Please DO NOT switch to the old modem! Many of us could not get a stable 3G connection before the JI4 modem. Even when I had a 3G connection, any attempt to actually USE data resulted in losing the 3G down to EDGE. With JI6 I get a good 3G connection and the highest speeds I've had on this phone.

At the very minimum, offer both versions. But don't just assume that your local network conditions reflect everyone else's.
[Vibrant Android Development] deecampp:
I'm having issues updating some apps from the market since installing 1.7. It just hangs on "starting download" until I cancel it. How can I fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Definitely a bug. Volume down then back up fixes it, but only for the duration of the current call. The only semi-permanent workaround is to enable HAC Mode in call settings, which increases overall call volume. Though the bug will still be present, the baseline is much higher.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Great, I'm back on Edge all the time. TYVM. What about the JI4 modem, did it have the battery issue also?

I guess I'll go back to stock rooted so I can have a real modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
Any one else having issues DL the ROM from Media Fire?

Edit:: Rebooted my laptop and it DL immediately, nandroiding and installing new 1.7!!

i'm unable to download th oc/uv without voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
Totally sweet rom! I did a double take this morning after I woke up and checked my phone... the battery percentage had barely moved. I was convinced that something was wrong, but here I am hours later and the battery life is indeed --> phenomenal. MILES better than anything I've had before.

The only issue I'm having is that my auto rotation is broken. Promise to post a logcat later on as I'm running out the door.

Gentlemen, FANTASTIC WORK!
[Vibrant Android Development] christpuncher:
1.7 is great. My only gripe is that the puzzle unlock/epic unlock is gone due to the different msg app. That epic unlock screen with the slide down was my favorite lock screen ever. Other than that, great work as always.
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Same, it won't initiate the download, it just hangs on "starting download". Reflashed, rebooted, etc, no difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Yay! Gtfo. Seriously, read up and do it yourself. Replacing the j12 modem to the j16 modem will take you less then 3 min if you did a little research. Don't bash on anybody for your own stupidity. Be thankful that people are doing this for free.

Which version of the ROM are you using?

You are whining like a selfish little *****, quit thinking about yourself.
[Vibrant Android Development] willcwells:
I'm noticing problems with the market widget. It's always blank. Not that that is a problem. I don't use the widget, just happened to notice the problem.

Great work, thanks for this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Working great so far. will test GPS in about an hour.

Any chance of getting a fix for samsung_feeds.apk widget? or a how to get it installed?

Its been on all 1.6 roms and i love the widget.

it would be a +10 if its here. :)

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
+1. seriously, i agree. just be happy that their are talented devs that are willing to do all this work out there for FREE. also, im not noticing TERRIBLE connection with j12 vs j16... although it might seem a little worse? i dunno if this is placebo effect though... haha
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
The Android XDA App DOES have a search. At the top of the screen where the tabs are, there is a tab on the far right that says "More" click that. Search is the third option down.

Good, go back to stock rooted so we don't have to read your posts. If you don't like the options in the ROM, DON'T FLASH IT. The changes are clearly posted in the OP. You know what modem your getting in 1.7. There is absolutely no reason why you should be an ass about it. (And just an FYI: Android is almost 100% customizable, if you don't like an option, you can almost certainly change it.) Grow up.

After being witness to some of the people in this thread, I think I can clearly understand why some devs like Cyanogen are the way they are. I am not even a dev and I am getting to the point I don't even want to read the forums for fear I may lose it and end up getting myself banned.
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterColdSoul:
I am sticking with 1.6 because I prefer that modem. I rarely get 3G with anything other than JI6 modem, so it helps and when you get crappy coverage being able to hold your phone and use it is nice. Without JI6 I almost always have to set my phone down to get a good enough data connection to use.

With that said I finally donated, :) (because I finally got a little cash)

Hope that little bit helps be part of what your getting to make this worth your time Bionix your doing a great job.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Here is the stock JI6 (Bionix 1.6) MMS app. I saved it in case I decided I wanted to revert back, but Viralblack's skinned MMS is just too awesome! Note that in my testing, it fc and doesn't seem to work, but maybe someone can fix it.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Unfortunately, this is something I can't test because I don't have a FFC. I just added the software for support.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
If you use the stock TW mms.apk, you will not be able to send or receive picture messages. We took it out for a reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] sinean:
Installed bionix 1.7 voodoo have odd charging issue

Was going to reset the battery meter so I ran the battery down. I then shut the phone off. Plugged in the power supply and the phone booted. Once booted I shut it down again. The phone powered back on. Looked in the settings but didn't find anything for this issue. Problem is anytime the charger is connected it will power on. Shut down with charger connected and it just reboots. Can't charge phone while off with the charger attached. What am I missing?

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
ok wierd thing. I flashed Modem bin JI6 and my battery meter dropped 20% up boot, I tried flashing back to JI2 via zip and it didnt work a few times, battery booted the same each time. I then ODINed to JI2 and it worked and I got the 20% battery back. lol

so its true, JI2 Gives 20% more battery. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Lol...this is a new one. I don't know of any setting that tells the phone to boot when you have it plugged in. you may want to try flashing the rom again.
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
Or you could just go to where the ji6 modem.bin is boosted and switch it out yourself and keep 1.7. You're a drama queen. Be grateful, and find some of your own solutions. I'm a noob at this process and even I know you can do that.
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
also having this problem, any way to fix this? also even when it says its starting to download the market loads over itself, you can still see the starts for the app. Going back to 1.4 for now
[Vibrant Android Development] opentofalling:
No kidding... How can someone have nearly 300 posts without understanding this is a development forum? If you can't develop; your job is to test, report, thank, and stfu. If your **** is broken and you can't fix it yourself, ask for help in Q&A. I mean, wtf:
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ill share more later for anyone reading, but I managed to make my system "Launcherless" after a suggestion from someone CM side, Its uber sexy. My battery is still kickin so I cant do it before its done draining, but ill get some screenshots later.

Odd question - When moving the 1.7 rom over to update I found my memory was full. Took me awhile but even when I was deleting things and it was still showing as full. I'm finding I have a lot of folders and left over files from old apps I've installed and then deleted. What's the best way to clean the internal memory to leave just the things I need? Should I use the restore to factory settings and then reinstall 1.7? I hate that uninstalling apps doesn't take away all of the files it installed!
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
just my insight on the Modem Bins.

There so super easy to flash, just play with em and find which one works the best.... Doesnt even take 3 mins, takes like 30 seconds.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
I agree, but anyone who thinks they can test the battery before the stats are reset the first time doesnt understand their hardware.

I HAVENT even finished my first reset, how could you lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Thanks to Master, Simbionix, and ViralBlack for the awesome update.

I just realized that the Android Market includes the "update all" option. Sweet!

Also, I'm curious what was included in JI6 that boosted 3G speeds. I'd rather have better battery life so I'm not going to reflash the modem, but the speed was noticeably fast. Sitting at home and running the speed test, I get about 1.6mbps with the JI2 modem. On the JI6 modem I was getting 4+. Pretty drastic difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
For those of you having sound issues, I don't know that you could fix anything by messing with settings... but if you wanted to experiment.. I would check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735918.. Maybe messing with your headset settings? dunno as i don't have that issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lavundra21:
I downloaded the 1.7 stock and tried to flash it but for some reason it won't install.. It just says that it can't install.. I don't have voodoo installed or anything.. What's the problem? Can anybody help..
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Well what are your errors? How are you trying to install it?

You must be rooted & use clockwork installed to do this
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Ok, for everyone who REALLY REALLY REALLY wants the JI6 modem, I've added new links to the OP. You now have the option to download bionix 1.7 with the JI2 or JI6 modem. enjoy!
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
you think maybe the leaked JI6 modem had battery drain and maybe the Official dont? Or do you think their both the same?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
From what we can tell, they are both the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
@sombionix check your PM's
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
I'm sticking with JI2 for awhile, but wow. You are the man. Always giving people options.

Please don't burn yourself out trying to keep up with all the complainers.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
You just don't like my phone staying the same for more than 24 hours, do you?

PS: Just checked out your sig. You should check out sombionix's new ROM. Its a ton better than 1.5
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Hmm, Ok thanks.. SO far no issues on this rom. Its rocking smooth..Good work.
[Vibrant Android Development] RickROM:
I wanted to try 1.7 with the JI6 Modem, and I was just about to search for how to replace JI2 on my own. You just made my day by posting the JI6 option. Thanks!!!

[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
Lovin' 1.7 so far... one question though, anyone know were I can grab the stock messenger .apk?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I got a question Bionix. When I had the N1 before we got official 2.2 the DEVS were able to port GIF files working over to 2.1. I there anyway to make this possible? Basically they just added the coding some how. Makes browser alot better IMO...
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
That is the stock messenger APK :D AOSP

(If you mean touchwiz theres one floating around, but personally id get used to seeing AOSP in the build, wont be long till touchwiz is gone imo)
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
once people recondition the battery, like it was posted 100 times earlier in the thread, it works much better. I been at 99-96% for about 45 minutes.

I was just in Marketplace and got a force close saying 'application layer' but it was during a download that halted so im wondering if it lost it's connection. I've noticed it's really poor connectivity with this one SO FAR, but i'm sticking with this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
Mmkay, I'll try out this one then. Worst case, there is always Handcent. :)

And by TWiz being gone- do you mean you intend to replace the launcher sooner or later?
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
goddamn bionix, what a nice guy.
[Vibrant Android Development] DroidDavi:
i know this doesnt have to much to do with the rom but i love the game alchemy and i want to beat it but everytime i flash a new rom it resets and i have to start all over does anyone know of a way i could keep my game save i want to go to 1.7 but i dont want to start over
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
Odin question

I'm thinking of experimenting between all of the modem types for speed only. Not going to do the battery tests =) Anyway, can i just drop the .bin file in the PDA slot, or does it have to be a tar archive.

Also, can I just drop a zip in the PDA slot or is it only tar archives? thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
you put the bin in the Phone spot. as far as a zip i flash via clockwork..
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
So I give up I'm buying a new battery something bigger. I reconditioned my battery just like Matt said.let it die then charge over night click work and then write battery status. I'm on 87% after about maybe about an hour of mostly texting very light web usage and now xda. We should just get used to the fact that samsung screwed us on the battery and the gps which bionix fixed. :) and now I'm on 86% god damn it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
What version/modem are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Eventually AOSP will have to take over, TWiz is a battery draining and generally evil monster inside your phone.

I can always skin one to look kinda the same, but its better without it there.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Yea, regardless what you do the battery is not the best. The second they release a Seidio 3200 Im on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
Ah, thanks! Well- guess that info solidifies the switch to Zeam for me! I'm good with this messenger UI, brings back memories from the myTouch 3G I had before this phone (except, without the lagging and whatnot!).

1.6 2 days ago and now 1.7?? If other devs develop games/apps this fast, they will make lots of money and lots of fans (that dont flame them for bugs and ****)

let me thank simbionix for his dedication. i will be donating soon after testing...

anyway, so i was having this google earth freeze with setcpu and force shutdown after 2.5 hours of music playback with 1.6 and 1.5.. actually, my file system and partitions were kind of a mess because of testing different kernels and lagfixes and roms so the phone sdcard should pretty much be too fragmented or messed up.

i finally decided to literally write down every app i have, and every contact info in my contacts on a piece of paper so i can do a FULL reset. I did the Official Vibrant backup images to restore my baseband, file system, and original firmware. i also did an unmount and format of the internal sd, so all my music, photos and other **** in there were removed too.

So it was a fresh install. I re-rooted, but this time I didnt install a custom kernel beforehand. I went straight and installed Bionix 1.7 (opposed to what i did before, custom kernel, then bionix). The problem now is, I got too excited with it that after the first boot (after installing the rom), I went and downloaded some apps for testing right away.. I didnt reboot one more time. Will this cause problems in the future?

So far the battery life is good. 1.5% consumed per around 30minutes of 200Mhz-1.2Ghz OC with music playback at half volume and locked screen. been 2 hours and the battery is 92%. im testing this issue i had previously that it will just shut off after 2hours of playback. next will be 3D graphics with OC and i will see if it hangs the phone again after 10minutes of runtime.

*PS:

oh yeah, the opening and closing sounds are smexy!

Hey Sombio and team, thanks again for your awesome work, time for a much needed rest :D

It's really not a big issue at all but I was wondering if there is anything I can do myself to get the Live Wallpapers not working up and running?

Anyone else find that both Bionix and Eugene's JI6 roms take long to activate Bluetooth? Or is this an issue with Jac's kernels? I tried both OC/UV and Voodoo.

Did you use safari or Chrome ? If so use FireFox

[Vibrant Android Development] aforismo:
im on firefox
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
depends how you rebooted with ROM Manager.

because as far as i know it's supposed to be /sdcard/update.zip, not cache directory....

if you chose "INSTALL ROM FROM SDCARD", there is a chance you'll get that error.

so this time try "REBOOT INTO RECOVERY" and when in Clockwork Recovery, select

"INSTALL SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP"

N900 hacking is easier... :(

Thank you to everyone that put work into this. I really appreciate it.

I successfully got it to work my first try. It was my first time flashing anything and it was super easy.

I had a question, and before I ask it, I know quadrant scores do not mean anything BUT

Should I be getting 1600-1750 with this installed? Because I do.
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
So any1
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Yes, that is the Android screen of death. If you had voodoo installed prior, you'll need to flash Eugene's 2.2 rom then downgrade etc. Follow the instructions on the OP.

To get to download mode, pull the battery. Start odin, make sure you have your, hold the volume keys, put the battery back in (while still holding the volume keys), connect the USB cable (still holding the keys). You should be in download mode. Flash away. :D

JI2 has lower better battery consumption

JI6 has better Data Connection but uses more Battery
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
Thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
JI6 sucks more battery. JI2 gives you better battery life.

JI6 gets slightly better 3G speeds.

So you have to choose better battery life or slightly better 3G.

As for the technical differences, I have no idea what has been tweaked in the modem files.

EDIT: Doh! Too slow.
