I'm new to the whole rooting scene but I used to jailbreak and upgrade ipods and stuff like that. I had an videos u8150 before this and it worked great roms and all. I have cm7 on this vibrant but I wanted to know is there either a way to get the stock vibrant camera flashed on cm7 cause I hate this one, or a stock 2.3.x rom with the old can like in 2.1 in the original firmware. Sorry if I post in the wrong spot I just need help asap. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

Common request.
Sorry, no, it cannot be done.
Ok thanks and sorry I'm still new here any roms with the old camera or any way to tether on 2.1? Really that's the reason I upgraded
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
give it some time. you might find that the camera app is actually more functional.
Short answer is Yes there are other camera flashes you can put on the phone, you will have to do the research I do not remember which are the best. There are some Of the Market that will flash over the CM7 Camera as well
This is being moved to Q & A...... next time if it is a questions please put in Q&A
Ok thank your for the answer and sorry will do next time I was just in a hurry for now I restored back to stock because I love cm7 but the only reason I wanted to upgrade was for tethering and when the camera changed it kind of dissapointed me. Ill ask in Q and A next time. Also is there any way to maybe rip the cam out of the cm7 zip so I can reflash and keep the old cam? Like I said im new to all of this. Thanks for the help again!

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.
Anyone have a direct download link to the unoffical tmobile froyo 2.2 leak update/Rom? And is there anyway to install it without a pc.my internet is down at the moment. Thanks

there's a flashable version posted somewhere in the development section.
also if you flash that version.. u might need to install busybox available in market.
i couldn't go to recovery when i flashed it, at least in my case.

2) everytime i flashing new rom, does I need to ODIN it back to JFD?
3) i saw quite alot ppl talking about lagfixed. what is that?

You guys don't have to be so rude or disrespectful I haven't been on these fourms for a while and as I been rootin my phone I never once saw amywhere saying that.

in general just reading the op of the rom you are downloading will tell you everything you need to know.
as to your gps woes it will be a while until the vibrant has functioning gps on CM7 (waiting on a gingerbread leak and source code as i understand it) so my suggestion to you would be to get an external bluetooth gps receiver like the ones discussed in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15466429#post15466429
I personally have the one mentioned in the op and i can tell you that it works 500% better than the stock gps on the vibrant ever did (either on eclair or froyo)

the reason that it seemed like the sky fell on you was, first you asked a question that has been asked in the thread that it should be asked in, oh about every 5 posts since cm7 for the vibrant was released.
But what really took it over the top, was you felt the need to make a separate thread about it, and even went so far as to say that cm7 broke your gps. had you read probably 3 of the last pages in the cm7 thread before posting this, you would have known you answer, and probably had you opened the vibrant dev section and viewed threads there, you'd have seen the public service announcement thread about gps not working.
I know some of the responses are inappropriate, but it's more about you felt entitled enough to make a dedicated thread about it rather than using the tools available to you in the first place to find your answer.

the answer to this question and more can be found by opening the vibrant dev section, and first reading the thread titles, followed by reading the first post in the rom your interested in, and looking for a place where they list what isn't working/broken.

Noted, I do plan on flashing another rom, but I am a little scared. I am reading CM7 is different from most roms and I would have to flash a new kernel and rom and etc to have it, but im still a little confused on how to do it
While I am also shocked you missed this... to answer your question, you may prefer a rom like Trigger 3.2. Its rock stable, has gps, and is themed well. it is not GB.
If you HAVE to have GB, try Asgard.

i'm not going to explain howto here, as the post right abvove mine has a link to a how to, you'll need to odin back to jfd before flashing any other rom besides miui.
basically all Froyo/Eclair Roms Have working GPS. The Big Name JVP Roms have working GPS. CM7/Miui and any variants of them do NOT have working GPS.
so just goto the development section and look at any 2.3.4 Roms NOT cm7/Miui and read the features and/or Changlog for full information. SGSII clone/hybrid and Simply Honey are excellent choices both based off JVP and have "working" gps. just make sure you read the op to understand how gps functions with those roms.
Good Luck.
just make sure you ODIN back to JFD stock before flashing anything else or you'll experience bootloops and thats annoying imo.
****** Stay away from Bootloaders if your new to all this as you can Permanently paperweight your phone if you flash a new rom hastily without reading and removing certain load files in the rom. *******
Well thanks guys I will look into it, If I go back to stock does that mean it will be unrooted? or just rooted but stock everything else?
second whats gb?
also I found a post that has a guide to undoing some stuff so im able to flash another rom besides CM7 ones so I might look into that one

GB = Gingerbread
Android Releases
Stock Vibrant 2.1 (Eclair
Froyo 2.2+
Gingerbread 2.3+
you should have a modified update.zip from rooting originally you can use that to reroot your phone and begin flashing again
Odin back to stock
3 button to recovery
update packages until you reach clockwork recovery menu then flash new rom its that easy.
if you want full functionality stay away from CM7/Miui for the time being.

you should have 3 things on your PC
Odin3 (i have V1.81)
512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
that will get you to stock.
then from there follow the 3 button method i posted above to reroot.
and to answer your question yes the guides will work fine. and again i can't stress this enough stay away from Bootloaders, as your knowledge and research about flashing seems lacking atm you can perma break your vibrant (not meaning this offensively)
Thanks man, I will try this soon =]
I have already odined back to 2.1 Kies mini isn't working. I'm sure the files are somewhere in these forums :S

I LOVE the blazers! I live in Vanc and work in Portland. You think Oden will do well? Either way im glad rudy is gone

If it just started with the rom you installed, try a different rom. If a new rom doesn't fix it, search the vibrant dev board for gps fix, you will find two types, the software fix, and if that doesn't work, the hardware fix, which worked great for me. Good luck!
Edit: reread that, if you are on stock, skip the new rom part. ;-)

Hey Snake. Check out the link in my sig to a GPS fix. It is easy and I can get a lock with 8-10/13 birds down to about 10-20ft. It works really well. The whole thread is about 7 posts long so not too much reading either.
Ok thanks for the info guys and will do wood thanks.
