[Vibrant General] cccheel:
After reading and thinking about it for a while, I finally took the plunge and flashed my first ROM (Azura) here about 2 weeks ago. I read more and more on here (it is quite addictive) and decided to try switching to the new Bionix-v ROM. Before ever flashing, I was getting pretty frustrated with the stock Vibrant - always freezing, lagging, GPS not working, etc. I honestly feel like I have a brand new phone.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the developers out there that spend countless hours working on ROMS, apks, and other things to share with the community. I see from reading through these boards that tons of people "drive-by" here and grab things, sometimes without reading first, and then look to the "pros" to get them out of their mess. So thank you for everything.

To all the newbies like myself, keep reading. The answers are on here. Sometimes it's hard to find them, and it's ok to ask a question, but please search before asking a question. Also, please thank the devs when you use something or when someone helps you out.
[Fascinate General] gunnermike:
i have a few technical questions about voodoo

1. i recently was unable to load widgets after restart, and i couldnt install apps, my available memory was 0.00. i got it fixed. my question is, is this related to voodoo? what causes this. how can i prevent it in the future?

2. lets say im on a voodoo kernel and i disable lag fix. if i dont flash a new kernel, i will still be using that voodoo kernel, just with rfs instead of ext4. it does not revert to a stock or default kernel?

3. if im right about question 2, and i think i am, do the sound enhancements require the lag fix to work? i wouldnt think they would, if it works on one filing system why wouldnt another?
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
You must have installed a non-Voodoo kernel over a Voodoo one. When you install a Voodoo kernel, it converts the file system(s) to EXT4 from RFS. If you then flash a non-Voodoo kernel, it can't read any of the EXT4 file systems because it doesn't support EXT4.

To avoid this problem in the future, you need to disable the lag fix and convert back to RFS *before* flashing a new kernel. You do this by going into the Voodoo options in the red Clockwork recovery, setting the lag fix to disable and rebooting. During the boot, it'll automatically convert back to RFS and then you can flash any kernel you like.

Correct, you'll still have the Voodoo kernel, it just won't be using EXT4.

I just tried disabling the lag fix, and the sound enhancements still seem to function, so it would appear they're not dependent on the lag fix being enabled.
[Fascinate General] gunnermike:
i havent touched nonvoodoo kernels since i made that post on ac. i was thinking the same thing, so i disabled the lag fix, flashed a kernel i KNEW was voodoo, reenabled the lag fix. still had 0.00 available mem and widgets wouldnt load after a restart. for the trouble shooting part of the post on ac i flashed a nonvoodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel on purpose, and my phone wouldnt boot. the fix was simple for that. i got completely differant results this time. i KNOW i did not flash a nonvoodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel. i went through every kernel on my sd card and NONE of them are voodoo. just to be sure, after i got phone fixed i flashed everysingle kernel on my sd card, and they all worked fine.

is this chris3d? i couldnt get numbers for my name either.

What the hell did I do now!? I tried installing a theme with CWM (oops) and somehow made the sdcard unwilling to mount. I can get into CWM still, but it wont let me install update.zip or any other file for that matter. It says "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" or "Can't mount /sdcard"... basically, it won't mount. Now I cant reflash... I'm downloading Odin but I'd rather not have to do that...

Bought a Galaxy S of ebay and its Vodafone branded and I am on another network and its very heavily branded. I just want the standard 2.2 but am having trouble finding any info I have I9000GVODJM3 at the min, can I just change this using the Kies registry patcher to another UK code?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
you could try samfirmware.com and get the fimware you want... this way it will be just samsungs own firmware and not modified by the nasty network operator people.

or you could get root explorer (if your rooted) and manually remove them.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Or choose a UK network phone brand and spoof Kies to that .

Method would be downgrade via Odin to Eclair .

Use Kies Registry Patcher to spoof an O2 product and upgrade Froyo to that .

O2 adds on wallpaper and bookmarks for a few O2 sites is all .

If useing Kies reg patcher you can back up the downloaded firmware .

Ok, My brain is fried, I've been at this all afternoon and got no where, Help, I am a total newbie to galaxy S, never had such a headache with my desire.

What I have tried is, downloaed Kies 2.0 and registry hack, it doesn't work with 2.0, so back to kies 1.5, I enter registry hack and detected etc etc XEU code and it says no update is available for this product. Grrr. I know there is an update available.

As for Odin that looks like a headache, I am running 2.1 atm
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdl1969:
Flashing with Odin is actually very straightforward and generally much easier than faffing around with Kies. I've attached the Odin 1.7 files to this post for you, you'll find detailed instructions on how to use it in other posts but basically you launch Odin and select the ROM you want to flash (I recommend the one in this link, it's the latest v2.2.1 and is good for the UK, I'm running it on my phone. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10892253&postcount=305) Select this ROM as PDA, and do not select a PIT file or check re-partition. Put the phone in download mode (power off and then hold the volume down, home and power button), when you seen the 'Android at work' screen, connect the phone to your PC. You should see that Odin recognises the phone and providing it does you can start the flash. Don't disconnect your phone until the flash finnishes fully! Good luck!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
Hi,

I recently flashed a new rom (ultimate galaxy s v.7) from xda, and I flashed it via clockwork.

clockwork installed it and I rebooted, and it seemed to hang on the lockscreen for an abnormally long amount of time.

when i take the battery out and try to boot into recovery mode, it flashes to black then shows the galaxy s boot again.

previous to flashing this rom i have cleared the cache and all data on the phone. i have a nandroid backup so if i could get back to clockwork recovery this would be helpful.

also previous to flashing this rom i had a 3 UK rom which i installed by accident via kies, running 2.1...this rom seemed to be quite resistant to installing another rom from kies.

help would be MUCH appreciated...

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
so recovery mode isnt an option then ?

What about Download mode ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
Hi,

Download mode worked before.

I have now managed by some miracle to get into recovery mode and now have gained options about a speedmod universal lagfix.

Is this associated with clockwork / ultimate 7.0 rom / a sign that the rom has installed in some form, and should i reboot, or should i now do a nandroid back to the rom i had before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
I believe speedmod uses CWM, so you can just do the rollback to your previous rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
however would it be safe to reboot, as i'm currently in recovery mode and considering to do a nandroid OR alternatively reboot and see if the new rom starts up..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well u cant leave it in recovery mode forever lol, reboot it, if it doesnt come on, try recovery mode again or just flash another ROM thru ODIN
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
ok. how long do you think is a reasonable time to wait before concluding that the rom doesn't work and I should nandroid back to my old rom...?

Take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger. You should see a battery with a question mark. Then insert the battery and see if it recognizes the battery.

Edit: How do I move to an external SD card without being able to mount?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxracer101:
Put an SD card in the phone, run TIBU, use MyFiles to move or copy the TIBU folder to the external SD on the phone, remove the sd card from the phone, stick sd into computer of your choice and copy to computer.

There's no need to connect the phone to the computer directly as long as you have a computer that reads an sd card. For that matter there is no real need to copy them to the computer. When you get the new phone stick the sd card in the phone, copy TIBU folder back to internal sd card and restore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edtonn:
Worked perfectly. Hadn't even ventured into My Files because I was always using Astro/Root Explorer. Ironically, My Files made it much easier to differentiate external SD b/c of a different icon...knowledge for next time.

Havent ever used CM7, but I've been on CM6 for the last week and love it... better speed than stock but battery life has been unchanged... I'm pretty sure that CM7 is inderstood to be somewhat unstable... hence the nightly builds, so if you want to be able to leave it be for a while with little chance of probs then CM6 is prolly the way to go... If nothin else, flash CM7 and see how it goes.... you can always switch if you're getting FC's or something that you need isnt working..... good luck

I'm running CM7 now, never 6. It really boils down if you want stability, or experimental. I haven't had any problems with CM7 [except build 16 which a lot of people did] but its up to 18 now and I have no problems. CM6 is stable so its set. You can always try CM7 and go back to a backup of CM6 if you don't like it.

in my edition, you can have usb connected..
[Defy Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
important from the chinese one is the kernel and related partitions etc from sbf.

so if you restore the system image uploaded with cwm, you just need to flash the chinese boot+recovery+partitions as i think such sbf exists too somewhere in a thread?

To flash this ROM coming from any 3.4.2 you must use the boot only.

Just do this:

Enter clockmodwork, wipe all, restore defyfroyosense, wipe all again.

Press "Reboot Phone" and start pressing VOLUP till you get to the bootloader.

Flash boot_only.sbf (see attachment)

Now you will boot just fine into Sense :)

I'm running the ROM for some hours now, every thing looks fine but i was on 2.51 and i have still some problems (they are the same that were on Chinese 2.2)

Camera wasn't working by default, i had to flash camera_fix to make it work, the other thing is about flashlight, it does work everytime but is out of sync.

Dexter launched a fix for HTC Camera to work under widescreen, we all had a bootloop after we applied the patch.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10994057&postcount=104

I still have the patch if someone wants to try the files alone, pls PM, i will not post to prevent bootloop's.

Other thing is getting directly from HTCCamera to the Gallery and taking two photos without relauching the app (pls confirm this), but maybe the fix i talk in the patch would fix it.

For people having root problems just use this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10993413&postcount=97

I think the main issues in this ROM are because of the Chinese 2.2, any dev wants to try porting this to orange or UK 3.4.2? :)

[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
its an idea, but we could make this over chinese 2.2 as long as Jboogies´ Rom is, and everything is fine there, the rom is 100% operational, with the downgrade option. Maybe we could have both options.
