Cool, that's what RAM130 told me to do...I'm bout to freeze it now. I don't use wifi calling at all. I don't know but for some reason, the first time I recondition my battery after flashing the kernel, I couldn't really tell that the battery was better. The 2nd day I noticed the difference, actually was up 19 hours with like 9% left before I charged it for the night so it's pretty good for this phone and light years better than my G1. I was wary at first but a few of those who tried the kernel has had a good reaction that's why I bit the bullet and gave it a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazykidd:
It sounds like the problem is the fact that it's not mounted on the right SD card. Make sure it's on the internal one and not the external one. The internal one is the one that looks like a 11.87 gb drive.
[Vibrant Android Development] darkknight49:
That's not "bricking" the phone. If you bricked it, the phone won't do anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazykidd:
Are you running the stock kernel that came with it? Bluetooth works fine for me. Either you're restoring something with TB that you're not supposed to or you have a 3rd party app that's giving it the FCs. Your phone not entering recovery is from the lack of a busybox. Go to the market and install it. We've been stressing this in this thread for some time now. Aside from that, there are a few available options on this ROM that will FC the phone. None of them cover bluetooth however. I still OBEX push with my computer fine over bluetooth.

You probably have your "Use wireless location" active. Turn that off, otherwise you'll never pick up a location with GPS. It's available under Settings>Location and security>Use wireless networks. Hope that helps.

+1.

Theoretically, a brick would be if you broke the bootloader. If you still get the Phone ! Computer (yes, that's the bootloader), you're not bricked. I came back from one of those using a USB jig to throw into download mode.

Oh, I'd also like to add that while the Live wallpapers are great, however not all the functionality was ported over with them. The Luminescence wallpaper is broken.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Would you flash a kernel the same way you flash a ROM? The kernel doens't replace the ROM right?
[Vibrant Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
Yeah, flash through recovery or CWM (I personally have had none of the CWM issues that others have)

No, it doesn't replace the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
thanks! I think I'm going to try out obsidian v4.2 until v5 becomes hassle free or 1.2 comes out here, then i'm going to try the Universal lag fix from TW. Would i have to disable any lagfix i currently have going on before flashing a kernel, or new lagfix? thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Does anyone know if Cyanogen Mod will ever become available for Galaxy S virbrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
Its in development. Patience my young padawan.
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Will 1.2 be coming out tonight as stated a week ago?
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
so you didn't follow the fix.... Read about 20 pages back... or my sig if your lazy
[Vibrant Android Development] enuro12:
Anderdroid last login to the forum was yesterday. He didn't bother posting an update, so I'd say its safe to say any 1.2 update is up in the air at best.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Hey guys,

I'm sure some of you might find it weird that me and Anderdroid basically came off the forums at the same time and stop replying here. Just to make it clear, we did not plan this one :D

Anyways just an update, 1.2 should be out soon hopyfully. I'm not really having much issues with this rom other than the swapping/ram issue, call tones and the 304mb of ram. Battery life is good enough for me.

Also I'm shocked at the alarming number of people here who just DON'T READ and then start posting problems as if it's the rom's fault. It's not, it's you. One more thing, I've said it before, to avoid half the issues:

Don't use Rom Manager to flash, just use it to install clock work. Then reboot and get into clockwork, clear caches and flash the rom/kernel and ALWAYS put the file on the INTERNAL storage. Oh and DON'T flash ANY kernel you think might work, chances are it will erase your internal SD, cause messed up boot screens and other issues you did not intend. ;)

And for those with battery issues, I suggest you use Titanium backup and freeze all drm related things, wifi calling and flash this kernel:

Anyways, wish you all the best. I'm thinking of getting the Droid 2 Global on black friday so I may not be here long to help you guys. :o (samsung's behavior to updates, remaining issues that are still unfixed just don't cut it for me anymore, I could care less about the screen now)...
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
flashed this kernel and i don't notice anything at all yet, but I'll leave my phone uncharged for a few days and see how it fairs. Is the kernel basically a batter mod or does it have other features?
[Vibrant Android Development] HYE_TECH:
I didn't notice it at first myself but I do see the difference now. I just froze Wifi calling and unplugged at 4pm. It's now 10pm and I have 76% left with moderate use. That's pretty good. I'm not complaining :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
enuro,

is there a way to get your battery mod from your signature to show up in xda app?

[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
what kind of kernel are you flashing? is it a OC? or just lag fixes??

[Vibrant Android Development] BlackImpact:
Is there a way I can extract just the WiFi Calling app and install it?

[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
I just want to post this for Anderdroid to see:
[Vibrant Android Development] ohnoezmahfone:
I also experienced this error.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazykidd:
When I last flashed this, I deleted the boot animations folders in the .zip. You need to find those and remove. It'll say something like "boot not found" and then you'll reboot from there. Once you reboot, you'll have the new battery.

HOWEVER, the flash breaks the AOSP stock unlock screen so the slide-able tabs are 2 toned afterwards.

Known issues I've seen so far...

-Phone app FCs when you have tones during call connect or end enabled.

-Some live wallpapers are broken

-Swype has "sitting" missing out of it. If "sitting" is missing, what else can be?

-Busybox is not always installed. Suggest to see if you can get the BusyBox Installer by Stericson bundled in by any chance.

-Messaging notifications are somewhat bugged. Someone mentioned being unable to turn off the notifications. I can't get my notifications to sound off; no ringtone will play for any text message I receive.

-Sometimes after ending a call, the Notifications slide down screen won't slide down any more. I don't know if this is in response to using ADW, but restarting ADW doesn't fix it and I have to reboot to bypass. I've seen it a few times, but I think after you restart a few times, you'll stop seeing it. Highly recommend you include to cycle the phone through at least 2 reboots after flashing.

If anyone sees any more, feel free to copy the list and paste it. It'll keep better track of problems for our awesome ROM developer.

wtf is wrong with op? is he ever gona come out with an update...
[Vibrant Android Development] techboydino:
Probably not if you ask like that. Its been less than 2 weeks since his last update. Dev's have lives too. Just sayin.
[Vibrant Android Development] shehrammajid:
I love this rom! However I'm missing to things from the stock rom. Is there any way to get the stock calculator and the stock video player back on here? I tried extracting the apks from stock rom and putting them into system/app

..but it didn't seem to work...any help plz?
[Vibrant Android Development] nhoemvedau:
simply the best rom for vibrant !!!!! (if you dont like touchwiz) and samsung stuff :D

i really like this ROM and wont' use another :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Stridermatu:
I've had the notification issue twice so far. Once last week and once 40 minutes ago. I tried everything to get the notification bar to scroll the length of my screen. No dice. Nothing worked. I had to reboot the phone to get it fixed.

Ex SD still doesn't work correctly when connected to PC. SD card fix is installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
This ROM keeps bricking my phone!!!

I love the look and feel of this ROM, but as soon as I try to Mount the SD cards on my Mac all hell breaks loose! At first, both drives show up with no issues, I can add files and everything, but when I try to unmount the 16 GB it won't unmount. After several attempts to force quit the drives I end up having to unplug my Mac to make the drive icons go away. Okay, so when I plug the USB back in, the 2GB Sd card mounts fine, the 16GB however makes my mac create and error saying something like "OSX was unable to repair this drive, files can be viewed but no changes can be saved" something to that affect. Next, I try and reboot my phone, and bam, i get the dreaded Samsung Vibrant screen that never goes away. So pissed caue I have Odin back to stock 2.1 Eclair! This just sucks because I really hate TouchWiz! I used LagFix to root, does that have any affect on this ROM?? Anyone have any ideas? I need me some Froyo!
[Vibrant Android Development] ripsphone:
Has anyone tried applying a theme to this ROM? Is it even compatible? What about metamorph? I am seriously digging this ROM, but I hate the white notification/status bar.

Ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] g1Bodie:
I love this rom..i try out the newer 2.2 roms but they all kill my battery in 2hrs without charging..i got use to the white bar for now
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Install busybox and give that a go. Also, install the kernel that is mentioned in this thread, it really helps out with speed, battery life and stability.
[Vibrant Android Development] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Does it help with the SD card and bricking issue? I use my phone for movies so I need to be able to put on and take off movies often.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Yes, clear your caches ..format..install rom in clockwork then the SD fix(from the OP)..boot up, let it rest for 10min then install busy box after your first boot then reboot and your good to go.

Hmm weird..never had the issue..only have a weird sd setup but it works fine for copying stuff over..

Soon..be patient..
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Thanks ..+1

but never experience the last 3 you mention..then again I'm using handcent sms..
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
I know right... I'm waiting for such.

:D

Or at least (for now) a compatible OC/UV/LF kernel for this ROM till they get one on hand.... I'm itching for Bionix Core, but i'm afraid to brick it.
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
Indeed, I haven't even tried the ULF kernal either to see if it help, but still afraid.
[Vibrant Android Development] andyjang8944:
I disabled it...

Are you on Obsidian?

This ROM also has the same issue as it is based off of Obsidian

You can try pushing with ADB if the method in that topic doesn't work.

adb push Vibrant_AOSPish_JK2_v1.0.zip /sdcard/
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
think i found a bug..wifi calling seems to be using more cpu that it should. Enabled wifi and my cpu spiked..disabled it and it return to normal but wifi calling still using some cpu..I have it disabled btw..not officially sure what is happening but gonna keep monitoring..

tomorrow I'll let you know more if it gets serious..anyway I'm tired..off to sleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Just keep in mind that WiFi in general itself uses more CPU power than a 3G connection and eats more Battery as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] andyjang8944:
oh alright, thanks so much for the link. it copied perfectly now. Will those fixes be included as well on the next update?
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
:D

Dunno. I really hope to have it fixed but it seems either Kernel related or related to something Team Whiskey did when modifying stock JK2. I really want a stock JK2 build to base this off...
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
not in my case..wifi + 3G equals great stand by and less cpu from my testing days with 2.1 on the vibrant and the nexus one..either way wifi calling shouldn't be using cpu, thats what I'm getting at :D ..sorry about that though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Well whatever experience you've had with it dunno... Just saying what I heard from watching the I/O talk about battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Well don't worry about it..I'll keep monitoring this lil so called bug...for now..no official bugs.

and about that wifi battery thing, I've actually experienced it. When I'm 3G only I get a 2% battery drain per hour..with wifi on I get around 0.8% batter drain per hour ..I know it's impossible to believe, I was the same way until I tested it my self. Anyways I'm sleepy right now so I'll catch up with you later on..

Great rom man :cool::cool: loving it
[Vibrant Android Development] andyjang8944:
lol im having a hard time flashing this AOSP rom from Bionix Obsidian...I have the file in internal sd and tried to use ROM Manager to flash it but...its keep going into the regular reboot menu not the clockword reboot menu...Rebooted my phone 3rd time now...still won't goto clockwork reboot menu lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] ScooterG:
Same...love the 10 character limit...
[Vibrant Android Development] SamVib:
this better be worth it :D I had TW's Froyo and I couldn't copy it to the internel sd card. I uploaded it to dropbox and that took 34 mins. now i am downloading. I know I fail. :O
[Vibrant Android Development] andyjang8944:
i think i should try odin to factory stock...2.1..lol and then re root it and then re download rom manager or something?
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
try flash clockword mod from rom manager then reboot into recovery and select reinstall packages
[Vibrant Android Development] ScooterG:
Palm to face...thanks. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
did you try adb push? even if mounting doesn't work for me i can still adb push to sdcard.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Forgot to mention, check out all the notifications / ringers / alarms included in this ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] SamVib:
I just flashed it. I really don't know how to use abd.

Eugene's kernels do work on this rom, although they have some issues in general that aren't rom specific.

Any way to get the TW camera app on this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Malike25:
I've been using this ROM since day 1 when he released 1.1 and have had no issues with it, other than the weird boot up animation when I installed Voodo5, but that is not the ROMs fault. I reconditioned my battery and right now in class I'm sitting at 60% battery life left with 13h 33m 21s since I last unplugged it this morning. This is awesome battery life for me and no other ROM has been able to get me this much battery life. I tend to do 1-2 hrs of phone calls, 100's of text per day, email, minor internet/facebook browsing, and some wifi tethering here and there. I love this ROM and the battery life I'm getting using Eugene's kernel and Voodo5.

People eventually he'll release an update. Keep in mind that if he's not experiencing the issue it's going to be more difficult for him to resolve it and will take him longer. Every ROM has issues even the stock ones. Be happy that he's sharing his creation that he built for himself and to his liking. If you don't like this ROM or it's not working for you then don't use it. Luckily, there are other options out there for you and I wish you luck finding one you like. If you don't like what's out there then read up and build one if you're so dam picky. I hate coming on here and reading negative comments about these developers when they are building these ROMs on their spare time and sharing them with us for NO CHARGE (FREE!!!).

Thanks Anderdroid for this great ROM and keep up the good work :cool:.

Very well said.

I would just hope that Anderdroid doesn't develop a resentment for all the people bashing him/his work and decide to not share his future work with those who appreciate his work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Malike25:
Exactly what Eugene did. He created his own forum on another site to share his work and he did this due to all the bashing.

[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
Just flashed this rom, works and runs great. One minor quibble though...for some reason google voice does not show up in the market. Issue with the signature in build.prop?

Edit: nm...found it through using a app specific parameter (aka pname:com.google.android.apps.googlevoice).....odd..
[Vibrant Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
Sad day.

It's disappointing that people can't appreciate good work when they see it.

At least I'm happy with it, and will continue to be for at least as long as it takes to get CM6 functional on here. With every other custom rom in here being hideously disfigured it's upsetting to lose something that's actually worth looking at.

:(
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
So true..but I wouldn't give up yet.

I wish I was running 1.2 beta but I put it there for hopes if you know what I mean.

I'll be heading to Verizon for the droid 2 global this week ..2yr contract and all...breaking up my family plan and it should prevent me from buying phones every min :D
[Vibrant Android Development] androidcee123:
I feel you...I went through those thoughts when I had my G1 and was nearing the end of my 2 year contract, I was gonna bolt. But then something a bit more attractive came out.

Which leads makes me think: what's the status of the new Android phones that TMobile was supposed to be releasing around the holidays? At least, that's what was being said earlier in the year!

Sorry if it's a bit off topic!!!!! Just wondering.

I need to slow down so the contract thing with Verizon should help me out their while still being able to get 3G if I travel to Jamaica for vaction ..

There will always be a better device out in two weeks after you buy your phone. Just the way the technology industry goes I suppose. I just got lost in it :D .. either way I hate the fact I got to hack my phone just make it "near lag free" ..near working perfect gps and to get the latest version which is still buggy. It's time consuming, I just want my phone to work near perfect of the box. Not to mention Samsung already prove how they will forever act with Android updates and saying by next year the vibrant will get 2.2 ..wow.

I only can hope for the best now though. Cheers.

It's not the rom. It's 2.2 source and my alarm clock was on time this morning..so maybe you need a re-flash? ..Hmm

I've tested A14 and A_OVERKILL from his thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844404

A_OVERKILL is the newest, but it seems likely to be the best option currently. I had stability issues from A14.

The issues I've seen from these kernels are *not* ROM specific - just problems with the kernels and the hardware in general. This ROM seems to work as well with them as any.

can someone help me out quickly? I'm trying to flash this rom in clockwork recovery but when I start up recovery it doesn't see my sd card.. I get the option to 'install .zip from sdcard' but when I click that I see the root of my phone memory so I click the /sd folder but nothing happens...

is there something I need to do first for recovery to see my sd card?? thanks!

Make sure that you are placing the zip file on INTERNAL sd card, not the external.
[Vibrant Android Development] pookguy88:
how do I know which is which?? ok I think I'm placing it on the external one, which one is the internal one? is that the same as the phone memory?

when I plug the phone into my computer for USB storage I get 2 drives, a 13gb one and a 2gb one.. the 2gb one is my microsd I believe.. so I should be putting it on the 13gb partition, isn't that the phone memory?
[Vibrant Android Development] androidcee123:
Yes put it on the 13gb partition. I had that same problem when trying to flash this ROM.
