SGS kernel flasher can flash .tar files too.

Extract the tar from the zip and try. That doesn't work then extract the zimage from the tar.

SGS kernel flasher doesnt see a image inside of a tar inside of a zip.

The only thing I did was go into rom manager and select install rom from sd card and selected the modem and boom. Installed.

1: Is there a way to run without the honey theme

2: I'm running cm 7 miui can I just flash it from the 3 combo recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You can try any of the JVK themes on the I9000 forums can't guarantee they will work and you may very well get stuck in a boot loop. And yes you should be fine to boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset as long as you are already running a voodoo enabled kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] iwapu:
explodingboy70, can you include Chinese in RC3?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
So is the rom the same as the other gingerbread roms as far as issues and bugs? Gps, mic issue, crappy battery life, etc
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
So I'm on 3.6 I should flash smaller then flash others or can I skip to large
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
brilliant!

The new script is wipe for who come from SH <3.3 and from Froyo/GB!

It doesn't do wipe if you're running SH 3.5+ ROMs! Very Simple and automatic!

I've called it the "Anti-Noob" Script!

thanks EB
[Vibrant Android Development] whatmonster:
so i'm going to flash the light then medium then large, can i do all 3 in the same session without reboots in between?

also i'm sad to see the simply honey boot was removed due to issues, prolly my favorite boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
If coning from Froyo or you dont have bootloaders you will still need to flash 3.3 first. If you want some of the full just down that and open with 7zip and delete what you don't need simple. Its the same as I did for myself.

As far as the OP goes I do plan on cleaning it up but thought you all would rather just have the update instead of waiting until tonight when I have time to do that.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Only need to flash medium OR large. Large has everything medium does. I suppose you could flash the large at the same time as the base and then reboot but I haven't tested that way.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Thanks a bunch EB. I know you're tired of answering questions, but I really want to make sure I do this correctly. I am on froyo 2.2 I have that NO RAINBOWS GB BOOTLOADER tar file downloaded and on my SD card. This is where I am now.

What's the easiest way for me to get this rom?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] Azure100:
Ok I am gonna try Simple Honey GB for the first time so please let me know that my following method is fine.

1) I am currently on Froyo.

2) I install Simple Honey 3.3 Via CWM Recovery.

3) I install SH 3.8 Light through the CWM Application.

4) I update and install SH 3.8 large through the CWM application

Is that correct?

Plus this method wont change or alter anything in m Bootloaders Right ?

Incase Before installing 3.3 SH, i install the GB Bootloaders... What possible advantage would that give me ?

Thanks alot for your help :)
[Vibrant Android Development] whatmonster:
well for testing sake i went and flashed all 3 in order in the same cwm session, see what happens :p

boot animation is cool btw.

--- so after rebooting, everything looks good, and i seem to have all the apps and stuff from the packages.

Thank you for this, if i had a gold star sticker, i'd deff put it next to your name haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] gigioz79:
Ok! no 3.3 DL link in OP right now....

Is this correct: http://www.multiupload.com/PPT59C2PZM ?

Tnks!

[Vibrant Android Development] alwaysbindaas:
EB..great release...can you please tell me if I can flash directly over CM7 nightly? Please...thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
So for us beta testers we only flash the small package correct? That will also include the 9 lockscreens too right?
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
Really? Do I need to hold your hand while you velcro your shoes?

Beware of angry gingerbread man
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No you already have the small package. Just choose either medium or large now to upgrade.
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
Awesome! Thanks EB. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Once you get to 3.8 you'll no longer have CWM app. You'll use rom manager.

Bootloaders gives you recovery and no rainbow. If you flash bootloaders first you should be able to flash 3.8 directly with no apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] alwaysbindaas:
@adamcook - yes...will you please? and next time, please mind your own business and let the person addressed in the message answer.

EB: I asked because last time I flashed 3.6 over CM7, I got a boot loop, please answer my question if you get a sec.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Do we have to have GB Bootloaders installed or can we come straight from froyo to the light package....then up?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Do you have bootloaders installed? If so use the SimplyOdin package with the 512pit. Otherwise Odin to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Edit: nm
[Vibrant Android Development] alwaysbindaas:
Thank you Sir.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
That or who screw up after try themes and stuff and get stuck. Or for the lazy who just want to enter download and click start in Odin.

Its basically your new stock rom minus the bootloaders. Screw up and get back to the Honey.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Oh ok thx. So if were already on gb with bootloaders we just flash via cwm then medium or large without odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
I've been waiting this far. I will wait a little longer for a clear & precise installing instruction for NOOB like me :o. I don't want to screw up & brick my phone. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
I may sound like broken record but can u flash this over cm
[Vibrant Android Development] Tha Maxx:
gps? and if so how accurate
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
EB can you post the unlock sound we had on 3.6.1 if possible. I use the r2d2 unlock or the miui and love that cool sound. Also where to put it if you can, thanks as always!!
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Flashed 3.8 from 3.6...

I have been using 3.6 for awhile.

Just flashed 3.8 with Rom Manager and now I have constant reboots, when it get to the Bullet screen it reboots again, been doing that for about 5 minutes so far. Looks like it is stuck rebooting...
[Vibrant Android Development] whatmonster:
Power control widget is either faulty on my end or busted period, there's no icons on it, and the graphics seem to be a little off.

---reflashed everything again, still borked. not that i use the widget, but just for reporting purposes.

Open Folders in touchwiz app drawer are all wacked out in shape. seem to small graphic wise and overstretched to be larger but large enough the apps inside spill out over the sides.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Reflash or do the Odin version.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Power control is fine. Place where you want it and toggle anything in the drop down and the icons will magically appear.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
That's what I am doing now. LOL.

I flashed 3.3 first in Recovery.

Will do 3.8 zip after 15 minutes.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] hd2life:
Could you flash this over Cm7 or do you have to ODIN back?
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Getting loops at the Bullet screen. How do I get the Odin version? I was on Froyo, but I had the GB bootloaders installed. Tried to install 3.3 and now I just keep getting the bullets and vibrant screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] whatmonster:
you're right, never actually had to do that before, now it looks nice :)

any idea whats up with the folders in app drawer?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
@hd2life :)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Hold volume down and power and reflash 3.3. Always works the second time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gd_JOSEC:
So I'm running 3.6. Just to make sure I'm clear on everything. I install the light using rom manager(no wipe) just wipe dalvik cache and then from there I can flash the large version with rom manager as well. Since the large also includes the medium apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
I can only see my external sd card when I do that. I don't see my internal at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Flashed 3.8 but say's 3.3 still

I flashed 3.3 in Recovery then flashed the 3.8 rom and it flashed really quick and then I rebooted. Still says in the phone settings that the version is still 2.3.3 and Simply Honey is still at 3.3.

And when flashing the 3.8 rom it said it was installing Medium not the full version that I downloaded.

???
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You got it.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You have to flash the small base rom first.
[Vibrant Android Development] alwaysbindaas:
EB, just to clarify for ppl coming from CM7:

1. Odin bootloaders (From here?)

2. Odin Simply_Odin with 512pit(where do I get this from?)

Is this correct?

Thanks for clarifying.
[Vibrant Android Development] NinoAl:
i have another vibrant that's still in froyo...so i flash simply honey 3.3 from recovery then flash 3.8 light? do install 3.8 through cwm app or rom manager? also is the bootloader included in 3.8 or do i still need to install it through odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
and where is the small base at?

All I see to download is the medium 3.3 then full 3.8.

OH I see it now, above the medium say light. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] hd2life:
Shouldn't we already have gingerbread bootloader, all good and no rainbow for us?

Can we flash just via clockwork/rom manager simply honey light?

sorry about this but i still don't get it, you sad any gingerbread rom but we have a diffident file system. Cm7 is special case yes, no?
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
If I coming from 2.8 and have bootloaders already installed, I have to flash 3.3 anyway? By the way thank you for your wonderful work. I just want to be sure than sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I don't include bootloaders.

Coming from 3.3 use the CWM app.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Haven't tried myself coming from Froyo but if you have bootloaders you should be able to flash directly.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Thank you sir, and happy fathers day.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
for some reason i get stuck on the splash screen and it wont boot up i installed the cwm i9000 and i tried it on the vibrant version but it wont work
[Vibrant Android Development] wrek:
after I odin the light, I flashed SH38 FULL and the script reports it's applying SH Medium.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
I'm coming from stock rom. What's the best way to install? Stock as in 2.1 rooted. I screwed up with the bootloaders so I just odined back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
3.3 through recovery, then 3.8 with CWM app then med/large with rom manager ?? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
+1

I have to restore to V2.8, and don't know how to proceed now.

Why is so complicated? ROM manager is much easier to work with.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah Simone put the packages together and has it set up for I9000 that they have to install the light, then med, then full. So I just put the items from the full into the medium and changed the name so that if you want the full you can just skip the medium. I didn't change it in the script though.
[Vibrant Android Development] alwaysbindaas:
I installed bootloaders...then Odin Simply_Odin with 512 pit...stuck at splash screen too...EB please advise..
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
For those that are coming from Froyo I am working on a solution to make it as simple as possible. I will have this resolved this evening.
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
are bootloaders needed to flash this?
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Will using the odin method (3.8 Odin Heim) work straight from stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
well thankyou very much eb to you and all who worked on this .just flashed all threw rom manger and all went fine.no prob,didnt loose root or nothing this time great work.i love the new start up anamation android in space very nice ,looks amazing .:D i got one question i seen this in the full ver op Windmill LWP 2 dont see it in my app draw,but wasnt sure what it was and didnt see it ,so what is it ? thankyou very much eb and team :D
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
After I have flashed the full package I dont have the theme settings app nor the gb launcher installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I am back on froyo now and testing solutions. I see why 3.3.1 is giving some problems and I will work them out shortly. Please bear with me.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Not sure why GB launcher isn't there. The theme app is only for the light version now. We'll be working to integrate it into the full version in the future.

@Lucky - "i got one question i seen this in the full ver op Windmill LWP 2 dont see it in my app draw,but wasnt sure what it was and didnt see it ,so what is it"

LWP is Live Wallpaper.
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
ok thankyou i was thinking that but just need to be sure :D
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I also didnt get the home switcher app as well.

Edit: Also the program monitor widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
I went back to stock 2.1, re-rooted and installed 3.8 odin method. All is well...got the rainbows then I flashed the GB Bootloader and rainbows are gone. PERFECT INSTALL! :D All I have to do now is reinstall all of my apps, which is a PIA but oh well. I have GB with working GPS and all is well!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okay, my bad apparantly I didn't look at the script in the medium package close enough so here is the link to Simones full package that adds the extra full things only. http://www.multiupload.com/ET6VZTTLK8
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Was just about to flash that way. So I can just take 3.3 out of the OP all together and just have Froyo user flash 3.8 Odin version?
[Vibrant Android Development] kwes1020:
Very nice looking rom. Think im gonna flash it later today. Thanks I will report back.

Should be painless coming from 2.3.4 and bootloaders, I hope.
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
EB. I have no lockscreens in settings.just the one on bootup after flashing 3.8

Sent from a ginger vib with some honey
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
There's an app for that on the Light version.
[Vibrant Android Development] liljuliod3:
Can I Flash this through CWM app in 3.6???
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
So no lockscreens on full version, looking for miui with music options.

Sent from a ginger vib with some honey
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
There is, at the lockscreen menu->lockscreen style.
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Hey EB, if we are to flash the full version, we should do Simone's full package, not from the OP correct or are they practically the same?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Updated OP with new install instructions.

Light version has 4 lock screens and no extra apps.

Medium and Full Versions gives you 9 Locks and extra apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
For now flash the medium here and then the full that I linked. I'll fix the full here later but I'm getting hell from the family (other half right now).
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I applied the new full package and no new apps were installed. Doesn't really matter that much its a great rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
Were can I find the lockscreens i am on full version.not in settings.I think I am one full version.I flashed it in recovery. version

Sent from a ginger vib with some honey
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
I've been keeping up with this thread as I am scared as heck to flash a GB rom for the first time. But I must say that explodingboy is doing an exceptional job answering every question that has been posted in a extremely fast manner. Hats off to you sir
[Vibrant Android Development] kwes1020:
Since you updated the install, I noticed you no longer have to change/flash to i9000 in cwm. Is this correct that I can flash from vibrant cwm. Or was it left out on accident after the update to instructions?

Just want to be sure before I flash. I am currently on blietzkreig 2.3.4 with gb bootloaders.

Thanks for the rom and any insight into my question.
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
The Lock Screens are in Settings -> Lockscreen Menu -> Lockscreen Settings
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
I was in that rom and all good ..Just flash the base version and next the medium package..dont forget to back up coz it will wipe.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I havent tried vibrant recovery as i havent been on a rom with vibrant build prop since like Janurary.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Seriously beautiful. No issues installing, everything seems to be where it is supposed to be, and it pretty fast and smooth.

Thanks for a great update EB.
[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
I'm coming from bi-winning and going to flash through odin as per the instructions. What Pit file should I use? Can someone post a link? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Yes, that would be the easiest way to get a clean install without having to go through all the steps. It's VERY simple and painless. I would advise anyone who does it this way to also install the GB Bootloaders also. Works flawlessly! AFTER flashing the rom and seeing the rainbows
[Vibrant Android Development] NinoAl:
my other vibrant just bootlooped after installing 3.3...do i need to odin back now or can i install the simply honey 3.8 via odin that u provided for people comin from froyo? and also im not very familiar with odin? would you please help me on how to install via odin? uncheck reboot, repartition, and such? thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] chef_w:
Which build is the odin .tar? Light, medium or full?
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
It's in the OP, but here's the link

http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z
[Vibrant Android Development] chef_w:
Should be the normal 512.pit. Am I wrong?

I'll look for a link...http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6739934/s1_odin_20100512.pit
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The pit to use is 512.

The odin version is the light/base rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
So I guess I can easily install the full rom now then correct? I guess that's why I can't see the lockscreens either!
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
Pretty good for the first hour, just finished getting everything set up, restore, backed up and such.

I am having issues with gtalk, not transmitting video, in either portrait or landscape. And it is only using my rear camera. Tested on both 3g and wifi, same results. It was working well using the 1.3b (xilard) on both blitzkrieg roms

Other then that, its great so far, little laggy between screens but i think that it will iron out with some use.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
i still cant seem to get this rom to work i flashed from miui to this i followed the steps i wiped and installed light then medium but i always get stuck on the splash screen
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
How are you installing. Coming from CM7/MIUI use odin version and 512 pit file. Then if you have bootloaders installed you can boot recovery and flash other things. If no bootloaders then use rom manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
alright i will try that i just wish my downloading wasnt so slow today
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Wow just checked GPS via Google Maps and it is almost very accurate....it just shows about 10 yards difference....GPS says I'm next door, which is accurate enough for me!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just dont turn it off or youll have the reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Any idea how close everyone is getting to fixing this?

And what's the general battery consensus for you, EB? (Seeing as you've likely been on this ROM a lot longer than everyone else here).

Otherwise... downloading now and looking forward to seeing it in action :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
I just turned it off and didn't see the phone reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
It won't come back on until you reboot. That is what everyone is talking about.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No the phone wont reboot. Lol. Try turning it back on and see what happens.....no gps. Now reboot. Yay gps again.

Battery is very much improved right on par with Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Awesome! :)

I'll try ODIN'ing the ODIN package (got the 512.pit) from Trigger and see how it goes/report back if I have any issues.

Thanks for all your work!
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
is the Angrygps.apk still needed in the system/app folder? or can it be removed or changed to a .bak

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Sorry I didn't add info on that. I named it with the .bak extension for install. You only need it if you plan on getting to the test settings. You can remove the .bak safely.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
When you say don't turn gps off, do you mean don't toggle it in the top bar or do you mean keep a GPS app running in background?

thank you for a great ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
im going to try this one last time today :p i tried flashing from miui stuck on splash screen, tried odin to this rom i got a rainbow bootloader so i flashed the bootloaders and i had a problem during the process and freaked out cuz i thought i got bricked lol and now im going back to stock JFD and im gona try from here :D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Don't toggle it. The GPS only uses resources when its actually called by an app so leaving it on wont drain battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
miui music

Anyone notice the miui music doesnt toggle the play and stop button, not much important the rom still rocks..
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Just don't rush it and read directions- I'm gonna be dabbling in those tonight too... much better to take an extra couple mins then get a brick ;)

Ugh. Tonight just isn't my night.... the ODIN method keeps failing on me. Thinking I'll go back to Froyo and try again tomorrow.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
thanks.I thought I had left it a.bak file while messing around! Thanks for the reply.nice job.

bln too works again, great.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
The new froyo install instruction works like a charm. Exploring my new phone now ......
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thank you! GPS didn't lock for me after flashing the latest light version. Is there anything else I need to flash? I tried rebooting twice but no luck.
