About to give this a try.... Just wanted some general advice.

I've ODIN'd back to T959UVJI6 on my last two ROM upgrades (from Onyx 4 to Nero1, then Nero1 to Nero2)... Is this overkill?

1) Is it easier to just wipe, and install the next ROM i'm working with?

2) Getting the phone to download mode seems to be a pain when needed, VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER, usually gets me to recovery mode with stock ROM, but I usually get to download mode thru clockwork or such. anyone know a better way?

Keep up the good work Sombionix!
[Vibrant Android Development] jmerchant:
I use adb to get into download...

adb reboot download

super simple but requires you to have a computer and all the software installed...

SD Fix

Hey guys i have nero v1 installed on my phone and the external sd was working good but then it started to say parameter not correct is there a fix for this cuz everything works fine and everything but when i try to add something to the sd card it says this.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
try upgrading to nero 3
[Vibrant Android Development] vdubvr6:
Not sure if this is a bug or known issue with Nero V2... but from a fresh install (no added accounts other than gmail)

You go into 'contacts'

'Updates'

You will be prompted to log into a social network

'Facebook'

This is where it will force close on android.process.acore

However if I do this manually by

Going into 'settings'

'accounts and sync'

'add account'

'Facebook'

everything will work as anticipated

And the update section will work displaying my current updates/statuses

Just an FYI and to see if anyone else encounter this
[Vibrant Android Development] EP3FTL:
This may have been asked already but when im in CWR I don't see a "voodoo" file nor anything that says "disable voodoo".

I've read thru pages and pages and can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] ryan_wood14:
converted my samsung vibrant to a samsung captivate last time i messed with rooting.. so i am very careful with what i do. I have my device rooted running eugene ginger r2 rom... is this one better? also, if i havent added any other files but the rom, do i need to do step 2 with disabling things. if so, how do i disable them.
[Vibrant Android Development] TEE82:
Re: disabling voodoo

It's stated in the OP that voodoo should be disabled before flashing anything else new. I flashed the black swype zip, forgetting to disable voodoo, and no problems occurred.

Just to be clear, does disabling voodoo apply to only flashing new roms and not any flashable mods?

Thanks in advance !
[Vibrant Android Development] vdubvr6:
Now that Nero V3 has also been released I have a newb question?...

In order to 'upgrade' would I simply apply the following:

1. Log into CW Recovery

2. Remove Voodoo LagFix

3. Nandoid Backup

4. Flash V3 ROM

Or is it suggested to restore to a stock environment via ODIN prior to ensure a true 'clean' environment...

Also, I never considered flashing to be detrimental. But is excessive flashing bad for the device? This would be the second time (including V2) that this phone will have had a ROM update.
[Vibrant Android Development] vdubvr6:
The first time I rebooted I did not see that either it was the standard 'green' recovery console. Try to boot into recovery when you power down the phone in the power down options. It went directly into the 'red' CW recovery for me
[Vibrant Android Development] charzarn:
so idk what happened but everytime i reboot it does a wipe and cant download apps from the market . but thats useless because even if i could they would be wipe when i restart the phone
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
you're correct - flash away, and skip step 3, it takes too long. you surely are not afraid of no dragons. odin is not necessary unless your phone starts buggin out.
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
where's nero v3?
[Vibrant Android Development] vdubvr6:
Man somewhere in this post is a V3. I believe he will add more mods to it later. But it was posted maybe around page 84 or so
[Vibrant Android Development] aread22:
I would post the link but I am not sure I can. All you have to do is take the link of v2 and change the 2 to 3.

Can someone post the changelog to v3? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
ahh ok I was looking for a thread for it. I'll flash that once team whiskey has it completed then

[Vibrant Android Development] Asanchez1005:
Yeah, if you connect your phoneto either your computer or straight to the outlet, without the battery, then hold down both volume keys and then insert the battery - that will get you into download mode. 100% guaranteed!!
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
Ditto on this...

I know there's a lot of resistance to adb for new flashers, but this is really one of the best tools you can have in your arsenal.

Get used to Odin and ADB, and you can work your way out of nearly any problem you can come across, and manipulating things with adb is so powerful.

I've used it to move files around my sd cards when I couldn't mount, app installs, pushing and pulling files from the phone...

It's an invaluable tool, and really only takes a good couple of hours to get set up. I know that sounds like a lot when you're eager to get flashing, but that time up front has saved me so many hours of doing things harder ways...

Thanks for suggesting it that way...
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
The easiest way for me is to

1 - make sure odin is already launched,

2 - power down phone then press volume + and - and then simply plug in the usb cable.

Boom. No need to hold down the power button. or put in battery etc..

Copy this and save it as txt, it will come in handy
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:

I noticed that jl4 modem isn't that great at my house.. pretty ****ty reception. Wonder how jl5 modem will be. Other than that rom is great.
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
ok so just to be sure... (I use only rom manager btw)

follow the instructions on the OP to disable voodoo

and then install nero v3 like I would a regular rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] tiquau:
Thinkfree Office in V3?

Thank you for the great ROM.

Got the V3 installed but Thinkfree office was not included in the ROM. Was not able to restore Thinkfree Office backed up from the previous ROM (Beta 3, using Titanium). The free Lite version does not support PDF.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSVdeal:
Worked for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
Adobe reader is free and simply the best for pdfs

Can you flash the wifi calling from sonofskywalker from CWR w/o disabling voodoo?

Super nice ROM!!

Got a 1613 on Quadrant without fiddling with any settings!
[Vibrant Android Development] AlexAndroid:
Hi, I have now installed Nero V1 and I want to install this new version with Vodooo .... When you later want to switch again Rom is very difficult to uninstall the Voodoo to flash another ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
bump for answer
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Yes follow the instructions and you should be good to go. They just recommend it be safe to disable voodoo first before flashing other roms. Some people state you don't have to for certain roms just to be safe just disable it first.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Those instilling v3 are you gonna flash v3 final also? You would think it would be wise to wait or am I missing something
[Vibrant Android Development] AlexAndroid:
friends, and turn off the flash after Nero Vodooo V2?
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Me too. I used Spare Parts to speed up the animations and it looked cool. :)

Why was touch wiz mms removed just curious? I liked it so much better.
[Vibrant Android Development] marlopainter:
I don't normally comment on ROMs unless I have something constructive to say,

but this one is smoking hot fast!!!!!!!!

I've never seen my phone boot so fast before, so responsive, so quick...

First time I used any lag fixes as well, might have something to do with it.

I have not found any issues yet, but WOW. Digital Awesomeness!

Sombionix posted a couple pages back an in-depth explanation..mostly having to do w/ the blurry MMS issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
I have an issue with voodo. It will not turn on.

I flashed Nero V3 with voodo and for some reason and it never turns on. I don't hear Linda's voice unless I 'reboot' or 'turn off' the phone.

I've deleted the voodo folder in the root of my internal sd card to see if this was preventing it, and the folder shows up again after a reboot. I've deleted everything associated with the voodo folder to see if this might work, and nothing. I've also reflashed the rom with the voodo folder deleted in the internal sd card right before I flash the new one, nothing!

Any help would be appreciated.

I have never used voodo either, so I thought it would just flash with the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Do:

mount |grep -i ext4

If it returns, then its enabled. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
What specifically is making you think that you are not running Voodoo?

A good way to check is to type 'mount' from either Terminal Emulator (Market download, and easiest) or from adb shell (if you've configured adb).

It will list all of the mounts your phone uses. You'll be looking for /data, /system, /cache and /dbdata...if they say ext4 next to them, then you are running Voodoo. If they say rfs next to them, you aren't running a lag fix at all, and if /data says ext2, you are running OCLF.

Someone might have to back me on the OCLF one. I'm pretty sure it only converts /data, whereas Voodoo converts all four that I initially listed.

Hope that helps
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Sim stated that you will need to disable when flashing, so play it safe and disable voodoo.

Hate to see you softbrick your phone over the battery mod.

Let us know how did it turn out for ya! :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] janduin:
i just copied it back from the last rom i flashed (Axura 2.2) and it works perfectly. havent had a problem with it all day today (200+ texts)
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Tried this on Term. Emu.

su

mount |grep -i ext4

Nothing happens, it just brought me to next line below (#)
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
I got this from Team Whiskey's site...

If it is disabled is should read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'. <------ it does read Op2! It also does say rfs......
[Vibrant Android Development] tsisaac:
Still can't attach audio or recorded audio on messaging..anyone have a fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
Do you have a terminal app? What happens when you type "su" and hit enter.. SU tray pop up then?
[Vibrant Android Development] spiz516:
Would there be any issues with flashing to this straight from the latest Axura?
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
No just make sure you disable lagfix if your running one..
[Vibrant Android Development] spiz516:
No lagfixes here... thanks for the response! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] lezouave:
I just downloaded "Battery Indicator", a free app in the market. It puts a numeric readout in an icon on the left side of the status bar.
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Man WTF, I flashed this rom and it took about 2-3 minutes max which worried the crap out of me cuase usually a flash takes every bit of 10 minutes+ at times. Now it gets to the Samsung Vibrant Screen and just sits. Before I flashed I disabled Voodoo Lagfix. I was going from Nero Beta 3 to Nero V1 when this happen. Now when I got into recovery (up/down buttons+power) I get in red letters....

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid Argument)

I hope ODIN back to stock fix this.
[Vibrant Android Development] huasamaya:
i went in this order Fusion 1.2> nero beta2 nero beta3 Nero v1, i didn't use ODIN, and everything is working great, BTW i didn't any lag fix on this phone, because i just don't need it, TW's ROM are fast and smoth. good luck!!

The screen doesn't light up when there's messages, is this normal?
[Vibrant Android Development] shownuff:
It bricked me. and also quit a few other people. The thing is why these people are not reporting this. My title says noob. But I am not dumb. I have got good at flashing roms. I do all the wipes and always use Odin to stock before flashing. and disable all lagfixes. Even hough I dont have to if im Odin to stock I still do. I went back to Nero beta 3 and no problems. tested this 3 times., and Bricked. So I give up. And One of the mAin features I bought the phone is because I can record In HD. In order to record business videos. It works when theres no voodoo on it. It does record in 480p but thats not 720p. I even tried tricks that Eugene suggested, they dont work. I am sticking to the topic. I got the file from TW site love there stuff. But it bricked me. and a couple of my friends. So I am speaking on there behalves as well. We all had brciked flashing this rom. Any Solutions to this? And please people be honest. If this rom bricked your phone and somehow you got it to work then respond to this matter. There is not any shame in saying you bricked it even though you consider yourself an expert. We need help? Is the file bad? Please read this MODS. And other noobs before commenting negative things read this whole comment. Stop the selective reading or the no reading and responding negative method. Thank you very much. Have a great day.
[Vibrant Android Development] iPathik:
Yes! this has worked! apparently The maker of the ROM Manager made a mistake with the ROM Manager 2.5.1.4 thats on the market right now but i managed to get it to work and i am flashing the nero rom now...
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
Did you make sure that voodoo was disabled? Some custom kernels are having problems disabling voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
why does this keep soft bricking me.....can someone for god sakes please point me to a friggin screenshot.
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
After following the flashing instructions I had the data drop out on me twice in a matter of 60 seconds but it seems to be stable now.

I flashed from heathens sXe hyrbid 4. If I see the data drop again I'll try to odin back then reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
well Im not a noob so if there is a so called expert out there that can explain why this rom wont take speak up. i can flash every rom out there fine but not this one?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Sweet! Glad that worked. I would just hang on to that apk file for future flashes. :D

LaucherPRO vs Touchwiz

First, great rom!

What is up with LauncherPRO as the default home screen? I would rather have Touchwiz. Don't get me wrong, i'm a fan of LauncherPro and I even purchased me a copy of it. It's just i've gotten used to Touchwiz.

When I go into the app drawer, there is that pesky Home button just an inch above the home button on the Android. Why do you have that there?

I can't add my own app shortcuts on the home landing (botton of home screen).

Why can'y I go into the settings of LauncherPRO and set it up the way I like it?

Please make a version with Touchwiz on it.. Even though I paid for LauncherPRO, i personally prefer Touchwiz, since Samsung plays nice with Touchwiz rather than LaucherPRO (speaking about the built-in stask killer) it doesn't show Touchwiz, when it shows all the other home launchers to kill. YES!! the built-in task killer shows the Home Laucher as a task EXCEPT for Touchwiz. Don't believe me? Test it for yourself.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Sounds like you may have gotten a bad download, Many more people would have been complaining if the ROM bricked anyone else.

Make sure when you Odin like you're saying that you're running the latest version of Odin and flashing back to stock JFD.

To give you guys another walk through you do not need to re root after this if you have flashed clockwork mod before.

-Just get into Stock recovery and hit reinstall packages 2x. The first time it will take you back to stock recovery then hit it once more and clockwork will pop up.

-From there just install the ROM since it contains root as well.

-Let it run for 15 minutes just to make sure it has done everything it needs to then reboot

-And BEFORE you do anything else, sign into the market using your gmail account.

After this the ROM should be ready for whatever you want, kernels, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] dancegrenade:
Anyone mind putting up their own mirror? Thx

[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
To add your own shortcuts on launcher pro, long press on the shortcut you want to change. Dragging an app to the dock will not change it if that's what you're doing.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidaz:
Hey guys quick question,

I am rooted, backed-up and ready to go. The directions say I need to boot into recovery mode which I am doing with ROM Manager. I don't see anything in the recovery mode menu to allow me to install from the zip file.

My question is can I install this ROM from inside of ROM Manager?What I mean is not in the menu where I do my selections with the volume up and down, rather I open up the ROM manager app with my phone, and from there I select install rom, and then chose the nero zip file.

Let me know..thanks.

I found that upon flashing v3 that Voodo was not enabled. I had to go into CWM recovery and get to red screen(go to CWM recovery and hit advanced and than reboot to recovery which brings up red screen) and enable Voodo lagfix. It then went through the whole thing with Linda stating minutes etc. I do not believe the rom came with Vloodo enabled. I am not sure if it is this way with all devices but it was with mine. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] guedesigns:
can i flash this over the stock 2.1 firmware and kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
I dont know about anyone else but I havent been successful at installing v3. I have odined 3 to 4 times reflashed it seem a thousand times and still cant get boot animation to show or red voodoo CW menu ect. I flashed back to v1 and the clam shell boot animation shows up no problem. v3 is a no go for some reason on my phone. I flashed ginger clone r2 from eugene boot animation is fine. v3 I dont hear linda say anything upon installation just the blue writing flashes across the screen and upon reboot phone goes black and then boots up to homescreen set-up. I really wanted to try this rom but im not having any luck whatsoever. Ive cleaned dalvic cache, factory reset, fixed permissions and everything else imaginable per the instructions in the op, and still no luck.:(
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thanks. I was looking for this.
[Vibrant Android Development] bxrdj:
omg I am in smartphone heaven!

you guys are so awesome, this is just sick sick!
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Have the same situation.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
:(

Ok. I'm going to see if this works. I've had no luck so far. Thanks!

Update this did not work for me. I get a screen that says install default apk files please wait and install default apk files finished. i reinstall package boots into green menu hit advanced reboots to blue menu with same info listed. No red menu to be found.:(
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Can't get into the red screen!

I've tried going into the red screen doing what you stated above, it won't go in.

I go to 'advanced' and then 'reboot recover' then it turns off and brings me back to the blue screen which has 'reboot phone' 'reinstall packages' and so on..

I'm not sure why I can't access the red screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidaz:

It seems to me that voodoo drains a more battery

Whats the changelog from v2 to v3?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Same here. Theres a serious problem with this whole thing. I have flashed so many times and still no result. I dont understand why this whole thing works for some and not for others. Very frustrating especially when youre doing everything everyone is suggesting. Maybe this will be corrected. Som could you post V3 without voodoo maybe this will work for some of us. Thanks for your hard work. Its greatly appreciated.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
I just get a lot of info about R\o etc. but nothing about ext4 or rfs. Does anyone know how I can be sure I have Voodo enabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] TEE82:
When in the CWR (usual green letters), press the up/down volume + power buttons at the same time to get int the 'red' CWR menu. Then you'll be able to access the disable voodoo option.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidaz:
SWEET! Just got my phone flashed, waiting about 15 minutes, then I'll reboot and get to messing around with this ROM. Great work TW, I'll definitely be recommending this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
I just tried it again I did the following: booted into CWM recovery and then selected advanced and then reboot recovery and it than brought me to the red screen. Are you sure that you selected Advanced and then reboot recovery which should take you to Red screen with Voodo lag fix selection available.The only issue is that I am not sure Voodo is running ( I did enable it and went through the Linda voice etc) however the system does not seem as fast or as smooth as v2. So far the methods given on this thread to check it do not seem to bring up any information at all for me. If I try to enable Voodo again would it just say already enabled or would it attempt to enable it again and mess up my device? Any one have any info or help?
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
So here is what I noticed and did to enable voodoo with V3.

I disabled voodoo lagfix in the red recovery menu before flashing V3

After flashing V3 voodoo not enabled

Went to recovery through the shutdown menu

At the red recovery scroll down to voodoo lagfix

When it goes to the voodoo lagfix screen you will see some text in white below the red menu.

The text indicated:

"Voodoo Lagfix is actually: disabled"

'Next Boot: disabled"

Scroll to enable lagfix and select with the power button.

goback

reboot

Voodoo is enabled

Hope this helps.

Dude, wait until v3 WITH voodoo gets posted here if you want it so badly, or either just odin back and flash the v3 without voodoo and flash your own voodoo kernel.
