Ok so i am a lil confused. i just flashed the bionix 1.8 rom and i tried out media hub purchased a rental but it will not let me play it back? has anyone else had this problem or is there something i am doing wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
wait adb will not work to reboot if he cannot give su permissions cause screen is off, and if this is his first time then it will not work at all.

When you first use adb it asks for su permission on your phone.

Correct me if im wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
ADB will still work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
This is a good point, however, I have used adb to reboot my phone but have never given it SU permission. I keep waiting for the prompt to pop up, but it never comes. Than again, All I have ever been able to do is get it to reboot the phone. I am on Win 7 64 bit, don't know if that makes a difference. Luckily I am not hardware locked so I have never had to extensively use ADB. Only dabbled in it a bit just to try and figure it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
There is a way to consistently get into dl mode with a hardware locked vibrant. Eugene373 figured out a way, you may have to ask him or do a search in the forum, i think he mentioned it in his franking twiz thread, but not sure, and there are a lot of pages.

If memory serves I believe it is this:

Remove batt

plug in usb cable

hold pwr (or vol buttons or all?)

replace batt

or hold vol buttons only then plug in usb cable

all of these are while phone is off, obviously

it is something like that, try a couple combos, im sure that is how he figured it out.

Edit: this is the youtube link showing you how to get into dl mode with a hardware locked vibrant, i believe.....

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
ADB will still work, but SU may not if he hasn't given adb su permission yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
I'll give it a whirl man - I should have tried that when I disabled Voodoo. Thanks for the tip.
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804305
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
i use it a lot, cause i now find it easier to reboot into whatever mode then doing it from the phone.

do you type su before the reboot command? Maybe you dont need su, but my phone would not let me without accepting it, maybe you did the first time and forgot, you only need to accept it once, thats why it works for most people because at some point or other they needed to use adb, but if you used adb to root in the first place then you probably wouldnt have to do that. But even in terminal emulator you need to allow su permissions
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
If it's the same procedure I use it goes like this:

1 - Power off phone

2 - Remove battery

3 - Plug USB cable into phone

4 - Plug USB cable into computer

5 - Hold down Volume Up; Volume Down; Power

6 - While holding all 3, re-insert battery

7 - Watch the screen, it will have a swirley thing pop up (and possibly the battery briefly), as soon as the screen goes black again, release the power button only.

8 - If you timed it correctly, you should be in download mode.

This may or may not work, may want to try a couple times if you don't get it the first time.
[Vibrant Android Development] DarkAgent:
1.8 is my first Bionix so I dont know if volumr call is better in 1.8 than others but I can vouch the volume level is definetly.lower than stock. So not fixed yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
i thought you needed su to reboot?

in mine i get this:

adb shell

$ reboot download

reboot download

reboot: Operation not permitted

$

Maybe mine is just f'd up :(

but if i type su first, then reboot commands work fine
[Vibrant Android Development] Gusgom:
Well Im trying to install it and it gives me an error when I get to the SDK Manager part a vid would really really help... cause right now im completely lost...Btw i dont have win 7 i got XP...Also the hardware lock is a ***** it wont let me get to anything to re Flash not even with Odin and the whole take out the batt process its just crazy how they locked this down.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I use a similar method:

Remove battery, then re-insert. Launch Odin, (make sure samsung drivers are installed) then hold down volume buttons, and simply plug in the USB cable. Phone should automatically go into download mode, and odin should then show your device on the screen.

1.Launch odin

2.Hold Volume buttons down

3.Plug in USB cable

4.There is no 4 ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
To save you some time, you don't need to install the SDK. Just extract ADB.exe and place it anywhere (the C:\ is the easiest spot)

Once you have the samsung drivers installed you can then open a command prompt and type c:\adb (whatever commands you need) reboot recovery etc
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I dont think that works for hardware locked vibrants, is yours hardware locked?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Yep, I just go to the folder where adb.exe is and then type "adb reboot download". Works perfectly for me, no need for an "su" command.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Try this guys method

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I don't think so, I remember getting into Stock Recovery once via the buttons when I was trying to root. For the life of me though I cannot get back into recovery with the hardware, only download mode now. Download mode is the important one anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
Thank you! Works beautifully. Sadly I need to wait for voodoo 5.

Also. Volume buttons are reversed. And home button won't unlock.

Question do i need internet access my internet is really bad where im at...when i click on the Adb.exe the black screen pops up for a quick second then is gone...could that be cause I need Internet access or Im i missing something?
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
Mediahub does not recognize your custom ROM so it will not work. It's a DRM thing.

JI6 update is quieter by design. Try this: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-automod-jmiC.aspx
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
No, you don't...if you're willing to do the work. See the OP for the Froyo-no-brick method of going back to stock. You can flash Voodoo after you do that. I know this because it worked for me, and I have the larger NAND as well. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
Ok I thought the same thing try this go into menu>settings>sound and display>media volume and make sure that it is turned all the way up, made a substantial difference I beleive Sombionix posted this back.........well hell way back in this thread LOL it grew so fast!

Has anyone else had a problem with the market? Nothing will download. Just says "starting download".

I'm running 1.8 w/ stock kernal

I didn't have this problem with any previous bionix roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] phlacin:
Dang. Any other suggestions? After removing the battery and even blowing on it like a Nintendo game, it's still not charging.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
It's a problem with the Market app. Reboot into recovery and clear your cache. Alternatively, just keep cancelling and restarting until it takes.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
No. You can't just click on adb.exe it wont work.

- Hit Start Button

- Click Run...

- Type cmd

- Navigate to the location you have adb.exe (If you put it on the root C:\ than simply type cd c:\)

- Type adb reboot download, hit enter.

EDIT: I just confirmed this: at the C:\ prompt simply type: adb reboot download

EDIT2: Word to the wise, make sure Odin V1.3 is open already on the computer BEFORE putting your phone into Download mode.

EDIT3: (Sorry, just remembered) I believe in order for ADB to work properly you will also need "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" to be on the C:\ root with "adb.exe" They are in the same tools folder in the sdk package that you got "adb.exe" from.

Took my Vibrant right into DL mode.

Im noticing slowdowns while scrolling through screens using launcherpro but Touchwiz is smooth. With or without widgets and shortcuts
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
+1 follow these steps exactly. It's also important to note that if you didn't install the Samsung Drivers that this will not work.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You're right, you do need SU to reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
K, but I KNOW I have never given ADB SU permission and it just worked for me.

I double checked Superuser app and the only apps that have SU permission are: MetaMorph; ROM Manager; Root Explorer; SetCPU; and Titanium Backup.

I would assume that if I had given ADB SU permissions it would show up there? I could be wrong though.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Nice. I've always had to give su permissions when using su in adb.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Don't go into the shell, just type "adb reboot download"
[Vibrant Android Development] badazyelaboi:
Thanks.... Trying that now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I think that has been my problem before, I always thought you had to go into ADB shell for any commands to work, probably why I could never figure out ADB. I just barely (like literally 5 minutes ago) found out you can simply give ADB commands without shell.
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
QFT...the term "reconditioning" bugs me because that's not what you're doing. Reconditioning is for NiCad and NiMH batteries. Lithium ion batteries don't have memory effect issues and don't need to be reconditioned. What you're doing by "reconditioning" a phone battery is recalibrating the firmware in the device that estimates how much charge is left in the battery. Since every battery has slightly different electrical characteristics this mechanism has to "get to know" your battery. Flashing a new ROM often clears this data from the device and it has to "re-learn" how to read your battery.

I'm getting lockups while playing music. Not sure whats going on. I reflashed twice from basic (via odin) then installing B1.8.

Respectfully, I do not think so. I am having same problem. Market works after reflash. (Consistent over two reflashes now.) I figured out that I am crashing Market when I attempt to restore system data. Problem is that I was too lazy to research exactly which app system data I need to restore to retrieve contacts, messages, pop3 email parameters, home screen layouts, etc. So, I began guessing and restoring system data willy-nilly. You will crash Market for sure if you choose to batch restore all system data from Titanium.

And no, clearing cache from recovery, clearing Dalvik cache, doing "wipe data" from Market app using Titanium, non of this fixes the problem. If you look at your downloads in Market you will see eternal progress bars for all apps that you have attempted to download after the problem occurs. You can delete those by doing "wipe data" on Market app in Titanium, but does not fix problem.

Can someone please tell me if I can re-install a system app using App Installer (to re-install Market) or whether I must reflash to accomplish this? If I can re-install Market using App Installer, do I need to disable Voodoo first?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Think of it this way : When you just use adb and then a command, you are actually running commands from your computer to the phone. When you are in adb shell, it is like you are running commands from the phone. adb shell is pretty much the same as running a command from terminal emulator

hello bionix team,

thank you very much for for work. I had recently wiped from a different custom rom back to JFD then to JI6, ran quadrant got 883. Installed the 1.8 KK OC/UV and got 980. I think I saw people talking about >1000 but maybe that was with the voodoo stuff?

I hope I waited long enough for the 2nd reboot, it says 15minutes but i waited 5 minutes after my lock screen showed up.

Also wanted to mention you should consider changing your OP JFD link to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475 I think it's better.

One last question, is it necessary to have a Data plan to get a GPS lock? I understood that I should not need this at home I have wifi so the google map images should come from wifi, but I can't get a GPS lock. Havn't got it in the JFD or the JI6 stocks I tried before this earlier. Any tips are appreciated :)

Just loaded 1.8 with kk kernel, I thought the low speaker volume was fixed but when I'm on a call I have to push the phone so hard against my ear, I feel I'll accidently shove it inside my ear, before on 1.4 I would not even have the ear piece volume all the way up, is there a fix for this? I literally can't use the phone for phone calls without my bluetooth now.thanks

Also I cant get the market to download, says it's starting but never does anything. I flashed twice, cleared cache, what else can I do?

I've noticed for a while now after a few versions of the rom that the black background in the notification bar pull-down looks like its going to stay.. But titles from like Now Playing notifications and Dropbox updates and other apps aren't visible because they're completely black too.

Is it possible to change the black background to even a dark gray or some lighter shade?

I read somewhere that it was the app developer's responsibility to set a font color that contrasts with whatever the background color is (something like that) so we wouldn't have this issue but it seems that many apps aren't even aware of or are failing to do this :-/
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Did you download the other update to 1.8 that should fix this issue? I don't have any problems.

I have a small request, if I may.

The previous build of Bionix (1.7) allowed me to turn off 3G data in the settings, in 1.8 I haven't found a way to do that. My battery doesn't usually last a full day when 3G is on all the time, is there anyway you can put that functionality back in, or have it be an option in a separate Bionix build (much like what you do now with stock kernel, voodoo kernel, etc)?

[Vibrant Android Development] winhwah:
Have you tried to reflash? It will solve a lot of the issues. Truthfully I didn't encounter any volume pb at all. Just watched a movie via Media Hub and the volume was very loud and same thing for the phone call.

I get a lot of freeze ups particularly on incoming calls. Screen freezes and it continuously vibrates until I reboot. Very frustrating bug
[Vibrant Android Development] Generic112:
I'm pretty sure the option is still there under mobile networks. However, I believe its changed to choosing either GSM or WCDMA (Which I believe is 2G or 3G, respectively).

And if you meant that you want to turn data off entirely, a lot of widgets/apps on the market will do that (I believe SwitchPro has that toggle).

What difference does it make? If your cell radio is on, "they" can already locate you (roughly) via cell tower triangulation.

I just did a test and I did not need 2g/3g to get a gps fix, wifi worked just fine. I also tried turning off "Use wireless networks" and I also got a fix, although it took considerably longer. Of course, I don't know if the results would change if I rebooted and did a cold start.
