not really, i am not sure how bad ur situation.

u said it is only fault at lucifr kernel right?

so just flash any other rooted kernel, but u will get binary counter of course
i am using superatmos 3.0, very nice, simple and close to stock

if u are avoiding binary counter, u can flash back stock kernel only.
either u download from somewhere or made the tar for zimage urself.

it is not necessary in this case to flash rom, just flash kernel.

are these steps from my guide? i think u have my old version of guide in which i made an error with the step there, go download the latest one from my signature.

for flashing odin, no need to care about usb debugging or unknown sources as u will be in odin mode

by flashing stock kernel, usually u will lose root access

haha, if u want to start all over again, i have a recommendation of what i did.

flash fully back rom KJ2 or KK1 as long as it is rootable by doomlord, root it using doomlord.

install mobile odin pro, flash XXLA1 using the Everroot option.

now u have latest rom LA1 with stock LA1 and rooted.

now u can either flash rooted kernel with mobile odin pro or stay with stock LA1

i flashed mine with superatmos 3.0 just to get cwm support.

clean and simple. i did it in less than 20min..

and all steps are briefed in my latest guide..check it out..

LA1 is very battery friendly as it will always try to deep sleep the cpu all the time and saving battery.
Bugs are also mostly fixed and almost never hang compared to old version.

some simple UI changes like icons and lockscreen are also implemented in LA1

so far this is the best and stable version i have encountered

kind of, but if einsteins brain were to put inside our cranium, i dont think i can manage the brain.lols

no, i am not using any, i did limit the cpu freq using JD, and setting the io scheduler to noop using init.d scripts.

so far so good, even though benchmark quite low, but i knew it that because the battery saving is in action and as long as i play game like zenonia4 without lag..it is ok for me

yep, even stock also can use voltage control, it just hotplug default seems to have its own management which always change the speed itself, thats why i just left it and limit using jd, beside jd can re-limit the cpu speed everytime

nothing really cf-root, it is just a term getting root..but if u can use cwm manager without problem, so u are cf-rooted..lols

with LA1, so far i never experienced lagginess or even hang

i am just at 40..lols..

yeah, u should be itchy considering ICS will not be around maybe a month or two..lols..

my question is, why do u want to flash 1.0 version? that one is really outdated and even the dev still learnt on how to create flashable file.

i suggest u get another rom, like galaxyrom or dark rom or homam g v3, these are recently updated.

i am using the open germany one, actually i think it will not differ much from the india version.
i only tried the german version so far.

creezlizard? since when i am a lizard

haha, a lot happened today it seems, too bad i am not around to help you but seems like you all managed to help each other, great.

Andrewtst, that one review is clean and impressive, should be seductive enough for kldoc to jump ship from old rom..lols

if u are rooted, u can use mobile odin pro
if u are not, u can either get rooted easily by flashing rooted kernel (void warranty, need usb jig)
or u can downgrade rom and root using doomlord and use mobile odin pro afterthat.

all in my guide like Andrewtst said.

yes, we are referring to XXLA1

u have many wrong steps there.

may i ask what the end output u need? stock rom with root OR custom rom?

for ENDING with stock rom LA1 (with usb jig)
1. Flash stock rom LA1 with Odin
2. Flash superatmos 3.0 with Odin
3. Reboot, everything should be working
4. Flash resetable bootloader (old bootloader) using Odin
5. Use USB jig to reset yellow triangle and binary counter.
6. Done

for ENDING with custom rom (with usb jig)
1. Flash stock rom LA1 with Odin (actually any stock rom also possible)
2. Flash superatmos 3.0 with Odin
3. Reboot, everything should work
4. Flash any custom rom using CWM
5. Reboot and everything should be working
6. Flash resetable bootloader (old bootloader) using Odin
7. Use USB jig to reset yellow triangle and binary counter.
8. Done

for ENDING with stock rom LA1 (without usb jig)
1. Flash stock rom KJ2/KK1 or older with Odin
2. Root using doomlord
3. Install mobile odin pro
4. Flash stock LA1 using mobile odin pro and with Everroot (wipe is recommended)
5. Done

ps : i am just phrasing the steps basic, for more details, please refer to my guide. and please download the latest one if u are using the old one.

CWM : can flash custom rom only with packaged as zip
Odin : can flash stock rom only / some kernel/bootloader/modem with packaged as tar
Mobile Odin Pro : can flash like normal Odin but can recognize not only tar, but also some file directly like sbl.bin,zImage,modem.bin

Added on March 4, 2012, 2:34 pmdepends on how u set the cpu and io scheduler.

and know this, antutu scores are not very much reliable, it is how u feel and how u use ur phone, as long as it is smooth and reliable, more than enough. and know this, usually with higher antutu scores, normally battery drain also higher.

glad it helped.

just one more last note, i am not sure if u are aware or not, but some other people seems to be confused about this.

if u flashed any rom on the current rom, it will replace the current rom.

for example, u are running stock LA1, then u flashed GalaxyRom RC4 (based on KL3 maybe, if i am not mistaken), now u will be running KL3 aka Galaxyrom RC4, not LA1 patched with Galaxyrom RC4

some people thought that custom rom is something like a patch, but custom rom is actually a full working rom and it has different base and version.

hope now it clears.

i prefer to use stock as i am modding it myself, so at least i know what to mod and what i removed.

if i use custom rom, sometimes dev removed something that i want to use and vice versa.

i never tested any of those custom rom, but honestly, if u are really new and using many stock samsung, just stay with stock especially LA1, just use superatmos 3.0, it is more than enough already.

just my 2cents.

are u backing up the whole rom using TBP? it is recommended to batch backup only data app first, after that batch backup selected sytem app, like messaging,calendar and so on. As you are not requiring the whole system backup, just selected ones.

everything will be backed up to a titanium backup folder inside sdcard(internal) not external.

read few posts back and read my guide, i have mentioned it.

i wont comment about themes as i hate flashing themes, too many unknown possibilities can occured

if u read my guide properly, i have said every advantages and disadvantages for every steps, just read ok. and if not, u can read from the thread itself.

like i said, stick to stock rom, remove any app u dont want, tweak a bit around, done. much better..lols

yes, actually the feeling of battery drain is because u are playing around with it a lot, after a day or two, it should be better.

Purchase? for real..hehe

haha, then i bought MINE too..lols..in the fb group, they are not shy at all..lols
