Mine is not off center. But I do have some "lift" on the upper right hand corner (next to the ffc). I can press it down with a little play. Basically it doesn't sit completely flush with the bezel. It's not super noticeable. However the other three corners are fine. Not a biggie but it is noticeable.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
heh just noticed that now that you said it, but im gonna go with saying that the NS isnt the only phone to ever have that problem, lol

Here is the ooVoo.apk for anyone intrested in trying this out.

This is a Video Chat program.

I have tryed it out. I made a video call from windows to my Vibrant with FFC. The voice works but the video does not show up on either device.

Please post if you get this to work.

I believe it is very popular with high school and college ages because ive seen my cousin and BIL use it.

This does not require to pay unless you want to use more than 1 to 1 calling.

What have I done wrong? can't seem to find the similar issues on the forum.
[Fascinate General] Computergeek737:
Have you downloaded Rom Manager? If not do that and then open the program and press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" That should fix the issue.

Porting I9000 roms onto the Vibrant isnt as easy and clear cut as it seems. Thats why Eugenes first 2.2 port was full of bugs

[Vibrant Android Development] Robert8457:
The captivate has this rom too
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Its really pointless porting a 2.2.1 rom at this point. First, its honestly not much faster. Second, we're really close to have an official 2.2, maybe even gingerbread. We'll more than likely have gingerbread before anyone actually ports a fully working, bug free 2.2.1 rom based off i9000 code. You might get a VERY minor speed increase, but of course with the trade off of having tons of bugs. Not worth it in my opinion. Speed AND stability is the way to go. Not speed and bugs.

Exactly, and the only reason I brought Ragnarok to the point I did was because I had already started it. I did, however, learn a lot in the process. And I finally figured out how to fix the dang gps - even so, it is nowhere near a daily driver - more a curiosity.
[Vibrant Android Development] _DiMoN_:
This is true, if we have a ported 2.3 there is no point of having a 2.2.1

But I had in my i9000 a 2.2 ROM version and when switched to the one of Darky (2.2.1) I could see a real change in speed. (I had before Voodoo). Anyone could notice the snappiness of the phone!

It is pity, the devices have so small differences in hardware and it is so difficult to port ROMs. If you notice the Galaxy S forum is full of custom ROMs and mods, plenty of them. Aditionally long time ago there was unofficial and then official FroYo...

Waiting....The only reason I got the Vibrant is the AWS ... (and it still needs a mod for the FFC)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yeah, I had the same curiosity 2 weeks ago. I had 2.2.1 running on my phone. For the most part it ran fine, but would randomly get tossed into a bootloop. And when I say randomly, it was extremely random. There would be times my phone would run for hours, other times it would bootloop an hour after boot, 20 minutes after boot, or immediately after boot. lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
If you read the ragnarok thread there is a possibility that the boot loops are triggered by signal strength. Still, it would require capping the strength to stop it.
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Ok so I am understanding (sorry still learning the lingo here and there), The I9000 2.2.1 is not that great but the 2.3 Gingerbread from the NS is possible to be ported to the Vibrant right?

If so then sombionix, may I suggest you dont bother your precious time with all these leaked releases (JL_x's) and only work on the 2.3 NS port. I have used a few of your roms and they are sweet, I can only imagine what it will be like with all the JIT patches in 2.3!

It's so simple. Why on Earth would you pay someone to do it?

You download the one that looks best to you from HD2 Android Development, unzip it, and put the Android folder onto your sd card.

Not inside any folders on your card, just on the card.

Then in Windows Mobile, you go to your file explorer, go into the Android folder on your sd card, tap CLRCAD (nothing will happen, thats ok just tap it each time you start Android) and then tap Haret.

It really is as simple as putting a folder onto your sd card.

Just do it yourself. If you manage to screw it up, it won't mess up your phone and somebody on this forum will take pity on you and show you where you messed up:rolleyes:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magentawave:
I started this thread because I had just discovered that I can't do the install on my mac with an emulator. I really need to do it myself just so I know how to do it so I don't have to hassle finding someone to do updates. Sooooo, I'm doing a clean install on an old Windows machine just to get this done.

Are there simple non-developer instructions anywhere on how to do this? I've had two people tell me how simple this is but the instructions on this forum don't seem that simple with terms like "flash, etc. What does the term "flash" mean?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's called that because of the type of memory. Anyway, it basically means install. "Flashing" a new radio means you're installing a different version while overwriting the existing one.

HOW TO FLASH:

Use "CustomRUU.exe" to flash the file (.nbh file extension). Phone must be connected and have >50% battery. If the CustomRUU.exe isn't included, download here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=239860&d=1256298258

Step 1 - HSPL3 must be installed.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893

The .zip attached to this must be extracted and installed. Simple enough, no?

Step 2 - Flash a new Radio ROM.

I recommend the newest one (2.15.50.14)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

Step 3 (OPTIONAL) - New Windows Mobile ROM

I put optional because Android will run without a different one, it just might not be as well. Download the "RELOADED 3" one in red. I use this one. Flash the same way.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776971

Step 4 - Download Android flavor of your choice and copy it onto your SD card. I recommend http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870518

Step 5 - Go into WM, navigate to the Android folder on the root of your SD, and click CLDCAD.exe (nothing will happen, this is normal) then click haret.exe

Step 6 - Celebrate.

Start the phone with vol down and let it flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Instead of a virtual machine (is it Parallels?) why not use BootCamp, then you have a full Windows os on your mac - and you can flash.

I'll see if I can borrow a mac again and test flashing via Parallels.

On the few times I have run Windows on a Mac (via Parallels and Bootcamp), it runs really well. It just goes to show that the main problems with Windows is that of the sloppy drivers for the hardware that the hardware manufacturors provide. Since Apple only have a couple of computers, therefore they can afford to take time to develop device drivers for Windows.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magentawave:
Just to clarify please and sorry to be asking lame questions...

1) Is this true? "The best most reliable Froyo ROM for the HD2 is the 2.2.1 Custom Nexus HD2-FRG83D V1.8 Froyo ROM. Very stable and everything works perfectly." Is that accurate?

2) Are you saying that I can do the entire install of everything on my Mac with an emulator (VMWare Fusion) as long as I do it the way you describe?

3) Are you saying that I should change the name of the nbh file to leoimg.nbh and then drop it into my SD card?

4) My HD2 came with Android on it but it runs slow and clunky and won't make calls, etc. Its basically unusable so I'm assuming it wasn't installed correctly. There is nothing on the SD card that I care about. Should I format the SD card before starting the new build? And is there anything on the Windows side that I should delete first before starting too?

Thanks again.

I would be willing to pay somebody for simple step by step clear non-nerdy instructions on how to install this stuff (Android, reformat SD card to FAT32, radio, etc., etc.) Seriously! You know, Step 1: Do this ya moron. Step 2: Now put this file named this in here idiot. Step 3: Now do this retard, etc.

Here are some more questions please...

1) What is the difference between a "sense" build and a "non-sense" build? Advantages, disadvantages?

2) When I plug the usb from my hd2 into my computer I don't see or recognize what is the SD card folder and I don't know where to install what I'm supposed to install. Here is what I see...

Removable Disk (E) > Application Data folder > HTC folder > databases folder > DocExp folder (with all this stuff in the DocExp folder: flintlock, postlist, postlist.baseB, record.baseA, termlist, termlist.baseB, iamflint, post.baseA, record, record.baseB, termlist.baseA)

...and next to the Application Data folder above there is also this: EncFiltLog.menc

and this is also in the HTC folder too...

ImageCache folder > DocExp folder (which is empty)​

Thanks again.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
OK, when you first start up your phone, and there are little red numbers and stuff down it the corner, look next to the letter 'R'

If it is X.XX.50.XXXX, then you're OK and don't need to change radio's and the process is very simple. (The X's can be any number, doesn't matter, as long as the 3rd set as shown are 50, not 51 or anything else.) So if it's 50, don't worry about the signed_ruu.nbh file or leoimg.nbh or flashing a radio. If it's not 50, you will need to change radio.

Next, when you plug the phone to your computer, the place where you find the 'Application Data' folder and the file 'EncFiltLog.menc', that is the root of your sd card. That is where the Android folder that you download and unzip will go.

So you will download the nicest looking build that you like the best, it will be in a .zip or .7z archive. You open the archive and take the 'Android' folder out and place it on your desktop. Then you drag it and drop it right next to your 'Application Data' folder. Don't put it in the 'Application Data' folder, just in the same place where that folder is at.

Removeable Disk E is your memory card, the root of the card simply means just on the card, not within any folders on the card, just on the card. That's where the Android folder goes, on the root of the card.

As far as Sense vs. No-Sense builds, Sense is maybe a little more user(noob) friendly, but it uses more of your phone's resources, so sometimes tends to lag (slow down, run slow) more than a no-sense build. For you, I would say try a Sense build first. Once you have installed one build, you will become more confident and really see how easy it is. Then you can experiment with different builds and see what is best for you.

After you have put the Android folder on the root of your sd card, alls there is left to do is to use the File Explorer on your phone to find the Android folder on your sd card, go inside that folder, first tap CLRCAD (it won't appear to do anything, but it actually enables sound in Android) (if your phone says the application is not from a trusted source,and asks do you want to continue, just click 'yes') and then tap Haret, a box will appear with a progress bar, and then Android will boot up (start).

The first time you run an Android build, it can take up to 15 minutes to start up. This is normal, just give it a while.

Then when it starts up, enter all the data it asks for (GMail, email addresses, etc. nothin major) and then when you have finished with that, and you end up at the phone's Android homescreen, hold the 'End Call' button, and choose 'reboot' and if there's no reboot option, just choose 'shut down' and then restart Android the same way as before. For some reason, rebooting after the first time like that actually helps Android to run more stable over the long term.

If you follow these instructions exactly as I have written them, you cannot fail. Now go, and enjoy Android :D

No need to pay me, just remember the 'thanks' button

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magentawave:
Huggs! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that to me.

I installed Android and added my info (email address, etc.) and then restarted it like you said to do. Of course Windows loads first and when I tap the Android icon to launch Android it says: "The file Android cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." Since

this phone had Android on it when I bought it last week

(but it didn't work properly), I'm assuming that is the old Android launcher?? I did reformat the SD card via the Windows side of the phone before I installeded Android just now. Can you or anyone please tell me how I can get Android to launch now?

Thanks again.

Steve

UPDATE: I opened the Android folder and tapped CLRCAD and then HARET again and got the same error message as I explained above when I tap the Android icon. Also, and maybe this is normal since I'm still in Windows, but when I try to open any of the other files in the same folder (like INITRD, ROOTFS, etc., I get an error message that says: "There is no application associated with XXXXX. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."

Another question please: The guy I bought this phone from was using T-Mobile but I'm going to use Simple Mobile. Does doing all the stuff I just did unlock this phone or do I still need to use an unlock code when I insert the sim card? (I will need to call Simple Mobile to activate the new Simple Mobile sim card in order to transfer my existing number over to this HD2)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Install this .cab in WinMo (install to device not sd)

Soft reset device (just fully off n then on, not factory reset)

try running Android again

Sounds like your phone just doesn't trust Haret, this should make it relax a little

let me know how it goes, it should work for ya :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magentawave:
Thank you again. :-)

1) I unzipped the .cab file you gave me and put it the phone (not the SD card) and it looks like this: _SETUP It is an xml file and will open Opera if I open it. Is it supposed to be an xml file? Before I heard back from you I reset the phone to its original factory settings to get rid of Windows stuff I don't want or need since I don't plan on using Windows. But since I did that the Android launcher icon is gone so the only way I can launch Android is to go to the Android folder and then hit CLRCAD and then HARET again. What should I do now to get the Android launcher back on the phone?

2) I bought an unlock code off of eBay (because I'll be using a different carrier than T-Mobile) but I thought I read somewhere that installing Android unlocks the phone so there is no need for the unlock code I bought. Is that true?

3) Besides the Android folder, there were two other folders that came with the Android build I installed. They are named 'GScript' and zImageStorage. Do I need to do anything with those folders?

Thanks again.

Steve
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
1. Well, when transfering a file from the computer to the phone, you're probably gonna just be able to put the file onto the storage card, since you're using a Mac, all the Mac really 'sees' is the storage card. You can use the phone's file explorer to move files to the phone's internal memory if you so desire, but storing stuff on the sd is preferable for a few reasons.

But in this case, I meant for you to transfer the .cab that I atttached to your card, then find it with File Explorer, tap it, and the phone will ask you if you want to install it to the device, or if you want to install it to the sd card. Install it to the device.

2. Nope, installing Android doesn't unlock or unbrand your phone, so you will need that unlock code. You'll have to insert a sim card from a different carrier, and then your phone will prompt you for the unlock code. As far as I know, you only get 3 attempts to enter the lock code. If you get it wrong 3 times, then you're locked out and not even a factory reset will help you. So be careful.

3. Nah you can discard those. They're more for people who want to modify/mess about with their Android systems.

Don't just stick with one build of Android. You can save your whole Android folder to your computer, try out another build, and when you put the old build back on your sd card, you've lost no data. So you can find out which build works best for you:)

Try out this here too. It really makes starting Android from Windows much more convenient. And if your sd card's big enough, you can even have several different builds on there at once
