Hey Ram, yeah, I'm going to give that kernel a shot. My battery's ok...nothing spectacular but it took me 4 hours to drain this sucker 100-0 as I was conditioning my battery again last night. Let you know how it goes
[Vibrant Android Development] DanglaGT:
Since I have flashed this ROM everything works fine except I lose all signal after a couple of hours of use. My email, internet, texting, calling, etc. just goes out.. there is a 3G signal in the notification bar but it doesn't light up green and orange like it usually does when it goes out. Rebooting my phone seems to fix the issue and I receive all the texts and notifications that should have been received in that time period.

This never happened to me before using this ROM, any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] socal_brandon:
Anyone know of a way to remove the Avatar app?

I tried using the "force remove" option under Titanium backup and it softbricked. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] endo689:
reboot softbricks

Hey everyone so I've had to reflash the stock rom and back to this one everytime I've rebooted my Vibrant for some reason it keeps bricking right here. Wanted to know why this keeps happening. Upon starting up the phone stops at the Vibrant/Samsung boot screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] HYE_TECH:
Thanks man, worked. Was a little worried because of the error because i forgot than you mentioned it but now I can remove that circular battery indicator. Awesome
[Vibrant Android Development] aninjaturtle:
I don't know why people are having so many problems. This is by far the most stable os I've used. The battery life is terrific. Its super fast. Idk whats up.

HD Video Recorder

Excellent ROM, using the accurate circular battery mod on 1.1 and this ROM is now awesome with the battery kernel from RAM130. Don't know if I need to upgrade to 1.2....:D

I just wanted to know if anybody notice that the sound recorded in video sounds low? Is it just me, is there a fix for this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Botchka:
Corrupted zip..

Has anyone been able to download and install this today? I've tried it 10 times on 2 different computers (Win 7 and OS X) and every time, the zip file is corrupted. It ends in recovery mode with "bad" when it tries to install.

PS: It'd be nice to get MD5 checksum with each of these releases. Does anyone have the MD5 and an alternative download location to fileserve.com?

Edited to add: Disregard. I had to run sd_fix.zip to fix the issues with transferring to my internal sd_card. Hope this helps anyone else.
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
How did you drain it so fast?
[Vibrant Android Development] HYE_TECH:
LOL...i was just estimating...4-5 hours I think....I turned everythning on, brightness on max, i got tired so I played youtube video (Gilligan's island rescued episode) and left it on...woke up notice the phone was dead then just charged it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ronnyek:
hmm... where oh where did my use ring volume for notifications... checkbox go. I am very sad that this is the *ONLY* feature I am missing from this rom, and unfortunately it may be a deal breaker for me.

Any one got any ideas of how I could hack it to make it work/
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
I use an app called Quick Settings which has a toggle for this.
[Vibrant Android Development] HYE_TECH:
I'm using the kernel right now but i went from 100% to 80% in 1h 14min....what gives? The only thing I have on is my WiFi.
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Ummmmmmmmmm in 2.2, all the sound volume is condensed into 1 menu option (ringer, notification, system, and something else i forgot)
[Vibrant Android Development] ronnyek:
yes, my point there was a checkbox on some versions of froyo that let you for all intent and purposes locked notification volume and ringtone volume together... this build unfortunately doesnt have that for whatever reason
[Vibrant Android Development] ronnyek:
I have this installed... however when I go into sounds and change volume, notification volume isnt consistent
[Vibrant Android Development] krazykidd:
Could you remove it, but include an APK on the downloading screen to install the keyboard?
[Vibrant Android Development] brew1brew:
Am I the only one that the external SD card shows up as 2.2gig instead of 16 gig when connected to the computer?
[Vibrant Android Development] roguly:
your external sd card is the one that has avatar (or is supposed to) on it. this card is supposed to be 2gb. your INTERNAL sd card is the one that carries most info on it and the one that is 16gb. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] roguly:
i ran into this problem too
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
Use ADB to reboot the phone.

adb reboot

or you can use odin to restore to stock

once your back into AOSP install busybox BEFORE trying to go into cwm again!
[Vibrant Android Development] androidcee123:
Don't know if you the answer yet, but if not, here's what I did:

I installed Root Explorer from the market.

Then I used it to remove the avatar apk.

That is what worked for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] roguly:
little bit of a noobie question here but whatever. should i unroot, then "re-root" to install busybox? i usually use ryan's app on the market (u know its the easiest :D)

but i can use an alternative method. just trying to figure out how to install busybox, because it usually is included in root. but i guess this ROM somehow deletes it? weird...

thx brah :D
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
I really wanted to like this rom, I really did, and I am sure the complaints I have could have been solved if I read more of the 91 pages of thread, but here it goes..

My orientation doesn't seem to work right no matter what I do, and everything on the phone is incredibly laggy.. I never re-enabled voodoo because I wasn't sure if that would be a problem(the original post seemed like it said don't use it at all).. anyways, something as simple as the phone switching orientation would take at least several seconds, if it worked at all.

I didn't install busybox before flashing this rom, so when I went to restore the phone it just got stuck at the vibrant screen.. and I didn't see the possible fix for the phone app force closing till I already started restoring my last rom.

I really wanted to find a rom that would give me good battery life without me having to disable data with juicedefender, but this rom sucked down a helluva lot of battery in a few hours of very light use(not that I can give specifics since I couldn't find a way to display battery % in this rom)..

also, whose bright idea was it to make titanium backup non-paid version a system file? I couldn't install the premium version no matter how much I tried, and had to sit there manually installing 100 apps one by one..

In any case, there was a bunch of other issues that I feel no need to go over since those I just listed were already enough of a deal breaker. I was skeptical about the feedback I was reading might be too good to be true, and it didn't help how little information was provided in the original post, or that the rom creator's posts in this thread didn't evoke much confidence..

At least I didn't brick my phone(I hope, I am waiting for the phone to start right now after doing a recovery from backup) trying to put my first 2.2 rom on it, I will go back to fusion or bionix and be glad for a fully functioning phone until something better comes out.

This is my first rom I have installed that really disappointed me, maybe once the quirks are worked out I will try it again.. Oh, and the original post should be updated with the fixes I see strewn throughout this thread! Maybe I wouldn't have given up if these things were easy to fix instead of me feeling like I had to research how to make a rom usable..

I am sad that my first post on these forums will be negative, but it makes me want to post or message the creators of the other roms I have used to thank them for giving me such good experiences.
[Vibrant Android Development] skroegerj:
This rom worked great for me. It actually sped up me phone, got rid of the lag and improved battery life as well! I wonder why it's different for you.

I have one request for Mr Anderdroid though...plz plz plz restore the stock video player to the ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
Sounds like maybe you should have started with a full wipe. I've been on this rom for almost a week.

WiFi calling has some issues with ring volume. And their are a few other minor issues such as Visual Voice Mail not loading properly.

Yesterday i got over 12hrs with light use to %50 battery charge.

Today i got 8 hours with very little use to %95 battery charge.

The base rom is faster than my 2.1 stock, and after installing OCLF its just silly fast.

I've also got nor had any orientation issues.

You can un-install the Titanium with adb, and have your pro version going in no time.
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
just search busybox on the market
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Oy vey.. Tried to get back to my nandroid of bionix fusion, and it is stuck at the vibrant screen no matter what I do(adb reboot recovery and hardware recovery doesn't do anything).. If I ever can get it back into recovery mode, what is the problem? Does this rom include a 2.2 kernel that isn't compatible? I would even reinstall this rom again and try to make it work, never had my phone get stuck here without being able to fix it.. all I can think of is that it had something to do with it being a 2.2 rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Ry-Guy615:
This rom includes a 2.2 kernel. Can't nandroid back to a 2.1 rom. You first need to flash a 2.1 rom that also flashes a 2.1 kernel then restore via nandroid.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Well I'm stupid. I flash one of eugene kernel (#62) in HOPES of getting 341mb because the swap issues had been causing some serious bluetooth cut outs and slows downs. Well that was a mistake. It erased my internal sd, reset the rom and gave me 3 boot screen over lapping..:(:( .. Good thing I did a titanium back up and had a week old back up of my internal :o..My issue is, how do I flash the SD fix if I can't copy anything to the internal?

EDIT: figure it out...copy to external then internal

I don't suggest a recondition :D ..

Wow..freeze wifi calling, drm and media hub .. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] PhilUSAF21:
Hey im trying to do the sd fix, and I put it in the phone but when I select the fix it says error install aborted. How do I fix? Also I have busybox installed too.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
copy the sd fix to the internal memory card...flash in clock work recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
I hate having 304mb of ram :( ...100mb free on boot of a fresh untouched install..install couple apps, 5 run in background and now 50mb left..constant pinging of the swap which causes slow downs, cut outs and bluetooth cut outs :( why can't we access the full ram? the nexus one, my touch 3g slide always had 200mb or more free...so what changed with the Vibrant? ..oh well.

I'm just dreaming..
[Vibrant Android Development] unikhmer:
Flashed over JI6 and everything went smoothly. Was setting everything up and didn't run into any problems....but tried to reboot into clockwork recovery forgetting to install busybox; now I'm stuck hanging at the vibrant screen! help!
[Vibrant Android Development] djkozdefantastico:
just flashed. waiting for reboot=]
[Vibrant Android Development] Fluesopp:
If you have some programs you'd like to keep data on, backup with Titanium Backup and flash back with Odin. Install buzybox and flash AOSPish.

If you can't get away from the vibrant screen, plug the phone into a computer with ADB, and write adb restart in cmd.

(if the path is not set, adb is in program files (x86 if you have 64 bit), java, android, tools)

If you don't get any response, pull and insert the battery, plug the phone in the computer, and boot it. It should be recognized.
[Vibrant Android Development] djkozdefantastico:
looks real good. didnt change my benchmark scores like i woulda hoped
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Does the fix sd card issues zip work with v1.0 as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] unikhmer:
Soft bricked my vibrant. Reverted it back to stock after numerous failed attempts! So I have to start all over...will let you know how it goes. I thought I actually bricked it because it wouldn't turn on at all!
[Vibrant Android Development] brew1brew:
Yes, the SD that came with it was 2 gig. however I replace it with a16 gig class 6 card. It has most of my music on it. The phone sees it as 16 gig, but when I plug it into the computer it sees 2.2 gig
[Vibrant Android Development] ohnoezmahfone:
Wireless AP does not restore wifi state after use (might not be anything you can do about this, I realize), and something keeps turning off my automatic brightness control.

Also, it seems like the automatic brightness control gets brighter in dark rooms and dimmer in sunlight? This is the opposite of how it should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
I deleted /system/app/Avatar.apk using Root Explorer.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashless:
:confused: So it should get bright in brightly lit areas? and dark in dark areas?
[Vibrant Android Development] nermie:
Yes

[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
you need to do a adb reboot not recovery. then update busybox
[Vibrant Android Development] endo689:
Yeah that way works or you can try this, I had the exact same problem and was shown this tutorial to fix a soft brick, it worked perfectly. Very simple fix. :D

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6998-howto-recover-from-a-soft-brick-on-your-vibrant/

On a side note noticed a small bug...

Has anyone with wifi calling enabled had the network connection error screen pop up while browsing the web? It doesn't stop the browser from working it just constantly keeps popping up every time you view different webpages.
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
While following that tutorial will work there is no need to flash back to stock when you've only forgot to install busy box. ADB reboot is much faster and you don't have to redo anything.

I've been using wifi calling for almost a week now. Haven't seen any errors while browsing. I do have 10.1 and the little update it did yesterday. Otherwise stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] mtwalsh922:
I flashed this over Obsidian v3 today with no problems other than Pandora was missing after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup. For some reason I could not reinstall it from the Market. Just sat there downloading forever until I cancelled it. Not a Market problem, other downloads/updates were fine.

I ended up just downloading/installing the Pandora .apk directly instead, and it works fine. Other than the issue with this one app, everything else seems great. Will try Wifi Calling when I get home.

Loving the clean AOSP-ish experience so far!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
I'm a noob, so how do i Flash this? Do i just put it on my SD card and use ROM Manager from there? And if i have a backup of everything with Titanium Pro will that be wiped or will it reupload when flashed? thaanks!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] djkozdefantastico:
is there any good mods for this that i can use? like clear or black drop down and notification? or a circle accurate battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] 2012iawait:
how do i install busybox? it wont let me install in recovery for some reason it says bad file.
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Use Titanium Backup. Cick the bubble at the bottom that says "problems?"
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
You want to copy it to your internal memory and flash from there.

This should not wipe your storage, just your system so if you have a Titanium Backup it will all be there after you flash. Just do a batch restore.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Ok, so internal memory should be a folder I'm assuming in my phone's directory? I'll follow this and post back, thanks!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Internal Memory is the 14GB drive that appears in your my computer menu when you mount the phone. The other 2GB drive which contains Avatar is your External SD Card.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Ok so I just copied the .zip into my internal memory going to flash when my backup finishes! wish me luck!

Also, since I'm hooked up with Gmail it's supposed to back up all my contacts, yet, when I check on this only my email contacts are backed up, not my phone number ones. Any suggestions as to why this occurs?
[Vibrant Android Development] JeremyNT:
Make sure that you save all contacts as gmail contacts, and not as phone only.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Ok it says installation aborted. and above that it says:

E: can't open /cache/update.zip

(bad)

What do i do?

I also copied the.zip file to my internal memory, can I not flash using a .zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
why is it in your cache folder? Just drop it to the root of your internal storage and install using ROM manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
It says it is but it's not. I checked and as soon as I open my memory storage from my computers control panel a bunch of folders show up and the update.zip is in there, NOT in any cache folder or other folder... maybe my update.zip is not compatible or corrupted? Link to newer download?
[Vibrant Android Development] Stridermatu:
Of all of your complaints, you mentioned some blunders in that post too. Don't blame the ROM or the developer if you make mistakes flashing or don't know what you're doing.
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Wait... Why are you running update.zip? The file you want to install is called Vibrant_AOSPish_JK2_v1.1.zip

Download this file. Drop it into your internal storage. Use ROM Manager to "Install ROM from SD Card"

Choose the Vibrant_AOSPish_JK2_v1.1.zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
I am doing this, exactly. But when I reboot I get this screen:

my only reboot options are:

-reboot system now

-reinstall packages

-delete all user data

-delete cache data

Not need checksum confirmation

--Movi_check already executed !!....

-- Movi_checking done!...

--Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E: Cna't open /cache/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

And I checked and rechecked and the downloaded files from here are NOT in any folders...

** Also I don't even know why I need the update.zip file? I remember downloading it while rooting but that's about it. Should I try to re-root my phone and unlagfix it (OCLF) before trying to flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
when is 1.2 coming out? op
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
LMAO. What a clown! There is no such thing as the "Premium Version" of TB. There is a license file that unlocks all the features of the "Free Version". Works great for me since I donated and have the license file sitting on my SD where it belongs. I love that Anderdroid has thought to include it as its an indispensable tool when ROM jumping.

That said, I never took the time to tell the chef what I great ROM this is, and how much I appreciate the effort put into it. I am still running this ROM despite the recent advances by Eugene and Team Whiskey in light of the fact this is BAR NONE the SMOOOOTHEST I have ever had my phone. I have no lagfix installed and its just BUTTER. I have been anxiously awaiting your next release as I'm sure it will be screamin!

People PLEASE make sure you understand what you are dealing with before passing judgment.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidcee123:
Try this:

Put the file in the INTERNAL SD card folder then reboot into CWM recovery. Then you will be able to specify that specific zip file. For some reason CWM recovery doesn't read from the external sd card, from what I read.

Trust me, it works, it's what I did to flash the the ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Are you sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery Installed?

Do this:

Open Titanium Backup. Click the box marked "problems?" and make sure you have the newest busybox installed.

Next, in ROM Manager, click "install ClockworkMod Recovery"

Install ROM from SD Card

If you reach the standard recovery menu (the one with the four options you listed), select "reinstall packages"

That should put you into clockworkmod recovery (the green menu) and everything should install itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stridermatu:
This is what I did,

Download the ROM you want as well as the SD Card Fix

Connect your phone to PC and mount SD

put the ROM and the SD Card Fix in the root of your INTERNAL memory (meaning, don't put them in a folder, Don't put them in ANY FOLDER AT ALL)

eject the SD card and download ROM Manager (RM) and Titanium Backup (TB) from the market if you haven't already. You are rooted, of course?

Run TB, press the "problems" button and after that's done, back up all of your apps that you want after you flash.

Run RM and back up your current ROM in case you need to recovery from a bad flash or if you don't like the ROM you're about to flash.

In RM, download Clockwork Recovery.

In RM run "Install ROM from SD card"

Select ROM from the menu that pops up

The phone should reboot and go into Clockwork Recovery.

Use the up and down volume buttons to "Select install ROM from SD"

Select the Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 file

Press power to flash

After my phone finished, I was back in Recovery and flashed the SD Card Fix.

Reboot.

Sync phone to your Gmail account again, and then run TB again and select "Backup/Restore"

press menu and select "Batch"

Scroll down and select "Restore all apps with Data"

Depending on how many apps you have, this process could take a few minutes or three hours.

Plug your phone into your PC and see if it recognizes the full capacity of your storage.

Try to open all of your folders. If you get an error that says "parameter is not correct" then your Sd card is still won't play nice with your PC but will work in your phone. The only solution I've come up with is to put data on the SD card through a SD card reader.

You're done. Customize and enjoy the ROM. Minus the TB restore, the flashing process took me about 25 minutes.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
When i boot into cwm recov. i still get the error:

Can't open /cache/update.zip

and my update.zip is not in any cache folder? Should i place the update.zip in my Android folder?

I also only have the reboot option, reinstall packages option, delete user data option and delete cache option, NO OTHER options....

I know it's my update.zip folder's placement but i don't where to put it?
[Vibrant Android Development] oldarney:
This was working miracles until... I tryed to install that sd card fix using CWM. Apperently I needed to update the hooks and after it restarted my phone... the vibrant logo got frozen.

Im going to see if I can find the JK2 kernel to flash it with odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
The only thing I would add is to wait about 10 minutes after the phone reboots with your new ROM before you do anything. There is A LOT still going on with the install after you reach the GUI.
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
At the "choose a zip to apply" screen and I don't see Vibrant AOSP... I do see update .zip and SD/ but no Vibrant AOSP in SD/. Help
[Vibrant Android Development] sl0play:
Where did you put the ROM file? It should be in the root with update.zip

Have you verified with a file explorer?
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
I'm installing via Rom manager
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
Do I apply the update.zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] oldarney:
tHAT HAPPENS TO ME TOO. There seems to be some issue with something that makes the real external SD card not show up. The solution is to store the files on the virtual Sdcard which should be at /sd card/
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
i still get the cache/update.zip error

and when i reinstall packages it just reboots and reinstalls, no green menu.
