[Vibrant General] TheAggression:
When I first got this phone I was happy initially but wasn't all that satisfied with its bugs, lag and wack GPS. I don't know exactly what bugs you may have encountered but mine on 2.1 went as follows

- Some live wallpapers caused my phone to crash and reboot if I tried to set it. One of them (Pano-planet) always forced closed on me

- I couldn't play Fruit Ninja's and Flick Kick Field Goal because half the time I tried to, it would crash my phone.

- Ever since the update to make the google maps have that 3d came out, every single time I launched the app it would crash my phone.

- Lag, Lag and more lag

- My gallery app when launched always crashed on me

- When on the phone and I'd get another call on the other line, my screen would stay black for like 5-7 sec before it showed me who was trying to call me

- Battery life sucked.

Despite all of these issues, I got used to them and patiently waited for the Froyo update. Finally it came out and from what I've read, its a total mixed bag. A lot of people on hear said it wasn't worth it. So I personally was disappointed and didnt want to get the official update, afraid it may make my phone worse. Until I found out about custom roms. I'm a total noob but did research on custom roms and long story short flashed my phone to the Bionix-V by teamwhiskey. I should've done this a loooooooooooooong time ago. Not only is every bug that I mentioned fixed, but something that I thought was a hardware issue apparently isn't. The GPS on my phone is the best its ever been since I got the Vibrant. And the battery life on this phone is beautiful.

For the first time since I've had the phone, it functions and runs the way I expected it to run when I got it. I was thinking about getting another phone that I thought would be supported better but changed my mind cuz my work runs so well now. It functions so well, that I'm afraid to try out other roms because I don't want to mess up things. Which brings me to my next point.....SAMSUNG!! Its soooooooooooo sad that they have a line of phones that are capable of running so well get backed up/supported or lack thereof with TERRIBLE software. Thats like Sony backing and putting ps2 like quality games out on the ps3....makes no sense.

Anyway for those of you who are still running 2.1 software and are on the fence about which way to go (official or custom), take it from a noob like myself, who a week ago didn't know nothing about flashing a phone and custom this and that. FLASH FLASH FLASH....SCREW THE OFFICIAL UPDATE. ONCE YOU FLASH YOU WON'T GO BACK.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
same here, once I got fed up with the waiting and the bugs, I rooted, then eventually popped a custom ROM on my phone and it has been great seeing how well the phone can work with proper software
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
I love the developers here. It's amazing what they can do, especially considering samsung doesn't really seem to care.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Dont u just love the porn on super amoled screen? Isnt it like their right there?!?

Jk

Yeah its a great phone
[Vibrant General] TheAggression:
It really is a great phone once the right software is pushing it.
[Vibrant General] TheAggression:
Thanks again xriderx66, your review on the roms helped a great deal
[Vibrant General] oka1:
This is a great phone and when the Vibrant 4G comes out we will be able to kite off what we need from them to make this phone even better
[Vibrant General] zer0nine:
I just switched from an at&t x10 to the vibrant. Couldn't be more happier, i'm in love with this device!
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Was hesitant to root for a while. Had a rooted G1 and loved it but I figured I would just let this one pan out. The T-Mobile OTA bricked my phone... So after learning how to use ODIN I decided to root it and see what I could get going on this and wow what a difference it has been. Still on Nero V3 and my phone runs smooth as butter. Amazing development community around here.
[Vibrant General] dorbanz3:
i'm new to this phone and someone recomend me to buy it. this rly is a surprise for me all this android stuff and the devs here are rly cool. i love my vibrant phone, won't change it even for an apple 4.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Ever since upgrading to stock 2.2 this phone has been the epitome of unreliable. It's like a pretty bad winmo phone running an android skin. Have to soft reset it (hole power down) like 5 times a day because the screen doesn't turn on. Pretty bad because you can think the phone is fine when you're really missing phone calls emails and notifications. Have tried factory reset switch batteries etc. Nothing works. It worked fine before the update but right now this phone is utterly unreliable and robust is not a term to describe it...
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
LOL yes it's great to have Adobe Flash 10.1 too! xD xD xD
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
This is true. When the 2.2 official update came out I reverted back to stock so that I could update and see how well Samsung did. When I did, I saw the horrible ****tiness everywhere... slow and unstable... only had it running for 10 minutes before I just went back to custom software :D

It surprises me how Samsung ****ed up the official Froyo update when all the leaks we've been getting for our ROMs have been stable and acceptably fast.

Right now I'm using Bionix-v 1.2 and Dragon kernel 3.2 (a well optimized Voodoo-supported kernel that allows a maximum overclock of 1.4 Ghz and many more improvements!!)
[Vibrant General] jaetm83:
im using bionix-v 1.2 by team whiskey myself and can't wait for stable froyo 2.2.1. im especially excited for voodoo sound that will bring our phones the highest quality sound output through headphones (thanks supercurio) and will soon be available to us without sacrificing battery life. i truly appreciate all the efforts devs here put into all these things.

anyone who hasn't been around here for long, please think twice before asking questions in dev threads.. i started flashing just about a month ago, flashed a number of kernels, roms, modems, custom frameworks, etc., and never had to ask a single question and never had any troubles just by researching, reading op and following instructions prior to flashing anything to get a sense of whatever i was doing. i understand a noob doesn't mean to be a noob. but seriously if you try, you can avoid getting problems unless there really is a bug. good questions encourage devs for sure, but a majority of noob questions don't and make serious devs leave us. i just really hope the devs who are working day and night trying to bring us good stuff without any rewards stick around and continue to produce quality creations as we've seen so far as long as my vibrant is still working and usable.. im so thankful.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Honestly it didn't surprise me one bit. Samsung probably made an exceptionally buggy release on purpose, part of their way of trying to shut people up and convince us that they weren't ready. I gave up on samsung support a long time ago and probably wont get another phone until the N2 comes out (I'm through with manufacturer support).

I switched to custom roms after 1 month of having this phone and i have to say i absolutely love it. I personally favor Master's roms. But all in all the devs here are absolutely amazing. They allow this phone to reach its potential in ways samsung never did. I'm excited to see what comes out of Eugene's source kernel.

Thank god for all the devs who do all this stuff for free.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Samsung software engineers dont know what they are doing. Period.
[Vibrant General] Kyoteey:
it is a good phone...the Bionix upgrade definitely made my phone run better but it gives me some slight problems on the vibrant that i have to work out
[Vibrant General] laziboix:
I had a Behold 2 and upgraded to the vibrant a month ago. I told my sister she have 10 minutes to play with the stock rom before I dismantle the POS rom and rooted it. 10 MINUTES guys!! that's how long the stock rom lived on my phone. i never even consider running stock.. currently running Eugene froyo 2.2 final r2 build with gingerbread theme.

I had a battery life hiccup for a bit. The A2SD caused the sd card mount to get hot and burns battery life. So i took all apps off SD and into internal storage and i'm now back to 24+ hours battery life.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
It's funny because I said the same thing when I came from G1. "This time i'm gonna wait before I root". I ended up rooting it 3 hours later. Lol.

And yes as much as we ***** and complain about this phone, it's still a wonderful device. It's still 2nd best in terms of raw CPU/GPU power, with the best now being dual core tegras.
[LG Optimus 2x] springwill:
Can it play 1080p rmvb with rockplayer or other player?
[LG Optimus 2x] dave79:
I've tried a few 1080p trailers etc. and Rockplayer seems to have serious issues when it comes to 1080p playback of any sort, very laggy etc. I've had mixed results with the inbuilt player. Som 1080p material just flows, and it shows true 1080p through the HDMI cable. But some trailers had some lags. It varies a lot. I got two pre release samples and I can totally see that the issue is definitely with premature software or software which can't quite yet use the full power of the Nvidia dual core architecture...

But man am I impressed when it works!

I did NOT create this theme and take no credit for it. I only ported it to work with DL30.

The original thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845748

I had to change icons in the pull-down menu as you will see. I stole theme from ThatDudeButch's SuperDark Theme and put my own twist on it.

Thanks again to Nitsuj17 and ThatDudeButch and everyone else on IRC for helping me in my endeavours.

Feel free to let me know if there are any problems or suggestions that you may have.

This version does NOT have any themed apps; i.e. browser, market, etc.

If i flash this theme is there a way to get the puzzle lock screen on it? Im just a fan thats all. Also are the icons in the settings menu colorful like stock or are they grayed out? Thanks

I went ahead and flashed this theme and love everything about it but i do want the puzzla lock so if anyone knows how to do it id appreciate some instructions. Thanks. And is there a way to remove the clock in status bar?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
Is it just my phone or does the 3g ickn turn white when internet is idle?

And a suggestion might be to add the option to remove the clock onstatus bar and have the option to put the puzzle lock back on :-)).
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] cfost88:
What color would you like the 3G icon to be when it is dormant? It is set to turn white when dormant and grey when connected.

I will add another option for clock removal and work on putting the puzzle back on for you. Will update OP when done. Shouldnt be long.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
Man your the best. I just assume the 3g icon stay the same when dormant as when active. Is that possible
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] cfost88:
I changed it to where it stays gray when dormant and does not turn white.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
Wow that was fast flashing right now thanks

This evening I see a new radio.com Android app announced (it wasn't there earlier today). Again there is the stupid no-Android-phone limitation in the Android Market.

Thank you for grabbing this for me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to snag this radio.com apk file for me. But now I'm sorry if I wasted your time. The app loads quickly and displays the lists of stations. but will not play any stream. Whatever station I try -- e.g., KRLD-1080 Dallas or KYW-1060 Phila -- the station logo displays and the gTablet grays out the screen, "buffering" with a whirly graphic. The audio never plays. In Settings I turned on Mock Settings and restarted the unit. No go.

At least the stations play when dialed up in the Web browser, but if you leave the specific browser window the audio stream stops. There is no sharing multiple browser windows.

Again, I appreciate your time and effort. Perhaps Android phone users can make use of the app. I just don't get it. These Android tablets have been out for 6 or 8 months, apparently selling reasonably well, and the apps won't load or run on anything but cell phones.

Have you tried TuneIn Radio? It works great and it's free. You can download it at freewarelovers.com.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] trscons:
Thanks for the tip on Tunein Radio. I use iheartradio and Pandora on my Blackberry Tour from time to time, but I'll take a look at this app for the gTablet. The radio.com was interesting to me in that it provides access to many of the 24/7 all-news AM broadcasters around the country. In our situation, when away from home, we can listen to New York and Philadelphia news. And... these past few days... I find it amusing to listen to KRLD-1080 with the wailing and cries of pain on the weather in Arlington, Texas. Poor babies. Heck, here in the Pine Barrens of NJ, we've had significant snow cover since the days before Christmas (and today with it finally at 44F I managed to chip off a 1" layer of ice on the part of the driveway).

Tom
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] trscons:
Blackbird, that TuneIn Radio app is great. Thanks! Audio streams begin immediately, and there are a ton (or two or three) of stations in the inventory, including the all-news stations I like. There is one station that I listen to that is listed as not streaming: WNAR-AM-1620 is a 24/7 old-time radio low-power broadcaster that actually does stream audio at http://wnar-am.com/. Gotta listen to The Shadow Sat and Sun evenings at 10 Eastern :-) ... but I use an app on the PC to automatically record the shows I like whether I'm around or not. This TuneIn app was a great recommendation for me. Thanks again.

Tom
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] trscons:
asdr, thanks for the reply. Actually I think the next question has be to answered by Viewsonic. Will these gTablets be upgraded to Android 3.0 Honeycomb? From what I read and in talking with a knowledgeable friend I get the impression the end user features are more gingerbread than substance and the hardware requirements don't appear to be all that different if at all. My perception is the underlying code will offer programmers and developers significantly more and better options to make their applications fly. But then I stopped programming with dBASE a long time ago and my skill set is sorely lacking, so what do I know?

TuneIn radio

I discovered TuneIn a few weeks ago after reading about it via another post. I had used IHeartRadio on my phone but could not get it to play on my GTab. Without the XDA development and this forum I may have been an ICrap victim.

With more and more radio stations streaming using flash players you could search out sites such as radio-locator.com and try out those listed there. Found it most entertaining in the past!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
OK. My HTC was bought on launch day. Until now, no issues.

Tonight it fell and screen cracked. I went to the local Sprint store to see about getting it fixed and they informed me that since I have insurance, it's free. They changed the policy about screens cracking because SO many of them have. They refered me to the corporate store across town though as they were out of the Novatech screens at my local store. This was the store manager who helped me and I made sure to ask again, your sure it's free? He said yep, sure is. Just go to the corp store tomorrow, they have TONS of the Novatech screens in-stock ready to install.

OK GOOD!

Now my question is this...

My phone is rooted with Fresh Rom and since its cracked, I have no way to "flash" anything else. Do I need to have any concern when they start playing with my phone? After they replace the screen, the first thing they are going to see when they "boot it up" is the Fresh Rom boot screen. :o
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mekeke:
You should be concerned because rooting voids your warranty. And why can't you flash a rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
They are replacing it under TEP insurance (which rooting does not effect). I had mine done, and my phone was rooted and i have the black bootup splash screen. If you can nandroid and flash a stock rom do it...if not f-it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex800:
I have a similar issue. My brother got a new EVO about 2 weeks ago. A week ago I rooted his EVO and installed MYNs rom. Today he got into very serious accident. Work truck rollover. He is OK but EVO did not survive. The screen is busted. He has insurance on his phone but now I have concerns since I cannot un-root without the screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
Can you boot into hboot? If so, go over to the dev forum and look for the "how to unroot in 2 steps" thread. Then you will be unrooted and have nothing to worry about.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex800:
I did not see the phone my self but he said the screen is busted. Assuming I cannot see hboot I won’t be able to un-root. Correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
You can without seeing it. As long as the phone can boot up. Its just a whole lot harder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
I could care less about the actual warranty. I've never had any issues with the phone and I'm sure by the time I do, the warranty will be long over.

If the insurance covers it, f-it...

I can't see anything on the screen so I don't know where I'm at or what I'm looking at.
