man, eh03 is terrible. that bing just kills me, i hate even seeing bloatware, and i get lockups on my n64 emulator. now, according to @hhp_211 i can't really use jellybean because my sd card class is too low. (it's a 16gb Samsung class 2 card, highest storage i got). so i plan on going over to CM7 tonight. but before i do that, i have some questions.
1. do i have to Odin stock again before flashing CWM and CM7?
2. can i upgrade from CM7 to CM10.2 once that becomes a daily driver thing without odining back to stock?
3. what are some of the enhancements in the CM7 kernel?
thanks
@skepticmisfit
1. do i have to Odin stock again before flashing CWM and CM7?
answer = Nope
2. can i upgrade from CM7 to CM10.2 once that becomes a daily driver thing without odining back to stock?
answer = Yep ,,, you can, but depending on how much you do with any ROM,,, going back to stock and then up whatever ROM gives you the best chances that no garbage [so to speak] would get carried over during flashing
3. what are some of the enhancements in the CM7 kernel?
answer = I'll have to really defer that one to others,, although I ran several Roms/kernels back then I understood a whole lot less than I think I do now :cyclops:

thank you. you have been the biggest help for me for the past couple of days
oh and CM7 is butter-smooth, btw. didn't know the built-in kernel was gonna be missing voodoo sound, which i kinda want. glitch has it. also the RAM seems to be really low in stock CM7 kernel, like it's only 338 MB. even lower than CM10.1 and stock TWGB, which were 369 and 379 MB, respectively

Hello everyone! I recently began contemplating rooting and doing custom installs for my 959, for something fresh and better performing, also seems my music player has been acting up recently and am really interested in something new along with voodoo sound... If necessary anymore ? Thing is, there are so many ways to root, and there are so many custom roms??? I don't know where to start or what to look for? I just want one of the better, stable, new custom roms available as of this date for the t-959. I search but seems there's no definitive answer? Just a lot of roms haha?
Also when downloading a rom, do I have to download like 30-40-50 kernels and add them? I see all these roms, kernels and update??? Is it just download a rom and that's it, am I making more of it than it should be?
I'm just really noob'ish, really confused, and really, really nervous! I can't afford to brick this phone, but I really want something new.
Thanks for reading, and I apologize for some of the silly questions I have asked .
I fell in love with rom flashing as it greatly improves performance and gives phone a new look. Especially since Vibrant isn't supported anymore.. I can't live without voodoo goodies=) Definitely improves sound.
Negative side of custom roms is it takes up some of your time.. Finding a rom you like, tweaking it.. Not too mention you might brick you phone.
If you decide so.. the most important thing is always read OP...
I used superoneclick to root. I recommend Bionix 1.3.1 as a first rom very stable though a bit outdated. After playing around with the rom, you can try different 2.2 kernels and modems. Then go on to gingerbread roms.=)
Extremely easy. I'd suggest reading some of my guides in my signature.
I would Odin
Then download a ROM (nothing else needed)
Download my option b update.zip
Move both to internal sd
Reboot into recovery
Click reinstall packages
Choose to install zip from sd, select ROM, reboot.

Thank you trailblazer and thanks s15....
Any roms you would recommend s15? I appreciate the starting rom you gave me Trail, I'm looking for something a little more up to date I suppose? I was looking at cm7 or Simply Honey 5.0 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4)? Something with voodoo already in it? Something pretty stable with a bit of features. Maybe a lil less lag than stock 2.2, better performance, audio and battery life as well?
Thanks so much again both!
cm7 in nightlies still, though seem pretty stable, i havent tried for a while. Lots of features though dont think battery too great.
Simply Honey is a good one, stable, lots of features, great developer support.
I'm currently on RevolutionRom 2.3.4, stable and smooth for me, only bad is itfreezes like once or twice a day. More of a sgs2 look which i like. Good battery.
FYI Flashing Gingerbread roms, you will need to flash gingerbread bootloaders to remove rainbows and see recovery ( theres a post on it)
Also GPS isn't stable on gingerbread.

I think I'm gonna try the simply honey one or wait till he does a final release?, as for the bootloaders, what do I do or go to there? Also for the kernels, do I need to download one for simply honey? Should I download one for it?
I seen some roms or kernel can improve wifi and signal? Is that true, if so point me in that direction hahaha...
Thanks so much bro by the way.
search for Vibrant gingerbread bootloader, it's flashable via odin..simply honey roms comes with bullet kernel & there's Simply Honey Talon Kernel build by simone201 =)
Thanks man, do you mind if I ask which one you would recommend (Odin or Clockwork?)... I stumbled upon this youtube how to called "Custom ROM installation tutorial for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant)", and was just wondering if I can apply all his methods to SH 5.0? Sorry tried to link it but cannot due to my post count... Oh and when I'm done, how should I proceed with the new talon kernel?
Also if there's a new release of honey or the final release, say I installed this one... Do I have to do it all over again? Same wit kernels? Finally, do I need to revert my unrooted stock 2.2 froyo back to a previous version before gingerbread or any of this?
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually feeling like it's almost go time with this rom and kernel haha. Really thanks heaps!
D bootloader is only flashable by odin..you can read the OP for simply honey, what you need is all in there in d development area..flash kernel that works 4ur phone u decide on that wether bullet or talon..you can use sgs kernel flasher to switch bet the two..

One last question before I do this, I seen SH 5.1, but I seen it was for the i9000? Which one should be used? or the one you may recommend? Im looking for voodoo sound controls.
Thanks
EDIT:
Nevermind I read it will be up tomorrow... gonna do 5.1, this is pretty exciting as long as I don't screw anything up hahaha
i reverted back to stock firmware via odin and one click rooted my phone, factory wiped all data and now I remember after I rooted my phone I had unzipped file in my sd card and it told me that i can just delete it after I was done, well i did and then watched a video on clockwork that said not to delete it?
EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it, I just unrooted and rooted again...
So sorry for being a pain, I know you guys have better things to do.
3 questions and this thread is done... thanks for the help...
1. Does the market work on simply honey? Like can go in and search and download it like usual?
2. should I use odin to install 5.1 or cw?
3. how does the kb5 work? is that like default or do i have to flash it?
Thanks a million in advance!
Hello,
I would appreciate any input.
My Vibrant has a custom ROM (Trigger v2.8.2) and I would like to move to ICS.
It seems that the safest way to do so would be by going back to stock 2.1 as stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Then, I would have to follow these steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do6mTvgfH8Y
Could anyone please confirm whether:
1. This is the safest way to move to ICS ? I read about risks related to installing Gingerbread Bootloader and would prefer not taking any.
2. Going back to stock 2.1 means I will lose root and will have to root again (I rooted it long time ago and no longer remember what I really should expect while flashing) ?
Thanks

I tried that before and it's safe.
-odin back to stock
-flash CM7
-flash ICS rom of your choice
But beware, it may cause some problems like the rainbow thingy other than that it's safe.
Sent from my ICZen'd Vibe!
See my guide in the General Section. It works. Read it, watch the video ( beware though that djeddieone skips some important steps. Not sure how he did it but there are several things he skips).
GB bootloaders are no longer needed to run ICS but as stated above you may get Rainbows although this seems to have been fixed several versions ago.
Good luck and ask questions if need be but please search first. The ICS guide was on the front page of General.
Thanks everyone.
Woodrube,
Do you think the latest Passion version is still risky (I mean the Rainbows) ?

GB bootloaders are very recommended. It was found that on mr_psycho's subZero kernel #17 you could not get into recovery at all with Froyo bootloaders but all was fine with GB bootloaders. So sometimes it's not just rainbows.

I agree with Bob, I do recommend having GB bl's but they are not needed on the general ICS builds (for the most part). From what I read in the Zen thread, MP streamlined his kernel and it seems that the recovery broke on Froyos b/c of what he took out but was fine on GB and he recommends most be on GB as well. So the 1 kernel out of all of them broke it for Froyos. I am wondering if MP will fix this for the masses or just keep it as GB exclusive for subZero/Zenwhich?
With that being said, I think that Passion/ Euphoria are good for the general public, while AOKP/ZEN are for more of the advanced users like us. And mostly the ROMs are ROMs. It is the kernels that are being built so fast nowdays. Bootloaders for someone not knowing what they are doing is extremely hazardous and they shouldn't be flashing them unless they know what they are doing.

So, I should not bother installing the bootloader as long as I am using stock kernel? I don't intend making up anything else, just going back to stock 2.1 then moving to ICS Passion. I would prefer not taking useless risks on a phone that I am expecting to last a few more months until I upgrade.
Thanks
Yes you are good (for now), but if you swap kernels, make sure you are reading about them first.
Kiss 2.2 seems to have the best performance with Passion

How do you get rid of these "Random offset" errors that prevent from installing the ICS ?
I did try at least ten times and I still did not succeed.

That's normal. I get it every time I flash an ICS ROM. After it throws that error, don't touch anything. It'll finish installing the ROM on it's own.

Does it install whatever the ICS version is ?
How long does it take ? Hours ?

I think you should give Zenwich a try. GPS now works, it is light and based of AOKP too. I have hardly ever encountered the security block.
I know that someone else I was helping kept getting stuck at that point and they just kept flashing it over itself. Sometimes when I get to the point where you are, I would either Odin all the way back and start over or flash CM7 again and let it boot up completely and then try Passion/ Euphoria again. Should push through.
Don't forget to format /system in the appropriate steps too. I have noticed that and not wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache after CM7 boots up causes things to get wonky b/c of ghosts from CM7 apps.

I no longer remember whether I did wipe/cache and /dalvik cache after I flashed CM7.
Do you think I should do so before retrying to flash ICS ?

Yes. I actaully forgot to do it once and it made all the difference in the boot up and stability.

Well, still no luck.
Even after wiping cache/delvic and more than one hour waiting for the "Random offset" message to disappear, I can't get past it.
No idea whether it is my device or this Passion 13.1 version.
Which version could I try without taking too many risks (Rainbows) ?
Thanks,
uh oh
i took a fresh vibrant on eclair, rooted, place cwm update.zip, rebooted into cwm recovery, flashed cm7 update kernel, than flashed ics passion 13.1 rc1 build 2. somewhere along the way the phone stopped talking to tmobile but i dont know where. now im left without a backed up efs, my fault i know, and i dont know what to do?

coming from cm7 wipe data, wipe cache partition/dalvik, format system(mouts and storage), than flash ics passion latest edt.
Eventually, I was able to flash ICS Passion.
I simply had to follow all steps mentioned on their thread and it did work OK.
Now, I wish there were secret codes compatible with ICS as I would need to make some changes within the bands.
I read somewhere that old ones would not work (unless used with Samsung firmware).
Anyone know about using secret codes with ICS Passion ?
Thanks,
I would like to install a rom on my recently purchased galaxy facinate. I need to use the bluetooth and gps a lot, so I need a rom that has both of those working very well. What is the best stable rom to use for this? I have installed roms on previous phones and have had troubles with various functions, but I'm certain someone out there must know a good and stable one that noob like me could use.
Thank you for your time.
First take a look through this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132986 as it's a recent discussion about the same thing. Anyway, I would personally recommend CM 10.1 as I've been on it for a while now and it's rock solid (I've used BT and GPS on it too).
I want to make sure I use the proper instructions/files, I have found mixing up the roms can cause me troubles in past builds. I found these instructions on the forums, are those links still accurate for the CM10.1 build or do you know of a better installation method. Im focusing mostly on ...
--------
Step 2: Download ICS Teamhacksung Build 1 or 2 to the root of your devices sd card.
--------
but if you don't mind setting my mind at ease that I should use those files and then flash CM10.1 on top of those files/steps it will save me some headaches I'm sure. Again thank you for your time.
Step 1: Download these files to your pc:
Odin- http://www.mediafire.com/?5y0vkhz85w3j4cz
Samsung Driver- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25089906/SAM...ile_Phones.exe
CWM4 fixed for cm7- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311907538
Stock EH03 rom- http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/fasc..._GB_CM.tar.md5
Atlas_v2.2 pit- http://www.mediafire.com/?r2mi80911vgjjjz
GB bootloaders- http://goo.gl/6aJ1N (this needs to be extracted with a program such as 7zip)
Step 2: Download ICS Teamhacksung Build 1 or 2 to the root of your devices sd card.
THS Build 1- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69414229/fa...eng.BUILD1.zip
It looks like you pulled that from droidstyle's guide, which is exactly where you needed to go and everything is accurate.
About the THS flash... well, different people here seem to have different experiences. On my device I don't flash THS before installing anything, I go directly from flashing CWM4 to flashing whatever I want to and have no issues, but there have been people on here who get errors that way. If it makes you feel better to flash THS before CM 10.1 then go for it, it won't hurt anything, it'll just take longer.
This whole process is not something you should have to do again unless you really mess something up, once you're on CM 10.1 you only need to reboot into recovery, wipe data/davlik/cache and flash whatever other rom you want to. There are a lot of good roms available that you might want to check out, in fact one of the more popular roms Paranoid Android just came out with a new version that looks pretty good.
This phone is hard to break, just don't get careless and you'll be fine honestly.
do you need to install gapps in addition to the cm10.1 nightly? and to verify you installed cm10.1 directly after cm7 skipping gbbootloader and teamhack installs?
I also found these set of instructions that seem easier, would this be the better way to go?

Yes, you do flash gapps after installing cm10. You do it immediately after flashing the ROM in recovery, no need to reboot first (better not to, in fact).
Process-wise, I've never reached for Heimdall, always used Odin, but the cm wiki article looks like a more tedious process to me...
Once you've got the USB drivers + Odin installed, and the various flashable files handy, we're only talking a few steps to go from stock to cm10.1.
Do note that after you've got JT's clockwork recovery installed, the cm instructions say to flash your cm ROM directly without flashing the older THS ROM first .

ComROM and Superclean are both based on official stock Verizon ROMs. They basically either gut out or modify TouchWiz. I'm not too sure about the Froyo builds of these, but if you're looking at the EH03 builds of SuperClean and TSM (previously known as Comrom) they have Touchwiz 4. As far as I understand, Community ROM (TSM) pretty much contains AOSP apps but it's based off of EB01 (VZW 2.2.1)
So from what I'm seeing, the only pure android 2.2 AOSP roms are probably going to be jt's vanilla froyo or Cyanogenmod 6?
I'm also looking for an AOSP version of gingerbread. My SD card is a class 4 and I can't flash any of the official CM7.1 or CM7.2

I remember the old days when I had my HTC HeroC that AOSP froyo and gingerbread worked very well and ran very fast on low ram devices and I wanted to give them a run on my phone. I wasn't around for the GB and froyo days for the fascinate. When I obtained my phone everyone was using JB roms. I just want to run it on my phone for a little bit. I can't find any omfgb roms with any good links. As I said before CM6 and CM7 either will not install or will give me corrupted sd card errors because I have a class 4 card.

Well EH03 is Verizon's stock firmware (2.3.5) for the fassy. I think you guys have either EI20 or EH09, and one of those two is 2.3.6. lucky bastards, you get a .1 version newer than ours lol
I pulled my old Vibrant out of a box and thought I'd try to run a newer version on android on it, but I haven't been about to make heads or tails of the development forum. After 3+ hours of fiddling and 3 or 4 programs downloaded, I'm at a loss. The phone currently has Bali kernel and Bionix-V FishmanMod which I loaded on it in 2011 or 2012 and have no recollection of what I did. :silly:
I think my questions are:
Do I need to revert to stock? Because odin refuses to recognize my phone in download mode. It sees it fine when it is booted normally.
Otherwise, what do I need to do to update the kernel and put kit kat on the phone?
If there's anybody out there, thanks and I tried really really hard and I'm just really confused.
I think it would be best for you to go back to stock first.
1. Make sure that your drivers are properly installed
2. Try different usb ports, reboot computer/phone, different usb cable if Odin won't recognise the phone.
Honestly, going back to stock won't help much. Install a JB rom and or kernel and from there install a kitkat kernel then rom. In that order. Make sure you wipe data and cache completely to make sure there isn't any problems.

Great timing with this thread. I borked the screen repair on my S4 and need to use my Vibrant again for a while.
ICS Kiss 3.1.10 needs an update.

I was thinking about updating CM7 or CM9. Building with latest sources. I personally had many speed issues with ICZenwich. Is that non-existant on ICS Kiss?
What do you guys think? Should I upload the latest builds of these ancient android versions?

ICS Kiss does have speed issues. I very much want to update but don't want to go through the plug and chug of finding one I like. If someone can recommend a stable, vanilla, something or other, I'd appreciate it.
I found what I'm looking for. Yea, CM should fit the bill nicely.

Installing ice cream sandwich will cause the internal sd card to be wiped
I don't think anyone is on cm9 because of that...
