I flashed PA 2.16 yesterday. It's awesome, but I'm having problems with the soft-key notification light. They light up for Gmail and the stock messaging app, but I can't get them to work with GO SMS. It worked fine on Froyo. Any ideas?

First Post - I am Grateful for SlimBean JB.

More than anything, I'm posting so I can get enough posts, or clues (in case I'm notdoinitrite :silly:) so I can THANK krarvind and the SlimBean crew for bringing forth "SlimBean 2.6" and for all the work they (hopefully) continue to do.

I had pushed out to the latest Froyo on my T959 and felt "There has to be something better".:confused:

I studied and studied, and crossed my fingers and toes and followed the directions I found to make the jump to CM10.:laugh:

God I love that Splash Screen ! :cool:

But my phone was still sluggish. I put the FFC on at CM10, and was thrilled to skype without a mirror!

Still, I'm going to mod-flash my Wife's T959, and am looking for smoothness and speed over 'More Toys".

So I jumped over to SlimBean JB. Smooth. :laugh:

It has some missing pieces, and I'm hopeful that some of the impatient folks in the dev-thread don't put krarvind off the T959 altogether. :eek:

I'm an old firmware hand, but it has been so long, I wonder If I could keep up and contribute.:confused:

So Thanks Everyone for this great community :cool: and the builds and mods that are so much fun, and so useful.

@Guyre, Paranoid Android is an outstanding ROM, very quick with a lot of features. I highly recommend it.

Paranoid, sitting in a deep sweat...
[Vibrant General] Sugartibbs:

[Vibrant General] Guyre:
Ummmmm...Noob-ing Pains ? SlimBean 2.7 PlayStore Error 942

Thanks for the recommendation, paranoid. I see you being generous with your assistance, and that adds to your cred with me. :good:

NOW, I'll really give it some thought. :eek:

I just (several times actually) installed SlimBean 2.7 on my Vibrant (onto which I had to install an AFTERMARKET FFC....just in case anyone is interested) and am having a common problem....

Downloads from Play Store Fail, and automatic attempts to restore my Apps.

I am way too gnuub to post to the development thread..:silly:

..also SlimBean27+PlayStore un-joy posts exist there. None have my exact problem, and so I turn to this JB Vibrant thread.

My particular question is amidoinitrite :confused:

Summary of my Problem Symptoms: Only about half of my apps are restored after registering my Google Account.

Attempts to download what is missing fail....since those apps DON'T SHOW UP in the Play Store...what a Kick! :D

I have been working 'a-la-DJ-Eddie' :cool: from youtube, with a twist.

This worked fine to get to SlimBean 2.4 from Stock.

I realize the key difference with this 2.7 install is to thoroughly wipe the system area.

I fear there is some other pre-condition or 'intuitively obvious' step that I have missed.

I have:

1. Flashed back to stock with Odin

2. Flashed the Update.Zip that puts a recovery 'thing' (rom?bootloader? dunno)

3. Zap data/factory, cache, dalvik-cache + Flashed Passion ICS

3.5 Boot into Recovery shows a different recovery menu

4. Zap data/factory, cache, dalvik-cache + Flash Slim Bean ICS

4.5. Boot into Recovery shows ClockworkMod recovery

5. Zap data/factory, cache, format system, format boot, mount system

5.1 Flash Slim Bean JB 2.7 Image

5.2 Flash Slim Bean JB current All-In-One package

5.3 Flash Font Pack (linked through slimroms)

5.4 Flash Multi-DPI PlayStore (linked through slimroms)

5.Last: REBOOT

Results:

SlimBean 2.7 Boots, and I register my Google Account, and **SOME** of my Applications are installed

Attempts to load the missing ones (after waiting hours) is futile...they don't show up in the Play Store.

It seems I am tantalizingly close to having everything A-O-K...but call me picky I expect to see every app in the Play Store "even if I have now or previously installed it"...nothing should be missing.

any Ideas on how I didn't "doitrite" or what might be happening....hints about what to do to fix it are also welcome ;)
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Uninstall market updates. Go to settings, manage apps, and select market. Clear cache and uninstall updates. Reboot and then open market and missing apps should show up. If you have more issues you might try a different gapps package. Also fry fixing permissions and clearing dalvik ?
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
If I'm understanding correctly, these apps worked on SB 2.4 but not 2.7???

Did you change DPI?

Hopefully iMilleson's advice has corrected any issues. If not,

Pm me a list of the apps and we will try to figure it out.

*There is an updated play store in the themes and apps section. I'm really digging it.

Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn.

[Vibrant General] :
Funny you guys like parandroid... I always find its UI quite annoying.
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
You can make the UI look like stock , look like tablet, or in between. I am running phone UI and it looks identical to CM10
[Vibrant General] Toast6977:
I am also running with a stock UI. I have adjusted several of my apps to fit differently, more to my personal tastes and needs.

An example: I use an app called Viggle. It "listens" to your television, and you get points for time spent watching the tube. My phone, however, has a touch screen dead spot. Looks fine, tastes fine and smells fine; but when you touch it nothing happens.

With Paranoid Android I was able to adjust the size of only that app ever so slightly. The app looks the same, but it moves that button just far enough away from that dead spot that I can now use it. That's just one of the amazing tricks my phone can now do.

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I use it on Tablet Mode.

Really used to the status bar being at the bottom. PA is hella cool.
[Vibrant General] :
I know, but on my HTC Amaze, messing with the UI always makes it look like crap... Then again, its an Amaze ROM. :p

@toast - thanks for alerting me about that app. Dling now!

There are two other apps similar to viggle, get glue and into now.

[Vibrant General] chuimk:
Still on 2.2 but looking for a change...

Hey all... This seems like the right place to post this, so here it goes.

I'm still on the old and good NextGen 2 [2.2 based] from TeamWhiskey. When they announced they wouldn't continue supporting the Vibrant I kinda felt sad and stopped coming back here. Sad times...

And just today I felt like peaking at the Vibrant forums here and boy, how surprised I am! JB on the Vibrant? I couldn't even imagine that after all the talking that without Samsung's support, moving forward would be hard. Well, congratz and thanks to the devs out ther who made it happen!

So, after the cheering, I'd like to get an opinion before moving forward with flashing something new. I still use my Vibrant as my main device for, well, everything: calling, GPS navigation, email, news feeds, podcast and music listening, etc. So I'd be interested in a ROM that can provide a more stable experience regarding the whole feature set the Vibrant offers.

Are the JB ROMs already at this point? Should I find an ICS ROM instead? Or none can provide all this stability I'm looking for yet?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Other than GPS the and calling 911 JB ROMs are there. Some people have had luck with GPS and some not so much. I believe ICS ROMs are OK as far as GPS and 911 but I can't say for sure as I haven't used an ICS ROM for a long time and don't use GPS on my phone. The main reason I stay away from ICS is a encryption unsuccessful bug (EU bug) that causes the internal SD to become locked and unusable. At this point it isn't clear as to why/what causes it, how to avoid it and how to recover from it other than a workaround that uses an external SD like an internal SD.

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] chuimk:
Thanks samsgun! It certainly did help.

The GPS issues you described sound a lot like the ones we faced with the Gingerbread ROMs. Back then I tried some but was never lucky with my own GPS results; one of the main reasons I finally reverted back to 2.2 based Bionix. OtoH, the EU bug from the ICS seems way worse...

As I finally got excited about trying something new, I guess I'll backup the hell outta my current ROM, figure out everything I got to do get Jelly Beans all over my Vibrant and just see how it goes. Maybe I'll get lucky this time? :fingers-crossed:

And by reading some past posts, it seems HellyBean and ParanoidAndroid are highly quoted. Is one of these considered more "stable"? Any other suggestions are welcome as well...
[Vibrant General] Toast6977:
From my experience they are both pretty stable. I didn't ever take issue with either of them negatively.

As for my recommendation, I'd have to go with Paranoid Android. It is super smooth. Slick like ice, and has the most amazing feature set. The Paranoid settings are unbelievable. They were never needed until you've had the opportunity to use them. Then I think you'll find it hard to go to a ROM that doesn't have them.

It just feels naked without them. Helly Bean is great, don't get me wrong, and Der does a great job with the Devil Kernel, it has a lot of features in and of itself.

Last I heard it runs pretty well with PA. PA out of the box utilizes the Semaphore kernel, which is also an excellent kernel choice. The Semaphore manager app isn't quite as tweakable as the Devil Kernel Config app, but its right up there in the league.

All in all I'd say its a buckdancers choice my friend. Better take my advice ;) and make a fresh backup. Install one of them and run it dorba couple of days, don't settle in real deep. Play with the settings for the kernel and get it running good so you can tell how it feels, then flash to whichever was your other option and run it for a few days.

Give them both a chance and make an informed decision based on your phones performance. I think you'll be happy no matter what choice you make. We have great developers in our community. I'm glad to be a part of it.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Slimbean is real nice and seems to have a loyal following as well as "working" GPS reported by users.

[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
I would love to see that kind of GPS results. Do your thing j!
[Vibrant General] llblwskydrgn:
I would love for my Vibrant to lock after deep sleep, it's the one thing that I have trouble with otherwise my gps works even better than my friend's SII sometimes.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Did you do the hardware fix or any other "fix"?
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
Looks amazing !
[Vibrant General] chuimk:
@Toast6977: thanks for all the ROM and Kernel suggestions. I'll go initially with PA and it's standard Kernel and see how it goes. When I should feel the need to change or experiment (and it will come, I know myself :cyclops:) I'll try the Devil Kernel and possibly HB.

And indeed, our devs are great! :highfive:

@samsgun357: Well... I guess that before deciding on PA, I'll checkout the Slimbean thread and see what ppl are saying about the GPS. Thanks for the suggestion!

@jrongi1: Now that looks really promising! I did try to hardware fix it a bit (bending the contact) and some other software fixes. The former did a bit of a difference but the latter not so much. Hope yours will do the trick! :victory:
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
I need 4 or 5 brave souls with working gps hardware to test a flashable fix. One concern is that the fix could interfere with 911 so I also need that tested.

If you are up to the task post here.

PA_Vibrant 360° Productions
[Vibrant General] Toast6977:
I haven't done a hardware fix, but on several HB builds I was able to see birds and get up to 13 locks after 5-8 minutes.

If that's close enough count me in. Someone else can test 911 though :D
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
You know I am, pm me what you need etc.

Once I get some JB flavor into my Vibrant, I'll be up for it. I'll try to do it during the weekend but can't promise anything...

life. That's it. :) I dont care about dozens of this or that features, I appreciate them but I'm just looking for stability right now and a rom that

'just works

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Hey jrongi1,

When you do get someone to test 911, have them get a radio logcat. The problem caused by gps didn't cause the call to fail constantly, (except one guy) but seemed to be linked to a certain command in the RIL failing and crashing it, that command didn't seem to appear all the time. Once we restored original gps libs that command seemed to appear and not crash the RIL. You may want to check to see if that is firing. It's called "ipc_recv_gps"
[Vibrant General] imilleson:
I would love to test it. My GPS hardware works fine (for a vibrant)

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

On another note, when i was using HB I was able to go to /system/app and rename provision.apk to provision.apk.bak and then my tether would work. On PA I do not see a provision.apk at all and my tether only works off and on, sometimes the T-mobile page comes up telling me to purchase a tether package, other times it works no prob. Thoughts?
[Vibrant General] imilleson:

Who else is excited for 4.2 with offline voice
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
More info please imille, haven't heard about it.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
All in all, 4.2 looks AWESOME

Quick settings, SWYPE with the android keyboard, and what i think imille is talking about is the feature that you can use Google Now or the default android keyboard's voice feature and don't have to be connected to internet.

Sounds AWESOME.

Damn T-Mobile pumped up the price for Nexus 4... More than it should be according to google and other carriers.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
That's sweet! And f t mob for price gouging! If I can scrape 3bills together I'm getting the gnote 2, unfortunately it will be Verizon though.

As far as nexus 4, I'm not in love with it. Hopefully 4.2 source code will be out soon and we will see it on the vibe.

[Vibrant General] mfndoom:
thanks for the input, was thinking about Paranoid as well. I think I was "scared" off by the whole tablet/hybrid/phablet whatever :p they've got going on. think i'll give it a try though, just going to keep it in the regular default phone settings.
[Vibrant General] jrongi1:
You can try, but you will play with the the options and get hooked. Beware

[Vibrant General] chuimk:
Where did you get this information from? I mean, is there an public note from Google or other carriers kinda stating that they disagree with T-Mo pricing on the Nexus 4?

Because I do indeed find it a bit abusive that the unlocked no plan $350 phone (16GB) is sold by T-Mo for $200 + 2y plan commitment. Especially given that when the Vibrant came out it's official price was more than $500 and the deal was back then the same $200 + 2y plan. It seems to me that they could indeed push Nexus 4 pricing down quite a bit more...

In my case I'm very excited about the new Nexus... Just wanna be sure it will get rooted and whatnot before going for the kill (of a few hundred bucks)...
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I remember reading about it on Engadget, but I could only find this article at this moment.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/edit...-value-plan-pricing-on-the-nexus-4-isnt-cool/

Basically you will pay $499 with TMOBILE over time with their $20 a month plan, whereas on the Play Store you can get it for 349$, more than hundred $$ right there.

PA_Vibrant 360° Productions
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
I don't know but its definitely worth looking into for sure. T-Mobile has a loyalty department or something like that and from what I've been told, will hookup long time customers in good standings with deals like that. Doesn't make much since for a company not to take care of the loyal customers they already have. As a company that is a customer service based business, you do not want to piss off your customers. Losing a customer because they are dissatisfied is very detrimental. Not only do you lose that customer, for life most likely, you lose an invaluable source of advertising, word of mouth.
