Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.
I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.
I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.
Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?
Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.
I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.
Thanks
EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.

The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.

Im telling you!, its less the hassle and way easier to do it through Clockwork Mod

Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.
Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.
Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.
thanks guys. just flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM without any hiccups for the first time
Now need to restore apps and settings
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?

Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.
Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)
Yes i was on 2.1. I read your post after i had started restoring all apps and data. i turned off my phone when i read this post. how can i get my data stored if not settings?

You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.
But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
Two things from my experience.
1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.
Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.
2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.
Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.
You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.
Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).
Hello guys, first I will like to thank all of you for supporting the forum and for helping me a lot. I been trying by far do the list below and I cant get it to work correctly in more then 20 attempts and Im afraid I will totally brick my vibrant.
Done Procedures;
I have ROOTed the Phone
BackUp all my files using Titanium
Flashed ClockWorkMod with Rom Manager
Flashed with ROM Bionix V 1.3.1
Delete Cache and Dalvik...
Rebooted system
At that point everything is good but once I install a kernel I start having problems with the SD recognition by PC and Installing or un-installing apps to device
Any tips or step by step how should do to install Bionix 1.3.1 with kernel Tigers Blood with Voodoo sound and colors without a problem?
or maybe to install Axura with out been so lagging.
Any reason for not testing Trigger, with OverStock 2.2?
Try trigger, or a 2.2.1 port. Pne of those may work faster.

I will try this mate and report back. I just did an back up and now lets just see how this setup does it for me. All I want is a good theme ROM, fast and stable, Honestly I loved the Axura ROM but is to lagging for me for some reason.
Bionix is great but I have the same problem with all the roms I install. When the USB is not detected then is the apps cant be install or un-install.
Will try this one as I havent yet and besides it gives me more experience nothing to loose.
Thanks mate
Feel free to shoot me a pm if needed. Just be sure you've read the noob guide.

OMG here we go again, I think Im doing something wrong. I have the same issue as the more same I do like the How to's state I have the problem with installing and un-installing soft. When i even try to restore my back up for apps from Titanium it wont let me since all the apps stay like computing. I think is something wrong with the apps system or something.
I havent flashed yet the kernel.
I will try to install the ROM again
Not to sound rude, but did you follow the instructions in the noob guide on the proper way to backup, flash and restore?
Perhaps you should just ODIN back to stock and start over if you have.
Let me know if I can help, try and be detailed in your posts though... that last one, I really have no clue what you were trying to say.
Odin root cwm flash...... I hope your only flashing one thing at a time... Not rom+kernel+theme+ boot animation or somthing wildly stupid

I really love this ROM looks great and very smooth. I will use ODIN and go back to stock then I will root and then will flash with CWM and comeback here for some tips. I want to get this right for the first time at least.
TY so much mate
Ok, Im done, I have installed the ROM and let it sit for 10 mins at least then rebooted. What step should I do now to flash a kernel like Tiger blood or OverStock.
Or what will be the next step other then configuring the login for google?

I did used the ODIN to Stock Flash my phone and then one out a time after reboot ect...
you may want to stay stock trigger for awhile and test it out.
when ready, download overstock 2.2, move it to sdcard/, reboot to CWR, install from zip (like a rom), after you flash it, reboot.... you'll notice a new splash screen for overstock, all done.

Ok, I have seen enough of this. lol I so sad to see how easy this is but frustrated when I get problems like the one I still have. Everything was great until I started installing the apps from the Titanium back up i made. It did installed about 15 apps but after those been installed successfully it just got stocked loading and it wont install any more apps or even un-install. Cant even install apps from the market.
What is wrong with this thing, is very stressful try and try and get the same result on 4 different ROMS I have tested already. I really hate to ask for help as I like to read and try it for myself so I can about a new hobby.
But this one is biting my hand very hard. Can you please tell me ehat can I do in this case mate to trouble shoot this?
Thank you for your time friend
Something I have done a bit different is that I have put the files in separate folders for more organize.
Like for sample; at sd_root/ I have a folder name Download which it have sub-folders that look like this tree below
Download
//
-Kernels/
-Metamorhp Mods/
-Misc Mods/Apps
-Modems
-Mods
-Roms
-Themes
Do you think that will be a problem by not having the Files at the root location at SD?
When you are restoring your titanium back ups, are you only restoring apps? I mean, are you restoring system data too? You don't want to restore system data, and only restore apps. Sometimes restoring system data from previous roms can cause problems.
If this still doesn't help, you might just want to redownload all your apps, and then make a backup. Sounds like your issue is linked to titanium back up.

That makes sence!! I will load the ROM again and start over and see how it goes installing just the apps. I was restoring the apps and data
If it doenst help I will continue your suggestion to install the apps one by one NOT from the Titanium as it was back up from a different ROM.
thanks i will let know how it goes.
stay away from restoring system data when flashing roms. Just the apps with the app data. Hope this helps man. If not, let's go over the entire order of what you are doing and we will figure out what is going on.

Ok here goes to nothing. I have dont everything correctly like the Guide's stating and everything works great at first but them it just stop working the whole file system apparently. Is just works great and after few app installs it just fail. When I go to check the files from the File management it just say Computing instead of loading and give the file size info ect....
What can it be I dont have a clue as I have search the whole forum and I dont see this problem posted by any other. Its just wont install, un-install or even cant stop any app from working.
What else can i do?
When backing up with Titanium, its okay to back up user apps and their data. As far as system data, Titanium has it sorted by what is and isn't safe to restore. Green entries are all good, don't back up any entries with red text.
This is how I've been backing up stuff since before 2.2 dropped, and I've never run into any strange issues.
Just a shot in the dark, but it might be a bad sd card, or just needing a format. Try backing up all your sd files on your computer, and format your sd card and see if that helps. I had some funky stuff going on with my phone, and it went away after I did that.
I Need to wipe EVERYTHING from my phone and start fresh. I have been a flashoholic and now I am seeing weird things happening with my phone. I have flashed system, kernel and PIT with Odin back to original 2.2 release, wiped everything off my SD card, but I am still seeing weird things happen. For instance, wallpaper that was on my SD card randomly shows up on my phone, and it will change to other wallpapers randomly. My contacts from facebook, keep showing up, even after I delete them. I am getting random force closes on Facebook, launcher pro, BLN and titanium backup. I can delete these programs, reinstall them and they seem to work, until I reboot the phone.
So how do i completely wipe ALL from my phone, and start over so I don't see these things happening?
Could it be something to do with voodoo/non voodoo? I think I odin'd back to stock without converting voodoo back, but can't put a finger on it, if that was the cause.
I was looking to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 and was wondering if that may help.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
anyone have any ideas? I'm dying here.
Here
That was the first thing I tried, but I am still having issues. The random wallpaper is really confusing to me. It's like there is still some data somewhere that I can't seem to wipe. Could it have anything to do with me doing the above from voodoo and not disabling lag fix?
I used ODIN to go back to DI01, did ota to EA28, then did the ota to ED01. Shut off phone, pulled battery, ODIN cwm-recovery-all.tar, booted phone straight to recovery, flashed Adrynalyne's superuser package (includes busybox), then flashed the EC10 kernel. Phone is working great.

This may be a silly question, but when you are loading a ROM, are you reinstalling apps from Titanium, or from the market?
When the ROM is reinstalled ull restore the Apps from titanium pro or u can also re download them like normal

When ever my phone's screen is off, aka when I'm sleeping, it will automatically go back to the original Samsung launcher, instead of Go Launcher, which is what I have installed and defaulted. Sometimes it goes back to stock launcher when my phone is sitting around for a few minutes, doesnt have to be overnight. When I make the transition from stock launcher to Go Launcher, I get "Problem loading widgets" Pretty annoying.
Second, some apps stop working and disappear (from the notification bar). Specifically Lookout Security, Juice Defender, WidgetLocker (goes back to stock locker) and BatteryBar notification battery icon. I'm not sure whats going on, I have no ROM flashed, the only thing I have added since my root have been: AdFree, SuperUser, Titanium Backup, and Screenshot it. I have no idea what do do now, thanks.

Not sure what its happening, but one thing you can try is freezing all the launchers you are not using titanium backup and leaving only one that you want to use. That will keep the launcher from changing when you don't want.
But take caution, don't freeze all the launchers - make sure one is still available, or you will get a soft brick that you will have to either re flash or restore a nandroid backup.

#1: When the phone gives you the option to choose a launcher
as default there is a little checkbox on the bottom which you can
checkmark before selecting your preferred default launcher so it will
not ask you everytime you go to the home screen or restart the phone.
#2: In order to SAVE any settings you make while using Go Launcher
you need to open the settings for Go Launcher and scroll down until
you see "save" and "restore".
After making any changes to anything in Go Launcher use the save
settings in go launcher.
#3: Problem loading widgets after reboot is a commonly known issue
in many launchers. The stock Touchwiz 4 launcher does not have this problem.
The only time you will see this problem is when you reboot the phone
or if you power off the phone and restart it.
If you do not select and save as default the launcher of your choice
it may not startup with whatever customizations and additions you
have made to it.
P.S. these problems you are experiencing have nothing to do with rooting the phone.
Good Luck!

Can you tell me what the name of the stock Samsung launcher is in Titanium?
Go Launcher is my default, its always been this way too. By the way, I just plugged my phone in to drag and drop a file and after I disconnected the USB via the notification bar option, the phone restarted on its own and went to the stock Samsung launcher, giving me the widget problem again. I pressed the home button and it gives me the option to choose my default launcher, which is Go Launcher, which I've selected 20 times already. This happened after I rooted so I assumed that was the problem.
Thanks alot though guys.
Quick edit: This whole default home screen problem happens when I reboot my phone, I just tried it a few times and that seems to be it

What rom are you using? If it's the stock or stock rooted 2.3.4 i777 SGS2
rom then your default launcher which came with the rom is Touchwiz 4.
If you installed/flashed some custom rom then your launcher is possibly something
other than Touchwiz 4 but either way the STOCK launcher for i777 is Touchwiz 4.
Either way your best bet would be to flash the "UnNamed 1.0.4" custom rom.
It has the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher. If you like Go Launcher better
you can download and install from the market. It's a free app.
After you do this, just re-read my previous reply if you still have
any problems. (which I doubt).
The UnNamed rom is currently the best custom rom available for our
phones. It can be downloaded here: update-unnamed-v1.0.4-full.zip
After you flash this rom I bet your problems will magically disappear.
I have no ROM flashed currently, just rooted applications.
Very tempting, however I'm new to this whole rooting and flashing process, I definitely don't want to brick my phone. So, do I flash this ROM via Rom Manager? Where do I put this UnNamed file?

If your phone is properly rooted, flash the UnNamed rom using
CWM Recovery.
The easiest way to get to CWM Recovery is to go to the market
and download a free app called "reboot recovery".
After it's installed, you will be able to go to CWM Recovery
with one click.
You can find this "Reboot Recovery" app here: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/reboot-recovery_vusz.html
First download the UnNamed rom and copy it to your sdcard
(don't put it into any folder)
Then when you are in CWM Recovery select "install zip from sdcard".
Then select the UnNamed rom file you copied to your sdcard.
Once it's selected (highlighted) press the HOME key in cwm recovery.
After it's done flashing select "Reboot system" in CWM Recovery.
That's all there is to it.. The whole process after downloading
the new custom rom is less than 5 minutes.
Good luck!
You guys are extremely helpful, I gave a thanks to every post in here. So before I flash this ROM, do I need to backup what I currently have? I typically back up with Titanium.
Im currently downloading the ROM.

Yes, it's a good idea to backup the existing rom.
Sorry I forgot to mention it.
You cannot backup a rom with titanium.
Use CWM Recovery to backup the rom.
It's just as easy to backup or restore a rom in
CWM Recovery than it is to flash a new custom rom.
CWM has a option in the menu which says:
"Backup/Restore".
Titanium backup only backs up APPS and
the cooresponding data and system files.
(not roms).
Good Luck!
Sounds good, I just backed up via CWM and I'm still waiting for the ROM to download. Thanks for taking me through this whole process by the way

Meanwhile, where can I view what this UnNamed ROM features?

Another thing I forgot to mention is that after you have flashed the UnNamed
rom if you want to use the Titanium Backup to restore your apps, never
select "Restore All Apps and System Data".
If you do it will cause a lot of problems and force closes (fc's).
The way to restore apps with Titanium Backup when using custom
roms is to select "restore missing apps with data" only.

Okay, I just flashed the ROM and all of my apps are still there, are you saying that when I flash a new ROM my apps should not be there, and that I have to restore them via Titanium Backup?
Well, I did another reboot and Im having the same problems as before.
Also, everytime I disconnect USB mass storage my phone automatically re-boots. Only after a root did this happen...
Touch wiz launcher is TwLauncher

Go back into cwm recovery and do a fresh/clean flash of the UnNamed
rom by selecting "wipe data/factory reset" in cwm recovery then go
ahead and select "install zip from sdcard" like you already have.
Then before you either restore apps or install apps check out the rom.
It will not have any problem at all and it will only have the
Touchwiz 4 launcher which it comes with.
After that if by restoring or installing go launcher you start having
problems, either stick with Touchwiz 4 launcher or choose a different
launcher (not go launcher) there are dozens of launchers in the
android market to choose from and 99% of em are free.
Best bet though... stick with Touchwiz 4. (my opinion only).
You might want to either install or restore one app at a time
and see which one is perhaps causing your problem too.
Some apps are just not 100% compatible with either the
phone itself, or with certain launchers.

It makes no difference how you rooted the phone
because all these new custom roms are pre-rooted.
So whatever you did to root the phone does not matter.
These custom roms over-write any existing rooting.
Be sure that when you are not using usb storage
that you go into settings and enable "USB debugging".
Still having these problems, I went ahead and Unrooted my phone. Ill try this whole process at another time. Bookmarking this thread and thanked you again.
See you soon
