Unless you use the JI2 flash from this thread, the build.prop is not changed and it won't say JI2 there.

Reflashing is the only thing that fixes that for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
i had this exact problem, heres what worked for me (let me know if it works for you, of course i was using voodoo).

1)disable-lagfix

2)re-flash to stock using odin

3)flash bionix 1.9

4)let boot for 10 mins, restart

5)delete disable-lagfix

6)unplug phone from power source and reboot (so voodoo enables on boot up instead of shutdown)

for some reason the orientation was messing up because of the enabling of voodoo... at least thats what worked for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
I was using stock official j16 rom and flash 1.9.1 stock kernel,now I can't nandroid back,i get stuck at vibrant screen!any solution for that?

And I wasn't any lag fix!
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
you have to go back to stock, download mode still works, there is a problem with nandroid after flashing bionix, that happend to me to, is just a soft brick.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
thanks for the help, but i just don't want to restore all apps again, is not that big of a deal really.

And by the way that is the exact thing i did, i always go back to stock before flashing bionix again, and it happen with 1.8 and now 1.9, I hope that sombionix fixes this before 1.10 or 2.0 comes out.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
I freaking hate odin,i didn't know that! Thanks! Back to first base then!
[Vibrant Android Development] boundless:
I lost rotation too... It was working for a min and then just stopped all of a sudden. Also it was on 1.9... I upgraded to 1.9.1 and still no luck... Just went back to my stock rom and rotation is working fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
Unfortunately I don't think any of the devs have been able to replicate this issue. I've posted logcats for it, if someone is willing to sift through my posts they can find them, otherwise I'll repost them when I'm back in front of a PC.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
i personally don't know how to get logcats, but if you tell me how, i can post it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chaoshead:
Just wanted to say thanks for the great rom. Its phenomenal. Using 1.9 lacs oc/uv voodoo.

[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
i should read the whole thing next time. SORRY.
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
I have the same issue, but to be honest, the battery has never done that well (maybe 1.4 was good? I cannot remember I have flashed so many times), but I'll deal with it because 1.9.1 is awesome. Batteries are iffy anyway. Did I condition it correctly? Is it bad? Is it some app? The ROM? JI6? Who knows. I say roll with it. When you have a device in your pocket that is like carrying a small computer/phone/camera/mp3 player/video player, etc. you are going to drain some juice.

Sent by my Android.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
No worries, I'm on my phone currently and couldn't remember for sure if it was there (plus everyone tunes out sigs anyway).
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
Thanks man
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
I would say it is JI6. 1.4 did the best battery wise. JI6 builds are good as long as you are on Edge. Once you turn 3G on, it sucks the juice out pretty fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
Orientation problem

I've experienced randomly twice. Both times simply going to settings and disabling orientation and then re-enabling it fixed it for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
That didn't work for me, next time it happens I'll give it a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Re flashed 1.8 and now battery life is great! Still on 100% after listening to pandora, using GPS, texting, and getting on facebook. LEGIT.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Not true, yesterday the OP stated that the build.prop makes it say JI2/6, so even if you flash one or the other, it will only say what the build.prop tells it too.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
here is the logcat
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Well I flashed JI2 modem and it still says JI6
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
I have had 3 txt messages "fail" on me since flashing this ROM. One thing I don't get is that the texting app is different from 1.8 and I am not sure why.

My battery life is terrible as well. When I had 1.8 it was worse than stock, Now this 1.9.1 is worse than 1.8. I love this ROM and if there is no other fix for this other than reconditioning (I have done it twice) then I guess I'll have to buy more batteries!
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Camping is a nice break from all of the coding you've been doing. I hope you have a great weekend!
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
Deodexed?

Need to install BiDi support, the fix for it apparently requires a deodexed MMS app and overall a mostly deodexed rom.

Was considering trying this ROM but odex wasn't mentioned in the OP.

Thanks for the reply.
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
@sombionix - We really mean it...please take it easy. 1.3 is so perfect I am so in love with my phone. Not even one FC or any issues so far.

I noticed my battery is not caliberated properly after flasing the ROM, like at full charge it shows 96%. I know I have to wipe battery stats and recharge or something. Can one of you please tell me how to do this. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
-Seriously friend. People can really wait until you return. No sense in killing yourself (staying up all night or having the girlfriend dismember you) for all this. You've got a great thing in 1.3 and the upgrade can wait. Have a great weekend. I'll be enjoying my awesome phone at Disneyland.

[Vibrant Android Development] Azrael.arach:
I was worried going back to a voodoo kernel and bionix since first time with beta 1 and losing everything. Just flashed 1.3 with voodoo and WOW this thing flies. Can not wait for 1.4 but get some rest man you been pushing it hard on this rom and froyo.

Thank you for all your hard work on these roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Whatever you decide to do, release or no release...

At least this weekend, Eugene might get a chance to catch up. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Just as a thought for the future, perhaps you can run a non-wipe/kernel update for the things you change from version to version so we dont necessarily have to nuke the phone to upgrade?

I agree with the trend of posters, Absolutely love my phone more now then the day I got it, couldnt be happier.
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
WOW! I was a little sketchy at first but.. :D OMG this rom is sooo damn sexy especially with the green circle mod ohh man thanks man really appreciate it*.

Edit: Whoooo Hooo mu s*** is flying you Are the Man!

[Vibrant Android Development] Vanilla gorilla:
I have found a way to fix your vibrant if you fail to remove the voodoo lagfix before flashing something else, without odin! I repeat you don't need odin! If you have the same issue as me pm me I can help.

[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
If you are going to type it in a pm, you might as well just post it. Sorry, I just came off as being an asshole. I dont know how else to say it though haha
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Do i have to be 100% charged or barely charged when I wipe battery? Or that doesn't matter? Just trying to be sure...
[Vibrant Android Development] Segnaro:
The Galaxy S wallpapers are all messed up :(

I'm guessing they only work with the stock kernel? :P
[Vibrant Android Development] allareconnected:

[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
It makes perfect sense. He has never wiped battery with 0% or 100% and he has never had any problems. Speak English much?
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Sorry, I didnt mean to flame.. I know we all make mistakes. But it definitely did not make sense. He asked if he should run the battery down or keep it fully charged, and he said "I never do"

Sometimes i really regret posting things on here..
[Vibrant Android Development] cm1ck:
I am also having this problem!
[Vibrant Android Development] ekeefe41:
Ever since the JI6 ROM's started getting released i have had nothing but battery issues. One of the things i truly loved was the battery life of the Vibrant, coming from a rooted G1 that mostly ran the latest CM mods the battery life on the vibrant was a revelation....

I have recondition my battery and still the battery life blows on Bionix 1.9...

Anyone know of a ROM with solid battery life and usable GPS.

Honestly i can wait a min or 2 for GPS lock as long as a have good battery life.

I know this probably sounds like a whining/*****ing post, so i want to add i have nothing but the greatest admiration for all the dev's.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
i guess 1.9 is really having some issues, but i really love the rom, is fast and the only problem i have have been fixed with re-flash, except for the rotation problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] spdrcr999:
First off, thank you for a great rom! Just about everything on this is awesome.

However, I have just spent about an hour reading through these pages, and have yet to find a definite answer on the Media Hub issue. Some people are saying that it is working fine, but I have not seen anyone state that they are able to watch purchased movies. I can view previews just fine, but the movie that I purchased will not unlock and it states that "Device does not support requested file type."

I have seen that it works fine for the J16 OTA updates, but as I have not received mine yet, I have not been able to try it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And once again, Thank you for all of your hard work!
[Vibrant Android Development] de31:
does anyone know if I need to do any disable lag fix if I do the lag fix method on non voodoo rom mentioned in op when switching roms?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
That absolutely is "whining/*****ing" since this is not being caused by the Dev's ROM. There are plenty of us using it correctly and getting phenomenal results. My battery use screen says I have been unplugged for 19h 11m 52s and I have 53% battery left. My GPS, compass, and overall orientation WORK. No FC's with any programs including pandora, Allshare, music player, or any others that people are reporting. Half of you sound like you just stumbled across this thread one day and decided to go nuts with flashing your phones without learning how all this works in the first place. There have been a few bugs from the ROM and Sombionix has almost always fixed them right away. Bugs brought in from kernels other than stock, from apps, from corrupted downloads of the ROMs, from bad flashes, not rebooting, or simply not knowing what you are doing, is not something you should be complaining about on here. These types of problems have all been addressed on here, are not the dev's fault, and if you had taken more than two seconds of your time to learn what you were doing, you would have already been able to solve your problems. Search the Thread before posting, and take your time doing it. :mad: Enough said.
[Vibrant Android Development] de31:
So the method he mentions on lag fix for non voodoo roms is still voodoo? Sorry I came from a my touch without any of these lag fix things
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
No rotation problems here
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Voodoo is one of the several lag fixes you might have added in a previous flash of your ROM. If you have done so, then it needs to be disabled before you flash "anything" else on your phone if you don't want a soft brick to happen. After you are done flashing, you can remove the "disable voodoo" file on your phone and reboot. If you changed kernels to one without voodoo, then you don't need to worry about disabling voodoo again, unless you again use a kernel with voodoo enabled.

Hope this helps your understand better. Happy flashing.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
When this thread goes Super Saiyan and hits 1000 PAGES does Sombionix get glowing yellow hair? Do we then aim for 10,000? Is there going to be a torrent of "First" comments when we get to 999 pages?

Will we now?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
If you are using 1.9 Bionix, you are already on a a ROM with solid battery life and usable GPS. 1.9 did come with the JI6 Modem, which has been shown to be a battery hog for some users. If this is the case for you, I would advise grabbing the JI2 modem from http://www.teamwhiskey.com and flashing it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:

Also, if you're having issues with the battery life, try re-flashing.. it can solve many problems. Re-flashing has helped me with many issues since Bionix 1.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] renardk764:
No issues....probably user error

I've been running the 1.9 for the last couple of days. No issues and more than acceptable battery life. But of course I read the forum, troubleshoot my phone (apps running, services running) and properly recalibrate the battery after every new ROM (thanks alot you over enthusiastic developers :)) which is currently occuring rather frequently. HEHEHEHE I love this forum and the work Bionix, Eugene373, Master, JAC, Viralblack and others are doing. It's a breath of fresh air to be able to change, maniupulate and make my phone exactly what I want.

I love FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] briankao1992:
I figured out the reason it did this. I saved my settings from 1.8, which had lockscreens. In 1.9 there is no lock screens, which really confused my phone i guess. Flashed 1.9 last night, no problems yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:

[Vibrant Android Development] RPGbig:
Are soft bricks fixable?

I read on the cm forum that they were unfixable if the voodoo is enabled. But ehh thought I might as well ask you. I can get into the stock recovery but it wont mount the sd card.

Read a bit more on the orginal post....
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'd also like to point out something. If you're using an app to auto-kill other apps, then that would help explain some issues. There is a very good article about auto-killing tasks and you can find it here. Task killers cause the system do a lot more work than is needed.

Summary:

Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when more memory is needed.

Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when it’s done doing what it needs to do.

Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when you haven’t returned to it in a long time.

Most services (while possibly running in the background) use very little memory when not actively doing something.

A content provider is only doing something when there is a notification for it to give. Otherwise it uses very little memory.

Killing a process when it isn’t ready only causes it to have to reload itself and start from scratch when it’s needed again.

Because a task is likely running in the background for a reason, killing it will only cause it to re-spawn as soon as the activity that was using it looks for it again. And it will just have to start over again.

Killing certain processes can have undesirable side effects. Not receiving text messages, alarms not going off, and force closes just to name a few.

The only true way to prevent something from running at all on your phone would be to uninstall the .apk.

Most applications will exit themselves if you get out of it by hitting “back” until it closes rather than hitting the “home” button. But even with hitting home, Android will eventually kill it once it’s been in the background for a while.

(emphasis mine)

Thanks for this. When I first got my Vibrant (first Android phone for me), I got ATK as everyone suggested and aggressively shut down apps. Quit doing that after two weeks and am none the worse for wear. Heck, I probably burned more battery just opening up ATK every hour than from any marginal savings by killing apps. IMO the only reason to use something like that is if you've got a runaway app that's sucking power. I've never run low on RAM, never had any weird draining issues. I now prefer to use Autostarts, which lets you keep specific apps from starting up on their own.
[Vibrant Android Development] tsnow247:
Its anyone else having issues with orientation on 1.9.1? Mine won't rotate.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
You will likely need to re flash. I had this happen once, as have many many others. If re flashing leaves you with the same problem, you will probably need to Odin back to stock, than re flash after that.

P.S.- Search works great! This question has been answered lots of times! Meh, people won't listen anyway. :rolleyes:

question about unlock

hello everyone, I have been using Bionix since 1.2 and I had a G1 rooted with CM6 before i broke its touchscreen. Anyway , I do not post at all but I do know how to install the roms , etc. 1.9.1 works great ( so did 1,8 , 1.7) in fact i have never had a problem with any bionix rom before ( battery life is at least double stock)

my question is , I want to sim unlock my phone to use it internationally with another carrier. the problem is the app on the market to unlock the sim does not work because it does not recognize my phone as a galaxy s phone ( probably because I am running bionix) does anyone know how to unlock my phone while on 1.9.1 and not stock rom... I really hate to have to reformat everything and go back to stock to unlock my phone ,,, please help:D
[Vibrant Android Development] PepeLasNoches:
edit: never mind
[Vibrant Android Development] briankao1992:
I lied... it happened again. Going back to 1.4
[Vibrant Android Development] Jayrod1980:
If you have voodoo, disable, back up your rom with clockwork, flash the stock kernel, the stock rom, dl the app, unlock the phone, then flash back whatever kernel u used before and restore nandroid backup... A bit of work but less with nan. I fact you can just reflash bionix then nandroid restore your backup in clock to get your stuff back
[Vibrant Android Development] ezadel:
I know that but it does not work with Bionix , i think it needs stock firmware :(
[Vibrant Android Development] ezadel:
thanks how do I flash the stock kernel?? I only have a nan of the stock firmware can i just run that (backup) after disabling vooodoo or I need to somehow flash the stock kernel (how)

Also if i tried to call t mobile to get an unlock code , can i then just use it on bionix or i still have to go back to stock?

Sent from Bionix 1.9.1 JAC 1.1 OC/UV with XDA App
[Vibrant Android Development] de31:
okay i understand that part now, heres my situation with more depth, i had stock rom, flashed to 1.8 non-voodoo, then 1.9 came out so i got 1.9.1 jacs_ocuv_voodoo, flashed it and did the disabled/enabled test in OP:

it read the disabled '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'

*note i've rebooted the phone a few times already and checked that i dont have a 'disable-lagfix' notepad in the voodoo folder

so my question is, does this mean my phone is one of the few that wont work with voodoo, and if so, when i flash a non-voodoo rom like bionix 1.9 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel v1.1 then use the optional lag fix also mentioned in OP:

would i have to disable that lag fix each time i want to flash a new rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] gatesmarch123:
Oh WTF!! This just ruined my goddamn weekend.
[Vibrant Android Development] ezadel:
I called T mobile they unlock your phone for free as long as u had your last unlock more than 40 days ago... I ll wait for the code ( they will email it) and see if it works on Bionix , I assume it will work... maybe only the app has problems but once i have the code it would work... right?

[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I'm pretty sure that the OP says that you only need to disable the Voodoo lag fix before flashing anything else. I believe it also says that "1. If you are already running the Voodoo lag fix you MUST disable it before flashing this ROM. If you are running the old lag fix that uses ext2, you do not have to disable it, just flash this rom on top. You can also flash on top of the leaked froyo roms (JP3)."

There you go, I took one second to read the OP, and you took one minute to write up your question. Hope it helped none the less.;)
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
Great job Team Whiskey, this rom is very stable and very snappy. I appreciate the rom and will donate tonight. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Can't wait to see your Froyo Rom, I bet it will be something special!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just find someone you know, tell them to buy the Vibrant, do something cool for them by loading Bionix for them, then copy their video to your phone. It's a win win.:D

Edit: Oh wait, find someone who already knows how to load Bionix so you don't delete your friends vid as well. J/K
