You can get it with z4mod in the development section besides that I doubt anyone will bother with 2.1 any more so don't expect it.

So everyone knows about the leaked froyo rom for the vibrant, and I'm sure it's a just a matter of time now until one of the great devs ports it to the vibrant, but I was wondering if it was possible to flash the captivate rom to a vibrant without bricking? I know it would change the baseband and radio so I suppose the answer is yes, thanks for any help in advance.

I would not tempt fate--let one of our esteemed devs do their magic...seems like trying to run a Honda Accord powerplant in a Honda CRV. There is a reason there are different programs/roms/etc. for different phones.
I triple dog dare ya!!!
no i dare you, lol.

If you don't see now and then apps or mods floating around with people conveting one thing to another what makes you think its going to work right out of the box? Even if it doesn't brick your phone its not going to work 100% anyways.
I would't do it.
Just odined back to jfd, rooted and used oclf lagfix. Question is can I flash from this point or do I need to remove lagfix?

The two top dogs around here imo are bionex or axura. Each have their own pros and cons (barely cons). I'm personal to Axura myself, although im still on nero v5. Been getting tired of redoing my homescreens over and over again. I suggest going into the release threads, found in developmet forum, for the respective roms and taking a look at screen shots and youtube search video reviews.
You really cant go wrong either way. Check out the rom bible thread for more awesome roms.
I would defantly stick with the Auxura rom or Som's Bionex rom, Ive bounced between the two, Each rom has it's own feel, while Axura's roms are ultra fast, The Bionex rom has more Gingerbread feel and smoothness, Make your own decesion, but as the previous poster said you can't go wrong with either of them.
Just a word of advice, get in the habbit of disabling Voodoo each time you flash, I made the mistake once and ended up softbricking the phone and it was a nightmare for me getting it back to stock via ODIN.
Good Luck
Actually, if you already have voodoo installed and the rom you're flashing to also has it, you don't need to disable it. I speak from experience

This is true, but new. It has only been that way for a little while. Also it ONLY is true if you are going from Voodoo 5 to Voodoo 5 (meaning the one that has the RED recovery).

HI
I was wondering if one of our awesome devs here could make a vanilla looking froyo rom? (one that looks like a nexus one) I am running sxe.4.vanilla by heathen but its old and hasnt been updated...
It sure would be cool to have a AOSP Vanilla Froyo Rom. We had Kana and Loki (Which had a grey effect in the pulldown bar) but they were just left and never updated. With the small am/pm letters huh.
yeah....that was the biggest problem I have with Kana. It should be easier now that we have source....however, if not then someone could make a theme that is flashable?
I might give it a go

Ahem.
The latest aosp looking loki , 1.3, is kb1 based and still out there. True I've taken 2.x in a different direction, but don’t say its not updated when daily I'm tweaking things on it for the next release. Plus its got some gingerbread-ness to it now, which technically is aosp, although not what the OP is looking for, and I probably won't be going back to the earlier aosp look with the build anytime soon.

I have a same question, I could not find out the stock rom in Vibrant Bible, the build name is T959UVKB5, anyone help me!
Yeah stay away from Kies, hard bricked me, had to riff box recover.
I was looking for stock 2.2 recently too, hard to find most links didn't work.
Is there any specific reason you need stock? Most 2.2 roms now are plenty stable.

I just came from trigger cm7 14. Didnt like the battery drain and missed my GPS and wifi calling.
I LOVE the blazers! I live in Vanc and work in Portland. You think Oden will do well? Either way im glad rudy is gone
Yeah im gonna wait until stable cm7 comes out before I try it again
Yeah barring a long lockout, next season very dependent on oden. If he plays decent I see blazers doing very well

Arent we supposed to get an official 2.3.4 from samsung soon?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
First off....yes I've done alot of researching.
Thing is that there is soo much info that it is a little overwhelming.
As I understand....I can switch back and forth from 2.2 & 2.3.x and back thru cwm ....difference being that while in 2.3.x I cannot view the recovery screen but can still flash back thru cwm. And when I return to 2.2 I get recovery back so long as I haven't flashed the bootloaders for 2.3.x.
The reason im asking this is becuz I don't have a comp right now so using someone elses comp to odin back is a bit of a hassle for me.
Thanks for any and all input
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I can't speak for others but I can say personally I've done it many times without odin. I have nand backup of 2.2 on my phone. I have not installed gingerbread bootloaders. When I want to flash 2.3 roms, I factory reset and flash it. Sheree that I can't see recovery ofcourse. To switch back to my 2.2 backup, I keep kernel s like bali, overstock or any stock voodoo kernel on the phone. I use sgs kernel flasher from the market to flash those 2.2 kernel s. That puts the phone in bootloop but gives me red recovery. I then factory reset and restore my 2.2 backup. Has worked every time so far...btw everytime means atleast 20 times here.

Switching from 2.2 to 2.3 is fine, it will update as necessary.
Switching back down to 2.2, do as Alex recommended and you'll be fine.
Thank you very much guys! This was exactly what I needed to hear
Edit: wow I'm running minui now and it is going to take some getting use to....lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Actually I'm pretty sure you will need odin coming from cm7 or muiu. I don't think sgs kernel flasher will work since cm7 and muiu are all asop.

It don't work I'm stuck in miui without a comp to Odin back......what a joke :-/
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Just go to the stickies and pull all the goodies for Odin. It doesn't take that long to set up. Then you can just flash the GB bootloaders. Remember the GB BLs are backwards compatible.
By backwards compatible,do you mean that with gb bl's they work fine with 2.2?
Also I thought when on one 2.3 rom I could easily jump around to any 2.3 rom like with 2.2........but cwm is not allowing me to do this
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
You could jump around fine from any touchwiz based 2.3 rom (simply honey, asgard, malice) but not cm7 or miui
bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible, you may have an extra boot splash logo but everything works the same. flashing bootloaders can be dangerous....So i would personally recommend staying on GB bootladers

CM7 and MUIU Roms are different, you can't jump back and forth from them because they use different file systems. they are much more complicated. the only way out is to odin back to stock I believe

Odin'ing back is probably the easiest way to get back. Flashing the bootloaders CAN be dangerous, but just follow the directions and voila! Not flashing bootloaders just cause it COULD cause problems is like not driving your car cause you COULD crash and burn into a fireball.
Just sayin...
But yes, they will work on Froyo roms as well.

We were all noobs at one point in time. Just continue to read and read and search and search again. Almost anything that could go wrong with the Vibrant has most likely already happened, and is searchable.
can you go from CM7 to MIUI directly or do you need to go back to stock first?
As it appears ....you have to Odin back first
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Erm sorry mate, should ve mentioned cm7 and miui. I just assumed that its understood that you can't switch back from those without odin. All gingerbread roms have that in their first posts in no uncertain terms.

I've put my phone back on 2.2 and am going to leave it there. Having a heater in my pocket using up the battery 2x faster than normal and never knowing where I am got a little old. Mostly the battery part. If there's ever a leak, I'll go back, otherwise.. this phone's on 2.2 until I buy a new one.
