I have a very basic understanding of what he is doing, but he has evaluated existing and created other tweaks that enable smoother multi-tasking, performance, or a little of both according to your prefernces. They also tease a little more battery life out of our phones. Choose the tweaks for TalonDev which works for our version from Simone201.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
Thanks man! Which one do you use? 40, 50 or 60 mb version?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

I went with 50. He just started that in the last two or three versions (multiple options). I'm still on 1.9.1, skipped 1.9.2, have 1.9.3 downloaded, but he's probably already on 1.9.4 or five. He moves fast. My battery doesn't have time to recalibrate.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
EB Love your work. SH is a great rom. But what your saying to this fellow whos internal got wipped is just not true my friend.

I was on CM7 nightlies.. Odined to stock. booted to download and followed the flash instructions from the OP for coming from CM7

Install Instructions Coming From Froyo OR ECLAIR(CM7/MIUI ODIN TO STOCK FIRST)

- 1. Disable any Lagfix.

- 2.Download - http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z This is the light version with hardly any apps and only one keyboard and 4 lock screens.

- 3. Flash via ODIN. USE 512PIT FILE.

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

- 5. Enjoy. You may now proceed to the MediumOR Large.

and My internal SD card got wiped.

I do have backups on my comp for when these things happen, but it is happening.

Hey EB, would something like this be possible to implement into Simply Honey? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQUr9v76wrI

Seems pretty cool!
[Vibrant Android Development] hurleyint2000:
every time i ODIN the light version it kills my recovery (stock or CWM) and I get pixel static and no way to see the recovery screen...what gives?
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Did you remember to change the bootloader?
[Vibrant Android Development] hurleyint2000:
probably not..havent modded this phone since MIUI....how would i do that...and which ones do I use? LOL I had no idea this was so complicated...My sensation is a breeze compared to this dinosaur..please be as specific as you can since im completely out of touch with the new bootloader and if i have to odin back to 2.2 eugene I will looks like im missing one more step..bootloop..disable lagfix then bootloop on startup "film" going to reflash with voodoo off from start

Here is a link to the Gingerbread bootloaders. Please read the OP carefully, and make sure you back up anything you want to save to your PC.

I just flashed the latest, 1.9.4 with the 50 LMK addon. Wow!:D I'm getting H and 3g way out here where I usually only get edge!(The 3g addon):eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I installed the 1.9.3 50mb one, and it caused lag...weird....maybe cause I already have scripts running in init.d, and it conflicted? Cause I didn't have lag before installation.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
hey eb, any chance of incorporating the recent 16 lock mod on simply honey v6 final? i know you're probably about to move on to the TMOSGSII...but your vibrant ROMs are simply perfect.....i took the plunge in june, and never looked back. by far the most stable GB rom on the vibrant. i like Samsung ROMs because of their added functions, and never really trusted CM7 or MIUI....

here's the link to the mod:

Symply GSII 16 locks

thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

That is possible because I saved my init.d to SD card first in case I wanted to go back then deleted the folder in system then flashed. It was too difficult to figure out which ones could possible clash. Actually Pikachu too a look now that I think about it and reported that I should remove the AcidTweak. So I just deleted everything to start clean.

Check this: Do you have the version for Talon, if you are lagfixed are you using the remount script with script manager set to run as root and at every boot, if on rfs don't use the remount, do not use the patched libsqlite addon as it causes lag with Talon even Simone201's version, if you are using bullet then use the 'others' version. Of course starting with version 1.9.4 because of those on Mui/cm7 who could not edit screenstate scaling he has made just two versions and everthing else is now addons. Again if you are lagfixed use the remount script (a must) the lagfix resets all the values to default so the remount must be run.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I appreciate the help! But with the tweaks and configurations I have running, it's already pretty smooth. If I experience any slowdown

in the near future, I'll give it a shot. Till then, i'm happy with what i'm running. Is there really a noticeable difference? Cause i'm not even overclocking or undervolting.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Yes! But the concept behind these tweaks is different. They smartly close unused apps to maintain smooth performance over time. Where you notice it is when opening and closing apps, multitasking, the battery life and for me the strength of my 3g signal. Sometimes an app you were using is closed when you go back to it because another app needed the memory but Pikachu doesn't care as they reopen immediately. I can surf the web where I live without connecting to my wifi. The market opens and loads faster than ever even with just one bar of 3g. I can update over

3g at home without it taking forever.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rareutu:
Wondering if people have had this problem, and/or resolved it.

I came from toxi8, and followed the instructions in the OP to flash SH (light version). Since i was unable to get to Download mode because of rainbows, i did some research and flashed the custom bootloaders found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

Well that worked, and i was able to access download mode and flash the full SH5.1

But now i can't flash the Add Ons for pull down animations, and, i assume all sorts of other things i haven't discovered yet. The error message is a little long : Amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted.

Now, i'm thinking that flashing the original update.zip may work, but i don't want to go back to rainbows!

Oh, and in recovery the volume buttons are working in reverse. Like, i'll press down but the "cursor" will move up?!!

Thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No. Dont go thinking. CWM recovery 3 and higher uses a different scripting. Older zip will either need to be modified to accomodate or you can flash the bullet kernel which has CWM 2.5 and can handle both the old and new scripting structure. Basically all newer phones will be moving to edify scripting unfortunately the Vibrant was left out of the loop.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rareutu:
Ouch. Well, thanks for clarifying that sir. Since flashing an earlier bullet kernel will likely invalidate the kernel tweaks and affect the performance of this awesome rom, would you as the author of this rom consider it worth it just to be able to have the additional coolness of the drop down animations?

I can definitely live without them, though i'm mad curious!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Honestly the drop down animations are only kind of cool for like the first day or two before you get bored with them. Also they do consume battery slightly more. If you do want to check it out I suggest getting SGS Kernel Flasher from the market (free). With that you can flash the bullet kernel from the app which will allow you to get into recovery and flash whatever packages you'd like. After you can again use SGS kernel flasher to flash back to the Talon SH kernel (You can use the rom package as your kernel choice, youll see in the app.) Good Luck.

The second option is to get a program called amend2edify and follow it's course of action.

Thank you so much for this!

We finally have a stable tw4 mod for simply honey!

Stay tuned for a simply bloody version!

Update: spoke too soon, freeze and reboot within 20 minutes. :( I'm just gonna stick with using qq launcher pro.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
no usb...now problems w/infinite reboot.

Coming from 5.0 and Bullet I installed 5.1 Full that has Talon SH Kernel.

I have had this problem for a while where my USB doesn't work. Device not recognized...many systems/os/cords later I have determined it must be the port.

Luckily I had simply honey installed and I could just do the easy update and have something updated.

I installed it once, no wipe with Clockwork and it booted up fine. I did it again once I had finalized all my backups, selected all the wipes...but of course not the back up. I have not had a problem since 3.something when I first started using honey. It rebooted installed and now the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. Samsung screen, Talon loads..repeat...

I downloaded : "Full: http://www.multiupload.com/WWYGBJAS10 10 Lock Screens"

So my options are this. I have an sd card, and an sd card reader in a laptop. Can I get a file to fix this on this sd card and read it from recovery?

If so, what should I get, use download? I have to go back to my tmo Dash...from the vibrant to the dash...I'm going to die!!!

Help!

Many thanks

Nick
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I don't see how that would be helpful as everything is flashed from the internal SD and not the external. You could try connecting to your PC if you use Linux and the phone should show up as just another drive. Then you can copy-paste anything you want saved. As far as getting out of the bootloop, I think the issue was the Talon kernel but am not sure. It was a while ago. You can use Odin to flash bullet and then see if it boots. First try disabling lagfix if you are to see if it reboots then use Odin. If neither works then start completely over with Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
no usb port.

Linux, odin, all out of the picture.

I can't plug my phone into a computer and get anywhere because themini usb port is bad! =(

Thanks anyways.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
So you didn't make a backup before you tried to upgrade?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You should be able to just boot into recovery and disable voodoo and then reboot. Other option is to boot recovery and flash an older rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
no back up..

I know I'm a fool for it, but I have been upgrading from 3.something and have not had a single problem so a back up wasn't even in my mind.

I have had a really bad past few days. Car has till today to pass emissions. I've cleared 3 check engine lights and they just keep popping back up. Of course my phone, my love, my baby died on me yesterday.

UGH!!

So, I disabled voodoo and lag fix, it showed the kernel load screen, stopped at the end and talked to me! Imagine my joy! It did its thing, reboot and gets to the fancy black and white android load movie. Which is really neat. I liked it... sadly its all I see. It just loops the movie over and over now.

I let it loop for a good 20 minutes and gave up. Booted into recovery cleared data/factory reset reinstalled. No go, re checked lagfix/voodoo off. Cleared dalvikre flashed and again, nothing. Some times the screen would go black and the hard buttons would be lit and that's all. I have not heard it talk to me since the first time. Anything can I reset to get what ever it was doing to do again?

We made it closer.... Thanks a bunch cause at least I think there is hope now!

Anything else I can do?

Thanks again!

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Sorry, didn't realize it was the mini usb that was bad. The only other option is to replace the mini usb. I remember seeing some time back that someone did this. I've got problems too. I've been enjoying the lull in development of SH to play around with different system tweaks before I flash to the latest. Now my phone is unstable and the instability always comes back. My luck has run out. Now I have to reformat and use Odin to start over.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
I went to a local cellphone repair shop asked them to replace my mini USB port but all they could was trailer the power side so I could recharge the phone, motherboard connections were screwed and the board needed replacement.

After securing for a while I trooped over akaskriller video for replacing the motherboard and at the end of the video he said contact him to get a vibrant motherboard. so long story short I get it in the mail tomorrow.

Pm me if you want his email
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Simply Honey

Looked into this out of curiosity and it would not be a simple fix if you were not handy at soldering. Found several guides for other phones but I don't think its worth the trouble. The replacements are cheap, but who is going to sell you just one? Then you've got to get the right one. Best bet is to buy a broken Vibrant and replace the whole motherboard if that is an option for you.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
wow was I lucky!

some how, some way. I don't know. But when I bought my phone I got it with or through some promotion that caused my Samsung warranty to be extended! My Tmobile warranty ended Nov. 22 and I got a message about it then so I knew I was shooting in the dark calling Samsung.

The guy also said that because of the Vibrant I got, it qualified me for expedited service! 2 day shipping, 2 day service, 2 day shipping.

So, I guess the moral of the story is. If you are having usb port problems of such that you are looking into soldering then just call Samsung. These problems started months ago and if I had just sent it in, I wouldn't be walking 30 min to and 30 min back to work in what they say may be the worst chicago winter in a while with out an mp3 player. I have an mp3 cd player...but its not the same.

Thanks everyone! These mobile devices are my life blood and it sucks to be broke and having car issues. I'd kill for ICS, and now it looks like I might get it.

I have to say that Simply Honey is the S$%&. I'm glad that it was Simply Honey I was stuck with! Battery life was BAD. But I don't know if that's the rom or a battery issue resulting from the usb port and charging.

Thanks again

Nick

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I haven't managed to get JVT flashed yet. I love the tweaks, but JVT may not need them. If you find your phone lags when multitasking, give them a shot-the lower lmk. If you want performance over multitasking, use one of the higher lmk's. Pika has explanations on the original thread in the i9000 forums. I finally got the su binarys updated in 3.8, now I need to flash V6 again to see if it sticks. I got the phone and contacts to take, but not the status bar or rooting. Seems something is out of whack with busybody too. The install script always says its installing but Titanium and su update app both say its not.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

Gaaaaah! Have i missed something! I've got everything up and running right, I'm rooted, have phone and contacts. But still no pull-down! It's like not having arms! It was a pain to get to this point, I've read back and haven't seen this. Hmmm, maybe I should try flashing one from the OP.:eek:

EDIT: Duh, that won't work as those are just animations. Where's my status bar and pull-down?

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Now that I'm on it I have to say this is really as snappy as any of those tweaks, so far. I should wait since I haven't restored all 242 apps, and I can't test performance with games since I can't play anything harder than Hungry Shark, lol. It is really fast, though. I don't know how to proceed from here. I guess I'll leave it alone for a while then reflash to see if the status bar suddenly appears.:confused:

Soooo. I have been using simply honey v6 beta since it has come out with no problems at all I love the rom everything was perfect... the other day my son was playing with my phone (he's only 2) and managed to get it into recovery mode and mess some **** up soo I restored an old back up of 5.1 I had... so this morning I flashed. V6 beta again and noticed a few of my apps were missing .. no big deal went to titanium to restore them annnddd. It's saying my phone isn't rooted any more... so I tried root explorer just to see and it's saying the same thing too and I have no idea what happened.. and don't really know what to do to fix it... anyone have any ideas... i would appreciate any help thank u guys
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
Z4Root by RyanZA is an app that could help. might not be on market but should be searchable on Xda ... also, I may be way off but, update superuser app

I forget what causes that but re rooting should help.. also go and enable non market apps..... settings. application. then unknown sources
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Simply Honey

Just went through the nightmare so it is fresh in my mind. Z4Root should be tried first, but for me even that didn't work. So I went back to the medium version of SH after Odining back to stock (read back through the thread from Nov 15th) That gave me a working superuser and root. From there I updated Superuser and used it to properly update the SU binarys (they wouldn't update without that step). Then I flashed V6, but I don't have a status bar or pull down as of yet. Still trying to figure that one out. I'm wondering if I need to flash Stock JVT, then do another flash of V6 to get the status bar back. I've tried toggling permissions, reflashing serveral times all to no effect. Looking in /system/app I see that a few things have their permissions set differently. Those few things are rwxr-xr-x. Every other thing is rw-r--r--. Also looking into titanium I see an app called 'Status Bar 2.3.4 that is not installed and will not restore. I'm grasping at straws. I've had a few FC's on the Browser and XDA apps, the widgets won't survive a reboot and there is an anomaly in the screen rendering for a few things, but everything else seems to be working fine.:)

EDIT: Looking into one of the pull down animations, I see they are installed by replacing the systemui.apk. Maybe I should play around with those permissions? Anyone?

EDIT: Hmmm, just rebooted and all the widgets are fine.:confused:

EDIT: Maybe it's there but I just can't see or access it? That graphic anomaly I was talking about?

EDIT: Nope, the anomaly is a result of the missing status bar.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Simply Honey

Success! It was the systemui.apk!!! I downloaded Simply Stock and pulled the .apk from there then pushed it manually, reboot=status bar!:D Old fashioned detective work pays off again!!!:p
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The one from v5 should also work and give you the simply honey theme back.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I'll put it in a Frankenstein and use it to reflash when I inevitably screw this one up, lol. I've noticed that it takes two reboots to get the status bar back if you reboot for any reason. This is really nice! I'm gonna skip three mochas and send you a donation. Bad economy hit me a few months ago but I'll bite the bullet.

EDIT: I remember thechosenone was looking for a working browser. The one from Simply Stock works just fine. Forgot to mention that the systemic.apk from Simply Stock arranges the apps in the app drawer alphabetically!

Ok so i havnt checked vibrant forum section in ages and god it changed alot. Miui cm7... Gingerbread.lol

Anyways my friend wants me to make her vibrant faster. Shes running stock 2.1 i know how to root and familiar with odin.

But i wanted to save all the stuffs on my sd card then put it on hers and flash everyrhknf in that one spot since i dont want tk take my laptop to the church.

Can i root it then flash recovery and do a wipe/ factory reset and flash this rom ? Or does it HAVE to be odin.

After i flash i reboot it and go back to recovery to enable voodoo and lagfix correct? Or does it apply the lagfix on the first boot when you flash the rom.

I used to do a theme for vibrants :p wish i still had my vibrant :(
