I just read that a GingerBread ROM was leaked to the Galaxy S 4G. I also know that the Vibrant has slightly different GPS hardware than the other Galaxy S series phones, which is why Captivate ROMs had functional GPS long before the Vibrant.
However, if the Galaxy S 4G has the same GPS as the Vibrant, this could save the developers a lot of time and headache if they just rip off the drivers and lib files from this new leaked ROM. See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125747
Have you been asleep the last couple of days? Those files were already pulled and are working on gingerbread jvp ports.

Yep. It will be soon when GPS will work on 2.3 base.
I haven't been asleep, I just didn't realize that the GPS fix they were working on came from the Galaxy S 4G leak. I just found out about that leak today, and figured I'd try and make someones' life easier. I go through the Gingerbread ROMs every couple of days to check their progress, because as much as I want Gingerbread and working Netflix, I can't lose my GPS. Thanks for answering!
alright Thanks guys.
netflix does work already and its on the market

I, too, went with the Gingerbread Blitzkrieg today. Had to do the full smash since I was coming from a 2.2 ROM. Unfortunately, it seems to have killed my entire ability to do ADB. USB Debugging is activated, but plugging it into my computer doesn't allow me to "see" my phone, despite multiple reboots of both devices.
So far, everything is fine, but it keeps me from being able to use either ODIN or HEIMDALL.
I feel really vulnerable without these safety nets. I'd love to try again by flashing my Backup Restore in CWM, but I can't find anything that says whether or not that's safe when you have GB bootloaders and a GB Kernel...
*sigh* More Research.
Are you sure your computer can't see the phone when its in download mode? I would give it a shot.
Also a nandroid restore should work fine, but you'll have to flash a froyo kernel before or after the restore.
Got it...

Yes, it wouldn't see it at all. Finally got it to work after about the 10 reboot. My computer finally did the whole installing Samsung Device Drivers (as if it hadn't done that 50 times). Probably just my computer, which is not entirely what I wish for...
Anyway, I'm going back because I need to have control of my camera, even at the end of the battery. I use it for tutoring, and I need to know I can use it until the very end.
Something will be worked out soon, though, I'm sure.
Thanks for the responses and the care, guys. You're all that makes XDA such a wonderful resource.

Hey all, Android + Thunderbolt + XDA Noob in the house (nice video)
I tried to download perfect storm and then gingeritis, only to see that anything linked through themilk.com seems to have gone down! Been down since last night.
I'm rooted, backed up, using clockwock, looking for a stable Rom. Have tried GB debloated and froyo debloated, was more impressed with froyo due to the lack of bugginess. In GB for example, I could not mount the SD card into windows because , apparently, it required different drivers which i was not able to find. Perfect storm caught my eye as a very efficient Froyo that is compatible with MR2 (which i upgraded, because i wanted the option to switch to CDMA only when im at work, which is literally 30 meters out of 4g range) .
But.. everyone is telling me to go with gingivitis because it is a polished GB. If i can mount my drive properly on GB that would be cool... i also noticed GB stock was simply not as smooth... though people claim OCing the processor to 1.4 helps that. Being a PC overclocker i worry about the extra voltage and heat that might result, but to be honest ive done no Thunderbolt overclock research yet.
So...the question is you need the drivers? I'm still on froyo and cm7 so I'm not much of a help here.

It doesn't require different drivers, when you plug it in and can choose "charge only/disk drive/internet pass through" select pass through, wait about 5-10 seconds, then choose disk drive mode.
I was also wondering if people had Perfect storm 1.5 and gingivitis 1.0 mirrored somewhere.

is there a way on the rezound to make the usb port a master? i need to connect an external hard drive on the go and dont want to carry around a laptop. if it is possible i would like to be able to switch between it being a master or slave at any time with convenience. any help is appreciated. thank you
I believe you will have to wait for the aosp builds that have it as an option. I could be wrong though.....

Just an FYI, but this is called USB OTG (On-The-Go), I believe.
Not sure if Rez supports it (haven't seen any confirmations really). I know there's a few threads about it... but haven't seen any "definitely works."
There is no need for two threads on the same thing.
I believe dsd's new kernel supports USB OTG.
I havn't tested it out yet myself.

kernel may support it I believe there's no Rome in place to utilize it. odds are it'll be soap based and that kernel is just a ported from gb so it'll be awhile before more truth is shed. to most it's not considered a high priority

ok ill run my problem in this thread too, maybe i can get this working. i posted this question/problem in another thread too and i dont know how to reference via link to other thread thru my SGP so forgive me for double posting.
this is what i did, i downloaded dd_03052012.zip from entropy. unzipped it in winrar. then when i tried adding the tar to pda section of odin, it wasn't there (but if i were to open its folder thru win explorer then i would see it) just odin wasn't recognizing it. so i renamed the zimage file with .tar at the end, now odin sees it so i go ahead and add it into pda field and push start (player was in download mode) odin said reset....then after a couple secs it said passed! and then it reboot itself...still stock kernal. please help, I've literally been working on this for twelve hours with a break to go grocery shopping thanks in advance.

How to flash .zip releases:
Put it on your sdcard, enter CWM, flash the .zip using CWM
If you do not have CWM, install an older .tar release then flash, or follow the "Any rooted device" instructions above, but extract the zImage from the .zip instead of a .tar

2. Download this kernel:
DD_01142012.tarThen, place it on the desktop directory, or an otherwise easily accessible directory, on your computer.
Do not attempt to unzip it or manipulate it in any way!
3. Run ODIN.
4. Now, put your SGP into download mode by holding the volume down + power button until your device turns back on with a yellow construction-like sign.
5. Insert USB cable now, and ensure that ODIN has recognized the device by looking to see if a device is registered in the ID:COM field.
You should see something like this: 0:[COM11]
Now, you're ready to flash the kernel!
6. In the ODIN interface, press the PDA button and navigate to the directory where you saved the kernel you downloaded and double-click to open.
7. Now press START and wait about 20 ~ 30 seconds to finish the flash.
As this is but a kernel, and not a ROM, the flash time will be short!
8. ODIN WILL REBOOT YOUR DEVICE FOR YOU!
9. Now you should have entropy512's kernel on your device.
Good Luck!:good:
P.S. - Once you've flashed the original .tar file, you should have CWM active on your device. From this point forward, you should put entropy512's kernel updates on your SD Card and flash them from CWM and NOT ODIN!
You have to flash the CWM.tar in Odin PRIOR to even TRYING to install the kernel.
Once you have CWM, place the dd_1234567etc.zip AS IS in the root of ext sdcard.
Flash .zip in CWM.
Done.

dude..i LOVE u!! thank u sooo friggin much ur help. i actually did all of that exactly last night but to no avail. but what you did to help me was when you said something like 'download the tar and dont unzip it or manipulate it in any way'...i never unzipped it before either but when i downloaded it, winrar would automatically turn it into a 'winrar' file. so in a sense, my computer was "manipulating" it, so i uninstalled winrar (7zip is better anyways) and voila, everythings kosher. thanks dude. i wouldve never have thought of that if it wasnt for that one piece of instruction.
so i have done entropys updates yet, but when i powered it off to try out cwm (it was still plugged into cpu) it powered off and kept re-cycling the powering off action, until i disconnected it from cpu and everything was fine. i wonder if thats normal. anyhow, i trust the rest of my tinkering will fruitfull...thanks again bro.

What you mentioned is a known bug. It is kernel related. You cannot charge via USB plugged into a computer. Although, can charge via USB plugged into a wall.
In order to get to CWM mode (aka recovery mode) follow these steps:
1. Press and hold Power + Volume UP
2. The device will reboot and you'll see the Samsung logo. Don't let go yet!
3. The device will reboot once again. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of only the power button.
4. You should now be in recovery mode.
This is how I do it on my SGP 5.0 Korean model. The USA model may be different, and you may be able to skip STEP 3.
Ok sweet...well ive literally been playin around with this player since we spoke last. Im makin it tailored to my liking, however, theres one big and one small problem im having. The small one which isnt really anything is that when the players off and i plug it into wall charger the battery screen pops up but it doesnt display any juice in it - so im not even sure its charging in off mode, but it charges while its on no problem. Big problem is that when i have my earplugs plugged in, the player randomly owers the volume all the way to mute by itself and after i raise vol again it lowers it back down. But once i unplug earphones then the vol behaves again. I dont think its the earphones cuz theyre bose and i doubt they would make a faulty product (although its possible i suppose). Other than those two problems, everythings perfect. Any ideas? Tried doing a search on volume bug to no avail. Thanks!

A couple of questions:
1. What ROM are you using? *
2. What app are you using to listen to music? **
*The reason I ask is because the charging issue could be a ROM issue. I am running Supermaster34's CM9 build on my SGP 5.0 Korean model and if I charge my device while powered off I can see the juice registering in the battery. It could also be a kernel issue. Since I have a Korean model, I use an entirely different kernel, which could provide an entirely different outcome.
**As for the volume issue, I thought that it could be software related. Be sure there is not a automatic volume minimizer setting within the app itself. It could also be kernel or ROM related.
I am not an expert on kernel or ROM issues, but there are definitely people in this forum that could give you a proper developer's response. But, go ahead and answer those questions and I'll see what I can help you with.

Not necessarily. GB doesn't manage ram too well IMO so games still tend to lag at times. ICS has better ram management, its still not perfect, but most games run pretty smoothly

If you're not too adamant about using the camera on your device, I'd say Supermaster34's CM9 build is a great way to go. He even put together a Bluetooth patch, so really the only things that aren't working on CM9 for the SGP 5.0 are the camera and hardware acceleration.
Like I mentioned earlier, that's the ROM I use, and I don't have any volume or RAM issues. In most instances, CM9 runs quite smooth for me, except for a couple widgets that really need hardware acceleration to be optimal (and, I stress the word optimal).
Better yet, we have some amazing developers in the SGP forum that are working tirelessly to get CM10 (Jelly Bean) working on our devices, along with a 3.x kernel for hardware acceleration and addressing other bug issues.
Worst case scenario, you could use stock ROM rooted for optimal performance.
Sorry to throw my two cents in but if you want to keep your camera, format the file system to ext4. If your fimilar to quadrent benchmark, this is my score after the ext4 file system tweak. I compared it to my dad's SGP 5 with the same rom and he got under 1300 so this tweak is a must have.

My friend, that's what we all do around here. Flash as many ROMs as you like. Just be sure to always keep a backup in CWM recovery! Also, take care to flash ROMs that are meant for your device. Always read the OP of any ROM's thread to make sure there is no technical detail overlooked.
Be cautious, but have fun.:good:

Hello, I read some threads about OTG Cable, so I got one, too. Pendrives are running fine but mo keyboard or mouse. Although if I connect mouse it lights but no cursor and no action. I run 2.3.6 GB XWKL1 (DDKL1 Kernel) stock. Is there any chance to get a patch or judt drivers to meake it work? I don't really like to use MOD's..
This is a problem with the stock kernel. You need to install a custom kernel like Siyah to get keyboard/mouse/gamepad support over USB.
I also suggest you update to official 4.1.2 while you're at it, since there's not much of a reason you'd want to stay on 2.3 anymore.

There is a reason! 3 days of battery life instead of less than 20hrs of my usage. And 2.3.6 is much clearer. I didn't hear ever that upgrade to 4.1 gave a good reason to upgrade and drain battery like hell for nothing. Functionality came out of apps not stupid battery-draining stuff.
You can't with 2x.
That's interesting because when I had Galaxy Ace which runs GB 2.3.6 it worked with any keyboard and mouse I did connect.
