OK guys, here it is.
For those unfamiliar with Voodoo : http://project-voodoo.org/
This kernel includes ONLY the voodoo lagfix, no color fix ATM.
For FAQs : http://project-voodoo.org/faq
Also now included is the option of using aosp style bootanimations. The attached zips include one. If you want to use your own, then place a compatible bootanimation.zip in either /system/media or /data/local.

First off, have PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE!!!!!!
It takes a WHILE on the first boot to do the conversion and copy over your data. If you decide to revert back to stock, it will take a WHILE then to convert back. Don't reboot, let it do its thing.
Once you've flashed this kernel, don't just go flashing other kernels. Voodoo changes some key parts of your system and you will have fix them by hand if you flash another kernel without removing voodoo first. To remove, simply do adb shell "> /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix" and then reboot. If you want to re-enable voodoo, then remove that file.
If you have less than 220mb of space remaining on internal storage, then clean some stuff out before flashing this. I have also included a 1.2GHz overclocked kernel.
For those who get excited from staring at Quadrant all day: I KNOW YOUR SCORES ARE NOT AS HIGH AS THEY ARE WITH THE EXT2 "LAGFIX". This is to be expected. Voodoo does not mess with /dbdata but only /data. THIS RESULTS IN ABSOLUTELY NO LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY OR USEABILITY.
If you are running the ext2 "lagfix", please uninstall it before using this. If you have problems, wipe data and try again. Voodoo should retain data, but nothing is foolproof. Be prepared to lose your data! If you have problems with force closes after uninstalling, make sure to wipe using the option in the privacy menu.
Thanks to Dirrk and DataSpree for help getting the kernel in a useable condition, and thanks to SuperCurio for the original lagfix and clues on how to get it working with the Fascinate.
If you would like to look at the code for yourself, please check my github @ github.com/jt1134
Enjoy!
******EDIT******
For anyone who flashed v0.1, I made a stoopid. Sorry. I've attached a fixed version. You will need to uninstall the current voodoo before flashing this. To uninstall simply do : adb shell "> /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix" . or, create a blank file in your favorite manner. You can also do this with a file explorer program such as Astro or Root Explorer. Then reboot. Once you've booted into android successfully, you can install the attached zip. If voodoo does not reinstall for you, make sure you have deleted /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix. Repeat: this is only if you are running v0.1!
edit: removed attached kernels. newer versions available on rom manager.

This is the real lag-fix guys..
Quadrant scores will be less than the OCLF because that "fix" uses a loopback device, which doesn't honor fsync function calls when accessing SQLite db's.. Quadrant score includes db write tests, so what you see with this voodoo lag fix is an actual represntation of the devices capability. The OCLF scores are artifically inflated.
Please keep in mind that untill you uninstall Voodoo, you cannot flash a kernel without ext4 support or you'll probably boot into a stock looking device with FC hell. Basically if you're ever going to flash anything, uninstall voodoo first.

Amazing work!!!! Thanks again!

Now we need an overclocked voodoo kernal, to see what this thing will really do. Hint Hint.

Worked flawlessly here too...took awhile to boot, but all is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

So just so everyone is crystal clear. If I or anyone has one of jt's [or Dirrk's or any] OC Kernal's those should be re-flashed back to stock prior to installing this voodoo kernal. Yes?
That is, don't flash this voodoo kernal on top of an existing OC Kernal. Right?

---

Thanks to our amazing modding community for their hard work. Jt we all love you man.

no. it works if you flash on top of it.. all it will do is replace the kernel you have .. but if you want to flash to jt's kernel and you have voodoo, you have to disable voodoo then flash that kernel..

Thanks JT and team! Your work is appreciated!

no need to flash back to stock. just don't flash another kernel "after" flashing this one unless you disable_lagfix first

---

Great to see this is already ready! Just to be clear I have two quick questions. Does this waste any more battery power than the stock kernel? Also this does not overclock the phone, right?

---

No and no, at least it would be terribly unnoticeable if it did affect battery life.

---

good lookin out.. about to flash in a sec!!
