Voodoo Question and GPS

Still running SH 5.0 and everything still running fine!

However, Ive noticed one thing that is bugging me, and that is I don't seem to have any sound controls when I plug in my ear buds, like I did with SH 1.0

Meaning in the past it would pop up immediately with the Voodoo controls, and I could slide the amplifier over to the right for max volume, and of course tweak the mixer and any other aspects If I needed to.

Now Ive read that Voodoo 9 controls are supposed to be integrated in this ROM, [SH 5.0] But I don't see it anywhere in my apps, or anything for that matter pertaining to Voodoo controls anywhere on the phone.

So why does it NOT appear like it used too, when the ear buds are plugged in with SH 5.0 ??

Did I have a faulty install, or do I add or flash a [VooDoo Install] to fix this? I really need the amp to work again when I'm pulling loads, because my Largecar's pretty loud, and I have difficulty hearing my clients or travel agents!

And yes I'm still running the Bullet kernel that came with this ROM

Also while I'm here, Is there any other flash/fix I can do to get the GPS, to re-acquire the birds, if it loses lock for a few seconds, other than rebooting the phone?

Once it loses the birds for even a few seconds, you'll see that it still says 11 to 12 birds in view, but it wont re-acquire W/O a reboot.

I was aware of this slight problem concerning this ROM before I installed it, but I thought as long as you didn't turn the GPS OFF, it would stay good to go!! but apparently NOT!! :confused:

Sadly...... I'm about to give this phone to my mother and get the galaxy 4g..... I will still be participating with this thread as my girlfriend still will have the vibrant. However..... Due to unstable abilities of this rom.... Gps mainly... I'm probably going to try something else before I give it to her. Unless someone can tell me if they know how to fix it. Backward buttons I can't fix unless I have root explorer and I won't buy it because they won't bill my account for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
As far as you leaving I am sad to hear that. As far as GPS, I have heard that Miui has had some success with gps on some of the later versions. I know for sure it is more stable with GPS than CM7, but how "stable' since vibrants as a whole are problematic in this area.

The ROM instabilities, I have not seen many instabilities that are there, I mean there are a few, but there are much worse ROM's. I hope that we can all find our vibrants getting the true source code so that the things like GPS and such are fixed. Hope you find what you are looking for.

And the person who is wondering about the voodoo controls, you have to download the voodoo control program from Marketplace, then if you are using a kernel which support it then you are able to change the settings. The latest kernel that was released has voodoo v10 sound and color built in, all you need is the controlling software. Hope that helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

I doubt that I can any much to this since I lack the proper terminology, but I can describe my experience. When I flashed the Talon kernel, the extra voodoo controls for color automatically began to show up. Before that it was my understanding that color options were only available on Mui and CM7. Point is, I didn't have to update or download any other versions of voodoo. As far as the sound options go, I believe, but am not sure, that older verions of voodoo gave full sound options whether your earbuds had two or three rings. The third ring is for earbuds that have a microphone. Some time back I noticed that my earbuds that only have two rings don't get the full voodoo controls while those with three do. Of course, I could be wrong, but just sayin'.:)

More problems.

A lot of my games get stuck. Like they are playing off of a CD, and that CD has a scratch. They'll sit there and "skip" for a few seconds and then the phone will reboot.

Some of the games are brand new installs from the market, and some of them are old ones I had before the ROM install.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

Came back to post that I'm 100% wrong on that point, lol. Sorry.:eek:

Is the app on internal or external sd?

Try moving the app to the opposite SD card

[Vibrant Android Development] Majin_X:
I have no problems with this ROM, I love it actually but my mom wants a better phone and well...... I love my mum... so I'm giving her this one and moving on to a new challenge... which is why I've decided in the last 30 minutes that I'm probably going to get the HTC SENSATION. But anyways as the OP states... this rom is for expert users... not for moms. Lol but I'm pretty confident that the only problem this rom has right now is the GPS issue. I might back up to froyo before I give it to her... I just don't want the headaches of her asking questions like some of the noobs that ended up in here. " how come when I charge it overnight, the battery isn't full?.... how come the GPS doesn't work?.... BLAH BLAH BLAH..."
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah definitely and much respect. I don't even have my girlfriend on this or any other GB just for those reasons, in fact she's still using Axura since last year.
[Vibrant Android Development] draigons:
What are your plans for the future EB? Moving up, out or staying put?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Well finances dictate that I keep this phone most likely until tax time if not longer. Wanted to upgrade soon but just got hit with car repairs so no SGS2 or Hercules or whatever for me.

Voodoo and GPS

Quote from: RaymondP JR "To the guy who had problems of the slider not showing up when plugging in his headphones, maybe play around with the sound settings."

Well Of course Ive tried that already, but its amplification for loudness isn't even close or as clear as Voodoo, and thus why I'm seeking voodoo back, just not understanding why its not present when its designed into this ROM!

Quote from: Draigons "And the person who is wondering about the voodoo controls, you have to download the voodoo control program from Marketplace, then if you are using a kernel which support it then you are able to change the settings. The latest kernel that was released has voodoo v10 sound and color built in, all you need is the controlling software. Hope that helps."

Well that's why I'm getting my answers lined up here, I don't want to change the Bullet kernel that powers this ROM, because it runs it so well, So I'm interpreting your answer as that, All I'm really needing is the controller which is the app, because Voodoo's already on this ROM, but I will never be able to access Voodoo, until the controlling SW is installed!!

Quote from Chystal0925 "Also if anyone is having GPS issues with bullet I used a fix from ultimate roms thread it has held for me get a lock in seconds.. took it a little like a day to work but worth a try "

You see I don't have a locking problem, It detects and traps up to 11 or 12 birds within 20 sec's initially!! But if I move the phone to take a call or whatever, when I'm finished, and mount it back on the dash Holder, It wont lock back in to the satellites its detecting, until I reboot the phone again, even though it see's the birds!

So this fix from ultimate ROM thread, your suggesting, Does it take care of the re-booting issue, because that's my main and only issue at this moment with GPS on this ROM, the NON- Re-locking of the birds, even though its still saying, Hey there's 11+ birds in view!!

Just don't like having to re-Boot every time, GOD forbid, If it loses LOS for just a moment or if I have to take a phone call.

Anyway Ill look for the app, unless someone here , knows where the Voodoo controller is, and advises which way to install it, I'm gonna stick with the Bullet kernel, because its stable for this ROM

And do I check for compatibility with the Bullet Kernel, using MD5 CheckSum list B 4 installing any Voodoo apk, or does it not matter??

And if there's no fixing this, I may have to downgrade back to SH 1.0 which had 0 defects with GPS!!

Which would be regrettable, as I love the SH 5.0!!

But business is business, and I gotta have a rock solid working phone/Tool, otherwise it will cause too many problems and revenue for the future!

Anyway, thanks to all who replied! :confused::rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The voodoo control app is free in the market. I honestly don't remember any controls just automatically popping up.
[Vibrant Android Development] dseldown:
Voodoo and GPS

OK well the app took care of the Voodoo controls, wish I had known it was an app all along! In 1.0 it kinda took care of everything by itself. I thought it was just part of the kernel, but I wont make that mistaken assumption again! Anyway when I was running SH 1.0 every time I plugged my ear buds in, it would pop up to let me slide the amp over to the right, it was really convenient and handy, Why it did this on SH 1.0 IDK. but anyway I have good telephony on my phone now.

So that leaves me with the very last issue and that's the GPS, only locking once after a Boot, On SH 1.0 the GPS worked awesome, I could lose lock and it would reacquire no matter how many times it lost it, but for what ever reason, 5.0 seems to have this weird problem, the GPS works great, as long as you don't lose signal for a moment, otherwise you gotta re-boot again!

So I'm waiting for a solid answer as to any other GPS installs that are working well with this ROM, before I tear it apart again. I'm really gun shy :eek: after what I did to the other phone while attempting the up-grade from 1.0 to 5.0.

So anyway again EB thanks for your support! Still love this ROM, were so close to getting it 100% stable and fully functional!!
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
I tried navigation on mine today and called my phone answered and the only prob I had was the other line could hear when it spoke directions but I hung up and it was still locked so seems fine to me.. but it could be to that the other phone was right next to me.. but maybe its built that way to talk even tho ur on a call idk I don't use it ever..
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
I think I actually read it on another gingerbread rom forum where the dev offered both versions.

I could be retarded and misunderstanding but I thought I read that since it's backwards at boot... you could toggle it once it boots, and from then on it would auto detect?

Let me see if I can find the link and see what you all think.

Sorry I can't find it. Oh well, I'm probably just dumb and was misunderstanding. But there was 2 roms offered, one with the headset fix like yours, and one where it is backwards at boot... I'm not sure why he'd of offered it that way if it didn't work?

Also is there any way to add to settings in the development section the "stay awake when charging" thing?
[Vibrant Android Development] erez213:
What do you mean by:

Can not see recovery. Use CWM app or method of changing kernel to flash anything.

Can I access the recovery through the Key Combo?

BTW, when does the Hebrew Fix will be released?

Thx man
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Exactly what it says you can not see recovery. You can use CWM app to flash things that are CWM3 compatiable or you can use sgs kernel flasher and flash a 2.2 kernel then use three buttons to get to recovery and flash what you need to then you'll need to flash a gingerbread kernel to get back.

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
And I don't appreciate edt user poping into my thread stating that they have a fully working rom. You want to tell the world about it then great go to the general section and start a thread about it. I've been working at this for a month now and sharing with the community. Anyone can download this rom and pick it apart or just sit on the sidelines and watch it develop and get better until you have all the info you need. Where do you think the got the headset fix? Go back about 20 or 30 pages and you'll see a user posted a link. Did a dev step up and offer to help? No! They kept their work locked down to drive and get donations which is really charging people.

Ok I'm done. I've kept that in for a month now. I've reached out to people for help or suggestions only to be ignored yet everyday I hear how great EDT and TW are. Give them a donation they'll let you in.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamez243:
I still want this rom just with their headset fix. They should share.
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
You did and still have been doing a great job mate. But every team have their own way of operating, you should know that by now. Certainly the way you posted all your work here for everyone to benefit from shows how helpful you really are and your mentality in helping this community but that doesn't mean the other teams are bad or greedy as you might have suggested. They always give 2-3 weeks beta versions before hand for their donators which is their right and totally fair IMO.

Im not one of their donators by the way, Im just saying. I appreciate all what you've done here and other roms of yours that I had the privilege of running and hope you continue doing so in whatever way you decide upon, just don't quit on us :)

It is a public thread link though.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
First let me apologize for my rant. I will not delete it as I do believe pats of what I said do hold water. I have always tried to address everyone in a semi professional manner and it just really rubbed me the wrong way to have someone who's name I've never seen pop in and promote someone else's work.

They could have opened a "public" thread here on xda if that's what they wanted, it aint that difficult you know...

[Vibrant Android Development] iwapu:
If things are like what you advised, I'd suggest they'd better not open that link to someone like me or serach engine either.

Please stop guessing what they would be thinking. If EDT team would really like me to remove that link, just let me know.

That wasn't addressed at you and its unfortunate that it was your comment that put me off when it was 2 other users, one here and one on edt site both of whom I've never seen here, that it truly was directed at.

Re: Whats going on

Hi Simone,

I think the only thing holding most SH'ers back is the lack of GPS with the Talon Kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] cdchris12:
I just flashed the new T5s kernel. It's definitely snappier than the old Bullet kernel. GPS is also most definitely broken. Angry GPS shows that it's not even downloading the AGPS data. Now to figure out how to fix this Voodoo color issue...

Anybody here not getting a data signal? I have no apns and I'm connected to T-Mobile but no data signal for me.

EXACTLY as the tut says (i went from jfd to simply honey.)

My biggest consurn right now is no data, everything else is perfect on this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] buckshotfacelift:
Both free games and paid ones.

Asphalt6 HD (paid), Nova2 (Paid), coins vs aliens (free), angry birds (free). Happens with airplane mode on and off.

Honey 5.1, talon kernel.

It happens when overclocked, and when not overclocked. Governors set to on demand.

None of these problems were on 5.0.

Angry birds locked up and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot, I was back to square one. Lost pages of 3-star completed levels.

Add: Heavy gunner, coins vs zombies... Probably more

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I don't remember where the thread is maybe general but the must see modem info. It'll probably be the same results. Also if I'm not mistaken some of the feedback about modems I've seen this last year would indicate that different modems perform different in different areas. Generally speaking though the kb5 seems to perform best for most people.

He's probably putting together a new build surrounding that talon kernel.
