[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.

Root
Clockwork
Backup
Flash Fusion

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.

[ROM]CyanogenMod (CM6.1-GalaxyS-B20101120A-Captivate)

First off, this is VERY early beta, nightly build test stuff...
There are many bugs, gps doesn't work.
Thanks to Cyanogen and team.
Thanks to Aery for the compiled build.
Thanks to glitterballs for the kernel.
I take not credit for this, except putting it together in a single flashable zip for you guys.
If you don't know what CyanogenMod is, you should probably sell your android device and get an iPhone
This is flashable thru clockworkmod / rom manager.
Flash Cognition first, enable voodoo, boot up completely, then flash this.
Have fun guys...

edit* FASTTTT!!!!111 feels very responsive, I had to flash the google apps zip from the cmi9000 thread to get market working but its good now.

I am the most butthurt person right now. I just went through an hour of work getting the i9000 version installed. Imma cry now.

Nice work DG! As eugene says, community = progress.
Ehh...just thought I'd ask, but you didn't just drop the kernel into a zip right? There is a step where /data /dbdata etc are converted from RFS to ext4 right?

I would try this right now if my internal SD wasn't out of space. Looking forward to this!

What worked for me.
One click to stock, boot up and master clear.
Odin to jpm, then installed sentiron's kernel (using sheps jpm rom might work too)
Used the sentiron kernel to load DG's CM6.1 rom file.
For those of us in a 850 megahertz area this didnt work for me. I think I needed to start with jg8 modem...

Have you had 850 working before? You need to enable 850 before Odin to JPM.

How can you enable it before JPM?? Every time I've tried accessing that particular setup on a non i9000 it won't let me in. That's why I stopped messing with them.

Look around man, there have to be at least a half dozen i9000 ROMs where people are successfully using the 850 band. If I recall you had to enable it on JI6 or maybe it was JG8. I only had to do it once and it was...a month or so ago by now.

This seems super snappy! But, why is there no Market app?
Also FYI, after first boot it would not recognize my external SD card until I ejected it and replaced it.

EXTREMELY EXCITED.
Have been waiting for this!
So all I need to do please correct me if Im wrong is flash any other ROM such as Perecption or Cognition ect. Or just install the latest Voodoo Lag Fix. Then just flash this also on top of that through Clockwork?
Thanks and PLEASE correct me if im wrong here.

Personally if i were you i would wait for a more stable release, theres has been vast improvements in the kernel up till now but its still not ready for day to day use for everyone, plus if your unsure how to install it then you probably shouldn't ! But if you must , the method i used was flashed back to stock, gsm reset (code=*2767*3855#) which wipes all your memory, then flash darkys rom v7 and enable voodoo after phone boots and reboot it, then flash the gb kernel through clockwork recovery.... also i had to reboot the phone after installing the kernel to get 3g working...good luck

Consumers of ROMS sometimes forget that devs have family too.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you and your family. Wish the same to all the devs.
Cheers!!

Thanks DG! Happy Holidays to everyone. Cant wait for more stable version too.

woot woot. finally a method i could do!! this does leave me some questions though.
is it possible to just flash to stock 2.2 (instead of a custom rom), install voodoo5, and than install the zip through rom manager?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
the voodoo stable 5.0, is that for the captivate? just making sure, dont want to download something thats for the i9000.
and lastly! if anything goes wrong, flashing one click odin will solve everything correct? all the changes (aka the eff ups) i made should return to stock settings?
sooo excited!!
edit. to eleborate on my voodoo worries.
will reflashing with odin to stock, change my kernal back to the stock one or will it keep voodoo? just wondering because i was wondering if its required that i disable (or uninstall) voodoo before i use odin to restore or could i just use odin after testing the rom out without any disabling/enabling.
edit 2:
shoot forgot to ask, what are the usb files for? im gut tells me their the files needed for the comp to recognize the captivate after flashing. and second, does this require a root? and this is the LOL question, could i just rename the 2.3 file a "update.zip" and install it like that or do i have to do the whole clockwork thing. Six question. geez im dumb.
Merry Xmas!

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)

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?

Best Rom for EPIC 4G is RandomRom 2.3.4 | Alpha "Hawk" w/EG22 compiled by RamdomKing
UPDATE*********9/11/2011
Sad to say but do too issues with FC'S, ramdon rom hawk 2.3.4 can't no longer hold this title for me. I have tried different fixes none have worked. So for over 2 weeks now I've been testing [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2) and have not had any FC'S, overall it has been very stable. Occasional reboots do occur but that's a common thing with all gb releases. I hope random can find a way to stabilize the rom. I tried removing gtalk as mentioned but had no success, FC'S were still occurring. O well only 5 days left and the galaxy s2 will be out can't wait. The only down is the fact that it has no keyboard.
Newbie in the posting forum+++
I would like to say that after careful testing Ive come to the conclusion that RandomRom 2.3.4 combined with EG22, is by far the best gingerbread rom for my Epic 4G. I was really excited to see gingerbread roms for the epic 4G, so I tried scrambled eggs but unfortunately it was way to buggy ( Constant Freezes, Hangs etc) and battery life was not up to part. I then cleared the phone and gave RamdomRom a shot and it has proven to be a solid rom. Battery life has been amazing and radios too. GPS is also working really good and quite reliable. I have installed all gmail applications, other stock applications and a few others like the weather toggle, amazon, ebay, plume, pulse, shazam, Facebook and a few games all running great. One of my major concerns was the fact that Im a heavy phone user and allot of other roms would freeze while calls where coming in or at the time of placing a call ( Very frustrating) and that issue so far is non existent.
I must say to anyone interested in this rom to follow the instructions to the T. Watch out from installing unnecessary programs that might take away resources from the system to work at optimum level.
I would like to thank Ramdomking for compiling the best ideas from other great developers into this wonderfull rom. I'm leaving a link to the rom below. Please make sure to follow all instructions carefully and it should all work very smooth, if it doesn't then you may have done it incorrectly or installed a conflicting app. Cheers!

before you make that statement check out [ERA] eh06 unnamed v1.1 (updated 8/17). and make sure ur running the eh06 modem, not eg22. it's better and u can run it on either rom

besides acs syndicate i cant think of one that is actually stable... seems like everything else has bugs in a bunch or more

You beat me to it. ERA is the best GB rom to date.. for me at least. Maybe if random switched to EH06 I would try it out again No other gb rom worked properly.on my phone.. I would get random reboots and random fcs. All of the eh06 roms worked well for me and eras works excellent
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g

it doesnt support Exchange ? no mail app...

The app is just the client. It certainly does still support exchange. most people prefer other mail apps, such as touchdown, k9, or enhanced email. Just push the email.apk file back in if you want the stock email app back.

can you post link to the stock/default email APK? its not in the provided APK folder, and the 3rd party solutions (e.g. K9) are not passing my companies authentication

running really smooth. i highly suggest you run v6 supercharger 8, 11 after you set it up. but yeah I think they are using the eh06 ext4 kernel.. check out bonsai discussion under general.

OK, i got a head ache of trying to figure this out.....
I put hawk verson 2 on my phone following the instructions that randomking put on his blog here.
This step takes me back to 2.2.1..... is this correct. Is Hawk a froyo or a gb rom?
Pre-Steps:
Option A: Odin the .tar for EC05 deodexed EXT4.
Option B: Use one-click to root nearly any current setup with EXT4.
Option C: Already on an EXT4 setup? You’re good to go, proceed.
Steps:
A clean install is recommended (Wipe 3X).
Ensure that your phone is on CWM 3.1.0.1 (Purple).
Odin a Gingerbread modem such as EE03, EF02, EG22, or EH06.
Flash RandomROM Alpha “Hawk” v.2.
Enjoy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed the steps accordingly and I kept getting forced closed messsages and it wouldnt run the email app without closing it as well. Therefore, I feel like this should be running on gingerbread even though the step told me to put eco5 deodexed ext4 on it and that is where my problem was.
So is Hawk a gingerbread rom. I got a head ache and I apparently need some guidance.
If I did indeed do it right, and I am just suffering problems, can someone please recommend a problem free rom and tell me if it runs on froyo or gingerbread?

Well if the rom installed and is running, you did it right. If you're getting fc's in email, you can try clearing the cache/data.
If you want something totally stable, radomking just updated his ec05 rom (phoenix). Flash that and it should be rock solid and still have all his battery-saving tweaks.

As mentioned, it sounds like your install just suffered some issues. Try clearing data and cache and installing again. If problems persist, try redownloading.
Also, try 2.2.1 Phoenix EC05 for a solid experience.
But to answer your question:
Yes Hawk is a Gingerbread rom. Yes the directions recommend flashing a Froyo rom. No it doesn't matter. I've selected that particular .tar due to its repeated clean success with all of my rom testing of froyo or gingerbread. Flashing a rom through cwm will replace everything but the file system and modem. In essence, that pre-step is only to ensure you're on deodexed EXT4.

When I get FC's after an install its usually because of random crap left over from previous ROM. I notice you're new to XDA. Perhaps you don't know what RandomKing meant by wipe 3x.
While in clockworkmod notice that there is an option labeled "wipe data/factory reset" and under that "clear cache partition". Those should be done 3 times each. I usually alternate between them. I don't believe there's anything magical about 3 times. Just want to make sure they're wiped clean so don't be afraid to do it 4 times if you lose count.
I also go to "advanced" and then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache". May not be necessary but it doesn't hurt.
If you get FC's, go back and wipe 3x again and flash the ROM again. Don't do any of the options A - C if you reflash.
Good Luck!

Yeah i wiped 3x3, so idk. I mean it worked fine for a day or 2. And then i started gettiing fcs. This happened once where it was going beyond email. I was getting fcs to google framework and phone fcs.
Then I wiped it all and tried to start off fresh while being extra careful as to following the steps because I had a better idea what i was doing. Thank you all for the input and an extra thanks to randomking. I think at this point i am going to put phoenix on there and keep my eyes open for more randomroms to get updated/released.

I've been running Hawk v2 since it came out; I have a great experience running this rom. no force closes (usually those come from restoring data, bad idea) I have had a random reboot here or there, but that is on pretty much any leak. I just reboot my phone in once a day and haven't had a reboot since doing that.

I had a similar experiance. I ran it for 2 days and loved it! The Google frameworks issues. Cleared and reflased again had Google frameworks issues. I really wish someone explained what causes that because I loved the way my phone responded with that rom. I would give it another shot if someone suggested a fix.

It supports it, but I tried everything and still couldn't stop the email from "FC"s. Reflashed, uninstalled the apk, reinstalled, etc, etc... The email would FC every time I checked a new message.
Went back to "HAWK" after 2 days of frustration trying to figure it out...

Well I must say that I have also experienced FC issues with google framework. I experienced those issues when replacing batteries and taking the battery out before the phone was completely off. I'm now testing other rooms since a few people said I should of tried a few more rooms before calling hawk the best. So far from all the other roms, The only one I had great success with has been [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2).
You can find this rom below. What I can say about this one so far no FC's, this rom is also solid with battery, overall it has been fairly good.

One thing I have noticed is the fact that I can't receive mms, I only get a link to view on sprint website, anyone has any Idea how to get this to work?

Ok I gave Random Rom Hawk a second try. My first attempt worked great for a day and a half then it was Google frameworks error after error...I flashed the rom again and same thing in a day. Went back to a previous rom just depressed because Hawk while it worked was awesome. So I read and read the development strand and decided to give it another shot. This time I flashed the rom also ran the Ram control thread, then flashed the journaling zip, and uninstalled the gtalk/video app that came with the rom. 4 days everything sweet smooth and great! I am using eh06 modem and great signal and GPS locks instantly. No fc at all!!! Great job!
