As I said I also odined GB bootloaders when I did a previous install of a GB rom. GB bootloaders are backward compatible, there is no need to downgrade back to froyo bootloaders unless you go to cm7, so I left them when I went back to a Froyo rom as I like the button combinations better to get into recovery and download mode.

I went ahead and flashed this Rom straight over Trigger 3.2 (a 2.2 rom) with GB bootloaders and it flashed fine. I did a factory reset and all the wipes, etc. I had no issues that weren't mentioned in the OP, except bad wifi reception.
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
+ 20 :)

YES way.. you can be on a 2.2 and have BL :)

I have BL and go from 2.2.x to 2.3.x all the time :)

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

agreed on the button combos :)

did you try the wifi fix that was in the threads?

it solved my issue
[Vibrant Android Development] VVerevvolf:
I've only ever used PIT and PDA areas. Load the 512 PIT file in the PIT box and a tar file (usually JFD if you are flashing back to stock) in the PDA box then hit start.
[Vibrant Android Development] mckn:
Hi again,

I'm done a complete re-installation. Back to stock and then I did the whole installaeh tion all over again.

Still can't see and APN's when i go to Settings -> Wireless Network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names. When I pressing on menu I nothing happends. So I cant add a new one.

I have updated the apns-config.xml manually but still not working. Anyone else got this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it?

Thanks!

Edit: I fixed it by downloading APN Manager from market and set the APN from that app.
[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
Same here. It seems to be freezing more often on 2nd day of use. Today I've had more than five freezes. Tried wiping cache/dalvik but that didn't help. Yes I'm running the lidroid kernel. Perhaps I've installed too many apps for this ROM /Kernel to work reliably?
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
I used the bullet kernel.. so far so good

no gps though

Thanks for your post and sharing your issues with this rom.

Review your Log files here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/601503/how-do-i-obtain-crash-data-from-my-android-application and track what the source of the problem is.....

Do you have a bad app?

Is this hard ware related?

Is this File Related?

Do you have a corrupt Memory files?

IS your memory working Correctly?

Do you have enough space?

Is this about files with permissions related?

Is this about files in a non accessible space?

Is this rom related....Maybe....but until you have the source of the problem, there will be no way to fix it.

what happens in the logcat during/before the freezing.

You can also probably send hayn_pryde46 a copy of the file so that he can assist with narrowing down the scope if issues. The problem cant be found if no one is looking...

Thanks for your post and sharing your issues with this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
what is the fix for getting rid of acore fc 's?

when I try to import contacts.. I get a fail
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Hi...is the RC version reduced the number of FC's on certain apps and the Settings? I would flash this ROM, if only the FC's is to a minimun. I like the speed on this, but not the FC's. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
Thanks for trying to help.

The Vibrant I'm using is actually my wife's (I have a MT4G). She loves this SGS2 port but the random crashes are making her crazy. She made me put her phone back to stock-rooted last night. However I will be happy to try again and post a logcat and more info.

Here is how I installed . . .

(I already had GB boot-loaders installed after trying the original SGS2 port)

(Voodoo was enabled)

1) Downloaded lidroid and then Odin'ed CSC, PDA, PHONE, and PIT. I then let the phone boot up to what looks like a Kanji GB Rom.

2) Restarted the phone in Recovery and then followed OP instructions . . .

Flash "T-Mobile Galaxy S II Hercules v.II.zip"

Wipe Caches

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Fix Permissions

Reboot Wait 15 Mins.

Reboot

Update Superuser

Phone booted fine. Disabled Audible touch tones. Wifi wasn't working so I flashed WifiFix. Restored apps using titanium. Everything seemed to be working fine day one. The second day the phone started freezing randomly.

All my apps work fine on stock-rooted.

I don't think so, however I've never been able to get a GPS signal on this phone. Only wireless networks track location.

Followed OP instructions exactly other then applying WifiFix.

I started fresh with Odin so I don't understand how I would have corrupt files.

Other than not getting a GPS signal the phone seems to be working fine. Never had problems running stock-rooted.

There is plenty of storage space available. I don't recall how much memory was available. What would be the typical memory available after installing this ROM fresh?

I did fix permissions. I didn't get any unexpected FC's.

I guess posting a logcat would be helpful. I will talk my wife into letting me give this SGS2 port another shot. She loves this port other than the freezing. She was already frustrated with freezing and other problems after trying the other SGS2 port w/ Bullet.

Thanks again to hayn_pryde46, TEAM INFINITY, Zohawkish, and kevho00.

EDIT:

I would like to add that when the phone would freeze it was almost always while using the browser, specifically browsing these forums.
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
As previously noted by hp, I think the freezes are stemming from memory issues. I've had 0 freezes in the past 24 hours.

There are a lot of unnecessary system apps in this ROM, and once removed no more freezes. I used root explorer to remove them. Hope it works for you as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
I will try removing unnecessary apk's from /system/app when I try this again.

So, did you have freezes before you removed apps? I've only noticed one other person report freezes other than me using this hayn_pryde46 port. I just want to make sure I'm not the only one.
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
As you've heard before, all of our phones vary, but I'm fairly certain freezing is a common problem with this ROM. It is also possible that I removed a problem app, but most freezes involved multi tasking?
[Vibrant Android Development] gtoman7777777:
I just flashed this over the Hawkish version and it is 10x smoother and so far many times less freezes. thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
Yes Sorry Everyone It Is A Memory Issue Because Sgs II Apks Are Huge Files To Get Them All Working On Rom Is A Hard Feat. I Dont Know How We Can Fix The Memory Issue Thats Causing The Ram To Spike Or Just Having To Dame Many Apps In The System, Thats Why I Put All T-Mobile Apks In The First Apps Folder Not The System One. It Is Possible To Just Delete Everything You Dont Want From The System Apps... If You Dont Want Lookout Delete The Lookout Lib To That Will Clear Up System Memory Too... All In All Good Luck With What You Delete...
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
Try The Gps Config File From ExplodingBoy70s Page It Could Also Be That We Need New Specifics To The Kernel For 2.3.5 Roms
[Vibrant Android Development] djordan79:
Agreed! This is MUCH smoother than the original Hawkish version.... Way faster and I haven't had one single force close on anything... Hopefully that will stay the case.. Lol

And what will change if I flash the TW4 Tmobile file found under the the hercules zip?.... Just not sure what exactly that file does..
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
Use It Only If You Change TW4, Its Only To Get Back To the Original...
[Vibrant Android Development] avio07:
So you can't receive calls on this rom? I just read incoming calls can't receive them as a bug?? Hawkish doesn't have that problem.

the Lidroid package crashed odin

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

do u have to on gingerbread to flash this???

or can i just flash GB bootloader and flash the rom with CWM????
[Vibrant Android Development] djordan79:
I had to load the phone, csc, etc files separately in odin instead of one .tar file... Is that what you did?... Worked fine for me....

I odined to stock JFD....

Then rooted.... Then odined GB bootloaders ( just to be safe)....

Then i odined lidroid files.... And then flashed this rom thru CWM and all is well!
[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
I've found that odin is easy to crash. The trick that works for me is to put the phone in download mode then NOT connect it to the computer until after odin is configured. When you are ready to click the odin Start button, THEN connect your phone to the computer and click Start.
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
You Gotta Be On JVT Like The Original...
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
I was able to both make & receive calls with no issues. I personly liked the older ring tones but that can be fixed or replaced easily ...not an issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Thanks for the feedback, we would like to narrow the scope to identify what is freezing or what specific activities that has caused this type of results. Can you send us a log file to supplement with?

sent from a Mobile Infinity Rom
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Here is something that may have been over looked...after the install, were you able to go to the market to update some of the apps like Flash?

We Are Slowly Getting There... Thanks Everyone For The Great Feedback...
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
You guys are doing a great job! I got wiped on the last update is there a script that can be removed from the updated ROM to avoid this?

And the calendar widget won't allow an appointment time, shows the value h mm? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
Just Tap h:mm
[Vibrant Android Development] AngryDinosaur:
there is 4 files in the lidroid package, the pit, pda, phone and csc

i put all four in their corresponding place

do i put all four of them in ???
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
Hmmmm, not working for me. It goes right back to h:mm. No worries, I can use the app.
[Vibrant Android Development] djordan79:
Yes... All four... Should work fine
[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
I did update apps in the market. I don't recall if Flash was included. I will double check when I re-install this weekend. My wife doesn't want me to mess with here phone again until this weekend. If we still experience frequent freezing I will post a logcat.

Just to clarify, do you recommend that I DO or DO NOT update Flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
are there any bug fixes in the 10/21 build??

the FC's... acrore etc??

I have tried this ROM throughout its stages.. and builds.. never had boot issues.. just lots of fc's etc.. want it to work..

No fcs for me to stop dialer FC all you have to do is turn off audible touch sound in dialer an ran this ROM all day no problem

Does this ROM move my restored apps to the SD card?

I have installed this ROM - just as the OP requested: Oden to LinDroid, Reboot, flash this ROM, Wipe Caches&Dalvik, Fix permissions and reboot.

Then, after restoring my apps with TB, and reboot - my apps are all gone.

When I re-install my apps and force it to EXTERNAL SD, some work, some do not....

DARN, how do I fix this?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
best method I have found that seems to help out with many first booth things ( this should be added to instructions) is disable lagfix on first boot.. .let it sit and start the rom with no voodoo, then go into CWM and enable voodoo and go from there
[Vibrant Android Development] Drjjones426:
Enable voodoo and then restore app. I remember haveing that problem awhile back with another GB rom
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
@#$$@#% ^&$ &%^&%$ !!! Fc's continue.. phone fcs... freezes... acore..
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Go to sound an turn off audible touch
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
I did that first thing. learned that on one of the first builds..

I appreciate their efforts.. but man.. this things is still pretty scary
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Sounds like bad flash not one FC my favorite ROM out there
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
Ok I'm confused on the ODIN part here. I have extracted the lidroid package and can't find the 4 files....can someone tell me how to get to this point, as I want to re-flash this ROM? I flashed it before, but didn't do the ODIN. I went straight into CWM and flash it there.
[Vibrant Android Development] G1toVibrant:
inside the rar there are files.. pit, csc, phone... pda etc

Thanks for the feedback G1toVibrant;, I am sure that HP makes a note of this...

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I personally did not, I just used the Pit and PDA.

Perhaps this is a source that others have experienced. The files to the lidroid package are not provided by Team Infinity, Just the Link. Those extra files are for that rom in a Chinese linked rom. I dont think anyone in the bullpen speaks Chinese.

But the PDA in that link is a life saver due to the fact that it has the correct file systems in place so when the actual flashing of HP Hercules rom sets in, from the odin PDA makes the installation quick and simple. Now bare in mind guys, this Port is new from a NEW i9000 Rom. There are going to be more untold issues that will have to be addressed. :D The feedback that is provided here will help address them as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] shownuff:

[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
just use everything in the package or you can use just the pit and pda... The fc has to do with the rom team infinity and i are working on bug fix...
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
not if the backlight is on automatic
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
The brightness is on manual, but i installed dolphin brow, and now it's working correctly, so its just a bug in default browser.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
just press menu in the stock browser, and there's a brightness setting in the browser. adjust it to your liking. its not a bug.

Been Working On The New T-Mobile Sgs II Settings For Days Now... A Few Things Are Off In Sounds And Couple FCs Other Then That Better Then Original...

I Will Fix Everything I Can Guys

[Vibrant Android Development] bitblt:
I'm surprised this thread isn't getting more attention. You guys are doing great work. This Hawkish/SGS2 port is the most interesting ROM I can find for my wife's phone.

The biggest problem is the random freezing. On average the phone is freezing two times a day. But it's intermittent. Sometimes the phone will work all day long without issues, then two freezes in one hour. Otherwise this ROM is quite functional.

I finally captured a short logcat before the phone froze. It was tricky because I had to wait until my wife wasn't using her phone, and then hope it would freeze while i'm capturing logcat info.

Anyway, this logcat was captured with the following filter:

adb logcat *:E

When the phone froze I was browsing random websites. The screen was frozen but the buttons would light up when pressed. After about a minute the phone reboots. You will notice faults near the end of the logcat.

I hope this is useful.
