Easy to install 2.2 rom?

Hey guys-
I was wondering if anybody would be willing to create an easy to install froyo rom for the vibrant that could be installed through rom manager? If it's possible and someone would be willing to take on the challenge I and many other noobs out there would be much ablidged. Thanks in advance.

CM 6 is coming. For now enjoy the great job done so far

if you take a look at other threads under this forum, there has been work at porting 2.2 to this phone. Some difficulties in getting a fully functional build. I would recommend using the search function before starting a new thread, especially when posting under development, as you'll prolly get flamed pretty heavily.

I'm totally aware there's a 2.2 rom out for the vibrant already but what I'm asking for is a much easier to install version of froyo.

It does exist. It was the international Froyo leak but it is not a complete Froyo since it is missing JIT as well as other things. That leaked ROM is incomplete and is not stable for everyday use. Especially on a Vibrant, there are a lot of bugs with it and it is not recommended to be using it as the daily ROM.
It's better off waiting for 2.2 to release by Samsung or the CM team. It's just around the corner. Be patient.

They're working on it, once Eugene has it fixed, he's going to make a flashable .zip file for easy installing. He posted this in his 2.2 thread.

Exactly - there is no Froyo rom that is much easier to install than the leaked int'l one, let alone a stable one. What he's asking for doesn't exist. There's no secret, stable, froyo.zip floating around that people just aren't talking about.

I havnt seen a single rom on here that ISNT easy to install....
just waiting to see flame city for this one, similar questions have been asked time and time again... plus this isnt Q&A forum.....

Well for anyone that didn't use ODIN as there method of rooting and who doesn't want to spend more time then having to flash a basic .zip file, than there are some harder to install roms.

I'm aware nothing like that exists yet, that's why in the original post I requested someone create one, not if there is one already.

This forum has become like a kindle box just one spark turns us all in to flames. Calm down guys and remember you have something other than your E(letronic)ego to work about. Im sure you have cut infront of a car before not trying to be rude just let this pass and answer the damn question.
So far theres not an easy way to get a fully functional 2.2 however as with anything give it time and we will see it some time.

i do believe that everyone on here wants that including all the developers working on it. if we were happy with 2.1 then we would have stuck with the original os that samsung put out for the vibrant. really did you have to ask this here? or at all? its technology its always growing. give it time!

Fair enough - my bad, OP. If it was easily doable though, you can believe it would be done. I can't dev, so I wait and watch, because the guys (and gals) that can are doing whatever they can.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to create an easy to flash Gingerbread ROM for me. I thought that I could sit home on my ass while Smeone else does the work and afterwards complain about how slow the development is on Android 3.1 Horseradish......and do it all for free.
THANKS.

I know some apps are not compatible with gingerbread yet, you can see that people are updating their apps on the market for compatibility with gingerbread, if you're using app2sd you might want to try to switch the app from sd to phone, I found some apps giving FC from sd, started working when I moved to the phone.

I find this topic pointless, just to file up some crap. In 1st post, almost all doesn't work and all FCs.
Later on, it becomes certain.
Few moments from now, OP will just say, oops, I didn't read that's why it didn't work.
When you say almost all, that means many. Many is more than one. You only posted one. Therefore, it is not many nor certain number.

it really bothers me that people troll XDA constantly.... get a life.
btw, moving the apps to phone like suggested above fixes the FC problems.
thank you.

Try moving the problem apps to SD or to internal memory...
Settings - Applications - Installed Apps - Select the problem app and move it...
This solves a lot of FC problems...

i also would suggest to move the apps to the internal memory.
when i had CM7 installed on my phone the most apps got moved to the sd-card, even with the install-to-internal setting in the CM-settings.

It works!
Yes! thanks, that works, awesome. i can play angry birds again : )

thanks or all informations

[Q] How do I change provider name on lock screen.

Can anyone give me pointers on what I should use or do to change the name of my phone provider that shows up on the basic lock screen? Sprint for instance? I know certain theme-rs do this. Emotionless Beast is an example of what I'm talking about. Any thoughts?

I posted a how to. I can't link to it from my phone

Hungry for knowledge

I would like to know if there any guru's out there who have time to mentor someone wants to learn more about rom's builds, apps and any other info you would like to share.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

There are several "how to" do ...in the dev section. I would first recommend reading enough to be comfortable with both the terms and the technology. Then take a rom, theme or kernel and take it apart. piece by piece, then start trying to put it back together and see if you can. This is how I learn tech, and I think most start there. You will need some Linux understanding and or some computer language experience.
Play around for a month and after doing this every day for a month, then you will be able to ask some of the devs to help you, and they will because you will have some skills to work with........

I'm not sure if you are trying to say something, and don't know how... if you are just emphasizing your point, or if you are bumping your thread... but it makes me doubt you have the ability to heavily mod code.
Can you just ask what you want to know?

Follow this advice, Cyanogen is one of the best, I would listen to his recommendations.
to use an analogy You can't write words without knowing the alphabet, and you can't compose cogent thoughts without knowing the language. You need both skills.
Learning how to write code is the same thing. You have to start with the basics and go from there......
LikeS15274N said, if you have a specific question please state it otherwise, Get on with the Reading.............

Hey thanks alot for responding. Great analogy, I would like to know if you could help me better understand how to use odin. I can flash back to stock and have done so about 50 or 60 times trying to install custom ROMs. Everytime I try to flash bionix or voodoo the phone gets stuck in reboot loop. So if you could assist with helping me understand this process that would be great. Please keep in mind I will come back for more info as I progress. Please understand my only purpose here is to LEARN. Thanks

First things first then, you do realize that you do not use ODIN to flash Bionix, or any custom ROM correct?
In the first reply, I suggested you read the guides in my signature.. have you done this?

I am reading right now. This is alot of good info. So where and how do I identify the sd to place the zip file once its downloaded.

when you mount it to your computer you will get two SD cards. one will be your internal sd (the correct one) and the other will be your external sd card.
you can easily identify them by the size difference. I believe the internal is usually somewhere around 12 gigs. I have also renamed mine (via My Computer) to INTERNAL_SD so it actually pops up like that when I mount it.

Okay, I keep getting an error cant find sd. Now what??

are you downloading the rom from your phone? if so it's a little different
on your phone here are what the sd card paths look like
internal sd: /sdcard/
external sd: /sdcard/external_sd/

Hello,
I have read the two guides you have online. With what I have gathered I was finally able to flash my phone with bionix 1.3. This is 10x better than the stock. Now, I need to do this another ten times then move on to other tasks. Thank you for you help, I hope that you guys will be available to assist.

try this: go to settings/applications/ find wifi tether and move to sd then move to phone, try again.
If no/go uninstall the app then reinstall.
if still no/go change ROMs or see if there's an update.

Also you might want to see about updating your Superuser too. If you are using cLK, you can do this by downloading the free version of ROM Manager from the Android Market then open it and select Download ROM and then select Extras then download and install the Superuser of your choice, I use v2.3.6.1..
Or if you use MAGLDR you can go to the Android Market and download the Superuser and install it. But you can only get v2.3.6.3 on the Market, you can get v3.0 Beta with ROM Manager but ROM Manager will not work with MAGLDR.
I mention the Superuser cause it fixed a problem I was having with my WiFi tethering once before.
