flashing question

hi all, i know it is silly to ask but i have to

i am new to vibrant i just recieved my phone 2 days a go and i am loving it.

i rooted the phone, flashed clockwork recovery by using rom manager and installed a froyo custom rom and i flashed the GB bootloader (the new one with no rainbow)

now i am trying to install this rom simply honey 3.6 but i failed, what i did is like the follwoing:

1- downloaded 3.3 and 3.6

2- installed 3.3 to install it first as the instructions in post 1.

3- installed it and rebooted

after reboot i get a boot loop (a 3 bullets then it reboots to vibrant first screen 3 bullets and vibrant ... and so.

did i miss any thing?

thank you in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
all i did was

factory reset/wipe data

clear cache

flash 3.3

reboot

flash 3.6 with CWM app straight away

then leave it to do its thing :)

_______________________________________________________

whats the install meathod going to be for 3.8 ??

3.3 again then 3.8 over the top ?? or with the bootloaders, straight to 3.8 ??
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
Same here.I themed my 3.6 did not like it so tried to restore it no go .so I just reflashed.

I use conservative but I just wanted some feedback...thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] jaikat:
advice!!

i just flashed the gingerbread bootloaders, i'm running a froyo 2.2.1 rom..

according to the quote, catfishknight is saying flashing simply honey 3.6 without flashing 3.3 first is fine in case the gingerbread bootloader is there...

can anyone confirm this, and i want to try it out anyway, what are the dangers here?
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Hey EB can I request that you have a version of 3.8 with Samsung apps and widgets or provide a flashable zip just with the apps/widgets? I use bloater with 2.2 ROMs but not sure if it will work with Gingerbread.

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
So basically just the APN type. Good to know and thanks for the info.
[Vibrant Android Development] futurerider103:
try it and tell me if it works for you as well
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Actually these are the settings we've been telling people to use to make mms work if it isn't. The ASOP fixes blurry SMS pics. I know jellette had changed the user agent in a 2.2.1 mod of the mms and it solved the blurriness but I think it had other issues doing that.

Right now I don't have T-Mobile specific csc installed but rather just the international ones so I only have the first set of settings and not the second. I'm gonna try a few things today.

3.8 Update

Hey EB, check your PM inbox. I sent you a pm to give you an update on 3.8.

All I have to say to the community is, WOW. Father's day will be a great day for the Simply Honey community!

CL
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
I have done it several times now, since I can't restore a previous saved version of my Simply Honey 3.6 Rom. I install and try different Roms. Since I can't restore a previous saved version I had to Re-flash 3.6 again and again alot then reinstall all my apps with Titanium batch which I really like doing. Saves alot of time than doing one by one installs.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
3.8 Update for the coummunity

edit: This is what EB & I discussed. Thought you guys might want to see.

Hey EB, I'm here to give you a quick update on 3.8.

OS system is working snappier. It just feels like it's responsive quicker than 3.6.

GPS IS WORKING, I haven't been able to lock on too precisely. I mean it's off about 100 yards give or take.

It didn't work this well in 3.6.

Battery; I have to say, the battery life is like Night and Day. I have noticed a substantial difference in my battery life. I would say I see about a 30% difference, maybe even 40%. It's just noticeable.

Touchwiz is working perfectly. I haven't had any issues with it.

I like the setting app that let's me choose what options I have if I press the Power button. At first I couldn't find the reboot option or recovery option, but then I noticed it was in the settings menu. I like being able to choose.

I haven't had any issues with the music app, I haven't had it fc on me. It happened to me a few times on 3.6, and I'm running the cpu at 1.0, I haven't overclocked it, actually I haven't done anything to it.

I installed all my apps I had on 3.6 and they seem to work fine. I don't hulu or netflix to comment on.

I have noticed that the web browser is quicker too.

One thing I have noticed though, since I've been running 3.8 since yesterday I have counted at least 3 or 4 times that my signal/data gets disconnected. It usually goes out for 1 or 3 seconds. No big issue for me.

This is my quick Update on 3.8. I know I probably forgot to mention something, either way, this is what I am reporting so far.

PM me if you have any questions.

CL

EB70

Thanks for the update. Doesn't matter where you post actually probably better to post in the forum so people can know what to expect.

I haven't noticed the signal issue yet but will look for it. It may be that I haven't included T-Mobile specific csc but rather just have international versions.

Again I appreciate the feedback.

EB70

EB,

This is for the community to see, this way they have an idea what's coming soon......

EB, I also forgot to mention, I sent a picture with MMS and I had no issue at all. I did not change any of the settings.

I have to say once again, the battery life is GREAT!!!

CL
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Getting excited by the moment as 3.8 is near its completion! Question CLopez....will the install method be the same like its described in OP?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Still working on implementing the new install script to auto detect simply. Betas are wipe only but typical install from CWM or Rom Manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
3.8 Install

I went into recovery and installed thru there. I also could have used Rom Manager.

No issues installing this bad boy!
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Awesome! Can't wait!!
[Vibrant Android Development] jaikat:
i took my chances.. and it worked.. thanks for saving me from downloading another 200mb (the 3.3 version) :D

the rom is really nice, big thanks to explodingboy70 for the hard work..

i read the op, well of course i did :p, and it says i9000 kernels can be flashed over this rom.. anyone know if there's a kernel that has the "smartass" governor.. ?

i don't know why but when it comes to samsung kernels, there seems to be a lack of interest in governors, even though, in my opinion, the governor is the driving force behind the cpu, and "smartass" is probably the best compromise between speed, responsiveness, and battery life..
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Glad it worked for you! Did you get Hulu and Netflix working yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] jaikat:
i actually don't use any of the two.. yes, you can call me dull :cool:

any idea on the kernels?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
@Eb

Does your implementation of the gps fix requires the special kernel from edt? or can be used with any gb jvp kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Couple of notes.

While I state that any JVO GB kernel will work with 3.6 anything other than what's included will break functionality such as keymapping.

As far as the next releases kernel and GPS the only kernel supported will be included. I imagine the one being offered on other threads is the same as the only person making kernels for Vibrant GB is cmenard so thank him for the kernel and birger for the GPS fixes.

Is it safe to Flash with the Latest MIUI rom? Its 2.3.4
[Vibrant Android Development] Lethal_NFS:
This is the first custom rom I have used since Axura. I had to Odin the bootloader to get rid of the rainbow effect but that was an easy fix. Loaded up 3.6 and I could not be more happy. Best of all my Netflix app works very well!

Not sad about the loss of GPS since it did not work very well to begin with.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I beg to differ and say that why yes, yes you could be happier so come Sunday I will make it so. And GPS!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
can't wait!!! tried blitzkreig to see if TW4.5 works better on there...but no...it looks like its just an unstable launcher for now. restored back to simply honey 3.6v1, hoping sunday would come sooner. also, flashed their v5.3 bullet kernel, and didn't flash back, just restored via CWM....and i haven't run into any problems.

so to those who want TW4.5 to stop freezing your phone...don't run it till it gets stable, it's still in its early stages. I'm sure it'll be nice soon enough....

Thanks again EB70 for this awesome rom.....
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
Good advice.. The best is still the one eb set up with the current honey. Love the icons, background on apps, re Twiz 3

I don't remember what the original issue was. Was it mms not sending at all or blurry mms? If it's a blurry mms fix, I can get Tweaker 2 off the ground...maybe.:)

they can be flashed as a rom in rom manager aswell (if you didnt know) :)

This is how i flashed it, via the rom manager

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Good news and bad folks....

The good news is numerous and most of you already know some of it. Release is definite tomorrow, GPS works, there will be three versions to suit individual needs, a oh hell i screwed up version will also be available and some more things that are minor and will be listed in the changelog tomorrow.

The bad which is kind of just an aww too bad oh well...wipe version only due to new GPS files being incompatible with our no wipe script.

I also have to work in the morning so release wont be until late afternoon.

So there you have it. I did want to release yesterday but I, rather we, also wanted to give you the best rom possible without any bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
No bad news to me at all. I will jump from 2.8 to 3.8 and I guess non-wipe won't work anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

Maybe I should check on this before I flash over.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah i know jellette said that he changed the user agent on the one for 2.2.1 and that fixed the blurry but i think i remember something about other issues after but cant confirm anything as i was already deep into GB by then and blurry mms kind of took well low priority so i really didnt pay attention.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Futurerider103, please expand on this point:

On my phone there exists only the first APN when I tap APN settings. Evidently on your phone/rom there existed a second sub-setting labeled T-Mobile MMS which you tapped and entered the APN settings also named T-Mobile US for mms that you posted. Am I correct? All I could do was menu>add new apn>save>reboot and still the mms are blurry. I guess what I wondering is if you settings.apk is different.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply galaxy

Honesty, I don't think that fix worked. I tested it on Bi-Winning and Simply Galaxy. But if the settings.apk's are different, that might explain it.:)

EDIT: I think the other issue being looked into back then was how the apk was resizing the images.

i'll be flashing 3.8 tomorrow, so as long as the three versions are universal when it comes to the system apps and framework, i'll be porting it over.

Awesome!! Cnt wait for the new update!!!! This is like the real GB rom that samsung never released kuz now it seems lik almost everythin is workin on this GB rom which is awesome.. it has all i need... great battery life, voodoo, im able flash themes via CWM recovery wit no rainbows.... it seems lik we dnt need samsung to release the GB edition on this fone... kuz it seems lik we're a step ahead of them GREAT WORK EB!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
word. def agree.....since there isn't any leaks on the horizon for the vibrant....it seems like they forgot us when they released the gs4g.....but with awesome dev teams like team whiskey, einherjar dev team, and of course, simply galaxy team, we will stay on top of it.

till our contracts runs out of course....:)

but i think ill still be playing with my vibrant after ive gotten another phone....maybe throw honeycomb on it for fun.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers abroad!

In anticipation of the update release I have been debating on flashing my phone back to stock and reinstalling Simply Honey from scratch. Make it clean and fresh you know.

But I do have a question regarding the whole shibang.

As I am running the GB bootloader and it is compatible with 2.1 JFD, I am now to worried about flashing to stock. My concern and lack of actual experience has me questioning myself.

Do I need to flash a 2.1/2.2 Kernel first with the kernel flasher?

Then go back to 2.1 stock? Or will the 2.1 throw in the stock kernel, thought I read somewhere about all this. I could try searching I suppose.

Also after everything is stock and stinky, Since i'll still have the GB bootloader in there, think I read that we can just flash a 2.3 rom now without any issues?

Sorry for the winded post, just trying to get learned :p
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
OP Updated.

Flash the light package (base rom) first then the medium if you wish and if thats not enough flash the large after.

Also Odin package available for those who mess up or just want a simple way to get to the light package.

Enjoy. Questions please ask. Feedback is appreciated.

AUTOMATIC NO WIPE if running 3.5 or higher. WIPE for everyone else.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Now boot into download and flash the Simply Honey ODIN package with the pit512 file. Clean and simple.

Sounds good, after i posted and reread all my jazz, i was like wtf, factory reset will work :O

thanks sir, flashing 3.8 in a minute :p
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
The OP is too complicated now and need clean up.

Would you like to tell me how to upgrade from simple honey 2.8 to 3.8? I am very confused now. It looks like I need flash v3.3 first?

thanks a lot.

Also Do you have the office alone? I like the medium version 3.8 but also need the office suite from the heavy version.

thanks

Ok guys.

Sorry if I missed it in the previous 32 pages. I did a serach on recovery, but all i can find is that recovery arnot working...for some....and me.

Is ClockworkMod recovery working on this ROM and if, what do I do to get into it/install it. I came from an Overcome ROM, SimplyGalaxy PRO and I think the CWM was v2.5.1.2.

Can i flash CWM and from where - odin? and will that work with this ROM.

When I reboot and try the 3-button combo, it am just greeted by the wonderful rainbow colors.
