hey guys. i just got my system upgraded to 2.2 froyo and was wondering which Rom would be best to flash my phone with... please advise your preference and if it is fully compatible w/ froyo. Also, if you could provide a link to where to download it from, i would be appreciative.
i have already tried axura and bionix fusion, both of which were causing problems on my system....

dont be lazy.. learn to use the search function / or go check out the vibrant bible..
I'm not being lazy, I'm trying to be smart. Instead of trial and error, I wanted to see what everyone else was experiencing so I can just DL one Rom and not 5-10.
Phone experience vary from person to person.. YOU ARE NOT going to have exactly the same widget, game, apps installed, and what not. each phone is set up differently depending on the user. which renders the question pointless.
You wont be having the same brightnes setting, data sync setting, volume setting, phone usage etc.. i honestly dont see anything smart about letting others make the call of what's best for you.

But that's not my main issue...I've come to terms with my addiction. I'm ready to live my life flashing roms after every update. I do have a few real questions though...and I don't need the answer...just someone to post a link and I'll do all the reading. There are just so many threads now I don't even know where to look anymore.
My questions:
1. I saw somewhere on a thread someone posted a badass skull icon as their "app drawer button" (I'm sure there is a name for it...so forgive me) on their dock. Well I can't find the post anymore, and I have no idea where to look. How do I install something like this? Just download an icon somewhere?
2. SetCPU - I paid for it...and I'm sure I'm not using it right...anyone got a link to a guide? I've run various lagfixes...like a Eugene kernel, but there are so many different option while in recovery I have no clue what they do. This may be two questions actually...I tend to get distracted...oh look a blue car!
3. I'm currently running the TOXIC Beta2. I like it..and I love the dialer, and the status bar...green is cool. But like I stated, I'm addicted to flashing and I'm itching to try Master's 2.1 Axura ROM. Is there a way to have this dialer on other ROMS?
Ok, that's all for now. I know these may seem like basic questions, but I taught myself to root, flash, poop, etc. all by myself without asking a million questions that you can find with a little bit of research...so I'd appreciate some helpful responses. Thanks!
Hey bro. Unfortunately I can't help with #1 or #3. But I might be able to help with #2. To use set CPU properly you have to make sure your running a kernel that is capable of overlooking. Eugene has several kernels depending on what rom your running.

Thanks man. I thought maybe SetCPU only worked with a kernel, but wasn't sure. I also didn't know if it would work with OCLF. Now I just need to know how to configure the settings or whatever.
Anyone else got any answers for #1 or #3?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know its possible to have the dialer on axura because I changed mine but you will just have to find it somewhere and use root explorer to apply it.
Okay...I'll look into that. Anyone else have any advice for using SetCPU?
I once was addicted to flashing but I flashed this combo:
Bionix Final R1
Core 1.2 GHZ OC kernel
This combo is like bottled lightning, everything EVERYTHING EVERYTHING goes so blindingly fast it's ridiculous...
Try it out it won't harm you. I used to flash a ROM almost every day or other day, now I'm using this until Onyx V6 drops.
You could play around with set cpu some. if your looking for better battery, then set it for conservative and the max at 800. Or if you set it for performance and the max at 1000, and the min at 400.
I have a similar question. Where do I download Eugene's overclocking kernel for JK2. Also what are the proper instructions for installing a kernel using ROM manager or clockworkmod?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
1. You might find it here.. and more/ look in the icons tab
2. i think this is covered
3. extract the dialertab.apk from Toxic. delete and replace axura's default
-this can be done before flashing.. delete axura's default dialer, then simple drag and drop of toxic dialer to replace.. save, then flash
-if ur already running axura use root explorer, copy toxic dialer to SDcared. delete axura's and replace. done
I apologize im still a noob to this. I figured out how to install jk2 using odin but i cant figure out how to install a oc kernel, can someone explain it step by syep? Thanks

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

Been getting over 2500 on quadrant consistently with a high of 2612. It's the fastest my tab has run so far.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!

Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
Searched the forum, didn't really find anything relevant so here goes.
Using CM9 right now to experience the ICS goodness (I know..experimental) but it happened with CM7 too which is what I would call a very stable ROM. Can't tell you if it happened with stock touchwiz because I removed that as soon as I got my phone...
At random times when I'm using the phone, it completely freezes and the only way to fix it is to hold the power button down to shut down/turn back on. I'm not doing anything particular so theres no pattern like launching angry birds, 2 minutes later the phone freezes. launch angry birds, freezes..etc.
What I thought could be causing it..
1) Something faulty in the phone.
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestions/opinions anyone might have would be much appreciated.

Possible but the least likely .
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
Again possible .
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Not heard of that one
Can anyone help me with this?

Total wipe of the phone and sd card and put a stock rom on is the only way to eliminate bad rom bad apps .
99% of the current problems are all from beta test rom ICS in some shape or form and errors are random and varied .

I know theres lots of problems with CM9 but yeah as I said it was still an issue with CM7. Mostly have the same apps that was on my old HTC desire that was also running CM7 which made me think it was a problem with the phone. I'll try the stock rom idea and see if it helps...kills me to use touchwiz though! I find it ghastly!

You CAN install other launchers so you don't have to look at the TouchWiz launcher, you know. I'm on a stock ROM, haven't looked at the TouchWiz launcher in months.
I know that but I'd rather have the latest and greatest which CM9 seems to be at the moment. All the things that don't work don't really affect me. Also I've been using the stock touchwiz rom and still am having the freezing problem so I'm guessing its a dodgy app...gonna be a long process to determine which one it is though.
steepy1 said:

Its certainly not what i would put on my phone but it is users choice .
I find a clue in the high number of help or bug posts regarding certain roms is a certain indicator for me to steer clear of. ICS has multiple error posts of a varied nature what works for one phone does not work on another .

So I'm still (and will be) on Bionix 1.3.1 and I have made my own google search bar to match my theme but I get annoyed that the market (Play) gives me the notification that there is an update for it. I don't want to upgrade to the new one which I think it looks too plain and white doesn't go with my theme. I don't want to be notified that I have a update for it either. I know if you use Titanium Backup you could remove the market link from the app but it only works temporary (next reboot and it notifies you again). I would like to know is there a manual way to do it permanently. IOW extract the app, unzip it, then remove that market link manually. does anyone knows how to do that? THX for your help.
Bionix 1.3.1 is money with bali 1.8.8 kernel. That was my setup last summer when i had my vibrant. One if the best phones ive ever had.

True, true, thats why im not on the ICS bandwaggon cuz for one I doubt Ill get this same stability as this setup no matter what anyone says...and two even if I get ICS I would probably make my screen setup and theme look just exactly how I have it now so I dont bother.....anyways any devs out there got a answer to my original question?
Well at that time we didnt have ics. Ive heard passion is really good on the vibrant.

Hi guys..
Sorry for wasting your time again..
Got a few question, jsut flashed my phone to gingerbread stock verizon..
I would actually want to ask what can i do to my phone after i root it?. i mean what will be the changes, cause i really can't understand the advantages of being rooted. they said there will be more options.
but what are those option?.. you mean i can download more apps in android market?.. am i right?..
also i have a question about the place where can we download full version apps games, i was informed about blackmart.. is that safe?..
also about the droidwall, someone told me if i rooted my phone, i can get that, and it seems to be very usefull to what she said..
Thankyou for responding to my question.
appreciate it so much..
also wants to confirm if verizon fascinate really doesn't have front camera cause im having hard time using the yahoo messenger video call only black screen
More Power Guys!!!
Rooting gives you the ability to modify your file systems, install custom roms, as well as apps that could not normally be installed on your phone. There is no front facing camera on your phone. You really need to ditch the gingerbread you ate using noe and follow the guide to get any of the android 4.0 roms that are on the site. You will understand why rooting is so nice when you are able to use one of those roms. You can install droidwall once you are rooted. If you are looking for free apps on the internet other than the play market, try using Google, it really works.

Rooting will allow you to do more to and with your phone than was intended. First and foremost for me it was being able to remove Verizon bloatware. You can install Custom Roms either Gingerbread or ICS, make tweaks to the phone that will make it run more effective and efficient. Either way, if you are going to root, the next thing you should learn about is making a Nandroid backup. This way you can always go back to where you were when you first started and then do it all over again to your liking. Have fun.
I too wanted to get rid of the bloatware. By putting on a ROM like Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) on my phone I don't feel the need to upgrade. The developer activity is very good on this phone so the performance of the roms is great.
