For those who down play twitter, this is why it can be good. Samsung has released a direct way to get the JI6 update without waiting for OTA via Mini Kies(really? lol). So for those who want it that way, here you go

JI6 Update problems
Okay, now after updating through Kies Mini, I keep getting errors:
com.android.phone
android.process.media
com.android.calendar
etc... has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
and then you have to hit "Force Close"
...anyone know how to fix this?
Stock Vibrant
Lag Fix & Root
...FIXED
I just flashed to stock and then to JI6 with ODIN and now everything works.
after updated, my phone now stuck at bootscreen
i updated mines successfully..
please be AWARE that you have to DISABLE any lagfix before performing this update or else you may soft brick your phone. if you soft-bricked, i suggest flashing back to stock JFD build via ODIN and then update to ji6 via Kies Mini.
also be sure your usb debugging is on.
i also suggest you refer to the samsung kies mini thread that was originally posted in the vibrant general section since most have shared their experiences with updating there.
so according to the site,,, GPS fix is not included in JI6, it will be available in a few weeks...
few weeks = December
Samsuck needs to learn what customer support is.

Anyone done this and able to see fandango app in the market? I am not able to
My friend got the update OTA and is able to see fandango.
i did it successfully but don't see the fandango app either
duno what's going on there
How can I download this update!!! Stupid me hit cancel instead of install when i got my notification for it. I cant figure out how to update it now.
not updating?
i spoke to my local tmobile rep about what this update is really about and if it's even worth it for me to update...he's rooted and running ryans lagfix, one of the gps fixes and some other goodies like myself, his opinion, not worth it...wait for 2.2.
so i'm ignoring this update, any opinions?
Kies Mini Clockwork flashable
If anybody is interested, I have thrown together a Clockwork flashable JI6 update for personal use. There are 2 versions.
*Warning, proceed at your own risk as I cannot and will not be held responsible for your actions. Always perform a ClockWork ROM backup before flashing. The same rules apply regarding lag fixes as all other ROMs.
1st - This will wipe your data!!!
2nd - No format included (While this will not wipe your data, you will loose root and any installed mods... I recommend using the 1st dl if your coming from anything other than stock or leaked)

If this is a question regarding missing applications in the Market...
Quoting from this thread. The directions below worked for me running JI6. Just make sure to look for UVJI6 on both lines, rather than UVJI2. FYI, I changed them back after I downloaded and installed all of my apps in hopes of Google rectifying the issue (assuming it's on their end).
++++how to fix missing apps in the market++++
Missing market apps with new firmwares is always an issue because the market does not recognize the fingerprint. You need to be rooted and should open the file /system/build.prop in a text editor Scroll down till you come to the section titled # Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint. After this are two lines, on which the name of the firmware will be stated as T959UVJI2. Change the ast three letters in the name on both lines to JFD. Then save the file and reboot, and then go to market and download and install a couple of apps. After this the missing apps will show up again and won't go away until you install another unofficia firmware Last.
+++ Thank rajendra82 for this market fix, works great +++
Fandango movies . I have it on mine. I also used kies to update jI6 , successfully updated with no problems. I lost root but afterwards I rerooted.

THANK YOU! I haven't been able to get the OTA (been prompted 5/6 times) and didn't want to wipe with Odin. Everything appears to have worked with no issues and no wiping.
Hi,
I'm having a problem with a specific app.
I upgraded from Darky's Rom 8.0 to 9.1 (wipe). Didn't detected any problems whatsoever.
After applying lagfix Asphalt 5 app disappears after each restart.
Already disabled lagfix but the error still remains.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks,
I know that error Asphalt has been posted recently with the same rom .
So a search may find the answer .

Hi,
Thanks for replying,
Already see that post, but no one explains why this error happens or how to fix it.
They only say to download Apps2sd and transferring all the Apps to the external SD, and that I don't want to do. I only want to fix this particular issue.
Thanks,
why is this not posted inside the 'darky's rom' thread? (just curious)
I had the same problem with some of the custom roms like the cyanogen 6.1 beta's.
Some roms install apps on ext SD by default and after a reboot the app is missing in the drawer.
Check in app management, it should be still there and if you chose "move to phone" its back.
Hope this helps you out, it worked for me.

It's also there.
But first of all I don't know if this is an issue caused by the new darky's rom or some other known android sd card issue.
And second I don't see any problem in posting this issue in the xda forum where also darky have his rom posted.
why is this not posted inside the 'darky's rom' thread? (just curious)
I would guess cos it wont get an answer .

Exactly...
Thanks,
had the same problem with dark's 9.1 but with root explorer and other system apps. I don't have an external SD Card. Now the rom gone crazy and I had to reflash the V8. If this one goes crazy too, i will probably got o stock or on DOc's rom
I had the same problem with DocRom, it was caused by the deodex process that runs when phone is restarted.
It was caused by not having enough space in one partition (I think it was /system). So deodex failed. This only caused problems when deodexing big apps, like asphalt. You cans see the error by doing a logcat while phone is rebooting.
I couldn't find a solution. You might want to post in darky's thread. Maybe there is a way to disable deodex for some apps.
If you find a solution please post it here, I'd like to know how to fix this.
Thanks guys,
I thing that this error it's associated with another, I explain.
I was starting to wipe dalvik cache to see if it solve this issue but is says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (file exists).
I had this error once and the Asphast 5 App also disappeared after each restart.
Then I flashed with Odin and re-partition a new rom and the error was gone.
Also, the App error was also solved.
Now I have the same two errors, so they are related.
I need to find more information about this issue.
If anyone knows more please share.
Thanks,
I receive that dalvik cache error every time when i'm wipeing the dalvik, but never lost apps before.
I only lose one, "Asphast 5".
I re-flashed the phone with Odin and JPU stock rom, re-partition.
Formatted my internal and external card, then clean installed a wipe 9.1 Darky version and the Asphalt 5 app remained on the phone.
After I started to install all the apps again with Titanium Backup the Asphalt 5 app disappeared after restart.
I really don't know what's going wrong. I know that with my old Darky 8.0 this didn't happened...
Anyone has ideas?
latest doc rom + hardcore kernel, same problem only 1 app keep missing after restart. (asphalt5 from samsung apps)
I think must be something with the big size apk, can't find other bigger apps then asphalt5.
You may check if this solution in the ROM Kitchen Thread works here as well.
I have been unable to install gapps on CM7 dual boot version using CWR 3.0.0.5. It says it installed but when I reboot the market and other apps are not there.
I had no problems with nookie froyo or HC, but CM7 is causing problems. I even tried to install Vending.API manually but it wouldn't execute.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Me too, please some developer help here
Me too, I'm having this same problem. Clearly, the standard way to do this won't work because it's dual-boot. It's incredibly frustrating trying to figure this out; the developer thread on dual-boot images has only obsolete, broken links to the adapted gapps, and thread search is broken, and sorry I'm not going to search 47 pages by hand. The nightly CM7 has no market, nothing but the gallery, and there is nothing on the forum in any noticeable spot that addresses how to get the market and other google apps working on CM7 dual boot. Come on, people, there must be some easy way to find this kind of common stuff out on this forum. Anyone??
Aha, I found it on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461&page=43 . Download the dual-boot gapps zip from http://www.multiupload.com/7DG6MNXWS4 and then flash as update.zip using your CWM sd card.
Thank you! Saved my life.
So I have my nookcolor set up just the way I like it with CM7 7.0.2 and D's OC kernal.
It occurred to me that one of my favorite pastimes before I flashed CM7 was to play the original Crosswords that shipped with the nook. Short of reflashing back to stock, and risking an unintended (and unwanted) 'upgrade', and pulling the apk from that image, I no longer have the crosswords apk that shipped with the nookcolor.
Does anyone have that apk or a link to the file so I could put it on my nook? I've tried the other crosswords from the market, the B&N was the favorite.
Thanks
EDIT:
That's a big never mind. Found them in the right sub forum. duh.
1 can of egg remover, please.
looking for the same thing
hello, i'm looking for the same thing. I even tried to pull the original apk off of my nook color prior to rooting it and installing CM7 on it. But everytime I try to run the crossword apk it gives me an error. I'll let you know if I can figure this out.

Do you have a link to it? I'm kind of interested now. I searched in the Apps sub-forum but it didn't return anything.
I found the an old apk here : http://code.google.com/p/nookdevs/downloads/detail?name=nookCrossWord.apk&can=2&q=

How are you "installing" it?
You all know many of the original apps were customized for the stock Nook ROM....
I run it fine under CM7. I just grabbed the .apk from the stock ROM and installed it under CM7 a long time ago. Ever since then it just comes back from my Titanium Backup restore when I switch/upgrade ROMs. I don't feel comfortable posting the .apk here for legal reasons, but I did want to chime in that it works fine under CM7 and MIUI.
Shortyz crosswords is a great market alternative. It automatically downloads several national crosswords every day.
Using 7-zip, you can extract the crossword apk from one of the the original roms, and like the prev poster said, it installs and runs perfectly on cm7.

I downloaded the app, put it in my dropbox and downloaded it to the NC, then installed it.
got it
Thanks for the great replies everyone. I ended up going back to the stock ROM and then used the ManualNooter to root my device. Now I have both the capabilities of CM7 and the stock Nook Apps as well.
I still also have all my shelves and original ebooks installed and have access to everything on the market as well.
Thanks to GabrialDestruir for the great walkthrough
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027&highlight=overclock
got it
i ended up going back to a CM7 to test this out. And after pulling the original Crossword.apk from the stock 1.3 ROM I was able to get it installed and running with no problems.
However, now that I have the latest nightly build of 214. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore&type=nightly
I am having boatloads of force close errors. Mainly on startup I am getting force closes on the google apps (gapps), google framework, and one of the apps i installed from the market as well. I am also unable to run the Facebook for Android app. I tried re-running the Set Permissions, and tried to clear the Davlik Cache as well.
Should I try one of the stable builds to fix these issues?
CM7.1 is out now try that

I just updated my device to the last version 2.3.3 gingerbread.
Everything was working good until I tried to make a call.
I have full service signal, but the problem is that I cannot hear anything and from the other side cannot hear me too.
however, is not a hardware problem, because I can make calls using Skype or any other similar app without problems.
my device is in S-Off and I used ClockworkMod Recovery (downloaded from another thread here) to Install the Rom.
first, I downloaded the Rom from a chinese website and then I tried with another one (non chinese)
but...both with the same problem, So I guess is not a ROM problem.
I'm trying to update from a 2.2.1 version also downloaded from a chinese website (I bought my cellphone in China).
I have tried with some RUUs from this forum, but I'm also having the problem 170 & 171 usb conexion.
I tried to explain everything full detailed. Hope someone could help me!
(I was looking for answers in other threads but with no success)
Thanks.
Hi there,
I had the same problem as you only a few weeks ago after installing a custom rom as well going from froyo to gingerbread.
The problem lies with the radio. You will need to upgrade your radio version. In doing so you will get sound from voice calls back.
Here is the thread I followed that will show you how. At the bottom of the first post you will have the list of radio versions as well as with which RUU it should go with.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129014
Hope it works for you, good luck!
System92
Thanks for your quick response!, I will check right now!.
Tell you later!
---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------
can you tell me which Rom and Radio you used please?. and Did you use some .exe Ruu?.
Thanks!
I am using CyanogenMod Nightly builds, which are based on Android 2.3.5 now. My radio is 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16 (last hyperlink from the list) and everything runs well.
No I didn't use a .exe RUU
I need to bother you again!. is this version size just 78Mb?. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015532)
others Rom I downloaded was all above 200 Mb.
If it's like the ones on the official site, it is probably zipped (explaining the smaller size, +/- 80mb).
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=vivo
Thank you very much System92, I just Installed the same Rom and Radio as you did and It worked perfectly!. (by the way, It's a great Rom with a fantasctic interface!)
Thanks Again!
Your welcome Bastian_n, I'm glad you got everything working!
CM7 is basically what stock Android looks like without Sense UI. Although with some tweaking you'll find that you can still customize it to your liking!
Have fun!
one last question. I cannot find the market in this version? Should I do something more? maybe patch it, or Install it as an upgrade?

Yes with the CM 7 Rom you will have to install the Google Apps separately.
Google apps may not have been included in the rom's installation. All you will have to do is download the Google Apps from HERE. Go to the very bottom of the page and click on "Download" for CyanogenMod 7.
Next, follow these instructions:
Once booted you might find some apps are missing, namely the Android Market, Gmail, etc. If this has happened, you will need to flash the Google Apps pack. To flash, copy the Google Apps to the root of the SD card, boot into the custom recovery image, and flash the Google Apps package like you flash any other ROM (do not wipe data after flashing the Google Apps package).
