I'm sure this has already been noted/noticed but the latest version of the cm7 vibrant rom is listed as a release client rather than a nightly rom, does that mean this is the 100% working version I've been yearning for for so long? thanks and sorry if this has already been asked or answered.

Im all Late but....Vibrant 7.1.0 RC1 is UP and Posted!
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
so that means, no full gps fix? because the code is locked?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Under normal circumstances I would assume that an RC would mean working gps, but this is samsung. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
This worked Perfect for me.

Was called by a House Phone, an Android Phone, and an IPhone.

Before it was really bad. I just Pretty much just got into the habit of M/Uing, before i even say hello, once the conversation was first engaged.

But Everytime i get a call now, I dont have to bother with the Mute button

THANKS =)

Did vibrant 4G leak help at all? O.o
[Vibrant Android Development] jaysix79:
everytime I flashed a nightly (33 and 35) and I performed a wipe cache partition and dalvik, the phone goes on boot loop. So i would flash it again without doing a wipe the phone boots normal... is this typical?..

Do they still release nightlies after this?

There is also a new thread for the RC cm7. Ill give my feedback Tom. No bootloops btw.

[Vibrant Android Development] jdanisevich:
Haven't seen this mentioned yet, forgive me if it's been covered. I haven't tested this with the RC yet, but I did on the last nightly before it, and the changelog leaves me to believe the problem still exists (if it's not just me). I dunno if anyone else has tried the the Blacklist in Call Settings, but it always seems to leave my phone vibrating endlessly as if I'm receiving a call, but it never shows any notification of the call, and more importantly, it never stops until I reboot. If anyone else has this issue I'll report it on the new nightly page. Also, ever since I Odined after the nightly with the broken recovery, I've been unable to register for update push notifications. I've tried everything, and yes, I have a fresh, legitimate market installed copy of ROM Manager Premium. Anyone else have trouble registering since then? I'd appreciate it if anyone could confirm or deny those issues for me, thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
Im experiencing statics on my screen. ive tried 2 vibrants but its the same. sometimes it shows but sometimes it doesnt.
[Vibrant Android Development] sam-san:
Statics...like flickering or what? It's been reported that some screens flicker from wifi interference. It's an issue with the screen, and it's not supposed to happen.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yes, nightlys will still be released and this is where you'll still be talking about them. There should be a nightly tomorrow, most likely #38.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Never seen anything of the sort.
[Vibrant Android Development] kinzkarazy:
cm7 on vibrant went from nightly to rc downloading it right now thnx u to all the devs
[Vibrant Android Development] playonline53tms:
Wait I'm confused does this mean its over????? If it is THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIME YOU PUT INTO THESE ROMS EVERY NIGHT AND DAY AND IM NOT LEAVING CM7 EVER (CM8?)

Need help with cm7? Pm me I can try to help
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
I might be wrong but I thought there were always nightlies.. even when RCs and actual releases are released. It's like a never ending project for them :P
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
ITS NOT OVER, let me make it simple: The rc1 is considered a Stable rom, and lets just say the nightlies are betas.
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
Yes its flickering randomly. its pretty annoying
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
No, nightlies are alpha, RC1 is beta.
[Vibrant Android Development] sam-san:
Long story short. My vibrant is fine, but the replacement device I received from T-Mobile (for GPS) had the flickering problem. It was definitely due to wifi because the screen flickers right when I press the wifi power control in the notification bar. See if that happens to you. I think the screen also flickers when the phone is receiving data over wifi. Get a replacement if you can. As for me I requested another replacement phone (still for GPS), with the fee waived of course. Hope this helped.
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
thanks Sam but currently im not in US. im the philippines right now so thats not a good option for me. It only happens on CM7. surprisingly it doesnt happen on MIUI whcich we all know it is cm7 also but has a different UI
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
Flashed rc1 through rom manager and had no baseband(unknown) flashed through recovery and all is good. I did full wipe both ways. So far loving it. Nice work
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
I went through recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and then installed the rc.1 and it worked perfectly with no bootloops
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Just flashed nightly #37 through ROM manager, only did a dalvik wipe and installed gapps; everything seems to be good. Checking my apps now. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
I was cm32 then flashed 36 this still happens. When i delete text messages they delete but the names stay in there and 0 messages. The timestamp says Dec 31, 1969 No joke lol
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
Once I flashed the CM7 over my FRYO Rom, it changed my bootloader. Now I can not go to download mode my VOL + - and usb cable. Any one knows what button combination I have to use to go to download mode?
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
CM7 shouldn't change your bootloaders...
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Correct.

We will NEVER get stable as long as we don't have gps.
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
what is the difference on RC1 vs the latest cm36 nightly?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
If you have a gingerbread bootloader, you have to press volume up and power button.
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
I am not an expert of this. But there is a file called boot.img in the CWM flashable zip. So I think it does something with bootloader. And after flashing CM7 I saw a new screen with GalaxyS and Cyanogenmod logo before the boot animation.
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
Yeah, that's the boot image, but no sbl.bin or boot.bin can be found so it shouldn't.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
bump to this as well.

#37 is out.

so..

is RC1 better.. or #37!??!?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
boot.img is the kernel and recovery, it has nothing to do with bootloaders
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
Can anybody running CM7 confirm if you can go to download mode without using a Jig? Thanks for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
...yeahhhh

everyone can go on Download mode without a JIG if you haven't ****ed with bootloaders and messed up your phone by hard bricking it.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
they are the same thing, looking at the changelog difference between rc1 and 37 is 37 includes a change in the naming convention for release builds, ie removal of the word kang in the file name

[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Thanks. I'm flashing #37 right now.
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
Naaaa... I haven't ****ed the bootloader and bricked it. It is still running, only it does not go to download mode. Some thing have changed definitely. Now I can not charge my phone when its off. As soon as I connect my charger it boots up.

I just asked for some help. Please do not be harsh. If you do not like to help just ignore it. Sorry If my question sounds stupid.
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
Just do a quick reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Sorry... if it sounded harsh???

but anyways

The charging while phone is OFF

is a issue since CM7 wasn't even supported for Vibrant and still is till today. Common issue. Charge it while its on.

You can't get into Download mode???

ERRRRRRRRRRRRR

I can't think of how to fix that, I'd say ODIN but you need download mode for ODIN :facepalm:

uhh

Wait till' someone with more knowledge replies.

Edit:

Yeah do what the guy above me said, try a reflash that may fix it, if it doesn't. IDK what to tell you.
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
I have ordered a Jig. Hope that will take me to download mode.

I know you are very helpful. Thanks for your suggestion.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Oh sure we will. And we will never have GPS unless we get a source drop that has the pieces needed in the framework to support GPS, which is unlikely. We will go to "stable" without GPS if we don't get the source needed. Sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
boot.img is the kernel - it is *NOT* the bootloader. We do not change the bootloader. Ever. That image you saw is the bootsplash from the kernel, not the bootloader.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
the jig will.

just make sure you phone is off b4 u plug the jig in.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Just double checked. No problem at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Doesn't this rc1 or #37 have better battery life? That's all I want and it will be stable to me. Don't really care about GPS at the moment. We just need better battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Random Reboots

Is anyone else experiencing random reboots when on a Bluetooth phone call?

I have been having this issue with all the past nightly releases. If there is a fix can someone explain what it is?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
atinm asked me to pull the /proc/last_kmsg after a random reboot (when i posted in the Q&A section). I suggest you do the same as it will help the devs identify the root cause.

If this is the first time this particular issue has happened it may have just been a fluke, otherwise i would try reflashing. i personally have not had issues with bluetooth calls.
[Vibrant Android Development] pelmenept:
Guys, just a curious question, correct me if I am wrong.

On the latest CM7 build (RC1), you have to mute/unmute in order to be able to talk when receiving a call and GPS does not work. But it is still called RC1 ?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Yes. It'll also be called Stable eventually.
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
@Atinm is the source for the samsung vibrant 4 g and the samsung vibrant different ... is it hardware or chipsets that have it FUBAR or the lack of TW framework ?
[Vibrant Android Development] quadratic:
What happened with that GPS change that was later abandoned? coolya had tweeted about it beforehand, but no one said anything after the change was abandoned. Just curious if that attempt (which I'm guessing was based on birgirtime's "fix") proved to be a dead end or if it's still being worked on.
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
I flashed cm7 rc1 from a complete wipe of everything and I appear to NOT have to use mute/unmute anymore. I have tried on several incoming calls and the caller said it made no difference. Just saying in my case its all good
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Dead-end - was useless.
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
Since i flashe cm32 when i delete texts it deleted the text but then the name still showes in the messages but with a blank screen and dec 31, 1969 for the date..... any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
sounds like your messaging db is corrupted try going into settings, applications, all, messaging, clear data
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
My first suggestion is not to spam the board to get an answer

Try a reflash of the Rom
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
Tried that... nothing Ill try to wipe tonight
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
I am getting a lot of battery usage from gpsd (~30%) even though GPS isn't on. Is there any way to fix it other than killall gpsd?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
killall . . . we've been trying to make the damn thing work, but maybe we should give up and disable the thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
I personally don't mind giving up a feature that doesn't work and I would never use anyway for considerably more battery :) you guys have been working diligently on it for months and little progress has been made, so if I were you, I would just fuhgetaboutit until we get a usable GB leak. But, that's just me :)
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I agree with you. Never onced usw gps since I bought this phone, but thats just me. If you want gps go back to froyo or wait for our own gb leak.
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Agree totally for what it's worth..
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Gps is one of the main reasons I bought an android way back when the mytouch 3g was current.

I know it's a ways off but don't give up, you guys will figure it out somehow, you always do.

Btw, is anyone else having issues with headphone jack not working at all? Neither slacker or pandora made a sound.
[Vibrant Android Development] ArcaneMethods:
What's a Jig?
[Vibrant Android Development] carlosmann22:
Its a thing you plug into your micro USB port to put your phone into donwload mode if you can't reach it for some reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
So, that Revolution rom looks kind of interesting for a change of pace. Knowing that I will come back to CM7 in a few days after checking it out, would it be worth it? From what I understand flashing back to cm7 after another gb rom isn't so easy. Have to odin back to stock 2.2 etc., right?
[Vibrant Android Development] nettoxx7:
Is it save to flash rc1 over nightly 17 without wiping.And can I flash nightlies over RC? Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Yeah, you're fine. RCs are just renamed nightlies.
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
Is it with just media or do you not hear anything? I had an issue where I couldn't hear media through the headphones but everything else worked. I uninstalled the voodoo control app and i could hear music. reinstalled voodoo and it worked fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] dxtrlabs:
Hey ive tried it....and i don't like it i flashed it many times many ways....and it was always laggy TV out didn't work GPS only get a few sats and doesn't work well....other then that its fine but feels laggy and slower then this rom even with OC

I say try its not that hard....to go back and forth. Just back up you clockwork back up and titanium to get back like you were later after Odin back to stock and flashing the latest nightly.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Was only trying with media last night, but maybe will try again. Running cm7 all stock and never installed voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
I'm running nightlie #38 and running voodoo and no sound probs .
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
I agree...reverse engineering is a complete pain. The GPS on this phone isn't very reliable to begin with!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
I coming from #35 going to #38. Do I need to wipe or just flash in recovery

Also why are there so many updates? What are the improvements? Not trying to be a asshole. But #35 was a great rom but had very bad battery life. So if we not getting better battery life then what's the point?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
do you not understand what the word "nightly" means and what the phrase "unstable" means?
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
people really need to learn how to read the ops! front page explains all
[Vibrant Android Development] inrelief:
If only there were a log of the changes.

Maybe we could call it a changelog.

Wait a moment, I remember something about the OP.

It has a link to a changelong.

Yes, that's right, a log of the changes in each build.

Such a novel concept, these changelogs.
[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
I think I'll pass then.

On the other hand, fwiw, I am having HUGE idle battery drain problems with RC1. Looking at system panel it appears that in an idle, unplugged state the cpu runs between 20 and 25 percent constantly. And it looks like its just "system" apps etc. will this finally settle down? I could care less about gps as long as this could make it through a day on one charge.

Edit - I hope I'm not sounding ungrateful. Just putting my feedback in on what, imho, is number one on my "wish list."
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:

Same here, restoring back to my 6/22 backup. Been running RC1 since released, but battery drain is killing me.

Very grateful to the devs for their awesome work so far. Keep up the good work.

No it isn't you fail, he asked for kernels........
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
the default CM7 kernel is one built directly from teamhacksung's github. AFAIK, there are only 3 CM7/MIUI compatable kernels right now, Glitch (and the one that links to Glitch's thread in the vibrant dev section), zacharias.maladroit, and Le Kernel Du Jour!.

I know zacharias and glitch are updated to the latest source, but i'm not too sure about le kernel de jour.

Make sure you know what happens when you use a custom kernel, you no longer can reports bugs to the CMSGS team, but rather diagnose bugs in the kernel thread.

Make sure to nandroid before flashing any kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] dxtrlabs:
i like the stock kernel....i mean if it aiight broke........i think the stock kernel is fast....i dont really need OC or UV all the other bells and whistles....are great....but.......stock is best......for me atleast

Going to root my friends vibrant and i want to load cm7 on it.

he just wants the H network and better battery life.

can i achieve both of these with the 7.1 rc???

thank you

other suggestions are appreciated. (kernels etc)
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
for those asking... Atinm has disabled gpsd in the next nightly build. Interested to see impact on battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
If the neo 10 kernel is flashed after the new nightly, will the gpsd be turned back on?
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Seems smart. If the gps isn't working, why mess with the service. It may not help battery life, but it can't hurt I wouldn't think.

Btw, does anyone know if the 2g/3g widget is still broken? A quick search shows it hasn't been mentioned in weeks.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Currently on the latest nightly and everything appears to be smooth; however I just noticed my screen wouldn't wake up and only the bottom LED's would light when I pressed the power button intermittently, the only way to get my phone working again was to pull the battery....anyone else have to do this? I think I've read about this and I think my phone was in 'stand-by'.??:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] skesseks:
I have a question for everyone who says 'i had to pull the battery'. Before pulling the battery, did you try holding down the power button for about 10-15 seconds first?
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
NO...if it happens again I'll try. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
It's still broken:(
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
It crazy how fast and good the cm7 builds are. Its also sad how the battery life is...
[Vibrant Android Development] jeph36:
Mine froze up like this earlier (I should have taken a log, but it was not convenient at the time) and the 10-second power-button trick worked fine for me. I almost never pull the battery for anything as the 10-second power-button seems to be just as good and a lot easier.
[Vibrant Android Development] zadk1el:
Mine only goes to sleep of death if i use other kernels. Everything is normal with if i dont install glitch or neo. Will stay with stock nightlys...

"H" Network and "3g" network on the vibrant isnt really different..

Ya, CM7 does have good battery life, for Gingerbread

I would choose something in the 2.2 - 2.2.1 section, if you are wanting the best battery life

Sometimes you can make CM7 a little more of a battery saver with one of the CM7 Kernels and UV it, but Nightly Change all the time, and in that case, the Kernel needs to be kept up to date
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
No it does not, nor would any Samsung app, because they need Touchwiz and there is no TW in this rom.
