Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.

The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.

There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant

What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

Do Nand backup, Odin to stock, flash bootloaders, flash cm7 and restore nand backup.

You will *NOT* be able to use your external SD ardent if you're on gb bootloaders.
To get froyo bootloaders, make a nandroid (if you have it setup the way you want right now), Odin back to jfd, Odin froyo bootloaders, reflash CM7, restore nandroid.
And, external sdcard is located at /emmc now, instead of the froyo (and miui) location of /sdcard/external_sd.

Very good advice, I'm running miui version 1.9.16 with glitch kernel and is super stable for me and I love it, however generally speaking pry not as stable/everything works as powerwashed GB.

You have to flash a gingerbread bootloader, they're in the dev section...

I have GB bootloader already. If I odin the bootloader while Im on Simply Stock JVT will I have to flash the ROM over?

If you want the i900 gone you'll have to flash back to froyo boot loaders, but then you will have rainbows on your 2.3 ROM

Development section, page 2, Custom gingerbread bootloaders for vibrant. Read the op, but flashing bootloaders via odin is verrrry dangerous. Id probly just leave it alone, getting the fail message after flashing will get your heart beating.
I think its best I leave it alone until im ready to do more flashing. It does really bother me though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
If you read the bootloader op there is a jfd file that i think takes the i9000 logo off and back to vibrant. I dont know this for a fact but maybe someone else has done this, and could confirm. Its between gingerbread and froyo on the zip download link. Be sure
From a newly rooted eclair 2.1, can I safely flash 2.3 miui rom variants without flashing the overstock kernel 1.5 from Miui Guide stickies assuming I already flashed CWR via ROM Manager?

Yes. You should... Not sure why you wouldn't use the method in my guide though. It's a much quicker process...

After much thought regarding the 911 issue with CM7, I have decided to downgrade back to 2.2. Although 2.2 is outdated, it has a better GPS, battery life, and working 911.
What I want to know is how can I wipe everything before downgrading back to stock? This includes all music and various files left around by me throughout the years. I also want to know what the best kernel for 2.2 is in terms of battery life or should I leave it as stock?

format internal and external sd card under mounts and storage in recovery. Bali kernel
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
I don't think formatting will work because the recovery is updated and trying to install and older 2.2 ROM will complain about broken scripts in CWM. You may have to Odin back if I I'm not mistaken.

sorry, and not just my opinion, when you start over start clean and odin to stock, 'ghost in the machine', its real

Yep thanks for the help guys. Now I'm on the process of getting Bali on here as a kernel but I don't know which one to pick. The reguler release or the UV or undervolt release.
