Hey guys-
I was wondering if anybody would be willing to create an easy to install froyo rom for the vibrant that could be installed through rom manager? If it's possible and someone would be willing to take on the challenge I and many other noobs out there would be much ablidged. Thanks in advance.

CM 6 is coming. For now enjoy the great job done so far
if you take a look at other threads under this forum, there has been work at porting 2.2 to this phone. Some difficulties in getting a fully functional build. I would recommend using the search function before starting a new thread, especially when posting under development, as you'll prolly get flamed pretty heavily.

I'm totally aware there's a 2.2 rom out for the vibrant already but what I'm asking for is a much easier to install version of froyo.

It does exist. It was the international Froyo leak but it is not a complete Froyo since it is missing JIT as well as other things. That leaked ROM is incomplete and is not stable for everyday use. Especially on a Vibrant, there are a lot of bugs with it and it is not recommended to be using it as the daily ROM.
It's better off waiting for 2.2 to release by Samsung or the CM team. It's just around the corner. Be patient.

They're working on it, once Eugene has it fixed, he's going to make a flashable .zip file for easy installing. He posted this in his 2.2 thread.

Exactly - there is no Froyo rom that is much easier to install than the leaked int'l one, let alone a stable one. What he's asking for doesn't exist. There's no secret, stable, froyo.zip floating around that people just aren't talking about.
I havnt seen a single rom on here that ISNT easy to install....
just waiting to see flame city for this one, similar questions have been asked time and time again... plus this isnt Q&A forum.....

Well for anyone that didn't use ODIN as there method of rooting and who doesn't want to spend more time then having to flash a basic .zip file, than there are some harder to install roms.

I'm aware nothing like that exists yet, that's why in the original post I requested someone create one, not if there is one already.

This forum has become like a kindle box just one spark turns us all in to flames. Calm down guys and remember you have something other than your E(letronic)ego to work about. Im sure you have cut infront of a car before not trying to be rude just let this pass and answer the damn question.
So far theres not an easy way to get a fully functional 2.2 however as with anything give it time and we will see it some time.
i do believe that everyone on here wants that including all the developers working on it. if we were happy with 2.1 then we would have stuck with the original os that samsung put out for the vibrant. really did you have to ask this here? or at all? its technology its always growing. give it time!

Fair enough - my bad, OP. If it was easily doable though, you can believe it would be done. I can't dev, so I wait and watch, because the guys (and gals) that can are doing whatever they can.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to create an easy to flash Gingerbread ROM for me. I thought that I could sit home on my ass while Smeone else does the work and afterwards complain about how slow the development is on Android 3.1 Horseradish......and do it all for free.

Looks nice, thanks for the heads up.
The gentleman in the video had actually posted up a thread about it on the forum about a week ago and for some reason the admin's shut it down pretty quickly......
Does anybody know where to get the zip file for this port?

So, not sure what I did wrong, but when I try to instal OMHC, it won't allow me to. Running Gingerbread based Recovery, ClockworkMod. Is this something that can be worked around, or no?
Is it CWM 3.0?? I know a bunch of things have issues with that recovery.

Agreed. He's awesome. No ones perfect. I personally don't care about all of the drama, I just care about how the ROMs.

And back to trying toto help the Guy who made this thread. Are you using version 3.0 recovery?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
For what it is worth, I can state that this will install using recovery 2.5.0.5, as I just got done doing so.
Yep, i've reverted back as far as ROM manager allows and so far so good with backing up any ROM and flashing any ROM
As far as this Honeycomb port goes, I wish I had this on my Gtab. Obviously needs some work, but wow this is a 10 on the cool factor. Who cares who did it or not, these Dev's deserve mad respect for their time and hard work. I actually approached the dev for a port on the Gtab and he says he's been trying, but still no luck. As an owner and avid Gtab forumster, I can say that many people on the Gtab forums would consider this guy a god if he were successful on porting this over.
Everybody chill out about the drama and give props where it's due. This is awesome news and fantastic work.
Yes, it is. Is there another recovery I could use?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yea go into rom manager and at the bottom it has older recoveries use a 2. whatever one.
flashed for a little but forgot to install gapps. pretty useless right now most stuff doesnt work. along with the bad lag its also pretty hard to navigate since its made for a tablet. things are really small and the mouse has to be moved with the toggle which is a pain in the ass among many other things. might go back to it and try gapps just for ****s and gigs. otherwise useless. will be cool when the bionic comes out and a port comes to that.
Hello guys and gals. I'm excited to get my zoom in the mail tomorrow from verizon. So I'm reading up on these forums to understand where everyone is at. I'm asking if any one would would he willing to give a quick check list of first things I should do when I get it. Then I can do some research based on your feed back and get it all set up. Thanks.

Download flash player from the market , then set your browser to on demand in the settings. Get feedly for your google reader or pulse, but I prefer feedly as it's much snapier. Download plume for tablet and friend caster for tablets.

One click is to much steps(irony right?)....
Do the catch recovery before reboot method which is really simple and easy. You get root and recovery at the same time.

Play with your xoom for a while then this. I would install the tiamat rom but I don't want to wipe my xoom.
I've decided to skip roms and tiamat or whatever. Looking at threads some are WiFi version only. Then some are different firmware version. I just want stock Verizon with whatever current version its at instructions. It's just to big of a mess for me to spend time digging through literally hundreds of posts researching on what should be closed threads restarted with fresh instructions. Not 4 month old threads. I'll just root adb, use setcpu, and wait for 3.2 uupdate. Then ill join in since ill know where other people are starting from.
It really is a mess. With my Droid x it was simple. A few ways to gain root and all the Roms nicely laid out ripe for the picking. Instruction clearly labled if you have firmware xxx do this, xxy do this. No wonder people are afraid to root. I am, now.

Ok I can't quit that easy. Looked at xoomforums. I think my whole problem was forum layout. Viewing this forum on their premium app jumbled everything together. Seeing everything laid out rom, kernels, ect, much easier. I'll go with launchpad 1.3 then try tiamat. At least I don't feel lost. As long I'm not browsing through their app.

There you go. That's what a productive person does, finds ways and doesn't sit and cry.
Firstly, let me introduce myself! I'm pixdev (Jamie), web/game developer and one of the developers over at RA-Mod (I did the website).
What is RA-Mod?
RA-Mod is a custom CM7-based ROM designed to be socially-aware, beautiful, fast and powerful - yet simple to use. We offer a tightly integrated package, with a custom launcher, reworked UI's, extended device settings and a Software Centre called Pyramid, giving you access to the latest themes, tweaks and apps. Consider it CyanogenMod for the rest of us!
Why are you telling me this?
RA-Mod is currently being developed for the Samsung Galaxy 3 (XDA link), which I own. While working on RA-Mod, we thought it would be a good idea to expand RA-Mod to other devices and I remembered that I still had my first Android phone, the LG Optimus GT540, lying around somewhere...
I then messaged Dympy (RA-Mod founder), asking if he wanted a GT540 port - I think you can guess the reply...
OSSIM! What happens now?
It would really help me out if I knew who wants RA-Mod for the GT540, so I can judge if the port is viable or not. Before I even commit to the port, I want to make it known I have schoolwork etc., so I cannot guarantee ETAs etc. However, I'll try my best to get it out as soon as possible...
I haven't looked in the GT540 forums for a while, so I don't know the current state of ROMs on here. I understand there is a fully-working CM7 port - does anyone know if this is open to people modifying and redistributing (like the G3 CM7 port)? I don't want to tread on anybody's toes by using their work when they don't want me to. Of course, I'll fully credit the author(s?) of it

Nice stuff, but unless we'll have drivers there will be many bugs...
is not just about new drivers, is a question about how to fix it without source access.
If some things i heard are true, once a device gets ICS, wont be hard of it getting JB on it either.
Edit:
it still a challenge tho, port a SDK system dump, or the GN's. may the Tech Gods watch over us in this quest.(lol)
SDK ports have never worked well. Source codes + proper drivers on the other hand...

I wasn't saying it can't be done, just that it won't run as well as one built from source. But by all means, please do try. If anything, the experience of getting it to run (or not) might help once the sources are out, not to mention the fun in trying.
