[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
nice man. Thanks for the update.
[Vibrant Android Development] splayer7:
Thanks. I didn't know there was a speedtest app. Sweet.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
no prob. restoring back now. lol. Will wait until the new leaks come out later on to test.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
Is it a regression from JI2 or did you not see any improvement on JI2?

JI2 definitely improved GPS... for some people.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Well, so far with all the 2.1 releases I think its more than safe to say that the Sept update from samsung for the US Vibrant will not be Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
As stated before, I skipped JI2. Though I did flash the JI2 GPS files. They at least gave me a lock within 30 seconds. I let JI4 try to lock for a good 15 minutes, and nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Sigh,

Just when I start making a deodexed build for myself to test out (I'm literally such a nerd I can't live without my personal mods, so an odexed rom is a deal-breaker for me, lol.)

Anyway, thanks for the update, cheers

Did samsung even promise an update for the US? I know they did for the UK, and now Spain...still waiting on a update for us US folk.
[Vibrant Android Development] trashcan:
It's not sammy...they already have the froyo out but it's up to Tmobile to test, add their own bloatware and roll it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
We are getting 3 leaks at the same time?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
Source?
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
To the best of my memory, Samsung never said anything about the Vibrant, specifically, getting Froyo in september, only a GPS fix in september.

Everyone quotes all the EU division, or the plethora of unofficially "official" twitter and facebook pages, not realizing that those statements, if honestly legitimate in the first place, will pretty much only apply to the Rest of the World I9000 model, and not the T959 Vibrant too.

Honestly, I think Froyo will come from the community, specifically for the Vibrant, before we see an OTA from samsung/tmobile. I also think its pretty certain that the I9000 will get an official Froyo before we get any unofficial rom for the vibrant though.

And now for my vibrant/touchwis rant, lol.

I feel a big part of the general delay with Vibrant updates (afterall, the epic has already had an OTA update) is the stupid "glossy" version of touchwize on the Vibrant, go look at a captivate, epic, or I9000, all their drawable elements are identical, only the vibrant is different.

And it goes deeper than that too, Samsung re-wrote tons of system apps, including settings.apk (and all its peripheral files) to use a widget.layout view so they could add a custom list_Selector_background_normal.9.png file (ever notice how only our version of the vibrant has "glossy black" look to menu items background instead of standard android all black backgrounds?) That stupid customization goes DEEP, and simply removing their hack from framework-res.apk causes all kinds of errors throughout the rest of the OS.

So basically, once they finally do finish Froyo for the rest of the models in the Galaxy S series, they still have to go back through and customize the version for the vibrant to use all the god-awful glossy elements, menu backgrounds, etc.

Oh well, /rant over, for now.

Cheers everyone,

=)

This leak is sucktastic. I'd settle for the stock modem and leaked GPS
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Simply, No I was not quoting that it was owed or expected, I was stating that the hopeful speculation that this month might include a 2.2 update for the US users of the Galaxy S class phones seems to have fairly officially been snuffed, just a personal observation. Im not angry or upset, more just pointing out the fact that there would be no point to updating 2.1 if 2.2 was rolling.

Pretty sure this also means that if Samsung isnt done making the update, it hasnt been passed on to Tmo for their eternal observation process and approval.

BUT, either way, Bionix 1.3 and Voodoo are more than enough for now, pending jit and froyo in the CM6.1 to be released still ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
they are "leaking them" for us XDA folk to test out, and see which one works for which users, then take the one that works best, hack it up a bit (making it better for some and worse for others) then pushing it out to everyone LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] trashcan:
yup...they are just taking the XDA fixes and integrated back to their rom and say it's a new update.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
They are not saying anything.... It is a "leaked update" after all.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Anyone mention this leak has a boot.bin and spl.bin? I don't remember seeing those in the JFD firmware.

I wonder if this is to address the 3 button recovery mode issue? Since my Vibrant doesn't have that problem anyway I'm probably going to wait.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
What's the build dates on these ? Would ji6 be the newer build of the 3 leaks

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] alpha2beta:
GPS works Just as good if not better then JI2. Remember you cant get satellite location over WiFi Takes forever for me to get a lock. Then I turn WiFi off wait a bit for it to connect to the cell towers and boom, get a lock in less then 30 seconds every time I turn it on with JI2 and JI4
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Wow, with this many "leaks" it looks like someone is just copying the build output directory willy nilly and uploading it.

I think, with JI2 working reliably and quickly for me at least, I'll wait for things to settle down.

I've been kinda hoping that some of the changes in the JI series builds are in preparation for a Froyo switchover, but the more I think about it, the more I agree with others. The fact they're rolling toward another 2.1 OTA indicates they don't really plan on releasing Froyo anytime soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] almyz125:

[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
My phone works great, I am having a blast flashing ROMS and MODS. Tweeking and changing and learning. They can take their time and get it right and if they don't I am sure the guys here will do even better. Nice to have something great to look forward to. LOL if I ever get this phone perfect I would have to go out and buy a new phone to play with.

Havnt you folks EVER seen how fing sarcastic this guy is???? If this ISNT a joke THEN id be suprised...

pretty funny though, i saw it as sarcastic humor off the bat then laughed harder and harder at every quote ive seen since thanking him for the info, LMAO.... thanks guys

[Vibrant Android Development] kanwal236:
Personally, I think samsung is just trying to fix the problems with the galaxy s line before they upgrade, because if they go straight to upgrading, they could make it harder to fix in froyo. If i was doing this, i'd want all the problems weeded out for sure before updating to froyo, they'll come out with froyo when they're good and ready :)

on topic: skipping JI4, ill wait for the JI5 and JI6 updates ;D
[Vibrant Android Development] mustafansu:
I was actually hoping for a good upgrade. The battery life on my JI2 has been pathetic.
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Are you using exchange sync?
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
so nothing "interesting" or "positive" about this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Sorry,

JI5 and JI6 were both fakes. JI6 MD5 matched JI4.

So, we are stuck with JI4 for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
What if you flash the JI2 GPS on top of JI4?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I didnt try it, but I dont see why you couldn't.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewells30:
Eugene has. Check it out. It has its flaws but it should tide you over until the official release.

[Vibrant Android Development] gaore:
Thanks. I'll download it.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Last I checked no wifi and no sound from speakers, and buttons are weird. Sounds like a mess to me...
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
yeah and it's also missing JIT. How do I know this? If he had it he would tell us. Very buggy as of now but i'm sure eugene is working on it as we speak.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
I seem to be getting better 3G connections with this firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
No 3.5mm jack. I use that EVERY DAY. Kind of a non-starter for me, I'll stick with "official" leaked roms, thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] snowdogging:
Back to the current thread...

None of the gps related files have changed between JI2 and this release. So flashing the JI2 gps fix should not do anything. If you are experiencing different gps performance due to installing this release...welcome to samsung.

edited for clarity.
[Vibrant Android Development] royalslim:
After I extract I get a folder containing BOOTALL.tar and SS.DL.dll.

In ODIN I put 513pit file and the BOOTALL.tar for PDA.

After ODIN finished the phone gave me a exclamation mark with a small android.....luckily I was able to get into download mode after 3 hours of trying the get the buttons right, and now I am stock 2.1 again.

Did I do anything wrong? With the stock 2.1 it was called T959UVJFD.tar....so why isn't it the same with this fw? Instead its called BOOTALL?
[Vibrant Android Development] zender2k:
JI6 is out.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
As far as i know, you are supposed to use the 512pit file. That may have been your problem. You really didn't miss anything with this release. I'm regretting even putting this up and wasting peoples time.
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
It has pretty much eliminated the lag from my phone. It was really bad, even with the last leak, but with this leak, my phone is flying now.
[Vibrant Android Development] pgibbons:
The one thing I noticed is that both the MobileAP version that worked with JI2 and the wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre9.apk do not work with my JI4

Ultracompare says there is something different in AxT9IME.apk even though they are the same size.

Quadrant Scores are the similar both with Tayutama EXT4 (~1800's)and without (~800's) as JI2, and stock. (Yes, the Tayutama lag fix works.)

Mobile AP for JI2 installs and appears to work fine.

I'm having the same exact problem! I'm in Dallas, but the phone shows me in Modesto
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
GPS is working over WiFi in this update now. Will report back if that changes. If anyone notices different please let me know now.

Otherwise GPS is working really nicely for me. Locked quick when cold after the Odin flash. Don't have Wireless Networks enabled yet (might be what cancels out GPS locks over WiFi).

Market was fairly snappy, actually it was really fast - faster than I've ever seen it. I got all of my 46 apps installed in like 10 minutes. That's not to say it was slow before because it wasn't.

I had the pit file from the Ji2 firmware (easy all in one I think the thread is called). I re-used that pit file and just used the new tar file to flash.

[Vibrant Android Development] chtse53:
Just to report my experience with this UVJI4 firmware. I don't have any problem with GPS. It works at least the same as JI2. I can get locked indoor in less than 30 seconds after the GPS cache was populated the first time. Accuracy was often <30 feet. MobileAP installed fine using the version for JI2. Boot up appears snappier.

The only glitch was the web browser which showed a disorganized web2go homepage reminding me to enable javascript which was actually enabled already. Other websites looked fine. After clicking some icons on the web2go page, the pages became normal again.

Will report further if other things observed.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
JI4 also fixes the Gallery apparently.
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
What's wrong with the gallery? It seems to work fine to me. JI2 changed the display behavior to show my camera storage folder first, and newest files first in each folder.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
It can hang really bad, sporadically.
[Vibrant Android Development] jslee1020:
ok... JI4 seems snappier even without any lagfixes installed... real life SEEMS comparable to stock+voodoo... however... I'm getting a location not found error... anybody have any ideas??
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
I have j12 and GPS quit working after four days and its now been two weeks and it may work but usually wont. The night mode on the camera quit working also with some other quirks. I was just told by Tmobile that there will be no updates until the end of October, like I believe them. I am convinced that there will never be any updates, just put offs because this phone is not repairable, its a driver and hardware communication error.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
They told me yesterday the beginning of November.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Did any of you manage to get one of those accurate battery mods working on this JI4 build? I remember there was a working mod for JI2 build(Thanks Jocelyn for the hard work).

I see there are some .xml files in the framework directory. I am not sure which xml's and PNG's need to be edited or replaced and whether the newly replaced ones should match original file size and need to be signed again. Did some research and found android .xmls are binary and hence can not be edited without Hex editor. Also there are some metadata issues if you repackage the APK with android tools. Looks a bit complex, now I see the hard work put in by contributors ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Anyone else getting hangs on the gallery? This reason is why I switched to bionix 1.3. Anyone else have the issue?

Other than that good rom

[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks a LOT t1n0m3n, I've installed the JI2 battery mods and mobile AP and they work perfectly.

BTW, Market is blazing fast on this update and so far GPS is working fine. Phone seems slightly faster than JI2 as well...
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
The market is stupid quick over previous firmware versions. However, the gallery although it doesn't freeze up when you open it now, freezes up when you try to view a picture - randomly. It was fixed in one place and left broken in another from what I can tell.

Still no need to do any lag fixes here. I don't see why, and I have plenty of media on my device.
[Vibrant Android Development] justin683:
I ran this firmware for a little bit granted I did have better 3g service my gps was still crappy reverted back to eugenes daily...
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
I did notice the Market is faster and GPS lock on faster as well. I also did noticed the battery drain is faster than stock firmware. Anyone notice this too?

Nope..

[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
So since I missed the JI5 train, I'd like to update to JI4. Before I do, does it requiring unflashing JI2 first? I have that installed from that last "unofficial" update and I'm not sure if I can safely flash from JI2 straight to JI4, or do I have to go back to stock first?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
what do u mean u missed the JI5 train?

it's right here :D

[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
Nice! Thanks. Except after doing some more research, I'm going to hold off on both JI4 and JI5 updates. I'm reading there are a few known issues. But in any case, does one need to unflash JI2 (aka flash back to stock) before attempting to flash to new firmwares (whether it's JI4 or JI5 etc)?

Also, I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but how does having JI2 (or 4 or 5) effect the OTA update? Will we still get it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Qwerty0926:
Gps is fully fixed with Bionix 1.5, better performance, battery life, etc..

When you plug it in are you sliding down the notification bar and selecting the USB Connected > Mount option?

As well when you are done you have to Unmount when you are done.

[Vibrant General] Terrier Hockey:
Yes, I had a G1 for years and that always worked perfectly. The only way to get my Vibrant to show up though is to use USB debugging mode.

I just did some quick googling and it seems mac users are doing exactly what you said you don't want to do, setting usb debugging on, and that seems to be a quick fix. I'm sure there is more info out there in cyberspace, but if debugging works, I say go with it. I always have debugging turned on, incase I need that oops adb action.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
With the OP having one post who knows if he/she really knew it had to be mounted. LOL Figured it wouldn't hurt just to mention just in case.

When i use it on my Mac, i have to enable USB debugging. Then both drives (internal and SD) pop up just fine.
