My wife and I had Motorola XT720s and her USB borked out the other day. Our carrier replaced hers with a Vibrant and sent her on her way. Needless to say, she liked the XT720 and wants me to take the Vibrant. Since we have been on the most unholy of manufacturers (locked bootloader and no updates-yep was sold and bought on 2.1 [eclair kernal] over a year ago) I have been maintaining both our phones. We have successfully upgraded our phones to 2.2, miui, CM6/7 all with the locked bootloader and a little erseverance and a lot of adb learning.
My question is what can I do with the Vibrant and what are the better ROMs that you have? I am not affraid to get into the guts of the phone and work from that way. She just got it yesterday and when I got home, she pitched the switch to me, so this weekend, I'll root it, back up and then checkout the forums to see what is what.
Good ROMs/ Kernals (stability v experimental)?
Overclocking?
How to unlock the bootloader? I kow how on Nexus S but that is not this obviously.
Known issues with the phone in general, either software or hardware (i.e power button breaks after 2 mos. Stuff like that)
I already looked at the sticky nOOb guide for rooting. Is that update.zip the best way. Or should I use z4 or Superoneclick? I used Universal Androot before but that doesn't support Froyo kernals.
Basically, what do you like and and your opinions. The decision will be mine but I like to be informed. And I actually do like to read the threads, but we just got this yesterday and wanted to put out the feelers.
Thanks to all for your help and I look forward to the responses.
first, if your hardware locked, youre gonna havr to find the thread on how to unlock... do this FIRST.
We have several roms, they range from stable to fast and unstable
Imo, that would be froyo like bionix to cm7 respectively.. cm7 flys but its batt sucks and gps is practicallu nonexistant (not that good iin froyo tho)
There is oc up to like 1.7ghz tho my phone doesnt do more than 1.6 stable...
Also, never use kies under any circumstance and learn to use odin Well.
Thats my advice... welcome

That's great. Just the sort of thing I am looking for.
Couple of questions.
As far as OC. Is that an app or is it through a differnt kernal. I know that some kernals oc and undervolt or stock cpu and undervolt. There is an app in the market that was for Motorola that was called Milestone Overclock (I know real original right) and with that and SetCPU was able to oc my 550mhz to 1100. Is there a Vibrant app similar?
How do I tell if my hardware is locked? Once I know, then I will search the threads for that. I already saw some in here with regards to how to do it. I already got into stock recovery last night just to check and see if I could (have't put CWR in or rooted yet-will do that later on tonight). Does this mean it isn't HWL or am I completely missing the target?
Odin I assume is what RSDlite is to Motorola. You power up to bootloader, connect to PC and flash "stock" sbf files (which is basically what came in the box). I always like to have that on hand just in case. I'll google and check it out.
Thanks for the info and glad to be here.
Read the noob stockier guide. Has all the info you need. Also in the development section down load the aio vibrant toolbox. Has Odin, all the files you need. I recommend the rom bi winning V3. It has a kernel that can overclock. You need an app for that tho. I like set CPU because it has profile management for off screen, charging etc.. good luck.
To tell if your hardware locked turn your phone off and hold down both volume rockers and press the power button when you see the vibrant logo pop up, keep holding untilled it goes away then pops up again. Then let go of the power. It should boot into recovery mode. It will be black screen with blue letters that say reboot phone, reinstall packages, wipe data. It may take a few times to get the hang of it. If your unable to then your phones is hardware locked.
Okay, youce been in recov so youre not hw locked.... greggory, you only have to hold power button till you see anything oon the screen the first time... holding it after that just makes it hw reboot whivh works, but is a waste of time.
Okay OP, odin has some nice ffeatures that let you flash bootloaders and firmware both.. truthfully, you can flash ANY rewritable media in your phone except internal and external sd from.odin afaik.
Oc requires an oc kernel and an oc app... app for ocing include voltage control, which was made for samsung galaxy s, set cpu, which i dislike, cpu master, no-frills ... all of em work most of the time and i use Voltage control..
Am i forgetting tto address anything?

Ok so I've been using for a few days & I have to say the I really like this phone. Rooted and installed CWR lickity-split. Want to mess around and get more comfortable with surroundings, but have a few questions.
I dl'd Tegrak OC and am using it just fine. Any suggestions on stock kernal settings. Not applying any ROMs/Kernals for now, but setting suggestions would be helpful.
Got USB connection loop. Think I have a fix for that. Need to test some more.
Do I really have to name it update.zip to make "it" work, or can I name it anything else. Tried a few other names and they don't seem to install. Update.zip v buttermilkbiscuit.zip. why?
Does zipthemer work on this phone and do I have to name it Update.zip to make it work?
To change fonts, where do I put ttf? In settings there is a font changer, but where is the folder for that. Know it isn't /system/fonts BC that is a global changer but can't find it anywhere else. Looked in /data, /android and /sdcard. Clues?

I'll flash soon enough, just want to get my feet wet a bit. Only had phone for two days, so still picking and searching. More suggestions on ROMs/kernals, other than above?
Zipthemer is sweet. It takes all unzipped Metamorph.xmls, packages into one .zip and also creates and undo.zip too. Great themer.
There is a font changer in settings, but where is the folder to put the ttf file? /system/font is global, but looked in /data and /android and can't figure where to put it.
Just doing some house cleaning in my account and found this thread. It was my first thread in the Vibrant fora, just 5 short months ago.
Seems like so long ago. Have learned so much since then. Some have gone and some are still here, but I love this phone and the community that supports it.

Lol ... I couldn't resist! Just had to take a peak here - esp. seeing Woody's name and "New to the phone" in the title!! :what:
Woodman ...
The Vibrant fora wouldn't be the same experience without your participation, brother. Your ICS Guide thread (and our extensive GB BL discussion ... lol) originally inspired me to take the ICS leap (as well build the nerve to finally register and participate in threads here - ie. I was a long time "lurker"). Haven't looked back since.
Thanks for your efforts to ensuring all our Vibrant experiences stay ... well ... "Vibrant"!
That is funny. I just went back a re-read that thread. There is some good Q and A in there about all types of scenarios. Alot of familiar names too that have moved up in the ranks of experience as well.

Haha ... I just did the same. That thread could have been called, "Everything you wanted to know about ICS ... but weren't afraid to ask." Hilarious.
I'm not sure what wasn't discussed. We hit all the corners including some homescreen screenshots as icing on the cake. Great (re)read!
I completely forgot that some of the Zen crew had joined in ... Mostdef, bobshute, xriderx66. Lol. :thumbup:

This was fun to read, seeing Wood just entering the Vibrant community. The new guy on the block. Now look at you, you're one of the most recognized Vibrant users.
I remember my first post on XDA. I was messing around with Rom Manager and accidentally installed CWR. You wouldn't believe how much I was panicking, I thought I had bricked my phone! Lol, shows how much I knew.
Actually, that's why my name is "N00B_IN_N33D", because I was a noob who was in need of help. After I figured out how to Odin back to stock, which removed the (what I thought was) evil CWR I thought I wouldn't mess with my phone anymore. However s15274n talked me into flashing a custom froyo rom, Trigger, if I remember correctly. From there I blossomed in my understanding of Android and my Vibrant...
Anyhow, back on topic. It's amazing how experienced people have become here.

The Woodman deserves his due "respect" (but you have to say it the way AliG would to get the full effect). True Zen-like patience and an extremely rare dedication to help people. He's good peoples. No doubt!
Speaking of the way-back machine ... I can't even remember what Froyo was like. Do you? Then there's Eclair (yikes!). :what: I do remember the jump from Froyo to GB was pretty substantial. CM7 with those novel toggle bars and major speed boosts. Then ICS just took the phone to another level.
I remember the first time I rooted my phone, I was soooo damn nervous that I'd end up with a brick. I was just using SuperOneClick ... lol. The first time using Odin after reading all the horror stories here. The first time waiting through the VLF EXT4 conversion (seemed to take forever).
Been a fun ride.

The first time I flashed a Froyo Voodoo kernel, I was in my basement watching a west coast baseball game and it was late. The wife and kids were asleep and like you said, it took forever. Forgot to turn the volume off when I did it. So I am sitting there watching the game and I see the Bali palm tree. I think cool, whatever. I return to the game and out of nowhere, I hear this lady's voice. Thought it must have been the parabolic on TV picking up some lady in the stands. Then I hear it again. Kind of freaked me out until I realized it was LINDA. I'll tell ya, if you are ready for her, she'll freak you the f**k out.
Anyways, thanks for the kind words. I remember one of the many freak out, panic sessions I've had in the past and there was always someone who helped me out. Just feel it is my duty to give back. Now if I can solve this Encryption Error bug, I'll have come full circle. It is driving me nuts.
I remember one of my first threads back in 2009
It was a fake Hero ROM for G1
I bashed on two devs and everyone was pissed at me....then when I moved to the Vibrant I got a clean start

atleast your LINDA issue was panicked and gone.
I was in the bathroom taking a dump while the conversion went on... it freaked me out, and my mom thought i was watching porn in there -.-'
She then told this story at our family reunion... Almost died of embarrassment
I think I'm going to wait awhile on mine. I'm beginning to see others having certain issues that a n00by like me would probably not enjoy All & all I'm happy with my rooted 1.40 Nook. I may just wait for the SD card version of CM7 to play with it. I sure do admire these guys that know how to work with this code and develop OS systems Sure wish I knew how to do this stuff.
I'm perfectly content with the way I currently have my NT set up. Rooted, OTA-blocked, using an alternate launcher, and having a shortcut to the default launcher if I want to read something or browse the Nook Store.
Now if CM9 becomes available on the NT, I might have to give that a shot.
I think some of the main features that a custom ROM such as CM7 can provide are bluetooth and multi-touch (which isn't available yet but currently under development). I'm not sure that's available for a rooted stock ROM. I saw some video of someone using a PS3 controller to play emulated games on their Nook Color so I can imagine that would be a great freature to add on.
I'm going to wait until they do further testing with CM7, at least until they get to a beta stage but I think it's the way to go for me.
I'm just waiting for a sure way to access the nook library. I have some magazine subscriptions that I don't wanna give up.
One of the main reasons I got the Nook Tab is because I saw that people were working on getting CM7/9 going on it. I had a $250 gift card from work to B&N, so it was a winning situation for me. I doubt I would have bought it if CM7 hadn't been on the horizon. I've actually never used it stock, I had it rooted and all B&N stuff stripped off within hours of buying it.
I definitely recommend flashing CM7 unless you are completely married to the stock B&N Stuff, then wait for the SD install method. Flashing CM7 is easier than most of the steps required to root, side load, fix unreadable menu's, etc, all the dumb crap I had to d to make this thing usable.
Almost everything is available in the market. No sideloading, no finding apps with your browser and tricking the market, almost everything works. All my important apps and favorite games have worked with no issues.
Menu's are all standardized, everything is readable, all options are open, just fantastic having all those little pieces working in every app with no fuss or hacks.
Rebooting is so much faster, not sure if it was all the apps I had or what but my reboots took forever with my stock rooted, now are 3 times quicker.
The thing just feels snappier, not sure if it is a placebo effect or not, but definitely feels faster.
Overall it feels like a tablet instead of a hacked e-reader. There may be some bugs that surface and a few things are being looking to, but so far so good
CM7 was the reason why I'm going to get a NOOK... well and the books lol
I installed the B & N app from the market and everything works great. I have been able to use my existing account to purchase books i have been able to move books over onto the Sd card in .epub format and read them. Make sure to fix permissions andcormate cache anddevlick cache if you are updating from first CM7 alpha.
Yeah i love cm7
I was nervouse when i first did it but it turned out all right in the end. Now ive got CWM and titaniumbsckup functionality and i can flash any rom or anything. Not only is cm7 a great new version of the OS but it opens the door to all the other roms that you could ever want to install. Only complaint is that the HD youtube videos lag, but the devs know about it and are fixing it. Id highly recommend it. Hope you take the plunge!

the only thing that worries me is that I have 1 week left to decide if i want to buy the 2 year warranty. what would happen if i need to send in for repairs if it has cm7?
Lined up all the tools I might need if disaster were to strike. Stuck the zip onto an SD card & went for it. I'm not looking back. Warranty? I won't be needing no stinkin' warranty.

I installed CM7 and messed around with it for a day or so. It worked great - with the exception of streaming video. Where HULU and Vulkano (slingbox-like DVR that works with my Directv) were smooth as silk with rooted NT on CWM, the CM7 vers. video would briefly "hang/stutter" from time to time - a bit annoying. Others have reported this same issue, and I know that the Devs are working on this.
Also, I lost all of my B&N stuff - not a huge loss - but think I may wait for the SD card version which, if I understand correctly, will allow me to hang on to that.
That said, I reverted back to the stock 1.4.0 using the "magiccard" method, and then re-rooted with Albert's SD card method (vers 4.50). So, assuming the unit keeps working (will boot,) does anyone know if there is a way for B&N to tell that a unit has ever been on CM7/rooted? I thought the magiccard method basically wiped the partitions and put the stock rom back on.
Thanks! Bob

I purchased my nook tab specifically to tinker with and have no investment in BnN ecosystem. So far I've have some really frustrating problems that took a week or two of research and tinkering to work out. It has been a great learning experience. I now know a little about the inner workings of the Android OS and have a functional tablet to play with while the wife watches Netflix. Getting CM 7 working gave me a real sense of accomplishment. Before getting the tab for xmas I only had experience rooting my Droid 3 (one click method at that), So I am a real n00b too. I just went into this wanting to tackle my own problems. My advice, if you like what you've got, don't fix what ain't broke. - yes I am a hillbilly thankyaverymuch!
2nd post in xda sent from nook tab CM7
I'll try it out if/when an SD bootable version comes out. I read and buy a lot of graphic novels and comic collections that are only viewable via the built-in reader.
For awhile I was just following on the developments and waiting till a stable version was released of CM7 because I was able to do what was needed with stock + root. The other day I decided to do some catching up in the NT scene and figured the CM7 Alpha12 looked pretty stable, so I gave it a shot. I am really glad that I did this, the NT just runs so much better than it did using the stock firmware + root. I am loving CM7 Alpha12 so far. If you were skeptical about installing CM7 due to it's Alpha status and possible bugs, as long as you haven't invested a ton of money into the B&N Store or stream a lot of video content. I think you should give it a shot because TEAM-B has been doing a great job.
Changed my mind and glad I did! !!! Loving CM7
I think I am going to wait for the SD version.
I think after a stable method to root/ block/ flash comes out that us non-devs can execute with consistent success I will try CM7. I am rooted - Thanks Indirect! - but I also had problems with the last time I tried CM7. At this point it's just not worth the extra work to try and fix a borked NT. Having said that, Veronica's ROM here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512373 is pretty awesome looking and I can't wait to try it out.

Not that I know of, have you also tried clearing its cache? Maybe even go so far as to clear the cache and data? If neither of those helps, then something's been tweaked or corrupted in your system; at which point a factory reset/manual update would do the trick I imagine. Be sure to back up all your apps and important information off the internal SD card if it comes to that though.
*EDIT:
Just noticed in your signature that you're unlocked and on a custom ROM. Have you tried a third-party launcher? Could it be an issue with the ROM itself?
Was kinda afraid of that. Its a stock blob in CWM wrapper. So it "shouldn't" be corruption but.... we all know how that goes. I've wiped cache etc and even reinstalled the launcher with root. Same issue develops after a few hours.
Tnx for your help. Which other custom rom would you recommend? I wanna stay mostly stock.

Haha, no clue, I haven't watched the dev thread as well as I should I haven't unlocked just yet due to the drop of warranty and lack of proper nvflash. I would do the same honestly, try and keep stock. Maybe just try an earlier version. I'll have a look at the dev section and see if anything pops out. Have you checked the md5 sums and everything, or just tried redownloading?

I've redownloaded 3 times. Everything else works nicely. I did test the motley kernel, however I've since reverted to stock kernel. And I've wiped and reinstalled after that when the launcher kept crashing. I might give virtuous a try if this continues.
Aye, seems to me as though the ROM just isn't handling the launcher well or has some kind of mem leak or something. Try out Virtuous Prime or Primalicious, they both seem pretty true to stock but Primalicious has less minimalist icons. And it is the stock launcher right?

actually. now both launchers i use crash in the same way.
all items disappear. however i can still swipe, and if i randomly tap things open that should be visible.
i use stock asus launcher. as well as GO launcher HD
it just seems that after awhile of either using or sitting the tablet, the launcher just fails. and it takes me frantically tapping it to bring up the "not responding" text.
otherwise i just go into settings/apps and kill it.
thanks for your help. im going to try out a couple different ROMs to see if it can solve this issue.
seems every device i have ends up with very weird unexplainable issues. and ive changed up everything from device to device (you know, scientific method and whatnot) and can not seem to isolate what causes these problems.

Welcome to electronics and programming Lol, really the most important thing is to start off strong and have a solid base to build from. We haven't though, we're still having to shuffle official updates to try and reach that point. Although I have faith in our dev's and they've worked toward fixing a lot of the issues already, it will only get better once true stock gets stable and the dev's get proper nvflash access. Until then I'm afraid things will be pretty sporadic. That's what we get for falling for all the hype on a brand new device.
*EDIT:
Also, have you set your I/O scheduler to something other than noop? Check out ATP Tweak in the dev sub-forum and see if that doesn't help.

yes, i am sadly very used to unstable builds on my devices. but, its always better than what the original manufacturers release.
and thats just the price to be paid for staying on the bleeding edge of this tech.
i am fairly experienced with the basics of flashing ROM's and beta testing, but i am faaaar from being a programmer/developer so i am not quite sure how to change the I/O scheduler anything past using pre-done scripts like the V8 Supercharger.
ill check out that tweak, thank you again for your help.
i am tring to find something to just stay on. i have been around the block a couple times, cm7, liberty, eclipse, miui, molten, and with every rom it seems there are drawbacks. i want to just settle with one. liberty seems like it so far because im not interested in my phone looking like ICS. only problem with liberty is that music skips pretty frequently, and music is one of my main uses. and im not sure if its just me but even with rc1 cm7, i still have hiccups enough for it to be irritating. im not sure if missing assets themes can cause whole rom issues, but it has been happening with greybread x. i dont know. just looking for suggestions or some direction. thanks guys.
All ROMs have drawbacks. Even stock. Nothings perfect. Since you have been through all those ROMs, you know what there is to offer. And thats pretty much all there is to offer.
you make too much sense sir. stayin on cm7 it is. thank you. i just get itchy for something new i guess. my only gripe about cm7 is wifi being a royal ______. but other than that, do you know if missing asset themes can cause issues? i get this sd cannot be mounted error from time to time. although it says after two or three attempts that it will stay unmounted, its still mounted. jw if you or anyone that you know of have ever had this problem. thanks again man.

I've heard of the SD problem happening but never experienced it myself. And I dont think missing assets would cause problems. Almost all themes say that. Have you ever SBF'd and started all over? If you keep flashing ROM after ROM, sooner or later, there is a possibility of something getting mixed up. A clean start is always good for the phone.
i sbf'd from eclipse to get on cm7. i wonder what could be causing it. if i reboot 5 times usually happens atleast once.
and you rock for trying to help.

Since I have never had the problem, Im wondering when it says "SD card cannot be found" or whatever, is it talking about the internal or external?
This is prolly a really dumb question but I gotta ask anyways...
Just for the heck of it, have you tried another card? It may be irrelevant but worth a try.
or reformat sd card
edit: are you using stock card, think it was 16gb class 4
have a 32gig that is compatable with this device installed. i cant seem to get it to do it again, but when it does ill try to take a screenshot. like i said it says it will be unmounted, yet both cards are still accessable. should i format both through cm7 and see if that helps or how would i do that? thanks sirs.
ell either way its a dealbreaker for cm7. too much bs going on on this rom, i may as well be stock. officially jumping ship back to liberty. i had no problems whatsoever when i was on it.

Both Eclipse and Liberty work well for me, but Eclipse wins since nitro is still providing updates for the dx2.

The music skips has been a problem since release. Nothing seems to fix it 100%.

I've been running the ICS on my (international) note since early May, NO issues.
It's a release version (DBT German Note). The problem stems from the EMMC "brick bug". IF you do a wipe/restore on the Note, with this kernel & the chip that causes it, you can indeed brick the device. Head over to the GT-7000 forums and you can find a wealth of info on the "brick bug".
A lot of heavy & not so heavy flashing users routinely wipe their devices after flashing, to make sure nothing from the old rom is still there. Apparently, the chip inside the note has a little glitch, that has been traced to a fault that corrupts the chip, turning it into a brick. Well, as long as you do nothing to wipe, install a rom that does a wipe automatically, or anything that triggers the bug, apparently, you should be ok.
I'm not a custom flash person. I stay away from everything that is custom and stick with release roms only, since this is also a work device, and I'm not a hacker trying to squeeze every bit of performance from a device. If it does what it is suppose to do, I leave it alone.
The only thing I've done to mine is root it, disable touch whiz, install a custom launcher, freeze/remove the bloat. No over/underclocking or any special scripts.
I've had great luck with ICS, but like I said, I don't screw around tweaking.
Can we please stop with the useless threads about ICS....
this provides NOTHING to what we already know
stop cluttering the threads with useless information

We have plenty of ICS discussions here.
