Ive looked in search etc. "Long time lurker first time poster"

Love the rom! Ive only noticed one problem. Ive only used the return to stock rom and the update I was unlucky enough for the OTA to soft brick my phone

I recently had it soft brick again on my when I tried to update lagfix So I bravely installed 1.9

Amazing ROM smooth as Butter, I'm having one problem and after rebooting plenty of times, its still a problem I haven't seen anyone else reporting it so Im hoping its a fluke. and maybe I should reinstall. I am using the voodoo OC/UV version

The problem is My screen when timing out Wont come back on, the phone is working the touch is working as It happened during a call once when the sensor told the screen to turn off. the phone works the touchscreen works everything works you just cant see it. :confused:

The only way to recover is a soft or hard boot. or try to navigate touch buttons from memory.

Advice anyone?

Im using set cpu to moderate at 200/1200

I tried going 200/1000 but still nothing changes, Tries turning off auto adjust, leaving it on

adjusting timeout settings, etc

the only way for it not to do it is to have the screen alive ALL the time.

I had the phone stock with the One click lag fix and was quite happy but now that Ive tasted a better rom I don't really want to go back

Edit: Just read OP again and it seems 1.9.1 is released to remove my problem LOL This post is huge Sorry. I will try that.
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
Um on 1.9.1...just havent changed my sig. Lol

Samsung Vibrant 1.6 Bionix/Voodoo on Zeam Launcher
[Vibrant Android Development] rkenley:
I can get into "samsung recovery utils" nd i tried to reinstall packages but i get

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

installation aborted

Don't know what happened here it was there when i deleted the disable-lagfix file.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Ok I have a pretty easy question I think...

I flashed Bionix 1.9.1 which comes with the JI6 modem. Later on I flashed the JI2 modem, but when i go to settings it still shows my baseband as JI6. Is that normal?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Try setting SetCPU on Conservative. That is the recommended setting.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Yes that is normal because the build.prop does not get changed with the .zip update.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kealiisr:
I like how they don't read earlier posts or carefully for that matter.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thanks for the quick reply grendel! I thought it was normal but just wanted some verification. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Oh haha, well change it man lol... lots of people go by whats in your sig... ;)

Oh and thanks you now confirmed I should stay on 1.8, lol.... good to know...
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
okay im at the airport right now and my phone has literally dropped the call every 2 min, as this place keeps switching from edge to 3g and drops my call every time it does it

1.3 w/ kings kernal

Well, I have a few hours to decide if I am brave enough to do this (still at work). Has anyone else had success flashing a different version of bionix 1.3 on top of 1.3 stock?

Thanks for the quick reply!! Now, i did read that Terminal Emulator doesn't like spaces and i saw there were some spaces in the command. Are those okay or do you have to do something in those spaces?
[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
Just rooted lastnight and flashed the ROM with voodoo lag fix. I noticed that sometimes the power button doesn't wake the phone when it sleeps. Had to pull battery out a few times. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
I am running ver 1.3 with voodoo lag fix for 3 days.haven't noticed this.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
So i've really only used eugene's work up to this point. But seeing as the current update3 i'm on has the cell standby issue (and I want to avoid Odin), i just had a few questions. I'm running kings kernel and FW3 currently. If I download the bionix with kings kernel and flash in clockwork it will work just fine? A wipe is no problem I just want to make sure it will flash ok over eugene's ROM. I am not currently running a lag fix.

And for those running bionix with kings kernel, how are you liking it? Anyone try more than one of these and have a hands on comparison? I've heard the lagfix is more of a placebo than anything so i'm really not persuaded to voodoo, more concerned about having good battery life. Thanks in advance guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
Hmm. Weird. Was working great last night. Just started this morning. Must be a rogue app. Ill mess around with it or re flash rom if I have to and report back. Thanks bro.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I think you'll be fine, the rom automatically does a wipe so that's not necessary
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, you can flash other versions on top of 1.3 stock. However, if you decide to flash the voodoo version, and then decide to flash something else on top of that, you MUST disable the voodoo lagfix first!
[Vibrant Android Development] InvisibleHero:
1.3 w/ kings kernal

Thanks... That's all I needed to know.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
I've encountered that problem when I OC and "Set on Reboot" under SetCpu before I reboot my phone. Happened once, then, I wiped all data under ClockworkMod and tried it again and it did the same thing. So now I don't select "Set on Reboot" to avoid that problem and have stayed clear of it so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] dmtaub:
Just wanted to post that I love your ROM Sombionix. I am currently running 1.3 w/ King Kernal and it is fantastic. No lag fix on it and it still is lightning quick and the battery life is fantastic. Forgot to plug it in last night and only lost a little over 10% even with e-mails coming in all night.

Looking forward to your next incarnation. Your work is fantastic. Thank you for giving us an even kick-assier phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
yup, flashed the voodoo version on top with no issues, only time you have to worry about it is if you have the voodoo lag fix applied, even then you just have to disable it before flashing to whatever else
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Moderate usage..

Sent from my Vibrant (which is soon to force close this very app :D)
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
Yeah, happened when i played with setcpu, now i just have it go from 200 min to 1.2 max and havent encountered the problem
[Vibrant Android Development] InvisibleHero:
Thanks for the reassurance. I really like the 1.3 stock ROM but have just heard too much good stuff about 1.3 w/kings to pass it up. I can't wait to get off work...:D
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the great compliments. Sorry I haven't been answering as many questions in the forum the past day or two, I've been crazy busy working on Bionix1.4, a stable froyo release, answering questions in the thread, and moderating the forums at the same time. Thanks to everyone who has been helping answering questions in the thread, its a huge weight off my shoulders at the moment.

Thanks for being patient, Bionix1.4 is just around the corner. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
HOLY CRAP :eek:... Did you say Bionix1.4 is going to be a froyo release? Or are you working on two different releases?

Also, I see why your GF is threatening to throw your computer out. Oh well who needs GF's anyway? Ive been much happier ever since tossing my wifey out the window all those years ago, at least the computer was safe. j/k, I didnt toss her out the window, just wished I had...

@ dmtaub, Love the kick-assier comment, so true...
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No, 1.4 will still be based off 2.1, but I am trying to mix some froyo in with it. The froyo release I'm working on is a totally different rom. In fact, its already up, but still working out some kinks. Just need to fix 3.5mm jack, gps, finish remapping the buttons correctly, and of course...JIT.

[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
The kingklicks kernel really doesn't need the lag fix. It is fast and silky smooth. The only big benefit you'll see with the lag fix is a higher quad score - if that is what you're after. That will be in contrast to probably lesser battery life. So you decide, better quad score or better battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Keep the spaces. I think you might have read earlier that it didn't like "backspace" character but that issue has since been fixed a while ago. Just make sure you have the latest update from the market for the "Android Terminal Emulator" by Jack Palevich (what I used) and you should be good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] funkyu00:
get into rom manager and flash clockwork mod, reboot into recovery mode, and try it again.
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Most people probably do. This thread is huge and has LOTS of information, sometimes conflicting information and therefore its not always clear. In the case of GPS, many people report it does work, and for me it was working fine on 1.8. When I went to 1.9 I had a few issues. Sure, I can stay quiet and not post a question but I felt that there was a *chance* this could be a regression since it was working for me before. I feel it's worth using a few pixels on the screen to raise a potential issue instead of ignoring it. In reality, your big red post waisted more space and people's time than the GPS questions. If GPS is not an issue and the post is just redundant then it's real easy to skip over, but maybe some of devs think GPS should be working correctly and when they see the post they can start to investigate. I'd rather have a little to much info than not enough.

The bottom line is, people who are going to search will search. Those who aren't wont and they wont spend time reading all the posts telling them too either. Why would they? They didn't spend time looking for an answer, so they probably aren't going to see your posts about searching, either. At this point people know about search and if they aren't using it, they probably wont start to.

Search is great and answers a lot of questions (it has for me). We would probably have many more posts if people weren't using it. But, unfortunately, it is not the answer to everything. There is a lot of gray when using search (like with GPS). I think everyone on here means well and we are all trying to make Android the best it can be.
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
yeah, disabling/enabling Voodoo makes the phone hang on the boot screen for several minutes but after that it is all gravy.
[Vibrant Android Development] rkenley:
I cant get into rom manager, the screen never loads up to access any apps. just stays black after the Galaxy S start screen. I truely eff'd this one up.
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
For whatever reason, I'm finding 1.9.1 to be even smoother and quicker than 1.9. Perhaps it's the placebo effect.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
You my friend have a classic case of Soft-Brick. I've had it before, and many others have too. The easiest way I know of to get your phone back up and running is to follow the steps in the OP under the heading: "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out."

Follow those instructions EXACTLY and you will be back up and running in no time.

It isn't placebo, its Sombionix. He is amazezezing!
[Vibrant Android Development] badazyelaboi:
So, nobody else has the issue of the market not downloading? And gmail not pushing emails right away?
[Vibrant Android Development] badazyelaboi:
You didn't provide a FIX. I NEVER restore system data with titanium, and my market is still broken. also, gmail won't sync. What you provided is something that worked for you. But i don't think this fixes the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] kiddiosky:
Anyone actually think their phone is draining their battery faster.. I have the same problem. But I just fully charged my phone too 100% and when I unplugged it, it went down to 96% right away. I think something is wrong with the indicator...

After 96%, I charged it again.. and it popped up the sign that said my phone is fully charged.. I unplugged it.. 97%

Did the same again > 98%

Did the same again > 99%

I'm trying to get too 100% and do the Battery Stats Wipe.. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Dallas2214:
Sorry if off topic but is there another way to unlock besides sgs unlock from app market it didnt find my code using bionix 1.8 thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] tony yayo:
Ok, before anyone asks I have searched this forum and read probably at least a third of it but I still have a few questions and hope you nice people will help. I installed 1.8 a few days ago. First, does it normally take hours for TB to restore your apps? I restored all system data too. Is that wrong to do and maybe why it took so long? Second, I installed the voodoo kernel but apparently its not working. Does this have something to do with my NAND and if so, how do I find out the size of my nand. Third, can I just flash 1.9 over it with maybe the KK kernel without having to ODIN back to stock? That is a process I am unfamiliar with and would like to avoid it completely if possible. And fourth, when I flashed 1.8, this was my first rom flash, I was afraid I had lost all my contacts even though I had restored everything. It did all come back after a reboot but was that the work of TB or a result of being in the "cloud"? I seem to remember reading something about signing in to google and that is what actually restores the contacts? Is it the same with pics, music, texts, etc? Sorry if this is a lot to ask but I've searched for hours and not getting the answer I need. Thanks for your help guys!

Also, is the voodoo lag fix supposed to automatically load if flashing the kernel? If voodoo is not enabled can I just use Ryan's lag fix? Would that help?
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Hours? Nope normally takes about 3 or 4 minutes if even that for 70 apps.

Make sure you do not have your phone plugged in and you are using mass storage. If you are Titanium can not read your internal memory.

I mention the above becasue I've messed up "once" doing that and didn't catch it.
[Vibrant Android Development] rkenley:
Thank you for the info, but i am truly losing my mind, how in hell do i open Odin? getting the hone into download mode is cake compared to the trouble im having in getting odin to work.

Thank you so much for all your help!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know if you will like my suggestion, but reflash, try the market first, then do your titanium backup. Maybe you will find that there is something wrong with your backup. As for me, when I flashed 1.9.1, I did my backup with titanium, didn't restore system data, tried the market, downloads hung for a while, closed the market, and in about 3 minutes, I looked and the notification bar showed that the downloads had completed and installed just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
i am having this issue too, talking to my gf on the drive home, i had 2 dropped calls yesterday, when normally i would never. Also i'm losing data connection here and there since i use google maps a lot, and now although the GPS does lock on pretty quickly, doesn't help if i don't have data to see the map.... is this a ROM issue?

btw, i'm running bionix 1.9 with stock kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] Scubba:
Can I use oclf with this rom
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Whenever you flash a custom rom you should NEVER restore system data with TB. As for your contacts if you don't have a gmail account go make one and save your contacts there and you will NEVER again lose your contacts. There was a post somewhere that told you exactly how to determine if voodoo will work for you nand chip... I'll poke around and see if i spot it. Doesn't really matter though b/c the way I understand it you can just flash the froyo that don't brick, downgrade back to stock, then flash Bionix and voodoo will work. As for your pics, texts, music, ect those are on your internal SD card and flashing a rom does not wipe that. When they say "wipes all data" they are referring to your settings and applications. Anyways, hope this helps!

EDIT: Here's how to determine your NAND chip size - ttp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8322865&postcount=131 (don't forget the "h" at the beggining!)
[Vibrant Android Development] ST4LKER:
Same issue here...and it drains quickly...
[Vibrant Android Development] Lancelaut:
I have had a better GPS since the JI6 update, however on stock Tmo rom or Bionix 1.7-1.0 my GPS is by far off from my ACTUAL location. Like if i'm in my ouse it says I am roughly 7-8 blocks north of my real position, but if I go outside, I can get within half a block of my real position. Hope this info is helpful to you? Its more of just a "let you know ur not alone post lol"

This is the link minus the first "h" to find out your nand chip

Also, Sombionix---

can we just update to 1.9.1 without it wiping all our data? If so How? I am using free titanium to hold my stock rom backup so i have to re-download apps and setup mail and contacts everytime I update a rom....getting boring lol, just wanna use the phone after the updates. Using Bionix 1.9 OC/UV Jacs

Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
That's a lot of crap for one person to wade through. I'll see what I can answer for you though. I don't have a lot of apps, so TB does not take long at all for me. If you want to be safe, don't back up system data (yes that means you have to set up contacts, home pages, and such). If you do back up system data and restore, it will bring back contacts, home screens and everything else, but might have bugs when you go from one rom to another. Read back a few pages as BRUCE responded to my several question on the same topic with good advice after his trials and errors. Thanks Bruce!

As for Voodoo, it could be a larger NAND, but you should do a little more research on how to find out if you have a larger NAND. I do not, so I have not had problems. TO BE SAFE, MAKE SURE YOU "DISABLE VOODOO" BEFORE TRYING ANOTHER ROM OR KERNEL

If you do not use TB to get your contacts back, you can do what I do. Save them to your google account, or even to your sim card (not as good because it does not save all date for each contact). Only the contacts that are actually saved on your phone will get deleted on a ROM flash.

Hope this helps some even if I didn't cover all your questions.

Your not suppose to unplug to reset battery stats. Leave it plugged in until you reset and reboot then unplug and drain
[Vibrant Android Development] jrkart99:
Definitely noticed that. Had 1.8 yesterday in my office, interior room. Unplugged fully charged at 7:30am by 8:30pm had 89%! Mostly in idle, no big use.

Flashed 1.9 last night. Unplugged at 7:30am after battery wipe, its 12pm here and I'm down to 70%.

I have noticed the reception is markedly improved though. i am going to drain battery all the way and see what happends. I feel that I didn't wipe at the right time, (and now my butt itches and my finger stinks....)
[Vibrant Android Development] kingjohniv:
I actually have tried all sorts of set cpu settings the OP actually ID's the problem and 1.9.1 hopefully is the fix Im flashing right now
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Thats the deal.

Reception vs battery life. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
You can try to get into recovery mode by holding down volume up/down + power to boot, then let go of power.

Yes, you just don't need the one with Voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
If you use OCLFv2 it will lose vibrate (unless that was fixed, but I don't think it has been). I use the LagFix posted in the OP and it works great. I prefer the ext2 fixes over Voodoo as its faster IMO.
[Vibrant Android Development] ShanDestromp:

Bionix 1.9, FFC, Lag Questions

Whiskey Team... thanks for all the hard work developing this, or thanks to all developers in general. I'm an IT guy but first Android and its very addicting. Ive done lag fix, camera, gps, morph's, swype w/ VI, even bricked my phone when the TMO update came out and learned how to use ODIN to get it back to stock then restore through Clockwork MOD.

Today, I got the FFC... Loaded the datapattern file and the mirror in 'hopes' that it would run with the mods I've made. Needless to say it didn't work. Just loaded the Bionix 1.9 (stock) and it's truly impressing. Still working on reinstalling everything (Did titanium but it doesn't seem to put everything back) but that's just time.

My question: It runs smooth but the Quadrant is pretty low. I know its' not that big of a deal but when I tried to install RyanZA lag fix again, it tells me that one is already installed. Secondly, when I try to run mirror it FC's on me so I cant verify that it is truly working.

Thanks for any help on this. And again... I appreciate all the hard work that everyone does here on the threads, I spend PLENTY of time just playing with my phone, I couldnt imagine the time some of you guys put into development. Feel free to PM me asking for donations. I have no problem paying for my apps, help, or further development.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Not sure if someone has answered this, but keep the usb cable plugged in at 100% while going into clockworkmod recovery to wipe battery stats, then you can unplug...
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
How often have you flashed without Odinning? Personally I notice that my quadrant scores slowly degrade with each flash until I Odin back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
You might want to download the ODIN package again. Try here:

Odin V1.3
[Vibrant Android Development] tony yayo:
Thanks for the help. So do I have to go through each contact and save it to google? No mass way of doing it I'm sure. I thought I had the contacts that I actually entered, not the ones synced through fb or whatever, saved to"phone" because I thought things linked better or something, I dunno. I didn't lose them so that's good. And so you say when I use TB to just restore the apps and not the system data? I don't mind putting bookmarks back in.
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
bahahahahaha
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Ok; great. A couple of additional questions:

How do you get your home page(s) icons back in place? Do they re-appear automatically following a Titanium restore, or do you put them back into place manually?

If you use the stock calendar, how do you get your appointments back?

How about your previously sent and received messages...do they restore from Titanium?

If you set a custom wallpaper, does that restore?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Bruce
