[Vibrant General] Devin5277:
Yes the majority of the people that come to this board want to "make there phone better than stock". Most of the people that come here for info on phones get info on the real capabilities of that phone, not how it is going to run stock. Imo you should not come to xda if you are not going to try customs roms.

it makes no sense.

I will put my modded vibrant against any phone out there. I love it, and its becuase of the devs here.

If you want info only, go to engadget
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Well yeah the name xda developers in my mind would suggest that this is a place for modding there are other sites to keep you up to date with android tech, android central phone dog so on and so forth to my understanding and in the stickies it states that this site if for developers and people interested in modding there devices and learning developing from reading more or less a sharing of information to mod for developers and most of us are really kinda just lucky enough to benefit from it in a variety of ways be it knowledge or mods or hopefully both I'm not saying there's something wrong with being here to keep up to date but there are sites that might be better for you if you like keeping your phone to stock due to the fact that most of the stuff here you have to be rooted to execute anyhow rooting to me its a mod to begin with so a lot of stock questions don't appear here unless usually its about reverting to stock just saying

Constantly Drinking
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
Well, I understand your point, but it really has nothing to do with the point I was making (that the "well you can always install XXXX rom" excuse to overlook the shortcomings of a phone that SHOULD have been released with all features actually working).

I know what this site is, and it helped with getting the most out of my G1, but that was more for fun since I already knew that it was no longer officially supported as far as OS updates. This site IS full of useful info that has noting to do with modding, BTW.
[Vibrant General] ori2:
OP is interesting since it is pointing out what we have experienced like ji6 update or so even though it did not correctly expect the release date. Now I can see the OP is somewhat reliable which means we would be sad not to have the froyo rom soon. OP's info is roughly stated, though.
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
Your 5th Vibrant?! Seriously?! I know exactly what the problem is with your Vibrant. You sir, need to go stand in front of the mirror, and the problem will be revealed.

I can only imagine what the reps whisper to each other when they see you come waltzing in through the door!
[Vibrant General] roguly:
this thread again? jesus...
[Vibrant General] oka1:
T-Mobile..... Schmobile

Why should we care i have Froyo already, My phone benches slower than my friends G2 but My phone operates so much faster and smoother with the great custom roms the devs here have made (benching ...so over-rated:rolleyes:). Why wait for Tmobile, flash the one of your choice and you will have this phone the way it shoulda been coming right out of the box.

Tmobile is just has newer infrastructure so for me it has the best reception in my area.
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
Ha, funny. If a product I pay for doesn't work right, I return/exchange it. I don't settle like you obviously do. Other than the first one and last one, all were mechanical problems that no amount of super roms or updates could fix. Thanks for playing! :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] agentscuba314:
Why buy an android device if you don't plan modding at some point in time. If anything I learned is that carriers mess up the android experience and you should want to cut them out as much as possible. They know this and this is why they try to lock the bootloader to prevent you from gaining access to things yours phone can do normally. Not to mention the bloatware you can't take off. Plus when you can undo the mod and make it seem like nothing has ever happened, what do you have to loose?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Why buy a WebOS device if you don't plan on rooting?

Why buy a WinMo device if you don't plan on modding?

Why buy an iPhone if you don't plan on Jailbreaking?

I hope you don't buy a MeeGo device without plans on rooting and modding...

Why buy a WP7 device at all?

Broken record with lots of scratches... This sounds dumb.

This site is better than engadget for news. That's why lots of people come here.

I know you guys want this to be a developers' heaven (and it kinda is), but until you have nothing but heavily modded developer sections people like us will continue to visit this site and these forums to get info about, and talk about, things that are 100% unrelated to hacked up phones and modded ROMs.

You're always free to ignore our posts and/or threads about non-development topics, and you're always free to get your phone for whatever purpose you see fit - we'll do the same.

We shouldn't have to have crappy morals (voiding warranties and lying about it to get replacements, etc.) to expect decent devices.

In any case - yes, the OP's post is starting to seem rather accurate these days.

Never again, Samsung... Never. Again...
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
N8ter, a simple question for you. Why not just sell the phone and move on? In so many threads all I see are complaints coming from you. I just don't understand the logic. If you hate the phone so much, why are you still using it? You have options.
[Vibrant General] ori2:
I agree with you. We just want the official froyo from Samsung as soon as possible. I don't know why people are trying to just ignore the seemingly accurate info and urge themselves to be ok with custom roms. I understand why this forum exists but there are lots of users merely seeking new information.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm in the process of selling it. It's on eBay.

Way too make ASSumptions, though!

But I may hold on to it for a couple months, anyways, because I want to wait until Sprint or Verizon get CDMA WP7 devices before I decide what I'm going to buy next.

Yes, I have options. I have options right now without buying another phone. I don't need you to tell me this. However, the way you say it so nonchalantly almost gives me the indication that you believe money grows on trees.
[Vibrant General] fnjamesiii:
I don't understand why anyone is even upset about Samsung not releasing Froyo for this device. You knew what you are getting when you bought the phone. And to say that your going to charge back your credit card on receiving damage or faulty equipment your nuts.. is the phone working and did you get what the box and specs say you are going to get. Yes. You are only being a baby because you want the newest and greatest after you bought the phone. You will never be happy. So live with it. Or just buy a new phone every few week to keep up.. of just want for a mod to get what you want.. Because legally Samsung never has to update the device to Froyo on submit update to fix issues on the phone like the GPS problem.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Well samsung has broken promises in the past so maybe that is why some ppl are upset :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Same old talking points. Please abuse the Enter key in the future...

Half of what you said was wrong, anyways.

It also has nothing to do with what's legal.

I'm not using those buggy ROMs. You can disagree with my assessment of buggy all you want. I'll just tell you to go read the development threads, or the threads on T-Mobile's Vibrant forum about them. Going from one buggy rom to another, buggier ROM, is not worth the time and effort.

I can care less about what the developers are doing because I don't use any of their **** anyways. What's so hard to understand about "I can care less about Modding my phone. I'm not here for that."? If the response wasn't directed at me, then fine... Whatever... If it was... Then I can only fathom why? I can care less what ROMs are in the development section. I have zero interest in them. If I did, I'd be in that forum...

Boring.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulja234:
I can get into recovery with Clockwork. I tried wiping and flashing dreaming but it still hangs on the boot screen. I also tried getting amon ra's recovery back, but it didnt take. How do I flash back to root so I can flash my old rom back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Using fastboot mode(power + on)?

From there you can flash your recovery or/and your rom. But only, if yoi have installed an engineering SPL on your phone.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nandyn:
If this is in the wrong section, admins, please move it to the correct one.

My friend who works in development for T-Mo has warned me not to force GPS fix update using Samsung's Kies update as it will prevent you from being able to get Froyo update in 2011 (yes, Froyo is delayed until 2011...check my other post in # Galaxy S I9000 General Forum ...sorry it wont let me post a link since I am new here).

The JI5 version samsung put on kies is the version that had bricked some test phones over at T-Mo HQ.

Anyways, if you havent already done the update, please try to avoid it, since the GPS fix should be coming Thanksgiving (yes... another loooong 2 months). The official T-Mo announcement should be coming soon, but if you've read this and my other post, it'll be old news.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tjhart85:
Personally, I'm happier with the update on my phone than I would be waiting till Thanksgiving.

I haven't heard of anyone on here bricking their phone with this update if they installed from Kies [I installed on one phone through Kies and another through Odin....no problems at all .... YMMV].

Also, it'll prevent an update in at LEAST 3 months, seriously, what's that matter?

Enjoy a GPS enabled phone that's a LOT LESS laggy in the meantime and when the time comes, just Odin back to stock (or download the update from here on XDA instead of getting the OTA).
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I want to give thanks to Magnus Ragnarok for creating this awesome Rom and for all his awesome Roms. I must say as the title is confusing, this is not Magnus' Rom, this is the theme from his Rom ported to the Evo on Froyo and OTA 3.29.651.5

I do want to add that Magnus has since told me that he is in fact working on a new Froyo version of the finisher, but it's not ready yet, so if you choose you can use this as a sufficient replacement until he drops his Rom for all of us to use.

This is a port of the finisher Evolution Rom from 2.1 android to 2.2 Android on the Evo 3.29.651.5. everything works and Everything is ported, but the HTC themed Clock. Sorry, couldn't get it to port. The apk is below if you want to try and install it through a file manager.

also the apk for the red Swype is below to install with a file manager.

Edit: Been hearing that the Swype Keyboard is Warez now, so I removed it from below. Gonna try and modify a new keyboard to be red and black.

Here is the New Keyboard. Just download and install with a file manager: http://www.multiupload.com/H1D2A8F8ZK

Instructions:

1) Complete wipe is required.

2) install FinisherFroyo Signed zip

3) Download Decepticon boot animation and flash through recovery.

4) (Optional) download Live wallpapers and unzip and install through a file manager like Astro File Manager.

5) (Optional) Download App pack update zip and flash through recovery.

6) (Optional) Download Htc Clock apk and install through a file manager.

7) (Optional) Download Fonts zip and unzip, and flash the one you want through recovery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
Sorry dude, I just pulled it from the original finisher Rom. Couldn't port it, but wanted to make it available
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
You may want to remove swype there has been a bunch of fuss about it recently
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOsean:
This **** in FroYo!?! F*&K YES! This is my new ROM now
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I'm going to work on modifying the New Swype to be red and black.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
i believe swype is warez now bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
That's what I have heard, is it confirmed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I'm gonna attempt to modify another Keyboard to go with this theme to take Swype's place since it has come to my attention that it is "Warez". Any suggestions on the keyboard of choice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
yes it is confirmed. If you can hook up a flashable theme for swype that would be awesome. We could use our own swype then. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhpaintballer101:
are there any kernals i need to download for this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
No, just what is in the post, but you can probably use whatever kernel you want. This is based off the new Evo OTA so everything is stock except the theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhpaintballer101:
what magnus has is sufficient enough yea? liike battery n the goods?
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
what does that mean?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhpaintballer101:
like is the battery life good? and does it have the fps unlocked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
This is the new OTA, so fps is unlocked. this is the newest Evo update except with a theme ported to it. This is the 3.29.651.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:

[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
Yeah, I'm using his CM_B2 Supersonic AKA Blue Beast now. It's the Sh1t. I love it. Just wanted to port this, because people on his Finisher thread have been begging him.

Sweet, I've been thinking about shooting a PM to Magnus for some of his awesome work on something other than cm6 for the Evo...bc I strictly used his stuff when I was on CM6...but now we have 4g in Orlando...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
@ op

thanks for porting, but i am teaching someone to do this and they are working with me on the next OFFICIAL finisher. nothing significant here yet to upgrade and though i have found a few nice bases, i decided to hold off until, i can get cam working for desire hd(yes i do keep up with all my threads, but i will release when it is complete, this rom is old, and i have had many new ideas and learned many more things regarding android. i will go from there....when i have everything i need, i will up the next finisher....the end is HERE...i have learned alot since my first evo rom, and i will utilize everything in this rom. i will be switching back to sense just for this...you are welcome to help me if you like...there are a few pps working with me on it currently, and i am open to ideas, but this will not just be an improvement or a froyo upgrade, it will be a completely new beast.

thanks again op, but there are many improvements that need to be added to this rom as well, as far as the notification bar and my menubg. i dont generally go backwards so i never got to it, and when i learned how to fix it i was already supporting 3 new roms and 2 themes...sorry about the wait to anyone who has been loyal to finisher, but TRUST ME, the wait will be well worth it...and its not far off now, so just a little bit more patience. i never forget any of my projects i have worked on because i spend alot of time on any given one...ive just been waiting for the proper time and the right ingredients before stepping back in the sense kitchen to begin cooking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
Magnus, I only ported this out of respect for your work and Rom. I always try your new stuff and I did not know you were working on it. I would like to help u on this Rom, but I still have too much to learn. Porting is a lot easier than starting from scratch and coding. I wish I had someone to teach me, but as of now I'm just trying to pick up as much as I can. I'm sure your Rom will be awesome. I hope I didn't piss u off by porting this. Let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
i wish you wouldve pm'd to collaborate on the next finisher, but great job giving those in the old finisher thread what they requested, thats what xda is all about...i just wanted more than a software update. you did good and im glad you did cus it saved me time...well, i mean if i were going to use any part of the old finisher...im glad your learning and if you have any questions, id be glad to have you help with the new rom btw...good job and thank you for your work :D

what kind of douche would be upset with someone porting an open source rom and bringing it up to date for the original dev, that had no time do do it?

NOT ME........
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
Cool, because I love your work. Like I said I'm using you CM B2 Supersonic Rom right now. I just ported this for those asking. Ill probably use your Finisher when you post it. The Finisher was my first custom Rom. The reason I rooted. I will ask you stuff eventually. I'm just getting my feet wet in Development. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] allynsky:

Thanks for this rom... lovin dat keyboard...
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOsean:
Font

I was wondering what happened to the font from the screens in the original ROM before it was ported. Not a deal breaker tho, since Im running this ROM right now. Kickass man, thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
That's actually mine, the other stuff is ported, but I had to do the keyboard since the swype would not work. Glad u like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I had to port the Finisher evolutions Rom and the font was stock on the finisher remix. I did try to port the remix, but there was too much missing, so I chose to port this. i'm new to this, so I'm doing what i can. I did post all of Magnus' fonts on the first page, and i thought the font was droid Logo, but someone said that wasn't it. If you PM Magnus', he'll probably shoot you a flashable zip. sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spamking98:
Seens like the battery life is better on this rom than all the others ive tried...
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
Its just the Ota themed so the battery life probably is better
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOsean:
Dont be sorry man, you did better than most at giving alot of people a sick ROM to flash til Magnus updates it. Ill get with him to see if I can get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] larry12345:
can this rom run snap 7.6? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I don't think so, since snap is made for CM6, but I could be wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] larry54321:
I see that it be installed on other roms. i have it installed on superevo rom. it is so fast its crazy too. so that why i asked
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dragon-Lord:
This is Awesome

I have to say Thank You to Abu & Magnus. My installation went well. I have not install all of the options, but it is nice. I'm trying to create a Red Hulk Theme with it. I showed the Wallpaper I made, it's not a big deal, to my buddy and he got jealous.

Wish list - I would love to see a semi-transparent notification screen and clock, but still maintaining the red motif. :D

To: abu_noah

I juss recently changed from the finisher evolution remix, to the finisher evolution for Froyo. The problem I have which I noticed off the bat was that the bootscreen for the transformers theme was smaller than the actual screen and with the same as the Remix version, I didn't hear any audio when it started up. Any suggestions as to why this is? Thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
The reason this is is because i did not port the boot animation, i just gave the link to the boot animation. if you want the original then you'll have to pull the original boot out of System/resources

Try "samsung galaxy s unlocker". I dont know what your trying to unlock with. this ^ is a market app that requires no terminal commands

Produces the unlock code and saves it to sd
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoiryder:
Just call carrier and ask to provide you with the unlock code.. tell them that you travel out of the country and don't want to pay to much on international calls.. might take a couple days but at least you will always have the unlock code.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananamandave:
