So the search feature is currently disabled in this forum and I"m having a strange issue.

By default, the halloween wallpaper is selected. Well I want to try another wallpaper, but only live wallpapers are working. I'll find one in the wallpaper gallery, press set wallpaper, and it goes back to the home screen.... with Jack Skellington still holding a pumpkin in my face. =P

The Live wallpapers work just fine, but any standard image wallpaper just flat out doesn't work.

I'm using 1.8 Voodoo and literally just flashed it. Holy **** this is fast, and I LOVE it! That's the only issue I"m having.
[Vibrant Android Development] FlipnKraut:
So no one should ever post bugs or issues? Check. Got it :rolleyes:

Here's some information for you. If more than one person can reproduce an issue consistently, its a problem.

I'm not ungrateful for the ROM, I love it actually. But if no one ever posts a problem they are having nothing will get fixed because the developer doesn't know that there is an issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] PepeLasNoches:
I wouldn't use whats backed up, unless its a lagfix used thats mentioned in the OP that's ok to be flashed over.

If you're doing the whole larger NAND chip fix process, then make sure to back up everything to your PC. It will wipe the phone clean, which I found out the hard way.
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
yup it worked like a charm. Before u do it move all your stuffs to computer. Its going to wipe out everything including your SD card

Select the wallpaper you want and accept it. Then when you go back and see the pumpkin simply reboot your phone. When you come back it should be changed.

Great ROM, The SMS/MMS works well, I have no issues with video and Pandora radio also works well for me. One interesting observation that I wanted to know if anyone else is seeing this….

I changed my network settings to only 3G (my personal preference) After I made the change I am no longer getting 3G service, I am also not getting edge service. LOL Now it says I am only getting 4G service. JI2 Modem I will be flashing the JI6 modem soon.

Can anyone post that bionix wallpaper that says bionix and has a sort of turquoise halo. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Guticb:
Fixed! Thanks, man!

And this is why I love the Android community! I never got such amazing help with the iOS guys. Every question was met by a "Well why do you want to do THAT?". >_>
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
My data connection is working and working great. My speedtest.net download is 5500 and 1300 upload. But I have never even seen H before and now it says 4G. Is that change in the MOD or is this a change on Tmobile's side or something else?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
It's one thing to post a bug and discuss it with the developer. It's an entirely different thing to argue with the developer. Common sense dictates that we all use that which works best for our situation. If the OTA works best, great.. use it. If the leaked works best, great.. use it.

If the ROM is working as advertised, does it really matter if the ROM includes OTA or leaked files?

I think part of the problem is that some folks feel the need to prove they are right, and that really has no bearing on anything except that person's self esteem.

Is anyone having trouble with their auto rotate? The only way I can get into landscape mode is to open the camera app and then back out, but when I do, the screen locks in landscape. Curious little bug, no?

I think the common mistake people are doing is, when following Bionix's steps

when creating the Voodoo folder, They are creating the folder on their external micro sd-card and not the internal sdcard. I made the same mistake myself the 1st time around. becuase when I tryied to disable-lagfix the 1st time i did just that, If you installed the voodoo lagfix, the Voodoo folder is allready created in the sdcard so all you have to do is copy the disable-lagfix file to the folder. and to re-enable you just

delete the disable-lagfix file from that folder. I know in Bionix's instruction he said sdcard but people are just putting the file in the 'sd' folder. This is one of the main reason why some of the guys on here cant seem to disable their lag fix, and endup bricking their phone, if Bionix added 'Internal sdcard' to the how to disable lagfix on the OP, this should make it more clear.

sorry to post another GPS question, but what settings were you guys using to get the accurate GPS numbers? The stock settings (www.spirent-lcs.com and 7275) or supl.google.com and 7276 as someone mentioned earlier in this thread?
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Thank you for clarifying that 1.8 is based upon the leaked JI6, Som. Having followed this thread pretty carefully, I can say with some assurance that this is the first unambiguous clarification. Other responses, such as "yes, this is the full version..." did not answer the question.

The binaries also appear to be identical, assuming that the leaked and OTA sets of binaries are as posted at samfirmware.com. I do not trust MD5s, so ran SHA-256 on both sets of four files each set. Identical.

Thank you, Team Whiskey, for your outstanding effort.

Bruce
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Right. The whole Samsung "dual SD card" thing resulting in the need to add "internal" or "external" is beyond confusing for a lay person.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Ditto here.

Edit: Note that this is not a complaint about GPS accuracy per se, and it **just might** be a hint as to a bug/fix. It is pretty clear from GPS Status that GPS signal acquisition and position fixes are excellent. Mine match Som's, more or less. The problem appears as jitter in the position arrow overlay onto maps. It could be related to the interface between GPS position and the map applications. It is as though a position coordinate is being randomly rounded off or a least-significant bit dropped in a register, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I think after a flash everyone should do a hard reset, coming from windows that's what we did when we flashed to basically fix any weird issues...

Flash and factory reset after every flash and weird issues giys away....

Battery is insanely awesome on this. Gps is the fastest I've ever saw on this device.....

No issues...... Y'all need to hard reset first before *****ing...

Soooo, flash rom, find bugs, hard reset, still bugs reflash...

Or. Flash and hard reset right away, then if issues persist then reflash.....

But hard reset is the way to go to fox any weird issues that arise from flashing like no 3g when on wcdma only.... HAARD RESETTTT AFTER EVERY FLASH..

freezing issues

if i browse the web while pandora is playing my phone freezes (i was browsing XDA forums) and requires a long press on power button to restart (i was also using aux. input in my car to play pandora).

is this problem specific to my phone or are others having the same issue? thanks.

Bricked: Phone--Exclamation Point--PC

What is this: three icons: Phone--Exclamation Point--PC?

This is what I get when I try to reboot, even after I remove the battery for a while

..

It all started with flashing to stock JI2, then flashing Voodoo Bionix 1.8, then deleting the "disable voodoo" file on the sd and rebooting.

At first I just got the black screen, couldn't get Odin to work -- it keep saying 0 complete, 1 error. At one point the screen showed a large yellow "Downloading" triangle i've seen on the international Galaxy S, but when I tried to flash, it got stuck on cache in Odin and then the above three icons appeared.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] tq745:
your phone isn't bricked...it's just stuck on download mode...

i had the same problem also with it getting stuck on cache in Odin.

What you need to do to fix this is reboot your computer and press F8, go down to disable driver signature and select it. then you should be able to Odin your phone back to stock. hopefully this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Its amazing how far this rom and community have come. I personally have loved every Bionix rom that has come out, its simply beautiful.

[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
yep. Read the OP. all of the links are there. Read under the section "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out." That should do the trick.
[Vibrant Android Development] nerdrum:
is the sms still skinned? 1.7 is perfect for me so far but i really hate how boring looking the sms is. Any way of upping the stock APK?
[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
wow. it never ceases to amaze me how spoiled people can act sometimes. So, uh, mom, dad, this xbox360, it's just something you bought? Like at a store? Not complaining or anything, but you didn't like MAKE any components right? Just walked into Walmart, put some cash down and bought it? Yeah, maybe I'll play with it later. Just making sure it's nothing I haven't seen before... ; )

Well, maybe the comparison isn't perfect, but GEEZ the guy put a lot of time and energy putting it together and is sharing with the community. He described it for what it is. Just say thanks and move along. fwiw. My 2 cents.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, I apologize, however, I did have somewhat of a disclaimer regarding the voodoo lag fix as it is only beta1. I suppose I should have made the disclaimer larger. For the time being, I've removed the download link to the voodoo rom until Jac releases beta 3. The other two roms should be running smooth, though. Again, please report any bugs and I'll look into them asap.
[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
Yes. Black is MONEY on the vibrant especially because of the battery issues. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Your basically out those nandroid backups now. In order to get the clockwork back you have to format the sd cards as I mentioned, then place a file on the internal of your sd cards root folder called "disable-lagfix" with no extensions on the end (like.zip or.txt) and them you'll have clockwork. Not much good it will do you then unless you have a nandroid on your computer and even then for now it looks as though your stuck with that kernel as it has changed the file system to ext4 instead of rfs and now partitioned your internal memory differently then stock and odin can't even get it back..... Yet.... Like I said you have some reading to do, the guys have been trouble shooting this in the originating thread since is release...

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No worries. I don't believe he was trying to be rude. This rom is what it is, though. I did decide to keep TW integrated, I actually happen to like it unlike a lot of people. I think this phone is fast enough that it doesn't cause much lag at all. Also, unfortunately due to my OCD, I kept things fairly simple and clean, although I do plan to make many more changes to the framework. There are a lot of tweaks aside from the looks, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
What happened with my Internal Memory?

Anyone else see the internal memory drop from the hefty almost 2GBs to under 700MBs with just a few apps (less than 15, none very big. Maps is biggest at over 8MBs)? Does the ROM itself take up that space?

Otherwise, all is working just fine. Didn't do the voodoo version, just the JAC kernel with the lag fix.

-thanks for any thoughts on the matter. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] JessJames:
Thanks for chipping in and helping out man.

OK that doesn't sound too warm and fuzzy.

But I do have a nandroid on my PC... it's a few days old, but nothing too catastrophic.

So here's the thing... You say I now can't replace my kernel, even if I get nandroid restored ? What does this mean for me ?

Is there a run down on the restoration process, to save me reading a huge thread ?

OK so I'm cool with ROM flashing, but anything beyond that I've never really experimented with, so advanced recovery processes, and I'm a little inexperienced.

Any constructive advice appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
What a feakin troll you are? Totally asked so I can know what to expect, meant no, none, zero, disrespect regardless of what you think I intended. In fact I specifically mentioned that to avoid any misinterpretation of what my comment intended and your troll ass still had nothing constructive to ad to the thread but instead this to say about my post just so you can jump on someone else about what they commented.

Please look at my post history better yet my pm box , BETTER YET the multiple post I most likely made while your troll self was getting all sweaty and exited about how witty you'd think you'd sound tearing this dood poopypants a new one, all I ever do is try to better inform myself on what exactly I'm dling/flashing and in turn share the knowledge I've found with others.

Thanks for pissing allover this thread with your stink attitude, why don't you take a second to reread something first before you jump on someone like that and just keep your grubby mitts off the keyboard.

[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
also read the originating thread for this kernel from JAC...

sadly not all our vibrants can handle the overclock using stock voltage and until hes done working on porting a real no bug voodoo for us i doubt we will see any other OC kernels coming that may have the voltage increase needed to support the OC....

im in this very boat for now and have to wait for my replacement to see (hopefully) if i can overclock that processor.

youll want to just flash the standard versiion of this ROM in the meantime to get rid of the freezing.
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
Thanks for the tip
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Very good point. I'm going to put a disclaimer regarding this. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
essentially it doesnt mean a thing... your sitting on the very best kernel available right now (even though flashing it does have its bugs if the right precautions arent taken, ie pc nandroid backup) but basically just keep the kernel now and after you get your "nandroid on" delete the file you created called "disable-lagfix" so you can have the speed boost back.... there will be new Voodoo versions, less buggy, overclocked, undervolted (to save battery) JAC interpretations VERY soon hopefully that should just flash right over the one you already have... so just enjoy it for now.

....I just dont think they have the exact method figured out (without bugs) for reverting back to the stock kernel for now... Odin is tricky regarding this partition thing...

Pretty much just create that file i told you after you format the internal memory.... (or dl the file to place on the root of your sd since JAC provided one in his OP here)... get into clock work after you have replaced your nandroid in the clockwork mod folder (basically will have to have that in your backup too or at least dl rom manager, reflash clockwork, THEN place nandroidbackup you have in the nandroid folder, and flash nandroid.

then as i said i would delete the disable lagfix file in order to take full advantage of your kernel and enjoy... again pm for anything else so we dont clutter this thread further.

I don't think it was ADW, since Email and Titanium were FC'ing too.

Any chance it was something that I'd restored from Titanium that could cause such an issue? Any chance re-flashing might fix it? FWIW I was using the stock kernel version.

I have some good news about battery life in Bionix1.3. I rebooted just before unplugging the phone from the charger. I don't have a voice plan on my phone due to being hearing impaired so I don't know how much that affects the battery life.

[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I would definitely try reflashing, and before restoring from titanium, try using email and the other apps that were FC.
[Vibrant Android Development] pinoiryder:
hope this help

same thing happen to me and ended exchanging the phone, i think the problem was when you formatted your SD card, If you can get into download mode then you still have hope.. when you do.. try to flash back to stock, there's a post on how to do this.. pm me if you have any question..
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Thanks for posting your results! This is exactly what I was hoping for. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
First, try flashing back to stock using Odin. If, for some reason it errors out and won't let you. Try this:

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

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!

The links for the two files are posted on the first page of my thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:

OK thanks im having trouble getting into download mode...from what i read. Im supposed to hold down the volume down and power button? But phone just keeps rebooting. If i just plug it in i get the battery charging screen. ill keep trying. Thanks everyone for the quick response.

[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
It's not causing any reboots for me. Then again, you have to make sure that your Setcpu does not set itself below 200; that alone will cause screen black-outs and reboots.

Several posts back in this thread Skater991 posted how to manually set your cpu settings to prevent such aforementioned issues.

Also, the OP mentioned that some Vibrants cannot handle the increased voltage to support OC. Luckily my phone has no such issues. :D
