Hey all,
For those of you unaware, droidxcon over on android central ( thanks for the heads up ) has been making full Odin files of Adyrn's Superclean ROMS.
Seems like he updates with each new base version too.
I've used these to get my phone working more than once now, so I thought I would share
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...tom-roms-w-root-clockwork-updated-3-10-a.html
or
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html
Thats a nice thread he has going there, thanks for the heads up.

Yup. that's the one that I have bookmarked. I like the layout of the page better too.
Does anybody know if there are any files like this for DL09? I heard that the radio got better reception, and gps seemed to work fairly well (and battery was SO much better!)

There is a stock ODIN file for DL09 that is still available, but I don't think anyone did ODIN files for the custom ROMs.
Custom kernels are where it's at for battery life. I just can't bring myself to go back to Eclair for longer than a couple hours at a time.

You can flash these then immediately boot into recovery and flash the voodoo kernel. It only adds an additional minute or two to the whole installation process.
I recommend the EC10 voodoo kernel.
OP Updated with proper credit
I needs ta learn to readz.
I prefer these Odin files. I had difficulties getting CWM to work.
Could someone please point me to a thread, or a tutorial about packaging these? I would like to be able to do that in case I use a ROM that doesn't yet have Odin files in the future.
I apologize for going off topic. I do think that folks reading this might have a similar interest though. My Google-fu was not strong enough to find the answer myself.

Sorry... I can't seem to find anything either. There isn't much development going on for darkrevenge. You might want to look into Comm rom 2.1 (kangbang) it has 8 different lockscreens. (but since you have the ec09 modem, I would assume that you already know about KB.
Maybe the really nice guy from the above post can offer something useful for ya
Or you can install widgetlocker and add it to any rom.

in general just reading the op of the rom you are downloading will tell you everything you need to know.
as to your gps woes it will be a while until the vibrant has functioning gps on CM7 (waiting on a gingerbread leak and source code as i understand it) so my suggestion to you would be to get an external bluetooth gps receiver like the ones discussed in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15466429#post15466429
I personally have the one mentioned in the op and i can tell you that it works 500% better than the stock gps on the vibrant ever did (either on eclair or froyo)

the reason that it seemed like the sky fell on you was, first you asked a question that has been asked in the thread that it should be asked in, oh about every 5 posts since cm7 for the vibrant was released.
But what really took it over the top, was you felt the need to make a separate thread about it, and even went so far as to say that cm7 broke your gps. had you read probably 3 of the last pages in the cm7 thread before posting this, you would have known you answer, and probably had you opened the vibrant dev section and viewed threads there, you'd have seen the public service announcement thread about gps not working.
I know some of the responses are inappropriate, but it's more about you felt entitled enough to make a dedicated thread about it rather than using the tools available to you in the first place to find your answer.

the answer to this question and more can be found by opening the vibrant dev section, and first reading the thread titles, followed by reading the first post in the rom your interested in, and looking for a place where they list what isn't working/broken.

Noted, I do plan on flashing another rom, but I am a little scared. I am reading CM7 is different from most roms and I would have to flash a new kernel and rom and etc to have it, but im still a little confused on how to do it
While I am also shocked you missed this... to answer your question, you may prefer a rom like Trigger 3.2. Its rock stable, has gps, and is themed well. it is not GB.
If you HAVE to have GB, try Asgard.

i'm not going to explain howto here, as the post right abvove mine has a link to a how to, you'll need to odin back to jfd before flashing any other rom besides miui.
basically all Froyo/Eclair Roms Have working GPS. The Big Name JVP Roms have working GPS. CM7/Miui and any variants of them do NOT have working GPS.
so just goto the development section and look at any 2.3.4 Roms NOT cm7/Miui and read the features and/or Changlog for full information. SGSII clone/hybrid and Simply Honey are excellent choices both based off JVP and have "working" gps. just make sure you read the op to understand how gps functions with those roms.
Good Luck.
just make sure you ODIN back to JFD stock before flashing anything else or you'll experience bootloops and thats annoying imo.
****** Stay away from Bootloaders if your new to all this as you can Permanently paperweight your phone if you flash a new rom hastily without reading and removing certain load files in the rom. *******
Well thanks guys I will look into it, If I go back to stock does that mean it will be unrooted? or just rooted but stock everything else?
second whats gb?
also I found a post that has a guide to undoing some stuff so im able to flash another rom besides CM7 ones so I might look into that one

Android Releases
Stock Vibrant 2.1 (Eclair
Froyo 2.2+
Gingerbread 2.3+
you should have a modified update.zip from rooting originally you can use that to reroot your phone and begin flashing again
Odin back to stock
3 button to recovery
update packages until you reach clockwork recovery menu then flash new rom its that easy.
if you want full functionality stay away from CM7/Miui for the time being.

you should have 3 things on your PC
Odin3 (i have V1.81)
512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
that will get you to stock.
then from there follow the 3 button method i posted above to reroot.
and to answer your question yes the guides will work fine. and again i can't stress this enough stay away from Bootloaders, as your knowledge and research about flashing seems lacking atm you can perma break your vibrant (not meaning this offensively)
Thanks man, I will try this soon =]
I just gave up my EVO which I was a pro at rooting. I am totally lost with the GS2. Is there something similar to unrevoked.com ? Who are the more popular GS2 developers? I was a Fan of Virus Roms, MikG, and Energy Roms. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rooting the SGS2 is really easy, all you need todo is flash a kernel.
Recovery and the kernel are fused together, whenever you flash a kernel you are flashing recovery, so to get CWM you need a kernel with CWM.
No such thing as S-off (unlocked bootloaders woo!)
A good guide to everything, clickme
The modem is almost unbrickable (people have recovered form flashing a i9000 modem by just flashing a new modem)
You never need to put a .pit into odin or repartition.
The current ICS leaks are unstable and not really daily drivers.

Carrier branded firmware

As far as popular roms, poke around the original android section, pretty much all the roms in there are good.

Also guys, I noticed a bug the wifi will disconnect a lot. It seems like wifi range is severely limited with this firmware.
Ryude, is this the successor to UnOriginal? I'm still running 1.4.4 but it would be fitting that your ROM is the one that finally pries me away from KH7.
I think someone else asked if they could flash Entropy's kernel, but that won't work here, right? That's meant to make I9100 bases work with the I777, so call audio shouldn't work for the exact opposite reason it didn't work the other way around. Or am I way off?

Yes, entropy's kernel WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS!!! You will have a bricked phone and have to use ODIN to flash back to stock.
This is the successor to UnOriginal, seems stable but there are a couple of flaky things like wifi signal.

So. Is this rom any good? I really need to stop flashing things. I keep nandroiding back to UnOriginal. There is a damn good chance that holds up as the best ROM for this phone. Did anything significant come of 1.4.5 that you'd post it, or is that on hold?

Sometimes the lockscreen will freeze and you have to hold down the power button to reboot. Such is the dangers of pre-release software.

Using Odin to go back to stock would probably be a best way to do it, but if you're dead set on a ROM you could look here:

Hopefully that link still works, but if it doesn't I think that Moped Ryder has a thread where he rehosted those files. You'll have to look around for it though.
Nice thing about that ROM is that it comes rooted, and busyboxed for you.

yep gud rom.. but video playback is not upto the mark in this rom...
I know your asking for a GB ROM but you should really move on, Chimera 1.1 is the future. Go ahead and install Chimera 1.1 ROM, if you don't like this ROM then something is seriously wrong. I would recommend Platypus kernel if you do switch over. Chimera comes with a custom installer with multiple options for kernels, apps, keyboards etc. The custom installer is awesome, you can literally set it up to install whatever you want and whatever you DONT want. www.team-passion.com is where you will find it, try it seriously! Worst thing that happens is you don't like it but its really the best ROM i have ever used, period. If you do install, choose apex launcer or even samsung launcher if you want the samsung look, the cndlauncher has problems so do not install it! O yea, 911 has been proven to work on chimera also, try it dude.

From what Ive read it literally encrypts partitions making odin or Jtag useless. The "fix" is actually a work around from what I see. You substitute your external sdcard for android required partitions.

The last ROM built for our phones by Samsung:

Tweaked just a little to add lockscreens, shutdown menu, and rooted.

Dude the OP asked for something else. Stop trolling every thread with Chimera, it's like recommending a very good dentist to someone with a pain in the middle finger.

Trolling every thread with chimera? I think I have mentioned it twice and one is a chimera thread. Whatever, haters are gonna hate.

I cant seem to find any change log on it. I did find this:
http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-vibrant/19-chimera-v1-1
But it doesn't indicate that 911 works. One person on a forum does does indicated that it works. Each build varies and each area varies from what Ive seen.
I have no problem suggesting an ICS ROM, but I would like to see more folks at least warning of the ICS Encryption Unsuccessful bug.

I know nothing about this bug to be honest. I saw a thread named encryption bug but didn't think it was worth reading since I haven't experienced it, knock on wood.

No to go too far off topic, but if you are running ANY ICS rom, you need to be aware of the risks of this bug. It doesn't descriminate. Just yesterday, someone Odin'd to JFD and flashed all the way to ICZen (which has been the least effected ROM) and got it. Fortunately he was able to somehow get it back to full working status, but if you are unaware to what this bug is, I suggest at the very least to make a backup of your internal_sd. The internal is what gets Encrypted and right now there is NO key and only a handful of people have come back from it. There is no solution or concrete cause for this bug.
Good Luck.

Your being an asshole, that's all there is to it. Chimera is a blend of AOKP and CM9, I figured the dude might like it so I let him know.

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going to read up on the encryption bug, sounds nasty.

Yea I hear you, I'm thinking about going back to a GB ROM myself lol. That's a very nasty bug that I want no part of.

JBQ from Google confirmed in a post on a Google group that Android will assume any partition that doesn't contain valid data or zero is encrypted:
JBQ said:
Yup, with encryption support in ICS, Android has become a lot more
picky about having all the filesystems initialized with valid data,
and mistakenly assumes that anything that's not zero or valid is
encrypted, refusing to go any further.
In Gingerbread and before, anything that wasn't valid was expected to
be invalid, and Android would just re-initialize it, regardless of
whether it was zero or not.
You're lucky you didn't have to work with Honeycomb, where zeros were
considered encrypted.

If you read the EU threads, it's obvious life goes on post-EU. I got hit a while back, partitioned an external sdcard, and then used the emmc / sdcard swap to deal with the loss of access to my internal sd. If I get hit again, it's much easier to manage the situation with a portable ext sdcard. For one person, it was as simple as a chkdsk from a pc fixing the issue without losing any data.
Everyone's risk tolerance level will vary, but the benefits / performance and dev progression of ICS far out weigh any reason for me to consider downgrading. Imo, it's nasty, yes ... yet a manageable situation as long as you know the risks (and be proactive about backing up your data to another device or cloud acct).
Since EU, I religiously keep my TiBu data sync'd in Dropbox and consciously steer towards apps with online sync / backup capabilities, etc.
Moral of the story is ... once you go thru it, it's only as painful as how well you've heeded this man's sage advice:
