[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
yeah i suspected that there needs to be a vibrant specific kernel to get buttons and volume key working properly, from what ive heard though there are working buttons on a vibrant by one of the devs so we just gotta wait for that kernel release.

wifi and gps are still (WIP), wi-fi is the next big thing supercurio is tackling, and its not easy as he suspected.

Voice and Data have been solved apparently but not in time for a v4 release. They said there are still some kinks to iron out with it though, but progress is happening pretty rapidly :D
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
Before I install it I checked if I have the 3 button combination and I had. I installed it in a few minutes and everything is running correctly.

Now I can not enter download mode at all, I even installed the Android SDK and got adb access and gave the command adb reboot download and nothing happened, it just rebooted...no download mode...

What else should I try to flash back the original kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
Can you reboot to recovery (normally or via ADB)?
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
No the button combinations do not work.

Managed to get adb access, but can not reboot to recovery.

I enter the command

"adb recovery download"

Reboots but no Download mode
[Vibrant Android Development] robavila721:
Should be "reboot download"
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
I am sorry, yes this is what I am entering:

"adb reboot download"
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Oh god no, gingerbread is no where close from being ready. Supercurio and other dev are still working to get a good based that will work with all type of galaxy s phones. It will become based for most if not all up coming gingerbread ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Does this mess with the SBL?

So is this messing with the SBL and causing people to loose 3-button entry into download and recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
Found the solution, although it had the 3-button previously working.

I had to remove the battery, plug the usb, then hold vol up and down together and plug the battery...BAM download mode! Flashed the kernel and now everything back to normal!
[Vibrant Android Development] Bato Vukovic:
I found that always works........ for now......... cheers.

[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
I am curious, what is the point of this? I mean we already have Voodoo specifically built for the vibrants and vibrant kernels, why do we need modify the I9000 kernels to work on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] jmatic:
Good question... I was wondering about the same thing too :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Because those voodoo kernels are for android 2.2 and 2.1. This is android 2.3, being ported from source code and the nexus s, which uses an ext 4 file system.

Not aimed at you specifically, but why are so many people perplexed as to why this is being posted here? It's a taste of 2.3 gingerbread , why complain if it's currently for i9000, theres a vibrant port being worked on simultaneously but it's unreleased right now. Just enjoy the sneak peek until the full port is complete.
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
Correct, this is Android 2.3 for the Galaxy S (The Vibrant being a Galaxy S phone)

This really has very little to do with VooDoo (other than the author and the use of EXT4).

So, as it's being ported from the Nexus S to Galaxy S (and thus Vibrant), there's no reason NOT to have the information here.
[Vibrant Android Development] Spacejock:
V5 is live

- Wifi semi-working (tend to crash the phone on Wifi sleep timeout)

- Calls working but no DATA for me (but coolya had data)

- kind of laggy, but there is a lot of headroom.

- GPS working only by Wifi/Triangulation networking - No satellites.
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
The latest version is rooted!!!!!!

V6

- Easy root. You only need to install Superuser app from Market.

It get better and better!
[Vibrant Android Development] tbrar:
did anybody try v6 on their vibrant as mine didnt show any network and wifi was finicky as well. I reflashed the kernel twice but that didnt help.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdeleon:
Tried v5 no network for me either
[Vibrant Android Development] Andrmgic:
data does not work. Calling does work, but the in-call speaker doesn't work, you have to enable the speakerphone to hear the call. I don't have a BT headset to test that way..

Wifi works fine for me in v6.. home button still has no mapping.

Basically, this is fun to play with.. but definitely nowhere close to being ready for anyone to actually use.

I'm using a samsung focus as my primary device, so my vibrant is free for this kind of tinkering without me being out of a phone.

Gingerbread is fast as hell, though! Can't wait for a more complete rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] xplanowestx:
Try flashing one of the Vibrant modems on top of it. That's probably your issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Hi !

Nope, it's not touching boot loaders.

But it's very important you are sure having access to 3 button reboots first.
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Ahhh that makes sense then, there wasnt anything in the OP that stated that this was 2.3 hence my curiousity.

Now that I know, I guess got one more question, does this have the JIT patches found in the NS? IE will we be seeing that huge CPU speed jump on quadrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
Gingerbread == 2.3 ;->

The other "Gingerbread" ROMs out right now for the Vibrant are just 2.2 made up to look/act/feel like 2.3, or at least do things better than 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
nevermind got it to work everything works except no sound and gps and a couple other things but otherwise its great and for some reason i dont have a recovery so i have to odin back...
[Vibrant Android Development] Grantisimo:
The aospish rom by Anderdroid had the same issue. It was fixed by getting busybox from the market and reinstalling it.

fascinate supported?

ok, before i go flashing anything else lol is this working n samsung galaxy s i500 aka fascinate? also, this is still a W.I.P correct? Im anxious for a functional and stable GB rom for my phone...just another way to tell samsung to go make sweet love to themselves :O i have noticed a lot of people saying no voice or wifi.. hope supercurio is working on this every chance he gets...might have to nominate him for most awesomest awesome dev of awesomeness ever. i've even made a trophy!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
It's still a WIP. If you check the link to the ROM, supercurio's taking a "breather" from this ROM, while the CM-devs have picked it up. They won't release anything until it's a daily driver (or close to it), and who can blame them?
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
since its a i9000 im gone have soft reboots right ?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
No...? Unless you mess up, but you have ODIN, so have no fear.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
not that is daily driver ready to listen mp3s call text and web ? or i can go ahead ?

You need to wait for 2.3. It's not an APK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeirdFishes:
TL;DR: My phone is experiencing a very similar problem to the broken internal SD after Froyo update, except on eclair and is fixed (apparently temporarily) with a factory reset. I'm on Telus, bought the phone from somebody off craigslist and have a return receipt. What should I do?

So for the second time in a few days my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000M from bell, bought on craigslist running on telus) was having problems opening an app so I restarted it. (The first time Market would force close whenever I tried to open it, the second time it was Browser). After the app force closed a few times I did a restart. The first time I restarted it (when Market froze) it went to the lock screen, with the default background (it looked like my data was all wiped). After unlocking the screen, I got a perpetual series of force close messages. This happened each time. I had to do a factory reset and lost all my settings, photos, messages and everything (No backups, of course. Facepalm). Then today I pretty much had it back to the way it was before the reset, and Browser force closes repeatedly on opening. I restart the phone again and this time it only gets to the 'S' animation then goes black/restarts after the animation stops. The capacitive buttons sometimes light up. Similar to the issues from the Froyo update I think, except I didn't update to Froyo. I can get to the 3-button recovery screen and do system reset as well which seems to not help the froyo issue, I think. It's currently working but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'm not pleased about having a phone I have to re-setup every few days. (I'm actually pretty angry...)

Anyway, I have a "Mobile Device Repair and Return Receipt" from the seller from craigslist. It's still under warranty. Anybody else experience this? Can I take it to bell and have it fixed with the documentation I have? What would you suggest I do here?
[Vibrant General] D-FUSE:
Your device may not be compatible with Market.

TO fix delete vending apk in root on phone found in system/app/

then flash back to stock

the market puts a fingerprint into the hand set or something so when you flash back to stock it's still the messed up market.

after you delete and flash back the market should update it's self you need the old vending app in the system/apps

and the new one goes into data apps

I would assume that you should put the vending apk from stock into the rom you want to flash before flashing but you might not have too. see I think it was a link that all these guys put into thses roms and over the weekend started updating it self and was new apk on new apk and messed everything up just a theory though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbr6700:
I just updated to the latest rom (3.70.651.1) on my EVO. Does anyone know if you can switch between Swype and the standard keyboard after you set it up. Tried digging thru the settings menu and I do not see any way of switching between if needed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaskispartan:
In the area that you you need yo type, press and hold and select input method. There you can choose between swype and what ever keyboard you like.

There is an app (requires root) that will automatically switch between two keyboards you prefer in portrait and landscape. I'm using it now and is awesome.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gokudre:
Ok first off thanks for your help in advance. 2cd here is my issue. i have scoured google for help. Nothing that really works. Superoneclick will not work. i simply get the "waiting for device" all the time. Other methods i have tried will not work . I have used terminal but the adb file does not have a "su" file in it. did they remove it from the android sdk?

ok here goes.... i have a mac. NOT A PC.. A MAC... i do have parallels with windows 7 ultimate edition. Running windows apps in a virtual environment is not the same.. trust me i have tried. i an looking for a step by step explanation on how to root a samsung transform on a mac. please do not point me to the "epic" forums. i tried that. even watched the video. once again.. no "su" file in the sdk. Im not a total nood but i am new to android. Please if anyone has successfully rooted there transform please list STEP BY STEP instructions. Do i unmount the sd card? uncheck usb debugging first then check later? or should it be checked from the beginning? what do i need to install.. on a mac.... or can i install the windows files to windows on the VIRTUAL machine and it work?

When i plug my phone into the mac all i get is charging.... thats it. Never tells me its plugged in .. nothing. Syncmate does not pop up. even with the sd card mounted it doesnt show up in my mac. nothing.... how do i even get the phone to show up

I am tired and have a headache searching so hard. Is it just me or has google gotten worse with time. Some of the main search returns on the first page are so irrelevant its crazy. I have windows mobile phone and dare i say it.. getting the hard spl loaded to unlock the phone is super simple. Maybe its because this phone is kinda new but still i am having alot of trouble. There has GOT to be some mac users out there that have rooted this phone........ please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if i flash a rom every two or three days.

I odin back to stock every time :P

was just wondering. Am i going to spoil it or anything ?

Or am i good to have fun :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
i do this too.

I'd say it does do wear and tear, because every 2 days, your system is like brand new... all the data it used to be personalized is gone every2 days.

but i can think of a lot more reasons why it wouldn't wear and tear.

overall, it DOES, but very little.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozmulti:
So... what happens. Does the phone go bad after 200 odins ?

400?

1000?

anything like this happen to someone ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjlangiii:
Just don't repartition when you ODIN. That has say a 1/50 chance to hard brick you. Otherwise don't worry about any wear or tear imo.

Edit: future posts seem to take serious issue with the 1/50 remark. I have no special insight. The source was just a developer telling someone they think there is a 5% chance to mess up your phone by trying to repartition (context was to inform OP if and how to flash so often and you're taking it out context if you think after 50 repetitions you will brick your phone lol. Sorry, my fault to confuse others reading the post). Hence my recommendation not to repartition unless you have to. To elaborate since people are getting their panties in a wad over it, my un qualified guess is that your concern should not be wear but rather an interruption to the repartition process and whether or not that could lead to a hard brick. Thanks to everyone who has such a positive attitude about helping people...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
Not sure what could possibly wear and/or tear. There are no moving parts in this thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Are you ****ing serious?

I've been doing re partition every Odin!! Holy ****.I'm stopping doing that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxel:
NAND and NOR memory has a limited number of read/writes. Now that amount is undetermined if you dont know the make/brand/quality of the memory. The read/write count is a very high number in most cases...

Every 2 days may be a bit excessive in the long term though... lol

Edit:

Thought about it, and for informational/"not to just take my word" here is the info. Remember a "cycle" is a gate on/off meaning any write to that gate counts as a "cycle".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

Write Endurance

The write endurance of SLC Floating Gate NOR flash is typically equal or greater than that of NAND flash, while MLC NOR & NAND Flash have similar Endurance capabilities. Example Endurance cycle ratings listed in datasheets for NAND and NOR Flash are provided.

* SLC NAND Flash is typically rated at about 100K cycles (Samsung OneNAND KFW4G16Q2M)

* MLC NAND Flash is typically rated at about 5K-10K cycles (Samsung K9G8G08U0M)

* SLC Floating Gate NOR Flash has typical Endurance rating of 100K to 1,000K cycles (Numonyx M58BW 100K; Spansion S29CD016J 1000K)

* MLC Floating Gate NOR Flash has typical Endurance rating of 100K cycles (Numonyx J3 Flash)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
LOL, are you sure? Wish someone had warned about this risk! I've repartioned before, thinking it was safe.

Why would it hard brick you?

ps...how do you know the odds are 1 in 50? lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I've always used reparation for the 100s of roms I've flashed no problem now ill stop Haha dot wanner take any chances
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
No offense, but you're all gonna stop what's been working fine for you all this time and trust a random statistic from a guy with 6 posts? If it really was even close to 1/50, or any significant chance at all, then we would gets posts every day from someone saying they bricked by doing repartition on a JFD stock ODIN.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozmulti:
A finite number of write cycles on the internal SD ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
Everything I've ever learned says don't do it.

I learned from the tw forums.

Also xda.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
In theory you are right, but the lifespan of these things is on average anywhere from 10,000 to 1,000,000 cycles depending on which type you have. I would say go ahead and flash away but don't over do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
I've always used odin to unbrick my phone. I've never read, anywhere, that repartirioning has a 1/50 chance to hard brick you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
I would think that devs flash WAY more than I do so as long as their phone is fine, who am I to worry lol. Plus ill have a new phone before I ever reach that kind of limit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmalott:
Physical wear tear? No. Its all static. Hard line limit of writes to ROM? From every previous phone I've had, yes. But that number is so high, that you would have to be flashing either for years or like 50+ times a day.

The only "wear" I would be worrying about is from dropping it or kids touching it b/c it looks like an iphone. lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxel:
Lol Good job on the moto, "discredit what you dont understand". I was on xda years ago with my old HP ipaqs. Could it be I just went idle and created a new account years later? Besides, I posted accurate data WITH references. So go pack sand.

On another note, the point was to inform/educate. The finite number is quite large, but can vary greatly depending on quality control of the memory. 1/50 chance is utter crap (that would probably be more a software error than hardware fault), my statement was one of "dont over-do it".
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
so should i re-partion or no?

I've always done it and nothings gone wrong.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] aadil7:
hi everyone

i have just recently bought this app and cant believe i had not found it any earlier!

it has the best user experience a music player could give to you

i have been scouring the web for the different equalizer settings hoping i would find one that suits me best but so far no luck!

when ever i try a equalizer its either too bassy or the treble is not right then i hear the crackling sound! (on over ear headphones)

on the stock player i fared quite well with a equalizer but when i tried copying it on the poweramp equalizer it was over empowering

i listen to alot of hip hop, r&b, uk grime, bass driven tracks

i listen for bass and lyrics so how would i go about adjusting my equalizer to meet my requirements?

what is you equalizer like?

kind regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cbdrift:
eventually you will end up turning the equaliser off and getting a good set of headphones - you might hate the concept now - but if you want clear music with bass that doesnt distort then a flat eq is "best" for that. if you want to fiddle with an equaliser - dont make it go above 0 - always start from 0 and cut the sound away to get the sound eq curve you want - adding sound by increasing an eq curve above 0 causes distortion.

look up "mixget" and the instructions on how to use it - you can add volume with this - but its unlimited - you could damage your hearing BADLY with this program - do NOT set it to full and then plug in your ears and hit play - it could damage your hearing with the volume.... (and blow up your house and rape your dog and steal your car etc etc etc etc etc) seriously - this program can cause hearing DAMAGE - it unlocks the volume limiter on the internal headphone amp and can blow your ears out of your head.... take care with this one - but when its setup.

also look up "voodoo sound" by supercurio - mixget is based off his work :)

you will end up being very happy with lots of bass on your headphones from the galaxy phone - its a very high quality sound system :)

have fun and do lots of research :)

and dont listen to mp3's :) get flac files - if you want to know why - get your favorite track as an mp3 - then get it as a flac - tell me afterwards what you think of the flac bass response compared to the mp3 response :)

i am wiping my mp3 collection and replacing it with flac as i can find the tracks :) takes up more space but its worth it :)

the best thing you can do for listening to music tho

find a quiet place with no background noise..... its amazing how much sound you miss due to the quietest background noise.

i loves my sgs and my grado headphones :D
