The View From Space

A couple of days after the Vibrant surgery and the patient is none the worse for wear.  The mod itself is a simple matter of replacing the existing camera unit with the newer one (it’s the same camera except with the ffc attached).  All mounting holes and spaces are still intact from the international version.  The only physical change to the phone is the removal of the paint that is covering the hole.

The last step is to flash an Android 2.2 based ROM.

If you’re interested in the mod see the xda-developers forum at:  http://bit.ly/csbfDN

For a 2.2 based ROM check out the Team Whiskey site at:  http://bit.ly/9ziLXY (ROM called Obsidian) or http://bit.ly/d64XMp (ROM called Onyx).  There’s also some 2.2 based ROM’s on the xda site (a little searching will uncover them).

Here’s a few pics of the procedure.
