Has anyone tried flashing the black gloss theme by johnybueno over hybrid bc ive tried r1 n r2 with the the theme and my dialer stops working, as if it isn't installed it doesn't show up in the app drawer and I can't make it a shortcut either because it doesn't show up in the app list, but its in the the system/app folder. I have tried pushing pushing dif dialers into system/app but no success, has anyone ran into this problem if so have figured out how to get the dialer working.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
I actually have this working with JB's theme AND the Samsung Dialer on R3. Steps:

Flash R3

Flash Theme (Remove Settings.apk out of the theme .zip or you will lose MobileAP)

Copy and Paste(using Root Explorer) files into system/app: Dialeractivitytab.apk & Contacts.apk

(both say they are not installed, but will appear)

Fix permissions

Reboot

I dont sync FB with my contacts so I dont know if that works. Besides 15MB of RAM for FB syncing is not worth it to me. Im not sure if I am breaking anything, but I would say that everything looks to be okay and I am not getting FC's. I get AWESOME battery life and seems to run just as snappy as it did without the theme. This worked for ME (not responsible for you), hope it helps someone else out.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
This is a highly modified ROM and any theme needs to be made for it and for it alone. Stick with Vibrant(1-9) if you want to use most, if not all, of the themes that are circulating
[Vibrant Android Development] robertwind89:
Thank you allg1 and thank u creator
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
Ok, rebooted phone to try and see if that helps the fact I could not change my wallpaper. It let me change but now it is rebooting every 30 seconds are so.

Any ideas?

Edit : Tried pulling batttery still same. Everything was fine untill I changed the wall paper to the first on looks like purple lightning
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Have you tried to "Fix permissions" via Clockwork? What have you done other then flash the ROM? Did you restore your System Data with Titanium Backup?
[Vibrant Android Development] robertwind89:
Allg1 u r the man I have everything I ever wanted out of the hybrid now, I love the samsung dialer:)
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
Where do I find "Fix permissions" in Clockworks do not see that option.

I restored data several hours ago without issue using TB.

I flashed the rom late last night. This morning about 5 hours ago I downloaded/reinstalled some of my apps, I then did a TB restore of data.

I have just been reading the forum since then not really uding the phone.

I wanted to change the wallpaper I read a post that said rebooting my fix the unable to change wallpaper problem. I rebooted when the phone came back up I taped and held on the screen slected Wallpaper and picked the first one to test. It changed the wallpaer then started rebooting and still is. I did have the Phone connected via usb the first time I turned it off

Found the "Fix permissions" option ran it I don't know if it finished or not but It did not fix the issue still rebooting. Should I just try to flash the rom again?

Edit #2:Reflashed the ROM and not setting things back up. No more constant rebooting right now. Maybe I can narrow down what cuased it if it does it again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Thanks for this - a couple of questions:

1. Assuming it should work fine to skip the theme and just install the Samsung dialer/contacts, right?

2. Installing both of those files will give me both the TW dialer and contacts, not just the dialer, correct?

3. Where did you pull those files from? I'm planning on extracting them from Vibrant9, but maybe would prefer to do exactly what you did to make sure it works.

I didn't apply lag fix or restore anything with Titanium, so I'm guessing I won't have any problems - I just flashed R3 and dl'ed my apps from Market. Thanks a lot for sharing this tip! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ambrishptl:
I want the Samsung Dialer but not the theme... so could i just copy and paste those files (From Vibrant9) to the R3?? Anyone tried that or do you think that would work??

Thanks in Advance!
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
:D... No worries bro, I was in the same boat as you. Thought id mess around a little and see if it would work with out breaking anything. Battery life and speed were the 2 things that were most important to me in Hybrid and both seem to be intact as they would be from first flash so I am happy. Creator is also right and we could be doing more harm then good but I'm keeping an eye out for that. Now that you have everything I suggest you share some joy with eugene... Just a suggestion though :).

@ump: I'm sorry fix permissions is in ROM manager itself. Under utilities. Run it and reboot immediately after. Fix? If you still have problems & restored system data via TB (at any time) reflash R3 and only restore app and app data... Nothing else. What's the outcome?
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
I did find the "Fix Permissions" and ran it. I don't think it had time to finish before the phone rebooted again. I finally re-flashed the R3 Rom and am loading TB and Clockworks. Will use TB to reload apps and data.

Will report back when done.

As of right now no constant reboots.
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
@ALL~G1 Well so far so good.

I restored apps and data from TB no issues. I reinstalled the Kindle app and downloaded the book I'm currently reading, no issue.

Moving on to restore other user settings from TB.
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
I was able to restore all of the other "green" user setting in TB without issue.

I moved on to the last thing I did before the rebooting started which was change the wallpaper. As before I held my finger on the screen till the pop-up window came up then selected wallpaper moved to one I wanted clicked set wallpaper nothing. I clicked over to CWR and clicked "Fix permissions" then rebooted. After reboot the wallpaper I selected was there, I changed it a few times just to be sure everything was ok, as I type this my phone is going through constant reboots.

This is just weird. I can only guess at this point that some user setting I have restored is conflicting with the change of wallpaper.
[Vibrant Android Development] kiapolo:
Was having some stability issues with rc2 and rc3. Went back to Vibrant9...I really like these no TW roms, though...
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
I tried extracting the contacts.apk and dialertabactivity.apk from Vibrant9, and pasted them in the folder, and fixed permissions. Rebooted - no dialer or contacts at all, realized I didn't tap and click "install" (duh). Rebooted - still no dialer or contacts.

Can anyone clarify this process for me? Must be missing something ... thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
are you sure there is nothing else to do to get the original dialer back? I tried the copy/paste thing,,, also tried to installed,, and it said app not installed... I did fix permissions , reboot and now I have no dialer at all...
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Ditto - nandroid it is. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
Ok, I may have a idea as to what cuased the problem. TB had a "green" user setting that was "Wallpaper/Settings" I have been restoring it. This time I did not restore that one setting and so far no issues I can change wallpapers and no constant reboots.

The next thing I noticed is that the first time I flashed the rom my contacts did not all come back after I did a TB restore the 2nd time I got the contacts back again, third time no contacts again. Where are the contacts kept? I must just be missing them.
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
any way to install the Samsung Dialer in this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] mixedboi88:
Thanks Eugene this is amazing!!!!

wanted to thank you for all the awesome work... the only concern i have is in the main app folder....my apps dont scroll like the nexus one does. could this be an install problem? other than that i love it!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] rpesigan6:
download the launcher called launcherpro and you can customize it to your liking.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
@bugdog & eortizr: As stated that's what I did to get it back with the theme. Also as stated, doing it this way maybe doing more harm then good to the ROM. I'm happy with it so try as you will.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I am having ZERO luck with getting your steps to work. Going to keep trying, but I may just give up :(
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Are you flashing the blackglossfull.zip too? I guts it maybe in my steps... Let me take a look see & I'll edit this post later.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
*cough*Ehem*cough*

just use this method to replace the dialer. ADB is a lot more reliable at replacing system files and making sure they are working without a separate installation...

if this still doesn't work ill have to dig up another post i made, using a method i learned and sandwiched together steps from multiple posts made by sonique to properly remove system files and all their parts FIRST then replacing using ADB push
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
also guys you have to realize all~g1 replaced the framework.res file with the one in the black gloss mod (my favorite theme btw, rocking it on vibrant 9 since its the best of both worlds imo) and that likely has something altered in it now that is allowing the dialer to work again....
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
I think that must be it - thanks!

For now I'm back on Vibrant9, flashed back to a nandroid. Performance doesn't seem as snappy as I remember it though, so I may re-flash V9 and see how that works out. Also extracted Launcher2 from R3 and replaced Launcher+, that seems to work great and I'm lovin' it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Thanks poop! lol... Yeah I looked in the BlackGloss.zip and the only files it has are:

in app Dialertabactivity.apk and contacts.apk. In system, framework-res and the twframework-res. Technically I am replacing the system framework to support the 2 .apks.

Sorry eugene if this is mucking up your thread. Hope you dont mind too much.
[Vibrant Android Development] OHHitsKB:
Well all that matters is it's fixed now! Great ROM Eugene! I only rooted for the first time very recently, and your Hybrid R1 was the first ROM I flashed. So far, your ROMs are the ONLY ones I use! Keep it up!
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Thanks again for sharing it; might have to give it a try - sounds pretty sweet! Feel free to post any screenshots you want :D
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
heres the post i made a while back when eugene was trying out stuff on his previous roms so people like myself who like some of the TW apps could push them back successfully if they werent included.

like i said before just place files from any deodexed rom or one of eugenes previous roms on the root of your C: drive on your computer for the

ease of following the directions.

also remember your own folder/folder/file.extenison for what your pushing, this is just an outline, ie. you will push the lib file to /system/lib/****.*** or whatever the case may be for your situation.

hope this helps guys/gals
[Vibrant Android Development] darkshadow2k9:
will this method work for feeds and updates widget i believe it is
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Here you go... Mobile app in settings and the dialer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Question for you, if you don't mind - you say "Flash Theme (Remove Settings.apk out of the theme .zip or you will lose MobileAP)"

Can you break that down for me a bit? I just tried to do this by unzipping the black gloss .zip and delelting the settings.apk, then creating an archive of the rest of the files. I went into clockwork and applied the R3.zip, then immediately (w/out reboot) applied my new zip, the reboot - failed, black screen. So I'm not sure of the correct way to do that, I guess - I went back into recovery and just flashed R3 by itself for now.

Thanks if you can help at all - I would love to try your setup if I can get it working! :o

EDIT - tried it with the full Black Gloss theme (which is beautiful btw) but still no dice. Think it's going to be V9 with the black gloss for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
I did a quick search and didn't see this posted, but is anyone else having a problem getting the device to go into Kies or Media Player mode after installing this ROM? I'm using the default launcher, but still get the error about only being able to connect in idle mode. I use WMP to sync my music/playlists, so I'm really hoping I'm just having a brain fart here.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
considering kies is totally samsung as is touchwiz and you just downloaded and installed a rom that has touch wiz ripped out as much as possible right now i would try going over to eugenes other thread dl the vibrant 9 rom and then try hooking up to kies again.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Check your PM.
[Vibrant Android Development] nanim0n:
hey howd u get the stock dialer
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Kies? We don't have a kies program that works for our phones yet? It just doesn't wanna connect to kies unless someone figured a way to connect kies? Of course it was like 2 months ago when I tried.

any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Got a reboot when I was messing with google voice app I haven't done the lag fix yet only had this rom on for about 30 min, THx for your work:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Klyentel:
duh

took me all day to figure out that if you wanna use a custom/overclock kernel with this rom (such as OCv4.2) you have to add the "kernel-update" folder to the Vibrant_Hybrid_r3.zip and resign. Then flash away, it loads with new kernel. And all the while I was constantly flashing with Odin, leaving me stuck at vibrant screen every time

I feel so newbish:o :o
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
you actually prob just forgot the init.d folder like it says in the directions at the first of JACs kernel thread???? possibly???

Hey Eugene...

just saw this in another thread.... a pic of the facsinate lock screen...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772920

I know that your pulling more and more away from the TW portion of the Vibrant but I would LOVE to have this working on my Vibrant 9 rom....

Just wondered at the least with all your tearing through the Vibrants Framework.res and editing the puzzle shadows ect if you possibly saw where this could be placed to make it work??? Way better unlock with this then the crappy slidethe whole screen thing they got goin on with stock, dunno why this wasnt the go to method with the vibrant in the first place...

they have a system dump for the fascinate already as well as the framework.res already in a direct Dl from the OP in the link i posted above...

mind givin it a look if you have the time (ha i know your a BUSY man) or shootin me a pm with anything you may think of off the bat?

Are you kidding me with this?

16 hours of constant use.

over 30 min of voice calls.

Brightness is set at 30%.

Sent and received over 130+ texts. 2 were picture messages.

Wifi has been on for at least 4 hours.

And yet I still have 50% of battery remaining. This is by far the biggest improvement I have ever noticed on my battery.

I tried JD before, other roms, but this one takes the cake. Thanks again Eugene!
[Vibrant Android Development] jshuford:
I dunno...

Is this Hybrid based on Froyo 2.2? I am kinda waiting on Froyo 2.2 due to it's Flash support.

TIA
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
No, it's based off 2.1.

Hi there,

I just wanted to drop a quick note of praise for Eugene. I have no idea how you did it, but my Vibrant's battery is now on steroids! It lasts and lasts and lasts. Unbelievable how the Hybrid ROM makes such a big difference. You have achieved a major performance improvement in a phone that in my opinion really has only one flaw: battery life. But with the hybrid ROM the battery is no longer an issue. Wow! Thank you for your efforts.

Out of curiosity, what is it about the ROM that makes the battery last so long? Or, putting it another way, what is it about the original Samsung ROM that eats up the battery so much?

Best wishes,

Pablo

[Vibrant Android Development] karmasore:
Is there any real benefit to upgrading from r2 to r3?
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
I'm curious. I'm currently using the NAND version of the lag-fix options -- which, as I understand it, just moves the /data/data to the internal 128mb (faster) NAND area. It's very, very effective, if you can handle the smaller data space.

Anyhow, when wiping/loading new ROMs, does stuff like this get changed? In other words, would applying this R3 ROM revert my previous lag-fix automagically, or will it still be there? I'm guessing that I should undo the lag-fix prior to loading a new ROM, but I've always been curious about this.

Anyone know?

*UPDATE*

Well, I guess I answered my own question. I backed up my current ROM before doing *anything* -- meaning that the NAND lag-fix was still in place (77mb free of 128mb). After the backup, I moved the /data/data to stock -- undoing any/all lag-fixes. Then, I installed the R3 Hybrid ROM. After some configuring, I backed up my Hybrid ROM and then restored my original. What do you know? My NAND lag-fix was back in-place upon restoring -- exactly as it had been before I started any of this.

Very interesting.
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
I haven't used R3 for very long, so I'm just chiming in a "thought"...

Are you checking the *actual* battery percentage left, or just what the notification bar icon shows? The original Vibrant icon usually showed about 20% better battery life than actual. I was in for quite a shock when I installed a battery percentage icon.

Anyhow, I don't know if the R3 is showing... 1) a different version of the stock battery icon, 2) a version of the *actual* battery life, or 3) truly has better battery life than stock. I'm hoping for option #3, of course :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
Well everyting seemed to be fine. Went about 18hours and no constant reboots. Then around 11:30 am I turned the phone off removed the sim and placed it in my old phone to pull some contacts off the phone. My old phone decided it was time to stop working all together so I gave up and put the sim back in the Vibrant and powered back on. Rebooting every 30 seconds again. :mad:

Reflashing the rom and will restore apps and Data only! No other settings and see what happens.

Here is a list of user settings I previously restored maybe someone here can see an issue:

Accounts

Application Widgets

Bluetooth Pairings

Calendar Storage 2.1-update 1

Alarms Clock 2.1-update 1

com.android.providers.userdictionary

Contacts Storage 2.1-update 1

Country, Language, Timezone

Voicemail Dialer 2.1-update 1

sms/mms/apn Dialer Storage 2.1-update 1

Desktop Launcher 2.1-update 1

Playlist Media Storage 2.1-update 1

Messaging 2.1-update 1

Wallpaper Setting Current Settings 1.0

Setting Storage 2.1-update 1

Bookmarks Web 2.1-update 1

Wi-Fi Access points

That's the list.

thanks

Jesse
[Vibrant Android Development] pfmartin:
It truly has better battery life than stock. I should have explained earlier, but I am checking the actual battery usage and status. For example, if I check right now I have the following:

Settings -> About phone -> Status: battery level: 68%

Settings -> About phone -> Battery use: 8h 4m since unplugged.

I NEVER had this type of battery performance when I was on stock. This is unbelievably better. Please keep in mind that I have made quite a few phone calls, been browsing the web over EDGE (don't have 3G yet in my area), and generally had the phone in my hands most of the day doing something or other on it.

For the record, I do not use task killers or any app that is supposed to prolong battery life.

I really don't understand why the ROM has such good battery life and I hope that Eugene or someone can explain how this could be.

Thanks!

Pablo
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Maybe you need a new sim? My vibrant came with one, so you should have one - not sure how to activate it, but should be pretty easy.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Dialer and contacts are pretty much the only thing that changed. Also receiving MMS works now. But make sure you read a few pages back to push the build.prop into /system

I really don't know what Eugene did, but I definitely get longer battery life with r3 than I did r2. Maybe it's just me, but my battery seems to last a lot longer.
[Vibrant Android Development] nranson:
Eugene, thanks for this build. This was the first ROM I flashed and I like it quite a bit. Look forward to further releases and updates from you.
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
Old phone was already on its last leg, that's why I got the vibrant. I have had the vibrant for over a month with this sim and have had no issues.

My thought is that one of the setting from the TB backup I was restoring is conflicting with the new rom settings. I posted the setting from the TB backup hoping someone might see something that could cause a conflict.

Thanks for the reply
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I kept getting reboots like every 2 min the screen would turn black then wouldn't turn back on when it did turn back on you could tell it did a reboot, I applied the lag fix too it was running well until about 10 min ago with reboots ever 2 min had to go back to the nan :o
[Vibrant Android Development] ump:
So maybe it's not just me!
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Are you using an OC kernal?
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
No just the stock one
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
What did you restore with TB? Any system data?

@ump: what happens when if you don't install any system data? No reboots? I would recommend that you only restore apps and APPDATA only. No system data! For testing purposes manually set that stuff. Report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I used TB for my apps but I clicked "app only" because I wanted to start fresh I'll try it again here in a few and see if it still happens the rom was fast just reboots every 2 min is something I cant work with.
[Vibrant Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
ok so is anyone benefiting from the lagfix thats in the original first post? i dont have one enabled and the phone is pretty darn fast. just wondering if it will actually increase anymore. i know the quadrants are much higher but im talking about actual use.

btw i've tried everything mentioned to fix mms and i still cant get it to work. anyone?
