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.
I bricked my first Vibrant and got the new one today.
I was set to use Bionix on it.
What choices do I have besides Bionix?
Do i have to root again or can I just flash this thing?
Thanks
Sam
If you are new to flashing, I would suggest nothing other than stock until you read up on everything yourself. A lot. You should know exactly what you are doing to your phone and all the various ways to reverse those changes. You should know what a kernel and rom are, what the differences are, and why its important to have a kernel that matches your rom. You should know how to get into download and recover modes. You should know what nandroid is. You should know how to use odin at least enough to get back to the stock rom. You should know that the only person responsible for your phone is you. There I think that covers it.
The above being said, Bionix Fusion is a great 2.1 rom, and ASOP 1.1 is (in my opinion) the best and smoothest 2.2 rom out (but I really think TW's Onyx will catch up soon enough).
i want to update my vibrant. i'm a patient guy and i can wait for samsung and/or t-mobile to come out with the official release but some of these mods intrigue me. there are some variants i like. i note most don't have touchwiz.
that's a problem. i actually LIKE touchwiz. i have tried other launchers and i find myself going back to touchwiz. i'm not really into those other launchers. so here's my question- i can follow directions and install a 2.2 mod upgrade from 2.1 ji6 without an issue. how can i extract touchwiz so that i can install it after i install 2.2? and as a bonus, are there any 2.2 mods which still have touchwiz as a part of the pack?
There are several versions of 2.2 that include TouchWiz. Pretty much any of the "stock" ROMs will have it. Several of the previous Axura versions include it and both Eugene and Team Whiskey have ROMs that remain mostly TouchWiz.
You can use ODIN to flash a stock 2.2 that has root enabled... its the ALT METHOD in my noob guide.
Hello, I will be getting an Aria soon and was wanting to put the froyo rom on it. My question is, is it necessary to update the kernel and the radio or should the rom work fine without doing those?

The ROM includes those both so you should have no problem by just flashing a new ROM. I personally recommend you go for the FR008 Deodexed ROM.
Thanks, that is the ROM I am going to use.
I used Sense UI for about 6 months before I got fed up with it. I have CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Liberty on my Aria with the Gingerbread theme and LauncherPro as my default launcher. Love it. So much quicker, customizable, and efficient. Battery life has improved tremendously since switching to all this.
I like the look of HTC Sense
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.

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...
