what i need to know is
==================
1-what should i do BEFORE i try and install any of them ?
2-Which one is better voodoo rynza's ( btw i don't know where to get the vododo one from )

Thanks so much for people who care to help others appreciate it
note: I have no 3 botton combo download mood so if I f#ck up I will brick my phone lol
Any one can answer me please kindly post a reply :}
There's a lot of useful information in the threads about Doc Froyo ROM and SpeedMod Kernel. Maybe you could try reading into that.
Personally, I am really liking Doc Froyo, which has the latest SpeedMod Kernel built in.

1. Not really
2. Voodoo for eclair is awesome. Really improves all forms of lag.
3. Possible brick if you can't get into download mode?
4. If you don't remove lag fix's before flashing you can run into numerous problems, and you may brick your device.
5. Yes, use Odin and reflash back to stock firmware.
I hope this answers your questions....
4.
Thanks alot guys i will read more about this
too bad i dn't know how to add a custom rom , lol but i will try figure it out

Glad to be of help
1. Make sure you DO have 3 button combo download mode... Now, I always have problems getting into download mode. Most of the time, it takes me 3-4 tries with Vol-down, Home, Power, releasing Power button at various moments. I find that its also important to press the Voldown-Home-Power buttons in that order, and release the power button first (soem say, when the big S shows, others say no sooner then when the digging Android puppet is shown). So, are you sure you don't have 3-button download?
2. I have nothing but positive experience with VooDoo Lagfix, following the instructions mentioned at project-voodoo.org (you need 3-button download mode...)
3. Your Galaxy doesn't start anymore, and you cant get into download mode to flash something new
4. At least for Voodoo: Voodoo changes the file system to ext4, AND flashes you ROM so it can read and write ext4. If you flash a new ROM without uninstalling lagfix, you install a ROM that understands RFS filesystem onto a device with a ext4 partition. Your ROM wont be able to read the apps and data partition... Compare it to flashing a FAT32 capable OS to a NTFS partition. What uninstalling Voodoo does is reformatting ext4 back to RFS
5. Voodoo is easely reverted (put one file on your SD card and reboot, voila.)
BTW, if i where you i'd first upgrade to Froyo 2.2 via a normal way (Kies), then its quite safe to install Voodoo. In theory, this can be done even without 3-button combo, by issuing the adb command Reboot Download. But as always: at your own risk...

- Make sure your phone is charged
- Read as much as you can here. Go to the voodoo threads and the rynza OCLF threads and read what others experienced. It can be helpful.
- Rynza's one click lag fix is probably the easiest to apply if you are not confident to fiddle around with the phone.
i want to install official froyo i have disabled the voodoo lag fix on my rooted phone.my firmware is jg4 and kernel in 2.6.29 [email protected]#voodoo lagfix.if i update my firmware thru kies will my kernel revert to stock kernel or whether i have to first flash stock jg4 using odin then upgrade thru kies please help could not find the reply anywhere pl note voodoo lagfix is disabled in my device but not completely uninstalled and its rooted also
Long time reader, first time poster Receive my i9000 tomorrow. Excited but not interested in a laggy device so want to get customising straight away....
I've read numerous threads regarding rooting, download/recovery mode and custom ROM flashing.
I'm interested in gaining root access and flashing the Darky 7.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091). There's a couple of things that confuse me that I've tried reading/searching about with no luck. Please no flaming - if I've missed something, please just kindly point me in the right direction
Firstly, the lack of download/recovery mode on some i9000 devices (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091). Does the lack of ability of this feature mean that I will need to complete the fix detailed on these forums? Or am I just able to initiate the download mode whenever I need it (which should be rarely, I don't plan on obsessively updating ROMS) through cmd and the SDK via my computer? If I don't complete the fix, will the method of accessing download mode via the computer not work?
Secondly, the clockworkmod. Their website is down and says its under construction so I can't find much info about why this is needed and whether it is absolutely required or not. As far as I can tell, its a permanent? temporary? replacement for the stock android download mode. Is this correct? If it is a permanent replacement of the stock android download mode, can it be removed and reverted to the original?
With future updates, (my device is shipping with 2.1), does the download mode get updated/removed, or is it hardware based, thus fixed?
Whats voodoo? Whilst lots of pages talk about this.. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.... the Darky ROM says its optional to activate it.. but can't actually tell whats being activated or how..
Throughout all these processes, whats reversible and whats not? After installing clockwork, lagifxes, custom ROMS, rooting, partitioning, changing/partitioning away from RFS, will my device ever be able to be reverted to an out-of-the-box state ever again?
Lastly, honest opinion - the i9000's here in Australia are shipping with 2.1. Should I just root and apply the lagifx and enjoy as is? Should I just update to 2.2 and leave it there? Or are the improvements that custom ROMS provide, in particular Darky's, worth the mucking around?
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated... thanks guys ;-)
** added -- and what is JPU, JPO and JPY?? :-S ***
You should really get the 3 button fix working. And pretty much is reversible by flashing a stock rom. I can't answer on the other points.

So flashing a stock i9000 rom resets the partitioning modifications that custom ROMs and lagfixes create?
I think so. But i'm far from 100% sure.

*bump*****************
1. Check your unit if download mode (vol down+home+power) and recovery (vol up+home+power) is working.
If not, get it by searching here in XDA.
2. Clockwork is a (better) form of recovery mode. Plus you can activate lag fixes there.
Nandroid back up is a plus.
3. Darkyy's 7.5 is froyo 2.2.1 so you're up-to-date if you do flash that ROM.
4. Please please please back-up your EFS folder before playing with your device!

Hi guys just got my galaxy S and I am currently running on Doc Rom's latest build with Hardcore 15Q 500hz kernel but I have a ton of questions I don't understand. I have been trying to read the forums as best as I can but I still can't find the answers I'm looking for. Please explain in layman's terms I cam from the Desire and N1 and things were pretty straight forward over there. ROM+Kernel+Radio
1. What's voodoo?? and Lagfix?? Kernels from what I understand but why are there so many spinoffs and variations and modifications?? Are they required? If I made a rom from docs kitchen does it come with these? Do I still need to install them after?
Because when I read the directions it says to close any lagfixes before flashing. Can anyone give me the correct sequence of what I am supposed to flash to the phone??
2. Is there an automatic text reflow feature for the browser similar to HTC SENSE wherein the text resizes even after you've really zoomed in and not just double tapped?
3. I read in doc roms kitchen that back light notification is included but I cant get it to work. Do I have to flash the kernel in BLN's thread? Wouldn't that overlap whatever kernel I got on my rom?
4. How do I get battery percentage for my rom?
5. Is there a mod wherein you can enable the home button to unlock the phone while in the lockscreen? Similar to the one Cyanogen is using for the desire and N1
6. Whats JPY / JS3 / JPX??? I assume its official firmware from samsung, is JS3 the newest?
Thanks for helping an extremely confused noob!
hmm right where to start ...... 1st of all voodoo is a kernel same as speedmod both have an option to install a lagfix (speeds up the phone basically ) but this is optional and is usually contained in CWM (ClockworkMod) CWM is a more advanced recovery method where you can flash new roms and apply tweaks do resets ect.. ( to get into recovery press Volume up + Home button + Power button all together )
there are so many versions of ROMs + Kernels because alot of people on here are developers and like to modify their phones.. If your not too sure if this will benefit you, i suggest you dont bother as 1 little mistake can turn your phone into a very expensive paper weight.
BLN is an app which will make the buttons light up if you get a txt,email,ect without lighting up the whole screen (which drains battery) there is a similar app names NoLed available in the market.
as for the automatic text reflow i dunno what that is if you mean multitouch this phone supports it ( pinch to zoom and all that **** )
JPY JPX JS3 are firmwares JS3 being the latest. and finally for the mod of making the home button unlock the phone i dont think ive seen that done on the SGS yet.. but there are alot of different Unlock screens you can get from flashing.
oh and the battery percentage thingy thats included in some roms. otherwise there is an app called circular battery ( google it )
but as said earlier.. if you do decide to customise your phone make sure you FULLY UNDERSTAND what you are doing.. if you have doubts dont do it, read a bit more and post some Questions on here till you are confident enough, as no body on here is responsible for damaging your phone except you !!...
Hope all that helps sorry for such a long post

When in CWM and tweaking lagfix options theres an item that enables it. Does this mean that by default the lagfix is turned off when I flash the kernel or rom? Is it recommended?
What does convert system to ext4 / RFS do? Is it recommendable?
Do I have to partition my sdcard or something for this to work?
Whats the tweak option and is there anything that I should do for better performance?
and lastly when I reboot after enabling lagfix it asks me if I should convert and it proceeds to backup. What just happened? Is there anyway to revert? Will it mess up my files?
Oh and btw I'm using Doc's Rom and theres an options under display to change my lockscreen. It gives me the option of changing from stock android, samsung or whatever else but it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to do something to enable it or is this still a WIP?

I read the spreadsheet but still cant understand what the difference between voodoo and speedmod kernel is. Shouldn't voodoo be bettter?
like everyone says on here about the battle of voodoo vs speedmod. there is no better / worse its personal choice both work brilliantly so u decide which to use.
as for lagfix its disabled as default but you enable it via CWM when speedmod asks to backup its best to do it incase of any trouble ( VERY RARE ) you do not need to partition your sd card.
ext4 is just where data is saved instead of rfs, its quicker this way hence the name LAGFIX and its optional, but it works
doing anything other than what samsung say is risky, but the clever people over here on XDA know what they are doing and thats what makes the SGS better. your files wont get deleted unless you do a wipe (manually or wipe version of ROM )
Oh and the lockscreens are changeable in 'settings' if not check out the threads ( or where you downloaded your ROM from )
I think I got it. Thanks buddy! Really appreciate it!

ok..lemme do the honors....quick ques...am flashing firefly 2.2(downloading it now)....i flashed back to stock JF6...do i need to flash to some base ROM for firefly 2.2 to work??
I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.

Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK
Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.
If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.
EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.
ok cool..thanks!! lookin forward to enjoy this ROM
..its really irritatin to have to flash to base ROM's and then flash to the updated ROM's....

thanks!! downloading NOW!

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

That is quite a strange problem.
Lets try to troubleshoot it.
Did you install any third party app that needs to load at startup?
Did apply any themes?
Glad to have this open since i cant post on the original thread yet

Q: is hsupa enabled on this rom? also i'm in australia using 850/2100 wcdma could there be any issues with this modem?

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...
Several Questions
I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.
1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.
2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?
3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.
4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

Thanks a lot for your attention...

I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.

As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.

OK, maybe I'm missing it, but with every search I've ran, all I come up with is 3e recovery problem, but I've already gotten past that.
I am running rooted stock 2.2 with the 3e fix. I have CWM installed, and I can get into it by installing the update.zip it created. But I would like to make it my default recovery, is it possible? Or am I dumb and am I just missing it?
Thanks
It has to be baked into the kernel ... Thus you can't make it default on the stock one, you will have to keep the update.zip on your sdcard and reinstall packages twice each time.
Every single custom kernel has it as default, so you can flash a new kernel to do it. If you are on stock 2.2 look for ones that say based on kb1, or you will have to flash another modem as well or call quality will have sound issues. But at that point might as well just pick out a rom, it'll have all that stuff all ready to go. Plus alot of added features and theme options....
Thanks for the heads up
