issues going from 4.2.2 to this rom using Odin.

I had same issue described here with robotic voice re: not enough space http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2193526

but fixed by going to stock first using Odin then install CW recovery then bionix fishmon v4.zip.

so far love the rom! miss some features of newer 4.x android but fun to go old school for a while.

Try to install the AOSP MM apk from the TW forums,

You can take a visit to the TW forums here and checkout thread "Shorty's File Locker". Shorty keeps some nice selected files such as the "AOSP MMS" you can try that and give it a shot.

There was a thread over at the original release from sombionix where they had users who were experiencing the same issues that you were as well. It could have been a known bug and it would be hard to tackle the actual post because there were over 1 million viewers and almost as much posts.

Try to install the AOSP MM apk from the TW forums, if that does not work, then when in doubt, Odin back to stock.

Please keep us posted on the out come. If you do chose to Odin, please back up everthing, Alright! :rolleyes:

Hi guys, is there a way to turn of soft-keys backlight during use, i use my phone a lot at night and the bright 4soft keys hurt my eyes. I tried Screen Filter, NStools but they don't work
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Such as Launcher Pro.

fishman0919, nice and smooth....

Having to reinstall the apps from the market. Such as Launcher Pro. There is a free one and a paid version. sombionix did release one of his roms with this launcher and it is very smooth, hands down the best and most configurable launcher, you have to check it out.

Other possible additions would be the WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta11 that can be found here

Shorty also keeps the WiFi Calling apk posted here , which is just a wish list add on, but trust me when you are in a sub basement class for 4 hours and can not make a local call, having this app makes the world of difference.

Well that is enough of the wish list, I will come back tomorrow and post an updated commit on ver 3.

Thanks for keeping this rom alive!
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Yes, LauncherPro is awesome and love it myself but I went with the modded TW4 Launcher (you have to try it)... to go more so with the original Bionix theme (a GB and Twiz Launcher)

WIFI calling and tethering are things I install also. But I wanted to keep this as close to the original as possible, just more up to date... I may do an add-on package with all the goodies included when I return or just go crazy and do one last all out Bionix V Ultra Edition... Who knows.

further questions

Hello again.

I am convinced that this MOD is worth trying out. But I have a question, do I really have to wipe data/factory reset over an existing Bionix 1.3.1 ROM? It's time consuming to restore it from PC backups...

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
only take seconds to dial and a min to format.

Dial this secrete code that will work on the said samsung rom, it is faster than any other method.

Note that this is called a hard factory reset and will erase everything.

After you dial this secrete code, you will be able to start from scratch.

*2767*3855#

and it will only take seconds to dial and a min to format.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Thanks Woodrube, It is nice to be recognized.

Lets just say that I love this rom and the android platform.

flashing over existing bionix 1.3.1

Thanks for the reply serendipityguy! However, you misunderstand me. I wanted to backup all my data (sms, contacts, photos, video...) to a PC... then flash this ROM. Restoring my data from the PC takes like 30 mins per partition. That is why I am asking if I can flash it over an existing Bionix 1.3.1 ROM without having to wipe data.

I have wiped data before, to my regret. I lost all my photos, ebooks, etc. Everything! It changed to 0-byte files that cannot be opened.

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
This Rom will wipe upon install, pretty much, even if you don't. So any previous rom is going to get junked... Photos and videos will not be touched and will remain on your internal and external SD

SMS's can be backed up with any number of apps from the market... as well, contracts can and should be saved to your Google account. So no matter what android phone/rom you use, they can be retrieve when you sign in.

No I wouldn't recommend installing this directly over the org Bionic without do a "wipe data/factory reset" because it's gonna, try to, wipe and could cause just all sorts of whatever

I flashed V3 over bionix1.3.2 without the factory reset and my home button didn't function. Happened twice. I'm guessing this is because I completely and foolishly disobeyed the instructions in the OP, or do you think something else is going on? Thanks for your reply Fishman.

No issues, not at all V3 is styling just fine, from my day to day use Im rocking this puppy just fine.

I am not taking photos or shooting videos, my day to day use typically are GPS and Phone & Emails and this rom with the Enhancements do function as advertised. Great battery and Great data speeds.

Great Job fishman0919!

No issues here. I have taken pictures, sent emails, texts, used GPS. Pretty much everything other than take video.

This ROM is doing great!

KAK and Supercharger

I am on original Bionix 1.3.1, Bali 1.8.8 kernel and on KAK and Supercharger.

My question is, if I flash this ROM, can I run the KAK and Supercharger script too? Or I won't need it anymore? I don't have to reflash the Bali kernel, correct?

Thanks.;)
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Yes - you can run both scripts

No - there is no need to any more with Juwe11 Ram Manager app

Correct - this room will install Bali 1.8.8UV. Same performance as Bali 1.8.8, with better battery life

I'm heading back to v1 of the mod. Adding to my inability to get the MIUI camera working, my wifi on v3 is just not holding an association with two different APs I have.

But otherwise, this is outstanding and gives the ROM new legs. It's still the best overall and is even better now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wesie:
Hi,

I'm searching in this moment a nice Rom, where all things are working, the battery works longer as 10h (~2,5h in active use, rest in standby with WLan traffic)

Now I've flash your ROM. First findings:

* No Headset icon, if a headset is conntect

* Settings/language&Textinput/Gingerbread/Input language : Crash of com.android.inputmethod.latain)

* the icon in the settings are not colored :( It'S look better with the color icons ..)
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
I do believe Wesie the colors of the icons,

I do believe Wesie the colors of the icons, those were part of the theme that was on the rom. There are plenty of themes to download from the vibrant bible thread.

The Headset Icon, I dont think that was part of Froyo but then again I may be wrong.

Cheers!
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
The headset icon is not part of Froyo 2.2/2.2.1/2.2.2

That an issue with the Gingerbread keyboard I can't do anything about... Maybe replace it with the stock Samsung

The."the no color icons in settings" is part of the Bionix theme

Sorry I'm so short with my answers, but I'm on the road looking for the right exit... Vacations are supposed to be fun

Exactly why so many people stick to Bionix despite it being and outdated version of android. It just works. There are little features here and there but nothing to sway me from a fast phone with working gps that gets 30 hours a charge!

[Vibrant Android Development] guacamoly:
Since the question is was pertaining to why bionix and other similar 2.2 roms for the vibrant seem enough and trivialize the need to move to sketchy/hacky 2.3 roms ... all we really need to check if the 2.3 features are real game changers or not.

Android v2.3 On 6 December 2010, the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) SDK was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.35. Changes included:

- Updated user interface design with increased simplicity and speed

the tweaked roms are fast enough. interface changes aren't substantial

- Support for extra-large screen sizes and resolutions (WXGA and higher)

irrelevant

- Native support for SIP VoIP internet telephony

i'm not sure but 3rd party apps can do this?

- Faster, more intuitive text input in virtual keyboard, with improved accuracy, better suggested text and voice input mode

3rd party keyboards make up for it. I use swype beta

- Enhanced copy/paste functionality, allowing users to select a word by press-hold, copy, and paste

this would be nice... I don't know how much of a game changer it is though. how much copy pasting do you even do on your phone?

- Support for Near Field Communication (NFC), allowing the user to read an NFC tag embedded in a poster, sticker, or advertisement

irrelevant. no nfc chip

- New audio effects such as reverb, equalization, headphone virtualization, and bass boost

3rd party players can do this

- New Download Manager, giving users easy access to any file downloaded from the browser, email, or another application

meh

- Support for multiple cameras on the device, including a front-facing camera, if available

those of us who have hacked our phones and installed a ffc already have the software to use it... irrelevant for the rest

- Support for WebM/VP8 video playback, and AAC audio encoding

i've never needed this. even so.. 3rd party players can play most downloaded clips.

- Improved power management with a more active role in managing apps that are keeping the device awake for too long

bionix and other 2.2 roms have amazing power management. much better than even the most tweaked out 2.3 roms

- Enhanced support for native code development

not really sure what this means for the end user

- Switched from YAFFS to ext4 on newer devices

i'm not an expert but don't all our custom 2.2 roms already do this?

- Audio, graphical, and input enhancements for game developers

games work fine on 2.2.

- Concurrent garbage collection for increased performance

i guess this could improve performance.. but the tweaked roms have already been optimized and they work well

- Native support for more sensors (such as gyroscopes and barometers)

irrelevant

So as far as i can see it.. there really is no reason to upgrade to a 2.3 rom when what you get is very little for a lot many more headaches...

2.3 roms... : gps is always sketchy, 911 probably doesn't work. battery life is horrible (unless you have apps like juicedefender.. which change the way you have to use your phones... i didn't like it at all)

2.2 roms work well, are reliable and are fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] mksin11:
Totally agree. I've tried so many roms and I always come.hack to bionix. Its just so stable and so tweaked. It doesny even bother me that its 2.2

Yeah, the changelog makes it look like impressive changes have been made, but guacamoly's analysis is what I've been looking for. By the way, that user name rules.

Make sure you back it up with Google ,Titanium Backup or 3rd party app from the market.
