[Q] Do I reflash and what steps do I take?

I have had 2.1 rooted with voodoo for 2.1 for a while not, but am getting forced closes and automatic restarts while I am in the middle of a task or even when just charging overnight. I have heard reflashing fixes the issue. I am not sure the steps needed to reflash. Do I need to undo lagfix or can I just reflash without doing anything?
I have tried getting question answered in fascinate forum where our 2.1 voodoo kernal is located, but no one has answered for over a day. I do have a mesmerize and is mesmerize kernal.
Thank you in advance.

Anyone? Do I need to delete voodoo to re flash voodoo?

Yeah you should always disable voodoo before reflashing, but you should update to froyo eb16. It is much better.

[Q] Voodoo Kernel Questions for Cellular South Showcase

I am attempting to follow the "Newbie's Step-by-step" guide for the Showcase on Cellular South. I have rooted my phone and downloaded the files needed to install RomManager and Clockworkmod Recovery (I haven't installed everything yet, still getting the hang of my root file manager).
Before I continue on, I wanted to make sure that I have the correct version of Voodoo for my phone. I am using a stock but rooted 2.1 os that comes standard on the Showcase. I followed the link to the Voodoo Kernel thread to download the zip file but kept getting error messages from the dropbox site. After a bit more looking, I found a Showcase Voodoo kernel. The name of the file is eb11_voodoo.zip
Is this the correct version for my phone?
I have been reading these forums for several days looking for this answer.
I would assume that since I would be replacing the kernel of the stock os that it would not matter what the original os version was, but I want to be absolutely sure.
Also, is it possible to use the Voodoo kernel while maintaining the rest of the stock 2.1 os? I really just want to be able to use lagfix and voodoo audio controls.

Small world im from brookhaven too!... But to answer your question that zip is for EB11 2.2 not 2.1. I am not sure right off what kernels are available for 2.1. I upgraded to 2.2 with the modem and used OTB 1.6 kernel when i did my phone. You should try pnp v1 for showcase it is a pretty safe and basic rom for staying close to factory and gives you 2.2.

According to cell south's Facebook page, they are suppose to release 2.2 for the showcase by the end of the week if you can wait. If not you will need a dj20 2.1 voodoo kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I500

You should probably just wait until cellular south releases 2.2, then use a voodoo kernel. I don't know of any voodoo kernels for 2.1 that include the audio controls.

I think I would wait for Phidelt82 to fix the new 2.2 build and flash it. I have never cared for, or been happy with CS released upgrades. I always give them a shot but end up flashing other roms within a week due to the disappointment in their versions. Just my two cents.

[ROM][CWM] Stock Deodexed Gingerbread KF2 [Root] [6/26]

This is the Gingerbread KF2 leak from Krylon360, I just deodexed, added root and made flashable.
READ: YOU WILL LOSE CWM RECOVERY AFTER FLASHING THIS AND WILL HAVE TO USE ODIN TO CHANGE ROMS UNTIL CWM IS MODIFIED FOR GB
This is completely stock and contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Odin Kd1 (easiest method)
2. Boot into CWM recovery
3. Make sure mounts are correct
4. Flash via CWM
This does not fix the rainbow crap and the beginning, just wait it will boot.
Let me know if any bugs are found.
http://www.multiupload.com/7N3R9SBBE3
Thanks to Krylon360 for the KF2 leak and telling me how to add root.
Thanks to Chadster214 for testing.

is there an odin version because i already have gingerbread kf1 but would like to upgrade

I haven't found anything wrong yet besides that rainbow screen.

Followed all instructions per thread
Everything works that I can tell
GB 2.3.3 KF2 Rooted ...... Battery is much better on the KF1 then the KF2, don't know why. On KF1 it would last all day without moving... KF2 now on for a few hours and down 10%..... Yep Im sure!

I also noticed I can't unmount system after trying this 3 times.... I also redownloaded the rom just to be sure I didn't have a corrupt rom. I can't seem to correct the issue.

This is build is not half bad (minus the 800 quadrant scores that I've been getting Seems pretty stable and I've been running it all day. Might keep this as my everyday rom for now!

I truly believe quadrant is wrong this gingerbread runs smoother then any of the other roms I've had lol

"Different hardware" is not the whole story. Look at LinuxBozo's Galaxy ROM Hellraiser Beta9. A user managed to flash Samsung based Captivate/Vibrant ROMs (obviously, you've got to "make sure it's Samsung Gingerbread based" {-LinxBozo}).

Much of the ui can be ported. But I don't know if using the whole rom while adding infuse libs has been tried or is likely to work. I think there are just too many differences. But if you feel motivated then try it. Start pulling in libs and bins from infuse roms and make sure you have the unbrick package ready. But remember to use an infuse kernel and modem.

That's because the Infuse hardware is much closer to the I9000/Captivate than to the GS2.

Hmm... Interesting. I tried SensatioN with Hellraiser yesterday, and I had some info on the "about phone" section (don't remember if I had it all), and that modem and tweak setup, I'm gonna have to give it a try. I'm currently in stock because, yesterday, I was feeling defiant and tried to flash a JVS ROM from the i9000 forum with Hellraiser, as opposed to a JVQ, and ended up in an eternal bootloop. I was a bit tired so I just returned to stock and went to sleep. I'm gonna see if I give it a second try today in the afternoon. And also, I don't know why, my SensatioN was lagging a bit. I should've rebooted my phone a couple of times (instead of immediately making a call after rebooting the first time) to create some stability. I might give it a second try later today. I'll let you know how it goes. (I'm feeling sooo defiant this week. I WANT to make a JVS/JVR ROM work. All the JVQ ROMs I found, weren't very appealing, or were left in the dust by the devs.) lol

I had the same problem so went to the i9000 sensation and no problems worked beautifully very nice rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I give up. I tried to flash a JVS ROM by flashing a stock JVS i9000 ROM, and flashing two other .zip files, then Hellraiser, but, one of them, CWM would abort every time I tried to flash it, so it got stuck in bootloop also. I'm gonna try SensatioN one more time. If I fail to make it work again, I'm going to stick to Infused. I hope someone manages to port SGSII ROMs for Infuse I really want to get my hands on one.

U and me both. Have u tried the ported dlev rom? I flashed hellraiser beta 9 on top of it. Probably my favorite rom out right now fast responsive awesome battery life. Give it a shot if u haven't already.

Best SGS4G Rom?

I just updated my friends SGS4G to stock 2.3.5 with voodoo lagfix. Still seems a tad laggy. When I had a Vibrant Team Whiskey made an awesome rom (Bionics-V) that had virtually no lag. What is the best custom rom out for the SGS4G to get rid of most of the lag?

In my personal opinion Valhalla Final, Although its only been out for less then a day the other valhalla versions have been superb. I have yet to test battery but supposedly it is outstanding. Heres the link

First off, sent from your iPhone? Really? ...
Second, it depends on what you are looking for. Using a Froyo ROM is always a safe bet. Supposedly GB has better battery life though. But also if you are looking for a stock look, maybe ICBINB or AOSP is more your speed. The GB ROMs are pretty good these days, and with the source released they will only get better. Before I ran GB, I ran Bionix Frost with Bali UV, and it was great.
But, if you just want to get rid of lag, maybe just try something that will debloat you and flash the Bali kernel and stay Froyo.

You do not need to disable voodoo (follow his install instructions in the OP).
I also suggest the newest market - it is MUCH FASTER.

Thanks I figured u didnt have to cause it has voodoo enabled by default. But just wanted to make sure, don't want to brick my friends phone lol
Yeah I saw the review video. It's looks awesome. I remember Whitehawkx from the Nexus S threads. He did good work. Definitely gonna suggest his ROM to my friends.

you may also want to try flashing dsexton's adrenaline shot for the GS4G, it makes a difference. I'm running it on valhalla with good results. Or you can try a rom that is pre-tweeked, like Octane v3.0, or ICBINB KJ6 version.
And check what kind of SD cards are in your friend's phone. if they have an older/slower (like a class 2) SD card, it will slow some things down.
