[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Be aware: it's half ass-GPS. Not fully working.

It was in CM7 for a short while, but Atin reverted the changes because it isn't working 100%. It can cause battery drain. CM7 (and this ROM) will not get fully working GPS until Vibrant 2.3 source (or possibly just the ROM) drops.
[Vibrant Android Development] willowbeehive:
I have the same issue, so you're not alone. Any ideas good people? Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Vibrant does not have a flash or a second camera, both of those options would be useless.

If you have an FFC, I believe Atin has answered the question on how to solve this in the Vibrant CM Q&A thread.

Hey birg I sent you a pm.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
I see the compass is oriented correctly in this, unlike other GB builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Added a custom kernel in the OP that will disable GPS for those worried about battery life.

It will be the default starting with build 13 and those who want GPS will have to flash a GPS-enabled kernel (I will provide one).
[Vibrant Android Development] mk262:
The GPS seems a little goofy, but usable. :)

I've noticed my streaming audio apps are now taking a huge amount of time to stream, even over wifi. Curiously, one of them has a built in alternative audio engine that when I enabled, didn't do that.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Not at all, pandora is actually a bit more snappy for me than in Froyo builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Sent you a couple pms birg.
[Vibrant Android Development] razormy:
Flashed this kernel and Wifi errors.

No wifi now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Noticed that too. Let me look into it.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Tnanks birgertime for awesome work, now is there a OC kernel with GPS available for this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Most likely, no. And any of the custom CM7 kernels out there won't have working gps. As to when/if birgirtime will do an oc kernel, maybe when he gets the time and feels like doing so.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
I'll try, but I know almost nothing with kernels =)
[Vibrant Android Development] laylovj:
Will cmenard be doing anything with kernels?
[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
I assume that since this has gps a lot of ppl will start using trigger, so here is an apk of adw launcher from cm that has the animations http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4645277/ADWLauncher.apk to install I put in system/app then installed via root explorer.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks, do you know if there is working wifi calling app for this GB rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
No, there isn't. Not for vibrant CM7 base (or any vibrant CM7 derivatives).
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
looks like you cant use the theme manager for this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Does this version have anything better than ADW.Launcher EX?
[Vibrant Android Development] gtoman7777777:
I am loving this ROM, but the only complaint I have is with the battery life. I am using the Glitch Kernel with this and it is awesome, however the number one cause of my battery drain is listed as 'gpsd'. Is there any way to disable GPS functionality without flashing Kernel #3 listed jn the OP?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Rename /systen/vendor/bin/gpsd to something else and reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
Tried this and it says failed. Read only and cant be written
[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
other then the fact that it is integrated into settings no
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
use rootexplorer,.
[Vibrant Android Development] mrtoast:
I love this ROM, its soooo fast! But..... I cant see my external sd. I came from Trigger 3.2 and flashed like a champ. No extSD. Then after that didnt work, I odined to stock and reflashed: no extSD. I odined back to stock again and flashed a froyo bootloader from here http: //bit.ly/nquVEi to no avail. I followed the OPs to a "T", what am I missingf? :(
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
If its like the other cm7 external sd is the emmc folder in your root directory. Use root explorer.

Google Apps

Hi,

Is there any reason the attached Google Apps zip file is from june and not the latest one ?

The google talk in this zip package doesn't seem to support voice/video calls.

Effy.
[Vibrant Android Development] mk262:
I think it only affects apps that are based off the stock android music player. I don't think pandora is.

Excellent work as always. Only thing bothering me is the phone don't sleep so battery life sucks. Does the same on nightlies.
[Vibrant Android Development] gbakabg:
My phone slept nice last night :)
[Vibrant Android Development] djjeesh:
Usually on all roms i've flashed, display has been the main cause of battery drain -- but on this it is Android System. Think it's gps related?

Will calibrate battery again but seemed to last 6hrs.. hmm. Not really doing anything.. just idling. Also charges really quickly compared to previous roms. Went from zero to 100% in about an hour and a half.
[Vibrant Android Development] tigernight:
it has been 1day and 1h since the last charge and yet there is 62% in battery .

haven`t turned GPS off .
[Vibrant Android Development] raykovitz:
Flashed last night and it seems that all my contacts have disappeared..I have tried to restore the w/ titanium.. No luck, google did not restore them either. Any ideas how I can get them back..

I was able to retrieve the ones stored on the sim card but not the one on the phone..yet
[Vibrant Android Development] ew:
So now (at the risk of being very stupid) why is a G2x thread in the Vibrant section?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
It isn't? This ROM is for Vibrants... lol
[Vibrant Android Development] gamefreakgcb:
Huh? I'm using it with no problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
Im wasnt able to switch themes either. Scratch that, i could switch themes, but the original theme was still active.

Ive been using since yesterday. Took off charger at 7am. Nearly 12 hours later and im at 45% battery with email/text use all day.
[Vibrant Android Development] ew:
My question was really a follow up to am earlier question and was wondering why trigger 2.x was in the vibrant section, but perhaps I should have posed my question in that thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
GPS lock success. but took a long time. maybe it don't use AGPS to speed lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] rchau89:
anybody still having issues with losing imei or baseband?

my vibrant just does not want to run cm7 :(

Feedback on battery and mute / unmute

Sent By My CM7 Monster
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
The ROM was working fine until now suddenly I am getting no signal after I manually restarted it. Also I get com.android.phone force closed. I tried rebooting, taking off battery still same. I came from ODIN stock to froyo stock to this rom with no Titanium or other restore.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Have you used the 2g/3g toggle? If so, that's your problem and unfortunately I don't know any way to fix other than reflash/reset to factory defaults in cwm.
[Vibrant Android Development] david_rowe:
not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but every time I try and install a kernel it disables my internet and my phone signal. Any ideas how I can fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
try flashing a different modem

its good but not like a froyo rom but its still decent and i havent had any problem with mute/unmute

if u lose baseband its probably something with the modem try flashing a different modem if it doesnt work re flash the rom that should solve ur problem or maybe u r not solving a kernel that works with cm7 which kernel did u try installing
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Ive had this problem with a few 2.3.* ROMS and Ive reflashed several modems with no success. First make sure you still have your efs data. Check the /efs folder and make sure its not empty. If its empty I hope you made a backup!

This may seem odd but it worked for me every time. Here is what I did -

Shut phone down.

Pull battery

pull SIM card

replace battery and boot phone.

See if the phone has signal / imei

For me it always did - so I shut down again and replaced SIM card. After boot all was well in Vibrant land.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30000:
Can't find it. Does anyone know where it is? Or can I just get a copy of a different camera.apk with the 6 options on it?
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks again for the help , yes I did try 2g toggle, now went to toxic rom
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Did you remove the kernel from the OP?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Yes. I broke wifi with it somehow. I'm coming up with a more elegant solution.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30000:
Minor tweak allowing for FFC support

I owe this fix to the good people who worked on the various Q&A and FAQs for Vibrant CM7. The issue regarding the fact that the ROM at it's current state (build 12) does not support the FFC lies in the /system/lib/libcamera.so file. Since the Vibrant does not have a FFC normally, it will present only the 4 options on the camera app that should pertain to your phone, and consequently even if you do have a FFC, neither the camera nor any mirror or video calling app will work.

The fix? Using Root explorer (or something similar), replace the current /system/lib/libcamera.so file with the one provided here, change the permissions on the libcamera.so file so they match all the other .so files in the same folder, and reboot. Problem solved.

It will allow the camera to have 5 of the 6 options (the only one missing will be for flash). Video calls and all mirror apps should now work. However, when you use the FFC in the main camera app for some reason, it will make you look fat when rotated horizontally and will make you look skinny when rotated vertically. This only happens in the main camera app, however.

This fix does not harm any other functions of the phone, it just enables FFC support should someone happen to have an FFC on your Vibrant.

P.S. This is NOT a CwM flashable .zip. You have to extract the file on your computer and then manually replace the file. I'm just throwing my two cents in here so that people wont have to dig thru Q&A sections. Also, it fixes this bug mentioned in the OP. However, if anyone wouldn't mind giving me a crash course in how to make this a flashable .zip for everyone, do not hesitate to PM me. I would be happy to help.

EDIT: After some toying around with the FFC, I found that in video calls, it does have the old "image is rotated 90 degrees" bug :(:confused:. However, while YOU will see yourself rotated 90 degrees, the PERSON YOU ARE CALLING will see you normally. The image in the main camera app, however, is mirrored.

I tried changing every "SGH-T959" and "vibrantmtd" in the build.prop to "GT-I9000" but that didn't work. Turns out this time, the bug is back with a vengeance. Either way, while it is mildly annoying, it causes no practical malfunction.

EDIT #2: Additionally, be aware that if you use this tweak and you do NOT have an FFC, the camera will still work under normal circumstances, but if you switch to the "Front" function, the camera will freak out and force close every time you try to open it.

To fix this problem should you encounter it

, simply go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Camera and click "clear data."

EDIT #3: This tweak will also work with any version of CM7 for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
thanks for this file it will help alot of people and now they wont have to disregard this rom because of ffc :D
[Vibrant Android Development] mrtoast:
Thanks for that. I've been poking around trying to find a zip or some code to input to make CM default to emmc for extSD... any idea? I appreciate your help :)
[Vibrant Android Development] 30000:
Thanks man! I really appreciate the comment :)
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Thank you SO MUCH for the ffc lib! I honestly always flashed the i9k version of miui/cm7 just for the ffc.
[Vibrant Android Development] david_rowe:
I installed platypus, and cm7 nightly kernal. Both took both my signal and my internet completely
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
So.... is the mute/unmute fix also kernel level? If we don't care about GPS, are we able to use other CM7 kernels and not lose the mute fix? Or are we waiting for a Trigger Redux kernel specifically not to lose that fix also?
[Vibrant Android Development] zul8er:
I'm on Bi-winning 3. If I wanted to flash this without odening back to stock, could I do so with voodoo disabled? I read someone flashed this over Trigger.
[Vibrant Android Development] brianhaskell:
Yeah just flash it like you'd flash a froyo rom. I know it's weird because all other gingerbread roms require a lot more steps but it works great. Boots really fast too!
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
MY mute/unmute fix is in Phone.apk. The correct solution WOULD BE in the kernel :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ipetloudog:
I just thought of a novel idea.

Every Dev STOP making gingerbread roms. Just stop.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stroid01:
been running this rom on my mothers phone for a few days been great up until yesterday...started experiencing huge battery drain. Granted i dont have teh phone she does it was at a full charge around 8pm last night, didnt use it at all and was at 7% by 8am. I flashed the rom last Friday so any updated kernels or addons have not been put on this phone.

Reading through the thread it seems GPS may be the culprit, going to put battery monitor widget on it later today and see if I can figure out where this is coming from.

Any thoughts? Thanks

EDIT: I am running build 11 not 12
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
NO, every dev needs to ONLY WORK ON GINGERBREAD and GB Kernels. Froyo is completely dead and can't be improved any further. Time to move on already.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipetloudog:
So I say to myself "self. U love birgertimes work, but hate every rom that is 2.3 but the comments on trigger redux make it seem that u wont get FC on everything, give it a shot" wrong. So wrong. Inb4 I don't know what I'm doing. Its just not stable, none are until we never get source. Don't get me wrong Birg. Its snappy but framework fc's are happening again, just like every Ginger rom out there
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
User error ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah must be, I have 2 phones and neither are having any FC what so ever.....
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
No using 2g/3g toggle widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
Will this be rebuilt with the latest cm7 changes? If not would it be possible to package just the GPS fix in an update.zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
I'm sure Birg is way a head of you on this idea. In fact I expect build 13 any day now, lol....

EDIT: The GPS fix is already included, so no need for him to rebuild this for gps
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
This ROM already has the GPS fix implemented that the newest nightlies will have.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipetloudog:
Can I flash this over itself?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Yes

[Vibrant Android Development] crazy25000:

[Vibrant Android Development] gamefreakgcb:
Its not his fault. At fault is his device most likely. I had a G2X for a while and it was unable to run any 2.3 Rom. No matter what I did I could not get a stable experience. The only thing that would work was a Froyo ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Thats why we need to be working on GB maybe? Since Froyo already works...
[Vibrant Android Development] djjeesh:
couldn't get more than 6 hours of batter out of this.. Don't know if it's just sucky for CM7 in general but had to switch to another gingerbread rom.. Now getting 13 hours and only down to 50%.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamefreakgcb:
My battery is dying crazy fast now. What can I do? Flash a non-GPS kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
that seems to be the consensus
[Vibrant Android Development] gamefreakgcb:
Any recommendations on a kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] david_rowe:
Just tried installing the kb5 modem, along with 2 different kernals. Both of which removed my baseband and signal. I reflashed the rom to try and fix the problem. When I try to mess with the call settings it tells me "sim error". Anyone have a clue what I can do
[Vibrant Android Development] razormy:
KB5 modem installs with no issues. I Also tried a different kernel with problems. Ended up leaving the kernel and just doing kb5 for better battery and all is good. Long battle life and fast.

Edit: gotta use the cm7 kb5 modem

Cause even if I get crappy battery life(can live with it) I cannot live with such slow download speeds and no wi-fi. Thanks. Have not tested the GPS yet haven't made it that far.

EDIT: Wi-fi working now just had to go about it a different way. Don't know why. Thanks Roman and all the devs like you for making these roms. I know it takes a lot of time to make them, so thanks for taking the time out of your day to do it.

I stripped off adw, which I tend to use on all roms, haven't touched TB yet cuz I'm scared to death of it with anything over froyo, and I gotta say aside of not getting triggers normal battery life, our phones should be shipped running like this. No mute unmute problems. GPS says in 2 houses down in navigation. Browser is able to play gifs/flash/no checkerboarding. Haven't had a single framework/res FC (thank u again birg) and it seems like my desktop icons are almost 3d now, kinda cool. Only good exp with Ginger so far. Nice work guys.

[Vibrant Android Development] oldfield16:
Probably a dumb question:

Currently running simply honey 2.3.4, safe to flash over the top after a factory reset, clearing cache and fixing permissions, or better of doing a clean odin to stock? Either way, very curious to try CM7 with gps.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
First time flashing CM 7 to your Vibrant (or coming from another ROM)?

Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
[Vibrant Android Development] oldfield16:
yes yes im not that new to this, though since im not supposed to ask about flashing an eclair bootloader im going to assume flashing to stock and rooting will give me what i need soooo.. away i go
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah you need a Froyo bootloader because the GB Bootloaders break your external sdcard and makes it to where you can't access it. So, if you want access to your external sdcard than use the Froyo bootloader. Flashing ROM's does not change bootloaders, so you need to make sure you have the proper bootloader you want and then flash it in Odin. After that, flash your JFD stock or flash any 2.1 or 2.2 ROM in the vibrant section, it dont matter as long as your NOT on Gingerbread. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Nvm lol
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
lol, I will still answer that question that people can no longer see. Yes Froyo Bootloader if you want access to your external sdcard. GB Bootloader is Ok if you don't care about access to your ext sdcard...
