[Vibrant General] kingkesi:
hey guys I'm down to join the dev team. I haven't done much Java since college (8 yrs back) but I program in C/C++ daily on my job. I haven't done the kernel stuff but I'm more than willing to learn that and brush up on my Java as well.

I'll be getting the phone on the 15th as well.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Thanks for all the interest in this phone. For those of you planning on building CM6 for this phone, that is where I was planning on starting.

Just to let everyone know that I will mainly be doing this after 4:30 P.M. PDT, and weekends since I am active duty marine corps, and stationed out here in California. My job in the Marines requires me to know how to do some of the coding necessary for this.

I was planning on starting up an IRC channel, probably tonight, and anyone that is interested can meet up there and we can talk about things. I will make a post here, android central, and probably the cyanogen forums when I get everything started.

I'm excited to be doing this, and again thanks for all the interest.
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
count me in for some basic programming, I'll help where I can, but between school and work idk how much that will be. I will definitely be getting my Vibrant on the 15th, and I have built froyo from source before just to see if I could get that setup no problem.

I have experience in c++ and java, so hopefully I'll be of some use. but kernel work is definitely new to me
[Vibrant General] efbenson:
Im game for a IRC channel. Let me know and Ill try to Idle when I can. I would be working on it late night EST time so we might jive.
[Vibrant General] wafflescantalk:
Hmmm

If anyone needs testers pm me cause I am dying to get into deving for this phone. I don't know how to code or anything, but I do know basics. Owned a G1/MT3G/Cliq and hacked the hell out of all of them. Should be ordering my Vibrant right now with UPS 3 day. But seriously, I'd love to test once everyone gets their roms cooked up
[Vibrant General] justanothercrowd:
its nice that Samsung is giving us source so quickly. I'm already in love with my Vibrant. I have plenty experience with kernel compilation and complete ROM cooking from source. We need a Vanilla ROM for this beast of a phone
[Vibrant General] toeshot:
Nice to see you back here. Haven't seen you aroound since the Drizzy days.

Not sure if I want to root yet or not. If I do I can do testing and help with kernel, little rusty with the kernel though.
[Vibrant General] TGA_Gunnman:
had a g1 just got my vibrant this morning.
[Vibrant General] jroid:
ahhh jac, your work for the G1 was excellent, glad to see you've gotten a vibrant :) really lookin forward to roms from u if u plan on cookin them!!
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
Dude welcome. A JAC Vibrant rom would be pretty sick.

I didn't think I'd dig it, but the Vibrant is possible the best device I've ever used.
[Vibrant General] yincrash:
i'm interested in helping to cook a vanilla 2.2 ROM.

i'm a Java (previously C++) dev, with a couple of linux and windows machines laying around my apt.
[Vibrant General] drewtang:
I'm getting my vibrant on monday, not really set up to program, but am willing to test...
[Vibrant General] ebg10:
I am a developer with a lot of experience in Java and android and some in C/C++/Linux. I would be glad to help make a vanilla rom for the vibrant. I picked up a vibrant the morning it was released and have not been able to put it down. The only thing that could make this phone better is a vanilla rom or a cyanogenmod rom. Lets get it started!
[Vibrant General] justanothercrowd:
It looks like we have all the drivers we need, now we just need to get a vendor tree setup for this phone and either port Cyanogens modded source or vanilla AOSP source and thats it.

I havent played with the bootloader much yet but I'd like to get a good recovery working with NANdroid. A Must.,
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Not that I wasn't satisfied with this phone already, JAC having one makes it even better! :D Look forward to seeing what you pull off with this phone. I'm actually determined to "dev" in this phone. Looks like you may be teaching me a few things. ;)
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Got really tired of WM6.5 after 3 years and i ordered my first android device, Samsung Vibrant, coming in next week. Hope to learn a little from you guys, looking forward for a cooked ROM, thanks :)

StefanB.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
coming from a G1/mytouch 3g it's good to see JAC here with a vibrant. Looking forward to see what you have coming for this device.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
For those interested, I will be in Google Wave this weekend, basically all weekend looking for help with getting the port of CM6 working on the Vibrant. Any help anyone can give me I will greatly appreciate, have only played around a little bit before with cooking up a ROM.

EDIT: gothdroid@googlewave.com is the address for the Google Wave idea.
[Vibrant General] kusotare:
Gothdroid, another thing I'd recommend would be to get in the cyanogenmod IRC channel and let the guys in there help you out. Most of the guys who have done ports to other phones hang out in there all the time.
[Vibrant General] ryanolson7:
Sounds like we have a lot of great people down to get some cooked ROMs up and running on the vibrant! i'm about to trade 2 nexus ones for like 3 vibrants and a blackberry.. so soon i'll have a free vibrant ;]

i haven't had too much experience with cooking ROMs but i'm a senior at WSU going into computer science.. so i have a lot of experience with java and c++/c/linux.

i'll be down to help as much as i can to get some great ROMs out there for everyone

Ryan
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Ryan, the more the better, find me on wave and we'll start things
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
So..... how about that IRC channel?

I'm really interested in seeing what we can manage to do with this thing.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
the IRC channel is #Vibrant on irc.freenode.net

[Fascinate General] bojangalz:
So I've been going back and forth about which Android phone is going pop my cherry and I've decided to allow myself to be deflowered by either the X or Fascinate. I'm in the midst of an ugly break-up with my Touch Pro (I know, I'm due) and it's about time to send that phone packing.

I've got a bit of trepidation about the X's size... It might be too big for me. I may want to ease myself into this, ya know. (in all seriousness I'm not sure that thing will fit into the shirt pocket on my uniform while I'm at work)

But I've heard rumors that the fascinate is dirty. From what I've seen it's got Bing's disease. Please tell me that someone here will have a prescription for that shortly after it hits the market.
[Fascinate General] brickbeats:
it may be a option...

Maybe its just an option for search providers. This will also be my first, I will be moving up from a moddoded Omnia 910
[Fascinate General] peperonikiller:
I got a chance to see the X the other day when I went into the verizon store, they had it activated and made it a big deal I was being able to see it by taking me into the back room. I must say, its big.. but it should fit into a shirt pocket.. at least width wise lol. Looking at the specs for the Fascinate and everything I really dont find it all that special. That being said, I will be the owner of an X by the end of the week :O
[Fascinate General] Roland Deschain:
The Galaxy S has already been rooted, not like it's hard to replace the launcher and everything and use your own search provider.
[Fascinate General] bizzshow26:
Wonder what you mean by not all that special because spec wise it stands at the top of the heap with the droidx. And if your speaking about the higher spec camera, that's been out done by the iPhone. Or the 3 mics. Remember this has a smaller but better screen. Better processor and gpu and its footprint is smaller. Don't get me going on the hardware locked bootloader the x has. All in all I will get this in a second screw Bing
[Fascinate General] sprintrjm:
omg

i cannot believe the people that are dancing around like little girls because there is a "bing" search widget.

Holy ****, seriously. Just delete the widget off the front screen and use a google widget..

This kind of stupidity makes me sad for the human race. To quote Fight Club, " A generation of men raised by women".
[Fascinate General] hexto:
Thanks. I couldn't agree more. I've been toying with the idea of getting this phone and here and other forums have people complaining about Samsung's decision to go with Bing like we can't do anything about it. You don't even need root to get rid of Bing
[Fascinate General] Jez2cool:
I cant believe what i am see...HAS anyone on here actually used bing with the navigation before... don't get caught up in the name.. it work just as fine( In my opinion better the gmaps)
[Fascinate General] Bateluer:
I've used Bing on the PC, never find a useful thing and has a cluttered results list. No way would I want it on my phone either. Handset makers and carriers should leave this choice in the hands of the end user.
[Fascinate General] hydrogenman:
Anyone notice it's not going to be able to use Google Navigation either?

You're going to have to pay for VZ Navigation...check the training documents.

That's a huge WTF

Hope the documents are wrong too about the ram, they're listing it in the 300's instead of 512 like all the other Galaxy phones

Verizon is back to it's "lets see how bad we can nerf and screw up this phone" days
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
It will have 512mb ram. It will have gmapps and navigation. Its an android phone. I would b freaking stunned if it didn't have these. Ill b getting one either way. I'm got rid of my dinc and x for the captivate on att and can't wait til I get my fascinate. The CPU and GPU are the absolute best in a mobile device anywhere period. This is going to b a great device. Even my 5mp camera and camcorder on my captivate is WAY better than either of the 8mp shoooters on the x or dinc. Trust me. These will b the best overall phone on vzw. Better than the x or the dinc. Period. I've had every Droid phone vzw has to offer. The captivate blows them all away
[Fascinate General] wrxlvr:
So, what will happen when you press the hardware search button? Will it be Bing? Will we have the option to change it to Google?

I will be rooting my phone and likely running a custom ROM once available (love you devs), but I'm not a fan of Bing.
[Fascinate General] b15love:
youre wrong on all 3 points. You can use Google Maps/Nav, Specs are listed as 512MB Flash/384MB RAM with 2GB of Internal Memory, Verizon hasnt crippled any Android, its upto the manuf to come up with the hardware, the carrier can set limits on what the device does on their network, such as AT&T
[Fascinate General] ranova:
sounds like all BS to me.

First off, 2.1 can only use 384mb of ram or so - so if what you say is true about hte documents, it is accurate until 2.2 is out to enable highmem for the full 512mb of ram

EVEN if they blocked google navigation (which makes NO sense, because it is available on Verizon's other android phones), you could still install it or root your phone and install it.

Because this phone is already rootable, nothing in this thread is relevant or anything to be afraid of.

You can change the background, change home launchers, change the search widgets, etc etc...
[Fascinate General] HolyGrail:
I think some of you don't understand the possible issues this might have.

Verizon took away my option to have Google, or any other search provider as my default search, when I had my blackberry. Woke up, and (bam!) all that was there was, was Bing. Google and all my other search providers was gone. You could still use Google by bookmarking it tho, but that was extra steps for no reason.

Verizon has shown by my example they can cripple a phone if they so choose.

Worst case scenario? (And I hope it isn't)

Unlike blackberry, Google is deeply integrated into Android. If Verizon broke Google integration, and replace it with Bing integration, then that would be worse then you think. That means even if you replace the widget with a Google one, (for example) it won't stop links in the browser from defaulting to Bing when you click on them. Another example would be Bing maps would open instead of Google maps. Another limitation would be Bing's voice search, which can't compare to Google's.

That search/magnifying glass button would only open Bing search, A nightmare.
[Fascinate General] wrxlvr:
If that's the case, I forsee a LOT of rooted phones... running Google. :)
[Fascinate General] davisbs999:
It's like you could see into the future:) Funny how many folks (e.g. see the quote below) torched people who said that Bing would be the only unrooted search option, yet here we are.

insufferable haters like you make me sad for the human race. Perhaps you should do some homework before you start spewing insults
[Fascinate General] hijackerjack:
Its alright. If he had a brain, he'd realize that even replacing the widget doesn't replace the default search provider. Trolls these days.

Anyways.. Two words.. Verizon Sucks..

Love their network, hate their bloat.
[Fascinate General] Epell:
I bet first thing that's gonna come out after root is a method to get rid of bing! :P

So... not that worried, but samsung/verizon lost lots of sales by choosing bing as the only search engine for fascinate.

I hope the money from microsoft is worth the lost sales.
[Fascinate General] badmf222:
All of the reviews and hands-on posts I have seen and read basically say the same thing. Bing cannot be removed. Everything is mapped back to Bing no matter what you do without rooting. On top of that Google Maps and Nav seem to crash when trying to launch. Just about all of the Google services have been mamed, broken, hidden or disabled. Root can't come soon enough to this phone, and hopefully root can fix it.
[Fascinate General] Accused187:
I knew going in on this purchase that there were some pitfalls to the software...but naturally I'll end up rooting and customizing as I like.

I'll definitely give Bing a shot...can't knock on it until I try it. But it is stupid that they didn't give the users options. It would have been a totally different story had Bing been default, but changeable and I think this will negatively effect the sales of the phone (which has some of the best hardware on the market [if not the best] - judging by CPU/GPU benchmarks, and the 4" Super AMOLED).

I chose to switch to this device from the Droid X because the X was a little too big for my liking, and the hardware buttons on it completely sucked...I missed the haptic buttons from my N1.
[Fascinate General] Epell:
http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/09/09/verizon.says.fascinate.22.to.give.google.download/

Yeah, nice save Verizon. I assume some hectic phone calls between Verizon and MS happened today after all the negative reviews.
[Fascinate General] mrmomoman:
Place the google widget on your screen why don't cha? Its there. I just did it last night when I had the chance to to play with the phone. The google search bar widget is built in. No need to install from market.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Why is it that none of the 2.2 roms see any of my music stored on the sdcard?

As for the gallery app, it only sees two folders of pictures on my sdcard, and I have 4 folders. I also cannot select custom ringtones for phone,mail,txt nothing.

Also, every 2.2 rom I install, it ALWAYS lags after about 5 minutes of first boot throws a bunch of force closes on any and every app I have open, and then finally soft reboots. After that then I never have problems with the lag until I reboot. What would cause this? I'm running the Froyo Radio, I wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache every time I try to flash a 2.2 rom. Oddly enough, any 2.1 eclair works fine...

I managed to capture a picture of the logcat right before it rebooted on 2.2

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Never had any of these problems on any 2.2 rom
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Could it be the SDcard then? or something with my phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
bump for hoping to run 2.2 with no errors :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
For the lag on initial boot it may just be Google restoring your apps...this really slows things down until its finished. If you want to turn it off its under Privacy-Backup Settings, I believe.

As for the gallery/music probs Im not too sure..could be the card, reformat??

[Android Software Development] David Horn:
If something doesn't f***** work on your phone then it's a million times better to get in touch with the f***** developer using the email option (I even put my damned phone number up) instead of leaving a 1 star rating saying "Doesn't work".

Great, so now not only do I have a one star rating sitting at the top of a load of 5-stars, but have absolutely no idea why the app won't load or how to fix it. If only the Market gave me the opportunity to email a user who left a complaint and get the problem sorted. Oh, and it's a completely free app which pisses me off even more.

On top of this, the Market is STILL NOT WORKING properly for loads of people who for some reason can't see my app at all. Google don't respond on their forums, and it's complete f***** guesswork which phones it shows up on.

And breathe.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkCloudInc:
Shortly after flashing to the niki radio, 1.65.29.22, I saw on the bootup screen, an 'H' in the corner. Having gained not much of a positive experience from this radio, I decided to try and flash to a different radio, a radio I had liked. While doing so, it always failed at 99% whether flashing to two other radios or trying to flash to a different rom.

Long ago, when I had first visited this forum, I remember there was a problem with the radio locking but can't seem to remember what exactly to search for to fix this. Any ideas?

[Edit] Change the title to better describe the issue.

[Edit] Additional Info: Does it help that the error I'm getting at the end is

[going to 1.64.21.18] - 262: Update Error

[going to 1.64.21.14] - 270: Update Date Error (Image file is corrupt) [freshly downloaded from 4shared]

Oh, I put in hardSpl 3.56. Would it matter to try the earlier versions?

[Final Edit] Thanks to everyone who helped. Here's the pattern: [In order of execution]

Changed SPL from 1.1 -> 3.56

Changed Radios from 1.65.29.22 -> 1.64.08.21 -> 1.65.21.18
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
in the kaiser forums as well as the kaiser ultimate radio thread, search for "radio from hell" and make sure (and pray!) that the version you currently have is NOT the radio from hell.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkCloudInc:
I changed the title of the thread to better describe the issue at hand. I just noticed that after installing Niki radio as listed above, I keep getting flashing issues that fail at 99% whether radio or new rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Have you read ASCIIker's answer above?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkCloudInc:
Well, the radio I had listed wasn't found in the thread. So, before I proceed to go through the steps, I would like to know if this is really a symptom that would require going through the steps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Try another combination of hardslp (change your actual) and try to flash the radios again. Let's see if that works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkCloudInc:

[Edit] Fixed? I think. I got a new radio on my thing after finally jumping to:1.64.08.21. Will try to flash it to one of the above radios. This one's camera doesn't seem to work.

Hello,

Today my phone somehow deleted over 1300 sms i had with a person.

I was supposed to back them up, but it was deleted beforehand...

It seems that this have happened to other people, and i wonder if there are any way to recover these messages, or are they all gone?

They are from a period of a week and a half, so they arent that old...

Anybody?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunt83:
I'd recommend installing smsbackup, which periodically backs up your txts to your gmail account. I never have to worry about random messages getting deleted now (not that it's happened to me YET)

I don't think you can recover the messages now unfortunately...

Wavesecure also does sms backup, as does titanium backup and a few others like it, including the app mentioned above.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:
If you want to backup your sms easily you have to put that code in adb :
