First of all, thank you for your time and effort on this awesome ROM. It's great having something that can be customized from the barebones configuration. I've owned an Android phone for a week and had no problem flashing the ROM.

I was having issues with the data connection not working after disconnecting from Wi-Fi. I wanted to put it out there that after doing the datadata fix mentioned in an earlier post my data connection problem has been resolved in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Blank desktop.... Literally nothing!

OK.... So I downloaded the slim 2.8 ICS zip (50MB approx) and the slim 2.8 ICS essentials for vibrant.

Following the instructions (candanga) I flashed the base rom (50MB) then without rebooting, installed the essentials. Then booted, the ROM started and when I got to the desktop there was nothing. I could swipe between screens but all I could see was the moving pagination icon, no icons, no widgets, nothing but the wallpaper! The home button (on vibrant phone itself) did nothing going, the only one that did anything was the search button and it allowed me to open a browser with my search criteria. But that's it. Nothing else.

So I rebooted back to recovery and reflashed the essentials zip for vibrant after once again running a factory wipe, cache and dalvik wipe, then rebooted. This time I was welcomed by the Android phone setup screen and all seems okay. Although I'm not sure how to get the original ICS launcher as the OP suggests the add on pack (seems the v2.6 is good, but its a broken link 404 error?) All I have on the desktop is a few basic icons and that is it? Wow, this is one slim rom! I read that I can get the stock ICS launcher look from an add-on package? But where? Sorry if I missed something here?

But why did I get that weird absolutely nothing on the desktop experience the first time?

Also, editing fields in browser seems twitchy. When zoomed the text doesn't wrap properly and its sometimes difficult to get to where you need to edit.

Hoping that the battery life on this is good. I have tried ICZEN (gorgeous rom) and passion but have been lucky to get 8 hours even when I've hardly used the phone.... and yes, I went through 3 charge cycles to allow things to settle in (including wiping battery stats).

Fingers crossed! Hope this rom is my new daily! Seems snappy!

Thank you for your hard work!
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Can't add the flash app from the market? Says its incompatible? Saw a post saying clear data under market app in settings/apps but that didn't work? Any ideas? Can't live without flash.

Btw - seems that xda site no longer has a button to search in a thread when you are logged in?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
I think you will find the battery life will be better than other roms.

Slim comes with Zeam launcher, if you swipe down it will open the app drawer. Pressing the menu key you will find options for configuring Zeam. If your looking for an ICS launcher I like Nova which has a free and paid version.

Zeam is fast, a trade off, speed for less options.

As for having nothing on the desktop, I experienced the same thing. I don't use the browser much so I can't offer much help for it.

Under ASS in the settings you might change the LCD Density to 240 and reboot.

The default setting of 182 can cause market issues. There is a link that has a fix on the page you downloaded Slim.

Market Workaround at 182 DPI:

Flash this modded market. or Change to 240 dpi, reboot, clear market cache, and verify that all apps are seen ( if you can't see any at 182 dpi), then change it to 182 dpi and don't clear cache. All apps will show up until you clear cache next time. or Buy LCD Density Modder Pro. Easily allows to change DPI and downloads a modded multi dpi marketplace.

I restored flash from a Titanium backup. If I search for flash in the market it shows up as installed.

I got the same incompatible message when I tried installing TSF launcher from the market using my desktop computer, it listed my Vibrant as incompatible. Using my Vibrant the market didn't show the TSF launcher. An example of the market showing the Vibrant incompatible, LCD Density was 240. I flashed a different rom and the market listed TSF launcher.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
not sure if you saw it but what themes will work with this rom. What build of AOKP is this based on?

Sent from my phone, not yours.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
I sure did, but you didn't read my description in the main thread :p. This build fully from AOSP sources with devicec folder from TH and some cherry picking of AOKP features. Cheers

Edit: themes, i don't know, anything thats AOSP/AOKP/CM9 compatible.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
did see, but I didn't know if any themes would work. Thanks man.

[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
I cannot get this datadata script to work like I have on past ICS ROMS, how am I to do it? I keep getting low storage notices and I like this ROM but it's really annoying. After I install, everything runs fine, I then add the .nodatadata file to /datadata, reboot. Remove the .nodatadata file from data/data, reboot recovery, format /datadata, and reboot. By then all my apps have lost all data, my home button doesn't work, among other problems and on top of it, the script does not run properly. The only way to get things working somewhat normal again is to do a full wipe and reflash the ROM, but then I get the storage problems again (obviously). I've gone through all these motions 3 times and am finally reaching out for help. Searched this thread and doesn't seem to be much discussion on "nodatadata" or any other key terms. These are the exact steps I'm supposed to follow according to the thread and they've always worked for me up until now. What am I missing?
[Vibrant Android Development] trippmcnealy:
If you are looking for Browser bookmark sync, just copy "ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk" from another ROM and place it in "/system/app" and fix permissions. Reboot and you should then be able to mark your Google account for Browser sync.
[Vibrant Android Development] thepoetvd776:
Really liking this rom so far. I have come from latest passion and can really see a speed improvement.

Only downside is the GPS not working. I have flashed latest kiss kernel hoping to get some satellites but nothing. I'm going to try fasterfix now to see what happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] grose65:
Installed latest passion kernsl and GPS and mute problem is gone
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
I am at 4 hours of extremely light use. Battery at 32%! GPS mostly off coz it doesn't work! Phone sitting in my pocket.

I'm using a 1800mah battery that got into the 3rd day with light use on Froyo (bi-winning).

I've tried all the other ICS builds, allowing time to settle in (several charge cycles), and have come to the conclusion that ICS is like a greedy little fat ice cream kid eating battery life with insatiable abandon!

Hopefully in a few months this will be resolved.

Beautiful ROMs but for me hopeless battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Something wrong with your phone/battery mate. I can easily get 2 days on light usage
[Vibrant Android Development] trippmcnealy:
I was sitting at 24 hours when I hit 40% with light usage. I am loving the battery life on this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
I don't know what it can be. The only thing could perhaps be that the modem choice for the current location is not good and is constantly looking for towers? I am normally in SoCAL and use KA6, but spending time in seattle and perhaps need to change modem.

Nothing wrong with phone or battery. Back on bi-winning froyo (I have 2 batteries and always keep one fully charged for emergencies in my bag) and used for an hour almost solidly (on XDA and other sites) and only used 10% battery. I would have been at least 30-35% on an ICS rom after such use. Just saying, it's not my phone or battery, at least not in the sense that it's a hardware issue. Your comment stands true that when it comes to my specific phone and the software in these new ICS builds, yes its perhaps my phone that is acting differently from others. But it's software, not hardware.

Are you using a tmobile vibrant? Or an i9000? If the latter then perhaps that's the difference? I'm not alone in the very poor battery life on tmobile vibrant from my searches on ICS ROMs. Again, not everyone... Strange? Fickle gadgetry!

BTW - I tried reflashing the ROM and got the completely blank desktop again? Nothing until I go through settings and install novo launcher. Something strange with the way zeam is built in, someone else had this same issue yesterday I think?

Your rom is super snappy, much more fluid than any other ICS build I've tried, great work! Hoping that battery life improves in updated builds from Google.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
just pull it from 3.7
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
Yeah...but for some reason the file manager included in the rom does not paste in the system folder. When I copy file from sdcard it does not go beyond the /sdcard

Thats why I have es explorer as flashable

3.8 working great...clean install +restored everything using TB

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Update : Phone process is crashing while calling out...how to fix this ?
[Vibrant Android Development] tehl3x:
Just updated to 3.8, com.android.phone was force closing. Did a full data/dalvik wipe/system format, reinstalled, and com.android.phone is still force closing on incoming calls and outgoing calls.
[Vibrant Android Development] MeximCivic:
I don't know how much change was done on 3.7 but everything is running smooth! Battery is great performance improved from previous versions thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Erichhart:
Same here!

Help :(
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Possible fix on the way fellas, check the update me/ apps section for a Phone app.

Edit: fixed, d/l via update me /apps. clear phone apk data. all is good.
[Vibrant Android Development] tehl3x:
Thanks :) back to 3.7 until a fix comes.
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
copied phone.apk from 3.7 and it fixed it

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

fix confirmed working
[Vibrant Android Development] tehl3x:
Yep, confirmed as well on 3.8. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Erichhart:
Sweet thanks!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] davidgs:
I just installed 3.8 (with full wipe), and when trying to change the Wallpaper I'm only able to select "Live Wallpapers"...

I had to use Zedge to change the current "still" wallpaper...

Is someone else having this?
[Vibrant Android Development] taurus193:
Upgraded to 3.8. Over 3.7....no problem everything working great...... new launcher is good....just need to learn it how to use it.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
Yup. Gallery wasn't there so I use JustPictures from Play store.
[Vibrant Android Development] davidgs:
I didn't noticed that the gallery app wasn't included.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Read Changelog please....
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
I changed density and phone apk FCed any fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] shiftymccool:
Can't install addons

I'm trying to get the gallery and Google quick search installed and the installation just fails. Maps was the only addon apk that installed correctly on my Vibrant. I wish I could give you more details, but the installer just says "Application not installed." Any ideas?

Also, I understand the desire to make this ROM more lightweight, but removing the Google quick search seems like a bit much. What was the performance reason for removing this? Just curious.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Provide a logcat please.
[Vibrant Android Development] shiftymccool:
logcat

Hopefully I did this right. Let me know if you need anything else.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
that doesn't make sense. logcat doesn't tell me much. what version of app are you running?
[Vibrant Android Development] ktorres1120:
Ok so I don't know what just happened. I was running 3.7 and just tried to install 3.8 with full wipe. After it went into a bootloop so I went back into CWM to reflash but now when I try to "install zip from sd card" it keeps saying "No files found". It's like my internal SD was erased.

What could I of done wrong and where should I go from here???

Thank you!

**EDIT: I ended up mounting my phone to my PC and transferring the base and essentials to my external SD. Then flashed from there. HOWEVER it now looks like all my internal SD stuff (pictures, music, etc) is gone.**

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Anyone know if there is any hope if it appears your internal SD was wiped? I don't know how I could of done that while flashing 3.8. I've flashed a hundred times and nothing like this has ever happened before.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thanks krarvind, confirmed the 3.8 phone fix is working for me. Fantastic ROM, more stable and reliable than any other ICS I've used. Donation coming when my next check comes!
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Without the startup android wizard I can't figure out how to get the phone to auto download my apps.

Is there a manual way to get the apps to commence downloading?

Using >System Settings >Accounts & Sync to add my Google acct works for everything else but it has never auto synced my apps for me when I start from there.
[Vibrant Android Development] lewishollow:
Thanks for the frequent updates! Love this ROM! One concern is that my GPS used to recover from deep sleep fairly consistently, but now it's only working directly after boot, then never again until a reboot.

Any help is appreciated, as I'm about to be travelling for a couple of weeks, and I know GPS will be my best friend at times.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Rayn1328:
same here.......all my kids senior prom pics gone!!! sucks any ideas would be appreciated.thanks:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] shiftymccool:
I did a complete wipe from 3.6. Flashed 3.8 and tried to install the addon apps from the link on the website. Logcat was from the latest version of alogcat in the play store. If there's a better way to do it let me know.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
I thought the issue was with updateMe. You are having issues with playstore?
[Vibrant Android Development] ktorres1120:
Check the Vibrant general section. I posted a thread there and some guy thinks there might be a way to recover some files. I'm not on a PC yet to try it out. Good luck. I had so many pictures its not even funny.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rayn1328:
Used the recuva free software and was able to recover everything pretty much.
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
New Launch Program

Is there any way to go back to the original launcher?

or maybe a simple patch file to blast the old one into the new builds....

Love the rom but looks like v3.7 is where it stops for me... I just can not handle the new launcher at all! I like my customized screens with my stuff organized the way i like it...

+100 on the rom

-90 on the new launcher

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] silvercrown266:
OMG! You're freaking out for No reason.

And it's not even a problem!

If you don't like the new launcher just go to play store and download Zeam Launcher.

Zeam launcher is the default launcher of previous builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
The changelog indicates that 3.8 comes with a new launcher. Don't be angry with the OP or silvercrown because you failed to read. We all take chances when flashing new ROMs or updates. If you don't backup apps, media, or settings (or make a nandroid) and then get pissed because you have to start over when a ROM wipes, you shouldn't be on a developers forum. If you made the appropriate backups, you would be able to go back to 3.7 in minutes or at worst spend 30 minutes setting up android settings again. Let's not exaggerate and say it takes hours to fix settings.

Remember this ROM is provided to you for FREE and it's attitudes like this that have resulted in developers leaving the forum abruptly in the past. Be grateful that anyone is still working on this old device and don't take it out on other people if you fail to take precautions before flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
You need to chill out. This rom is provided as is and if you don't like the launcher then, hey download another one and use it. Zeam is in Play store, and Krarvind has stock launcher in OTA. If you didn't back up your apps thats not our problem. If you failed to read it isn't our problem either. So calm down.
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
From the Moderator-

Please be respectful to all in this forum.....

Remember, when you flash anything there is a risk all things will not go as planned...... you accept that or Do Not Flash......

Another thing, just because we all have the same device does not mean it is the "Same device"..... most phones are built in many countries and therefore are not Really the same....... this is why some people experience issues when flashing, while others do not..... my vibrant was made in S.Korea...... I bet most of yours are not.......so,.... be understanding, we are Truly lucky that some of the best Devs in the world were willing to keep supporting this device

Play Nice, Be Respectful and adhere to XDA's code of ethics and follow the rules

Thank you, oka1 (moderator)
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
Well Sorry !

The post was not an attack on anyone, in fact I thanked the person for informing me I could get the old launcher back and still use the update.

Was more a rebuttal and commentary on how the new changes broke the last version.

And yes I read that change log after I got home, you see the lil green guy that tells me I have an update didnt mention any of that. Yes I did a backup before.

And yes I am very thankfull to the crew working on this rom in fact samsung would be wise to hire them to work on their releases!

so sorry if I hurt feelings that was not my intent.

:o
[Vibrant Android Development] s13epy:
Just flashed v3.8 with SZ #80 voodoo at 200 dpi and gotta say phenomal work peeps (:

Quick question is there a way to acces the tutorial for the launcher again, the lightning launcher. I like it but I need some help using it lol

THANKS !!

unable to transfer anything via Bluetooth, how does one fix this ?
[Vibrant Android Development] ktorres1120:
I stuck to 3.7 after upgrading to 3.8 just because I was used to the previous launcher and the "clean slate" feel of it. Always nothing but great things to say about Slim Roms. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] s13epy:
Got the video reboot "bug". Is anyone else experiencing this ? Either watching a video on youtube or through the web and using the video player and now through just watching a video off the sd internal.

[Vibrant Android Development] Guitar100:
May I ask a dumb question? I download 3.8 from my phone and can't find it anywhere. I'm on 3.7 now. I reboot to recovery but can't find it.

Look under tapatalk download
[Vibrant Android Development] ali4ek:
Any ideas about the "No data" issue?

Odined to JFD, rooted, installed CWM recovery and latest CM9 nightly, then Slim ICS 3.8 Base, then Slim ICS 3.8 Essentials for Vibrant.

No data whatsoever, even though the indication changes (G, E, 3G, H).

The calls and SMS work fine, as well as Wi-Fi, but not data connectivity.

I downloaded the beatsaudio zip from updateme, rebooted into recovery and flashed the file. Restarted and I dont see anything that says beats audio. Is this an app? Not a big deal just curious :p
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
why can't people just download and install the zeam launcher from the playstore instead of going back to 3.7?
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Or from ota, it's there as well. I find it hilarious to be honest.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonen:
agreed. lol

Cm9 black theme working great on this ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
beats audio is not something you will see a program or settings for.

It is injected into the ROM from my understanding, but I've never been able to tell the difference. Voodoo sound rules.

No, 3.9 is not ready to be released YET.
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
I tried Chimera,PARANOIDANDROID ,ZenICS, Passion,Doc,s Master, MIUI v4,RMS,AOKP,CM9 , may be more but this ROM is best..

THANKS

krarvind for such a great ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Thanks for the feedback. I have to say CM9 and AOKP are real deal, they do a lot more original development. I cherry pick a lot from them while keeping it AOSP with my tweaks.
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
Yes they are real deal but I get issues once in a while with them. I just cannot stay with all those roms for more than one or two days. I always return to slimrom...Most of the other roms has too much bloat for vibrant which is already short on memory.

Slim never gives me any kind of issue:)
