I just installed CM7 on my Vibrant, everything seems to be working well with the exception of a couple issues which don't seem to be addressed in the thread:
-When I reboot I have to sign in to my google account again, and the widgets say "problem loading widget"
-I don't seem to be recieving text messages(though I confirmed I can send)
-I can't install non-market apps(only tried nfs shift), nor can I install some market apps(Quadrant won't download at all)
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. TIA
Reflash.

Might be something wrong with the market.
Reflashed and it still at least makes me sign in after a reboot, will find out about texts soon enough, apps are less important.
Just in case, these are the steps I took to reflash, since I'm kind of a noob, maybe I missed something
-Reflashed cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel.tar with Odin
-Installed cm7-vibrant-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip
-Installed cm7-vibrant-update-XXXXXXXX.zip
-Installed gapps-gb-XXXXXXXX.zip
EDIT: Reflashed a few more times and got it working. Problem was I was installing CWM with the Rom Manager app instead of installing a kernal with it included, put speedmod on and now it seems to be working fine. NFS still doesn't work but it installs, and based on the reviews it's probably the game and not the phone.
Is there any way we can get the new swype update incorporated into some of the ROMs? Or do we have to download it separately?

I would imagine it will get incorporated into future ROMs or included in an update to a current ROM. But if you want it now you will have to download it separately. Before you can download 3.0 you will have to switch your default keyboard to another keyboard then using a file explorer app such as root explorer go in and delete these four files: /system/app/swype.apk, /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod, /dbdata/databases/com.swype.android.inputmethod, and /system/lib/libswypecore.so
swype 3.0 beta has drm/licensing stuff in it..so it will expire at some point if we incorporate as is into the roms (comrom/etc)
im hopeful we can get that stuff removed as was done for 2.29 that we were using in tsm roms
Okay cool. Thanks for the replies
Spent some time trying to get swype 3b installed.
The installer apparently requires the old version to be removed. So I did (Titanium). The installer went all the way through the download process, but actually installing gave me "was not installed." Gee, what a helpful error.
So I tried downloading an apk from the web and got the same error. So I tried using root explorer to install the apk manually (including setting permissions and changing owner). It FC'd repeatedly after reboot. So I removed it.
Then I tried adb install. That didn't work either. Then, realizing that Titanium didn't have a backup for my original Swype, I tried installing the v2 apk via adb, but that doesn't work either.
Ugh. Now I don't have Swype at all! Any ideas? Can someone tell me if there's a unique version for this phone or something?

Me too on the Swype problem. I had 3.0 working on the CM7 Alpha that jt built but that was a little to buggy so I switched to CommROM 2.0. Because of the way Swype is integrated into CommROM, it can't be easily replaced. Would love for someone to point me in the right direction on this.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you're not supposed to download swype beta if you have a phone that comes with swype installed. I'm not sure why but I read that it won't work.
Choose a different keyboard. Uninstall old swype. Reboot, then install new beta.
Worked for me.
Yeah, I struggled with that issue last night (getting "was not installed" with 3.0 after removing 2)... but don't fret, it turns out the solution (which I discovered by mistake) is to literally just reboot your phone before installing 3.0. Hurr.
Keep in mind you still do have to manually delete /system/lib/libswypecore.so using Root Explorer or the like after uninstalling Swpye 2 via TB -- otherwise you will have problems.
Is there an echo in here?
And I did not have to manually delete any files and everything is working fine.
I used Titanium to delete the original, then used the installer without problems. That said, I don't like 3.0 and went back to the old version.
Working!
After seeing your replies, I deleted the lib file. I also ran
adb shell pm list packages
and found com.swype.android.inputmethod was still installed:
adb uninstall com.swype.android.inputmethod
then reboot.
then used swype little installer package.
and now it works!
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Delete using Titanium, reboot, install using the standard Swype installer seems to work.
Keeps getting better with every release!!!
I had been having some issues with the latest Swype beta's auto-correction, in that when I was touch-typing for non-dictionary words (like acronyms, etc.), the auto-correction was doing its job and was 'auto-correcting'; but of course, I didn't want these words corrected! (I guess I was still operating under Swype's old rules which were when you touch-typed, it always assumed you were entering the correct spelling of whatever you had typed). So I turned off automatic auto-correct, and now I just have the word suggestion bar. This process seems to be working much better for me now.

Are there any other file managers besides root explorer that take advantage of root access?
I'm sure root explorer is good and all, I just don't feel like forking over 3 or 4 bucks or whatever for it - I don't like paying for apps, it's just one more thing that isn't a free download if you have to reflash your ROM or do a factory reset or something. Learned that lesson a few years ago with an 2nd gen iPod Touch.
That being said, there's plenty of free file managers out there, will any of them perform root operations such as deleting Swype.apk manually?
Once you purchase an app it is linked to your gmail acct. If you wipe or reflash it's still your's. Save yourself the headache and just buy root explorer.

Hi! I've been using the search feature and How Tos, but my problem is that I just received a warranty replacement Fascinate for my speaker going out, prior to yesterday I was rolling happily along with CommRom UKB, but now with ED05 already on my phone I'm not sure I want to back track... I want to try ccampos784's [ROM][ED05] PowerWashed ED05 ROM and Debloated Touchwiz ED05 ROM, and I have the zip, I understand how to flash that, but don't I need an odin file? And to get CWM or something? Should I use the ones I have from before (cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar)? and since the Odin file for ED05 is stock, not rooted wouldn't that just be a circle and put me where I am with Stock ED05. My main reason for rooting is Debinging, so... can anyone help me out here please? I think I am just confusing myself more the more I try to research....
download the powerwash ed05.zip and push to your sd
odin cwmall.tar
three finger boot into recovery
wipe data
install zip from sd
Should work fine installing over your current ed05 build...atleast it did for me.
*edit
btw the powerwash ed05 rom is already rooted/debloated/debigned/deodexed/zipaligned/go launcher...etc
Thanks!!!
So Simple and what I've done a bunch of times, I was just making it way more complicated than it needed to be, thanks for the clear "Just do this" Basically. Now I'm embarrassed that I had to ask...
I've rooted and installed roms on other phones before, but this one has me really confused. Currently I've rooted using the ubuntu guide, installed cwm-3-30fix, "modified stock firmware" found in some guide out there that said it was needed to install "latest cwm recovery" which was red 3.xx, curently still on the 2.5cwm 3-30fixall recovery. So should I go back to stock ED04? Update to ED05? Place point me in the direction to install cm7 or other rom. And from what I've read I also need to worry about the modems now? I also tried installing the rom managers recovery, then learned from another thread it doesn't work with the fascinate.

Sorry firmware is 2.2.1 according to my phone. Baseband ed04

Your question cannot be directly answered, but Ill try my best...
-flash the version of cwm that the rom you are trying to install calls for.
-I use cwm 2.5.1.x for all stock rom's and the older froyo roms
-Some newer roms require cwm3
-All mtd roms such as miui, cm7, VGB require cwm4
Read the vanilla gingerbread thread in the development section and that should bring you up to speed. I recommend to odin the verizon official ed05 package in the development section. One reason being you do not need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick. Also the powerwash ed05 package is debinged/ debloated/deodexed/ zip aligned/ rooted. Its a nice functional rom with some tsm enhancements.
Thank you for giving me a place to start! is there info on the modems/radios in the vanilla thread?

There is an app in the market that allows you to make odin backups. Its called odin maker. Haven't tried it yet though. This might be useful at some point in your endeavors.

Nice! ill have to play around with that...
Thanks Droidstyle! Now I'm on ED05 powerwash. Nice speed compared to stock. I'm very happy now.
Glad to hear you guys are happy with the ROM! Just as a reminder, the PowerWash ROM has been updated since yesterday up to beta v4 and resolves some issues. Check the main thread for more details.
Is anyone else having problems with app storage on the powerwash ROM?
I originally loaded the ROM and after restoring my backups from Titanium the phone became an unusable due to constant crashes of just about everything imaginable. Tried wiping it and restoring a few apps at a time - worked fine until I rebooted at which point all my prefs were gone and the same crashes started before I could even unlock the screen.
So, I decided maybe it was a problem with my backups and decided I'd start clean. I did a full wipe and discovered that I can't install more than about 4 apps before I start getting insufficient space errors. When I go to settings->phone storage, I still have 1.42GB free under internal phone storage.
I've now done the following procedure twice top-to-bottom, and end up with the same results:
- ODIN ED05 OTA ROM & .pit file.
- Boot into ED05
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install Maps, all 3 Angry Birds variants, Beautiful Widgets, Pocket Cloud (just a few big apps to prove there is no problem with my hardware and that it works under stock).
- Reboot & ODIN CWM.
- Flash PowerWash beta4, wipe davlik, data, cache, battery stats. Confirm voodoo is off.
- Boot into PWb4.
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install BW, PocketCloud, Maps, Angry Birds. After this, all additional app installs fail due to insufficient space.
A df from the command line shows 1.4GB free on /data and none of the other partitions are 100% full, so I don't think this is a voodoo-partition-with-a-non-voodoo-kernel problem.
As I said, I've done this whole thing twice. Apps install fine on Stock, fail on PowerWash. Nobody else seems to be complaining, so this must be an obvious thing I'm missing, but I'm not sure what. Any help?
OK, this may not be directly ROM related, but I'm not sure how to work around it. From what I can tell, every time I load the market, it must be background updating from 3.0.26 to 3.0.27. If I go into applications, wipe the data and uninstall the update, I can then go into the market and install one additional app. When I try to install another, I'm told there is no space, but if I go to the Applications control panel, I'll see that I've been upgraded to 3.0.27 again. If I uninstall the update and repeat the process, I can get yet another app, but the process keeps repeating itself.
Is there a way to either lock the 3.0.26 market version or to flash back to the old market?

Want to try this out for me? It flashes back the old market that came with ED05 stock. Flash in CWM, then once you boot up go into settings>applications> Market and clear data and cache on it to clear up any issues.

There's another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16324333) with another person having the same issue. Seems to be related to the latest market.
I had just finished doing about what you are recommending when you posted.
For reference for anyone else - Once I started searching beyond just the fascinate forums, I've found that 3.0.27 causes problems for a lot of people on other platforms (mostly apps over 30MB will fail, but others at random as well), and there doesn't seem to be a way to block the update from 3.0.26. You have to roll back to the 2.x version (which I did), and that seems to fix the problem.
I'd suggest leaving the 2.x version in the future version of the ROM and making the 3.0 market an addon if people want to experiment with it after google hammers out the bugs.
(Alternatively, people have had luck making a temporary /cache partition inside an ext4 img file, but that seems complicated and hacky to include in a ROM).
Thanks!

Actually, this might be fixed soon, since a voodoo kernel is in the making and it uses Ext4 partitions. Can't give you an ETA (and it's not my kernel), but check the couple last posts in the main ROM thread for details.
I have Vegan-tab gingerbread 7.0RC1 pershoot bl1.2.
Flash no longer shows up on my installed apps. When i search for it, It says it is not compatible for my device, google maps does the same thing too. Does anyone else have this problem too. I just noticed it last week.

Yeah, that was the only problem I had with that ROM. It seemed to always happen for me when the tablet would hard freeze and I had to reboot. Once it boots back up, anytime I access the Market, everything was not compatible with GTab.
I never found a solution other than returning to HC. It was a good ROM and that was the only prob I had with it.
Does [BL1.2]VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition v7.1.0 solve this issue?
Yes, it is much better running Vending 3.1.3.
If you have superuser rights, use AntTek App Manager to backup flash, than delete it from system (even sys application version), the Hulufied version from ASOP Ginger posts. You might need to install, update from market, remove, and install Hulufied version to stick.
Just download it on the PC..then hook up your GTab to the PC...drag the Flash 10.3 (Yes that one will work) into the storage on the device. Then download it from there.
All the apps (And there was ALOT) that shows up Non Compatible with your device in the Market...will actually work if you do it that way.
Thank you for all the responses. I went for the upgrade option to Vegantab 7.1. I am very pleased.

Thank you, Asawi. I did look on Google, I really did, but I think I was a little too specific in looking for the error that I received, rather than looking up keyboard problems.
I tried the steps in the link that you sent, but they dont seem to work. I am trying to install a keyboard called Swype, and I downloaded an APK that I am told is a beta.....I suppose that doesnt matter?
When it says alternate launcher, would Go Launcher be a good one to choose?
I rebooted several times, but the new keyboard does not show up when I run the Accessibility shortcut that I created.
Thank you so much for your help
I haven't tried Swype myself but it is discussed in the topic I linked to. Have you read the whole thing, and it's still not working?
I think I may have lied when I said I used that guide on my CM10 install. I'm not sure it was needed there. I did use it on rooted stock though. What are you running?

I have now installed Skype Beta 1.3 on my Tablet running CM10 without any problem. No special procedure needed in CM10, just install as any other app and activate through the regular settings, language and input.
Rooted stock needs a little bit more fiddling though.

I am pretty sure that I am running CM7....this is the link that I used to root my tablet:

Perhaps I should upgrade to CM10? Do you have a good link for doing that?
If you have followed that you're running rooted stock Not CM7.
You can test run CM10 by running it from sd. Very easy. All you need is here: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Thank you so much for your help, Asawi I followed the directions that you sent me, and after having a bit of difficulty with part of them (I had trouble understanding why I had to use drag and drop to modify the zip files, but I just followed the directions and all worked correctly) it worked like a charm.
I guess I WAS a little stupid thinking that I was running CM7 because one of the main topics with that OS that I was running was to block the OTA updates (which, of course, means that they are updating the Nook OS, not an Android OS)
This Jellybean OS looks REALLY nice and I am having a lot of fun working with it.....I also like the fact that it is all installed to my SD card so I still have access to the stock (unrooted!) Nook OS and reader as well......I just use the Nook for reading books, and boot to Android if I want to do anything else.
One thing that I would like to be able to do is access a couple of apps that I bought from B&N when running Android. Is that possible? If not, no biggie.
Again, thanks for your help!

Isn't that sd card awsome?! :good:
I don't think you can access the BN apps while in Android mode, But most of the freebies I checked out there were freebies in Play Store as well, so I got them there instead,
