I have never turned off voodoo. Is it better off. I wouldn't think it would be.

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
[Vibrant Android Development] jangst123:
All I know is a few people were able to flash is after truing it off.

Myself included!

The Rom has felt so smooth and fast, I haven't bothered to turn it back on.

If it feels fast and smooth I'm happy and don't care what Quadrant or any other score says.

In a day or so I may turn it on to see what happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Thats great for you, i flashed with voodoo enabled and always have..

Just remember it is not made to mke quads and other benchmarks higher, it allows you to not have to use Sammys crappy choice of file system. It is just so much better than RFS it heavily affects those numbers.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
ok so i flashed the 5.1 Full update last night, only to be riddled with force closes at boot.

i've tried disabling voodoo, fixing permissions.....but to no avail.....help?
[Vibrant Android Development] daohoa:
im using MIUI right now and i want to try simply honey. what r the steps that i have to do to switch to SH 5.1? Please help
[Vibrant Android Development] RobZarzecki:
Check the first page of this section, if you are on miui, I'd follow the directions there regarding wiping, Odin, light version and boot loaders and remember to wait ten minutes after some steps, noted, to allow the files to set up.this takes some time and patience the first time.I followed those directions a few times exactly and have had success. Igood luck and enjoy.
[Vibrant Android Development] daohoa:
can i just go straight to Sh 5.1 from MIUI then install GB bootloader? would that work ?
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
You gotta go to stock then odin sh light boatloaders then install whatever version.. cm7 miui use different partitions
[Vibrant Android Development] chrystal0925:
Id factory reset wipe everything n reflash..

[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Okay I had the boot loop on talon splash screen issue first night trying to install 5.1 from 5.1beta w/talon kernel. I then had the video loop issue when I tried to flash w/lag fix disabled.

I stopped there, I had to flashback to 5.0RC1 and just set up what I needed so I could go to bed, was falling asleep trying to get 5.1 to work.

Next day after work I tried to flash 5.1full and lite again with the same result of boot loop on talon splash screen.

I sat there and thought about it a bit then remembered EB talked about updating su after you load 5.1. So I flashedback to 5.0 again, once it was rebooted I went to the super user app then clicked update su. To my surprise it updated. I rebooted the phone and then rebooted into recovery to flash 5.1 full and presto the damn thing booted up fine.

I don't know if flashing from a bullet kernel played a role but I put my money on the updating of su prior flashing 5.1 stopped the loop.

This is a great ROM EB Keep up the good work.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
I re-downloaded last night but realized i got the full one the first time, which is the one that kept bootlooping on the kernel screen or would finally boot but wouldnt let me slide the screen lock to get into the phone. Second time i just dl'ed the lite version and had no issues whatsoever.

I remember this with 5.0rc1, i couldnt flash the full version but the lite version went without hassle.

I wonder why that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dilinkuint:
Ok guys this is like the ultimate ROM ever! It can't get any better for me.. Specially now that some really good games are coming out and this phone can handle them w/any problems... It's just blazing by....thanks eb and Simone
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I'm gonna try the light one too. I keep getting force closes after flashing full. I don't need all those lockscreens anyway. I use agile lock. If it fails, though, i'm sticking with 5.1 beta 1. It's plenty stable for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
The only thing that upsets me is charging my phone all night.... seeing 100% until I unplug it it and it changes to anything between 88 and 94% . Grrr
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
Is anyone having problems flashing zip files after installing 5.1 full?

Just tried to flash pendo's transparent market and it didn't take.

Is this the talon kernel issue where I need to Odin bullet tar to flash zips?

On a side note, tried to flash EB's matrix pull down and got an error in recovery. Guess I'll wait till EB updates it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Well I flashed from Bullet and was fine.

Only odd thing is after the 15 min reboot I did get a popup about updating Busybox files.

Only other odd thing is I went to change the lockscreen wallpaper and the background didnt change, and also it started the problem where the phone wont wake up for 10-15 secs and when it does, its running media scan and setcpu successful popups as if it just rebooted.

I set to default wallpaper, and that stopped.

Guess I jinxed myself. Sitting on charger, it just lit up and went through the motions like a reboot, media scan, desktop icons temporarily disappeared, setcpu super user permissions granted, etc..

You don't have to use Odin for the kernels. Get he SGS kernel flasher app. nice and quick on the go kernel swapping. I know they mean well with Talon, but I always have a problem with it and have to switch to Bullet after rom flashes.
[Vibrant Android Development] a1cshowoff:
Same here. Trying to flash the sgs2 camera, nogo. Also getting blue clockwork no matter what version of update.zip i use.
[Vibrant Android Development] dfh0410:
Mine used to do the same thing until I turned it completely off and charged it overnight. I think only once did it not stay at 100% when I unplugged it. Maybe I am lucky in that sense. Might be worth a try.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
CWM is blue on this edition of the talon kernel, its a Simply Honey kernel. It is also CWM3 which means edify scripting. That means most things you're used to flashing here on vibrant will not work. You should be getting a message when trying to flash that says something like no longer supported.
[Vibrant Android Development] bush2088:
I switched back to bullet when flashing eb's addons, and then back to talon. Worked like a charm.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
I thought
[Vibrant Android Development] Lo N Slo:
OK it seems to me that the install is not as simple as the OP suggests. Can someone who has successfully flashed to 5.1 FULL please give us a detailed set of instructions. Coming from the ODIN version, I always get boot looped at either the kernel screen in 5.1 light or the video screen from 5.1 FULL. I have a feeling that the Talon kernel may be the issue for first boots.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
once you Odin SH3.8 you will need to goto superuser app and update su. Then you can flash SH5.1 full. Once 5.1 has booted fully reboot go back to superuser and update su again and reboot.

You don't need to disable lagfix in voodoo. I didn't and SH5.1 flashed fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lo N Slo:
OK so from the beginning

1. ODIN 3.8

2. Boot 3.8, update Superuser (does this happen automatically when I open SU?)

3.Flash 5.1 FULL (do I need to flash 5.1 Light in between?)

4. Boot 5.1 and update SU again

5. Reboot

6. Profit

Is that all?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
2. I don't recollect if it automatically updated for me when I opened it. I do know when I updated after install of 5.1 that I went to preferences and clicked on the su binary it started the update process.

3. I didn't flash lite, you should be fine going straight to full, lite

I believe is for those who don't want all the lock screens and apps, it's pretty much bare bones I think. Read back a few pages someone talks about the differences.

All the rest of the steps correct
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You have to manually open SU app and select update.
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
So, I have just installed GB for the first time, coming from Bi-Winning V2...

1. I disabled Voodoo

2. I Odind Simply Honey 3.8

3. Waited 15min, rebooted

4. Updated SU and Rom Manager

5. Flashed CWM in Rom Manager

6. Flashed Simply Honey 5.1

bootloop...

Where can I find the ODIN tar packages for Kernel Flashing?

Sooo, found Bullet JVO at EDT.

Flashed via Odin.

Booted to animation....

...and appears to be stuck there... animation keeps looping.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Odind GB Bootloaders.

Tried Talon SH: Bootloop.

Changed to Bullet JVB: Bootloop.

I am going to try going back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
Went back to stock.

Rooted.

Installed CWM.

Updated Superuser.

Odind 3.8

waited 15min

rebooted

updated SU

used Manager to install 5.1 with Talon

Boot Loop

Odind Bullet JVO...

still boot looping...

what is going on?!?
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
SH5.1 Final

After flashing the final with Talon I flashed bullet so I could use GPS. Now even GPS is not working with bullet like it used too. Bummer
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Mine works fine, 15 second lock 12 ft accuracy :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] l-levit:
Dam it, I wish I would have found this earlier it would have saved me a lot time and a bunch of boot looping and restarts!

It was actually easy!
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
Did everything as stated above...

Still bootlooping with Talon :(

Odind Bullet...

Black Screen... and then bootloop.

I am giving up and reverting to Froyo...
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I have tried everything to get 5.1 full final to boot but with no luck. I did get the light one to boot without voodoo lagfix. 5.0RC1 has by far been the smoothest flash and most stable as well as simply stock. EB is there anyway you could make us an Odin tar package of simply honey 5.1 full? It would be way cleaner and most likely free of bootlooping over cwm flashing. Could you also implement the Aries keylayout fix for talon kernel in it? Pweeez. An Odin package of Simply Stock would be nice also. How hard is it to make an Odin package?
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
I second that...

If we could go straight from STOCK (even if we do the double stock clean-up) to 5.1 via ODIN, that would make me happy too :)

Back to Bi-Winning V2 with my custom orange theme for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
How is the lite version treating you thachosenone?
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
You know, I considered the options, and i'm sticking with 5.1 beta 1 until eb70 releases a jvs 2.3.5 build. it's stable for me, and 5.1 final doesn't really offer anything functionally better in my opinion. I might just create a cwm fishable that includes all his changes from beta 1 to final. I don't really care about the charging animations cause I always gave a spare battery with me.

it's now midnight at 15%, and I unplugged at eleven o'clock, and I haven't even had to use the spare. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
It seems from reading that the problem with bootloops happens when you flash 5.1 w/ talon over bullet kernel. I was running 3.9 w/ bullet 1.2. As someone suggested earlier I flashed talon then flashed 5.1. Butter smooth! Flashed back to bullet because I like GPS. So what can we learn from this. If you are starting fresh after odining 3.8 flash talon then 5.1. If I'm wrong someone please chime in. PS This ROM is worth the hassle!!!

No check this one. Admittedly light use but still. I've never seen 30 hours.
[Vibrant Android Development] jangst123:
Nice! Glad it worked for you!

You may find that the battery life is not quite as good the 2nd or 3nd or cycle.

That is the 1st cycle correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
Although I did NOT manage to get Simply Honey 5.1 to boot up AT ALL, at least there was a positive side effect of the two step "ODIN to Stock" procedure:

For the first time EVER my Bi-Winning V2 is absolutely bug free.

So I did the normal thing and used the search function to try to find an answer, but they weren't very helpful. My problem is that my device looses signal as an incoming call comes through. I want to stay on SH 5.1 without having to flash older versions. Thanks for any answers.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
simply honey

I left it alone too. I have a stable setup except for the lingering problem with the browser fc when using voicesearch. I can even reach more than 191mV after I re-installed the acid tweaks and the new build.prop tweaks. Battery life is much better. I may just lift the browser from one of the older versions to see if it will stop fc'ing when I use voicesearch.:)

Try a modded browser from the i9000 themes and app section. Thats where I got my browser from for JVS 2.3.5!

After ODIN 3.8, I updated SU and flashed Talon ahead of time, Whaaaat is going on here!!!!???!?!? Ive let the animation loop over and over for about 5 minutes now, is it supposed to take awhile first time?
[Vibrant Android Development] jangst123:
Try disabling voodoo then flashing 5.1 again
[Vibrant Android Development] Lo N Slo:
So, after ODIN, update Superuser (BTW which version SHOULD it be, I clicked update and it said checking, but never changed from 2.3.1-ef)

and then disable voodoo in recovery,

then reboot

then flash 5.1 FUll?

EDIT. Voodoo was already disabled, re-ODINd and still no good

Yeah, sometimes its gotta be done. it should be done once in a while to clear out old fragments from old roms,themes,apps and if you switch between ROMs often

This ROM is installed on 2 of my phones, my wife's phone and my phone. I Love it! one of the best ROMS out there. I just wish i could install it on my nexus one! I install all updates on my phone before upgrading my wife's phone because its still in development. It would be nice to upgrade without having to re install all programs but i have found when installing any ROM not just this one its better to do a clean install, no different when install windows on your computer. If that pisses anyone off then don't install a ongoing development ROM! Deal with it! I see a lot of attitude on some posts about the difficulties they run into when install this ROM. No need for attitude! ask a question for a work around for any problem and you will get answers.

Evrything is great and all with this rom... but two things i have a question, or issues with... First Gtalk keeps force closing and i dont know why?...

My end is fine and i even lile how the screen flips to vertical. its a cool touch but the other party says its pixelated now? Im running on wifi as is the other person and never had this problem before. tried swapping to gtalk and it dont work??? :-(

Make sure you have libtalk_jni.so in your system/lib folder. I had this problem too, and that's cause I didn't have this file.
