Once i have installed the ROM from my SD card can i delete the .zip files left behind (sans update.zip)

also, what is the best way to keep my settings/contacts etc. when updating from one custom ROM to another?

thanks in advance.

There was a 'patched' MMS.apk released with 1.7.

Prior to that there were problems with the 1.6 version not being able to send/receive...well...MMS messages :)

Viralback I believe skinned the 2.1 AOSP MMS.apk file and shared it with the group prior to 1.7 release.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
MyBackUp Pro is pretty good for backing up your system settings.

It does contacts as well, but I use my Gmail for that.

I wish there was a way I could permanently maintain my FB associations though but I fear I might wind up duplicating contacts if I try anything funky.

I finally rooted and installed Bionix 1.7 and must say it is fast and seems good so far. I searched and was wondering if froyo would be included at some point as I'm sure ota's are a thing of the past and if the swype would have the voice input in 1.8. I'm actually waiting for the 1.8 as well as the rest on here. Also need to commend you for all your work. Will send you a few bucks to your whiskey fund as well.

viral said it may take up to 7 minutes to boot to the lock screen...give it 10 minutes
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Yeah, I read your post and I don't wanna clog up this thread with too much idle chatter.

You've mentioned that you need 'help' but you haven't specifically said with what.

Are you back to Stock?

Were you able to ODIN your phone successfully?

What are you trying to achieve now?

The devil is in the details :)
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Oh....well, you can extract the 1.6 version out of your device if its on 1.6. If not, pull it out of the ZIP file.

Then push it into the /system/app folder of your 1.7 device using ADB or Root Explorer.

Reboot into recovery and clear out the system AND Dalvik caches, then reboot.

Optionally:

Go into Application Settings, set the filter to 'ALL' applications and then clear out the Twzlauncher data.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smithben1983:
ah sorry pal

it wouldnt go back to stock i am trying another thing with odin the fix from the OP. it is doing the same thing it was doing when this issue started.. gets to the big S start screen sits there than screen goes black and nothing if I touch the touch screen buttons the light up thats all. i want to get back to stock to whatever than reflash bionix and not selete random things again

Dude! What did I just say?

I'm not even sure what you're talking about, but here goes.

1.Install ODIN v1.3 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790026

2. Make sure your device is in DOWNLOAD mode.

3. Make sure ODIN recognizes your device (one of the COM boxes in ODIN will be yellow)

4. Browse and select the ...512.PIT file in the PIT field

5. Browse and select the ...SGH959.Tar file in the PDA field

6. Do NOT do anything with the Modem field (You're not ready for this yet)

7. Make sure Partition is NOT selected (You're most definitely not ready for this yet)

8. Double-check your current settings

9. Click Start

10. Don't touch ANYTHING till the process is complete and your phone restarts itself.

my best setup

i get major bugs when using and rom (bionix or eugene's builds) with the JAC oc/uv kernel v1.1........that being said when i use any rom i use JAC's oc/uv kernel v1 not v1.1.....i find it to be much more stable than 1.1 i have never overclocked and doubt i ever will and don't use voodoo because i am constantly making changes and dont need to be worrying if i disabled it or not. To me the best combo is bionix+JAC's oc/uv V1+ext2 (adb shell) lag fix....this way i get incredible speed, it's super stable and i get fantastic battery life (after a recondition of course) on v1.1 i would get frozen a a lot and random reboots...i guess my phone just doesn't like it....oh yeh stock kernel is awesome too...don't doubt it just cuz its stock...it's awesome.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Not to sound redundant, but did you reboot into recovery and clear out your caches after pushing the MMS.apk file into /system/app?
[Vibrant Android Development] nealante:
Well.......what I did was extracted the 1.6 apk from the zip and replaced the 1.7 apk then flashed!

Seriously, I'm flummoxed. Are you compiling your own ROMs or something?

I'm sorry and you may not realize it, but your explanation is very vague and only leads to more questions.

Flashed 1.7 with Voodoo and the JI6 modem earlier. Flashed fine, as far as I could tell, but I've noticed a few problems:

1. Can't get into the Clockwork Recovery I'm used to. I only have the option to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data, and delete cache data. The error message I see after I click Reboot into Clockwork Recovery in ROM Manager says, in case it's relevant:

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /cache/update/zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

2. Facebook contacts don't get added to Contacts, though they do show up in Contacts -> Updates.

3. GPS is still faulty for me. I tried navigating in my car earlier and the GPS gradually placed my position several kilometers away before eventually losing signal completely.

4. I'm unable to download anything from the market anymore.

Suggestions?

I, like many others, am trying to find answers in a thread that is over 700 pages deep. If we simply post our questions then we get flamed for not looking hard enough (which ironically makes the thread even more difficult to sift through), and thus asking questions that have already been answered.

Great job again Sombionix. Really quite excellent.

1 question for you or anyone else that may know.. Is it necessary to flash the entire rom to switch kernels? I was interested in testing out KK's vs JAC but would rather not wipe everything. Is each version optimized in some way to the kernel or are they interchangeable? Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
getting ready to flash! backing up data! hows the browser is it like the 1.5 & 1.6 builds with brightness under menu tab... or like 1.7 under the more settings tab? i only ask because i was able to disable auto brightness by maxing to 100% in the 1.5 browser but in 1.7 it was like even at 100% it dimmed out a little in the browser... and i hate auto brightness i always have this beaut fired up 100%!!
