I had this ROM on my device. Then tried to test Juwe's ROM. Hence flashed Custom GB Bootloader. That did not work for me and I had flash back to JFD. Then, I re-rooted and flashed this ROM. No issues in Flashing. GPS is not working now. Tried Bali kernel too.

Any help in getting this resolved is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
I've still not heard any reply on charging with the phone off... Is no one else having this issue with this took rom/kernel combo?
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
No the phone wont charge while its switched off because of the Glitch kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Yea, it only locks maybe 10% of the time with the gps hacks, but then again I couldn't keep the stock kernel because the extsd wouldn't mount, so maybe the gps has something to do with that. I am SOO frustrated about the gps issues, I have stalked every gps related thread, done every thing any suggested, and even tried many new things.. I have officially spent too much time trying to get it to work.

Also, the battery seems awful on any 2.3+ rom I have tried, I am going to try undervolting and underclocking to see if it helps, but I haven't tried much as of yet because I was focused on the gps issues first. If I can't get battery to be reasonable considering I am a light user, nor the gps working properly, I am going to give up on ginger roms.

If anyone has any specific(advanced) advice on getting better battery life, or maybe some less widespread fixes for gps, or advice on making memory management more aggressive I am all ears.

As opposed to non-gb roms, I am seeing battery use(in system panel monitor) mainly by the OS rather than the apps I run.

Currently seeing top-apps: system using 3.3%+ and system processes 1.5%+ consistently, while my user apps use less than .1% of the use.

While any 2.2+ rom those system processes used less than 1% typically, and battery drain was from 3rd party apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] mattb3:
Two things, I've noticed that when android system is showing very high resource usage it is due to partial wake locks location services, which I attribute to a gps driver crash. A reboot fixes that. Also driver crashing may also explain why gps never works for you. Finally one settings change that helps me is changing the supl server to nokia.supl.com port 7275
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
I couldn't get any satellites trying that supl setting, and I found what I wanted to try before for memory management, the supercharger v6 scripts. I noticed the settings for the rom memory management are very old cm7 settings which have been tweaked, at least in more recent nightlies.. changing those settings to anything more aggressive had immediate results battery wise(system processes are running less), as long with regaining snappiness..

It isn't really a fix if it can be changed in rom.. but it helps for now. GPS issue is still bad.
[Vibrant Android Development] mattb3:
What file contains these tweaks? I might diff it with the new nightlies and try it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
First I would recommend reading the relevant part of the scripts as they will show where on the phone is being tweaked and how.

It is a bit difficult to find out the settings compared to just running this script(click), but some background info on how OOM killer works is here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-porting/b3vRC7vKVYQ and I don't have the other documentation by google handy.

I forgot what the scripts were being called until someone in another thread sent me to the same ones I used to use when 2.2 was having memory issues. The way it seems set now(in this and other roms) is apps aren't being killed when they should by the OOm killer, because of the groupings and priority levels they are given. The way it is currently most apps continue running in the background till what they have to pull from is too little..

I am seeing with these latest ginger released that the phones aren't sleeping when not being used, and processer spikes above 30%, and no apps seem to be causing it. It is very weird.

I actually considered using a spare stock battery and charger to have a backup battery to make it a non issue, but without gps fix.. I may switch to a froyo rom.

For people with battery issues: Bali kernel works alot better for me (no setcpu)

[Vibrant Android Development] Destron56853:
Flashed this rom a couple weeks ago and my phone has not been right sense. I tried to ODIN back to stock problem is, my phone now refuses to go in to download mode.

I have tried the Volume down+power and the phone just boots normally, and I have also tried through adb and it still boots normally and tried holding volume up AND down while plugging in USB..

If the phone is completely off and I plug in the USB it boots the phone. I usually wait until the green battery appears to try to boot in to download mode, its the only way I have ever had any luck. Except now the green battery won't appear, the phone just boots up.

Have tried everything I can imagine to get to download mode, but it refuse. I tried to wipe and install another rom from cwr but I get the script assert error, that says you need to ODIN to fix in the OP. So I am stuck. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] lamjah:
Hi,

I m having issues with mobile phone not recognized by PC. Drivers issues I think. Can you please lend a helping hand.thank you. I have this issues with MIUI roms too.
[Vibrant Android Development] lapdog101:
You need to manually change your build.prop using root explorer or a program like it. I manually changed the i9000 to SGH-T959 since i have gb bootloaders, and didnt want to Odin. Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
your problem is your PC, not the mod. Please remove the drivers and reinstall them.

Solution here - http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=311602

please keep this out of the rom discussion, it's not related at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
That's what I'm using, still all those issues.

Download mode is volume up and power, down is for recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] CBung:
Hey thanks for the work biff, liking the mod,

Only problems Ive had so far:

- When I did SMS restore (SMS Backup & Restore) the numbers didnt get connected to contacts, so i just have a bunch of numbers in my text messaging.

- When I install the swype beta, and enable swype in keyboard settings, i dont get swype. tried rebooting/reinstalling, no luck

- I have the external sd card problem, which I think I read is related to the kernel, so maybe Ill look into that further on my own.

Other then that, great stuff, thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] Troy1:
Try and get the swype installer app. Had a backup from trigger I used and it worked fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Wow, thanks for the tip on the V6 script! Watching system power usage drop like a rock now!

Biff, you should serf def include the script as part of the packaged rom so folks can just run it in script manager if they like after flashing... Works great for me so far and theres been zero complications.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
I just used swype beta from the swype website to get it back. I actually like it better then stock swype
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Did you try flashing to stock cm7?

If you ever flashed cm7 using cwm it will still be in the sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get folder. Id try booting into cwm recovery then flashing .zip from sd option and the previously mentioned folder...

After that login should be easier to use cause the glitch kernel will be gone and you can get to the charging screen again.

Just an idea, you may have already tried this.
[Vibrant Android Development] steveyoo97:
Love the ROM, been running it for about a week so far. It's great.

Is there any way I can get the T9 Dialer ?
[Vibrant Android Development] _Donovan_:
@infinitybiff I am liking the ROM, honestly very impressed. The only issues I have and I was wandering if you could help me out with is I need to force 3G. I live in that in between 3G and 2G area but I use this phone to tether. Before I would just choose 3G coverage only and pick up a few bars and then begin to tether. On this ROM all I see as an option is 2G only or default auto mode. Is there a way that I am not finding? Thanks for the help and the great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] wicked1lbc:
How do I flash if I'm coming from RevolutionRom JVQ Final Update 2 (2.3.4) 7.31.11 ?? I opened up my CWM and their is no option for the Vibrant recovery. only "Galaxy S i9000, GalaxyS i9000(MTD), Google Nexus S, Nexus S 4G" I didnt see an Odin for this either. Can Someone help pls?
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
Hi, odin to stock JFD and then install this ROM. Also, coming from RevolutionROM will cause issues as the base of biffmod is CyanogenMod.

Better be safe than sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] wicked1lbc:
Thanks bud. that's what i was thinking. thought I'd give it a try using the i9000 option and made sure i had done a back up... No Dice... all the build prop **** was wrong which is whats said in the beginning of the thread, but im stubborn lol. Restoring now and will odin to jfd. Thanks again man.

This should be good for daily driver [GPS]

Now that this rom has been released for over a couple days, what are your thoughts on it's GPS?

I have tried several of GB roms and they all had "GPS" bugs, and none of the developers were advocating that their roms "GPS" were good for daily driver.

Has anyone one here experienced any hick-ups with this functionality specifically?

I like the change log because of its features, but the GPS FIX is the catch for me.

I have been so disappointed for the lack of, or at best buggy as gitter bugs with the lack of drivers for the Vibrant phones from Samsung.

I now these developers are the unsung heros for the huge contributions.

I do Value Biff's work and I like where he has taken the CM7 with this release. I am wondering how far his innovativeness will take this development with his next release, & his creativeness has provided sound solutions for the slow 2.2 rom evolution. :rolleyes::D:rolleyes:

Bravo!
[Vibrant Android Development] vwrado:
My BLN only works on gmail. Perhaps it is because I am using handcent and not the stock messenging app? I tried to download the BLN app but it said not supported by this kernal.

I used to be on froyo and my BLN works with handcent just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Check out the script available in this very forum from strictlyrude, its the only thing that's shown an improvement in gps...

This rom locks the first time but requires a reboot to lock a second time and simetimes that didn't even help.

The available script seems to have solved that issue.

heres a link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199613

Other then that this rom/kernel combo from biff is the least buggy of all the cm7 build that I've flashed.

I also recommend the v6 supercharger script for optimizing memory management and freeing up ram. Its available for all android devices here.....

[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Ya bln the app doesnt work with this kernel (glitch 11, but 12 beta I think is supposed to...) BLN should work fine off the bat....

Did you do any kind of system data restore with titanium or anything after loading this rom? Sometimes conflicting system data will create similar problems along with a lot of fc's. I wouldn't suggest restoring any data except for third party apps for game saves, passwords, settings etc...

Again, a reflash or odin then reflash is your best bet then restore wanted apps without data and test. Then restore data one by one testing inbetween to eliminate possible culprits. GL.

What about GPS working? Is it same in both roms?
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
GPS glitch, phone.apk FC, Font Changer

I posted earlier that my phone.apk would FC on boot.

I also posted even earlier than that having GPS problems. It's as if the phone doesn't even see there's a GPS unit installed. I think it's after using Angry GPS. No flashing up in the notification bar. GPS Test says it's on, but no bars or digits, and the notification widget says it's off (or on, doesn't matter). Just a total disconnect.

I also discovered both of these only happen after I use the built in Font Changer.

I'm guessing there's a common file or a reference that the phone.apk also uses.

Here's how I got the phone.apk FC on boot: 1.

1. Changed the font

2. Rebooted (all OK)

3. Checked GPS, looked OK, but no lock (nor did I give it ample time/sunshine)

4. Opened Angry GPS. set defaults, OR reflash just the GPS fix included in this ROM

5. Rebooted.

Voila. Phone.apk FC right off the bat on boot. It refuses to go at all. Stays put after a reflash, too. I have to wipe, and I always reflash after I do in case a file's been substituted and a wipe doesn't put back the original.

Stock font is fine, or I'll rename/substitute the actual font files.

I hope my findings, as wandering and sketchy as the are, prove useful.

infinitybiff, I am forever in your debt. I was having no luck with a ROM at all, and yours was the first one I found that was easy to install. I have rooted and ROM'd my Acer Iconia tablet....very easy by the way...but was finding the instructions for most other ROM's I looked into simply impossible for me to understand. Yours, on the other hand, brilliant.

Thank you!

The rom comes with the theme chooser app.You use that to apply the themes go to the market and search t-mobile theme engine and only use compatible with cm7 or hdpi devices those are the two key things to look for compatible themes.you can also search xda for the compatible themes if you need any help just pm me and don't worry bud we all start from somewhere

You can throw any camera you want just look through the other gingerbread roms until you find the one you want then use root explorer to copy and paste it over you might have to fix some permissions

Just read back to like the 25th, I has posted some stuff that fixes all small issues (that I know of and imo) with this rom.

V6 super charger script fixes memory management and will set system usage back to nill, instead of eating up your battery.

Posted a link to the gps fix thread for all cm7 vibrant roms also, its a simple cwm flash that takes care of it and although its still not as fast or strong as my rides wifes sensation gps or my buddies evo gps.... It works. Better then it ever had before.

Exactly the "Samsung Vibrant MTD" option is the one to choose if you want to flash the CM7 type roms. This option will also tell the Rom Manager which roms to :cool: preview so that you can download them. This is done via the download rom feature in Rom Manger.
