[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
the latest 4.2 slim rom works perfectly for me. I flashed subzero's build No 80 kernel on top and haven't had any problems yet what so ever. Getting 3 days on idle + GPS works even after deep sleep.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Glad to hear you're coming over to the Zen side. :D
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
I agree with the earlier posters with the fishman froyo ROMs, as I am still not sure about the stability of ICS roms. For daily use, I would like to have 911 and stable GPS.
[Vibrant General] inq8us:
Woodrube, I do agree with you, with respect to what you do want out of your phone. When I interpreted from the OP about using the phone daily, I interpreted it as their primary or possibly the only phone. I could be wrong in assuming this, but that is how I am using my Vibrant. When it is my primary phone, I do want GPS, and definitely 911 to be available. I see that a lot of people here actually use their Vibrant as their 2nd or 3rd phone, therefore, they are loading ICS ROMS and may not care as much about these services.

With GPS, I can see limited use with that. Especially given that google has location services via data. However, I have significantly improved lock once I moved to Bionic, where stock was not getting a lock for over 5 minutes. In a lot of the ICS discussions, I see that GPS either no longer works, or is unstable. That is why I didn't think ICS would be a good daily ROM, but I could be wrong.

As for 911, I understand what you mean, but it is a critical service that I would like to be able to depend on daily. 911 is for an emergency, and unpredictable. It is in these unpredictable times that I do want to have something reliable to depend on, and not depend on someone else who may or may not be there.
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
GPS is fixable if you mostly use GPS in the car via bluetooth external GPS receiver. You only need phone radio and bluetooth on - everything else off. This not only saves battery for your phone but improve lock and accuracy on gps. I got around 6-10ft accuracy and locked within 1s (the moment I turn it on).

4.0.4

try chimera v2.2..this is a killer ROM - A blend of AOKP, CM9 and CNA.

here is the link...http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-vibrant/19-chimera-v1-1
[Vibrant General] iKoolkid:
For froyo:try fisherman

For GB: try cm7

For ICS: try either iczen (look in rootzwiki) or Chimera 2.2

For jellybean: Try hellybean
[Vibrant General] phone_noobie:
Im in the same boat as the OP. Am currently on ICS Passion and it is becoming painful to live with it anymore. So much lag. To make a call, just to get to the dialer can take me easily 5 plus seconds. When getting a call, the first 30 seconds are just 'Can you hear me now??'. Im just sick of it at the moment and like the OP am looking for something stable for a daily use. It has to be quick, no lags. Dont care about 911 but would be good if it was working and def want GPS working. I am thinking going Slim ICS but not sure yet. Good advice from earlier posts so I will look into a few of those as well
[Vibrant General] FooSchnickens:
Tried to flash hellybean today but couldn't get the radio working. Wifi worked fine but that doesn't help me to make calls. Hard to get any feedback when I'm still trying to get my 10 posts. Back to CM7 aka "battery killer" for now...
[Vibrant General] nht48823:
Chimera_v2.2_Vibrant by far is the best and stable and fast rom i run into.....
[Vibrant General] ketogeno:
Stick with ICS roms. They're working extremely well (mostly) and you can use Chrome which IMO is really convenient (it syncs with your PC).

I prefer ICZen. Fast, stable and clean. For me, it feels the same as SlimICS but looks much better. If you don't like customized ROMs try AOKP. It also works nice.

I DON'T RECOMMEND CM9 and MIUI4. They sometimes behave crazy. I loved the look of MIUI but it's not worth it.
[Vibrant General] iKoolkid:
For jellybean try hellybean nightlies, they are fast and awesome.

Sent from my Jellied out Vibrant sandwich.

Check out the Hellybean nightlies Here and here and the Devil Kernel for ICS here and Jelly Bean here for the Galaxy S and variants.
[Vibrant General] chui84:
have you tried Chimera v2.2 ???
[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
Almost any other current ics ROM should fix your problems. Why you've stuck with passion this long is a mystery. ^^
[Vibrant General] phone_noobie:
Just put it on my phone, look and feel is the same as Passion but is working a lot faster so thats a good thing

Cause I dont like to change ROM's every 2 weeks and wanna stick with one for a while. It had just gotten so bad that I had to switch but I hope Chimera is good for me for a while now
[Vibrant General] chui84:
yes it is bro!! any question on Chimers you can go to the website http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-vibrant or facebook page as well
[Vibrant General] dmcmillo:
I agree. Been running it for almost 3weeks on my Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] i n f a m o u s:
I'd highly recommend RemICS 1.3.1. if you dont mind TouchWiz. Personally for me, RemICS felt smoother than AOKP and CyanogenMod 9 and 10. There was also more memory available.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
The current Remics download will give you "no baseband". Apparently its not corrected by flashing a modem, it requires Odin back to stock to correct.

[Vibrant General] mikka06:
It's really funny how people with only couple of posts on xda can recommend a rom :D
[Vibrant General] rcsredmage:
It's really funny when people think that postcount defines user experience, not reading, understanding and using. Much people just use and have no problems. Why posting? And why not to adwise their experienced stable rom? I adwise to try MIUI, RemICS and HellyBean.
[Vibrant General] janac_84:
I have Chimera 2.2 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Vibrant and it works like a charm. of course I would recommend that...
[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
Of course you are right, and I agree with you that post count has next to nothing to do with general user experience...however, I can't help but wonder what's going on when we have members who have next to no posts, even though they have been members for months if not years and among the vast number of threads on various topics that they choose to abstain from posting within, they decide to suddenly post:

as if they simply cannot help but share their insight in this one area, even though they've had no desire or reason to do so prior to this ^^ Am I the only one that finds that a little bit odd? x] Maybe I'm just thinking too far into it lol
[Vibrant General] mikka06:
That's what i wanted to say...it's ridiculous how people with not more than 5 posts are spamming every thread concerning a particular rom and all of them saying the same sh@t. I'm that kind of user who replies only when i think i can help or i ask only when my research on Google or here can't succeed. But it's really strange to see people acting like that.
[Vibrant General] Toast6977:
Well in defense of some (maybe not all) people with low post counts that just pop in every once in a while to post.... I spent quite a bit of time without even creating a username, just reading and researching and trying out different ROMs. Just getting an overall feel for everything.

Even after creating my account it was a while before I posted anything, and still don't post all that much. I just try to make the posts I do make count, and not clutter up the forums with to much. Also, a lot of times people can answer their own questions with the search button or by googling, and if they get to lazy to do that, well I find myself being too lazy to help them be lazy. :D

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
Hey fellas,

Got my hands on the Speck FabShell case, this is a one-piece hybrid case that incorporates TPU and hard plastic into one. It takes a unique approach by adding a fabric backing to the plastic, not only for visual design and style benefits, but also for added grip. The case is pretty rock solid, so it offers great protection, but for a TPU case it is amongst the thickest I've used. Power button is a bit mushy, but easy to press for the most part - while the rest of the ports and cutouts are perfectly (amongst the best I've seen!).

Check out the full review below;

Also, most of the album art is embedded in the MP3 tags rather than a separate image in a folder, so I do not have this issue.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna_Sky:
My husband attempted to connect his Tab 2 7.0 to our desktop computer which runs Xubuntu 12 only to find he cannot transfer music or video files to the tab. I ran across the "[GUIDE] How to transfer files in Linux" thread, forwarded it to him, and he followed the directions given. Everything appears to have gone smoothly during the process, however Linux is still not recognizing the tablet or the tablet gives a (vague) error. We never had this trouble using the Samsung Galaxy Player as it would simply connect and we were good to go. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. If I need to give more details, let me know! Sorry if I am not providing enough information to start with.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffm5150:
I would suggest reading this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728486

Since ICS and Jelly Bean no longer support USB Mass Storage for file transfer (replaced by MTP) file transfers between Linux and ICS/JB are a little harder at the moment. I run Fedora 17 and am not able to drag/drop files from my PC to my tablet. Until the kinks are worked out I'm using scp to copy files. I installed "DropBear SSH Serfver" from the market, which is a good SSH server.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setialpha:
There is a tool called 'gmtp' that is a GNU/Linux UI for MTP-Filetransfer. It does not always connect to the tablet, though. But when it does, it works like a charm.

Ah... if you disable ADB, gmtp should more realibly connect to the tablet.

I'm currently trying out ADBFS.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dralanmage:
I'm a little disappointed with the decision to move to MTP, but I understand why they did it. In order to allow you to mount as mass storage, it has to first unmount the flash, which can cause issues if events come in and sounds (which exist on the flash) need to be played, etc.

Honestly, I just use a cheap NAS at home and use Astro to transfer files to and from it. I don't need to worry about cables this way. ;)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
Disclaimer: This worked on my phone. I am not responsible if your phone turns into an expensive brick.

I know this isn't quite the update everyone was waiting for :) I managed to pull the 2.3.6 OTA files. I also managed to figure out how to flash them. Turns out CWM 5 offers root adb access, everything we need to update and root this phone. Note I tried CWM 6 but it said "possible loss of root" so apparently CWM 6 likes to reside on an already rooted phone.

Note this is not the most elegant solution. The most elegant would be a signed update.zip. The second most elegant would be something flashable with CWM or Odin. Too bad I don't know how to do those. I do know how to do this.

The first thing to do is make sure you are on the AT&T stock firmware. It doesn't matter if you've already flashed something else. No need to wipe cache or factory reset or anything (although if you run into problems you should try to do that step). Download it from samfirmware.com. Flash it with Odin. This will put you on stock 2.3.5. Even if you were already on 2.3.6, or rooted, or on Rogers, this will work. After the flash, boot the phone normally, wait a minute or so, and shut it down.

Now for the fun part. AT&T will not push the OTA to a non AT&T customer. The flash will also not work with a modified phone (hence the reflash to stock). How to gain root access to manually flash the OTA? If we install root, it will not install. If we install CWM, we will not have the stock recovery which is required to process the OTA. So...

How about this? We install CWM 5. You can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458153

Then we adb into the phone, and push the OTA files, and then reflash the stock recovery over CWM, and then manually reboot into OTA mode. That sounds crazy... crazy enough to work.

After you've flashed CWM, reboot into it and make sure your phone is still connected to your computer. We won't actually be using CWM, just the root access it provides over adb. Unzip the two zip files below (why use external hosting, I can store zips up to 11 MB on here) into a folder and run fota.bat. Ooo and ahh over your Gingerbread.

But what about root? Well, I posted in another thread a complicated method for rooting 2.3.6 using the root access from CWM, but how about easy? Boot your phone into 2.3.6 and let it sit for a minute or so, and shut it down. Reboot into Odin mode, and reflash CWM over the stock recovery (again). Copy the Superuser zip from the folder you made earlier to your SD card. Flash this with CWM. This is the beta of Superuser 3.2, courtesy of Rom Manager. Download the stericson busybox app from the Market if you want busybox as well.

This was a fun way to kill a weekend :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] narume:
Throws a signature verification failed error.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
Try again with the new method :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] narume:
Had a few mild scares. After flashing CWM on stock, it refused to boot into it but after 3 tries and my screen acting up upon boot, it finally booted into CWM. Launched the bat file and it went well. Upon booting up and entering the update process, it froze up at 74% and refused to continue. Rebooted the phone and it once again entered the update process and this time it managed to finish. Phone rebooted and after checking "About phone", my phone is on 2.3.6 stock. When you initially provided the OTA files and the sig check failed, I had a good feeling this would be the only other way to do it as I tried to sign it and it also failed. Thanks for taking the time to post all of this.

Why go to 2.3.6? It´s better than 2.3.5 customized?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AraDreamer:
Better question: we're getting ICS within the month, so why bother with 2.3.6 when you can just upgrade to 4.x.x when it comes down?

-Ara
[Samsung Captivate Glide] narume:
Because there are some people who will want to stick with 2.3.5/6 . He made this so that those who do, can update to 2.3.6 even when they aren't with AT&T, almost hassle free.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
When I was testing this, I saw that behavior if you didn't completely boot up the phone between steps (ie, flash stock firmware, boot phone, flash CWM, boot phone). I don't know what would cause it otherwise. Glad to see your phone made it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
Actually I did it because I've owned this phone for exactly two weeks and discovered all the available ROMs are based on 2.3.5 even though 2.3.6 has been out since December. CWMR with root has been out since January, and since then nobody else has rooted 2.3.6 or found a way to flash it. And I thought, it couldn't be that hard? And even more amazed when I discovered CWMR comes with root out of the box, without even touching /system. The only other missing piece was the stock recovery, which also wasn't out in the wild. 3 birds for one stone :D

On a side note, if you want to do some cleaning after the OTA and you decide to root, you can delete /cache/fota and /data/fota safely.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] narume:
Ah, I see. Well, still, being able to flash to 2.3.6 is nice because if anyone ever decides to stick with 2.3.6 they can easily flash the update now. Maybe more people like you will pop up and start pushing out more useful content like this for the Glide so it won't be a dead area of development anymore.

Your purchases are tied to your Google Account not your Phone. You can change as many phones as you want, as long as you sign in with same Google ID, you will be able to download all your purchased applications. The only exception is if that game or application is not supported on your new phone, it will not show up.

For same phone, after formatting or rom flashing, the same principle applies. Sign in with same Google ID and you will be good to go.
