Man... I feel like a nag! But... in CWM when I enabled lagfix, it says:

Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled
next boot: enabled

Options:

/system lagfix conversion: yes
debug mode: no

Is this what I am supposed to be seeing? And what does it mean?

Sorry for all the probably pretty obvious questions... but I am really just trying to learn as much as possible about this stuff!

thats one of the issues with our current cwm. it will always say that. jt and kouch are working on a new cwm. not sure y you didnt hear lady android but if your partitions show as ext4 then you have lag fix enabled. you are good to go.

I had him disable and he heard her, then i had him wipe his caches and re-enable... but i think he has a permissions issue because he is having FC city

bummer. sounds like he needs to wipe cache. system format wouldnt hurt either. if youve talked to him im gonna assume hes done a fix permissions.

i had him wipe cache,, but he got tired so we didnt get to the permissions part cause he had to go to sleep... i cant expect everyone to keep my hours lol

Hey guys... yes DXC had me disable, reboot, enable, reboot and I did finally here the lady andriod! (thanks man!)

I did not perform a wipe, system format or do anything with permissions...

if you are haveing problems. are you.

if you are haveing problems. are you.

none that I am aware of.... I really never was having problems, I just didnt have the voice talking during reboot, until DroidXcon advised me to disable/enable.

When you talk about a wipe, do you mean cache partition? Dalvic? System wipe?

Thanks gm53!

I do have a question about a partition wipe... do they take a long time to run? I only tried to run it once, and I thought my phone had froze up, and, being a a noob, I panicked and did a battery pull and have not tried it since.

I thought I saw something in the script while I was running it that said "error" but that was a while ago and now I dont remember for sure.

OK... I am going to make the jump to VooDoo... one BIG question... is it going to wipe my SD card clean? (seeing as it has to change formats from RFS to ext4).

Lol. No. It formats 4 system partitions. They are located on the internal memory.

Thanks, Mike! For a guy with an I.T. degree (me), this phone stuff can be tricky at times. : )

For some reason I thought it formatted everything. Thanks again!

Voodoo is a kernel replacement. Our phones use a proprietary RFS file system built as a legacy FAT, adding indexing and POSIX permission on the internal 2gb SD card. There is nothing wrong with RFS, but it?s slow. From what I understand it indexes everything. This takes time, causing lag. Voodoo reformats the internal SD card with standard Linux EXT4.

The red text (emphasis mine) is what made me think the SD Card gets formatted.

Perhaps you could edit where it says 'internal SD Card' and change it to 'internal memory'? Or am I the only person who was confused by this (you can be honest - LOL).
