I don't normally ask questions unless I really have to, I'm pretty good and looking up the answers myself, but I can't seem to find this one. (maybe because searching for "flash" in a forum about "flashing" roms every other post isn't exactly limited selections )
so anyway, flash. as in Adobe. What's wrong with it for the eris on froyo builds? like, what is holding the devs back on getting it working
(note: this is not a "devs r teh stooped" post, I'm not trying to insult the devs in any way. I have huge respect for them, and I know they are working hard to overcome the problem, I just want to know what that problem is just out of curiosity)
it's so hard to ask a damn question on here in fear of just getting pages of "have you heard of google?" and "if you dont like the devs, you do it!" posts...
Have you heard of Google... Lmao jk! That's a great question! I believe that flash 10.1 only works on 2.1 sense ROMS.. not perfectly may I add. The reason its not up in running on Eris froyo builds (and pls anyone correct me if im wrong) is cause their using modded 2.1 kernals, thus only replicating froyo, so there's a lot of kinks still. I Kay be wrong tho, so don't quote lol

I think Flash is only available to phones with a 1Hz SnapDragon proccessor and Froyo, but someone hacked up a version to work for us (its somewhere in the Eris Android Development section) but I heard it was slow, most likely due to our processors though.
Edit: forgot to mention that it is on available to Sense based roms because it somehow works in conjuction or replaces? our HTC Flash lite which is already included in said roms

Yup, in works in conjunction with flash light. I take back what I said about it not working well tho, cause yesterday I watched a full episode of family guy on a tv website with a tube style video player, and it worked rather well being oc'ed to 710mhz

It's not that the Eris is too weak at all it's just that we've only JUST gotten froyo. The reason we could get flash working at all on our 2.1 roms is because HTC did half the work for us with the lite flash built in.
Hey guys, while I understand that questions don't normally go here, I figured this one was ok because it hasn't really been asked before and it seems like a pretty important question. I was wondering which devs were porting the captivate froyo rom to the vibrant? Unfortuanantly, I can't code, but I'm certainly willing to donate and beta test if someone is up to the job. Fyi, I know this is already posted in q&a , I'll request its deletion.
-thanks, bobofosho123
Eugene373 is working on it. But apparently it suffers the same issues as the i9000 leaks.

I've used it, but the wifi doesn't work, there still isn't a "bug-free" enough version of froyo for the vibrant to justify me flashing it, which I've done in the past only to revert to some other 2.1 rom, all i really want is flash though...I don't care about froyo too much beyond that.
Eugene_373 tweeted he had it running on his and he would have an upload soon.
*Shrug* past that.
All I know is that I'm running Froyo_R3 on my Vibrant, and have yet to really run into any problems besides the fact that randomly the messaging app will open something else random. That got fixed with ChompSMS

Yes but the leaked builds have working gps.....
I thought wifi was still broken on Eugene's latest froyo rom, correct? Last time I flashed the froyo_r3 rom it caused my phone to spazz out and keep cycling through off and the lock screen. Has that been fixed?
GPS is going to be Broken until we get a Leak, it's not like we have source!
Linpack? Quadrant? Sad if you Depend on those score's to consider it Fast
Regarding R3, Key mapping issue & GPS is Broke, that's about it.
Regarding the ATT build, I have it running fine, but why Post it when it has the same issue's as the I9000 but worst! The key mapping could be fixed on the ATT but the ATT kernel has Sounds issue that can't be fixed as it's kernel related..

sorry about posting in the wrong section krook, and thnx for the heads-up, appreciate it man.
Yeah, until we get an official kernel source for the vibrant, porting the captivate 2.2 will still be buggy.
I had to post this because the only to working roms are the Gingerbread ones and thats it. Did all the developers stop working on their roms and moved on? or can we expect updates on their exsisting roms?
There are some really good roms out there and it seems as though the Eris is coming to an end.
Hmmm the only two working roms are the Gingerbread ones? I beg to differ....
It seems like most of the froyo roms have been updated around mid-late January.. I didn't know a few weeks was the end of our eris' lives! Your right though, in the sense that CM7 is now the new popular choice, and subsequently the most updated/talked about roms. Also alot of our devs have moved on to different phones and only drop by occasionally here to maintain their work and lend an expert hand

xtrROM was just updated to version 5 a couple of weeks ago. CELB gets updated every few weeks. My guess is that Workshed and Tazz are concentrating on GB rather than Froyo these days, though I think Tazz is still working on the Froyo Sense build.
I think that Froyo has matured, obviously Eclair has as well, and obviously Gingerbread is getting a lot of attention right now.
Tazz is still updating his Froyo rom's, workshed is still updating his Froshedyo build, punk.kaos is still updating his froyo build as well as his GB build. New themes and complete theme roms are being built for cm7 AND cm6 constantly. Just gotta check the forums frequently and watch for updates. There's actually quite a bit of action going on in the Eris forums now a days, on the CM6 side as well as CM7. Also I am about to have a CM6 rom in the works.
Tazz and Workshed are perfecting their CM7 roms at the moment but are still dedicated to their CM6 roms too. There are some amazing devs here at the Eris forums that are working hard through sickness and all kinds of personal issues to give the people what they want. The 1st post is kind of like an insult to their work. Don't give up on them, they just have a lot on their plate right now.
Oh no don't get me wrong, I love my Eris. I do like the new GB roms its basically the same style and it makes it confusing which one to load on the phone. Zenexp, Energyexpress, tenzoRCmix those roms I wish were updated too. Especially those roms with apps2sd which makes it better for the Eris being that the Eris doesn't have lots of space.
But I understand these Dev's working hard to ensure that our phone become part of the whats new in the market on other phones. I commend their hard work.
just fyi both the gingerbread roms now have app2sd and cache2cache working. also, tazz had commented recently in his gingerbread thread about working on the camera for froyo sense.
Any of the 2.1 roms have been taken as far as they can go.
The 2.2 ROMs are almost 100% perfect... so no reason to update.
2.3 ROMs make the most sense.

He doesn't seem to be. KF last update was two months ago, and his GB ROM hasn't been updated since Jan 10. I'm not complaining about it at all, but he seems to be spending a lot of time working on his Fascinate ROMs right now.
I think Conap, Workshed, Tazz, Tenzo, and Zach.xtr are the developers most actively working on Eris ROMs right now.
Not so fast, Ranger Rick! They're developing on MANY levels. The Eris is still a big deal, okay? Okay
And now there is another new dev on here..... ME ! Put up my 2.2 rom a few days ago !

Started working on a CM7 build yesterday as well and should have it done by the end of the week hopefully !!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't mean to sound like a jack, but you're right about the roms. I would love to create my own or better yet take a rom and change to my liking. But don't know how. These roms you guys make are awesome but its like I always want more and always love new updates or new roms.
I'm good with PSCS4 but not coding or even trying to create a rom. I would love to learn and create my own or mod someone elses rom. How?
I think that first learning app creation might be a good place to start, get the basics of programming down. Then try to go deeper with a ROM. Idk, maybe that's just my own idea. I personally am kind of in the process od learning Java coding to make apps and have a few ideas for apps. The developer of one of my favorite apps called Ethereal Dialpad is helping me learn. He suggested Processing. Seems easy enough.

Now I'm working on a CM7 GingerBread rom for the Eris which will hopefully be done by the end of this week. Main thing you need to do is download the Oracle Virtual Machine and install Ubuntu on it.

this is great news and I am glad to read this! My Eris was my first Android phone and I am glad to see it is still being developed for! yeah!
The Eris is still alive according to Droid Life's article. We might get an OTA update. AWESOME. I still love my phone and love creating icons and putting ideas on it. Its just that every other phone is getting more attention and the Eris is in the back burner.
I'm still keeping mine.
The update is confirmed and people are already getting it. Justrelaxing on the Android Central forums has already got the update along with a few others. Here's the page, go to post #27

There is a catch...That we can't go back to the previous (current) OS version...
So my question to all those who have already updated to Gingerbread, how smooth is it on the X10...Arc looks smooth, but then again, there might be some hardware differences...
So...are we going to be lucky or doomed???
You are the 27 millionth person to post something about the gingerbread update. We will be able to flash back with flashtool without any problems shortly after our devs get their hands on the update.

I don't know where am I going wrong in being clear, but I will try again..
For those who have ALREADY through a hack updated to 2.3, I am asking THEM how is X10 reacting to Gingerbread...
To the people who have updated it through the ROM of 2.3...AM I clear now?
Now nobody will talk...
I'm sure the 2.3 custom ROM would run differently to the update that SE are bringing out.
If your specifically trying to find out about the custom ROM - I suggest looking in the gingerbread thread in the development section.

you guys could have just answered his question.... but your too proud apparently.. anyways gingerbread runs faster and smoother than and 2.1 or 2.2 rom on X10, the stability just isn't there yet for the custom roms. I anticipate that sony's ginderbread release will be just as smooth or smoother(not accounting for any slow sony bloatware, that will likely be removed immediately by most XDA followers.)

It's not that... It's that it is impossible to know how a true firmware will run, comparing it to a custom rom is rubbish....
Also the sony gingerbread will be way different from the gingerbread versions we have as custom now.
So how can we answer something that is impossible?
Not to mention the million threads about this already.
Feel free to go blow each other in a corner though
Reading all the SE PR the 2.3 will be AOSP Gingerbread. If the kernel is updated (presumably it will) will customs ROMS be written to take advantage of it or will custom kernel be the way????
Anyway, when SE say Q2/Q3 I wouldn't hold your breath unless you have good lung capacity!!!!
Jerpelea's cm7 is gingerbread, it is very faster and snappy, the internet us very fast. it is still a bit buggy, but is rapidly improving, plus, with the future custom kernel, it will be way faster then whatever SE puts out, but once THAT software is rooted and tweaked, it will be your best choice, until the next ROM and the next after that, until our hardware can't handle it

Mate, the Gingerbird you see here is Custom ROM made from Sources. The Official Gingerbird has to be good. Until we see something we can't really say.
For your question: It's very fast compared to 2.1/2.2 . That I can tell you.
Yeah, the official SE gingerbread will be a lot different from these here.
The ones you find here are not yet all that stable, but SE will make sure of it, or elso the X10 owners will kill them, or at least make their life miserable xD
What advanced knowledge of this platform, I find digging thru this forum an impossibility. I have a Samsung Vibrant with stock FroYo 2.2 and am suffering terrible lag. It's beyond me why this is allowed to continue by the vendor.
So if I want a new ROM and/or Kernel to fix the major lag problem, I'm left wondering which is the best.
Well you kinda have to decide which type of rom that you'd want to try to use. If you want the stock rom I recommend installing the Bali kernel...it's fixed a lot of issues and gives great speed and battery life which is what I'm using.
Hopefully, you have rooted your phone before doing anything.
Bali Kernel Rocks for Froyo.
You can even try CM7 or MIUI Gingerbread ROMs.
We stopped relying on Samsung ages ago for providing any further updates.
If you want the best experience from your phone, you're going to have to take risks. But its nothing since this phone is technically "brickproof". Try installing a ROM besides Froyo, like GB or maybe a ROM that's Froyo but with different themes and tweaks, I just can't use stock 2.2 anymore lol.
Stupid Samsung and TMobile don't give a rat's a$$ about our phones or the Lag, and once they announced there will be no GB release, many devs have disappeared (though there are some new ones who inherited phones showing up now too )
For your first custom ROM...I wouldn't go with GB - it's not for beginners.
For 2.2 without the lag and some extra tweaks, try Project V - but there are lots of great ROMs out there that will help you ditch the Lag + a whole lot more. I know people who are still running Nero and Axura without problems - so you can probably just find a rom - look at the release date, and start reading the forum posts after that date. There's plenty in the noob stickies about how to root, most ROMs still provide install instructions.
Though - there are things like update of the Market, etc. - that you will need to allow extra time for during your "settling" periods...
i agree with the poster above, root your device and flash the bali 1.8.6 capped kernel. that'll convert your file system to ext4 and you'll be rocking. no need for the custom roms unless you're really adventurous.
While there is no need for custom roms I still think that you should try bionix 1.3.1 or project-v by edt both froyo roms to get a taste of what we in the vibrant community have and appreciate everyday
Bionix 1.3.1 has countless themes and project-v is by far imho the best 2.2 rom with the best speed and battery life and its always been what I fall back on when gb gives me problems. Also flash the trigger theme with it, it'll look better and bali kernel for battery

When did they announce there would be no more updates for the Vibrant. I don't remember hearing anything about that. I've given up hope that there will be, but I haven't heard anything officially.

For a first rom I would suggest something form sombionix. He was the best dev ever on this platform, and the roms are pretty much stupid proof, and more reliable than stock. anything from nero v3 to bionix 1.3 are all solid. You just need to take the way back machine and look as far back as 2009 to find them. Though his last rom thread keeps getting bumped as its just amazing and everyone keeps using it.

Well...since I only have it based on what I've seen/heard here, I should rephrase:
"Once whatever event, whether official or otherwise, occurred that caused some devs and other XDA members to commonly believe that there won't ever be an official GB release for the Vibrant..."

take a look at the Vibrant Bible:

you will find links and all kind of good and useful information about this fantastic phone.
I flash a rom almost every other day and in my honest opinion bionix roms are the most stable and perfect daily driver roms period! Make sure you educate yourself before doing anything and also have the nescesary software to save your ass in case you F-up.
