Oh ok. I thought this was vanilla... My bad...
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
hey moron, read my earlier posts. I'm trying to transfer the ext3 data on a windows machine.

You're really funny though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Argusi:
The funny part is this exchange, is first hit of that search uses the Ubuntu live cd which would be the best thing for you to do. So he actually helped. ;)

Basically, burn a live cd, boot to it and use gparted to do the deed.

EDIT: I looked around a bit. There's a windows app called paragon, I think that you can use to do that, but I have never used it. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
You can use virtualbox to run ubuntu too

Is anyone having issues with Launcherpro continously getting force close after doing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Run fix permissions from clockwork after you do this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
Does this ROM happen to have some of the changes in eugene's ROM?

In particular, the adb push pull, the market with the my downloads section instead of the tmobile tab & the Launcher iPhone look being removed?
[Vibrant Android Development] mikespy:
I had absolutely NO problems with this ROM until i ran fix permissions using clockwork. Now i cant get in market...Hell i cant even use it now. I backed it up prior to fixing permissions just in case and hopefully it will go back to normal.

update:

Well reverted back to my backup and having same problems now cant log into internet either so i used a wifi connection to connect to internet/market and it worked so hopefully my service with t-mobile is just temp unavailable. Will keep trying or just start over fresh and re flash ROM from scratch...

Re-update:

After rebooting and even data resetting i still couldn't get 3g to connect only got 2g to work. Somehow when i fixed permissions with clockwork it screwed with my network/internet settings and rendered 3g useless. I even reinstalled ROM all over again to no avail. Had to manually fix settings??? Don't know why reinstalling ROM didn't fix it but oh well. I got it working now... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] poboy1989:
I somehow got launcher pro to work by doing a factory reset

How do i get to clockwork recovery without rom manager cause now the force close thing is happening to that and also other random apps, like the weather channel and astro file manager?
[Vibrant Android Development] Int0x:
Im running this on my captivate as well. My gps doesn't work either nor does my wifi. Google maps freezes when I open it too. Haha. Other than that I like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
When upgrading from a 2gb to 8gb card, do you think I could just partition the new card, boot into clockwork recovery, and flash the rom again with the new card?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to move ext3 files from one card to another with Windows.
[Vibrant Android Development] numba1cuban:
Is there a way to add ext4 support to this rom without the use of JAC's kernel? I ask beacuse my phone runs way smoother and doesnt have the wake lag fron JAC's kernel. I really would lyk help maybe a link anything to add ext4 support.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
You don't. Windows can't read ext file systems. Boot a linux live cd and you can do it there.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Not that I'm aware of. You can use ext3 with the stock kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
OH. Well, being the linux n00b that I am, I did a few XDA searches on how to do this. Nothing was "n00bish" enough for me to feel really comfortable. Same goes for the walkthroughs I found via google.

Would somebody be willing to either link a plain-english walkthrough OR PM with me on how to get the live cd running, and then how to read the ext partition?

TIA, sorry for being a PITA
[Vibrant Android Development] kraftey:
edit: i should read. nevermind.
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
Thanks for the post, but I'm not having issues with creating the partition. I need help with reading the data on the ext partition and transferring the data to a new card.

I've never used Linux, so maybe once I get into the live cd that it will be a lot easier than I'm making it.
[Vibrant Android Development] byt3b0mb:
this rom is friggin fast!!!!

this rom, plus the init.d update and JACs kernel gave me a quadrant score of 1483!!

Ive tried evetything and it still doesnt inscrease my benchmarks. Yup even flashed the new kernel. I also have partitioned sd card ext2.... I dont get it
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Last time I tried that, it was an unstable pos. Has it improved?
[Vibrant Android Development] hoey2011:
I've been having great results from this rom, but there is one issue I have run into. Before rooting, I bought a couple of flip fonts from the market, and they worked on the stock rom just fine, but there seems to be an problem on this one.

I can pull up the list to select which font I want to switch to, and apply it in the menu, from which I am prompted for a reboot, which executes just fine. But when I boot back up, it just displays the stock font, no matter which option I select from the font list. Can anyone else confirm?
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
They work, or at least mine do. They just don't always work on the first reboot lol. Some times it takes several and then they just show up. Thankfully after they start working they persist through a reboot.

I've had good luck powering down, pulling the battery for a few seconds then rebooting..
[Vibrant Android Development] rei165:
slow transfer rates?

idk if this is just me, but as anyone noticed when you mount the sd card to the computer to save stuff to the external memory card, the phone itself lags a bit and transfer rates are slower than usual? or is it because i have a class 2 memory card?
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
i just noticed this lol, im used to using cachemate to get rid of junk cache, using cachemate with this rom gives me a message that i have already cleaned cache (because the data2sd) whats the best way to clean the junk cache with this rom so i can keep things running smooth?
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
No wi-fi after flashing this Rom, Help Please..

Happy after flashing this rom without Jac's kernel only cause I don't want to mess with ODIN and my " WI-FI " is not working (I did not wipe) I will re-flash again and have a question.

In ClockworkMod.

Do I want to do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the main menu or in the partitions menu a " format system " or maybe "BOTH"

Thank you everyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
The data2sd shouldn't be causing anything like that. The whole point is to do it before the OS boots up in such a way that it's transparent to the OS. App data is stored in /data/data. If you do there in a terminal/file browser/etc, you will see the app data.

I own Cachemate and don't use it on the Vibrant. I haven't noticed anything slowing down and such over time like the G1 did.
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
Please let me know if these are the right steps

Hi.. could I please get some assistance? It would be appreciated.

I mean I want my phone speedy as all heck too.

So I use Ubanri or something like that.. the program you boot from your CD

8 GB card

It was like

Unallocated 7601.MIB (around 7gb)

so i partitioned that as frat32 primary extension and left 2000 for the next one

so then It was like

Frat32 5.6gb

Unallocated 1.4gb

so I partitioned that to primary extension 4 leaving nothing left

before i did ext4, i tried ext2 and that didn't work.. my phone was really slow on ext2 and force closing almost everything. Ext4 is cool but the benchmarks aren't fast... i only get about 902 and sometimes slower than the galaxy S.

Am i doing something wrong?

I flashed the Kernel via Odin (how am i suppose to know if it flashed right)

I made sure busy box was installed *there's an option via titanium backup*

I went into recovery and flashed the init.d zip thingy

made sure i fixed permissions via clockswork

and Im running the ROM - Deodexed with root, newest busybox, and data2sd (with support for JAC kernel)Arrow

let me know if you can help. i appreciate it!
[Vibrant Android Development] iB4STiD:
so is the cache cleared after the phone restarts? i wasnt sure about the cachemate not finding anything, is that normal or am i doing somtin wrong ?

tho if the cache is cleared after boot i guess there is no need for cachemate

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Awesome work with this ROM!!! I got only one issue..My alarm doesnt work. Anybody else having this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] wookieloou:
I'm only getting 1377 in Quadrant. Is it limited to the speed of my sd card? I'm using an 8GB Class 4 card.... :(
[Vibrant Android Development] oquinones:
You should use this lag fix instead. Doesn't need to use the external sd card and should get you over 2100 in Quadrant.

Since I'm a new user, I can't post a link but look in the forum for RyanZA's lag fix and install it and you should be set.
[Vibrant Android Development] wookieloou:
Saw that. If I've already done this, is there an easy way to revert? Or can I flash RyanZA's lag fix over the top of this?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
It won't work on top of this. I'll get a new version of this out with the new lag fix tonight or tomorrow.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Help please / No wi-fi and would like to reflash

Do I want to do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the main menu or in the partitions menu a " format system " or maybe "BOTH" before flashing this rom to get my WI-FI back..
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I like to wipe everytime I install a new rom, less problems this way
[Vibrant Android Development] hoey2011:
flipfont problem sort of resolved

ok, so i was having problems changing flip fonts on my phone, using this rom, no extra kernels, etc.

Anytime I selected the font, it would not apply on a reboot, no matter HOW MANY times i rebooted. Finally, I decided that the issue was worth looking into, so I rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid backup through koush's recovery. I rebooted the phone to send a few messages before i wiped, and bam there was the changed font.

For some reason now, flipfont will only change the system font if I make a nandroid backup right after selecting the font. I have tested this 10+ times and it is the same result everytime, no apply without a backup, apply everytime with a backup.

Any ideas what might be causing this??

Not that it's a bad thing to be forced to back your phone up everytime you make a change ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
everytime I try to flash this it says failure at line 2... cannot format system.... I do it manually and I get an error formatting system

edit:just tried again... worked fine...
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
you still trying to implement ryan's lag fix with this or are you creating a whole new rom with all the upgrades included?
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
Do you have to partition to get Quads above 900?

Question all, do you have to partition to get Quads above 900? I'm only getting 920s - 950s.

Did I do something wrong? :(
[Vibrant Android Development] bagayas:
It appears the benefit comes from the partitioning of the card. I flashed one without partitioning and got the same Quad #'s as stock mid 800's. Then flashed with a partitioned card. Getting 1100's consistently.
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
We partition the sdcard into a different storage type... it has a faster transfer rate, thus higher read/write rates...

samsung uses rfs we change that to ext2/3/4... the other lag fix uses ext2 and puts it in the same place as the app data

Both have cons and pros...

sd- cant change cards... but has a ext2/3/4 support, faster and more stable....
[Vibrant Android Development] bagayas:
Let me know if you need a guinea pig for your update.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
when you say "partitioning the sd card" you mean the external correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
Yes the actual removable one... once we partition it and run the script the phone stores data on it.... data your phone needs to run... so you cant just unmount it and put in any ole card... which makes switching cards kinda difficult...
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
does the rom itself partition it? I've already got an ext4 partition on mine
[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
I had the same problem of not being able to change the font. I didn't try the Nandroid thing though. I will probably reflash this ROM and attempt this later. Thanks for the work around!

[Vibrant Android Development] mrmack:
What exactly happens if the external card is unmounted? Does the phone just become laggy or completely freeze?

I'd like to flash this ROM, but if the phone becomes unusable when its connected to my computer I'll wait for a fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
I played on my phone while a buddy was putting some movies on my card for me... but i did get a random reboot...
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
I need to update this but haven't gotten around to it yet. Sorry. I think the next update I'm just going to leave completely stock except for root, but I'm going to include the ext tools so anyone who wants to implement apps2sd on an ext4 or who wants to setup a loopback ext4 filesystem can do so with minimal effort.
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
Thanks for the replies all. I partitioned my old sd card from my G1 and now getting consistent 1400+.

Thanks for the great job on this.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
did you do the optional flash of JAC's kernel also?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Updated. No more built-in lag fix, but if you want the old version it can still be found at http://getyourboneon.com/VibrantDeodexed1_1fixed.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] bagayas:
Thanks. Appreciate your work on this. Downloading now and plan to flash RyanZA's lag fix after. Will post how things go.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
can we run ryan's lag fix on top of this?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
you should be able to now.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
will I still need to revert back to v1.7 busybox?
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Can I install Eugene's_Vibrant 5 Rom's after installing anomalous3's 1.2 updated version, in other words flashing eugene's it in top of this one ?

Anybody

Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
You might need to revert to busy box 1.7, this has 1.8
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Eh, I'd pick one or the other. Eugene's has a lot of bloatware removed whereas this is basically as stock as possible.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
I'll stick to this one before cyanogen hits the web, I have to admit I have 0 issues with this rom, I wait until anyone reports back with ryan's lag fix in top of this rom and hopefully report improvement..

Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
many thanks to you, this rom works great with the lag fix
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
What version of the lagfix did you apply to this rom ? and also can you provide a link to busy box 1.7..

THank you in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
No lag fix on the newest version. Personally though I'm running a modified version of the original ryanza lag fix using ext4 and bind mounting with jac's kernel so it runs from init.d. Works amazingly.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
can we get an update.zip of that? lol, I'm not a fan of ext2
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Eventually I'll get one up, will be on vacation so I may not get a chance to work on it for a little while.
[Vibrant Android Development] swedenyc:
Here is a link to a apk to install Busybox 1.7. Push/copy to your data/app folder using adb or root explorer and then simply install. You will get an app icon showing Busybox after installation. To check if it was installed correctly go into adb shell and enter busybox. Scroll up and you can see the version you are in. I have yet to try the lagfix so I cannot help you there but this apk worked great for me.

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7574130&postcount=229
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
If you use the new update.zip, the busybox is included
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Greatly appreciate the link..
[Vibrant Android Development] systoxity:
Thank you for working on a captivate version of your rom. Just want you to know all of us over there appreciate it. I'll be installing it myself on friday.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Am I able to flash this over Ryans lag fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] rei165:
+1
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
no clue. probably though.
[Vibrant Android Development] rei165:
nope. cant apply this rom over ryans lagmefix + stock rom. gonna try to update to this rom first then applying the lagmefix.

EDIT: everything worked fine when i installed v1.2, then lagmefix. the only trouble i ran into was that every time i downloaded an app off the market, it would install download and install multiple times. any ideas on why? i also noticed when i was deleting stock apps within /system/apps using rootexplorer, that all apps that had .odex/.odec missing (hence your deodexed titled rom). i can manually delete any .odex/.odec files i want right? or is it an all or nothing type deal?
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I'm not having these problems with the market, maybe try to undo everything and then wipe, install this rom and then the lag fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I hope this is what you meant

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417
[Vibrant Android Development] rei165:
Yeah. I normally wipe before I install a rom. The same problem replicated itself when I went to stock but I cleared the cache on the market and it worked. Sucks I thought about it AFTER I went back to stock. I'm thinking about manually deleting all the .odex files. I'm assuming it'll give me the same results?
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
I have no done it yet, two questions Can I apply this update.zip and run the lag fix even if I have ext4 partition ? which was previous required by this rom ?

also Note: I have no plans to install Jac's kernel since I'm force to use Odin and I don't feel comfortable using Odin..

Bottom line latest version of this rom with no lagfix, sdcard partition to ext4, I'm I save to to install lagfix ?

Sorry for the newbies ?'s and Thank you all.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
yes you can, I currently have this rom and the lagfix on top of it
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrantFTW:
Just a note, this doesn't seem to want to update through stock recovery. It tries and says aborted a microsecond later. I used ODIN to go back to stock and then was going to apply the new deodexed but doesn't seem to be working. Thankfully I saved the old version just in case. I redownloaded it and am going to try one more time. If not, I will try clockworkmod recovery and update.

Regards,

B
[Vibrant Android Development] Digitalthug:
I can confirm this, wont work for me either thru stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
It works with clockwork
[Vibrant Android Development] Digitalthug:
Yea we know it works with Clockwork. The issue is that this rom comes with root/busybox. But those 2 features are useless because it wont flash through stock. Which means you have to use Clockwork, which requires root. So you have to use the original root method to root first, then download Clockwork, then flash.

Not a big deal, was just commenting.
[Vibrant Android Development] gehlersjr:
I'm hitting 2500's

Please tell me I want to go to a custom ROM so that Touchwiz is not the main ui in the /system/apps but with the speed I am getting with the JACS kernel why would I switch especially when its only hitting 1400-1500's. My home screens can switch so fast it blurs my vision its sick I have never seen a phone this fast and I came from a HERO not a G1 and I was running CM6 with a OC of 749. Now running 1200 on the vibrant. I don't know I am on the fence right now as far as changing roms till 2.2 OTA comes and theres a Custom build of that.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
The truth is this build is not going to improve your scores on it's own. The main reason I made this build is that it can open up the way for further modifications, but it's not inherently better as far as speed is concerned.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Quadrant is VERY inaccurate, and can be easily cheated. Gotta right a blog about it. If you look at Quadrant Advanced, it shows individuals scores for various system components and how they make up the final score, and they are not weighted or averaged at all. All these lag fixes boost the I/o by about five times, making it take up more than half the score. Everything else can be slow, but if one is incredibly speedy, then you will get a high score. The Nexus One's CPU score destroys the Vibrant score b/c of 2.2 & JIT, but out IO boost is so significant that it makes up for it in the score.

Hope that explains it a bit. Quadrant is only useful when taken into perspective, & the free version just doesnt give you enough info.

Super User Request's

Anyone else having problems with super user constantly requesting access for apps, even though access has been granted and the remember box has been checked? This is especially bothersome running the over/under apps/widgets. Im running the rom ver1.2 with tayutama's update.zip version of ryanZA's lagfix.
[Vibrant Android Development] gehlersjr:
Ok I untested a little better now see I have gotten quad scores of 2770 currently my main thing is wanting adw launcher as my main not touchwiz.
[Vibrant Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
good rom dude!
[Vibrant Android Development] gehlersjr:
One more thing correct me if I am wrong but from my personal experience in overclocking computers the io times make up a major part of system speed. The faster a os can access, read, and write the faster the os can complete tasks. I.e. the fsb on a computer the more it can match a system with faster cpu yet slower fsb.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
You don't need root to use Clockwork recovery. Just download the ZIP file and adb push it to /sdcard/update.zip. Then reboot to recovery and apply packages. Clockwork recovery will start up. See the Clockwork thread, they posted the direct URL for the ZIP download there.

You do need root to fully use ROM Manager, but the two aren't necessarily required to be used together. It's just a lot easier to install the recovery via ROM Manager. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
It's starting to look like the RyanZa lagfix was mostly placebo and fooling quadrant. I'm thinking that on a virtual file system, quadrant may count each transferred chunk of data two or more times, effectively doubling the IO score while seeing few if any real life benefits.

Looks like cyanogen has weighed in on the issue:
[Vibrant Android Development] ArbitrageMan:
Well done. Is it looking for ext2 or ext3 or does it not matter?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
doesn't matter, though I'd refrain from ext4 until JAC comes out with his kernel fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] farrisizdaman:
How large does the ext partition have to be? Is the 512 mb one available from rom manager fine? What if it fills up will it crash?
