Wow, that sucks. Thanks for all your hard work with no help from Samsung.
[Vibrant Android Development] asdf916:
dang that blows. i guess it's time to move onto neo's ICS!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Well up hill battle from hear at least current ics is great! An GPS worked for me with no special add on needed
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Between that and a Vibrant developer (who hasn't actually released anything on Vibrant yet) abusing and threatening me personally over email because the Hercules repositories on the CyanogenMod tree are private (mind, I don't even control those repos), this phone is now done as far as we are concerned. Enough is enough. Threatening with professional "blacklisting", let alone the use of personal insults with F words etc over email because we don't open some repositories because they contain proprietary and/or non-working code is way over the line. We're done and sorry we even started.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Mamma nooo!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] mattb6288:
atleast i still have the latest nightly on my computer
[Vibrant Android Development] gunks:
Pretty weak.
[Vibrant Android Development] ppateel:
That's really messed up. Sorry you had to go through that. I guess this is a perfect example of the saying "No good deed goes unpunished". I have always appreciated the fact that you have given so much for the vibrant community even though you did not even own the device. Thank you so much for all the effort. It would have been nice if every body recognized that. It is sad that one selfish, ignorant person can ruin it for everybody.

PRP

PS: Although I would not call him a "vibrant developer" if he has not yet released anything on the vibrant yet. I have some much more juicy politically incorrect words for him but as they say , if you can not say anything nice do not say anything, I have NOTHING to say.
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
Thanks for all you have given to this community Atinm, sorry about the few jackasses that reside here.
[Vibrant Android Development] twotone8:
I'll still be sticking with CM7. Until I found this rom, my vibrant felt like it was missing something. Everything I need works exceedingly well. With the help of the streamline kernel, I have working gps, which is more than can be said of pretty much every other gingerbread rom out there.

Sorry for the bad egg. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
Don't believe everything you read; much of it -- especially the context and attempted twist -- isn't true.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Hey atinm in the Kang build of cm7 on this thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385613

They seem to have 911 working flawless. I seen 2 people posted that they called and it went through, is there a possibility that they maybe fixed the issue and you guys can merge it in?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Ignored...not worth the effort, and I don't want to revisit our last exchange.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Calling goes thru fine, the audio isn't routed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
People are so lame. Cm7 is the only reason I picked up a vibrant in the first place and imo the rom is done except for 911.

GPS never worked to begin with and it was better on your rom than stock.

Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] dpaul007:
That sucks balls. Thanks for all you did atinm!! I'll still be running CM7 until ICS is good with some gps.

I don't know who is killing the Vibrant more; Samsung, Tmobile, or the jack-wagons here that keep pushing devs away!
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
I feel your pain.. Market Restore drives me up the wall. I uncheck any "use Google to backup or restore applications.." features. Then after everything, I'll install Titanium and my Titanium Pro Key from the Market, then use Titanium to restore all of my apps.

I noticed this time around that I couldn't get my ADW EX restore to work, so had to rebuild my windows.. annoying, but not painful..
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
Anyone else having trouble getting cyanogenmod to show up in CW recovery (premium)? I have bionix-v 1.3.1 installed on my vib, but for some weird reason cyanogen isn't showing up in the download roms section, any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] pegasus912:
I'm having the same problem, it's not listed anywhere in Rom Manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] squish_123:
Alright, I'm pretty frustrated here but I think I figured out the problem. GAPPS won't install because I'm running CWM 2.5.1.2 correct? I read somewhere that I'll need to upgrade to 3+...

Thats all well and good except I can't seem to find anywhere on the web where I can grab whats known to be the latest version of CWM...

Also, why the hell would it serve me an outdated version of CWM from the market (before I flashed rom, I still have no market ATM)?

If someone could point me to the latest version of CWM it would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
How'd ya manage to get CM7 on your phone w/o CWM 3?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
People, we have pulled the ROMManager updates. They will be back when we have worked out some kinks.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
That answers that, thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] squish_123:
Good question I guess. Here's what I've done:

Started with 2.1 stock, then rooted using the All-In-One tool from the forums here.

From there, installed ROM Manager from the market, installed CWM recovery 2.5 from there.

Manually put the CM7 zip on my SD card, booted into CWM, flashed CM7.zip and here I am. Up and running, but no GAPPS.

My CWM text is green, which definitely means I'm on the older version, correct?

EDIT: I'm reading I should be able to update my version of CWM from the Rom Manager but there's definitely no option that I'm seeing.

"No alternate recovery availaible"

Also when I go into "all clockwork mod recoveries" only 2.5 versions are listed.

I thought the OP meant that Rom updates are having trouble through Rom manager, but did he mean CWM Recovery updates have issues ATM as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Yeah - whatever you did, you didn't do what the instructions said . . . I can't even tell what you flashed. If you came from stock, you need to flash the INITIAL, and keep the name the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] squish_123:
I did make sure I used the latest INITIAL rom from your site. It looks like my problem has been all along that I've been using an outdated CWM.

I got the version of CWM I'm running from the market, I followed instructions here pretty much to a T. (upon reading, I guess I didn't... but they aren't exactly clear)

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

I started with stock 2.1 (made sure it was stock, flashed with ODIN using the all in one tool on the forums), and then rooted the phone using the update.zip included in the all in one tool.

I never saw anything in those instructions about updating to CWM 3+. So I didn't. I installed from the market like it said, and proceeded to flashing the rom.

I copied update-cm-7-INITIAL-Vibrant-signed.zip to SD, and flashed using CWM. The rom boots fine, but I cannot install any GAPPS.

From what I'm understanding I should not have been able to do this, as I only have CWM 2.5.1.2 installed.

Honestly I think I'll be fine if I can just figure out how the hell to get the proper version of CWM going.

EDIT: I was confused at this part:

Actually running a Froyo Bootloader and ClockworkMod-Recovery?

- Full Froyo with Bootloaders and CWM for Odin: Captivate | GalaxyS | GalaxyS_B | Vibrant - (Flash as PDA with PIT 512 and Re-Partition checked, do a factory reset if it's not booting)

I skipped flashing that file because the one linked said it was for the I9000, is this an essential step?
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
I think we had less installation confusion when using odin to flash the kernel tar was the only option.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
No, you didn't follow the instructions to a T. The OP has stated numerous times over the last couple of hours, not to use the files from ROM manager, and yet you are still trying to use them.

The instructions you are using have been updated for all sgs variants, but do not apply to the vibrant. You need to use "the hard way" instructions. Which means you need to download the files from sourceforge, not rom manager.

The hard way:

Download following files from sourceforge: Captivate | Galaxy S | GalaxyS_B | Vibrant

- update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

Copy following files to root of your internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard):

- update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip

Reboot into "ClockworkMod" Recovery using 3-button-combo and flash "update-cm-7-INITIAL-DEVICE-signed.zip"

- Don't use "reboot recovery" command or other shiny things to do this!

Your phone will perform a efs backup, flash the cm7 kernel, reboot, and automatically go on with installing the update.

Wait until your Phone has booted fully up. There's a lot to do, be patient. Welcome to CyanogenMod 7.

OPTIONAL: Copy Gapps (Google Apps like Market) to your internal sdcard and flash it from within ClockworkMod-Recovery.

* DEVICE = your device name. example: Captivate, GalaxyS, GalaxyS_B, Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Thanks, $4.99 though.
[Vibrant Android Development] squish_123:
Thank you for the reply. THIS HELPS. Sorry about all the confusion, I've only ever really worked with my HD2 before so I think I'm jumping to conclusions as to what exactly needs to be done.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
You are over complicating yourself.

1. Flash stock rom. 2.1 (to cleanup the mess)

2. Root with one click root

3. Transfer cm7 to sdcard

4. Use neldar kernel flasher from market and flash stock froyo kernel with voodoo recovery, uncheck auto reboot

5. Pull the battery and use 3 button combo and reboot into red voodoo recovery

6. Flash initial cm7 kernel once done repeat step 5 and then flash latest cm7 initial.

7. Enjoy.
[Vibrant Android Development] killermaze:
He's not the only one having the problem with Gapps. So im I. Getting the exact same results.

I downloaded the right version through ROM manager and flashed nothing. Downloaded from the website reboot into recovery mode flashed- and got nothing. What i mean by nothing is that the whole process goes through but when the phone reboots there's no GAPPS anywhere. I even manually tried installing the gtalk.apk and others and still no luck.

I personally think it's something with this rom. Installation process CM7:

1. I downloaded and odin one of the files GalaxyS 2.2 froyo (GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.TAR) from the website.

2. After bootup successfully root phone installed clockwork v4.2.

3. download latest cm7 file(update-cm-7-INITIAL-Vibrant-signed.zip) flash successful.

4. everything i stated above number 1.

If there's something i did wrong please point me in the right direction because i've been trying to fix this thing all day.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
you flashed the 2.2 of I9000?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
No worries man. Sorry if I came off as douche to you.

I have a HD2, as well. So PM me if you need any more help. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Yeah, and he doesn't need to be concerned with what version of ROM manager to install either. The initial file will give him the correct version.
[Vibrant Android Development] killermaze:
Yes. that is correct.
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
If i want to update, i just have to flash the last NIGHTLY? I have CM7 05112011...
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
yes if you are currently running cm7 you only need the update
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
Get the Amazon app store, free app every day and that particular app was free yesterday, not $4.99, just saying...
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I dont know what happened, but the wifi turns off randomly like the earlier cm7 builds. This time its doing it way more than last time.
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
Yesterday doesn't change today's price. =P
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
It started happening after 5/15 update. I think that was also why the battery was draining more because of the constant wifi disconnects.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
man much respect for the dev's working on this rom. but people wait until they find a easier way to flash this rom.. i read nonthing but complaints about how to flash this thing. i been flashing roms for android since day one. but it way too much u have to do and have to keep up just to enjoy your phone with this rom (so i hear). i'll wait until it's a less stressful way. now don't get me wrong i can follow direction and put this rom on my phone without a problem. but i know it's going to be a easier way coming soon!!!! just wait

samsung vibrant 2.3.3
[Vibrant Android Development] hulaokan:
what about GPS is working
[Vibrant Android Development] Master&Slave™:
Dude are u kidding?

Step 1: Have Voodoo Enabled

Step 2: Flash The Kernel

Step 3: Flash the correct update

Step 4: Reboot

Step 5: Enjoy

If thats to hard for u then u honestly shouldnt even have rooted our vibrant, yet alone even browse XDA.

Im just sayin IMO...
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Thx, checked it now, it's $4.99 now :(
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Actually it's even easier than that, the kernel automatically reboots into recovery and flashes the rom now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] aeok18109:
This is my first time flashing Cyanogenmod on the Samsung vibrant. From a fresh Odin to stock JFD I rooted, flashed clockwork recovery, flashed the newest initial. Done.

After I let it sit for 10 min I went back into recovery with the 3 finger salute and flashed google apps. There is nothing to it people.

And since I'm in the thread I'll pop my two cents in. DAMN. This **** is snappy lol. 2.3.4 is pretty nice for sure. Small things here and there I would like to change like a black market and an overclock/voodoo but otherwise this thing is BEAST. been running trigger and bionix for so long I didn't bother keeping up with this. Thank you to Wes, team hacksung and everybody else who ever beat there head against a keyboard trying to get CM running on the vibrant. Oh and **** GPS. I don't even go anywhere but work lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
My wifi connection disconnects randomly =/ Especially when the signal is low

Didn't have any problems on 5/11 nightly.
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
+1
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Coming from 2.1 is fine. Just make sure you flashed with update-INITIAL in the /sdcard root, and didn't rename it. If you were able to bring up CM7 you're fine. You may need to just try a different gapps zip - people have posted links up around here somewhere. Do not try to download from ROMManager - that version doesn't work. Yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Wifi: We had gone to a later version of the wifi driver that is supposed to help things . . . but had broken the JPN channels, so this just fixes that. I think one update in the middle is where we have reverted to an older version that drained battery more, but are back now. I think the version is the same as the 20110509 version now.
[Vibrant Android Development] thetman0:
working good so far. I couldnt get the 20110307 dated "universal" gapps to install. Finally found one dated 20110503 or something that had the new Gtalk and everything is working great. going for a gps test later but I never really use it so it isnt required.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
need help for cm7 flash

So I flashed this ROM and having the following problems:

1- I can't receive calls, it keeps blocking whoever calls me and directs them to my voice email but leaves the incoming call in the log

2- The screen doesn't lock. When I press the power button it goes dark but then when I press it again same screen come not the unlock screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
I thought you have to flash from froyo . JFD is elcair .
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
As the person stated, all you have to do is flash a CWM Recovery kernel and then you can flash to your heart's content. You don't have to have a full 2.2 rom installed to flash it.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
Can't connect to wifi, it gets stuck at "Obtaining IP". I have tried two different WAPs, tried rebooting.....a few times, tried going to airplane mode, tried turning wifi on and off. same thing. any suggestions? I did a quick search, couldnt find anything.

Edit: ....And now its working.......
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
I already flashed this rom twice with jfd. As long as you have the CWM you're good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] aeok18109:
So far so good. This thing is quick and speedy. A few nuances here and there. Is there a voodoo kernel out there? Tried platypus and some other one floating around. I'm happy being oced to 1.2ghz I'd just like some ext 4 love. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
there is no need for voodoo lagfix. we are already using yaffs2 and ext4.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sic87:
Flashed this and my phone wont connect to my network. No service at all. I also dont seem to have a market. I must have did something wrong here.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
You need to flash GAPPS to get market and such.

"OPTIONAL: Copy Gapps (Google Apps like Market) to your internal sdcard and flash it from within ClockworkMod-Recovery."

Link: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

Download 20110307 Universal
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
if you are not getting service you either flashed a CM7 that didn't have Vibrant in the filename or you havent blinked your screen (turn screen off and on yet)
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
I always install a 2.2 ROM (like Trigger) before I flash this, but your saying that I don't have to do that. How can I flash a 2.2 Voodoo kernel on Eclair though?
[Vibrant Android Development] CM Wave:
From the instructions:

Wow, the process has really been simplified. So I can do this straight from Bionix (since it already has ClockworkMod and it's Froyo-based)? All CyanogenMod needs is better video playback and i'll be ready to jump :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Sic87:
Fixed but I still don't have a market, also no gmail.
[Vibrant Android Development] stosin:
I installed CM7 just now and Im not seeing the market icon anywhere, I cant log in to my google account....am I missing something here?

please help
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
Root your phone, install CWM Recovery and flash a voodoo kernel. Then go about your merry way. =)
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
Just download and flash Gapps:

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

download : gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] zyrinx:
You missed the part about reading the initial post like you were supposed to. As stated there, you need to flash the gapps file. You and apparently 50% of the other posters here. =P
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Holy flipping cow, guys. :|

Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA for Android app.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
You don't have to flash any 2.2 kernel. Just flash the CWM.
[Vibrant Android Development] stosin:
Im wondering why this wasnt already included in the ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Legally the apps are Google's and not freely redistributable. We don't host the links to the apps either. That you install them is up to you.
[Vibrant Android Development] vgz01:
Per CM Wiki: "Google Apps contain the proprietary Google applications that come pre-installed with most android devices. Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CyanogenMod and must be installed separately."
[Vibrant Android Development] stosin:
*sigh* lawyers
[Vibrant Android Development] aeok18109:
is there a ext 4 voodoo type thing for CM7?
[Vibrant Android Development] shalomhr:
So guys anybody know why when shutting the cell off and back on everything is reset to stock???? Haven't read anything about it
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Yes. The steps are:

1. Flash back to Froyo.

2. Install Voodoo kernel.

3. Reboot.

4. There is no fourth step.

PS. Read the FAQ much?
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Will you be reverting back to the wifi drivers so it wont keep on disconnecting, or is there a fix for it?
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
I love your sense of humor.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
ROMManager updates and initials should be available and working now. The changes are just to support ROMManager correctly.
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
10 hours usage and its on 50% the whole day at school and watching a little Netflix and listening to music, will report the batterylife once it gets to zero, but its getting better and better :D
[Vibrant Android Development] 12paq:
This is sweet. ..and how you made the install so easy, nice work with CWM and coming from all prior rom and CWM versions.. really nice work.

..except for the Noob floodgate you've opened. lol:D
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Is the 20110516 version in Tom manager new or any different than 20110515 on here, or is it different I ask this because I don't see the 20110516 on sourceforge

Yeah I know its a noob question but just making sure
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Please, read the other posts. Please.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Changelog:

I have been able to get around twenty hours of life out of the latest nightly. Sure for 8 or 9 I was asleep but the rest of the time I really use this baby. Hooray battery!
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
Do I update or download rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
So now we have to ways nice :)

Hard way

Odin to 2.1

Get cwm from rom manger

Flash inital

Let it boot

Reboot to recovery

Flash gaps and update

Easy way

Flash thru rom manager :)
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
If you are on the 5/15 nightly then dont download. If you are on a previous build then download and flash the new update.
[Vibrant Android Development] malevolent000:
Does anyone have wifi calling working on this rom? I've tried the wifi for CM7 for N1 but no go. This has been asked before in this thread but not answered.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
Wait so now we only have to flash CM7 through Rom manager instead of doing all that stuff? I've never flashed CM7 before, so u wouldn't know.
[Vibrant Android Development] xtone:
hey guys! been away for a while.. is gps working on this yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I only have one question im on miui would i have to just

Wipe/factory rest

Flash 5/16

Or

Wipe/factory rest

Flash intial

Flash gapps

Flash update
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
Yes, I have followed the steps. I have been using CM7 since the 03/22 update.

I have always flashed the nightlys when they are out, This is the first time the update isn't successful. I have been always using Bilboa1's kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Ask on kang's thread, we only know the stock CM7 kernel and don't know what other kernels do or do not do. Make sure that kernel has been updated.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Please do not report issues if you are using another kernel than the CM7 stock kernel.

We specifically ask for this in big bold red type in the OP.

It just wastes our time to have to look for bugs on our side and then to find out it is not our software that is showing the problems. I just spent the last 15 minutes making sure everything was correct on our side, time I could have spent doing something useful. If you have problems, go to the developer who is creating your kernel for support/reporting issues.
