[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
GPS fix should be coming out in September according to Samsung USA official tweet.
[Vibrant General] DonJuan692006:
I'm actually still teetering o the issue. I've got an old friend who works at Verizon trying to get me to switch. I think either way I'm going to be spending about the same amount of money. The GPS shouldn't be a huge deal for me, but I would like to see it working properly. I think I could handle the gamble. Battery life isn't a huge concern as the most I use the phone away from a charger is around 5 hours when I do some frequent travelling. The rest of the time it'll be used quite lightly so I shouldn't have any issues.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If you've been with T-Mobile for some time (2 years+) there is no way Verizon can even match T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I would wait until September, to see if Samsung fixes the locational services (GPS, Compass). If all of that stuff works then, and if 2.2 comes along, I say pull the trigger. By far the fastest and nicest smartphone I've used -- sans busted navigation.

The Droid X and Droid 2 feel very sluggish and inaccurate in terms of their touchscreens. I've used them each for about five hours, and I can't stand either of them, coming from the Galaxy S. Though it's still on 2.1, and using HTC Sense (yuck), the HTC Incredible is definitely the phone to get on Verizon. The UI makes it a little bit chunky, but Sense is the best customization skin on Verizon. Motoblur is so needlessly cluttered and slow. The worst part: when you swipe between home screens, the stupid indicator dots make the phone, drawer and contacts apps vanish for a few seconds. Terrible design.

If the Galaxy S is fully operational by September, I don't see a reason to go with any other phone.

Hope that helps.
[Vibrant General] applebook:
:confused:
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
What's the confusion? It's like this: if you had to choose between three ugly chicks, Sense is at least a Butter Face, whereas Motoblur is an abomination.

Out of the options available to someone on Verizon, Sense is worlds better than Motoblur in every category. It's still a bloated skin, but at least it's functional.
[Vibrant General] applebook:
I see. I've found the only human being who hates Sense UI :p
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Of course not. How stupid of me to compare two smartphones.
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
I hate Sense too, its ugly...especially the launcher.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
You don't seem to understand the Vibrant comes with a Lithium Ion battery. Every time a LiIon battery is discharged, it loses charge and life. There is absolute no need to discharge the Vibrant's battery at all, much less 5-6 times. In fact, doing do will lower the performance of the battery.

The only "conditioning" Vibrant's battery needs is to be charged for 9-10 hours after you first get it, to make sure it is fully initialized (ignore the phone when it says it is fully charged).
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
In what way can Verizon not match T-Mobile? If you mean signal, I would like to know where you live so I can move there and enjoy T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
If one can wait until September, might as well wait and see the handsets coming out for "Project Emerald", rumored to be T-Mobile's first HSPDA+ Android smartphone(s).
[Vibrant General] LTonthetrack_G1:
GET IT!!!!!!!!!

THIS PHONE IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!! nuff said!
[Vibrant General] applebook:
Why wait only until then? Keep waiting. Motorola has vowed to release a 2GHz Android unit before the end of this year, so wait for that one. Perhaps wait until 2012 for a duo 2GHz model.
[Vibrant General] DonJuan692006:
Or maybe I'll wait until next decade when the phone then are more powerful than our best supercomputer now....lol. I'm not about playing the wait game with electronics. I build computers as a hobby and the same thing happens, I could built one with the best components now, or wait 3 months for the next best thing, but wait, then if I wait another 3 months the next next best thing will be available.

None of this is meant as a rant towards you or anyone else, just a rant in general.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's not what I said and you're most certainly welcome to.

If the OP has good enough tenure with T-Mobile he can get tons of preferred perks that Verizon won't match like $20 Preferred Android Data, $10 Family Text...
[Vibrant General] DonJuan692006:
I would love to get in on that. Right now I'm only getting the 18% military discount, which I'm by no means complaining about.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
You'll want to call into customer retention ("cancel" from the automated menu should connect you directly to them). It all depends on what you currently have as far as discounts and other grandfathered features. Tell them you want to switch to AT&T for the iPhone but want to stick with T-Mobile.

Mention the preferred data plans, and that you want to upgrade to the Vibrant if you stay with T-Mobile. They should hook you up provided you're eligible for a full upgrade or will be soon. If you get a rep that doesn't know about the preferred data plans call back and get another. They do exist.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
1) The GPS isn't completely broken, it does work to some extent and even well in certain scenarios. Samsung is working on a solution. It's pretty clearly not a hardware problem and primarily just software drivers that weren't designed correctly. I don't consider this a big deal, as it will be fixed.

2) The battery life should at least be on par with a Droid X for most uses. The Vibrant has a 1500mah battery, while the Droid X is 1540. That's really not a significant difference, especially when the Droid X has a larger screen.

And this is debatable depending on if you want 4.3" or not, but disregarding the slightly extra size, the Vibrant has a nicer looking display.

3) The Vibrant physically weighs much less than the Droid X, and therefore feels nicer in the hand IMO.

4) Regarding '4G network'... Verizon doesn't even have anything close to 4G available just yet, and even though they have something coming soon, the Droid X will NOT support it. The fastest speeds you can get on a Droid X are up to about 3.2mbps over EVDO Rev A, whereas you can get up to 7.2mbps on the Vibrant, and in the real world I am regularly seeing ~5mbps here in the NYC metro area. In practice, Verizon's speeds are more like 1-2mbps around here. Big difference.

Add in to all that with T-Mobile service being cheaper, and well, it's a no-brainer particularly if you're in an HSPA+ upgraded area.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
5 Mbps? Oh why is Tmobile out to get me... I barely get 1 Mbps on my Vibrant :(
[Legend Android Development] stegg:
thanks and compliments! :D finally we have some ROMs to choose from :)

just one question: why not including the htc dialer?

I appreciate you left some good Htc apps like contact or camera, but I think Htc dialer is good as well :)
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I tried htc dialer, eclair vanilla dialer and dialer one and i found the last one incredibly fast and customizable..

If you want you can install htc dealer without problem!

If you try the rom please feedback so i can improve it! :)

Thanks!
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
Downloading write now, i'll post after flashing. Thanks ;)

Mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/412407401/NeonMod_0.1.zip
[Legend Android Development] stegg:
ok, zeneise, downloading...

BTW can you tell me where download the original Htc unlock screen? ;) I prefer that slide-down thumb :D
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
You have to modify 2 o 3 files.. it's not enough install it..

Tomorrow I'll try to make a zip to flash.. :-)
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
Installed without any problems, ROM seem to run nice and smooth so far. Great job chef, thank you!

In the future i'd love to see tweaked kernel that allows overclocking by using SetCPU :rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
It's not too difficult.. I have to recompile the kernels with some stuff.. sure I will not include it default but if you are interested I could make a zip to flash!
[Legend Android Development] FaBar:
neon, thanx a lot.Now we have to choose.If you get the kernel to overclock it you're the boss, hehehehehe :)
[Legend Android Development] Vuska:
I See Live Wallpaper included.... is there still FC if i want to add a widget ?

and about smiley... are they replace default green smiley ?

** also, do i have to delete / wipe data too to make it run ??

Thank You
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I tried but it seems to work.. I didn't know about this bug..

Smiles replace the default.. if you want I can make a zip with the default smiles.. but I think that those are better..

If you have a 2.03 I hope you can update without wipe but it's always better do it..

edit:

in first post i linked the author of this pack and a preview!
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
Neon87 - top top work! This ROM looks like it's taken the best bits from a few ROMs out there :).

Thanks for your hard work and for giving the community a better choice of ROMs!
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
That would be awesome! Thanks once again.
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I thinks i will finish in about a week because tomorrow i leave for few days..

When i'll finish all the work i'll sure need someone to test it!
[Legend Android Development] arzme:
thanks for this wonderful rom! good job, man!

i'm sure miss the htc sense ui for friends but i sure love the new sms layout. and also how the main menu 'pop in'!

thanks man!
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
I'll be waiting :p
[Legend Android Development] delphiniumo:
hi.. just wondering, does this ROM has a2sd?
[Legend Android Development] LayZeeDK:
How do you install the HTC Dialer manually?
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
I just took the Htcdailer.apk (i'm not sure about the name) from another rom, copied it on the sd an on phone installed like a normal apk. This seems to work for me :)

@rom

can u please add to the next version a apn list like in mdjdroid? its really comfortable :P
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
@delphiniumo

no a2sd is not included and i thinks i will not include it in the future.. i'm sorry..

you can try darktremor (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719164)

@LayZeeDK

as told by xennr3: take htcdialer.apk from a rom and install as a normal apk..

maybe in 0.2 i will include both htcdialer and dialerone!

@xennr3

ok sure! i'm going to include this asap! ;)
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Wallpaper MUST to be set with launcherpro because settings > personalize call sense! Use LauncherPro and Photos to choose what jpg..

@santhy

I'm still working on the kernel.. I resolved an issue about the boot (now it's a lot lot more fast)..

I solved also the problem of the freq and the crash with setcpu..

Now I'm playing a little with the governor and thanks to dumfreq next release has different freq step..

Flashlight:

Not so helpful.. I have no idea why it FC.. Sorry!

@all

Right now I want to finish the kernel stuff and have a kernel that by default run with HTC's freq (min freq lower..) and the possibilty to a stable overclock..

I need time because unfortunately I've got a social life :)

Next I'll release 0.3 with a couple of bugfixes, that kernel and I have some cute ideas..
[Legend Android Development] manudas:
Can you delete this option for the next release?

I´m really surprised about your work. Your rom and yours kernels are the best I´ve seen
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
yeah, nice! :P

i really love this rom hahah
[Legend Android Development] santhy:
It's a NullPointerException. That could mean... practically anything XDDD

It might just mean you deleted something in this ROM from some lib that this app uses.

Anyway, does anyone have any other working flashlight? ^ ^

I'm really interested in the kernel stuff and how it's going.

@manudas, @neon87

In my phone I can get access to Personalize > Change background / Change lock-screen without trouble.

And it does indeed change the background in LauncherPro (as LauncherPro takes that from the phone's settings).

The only thing that does not work is Scenes, because that's Sense stuff.

I know this is already what you meant, @manudas, but I just wished to make it clear : )
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
hi,

fc on voicesearch in the navigation :(

edit: when i start the navigation maps fc :(
[Legend Android Development] lyka:
Scenes problem It's well known.

HTC personalized Settings.apk and uses some custom activity.

I have changed Background/lockscreen selection by triggering a different activity (instead of sense activity). With scenes activity i could not find any substitute. I'm opened to suggestion. :)
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I use navigation all days..

To fix Voicesearch install it from the market again and choose (when asked) the one which finish for ".x".. In next version I'll fix it.. Sorry!

I'm working on interactive governor but it seems to be not so stable and I'm trying to fix it but it's not so simple.. ( and i have to understand if it is good or not)..

Thanks to dumfuq I'm working to overclock and underclock it with others freq..

I'm working on a port of debian to the Archos 5 IT and to another Linux project and sometimes I have to study for the university :p
[Legend Android Development] santhy:
Idk if this is a bug or it's just stuff that bare Android lacks, but:

In the Messages application, I notice that when sending sms with accents (like á, é, í, ó and ú) the sms becomes "bigger" in the sense that I'm allowed not many characters until the message splits in 2. (60 chars instead of 140 or 160)

This is because android defaults for "standard charset" in sms instead of "extended charset", like the HTC messages application has (it's a enable/disable setting).

Can this be corrected? I'd like to write correctly my sms in spanish (even if it seems I'm the only among my contacts who does that :P )

If there's a setring in the OS or in the app, could you point it to me? Maybe I just overlooked it, but I could not find that
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I noticed it too but i can't do anything.. It seems to send the correct number of sms.. it's just the char counter that is crazy..
[Legend Android Development] santhy:
Is it possible to disable wake-on-key (home / menu) without recooking the rom? ^^

Btw, as a personal style, I dont like so much color on the top bar. And I tried the "MOD for all Legend roms" yo customize the notification bar, I tried all the versions for this rom and they did not work. I know I should posr that there, and I may do that tomorrow. My point is: can default htc (or default android of you wish) icons be included instead of the supercircle bat., and the wifi/nosound/sync coloured?
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
Oh please come back neon ^^
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I'm alive :)

I'm working on others project too and I'm studying for an exam..

Asap I'll release 0.22 and a new kernel (really good kernel)..
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
No problem :P just thought the rom project is dead :)

connection problem

Hi,

i have one problems with this great ROM.

1.) when i go to my calendar, press the MENU key > More > calendars > again MENU key > add calendars an empty window appear, and i cannot add any calendar.

any suggestions ?

I'm running this 0.21 ROM with V3 kernel.

PS: oh! and yes. i have also this problem, by customizing my theme in settings>personalize.
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I think you have to create a calendar with google calendar and then add it..

As told in others post settings>personalize is linked to sense but sense is not there no more.. so DO NOT use settings>personalize!
[Legend Android Development] dunai:
Using and working nicely, thanks :):):):):):)

I really love your rom, but, my internet isn't working. Wifi is working well but only my normal internet doesn't. I have the new radio, don't know what's the problem! :(
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
maybe in the future.. ;)

really strange.. it works for all of us..

try to post the adb logcat..
[Legend Android Development] molleke:
here is de logcat, i don't know the problem either, i have the new kernel (v3) and new radio but still doen't work!

Hope you can help me :)
[Legend Android Development] gustonator:
I had also problem with my internet. i had to set manually the APN.

I have another question. is it able to install applications to SD Card? I have the App2SD application intalled, but it doesn't work.
[Legend Android Development] molleke:
when i try this, the screen stay's black i can't modify anything!

who can help me:confused:
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
app2sd isn't supported.. if you try to install this i can't give you support because i didn't try it yet..
[Legend Android Development] gustonator:
And will it be supported? or when do you plan to include Froyo into this ROM ? :)
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Still alive :)

Soon (tomorrow?) i'll release v4 kernel that i used last 3 weeks really really good..

Stable overclock and bfs..

Right know i'm working a little with cyanomodgen and other stuff because i find cyanogen damn fast..

Maybe neonmod will be based on cyanogen? God only knows (if he isn't using an iphone! :p)
[Legend Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Might want to include aufs support as well? To make system overlay ;)
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
If this will allow successful use of metamorph and thus application of themes.....YES PLEEEEASE!! :D
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I think it's better to wait alpharev unlock of hboot (s-off)..
[Legend Android Development] tamaster92:
Any updates neon? I'm nervously waiting for this to hit, I have a special feeling about it
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I need more time because I have no time..

BTW new feature are a lots but i want to tell that i removed the overclock because i never use this and i don't want to test it..
[Legend Android Development] tamaster92:
Ditto :-) good to hear that your still working on it
[Legend Android Development] therealslim:
messed up my phone
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Everyone that installed this rom succeded.. if something went wrong post a logfile or it's better to don't post anything!

Btw i have really no time to do anything.. too much work at the university.. when official 2.2 will go out maybe..
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
That's sad to hear. :(
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
Ya i'm sad too but right now if you want a good 2.2 rom we can use azure or the nightly build that work really good.. aliba is doing an amazing work..

official 2.2 is going out in few week so is pretty useless to work on 2.1..
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you find time you should contribute to CM, you'd be a welcome addition I'm sure :D
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
Any more feedback? How are people getting on with this ROM?
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
I don´t know if its my fault but at night i was in flight modus and today i wasn´t able to start the mobile internet with apndroid :(

After a restart the problem was gone.

Lets see if this will happen again tomorrow.

edit: how can i remove the iconpack? i don´t really like it :D
[Legend Android Development] FaBar:
And the HTC Camera, please,Neon!!!
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
I think there is the HTC Camera? :D
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I know about that bug but it's not fault of my ROM.. it's 2.03 that has a problem..

For others: HTC camera is included.. and ok I will restore the default icon pack..
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
Ah okay, i hadn´t known that this is a bug from the 2.03 because in my stock 1.31 there wasn´t a bug like this ^^

Oh no u must not restore the default pack just because i asked how to change, maybe someone other likes it. I think its quiet good but i don´t like the blue 'vibration mode' icon because its hard to see ^^
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
I meant I will make a zip file to flash with default icon pack :-) it's just a file to mod it's not a problem..

I leave few days andon Wednesday I think to release 0.2 with some updates and with some packs to flash based on user like!

Next I will finish the overclocked kernel for 0.3!

Make me know about others modifications or stuff to add in the future!
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
Sounds good :)

Maybe u can try the 2.05 ROM which used mdj, i think i hadn´t the mobile internet problem with his rom.
[Legend Android Development] FaBar:
You're very polite,Neon.thank you very much for hearing our wills.You're great.
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
Wow, Neon87 - the perfect developer/chef - you're very open to requests and changes! That's very nice of you!

I am not sure what Nano or Bash allows the 'normal' user to do, is that not only useful for dev guys? Anyway...

...This ROM is nearly perfect, it takes away all HTC Sense stuff :D, makes stuff like Facebook uninstallable :D, includes Supercirle Battery :cool: and Wakeon with menu, home or double trackpad! :cool:

However, I think to finish this ROM off, this dialer would be perfect: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685959

Looking forward to your next release(s), I hope I've rooted by then.... if time permits :rolleyes:...

1] There seems to be haptic feedback in various places, i.e. lockscreen (when you either unlockor make phone silent), where can we disable stuff like this?

2] In Clock, the alarm clock button works, as does home button, however the other two do not? The music one ends in force close whilst the final button does nothing?
