i'm a noob to rooting..but did a root last night..and put kaosyo and i really didnt like the look of it...most of it was in chinese..and i wasnt allowed to connect to anything..i later ....through the help of someone i had to download something else to connect to google and other things..
i like the look of the eris..dont mind rooting..but especially want something that runs faster and smoother..anyone recommend anything like this?..i want to overclock it...but being a noob to this..i get confused in the root rom overclock flash conversation..i've been reading a lot of boards and a lot of google searches...till my head starts to spin...
thank you (and sorry if i go against board rules etc)
I suggest EvilEris. It's 2.1 and sense based, so it's not too much different from what you're used to.
as for overclocking, buy SetCPU from the app market(I suggest buying instead of other means because these guys did good work and deserve compensation for it). The only things you really need to know is to make two specific profiles: One for charging/full that goes to about 710MHz(there's a slide bar in it to make this easier) and one that turns on when the screen is off(this can be picked from a drop down box in the profile maker) that has a max speed of like 245MHZ. This will help optimize your battery life. It's a fairly easy app to use also, so you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
thank you!..i was looking at evil eris..dont like the red..but its one that a lot of people spoke highly of...
i read about that app...will have to buy it..thanks for the help!
now if i can just figure out how to root again..lol...not sure if all that i did yesterday i will have to do the same...but they usually have installing instructions
For rooting your Eris, look at this thread. Works perfectly.

If you don't like the red from evil eris then I suggest senseable 3.1. Also sense based and very well spoken of also. Currently what I use and is my favorite.
As stated before setcpu is good for overclocking. You can download for free from these forums (search for it). And as always if you like it, its always nice to donate by buying the app from the market

That's just the wallpaper he uses. It starts with the default one. The only major colour changes is that he uses blue instead of green on the battery.

If you already rooted, you don't need to do it again. When changing ROMs, all you need to do is wipe factory reset, and cache, and nand backup, and then flash your new ROM (zip file).
Look up adb commands for help.

You might wanna nand backup BEFORE you wipe, though.

Yeah I agree with the camera thing. Camera magic isn't nearly as good as the stock camera app.
Plus for some reason froyo roms drain my battery like is going out of style. I'm talking I had a full charge, had data wifi bluetooth etc. off. No setcpu either. I had also calibrated the battery. Twenty minutes later after not even turning the screen on it was down almost 10%. And its only on froyo roms. I don't get it.

Evil Eris 3.0 was my long term every day ROM and I would recomend it, but I would also recomend CM6 in my sig.

It's probably because Froyo roms are OC'ed to 710 already. You need setcpu and create profiles to minimize battery drain.

I had profiles set. Didn't help any. I put the same profiles on senseable (oc'd to 710) and battery life is much better. I was doing some wireless tethering today for over an hour and had less drain than doing nothing with froyo.

I tried to just flash the zip(in recovery mode).. that I had, and it didnt install.
I rooted the MT3G with ease. And the flashing of Roms and stuff is easy for Mt3g. But it seems hard for the Vibrant. I don't use abd or anything cause frankly. I don't know how. Can you guys maybe give me suggestions?

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

There is also a "One Click Lag Fix" that you can download here, it takes like 20 seconds to root this phone, you shouldn't be scared

I wondered about rooting too at first, but as it turns out it's very easy. I've read several comments on how easy it is to root the Vibrant compared to Android phones back in the olden days.
And if you want to flash a neat ROM, go check out Bionix.

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.
So, wanted to know if there is a leaked Froyo update/Rom for the North American Vibrants? Most of the Froyo updates I have found seem to be for the i9000 model and not the t959 model! I would like the offical update but God only knows when thats going to come out! Im running Rooted Stock Rom with JI6 update and OCLF too. Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before. Any help would be great.thanks a million!

Trying to stay as close a to stock Rom as possible. Looking for a very basic froyo update/Rom as possible and would be easy to switch back to stock without to much trouble. Come to think of it.any One Click Froyo updates out there for the Vibrant T959 yet? Thanks again!

Don't know how new or experienced you are with flashing ROMs. If you're new, you will want to check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
to help you come up to speed on your options and overall approaches.
Remember, if you flash from 2.2 back to 2.1 (which is really the only "official" stock available at the moment) you will need to flash an entire ROM or Kernal. Just performing a nandroid recovery won't work and will softbrick your phone (requiring you to use ODIN to fix it).
There are about 4 or 5 2.2-based ROMS in the Developers section. Check one or more of them out.
If you are cautious, then you might want to avoid the Overclocked, Undervolted, or Lagfix kernels for the time being.
And one last thought. Some of the ROMs will not work with OCLF. So, be sure to search their respective threads. Personally, I've tried Onyx and Axura and have found that both work great without a lagfix applied and have pretty good battery life. But YMMV, so read the thread and flash away!
Thanks for all your help guys

Watch the videos anyway because, god forbid, if anything goes wrong, you need odin to revert back to stock and try again.

First off....yes I've done alot of researching.
Thing is that there is soo much info that it is a little overwhelming.
As I understand....I can switch back and forth from 2.2 & 2.3.x and back thru cwm ....difference being that while in 2.3.x I cannot view the recovery screen but can still flash back thru cwm. And when I return to 2.2 I get recovery back so long as I haven't flashed the bootloaders for 2.3.x.
The reason im asking this is becuz I don't have a comp right now so using someone elses comp to odin back is a bit of a hassle for me.
Thanks for any and all input
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I can't speak for others but I can say personally I've done it many times without odin. I have nand backup of 2.2 on my phone. I have not installed gingerbread bootloaders. When I want to flash 2.3 roms, I factory reset and flash it. Sheree that I can't see recovery ofcourse. To switch back to my 2.2 backup, I keep kernel s like bali, overstock or any stock voodoo kernel on the phone. I use sgs kernel flasher from the market to flash those 2.2 kernel s. That puts the phone in bootloop but gives me red recovery. I then factory reset and restore my 2.2 backup. Has worked every time so far...btw everytime means atleast 20 times here.

Switching from 2.2 to 2.3 is fine, it will update as necessary.
Switching back down to 2.2, do as Alex recommended and you'll be fine.
Thank you very much guys! This was exactly what I needed to hear
Edit: wow I'm running minui now and it is going to take some getting use to....lol

Actually I'm pretty sure you will need odin coming from cm7 or muiu. I don't think sgs kernel flasher will work since cm7 and muiu are all asop.

Just go to the stickies and pull all the goodies for Odin. It doesn't take that long to set up. Then you can just flash the GB bootloaders. Remember the GB BLs are backwards compatible.
By backwards compatible,do you mean that with gb bl's they work fine with 2.2?
Also I thought when on one 2.3 rom I could easily jump around to any 2.3 rom like with 2.2........but cwm is not allowing me to do this
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
You could jump around fine from any touchwiz based 2.3 rom (simply honey, asgard, malice) but not cm7 or miui
bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible, you may have an extra boot splash logo but everything works the same. flashing bootloaders can be dangerous....So i would personally recommend staying on GB bootladers

CM7 and MUIU Roms are different, you can't jump back and forth from them because they use different file systems. they are much more complicated. the only way out is to odin back to stock I believe

Odin'ing back is probably the easiest way to get back. Flashing the bootloaders CAN be dangerous, but just follow the directions and voila! Not flashing bootloaders just cause it COULD cause problems is like not driving your car cause you COULD crash and burn into a fireball.
Just sayin...
But yes, they will work on Froyo roms as well.

We were all noobs at one point in time. Just continue to read and read and search and search again. Almost anything that could go wrong with the Vibrant has most likely already happened, and is searchable.
can you go from CM7 to MIUI directly or do you need to go back to stock first?
As it appears ....you have to Odin back first

Erm sorry mate, should ve mentioned cm7 and miui. I just assumed that its understood that you can't switch back from those without odin. All gingerbread roms have that in their first posts in no uncertain terms.

I've put my phone back on 2.2 and am going to leave it there. Having a heater in my pocket using up the battery 2x faster than normal and never knowing where I am got a little old. Mostly the battery part. If there's ever a leak, I'll go back, otherwise.. this phone's on 2.2 until I buy a new one.
Okay, so first, I apologize for having to post this here, but as I have less than ten posts, I'm unable to post in the Axura thread (which is probably for the best, as it's long dead).
I've tried a number of different ROMs in the last few months, but none have worked better for me than the last version of Axura. Regrettably, I'm unable to find my copy now that I'm ready to reflash, and devsforandroid (not to mention devsdeposit) are down, so I'm having a hell of a time finding it.
I'm hoping one of you can come to my rescue and point me in the direction of a working download. I greatly appreciate it!
Any Luck?
Looking for this too, did you have any luck running it down?
Not yet, but the new version of ZenDroid has done me very well in the meantime, and it's still supported.
