[Vibrant Android Development] timsterzzz:
Looks nice Frank, I will give it a try later. I've been trying to find the right kernel combo to avoid the sleeping/reboot issue. Haven't flashed A11, just A13 and A14. Both of those still have an issue with any combination. Its has to be rom combination issue since it happens with stock kernels too. But I love the BLN mod, so I'm going to keep trying to find a stable combo, Hopefully you are on to something.
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
I suffered from the same problems w/ multiple rom & kernel combinations. This rom should help clear up those reboot issues, but again every vibrant likes to play different. And through eugene373's a11 kernel you can always enable BLN mod via the new cw recovery. Let me know how it works out.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
I'm going to give yours a try when I get back to class... no matter what rom I go to... Team Whiskey or Eugene.... I love them both more than the ODIN JK2 but the main issue to me is Battery... it's why I keep going back to stock because on these custom roms it just DRAINS. Hopefully this one will be better than the rest! :D

PS Love how it looks very nice with the widget and background....

How's battery life compared to other roms?
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
Thank you Frank. This is my first 2.2 ROM, I hope it goes well!

Edit: Any way to get Swype in this rom? I've tried moving it into system/app with root explorer but it gives me constant fc's. I tried with the apk from the stock froyo as well as the beta from the latest obsidian rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Matarick:
Shame zshare doesn't work well with Dolphin HD. Would swithing to desktop mode work?
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Will post an update script for you shortly. Away from the house. Any other feedback on the rom?

Edit: Just got home. Put together a quick update script for thoose who want swype. Enjoy.
[Vibrant Android Development] timsterzzz:
Frank, everything seems to be going good. No sleep issues so far. Benchmarks with anything else out there. Thanks for the swype update also, I have to have my swype. Saved me some time from manually installing it.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
Thank you for the Swype zip.

I noticed more battery drain overnight (40%) than I had with 2.1 JI6 (15%), but it was also the first night on 2.2 and I hear the battery tends to improve as you use froyo more and more. I also didn't get a chance to do any kind of power saving tweaks or setup Tasker, which I have do some power saving activities as well.

EDIT: I noticed after flashing the swype zip, on the first restart, the internal SD had some issue because apps installed on it could not be found in the app tray. I restarted and they still weren't there. I don't know if it's related to the swype zip, or if it that was just the first time I rebooted on this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
This the first non-team whiskey rom to be on my phone, and im liking it so far. Unsure about battery life yet, but everything else seems to work as it should. I like having the color icons back in settings and the blueish popup boxes.

I realize you didnt develop or engineer this, but you put the right mix of parts in it. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Please change the OP message that says this is stock Android, it is not, it is twiz, sammy's stuff. It is stock Samsung.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
Just to update from my previous post. I kept having the same app issue, so I just reflashed the full v1.1. The issue still exists. I haven't done anything other than flash, install an app ie: root explorer, reboot. When I open the app drawer, root explorer is not available. Anyone having this issue?

EDIT: Just noticed my application storage says available space is 0.00B. Apparently my partitions might be screwed up. Not sure how this happened, but I will re-Odin back to stock and upgrade from there. I'll update when that is complete.

EDIT 2: After ODIN and flashing again, the partition issue seems to be resolved.
[Vibrant Android Development] rahduke:
Nice job frank, I flashed this rom because its a pain in the ass to remove all the bloat from most froyo roms out there. Pleasantly surprised, runs lite and smooth, lagfix brought quadrant scores over 1725. Only been using it for about 2 hours but so far so good. Nice mashup, thanks for not overtheme-ing and making it look tacky.
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
The only time i've had a similar issue to this was when I was using a rom with the z4mod, and the partitions just didn't convert right. Thank you for troubleshooting for us, and its awesome that you got this working. W/ Odin i think we can pretty much put our phones through anything lol. I will update my OP with your information. Hope its nothing but smooth sailing here on out for you
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
My phone also says 0 bytes free after flashing this ROM. Also, it wiped my SD card. Not a good start.
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
This is an issue that only affects a small numbers of users, and only those not coming from a fresh odin flash

From Obsidian thread
[Vibrant Android Development] Erichhart:
Im loving the rom so far....The only drawbacks from it is the battery drain I get. Atleast every hour it drains 7 % on no use...I can't last more then 12 hours... Is it due to the kernal if so is there anything I can do.

Also, I have a FFC how would I go about adding support to the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Thanks for the help. I did fix the problem by Odin back to the Eugene JK2 (not JFD!) and then flashing this and it's working well.

Personally I blame the ROM that I was coming from (Axora) and not this one. That ROM just seemed flaky and I didn't trust it.

Thanks for putting this ROM together it seems to be just what I wanted.
[Vibrant Android Development] mjb337:
can one just wipe and flash the stand-alone v1.1kernel-update over v1.0 instead of flashing the no-wipe v1.1 full rom update?
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Yes you can use the update either way, the 1.0-1.1 update its simply an app update. Brings all the system apps to their latest version. Incremntal updates will not require a wipe. But if you want to apply the full 1.1 update & wipe, i would just recomend disabling the lag fix through the recovery lagfix menu, apply the update, then re-enable the lagfix which is optional.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
That's one thing ive not liked about tw roms. There all black and not really nice to look at. This is a nice change. I really can't wait for non beta roms either seems like every rom out there has problems. Stock ji6 is the only stable rom out there. Custom roms made phones better at one time now its beta beta beta.

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Over a charge cycle or 2 the battery seems to balance itself out and become more efficient under froyo. Not overclocking the rom also helps out.

As for the FFC support I don't have one myself but i can def. put together an update.zip for you that will install all the necessary support files. More than likely i'll have one put together for you by thursday / friday.
[Vibrant Android Development] AmaSan25:
hey anyway to get the Stock Android keyboard on this ROM? thanks..
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
Well I did something stupid... tried to switch a lagfix without doing a nandroid backup first. I wanted to try out OCLF, used the option to backup/restore, and got a whole lot of mounting errors when I tried booting. I went into recovery and removed the lag fix. When I rebooted, I did the same option to backup/restore, my installed apps are all gone and market is gone too.

Anyway, looks like I will have to start over.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
running this all day and not one problem i like this one. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Erichhart:
Sir, that would be great. As for the battery life. I didn't overclock it at all. I think its fine the way it is so I don't really why it drains so fast though.
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
I get a really rapid battery discharge as well. I'll give it a couple of cycle to see if anything changes (although it already had two cycles during the day today :(

Otherwise, it's stable and nice.

I miss the wifi calling though -- it's a great feature and it seems to help with battery life.

Thanks to the OP!
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Will post an update sometime on friday, with a kernel update for battery life improvement thanks to eugene373. Been testing out his newest kernel for stability and will update asap. Appreciate all the feedback, thanks everyone!
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
Looking forward to the kernel update! Aside from my own mistakes, this ROM is very stable and I really like the clean look.
[Vibrant Android Development] dizzy21:
Really like the rom.. Smooth and fast.. But battery life kinda sucks and had issues with signal dropping in and out. Also the biggest concern was after flashing the rom, it stated that i had no available space for adding programs... to fix that i did a factory data reset and that fixed that but not the issues with my signal. back to stock for now....

Sorry was trying to add this to another post about ading wifi calling to his rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
I've been using this rom for a few days now and feel confident that I've had enough time with it to express my opinion on it.

I really like the interface, the colors on settings buttons, the responsiveness, and a lot of the stuff that was added (and removed). The capacitive bottom buttons have been acting up a little since flashing(not as responsive, first touch on any will sometimes causes a more intense vibration which requires me to wait a second before being able to press them again) . I've had a couple of minor force closes but they seem to happen more often than other roms I've tried.

Battery life is poor. I haven't said that about any rom I've tried. I know how to recondition, and have tried multiple methods over the last few days. It's not going to get better. I've been using it very lightly.No more than 6 texts, a short phone call, and about 15 minutes using the xda app and I'm at 77% since removed from the charger an hour ago. The is my best so far with this rom. The last 3 nights I went to sleep with it at.75% and woke up to it either dead or at 20%. I had a dark wallpaper, one widget (simi clock), one gmail account syncing every few hours, and that's it. No running apps or processes that would add to the battery drain.

Like I said, I really like this rom, but I can't deal with this battery. I'll be glad to try out any of your future releases though.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
The battery problems are with the kernel so changing out the kernel would help. But I'm not sure what 2.2 kernels are best. Eugenes got a bunch.

[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Appreciate all the feedback. Just updated the rom to 1.2, it features an updated kernel w/ much better battery life. If there is an interest i can post a stock kernel version for those that want to see how that may impact battery life. The lag-fixes will also impact battery life, and so do any filesystems w/ journaling enabled (ex. ext4, jfs.).

Will be posting a detailed walkthrough for getting froyocollab running w/ the new ext 4 mod that has journaling disabled, which results in better performance at the cost of some reliability. How to disable journaling from ext4 When your following that guide, follow the instructions for "Procedure if your kernel has ro.debuggable enabled:"
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
The issues you are facing are mostly kernel related. The ulf is making great progress on the vibrant and the updated rom should help with battery issues. The capacitive button problem you are facing is more than likely kernel related as well because the kernel has support for capacitive back light notifications which may be what is interfering with the buttons responsiveness or it could possibly be an issue w/ just froyo for vibrant, it still isn't an officially released build. eugene373 has made some amazing progress with the ulf kernel for the vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
What's the recommended install method for those of us on 1.1? Is it safe to flash over 1.1 or should we ODIN to stock then flash to 1.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Its safe to upgrade to 1.2 from 1.1, and w/ the ulf kernel you wont even need to disable any lag-fixes. I would just recomend wiping data from the recovery before apply the update. Let me know how 1.2 works out for you
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Ok I got 1.2 running but the kernel was making the phone stutter so I applied eb productions stock 2.2 kernel the ji6 modem and its nice and fast again. Works great for me now. This is one of my faves frank looks like my new daily driver thanks

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
The previous 1.1 would have caused compatibility issues switching over to a stock kernel, more than likely not booted at all for some, the new kernel update in 1.2 was a much needed update to avoid corruption on mounting /system, to make it possible to switch over to other kernels / rom w/ fewer issues. I will more than likely post a similar stock kernel based version of the rom w/ ji6 modem like what you did. Please let me know how the battery life works for you. And i appreciate all the feedback, thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
sure thing. reporting back later
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
I'm uploading a new 1.2 w/ stock kernel & ji6 modem pre-bundled. Don't have my vibrant on me at the moment. Would you mind giving it a run?
[Vibrant Android Development] mahirqbl:
I can give it a run. The stock kernel (whatever the phone had on it when I bought it) gave excellent battery life (10% battery 7 hours idle). But now it's eating 10% battery in 30 minutes idle...

What is a JI6 modem and what are its benefits?
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Just uploaded the new stock_kernel rom. Please make sure you don't have any lag-fixes applied to the rom. This one should def. provide better battery life. The JI6 is the last official modem / radio for some provides stronger signals.

Edit: Power went out so i updated the post & removed the links to avoid people downloading corrupted files. Uploading right now, will be ready in about 10 mins.
[Vibrant Android Development] mahirqbl:
At the moment links are broken. Will test as soon as you get em up. I have the 1.2 ROM with ULF lag fixes applied. Should I go back to stock (I'm not sure what to do, can you give me explicit instructions please)?
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
So its almost the same process as applying the ULF.

1. Reboot in recovery

2. Select "advanced ULK features "

3. Select "Lagfix options "

4. Select "Disable lagfix"

5. Select "+++++ Go Back+++++ " until you reach the option to "reboot system"

6. When you phone finishes rebooting back up. You will be at the "configs differ. continue w/ conversion?" screen

7. Select "Yes, with factory reset without backup"

8. Your phone will apply the selected choice, and reboot.

After this, when your phone is booted up, reboot into recovery again wipe data then install froyocollab 1.2 stock_kernel. The 2 versions of the rom are pretty much performance vs battery life.

edit: i'm uploading another small update 1.2.1 to fix the bootanimation on the stock_kernel version
[Vibrant Android Development] mahirqbl:
Hey you left in both the standard android and galaxy S bootloader animations! So what results is flickering android text over the galaxy S logo! Any way I can patch this?

EDIT: Aha. I didn't read the edit lol. I can install the newest ROM then i guess (unless there's an update).
[Vibrant Android Development] mahirqbl:
EDIT: Nevermind I'm just an idiot and didn't have swype enabled!
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
I've been playing with this all morning, but am getting some weird behavior: freezing, and once it even refused to recognize my PIN upon reboot. I did factory reset several times and reflashed twice :(

I flashed over Obsidian - Stock Kernel, which I tried yesterday. But since it's sock kernel it should have been fine, right?

Is it just me?
[Vibrant Android Development] dbacchus:
I think you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you followed the OP instructions exactly: 1) Odin to JFD. And no, it's not just about 'stock' (2.2) vs. 'non-stock' kernel. You are using ROM manager flashable zip, which leaves a lot of traces, including /system, therefore "Odin back to JFD" is really a good thing to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
O.K., I flashed JFD through Odin. Then Installed v.1.2 of this ROM.

Tried to turn on WiFi and it froze.

Rebooted, turned on WiFi, tried to enter password -- and it froze :(
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
I'm not experiencing anything like this with wifi at my place. Could be your wifi setup? I'm also experiencing awesome battery life. Gonna leave it off the charger tonight to get actual hours running.

[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Havent seen or heard about any wifi issues in froyo yet. Try doing a factory reset through settings - privacy
[Vibrant Android Development] dbacchus:
Are you using ULF kernel or 'stock' one? If the former, your freezes are most likely due to undervolting (your cpu cannot handle those voltages). Try installing Stock kernel. It should work + battery life is amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
How do you guys feel about getting rid of the flashing green notification bar that appears when your on a call and viewing the home screen? Another option is that I could also change the color of it to match the blue in the battery icon.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Blue would be a nice change

Nuts!

Hey Frank, flashed your work yesterday, and everything was good until this morning. I closed "Night Clock" when I woke up, I then turned the screen off and put the phone in my pocket. When I took it out hit the power button the one deal-killer issue had happened: it had random shut down:(. No other obvious input other than plain hitting the power button to turn the screen off. This has happened on almost all of the FroYo ROMs I have installed so it's inherent to the codes you all have to work with, I assume. If you or anyone else know what this situation is and can fix it in further updates I think many folks would be very aappreciative.
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
Ive never had a random shutdown on any froyo roms so far. Have you tried to odin back to stock and flash? What about any apps/progtams you have running that may be causing the issue? Just a thought, I really wouldnt know much else to look for.

I flashed your latest update frank(with the stock kernel) and its been running great since. Battery hasnt been the best Ive ever had, but I also havent conditioned it yet, and have a few widgets running. Im at 9 hours off battery and at 75% with moderate use(though part of that it was idle while I slept, I still had it downloading a 75mb file). I dont see a huge need for the ulf right now. The very minor and rare lag I have experienced is more than acceptable, though I liked the capacitive keys bln. My vibration seems to have normalized as well.

Thanks again frank, Ill let you know if I find any other bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] dirkyboy:
Says that FroyoCollab V1.2.1 ULF_Kernel was deleted...
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
Links are being updated for the ULF version. Sorry not sure what happened. Will be up in about 5 mins.
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
This happened right after flash, I hadn't even gone into the recovery menu yet, so I believe I was using the Stock kernel.

The good news is, that after doing another factory restore, everything is working fine now - since last night, not a single freeze :)

I am keeping my fingers crossed that whatever it was, is fixed.

Thanks to all.

UPDATE:

In the middle of doing several Google searches by voice, the phone froze while closing the Google results page -- it froze in the middle of the animation.

I guess I can live with it if it happens only occasionally.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
Really nice rom, super smooth so far, GPS fix is almost instant and the phone is just flying. Is there any chance you can add the multitouch keyboard from the Droid x?

Or if anyone knows where i can get it from, i would greatly appreciate it.
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
I've noticed one thing new to me. Occasionally my signal will drop from 3g to G with four bars, but still data (other than calls) will stop working. I have to enable airplane mode for a couple of seconds and disable it for data to start functioning again. Might be an app, but I'll be odining back to stock and reflashing to see if they resolves it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Erichhart:
any news on ffc support?
[Vibrant Android Development] erail1213:
0byte installation error

okay i tried flashing my vibrant back to stock but it wouldnt boot into the stock and would be stuck with a black screen+ my internal sd wouldnt mount

i have already sent the device to Samsung for repair but it would be a helpful reference to have a way to fix those issues
[Vibrant Android Development] frank707:
There are plenty of resources here at xd, including on the intro post to this thread. You more than likely had a lag fix installed that altered your filesystem, and as a result when you odin flashed you had a non bootable system. Easy fix is odin flash to eugenes froyo that doesnt brick (fixes partition error) then odin flash to jfd with repartition enabled.
[Vibrant Android Development] MacGuy2006:
O.K., it appears I am not the only one with freezing issues. See the posts in Eugine's Kernel Depot thread about similar issues with B_Stock_1120: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844404&page=65
