i have by accident flashed star wars rom an went to flash alien rom an some how i have star wars rom with alien on it to in setting ti says its starwars rom but i have three launchers an one is alien an the starusbar is what on the alien rom its perry cool i guess its alright i think i flashed the alien rom over starwars without wipeing not sure . i dont no if this matters to any one but i thought if i did something that is not suposssed to be someone could look at it might help with other roms dont no just putting this out there if so.
Im going to be honest with you...i dont understand a f**king thing from that paragraph so im going to guess. You need to go back and put some periods in that **** like asap. Also how do you "accidentally" flash a rom? If you flashed a rom on top another rom without wiping of course **** will be jacked up. Wipe your current rom and start over. I cant understand that paragraph but this help im giving you should be common sense.....

Huh??!!
Capital letters, periods, paragraphs ......
So you're saying it works fine? Well, then just run with it, or wipe and start over. Not sure if this thread had a point as I could only understand maybe half of it.
The point was on my evo a theme has to be flashed with the rom it was made for or it want work. I put alien theme over starwars rom now this might be something that can be done with these two roms i did not no for sure. So i was just posting this to see if i did something that shouldn't have been able to do. If so then someone might have wanted to see how i did it to help with other roms. If this can be done with these two roms then i am sorry for wasting anyone time. I dont no how much more clear i can be.
Actually, I flashed the star wars rom, then the star wars theme, then Alien theme, then another theme over top. This way I had the ringtones from all three. It also fixed some problems I was having with the star wars rom.
Nah. You can do it. I run homebase rom with Alien theme.

Read, understand, experiment. Ppl only get their troubles or "panic" because they dont have anything setup & dont know how to get them selves out it. If you dont want to learn our try to use the tools that are available then just wait till the one-click ROMS or CM comes out.
If you want to take the time to learn then I would suggest to head over to the vibrant "bible".
Easiest way is just to down load one click lag fix from market there is a root option there. Or it really was easy this oas my first android phone. Download the update filter put it in the internal sd and rebooted using hold vol + vol- and power. And installed from there no problem.
Just check out the stickied thread about vibrant tips and tricks

I just got this phone 2 days ago (my first smartphone ever!) and I've flashed it probably 6 or 7 times now...
Important advice: Right now, once you've installed Clockwork ROM Manager, make a backup of your ROM! I really wish I'd done this, just a near-stock, untouched backup (yes every thread post starts with "make a backup!" but I was stupid)
Now for some encouragement: If I, with zero knowledge of Android/rooting/ROMs/build.prop files/Clockwork/adb/Odin before Sunday at 4 pm, managed to F with this phone as much as I have and not even come close to bricking it, you'll be *golden* just flashing it with a well-known ROM.
Flashing ROMs is super easy with Clockwork. It's like... 3 or 4 clicks easy.
Right now I'm running Bionix and really enjoying it. You might check it out while we all wait for Cyanogenmod to come out for Vibrant.
TL;DR: I've been pushing files, flashing broken ROMs, all sorts of fun stuff and my phone is still pluggin' away. I wouldn't worry too much about bricking. Just read the threads, search the Googles, and ask for help if you get really stuck. And backup.
Make sure you check out Eugene323's stuff as well. He puts out some incredible work.

I had more problems with my MT3G than I did with this phone. It took a day to root and rom the MT3G since I have the one with the head phone jack (stupid gold card crap).
Do what everyone has suggested. DL the One Click Lag Fix and touch the option to root. I'm running the Bionix 1.3 and it's good.

Getting some FCs on LPP, but it does blaze.
Edit: Getting a few more FCs. Skype, Rom Manager, plus a lot of games. I'll keep testing though. Running jt's clean Rom v0.4 and the 11/02 non-voodoo kernel.
Yeah, just too much closing, even without warning and not FCing, just backing to the homescreen. Updates will be awesome.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok so going through the Samdroid forum for info on this, I saw like 400 pages of posts. I saw nothing of a release for fascinate, only spica. I would really like to try this but have a few questions. Is everyone that is getting the FC's running voodoo or standard? Theres not much mention in these posts. Will this allow for Flash?
tons of fc
After running for a couple hours only got one fc, but most apps would not open on the first attempt. The screen would zoom and go black like the app was opening, then I'm sent back to the launcher. Second attempt would usually open the app.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've tried running both the original and the updated version. For starters there's WAY too many FC's and the apps not opening on the first, second, or third try is obnoxious and I personally can't handle it and don't have the patience or time to open an application five times before it works. It's quicker but the FC's probably even it out. Right now it's personally not worth it, I'll keep playing with the releases until it's worth it. Good find though, keep up the good work.

2. Odin can increases you flash count when you flash something. There are ways around it in order to avoid it.
3. Unofficial roms are pretty stable. They are superfast updating to the latest leaks. There are ton of people working on this rom.
Don't be scared dude. As long as you do everything the way it says to, then you'll be straight. Make sure one of the 1st things you do is flash clockwork mod. Once you have that, do a backup of your existing ROM. After that, even if you brick, there's always a way to get it back(for the most part)

Go back to one of the samsung gingerbread roms and wipe and then flash cm7. You can't go from ics to cm7 will always get that error.

I was on ICScrewed 2.1. Tried flashing CM7. No luck. THEN I tried flashing AOKP, then CM7. Don't know why I did that second part, but I was hoping it'd work somehow. Nonetheless, my first attempt coming from gingerbread didn't work.

Not positive because I haven't been in this situation, but I think ICScrewD will show in build.prop as an i9100, which may be causing the updater script to fail, cause it's looking for i777. If you flash back to stock GB before trying to flash CM7, that might solve the issue. Or see the other post a few above yours with info on removing the asserts from the updater script.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here...

+1. I always get this kind of error when flashing an AOSP/AOKP ROM from a Sammy based ROM. I keep a CM9 kernel handy. All I do is flash the CM9 kernel (or AOKP kernel) - reboot into recovery - then flash the new ROM.
Hope this helps.
Unzip the cm9 update zip and go to META-INF, COM,GOOGLE,ANDROID, "updater-script" and open it with a text editor. Then delete/remove the beginning lines that say anything about "get prop" so now you will start with "package extract file". Now save it and then move it back into the same location and overwrite the original one. Zip the folder back up and flash in cwm.
BEFORE
and AFTER PICS.
This will allow you to flash it coming from all/almost ANY ROM. You will not need to do it any other time unless coming from another from again. So if you want to try other rooms just make a Android backup of cm9, switch to another from. If then you want to come back to cm9 just restore the Android backup then flash a newer nightly and you will have no issues. Or you can start again with removing the get prop check any time before flashing it if you don't want to save a Android backup.

Using Odin to go back to stock would probably be a best way to do it, but if you're dead set on a ROM you could look here:

Nice thing about that ROM is that it comes rooted, and busyboxed for you.

I would recommend Platypus kernel if you do switch over. Chimera comes with a custom installer with multiple options for kernels, apps, keyboards etc. The custom installer is awesome, you can literally set it up to install whatever you want and whatever you DONT want. www.team-passion.com is where you will find it, try it seriously! Worst thing that happens is you don't like it but its really the best ROM i have ever used, period. If you do install, choose apex launcer or even samsung launcher if you want the samsung look, the cndlauncher has problems so do not install it!

I know nothing about this bug to be honest. I saw a thread named encryption bug but didn't think it was worth reading since I haven't experienced it, knock on wood.

No to go too far off topic, but if you are running ANY ICS rom, you need to be aware of the risks of this bug. It doesn't descriminate. Just yesterday, someone Odin'd to JFD and flashed all the way to ICZen (which has been the least effected ROM) and got it. Fortunately he was able to somehow get it back to full working status, but if you are unaware to what this bug is, I suggest at the very least to make a backup of your internal_sd. The internal is what gets Encrypted and right now there is NO key and only a handful of people have come back from it. There is no solution or concrete cause for this bug.
Good Luck.

Your being an asshole, that's all there is to it. Chimera is a blend of AOKP and CM9, I figured the dude might like it so I let him know.

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going to read up on the encryption bug, sounds nasty.

Yea I hear you, I'm thinking about going back to a GB ROM myself lol. That's a very nasty bug that I want no part of.

From what Ive read it literally encrypts partitions making odin or Jtag useless. The "fix" is actually a work around from what I see. You substitute your external sdcard for android required partitions.

JBQ from Google confirmed in a post on a Google group that Android will assume any partition that doesn't contain valid data or zero is encrypted:
JBQ said:
Yup, with encryption support in ICS, Android has become a lot more
picky about having all the filesystems initialized with valid data,
and mistakenly assumes that anything that's not zero or valid is
encrypted, refusing to go any further.
In Gingerbread and before, anything that wasn't valid was expected to
be invalid, and Android would just re-initialize it, regardless of
whether it was zero or not.
You're lucky you didn't have to work with Honeycomb, where zeros were
considered encrypted.

If you read the EU threads, it's obvious life goes on post-EU. I got hit a while back, partitioned an external sdcard, and then used the emmc / sdcard swap to deal with the loss of access to my internal sd. If I get hit again, it's much easier to manage the situation with a portable ext sdcard. For one person, it was as simple as a chkdsk from a pc fixing the issue without losing any data.
Everyone's risk tolerance level will vary, but the benefits / performance and dev progression of ICS far out weigh any reason for me to consider downgrading. Imo, it's nasty, yes ... yet a manageable situation as long as you know the risks (and be proactive about backing up your data to another device or cloud acct).
Since EU, I religiously keep my TiBu data sync'd in Dropbox and consciously steer towards apps with online sync / backup capabilities, etc.
Moral of the story is ... once you go thru it, it's only as painful as how well you've heeded this man's sage advice:
