Y'know, I've had a weird issue running Windows 7 64-bit (which I think you said you were running)...At some point, something happened which borked a bunch of my drivers, but only sort of.

My network connects, and I can browse the internet, but in the properties it tells me that I'm not connected to any networks...My sound was screwed up too, and so is my ability to connect to my Vibrant.

I've uninstalled the Samsung drivers, rebooted, reinstalled many times, to no avail...after hours of scouring the internet, I've discovered that many people have had the same issue (the network piece being the most prominent), but no resolution, other than wiping Windows and starting over...BLARG.

I pretty much do all my flashing at work now because of this, since my workstation is still XP...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
In rom manager, you need to flash correct version of clockworks recovery and then when you reboot into recovery, select reinstall packages. Then install .zip from sd card.
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
Help

I install the lagfix (voodoo) using the instructions that are in the post. Now it stays frozen in TeamWhiskey logo. I try to enter in download mode but the device dont let me in. Please give me some tips.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
You flashed the recovery image using ROM manager..

Turn off phone, Reboot into recovery... Select reinstall packages... It will run and reboot you into recovery... Where you THEN have the install zip from SD card option...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I have not had that sort of an issue. I also just installed the samsung drivers on my laptop today for the very purpose of testing this. I doubt I am having issues due to drivers. If anything, it could be an issue of windows 7 in general, but weird part is how my external sd card folder still shows empty after I unmount but after I reboot the phone, the folder contains the files again, such as avatar.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Bump. I know things tend to get lost in here.
[Vibrant Android Development] diazf09:
Yeah this battery is terrible... What compatible kernel can I flash for best battery results... This is by far the best rom.. But its like having a ferrari thats only gets 2 mpg.. U can only take it for a spin.. Then leave in garage for ur friends to drool over.

Read up a few pages and find the 15 step list of things to do to fix your issue. Read before you post. Chances are that the answers are already there.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I got this rom with the stock kernel and battery is doing great.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
Yeah, I tried it this morning. Ulf sites drain battery more than stock, so I went back to stock from jfd adv. The external fix will cause the external to show up as internal after you try to mount it. The fix seems to be ulf specific.
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
Can you give me the exact pages because I didnt find the 15 steps. Is in this thread or where. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Thank you for confirming my theory. I hope Krylon is reading this. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
I have the same issue. Every time I go into recovery I get the stock version and have to to the update. Sometimes this works and sometimes I have to re-install Clockworkmod recovery. Any thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Post 4024. Can I get you a some fries with that. **lazy** I found it the same way you could have. I clicked my name and selected to see all posts from moonfire711. I scrolled through until I found it.

Disable Voodoo?

Anyone have a link to the disable voodoo zip? I was looking on the TW site and on the front page where i swear i saw it before, but either i am just clumsily overlooking it or it has been removed. i also searched the threads for a bit with no such luck lol. Hook a brotha up.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Post 2790. I searched this thread for "disable voodoo link". Third hit.
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
im not lazy moon. Is because english is not my first language. If you try to help just answer the questions. Don't be rude, thanks anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
My problem is that I have answered the question. Several times in fact. So, I feel I sort of have the right to be a little rude. :p

Edit: And don't feel too bad about it. It's not like I didn't give you the answer, again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:

[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Ahhh...

Thanks Moon, I never knew there was an option to search just this thread for something. i had been using the big search box at the top of the page and I was wondering why I was not getting any good results. ha ha. Hopefully now you won't have to answer any of my questions.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Hey, if I can teach one man to fish, I guess it's all been worth it. Sounds like you are good to go young padawan.

Edit: I was at Myrtle Beach in about 2004. Nice place.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
well...

Well... I learn something on here everyday. I hate being new to this because I just want to understand, and most (if not all) of what you will ever need to know is stashed away in these forums somewhere. Now if I can just figure out Odin, I think I will have all my basic Android flashing knowledge. ( Odin kinda scares me for some reason) Does that make me weird? lol

That's awesome bro, Thanks. It is a pretty nice place to be in the summer, come visit again sometime. The pavilion is gone now but the nightlife is getting better.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just click the links in my signature for files and directions to Odin. Learning is great. Look at my join date under my avatar. Then look at my posts. I have only had a smart phone for about 1 month. In many ways, I feel like a noob, but everything I have learned, I have learned on these forums. Lots and lots of info if you are willing to read a lot.

Edit: just to be clear, I am in no way bragging on the post count. I just wanted to make the point that we are all capable people. Even us noobs.
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
I was nervous wreck when I had to use ODIN first time because of STUPID T-Mobiles OTA update that soft bricked my phone.

But once I did it I was laughing at myself... it's so simple.. just follow the step by step directions in the Vibrant Bible thread and you will be fine.

STEP BY STEP. Make sure you do all the before things like drivers and all and that way you are totally prepared for ODIN
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
ok, no problem. I fix the phone but not with odin. I enter in recovery mode and I did a restore of my backup.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Good to hear. That's why we (actually, not me, but you guys) make backups.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Thanks bros!

Thank you and Thank you guys. Good advice from good peoples. Thats what i love about this site. I will be doing a little more research before I dive into the whole Odin thing. But thanks for the positive encouragement lol.

Funny bit of info: Odin is the Norse God associated with wisdom, war, battle and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt. Equivalent to the Greek god Zeus. ( no wonder it demands respects and strikes fear in our hearts! lol)
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
When dialing out via bluetooth. Can my Vibrant with the 2.2 with the Obsidian V4.2 ROM, verify what I'm dailing.

in other words,

When I push my bluetooth button, and I hear a voice "speak now" I then say "Call John Doe on mobile" it then says "Calling John Doe on mobile." Can I have it ask me if I want to call John Doe first? Becasue sometimes my Vibrant doesn't recognize exactly what I say and begin to dial someone that I don't want to dial.

I have to quickly pull my phone out of the holster and press "end call" before it dials.

Any solutions?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Dear God man, isn't this country in enough trouble as it is?! :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Amen, Amen, Praise be to the Holy Cow.

Edit: remember that guy I helped over the phone to get his vibrant unbricked? Well, the heading to his first PM to me was "My Saviour." I was like, :eek: and I mean literally.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Don't let it go to your head. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Why not? I thought I now had the power to brick everyone's phone at will.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Oh dear...I'm glad I'm on your "be nice to" list. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ilaf0106:
Does stock kernel work with eugene's A12 kernel? Or just ulf?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
They are ALL kernels... So thats not a real question...

Do you mean will the A12 kernel (from Eugene) work with Obsidian 4.2...?
[Vibrant Android Development] itskohler:
bump

I tried DLing all my apps and stuff from the market and it gave me the same error...anyone know what to do?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
READ THE DAMN THREADS!

FLASH back to stock... You lost your SD partitions when flashing 4.2... Flash back to stock, reflash 4.2 when done...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Whoa turbo. It'll be okay.

Pedamann meant to say, your directions are clearly outlined in the Original Post (OP). *Please* read it.

@Pedamann Don't become another dragon for me to tame. That's all I need.
[Vibrant Android Development] skokie8bali:
voice mail notification

hey guy's anyone lost the voicemail notification by chance?

since i upgraded to 4.2 no voicemail notification on the phone i can access voicemails and see if i have any which i do but no notifications!!

any ideas
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Hey, thats my mini rant of the day... I deserve it once in a while... =)
[Vibrant Android Development] itskohler:
I've done all of that, quite a few times actually. I applied the fix, didnt work. Flashed back to stock, then flashed a newly downloaded rom (since they all come with it now), didnt work.

i can read :)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Hold me back Pedamann. Hold me back I tell ya.

Edit: Okay, I'm calm. Yes, you will be missing those. I have read that you can just set up visual voice mail. For me, I don't have a data plan and can't do that. So, I have to live without them as well. Many have discussed this, and I have yet to read of any of the devs addressing why this happens or whether they plan to fix it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
**Asks nicely**

Did you click repartition in Odin when going back to stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] itskohler:
Sure did. I am beyond frustrated at this point. I flash all of my friends android phones, even do some for people off craigslist for some cig money, and I have never had this much trouble.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Moon is correct.. As usual...

Visual voicemail is the only fix to date, that i know of... Personally i HATE standard VM... I wish every ROM didnt have working VM... LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I run a photography business on the side, and I really need those notifications. Even if you don't Pedamann.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Thats why i said personally =)
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Google Voice ftw!
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
So, I ran the SD fix against my v3, and now I don't have access to my external sd via my handset or mounting as well...blarg...I at least had limited access to it before.

Can I just replace the vold.fstab with the one from v3 to get that back?
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Wish I didn't uninstall that.. lol dammit! Now I need to re-flash, but I don't wanna do that either. BOO. :( Lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Huh... Well okay then...

So... And dont take this wrong... Are you SURE... That when you went back to stock, your partitions were present again?

I havent seen anyone flash twice, or more then twice... And wipe their SD card each and every time... So i have to ask the questions that might seem stupid...
[Vibrant Android Development] crtsj:
Ok idk if its just me.... But my browser is really horrible... Slow, and it just froze up on a android central page. Im running 4.2 & so far this is the only hiccup but its a BIG one. Anybody else with this issue... Or any tips & tricks to fix it?
[Vibrant Android Development] itskohler:
I'm positive. I've been googling the hell out of the issue. I'm gonna try from the very beginning with 4.2 running and see if i can tweak the zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, so where is that PM?

As for google voice, I love it. Been using it since beta, but when people who still insist on calling my tmobile number leave a message, I can't get the google voice app on the phone to take the call and message. Maybe I'll get it figured out one day.

Edit: Downloading and flashing 4.2 with stock kernel now. The one with the supposed mount fix that is. We'll see.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Have you tried to flash say Eugenes 2.2 rom? I would be curious if its more a jump from 2.1 combined with some hardware deal on your phone... And not so much the Obsidian release... Then again maybe i am reaching... But these are the steps id take in researching...

EDIT: You can PM me if you want...
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Are you doing the autoconfigure moon?

It's kind of broken but it works.

in case you need it, when I installed google voice and tell it to sign into my account, tell it to never use gvoice to make calls from my phone. Hit next and hit configure for voicemail, it takes me to the voicemail screen. Choose google voice and hit ok. At this point it does nothing, so I hit the back key and then hit skip and finish.

That's it, I get voicemails from both my google voice number and my tmobile number. Running onyx 4.2 here as well.

Let me know if that works out for ya.
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Oh ok, that is weird i guess. Tho this is first ROM I've flashed on my Vibrant.

And WOW , it's amazing.. except for my FC on com.android.phone. Hopefully my logcat will help them figure out my problem
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Only thing I did was read this thread all morning. Someone else posted the fix, I was just reiterating it for everyone. No credit can be had by me.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Kernel issue.

You first need to flash a rom that comes with a 2.1 kernel (or just a 2.1 kernel first) before restoring a ROM that's 2.1 based.

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:

Obsidian using OCLF +Eugenes 803 kernel @ 1.2ghz:

Linpack: 15.884

Quadrant: 1992 <-- low wtf? for OCLF anyway

very snappy though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Just curious. The people that restored using Titanium backup did you do a restore with apps + all system data? I'm thinking since it's a new system we shouldn't restore system data.

Am I wrong for thinking this and just restore everything?
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
Can someone help me out with the playslogo situation?
[Vibrant Android Development] lralexl:
adb push playlogo /system/bin/

adb push playlogos1 /system/bin/

thats from a command prompt inside android sdk with the playlogos files in the adb directory.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
when its a whole new rom I restore Missing apps with Data
[Vibrant Android Development] tjhart85:
Because he wanted to be able to modify it for z4.

Lack of searching is most definitely the problem.

Do a search for it (in this thread) & delete the files recommended & it'll go away (did for me anyways).

You may also notice that the calendar doesn't sync properly. Do a search for that as well & push the files recommended & it'll work again.
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
I did app + data and all is well now.
[Vibrant Android Development] sw20matt:
thanks for the great rom.

after flashing the epic cam the fcc is working havent tryed fring yet.

Is there any chance of getting video calling?
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Cool thanks.

I've always done restore missing apps + system data with all the previous Bionix Roms without issue. I do untick certain things like market, keyboard and some others and wouldn't cause any issues for me.

But I'll try this with just the missing apps with data.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I didn't, and I wouldn't normally when flashing a different rom. I only restore k9 mail with data so I don't have to re-add all my accounts.
[Vibrant Android Development] bbman911:
GPS Really Fixed?

So I've read all the posts and I see that people are saying the GPS works and is extremely accurate, my question is, what does that mean? Does it get a lock in under a minute? Is the accuracy within 30 meters? Extremely accurate is purely subjective and for this phone, extremely accurate could mean that it can locate what state you are in...my wife's G2 gets locks consistently indoors in 4 seconds with accuracy at 6-15 feet. Is this now true for the Vibrant? Anyone have a GPS Status screenshot they'd like to post?

Thanks for any info folks want to share about the accuracy being found in this new ROM...
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
Someone mentioned using Titanium to do it. I would like to use this method as I don't have the SDK or ADB installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
My GPS locked in under 15 seconds and had an accuracy of 10 meters. And I was inside my house in my bedroom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Just use Terminal Emulater from the Market.
[Vibrant Android Development] lralexl:
Technically you could copy the 2 files to your internal sd and use root explorer or terminal emulator to move them to /system/bin/

as for moving with titanium, ive never heard of that.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
connect to wifi, install GV app, have it forward your VM to your GV number. problem soulved.

My bad. I had the file pulled up and everything. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I did that to the letter last night. Called myself from my wife's phone via my tmo number, and it went to my tmo voicemail. Left a message and it never went to google voice mail. Oh well.

No worries mate. I'm flashing now anyway, so if it doesn't work with it pre-installed like som said it would, then I'm stealing both your lunch monies.
[Vibrant Android Development] crtsj:
Sooooo nobodies browser is giving them troubles!??
[Vibrant Android Development] Oskiee:
Is there a place where i can read about those extra lagfix options?
[Vibrant Android Development] Joshochoa187:
Deleted wrong thread sry
[Vibrant Android Development] itskohler:
now im really up ****s creek...wont apply in zips. wtf?!
[Vibrant Android Development] geocepe:
First I would like to say I luv your roms. With that said I believe I have found a bug. I was running 4.2 Obsidian with the ULF Kernal. I had disabled lag fix options. I then was reflashing onyx 4.2with the standard kernal. after that it bricked my phone. This was no big deal I just odined back to stock. Just for my sake of mind if I am going to flash another rom with another kernal is there anything I need to do first? Thanks again for all your hard work you guys put in on your roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Slow down, what steps did you take?

And can you give me more then "wont apply in zips. wtf?!"...
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Anyone able to tell me how to go back to the stock Galaxy S boot screen? I removed the bootanimation folder and dropped in the samsung qmg files but it defaults to the JK2 android boot animation.
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
download issues?

I try to use the team whiskey page for download roms extras but for some reason dont let me. I was used the Android file Gabinet but isn't there. Somebody have more info above that or where I can find another mirror. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
You cant change the boot animation as its part of the kernel... See Soms post # 3812
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Bugger, I'll just stick with the stock JK2 boot then.

Edit: Actually I looked in the kernel and it calls /system/bin/bootanimation, I renamed that and the boot animation disappeared.
[Vibrant Android Development] S4BRE2121:
I don't know if this will help or not but I use youmail.com for my voicemail. When you get a voicemail they send you a text message and or email. There is also an app in the market that gives you alerts on your phone. Haven't used tmobile's voicemail in about 3 years
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, you offered me that advice the other day, but since I don't have a data plan, I can't get the notifications on the go. That is kinda why I really need a true fix and even google voice will not be a perfect fit for me. Thanks though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Ah, good deal... I was just going by what Som said...

Edit: if you can actually get another boot animation running, you should report back with what you did so others that want to make the change can... I personally couldnt care less about the 5 second boot...
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
Well Som is right, he just didn't really go into detail about it. bootanimation checks for bootanimation.zip in /data/local and /system/media, if it doesn't find that file it falls back to a built-in animation which we see as the stock JK2 boot.

I haven't found where it gets that animation from yet though as I'm just looking at initramfs.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
I've gotten many different boot animations to run on this rom and kernel. Just drop your bootanimation.zip in /data/local

I downloaded some boot animations to test and everything I've ran so far has worked. I haven't gone so far as to test out the galaxy s boot animation since it was a flashable zip, that won't work and i'm too lazy to go through and set it up correctly.

Anyway, this is tested and works.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
To moon, what is this "adb shell" that team whiskey is suggesting I type "mount" into? in order to make sure voodoo is disabled?

Ha ha page 420
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
download "Terminal Emulator" from the market

in there just type in "mount"
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Awesome, thanks fort the quick response!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yes, you can get adb which is an android developers tool found in the android sdk package and you run it from you pc through cmd. Or, you can do what was suggested, and probably easier for noobs, and get the terminal emulator app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Castle5665:
So, to be clear.......these boot animations won't work?
