You've got the right idea. You can flash Nero and afterward flash (usually via Clockwork recovery) a kernel of your choice, such as one of Eugene's. Seems a lot of folks like his new Super IO Kernel. I've yet to try it as I'm a big fan of the Voodoo lagfix.

Most all ROM's come with kernels. Many kernels can be used with different ROM's, but not always. Good to check to see if a kernel you wish to use is compatible with a given ROM.

On the threads out here you'll find that ROM's and kernels are pretty clearly marked to avoid confusion.

i've upgraded from beta 1 to 3 i've been getting tons of force close on sms. i am not sure if i am alone on this im about to test the gps.
[Vibrant Android Development] serge1231123:
Has anyone had the problem when flashing zips where it gives you an error?
[Vibrant Android Development] Mookie_Jones:
your zip file probably wasnt complete was all. try redownloading it.

I am having the same issue on beta 3.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chance Ill:
A simple reboot should fix that...:)
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
tried eugene gingerbread and didn't totally approve so im back and about to install voodoo kernel. ttyl
[Vibrant Android Development] draven806:
So since the Nexus S officially drops Thursday, does that mean we'll start seeing some tasty gingerbread soon?
[Vibrant Android Development] beowolf:
Good question, I think I rather wait for a "true gingerbread" I am running Beta 2 with no problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wade-0:
One minor "issue" that I'm experiencing on Beta 3 is the shutdown (and reboot) process takes an insanely long time. Anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSVdeal:
A while ago, I flashed Obsidian b4. I liked it kinda but occasionally my phone would end up in airplane mode. I moved to Beta 5. My phone ran well at first and then after a while became unstable and would switch to airplane mode constantly and was SUPER laggy. I couldn't wait for an update. I dissappeared for a few days and then saw Nero 3, flashed and have been LOVING IT! It's fast and Super smooth (kinda like an iPhone).

I was a bit apprehensive at first after reading everyone's issues but went for it anyway. Went through the usual back-up motions, Odin of course, flashed and waited as TW recommends. 0 issues with no need for a lag fix.

I think that if you Odin and give the phone that 15 mins of recommended time after reboot, you should be good.

I was reading on another forum that partioning and repartioning and all of the lag fixes actually wear down the internal SD card. Maybe some folks are having issues because over time their hardware has taken a beating.

I do have a question though, this ROM, as well as my last Obsidian ROM, gives me an FC each time I click display when I have installed fonts that I got from XDA. When I uninstall the fonts everything is all good. Why is that? Am I alone on this one?
[Vibrant Android Development] jmatic:
Camera back button works fine for me. I'm on eugene's super io kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] hypersonicx:
Yeah scrolling up/down in browers / menus ect...
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Wow, I have no idea what happened, but flashing this build totally corrupted my internal SD card. just a warning, be sure to backup to someplace safe, off your phone. Was working fine for several hours but when I mounted USB, it gave some very strange errors and would allow any moving\deletion of files. Def file system issues, gonna wipe, reformat internal SD, restore backup and try and see if I can figure out what happened.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Go to your browser setting, go down to Plug-In and select "On-Demand". Your browser lag should now be significantly reduced.

Flash is the reason why your browser lags so much, putting it on demand means you need to click a "down arrow" (browse to a flash site and you will know what I mean) for flash to start working, but it makes the page loads and scroll so much faster/remove ads that I don't think anyone would complain about it.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Smooth as can be here.. Weird.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Not file system issues dude... Don't wipe that... It's issues with the ROM. Your files are fine!
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Here's a logcat of the USB mount procedure:

http://pastebin.com/mkTXEvqA

It appears to be related to Clockworkmod Recovery's inability to access the SD card too.

Bug?

I tried speed test (I'm from California) and it's default is CO, and there is no way to change it to a CA server... my download speeds are very slow. =(
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
It's because the backbone is located in else where? I am not so sure but for me Dallas,TX is automatically selected even though I am in San Antonio, TX.

Click the "Settings" tab up top and you can change server location from there, top right).

i found the blue sea live wallpaper does not properly show. anyone saw it?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] gbakabg:
Just installed and gps is super fast locking...no issues...I'm liking this...i just need to get back the dark theme and we good....very nice work...
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okey this one is strange to me. I successfully flashed Obsidian and have been running it a few hours restored my apps and contacts and what have you. I have had minor problems, FC's, I decided that I would try one of the Kernels available on Eugenes thread to OC. Well after rebooting, don't like the GT-I9000, I have lost all my apps including Titanium but, and here is where I'm confused, all my contacts are still intact. All of the other apps that came packaged with this Rom are still there, Wifi Calling, Rom Manager but not Titanium. At this point should I ODIN back to stock and try all over. I did originally just flash over Fusion 1.2 Core 1.3ghz.

Edit: Contacts is the only thing that stayed. Lost Market sign in, bookmarks, email accounts.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
As was said previously your files are fine! It's just an issue with the rom and pulling files. I've just been using adb to pull files, media player mode seems to be working but is very slow.

I think Samsung rewrote the usb mounting bit to make file transfers faster as when I was pulling files via usb mount it was much faster then before.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
yea that's been mentioned breifly ages ago so its good to bring it back up...
[Vibrant Android Development] y2whisper:
I assume you cannot use this rom with Bell in canada? (network wise)
[Vibrant Android Development] richmc73:
Only problems I have had so far is when syncing Facebook contacts it only pulls the first 60 and when I am texting I can't use the voice to text feature. It opens but shows mic with a red line thru it. Also in navigate, it tells me Voice Search(process.com.google.android.voicesearch) has stopped working.

Otherwise I am loving this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Can you launch the actual Voice Search app in the drawer and does that work?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
@sammyvibrantuser try the launcher 2 in Eugene's macnut thread - using and loving it. Download it and copy to /system/app with riot explorer and you're good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] richmc73:
It gives me the same error when trying to open it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jmatic:
I just noticed that the memo app does not exist. I'm on nero beta3. Please add that app back. Something that I always use.
[Vibrant Android Development] naack:
i noticed that the voice recorder is not sensitive at all which can effect some apps that use the mic for whatever reason some apps doesnt even pick it up. i am not sure if thats something that has to do with the rom, model or a hardware problem that mine has.

-edit-

i used a new i9000 for a little while the recording was fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Scrosen:
Awesomely fast and smooth rom, fixed my mounting problem!!!

Many thanks to the developers!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Hmmmm, when flashing I am getting the following error:

E: Failure at line 11:

copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:

Installation aborted.

I am coming from Obsidian v3, disabled voodoo lag fix and get the above. Maybe a corrupt download?
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
To add into my problem above, I am still having the mounting problems there were present in Obsidian v3 where the computer would not allow me to transfer data or files to the external sd card. I never did apply the fix. Would that have anything to do with it?
[Vibrant Android Development] MarkAroundTheWorld:
Bluetooth HID support!!

To answer my own question from earlier... (this thread grows too fast to hunt for any responses.. lol)

Bluetooth HID works! Now I can hook up my generic MP-0118+ Keyboard. Works pretty well so far. To get it to re-connect after the initial pairing, I had to hit enter instead of the button by the battery.

So far liking Nero B3.. very snappy and theme is pretty cool.

Since I'm still learning but want to contribute, I've attached a picture I took while at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal last month for use as a wallpaper. It's of the moon setting behind I think Annapurna I or Annapurna South. It's mostly black so goes well with the power saving for the screen.

Thanks TW. Great Work!
[Vibrant Android Development] puremalice:
possible bug: notification sounds

I haven't caught up on my postings today due to work but I don't think I have seen this before in the pages I have read.

I will set all my notification tones for voice mail, phone calls, etc. and the next day they will all change to something completely different. This happened in beta 2 as well but I only had that on for a day or so and then put on the 3.

I completely odin'd back to originall before flashing to B.3 so it should be a pretty clean install.
[Vibrant Android Development] ugokind:

Gingerbread keyboard for Nero

Posted HERE in THIS thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] ihackyourtech:
BUG

While you're in a call, and you hit menu & click memo or note it crashes android. I never use this feature but I was bored with my gf on speakerphone and it hung up on here bcuz of it lol. Just a heads up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Bump.......
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Yes, it has everything to do with it.

Oding back to stock then re flash nero, you'll be fine after that.
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
Thank you for posting this keyboard.

Do i flash this like normal ? or is there some procedure.
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerod:
Haptic adjustment; Android keyboard

I think the haptic feedback bug is related to having the GB Android keyboard set as the input method. In my testing I found that there is NO haptic feedback in the GB Android kb (yes, it's set to vibrate in settings) AND, the haptic intensity does NOT change while this kb is the input method. When I change to Swype or Vlingo kb's the intensity DOES adjust according to the setting in Sound and the kb's both provide haptic feedback.

--Edit--

OK, despite changing keyboards, the haptic on the backlit keys is still less intensive than when using the keyboard. I still believe it adjusts, but not as much as it should.

P.S. TW: I know you asked us not to mod the ROM with other kernels, etc. I went ahead and posted this haptic issue because I noted that several others were having it too. It's your fault that you make such cool ROM's that us Cappy guys come over here looking for the goods! :D

Also, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this: seems birthdays from Facebook nor Google calendars are synching. New entries seem to synch fine...will test more and post again later.

Cool boot animation, but not my favorite. I liked the one webstar1 put in his Ultimate ROM. Also, the female shutdown sound is a little low to me...sounds like a drag queen. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
If your having that many issues, i would go back to JDF and reflash... BUT... If you want, try this...

Download the zip here

http://www.adrive.com/public/98400509c3a4b4810e64829c2ddc499b48868dc43523fc9d63882c547ef3e95b.html

Extract BOTH files, move to SD...

With Root Explorer find /system/etc

Remove vold.conf and vold.fstab

REPLACE those with the vold files you just extracted from the zip...

Reboot...

SD mounting issue fixed!
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Flash like anything else that is flashed through clockwork.

Sent from this one thing using another thing. Cool isn't it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Thanks man, I don't use Odin but I will reflash back to stock using CWR
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
I reflashed packages to get to the custom recovery. Chose the zip to flash and installed it. It said that it had succesfully installed but nothing happens after a reboot. What do ?

Im running Nero beta 3. Odined back to stock before installing btw.

( the file was in root directory and i did not change the name of the zip file )
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
+1. flashed through clockwork and nothing. i also tried using root explorer to push the two files to their respective places and still nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] PePPaZ:
Pretty sure you have to change your default keyboard from swype to GB Keyboard in Settings

See ? its a glitch

can not forward MMS

For some reason I cannot forward a MMS on nerov3, my buddy has the same issue on Obsisanv5.

Is there a setting I missed for this issue?

I'm a noob at modding phones

any help would be appreciated

I have been searchin g this post as well for an update on this. I have terrible reception (if any at home) and when I tried wifi calling I figured...Im saved...and it worked fine with obsidian v5 and with nero beta 1...any ideas how to fix it here? Cant getting working either
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
As I said, I have no idea why the Blackout Green KB isn't working for some of you. Guess we just need to wait for Camalot to chime in over in the original thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] nonmindo:
I saw it mentioned not sure if there was a fix, but if someone can point me in the general direction of how many pages back it was or a link to it, im having the following issue

When an sms comes in and I fit the puzzle piece to unlock and take me to the message, it instead opens a compose screen to the person that sent the message..

Before anyone suggests it, I have wiped, and re-odin back then installed the rom, everything else works flawlessly
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Thanks alot for the clarification, I reverted back to stock via CWR and then flashed Nero v3, works perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
problems I am having.

I am unsure if these problems are directly caused by nero_beta_3. But I feel I have to post them here.

I noticed the problems in the first place because I had a x-mas grab bag gift list on my phone, re-flashed it and lost the data. I had an early backup created with Rom Manager (what I believe is known as cwm)

The restore I have was from november, and when I selected it to restore from, the phone restarted, booted into recovery. It sent me to the green menu with the install from sd card and so on. I selected restore, and my restore file. It did its thing. But when it finishes and restarts the phone locks at the Vibrant logo. I restart, pull battery and let sit a few min and the same thing. So I re-odin, re-root and tried again. Same. I re odin, re root and try the backup I made earlier today before I started and it does the same thing.

Is that nero beta 3's fault? Rom managers? Its not a huge deal but I would like to think I could make backups if I needed to.

The only other problem I have is really the kicker. And again, not sure if Nero Beta 3 is to blame. To much of a noob!

It seems that the media scanner (what happens after you un plug usb) Isn't picking up the 10 gb of music I have on the phones internal memory. If I go to the media player, if finds one folder, and then some sound effects I have else where. But nothing else. I can go to files, browse to the folder and play a song no problem. The music is in media/music/

Those are the 2 bugs I have having since updating to nero_beta_3. Please feel free to ask me questions that will lead to a better idea of whats going on. And sorry for the lack of understanding. Hope this helps make Android on my awesome Vibrant that much better!

Nick
[Vibrant Android Development] zharptitza:
Is that the same as the clockwork loadable fix Sombionix posted in a separate thread to fix the problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
ROM Manager/CWR does not back up the kernel. If your backup was a 2.1 ROM, the restore will not replace the 2.2 kernel leading to being stuck at the Vibrant screen. Find a 2.1 kernel and flash it, then restore your backup.

At least that is what come to mind right off the bat.
[Vibrant Android Development] ugokind:
ok

i'll apply tomorrow.. thanks and good night (for me ehe)

BUG

Getting force closes on the stock messaging app...And I dont even use it. I use chompsms and for some reason the stock messaging app has a "force close" pop up sometimes when I get txts.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

Sorry, I gave you bogus advice. I realized this morning that Stock JK6 is totally odexed and the apk's probably won't work with Nero. I'm gonna see if I can attach some deodexed files for you. I'm on page 636, so if you already solved this, my apologies!:)

Sorry, for some reason the 'Manage Attachments' button isn't working. I'll try to do it tonight when I get home. I'll pm you.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

Odin'd back to stock and did a clean install of Nero. Did not restore any application data with titanium this time. Everything running fairly smooth, just a hiccup here and there.

Issues:

Sometimes the app drawer opens to a blank, black screen that will populate sometimes and sometimes not.

I experience the random force close of the messaging app.

The first message I sent, the contact name was incorrect. All the others have been correct though. For all contacts, when I go to "contacts' choose a contact, tap 'history', tap the menu button, tap 'view by', then tap 'Message' and back out, it does not save. When I navigate back the 'Message' box is unchecked.
[Vibrant Android Development] a4 moda:
SOLUTION!!!!

Okay, credit be where credit is due. I was trolling TW forums because I'm using Morific's 1.4 kernel. I found the solution there as one other was experiencing the same issue as I.

Problem:

I had the Media player/Winamp player force Freeze issues on my phone.

Solution:

DRM content. (2 files) DO NOT DELETE THESE !!!!! I deleted these using Titanium, and this cause tremendous issues with the phone.

I wanted to update everybody on this.

Happy flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

I think you are both saying that you re-installed wifi calling and it doesn't work? I just re-installed it myself last night, a deodexed version. I froze it immediately with Titanium as I'm not sure if the issue of it being on all the time has been fixed. I'll try to test it, but have never used it before.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

I can't turn on my wifi at all. I can't do it through the Wifi calling app or manually. I checked my Superpowerxda setting to see if I had chosen some config to account for this and think the answer is no. If this has been a bug, I missed it. Has anyone reported Wifi not working?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Sorry dude...I don't think I've seen a single post about WiFi not working. :( I've not had trouble with any ROM/kernel/planetary alignment combination I've ever used.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

I didn't think I'd seen anything either. I'm wondering if I should freeze Superpower and see if that resolves the issue. It's nice to use this at home with my network as I get faster downloads.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I've had Wifi on and off at least 5 or 6 times over the last day and it fired right up. Kernel and Modem that came with Nero.
[Vibrant Android Development] crazyald:
too many home screens

7 screens for this rom is too much . i've already tried searching for this but i can't figure it out. Is there a way to delete some screens?
[Vibrant Android Development] Gopena:
Hooray!

Just finished flashing. Still getting to know the rom, but I think I've found a daily driver, since this rom actually puts call audio through the headphone jack if there are headphones in.

What I'm getting at is that I FINALLY HAVE A ROM THAT I CAN USE IN THE CAR! My Vibrant is pretty much the hub of my car, since I use it for mp3 playback, steaming audio, phone calls, and as a chronopack at times (Hopefully getting a bluetooth diagnostic connector for mpg readout!)

So many thanks to the devs for an amazing (so far) Rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

No, or at least, not yet. I can't imagine that was by design. You can install another launcher until they get it worked out:)
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Nero

OK, I just froze Superpower then rebooted and the wifi is up and running. The wifi calling app detected several networks and connected to ATT (I'm at Starbuck's) I just tested it with a friend at the counter who was ordering coffee and it works fine. I'll try to attach the proper .apk. It's a deodexed one.

Place it on the internal or external sd (depending on which will work for you) Move to system/app and change the permissions to rw-r--r--. A reboot may be necessary.

ok...im kind of a noob, is there another way to handle this? like is it a flashable -zip somewhere at all? i mean if not, then whatever...but can someone let me know! thanks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
Thank you! Should i undo lagfix first before flashing the rom or leave it this way
