So everyone knows about the leaked froyo rom for the vibrant, and I'm sure it's a just a matter of time now until one of the great devs ports it to the vibrant, but I was wondering if it was possible to flash the captivate rom to a vibrant without bricking? I know it would change the baseband and radio so I suppose the answer is yes, thanks for any help in advance.

I would not tempt fate--let one of our esteemed devs do their magic...seems like trying to run a Honda Accord powerplant in a Honda CRV. There is a reason there are different programs/roms/etc. for different phones.
I triple dog dare ya!!!
no i dare you, lol.

If you don't see now and then apps or mods floating around with people conveting one thing to another what makes you think its going to work right out of the box? Even if it doesn't brick your phone its not going to work 100% anyways.
I would't do it.
I'm aware that there are TONS of Gingerbread roms. But the thing that has been keeping me back from flashing is that GPS is broken. Does anyone know of any ROM that has working GPS in GB??
If there was a working GPS for TB,all but the CM7 builds would have GPS in the list of working features.
Short answer, no.

Without working GPS drivers for GB, this will never happen. Eugene claims to have done it, but he's disassociated himself with XDA. Personally I've never seen any proof of that claim.

Dang guys.. I really want GB haha
I hear you, if the GPS isn't working, never mind. Is there any other roms that are really nice for the SGH-T959?
I like the rotation of the icons on the G2, I would like to add that feature to my SGH-T959.
I am also waiting for GPS working on Gingerbread. However, I might try CM7 this week. If map is working, it still can take me to the destination.

I got impatient and installed CM7. It's very nice. I think I'll have to do without maps.

You didn't have to point it out AGAIN that I was wrong, especially when someone posted the actual reply link showing where he said he got it working.
If you're going to tell someone that someone else said a specific thing, don't just tell them, show them. Because telling them doesn't do anything.

Doesn't it work in cm7? CM7 issues doesn't have GPS listed in it.

No doesn't work in CM7 either
Until we have a gingerbread leak or an ota for the vibrant, GPS will not work. It doesn't work on any 2.3 rom that runs on the vibrant.

I have a same question, I could not find out the stock rom in Vibrant Bible, the build name is T959UVKB5, anyone help me!
Yeah stay away from Kies, hard bricked me, had to riff box recover.
I was looking for stock 2.2 recently too, hard to find most links didn't work.
Is there any specific reason you need stock? Most 2.2 roms now are plenty stable.

I just came from trigger cm7 14. Didnt like the battery drain and missed my GPS and wifi calling.
I LOVE the blazers! I live in Vanc and work in Portland. You think Oden will do well? Either way im glad rudy is gone
Yeah im gonna wait until stable cm7 comes out before I try it again
Yeah barring a long lockout, next season very dependent on oden. If he plays decent I see blazers doing very well

Thanks for this brother. I will give it a shot right now because I'm a loser and I have nothing else better to do.
I've been running this for two days with Entropy's work on the kernel and the phone.apk
Calling works, just a little muffled sometimes.
I'm downloading right now, although I'm sure it's the same exact thing I've already done w/ the modem n kernel together.
Amazing work!

VERY NICE!!! I hated tw ics. It hurt playing around with it. So glad you took the time to port it. I'll keep it for a day or two, oh i see my screen just came on. LOL ! besides that it seems pretty solid.
This works fabulously! My only question is how do I get all my apps and settings back if I used titanium. It says I'm not rooted

Yes! Progress!
Calling works and I confirm as others have reported- it is a little muffled (outgoing voice). Also, I cannot seem to adjust the volume down while using speakerphone. It seems to be on max.
Thank you Fenny!

MongooseHelix said:
I haven't had much time recently and heading out to meet some friends shortly but wanted to give people something to think about. I was considering how I could swing getting an Eris over to riemer in the Netherlands so he could work on the kernel with it in hand. Either finding someone here with an "extra" that they are willing to sell or from somewhere like eBay. I know it would help him a lot to actually have one if he does help us out and he's much more capable than I in terms of quick progress

FYI, There has already been positive progress and a working .35 Kernel along with ICS. I've been using his ROM as my daily for 2-3 weeks now, and using Beta 2 Test 3 (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25604607&postcount=328) since it came out and fairly happy and excited about it.
Will this kernel work on other Gingerbread ROMs? For example, CM7.2?

Don't know, but I doubt there would be any harm (disclaimer!) in making a nandroid and trying it. What it takes to do that, though, I don't know without researching. Best to ask MongooseHelix in his ROM thread, though. He may already know the answer.

It should be fine to use outside of ICS but it's not something I've tried. Also, I haven't made a flashable zip for just the kernel yet so it would take some boot.img repacking to try it out with GB.
