Voodoo where it's at bro. One click lag fix only gives good quadrant score ,voodoo makes your phone feel lag-less but has a little smaller quadrant + amplifys the headphone Jack. It's your decision.

You need root to get any lagfix. If your on the stock OTA 2.2 you need to odin back to stock, re root and then flash a voodoo kernel.

First you need to install rom manager from the market. The free one will suffice. Then open it and flash clockwork recovery. Next find the voodoo kernel thread by supercurio in the development section. Pick your kernel id go with the one closest to your baseband. Download and place on the internal sd card. The using rom manager reboot into recovery. If that takes you to the blue recovery then click on reinstall packages. You may have to click that twice. You should end up at a green recovery menu. Select install zip from sd card then select choose zip. Then scroll down and find the kernel and click it. It will ask if your sure. Select yes. After a bit another menu will show up. Select go back then reboot system. Wait till its done. It will take 10 minutes or so. A robotic female voice will let you k ow when its done.

My problem is similar to yours godfathermzq. I am new to all this and I was scared that I will brick my phone while installing unofficial froyo 2.2. So I waited loooong enough and now I have installed the official froyo 2.2 from samsung’s website.
My phone is slow and I want to get a lag fix. I am using Samsung Vibrant (love it) and I don’t even have tons of app running. I have Launcher Pro + Fancy Widget + few apps.
I have few set of questions and would really appreciate some help.
1. Did anyone try Greggory’s method? Were you successful?
2. Should I try Ryan’s One click lag fix considering there haven’t been any major updates with it since August 2010- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760571
If I brick my phone, if there a way to fix it to run again?
3. Anything possibly I can do to speed up my phone?
4. Any other alternative way I can follow? Please help!
Thank you very much for your input! Your help is really appreciated!
My advice is get Clockwork recovery installed and then flash a custom rom like Bionix or Trigger. Stock is better with 2.2 but it's amazing how much they can optimize the rom.
I've been running Bionix roms for months and they are fantastic. Team Whiskey FTW.
"Greggory's Method" is how just about everyone does this. He laid it out as clear and concise as I've seen it though. Read it again, then read this: the Vibrant Bible and then do it. It’s the only way to get what you guys want.
Yeah it’s a little scary at first but, if you follow each step and don’t rush anything, (Like: do it on a full battery; don’t freak out if a screen in the middle of it seems to be “stuck” for 3 minutes; don’t touch a button for 15-20 minutes after the first reboot - then reboot again) you will be fine. The instructions all start to click once you begin the actual process.
And, yeah, you can mess up your phone. If you’re not down with that, stop here and be happy with the pretty great device you have now. But I agree with Radio, just go right for a new ROM like Bionix v1.3.1 and you will be ready for prime time. I'm telling you guys: the risk is minimal and the payoff is substantial.
I had this same problem when I got my vibrant, then I learned that no matter HOW bad you **** up, ODIN will save your ass almost everytime.
Go to the android dev. section for the vibrant, and follow the noob guide that is stickied. This will help you A TON.

Detailed instrucions on Rooting Froyo 2.2 Vibrant (Vibrant updated from Kies Mini)

So i waited for Verizon to do and OTA update for my Droid Eris beause i didn't want to take the chance of rooting it. However i'm tired of the little lag i get with this phone and i want to overclock it, too bad i need to root it. So i have a few questions.
1. What roms will work my Droid Eris. (I know they're everywhere but some people say they don't work, bugged, etc. Which one is the most dependent)
2. Is there a video guide anywhere that can show me how to root. (Again i know there's guides but i prefer a visual guide if I'm gonna take the risk of bricking my phone)
3. If anyone has overclocked their Droid Eris what is a safe GHZ and what ap works the best with this?
4. I've been reading that i will most likely have to downgrade my Droid Eris to 1.5 stock from 2.1 OTA update. Is there a way to do such a thing. There is a guide but it says something like it doesn't work anymore, unless im reading it wrong.
5. Just a question i've been wondering since recently, When could i be expecting a Froyo Rom if at all.
Yes, i know these are noob questions but i just recently got a Droid Eris and i want to take full advantage of this device. Thank you for your time reading this and Thank you again if you respond nicely and don't call me a noob.
1. Any of the ROMs. Choosing one is a matter of personal preference. The two I've been using lately are EvilEris 3.0 and CyanogenELB 2.5 (ErisLightningBolt). EvilEris is a Sense rom and looks a lot like the standard HTC OS you're used to. CyanogenELB is based off the standard android sources. CyanogenELB takes a little extra work to get it really workable (adding the google apps and installing the MMS fix with for 2.5) but it's pretty darn good.
2.Video: youtube.com/watch?v=_brg2NbBmx8 Can't post links but you can copy and paste. Any guide for 1.5 will work with 2.1 OTA.
3. Overclocking is dependent on your phone. Numerous reports say staying at or below 768MHz is safe for all phones. Just about everyone uses SetCPU which you can find in the Market for pay or on this forum for free.
4. You do NOT have to downgrade to root. Use the same 1.5 procedure to root a 2.1 OTA phone.
5. Read the KaosFroyo thread. It's a work in progress and loads, but doesn't function as a phone. He's busy with work, so kaos will work on it when time allows.
Thank you so much, Just helped me out alot. I really hope this goes well and i don't have that lag anymore(Extremely annoying). Thank you, seriously
So i have EvilEris on my phone now, works great and everything however i want to try the CyanogenELB 2.5 rom but I'm not sure what i have to download from the site...pretty noobish i guess. The thing im trying to say is a the download site he gives theres about 7 files and im not exactly sure what to download. I don't wanna flash the wrong thing and brick my phone. If you could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
dl CyanogenELB2.5.zip, CyanogenELB-GoogleApps-v2.zip, CyanogenELB-MMS-fix.zip, 5MPcamera.zip, and ClearVM.zip.
flash CyanogenELB2.5.zip and then flash CyanogenELB-GoogleApps-v2.zip (do NOT reboot in between those 2 flashes).
then, reboot phone... after you setup (google account, etc), shutdown and then flash the CyanogenELB-MMS-fix.zip, the 5MPcamera.zip, and ClearVM.zip (no need to reboot in between those either). then restart again.
should be good to go from there

MMS doesn't work with the installed SMS app; the dev's notes say "must use Handcent".
Also, I can't get the IME_mod keyboard to do anything but FC ... do you have the same result?
Thanks Tenzo it works and everything but i think im gonna go back to EvilEris since i get a lag every now and then for some reason and sometimes it just reboots on itself. Thanks for the help though
My Vibrant has a Superuser app Icon but my ROM Manager says its not in the file its supposed to be in when i try to set the ROM Manager up.
Need to know how to unroot the root that is not there. Pretty much an noob so sorry for that. Need step by step. Can anyone help?
Try Searching the Market for one click lag fix (or oclf)
it has a built in Root/unroot that is pretty easy and will walk you through it.
Try it out
thanks for the info. got it set up in recovery and installed 2.2 finally its been a quest. am very new to this just wanted what i was supposed to get a while ago. i backed up the rom that is current team whiskey obsidian. how do i fix my power drainage and use the mhz to control that also what is voodoo?
Ok, so I've tried to do my own research and have come up with very little. It took me about a year to figure out what rooting actually meant and did. So I rooted my SGS vibrant and flashed a bionix rom (i think). It says "bionix shut down sequence initiated" or something like that when I turn it off (any ideas on what it is or how I can find out). I really have no idea what version it is. I also would like to put a new rom on my phone but am scared ill screw it up. I watched a youtube video that told me how to do it the first time I flashed anything. It works with a few random screw ups but KILLS my battery. I would really like for someone who knows more than me to explain what a nandroid backup is and how to do one. What the clockwork rom manager can help me do. What the one click lag fix did. Why my computer won't read the storage things on the phone when connected to the phone anymore. What is this odin thing. What is a kernel. will I still get the ota updates without the stock rom. Where did my stock rom go when I pushed backup before I flashed this rom in the rom manager app. Did I actually wipe all the original data from the phone. Why can't I restore boot animation with one click lag fix(it says somethings not found... Did I wipe/delete it?). What is an apk and sdk(or skd)? What is a voodoo lag fix. How many times can you flash beer something goes wrong. I'm really new to ALL of this and have had no help really when I've asked a lot of people who apparently know more than I. ANY help from ANYONE who knows ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Almost all of those questions can be answered by reading the Tips and Tricks or Noob Guide threads. Those two threads have given me all the info I've ever needed for the Vibrant.

Theres a lot of questions in there so I'll just bite off a few at first. Before that, have you taken a look at the vibrant bible thread in the dev forum? It covers a lot of the basic ' how tos '.
Firstly, you can possibly see what version of bionix you are running by looking under settings - about phone - build number. now might be a good time for you to odin back to stock and start fresh. Odin is a program that runs on your pc and can safely install a rom on top of any lag fix you may have enabled. You can read about using odin to go back to stock in the vibrant bible thread I mentioned earlier. Once you go back to stock you can receive ota updates from tmo if that's what you want or you can reroot and flash another custom rom. If you choose to flash another rom I would recommend reading every post on that rom's thread so you can learn from other's experiences. I would also recommend you keep reading the bible thread, theres a ton of good info there.
Good luck.

Dude, THAT is why I do those stickies, thank you! So glad it helped man!
That was really helpful, thank you and I will be looking into this more little by little. But I also have 2 very specific questions:
1. Is it possible to turn an htc windows phone into an android phone?
2. will I lose everything if I push the flash clockwork recovery in the rom manager app? I haven't done it yet but everything I've read has told me to do it the first time. I have the bionix rom running and don't remember flashing the clockwork recovery thing EVER. have I messed up or can I just do it whenever? And is it true thats how you make a nandroid backup because thats what I've read.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out, and being patient with me. You guys are the reason I love android. Thank you from your very lost, slowly learning, new friend.

Depends on the phone, many do have android roms available. Just look up whatever windows phone you have in the forum section and if there has been some android development there will most likely be a section in the thread devoted just to android development.
You need to odin back and start from new

Hy there,
Well I look in to my issue and looks like here some people have the same issue as me but none of there solutions work for me.
I have Rom Manager Pro and every time I need to do a backup I need to apply the update.zip it does not send me to ClockWorkMod recovery automatically as it suppose to. I want to apply a new ROM but I am affraid to because of this small issue.
Any ideas?

nomadrider123,
Thanks for the help and pointer. I am now just running a small experiment to see what happens. Hopefully I wont brick my vibrant. Basically I let it do an update of the kernel using rom manager. Its going now. Lets see what happens.
I am also on a bind with most of the user apps as they run in windows. I run Linux and Mac. I guess its time for VM
wtf?!? She talks! LOL.... WoW the damn thing just told me an estimated time. Nice.
ok so after a few min. My cell was back online with a new kernel. I am happy with Rom Manager. Issue solved.
Thanks!
well so far I have no complaints the voodoo kernel is working very well. I can for sure tell the difference.
For all the n00bs out there. This well worth the shoot.
Samsung wants me to send them my Vibrant to "reflash" it. Can I do it myself?
Hey all. I've been having a couple of problems with my Vibrant -
1. About once a day, when trying to play an MP3, the phone says that the audio files can't be played because they don't exist. Reseting the phone allows the audio files to be played again.
2. The wifi radio frequently will not turn on properly. When trying to turn it on in the wifi settings menu, the wifi will say "turning on...", and about 30 seconds later it will say "error". After a few tries, it will eventually work.
I called Samsung, and they want me to send it to them to "reflash" it. I'm wondering if this is something I can do myself. I've been reading about all of the flashing of roms you guys do here, but I've never done it. Would using Odin or whatever to reflash to stock be the same thing Samsung is going to do?
Thanks for bearing with a n00b!
Yes to all your questions.
You can do it yourself. It will be the EXACT same procedure Samsung will do (except here you have the option of using ROMs that are MUCH cooler).

Awesome! Thank you! Two quick questions-
1. What's the risk level to this? Would I be running the risk of creating a shiny paper weight if I start flashing?
2. What's your favorite ROM? Any recommendations?
Thanks again!
If you can read and follow simple directions then, it is a no-brainer. 1st read the noob bible it has all the instructions to flash anything you want. Go to Unlockr.com or Youtube type in: --Odin back to stock --- rooting a vibrant--- flashing a custom rom.
Simply put Odin is a program that allows you to restore the original 2.1 JFD rom (stock) from there you would Root the phone> then download Rom manager>download Titanium backup> then backup your phone using it> then download a custom rom and put on you internal sd card > then using Rom manager you would flash it
and you have flashed a custom rom. All this takes les than an hour (more like 30-40 min)
Hope that helps you understand more......cheers
I'm not sure if I should put this in another thread, but as I was following the steps, I hit a wall - Titanium backup is force closing when I'm trying to open it. It will show a message saying that it got root access, then immediately crash. Any troubleshooting hints?
Thanks!

NM - it's the new 3.7.6 version they released - it has known FC issues. I got the apk for 3.7.5 and it works like a dream. Thanks!
Just a thought could it be that you do not have busybox installed? Or perhaps the most recent busy box.
Thanks to your help and encouragement, I took the plunge and flashed a custom ROM! It may not sound like much to you guys, but it was big for me!
I chose trigger for my first try, and it's incredible so far! It's SO much better than what Samsung is putting out!
Thanks for you help everyone!
Trust us, the fun is just starting for you!! Once you flash, you can't stop!

And I think you chose the right ROM! Trigger is the shizznessttt!!! If you don't mind me suggesting though, make sure you charge your phone at 100% before flashing anything. It actually made a difference in my battery life, no bs. I guess there is a difference why the devs write and suggest you are fully charged and not just so it dont die midway through flashing procedures lol. Good luck fam.

there is allways the chance you could brick your phone. I suggest reading the noob handbook at the top of the vibrant Q&A page, take your time and follow all directions and you should not have any problems.
