I'd say reflash then if your having that many probelms. I've flashed this probably 20 times now and made numerous changes to the system as well as probably a good 30 or more kernel flashes and I don't have any FC issues. This rom has progressively gotten better and more polished over the last month. If myself or Simone were seeing issues that were not isolated we would definitely fix them. As it stands now the issues we see are quite random and more often than not the result of a bad flash for whatever reason or trying to use a theme that is not compatible .
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No you are fine. Just hold the three buttons when it gets to the Overstock screen and release power when Vibrant comes up. You are perfectly fine. I flash a 2.2 kernel about 4 or 5 times a day testing and do this same procedure.
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
Sticking with the great ROM just the way it comes until changes make it possible for me to use recovery again without the use of my usb port on my device.....
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
If your with this rom you wont be able to see recovery unless you use android screencast which without USB will be impossible.

Its one of the things listed in the op as not working.
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
Thanks for the information, I will just use the ROM as is until things change at a later date. Thanks for all your hard work it is much appreciated.

Drew
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah I've been doing the flash 2.2 kernel method of getting into recovery, do what I need to do and then flash a 2.3.3 kernel. Just make a copy of one of your 2.2 kernel zip files and use 7zip to replace the zimage there with the one from the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] bert269:
Please put a link (in OP) for the correct / tested / working 2.2.1 kernel to flash

Please provide us a link with a working / tested 2.2.1 kernel to flash that will provide a working recovery for us, please.

I have tried this ROM and tried to go straight into recovery from the CWM app, but it just hung on Virbrant screen. I guess I should have flashed this '2.2.1 recovery kernel).

Sorry, if this link was already posted somewhere in this thread, I missed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] remixfa:
first thing i tested was the GPS. It works fine. Its not nearly as accurate as bionix was, but it still works quickly and is semi accurate. My blutooth works fine (and plays music :) ).

Only thing im wondering is if there is a great overclock/underclock rom out there to help control battery a bit. Ive reset the battery stats and it didnt really seem to help. I drained 60% battery while reading news articles for an hr using pulse.

All in all, great work. i like the way its set up, and for the most part, works quite well.
[Vibrant Android Development] vamp6x6x6x:
I need this as well if anyone gets a chance, ty.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Any of the kernels found in the vibrant section will work for that purpose, overstock, supercirio's voodoo. Just make a copy of the zip on you PC and use 7zip to drag the zimage from the rom to the zip you just made a copy of and the change the name of it. Now place both on your SD. Flash the original with SGD Kernel Flasher. When it revolts and gets stuck use three buttons to get into recovery. Do what you enter there and then select install zip from SD and choose the zip you copied to flash back to 2.3.3 kernel. Done.
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
For real??? The OP say GPS is NOT working :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
GPS does not work! Any GPS test app or even lbs test will show that. However network location does work so depending on your surroundings you get a better or worse pin point of where you are.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30000:
hey man where can we get themes for this ROM?

Also, any plans to update to 2.3.4 in the near future? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Any jvb theme from i9000 forums will work. Pull services jar and most likely flash with cwm app as most if not all will now be cwm3 compatible.

Update this weekend adding a couple of things, making a couple more tweaks as well as updating a few things. Really just adding more polish and working out any remaining lag or bugs which are very few at this point if any.
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
Thanks bro. GPS not working is the only reason holding me back from flashing this ROM. I will continue to wait then. At this time, I am happy with the ROM I'm on. Cheers :D
[Vibrant Android Development] remixfa:
So the lock I get is simply tower based and not gps at all? is there an app to show satellite lock?

Also, any word yet on good kernels for this? I'm down 80% in 6 hours of minimal use where I'd get a full day + of heavy use with bionix. I love the way this rom looks but I can't live on a charger for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] gopheer:
Just wondering if the update will be able to be flashed without wiping anything. Otherwise, i will just wait :).

old version of titanium backup

Hello,

Is there somebody kind enough to post me an old version of the titanium backup. I only have the latest version of the titanium backup and it doesn't show up in the app drawer.

When I go to settings --> applications --> manage applications . It shows titanium backup as installed , but the open option is grayed out. I can not open it. The only option is the uninstall button.

Awhile back I was advised to use an old version of the titanium backup. I am not sure how old the version needs to be. Maybe last year's version will be good to try.
[Vibrant Android Development] Vizone-:
Per a user's previous comment, Will your UPDATE RELEASE this weekend be flashable without wiping?
[Vibrant Android Development] Vizone-:
Wrong Forum. Do a search for Titanium Back_Up torrents until you find a version that works for now. Happy Hunting! If you don't know what a torrent is, do a search for torrents, then Titanium Back_Up. =P
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
Yeah, price is kinda ridiculous, but it makes sense, considering how much cheaper T-Mobile's plans are than everyone else. I'm due an upgrade in September, so I'm hoping there's some promotional bogo deal going on by then, like there was with the vibrant when i got it in 2010.
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
Kernels are starting to show up from Darkside and Eugene. You will have something nice to build on.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
yeah using the dark side kernel with stock somewhat debloated now. I have had my vibrant sitting on my desk for 2 days which has ICZen on it. I picked it up a few minutes ago and 1 it still had 4% left on battery and 2 it seems so tiny now compared to GS2. If the next phone isn't a GS3 it might be a note and then this will seem tiny. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:

Can I get honeycream links?
[Vibrant Android Development] DRSdroid:
Can anyone provide me with an updated link for the 5.1 MEDIUM version?

I have the light version and i have no lockscreen settings in my settings.apk.

Either the medium version or perhaps a flashable zip with just the settings.apk and necessary files?

Pretty Please :( :crying:

EDIT

or maybe tell me where, if possible, i can edit a file on the device to tie the sliders to a different app.. using the modified AOSP lockscreen now
[Vibrant Android Development] iwasblown:
Anyone have honeycream?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Yes I have honeycream on my back up vibrant. It's stable with TW4.5 #22
[Vibrant Android Development] omnifarious:
I believe he was asking for a download link.
[Vibrant Android Development] iwasblown:
Load me up, I'm ready for for space.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes an app simply called GPS Test is on the market and free. It will tell you how many sats it see's how many locked and how long it takes.

Really need to calibrate battery and go through a few cycles before making a determination like that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wreximus:
Well I finally had time to try and reflash since the trouble the other day. I was able to work on it tonight and got it working. So far everything looks great I'm liking the colors and seems pretty fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wreximus:
EB,

I was wondering for calibrating the battery you said to reset it in the recovery screen as soon as the full battery pop up happens. What about if we charged the phone while it was powered off overnight and in the morning, I boot up into recovery and reset the battery stats then? Do you think that would work?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes it'll still pop up 100 on the battery icon when powered off.
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
Can you use sgs tool and wipe the battery stats with out going in to recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
There's a link for an app in the op. You may have to plug and unplug several times before you get a true 100%
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
Thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] remixfa:
I always recalibrate. I've given it 2 tries to recalibrate with about 2 days between the first and 3 days since the second time I've done it.. Its just not settling in to a "normal" usage cycle.

So any good kernels that I can use with this that might fix it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Wreximus:
I noticed with the quadrant benchmark test that the phone isn't displaying all of the graphics. The hallway and the planet with the orbiting moon don't have any detail to them.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Gingerbread doesn't handle 3d very well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wreximus:
Ok that's what I figured
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
I only have 1 request for the next update. Could you please put that cool unlock sound on the Android locksreen. It had a really cool sound. Other than that this Rom is awesome. To me its perfect, no flaws. Keep up the great work as always.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxflyingarmbarxx:
so,question, i was coming from "The Beast Final" and tried,repeat,tried to flash this rom. Wiped my factory settings and cache partition. Rom installed successfully but bricked me big time. Got the boot loop :( Not trying to blame or point fingers (cause its probably my fault lol) jus curious as to what i may have done wrong n how i can fix it cause i really wanna flash this rom...

p.s. Odin back to FACTORY image so im starting fresh
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Really some are reporting random install problems so I'll tell you how I've flashed more than twenty times successfully. I have voodoo enabled, ext4, haven't disabled since a month ago. I simply wipe data factory reset and flash as normal then clear dalvic and fix permissions for good measure.

Install problems are really random and usually work themselves out with a reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
So I thought to try this rom out earlier today and it worked for the most part, booted up and waited almost 20 minutes after first boot then tried to boot into recovery and it softbricked staying at the vibrant screen with all 4 keys at the bottom lit up not booting up, not even an endless bootloop. Tried it with voodoo disabled and enabled and both gave me the same results.

So in summary it largely worked for me as long as I did not try to boot into recovery or that would soft brick it requiring me to reflash back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

You don't need to do that. What you probably have is the paid version installed with the rom. What you need to do is go to the Market and redownload the unpaid version. Then it will work!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Please read the op people. Its really a mystery to me why anyone would put something on their phone without knowing all the information. Again you can't see recovery. You didn't soft brick and all you had to do was press the power button and turn it back on.

Knowledge is power!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
I see Simone is gonna be releasing 3.3 sometime today. How soon until we can expect it here? No rush, just curious. I can't imagine this Rom getting any better. I love the weekends cause of the updates, its great. Keep up the great work EB!!
[Vibrant Android Development] king-killjoy:
Agreed! This is a great rom if you just read the op and understand most of the terms discussed in it you won't regret putting this on your phone. Its Simply Sweet!!

Knowledge is power! And reading some of this thread before flashing never killed anybody either ... Keep up the good work guys!!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Update either tonight or tomorrow depending on when simone releases.
[Vibrant Android Development] avaldiv2:
Music is only playing from left speaker when using aux...
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
Interesting. If ever ill flash this one, what special instructions do i need to know when flashing / going to another rom? is it only screencast, so that i could view the recovery screen?
[Vibrant Android Development] BowLow:
is there a way to port the tv lockscreen to simply galaxy pro edition
[Vibrant Android Development] stevencpoynter:
I think i know what the issue is, i had the same low quadrants and landscape issues until i flashed an I9000 kernel. Im using damien's ginger kernel now, great battery life, 1900 quadrant and landscape works perfectly. Several of the I9000 kernels work

-Samsung Vibrant-Darky 10.0 RC3-DamienGTO-
[Vibrant Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Also the I9000 kernels seem to do a bit better as far as regulating memory which these builds tend to suffer from

[Vibrant Android Development] german103:
anyone would like to comment on battery life?
[Vibrant Android Development] shownuff:
Thank you I will set the internet viewing that way. The World and moon part is smooth in the Benchmark section which is awesome.. Now I charged my battery 100% and and turned the phone on in flight mode. and let it sit like that for 30 mins. Unplugged it and it was at 85%. Lol. These are things I just honestly want to bring up to bring to your attention. This ROM is so a=Awesome. I like your professionalism and your work. And is there a way to also bring the Arc launcher as one of the launchers. Whoa would that option be awesome in the future update.. Explo I am sticking to this ROM. Is the future updates be non wipes? That would be awesome..

And the power control widget has no icons. And yes sir I did let it fully adjust itself after reboot. For 45 mins. I am a patient person for outstanding work.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Heyyy..... Screenshots are missing... so please some one do the honor :D
[Vibrant Android Development] battlekry:
Hey there, just wanted to ask if you re oreriented the I9000 kernel? This would make sure key mapping and all is intact... if so, care to share?
[Vibrant Android Development] shownuff:
It just got put up. So battery life can only be told in 2-3 days after doing a battery wipe of course.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
So I've done a couple of things this morning and just now noticed that auto rotate is working for me. If anyone would like to follow my path backwards and check auto rotate at each step we can nail down the exact fix though I think I already know. But here goes.

First I used this kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.9-CWM3RFS.zip (6.70 MB, 2389 views) found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108 It's the last kernel btw and make sure it's the 2.9 for JVK but I'm sure any of the JVK ones will be fine. Its a zip file so you would download it and extract the .tar file thats inside and use ODIN to flash it. Just open ODIN and put your phone in download, power off holld volume keys and then plug in to CPU. Select PDA and navigate to where you put the .tar file. DO NOT select repartition or the pit file.

Don't want to use ODIN that's cool downlaod SGS Kernel Flasher from the market put the tar file in the SGS Kernel Flasher folder that was created and flash through that app. The kernel tweak tools will be installed with the kernel.

Doing this you will not see a version change in settings/about phone and you will still get the rainbow effect so you still cant see recovery.

The second thing I did was toggle my usb connection settings as well as debugging mode in settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sultan1993:
Thanks! after flashing JVK 2.9 kernel auto rotatiom works !

what are the other changes in this kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] fragmentttt:
I would love to c that. Is there anyway?

Please respond ????
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:

I am waiting patiently without patience and that is a real hard thing to do! I have never regretted flashing this ROM and want to thank you for your excellence......
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thats the problem, the first time it happened all I did was reboot and it did what I explained so reading the OP has nothing to do with what I was trying to explain and is completely irrelavant. Pulled out battery and tried to turn it back on and it did the same thing. The very first time I didnt even try to get into recovery until the 2nd time I flashed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okay well you can't see recovery unless you're using android screencaster on your computer is my point.
[Vibrant Android Development] tomasitoc:
can anybody answer me this?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes. Place on SD wipe flash done.

Wipe is the best option and avoids a lot of issues. Non wipe always ends up with fc

Will release later tonight. Mothers day and all and wife and kids.

[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Still need toggle headset?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes 3.3 is up everyone. TouchWiz4 launcher, speed tweaks, enhanced look (matching, updated widgets!!!) Change log in OP!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] iCaptivate:
Ummm I'm very tempted to flash, but I have one doubt.

How can I see CWM? By changing Kernel do you mean flash a 2.2 kernel and just reboot into recovery? Also, where can I find this 'CWM app'?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Meant to address that and forgot. Yes you still need toggle headset widget. I have removed the semi-fix and will say this..."There is a fix that is kernel related which a user pointed out at around page 15 or so. If you know someone who can make a kernel or maybe you have a friend that knows someone with an extra kernel lying around then by all means flash until your hearts content. This rom will not hinder flashing of anyones kernel and you as the end user may do as you wish and that's all I have to say about that because life really is like a box of chocolates!!!!"

Oh and if you do find that kernel and want to use it then simply use root explorer to navigate to system/usr/keylayout/melfas_touchkey.kl and long press and select open in text editor and change the number 105 to 102. And reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
If you are updating this ROM then it is already on your device just hit the app icon and find CWM, if you flash a 2.2.1 kernel you can get it to the recovery screen and flash from there so you have two ways to get it done. If you are coming from another ROM then read the OP instructions and flash the ROM. I will be flashing this as soon as my download is complete.......sweet!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
CWM app is included. And yes just use the included SGS Kernel Flasher app to flash your preferred 2.2 Vibrant Kernel. It's in the OP, a whole paragraph.
[Vibrant Android Development] iCaptivate:
I'm going to be coming from Trigger.

Since it's a brand new ROM, if I want to go back to Trigger, I flash Bali and go into recovery and just flash Trigger from there?

Yeah, thanks man. I'm sorry for the retard question, it's just I had to clarify. I was asking because I was told that flashing a ROM from another phone or a port for that matter had a higher chance for a softbrick or damaging the bootloader so I was just trying to make sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
First of all make a backup now. If you decide this isn't for you then all you'll need to do is flash Bali, if thats the kernel you like, boot into recovery, wipe data factory reset, and restore to where you are now.

This GingerBread rom does not require anyone to jump through hoops!!!!!

Flash as normal. Don't like or simply want to change cool, flash a kernel, boot recovery and either restore a previous rom or flash a new.
[Vibrant Android Development] iCaptivate:
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No flashing bootloaders is what you are referring to and this does not have those and is the reason the CWM can't be seen. This is fully safe. The worst that will happen is you get stuck in a boot loop at which time just use ODIN to flash one of Supercurios ODIN voodoo kernel and get into recovery. Over a month without a hard brick and the only soft bricks have been user error which are easily fixed.

Good luck and welcome to the new standard for Vibrant roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

OK, now you're scaring me. I think I hear maniacal laughter, lol.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] iCaptivate:
Thanks man. I haven't bootlooped in a awhile so I should be good. Also, how did you fix your hardbrick? Thought those were like impossible to fix without a jtag? Finally, yeah with 2.2 already washed out, ports from other ROMs are the best we're going to get.
