the last time i put cm on the vibrant the battery was dead by lunch time, i read it had something to do with not being able to put the phone into a deep sleep, can anyone tell me if this is still a issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] GreenDroidX:
So how do we access these features? Do we use voodoo or do we use setcpu or something? Anyway man thank u

Choppy Camera on 720p Recording

I suffer from the same issue as well.

I've noticed this thread:

Perhaps it could help us ?

Any chance another camera app will help ?

I'm willing to test it if anyone has suggestions :)

UPDATE:

I've tried setting governor as "performance" - video seems to be much better.

I'll give it another tries on different environments and keep you updated (in case anyone even reads this post...)
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
are you on airplane mode all day?!!?
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
how do you get swype, and how would you downgrade using CWM
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
The easiest way to get swipe is to register for the swipe beta and get an official copy.

To downgrade using CWM choose the option to install Rom from SD card or reboot to recovery. When you need to pick the Rom go clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get/

Once in the get folder it has all the previous versions of CM7 nightlies you have downloaded (sadly I have nightlies back till 24 in there)

Hope it helps you out
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
I meant downgrade back to a 2.2 / 2.2.1 rom

I was on nightly 76 for a fews days and everything was working really well. Then one day my phone wouldn't go below 800mhz and it says that suspend and events/0 are using my cpu way more than they used to. I've tried using odin to get back to stock and then installing nightly 83, but it didn't solve the problem. Is there something else I can do to keep my phone's cpu from burning out?

Nope you need to summing the almighty ODIN

I'm curious but if I see a ROM in CWM I should be able to just flash it over right?

For example I'm in CM7 could I flash biffmod with no issues... same with trying miui
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
yes just wipe first
[Vibrant Android Development] droidfan77:
I've tried that and my phone then stays at 400mhz and doesn't go in to deep sleep at all. My phone never had this problem on any of the version prior to 76 and 76 was even working fine for a few days. Now I can't seem to get rid of the problem. Is there a way I can get the "suspend" process under control?
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Seems like a rouge process or app. Use systempanel to see what the culprit is.
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
I should rephrase my question.

Is it possible to downgrade to 2.2/2.2.1 using CWM?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
yes ive done it before u have to modify the updater script in order to
[Vibrant Android Development] droidfan77:
Using system panel, the only thing that looks wrong is "suspend" has used 4.6% of my CPU in the last 2 hours. Is there a way I can get "suspend" to calm down?

Can u tell me how to do this battery on CM7 is not good enough cuz my battery is damaged so battery drains extremely fast plz I need this lol :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
BROKEN USB aka can't Odin
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
I'm not sure where you are getting this "suspend" from, because I can't find it on my systempanel or battery use. What nightly are you on? And I would highly suggest odining back to stock and reinstalling the newest nightly, #83, which by a long shot has given me the best battery life so far. I have had a few kinks in my flashes, and the only way I fixed it was odining back to stock, erasing the original nightly, and redownloading and installing the newest nightly. Also, try flashing KB1 modem, for some reason the stock CM modem would slaughter by battery, KB1 what works best for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
You are out of luck it seems. At any point you can soft brick your phone and will be left with no choice except to use Odin. I would highly suggest getting insurance on your phone at this point, wait about two weeks, then intentionally brick your phone. Tell them it froze and get a new one, hopefully you are also under manufacturer warranty.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Well in kind of grounded an mom not paying bill so can't get replacement until about next week an I got school soon an battery can't last me school day an wouldn't changing updater script allow u to flash 2.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
yes it would have u done it before?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
No but I assume that it involves root explorer or win zip an I have flashed from cm7 to 2.2 but that was I think before Cm was official
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
i couldn't help you on that one, I have never used one. Too bad Boot Manager doesn't support Vibrant YET, it would be awesome to be able to switch between different ROM's at will. Although CM is still my top choice.
[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
I have had wicked problems since Thursday. I was out of town and had no access to a computer with internet (and I'm throttled and had the problems I'm about to describe). So...

Starting out I was on the 79 nightly with Bali 1.1.1 kernel. Everything started force closing on me, and I mean everything. I turned down the oc from 1.4 to 1.2 to 1.0 and that didn't help. So I wiped all caches and reflashed (with Bali), same problem (and for all flashing I restore apps + data with Titanium, but no system data is restored through it and all the apps together are like 500Mb, so the data partition is only about 1/4 full). I wiped all caches and wiped data and reflashed (still with Bali), and still the same problem.

Eventually I looked at my storage and my internal SD card was full (evidently Google Music's caching of music to make it offline took over 9Gb of space on it), so I cleared all the Google Music data and freed up space on the internal SD. This was a temporary reprieve, but the fcs came back within an hour.

At this point, I flashed 79 again, but without Bali thinking the kernel may be the problem, but it persisted. I had my laptop with Odin and JFD on it (and, after many tries resulting in fcs, tethered my throttled vibrant to get the root update.zip, it was pathetic and painful) so I Odin'd back to stock and flashed 79 and the 20110307 gapps and kept the stock kernel. I also stopped using setCPU at this point thinking that may cause a problem, even though I've used setCPU forever with no problem (I was getting desperate at this point). This didn't really help much at all, then I saw my external SD was full, so I formatted it (I don't use it and most of what was on it was still avatar...).

Things were fine for a little bit (i.e. an hour or so), but now I am still getting fcs, but they appear to be relegated to gapps. The browser pretty much fcs nonstop (and Dolphin, Opera, and Firefox won't even open), the Market fcs nonstop, I get a message that Google Framework fc'd, and titanium fcs on boot most of the time.

So I have Odin'd to JFD and flashed 79 and that didn't fix it. I'm reticent to think that it's my apps because I haven't really downloaded anything new in the last couple weeks before this started. And I can't use any browsers or the market and Titanium sometimes fcs on boot.

So I'm finally home, have had a couple beers and am about to flash 83. I know this has been a riveting tale and cool story, bro/chap, but if anyone has other insights into fixing this, I would greatly appreciate it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
Yes. No solution here except I had to use my wife's phone running stock.

I didn't look at the time and have updated since, but it would be good to check if the IMEI number is missing when this issue is encountered.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
that is really weird, i noticed u didnt say anything about fixing permissions did u try that? :p
[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
yeah, i tried fixing permissions about 5-6 times interspersed through all the attempts at fixes. the strange thing is that i can't do it through rom manager, so i had to boot into recovery and do it through there.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
thats weird, have u tried any other rom yet? other than stock or cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] cashless:
When this happens, take a look at your signal bars. They'll be white, indicating that you're not connected to Google services, causing all the FC's. Is it the apps? Yes. You've got to figure out which ones cause you to get bumped off of Google Services. I can tell you for sure that Facebook Messenger does this immediately after it crashes %100 of the time.

Is your /cache full?

Try deleting all the .apks in /cache.

Is /datadata full?

Sounds like exactly what happens to me when /datadata becomes full.

It's really a pain in the ass to have only 172mb for /datadata... Particularly when /data is almost untouched and has 1.5 GB free.

[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
not yet. no other rom really interests me at this point. i've tried the other 2.3s and they just didn't do it for me.

how do i check that, or do i just have to format it? i honestly have no idea what datadata does. i've seen it and wondered, but never looked into it.

i do take note of that. and because i'm throttled i thought it would have an adverse affect, but they have been green when the market and browser and stuff crash. i don't use facebook messenger, but i have facebook installed so i may remove it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
Well I have flashed over my cm7 with biffmods rom. Was easy enough ... then I flashed miui.us over Biff mod just to check it out. Unfortunately not quite as interesting as cm7 so I may be going back to it ... gonna give miui.us a try for a day and see how it feels... even though i despise what miui does with stealing source or close sourcing there project or what ever the hell it is they do... but I will say that the theme or launcher or whatever it is they have is great ... menus and everything feel and look right that's about it.

Now you can OC with stock!!! Very nice. Set at 1300 now.

can anyone link me to the most stable cyanogenmod version thats out there for the vibrant?

Sweetness, the new kernel has arrived. Can anyone tell me what the bunch of upstream stuff is?

"update prebuild kernel with a bunch off upstream stuff"

Its build # 84. Most stable n fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
The most recent. There have been so many changes since the last RC that I wouldn't bother with it.

I'm hoping to see all the codecs back. I wish to play videos of any format using the native video player. Can the mods say a word on this request?

[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Thanks, I have seen that. So it's basically the low power mode and the OC/UV stuff.

ALSO, I have noticed that my battery is draining pretty quickly with build #84. The only thing I have done is UV -50 on every freq up to 1000. NO OC. it seems every ten minutes to drop a percentage. Going to let it go some more.
[Vibrant Android Development] T.C.P:
Not gonna happen bro, it depends to much on touch wiz and this is aosp. Best thing to do is find a alternative player in the market

[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
It depends on TouchWiz? That's strange. How can codecs depends on launchers? Anyways, I find "arcMedia" Player the best. It plays everything I throw at it. :)

[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
I found a bug in the build # 84. If I turn off the Wi-Fi and turn it on again, it will connect to the Wi-Fi network, but wont allow data connectivity until I restart the phone. Tried a good few times and it just wouldn't work before I restart the phone. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
I believe he was referencing the stock TW video player. Also with TouchWiz The whole Damn thing is an orgy fiasco. A lot of stuff ties into the TW Framework so if that's missing then it won't function properly or may not function at all. One of the reasons why CM7 on the vibrant is not as functional as most other CM7 roms.

I have tried a lot of players and the 2 that I seem to like the most are moboplayer and mplayer, both can handle a lot of filetypes plus mplayer can handle subtitle files.

I found a minor bug in #84 -- it freezes on boot and won't be recognized by ODIN, so now I can't even flash back to stock.

Minor, guys, minor XD

Seriously though, this is moderately irritating. Not quite sure how to fix things this time. If I can't ODIN...umm...bacon?
[Vibrant Android Development] imitebewrong:
Boot up, flash an older nightly via Rom manager. Then Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
Which is the most stable revision with best battery life?because it seems the latest one has some issues. And do the newer revisions have gps fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
The build # 79 is very stable with good batter life. GPS fix? My GPS works fine with the latest build.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the Software GPS Fix for Vibrant.

Could someone please pull /system/vendor/bin/gpsd and post it for me? My fix uses gpsd from Build#54, but if the latest nightlies have good GPS I'd rather use an updated gpsd. Maybe that combined with all the other tweaks I do will give perfect GPS every time.
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
I'm on Build 84, and I cannot replicate your issue. Have you tried formatting cache and dalvik cache?

They're not on my internal anymore, sadly. Otherwise I would've just reverted back to #83 and probably been done with the whole thing.

[Vibrant Android Development] ncalvin:
ODIN still isn't bothering to recognize the phone...I've tried different USB ports, updating the Samsung drivers (unsuccessfully), installing Kies (in progress)...this is really crappy :/

Edit: Never mind, the Kies drivers did it...so far. I'm staying away from #84 tho -- bad ju-ju.
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
so #79 is the best?

How many hours do you get?

Also, are there any MAJOR bugs with 79?

And why do people revert to CM #69 if there is an error?
[Vibrant Android Development] jjohns63:
First, you can check the usage by doing

adb shell df -h

and looking for the /datadata partition and look at the percentage used, if it's over 90%, you're in pretty bad shape (mine was 96%). In the terminal emulator on the phone, you can just do

df -h

and look for the same.

/datadata is where the app databases and cache and preferences are stored by default (maybe app designers can choose somewhere else?) I ran into this, and searched Google for a long time looking for an easy way to see which apps are using the most space.

Eventually, I used adb to pull the entire folder and used a third-party app in windows to list directories by size. I found that Groupon was using >30MB for its cache and there were a few others that had huge cache's. I went into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and cleared the cache for those apps which were the worst offenders.

After that, all the force closes went away.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
TouchWiz, Sense, Motoblur, etc are not "launchers". The appearance of the launcher is only part of it. They're all custom frameworks. It's why you can't just "turn TouchWiz off".
[Vibrant Android Development] droidfan77:
I have had battery issues with my Vibrant since the day I bought it back in July 2010. I could never go through a whole day without needing to recharge my phone. Then when I moved over to CM7, I loved how my phone worked, but my battery got worse and I was only ableto get about 10 hours with moderate usage. I finally gave in and bought the Seidio Innocell 3000mAh extened life battery for my phone and I have to say I am very happy with my purchase. I can easily go all day and not have to think about recharging my phone. I had a day of very heavy usage (lots of Angry Birds, live wallpaper and web streamed flash videos) and I was at about 20% left after a total of 18 hours of usage. Until the OEMs start included better batteries it's better to find a reliable extended battery and enjoy our phones the way they were intended.
[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
awesome. thanks for the info. my /datadata is 99% full (1.4Mb free). lol.

is there a good fix for this? i removed some apps and moved dungeon defenders to the sd card (which freed up a ton), but is there a way to resize datadata or create a symlink to a folder on the sd?

Is there a way to get back to clockworkmod 3.x.x?
[Vibrant Android Development] FReQ Z:
My headunit in my truck isn't picking up my phone's phonebook via BT. I've had no issues with any other ROM.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
Thanks for your post (you beat me to it!); it's very thorough.

I wanted to direct you to a sweet app called DiskUsage which can visually show the space used/available on your phone. However, when the /datadata partition is nearly full, DiskUsage won't run either. At that point, I typically fire up Root Explorer and pop into the /datadata partition to verify that it's full.

Frankly I consider it a defect. However, I'm just a [l]user like the rest of you, not a ROM chef/dev...

There is absolutely no reason I can conceive of (though I'd glad to know the reason if there is one) to limit the app storage size to 172mb when there is over 1.5gb available for APKs.

Why they are separate is a mystery to me.

Why is it so hard to flash cm7? i have flashed almost everything else and yet cant find the right way of doing it without rom manager premium.Iis this correct.....stock bootloader,download nightly and flash through recovery? thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
I always format system, data, and cache in mounts and storage in recovery. I have never had a problem flashing CM7 doing it that way.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Yes. It isn't hard at all. Keep in mind, that the reason there is a premium app for rom manager is to make your flashing life easier. And believe me it does and it's worth it. You need the clockwork recovery "vibrantmtd 3.x.x.x" from rom manager.
