so you need to wipe everything

Wipe data factory reset, then flash, then since you still in recovery go to advance, wipe Dalvick Cache, and fix permissions. That should work with no problems.:cool:

is it from the light version that the calls get cut off for some people or is it after the med/large ?? (if that makes sense)

i tested on the light version and it kept ringing :) havent tested since i flashed med/large though

Since there are alot of experienced users here can anyone suggest a voice mail application that works that doesn't send messages to your GMail? Or is that a no go still with gingerbread?
[Vibrant Android Development] CBung:
So essentially go back to JFD and start over?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
If bootloaders installed then move large/full rom to sdcard. Boot to recovery wipe data factory reset and flash. If no bootloaders again place large full rom on sdcard and use rom manager selecting wipe data.

You're voicemail goes to gmail???

Confused.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
If you going to reflash, and got the GB bootloaders just do what I described before "wipe data factory reset/reflash with the updated ROM (I prefer the Full version), then after reflashed go to Advance in recovery, wipe Dalvick cache and fix permissions, and you are done. Enjoy this beatiful ROM.

AngryGPS.apk

Are you guys renaming AngryGPS.apk to bak and then back to AngryGPS.apk?

I notice I had mine still set to AngryGPS.bak.

And I am getting 7 sats out of 11 most of the time.

Sometimes it doesn't see it and I have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes for it to get started.

I just changed it back to AngryGPS.apk and will try that after leaving work to see if that works better.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Have you tried going outside and leaving it on for about 10 minutes?
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
When you set up your google voice account on your phone it asks you if you want to set up your voicemail through google voice or skip.

[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
That apk comes named "AngryGPS.apk.bak" by default, I have not touched it and my GPS works like a charm 10 of 12 sat locked in S. Fla. and maps works pretty darn good also.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Angrygps is what used to be lbstest mode so unless you need to change settings I haven't found a use for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
So the apk can be deleted completely with no effects to the GPS?
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Cool. I will leave it at Bak... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Thanks EB. I will leave it alone then.

Try to flash the GPS fix for Gingerbread in progress by Birgertime thread. But honestly you don't need to do that mine is working perfect. The first lock took around 15 minutes but after that time is taking like 5 seconds to lock in place with 9 out of 11 birds, with 20 ft. of accuracy.

[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
I'm not really sure as I haven't dive into a GB rom yet, but from reading, I think this may be the issue (or not).

[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
you guys that have the rainbow issue, its as simple as flashing the gb bootloader with odin. If not you will not be able to see your recovery. It took me a bunch of tries, but finally got it too work. All you do is D/L the GB boot loader uncheck all the options in Odin select the pda file (gb bootloader) then flash. Hold the power button down to reboot and viola! rainbow screen fixed!
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
Thats called the rainbow..... dont worry thats normal.. go to the apps and themes section and look for the thread called BOOTLOADERS and download the GB tar file ONLY THAT ONE and use pdin and flash the tar file with odin and thats gona get rid of it..... read the OP section.. thats why EB posted all of that.. so people would know what to do in case they dont know what there doing.... and ots even easy for a noob to understand what he/she must do when trying to flash this rom... if you meed more onformation go to the OP section......
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

OK, flashed last night and here are the results:

1. I noticed that TW3 did not have 5 icons in the dock and there was no way to change it, so I flashed TW4 in the OP.

2. TW4 did not replace TW3 although it appeared to be partially working. I had settings galore, but when I choose them (like having 5 icons in the dock), they would not save. A reboot did not fix that problem. Moving TW3 to SD card resulted in being stuck at the Android in Space Boot animation.

3. Could not enable voodoo, on first flash with CWM, had to wipe/factory reset and reflash. However, when enabling voodoo with the voodoo app, only the first option would convert. Ext4 /system would not-message-not enough space on patition, blah, blah, blah... Can someone explain this one to me. If I'm good to go without having Ext4 /system also converted to ext4, then that's good.

4. This one I think is my own noob fault. I choose to wipe in CWM, and guess what...IT DID! Not a problem until I realized my Titanium folder was gone. Luckily I had a copy on the external SD from the 16. I had to make a backup first with the new TB (set the preferences to 7 backups first), and then was able to open the one on the external SD using Root Explorer and copy all the contents to the new one on the internal SD. Then I restored all missing app minus their data. Went back and selectively restored data for necessary apps to me. Old version of Buddies Now restored fine, but FeedsandUpdates and Daily Briefing would not.

5. As always I went to the Market first and updated all my apps that showed up. This was very few and alarmed me since my TB folder had been wiped. I remember way back when it could take a day for all the apps you've ever downloaded to show up in the Market, but I could not trust to wait. That's why I did step 4 (PANICKED)

6. Had no problem getting Titanium to work, but I always remember to re-download the free version after flashing. For some reason the free version is never there after flashing and TB won't work right until you reapply it.

7. I came directly from Simply Galaxy 2.2.1, flashing the light package with Rom Manager, then flashing the medium and full versions in Recovery afterwards.

After all that, I am totally happy except for the lack of 5 icons in my dock. I am thinking that to get TW4 to flash correctly maybe the current version needs to be totally deleted first while using another Launcher to complete the process? I really don't know what went wrong with that part. I needs my 5 icon dock, man,lol.:confused:

EDIT: BTW, the new Swype beta is even better! The new way of choosing possible words makes so much more sense!
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
That's the issue.

Here is what I did coming from non GB.

1. Load GB boot via odin.

2. Load rom via odin.. see OP

3. Load light via recovery and wait 15 min. reboot. then reboot into recovery

4. Load Full via recovery.

May not be the best steps but worked for me. GPS is working etc.

simply galaxy

YOU and YOU, both out behind the Vibrant woodshed. EB, cut me a switch, lol!

Well, I hope at least you've both learned the wisdom of READING FIRST before flashing. Eggnoodle and the others are right. You have the same rainbow problem that's been talked about for, oh, I don't know... MONTHS!:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
Question regarding steps 3 & 4....

What is "light" ? Is it Simply_Honey_3.8_CWM_Light.zip???

What is "Full" ??
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
On the launchers. In the app drawer click settings then edit, now drag any app to the dock. Works for both TW3 and 4. In TW4 after setting your preferences go to the bottom of the preference screen and click save.

On ext4 you may need to Odin stock jfd or ka6 first to get the partitions right. Also make sure your voodoo folder doesn't contain a disable file. It should convert on fist boot if you don't have a disable file there. Some have reported the same and Odin to stock seems to be the answer. Of course its optional and if your phone feels snappy in your hand then don't worry about it.

Edit: If using TW3 a second click of edit will fill in the empty space that was just created.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes and there are three versions. All of which are now full roms one built on the last so its only needed to choose what features you need or want. Most will do fine with the medium package.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

Well, shut my mouth, thanks! Ill wait a few days then try again with TW4, need to have the home button in the center as well as the default Home Page, but this will do for now! It is really fast and snappy. I know it doen't mean much but got 1514 in Quadrant whatever my filesystems may be, lol.:D

Figured I'd give it a shot. WELL DONE. I like it. GPS is spot on. Has me within 20 meters from inside my flat. I really like the theme too! (Maybe think about including Titanium Backup, just to save folks time?)

Thanks a lot!
[Vibrant Android Development] NinoAl:
Found a quick work around for people who is using touchwiz 4.0 that freezes after save and restart...i downloaded adao task manager and kill touchwiz to save and restart the launcher...so after changing your preferences use adao task manager to restart it (other task killer will probably work too) and it'll save the prefernces you've made...i tried the stock task manager to restart it by clearing ram but that also locks up the phone...this way you don't have to reboot everytime you make changes to your launcher
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Haven't seen you in these parts in awhile and I thought you were strictly Team Whiskey.

[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
just to be clear use the .512 for the pit file and the downloaded simply honey 196mb zip for the pda?
[Vibrant Android Development] audifanatic518:
Yes, recovery mode is a problem for me too... I mean, I'm in it, but I can't see ****...The only reason I know I'm in recovery mode is because of the red horizontal lines across the top half of the screen
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
To be able to see recovery you have to flash the GB bootloader. Follow instructions on the bootloaders thread and flash via ODIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
flash the bootloaders (but if you didnt already know that, its probably best to leave it)

dont really need to see it though, ive done everything without it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] king-killjoy:
Strange issue idk if its rom related or not. I'm on 3.6 and ready to go to 3.8 only to find my usb is randomly turning on and off and pc doesn't reconize it when it does blink on. And it also acts like usb is pluged in even when its not. It won't let me un check some settings boxes saying must unplug first. If i tap it a few times i get it when it thinks it's out. Was using t959 drivers tried i9000 no luck. have had no prob b4 and worked on 3.5 fine. No new damage to my knowledge. The phone charges with no issues even pluged into pc it charges without interuption. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Guys one more time unless you choose to flash bootloaders you can't see recovery and some aspect of the graphics will occasionally be messed up.

I removed most references to the "rainbow" from the OP because we've been at this almost 3 months now and I assumed by now everyone was aware. Didn't realize we had stragglers coming to the party this late.

Check out the bootloader thread and read the whole OP there. Be aware of any risks.
[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
Let me get these instructions right before I continue - coming from Trigger 3.2 froyo

-1. Disable any Lagfix.

- 2.Download - http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z

- 3. Flash via ODIN.

PDA: drop in Simply 3.8 Heim.tar file

PIT: use 512PIT file

Do I need to check/uncheck any of the options - Re-partition, Auto

reboot and F. reset time?

- 4. Let phone boot. Wait 15 minutes and reboot.

Should the GB bootloader be apply before/after flashing the rom?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
think you have to do the odin package then the light package, unless im mistaken

then medium or full

dont think it matters, people have done the bootloaders both ways i think
[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
What do you mean by the odin package? flash back to stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
All my pictures are gone. anyway to get em back?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
the odin package

http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z

then the light (i think, not 100% though)

http://www.multiupload.com/KDOCZNO2IN

then medium

http://www.multiupload.com/IIHLJRWZMH

or full

http://www.multiupload.com/O5C36DMUOT

i just did it the old longer way but found it easier

going to 3.3 then 3.8 then med/large with rom manager, no odin or recovery needed

[BOOTLOADERS]CUSTOM Gingerbread Bootloaders for Vibrant - UPDATED [22/06/11]
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Simply ODIN to stock, flash bootloaders from ODIN, and then any one package of your choice (Light/Med/Full) using recovery. You no more need to flash each package seperately...
[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
Thanks! that's what I thought. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
All the CWM packages are now full complete roms each building on the last. Just choose the one that suits you.

The Odin package is small. Its there if coming from Frito without bootloaders installed or if you end up in a bootloop for some reason. After you flash it you don't need to proceed unless you want features of the medium or large. In which case you only need flash one.

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The only thing that may wipe your SD is coming from Miui/cm7 and Odin to stock. Our Odin pack only wipes partially and our cwm script is very specific.

That's why its always best practice to Always make backups.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm a newb, this is my first time flashing any ROM, period...gotta start learning somewhere, ya know

[Vibrant Android Development] audifanatic518:
Give this a shot...worked wonders for me a few months ago. I had taken the SD card from my old LG flip phone and put it in my Vibrant not too long ago. I formatted the card and even wrote some new files to the card before realizing I had stuff on there. It recovered at least 95% of my stuff:

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Its built into the GB browser. If somebody doesn't change it first I'll look into it if I find time.
