Can some please help me, I installed Bionix 1.9 on my Bell Vibrant. I have searched everywhere on this thread and online. I would keep this rom but I cant not get the sound to work. So I decided to go back to stock, but for some reason whenever I plug my phone in either to my computer or the wall, it turns off then just replays through the battery icon over and over again. I could really use some help here.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Read my post again. I know it has all for lock screens. I don't want to flash over again because I just set up 1.9 right before...instead I just want to push the necessary files from 1.9.1 to 1.9 for the lock screen and settings.

Odin is a program you run on your PC. It interfaces with your phone when your phone is in Download mode. Here is a link:

All those that say 1.91 is working great.what were you running previously? did you revert to stock? Had stock? Or an earlier bionx?
[Vibrant Android Development] opiomorph:
I've done that already, and confirmed that there is an update.zip in my /sdcard/ directory. The error message states that it can't read the file in /cache/update.zip, and there isn't an update.zip in that directory.

Can you get it into download mode? hold down both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable while its attached to your PC, don't bother with the power button the phone.

[Vibrant Android Development] mohammad33:
Hi yes I dont have a problem in getting into the download screen. But I downloaded the original firmware from samfirmware, but since I cant connect my phone to my computer I am unable to use Kies.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
To answer your question, I have not done a whole lot as I have spent most of my time reading before I have done anything. It's always good to know how shallow the water is before you dive in.

1. From original stock, I one-click rooted my vibrant on a pc.

2. I installed Rom Manager and used it to set up clockworks recovery.

3. Backed up ROM with clockworks.

4. Got Titanium Backup and backed up my apps

5. Flashed Bionix 1.7 w/ Jac's Kernel w/ voodoo

6. Set up SetCPU (free to xda members)

7. Flashed Uninstall Voodoo file (IMPORTANT)

8. Flashed Bionix 1.8 w/KingKlick Kernel

9. Flashed Bionix 1.9.1 w/KingKlick Kernel

10. Smiled again!

I also used Rom Manager to install ROMs from SD card and chose the option to delete system data using Clockworks Recovery.

So far, I have not had major issues. I still haven't gotten quick locks with the gps, and after every flash I have done the steps to condition the ROM for the battery, but haven't seen much improvement there. Phone is still fast, and since I don't have a data plan and I don't use really heavy, I get two days before it needs a charge. Going to try the GPS with 1.9.1 now and see what happens. :D

Is there FFC support in the 1.9 Kings Kernel build? get an error about the camera preview not could not be started, please try again.

i will try the froyo build in a bit, just wondering if you put that in this build

open alogcat and clear

open mirror, get error

open alogcat and save

Is that the correct procedure or would you like some info filtered out?

Confirmed FFC working on R3 Froyo build

Confirmed FFC working on 1.8 with JAC kernel no voodo

Confirmed FFC working on 1.9 with JAC kernel, no voodoo

is it as simple as replacing the cameral file? <--- that doesn't work
[Vibrant Android Development] opiomorph:
A thought occurs. Can I not just get the update.zip that someone else who is able to run ClockworkMod successfully has in their /cache/ directory and stick it in my /cache/ directory to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Sombionix you must be a superhuman to be busting out these roms left and right. I'll be sure to send some Wiskey money your way when I get funds.

I just flashed 1.9 a couple hours ago after going back to stock kernel. I'm currently updating to 1.9.1 cuz I love the puzzle lock screens.

I can't wait till you get your FFC and start messing with it to see how you can get it working flawlessly with your great ROMs. I still need to order one.

I was getting horrible battery life before and so I decided to flash to the stock kernel and then update to the stock JI6 kernel and then flashed 1.9 and it worked great and have great battery life compared to before. Hopefully when I flash right over it'll stay the same.

Followed the above and got the value 16005464064, which means I don't have the larger nand, I believe. I installed the Voodoo kernel and my quad score is 947, people are reporting 1500 and above.

What am I missing? Should I wait for beta 5 of Voodoo, but I don't believe that applies to me.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Quadrant scores have little to do with real world use. I wouldn't worry about them too much.

@ sombionix

What launcher will Bionix Fusion be using?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Issues I had with previous builds and my gps/compass are gone. I fired up the gps the first time (with wifi turned off) and it took about 3-5 minutes to lock 3 birds. Turned gps off and waited a few minutes. Turned gps back on (with wifi on this time) and gps locked 5 birds in like 5 nano seconds (exaggeration of course). This thing is rock solid as far as I'm concerned.

Put those page dots back to normal so I can use them as shortcuts and I will consider that the cherry on top. ;) J/K This thing is sick!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
The above post makes a key point. Of course people do not always (or even usually) know whether a bug lies in the ROM, the kernel, or in a lagfix such as Voodoo. The devs often don't know that either before looking into it. That is the nature of software modules that interact so tightly.

The reason that this thread is so enormouslypopular (8800+ posts!) goes way beyond the popularity of the Bionix ROMs, which would make the thread long enough in their own right. The popularity of the thread is precisely that it considers all types of problems and parses them out so that the community can find out the nature of a particular problem and whether it is ROM-related, kernel-related, and/or Voodoo-related. And note that ordinary, non-dev ROM mod'ers reports (sometimes insistent reports) can result in a dev's changing his stance and fixing a problem.

It is the one-stop shopping nature of this thread that makes it so popular and valuable to the community.

I can find no other thread on xda-Vibrant that is so comprehensive in this regard. And, it should be noted, this is only possible because the devs and those with higher expertise are consuming major resources in answering the questions.

So, if someone would like to create a new thread called "The King's New Clothes," as has been previously suggested, go right ahead. But I don't think that you will find many people hanging out there; because such thread will have little utility.

And, if the moderators would like to cease the great service to the community that this thread serves, just close the thread or stop answering questions. The length of this thread and all the "stuff" in it are a good thing.

Which version of Bionix 1.9 did you install?
[Vibrant Android Development] importbeats:
...I had same thing happen. Which means, you don't have Voodoo yet. You gotta do the workaround, flash Froyo no brick, then stock, then Bionix.

Search the thread for instructions. (Start with page 1)
[Vibrant Android Development] PepeLasNoches:
Not being able to connect it to your PC will be a big problem, ODIN sounds like it's what's going to be needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] mohammad33:
I have tried all of them, but for some reason the Stock one will not work. Is this all because of Voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!

The problem is that some posts say to check "re-partition" for stock flash and some versions of the instructions do not specifically instruct whether or not to re-partition for the stock flash. If the instructions are silent on this, most people will not check the box. I did not, and it worked fine.

Thank you very much for your work on those, they're beautiful :D
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
No problem, I just ported them over to the Vibrant. Im so used to them now that I CANT use a build w/o them (or I will just end up porting them over to that build lol :p)

Anyways, seeing some great work over here. Glad to see this build taken off. Thanks sombionix!:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Thanks to all involved! :)

After trying all three, I've settled on Bionix 1.3 w/ KK + ext2 lag fix + green circle battery mod.

Going forward, I'd like to see the following post install, add-on clockwork flashable zips:

1) One that replaces the bootup / shutdown with the screens, animation and sounds of the i9000. While this can be done manually, I haven't seen it available as a one off flashable zip that's also compatible with the ext2 lag fix, etc.

2) One that mimics the leaked JI2 rom battery notification instead of the popup dialog.

Agree / Disagree? Have other suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Few questions. I perused the thread and couldn't find the answers....

1) Does this have the JI2 GPS files, or just the lbstestmode fix? I'm not clear on that one... If not, can I flash the files here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782242

2) Also, does it have the new JI2 modem? Although some people report lower throughput, I find that throughput isn't my issue but rather getting 3G at all, which it does better with the new files. If I already had JI2 on the phone, would flashing Bionix replace the modem files also?

3) If I'm going to flash the "stock look" do I still need to use the JI2 battery mods or would the normal Vibrant battery mods work?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] smutek:
Re: That question - I was wondering the same thing and wasn't sure if I was supposed to flash the JI2 zip as well. On re-reading the OP I noticed the JI2 fix was mentioned as being included in one of the earlier builds so I assumed it would be included inthis build as well.

After flashing Bionix 1.3 / Kings I tested my GPS and, after disabling wireless networks, am now locking on to between 4-7 sats with accuracy to 50 ft. or so.

No need to flash anything else.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, this does have the JI2 GPS files and lsbtestmode fix already installed. I did no include the JI2 modem because there were a lot of mixed reports about it, many of them bad. I decided to stick with the old modem.bin.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
Hey sombionix, Ill have a video up for 1.3 later tonight (i usually upload them late at night)

Keep u p the good work! I'm keeping this one installed for awhile!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Thanks Chididdy! Its nice having someone do a video review and yours are great! Thanks, I really do appreciate it, helps get the word out on these roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] aeson:
Here's my battery status so far with v1.3 voodoo and stock clock. I have been using it moderately/heavy through out the day: facebook on and off, four 10-15 min calls, around 20 texts, google talk on and off, used maps just once to find a place (gps worked like a charm!), watched 2 videos on youtube (both 3 min long), played fruit ninja for 30 min, xda app and web browsing on and off, checked emails, and finally used dropbox to download 3 word documents. So thats about 11Hrs with 5% left. Tomorrow i will try v1.3 with KK and see how that goes. Thanks again sombionix for this wonderful ROM! :D

Oh yea i love the domo wallpaper haha my weather widget matches so perfectly with this...

Just flashed the rom...everything is great so far. Great job on this.

I'm still having one issue though that's bugging me. The GPS still seems like it does not work for me. Flashed the rom, reboot, reboot...and GPS still doesn't find me. It keeps telling me Location Unavailable in Google Maps. Any ideas?

you happen to have Wifi on when your trying that? Wifi makes a lock difficult. Also try and go into lbstestmode and change to MS BASED mode. Only do the MS Based if even with wifi off your not getting a lock...
[Vibrant Android Development] shuka325:
I am running the version with voodoo now, but if i wanted to try to try the KingKlick kernel and put in the ext2 lag fix can i use terminal emulator or do i have to use the cmd on the computer?
[Vibrant Android Development] InvisibleHero:
1.3 w/ kings kernal

I am currently running the 1.3 stock ROM. If I wanted to flash 1.3 w/ kings kernal, can I flash this on top of 1.3 stock or do I have to flash back to the Vibrant stock ROM. Thanks for the help.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
I used terminal since I was away from the computer but it worked great the first time I tried. You will need to ignore the "adb shell" command if you choose to use terminal. Otherwise, just use ADB on any computer you have it installed on. Lastly, the line "mkdir /data/data1" seemed redundant but perhaps it's just me.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I think you will be good to flash on top of what you got now.

Not 100% sure, but I know I would. Im a little braver than most though. Im not too worried about bricking. Even if I did, meh, replacement no time flat..
[Vibrant Android Development] gunked:

Saweet work. I dont think I have seen any phone this fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] Cammarratta:
Could someone possibly upload the kingklick version somewhere other than mediafire. It won't let me download saying that I don't have permission. And when I went to the download from androidspin it said the file was removed! :0

thanks in advance. Loving the rom. :)

A Quadrant score below 1500 means that you either DO NOT have Voodoo installed or you have it disabled.See: http://project-voodoo.org/

Going back to stock...

Quick question: This would be my first time flashing an android device~~little nervous...if I install this ROM and don't like it, or because of issues, can I just ODIN back to tmobile stock everything without any problems? I'm having a hard time resisting the temptetion to flash....

Anyone have any tips for battery issues? I have had great luck with these roms, but 1.8 is a battery hog for me. I just want to start with some of tips instead of going back to 1.4.

So far i have done the battery rest and reflashed the rom. Are there any common programs that I should look to remove before going with the old rom?

For measurement sake, I went from 100% to 40% between 7am and 3pm with 3 hours of that being the phone sitting in a locker at work not bring used. I just want to try and get this rom doing battery as well as it does everything else because it rocks!

Looking forward to your tips.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Thanks! I did read that post before, however I was still not sure of the general consensus of weather this was a safe practice over all and that is why I wondered about restoring system data at all. As stated in that post, there were a couple things incorrect in the titanium app as far as which ones you should or should not backup and restore after a ROM flash. I think I will just stick to the safe side of redoing my settings after a flash manually. I have had good luck so far. I don't want to break a good thing.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
okay so im happy but kinda scared becuz i just flashed 191 and it booted up in seconds wasnt the first boot supposed to take a while?? just wondering im happy to see how fast it is but idk if this is correct start up lol will update after im FULLY done which means after letting it sit and rebooting just to make sure everything is in its right place and love the halloween wallpaper as well
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
Forgot to mention that my battery usage said the 32% of the use of the battery was standby. Seems like it is having a problem finding signal when not in use, but my job is in an area with 4 bars.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
I'm going to flash KK, then I'll try Jacs with voodoo. Sound like a good plan? Or do you think I should just go with the voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] TunedFish:
If you're nervous (or careful), you can be prepared by getting froyo that doesn't brick and the stock rom. Look at the "bible."
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Best practice for conditioning ROM for the Battery?

Is it to

1. delete the batt stats after flashing w/ full battery (before rebooting)

2. reboot

3. drain completely

4. charge competely

or is it just the same to

1. flash

2. reboot

3. charge the phone to full

4. in recovery mode delete batt stats

5. reboot

6. drain completely

7. recharge completely?

I have done the latter as that seems to be how it is written in OP. However, a later post said to do it the former way. I didn't see much difference in the battery with the way I did it. Thought I would get some advice before I do it again now that I have 1.9.1. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
I was having the same issue I flashed my back twice using Odin in the vibrant Bible there's a link for fastest way to flash stock I used those directions and found the pit file in the mirrors, mirrors post and then I rooted the phone then I installed rom manager loaded the vibrant software download 9.1.1 and bame installed from SD now my phone is running sexy, I had a soft brick BC of bad files apparently on the op 1.9

I forgot to tell u I delete what clockwork files where there be 4 I download it again from the market
