At the moment I'm running JI6 stock rooted and OCLF. I was thinking of installing the new "Core v1" or Bionix but I just had a couple questions.
After I install a new rom, and a new update comes out, do I have to reflash the new update? Or is there a option in the rom itself to update to the newer version?
This is my first android phone and so far searching has gotten me all the answers I need but this one I have not found an answer to.
Thanks alot!
In short, you will not get an update notification on most if not all custom roms. On the plus side, these new features are usually leaked and implemented into the roms prior to the OTA updates so you really won't need them.

Sorry, I know that I won't receive official updates OTA when a rom is installed.
What I meant was if I were to, for example, flash Bionix 1.3, and a day or two later Bionix 1.4 was released, would I be able to update from the phone itself or would I have to reflash the new rom?

I was just wondering, since I'm pretty much stock with JAC's OC/UV kernel, what the minimum I have to do to get the OTA update?
So far i've only flashed back to the stock kernal via clockwerk, but I'm still rooted (which is stated in the tips thread that it doesn't affect one's ability to receive OTA updates) with the GPS files pulled from the "sneak release" a while back. Other than that, I have launcherpro and mobileAP, while everything else is bone stock.
Is there anything else I have to do? I don't want to odin a completely stock rom because I don't want to deal with the bloatware all over again, but I'm just paranoid that i'm just not getting OTA updates since the announcement was broadcasted 10/7
Thanks in advanced, and I'm sorry if i'm just beating a dead cow
I think you need to have the stock kernel in order to receive the OTA updates

where do I get teh stock kernel and do I use clockwork to flash it??
Mine is having too many issues with the 2.2 ROMs and I seem to be the only one, or one of the few, meaning its my phone... What's the best and less expensive(free?) way to get a new one from t-mobile? I do have the warranty plan as well so I'm already paying... Any help?
Go into the store and explain to them your situation and that you have been installing custom roms and they don't seem to work right. I am sure they will be completely understanding.
You are better off waiting for the official 2.2 release and if that causes problems then you have an official firmware on it that has issues.
Have you ODIN to stock then installed a new ROM?
If the phone is defective and you are paying for the insurance, then I would take it into the store.
If the phone is user error, then I would wait till the official release or go back to stock. No sense in trying to get something for free IF it's user error. (Brick)
thanks for the quick reply, Guess I'll wait, stock gives no problems so hopefully official stock 2.2 won't if it does I get a new one thanks
When flashing new ROMs on the phone I have had the best success to odin back to JFD first and then flash the new ROM. Currently running the Deodexed JK6 and it is running smooth.

I currently have Bionix Final R1 custom rom installed on my Vibrant and just yesterday I got the notice that Froyo is available for update from T-Mobile. Am I able to take the update with the custom rom installed or do I have to flash back to stock then update to Froyo?
Best bet is back to stock.

Thanks for the reply.
Would I also have to unroot the phone to make sure the OTA Froyo update works?
No probably not, the update was released with mini kies so it should update no matter what
Only issue I think I'm facing is that it is only letting me postpone the update. I would prefer to just get the latest Bionix V that runs on 2.2 instead of getting the stock 2.2. Thoughts?
Would I be ok doing a data wipe/factory reset on my phone then doing the OTA update or flashing a different rom?
Maybe you wanna try Bionix v1.2.1 before you go to OTA Froyo update
Skip official and go with bio v. Why would anyone want stock???

From what I can understand I can just flash the new Bionix w/o doing any wipe, I just flash on top right?

I am not too familiar with R1, back then I was using Axura. Only thing I suggest is if you have a lag fix disable 1st, then you should be able to flash right over it since Bionix wipes. I THINK you have to disable the old Voodoo version as well but either way do it to be safe.
Im downgrading to 2.11.605.5 , I currently have 2.11.605.9. After doing this and using revolutionary I was not sure if I will still be on 2.11.605.5 after I root? If so, will I have to flash a rom that has 2.11.605.9 built in it? And if I stay stock rooted will I keep getting messages about an update from Verizon? I really want to stay stock rooted, but can flash a custom rom if there is one that is a stock / debloated type of Sense rom.
Anyone? Thanks.
You will get the update nag unless you install a rooted OTA update version of the stock ROM. I know those are available, quick search yields a couple versions, some fully stock, some with tweaking to remove bloat.
Take a look at what's available, choose and flash one after backing up your current setup.
The radios are a different story. Their performance varies by geography and device. Again, search and read up on them and flash to see what works for you.
Ymmv from that of others.

Hi there guys!!! Thank you all in advance for all the great info and roms and tweaks this site has been providing me since my HTC Desire days.
So my question is this.I've rooted my phone.Then did a nandroid of my rooted stock rom. And then tried a couple of roms and now I'm back to the rooted stock rom(don't ask me why...maybe because I like all that 'jing bang' ). So now that I'm back on my rooted stock rom will I be eligible for OTA upgrades?? Or do I need to COMPLETELY return to stock taking the Odin route???

I believe you will have problems with OTA updates, being rooted - they may download, but fail to install. Full Odin-able releases tend to appear at the same time as OTA updates, so if you want to keep root, I'd tend to use Odin/Mobile Odin to update,
Thnx a ton mate.
I think I'll be keeping a close eye on the official firmware release thread.
