complete noob. just started yesterday
I have odin installed on my computer but I plan on only using it if I brick the phone. been using rom manager and have so far tried nero beta 3 and then nero v1 and currently downloading nero v2. Is there any advantages to using odin rather than rom manager? rom manager is just so easy it's spoiled me.
also I'm downloading nero v2 right now and this version is with voodoo. the devs said a non voodoo version will be available but that voodoo is faster. why would you not want voodoo than? what are the disadvantages of voodoo? what is voodoo?
can nero 2 voodoo be installed with rom manager?
U can find all this out in the bible, which I suggest reading, but yes u can flash nero v2 with rom manager

No it won't. As long as you're not running voodoo, you're good to go. Flash away!!! Might I recommend flashing Onyx 4, it's absolutely amazing
Hi, I flashed Nero V1 last night and flashed Super I/O kernel just now. But I want to try out Supercurio's JL4 + Voodoo kernel. How do I switch? Do I just flash it on top?
Also, since Nero V1 is JL1, would it be a better idea to flash the JL1 + Voodoo instead of JL4 + Voodoo kernel?
Good question

As long as u havent installed a lag fix u can flash them over the old one

As long as you don't have voodoo installed you can *usually* flash a new kernel over any old one as long as their version compatible (2.2 kernel with 2.2 rom) but go for it.
So I started out with 2.1 stock on my vibrant, and used clockwork mod recovery to flash nero v3 w/ voodoo, before doing this I created a backup in rom manager of my entire system while still on 2.1, if I wanted to return to 2.1 I would just disable lagfix and restore backup in rom manager right?

First one question.....Why would u ever want to go back to 2.1?
I usually just skip ROM manager all together and go directly into CWR. Then select Back up and Restore then scroll down to Restore option. Then select what u want to retore. Its pretty self explanatory once u get into CWR.

You will need to flash your 2.1 kernel as well as a nandroid backup doesn't backup the kernel.
Nero V3 w/ Voodoo is super duper silky smooth. I would never think about flashing back to 2.1 nanadroid from it. I forgot about the kernal.
Ya, I don't want to, but eventually, lol, when official 2.2 comes out, I wanna get that, so even if I just rooted, then used rom manager to flash nero, my kernel is now permanently changed? How would I change that back if it wasn't saved in rom managers backup?

why use your backup, why not just odin back to jfd?

Lot of people answering your question with another question.
Sano said it right...you're fine to restore your backup AS LONG AS you also flash a 2.1 kernel separately since nandroid doesn't back up the kernel.
So how do I flash kernels?

Same way you flash a rom with clockwork.
Where do you get a stock firmware

Just flashing nero v3 rom changed my kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 running nero v3 in XDA app
Yes cause the kernel are different in 2.1 and 2.2, which Nero is. U have to flash a 2.1 kernel if u want to use that nandroid.

So would you flash the 2.1 kernel before or after downgrading, also where would I get a stock 2.1 kernel

First get the kernel from the bible put it on your phone . Once you have the cwm flashable kernel just nandroid back then before rebooting flash the kernel .

I have my phone running axura 2.1, my baseband is t959uvjk6, 2.2 firmware, and kernel version 2.6.32.9. I tried twice to install Voodoo Lagfix using the Update.zip method and after reboot i hear the voice saying compelete but the phone just stays on the 'Samsung Vibrant' screen.
What am i doing wrong ?
Which voodoo are you using? I hope its not jac's oc/uv one from a few months ago. Thats a 2.1 kernel and will never work on a 2.2 rom. Make sure you use one of the ones in supercurios thread for voodoo 5.x

@OP
that will really take some time. how many minutes did you wait? and yeah you should look at supercurio's thread
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This happened to me using the one from oclf. My solution was to wipe phone and install nero v3. That worked out. Check out supercurios voodoo thread.

Download kernel + voodoo from supercurio. The thread is here in the dev section or bible.

It was voodoo beta4 I believe.. But I like axura and would love voodoo lag fix.. So what should I install and how?
As of right now I'm running a Axura 2.2.something and i want to move on to Bionix official 2.2. My question is should I odin back to stock then move to bionix or can i just flash to Bionix
Help is appreciated

You can just flash. Do a data wipe, the op for the rom tells you all the instructions

but best beat u can do is yes wipe with stock and odin, format sd, and reflash with w.e your choice is, my 0.5$
I used rom manager and I just flashed bionix from axura. It is running well and a lot better than I expected

The general consensus is that Bionix V flashes well on top of other roms. Official TeamWhiskey forums say that you do not need to disable voodoo if coming from one of their previous roms, but you may want to disable it if you're coming from Axura or the like just to be safe.
