Hulu for Simply Honey 3.3

Okay I started fresh again.

Flashed and setup Simply Honey 3.3

I uninstalled Flash Player with Titanium

Reboot phone.

Install Hulu-1.apk and then Flah 10.2 Hulu_2.apk below.

Reboot phone.

Logged into Hulu. Selected video. video screen comes up blank. Tap on Video screen.

Hulu will start playing video with 15 to 30 seconds depending on network or Wifi.

Not sure if this combination works with Simply Honey 3.6.

I wanted the camera to be working so I stayed with 3.3

So I got Hulu and Netflix playing videos just fine. Yea.

Is ext 4 a move away from voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
i thought they were the same thing :confused: thought voodoo converted to ext4 and voodoo's just the name of the thing that does it or something so dont know lol
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yes voodoo converts to ext4 but also has the sound and color enhancements baked in.

I keep my phone on ext4.
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
I did this and my phone is showing snowy screens on boot and camera as well as freezing anyone ha e any ideas I can't get it cw unless I change kernal help me please lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
when i got boot loops first time trying to flash this i went back to stock 2.2 and it was well slow lol, yay for voodoo :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
reflash 3.6 through rom manager and factory reset and wipe dalvik ??

remember to back up :)
[Vibrant Android Development] domtru:
Done ext 4. Much faster! 1900 quadrant. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
yay :)

i get 1650 ish on 3.6

I tried but I can't get into recovery mode it just hangs on Samsung screen
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
try flash through rom manager as a rom

think eb said to flash any add ons like that

does it matter about voodoo or being ext4 or whatever when flashing add ons on 2.3 ??

edit: doubt it will work, that thread was made in jan so im sure eb would have found and tested it already

and its for hd2 so wont work anyway ??
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
When I do it goes snowy and stays that way I use rom manager pro

I can't view anything in cw I was on simply honey before I flashed the new one not 3.6 I did 2.3.3
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
iv reflashed through rom manager 3 times and wiped to try get my internet working but apart from that its ok

you set your rom manager at i9000 not vibrant ?? :)

how long it stay at vibrant screen ?? leave it awhile it might be doing its thing in recovery underneath it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
I got it flashed but all my videos and youtube are all rainbow looking a long with cam
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Give the phone a few minutes after startup and it will clear up.
[Vibrant Android Development] domtru:
Have you tried this?
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
So I finally took the plunge and installed this. It's awesome! Aside from the rainbows at boot, it's perfect. I'm still using cwm to flash things, just using android screencast to see behind the rainbows.

I'll be theming this rom this week, I've already customized the overscroll to a dark red.

And I have no problems with the camera, but I flashed the sgs2 camera which works perfectly! Even recording in 1080 and pics in 8mp mode works. I dunno if it's really 1080 & 8mp, but it works.
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Ok got it thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Were is screencast I looked in market but no luck
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
It's a java program for your comp. just google android screencast.

[Vibrant Android Development] Joeynathan:
What kernel do I dl outside the one pre installed for the best performance
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Its the only kernel presently available.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I'm hoping a voodoo sound/color & bln kernel gets made soon!

any custom swype packages available yet? Looking for a black /red one.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
There are two flashable ones in the I9000 forum under pauldiddy remix.. glossy black and one more.. no red.. the glossy black flashed no problem..attractive too... u may need to delete your current swype as it's a large file and you might not notice a change if there's not enough room in system app folder
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Nope I didn't try it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
I got everything working but it lags alot when looking at apps or home screens any ideas
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Give it time to work itself out it gets better.
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Ok so I just need to wait a few days? Cause sometimes I have to crash it by holding down the power key
[Vibrant Android Development] domtru:
Whoa, phone couldn't connect to internet both wifi and 3G. Took a few reboots. Something about apn. Huh. Working now.

Default gps working supposedly after this fix...

Really :D ? May be it is working on HTC HD2, but not on Vibrant!
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I came from 2.2, and honestly, I think I'll stay on simply honey. I only get the rainbows on boot, so there's no reason to go back.

P.s. I NEVER use gps, so it's not an issue for me

And for those who like black and red, I'll have a theme ready by next week.
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
I tried to flash the SG2 camera, but it didn't work for me. What steps did you take @thachosenone?
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
Just used screencast and flashed it in cwm
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Will screencast fix the camera, like it suppose to?
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
screencast's just a program that lets you see recovery through the computer

could just flash a 2.2 kernel then flash whatever you want in recovery then flash the kernel this rom comes with again from recovery then reboot and go

dont know where to get this kernel though, i'll have a look through i9000 forums and see if i can find it :)

edit: cant find it :( maybe someone else can and post link :)

dont do that way though until/unless you have the kernel on your sd card to flash or you'll have to flash the whole thing
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You can use any of the jvo kernels from i9000 for the purpose of getting back on the rom and the sgs kernel flasher and select the rom zip as your kernel choice to get back on the right kernel.

Or just flash that camera through rom manager making sure to select i9000 as your phone. I've flashed it that way a half dozen times.
[Vibrant Android Development] domtru:
I have ffc installed suggestions on how or what to use for video chat? Do I need to install a hacked camera or the one inside 3.3 is sufficient? Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] MECTHET:
I use both Tango and ooVoo. Both free on android market. Camera software in 3.3 works just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
can the swype add on be used for any rom, 2.2 or 2.3 ??

just wondering for roms i flash in the future that dont have it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Swype is phone specific and the reason I never changed the build prop from i9000 to vibrant. Don't know if its build specific, 2.2 or 2.3.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Samsung Galaxy S ginger Rom..

If I flashed the Samsung Galaxy S ginger rom from Samsung, Would the gps work?

I thought Vibrant was part of the Galaxy S series.

I have the 4 files ready to flash it.

I don't want to go thru the steps if it was a waste of time. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
the 2.3 gps drivers are specific (if thats the right word :p) for each phone i think and cos 2.3 isnt out for the vibrant gps wont work on any 2.3 rom
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Bummer... :)

I was going to try it.

But I like Simply Honey 3.3 and I have my Hulu and Netflix working fine.

So I didn't want to go thru the effort of re flashing. LOL.
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
eb said he was going through loads of different phones and trying the gps drivers but none of them worked :( need to wait for a proper samsung release :(

i dont use gps anyway so im not too bothered
[Vibrant Android Development] HRodMusic:
i cant install 3.6, i got the 3.3 done but once i try to flash 3.6 via rom manager i get stuck in a rainbow screen when it boots.
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
im having problems with my battery life.. i calibrated my battery like 5 times already.. the battery was 100% charged when i unpluged it and the next morning i unpluged my phone and it wwnt from 100% to 77% and i calibrated the battery again and the next day it happend again so whats the problem???
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
for how long ?? and did you set your rom manager to i9000 ??

recovery's still there under the rainbow, just cos you cant see it doesnt mean it isnt :)

reboot if it will and flash 3.6 as an update in the CWM app :)
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
dont use rom manager.... use the CWM app to flash the update.. thats the only way you can flash the update
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
probably got something going in background

mine goes down more than 2.2 roms but only like 8% over night, i havent calibrated mine either
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
yea mayb thats y but i dont get it kuz i charge my fone when i go to bed and i keep looking at the battery and it shows it 75, 85, 95% so if its showing that its charging why it goes from 100 to 77% if it showed it was charging properly.....
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
checked whats been going in 'battery use' in settings ??
[Vibrant Android Development] HRodMusic:
where do i get that from?
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
if you're on 3.3 update 1 or 3.3 u shud have it but if you dont go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108 once you're there look for a kernel that says CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip download it to your phone or somputer.. if you download it to your computer you need to extract the TAR file from it and once you extracted it send it to your phone and download sgs kernel flashe and choose the TAR file you extracted and flash it and once you flash it the cwm app shud b there BUT the home button doent work so thats how you do it
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
its already on 3.3 just called CWM, click flash update then find 3.6 and let it do its thing :)
[Vibrant Android Development] HRodMusic:
thank you so much im soo dumb, such an easy thing to do lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
it doesnt matter about that kernel, just put 3.6 straight over 3.3, i did and works fine :)
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Bluetooth...

I have 3.3 and I just tried my bluetooth and it won't turn on. Is it my phone or the rom. :)

I rebooted and it is now working.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
There was a problem with Bluetooth on 3.3 but fix in 3.5 and up.

For the person with battery as well same deal. Also when you calibrate make sure to plug and in plug several times until you get a true 100 unplugged. If on 3.3 move up to 3.6 as the battery drain at 100% while still plugged in has been fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] HRodMusic:
it worked perfect thx!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
np :D glad to help
[Vibrant Android Development] bush2088:
cwm manager says "current kernel unknown". is this bad and if so, how do i fix it?

thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
CWM app is an app specifically designed for cf-root kernel and while some functions of the app work with other types of kernels, in this case voodoo, some do not. Once you come past 3.3 its normal for the app to say that and it should only be used for flashing purposes.
[Vibrant Android Development] whereisit:
How do i go back to 2.2.1? im current running Simply Honey 3.6 Revolution. I tried with rom manager n got stuck at rainbow screen and didnt successfully flash 2.2.1 ... any idea how i should do it?

Working on that and GPS.

[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
WORD!
[Vibrant Android Development] ppcmaster1:
Thanks for the help everyone, i just tried again the 3.1 kernel and it works great. I am still at RC1, and i have a question, when i have a missed call, i go to the phone to see it, and it always shows me the last person i called, and not the last person who called me..... anyways, maybe it's just a little thing i don't know how to fix, but none the less, this is shaping out to be the most solid 2.3.3 rom out ther imho. Have a great day :)
[Vibrant Android Development] bert269:
Can you please....PLEASE.....

Explodingboy70...

Can you please include (or modify) the Gmail app to make it transparent like the Simply Galaxy Pro version. I really like that and the only reason why I am still on that 2.2.1 ROM. But I would really like to try (and use) this ROM since I want to go to 2.3.3 - but do not dare to loose the trans-Gmail...

Please, please. Can it be done?

Thanks for your great contributions to the Vibant!

Wifi-Calling....

Does this bye any chance have Wifi_calling?

Been waiting and hoping someone can get this working so i can flash.

Looks Awesome... Can't wait to flash this bad boy.....

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Is there an Arabic support on this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I haven't found the proper dictionary to add that but wanted to let me get with Simone and find out about adding it. Non of the languages listed are what you need correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Recovery Screen on Phone

ExplodingBoy,

I've been itching to try this rom out, the only thing keeping me from flashing this rom is the fact that you can't see the recovery screen once it's flashed.

I'm hesitant because I've never used ADB or SDK.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is, if there is no other way besides ADB or SDK?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Short answer is no. The long answer is if you know how to flash kernel by the method in the OP and don't mind abusing your phone then you can do anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
So ready for rc3!

Couldn't we just use rom manager to flash .zips ect.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
why don't you just use odin to flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
fix GPS already
[Vibrant Android Development] CLopez92868:
Odin

I am at work and can't use odin.

I was thinking of flashing the rom like all the others, my concern was not being able to see the recovery menu once I have this rom flashed on my phone.

I know odin is recommended to flash this but I was actually going to skip it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex9090:
I have gone back n forth from this rom to other roms without using odin. Just keep few kernels on your card and you will be fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Only English. I prefer an English running interface but to also be able to read Arabic sms, browse arabic sites and have arabic contacts..etc.

It would be greatly appreciated mate, many Arabs are looking for such a rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
If you just want a 2.3.3 rom that has Arabic support I know there is one done already I could port that over. Right now though unless you flash the bootloaders for JVK there are some issues to contend with plus battery life on this right now is terrible. Your better off sticking with a 2.2.1 rom as they are stable for Vibrant right now. If you want that I'll be happy to look into it also.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
You're probably right, I should stay with 2.2.1 at least for now. Can you give your 2.2.1 some Arabic support? That would be sexy.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No problem. I'll see what I can do.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
My advice only so you have a good flash is to Odin back to stock and start fresh. You could use SGS Kernel Flasher and flash a 2.2 kernel. That will get you into recovery then you should know what to do from there. Just wondering why you want to move away from this badass Rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] erad1:
I'm about to flash this to a friends Vibrant and just to be sure....coming from simply honey 2.8, does flashing the 3.3 zip actually flash the GB bootloaders? I had done my Captivate about a month ago but the steps to flash GB bootloaders were a.tar thru Odin only.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Exactly. Ditto. Um yeah what he said. I couldn't have said it better. I concur.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No bootloaders here. If you're comfortable with flashing them then just go to i9000 forums find the ones that are easy there and then come back and flash this.
[Vibrant Android Development] whereisit:
Thanks very much, oh because i find it drains so much battery, i dont know if this only my problem, i calibrated the battery but it didnt improve.
[Vibrant Android Development] erad1:
Sorry as I am a little new to the Vibrant processes and as its not my phone I would like to be sure...but why the need to flash 3.3 first if there are not any bootloaders? And if the bootloaders arent there then is this 2.2.1 rom? I have found the Bls in i9000 as you suggested, thanks but if they arent necessary I might skip it.
[Vibrant Android Development] bush2088:
thanks ex, i appreciate the info.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Some have had problems, including deb's, flashing bootloaders on vibrant and therefore we have thus far avoided them.

If you do decide to use the bootloaders then no need to flash 3.3 at all. JVH required either bootloaders be installed OR be already running GB at least in my testing I've been on this and not gone back in awhile to test otherwise.

Edit: Oh and please read the OP about seeing recovery and rainbows if not flashing bootloaders. Also as far as I know this is the only kernel that will work with this rom. Others would require changes for keylayout and such.
[Vibrant Android Development] erad1:
Okay...I think I got you now but one last question would be that the Bootloader package contains an initial speedmod kernel...is it possible to use that kernel designed for an I9000 device on a vibrant? ( i realize that once I flash the Honey immediately thereafter it will be the roms kernel) but as far as I know you wouldnt, not positive about that. Thanks again for your patience in answering these noob-like questions for me...I guess as far as Vibrants and their roms I am a noob!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Your fine to use the kernel initially but to use this rom you have to use this kernel. Well you don't have to but it has the fixes in place for audio and keylayout. Using the other kernels will mess both of those up. As far as I know this is the only kernel that will work completely, minus GPS of course.
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Well, I got i9000 bootloaders working for me... What I did though was install LiDroid's ODIN Package, for 2 reasons... One its a good 2.3.3 ROM and he has customized the bootloaders for Vibrant... So once you're on there, then you come to Simply Honey and you would have no Rainbow issues and everything(Minus GPS) is flawless and awesome...

Bootloaders could be an issue in the past, but currently, I've been shifting pretty well between i9000 bootloaders on LiDroid's package and Vibrant's bootloaders from Eugene's 2.2 Froyo !!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just to add to that, I myself am on the stock bootloader and there is actually no need to flash back and forth between bootloaders. You try GB and don't like or maybe just need GPS for a trip then flash a Froyo rom as usual. Bootloaders are pretty safe but since there are many here who flash blindly without even reading a little bit I've not suggested them.
[Vibrant Android Development] HRodMusic:
why are all the lockscreens transparent? how do i change it?

fixed lol
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Make sense!
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
True, specially with people who come up with issues already addressed in the OP at times... You're right... But at the same time, all I want to say is, if you know what you're doing, and have figured out the possible solutions to any problems before getting into those problems, its ok...

I for one, made sure that the bootloaders for Vibrant are in hand with me, before hitting for the i9000 ones... But ya, its not something a dev would want to suggest and get bad name for...!!!

EB, your ROM is awesome... :D

Small request, can you add the beam on animation when turning the screen back on, like on CM7 and MIUI and LiDroid? It completes the full effect, which is otherwise only when the screen goes off...
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
How to flash ext4,is kernel 3.1 or 3.2 needed?

Edit:Since recovery will be hidden behind a rainbow.. You can use supercurio's Voodoo Control app from the market to enable/disable the lagfix.

Duh,I'm so dumb.
[Vibrant Android Development] erad1:
I was aware that the GB bootloaders are backwards compatible for Captivate roms so for Vibrant also, is good to know.

:D Thanks again...actually went with the Lidroid as the Odin method is a little more familiar and I can see each file and partition as they load...no problems and its up and running. I have also placed Simply Honey 3.6 on the SD card and will give my friend the option to flash that later today. (I'm sure he will) as Lidroid, though smooth, seems a bit minimalistic for my taste.

P.S. I went with Lidroid because actually never found the EZ bootloader thread until after I flashed :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
i think my no internet was something to do with because i odined back to stock rooted 2.2 when i got bootloops and not 2.1

i flashed back to galaxy extreme so i didnt have to disable voodoo and had no internet on that then flashed simply galaxy still had no internet

just odined back to 2.1 and flashed simply galaxy and it works now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Flashing back to use Gps..

Hi EB,

So do you have the Froyo on your SD card? Do you flash it from your phone or do you mean you use Odin to flash it so you can use the GPS. Also with 3.3 if you use Google maps the GPS works sorta. Lol. It will show you where you are within 600 meters. At least on mine it does. Google maps is the only map that seems to work for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The i9000 bootloaders are backwards compatible. I have a froyo rom on my SD card and can flash it anytime through recovery and because I have the bootloaders I can just flash back to this.

Yes maps works to a point as well as other apps that might need your location. If you need something like say barbers near me maps and other apps can get your network location. If on wifi you can actually get within feet. The thing you wont be able to do is use navigation.
