I have had my tilt for about three weeks now. video is slow and sluggish,
is there anything wrong with it or is that just the way it is. when you move it lags and takes a while for the video to catch up and focus.
and is there any help out there to replace the lcd..
Thank you. I have already broke it and got a new one on the way.
Dude... Look around man.. Come on... Look at the stickys' look at the titles of all the posts..

I think everyone else around here is reporting that the video is SO fast that the battery actually catches fire. It must be your phone. I'd take it back and exchange it for a RAZR or something.
I bet the video will look better once you install the new lcd.

You need to take out your Windows Mobile 6 CD, connect your USB cable to your device and computer, place the CD in the CD Drive and wait for the wizard, reinstall your OS, just do a complete format and reinstall.

Ok guys no need to lose temper =)
Your problem is what every Kaiser out there has. It is related to the fact that HTC didn't include proper drivers, so if your video is big and not properly converted it may be slow and sluggish.
Just read some sticky posts at the top or go to htcclassaction.org for full info on the problem.
thank you
Thank you for the information
8So everyone begged for it and here it is, a beggining to end revamp of the ffc mod thread.
Original threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770854
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804146
(note im doing this from my phone, so please let ne know of any typos, broken links, or missed topics)
This will be in Q&A form, so lets get started.
1) Where do I get an FFC?
Globaldirectparts.com sells them in bulk, shipping is slow, so now your best bet is ebay.
2) How do I install it?
Start here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOvt6atrin8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Then here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8436475&postcount=375
Video removed...
3) I got it installed, but how do I use it?
Most custom roms include support for the ffc. If yours does not there is a flashable zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11172683&postcount=1482
4) My FFC is blurry... wtf?
You need to focus it, there is a small ring on the FFC, play with it until you find the sweetspot for you.
5) There are red lines in low light, is there a fix?
Currently no, there has been signifigant progress on lowering the amount, but its not perfect yet. Be patient its coming.
6) How do I videochat?
First you need an app called sgstools, get it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Next go into the .prop editor and select build.prop. Press menu, and then unblock. Now for every field that reads "SGH-T959" change it to "GT-I9000". Hit menu then save, now reboot. You can now go to tye market and download apps such as fring and Tango!
7) In the chat app, my image is rotated 90degrees.
Its an app problem. Ask the person you are chatting with if they see you sideways, if they say yes, uninstall the app and try changing your build.prop to SPH-D700.
8)What if I have more questions?
Ask them here, I vow to keep this thread flame free. (although there will be sarcasm)
9)What is SGStools?
Its a program used to install the i9000 cam, change build.prop, anf even access hidden features of your phone such as gps test and network status. You can find the latest version here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Thanks to Sirrial, Kellylewis, Scrizz, Master, Eugene, hell everybody, we've been working on this for 4 mos. and we are the reason the Vibrant 4g exsits.
Update: There is an update to sgstools. After you install, reboot then open your market. When you look at your apps list you will see an update, dont click it you'll get an error. Instead, long press it and select update.
(I didnt do this to step on toes. There was a huge demand for this. If you want faster production I highly advise on donating to Kellylewis, he is trying to juglle this project along with life and service to.his country, correct me if i'm wrong there. Also I purposefully left out the test kernals posted before because they aren't a full fix and have produced errors with kb1 roms)

Thanks for the new thread it really helps outs. I'm just waiting until the V4G comes out to pull the trigger on the ffc.
Fear the beard...
Alright, clean slate.
We need to search the old threads for the updates or latest 'news' of what has happened to this.
I'll take my part in searching certain post by KellyLewis on what progress he's done to this, along with other users.
Also, OP, we need an extra space for all the post that has attachments, you know how it is, everybody will start asking "where can i find that one attachment that fixes...etc." on this thread. We don't need that such.
I believe Siiral had a one stop shop for the attachments, and i think we can just link that up for that particular post?
What you think?

Ok im on board with the new thread. Im talking to my kernel dev as I write this on more things to try. The issue were having right now isnt banding well what were used to anyways. We have color lines at the moment like greens and blues, we got rid of the red and white so far. We get rid of one and create another.
If your feeling generous.

I've a FFC mod, i'd like to know if it is possible to make a video call to a phone number, with no other application like tango or fring.
Thank's
As I have stated before I'm a amateur photographer and I have learned that in low light situations it is very important to understand that banding will always be a major hurdle. Since this is a "Fixed" lens, and the camera has no flash, post processing of video/pictures will IMO go the furthest with lessening/eliminating banding. Have you guys been able to find what (software) the I9000 uses for this? Can the Image Stabilization software be tweaked? ISO be increased or shutter speed be sped up. I know I am asking/presenting more problems than solutions but I really think that these are the key.
There's a nice little camera apk that can be flashed on page 149 of the main thread that could go in the op.

this is very true, as i am filmmaker and have been working with film for many years. if, like you say, it is an ISO problem, which it seems to be, it is all software, and we need to figure out how to let more light in, or somehow bring up the contrast (which might also fix the problem).
we need more light to go into the lens
We do need more light in the lens I took a video outside in the daytime and there was almost no banding only indoors or artificial lighting is where the banding is bad

I'm on board as well, I did some work on grounding... succeeded in frying one camera, won't be so clumsy on the next.
I think it would help to incorporate some of the findings in one part of thread (op)
Then at least we can get rid of the redundancy and repetitive questions.
BTW my earlier Nikon DSLR's had banding issues as well in low light, so it is a common issue
has anyone been able to successfully swap out their vibrant (if necessary) with t-mobile after applying this mod? I have it done, and am thinking about trying the nail polish trick to see if i can get a replacement for dropped calls. just not sure if it will work.

really? i've been trying but no matter what i do it's still kind of obvious that something has been changed there when you look towards that corner
I have noticed that prior to displaying a photo with the gallery that there appears to be some processing of the picture. I am wondering if the I9000 does that prior to saving a picture to memory. Has anyone tried to import (hope that's the right term) that APK and seeing if it helps?
I returned my vibrant with this mod as well.. So far no extra fees other than shipping since I don't have insurance..
At first I used spray paint.. I spray painted a paper and collected enough paint to let ONE drop drip into the hole..and with a toothpick I spread it around.. But it wouldnt dry and once it did I missed a spot. It was a pain. But I think it works most effectively if done right.. When I returned it however, I just used the black nail polish mentioned before. It was soo obvious but it worked. Btw my camera had goo-gone IN it which made every picture blurry.. (why I returned it) plus my vibration didn't work so....
You should be good

awesome. thanks a lot! i found that using my sisters old mascara pen thing with a mixture of black nail polish did the trick. it's drying right now. will post back results in case anyone is wondering!
This is a VIDEO tutorial to describe to users how to replace your Vibrant camera with an i9000 one including Front Facing Camera. Thank you to to all the support this community offers.
This video is in my opinion the easiest way currently available to perform the MOD. I went with what I felt was the most direct path and tried to focus on simplistic steps. Thank you for watching and good luck!
This video and tutorial is in development because IMO that's what it is.
Also MODS feel free to move this anywhere you like or remove if something seems unsuitable. DEVS, you may use this video in any FAQs and I give whomever want's permission to embed this video. If possible try to credit my username or youtube name if using the clips as well as my donate link.
Thanks!
I DO RECOMMEND TO WATCH THE ENTIRE PROCESS BEFORE MODIFYING YOUR DEVICE.
Links pulled due to XDA request.
Adhere to any DISCLAIMERS. Be sure to to check out the links below to buy this camera from me with quick USA shipping or to have me service your Vibrant with this mod at an affordable price.

Great Video. I will, one day do this to mine, even though I won't use it.
I love it! Wasn't wanting to perform the mod until I saw the video... thanks a ton!
This video is well done, I have installed about a dozen of these and this video shows the method VERY WELL. Additionally, the verbal dialogue is well paced and easy to follow............. My hat's off to you !!!
One thing, The "Clean the hole process" is actually the most important Part. Otherwise, you will get a unclear or blurring result from the glass not being perfectly clear.
What I do is use a bent dental pick to go around the hole on the outside edge (essentially to scribe a break line) then use the goo-gone or equal to begin cleaning. Then, where you are using a flat-head screw diver.... I am using round toothpicks, as you get it cleaner (I use about 6 typically per process) begin by using the tip, then cut the tip off to have a blunt round shaft, and then use that to remove the glue and black paint. Keep repeating this process until it is clear. After that, use a bit of the cotton off a q-tip with Windex (or equal) and shove into the hole and do the circular motion. After a couple of times, I finish off with Alcohol and then polish with dry cotton on a toothpick (fits better) Then finally, check with a flashlight and make sure it is crystal clear.
Great Vid. I just picked up a Vibrant on im gonna be doing this mod ASAP!
Awsome video, this makes me want to install the camera I have been sitting on for the past 4 months. So does the ROM you are using take care of the banding issues? Most important part
Video tutorial is simple just ensuring the hole is cleaned correctly .... been using macnut r 14 which I believe is already modified for front facing camera just have to install.....

Is there a camera apk to install after this or does the ROM need to be developed to support the front facing camera?
Looks very interesting.... and tempting.

In those original threads I link to you can find the answers like this. I didn't look into adding the functionality to an existing ROM so I just flashed an FFC supported ROM.
Does anyone have any clue as to how to fix the banding issues? I have mine installed and those vertical lines are pretty prevalent. Great mod though, works wonderful besides the banding!
Wondering if anyone tried to open it. Cannot find any info but wish there is possibility to replace battery
Look like shoud be as easy as opening WD My Passport
Woudl be good to know, or lets hope these batteries are decent to last...
It's a bit tricky, I damage my friend's DS7!!!! Right now there is ni extended battery for the DS7 (Correct me if I'm wrong), only the external (4 X AA) batteries.
If anything goes, I'll let you know.
Ouch, 1st report we hear and its "Damaged DS7" so what happened when you damaged it, Give some reports and precautions please. =)
Hey theres a video somewhere with a guy opening the ds7! Don't remember where! Google it!
