Save yourself some headache and use the source, not some knockoff. CM7 is what you should really be using.

I keep wanting to switch from Liberty GB to CM7 for DX but everytime I look at reviews it says camera/camcorder don't work, youtube don't work, & GPS maybe.. That review was from June 17th.. Anybody got a up to date review on that ROM..

Nothing wrong with "plain CM7", but Birgertime's version is hardly a knockoff. If it weren't for him, we'd still be using mute/unmute on calls in CM7 and GPS would still not work. Many of his fixes have been rolled back into the official CM7 for Vibrant.

check cyanognemod.com forums for the device, and see what people are saying about it.
however, since you posted this in the vibrant themes and apps section your chances of getting an answer go down... significantly
if you really want to you can go through the change log http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=cdma_shadow
or go through all of the cdma_shadow commits on gerrit http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,st...yanogenMod/android_device_motorola_shadow,n,z

actually the gps fix was done by karl hegbloom, Roman pulled the commit and put it into his build after Atin passed on it (there is more to the story and some more tweaking was done by all parties)
but here is the link for gapps

No intention of knocking any of the other Dev's here at all. In most cases that "I've" seen, ROMS built off of CM7 which already has issues of its own, tend to have more issues than not. I haven't tried any other GB ROM other than CM7 so I don't have any experience with them. I do know CM7 has worked perfectly for me so far, and I do know most of the problems encountered are from the end users.
Cheers
EDIT: Is phiremod even Birgertime's ROM? It's also built off of CM7 #74.

[Q] Upgrade to Gingerbread?

Hello! I am new to this forum. I have a Samsung Vibrant (SGH-T959), which I successfully upgraded to Froyo.UVKA6. How do I upgrade further, to Gingerbread (Android 2.3)? I tried to Root my phone using that one-click rooting program, but I guess I was doing something wrong, and it didn't work (three times). Thank you for your response.
No official 2.3 yet
and no stable 2.3 (?) for normal daily use yet

he said "no official 2.3" CM7 isn't official but i suggest the OP tries out CM7 its fast, a few bugs, that will be fixed by the dev team, but besides that... its great!
Since there was a samsung gingerbread leak for i9000 a few days ago. I imagine we will see a vibrant leak soon.

With All due respect, perhaps you should just stick to 2.2 for now. While CM7 is a semi-viable option it is a bit more complex than flashing many of the more "standard" 2.2 roms.
Be patient, there are many custom roms you could look into that will surely boost your phones potential greatly while you wait for 2.3 builds to grow and develop.
Try out Bionix Version 1.3 (I believe) or Trigger 2.7. Those are my personal favorites. Right Now I am using a 2.2.1 Rom called Sweet Honey, which is great, but I haven't had enough time with it to give a proper judgment.
Look at the more stable options first, get used to things, learn how to use Odin, about download mode, the different recoveries, even about jigs (if needed); before you dive head first into this cesspool of amazing roms, kernels, themes and talented developers. There's a lot of options that are far less likely to brick your phone.
This thread is a good way to start.

TV-out is not working on this build either which sucks because wiimote works. just cannot seem to get both worlds working for some classic gameplay without toting a frign PC(laptops included) around.

[REQ] Screen On/ Screen Off

I had flashed CM7 before my phone had bricked. (true brick. currently being fixed by the great connexion2005). one of my favorite things about the rom however is when you put your phone to sleep/turn screen off, it has a nastalgic feeling of an old tv turning off. Can we have that on any ROM or is this just one of the wonders of cm7?

Cm7.

Miui made me love my phone again.
simply honey 3.6... that rom is the smoothedt of all in all ways.. browser is as smooth as iphone 4 and is fully capable of playing back 720p flash videos because its a hardware accelerated rom.. also you can downgrade without using odin but by just simply using sgs kernel flasher....

Right now i have Bltzkrieg running on my Phone right now and its to nice, especially with the GPS fix kernel.. but it is probably the least polished of the 3..

Flashed MIUI a few days ago and it is just amazing, I can't see myself going back to any other ROM. Don't know if it's device specific, but my GPS has always worked.
miui is amazing. just gotta work out the bandbase issue and ill be unstoppable
I've tried CM 7... looks awesome but I got problems with adding account, it cant retrieve something of the account!! now I have no market no gmail...nothing! I tried reflash and odin to stock then back to CM....didnt work
MIUI...sorry but its a freak copy of the Iphone... dislike
Now Im gonna try the simple honey...let's see....
I say try Blietzkrieg, it has a working GPS. Not themed or polished as others, but it's a VERY good Rom for 2.3
I've rocked it once, but I had to revert back to Trigger/NextGen because of issues with some apps I need for my work. But once it stables, I'll hop on that like a cop having a bag of donuts!!!

what rom should i use???

What's up guys. I need some help picking the best ROM for me. I know there's tons of them on here, by I'm a novice to Android, and honestly don't even really get te difference between firmware and a ROM. I want some very specific feature which is also why I made this thread seeking your help.
I'm an old iPhone user.. did all the jailbreaking and all myself and even though I think the TB is better than my old iPhone I would love to incorporate some of the "fluidity" it had. Specifically I'm looking a ROM that wouldn't interrupt my music when I get a text to play to notification sound, instead play it on top of the song playing at the moment. I would also like to initiate access the play/pause skip buttons without having to unlock my TB, like double pressing the home button on an iPhone and the play buttons pop up even if you weren't playing any music.
The last and most important to me would be this one: on the iPhone there is a security option that if you have a password set and let's say the phone is stolen and someone tries unlocking the phone more than an allowed number of times(set by the user) it erases EVERYTHING on the phone. These are all I can think off right now. Like I said, I'm a novice to Android and I will appreciate any help and advice I can get. I already had my TB rooted but I just updated the verizon firmware on my TB not knowing that it would un-root it.. so I'm trying to find a ROM ASAP.
Thanks
Edit: I would also like to make my TB run on gingerbread and improve the battery life.
I suggest BAMF roms. I'd give you the website link but I may get banned for it.

It's really about trying them out for yourself. Alot of what you want is available through apps. Not even sure you need to root.
As far as bamf ROMs, they decided to leave xda but if you google them, you should find them.
XDA does not like you linking other sites that do the same thing.
I suggest them because they ate always updating their roms, they have a good group of people happy to assist you, and the roms are just really well done. Chingy does great work too. But apparently posting to another forum gets you banned these days. Google "Team BAMF". :-]

it is against the rules on xda, and its their site.
OP, I've been using gingertheory, which is a gb rom with a hybrid sense of 3.0 and 2.1. Very smooth and fast. The same dev also makes a senseless version of GB that is very light and you can add custom lockscreen to that can have audio controls.

Since when did they start enforcing all the rules. I forgot... They cherry pick them. Back on topic, cm7 rc1.2 is good. If you aren't into sense, it is definitely my #1 suggestion.

Eh, dont waste your time with bamf. Synergy is where its at IMO. If youre still kinda new, Droid Theory does awesome support. Hes one of the nicest people Ive seen on the boards, but he doesnt consider himself a Dev. lol. Ive heard CM7 is real nice too though if you arent so much of a sense fan.

The one that fits your needs the best, which may or may not reflect the opinions of those in the thread. In short, you need to research and/or try many different ones. The lazy way of asking others won't give you the best results.
Synergy is my favorite. I've tried CM7, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, Injectedtheory, and Tesla Coil.
CM7 was my second fav, but Synergy was just farther ahead in development. They are doing nightlys now and things are very smooth. Running on the newest leaked GB base and radio, and it runs on ziggys kernel, which seems to be second to none.

Now that Netflix has officially come out for the Thunderbolt, I am sticking with the official MR2 ROM that is the same as stock but rooted and deodexed. All of the apps I want to run work fine plus I have root for things like Titanium, LBE Privacy Guard, SetCPU and VNC so I see no reason to change. I was considering it for Netflix but since that works fine there is no need to. Perhaps when the other roms have stable releases rather than just nightlies/betas/RCs I will switch to a custom rom.

Which AOSP Rom has Fewest Bugs?

Yes, I read the thread about how pissed you get when you read "which rom is best" from an idiot newbie like me. I'm not asking which is best. That's too general.
I want the aosp rom with good working 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wifi and GAPPS. I want dependable sms/mms, able to answer and hang up from phone calls, battery life better than stock. I don't care about netflix.
I would like vzw/vvm to work but not a dealbreaker.
We can narrow down the choices to mini bamf, cm7, or the latest liquid aosp rom if you like.
Which one just works?
I've been using Th3ory for the longest. Try dhacker's version 2.8
Should be everything you're looking for.

I have heard that OMFGB is a great one, I talked to the developer more than a few times about it even tho I don't use it. He has a long track record making the same Rom and porting it to different devices.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I'd really like to hear from folks who have been using an aosp Rom long enough to know its flaws. Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. Neither of those roms had occurred to me. Now I have 5 to pick from!
Signature says it all...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
Either OMFGB or SHIFTAO5P will be your best bets! I use SHIFT, and have been for quite a while, only flashing to others just to see if they can beat it!

1. No that is not all you do. Sorry. Let me find the link for the detailed set of instructions. And this is for location - not navigation.
Fix network location on CM7
2. I have never had problems with actual GPS - if you do have GPS problems - you know - navigation - the solution is to get a solid lock on GPS from your Sense rom before you flash CM7. If you have already flashed CM7 -create a nandroid backup. Flash back to Sense. Get a GPS lock. Restore nandroid. ? Profit.
Anyone know if xfinity app and hbo go app work in this rom?

Have you tried the fix?
Use Rom Manager *The latest version of my suggestion is only accessible this way*
Look at "Unofficial CyanogenMod 7 Builds" by ProTekk in the Download ROM section.
Grab the latest version (Build 20 as of OCT28) and enjoy. This rom works great for me with Tiamat's latest kernel and the 0906w_ radios. You will need to perform the location fix each time you flash an update but the rom is smooth and gives you all the CM7 perks and extras
