Eugene has 4G running on the original Vibrant!

Just though you might want to know http://twitter.com/#!/Eugene_373

Wheres his release - be happy to stop working on it!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! I wonder if we can get true 4G speeds or if its a Hardware thing?

whoa!! everyday this phone gets more impressive..

You may want to clarify the OP--Eugene is running a Vibrant 4G rom, the KAB leak. Krylon, Jellette, and others have been tinkering with it today and Eugene/Barak have joined in on the fun. It looks like they may have a working ROM ready soon.
(personally, I'm not too optimistic since all of the kernels from these ports drain battery like crazy)

What's with the 4g icon in the notification bar then?

If that is actually 4g speeds and not just them using the 4g icon (like people do with the H icon), then this damn phone will never be stopped! Haha

Sucks cuz I dont think any of them have the FFC mod to tell us if this helps out with the banding.

Because it's a Vibrant 4G ROM? We can also flash ROMs that show either "H" or "3G"--the icon doesn't mean anything if the hardware or driver support isn't actually there.

I would be a lot more skeptical if it was anyone other than Eugene...

My thoughts exactly!! Glad his laptop is up and running again
sent from the other side of my galaxy.

on twitter i asked him if it was actually 4g speeds (which would be nuts) or just the icon to show he got that rom working. i'm sure we'll find out soon. these devs are insanely smart.

He also posted Quadrant and Linpack scores from the KAB running and unfortunately, they don't look as good as hoped. If it is indeed 2.2.1, if will offer no performance increases over our 2.2
Why?
Linpack 13.75
Quadrant 1090 without a lagfix.
If this is really 2.2.1, the Hummingbird JIT optimizations are not working. I hope it's just 2.2 then
The FFC support and possibly increased speeds DO look impressive though

To the best of my knowledge our devices don't have the proper hardware to receive full "4G" speeds, but they will be able tap into HSPA+ with faster speeds than 3G. T-Mo even said the original Vibrant would be the fastest non-4G device on the network.

Android Stock Rom?

Is there one for this phone thats functional? Ive seen the term AOSP tossed around and possibly CM7??? can anyone care to give some insight on this?

lol, i dont understand what your looking for. do you want a stock rom with sense like you had when you got the phone but rooted? or do you want a senseless rom like cm7? now i've seen the term STOCK tossed around.

I think he's looking for a true aosp rom that's just google code with it modified to work for the shift... I came from a hero recently and we had a true aosp rom with no frill like you would have found on a nexus one. It was great... fastest thing in the world... like doing a clean install of windows xp or 7... I too wish to see one on the shift... I know evervolv is aosp but its modified with themes and tweaks but its as close as we have I think...
I think as the phone picks up some development someone will put out a true aosp rom... just give it time?
Would love to see the full potential of this phone with just an os though

[Q] Slowness? CM7 questions.

I threw CM7 on my mt4g. and idk if it's from CM7 or just the network. but my phones youtube and internet is running pretty slow. I think i remember reading somewhere that you could enhance its running speeds? Thanks in advance.

As fast as Cyanogen is on the phone, CPU/GPU wise, it's networks speed are a tad slower then other ROMS. That i am aware of there is nothing to you can do increase network speed. If that were possible i believe they would have already done it and build it into the ROMs.

Agreed with above. Not much that can be done. You can try editing your build.prob. look in the q&a stickies and there is an explinarion on how to do it.

i compared my speeds to my friends stock mytouch 4g, there are no difference in speeds at all. it's all in your head.

Youtube has been slow in general all day today and yesterday, even on my home internet connection, with loads of free bandwidth, I got spinny circles of doom.

connect it to wifi and see if youtube is still running slow?
ive never had a speed problem with cm7!

I can actually say that my speeds have dropped by 1-2Mbps and that's testing it on the exact same tower from before and afterward, using our micro-tower at a T-mobile call center.

royalginger 2 and 3g/4g

just flash royal ginger 2.0, great rom, although i'm having an issue where my signal flips constantly between 3G and 4G, i actually was running with cygenmod 7 for a few days and was having the same issue so i thought iw ould try a different rom, and same issue. I've flashed all three different radios and have same luck. if i revert back to the stock rom, i have a solid 4G all the time. any suggestions?

When using CM or any derivitives of (maybe even AOSP) you will be connected to 3G most of the time until you download or need to use 4G then it will automaticlly switch.
With the stock rom it does not differentiate (visually) between 3G and 4G so even though you think you are on 4G all the time you might not actually be.

Is this why you have posted at least 15-20 times today in different threads with pretty much off topic useless comments? Trying to get your post count up since your account was created yesterday? I for one would never flash a Rom from some one that isnt or hasnt been a part of this community for some time. I also saw this post from you (only a hour ago) that makes me wonder....you are building Roms yet had to have help rooting a phone that is really very simple to root. This of coarse is just my two cents, and of coarse everyone is able to do what ever they want.

While you are new, I'll try that as soon as other people have given a thumbs up to it. but PLEASE try and make the gps consistent. That alone is why I'm sticking with the stock rom - any rom with good wireless data and fully functional GPS is a winner. ESPECIALLY if it's AOSP.

I saw this on a thread a while back... dial *#*#4636#*#* and then choose the first option (like phone info or something) then scroll down to where it says wcdma preferred and tap it and switch it to wcdma only and reboot and you'll be on 4g way more than before. I was having the same 3g 4g mess before I found info. Wish I could.thank the original post but I don't remember who it was. I also know that trick works on other android phones as well.

all vanilla android (aosp) ROMs seem to have this reputation. the people who do see this usually don't have this happen all the time but seems to come in spurts and then be ok for a while.
but one thing that does NOT help the situation is jumping around flashing one new ROM / kernel / radio after another over and over in short periods of time. ..feel free to do this if you're really itching to but just don't clog up all the corresponding threads with questions or comments about your battery life, reception, data speeds, etc .... JUST EXPECT inconsistencies if you're currently indulging your flash crack addiction.
it comes with the territory.
and I'm not trying to say don't try other setups out. but if you are really on a 'quest' to find the configuration (ROM/kernel/radio/etc) that works best for YOU - do yourself a favor and give each setup 3 - 4 days AT LEAST .. ideally a week +
not only for the ROM to have a chance to settle in and show you some kind of consistency but to give your worn out phone and battery a rest!
your glacier will be a much happier little block of ice this way, believe me
happy flashing

I'm going to throw this out there.

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.

I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

It really is much better, but it dropped one of the e's in "needed". I hadn't noticed the background thing because I use ADW EX with a theme. It seems fine stock, but I'd love to underclock again so I might just root for that.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

De-odexing isn't supposed to give ya performance boost, it allows you to theme your phone.

Yup, but alot of members here state that the roms under deodex run snappier. In which I disagree.
