Woo Hoo!! Just got the Vibrant today read a little and BAM!! Worked like a charm no problems. First boot up only took 3 minutes!!

Quadrant:

Stock: ran a 903

After rom and partitioned 4gig class 6 ext.3 partition= 1365

Dude it's fast!! I thought it was perfect before!!

When you guys flash make sure clockwork zip is in internal sd card and also the rom zip!! That step might steer people wrong if they erase clockworkzip after intall or put rom on removable sd card.

For the newbs unlockr.com has a very easy step by step...might help??
[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
Finally got to install this, and like others it turned out great! Wetn from a Quadrant of 900 to 1400! Awesome! Thanks for your work!
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
oops.. Meant to respond some place else... Must be late. :o :confused: :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] nsavani:
Im gonna try this rom today. But before i do i had a question that i didn't see yet. Does this work with stock vibrant rom or do i need to flash another rom or kernal via odin before i do this rom? Also will it delete my apps and data?
[Vibrant Android Development] gPhunk:
Data connection FC issues within Apps

Flashed ROM and booted up fine. Had some FC issues but was able to Fix Permissions via ROM Manager. I have however noticed that I am still getting FC errors on apps that use data like Facebook, Seesmic, and even the Market. What is crazy is that I can browse the internet without issue, browse apps IN the market without issue, but when I either go to the Downloads page or try and download an app, I get the FC error. I have Fixed Permissions 3 times now, any suggestions? Preesh!
[Vibrant Android Development] mikespy:
No need to flash another rom or kernal via odin. Like any rom it will delete all data so save it. It'll be like you bought the phone for the first time when it starts up you will have to resync.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikespy:
Maybe uninstall apps. Format sd/card and or ext3/ext2/. reinstall card and redownload apps.

I usually always like to start out with a FRESHLY formated sd card before flashing any new rom. Prevents some headaches or at least eliminates that as a suspect when problems arise especially when you start playing with ext.2,3,or 4.

With this phone though since stuff is stored internally. I would probably do above and if it doesn't solve then you are gonna have to start out fresh all over again with rom making sure everything is wiped via clockwork. Do you have the JAC kernal and ext. 4??
[Vibrant Android Development] Chalup:
That sucks, sorry to hear. I have been using this ROM for a while now and have had absolutely zero problems. Have you tried redoing the entire process? Could the permissions of the .zip file before flashing have anything to do with the fc issues you and others are experiencing?
[Vibrant Android Development] ytj87:
No problems flashing here.

1. Came from a rooted stock ROM.

2. Booted into Clockwork recovery.

3. Formatted system under the advanced menu. Did not wipe.

4. Flashed using the any zip command.

5. REBOOT TOOK ONLY 3 MINUTES.

6. Fixed permissions in Boot Manager after some FCs.

7. Rebooted.

8. Quadrant in the high 800's.

Am gonna hold off on part'ing my sd card.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
So you can flash this in clockwork and no need for odin?

EDIT: i cant read. I mis-read this as the kernel lol sorry
[Vibrant Android Development] gPhunk:
I have ext4 but didn't realized you needed JAC's kernel. I tried doing a full wipe and flashed this and everything worked fine so is the kernel only necessary when not wiping? Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] gPhunk:
Is Boot Manager an .apk? The trouble I had with fixing permissions via ROM Manager was that ROM Manager was getting the FC before it had finished running the script and I couldn't figure out how to do it from within the Clockwork recovery. (Use RA's recovery on my G1 which had "Fix Permissions" plain as day)
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
The kernel isn't neccesary at all. You just need to have an sdcard with an ext partition present when you are installing the rom.

I do get better Quadrant scores with both the rom and the kernel, 1550's vs 1780's. But there is some wakeup lag when using the kernel at the moment.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fortune090:
Ok, I need some help from the dev here... I'm from the Captivate forums.

I managed to flash this update perfectly fine on my Captivate, and speed fixes ARE there, and it's clearly the Vibrant ROM. This is one of the only completely functioning speed fixes (regarding custom kernel-built problems), BUT there's one problem. The GPS isn't functioning at all.

Just want to know if there's any knowledge on this, or what files relate to just the speed fix? I've been working on trying to get the ap2sd working on its own, but I haven't been able to make any progress...

For me personally, the GPS not functioning isn't a big problem because I don't use the GPS anyways, but I know some people out there do, so it'd be nice to have a speed ROM that's really easy to apply and has no problems... Almost there! :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
Great scores but how??

Hey there Krichek, How in the world are you getting up the the 1500+ scores? I'm getting low 1100's with this rom but havent tried the Kernel yet.

I'm using a class 6 sd and ext3

any other tricks you're using?

John
[Vibrant Android Development] bildo:
Use ext 4
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
No tricks at all. I think a lot of it is the phone and the card you're using honestly.

I'm using a class 2 16GB card.. With just the rom and an ext3 partition I was getting 1554ish consistently. My wife with the same setup except for an 8GB class 2 card gets 1470's consistently.

I reloaded mine then flashed the kernel using the same card now formated to ext4 and get 1780's consistently, I have gotten as high as 1897. But I had to remove all my widgets and run right after a reboot to get it hehe..
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
I performed a system wipe through Clockwork and performed a factory/data wipe through recovery and applied the update (also through Clockwork), it successfully installed, however I still have apps like the Avatar icon, Gogo, MobiTV, Sims, etc, was I missing something that I needed to wipe? I do understand that the OP says that no wipe is required, I am just wondering if these apps are supposed to be there as I thought this was 'mostly stock'? Which is what I am wanting. I know there is another thread detailing what you can remove, I was just under the impression that this was mostly stock. Did I miss something to wipe? Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Mostly stock as in how it comes from TMobile, not mostly stock as in straight vanilla Android.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
Ah okay that is a bit disappointing, I was hoping for vanilla (close to) android! But thanks for the information and quick reply. Guess I will be hunting down and removing the software on my own :) Thanks again for the quick response.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
I have however encountered another issue at the moment with it, I can't seem to download apps from the Market? It says 'Starting download' but does not actually begin the download, haven't seem this issue come up while looking through these forums. Permissions issue maybe? Will run the fix permissions from Clockwork to see if that resolves the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
It's most likely a market issue. Seems to be some growing pains as of late because that happens to me a lot. I wouldn't worry to much, just give it 30 mins or so and see if it doesn't correct itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
Do you need to flash the kernel found here on xda to use ext4? It didn't work with my ext4 now with just the ROM at least...

Also, in case... do you flash that kernel before or after this ROM to get ext4 support? thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] farrisizdaman:
Do I have to have the ext2/3 partition before I flash the rom or can I flash the rom then make the partition
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I did not try an ext4 partition prior to installing the kernel. I see know reason why it would not work tho. The more likely issue is that either you didn't have the ext partition after the fat32 partition. Or one wasn't set to primary.

As for the kernel you would flash it after, follow the steps in the kernel thread as there is a file that you need to copy over and verify that it is there first.

Technically I don't think it has to be there when the rom is installed if you are comfortable with executing the scripts yourself. If you want it to be completely automated tho then yes, it needs to be formatted correctly and inserted when you install the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Thanks Man, My phone is hauling butt now.

First partition 12.8GB fat32 second partition 2GB ext3 on external SDCARD.

Flashed the ROM through ROM Manager.

Gravy!!!!

I have a Class2 16GB Sandisk I took out of my G1.

I'm thinking about getting the new Kingmax 8GB MicroSDHC Class 10 card for $34.00. at 16MegaBytes Per Second transfer rate I bet that thing will cook.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrantFTW:
Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and info posted here. I breezed through flashing my Vibrant. I simply booted off Gparted and used my stock 2GB card for partitioning. I will upgrade that later but she's flying compared to stock! Now I'm slowly removing all the rest of the bloat apps!

Regards,

B
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
I am getting only like 1150 max on quadrant, I have a class 6 Sandisk 8gb card, formatted on my g1, previously through ubuntu, just ran dd on it the other day and was doing 10mb write, so I don't know why my scores are low. 1gb ext3 (also ran repair after partition and upgrade to ext3). Is there anything I need to wipe beside system and factory data reset
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
When you ran dd how much data did you test with?
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
I used dd to write zeroes to my card as I had been suffering from some slowdown, it improves quite a bit in transfer, down from about 4mb to 10mb write after
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I was asking how much data did you write? 5MB? 10MB? 100MB? Knowing how much you wrote would help.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Does this rom have a 'stock android' look? Or is it just a cleaner install of the normal vibrant rom
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Hello,

I am curious. which rom kitchen was used to deox this? Ive seen alot most do HTC and others. I dont see any for samsung?

Please do tell me via pm or something.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
It's "stock like" as stated in OP... If you flash it without wiping(factory reset) you can't tell the differens in look, just in speed :)

Btw... I got a quadrant of 1800 with a 8 GB SD class 4, with the new kernel + ext4 :D:D
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
100mb to test it for read and write
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
I used Dsixda's rom kitchen. The update script required a bit of modification and of course there's no way to flash a boot.img (yet) but we'll figure it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Thanks.

Can you put up the update script? so we can all do things?

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
Most anything you could think of is in the g1 dev section or in the android dev section...

I'm finding myself going back now reading all the stuff I thought was "too advanced" back then.. And then purple came out with the easy ways and I didn't have to learn it..

1421 on the stock POS 2GB card. I used EXT3 and set it up for 1.5GB. I have removed almost all the bloat software as well with Titanium Backup. Phone overall speed has definitely improved greatly! I can't wait to see what a 2.2 FROYO build will do with some of these tweaks and a proper CLASS 6 card.

any one got a mirror for the file? " 27 min remaining"
[Vibrant Android Development] MSigler:
Slightly off-topic, but I'm running this rom on a Captivate and everything works great except GPS. Any idea why? I assume they run the same GPS hardware.

I'm about to start digging in and comparing the GPS software, just wondering if anyone had already done it before I go spend a few hours looking through code.

More specifically, GPS just never starts, it's as if it's not there. You can "Turn it on", but it doesn't do anything, and in the GPS test screen it never looks for satellites or anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr. Horse:
Rom wont install for me due to incomplete update-script line 60

it seems that line 60 is missing the fourth argument for the set_perm_recursive entry

it shows up set_perm_recursive 0 1000 0755 SYSTEM:etc/init.d

should it be set_perm_recursive 0 1000 0755 0750 SYSTEM:etc/init.d ??

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Ok, so I'm ready to pull trigger on this rom but got some questions ?

Ok, so I'm ready to pull trigger on this rom but got a single question ?

Once I partition my 8g card, let's say ext3 "1.5gb" since am not planning to use Jac's kernel which from what am reading don't need ext4 unless am planning to flash his kernel, WHERE do I place the rom .zip in this thread ?

Do I place it in the external card that I just partition or do in place in the internal 16gb where I have my music applications ect ?

Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
The internal... :) and for better quandrant score I recommend JAC's kernel + ext4... Raised my benchmark from ~1400->1800 :)
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
I am ready to pull the trigger too but I'm confused. I place the rom.zip in the internal storage root but I need to format the external card first? Why would we use the external card for OS installation?
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
I flashed this last night. Everything works extremely well (AND FAST!!). I have a question, however:

How do I upgrade my micro sd card now? I cannot access the ext3 partition from my windows pc in windows explorer (at least not that I can find), so how do I copy the files from my current ext partition to the partition on my new card?

looking to upgrade to an 8gb class 6. TIA
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Thank you much.... Last question

What to flash first Jac's kernel or this rom (sequence)

Lastly Do I need Odin to flash kernel ? about Jac's kernel link ?

Thank you all greatly appreciate all your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] JustinLoe:
I seriously think this thread needs some directions in the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] numba1cuban:
Flash the Rom then JAC's Kernel. Yes you do need odin to flash the kernel. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=744655
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
the rom, then JACs kernel.

If you have clockwork recovery, you can place this anywhere in internal SD and you can flash it, if you don't, you need to name it update.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard.
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
please forgive noobieness...

I have clockwork installed, phone is rooted. I also have a 8gb card that has not been formatted yet. Do I:

1. format card and add ext4 partition

2. use clockwork to install the rom

3. flash Jac's kernel per instructions

how large of a partition do I need?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Totally up to you. Since it doesn't store the entire app, just the data/dalvik-cache, I don't think you'd ever need more than 1GB.
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
That's reasonable. My 8gb card is an old class 4, should I use the one that came with the phone? I'll have to move Avatar first of course.

Also, did I get the order correct?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
The order is correct. I'd keep avatar, as I'm regretting deleting my copy already ;).

Also, the card that comes with the phone is a class 2, class 4 is more than adequate. Note that when partitioning, you want the order to be FAT32 and then ext(2,3, or 4).
[Vibrant Android Development] shtay:
Best and easiest way is to get a Ubuntu live cd and use gparted.
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
Thank you. I keep a gparted boot cd handy, but good to know it comes on the ubuntu live cd. So I allocate the remainder of the space to the first FAT32 partition and then crate the ext4 partition. I better do this now before the Starcraft 2 bug hits me.
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
Any thoughts on how to upgrade an sd card?
[Vibrant Android Development] Compliance:
Anyone else having the "missing argument" line 60 error?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
crap, my bad. I made an oopsie in the update script. Should be fixed now.
[Vibrant Android Development] shtay:
Are you talking upgrade EXT3 to EXT4? you can do that in gparted with Ubuntu as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] fb_hexedit:
What do you guys mean by wipe system? Format system in clockwork partition menu?
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
i got the line 60 error, rebooted phone and it came back on but took really long to boot as if the new rom is installed. How do I check if it worked?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
if it took a really long time to boot then it probably worked. If you want, though, you can check using a file manager or adb if there are any .odex files in /system/app. If there are, then it didn't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
using asto a serch in /system/app for "*.odex" found nothing but my quadrant score is only 893. Is it not using the ext2 partition or did it not install the rom correctly?
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
tester?

anybody with this ROM on there phone want to test a metamorph? I have a white status bar morph that I finally got to edit the xml thanks to a deodexed rom... problem is I dont have odin on my home comp..

I have flashed the morph twice and it boots past the galaxy s but sends me into a force close loop, I think this is because my ROM is odexed... I have to nandroid back to stable...

I need someone to flash the Morph then wipe the dalvik-cache and see if the ticker has changed... I would really appreciate it, thanks in advanced..

If not I can just wait to get to a comp sometime tomorrow...
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:

[Vibrant Android Development] fb_hexedit:
Anybody know what scripts to run to get it to use ext4 partition... got it to once but then it lost root... now after several wipes and re-installs it continually does not use the ext4 partition apparently ... I reformatted in gparted .. but no luck... need to know what is going on a bit deeper
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
Downloaded the rom file again and installed one more time with clockwork. Works great now, quadrant score doubled. I had to use an adaptor and format the sd card in my netbook using gparted for it to recognize the ext2 partition.

Thank you anomalous3.
[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
yep. rebooted, aperently it partaly loaded, ive got stock apps back, lost su, and wifi is broken.

ok, seriously, how in the hell do i upgrade this sd card?
[Vibrant Android Development] ELFungi:
I'm wondering if anybody has got it to work using this method. I tried a couple times to flash this using stock recovery (even after reflashing back to stock ROM using ODIN) and always got an "Installation abort!". Not sure if it's the script or my phone, but I could only get it to work through Clockwork Recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] kraftey:
So I assume this is not normal... flashing went smooth, then rebooted and after about 30 seconds on the galaxy S screen the screen went black (but the buttons still light up)

Should I pull the battery to restart? wait? Hopefully this isn't a terrible sign?

edit: waited about 20 minutes then pulled the battery. Not a terrible sign, but I can't seem to get a different result no matter how I flash... black screen every time.
[Vibrant Android Development] neasoon:
Use adb logcat after the screen turns black to see what's happening. Perhaps your /data/data is missing...
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
Does this rom have all the bloatware taken off?
[Vibrant Android Development] Legaleye3000:
I installed this ROM and I don't see any difference. I thought it would be a "vanilla" version of 2.1 with all of the Samsung crap taken off...? Its as if I didn't even flash the zip in recovery... Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
So none of the stuff was taken off?
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
Legal... This is a tmobile vibrant stock rom (with some goodies)... Not 2.1 aosp stock..
