This would be a great move... I kinda like alot of the TW features...just not the lag !
Hi having problems with getting the tar file. Have the Winna file manger down loaded the voodoo beast 5 but will not unzip to a tar file.Its making a regular file folder with META-INF folder and a system folder. What am i messing. Thanks
Altered beast alpha 5 is meant to be flashed with clockwork recovery not with odin
Streetlightman gave some good instructions
This is for anyone who has any questions about flashing this ROM. Since I too am a noob, I feel like I should give back to the noob community so these amazing developers can focus more on working on their ROMs.
Anyway, if you are coming from Stock ED1/ED2, Altered Beast 1/2/3/4 do this (it would help to make a folder to put everything in):
1. Download ODIN from here
2. Download Stock Rooted ED1 from here. If the file downloaded is .tar.tar extract this .tar (using WinRAR) and you should get a .tar.md5 file. If it is already .tar.md5, leave it.
3. Download Altered Beast A5. DO NOT EXTRACT IT.
4. Download the PBJT voodoo kernel (Well I would at least). Get it from here. This is the imnuts kernel from 6-2. Not the overclocking kernel.
5. Download Clockwork Recovery Mod from here. Again, this is imnuts CWM from 6-11
6. If you are rooted, I would back up your apps and stuff using Titanium Backup.
7. If you have AB 1/2/3/4 or any other ROM/kernel with lagfix, disable that now. To do this, boot into CWM and disable it. Reboot the phone and it will convert it back to RFS. BE PATIENT, this will take a while.
8. Create two folders on your SD card called "ROM to flash" and "Kernel to flash".
9. Put Altered Beast V5.zip in the ROM to flash folder and the PBJT.zip file into the Kernel to flash folder.
10. Flash Stock ED1 Rooted with ODIN. Here's how:
10a. ENSURE VOODOO IS DISABLED!
10aa. Ensure you have the correct USB drivers installed. If you ever used your phone with your computer then you probably do.
10b. Open Odin
10c. Shut down your phone and take the battery out
10d. Plug in your usb cable to the BACK of your (desktop)computer. If you are using a laptop ensure the power is plugged into the laptop.
10e. Now plug in the other end of the usb to your phone. While pluggin it in, make sure you are holding down the volume down button. Hold it down and plug it in and you'll see Andy digging a hole and a screen that says downloading.
10f. In ODIN, you should see a yellow box now that says COM something.
10g. Now that you have a yellow box on your screen, click the PDA button and select the .tar.md5 file you extracted from step 2.
10gg. For me, I seemed to get better results if I had my phone plugged in for over a minute without doing anything. IDK if this is true or anything but it worked for me.
10h. Once you select the .tar.md5, you can ensure that you selected PDA and click start. ODIN will do it's magic.
10i. Hopefully it worked, and if it didn't, you just bricked your phone. Just kidding, just keep trying, it'll go through eventually.
10j. Once you see a green box that says pass, you can unplug your phone and put the battery in and boot it up.
10k. If you for some reason end up in Samsung recovery just hit Reboot and it'll boot up into Stock Rooted ED1.
11. You now need to accept the update to EE4. It should be automatically pushed to you.
12. Let it update and once it reboots, you'll be on EE4. YAY!
13. Once in EE4, one would now flash CWM. Crack open ODIN again and follow the same instructions but this time, select the CWM .tar.md5 file using the PDA button.
14. Flash with ODIN and disconnect when done.
15. Reboot into CWM. To do this, hold Vol up + Home + power. When the Sammy logo comes up release power.
16. When CWM comes up go to install .zip from SD. Navigate to where you put the KERNEL.
17. Select the Kernel and install it. It shouldn't take too long. You don't need to reboot.
18. Now for everyone's favorite part which is wiping the data. Go to the first page in CWM. Hit Wipe Data. This takes a few minutes. Once its done, hit Wipe Cache. This is quick. Don't reboot yet
19. Now, for everyone's real favorite part, installing AB V5. Go to install from .zip again. Navigate to where you put the ROM and select it and install it. This doesn't take too long but be patient.
20. Once it finishes, reboot and you should be running AB V5.
21. You can enable voodoo using an app DroidXCon put in called Voodoo control.
Good luck!
Hey, just gave you and gunnermike a donation. Mike got more, lol He needs a Charge so come on people - Development cost money! Don't be stingy with the dinero!
Thanks again guys.
Hey DroidXcon...did you implement that cool feature in messaging where if you swipe right it dials that person number or swipe left to enter message!? just found that by accident! lol pretty slick actually
I reflashed the rooted ed1 and started over!
I keep failing at this step. I redownloaded New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5
13. Once in EE4, one would now flash CWM. Crack open ODIN again and follow the same instructions but this time, select the CWM .tar.md5 file using the PDA button.
14. Flash with ODIN and disconnect when done

Can someone please step me through booting into CWM and disabling lagfix?? Sorry for the elementary question...THX guys!
quick boot app in tray > boot in to recovery.
from there you can select voodoo and disable lagfix on next boot.
reboot (it takes a few min) and there ya go.
Just put v5 on my phone, every thing is working great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank again for all your work gentlemen.

Dont worry man, just keep trying. It failed for me a bunch of times too. Try downloading the file again. Make sure you run ODIN with admin rights (it can't hurt right). Make sure everything is closed when running the program (like AV and web browsers). Reboot your computer. Make sure you are using a USB port with enough power (on the back of your computer or if you're on a laptop, make sure it's plugged in).
Sometimes with ODIN you just need to fight your way through it, just keep trying, it'll work eventually
1. Turn your phone off.
2. Hold down the VOL UP button + the HOME button and then the POWER button.
3. When the Samsung logo pops up, release the power button
4. Once in CWM, you should see an option for voodoo and then you can select it using the power button (its like the OK button).
5. Now you should see an option for disabling lagfix. Do that.
6. Reboot (if you can't figure out how, just pull the battery)
7. Let it convert back to RFS. DON'T TOUCH IT.
Good Luck!
What did you flash using CWM? Was it from here?
Either way, you should still be able to get into that screen. Make sure you have the battery out. Hold down the vol down button and then plug in the USB and it should happen. Can you verify you are doing this?
I did the exact same thing and had the exact same problem. Odin looked like it got ~70% done then failed...
Try this: Open Odin. Pull battery, hold volume down button and plug phone into computer. Should then be in download mode. BEFORE flashing via the PDA button, put the battery back in. Then flash. I failed many times in a row before trying this and it worked the first time.
