lockscreen fix will only work with DEODEXED rom

====================


Odex vs Deodex

====================

Theres plenty of debate over what is faster/better to use, im not going to take sides in this one. This is just information about what the differences in the two are, try for yourself.



Deodex basically takes the odex file and stuffs it into the apk as a classes.dex. First boot it dissembles the file into /dalvik-cache (i believe). Now there is basically 2 copies of the odex, one in the apk one in cache. This makes it "portable". This allows modders to work on the apks & easily change stuff. If you want themes or stuff like lockscreen fixes you MUST use Deodex.



Odex is how things come stock. It takes up less room but making modifications or taking apks from other roms is hard. You cannot use themes with this version!! To see odex in dcupdater you must go to menu -> configuration -> rom update settings -> display all roms & display experimental roms. Its marked experimental to avoid confusion because themes in dcupdater will not work with it.

Successfully rooted Vibrant 3G on Froyo.UVKA6

Rooted Samsung Vibrant with Froyo KA6
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2
Radio/Modem: KA6
Kernel: Stock+Voodoo
Mods: Constantly changing. Adding and removing.


All these are from XDA-Developers forum
I am just listing the steps I took to root my phone and post-rooting
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode

1. on your PC: Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer).
2. on your PC: Download and install Samsung USB drivers:

64bit:

32bit:

For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. No one will be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process but you.

3. I followed the instructions in this URL (using SuperOneClick v1.5):
root-unroot-samsung-galaxy-3-running-android-2-2-froyo (steps 1 to 5 in "To root your phone:" section)
4. Installed EasyInstaller from Market. Used this app to install BusyBox. You can uninstall EasyInstaller at the end of this excercise.

=== After rooting using SuperOneClick (Froyo.KA6 Vibrant), I installed Titanium Backup. I uninstalled apps like Slacker radio, Kindle, TeleNav etc using Titanium Backup app.  If any folders or updates(like Amazon Kindle under MyApps in Market) left, I delete/uninstall them too(but no hurry in reality as the app is already removed). ===


From here read and re-read thoroughly


Once rooted, need to install lagfix. OneClickLagFix
5. I followed the instructions from step 4 to step 9 in
Full Steps to Acheive Root + ClockwordMod Recovery with new KA6 2.2
5a. recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e (download 3e_recovery_installer.zip only). This link is only to get the .zip file.

Note: CWR's update.zip will in /. Once I booted into CWR few times and done with my work, I moved update.zip into ClockWorkMod folder.

6. Now installed the lagfix. [KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Vibrant.
       Once Voodoo is installed, when you reboot into recovery the phone boots into CWR(red) automatically. Doesn't need CWR's update.zip in root folder(/).
   Tip: Install Voodoo Toggle Reboot Button app from Market. Even easy to enable/disable voodoo lagfix. Made life easier.
   Tip: Install Voodoo Control from Market. The status should read: "Ext4 lagfix active". In the Lagfix preferences, I checked the following: "Ext4 conversion" & "Ext4 /system".
   In-progress: I am still reading and re-reading to replace the stock kernel. Some phones are not responding well to non-stock kernels. be-aware. If you are planning to move from stock kernel, plan to take a kernel backup (see link below "Info on Backups).

Now the Vibrant.Froyo.KA6 is rooted with lagfix. Enjoy your freedom.
===============================================
>> Info on Backups <<

>> when you boot a phone, either it goes to stock OS(android) or recovery mode or download mode.
>> ClockWorkMod recovery tool is better than the standard recovery tool.
>> ClockworkMod Recovery --- a tool to flash (from inside the ROM manager, when selected, it will reboot the phone in recovery mode. then we can select to install new mods/roms/themes,modems).
>> I am using Voodoo Toggle Reboot Button app to reboot into recovery instead of ROM manager.
>> Deodexed (reverse of Dalvik Executable (.dex) format)
>> a .tar file (Odin/Heimdall flashables)
>> a .zip file (ClockworkMod recovery flashable)
