Hopefully later tonight (late). I fixed all the bugs but I'm doing more testing for the remainder of the day to make sure EVERYTHING is smoothed out. I'm also playing with optimal compression levels for best speed and stability.

Sweet, I was just gonna flash 1.7, so I'll hold off until 1.8.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
I have two email accounts that I access on my phone, one is Exchange, the other IMAPS. I just tried a reply on each of the two accounts using the built-in email application, and no problems with either one.

I'm running 1.7 Voodoo JI2.

Hope that helps...
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
That is what I thought...I drained the battery last night, and will re-condition it later today. I got 11.5 hours of standby yesterday which is the worst it has ever been. I figured (since the original update said "1.7 JI6 etc.) I was running ji6 and wanted to drop back to ji2, but it appears I do not need to.

Ah well, we shall see once it charges up.

Request -

Would someone consider maybe adding to the OP, or to the site, a short blurb regarding the importance of logcats and a short "how to" (or link to relevant reading) on ways to generate an effective logcat? Ideally ways to do this with both adb and an app like a.logcat. (or whatever is best) would be great.

I posted one yesterday but not sure if I did it right. Used a.logcat app, verbose mode with no filters. Not sure if this was the most effective way, if my logcat included the right material, or even if it included too much material. The resulting file was plain text with a lot of stuff I did not understand.

This way, with relevant reading and more knowledge, maybe more folks would post them and Jesus would stop hating puppies.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
What was your logcat in reference to?
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
Woke up this morning for school and I had my battery at 100% I have 3 homescreens running Launcher Pro and 2 widgets one is the weather widget that was was included in the ROM, it refreshes every 6 hours, the other is the facebook widget from LP Pro that refreshes every 3 hours. between the hour to to hour and a half it took me to arrive at school i sent 4 text messages and I was on a call with my girlfriend for 2 minutes and 38 seconds. I have GPS off and brightness set to lowest. I've followed the recalibration instructions to the T twice. After all this I was on 86% battery life. so my question is WTF is whoring up my battery? I love this ROM is smooth fast and I appreciate the hard work that Sombionix and the rest of Team Whiskey have put into this project but I honestly don't understand what is going on here. I went from totally stock rom to bionix 1.5 and I did not have this problem. What happened from 1.5 to 1.7 that is just draining me so much? I don't know what I should do now, i'm thinking about flashing 1.6 on the JI2 modem to see if it helps out then post some feedback. Please don't take this the wrong way I'm merely trying to point out my dissapointment with this version in particular previous version of Bionix have been amazing and Viralblack's contribution to the community are a godsend. If any one has some incite into what I should try to remedy this then I am all ears.
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
This one might be too much to ask. On the other hand, Sombionix may have already thought of this. But would it be possible to have the update script check to see if Voodoo is running before the update starts? I haven't made the mistake of flashing with Voodoo running, but we see it a lot in here when people do. With all the flashing going on here, it's just a matter of time before most of us have done it accidentally at least once.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Are you currently using the JI6 or JI2 modem?
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
I'm on JI6. I'm downloading JI2 as we speak so I can test out the baterry issues. I'm running OC/UV/Voodoo version.
[Vibrant Android Development] miikey_:
Pandora

Running 1.7/JI6/OC/Voodo (not OC'd though).

Pandora will play for ~10 seconds then freeze causing a reboot from long press on power button.

Anyone else report this problem? Can this be addressed in 1.8? Recommendations?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Well, as stated quiet a few times in the thread, the JI6 modem seems to have some standby issues which causes more battery drain which is why I've included modem options in the OP and explained the differences.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
This has been reported (maybe 101 times). Its fixed in 1.8.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jaynrb:
Pandora froze after playing for a few seconds..... ( 102... HELL YEAH ) lol :D
[Vibrant Android Development] sajche:
This just saved my butt!!!

Didn't remove Voodoo fix before next ROM install. . . yes. . stupid mistake.

the "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out." saved my day!!

Thanks to all that take the time to do all the hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
Woo hoo!!! Finally I wont be plague by this bug!
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
This is why I'm trying out the JI2 modem. I wasn't trying to insult your work in anyway, and from reading the forum the past couple of days it's pretty obvious that Samsung screwed us once again with this modem. It's obvious that JI6 has some deep issues. BTW, as far as 1.8 goes will there be JI6 and JI2 options? and also if I make one small request if it would be possible to take some of the Samsung widgets and move them to the regular android widgets section? Like that program monitor I think it's awesome. And I'm sure it goes without saying that if you can destroy TW then please NUKE the hell out of it. coming from an iPhone, TW's faux-iPhone interface is an insult.

PS. I see some Whiskey money coming your way the next couple of days. get yourself something pretty maybe some Blue Label. I don't know how much it costs in Utah but in Miami it goes for about $400 bucks.
[Vibrant Android Development] smutek:
Hi there,

It was in reference to Pandora freezing the entire system after upgrading from 1.4 / kings to 1.7 / jacs -- flashing back back to 1.4 / kings did not solve the problem, (no voodoo on any of the previous listed flashes) then flashed to 1.4 / stock and no longer have the issue.

I wasn't sure if it somehow related to the problems other folks were having with audio, maybe something to do with how the kernals handle audio output - so I thought it worth mentioning.

Pandora would freeze the entire system forcing me to reboot about 15 to 30 seconds into playing back audio. Adjusting the media volume would cause the freeze immediately.

Here's the initial post with logcat if you are interested.

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8555949#post8555949

A couple of others confirmed the same behavior with Pandora, Master and one other I believe.

I hope this helps in some way, and thanks for all of the hard work.

I reconditioned my battery yesterday as I decided to try out JI2 to see if it would be better than JI6 for me (was having great results with JI6, don't know how/why).

I have been unplugged from any power source since 10pm last night and the battery stats page is showing that I have been unplugged for only 5 hours 53 minutes. It's been double that.

Not sure if it's an overall bug, but wanted to point it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] smutek:
Gratzi, I missed that bit.
[Vibrant Android Development] miclflores:
I was thinking of doing this also, but was wondering if I would need to recondition my battery again. Just finished doing it with 1.7 stock/JI6, but heard JI2 has better battery life. Thanks for the help.

Bionix 1.7

Hi all,

Long time lurker and new to the Android dev side of things...

I downloaded and flashed the Bionix 1.7 OC/UV without Voodoo and I love it! Afterwards, I found more information on Voodoo at:

sites.google.com/site/projectbionix/installation-guide

So, I decided to install the 1.7 OC/UV with Voodoo. I thought it worked but I went to adb shell and typed mount and I got a whole block of text with the following:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

I don't think Voodoo was installed. I also went into the Voodoo folder on my Vibrant and the logs say my phone is not supported.

How do I get on the Voodoo version of Bionix 1.7? What am I doing wrong? I followed the installation guide closely.

Thanks,

slowroll
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:

No one read's the thread, they just see the title and go, "Hey, I should post my problem, because I am the only one that has it, so no need to search. I can just say what it is too, they will know how to fix it"

[Vibrant Android Development] :
"Hey I'm new , too lazy to search, and I want an answer NOW!!!"

That pretty much sums up what this thread has turned into ....
[Vibrant Android Development] vgz01:
Sounds like you and I are in the same (bigger-NAND) boat. This should be fixed in Voodoo Beta 5, which will hopefully be coming out soon. You can verify that you have the larger NAND and therefore can't use the current Beta 4 by following the directions in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8322865&postcount=131
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
I think the tags on this thread should be enough convincing for anyone to try this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
There is new evidence that the larger NAND chip has nothing to do with whether or not you can use Voodoo. There is a post earlier that shows how to enable it on the larger NAND chips, and multiple users that have it working on the larger NAND chip. Search ftw.
[Vibrant Android Development] vitality:
Will 1.8 include the fix for the larger NAND chip?
[Vibrant Android Development] offensive:
Sadly that makes 3 of us. Is there any danger leaving the Voodoo kernel flashed if we do have that larger NAND?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Agreed, but alas people just install voodoo and expect it to work, no research, no reading, not even a basic understanding of WTH they are doing and expect those that do know to hold their hands till they get it fixed ....

Being a n00b is not a bad thing, being a LAZY n00b is!!

Anyone else running into this on 1.7 j12?

tnx

Yes I believe I got that same problem to when I flash the j12.. But then I went to settings and fix it from there to a 1 minute time out and it worked perfect.. I now have the j16 and no problem here :)

slowroll, lol love the user name, hey man just follow the instructions in the larger nand voodoo thread. It works every time. Why? We don't know, LOL.... But it does.... I also have it posted in my sig. sombionix doesnt know it yet but he is responsible for this find as he is the one who told me to try the froyo/stock flash method and it worked to allow voodoo and Linda to do its thing on my larger 416MB nand.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805222

There was really nothing to fix in the first place. Until we get more info Im not sure if beta5 will fix the issue since a simple flashing of another rom seems to fix it already. But Im all for beta5, and hope its included in 1.8 and 1.9.

Nope, no danger at all. It just wont transform your data partition into ext4, it will stay rfs. No harm done.

And its posted in my sig as well.

Well I for one am interested now to see if beta5 enables everyone to use voodoo without this fix. Still though I would love to know why it was claimed that the larger nand was the problem for beta4 when in fact it works just fine on it, albeit with a little extra work. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
LOL. I saw, I think it was engadget, referring to the OTA as J16. I laughed pretty hard at that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Sombie, Viral, Master.

Not sure if it's possible, but have you guys looked at the browser included in CM6 to see if you can make it work with this rom? The CM6 browser has the option to invert the colors on websites, so it's black on white text. This would save a LOT of power.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Absolutely you can, if you have already fully charged your phone and reset bat stats, you can now completely drain it until it shuts off on its own, in fact this is very important to do. BUT, you should NOT charge your phone when you are trying to drain it, lol... Are you needing to use the USB cable for transferring files or something? Can you try wifi instead maybe? You need to drain your phone fully to the point it shuts down for a real battery recondition status, this is the only way to really teach your new rom how your battery functions...
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:

[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
I am coming from the Blackberry world (yeah I know, lol) and I must say their forums are WAY more organized. Every single new rom gets a new thread for it mandatory. The dev just simply copies his OP over to the new thread and makes the minor changes to reflect his new rom. That method is absolutely brilliant compared to this horrid method. At least each thread wont get to large and every question is about the rom posted in the OP. I would donate a 3rd time just for that alone......

EDIT: And btw, I was talking about the Crackberry forums. lol

[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I was seriously thinking that earlier. Its hard to read through 700pages and not knowing where each version stoped and another started.

Maybe 1.8 can have its own and then in that thread there could be a link to say 1.7?
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Actually, I DO read the threads. I was also on a conference call at the time and unable to provide a logcat.

Thank goodness for the Internet.

[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
You know, that's easy to say. I personally am trying to get a company ready to go to war. I'm gone for weekend training, and there's 200 more pages of "it's 5am here!" or "I can't wait until 1.6, 1.7, etc comes out!" or "Me too!" posts. I'm sorry if I don't have time to wade through the BS.

That being said, before I posted (about 10 pages back) a simple question about a problem I'm having in AppBrain, I spent 30 minutes trying to search to see if anybody had encountered it before. I went to sombionix' website (team whiskey, I think it was called), and the "known issues" area has only two items in it, and IIRC neither were addressed in this thread.

I remembered that somebody had had a problem with the Market and that somebody had posted a process for fixing it, but I couldn't find that in the search, either.

So, before you go on shouting about how we idiots need to go search the thread, remember that some of us have lives, and that we DO try to do our due diligence.

If you think you're so smart, come enlist in my Signal company. I'm a few slots short and heading out to Afghanistan. If this stuff is so easy for you, you shouldn't have any trouble manning one of my Army tactical satellite systems.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
I've always thought it'd be cleaner and more sensible that way. Oh well... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
This worked for me. I have a larger NAND, but after going through this process I was able to enable Voodoo.

Something that isn't mentioned anywhere that I can see here is that going through this process wipes your unlock codes off of the phone. So, if you think that you will ever want your unlock codes, you should probably use the Samsung Unlocker app from the Market prior to doing the Odin thang.

Wish I'd known that prior, now I have to get the unlock code from T-Mobile when I deploy. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Asked many pages back work no response.. Will you be putting the wcdma only option back in this new rom?

Now you are getting personal I did my tour in Bosnia, so don't be trying to insult my service to my country, and you are right I sure I would not have too much trouble with the tactical satellite system, but that is because I read or would read and learn it before I jumped in head first.

IF you are one that searches and does due diligence then you should not have even been worried about my post because it did not apply to you, and you should just feel sorry or annoyed at those who don't just like some of us are ..

Battery Reconditioning:

1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power for roughly 10 hours.

2. Boot into recovery

3. Wipe battery stats

4. Reboot

5. Remove power cable

6. Drain that sucker all the way (yes you can use it to do what ever, text, email, phone etc but you must drain it till it dies)

7. Recharge fully

8. Rejoice!"
