Okay I rooted my phone with the one click root. I saw it installed busybox, have no idea what that is. Now I wanna install supercurio's ka6 build with voodoo, so my phone doesnt lag. What are the proper steps to load it.

wow! there should be a tutorial somewhere here, try the stickies. Basically your first step is to get rom manager from the market, open it then click on Flash Clockwork mod then pick vibrant. Next step is to pick a rom of your choice, I would try Bionix 1.2.1., d/l the zip file and transfer it to your internal sd card (do not extract). After thats done open rom manager again click on reboot into recovery. If the recovery is not in green letters choose install packages. When you have the green recovery choose back up and restore then back up. after thats done next choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card, then click on the zip file, then scroll down to install, let it do its thing and reboot. If you want to back up your apps then get the paid version of Titanium back up or don't. Good luck!

been searching last 2 hours to no avail..
I appreciate any feedback cause I cant seen to get this.
Started with stock rom, un-rooted.
Installed rom manager per bionix instructions..
Downloaded bionix191_stock.zip
Saved to root sd card.
Selected "Install rom from sd card"
Informed me to unroot.
installed ryanZA's oclf from the market to root.
Re-ran rom manager.
Selected again "Install rom from sd card"
Selected wipe data and cache
Reboot process begins.
stops at "update.zip (bad) error.
What am I doing wrong?
try redownloading it.
Thanks for the reply...
I already tried downloading the zip again.
The zip file matches the proper size from
The link as stated on the install info...
I have the copy on my sd card in the root folder
as well as my download folder.
do I have to do something in the OCLF app?
try rooting withouth OCLF, using a normal update.zip
also, did you rename the bionix file?
I didn't know I had to rename the zip.
What do I rename it to?
The rom manager wouldn't run without a root,
so I had to use oclf first...
do I have to odin back to stock to install bionix?
no, dont rename it. this is what I did.
1. Odin to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
2. install the update.zip from stock recovery
3. use market to download ROM manager
4. use ROM manager to reboot into recovery (do not use install rom from SD card)
5. you may need to use stock recovery to reinstall packages
6. in clockwork, install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard
8. choose your bionix version
9. install
10. reboot twice
thx Brian, worked perfectly. You are a friend an a scholar!
I installed Bionix 1.9.1 Voodoo (OC/UV/Voodoo Kernel)
Benchmarked at 1878
installed OCLF right after..but the 2.1 & 2.2 lagfixes are unavailable...
Trying to fig out how to install OCLF on top of voodoo?
You don't use both the OCLF and Voodoo at the same. Voodoo requires a bit more reading comprehension and user ability than OCLF. For people that want a LagFix without the hassle of Disabling/Enabling Voodoo every time you reflash; OCLF is for you.
I'm on Bionix 1.9.1 with JACs OC/UV Kernel and no Voodoo (don't really feel the need) and I used OCLF to root way back when I had stock TWiz.
Glad you got it working and from here on out if you flash any of the prominent ROMs available you don't have to revert to stock as most of them wipe clean as part of their script. Just boot into ClockWork recovery, install zip from SD and find whichever ROM you want.
Oh and always nandroid before flashing a new ROM and use Titanium Backup to back up your apps and such.
I actually do not use the voodoo lagfix, because you have to disable it every time you want to flash something. I have had to repartition my phone so many times because of it I finally just stopped using it. Bionix is so fast I don't really see a need for the lagfix anyway.

I second this post. Bionix is fast enough comming from Stock. I do not think I need the lag fix.
Fusion is even better now!!!
Sorry if this has been answered (I know its frowned upon), but I'm a bit pressed for time. I installed Voodoo V3 a little while back on JFD, but disabled it for JI6 using the 'disable lagfix' file in Voodoo folder method.
Last night, I flashed Obsidian v3 with VooDoo, but the new version will not install (I'm assuming that Voodoo was not completely uninstalled), and I can't use any of the OCLF methods pre-installed with the ROM (says: You already appear to have another lag fix intalled! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5kb).
I am still running Obsidian v3.
I'd appreciate the help and a walkthrough if possible!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
Try to flash sombionix voodoo disable.zip file into clockwork recovery. You should hear voice now converting to rfs. Once done, and it boots up. Go back to clockworkmod, flash another rom without voodoo. Than you should be okay from there on.

Flashing the disable_lagfix.zip simply places a disable lagfix file in the voodoo directory (i think). I had that done before I flashed JI6 and obsidian...and the issue never went away.
Look in files folder, you see anything labeled voodoo?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Create disable-voodoo empty text file but save as disable-voodoo file and place it in your voodoo folder and reboot. See what happens.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
at the root of my internal SD is the Voodoo folder. Within it is a folder labeled logs, and also the disable_lagfix file i put in there to disable it. However, if i delete this folder, Voodoo will reinstall itself automatically when i reboot.
when i place the disable_lagfix file within that directory...it disables Voodoo, but does not completely rid the system of it. When I installed Obsidian v3 with Voodoo, it did not install the new version of VooDoo because the old one still existed. Also, OCLF also will not install and i think its also because of this.
Try pushing the disable voodoo via adb.

Or try to to do a factory restore first from clockwork. See what hapoens. I had that same issue too while back.

Swing by the project-voodoo dot org site and go to documentation (i would give you a link if i could post one but...). Follow the first set of instructions on there and you'll get voodoo out in no time. Now, I'm not entirely sure if the vibrant devs accept this as the proper method of removal for our phones but I just tried this a couple of nights ago to get Soniqu3's theme on Onyx R4. Hope this helps.
Use terminal emulator and type mount. If it says data/ rfs in there, voodoo is disabled. Are you using the oclf included in the rom? Sombionix said the one in the market will not work.
Last option for you. Do this...

Its the same thing oclf does, just not one click.

hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something

Please put your questions to: Vibrant Q&A
I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.
Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.

I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.

Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip
Remove the old one before doing this.
Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it

Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.

Every time I flash bionix-v all my phone does is hard reset. Now I'm sure its my fault. So I'm asking for help to find where that fault is. I'm following team whiskeys install instructions. But what I'm getting is sd card can't be opened or file doesn't exist. I've tried placing the file in numerous locations. But no luck. So at this point I'm begging for help! Please.

Be careful if this is your first Voodoo flash....it comes with it enabled. If you go back to a version without voodoo make sure you go into CWM (red recovery) and go to advanced and voodoo lagfix and disable it first.
Oh and let it convert and reboot completely on its own when installing..you will hear Linda talking..
Same damn thing...no joy.
No lagfix nothin just odin back to jfd...wanted a clean slate for bionix

FYI it can be in a folder...I flashed everything like this from day 1. You should use md5 checksums to verify your download when they are provided though. It will verify bad downloads that could potentially hard brick your phone.
