[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Yeah, and I completely agree, I dun think devs should release a million different ROMs with the same bugs. So, on that end, I agree with you. I'd rather have a million updates of one ROM than have a million half-ass working ROMs. But, I don't think we should leave it to only 2.2.1 ROMs, some are working on 2.2.1, others on 2.3, and others on 4.0.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
I can agree with that, I think we need to find a way to get the devs to collaborate on all the levels so that we can get some sweet custom roms flowing through the forums.... and I think I have an idea.... : )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Completely disagree with you there. "Others are fun they will always be laggy."

I honestly don't know if you've ever tried any GB or ICS rom.

NONE of them are "laggy" sure they have their moments when you're running 50 apps and they lag, no ****, so does Froyo. Do you realize that a ICS rom (passion) has gotten GPS to work for nearly everyone? Froyo roms aren't even CLOSE to that. No one thats tech-savvy wants to stay on Froyo, froyo is last years OS, we all want ICS and thats what the devs like. They like challenges, and we like the outcome.

What I'M trying to say is.. why stay on a old-os when we have a new one thats available and we've already accomplished so much on it in such a short time (ex. GPS)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
Well I have used them all my friend, and they are laggy no much how we deny it. So lets build this Tom house!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I suspect your phone has **** inside it.

Please open the cover and remove the battery and check for any signs of ****.

You must be in the denial stage of the whole thing.

ICS has absolute no lag when doing normal things and when it does lag, its because well.. this ics wasn't built from a vibrant source like froyo is.

Ask anyone.

You certainly have not tried ics passion.

If you did, make sure there's no **** in your phone.

Everyone who tried ics says its fast, and if they do leave its because of 911 issue or the phone mute unmute issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beren28:
Ics has less lag than any froyo rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
Well I guess well agree to disagree. There is no need to come up with some smart allic response with no real reasoning behind it just because you have a mouth. I'm just saying with this phone ics yes even ics passion lags, maybe not on the galaxy s 2, but with the vibrant it does. Maybe your right, that it wont lag when we get a vibrant build of ics. But for now, those are the facts. Thank you for your contribution though. : )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beren28:
Passion lags.

Onecosmic's has zero lag.

You are simply wrong. Very very wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
Reflash for no lag guys. If so many people say it's smooth, and you say it's laggy, then REFLASH!

its a different experience for everyone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I have been following this thread but have only been able to read b/c I have been pretty sick the past few days. Some things that strike me funny is that we do have nearly perfect running 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs now (if you take out the GPS issue). the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.1 was nominal. More like a security patch update and shouldn't really be a focal point for a break in Froyo ROMs. What more really do we need to make these better.

With that being said, there are drastic differences between 2.2 > 2.3.x and 2.3.x > 4.0. Complete UI overhauls, major changes in the way Android works under the hood so to say and the entire Linux code has been revamped and built upon. Think of it as an exponent. The curve is slight in the beginning and as you move to the right the grade gets steeper and steeper. That is how the Linux kernel has evolved since 1.5 > 4.0

Second, we got an "official" Froyo release from Samsung that was able to be decompiled and reverse engineered to help the Devs create their custom Froyo ROMs. Since we did not get a GB release that was not possible, so many of the ROMs were essentially built from scratch using pieces from other Samsung devices and mashing them together to build a hopefully working code.

**Here is an example. I came from a Motorola XT720 which when it came out was the flagship of M's devices. Then the Droid X came out and all support was dropped for the XT (sound familiar). When I mean all support, I really do. They were not and never did upgrade us from 2.1 to 2.2 at all plus they did not and still to this day won't unlock the bootloader (at least Sammy did that though). So we took parts, libs, mods, codes,... from the original Milestone, the defy and the Korean XT701 and mashed them all together and made our own fully functioning 2.2 ROM.

I say all this because since we did not get a GB or ICS update, we did not get the proprietary files needed for the Vibrant. We can do ports from I9000 but they will never be the same as if the Vibrant received it straight from the teet. We need the codes and files directly from Samsung if we want a truly fully functional GB or ICS build. We will come extremely close as two already have, but case in point is the 911 issue. It won't work b/c we need Sammy to deliver the goods. As much as it pisses me off, there is one CM team member who has a quote in his signature that says (and I a paraphrasing here) "XDA has cooks who grill, fry and something else ROMs, but none of them develop ROMs". It is true, but not because we don't have the talent, but because we don't have to tools to do the job. If Samsung would deliver the drivers, files and libs, then can you imagine the custom ROMs we could put out?

You say you want a perfected 2.2 build. I say we pretty much have one. In fact many of them. Until Samsung gives up the goodies, if you want an almost perfect ROM, go with a 2.2 (any 2.2). We'll get there on the 2.3.x and 4.0's but will just take some time.

Side note: Lag is almost always contributed to either a bad flash or bad memory management.

Sorry for the long post but like I said in the beginning, I've been sick for a few days.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
Thanks for the insight and I completely respect your response. If fact I understand your point, soil the release of ics that we should get for our device soon should help the devs get a pretty close to perfect a ics rom right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
Also do you know which files we exactly need?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
We need the source build code directly from Samsung. You know what AOSP is? Similar to that, but the source is from manufacturer and not developer.

We need drivers for t959 device and that should fix 911, as well as many other issues. I'm not a developer. I can do the work but only so far. Know what I mean.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Severian37:
Wrong.

I've had ICS Passion in real-life use, not just showing off screen shots to my geeky friends on the net. It reboots when it feels like it, usually while using Gallery, sometimes just because I pressed the screen too fast. Groove IP is terribly buggy on it. Switching bluetooth on and off is highly problematic. The GPS is better than it was, but that's about it. Who cares if it's the latest ROM if it's unusable? Don't get me wrong, I do like ICS, but I can't use this for a reliable communications platform. I'm going back to Froyo, where everything just worked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
No He's right. Passion has been on my phone for about a month now. It is faster, smoother than any 2.2, 2.3 rom I tried and I tried most. No lag, no FC. GPS and wireless are fine. Bluetooth connects perfect with both headset and speakers. The only issue is the mute/unmute bug, which I can live with until it's fixed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Severian37:
My experience did not reflect that at all, and I did a clean install. Since wiping and installing v10, it's been better in almost all respects, except for a reboot when receiving a call yesterday.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
This simple line of text, reflects exactly why it is that there could never be "a perfect rom." The OPs (supposedly) deviates from the majority of experiences. No matter how perfect of a rom you are running, there will always be those out there who have issues, simply because not all hardware is created equally. OP, let me ask you this: Say some day they make an amazing rom that solves all the problems for 99.99% of users who flash it, and you fall into the tiny group of people whose phone still has issues....would you say that the rom is perfect? -- No, of course you wouldn't, because you are experiencing problems...but those 99.99%? To them, its perfect. See, perfection means having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics....the point is, you will never reach a level where everyone is satisfied, and everyone's hardware is one the same page. I recall people complaining over the official stock, and that was official...unlike the reverse engineered roms we have on this site that run often times, ten times better than stock. I've used most roms, I won't say all (and I highly doubt you when you say that you have used them ALL), but many many froyo, GB, ICS roms....and GB and ICS smoothness is on another level generally speaking, than even the best froyo roms. For a majority of users, in fact, for nearly every user. I am sorry that you find yourself with the few that do not reap the benefits of the genius Devs here, but plainly stated, you need to blame your hardware, not the software. You will likely never experience "perfection" on your phone, if it lags on "ALL" ics roms and GB roms are also unsatisfactory....it just means that you are unlucky enough to have bad hardware, and distinctness of hardware, is the reasons perfection is not obtainable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Severian37:
Chances are that my configuration is not typical. I have Groove IP running all the time, since I'm using Google Voice number.

Since installing neobuddy's 10.6, it's been a much smoother experience. The phone hasn't spontaneously rebooted at all. The GPS still requires reboots after deep sleep, but from what I've read, that's happening to all users.

Prior to today, I was using Nelson's kernel. This morning I flashed Eugene's 3.0.15-ICUP Kernel just for experimentation.

10.6 is good enough that I would prefer it to the older Froyo ROMs, and that's saying a lot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkcbbusiness:
New Topic

I think its time to change the theme of this post, as the original question has been answered.

New Topic-What do we need from Samsung to create the closest to perfect rom for this phone?

PM me if you want Samsung to give us what we need, so we can show them that its wanted.

Also you can hit my thanks button just because : )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
No offense but this has been enumerated a number of times, and we have tried showing them through developer reps like Samsung_John , fact of the matter is that support for the vibrant seems to have been dropped, we havent so much as seen a leak of gingerbread while all other SGS devices are receiving updates to gingerbread.

Unless you have some inside connection there really isnt much of a point, but to humor you, we need at the very least source code for all hardware drivers most notably gps, as well as the source code for the RIL (radio interface layer).

Bought a touchpad yesterday. Did all the tweats for WebOS. Then installed CM7. Now i have duel boots. After some reading, I have seen some of the guys here uninstall CM7(Android) out. What are the risks to have with duel boots (slow down tablet, drain more battery....)? Can some one explain?

Thanks

There are none unless you don't like having more options.

Honestly people go back to webos that never used android before. I've used android for years and enjoy the games on my tab.

Cyboot in preware on webos can choose your default boot choice you want as well. One less worry then.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] setite:
Anyone have a higher battery temp? I can't get my phone to run less than the low 30s, celsius. I have a friend whose GN runs in the low 20s. Granted I live in Las Vegas and he lives in New York, but it's winter and I'm in an air conditioned comptuer room.

I put the phone in the air conditioner to get it down to 14C and it was up to 22c in a minute. Hopefully I can get it to stay there but i'm not hopeful. Granted an hour prior to having 33c I was tethering which usually puts me at 38-40C. But it doesn't seem to ever drop below mid to low 30s after tethering or anything intensive. I'm not used to my phones being warm to the touch when I'm not tethering. Also I'm using ARHD with a stock kernel(at least I'm assuming because IIRC ARHD doesn't use a non-stock ROM). Maybe I should get an UV kernel? Any suggestions.

You're good. Occasionally mine dips into high 20's, but idle is around 30* and charging is 32-33 for me on a 1amp charger.

Using the unverisal rootkit, I was unable to restore or install new roms onto the device. But using the vanilla nvflash for the tf, and by extracting the files inside of the prime 2.1 download to the root of the nvflash folder, I was able to get prime installed:)

Hey Guys,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xploited made a really cool boot logo / splash screen / w/e it's called. (You flash it with fastboot.) Read quote or original post here.

Using that I created a boot animation from it. The Motorola logo on it is green. And the text kinda flashes, like the windows 7 status bar...

It can be fixed, made better, more effects, so yea I will be updating this over time as my Photoshop/Gimp skills get better.

Take notice that the actual boot animation is much better than the gif below...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jread:
I was in the same boat as you. I had never rooted a device, and I was worried about what rooting entailed in relation to my warranty.

However, I decided to take the plunge anyway. I rooted my NT three days ago, following Indirect's method, and I can say that I am VERY happy with my decision.

Here are some reasons for my joy:

--->I can still access the B&N store, content, and in-store reading abilities (I just tested this tonight).

--->I can load whatever I want onto my device because I have access to root privileges and numerous app stores (Android Market, Amazon, B&N (although who would ever use this horrid marketplace)

--->I have a Swype keyboard on my tablet! (I use this on my phone and I absolutely love it on my NT)

What about the warranty you ask? With the availability of easy unrooting procedures and no instances of bricking a NT, I have confidence that I can always unroot my device if I find the need to use my warranty. Although, the only bad situation that I can imagine is if I somehow damage the device to the point where I cannot boot it up to undo the root (like if I dropped it in a lake or bathtub). Despite those worst case scenarios, I am totally willing to take the risk.

Someone has mentioned elsewhere that the NT is cheaper than other comparable tablets because B&N is counting on controlling the content and user experience to make a profit. By getting around their control by rooting, we (the consumer) are able to have a high quality tablet and the freedom that B&N was counting on restricting for their benefit.

Having said all of this, if you are unable/unwilling/too concerned to root your NT, then return the bad boy.
