Same here. I have trying to ODIN, but my laptop doesn't recognize me phone anymore. Wierd thing is that when I plug it in while VIBRANT screen is stuck, the laptop recognizes it, BUT when I go into DOWNLOAD MODE, the laptop doesn't. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE????:confused:

SO..after much PANIC, I got it to work by uninstalling MINI-KIES and drivers and reinstalling. Laptop still didn't recognize, but I opened ODIN left the phone on VIBRANT then went into DOWNLOAD without unplugging and BOOM....ODIN recognized and reflashed to stock. Now to try all over again.
[Vibrant Android Development] da0ne:
same is happening to me even after i odin back to 2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
What is happening?? I am still finishing ODIN to 2.1 and will try REMIX version. or shouldn't I???
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
UPDATE: Been stuck on the following in ODIN:

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> cache.rfs

<ID:0/005> modem.bin

<ID:0/005> factoryfs.rfs

I must say, I really appreciate all of you "martyrs" out there who are trying this and not having the best of luck. I saw this and immediately downloaded but something said to hold up on the flash until I see results of others.

Jcc and the TH crew is doing a fantastic job with these roms, but I am more than thrilled with Toxic Baby until I can see some positive feedback and a much more user friendly way to port this rom to my vibe.

I wish you guys the best in getting your phones back to being functional....
[Vibrant Android Development] crunkhead18:
How come I cant restore my contacts? :( any help.please...
[Vibrant Android Development] aabritt:
This has stumped me to no end, lol...

Ok looks like Im gonna be pushing stock 2.1 today.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but as of right now Black Ice Remix does not want to play nice with me. I decided to Odin back to stock 2.1 for a clean fresh start before flashing Black Ice Remix and I followed the normal procedure as I have flashed any other ROM in the past:

1. DL and copy Remix to my SD card.

2. Odin back stock 2.1 JFD.

3. Root & DL Rom Manager.

4. Flash CWM/Reboot into Recovery.

5. Green Recovery is what comes up.

6. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

7. Flash Remix from zip on SD Card

8. Wipe Cache

9. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats, Fix Permissions

10. Reboot

After the final reboot, my phone went into a cycle of Boot-loops on the Vibrant main screen. Something's off or I'm missing something. :confused: But I'm gonna run on stock 2.1 today while at work, that way if its figured out whats causing the Vibrant Screen "Boot-loops" (LOL :D that almost sounds like cereal).

@adyscorpius I appreciate your help earlier though I couldn't seem to get this running. Thanks man :)
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
Well..Totally screwed here. My phone is now dead. I can only get the "PC ! Phone" logo on the screen. Any ideas anyone..PLEASE!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
That exclamation mark screen with Android one side and phone on the other?

Its simple... Go to download mode, the way you usually would. You will however see the same screen and not the yellow one that comes otherwise...

ODIN should recognize a COMxx port on it. Xx being some number.

Flash to JFD, and JFD only with repartition and Phone bootloader update checked... once it reboots, you should have ur phone fine and running...

Thank if that helps...
[Vibrant Android Development] aabritt:
If you know how to Odin back to stock, you can do it from that screen. I had that happen to me and I tried and tried getting back to the Download Screen, but Odin was able to identify my phone from that screen and I was able to get going again.
[Vibrant Android Development] HAvoktek:
Holy Sh**T this is beautiful!!
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Well, I just tried with ODIN to stock and flashing this again, and yes, its going into the same bootloops. Worse is I cant use the recovery too, so Odin'd back to stock and Nandroid restore.

I tried other forums, and they say you need to b on ext4 before you flash this...

But guess I'll save that for later... Have to go somewhere and need a functioning phone...
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
Which Odin did you use? I am using 1.7 and Odin does not recognize anything connected.:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] g2tl:
no gps on 2.3.3 I assume?
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
quick question...

So can flash Black Ice2 on top of Toxice Smoke 2.9.2.?
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
The exclamation mark screen with the phone picture two dots yellow triangle exclamation two dots and pc. Which ODIN also? I am using 1.7. Still no recognition. :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8420/hum1e0.jpg

This thing, right ??

Your phone should be able to still get recognized by adb...

use your command prompt and run "adb reboot download"

and the system makes a sound of the phone being connected, ODIN like you usually would, with Phone Bootloader Update checked and repartition checked...

Edit: You would want to remove the battery and all such wires, SIM, sdcard etc first, and replace them once the phone is back to normal...
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Ok so my battery issues solved and back to toxicity! Will flash after work tonite. Let me know if you want anything to be tested or tried.
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
Can GPS Work?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Ok fellas seems like everyone is having problems getting this going. Ill go ahead and pull it. I flashed this at least 10 times before posting and thought the instructions were sufficient. On the otherhand if anyone has ran into problems Odin and all will be well. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
JCC, what are you flashing this over? Rfs or ext4 and what kernel??
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
I'll Pm you.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Odin will restore phone For anyone having issue. Trust me it does!!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] mulcahyd:
I flashed it on my vibrant last night. No problems yet. The battery life I have so far is over 12 hrs.
[Vibrant Android Development] luhanquoc:
Does it work on T959 Vibrant ?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
A million dollar question. :D

EDIT: Yes! xD
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
dude...this is the vibrant section..
[Vibrant Android Development] luhanquoc:
Thanks so much y'all ...^^
[Vibrant Android Development] mulcahyd:
The rom changes your model number to T959V	from T959. The rom does work on a samsung vibrant. All roms in this section are for our vibrants. This rom is a port.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Thanks for confirming that it works. I flashed 3 different. I9000 jvb Roms early this morning before posting and didn't have any issues at all per the instructions I posted. However I don't seem to understand why so many are having issues. All one had to do was flash black ice2 and after flashing while still in recovery flash i9000 rom flash a vibrant modem reboot and that's it. I'm typing this from juwes 4.1 domination rom on my phone. Anyhow I will reupload black ice without. Hack shortly.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
:) So I can flash this onto my existing ToxicSmoke 2.9.2?

I have a Kb1 modem file saved to my phone but is about a month old. Do you have the i9000 rom flash of the Kb1?

Thanks JC.

Really love the Toxic Rom 2.9.2. And I am ready to flash Black Ice.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gerr1985:
get that link up :)
[Vibrant Android Development] luhanquoc:
Yup...Get that link up :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] nelson0140:
crap i saw the OP for the hacked version and couldnt d/l it this mornin before work to try it out... :( any way i can get the hacked version so i can try this???
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
Nope still nothing. Ordered a usb jig. THE WAITING STARTS..NO PHONE TILL THEN :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Toxic Ice Vibrant 4G link without hack is back up!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] j8dailo:
not sure what happened..i almost thought the rom bricked my phone but i was odin back to stock...it was stuck at vibrant screen and no button would work..
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Yep odin will restore phone if there are issues. Then you can either reflash favorite rom or restore nandroid backup. It's really simple.Glad everything worked out for you.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Unless you flash a totally wrong kernel, you can never really brick your phone... Even the worst case scenarios of accidently.pulling the wire will flashing things can be corrected by just ODINing to JFD...

All those who arent able to reboot into download mode, try removing the battery for 15 min and retrying, it helps...

Also, if ur gettinf the android guy with the computer after flashing this, you might want to update ur adb drivefs to support 2.3.3

That could be a reasom why ur phone aint getting detected anymore by ODIN...
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
this might be a dumb thing to ask, but have you tried using a different usb port on your pc or just restarting your machine? that has fixed odin not recognizing my phone in the past.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
100% Sure its not bricked. Ive gotten that yellow box numerous times when I pull usb frrom phone prematurely. All one has to do is put phone back in download mode and odin. Clears everything up.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Ok since I didn't get an answer.... lol

Ok I asked about 4 times and never got an answer...

LOL.

Guess I will go ahead and flash Toxic Ice onto my existing Toxice Smoke 2.9.2.

Guess we don't have to flash Kb1 now after flashing Toxic Ice? Since the newer links been added?

Hope it doesn't brick....

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
LOL

So far so good...

I see the dude walking and thinking "Haters going to Hate."

Got to the first screen...

" Hey jcc332006 what are you doing with a picture of MY WIFE on your Rom...."

:) Now I know who she has been seeing on the side...
[Vibrant Android Development] ayoteddy:
Seriously.. vibrants dont brick easy there are plenty of work arounds.. id hate you (though.. idk you) to have such a nice device sittin around waiting for a usb and be phoneless.. So grab your usb once more...

When you get that yellow triangle and your trying to access download mode and can't.. pull you battery, ext sd card and sim card. Have odin open and ready, plug your phone in .. hold down both Vol. Keys and while holding, reinsert your battery. You now will be in download mode. :-) happy flashing

Hope this helps.. for other too for future reference.
[Vibrant Android Development] silverspoon80:
+1.

Windows x86 and x64 drivers
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Cool, it flashed ok...

Just flashed Black Ice onto my existing Toxic Smoke 2.9.2.

I follow the instructions to the letter...

And it booted up fine.

I let set for 15 minutes and rebooted again and no freeze up or problems so far....
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Kewl!
[Vibrant Android Development] lldtbll#teamwhiskey:
So why is it you say to download this "rom" and then from there we can download our favorite rom on top? Are you talking about i9000 gb or vibrant 4g gb? And why wouldn't we just roll with this, if this is the port. Would really like to flash but need some questions cleared up.
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:

What file is the backup of the phone's contacts list on the phone and not the sims card?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Talking about Black Ice Hacked Version that allowed you to flash I9000 Rom from CW when it was posted. I yanked it because there were too much confusion over flashing it. The rom in the OP is Black Ice but it's not the hacked version. Peace!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] s1lenz:
thank you for your hard work! does this mean the toxic baby is final at 2.9.3?
[Vibrant Android Development] usalee70:
I tried again on my PC and laptop and the computer doesn't even register something being plugged in. And Yes, before all this everything worked. I think I finally fried this beast.:confused: Any more suggestions????

NEVERMIND...GOT IT...I couldn't have done it without you guys. Thanks and remember...Have a spare full charged battery handy. That's all it was. YES!!!!

[General Questions and Answers] mkioshi:
Hi guys,

Since my Moto Milestone 2 (Droid 2) has become my primary gaming device, even at home, I was wondering if using a light launcher could make a difference in the most demanding games' performance (like Dungeon Hunter 2 HD which I get some bad frame rates sometimes despite having bought the correct version).

I use Go Launcher EX normally, but I'd be willing to switch to another just for my games. Maybe Zeamlauncher? Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Zeam is the lightest out there...excellent launcher!
[General Questions and Answers] bodson15@hotmail.com:
I've been liking ADW alot lately seems light and lots of options and themes.
[General Questions and Answers] mkioshi:
I used ADW because I loved the big iPhone like icons it let me customize. But it force closed on me a lot and I found it heavy compared to LauncherPro and especially Go Launcher. Trying Zeam now, seems really sweet but it'll be a while until I put all my apps in the respective places :D
[General Questions and Answers] mkioshi:
Oh btw I'm finding Launcher 7 quite light too. Not my cup of tea since I like having several home screens but maybe it's a good alternative for a games-only launcher when I run those things that slow down my phone (I'm addicted to Gameloft spent 50 bucks there lol)
[General Questions and Answers] nin478:
Launcher Pro
[General Questions and Answers] FCO2011:
I'd say zeam. Minimalistic, light on resources, and should suit your needs.
[General Questions and Answers] FLAC Vest:
Definitely Zeam. I've used them all and I honestly keep coming back and sticking with Zeam. Very fluid, simple, fast, and it just feels light. Of course you have LauncherPro if you want those widget add-ons; I personally don't use them so the launcher really isnt' that special to me.
[General Questions and Answers] jimmod:
I use Go Launcher and I think it's light enough.

I haven't try Zeam though.
[General Questions and Answers] sakai4eva:
+1 for Zeam. Launcher Pro and ADW is good for customization, but Zeam is lightest so far.

Gonna try out GO Launcher today-ish.
[General Questions and Answers] terrywong:
ADW Luncher ex
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Try Gingerbread launcher. Barebones basic but should be low resource.
[General Questions and Answers] gotcha13:
is Go launcher really that much of a resource hog? i havent noticed.
[General Questions and Answers] Prodigy:
Launcher Pro FTW,

Zeam tried, but too featureless and not worth it

IF YOU HAVE A HIGH END SMARTPHONE.

Launcher Pro provides the perfect mix of features plus stability.

Whereas, ADW EX is heavy on memory and has too many useless features for me.

Of course, this is all opinion ONLY :)
[General Questions and Answers] blogmaw:
I think FreedHome + is the lightest and fastest but not the most customizable.
[General Questions and Answers] mkioshi:
Nah, it's a light launcher. I'm just asking about Zeam and others because I want the lightest one possible, just to switch to when I get in the mood for heavy 3d gaming. For example I have absolutely no slowdown with Spider Man Total Mayhem, but since my favourite game, Dungeon Hunter 2, slows down a bit sometimes on my Droid 2, I'm asking to see if there's a lighter launcher. Even Eternal Legacy is smooth running GO. I'll report back when I have the time to test the barebone launchers people have suggested, I'll have time to test now that the house-moving craziness is done :-)
[General Questions and Answers] mkioshi:
Which one? I'm getting the one from Eugene373, but there's another one by Modaco with the same name. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jirotrom:
how do you change launcher
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Install new one, press 'Home' and choose which Launcher you wish to use from the prompt that appears.
[General Questions and Answers] efransiscus:
launcher pro is the most suitable for me :)

If I D/L a theme, can I just grab the dialer APK and push it? Basically, I jus twant a custom dialer. THANKS!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
Yes you can
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I would grab dialertapactivity.apk and phone.apk ( in call dialer )
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman512:
Thanks for the replies, which one do I push first?

Just tried both and would not install :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
It dont matter the order. Just download the theme and delete everything but those 2 apks and flash the zip
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman512:
Gotcha, thanks. I was extracting those two files, putting them on my SD card and trying to install. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Nope doing work that way. You would have to use root explorer to move them to system/app
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberwolf671:
No, what M.E. is trying to tell you is whatever theme that you have downloaded. And only want the dialer to install. Open the zip with 7zip or whatever program you use, delete all apk's in the zip except for dialertapactivity.apk and phone.apk. Don't delete anything else other than apk's not wanted. Exit the program and copy the zip to your SDcard and flash with CWM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I have not found any theme on any ROM anywhere for the Inspire based around a red feel...

I came from the Captivate and ran the Generation X Red theme on my phone. I'm not looking for a EVERYTHING IS RED theme.. mainly Black, with White text (main text, red for the descriptive perhaps), and Red accents to things like Battery indicator, Alarm icon, and also for the Checkboxes and adjustment sliders (volume for example) and download bars etc...

I'd like for it to be compatible with a GingerSense ROM. I'm not concerned so much with lockscreen or sense theming (?) as I'll be using WidgetLocker and Launcher Pro Plus anyway.. Main concern is the notification bar and screen, and the system theme.

Lets start this off with, say, $25?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedbreaker:
ive noticed that i get a 4g and a 2g icon but wheres the 3g icon? has anyone seened it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Travling through the middle of nowhere over the last 3 days I've seen, no signal, G, 2G, 3G, & 4G. It's there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
I also have not seen the 3G icon. I drive through the city and would think when I get out if 4G I would at least still be in a 3G area. Wonder if something may be wrong....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Same here but this is the first 4G device I have had and I know for a fact most of my city is covered by 4G. What is also weird is that in areas where I would have 1 or 2 bars with my Vibrant, it is telling me I have full bars worth of 4G with the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] death1246:
its there in the framwork i checked..

Im just wondering why it doesnt display 3G when its on UMTS... it sticks to 4G all the time...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedbreaker:
very strange in the instruction manual it also shows 3g icon!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
Rmoved

Sent from space
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
A lot of this has to do with the fact that T-Mobile's 3G towers == their 4G towers so if you're in an area where all of their towers have been upgraded to HSPA+ you will NEVER show 3G because you're always on a 4G tower. The only time you will show a 3G signal is if you're in an older area where they have pre-HSPA+ upgradeable towers. This is how T-mobile can say they have the biggest 4G network because almost all of their old HSPA/3G equipment has been turned into 4G equipment via software upgrades.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I have had my g2x for about 5 days and all I ever see is 4G or E never 3g. I have been checking in the settings/about phone/status and even when the phone is showing 3-4 bars of 4G it is still on umts. In the exact same location and within a minute or so when checking it with my Vibrant I will have 3 bars of H or 3G and in status it shows as hspda or hspda+. What is that about? I have checked this out at least 6 to 7 times a day and it is always the same only umts on the G2X and Hspda or Hspda+ on the Vibrant. I called CS and they wanted to send out another G2X I reluctantly said yes. I do really like this phone and will try to be patient but the device I have now has multiple issues. I am going to take the stance that this is an isolated case and the new one will be golden!!!:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokyomonster:
This is true. There's pretty much no need for a '3G' icon. Though, technically, it's debatable whether or not T-Mo's (or any other carriers) offerings right now are actually '4G' (according to the standards committees that define those things), but that's a different argument :P

tl;dr: T-Mo's 3G and 4G operate on pretty much the same technology, so if you're in an area where there was 3G, you'll probably have 4G. It doesn't need to switch back and forth or be toggled like the other solutions (looking at you Wi-Max)
[G Tablet Accessories] Supersanborn:
Am getting ready to travel overseas for a couple of weeks and have some long flights/train trips ahead of me. I was looking for a power pack that I could take with and keep the g-tab charged and stumbled across this one:

h t t p:/ /w w w.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP500-External-Blackberry/dp/B0013G8PTS

Everyone seems to like it, but I can't find anyone who has used it with a g-tab, and also, it looks like the connector would fit in the A/C port on the tablet.

Thoughts? Anyone used this?

TIA!
[G Tablet Accessories] Dueces99:
I dont know if it would matter, but the 'Trent iFuel' battery pack linked is a 5000mAh battery vs. the 3650mAh battery in the gtab. Didnt know if that would cause issues. Otherwise looks like a sweet find and I'd also be interested in seeing if anyone has tried this.
[G Tablet Accessories] Supersanborn:
From what I can gauge, the capacity doesn't seem to matter (someone mentioned charging their DX 3 times over using it in a review). I'm actually also considering the 11000mAh pack as well, but I'd hate to spend that kind of money to have a paperweight.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
looking at the compatibility list, its very unlikely that the pack will output any thing more than 5volts, the GTab requires more than double this voltage to charge.
[G Tablet Accessories] Supersanborn:
Thanks, I was wondering if that might be the case. Does anyone have any power packs that have worked for them?
[G Tablet Accessories] SoNic67:
Remember that you cannot take in the plane a suplemental Li-Ion/Polimer battery, only the one included in the device. They say is a risk of fire...
[G Tablet Accessories] GTablet:
Battery capacity which is what you are referring to does not affect anything. That is just the amount of power the battery holds.
[G Tablet Accessories] StanSimmons:
Not exactly...

http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org...fo/media/airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf
[G Tablet Accessories] Supersanborn:
Well and it sounds like either way this power pack won't be any good for the g tab.

Anyone have any experiences with this or others?
[G Tablet Accessories] Supersanborn:
Hi everyone, found this on amazon also :

h t t p://w w w. amazon.com/gp/product/B0029U2WZU/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004GTKX0S&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=12RAY1HVCP2PFS4J7XRJ

Anyone have thoughts on how charging would go for the g tab?
[G Tablet Accessories] StanSimmons:
The Energizer XP8000 or XP18000 will work with the ViewSonic gTablet when you use the NB06 tip.
