Downloaded 2.2 but cant find flash player in market.

Hi I downloaded the manual update file on my wifes phone. It installed fine but I cannot find the flash player beta 3. Is anybody else having this issue? I tried wiping but that didn't fix the issue.

Its in the phone
You will not find flash in the market as 10.1 is included in the update. go to settings, applications, manage applications, click the "all" tab at the top and its magical froyo goodness (only 52kb to instead of the huge file). your welcome

Just realized that protected apps are not showing. Does anybody know why? I think I'm the only one having issues with 2.2 for evo.

Your right it is included in the install. A little different from the nexus one 2.2

Protected apps aren't working for me either. Here's my list of issues so far:
PRI is still 1.33 instead of 1.40
Protected apps not showing. About 10 of mine, and about half are paid too.
Browser seems to glitch a bit with Flash on, mostly when scrolling. Scrolling is slow and the graphics get kinda messed up.
Other than that, my 2.2 build seems great. Mostly I'd like to fix the PRI and especially fix the Market issue. Does anyone know at least a temporary fix?

Assuming you have the rooted 2.2 Froyo ROM.

Damn! Just when I think I don't need root for a while, I go and flash something that can only be fixed with root. LOL. Oh well, as long as its not the PRI issue, this won't be a problem for too long.

What is the best kernel for vibrant

Guys im ruining on nero v3 and jk6 modern and the voodoo 5 stick kernel that came with nero v3, with voodo enabled. so problem is that I run out of battery fast faster than stock jl6 on 2.1,so what is the best kernel with good battery life and performance. Stock kernel gives me some lag. So il avoid that one.

FYI: Voodoo will ALWAYS drain your battery faster than stock.

it happened to me too. i went in recovery, advance and wipe the battery stat and now the battery last much longer.

Why do you say? Voodoo uses stock kernels except it converts partitions to ext4.

I'm not entirely sure why but I think its because the system has to constantly convert the data to ext4 rather than having a native rfs. Don't take my explanation as fact though. But from personal experience and countless posts from others, its known that Voodoo will always drain faster than stock.

The easiest way to root your device would be to go into the development section and there is a post at the very top that says the vibrant bible and download the one click root or one of the other methods listed. That will root your device then u need to go to the market and download Rom Manager. Then find a custom Rom that u like and put it on the internal sd card. I am using Eugene's macnut r14. After u put it where it goes then go into Rom Manager and click flash clockwork mod recovery. It will have a list of phones click on the vibrant. After it downloads click on boot into recovery. It may take u to the stock recovery, if it does move down using the volume down button and select "Reinstall Packages" using the power button it should then take u to clockwork mod. In there click install zip from sd card. Scroll down using the volume down button and select it using the power button again. Then once u find the rom click the power button again once it is highlighted. It will ask are u sure that u want to install this. Scroll down and select yes. And that is it you are then done and now will have 2.2 if the rom u picked had it. Also before u install the rom but after u root the device download Titanium Backup and make a backup of all your apps and that will also save your data with those apps. If u need any help feel free to P.M. me because that is easier then finding this thread again.

Im no noob when it comes to flashing but I flashed back to stock using odin last week, immediately afterwards I flashed back to nero v3. So today I flashed eugenes super io kernel after disabling voodoo of course, went into oclf to enable the lag fix but to my surprise its saying my phone isn't rooted?? So the option of installing the lag fix isn't available to me. Yet I've been able to flash custom roms???? I don't get it

[Q] Quick DJ05 Question

Hello, I looked around a bit and couldn't find an answer, so I figured i would just post this and ask.
I have two (probably) easy questions.
1. I'm on DI01 right now (superfast and superclean), can i go straight to DL09 or do i have to go DJ05 then DL09?
2. Can anyone give me a link to download odin? The link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
happens to be broken for me.

anyone?

You can go straight to DL09. I have Odin shared on my Google Site page with instructions for upgrading as well, see here.

Thanks.
You think Voodoo is worth it or not?

I use voodoo as it makes installing apps a lot faster and lags the phone less. Since voodoo5 and red clockwork, it's been much more reliable and easier to use.

Dl09 was a success.. I'm on the non-voodoo kernel and I'll probally flash voodoo tommarow.

That's good to hear. The only thing you need to remember after moving to voodoo is to be aware that you're using it when switching kernels. If you flash a non-voodoo kernel without first disabling voodoo, it can be a big headache. However, with the current state of development, most things are moving toward voodoo since it has become more stable and reliable.

Yep yep. Thanks for the quick replies and all the help you have been. I have the voodoo zip file on my sd card (the one from the DL09 thread). All I need to do is flash that one right?

Yeah, flash it the same way you did the other kernel and rom. When you restart, there will be a voice giving an approx. time to convert the partitions to the new file system. It will hold on the Samsung logo while doing the conversion and then go to the boot animation when done. I think the time to convert is anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on how much data you have. Disabling voodoo will take a few minutes longer and has the same voice time estimates.

Alright. I might just do this right now then.

Voodoo took about 5 minutes to get to a fully usable phone. Thank you very much! My phone feels brand new and ultra fast

i just installed dl09, and flashed the right rom. I restarted and am wondering how long it takes to load the rom. I did not flash the kernel right away. I was going to do that after the rom. So far I only have a black screen about 3 minutes in. Whats the deal?

You need to flash the kernel too
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.

just restarted flashed rom and then kernel both. black screen with bottom buttons all lit up for about 20 minutes now. help.

What rom and kernel did you flash? And you flashed the modem in the pda section of odin?
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.

yes i used the pda section and it passed just fine. i then unplugged phone, put batt back in. started phone back up and used rom manager to get to recovery. at first i just flashed blackhole 3.0 rom but i had his kernel and several components downloaded. i was paranoid so i flashed rom then reboot. black screen after samsung for a long time. i then reflashed rom w/ kernel. still got hung. then i went back and flashed everything i had dl including boot animation, digital clock, everything along with rom and kernel again. this time got to blackhole boot animation then has been stuck on that screen for about 40 min. it is the boot with the galaxy and stars with a small android robot in the lower right corner. thinking of doing the odin d101 package. wont that return me to stock. i don't want to but any suggestions.

[INFO] Reduce / Eliminate FCs (and perhaps reboots)

For those of you who are having FC's or reboot problems, I recommend trying this (on all roms):
clear cache / DC 3x
flash the rom form the sd card
immediately flash the rom again
Do all of this without rebooting. What ive noticed a LOT is that I often get curious issues with roms, and then I flash them again and dont get those issues anymore (--or, I get a different set of curious issues). Since i do everything else the same, it seems that it must have been the flash that was problematic. just as we have grown accustomed to wipe data multiple times to ensure a successful clear, we should also become accustomed to flashing (especially for larger files more prone to exhibiting problems) multiple times to ensure a clean and successful write.
I know there was a GB ram leakage problem with EG22/EH06 which was causing reboots, but even with these roms you shouldnt be experiencing FC's right out of the box. A lot of people have claimed to run EH17 without any reboots (or FCs) so you too should be able to experience it. Good luck all.
PS - If you have Journaling OFF, make sure your phone doesn't die due to lack of power! Keep it charged. Four times so far I've been thrown into the chaos of "The application Google services Framework has stopped unexpectedly," due to letting un-journaled phones die. Now, I just keep it on for data safety / integrity.

First. Good tip.
you'll probably get flamed for posting this in development though.

thank god lol

I brought the lighters, let's getm,,,,, oh, well damn, good tip man.

You know I have never had to flash anything twice and things go pretty well with my flashes for the most part but I do one thing that isn't usually mentioned. After I do all the wipes 3x (data cache dalvik) I go into mounts and storage and I format data cache and system. The data and cache obviously have already been formatted but none of the wipes ever touch system. The ROM script must do that I guess, but I figure why not play it safe and personally clean all the file systems... Works for me.

thanx for the tip man.....will try next time I flash a new ROM

this is what i did after seeingit in a post and mines is runnign goood so far ...question how do u know if journaling is on or off

great tip.. im about to try it RIGHT NOW.. I have wiped and reinstalled roms for the past 2 days now.. because I keep getting reboots and force closes.. even before I try to install any new apps.. im now on a rooted stock deodexed EG22.. that I just flashed about 2 hours ago.. I will now try a custom rom and fash twice and see how it works out for me..

This sounded interesting so I broke my vow not to flash gingerbread again until it was released. I decided to do everything differently than I had in all the previous installs and follow the OPs directions. I'm running EC05 rooted with CWM, so I downloaded the stock odex EH17 zip, followed the clearing suggestions in this post, and flashed EH17 in CWM. Flashed it twice as suggested. Flashed SU, and rebooted.
Long story short, after about 90 minutes it rebooted on its own.
Glad I made a nandroid backup before I started this, because I'm back on stock EC05 rooted again.

all gb roms will have fc's; this is just a procedure to make sure that the fc's you Do experience are caused by errors in the rom's programming as opposed to flashing errors =]
i too am on rking's ec05

I can also assure everyone, turning your head to the right, while flashing, improves the data connection speeds with any GB modem.

I had great success with EH17 using the Tegrak config along with the EH17Plus Kernel. Also, I found that the only time I did get a reboot was when I was using the hotspot or wireless tether. But it only happened when the phone got hot and was NOT on the charger. No reboots at all when tethering if I had the phone plugged into the charger, or during any other usage. I recently went back to EC05 to use the SRF1.2 ROM. EH17's modem was a lot faster too, imo. Going back when more ROMs become available.
Also, I tried Hurricane but got fc's. I'll try it again with the doube flash. I liked it otherwise. Now that I think about it, I was flashing modems and started getting fc's on SRF1.2. But none after I flashed it again (double). So this may be the trick if you're having fc's.

Help with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3

Okay folks, if somebody could bring my issue to the attention of anybody who knows what to do about it I would appreciate it.
My issue is twofold:
1)I'm still getting random reboots with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3 despite the posting on the thread that says (NO MORE REBOOTS) Is there anything that can be done about this?
2)I checked my baseband version and the modem is still EC05, is there a way to flash or ODIN an EI22 modem for this ROM without getting a black screen when the icons should come up? Could this also be what's causing the reboots?
Thanks for anybody's help that is willing to give it.

Are you using a custom theme? And you have to flash the stickied modem delta. If you are using a theme, I would blame that.
Sent from my ICS NookColor using Tapatalk

I was using thunderhawk too and I had some reboots but onlyyyyy on the lockmod version. When I flashed the regular one I had no problems at all
And for basband I would probably try this
Nandroid backup
Flash "ec05 to ei22" its somewhere in the development section I believe
Reboot
If that doesn't work then a fresh new start is what I would Recommend
Odin back to stock
Root
Install cwm
Flash "eco5 to ei22" modem
Flash thunderhawk 3.3 (without lockmod if you could live without it)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I got the EI22 modem here and flashed it in CWM and it worked well. Only problem I had with thunderhawk is the lockscreen mod, and I'm having data issues on wifi after the phone's been on a while.

I was ec05 but when I flashed the Thunderhawk and it changed to ei22. never had a problem. Got a wild hair up my butt to flash the shadow kernal 1.0.6. Never been happier. no reboots, wifi works perfect, and very responsive. running a live wall paper and still get awesome battery life. give it a try

I saw several posts from folks having some wifi-4g interaction problems...switching back and forth causing one or the other to fail...is that a common problem to all 3.3 users, or are most people not seeing it? I want to give this a try, but I use 4g (at work) and wifi (home) everyday, so I'd like to see how common that issue is. I'm currently on Mostly-stock with Nubernel's latest released kernel...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

So...bummer. I guess I answered my own question...I installed Thunderhead 3.4.3 and sure enough... I have wifi and 4g problems. Seems like going back and forth between the two causes issues...had it fail going both ways today. On a positive...man, that ROM seems pretty nice and his new install process rocks...was seamless going from Mostly Stock...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

You could always try a clean install with doing a factory data reset in CWM and wiping Dalvik, flash ROM, check to see if stuff works, then do an advanced data restore from your last nandroid. If you stll have problems then the best bet is to set everything up fresh after the clean install.

The deal with the wifi/4g issue is that 4g will show 0.0.0.0 for ip, baseband, and dns if used after wifi in most cases. This is on official releases of 3.3 and newer. If you turn off wifi, reboot, then turn on 4g it should work. This is oviously annoying. Random provided me with alpha builds of 3.4 and 4.0, and the issue was squashed for me. However, the issue still persists in 3.4.3 official release according to some reports. I have limited access to 4g and can only test on certain days.
Thunderhawk is in a transitional period right now, and 3.4.5 should be released today. Random is hopeful this might solve some issues, including the dialer issues some are reporting with the 3.4 official builds. After that his focus will be on 4.0, which is EL30 based. Consider anything from 3.4 on a beta, and only run it if you want to help find bugs. Obviously you don't mind reporting or I wouldn't be replying lol. Just follow the threads and wait untill it looks stable enough for your usage needs.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Thanks! I certainly wasn't busting on Random's work...and I know he has limited access to 4g for testing, so that makes it harder for him to verify these things. So
I absolutely saw what you describe going from wifi to 4g. Going from
4g to wifi, I had wifi that wouldn't turn on at all (error when trying to enable), and, like you and others have mentioned, a reboot resolved both cases. I will hang out and see if he pushes out a fix soon, and just eagerly await 4.0. If it gets too annoying, I'll restore to my
Mostly Stock... Hmmm... Is there an issue restoring an rfs backup if I am now on ext4? Heh...
