as soon as the OTA for 2.2 comes down the pipe for Vibrant/US GalaxyS versions, we will no longer hear *****ing about FroYo, but it will just transfer to CM6. I can already see it. I was an early adopter of the G1, and had it until I dropped it in my toilet being a dumb drunk ass in late July. So, I had the Vibrant in early August
Personally, I'm going to wait for CM6 to release. I don't NEED FroYo, I already have the sickest phone on the market without it. I don't wanna say that the phone doesn't need to be any faster, because it can be faster. And when the possibility is there, why not? But any faster and this phone will actually scare me.

This long winded comment has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic. Way to go!
I attempted to install. Wouldn't parse. Here's the .apk if someone wants to get cracking on making it compatible.
Version 2.3
I'm pretty sure it uses some of the Froyo only framework API changes. Who knows? Maybe Google will release an Eclair friendly version soon enough.
OP, you should turn this topic into a [THINKTANK] so that it can possibly get some developer attention.

Would probably be better if another thread was created in the Development section since the majority of devs read the dev forum if you wanted to start a Think Tank.
Yea,
This is built off the 2.2 files.

By the time it does come I'm sure ill be on another carrier or at least a different phone. But in the off chance the vibrant gets froyo in the next 10 years I want to be ready. I got ji6 ota so I don't really know what kies is. Will I need to be kies-ready for froyo or will it just be an ota like it should be? If I have to use kies, where did other people learn about it? I'm not at all interested in it but I don't want to miss the main reason I paid $600 for this stupid phone (froyo). So basically, what is kies and how do I use it?
go and try our custom Froyo Roms. you might love your vibrant more.

I couldn't care less. Been running Froyo for weeks now.
Anyone know exactly how many official dates Samsung/T-Mobile have now officially failed to do this simple task that so many xda devs did long ago? Since it is clearly ready (available to rooted SGS phones) does that mean the culprit here is T-Mobile? They already have awful service and only 1 good phone. This failure seems like their death wish.
I wouldnt go so far as to say it is ready. The recent 2.2 roms are really good but they still have some minor issues like the headphone jack problem.
On twitter, all Samsung/TMO say is by the end of the year so lets just leave it at that.
BTW, that is for Galaxy UK

Coming from the GSM HTC Hero it's now my understanding that the carriers and manufacturers have ZERO incentive to rush out any update to your phone. I bought the Hero because HTC said Éclair was just around the corner, well not so fast. It didn't come all that quickly after many excuses. It took them a month of Sunday's to finally release it when their EVO was running Froyo.
This time I didn't buy the Vibrant expecting an update anytime soon so I'm not disappointed. BTW, don't expect an official Gingerbread release from Samsung.
Say what you will about Apple but at least they update the phones.
Thats why i jumped ship from tmo because they did the same thing with the original mytouch witch i haD they said we would get froyo way back in febuary then they said march tgen april and so on so back in september i finally terminated my contract then a month later they roled it out of no were i was pretty pissed lmao

So when it is official could we just Odin back to stock and upgrade legitimately through kies?

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.
That said...

From the thread on CM7 for the Vibrant:
Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.

Probably because they want to. It was their money don't worry about it. I dont know why some jump the gun to run their mouth about stuff that isnt any of their business.
I was asking as the OP on this thread because I actually use my phone as a phone for communicating and not just playing games on it.
Kinda negates having a specific phone of it locks up and or has silent calls....so if it made sense to exchange it I would....so that I could actually use the tool I bought....ya know?
I initially had the same issue. Turned out I still had my old phone powered up. Once I turned it off and rebooted all was fine.... Maybe this works for you...

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

They said Q3 in some reports.
Also, from what I read, they are trying to work out some software kinks.

There is more than a few people who will refuse to take the ROOT plunge and those are the people that will hope and pray for the next OS such as GB or ICS to come out for their phones. I understand at the same time they are posting on a site that is normally for rooted phones but I dont understand why most people have to be smartass about it. I am rooted but yet have I read a post about GB or new phone coming out and have to post a comment that does not belong there. CanesDrew wants everyone to be an expert that this point and wants a perfect world, what is a world with out the next OS or the next phone? My post got locked but it continues to get views why cause people do care about the next. I bet with ICS come out and the developers create the ROM we are going to see rooted people talking about how good everything is on this side of the fence, geez I wonder why the other side keeps asking when it is coming for them.

Eh, "gimme now" threads are generally semi annoying and tend to add nothing to the forum no matter if the OP is rooted or not. There's generally a logical reason why something isn't released yet that most of them seem to miss, whether it's a phone, os or just a rom.
Even if the OP is just being "curious," it's not like someone is sadistically holding back whatever they're hyped up about.
You also have to admit on the General forum there is really not much going on from day to day, most the the problem post having to to with develpoment are posted on the ROM they are currently using IE (CM7, OMFGB, Th3ORY). I think honestly they post over here cause it has alot of active members who may read and have heard leaked information having to do with future releases of GB and/or ICS.

I've been reading that CM7 doesn't allow 911 calls on the vibrant. I haven't tested mine (Running nightly 81, Bali 1.2, GPS Fix).
Is this true? Are the developers aware of this?
If this is true, this should be a huge red flag in any rom that has this problem. Does this problem exist on other roms?
I posted this question to issues as well:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4222
By the way, if you do want to test this, I've seen in other threads a suggestion that you call the non-911 number for your 911 dispatch center and schedule a test call. That way you wont end up with a swat team at your door.

It's not you dude. Ive noticed the last couple of months that CM7 brings out all kinds of "characters". I'll just leave it at that.
I am confused if you were upset at me realizing this bug? I know the evidence does fall upon Samsung or T-Mobile for using a custom rom. I am well aware that this Rom is experimental for my phone. Have I known about this flaw earlier, I would of used a different ron.

I remember I had to call 911 on a Samsung rom and it didn't work. Does it have to do with anything?

Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
This post contains the technical details of why 911 calling generally does not work on the Vibrant (and maybe other SGS phones) on CM7. Long story short, it's not necessarily Samsung's fault, they just implemented emergency dialing different than is done in the AOSP. That difference is enormous however because the Samsung implementation involves stuff on a low-level (i.e., radio implementation).
