[VIDEO] Samsung Vibrant Video How-To Thread - Vibrant General

All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.

Did you just buy a new camera or something? Well thanks i guess its time consuming...
Dont get too happy with the camera and start making pornos though.

You know, now that you've said it, I'll make a porno just for you. Thanks for the appreciation guy...
Edit: Noticed you have a text ROM review thread. It looks good...surprised that you don't understand the value of a good video review/tutorial since you your doing the same thing in text.

Awesome! Thanks a lot.for.taking the time to make.these videos!

Thanks for your informative videos. I am a visual learner so things just are much easier for me if I see someone doing step by step. I tried to PM you but that is not working right now I got an error message. I wanted to know your eBay username so I can purchase the Samsung Galaxy S USB Jig from you and get the positive feedback as a bonus. My username is the same as here.

Does unrooting reinstall the factory 2.2 settings?
What's up? I'm new to the sight, and all the wonderful things you can do with a rooted vibrant.
Can anyone tell me if you have a factory 2.2 vibrant and you root it, can you unroot it and send back to t-mobile for warranty purposes. Thanks!

Can this thread be made sticky? Wonderful work, Thanks OP!

Very saddened that I cannot read these guides any more

Get Galaxy S Updates from twitter

Not sure about you guys but I only use twitter for news/tech updates.
Since a twitter account doesn't exist for galaxy s updates I figured I would make one.
https://twitter.com/TheGalaxyS
I'll be trying to keep up to date with all the galaxy s news and post updates as often as I can.
The updates I will post will be about application tweaks, firmware updates, rom news, sim unlock etc...
Updates will include all of the galaxy s phones.
Galaxy S I9000, Vibrant, and the Captivate.
If there are updates that i've either missed or you think they're very important, just tweet back at me, or email [email protected]
Pretty sure Samsung Mobile has this covered, but the more the better
link?
I'm sure there are a lot of things that samsung can't post for legal reasons.
Are you 12? If so this is really cute. If not, this is kinda sad...

whys it sad?
because I'm using twitter?
I love being able to check twitter and see small news updates for various things, its like a more customizable RSS feed.
There wasn't one so I made one...its nice being able to see if the galaxy s has been unlocked without having to check the site daily.

I applaud you for being an ass to someone that is trying to help out the community.
Good idea OP. Samsung won't be tweeting about hacks and tweaks in their Twitter so I'm glad you will keep up with this.
OP, if you'll keep me updated on larger-scale ROM news (like CM finding its way to the Vibrant/Captivate), Galaxy S firmware updates, and the like without spamming me, I will gladly follow you and set your updates to go to my phone as well.
I find myself mainly reading this forum because I'm waiting for a custom ROM or FroYo to pop out on the Vibrant before I buy one.

thats what I'm waiting for, that and sim unlock.
And you don't have to worry about getting 'spammed' by me.
I don't care about gaining followers at all, I just figured that there are a lot of other people looking for the same things as me.
Great idea! Thanks!

Yeah, that one post was extreme.
I should have read the op closer last night, didn't see the other things mentioned.
I assume you follow cyanogen, wes, and the whole crew to get updated yourself?
I went to see Inception last night (WOW), so, my brain was not 100% here.

Yeah, I'm the one that mentioned to post it in the Stickied thread.
I'm gonna assume that the changelog where you listed this was included at another date aside from 08/06/2010.
Possibly you could use the #3 and #5 post that you posted as a changelog as extra space and list it somewhere within the OP post to link to #3 and #5 so you have a lot more room to work with rather than being limited to one post.
Well what do you know! I was just thinking the other day that this phone doesn't have any digital zoom, not that I care about a digital zoom. Still interesting to know.
^^ nice idea man. I think I will incorporate that, thanks.
And just for those who are "not in the know", this is a digital zoom only -- akin to cropping a photo only. You're not actually getting any closer.
A neat trick, nonetheless!
i discovered it myself
another trick...in the contacts menu, dragging the contact to one side would take you to the sms screen. Dragging it to the other side would make the phone call
^ holy crap, easter eggs everywhere. Posting this in the sticky, nice man.

welcome
it also works in the messaging menu pretty nifty

The Official Thunderbolt ROMs and Kernels Listing (DEAD)

Thank you very much everyone for all your support. This iteration of the listings is now dead as I'm moving onto Version 2 which will continue the evolution of the listings. I hope you all continue to help give ideas, suggestions, and what not to the new version much like you have with this one.
The new version is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930
See you all there.
Mods.... you can close this now.
Nice compilation. The only reason I am not complaining about a "repost" is because you provide much more detail than the current sticky
I think this is useful. It would also be nice to include MD5 sum of the files for those who wish to verify before flashing. This may require a lot of effort to maintain though.
*EDIT* and at this point all of the ROMs are based off of sense, but once the RIL issues are sorted out and AOSP ROMs start dropping then it would also be nice to have a line for each ROM stating if it is Sense-based or AOSP-based.

Certainly once AOSP ROMs rather if they are Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream, Honeycomb, Chocolate Cake, Sherbet, Fudgecicle, Peanut Brittle, Oreo Blizzard, Sundae, or heaven forbid... Apple Pie... then I will update the listing to reflect that.
Great post OP! The only thing I have to add is Virus ROM 3-1 version (nonsense). I believe it's the same as 3 but with all sense elements removed.

Thank you very much everyone for your kind words. I certainly plan on keep this updated as well. I might not update it right away whenever a new ROM/kernel comes out but it will be done. As far as this thread getting a sticky I'll leave that up to the mods/admins here if they want to do that or not. I'd love for it to happen but in the end (sadly) its not my call.

Very cool, I was wondering when someone would do this
How are these any different then Tesla Coil or Senseless Bamf?
Honestly, its not an exact clone of Tesla or Bamf and probably has some small variations on what generally speaking every from dev on here is working from currently which is the stock HTC rom.
Since Tesla generally speaking had stuck with a stock color scene (for which I very much thank kejar31 their is obviously going to be more then one ROM that go for that color scheme or style or what ever you want to call it.
What I don't get is why was this Dev's account banned for posting this gingerbread clone? I just watched the video he posted above and I really feel for him. The guy seems pretty helpful and didn't deserve to be treated like this.

For one, he isn't following the rules about creating a thread for a rom. No pics, no changelog, no info about the rom, just a youtube video and a link to his site. Secondly, he isn't crediting anyone, if he is using another rom as a base, he needs to give credit for it, it seems like that might be the problem here as the 2 roms are very similar.

Pics are not a requirement, especially when he has a video showing what the ROM will look like right out of the gate.. The changelog for the first release could actually just be "Initial release". If someone thought there was credit due and he wasn't giving it to them then shoot him a pm. You need to give some kind of learning curve for a person posting their first ROMs. This is a community after all, and the more the merrier.
ROM is being maintained on an external development site rather then XDA. No Links to external sites other than direct downloads. OP if you want to maintain this ROM on XDA please PM me and I will reopen the thread. Locking thread.
Reopened thread, please follow XDA rules otherwise the thread will once again be locked. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hope thats okay please let me know otherwise..
Fryetech, I'm looking for something new to flash today just to feed the addiction so I will keep you posted on what I find compared to the Tesla I have been running. Thank you for putting this together!
Hey man about to flash your rom and really excited to do so
Thanks for your work and just one quick question is this based off the latest leak?

One of the things I like is not having the percentage but I will tell you that the gingerbread clone is blazing fast and has amazing battery life!
So is there am update to the gingerbread clone ad well or just the others? Also would you consider adding the power control mod? Great job man!
ROM is great, but is there a way to improve the scrolling like the other ROMs that out there??

[ROM][ICS] i9100 Android 4.0 port (For real!..)The General chat and Q&A section

Hi guys
As i said in the post in the thread in android development i thought i create this thread so all you guys can leave any messages you want to the devs who are trying to port ICS for us on our beloved S2...I am only doing this to help them out so that thread does not get to cluttered with thank you messages and people asking how long its going to take for it to port or saying stuff like it will nice to have it the weekend and stuff..
Leave all your messages good, bad(not rude though)or just pointless ones in here and leave that one for dev talk...So that way they can speed things up and then we will all enjoy a bit of ICS if we do it this way....
Ive got nothing to gain by doing this all i want is just like everyone else the ICS on our handset...But this way by opening this thread at least we can have our chats here than on the dev one..anyway happy chatting and leave what you want on here for the guys...
Enjoy
If you want to follow the progress of the porting over just click on this link to see the thread....But DO NOT and i mean DO NOT leave pointless messages there only ones that you think might help the team speed things up with getting ICS to us.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327600
EDIT:Looks like the guys have got stuck and they need the source to be able to carry on their work. I am no dev but if there is anyone who has been following my thread or the one linked to my post here please guys lend them a hand as they have been doing great strides to port it over....Much would be appreciated if anyone has more info to bring to the table and help the guys get back on track again..Many thanks
EDIT2:i have now put a link in my sig for people to read and to see if they know anything useful that they can come here and leave something useful for the devs that might help them get back on track with the project again...So if any of you know someone or you are that someone please follow the link above to the project and hopefully one of our devs can see the info..Or post it here and i try and pass over the messages...I am only doing this as i want to see the ICS as much as anyone on our handsets..so the more we can get involved the better
So just to be clear..If you have anything useful or helpful to say or give to our devs, either go to the above link and post your info or leave it here and i will try and either get them here to read it or i will PM them myself for you...Either way lets keep the project alive as we do not for sure when we will see ICS on the S2..thank you
EDIT3: Looks like the project is now dead since our devs have got stuck and need source now to carry on the work..Either way thanks to the guys for trying..
i will be the first one to say i want ics by the weekend.

Great idea for a thread - the other one was really getting cluttered with well meaning but ultimately useless posts. Pretty excited about this, and kudos to the devs for their hard work!
Noob question: Once we do have ICS compiled, if we wanted to flash one of the current modems (eg: on some Australian carriers, they need a specific modem to work), will that be compatible with 4.0?
just a question, i wanted to follow you on irc channel, but i can't see anybody... I put my pseudo, click join and now i can't do anything. If someone can help me ^^'

Sounds good but someone will take an unfair share ... so maybe if it went in to a single pot and then divided equally between them after a set period of time eg 2month
Ps, not saying I don't trust them all, but i just don't want any arguments between them

thats what i meant..one account or pot whatever you want to call it and then the amount shared equally amongst them..but how do you go about setting that up though?
Well we need someone trustable who could create an paypal account. Im sure all devs have an account. After a period of time the one we chose will transfer the same amount of money to the devs...or the devs create a team together with one account...or idk...there are alot of opportunities...we just need to find the best idea...
