I find myself constantly refreshing the android dev forum, scouring thru developers websites, and stalking their twitter pages, looking for an update to the latest ROM. I almost never use my vibrant for what it is anymore...a phone! This website has ruined me. I spend my whole day pressing F5 over and over and over. Flashing, reflashing, flashing, reflashing, ERROR, ODIN, flashing, reflashing. Im sick, i need help. I can see it now....FOX news reporting "Kids trying new drug...street name "XDA"." Its a massacre.
haha jk
Lol im the same way is there a cure im I think im dying little by little lol great post

For real dude I was watching a medical show as well a looking through xda and heard the heart rate monitor in the background and cause I've done so much to this phone I thought I did something wrong I put it up to my ear like oh crap that can't be good and my wife was like that's the tv dumb ass
This site did take me off of facebook though so I've got that going for me I'm in love with my vibrant there it at least has vibrant in the thread once edit: twice
Constantly Drinking
Whats even worse I'm getting a laptop just for the purpose of having odin handy..24 hours being a dad and working 24 hours xda and modding cause of course this site has a mobile app my days are so much longer now
Constantly Drinking
I want to agree with everyone's elses comments on here. I feel like all the other people on this subject. Looking for the next best ROM for the phone. Always trying to make it better.
"hi my name is all ~g1, and yes, yes ... I am an addict!" :tear:
Now that the froyo storm has passed & R12 is in the recalibration stage I think, or at least I hope, I'll keep the staking down by half. I'm happy, for now.
Waiting patiently for 2.3 nexus $ release... Lol.
Yes I'm in this boat as well. My wife keeps yelling at me to put the damn phone down. She even complained to her therapist about my flash addiction!

also ever since i started flashing roms i feel the need to learn how to create my own roms and modifications. Luckily my laziness overcomes this feeling, but still.

No kidding right as soon as I get my laptop I think I'm going to try to make live wallpapers or something like that at least I won't feel like I'm wasting time although everyone else that I know that has a vibrant ain't got $#&! On mine they ask me what I did I say read things on xda for a month and a half ps reading for hours on end for a month straight = a whole lot of reading

haha true. but my friends dont know **** about technical stuff and most of them just have messaging phones (LG Vu, Sharp FX, blah blah) so if i try to explain anything about my phone to them there like clueless haha. And im not even going to bother talking to people who have an iphone. I wonder that spell they are put under when they buy that phone so that no matter what, they think there phone is 100x better than anyone else's when its not lol. but this isnt a iphone bashing thread so ill leave it at that.

lol this is also what's happening to me today! especially the froyo roms are on the hype today. when i wake up the very first thing that i will do is to look if there's an update on the development section.
Hi my name is 12paq.
I have been modding hard since my Pocket PC days. I have increased to 8-10 hours a day since getting my Vibrant and trying flashing for the first time. Don't blame Odin or Rom Manager, they are just delivery devices.
My wife has left me, my daughter won't talk to me and my dog left me for another dude. (Sounds like all Country music).
I refuse to believe I have a problem. It is everyone else that has a problem!
Now back to reading XDA. Tonight I'm mixing it with top shelf Gin for extra buzz. Now leave me alone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 which I could stop using the XDA App any time I want.
Xda was like crack for me (I love crack ) back when I had my g1. It was awful, hours and hours each day, up all night. I was so burnt out I was actually relieved to get the mytouch 3g and keep it stock, I finally realized how great android just is, of course I flashed update zips early but I didn't modify it, I finally rooted my nexus to try 720 which completely blew but that's it I love my vibrant and I want froyo bad but these threads are the same as they were back with my g1, there's always an issue, there just isn't any rom as stable as stock, the ones that are close are basically stock anyway so what's the point? Faster maybe, but not as stable. Anytime I check a rom thread people are asking for help, that crap has helped me stay on the wagon. If there was a froyo zip for unroored vibrants though, I'd jump on it...

Hate too pull you off the wagon but T-Moble and Sammy aren't known for their well vetted bug free updates. The ones on XDA seem better supported. Many fans here of many Froyo updates. Just wait and don't be the first to try the first version unless you want to play beta tester, a good cause too.
I'm using Tmo stock 2.2 fro Eugene with Klang kernel and it rocks with far less bugs then any crud official. You see the complaints here way more then the successes.
Come on... try it... I dare ya... just once you'll like it...
This **** spreads too. I got one of my friends hooked on flashing custom roms to his old WinMo phone and he's now followed my footsteps and picked up a Vibrant because of how much he loves to play with the new roms I flash every week. I have another friend who's on AT&T who has been following the Captivate forum so he is now wanting to get one so that he can try the xda drug for himself. Haha!

I have four friends here at work who has a Vibrant since I picked one up. People always asks me about Android phones here as well because they like what they see.
I'll join you in the Dealer club!
I tried to get my doctor to understand my sickness, and maybe find some medication. But....while researching this disease he just became addicted himself and now has closed his practice and i have yet to hear from him...
This was a fun post to joke around on and a really positive antithesis to some of the negative garbage dumping going on on this site now.
Thanks for the laughs!
We probably scared some people too, snicker snicker...
I have had the vibrant for a couple of months now, and I must say I am very dissapointed.
I had the chance to try my friends' evo and another friends mytouch 4g and I must say these phones are about 10 times better rhan the vibrant...
No lag, gps works amazingly fast and accurate 9.8 ft accurancy indoors on the evo with 8 sats locked. These phones just work right out of the box. The vibrant is a hyped up phone with very little usability because most times I need something really quick the phone decides to crawl and doesn't respond. Build quality is also better on the mentioned phones. Even my other friends htc aria performs faster and better in every aspect and that on 2.1...
Hopefully someone will solve these issues at some point cause it seems to me it is all software related cause on the spec sheet the vibrant looks to be a great device but in real life it is just a lot of frustration...
This is definitely my last Samsung phone and as soon as I get my hands on a used mytouch 4g I will gladly get rid of the vibrant.

Just root it go crazy oh baby oh baby .
Root it
Flash voodoo kernel/custom rom
quit whining.
You don't like your Vibrant, great. Leave the forum and stop complaining about it. You can sell it, smash it, trade it, whatever. We don't care. The majority of us are happy with the Vibrant.
Now lets be nice. We havent a reason to be rude. He is unhappy and has a right to be. We dont have to respond to the thread.
I am for one happy with my phone. Gps works! awesome software by teamwhiskey!
Great glasstopia them by mwbehr. Fantastic kernel by the man himself eugene373.
I already learned I dont need samsungs support. Maybe we can help him learn that also.
Well what a friendly community this is...
I felt like venting because using this phone is frustrating. I posted in the general section so if that was wrong let the mods take care of it but don't act like an idiot.
My vibrant is rooted and on official ka6. Rooting has nothing to do with the performance of the device.
Besides a phone should work the right way out of the box without any modification. If you say you are happy then good for you, but you might want to try using other phones and you will clearly see the difference...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I didnt mean to come off rude, I was giving you the solution man.
I have MANY phones. Rooting doesnt help the performance... but apps that need root access do. And yes, voodoo (converting the file system to EXT 4) WILL fix your complaint.
Hazzard99 thank you for the reply. You are absolutely right and that is why I said it must all be software related since the hardware seems like it is supposed to beat pretty much any device out there.
I am fine with rooting and I did it, I just do not feel comfortable to flash any custom firmware yet...
I am more frustrated with samsung than anything else. I think android is the future definitely and it is growing daily... but Samsung lost me as a customer, that is for sure.

I'm sorry, aren't a ton of the threads in this forum dedicated to people's complaints with sammy/tmo/vibrant? Not a whole lot of us are satisfied with the Vibrant stock. Maybe we can educate him just how simple it is to root this device and put it's fantastic hardware to use.
Can you imagine what we'd miss out on if Sombionix or Eugene were basically told to piss off when they first picked up an Android phone and wanted it to do more?
Cut the guy some slack is all I'm sayin.

I will be flashing a custom rom and kernel but I think before that I will do a little more reading. I grasp the basics but I still require a bit more education before I proceed and this forum has plenty of step by step guides on how to do it, I just felt the need to bash Samsung. I wish I could do more so that Samsung actually hears my and many other peoples complaints.

I understand that the stock version of the phone is truly laggy, and the gps is not that great. But they are many roms or "custom firmwares" that u can flash. They will make ur phone nearly 100x better. Flashing is defnitely worth it. If ur brave enough, you can even add on the ffc.
Dont be scared you dont have to do much but flash the rom of your choice and read up on it a bit.
One of the little pleasures of life Is taking pride in the things that we do for ourselves. I am very grateful for the community everytime I meet someone who has a certain phone and hates it. I let them know that the phone isnt that bad.
Oh and btw I run bionix v and I can underclock to 800mhz and be happy as a pig in poop.
And also we let samsung have it. they got railed via facebook and twitter about how unhappy people were. Tust me they know!!!

A little ass is better than no ass! Amirite? lol
Yeah I was scared about f-ing my phone up but with some reading and some trail and error I've learned that without tthe dev community I would truly hate and more then likely would have broke this phone out or frustration. Wait till you get a whiskey or axura or eugene or the other guys.(sorry I just don't know the developer name but they so trigger and couple others) you will be floored. I know I am
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well guys thanks for your input. I will have to do some more reading and definitely some flashing (this just sounds weird)
One question though. Would flashing eugenes kernel but remaining with stock ka6 fix the lag on this device?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Dont flash that!!!!!
Not cause its bad or anything.. but it could possibly erase your sd card and mess with your internal memory if you dont watch out
You are warned
Got it. I will stay away for now.
Thank you!

Sorry I meant supercurio not eugene.
Supercurio is the one that mentioned odin flashable kernel + voodoo but using stock firmware ka6 if I understood correctly...
I feel comfortable using odin, so if this will speed up the vibrant I would gladly try it...

It has a big impact on the speed. And sound is freakin sweet!
This comment on twitter should be all you need to know to avoid buying the premium version of Rom Manager if you own a Samsung Fascinate
http://twitter.com/#!/clockworkmod/status/41727966463393792
Just posting a warning, if you are going to choose to support a Dev with an app purchase, there are other options.
I thought some devs here dont even care about rm due to the guy whos in charge never getting back to them. (hence the reason why i wont buy the premium)
The devs don't care. And the devs have fixed the recovery (multiple times).

I hope someone develops a competing application to knock him out of the market. It shouldnt be too hard considering the terrible attitude that guy has towards support.
for all your fascinate flashing needs:

What a jackass. Snotty "I got my money" attitude combined with a totally ignorant attack on the guys who fixed his screwups months ago.
With the new CWM Red, you really don't need to use ROM Manager. It's just a pretty little interface. Everything you need can be DLed and Installed through CWM
Since, Someone has already started this on XDA. I guess i will just have to add to it so I don't make another thread that will be considered pointless and will go unread. This isn't intended to be trolling or anything, since I am giving positive reviews also. Also, if you have anything to say about it, you can either pm here or you can get on IRC and say something there, I am on there as "error"
This is in response to everyone over the whole Koush/Rom Manager issue going on right now. I am going to list some pros/cons of this whole thing going on.
Pros:
This App was easy to use and even noobs could figure it out, which was a great thing because you are new to a phone and you don't know where to go to get support over your phone(XDA, IRC, etc) then you are left there wondering what you can/can't do.
Different features that give you pretty much a full customization. You could go through everything and flash whatever you wanted, it was right there for you.
Users loved Rom Manager, they absolutely loved being able to do the things they could through it.
Starting out, there was a good amount of support behind the App. Which support will get you far with anyone, because you take the time out to help people.
Cons:
Lack of Support.
Lack of Updates.
Lack of Communication.
Lack of a Good Attitude towards those that have already paid out money to support the creator.
I gave 4 pros/cons...I am sure there are way more for each side of this, as I am sure there is also words that would need to be said, but could also probably get me in some trouble. But, everyone seems to be getting really frustrated at the lack of support now, maybe its just the Fascinate side of things. But, the way it is looking, he doesn't like some of the devs, so he could careless what is said/done with RM for our phone. Maybe I am not making a lick of sense at all and people are scratching their head and wondering why I am even putting this. But, I know some people will agree with some if not most of my points I have made.
Rom Manager is lacking a lot right now and when some of us do try to get support for the phone, we get the cold shoulder from the creator of the app. So either, stop supporting us period...or someone can make a new Manager for us and support us better. We have given our money and paid our dues, we just want our support is all.

I've seen your posts outlining what you think are bugs in the various SC versions. And I have never encountered any of the "bugs and issues" ever since I started using any of the versions of supah clean. Since you have issues others don't you should place blame on what you do after the rom flash.

Ever since installing v2.92 of super clean, I have had zero issues. The sleep of death also seems to be gone.
Instead of making general accusations, why not be part of the solution and list each issue you have so others can either validate or disprove your claims. Only then will your "tons of bugs" get any attention.
Are you really thinking *****ing about nonspecific bugs will make your device run better?
Also, get spellcheck or use an app like ShapeWriter which spells the words for you. It's just sad.
Sent from my SCH-I500
list specific bugs and issues you...better yet provide logcats...otherwise its of no help
and the vast majority of people have no issues with superclean
Are you serious? I have run nothing BUT Adrynalyne's ROM's since I even started with this stuff, and have NEVER had a problem directly related to/caused by his code. This dude puts in WORK, for FREE mind you, and does an AWESOME job at it to boot. Any bugs you have is honestly of your own doing, do some reading and search for solutions, not just bash Adrynalyne for stuff that isn't his fault.
Don't take it personal, but I'm glad the mods keep the threads on topic, or this place would end up like androidcentral. You can't find sh*t over there.

WOW can the dev's add minutes to your account?
**** I missed that update
Zero problems with superclean, especially since 2.9. I've been hammering the hell out of it trying to figure out why it seems we can't restore a themed nandroid backup without getting caught in a FCLOH at boot animation. I've been flashing all kinds of different themes, patches, and mods in different combinations without one single force close, glitch, bug, or issue until trying to restore a nandroid. But I think that has to do with cwm and not being able to fix permissions in cwm, not with superclean.
And to quote Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction - "English Mother Trucker, do you speak it?"

I know exactly what your talking about. Restore = Bootloop. Restore + Flashing the contents of system/framework from my own theme before boot = Happy restore. There is something about these new frameworks, they just don't like being backed up.
good day.
I am going to have to throw my 2¢ in here . I umderstand what the op was trying to say...i just domt agree with the delivery system. I had sleep of death issues and battery issues with every froyo version of sc. I had to roll back to dj05 eclair voodoo5 and enjoy it. I am very thankful for the devs time and devotion they put into their roms. I am glad the source is out there, but am even more glad that we have great devs that can take advantage of this code.

Been working on it for a while and only been able to consistently restore a nandroid of just the base ROM. Which is asinine because I can just flash the base ROM, reboot, boot back to cwm, flash theme, reboot, boot to cwm, flash patches and mods, and reboot in the same amount of time it takes to restore nandroid of just the base ROM. High poster over at Android Central Fascinate forum, just starting to post more here.
Have a good day yourself.
Why is it everyone thinks I'm *****ing or placing blame on adrenaline for the sc roms? The developers do great stuff. and the issues with the rom are well known and have filled the forum for months.. I have always put the blame on faulty or incomplete code from sammy. And those issues were probably the reason it took so long for release. So simply inquiring or prodding for an answer to the question "will source lead to a new sc rom is perfectly valid. I'm still not seeing why such a post is off topic, unless someone is not making the connection between the op and source. And being that the source is sammys official build. But if it will make the forum neater, when a question comes to mind when reading a thread I will make a new post instead of replying.

You didnt even state it is samsungs fault or anything in your first post. By only saying the ROM is full of bugs, you are essentially saying that it is Adrys fault. (Although the code may be from samsung, it is Adry who creates the rom).
It may be perfectly valid to say that a new source may lead to a better rom in the original thread, but it does not require you to create a brand new thread saying "Why the hell is my post deleted". You can always repost the same thing in the thread again, not create a brand new topic where you seem to be only complaining.

Your work is great. And the question was never pointing at your work. You bring great things to this phone. But as you said yourself. You make changes and they may work great on your phone but then other people have issues, weather its the phone, flash method, or an installed app.. And I'm believe my original question stated " sense people have so many issues". Which Is what i gather from reading the forums. I had sod when I tried it so I reverted.

So, the Fascinate recently had a Gingerbread leak drop..... Since that phone is our phone's brother, do you think we will get it too...... Eventually? What do you guys have to say?
Btw: I am still on Vacation for another few days... When I get back I am going to recruit some graphic artists or whatever on xda to see if they can photoshop a quick green wave, or some other color that you guys like... Because I suck at graphic designing... It shouldn't be hard for anyone interested, because they can just use the template from the original blue wave.... Hopefully xD
Btw2: did you guys see the continuum softkey topic on the front page a couple days ago? D
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
i would think the continuum would follow the fascinate with gb...however given the rather poor sales of the device (by all accounts a commercial flop) verizon/samsung just might not feel like spending the r&d on it...but im hopeful for u guys they would
I find it unlikely we even get Froyo, yet alone GB. Furthermore, I find it unlikely any developer is going to work on porting GB for the Continuum with the Fascinate leak.
Verizon isn't going to pay Samsung to update this phone. With such low sales, it's more cost-efficient for Verizon to forget about us than it is to release updates. Business is business.
Obviously I could be wrong.

it would be almost impossible to port the touchwiz leaks (froyo/gb) to eclair continuum...aosp is possible i guess...but idk
just hope for the best id think

Pretty much this. It's not going to happen. I've given up on ever getting an update. As soon as my job picks up (FINALLY) I'm selling it and getting a charge or x2 or something.
No expert here..but willing to venture
Did the update, it worked with out a glitch.. was able to root using superoneclick from xda..worked if I did not allow it to install busybox, when I did for somereason my phone wouldnt charge? Which btw adding busybox never popped up before when using superoneclick to root other androids...so far so good.. so far the changes are minimal.....a few extra settings such as font...but nice to have all the same..oh netflix works from the link provided with the leaked instructions...could be a tad scary to flash using ogdin..but it works.
Wait you updated you fascinate with this or your continuum?
I was actually just going to ask something too. If the big problem with modding is the ticker and everything else with the fascinate is essentially the same...can't I just update with this and noir have the ticker work or will the absence of ticker support just kill the phone?
I have tried before to install fascinate odin files on our phone... Didn't work xP The graphic drivers are different, so you can't see anything xP

I figured it would be a no... could we not just c/p the modules for the drivers and over write the ones for the fascinate? Sorry for asking a lotof questions I'm just horrid at programming so I can't exactly just go try it... Though I want to learn if theres any chance we could get this running from the fascinate build. Anyone know how hard that would be? Or is that even possible?

They aren't compatible. The drivers we have are for kernel 2.6.29, and the Froyo kernel is 2.6.32.9 (the .9 doesn't really matter to much) and Gingerbread is 2.6.35.x Somewhere betwee 6.29 and 6.32, there was a huge change to the kernel source, and I'm guessing any drivers built for the Eclair kernel we have are not going to work well on Froyo. The Fascinate Froyo source works to build a kernel, but the initramfs sucks, and it isn't something that is easy to troubleshoot really, and I don't have time right now to do so.
Thanks ImNuts, really. I have until about my birthday, July 1st, until I start reteaching myself programming and building it myself. Least I can do is try lol.

If you can get the kernel working, you should at least be able to get most of the system to Froyo, based on the Fascinate releases. The ticker would be an absolute no-go IMO, but you should be able to get the soft-key button images on there.
At this point I don't even care about the ticker. It doesn't work for 90% of what I want to use it for anyways. I would rather just have a phone capable of Froyo use haha.
