I'm using the no rfs JFS Advanced lagfix on A14
it runs amazing
I had some issues with that same lag fix on A12 (it wiped my internal sd and killed my market lol) but no issues at all on this new kernel, also no hang ups on the boot screen anymore.

x2. Also, after changing my settings to -50 -50 -50 -100 -100 -100 on boot and rebooting the phone [I'm running MacNut 12, by the way], SetCPU to 200-800MHz things have been smoother than ever.
I was about to use no rfs advanced and rebooted and then I was at the screen where it said continue back up and restore so I went back to recovery and disabled it because I was confused. When I'm at that screen what do I do.

you should just have to set your lagfix whichever one you want.
then back all the way out and choose reboot device on the main menu.
when it reboots it will ask you if you want to use back up and restore and a few other options, the first one (back up and restore) should be the best.
all its doing is attempting to back up your files while it reformats the memory, then it will try to restore everything once the lagfix is complete.

I noticed something since i updated to JI6 while using Clockwork recovery. while on JFD i was able to do a backup using the following steps:
HOW TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP *ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH A NEW ROM
1 - Open Rom Manager
2 - Click on Flash Clockwork Recovery (you can skip this if you have already flashed the recovery before)
3 - Click on "Reboot Into Recovery"
4 - At the prompt, click "ok" to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
5 - If this is your first time, you may be at the stock recovery on the Vibrant. Thats normal. Click on "reinstall packages" (ALSO: Volume up and down navigate, and power is used to select an item).
6 - Now, you are at ClockworkMod's Recovery. Scroll down (volume down), to "Nandroid" and select it (power button).
7 - Click on Backup. It will run it's course. After it finishes just reboot.
8 - You now have something you can always fall back on in case you F up. Thank Koush and all the testers.
Now when i tried to do a backup on JI6 i no longer see Nandriod option all i see is "backup and restore". is this normal? has anyone else noticed this? will impact the backup/restore process?
That might not be a JI6 thing. Koush just updated rom manager. Thats most likely the reason.

clockworkmod 2.5.1.2
when i select "check for rom updates" it says that i am not set for OTA and i need to contact dev.
Your all good bro! Thats the same version Im running and I just checked, I dont have NANDROID anymore either. That was all part of the recent update I guess.
As for the second question, ROM updates is talking about the actual ROM the phone runs off of, You know like ECLAIR 2.1, or Eugenes or Sombionix's roms. Not the ROM manager APP. The APP will let you know when it needs to be updated, it checks what version you are running versus what the latest version availible is everytime you open it.

what about flashing to a old clockworkmod? or is there no need to? i just want to make sure that when i backup i will not have any issues if i need to restore..
one more Q. any particular way to name the backups? i know there is not that much room to be specific with the name.

well answer my own question, i reflashed clockwork to 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.0 and the nandroid option still does not come up only "backup & restore"....
anyone on the best way to name your backups? not that much room to be specific.
if you choose to back up from ROM manager you can name it whatever you want. Just go into Rom manager, tap backup current rom, when the little box pops up click it and change the name to whatever you want. It will automatically boot into clockwork mod and take care of the back up for you. let it finish, patience is critical whenever flashing anything or backing anything up. And your done. You will now have a complete backup you can use when the going gets tough. Are you running a stock vibrant?

Dont worry, you wont screw anything up, all four of those choices wipe everything and flash a kernel. My suggestion is to flash bionix1.9.1 with JAC's OC/UV kernal. its pretty sweet. Stay away from voodoo right now. No offense, but your not ready yet. VOODOO really can F*%k your stuff up if you dont disable it before flashing other stuff. Trust me, once you start flashing you will never be happy! LOL Thats how i started.
The best thing you can do is read read read. Then when you think your ready, READ some more. If you ever need help feel free to pm me. Im always on. Sorry I didnt even look at your sig. And HAPPY FLASHING BRO!

so if i flash bionix 1.9.1 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel, i can go back to what i have now after i back it up? and could i use oneclicklagfix with it? any diff from voodoo to oneclick? and i am sure i need to disable oneclick before i flash.

No need to disable lagfix it will get wiped and reformatted. However I did see a way to do it, but i dont use them so i dont know how its done. The whole point of backing up is so you can get back to where you were in case something goes wrong or yu dont like what you see. As far as one click lag fix (OCLF) and voodoo go, its like night and day. VOODOO is INSANELY fast. ALL THE TIME. but they are truely different approaches at the same goal. But for now i reccomend you stay away from voodoo.

No problem. Im here to help when i can.
I installed for first time AXURA rom with Vodoo Lagfix..
It booted fine, and everything was good (sign, data, fast, stable)
But I always like to format both my internal and external SD Card when I flash a new rom, so I did.. and also I went to recovery and wiped all user data.
Now when I turn on the Vibrant, it shows the initial screen (Vibrant - Samsung) and then it load the boot up animation, but anything more happens...
Is normal to have to wait, was good to format and wipe having Voodoo Lagfix enabled? or did I mess everything? I can get to recovery mode.. But I want to learn if I did something wrong? What should I do now

it certainly sounds like wiping with voodoo running may have caused it, but im not entirely sure.
thats the only downside to running voodoo, is that its so damn touchy. ive learned (the hard way, many times) to pretty much disable voodoo before doing ANYTHING on my phone, in order to avoid problems like this.
you are going to have to reflash Axura and start from scratch. if that doesnt work, youll have to ODIN back to true stock 2.1, and then flash your ROM of choice.
Dont mess with Voodoo magic..........

This should have an "IF" at the end of it. Because you SHOULD mess with the voodoo if you want a faster phone. You just need to play carefully with it and disable before flashing (unless what you are flashing is also voodoo).

If you wipe after flashing it's not doing anything for you especially since Axura wipes during install. If anything, by not wiping first there may be something still stuck in there that affected the flash of the Rom.
I would boot into CW and re-flash Axura. When it's done just hit reboot and wait for it to load up.
So I just installed Nerov4.1 which I must say I'm loving. However, my curiosity is making me want to check out axura's rom as well. I've read and seem some videos that state you should restore the phone to stock mode before installing another ROM. Is this true or can I just install another ROM through ROM Manager without having to do so? If I should restore my vibrant back to stock what is the best and easiest method to do it? I just want to make sure I'm doing the steps correctly when switching from ROM to ROM. Thanks for helping a newbie out fellas!

Thanks for the response but do I have to go back to stock mode each time I want to try a new ROM??

I'm very much just a noob, but as far as I'm aware you MUST disable voodoo. Vodoo comes automatically switched on in 4.1. If you are going back to stock this must be done.
I think you can go into clockwork recovery and turn it off. Or there's an app in the market that will be able to confirm/ switch it on or off I think.

I wrote steps in the noob guide... but as I pointed out there also, you do not always need to go back to stock.
I would disable voodoo (just to be safe)
make a backup
reboot
go back to cwr
factory wipe/wipe data/wipe dalvik (advanced)
flash the rom
reboot and wait
let the phone sit for 10 minutes
reboot
restore your apps (titanium Backup, assuming you use this app)
reboot
enable voodoo if not already
reboot
If you notice any issues then you should ODIN back to stock the flash the rom.. there may be "ghosts" from the previous rom causing the issue... it's a best practice, but absolutely not needed.

Thank you in advance!
im wondering the smae thing.ive been flashing a lot of roms and havent had to go back to stock but i know its only a matter of time.if you find a method that works great for you please let me know
when we install new roms doesnt the process wipe the system data and dalvik cashe.why is it better to use your method.im just a curios noob
no.. all your pics, videos, etc will still be there unless you do a format yourself.
ive flashed back to Stock and then added different roms and everyone ive gone back to after stock, the settings of Anroid System in Settings is 0. the problem is that everytime I reboot the phone, all my settings aren't there anymore such as volume levels I previously set up or even the selection of keyboard - how can I fix this?
I've had this problem too.. a reboot of my phone on any custom rom always wipes my contact list, settings, messages, and apps but keeps my wallpaper and wifi and google info... I've always wondered why and if there's a way to fix it

when I get to a computer will give this a try, thanks.. i've noticed an occasional "error mounting /data" when wiping in CWR but payed it no attention since everything works fine when it boots up on first install
edit: im not using any voodoo kernels or CWR so i don't think that ext4 formats gonna work for me.. however it seems my /data and /datadata corruption problems stem from a simple mistake: not booting into the stock rom once first before odin-ing CWR
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Lol I'm going threw that crap now. Did u fix it?
Skip the ext4 part do all of the odin part of the tutorial
seemed to fix it for me.. time will tell if the fix sticks, thanks guys
edit: yeah I odined debloated/deodexed EB01, let it do its own data wipe on booting then powered off. I then odined CWR, booted straight into it, did the usual data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed ComRom 2.0 and let it boot. I then booted into recovery and flashed the 2.1 patch right over it with no wipe. I let it boot up and presto!! no problems after 2 days, it even keeps data after reboots!! problem solved for me

It's been awhile since I odin and don't want to mess up...I also have a CWM backup of Bionix 1.3.1 before testing ICS. I need GPS working more reliably and not have to reboot every time just to get ICS GPS working again so thinking of going back to Froyo.
So...what are the proper steps to revert back to Froyo from ICS? Thanx.
Hmm,
i don´t have any problems with gps and ics.
Maybe you just have some wrong settings?
Odin to 2.1
Install CWR (link in my sig)-put it as update.zip on your internal, boot into recovery, hit "Reinstall Packages" it will cycle, hit "Reinstall Packages" again and your recovery will go from Stock (blue) to CWR (green).
Scroll to "Install from SD" and find Bionix 1.3.1 zip (needs to be the raw ROM). Hit ok let it run and boot up.
Boot back into recovery and restore your nandroid.
Don't forget to wipe when neccessary.
Your GPS can still work within accuracy of 20 ft even after more than 20 min of deep sleep? If so please share what setting you are using and rom and kennel version.

Thanks for your guide, have a question. Seems easy just to change cwm version to go back and flash froyo, so if I've gone through all the trouble to get to ics including gb bootloaders etc.,does it mean that if I want to go back to ics then I just need to follow the same simple process by flashing a newer cwm version?
You would need to Odin back to 2.1 if you want to go to Froyo bc CM7 and ICS use mtd as their system format while Eclair and Froyo use RFS or Ext4(voodoo). It isn't about CWR but rather the system format.
