I trust what you're saying moon, well, because you generally seem to know what you're talking about. But for a lot of the other people, I think it boils down to not knowing what to do and/or check for when they flash a new rom.

My experience in the last day with 4.2:

-Flashed 4.2, got the SD wipe, Odin'd and reflashed. Restored apps/settings. Applied ULF "ludicrous speed!!!!11one!"* lagfix and tweaks. Checked all settings for optimal performance.

-Wiped battery stats. Put phone through ridiculous battery drain procedure to drain it (GPS, BT, WIFI, Screen all On. Played Angry Birds for three hours, let it sit in GMaps for an additional 2 to completely drain.) Recharged to full post-mortem. (In other words kids, I calibrated my battery, which you ALL need to do after flashing a new rom).

-Upgrade/Calibration complete by 1700 MST.

-Usage so far: 2h17m phone conversations. Approx 30 mins on interwebs. 20 or so text messages. 15 mins reading FML from widget. 15 mins reading TFLN from widget at bar. 4 checkins on foursquare. So I used plenty of phone, data and GPS time. Phone in idle state at 0200 MST, battery at 51%.

-Woke up at 0630 MST using phone alarm. Battery at 45%.

So, if that's tl;dr for you all, I got 55% drain in 13.5 hours. I'd say thats pretty damn decent battery life. Yes, I'm using a stock battery. No, I didnt do anything special or super-sekret. Just be smart about your phone. If you're using wifi at home, you need to make sure its set to turn off when your screen does. If you dont have your BT hooked up, TURN IT OFF. Calibrate your battery...NOW. Try Odin'ing back to stock to kill all the ghosts in the machine (if you make a backup of your files to your computer and have titanium pro, the whole process from odin to full restore of 4.2 should take you 15 minutes)

These things will help you get better battery life.

*if you didnt get the ludicrous speed reference from spaceballs, you're not old enough to own this device. :)

How Do You Do That VooDoo That You Do?

I'm tryin' to go from version 3 to 4.2. I ran the .zip to disable voodoo and it didn't work. I looked for the presence of the disable voodoo file and it was there. I have rebooted multiple times, tried reapplying the .zip a couple of times, and pulled the battery. Is there anyway to fix this without using Odin to go back to stock?

Thanks

P.S. searched the forums too. Found a lot of interesting stuff, but not about this.
[Vibrant Android Development] ilaf0106:
Lol they have a lot by where I live lol FREE !

By wipe of the internal sd shar what do you guys mean like if you were to format your internal sd in your phone? My internal didn't get wipe!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
How are you determining that voodoo is not disabled? Did Millie tell you she was converting data back to JFD? If not, and you know that the correct file is in the voodoo folder which is located in the root directory, then you will probably need to Odin back to stock. Don't worry, it's easy and all the links you need are in my signature.
[Vibrant Android Development] Halieus:
No millie, and my quadrant score is still in the 1500+ range. I'll do the odin thing. I've done it before it just makes me nervous for some reason.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
Easier way: create a text file in the voodoo directory on your sd card called disable-lagfix.txt and then use the command prompt on your computer to rename it to disable-lagfix (no extension, the filesize should read 0b in explorer when you're done).

the command string is generally as follows (obviously change for the right drive letter)

C:> G:

G:> cd voodoo

G:\voodoo> rename disable-lagfix.txt disable-lagfix

G:\voodoo> exit

after that, unmount, reboot and listen to millie telling you shes reverting to RFS. of course, doing an odin-to-stock is always good for clearing the cobwebs.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Seriously... Your flashing without having a complete understanding of how to correct these sorts of issues?

Flashing back to stock is posted in the main vibrant Bible page... Its called back to stock 2.1 under the Odin flashable ROM thread.

I love the rom but here is my issue. I am not sure anyone is having problem with battery life. I did odin before that. Did battery reconditioning. Whatelse should I do? Rom is pretty cool. The best looking rom I have ever used.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gigabytex:
Flashed to v4.2 Its fast and all but I'm still getting notification sound issues.. I got the ULF Kernel with Overkill JFS. that seems to be the only problem, that and that it freezes when changing keyboards.. :s
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Yeah, same with me also. I have removed my externalSD card, and my carrier card, then I went to download mode. I fired up Odin3, and used the 512 for my PIT and PDA is the JFD. I EVEN made sure that the "Re-Partition" is checked. IT DOESN'T WIPE. I think nothing will wipe it. I have the same junk folders in there that belong to apps LONG AGO..

I gave up trying, and just accept it. I'm thinking about researching what the directory structure is for a stock Samsung Vibrant, and deleting directories that don't belong.
[Vibrant Android Development] timafey:
Having battery issues as well, already reconditioned the batt and Odin back to stock before flashing, might be a background service? Running 4.2 w/ ULF tried the ext4 on everything, I unplugged my phone from the charger about hour and a half ago and Im down to 87% already, didn't really even use the phone at all
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
can everyone with battery issues post there setup please instead of just stating issues. also remember to read the original post this kernel came from. it helps

EDIT: And, btw, the OP says this:

"All files (system, modem, kernel) based off OFFICIAL VIBRANT JK2 2.2 Froyo"

Holy ****, is this an official Vibrant 2.2 build? I mean REALLY official? From Samsung, for the Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
Hi,

You guys rock!!!

Few questions:

1) Is core kernel compatible with this ?

2) can I install ji6 modem on this as I need the better signal or it comes with its own modem.

3) How is the battery life.

Thanks

[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
Am I stupid or something. Running Bionix 1.1 no issues, went and loaded Eugenes Froyo r8 and it didnt wipe my phone, i ran it from Clockwork and install new.. now I have the problem with media scanner, i said heck, i went and wanted to boot into reboot recovery from Clockwork to recalibrate battery (in the same time period this version appeared so i wanted to just reboot and reload this now), but when I try to reboot into recovery from Clockwork, it justs freezes and comes back in a bit with 'wait' or fc so then i tried adb to see the device, it shows, then i did adb reboot recovery but again, it just freezes there from adb at the command line.

sorry for rambling.. 2 questions. 1) Why didn't it wipe 2) How to get it to reboot into recovery (initially just to get battery wipe) but now to load this one.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
I'm no pro but I don't think you can install ji6 as this is a whole new kernel. BTW, I love your avatar logo. The mountain created by the W along with the Sun is perfect~

[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:

[Vibrant Android Development] drmosh:
Running smooth so far... for those having problems initially with Titanium Backup, you don't need to uninstall and reinstall for SU, just exit the app and restart it... it goes so fast that it misses the SuperUser call...

The filesystem optimizations in 2.2 seem to be much better than 2.1...

lagfix issue

I just flashed the Obsidian V4.2 stock kernal. I am having a problem with the lagfix. The benchmark hovers around the 900 range when it was up above 2000 before. When i try to use OCLF it gives me an error "you already appear to have another lag fix installed (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)". Is there another lagfix installed? Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Unless it's hardware locked, you don't need the jig. PM me if you think I can help.
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:

Running Obsidian 4.2 stock kernel. When I first turn my screen on, it always says (Searching) in the upper right. I have a signal, and the phone is working fine, but it doesn't say the network name like it used to.

Transparent Launcher Add-on

Tried searching the forum to death on this... I saw one post on the Team Whiskey board but couldn't find the same solution that person did:

How the hell do you get your normal icons back after you flash the transparent launcher? The icons/apps do not appear under the application drawer to do the normal grid customization.

The transparent drawer is cool, but useless if I've lost my phone, dialer, and messaging shortcuts...
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Before you install it you have to put your contacts/messaging icons back in your app drawer and copy a shortcut to the phone icon on your homescreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Thats good to hear!
[Vibrant Android Development] Meanrogue:
Doh. Do I have to nand restore back to before or can I just push the apk back and that will give me the icons back?
[Vibrant Android Development] Halieus:
Did the odin revert back to stock without problem, and have now got 4.2 working. So far so good I'm restoring my apps right now with titanium.

Thanks Moon.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Good to hear.

Has anyone besides me tried running 4.2 with stock kernel and then applying the mounting fix that Som posted? It made my external sd not readable by my phone or my pc. I'm leery to try it again before I get someone else to confirm that it worked for them with the stock kernel. Thanks.

[Vibrant Android Development] jimmahh:
count one more with internal sd wipe

Count me as one of the unlucky few with the internal SD wipe. I gambled and lost by not backing up all data to an external drive. Went back to stock with Odin and reflashed 4.2 with no issues.

Word to the wise: back up your internal SD to your computer before flashing 4.2.

Other than the SD wipe issue, the 4.2 rom is awesome!

[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
Why are people always talking about odin? I never once needed to use it because of clockwork mod? Are purple not following directions?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Not running stock kernel, but...

I had some weirdness with the SD card fix too. After I flashed it I couldn't read either card on the PC. Rebooted a few times, still nothing. Finally I thought to reboot Windows. Lo and behold, that worked. I can now see both cards without problem. R/W is fine on both as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yes, purple don't know how to read labels. Junkie. lol, inside joke.

Odin does a more complete wipe and if you have not had problems, more power to you. Some "people" who have flashed while following directions still have ghosts creep up on them from a previous flash. Odin seems to bust those ghosts.
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmahh:
I thought the instructions on the OP said to "Odin back to jfd" if the internal SD wipe problem is encountered. Clockwork no longer works once the internal SD wipe occurs.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Purple talk about Odin because Odin is a valuable resource that everyone who messes with custom ROM's should know how to use. Perhaps you have been fortunate in never having need of it, but one never knows when a flash might go wrong. Oft times Odin is the only way to get back up and running.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, I rebooted and even root explorer would not show my external sd card. All is well with the stock kernel, but I just don't know if I should try the fix again and take the risk, or just wait until the next rom that will probably have the true fix anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] r3skyline:
yay, DL links back up. good, need to grab a copy for my PC... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Even though i'm smart enough to read, and I should have searched and read the posts before I flashed 2.1 over 2.2 and soft bricked my phone, becasue of a Kernal thing. Some phones with some folks have issues on getting into recovery. It seems the later phones Samsung prevents folks on getting into recovery from the button pressing, but ussually people can get into download mode everytime.

Thanks God for Odin!

I have read somewhere that the officcial T-Mobile upgrade wont happen now untill firt part of next year. Our friends from Canada will get it before us in the USA.. I'm SOOOOOOO looking forward to "Team Whiskey"'s version of the offical T-Mobile release!!!

Guys, I fixed the SD card mounting issue yesterday. Trust me, I tested this THROUGH AND THROUGH before I sent the fix up to Viral and Som. It was a Vold issue, not a Kernel issue.

It mounts perfectly in both Windows XP, 7, and Ubuntu.

If you are still having issues after flashing the new file, reboot all devices and PC's. If you still have the issue, add the file to the rom zip and reflash the rom. simple as that.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Also, I added the fix directly in the current rom downloads. So also try downloading one of the new rom files and reflashing. The fix definitely works.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Perfect. thank you. If I end up needing to add the rom zip, do I just simply drop it in the zip and that's it? No need to change any scripts or anything? Thanks again.

Edit: Som just voided my questions.

I tried it with the USB port in and out.

I also noticed that it will not read the green battery screen when it is pluged in, USB or charger. I switched to a fully charged battery and still do not have a green battery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
