+1; i don't know which kernel to flash!

VibrantKernel-B1-Update1.zip or FuguModICS_Vibrant_update.zip

The former says update 1 but the latter says update 2 and was added earlier... :confused:

[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:
Pretty much everything is working for me. No fcs yet. I used the b1update1 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrantliker:
Got the adb working but not the MTP/PTP options. Can you see your sd cardwith ICS like you could pre-ICS?

Can alternative keyboards be used? Doesn't seem to be the case.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
I'm successfully using the latest Swype beta.

I'm still running beta 1 of this i9000 ICS ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] mrpeepers86:
I can see both my internal USB storage and my external SD card in MTP mode. I already had the I9000 USB drivers installed from back in the early Gingerbread ROM days, and it looks like that's what Windows is using. I don't have the installer package anymore, but if you search Google or the Vibrant forum for "Samsung I9000 USB driver" you should be able to find them.
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
I tried the KB5 model and no luck with that.

Flashed it 3 times with wipes of cache and Dalvik cache. No dice.

Still can't get any phone signal. Baseband version is "Unknown". When I attempt to connect to select a network operator I get a message "Error while searching for networks"
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
you should reflash

and if that fails, ODIN to stock before reflashing again.

[Vibrant Android Development] DAKIDD236:
Icons look really small in Beta2, has anyone else experienced this?
[Vibrant Android Development] bmw2k1:
Did anyone get their audio rerouting to work on the 3.5mm port?
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrantliker:
So we need the I9000 drivers. The T959 ones won't work I guess?

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

I'm on beta 1 also. How were you able to choose swype keyboard? I use smart keyboard and even though I designate it, it won't take.
[Vibrant Android Development] CM Wave:
A note about DPI: Changing the DPI from the default 240 breaks Market downloads somewhat. Some apps won't download, update, or appear at all without the default DPI. I prefer 208 and it's a pain in the ass having to go back to 240 just to download or update an app then reboot back to 208 every time.

More info here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19744
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
I have flashed 4-5 times with wipes using both Beta 1 and 2. No luck. I'll go the Odin route once I get home. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] nbhnohome:
1. In the recovery mode, FLASH VibrantKernel-B1-Update1.zip (must be this kernel)

2. Reboot into Recovery Mode

3. Wipe data/factory reset; Wipe cache partition; Format System (in Mount and Storage menu); Wipe Dalvik Cache.

4. Flash the ROM

5. Flash VibrantKernel-B1-Update1.zip kernel AGAIN.

6. Flash Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip to get ROOT access (i dont know if you still have to do it on Beta2 but Beta1 is a MUST)

7. Fix Permission (it's your choice)

8. Reboot and Wait.

9. Ice Cream your pants :p
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
Has anyone got adb to work? I can see my drive as an MTP device on the computer and transfer files. But I can't get adb to recognize the device.
[Vibrant Android Development] deeznutz1977:
The Devs Changed the density to 200 in the build prop
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
What's the difference between this an NB ICS?
[Vibrant Android Development] bmw2k1:
I guess no one is having audio problems?
[Vibrant Android Development] kkinger:
Which download is the best to use for beta 2? I9000 or I9000B?
[Vibrant Android Development] njuncos:
Depends on which phone you have...
[Vibrant Android Development] kkinger:
I have the vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] s44suman:
Has anyone successfully restored apps from titanium baxkip ???? When I restore it says successfully restored but there is no icon or anything and it doesn't install :(
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
I have a few questions for anyone who can help:

1.) Is it possible to remap the search key to the multitask menu key instead of the home button?

2.) How do you change the number of screens?

3.) When I download apps from the market I get this error saying the "package file was not signed correctly", any fixes?
[Vibrant Android Development] seojuhwan:
It doesn't matter. Just make sure to flash the vibrant kernel!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
If you're responding to me, I already flashed it, I followed the directions to the letter.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Make sure you install the latest Titanium Backup 4.64 from the market with ICS support. I have been restoring about 50 apps in batch and it work perfect and quicker then older versions.
[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
you could make the search key mapped to a second menu key, you cannot change the number of screens and you need to uninstall the application you are trying to update, music, maps ect via a root app then reboot the phone and reinstall those apps via the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
Okay so how do you remap the keys in the first place, and why can't you remove a keys given function and replace it with another one?
[Vibrant Android Development] deus_:
But my GPS was working fine with the latest MIUI :(.

Anyone else facing GPS issues? Any fixes?
[Vibrant Android Development] battlekry:
GPS seems to be hit or miss according to reports all through out this thread. This is a beta and a smooth one at that but still an early beta.

Try what others have tried- -if to no avail then reflash or wait.
[Vibrant Android Development] syl0n:
Web browsing is very slow. I am guessing no GPU acceleration yet? Its fine for mobile sites but desktop sites lag majorly.
[Vibrant Android Development] klkarlin:
Be sure you flashed the right ROM. I inadvertently flashed the i9000B rom - you want the i9000 only. My GPS did NOT work on the 9000B ROM, but it works perfectly on i9000 (as it did with the Alpha releases.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
Download fresh from market. Make sure to turn off hypershell and only install one at a time...that's what I did and it worked just fine
[Vibrant Android Development] deus_:
Pretty sure I'm flashing the i9000 one. I double checked ;)

What is surprising to me that people having the same model(and hence exact same hardware) report different result. Since this is a clean install for everyone, it should either work or not work. Guess not all Vibrant are made equal :)
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
I had tried all that except for the system format in step 3. To no avail.

I Odined to stock and followed the above procedure. Ended up in a boot loop in recovery. I had to Odin it back to stock again. And then install the CM7 MTD nightly build. And then follow the above procedure once again.

It finally works! I have an IMEI and mobile network from T-Mobile.

Thanks for your help! It kept me going.
[Vibrant Android Development] bmw2k1:
Anyone having wifi signal problem. I normally get full bars in my house with miui but with ics its reduced.
[Vibrant Android Development] TomJones30:
Try a different modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] pphi:
FFC works but its got the same issues that the CM7/MIUI kernels have where everything is stretched since its confused about orientation.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I had my first unsuccessful attempt at porting the extended power menu today, well, many unsuccessful attempts.

As always, we persevere in the face of adversity, now, back to the lab for more coding....

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Today I recieved two calls and I heard them perfectly,but both said I sounded like ****.Im on B1 9000 w matching vib kernel.Any one has experienced this
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Some are having this same problem you have, its the robotic voice problem that was in cm7. Just press mute and unmute when u answer your call and it should fix it.
[Vibrant Android Development] s44suman:
well i finally got ice-cream installed and everythings works like a charm

but

while trying to get a gps signal the gps icons comes and goes away so no gps :(

and while i click on storage i get a force close :(

beside that everything is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Yep, every incoming call. Toggle your mute button while in the call, and it will sound normal for the caller.

Edity - krazie1 already answered, sorry didn't see that.

I R NOOB
[Vibrant Android Development] zbt1985:
I have also had this problem. Just hit the mute button and unmute and it will be fine (just like the early builds of GB)

Can't change DPI with LCD Density on Beta2...

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Ok, how the hell do I edit build.prop?
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
change your screen density by editing the build.prop

oops

download ES file manager

open it, menu button settings scroll down enable root, mount as R/W

then select the little star shaped button select "phone" navigate to System click on build prop and edit using ES text editor

scroll down to screen density and set it to whatever you want stock being 240
[Vibrant Android Development] CM Wave:
Can't install ES File Manager (think you meant Explorer) because of the DPI setting.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

OK, got it changed with File Expert, thanks. Either fix compatibility with LCD Density or leave the density at 240 for the next release, please.

---------- Post added 1st December 2011 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 30th November 2011 at 11:51 PM ----------

Great, now at 240 the keyboard is oversized and I can't edit the build.prop file back, or type anything at all.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

And now I can't mount USB storage in Recovery. Great.
[Vibrant Android Development] CM Wave:
Alright, so I can't get MTP mounting to work, or mounting in recovery, or adb, and can't restore any of my backups because of some MD5 mismatch bull****. Going back to alpha7, even if it does randomly crash.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
For the guy who got an md5 mismatch, flash the rom that you used before you did your nandroid, THEN use your backup-- the md5 mismatch is because you're using a newer version of CWM

I read over 20 pages of comments, and saw multiple people that got stuck in a CWM bootloop, and I did too, after multiple odin to stock and such.. just had to ignore the directions and flash the ROM first after odin- flashing the kernel first broke something in the way it flashed cwm.

So once I FINALLY got ICS working.. no signal. Didn't lose baseband or imei, just wouldn't connect. It did say something about no carrier signal or something(gsm)

I have my finals today, but once done I'd like to get this working, so if SOMEONE can post the fix I'd appreciate it. I tried flashing a cm7 modem(that was recommended somewhere around page 10 I think), and each one would give errors about the build.prop not matching while in clockworkmod.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Has anyone been experiencing random reboots on Beta1? I have had quite a few reboots this morning, completely out of the blue.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
Use these modems:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19795466#post19795466

do not flash any others

I've been having really bad experiences with both beta 1 and beta 2.

FCs like a MF

no reboots though :mad: :confused: :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
I've had a couple, including one this morning.

How much free space do you have in /datadata ?

Very little I bet.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
My daily driver a d Bluetooth calling works flawlessly, but can not stream media through media enabled Bluetooth earpeice. Is it just me or is it the rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I had to go back to Froyo this morning, until I can figure out the cause. The reboots were driving me nuts, and I have to have my phone up and running for work. Its a shame, Beta1 has been my daily driver since it dropped, I kinda miss it already, which should work to motivate me to figure out the cause for the reboots I was experiencing.
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
I was about to mention that I've had a lot of FC's myself, but no random reboots... until about 30 seconds ago. it really wasn't doing anything either.

I found that most of my FC's were market related (changing LCD density to 240 didn't help much) -- stopping the market, then clearing data and cache seemed to help. Now the only FC's i've had since are android.process.media whenever i connect the usb (for charging).
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
You guys are not using the fugu kernel right?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I'm also seeing very minimal issues with beta2. Clean install with only restore of apps not data. Changed dpi to 240 and updated titanium backup as well as others.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The vibrant beta1 kernel here.
[Vibrant Android Development] swehes:
I had lots of FCs as well on Beta 1 so went back to Neobuddy's Passion ICS and haven't had any issues since.
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
nope, vibrant kernel here, too. i also reflashed, got caught in the CWM loop, odined to stock (man i hate that old samsung interface), reflashed CM7, flashed ICS, CWM bootlooped again, downloaded fresh beta2, reflashed everything, and finally loaded ICS.

some apps seem to have trouble (even at 240 dpi) and i can't restore some of the larger apps i have, but it's running pretty smooth for the most part.
[Vibrant Android Development] betam4x:
I have major issues with Bluetooth disconnecting/reconnecting on my Honda civic. People also say i sound like garbage while on Bluetooth (muting/unmuting doesn't help). I don't have random reboots, but i do have cases where, if the phone is sleeping for a long period of time, every app i try to open force closes when i wake up the phone. This happens until the phone has been awake for a minute or so. Battery life also sucks. 36 minutes of screen time, 32 minutes of calls, 39% left after 9 hours. According to stats, android os hogged 15% of battery, voice calls 23%, screen 24%. CM7 was MUCH better at battery.

The ROM is awesome, though. I hope there are more updates.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Does anyone know how to reinstall CM7 from this ROM? the update file thinks that i'm not on a vibrant, so it won't let me update.
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
try flashing a cm7/miui kernel first. i used glitch when bouncing back and forth.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
I started having the same problem with Beta1. I'm honestly not sure, but I think I did not have the problem at first, rather it developed over time.

At home I was noticing that I could see my WPA2 protected WiFi, but the signal was VERY weak (like 1-2 bars) when the phone was right next to the relatively new 802.11a/b/g/n Netgear WiFi router running DD-WRT with tx power at 125mw (default is 28mw). Whenever I attempted to connect to it, it failed to get a DHCP IP lease and eventually timed out and quit trying to connect.

I noticed some of my neighbor's WPA/WPA2 Mixed-Mode WiFi SSIDs were showing as stronger signal than mine... Out of curiosity, I tried setting my router to use WPA/WPA2 Mixed-Mode as well. Doing so did increase the apparent signal strength, but the phone still failed to connect. I did notice that the signal strength took a nose-dive to 1-2 bars when the phone was trying to negotiate the connection before timing out. When it did time out, the signal strength bounced back up to 3-4 bars. Weird.

I tried removing the encryption entirely, but that didn't help either. Same results as with WPA/WPA2 Mixed-Mode.

I installed Beta2 during my lunch break and am now able to connect to the WPA2 protected WiFi here at work, though the signal is still a bit weaker than it was on CM7 nightly builds, it is working.

Interestingly, the Status Bar shows the WiFi signal registering only 1 bar while Settings shows 2 bars.

[Vibrant Android Development] nbhnohome:
I think for our Vibrant BUILD 1 is better than BUILD 2

On Build 1, my Vibrant can connect to my PC with no problem while there is no way I can connect to my Comp on Build 2.

Build 2 seems to scale up the resolution (1280x720???)->some softwares from market show incompatible to the device but it was fine in Build 1. Icons look so small and doesnt look quite nice on our screen (but that is just me)....

Build 2 -> i got random reboot for some reasons but not in Build 1

But Browser in Build 2 seems to be better than Build 1. In Build 1, it is more prone to close itself while entering web addresses.And Build 2 is rooted right out of the box )

I'm NOT complaining, it is just a couple of issues i want to point out so we can get a better build. Thanks DEV.... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Ya'll that are having WIFI issues have you tried un plugin your modem and router then reconnect them, I have issues like this sometimes I'm on a 2.2 rom now but looking into these ICS builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] betam4x:
I don't mind the higher DPI, but i'm having serious bluetooth issues. Does anyone know if 911 works with this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] TLX317:
I just got over 20 hours of battery on beta1.. mmmmm.... :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Azimuth0r:
My experience with beta 1 and beta 2 has been great. I'm not having any of the lockup/reboot, bluetooth or wifi issues others have reported. I wonder if restoring system apps and settings in titanium backup is introducing the issues you guys are facing? I only ever restore 3rd party apps and data.

( still no gps on mine.)
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
That was indeed the very first thing I tried. It's so basic and rudimentary that I didn't think it was worth mentioning.

My WiFi has been working fine on Beta2.

I also restored only 3rd part apps and data via Titanium Backup.

I did not restore any system settings.

The only change I made to resolve my WiFi issue was upgrading from Beta1 to Beta2.

Both the PC connection & resolution issues have been discussed and resolved earlier in this thread.

Other users have had random reboots on Beta1 and not Beta2 (including myself). YMMV.

Next time try searching or reading the entire thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
same here. my experience with beta 1 has just gotten better and better. been on for about a week and it has all the functionality i need. last night i even wifi tethered to my ps3 to watch some netflix and it worked like a champ. haven't messed with beta 2 at all...from what i read, too many issues it seems.
[Vibrant Android Development] msnuser111:
Bluetooth is a known issue,and it has been since we switched to source from sdk build. I have no idea if it will be fixed or not. 911 should be working but I have not tested it. Normal calls work so 911 should not be any different.

For people that don't like the dpi change,go into your build.prop and change it,the setting right now it at 200,the default is 240.
[Vibrant Android Development] InsightGoalie:
I just installed beta2 and I'm not getting any cell signal. I noticed I have no APN either. I tried to manually set up the APN (like I normally do anyway, to get my VPN working) and when I saved it, it disappeared. Any ideas?

edit: NVM, due to some CFM, immediately after I posted this it started working. The normal APN and my modified APN popped into settings to, weird.
[Vibrant Android Development] msnuser111:
it takes awhile for the network to connect sometimes.
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
I haven't had any time to hunt down and find problems, but I think for me, this is probably too unstable to be a daily driver. This week end, I'll try to see if I can find some solutions. If not, I'll switch to CM7. ICS looks very good though and I'll be following this thread closely to try it out again.

Problems that I have are

1. GPS doesn't work at all. Seems to be a problem with some folks. But don't think I saw a solution.

2. Battery drains very very quickly. Within 3-4 hours on mostly standby it's gone down to 10% or so. I have noticed that the menu/home/back and search buttons light up when pressed and immediately turn off when I'm using the phone which has always annoyed me off since the day I bought the Vibrant. But when it sleeps, after a while, the lights turn on and never go off. I'm sure it drains the battery, but I doubt that this would cause such a rapid drain. Also, I noticed that the battery charges very quickly as well. I think this may well be some battery calibration problem.

3. People on the other end of a call tell me that the call quality is terrible. I have seen some other folks having this problem. Doesn't seem to be a solution on this thread.

4. Some apps can't be installed from the market because they show up as unsupported. I have my apps backed up with Titanium Pro so I'm okay with that.

5. A lot of apps just force close. eg. the Google TTS app during navigation.

6. Can't get adb to work. I downloaded the latest SDK profile. But didn't help. Samba Server does not work either.

As someone else pointed out, I'm amazed and delighted how quickly we got an ICS port and I'm sure I'll be back on this ROM very soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidfreak:
I had similar issues on both Beta 1 and 2. I would be cruising along just fine and then Google TTS would FC or gapps or other standard things would start causing a ton of issues. Ultimately I wiped and reflashed. I also discovered that many apps wouldn't be available in the market. Like you I have TB pro so reinstalling them wasn't an issue. What I recently discovered from my experience though is that restoring my user apps, not the system ones of course, seemed to be my cause of issues. When I only installed apps from the market that it would allow me to, all my fc issues went away. along with the odd signal issue I had. I wrote the whole experience up over e here if you care to read it at all, - http://androidspin.com/2011/12/02/having-issues-with-your-ics-rom-let-me-make-a-suggestion/

I thought I would also add this in from harpocrates23, he made a comment on my post taht seemed to be relavant and needed sharing
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Would like to add that the ****ty call quality issue is not present when using BlueTooth. Do not have to mute/unmute or anything like that, for calling and receiving.
[Vibrant Android Development] InsightGoalie:
Has anyone been able to sync the browser? Mine has an sync error sign next to it and at the bottom of the account it says, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." However, everything else has synced fine. Bookmark syncing with Chrome is one of the features I was most looking forward to.

It just tripped me out when I saved the APN I put in and it didn't show up in the list. That seemed like a bug to me...
[Vibrant Android Development] terencec:
