Data works perfectly with the ATT modem you posted. And Battery seems pretty good, but My phone was pretty dead when i Flashed so I have it plugged in.

And you should know better than to ask about battery until we have time to recondition.

Chinese text on first bootup (R7 Test)

New R7 Install... first screen before setup wizard - shows a bunch of Chinese text?? It was only there for a few seconds, then it went to the keyboard setup screen and the wizard in English. Odd, I haven't seen it do this before but I haven't used the last several releases.
[Vibrant Android Development] tweezit:
Well you have to give him a little time to get used to posting roms without being able to test them himself first :D

Edit: honestly though I wasn't even expecting a release until he got his new phone :)
[Vibrant Android Development] shabgard:
Edited. found my answer.
[Vibrant Android Development] sader2202:
Anybody who flashed R7 please post screen shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
So I am confused.... Is the new ATT modem with the R7 build available today? If not, I am not 100% on backing up the EFS. Would this command work OK to backup?

busybox cp -a /efs /sdcard/
[Vibrant Android Development] msnuser111:
yeah,i noticed that too,I thought it was weird,but its a test rom so,oh well. the only other bug I noticed is that settings force closes if you try to do anything with the apn settings. try to add a new apn or edit the tmobile one,both make it FC.
[Vibrant Android Development] msnuser111:
as long as you have busybox installed,yes. that should work. I would check to see if it actually copied anything just to make sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
That should work, you could use root explorer and copy it to the internal sdcard and then mount and copy to your computer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
He could also use astro manager (its free and great for file management and even app backup) or root manager, copy the folder to the external sd and eliminate the computer need.

Just saying.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Okay, further testing... Just flashed the AT&T modem ontop of R7.... results are... okay.

First off, I have *very* bad 3G signal in my home which is where I'm testing.

So... during testing. It switched easily from 3G to EDGE and back. Of course this happens a LOT for me at home since the 3G signal is so bad. I also did the COMBI BANDS which eugene suggested.

Since the 3G at my home is so bad, however, the best 3G speed I could muster indoors was 300 down, 300 up. Outdoors it was 500kbps down, 400kbps up. Edge was as low as 17kbps.... That's not abnormal for where I'm at. I hope to see at least 1.5mb at work tomorrow - which is the highest I've ever seen here in Beaumont, TX...

of course... these pathetic speeds aren't this ROM's fault. They lie squarely with T-Mobile's horrible network in my area. 4G my ass, I don't even get 3G speed.

Anyway, as far as data DROPS, I didn't have any, so this modem appears to have solved that.

Other things I'm testing seem to work. Visual Voicemail works. Bluetooth audio works. Didn't test music player as I use Doggcatcher or Winamp, which both work. Obviously no news yet about battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Joshochoa187:
Hey eugene any luck w/ ebatr8
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
Did you flash the modem via clockworks?
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
OK, so is R7 stable for people? Nothing terrifying? I really feel like testing it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
After I flashed the AT&T modem thorugh Clockworks, I have No Data.. Do I'm suppose too add the EFS folder back in through adb? or can I use Root Manager?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Best Config

With all these different Macnut releases and seems like dozens of kernels out,, which one has worked the best as far as performance and battery life. I understand they contrast each other. But when my phone is on standby, i would appreciate saving the most battery life possible,,, but when i use it, I expect ZERO lag and great performance. Although all the macnut releases have for the most part been snappy and perform close to perfect.. Still trying to see whats the best configuration.

Currently on Macnut R6 Stock ROM,,

Excellent job Eugene.
[Vibrant Android Development] djeddieone:
kernel# 62

MacnutR6 has being the most stable for me running on 4G
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Thought the H* was simply an icon. We are limited to 7.2mb/s which technically isn't "4g" like the mytouch or g2.. even then.... 4G doesn't really exist, as its speeds should be at 100mb/s to be considered 4G. Adding the "4g" to the name is just a marketing strategy.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
adb shell

cd /efs

rm -r nv_data.bin.md5

rm -r nv_data.bin

exit

adb push ( Saved nv_data.bin ) /efs

adb shell

cd /efs

chmod 777 *

reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
I think as the term 4g to mean the 4th generation of mobile data speeds. Tmobile 4g connection is in line with other companies 4g connections.

Unless sprints 4g connection is 100mb/s then im completely wrong.

Anyways I keep seeing adb commands, which I hate having to use.

This can be done with a simple copy and paste right?
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
If it could be done with a simple copy and paste, I wouldn't have showed you the aadb commands. You can copy and paste the commands into the command prompt/terminal

You'lll have to type the right file name for the part about where you saved the files. /dir/to/my/file/nv_data.bin

Recovery Unusual Problem

Im in recovery mode but cannot seem to be able to navigate through using the volume keys.. has anyone experienced this problem?

Keys light up and when i press them the screen goes black

(i am trying to flash R7)
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
This.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
I didn't and haven't seen anyone else yet either.

have you tried rebooting and trying again? if so, you may have to odin stock and start over.
[Vibrant Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
EUGENE

just takin some time out to say...you are a beast!! a giant among men!! this froyo port and the sense port are by far the most ambitious roms on vibrant. Thank you so much for taming my nexus blues with your hard work and dedication to new updates and bug fixes!
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Yes sir,, I have seen this problem earlier today as i was trying to delete battery stats but ignore the problem. It did it twice more just now. I am going to reinstall clockwork see if that works out. if not then back to STock! :(

EDIT: I reinstalled ROM Manager and it worked. Flashing R7. About to test :) IM excited haha
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
Im in the command prompt, it found my devices and all that. But when i tried that command:

rm -r nv_data.bin.md5

It say No sech File or Directory..

Sorry, this is my first time using ADB.. lol kinda new at this.
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
R7 with ATT modem installed and running better thus far than R6 did for me this morning. My hope is email stays running.... I have not been able to run email with my exchange account for more than 24 hours before it starts to FC each time the app is opened.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
you did adb shell first?

and then cd /efs
[Vibrant Android Development] triStateMindgate:
wifi...

APN Setting force close I confirm

Chineese Text after flash I confirm

Data seems ok for now, runs very good for a test rom.

Everything else seems to work great, Music player , Power Amp. Cant comment on batt yet..
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
is this compatible over Team Whiskey's Core V1 kernel? =)
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
Not at all. Its not compatible with any 2.1 kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] roguly:
Flashing the kernels and roms

So now i have bionix fusion 1.1 core flashed and that was easy. but this thread has kernels and all other stuff i dont really know about. do i flash the kernel then the jpo froyo? can someone just give me a brief installation guide, just for the kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
thanks for your quick feedback =)
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
as long as you're not using corez4, just download either r6 or r7(still only a test rom) and flash. They have a kernel included. The other kernels are just more options.
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
just installed this rom.. i'm confused. the boot up process is already done, however i still see the "x" flashing suddenly then going back again to the lock screen. is this normal or should i wait for a couple more minutes?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Wait,, it might take up to 10 maybe 15 minutes!! Happened to me before. BUt once i was too impatient... so i pulled out the battery and rebooted and it worked! :) just try to stick it out
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
Yes I did

adb devices - found the device

adb shell - got the #

cd /efs - see:

cd /efs

# "then typed rm -r nv_data.bin.md5"

rm failed for nv_data.bin.md5, No such file or directory

EDIT: got it too work, the /efs folder doesnt have those files, but /efs/efs have it.

edit: by the way, do i have to install the modems after i flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
Hey one of those screen grabs u posted seemed like ur home screen were scrolling instead of shifting. What mod is this?
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
just finished flashing this rom.. do i have to install a modem after?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
I did not install any modem what so ever. Im runing R7 now. Any Luck? try rebooting it... if not reflashing it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Can I just flash this rom r7 0ver r6?
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
what R7? didn't see that in the OP. anyway, the flash was done. however, i get this random x signs and keeps going back to the lock screen. pulled the battery out and restarted many times and still getting this signs.. is there something wrong about what i did?

ps: where can you download r7?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
Eugene has NOT tested R7 since he has no phone.. but its dozens pages back...

did you clear cache?

Macnut R7 bugs

Sound player does not work

Music player does not work

Video player does not work
[Vibrant Android Development] qreffie:
Wow, the things I miss due to having to work a 12 hour shift. Eugene, you are indeed made out of win and awesome. I'd buy you a truckload of Pepsi if I could. I threw some more money at you today like I said I would a what seems like a million posts ago now and I can't wait till you're back up and running. I completely didn't expect to have anything to download or flash today, but your determination knows no bounds.

I just want you to know that we truly do appreciated all the hard work you do for us and like I said before, you've made owning this phone a blast. I'm so glad I didn't get the Sprint Epic.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
Hey i normally dont run into many issues that i cannot solve myself but...i realize that there iis an issue with the r7 test build with video player and music player force closing..i replaced them with the apks from the r6 build and still force closing. Any other solution? Or do i need to clear cache??

Btw @Eugene_373 did anything positive in way of the gps drivers come of the thread ealier?
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
These are the apk's that I used and are working. Just extract and push to /system/app

Hey guys I'm new to this vibrant stuff ( I have an HD2 running android) anyways I was running R1 and my data was flaky, so I updated to R6 and even R7 and I get no data at all what so ever. No EDGE or 3G or H, I'll even take G. All TMOUS settings are correct it's just DATA doesn't turn on. Can you help me troubleshoot the problem. I'm I supposed to flash something else? Thanx guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
Was that tongue in cheek? I hope so. learn to quote...8 posts?!? shoo fly shoo!!! you should mos def go join kk's board maybe youll be the 800th member lol!

sorry for jumping off topic... just finished watching a couple episodes of supernatural with the Mrs. and Dean makes me feel kinda witty lol! either way just stay off his topics if you think his mods are horrible.

ON TOPIC!!

Anybody know why or can help me find out why the list scrolling speeds ( example: launcher pro app drawer 3d and 2d) are so wonky! on every other rom ive flashed i can always scroll through all 250+ apps in 1 smooth flick and roll but now it takes me 2-4 flicks o_O... good thing is settings and contacts list scroll infinantly better than bionix and fusion builds... and DONT SAY TRY A DIFFERENT KERNEL OR LAGFIX I TRIED LIKE 10 COMBOS ON BIONIX/FUSION and 4 kernels here!!

Thank you for this. Cm music player will do until the issue is found. Video player still force closing. While upload a logcat later for it. Also (dont remember if this was an issue with the earlier builds) calls placed or received while using stock/any headphones w/ mic all sound and voice is still routed through the phone...possible bug with new build.

Edit: a few new settings are the main reason i like to use it, plus or some weird reason many of the touchwiz themed apps seem to tickle my fancy.

edit2: I think i may have found what the issue is and have a solution but i #epicfail at making update.zip files

EDIT: I seem to have stumbled upon another bug. browser and market will display a false no data connection popup everytime a new page is loaded. Only reboot or airplane mode toggle solves.

[Vibrant Android Development] darkness122:
Okay so I just installed R6..

Ran quadrant, got a score around 1300. on R2 i got around 1500, im sure this was because of the lagfix.

i know it says the lagfix is removed after resetting the phone, but isn't it reinstalled when we apply the R6.zip? im assuming no, which is why the Lagfix_restore.zip exists in the 2nd post... lol

anyways, how exactly do I install the lagfix now?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
ok so where u got the lagfix restore it looked like this:

hope that helps

:p
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
I was just playing around with launcher and launcher2 and there is quite a noticable difference in the app drawer scrolling speeds vs. the 2.1 builds, but mainly with launcherpro. Its gotten quite a bit choppy and i have about 1/8 the apps you have installed. It could quite possibly be tw launcher hogging up system resources in the background. Im gonna compare it to a few other launchers and dig around a bit and see if i can locate the culprite. Or, most probable, the fact that this build is ported and Eugene and friends have basically thrown the kernel through a meat grinder to get what the have been able to get working, it might not be using the gpu to the best of its abilities (as i do notice some stutters every now and again while playing graffic intensive games). Might be an issue you will have to live with until a leak or ota start showing up...sorry for such a long post.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
If you didn't factory wipe/reset your phone from CWM after flashing r6 then the lagfix is currently installed. Easy way to tell, quadrant scores without it are closer to 1060ish

Edit: i just ran quadrant and my score did reach above 1480 with the lagfix
[Vibrant Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
theres a lot of things to appologize for in life... making a detailed helping response in a forum is not one of them :) Thanks for checking im on the same mission! And i'll gladly live with it if i have to... soooo worth it for jit, flash 10.1, chrome 2 phone, and the new youtube app! LOVING THE ROM! however i love my app drawer too lol... gives my customers the WOW factor while im pitching the phone!! shows off phone speed, touch responsiveness and screen quality!
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
Thank you sir lol. Yeah froyo is definitely a vast improvement over 2.1 speedwise and our phone does have a beastly of a screen for plenty of movie and gaming goodness. Only thing samsung doesnt miss with on a regular basis is quality displays.

Anyways, back on topic. Did you by the off chance happen to restore launcher pro from a titanium backup? Main reason I ask is because I just uninstalled my hacked copy from my titanium restore and installed market version and the choppiness when cycling through all of my apps in both 3d and 2d drawers was virtually identical to the experience with it on stock ji6. This might in some crazy way might be the issue with it im thinking. And i also installed a bunch of random apps to get me somewhere in the ballpark of the amount you have installed and the choppy scrolling it barely noticable when set to keep launcher pro in system memory. If not the case the i will keep digging.

Random question. Do you use every single app you have installed and did you install many

Different ones b/t 2.1 and flashing this? Could have a faulty app hogging too many resources.
[Vibrant Android Development] web_ninja:
This ROm is fast..everything works flawless. Hitting 16+ on linpack. One Problem is exchange works until i reboot. then FC? finally had to uninstall it. Mobile AP works, camera froze once, (thats when i had to reboot)... I can live without GPS.. this is my daily driver... Bragging to my IPhone friends how fast it is!!!:D Now if i can just figure out the exchange mail problem.... any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] gatesmarch123:
Backed up efs, flashed att modem, working beautiful! Nice find Eugene!
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
Flashed last night to R7 and then ATT modem. ROM runs fast, data is still connected (never has made it this long), music player FC but can deal with that.

Exchange is working even after one reboot and will keep fingers crossed.

Glad you are back up and running!
[Vibrant Android Development] qreffie:
Glad you're back. I seriously don't know what we'd all do without you. And thank you for all the support & love you've shown us in your dedication to bring us these awesome roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] qreffie:
Oh, side note. One thing I have noticed from working my 12-hour days is that in airplane mode my phone does drain closer to 1% per hour, but with data on it's more like 10%. I think the battery issue has something to do with data staying fully awake when the phone is supposed to be sleeping - granted your R8 may have already fixed this.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Is that with or without ATT Modem?
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
With AT&T modem, I unpluged my phone FULLY charged around 5am. Now its 9am and I'm down to 75%......

And thats me going back too sleep from 5am to 9am...
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Hey eugene any luck with that guy who said there was a trial OTA for vibrant froyo?
[Vibrant Android Development] fflegend85:
I've Noticed that on R7, under call status tones, the call end tone has disappeared. I'm pretty sure that was in previous builds. Great rom though!
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
my exchange has been working flawlessly with multiple reboots.

Launcher pro works well for me with the 3d drawer, I changed the scrolling speed to 75 and it flies.

Phone has been unplugged for about an hour and its at 98% and I made a 5 minute phone call with the ATT modem. . . Not much to go on, but much better than 15% gone after same use with normal JI2 modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] 30Glock:
Is It possible that this will be R8
[Vibrant Android Development] gatesmarch123:
Oooooh you just opened a can of worms! Now everyone is going to ask! Lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] msnuser111:
That's actually a froyo bug,not specific to this rom. My nexus one did it on the stock rom. It will get stuck with the up arrow lit up and data doesn't work until you kill the data connection and reconnect.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
Although its curious that he's skipping a final release of r7, he's stated nothing that would lead me to believe he found a leak. I hope i'm wrong, but im probably not.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
So, I've gotten this thing going and Root.. Have R7 loaded & my Mms is Clear.. is anyone's else Mms working 100% as well..

Got the Music app and Video player & APN Fixed as well..

Other than Loading the ATT modem for the Data fix ( *#2263# CoMBI Band), this thing is solid..
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Played with this last night.

Very nice rom.

I wonder if the true 2.2 update will have a better linpack score / quad score.

Btw, Which lag fix is used here? Personally im using my G2. I just tested this. but it seems nice and clean. except for the GPS. But, nothing you can do about that.
