Do you have Terminal Emulator?

--if you have Terminal Emulator, have you tried doing the following commands:

su

reboot recovery

-it puts you into the Samsung Recovery and if you have Clockwork, you just "reinstall packages" and you're in Clockwork Recovery.

Was that your question?

btw, great job reading all those posts. You're probably more up to date on stuff than most.
[Vibrant Android Development] knotphunnie:
I'm actually more concerned with getting into recovery using the button method in case I brick. Rom manager lets you boot into recovery too but it won't do me much good if I can't start the phone up.

Thanks for taking the time to help. Maybe my issue will be resolved when I flash 1.8.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
I am not a fan of the allblack theme on this ROM, so I have a couple question:

If I load the PNG's from the standard framework-res and twframework-res on top of this ROM, then will that get me back to a stock look? Are there XML edits that I also need to take into account for font color changes, spacing, etc? If so, can someone nudge me in the right direction as to what I should be looking for?

Thanks

Bionix doesn't cause problems like this..
[Vibrant Android Development] knotphunnie:
Rats. It never had problems before. I rooted with no problems. I used to just boot into recovery for fun sometimes. Now it won't work.

I know about the wireless tether (Mobile AP) which is awesome for my laptop, but my desktop does not have a wireless adapter and I'm stuck using USB tethering. Not to mention that wireless tethering uses a lot of battery and I typically have to have it plugged into a USB port while wireless tethering just to keep the phone from dying.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
The ROM itself should not affect you being able to boot into recovery. There is a thread somewhere explaining how to remove the hardware lock. Although you haven't been locked before, you may give it a try
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I'm not trying to be rude at all, but more or less save you from a disaster. If you have to ask what you are looking for in order to change those things, I wouldn't even touch it. Its a lot more involved than just swapping out images, and yes, one of which includes modifying xml files which need to be converted from binary to human readable format, then converted back to binary.

EDIT: I will try and make time to create a flashable.zip with the stock JI6 framework.

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Email the developer of that app and inform him/her that there are devices that use a color other than white for the notification bar?

Just a thought.

I love how this thread is so huge if you search for the word "search" you get over 180 results - most of them telling people to search. Even the number of times people are telling other people to search is becoming unwieldy.

On topic, just want to say that after reconditioning my battery last night everything is running awesome now (at least the features I use). I needed to use the JI6 modem, on JI2 all I could ever get was "enhanced" network ie: ~56kbps. Now I'm always 3G and get ~500Kbps. That's a change worth some battery life (though really with the reconditioning I'm not noticing it being bad).

Thanks again peoples.

GPS Worse After 1.7 JI2 Flash - Default Settings?

Hello folks,

First of all let me say I've been reading and reviewing posts for weeks to follow these great developments and have just finally pulled the trigger and flashed 1.7 with voodoo JAC kernel, JI2, (gps fix, didn't want JI6 battery hog) and it's smooth as butter, installed without a hitch, and flying, thank you kind sir(s)! may your whiskey reward you with warm feelings. I was on stock before. However, and I did search the forum high and low for anecdotal posts on this, but couldn't find, so pardon if it's been posted.

I tried out the google maps, foursquare, gps test in excitement to see my GPS find and grab more birds. GPS didn't actually work to bad on my stock room (purchased late July), in fact it would grab out side sometimes in a few seconds, to 15, to a minute. Now however, outside i cannot even see the birds for 3 or 3 minutes, and cannot get a lock at all. I'm on the JI2 baseband which was supposed to improve GPS, but instead it seems to have degraded the quality severely. I have yet to get a lock at all now, but I'm going to try outside again.

I didn't see in the OP that I needed to switch back to default GPS settings in test mode, is that the case? What should the test mode settings be for 1.7? Whether I leave them as default after flashing, or change to the early "gps fix" no dice.

Any suggestions?

Many apologies if this has been covered, but I thought the JI2 was supposed to make it even better not worse, and am wondering if you had any ideas to try.

Thanks again for a great ROM, dont' want to revert back to stock to get mediocre GPS :-)

Sincerely,

Kelly

UPDATE: Firstly, I COULD KISS YOU ALL! (But I won't because it might be construed as awkward) So impressed with the development ability and helpfulness on this forum, Sombionix and company, you truly should be getting lucrative job offers from any self respecting manufacturer or carrier (are there any?) or your own consulting / customization services. Update on the GPS, I reverted to default settings (www.sirent, 7275, etc), rebooted, and waited as advised as I walked up to my local Trader Joes. After a nice leisurely stroll, I finally locked in on the 8 or 9 birds I saw, it only got better from there. I can now use GPS inside, which I couldn't do before, using location apps, satellites lock in *seconds*. Can't quite lock in my bedroom but probably to be expected. Wondering if supl.google.com would work better or defaults? Also think there is APK to get my cute blue and green chat bubbles back, so I'll look around. Love the black notifications bar!

So pleased with this ROM and the smoothness and speed, thank you so much, and I look forward to contributing fiscally to your ongoing commitment to drunken creativity.

Cheers,

Kelly

stock framework

I saw someone asking for a stock framework look, so here's a quick attempt.

Again, I don't know all the apps that have been edited for this rom, so this only includes:

/system/framework/framework-res.apk

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk

/system/app/MediaProvider.apk

/system/app/Gmail.apk

and the framework-res.apk is compiled with the circular battery mod used by default in bionix 1.7 and support for the multiple lock-screen mod.

And of course, like always, I'm absolutely not responsible for anything this does to your phone, you took a risk modding your phone in the first place, =)

Anyway, should flash fine from clockwork recovery, no need to disable voodoo before flashing since its not touching the /data partition at all, and this won't delete/wipe any of your data. I recommend clearing your cache, and dalvik-cache before rebooting though, and if you don't disable voodoo, you need to clear dalvik-cache manually from a terminal/shell.

Cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
First lock is always the longest. Some people it took 20 minutes. After that it should lock faster. Make sure "Use Wireless networks" is checked in the settings - at least for the first lock to make it go faster as well.

Is the Epic lock screen supposed to show notifications or is it just the lock? The reason I ask is that the screen shots I've seen show you being able to drag the "button" thing down for missed calls and sms.

I don't get that with text messages on my phone with the Epic lock screen. I do get the missed call one though.

Call Volume

Posting this one more time since I haven't found an answer yet.

So reading and searching through the thread, and I haven't found the answer I was hoping for. I'm still having issues with the call volume when on a call. It's extremely low.

I know you can turn on the HAC mode in settings and it helps, but any ideas on if this issue will be fixed in the next release?

Yeah, if you use a version of Mms.apk with puzzle-lock support, you should get notifications on the epic unlock screen.

[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
If you switch batteries constantly like me, you just give up and admit that the battery % is merely a "suggestion".... If the phone didn't start freaking out at 15% or so with low battery warnings, it'd be fine. I can go 30 minutes with podcasts playing AFTER the battery reaches 0%... but if I condition it, then it's off the other way when I put in my backup battery.

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
thanks for the screenshots. I really like the way the Epic lock screen looks and acts. I hope this lock screen is kept, at least as an option, in future Bionix ROMs.
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
What I did was charge it to 100%.

Unplugged it.

Wiped the battery stats.

Drained the battery in about an hour and a half - (Played Avatar - Full brightness with Outdoor mode turned on, Turned off wifi and played Tunein radio at the same time as watching the movie)

Let the phone completely die (turn off, unresponsive to power button).

Recharged 100%.

Now I'd say my battery life is literally about twice as good as it was before. I know everyone else's results may very but it's working for me :)

I don't think so, the hack/mod to add puzzle-support to the AOSP & CM Mms.apk was discovered by untermensch here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8542257&postcount=6114

And that was on page 612 of the thread, after the release of 1.7 I believe.

All I did was add his code the CM 5.0.8 version of Mms.apk.

Here's a quick hack of the MMS.apk included with bionix 1.7 if anyone wants to test it and see if it works with puzzle notifications, just rename to MMS.apk, and push to /system/app, then reboot and clear cache & dalvik-cache.

EDIT: Works for me, here's a screenshot

Did you accidentally delete the update.zip on the root of /sdcard ? If so, check rom manager, see if it says you have the latest clockworkmod recovery, if not click it and select the vibrant in the drop down list. It will reflash the update.zip containing clockwork recovery. then try rebooting into clockwork...

[Vibrant Android Development] :
what are you talking about? i made my wife take my kid to the ER so i wouldn't miss this. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Here's the thing. Its not actually draining fast, its just draining to the point "it thinks" its empty, and then will shut down on you at zero, BUT the battery actually has plenty of juice left around say 50%. This is why reconditioning the battery teaches the new rom how your battery works, charges and drains. Every time you flash a new rom, you are removing the ""previous learned state" so the battery at that moment should be 100%, but it never is. We flash roms when ever we feel like it not when the battery is perfectly 100%. So you get a rom that has no clue how your battery functions, so its assumes your battery is fully charged. BUT, once you fully charge it AFTER the new rom flash you just screwed yourself. Now the rom thinks that the battery % from 50%-100% is the same as 0% to 100%. So you experience a much faster drain since its actually draining only to say 50% or so, while the Rom reads it as 0%. Going from 100% to 50% is MUCH faster than going from true 100% to true 0%. Think of it this way, each 2% you see on the meter is actually 1% of the batteries true energy level. So the Rom is just lying to you unaware of the true energy contained in the battery. Im just throwing numbers out there on how it works, my figures are simply for examples and do not really represent how it works, but its something similar to this.

True 100% to true 0% can only be achieved if the OS is givin a chance to learn the battery from scratch. Thats why ClockworkMOD Recovery was givin this feature, otherwise it would take weeks or months for the OS to re-learn, if it ever does.

YMMV
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
No, No & No
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Skorp,

I agree completely with all of your premises but disagree completely with your conclusion. I just PM'd Viralblack with a detailed analysis including graphs. He can share it if he thinks that it has any merit. By the way, the Vibrant does not shut down when the battery meter shows empty. As you point out, the battery meter is only a calculation. The Vibrant only shuts down when the battery voltage actually reaches a predetermined level. If the stored curve is way off, you may be able to operate for quite some time with the meter at zero. I have. Unfortunately, my take is that the current procedure will have the opposite result...
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Awesome, and yes that was pure guessing on my part as Im sure its something similar, otherwise we wouldn't have the problem in the first place. lol, Id love to see a true representation of how this works, since its obviously a software controlled process. Some people like myself, do a wipe battery stats and then get 50% better battery life, so I just used that as an example...
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I believe I've fixed it seeing how I can't seem to replicate the issue anymore. Does someone want to elaborate and tell me EXACTLY what happens with the volume and how to replicate it? Yeah...maybe I can't because I fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellyculligan:
thank you, I will give that a shot, question though, should I get into test mode and change gps settings back to default? as in, from MS based, back, change back to Auto Mode FQDN (instead of Google?) just wondered what the settings revert to when flashing the 1.7 ROM in the first place for GPS, I changed to the "quick fix" offered months ago but want to know what the ideal settings are for JI2 ?

Thanks again!
