so yea... still no go, getting worse.

i ran busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576

from a terminal on the phone using update1 with update2, and it was flying.

i didnt use adb, i figure why not just run the command on the phone, right...

so this time, as you said userinit.sh is already renamed to used, it should be the same just skip that step...

i ran it now, and the phone locks up, terminal crashes... and there is no file named used....

is it me? do i need to start fresh again?

cant i just use terminal local on the phone to run the commands? (it worked with previous set of updates)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Just check again, it named used.

You are in /system/bin correct? when trying to mv right?
[Vibrant Android Development] ewells30:
Eugene, Eugene, Eugene....Wow man, you done it again :) An awesome rom. Do you ever sleep? Keep up the good work :D

Anyone else unable to use MMS? Also, any clarification on the lag fix? I'm confused by instructions on OP... thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Android Development] erickrios:
I went ahead and installed update 3 and it wiped everything, I don't mean to sound ungrateful because after all this is all free and all the hard work is really appreciated, but why couldn't this be an incremental update? I got my phone just how I wanted it and now I have to start from scratch, again.

Will update 4 do the same thing? Will I always have to start from scratch? I wish there was a non-wipe update from 2-3.

Thanks for all your hard work as usual.
[Vibrant Android Development] killster:
trying update3 again...

the lagfix is kicking my a$$ and its like 5 commands >:o

i assume its me, ill keep trying, i deff have no used in /system/bin

*sigh*

besides that, i cant get past the first busybox command, it locks the phone up...
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
It's not Locked up, take 2-3 minutes to Run the First command

Um? No you Don't have it... Just Noticed your ATT logo, I didn't include used due to not have your Phone
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
could somebody tell me how (or be merciful and simply post) the two scripts as an .sh file so we can just us gscript to run the lagfix?

I have gscript, but I don't know how to turn the posted terminal commands into the necessary .sh files. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] killster:
thank you sir, commands ran successfully. phone has booted.

quadrant update1+2 = 1100+

update3 withoutlagfix

quadrant was 925

lagfix completed on update 3

quadrant is 2250!!!!

where is that buy this man a pepsi???

you my friend deserve it.

*note to noobs*

--be patient, and dont complain about non incremental updates, if he can he will.

--be greatfull and say thanks.

---wonder how that sap who bought my iPhone4 is doing :P
[Vibrant Android Development] ewells30:
This is in reference to the lag fix instructions in the OP

All I did was load up adb shell and typed in the following commands

adb shell

su

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576

busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0

busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg

busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0

mkdir /data/data1

mv /system/bin/used /system/bin/userinit.sh

reboot

And then ran Quadrant to see what my scores were and I am getting 2229. Try that and see if it works for you - it should.

Alright I know this camera app is more functional, but I've gotten use to how the stock one is set up even the file storage (crazy I know). Does anyone know if installing the zip of the stock camera from the thread for replacing it with the captivate version will break anything here?
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
OK I have 3 up now for a few hours. Thanks again Eugene, great work! Especially with the GPS that is just sick, you make the guys from Sammy look like jokers.

I have two small issues that I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing.

1) from update 1 through now my phone is just pinned on 6 bars, it never moves off no matter where i go.

2) I am having an issue with MMS, either they are not received or going very slow. and the SMS is also very slow. (i send a lot of both) I have fixed permissions 3 times and installed handcent but the problem is still there. I upgraded straight from JI2 to 1, 2 and now 3.

Flashing more often than a drunk college girl at Mardi gras
[Vibrant Android Development] ewells30:
Just tried to send a MMS and I had no problems with it at all. It sent. I have not had any problems with the ROM at all. Super smooth and everything works.

[Vibrant Android Development] erickrios:
I had no idea that asking a simple question made me a noob, I have no idea what his plans are but I guess you would know right? Since you're not a noob I guess I should ask you instead because you're the all high and mighty thread spokesperson.

As far as saying thanks, wipe your nerdy glasses and go back and read my posts, all I do is thank him.

Sorry for cluttering your thread with junk Eugene, just had to get it off my chest.
[Vibrant Android Development] cazper210:
thanks bro i was lost for awhile cause my lagfix never found the userinit.sh file saved my ass i wish i found ur post earlier saved me a lot of time of looking i was almost considering switching cause if it

How to hard reboot Vibrant?

And what is lagfix? Is it something that speeds up the phone. Well, I don't feel any lag then why does everyone else uses lagfix?

After the update3 I get 18ft now on the gps! Was the running program manager removed from this build? I don't see it in the apps and really liked that one, Anyone got the apk for it? I would have backed it up from the previous rom had I know it was not going to be added.

Nvm, I'm blind, its there.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
lmao :eek:

now now, lets be Nice....

Regarding the no wipe... I guess could have, but.... oops
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:
Eugene all I can say is you are a master. I'm on update 2, I have the vol. down disconnect problem but I don't care about it. The TV out problem doesn't exist for me either. Just saw 2 movies perfectly on my screen with the fam. In you opinion should I jump to the new update? Nvm, I'm jumping now and will let you know what I find. Ty sir.
[Vibrant Android Development] lp1527:
Thanks for the reply Eric- I just ran the fix, seems successful, just rebooted... besides a quadrant score, any way to 'verify' that I was successful?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] shoong512:
is there a way to access the files folder? it seems to be missing.
[Vibrant Android Development] nealpatel:
how do you find the quadrant score?
[Vibrant Android Development] fit333:
***and wait for reboot 1minute*** QUADRANT 2420. nice. thanx.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewells30:
Look at your sdcard and storage section. Look under application storage. A gb should be missing due to the lag fix. That's how I know it works besides the quadrant scores.

Hope this helps

waiting for a video :)

i checked out the older updates to this rom and they weren't for me; I actually like a lot of things about touchwiz, just a few minor things that do need to be changed. I can see from the update log you have a lot of the things i like with this update, but still waiting for a video review/overview before i proceed to flash my device (i have like 15 pages of apps i don't wanna lose ;_;)

I am having trouble syncing facebook. It let me sign in but it never shows up in my synced accounts and doesnt sync with contacts. if anyone has an idea let me know.

edit I figured it out there were two facebooks to sync with haha i didnt even try the second one.

Its all good now amazing rom I am loving it so far very snappy
[Vibrant Android Development] nealpatel:
I can't do lagfix as directed in OP.

This is what I did:

adb shell

su

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576

busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0

busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg

---- Then I got this : "losetup: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory"

is this how it's supposed to be? Or am I doing something wrong?

Does anyone else this problem?

[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
Is everybody getting their GPS working with this ROM? I'm not getting a quick lock as I used to get with JI2, I have go from this ROM back to JI2 and back to This one like 4 times and always got the same results... in JI2 I get a lock withing 30 seconds the first time I boot the phone and after that I get a fix in less than 8 seconds... but once I install this ROM, it takes between 3 to 5 minutes to get the lock for the first time... after the initial lock if I restart the phone it takes like 1 minute to get a lock again... Is something I need to do additionally to get it to work with this ROM?

items working

MMS/SMS/GPS(within 20 meters) are working.. for what its worth...

--i see some sill questioning it..

sorry if the noob statement offended, i was speaking about myself : n00b to android anyways, and i really appreciate everyones help on this site, even those who just point out issues (thats part of the process to fix the crap). so give me my brown nose emoticon, ill wear it proud :o)

better that then a stock vibrant.

MS exchange working as well (more importantly than GPS/MMS)

:o]
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Great job, yet again Eugene!

Got my stock i9000 touchwiz theme, accurate battery mod, and some default themes, apps, settings all thrown into my own personal Frankin-Twiz-3 rom, and paired with JAC's voodoo beta 4, overclocked at 1.2ghz, Quadrant scores of 2k.

GPS seems to be better finally too, though the compass is still totally awful on my phone, even after wiping, calibrating, etc. over-and-over, but oh well, can live with that with this kind of performance.

Cheers!

facebook and lagfix

So I've been trying to sync contacts with facebook, and I've heard a couple of other people have the same issue I'm having as well. Updates work, and the widgets work, but they do not show up on my contacts. I had it working perfectly on the stock ROM, and have NOT installed the facebook app from market.

Also, on version 1 of this ROM, I was able to apply the lag fix, but now I'm not about to do it again. When I try to type in the first command

(busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576),

the system just hangs, and then I have to back out of terminal and force close. I've done it before on terminal, so again...any thoughts of what's going this time?

Thanks...other than that, love the ROM!!!

Steve

The error I get from accounts and sync is

"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

Please don't hurt me!

I'm new to this whole Android thing, So how do I flash a rom, if you could post a link on a how to or something that would help a lot, sorry for wasting anyones time. The rom just looks awesome, and I want to go for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Just wanted to say thanks for making this, I couldn't be happier, well I dont think, but I am sure you will out-due yourself again on your next release, but this with voodoo, is running great. I was on Hybrid R3, and decided to try this out, and now I am not going back. I love how you fixed the homescreen issue of TW not letting you use some of the screen for shortcuts or widgets, that was why I was using ADW, but now Frankin-Twiz has made it the best of both worlds.
[Vibrant Android Development] JDCuban:
Excellent work. Installed all my backups and all is well.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Root your phone if you have not already, you can find a link to how to here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746129

Download Rom Manager from the market

Download the Frakin-Twiz from the first post(put the file on the internal sd card, not in any folder (root of sd card)

Open up Rom Manager app, chose install Rom option

choose frankin-twiz zip, check the option box that opens up to back up current. click ok, let it do its thing, and if promted select option to reboot when its finished.

The backup will take awhile and make sure you have enough battery, or just plug it in to be sure.

If you want also download (purchase makes more options) titanuim backup to back up all of your apps w/ data. if you pay for it, you can hit the menu button on your phone, choose batch mode, the free version you have to back up one app at a time. ( if you do this, make sure that you only back up user apps and data, if you do system data, some of that stuff will mess up this ROM if you restore and give you a bunch of Force Closes)

Hope this helped some, if i missed anything important anyone else feel free to chime in, I just went from memory and have flashed my vibrant to many times to count.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:

When you install the ROM it automatically wipes all the data. It's a requirement I guess.

Don't freak on reboot, gps can take up to 2 minutes to cache all the data. Just let it do its thing.....

So far GPS works great ranges any where from 4m to 6m, Compass needed serious calibration, but works. No obvious signs of lag and it does appear to just sips on the battery which is awesome.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
You wont need T-Mobiles GPS update. This fixes it for you. ;)

Froyo just wait I'm sure it will be released and I'm sure snappy and smoother than what T-Mobile can put out.

If ADB still works as you said it does, then just pull the DCIM folder out of the device.

Everything is working really good, but ran into a few small problems (I been using Vibrant9 for the past few weeks).

1) Can't get my contacts to come across from Exchange Server (waiting and waiting)..

2) No Calendar to sync either, but i think this is a different issue

3) I use LCD Density and 2 issues I found was the launcher, once using in 165, the screen is really compacted and not usable with this built in launcher but works fine in ADW or LauncherPro also the dialer is not using the full screen but it's usable to play with. Overall pretty quick fw.

I'm having the worst time with update 3. Force closes, market not working properly, titanium backup force closes (edit: force closes on restoring apps), etc. :( I even used ODIN to go back to the stock Vibrant firmware, then tried update 3. Same issues.

Edit:

Just saw the market problem has something to do with google, so nevermind about that.

Edit 2:

Also the reception is pretty bad, it was full bars on update 2. :confused:

Either way, thanks Eugene for all your work and dedication to the vibrant community. :)

Edit 3:

Seems the titanium backup problems are coming from busybox. It force closes on 1.17, but works fine on 1.16. That's odd because it worked fine on update 2.
[Vibrant Android Development] infamouskim:
I see. Thank you for the quick response. Crazy Fast. Jimmy John's fast! HAHA

From all the issues that I'm reading.... I'll hold off updaing to the version 3 because I'm guessing that version 4 is not far behind :)

No its not based off of it, it has a few files from it, based from other leak, so voodoo works fine. Well at least for me it is. And i used the clockwork recovery one.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
The only issues so far are the signal bars. Supposedly it displays that you only get 1 or 5 bars.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Yep I agree, everything is fine, except the signal.
