[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta3 for Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 Working on the Vibrant

---

I havent actually seen the Cyanogen Rom/Vibrant thread so I figured Id start one. So after my buddy put it on his captivate, I figured I would take the plunge and I would try it on the Vibrant. I was running Obsidian v5 and ported right from that. I take no credit for this, aside from doing it, Give the devs the credit, there the one keeping the community going.

GOES WITHOUT SAYING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

Steps for Flashing

Source:Cyanogen i9000 forum
1. Make sure your phone is fully charged! Update process will take some time.
2. Make sure that you've not applied any lagfix to your phone. Otherwise remove it!
3. Make sure you're actually on JPM Firmware or newer. If not, flash and boot into it. We need this Modem Firmware!
4. Download initial Kernel (Link).
5. Download CyanogenMod Beta3 (Link) and copy it onto your internal sdcard. Don't extract!
6. Optional: Download Google Addon (Direct DL Link) and copy it onto your internal sdcard.
7. Make sure you have more than 500 MB free space on internal sdcard.
8. Flash initial kernel "CM-GalaxyS-Kernel-initial.tar" as PDA via odin (no pit, no repartition).
9. Reboot into Recovery
10. Do a Nandroid Backup. Choose "Backup and Restore", then "Backup". It's very important!
11. Go back and do a factory reset / data wipe. It's really necessary otherwise your phone won't boot.
12. Choose "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard", choose CyanogenMod and apply it! This will take some time!
13. After this your phone should boot. Don't touch it for a few minutes (4-5), it has a lot to do.
14. OPTIONAL: Enable Wifi, reboot to recovery and flash Google Addon (choose "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> "gappsXXX"). Reboot!
15. Setting up your google account can take some minutes. After this you should enable Wifi immediately!

Addons

BRAND NEW JK6 modem (for da speedz)
Thanks to scrizz, he was nice enought to pull out the JK6 modem from the latest released samsung code and I just flashed it and am getting WAY faster network speeds. You can get it from his thread here. Just flash thru CWM and reboot. Let it sit a few minutes and reboot again just to be safe. (I noticed weird hangups and after the second boot it was better)

Eugene Kernel 13 CWM (OC/UV tweaked)
~ Scaling tweaks
~ Battery Drain Tweaks
~ OC / UV
~ 1.12GHz OC
~ 100MHz to 400MHZ voltage drop is -50 / 800 to 1.12 is -25

~ Kernel Panic's Fixed
~ Wake issue's Fixed

Installed it last night and Initial thoughts... AWESOME. Granted yes this is still very beta and buggy. Other than that, flash went smooth and have only noticed a few things.

Noticed Issues
Cyanogen Issue Tracker

1. Haptic feedback doesnt work outa the box
2. Installed better kb for kb haptic feedback, but the 4 btns on the bottom still dont have it.
3. Fixed with Eugenes Beta3 kernel You have to install the toggle headset widget and set it at every boot
4. Fixed with Eugenes Beta3 kernel Seems the Home and Back buttons act the same sometimes. (Hit home and it goes back)
5. Havent heard 1 issue about this on the vibrant My buddy on the captivate noticed on his that every call the hearing got worse for the person on the other side, and the other person had a hard time understanding him
6. Disreguard Angry Birds and a select few other apps causes an acore FC, followed by a "stopped unexpectedly" FC
7. Camera display is B/W but it does take color pics
8. Fixed WirelessAP doesnt work (fixed per codeworkx twitter) Use wifi Tether pre_15

Battery Test

After a fresh Cyan install, and the JK6 modem, I wiped the battery stats and let it go overnight with minor texting(in 3g and HSDPA)
13hours 31min and it died

COOL feature, Somehow, the apps I had installed before were pushed from Obsidian v5 and now to Cyanogen. I didn't reinstall them but they are still there. lol

Other than that all the gApps work, texting, fbook, phone (except for the talking issue I mentioned earlier which I havent tested on the vibrant yet), tweetdeck

VERY smooth and I think ill be on it from here on out.

Enjoy.

I dont think so since I was mid-flash when I saw the tweet from samFirmware about the release. lol

Most certainly not. AFAIK, much of the point of any CM build is that it built from the AOSP source.

I havent seen a CM6 thread after searching. I might be wrong but I made sure to look. If its a dupe sry :/

I was able to make calls right after I flashed, worked fine, you just have to make sure you have the Toggle headset enabled so it doesnt think theres a headset in there.

Yea I wasn't sure I never tested it just read something but couldn't remember but yea think its what you mentioned
