ROM with no phone - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking at upgrading to a newer phone next month and I was wondering if there was a ROM out there that didn't have the phone portion set in. I want my phone to be like a iPod so my kids can play with it.

I'm currently running miui and I have titanium backup, if I were to do this would it work or would it FC all the time?

I think if you were to freeze phone specific things it couldn't harm anything, but I recommend you go to froyo then do it, for the sake of battery or you could just put it in airplane mode then hide the phone related apps I'm sure that would disable 911 too

I have what you need, let me remove the phone short cut from the launcher and I can get you into a rom set up as nothing but a media player.
Should have around 50 megs footprint.
Let me know if interested.
Edit: I'll put it together and post it for everyone, tonight hopefully.

Vibrant randomly reboots...HELP!!!!

Can someone please help me. My Vibrant just randomly restarts or freezes mostly w/calls. I didn't have these issues until I received T-Mobile's OTA the other day. I came here and seen others complaining about the exact same thing. I then began to read the instructions, on how to get into Download mode and flash J16 through ODIN. I thought I was all good until my phone would start to reboot w/incoming and outgoing calls and randomly freeze on me. I thought it was an issue with that specific ROM so I flashed JC OC/UV ROM and yet the problem persist. Does anybody have an idea as to what the problem is? Oh, by the way I am ROOTED.

Had similar issues, used rom manager to boot into recovery menu, fixed permissions from there, then cleared dalvik cache and that fixed my problem.
Sorry! Didn't work.

Do you have any gameloft games or adobe reader?
My phone freezes like that whenever I've used a different kernel with Voodoo. But it sounds like you have the problem with or without a different kernel.

Yes I have Asphalt, and Avatar. I also have Adobe Readerâ„¢. Is that what's causing it? If so; what about those apps and games cause my phone to randomly reboot and freeze?

I'm also overclocking. However this was happening before I started overclocking as well.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Make sure your min setting in setcpu is 200 and set the Max to 1 ghz. Apparently some phones cannot handle OC'ing, mine being one of them. I personally prefer the stock kernel because I have only had problems with other kernels with or without Voodoo.
As for adobe reader, if you search you will find several posts regarding an issue whereby the app causes our phones to randomly reboot. Same with some gameloft games. I for a fact know hero of Sparta is no good in this regard.
Good luck

Yeah seriously...you should only hear this when your files are converted to ext4....need details

maybe he is talking about the sound emitted when you plug in your USB even if the phone is muted.
This has been removed in the CM7
community rom 1.3...high energized theme.
its not the voodoo voice, its a new voice i have been hearing a week or so
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
It was a left over from GrainOsands High Voltage personal theme that many people said they enjoyed. You'll have to ask what the specific files are so you can remove them...probably something in /system/media. Opening the drop down notification will interupt the sound from playing in the meantime.
Have you shutdown your phone yet? The shutdown sound is pretty funny.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yea it is..catches me off guard sometimes
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I don't know if straight up deleting the file will cause force closes so try copying 'Charger_Connection.ogg' from /system/media/audio/ui in an unthemed ComRom .zip and pasting it in the same directory on your phone. If it asks you to overwrite the file say yes.
I know that just deleting the shutdown.ogg will get rid of the shutdown sound without causing issues.
Hopefully it works for you.

Just go into audio manager (should come with the theme) and set system volume to zero

[Q] eclipse 1.3/stock keyboard on cm7??

Anyone happen to have the apk for the stock keyboard? I would like to have it on my cm7 rom. Is this even possible since its the blur keyboard? Maybe I'm just SOL? Anyone have any input on this? I hate the keyboard that comes with cm7. I'm using swift key now but I really likes the stock keyboard.

I've wondered that myself. I imagine it should work. Make a nandroid, push it into system apps, fix permissions, reboot and see what happens. You may have to change your input method.

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

Ist hopefully you made a backup prior to changing your settings, if so just restore your backup and you'll be fine. Also whatever you used to change it with will sometimes backup your original setting and you can use the same process to revert.

Yep I think that's what I'll do... I'm looking for a change.... Any suggestions for a new rom...It has to work for twrp

Cleanrom ACE if you like touchwiz fast and smooth but if you have no taste for that and want to go pure aosp then I wouldn't have a good suggestion as I like all the extras I got the phone for, but that's just my opinion. There are other great roms out there and im sure someone will give you more options, good luck.
