Thanks for posting your findings, Eugene. Saved me a lot of restoring
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
Well I never flashed it simply because I'm satisfied with Hybrid r3 and the intended changelog states:

So.... at least thats the intention. Unless when you mean "not seeing any differences" as the standpoint in where you applied tweaks to make the GPS actually work and you're not noticing a difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I am not sure about this. I am new to the whole android scene, and so far from what people have posted, this update isn't really that substantial for me to go through the trouble of flashing my phone. (I will have to learn everything from scratch).
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
No I mean my gps still takes forever to lock and drops signal every 5 min. Could just be my area I'm in seattle

It's not just you! I can't get a fix at all.

It doesn't look like this includes the GPS fix that Samsung has promised. Or, if it does, it's a hardware problem, not a firmware problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] amd_203:
My GPS actually works a little better. It's a little faster and more accurate now, so I don't know if it contains the fix or not but all I know is my GPS simply works better.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
LMAO that's always been there :p ;)

I'm gonna flash this and see for myself.

I like flashing stuff ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
my god!!!! The compass finally works!!! That alone was worth the download for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lakers3408:
I never had a problem with my GPS, although I heard and read many stating a GPS issue, I never noticed it. It may be a little slow but never inaccurate for me, always found me within 10 seconds.

As for the "Brightness Setting" in the browser.... lol ... thats always been there from day one. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] djunio:
I would say that it is worth flashing, my gps is better and the compass is working. Phone is faster and theres no lag.
[Vibrant Android Development] monsta34:
How does the flash work in browser?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
HOLY FK ME Man, Lakers you didn't tell me you got a Vibrant!! I need me Beta Tester back :D
[Vibrant Android Development] amd_203:
Honestly, for some odd reason I never noticed it and I use the browser all the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] widto08:
I'm torn. I want to flash this but some of the reports are conflicting. I already did a nandroid and TiBak. Is it really worth odining this??? Eugene??? JAC???
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
For the life of me can't get Odin to recognize device. I could have sworn I installed drivers... danger we need a zip to flash in recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] amd_203:
Another thing I noticed. The Gallery has some small changes. The "Photo" album that holds your pictures taken using the camera is in the front of all your other albums. Before it was last because it started with "P" Also new photos are in front of the albums instead of last. That's what I'm getting at least.
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
I'll stick with my current ROM .. thank you, .. at least until Froyo is out.

Thanks Eugene for testing this update. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Not really, I & Jac both have switched back.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Eugene mentioned issues with the new kernel so if you do decide to flash another rom make sure you flash a new kernel too.
[Vibrant Android Development] DuckmanEG:
ditto. I have tried everything. But cant get a yellow port.
[Vibrant Android Development] iwillkillyou:
I like the reviews I read, downloading the firmware now,
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
I flashed this (after doing Nandroid + MyBackupPro on my important apps) and so far, it's working decently. It feels faster overall, but the HD Camcorder app keeps locking up the phone.

My GPS also works now, whereas it didn't at all on stock. It never locked in a single satellite no matter where I was, and Maps locked up the phone. Now, I've got 5-8 satellite locks, accuracy in the mid-teens(ft)
[Vibrant Android Development] bluethundra:
My GPS is working a lot better now. I get a faster lock and more sats in use.
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
Has to be.. reports are coming in that it works, results vary I guess.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
so for those who wants to revert, what are the steps? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Restores apps and settings via titanium, setup facebook contact sync and tinkered with it a little.

Even with the services running it's still responsive, no significant slowdowns. There was some lag when launching apps but it's acceptable now, once their running switching to them is pretty snappy.

Shutdown/Bootup is faster now too.

I'm pretty satisfied with this release overall, I'm not one to use other firmwares for more features as this is my phone and I want my phone to just be responsive and able to use apps. My N1 is my testbed for firmwares and other things.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Damn Odin seems simple but damn can't get it to recognize. Any good totorial on driver installation. There's like 21 files in the 32 bit driver to point the install too. Which one?

GPS using GPS Status w/t udpate

No matter what "fix" I applied prior to flashing this update I could not lock onto more than 3 satellites. I can now lock onto at least 8 satellites with no setting modifications. I cannot definitively say that the GPS is fixed; however, it appears that way.
[Vibrant Android Development] robotfactory:
Everyone who's had good luck with the GPS-

When you flashed through ODIN, what ROM were you coming from? Did you flash to stock before flashing this through ODIN? Does it matter?

Did you change the GPS settings after flashing?
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
The ROM I was coming from is in my signature. I did not flash to stock first. In ODIN I flashed the 512 pit and the updated firmware. I did not change any GPS settings. Give it a while to get a lock for the first time. Remember this considered a cold start. once the GPS gets a fix it should lock on faster in the future.
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
I was using the stock rom, I didn't flash or do anything beforehand (except make a Nandroid and use MBP). I flashed through ODIN, and it went very smoothly.

I may have spoke too soon about the GPS, though. After a couple of reboots, Maps showed me as 3 streets over and slowly moving farther away, and now GPS Status fluctuated between 4 and 0 locked satellites with 100ft+ accuracy.
[Vibrant Android Development] earljg:
Thank you!

Every GPS fix I tried barely got my phone to lock onto a satellite, now I easily get 8+ and in several seconds! My data speed stayed about the same, I have always had a great signal at my house though. It does feel snappier, like I still have the lag fix applied.

Only two things I was most concerned got resolved. I can wait patiently for Froyo.

Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
coming from absolutely stock rom, some of my market paid apps are not showing now. even when I searh for them.

im going to go back to stock with a stock firmware I downloaded earlier using ODIN, is that okay?

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Yeah, CM would be nice...

but I think it is going to be a bit of a wait. Aside from that, I was using CM 6 near the end with the MyTouch. It was way too slow. I know it is meant to run on faster phones but it was running blazing fast on CM 4.1.11. I switched over to HTC Clay's Fasttest 3.1 and gave it to my wife.
[Vibrant Android Development] jersey_609:
Unfortunately That's what happens when you flash a test Rom if its not a official release there is a few things missing that show certain apps try using a market fix

[Vibrant Android Development] robotfactory:
Anyone familiar enough with the build.prop want to check it and see what's different between this firmware and the one the device shipped with? That might be causing the market issues if it's not reporting the right version.

Everyone. Let Eugene take a look at it. I'm sure he'll figure some stuff out. As with any update, on any phone, give it a day or two, stuff will get worked out...

[Vibrant Android Development] robotfactory:
God forbid that anyone other than a couple of devs try to make a project better.
[Vibrant Android Development] Waffle Slayer:
This gets asked every few posts. Its been answered dozens of times within this thread.

You have to flash ODIN using the 512 pit file.

Check out the Vibrant Bible for help flashing ODIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] djunio:
Yup, its basically the same bit it crashes after wvery post. Tapatalk doesnt, after the update it hadn't crashed on me yet.

Edit, it just crashed oh well. This update is still worth a flash. Noobs might still wait for a .zip but what's the point? This is a dev forum right? If you run into a problem work it out, can't have your hand held forever.
[Vibrant Android Development] mjb337:
just wanted to be sure since my vibrant isnt rooted it dont mean nothing bro
[Vibrant Android Development] Waffle Slayer:
Just trying to encourage you to read and search the forums first cause most of the time the answer is already posted.

If you can get into download mode via hardware buttons then you shouldn't have a problem flashing ODIN.

Otherwise you'll want to do the rooting and install adb and do it that way. All of that is in the Vibrant Bible though.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I can 100% confirm gps works. I got 7 out of 9 satellites and went for a drive, no blue circle and GPS followed the whole way. I even went off course and it rerouted instantly. I also did a my tracks and it looked pretty. Unless it gets worse its considered fixed for me. I'm gonna have to eat my words in general as I posted this was hardware. Well, I was wrong. Woops. Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ColbyRyptos:
so funny I have had a vibrant since the day T-Mobile released it and since day one rather I'm running stock or hybrid. My GPS works flawlessly usually get 9 to 11 sat locks and never looses signal

( I live in Orlando FL)

I do not have this rom and Will not be getting it

It's not Samsung. All of Samsung's twitter accounts have the same background from what I've seen. If you want to know when the new official firmware is going to come out, then you have better luck on following the twitter account linked below.

[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
OoOoOOooo.... this is starting to get interesting. I wonder if they're just hyping up the rom to get people to sign up with them or if it really performs. I'll let a more veteran user try, as I'm new to the scene.

And what DKYang said, it's not samsung posting that, and it isn't official.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Go look in the dev section. It's being flashed and has some new things.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ^Fs:
By holding down the home key to bring up the recently opened apps menu my phone resets the default launcher and will ask me to select one the next time the home key is pressed.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svennebannan:
I am going to root my desire and was wondering about nandroid backup. Does it do a backup of my stock rooted rom AND radio or just the rom.

I´m thinking because if I try a custom rom I have to use the specific radio for that rom. And if I then go back to my stock rooted rom with my nandroid backup maybe it needs the "stock" radio...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
Nandroid backups everything but ro make sure get Titanium back up free from android market :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzdcoy:
there are no 'specific' radio's for different roms, only if you use any froyo roms will you will need to update the radio to a higher version compared to stock.

If you want to revert to stock you can choose to either keep the updated radio or flash an older version.

[HD Mini ROM Development] malima17:
I decided to write this post, for help some one start to use HTC HD Mini (Photon), I have been used four HTC brands, I love these toy.

Sorry for my English, I live in Brazil, and Portuguese is my native language.

1) ROM – Customization to Portuguese:

- I bought my Photon in Brazil, but it was produced in Asia, and my official support is there, I download the last official ROM from HTC site (RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE _ .... .exe), and installed it.

- I recommend to make a hard reset.

- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the POWER button shortly and release it.

- Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset.​

- I download the last Portuguese ROM from the site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660897, thanks conflipper, I put it in a empty folder.

- I use the WinZip program in the file “RUU_Photon …exe”, function “Extract to here”, for extract the files, I copy the file "RUU_signed.nbh" in an empty folder.

- I download the “SSPL”, from the site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694409, thanks Cotulla, I put it in the same folder of the RUU_signed.nbh file, I extracted it with WinZip.

- I connected my Photon to USB computer port, I’m using Windows XP, SP3, and Microsoft ActiveSync (V. 4.5.0).

- I run the program DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe, the first time you run it, the Photon will ask you, if you want to install the program, click “yes”, at that point the program DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe “failed” in my computer, don’t worry, live the Photon in the three colors screen, running the Cotulla SSPL; run again the DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe, follow the program commands, wait until the program finish with success.

- I disconnected the USB cable, removed the Photon battery , and did a hard reset.

Remember this SSPL, only flash Splashes and OS images, the original Radio is not changed.

2) Programs I’m using:

- Internet browser: Opera 5.1, under JBlend, for quickly navigation.

- Internet browser: uZard WebP Ver. 2.0 (QVGA), for watch video.

- Skype for wm.

- CommonTime mNotes, for sync with LotusNotes.

- PHM RegEdit, registry editor.

3) Tip Enable cleartype:

- Run the PHM RegEdit program, and change the registry.

- HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen" then change the "Hide" key content from 1 to 0

- Screen control panel is available under "Sense Settings tab > Menu > More > System".

Enjoy,
[HD Mini ROM Development] Rade80:
Thats to enable the Screen control panel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptJager:
Sup all,

As every Incredible user knows the signal bars are messed up from the factory. I have created a update flash that will fix this problem and get a little more out of your phone. This is only for CM6 not for any other 2.2 or 2.1 rom as it will not boot past splash screen. I have not tested this on Ruby.

D/L Removed

Enjoy

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
I guess this works, just flashed and the bars seem higher but they always jump so I really can't tell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BillytheKid82:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] itch808:
same here, I noticed CM6 does what stock sense did with under reporting the dB into signal bars.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptJager:
This is what it fixes, the under reporting the db into signal bars. I can tell you this while driving to another town 30 miles away I used to have pandora stop streaming because of signal level for at least 20 of the 30 minute drive. I now can drive the entire way listening to music. This will not solve no service issues but might help, plus is a great improvement in weak signal areas. Remember db -120 is no service at all. For Ruby I will be working with sniffle to get this incorporated.

CJ
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
So what exactly its the change? Is there any way of also posting up the stock file incase this doesn't make any improvements.
