Why FROYO? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Flashing through red recovery? For overstock

So I recently updated from original bionix v to bionix v 1.3.1, using eugene's dead horse 221.
My battery life if pretty good, but I wanna try overstock, and it says to flash through red recovery, but dead horse has a green recovery...
I don't wanna lose my apps again, so how do I go about this without losing apps?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You have to install a stock + voodoo kernel. You wont lose any apps. Titanium backup is awesome for backing up your apps before flashing.
And that's flashable through green recovery? Also, I won't lose sd contents, will I?

The best bet is to undo any lag fix you are using and then flash. If you do that you should be fine.
Okay, I'm not on any lagfix, on rfs right now, but it's still a green recovery...is that okay?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I just flashed to overstock yesterday using CWM, was reading the posts about the red recovery thing. and they were saying meant that if your recovery screen was red you had voodoo lag fix on. i think one guy was having issues because he didnt have the voodoo lag fix on, his recovery screen was blue or green (sorry cant recall).
overstock runs pretty nice on my stock 2.2 KA6. my quadrant have all been about 1500+ with out any overclocking. i got it for the voodoo sound, had the voodoo lag fix previously.
Phi is incorrect..you can have a red recovery without voodoo enabled. OP you need to flash the kb1 stock + voodoo kernal from supercurios thread and then you can flash overstock. Your choice if you want to use voodoo though.

Just did it. I'm on voodoo now...does it really make a difference? Cause I just want better battery life...and I'm also noticing some interference on my screen since installing overstock....it's random though

Phantom lagfix?

Wondering if simply unrooting will remove lag fixes? I rooted 2.2 using SuperOneClick and applied OCLF... Removed OCLF shortly after, but now it is showing I have lag fix installed.. Not sure where it came from. Not sure how to remove it. Can't remove via OCLF.
Stock 2.2... Nothing fancy.

why do you want to get rid of the lag fix? Can't you disable it in cwm?
No it will not remove it by doing super user. Plus I'd leave being rooted and ext4 on. Why do you want to remove it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Well, its not the lagfix itself im concerned about as much as I am
with which lagfix... I just dont know what it is or how it got there. Is there a way I can find that out? Does it even matter? I just thought it was strange.

Ginger crust V1.3 - your thoughts on it.

Just thought id put my 2 cents in and say I've flashed every Rom on my p500 and gingercrust V1.3 has to be one of my favourite roms to date.Added the patch with no problems.It's basic fast and has everything you need. I've flashed the latest goldleaf and the battery is real good, well I'm happy.
Thanks for an awesome Rom and look forward for further updates keep up the good work team.
I've heard good things about it, but I have yet to use it...I'm not to sure if s2e would work with it, than again it does have cm7 framework

1st:thank you for opening this thread.
2nd:this is the second day with this rom and so far so good.But I have 2 problems : I can't find out how to change the ringtone and i can't update su binary.
Other than that,it's good.
Glad you like it.
The su binary, you can update it by update superuser on the market.The ringtone can be changed as usual, there is not any prblem with it.
It's also one of my favourite Rom. Faster than any other Rom.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Try it you will not regret it. I did replace the ring tones with dex ICS tones using root exploring I like that radiation tone sounds kool. Should I run a app killer with it? I do find after a days use it dose start to slow a little so I just do a fresh boot and she's good for aother day, but saying I find this with a lot of roms I've flashed.
This rom best smooth, saving the battery good in the rom that I ever used
you are a fan of this rom^^
SR...MY ENGLISH SO BAD
ok, satisfied with his performance of it, I was a fan of it

i have a question..
if i flash another ROM, other than a full Titanium Backup, can i backup all my userdata and apps using clockwork mod??
if yes then how?

OK I'm rooted but kinda don't want to put a rom any other suggestions?

I'm scared to mess up my player somehow when I put a room on it. So any alternate things I can do to improve it with out a rom??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Improve in what way? You can install a custom kernel on it to boost performance a bit. You can also get some root apps from the play store like no frils cpu tuner. If talking about look of the UI you can also get another launcher. Adw, launcher pro, and holo launcher seem to work the best on stock rom.

I already have a launcher on it more so looking for as to improve it. Will a kernel make a big difference??

In my opinion it does. I was like you and didn't want to install a custom rom at all. I installed just the kernel and it did increase my battery life by a good margin. Most kernels increase your max clock speed to 1.2ghz, and give you the option to set a governor that manages your clock speeds better than stock, which also helps with performance. Also you sometimes get the option to undervolt, and that does help with battery life. I forgot to mention that when you use a custom kernel you get the ability to make nandroid backups with CWM (and it's the easiest way to get CWM on our players)
But just like Unhived__Mind said adding a custom rom vastly increase the abilities our galaxy player has lol.
