I just extracted the Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk and copied them over using root explorer.
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
I must say this ROM is very nice! After learning zImage and how to use, the install process was simple and the phone FLYS.

Great work!!! ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Edify script is not that difficult, I was able to figure it out during a constant stream of support calls this morning. Read up on it peoples, google is your friend, and all modders will need this very soon as things transition to the new CWM and custom recoveries.

really? tools out for it already? some people will go through a lot of trouble to be lazy, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Ya. Once that actually convert an amend zip to an edify zip for you. Amend2Edify :)

Edify scripts have been in use for a while... Vibrants are just falling behind :/

No "go back" option on some recovery menus

I could be crazy...

I flashed the new zImage. I booted recovery. Went looking around new recovery.

Went into advanced tweaks menu. There is no "go back" option.

Is there a way out without pulling the battery?

NM... I three fingered back into recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You should read the thread Eugene posted the zImage instructions on a little more carefully, its mentioned. To answer you though, its the back button at the bottom of your phone in this recovery.

Logcat - Random Reboot

Recap: Odin'ed to stock, rooted, flashed zimage using neldar's app, booted to recovery, formatted /system /data /dbdata & /cache, and then finally flashed GCR3-update 6.

The lockscreen after first reboot was very strange (the scanning sdcard notification seems stuck, it vibrates once, then vibrates twice) and it resulted in a force close ("Process system is not responding") then finally a random reboot. After this, got a reboot when trying to navigate through the Market. There's a pattern though, it vibrates, then vibrates twice, then random reboot, and it usually occurs after a reboot on the lockscreen and the sdcard reading at the notification bar is frozen. I snatched two logcats while it rebooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
I've not had any issues & the Logcats you provided don't show any errors that would result in to the error you described..

Reboot into recovery ( since you already have the new recovery flashed ) & do a factory wipe & then reflash the Rom...
[Vibrant Android Development] Yogi76:
This is the exact same error that I was having when I was first trying to install this ROM. I finally got it to work correctly by using the following order:

1. Ran Odin using JFD for PDA and PIT 512

2. Ran Odin using KA6 for PDA (or root and use Clockwork to flash KA6)

3. Rooted using SuperOneClick

4. Installed neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher and flashed Dead Horse Reloaded zImage

5. Formatted /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache

6. Flashed GCR3

After doing it in this order, I no longer had the random vibrating/rebooting issues. I reinstalled it multiple times in my quest to get an email.apk working correctly with Exchange 2010 SP1 and this method seemed to reliably get me to a stable install of this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
So for the first time flasher of this, should one only flash the update 6 and that's it? I mean is that 86 MBs the full rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] uurrnn:
Yeah, that's it!

Welcome to the best rom on this forum.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Wow. This has to be the smallest rom size wise that I've ever seen around here. Gonna flash it now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Oh important question, does this till have issues with formating the SD? I can't backup my SD now, so no I can't do it to make sure. I want a final answer please.
[Vibrant Android Development] JediDru:
I had a similar problem the first time I flashed this as well. It would sit for maybe just under 2 minutes on the lock screen from a boot, force close vibrate and go to the boot animation for say 10 seconds and dump me back to the lock screen. That was from a fresh ODIN. It would do this NON STOP. Eventually (I won't say how long I beat my head up against a wall....) I ODIN'd, flashed Malice, and piggy backed off Malice to flash this and I have had ZERO issues. Food for thought.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Possibly a newb question here but..

for update 5 I just put it on my internal sdcard booted into CWM and installed the .zip and everything was fine.

Why is it that you have to use neldars kernel flasher and odin back to stock before applying this. I know odining is just a good idea in general but I figure i'd ask anyways.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Q.. Why Use Neldar App?

A.. So the Kernel ( zImage ) is Flash and Ready to use the Fomatting Command of Ext4! Even if you are running ext4 w/ Voodoo you need to be Formatting before installing..

Q.. Why do I have to ODIN

A.. You Don't, You only have to ODIN back or Use a Voodoo kernel to convert the partition of the Phone Back to RFS!

Hope that helps,

~Eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] bruno.borges:
Do I need to go back to RFS (either through Odin or Voodoo)?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:

Here is his thread:

[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
just a quick question......what is zlmage and how do i update it????
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Thanks! No more random reboots. I "piggy backed" from a froyo build instead of flashing straight from jfd.

I odin'ed to jfd, flashed bi-winning rom (instead of Malice), flashed zimage using neldar's app, formatted, and flashed gc3-update6.

Great build Eugene! I see that VC build is out...might have to switch to that build. I kinda miss me some vanilla since I started out with a G1 =]
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
how do i update zlmage? please respond anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
From OP

~ Comes With the New Dead Horse Reloaded Ext4 Edition ( Based on CwM 3.xx )

~ Before installing it is Recommed you update your zImage from here & formatting /system /data /dbdata & /cache

Download for zImage > http://eb-productions.proboards.com/...lay&thread=307

Follow link, instructions there. Also read instructions for kernel flasher.

Backup sd card to PC (recomended)

install kernel flasher

backup current kernel with kernel flasher

place zImage in folder kernel flasher makes on sd card

flash new zImage with kernel flasher

reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
Thank you good sir^^^^
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
ok i did the tasks for zimage, but after reboot it just sits on the vibrant/samsung screen......what do?
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
You should've un-check the reboot after flash option then booted into the new recovery using 3-button.combo. Not a big deal though, just simply pull battery and re-insert then boot into new recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
ooh ok thanks lol
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Perfectly clear on the odin thing, I was already aware of that though.

As for your answer to the kernel question.

What do you mean "So the Kernel ( zImage ) is Flash and Ready to use the Fomatting Command of Ext4!".

I mean my understanding of kernels was that it needed to be compatible with whatever rom your using at the time. If you flashed that image while your on stock jfd, wouldn't the phone no longer work??

Wouldn't it be the same as trying to use a kernel not compatible with your rom?

Sorry i'm just trying to understand and further my knowledge. If this isn't the place I should be asking this please just say so.

EDIT: I'm gonna have to say my question was answered above!! So you flash the image, then go into recovery mode and install your rom?? If that's it then I get it!!!! yay to me.
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
i have successfully flash this rom.........good job eugene, it's very fast and sexy.....
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
:rolleyes: You flash the zImage ( If you used neldar utility )

reboot into recovery

format :

/system

/dbdata

/data

/cache

Then install the Rom ( not needed if currently running my kernel )

If you Put the zImage into an Update.zip:

Flash the Update.zip

Reboot recovery before Flashing the Rom..

format :

/system

/dbdata

/data

/cache

Then install the Rom

I get that some Don't understand, that's fine... But, don't take the long way around..

The instructions are simple...

Regarding the Kernel:

I assumed everyone is on 2.x by now since TMO is recommending it to everyone.

ODIN to my JK2 or the stock KA6 prior to flashing... However, this wont stop the Kernel from booting into recovery regardless the build, just not might boot the Android OS is all.

Hey Eugene GREAT ROM loving ittt....

I dont have one question tho, I am not sure if this is a bug or anything but the

wallpapers that are in my SD card are very blurry and not properly rendered and when

I set it as my wallpaper same result blurry/bad rendering.

Do anyone have any clue as to why that is?

[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Eugene, Thanks for the quality and innovation that our work always brings

Please keep your Vibrant or we will miss you here.

I would suggest trade in the PS3 for a Nook Color. Great tablet to build for. Open, unbrickable, no Samsung crap, default boots from Ext SD, you can dual boot both int and ext. Lots of fun. And I'd love to see your work there.

Lock Screen Fix

Alright y'all, here is probably my last mod to Eugene's last Vibrant rom.

The attached zip will replace your framework-res and twframework-res apk, fixing the glass (bye bye ghost countdown) and puzzle (fixed the placeholder for the puzzle piece) lock screens, the blueish menu dividers (now grey), and a handful of check boxes and radial buttons that I noticed were still blue, are now nice and ginger.

Wipe cache, dalvik, and flash through recovery. This zip is written with the edify update scripting that is necessary for GCR3-6, will not work with previous versions. (well, the framework will, the zip won't due to the changes in scripting)

Enjoy.

I REALLY hope you aren't leaving the Vibrant scene... None of the other devs work is as professional and polished as yours. I might just have to get rid of my Vibrant with you gone.
[Vibrant Android Development] bbm21:
Agreed
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
No. It is 2.2.1 as noted in the OP. GB is 2.3+. This is a GB clone, which means it is Froyo that has been made to look like GB.

ffc help

So how exactly do we get the ffc to work ? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
How do you flash the old clockwork recovery? I have tried using CWM but no go it is still reading EXT4
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
Same problem. How can I go back to an older (2.5.x) version of CWM?

I am able to flash CWM2.5.1.0 in EB-CWM3.0, but from there I can't flash any roms because of the FS.

I am trying to flash a new Bionix rom, but they have used the old Amend method, so it will fail. I try to flash any other rom and it fails at copy_dir SYSTEM. So I flashed back to 2.5.1.0, then tried to flash a kernel that had voodoo support (categorically worthless) thinking i could run voodoo lagfix, then disable voodoo. BUT when I try to flash that it fails. Any ideas besides odin back?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
Actually was able to fix it by:

If you followed Eugene's instructions to flash the zimage with SGS Kernel Flasher by nelder, then you SHOULD have made a back up of the kernel before you flashed the new kernel.

Install/run SGS kernel flasher, and restore the backup, it will be in the backup folder, when you launch the app.

This method worked like a champ for me, BUT if you dont have a backup of your kernel, when i went to the market to snag sgs kernel flasher from the market I saw an app for voodoo control and another once called voodoo toggle reboot button, you MAY be able to download one of those, enable voodoo, reboot or whatever the app asks you to do, then disable voodoo and reboot, this SHOULD put you back to RFS, then reboot into recovery and flash what ever you need to from there. I HAVEN'T tried that yet, but in theory it should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
Try to install this camera apk
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You can actually reinstall any ext4 (voodoo) compatible kernel with the sgs kernel flasher, simply by placing either the zip that contains your chosen kernel or the zImage file itself into the folder the sgs kernel flasher creates on your internal sd, and using the app from there.

[Vibrant Android Development] Lucky736:
Installed and after unlocking the initial lock screen all I get are a bunch of app force quit notices. Sigh. Have to do a battery pull to reset it, tried this restarting this 3 times now.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
try to restart your phone for the 4th time if wont work just smash the phone .. i would say over the floor sounds good to me =>
[Vibrant Android Development] Lucky736:
Each time it behaved differently thanks. The first time it came up with a normal lock screen, the next was a "Sense Like" lock screen, and the third time it restarted on it's own. This is not to mention the fact that no data icon showed up after the first restart. It's too bad as this was exactly what I was looking for, odd behavior to say the least.

Dood! Im absolutely loving this ROM, its so smooth i Love it! Mad thanks to Eugene for developing <333

By the way does anyone recommend a setCPU setting so that this rom would run faster?
[Vibrant Android Development] anishs:
hey i'm having serious issues with the rom rebooting randomly it mostly happens when the ROM finally connects to my network. I flashed from stock (Tmo 2.1 ROM) following the guide even flashed the updated zImage and formatted all that was listed :/ please help.

Here's how it boots it vibrates once at the nexus boot image, goes to the home screen then after a while does a small vibration and freezes, then it vibrates twice in succession and goes back to the nexus boot image :|

So i flashed the rom again, but this time took out my sim card and external sd and it was fine for a while but when I put the SIM back in to connect to the network it did the same exact reboot. When I sent a text message it did the reboot too..

Then I tried a different kernel (Immortality v2) but that didn't really help at all :/

remember each time i flashed I went back to stock Tmo and also updated the zImage.

I also downloaded the ROM again just to make sure it wasn't a corrupted image.

Please help I love the look of this ROM but I can't get it to be stable...
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
I would suggest downloading the ROM again. Might be something funky there.
[Vibrant Android Development] anishs:
thanks for the suggestion but I already downloaded the ROM three times lool, I found a couple of people in this thread that had the same problem I'll try to follow what they did and I'll report back on what happened

*fingers crossed*
[Vibrant Android Development] Metzenw:
Flashing from 2.1, nine times outta ten causes that problem, flash a 2.2 rom first, then install SGS Flasher, flash the zimage provided, unselect Auto reboot, after you've flashed the kernal, reboot into recovery and you should see the new recovery, do a factory reset and then format /system, wipe cache blah blah. (Warning Factory Reset will Erase your external SD Card) then flash the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] anishs:
alright so what seemed to have helped me is me going back to Tmo stock 2.1 then installin clockwork flashing a 2.2 ROM then installing SGS Kernel Flasher installing the zImage provided and as you said formatting system, cache, data, and dbdata.

Then finally installing this ROM, its a longer process than normal but I have only had that random reboot once and it seems to be stable now, will update my status if I experience random reboots again but I think I'll be good for now
