The light sensor is working fine according to Z-DeviceTest but the brightness levels do not increase or decrease based on the light. Could this be a ROM specific issue? I tried changing kernels but the problem has stayed. It works perfectly fine on CM7.

And SystemUI is identical to RC4.1, so the battery mods should all work just fine. Framework differences were pretty small, and not likely to break anything cosmetically.

The question is, WHAT of those two to choose? ICS Passion 13 RC1 or this one??? Please, tell me why you made your decision.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Personally, I'm more of an AOSP kinda guy. RC4.1 was a bit snappier for me. Since I don't need GPS, I'm usually on Onecosmic. Don't forget CM9 or Doc's Master. CM9 was quite good while I was on it, and Doc's looks good, too.

Usually, I'm on whatever I'm building mods for, though.

From the Change Log:

RC4.2

New fixed framework = wifi fix included(without blur issues)

New script to specifically set EFS permissions(hopefully fix people losing IMEI's)

Reverted back to the ICS quick search

News & Weather widget is back!

Updated modem to KB5

It's basically the same. Just minor improvements/fixes. Plus, all RC4.1 mods work the same.

Annoying little caveat I'm having: In the News and Weather app, opening the "I" symbol (to go into weather detail) causes the app to crash. Used to work back in earlier releases before RC3.

[Vibrant Android Development] Danstek:
I flashed rc4.2 from stock JFD w/out GB bootloaders and it works just fine. Usually it bootloops here because of CWM version mismatch so you'll have to flash twice. I've also tried flashing rc4.2 from cm7 and that works perfectly on first go. Just remember the first boot up takes a long time, give it like 15mins on the nexus boot animation before assuming it's a boot loop. Had that happen to me a few times, thought it was boot loop but it wasn't.

No, I know the first boot takes a little while but this is different. I get the "Vibrant" screen, flash to black then "Vibrant" screen a second time, then I get the Android like I was in CWM (and I think there's a red triangle "!" over him too but it flashed really quick), some messages scroll really fast then it cycles again, and again and again until I do a battery pull/3-button combo to get back to CWM 5.5.0.2. I've tried flashing a second time from there but it still does the same thing. As stated earlier, I can load 4.1 after getting back into CWM and it fires right up.

I'll have to try putting a CM7 nandroid back on as I think I have one I saved and then flash 4.2 from there.

I've flashed a lot of ROMs and this is the first really consistent issue I've had. I've had a boot loop before (not like this one) and I just did a battery pull and it rebooted either fine or back to CWM and then I just hit reboot and it came up the second time.

Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ddanc1984:
Tried the suggestion of going back to CM7. Used these steps

Full wipe.

Format /system.

Flash Bali CM7 kernel.

Reboot to load kernel then battery pull.

Boot to CWM using 3-button combo...version was now something earlier, yellow text which I think is Bali's thing.

Flashed Nightly 179 (which was the one I had).

Reboot to CM7. Let it sit for a bit.

Reboot to recovery.

Wipe and run cleaner script.

Flash IcyGlitch kernel.

Reboot to load kernel then battery pull.

Reboot to recovery using 3-button combo.

CWM is now again Glitch Red

Flash 4.2

Boot loop

Battery pull and 3 button combo back to blue CWM

Reflash 4.2 again

Reboot

Bootloop

Battery pull

Wipe and reloaded nandroid of 4.1 with Passion9/GPS kernel files

I wish I could catch what's going on when the Android and messages flash during the boot loop.

GPS 4.2

Not a complaint as it's been addressed before as something that will be looked at eventually, and I can always revert to a working nandroid of 4.1/Passion-GPS but as a point of reference GPS doesn't work for me in 4.2 and does not work even with the Passion9/GPS files. The GPS indicator never even flashes on the status bar. It flashed on stock 4.2 then goes away ne'er to return.

With that said many thanks to all the devs who keep putting in time and hard work to keep the Vibrant...well...."vibrant".

Will probably go back to 4.2 stock unless I need GPS for some reason. I found that setting it for 1200/+104 in NSTools was pretty snappy and for the short time I had it there it didn't lock/reboot on me.

I came across a post in Doc Masters by yorlli, linking to the CyanogenMod CM9 discussion thread. I was looking for a solution to the sd card bug in the current Doc Masters. This didn't fix that, but I have a hunch it fixed something else. It's a script to place in init.d that will mount emmc as /sdcard/external_sd. You'll see both. Call me strange, but it just feels comforting having it in the right place. Someone here might like it too. Notice the filepath in the screenshot below. No ill effects whatsoever in having both emmc and external_sd. Thanks to maxniper!

RC4.1 to RC4.2 upgrade.....

Hi,

I am on RC4.1 and I want to upgrade to RC4.2. I have CWM but it doesn’t display the ICSSGS RC 4.2. if I download RC4.2 and install using CMW, do I need to reconfigure everything, reinstall the apps and restore the backup?

Or RC4.2 will take care of it?
[Vibrant Android Development] gunks:
All you have to do is put the .zip in the right folder, the main/root folder of storage. You can just install/flash the 4.2 .zip right over 4.1 without having to re install everything. Some people like to do a wipe every time but from 4.1 to 4.2 its a bit unnecessary.

Lock screen bug

I have noticed what could be a bug on the lock screen.

1. lock the phone.

2. press the power button.

3. Before unlocking the screen, open the status notification bar.

4. open what you want without unlocking.

Doesn't seem to happen with pattern/pin lock screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] TLX317:
I noticed that too, but considering it doesn't happen when it's got any security enabled, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to behave like that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
It's not a bug it's a feature.
[Vibrant Android Development] ddanc1984:
I would agree since the purpose of the lockscreen without security is to prevent you from inadvertently opening apps, "butt-dialing" etc, not security so the ability to open the status bar to read an email or whatever to me would be fine so long as it doesn't allow it when there is a security feature turned on such as password or pattern.

Weak mobile signal

In ginger bread and froyo, I used to only get 2 signal bars. I would go to the phone settings and there were the choices "Auto, GSM, CDMA". It would be on auto by default and when I set it to GSM, I would get full signal in the same location. I tried a few versions of ICS but I can't find that option anywhere.

Does the option exist on ICS? if so where? Otherwise, Is there any other way to fix the signal on ICS?

Thanks in advance :)
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
By setting it to gsm only, and not using wcdma, you are strictly using just 2g. In mobile networks in settings, you can check the use 2g networks only option.

Duplicate Songs

This may have been addressed already but I have like 5 copies of the same song showing up in the Music app yet if I go to file manager there's only actually one. Is there a way to clear and start over? I tried clearing wiping data for the Music app in TB but that did nothing.

Thanks for the info. No I haven't checked the entire thread yet but I will.
[Vibrant Android Development] MurdockBaracus:
I have the same issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I think the fix for that is to wipe cache and maybe data in the music app, then unmount your external sd card if that is where your music is stored. Then reboot and let the media scanner rescan everything. Maybe someone else will chime in who knows more, but that's what I'd try.
[Vibrant Android Development] ddanc1984:

Wiping didn't do anything. I powered down, pulled the MicroSD. Fired the phone back up, hit the music app and let it try searching for music for a few minutes. Then powered down again and put the microSD back in, powered up and then actually tried WinAmp (which was showing 5x duplicates also earlier). After letting WinAmp search, it looks like all the dupes are gone.

Delete the data from the media service and reboot. If gallery gives you hiccups as well sometimes you have to delete the data from "gallery".

I find it ironic I had to switch back to my vibrant from my sensation for a functional aosp ics rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] n3td3v:
This ROM is simply the best ICS vibrant ROM that I have used to date. Have never experienced the mute/unmute bug, lock ups, random reboots, etc. with this one like I experienced randomly and untimely with Passion. And that's the reason I am still stuck on this ROM.

I'm getting anywhere from 15 - 24+ hours on a single charge with quite a bit of use, depending on how heavy my usage is. I typically run my phone on a single charge from approximately 6-630am up to as late as 300am; I ran this length of time both friday and yesterday with about 15% left on my charge. I run three exchange and two g-mail account on full sync at all times and am constantly here on xda.

The only time I experience the previously mentioned wake lock issue is when I set Screen Lock (under Personal/Security) to 'None'. The issue is not a consistent one; however, it only appears to be rather random although more often than not. Turning back on some type of Screen Lock fixes this issue for me.

And of course, as previous members have stated, there is the annoyance of media files being replicated within music players 4, 5, & even 6 times. Those replications do not play of themselves as they are phantom files but they make playing your media library truly a pain when you have to skip through several silent copies just to hear even a single song. As someone else suggested, using PowerAmp solves this audio file duplication problem for me.

All of that to reiterate that this work of art is the best that I have used to date. I think I'm stuck here unless something more flawless comes to light.

Excellent work dev/s! Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] MurdockBaracus:
How are you getting that kind of battery life?!?!
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
I'm getting 13-15 hours on 3g, and 24+ on Edge. Look at the "signal" gauge when you look at the battery info. My area here is always yellow/intermittent, which I know is a major part of the drain. I've heard area's with good signal (not just good coverage) have phenomenally better battery life across the board.

I have had the mute/unmute bug once or twice, but I've noticed it reverts to 3g when I usually leave it on 2g/edge. I think something in the radio crashes/closes/restarts and that is when the symptom occurs.
[Vibrant Android Development] MurdockBaracus:
Definitely gonna try switching to edge. Thanks for the tip!

If it wasn't for the darn screen being such a battery vampire, I swear I could make it last longer. I keep the screen on 0% (with Brightness Level) unless I am outside and set the timeout on the display to the lowest setting possible.
