Stability wise, this rom is probably the best I have had yet! One single time it locked up when trying to reply to a text, but I have a feeling it was because I have so many programs running..

Which brings me to my current issue. I have yet to see the phone have more than 50mb ram free, previous roms would always have 80+ free, and it may slow down, but this one gets really laggy.. is there a problem in memory management? Switched back to previous rom(nandroid) and installed all the same apps, running all day it never dipped below 85mb free of ram..

So your rom is a bit laggy, with a few lock ups, but others have too many FC's, don't look as good, and don't seem as smooth.. If there could be something done about the memory management I would be 100% happy. It just doesn't seem aggressive enough.

Oh, and I have yet to get the gps working, is it like the others where you rename the gps file with bak and back, and dont turn it off..?
[Vibrant Android Development] becks.ganz:
I've been using this rom. fantastic .. coupled with android black theme from forum i9000 and go launcher.

thanks EB. keep up the good work :D
[Vibrant Android Development] cavinsays:
Sorry, I sincerely wasn't trying to piss anyone off. Just was trying to point out a suggestion, and I made sure to make it clear that I did like the ROM and appreciated the work put into it -- just not the bugs. Didn't mean to come off like I was *****ing about it.

And you're right, as far as I can tell it from other forums does look the most stable, or presented in the way that looks the most reliable, and so that's the reason I chose it. However, I didn't know the bugs I've been experienced were those of the ROM's base, and not this specific ROM.

Can you point me to a list of those bugs that are Gingerbread-related?

Thanks. :)

swype?

Hey, how do i get swype back? i just updated from 4.0 to 5.0.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
get it from their website
[Vibrant Android Development] robert.pallister:
Swypes website? i got it from there and the installer always force closes. or do you mean simple honey website?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Uninstall the installer and any swype.napkins the go to system/lib and delete the libswypecore.so if there. Then go to swype.com and try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
Napkins the go. Definitely;-)

SwiftKey keyboard works quite intuitively too as a non Swype replacement
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes, if you ever misplace or God forbid forget your towel always get napkins to go. And remember the answer is always 42.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
The wipe, swype, napkin connection.. I see.. I8B4ITP

Some of the problems that have been seen, the main one is the charging issue where you phone will say it is fully charges, then take the power cord off of phone and see where you may have to charge it more because it did not charge fully. There is a problem it will not let you get full charge unless you go into settings>applications>develope>click stay on while charging.

There have also been some who are having troubles with the phones rebooting when the levels are low, to remedy this I just put it on a charger when it is under 30%.

There has been issues with the phone throttleing to a lower speed like, in 4.0 the phone would show you set it to use a certain frequency it will actually throttle at a lower amount it would throttle to 800 MHz. Now it throttel to 1000MHzn when it is set at 1200MHz. To remedy this in setcpu check your setting if it reads 1000MHz then slide it up to 1200. If you notice your phone slowing down check setcpu and at the top see where it is throttling if it is under 1200 then slide your bar down to 100MHz and back up to 1200 it should then be where you want it.

The last issue I know about is there has been issues with people having wifi issues with stregth I do not know a work around yet, but one thing you can do is make sure your wifi does not sleep by downloading spare parts and in there and there's a setting which makes you wifi not sleep.

If you want to tweak some of your settings that may help in other ways, check out my post that has a link in it that will take you to build.prop edits you can change.

Hope this help!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
its suppose to be like that though, its a 'feature' so battery's dont die from being charged every night
[Vibrant Android Development] o0stryxs0o:
^^^yeah it's a feature but for most its very annoying. Especially if you work long days and you want to leave the house with a fully charged phone. Its a feature that's suppose to save your battery from potentially going bad, but in all honesty most wont ever know the difference. Another way to get around this is Alarm Clock Plus from the market. ACP has a feature that will keep your screen on and it will system dim it and has a bouncing clock for no burn in. Its what I use and I have it set so that whenever I plug my phone in it automatically comes on its great for real!

Also EB you make a great Rom sir! Hopefully this phone calls below 30% issue will be resolved soon its the only thing really bugging me.
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
My phone will charge to 100% full it gets to 4230 as far as I've seen I've only bump charged it a couple times then wipe battery stats and it will stay there evrytime I take it off the charger..
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Thank you and actually why there are 2 clock packages in 5.0. The ASOP clock dim nicely at night and I've woken up to 100% all this week (proper battery calibration first), but I like the timer on the Samsung clock (perfect steaks every time).

Gonna put up RC1 tonight with an extra step that "may" help resolve phone issue. Anyone who's been with me awhile may remember we had an issue with the modem not flashing proper back a few builds ago. We figured out that the new BML flash was too fast and went back to Redband. My thinking now is the same for the kernel since we still use it for that and reflashing sometimes works. So I'm gonna ask that people flash the kernel via Odin after flashing the rom. I'll post a link for cmenards kernels later.
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
can we use kernel flasher to flash the kernel insted of odin? or just odin? sorry i prob know the answer just want to be sure.also i know others will ask lol thanks eb for your work and time :D
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
Yes you can. Just Make sure to backup your current kernel before installing a new one just in case.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The kernel will still be in the rom package but I'm going to put in OP a suggestion for flashing the kernel via Odin (not sgs kernel flasher) after to possibly avoid phone issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] importbeats:
Rom Manager/CWM Recovery

I've tried reading a little but there's way too many pages to find my answer.

Been flashing for a while, so not a total noob. I've used latest Bionix, CM7 nightlies, and now trying SH.

I just Odin'd the lite version in. I notice it shows "static" before the boot animation comes on.

I'm trying to install beta3 but don't see rom manager or an option to reboot into Recovery. Am I missing something?

...so I installed Rom Manager 4.3.3. (when you flash CWM, which phone are you supposed to pick?)

I rebooted into recovery and all I get on my screen is everything jumbled up which looks like a bunch of colorful static and squiggly lines. So I can't see anything I'm doing. :confused:

Help please!
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
U need to flash gb bootloaders in order to see recovery its in the op..
[Vibrant Android Development] pathbas:
^^^ do you have gb bootloader installed if not you need them lol
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
You can install beta3 directly from rom manager if you don't want to install the gb bootloader
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
Also you don't have to use rom manager just go to recovery and flash.. it'll wipe if it needs to.. and once on gb bootloader dl mode is power vol up recovery is power vol down..
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
ok i see now.i have yet to have any issues that others have with flashing your roms. but i know if i do have any phone prob, i will flash the kernel via odin .thanks can't wait for the release .:D
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
I'm the same way. I've flashed all of his Roms since his 2.2.1 and have never had a issue.

Simply Honey 5.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Is this kernel you are talking about different than the 1.42 and 1.54? The reason I ask is after flashing those the problem was still there. I am not saying it won't work just wonder if it is the same just 1.2...
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
you need to look up gingerbreaad bootloaders and then you should install them in ODIN and do not use the .pit file for it is already in your phone... What you are seeing is called rainbows...
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
I just spit coffee everywhere...

That is classic!
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Hey I fixed it, once I read it...damn tough crowd...lol
[Vibrant Android Development] dkmdlb:
Good morning everyone,

I'm loving this ROM. I've been onboard since 3.something. I recently flashed my wife's Vibrant with 5.0 beta 3 and she is having an unusual problem. I've checked this thread and can't find anything about it.

When I call her, on my end I hear her phone ring twice and then it hangs up, as if she rejected it. On her end, an incoming call screen comes up for just a fraction of a second and then it closes, and some error message pops up for another fraction of a second. I can't read what it says because it is too fast. Her phone doesn't show a missed call.

Anybody experienced this? Any fixes out there? I tried flashing a different Bullet Kernel, and checked the block calls setting.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Hate to say this but sound like you may have so ghost files that are conflicting with your install...what I would do is go into red recover by holding in your power button till the menu with the option comes up make sure you have the sh50.rc3 installed on you internal sd card, then format your data cashe and phone then re-install it make sure you back up your information with titanium and then format, re-install from recover via the zip file on your sd card... then re-install your apps only and see if that fixes it...
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
Flash thru Rom manager so u can wipe at the same time
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Doing it in ROM manager does not format the files, it only overwrites them. It is like deleting an item off your PC, it only really deletes it when you do a full format. Deleting files only takes a 1 or 0 off the file names and keeps part of the files on the system until they are erased or written over. That is why you can use file managers on a pc to recover information that was lost due to deleting, but when a hard drive is formatted it looses most information and file structure. I maybe wrong, but ROM manager is totally different process than actually formatting the three areas I addressed above.
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
I've tried duplicating that problem best solution is to wipe everything factory reset then reinstall also don't restore data from titanium something may be carrying over.. I've reinstalled 5.0 a ton of times sometime get the data loss phone drop but never get it when I wipe hope it helps
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
Only reason I said RM was because I was having browser issues and calling issues. Fc when someone called me. I used RM and it remedied my issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Is this the calm before the storm of the new rejuvenated simply honey 5.0 comes out?! Been waiting patiently all weekend! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jangst123:
Yup!

That and no point in discussing bugs in the current ROM when they may be gone in the new release.

I think I hit refresh 1,000 times today!
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
That's funny me too!

Got the links Via Droid dog, if you get through give them a big thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] kilo1548:
Nice Got in as well
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Got in as well. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] b1wyatt:
Update update update update.........lol I can't wait. It is like Xmas all over again
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
EB always comes through . I had to recharge my phone, because of draining the battery with pushing refresh so many times. LOL.
[Vibrant Android Development] b1wyatt:
ooh crap I need to charge as well I'm on 40% brb
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Found a problem with stock Browser. Rom is uploaded but I want to try and fix that before I release it. If I cant fix it in the next few minutes I'll release the way it is. No later than midnight.

EDIT: Fixed, uploading now. Should be up by the time I do up a change log (third post as always).
[Vibrant Android Development] b1wyatt:
You are the man EB thanks for all your hard work. I will set my alarm for 30 min and wake up to see if Santa hascarrived yet. Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kilo1548:
Sweet.... DLing now
[Vibrant Android Development] kilo1548:
Hey EB I just wanted to make sure all the framework files were the same. Been working on a theme for this but it was based off of Beta3. Anything you know of that I would need to watch out for?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
OP UPDATED. Simply Honey 5.0 RC1 is officially here. No big changes as far as looks or features, mainly stability, speed, and battery.

As always the wipe/non-wipe script is there which means if you start to see FCs first wipe data for the specific app , if that doesn't help wipe data factory reset and reboot. If by chance that doesn't clear it up the wipe data factory reset again and re-install.

Also these are really the only steps I can give for the phone issue if it remains. Conflicting reports on the kernel and these steps seem top help some. If you haven't properly calibrated your battery then you need to. If the phone reboot is below a certain level only that would lead me to believe that you have false battery stats. Most have stated that they were at 25% (or whatever) when the reboot happened and when the phone came back on they were at 3% (or something like that). Does that make sense to anyone other than me?
[Vibrant Android Development] b1wyatt:
Me too can't wait
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
All the framework files have changed and been re-worked. Had battery drain issues as well as BLN not working and it was all a little laggy for Simply Honey standards so I started over. Basically you'd just need to redo your framework-res with this one and use the whole framework folder. SystemUI.apk should still be good as well as any other apps that you may have done.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Thank you. Downloading now.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Forgot I took screenies of my battery use today so in lieu of starting my computer back up I'll just say that I was at 12hr 39min and 31% left with normal use whereas on beta I was getting about 10 hours tops.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
Its ok to flash the bullet 1.2 kernel, the 6.1 version that it, I like the smartass gov.

Simply Honey 5.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Definitely.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
That is something I suggested the other night, there has been an issue for me with the phone locking up on me while on a call when battery was low. But recently I have been able to talk with no issues with except maybe once and I was at 3%. I am eagerly wanting the new one thanks, as usual great work EB!
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
I only have the unlock sound on puzzle,epic and glass. All others are silent. Any idea why? I looked in Root Explorer and it all looks the same as before.

Simply Honey 5.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] Gunsmith_Cats:
EB i have flashed all froyo roms and ginger roms could not find anything that would work for me...mainly theming wise...im loving simply honey this rc version is excellent and im loving the theming...flashed via odin then this update ...bravo EB. Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] kilo1548:
Sweet. Sounds good
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

*Groan* Oh, no, I have to use Odin. (Statement of extreme distress) I'd rather chew glass, but if I have a problem, I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet.

EDIT: Good, some of you went to bed, it won't take long to download, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:

[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
quick heads up, EB.

Removing Gallery3D breaks the ability to set lockscreen wallpaper.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
Cool. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
It's not working. The whole recovery get stuck on "installing package" when flashed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
The strangest thing was going on, recovery also froze on the beta 7 kernel too while everything went well when I flashed the Gold 2.0. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Obviously don't know what you are talking about. This is a simple put the rom on you sd, wipe and flash and done. No extra stuff. Very very stable with just a couple minor things to be worked out which one of those has been fixed just a minute ago and I'm testing another in another minute.

Knowledge is power my friend, knowledge is power.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
How are you trying to flash this? It is CWM 3.0 so use CWM app. Also beta 7 wasn't a flashable zip through recovery. Use SGS kernel flasher for that or extract the .tar file from the .zip file and use Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] gmodprince:
Ok tried to flash this the other day and ended up spending the whole day fixing my vibrant im feeling Brave plus im hearing good things about this rom so I will try again my only question is this. Since rom manager doesn't play nice with this rom how do u flash a theme I used UOT Kitchen 2 make a custom theme and I just wanton have my bases covered before taking the plunge thanks in advance and devs keep up the gud work
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Oh, I see. My bad.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Install the theme on your SD along with a 2.2 kernel and a 2.3 one (I suggest Gold 2.0), flash the kernel through SGS kernel flasher app and reboot, now using the 3 buttons combo boot to recovery, install the themes from there then flash the 2.3 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] gmodprince:
Thanks bro bout to flash now
[Vibrant Android Development] gmodprince:
Can you direct me to the Gold 2.0 thread im not near a computer atm and for some reason xda app is not letting me search
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
I attached it for you since its on the devs forum and you not being on a computer will prevent you from downloading it ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
I've tried all of the Damion kernels and they were ok, I had some freezes and some random reboots though. I ended up going back to Chainfires 3.1. Its way faster to me and more stable. This is the best GB Rom to date!! If anyone's hesitating flashing it, don't, it's amazing! Great job EB!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Thank you. And I'd just like to add that chainfire's 3.1 and Damian's 7 (included in rom) are the 2 that are most stable right now. I haven't seen any issue with either of them. Know that the latest Damian kernels do included voodoo sound as well as other tweaks and we will be watching for a more stable release of an OC/UV kernel but right now the phone is plenty fast without it and I'd really only be interested in UV to save on battery, which by the way is pretty dern good, tricky to calibrate but good.
[Vibrant Android Development] tomasitoc:
I am using froyo at present.

I am interested in trying gingerbread.

Do I need to disable voodoo before flashing this rom?

thanks,
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Noooooooope.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
No bud. Just read the whole OP and you'll be good to go. Download it, factory reset, flash it, wait for 15min or so then reboot and watch your phone fly. You'll love it....trust me
[Vibrant Android Development] tomasitoc:
thank you for the reply
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Anyone with experience willing to beta test something real quick???Also must already be running 3.2 or 3.2 Update1. Please let me know and I'll PM you with details. I have a fix just need to test a small update package.
[Vibrant Android Development] wshing:
I'm on update one whatcha need me to do?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Check your PM. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
Hi EB,

I don't have the option to sync Facebook also the live wallpaper as well as the the background wallpaper are not there. Do I have a bad flash or they were intentionally left out.
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Looks like it broke my email settings. Friend told me to expect email from work, and no notification came in.

I open gmail, force close 2x. I used titanium to wipe data and then it popped up fine.

Then checked the email i had set to works exchange server, no emails there and nothing popped up. Sent 2 tests to myself, nothing. Had to wipe data there too and reenter all the credentials and now its working again.

Other than that so far so good.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Thanks I'll post gallery3D tonight for those that want lockscreen wallpaper.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Facebook is fine on my end. I'll post a wallpaper package tonight with live as well as Gallery 3D.
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
Facebook as an app is fine but when I go under account and sync and I try to add an account I don't see any of the integrated account available.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Also nice to see BLN working with texts. I could that last week to set up a blink and saw it only worked with gmail and exchange mail.

I saw now it blinked and thought I had email and checked, bam, Txt.

Also Im using the 1.2 cmenard with smartass.

And I can set a specific ringtone for gmail again. Many thanks captain.

Got annoying hearing my sms ringtone for gmail.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Got it. Looks like I left out an app. Will add that to the other things I mentioned.

Also anyone who needs or wants wifi calling I need to update that package and will do that also tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
I think the snsaccount and snsprovider.apk will do the trick.

Thanks great rom so far. Speed is amazing even when I have voodoo disabled
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You've got it.
[Vibrant Android Development] MECTHET:
EB, thank you for the great ROM. 2 questions about 5RC1. I am missing 'picture frame widget' and 'voice search'. Are these not included into ROM anymore?
[Vibrant Android Development] Lethal_NFS:
Is RC1 new? I noticed the original post shows 8/4/11. Did RC1 just get released?
[Vibrant Android Development] afawzi:
Hi EB,

The arabic package put me in a bootloop. Does this one also need modification like the WIFI calling?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
Read a cpl postings up and you shall find your answer.
