I just read an article, its $299.99 with the equivalent rebate but as a gift card. If you get the unlimited plan its $199.99 with equivalent rebate gift card.

This was in the L.A. Times I believe. Just Google T-Mobile sale galaxy s3.

Liquid smooth, I might be able to get you a customized build that's not here on xda.

I bought this from Sky Mall.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Still trying to find the best one. Used hellfire and it is good, used wicked and it is good, and obviously I like stock alot. Stock with some general tweaks and apps makes an awesome phone...
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Have you tried liquid smooth? Woody has been tweaking and compiling his own version, Liquid Wood!

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
I'll have to check it out! Woody is a good dude. I came from Jrongi1's PA so today i was planning on flashing the PA for GSiii by OGWisdom and check it out - it looks pretty sick - just concerned i might lose some of the touchWiz awesomeness like SBeam and Animated Video thumnails + video trimmer lol
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Thanks for the kind words guys.

If you have any questions about the SGS3 ROMs/Kernels, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. I have flashed them all and just finally decided to pick one and tweak it for myself. Just let me know ;);)

That would be really cool if you could!

Departing from Froyo (Team Whiskey ROM)

Hello people.

I've been away for a while but I finally find myself ready to install Paranoid Android/JB on my Vibrant. My only doubt is that by reading the so very short install guide from the official thread I found myself a bit unsure: are these few steps really all I need when coming from Froyo (a Bionix/Team Whiskey ROM)?

I also read somewhere else that:

a) Gingerbread bootloaders are optional so I'm initially not worrying about that (unless someone replies with something worrisome about that); and

b) that it's also recommended to Odin back to stock which I'm probably gonna do just to be sure I have no leftovers and stuff. There should be plenty of guides for that laying around, right?

Regards!
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
The only thing that you may run into is the need to flash more than once, to get all the partitions set right. Also no need to Odin back to stock. And gb bootloaders are optional but recommended. I use them on my phone but my wife (same rom) is still on Froyo.

Welcome To PA either ask any questions about the rom in its thread or pm me if you need more help.

[Vibrant General] chuimk:
Thanks for the info jrongi! Just one more thing: for installing the GB bootloaders, given that steps list, where in there should I install them? Before even starting (step 0) or somewhere in between those steps?
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
You can do the bootloaders before, after, or not at all. Just not in the middle.

[Vibrant General] mumyoryu:
Hello guys, I am looking to connect my phone to an external usb dac; does anyone know of a JB rom or kernel that supports USB audio through USB OTG? I realize the Vibrant already has solid sound quality w/ Voodoo but there are some things about it that bother me (quite a bit of hiss with sensitive headphones, high output impedance), so I wanted to try it out with an external dac. Sorry if this has been asked already; I couldnt find much info through search. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Post install issues

So, I left the bootloaders for later on. Yesterday I installed PA along with the recommended GPS fix mentioned at page 51 of the PA thread. At first I installed the fix right away (without rebooting) after the ROM and Google Aps zips but as it didn't seem to work I had to re-install it later on again.

It's AMAZING how much more smooth and responsive and beautiful my Vibrant has become! So snappy as it has never ever been! Really impressive. Kudos to the devs!

The issues I noticed so far:

WiFi and phone signals seem much weaker in general than they were with Bionix. I notice that easily at home where I used to have pretty good carrier signal and WiFi reception from my router.

GPS still doesn't seem to work right, especially after deep sleep happens. Should I maybe have to reboot between each of the 3 files to install?

And... I just a PA and/or JB noob so I don't know how to change the layout configurations so that things like Android Settings and Gmail don't show that left side pane but use the full screen instead. With that it seems I have so little screen real estate available! :)

Battery life is also important for me but I'll need at least a week to have an opinion on that.

PS: Is this the kind of post that is supposed to happen at the PA thread?
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Yeah it would be better to have this on the main thread, but no biggie. You can change the notification panel through Paranoid Android settings. Use the stock layout and it will give you what you want. From my experience, Paranoid Android had the best battery life out of any jelly bean rom. As far as the wifi goes, you should download semaphore Manager from the market and then set your wifi too strong or whatever the setting is called.

[GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings]

PA_Vibrant 360° Productions
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
I recently took the plunge to move my phone from Bionix to JB-ParanoidAndroid as well. Followed the instructions from CM10, and flashed CM10 first, then PA_360.

I was initially a bit hesitant about the move, since this is my primary device, and there are constant discussions regarding issues with 911 and GPS.

I couldn't be happier today for moving to JB. One week in, and so far, it has been extremely smooth. Froyo was never this smooth. Even when it was, it would slow down after a while of use. Batter life so far seems to be pretty good, after I conditioned the battery.

I want to give a big thanks for all of the people who work to provide all these great ROMs and Kernels, along with solutions for all of these problems.

I am still having problems with GPS, just like chuimk. Mine only works for a bit after rebooting the phone. Then after a short period of time, if I don't have any app using the GPS, then it no longer can find any sats. This also happens if I decide to turn off GPS to save battery and turn it back on. Not sure if I missed anything in one of the threads, as I have checked.

I have tried updating to Semaphore 2.6.5v and that didn't make any difference. Do I need the 3 file fix when using PA_360? I was under the impression that it was only for PA_stock.

Also, what would be the best way to test 911? Is it just by calling it without the SIM card?
[Vibrant General] :
It was surprising how much smoother JB was when I made the switch. Glad you like it! And you can't really test 911 without actually calling. Even without a SIM card it'll call.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Haha android ROM banter. Dude I remember when this thread was conceived back in the day to declutter the hellybean thread. Its now an important piece of the android community.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
To test 911, you have to set it up in with your local PSAP (public safety answering point).

Would you prefer my usual method of conflict resolution?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
yo guys, which roms are the most popular currently? Been a bit busy but got myself to flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015942

a few days ago, loving it, but the other ones are updated and seem to have more features??

Which is the best, in your opinion?
[Vibrant General] :
Ah... Six months ago. Those were the days. :)
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Testing 911 by calling once does not necessarily mean it will work. The intermittent issues can still be there. The intermittent issues are caused by the blobs being wrong.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Stay with android 2.1. Best Android version, IMO.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Back in those days everything seemed bright and OK... Lol jk
[Vibrant General] gunks:
ICZen was one of the best roms I've ever used on this phone. Great battery life, stability, performance. An all around great rom. I like JB way too much to go back to it though.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
I used to be an IT Guy at a company called Sleuth Software and I dealt with SQL databases. Certain chunks of information were stored as "blobs" (binary large objects). If you think about it, everything is written on a framework of binary so it was funny to give the blobs special attention in recognizing their source code... OK I am done I just always liked the name blob
[Vibrant General] :
Your joking right? I couldn't stand 2.1. It was slow, ugly, boring. I'll never go back.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
I think he meant 4.2.1 lol
[Vibrant General] discodraft:
Hi, I'm new to the vibrant, resurrected it after someone no longer wanted it. I've had it for about a month so far I like it a lot.

My first smartphone (just prior to getting the vibe) was the LG Optimus T which I rooted and loaded a pretty stable ICS ROM. Now it's my wife's phone.

Immediately I routed and loaded ICS Passion, it runs pretty good (except GPS of course, mine was manuf prior to Nov. 2010).

Over the past month I have been "trolling" the vibe forums reading and learning. After reading every post in this thread and the PA thread, I've all but decided to move on to Paranoid Android latest version (2.54-360) with the stock semaphore kernel. With a big thanks to j and all the devs! I'm excited to see how it works for me. Especially the GPS.

So, I'm thinking I'll Odin to either stock or more likely one of FishMans ROMS (which one?) Then from there should I go to a CM10 nightly, or directly to PA? Should I do anything else (bootloaders, modem, baseband). I know that I will likely have to flash the PA ROM more then once to get it to stick good.

Thanks again to all the devs!

TIA - for responses to my questions here.

SGH-T959

Android version: 4.0.3

Baseband: T959UVKA7

Kernel: 3.1.10 - ICS Passion

ICS Passion version: 13.1

Build: 1ML74K FEB 7 2012
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
Any of fish's roms will do what you need. while you have odin up it would be a good time to flash the GB bootloaders (after you are up on one of fish's roms).

as far as modem/baseband you will ether be on kb5 or ka7 both are good but feel free to test others to find he best for you in your area.

Ps. thanks for taking the time to read then ask.
[Vibrant General] :
Still can't believe you guys got Android 4.2.1. What an awesome feat of the devs. :)
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
Thanks for the info on how to test 911. Still not exactly sure what I need to do. Would I just call my local PSAP and tell them that I plan to test calling 911? Wouldn't that still tie up potential 911 resources?

Also, in regards to the intermittent issues, based on the CM10 defect log, defect #3 tracks the intermittent emergency calling issues, and it is marked fixed. Is that incorrect? Was the fix incomplete? If so, should the issue remain open to track any remaining issues?

I am still having GPS issues, similar to what are logged in CM10 defect list. These include GPS not working after the screen turns off, I don't believe this is deep sleep. GPS also does not work after toggling.

Maybe I should try the latest CM10 build? Or should I just wait for a stable CM10.1 build?

Other than these issues, really enjoying JB.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
1) Ask them if you can run a test call in the near future. I've heard they say a time sometimes like in the morning.

2) It is fixed (assuming the other GPS issues don't affect it) if you're using the right GPS libs. There is no guarantee that any given rom is using the correct ones. Flashable GPS fixes could break it as well if they replace the libs.

3) Can you get me the log of the toggle failing?
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
FaultException, thanks for the info about 911 testing and about how the intermittent issues are related to the GPS libs.

Sounds like I should try the stable CM10 rom, instead of PA, to test 911 or GPS, given that that custom roms may have changed some libraries?

Regarding the log, where is this located?
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
The logcat, Google it :)
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
Just fyi pa vibrant public release by me use the same gps files as cm, that said I also have nonpublic release that uses the files from ics that gives some better gps service but at risk of 911 issue.

PA_Vibrant 360° Productions
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
FE, here is my logcat output.

Here is what I did.

1) enable GPS

2) reboot phone

3) Run GPSTest

4) GPS working great, locks right away

5) Toggle GPS off, then back on

6) run GPSTest, GPS still working

7) Exit GPSTest

8) leave phone alone for a while, till screen turns off

9) turn screen back on, hitting the power button

10) run GPSTest, GPS no longer works. No SATs in view.

Let me know if you need me to collect anything else.

Have you tried Wicked ROM?
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Yeah and I wasn't impressed. It felt like stock and didn't really capture my admiration. It was very stable and solid, but so is Darth, and Darth has way more functionality (in terms of touch wiz and some kang features)
[Vibrant General] :
Hmm... Whats different between the two?
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Liquidsmooth is based on CM10 And Darth stalker is based on stock Touch wiz, so all touch wiz features are included plus a lot of "Kanglike" features and functions. I love driving mode, smartstay, smart rotate, motion screenshots, and a gps that locks in 3 seconds. On liquid smooth my GPS took like 1-2 minutes to lock...

Didn't know where to put this.

Try holding the home button with volume up and down. Different combinations of that always worked on ics for me. One other combo that used was pull battery>hold volume up or down or both (try all combos)>plug USB cable in while holding. This would kick it into download. Then I would say flash stock to make sure all partitions are updated and system is cleaned...
[Vibrant General] sf6400:
I've tried like 5 different combinations. I didn't have a problem before MIUIv 4. Now I'm going crazy. Also home is a soft key. I tried terminal emulator putting in su then reboot download but that just reboots the phone normally.

I never put a GB boot loader on it. I followed N00b in N33d's tutorial initially and never thought about it. Could I have gotten the coding in the software for download mode deleted somehow? Because it's looking like that's the issue. My spare works fine going into download mode and I put a GB boot loader on it already just cause. But I really don't want to have to transfer all my pics, videos and, contacts over to the other phone with my little 2gb sd card. Any ideas?

Flashing a boot loader doesn't erase pictures. It doesn't erase anything for that matter.
