what should I do? The signal sucks, as I'm trying this I have no bars, I'm inside my house and my other vibrant, and blackberry both have 5 bars.
It rarely goes to full bars is it misreading or am I actually that low?
I have not seen anyone else complain about the signal. Have you tried to reflash?
Yes, I odined and flashed, but the issue exists
Modem? try the latest KA5 modem
What will it do? And how do I flash it? Link? I'm running JL5

What else do u want me to do? Say my signal is bad and not tell them about my rom?
The battery WAS problem, I got 6 hours max. It wasnt my phone...
This issue was fixed after I flashed nero 5 with new kernel, the old one gave me problems.
This is a question and answer section, do u want, me making threads saying thanks to all devs in here?
What if someone else has the same problem as me, what's he going to search?
-signal bad
Or
-nero signal bad
,kid.
maybe you should flash back to stock. Than flash a custom rom, before you stating something that isnt true. Me and my gf are both running nero with perfect if not better signal.

Read the first few posts.
I don't say somethings wrong with a rom without trying to fix with odin first
Let cooler heads prevail....
Lets enjoy the fact a lot of people discover nero v5 from this thread...
Ahh, better.
Yes try the New Nero V it may resolve this issues for you, Just remember, if you been going for the o.c. version there's is less battery, Personally, I have found the Axura to give me the best battery life and is generally a very stable nicely themed rom, but it really is personal choice, try them all, that way YOU can figure which works best for you.

I understand that but you'll learn one day that the way you put things makes a difference also your generalizing as to say its just the rom but that can't be cause I was on that rom the whole time it was out and never had a problem so instead of saying nero signal horrible why didn't you type why do I have a bad signal with nero? I'll tell you why cause you figured you'd be able to get an answer to your problem by naming a thread something attention grabbing it had nothing to do with search cause if you like nero you wouldn't want a search to come up with that name it's hurtfull to team whiskey not that I would expect you too care but as I stated before I like nero and team whiskey and would like to keep enjoying their roms I'm sure you'll have something to say in defense to this but if your feeling defensive perhaps you should ask yourself why I'm just saying you could have thought a little more about what it is your saying and trying to put across

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this post comes across as lazy. I used to like forums, but they strike me as so inefficient these days. I can't stand the thought of trolling through hundred-page threads and weighing contradictory information anymore.
So, here's a few simple questions I hope someone will answer to convince me to flash Nero:
The Nero V3 thread says it uses the JL5 modem. Why is this better than JL6? (that's the newest, right?)
I was under the impression that modems needed to be flashed with Odin, yet the Nero thread states that JL5 is included. It will install this on its own?
Actually, that's it. The reason I want an update is mostly due to modem glitches. I'm using my Vibrant in Canada on the new WIND network, and there are some issues with roaming and loosing connection. That's why I was concerned about only using JL5.
Thank you!
JL5 is the newest, i think you are confusing that with JI6. JL5 is 2.2, JI6 is 2.1, both are the newest respective os versions.
the modem doesn't have to be flashed with odin. nero contains the kernel and everything you need except clockwork and root.
Fantastic! Thanks a lot. I was indeed confusing JI6 with JL5!
Do it.
Never mind, don't do it. V4 is coming out soon.

It's either going to be v4 or an updated v3, read the ROM thread.
Due tonight/tomorrow.
I believe theyre working on a GB port.
Heh...here I was checking their forums and they post that on here instead. Go figure.
i know isn't that funny, but there is not sense in waiting, nero 3 is wonderful and it is SOO fast to get on your phone i wouldn't hesitate to go ahead. See my Nero v3 post for all the good it can do
nero is fast, stable, good looking, the only thing thats killing it on my phone is the battery, someone suggested a battery re-condition, what else should i do?
I'm sure you already know this but i have to remind myself from time to time. AMOLED screens are bright, colorful, and high fidelity. 90 to 95 percent of your batteries usage every day is that. NERO 3 did a fantastic job of making running everything else on absolute minimum power, but when it comes down to it. If battery is an issue, bump screen brightness down to 80 or 60 percent for big battery life increases
This rom is awesome! My roaming issues are fixed!!!
i flashed nero and had a threesome that night, WITH TWO GIRLS! THANKS TEAM WHISKEY!
Can anyone give me a great reason to flash a 2.2.1 ROM? I know 2.3 should be awesome and I'm more than willing to wait. I've been on Nero V3 for a couple of months and have never had better battery life (I'm on day 3 with 31% remaining and moderate calling in between) or stability. I'm only interested in switching if there's a great reason to. Right now the only reason I can think of, is beacuse there really is no more themeing going on for Nero and I couldn't say that flashing Bionix themes would work either. Random question to help me get through my morning here at work......thanks in advance for all of your input and expertise.

If your happy with what you have. If you have read what the other roms have to offer in them and it doesn't interest you. Then your right it's a Random Pointless Question. Here is a random thought for you. Can you back up the rom your on? Could you then flash several different roms to see what they are about for yourself? That way if none interest you then you can go back to the one your on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've used both and don't see any major difference. Flash whichever ROM you like best.
2.2.1 I9000 ROMS over Nero:
Positives:
-Able to use any I9000 Theme (there are over 30 available, all really good)
-Faster opening of apps and generally less lag
-Better GPS than Nero
-Dead Horse, DOW, Dragon kernels work with it (though they also work on Nero)
Negatives:
Wi-Fi calling will not work.
Hadn't thought much of backing up what I had and then trying something else. I also didn't think much about kernals, just UI changes were all I was thinking of at first. I appreciate your input guys, and I will keep looking at what becomes available. Thanks!
Flash away and find out what you like...roms are like sneakers--one for every occasion and each person.

Try better roms, their better because they have new things nero doesn't have. 2.2.1 is... well it feels the same because i use voodoo, but yeah. It is techinically faster.
3 days and 31%?
OH HELL NAW!
Thats like super light use lol.
2.2.1 has higher quadrants and just feels snappier too. I had darky running on my vibrant with dead horse and jfs lagfix. The phone was ridiculously fast.
Why wait, you are missing out on all the flashing fun... and headache too.
*Noob alert!!!* Ok, now that ive gotten ur attention that im a loser who lies about girls and that i dont fully know what im doing... Not just here... but in life, but i digress...
My statement and question is... Ive been doing alot of playing around on my Galaxy T959. Its been great! I went from first time rooting, flashing roms, kernels and modems.. Sucess the First try!!.. (Very Nice! #1!!) and I owe everything to everybody on here cause you guys rock... (Enough of my a$$ ki$$ing)(for now)(I think).. Anywho, I thought I flashed Bionix v 1.3.1 on my phone. After tryin kernels in this order i flashed; Overstock then Dead Horse then Dow Then back to Overstock because for some reason or another me got scared with 1.4ghz(to much pressure on my mind).. Now that I flashed back to overstock, my phone info says my "Build number" Nero v4 w/ dow 2.2.1 ... But before it said Bionix v1.3.1?!!! Wud eyes doo? Am i missing something here?
Be easy, In school my teachers said the only thing i could retain was water...
P.S. I love you but im not "in love" with you
P.S.P.S I lied, I do love you
ha, got to love an original post.
That doesn't make sense. The kernel wouldn't change the build, are you certain you were on bionix? I don't use it, but I wouldn't think they would have left it saying nero.
You've done a lot, why not just backup and try a fresh rom flash?
Ummmmmmmmm...ahhhhh...Im Prettttty sure?... Bionix Was deffinetly the last rom i flashed.. I think.. Dam it!! I have bad ADHD which is Attention Deficit in High Deff.. I think i was doing like 3245 tasks at the moment of flashing (none i finished).. And now im just as confused as a... well, i dont know... Insert something witty and funny that would explain confusion... But yeahhhhhh, Imma just gonna try a new combo anyways.. I get bored easy, just ask my 13 ex girlfriends from this past month (lies) ok, ok, ok... ask my therapist then... I know my T959 can handle 1.4ghz, Do you know of the sickest most awesome combo that would literaly make my eyes turn into steel? or something that is cool?... Thanks mang
I don't understand your question. And I can't stop thinking about naked chicks. Thanks alot, dude.
Ok so here's what happened. When you flashed DoW, it had a file in there that overwrote the same file on your ROM which identified your build. When you flashed the kernel it copied files to your phone and it had a file in there which changes the version number of the phone. The kernel changed it to say "Nero w/dow" or whatever. Simple as that. Doesn't mean you're running Nero.
Did that make sense?
^ must kernels don't change the build, wonder why dow opted to... Hence overstock not changing it back.

Ive done this aswell, dow does that and it will remain there till you flash another rom or reflash the one your on,imo overstock is better than dow,ive noticed occasional overheating,and other minor issues with dow that ive not gotten with overstock

I had this experience as well, not sure why it did what it did. My suggestion is like others reflash back to stock and flash a new rom, try the trigger, Very nice and very fast. STAY AWAY of Running in the 1.4 + speed, the phone just can't handle it without some additional go fast pills to help it keep up. And, since the go fast pills for the phone have not been invented yet, just run it @ 1.3
Good luck-a-roo
Sweet tomatoes Batman!!.. Thats good stuff...Im glad im not the only one... Well... Oh By the way... Have i told u the joke about the broken pencil... ah never mind theres no point... Walka Walka (wanna hear a funny ass joke)- new voice over Fozzie
My wife and I had Motorola XT720s and her USB borked out the other day. Our carrier replaced hers with a Vibrant and sent her on her way. Needless to say, she liked the XT720 and wants me to take the Vibrant. Since we have been on the most unholy of manufacturers (locked bootloader and no updates-yep was sold and bought on 2.1 [eclair kernal] over a year ago) I have been maintaining both our phones. We have successfully upgraded our phones to 2.2, miui, CM6/7 all with the locked bootloader and a little erseverance and a lot of adb learning.
My question is what can I do with the Vibrant and what are the better ROMs that you have? I am not affraid to get into the guts of the phone and work from that way. She just got it yesterday and when I got home, she pitched the switch to me, so this weekend, I'll root it, back up and then checkout the forums to see what is what.
Good ROMs/ Kernals (stability v experimental)?
Overclocking?
How to unlock the bootloader? I kow how on Nexus S but that is not this obviously.
Known issues with the phone in general, either software or hardware (i.e power button breaks after 2 mos. Stuff like that)
I already looked at the sticky nOOb guide for rooting. Is that update.zip the best way. Or should I use z4 or Superoneclick? I used Universal Androot before but that doesn't support Froyo kernals.
Basically, what do you like and and your opinions. The decision will be mine but I like to be informed. And I actually do like to read the threads, but we just got this yesterday and wanted to put out the feelers.
Thanks to all for your help and I look forward to the responses.
first, if your hardware locked, youre gonna havr to find the thread on how to unlock... do this FIRST.
We have several roms, they range from stable to fast and unstable
Imo, that would be froyo like bionix to cm7 respectively.. cm7 flys but its batt sucks and gps is practicallu nonexistant (not that good iin froyo tho)
There is oc up to like 1.7ghz tho my phone doesnt do more than 1.6 stable...
Also, never use kies under any circumstance and learn to use odin Well.
Thats my advice... welcome

That's great. Just the sort of thing I am looking for.
Couple of questions.
As far as OC. Is that an app or is it through a differnt kernal. I know that some kernals oc and undervolt or stock cpu and undervolt. There is an app in the market that was for Motorola that was called Milestone Overclock (I know real original right) and with that and SetCPU was able to oc my 550mhz to 1100. Is there a Vibrant app similar?
How do I tell if my hardware is locked? Once I know, then I will search the threads for that. I already saw some in here with regards to how to do it. I already got into stock recovery last night just to check and see if I could (have't put CWR in or rooted yet-will do that later on tonight). Does this mean it isn't HWL or am I completely missing the target?
Odin I assume is what RSDlite is to Motorola. You power up to bootloader, connect to PC and flash "stock" sbf files (which is basically what came in the box). I always like to have that on hand just in case. I'll google and check it out.
Thanks for the info and glad to be here.
Read the noob stockier guide. Has all the info you need. Also in the development section down load the aio vibrant toolbox. Has Odin, all the files you need. I recommend the rom bi winning V3. It has a kernel that can overclock. You need an app for that tho. I like set CPU because it has profile management for off screen, charging etc.. good luck.
To tell if your hardware locked turn your phone off and hold down both volume rockers and press the power button when you see the vibrant logo pop up, keep holding untilled it goes away then pops up again. Then let go of the power. It should boot into recovery mode. It will be black screen with blue letters that say reboot phone, reinstall packages, wipe data. It may take a few times to get the hang of it. If your unable to then your phones is hardware locked.
Okay, youce been in recov so youre not hw locked.... greggory, you only have to hold power button till you see anything oon the screen the first time... holding it after that just makes it hw reboot whivh works, but is a waste of time.
Okay OP, odin has some nice ffeatures that let you flash bootloaders and firmware both.. truthfully, you can flash ANY rewritable media in your phone except internal and external sd from.odin afaik.
Oc requires an oc kernel and an oc app... app for ocing include voltage control, which was made for samsung galaxy s, set cpu, which i dislike, cpu master, no-frills ... all of em work most of the time and i use Voltage control..
Am i forgetting tto address anything?

Ok so I've been using for a few days & I have to say the I really like this phone. Rooted and installed CWR lickity-split. Want to mess around and get more comfortable with surroundings, but have a few questions.
I dl'd Tegrak OC and am using it just fine. Any suggestions on stock kernal settings. Not applying any ROMs/Kernals for now, but setting suggestions would be helpful.
Got USB connection loop. Think I have a fix for that. Need to test some more.
Do I really have to name it update.zip to make "it" work, or can I name it anything else. Tried a few other names and they don't seem to install. Update.zip v buttermilkbiscuit.zip. why?
Does zipthemer work on this phone and do I have to name it Update.zip to make it work?
To change fonts, where do I put ttf? In settings there is a font changer, but where is the folder for that. Know it isn't /system/fonts BC that is a global changer but can't find it anywhere else. Looked in /data, /android and /sdcard. Clues?

I'll flash soon enough, just want to get my feet wet a bit. Only had phone for two days, so still picking and searching. More suggestions on ROMs/kernals, other than above?
Zipthemer is sweet. It takes all unzipped Metamorph.xmls, packages into one .zip and also creates and undo.zip too. Great themer.
There is a font changer in settings, but where is the folder to put the ttf file? /system/font is global, but looked in /data and /android and can't figure where to put it.
Just doing some house cleaning in my account and found this thread. It was my first thread in the Vibrant fora, just 5 short months ago.

The Vibrant fora wouldn't be the same experience without your participation, brother. Your ICS Guide thread (and our extensive GB BL discussion ... lol) originally inspired me to take the ICS leap (as well build the nerve to finally register and participate in threads here - ie. I was a long time "lurker"). Haven't looked back since.
Thanks for your efforts to ensuring all our Vibrant experiences stay ... well ... "Vibrant"!
That is funny. I just went back a re-read that thread. There is some good Q and A in there about all types of scenarios. Alot of familiar names too that have moved up in the ranks of experience as well.

This was fun to read, seeing Wood just entering the Vibrant community. The new guy on the block. Now look at you, you're one of the most recognized Vibrant users.
I remember my first post on XDA. I was messing around with Rom Manager and accidentally installed CWR. You wouldn't believe how much I was panicking, I thought I had bricked my phone! Lol, shows how much I knew.
Actually, that's why my name is "N00B_IN_N33D", because I was a noob who was in need of help. After I figured out how to Odin back to stock, which removed the (what I thought was) evil CWR I thought I wouldn't mess with my phone anymore. However s15274n talked me into flashing a custom froyo rom, Trigger, if I remember correctly. From there I blossomed in my understanding of Android and my Vibrant...
Anyhow, back on topic. It's amazing how experienced people have become here.

The Woodman deserves his due "respect" (but you have to say it the way AliG would to get the full effect). True Zen-like patience and an extremely rare dedication to help people. He's good peoples. No doubt!
Speaking of the way-back machine ... I can't even remember what Froyo was like. Do you? Then there's Eclair (yikes!). :what: I do remember the jump from Froyo to GB was pretty substantial. CM7 with those novel toggle bars and major speed boosts. Then ICS just took the phone to another level.
I remember the first time I rooted my phone, I was soooo damn nervous that I'd end up with a brick. I was just using SuperOneClick ... lol. The first time using Odin after reading all the horror stories here. The first time waiting through the VLF EXT4 conversion (seemed to take forever).
Been a fun ride.

The first time I flashed a Froyo Voodoo kernel, I was in my basement watching a west coast baseball game and it was late. The wife and kids were asleep and like you said, it took forever. Forgot to turn the volume off when I did it. So I am sitting there watching the game and I see the Bali palm tree. I think cool, whatever. I return to the game and out of nowhere, I hear this lady's voice. Thought it must have been the parabolic on TV picking up some lady in the stands. Then I hear it again. Kind of freaked me out until I realized it was LINDA. I'll tell ya, if you are ready for her, she'll freak you the f**k out.
Anyways, thanks for the kind words. I remember one of the many freak out, panic sessions I've had in the past and there was always someone who helped me out. Just feel it is my duty to give back. Now if I can solve this Encryption Error bug, I'll have come full circle. It is driving me nuts.
I remember one of my first threads back in 2009
It was a fake Hero ROM for G1
I bashed on two devs and everyone was pissed at me....then when I moved to the Vibrant I got a clean start

atleast your LINDA issue was panicked and gone.
I was in the bathroom taking a dump while the conversion went on... it freaked me out, and my mom thought i was watching porn in there -.-'
She then told this story at our family reunion... Almost died of embarrassment
Why ROM is the best and why is it the best. I want the fastest most stable rom there is. Please help me with this as Im trying to decide on what ROM to flash. Im super NOOBAFIED . please help and if you can explain to me why you pick the ROM your on.
I personally like saurom.

this is really a question that no one can answer except as why THEY like it.
the best thing you can do is just flash them and use them for a day or 2 and see which one you like the best.
i have ran all the roms for at least 4 days....and im using SolrisPrime now. which im am really liking at the moment.
just try them, they all have there own little things that are different, whether it be Apps, themed, scripts, toggles or whatever else that Dev wants to throw in there.
I think OP has a valid point in asking which is overall most stable.. least bugs. I'm curious on this as well as I've considered flashing a ROM but as from what I've read on them, I couldn't find any that seemed stable and fast enough to justify switching from stock.
Iblike Saurom, I'm gonna try SolarisPrime this week-end but I don't expect something alot better with Solaris than with Saurom. Personally, I make my choice on a theme I like more than on the spec.
saurom seems to be pretty stable. and if you are new in flashing like me then ...i think its good start with saurom....where you can discover new stuff without worrying about phone crashing and bla bla bla...the only problem i saw so far is that you cant turn the phone off ( atleast mine dont turn off completely ) it turns right back on... i was told to go deluxe settings and and uncheck power off.... i did that but it still does that....other then that i havent seen any problems yet....1.9ghz???? i havent seen on my phone yet but other people say that they have seen it.....1.7 on my phone.....my phone has not yet crashed or done anything stupid....you can get 3g 4g with tmobile modems...i got 7mbps on mine ( i am in bad area ) and hope it will increase when i am in good area or when i am near civilization.....hell i am in wyoming....i cant expect anything better then this....roms are like women...take your pick...they will kill you anyways...so what the heck ...be a man and take it....try it and learn how to love them and try to get the best out of it....thats all my friend....dont be scared its just a phone you are talking about...dont be scared...
A search would have told you there is no best rom. And we dont do best rom threads on XDA.
