GPS Fixed for root? Possible fix link... - Vibrant General

Found this on twitter:
Supposed fix for rooted users.
Any brave soul want to demo the **** out of this and report back with screenshots or video?
Edit: Nuts, looks like I missed the duplicate thread. Sorries.

Anyone?

This may be essentially the same "fix" as others have been recommending for weeks (enabling aGPS through high-level configuration settings) except packaged into a root ROM to make the config changes by different means. Follow the links in this comment on a dev thread.

I agree instead of undercutting another chef, why don't you try something new? Just a suggestion.

I didn't undercut anybody. I spoke directly to Hector and obtained his permission to post this up before posting it.
On a side note, I felt my post would be easier for other's to read and use, since Hector had only posted a paragraph and a link to zenulator's original Hero ROM thread. He's, since then, copied info from zenulator's post and fixed his post up.

No worries, Spencer. I can understand how it could seem like I was overstepping my boundries on this one.

Is there any way you can get rid of the background image on the icons? To be honest they look like the xPhone and takes away from the Sense UI, which is crisp and clean.
when uploading roms, i suggest using multiupload..
rs gives users a maximum of 10 downloads before killing the link..
just a fyi

I'm a rapidshare premium member, so there shouldn't be a 10 download limit on my links, but thank you for the heads up
wi-fi not working.
WOW. This looks mighty nice. I wish I wasnt on vacation still and could flash to this. Nice work mang!
Nice looking rom. Not as functional as I need it to be to take it's place of my everyday rom, but it's still nice to look at.

Just tried your Rev2 and I like it! It's quick and I haven't found a problem yet. Will bt it to my car radio on the way home. The icons are different than I am used to but they are growing on me...sort of Ipod Touchish. Good job!
It appears as though your extra downloads aren't signed...at least that is the message I got when I tried to flash.

Links on new Site

Ok Alldroid apparently self imploded and it ended up restarting from the ground up, so in the process they "lost" all their data with Rom's and what not. While helping a friend with his Moto Droid I took the opportunity to spread The Developers work to more users and started a post with all props and links to XDA for info and dl links to Roms currently here.
I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I made an assumption that with props and linking to your work directly would be ok.
Let me know if you don't want it up on the site or if I missed someone that was contributing.
I did the stupid poll before there was an 11th Rom and I can't delete it or add any more. Sorry I am not choosing favorites. Currently working on removing it.
Just trying to spread the wealth.

Master Root Eris Program
I don't mind if you repost mine. At least you asked, my ROM is posted on many sites right now, none with my permission.. not that it really matters, but courtesy goes a long way
ZenEXP-Eris Rev7 is launching soon, please update your link appropriately when the time comes.
-mak
thanks for leaving mine out of the poll . It's cool to spread the word though. Thanks man!
Won't lie I was really freaking out that I was going to get flamed for this...Just wanted to do my part and spread the Rom joy. Plus I got the poll off hope remaking a thread didn't kill the link but will fix if so.
thanks for linking to mine and jamezelles Eris Master App program. I dont mind if someone posts it in other places, as long as they ask in some form, or link to the main thread they got it from, with credit.
I can't build so I will do what I can for the Rootnation.
All links have been updated and all props and links are changed accordingly if anyone hasn't been mentioned let me know and I will fix it.

[ORGANIZE] Issues table and rom relevance.

Hi guys,
I think with all these roms coming out, with all these kernels and all the bugs it is time we had a table showing all us the whole picture.
The table should have a first column with all the roms found here and the remaining columns should include the characteristics (ap2sd, ext4, gingerbread, mplah, mplah) and the last columns should show the most important bugs and if they are fixed.. mac address, camera, 720p playback, wakeup lag, mplah, mplah...
If the first column entries (the rom title) are clickable then we can be redirected to the thread of the rom.
This thread could also serve as a poll to the best roms.
Cheers,
F
Sounds like a great idea but also a ton of work and it will need to be constantly updated. If you are willing to make and maintain this I'm sure everyone would be thankful.

All information is freely available, and it is a simple concept to implement.
The only thing that stopped me posting this exact table when the NAND roms first came out is the level of commitment needed to continually update the table with new releases, bug fixes, bug discoveries, version updates..... etc. etc. etc. etc.
Oh yeah, and the fact that THIS exists
::EDIT::
Just seen THIS. Strange how you posted on the day this was started. Typical eh? Post in there and ask if more details can be added by the [OP]

[VIDEO] Samsung Vibrant Video How-To Thread

All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.
Did you just buy a new camera or something? Well thanks i guess its time consuming...
Dont get too happy with the camera and start making pornos though.

Thanks for your informative videos. I am a visual learner so things just are much easier for me if I see someone doing step by step. I tried to PM you but that is not working right now I got an error message. I wanted to know your eBay username so I can purchase the Samsung Galaxy S USB Jig from you and get the positive feedback as a bonus. My username is the same as here.
Does unrooting reinstall the factory 2.2 settings?
What's up? I'm new to the sight, and all the wonderful things you can do with a rooted vibrant.
Can anyone tell me if you have a factory 2.2 vibrant and you root it, can you unroot it and send back to t-mobile for warranty purposes. Thanks!
Can this thread be made sticky? Wonderful work, Thanks OP!

The Official Thunderbolt ROMs and Kernels Listing (DEAD)

Thank you very much everyone for all your support. This iteration of the listings is now dead as I'm moving onto Version 2 which will continue the evolution of the listings. I hope you all continue to help give ideas, suggestions, and what not to the new version much like you have with this one.
The new version is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930
See you all there.
Mods.... you can close this now.
Nice compilation. The only reason I am not complaining about a "repost" is because you provide much more detail than the current sticky
I think this is useful. It would also be nice to include MD5 sum of the files for those who wish to verify before flashing. This may require a lot of effort to maintain though.
*EDIT* and at this point all of the ROMs are based off of sense, but once the RIL issues are sorted out and AOSP ROMs start dropping then it would also be nice to have a line for each ROM stating if it is Sense-based or AOSP-based.

Certainly once AOSP ROMs rather if they are Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream, Honeycomb, Chocolate Cake, Sherbet, Fudgecicle, Peanut Brittle, Oreo Blizzard, Sundae, or heaven forbid... Apple Pie... then I will update the listing to reflect that.
Great post OP! The only thing I have to add is Virus ROM 3-1 version (nonsense). I believe it's the same as 3 but with all sense elements removed.

Thank you very much everyone for your kind words. I certainly plan on keep this updated as well. I might not update it right away whenever a new ROM/kernel comes out but it will be done. As far as this thread getting a sticky I'll leave that up to the mods/admins here if they want to do that or not. I'd love for it to happen but in the end (sadly) its not my call.
