Did you even read the OP for the rom you installed? Either it was Eugene373's Macnut, Team Whiskey's Obsidian, Master's Axura, or Anderdroid's Aosp'ish... Really its a moot point as they are all basically Eugene's Macnut, just with framework mods ( exception might be Obsidian, as he doesnt directly credit Eugene for any work ) Anyway, the blurry MMS is a stated shortcoming of the current batch of 2.2 roms... Search is your friend... it saves you from posting qusetions that already have anwsers.

Wow. Not at all.
Macnut was originally on JPM
My ROM went on JPA & JPO before eugene. And the 2.0 version which is still in development doesn't use ONE thing of eugenes.
And Sombionix's rom doesn't use ONE thing of eugenes either
Eugenes macnut isnt JK2 either. People like you think that we base everything on Eugene.
Did YOU even read the OP's?
And to the OP:
Yes we are all aware of it, and it is an issue we are all trying to fix.

Master I would first like to offer my apology for offending you, not my goal or intention, and as I have, you have my apologies.
In retro spect, my wording on a quickly typed reply to fly under the radar while I am work seems to have not conveyed the message I originally intended.
I did not wish to say that all roms are copies of Eugene's work, but similarly suffer from the same shortcomings, and I had a noted exception of Team Whiskeys offering as they are the sole developer which does not credit any work from eugene.
and unless I am confused, your axura rom comes with eugene's #45 kernel and in its op states that mms is blurry.
I understand that your Rom is based on JPO, Macnut is based on JPM and Team Whiskey derives their work from JK2... All of which are available for easy reading ( Ill admit, i used the search feature for that info )
And to answer your retort, Yes, I do read the OP. I use the search feature before Posting a question to make sure there hasnt been a similar question or an answer to it, and even when getting my facts straight. Thank you for your time and giving me a chance and reason to better explain my reply to the OP of this post.
I invite you to continue any further discusion about my errors in DM, rather than airing any problems or errors as if they were dirty laundry.

I read and I read well, but its a simple question to read if there is a fix for it.
I am running JK2 as i stated above, its the UNOFFICIAL 2.2

Save you even more trouble, The answer is no.
My method for arriving at this conclusion, Navigate to the relevant thread, search the realevant thread with the keywords blurry mms fix, read the postings listed ( all 17 of them ) and derive the answer, no, there is no fix yet.

As there are other ways of getting around this, Like replacing the apk's with cyanogen's.
Both of which fix the blurry MMS.

Can you take a pic of the blurry MMS? I am running the same ROM and have yet to see anything blurry about mms. Im really curious what the fuss is.

[Q] what's the deal with flash?

I don't normally ask questions unless I really have to, I'm pretty good and looking up the answers myself, but I can't seem to find this one. (maybe because searching for "flash" in a forum about "flashing" roms every other post isn't exactly limited selections )
so anyway, flash. as in Adobe. What's wrong with it for the eris on froyo builds? like, what is holding the devs back on getting it working
(note: this is not a "devs r teh stooped" post, I'm not trying to insult the devs in any way. I have huge respect for them, and I know they are working hard to overcome the problem, I just want to know what that problem is just out of curiosity)
it's so hard to ask a damn question on here in fear of just getting pages of "have you heard of google?" and "if you dont like the devs, you do it!" posts...
Have you heard of Google... Lmao jk! That's a great question! I believe that flash 10.1 only works on 2.1 sense ROMS.. not perfectly may I add. The reason its not up in running on Eris froyo builds (and pls anyone correct me if im wrong) is cause their using modded 2.1 kernals, thus only replicating froyo, so there's a lot of kinks still. I Kay be wrong tho, so don't quote lol
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I think Flash is only available to phones with a 1Hz SnapDragon proccessor and Froyo, but someone hacked up a version to work for us (its somewhere in the Eris Android Development section) but I heard it was slow, most likely due to our processors though.
Edit: forgot to mention that it is on available to Sense based roms because it somehow works in conjuction or replaces? our HTC Flash lite which is already included in said roms

Yup, in works in conjunction with flash light. I take back what I said about it not working well tho, cause yesterday I watched a full episode of family guy on a tv website with a tube style video player, and it worked rather well being oc'ed to 710mhz
Sent from my Eris Lightning 3.02
It's not that the Eris is too weak at all it's just that we've only JUST gotten froyo. The reason we could get flash working at all on our 2.1 roms is because HTC did half the work for us with the lite flash built in.

Which dev(s) (if any) are working on porting the leaked captivate froyo rom?

Hey guys, while I understand that questions don't normally go here, I figured this one was ok because it hasn't really been asked before and it seems like a pretty important question. I was wondering which devs were porting the captivate froyo rom to the vibrant? Unfortuanantly, I can't code, but I'm certainly willing to donate and beta test if someone is up to the job. Fyi, I know this is already posted in q&a , I'll request its deletion.
-thanks, bobofosho123
Eugene373 is working on it. But apparently it suffers the same issues as the i9000 leaks.

I've used it, but the wifi doesn't work, there still isn't a "bug-free" enough version of froyo for the vibrant to justify me flashing it, which I've done in the past only to revert to some other 2.1 rom, all i really want is flash though...I don't care about froyo too much beyond that.
Eugene_373 tweeted he had it running on his and he would have an upload soon.
*Shrug* past that.
All I know is that I'm running Froyo_R3 on my Vibrant, and have yet to really run into any problems besides the fact that randomly the messaging app will open something else random. That got fixed with ChompSMS

Yes but the leaked builds have working gps.....
I thought wifi was still broken on Eugene's latest froyo rom, correct? Last time I flashed the froyo_r3 rom it caused my phone to spazz out and keep cycling through off and the lock screen. Has that been fixed?
GPS is going to be Broken until we get a Leak, it's not like we have source!
Linpack? Quadrant? Sad if you Depend on those score's to consider it Fast
Regarding R3, Key mapping issue & GPS is Broke, that's about it.
Regarding the ATT build, I have it running fine, but why Post it when it has the same issue's as the I9000 but worst! The key mapping could be fixed on the ATT but the ATT kernel has Sounds issue that can't be fixed as it's kernel related..

sorry about posting in the wrong section krook, and thnx for the heads-up, appreciate it man.
Yeah, until we get an official kernel source for the vibrant, porting the captivate 2.2 will still be buggy.

[Q] cani put adrynalyne rom on top of SC 2.9.2?

I Odin'd the radio from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029436
*TY GPS rocks now
I was wondering if I could install the rom from that same thread over the top of SC 2.9.2?
Also is there a kernal that supports SetCPU specifically a LV version.
I'm coming from the D1 where things were much different, so please ignore my ignorance
Follow the instructions in that thread for installing the ROM. They are very clear and specific
I read them, lol was hoping to avoid them. As some roms can be applied over the top of one another. Thank you though

You can always try it ... just make a nandroid backup first, and let us know what happens. I doubt it would brick your phone, but you could be in force-close city.

Well those procedures were developed after hours of testing before Adrynalyne posted the ROM and radio. So if you want to discount all the hard work of the testers, go ahead and just flash the ROM.
I did it and it worked great. not saying that you should do it too, but I got lucky.
I also reflashed the radio after that.

Thank you very much! Just got it running, so far no issues or force closes. I have been waiting on a 1.1 bl honeycomb. Thank you!
Wow! Great news, definitely gonna give this a try, had lots of issues the last time I used a 1.2 based bootloader,so I'm really glad to see this!
Thanks!

I'm actually surprised that it took this long.
We used the 1.2 bl initially because we had to as we ported directly from the Adam devs. But once there were Clem kernel ports, it wasn't technically a requirement anymore. I just never changed my port as my opinions on 1.2 are already well-stated and sticking with it made sense to me, at least. But that doesn't mean that a 1.1 based HC ROM was impossible.
However, if NI releases a HC port and it's using a .36 kernel to make everything work, this 1.1 ROM might have issues with porting that. But this is all speculation, at this point - I don't know if a NI port will even work on a GTAB yet, regardless of the bootloader used.
does this has the same bl 1.2 version issues or just the usb to pc?!
bl 1.2 version has these issues:
(copied from other forum)
- Camera isn't working (pulled out the app for now)
- Browser is working, but OpenGL is disabled for it to work. That means no Flash on the stock browser.
- (High-def) video playback does not work, yet.
any testers can confirm this? i'm a bit feeling lazy to try it today
confirmed but very smooth i love it its not reading my sdcard though how can i get it to read sd card?

One other thing, on a good note -- I'm definitely happy to see more modders our there for the GTablet. Options are always a good thing and I plan to pull back a bit, starting new month. So the more HC ports we have, the better!
Quick question... If I'm running Vegan 5.1.1, what do I need to do to install this ROM? Full wipe? Just flash it from CWM? Something else entirely?
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob at all of this, but I promise I'm trying to learn!
roebeet said:
I was really hesitant to post anything, as I really don't want you taking this the wrong way. I apologize if it came off as anything else but a concern for post-support, that was not my intent (and, in retrospect, a PM would have been better. My bad).
The branding, for me, is mostly about post-support. Remember, I'm a sysadmin by trade so when I get PM's on issues, I usually ask the usual questions like what mod, what version, how did you install it, etc. That's actually why I started branding "TNT Lite" as such back in November, as it was easier for me to know if a user was actually using my ROM or not. That's really my only concern, here. When two different mods are branded the same, it will get confusing. Especially if they are on two different development branches. It is fun, I agree - that's why I do this. But for users who soft-brick, it's sometimes a major panic attack and a lot of them are hesitant to use nvflash.

Robeet, I think you were spot on, the OP is not reading it correctly. I can just see the flood of posts/PM's asking you questions and users cross posting between 1.1/1.2 because of this and the difficulty of tracking all this. it's difficult enough keeping up with all these great roms and boot loader types, I could not imagine what it is like on your guys side.
OP he is not dissing you, he is just asking that you rename it so you can support issues and he does not have to keep getting cross questions, it's pretty much non-issue in my eyes.
OP, thanks for supporting the Gtab and the 1.1. people like all you devs that make android so much fun and android FTW over IOS.

Yes, full wipe and flash it. do a backup of course just incase you want to go back. back up your apps as well so you can restore them on the other side of HC.

Maybe this should be called something like "Bottle of Smoke MOD" since technically it is a modified version of the original.

What about us casual users?

What advanced knowledge of this platform, I find digging thru this forum an impossibility. I have a Samsung Vibrant with stock FroYo 2.2 and am suffering terrible lag. It's beyond me why this is allowed to continue by the vendor.
So if I want a new ROM and/or Kernel to fix the major lag problem, I'm left wondering which is the best.
Well you kinda have to decide which type of rom that you'd want to try to use. If you want the stock rom I recommend installing the Bali kernel...it's fixed a lot of issues and gives great speed and battery life which is what I'm using.
Hopefully, you have rooted your phone before doing anything.
Bali Kernel Rocks for Froyo.
You can even try CM7 or MIUI Gingerbread ROMs.
We stopped relying on Samsung ages ago for providing any further updates.
If you want the best experience from your phone, you're going to have to take risks. But its nothing since this phone is technically "brickproof". Try installing a ROM besides Froyo, like GB or maybe a ROM that's Froyo but with different themes and tweaks, I just can't use stock 2.2 anymore lol.
Stupid Samsung and TMobile don't give a rat's a$$ about our phones or the Lag, and once they announced there will be no GB release, many devs have disappeared (though there are some new ones who inherited phones showing up now too )
For your first custom ROM...I wouldn't go with GB - it's not for beginners.
For 2.2 without the lag and some extra tweaks, try Project V - but there are lots of great ROMs out there that will help you ditch the Lag + a whole lot more. I know people who are still running Nero and Axura without problems - so you can probably just find a rom - look at the release date, and start reading the forum posts after that date. There's plenty in the noob stickies about how to root, most ROMs still provide install instructions.
Though - there are things like update of the Market, etc. - that you will need to allow extra time for during your "settling" periods...
i agree with the poster above, root your device and flash the bali 1.8.6 capped kernel. that'll convert your file system to ext4 and you'll be rocking. no need for the custom roms unless you're really adventurous.
While there is no need for custom roms I still think that you should try bionix 1.3.1 or project-v by edt both froyo roms to get a taste of what we in the vibrant community have and appreciate everyday
Bionix 1.3.1 has countless themes and project-v is by far imho the best 2.2 rom with the best speed and battery life and its always been what I fall back on when gb gives me problems. Also flash the trigger theme with it, it'll look better and bali kernel for battery

When did they announce there would be no more updates for the Vibrant. I don't remember hearing anything about that. I've given up hope that there will be, but I haven't heard anything officially.

For a first rom I would suggest something form sombionix. He was the best dev ever on this platform, and the roms are pretty much stupid proof, and more reliable than stock. anything from nero v3 to bionix 1.3 are all solid. You just need to take the way back machine and look as far back as 2009 to find them. Though his last rom thread keeps getting bumped as its just amazing and everyone keeps using it.

Well...since I only have it based on what I've seen/heard here, I should rephrase:
"Once whatever event, whether official or otherwise, occurred that caused some devs and other XDA members to commonly believe that there won't ever be an official GB release for the Vibrant..."
If you wanna stay on Froyo go for Trigger 3.3, it's perfection.

First off wrong place to be posting this. It belongs in the Q&A thread. Personal pref. but i would go with stable cm7 with the latest HL Glitch kernel.

take a look at the Vibrant Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991267
you will find links and all kind of good and useful information about this fantastic phone.
I flash a rom almost every other day and in my honest opinion bionix roms are the most stable and perfect daily driver roms period! Make sure you educate yourself before doing anything and also have the nescesary software to save your ass in case you F-up.
