Hi,

I m Simply making this guide for the Noobs like me...

Here is the little bit Tutorial for the beginners who are finding trouble while having trouble in flashing Stock ROMS and Custom ROMS

1. DOWNLOAD AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5 with dotNetFx40_Full_setup if needed

After Installation you will have the Programme like this

2. CLICK Flash to Stock which will open ODIN then Insert the Stock of ur Desire which u will find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771111&highlight=bible

3. Then Now its time to root its a simple and easy step automatcially which will root ur phone do it according to what it has written ( ITS only for Acquireing the Custom ROMS )

4. After ur Phone get restart u need this.... Click FLASH CUSTOM ROM... The Window will appear which ask ur Custom Rom Desired Location It will boot in to Clock Work Recovery Mode after clicking the power button twice which say reinstall packages ... so the window with the green color appear now here u can install the rom by selecting what is it has written in the VIBRANT TOOLBOX. SO after the FILE WILL COPY u will see in ur Sdcard tht u will have the FILE named ROM u have to Hit tht one and wait untill it get do all the things now ENJOY the rom ...

NOW MY QUESTION IS I have done all this getting the support help from most of the members i m attaching those STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS and GB BOOTLOADERS hope some person will have the idea what i m up too...

I tried trigger Rom which is stable and faster and easy to install for the person like me ... but now when i m trying to install Original Lidroid 2.7.0 i m having problems screen is showing like when watching some horror movie and camera drops and scene cuts so the screen appear like transmission ended.........

SO DO I NEED the kernel which was available in the thread named Lidroid-Kernel-1.4-T959 and do i also need the Bootloader ? which i have currently downloaded Vibrant_GB.tar.md5. AND WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE plzzz help me :) ?
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
with root explorer, go into the system/ap/angry.gps, rename to angrygps.bak, then rename it back to angrygps.apk. You will have to make the folders r/w- Reboot, wait 15 min, download gpstest go outside let your phone sit with the program open, will take probably 10-15 min, then you should be able to lock within a couple of mins at most. Keep in mind that if you turn your gps off you will have to reboot to turn it back on.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You are referring to what we called rainbows, your screen is all colors at boot. Simply installing the bootloaders you have will clear it up. Put your phone in download mode, place the tar.md5 in the PDA slot and click start. Wait for it to reboot and rejoice.

As far as using kernels not mentioned in this thread, bullet, or other roms you'll get better answers in their respective thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Please no red!!!!

Just a thought, most who are in here are not noobs. We do not need that here, maybe you should post this in the Newbie area. Thanks for the thought, but one last point, if you are going to make a post, use 1. smaller pics 2. use something for a color besides red. It is very obnoxious, and it is LIKE HAVING ME TYPE IN ALL CAPS!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Well no he's referring to his i9000 which actually works. I would ask in Simone in our sister thread over on i9000. You'll get better answers there. As for the original question I do believe you can add the lines to the build prop changing the agps from 1 to 0 but again ask Simone.
[Vibrant Android Development] SN@K3:
thanks, but please kindly tell me one more thing if you dont mind...

Wat is kernel , and y do we need it....??
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Please go read the bible, that is where you can find all of your answers! Please remember that if you do not know what you are doing or why, this rom is not for you. It is hard to tell someone who does not know what we are talking about if they do not know the answers.

[Vibrant Android Development] Majin_X:
Your lucky, I was about to tell you to flash to stock, load up samsung kies and use that to update to froyo but make sure to pull the plug during the update and a kernel will magically appear under your pillow tonight......
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
OMFG i love it!!! lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Been on 5.0 for awhile and 5.1 for a week or so. Battery life has been garbage. 8 hours of idle with wifi on and phone goes sub 50 percent over night. I have calibrated and what not with no luck. I am thinking it was possibly a bad flash? I was using the 1.2 kernel with conservative governor.

So what do you think odin back to 2.1 and start fresh?
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Some people have said they have been having troubles with battery. Unfortunately I think it is inherent in Gingerbread. You can try and set your setting to power-save, but I know on mine I had major lag. What I use is the 1.42 with badass gov, and I do alright. Yes it eats battery, but I have been on phone calls and seems to use less juice on phone calls than it does just sitting. I have only found battery life good on froyo, but even that was dependent on the Kernel. Some including myself have played around with some of the 19000 kernel, but they require key mapping and there is screen orient issues.

I guess it is just try a wipe, see if that gets you where you want to be, but honestly I have found my battery dies just as fast on any of the Gingerbread ROM's and I have been on almost all, except CM7 and Miui. I have found that not only is EB the most responsive at changing and working through issues, but the SH ROM's are not only some of the best if not the best GB ROM's out there.

Hope you find what you are looking for and Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Thanks for the quick reply. Without actual source I can understand it being a pain in the ass to make a non battery hog Rom. The only governors I would use are conservative and ondemand because they both have variable clocks. Power save won't go above your min clock setting and power save won't go below your max. I tried the 1.42 kernel with similar results. Maybe It's time to go find a decent 2.2 Rom again. I do love everything about simply honey. Strong work eb.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Also draigons I have noticed that under battery stats the "awake" section is on quite a bit even tho phone was not used the entire night. Starting to wonder if there is an issue similar to what we had when froyo came out pre source, where the system failed to sleep a lot
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Well I do believe draigons is correct again. A combination of battery wipe and system wipe. Last week my battery was terrible one morning waking to 66%. I had to wipe and reflash the other day after testing something that didn't work. Last night before I fell asleep my battery full went off. 7 hours later I get up and I'm at 99%.

Same deal with anyone having wifi issues. Last week my wifi was terrible. Now I have no issues.

Also I'll add that we are using a kernel from 2 builds back. While I can't say for certain how much that affects things I'm sure it does.
[Vibrant Android Development] throwedyungg:
Before you jump back to froyo you should try Simply Honey 3.9.1 (Gingerbread) as I have found its the best on battery life for me and my friend. We are getting anywhere from 18-24 hours on it compared to 8-12 on newer build.... I really dont know why it is but maybe EB could explain... anyways its worth a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
8 posts all day long. Wow that's a good sign that not to many people are having any problems with this great rom!!!

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] tanisloray:
I don't know if this has been addressed yet. I am on the 5.1 beta. Did a full wipe.

Status updates, like receiving texts, scroll the status bar completely black, before scrolling back to normal. It hides the clock, battery, signal. Not a big deal, just a minor thing. That's the only problem i have experienced.

Battery is much better than on 5.0 for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
go to the themes settings app i think
[Vibrant Android Development] SaintJimmy76:
I have no idea if this is a Tmobile issue or a ROM issue but tonight I had to call 911 and the service got dropped & wouldn't come back till a reboot. Its probably tmo being stupid but figured the dev should know just in case. Wouldn't want anyone else to be in an emergency & be s.o.l.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
Mine does that too. Not sure how to fix it. I think it supposed to do that.

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Because of the status bar tweaks it does sometimes refresh and go completely black but hasn't caused any issues that I've seen.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
I have noticed a couple of phone calls inbound it has taken a bit of time before the display will show so I can answer. I know we had this issue a while back and not sure what the difference is, but it idid seem to be fixed there for a while.
[Vibrant Android Development] .:Crack:.:
ignore this post
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
And why would that be??? If you were here for the vibrant, then you would not have to ignore anything, but you are right your gs 8m probably is not the same phone, at least mine has 12g. Anyway this is the way you are supposed to do it.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
only thing I can figure out is you were going to type something and said disregard... I hope?!?

You forgot my favorite.. The "I am not gonna read through all these pages or even attempt to read the op. I don't like learning, I just want my answer now. Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You got me man. I didn't look at the name just started reading. Got to the phone number serial number before I realized it was bull. Said to myself "self, I have never heard of the STUPIFAG rom and if someone put that on thier phone they probably deserve ghosts and what have you."

Anyway working out a new rom based on the last fully working GB which was JVO. With JVP we started seeing problems with call drops. It will be sepetate of Honey and a mix of Honey theme and another theme that I found that will compliment nicely. Just started it so it will be a few days. May take a couple versions before I get the theme worked out 100% but with what I've done here and the elements I'm bringing in it should prove to be a good start, even better than where I started with this.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
On an unrelated note, thanks to all for the battery calibration tips.. Been without power since Saturday and those calibration tips helped me I'm sure plus the juice defend application.

And thanks Exploding boy for keeping this now 13 month old cell running like a champ

Awesome EB, can't wait to troll on your upcoming work. Lol. You never heard of ******* rom? I had it themed with BROKEBACK V2.7.... LOL

Im coming from Froyo and for some reason when I try to use Odin and select the zip, my computer wont show it, its only looking for .tar and .md5. I can select the pit file but Odin wont show me the ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Majin_X:
EXTRACT.....
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
Same thing happened to me
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
Maybe try and use it in CWM, zips are not for ODIN, only used for CWM and sometimes SGS kernel Flasher. Please know what you are doing before attempting to use this ROM. Be a good dubee and read read read... Thanks and hope you are able to figure it out without asking how to install it since there are very descriptive instructions in past pages, op and of course the BIBLE of VIBRANT. Good luck looking it up!

Hey guys idk if anyone else is having this issue and I couldn't seem to find anything in the thread. But for some random reason whenever I get a call and the call ends my phone reboots! Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Many many pages discuss this, please search the thread for instructions. there is a search this thread button, put in call reboots, find answers...many many pages...If you do not want a sarcastic answer please search the thread or read the last 100 pages, for you will find it over and over...

Just curious, cause of some other threads out there, what's the difference between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5?

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No sure what differences are exactly in terms of features or fixes but 2.3.5 is built directly from Android source, CM7 and variations. Samsung hasn't released/leaked a 2.3.5 build for the SGS1 as far as I'm aware of.

Hi,

I got an interesting issue. My phone wont media scan the second time thus I'm not able to see my contacts. Hmmm. Any idea? Can I manually make it scan? Thanks!

Edit.....manually imported contacts from SD.

uninstall with that :)

might need to delete libswype or something with root explorer aswell, just search swype and delete whatever files are left

or you can just delete the files without using that app but its easier with the app :)

Hello EB,

Awesome ROM!

Any teaser for the next version release of simply honey?

Hi EB,

Is it possible to have the REC call bottom on the 2.3.4 or this is only available on the froyo rom.

Tmobile's data plan.

Hi EB,

I am playing Order & Chaos on this Rom with Wifi. The game updated itself to be able to play on the data network too. It shows it is checked but is faded out. Other people playing this game on their data network with Verizon and etc is playing fine. Is there a setting in the build of Simply Honey that can be changed for it to work? I didn't know if there is a limit on it or something in the build.prop file or some other file or maybe it is just T-mobile. Because when I try the data network it says no internet available.

:)

Thanks,

Supercharger Script/RAM usage

I am once again hopeful that this is "the" GB ROM that works. Almost 24 hours and nothing has gone wrong. I've actually tweaked the mess out of it with GPS fixes and although it does take a bit (5-10 mins) to get a lock, I got one of less than 10' this morning which I almost thought was an error. Anyways, I am assuming that the Zeppelinrox Supercharger script works on any Vibrant, and it did appear to install. I had been using Auto Memory Manager which worked fine, I guess. One OCD little thing: I have used SeePU forever, and with every prior ROM (mostly FroYo, at least for any length of time) the RAM bar on the right would turn green after bootup and stay green till I do something. On this ROM (possibly all GB's?) it stays in the yellow area till I long press Task Manager and clear out the RAM. Even then is sometimes stays yellow. Perhaps it's not even important, but I assumed that with all the inherent GB optimizations that there would always be an abundance of free RAM? Can anybody give any insight as to what is actually going on in it's little Android-brain? TIA...
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Gingerbread is actually just the opposite when it comes to ram. Even using ram management tweaks and tools it usually stays in the range of 250 used. I saw that not having used other roms or phones. I actually feel that it is most of the problems we've seen. For a time it was the music player and now its phone service. Now I know how android is supposed to manage ram and free ram isn't necessarily better. We are using a priority script that is supposed to give things like phone and launcher ram priority over other things but I think more testing and tweaking is needed before its perfected.
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Great answer, EB. So, am I actually better off disabling/uninstalling the Supercharger and going with what is already in your ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] Majin_X:
well I think I've solved the phone FC problems for me at least. This is what i did.... thanks to a helpful post from KYLE51 some time ago ( he said that if you check "stay awake" under applications/developement and let the phone charge that way, it wont discharge once it hits 100% ) I came up with this. With "stay awake" checked, I opened the battery calibration app and let it sit there until it was full.... be careful not to calibrate too quickly... my levels would say 100% at 4187mv.. I left it there and after a few mins it changed to 4190mv... then a few more mins and it changed to 4192mv....it even dropped back to 4190mv and back up to 4192mv a couple of times to trick me. after another 10 mins went by i noticed that it would not pass 4192mv and it wasnt dropping back either. I unplugged it and it stayed at 100% at 4192mv ( same reading before I pulled the plug ) so I calibrated right then and there. Then I let it discharge on its own through normal use, it shut off at around 3%. I knew there was still juice left so I just popped it into download mode and let it just sit there till the screen went black. I plugged in the phone and waited for the battery icon to show... when that screen started to dim, I powered on the phone. when it booted, it was at 0% and charging. I let it sit and charge using the same method as before.... although for some reason after a reboot you have to re-check the stay awake option. If my memory serves me right kyle51 mentioned this before. after it was completely full ( this time my phone topped off at 4190mv ) I let it get down to 10% battery and started a phone call. I talked for for 35 mins and kept checking the battery.... it shut off at 1%... so I'm content with that.. hope that anyone having random reboots considers this battery calibrating method...

Thanks I wasn't sure so I figured to ask.

Hi

I have a Vibrant on Eclair stock, not rooted, no lagfixes...

I flashed following the instructions for Eclair users (using Odin 1.3 )

but I soft bricked it : the screen was really weird looking and the robotic voice was saying something like "not enough space for re-partition" ... :confused:

anyway I re-flashed it now to Eclair stock, but I would really like to flash Simply Honey, what could I have done wrong in the first time ?

PS : when I flashed with Odin, I did tick "Re-partition" , is that the issue ? should it be unticked ?

or does the phone have to be rooted before flashing the Rom ?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
the funny screen is the rainbow because you dont have the GB bootloaders and the voice is voodoo being gay so just go to recovery and disable it if it does it again

but just odin the bootloaders and just flash over stock

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

Another easy flash. I got the two battery widgets to report the same by turning off the phone, charging to 100%, bump charging five times, then flashing while off. One reset, and a strange graphical thing with the InfoAlarm widget that I haven't had time to play around with. The only other things is I can't make calls from my bluetooth and I can't find any way to alter the status bar. The Jkay app doesn't have it. I think EB said to reflash in that case, but I'll search when I get back.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Mod the status bar in settings/lockscreens/statusbar
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
And on a lighter note I will release a 5.1 as a final, most likely, of JVR sometime later in the week. Final of course barring any new developments.

Preview:

Updated GPS

Updated and more themed market

Fixed stock browser

Other things as yet undetermined.

Maybe a just in time for back to school surprise...we'll see but I'm optimistic.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
i just got a reboot on a call @ 55% battery.....im thinking of flashing back to stock and installing SH all over again. unless theres another option? i'd prefer not to have to start over again. it may help with TW4 freezing the phone up, but i REALLY dont wanna start over.

i was used to the reboots below 25-30, but not at 55.....

help?
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
sorry to post so much, but instead of flashing to stock, should i just factory reset/wipe data?
[Vibrant Android Development] shadow_cruiser:
I get reboots in call all the time, doesn't matter about the battery percentage. I tried flashing back to stock, wiping everything, then flashing to SH and wiping everything, still the same thing.

Another user above said this is a common problem to search for "call reboot" in this thread. I tried but the search is not specific enough with too many matches. Not sure if there's a fix or just a common occurance with SH
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
Don't mean to butt in but I think everyone should just relax and call it a day. Wats down is down so move on and lets get back to the rom and trying to help people out
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes only wipe data factory reset first and reinstall and calibrate battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Not limited to SH. Actually across the JVR builds. A reflash, not Odin to stock but rather just reflash and proper battery calibration seems to be the only answers right now.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
and you say reflash, just reflash the rom w/o wiping data?

how do i calibrate when i have two batteries? just once for both? or once each for both?
