I've done very extensive searches on this and even asked the question in the Nero V3 forum with zero help.
When I go to update my contacts with facebook I get a FC stating android.process.acore has stopped. I can't update with twitter or myspace either. I reflashed, rebooted, and I even went into titanium and did something that said it helps with FC's. Nothing.
I have a new Vibrant. I first flashed Axura 2.1 with no lagfix. I then flashed Nero V3 with no lagfix or voodoo. What can I do to update my contact list through facebook?
Thanks,
Gabe
Sounds like you've got ghosts to me. I had a similar problem when moving from one rom to another a few months ago. Simplest way to check, ODIN to stock (better than a wipe for cleaning out the cracks) and then flash your rom of choice. That should fix you right up as FB sync works like a champ for me on V3.
Also, not trying to bag on you, but for future reference, questions like this go in the Q&A section, not development.
Odin is your answer
Absolutely Odin back and start clean,,,,It's the only way to be sure. Jumping from ROM to ROM especially from different developers will undoubtably leave ghosts behind.
Also next time try to post something like this in the Q & A, no biggie, just thought you should know.
Well sometimes just a simple reflash let the rom load wait 20 mins without playing with it then reboot and play fixes the issue...sometimes it takes the phone a while to rebuild all of the file system...and if you try to install or setup things in the rom on first boot causes bugs...just a little food for thought.

Sorry about the post in the wrong place. I guess I'll figure out ODIN and go back to stock and try again. Thanks guys.
i had the same problem with Nero 3, even when I had odined to stock and then gone to nero 3, couldnt get rid of the issue, anyway as a temporary work around, you can go to settings>accounts and sync> add account, this way worked for me even when from contacts it was giving me FCs.
I thought nero v3 came with voodoo red recovery and all. Just wondering if you tried to fix permissions in advance recovery, or through rom manager ?
Might work sometimes works wonders.

Try booting into recovery, then clear cache, then go to advanced, clear delv cache, then fix permissions. Should be good after that. Kevin
Kevin,
I went to stock with ODIN. Then I put Nero V3 back on. Still doesn't work. I just followed your advice to the letter. Still no go. Any other ideas? Many thanks,

First flash I got stuck at a similar issue after VZW logo. Wiped data and cache and was able to boot but entered in to FC hell. Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

I recommend using odin and falling up's odin files. I'd link you, but my phone doesn't link.
Hello everyone. Forgive me if this is in the wrong section, but this is my first time posting. I tried to apply the Voodoo Lag Fix, and I got up to the point where the voice told me that the conversion was successful, but it was stuck at the Vibrant screen for a really long time, so I pulled the battery and tried to run it again. Now it's been stuck at the Vibrant Screen for a really long time now. Should I Odin back to stock or should I continue to wait to see if it resolves itself?
Thanks!
You're absolutely right. This should be in q and a.
What exactly is a really long time? Because like 5 minutes is normal after applying voodoo. But anyways you soft bricked it.
This happens to a lot of people by the way and you do need to use odin.
Download eugene373's froyo that doesnt brick. In odin click the repartition box and set it up and flash that.
Once done uncheck repartition in odin and set it up to flash the original jfd rom (not the ji6)
If you need instructions on how to set up and use odin search in the bible sticky thread. There are tutorials there.
And next time search is your friend. This has been answered hundreds of times.
Good luck.

Yup, no need to Odin back unless you are having major issues. Just follow the installation instructions in the thread step-by-step and you shouldn't have a single issue.

I actually just switched from Bionix 1.3.1 to Sweet Honey to try it out and had no problems flashing it. Just make sure to do it from Rom Manager as suggested in the op.
Flashed it last night, and it is working like a champ. The only thing I couldn't do is install the updated G-mail app. When I hit the install button it says it is not installed. I have the most current G-mail app from the market, but I loved the new G-mail icon and would like to get it back. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I flashed sweet honey and i have problems receiving phone calls. then i flashed back to bionix 1.3, and i had alot of FCs. then i tried B 1.3.1 and still had force closes. so now im back to sweet honey. cuz odin wont reconize my phone in download mode
Now that you mention it, I haven't received any calls yet. I tried calling my phone from another phone, and it rings once and disconnects. Did you find a solution? Anyone out there have a solution? It's kind of important to be able to receive calls. I can initiate a call with no problems.
No i havent found a solution. im still trying to get my pc to reconize my phone in download mode. my phone is really messed up lol

You two may want to send a message to Explodingboy and see if he can figure it out. I didn't seem to have that issue. My only question would be did you guys flash it like he suggested or did you just flash it through Clockwork recovery? My flashing addiction has taken me to Jellette's Atriarc rom which seems great as well.
Okay.....Here's the situation: I have the Samsung Vibrant and wanted the new 2.2, so I tried doing it myself and just couldn't get it to work. So a guy I know came to the house and did it for me. He used something he was familiar with that he got from here. The phone works fine for the most part. I tried downloading and using GPSRestore from Samsung. When I ran the app it said it couldn't because I had a GT-I9000. How can I get the phone to show what it really is? Some information about the phone: Simply Galaxy 2.7.2 SweetHoney.zsjpj - Kernel ver.: 2.6.32.9 Overstock - v1.5.1 #1 - Firmware ver.: 2.2.1
I'd like to use the app from Samsung and other app's but I am wondering if this will happen again.
Well, that is because you have 2.2.1 which is a GT-I9000 build. To fix this go into root explorer, mount system as r/w, go into build.prop as the text editor and change everything that says GT-I9000 into SGH-T959. Hope that helps!
I'm going to print this out and give it a try right now. I'll be back shortly(if I dont screw it up) and let you know what happened. Thank.

Well, I tried changing all of the GT-I9000's to SGH-T959 and after I did that I rebooted the phone. When the phone started up it started to vibrate every 3 seconds, would barely respond from the touch screen and would not accept anything from the keyboard.
At this point I thought I had ruined the phone because I couldn't get it back to the original settings. I finally got the keyboard to work by changing to a different one and got the original settings back. Where did I go wrong?

if you have gingerbread bootloaders installed and you end up odining to stock (jfd), you will notice it changes the bootsplash to i9000. You can either reflash a gb bootloader again, or simply use the odin package above to do so.

yeah
I did something of the same thing....but it froze midway thru....totally freaked me out. Took me about 15minutes to try and figure out how to reboot the phone into recovery because it kept asking me to select with the OK key....and I dont have an ok key!! Once I finally got it to boot up, it would flash the GT-I9000 logo during bootup, THEN the Vibrant logo. I flashed it back to stock via Odin again and it finally went away. Dunno WHAT I did, but it was scary!
Well, I have given up on the whole thing. I have tried twice with the same results. I'm just going to live with and expect to not be able to run apps for the Vibrant. Thanks for everyones help.

theres a gps fix i think in sgstools, could try that ??
I was able to get the build.prop thing to work, but when all was said and done the swpe keyboard no longer responded... had to navigate through the market to find the basic gingerbread keyboard... all is well now...
as for the gps fix
i was able to get the one in sgstools to "run" (before i fixed the gt-i9000 thing), but i am running a GB rom, so it still doesn't work as well as it did with froyo...
Shouldnt matter if your phone is a GT-I9000
Its still a Galaxy S
And if it says GT-I9000, its because the ROM uses a GT-I9000 Kernel or its listed as such in the Build.prop.
Most Froyo ROMs dont even need the GPS restore because the GPS is pretty damn good on them all.
Try A Toxic or an EDT ROM

Okay folks, thanks to the great posts on here, I tried one last time and it worked. I changed the keyboard first and then used sgstools which has a .prop editor in it. I rebooted and it works great now. Just have to get used to the GB keyboard now. Thanks again all.
You don't HAVE to get used to the Gingerbread Keyboard. Tons of after-market keyboards out there. I'd suggest Swype or Swiftkey X, but there are many more.
I was using the Swype and I think that was what was causing the problems I experienced. Since I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard it has been smooth sailing.

didnt restore messages from a different version did you, like 2.2.1 to 2.2 or 2.2 to 2.3
i did that coming from 2.2.1 and restored on 2.2 and my messaging force closed, if it is that reflashing would fix it

use rom mansger to flash it then reinstall packages twice in the stock blue recovery if you havent already
if you can't get CWR to work... then download a nightly, lastest or old doesn't matter i don't think message app has changed at all...
so anyways
download it.
extract apk from system/apps
and then replace on your phone..
just wondering... why are you still using stock messagning app? everyone i know has moved on to go sms pro or somthing else.
edit: oops why did i just assume u were using CM7 lol, anyways just replace the nightly up there with your rom, and do the same thing.
What do you mean, "the nightly"? (the nightly build? Of what?)
Also, I got my phone three days ago, so I still use stock messaging. If there's a better alternative, I'd love to get it. What do you guys suggest?

You can try Go SMS Pro from the market - it's really good.
Are you on the Samsung ROM? I thought you were on some other one, ignore the nightly parts...
have you done anything with your phone like flash other ROMs?
If not, there's an app called Bloater, if you search a bit on the themes / apps section you can find it, and then get the messaging app, im pretty sure it has it in there.
I'll try sms pro. I haven't used any other roms yet. I'm on the Samsung Rom. I've tried to flash clockworkmod, but it didn't work. I'll try bloated...

Well, now we know that its YOUR issue, but I'll try and help.
First of all, the stock Samsung ROM is very buggy, and will become laggy after a week or two, maybe a month.
So i suggest you switch to a 2.2, or a 2.3 rom.
We do not have OFFICIAL 2.3 from samsung so we are relying on Cyanogen, a team that makes AOSP (free of all touchwiz) ROMS called Cyanogen Mod, or CM7 as in version 7.
I'll get you started off by teaching you how to use ODIN. Odin is important in the world of flashing. ODIN will get your phone back from soft bricks, and sometimes, rarely, hard bricks- MAYBE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
that thread has most of the stuff you will need.
ignore the ROMS section and downwards, the thread hasn't been updated in a while...
Go into the Vibrant Dev. section and look at some ROMS that you like.
Gingerbread (2.3) roms do not have perfect battery life right now, but its getting to the point where its just as good as froyo.
You are on 2.1, very outdated, and since its touchwiz, it will get sooooooooooo laggy.
Root yourself with Superonelickroot program, and then get app ROM MANAGER and flash yourself a clockwork recovery, put a ROM on your phone, and then install.
First decide which ROM you want, because if it's a 2.2, it's different than 2.3.
Thats not the only thread, but I can't find the exact threads to help you out with right here...
First off, thank you so much for all that information. My phone is already rooted. I can't get clockworkmod to work, but I will try odin. CM7 was my Rom of choice in the first place, but before I'd flash it I'd like to get clockworkmod working so I can do a nandroid backup. While your here, do you know of any battery efficient roms that I can flash for when I'm travelling and such?

Battery efficent... hmm
If you're not in a hurry, I do suggest you try out CM7 WITH Glitch kernel, without it cm7 has bad battery, but i just tried it and its giving me pretty good.
If you travel frequently, Maybe Froyo 2.2 is best for you.
Now about your clockwork issue, whats the problem? any errors?
Get Rom Manager app from market
grant root access if it ever asks you.
top choice select it and then flash Vibrant CWR, BUT- AND BUT if you're going to try CM7 as I said, flash the Vibrant (MTD) their both there for choice.
It will download and flash by it self.
Now I hope you know how to get into recovery mode for now, because later on in every rom, theres a option you can just choose to get into recovery.
Anyways if you don't...
Hold up and down volume, and power button for about 5 seconds until phone turns on, and then let go, wait a few seconds and a recovery should pop up
press -REINSTALL PACKAGES-
this will replace normal recovery with the clcokwork
then after pressing reinstall packages, it will reboot back into recovery again, same screen, press reinstall packages again, now it wont reboot, but will go into a deeper version of recovery CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
there you go, now thats what it is.
Now if you will flash CM7, go wipe the cache
and then ADVANCED > wipe dalvik cache
now install zip
install zip again or choose or something
and then find your rom and flash.
there you go.
After flashing a rom, let it sit for 10 minutes, it usually lets the ROM calm down and stop setting up and it works great.
You should let me know which rom you pick, if you want terrific battery, then its froyo for SURE.
I havent been on froyo in a while, but when i did, Trigger was my absolute favorite, if you can't choose, make a thread.
Wow havent typed that much in a while.
haha
Ok, i tried to install clockwork mod and I got the following error
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation abored"
However, i found someone with a guide on how to use Odin. So I'm probably just going to use that, unless you know of a way to fix ClockworkMod.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Fixed the problem! I restored to stock firmware with odin, as i was getting a lot of problems. I'm now running Cyanogenmod 7.

are you on 2.2? because the stock 2.2 that Samsung gave was protected so you couldn't do the clockwork etc.
Yep, use the ODIN thread you found and odin back to 2.1, root using superoneclickroot, and then do what I said and then you can flash clockwork.
