Now available on rommanager and the Biffmod home page http://ibmirror.us/biffmod

Biffmod for vibrant is here. I think you'll enjoy it.

The goal here was to create a stock 2.3.5 feel for the vibrant , preserve the customization options of Cyanogenmod, and add the features I felt were missing.

Your warranty on your phone has long been voided. If it explodes.... NOT IT!

Features:

*Mix of AOSP/cm7 - 2.3.5

*black launcher2

*black camera

*notification widgets

*overclock capable kernel (1.7ghz)

*voodoo color and sound

*BLN/LED Notifications (on by default, the BLN app is not compatible)

*Ricktips

*glitch kernel HL thanks TK-Glitch

This should be good for daily driver.

GPS WORKS!

Credit goes to : koush, cyanogenmod team, TK-Glitch, jonathangrigg, samsung, google, your mother (if i missed someone, PM me and I'll fix it. Don't want anyone feeling like I kingklickxd them)

Thanks to the patient community for putting up with mah "devvin" ;)

I don't care for donations, if you like my "work" feel free to press the thanks button down there

DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.3 here

Steps to install

1. Download rom and put on the root of your sdcard

2. Select ROM in Rom manager

3. Select wipe data, cache, dalvik

4. PROFFIT!!!!!

IF YOU ARE GETTING A SCRIPT ASSERT ERROR I'VE WRITTEN A SHORT EXPLANATION OF WHY THIS HAPPENS.

it happens when your build.prop says you have an i9000 instead of a vibrant. some roms change that for ffc support and other reasons, hence why odining back to stock "fixes" it. other option is to use a correct build.prop and make make your ro.product.model=SGH-T959

No need to odin back to stock before flashing this and GB bootloaders aren't required

if the glitch kernel freaks out on you... you may need a different leakage version. Source code and updates for glitch kernel, can be found in the following thread ------->http://bit.ly/pNkURn

[Vibrant Android Development] Rod_2007:
Nice!! i"ll give it a try....:D
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitybiff:
let me know what you think :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Does this have external SD card support for gb bootloader
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitybiff:
Yes, it doesn't require gb bootloader as its cm7 based, but external sd works regardless.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Biff! Last time I saw you was when you made the universal overclock kernel for G1!

Will try.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Great rom battery life seems to be great so far thanks for sharing
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
great work i love seeing roms based of cm7, there is nothing better than a cm7/miui base ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitybiff:
lol. that was a long time ago. enjoy :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rickballs:
i was running biffmod on my o.g g1 before it got stolen(jerks)....glad you are here
[Vibrant Android Development] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
You did some awsome work with the g1 back in the day, trying this now
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitybiff:
Hows this running for everyone? Up for feedback and feature requests if you got em
[Vibrant Android Development] Rod_2007:
Dude, awesome ROM!!! Super fast and smooth...keep up the good work man!!! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Rod_2007:
There were some issues with the market like you mentioned but now its working just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] rickballs:
Smooth as butter, just fix permissions with rom manager
[Vibrant Android Development] rickballs:
How about the original biffmod boot animation
[Vibrant Android Development] folkland:
Looks good - I wanna give it a try but i have 2 questions..

1. any tricks to the install if I 'am already running CM7?

2. does the dialer have the alphanumeric dialing TWZ had but was lost in CM7?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Running smooth and fast at 1.2GHz. No issues so far! Thanks again for this awesome ROM!!
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Just ran Quadrant and got 3009 Oc 'ed at 1.4, NICE!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] TheBrandonWRX:
2nd this. Odin to stock. Flash went perfectly and simply horrible battery life. Amazing rom other wise but had to move away from this. I can't get a day out of the battery on this rom. After switching to another rom all works as expected.
[Vibrant Android Development] kanwal236:
Is there any way to add the auto rotation option back into the notification bar? =\
[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
Yes. It's in the cyanogenmod settings from menu -> settings -> cyanogenmod settings -> interface -> notification power widget -> (change widgets/reorganize)

You can choose which things you want in the notification bar, or for example take out gps from the bar (since turning off gps = you're screwed until reboot anyway).

edit: my battery life is unbelievable with this rom even with exchange activesync going. I get 8+ hours and charge to full from 20% in little less than 50 minutes on stock settings. I also got a crash before I formatted, so I'm assuming it's my fault. Titanium Backup seemed to crash and then amazon appstore and then basically everything would cause the framework to crash. anyone is welcome to take a guess.

[Vibrant Android Development] dpaul007:
Did you guys restore them with TB? I know I had an issue like that with a few apps that I restored. I just uninstalled, and installed them again from the Market, and all is well now. It sounds like I'm the only one that's not having an issue with this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] gibletzor:
The only issue I'm having is with battery life. No FCs on anything for me. Buttery smooth and fast! I've managed to get my battery life up to about 10 hours useable, but still nowhere near the 20+ I could get with Bi-Winning or Simply Honey.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
I get alot of framework crashes and only fcs sometimes
[Vibrant Android Development] dublued:
Since this is a CM7 base, I'm assuming wifi calling does not work. Can someone confirm this please?
[Vibrant Android Development] steveyoo97:
I would also like stock camera on this ROM.

I'm having a very positive experience with this ROM.

My battery life is approximately 20 hours without any modification.

No FC's (so far), and GPS works!

This is awesome!
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:
I'm trying to install this ROM but I keep getting stuck at the Glitch screen.

Tried flashing all the different Glitch v11 Kernels without any luck..

Any ideas? I'm coming from Simply Honey 5.0

Didn't odin to stock.

The install script is only getting to the "checking state of bml/mtd" and finishes.

I noticed there are 2 file on my sdcard:

cyanogenmod_bml.log -> umount: can't forcibly umount /dev/block/stl3: Invalid argument

cyanogenmod_mtd.log -> umount: can't forcibly umount /dev/block/mtdblock5: Invalid argument

UPDATE: I Odin'd to Stock and flash Gingerbread Bootloaders and still same problem..
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
I also came from Simply Honey 5.0, which i hated, so i Odin'd to stock, TWICE... dont know why i did, i believe the first time didnt go so well. then i wiped everything, then flashed 1.3. Everything was fine after that, without the GB Bootloaders, which this ROM doesnt need,
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
I managed to get rid of BLN by flashing the latest glitch kernel,which seems to work better as it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:
Did you reinstall the froyo bootloaders? I tried 4 time already.

Odin's to stock.

Rooting (using OneClickRoot)

Installing Rom Manager and CWM

Installing using Rom Manager (and using CWM)

The phone keep stuck on the glitch kernel screen on boot... I'm really frustrated

I will try to Odin twice even though I had no issues while Odining
[Vibrant Android Development] agrover5279:
Anyone else having issues where the GPS work perfect for the first few days than just stops working? Does not see any sats in view.
[Vibrant Android Development] Troy1:
I to am having problems with seeing my external SD card. It doesn't even show up in dual file manager. I flashed from trigger 3.2, so no gb bootloaders. How will I get my music player to see my music?
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:
UPDATE: It was me. I modified the framework.jar file (like with every other rom) and from some reason it didn't like it.

I restored the original framework.jar file and it solved my issue! Sorry about that.

Incredible

Wowie, everything, I mean everything actually works!!! GPS!!! A pbxes.org account that gets around WiFi Calling not working on 2.3.5. Awesome! Thanks Biff. You hold a special place in my Android world, as yours was the very last ROM on my very first Android (trusty, dusty G1). This is the only GB attempt I have made where I have had no issues, no FC's, nothing at all to fight with. Major props, thanks again!!!

One question: the KA7 modem is giving ridiculously great speeds. Why is that the default as opposed to like KB5? Is it somehow optimized for this ROM? I would normally go ahead and flash KB5 as a matter of course, but I have not even done so on the "it ain't broke" theory.
[Vibrant Android Development] luvmonki:
No data

Could someone help me, please? I can't get data to work on my phone after flashing this rom. Wifi works but when I turn off wifi, then it says no internet connection. I tried to flash another rom, the phone shows that it was finished but it loads back as the Biffmod rom. Tried my hand at Odin, but the pc says driver not found. Any advice would be great appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
I think the Kb5 modem is the best for battery life, at least from my experience, but not as fast. It also has a lot to do with your area, some modems work better for others. I am getting similar speeds with both, but i may experiment with the 2 for battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
BLN

Just in case anyone didnt see it, i installed the latest Glitch kernel and BLN turned off, which is what i wanted... i am guessing that would fix it for anyone else, i also like the better performance.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132929

I also followed the UV specs on the thread and battery life improved.
[Vibrant Android Development] PhilUSAF21:
Which one do i flash low medium or high leakage?
[Vibrant Android Development] rsdunn:
Do you have a Github link we can use to build up your changes?

2 small questions

I feel like a kid in a candy store, now having the first GB ROM where everything actually works! Woo hoo! The questions: is there a setting whereby the lockscreen can be completely disabled? I have checked "menu unlock" and "disable unlock slider" which is better than swiping the rotary lock, but I would like to be able to completely disable all lockscreens. Second, I am used to getting a brief sound notification when I plug in to a charger, is there a setting to make that happen again? I tried checking "always play on speaker/alarms" but that apparently is not what does it? TIA...
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
I'm curious, too what folks find effective for modem images with this.

I'm also wondering how this ROM fixes so many bugs I have with CM7: my phone apk fails (FCs at first load) after a couple of days of use, Xiia Live gves me a "not purchased" error (I use it with tasker for a clock radio/streaming on a schedule), and mmy GPS conks when I overclock on boot. Biffmod doesn't. OK, I'm not so much wondering, but it seems to me it might be useful info to the CM team.

What I am wondering is if there are plans to use any of the newer CM nightlies in Biffmod. I really like the new camera additions, and there are a bunch of other goodies, too.
[Vibrant Android Development] jalenthejiv:
flash over miui

can i flash this over miui lite and if so what are the procedures i should take
[Vibrant Android Development] dkanevsky:
I have the same problem, I hardly can play even DVD Rips' not mentioning matroska format. There's no decent video player that can fast forward videos or sometimes a video just stucks and the phone rebootes.

Can you please add the stock samsung codecs to the ROM in the next release?!!:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] hystrix0:
Heh, and here I am rejoicing that it doesn't beep when I plug it in late at night tip wake up my wife.
[Vibrant Android Development] Troy1:
I have the thread but still couldn't find the solution. Maybe I wasn't clear enough being a noob. I know my stuff us still on my card and I found it under the emmc folder but how do i tell things like my music player or the music download services to place my music there and to scan for media?
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Ive had one thing irk me since flashing cm7... no ability to start/pause/play using headphones button. Really liked that for the gym....
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
You likely flashed with Gingerbread bootloaders. If you've ever flashed a Gingerbread ROM besides CM7, you loaded up the bootloaders that go with it. In general, bootloaders aren't included in a ROM flash (they're not part of the ROM), but upgrading to GB is an exception. It might be helpful to check out the CyanogenMod forums, since this ROM is sourced there. Pretty much anything that applies there applies here.

Always know where your cook got their ingredients. Food or ROMs, it's on you to know (and trust) what your loading up, if only because you get to deal with the aftermath, and getting it fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
KA7 is much easier on my battery than KB5 was with this ROM. It wasn't reliable with Bionix.

Although I am seeing my router still connected to my phone while the phone's screen is off, despite my having set it to the contrary. I'm using Tasker to shut it off.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsdunn:
Tried KA7 and getting much better higher data speeds using this modem over KB5 ... also using Glitch kernel and latest CM sources.
[Vibrant Android Development] ronsaws2002:
Just installed this great Rom on my Vibrant yesterday -went from soft brick to stock to

root and finally to your ROM. I was on a Team Whiskey Rom.

I think everything works-so far-except the GPS. I have the 1.3 revision installed that has the GPS fix but my GPS is completely dead.

Have you any suggestions on how to get the GPS to work?

I tried to find the thanks button could not locate it

We all really appreciate all of the work you are doing.

Update on my GPS problem-It now works with accuracy down to 12 feet within about a minute.

Using the GPS test program I had to clear and update the AGPS settings then reboot. When it rebooted

GPS works...Thanks again for the great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsdunn:
Do you have AngryGPS installed in /system/app ?? Must be there for GPS
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Not necessarily. I was hesitant about taking the time and effort to try another GB ROM since I know they all had GPS issues. However, for whatever reason, this ROM's GPS works almost as good as FroYo's, and I do NOT have Angry GPS installed. I don't even believe it's in with the apps in the ROM? I get 14-15' accuracy which is slightly better than I got with FroYo, however it sometimes takes "a bit" longer to get a lock, but it definitely definitely works. Not very scientific, but I have found that if I toggle between Brut Maps (NOT stock Google Maps) and Chartcross's GPS Test, that seems to speed up the lock. However, as is Android's custom, YMMV...
[Vibrant Android Development] Troy1:
Thank you for your reply. I haven't loaded any other ginger bread rom tho. I came from trigger 3.2. I can see my data in the emmc folder but I can't transfer any music that I download to it and I'm not sure if my music player can see it. I usually move music to my ex SD to save room on internal SD.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
I actually got the phone force close this morning just after flashing this only last night... seems as though its just a matter of time for anything cm based recently...

Anyone know of any other cm builds that don't get constant phone fC or market fc?

I'm really wanting a Ginger build that has lil to no problems... coming off bionic v 1.3.1 which was super stable but has major problems with opening things in the background constantly andeating my ram till the phone just crawled....

I just want to oc a kernel a lil bit. Open up the ram and not have major system failures left and right... anyone help me here with suggested build number, kernel and oc settings with what volting program?
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Launcher Pro FC

I just made a mistake, trying to boot into recovery via Quick Boot, before it dawned on me that there is no "red recovery". The phone shut off, and when I turned it back on, I'm getting an insanely ubiquitous LP FC. Everytime I click FC at the bottom it comes back immediately. I can't even get to the Market app to reinstall LP. Does anyone have a solution other than reinstalling the ROM. Wow, this thing is rabid, it will not stop flashing the message. I must have really pissed it off. I did the battery pull and the fix permissions thing, it keeps coming back up. TIA...
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Yeah, that's a concern. I think mine's used to it now. Actually, this little thing is a non-issue. I have a bigger one now, reflashing...:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Did you ever get an answer???
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Hmmm weirdest problem... Reflashed and did nothing to make sure it was just this rom/kernel combo.....

Plug in the charger and it turns on the phone... Can't charge with phone off, so I can't properly power cycle my phone to reset power stats.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
The phone process/app and the market app will agressively force close like that too with some cm7 builds... I have been lucky this last flash to be going on 6 hours with no fc's maybe I got lucky this go around I will see tomorrow morning.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, I did a search through the thread about the external sd card not mounting, I found one post that said search the thread and the answer is there.. and the only one remotely answering says to use another kernel. I like the current kernel.. is that really the answer? How do I get it working without kernel..

Edit: I tried the [Kernel][CM7/MIUI] Bali-CM 1.2.1 [8/19/2011] which says to run the "Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script", so after that then kernel.. external sd is visible again, though I am not sure if it was the cleaning script or the new kernel. I would have liked to use the original kernel packaged with the rom so I had something to compare battery life, stability, etc.. so if there is a way to have the ext-sd working with the kernel included in rom, please let me know.

Edit2: and yes, I looked at every post with the word external in it.. so I know there was no answer offered other than switching kernel. I would still like an answer tho.

Otherwise so far, so good.. rom seems snappy. Haven't gotten the gps working yet, but if I can.. I will likely be happy.
[Vibrant Android Development] PhilUSAF21:
+1 I'd like to know this too
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Been testing this rom for hours and it works flawlessly :) i was on 2.2 project v for awhile cause of gps. No problems here gps locks and everything is amazing great job dev!
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
My rom works pretty well too, but I have yet to have gps lock on any gingerbread rom.. renaming angrygps, changing settings, nothing I have found has gotten me a lock at all.. did you do anything to get it working?

Edit: well, I followed the instructions in this post(after trying a scripted one that didn't do all of these things), and it still didn't work, not until I changed the permissions on the files it has you copy. It does work now, it is a slow lock at best, and I didn;t test it driving.. but at least it locked.
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Glad you got it to lock, i didn't do anything I just turned on gps and wait for it to lock. It took awhile but then I got a lock and now it's locking on like in froyo :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
As I understand it, the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning script just wipes the cache, dalvik cache, and other little bits that might mess with a new kernel (if someone wants to clarify this, please feel free). I got mine somewhere all by itself (Sorry, I don't remember where, and my history blew up with my OCZ SSD). I pretty much make it a practice to run it before I flash anything. It might be helpful to run this and reflash to get that emmc up. It might not.

First, try this.

Make a backup of your internal and external SDs. Hook up USB and copy/paste to your PC or whatever. Don't keep too many of these copies, though. I'm buried. :eek:

If all else fails, have a Titanium Backup backup ready - it basically makes a copy of your apps partition and the data files that go with them. Odin or Heimdall back to stock and follow the CM7 instructions for installation. Flash CM7 #69 nightly (one nightly before the CM version used in BiffMod). Check to see if your problem is solved, then restore with Titanium backup, and all will be good except your widgets. I do this whenever I have a particularly sticky problem (and can't identify it as an app problem, since an app restore will just reintroduce it).

Reading partitions tends to be a deepish problem, so you really have to go back to letting CM7 do its partitioning thing, on a clean slate if necessary.

Also, you may want to try looking at other folks problems along the same lines to see if there are solutions they've found (although I've had trouble coming up with the best search terms and have had to ask about this kind of thing, too, like I forget to wink and smile at my monitor quite the right way or something).

Sorry to clutter the thread with basics. It just seems like it can't be said enough. There are always noobs, and they will always have questions, and the answers aren't all in the same place, nor are they screamingly easy to find until you know where to start.

My emmc works. Team Whiskey -> CM7 #69 -> BiffMod, no Odin/Heimdall. Although you'll notice in the nightly list that they're planning on making it a choice which to use by default, and they've already included the latest OTA starting in #85.

EDIT: You might want to use the File Explorer, or better yet, Root Explorer to try to move the files if you're not doing that already.
[Vibrant Android Development] shrty4luv:
hello all,i have read through the entire thread and haven't seen what i'm going to ask...could someone explain what the different governors mean....thanks in advance...
[Vibrant Android Development] Troy1:
I want to thank you so much for the great help! All of your info helped me and the use root explorer did the trick. I usually get flamed when I ask a question so I am hesitant. Even tho I search, you are correct, it's not always easy to find what you need. Thank you again!...... Also I want to thank Biff. This room is the best I have used so far. It is fast and everything works great. Thank you for all of your hard work.
