Brain Freeze here...(pun intended)

Is there a way to limit the number of homescreens in the stock launcher?

I've become a minimalist and only want one.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] trippmcnealy:
I don't believe that there is. You might want to try out Apex or Nova Launcher. Both of those will provide you the ability to cut down on the number of home screens.

[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
APEX does I know for sure. It is basically ADWex for ICS. I use it on my tablet and have cut down the screens.

Too much wasted space, more screens do cause.

Where you been Trip? Been a long time since I have see you post anything.

I feel so stupid for flashing this mod and i don't even use the slide to unlock thing i have a pattern

[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Its not bad. I actually like the stock lock with the full ripple, its smoothing out and looks nice IMO, will probably stick with that in future builds if I remember.

For the google play lock, thats probably nothing more than swapping out a few pngs in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder to replace the stock lock and round ripples. (Maybe I'm a perv, but that sounds dirty :D)

You should be able to tackle that one, with the mods made to the framework.jar, just replacing the specific pngs ought to get it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Not in the stock launcher, but I recommend Zeam, runs great on everything I've tried from Eclair to ICS, lightweight, customizable and scrollable dock, and some other nice features for such a lightweight launcher.

[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I think they could be blended together, but I haven't looked deeply into what the mod Alex posted contains. It should just be a matter of blending the ripple source into Alex's mod.

Recovery Issue Havers: What bootloaders are you on?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Updated Kernel, Take 2

Greetin's Folks,

Let's try this again. Instructions are in post #1806.

For those with recovery problems, download the Heimdall 1.3 package and follow the instructions in the Notes. HOPEFULLY, this will fix your Recovery problems.

Sorry, I haven't been able to get a working Odin package with MD5 checksum, so you will all have to suck it up and get used to Heimdall. Besides, Heimdall kicks azZ now!!

I still don't know for sure what caused the recovery issues some of you experienced. If I were to guess, I'd have to say something got corrupted with the recovery or kernel partition.

N00b question, but how can I see what bootloader I'm on?

Unrelated question: I am using Nova Launcher. Whenever I click home, the launcher seems to reload all the widgets each time (i.e. my launcher calendar widget always seems to take a second for the my very important (read: not important) engagements to appear). This really doesn't bother me, but the problem is with my CNN widget. Whenever I reboot the phone, the CNN widget just becomes greyed out, and I cannot do anything but delete the widget and then replace a new CNN widget on the screen. Anyone know why this is happening? I don't remember this happening with the earlier RCs.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Turn phone off

Press power + volume down for about 5 seconds did recovery or download mode pop up? If no, you're on froyo of yes GB
[Vibrant Android Development] gdpaull:
I held it down as you stated above...when I let go, I see Vibrant still for a few seconds, and then it goes to recovery mode...so I guess GB is the answer. Are there advantages to being on either?

I just noticed after my last post that after about 15 minutes or so, the CNN widget actually does seem to fix itself. I think that it just greys out until whatever refresh interval it's on...so got that figured out!
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
GB over froyo.

GB can be used on froyo, GB, ics with no issues.

Froyo causes issues.

GB has a better combo

Power + volume down is recovery

Power + volume up is download mode

[Vibrant Android Development] schwick:
I have another Stock Vibrant that has a Froyo bootloader. Flashed ICZen RC 1.3 and then Flashed MP's latest kernel, the recovery went missing. I guess it has something to do with Froyo BL's but haven't encountered this problem on other kernels such as Glitch and Kiss.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Must be something I took out of the kernel. I did streamline/tweak a bit between build 5 and 17.

Have you tried flashing GB boot loaders to see if it fixes it, or if GB boot loaders plus heimdall kernel fixes it.

Maybe it's time to drop froyo boot loaders on and do some testing.

Thanks for the report.

Hey IDK whats happening but I just reflashed this ROM, and have been having 1 problem...

The signal icon is blank for the first minute or two of reboot, and then its comes back...
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Are you referring to the wifi and/or radio (phone bars)? Have you tried clearing data for Rom Control? For some reason that's the app that comes to mind for me.

I haven't experienced this myself.

[Vibrant Android Development] illego:
Is anyone getting slow wifi speed? I am sitting next to my router and I am only getting 6-7mbs when everything else on wifi is getting 15-16. I've tried the different modems bit it makes no difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Okay. This may have been the most helpful post thus far for tracking down the recovery issue. No disrespect to the others.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. I flashed Froyo bootloaders and my phone broke. No CWM Recovery, no rom. Reflashed the new kernel via Heimdall, and the result was the same. Phone just sat there at the Vibrant logo.

2. I flashed the Build 5 kernel via Heimdall, and my phone booted straight into Recovery. So, I could now get into CWM Recovery, but not into the rom. I wasn't planning to reflash IC Zenwich, so I took this for what it was, and moved on.

3. I re-flashed GB bootloaders. BAM! Everything was now back to normal. Both CWM Recovery and my rom worked. Also, I could now see the subZero bootsplash screen.

So, what was learned or validated by all this troubleshooting?

1. The new kernel's CWM Recovery really doesn't work with Froyo bootloaders. Obviously I tweaked some compatibility option out of the kernel. Maybe something Framebuffer related. But I digress.

2. Most importantly, you really need Gingerbread bootloaders. It'll make everyone's life so much easier. Maybe not now, but definitely at some point in the future.

I am attaching two more Heimdall 1.3 packages for the bootloaders. These have been verified working by me. One is for Froyo bootloaders, and the other for Gingerbread bootloaders.

Heimdall 1.3 - Froyo Bootloaders

Heimdall 1.3 - Gingerbread Bootloaders <== You WANT this!!

I am not seeing slow Wifi here. In fact, earlier tonight, I had some of the fastest Wifi speeds I've seen yet on ICS. And my Wifi router was in another room. ymmv

Have you tried rebooting the phone or the Wifi router? I know you said other devices were transferring at almost double speed. Classic IT Help Desk answer right? "Have you tried turning it off and on?" lol

MP
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex9090:
Alrighty then, first time ever going to flash gingerbread bootloaders. I'm assuming recovery and download mode keys will change with that..
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Yes. But for the better.

Download = Volume Up + Power

Recovery = Volume Down + Power

[Vibrant Android Development] Alex9090:
I'm gonna miss my 3 button combo lol. What happens to jfd now? If i want to odin then i have to reflash Gingerbread bootloaders again?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
I'm not sure that JFD touches the bootloaders. I think it just flashes the other stuff. But if it does, then yes. Just re-flash GB bootloaders with Heimdall.

Honestly, I haven't flashed JFD since Project V and Malice v5. I just flash one of the CM kernels, and reformat everything that way.

Basically, I never go back that far. I suspect I've seen the same results whether I would have flashed JFD with Odin, or an ICS kernel with Heimdall. ymmv

Gb bootloaders stay on your device even after jfd odin

@Mr.Psycho.

I flashed build 18 before bed and woke up to "unknown baseband" in about phone settings. 1 nandroid later , i am good, but i cant say if it is a kernel issue or not. I have flashed a lot of mods and gnex themes etc. Or it could be that i dont need to flash after a 15 hour day. Anyway i will try after work to see if it appears again, or if anyone else gets that
[Vibrant Android Development] gdpaull:
Based on this post, I'm on GB bootloader, but I still had the recovery issue on the #17 build...just to be sure, is there a method using ODIN to flash (or reflash) the GB bootloader? Or better yet a download I can flash from recovery mode (if that's even possible)?

EDIT: after further review, it does look like I still need the 3 button combo for recovery, so I guess I'm still using froyo bootloader after all.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I would recommend flashing the JFD Odin Image that has been modified for the GB bootloader or else you will lose the Vibrant boot screen and get the I-9000 boot screen.

When I got my phone, I was so disappointed. Here we are almost 2 years later and I was close to replacing it with the new nexus. Then ICZen arrived. For the first time since owning my phone, my battery lasts more than a day (even with Touchdown on push for email) and it's snappy too. The GPS thing is something I got over a long time ago and even that works well after a reboot. So I want to say thanks and by that I mean THANKS! to Br1ck'd for the ROM and MP for the kernel.

C'mon guys. This is the Zen thread. We are about balance and harmony here. Let's play nice, keep things positive, and be social. There's no reason to lower our standards to what goes on in some of the other forums/threads.

Sometimes (me included), we just have to take a second pass through our comment and ask the question, "is what I'm about to post going to be viewed negatively, taken out of context, or misinterpreted?" I can't speak for everyone, but sometimes, I edit, re-edit and proof-read my post 3-4 times (like now) before hitting the submit button.

So, let's all just chill a bit. We're in this bowl of ice cream together. Get your morning cup o' joe, grab a beer, drink some wine, smoke a joint, have steaming-hot sex, do your pilates/yoga, take a crap, or whatever else floats your boat. But relax, enjoy, and have fun on this wild and slippery ride.

Remember, we are going where Samsung wouldn't. We are doing what Samsung wouldn't. And maybe, we'll put out something better than Samsung ever could.

My daily comment about this rom.

Today I needed GPS, I turned it on and rebooted. GPS was locked in seconds and remained locked for the 35 minute 18 mile drive while I used navigation in my truck.

[Vibrant Android Development] Kennii:
Im tryna figure this out too
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Actually, except for one line, my files were exactly the same for the GPS stuff. I have "class late_start", where the CM7 one did not. In the past, if I did not include that line, GPS would not even startup.

So, there must be something else in the kernel that is tweaked (perhaps wakelocks) or enabled. Maybe some GPIO stuff that I overlooked.

Glad to hear it worked for you. Now, if we could just figure out that deepsleep issue.

Thank you for the link. I'm going to ODIN the GB bootloader tonight. I have read over everything on the flashing info, but I wanted to confirm a couple things. First, I see there seems to be the regular GB bootloader and then the CUSTOM one...does it matter which I use? Will they have the same result?

Second, I can just flash the bootloader and nothing else, correct? Everything else will stay the same? I do not need to reflash the ROM or anything, right? And to confirm that the GB bootloader was successful, I can just try the new combo to enter recovery. Is this all accurate?

Should I be on full battery for this?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
The custom ones just have a different bootloader splash screen.I prefer the regular one myself. Just flash the bl and that's it, no other flashing needed

Doesn't matter if your battery is full or not
[Vibrant Android Development] gdpaull:
Great, thanks...gonna ODIN tonight. So, to clarify, the only real benefits of this are an easier way to get into recovery and possibly to help fix certain problems that arise?

I don't need to wipe or anything? As long as I follow the instructions, it's tough to brick, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sugartibbs:
Read and follow the op carefully, especially the instructions to un tick reboot and reset time, if you get a fail message dont panic, long press the power key to reboot. Im just getting back from an odin and flashed the GB. Read and follow!
[Vibrant Android Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
I just upgraded to GB bootloaders today and they work great. Just follow the instructions as they are and you'll have no problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Yes. No wipes are needed. Just flash and reboot to get into Shangri-La.

Benefits:

1. Critical: Fixes the issue of accessing CWM Recovery in subZero kernels.

2. Low: Easy key combos for Download and Recovery.

If Odin scares you, then try the Heimdall packages I uploaded for GB Bootloaders. Process is pretty much the same in Heimdall, though. Although, the package makes it very easy. Just a bunch of clicks and your done.

Risk of bricking the phone is the same regardless of using Odin or Heimdall, since you are working at the bootloader level.

Follow the instructions, and it's easy as Baba Ghanoush.

PS- You rock! :p
[Vibrant Android Development] gdpaull:
Gotcha. Well, I'm not really too concerned about pressing an extra button to get into recovery mode. As far as the SubZero kernels, I reverted back to #5 so I can get into recovery mode...maybe next time I need to ODIN I will flash the new bootloader...just not seeing any overwhelming reason to do so at this time. Thanks for the info.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
As long as you are okay with that. Once you upgrade to a newer rom or kernel that breaks CWM Recovery, you will need to either Odin GB bootloaders, or Heimdall the Build 5 boot.img as the kernel.

Either way, you'll need Download mode.

MP

EDIT: As kernels get upgraded, they get improved (hopefully ;P), streamlined, etc. Eventually, all kernels become out-dated. As long as you don't need a feature/fix from the new kernel, you'll be okay.
[Vibrant Android Development] gocalbears:
I've been monitoring this thread the past few days to see how development is going. looks like you're getting close, brickd! thanks for your hard work! I'll definitely jump in once it's out of RC stage.
[Vibrant Android Development] gdpaull:
Ok, I see what you're saying. So, when I lost recovery recently flashing SubZero#17, and I ODIN'd back to stock, you're saying all I really had to do was flash the GB bootloader and I would have gotten recovery right back?

The GB bootloader has absolutely no effect on the actual performance of the phone, though, correct? It doesn't make it run any smoother or anything?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
Yes. Though at the time of the initial reports of lost CWM recovery, we didn't know it was related/isolated to Froyo bootloaders.

Correct, bootloaders have no impact on performance of the kernel/rom.
