[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
I've seen a minor Zeam bug where it seems to get app icons mixed up -- or actually, one will just overlay on top of the other.

My own phone is one of the originals, so it went through a bunch of Froyo and GB ROMs before ICS, but I had a tough time getting this running on my friend's Vibrant. TMo sent him a replacement that was running Eclair... yikes. Good luck trying to find working links to the files you need to get off that, these days! Protip: Trying to pick through two years of forum threads (and multiple versions of Galaxy phones) to jump from Eclair through to ICS is probably not something you want to jump into starting at 11:30 PM! LOL

At one point I ended up having to ODIN back to JFD, then I noticed that Passion doesn't require a GB bootloader any more, so I just renamed it update.zip and loaded it through the stock recovery and sort of skipped ahead that way. I then put a GB bootloader on the phone after the fact. However, I'm concerned this means the partitioning is incorrect -- but all the instructions I find say to use CM7 first to address that, and as far as I can tell, CM7 is gone after their freak-out over 911.

I'm sure there are a 1,001 retarded things in the preceding paragraph, and I'm open to suggestions. I feel sure something isn't right because I see both the Slim boot animation (the progress bar), and the colorful "spinning panels" animation from Passion when it starts.

Also, I've been perfectly happy with the "low space" fix where you go back to using /data/data (I know it's slower than nand storage)... I went to do that fix and he doesn't have a datadata partition, so again I'm assuming I borked up something somewhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Interesting, I installed this on my wife's phone last night -- which was another original-release Galaxy, this time running Bionix. Fast and easy install, as I expected -- but no datadata either.

Is this Zeam modified in any way for Slim? Live Wallpapers don't work -- or rather, they work, until you try to slide to another screen or go to the app list -- then they smear,. I didn't see this reported in this thread or in the Zeam thread but it happened on all three Galaxy phones I have moved to Slim.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
You need live wallpaper apk? I might have it in my addon
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
stock kernel

Any chance you could post the stock kernel link for going back after using a third party kernel?

Thanks.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
@krarvind

I couldn't for the life of me get the market to download anything. Tried the older market fix and nothing. Of course I modified the buildprop first, but after these trys I pulled icyZens buildprop and rebooted and the google play is working now.Just a heads up man! Great rom:D
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
PM me the build.prop.

Krarvind GPS is not seeing any satellites with SilimICS v2.9 Vibrant Essentials kernel. The kernel shows the same Team Hacksung MM061 #1 kernel but it is 1.3MB smaller at only 4.6MB instead of 5.9MB so I think you possibly forgot to include some stuff like GPS ramdisk etc when you added touch recovery to the kernel. I flashed v2.8 MM061 #1 kernel and GPS sees satellites and locks perfect even after deep sleep like it should. I have attached a CWM flashable zip of SlimICS v2.8 kernel for those who have flashed to other kernels and want to go back to the stock kernel without having to flash the Vibrant Essentials pack. Great job on keeping SlimICS slim Krarvind! The new touch recovery is a great touch and I like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
can you redownload vibrant essentials to see if its better? i set the ntp server. i will check to see if i missed anything else.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I am fresh flashing Slim ICS v2.9 after JFD Odin with the new Vibrant Essentials v2.9 you just uploaded and I will let you know in 10 minutes or so.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
sorry mate, i just put in the fixes for the gps for vibrant and recompiled my ramdisk adn kernel. just uploaded essentials again. pls redownload and try. cheers. night.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I just downloaded and flashed your last v2.9 vibrant essentials and now the GPS icon doesn't even pop up in notification bar. I flashed back to the SlimICS v2.8 kernel using cwm zip file and now all is good and gps locks super fast. Why has the boot.img shrunk from 5.9MB to 4.6MB, What code or features were removed in v2.9 kernel which would cause GPS to not even see satellites?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
krarvind, I'm confirming the updated buildprop is on point. Google Play works well even on 182 and 200 dpi...I'm kinda digging this 200 dpi look! Thank God I wear glasses !lolz

Hurtz, does the gps not work on the latest stock kernel... on earlier ics builds,GPS would be on,but the icon might blink once or twice.. just thought
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
With the last Vibrant essential v2.9 the GPS icon wouldn't even come up. GPS work flawlessly even after deep sleep with SlimICS v2.9 and the SlimICS v2.8 kernel.

I use the "Dock Sound Redirector" app to enable sound through my desk dock. It works fine under the Glitch v14b kernel, but it gives a warning about not being compatible with stock Vibrant Slim ICS 2.9 kernel.

Any chance Vibrant version of the Slim ICS kernel could be built with whatever tweak Dock Sound Redirector requires? There is some implication that it is voodoo sound related but it isn't clearly stated.

The XDA thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916233

Vibrant users, pls redownload essentials, flash and let me know if gps works fine. i missed something in the ramdisk.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
I'm about to test GPS soon. I would like to say that touch recovery is sexy by the way.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Krarvind GPS doesn't even initialize with your latest Vibrant Essentials.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
can you try using gps aids and let new know what it says
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
In GPS Aids it won't download XTRA (Native Method) data and it has to use LTO (Forced Method). GPS Aids shows 11 satellites but no signal on any of them.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
ok, will have a look later. Use boot.img from 2.8 until then. Cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
try this boot.img and let me know pls.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
That boot.img you just posted has working GPS with KA7 modem but GPS won't initialize with KB5 modem for some reason. I have tested the last Vibrant Essentials you posted this morning with KA7 modem and GPS still doesn't work so it wasn't modem related. Do you think you could add circle battery mod in the next version of SlimICS? I just don't know how to add the AOKP circle battery mod to to the ASS setting app you made. I do know how to add the png files in to the framework though. Thank you for fixing the weather status bar. This rom is super fast and smooth!
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
so gps works with the latest boot.img? circle mod, not looking to add it. Adds weight to my rom :P. There must be a circle mod out there.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Yes GPS works with the last boot.img but only with KA7 modem for some reason.

If you don't mind. It will increase the Wife Acceptance Factor. I didn't realize it was an add-on, I thought LWPs were part of Android in general, although it makes sense that it would have to be a launcher feature, now that I'm thinking about it.

I'm still on 2.8 but I get no GPS at all. Neither does my wife. However, my biz partner does get GPS on his newer-revision Vibrant with 2.8.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
With the newest Vibrant Essentials my GPS works. After deep sleep it could not lock onto anything. At this point, one reboot later brought back GPS functionality. After deep sleep again, GPS failed. GPS Aids could only download the LTO (not native) files after all of these steps.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lochman79:
Is the Slim kernel part of the base or the essentials? I wasn't getting any signal, so I flashed to another kernel to see if that was it. Now that I do have signal, I'd like to flash back to the Slim Kernel to see if the problem still exists.

I'm currently on 2.9. Is anyone else having my same issue???
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Sorry K just got your message, with the essentials marked yesterday 20:43 is a no go like hurtz777 was saying will try the fix and let ya know
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
try the boot.img I posted a page or two back.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
deep sleep breaks GPS in vibrant. Known issue afaik
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
The Slim ICS v2.8 version of MM061 #1 had GPS working after deep sleep for everyone so it has to be an issue with the v2.9 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Interesting, the kernel( zImage i used is the same). what happens with the boot.img i posted, you said that worked? but didn't after deep sleep?
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:

[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Sorry, can you clarify.you posted a couple of pages back that on latest slim essentials (assuming 2.9) that GPS failed after deep sleep and required a reboot to resolve? Is this what you mean by GPS working? If so,we have different ideas of working;)
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Not "for everyone" -- my phone and my wife's are on 2.8 and GPS doesn't work on either of them, regardless of whether it has gone into deep sleep yet.

But GPS did work in Passion v13 on Kissed 2.2.

Also, all three phones I've switched to Slim are intermittently experiencing the mute/unmute problem. Heard it for myself the first time earlier today when I called my biz partner. A few days earlier my mother complained when I called her, so I tried mute/unmute and that fixed it.

This was also fixed in Passion/Kissed, FWIW -- my point being, it's fixable...
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
Turning on GPS for Places:

Waiting for a bit to make sure phone goes into deep sleep:

Can't reproduce results from first picture so I rebooted and turned on GPS and tried again:

Yes it's stock 2.9. My definition of "working" means that I can see the location of where I'm generally at. I didn't record number of sats and everything else.

Edit: Also, location took under a minute to load. It's relative but it didn't take FOREVER to get a lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
try 2.9, mute, UN mute should be fixed. I have put in the fixes from Nelson. If it didn't then I have no idea.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks mate. Assuming that you are on stock kernel? That's my one only drawback as voodoo sound doesn't really work well with it. The dsp app does a piss poor job and sound is bad. Hopefully supercurio will soon have it working on stock kernel.....
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
Yup stock kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
I've noticed that even after following the steps ( in ASS) to change dpi back to 240, then rebooting and clearing market etc.,that I still can't update SU (app not supported), or find multiple apps on market (Google play), such as drop box amongst others.

I'm on stock 2.9 and essentials.

not sure what to do if I can't access basic apps I need and its nothing to do with screen dpi size?
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
i can see it fine. check your build.prop to see if it says manufacturer unknown? if so change it to samsung. if not try the market from 2.8 .
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Globespy ,there was a couple of updates to the vib essentials.When did you dl ..mines fine after Dling around midnight last night... might wanna reDL.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Just downloaded in last 45 minutes.

Says Samsung, so unsure of the issues?

The main reason I decided to upgrade to 2.9 was because 2.8 was the same problems!!!!

Is there some other market apk I am missing here?

I did a full wipe (including format system in mounts and storage), and ran kernel cleaner before flashing 2.9. Base and essentials.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Globe I know you have zen zip somewhere, pull the buildprop from that and paste in slim and reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
You mean just copy and replace the file on slim from zenwich 1.3?

Not too many are working on this, not speaking for this dev, just sayin'. Those of us who want it will probably have to wait for an official Samsung T-Mob SGSII ICS leak to come through. There's a European version out, but that most likely won't do. Bound to lack the necessary files in framework.jar. We've suffered long enough, even Samsung can't be that cruel, lol.

SMS Problem

Hello Everyone,

I found this ROM as my first choice because of its speed, stability and battery life; but I still have several issues with it.

1- I just found out that I can't send SMS text messages! I read the posts and checked my settings, and I even I contacted my provider, Wind Mobile in Canada, to no avail. I receive sms just fine though.

2- the GPS is finicky! I have tried several ways to keep it working, but after a while the icon doesn't show when I run the GPS test or the navigation software and it doesn't see any birds. Some times even restarting wouldn't wake it up. The best method I found is to restart the phone and use the navigation software right away.

3-It normally freezes after 1-2 days of constant use.

I'm wondering if any one has experienced the same or possibly has found a solution for any of these issues without compromising the positives.

Cheers,

Upgrading to 2.9 fixed mute/unmute on the two phones I've applied it to so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Anybody has a flashable zip of the 2.9 kernel??? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] strifej:
Did a search for external, but didn't find anything, so here goes.

Can we create a permanent link from external_sd to /mnt/emmc?

Many apps only scan the "sdcard" card which is usually /mnt/sd and won't let you go up from there.

On my slim 2.9, external_sd is not mapped to anything. It's just an empty folder.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
what you talking about mate? i see my external sd fine in /mnt/emmc. it's already mapped in all AOSP based roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] jnusz:
has anyone tried flashing this from stock? I'm curious as to why it seems more and more roms flash instructions include flashing to a different custom rom before flashing the intended rom.... I'm guessing this is for boot loaders or something of that nature... Just curious mostly.

Problems

I have been trying to install Both 2.8 and 2.9 versions with out success.

I Went back to JFD Stock and rooted then installed GB bootloader all with out problems.

When I try to install the rom I get "assert failed: run_program("tmp/updater.sh") == 0.

On both 2.8 and 2.9.

Yes, I have d/l updated files and tried again.

I do not have the external SD card installed. If it is required then that needs to be added to the OP.

Suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] steafand:
Flash from stock:

- Root your device

- Install CWM recovery

- Flash GB Boot Loader via ODIN

- Go to recovery mode, flash essentials (if failed, reboot, try again)

- Flash rom base.

- Flash essentials again -> Reboot, Done.

Headphone

I am having an issue using anything that plugs into the audio jack. Bluetooth works great but plugging in a wired headset turns to static. Tried adjusting DPS setting but no change. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue? I may just have a bad jack but it worked on stock before I flashed.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:

Front facing camera build?

Please ignore post #310. Headphone jack is just wonky on my Vibe. Great rom! Thanks for all the hard work. Would using the front FCC mod files break this ICS build? Kernel issues?
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
No idea dude. sorry
[Vibrant Android Development] clocinnorcal:
Why do you need the FFC mod? The Rom has FFC built into the camera apk. Also when using apps like Tango or Skype, the FFC image is always true to the orientation it should be. I have an FFC and have seen no reason to flash any FFC mod files.

Also, great work on this ROM. A few very minor bugs, but the working GPS after DS is the best thing since sliced bread. Congrats, this has become my new daily driver. Finally ready to put Froyo to rest. Now if you had wifi calling working I might propose to you ;)

BTW, I think I should mention that I flashed the Experia GPS files after installing this rom with the stock kernel. Info courtesy of Globespy! Check out his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1550327 .
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Slim

The answer is, yes, but I'm not sure what side effects it could have on your ROM. There is a nice little script to run with ScriptManager that is placed in init.d. It fixed an inability to set contact pictures from a Samsung version of the Gallery that was on a previous version of Doc Masters. On that version there were no ill effects. But on the current version which is based on AKOP, it breaks usb mounting.:mad: I've heard as you stated some apps specifically look for /sdcard/external_sd, but other than that one instance with that Samsung Gallery app, I haven't found any others. If you run the script, it will throw an error, but it will mount /sdcard/external_sd properly and you'll still see /emmc too. I foung this script in the CM9 discussion thread about a month ago. Place in init.d, fix permissions, use ScriptManager to run as 'root' and at 'boot'. If it breaks anything, just delete it out of /system/etc/init.d http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21543533&postcount=742

I flashed my biz partner's phone from stock -- meaning Eclair, meaning JFD -- and finding the old Eclair-compatible CWM was a huge pain. Unfortunately I didn't save the link, I just saved the file itself. And it was very flaky getting back into it.

I keep seeing instructions to flash CM7 or CM9 first -- but as far as I know, you can't get either of them for the Vibrant after their E911 freak-out. They not only stopped work, they also removed all the download links.

It's kind of academic for me, I've already managed to get Slim installed on the three phones I mess with, but I had the same issue with Passion. (I came from Bionix V, and everything worked without the CM7 step.)
