[Vibrant Android Development] Chalup:
The difference in speed is definitely noticeable. For example, when simultaneously installing many programs from the marketplace, there is nearly no lag. Here is my quadrant score.

Thank you for making and sharing this rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
EXT4 is here :)
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
Do a fixpermissions and reboot, should fix your issues
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Is every one getting similar quadrant scores? Im still using stock build but w jacs kernel and I only get about 1100. I am using ext3 btw, need that journaling security :-)

Sent from my Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I get 1500 with ext4 and everything else stock (stock odexed ROM) besides my kernel. Using an 8GB class 6 card.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I did some initial testing on ext2 as the phone didn't have tune2fs installed. It works, and it is a little faster. However, it's prone to corruption as we can't un-mount it at shutdown. It's not worth the risk, IMO. It does lower my benchmark score to use ext3, but I can't tell the difference using the phone. At the end of the day, that and stability are far more important to me then the benchmark score.

Once I got the ext utilities installed, fsck detected a bunch of errors. Minor errors, but errors. After that, I converted to ext3 and didn't look back.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Ya, forgot to mention I am using an 8GB class 6 SD card, w/ a 1GB EXT3 parition. Im not sure why I am getting consistently lower benchmarks than everyone else using the stock odexed rom w/ JAC's kernel. Also using autokiller, but I may disable that for testing.

I am getting consistent ~1100's on Quadrant, so I would like to see if I can get that up to the ~1500 everyone else seems to be getting :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Thanks, a bunch. Think I will stick with the ext3 partition then.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
Ok, I installed this rom, before installing I formatted data and cache, no wipe, install = constant force close. I used odin to restore, installed through rom manager, couldn't DL anything from the market. Currently I am doing a nandroid restore and then I will do this all over again. See If I can get this thing working.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
JACs kernel has ext4 support; you might get faster benchmarks if you upgrade to an ext4 partition (since ext3 is a bit slower).
[Vibrant Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
any one else have the phone tell them that the uid's were mismatched?

Then give you an option that you felt lucky?
[Vibrant Android Development] ArbitrageMan:
Hypothetically, let say I want to upgrade to a bigger SD card in the future. Is swapping out the SD card as simple as partitioning the new card appropriately, powering off, swapping cards and then rebooting? Or by going down the Data2Sd now will I need to revert before I ever do anything else?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
you would either want to revert or copy the contents of your old SDcard's ext partition to the new SD card in order for everything to work as normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Figured that all my fc were from a corrupted download. Got it up and running with a blazing 1400+ in quadrant.

This thing is fast.. most noticeable in the market, but small things really lag compared to the stock with NAND app data. Biggest lags are with moving icons around the homescreen, and waking from sleep.

Don't know why those would be slow. I might just try stock with JAC kernel on an ext4 and compare.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
I used EXT2 with 800mb worth of partitioning on a Sandisk @2gb card and I'm getting over 1500 for quadrant. I also have about 50 apps already installed!

Is there really an issue with EXT2? Should i revert to EXT 3?
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
Is flashing JAC's kernel required to flash this ROM? I've tried twice now, and it just hangs at the Vibrant screen forever.
[Vibrant Android Development] dglowen23:
whose tried this? how well does it work
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I think I will give it a shot in another day or two after I have really tested the heck out of this. I'm not interested in having the fastest benchmark tho, and this is just so smooth right now I might just wait and see what the OP has up his sleeve for improvements. By the way, thanks again OP! :D

I have no lag anywhere, in fact I have enabled the weather animations in Beautiful widgets and they move so smoothly across the home screen that it is amazing!

No, it's optional. I'm not using it for now.

In a word? Incredible! :eek::D
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
Well, then I definitely don't know what's causing my problem. Trying to flash the ROM from Clockwork Recovery gives me a hung screen on Vibrant screen (the music plays but it is stuck there). Have had to reflash to stock firmware using ODIN twice already because of this.

Trying to flash from stock recovery with "update.zip" gives me and "Installation aborted!" right after it starts trying to install.

Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated. :o
[Vibrant Android Development] Blue_Alien:
I also get the installation aborted message when I try to flash with normal recovery. I did manage to flash with clockwork but now any application that needs root force closes. I have wiped but it still does it.
[Vibrant Android Development] robavila721:
I flashed this rom along with jacs kernel and its fast as hell. The only problem is that it takes a good 4-5 seconds to awake when I press the unlock button.
[Vibrant Android Development] bryon13:
I could be having problems with my eyes, but it would seem that there are about 110 posts before yours, all talking about how well the ROM works.

I know, I know...reading is for sissies...but you can learn a lot by reading...like how well this works. (:

The future looks so... Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I used clockwork, went to partitions and wiped system. Then back at the main menu choose factory reset or whatever it is. After that I flashed. The music played on mine but hung on the Vibrant screen for 30 secs or so, then I saw the pink words and it went on it's way. 10-12 minutes total to install.

How did you format your ext partition? Did you create it after the fat32 partition? Did you make both primary partitions?

Did you try fixing permissions with clockwork?

Odd, everything is damn near instant on mine.. No lag waking up or anywhere else. Edited to clarify I'm not using the new kernel, just the rom.

Seriously, LOL! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] gleemer:
Dude, I thought I was going crazy! I get the same delay with this rom and jac's kernel. Running nice and smooth though other than that.
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
I formatted my external SD using Ubuntu. I wiped the card, made the ext3 partition first, and then the fat32. And they were both checked as primary partitions. Think that might be the problem?

I waited on the Vibrant screen after the music played for about 15 minutes each time and no pink words. Interestingly enough though, I could still use adb commands.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I am almost positive I read in the thread over at modaco when the fix was first being discussed that the fat32 partition should be located first, then create the ext partition filling all remaining space.

At this point since it seems jacked up for you, I think it would be something to at least try. By the way, for curiousity sake. How big is your ext partition?
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
That is true. I'll go ahead and give it a try. I made the ext3 partition 2GB. Will report back if that works.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I'm fairly certain the order for partitions goes as follows:

1. FAT32

2. EXT 2/3/4

3. Swap (if needed, Not needed on our phone :D )
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
1524 stock ROM, JAC Kernel, 16GB Class 2 card, EXT4
[Vibrant Android Development] Blue_Alien:
Hm, only getting 1113 with a 8gb micro sd with 1 gb ext3 partition. Also, some apps that require root will not start due to force close.
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
Sorry about this one.. Howcan I tell if it's installed? I ave a class6 card and formated it with fat32 and ext3. (ued my G1 to doit)

formated Vibrant per instructions and installed via clockwork.

booted back up but I don't see anything on new sd. Installed an app and still don't see anything. is it going to ext3? what shuld I see under info?
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
For the force close issue try fixing permissions using clockwork. As for your Quadrant score. Try rebooting the phone and when it starts up wait 2 or 3 mins before running another test. If it still comes out around the same speed I'd say it's your card, some are much faster then others.

Easiest way to see if it is working is to just install Quadrant and run a full benchmark. Any score over the low 900's indicates it's working.
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
1136 so I guess it installed correctly.

Thanks for the tip and not bashing me...
[Vibrant Android Development] nammyczc:
anybody know if possible to do this on my captivate, seeing their basically the same phone except different carriers?
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
i tried fixing permissions with rom manager but that didn't help titanium from still force closing, booted into clockwork recovery but didn't see an option for fix permissions.. anyone get titanium working ?
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
Ok *braces self* I flashed the Rom and now titanium backup isn't working at all. It cashes. Any ideas and forgive me if someone already asked because I did search the thread and forum. Also, it may be my mind but this Rom seems a little faster or do you still need to partition your sd card and add more settings? I'm learning yall, day by day. Bare with me
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
There is an option for fix permissions in the ROM Manager app.

Regarding Titanium Backup, Ive been running this kernel since it was first released this morning, Titanium Backup worked fine.

Later this afternoon, saw Titanium Backup had an update, updated and now it FCs every time I open it. Reverted back to earlier version , no issue. (Ya, I backup my backup app)

I emailed the developer about it, and I urge all of you to do the same. I believe it is just coincidental timing, and that the new version of Titanium Backup may have a bug\glitch, as opposed to the kernel or EXT hack (Dalvik-Cache bind mounted to your EXT)
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
thanks so much.
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
fixed the titanium problem, used an older version and it works now thanks, but im having a problem with autostarts app, every time i try to stop a app from starting on load up, it says please wait but it never finishes. so i tried to fix permissions but the didn't help. i have to force close the ap when i go back into autostarts the app i was trying to disable on startup then show its disabled, but when i try to add another same problem please wait then force close
[Vibrant Android Development] pablo1215:
"flashed perfectly following eugenes steps from the other vibrant.zip

excellent job sir hopefully we can get JIT working.

1. go into recovery (clockwork)

2. go into partitions menu and do a /system wipe

3. from the main menu do a factory wipe

4. flash .zip from sd

5. reboot"

Okay just a quick question on step 2 here is "do a system wipe" the same as "format system" on clockwork recovery? Sorry looked through the forums and just want to be 100% sure because I know you dont want to format the internal memory/SD. Im good on my nexus one but this phone Im defintely nervous about.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Not sure on that one, you could try using AutoRun Killer. Does the same thing, is freeware (or donate-ware, whatever you wanna call it), and is faster. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Just thought I'd post up a bit about the horror story that was flashing my Wife's Vibrant tonight.

Mine went smooth as can be, but when I flashed hers anything and everything that could go wrong did. Clockwork bombed out formating data, after I'd alread wiped system. When I did a battery pull and went back into recovery, clockwork wouldn't load. Just the stock recovery which wouldn't flash this rom.

3 hours later and some seriously crappy time with Odin later it is finally back up but man.. Is it me, or is Odin some of the buggies **** ever programmed lol?

Anyway, its finally flashed and up and running but it's odd how two devices that are supposed to be the same behaved so differently during the process.

I can sympathize with anyone who's had issues at this point! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Yes. That's the option I choose.
[Vibrant Android Development] pablo1215:
Thanks for the response. Anyone successfully install this without wiping system. The original post said you can do without a wipe but I also dont want issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] JustinLoe:
i'm a newb and managed to wipe system and data, while trying to load this rom it says error (bad). Not sure what I did wrong, but now i'm left without anything, and unsure what steps to take to boot into recovery. Tia.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I wiped mine and the install went perfect.

I wiped my wifes and it locked up halfway through the factory wipe which left the phone hosed lol. After I got it restored through Odin, I did not wipe on the second try and it installed just fine and is running great. So no, I don't think you have to wipe unless you want to.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
You are going to need to follow the directions in this first post as well as download the files contained in it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

If you are on a machine with Windows 7 64bit I would suggest finding a 32bit machine as their seems to be some issues with Odin stalling in a certain step on some 64bit systems (it did on mine as well).
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
Hey Thanks for the quick response. Autorun is quiet nice, Thanks again !!
[Vibrant Android Development] pablo1215:
Okay followed instructions and it worked perfectly. Only one problem which isnt related to his update but still sort of is I guess. Im getting the lovely force close because I had to download the newest version from the market. Does anyone have the previous version apk?

Edit: Okay found the link to the previous version hopefully this works now.
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
You were right. I partitioned my SD card wrong and caused something bad. :o

It's good to see it booting on the Galaxy S screen now. Thanks for helping with that.

But now I'm getting the FC's. Problem is I can't even close the processes long enough to open ROM Manager. Will see what I can work out.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Glad I could help. I've got a suggestion but it'll involve a bit of work. I had some force close issues with my wife's install too. Did you make a backup of your stock install by chance? If you did, I would try booting into recovery and installing it, then after its all up and running ok go back and reload this rom. That is what I did for her and she now has no issues with FC's.

If you didn't make a backup, I'm pretty sure there are a couple of stock nandroids floating around that you could probably try and use instead.

Hope you get it sorted out and up and running soon, I think the hassle is worth it in the end!
[Vibrant Android Development] NickAtNite:
Wow, this is awesome! Quadrant benched me at 1416. I was barely hitting 800 prior to flashing this rom. I'm using a class 2 4gb sandisk card. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get myself a class 6 8gb sd card this weekend.

anomalous3, you are the man!

hmm im scoring a 1130 was scoring 900 b4 rom, how big is your ext 3 partition? i have mine at 1024..
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to flash this ROM (and others as well)... I haven't tried to flash this yet because of failure with the other update.zip ROM @ xda, also because I haven't partisioned my SD. Btw... how do I do it? the ROM manager just f**ks up my internal memory (gave me some headace), but I can't find where to partision it...

When I tried to flash last time I did:

-dowload what's needed

-put the .zip in internal memory root

-formated system

-factory reset

-install from .zip -> choose .zip

-wait for the install to say completed

-reboot

-booting failed (stopped at "vibrant" screen)

I've tried to search, but can't find anything which has helped so far...

The last: what exactly does the quadrant test? the speed of your phone, what it can do or?

THY
[Vibrant Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
first boot takes, FFFOOORRREEEVVEEERRR. Like upwards of 15 minutes. It will just sit on the S screen with the S flashing pretty colors for a long long long time. Then it will finally boot. If you make it that far you have made it, just be patient.
[Vibrant Android Development] ArbitrageMan:
Could you post the link?? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
Got my SD (class 4, 8 GB) partisioned with paragon hard disk manager, and the ROM installed by putting the .zip at root of internal -> boot up in clockwork -> install .zip (no wipe required!!) -> reboot.

The first boot took 3-5 min. but it works!!

Quadrant after first boot: 1337 (what a nice quadrant!!)

Quadrant after 2nd boot: 1251

Quadrant after permission fix: 1417
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
In the beginning it says that you don't need to wipe or factory reset. I just went into recovery mode and pressed install updates. you have to make sure nothing else on your internal storage is named update

also make sure when renaming something on your pc, you don't rename it (update.zip) ... rename it Update and thats all because when you place it on your phone, it will say update.zip.zip ... and your phone wont recognize it.

hope this may help some
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:

So i should get a 16 gig or so SD card with a high class, partition it and if i have the rom installed it should recognize my sd is partitioned and then the speed will be faster? Do i need to do any other commands? I flashed this rom without wipe but didn't partition yet. I am anxious for the speed increase, the lag with apps and stuff is brutal

If you are asking if you can do that after you already have it installed I think the answer would be no. I'm pretty sure there is a script that runs only during the install that looks for the ext partition on the card and copies everything over if it's there.

Now if you have one there already and just want to replace it with a larger/faster card, I believe what you can do is power the phone down. Remove the card and copy the contents on the ext partition of the old card to the ext partition on the new card and then boot up with the new card installed.

Hopefully the OP can clarify for sure tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
Donno if it matters but I used ext3, and got no problem flashing :)
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
could someone that doesn't mind walking me through the correct partitioning method and getting this rom to work at it's max.. send me a private message so we can talk through gtalk tonight?. Im a fast learner, just purchased an 8gb class 4 sd card. I want to be safe.

[Vibrant Android Development] jtguthrie1:
Help LoL

Feel like an IDIOT ive looked through 40 posts and cant find one that explains how to INSTALL ROM - Deodexed with root, full busybox, and data2sd(update.zip). Please help??
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
ummm. the same way you install any update.zip. Download and copy the ZIP file to /sdcard on the phone. I just use ADB for this.

1) Root

2) Install ROM Manager (Market)

3) Load ROM Manager and tell it to install recovery (There's a thread in this forum for installing ROM Manager/Clockwork Recovery)

4) In ROM Manager, select "Reboot into Recovery"

5) In recovery, wipe /system

6) In recovery, tell it to install the ZIP you downloaded.

7) Reboot.

That should do it. But do read some more on the forums, I may have missed a step. Particularly the Odin stock firmware thread, you need that if you mess up so you can get the phone back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blue_Alien:
Restored my phone to stock. Restored everything else with nandroid. Fixed permissions, installed rom, fixed permissions again, and then rebooted. Quadrant is giving me 1371 with a 1 gb ext3 on an 8 gb class 2 card.
[Vibrant Android Development] nammyczc:
anybody know if this would work on captivate
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
Ah finally, after multiple reflashes through ODIN and Clockwork I got it to work. Quadrant score of 1436 using an 8GB class 6 sd. Thank you anomalous3 for this.

First ROM ever flashed on my first Android device. Definitely a great learning experience given all the (self-imposed) hassle. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
If the captivate runs JDF it should be fine, but I can't be 100% sure... :o You could allways try, and return to stock if it fails through ODIN...

good luck
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Glad to see you up and running! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I'd hesitate to flash a foreign kernel on your phone. We had some people here that had issues because they flashed a euro kernel. The Captivate is quite similar to the Vibrant, so you have a better chance of it working. If you have a stock Odin image, and don't mind being a guinea pig, go for it, but know that it hasn't been tested and might cause other problems. This kernel is build from Samsung's source for the Vibrant. Is there a source release for the Captivate? Perhaps a dev that has one would be willing to talk with JAC for hints and such to building it? I expect he would be willing to help you guys out.

For the lag fix, you can try my mod. I know some of the i9000 guys have it working. See the userinit thread, I have a few posts in there with ZIPs and such. I can't promise anything as I don't have a Captivate, but I'll help you work through any issues that come up. Note that my latest thread won't work without a kernel like this one. It uses the init.d stuff. The latest versions in the userinit thread do most of the work from recovery, so they should work OK for you, if you can use the playlogos hack on your phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] jtguthrie1:
ttabbal

DID NOT work the way you had me do it. I wiped all and still nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Perhaps if you listed the steps you did and what the outcome was someone can help you figure out what to do next.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
This are the steps I did to get it fully working :)

-Stock ROM (JDF) via ODIN

-Root

-Install ROM Manager via market

-Flash clockworkmod recovery

-downloaded the ROM .zip and placed it at the internal storage root

-ROM Manager > Reboot into recovery

-Install .zip (no wipe)

-after "complete" reboot and wait for 5-10 mins...
