Bruce, I'm not trying to start a war or even an argument; but in my experience this is patently false. OR at the very least, there is something else going on that causes problems for some but not others. As I (admittedly quickly) stated previously I do a full Titanium backup moments before flashing, and then once the flash (and appropriate reboot) are complete, I sign in to the market to download Titanium Backup and then go into TB and do a full restore. This is the method I've used for both mine, and my wifes phone (On mine I went 1.7>1.8>1.9.1; my wife went 1.8>1.9.1 all JAC OC/UV) and we have not had a single problem, ever to be honest. Once the restore is complete we can go into the market and all of our apps show up, downloads don't stall or any weird things like that.

That said, I do understand that problems CAN occur using this method, and that should something ever crop up to start from a fresh flash and NOT do a full restore.

I guess the point I'm trying to make isn't the childish "you're wrong I'm right" but that we're missing a piece of the puzzle on this one. As far as I know I don't do anything weird regarding my backup. The only changes to TB Prefs that I can recall making is setting my backup directory to be on my external SD card (/sd/TitaniumBackup) so I don't have to worry about losing the backups on a wipe. Both my wife and I DO have the "pro" version of TB however (purchased the key file right from the dev's site, not the market); perhaps something that gets enabled in the pro version makes this process problem free for me and not others.

Then again it could be just like some people's phones not liking OC and UV and yet others eat it up. Who knows. All I know is that Team Whiskey rocks and Bionix is one of the best ROMs I've ever seen.

Nice, I removed the disable-lagfix and it broke my phone. Goes pass the Gal S screen then I get a black screen.

Right when I was about to go to bed!

EDIT: I was able to get into adb mount via clockwork, and enabled disable-lagfix. If this happens to anyone else...you have to use clockwork to access the sdcard under adb mount. You cannot access /sdcard under normal recovery.

Reboot into clockwork recovery and install the rom from sd again.

Back to normal...I decided to download 1.9.1 without voodoo this time.

Use adb push (make sure clockwork is loaded on the screen) to push the new rom to your /sdcard

Done!

TouchWiz MMS do not send\receive pictures in 1.9 :( How can I remove TouchWiz MMS and install stock MMS?
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Titanium has a "restore market links" function. I believe that the Titanium User Wiki also refers to downloading a single (random) app from the market to fix some Market link problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Tested out KK's kernel for a few hours, ended up going back to JAC's.

When I click on an app I expect the transition animation to be perfectly smooth, but on KK's kernel there was a very slight lag. JAC's kernel was perfectly smooth, no problems at all. Just FYI in case anyone needed to choose between kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Everything running smooth so far..GPS is great again..battery life..well still recalibrating :D ..Thanks Dragoth12, sombionix, SkOrPn, ardchoille and master, you guys are great!!! Now to fine my self back to my barber to upgrade his 1.8 to 1.9.1 :D..Make sure you guys make version 2.2 a froyo release! Thanks again!!

ps: anyone can tell me what this fusion is that you speak of? :o

dont use a lag fix next time...this rom dont need it anymore.. I wish bionix would remove the voodoo options since half the complains stem from that. Keeping up with this thread is a full time job :D
[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
I wish I didn't run it...Now I can't get anything to run. I hope the lagfix brick fix works...

Shan,

No offense taken; we should be able to figure this out.

There are four restore methods (blue RUN buttons) in latest Titanium Pro (V3.5.4). Which of the four are you using to obtain the result that you describe?

[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
I think Voodoo is the best thing ever with this rom. That's if you know how to use it correctly. Voodoo seriously makes the phone fly. This rom is awesome, dont get my wrong...but with Voodoo, it's literally 2x or 3x better. Installing or uninstall apps are insanely fast. Other than the very first beta version of Voodoo, I haven't had problems with it since. Been using it for 6+ weeks now.
[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
This was the first time I had any issues with voodoo. I've been using the rom all day and I remembered I did not enable voodoo. I went to enable it, and bam...BSOD (Black Screen of Death). Got it working now though.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Amen, brother. If anyone has any doubts about this, just watch the I/O stats (1) "file system writes" and (3) "database writes" while Quadrant is executing with Voodoo disabled. Now, do the same thing with Voodoo enabled. Note that a similar difference exists for file system and database reads; however the test progresses too quickly to be able to see these very well.

These file system access speed differences make a dramatic difference in the user experience with the phone.

And no, Quadrant results are not "meaningless," as is often posted. Quadrant does not replicate the actual user experience, of course. And, like any file system access speed measuring tool, Quadrant can be fooled by a write-back cache. (Example: the EXT2 lagfix.) However, in the case of Voodoo, these are real numbers that translate into a serious user experience difference.

That said, bugs in such a complex system as is Bionix/kernel/Voodoo can quickly make these speed increases meaningless. Very fast crashes are not much better than a slower crash. :)

1.9.1 does NOT download images as well. Please, how to replace TouchWiz MMS with the stock one in 1.9.1???

Is it possible?
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Loving 1.9 so far...but I thought the 4 lock screens was the problem making the settings lag. When I scroll through the phone's settings, I notice a lag. Since SomBionix removed the 4 lockscreens in 1.9, I thought it would be gone. But it's actually still present. Is it just me or does anybody else notice a little lag when scrolling through the settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
An interesting comparison

I have been running 1.9 with KK and loving it and I have tested it and I have had no problems. Even the GPS works great for me. However the Rom I am waiting to flash is the fusion ROM that is supposed to be released shortly. In the meantime I flashed back to JFD stock. I installed Kies mini and used that to install the OTA version of JI6. I have been testing it and here is what I have found.

1.	Market apps are missing here as well and there is noticeable Market lag

2.	Stock on a pretty clean phone with ¼ of my normal apps loaded runs ok but not as smooth as 1.9

3.	GPS (now I rebooted the phone twice and turned on GPS and gave the cache 5 minutes to rebuild) The phone saw 12 and pretty quickly locked on 4 and then went to 8. So far so good. I opened up Maps and allowed it to settle down and it gave me accuracy of 10M. I then watched as the arrow suddenly took off on a very nice journey all over the island I live on. It did the same thing after another reboot. On 1.9 my GPS pretty much stayed put.

I found no apps that worked any better on JI6 stock, most worked correctly a couple got hung up and had to be re-opened and one, Pandora, FC and after a re-boot that worked. My point here is that 9.1 out performed and was more stable than JI6 OTA
[Vibrant Android Development] eithan:
i am also having this problem. the phone is really fast and smooth on 1.8, but there are a few menus that are laggy. settings menu is terrible, are you experiencing lags in the dialer's favorite menu as well?

i've had it with every version so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Are you guys setting the min on setCPU to 200?
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
ive always gotten that with boinix for some reason... just never thought it was a big enough deal to complain. im using setcpu and yeah its set to 200min 1200max.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
what is this fusion i keep hearing about? is it a new weapon?:D:eek:

same here too..notice it since 1.4 I think.

How is everyones battery life so far??
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
No lag whatsoever here (in Settings, at least). A great test for scroll lag is the Titanium apps list. Of course, to be fair about it, you have to let Titanium completely load the list first. A pop-up message will say that the list is completely loaded. There definitely is occasional lag in scrolling this list; and when it happens it lasts a long time (~ 0.5 to 1.5 sec??). I assume that some other intensive task(s) with higher priorities start up to cause this.

What is unbelievable, though, is that I can sometimes flick the list hard from the top and it will scroll clear to the bottom, through 195 items, before it stops!

But, realistically, this is fabulous performance (with Voodoo in my case). If you want no lag, ever, you will have to wait for the dual processor 2 GHz machine with 2 GB RAM. Even then you will probably see lag in some circumstances, because the apps always become ever more power-hungry as the machines become more powerful.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Speaking of setCPU, what is the problem supposed to be with checking "set on boot"? I am not over-clocking, but have set min=200 MHz as instructed. This setting (min=200) survives a boot just fine. There does seem to be a bug that causes the sliders to be greyed out, but the setting is maintained. Pressing the back arrow key resolves the "sliders greyed out" problem until the next boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] vgsound:
Thank you SomBionix for 1.9 , works better than ever, finally i have nice SGS, Great Work!
[Vibrant Android Development] dukei:
Well, I tried to replace MMS.apk in the Bionix 1.9.1 with that of 1.8, reflashed and Messaging UI changed to stock. But it stilll couldn't download any mms :(

What are other differences in MMS between 1.9.1 and 1.8?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
If only you figured out how to read :'(

Bionix 1.9:

- Complete JI6 build from OTA files (not leaked files)

- JI6 modem

- Fixed TW Mms - images now send/receive

- Removed additional lock screens for speed and stability

- Decreased sweep distance and lag on glass lock screen

- Fixed all phone issues - no more locks, freezes, black screens, etc.

- Juiced the hell out of the speed - its really smooth and really fast

- Battery should be bettery

- GPS should be spot on, fast and accurate

- Wake lock issues fixed

- Video player audio issue fixed

- No more FC in the music player when you select the visualizations

- Media hub should work now

- EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK

Bionix 1.9.1

- Menu button no longer unlocks screen while using stock android lock screen

- Touchwiz Mms now sends and receives pictures messages

- Screen now turns on when notification is received

- Puzzle notifications now work when using puzzle lock screen

- Screen lock up fixed - this happened while using the puzzle lock screen and the phone went idle while on a phone call

- Updated 'update-script' to auto wipe dalvik-cache while flashing (this may have smoothed things out)
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Flashing different kernels

Back around page 880 or so there was some discussion about providing just the stock kernel with the ROM and then offering links to the other kernels so you can flash an alternate if you choose to. Has this been done at all? I know the stock kernel version of the ROM exists but where can I find links to just the other kernels (sans ROM)? I would like to flash some of the other kernels and see if I can tell any difference.

Is flashing a different kernel without the ROM recommended? I don't want to introduce problems/issues using this approach but it certainly would save a lot of time when compared to flashing the entire ROM (that wipes).
[Vibrant Android Development] dukei:
Thank you, I've read it. The thing is, what is the differences that affect MMS downloading?

I have the following logcat when MMS download fails:

What should I do to fix it? Flash JI2 radio?

Ohh I misread what you said :D

I am not sure what he changed in the MMS...

1.9 is great but gps came back to dance around and get me lost .....wtf :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
That's a good idea. Backup my backup. Hopefully I won't have to worry about it. It does make me wonder what happened with this ROM to make my phone not boot when restoring a nandroid though. I haven't seen anyone else with this problem.

[Vibrant Android Development] dukei:
Well, there is definitely a problem with MMS in 1.9-1.9.1. With 1.8 my MMS worked great, and with 1.9.x they just said "Could not download".

I tried to flash MMS.apk from 1.8 to 1.9, tried JI2 modem, nothing helped. So I had stay with 1.8. MMS works again.

Can anyone tell the difference between 1.8 and 1.9 regarding MMS?

There is logcat for mms error: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8634112&postcount=9086

Bruce,

Excellent explanation on how Titanium works. I have used the Titanium to update the apps and some data but never updated the system data. Your write-up should be added to the bible. I have never had any problem with the Bionix Roms although I rarely use the GPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
GPS issues?

I get a lock pretty quick but it seems to be bouncing me around. Here is a screen of my walk this morning. Although the image would have you believe I walked all over, I actually stay on a single street the entire time. Could be the app and I will be testing another app this evening.

How are you guys getting gps to work? I've flashed almost every gps fix and rom that claimed to have fixed gps.. Still no gps. I use gps test and it says I've found anywhere from 5-12 flyers but never any locks. I'm starting to think my phone is not able to use gps for some reason.. Right now I'm using bionix 1.9 stock.

still having pandora issues

okay, I did a nandroid restore of my original backup, then flashed 1.9 with voodoo, everything installed without a hitch, but every time I go to run pandora, it locks up at random intervals. Any ideas?

thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] daverod:
Same deal here. Using GPS Status, I have never, ever seen a a satellite lock. I did see an increase in visible satellites once (from 3-4 to 9-10), when I flashed a GPS fix. However, Maps and Navigation have been absolutely useless to me.

I've been on Eugene's Frankin-Twiz (with the gps fix) along with Bionix 1.8 and 1.9. I also started to wonder if it's my phone. I think I'm gonna try Stock JI6 to see if that works.

I installed 1.9.1 with Jacs OC/UV rom and had issues. Although 1.8 Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO had not any issues. I don't think it's voodoo's fault, because I have disabled it now.

Are you standing outside? Lol. Sorry had to ask. Some people seem to think they should get perfect gps while in their bedroom.

If you are outside then yes try what is mentioned above. My gps is working just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] daverod:
For me, doesn't matter if I have both enabled. With 'use wireless networks' enabled, it gets me to within 2000 meters accuracy or so, probably better. More helpful than not, sure, but I never get a GPS lock and the greater accuracy for navigation.

what's wrong with my gps

hi,

when i first got my vibrant the gps was working fine on pure stock.

one day it started making some problems so i decided to try bionix. i tried many vers and modems but no good. i can always see 7-10 sats but no fix.

now im on 1.9.1 and no fix. could this be a HW problem?

what can i do, are there any settings or data i can wipe or anything?

other then that bionix is just perfect.

hope you can help me, im unable to return the phone since im out of the country.

thx.

[Vibrant Android Development] timafey:
Hey I've been flashing every version of this and I have to say 1.9 is the best one so far. Great job somebionix! This is running so much smoother than all other roms that I'm not even installing a lag fix. Gps locks on to 10 birds in my house almost instantly without network assist. If anyone is on the fence about flashing this def go for it!

DON'T SAY THAT YOU'VE TRIED HARD TO SEARCH BECAUSE NO, YOU ONLY TYPE A WORD OR A PHRASE ONE TIME AND GOT BORED SO YOU JUST QUICK REPLIED AND ASKED THE SAME FREAKING QUESTION!!!

SERIOUSLY, MORE THAN HALF OF THE POSTS IN THIS THREAD IS REPEATED DUMB QUESTIONS OF THE SAME ISSUES POSTED BEFORE!!! HOW ABOUT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM?!

"I CAN'T GET INTO MARKET"

"THE VOLUME IS TOO LOW"

"CAN'T FIND LOCK SCREENS"

"GPS CAN'T LOCK ON"

"I CAN'T BOOT PAST VIBRANT SCREEN"

WTF??! THESE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED AND PRETTY MUCH RESOLVED HUNDREDS OF POSTS AGO!!!

AND YOU CALL YOURSELVES ANDROID USERS!!!! WTF?!!
[Vibrant Android Development] livbean:
I have never had a big problem with GPS but tried this (from Tmobile Forum, newb can't provide link) and it improved my accuracy enough to consistantly use NAV.

1. Download GPSTest for free from the market. I've tried a few and like this one, made by Mike Lockwood.

2. Turn your GPS off then open the app.

3. Once the app is running, pull down your notification bar and turn GPS back on, then close the notification bar.

4. Hit menu, and select Start. You should see information starting to be displayed within seconds. Wait until all fields are filled, then select map. Verify that it is showing your correct location on the map. Once verified, select status again.

5. Pull down the notification bar again, turn the GPS off, then close the notification bar.

6. Hit menu and select Clear Aiding Data.

7. Turn the GPS back on, then the same procedure (Menu>Start, wait for the fields to be filled. It might take a little longer this time) Once they're filled, select Map again and verify your location.

8. Close GPSTest, then open G-Maps. Assuming you're on a decent 3G connection, it should display your CORRECT location within seconds.

Also, Sombionix, AMAZING job on this rom. I think i started using it when you first released and I''m always impressed! If Tmobz hadn't fired me, you would have a few new bottles on your shelf :D
