[Vibrant General] Woody:
You got Trolled dude.

There are a couple of things.

1. GPS Test Pro is a paid app. If it is in the ROM, then so be it but by you notating it and linking the actual download from Mediafire, that is not allowed. Put a link to the Play.Store for the app and a link to the ROM thread in there to safe guard yourself. By giving the Mediafire address, you are linking yourself to the ROM and the warez it contains. Guilt by association.

2. Asking for donations is also not allowed. So if we don't give you $1, then you won't look into other problems? Is that what I am getting out of that sentence? Just re-word it to something like, If I helped, then please donate. Otherwise it looks like a bounty (If, then statement).

3. Asking for thanks is ok and no big deal. Asking twice is not cool. Be cool. If it helps people out, they'll thank you. Plus, it isn't like "Thanks" are redeemable for cash or anything.

4. X was busting your nuts about bricking his devices but you should put something in there about making a Nandroid backup before you attempt this and change your title to include ICS/ EXROM specific because that is all you are referencing.

5. GPS fixes are abundent around here and the fact is the Vibrant was shipped with a faulty GPS antenna. Can't get too far around that other than doing the hardware fix. There is far more to it than just installing EXROM and deleting your GPS data via AngryGPS (which has been known for a very long time by now). There are build.prop edits, kernel dependent files, ROM properties,...what happens when you reboot or let your phone get in Depp Sleep. Most ROMs lose their GPS connectivity with either of those.

6. You say that you couldn't find anything about the fix but I did a search this morning and found these:

GPS fix files for ICS roms

CORRECT Hardware GPS Fix

Do you want to get quick GPS lock in CM7 (which you link abouve in Step 1)

GPS Settings and Fixes

That's not to mention "Yet Another GPS Fix" (YAGF) that I couldn't find plus countless posts in almost every ICS ROM thread there is.

Not to bash on you, but to make a definitive statement that you've fixed the GPS problem that has been plaguing this phone since launch day is kind of bold. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it's all in the delivery.

We value the community as a whole and you are part of this community, so please stick around.

After reading the OP i was all prepared to flame you to no end. But after seeing the posts where the boyz gave you a mild pounding followed by woodrube being so nice, i have decided to be benevolent. ...this time. But research first. There are a lot of experienced guys in the Vibe thread.

+1 ...

Imo, the title is misleading considering what's involved is simply using ExRom and two apps. Warez issue aside (see the posts above), the GPS issue is so hyped up for most Vibrant users that the letdown is almost imminent after reading the OP. Is it really a GPS "fix" (ie. infers something more appropriate in the Dev section) or just a guide on what rom / app combos work well?

Either specifically mention ExRom in your title or simply make your comments in that dev thread (once you pass the min post req) and add to the development there.

( I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm for sharing but rather want to emphasize considering the reader's perspective )

Wise words to heed. Credit is given where it's due ... it's gotta be earned first. N00B or not, it takes time to develop your XDA street cred.

Thanks or donations should have nothing to do with wanting to help your fellow users. It's simply a by-product and can affirm the respect earned & contributions made. Coming out as a self-proclaimed N00B and immediately asking for thanks & donations ... it just doesn't jive well here (or anywhere).

Look at the profiles of the people who've posted here: Woodrube, xrider, dougfresh, lapdog101, N00B_IN_N33D ... all these guys have rock solid reputations on XDA. They've invested a lot of time & energy to helping others and have accordingly earned the respect of others.

As Woodrube mentioned, thanks or no thanks ... why make it a big deal right off the bat? It simply looks self-serving and immediately offends those who've paid their dues. The bottom line is no one is outright doing it for another notch on their belts. Let things happen organically ... and earn it first.

There's really no need to direct people to do this. You'll get feedback regardless. Plus, it probably rubs folks the wrong way. My humble $.02

--------

Btw ... to make your comments easier to distinguish, I'd suggest against wrapping your comments in quote tags. Otherwise, it looks like you just posted quotes from others. Not everyone will take the time to decipher which are your actual words.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Since the trolling is over I might as well confess, none of my friends own a Windows phone. More importantly a Windows phone can't run ICS. That picture I uploaded of "my friend's phone" was photoshoped by me. Just look at the date on the lock screen. We're in August, not October. :p

Although Woodrube already pointed out the areas of concern, in which there are quite a few, I still applaud you for trying to be helpful. Even if it's about a topic that already has many guides for it. Sorry for messing with you dude. :o

Nokia with Android

A Nokia Hardware with Android?? The mobile world cannot reach into that perfection...:(

The Vibrant series was the Samsung assault to all consumers that believed on the brand, after 2 years of regular use, here`s the status:

- Front facing camera - NEVER worked...

- 4 months of use - GPS definetly stopped working (never have worked properly since 0km), then after I decided to Root it ;)

- 1 year - Battery was not holding up to 2 hours of continuous use (or 6 in standby- 2G!!).

- 1,5 years - My External SD disappeared from the system (I had to transfer it, via USB, to the internal SD).

- 2,1 years - My internal SD crashed and external got back to work. Lost all my infos in it.

- After 1 month of endless browsing in this awesome forum and 200 times flashing to stock and poping-up batteries, I finally managed it to work on the External SD only (thanks to your vold.fstab .zip!).

Lucky ours that Android is a fully flexible and versatile system, otherwise my phone (and many othe members) would be good already for fixing bouncy tables.

I always had Nokias, but decided give a try on Samsung by a friend`s (not anymore) advice... If Nokia ever lauch an Android alternative (or if some genius manage to crack the widows bootloaders and kernels), I'll definitely give it a try.:fingers-crossed:

I had a hd2, but I bought my friends tmo samsung galaxy s2. At the moment I can only access the internet through wifi, when I try to go online with just the phone with my plan it comes up.. your data plan does not support this device. Anyway I can get around that and still be able to use my 3g data with this phone or do I have to actually update my plan to 4g for this phone in order to get data again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] esteho:
Have you tried going into advanced settings and turning off 4g? The settings would be accessible from the phone dial pad with a particular code.... Something like *#0011# I can't remember the exact code but if you poke around for it I'm sure it's been posted before.

edit. Just thought about it for another second... You would probably have to tell the phone to use edge only. Not sure it would work, but I am sure it would suck. I would look for it in the settings, but if my girl woke up and I was rummaging through her phone I might look like a creep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Hmm you must be on the old grandfather data plan. TMobile blocks any of their 4g devices from utilizing it. If you want to continue using your old data plan you would need the telus version i think.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
I would try the different apn people use to get around throttling; in the Hd2 days, data was 3 different packages: smartphone (windows devices), G1 (which would eventually become Android), and BlackBerry; if you mismatched them, your data would be touch and go at best.

Back then it was an easy fix; to do so now, you'd have to have them change your plan to the new ones WHICH WILL EXTEND YOUR CONTRACT LENGTH but will not affect your upgrade eligibility.

The hd2 is still such an amazing phone.

i really hope u can at least give it a look at guides made by our fellow forumers and ask questions accordingly when u got stuck on certain steps or something. tpbklake provides useful link there, why dun y have a look first.

im not a pro, but i think most important of all u need to know what rooting is all about, if u want to go along the easy way, then just unlock ur device through htcdev, flash custom recovery, and flash a pre-rooted rom available (most of them are pre-rooted).

----------

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by

both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg fist). I believe unrevoked and

AlpahRev were also aware of it.

----------

Usage:

--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on

ce after your last factory reset.

--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.

--root : Root the phone.

--undo : Remove TacoRoot.

Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same tim

e, and reboot the system.

[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
That's not the file he linked. That is my downgrade script which will not work on your hboot version unless your phone is rooted.

Your also describing a stock recovery, you need a custom recovery to flash the superuser file that naathaanb96 linked. Copy his file to your sdcard.

link to custom recovery http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img flash this using

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img

reboot into bootloader

fastboot reboot-bootloader

and select recovery from the bootloader menu. When the recovery loads select install zip from sdcard and choose the superuser zip file you copied earlier and confirm. When that completes, reboot and you're rooted.

Another Question, I have not yet unlocked the bootloader from HTCDev.com; Before that i would like to get

clarified on following

My Device is running on HTC 4.0.4 ICS with HBOOT 2.02.002 -- it can be unlocked only from HTCDev.com

1. Before ICS update, All Bootloader are unlocked other than HTCDev.com. What are the disadvantage on unlocking from HTCDev.com

2. I have installed the HTC Sync which is came along with my mobile. I Came to know, i need to uninstall HTC Sync keeping the Drivers.

Can i use the HTCSync Drivers instead from this link?

Install HTCDriver3.0.0.007

Download

http://db.tt/9S4iEsg3

3. I am currently having problem with installing any application (.apk) from File Manager. The install button is disabled :( But when i cleared the media storage, i can install from file manager. But its temporary fix. But I CAN install only from Market.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1643065.html

This make me much worried,

During rooting process, i need to install various files (Say, superuser.apk), will this problem in my mobile cause the rooting process to fail?

OR Installing from ADB is different so that i can install and rooting wont be interrupted.

Please help me.. I am worried about point 3, mentioned above.

Thanks mark, will give a try :)
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
As you already installed htcsync you wont need to install other USB drivers as the htcsync drivers will remain even if you uninstall it. In fact, you don't actually have to uninstall it, you can just exit the program from your taskbar. I mentioned it in the tutorial only as a precaution, anything trying to interface with the handset could interfere with adb daemon operation.

You don't need to use tpbklakes guide anymore as I have integrated that process into the script.

If you need help with the s-off process, the best place to post is in the scripts thread, I'll be able to respond much faster.

Be aware that s-off is not root, it is setting the security flag to off which enables access to all partitions, you will have to flash superuser or a custom Rom to get root access.

If you cannot install APK's from file manager, it might mean that you have not checked ALLOW NON MARKET APPS in your settings. I think it's in your development menu.

2. I have already allowed THIRD Party non market apps. But the problem is different, in package installer screen the install button is disabled. Temporary solution is clearing the data in the media application solves the issue. But its The temporary. Whether this will have impact while flashing any files while scripting is executing?
