Hope all guru here could help me answer few question I'm doubt recently. I'm new to vibrant and android sorry if my question are too noob for u guys....
1) recently i had flash my vibrant to jk6 rom. I found there are still having GPS problem. Is it vibrant has hardware issues on GPS?
2) everytime i flashing new rom, does I need to ODIN it back to JFD?
3) i saw quite alot ppl talking about lagfixed. what is that?
thanks you and have a nice day...
Try using gpsrestore app in the market.that should help fix the gps issues.along with Froyo Rom.that worked for me. Before gps was non working before froyo. Try that app.good luck

So, wanted to know if there is a leaked Froyo update/Rom for the North American Vibrants? Most of the Froyo updates I have found seem to be for the i9000 model and not the t959 model! I would like the offical update but God only knows when thats going to come out! Im running Rooted Stock Rom with JI6 update and OCLF too. Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before. Any help would be great.thanks a million!

Trying to stay as close a to stock Rom as possible. Looking for a very basic froyo update/Rom as possible and would be easy to switch back to stock without to much trouble. Come to think of it.any One Click Froyo updates out there for the Vibrant T959 yet? Thanks again!

Don't know how new or experienced you are with flashing ROMs. If you're new, you will want to check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
to help you come up to speed on your options and overall approaches.
Remember, if you flash from 2.2 back to 2.1 (which is really the only "official" stock available at the moment) you will need to flash an entire ROM or Kernal. Just performing a nandroid recovery won't work and will softbrick your phone (requiring you to use ODIN to fix it).
There are about 4 or 5 2.2-based ROMS in the Developers section. Check one or more of them out.
If you are cautious, then you might want to avoid the Overclocked, Undervolted, or Lagfix kernels for the time being.
And one last thought. Some of the ROMs will not work with OCLF. So, be sure to search their respective threads. Personally, I've tried Onyx and Axura and have found that both work great without a lagfix applied and have pretty good battery life. But YMMV, so read the thread and flash away!
Thanks for all your help guys

Just want to give you this wiki as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_SGH-T959
Based on my experiences, im gonna reccomend watching some odin videos on youtube.
Ive found odin to be my favorite way to flash any rom, but rom manager can be nice as well

Watch the videos anyway because, god forbid, if anything goes wrong, you need odin to revert back to stock and try again.
Anyone have a direct download link to the unoffical tmobile froyo 2.2 leak update/Rom? And is there anyway to install it without a pc.my internet is down at the moment. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
there's a flashable version posted somewhere in the development section.
also if you flash that version.. u might need to install busybox available in market.
i couldn't go to recovery when i flashed it, at least in my case.
2am zombie mode, too lazy to dig up the link for you.
later
Ok, so the unoffical tmobile froyo Rom seems to have been removed. Clicked on the link but not showing a download link now. If its still there what page is it on?

Sorry, I know I have seen it before and cannot find a thread readily available with the answer.
I flashed Atriarc(sp?) to test it out with the new launcher from Bionix. While I enjoy the launcher there were some things I just prefer in Bionix.
Question is, can I flash Bionix(2.2) over Atriarc(2.2.1) with no issue or do I need to Odin back 1st?
Again, I know I have seen this answered but I want to be clear and cannot find the thread. This is the 1st 2.2.1 Rom I have tried and am a little green in this area.
Thanks
For the record btw, there are some really solid things in this Rom that I can't wait to be ported or tweaked out.
you should be able to I have, and had no problem, but I usually disable the voodoo before doing so. FYI I have gone Bionix to Axura to trigger to Axura, To Atriarc and never odin'd back, but then, I do not care if i brick it,
I'm not worried about a brick if it happens by a faulty install. But I would rather not head straight TO a brick as the definitive result.
Thank you
Just odin wont kill you, its a 100% guarantee

Stay away from kies anyway as it causes more bricks than its worth.

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

I'm new to the whole rooting scene but I used to jailbreak and upgrade ipods and stuff like that. I had an videos u8150 before this and it worked great roms and all. I have cm7 on this vibrant but I wanted to know is there either a way to get the stock vibrant camera flashed on cm7 cause I hate this one, or a stock 2.3.x rom with the old can like in 2.1 in the original firmware. Sorry if I post in the wrong spot I just need help asap. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

Common request.
Sorry, no, it cannot be done.
Ok thanks and sorry I'm still new here any roms with the old camera or any way to tether on 2.1? Really that's the reason I upgraded
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
give it some time. you might find that the camera app is actually more functional.
Short answer is Yes there are other camera flashes you can put on the phone, you will have to do the research I do not remember which are the best. There are some Of the Market that will flash over the CM7 Camera as well
This is being moved to Q & A...... next time if it is a questions please put in Q&A
Ok thank your for the answer and sorry will do next time I was just in a hurry for now I restored back to stock because I love cm7 but the only reason I wanted to upgrade was for tethering and when the camera changed it kind of dissapointed me. Ill ask in Q and A next time. Also is there any way to maybe rip the cam out of the cm7 zip so I can reflash and keep the old cam? Like I said im new to all of this. Thanks for the help again!

Ok so I never really cared about gps, but I recently checked and I get no satalite locks on froyo and if I do its like 3100m. Any way I can make it better? Im on stock froyo with bali kernel. Thanks

If it just started with the rom you installed, try a different rom. If a new rom doesn't fix it, search the vibrant dev board for gps fix, you will find two types, the software fix, and if that doesn't work, the hardware fix, which worked great for me. Good luck!
Edit: reread that, if you are on stock, skip the new rom part. ;-)

Hey Snake. Check out the link in my sig to a GPS fix. It is easy and I can get a lock with 8-10/13 birds down to about 10-20ft. It works really well. The whole thread is about 7 posts long so not too much reading either.
Ok thanks for the info guys and will do wood thanks.
