Sorry about that. Unzip the Bionix2.zip and place the resulting Bionix2 folder in /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/skins then you should be able to select it from within the BW skins. Most android file managers can unzip this package.

EDIT: You're using the Beautiful Widgets smaller skin and I used LauncherPro to take that screenshot so I could showcase all of the add-on items. LauncherPro doesn't have the home screen dots.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Should use the Dalvik Debug Utility in the SDK, makes taking screens a world easier. \SDK\Tools\ddms.bat

I WISH I could reach in and delete those stupid touchwiz dots though, they drive me nuts
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Yeah, I don't like those dots either. Be glad you're not on a Droid X, their implementation is even more annoying. Check out a youtube video of Droid X and watch their home screen switching implementation.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ill give you that, at least it hides when you arent using, but thats ugly...
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
So been using it for about a day now.

Crazy stable.

I noticed a few new things.

1: The black pulldown barr can hide notification text (if its not system notification, apps tend to use black as font and its not readable)

2: Battery seems to be draining fast even in idle with wifi and data off. I think it's a buggy app that is being vicious to the battery. I'm disabling them one by one now to see which one it is.

3: I CAN say this ROM actually fixes an issue I had where the phone was VERY laggy turning its screen on sometimes. (could take up to 10-15 sec...like it was frozen, but it wasn't). Completely gone now.

4: The IM app you have included is not terribly useful. It doesn't support facebook chat nor skype. If you want to include an IM, try IM+. It supports just about everything.

5: I STILL LOVE THE WALLPAPER SOOOO MUCH. K. I'm done.

6: Can't comment on the lockscreen. I like it more than stock but I use a screenlock disabler program (which works perfect with the ROM) so my screens is only on/off by the power button. No screenlock. If it was up to me, unlocking by pressing home key would be a FEATURE, not a bug. Lol :)

I'll report if I find anything else but umm...this seems MORE stable than Stock. And I was JUST running stock up to this morning. Crazy fast too :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Bionix, got that keyboard ripped and modded, check your mailbox :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I have a copy of android policy that integrated the stock android lock screen.

I have copies of the blue and green battery mods.

I guess I can get rid of these now that this stuff has been integrated into the ROM - cuts down on the amount of flashing that I have to do too. It's not often that I'm extremely happy with software, but this ROM is my new best friend.. even if it is a beta.
[Vibrant Android Development] metalfan78:
I'm using 1.4 beta, setcpu installed

, set to conservative, no profiles. It won't set on reboot. Anyone else experiencing this? Also, my market won't show my downloads after restoring with titanium and doing market fix and clearing caches. Thanks

Bionix 1.4 beta
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
Battery life while in idle was great over night. Ony went down 2% in about 5 hrs, No wifi, no gps, and no auto Sync.
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
It looks like update JI5 is coming real soon (see "JI5 via kies" topic). I checked my settings for an update and it gave me a new pop up which stated that "DM initialisation not ready. Check network or SIM card" our something to that affect, which is certainly different than the usual "no updates" pop up. Nevertheless, is this going to affect the release date of 1.4?

[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
JI4/JI5 use a different kernel, so I wouldn't plan on seeing any significant mods to that firmware for some time. Bionix is based off of JFD, so this shouldn't affect much, apart from maybe trying to snag any GPS changes from JI5 for inclusion...
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
Yes, I thought that it might have some stuff to include and delay the release.

ok i have installed the bionix1.3 ith voodoo lagfix.. went thru the process.. but i cannot install any addtional program from the market.. can i just re-install?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Wouldn't hurt, but I've seen other reports of trouble with the Market this morning. It's not necessarily on your end of things.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Okay, I just saw this post where somebody figured out how to buy the missing Front Facing Camera for the Vibrant:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770854

The camera is here (I just ordered 2): http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-Samsung-i9000-Camera-Flex-Cable-p/smsng6087125.htm

The OP stated that he thought that Eugene373 may be working on the software for this...If so, is there any chance of incorporating it into the bionix rom? I'd HAPPILY pay for a camera for you, and donate more besides, if it means me being able to have video chats with my wife while I'm out of the country!
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
weird... maybe i'm the only one, but i flashed the 1.3 klick rom and my gps was 100% useless. gmaps couldnt find me standing outside in a 100% open area, lbstest showed 0-1 sats...

i saw the comment about how he left the gps settings as standalone and changed back to ms based, 20m accuracy within 16 seconds or so.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
i wanted to say thanks for pointing this out, i hadnt gone back to that thread in awhile and was unaware they figured it out!
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'm not sure I like the thought of drilling a new hole in the front of my phone to accommodate this new ffc.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
First or second quarter of next year the Galaxy S2 is due to release. Ill probably snag that rather then drill into my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Read the whole thread...the OP ended up not drilling the hole. He used denatured alcohol and a razor blade to carefully remove the paint from the inside of the glass. :)

observation on 1.4B

i charged my phone yesterday till it said batt full, i unplugged in and as soon i hold it in my hand it said 99%, i did not bother recharging, left it on, woke up in the morning with 98% wow 8hrs, then once my alarm kept ringing (for a while) it dropped to 97%, i plug it back in for charge went to restroom and came back(2-3 min) it said charged 100%, i unplugged in 1-2 min it says 97% again, i make couple calls it dropped down to 96% which is normal, was wondering if anyone else noticed it

and ya nothing is running in the background

this whole time wifi is off, gps is off, bt is off, no over clocking done, running everything stock from 1.4B

and a question, what glue do u really use to hold the batter to 1% for 8 hours?

my guess, gorilla glue
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Wow the auto brightness works great on beta 1.4

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Have you given any thought as to including some alternate fonts? I'll use the Facit font (my favorite) as an example, it has a cleaner look IMHO.

Here is the difference between the default font (top) and the Facit font (bottom):

Facit font screenshot:

There is a huge list of fonts in this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
So stoked for this to drop--of all the roms I have used, B1.3 was tits. Now B1.4 is almost ready and I am about to **** my pants. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:

The droid X has a terrible UI.
[Vibrant Android Development] huasamaya:
i have my phone rooted using "one click root" and "Ryan "One click lag fix", also the vibrant-JI2-GPS fix installed in my phone. Do i need to remove all this before flashing to Bionix?, or Am i save to just do it without removing anything?.
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
I was using the same thing. I took off the lagfix, then flashed the rom via Rom Manager. (You may not need to remove three lagfix, but I was being cautious.) Works great! I did not install the Voodoo lagfix as it seems a bit tricky, but I have not missed the lagfix at all. I am, however, using the UV	OC. Everything is running amazingly well.

[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Fixed a lot of the problem last night that were reported from 1.4 beta testers. Still have a few more things to tie up then its all done. Unfortunately, I'm super busy at work today so final changes will probably have to wait until I get off work. Huge thanks to all the testers, this release should be damn near flawless because of your feedback. I think I need to beta test more often.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
I love you!
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'm always willing to help :)
[Vibrant Android Development] winhwah:
I know you're super busy, but will you be able to release it today? I am so damn excited... Thanks for your hard work though!
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
Put me on the list when you need to beta test. I would love to help and give feedback!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
You good at editing images? I have a small project that would knock one thing off my list.
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
Put me on your tester list as well...

Been with you since the good 'ole days of v.1...payday is a comin...for you and me. I'll drop a few pennies in your bucket. Looking forward to 1.4. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Awesome Sombionix - Please add me to the beta testers list, Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] haiishq:
i can try to give it a shot for you

[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
That's right buddy ;) :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Never responds to PMs guy :P

that APK I stripped out and blackened is in your box, if you need anything else yell
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Sweeet dude! Thanks! Um, actually, you know how to edit png images with alpha channels? I have a very small project that consists of 4 images. It would really help me out and knock it off my list of things to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Sure, just send them at me in the format you want them out in. CS5 is pretty good with the encoding.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yup, Been playing with 1.4 Beta2 all today. I haven't found one thing wrong :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'm great at this. What can I help with?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Well if you open up my rom, its the 4 images under:

system>framework>twframework-res.apk>res>drawable-hdpi

Its the 4 'quick_panel_icons' that are blue when pressed. I need the colors changed to hex#:

00a8ff
[Vibrant Android Development] metalfan78:
I've been testing since last night, I will beta test for you anytime. Thanks for the great roms.

Bionix 1.4 beta
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Probably only need to edit quick_panel_button_press.9.png
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
the only one marked like that is "quick_panel_list_stroke" and quickcontact_badge, nothing under quick_panel_icon. Different name maybe?

(sidenote, I should have broken this open a long time ago, theres a cornucopia of fun things to change in here)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Are you wanting all four of those icons to appear the same as quick_panel_button_press.9.png ?

EDIT: I think I'm looking at the wrong icons too.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Nice think is I THINK I found where the skinning is for the Stock Keyboard, I dont think I need the LatinIME.apk at all, I should be able to change them right in here. Ill have to reskin them and test it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
These icons. There are a total of 8 in the folder for these. 4 are white when they are deompressed, 4 are this blue color when pressed. I just need the 4 blue icons changed to #00a8ff
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
I've being running since I unplugged this morning at 7:30am and re calibrated the battery. I have attached a screen shot of the battery usage.

Beta 1.4.2 has been operating extremely well. I have not encountered any FCs nor self-reboots.

Thanks again for allowing me to be part of this beta project Sombionix.

Please count on me on any beta testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] outllaw:
i looooooooved 1.3 only issue i saw was unreadable text via notify bar when recieveing a bluetooth file transfer, my wish is for bionix to be on the newest fw that would be hella pimp
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
I see which ones youre referencing now, but theres not anything like that in this folder, at least those four. You sure theyre going to be in drawable-hdpi?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Positive. twframework-res.apk>res>drawable-hdpi

What program are you using? Download 7zip and navigate through folders with that.
[Vibrant Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Just a quick question. I was going to wait to try voodoo rather than the traditional lagfix until 1.4 came out, but since ya'll are still finalizing it for stability and awesomness, im going to go ahead and apply 1.3 with voodoo. My question is, can i just apply that rom over my current lagfix in clockwork as normal, and how does voodoo apply? is it automatic? Also, should i just hold off and wait for 1.4...kinda annoying titaniuming constantly, lol. Thanks again for the killer rom sombionix!
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Full extract via APK Manager, Ill grab 7z
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Could you please post briefly the process to caliberate battery. I am unable to do it properly after multiple attempts of charging/discharging and wipe from clockwork recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
If you can't find the images, no worries. I can just do them later. I'm stuck at work all day doing ASIII coding all day and I want to rip my eye balls out.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
How's this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ive scanned through these 910 images about three times now, not seeing the pulldown icons in blue or white.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
That's sexy!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I think you may have been looking through framework-res.apk instead of twframework-res.apk.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
They're not indexed, does that matter?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
You win, APK manager must just fail at extraction
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
......................>.> maybe lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I've written a user review of the Bionix ROMs and plan to submit it to some of the online android news sites.

Check it out
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Ooooo....FYI. I found this out the hard way. APK manager won't decompile an already edited framework-res or twframework-res correctly. You have to take a stock, unedited deodexed apk and use it. Kind of annoying, but its some kind of bug in the program. This is only in regards to the framework apk's
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Very good to know, and for reference I found those images about 10 seconds after decompiling the RIGHT apk lol Its still early for me, I fail at reading comprehension
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Damn...I'm behind a friggin proxy that's blocking me from viewing that site. I'll have to wait until I get home from work.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Oh, and with 7zip, if you just right click any bionix.zip file and select open archive, it will bring you into the root of rom. You can easily navigate through all the folders. If you go into system>framework for example, then double click the framework-res.apk, it will decompile on the fly in the same screen. Then you can highlight lets say....drawable-hdpi, select the extract option at the top of the 7zip screen, and extract all the images to a location of your choice and view and edit them all.

Unfortunately, the only thing it won't decompile are the xml files which have to be decompiled with apk manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
OR we can change it to this.

edit: yeah I pulled 7z down and installed it, was doing the same thing with winrar till I realized it was screwing the XML files somehow extracting that way, so I just moved to decompiling as a whole to get the right parts

SIDENOTE: Pretty sure the framework.apk has the default keyboard skinning in it, should be able to throw the images I gave you into the new framework youre compiling
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Those 4 icons I sent you aren't indexed. Do you need me to index them?
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
@Ardchoille hehehe not bad...
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Dude...that review is AWESOME! Thanks so much! Its always nice to hear good things about all the loooooong hours and hard work I've put into this. It definitely keeps me motivated, because believe me, there are times (like last night) that I want to throw my computer through window. This project was originally supposed to be a few modifications, but after I realized that these phones we all spent so much money on kind of....well....sucked, I wanted to do something for the whole community. Thanks again everyone!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes please. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Well, hopefully a few of us can help make you a Team Bionix rather then Super busy working by himself Bionix ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
haha yeah that would be cool :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Email w/ attchments sent. I tweaked the color to be closer to 00a8ff and indexed them. Hope they suffice.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Indeed. This is one project that I am extremely happy about., and only wish I could do more to help.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Just need to tie him down for about 5 minutes and make him stop coding long enough to share lol (provided I modify the right APKs and XMLs right lol)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'm great with graphics, can't code to save my life, though. sombionix is great with coding and graphics, that's pretty rare. Usually a person is good with one or the other, but not both. I have been using Linux as my sole OS for 9 years and I've only seen a small handful of folks who work well on both sides.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Im adobe certified and do well in flash and photoshop but im better with component level electronics, communications and networking. CCNE for ATT.

BUT, Im a quick study lol thankfully.
[Vibrant Android Development] ledbetter.james:
No FB Sync?

So I got Bionix loaded up and am loving the differnce. The only issue is that my Facebook isnt syncing. Has anyone experianced this. its really erping me because I use it a lot.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Works for me... Try to reboot?
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterColdSoul:
Anyways if there is anything I can do, which would prob only be testing at this point I am well versed in flashing and using RUU (Odin) so if you need another tester please add me to the list Bionix.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Nothing involves ODIN...
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Did you restore your data/apps with Titanium Backup?
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterColdSoul:
No problem. Flashing is always easier anyways :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ledbetter.james:
I've rebooted several times its telling me it cant even log in, when I set up facebook as an account. yet the FB app and bloo are working just fine. Thanks for the prompt help.
[Vibrant Android Development] ledbetter.james:
Negative, I had to reload all my apps. I gues there is a mre efficiant way of doig this stuff. Live and learn. But FB should be able to sync up as long as I downloaded ity right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Make sure you are typing you password right... That swype keyboard can be tricky :)
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
I've been on bionix 1.4 beta 1 since yesterday and the battery has been amazing, except for when listening to music with the stock music player. Down to 82% from 100 in just 20 minutes with the screen off. This doesn't seem normal. Anyone else experience this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Nope, But I will try it later with Pandora (Witch would use more battery)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I have heard that the stock music player is a power hog. Try Meridian, it's been better from my experience.
[Vibrant Android Development] senfoo:
feverishly waiting for the 1.4 release... truely amazing rom! great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
Cool thanks. I'll give it a try. I really like the stock player for the lockscreen and notification bar controls, but if it eats battery like this it will have to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] ledbetter.james:
Thanks that was my 1st thought but I made sure for it to show me my password. Heeeeeeelp :-( I really don't want to go back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
Thats awesome!
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I honestly don't think it is Bionix, I haven't had this problem.. Try to re-flash
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I'd have to agree with that. Went back to complete straight-from-the-store-stock last night just for kicks and to compare when 1.4 comes out. Was using the stock music app off and on for 3 hours today and it has almost killed the battery. Might have to do with the EQ settings and how they are handled.?
[Vibrant Android Development] werdz2:

Hi

Hi guys i notice a few problems when installing this rom..

i installed the "Bionix1.3 w/voodoo lagfix and OC kernel" version.

and when i plug in my earphone and turn the device off then turn it back on, i notice that when i play music or listen to any audio the sound doesn't go through the earphones but rather on the phone itself.. so then i have to remove the earphone and plug it back in again to let the sound come through the earphones. do you guys have any idea what's going on?

by the way thank you so much sombionix for this superb and brilliant rom =)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Were working in that thread to get the files from the encoded transmission from samsung servers opened. Once thats opened the image can be deodexed and played with.

Probably just another day or so for 1.4...

--given the chatter in these last 10-20 posts, it looks like the final touches are being added and although I'm not making the final decision, my guess is we are 24-36 hours away (or less) from 1.4-final. So if you can wait, you are probably better off. If you do go the 1.3 + voodoo, I've done both the .zip that Sombionix has in this post as well as the stock 1.3 and then adding the voodoo lag fix on top of it. Both work just as well. "Linda" the computer talks to you when you put voodoo over the ROM. Just make sure you don't have any other lag fix because that will cause you grief. Good luck. :D
