Smile [Q] Uprading to 4.2.1 Galaxy S Vibrant

Hello,

I was following step by step how to installe 4.2.1 jelly bean on my Samsung Galaxy Vibrant.

androidjinn.com/install-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-4.html

I am having errors rooting using Super One Click. Locking up and Not responding... or just starting the process and not finishing.... anyways, i used another program to root called GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models. It ran fine, and then I proceeded to complete steps.. I got as far as getting to actually install the ZIP files named gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip and Hellybean-20121202-vibrantmtd.zip during recovery step at phone starting up using Volume up and down and holding the powerbutton on till 2nd reboot screen logo then let go.

Problem is from here i only get these options (i thought they should be new cuz of Root being used)

Reboot system now

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data

format internal sd card

Seems to me that I have completed steps 1 - 5 and there is no option for steps 6 and 7 which were data/factory reset or install zip from sdcard.

Then perform data wiping task. To do so, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm your action. Wait few minutes till the data wipe is completed. Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Now, locate the Hellybean-20121202-vibrantmtd.zip file that you copied earlier in Step 2 and select it by pressing Power button. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM installation will begin.

This phone generally gets a little bogged down after some use.... no smooth screens , I would really like to have it running faster from this update.

If you suggest a newer version than 4.2.1 please let me know.. And I will download the different file... (just have to tellme which one to replace.)

Thank you so much, you guys are the best!!!

I almost hate myself for such a cliche question, but I'm curious.

I flash ROMs/kernels/updates all the time, so it is hard to judge battery life. If there is anyone unlike me that actually let's their phone go a couple days on a ROM and can give details about battery life, I'd love to hear it. Personally, my vote is Carbon.

As far as I know, nobody asked this about the DNA, so I don't want to hear it.

Thanks for any input!

The new Maps is very buggy and missing a lot of features i use. (not talkin about Latitude. i don't use that)

edit:

Maps (old layout) 6.14.4

http://www.sendspace.com/file/pjsv96
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
I dont have it off hand, but just download any rom older than a few weeks and extract it from system/app. Just make sure the play store isnt set to auto update your apps though :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phuzznut:
i've been running liquid smooth and it didn't come with maps apk in the rom, I had always downloaded it from the play store...

I would really like the apk for maps as well :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Thebear j koss:
Go to team blackout's website. They have an inverted version.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Or just Google "Google maps apk" I'm sure an older version will show up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Nabeel10:
Is the new one THAT bad? What do y'all think?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've got a pretty recent one. I'll try to remember to post it when I get home.

A lot of people have had several issues with this latest update. Google was forced to revert at least one change within a couple days of its release.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Maps 6.14.3

Here you go. Google Maps 6.14.3. Pulled from the latest T999V update released a week or so ago. Extract it first!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chipis:
Agree bro..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorePAIN:
Just go in to settings> application manager> all tab> Google maps then uninstall update

So simple...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
yeah. that option isn't available on my phone.

my sister hated the new update, but the "uninstall updates" WAS available on her phone. wonder why it's not avail on my phone.

but anyways, thank you SO MUCH for the link!

most roms don't come with google based apps, they all use the "gapps"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
Edit: found a newer version. i think this was the most recent version before the new layout

6.14.4

http://www.sendspace.com/file/pjsv96

oh how beautiful the UI looks. thank god i have it back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Fyi guys, someone around here said google released another update that fixed a lot of issues people had. Cant remember who or where, but figured I'd mention it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Qverse:
I uninstalled it completely ..and refused the update. The new update was very buggy and seem to constantly send data back . But just the fact that a force feed us this version pissed me off . One of there main things Google did was removing Latitude (as of Aug. 1st ) . Which I used a lot to keep track of my kids and family, the technology is still there but can only be used on Google Hangout (very buggy). But who really knows why it is they do this things like this...Just buggy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpmccormick:
I have just reverted it on the desktop as well, such a relieve to have the old stuff back.... at least while they let us.

I came looking here to revert the phone apk (blackout is the easy way and awesome). Google messed up sooo bad on this one. Like I search for a chain, and it shows me them one at a time with me having to swipe through them (in seemingly random order as some are up to 40mi away sandwiched in between others that are 2-4mi away, and the one that is only 0.7mi away is 10 swipes away). The old maps just shows you a map with YOU in the center and pins for the 10 results closest to you. When I am "on-the-go" why would I want to instead have the map of the first result you choose at random, which may or may not include my location, and then have to swipe through results while I mentally figure out where each one is in relation to me??? It is just ludicrous! The new maps may be great for casual browsing at home, but I use maps for location-based productivity, there are plenty of other apps for Where should I go / eat / buy. Make the new Maps for tablets and leave my phone and desktop Maps alone (or make them more productive, not less!!!)

Other examples of failure:

- I tell it to navigate somewhere and it shows me a full screen route-list, even if there is only one. Then, after I select that route I want, it shows me that route and I have to click Go before the navigation actually begins. The old version: I instantly get navigation and can choose alternate routes if I want. The new version is dangerous to use while driving. The old one is 100% hands free. WTF Google?

- You used to be able to use Google Now to say "Map of ..." or "Navigate to ..." which does not work correctly anymore.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you reported all of this to google?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpmccormick:
Yes, through multiple different PCs/Apps. I just did a survey they sent to me for switching from New to Old on Desktop.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Cool, hopefully enough people will complain and they will fix it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dogahn:
I'd like to see that, but I doubt it. Likely they'll look at us and ask why we havn't updated our phones.

Really wanted to thank the folks on here who pulled the APK, Maps 7 just doesn't work at all on my EVO 3D, it flickers, the prompts are scrambled, it can only function in landscape mode... this is on top of the, slower, feature hidden, beauty update nonsense. So thanks again.

Dogan

I've played beta games with less bugs than this ****e.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpmccormick:
I have the old Maps, and I've tried multiple copies of Google Now, but still when I say "Navigate to Target" it shows me Google results for that search instead of opening Navigation and auto routing to the nearest Target.

I really, really miss "Map of [...]" and "Navigate to [...]". I want to be able to do this from google now which is always one button away, not have to open the map program first, click search, then click mic, then say "Target", then click the nearest one, then click navigate. (at least it is not 4 more steps anymore like it was with the new maps)

Please, can someone figure out how to get this simple command working as it used to?

-------------------

Edit: Nevermind I guess... mine just started working again. I complained here and in one other thread, then I tried "Navigate to Texas" as I was going to post a screen shot of how that same search that worked for another didn't work for me, and to my surprise it worked. Now it is working every time just how it used to. Very strange. I swear it was not working for me from like 2 months ago until 30min ago. I'm just glad it is back.

I've noticed something recently, same on my and my wife's S4s.

In the S4 stock calendar, you can't remove reminders for meetings that others have set. I've always done this in the stock Google calendar, when I had a meeting that I wanted to keep on my calendar but didn't want a reminder for.

I'm assuming this is just a missing feature or defect, but just in case, does anyone have a work-around?

I'm going to download and install the Google calendar and use that to remove reminders, but I'd prefer to do everything in the stock S4 calendar.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] virus786:
Hey XDA :cowboy: .

I have a weird question.

I work at a place where we are implementing WIFI at certain private schools. (This is for middle school kids). Each kid gets a nexus 7 tablet. (I'm not 100% sure if the child is allowed to use his/her own tablet right at this moment).

So lets assume they all have nexus devices which is the schools property and stays at the school strictly for school use by the kids.

When they are connected to WIFI they will be on a student only VLAN and by default ONLY have access to the student repository hosted on site at each school which contains the content they work/learn with. Internet access will be granted as needed.

All of this has been sorted, planned out and configured at the network level.

One of the requests though from our client is the ability to force DISABLE any kind of GSM radios on the tablets.

So that the kids cannot circumnavigate the WIFI and ultimately have un-monitored internet access at school (through GSM).

We have looked at solutions such as www.mobileiron.com and www.air-watch.com but we are not 100% sure this will work for us, and it is quite expensive (seems to be more aimed at the corporate world).

Perhaps any input from the XDA community?

Any input / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Does anyone have the problem of extreme choppyness and lag when zooming into a photo in the gallery and panning around?

It also seems to happen in quickpic too, and it's very strange indeed. Also quite embaressing when showing your mates a photo and its lagging like hell.

This isn't a problem on the HTC Evo 3d and One S, and tbh any other recent phone I've had. Seems to be Samsung specific and it has persisted on different roms. I'm currently stock 4.1.2 rooted.

Any suggestions? It seems ridiculous how Samsung have not corrected this.
[Galaxy Note II General] darkteb:
Do you by any chance turn on power saving mode?
[Galaxy Note II General] xantrk:
I have the same, it isnt lag while wifi or 3g is off that much , a bug i think
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Nope

Just seems to be a bug. Do you not have this problem? Power saver mode is on on my HTC One S and it's smooth as butter when panning a photo.
[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
Tick force gpu rendering in developer settings, it's a quick fix at least.
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:

But I already had it ticked :what:
[Galaxy Note II General] darkteb:
I am not on stock rom and the gallery in Slim Bean 7 works fine with me.
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted but no such problem
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Very strange then. I have had it from the beginning.

I'm on the LTE version though
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
Yes I have this too.

While my nexus 7 with the crappy Tegra SoC doesn't lag at all when viewing photos. Makes me think it's only samsung's terrible rom optimization/drivers...

Does AOSP/CM roms have this issue as well?
[Galaxy Note II General] Kartik pat:
Yes it lags for me also. I have 2000-3000 photos in gallery and it lags:(

I'm on stock 4.1.2 with root, and im using 64gb SanDisk ultra.
[Galaxy Note II General] artorelis:
Man, are you sure that Samsung is responsible for everything you did on your rooted phone? Where's your responsibility?

I'm still sitting on 4.1.1 (stock) and everything is ok, no lag (except when go into Widgets and when you clean your RAM). :)
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Yeah I am sure it is Samsung/the rom. I've done nothing much at all on my rooted phone and this also occurs after a fresh non rooted wipe and also on the 4.1.1 rom. Rooted or unrooted, and fresh from a wipe.

This does not happen on my HTC ONE S or any other HTC Android phone I have had. Rooted or unrooted. The gallery app in general is laggy as hell too but I'll put that down to how many photos I have.

The lag I'm refering to is related to when you pan around a zoomed photo which was taken with the phone camera. And this also applies to non-stock gallery apps.

Will not be taking any responsibility here whatsoever and fully lay the blame at Samsung's door.
[Galaxy Note II General] Elvecio:
Nope.

I bought my XDA I new three days ago, the first day it worked fine, although I didn't use it much (just played around with PocketWord and Solitaire...). The next day the touch screen simply stopped working. I wasn't doing anything unusual. Doesn't matter how lightly or firmly I touch the screen with the stylus, it doesn't respond at all... It has basically made the device useless. Has anyone heard of anything like this, or know of a fix for it?

Thanks very much for your help!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] yixiu:
have you try to reset the XDA?

I will reset the XDA see what happen. Softreset first, if it doesn't work, try hard reset( you will loss everything in the memory, so make a backup if you can).

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] parker:
Thanks for your reply, I have tried resetting both soft and hard, neither work. Now I am back to the original 'Tap the screen to setup your PocketPC' message I had when I first used my phone 3 days ago. This screen still isn't responding at all...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
Have you fitted a screen protector by any chance,, this can stop the taps working. If not then it looks like a hardware failure as you havent messed with the rom or anything.

try to run a bootloader test and post the result here

Hi can you run a bootloader test see if the hardware is working?

1. hold the power button while softreset the device.

2. click the middle button on the middle button(action button)

3. run a touch test and you will know if your hardware is ok or not.

4. Also can you please do me favor, while you inside the bootloader test screen, can you please also run a Battery test for me. My XDA is currently having a problem.see my post below.

BATTERY TEST

CHARGE STATUS

AC OUT

MAIN VOLTAGE:

0X0257 --> THIS NUMBER IS KEEPS GOING DOWN????

EXT. VOLTAGE:

0X0000 --> i DON'T HAVE A EXTERNAL BATTERY

CHG. vOLTAGE:

0X0000 --> THIS SEEMS NORMAL WHEN THE UNIT IS RUNNING ON BATTERY BUT IF I PLUG IT BACK INTO THE CRADDLE, IT STILL SHOWS 0X0000. VERY STRANGE. AND THE AC OUT WILL CHANGE TO ERROR!!!

CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE TEST RESAULT FROM YOUR XDA. IS THE MAIN VOLTAGE STILL KEEPING GOING DOWN WHILE USING THE BATTERY POWER. AND WHAT'S YOUR READING ON THE CHG.VOLTAGE:

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

SAM
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] parker:
Thanks for the replies everyone, unfortunately I took it back to Optus before I read your post Sam. There was no protector, it must have just been a hardware failure. I ran the touch test a few times, all but once it failed. It was working on and off so I assume theres a loose wire or something similar. It was under warranty still (lucky considering it came off eBay) but does mean it'll be gone for three weeks :(

Hi, i have rooted my phone with success. Managed to change it to 2.2 and back to 2.3.5 but both Clockworkmod recovery and 2ndInit does not install as bootloader (pressing power on + vol down key).

I always get the original android bootloader.

Any clue on how to bypass it and install the bootloader so I can install CM10 ?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turffe:
I see you're n00b. So first I suggest you to read Defy begginers guide. 2nd - defy bootloader is locked, so you can't replace stock bootloader & recovery. So we bypassing it via 2ndinit & 2ndboot. 3rd - you can install custom rom via 2ndinit.apk.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephtban:
Hello,

"turffe" is right. before doing all that i advice you to understand what you do.

read the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide and the wiki

... and check if you are really rooted using Root Checker

if you are, you just have to install a custom recovery (with 2ndInit Recovery Installer if you want) and then the rom of your choice.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maslusp:
I belive i have managed to install if after a few hours. The 2.3 version of 2ndInit is not working, but the version 2.0 did work on my first attempt.

So, if someone is also experiencing problems trying to install bootloader, try a previous version :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cytality:
So here's a scrub question... I'm worried about possibly bricking my S4 and all that, as it's my only one. I want to see if Android Kitchen will work the jfltespr variant of the S4 after the update, so what I did was take a SlimBean ROM that I already know works on my phone as it, and I loaded it in the kitchen, then recompiled it again so I can flash it.

The only difference is now it's a "kitchen" ROM, so it has the potential to not work.

So with that said... if I attempt to flash a ROM with TWRP and something bad happens, what's the worst that could happen to my phone? I'll always be able to get back to recovery and flash again, right? Or can a custom ROM screw up have the potential to destroy my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gharlane00:
As long as you can get it to boot into download mode you can always fix any disaster. If you find a way to hard brick it through flashing you will be in new territory..

This phone is very hard to brick. You are always good if you can get into download mode or recovery. There are possibilities of losing a Meid # or something, but I don't see that happening, but I guess it could be possible depending on what you are doing.
