I'm in a MAJOR posting mood today :)

When you say the Market won't work, do you mean the application doesn't launch, or you can't access paid apps or you can't download applications?

It pays to be specific.

You may wanna go into your applications settings and clear out your Market and Download Manager caches to see if that helps also.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Actually, it will wipe everything.

The application folders will remain on your internal SD card of course, but you will need to reinstall the actual programs. Hence the advice of using Titanium or MyBackUp Pro.

You will lose ALL your settings and environmental variables as well of course. Its a new ROM and saves nothing of your current settings and contacts.

If your contacts are not stored on your SIM card, or synced to Facebook, exchange, google or 'something', then those will be wiped out too.

So please save all you hold dear before flashing.

Its always a good idea to back up everything if you can, to be honest....one never knows what could go wrong :)

PS

If you couldn't find anything similar to your question, you may wanna read the OP first post. Cos, y'know...it kinda spells everything out in black and red :)
[Vibrant Android Development] koomphonh:
the gps isn't working for me. it was fine before i flashed it but it's no longer working. is there any solutions?
[Vibrant Android Development] rorycs:
First, thanks so much for the assist!

OK, well failure so far... I copied the Avatar.apk into /system/app and rebooted. Nothing changed... looked for the icon and it does not appear anywhere....

Next Idea?
[Vibrant Android Development] vtvinnie:
Um. The search function has been disabled for a while, and I'm freaking out. I accidentally hit the download option under the Power Menu, and now the screen has been stuck on "Downloading - Do not turn off Target!!" for about 20 minutes now. What am I supposed to do!? What is this Download option for anyway?

Edit: Battery pull to restart worked.

Hi. I have the same issue. I cant use Android Market or any other app on wifi, they all give an error stating Data connection unavailable or similar. Everything is fine on EDGE. Although I can use internet on wifi through my phone browser...

If someone can help, that would be super great... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ionic7:
Tried all of that, and specifics, on 3g open market it shows apps, on wifi open market it says connection error, on wifi i can use brower and everything else just market wont show apps.

Think I figured it out, uninstalled juice defender free version and it seems to have gone away.
[Vibrant Android Development] crtsj:
Does this rom still have the amazing samsung music player... I couldnt live without it haha
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
I flashed the JI6 modem yesterday, and reconditioned the battery, and I still lost almost 40% while sleeping over night, with the cell standby at 59%.

My wifes Vibrant who was right next to mine, only lost 4% of battery over night and her cell standby was 5%, which mine used to be on stock.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Would it be OK to simply comment out or remove the zImage line in the update script to avoid flashing the kernel? I have the Voodoo kernel on there now, and I don't want to risk having to jump through hoops to get it there again with my "larger" NAND chip.

EDIT: That works.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
2 things to try. JI2 modem and/or uninstall Media Hub and stop DRM service. some people say that even with JI6 and Media Hub gone, their battery improved alot
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
My battery life has been terrible since 1.4, right now i have lost 11% battery in less then 1.5 hrs, havent made a single call, wifi, gps, bluetooth, all off, havent played any games, nothing...its also all coming from cell standby
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
I've tried JI2 originally as that came with the rom. I just ended the Media Hub services and we'll see what happens. Losing anywhere from 4 to 9% battery an hour with the phone being idle.

If it doesn't get battery I'll nandroid back to my stock setup... Hopefully my nandroid backup will work. Last time I tried it didn't and the phone just hung.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
blahhhhh... the phone just hangs on the white Vibrant screen now after I did my nandroid backup. it plays the start up sound and thats it.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
That's because a nandroid backup doesn't restore your kernel. You need to flash a kernel too.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Its still compatible with voodoo, you just have to flash it separately. We decided to not offer it in this build because this thread turned into a voodoo support thread which has nothing to do with the rom itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
I was using the stock kernel of Bionix Final, so I figured since nothing was changed, there would be no issues restoring. I will try to figure out how to flash a kernel and then try to get back to stock again. Then maybe try Fusion.

I love this ROM minus the battery issue, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Any and all battery issues really aren't associated with any mods I've done to the rom, its caused by the horrible cell standby issues caused by the modem. I didn't alter or mod the modem at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Good to know. Thanks for your response. :)

Is there a thread/link with the stock kernel so I can get back to my stock nandroid backup?

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Just download the file I attached. Its the stock vibrant kernel that you can simply flash through clockwork. Perform your nandroid backup, then flash this file, then reboot your phone. You should be all set.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Perfect! Thank you! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] b3st0fth3w0rst:
Does anyone know where/how to get the swype keyboard skin from previous releases (1.9.1/1.9/1.8)? I liked the all black style of the previous roms.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
Thank you, but doesn't titanium backup saves backups on the internal ? So that means all the backups by the TU will be wiped as well?

Thanks

I'm running Bionix Final with stock kernal and am on my 3rd day without charging. I do turn off at night but this is seriously good battery!

Cant Shutdown Phone Properly

Since i have installed Bionix Final, i cannot shutdown the phone proerply. When i used to hold the power button for a few seconds, i would get the option for flight mode, shutdown, etc. Now the screen just flashes a few times, and then goes black, and i cant get it back. The keys on the bottom will light up but i have to hold the power button a few seconds for the phone to restart.

Any ideas on how to fix this???

I did install Accurate Battery MOD from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758797&highlight=accurate

but i have had no issues with any version of bionix before final. Any help is appreaciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:

[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Didn't work.. Still hung on the Vibrant screen after playing the music. Oh well! Thanks, though.

Is there anything else I could try?
[Vibrant Android Development] saylas:
The question is not currently about bionix.

I had JFD stock ROM previously and some GPS fixes on it. So once i've flashed Bionix, were those fixes removed or not?

I'm asking that because when I'm getting into GPS setting the SUPL settings are still not set to google.com and besides I really don't like the way it locks satelites. It founds several of them but doesn't lock.

May be I should remove some GPS cache or smth. like this even after flashing another ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] klokom:

Screen goes to idle while calling still exist, its only partially fixed. If i make a call and I don't navigate to other screen besides calling screen, it is fixed. However, if I go to home screen and press lock screen botton, the phone goes into idle mode, can't do anything at all till the person who I am calling hang up or get a noticification such SMS.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
There is no issue with market. Just wait until your phone is fully booted and synced, then try. Myself along with everyone else in this thread have no issues downloading apps from the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
This is a known bug which has been reported SEVERAL times. Its only an issue while using the puzzle lock screen. Use another one if its an issue. Personally, its never been an issue with me because I tent not to navigate out the of dialer and twiddle with my phone while I'm talking to someone.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonjacobmoon:
Lock Screen

Before I installed Bionix, I used the pattern lock screen.

Now that I am using Bionix Final -- and have backed up the apps + all system data -- my only choice is the pattern lock. No big deal. I am fine with it, but I am wondering why I am unable, in the security section, to uncheck the "use pattern lock screen" box.

Searched whole thread and could not find anything answer wise, anyone have a clue why facebook sync is being finickey? I have set it up 4 times now and cannot get it to sync at all, the only possible solution is to try syncing all, but I have alot of people on my facebook that I could care less about having in my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
My Facebook sync works fine, but sometimes it does flake out.

Try unchecking and rechecking the 'sync...' whatever box (contacts/calendar) and see if that helps. Works for me.

If not, you can try reflashing. Inconvenient, I know...but often effective.

I been using bionix roms for a while now and I can say that since 1.1 (when I started using bionix) that whenever aux if plugged in (3.5mm audio to car input) the music player will close out randomly, and this doesn't just happen with the default music player, it happens with doubletwist and tunewiki as well, but does not happen with copilot. Can you please look into this bug? It stops me from using my phone as my music player in the car.

Battery Improvement Recommentations

it has been recommended that i remove media hub to improve battery, but i cant seem to find an uninstall option for this application. also, stopping DRM Service under "DRM Protected Content Storage"?

Thanks

Hi.

There is that google talk service that starts all by itself and keeps on running without even notifying...

What is this service? Why does it start all by itself? How can I prevent it from doing such a thing?

Just to be clear, I am not talking about starting after boot up, it starts randomly...

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
There are many things that will start up randomly. Google talk is a program for free text and voice and android starts it up just to have it ready if you are using it.

Its not harmful and I bother removing it. If I really wanna get rid of it tho, search around on the forums. Its the same process for any rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] far004:
Yeah I know that it is not harmful, that is why I was asking if I can stop from being started, not removed... :)

I have noticed that when this service is running in the background, my battery drains pretty fast... I stopped it and now it is stable for some time...

So not letting it start on its on will be nice, if its possible...

Battery Issues

I apologize if I missed where this has been discussed already.

I love the signal strengh of the JI6 modem, but the battery life is horrible. I flashed Bionix Final that is supposed the have the JI2 modem and my battery life was still horrible. I don't believe it flashed the JI2 modem over the JI6 from Bionix 1.9. So, last night I flashed the JI2 modem and I have been up for 2 hours and my battery is at 100%. I think all is good now.

I think I may have to flash back and forth from JI2 to JI6 depending if I need signal strengh or good battery.

Doesn't on my device.

Plus I'm sure if this was a general issue, people would have already have mentioned it.

Email is pretty much a big deal.

My advice to you is that you repair permissions in Clockwork Recovery and reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] rorycs:
As a part of this post there was this quote:

When I look at the file I see it sets the Max_CPU but where does it set the Min_Cpu? I would like to use this method as it seems that SetCPU does not automatically change the frequency when I reboot or restart even if I have the Boot option checked.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
LOL.

Welcome back.

I have nothing against you and you're free to do as you please.

However, I think you should take a step back and get some perspective.

This here is community of people working (entirely for free, save for the odd donation) to improve on a product that MULTI-BILLION dollar companies have distributed to the public for profit. We pay them lots of money and they still deliver crap products and expect you to be grateful for it.

If there's anyone you should be giving grief, it should be the Samsungs and HTCs of this world, but certainly not a group of individuals determined to make something better just because they know its the right thing to do and then freely share the improvements with others.

This should actually be the rule, instead of the exception that it is.

The world is too cynical and messed up a place as it is already.

Why not try to help build people and their efforts up instead of tear them down?

Maybe I'm just getting sentimental in my old age.

You have to put it in the internal sd and keep it zipped.

Install ROM from SD Card.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Yes, it works in min as well. but you have to remember to change the permissions:

su

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/02overclock

/etc is a symlink to /system/etc, so they both work.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Here's exactly what I did:

adb shell
su
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" >> /etc/init.d/02overclock
echo "echo 1200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" >> /etc/init.d/02overclock
echo "echo 200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq" >> /etc/init.d/02overclock
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/02overclock
reboot

that worked perfectly for me.

[Vibrant Android Development] phlacin:
Has anyone else had trouble getting the phone to mount with any of the ROMs? I love the ROMs themselves, but never had a problem on either my PC or my Mac before putting these on. I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers (for the PC), debugging on, debugging off, rebooting about 238 times. I'm at a loss now and don't know what to do. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Figured it out. I bought a couple cheap microUSB cables to use to transfer to the phone. When I plugged in the one that came with the phone, everything mounted up smoothly. Word.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
What are the USB settings on the phone and do you have WinAMP installed?

Using Mass Storage and no WinAmp. Found that it was the actual micoUSB cable was the culprit.

Switched to this rom from the current 2.2 project, which don't get me wrong I liked, but needs a little refinement. Have been working on reconditioning my battery and all I can say is WOW. Runnin Sombionix final 1.1 with KK kernel, wifi, moderate to heavy call use, internet use, about 45 of google maps use, which locked on in less than 10 sec, and generally using the phone like normal and am now at just over 24hrs 45 min and still have 35% battery left. again WOW!

For some reason there is no rotation on my homescreen. It does rotate when using other apps like browser and video. Is it not supposed to rotate on the home screen?

touchwiz doesn't rotate. if you're using launcherpro or adw (or something else), check the settings.

I too have this same problem of the music player crashing - but over bluetooth - with varying degrees: JACS is about 10-20 seconds (regardless of SetCPU settings), Kingclickss is about 50-60 seconds (after phone goes into dark screen) AND even in Bionix STOCK, but not 100% reproducibly. I see it very frequently as my music player starts up playing over Bluetooth whenever I get into my car. I've tried a lot of different approaches, but I cannot stop the hang - on all versions of the kernel I have tried with stock RFS and Voodoo (most of my testing is without it), and on Kings I even tried EXT2 - same results they all crash or get crashy over time (in the case of Bionix Stock it usually works fine after a fresh boot, but will crash if the phone has been on for many hours.)

On all three versions of Bionix Final I also see random hangs at night (if not plugged in) where the battery is far from dead - but the phone requires a battery-pull or power-switch-hold to startup.

I do not *ever* get the bluetooth audio hang or overnight-sleep hang in stock 2.1 or 2.1/JI6.

It is too bad, because I love Bionix to death (features, interface, battery life), but I also use my phone constantly for work email and I can't be resetting it. I just went through and wiped all to go back to 2.1/JI6 stock and so far it has been running with no lock-ups.

I'm wondering if it is just my particular hardware - a CPU that is sensitive to some subtle battery life change...or it is my usage pattern. I am hoping to find a reproducible crash on 2.1 so that I can warranty through t-mobile to try a different physical unit.
