"No more ROMS for you" says the ROM Nazi :D seriously get a life and go ***** somewhere else.
[Vibrant Android Development] ryangera:
That's a great way to think about it. I got impatient with 1.4 and jerked my phone all up. Have been patient and careful ever since and I learn more with each new Rom and new post on here. Bomb rom som. Well said MF

My experience with Bionix

I decided to move away from the stock ROM and give Bionix a try. I have been extremely happy! Sombionix, I think you've done an amazing job improving a mediocre product and turning into what it should have been in the first place! Thank you for all of your hard work.

And, to those who offered criticism of this ROM, my advice is to be part of the solution (and not part of the problem). For example, if you don't feel that the documentation is up to your par, offer to take responsibility for writing up the notes for the next release. Most developers I've worked with would love to have the documentation, but generally don't have the time - as it can take just as long as doing the coding & testing.

So, to Sombionix and all of the developers: Thank you for your labor of love. And realize that for every person who thanks you in this thread, there are probably 50 others who are using your ROM with great success!

EDIT: One more thing, When Froyo comes out for the Vibrant, I'm be looking forward to the Bionix build!! I prefer the product of developers who take pride in, and have passion for, their work. And that's something that shines through in the Bionix ROM.

Sorry, I wrote that at 4am last night.

Reboot your phone into clockwork recovery. Inside CW recovery you're able to get into the full system dir. (command: adb shell)

Once you're inside go to /sdcard (command is: cd /sdcard) you should see the voodoo folder (view this by command: ls) then type cd /voodoo. Type in (mv disable-lagfix 1disable-lagfix) without the ()

Reboot your phone. It will remove the lagfix. Once there you can install another rom without it getting messed up from the lagfix.

NOTE: I did read on here someone said they just waited a little longer and it started working.

I decided to install the 1.9.1 without voodoo. The phone is running perfectly fine.

sombionix, you don't have to explain yourself to this _________ or anyone else for that matter. Just keep on going with your bad self. Your work speaks for itself. I know I am much, much more happier with a Bionix fortified Vibrant versus the stocker.

Again, thanks for you time and your help to this great community.

PS- Oh, and another thing.... I come from the Apple OS community and the reason why GeoHot quit developing for the community is because of ________ like that guy that posted here. Just ignore them people....

@Sombionix

Thanks so much, not only for your work on this ROM, but for putting up with some of the assholes and mouth-breathers in this thread. The fact that you not only stick around, but even address "bugs" and comments in a 10,000 post thread really speaks to your character. Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] jmerchant:
Same with me, though I stuck with JAC's and VooDoo...freaking loving it!!! Really makes this phone into something awesome...Thanks sombionix!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Hi all,

I flashed the stock JI6 OTA ODIN after installing Bionix 1.9. I wanted to do a battery comparison. I rooted it and installed SetCPU. My CPU range was, as expected, 100-1000 MHz. I then flashed Bionix 1.9 stock. I restored my apps via TB. I ran SetCPU and my CPU range is 100-1200. What am I missing? Stock Bionix should be 100-1000 with no OC right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Shaul305:
Ditto.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Did you use the Stock kernel? Or did you use Jac OC/UV kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] bagayas:
Sombionix, thanks for all the hard work you put into developing your ROM. Been running 1.91 w Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo for a day now (upgraded from 1.8) and haven't had one prob. Phone is silky smooth, I can overclock with the settings at 100-1200 with absolutely NO issues. GPS locks on in less than 10 seconds, mms works fine. Sorry, but I can't find anything to ***** about, ok maybe the fact that you work too damn fast and I'm finding it hard to keep up!

Keep up the great work! You make upgrading the Vibrant so damn easy.

[Vibrant Android Development] Shaul305:
Don't mind the liq, but I wanna say once again thanks for this pimptastic ROM.

I was for hours trying to study adb and to no avail gave up trying to "unlock" the built in lagfix, so I reflashed with the voodoo kernel, holy ****, I know I loved the other version but this one kicks ass.

Thanks for the time you and team whiskey put in on the roms. I honestly won't use 2.2 until there's a Bionix build. Big ups!
[Vibrant Android Development] S1mSyo:
wowzer

This is the best thing i have ever put on my phone... good job!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Sudravirodhin:
Suggestion: If you have ROM Manager pre-installed maybe you can slip Titanium in there too? It's a nice thought, anyway. =)

If this has already happened, disregard this suggestion and slap this post with a rather large trout. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Lancelaut:
Sombionix, Thank you for all the work you put into these roms. I absolutely love your roms, smooth and slick. How can anyone go back to stock? LOL

a few things just for you.

1. You had stated that you did what 3/4 of us asked for and gave us back JI6 for gps files, and don't understand the connect issues, could it just be the carrier service in each persons area? Including "arial frequency collisions" (lack of better term to discribe a sense of jamming) interfering w/GPS signals temporarily? Personally mine works for all my intents and purposes, it just isn't as accurate as I think it could be. The fact that it works at all is a HUGE improvement for me. I don't rely on it to get me step by step to a location.

2. A question that has me curious: What rom/kernel do you personally use most?

3. Again THANK YOU! You and Whiskey Team are 180PROOF!

Question for anyone:

How do you know what you can delete from your Internal SD? I have a bunch of folders there probably from previously installed apps and such. I copied all the contents of my Internal SD to my Computer as a backup, but I don't want to break or Brick anything. I would prefer it to be as clean as possible, what to do?

I can post the 5 screenshots of my phone's File Browser if needed, but it seems a bit much yet :p
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I'm guessing that he has not done that since some use Titanium Pro with is a paid app. I think he's leaving people the option to get the paid one with more features and to help support the dev. However, if that dev were to give his blessing on the pro version for everyone using bionix, that would be the grease in the gears.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Definately the stock kernel. I had Jac OC/UV installed prior. I though it might be causing my massive battery drain so I flashed Stock OTA and then went back to Stock Bionix - no Jac.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
The pro version is kind of like clockwork mod pro, it is simply another file you put on your phone that unlocks the main program. I have Clockwork Mod Pro, and I simply re-download the key from the market once I install the ROM to unlock it. It would be no different for the Titanium Pro.
[Vibrant Android Development] ShanDestromp:
That shouldn't matter; I'm not 100% but unless things have changed, the Pro and normal versions are only different because of a key file you store on your phone which activates the "pro" features. That is unless the dev has added a new pro version to the market, but the last I knew you just purchased the key from the market.

That said, if the dev is ok with it, I'd love to have it pre-installed; saves me a step when I reflash lol.

Oh, and for people asking for a frame of reference regarding battery time; I attached a sample screenshot. Mind you I haven't even completed my reconditioning yet. I'd say my usage today has been "moderate". I spent about 2hours this morning reading the xda forums and the rest of the time has been a couple of phone calls and a hundred or so texts; with a smattering of emails and such.
[Vibrant Android Development] loogielv:
just 2 things. 1) Bionix newbie here and so far I really like it. It's seems to be very fast.

2) I used to forgo Setcpu and use "JuiceDefender" to pimpslap my battery. I used to get double battery life with JuiceDefender. However, reading through 1000 pages here, I dont see anyone else using it.

So I flashed 1.9.1 Voodoo, and installed SetCPU, didn't install JuiceDefender. Figured if all the OGs are running SetCPU, so should I. I set some profiles, no issues with lock ups. The battery drained fast as ****, but I haven't been able to recondition yet. Currently charging and at 97%, so I'll start that in about 10 min.

Anyway, anyone else have experience with JuiceDefender, and if so, are there certain reasons why I "SHOULDN'T" be using it?

thanks again. Keep up the good work. As far as the douchebag whiners and complainers, maybe you could give admin rights to some of the OGs and they could just delete posts like that. I'm sure alot of people here would be happy to do that for you, so you dont have to wade through the bs.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
My bad. I should have realized that about the separate key file. Titanium is definitely used by a lot of people on here and would be a nice addition.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] SugarMouth:
Something is going on. When I run Bionix/JAC OCUV my phone battery will drain to the point of the phone turning off by 9pm. If I nand back to stock I am at 50% battery by 9pm. This cant be the conditioning can it? I mean will the phone turn itself off with actual juice left in the battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Actually, it can unfortunately as the system tends to 'guess' the optimal and minimal battery levels initially.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah what he said.... lol

Thats what I said a few weeks ago when I suggested he change his user name to Sambionix, LOL. The T-Mobile Sambionixsung... Ok well with further thought I think not...

Well not always true. I remember a million years ago when my wife cooked my first Fish dinner. She followed the directions to the letter T, and when she yelled at me to come sit down and try her first fish dinner I was excited. Well I sat down, removed the lid from the pan and still to this day have no clue if it tasted good or not. Point is not all directions are complete, in fact the directions she followed never once told her to FREAKING REMOVE THE HEAD BEFORE YOU COOK HIM...

I did not have the heart to eat an animal that was staring at me....

Sometimes you have to close and re-open setCPU for it to work properly.

I do not think its a good idea to include software that cost money to own. Unless there is a free version I am not aware of, but I think the dev for TB makes his living solely from coding TB, but I could be wrong...
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
Echoing what others have said, Ti is unlocked with a text key file, mine sits on my drive, I install the free version from the Market, it unlocks as pro when I launch it. I dunno about the paid version the dev has up on the market now.

My paid Clockwork app gets restored by Ti and unlocks the pro version there. Easy peasy.
[Vibrant Android Development] SugarMouth:
Hmm, ok. I'll "condition" it and see how it goes.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
Skorp: there is a free version of TB on the market. The pro "version" isnt really a version at all, it's just a keyfile that unlocks the pro "version" abilities when installed. If you try and install the pro by itself, there is no app.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
I think putting TB in the ROM would increase exposure for the dev and the application. After flashing a few ROMs, even I sucked it up and bought the pro version, and I'm about as cheap as they come..
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I'll say it again in fewer words so you understand. "I stand corrected.":eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I'll check with the publisher of titanium to see if I can include it. If I get permission I will include it in my next release.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Yow I'mma let everyone here finish in a min but I just WANTED to say ...BIONIX IS THE BEST ROM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
On that note, then yes I love TB and paid for it from day one. This would make things a tad easier, but I think he still needs the devs approval first.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
If you do that will it somehow disable any possible market link? Id hate for it to go unchecked by the market app if a newer version gets released that is important to upgrade to. Not sure if that made sense, lol...
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Idk why, but my battery life is HORRIBLE now, I had excelent battery life on 1.4, and 1.8 (only 2 I flashed) and I could last about a whole day (630am) until 5pm and it would only be on about 48-53, now it goes to about 20, Yes I reconditioned the battery. I'll do it again..
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Im still on 1.8 using JI6 and I now have an extended battery somehow. I was thinking about buying one, but it looks like this combination did the same exact thing, if not better. But Im going through some terrible flashing withdrawals so I wish I had a second phone to get my fix :( ... and to test better setups than the one I have now, if possible.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Considering ROM Manager has no problem linking to the market I would this TB should be fine too..
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I just got another friend interested in this ROM on her Vibrant! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] farberstyle:
1. I love my phone more than ever, this rom is the bomb.com

2. My battery life is the suck. I went through all the versions of frankin-twiz, then came to bionix at 1.6. I have conditioned the battery twice and will try again tonight, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Very strange. I have 1.8 w/ JI2 and my baseband shows "T959UVJI2".
[Vibrant Android Development] snorge:
My post was far from trolling and for the record I went about flashing his roms with more care than most people here probably do. My only point is why not wait longer inbetween builds to work out the kinks and to give a little more explanation as to the changes that have been made. I've been flashing roms on various phones for quite a long time so it is silly of you to assume just because I didn't find them stable to assume I have no idea what I'm doing.

[Vibrant Android Development] speed145a:
Thankyou thank you thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Did you mean 1.9? 1.6 using JI6 had horrible battery for everyone who used it. 1.9 should be much better.

If your on 1.9 and have reconditioned battery, you might need to do it again, but this time let the battery naturally discharge fully and shut itself off, then fully charge and again let it fully discharge. If that don't work, try flashing another modem (thats what did it for me) but do NOT recondition battery afterwards, just watch the meter for a while to see what happens. AND, if that dont work, try reflashing the rom again, but this time AFTER the first bootup go back into recovery, do a factory reset, then fully charge and yet again go through entire battery recondition steps one final time.

Otherwise go back to 1.8 and wait for Bionix 2.0, unless someone else has something for you to try...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
You know that problem I reported about not being able to drain the battery to condition the ROM for my battery? Well, I think it just got worse now that I conditioned the ROM for my battery! It's been on and unplugged for 3 and half hours and it still shows 98 percent. Granted, I have not been doing much with it in that time, but still!!! WOW!!!!

I think it is going to be hard to walk away from this build when the next few are released. You Go SomBo!
[Vibrant Android Development] boogerburns:
I agree. I enjoy these ROMs as much as I did CyanogenMod for the G1. Amazing work Eugene and Bionix put into these things. C:
[Vibrant Android Development] xent:
You made a mistake here. Was wondering why it didnt disable lol. It should read "disable-lagfix"
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
I can't understand how everyone is getting so much juice out of their batteries. Mine is draining fast. I started having problems with Jac OC4 before I even flashed Bionix but no matter what I flash the battery drain persist. I have re-conditioned it several times following the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
And for general reference, I always flash the JI2 modem just for the added battery life, personally. I live in a city and 3/4G is everywhere around me, so the signal strength is a moot point. Always customize the rom to your needs and liking, if youre curious, all you have to do is ask :)

The IRC channel is listed, a lot of the questions can easily be answered in realtime there, just have to use the systems available to you :)

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You might take a look at the 3rd party apps you've installed, some of them are battery hogs. Have you installed any apps that are constantly polling servers for information (facebook, twitter, weather, etc)? Do you use wifi or GPS quite a bit? Are you using the JI6 modem? You can flash the JI2 modem, which is better on the battery, by grabbing it from here and flashing via clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
This cant be said enough. If the ROM doesn't have what you need, do more reading/searching and learn to change it. It will help you a lot in the long run.

Sent from this one thing using another thing. Cool isn't it?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Like Ard said, there are apps that could be sapping away your battery. I for one found that beautiful widgets was doing that to me. I just looked under menu/settings/about phone/battery use to see what was using the most battery. I also don't keep my wifi, gps, bluetooth, and those sort of things on unless I am using them. I also set to only use gsm networks as I don't even have 3G in my area.

Not really sure what has made the most difference for me, but running Bionix 1.9.1 with KingKlick kernel under volted and NO overclock via setcpu, I am getting great results. I even have the JI6 modem and have not dared to try JI2 considering I am as happy as I am with JI6 performance. Could be that I am not using 3G though.

Over all, just keep at it until you find the right combo for your phone. As Sombionix has stated, it's always good to start from a fresh base. Although I have not needed to do this, I would still heed his advice by using Odin to go back to stock "everything" and then putting your favorite ROM (Bionix 1.9.1 for me:)) with your favorite kernel. If it's not performing well with a certain kernel, then try another without reflashing the whole ROM (get the other kernels from the other threads). Then try overclocking if you must and see if lag improves, but don't really expect the battery to improve.

Condition your ROM for the battery with the steps clearly outlined in the OP (original post for those who don't know).

As always, don't forget to disable Voodoo before flashing anything if you already have it installed and running. Second, remember to reboot when instructions say to reboot. These are both very important.

Happy flashing!!!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
My reception is crap and most of the areas I travel to have bad reception too. Maybe that is doing it. I know from search the big G that the Bionix ROM, or any custom ROM for that matter, aren't the culprits here. I have switched back to the JFD modem and turned off 3g. Strange thing is display always shows the highest battery use even when the phone is in standby.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Yeah - I have quite a few widgets on all the time along with either WIFI, GPS, or bluetooth. I do a lot of driving. I think you are right, it is probably a combination of apps draining and the new radio.

Plugging usb cable = phone went off, volume keys switched

I've tried to search on the thread but can't find any post related to this problem.

I successfully installed bionix 1.9.1 to Galaxy S I9000, it's working fine except when I plug the usb cable the phone just went off..

Normally when the phone turned off, battery indicator will show up (when charging), but what happen on my phone the battery indicator show up for 1 second, and then went off, and went back on (it keeps repeating).

I also found another problem (not critical one though), volume up & down is switched (pressing volume up will actually reduce the volume..)

Anyone else have the same problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know if this is really ment for the I9000. This is mostly people with the vibrant version of the galaxy S phone. Not sure you will get any reliable responses if they are not coming from someone using the same phone as you.
[Vibrant Android Development] GantengX:
I guess so.. I'll try to reflash with stock firmware, and reinstall bionix one more time, if still doesn't work then it's too bad :(
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix, I Created a new Bionix wallpaper :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Thats actually pretty phenominal! lol

Ive been working on porting it to the other devices, youll have to let me know if you have any other issues.

The problem is more than likely that youre using our modem and kernel maybe? It may be just in the configuration, but still, come find me on google talk some day and Ill do what I can to help get that fixed, maybe we can get a proper revision for the i9000s :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
For those with battery drain issue with 1.9.1, this is what fixed it for me:

I flashed the JI2 modem, reboot, then flash JI6 modem back, drain all the way down until the phone turned off, then went into clockwork and the phone took an extra 40min to die, then charge up again..worked great!

NO ONE HAS A SENSE OF humor?? :o:o

I'm having problems with bionix 1.9 KK, and JAC oc/uv versions. After I plug it in to charge, or to my computer, my lock screen gets stuck, and I keep seeing the media scanner running, going on, and off. Afterwards, the screen turns black, with the bottom softkey lights on, then flashes back to the lock screen( and this goes in a loop, indefinitely) Currently testing if flashing back to 1.4 will fix this >.>
[Vibrant Android Development] sinean:
If you look in the 1st post there are issues with lockscreens in 1.9, They are supposed to be fixed in 1.9.1 version or at least mostly fixed.
