I'm new to the forum and was successful getting android on a htc hd2 but I'm having issues after "sucessfully" getting F1 JVP Mod V9 on my samsung vibrant for the second time. I was able to solve the media scanner FC but i have certain apps that are also fc on boot up, i also have problems getting the phone to unlock my sim card. Another problem deals with the home and search buttons not operationg properly. In their current state, they act like "tab" buttons. I'm just clueless on how to fix it now. Someone please help
Sounds like you flashed a Rom not for the vibrant. Odin back to stock and pick a Rom out of our development section

I thought i did, i used 2 F1 roms(v6&v9) and the same results.
If this is the rom you're talking about then no, its not for our phone.
wow, i feel like an idiot now. Then how do i tell which works for the vibrant out of the list on this page?

Hi guys,
Im sorta new to hacking phones. I just got a T-mobile unlocked Vibrant up here in Canada. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some simple stable roms i could choose from and some quick simple steps i could follow to installing them. I cant seem to find a standard place to download a rom.
p.s. I already have samsung kies and Odin installed i just need the files and what options to have selected.

Are you sure you don't have the I9000?
If you want stablity.....go get Nero V5...its based from the new KA5 Froyo leak.....and Team Whiskey's ROM's are always tweaked to be lightning fast with the VooDoo lagfix...heres the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907347
stablity? thats just a wrong question.
ALMOST, if not all froyo roms are stable.
some recommended roms which are the most popular, and made by the most popular devs.
1- Axura, by Master(the guy who replied up there)
2- Nero, by TeamWhiskey
3-Ginger Clone, by Eugene
all of them are stable, and not ordered in any specific reason.
Well since I just got the xda app going. It says I have a sgh t959 pretty sure thats a vibrant. Unless the box I got it in is lying to me. Thanks for the suggestions guys Ill look into them.

I would suggest reading up on voodoo and learning all the precautions needed to be taken when flashing a rom included with it, and also keep this link handy:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Will come in handy if you mess up
Nero W/Voodoo. Highly recommended!
Most rooms with lagfix, will have problems doe to lack of journaling. You will start loosing files, one icon, etc and you will have to be reinstalling ofrever (start checking the lost.dir in SD Card, and you will find how the files start to pop up there.....
I personally use the stock updates (jk6 now) and is running great no lagfixes necessary. I do run a alternate launcher, and there are a lot of flavors around, although Zeam is my favorite.... Higly customizable, free, light and fast.........
Nero 5 cured my GPS! Honestly.
and fast too with voodoo
Very simple. Just go to settings-> about phone

I also have an unlocked and rooted T-Mobile Vibrant up here in Canada and am having a hell of a time getting the GPS to work. I also have trouble with phone reception. I have read everything I could find and even managed, when I was visiting the US, to get a guy at T-Mobile to put a sim card in my phone so I could download the samsung gps restore app that's not available in Canadian market. Tried Lbs test mode, GPS test and all sorts of variations on those solutions to no avail. My phone is hardware locked.
At this point, I am seeking advice.
1. Should I attempt to remove the hardware lock first in case anything I do bricks my phone?
2. Will flashing to the J16 modem solve the GPS (and phone reception) problem? (I am currently on 2.1)
3. Should I just flash one of the 2.2 ROMS?
Any guidance would be appreciated as this is the first android phone I have tried to hack.
EDIT: I gave up out of frustration with poor phone performance and flashed Nero ROM from Team Whiskey. AWESOME! GPS works! Phone reception - more bars, less drops! Bluetooth works better! Where's the donate button? Take my money! Take it! Oh yeah, I don't have any... but I leave you what I can! Great stuff.
A week ago I Odin'd back to stock and upgraded to the official 2.2 VIA Kies Mini. I have not rooted since or really even restored any of my old apps. No mods, just a stock Vibrant now. While I was playing WordFeud the phone locked up for about 20 to 30 seconds then on the screen it stated a screenshot has been taken. I then checked the Gallery and sure enough there was a picture of the screen. My question is has anyone seen this or know what happened. I checked the WorFeud app help and it didn't mention anything about a screen capture feature. Is there some sort of button combination on the new 2.2 Release that allows for screen captures to be taken? I was pretty confused by this, please let me know your thoughts and/or experiences.
OK, I see others have encountered this too and I would of found that if I searched correctly, as in spell correctly. OK, I see that people are saying to hold the back button and hit the home or menu button. I have tried these methods and have yet to make it work again. Either way, since this is sort of covered already, without a clear answer though, MODS feel free to delete.
Crap, didn't see your thread.
I encountered the same thing today and it was pretty nice. Still trying to figure out how to do it. Its a nice feature!
I did it too....im not rooted at this time. Cant figure it out.....

Yeah I've done that too accidentally. Don't know how though.
Updating to Stock 2.2 from Kies is probably your first mistake, that ROM is so bad I couldn't stand it for more than a day. Flashed Trigger and reborn I was. Plan into getting a custom ROM for your phone because screenshots are not the only thing you will encounter annoying from Samsung's Froyo.
I ended up with screen shots in my gallery and I have no idea how they got there. There was never a notification or anything.
There is something built in, but I don't think the Vibrant really supports multitouch on the capacitive buttons. My girlfriend can do this on command, but only in the mms app. She clicks back, and when she feels a delayed haptic feedback, she pushes home and it works everytime.

Yeah, I was rocking Macnut R14 for a while after trying a few others. I updated to Samsung 2.2 to test out because a friend was thinking of trying it and asked if I would try it first. I was bored of it within a hour I think but gave it a few days. Bionix and DOW Kernal on it now.
Followed instructions completely after install going to boot screen it made my tab looked like it was fryed reloaded another rom just fine.? Not sure has anyone else had this problem would love to ask in actual thread but no permissions to. Wish xda would give newer people a little more credit with their questions, the development site here is awesome and so are the developers.
worked perfectly fine for me. A couple reboots later after my restoring apps and it's running like a champ.
One more time
Ill try it again, have you ever seen a distorted screen. ?

Not with the tab.
I have the GS2 for Sprint and I just got the new 4.0.4 update - I'm not happy. I was excited to get it, but after using it for one day I was less than thrilled. They have really retarded the ability to move quickly through the phone, LOTS of screen animations and transitions are added and really do make things much slower as the screens pops around on you and places buttons in different locations. I want these turned off ASAP. I went to the developer menu and "turned them off" as I was instructed from another website, but that didn't do a damn thing. Every menu change has a cute little animation adding time and lagging my muscle memory screen presses. The phone is laggy now, it wasn't before, at all.
Anyone else share my strife or know how to fix my issue?
Thank you
I totally disagree...since 4.0.4 firmwares have started to come out, i even managed to stay on stock firmware for a couple of weeks without flashing custom ones. S2 can take care of animations without lag.

Well, you "managed to stay on it for a couple weeks" implies that eventually you didn't like it.
I Don't have lag with the animations, I have lag with nothing happening, and THEN whatever it is I was going into pops up.
Test - right now I hit home screen and it takes about half a second, going into anything takes the same amount of time. This sounds rather trivial, but when comparing to the way it originally operated I think we're talking about a set back.
I'm not opposed to switching to another rom, but I've gotten to the point in my life where I use my phone enough for actual work that I don't have the time. Ideally, I would like the old ROM back, and rooted removing the bloatware.
I will do some research to see if I can achieve my goals, I just wanted to see if someone had an answer for my questions and see if I could avoid the issue altogether and get over the "Facebook layout" syndrome.

You're in the forum for the i9100, a phone that doesn't even work on Sprint.
The Sprint Galaxy S2 is the Epic 4g Touch.
No matter what phone , wether the original i9100 or the sprint one , things at first may seem slow , til everything is caching and stuffs ... Do a factory reset or format /data and /cache .. Would defenitly make a difference..(if it still lags try to disable the animations and transitions OR activate the force GPU and see)
I didn't post this in here, it got moved. I think...

You just posted another in here. Still the wrong forum. So I'd say you did post in here. Go to the Epic 4g Touch forum I linked above before you irrevocably damage your phone.
Yeah welcome to xda.If you dont like stock rom/update then flash a custom rom.

Hi,
Im new the Android world of 'rooting' and 'custom roms' I have been a iPhone owner in the past and done plenty of JBs on the iDevices however i have since been converted to the droid world and im not looking back lol
anyways so i just followed some guides on here to root the s3 i9300 and all good!
i then decided to use the following rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076672
And its look great!!! love it! except just one issue which im not sure if it really is an issue or not.... when i press the lock button to lock the phone it locks but as the screen goes off the only way i can explain it is it looks like an old TV screen going off where the content meets in the middle and then goes blank. if this description isnt clear enough i can record it and youtube it.
I hope this isnt a major issue im sure it might be an easy fix but as im new the custom rom/droid world i have no idea what todo.
I think that's the CRT animation and it's included in the ROM by default. Many people like it but if you don't I guess you could try flashing another rom.

Yeah, It's CRT animation not an issue. More info here
