I dont doubt it bro. Good to have you. Thank you!

thanks bro
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That wasn't a put down was it? I was simply asking as I am not used to seeing my ROMS or ports of my ROM without users. Not that I really give a sh*t, but with the amount of work that go into these things for no charge at all it is nice to see someone enjoying it.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
I guess it was a put down adam...i guess he dont know what you do on this roms....he needs to research a little bit though.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Sure does. I will let that one go for now. I am just not used to being disrespected here at XDA with how involved I am with it. Some people just don't get it:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
Yeahhh man...we 'll talk about this later lol
[Vibrant Android Development] icarianecho:
I don't think that was a put down guys.

Shove seems gracious & levelheaded to me. Think he really means you're classy for the way you handled the port, etc.

And bosina: port over JS8 Unleashed instead, make sure GPS works, and clean up the OP & I think you'll kindle more interest.

I know I'll test. Been itching to throw nunhugger's work over something anyway.

Just my two cents ...
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Seems like a great idea Bosina;) Also, what ROM for the Vibrant offers the best GPS? I want to help the OP fix that issue. Only reason I ask is bc I created a custom GPS fix specific to the Captivate which is why you are having issues on the Vibrant with GPS functionality.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
Ohhh I'see...the best gps for vibrants is the s.gps.2 by jellette
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
You should probably wait for a response after you ask me a question rather than assume it "was" a put down. It was in no way a put down to either of you. And i was calling you classy because of the way you handled the situation and allowed your rom to be used.

But i guess with all the trolls around here it is difficult to give someone the benefit of the doubt.
[Vibrant Android Development] matyou98:
I will be flashing this once it has a working gps. Cant wait to try it out!
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
Well thats not far bro
[Vibrant Android Development] darktranquility18:
I flashed the s.gps.2 zip and well, its kinda on and off. It works maybe 2 out of the 10 times i used the gps test app.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
Me and adam going to work on it
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Well in that case I apologize for assuming. I am just so used to everyone being nice a helpful in my threads. I know this is not my thread, just a port of my ROM. My mistake. I hope you can forgive me:D
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
No worries bro! Thanks branching over and helping us out. Greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Not a problem. I love seeing Phoenix branch out to other devices!
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
hahahha me too bro
[Vibrant Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I think it is about time we shut this one down. It is making Phoenix look bad and I don't want that anymore. I gave it plenty of time. Please shut it down by the end of the day.

I called Tmo today and they told me I was eligible for a full upgrade. I found it weird because I just got my Vibrant in July last year. Anyways whats the best phone out there now? I hated my vibrant until I flashed it. Now I want to move away from vibrant. So what do you guys recommend? Should I just wait for the summer phones like the lg optimus 3d? Thoughts?
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Just wait, and you could trade your vibrant on Craigslist for the time being

I'd say wait too.

[Vibrant General] pegasus912:
Considering there is a high probability of AT&T getting the green light from the government to buy Tmobile, I wouldn't get locked in to a contract if I were you. Even though AT&T says they will honor our contracts, they have no obligation to provide services like 3G, which most tmobile phones don't support ATT 3G bands anyway. So if you upgrade don't expect the new phone to have 3G in a year.

I ran mik for a while, then went to miui. Mik is definitely faster and has better batter life, but it looks just like sense. I loved the feel of MIUI, but I can't find a really stable build and don't want to have to change kernels and versions every week. I just flashed Savaged Zen tonight and so far so good. Seems like a nice mix of the speed of Mik and some of the eye candy of MIUI. If you're looking for something great looking, MIUI is beautiful, but requires alot of maintenance.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LynnyW:
So, everything was fine as I shut down last night after reading a few pages from a book. Tried to power up this evening and it just won't cooperate. It won't turn on unless I hold the power button down for nine seconds. It starts up "with tap n tap" screen, then the n logo shows, then the "with tap n tap" flashes and returns to black screen then shows the "with tap n tap" for a total of eight times then stays black. No rooting, totally stock, used very little, few apps, added some reader stuff, tried a barcode thing to no avail - nothing more. Please advise. Take pity on someone like your mother! Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I contact Viewsonic or Woot? (yes, it's fully charged - first thing I tried). I'm so disappointed : (

Thank you
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I've seen this happen a few times with both stock and modded devices. I think it's caused by corruption in data files that are used by some of the system firmware but I'm not 100% certain of that. A data wipe could very well get you going again. Without being able to boot all the way you're options for doing that are somewhat limited. One would be to install and use ClockworkMod, a very minor and extremely common modification to the firmware. The other option that I have used successfully is a script I've written that will delete those system prefence files and clear the machines cache without modifying your firmware. Neither is terribly complicated to implement.

All that being said... it is really up to you as to how comfortable you would feel performing those options. I can say that you will find plenty of people here that will be willing to stay right with you until it's fixed and we have a very high success rate when it comes to recovering from this kind of issue. On the other hand, Woot has been very responsive to customers with problems so it's really your call.

This thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 has instructions for installing ClockworkMod. It has a lot of other information in it also but the important part would be installing CWM. It also has download links to the files. Once it is installed it is a fairly simple matter of booting the machine up while holding down the volume up key and you'll be presented with a menu of options that will include wiping data. Selecting that will clear out any apps you've downloaded and associated data along with the system data. Once done you simply reboot the machine from another menu option and you should be off and running.

My script is run very much like installing ClockworkMod but will simply do the deletion without any user intervention. When done it reboots automatically and in two or three minutes you should be back to the initial setup screen for the tablet.

All of this probably sounds a lot more difficult than it really is but I think if you take a look at that thread I listed above and do a little searching on terms like "ClockworkMod Data Wipe" you'll find there are lots of folks who have done this and plenty of help if you need it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
KJ and LynnyW,

Since he can't boot, he will either have to make a microSD with a CWM update.zip and recovery folder (with command file edited to point to SDCARD2 instead of SDCARD) and boot that into recovery with power/volume + .

Or, he will have to NVFlash the CWM by itself.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020747

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030042

The two links above have most of the info.

If he can get CWM up by one method or the other, need to go to Advanced Menu and tell it to Partition (2048 and 0), Fix Permissions and Wipe Dalvik Cache -- and then return to Main Menu and Wipe Cache and Wipe/Reset Factory Data. Then reboot.

If the tablet comes up fine we're good to go. Otherwise may need to talk about a

stock rom flash.

Hope this helps.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetzk:
I am running a stock system. Amazon market and a couple bird games are all that's really on it as I use it mostly to browse the web with. No flash no email, it's stock. So far I've limped through how to recover from the acore.process problem, then ended up learning how to use nvflash after what this user described happened twice so far. I am debating updating to a Dev rom if they are more stable as otherwise this is just a fragile toy that I can't take out of the house on trips.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdg2100:
Update. So much better it's unreal. Go with something stable like Caulkin, Vegantab, or TnT lite. Not only will you get the real Market, you'll be much happier all around. It can be much more than a fragile little toy. :D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I think the decision needs to be made as to whether LynnyW actually wants to start mucking about before we go suggesting modifying the recovery and repartitioning the tablet. In this case I think all that's necessary is a data wipe and that can be done without starting down a path that LynnyW may not care to follow. I certainly wouldn't recommend anything as extreme as repartitioning when the question asked is whether or not a call should be made to the manufacturer and vendor.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
KJ,

Take him where you want to go -- but if he can't boot up he's going to have to

get inside somehow. That's why I said I thought he would have to install CWM.

If you know some way to wipe or reset without CWM, go for it.

Rev

P. S. -- And I assume anyone that posts here wants to fix it unless that is not

possible -- and then they want us to tell them to go to VS or Woot or

whatever.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I meant no offense, Rev. She asked whether she should call woot or Viewsonic. I was just pointing that out. Not everyone is ready to jump into modding when they have the option of warranty return/replacement.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LynnyW:
waiting for Viewsonic call

Thanks folks. I don't want to go mucking about until necessary. I guess I was hoping for an easy fix/reset. I prefer not to send the tab for repair unless replacement is necessary. Not yet willing to put my toe in water of this vast new world of acronyms I know nothing about. My brother's voice echos in my head "you know just enough to be dangerous" (re windows). I don't want to void the warranty. I called Viewsonic and had to leave my telephone number for a return call. I'm hoping they can e-mail a file which I can copy to a microSD, pop in, turn on, and resume - until I have the nerve to install something more stable. I will let you know what Viewsonic has to say. They no longer operate at the toll free number listed on the website. Directed to another number where they answer the phone "can I help you?". I wonder what service they are using for tech support.

Lynny
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I have just such a file that might get you going. Posted it this morning here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030915

Feel free to look that over and let me know if you have any questions. The main caveat is that it will delete any user apps that have been installed. That may include factory installed apps that are stored in the user app area. If that is a problem I can modify the script to preserve them but then we might not be clearing the problem file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LynnyW:
Viewsonic should hire you!

Well, I received a call from Viewsonic tech support. The

moment

I finished explaining what happens on the screen, the tech said "I never heard of this. Ship it back." Whoa, no attempt to troubleshoot? I asked was there not a bootable file I could be e-mailed? After rephrasing and getting nowhere, I was not happy to be told to send this to LA for an unknown amount of time at my expense. I was told I could call back later when the manager was back from lunch. This is a far cry from the claim on the Viewsonic website:

"Got a question? We have the answers right here: documentation, downloads, tech support, software updates, product warranty and registration. Get the assistance you need, when you need it – right now. Find out how we stand behind our product, all the way."

The lack of speculation regarding what the problem might be makes me feel that Viewsonic farmed this out to a fly-by-night call center and the folks there were told to have callers just send in the hardware.

Sorry, I had to rant.

KJ, Viewsonic should hire you and your xda brethren. The files to clear the data worked. Yes, it did wipe out factory and user apps, but it got the tab working in five minutes. It also gave me a little courage. I will, after all, start reading about modifying this thing. I don't want to set it all up only to have it faint on me again.

If you have any recommendations for the least-likely-to-brick-it route, please advise. I have read a number of threads but there is so much information, and although there are numerous step-by-step instructions, I have no idea what the different roms do. I don't know where to start reading and I don't want to become an annoyance here. I will do my homework before I ask too many newbie questions.

THANK YOU!

Lynny
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
We understand the need to rant from time to time. No problem ;-)

Glad it got you going. I do want to recommend that you do a factory reset from the system settings also just to make absolutely sure everything was cleaned properly. It's under "Security" in the System Settings.

As for modding... read, read read. Start with the "Stickied" items in the General and Developer sections. You'll find references to basic procedures and cautions but always make sure to follow the developers instructions attached to the specific ROM you choose. As for the "Least likely to brick it..." I may not be the best person to ask since I routinely run experimental ROMs. I do like the TnTLite path for its stability, reasonable speed and close association to the stock ROM. Read as much of the threads attached to each one and ask questions if you need to. That's why we're here.

The EVO shift is just as good if not slightly better than the EVO b,c of its newer processor. It has a really good quality keyboard (one of the best i'v seen in a while), the screen size is not by any means "too small" and it also has really good dev support.

With that being said. Is it worth upgrading to?

Definitely not. Although it may be slightly better b,c of its hardware specs, it's just not nearly enough of an upgrade in processor speed to justify switching to.

P.S notice how i'm not just saying "The EVO is better! oooooo big screen!"

I'm looking at it from a realistic pov not a fan-boy pov.

Anyhow, DON'T DO IT!
