I'm guessing that a good handful of us enjoy using our Vibe's in stock config, and only wish for "good" performance with less instance of lags, burps etc. We drool over the idea of rooting, applying OCLF and such things, but don't want to risk a blowout! IE, "Add another brick to the pile".
Myself, I'm choosing to wait for the Froyo update - before committing to a root/lag fix attempt.
Can we have sum input on what might be anticipated with the 2.2 update a far as performance for the Vibe? Has NE1 managed to put Froyo on a stock Vibrant - if so, I venture that an "In House" eval would be appreciated by many
Running froyo right now. There was just an unofficial leak of the tmo froyo for our vibes, and the fixes are being ported to existing roms, and being used as source for new builds as well. Its here, and its frozen goodness. A little research (ok maybe not a little, know what youre doing before you do it, make sure you can get into recovery and dl mode, and read read read) before you flash, and soft bricks can be either avoided or easily recovered from. Check out the Vibrant Android Dev forum here at xda to see your icy opions. I prefer Eugene's Macnut myself, there are a couple of other flavors currently that are nice in their own ways, but you gotta try em to find out.
Performance wise, the stock tmo froyo leak itself is faster and smoother than eclair running oc with any lag fix in my experience. The custom froyo roms (macnut and such) are even faster, with no lag fixes applied or existing ones disabled.

I used to be all about rooting. Had a Hero when it first came out for Sprint. Loved flashing new ROMs and what not. Had CM6 on it before I jumped ship to T-Mobile and the Vibrant. I had rooted but always ended up going back to stock ROM because I like the way it looks and with launcherpro it seems to run better than Touchwiz. Ive yet to find a ROM on here that I really like. I Odined back to stock for the JI6 and Have been running it ever since.
I will probably re-root when the official 2.2 comes out but Im playing the waiting game on these leaked ROMs.
As far as the leaked 2.2 roms go, I'd have to say that I am currently running onyx by teamwhiskey, and it is awesome! It has a lot of fixes but still feels very much like stock.
You should give that a try, oh and don't worry about bricking your phone, odin is your friend and the anti-bricker!

Oynx is fugly, and JK2 is a bit too buggy and unrefined in general. It's OK if you want to try it but you'll probably go back to the smoothness of JI6. Apps install better with FroYo but the phone lags badly with any launcher for some reason. I'm waiting for the official release. I also got some odd "No Internet Connection" errors but that might be my fault.

Everyone's experience is different, and everyone's tastes are different too.
So far, it's been a smooth sailing with Onyx for me after SD_Fix.zip was applied.
FROYO goodness on my Vibrant, loving it!

Macnut R10, not entirely jk2 based but drivers to fix the gps and data issues ere ported over, not sure what else was, is not buggy at all. Running the zeam launcher, no lag. Its honestly the most stable froyo out right now, ive tried them all. Earlier ones were definitely buggy, but the new leaked files fixed all that on my phone.

Try the ASOP ROM from Anderdroid yet? I'm running that one and it's very smooth and responsive. It looks very clean in my opinion.

i take it you don't use wifi calling then? in macnut r10, wifi calling gets stuck at enabling (which is one of the reported problems in that thread).
OP: I have the ODIN froyo running on my vibrant right now. It's nice and smooth for me (and will be for you too if you haven't been running lagfixes in 2.1). I get nice battery, and nice reception. a plus for me, is i can turn off data (since i don't have a data plan) and not use battery constantly trying to communicate with 3g/edge.
The only thing i notice on 2.2, is the occasional lag. but that's about it.
Is there a limitation when installing apps? When I was trying ROM's last night and installed apps, it seemed like I was limited to about 3 app download/install at a time?

Nope, I do not use wifi calling. Seeing how that is new to the phone, I woud expect it to be buggy. The next release from Eugene shoud be based on jk2, might fix that problem. We can't really expect the new fuctions from tmo to be perfect until we get an official release.

hey guys well i am trying to figure what to do...i am not sure whats causing the problems but i am trying to figure it out....so i Use easy tether pro for my tethering purposes now ever since i updated to the leaked versions of froyo i have been having alot of problems with This app it randomly disconnects and i have to unplug and replug for it to work and sometime my phone isnt recognized by my computer and i have to switch it to another port as off right now there is one port i can not connect my phone to at all cause it wont reconize it...but the problem i am having is with dropping the connection of easy tether pro its constant and annoing i cant use the intenet i have to use my GF EVO to have a steady constant connection...
so no help
i really need help with this...
I noticed the same thing. I tried both the market release as well as a beta release I have and it just drops on occasion. Did the same thing under DI18 as well (though not as much). If it really bothhers you then send the developer an email. However, they may not want to do anything till the release version of Froyo is out, this late in the development cycle.
P.S. I only have to reconnect with my tray icon to be up and running.
Its been said many times from friends,the basic version works better,but it is limited.

@froyo... the release version has been out for a while now (my evo came with froyo) so that can not be the reason why they havent fixed it. just because the epic isnt on froyo wouldnt stop an app dev from making it froyo compatible... btw epic is poo poo lol j/k (i would have gotten the epic but sprint cut me a deal on evo
Try different Samsung drivers!
There is no "release version" of Froyo for the Epic as yet, especially in the version we are getting of 2.2.1. The Evo has 2.2.0 IIRC.
I just decided to format my HD and am loading Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I put on the EasyTether Pro after installing the Samsung drivers. Started having all kinds of problems like what was described in the OP. Decided something I had done was causing this extreme change in connection behaviour. Seems I have two versions of the "Samsung Drivers." The 1.3.850 series drivers caused all the grief. I ditched those drivers and reinstalled the 1.3.800 drivers and things are back to normal. It still drops occasionally, but nothing like when the 850 series drivers were up. YMMV
Hey everyone,
I just put the cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 on my HTC EVO 4G about a month ago. At first it was working fine, now it will just randomly restart not while I'm ever using it, but when it is sitting idle it will just restart at odd times. Has anyone else had this issue?
Everything else with the ROM is working awesome. Please Help.
No issues here, why don't you come up to date and flash the stable 7.0.3.1. Are you running any custom kernels by chance?
Here's the link to 7.0.3.1 just flash over your current rom and wipe dalvik-cache.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic-signed.zip
Oh thanks, been really busy with work, and hadn't had time to check for any updates. I appreciate the help very much. DL'ing the new ROM now.
Upgrade to the newer version. Maybe it'll help? Definitely clear cache & dalvik when you update.

I was running CM7 and went to a different Rom because of the reboots and been fine since. Tried all the usual things but phone would still freeze and reboot. Last one I was on was nightly 65. There are also a few threads around about the ROM bricking phones that it makes crash. As usual, nandroid if things don't work out.

That's non sense, bricking phones say whaaaaat. I've been running cyanogen roms since the G1 and I've never heard of cm bricking phone's. Don't let this person talk you out of cm lol.
If cm bricks your phone you're (1) an idiot, or (2) shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.

Its probably still there you just have to open a text window long press the text box and hit "input method". Once you hit input method swipe will still be there if it was installed.

I have ran many different roms and CM7 was the ONLY one that caused my phone to reboot many times a day. A quick google search can show you threads about owners who had phones that bricked after running CM7. I never said it was gospel, I just dont need my phone rebooting multiple times during the day and it was way more often when I had wimax connected. CM is a great rom but its not the second coming of Android and not worth my phone rebooting during the day.
And I am running Smooth N Sexy V1.2 A sense ROM that looks like gingerbread.
Reboots
I've been through several ROMs now and the reboot problem appears to be not a ROM issue!
Here is the story. I had started with Baked Snack, very good, but I wanted more battery and to try CM and get away from Sprint messaging update nag.
CM worked great, I updated to 7, until the reboots started to happen during heavy use of Angry birds.
So I restored to early CM 6.x, and reboots continued off and on every few days, getting progressively worse.
So I tried Warm 2.2, same issues.
I went back to CM7 and still trouble.
I went to Fresh and It was fine for a week, and then on Friday, (I noticed that Friday was significant), reboots again.
So after a month of this the reboots are so bad that I can't use the phone. I called Sprint, de-provisioned the EVO, went back to my Palm, and then unrooted and went back to Stock ROM, but with no Cell access.
The phone is stable now. As long as it's off the Sprint Cellular network!!!
All of the reboots were related to cellular activity. Messages coming in, ads being updated, calls coming in, tower switching, roaming, or worse of all, no tower signals at all.
I will post back here if the phone remains stable without cellular. But all of the research I have done on the issue has pointed to cellular access. I am on wifi and all the apps and functions are working without issues so far. I am starting a dialog with HTC to see if there is a hardware problem.
The reboots also caused heat in the general area of the SD card...don't know what else is there but I do know the cellular antennas are on that side of the phone. Leaving the battery out all night, after an off state recharge would help stabilize the phone for a while, including cache wipes and factory resets.
But once the phone had been on for a while, or Friday morning would come, the reboots would continue.
I have been a computer nut for 30+years and I solve issues for a living. I strongly suspect the radio hardware or firmware as the culprit in this reboot issue. Every other account of this has had similar connections to the radio use.
Agreed 100% , I've been rooting since the day it first became available and never bricked my phone or got stuck in a boot loop by just flashing a "rom". If I get reboots its because I either flashed a kernel or a very unstable rom. It makes me laugh that you think "CM7" is causing the reboots. You say its CM7, I say it's idiots who probably don't follow directions.

Dude its all good, no need to call anyone an idots because we all can have different experiences. Any ROM thread in the dev section has reboot posts some have resolutions, some go to another rom and some seem to be hardware issues. Just like you have been rooting since day one like I have doesnt mean that CM7 is NOT causing my phone to reboot when no other ROM does not.
Your welcome for me allowing me brighten up your day by making you laugh, dont take your personal experiences and spread them across every user like its the ONLY experience.

Im not saying cm roms make sense look like windows 95 lol, and I also don't think cm roms would keep me from jumping ship to a 4.3" iPhone 5 neither. I'm simply saying you're pointing the finger at cm being the cause I'm saying imo its 95% user error that's all. When do you hear of experienced users complain of cm (stable) causing reboots or boot loops? Don't worry ill wait....

Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.
But yet again another know it all here on XDA. Dam i must be dumb as **** to been flashing my phone since the froyo root method was released and never had another ROM give me that type of issue. The ROM is not worth me going back to the stock RUU and swapping hardware to since that seemed to be the the last variable after my troubleshooting. Not a big ****ing deal...my phone didnt agree with CM7 like I have seen a small number of other users out there. You dont see me around ROM threads always *****ing and moaning about issues when resolutions or known issues are posted on the first page or doing any other nonsense that I will guess others on here are doing that you may be referring to.
Obvious you are one of those XDA "experienced pros" that are quick think someone has no idea what they are doing with their phone. Post count doesnt mean everything bro.

You wouldn't be as much as an ass if you happen to suggest ONE resolution to the rebooting.
I've been having a bunch of GPS/nav issues. Yesterday I was driving and using the nav, and every time I made a turn, google navigation froze for about a second and thought I was still going straight instead of correctly following me around the turns. This is a REALLY serious problem when there are many successive quick turns - I've missed quite a few turns due to this BS.
On top of that, it frequently takes a long time to lock into a GPS signal...way longer than it should be taking.
I remember there being a GPS mod on my galaxy nexus... is there any similar mod for the note 3?? If that doesn't work some sensor(s) must be faulty because the phone is virtually brand new and this is just unacceptable for phone of this caliber. This has been going on since I got the phone last year.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
I'm still on stock rooted 4.3.
TIA!

Baja has a gps fix on his rom but I don't know if it'll work since your screws are already tight. I'd hate to have you upgrade especially if you really don't want to and it's the same problem.
But if you wish to see if that works check out @BeansTown106 thread here to upgrade : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726558
It's not hard but just read and take your time and follow the instructions to a tee.

I was googling the issue and there are a bunch of posts regarding GPS issues on the note 3, except none of them are on Verizon. I don't know if the carrier has anything to do with it, but according to the all posts it's some sort of software issue...apparently AT&T released an update regarding the issue.
I haven't updated anything since I got the phone, maybe one of the updates fixed this issue. Has there ever been any Verizon updates?
I'm on Verizon. I'm running stock rooted 4.4.2 and also have GPS issues. I tried tightening the screws which made no difference. Only way I can ever get a lock is by running the app GpsFix. This usually takes 5-10 minutes and doesn't always work.

Yes there has, we have an leak NC2 and the OTA NC4. It's best if you're on 4.3 to do the NC2 leak as you can roll back to MJE if you want. If you go NC4 you're stuck. You can have root and the ability to flash roms on NC4 but no rollback. NC2 for some people have had signal issues. Me personally I'm on NC2 with the NC4 modem and it's been great. There are some people on NC2 with the MJE modem, it depends on where you are and your device I guess. We do have alot of flexibility outside of being able to use custom kernels, they're trying to but nothing yet. There's alot of great guides on here and just read, read and read again before you take the leap and don't skip any steps and you'll be fine. I don't really have any more info I can shed on gps issues and I don't know for sure if upgrading will make it better for you. Maybe someone who knows more will chime in.
I'm on the NC2 leak, using NC4 modem. Nothing has fixed my gps issues. Had problems on 4.3 and hasn't been any better since KitKat.
I know it was spoken in a couple of other threads but tightening the screws under the battery cover improved my GPS tons.

At least I know I'm not alone... It's been less than a year, maybe I can get a replacement, I hope. I'll have to go to Verizon and ***** about it.
I just went on a 2 hour trip and must have lost GPS signal like 15 fkn times. Then when I do have a signal, it lags and/or thinks I'm on an adjacent road. This is UNACCEPTABLE for a phone of this caliber!!!
Hey everyone! This is the first time I ever get an unlocked phone. I am moving from a samsung s5 and when I rooted it, I saw that with certain roms (cm 13) had issues with data not working on Boost Mobile. I would always have to stick with stock rom variants which was sometimes annoying. Now that I got this phone though, does anyone know if there are problems like this on certain roms? Been awhile since I've done this since there was a lot of issues on boost

Think I might as well do it and test it. Any ROM you'd recommend?
Lineage is a great basic rom, and RR is based on LOS, but has a TON of customization.
something i did notice, is that you lose a lot of the sprint specific things on LOS roms (Update PRL, Set to Global Mode, and some dial codes)
something to think about.
Either way, you can always just trwp backup the stock, and go bac if needed
