ClockworkMod Recovery and Modaco's "Paul's Rom

Has anybody TRY flashing Modaco's "Paul's Rom" after ClockworkMod Recovery ? Do we have a green light to do so, or should we wait for further instructions ?
Thank you all.

I am not sure if this is safe yet since it is a different region. Wait until someone confirms though.

i don't really remember where he posted it,
but i downloaded it and am gonna try it..
i'll look and see if i can figure out where it was

This is a holding topic for discussion of ROM compatability with the Samsung Vibrant / Captivate devices (Galaxy S variants).
I don't see any major reason why ROMs wouldn't be compatible, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. I may look into picking up a Vibrant so I can test future ROM releases on it.
Anyone have anything to add?

Seems kinda like the one from MS_guru.. except a little more stable
i haven't been getting all the random reboots that are on ms_gurus, it still is buggy when you plug it into the computer (goes to the MTP Application.. ugh), wifi is working well (except rom manager still won't let me flash recovery through there because it says the wifi isn't stable enough or something), its pretty fast but i'd rather a stock rom than this
i noticed on that page i linked you guys to that they had a link for a download to a stockrom2.1.zip.. i'm going to test that one out as well

I am at work waiting for the word that its a go cause this stock build is killing me! Keep us posted!

one of the links provided has a thread where someone flashed this on a Vibrant and it stuck on boot.
Looks like Ryanolson7 has already gotten past that issue.. should work but I too will wait to hear
Made a backup in the mean while using nandroid and bought the premium version of Rom Manager to support Koush.

If you have Recovery installed "update.zip" you don't have keep going back to rom manager and worry about "wi-fi" issues any more because is already installed in your system, just download quick boot from the market, allow su permision, reboot in recovery click reinstall packages and in 1 second you there...

The stock rom on that site is MS_gurus, not the real tmobile stock

well that was a .zip of pauls rom that was themed as stock android.. i got the other one to boot called 'GalaxysDeodexed'.. still isn't stock quality though
do you guys know if we can flash his nandroid to our phones so we can have stock? if so, rsface, you should upload your nandroid somewhere and link us to it.. if you're willing to.. because the 'stock' roms out there are crap.. not even close to stock.

[Q] got new vibrant update worked fine, should i?

Ok, after the last tmo/samsung update bricked my vibrant i got my replacement left it stock and let it update. it worked fine. Question is, should I root, incase they send another update i cannot refuse and it bricks my phone again. It's just that the lag fix makes it twice as fast. But i don't like bricked phones.

Click the link in my signature. That thread took a LOT of work, but it should have eveything you need to know. If it does not, let me know what I can do to make it better.

s15274n said everything I had to say... the both times he posted.
It's easy once you read and understand. And i'm almost certain you could've fixed your last 'bricked' phone if you searched.

I searched. the first was a soft brick sticking at vibrant logo. I fixed it, but I didn't have a stock backup i flashed, it was a "stock rom" i found on here somewhere. But when it bricked the second time it wouldn't power up, no battery on screen when charging, nothing. But, I will give it a go this way and see what happens, I have 2 now, so eh. It's fun, but I am jsut getting into it. like I flashed it with one of the froyo roms, but the sound wouldn't work for nothing, i searched and no one else using that rom had that problem that i could find. So i know there was something i didn't do. I just wanna makesure i can get it back to stock if i need to.

don't forget to check if your phone is hardware locked.

Wish I had got bricked good. Got the replacement and its not hardware locked so flash away

Ok, so I did all that you mentioned seemed to work fine, but this fusion rom doesn't seem like much. now don't flame yet, i am just talkin. but it doesn't look like it changed much other than add launcher pro and as for lag. it's not as slow as stock but with ryans lag fix my quadrant score was 2550 and i'm getting 950 on this. although i have to say the gps snapped to lock. that was great.i really like the froyo rom i flashed before if i could have figured our how come my sound wasn't working and everyone else did not have that issue.

There are a few options available on TeamWhiskey website:
1. Fusion with stock kernel
2. Fusion with JAC kernel
3. Fusion with KK kernel
All of the above do not include any lagfixes, except a manual invocation via ADB for RyanZA's equivalent, a.k.a mount /data on a virtual EXT2 partition.
Optionally you can load Voodoo EXT4 based lagfix on non stock kernel options.
Another project is underway with TW own overclocked kernel and z4mod.
And as far as not much, compare the system resource utilization on stock Vibrant and on Vibrant with Fusion (with stock kernel option) - the guys over at TW have squeezed as much as possible out of TouchWiz to make the phone snappier, and as an added bonus they have removed most of the bloatware for you as well leaving the Media Hub for those who might wanna use it.

I just flashed to Nero V5 and i have some questions

After about two weeks i finally got the custom rom Nero V5 running on my Vibrant.
Now my question is how can i make it even better? Ive restored all my apps and data. Contacts are all back but i feel like some things are missing. Ive been told that things like Ka7, voodoo and cpu tuner are supposed to make my battery even better but i cant seem to find where or what these things are.
Can anyone shed some light on this subject in some way and maybe explain to me where i can get these things. Links or tutorials will help!

Voodoo is enabled already in Nero V5, you don't have to do anything. You can install the KA7 modem on top of NeroV5, it does improve battery and wifi/gps imo. I haven't used cpu tuner, so no comment. Here is the link to the KA7 modem forum page:

I know you just spent a bunch of time getting Nero v5 running, and you've probably seen this already, but Team Whiskey just released Bionix-5. Check it out if you haven't:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548

I also flashed Nero V5 last night and im still testing it. I cant seem to restore market links for the apps that I restored through Titanium Backup. I tried market doctor and delvik cache but nothing worked.

I flashed KA7 but not Nero, What exactly does Nero do and replace when you flash it. Ive been wanting to do this for a while just alittle confused. How do you go about flashing it?

Download nero v 5, put it on ur internal sd card, reboot into clockworkmod recovery via rom manager and install pacakages via sd card selecting the file u put on ur sd card. Make sure u disable voodoo and any other lag fix unless ur coming from nero v3 or 4. U should also read noob guide on rooting and flashing for step by step instructions.
If you are coming from nero v 3 or 4.1, you don't need to disable

Actually now that you've got nero working. May want to look at the new team whiskey rom that posted this morning. Bionix V it is based on the official 2.2 update and ka7 modem and files.

I wish you people would figure out that internal memory is NOT an internal sd card......it's internal memory.
In no way is it a SD CARD.

hey ayman07,
yes mod does now.
Thanks

I'm current using the overcome ROM, because its the only one with a circle battery. And you can install it with clockworkmod ^^ thats more comfortable
It s realy fast and smoth to. Ext4 is a total perfomance boost!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

hey evil sadness thats really good to know that there is another ROM which i can try. But really i have no idea how to do clockworkmode or ext4. I wish i could have know.

Sorry if this has been covered in some other thread, but there are about a million individual posts to read. So. .
I use linux and Heimdal to do all my flashing.
If I have an ext4 ROM installed, currently MoDaCo, and happy with it, but if i want to install a non-ext4 ROM, like this razor fast ROTO-JMI build you mention,( or one of my Roto-backupsfor that matter), can I just do the usual install procedure or do I need to reformat somehow?
Ps I'd ask in the developer forum but can't as i don't have 10 posts. .
Pps. I'd attempt it, but don't know if this would somehow brick something

You need to repartition with the correct PIT file for your device/ROM combination to rebuild the file systems in order to use an RFS ROM.

I really liked JMI, but I can't live without Exchange Calendar support(No Calendars will show up in the Calendar App, even though they show a synced) which is broken in every JM build I have tested so far. The only other bug I encountered is that all Flashlight utilities will only turn the LED on for a few seconds before it turns off.

yeah i loved JMI too

Yeah i like both roto-jmi and modaco-custom with ext4 conversion (really fast). However, when i flashed either i lost my default chinese input. Does anyone know how to reinstall that? Is it the samsungIME.apk? Or another package perhaps?

Run i9000 rom on Vibrant!!! This is real :)

Thanks to Eugene, it is now possible for us to run i9000 roms on our phone. I don't think it needs to be said but... This is FREAKING AMAZING!!! Check out Eugene's latest Dead Horse kernal for further details. I can't believe I'm saying this but... I think I'll be making my first donation.
Thanks Eugene

I know it's pretty cool, as soon as I saw it posted I went and flashed darky's rom, and its probably the fastest I've used so far (i haven't even enabled a lag fix yet)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Not intending to flame,
But what i9000 rom is worthwhile? Or highly recommendable?
It seems like Bionix 1.3 covers most of what makes Darky's so special.
339mb Ram used to be the 'selling point' for me, but that's also covered now
(Unless I'm missing something...their OP is so damn long =p )
Axura and EDT seems to cover all the other bases for look & feel etc.

I think you and I are going to get along here
I too would like to be sold on the idea of using a rom built for a "different" phone to run on the vib. It's pretty cool that Eugene got his kernel to become a universal but all the possible bugs that could come with using an i9000 rom just doesn't seem worth it.

Darkys rom is very fast, no offense to TW or EDT but their roms as of yet are not in the same league as Darky's. Don't get me wrong, I've used the latest bionix and it is quite good and TW and EDT have contributed so much to the vibrant community.

Any bugs on darkyy s rom?

Wouldn't the softkeys be messed up using a i9000 rom on our phone?

Want to see more comments before trying those

Darky's ROM now works on our Vibrant perfectly. Just flashed.
If DarkyROM app from the market works for you (Doesn't give you an error when it boots into recovery):
-Select No Kernel
-No Modem
If DarkyROM App from market give you an error on flash, use the following instructions.
What you have to do is:
-Install the Darky ROM from Clockwork as you would any other ROM
-Without restarting Clockwork, install Dead Horse Universal 2.2/2.2.1 kernel from Eugene
-Without restarting Clockwork, install any Vibrant-specific 2.2 modem. I used KA7.
-Have the FIX signal reboot fix file copied somwhere on your phone from Eugene (found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971709)
-Reboot the phone and boot into Darky's ROM (it will take a WHILE to boot)
-Once its booted, quickly activate flight mode so that it doesn't start restarting. Then use Root Explorer/ADB/other method to apply the signal restart fix from Eugene that you copied to your phone 2 steps above.
-Wait 10 minutes after this is done, then restart the phone.
-At this point, you can apply any themes you want from the I9000 section (they will all work and there are a lot).
-Enjoy.

This is great,
But the real thing now is the Vibrant and other Galaxy phones hove been so researched and hacked so much we have the Luxury of having Awesome roms of our choice. I used to be a big Darky fan, but like others have said, Axura, EDT and TW all have gotten so close to the Mark it really is hard to distinguish which is preferable.
I do think once CM7 is Flashable without bugs, it will be the leader.... by how much??? probably not much but that community does awesome work and does provide long term support.
But Yes this is great to have another option.........

@}{Alienz}{
think you need to change that second kernel flash to a modem flash...
great instructions btw, thanks.

Pretty awesome having 2 dev sections to choose ROMs from. Amazing what source code and a little time brings.

Yeah this is awesome!! And we'll be able to flash the vibrant 4g's roms, so we have tuns of choices
I just commented on the Darkyy's rom thread so ask him about the receiving call issue, my phone doesn't ring at all, but it doesn't go straight to voicemail either, so I wonder what the issue is.
Ps: I flashed Darkyy's rom, and now I'm on Jumes rom, and it's awesome!

That's weird.. I receive calls just fine on Darky.
Also... I must say I never trusted everyone saying that 2.2.1 is noticeably faster even without a lagfix but I stand corrected. In the short time I've been running Darky the speed increase is quite obvious.
EDIT: boooo I just noticed GPS doesnt work.. Seems to be working for the i9000 people. Wonder what the deal is. -_-

Hopefully someone figures out why we can't receive calls ob darkys rom

Same thing happened to me. I flashed Simply Galaxy SweetHoney (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950354) and everything is working fine so far.

I am also getting the bug when an incoming call is present. I'll see if I find a fix. If not, what ROM would you recommend that's just as good? Saw the sweethoney. Any other options that may work?

I just flashed Juwe's Smart Edition v1.1. Restoring data right now... If GPS works it'll prolly be a winner.
EDIT: Nope.. no GPS on this ROM either. Is anyone experiencing functional GPS on any of these ROMs?
