So far #19 has been a champ! I didn't install CM7 since the 5-11 nightly so it has been almost a month of improvements. Loving the voodoo-like color (I personally hated the yellow tone it had before) and with voodoo sound v9 on board, what more can I ask since I no longer have to leave stock kernel? Well, battery I suppose but we're getting there from what I kept reading all those weeks since I left to NextGen2. So far paint me satisfied :D!
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Flashed #8 to #18: suffer from constant sleep of death. If screen is off for more than 30+ seconds, can not be woken up... requires reboot. Using stock kernel and modem.

Not a complaint, just an observation... and one I have not seen in this thread yet (so anomalous behavior is probably isolated to my phone, not Nightly #18).

Gonna try #19
[Vibrant Android Development] crazy25000:
I'm using 19 right now and it's pretty smooth without a glitch so far :p...I recommend this update, I've had to skip a few updates because of too many headaches :p

Definitely recommended this though!
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
Yup number 19 is running great so far. The only issue I couldn't enable another keyboard from the language and keyboard settings unless I was looking at the wrong spot to change those settings. But anyways all I did was to ininstall stock keyboard with titanium backup an install swift key.
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmynguyen91:
Try installing Voodoo control and upping the volume there.
[Vibrant Android Development] d33dvb:
Is GPS working yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
of course it is man!	Just as good as it did right out of the box!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I want to just simply say NO, but there is a min of characters required.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
try using neo6 kernel it works great :D if that doesnt work i would just suggest wipe and flash again or if thats not work just ODIN back to stock and flash from there, ive never seen this problem before so im thinking it was a bad flash
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
you can click the link on the changelog (http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd) and it explains the change. #19 appears to fix something related to the radio relaying the time for a different phone. ie, it doesn't affect us vibrant users.

hope that helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
I LOLed.

[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
It's funny because it's true...
[Vibrant Android Development] gatorbob:
Sorry if OT, but can someone please explain the difference between using CWR 2.x vs 3.x, and what we should be using for CM7?

I am having a problem with Rom Manager Premium, and not able to automatically install the new nightlies directly. After I download the nightlie in Rom Manager, and select options to backup, wipe cache etc, the phone reboots, and looks like it is going to go into CWR, but ends up just rebooting normally.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
You did remember to move the file from the download folder to the root of your SD right? Also be sure to choose 3.X for recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wizeblood:
I don't even know what to think about this...
[Vibrant Android Development] gatorbob:
No, I did not realize the files had to be moved once downloaded inside of Rom Manager Premium. What is the best app to do so with? I thought that ROM Manager Premium handled the entire process.
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
ROM manager will handle the entire process but update ROM manager to say your recovery is Vibrant (MTD) with ClockworkMod 3.x (it will give you a warning about it not being supported, ignore it and say ok) and then reboot your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] mattb6288:
battery life sucks. i left my phone unplugged for about 5 hours and i didn't use it at all and my battery went down about 50%.
[Vibrant Android Development] ugokind:
begging

but also no.

any hope to inject older source code of aries gps chip into GB kernel?

t959 is fantastic.. but w/o gps very incomplete!

thanks for the hard work

I read the changelog.. you are technicians.. not only addicted of smartphones
[Vibrant Android Development] heyarnold007:
I got a replacement vibrant, and my GPS works a hell of a lot better than it ever did before. The better question is: "Does GPS work at all with CyanogenMod 7??"
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
Seriously?
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Sucks. I left my phone unplugged for about 10 hours, and was still at 92% from a full charge.
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
There is a FAQ linked from the first page, the better question is: did you read the FAQ?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
man the nerve of some people, u need to try re flashing and calibrating your battery because battery life is pretty great u shoudnt run out of half your battery in 5 hours standby you should have atleast 90% or so

i think there might as well be GPS NOT WORKING on the title lol
[Vibrant Android Development] gatorbob:
What modem are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
should take couple days for battery to actually calibrate.. I noticed that the first few days my battery was pretty crappy... Lasted 10 hours.. but after a while it jump to 16+ hours.
[Vibrant Android Development] Joy2DaWurld:
That seems highly unlikely, even for a brick phone from years ago. You're claiming to get 125 hours, standby time I assume. What's your "secret"?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
how is that unlikely? have u ever used a 2.2 rom? or cm7? you would know that battery life is great and on standby it can barley use any power, ive been able to go 5 hours on standby and lose 5%
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
1: I don't lie.

2: It's very likely, unless you've been using your phone while your sleeping If so, what's your "secret"?
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Did this in both build 17, and 19. The max volume did not increase when using voodoo sound; the problem persists. I have also tried factory reset, wipe davik cache, and data partition, still doesn't help. It sounds like the music is farther away, like something is covering the headphone with cloth (hypothetically, a cloth covered headphone would not fit in my ear.)
[Vibrant Android Development] tsquire99:
People would still ask!
[Vibrant Android Development] Joy2DaWurld:
Why else would I be posting here if I wasn't on CM7? As great as this rom and many of the Froyo roms are, I entirely disagree with you when you say "battery life is great," and even more when you say that "on standby it can barely use any power." Even with background data, 3G, 2G, WiFi, auto-brightness OFF and on standby, I easily lose 5-8% an hour. With light usage, meaning frequent texting, 10-15% an HOUR. That's not what I'd describe as great batter life. I'm not complaining, but I'm simply disagreeing with a prior claim.

Sorry I didn't mean to come off so arrogant initially, but as I stated right above, my phone kills battery whether it's doing anything or not. And as I said I'm not whining or *****ing about the battery life, because the rom altogether is a piece of art. I just disagree with the possibility it could last that long.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
well i meant when im on standby without sending message or using phone, maybe since i dont have 3g in my area 2g uses alot less battery power
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
Any good advice on setting up the best settings for voodoo control? Like sound color etc....
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
I'm having issues playing back videos it keeps on breaking
[Vibrant Android Development] iwillkillyou:
The more volume you add, the better the sound. But the max volume with voodoo sound can really hurt your ears. I use the max volume on occasion. I'm used to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Hmm no big deal I suppose, I'll just easily charge my phone fully, go to sleep, wake up and post my outcome, only if it's been 10 hours or more. Don't get me wrong, I'm not boasting that the phone can last a whole year because it can't, but battery life isn't as horrible as your stating.
[Vibrant Android Development] bush2088:
well I'm jumping into the cm7 deep end of the pool, wish me luck.:eek::D
[Vibrant Android Development] iwillkillyou:
You won't need if
[Vibrant Android Development] ZeroIsntTheHero:
I hope you can navigate your way out of the pool without gps. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] alexhee:
Guys, it seems Samsung Vibrant is using ST Ericsson GNS7560 Single Chip GPS Solution (The same chipset in Samsung Vibrant 4G). Which is mean WHY our GPS is not working compared with Samsung Galaxy S & Samsung Captivate (BCM4751 Chipset).

Not sure whether other phone with Gingerbread is using the same chipset as Vibrant then we may have changes to port the GPS libraries to Vibrant to get in work in gingerbread. I'm still looking on it...

This is just my findings. Please don't bash me if everyone knows it... :p
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Cashy, you still irritate me some...and I haven't even been around in a while. :p

Gonna update to 19. Thanks everyone who actually provides useful information. Obviously, this is not one of those posts. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
He kinda grows on you after a while ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
is anyone else on build 18 having the messages randomly erasing problem? its happened to me quite alot today D:
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
He and I go way back. He's not a bad fella, just have to give him a hard time.

I got swype working again, :). I would like it if my dialer would look up my contacts as I type on the number pad to spell names, but other than that, I'm sure happy. Yeah for netflix on the vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
You have no clue how much I lust for that dialer function. It's almost illegal...

Oh, and WiFi Calling for the Vibrant... I have it for my G2, but the wife gets no signal here and the jealousy is palpable... ;D
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
anyone install update 19 and have theme chooser missing? I've tried installing it twice and it's still missing =\

edit, odin to stock, reflashed and now theme chooser is there.. strange but working now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] locoarmo:
You can use Go dialer for t9 dialing
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
Hmmm, I'll have to play around with this one... Thanks for the heads up!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yes, thank you. I will check that out as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
If you like it enough, I recommend the Go dial wallet theme, it's very nice!
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
According to atinm, the Vibrant uses a different GPS chip than all the other SGS variants.
[Vibrant Android Development] phantomzer0:
For real to you guys with bad battery problems, try reinstalling fresh from a wipe and do not use any backups from titanium or from google. Recalibrate your battery properly and you will easily get 20 hours plus per charge on medium usage with wifi, data, and max brightness.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
I agree i get 9hrs with heavy usage an playing games maybe ur battery is damage or something but battery life is great for me
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, it took me a minute to figure out it was called GO Contacts and not GO dialer. Either way, I am digging it. I actually found that I liked the dark theme the best as it matches the rest of my theme nicely, but the wallet theme is cool too. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a way to get the battery to show a percentage in CM7?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
Theres an option in the cynogen mod settings to show percentage
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I seriously can't believe I missed that. I cannot believe all the things I have either figure out today or have been shown how to do with my phone. It's almost as if I got a whole new phone again. This absolutely makes my night.:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
Lol! +1 some people can't read, seriously asking about gps..lol
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Indeed, I now ignore those as they ignore reading and/or following instructions. Back on topic, I've been having pretty great battery (for a nightly of course) using Titanium Backup. More than 20 hours of battery. I can't imagine doing all the app work all over again without TB o_o.
[Vibrant Android Development] decline55:
It varies for everyone. I have been using cm7 for a month, but no matter what I did (and I attempted dozens of things), I could not achieve better than 5 hours, even with no usage and nothing but stock apps running. I switched back to froyo and i'm getting 20+ hours with medium use. cm7 is still an unstable, inconsistant rom. Cm/gb roms will continue to be buggy on the vibrant until all the hardware drivers are accessible. So if you have issues that cant be fixed with little effort, its probably best to go back to froyo until the official gb files can be used.

Also, thanks op for your work. As a junior programmer, I envy your skill. Might I make a suggestion; any chance you can put in the thread title "GPS NOT WORKING IF YOU CAN READ THIS"?

It just seems this thread is full of gps working questions and snarky replies.
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
Im unable to mount sd card on nightly 20 how can i fix this
[Vibrant Android Development] n7csi:
Moonfire711 how did you get swype working? Please let me know
[Vibrant Android Development] vazovskiiii:
hi i have vibrant and i would like to install cm7 latest rom so i've downloaded latest 20 mod and when i'm trying to install it its error status 7 installation aborted did i've missed something?
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
also need mute/unmute.

flash the #19 clearly.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_phekt:
Same here... can't nandroid back now either. Damn.
[Vibrant Android Development] holla2peter:
Ooh, that dialer function is definitely a very nice to have feature.

And maybe if us vibrant guys are good this year, gps would be the best early Christmas present!
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
Im sorry then ur battery must be bad!!! im a very heavy user on my phone and ive been running cm7 since nightlie 4. My brightness is at more then half and my 2 email are on auto push and i have a few sites with auto notifcation plus feeds from facebook. Plus i run audio galaxy for like 6hours or longer during my work shift and i never run out of my battery. Now this is a stock samsung battery not a extended battery. Are u sure u are deleting ur battery stats? im just saying if ur not a heavy user and its only lasting like 5 hours on cm7 then ur doing something wrong, not to be rude!!!

Most people on here should know better to read the faq and the details before downloading so stupid questions like is the gps is working shouldnt have to be in the title! Im sorry im just tired of people asking about the gps!
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Are you using performance governors by any chance? That could be the reason for you bad battery life... Upload a screenshot of CPU Spy and battery use page...
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
Iget fantastic usage out of my phone and use the hell out of it
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
Glad you found it. I missed some options too so its all good
[Vibrant Android Development] aeok18109:
been awhile since i rolled CM7. fresh odin to stock ,root, and fire away on nightly #20
[Vibrant Android Development] decline55:
Trust me, I tried 3 different batteries, 2 of which were new, one being a new sammy. Tried a few performance govs, underclock/volting with pmcpu, wiped battery stats several different times and ways, odin back and forth a few times, removed cpu hogs. I tried a few other things as well, including most suggestions I read. I got alright results from miui or whatever its called but still bad. never had battery issues before cm7 and since I have been back on froyo the problem is solved. With heavy browsing and words with friends yesterday, I got 12 hours before I threw it back on the charger. Like I said, cm7 is built without full access to gb drivers and vibrant files, so most will have different experiences. Im not too concerned about it, I prefer to have gps and swype. I would rather give up the perks of cm7, in order to have a functioning phone. My speeds were pretty crappy as well, but beyond flashing different modems, I didnt tinker with anything.

I just wanted to get that comment out there for the people that might be wasting a lot of time trying to fix something they might now be able to.

Regarding the gps thing, I agree people should read the facts, but a lot dont. It just creates too much clutter and is pointless to read through four hundred "is the gps working?" comments before finding something helpful/worth reading.

Last thing, I have a launch vibrant (release day), I wonder is this might have been the source to my problems. Anyone else with a launch have similar problems?
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
Rockin 20 and so far so great. No probs also using neo 6
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
I have a release day Vibrant, my battery on CM7 lasts about 10 hours from the moment I take it off the charger until its down to the red X battery. My GPS on my vibrant has never been good, rarely getting a lock even on stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] kimbo1986:
Somehow my cwr got messed up, it wont mount SD card anymore. When I boot up everything is fine. Boot recovery and no sdcard mount. I flashed build 20 and this happened. I assume I need to really install clockwork. Any advice?
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
which nightly is the best one? first time flashing cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] lunatikv:
Yes, I was experincing the same problem as you. If I would get 5 hours on one charge cycle I would be lucky. I got my phone on release day as well. My theory was/is that in my area, my phone goes crazy searching for 3G and H service. Each time I look at my phone it is going back in forth more often then not, and that is probably killing my battery. I might be wrong, but I have monitored the apps that run and nothing is sucking up battery power as much. It either is the phone or the battery that is bad.

I also am back on 2.2 for the meantime. I like to flash CM7 to enjoy the extra features, but cant keep missing phone calls from work either lol so I go back and forth. And on 2.2 I think I get like 8 hours or less, just flashed back and calibrated the battery lets see how it does.
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
just as Kelmerp said if u dont have the patience to odin back to stock then maybe cm7 isnt for u. U dont have to odin back to stock to do cm7 but its better that way so u can get rid of any rom ghosts u have from the past before u flash cm7. THE EASIEST way to do cm7 is to get Rom manager premium and flash the new clock work recovery press vibrantmtd and 3x not 2x! then download roms. Then go into premium download section and choose cm7 nightlies choose #20 as thats the newest one. On ur first cm7 nightlie choose all 3 options, wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom. When u do ur second cm7 nightlie u wont have to wipe data again. Enjoy and good luck!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
Thank you sir for that!!! i didn't have time to keep odin at the moment for a reason.. but thank you very much for answering my question in a grown up, real man matter....
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeku:
i'm currently on #18 very stable fast but lack of gps !!! as all GB Roms for Vibrant ... but it will get your location by data networks ...

I will try #20 later on ..
[Vibrant Android Development] ZeroIsntTheHero:
So, it was a mistake that you didn't notice while you typed out that entire thing? Did you look the other direction and type?

As stated previously, if you don't have the patience to do what needs to be done, then go back to your stock phone and then you don't have to worry about any mounting issues. It sounds like Froyo with TouchWiz could be your best bet.

The installation process for CM7 is incredibly easy if you read the steps. There is literally nothing complicated about it whatsoever. So, go back to the OP and read the instructions. If they seem too difficult for you, Odin back to stock and just stay there.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Am I the only one who doesn't believe in ROM ghosts?

Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA for Android app.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
Ok so ive been running CM7 for some time now but now i am getting the "waiting to mount sd card" after flashing 20 and for some reason i keep loosing gapps everytime i flash so im going to odin to stock n reflash hoping this is an isolated incident. If it is not and yall have found a workaround please let me know.

I have already tried pushing files from the gapps folder to the respective directories and no luck thus far. i have also tried mounting /emmc (sdcard i believe) prior to attempting to flash anything.

just to be clear i am on nightly 20 everything runs perfectly, but i need to have my gapps working :) so any help would be appreciated. otherwise ill just odin and reflash in a lil bit

-Cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] kimbo1986:
It looks like its an issue with recovery on the kernel in build 20 sdcard wont mount in recovery for me so, can't I replace recovery somehow? Last resort is Odin stock (I will be away from computer all day)
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Battery

I am also having problem with battery, it eats my battery. I went to the Battery use in Settings, about phone. And I noticed that 38% was used by an app called "Flight view" or something, I uninstalled it, I was not using it either... now hopefully it gets better. We'll see.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
Is the gapps a separate download or is it only through clockwork premium?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
i suggest build 18 it seems to be quite stable
[Vibrant Android Development] shaiu22:
call bugs

I had problems with calls on early builds (other side can't hear me so well - mute/unmute solution). Is this fixed in the newer builds 18-20?
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
thanks bro
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
i havent run 19 or 20 but its still present in 18 but it doesnt happen that often usually i dont unmute/mute during a call
[Vibrant Android Development] OPTheory:
Can anyone confirm that voice actions are working? Particularly texting? Try bringing up the voice action box, and say 'send text to John... blah blah blah'. Ever since build 5 it's been force closing as soon as I press send. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeku:
#20 didn't work for me.

Installed #20 and it won't install gapp ... so it screw the sd card it won't mount on recovery so there is no way to install gapp. so now goin to odin back to stock and flash #18
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
good idea, ive been holding back from flashing to 20 lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ker0zene:
I can confirm they're working.. just upgraded from build #8 to build #18.. I had to reflash gapps for some reason.. voice actions work fine for me. maybe try clearing cache?
[Vibrant Android Development] droidfan77:
I'm having the same problems as everyone else. Build 20 made it so that CWM can't see my internal sd card. I'm going to Odin back to stock. Avoid Build 20.
