After quite a bit of testing, I can confirm this is working 100% for me. GPS lock after start-up is always <30 seconds. Lock after deep sleep is <80 seconds (often <60 seconds).
I always get a lock.

Same here. No GPS after deep sleep with test kernel on 0421.

Some good news regarding 911 calling:
Remember, gun posted earlier:
After flashing all my tests and everything, then we decided to try a hacked build of Bionix, that did not work either, so then he tried stock, and guess what? Didn't work either. So he went his way to try and get it working on stock again, and I got a PM that he fixed it, by restoring his EFS folder, and now 911 works with and without SIM on the latest CM9 nightlies!
So -1 on the 911 failure count.
Big thanks to gun for all the testing.

Thats GREAT news. Personally, the 911 issue didn't matter to me but I do know many people that have been staying back on Froyo/GB just because of that issue. Hopefully it works for everyone else too.
Congrats to you and gun on solving it - possibly since its not 100% sure yet, right?
Nothing was solved -- except he solved on why he individually couldn't, not having to do with CM9.
Yeah, that was just his issue, nothing really needed to be changed in CM9 for him, it was his efs folder, so other failures may still be on us. There's still the one shot tests that failed, and EmoEskimo who had multiple failures, so I gotta try to work with him, and there's also renardk764's one shot failure of the RIL dying, but that may be a fluke as he can't reproduce it.

I'm pretty sure there is no problem with 911 any more. But as we all know Vibrant system files can be heavily modified and there will always be someone who has knowingly or unknowingly some missing or broken file somewhere and I don't think it is developers' fault. On top of that some Vibrants' hardware just act funny due to: age, moisture etc. and that has nothing to do with particular build. So it maybe be impossible to eliminate all 911 problems.
Maybe we should do a poll about 911. I know many are afraid to dial 911 but I did it so many time and answering person even thanked me when I said I just tested my phone or I dialled wrong number. No issues whatsoever.

Amen,Amen bro! I'm always on CM or AOPK or Zen. These phones are still pound for pound in the best league! Good looks

Perhaps all the people who have 911 problems should restore the EFS folder before any further testing to see if their 911 failed due to the same if not similar reasons gun's did.

Couldn't agree more.. picking up a couple fresh 1800 mAh batteries was one of the best things I've ever done.
On that note though, with a little more juice to play with I started playing with the governors. However no matter what I do it snaps back so SMARTASSV2 when I turn the screen off. Am I missing something here?
R u playing with sub zero?
If so it happens with my phone too...

Sorry about that. That is the screenstate scaling script using the defaults (Smartassv2 and Conservative). Disable the script in the subZero CWM menu, or change the governor values in /system/etc/init.d/98screenstate_scaling to the ones you want.
The next version of the kernel will ship with a script that will detect if you have any custom-set governors and use those instead.

Yup Sub Zero 70. Good to know.. Thanks.

Please.. don't ever apologize for providing awesome free work!
But thanks for the fix.. looking forward to trying it. With my new big battery I want to try a little OC and performance governor. See just how badass I can make my 2 year old phone
Seriously this has made me barely even excited about the SGS III anymore.

69Please note that there may be intermittent emergency dialing issues and/or GPS/AGPS issues (including GPS daemon crashing, which does not restart) which could hinder location of you in an emergency.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:#include <std/disclaimer.h> /* * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear * war, or the current economic crisis caused by you following these * directions. YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and * if you point your finger at me for messing up your device, I will * laugh at you. */
This thread is for the development of CyanogenMod 9 nightlies for the Samsung Vibrant (aka SGH-T959), the Galaxy S 4G / Vibrant 4G (SGH-T959V) is not supported here. Nightlies are built each night with the very latest code, for this reason, they are extremely experimental and should be avoided by beginners and people who have important responsibilities tied to the usage of their phone.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!1410[font=Calibri,Arial]How to Build[/font]First initialize your build environment.
Now follow the "installing repo" section in this guide:
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
Now downloading CyanogenMod source:
Code:mkdir ~/Desktop/CM9 cd ~/Desktop/CM9 repo init -u http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git repo sync -j24
More setup:
Code:. build/envsetup.sh breakfast cm_vibrantmtd-userdebug
Getting proprietary files:
You must have a copy of CM9 for the Vibrant running on your phone for this part.
Code:( cd device/samsung/vibrantmtd && ./extract-files.sh )
Compiling:
Code:mka bacon9911
Ok so here is my 911 experience. I live in Denver by the way, and I just emailed the 911 operations manager about doing a test call. She said that is fine just please do it between 8:30 and 11:30 as that is their lowest call volume.
So the first time I called it clicked, hung up and disabled my entire cell signal. No signal no data nothing. So I rebooted my phone, and google voice informed me I had 2 missed calls from the Denver PD. I tried again and it worked perfectly. I explained I was testing a piece of software, the woman was very friendly said that was no problem and they wouldn't send anyone out. She also confirmed that all the E911 info came up properly on her screen.
So I'm not sure what to make of this exactly. One time it did nothing though at least my number got through. The other time it worked great. I mean the first time could have been a glitch entirely unrelated to CM. Hard to say. It leaves me ambigious though. If I have a real emergency I really don't want to wait for the phone to reboot!
