Journaling is kind of like verifying writes to your phone and keeping a record of it. So no journaling would increase your phones performance by not doing this and some say increase the life of it too.
Do you BONSAI?

oh ok. I'm on the Iron Man rom & the developer said its a branch off of Bonsai

Most of the time journaling can be turned on by doing a Nandroid backup and restoring it. To turn it back off reflash the ROM with no journaling. Improper shut downs (battery pulls without powering completely down until vibrates) may cause many errors and force closes.
Do you BONSAI?

If the developer says nothing about journaling more than likely there is journaling on the rom rite

Not neccesarily. If they don't specify, and they say that they're on EXT4, you should search the thread first, then ask. Journaling on or off doesn't apply to RFS ROMs.

Is there a way to switch between on and off without reflashing the rom.

Make a NAND backup then flash the backup.

[HELP!] Apps keep force closing

Hey, I'm having a little trouble here..four of my apps keep constantly force closing: TW671 keyboard, Google Services Framework, Messaging, and Facebook. I think it might have been caused by overclocking to 1.3 GHz, but I booted back to 1 GHz and no luck! What should I do?!
Okay, so I tried clearing data on the Google Services framework and that fixed everything. But now the market gives me an error! Should I try rebooting again?
OMG HELP!!! NOW EVERYTHING IS FORCE CLOSING! Should I reflash the ROM?
Sorry for my impatience, but SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!
Ya just reflash the rom. What rom are u running?

I pray to god this works....
Was this caused by overclocking to 1.3 GHz. Or by possibly using an app killer...?

I don't think so cuz I ran my phone with the genocide kernel at 1.4 and never had problems. But if ur phone froze and u had to pull the battrey out it could cause data coruption but that's only if if u have jeronling off

If that's the cwm flashable zip, I believe it will not work. If its the cwm zip your referring to, then you must be on di18 or eb13s modem.
I believe you can get the ec05 modem.tar from k0nanes srf thread.

This is partially false. If it's not optimized for srf 1.2 it could break Rom fixes and cause force closes. Mystery explicitly says not to use any other themes than ones ready for it. Please stop spreading bad info. You can tell the ones that should run it well by the fact that they have 6 lockscreens and show an update since the release of 1.2.

My bad I didn't read the srf thread since I'm on i3 gingerbread I didn't realized that srf was so picky on themes right now. my apologies go with a srf theme then like mystery ones he's really good at them.

Dowload the latest one (which is nightly 27 right now).
Clearing data is recommended when moving over to CM7. Also, remember if you go over to MTD, the only way to get back on BML is to ODIN back using a stock .Tar, a PIT file, and having auto reboot "re-partrition" checked.
To take screenshots in CM7, just hold power button and once the power options menu pops up and towards the bottom of the menu u should see the "screenshot" button. Took me a while to find it at first

Zeam launcher is sexy, however, I didn't know the non-scrolling was related to touchwiz, so I will now be downloading zeam.
Cm9 doesn't have scrolling lag nor does any of the newest cm7 nightlies... however there is a flashable to incorporate the smooth scrolling mod in development.
As for the reboots its the gapps that does it and you must wait for the phone to load completely before downloading andinstalling apps and if that doest help then you'll need to wipe data in cwm and reboot

Actually it has lots of lag scrolling up and down on contacts, in manage applications, and anywhere you can scroll through long lists. It's like it is sticky. But great for an Alpha. Seems CM7 is my daily now and CM9 is my toy.

Cm9 is android 4.0.3 so a lot better than other ROM's
However some quirks such as high ram etc. Also there are certain tweaks other roms don't have ie CyanogenMod Settings. I'm not too sure but I have tw, cm7, miui , and cm9 backed up on my phone and jump from them on a day to day basis
