I had an HTC LEGEND which I rooted and used Blayo’s rom on, and then
later a stripped down version of it. I loved it, made my phone faster everything worked great and it updated me to 2.2
Now I’ve got a new phone the Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I’ve heard that the modding community has done some fantastic work for this piece of hardware. I’ve been creeping on the forum for the last couple of days and noticed a few things.
First it seems like a bit more work to flash the phones, and second that there’s a lot more options with things like kernals and such. Despite reading through pages of intellectual jargon I’m still feeling a little overwhelmed in what choices to make. Perhaps if I listed the features I was looking for someone could point me in the right direction?
I can follow the directions that forum members have posted easily enough I just can’t decide what is right for me when it comes to flashing the phone.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
I like the stock rom look and enjoy the layout of the phone, contacts, apps and messaging home row.
I would really like to have better battery life as I feel the phone really doesn’t last long.
I hear that there may be some better GPS tweaks? I use the GPS lots when I’m out of cell range with pre-loaded backroad maps. It’s REALLY important to me that this works as it could get me home at night or leave me stranded in the dark during hunting season if it doesn’t work.
I’d like to get rid of all the bell and Samsung bloatware. I didn’t really seem to care for any of the stuff they had pre-loaded.
I’d like to keep the voice dialer, calendar for sure along with the
contact manger – it’s sweet.
I don’t really like the pre-loaded internet app been using Dolphin mini and loving it.
I would like it to be as stable as possible I don’t want to be having to tinker
with it all the time.
Based on these prerequisites and that knowledge that my phone is:
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell i9000m
Any suggestions?

Yes. I'd suggest checking out the Vibrant forums .
You've got the right forum! The Canadian "Vibrants" are not the same as the "Vibrants" from the US. What is the manufacture date of your phone? It should be located behind the battery. I had a galaxy s from Aug (from Bell) and I found the GPS really bad. It improved with the updates but would still put me on wrong roads, etc. However, I now have a phone made in Dec. 2010 and it seems like the GPS is much better than before (without any tweaks or anything). It actually works with google navigation now! I would recommend you test out the GPS thoroughly (without assistance from towers) before going on any big trips. I went on a 9 hour drive with my old SGS' GPS and it was terrible.
oops, forgot to mention that seeARM has a rom based off of stock Bell JL2 ROM. If you are worried about the possible internal SD issue that was happening a month or so ago, this seems like a safe bet. It does seem like the issues have been solved though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906977
It says that the stock launcher is included so you can keep the touchwiz, contact manager, etc. I think there's still some bell bloatware on but I believe you can remove them through programs like titanium backup.

Hes got the right Forums buddy This is the Canadian version of the Vibrant not the T-mobile one
I have a few more questions before I make the leap to buy my first ever Android based device.
The Questions:
Will Rooting make my phone more susceptible to being Hijacked/Hacked /Virus?..so on. I presume its no, but security is nothing to play with. Does McAfee have an App? (That was a joke)
Is there currently anything I should stay way from that doesn't currently work or isn't stable with 4.0 Ice-cream Sandwich?
Will Adobes Apps (Photoshop Touch for example) work on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE/GT-N7000? I ask this because said app is made for a tablet...but the GALAXY NOTE isn't your average tablet since it's a phone? It meets the resolution requirements... just not the size. Hence the confusion. This kind of thing is actually my biggest query at the moment...perhaps I should broaden the question...If it is made for a standard tablet, will it work with this sort of tablet?Would Paranoid Android assist me in this concern? (I think it would based on what I have seen)
Once I have rooted- is there any way for ME to customize the UI and how the hardware (such as GPS and Ram) functions. As you may have gathered I know my away around Adobe Suite and I could at the very least do some of that... or do I just have to...ugh...what's the jargon word...
Flash the Rom with someone else's handy work?
Does anyone have a recommendations on where I should buy the Unlocked SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE/GT-N7000 Note? I just want to know the options I may have other than Amazon, Ebay, or Expansys.
- Doesn't really matter anymore. If anyone would still like to answer it -here it is.

You all (well most) have been very helpful. I know the main purpose of this site is Modding Android (or at least the phones they come on) , and not to play 20 questions with the noob who doesn't even have the device yet!
So - Thank you for your understanding. It is greatly appreciated!

Edit3: Found Answer to "Will THIS root method work with 4.0 Ice-cream Sandwich?" The answer is yes.
Bump!
This is the last time I intend to bump this (not that I wanted to in the first place). If this is truly meant to drift off unanswered than so be it.
I just hope that in the event of something horrible (or at least unknown) occurring to my phone that I can search the answer...since asking doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

Ok, if you can download it, Adobe it should work. You can try a custom rom which supports tablet mode should you not be able to download with normal dpi. That will enable tablet mode in market, after clearing market data and reboot it should become available for dl.
Currently there are a couple good stock ICS roms and a couple good custom roms. All (except cm9 xplodwild is safe, not other cm9) kernels are dangerous due to Brickrisk of known bug. However, all cm9 based suffer the bugs of cm9, speakerphone broken, high battery consumption, etc. Most have their own bugs on top.
Now ICS source is out wait a couple days as more custom roms and kernels will be build as well as bugfixes. And off course, support the devs with donations for coffee, so they stay awake and make no errors lmao .
I love this community, enjoy

1. No. Truth is, root or no root, you are equally vulnerable to malware. Just read the reviews and all before installing any, you know, 'unknown' app.
2. Wiping, factory resets and CWM. Although this is just for stock German ICS and older ICS ROMs like Stunner. New ROMs like Paranoid, CM9 are safe. Still in case you must search before you do anything with custom ROMs just to be on the safe side.
3. Can't find Photoshop Touch on the play store. But there must be a work around am sure. I am using Paranoid by the way.
4. You can pretty much flash a custom ROM and flash various themes and things. Don't know about RAM but you can over clock or under clock your processor. There are various tweaks scattered so just search for it and more often than not you will find it. Carbon tweaks are really good. Search them in themes and apps.

Tablet Mode. Ill look out for that in the features.

However, all cm9 based suffer the bugs of cm9, speakerphone broken, high battery consumption, etc. Most have their own bugs on top.
Brick Risk Eh?...Well this is why I ask these things. Ill stay away from cm9/kernels. I know enough now that it looks like can look into some custom roms with a *little* more on the ball.
Now ICS source is out wait a couple days as more custom roms and kernels will be build as well as bugfixes. And off course, support the devs with donations for coffee, so they stay awake and make no errors lmao .

Hi there, long time lurker first time poster here.
I have an AT&T branded galaxy captivate that I rooted and unlocked. I've been happy enough with it, but I'm still running froyo here, and I have been thinking about an update to 4.x
I see many options out there in the way of roms, and I am confident enough in updating the phone, I've done other phones both android and ios for friends and customers (I'm a computer tech)
But now that I have decided to commit to an upgrade, I'm feeling a little conflicted on what rom to pick. They all have their points, but since I litterally use mine for the phone function, and a few games and barely for work reasons (my professional apps only include a wifi scanner, dell service tag lookup, and a few other little techie apps) I really just don't know what to pick.
So if you folks would be so kind as to share opinions, perhaps recommend a rom, and perhaps let me know what kind of experience you had with the particular one you installed, I would be very grateful.
Oh, and I don't know if the phone will be unlocked after the update or not, I wasn't quite clear on that, so if somoene would be kind enough to let me know on that point as well it would be nice. I have it unlocked so when I pop outside the country I can just grab a cheap pre paid sim off the shelf in whatever country I visit and use that for local calls while I'm there. Saves a ton on the bill since it seems like NO ONE in the US provides decent rates for calling while out in the world. I just drop my original sim back in when I come home, or if I need to call back home while out I just eat the charge.
tl;dr
Which 4.x captivate rom do you prefer and why?

I've been using CyanogenMod since version 7, and I like it pretty well. 10.1 is very clean, based on Jelly Bean 4.2, and it has few flaws. It's my daily driver. Having said that, I've also used other Gingerbread ROMs like Andromeda and other JB ROMs like Captivating. Each one has its pluses and minuses. The best thing you can do is read user reviews, do some research, and pick one that works for you. As far as unlocking, I have no expedited with that, but my guess would be that that's a function of the SIM card and the hardware, so I would guess once unlocked, always unlocked. But hopefully someone smarter than I am in that area will correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for that falcon, I appreciate the reply.
I have seen reviews of pros and cons in various threads, but they are all mainly focused on the rom being discussed in that theread, what I was hoping to get was a kind of comparison of opinions between the various choices here. CyanogenMod was one I looked over, but the bugs made me hesitate, I'd prefer slightly more stability than what it currently offers, though once the next revision hits I will see how many of those bugs are fixed and wait to see if new ones crop up, and if it seems decent (no data loss or phone freeze bugs left) I will likely give it a try, but for now, I'll play with something else a bit more stable and see how it goes.
Thanks again for the input!
EDIT:
Well, while I was waiting I decided I would flash a few roms and see how they ran on the phone one after another, after getting that status 7 error on captivating, hellybean, slimbean, and cyanogen, I finally got LaNight to instal, sooooo I guess unless someone can tell me why the others are all coming up staus 7 and failing, I'm going with LaNight found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003346
Odd, I checked the md5 on all the files, followed the directions on each install, tried them all from speedmod as well, tried restoring back to stock firmware and re doing speedmod with odin and still all but LaNight fail with a status 7 and abort.
Strange indeed.

Have you tried getting corn kernel instead of speedmod? That might fix your status 7 error.
Also, when flashing a JB ROM, you'll have top flash them twice as it repartitions the first time.
And when it comes to stability, AoCP and AOKP are my fav but I heard a lot of good things about other ROMs as well (like captivating).

I shall have to try that since it seems LaNight wont allow my phone to connect to the mobile network, it keeps telling me "error when searching for network" when I try to connect to it after popping in my new sim card.

3 things can cause this, you IMEI is wrong; APN is wrong or you need another modem.
Hi gang.
First off an apology if some of this/ all of this has been heard before. I spent all morning trawling forums and the internet in an attempt to fix the problems, but none seem to be anything I can deal with without getting some guidance from people in the know beforehand.
I have had my Galaxy tab GT-P1010 for a couple of years now and been very happy. It was origionally running Froyo, which is what the models ship with. Foolishly I presumed any updates from Samsung would be a benefit to the tab. The device is now rather clunky. Scrolling is slow and sluggish, programs crash without warning and the latest trick is that dialogue boxes are non-responsive (i.e. 'your phone will shut down: ok, cancel' does nothing when I press either option. Repeatedly. In rage.) The only option I have now for shutting down is to let the battery bleed out or hold the power key to switch off. I've tried things like factory reset, but even after reset, I'm still left with stupid old gingerbread.
Looking around there seem to be some options, but after reading through several times, I still have no clue. I understand that part of the problem is samsungs 'bloatware', of which there is plenty.
I'm not really sure how to go about it- I understand there are programs out there- Odin, Nandroid etc, but I'm a little lost on the lingo, and a little reluctant to go poking around without any decent knowledge.
Can anyone help? Or is this really a 'send it back to smasung job? It looks like I'm faced with these options:
1) somehow backdate from Gingerbread to Froyo
2) Strip out the samsung OS and install another launcher (which sounds like a can of worms to me)
3) send it back to Samsung and never EVER touch another one of their stinking updates.
4) another straightforward option that I haven't considered
Please help! (bear in mind I'm a total code-tard)
Return to froyo if that is the state where you are most comfortable with.
Another option would be, buy a new tab with better specs.

Actually, the best solution is to UPgrade, not downgrade. There are many decent guides out there for modding your Galaxy Tab and flashing a custom ROM. Personally I've found that the stock Android ROMs (the device's OS, so to speak), particularly the older ones, are very slow in and of themselves. If you want, I can guide you through the process, PM me if you feel like it. Or you can PM a veteran like priyana, he has the biggest Thanks Meter I've seen so far on this end of the forums.
Modding your system, from personal experience gives you a major performance boost. You should first try this alternative before thinking about buying another device.
I scan the forum often, and thanks for the good words, geno,
But I don't know much beyond P1000 model.
But there are a few threads for P1010 that seems solid and has good followers.

You deserve them man. Anyway, how different is the P1010 from the P1000? My own model, the NTT DoCoMo SC-01C, is actually nothing more than a rebranded P1000. Surely the operations can't be all that different for another model of the Galaxy Tab line. Does the Overcome kernel and ROM, for example, flash on other models or is it exclusively for the P1000?
EDIT: To the op, I actually did some looking around and found that the P1010 is something of a black sheep in the Galaxy Tab line. There are few, if any, custom ROMs for it, but there were a few threads that describe tweaks for performance and other things. They are the following:
Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 (WiFi Only) NooB Guide (you've probably already seen this)(you should also check the Thread Consolidation post somewhere there)
This thread shows some promise for CyanogenMod on your device, but it seems to have dropped off.
This thread might help you with your lag problem, as it (supposedly) brings you to the latest Gingerbread build.
In summary, though, it looks like I spoke too soon. There may, in fact, not be a better alternative than simply getting a new device. The Nexus 7 is currently hailed as one of the best Android tablets out there, and I find that it's pretty reasonably priced at $199 or so.
The open nature of Android is one of the reasons I love it so much, but if you can't do much with your particular device then you're not getting the most out of what Android has to offer. If I were in your shoes I'd probably switch if I had the money for it.
Anyway, that's the best I can do. Good luck with your device, man. If you ever decide to try tweaking it and/or need to ask some questions about the applications involved and other terms and such, priyana should be able to help you.

Apparently the hardware is quite different. Your SC-01 is still quite close.
The heart of the ROM is the kernel and if the hardware is different, the kernel is bound to be different.
Not many top devs looking at P1010, so I think not much poking into the kernel been done.

I've just swapped to a nexus 6. Not enjoying the pure Android experience and thinking about installing cyanogenmod.
Does this work with GoPro cameras? My previous OnePlus (which had cyanogenmod) did not...
No answers?
I mean... what are you trying to do with it?
Did your one plus work with baseball games?
The OnePlus could not connect to the GoPro wireless network.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
OK we are getting a little bit closer... Try actually explaining the situation. You are making it very hard on people. Especially since your first post didn't even establish what kind of go pro your talking about, or what functionality you were trying to use...
So are you trying to ask if the gopro app works on cyanogenmod?
If you google "does gopro app work with cyanogenmod, the very first result is from the one plus forum.
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/gopro-app-incompatible-with-latest-version-of-cyanogenmod.319459/
However the issue they discuss is not an issue with connecting to the wireless network, its simply that the app is apparently not made available in the play store for the one plus one on firmware > CM12
Though it seems that you can simply download and install the APK yourself... Have you tried this?
If you wont give us details on what your experiencing it will be very hard to help you. Don't make us work so hard, because quite a few people simply wont, and they might have your answer. Please give more then a sentence, and actually describe your problem. What your trying to do, how your trying to do it, and what you have done or researched so far in trying to fix it... Your MUCH more likely to get actual help if you do that.
Probably worth checking on the CM forums, finding a user who both runs CM and uses a gopro may be difficult.
Or just try it... Since you definitely could have made a backup, flashed CM tested and reverted to stock by now.
