i dont know how else to word the search, so here i am starting yet another thread, sorry, im starting to realize waiting for froyo may end up being a huge waste of time, and i dont know if or how to flash an unofficial froyo on my stock vibrant so im trying to figure out what adobe flash lite's use is if it has any use at all...

You should try one of the new Froyo 2.2 leaked not official ROM.
Flash 10.1 is so much better than the piece of S*** Flash lite that came with our phone. Besides website like Hulu that specificially blocks viewing from Android phones everything else work wonderfully.

There was a rumor that the flash apk from the sprint evo 4g would work on our phones. And it did install just fine, but did nothing more than flash lite for some users while others reported that they were unable to view flash at all after installing.
I installed it and for me it was the same as flash lite.
The only known working full flash.is on froyo im afraid.

So I flashed nero v3 a few days ago. How would I go about flashing to v5. Would I have to odin back to stock then go to v5 or can I just flash straight from v3.

I never odin back and have never had issues. You can just flash over it. If there are a lot of bugs you can flash or odin back to stock and then flash the new Rom. Just be sure to disable voodoo if you go back to stock. Also, make sure any time you flash a new Rom to let it sit for 10 min then reboot to eliminate bugs and smooth it out. Hope this helps.

+1 except for the never Odin back part. Not that DCrozier28 is wrong but I always do it. The developers will usually tell you if it's necessary or not. For the most part dev to dev is pretty safe but for instance V5 was written purely based on KA5 so it might have some bugs flashing over V3 which was designed before KA5 was released.
To some Odin is an unnecessary step to me it's more peace of mind and an extra 5 minutes.
I have also found I have WAY more success to on the letting the ROM sit after 1st boot then reboot. Some roms and phones don't immediately load and situate everything, a good 10-15 minutes then reboot ensures everything is where it needs to be before you start loading stuff back up.
I had this same question, glad I found this post.
Also whats the best way to backup sms? I am just assuming use titanium and then restore once the new rom is there?
One thing I missed about my Touch Pro 2 was microsoft my phone. It was a easy backup and sync. I am still fairly new to android but there has got to be something similar.

If it wipes every thing is there really a need to odin?

Like post above it could be Rom specific. Some debate may say to odin to stock but they will probably list it. I have flashed different roms over another with out ever odin to stock and never had an issue. Or at least issues that really bothered. Seems like its all about personal experience and opinion/preference.

i'm sorry, but that's not a good reason. sure, v3 (jl5) was written before ka5 was released, but you know what else was? jfd and ji6. the rom wipes, so it doesn't matter what the previous version was.

It's been stated it's a matter of personal preference and opinion unless the developer states otherwise. I personally don't mind taking 5 extra minutes to do the to make sure everything is wiped. The above was just one of hundreds of reasons, I can pick another. I have also PERSONALLY flashed ROM over ROM and had issues. If you have not then you are the almighty among us and I worship thee and will build a golden shrine in your honor.
Every single ROM posted has a disclaimer about it messing up your phone. So in allll due respect to the truly talented developers; these ROM are consistently not perfect ports of official releases and cannot be confirmed as a perfect flash overs once they hit the masses.
My SUGGESTION to a nooby(no disrespect just a fact) person that wold even ask this question is to YES Odin back and start fresh. "Why?" because it will keep the forum cleaner since there will be less room for error and extra, "I flashed V5 over V3 and now I am in a boot loop" or "is my phone screwed???" threads...

every rom has a disclaimer so if you mess up your phone you realize it's not their fault (i.e. you probably did something wrong). it's not because they think their roms are going to break people's phones. the exception being oc kernels that explicitly say (and is obviously typically ignored) not all phones can handle the oc.
you can enjoy wasting your time using odin, but just because you probably messed something up flashing between roms, doesn't mean everyone should follow your silly odin ritual. as you have pretty much summed up, you have no real reason or evidence why someone should odin between roms.
again, all vibrant roms wipe, so odin 'back to stock' will do nothing for you. if someone can't be bothered to read the instructions on flashing a rom (i.e. disable all lagfixes), then they either shouldn't be flashing their phone, or may actually learn from their mistake.

but seriously, all jack assery aside, what exactly is it you think odining back to jfd does for you that formatting /data and /system don't?
No, u don't need to do anything, tw's said that if u go from nero to nero, you can, just flash right over it.
U don't even need to disable voodoo.

Theres nothing wrong with going odin to stock re-root then flash a rom. It may be a comfort level with some people. TO EACH HIS OWN! Don't be butthurt because someone doesnt do it YOUR way.
I have an old streakdroid ROM atm and it sucks. Crashes all the time. I was looking at the wiki and a **** ton of ROM versions exist.
It seems from what I have read the the newer ROMs and versions of android actually run faster. Is this true?
What is the best ROM out now and what should I be concerned with? Will my device get banned from the Google Market? (Who cares I can update/install apps manually)
It has been a while since I have flashed. I downloaded the newest rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355878 but I do not see an update.pkg to update.
I know I should do a factory reset before reflashing but I have also heard that flashing from old versions causes problems.
Right now I am running 2.2.2 Android with the 2.6.32.9 DJ_Steve Kernel.
StreakDroid5 v1.9.4
I can put in the work but it seems some things have changed and I just want some direction before I spend the next week reading thread after thread to catch up to what is going on.
What ROM should I use with what mods?

You still have ALOT of reading to do, come back in a several days...
Most of us now are running a gingerbread variant but it has it bugs obviously so I'm begging with to not flash any of these until you have done a lot of reading so you won't be posting senseless threads on your problems... each ROM has it's issues very clearly in it's own threads by the devs so don't create a new thread with an old problem... I can't tell you which is the best because they are all pretty good, the best is up to you
I suggest [ROM] [INTL] [WIP] DSC v0.73
This is probably the best ROM out now. But you no longer update via an update.pkg - its been awhile You will need to install streakmod via fastboot then boot into streakmod to select your dsc.zip update. There are lots of details on how to do this on the DELL STREAK forum.
I wouldn't go with the just out cyogenmod ports - they are bugging and still a major work in progress.
Course this is my opinion but I have installed them all ...many times

Ok just got a vibrant from a friend at work and it was stuck with a phone to pc icon, think he uplugged it while trying to update it, anyway I put it in download mode and used odin to flash it back to stock 2.1 eclair, rooted it and put recovery on it. My question is can I flash a ics rom right from 2.1 or is there a step I need to do in between, dont have experience with flashing roms on this phone, I dont want to get stuck in a bootloop and start all over.

Woodrube has a guide up (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423), and there are a few other threads on it.
Quick synopsis is to flash the Gingerbread bootloaders, ensure voodoo is disabled (shouldn't be there from what you've said you've done) but read through the guide. It's a lot easier than it used to be, but since you're significantly changing the filesystem it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the nod Kaiser.
Rob, if you have any questions, please ask. Best not to have a borked phone.

but Passion is a little outdated. There's more up to date options out there, CM9, SlimICS, (ahem) ICZen, all more up to date and running off android 4.0.4, passion is on 4.0.3, there were a lot of source patches from google, bugfixes, in 4.0.4.
At any rate, glad you got 'er up without issue.

Really give a look at ICZen. I'm sure if you read enough around here you'll find that most people default to that when they aren't trying a new release.
Also keep in mind that kernels play a big role in the performance of ICS ROMs; a whole lot more than they did with Froyo, in my opinion. Devil and Sub-Zero are probably the best ones out from my experience.
I just updated my vibrant from stock froyo to stock gb via kies factory upgrade.
Here are specifics as is: firmware 2.3.6 baseband t959VUVKJ6 kernel 2.6.35.7-t959VUVKJ6-CL694130 build GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
I went through hell today to root and unlock the sim of this phone as its my first day ever messing with android phones.
I was looking at the wiki for the t-959 roms, the "stable" one is barebones and the "cutting edge" one is CyanogenMod 7.2. Barebones pretty much hints you lose functionality and though the other is apparently great, it isn't "stable" and here and there you read a post here and there of someone having some kind of trouble with a feature that just might have worked with the factory rom.
I don't want to sacrifice factory functionality for a phone that looks good or is too modern for the vibrant to handle, I want a rom where I will have no issues whatsoever with things like mms, camera, ics, gps, wifi / 3g sip w & w/o bluetooth (w sipdroid), tethering, installing to sd, that has a promise of performing well for a good while and ideally for the rest of the life of the phone without having to possibly upgrade again.
It seems my best bet is to either just leave my phone as is or go with barebones and install apps as NEEDED, please help, you learn alot in the forum but also you run across soo many contradictions, alternatives and options that its too confusing and time consuming, really, I just want to do this once, quick and get it over with, bam bam bam, done and hopefully never have to mess with it again until it gets smashed or I loose it.
oh another thing, though this phone is rooted unless I insert an SD I can't browse ANY files, either via its ui or via usb... I have a captivate where I can see both sd internal and external via both ui and usb, I'm assuming its a rom issue that once I upgrade to any rom that will be solved.
Well cm7.2 is based on gingerbread which you said you have. It is pretty stable except for possible GPS and 911 issues. Cm9 is based on ICS, its also pretty stable but same possible issues. CM10 is based on jellybean, its in alpha build but considering its fairly stable except for same two issues. As far as looking at files, you need root browser or root explore. Just DL from market. I'm running Der Teufel's Hellybean cm10 ROM. Its really nice. But you said you want to set and forget....ICZen is a good ICS ROM. Its pretty stable and a lot more up to date than gingerbread.

Seeing that this is your first experience with Android, I would say that you need to make sure that you know what you are doing first before you start flashing anything. I am going to save you some serious heartache in just one minute.
First, Kies is notorious for HardBricking phones. Don't use it. You can use Odin or Heimdall to flash back to "stock" whenever you need to. Always good to do when flashing ROMs to have a clean base to start with. Google them and you will find what you need.
And now, here is where I am going to save you tons of trouble and the painstaking issues that WILL lie in your future. When I say that you need to know what you are doing before you start flashing, here is why. YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIBRANT, so don't flash any Vibrant ROMs to your phone. First we never got an official GB ROM, only Froyo. Second the builds that you put up there are to the SHG-T959V. That is the 4g version. Those ROMs won't work in the Vibrant and our ROMs won't work on theirs. Fortunately there is a forum for those and you will find whatever you need in there.
Good luck and be careful and above all read, read, read.
Hey wood, this is the second person I have seen stating they had stock GB on a vibrant. I thought it was weird. I figure if you are not sure what phone you have or what OS your running you shouldn't try to install custom ROM! Thanks for saving that guy!
drool on my chin from a mouth full of jellybeans
You survived kies. That is awesome. But hellybean is awesome.

THe wiki for this with files neded seems to be mostly dead.
I took my tmo g s 4g and upated it with kies mini. it now has t959vuvkj6-cl694130 and I cannot find how to root but have been reading for daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays
Searching forums is cumbersome at best.
Does anyone know where accurate and fresh data is on how to root and use cm10 or any other help for non experts?
I guess I have to use a pc because there is crap info for mac

Thanks, unfortunately super one click is reported as a virus and also doesn't work on mac.
Personally, I would skip any ICS roms entirely. The risk of getting the EU bug (dead internal memory) isn't worth it. Go straight to JB.
