[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
What I did: Backed up apps using Titanium backup, made a nandroid backup, flashed the bionix1_4_beta_OCUV.zip ROM. Performed one extra reboot.

My report:

1. Bugs

Haven't seen any.

2. Forces closes

None, amazing.

3. Does the GPS work better?

First GPS test took 8 seconds to get several sat locks. Second test took 3 seconds to get the same number of locks. It took me over 5 minutes to get a GPS lock when I first bought this phone.

4. Your opinion on edited framework including colors, notification icons, etc.

I love the black goodness! However, I prefer the black gradient for the notification bar that was present in 1.3, but that's just me. The UI of this ROM is beautiful as is.

5. Does the app drawer appear to have less lag as you open and close it?

Holy cow, yes! I never did like that fly-in/fly-out animation anyway, glad you turned it off.

6. Does unlocking the phone appear to have less lag?

Holy cow, yes! Good job on this.

7. Battery life

Was at 34% after flashing. Was down to 32% 59 minutes after flashing.

8. Please test all three lock screen I've implemented into the settings menu. (glass swipe unlock, puzzle piece unlock, stock android unlock) make sure they work properly.

All lock screens work properly and are fast and responsive. However, the stock android lock screen will unlock upon pressing the menu button as well as sliding the slider. Both methods work, but it seems that "butt dialing" is possible, although unlikely, with the stock android lock screen. I used this lock screen provided from another thread and it had the same "feature". I prefer the puzzle piece lock screen anyway.

9. Do things seems 'snappier' in general.

This ROM is much faster than 1.3.

11. Shut down your phone and check out the new bootdown animation and let me know what you think.

I love the new bootdown animation! And you know I'm gonna grab it and make a new wallpaper :D

12. Anything else I'm forgetting.

Second boot up, after initial boot up, took about 30 seconds.

Home screen switching is fast and fluid.

I'm not seeing any lag in the menus that others have reported.

Build number in settings is reporting "Eclair" whereas 1.3 reported "Bionix". I would prefer to see it report Bionix 1.4 but that's just me.

You've incorporated the segmented green battery icons! No need to flash the battery icon mod now :D

I don't have the SetCPU app and so can't set my low CPU to 200. I'm not seeing any lag at all, no need for a lag fix here.

One thing I have noticed is that the screen dims too much, almost like it wants to go to sleep, when I move into an area with low light. I feel the dimming is a little too dark.

The live wallpapers work great.

I think that the Google search widget could use some black goodness to blend in with the rest of the UI.

Thank you very much for keeping the Samsung keyboard, it's my favorite.

I'm seeing a market update for ROM Manager. Does 1.4 have the newest version?

The home screens and app drawer are so fast and responsive now that I may just stick with it instead of moving to LauncherPro, haven't decided yet.

This ROM is fast!

Dude, I was amazed at the beauty and speed of 1.3, but you've outdone yourself with 1.4. You sure this is a 'beta'? This thing is fast and beautiful and I haven't seen a single problem. I was thinking I could just flash back to 1.3 if I had problems with 1.4 but I am going to stick with this until 1.4 final is released. I'll definitely be buying you some whiskey, your work is greatly appreciated!

Seriously, why can't Samsung do all of this? I think they'd be green with envy if they could see my phone now.
