Can someone please give me some pros and cons to the skyraider 3.3 and the cyanogenmod6 roms. Or post a link so I can compare em I'm looking for a good Rom/kernel combination!!

Any input on what kernel is best either kings or hydra would be much appreciated
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
I've never tried CyanogenMod 6, but I'm on Skyraider 3.3.1 sense now and I love it. I've been on Skyraider since I rooted my phone, I've tried alot of other ROMs but I always come back. Here's the link for SR 3.3.1 (be sure to fallow the directions to the letter).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764787

As far as the kernel, I like Kings BFS #5. The source code he uses is fresher than Hydra's, but they both run well. Here's the link for Kings BFS #5 (wipe dalvik cache under advanced in recovery).

Thanks a lot I have a skyraider Rom installed I think its 3.0 it doesn't seem as fast so I'm looking for something else plus when I changed kernels I got stuck in bootloop

I will try the combo you suggest

Check out the themes ihtfp69 has listed. I have the 5 column app drawer, espresso mod, right rosie button remapped to camera, and the white circular battery icon. He also has a lock screen pack in ROM Manager. And, as mentioned, there're the blue and red themes. Just experiment, and of course make sure you have a recent nandroid :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomgerman:
Hi,

I just updated my Vibrant to the newest version. Since then, it does boot the right way - there is just the loading symbol (not the vibrant screen), which disappears after a few seconds. BUT: When I plug in the USB, I can normally boot. As I started, the USB drivers of the phone seem to be damaged: It says to be connected, when I'm not, and is not able to connect normally when I plug in the USB cable. My Laptop sometimes identifies the device (I was successful in Mounting the phone drive once), but Kies does not work (I installed both Kies, and after Kies not working the driver package from XDA-dev).

I bought the phone over eBay, so I do not exactly know whether it is rooted. But I did not seem to be rooted, since there were no special applications and the user before even did not reset the phone (I thinks someone who roots would do that).

Now concerning the recovery:

I only got once into the Download&Recovery mode, but did not do anything there. After being stuck there, I pulled the battery to get out of that mode. Since then I cannot get there anymore, when I press the button combination the phone then starts the mode where I can reinstall packages etc.

Thus a flash via Odin seems to be not available (unless I try adb), so I thought the easiest way would be flashing a Nandroid image. Would that work without accessing the Download mode? I could reinstall packages and probably could root, but would not rely on getting the USB connection to work. Furthermore, I could put that image and the update.zip for an image loader on the sd-card. Is that enough to flash a Nandroid image?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Martin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthach11:
What nandroid image exactly are you trying to flash? Did you make a backup prior to updating? For root, check to see if there is a "superuser" app in your applications drawer. Also, can you refine the questions you are asking exactly? It seems like you have multiple issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomgerman:
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

Sorry that I wrote the post a little bit to complicated :)

I would like to flash this image (unrooted): ht*p://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7329357&postcount=2

I would use Clockwork Recovery. And then try the update again.

And I didn't do an backup before :( I just got the phone and didn't know that an official update could also brick it.

And my question is: Could I flash the image in the following scenario?

- I cannot boot normally (without power supply)

- I'm already on JI6 (the actual version) and can boot the phone having it connected to USB (because it "preboots" to the loading screen, and from there I am able to boot)

- the USB does not seem to work in the right way (thus cannot rely on using adb to enter the download mode)

- I cannot enter the download mode (just the one to reinstall packages)

Or is the chance to high that I completely brick it?

Thanks for helping me!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthach11:
If you can enter stock recovery, then you should be able to enter download mode.

-Try holding the volume keys and then plugging in the usb cord.

-Try plugging in the phone, wait for the battery icon to show charging, then hold the volume keys and push the power button, let go of the POWER BUTTON IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK. MAKE SURE YOUR STILL HOLDING VOLUME KEYS

-Try those steps a few times...

So, your telling us that you cannot boot up the phone without usb power? What happens if you try removing the usb while it's booting up?

Did you have adb setup correctly before with all the right drivers?

...To answer your original question: try getting into download mode before you attempting any nandroid. If you successfully get into download mode, whether it be through adb or physically, Odin can be your backup if a nandroid fails. Try a nandroid after following these steps only. Make sure you can get into download mode!

* I'm not responsible for bricking you device. Just doubly make sure you can get into download mode just in case of a soft-brick.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomgerman:
Ok, I flashed back to stock using Odin, but Settings->About phone still says Firmware version 2.1-update1 and the bugs still exist. Is it possible to get completely back to the state before the update?

Thanks so far!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slow50:
The OTA caused a lot of problems for me too, I was rooted only. My bone stock Vibrant also got the ota, and it went smooth.

I had backed mine up completely, and flashed it back.

However both ended up vary laggy afterwards.

I just ended up flashing a custom rom. Fusion 1.1 on both. Very Happy now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomgerman:
Does flashing a custom ROM also change the "firmware version" of the phone? Maybe I could get back to 2.1 from my actual 2.1-update1 that way.
[Droid Incredible General] theguy386:
My phone really only consists of 3 screens and I only use one icon for everything, which I have on my main home screen. Is there any way to place that icon in the center?

Since our phones only have space for four icons across, its kinda hard to place that in the center. I'm using launcherProPlus
[Droid Incredible General] MMBosstones86:
Pretty sure you can change the amount of columns and rows using launcher pro. You can also resize icons using lpp as well
[Droid Incredible General] theguy386:
Tried to use launcherpro, but no such luck
[Droid Incredible General] MotoDj:
launcherpro 5x5

install with long press NOT add button (lets you choose icon)

should work

if not, do a 5x5, use a clear icon and either just "know' its there, or choose wallpaper that has an "icon like" look in the middle - trial and error to line up "invisible" icon to wallpaper

hint - use non scrolling wallpaper option

hope that helps

ps - i'm pretty new to this so there may be a better way - but this way does work

Well- before you do to much work I would suggest you go to settings/about phone/ and then get the update for your phone. We are on 2.2 now.

Some people actually liked 2.1 better. But hey- I am all for the new stuff.

Anyway, where can I find stock FRF91 recovery.img?

Also, there is no install-recovery.sh in system/etc/ and I didn't delete it, where can I get it too?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st4rk:
Hi,

I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.

Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.

I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.

I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.

Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.

If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.

Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.

P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.

Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

see my post 8601578 (cant publish link here)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st4rk:
Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?

I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.

I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st4rk:
Just found this on an internet search...

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.

I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?

I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janepen:
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.

I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
is your kernel overclocked because ADW keeps reloading on me on my vogue, i tried everything i could to get it to work too, (eg using the sysinit from the original port, along with the original launcher.apk from that build, also having it zip align on first boot the problem persists
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I haven't had that issue yet, my Kaiser kernel is overclocked to 500MHz. Admittedly i do set ADW to a single screen and only have a few widgets loaded so it's not too memory hungry. Do you mean restarting as in being closed to save memory or it's crashing? There are a couple of options you can try to keep it in memory, one in ADW's settings (System Preferences/System Persistent) or in Cyanogenmod Settings there is an option to lock the homescreen in memory somewhere.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
basically the screen loads, then it blanks out and reloads the home screen again, i cant even get into the settings to change the amount of screens or the system persistent, i feel your over clock might have something to do with it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Ok, i'll look into it, worked fine first time on my kaiser but i did modify the androidinstall.tar before installing. It could also be a widget that loads by default which is the issue so i'll try removing them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] neopeek:
@thoughtlesskyle: that's due to the external-skia!! libskia.so is crashing (same for me when compiling from cm-source). I had to take out BLIT optimizations from skia to get it half working (browser still crashes). Though I am talking for my port on HTC Diamond & Co.!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I know there are issues with skia, but what is different between the vogue and kaiser hardware which means it doesn't crash on the Kaiser. I did make some modifications to skia so it would compile for our processors.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] neopeek:
I don't even have a clue! It must be something kernel-related cause I tried so many things on my HTC Diamond and couldn't bug that out...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Strange stuff!! I'll have a look into it, maybe try and replicate the issue on my device. Out of interest, which kernel are you running thoughtlesskyle???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
im still running the old 2.6.25 kernel from 26-07-2010

also this isnt my daily phone so it isn't a big issue, and also i have my own build i just like checking out what everyone else is doing too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
That's good, i appreciate your help :) I would say that the kernel is probably the problem, cyanogenmod kernels for many phones are now up to 2.6.35. I am using a recently compiled 2.6.32 kernel and things seem ok. Keep up the good work with you build, i like it a lot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] alexinc:
much appreciated! :) thx

could you plz link the needed ril for .25-kernel to complete your thread, as on polaris cam isnt working with .32-kernel and most of us are kind of forced to use older kernel, when using cam now and then. ;)

thx again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I'm going to test the build with a 2.6.25 kernel tomorrow as i think there may be compatability issues with older kernels and the CyanogenMod builds which will make it unusable on anything other then the latest 2,6,32 kernel. However, if these can be resolved i will post an update with the necessary files to run an older kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
RLS 1

I have tidied a few things up with the build and uploaded a new release.

I have tested with an old 2.6.25 kernel and it isn't pretty, so it's 2.6.32 or nothing with this one at the minute i'm afraid.

Hi Sooter1556

Can you post some sprints?

It's safe overclock to 500mhz?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I've got my Kaiser overclocked to 500Mhz, have had for while without issue, but obviously it's at your own risk. Should be fine though.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Glad you like it, i'm still tweaking stuff. I've disabled JIT by default and got compcache to work when altered in cyanogenmod settings. Disabling JIT and restarting the phone improved performance a lot. I've also changed some low memory parameters and i have had no home screen reloads and it's pretty snappy. I've also fixed the music app for the next release.Still working on bits and pieces so i'll upload a new release soon with the fixes/updates.

HTC keyboard is available as an optional update since it is a large file it makes no sense to include two different keyboards. As for the other two I saw they were included when I was releasing my build, sounds like it may have gotten corrupted?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:

Thanks for the feedback, did you have to restart the phone after adding your google account?

So the kernel, what messages are you getting in the kernel before it stops?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
I'll try to reinstall everything from 0 cause i'm starting to get freeze after freeze.... no data corruption however... i oced to 520... maybe is too much for my old-timer :D

Edit: after a long period of tries... I realized that if i oc the kernel with atools, I made the instalation so unstable that wouldn't even unlock the screen without a freeze... so i decided to reinstall everything with an unoced kernel and then use rogue tools to oc, and for now... everything is fine (Google account, apps, configs, etc). I guess those freezings were because of my low-end sd (class 2) cause when I installed sys and data over nand and removed the SD card prior booting, everything worked fine... i really need some $ for at least an class 6 sd... :D

BTW Scoot: AWSOME BUILD! hope this little "tweaks" u made to rls4c work!
