It should not take anything special for the rom to boot. It is a slow 1st boot with the 3 scenes of the boot animation repeating.

As Doug said the GB bootloader is much easier. Now I think you are already using them as you described a green android guy.

If so the combo is power & volume down for recovery

Power & volume up for download mode.

For Each release the keys @ the screen of the green android.

Right on the money as usual.

So I woke up and decided I wanted to try flashing it one more time.... and it BOOTED! I was on the CM10 4.3 ROM, so I booted to Recovery, wiped data, flashed ROM, flashed GPS fix (which I've never bothered doing as I know my city:silly: ), flashed Gapps, wiped Cache & Dalvik and then rebooted... It's at the Setup screen now, just letting it settle for a few. So excited!

Question, though, and forgive me J, I hope this isn't disrespectful at all--

While I was going through the aforementioned procedure, I was online looking for more 4.3 ROMs for the Vibrant since I never go anywhere but here for development (unless one of our teams has a facebook page that they use for their updates now). Anywho, I found this JellyBAM link that was for the GS 2, BUT... I had seen it available for one of my homie's devices and figured why not check to see what they have for Vibrant? Well, they have TWO current releases for our phone, JellyBAM 10.2 and 10.3.. I can't seem to find what Android version they're based off of, cause apparently, people don't want to know that -________________________-

Anyone know? Pac-Man and Carbon are my first-choice ROMs, but since they're still in Unofficial build territory, I wanted one to fall back on, in case I need to.. Anyone know what 10.2 and 10.3 are based off of?

http://get.jellybam.com/vibrantmtd

Dunno if posting that link is inappropriate, sorry if so. Just curious.

Edit: NVM, I found out, at the very least, 10.3 and up is 4.3. But yo, J-man, JellyBam is compiled of AOKP, CM, PAC-MAN, Paranoid and I think one other major ROM. Did you help with it or was your source just built from?

BTW, THIS.. ROM.. IS.. AMAZING. Oh, I've loved Pac-Man for some months and it's like I just renewed my wedding vows. Props.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
I may be wrong but I think I remember something about jellybam or could have been a different one not being welcome on xda because of uncredited work use.

As for the Vibrant flash no need for a gps fix as it is in the source code during compilation.

And all I have worked on is the gps fix & boot up error for the Vibrant. All the roms & kernels are the work of others.

[Vibrant Android Development] Iam2Smooth:
^Exactly! I'm loving everything about this build, actually. I don't want to jinx anything, as I've had a rough weekend with my phone, but I can't imagine what bugs could exist on here that'd make it an Alpha build. J, I hope you have an S4, cause when I upgrade, I don't want to have to miss your work, bruh. :good:

I have no power button so if my phone dies I use odin to flash the gb bootloaders to get it to boot with auto reset ticked. If it doesnt boot into the rom, "adb reboot recovery" usually works.

That's the difference between the two slim is simple and out of the box reduced dpi PA & PAC have pa-prefs so you can set up whatever you like for each app and/or the whole rom.

I could set it up so that it looks like slim but that is not the standard nor what everyone would want. If you want a rom that can be as versatile as pac expect to have to put in the time to setup the way YOU like it.

Also remember to go to tools and set expert mode, for all the options.

Awesome! Downloading now. One question, though: Does it matter which 4.3 Gapps I find and download? Because the given link led me to a page that said "The file doesn't exist", so I searched more gapps on Goo.Im and landed here...

http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130926-signed.zip

Good to go or should I find a smaller Gapps file since this ROM zip is already.. sizable??

BTW, is the ~150 MB size usual for 4.3 ROMs now? I've noticed ROM sizes (in general) slimmed down from 4.0, then started getting bigger again around 4.2.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
That gapps should work well. Rom size can be anywhere from 100 to 200mb depending on what is packaged in it.

Yo, J.. Just flashed ROM and it's about done settling.. About to check it iNout *Stevie J handrub*

Since I used the last version for the last week, where do I report the things I've noticed during usage? It's really only three or four irksome happenings I've dealt with on this ROM, which I find quite impressive for an Alpha build. Or do I really need to start doing that "logcat" and whatever else I see mentioned around here? I've never bothered to do that before.. Would that be better for your reviewing it that way as opposed to me saying somethin like--

One thing I've noticed is the ROM kills Swype's responsiveness sometimes. After it's on for a few hours, the [Swype] keyboard (No other one, funnily enough) has a tendency to disappear and will take a long time to reappear upon summoning. Restarting the phone fixes the issue. Seeing as how this only happens on Pac-Man ROMs + Swype, you think it's coding somewhere the conflicts? I know Pac-Man was a part of Carbon, right? But I didn't encounter it on that one, either.

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
I don't think pac & carbon have any ties, but as for the problems let's go from this point forward.

Thumbs Up!!!!

Keep in mind after first use it needs to be tweaked a bit and then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Use Semaphore Manager from Google Play to tweak kernel settings

Mines so far are, SmartAss , SmartAss Smooth UI, NO-OP or SIO. No OC ( my preference).

Under ROM Voltage Control set MIN @ 100 MBs

Under development settings, background processes set to 2 ( don't forget that each time you reboot, it has to reapplied again to 2). Every Rig is different so results may vary ;)

Of course not, but I've actually switched to Slim rom for now because the lack of RAM made my phone unusable :( And from what I'm reading people are still having the occasional soft reboot, "blame Tyler" crashes, etc. Surely it can be lightened a bit? I found that there were a lot of unnecessary services popping up, like the Voice+ thing even after I disabled it.

Still love this rom a lot, but my phone was feeling unusable with no ram left.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
Agreed, I don't even use pac with my n4. I found that a cleaner rom just has a better feel. If I can get it to build for the Vibrant I may release if I can get permission. I will have to overcome the errors if I can it may be a great rom for the vib.

that's really interesting - it's still sluggish on nexus 4? What a shame! It has such a potential as a rom. What rom do you use on Vibrant?

One thing I wanted to say about this version of this rom is that it's the only one yet that doesn't have terrible issues with GPS. I'm experiencing terrible battery draining on Slim if I leave it on. I was able to use GPS in the first time for a very long time and it was gerat.

I 1st left pac to use slim, I was very happy with the rom but one of the updates conflicted with a mod I was using so I left only to find out it was my fault.

I've had to switch back to Pac for now, since the nightly slim that I installed had some serious issues (rebooting into recovery randomly and draining battery, as well as GPS being messed up). I actually did miss it, so don't stop making updates :) Looking forward to when you switch to Semaphore kernel - or can I flash it already? I really really need that extra ram boost from big mem.

Did you not get the latest version it should have semaphore?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Vibrant Android Development] XDAcat62:
Just realized that. I got a version with the CM kernel. What changes have been made on the version with sempahore? It sounded like you were going to lighten things up further so I was waiting for that?

Also just answered my own question - since I need my phone today I just flashed semaphore over the CM kernel and it seems to be working fine. Hopefully that bigmem boost will really help.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
It should help

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Vibrant Android Development] XDAcat62:
was i right in thinking you have another lighter version in the works so I can hold off? I guess I installed the alpha and forgot there was an update since then. This actually runs fine (with a few crashing hiccups), but honestly way better than that slim nightly, so with the semaphore kernel I might as well just hold off until the next version so I can do a clean flash.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Update: I have a totally decent amount of ram available on Semaphore! Around 128, with the services I disabled. Whew! This should run much better today.

Also Vanir sounds interesting - thinking of doing a port to Vibrant? We could use some more minimal roms.
