[rom issue report] - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ROM ISSUE REPORTING
(UPDATE)
I have been working on the WIKI page for the Vibrant today and added many ROMs. Probably haven't got them all but figured that this will be good. Any person who runs into an issue please log it in the WIKI. I have also added Kernel's to the list. This is for anyone who has some good input to add to it. I encourage people to go in and add information as well as the DEVs to go in and update information of their ROMs and Kernels. I have made links to the Forum and individual devs websites for more information.
Please let me know what you think

So reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847624 by lotherius I decided that we can collect all the defects/issues with the ROMs that are known. Then the developers, can if they want to go through the issues in an easy way and contact the user for more information. This is to make it easier for all of us. Developers following their threads but if we can make it easier so they don’t have to go through all the posts as well I think they appreciate it. We also appreciate it as we don’t have to go through all the 500 posts to know what the issues are.
If there is a ROM that is not on here but you want to be added let me know. This is a clean slate. I am not going to go through the other threads to find issues. I depend on you for the information. If you want an issue in here you report it to me.
DEVS: If you have a comment on the issues please let me know and I will post those as well on what the status on each issue is. If you have a resolution to the issue let me know as well.
Users: If you know of a solution to problem please PM that to me and I will post it with the issue.

How to report
HOW TO REPORT
1) PM the issue to me! I will not go through every page that could be created with issues. This way we can keep this thread clean.
2) 1 sentence only to describe the issue
3) Let me know which ROM it is in the title of the PM
4) Who reported the issue so the devs can contact you if they want or need to get more info

Too much work, but good idea.

Maybe. But I'm willing to keep it updated if people are willing to provide the information. It will help everyone in the end.

WIKI update for Vibrant
So I went and took a look at our WIKI we have for the Vibrant. We had a area for ROMs but nothing in there. We may just use this for our issues. I have put most ROMs I can see being somewhat active and updated them. If our DEVS can go in and add any information they want to it that would be great.

Metamorph Themes for Lightning Eris Rom??

This might be a noob question but here it goes. I'm running Lightning Eris 3.02, which is based off a 2.1v3 leak (4th leak). I want to load some custom themes with Metamorph but I'm not sure if I can. Most of the forums I've read say that you can use their themes with CynogenMod roms but I'm not sure if this one is. The ErisLightningBolt rom (both roms created by Conap) was made from CynogenMod source and I've found MM themes that say they'll work with that rom. However, that rom is not sense based, while the Lightning Eris is.
Anyone know if I can use Metamorph? Do I have a CynogenMod rom?
If not, guess I'll be flashing ErisLightningBolt soon...
EDIT: Conap answered my question on the Eris Lightning thread. Please disregard this post. I would delete it if I could.

TMO unofficial foryo

so i kinda wanted to know what mods, lag fixes, kernels were available for the new "eugenes jk2 froyo" that so many of us odined onto our device....
so far all that ive gathered is that ryans oclf is perfectly fine to use...please let me know!
I don't use eugene's rom chet I saw on his thread he has a bunch of different kernels listed. For the rest you'll find most of your answers in the change and feature logs

That's the STOCK froyo, means it doesn't come with anything but the OS itself. So do whatever you want.

[Q] I can't find anything here Anymore!

Why is it people post all the questions in the develop thread? I've been on here for the past 3 hours looking for an oc kernel preferably JL4 with voodoo for 2.2 froyo. When I happen to stumble across one the download goes to a blank page and can not get the files. Wtf. I'm stumped. Anyone help please.
Go check out team whiskeys web site in the forum section.

OC on any vibrant specific kernels is not possible at this time. samsung hasn't released source for a 2.2 kernel. right now, the only 2.2 oc kernels are i9k kernels, which people have stability issues with and eat battery.
I believe the link is down for a bit. I appreciate your help.

Dead links to old ROMs,or alternative ROMs suggestions

Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

ICS PASSION.
Stable fast GPS works and its 4.0.3

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...

[Q] Bionix Final R1

Anyone have this rom that they can send me? I had this rom before and flashed to the new Bionix 1.3.1, because I wasn't able to access the market. However, I find Bionx R1 Final to be more stable and faster. I tried teamwhiskey's website and it appears that their website is out of commission.

that's so outdated...maybe you will have a chance if you try on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/180393771989565/
Have you tried the fishmanmod version?
It is 1.31 but has some added tweaks that make it run super smooth.

Thanks for your replies. I've decided to stick with bionix 1.3.1 flashed with Overstock kernel. Seems quicker and smoother.
Good to hear man. sometimes you can get a bad flash and all it takes is a reflash to smooth things out.
