Your best bet right now is probably glitch or bali. I am running glitch right now and it has been working great, it has also solved the soft speaker and phone call problem so thats a plus. OC/UV is great on glitch as well, best out of the kernels for cm7 right now, decent battery life and the performance is great. I recommend bali as well simply because bali kernels are always good, and I know a lot of people have gotten great results. Only reason I am running into bali is that for some reason my apns would always get deleted and I couldnt reenter them and in order to get 3g back Id have to reflash cm7 which is a hastle, but noone else has run into that problem so I would flash bali with confidence.

Eugenes streamline has also been getting really good reviews but there are still a lot of bugs so I would probably wait til its a little more stable (at least thats what im doing)

hope this helps

well assuming that you have a windows pc and also have the working usb drivers installed....

1st>go into settings>applications>development>put check marks in the first 2 options that say usb...hit the back button and also chk unknown sources. hit home button to exit

2nd>plug in the usb data cable and when you see the usb symbol in the notification bar pull it down...press it [usb notice..] then once you see the green guy click turn on usb....say yes to the usb warning....

Bingo you should be connected!

Note: if your pc don't see your phone over usb....reinstall the drivers...also a trip to samsung vibrant web site support might be helpful too!

Good luck!

:)

Umm, what is actually happening is that the audio routing isn't happening. We haven't figured out whether it is because the RIL layer needs to be told to do something we haven't found (nothing to do with the kernel). We call into the RIL in the same way we do for Normal calls, with a light difference (which is how stock does it too), the call goes thru, but no audio is routed in either direction. We're not completely sure if there is some other thing that needs to happen on the callback that we're not doing because Samsung is known to go around APIs when doing special things in the Galaxy S series.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Witch one on the glitch page would you recommend?

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

I got all of that. After the first few times of connecting the cable, seeing the USB icon pop up and then vanish. If I pull the status bar down, while the USB icon is there, I was able to get it to work. When I posted this, was when I could not select that I wanted to mount the phone.

I installed this ROM without a problem a few days ago and it was working fine during those few days, but today, it's I have apps FC'ing like crazy for reasons I can't determine. I didn't do anything to affect the OS or install any apps that would cause such major problems. I'm getting FCs on system processes, regular apps, 3rd party launchers. And it just keeps happening over and over and some apps have become corrupt.

anyone have any success in calibrating the compass? Facing west and says I am facing north.

EDIT: Did this...

Hello all,

I need some advice. I originally followed this page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant:_Full_Update_Guide to flash and everything was fine for 3 or 4 days and then the fc's came. So i odin'd to stock and when getting ready to reflash i see that you need to be on 2.2 to use his guide. So another member kwkslvr (who has been very helpful and patient btw) told me his method for flashing CM7 so i attempted to straight from 2.1 with no root to the following...

(kwkslvr's method) You definitely don't need to be on Froyo. You don't need root either. What has worked best for me is to Odin to 2.1, reboot into stock recovery and flash update.zip. Since you've flashed before, update.zip will probably already be in your internal sdcard unless you removed it. You'll have to flash it twice in a row without rebooting and that will load ClockworkMod Recovery.

Once you're in CMW Recovery (probably green recovery), wipe data/factory reset then format/system. These two steps are CRUCIAL! Flash your CM7 Nightly twice. The first time you flash it, it installs blue recovery. The second time it installs CM7. After that, again without rebooting, install gapps.

From that point, wipe data/factory reset again and reboot into the OS.

So i tried that and got to where the phone restarts after the flash and it has galaxy and cyanogen below it for a few seconds and then immediately script with font like from recovery mode races down the screen for a few seconds, then back to galaxy/cyanogen in a loop. So i odin'd again and as of now am stock 2.1 with the options of kies n it to 2.2 and then follow cyan page again or trying kwkslvr's method again. I did notice he mentioned nightlies but i am attempting to flash the stable on page 1 of this thread but don't think that would make much difference. I love the way this ROM looks and performed before it went off the tracks. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks alot

Here are the logcats you requested. I'm not experienced with ADB, so let me know if they're what you are looking for.

I odin'd to stock then installed the latest CM7 nightly. So this was a clean set-up. I also disabled all data services so the log's should be clean. Hopoe this helps!
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
Thats AWESOME work!

Maybe some point down the road would you be interested helping some of us learn how you get the above! I can follow code and have decoded software in ML years ago and would like to try my hand on android.

+100 on the above tho thats just AWESOME!

Thank you for your efforts

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
I've been writing code for money since the early 1980s; I bang assembler in my sleep going back to the Z-80.

Believe it or not when I started working on Triumph in August it was my first effort at anything Java; I've written code in "C" for the better part of that 30 years, however, so Cpp isn't MUCH different (more structure but the same capability more or less.)

Java isn't that tough to pick up.

Android suffers from a horrific lack of documentation at the internals level which makes it loads of fun to pick up as a new developer and it's a quite-large codebase spanning three languages (C, Cpp and Java) all of which have to work together. The penchant of manufacturers to refuse to provide source to various things (radio code being one of the more blatant but not the only example - the libra Wifi drivers are another one that is a LOT of fun) doesn't help and the lack of online data sheets for some of the devices (e.g. the light sensor in the triumph) makes for all sorts of fun too.

There's no real shortcut on learning the "how"; the fallacy often taught is that computer languages are somehow disparate. This is strongly reinforced in much of the so-called "job listings" and "job market" but it's utter crap. You can either program or you cannot, and if you can it's because you understand how computers (indeed, all digital devices) work at the hardware level. This also means that you either know or can teach yourself how to use an oscilloscope in a digital environment as well and with a bit of effort you should be able to take something like the ATMEL single-chip computers and build a microcontroller that works on a breadboard in a few hours. If from this you deduce that my view is that "programming" is really "computer engineering" all the way down to the hardware level you're right.

In other words the only correct way to learn to program is from assembler level; once you understand how a computer actually works internally the rest is just a matter of syntax and is easily figured out in a literal few hours. If you don't have the foundation you might be ok banging out code for someone but when faced with a "zero base" effort you'll be flatly lost.

All of the above simply means there is no such thing as a shortcut.

Are these the same files you sent to me using my builds? Or are they from stock? The ones you sent to me don't have a crash in them but still don't work so I'm not sure this is the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] gerald_luk:
I juz solved this problem,

You juz hav to change the system language to "English", Not "Hd"(default setting), fc will go away
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
This is great - but for some reason the call logs that we have aren't showing this crash you are seeing! I'm going to build a Vibrant update with the addition and ask

renardk to test it and see if it fixes it though and somehow we're just not catching it in the log.

People please, we need radio logs:

adb logcat -b radio

and post them on:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4365
[Vibrant Android Development] renardk764:
I pulled the files for you with alogcat but followed genesis3 instructions for the last ones. I thought going with a fresh install and without any added programs would be more accurate. I'm not sure how good they are since I'm not experienced with adb. Should I run it again with adb on the build you sent?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
I'm uploading a new update for you to test (will email you the link) - please get a logcat -b radio from that if it still doesn't work. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
Q, why does it turn on Airplane mode every time starting the phone..
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
Are you accidentally holding down the airplane button on the bottom right of the phone when you turn it on?
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
I'm set up and have a working dev environment for the Vibrant at this point; the "make the VM environment bigger" job is complete and I've verified that the clean CM7 copy I brought down this evening builds correctly, so I'm in a position to hack on it.

It looks like one of the devs already stuck my proposed patch in and built a test version; I've made that same edit locally in my copy here as it's obvious that it should have been there (look at the SamsungRIL right where that call into the radio is made and you can see that directly under it, if it's not an emergency call, it makes the same call to the regular "dial" routine and there's a handler defined (void return, but there) in the RIL's state table up above. This is one that ought to go in the base code in any event; it isn't going to do harm if it never is called on other Samsung devices by being in there.

Just waiting to hear if it worked - I don't dare try dialing 911 myself to find out ;)

PS: I also cook.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
It didn't. I'll push up my changes to my own github repository (not the official one) https://github.com/atinm/android_frameworks_base/commit/11fc091d963c0876b288273f7ea525ed6164c269 so you know where we are at.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
No for sure

And I can see every time I turn off / restart the phone..

The phone will automatically turn ON airplane mode before it shutted

How could I stop it doing this

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

How come the time is not right when I set it to Auto!!!

The daylight saving ended today but the clock was set 2 hour earlier....
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
Thanks - got it. Why the responseInts() though?

To the guy with the 911 job - PM me; I'd like the latest trace you have from that set of changes off that commit, and then I have something else I want to try that almost-certainly will work but it's definitely wrong in terms of what it does.

If it works, however, it makes the phone usable for a 911 call if it becomes necessary -- at least for now until (if?) we can figure out what else has to be done to make the "proper" way of doing it work as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
My smali dump of stock vibrant seems to handle it as a responseInts() so that's what I put in.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I had the same thing this morning. I rebooted and all seems well so far!
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
That's not uncommon (time updates not coming through); it only syncs when the tower sends it, and the carriers often do not on any reasonable interval -- GSM carriers (T-Mobile anyone?) are notorious for only doing so on a cell boundary change (e.g. handoff) so when you sit in one place you'll NEVER see a time update.

It gets even better on T-Mobile; their towers will often not send a time update unless you cross a geographic boundary where a time zone is involved or you re-register (e.g. go into airplane mode and back out, reset the phone, etc); I don't know why T-Mobile has their gear set up this way but it is.

In short the phone doesn't ask for network time (NITZ), the network sends it and it can't do anything unless it gets the upcall.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
Okay fixed, it wont turn on automatically now

From Terminal window

Type:

su

then copy and paste (or type) the following, one line at a time:

Code:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';

.exit

exit

exit

reboot and see if that fixes the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] chingoo04:
Anyone having issue with auto time zone? I live in central time since day light saving is off here. I checked my time and keeps going to mountain time. Anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
Yeah, in Atlanta, but Automatic is forcing Central Standard Time, so now I'm an extra hour behind...
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Same here, luckily I noticed it last night.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
YES! The time gets an extra hour behind!

I don't trust that auto anymore

someone said reboot will fix it but not for my phone..
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
I had the same issue this morning with the time. I just rebooted and all is well!
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
lol I just noticed! Hope they have a update for the time zone...Cuz changing it to correct one and turning on auto changes it back...

:eek:

Note: change to the correct time zone area... keep auto off..reboot...then turn auto back on..

that worked for me

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] randalla0622:
Reboot did not fix it for me. Phone thinks it's in the Alaska timezone, instead of Pacific timezone. My other T-Mobile phone (G2) running CM7.1 doesn't have this issue.

I hope this gets worked out as I like the phone getting the network time to keep it current.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I did this and so far it's sticking to the correct timezone. Too bad my alarm went off 1 hour too late this morning (time updated from MDT to PST when it should have been MST)
[Vibrant Android Development] randalla0622:
I'll give this a try and report back when I my wife gets back home.

Hey just wanted to apoligize to those who frequent this section. First time here i noticed someone had a question that got answered so i thought it would be ok to ask for help with my issues. After some more reading and wondering why i wasn't getting much help i see doing what i did is a no no. So i went to the Q&A vibrant section and will keep all my questions there. Sorry for my previous posts wasting time and space. And thanks to kwkslvr for doing what you could.

[Vibrant Android Development] pault949:
When I change the time zone to "Eastern" and reboot the phone, it comes back up as Eastern, but when I enable auto again, it switches to "Easter Island" time zone. Strange.

At this point, both times are UTC-05 which works for this time of year, but in March of next year, we're in trouble since they are below the equator, we will be 2 hours off!

I don't know, but could there be an enum that is off by 1 (or more) that is causing these issues?

Christo, check that you are on the right time zone. I had to do a double take to see the difference between "Easter Island" and "Eastern" because the times were the same.

I had the weirdest issue with this ROM over the weekend. After a few weeks of encountering virtually no issues I stopped getting data, completely. No edge, no 3g. Rebooted a bunch of times, reflashed the ROM. Clear dalvik/cache... all that stuff. Odin'd back to stock and I still got this issue again later the same day.

Any news/progress on the time auto-update bug?
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
It's the carrier folks. Not the first time that T-Mob has screwed this up and it's not the ROM.

I've been ok since late last night and I'm loading and booting new versions right now about every half-hour, as I'm working on an unrelated bug list.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:

[Vibrant Android Development] Ultro:
Just flashed this on my friend's phone. Was having an issue with the lockscreen. He prefers entering a password to unlock. But after rebooting the phone, the password would not be what he set it to. Had to factory reset after flashing Gapps because of this. Will post more feedback soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
I think this is right. I have been in London for the past 6 days and when I got back to Houston today my time went straight to the right time. No messing with timezones or turning auto time on or off. This lends a lot of credence to the theory that T-Mobile got something wrong to begin with and subsequently fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
Eastern here, although when I read your post I did consider the possibility I read it too fast and might have had Easter... lol

My Vibrant also didn't update correctly with the time change.

And, my phone is also having GPS problems using this ROM. I can use a GPS enable app maybe once or twice before the GPS stops working and I have to reboot the phone before a GPS app can activate the GPS again.

Anyone experiencing "Cell standby" to take up the majority of battery life? I've tried flashing 2 modems already and they've just made it worse. Besides that, great rom. ICS theme via Theme Chooser works really well. Thanks for your guys hard work. On Bali kernel if that makes a difference, don't think it should.
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
A couple of things...

For me, the EB4 version of the Streamline kernel is the best for battery life and functionality, provided you run something like Juice Defender along side.

Second, I am actively working the 911 issue. It's considerably more complex than it first appears, but it IS under active investigation. Please do not pester me on this; there's a guy who can actually CALL 911 to test working with me and another person here on the issue, and if we find something we'll post on it.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G gets Gingerbread update, will this help vibrant development?

Galaxy S 4G is getting the Gingerbread update. Will GPS drivers pulled from that help Vibrant at all? What about the 911 calling issue? Trying to get the word out to the devs to see this.

Check out the link below

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1810
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
Oh my.

Will be pulling that, and yes it might help with the 911 issue. It probably won't help with GPS.

If someone actually GETS IT via MiniKies please post here - I don't want to Odin back to stock until I know it will be picked up (it's quite a pain in the butt to do so and has a couple of times soft-bricked me, requiring quite a bit of work to "unbrick")
