I'm wondering how do i correctly fix the lag fix on my fascinate. My phones is already rooted and I have busybox installed. HHHEELLPP!
First off, all questions go in the Questions and Answers section. Secondly, what are you running? Froyo? Gingerbread?
Be more specific.

Im running froyo and I was wondering what is the exact way to fix the lag fix on my phone. Do I have to Voodoo it or what?
Install power wash ed05 and then flash imnuts pbj voodoo kernal. Instructions are in the dev section under PowerWashed ed05 rom.
Do i install powerwash through clockwork and pbj through odin?
both in CWM...or just put CM7 on there, it has no lag whatsoever
I was reading the post about the kernels on the superwash post and it said that the new release of the kernel was bad.

It works fine, only thing that is broken is the power menu recovery option.

so you have a stock Vibrant...you wanna overclock?
Are you rooted? Im pretty sure that too run a different kernel you need a diffrent rom other than the stock JFD.
You might get more answers if you posted in the right section.
Its the ji6 I think

dont bother giving him crap just help the guy. mods can clean it up and move it later.
ok well 1st off - know that what your about to do can potentially brick or damage your device and that myself,xda,jesus, mary and the hly ghost, the hobo behind the walmart and your aunt frank have nothing to do with this so you can only blame yourself
i would get to know ODIN real well first off. make sure you are able to get into download mode. via the hardware method OR ADB
use the Vibrant bible to find info on that.
I apologize guys I'm assuming this belongs in q&a

Not trying to be a wiseguy but:
Read the "Vibrant directory ( Bible ) and search this forum. Look for the subjects you're interested in. All questions are answered you just need to study before you start.
Learn how to use odin - if you follow the links you will have everything you need to get back to stock in an emergency.
Read about and learn how to use one click root.
Read about and learn how to use Rom Manager to flash roms
Use Titanium backup to backup your apps
Good luck and have fun!
Ok real quick I have odin I have the stock vibrant rom from xda I am pretty good with this stuff just new to this phone I also have a few roms but kinda wanna wait for 2.2 but would like a new kernel I have rom manager and a back up of my rom but I am having a problem getting adb to work just been using the terminal apk but I need help.with this and thank you for your time

OP you need to spend a couple hours reading and understanding several things. Most if not all you need is in the vibrant bible thread. If you can't get adb to work its almost always the driver. Must understand odin just in case something goes wrong. Its hard to truely brick this phone but not impossible.

No, that only saves your data and apps. You need to save it or you can use the ones located in the vibrant library. You can always revert back to stock using odin but do so AT YOUR OWN RISK... Good luck

The Bible is the greatest thing EVER.
Just seriously use how to use Odin. If you can learn how to get into download mode consistently and connect to odin successfully you will be fine. Then learn how to use recocery, which is very easy on the vibrant. you just install ROM manager from the market and flash clockwork mod recovery. learn how to backup and restore and you can flash things through recovery. Zips are for recovery, and Tar files are for Odin. If you want to OC i recommend "Corev2" by team whiskey (since JAC has dissapeared) which works with most ROMs and should work well with stock rooted. There is Odin files and zip files for stock kernels, jfd and ji6, which you could just flash over if you dont like it. Nandroid backups dont backup kernels, so make sure you have the right kernel on when you restore something. You can find everything in the BIBLE like everyone has told you to try. One word of the wise, if you load a Froyo 2.2 on your phone and then revert back to 2.1, make sure you flash a 2.1 kernel first before you restore. So many people think they brick after they do that.
And usually if you are waiting for official firmware, it appears here on XDA ready to flash (i flashed official ji6 before it was availible OTA) at some point. I would recommend you use a rooted ji6 ROM with Corev2 (and possibly the ji2 modem to save battery life but i like the ji6 modem) this will let you OC and UV without setcpu. this is kind of a scattered response but im just trying to help. I am running AOSP jk2 1.1 by Anderdroid and i LOVE IT.
It looks like you have everything ready on your phone.
Just learn Odin, you don't really need ADB. Make sure your phone can go into the download mode via the vol up and vol down key and connect USB cable for download mode. Its a Triangle Icon with android robot with shovel.
There you should load the Pit file and Tar file to flash back to Stock in case you brick you phone. As far as flashing ROM goes, remember this!!
If you flash a 2.1 Kernel + ROM like Fusion 1.2, and create a Nandroid backup through ClockWork. Then decided to go to a Froyo 2.2 kernel + ROM like Obsidian or MacnutR11 to try out. Do not restore Nandroid backup to 2.1, it will brick your phone requring u to ODin back to stock.
Bottom line 2.1 ROM will not work with 2.2 kernel and 2.1 kernel will not work with 2.2 ROM. Don't mix them up.
Basically if you are running a 2.1 kernel + rom, then switch to 2.2 kernel and rom. For some reason you don't like it, make sure you flash back to 2.1 kernel + rom instead of doing a nandroid restore.
I have a dumb question, and didn't seem to get a direct answer. I just recently started flashing new roms and using odin, but was curious about O/Cing. With the Fusion rom already flashed, do I just flash the Voodoo kernel or do I reflash the stock firmware and THEN flash the kernel followed by the rom? Or is there something I should or should not do in there, lol. Any input is appreciated, as I am relatively new to all this.

If your new to all this don't use voodoo just yet unless your willing to deal with a brick as it's very easy to brick with voodoo

Ok, so I read up and flashed the Project Core v2 kernel last night on the 1.2 Fusion rom and it ran perfectly and was super quick at 1200/200 on setcpu. Problem is today after rebooting, it will completely freeze every once in a while while doing something media-wise, such as watching youtube videos or playing Hyper Jump. I know I didn't flash the kernel or rom wrong, so is there something I am missing? I also have the OCLF installed, if that matters.
Tonight I am going to reflash them both to see if it works, but would like to see if there is something I can do before I get off work.

you can just flash the voodoo kernel over fusion,but not all vibrants are capable of using voodoo. i.e. the vibrants with the larger nand chip does not support voodoo. if you do flash the voodoo kernel and your phone does not support, everything will still work just fine,but voodoo will not be enabled.
as for OCing..not all vibrants are capable of OC. it may run smooth at first,but some vibrants will start freezing up or slowing down. i found dragons kernel to work amazing or core 1.0ghz kernel

I planned on using ODIN, also there is so much info on this site im a bit overwhelmed.
Do you have any ROM suggestions? I dont know what I should try next.
open to suggestions, thanks!

Using Bionix V-1.3
I rooted my vibrant, installed CWM,update voodoo on stock froyo, but couldn't get the voodoo lagfix work(can't mount, file existing errors). So I disabled lagfix and flash a stock 2.1, upgrade to 2.2, and then flash in the voodoo 5.5 with Odin.
It works now but somehow in between the process, it messes up my volume buttons. Up is now Down and Down is now Up, I remember this behavior in CWM too but I thought that's how it works in CWM. So I guess it's not OS's problem. However, I'm not really familiar with linux so I really need your help. I'd appreciate any input.
Are u sure u didnt flash a i9000 rom and/or kernel?

Ummm, I think I flashed in the i9000 kernel. I thought it would work....So, since I don't see a froyo kernel for vibrant, there is no way to fix this?
If so, i'll flash back a stock JFD and just wait.

If you head over to the vibrant android development forum there is actually an array of different roms you can try with different kernels. I would however suggest odin back to stock first and see if that fixes your mapping problem, just to make sure it's software and not hardware related.
Theirs ur problem their is 2 kernels for vibrant(i think) flash one of those and u will b good....last resort odin back to stock

Thanks for all the replies.
I'm going to flash a vibrant kernel and hope that fixes the problem.
edit: with new kernel, now it works flawlessly
Does any one have a link to the stock kernel for the eclair fascinate. Its my friends. He flashed the ec10 voodoo kernel. I have got voodoo disable but need a flashable stock eclair kernel to fix this.
Do yeah. I still need it. Ok looking through the forums now. I have found the package to Odin back to stock but would preffer to just flash the stock kernel. This fixed my mesmerize at one time. Don't know if it will work now. Any help would be appreciated
Edit. Gonna try the method in the sticky. See what that does.
The steps in the stickey fixed it. This was mostly my fault cause he asked me if the ec10 kernels was ok. Never crossed my mind he was still on eclair. Anyway got him on 2.2 using the Odin files. Love that program. Sorry for takin up a thread. I should have just done the Odin thing from the start. Lesson learned.
