Today i decided to flash serendipity...very cool...then i proceeded to install 3 different kernel managers before i got 1 to work..i flashed a new kernel so i could overclock and when i reset my phone it get stuck on the at&t screen and some ***** keeps repeating "converting things and politicians to optimize a extensive form" or something very close to that (its a digitized female voice) Can some one help me? I can get into downloading mode but i am a nebie at odin so i was able to run odin and this is what the output window said

You flashed Serendipity correctly. Those voices are Voodoo Lagfix doin' it's thing, and it's all part of the first installation process for that ROM. As a future note, when you do install a custom ROM, be patient for the first boot. It's completely normal for a phone to take 5+ minutes for the first time after a flash.

I'm totally unclear about the rest, because you didn't do a great job of describing your problem and what exactly you did after flashing Serendipity.

After flashing serendipity i wanted to overclock...So i got various kernel managers(until i got one that worked) so i could flash my kernel...Its weird because i was playing with serendipity....it didnt do that on the initial boot...its seems like the kernel flash is the one that caused this?

Also serendipity already has an oc kernel, just flash the rom and get setcpu app and set it up1200 max 200 min, and you should be good
