I am new here, please don't bite.
I have been following the NeoBuddy ICS for a while but haven't jumped in yet. Just picked up a new SD card and want to jump in.
Getting on ICS Passion will be easy with all the great guides. But I am interested in being able to dual boot ICS and 2.2 stock since I require the WiFi Calling while at work. (There is ZERO signal in our building on T-Mobile frequencies)
From what I have read to get back to a stock 2.2 I would have to Odin back, not use Rom Manager? Is this correct? Am I wrong? Am I bothering you?
Thanks for any help.

There is no ability to dual boot the Vibrant (at this time). Going back and forth regularly would be a pain..
Maybe dual booting is the wrong phrasing. Could I backup and restore a 2.2 and a ICS install with Nandroid? And then go back and forth between them?
I am willing to wait for a backup to be restored. I'd rather wait for that than have no ability to receive calls.
I am still trying to grasp the backup and restore process on android phones. This is a hell of a lot to absorb. I am reading as many posts and guides but the underlaying concepts are missing.
Thanks agin.

The recoveries/kernels used are different nandroid doesn't backup kernels. You would end up bricking your phone. To go from ICS back to 2.2 you need to odin back to a stock rom first you can't just flash in CWM. The entire file system is different.

OK I think I got it.
You can flash different ROM's as longs as you are on the same version (2.2, 2.3 ect) and running the same kernel.
But if you want to move between a 2.2 and a 2.3 or a 4.0 you need to go back to stock and go from there.

I'm not 100% sure, but 2.3 might have wifi calling, and as far as my personal experience, you can switch between ICS PASSION and a 2.3 rom as much as you want. I don't know how nandroid backups work though so someone may have to back me up
If you can bounce back and forth with 2.3 and 4.0. Just keep both zips handy. Always format system before flashing. Seems most roms do this auto. Never used nandroid so don't know much on it. Titanium backup pro let's you fast install missing apps without confirming each one. Just don't install with any data.
Also most roms come with a kernel. I'd say find stable 2.3 with wifi calling. I don't know of any quicker way swapping back and forth.

ok Im still learning. I know tw is different framework but would he need to Odin back to stock every time to switch. Or would he be able to flash through cwm. Use a touchwiz based rom with working wifi calling and an ICS rom
Or because it's aosp he needs to Odin back. I know I've had to coming off of any cm or miui to a Samsung rom. I think I'm understanding what your saying now

Just to call attention to the word "pro" - you do have to pay for this feature. This and the Dropbox sync make pro totally worth the price, but I wanted to point out that it's not free.
Very true thank you and well worth it imo. In the free version you do have to manually click install on every app which gets old fast!
So it seems like moving back and forth between roms is not a problem IF it isn't a Samsung ROM. I'd have to Odin back.
If I used/found a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM which had the WiFi calling ported over to it I could then flip between them (by backing them up and restoring them).

T-Mobile WiFi calling needs the Touchwiz framework. Which is only availible in Samsung roms. 2.3 AOSPish roms (CM7, MIUI) do not have the needed framework.

Get yourself a google voice number and groove ip to make VOIP calls. afaik you can forward your cellular number to GV, or just tell your contacts of your GV number.

On the other thread in the Dev section a couple of people on ED05 are having calls not ring and show a voicemail notification even though there was no voicemail left. Makes me glad I waited before flashing it, but then I haven't had many missed calls on ED04. I think I've had two and they were during a time when I was in an area with almost nonexistent signal.

The ones that I read
They only flashed the Radio That were still Missing Calls not the full Package
So that means the problem was not just in the Radio But also in the Kernel
I feel this is the best Stock OS that VZW & Samsung have for this Phone
one of the snappiest STOCK i have ever used.
no missed calls whatsoever , been using it for three days ;P
everything is working great.
Any tests with the GPS done?
I really hope this sticks but this fixed my GPS issue, full stock no gps aids, full just google maps and GPS!
Just wondeing how this update is working for everyone now that it is Offical
Is the radio alone available for flashing? Or do i need to flash the whole package?

I have the full ed05 odin package installed. I have had one voice mail w/ no missed call notification. It happened when I was passing a cell tower with full signal. Not to worried about it tho. Gps is a lot better than previous versions, and the phone is. A lot smoother now. I would say the full ed05 pacakage is a must for people wanting to stick with the stock rom!

I replied you in other thread... you flashed custom froyo ED01 kernel so you are no longer on full ED05 ROM/kernel and that's probably why you had missed call.

Yes i also agree , Ed05 modem alone is useless,
the missed call issue in earlier FROYO builds must have been ( most prolly ) due to the Kernel or may be a bug i the basic framework of the Rom.
so anyone wanting to get rid of the missed call issue should in fact flash the whole Ed05 package
later on you can flash any other modem, like i tried Ec09, worked good i must say, gave me slightly better data speed .
all in all i must say Vzn has for the first time done some good as far as the fassy is concerned, Ed05 is a great setup and i am loving it .

I did flash the full ed05 package... Although in order to keep cwm and root I had to flash the modified stock kernal.tar. Here is what my phone shows
Hardware version: I500.04
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: S:i500.04 V.ED05
Kernal version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: SCH-I500.ED05
Edit* I went ahead and reflashed the ed05 package. After flashing I let it boot up, checked the kernal version and its the exact same as posted above? Anyway I flashed the cwm all.tar but not the stock kernal.tar, then I 3 finger salute to recovery, installed the su 2.3.6.x.zip and rebooted. After booting back up and verifying root, booted back into cwm and restored nandroid backup. I guess there was no need for the modified stock kernal for what Im doing because everything works the same. I was under the impression that the modified stock kernal needed to be flashed in order to keep the stock recovery from replacing cwm, but that was not the case in my situation.
alright, I have a friend with a vibrant and i have rooted her phone so that i could make a NAND for her. i want to flash a rom for her and i have decided on either CM7 or MIUI and i'm leaning more towards MIUI so i was wondering which of the Vibrant MIUIs is the best. I've seen quite a few in the Bible but can't really decipher much of a difference between each of them and even the official MIUI. so any sugestions?
I'm also open to suggestion for any other roms. And if you flash from a Froyo to GB rom, do you have to ODIN bootloaders?
in my experience miui lithium 4 seems to work the best cause battery life is better than most gb roms and is smooth and stable with tons of customization. You don`t really need gb bootloaders (i never flashed them cause if you screw up then your phone will be brickd)
hope that helped

i don`t think there is but don`t take my word for it
I wouldn't mess with bootloaders on your female friends phone without her permission, as that's one of the very few ways you can completely kill a phone.
Anyway, if CM7 and MIUI are your popular choices, fear not. Only ROMs based on i9000 International Galaxy S leaks require Gingerbread bootloaders. MIUI and CM7 are built from the ground up.
Since this phone is going to a girl, I would definitely go with MIUI. The theming available will blow her mind.
There are 4 different MIUI variants for the Vibrant. The stock MIUI for the Vibrant, the stable Revamped SS version, the more experimental Lithium version (same creator as SS. Lithium is the ROM where he tests things), and finally there is the stock MIUI with the Enhancer Mod flashed over it.
If you want the least fuss + features, I recommend using the SS version. All the good tweaks, and very stable.
Thanks for the advice. Is stared out on a Vibrant but never flashed anything custom to it and then i got fthe SGS4G where you need the correct bootloaders to access recovery so i wasnt sure if it was the same for the Vibrant. When i flash MIUI, can i do a CWM data restore or should i just use Titanium Backup, etc. to backup and restore through that?
Sent by Thor from Valhalla using the xda app
When you first flash MIUI, it'll install the stock MIUI kernel which should give you ClockWorkMod 5, with all the toys normally associated with ClockWorkMod. The only catch is that MIUI as well as CM7 will change your file system to yaffs2, so the only way to return to a non MIUI/CM7 ROM is to ODIN back to stock. You can't restore a Froyo backup because the backup uses the wrong file system and you'll get boot loops.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes. You can backup files and apps the same as with any other ROM using Titanium manager or an equivalent program. MIUI even has it's own backup called MIUI backup that is often recommended over Titanium Backup by developers.
Oh, but of course don't restore any system apps you picked up from earlier ROMs. That'll royally screw up MIUI. Just 3rd party apps.
Hey guys, My current rom right now is CM7 with imoseyens kernel, its great and all but i am experiencing things i didnt experience before i.e. bugs and lags and I am just wondering how can i go back to the original cm7 rom+kernel without loosing all my apps (cracked ones). Thats all i really care about. I am rooted via the 1 click root in ScoobarSTI's tutorial in the general section. Thanks for reading
Just back up the apps using Titanium back up. You should really pay the Devs. And I've experienced problems with the imo kernel I'm on sense now tell there's a actually a kernel with no bugs on aosp.
I have have so much apps and i wish i could support them all unfortunately i can only support a couple
If your going to be using the same cm7 again then just flash it on top of your current setup. I will retain your apps and flash the stock kernel again.
Well, I am learning a lot of things on HOW TO ANDROIDS. I am glad my iPhone broke and that I got an android now. It's so awesome, I decided to go with Thunderstick since it has a working MyVerizon and NFL Mobile. Thanks for your help guys.
ya, just use titanium backup. and make sure to backup your rom, so if you do lose your apps somehow, you an just restore the rom and get them back
I recently picked up a GP 4.2. I immediately got it rooted so now I'm running a 2.3.6 stock rom with root. What's the next step in terms of getting a recovery installed and maybe moving up to an ICS or JB rom? I've kind of poked around a bit but it's some what confusing with all the other types of GPs in the same area. Does anybody have a recovery and rom they'd recommend? Is using rom manager to push CWM feasible?
I would recommend the ChaOS ROM/Kernel which includes CWM. It is one of the few available ROMs for this device right now but offers a lot of great features. You can also install an S3 or Jelly Bean theme with the ChaOS ROM. Here's the link to the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279806. I do not believe using ROM manager to push CWM is feasible on this device. Also, CM7 will most likely make it on to this device very soon. I would recommend watching for that in the near future. I know it can be a hassle trying to weed through the Galaxy Player forums to find 4.2 information but it's all we've got. Hope this helps and welcome to the SGP 4.2 community!

Thank you for the info Meta. I'm somewhere around the mid-high mid level with flashing and rooting but slogging through trying to find the right info for a GP 4.2 was getting a bit hectic. I think part of it was the way some people abbreviate the model compared to others. I just wanted to make sure I didn't brick the device.
I got it mainly for a perm, in-car music and GPS/navigation provider instead of always looking to my phone to do it. One thing I noticed about the rom, it mentions installing it via CWM. If I don't have CWM yet, can this rom get pushed by odin or do I have to get CWM first and then flash the rom?

Ok thanks. I also have a question regarding flashing kernels. In the linux world (and other os world), randomly changing your kernel is a big no no that would lead to major compatibility issues. I don't understand how people can mix and match kernels, roms, firmware, bootloaders, recoveries and everything else? There won't be conflicts?
Regarding the kernel available for the 3.6: what do I do if I encounter stability issues with it and, say, the upcoming CM7? I wouldn't be able to go back to my original kernel because I didn't have CWM to back it up in the first place. Won't I be stuck with a potentially faulty kernel?

In changing kernels in the android world, you have mixed results. There are times a kernel can cause some issues but for the most part (we're talking like 98%), if an XDA dev posts a kernel and lets you know you can use it, you can trust it. These devs no matter the device spend painstaking hours ironing things out. Also, many of them have a select group of people testing the kernel for faults and issues. In a very active community, if a well known dev posts a kernel, you can trust it. HOWEVER...no matter what we think or believe or what we're told, every device is a unique and beautiful snowflake. Back up back up back up BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP your stuff. If you want to be super ULTRA safe, take the back up and download it to your PC or somewhere safe.

Ok thank you. However, will this work with YP-GS1?
But about kernels, on the webpage where I downloaded the stock rooted rom http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=166 it says specifically that the Wifi module in system and kernel must MATCH. This is what I'm talking about in regards to kernel compatibility with roms. How do I know if a kernel I'm downloading will have changes applied to it that will work with another rom like with this stock rom/kernel?
Well in order-I used odin to flash CWM. Once it rebooted, I saw the Galaxy SII boot anim. Used Rom Manager to have it boot to CWM. From there I flashed wifi fix, the rom and then the mod pack. My build number is gingerbread-ueld3. From what I can tell, I think I'm all done. At first I was like hrmmmmm. Doesn't look much different. When I hit the toggle bar though, I could tell it had changed. The process was all very simple after I got headed in the right direction with CWM. That was my only confusing start point for this.
Edit-my bad. The rom didn't take on the first flash. I could tell by the build number. Reflashing the rom and the s3 addons. Hrmmm. Might be boot looping. It's going through the comet and coming up to the white samsung, vibrates a few times after a bit and goes back to the comet with no sound.

Well in order-I used odin to flash CWM. Once it rebooted, I saw the Galaxy SII boot anim. Used Rom Manager to have it boot to CWM. From there I flashed wifi fix, the rom and then the mod pack.

Well I had to flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198234 to get CWM on mine. I haven't actually flashed anything with CWM because there doesn't seem to be any good roms for the 3.6 unless CM7 comes out sometime. I used Odin to flash a stock rom from here http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=166

Poop. I think I bootloped the sucker. I can use Odin to reflash the stock, rooted rom just like I did when I got it first rooted right? Do we have another rom for the 4.2 I could try flashing? Not sure why it has bootlooped. I even went back into CWM, did a factory reset, flashed only the rom (no addons) and same thing. Possible bad download? It is flashing from the internal SD as my CWM is not seeing my external SD.

I have been meaning to post this on the dev thread for awhile. I thought this problem might only be for certain people but I think it applies to US and maybe non-EU devices. I believe that the ChaOS ROM will bootloop on US (YP-GI1/XAA) devices if you do not install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279450) for whatever reason. I spent days trying to install his ROM and bootlooping.
The way I successfully installed (if I remember correctly):
-Do a factory reset of rooted stock ROM
-Boot to CWM (meaning you have already flashed the custom kernel) and install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock (put all install files on internal SD)
-Boot to CWM, wipe davlick cache under "advanced", wipe cache partition, and install the ChaOS ROM
-Wait a little while and your device should boot up properly
I hope this works for you. If it doesn't let me know and I can help you further. If this does work for you too then I will post this on the ROM's thread for other users.

SerkTheTurk said it very well, you do not need to worry, but if you also want to do a backup before you install the custom kernel you could use the adb tools on the computer to backup the device. I'm sure you could learn how to do that with a quick Google search.

ell there's not really much point in backing up the kernel when I've already downloaded it on my computer.
I've since flashed KingOS rom and don't really notice any differences at besides a few color changes... what's all the hype about?

Xen-it seems GPlayer development is still fairly newish. the work you see from devs now are all ground work. For the 4.2 and 3.6, they seem a little less dev populated than the 4 and 5. People will build upon the work of early devs and eventually get kernels that can OC and maybe ICS and JB roms. At this stage, we likely won't see anything like ZOMG earth shattering until people spend time with the devices. Seems Serk is on his way to doing the best he can for 4.2 but I am not sure who is tackling 3.6
It's weird how roms for devices go. I learned this when I had a tbolt and shockingly saw a FUNCTIONAL JB rom for my old Eris while the tbolt was still hanging back in ginger land with not even a really good ICS rom let alone JB. I asked the Tbolt community-why? How is it the dinosaur Eris has JB and not us? It all depends on what the devs can do with the sources provided. Sometimes certain hardware points are sticky. you can have beautiful JB rom for a device that can't talk to the camera if the hardware source isn't made available (reference the HP TP for many years)
For now, flash what you're comfortable with and and learn what you do and don't like. Also learn if you want to play things safe and not experiment or take on potentially beta builds. For the tbolt, tackling an ICS rom was too dicey so I never did. On my new Rezound, I eat up JB roms as they are in much better shape
Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I flashed the latest TWRP to my device using Rashr from Google Play store.

Upgrading my recovery now, yay! I also have the Phase kernel because I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Backup, backup, backup. If TWRP successfully installs then backup. If something goes wrong you can revert everything or just the boot partition. (Kernel)
