Hello I'm new to this hand set, I've been helping a friend with it. He loves it and I was happy to show him the other side of android. But I'm use to HTC phones so this is a hole new ball park I used odin to root and to flash tweaked 2.0. He is on FP1 and he would like to try overclock and WiFi on his phone if someone can please point me in the right direction or explain how to go back a update to EP4 or somethin. To try other roms that would be great. Thank you all in advance for all the help.

Pit file and the all one one ep4 stock image found http://www.imnuts.org/odin-packages/ ... there are also instructions.. good luck!!

There's no reason to downgrade to EP4...all the updated ROM's are based on FP1, and the PBJ kernel is updated to FP1. I don't understand the reasoning behind downgrading.
Stock FP1 is seriously better. I'd never go back ...
Ok. I understand the FP1 better then the others but will the custom kernel let him overclock and WiFi? Sorry guys I'm a noob with this phone I feel like a retart asking? But thank you again for all the help. I only was going back to EP4 or another previous update because I can't understand this one. Can someone point me to a cool Rom.

Ok I tryed to flash through Odin tweaked 2.1 all 3 times it gave me a error I'm wonder is it cause the Rom has no modem? And what is the no modom? Were do I get it and how do I flash or install please completely lost with this. Thanks for all your help.
And popped another error for mismatched md5 how would I fix this. Sorry I'm a noob and not very proud of it. Thanks again.

Make sure you have the battery in when you flash in Odin.
If you've taken the OTA to the FP1 version, then you already have the latest modems and don't an update for them. If not, we don't have a complete image of the FP1 modems. The easiest way to get them is to flash to stock EP4 and take the OTA. Failing that, there is a CWM compatible update that will flash you from EP4 to FP1 modems. I don't have the link handy, but I can try to dig it up for you if need it.
I did do the ota to fp1. To put it in download mode I power off pull battery connect to the data cable while holding down, wait for the download screen to appear then insert battery back in. I opened pda and found tweaked 2.1 with pbj kernel I click on it and it tried to start but then popped error on md5 mismatch.

I got to say thank you all for your help. I got in tweaks 2.1 I did the overclock. But I need to know what are the best setting for the overclock and witch app should I use?. Thank you all for all your help my friend is more in love with his phone then he was before.
Sent from my vivow using xda premium
Voltage Control is a free overclocking/undervolting app that works quite well with the PBJ kernel. I find running the smartassV2 governor makes the biggest difference in performance for me. Overclocking makes a small improvement in performance, and undervolting makes a small improvement in battery life. Some safe starting values to try for undervolting are 100/-100, 200/-100, 400/-75, 800/-50, 1000/-50, 1200/-25. Most processors can go lower voltages than that, but that's a good start.
Ok one last thing I tried to install s-voice on my friends phone (charge- tweaked 2.1) when I hit install it says error with package installer. Is there something I can do to get this to install. Thanks again and by the way he loves this Rom thank you all for all of your help.

Well s voice probably requires some of the sgs3 framework so it wouldn't work here. Also it is built on ics so it probably wouldn't work on gb. Finally to install a system app you can't use package installer. You just place the apk in /system/app.

Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).
first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.
I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.
are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?

I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix
I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade

That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.
Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.

Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo
And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.
Guys:
Don't follow any instruction to flash this kernel on your captivate running official froyo I897UCKB1. I tried all advices and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily the unbricking method you can find.in xda saved me. But, i had to flash.back to JF6 (2.1 eclair stock) using odin3 and then went back to kies mini to get the official froyo. I am writing this for people who like to use stock froyo instead of any.custom roms. I had to waste my time because.some.people suggested a few methods without knowing it for sure. Most suggestions are great in this forum (thats how i used serendipity.for a while). But, some or one of the bad suggestions can brick your phone real bad. So, ask as many questions as possible before going with a suggestion you see. Preferably look at how to videos. If there are none out there. Then, WAIT!

So I had GB bootloaders and 2.3.4 installed on it. I was browsing through the forum and really liked Raver's Redux rom, but totally blacked out i have to change bootloaders back to Froyo ( still no idea how to ). So my phone got into a bootloop. The problem is, i tried to flash the phone back to GB rom, and was doing it using ODIN, and brother plucked the usb cable off during the flashing process. Now everytime i try to turn it on, it has a yellow triangle that says" Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. PLease select recovery mode in KIes and try again. " Tried Kies, no use. The same screen appears when i try to get into a download mode, tried usb jig . same screen. WHat should i do from here? i am out of ideas.
OK, i flashed Stock GB rom with Odin, even the dwld mode didn't appear on phone screen, but ODIN read it and i got a connection in with it. Now its on a bootloop again. It goes into the recovery menu (3e). Says E:Failed to mount /data (INvalid Argument). What should i do from here??? THanks
NVM , I got it working now But i still want that Redux rom My question is : how do i get back to Froyo Bootloaders? A specific instruction would be really helpful, what to tick and not on ODIN , etc... Thanks
Flash kd1 or Odin ravers kc1 with all 4 files. You'll have the froyo bootloaders. There at guides out there if you search. I'm in my phone, so I can't link then. Sorry.if you have trouble, let me know and I'll walk you through it

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).

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.

LOL, no worries. Seeings how you're on a Galaxy S4G, grab Adrenaline Shotv12.zip. The Universal is for other phones. The 'BL' versions are for those that experience boot loops after flashing this.

A best rom thread? Really?
Thread closed
I just rooted my phone yesterday and removed all the bloatware (big thanx to Lumin30)
Now I'm wondering if I can make it even snappier without flashing too much stuff on it.. since I'm too new to this business and would prefer having my phone mostly stock

Boat browser is the fastest I've used. DL from market.
If you have cwm installed. I'm assuming you do since you're rooted. Dsexten's adrenalin shot and the scroll mod can work wonders for making things snappy while maintaining a stock phone.

For actual data speed, you can probably make it faster by leaving your phone on CDMA mode only (keeps you locked in 3G/4G). If left in Auto mode, it will revert to EDGE when you aren't using data.
I feel like it makes a noticeable difference, since your phone won't need to switch back and forth.
As for the actual speed of a browser, I've been using Dolphin since I got my phone. It's very snappy.

Thanx.. can u please tell me a way to flash that... I'm new to this. My phone is rooted thru superoneclick.
I'm on stock gingerbread. I would love to be able to run that rom since it will free up a lot of system storage... is it glitchy at all?

It will be easy for you. First download SGS Kernel Flasher from the market.
Thanx again Lumin... I downloaded the kernel flasher, what do I do now

Read the first link in my signature where it talks about SGS Kernel Flasher.
ADD:Alex - Let me know if the directions were clear or if you need any additional help.
It was somewhat clear... I appreciate u making that thread and taking ur time to answer but I'm still somewhat clouded... I need to install a kernel with vodoo lag fix before I install a rom.. when I go to the link of vodoo lag fix it says attention its still buggy and vodoo sound maybe coming soon... all of that is making me somewhat worried... but the rom flashing steps are confusing to me since I'm like a blind baby to this flashing stuff.

If you don't want to use the kernel then you can use KJ1. I haven't had a problem with the kernel. And when you flash the custom ROM it will have that same kernel -- just updated. You only flash that kernel to get CWM to flash the ROM. When you flash the ROM it comes with a kernel that will overwrite the kernel you flash with SGS.
And Voodoo sound is not the same as Voodoo lagfix.
You just need to follow the direction to get where you want. If you think some of the directions are clear... then tell me which one's and how. I will take a look at and see if I can make them clearer.

Check your mounts in mounts and storage and read the OP of ROM for correct mounts – U=Unmount / M=Mount. I had to change some coming fresh out of the box.
o Then choose 'install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from scard', then go to bottom, find ROM you copied over, select install and wait.
thats a lil confusing...
and to double check the first step:
all i have to do is download Subtly Modified Stock for T959V KJ6 v0.1.1-rc1 and flash that kernel with kernel flasher from the market? simple as that?
Yes on the kernel.
Don't worry about the mounts. I need to change that. The aroma installer will handle that for you now. What ROM are you going to flash?
ICBINB 2.3.7 since I read its mostly stock with no theming and is super fast and only uses 46mb internal space since it heavily debloated... would u recommend it?
BTW thanx again man!

Yes.
Go reread the guide. Take notes when you go through. PM me anything you think needs to change or be added. If you have flashed the kernel - just flash it - follow the directions to flash the ROM and you are good to go. Take note of the steps in the Aroma Installer you do and PM those also and I will add them to the guide. Aroma Installer is what you will see after you select install for the ROM.

Hopefully you noticed when I said reread the guide it is because I updated it. I am asking for your input as somebody fresh using the guide. I know what I am doing and it is easy to leave out the little steps when writing the guide that noobs may need. Hopefully you can help make it a better guide!
Good luck!
Ye I understood u brother... ill let u know if there are steps to add for other newbs

Hey Lumin.. so I did like u asked I believe u did miss a step.. I just installed quick boot.. did a back up... but from cwm recovery I don't know where to navigate to install the icbinb rom... it has a list.. back up.. reboot.. update zip file or something like that... etc which one do I chose? And do u need to extract the icbinb rom zip file? Or just put it like that in the root of my sd? Before that do I need to wipe anything? Thanx a lot again
