I'm using Calkulin's ROM with Pershoot's kernel. When I try to go to ebates.com, I just get a blank screen. Can anyone else see the site when using the GTab? I'm using Dolphin HD as my browser.

Yeap....
Works good on Dolphin HD using TNTL 4.2.5.
Do you have Flash 10.1 or 10.2 installed?
Pretty sure 10.2 but I'll double-check when I get home. Will updating in Market make Hulu stop working? No biggie either way since I don't really use Hulu.
Turns out that I have Flash Player 10.2 HuluFixed 10.2.155.67.hulu installed. Still, when I try www.ebates.com, I just get a blank screen. I tried updating Flash through the Market but the update wasn't successful, nor can I uninstall my version of Flash. Any other suggestions?
Managed to uninstall Flash 10.2 but ebates still won't appear. Stock browser won't display that site either. Would flashing Calkulin over the top without wiping possibly get it to work again? Any other suggestions?
Wiped and reloaded everything, still no go with ebates. Just a major pain since I usually go there anytime I buy something online (groupon, eBay, etc). Still using Calkulin ROM and Pershoot kernel. Absolutely loving this combo but for inability to access ebates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To preface this, I have followed all instructions to a T in all threads related to this, so here goes.
I was running CM7 test 7 and all was well, then I updated to build 8 and still ok but no call audio so I flashed the .13 OTB kernel and the phone began to bootloop. I have since been unable to reinstall CM7 and have ODIN flashed the EB01 official and the Atlas .pit probably 10-12 times through the whole cycle to try and reinstall.
Now that I have given up on that I followed the steps to return to UKB 2.1 and after flashing everything booted fine but my touchscreen would not work...so, back to stock again and I have stayed there........but
Now every time I reboot I have to reinstall all my apps(they are still installed but force clse immediately), none of them save any settings or data when I exit and return to them and my launcher is throwing out "Unknown data error" in notifications every time I boot. It also resets all homescreen and system settings to default at each reboot and has to resync all contacts also.
I am hoping that someone can help we with this and that I have not flashed this thing to its breaking point and am totally screwed. Someone have mercy and know something...and yes, I have searched and have found a few threads on the subject but none with any answers.
thanks I hope
If you have most of your contents from your sd backed up on your pc and you have a spare sd card I would try putting your spare one in, put com rom on it and TiBu on it as well
Odin recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik.. voltage settings too if your recovery has that option
flash ukb 2.0 reboot completely and do the 2.1 patch
I'm not a dev, nor do I know if this will fix anything but I went to cm7 a while back before deep sleep was fixed and when I went back to com rom to hold me over I noticed even after doing the atlas 2.2 and eb01..i still had a bunch of cm7 files on my sd card and it (ukb) was rather glitchey compared to before I tried cm7...i don't think that these can conflict with anything on the rom but if you have a spare sd what's it gonna hurt you said you've flashed/ repartitioned multiple times..what's once more!
If you can't get it fixed I would just go to the newest cm7 its just about perfect, the bugs in it are minor..imo...good luck!

I've got everything up and running with stock once more and everything seems to be good finally.
Honestly after all this I'm a bit hesitant to flash CM7 lol. I may a suit on it for a couple days and decide. Thanks

In the future, I would try the ext4 format utility from navenedrob right after you've returned to stock & before you flash any custom rom. It formats all partitions & may fix something overlooked by odin.

Yesterday my Vibrant crashed and now I can't start messaging. When I try to, the screen goes black and after a few seconds, I get the message "the application Messaging (process com.Android.Mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again", and then closes very quickly, before I have the chance to tap "force close". Any solution?

didnt restore messages from a different version did you, like 2.2.1 to 2.2 or 2.2 to 2.3
i did that coming from 2.2.1 and restored on 2.2 and my messaging force closed, if it is that reflashing would fix it
just a suggestion, better to have more than less
Yeah, thanks! However, I'm still working on getting clockworkmod to work, so I haven't flashed any roms. Yet.
So in other words I still have no idea what's going on haha

use rom mansger to flash it then reinstall packages twice in the stock blue recovery if you havent already
if you can't get CWR to work... then download a nightly, lastest or old doesn't matter i don't think message app has changed at all...
so anyways
download it.
extract apk from system/apps
and then replace on your phone..
just wondering... why are you still using stock messagning app? everyone i know has moved on to go sms pro or somthing else.
edit: oops why did i just assume u were using CM7 lol, anyways just replace the nightly up there with your rom, and do the same thing.
What do you mean, "the nightly"? (the nightly build? Of what?)
Also, I got my phone three days ago, so I still use stock messaging. If there's a better alternative, I'd love to get it. What do you guys suggest?

You can try Go SMS Pro from the market - it's really good.
Are you on the Samsung ROM? I thought you were on some other one, ignore the nightly parts...
have you done anything with your phone like flash other ROMs?
If not, there's an app called Bloater, if you search a bit on the themes / apps section you can find it, and then get the messaging app, im pretty sure it has it in there.
I'll try sms pro. I haven't used any other roms yet. I'm on the Samsung Rom. I've tried to flash clockworkmod, but it didn't work. I'll try bloated...

Strange... I tried go sms pro and handcent sms, and they both crashed in much the same way as stock messaging. I also got similar errors.

Well, now we know that its YOUR issue, but I'll try and help.
First of all, the stock Samsung ROM is very buggy, and will become laggy after a week or two, maybe a month.
So i suggest you switch to a 2.2, or a 2.3 rom.
We do not have OFFICIAL 2.3 from samsung so we are relying on Cyanogen, a team that makes AOSP (free of all touchwiz) ROMS called Cyanogen Mod, or CM7 as in version 7.
I'll get you started off by teaching you how to use ODIN. Odin is important in the world of flashing. ODIN will get your phone back from soft bricks, and sometimes, rarely, hard bricks- MAYBE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
that thread has most of the stuff you will need.
ignore the ROMS section and downwards, the thread hasn't been updated in a while...
Go into the Vibrant Dev. section and look at some ROMS that you like.
Gingerbread (2.3) roms do not have perfect battery life right now, but its getting to the point where its just as good as froyo.
You are on 2.1, very outdated, and since its touchwiz, it will get sooooooooooo laggy.
Root yourself with Superonelickroot program, and then get app ROM MANAGER and flash yourself a clockwork recovery, put a ROM on your phone, and then install.
First decide which ROM you want, because if it's a 2.2, it's different than 2.3.
Thats not the only thread, but I can't find the exact threads to help you out with right here...
First off, thank you so much for all that information. My phone is already rooted. I can't get clockworkmod to work, but I will try odin. CM7 was my Rom of choice in the first place, but before I'd flash it I'd like to get clockworkmod working so I can do a nandroid backup. While your here, do you know of any battery efficient roms that I can flash for when I'm travelling and such?

Battery efficent... hmm
If you're not in a hurry, I do suggest you try out CM7 WITH Glitch kernel, without it cm7 has bad battery, but i just tried it and its giving me pretty good.
If you travel frequently, Maybe Froyo 2.2 is best for you.
Now about your clockwork issue, whats the problem? any errors?
Get Rom Manager app from market
grant root access if it ever asks you.
top choice select it and then flash Vibrant CWR, BUT- AND BUT if you're going to try CM7 as I said, flash the Vibrant (MTD) their both there for choice.
It will download and flash by it self.
Now I hope you know how to get into recovery mode for now, because later on in every rom, theres a option you can just choose to get into recovery.
Anyways if you don't...
Hold up and down volume, and power button for about 5 seconds until phone turns on, and then let go, wait a few seconds and a recovery should pop up
press -REINSTALL PACKAGES-
this will replace normal recovery with the clcokwork
then after pressing reinstall packages, it will reboot back into recovery again, same screen, press reinstall packages again, now it wont reboot, but will go into a deeper version of recovery CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
there you go, now thats what it is.
Now if you will flash CM7, go wipe the cache
and then ADVANCED > wipe dalvik cache
now install zip
install zip again or choose or something
and then find your rom and flash.
there you go.
After flashing a rom, let it sit for 10 minutes, it usually lets the ROM calm down and stop setting up and it works great.
You should let me know which rom you pick, if you want terrific battery, then its froyo for SURE.
I havent been on froyo in a while, but when i did, Trigger was my absolute favorite, if you can't choose, make a thread.
Wow havent typed that much in a while.
haha
Ok, i tried to install clockwork mod and I got the following error
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation abored"
However, i found someone with a guide on how to use Odin. So I'm probably just going to use that, unless you know of a way to fix ClockworkMod.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Fixed the problem! I restored to stock firmware with odin, as i was getting a lot of problems. I'm now running Cyanogenmod 7.

are you on 2.2? because the stock 2.2 that Samsung gave was protected so you couldn't do the clockwork etc.
Yep, use the ODIN thread you found and odin back to 2.1, root using superoneclickroot, and then do what I said and then you can flash clockwork.
I attempted to flash Simple Honey 4.0 (was using Bionix prevoiusly) via Odin and once the phone rebooted I saw a strange screen issue after it rebooted.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The screen looks like this before the boot animation kicks in. It also appears like this if I attempt to go into CWM. It also happens with RevolutionRom. Other than that the roms "seem" to work fine but I can't navigate through CWM because the screen is wonky. I tried searching for this issue but I'm not even sure what search terms to use. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

no matter which gingerbread rom I try to install, as soon as the rom boots up, i get a million forced close errors and I can't do anything because they keep force closing (such as the launcher, calendar, etc.)
i started from stock JFD rom, rooted installed clockwork, then installed the rom, and nothing =_= it's getting pretty annoying
Did you flash the GB kernal in odin first prior to flashing the GB rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
did you install the gb bootloaders via odin?
I just flashed simply honey 5.1 yesterday. I had to flash their light version in odin with 512 pit before flashing the full rom. Also I did this a couple times because I forgot to disable lag fix. try that.
If memory serves, massive force close errors often happens when you forget to fix permissions after an install.
This exact same thing happened to me on my HTC Desire. The problem was the SIM card.
Are you from Israel by any chance? Cellcom is the provider?
In any was, I fixed it by going to the support center and replacing my yellow USIM card with an older regular SIM card.
