Yeah GPS and better battery but I've given up on the GPS anyway and I scored 2 extra battery's with a charger for a penny on eBay plus 9.99 shipping and 3 weeks for them to come from Hong Kong.
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
yes true honeycomb if for tablets but as you probably already know is that people especially vibrant owners always want what is far reaching for them.
[Vibrant Android Development] BowLow:
Is there a way to port the lock screen for v3 to the pro edition.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The short answer is no. However there is an app on the Market called screen off I think that will do the same type of thing.

My bad, you are talking about how the screen shuts off like the old TVs.
[Vibrant Android Development] BowLow:
Yes the screen off animation. Thanks for the answer I was on v3 but for some reason when folks call me I can only hear them on speaker phone everything else was perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Right use the included headset widget for now. Hopefully I'll have a fix for RC2.

Oh I know it takes an extra second but just answer and back out and click the widget. I think its been fixed but I don't yet know what it is.

Additionally there is an app out to calibrate the battery without having to go into recovery. I'll post a link in the open when I get to my computer or check out the XDA front page for latest news.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Can anyone report on the battery because im on cm7 and it is horrible? I hope this is much better.
[Vibrant Android Development] BamaQ:
Got the rom up and running in no time, but I can't stand the Honeycomb look (even though I love blue). Is there a traditional GB theme for this rom or will that be something further down the line?
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Go to the I9000 themes section and any theme compatible with the JVB rom is compatible with rom. There are a few "AOSP" gingerbread themes out there.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Two issues

1. Touchwiz 4 is too slow

2. The theme is too ugly. Anyway to get the traditional theme back?

thanks

Anychance we'll see BLN integrated into this kernel?

Seriously.. Why even post this?? Not only does it have Nothing to do with bugs... Etc , the answer to your question was literally posted an hr before you posted and is the last post before yours.....
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
similar issues as the OP, after going up to 3.3 update1 from 3.2 bluetooth has a mind of its own..sometimes it works sometimes not, reboot will help most of the time. wifi the same...all in all i'm not that bothered by it i love the progress, i can always jump back to 3.2 (which is Rock Solid for me) if needed. just info for the FYI's...thanks!

Simply Galaxy is really great, my favorite out there...
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
has anyone tried the speedmod kernel for gb?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Other kernels require a change to keylayout. Pretty simple but required.
[Vibrant Android Development] jstevenson1017:
Quick question, does anyone know how to change the color in the text the background orange is not working for my wife... any help would be great.

And anyway wifi calling works on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] gmodprince:
first off op keep up the good work been rocking this rom for the past month working beautifully i have just one question im trying to put backtrack 5 on my vibrant theres been some issues with those not running the latest version of busybox i was wondering would installing the latest version break anything in the rom
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
I do apologize for any misunderstanding. I posted that post from Vibrant, and just try to keep it as short as possible.

1. I do found the touchwiz 4 is too slow. Clicking any icon need more than 10 secs to respond. TW4 runs ok before 45 apps installed, and after that it is barely usable.

2. The GB launcher runs well with tons of apps installed. But it always runs very slow after a few hours use (only 20% left when it got slow.). I am not sure it is because of CPU scaling or other bug, and I don't have any CPU scaling app installed. Resetting solves the issue even the battery is still below 20%. Therefore I guess it is a bug.

3. As to the theme, frankly say it is not that ugly. But I don't know what's those icons for without reading the label. For the traditional theme I can just turn off the icon text without any confusion.

4. I have a bluetooth GPS which works beautiful with this ROM.

5. Neither Wifi nor 3G can be turned on easily. Most of time I need check/uncheck several times to make it work. Sometimes even need a reset to make them work.
[Vibrant Android Development] lagunas11:
Dam im still impressd with the battery life!! Its unbelivable!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
try reflashing i dont have any of these problems i have 80 apps installed and my tw launcher is blazing fast, and battery life is great, my wifi works pretty well too
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I'll address this personally since you were kind enough to elaborate on your comment about the theme which I was going to ignore.

1. Touchwiz4 is removed from the next version and will be available as an add on for those who want it. I personally don't have an issue but I'm also clearing my dalvic cache at least once a day right now testing things.

2. The GB launcher has always been slow. There are like 20 launchers on the market that are free.

3. As to the comment of ugly well thats just low class. It's a matter of personal opinion and as stated many many times there are plenty of themes to chose from in the i9000 forums. The icons were chosen to give the most consistent look. Trust me I searched high and low for a collection that had everything and the closest I came was two collections that very much resembled each other.

4. See there ya go, someone get that man a cookie.

5. All connection issues have been addressed and fixed in the next release. Bluetooth, wifi, and super fast data speeds. Yes right now its hit or miss working great for some not for others.

And on that note the next release will be 2 days.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
I have noticed some lag too but I'll start a fresh flash with next version.like I said before themes are in i9000 forums anything jvb compatible. In order to toggle data use a widget from market called data toggle widget.working great for me, no problems yet
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Ok all a decision has to be made and id like your input.

There are several reason that a kernel change needs to be made not the least of which is the inconsistent connections to bluetooth or wifi that some are seeing.

That said at this very moment there are only about 2 kernels to choose from. The first puts us back with the headset toggle and the second fixes headset perfectly but messes with auto rotate. The auto rotate still works but not as expected.

So my question is which is most important? Personally I dont use auto rotate but I know some of you do. And of course I will be trying to get us both.
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
Good to know ....can't wait for that. Having just finished testing out a different rom for 2weeks....I must say that this is the standard bearer for 2.3.3 for the vibrant....my quadrant scores are up, my phone is flying and I'm glad to be back. TW4 is giving issue on all 2.3.3s for vibrant ....I went to LPP and problem solved...no lag just an occasional rainbow or two. All in all ....the best just keeps getting better! !! To all new flashers just read and follow the op,change the launcher and don't underestimate the power of a well timed reboot and you should be Gucci
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
Are those the only differences??? What about battery life??? All else being equal....give me the headset fix
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
I thought I would add as well that LauncherPro is smooth as butter on this rom and the new V 0.8.6 beta is out and here is the link to the apk straight from Fede's tweet.

It is working great running it right now, I just used the update option when I installed the apk (if you already have V 0.8.5) and I noticed there is support for icon pack support in the app launcher and now you can loop your screens when before you could go from last to first and first to last. Sweet update and the themes seem to be working just fine.

what's new?

Icon pack support, real homescreen looping

cheers

[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
I think the auto rotate can go broke as long as head set toggle works. If you can please get voodoo sound and color to work.

Thanks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Thanks a lot for the long reply. Except those a few "complains", I must say this rom rocks. The battery life is just unbelievable. Stable and fast.

My only wish is the next version can have a non-wipe option. I have more than 50 apps and 100 games. It really takes too much time for re-install everything (esp for this version I first bricked my phone, then format internal storage by mistake, all data lost, but it is all my mistake).
[Vibrant Android Development] Devin5277:
I really think that the people with problems with lag and the launcher is user error. With that I mean not wiping completely, and not waiting the FULL fifteen minutes after a flash. That part is very important. Then reboot. Do nothing else. Let it sit for 5 min. Then sync Google, then reboot again.. Some might think that is overkill, but me doing it this way I have had absolutely no problems. As for a normal reboot, in my case I have 2 batteries so o just swap when needed... But... I.do wait at least the time is takes for the media scanner to complete before I start messing with the phone.. I haven't had a problem with speed from the launcher. I just think peeps need to be a little more patient after a boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] Devin5277:
And for the peeps with a ton of apps. The folder option on Tw4 is very nice.. should try it
[Vibrant Android Development] cezzarmicu:
This is really odd then... I only noticed the problem after having downloaded a file to my phone, via wifi, and then failing to activate bluetooth (I was supposed to send the file to my friends phone). I did successfully send the file after I did the reboot. Only to find out that after using the BT, successfully sending the file, I could no longer use wifi (I could connect just fine as indicated by the toggle, but I kept getting the no connection error) until I rebooted again :( - this happened twice in a row so it should really be an issue with my phone, or flash

It's not a big issue though as I don't use BT all that often. Just wifi ;)

I guess I won't reflash anymore, but will wait for the update instead (in 2 days :D)

Thanks much!
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
So the bluetooth is a problem? I have exactly same problem. Working bluetooth can not be turned on after a few app installed. I thought it is my using error and re-flashed to iron the problem out. My BT works so far, and hope it can be no problem until next update.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Can anyone post a direct link to the kernel that gets rid of the rainbows in the camera and video? Got this set up for my wife and I just need to get Netflix working now.

I don't have access to a PC atm so its hard browsing around.

Thank you!!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The kernel is included in the latest release 3.3.update 1. Just give your phone a few minutes after each boot to settle and youre good. and its in the op add on section.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
That's what I thought... but I waited for atleast 30 min twice and it still did it. Odd.
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
Just let the device sit for 5 minutes after you boot and they should all go away, mine did and I do not have any of the rainbow action right now. If you still have this problem reboot and wait give it time to complete its thing. If you still continue to have this problem then reflash the ROM and make sure you follow the directions in the OP.

UPDATE:

I just double checked Youtube, the camera app and video app and no problems here........

.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
I reflashed the kernel and now its working. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] jh180:
explodingboy70 great work! I mashed the "thanks" button.

I was coming from BionixNextGen1 running the Bali Kernel and voodoo was of course enabled. when i first flashed this following op instructions to the T, upon first boot attempt i encountered a boot loop (another poster coming from a similar rom encountered the same thing) I knew it was boot looping right away but waited the 15min anyway and proceeded to battery pull and reboot to no avail. I ended up having to Odin back to JFD and installing simply honey and all was well. I noticed via the ext4 app that all partitions were formated as RFS, correct me if im wrong but i thought GB ran EXT4 natively? Since i had voodoo enabled when i first flashed this and voodoo was not already enable for simply honey, couldn't this have caused the bootloop? I didn't even think of disabling voodoo since i thought GB was EXT4 natively and i already had voodoo enabled.

Prior to enabling voodoo and OC'ing to 1.2htz i found the rom a bit choppy and with some lag, but its much better now (albeit not remedied)

One thing i noticed was the"power control" widget doesn't work, it does populate the homescreen but all the button toggles are missing. BLN support would be nice and a black framework would make this perfection!

I hope you dont take my input in a wrong way, regardless i still think this is a great rom and worthy of some accolades.

Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
In regards to the power widget not populating drag down your pull down menu from the taskbar and hit any of the items like "bluetooth" and then turn it off if you like then check to see if your power widget is populatated.

I had this problem and OP filled me in

UPDATE:

I had not checked my power wiget after flashing and my power widget was not "populated" and after using the pulldown it is "populated" now so it is still the same as before............thanks to explodingboy70 for the tip!
[Vibrant Android Development] cezzarmicu:
The power control widget does work. Just have it populate any of your homescreens. Then try to activate wifi or bluetooth and you will find the power control widget icons already there - and working ;) At least that's what I do to make it work on my handset :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jh180:
AWESOME! worked perfectly! Funny how that simple task made it work, thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] draven806:
Personaly l dont mind having to use the head set toggle. I think id prefer to have auto rotate working
[Vibrant Android Development] remixfa:
neither are as important as battery life to me... which has been greatly increased on the new kernel. Of course, now I'm seeing a lot of random freeze n reboots when doing anything from texting to netflix. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Also, for the previous poster.. the smoothness will come after a day or so. I was running it at 100/800 and it was perfectly smooth. I jacked it back to 200/1ghz hoping that it would stop some of the freeze/crash.. but it hasnt. Ill probably odin and reload this evening to see if it helps with it. Anyone else having similar issues?
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
having same problem, i ended up clearing the cache for the homescreen WARNING though it deleted all my icons. Phone runs some what smoother but still a little laggy at time but not as bad as before where it would take almost 5 minutes to leave Engadget or other apps. It also got better once i uninstalled setcpu. I am also having an issue where sometimes the mic just stops working. Even when i toggle speaker on and off I have to hang out and call back. I am on my 3rd flash and 2nd download.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
My 3G can not be turn on today. The new installed LPP also runs slow after a few hours usage.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
All is fixed in next release. Complete rebuild and no more cf-root
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
the one thing ive noticed is whenever i try to add a widget or an app to one of my homescreens it sometimes just locks up my phone and it wont let me do anything.......anyone else have this problem? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
You must be using tw4.try regina3d or go launcher.free on the market.works great with this wonderful rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emalasto:
yeah i had been using LPP before but it started bugging out on me so i had to switch back but i might just use the GB launcher
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
same problems with LPP.. switched to Zeam, which i really like and seem to always end up going back to.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
when i charge the battery, it shows that it is fully charged. When I disconnect the USB, the indicated in the upper right corner shows me at 95%. I plug it back in, starts charging. Again, fully charged, unplug, now it shows 98%.

Why does the messages not shows the same valves of the battery??
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
keep plugging in and then unplugging till it stays at 100 when u unplug then calibrate with the app in the op :)
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I have done that, but It works better if I charge the phone with it off, turn it on, charge some more. I have used the calibrate app twice since flashing this rom on Friday. I just want to charge to 100% and read correctly all the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

here is the link on how to install with bootloaders

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The bootloaders aren't being promoted on this thread for a reason. Sure I can tell everyone that if you load the bootloaders all issues would be solved less GPS but I'd also have to tell them that 1 in 4 of them would eventually end up with a shiny new paperweight.

Fixes for everything are being worked on by more than a couple people not only on the Vibrant forums but I9000 and Captivate as well. And from the reports in the last day or so we may have a fully working GB from Samsung sooner than later. I for one will gladly hold off on bricking my phone for a few more weeks or even months if need be. By the time Samsung drops GB for us we will have perfected it and probably be working on the next great build, Honeycomb, Ice Cream....
[Vibrant Android Development] xxflyingarmbarxx:
ok i finally got 3.2 fully working lol,now im trying to flash 3.3 but cant figure out how to do it without the recovery menu. i trie to update through cwm but with no success...anyone have any ideas without having to odin back to stocl,re-root,then flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
So do I convert to ext4 before or after restoring my apps?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Doesn't matter.

To the person before you use the kernel flashing method in the OP to flash a 2.2 kernel the boot into recovery. The rom is setup up to install on CWM2.5 the kernels that are included are CWM3. I've stuck with CWM2.5 as the install to make it easy to come from Froyo to this.
[Vibrant Android Development] David111jr:
Can you poast the bloat apps or tell me Where can I find media hub and game hub and the book hub... and the stock widgets

Battery not lasting

Loosing power like crazy. Unplugged phone, left for work and when I got to work, lost 15% with phone just sitting in my pocket on the ride to work. Don't know why MAPS is running for so long in background. I didn't even open the app. Hmmmm
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
Has anyone been able to get the new Google music app to work?? Mine FCs everytime I try to open
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Not sure why maps is running like that but I can make one suggestion.

Gingerbread has an issue with wifi sleep policy. Use spare parts+ and set wifi sleep policy to never.

That should help as well as calibrating your battery. The last thing is that battery does improve over time. Just needs to settle in to GB. As long as you're on a GB rom you'll see it get better even when flashing between GB roms.

Almost forgot to mention the added GB safety "feature". When plugged in the reaches 100% and then starts draining and will continue until unplugged and plugged back in. This is an annoyance for us who plug our phones in at bedtime. I was close to 90% last night when I went to bed and plugged it in this after 7 hours I was at 85%. This is a GB "feature" and a fix is being sought.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Mine spontaneous reset twice today. Can't keep it anymore since this is my main phone. I will wait tonight for the new update, then decide to keep GB or go back to 2.2.

Maybe try after update.....or re-flash I'm using LPP and my phone is very responsive and I haven't had rebooting or problem for most part since switching....I would try the update and if you still have trouble a different launcher just to see if there is compatibility issues....we all have the same phone but they are all different sometimes just trial and error will show you the way
