One hell of a rom!!! I am using the Bionix 1.9.1 (stock kernel) and I couild not believe the difference. The marketplace is unbelievably fast, the phone is just rediculously responsive. I really did not have much of a problem with the performance of the phone after I uploaded the leaked J16, but I tried the Bionix instead of updating to the OTA one and it blew me away! I really no not know why anyone will want the Voodoo or OC/UV to further complicate this work of art??? Its has been running flawlessly.

Also with battery life, I wonder if Samsung did something different between the leaked and OTA J16, cos I just finished reconditioning my battery and it took waaaaaaay too much effort to drain it. I had a Utube 2hour video going, as many apps running in the background, used the RyanZ OCLF (I use it to root and set the 'minfree' so I do not have to use a taskiller, gives me the same performance as using the actual lagfix, so I have never actually used the lagfix again) to set the minfree at the lowest setting (I had 38-45mb available ram the whole time time). Funny thing is the phone never froze, didnt hang at all even though I did notice some detriment with speed (not anything I couldnt live with on a day to day).

Yep this ROM has been optimised, the only changes I added was changing the GPS settings (never had real GPS issues before). I went to MSbased and used the google server instead of the spirent. I noticed exceptionally fast lock with less than 6m accuracy with the Bionix rom on the first lock (in less than 15 seconds), but subsequent attempts at opening the maps did not yeild good results so I went back to my old settings. Will be testing that out and see how that compares.

Thank you and I will be donating to your Crown-Black (my favorate drink as well) fund!
[Vibrant Android Development] Duce HD2:
Thanks all. I think I'll give this a try- I'll test the battery life with setcpu running all day, and same without the next day, and see which one drains the battery faster.

what are the dragons that eveyone talks about in voodoo? i cant find it anywhere for the life of me
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
The 'dragons in voodoo' reference is implying that Voodoo is a powerful beast that can wreck havoc (soft brick) on your phone if you don't follow directions to a T when taking care of (using) it.

I downloaded the SGS tools app from marketplace.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/sgs-tools/de.Fr4gg0r.SGSTools

Went into the 'secret codes' section and selected GPS test (Lb.......). From there I just followed these directions

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7237991&postcount=1

Obviously there is no need to dial the number since SGS tools does that for you. The reason I used that vs dialing the number is cos I have read the access numbers have changed on J16, couldn't remember where to find the new numbers so I went the 'SGS tools' app route. Also easier to go back and forth
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
I'm currently running 200/1000. As far as battery life I tried with and without, 200/1200 and noticed no significant difference either way. Let me know what you find for yourself please. Also I've heard reports of some people having issues not using setcpu min to 200. I was not one of those. I even tried setting it at the 100 min. with no issues other than a little lag when waking.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I just went back to read the forum rules again. Just thought I would throw it out there that the rules are important and a quick re-read of them is a good idea for all XDA members, new or old. Rule number 1 is number 1 for a reason.;)
[Vibrant Android Development] neur0t0xin64:
Yeah my battery drained 30% in one hour of standby without setcpu. With setcpu at 200/1200 it drains about 1-2% per hour of standby.

running Bionix 1.9.1, JACS UV/OCn ZEAM launcher.
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
Why does everyone say not to run profiles on SetCPU? I would think that running at 400/200 with screen off would totally make this battery extend??? With these settings I never have wake issues either.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipugh:
Maybe someone can help me out..

I flashed 1.91 this morning and had it running without problem. I did a Rom Manager backup prior to doing this.

After trying out Bionix, I wanted to revert back to my stock ROM to try out a few different things. I booted to Clockwork and hit restore backup.

Now everything hangs at the Vibrant screen. It said the backup was restored successfully.

Where can I go from here to get this working again?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Did you flash 1.9.1 with a voodoo kernel? If so did you disable it before trying to nandroid back?
[Vibrant Android Development] mak0305:
Did you dl the voodoo 1.9.1? If so did you disable voodoo before flashing back to stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
Apparently these phones go into an eternal sleep when you do. The only way to recover is to pull the battery and reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipugh:
Argh -- yes, I did flash the Voodoo kernel. I thought I did not, so I did not think to remove it prior to restoring the old backup.

Am I screwed now?
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
I have never had this happen at all. I actually have it set to 600/200 not 400/200 and never had an issue. I am wondering if I should disable all my profiles, just havent seen good documentation on it
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
You need to read and follow the instructions posted by OP on the very first page of this thread.

I haven't had to do this procedure yet so I can't offer much more advice.
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
Not so much screwed you just need to look at the OP and read up and use ODIN. We have almost all been there. Good luck sir

DAMN GTO beat me to it!
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
Some of those old Pontiac GTO's are quick. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
It happened to me with Jacs running Voodoo. I then tried it again with KK and it happened after 10 hours. That was enough to convince me.
[Vibrant Android Development] andy696:
I have the same issue as ipugh .

My OTA failed so I used ODIN to flash JI6.

I took a nandroid backup, flashed 1.9 - Stock. I have no lag fixes.

When I attempted to restore JI6 the t-mo noise played but the phone hung at the Vibrant screen.

I downloaded and flashed 1.9.1 - stock and I am happy with this I just want to be able to flash back to a JI6 backup without using ODIN.

Is there a difference between the OTA kernel and the JI6 soft brick ODIN fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sh8dyDan:

I've been running 1.9.1 since Friday night and I've gotta say...no disrespect intended towards Team Douche, but I am no longer eagerly awaiting CM6. This rom is almost perfect! Great job sombionix!

My phone does freeze up once or twice a day, but I think it's due to the UV. I'll take that minor inconvenience as a trade off for better battery life. The one thing that I didn't like was the lack of animation when going from the home screen to the apps page and back. Trivial, I know...but, I'm a sucker for swoopy animations.

I've yet to try GPS, but I'm not worried about it either way. I believe it'll work, but if it doesn't, I'll just apply one of the fixes that worked for me before.

All in all, incredible rom. Sombionix, I've sent you a donation in support of your efforts to control the whiskey population. Thanks again man :D

lost 3g capabilities

Hello

I've moved from 1.8 to 1.9.1 and I seem to have lost 3g signal. Now I can see the option of choosing between gsm,cdma under network screen. And I didn't have female before. But apparently there is no support of umts. I tried even surfing the web and no success, says there is no network connection. What is wrong? In the meanwhile I nandroided back to older stock version.
[Vibrant Android Development] coojoe1000:
Almost 24hrs in using this rom and I still have 63% of battery left. Amazing. 1.9.1 with the Jace UV/OC no voodoo, using the ext2 lagfix or whatever the one you do through terminal is.
[Vibrant Android Development] miikey_:
sounds like you need to reflash with the stock kernel rather than JACS/OCUV
[Vibrant Android Development] mygti02:
great rom....battery died really fast one day...100% to shut down in less than 2 hours with no use....so i wiped the battery data and let it charge all the way back up and it seems to be ok now.

Compass is still worthless......anyone know of a fix for it yet.....my brother has a captivate and my other brother has the fascinate and they have no compass issues :(

over all awesome ROM :)
[Vibrant Android Development] miikey_:
EXT2 Lag Fix

I have never used terminal or adb, but from what i've read one of these has to be used to apply the EXT2 lag fix.

I have 1.9.1 installed with stock kernel, is the EXT2 lag fix still included in this kernel?

Can someone explain to me how to do this (rather than just putting a bunch of code up and saying "this is how the fix is applied").

Also, is this fix considered a Voodoo type fix, therefore has to be disabled during reflashing, etc.?

Thanks for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
same as above, im at 20hrs and battery is at 67%. 4hours more in standby and it'll make 1 day with more than half battery life! (im using 1.8 with JAC OCUV though)

someone still managed to soft brick their phone despite the constant warnings all over the place. has he even bothered to read any of the instructions?? wow
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
Try this: make sure that the "GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)" box in the Network Mode menu is checked and then back up one menu screen back to the Wireless and network menu, select Flight mode, wait a few seconds until the airplane icon pops up in the notifications bar, then immediately deselect flight mode.

I've had my phone loose data a few times since I went to 1.9.1, but the steps above have always done the trick for me.

check it i just installed Bionix 1.9.1 Voodoo (OC/UV/Voodoo Kernel)

works great and all but now that i want to go back to my stock rom ,,, it stays stuck on the samsung log???? i was able to come back to Bionix 1.9.1 Voodoo (OC/UV/Voodoo Kernel),,, but i want to go back to stock
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
Did you disable the Voodoo first?
[Vibrant Android Development] Duce HD2:
I did run in to a problem when I went 100min, my phone died a couple of times for no apparent reason. After resetting it back to 200min, no more issues.

So now I stand at 80% after 5-1/2 of moderate use with 3G only - facebook widget and android facebook app sync every hour -task manager widget - weather update every 2 hours - 2 email accounts every hour - samsung daily calender widget - 3 phone calls, and I played angry birds for a few minutes as well (addicting game). This is actually better than what I used to get on stock ROM. Not counting browsing the great XDA app! I'm very pleased at this moment. Love BIONIX ROM!

[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
@Sombionix - after reading through these posts. I'm thinking if you decide to continue providing different kernels with your rom you may want to consider not including one with voodoo. Too many people flashing all willy nilly without reading a damn thing than they soft brick their phone. I figure those that actually want voodoo and are capable of understanding the risks can simply install it on their own. Just my opinion.
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
Sorry, I suggested the same thing and got body-slammed.

The best thing to do is follow sombionix on twitter.

by flashing the DISABLEvoodoo.zip

i am doing something wrong
[Vibrant Android Development] kimbo1986:
OK I emancipation into an issue. During a call that last several minutes or so, (and it doesn't happen everytime) when I hit the lock button to turn the screen back on, the screen is locked, all I can see is the top bar (battery,announcements,etc) and the wallpaper, I can't pull menu down nor does the screen react to any touch. The bottom menu buttons also do not work, they do not even vibrate on touch. The Call continues. Normally until they hang up, and my screen stays the same with no function/ causing me to have to reset. ( power button still works)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know why you should not set it to boot on launch, but suffice it to say, it does cause problems. And for your second question, it has been asked and answered, and not that long ago in this thread. Search for it. Yes, I know. It will take longer than if I had just said yes or no, but it's good for you. I promise.;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Generic112:
You shouldn't check "set on boot" because of problems with Setcpu itself. Set on boot doesn't function properly, so you probably shouldn't use it. Also, profiles cause more problems than they're worth (Not waking from sleep), so it's recommended that you don't set those either

Don't know about flashing the DisableVoodoo.zip, i've only manually done it. You put the file in the Voodoo folder and power down, when you power back on, you'll here the ladies voice telling you the conversion is happening... (or un-happening, depending on how you see it.)
[Vibrant Android Development] Neffstarr:

Testing new GPS.cfg from leak. If all goes well I'll be uploading an update tonight.

EDIT: Holy balls! It's amazing! Uploading in a few.
[Vibrant Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Will this upload incorporate the all black morph or will that be later tonight?

P.S. Is there anyway to incorporate the leaked firmwares battery full notification? Not sure what all that entails, but I thought I'd ask. That and the GPS fix were the most notable changes imho. Thanks in advance,

Russ
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll only have time to throw the GPS fix up tonight. I'm going to start working on the black morph, also. I'll look into the battery notification.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
is there a quick way to uninstall the lag fix in the OP?

I want to flash back to stock. I'm getting a ton of FC's.

Can I just flash back to the stock sammy firmware with Odin and call it good?
[Vibrant Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Sounds awesome. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
You can flash back to stock with odin or try to just flash bionix1.1 w/out installing the lag fix. Not sure why you'd be getting so many FC's, I haven't encountered a single one.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
well...I'm an expert at messing things up :)

I was just looking for a way to remove the lag fix. I had a feeling when I flashed back to OC4 it would cause issues and it did. I got soft bricked.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
LOL. No worries, I mess things up fairly often, too. Yeah, sounds like you might not have any other option but to use odin and flash stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
Already fixored. Now that I'm all fresh and new, I'll flash your ROM again.

I remember when I used to get worried when I screwed up and my phone was rendered useless. Now as long as it doesn't catch on fire or try to butt rape me, I'm good.

Nice work on the ROM btw. I only skimmed the thread, does this already include the GPS fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I literally just uploaded a new rom. Bionix1.1, it includes the GPS fix from the leaked update. The GPS fix is amazing!
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
sweet! Downloading it now.

God I'm going to have a huge football hangover in the morning. No one really needs more than 5 hours sleep, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Can I extract the gps fix from the leak and copy and paste into your bionix 1 rom?

I already have the rom installed in my vibrant,along with my apps from market.

Thanks for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Unfortunately no, however, go to this link, there is a flashable.zip file you can flash via clockwork recovery. I haven't personally used it, so be warned. I did look over the files this flashable.zip contains, it looks legit. The only other alternative would be to download bionix1.1 which includes the new GPS fix.

[Vibrant Android Development] Klyentel:
my review

flashed the OC version of this rom earlier. I am rather impressed with it's smoothness and speed. Very stable, everything works, I'd put this on the same scale as Vibrant r3.

After lagfix:

1st Quad run-- 2560

1st Linpack bench-- 9.87

Dislikes

:

Maps, Rom Manager, and Swype were all out dated, although in OP it states that they are the latest, simply restored the updated versions with Titanium.

MMS not sending, retried sending several times still no luck

Boot up and Boot down robot voices are pretty corny, removed with root explorer

Likes:

Default night time wallpaper pretty cool (moon behind the tree really brings out good 3D image)

Overall speed and smooth feel

Fast sync of email and other background data

Upload/download speeds very good even on Edge (market updates and paid apps play nice as well:cool:)

My overall opinion/rating-- 8/10

Suggestions/fixes

:

MMS

Remove TW launcher- (hate it with a passion, especially those stupid block/square icons:mad:)

Remove Layar, Allshare, and Latitude apps (make a flashable zip for those who care to keep them, I personally don't want, or need them)

Make battery percentage font darker, the white doesn't stand out too good with the sky blue battery IMO

Great work. Would like to see more from you!
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
So far so good, everything is in sync minus the Captivate camera app. I prefer the Captivate app since it has better access to major functions.

Bionix 1.3 kink

gps doesn't work
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
For people who are having the wake up issue or have a black screen causing them to take out the battery, IT'S NOT VOODOO. It's the profiles you set with SetCPU or it's SetCPU itself.

NOT ALL CPU's are built alike, so not every phone can get up to 1.2ghz. You may think it works, but eventually your phone freezes up or you can't wake it up. This is a sign your CPU cannot handle it. JAC is working on a new kernal that hopefully solves the problem.

For people who can overclock their phones, make sure you set your profiles correctly. Having it too low can cause serious wake up issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] aeson:
quick update on battery life with both the 1.3 voodoo (1st picture) and 1.3 KK same moderate to heavy usage...
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
