Which 2.3 rom around here is the best with dependable GPS and theme?

Hey Fish,

It looks official we will be getting GB 2.3 for the samsung Vibrant maybe in 6 months.

"In addition, we'll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7", GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others."

Which 2.3 rom around here is the best with dependable GPS and theme?

Is that some sort of teasing empty promise again.........

If u read the whole article it sounds more like updates for non-US devices...
[Vibrant Android Development] Redmartianducky:
Fish, how old are you wanting? I have 2.2.9 available without digging out old backups.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Anything before the CM blue stuff was added... when it was the green theme. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Ryandroid86:
Quick question. I tried flashing this Rom.... But while doing so I came across something that's never happened to me yet. I was previously running passion v13 (4. 0) but restored my previous biffmod v1.3.1 for a faster rom. Then I flashed this rom and cwm stated it was aborted due to wrong type of script that doesn't work with cwm3.0 or greater.... Something like that. Solutions? (Not too familiar with scripts yet)
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
The short answer... If you are running a GB or ICS rom... you HAVE to Odin back to stock first. Most GB and all ICS roms change the partitioning from RFS or Ext4 to MTD. Best and easiest way to get back to the correct partitioning is to Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ryandroid86:
Well thank you. I figured I would have to. But hoping for a different solution. After running ics.... I think I enjoy 2.0 roms more.

AOSP Theme

A possible AOSP Froyo theme... would anyone be interested.
[Vibrant Android Development] mrlee10:
i like! :D

Looks great although I personally wouldn't use it.

[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
Fish,

I know your busy with Axura, but whenever you get a chance can you post a generic revert that works on any theme?

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Here ya go... should bring any theme back to stock Bionix-FishmanMod

http://www.mediafire.com/?70ayedfue0ibds6

I can't test ATM... just flash thru Recovery, it will do the rest
[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
Your a gentlemen and a scholar...thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
not all of them work for the froyo, but that was was just incredible.

I have no problems with it for the most part, but there are some apps that seem to load ads yet. There was a no ad script that works great with no drain and minimal foot print. It was part of a script thread - not all of them work for the froyo, but that was was just incredible.

Just what the doctor ordered!

Maybe you may consider releasing your next build with this script installed to give a leg up to your users so that they dont have to deal with the headache.
[Vibrant Android Development] sirganon:
Is this hosts file different than the adfree app? I noticed in the hosts file it has a link to an xda thread and towards the end of the thread they are talking about that app. do they work together or is the app fine without this file/better with this file?
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
one or the other but not both
[Vibrant Android Development] bgtvfr:
is there a way (app, build prop tweak, other) to increase or decrease vibrate for menu home back key ect besides going into settings
[Vibrant Android Development] sirganon:
Would you recommend this hosts file over that app?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
If I were you, I'd check AdAway instead.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ryandroid86:
I would be interested for sure. Sounds like no one else is...
[Vibrant Android Development] nomadrider123:
Thought I would give this a whirl so for it looks real good thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Thanks You
[Vibrant Android Development] CravenSouls:
I would love this. I like the white notification bar. Looks old school.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
I was referred to this ROM for a dedicated project of mine I am doing with my old Vibrant. Looking to turn it into a dedicated Hiking, Geo Caching, Compass device etc. Its been a very long time since I've been on Froyo as Im usually an early adopter, however I need something fast and stable that has all the sensors working.

Flashed AOKP 2 days ago and everything seemed to work perfectly, but then decided to try another kernel and for what ever reason it killed my Magnetometer. When I started all over for some odd reason the compass app still did not work even though the flash was identical to before.

So deciding to go back to stock today to start fresh. Since back on Froyo partitions I decided to try out FishmanMOD since I was told it was the best of the best Froyo ROMs at this time. And I must agree, seems like its every bit as fast as any GB or ICS. But the question is will my mapping apps work flawlessly as well?

Anyway, is there any apps in the drawer that is a must have? Since this device is now a dedicated GPS device, can I uninstall everything that came with the rom without any ill effects?

Thanks Fishman for a nice ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
There are a few things that are not NEEDED... I could PM you a ver that's slimmed down of all the UN-needed stuff. Let me know

GPS for me has been spot on... lock in just a few sec and locking with 8 or more sats in about 10 sec
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah that would be perfect for me. As bare bones as possible. I will have a few games with me as well but for stuff like music I will use a tiny mp3 player instead. I assume google maps and market will be a must as well. But for stuff like voodoo color or sound etc will not be needed. Also how can I remove all the cell phone stuff? This phone hasn't had a sim card in almost a year so it would seem to me I could save some space and some cpu and memory hog processes removing it all if possible.

Thanks again fishman.

EDIT: Never mind fishman, I just discovered a super serious flaw with Bionix which ruins it for me. I can't enable Bluetooth without enabling the cell radio which will drastically reduce the battery life. I am using a 66 channel Bluetooth GPS receiver that is much more accurate and stable than the internal GPS chip on this phone, but having the cell radio on defeats the battery savings purpose and will cut the useage in half.

Darn it I thought my search for the perfect rom for this was over.... crap lol.

Oh well I will keep trying...
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
NP... sorry

Does this have FFC support? If not, how do I get a camera.apk that supports a FFC?

also: how the heck do you take screen shots on the vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] crysto25:
dude i will punch your phone silly, HAHAHA. heres what happen.

i tried private stock v3, got stuck on boot. unless i odin and check re -repartition to make it work. and i didnt wanna do the hassle so i tried flashing the rom again just to make sure. didnt work. and i thought i would go back to this rc2 final. and now u just released with lock screens and good stuff.. u notice how smooth the drop down menu on this compare to blue franky? thats what made me flash this again. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] WillShaka:
wow cool things just get better and better I'm coming back from blue frankstein also. I always love more lockscreens :D thanks fish

Update for Bionix-1.3.1

Hello Fishman,

I am using Bionix-1.3.1 for a while i like your work and i used the v2 rom of your remelted bionix... i really want to try v3. as there is many settled things in my bionix rom right now so is there anything you made to just update on Bionix-1.3.1 without changing anything on this rom?

again thanks for a nice rom...
[Vibrant Android Development] pbcal:
I also want to know about the FFC support.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Fishman, quick update. Not sure what's going on but my internal GPS only can see 2 sats, none in use lol. And the magnetometer sensor isn't working at all either. The compass apps keep pointing in the wrong direction even on Bionix, so I don't know what to do.

The weird thing is that last Friday I flashed from CM7 to AOKP b28 and the compass worked great until I flashed the Glitch kernel. Since flashing Glitch the sensor no longer works properly, even on stock JFD. I flashed back to ICS last night from this rom and the sensor is still wrong. So either the Earth's magnetic field is going haywire or Glitch has destroyed my sensor somehow. Which is hard to believe.

So I'm going to ditch the idea of using this device for compass direction and stick to my real compass. If flashing JFD doesn't fix it nothing will. LOL

Oh and my external GPS receiver is working great under 2 feet accuracy which is perfect.

Thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Yeah, Odin back to stock and make sure you check "Re-partition"
[Vibrant Android Development] WillShaka:

Help pls... ideas? (as we speak, I'm reflashing Final 3 again to get phone back to normal usable state)
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Vibrant HD v1.7 won't work with Bionix-V FishmanMod Final 3 but will work with Final 2.

Some of the Jar files and Framework were changed for the 9 lockscreen update... when you flash Vibrant HD v1.7, it installs the old framework... the new Jar's and old framework don't play well together.

[Vibrant Android Development] WiteFlash:
This sometimes happens to me, too, but I don't think it's a ROM problem. I just happen to get crappy data (Edge) in my house. When I'm in a 3g area, the mms send/receive fine. Is your mms app set to "download automatically"?

I also noticed that Juice Defender sometimes hinders the sending/receiving of mms. Or others have said sometimes they have to disable their wifi. As long as I'm in a 3g area, though, it works for me almost all the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] nomadrider123:
Thank you for the reply. I too think its my area... Yes it is set to download automically. I have played with the wifi with no luck.

I'm having problems with this Rom, it freezes and locks up at times, it lag compared to the original bionix 1.3.1.

Still having the problem I might just Odin back to stock and try again. Please don't get me wrong I love the Rom I'm just having issues with it now. I kind of feel bad posting this because everyone has had no problems with it. Well if anyone has any input let me know.

Actually i have started haveing the same problem. Been running it since it first came out, never had any problems until about 3 weeks ago.
