BTW, that link in Pedaman's last reply is the tutorial you asked for and I think it is also in Moon's singnature, (all that writting at the bottom of all his posts.) Odin is really easy although I haven't done it myself yet. I have everything ready though as I am going to flash V5 as soon as it is out of Beta. I am rooted, have installed Rom Manager, have made a Nandroid backup, have viewed every video I could find on how to use Rom Manager directly or to boot into download mode to flash. The Pitt and Tar files are already downloaded as well as Odin itself. I've viewed that Odin tutorial several times. I've even downloaded V5, but that problem with the earphones so far has stopped me. Don't panick, it will be all right. You just need to be properly prepared.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
I am not sure the next release will have the 3.5 jack fixed... Remember TW is working from leaked files... I wouldnt put it past TW to figure it out, just be prepared for the jack to still not work...

And yes, props to Moon...

Also note that while Odin can be finicky... Its rather safe...
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
My SD card is not allowing me to upload files to it, I also flashed the "new_mounting_fix" but it still did not solve the issue. I have to upload files to internal SD then copy to external so this will be fine until v5 (non beta) or v6 (?).

edit: Yes I did odin. Still no uploading to external_sd but all else is great, no mms issues and my modem is fine. Seems slow but ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I wouldn't be surprised to see such a question coming from the people people asking such silly questions. Thanks for the good laugh though.

As for me, I Odin'ed back to stock via the links in my "signature," and then flashed v5 beta. I personally have not had any problems with the usb mounting issue or with my external sd card not working. I also have not had any issues with the JK2 modem installing correctly from the get go. I'm not saying that it is working perfectly for everyone else, but I wonder how much is due to user error.

Again, if you are in a bind and need to get something figured out with your vibrant, please read from ALL the links in my signature. Virtually every question about your phone will be answered or solved via those links.:eek:

(notice how I said answered *or* solved, not *and*)
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Which kernel are you running? ULF kernel or stock jk2 kernel?

SD Fix

Neither of those files are labeled "new_mounting_fix"

the latest fix is in the thread I posted. Make sure you're using the updated one as that may be your issue.

I know, it's just that I don't want to go back to carrying around my iPod, I use the phone all the time now. I would have sold it already (iPod) if Kies were not so buggy or if DoubleTwist didn't make multiple pictures when syncing. I have no more faith that Samsung is going to release anything official before next year. I must ask, (mind you I know nothing of coding), but can't the drivers be taken from on of the 2.2 Roms where the 3.5 jack is working?... That's my hope.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just to be clear, the thread you posted is the most current mounting fix I have read. I also want to make it clear that Som posted that info before v5 beta was out and when he released v5 beta, he made it clear that this fix was included and that if you switch kernels, you would break the mounting fix as the fix is different for the stock kernel than it is for the i9k kernels.

Edit: I went back and found Soms post for releasing v5 beta to back up what I said above. Som's Post Note the second to last thing under "fixes:"
[Vibrant Android Development] KenpoAP:
Now I'm sad! I'm not gonna kill myself but really sad! Thanks guys! Hope the "nexus s" comes soon!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Well, on the bright side, you might actually have a working gps :D.
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
That is strange because I did download from xda a file called "new_mounting_fix", I have to find a link to it, I still have a copy of it. I am using stock jk2.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Let me try to clarify this a bit further. Som had put out a few "new mounting fix" files trying to resolve the issue. The problem was that it was unclear for a while that the fix did not work on both the stock and i9k kernels. Once this was figured out, two fixes were written and put into CWR flashable .zip files. It was also added to the new v5 beta rom with the stock kernel. Please download these fixes as needed from the link provided above called "SD fix".
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
whew!! Im not crazy :) I did the SD fix and it doesn't solve my external_sd issue I keep getting error but like I said I can copy to my internal and copy any files to the external sd so I am not stuck so I can deal till the next update. Thanks for all who helped.
[Vibrant Android Development] ogerisg321:
So when you did the SD fix your phone reads the external sd card? I didn't do the mount fix because I've read a lot about people saying it doesn't work, but if it does I might install it.
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
I just used odin to go back to stock and flash v5 . The flash player is great ,I'm even streaming movies on 3g just as well as on wifi.Must be the 10 second delay som mentioned,But i could be and probably am wrong, just the same this rom Is fast as hell i love it

Still flashing , thanks to odin
[Vibrant Android Development] werdz2:
Guys,

If you get the SIM CARD error, you need to flash the modem.bin... for some reason it was not installed in the beta.:o
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I love how you guys keep claiming v5 beta doesn't have the modem. It does have it, but it does not install for everyone. It instated fine for me.

Sent from....your mom. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] bosslabs:
Hi moonfire,

I just love this ROM, the only thing is my battery gets drained up pretty fast. Please tell me what to do to improve my battery life..thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] yelvington:
Fresh install, no service, did not recognize the SIM card. Re-flash seems to have fixed that. (Cross fingers while restoring 182 items via Titanium.)
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Titanium has yet to let me down. You do know to just reinstall apps+data, yes? Restoring system data can lead to problems. Perhaps you know this already, but thought I'd jump in and mention it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
is Final version V5 coming soon? Or is it still being worked on?
[Vibrant Android Development] 651stp:
yeah i'd like to know to. :) im patient enough to wait, but just getting a bit bored xD
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
Yes my phone reads all the files on my external sd, I can click a file on the external sd and it will open the appropriate app and play like music or gallery for photos, in all it seems to be working as it should. The only issue is when I mount my phone and I want to copy a file to the external sd that I run into the "error". I cannot copy files to the external but I can to the internal. That is all. Everything else is fine and quite snappy at that.
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
I love v5 a lot I just wish it could be as simple as moving the camera action to the search button with like root explorer or something or having a shared power button when the cameras on its a shutter when the camera is off its the power button again if only life were that simple or if only I were smarter

Anyhow I love v5 can't wait for final it should be great

Still flashing , thanks to odin

I'm still running 4.2 cause I know the second I flash v5 beta TW is gonna bust out the full version....

Sent from my Vibrant w/ Onyx 4.2 Overkill.....
[Vibrant Android Development] TaimeT:
you should flash v5 beta than because we're all anxiously waiting!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
I'm an idiot. I totally did not realize that restoring system data might conflict, or totally render the new ROM the old ROM. **** MY LIFE!
[Vibrant Android Development] holiday5804:
I was thinking the same thing when I read that.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
I am still on 3. Auto wipe kills all the fun.......

still dont get it. why dont have to wipe on nexus and wipe on vibrant every rom flash

Update: Gps issues

He, just an update: I was encountering these issues after doing an ODIN back to stock/flash v5....however, i flashed the j16 modem (available at team whiskey's page) and it seems to have helped the issue. Navigation/GPS will now function albeit a little slow, but once it connects it works! Thought this might help some of you guys. Thanks again to all!
[Vibrant Android Development] WP4WP4:
Same here! Back to V3 with A12. Quadrant scores 2150 :D
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Nah...you're not an idiot. Trust me, you're not the only one who's done it! :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] faldiin:
Oh I have done it a few times. Once bricked the phone since I had the Hardware Defect that would not allow you to get to download mode. This is where ODIN is your best friend. I am sure I will do it a few more times.

Faldiin
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
I love sombionix amd team whiskey and all their roms. They really make the vibrant reach its potential...

Its kind of ironic though that I would always update to the latest rom and an update would come out just days later....and the one time I wait cause I saw the beta and figured....hmm update will come out even faster....its the one time where update has been delayed...:p

Never underestimate murphys law.....

Not complaining....I'm fine waiting...obsidian was awesome from v1. :)

Jut wanted to say thanx and share an amusing story... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] PeterHook:
Vibrant noob here,

I searched the forums looking for this info but missed it somewhere.

I have Vibrant that is rooted, it has Clockwork 2.5.1.2 (latest) and RyanZA's lag fix (adb'ed, not through the app). Other than that it has an original rom.

Do I need to disable/revert anything before I flash v5? Or can I just download the v5 to sd card and flash it?

Do I wipe all data/factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache? or just some of them?

I also read that I need to put the v5 zip into the non 2gb sd card, am I understanding it correct?

Do I need to flash a different kernel or is the proper kernel included in v5? Radio update?

This is my wife's phone. If I screw it I might need to get a new wife.

Thanks.

Better Battery Life

Flash eugenes new stoock kernal and ur battery life will be dramatically extended....I txt all day on my phone, do a little browsing and run a few games.

From 6:30am till 10 30 something my battery was only just under 30%
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
No, you don't need to disable RyanZA's lagfix. Yes, you need to put the new rom on the internal sd card. The rom will clear the cache on it's own. The stock kernel is included and the most stable right now. Only change the kernel if you want to introduce dragons. They can be tamed, but not always. Make sure you understand Odin first and to do that, read from the links in my signature. I would even recommend using Odin to go back to JFD before you flash, just to make sure everything is cleared completely before you try v5.

At least you have your priorities straight with the phone and wife.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
Follow moonfires advice and to learn how to odin back for safety....it will be easier than getting new wife....i was having trouble recovering a g1 I flashed for my gf (not my fault) and while I was recovering there was a time limit before I had to find a new gf...so be careful...for some reason they aren't as patient as we are when we are messing with their phones... :p
[Vibrant Android Development] KenpoAP:
Yep! Still back there roms for now are not that good, for me! Everyone of them has issues and comes with little support. Here the team is always working in something new, fast!

I'm having Voice Mail issues

When I get a Voice Mail I don't get the VM notification on the top bar, or anything as a matter of fact.

I installed my sim card into another vibrant yesterday, it was running Axura's rom and it showed that I had like 6 new VM's.

I've gone stock and reflashed rom using Odin. Is this a rom issue or phone issue?

[Vibrant Android Development] jmatic:
I have the same issue with all the froyo roms I've tried. Also sms is laggy. Sometimes it takes a long time to send a txt. Sometimes it comes up as failed. Also get text from others long after they've sent it. I'm back at 2.1. No problems now!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Rom issue. I have had the same issue for some time, but don't know if it's gonna be fixed soon or not. I find it to be a real pain since I don't have a data plan and can't get visual voicemail to work.

But, you're saying it works on Axura's rom? If so, I may actually have to give that a try.
[Vibrant Android Development] lolcopter:
the lock code resets after flashing. just go to settings and re-enter the code and all is well

How's the battery life?

On that kernel and Macnut12 I was getting about 6-7 hours during very light usage( a few text, checked FB a couple times, a few calls about 4, for less than a minute), and about 4 hours during heavy usage...(on the internet, FB, text, twitter, podcast internet radio, heavy)

I had launcher pro plus, 3 screens calender and audio widgets only, no lag fix..

Is this the norm for 2.2 roms? Hows the battery life on Obsidian and that kernal.... I just flashed it stock... so lets see what kind of battery life i get on this rom.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
I am running it as well... I am seeing great battery life on top of things just being on the fly! A rather nice mix of Rom and Kernel...
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Hmm...yes, I did try that one. I don't recall at the moment what the specific problem was, but I ended up dumping it and going back to the stock TW 2.2 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] MiaS13:
I am using the b1120 kernel. Phone is weak on the battery right now but I did the Rom, kernel and lagfix and some real heavy usage today. Let's see how it fares tomorrow after a full drain and recharge

You guys are out to get me aren't you.:eek: I've been quiet and nice lately. At least I think I have. Can't ya give a guy a break. I'm only asking for a little ping, buzz, and icon to let me know I need to quit being a jerk and call people back. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Well, you might consider becoming a sociopath...then you wouldn't care if you called people back or not. Just a thought.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
See now thats a fine idea! And think about it this way... You would be doing TW a favor in not needing notifications... Giving something back to those who have given so much to you...

Win win, no?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Your call....I can give back by not wanting the VM notifications, or by answering stupid questions over and over so the team doesn't have to. Take your pick.

Being a sociopath would mean I wouldn't want to contribute anything to this team or any of it's followers.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Well when you put it that way =)

GOOOOOO VM notifications!

Exchange ActiveSync not working

I installed the beta but i can't connect to my exchange server anymore. doing a logcat all i get is the following.

I/ExchangeActivation( 3770): HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable
I/ExchangeActivation( 3770): Device activation response: 503

[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
Speaking of Google Voice, will V6 allow Google Voice to change the voicemail number the phone calls to the one Google uses? I've only seen a few Vibrant 2.2 ROMs actually allow Voice to fully change all the settings. Google Voice works perfectly for me on 4.2, but the number the phone tries to call if you press on the voicemail button in the dialer is still the T-Mobile one. Google Voice tries to change it to the Google number, but this isn't successful on most 2.2 Vibrant ROMs (including obsidian 4.2) for some reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] crazy_kat_matt:
is it just me, or has anyone lost the smiley button on swype after flashing 4.2?

it got replaced with a line break button. annoying >=0
[Vibrant Android Development] 651stp:
yea its gone, there should be versions out that has the smiley face though. look around :)
[Vibrant Android Development] crazy_kat_matt:
eh, i guess ill just have to get used to manually making smileys

having flash 10.1 makes up for it though.

now all i need to do is the front facing cam mod, then set
[Vibrant Android Development] ionic7:
I would avoid doing that till the bugs get worked out, unless someone has fixed where it makes your real cameras pics all liney and such, out of practicality you would most likely use your camera more than a FFC to begin with.

You are right...i didn't think of that...sorry...well for those who can use it...its the best option...
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
I've noticed that too on a few roms. I rarely call voicemail direct since I use the google voice app, but you can also add a contact called voicemail with your google voice number and add it as a favorite

Hey all, in case people are still having issues with exchange calendar, here is what I did to fix it...

1. Pull accountandsync.apk, accountandsyncsettings.apk and calendarprovider.apk from obsidian V2

2. Push all 3 files into system/app

3. reboot

4. open your email app and delete your exchange email account

5. create a new account and enter your email and password BUT select manual setup

6. select exchange account

7. proceed through the steps and your good!

I'm not sure if all of the steps are needed but this was the only fix I could come up with after trying anything and everything in V5 alone.

Good luck.

EDIT - I am attaching the V2 files in case anyone needs them.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
Two quick questions:

1) What's the difference with the Stock kernel vs the other?

2) If you flash the stockishandroid theme from TW's site, is it possible ot remove it / go back to the original Obsidian look without having to reflash the whole rom?
