plz help me any hepl is appreciated
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
Try to put a correct ROM zip with the name PG32IMG.zip on your SD card and then boot into bootloader(Power + Vol Down), it'll should pick up the zip from sd card and update it.

Follow the onscreen instructions to update.
[HTC Incredible S] vamsi.veernaki:
ummmm sryry but when i look for a stock rom australia it is always in the form of an exe not a zip can you plz link me to a zip rom

PLEASE!!!
[HTC Incredible S] vamsi.veernaki:
ummmm sryry but when i look for a stock rom australia it is always in the form of an exe not a zip can you plz link me to a zip rom

PLEASE!!! and i heard that f you flash the same radio twice your phone is get bricked :/
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You simply need to extract the Rom.zip from the RUU exe.
[HTC Incredible S] vamsi.veernaki:
im really srry but im a noob in this could you please inform it in a step by step manner please and do i have to run the exe?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Search. There are several threads that details the process you need to follow.
[HTC Incredible S] vamsi.veernaki:
THANK SOOO MUCH!!! i post back if something goes wrong :)
[HTC Incredible S] vamsi.veernaki:
heyy um srry i have to questions, first when i run the ruu.exe and check my roaming for the rom it isnt there and second can i create a gold card without a phone and if i can, can i flash cwm onto my phone?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
When you run the RUU.exe, it will uncompress the exe and you will find the ROM.zip file in the %TEMP% directory, which may or may not be the roaming directory you searched in. I would also check the Local and LocalLow folders. Also, you need to keep the RUU.exe screen opened while you are searching the directories because when you exit the program it will clean up the %TEMP% directory.

You could attempt to flash CWM back on your phone by using the PG32IMG.zip file and see if HBOOT will pick it up. If that is successful, then you can flash a ROM and you should be good to go.
[HTC Incredible S] suaji:
pls make a tutorial how to unbrick phone..

i want learn from u.. :D

I can't be the only person here who has been watching, waiting, and hoping for an AOSP ROM for the Vibrant. Just something that's fast, smooth, and just works. So when I saw mindstormmaster1 post this thread in General on the NoFrills AOSP ROM a couple weeks back, I was quite excited. I've been using this as my daily driver since then, but I figure the proper place to inform the Vibrant community of its existence is here in the Development section.

So, to share it with the masses, here is ngiordano's NoFrills AOSP for the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant T959:

Download Here

Latest GAPPS (gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip)

Latest Gapps Gtalk (with FFC) (gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip)

[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
New Kernel

http://www.multiupload.com/EG07T8S6GX
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
And on a personal note, I installed an FFC on my Vibrant, so I've been using this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17277942&postcount=37

and this file:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QDC947A4

for a very good, working FFC.

There are no 4-image issues, the FFC is rotated correctly, and full 720p HD recording works as it should.
[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
Another CM7 port. Thanks for sharing..
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
built from AOSP. CM7 for fixes.

No ****ty themes.

No extra lockscreens.

No replaced icons.

No TW touches.

No additional crap.

Not AOSP"ish".

Not starting from CM7, and then themed to standard AOSP.

Not JVQ with a gingerbread launcher and "removed" apps.

Please read.

This is as stock AOSP as I have ever seen for the Vibrant - without any of the bloat BS from CM7-sourced ROMs.

This performs identically to my Nexus S 4G. Working GPS. No lag to be found. Smooth as butter. Oh, and 911 dialing works.
[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
Cool..

About new kernel. Do i need BLN app?
[Vibrant Android Development] chirantan.f:
so will CM7 kernels work with this ROM? like Bali for CM7?
[Vibrant Android Development] dago:
Not real AOSP Rom !

-> Profils

-> CM tweaks (but not CMParts)

-> CM lockscreen

-> CM Wallpapers
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
Yes, all CM7 and MIUI kernels/mods seem to work for this ROM.

Please.

Read.

The.

Post.

I will quote for you, again:

It's quite clearly stated in the quote that this is not pure AOSP. It is, however, as close to AOSP as you're gonna see for the Vibrant. This is not built from CM7 source like the other "AOSPish" ROMs in this section. It is built from AOSP first, and has CM7 tweaks for stability or GPS to make the ROM functional.

That said, if you can find a "more" AOSP Rom for the Vibrant than this one, I would sure love to see a link. Until then, practice those reading skills.

And if you don't like this ROM, don't download it, and don't install it. Keep waiting for that "real" 100% AOSP ROM that - as yet - does not seem to exist. I'd know - i've been looking for a simple, stock, AOSP Rom for the Vibrant since this phone was released last year.
[Vibrant Android Development] dago:
Ok ! But Why default lockscreen is rotary ? (-> CM7 source)

AOSP lock isn't present because, CMparts.apk is absent..
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
No idea. Feel free to ask the ROM's developer.

Wow some people are just ungrateful...

Thanks for the rom , even though you havent received any apreciation.
[Vibrant Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Glad I was able to tip xda off to this great rom(the original post was mine). I have been using it for a while now with no problems. Flashing Bali 2.1 on Nofrills 1.0 makes the SD card work. About to flash 2.0 and Ill let you know how it works after a few days. This has to be one of the best roms out there.
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
100% thankful for you posting this tip in General (I reference your post at the top of the thread)

I have been using this as my daily driver since I saw it over there. Not a single complaint.
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
Not sure about the messages thing. I haven't seen that error.

I updated the original post with the latest GAPPS (20110828) which is what I'm using on my Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] ou814us2:
Disable voodoo?

nevermind
[Vibrant Android Development] chirantan.f:
a quick question..

as someone pointed out, GAPPS didnt install properly, it just installed market, and never asked to log in with google account and thus i guess my sync isnt working properly, i have to manually refresh gmail and cant get FB sync to work, on which i heavily depend for getting contact info, any one facing similar issues?

apart from that, i have to say, battery life is amazing, i am using bali 2.2 :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
Does this have the notification bar shortcuts?

[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
One thing I noticed is if you are coming from a i9000 (2.2.1) rom the install fails... looking for T959 in build prop.

restore to Project V... then flashed... allset
[Vibrant Android Development] street954:
ROM is smooth and quick.

Came from a fresh odin to 2.1, then flashed gapps, phone sync'd contacts, but will not install any apps from the market. Download completes, but it is saying internal storage is insufficient. Phone is sayin i have 9+ gigs sd, 1.7 ext sd, and 0 available of 0 for internal

This is the exact ROM ive been looking for, and would greatly appreciate any help/advice. Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Android Development] ou814us2:
Got gmail to sync, still no favebook sync. Rom is really fast. Only problem now is that even after i changed modems i still have crappy data service...gettin edge when normally get 3g...anyone?

[Vibrant Android Development] thehandi:
Seconded. Excellent observation.
[Vibrant Android Development] nastynateyj:
I was having a similar problem. I ODIN'd to 2.1, flashed the ROM and GApps and couldn't download anything from the market.... then I remembered the GB bootloaders. I just ODIN'd the GB bootloaders and everything seems to work fine now. I'm glad because this seems to be the fastest and least hassle free ROM I've tried. I'll update if I come across anything new.
[Vibrant Android Development] rush_ad:
is there wi-fi calling?
[Vibrant Android Development] lazyb421:
This was posted by ngiordano about this particular problem.

"To fix this:

Boot to recovery

Wipe Dalvik

Re-flash ROM

Fix permissions"
[Vibrant Android Development] Serious_Beans:
It has the notifications in the status bar? :O, hows the battery life compared to CM7 though? worth the switch? Because I just set up my CM7 perfectly :(
[Vibrant Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
Honestly if you got CM7 all set up just how you like it I wouldnt bother. This feels slightly snappier and a little better on battery so just me, but I would stick with CM7 then when you get bored and want to try something new give this a try.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, this is similar to CM even though it's not the same. Battery still is not close to other 2.2 roms I have used. The speed and performance of CM is also in this rom though. I do feel it is a very clean feeling rom compared to so many that now have a million mods involved.
[Vibrant Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Well I guess if the nightlies don't start up anytime soon again I'll probably switch to this ROM, especially if battery is better, I need a phone with better battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
This ROM is really nice, slick, smooth and light weight... thank you

Run Froyo, not gonna get any better till/if GB is official for the Vibrant.

My best run with any GB rom for Batt life I got 25hrs with my norm useage... 2 1/2 days with Froyo... there's ya batt life
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
As you can see from the screenshot I posted with battery usage stats, I got some 23 hours out of this ROM. What you can't see is that the "45% Mediaserver" stat is me streaming internet radio over wifi for 5 hours. 23 hours is pretty much what I would get for most Froyo builds.

Of course, that depends on what governor you're using.

OnDemand = best performance, but eats up battery pretty quickly. This is the default for this ROM, i believe.

Conservative = fairly good performance, but pretty good battery. That's what I got the above stats on.

Smartassv2 = the least impressive performance-wise, but the battery usage seems to be very low.

Throw in some good undervolting, and you'll see this last you a while
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
Nobody acknowledged me earlier. Does this rom have the notification bar short cuts?
[Vibrant Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Yes, it does. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
So I am a little confused in the OP you state : "I recommend Gingerbread Bootloader:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1117990"

But the flashing instructions say:

The easy way:

- Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this).

The hard way:

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

I can't find a way to do this. I'm using GB Boot loader now (Lidroid) but I can not flash a 2.2 rom from it. So how do you have a GB Boot loader and get a 2.2 rom on there so I can flash THIS rom? lol

Sorry I am just trying to figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Well it seems I could just edit the build.prop to read SGH-T959 and then I was able to just flash this on my current Lidroid Bootloader. Started loopoing after first install attempt... pulled battery like instructed... flashed again (this time with the blue recovery instead of red) and it worked fine.

Thanks!!! Great work! :D

OH also to help those with GAPPS problem... after flashing the GAPPS the Market works.... uninstall Maps and Gmail in the market and re install them from there and they will work :D

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

last question / bother.... can I install the MMS.apk off other GB roms? Thats the only samsung thing I liked over ASOP...

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] lazyb421:
Yeah it was very confusing to me also. Ngiordano posted some new install instructions that aren't so vague.

"If you are coming from a 2.3 ROM:

Enter CWM recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Go to mounts and storage, format system , go back.

Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.

Go to Install zip file, select zip file, and Install

Reboot to system

Currently on 2.1 or 2.2 samsung roms (stock or custom):

If you don’t have CWM recovery, Download Rom Manager and install CWM recovery

Download Odin from here if you don't have odin already and GingerBread Bootloader

Load GBL in PDA, click on bootloader update and reset time. Nothing else.

Once odin says pass with a green bar, pull battery.

Enter CWM recovery, wipe data/factory reset.

Go to mounts and storage, format system , go back.

Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.

Go to Install zip file, select zip file, select the ROM and Install

Reboot to system.

If your internal storage reads 0 MB after install:

Boot to recovery

Wipe Dalvik

Re-flash ROM

Fix permissions"

So I guess the froyo bootloaders aren't required.
[Vibrant Android Development] quitit:
Hello, could someone help me fix the issue regarding the zero internal space/storage. I've reflashed the rom at least three times now and cleared the dalvik cache each time before the reflashal and also fixed permission right after the reflashes. Im currently on this rom with the kernel thats provided on the second post and still have the internal issue. Please provide any help, thank you for all the hard work you've all provide. If there are any mispeling or grammar mistakes, its because im on my phone right now seeking some guidence. Thank you again.

EDIT: Nevermind, another reflash and it finally fix the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
After flashing the so called "new kernel" last night along with the gb boot loader (not sure that I needed to for any real reason in particular), I charged my battery up all night and then wiped my battery stats in recovery before removing the charger. Went all day without really using my phone because I was at work. After about 13 hours or so, batter is still over 84%. I cannot believe it! A rom that runs as slick as CM without the CM bugs (mute/unmute etc.). The soft key lights also stay off when you touch the screen (great for reading in the dark using the screen filter app). INCREDIBLE! Won't be leaving this rom any time soon. :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] ZeroIsntTheHero:
So, I'm not certain if this is just something that is lacking(I know the Vibrant has never had grand GPS), but I've yet to get any locks whatsoever while using this ROM. I was able to get 12 sats in view with 7-10 locks on Froyo, but no luck whatsoever with this. Any ideas or suggestions? It's been a bit since I played around with my Vibrant, but after searching the forums I didn't see anything specifically stating a fix or what the issue might be.
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
I used AngryGPS to change the Operation Mode from Standalone to MSBased and then use GPS Test and clear/update AGPS data and the GPS is working great. Not saying that this is any kind of fix... just something I usually do that seems to work for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
Gps works for me. It can be a bit finnicky though if i use the notification toggle. Also, right now it's just 20ft accuracy, but I believe I've seen it lower than that..
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
So whats the deal with external SD not working? Like I won't be able to access it or what?

Sent from my Vibrant on Ultimate 2.2.1 :D
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
You can use it just fine if you use the new kernel posted in the second post I believe. Version 3 of this rom is being worked on as we speak with a few bug fixes and a few items added. I'm not sure of everything going into it, but this rom is already way better than every other rom I have been on.

When I first installed it and it had the glitch kernel, it seemed to eat battery quite quickly, but with the new kernel, it's as good or better than any other 2.2 rom I've every run. WOW!:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] NWolf:
I flashed this rom according to the instructions and it seemed to work ok. I then flashed the GAPPS.

The market FC's. I've tried fixing permissions and wiping the caches and such, but no luck.

Anyone have any ideas? Kind of useless ROM without the market.

I have not flashed a GB bootloader. Is there any particular reason to?
[Vibrant Android Development] JediDru:
^ This it kills me on EVERY CM7 variant except Miui with their included kernel. I just wanted to adjust my voodoo color settings so I flashed the new bali kernel, after running great for 2 days. Force close ground zero! Tried various forms of wiping when going to a fresh install to struggling to convince myself that I must be doing something wrong. I think with the further lack of support from Team Douche that this bug ridden mess will never get ironed out. Or just as well prove me wrong :D.

Re-reading this I want to clarify to the the creator of no frills thank you for the work I just wish that CM7 worked a whole lot better with a lot less work from us. And my frustration at that is in no way directed towards you. Thanks again. /rant
[Vibrant Android Development] NWolf:
Hmm.. I've been avoiding CM7 because it just seems too buggy and lacking features. I am looking for a rom for my non-technically inclined father and semi-technically inclined brother. Since they live far from me, I need a rom that is stable and fast and doesn't have to be updated once I release the phones to them. I was hoping this was it, but apparently I'm stymied by the kernel... rats.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I personally odined back to stock jfd before starting. Even after that, I still had a boot loop after first flashing this and had to pull the batter and put it back into recovery to flash again. Once I got it working though, it has been my favorite rom. This truly is not CM7. It has some of the same tweaks, but is not built as a variant of CM7. I'm following the thread on simply android and a version 3 of this rom is being worked on at the moment and I'll be sure to update you guys with the link if someone doesn't beat me to it.

I personally don't have a data plan and rely on wifi, so I can't tell you how well 2g/3g works on this thing. Aside from that, I have not had a single force close, battery is wonderful (with the new kernel, not glitch), and this rom is fast. Not to mention 2.3.5. :) For those who have not gotten this thing working perfectly yet, Good luck, and happy flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpeckover:
Where are the language packs? Not installed? How about the carrier spn-conf.xml?? Is that method not working with 2.3.5? I am unable to see carrier names just numbers..

I would like to add some things to this rom since it is nice and simple, I tried to flash a CWM version of the LatinIME but it just froze at the kernel boot screen.. Reflashed and now working on it again.
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
I odin'd to jfd myself and am wondering if the boot loop was caused by flashing gapps right after the rom. Did you flash gapps as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I put this on last night and it has been running good. I put the Neo kernel on instead of the built in Glitch kernel. I tend to get better battery life with Neo. I have had no problems with 3g. I had a few other minor bugs at first but they seem to be gone once I rebooted. I came from cm7 and followed those instructions. It all worked as posted.
[Vibrant Android Development] ou814us2:
I tried this rom out for a.few days but my main issue was the lack of a good signal. I tried several different modems but none worked well. Went back to Bionix. Would love to try again if a new version came out with better reception. I also started fresh with odin, many cache, dalvik cleared and permissions fixed but dis not help. Rom also worked great with TWiz 4, probably the best mesh so far for me. Also overclock worked great for me beings I can't overclock at all on froyo. Thanks for a great effort, few more tweaks and it will be "right"!

Sent from my Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I'm pretty sure that the carrier names is fixed in the next version. It should be on it's way soon I think, but I'm not the dev.

I think I did, but I'm not sure. I did use rom manager to redownload and reflash the gapps as I didn't get the prompt to install anything after. Still nothing, but I had the market and just downloaded gmail and the rest like I do with any other apps. Everything is great. I used TB to re-install my apps and at first the market didn't show them, but after clearing market data, they showed up. I love this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anas77:
Based on my experience, best GB rom on my phone by far. Thank you guys for sharing and great job by the developer.

I just can't add facebook account to sync my contacts and calender.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Here is a quote from the dev on another forum. "Hmmm Facebook sync seems to be an issue. Use Friends Sync in market. Works like a charm." -ngiordano

It may get fixed in another version, which he is working on v3 now.
