[PRJ] CM6 system 8/27/2010 ALPHA - Vibrant Android Development

Here is the CM6 system built last night by me. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it. This is for those having issues building. Here it is
www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/froyo.tgz
This is not a ready to flash ROM but just the system folder from the CM6 build for people to play with.
This is for devs looking to play with CM6 which was compiled for the vibrant and not just a generic build. This is NOT A READY TO FLASH ROM. I just built went to sleep and threw this up for people.
Enjoy!

can we flash this through odin? pda?

The CyanogenMod Wiki Full Update Guide for the Samsung Vibrant
The CyanogenMod wiki has the instructions for the Full CM6 update. I am unable to post the link since I am a new member! I haven't flashed the ROM since I just got my phone last night.

Where was that indicated? There are only two how-tos on the Wiki for CM6 of relevance for Galaxy S/Vibrant: building the CM6 kernel from source, and updating the Galaxy S/Vibrant to CM6. However, the "Full Update Guide" includes the following caveat: NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Vibrant.
There are no full instructions on the wiki for building CM6, nor for truly updating a Vibrant since CM6 has not been built for the Vibrant. You will also not find even an alpha release, nor any nightlies.
For those who don't understand why this is the case, or why flashing a ROM through Odin is different than through the recovery console, it's probably best to wait until there is a "one-click" for you ...

so many people are going to download this without realizing that this is for development only and not even for use yet

I semi understand that stuff but know my limits... But a huge THANKS!!! to those who do!!!
Patiently waiting for "one-click"....

Sorry if you took that as a genuine offer of advice, but it was meant as a sarcastic retort. People who don't understand what is technically involved in "rooting", what it means to "mount" a device or where the line between Linux and Android lays really have no basis in asking for aid when things go awry. (Sorry if I offend you, but seriously, you're asking for help in a development thread without knowing about which what you're actually asking for help? Really? Seriously?!)
No one has created a reliable method to fully supplant the Vibrant's recovery console, the OTA package that is normally used to flashed Android devices cannot be properly compiled and packaged for the Vibrant, users are still having issues building an AOSP directory structure—let alone a truly usable boot.img—and a complete system replacement is expected?! It really is no wonder why those really building apps and systems for various Android platforms avoid XDA, and leave it to those merely "cooking" as was previously the standard with WinMo.
(When is the interrobang going to be finally accepted as a true form of punctuation?! Really?!)

nice work, seems like a lot of devs are finally on this

People don't stay away from XDA because of the sometimes foolish questions people ask. They stay away because of the way they get treated by pompous d*cks like you that have no tolerance for people trying to learn and enjoy their devices more.
Everyone starts out without a clue and without help from others we'd all still be drooling on ourselves and sh*tting in our diapers.
Grow up and help out... or just go away.

Phone Freezes Randomly (Magic 32B)

Well i´ve got a problem.
I´ve got a Magic 32B (i think its better in the G1´s forum) and it freezes randomly, since i´ve rooted it.
I´ve tried several roms, but the problem is still there.
I´ve tried some sd cards, but it still freezes.
I´ve updated the Radio and the spl (Radio : 2_22_19_26I & Death SPL)
well. i dont know what to do now. it freezes, the display´s still on, but its.. frozen. then half a minute later, it reboots. but its not a kernel panic. it reboots completely.
please help
There's only one thing to do in a situation like this.......
.........get a Dream (G1)!
thank you -. - i really dont need answers like this one.
Also, this is in the WRONG section, this isn't DEVELOPMENT its a Q and A so put it in the QandA section
reformat your sd card(fat32) re partition it , the wipe EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON YOUR PHONE, and flash a STABLE ROM. LIKE SUPERD OR CYANOGENS ROM.

I'm not sure where your problems can stem from.
That being said, I try some of the suggestions stated above, ie.,
1. Complete wipe
2. Repartiton SDcard
3. Maybe even invest in a new battery (you never know)
4. Those are the things I would've tried. Those same things can pretty much eliminate most problems.
5. If all else fails.........get a Dream (G1)

Seriously, I know I haven't been much help, but the suggestions I put forth is what I'd do.

Junior member wannabe fail?
Anyway, the main thing is is that if your phone is relying on your SD card like for Apps2SD you could run into some problems with a badly formatted card. Would you be able to post a logcat of one of these crashes? It would help a lot in trying to find and identify the problem and then fix it.

Flash Samsung firmware without Odin?

Sorry if this has already been answered.. I would like to flash some custom rom but in order to do so I have to upgrade my firmware version (which is I9000XXJF3 at the moment.) I have a rooted device and I have successfully flashed ROM manager and recovery image - ClockworkMod). But I believe it is not possible to use that tool in order to flash Samsung firmware upgrade. Am I wrong?
I cannot use odin as I am not a windows user. and Odin drivers are not at all installed on my vmware fusion XP virtual machine.
Is there ANY other way to do firmware upgrade without using Odin?
any help appreciated.
And a huge thanks to all the community.
I haven't found a way. though I do have a copy of windows laying around for testing web apps which is how I ended up flashing my sgs.
It'd be interesting if someone knows the protocol Odin and Kies use to connect with the device or at least maybe generate a common effort to reverse it so we can build drivers and a flash utility for other platforms
as far as i know, this it is not possible at the moment. i am no windows user myself but i managed to get odin running with a windozeXP running on a virtualbox under a ubuntu 10.04 guest os.
yeah, it's a pain in the ass but as soon as standalone custom roms appear we won't need odin any more. flashing out of the recovery makes much more sense!

you could try to sniff the traffic on the usb port to reverse-engineer the protocol, but i guess it's not worth the effort because of the reason i stated above...

That it does, but that never stopped fastboot from being your best friend if anything went wrong. It's a pity Odin isn't as simple as fastboot, or that the SGS isn't fastboot-compatible. Sigh.

Search the forum here, there's a guy posting an ALPHA of some cross platform thing to replace Odin in just the last day or two. Last I read (yesterday or the day before) it was still windows only for testing, but he may have an OS X version out sooner than later.
It's called Heimlich or something along those lines...one of the Norse gods as he explains it.

I actually made the first alpha release a while ago and have posted several updates since then. Anyway I'm releasing alpha 6 now (still Windows only). Once I can get some testers to test the Windows alpha 6 I will be making a official beta release for all platforms and I'll be releasing the source code.

I new to flashing roms to the Vibrant, but WTF is odin, the only I can think of right of bat is a norse god or something like that.

But definitely READ this section..... all the good mods, kernels and reviews are in here.
techmik67 speaks the truth... I got my first Android phone (THIS ONE) on July 18th and started lurking these forums less than a week later.
Right now I'm installing VMWare and installing Linux as a virtual machine so that I can deox ROMs, all-the-while combing over the Captivate source code in hopes that I might find some clue as to why our kernel is locked to the AT&T modem files. I'm not even kidding =P

I am assuming you are talking about a stock Captivate. If you haven't done anything to it, I believe you would see this in SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE
Baseband version: I897UCJF6
Kernel: I can't remember
Build number: Eclair
The 1st thing I did next was a 1 click root.
Next, and this is a personal choice, download and install from the thread SREv1.2.1a. If you read that 150+ page thread (most importantly, the OP) it will tell you that it includes some important things, like sideloading enabled and others.
Then see if you want a lagfix
At that point, your settings should now read:
Baseband version: I897UCJF6
Kernel: Same I think
Build number: SREv1.2.1a
I would install ROM MANAGER and QUICKBOOT from the market asap. Then consider upgrading firmware (baseband version) from UCJF6 to UCJH2 or JH3. Read the threads. And check my signature to see my setup, which I like alot.

How did you side load? did you actually "install" it, or did you "push" it to your phone? If it is installed, it will be in your app drawer. If you pushed it, you'll need to use the my files program to find the app, and just open it and hit install.
I would suggest reading the SRE thread, because that is probably one of the best way to really get your phone faster.
You can also check out the Unleash the Beast thread. Then check out any lag fix by Tayutama (that is what I use, and I'm not sure on the spelling) because that will make your phone quicker!

i have tried the i9000 rom, which was awesome, but i got tired of that little video call button mocking me so i switched back to stock UCJF6 and did the SRE1.21a.
how would i go about upgrading my firmware without reflashing everything and losing what i have already done? i have read the threads regarding the JH3 rom, but didnt see anything about how to do it without losing my current setup

If I am not mistaken, this is what Titanium Backup is good for.
Rom Manager will help you restore like system restore in windows to EXACTLY as you are, apps, data and all, when you create the backup (which you should ALWAYS do before trying to flash a new firmware or update). Do that now.
Then, get Titanium. Under backup and restore, backup all your apps and app data (will show up white text). Also backup SOME of the stuff in green and red. You can see what to back up. when in doubt, back it up and think twice before restoring it.
If at any time you brick or have problems, boot into recovery, choose reinstall packages which will run update.zip created by rom manager so you can access the clockwork restore menu. Then restore to your backup you made and start over.
Lastly, check out QUICKBOOT in the market. EZ reboot into recovery mode.
oh. i already use those and know how to do backups and recovery. i recovered all my stuff from my i9000 jump to jf6+sre .. guess i will go through the process again.

The $4 for Titanium donate version is well worth it. I did a restore on free, and it took 45 mins of installing apps and pushing buttons. took less than 10 with the donate version with no interaction.
Well I will re-iterate what others have already said. Read.
But here is what I did:
Flash JH3 via Odin
Root via Bugless Pete's Unleash the Beast v0.2
download Terminal Emulator from the market
Type: su
Type: sideloading
By now you are rooted and sideloading is activated and a bunch of bloat ware is gone.
Now install a lag fix (search for Zilch's condensed version of lag fixes)
You can choose between RyanZA's APK in the market or his script or tayatumas update.zip. I also reccomend Chainfires lag fix in the i9000 forums.
Now everything is done: JH3 - Root- Sideloading- lagfix.
Now patiently wait for Supercurios lagfix port for the captivate.
And find a mentor you can secretely stalk and try what they try. There are some people out there who really know what they are doing. Here is aquick list.
Chainfire
Zilch
RyanZA
Tayatuma
Unhelpful
Supercurio
And many more.

[Q] dump rom from phone

Hi All,
Please would someone be so kind and explain how to make a rom from a phone using anything would be good, but preferably flashable via odin
What i am asking is how to dump an I9000 rom so that I can flash it via Odin on a I900 once again, not porting just a basic dump.
i'm interrested too
Really dude? Read stickies, search, read up a ton before posting stupidly pointless threads like this. Sorry, but this is a busy forum and people like you asking baseless questions aren't a part of it.
In case you didn't know, porting ROMs from devices is extremely hard. There is progress going on porting HTC Sense from the Desire HD but it's extremely time consuming and difficult even for very experienced devs.

Which am I, the one asking the baseless questions or the one telling others not to? =P
Dumping a ROM is definitely different than porting from another device, but the way your question stated you wanted to take a dump from another phone (Desire for example) and then magically stick that in Odin and make it work or something. Sorry for misunderstanding.
I take it you want to dump your current ROM and then publish for others to use, like Nandroid backup style? I guess that might be interesting although I'll personally stick to cooked ROMs like Docs that are ready to flash with all optimizations and changes applied at the get-go.

Which am I, the one asking the baseless questions or the one telling others not to? =P
Dumping a ROM is definitely different than porting from another device, but the way your question stated you wanted to take a dump from another phone (Desire for example) and then magically stick that in Odin and make it work or something. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life. Cryptic as it may be, but I guess the OP is interested in trying to make a backup.
I know samfirmware has most of the firmwares, but it would be nice to know how to create a flashable rom.
Some of us really would like to know how to do this. Samfirmwares does not have all the roms. They do not have the ntt docomo rom for japan on their site. The phone was just released the 28 October with the official 2.2 froyo rom on it. I would like to walk in the store dump the rom from their demo phone to sd card. Put the rom on my phone. I really want get my sp mode working. I have rom mananger. Does rom manager do rom dumps with the back rom option.
I agree this seems like a good idea, my bad for not understanding the Cyrptic OP lol
I don't think we get nandroid backups right now. I don't think anyone has taken a dump from a running SGS and turned it into a flashable ROM. I just know that Doc, Tatyuma and others have taken Samsung's packages and cooked them into their nice flashable zips.

Post updated, hopefully it makes more scene now

[Q] Messed up flash what do I do next

I have a friends LG 2X and it was originally on froyo then i officially upgraded to gingerbread then unofficially uses smart flash to flash the ICS KDZ file and now I can't flash anythink including every version of clockworkMOD! please advise me on what to do! I'm going to try repartitioning with the "NEW" partition table.
more info: its randomly factory resting and rebooting, being really slow and sluggish and generally useless

I can give you a big list to try.....almost 95% of them are stable.....but you have to try it yourself and find out. 2013 is one of the best years for O2X for having a variety of ROMs....CM based, Stock based, PAC, and so on
nothing is wrong....be proud of this device which is almost unbrickable......so recover it and start enjoying it.

my friend,
you opened a new thread for this.....think you should close it....PMs are meant for such quesries if you really need help and not starting making new threads which are contrary to the rules of this great forum....
hope you understand this and ask a MOD for closing this.
