Mods Please move if in wrong section.
With that out of the way before I get flamed I just wanted to answer a couple questions that a few have had regarding when we can see 2.2.1 on the Vibrant.
Heathen was kind enough to port 2.2.1 for us back in December but unfortunately some files are missing (most likely having to do with T-Mobile network.) We ran into a problem with getting a soft semi-boot when the signal level reached -80 dBm. That left us with a phone that worked flawless if we didn't need to go outside. Several of us have been searching for the last month or so trying to find the problem to no avail. Tonight I tried something else. I successfully ported a different 2.2.1 rom to my phone and again it is flawless, but again that is if I don't want to leave my house. Same semi-soft-boot at -80 dBm.
Now if anyone wants to jump in and give some insight as to which files need to be changed or added please do. Rest assured though several people are still trying to bring 2.2.1 to you as well as 2.3. When a stable version of either is ready we will gladly post it.

question: i have a samsung vibrant that is unlocked and using at&t and i even have 3g lol for some reason....SO, if i were to root and rom my phone (which i have done several times in the past) will it re-lock my phone
No it will not lock your phone back up. I have rooted, rommed, bricked my phone like it was my wife and it stayed unlocked. You actually have to put in your lock code for this.
Seriously, I'm usually the one who thinks people who reply to posts in the wrong section with "WRONG SECTION DUDE!" are assholes, but this needs to STOP! I see at least 5 threads a day posted her that need to be in Q & A. This is quite ridiculous.

I was looking at the t-mobile site today at the galaxy tab for t-mobile. I understand that there are certain things that we are missing because we do not have access to full Froyo vibrant build. I would assume that a Dev has looked into this but maybe not..
Would there be anything that we could take or learn from that operating system on the tab that would help with the vibrant ROM builds to get it closer to stock. drivers ect...
Any ideas on this?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Here's my dilema... My phone (Showcase) is having issues with the new CM7 and I wanted to see if it was possible to simply get a friend's un-rooted phone and do a direct clone of their Showcase to mine so that I have a working phone again. I'm getting super frustrated.
What would be awesome is a .tar for an ACS Showcase, but we Alaskan's are few and to find ones that mess with their phones is more difficult. So my hope is to just find someone's working phone and use theirs as a template to fix mine.

Hey all. Have an AT&T Captivate that came with Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it.
After someone 'rooted' it it now has what I am finding out is the I9000 ROM. (if I am not mistaken, that's for UK phones?? I am in the US.)
I have no Android marked, my 'Home button' does not work, and I can receive text messages, but not send them. (I can send text with a side-app)
At this point, I just want my old stock and locked AT&T phone back.
(How does that song go? ... 'You don't know what you got till it's gone'. LOL)
Can anyone help?
thanks
Try to post in the correct area. It'll help you get help faster.

That should be what you're looking for.
Within the captivate forum there are threads that'll help you flash to lots of different roms. Nothing's wrong with i9000. They just need to be reoriented.
Good luck!

Hey guys i just got a atrix 4g unlocked for tmobile running cm7. I do not have a data plan but i do have unlimited messaging. is there any apn setting out there that allows me to send and recieve just mms and no data other than that. how would i go about configuring my phone to do so? i would really appreciate the help. its really annoying having to toggle the data on and off whenever i recieve a picture message.

*Not trying to be rude*
Im in the same boat as you, we are both new here and i have 2 thanks overall so let one rookie tell another rookie rather than have a higher up having the fun of insulting and embarassing you.
Having a configuration would need first off root, which you said you had a custom rom so check, next something like this isnt a universal android thing so you will ger better results in the Atrix forums not android general.
And... Bumping is spam, you'll get banned and piss everyone off.
Also use search in the tools. It takes a little longer but its great.
Like i said just letting you know nicely,
yea i appreciate that...im new to this whole forum thing since most of the other mods ive done to my phone just based off of knowlege of the os and a few convos with friends...but yea thanks again
No problem.
I did a little research, and by little i mean little.
But idk how t-mobile does it, but when you get a smartphone you need a data package.
Like regular flips phones allowed unlimited txt, pics, and 15 sec videos.
But now you have a high end phone so check your bill closely.
They may be charging you (although not much because pics and just kbs in size) in the data section. Just based on my research but double check with T mobile.
