Ahh, have I mentioned that I'm so glad you'll be working on the Vibrant? :D

Quick couple of questions...

1. Obviously this will run faster than stock Vibrant 2.1, but which launcher did you go with in replacing TouchWiz?

2. Assuming we flash this, would we need to flash back to stock when the time comes for the official 2.2 release? (Assuming you don't release it first)

Thanks Eugene... your work is always appreciated by the Android community! Any chance you could post a screen shot or two of what your screen looks like? ;)
 
Wow!!! this rom is incredible. it might just be that i just flashed it like 7 hours ago but i doubt it. BH_MAN u never seem to fail at makin roms. battery life is also pretty good too its definently worth flashing

So essentially, this is just a faster, bloatware-less version of TouchWiz with some tweaks?

Does it noticeably run faster than stock? If so, I'll probably be checking it out tonight.

Also, BH_MAN mentioned that the iPhone looking launcher was removed. That looks the same in your screen shots. What does that mean?
 
O yeah much faster i havent had a lag and im on 50% battery life from when i flashed it at 8. And im constantly texting using wifi and have a live wallpaper set... i just keep getting astounded every minute by this rom u shood flash this rom

Wow, I'll give it a try. Will report back here.
 
Edited this question as well since I just completed this!

Thanks so much Eugene! This is indeed really fast and lag free, and the best part about this so far is that my GPS is actually spot on. It isn't using as many satellites as I'd like, but the accuracy is less than 20 feet which works for me!

Thanks again!

Yeah I was going to ask you the same thing. It says we need to do it from stock, but I would think he'd make it possible to flash from Vibrant1 to Vibrant4. Maybe he'll come on here and clarify for us. :)
 
Yeah that's wut I'm hoping lol.. it wood make sense that u cood jus update the rom u already have flashed. but i dont have money to buy another vibrant or else i wood jus try it so people can be clarified. I read sum people over at xda just flashed from stock to vibrant4 wit out doin any odin
 
I HATE ODIN!!! its so complicated especially when ur so used to flashing roms through recovery. i need help. when i boot into download mode odin doesnt see my phone but when i turn it on it sees it.. what do i have to do?
