I love my Vibrant - Vibrant General

Switched to Mytouch 4G for a month... and now I'm back.
Flashing the latest MIUI.
I love it.

Of course I do, but its getting old. The forums are dieing everyone's leaving. We hardly have new development lately. The only thing keeping us alive are Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Explodingboy, JCC, and some others I forgot to mention. Everyones gone.
Why did you leave the Mytouch 4g?

I love my Vibrant, some devs and users are moving on to newer phones and communities, but I dun see the point in it just yet, it's working great and I dun need it to be any faster. It's just right.

I have to agree with you. My phone does everything i need it to. I just got my 1800mah battery a few days ago, so battery life is better. Also just installed v6 supercharger script and the phone is even more buttery smooth. Been checking out the sgs II forums and honestly nothing so far has made me want to change.

I do love my Vibrant.
I was bartending last night and a guy at the bar had a (stock) Sprint SGS2. I played with it for a while, and damn, it was smooth. It did make me feel slightly jealous.

I love mine but I want to change to a newer one.
But alas, I'm stuck here until I get money for a new one.
Im my country, the newest one we have is the SGSII and not only that thing is older than I'm comfortable with (the international version), but also costs 500+ ON CONTRACT.
**** you Orange.

What's v6 supercharger? And can u point me in the right direction. Thanks

I am happy with my vibrant also but I am itching to get that samsung galaxy s2 when I have enough money and when I see it hover around $350 or less on craigslist. Probably have to wait for few more months though.

Its fairly simple. He gives links to all the files and tools you need. The script pretty much tells you what to do.

Unless we have a custom ICS I don't think I'll be leaving my current rom. I'm done with flashing with this phone.

I love my vibrant as well. My only real problem with it is the GPS never worked for crap. Mind you, its a first gen vibrant (i bought it the day it came out). If i could solve the GPS, ill be happy as a pig in... noodles?

try miui 2.3.7 nb version 1.11.4. This version frees up alot of ram.

If i remember correctly you can use this script with any android OS. It automatically recommends the settings based on your phone. Just read thru the OP to be sure.

I bought it when it first came out. GPS didn't work. A few months later I bricked it lol and T-Mobile gave me a new one. GPS works perfectly.

Flash-aholic Anonymous tread

So I decided to start this tread for all of us that are addicted to flashing Roms thanks to Eugene, Master, Heathens, and specially Team Whiskey.
I got my first taste of a Froyo Rom back in October and I've been hooked like a crack addict! Lol!
Although I've never tried crack I can only image how they feel!
I check in with my XDA app more than I do my girlfriend, waiting and hoping for that new Rom to flash just to get that fresh Rom high! Lol!
Any themes that come up I flash just because I have a need to flash something.
Team Whiskey has the best stuff so anything new from them I just gotta have. I can only imagine what I'm going to do when they have Gingerbread for my phone!
They say the first steps to recovery is to admit you have a problem and to identify the source!
My name is Victor and I'm a flash -aholic thanks to my Vibrant and all the developers at XDA.
So the rest of you guys just like me admit your addiction so you can feel better and we can all work on our problem together!

Hi, my name is Paul and I too am a flashaholic. I'm so glad that someone had the courage to help us all try to get on the road to recovery. My addiction has caused me to lose time, dignity and self esteem. I am ashamed of my repetitive behaviors and always wanting to seek a new high. I have sought after fantasy speeds and lagfix numbing for years now and I want to stop but I can't!!!!! Hopefully I will now have the motivation to do so by knowing that other XDA brothers and sisters are having the same struggles. Thank you all!!!!!
BTW, just flashed M10 RC1, nice...can't wait for the next update
Paul just want to let you know that we are all here for you, together we can get through this! Lol!
How's Rc1 compared to Nero 4, I've been waiting for them to make it more stable!

I know that M9 was the fastest ROM that I have ever used on the Vibrant. Not knocking TW or Eugene, but that **** is so snappy, even before voodoo.

In the past four days I have flashed nero 4, 4.1. M9,M10, pepperkake, and modded and morphed all of them fully.
Running nero 4.1 + DoW now, and I'm thinking about modding gingerclone and M10 beta 4 with dragon and DoW kernals.

I'm Glensta - Newcomer flash-a-holic. Since the vibrant came out, I've bricked a total of 6 vibrants. I returned 4 to 1 store, telling them "I don't know what happened?" Then that store refused anymore returns, so I found a different store that'd take back my 5th vibrant.....Finally, my 6th vibrant came from t-mobile cust. svc with some routine questions being asked by the rep. Now I'm good at "download" mode finally.
I did use one of my family member's upgrade (hell - they said they won't use it - so why not) and bought me a little cheapie phone just in case I brick again.
Flashing's fun w/ friends
Hi, my name's Steven, and I've been a flash-a-holic for about a year, when I first met that green robot Andy. Currently I'm waiting for a fix for the FFC so I can mod my phone even more.

I like it a lot. Unfortunately my sole criteria in evaluating a ROM anymore is how long it takes until I get my first random shutdown. I'm now into the end of a second full day and knock on wood, it has not turned off yet. The speed, with Voodoo, is comparable or faster than Axura. The one 2.2 incarnation series I have never used is Nero, for whatever reasons, not sure? The aesthetics are fine for me. I know the thread has said there's an issue with the "Ambient Launcher" which I do not use anyway, so, it's great in my opinion. I'm not sure I read anything about any other issues. RC2 apparently is now out, but I am staying put on the "it ain't broken" theory. I may not even try 2.3 when it comes out. I'm hoping to be cured from the addiction by then (yeah, right).
Ever since i figured out how to break into my perfected SPL mytouch3g, I can't help but check the various forums for just another ROM to try. I now have a haxsung vibrant as my main with my mytouch 3g(super-F) in my coat pocket just for such an emergency..
This rom has turned into my favorite. I've got a backup of v3, and this. Seems to be all I need but I do enjoy seein the other versions and how they compare.

The older the hardware is, the less likely it is that people will stick around working on it. Also be aware that most of your list is made up of non-devs.
Most people who worked on Dream have gone to VISION. At some point, you should consider the fact that although Dream was a revolutionary piece of hardware, it is now OLD.

Well, the Vogue has been out for a looong time and it still is in support (miraculously).

The G1 still gets more rom development than the G2 (although it's started to even out). Maybe some devs are leaving, but there are plenty left.

G1 has the best support ever from devs and it should as it's the OG android device of them all. I will probaly check out the lg optimus2x or htc pyramid next as I believe those are the game changers that will have the same/hopefully better support even then g1.

I will stick to my G1 for some time, I was thinking in getting a SGS which are cheaper now, but I'm not very sure about the community support. The G1 is great and will be great for some time.

Vibrant's Verizon Brother The Fascinate Getting Gingerbread Update!!! Wheres ours?

According to Phandroid.com, the Fascinate on Verizon is getting the Gingerbread Update!
http://phandroid.com/2011/12/01/samsung-fascinate-gingerbread-update-ready-to-roll/
Now T-mobile and Samsung, I have to ask, where is the Vibrant's update?
Galaxy S internatinoal got gingerbread.
Galaxy S 4G got gingerbread.
Captivate has gingerbread leaks.
Fascinate is getting gingerbread.
Vibrant Canada I think got gingerbread also.
So where is the T-mobile Vibrant Gingerbread????????????????????????
Might be more power full if posted in samsung website forum.
yea, post that there. Ive given up on GB anyway, custom roms are better anyway
Accept that it's not coming and 2.2 is the terminal firmware for the Vibrant. You can thank the T-959v for that.

Imagine how better they'd be with Gingerbread source.
Eh doesnt matter anymore. We got devs doing ics, in a week or two more it'll run flawlessly.
wait.. correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the fascinate the same hardware minus the modem (cdma)? if this is the case devs could just as easily rip all the files needed to complete our driver issues on GB. if not oh well.
I believe there is something different with the GPS drivers on the Vibrant, which is why we have so many great ROMs without very good GPS.
Seriously? Another rant about gb for the vibrant? Just flash an i9000 port, and stop complaining. Or get another phone. There are early builds of ics popping up already. the vibrant was one of the first to get an ics build actually....

I9000 ports are good, but I need gps daily. If Im not mistaken the only GB kernel that has GPS is about 6 months old. We get an up to date GB kernel with working gps and more will flood the I9000 ROM section.

I understand the need for GPS, but it's really a hit or miss with vibrants. I'll pretty sure i got the first run of units, so gps never really worked well for me, no matter what ROM I'm on.
Granted, if i use the gb bullet kernel, i can get a lock and even navigation, but it takes a while. I just use maps to give me directions, then follow them. Simple solution to a simple problem.

Everyone has a choice. Thats why I love Android and iOS. Both have their pros and cons. I am NOT a fanboy. I can point out both advantages for both platforms, and both have disadvantages.
I'm just glad this wasn't like 5 years ago where the only choice for a smartphone = iPhone. I did own a iPhone 3GS, jailbroke it, found nothing interesting to jailbreak except to pirate apps... which i pointless to me. I prefer android, it gives me a change. But again, opinions are opinions.
Tmoble already has the sgs 2 and the sgs 4g. Not to mention that the vibrant was discontinued months ago there's honestly no point in a business point of view updating a phone there not making any money on

And this is why we need source direct from samsung
CM DROPS VIBRANT SUPPORT DUE TO 911 INABILITY:
"We are no longer supporting the Vibrant due to the inability to dial 911. We consider the issues related to this unresolvable without source code from Samsung related to the Radio interface layer and its interactions with the Audio layers and have taken the decision to no longer support this. We apologize for the inconvenience and strongly suggest that Vibrant users use a Samsung ROM due to the 911 issues with any ROMs based on open source code."
http://phandroid.com/2011/12/12/cya...le-galaxy-s-support-dropped-due-to-911-issue/
Now do you see why it is so important to have put pressure on Samsung/T-Mobile to release an update to Gingerbread? This is why! Developers are talented but they can't work miracles. We need source/drivers for proper 911 and GPS capabilities just to name a few.

[Q] Fascinate's death?

Hey everyone,
I was just curious (and a noob so forgive me), I have been noticing a lot of developers switching off to other phones with the departure of jt1134 and the disappearance of ccampos.
Could the Samsung Fascinate's end of life be near? I know there are still developers working but lets face it, the Fascinate isn't as popular as it once was now with the Galaxy Nexus and the Droid Razr.
Well anyways post your thoughts if you agree or disagree that the Fascinate's death is close at hand or not.
Considering my old Eris still has support, I doubt it. Many people won't be due for an upgrade until later this year into early next year, plus the hardware is still very good. JT/sbrissen have done quite a bit of work, and since the Fascinate is a CM supported device we'll see that continue as well.

I hope support stays around for the fascinate for a while. The fascinate is a great phone and i don't plan on changing phone as long as i can keep my fassy up and running.
Completely disagree, literally 4 new ice cream sandwich ROMS were released in the passed two days. Check the development thread...

What has been the case historically with older phones such as the Eris that sarkozy mentioned? I would hope that as old developers leave, new ones arrive.
Plenty of people still working on this phone. I had an Eris and they are still deving for it too. I get bored and flash stuff on there every once in a while just to see whats new and poppin.

Maybe because it really sounds feminine or it rhymes with sassy. That's my reason

I just picked up a fascinate almost a month ago now. I was coming from the Droid 1, that still sees quite a bit of development. And the Droid as much as I loved it comes nowhere near being as smooth or responsive as this phone. So there is deffinately no hardware restrictions I see causing an end of the road issue. While I havent been around to see what the dev community was, it still seems to be quite healthy from what I've seen lately. Its inevitable that developers move to newer devices but that also opens doors for others to step up to the plate. And as long as there is enough people interested and thankfull for software I think that there will be developers out there willing to work on it.

which are the ice cream sandwich roms?
Stephen K. Spear posted 3 different ics roms in the development section a couple days ago.

I think we should find a way to help those guys, teamhackingsung along with independent developers are working hard to get ICS up on our fassy. I wish I knew how to code or I would be all for helping them out, I have to give them much respect for what they do to fix these phones left without a paddle (so to speak). I still find it amazing how some developers do it for free and just want a simple thank you, does anyone know how to code? I really want to help these guys.
Dang...I feel for you guys. I used my Fascinate as an MP3 player for a while after I got my Nexus. Then one day I decided to flash one of JT's newest builds and it wouldn't boot and couldn't get into recovery. Didn't feel like odining and it's been sitting by my router ever since.

Zacisblack... No one likes a bragger...LOL.
In all seriousness, I believe that the Facinate and its developers will be here for the long haul. As long as there are phones out there and people don't have the $$'s to upgrade as often as they like do to the economy. This is my 3 cents worth.

Looks like VZW is offering upgrades to folks with issues after the OTA GB update. We may be losing even more Fascinate owners.

Hasta La Vista

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

Oops. I just noticed I posted this in Android Development. My bad. I don't think this is development.
Edit: Thanks, Kenny for fixing that.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better. My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

Go with an Optimus if you can. My dad has the S3 and it is nice, but worse than the OG. I'll miss all you. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Good luck to all of you.

I may be seeing you soon. Lol want to jump ship from this sprint bandwagon so bad.
Thanks Xbox for all the amazing ROMs, support, and dedication making this phone last far beyond any other phones of it's time. Love seeing people's brand new phones with inferior software than that of my 2 year old epic! Keep on keeping on man. Optimus G folks don't know what they are about to get

Kenny was refering to the discussion of other phones.. Not the Goodbye in general to Xboxfanj.
Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
