Probably not until Samsung gives us a proper Gingerbread build.

you think when we get a proper samsung build, well get wifi calling on CM7 too???

More than likely no, since wifi calling also relies on proprietary stuff.in the Samsung frameworks.
Also, more than likely a definite no until someone who owns a vibrant starts deving for CM7.

That thread's dealing with the GT-I9000. Not sure how much help it would be for us T-Mo Vibrant owners. Seems all the ROMs have a problem with this. Even some that say they've got it working have taken it out because of FC issues. If anyone gets it right, I may have to switch from CM7. Used wi-fi calling a lot since T-Mo made it a free feature that DIDN'T eat package minutes!

That may be the case, but I suggest you check out at least these two roms. Both are running on our Vibrants and both feature working wifi calling (I've used both in the past week and can personally attest to this fact).

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.

From the thread on CM7 for the Vibrant:
Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.

I'm aware that there are TONS of Gingerbread roms. But the thing that has been keeping me back from flashing is that GPS is broken. Does anyone know of any ROM that has working GPS in GB??
If there was a working GPS for TB,all but the CM7 builds would have GPS in the list of working features.

Probably because they want to. It was their money don't worry about it. I dont know why some jump the gun to run their mouth about stuff that isnt any of their business.
I was asking as the OP on this thread because I actually use my phone as a phone for communicating and not just playing games on it.
Kinda negates having a specific phone of it locks up and or has silent calls....so if it made sense to exchange it I would....so that I could actually use the tool I bought....ya know?
I initially had the same issue. Turned out I still had my old phone powered up. Once I turned it off and rebooted all was fine.... Maybe this works for you...

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

I've been reading that CM7 doesn't allow 911 calls on the vibrant. I haven't tested mine (Running nightly 81, Bali 1.2, GPS Fix).
Is this true? Are the developers aware of this?
If this is true, this should be a huge red flag in any rom that has this problem. Does this problem exist on other roms?
I posted this question to issues as well:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4222
By the way, if you do want to test this, I've seen in other threads a suggestion that you call the non-911 number for your 911 dispatch center and schedule a test call. That way you wont end up with a swat team at your door.

It's not you dude. Ive noticed the last couple of months that CM7 brings out all kinds of "characters". I'll just leave it at that.
I am confused if you were upset at me realizing this bug? I know the evidence does fall upon Samsung or T-Mobile for using a custom rom. I am well aware that this Rom is experimental for my phone. Have I known about this flaw earlier, I would of used a different ron.

I remember I had to call 911 on a Samsung rom and it didn't work. Does it have to do with anything?
I called 911 "by accident" for the hell of it, and it worked fine. It must depend on the carrier/area.
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
This post contains the technical details of why 911 calling generally does not work on the Vibrant (and maybe other SGS phones) on CM7. Long story short, it's not necessarily Samsung's fault, they just implemented emergency dialing different than is done in the AOSP. That difference is enormous however because the Samsung implementation involves stuff on a low-level (i.e., radio implementation).
The problem is that I can't get data to work for the life of me.
I assume this can be done with a VPN backup/restore, however I have not tried it.
Maybe the problem is that I'm using CM files as a base instead of AOSP?
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, as IRC hasn't been too helpful.
Thanks!
EDIT- I got it running by using the information in the i9505/international thread. The VPN restore idea is from the Sprint S4 MIUI thread.

I'm porting it from the 9505, everything works except for the data/voice. I'll definitely post it if I can ever get data/voice working.
As far as the APN stuff, it doesn't matter now, because my phone is borked. Something went pretty wrong and I can only get 4G access. I've lost voice/3G/whatever. I am going to take my S4 to the VZW store and see what they can do for me.
Hopefully I didn't fry anything, although I suspect that if that were the case I wouldn't get 4G.

I would have gladly passed it on, but I deleted it already. I basically took CM and merged some files into an already working S4 MIUI build.
A working S4 (i9505) build can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650
You can get it to boot by merging the files mentioned in the thread, but I never got data calls to work, and I think it broke my phone. I'd be very careful.
We should start a bounty for a full working port and maintenance.
