[Vibrant General] m00nshake:
I respect and admire everything the devs have done for us here with their mods, and I am happy with what they've been able to achieve with the Vibrant.

I guess what originally started my concern was after running a linpack, and then seeing the top 10 scores/devices, which all belonged too the G2. My assumption was that the reason for their *much* higher scores had to do with the filesystem, since from what I remember reading, the Vibrant actually has faster hardware.

That being said, I've also read that cyanogenmod builds from the ground up, and that if they did come up with a cyanogenmod for Vibrant, it would hopefully enable us to get comparable benchmark scores to that of the G2.

I know some XDA members post that 'benchmark scores do not mean everything', but I never see them elaborate as to why it doesn't mean everything.

Finally, at the very least, to be considerate to the large number of former cyanogenmod users who now own a Vibrant and are hoping on cyanogenmod for their new device, the devs there should at the least put a post on the main page of their website regarding their progress and plans. Overall, the lack of doing so has given me, at least, the feeling of abandonment.

Will I run out and buy a G2? Hell no. I'm happy with my device and the work done here at XDA. Am I disappointed in Cyanogenmod, though, for their lack of keeping us updated and for releasing a G2 mod first, yes.

Thanks for your input everyone

CM has a beta for i9000 already and dont pay attention to benchmarks they are screwed with vibrant only thing that ****s me with this phone is the gps

[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
The high linpack score you see on G2 and other Snapdragon CPU powered Android devices running Android OS 2.2+ is due to JIT optimization.

JIT is highly optimized for these CPU, mostly due to the fact that the dev device, Nexus One, is a Snapdragon powered.

As soon as JIT gets optimization for Hummingbird you will see the jump in Linpack for our Galaxy S devices - hopefully it will be done sooner than later.

The way I understand why CM development has stalled for Galaxy S is that their code is better suited for HTC devices, look it only has taken them a few weeks before they have released the CM mod for MTG4 after its release, but it has taken them months to release a beta for Galaxy S.

Patience my friend :)
[Vibrant General] gtg465x:
Guys, CyanogenMod progress hasn't stalled and you haven't been abandoned. We already have a working beta on the i9000 and Captivate. You guys could probably get in on the beta too if one of your devs modifies the i9000 CyanogenMod kernel to work with the Vibrant.

[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
from what i've seen about JIT and hummingbird, 2.2 just isn't optimized for hummingbird chips. and i'm pretty sure google knows this. They had ages to work on snap dragon chips (i think that's the right name) which is why the jump from pre 2.2 to 2.2 brought such huge increases in linpack scores.

Well, in the hummingbird's case, the jump from 2.1 to 2.2 only brought minor increases in linpack scores.

The problems with benchmarks like linpack and quadrant, is they aren't real world representations of what you actually experience. One of the better tests to run is the setCPU native benchmark, as it's unaffected by JIT and other optimizations. it tests your chip's raw power, which does correspond to realworld performance better than linpack or quadrant.

Also, consider quadrant. Vibrant owners have found an exploit in quadrant which gives us insanely inflated filesystem scores. That alone shows you that quadrant really don't mean anything.

Long story short, benchmarks don't mean crap really. as long as you know your hardware is fast, and the hardware shows you that it's more than capable, why does a number mean anything?

Also, google is working on optimizing JIT for hummingbird in 2.3 (especially since they're releasing the nexus S, but not sure if the current galaxy s series will see 2.3 official)
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I think alot of people doesn't see the potential of CM. The reason CM is praised as one of the best rom for any android handset is because once the handset gains support, it is pretty much a guarantee that your handset will keep up with the newest android software from Google. This goes way beyond 2.2, for example, just look at the G1, official support stopped at 1.6 but CM put 2.2 on the phone.

I like that. :D
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
The big attraction of CM is that it's built from AOSP, and so modders and end users don't have to deal with ripping crap out of Samsung binary releases. As it stands right now, people have to wait for whatever crap Samsung dishes out, and work backwards fixing Samsung's mistakes; in contrast, an easily buildable AOSP for the Vibrant (which is what CM represents) is a much nicer base platform to work from and build off of.

There are two huge question marks for me regarding CM: RFS and the GPS. My understanding is that the RFS issue is deeper than just a filesystem, we actually require Samsung binary drivers to access the storage at all, whether or not we're using the filesystem. And with GPS, we don't seem to have sources for a later kernel either.

What the lack of source for such key components means for an AOSP-based distribution like CM is, to me at least, unclear.
[Vibrant General] gtg465x:
CyanogenMod is also appealing because it contains TONS of cool tweaks, modifications, and additional settings that aren't available on a plain AOSP ROM, or any other ROM for that matter. You won't fully appreciate these until you get it on your phone and start digging through apps and settings.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
CyanogenMod was awesome on my G1 but after getting the vibrant, I've come to enjoy the stock samsung rom (with launcher pro), and think CyanogenMod would be a down grade personally. There might be some speed increase, but the phone is snappy as is, and the TouchWiz flavor of android has some nice features. I haven't used it since Cm6 rc2 so maybe they've added some of the TouchWiz extras.

[Vibrant General] m00nshake:
sweet! Now that made my day!!
[Vibrant General] m00nshake:
Thanks!!!

I appreciate everyone's thoughtful response to my OP. I have a better understanding of the way the benchmark scoring works, difference in processors, and the reason Cyanogenmod is taking longer for the Vibrant than it did for the G2.

Cheers =)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] peterbeer:
Posted a question a couple of weeks ago asking about getting android to work on my phone. I have since talked to a couple of people with the same problem and all of them have/ had the T mobile ROM on there phone (not the T mobile hd2 with the coloured call and hang up buttons, just a standard HD2 which originally had T mobile on it ie T-mobile boot screens web and walk etc). And suprise suprise all without any Tmobile software on there phone worked without a hitch.

I am currently runing chuckyROM WWE, radio 2.11.50.20 and multiple android builds (not on the phone at the same time ofc)

Anyway my question is, Does anyone who has/ had the T-mobile rom/ software on there phone found a working combination of custom rom, radio and android?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitestuck:
Hi all

I rooted my phone today. I then installed clockworkmod and saved a stock backup. Following that, I successfully enabled 3 button recovery.

My problem appeared either after rooting or after clockworkmod. The problem was there prior to enabling 3 button recovery. I suspect it was clockworkmod that caused the problem.

Anyway, when I connect the phone to the computer the 16gb internal sd card & 2gb phone storage appear as removable drives in 'my computer'. However, double clicking on the drives gives the message 'no disk in the drive, please insert one'. Windows can't read the usable file space, browse or even format the drives.

However, I can browse the internal sd card fine using any android file manager.

Also, I can use adb to push/pull files.

What is going on?

I need to know quite quickly what to do. I initiated a phone repair with my carrier due to the mtp crash bug, so they are expecting it to be returned pronto. If the phone is stuffed, I'll send it back. If this can be fixed, I'll keep it since I managed to get the three button recovery working.

Also, I think there's a boot rom or something to do with clockworkmod still installed? How do I get rid of that if I'm sending the phone back. I know how to unroot.

Edit: I just found an external sd card to test. I formatted it in windows by using a sd card reader, then when I plugged it into the phone and tried it as a mass storage device windows didnt like it. Putting it back into the card reader one last time and windows recognised it. Makes no sense....

Edit2: In kies mode, kies can access it. And also it adds a 'galaxy s' to my computer where the internal sd card actually works... now I'm even more confused!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
Have you tryed formatting your internal Sd or useing recovery 2e and factory resetting your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitestuck:
I've tried formatting it and reset via settings->privacy->factory reset data.

Is 3 button recovery any different to the above type of reset? What will it roll the system back to?

(The recovery image I made in rom manager will have the same problem. I dont currently have an update.zip on my sd card due to formatting it, but I can get one on there using adb if I need to.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Is your usb debugging on by chance? If so, turn it off ans reconnect the phone to the pc.

Mine does this when usb debugging is on and im on a stock eclair rom... Hope it helps...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitestuck:
That thought occurred to me too. Definately off. Ive checked it many many times now

When I first used adb, I simply pulled the plug out. I couldn't see any 'quit debug' command. There are start/kill server commands, they dont seem appropriate. Doesnt look like I should have had to do anything other than just pull the cable out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitestuck:
Update:

I think that the update.zip's applied to my phone have changed some software to an earlier version that what my unit was shipped with.

When I first got the phone, I just plugged it into the pc and selected 'mass storage' on the phone. The drives then appeared (and worked) in windows.

Now, I have to click mass storage. That on its own isnt enough. But if I pull-down the tray menu at the top of the screen, there is another option to click (something along the lines of 'select this to transfer files between your phone and pc'). If I click that, it works.

There are some slight differences still:

1) I could swear that my phone originally allowed access to the 2gb phone internal memory (I never tried reading/writing to it, but I'm convinced windows displayed a 2gb drive).

2) I used to get the "xx/13.4gb free" under the drive letter in 'my computer', which I now only get in the status bar at the bottom of windows file explorer.

QUESTION

Does everybody else have to click "mass storage mode" AND pull down the task bar and click "transfer files" to get the internal sd to work as mass storage in windows?

Or do they just have to click "mass storage mode" and that's all?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I always had to pull down the menu and manually mount the sd card when using mass storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitestuck:
Definately wasnt the case on my phone (bought mid october, so its quite new) because I got my music on there via mass storage twice before 'hacking' it. I couldn't have done that without knowing about the extra buttons to press. It's good to know that it's just a side effect of the update.zips I've applied, and that I get to keep the phone :)

Sorry not what I mean. Like the g2 was shipped with software version 1.19.531.1, and the g2 OTA is version 1.22.something.

If you have no shell access now, be it in recovery or while trying to boot, then you only chance is an official signed img or ruu FOR YOUR DEVICE. If there has not been any OTA out/applied to your phone before you got it, then it should work.

Is there one for the uk shipped ones?
