I'd definitely go back to JFD...

no bugs, fast, smooth. Just the ticket for Froyo goodness.
Do a clean flash to stock first.

And only restore User Apps. Some JK2 system data doesn't play nice with JK6 system data.
Axura is very smooth.

i dont believe you can. i think you can use voodoo lag fix.
Thank you I'll try that

Let me know how that goes. I've read too many horror stories about voodoo. Make sure you move any apps on your sd card to your phone. Some apps like angry birds install to your sd card by default on froyo roms.

I'm running Axura 2.0.5 with eugene's kernel 805 and oclf. Run's good.

You can run OCLF just fine ... make sure you run 'Restore Bootanimation' before you click on Lagfix v2

You are the person that had trouble with it on the Axura thread?
It does work, or I wouldn't have included it in the extras. You need to flash the file via Clockwork.

Are you talking about Voodoo lag fix or OCLF?

Should I do a full factory wipe? Freezing and black screen issues!

Ok, so I have been having some major freezing and getting stuck on a black screen issues. Currently have Rooted 2.1 Stock Rom with JI6 update and OCLF V.2 installed on my Vibrant. Thinking about doing a full factory reset and also wiping the 16gb internal memory too. Then reinstalling everything from scratch. Will that make any difference? Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Oh yea also locks up on the Gallery and other Apps some times. Then nothing responds then have to take the battery off to fix it!also using Launcher Pro Plus as my Launcher!

Try this...
If you have ROM manager, try using the fix permissions option. Seemed to work for me after I flashed Bionix. I'm not sure if you're overclocked or not either. If so, you may need to check your scaling settings. Not sure if these work for you, I'm still in noob status, just trying to pick things up along the way. Would hate to get flamed for asking a question......
Just using Stock Rom not a custom Rom. Think I might just undo everything and start fresh. Just wish I could find a working download link for the TMobile unofficial Froyo Rom. But not having any luck since it was removed by the xda. devs!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Even with a stock ROM, you might want to tryr fixing permissions, seemed to work for me when I was rooted with a stock ROM....just a thought.
^^ please see the noob guide in my siganture... the ALT METHOD is exactly what you are looking for.

Ok just did that. Seems a little faster but the Market seems to take longer to load and also it changed my font style for some reason? Will test it out I guess

Why FROYO?

Hey folks. I' ve been sitting on the fence trying to decide about flashing my phone with NeroV3. The question I have is does it make all that difference? Is the phone noticeably faster? What are changes? Any feedback in this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Just the change from the RFS filesystem to EXT4 with voodoo is significantly faster
Just be careful when you flash a overclocked kernel, most vibrants will freeze.
Be sure you know how to disable vodoo and odin back to stock.
The JL5 Leak from Samsung is faster without any other fixes.
I'm coming from stock. The only real thing I have is root with root apps. Ive already removed OCLF. I recently updated the wifes phone with NAND Desire Sense from windows 6.5 on her HD2, other than that I have no experience. Is the move really worth it? What's different? Internet experience? You guys are awesome!

I am using neriv3twe/with voodoo and im very happy with it only downfall I've found is you can't buy apparently off the market....keep getting a "server error occurred" window...but other than that I love it

Correction on my last post Nerov3TWEwith voodoo
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The buy error is not the rom. It has been working perfectly for me, zero issues. Additionally, froyo offers better gps performance over j 16 with its modems and many other performance enhancements. The voice recognition seems to be working better and jit compiling offers a slight increase in performance over eclair.
if it will be your first time flashing you can try without voodoo because custom roms itself will blow you away.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Blow me away? Nice! With voodoo, wouldn't I still want that or is the lag "fixed" with the Nero ROM. Also, does any of this conflict with the media hub?

Yes if you do flash a custom rom you will really notice a big difference in performance speed. Nero Rom have a built in voodoo you just have to enable it.
Does the Nero conflict with media hub? Also, I assume it has flash 2.2.? Is the only difference that Nero provides is speed? What is different for the UI? I could really do without touchwiz. You guys are awesome! Thanks!

Nero V3 installed and running great! Does not conflict with media hub!

nerov4.1 is out
If u don't want to do voodoo or one click lag fix, u could always just flash the super io kernal from eugene. Its not as fast at ext2 or voodoo but its a good alternative

Stock JL5 is what I would recommend. If you do not like the touchwiz launcher you can replace it with a barrage of different launchers from the market.

[Q]Keyboard?

I'm using Axura's latest version. Which keyboard works with Axura?
Probably all? Lol
Better keyboard works fine. But the stock 2.3 keyboard is the best.

I don't have Stock. How do i get stock? I upgraded from a previous version on Axura. My MTM Gingerbread one doesn't even work. I tried to install, it would return back as error.

I can't remember where exactly its at, but if you look in the themes and apps section you will see a 2.3 gingerbread keyboard thread. Just download your color choice and flash through CWM.

Avatar no play issue

I tried to play avatar few days ago after flashing bionic v 1.3 and I got the unlock pop up. Tried the unlock button and after that didn't work I went to the forums and xda.
I read in the bionix v topic that 1.3.1 has the fix.
I just flashed 1.3.1 and still no joy on avatar. After the flash I got "can not play " statement. Goggled avatar no play vibrant and got the clear drm cache threads.
I go to the drm cache through app manager but the clear cache button is disabled and manager shows 0.0 in the cache.
What am I missing here? are there permissions not correct some where in my phone?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
The kernal that comes with 1.3 is customized and will not play avatar if you want to stay with 1.3 i suggest you go to team whiskeys site and register for forums. In forums near top of page look for shortys files download kb1+voodoo kernal and flash it w/clockwork mod than you can watch avatar.
The reason im sending you to tw site is the search here is very confusing and i dont know where exactly to send you to on xda for this file but i can also say if you want you can also download the overstock kernal and just flash back and forth at your liesure...it only takes about 30 seconds to flash

Re: kb1 + voodoo kernal
Just flashed that kernal and Avatar still doesn't play. Rebooted and still no good. I guess if I flashed v1.3.1 it might work but v1.3 is just too awesome to ditch now.
