so what'w the difference between a kernel and a ROM? Also tell me why a few amateur programmers can get 2.3 ported to phones but big companies full of professionals can't do it?

OK I got some guts again and rooted my vibrant using the one click method, then last night I installed rom manager and installed clockworkmod, backed up my phone and installed Blackhole 1.0, which works great except vibrate does not work for some reason. I want to try a different rom but inside of the ROM manager when I go to new rom it says Error processing ROM list. Can I still download ROMs to my SD card and boot into recovery and update.zip? Did I just waste $5?

OK now my Vibrant is stuck at the SAMSUNG VIBRANT screen. I hope I didn't brick it. I tried to restore my system with clockwork. I have 2 different backups. I restored the backup using Clockwork, it took a while. Then I wiped then rebooted...this is the correct sequence? It just came to the Samsung Vibrant screen and is stuck there. I did this a few times, now I can't get it to reboot in recovery mode at all. b0nes fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jan 2, 2011 |

I have to recommend a ROM for Galaxy Vibrant users, i've been using pepperkake for a few days now and of all the roms I have tried so far I like this one the most. Batterylife (imo) for me has been phenomenal.

I have a Samsung Vibrant running Pepperkake and for the last few weeks I have not been able to search for anything in the market. Say if I search for Angry Birds, it says no results found. I have uninstalled the market via Titanium Backup reinstalled it and I get the same results. Hoping I don't have to reflash anew rom. Also if I install an app in the Market with a PC, it says installed and I see the progress bar on the phone but the app is no where to be found on my phone.

Just Odined and re-rooted/flashed my Vibrant last night to CM7. I wish all roms were like this. GPS does not work at all, which sucks because I rely on GPS. Thinking about getting a bluetooth GPS module. 3g doesn't work but that's no big deal I can stream shoutcast and check email which is good enough for me.

They say I need to download a SDK to get USb drivers because I can't get my computer to recognize my phone. I can't get CWM working correctly and within recovery it won't let me flash any of my other zip files. Not sure about your question about the imei us, it is the same as when I press *#06# Edit: If I can get it ito download mode you think it will recognise my phone?

Isn't there a company that makes a single core chip that (according to them) blows the Tegra out of the water? I remember seeing a youtube video.

There doesn't seem to be any way to stop it from intercepting my texts. I've gone to the Google Voice settings online, and in the app, but I can't figure it out. What do you mean? Did you change to GV as your voicemail provider?

Ended going back to CM7. I tried Bionix, everything was fine exept when I went to go make a call it says android process fail. Fixed permissions and rebooted, still got the same thing. GPS and everything else worked fine. So many tradeoffs I don't know why.

Casao posted:For all intents and purposes, yes, it's a perfect image of the phone. It doesn't back up radio or baseband or any of the really low level stuff. Once you've flashed one of those, you should probably not restore a nandroid with an older one, just in case there's compatibility issues. (There might be none, it might burn out your phone. So it is better to just unroot and restore a phone if you want to go back to the original rom and not use a nandroid?

I thought Titanium backup batch restore would just install my old apps at one time. I hate having to authorise each app to install every time.

Also a friend of mine asked me to root his original Droid next week. Do I need to buy an app specifically for backing up his SD card or can I just drag a copy to the desktop? This is what I have been doing for a while.

Footboy posted:First-time rooter here. When I booted into Cyanogen+GAPPS for the first time I got the "IMPORTANT: This program will only appear once and is used to search for applications on the market" screen, and hit Skip because I'd rather do that over wi-fi. Now that I've configured wi-fi on my phone, how do I get back to that screen? You aren't missing much. All it does is group the most popular google apps into one place. it's just gmail, googles, facebook and a few others. You can still get them off the market.

Stupid question: How do you restore a Motorola Droid to the factory settings after you root it and add a custom ROM? I searched for it but all the results keep talking about doing a hard reset. I am rooting a friends Droid tomorrow, going to load up Cyanogen 7 since his phone runs terribly now. I am pretty confident I can do it since I have rooted and changed the rom on my Galaxy dozens of times but this will be the first time I am rooting anything Motorola.

OK my phone has been acting weird for a while. I have a Samsung Vibrant, running CyanogenMod 7. Now when I have freshly done a wipe, the thing runs like a dream. Menus open and close with no problem, no delays or anything when opening the dialer or gallery. I can't say how many apps I have on my phone, but usually when I load about 35-40 different apps, my phone basically becomes almost unusable. I will press the dialer button and the phone will take 10-12 seconds to open up, the gallery app takes maybe 30 seconds to pull all the pictures up, or some of the pictures don't even load at all. Just horrible lag all around. But as soon as I wipe and reboot everything is smooth as silk again. I wonder if it is the amount of apps or maybe a certain app I am running that is messing things up.

If you have never used the rendering effect on Cyanogen for better battery life I urge you to try it. This is a Galaxy S Vibrant with Juice Defender. The blue takes time to get used to, but I think I have doubled my standby battery life. This is with data off. I am going to run this down and then try with edge data on to see how much of a difference it makes. Edit I forgot about underclocking. How low do you guys think I could go? As low as 100Mhz? b0nes fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Dec 5, 2011 |

woodhead posted:Any of you shits tried the ICS ports for the Vibrant? I'm thinking of installing one but was wondering if anyone had usage reports on here yet. I have it i've been using it for a week. I am never going back to anything lower than ICS. Everything works except GPS (of course) and video recording. I have gotten a couple of times where it has frozen up but they are rare. definitely stable enough to use as a daily driver. You can't charge it while it is off because it will power on again.

How do I get rid of rainbows on my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Running ICS). XDA pointed me to a faq but I don't understand what I am supposed to do. It says to flash a gingerbread bootloader with Odin. I am not sure if I need to flash it to the original Vibrant. Edit: Figured it out. Download the gingerbread bootloader file, put your phone in download mode, then flash the file. b0nes fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Dec 29, 2011 |
