Okay, so first off, LOVE this rom. First custom rom I've flashed to an Android device since the days of 2.0 and Sense UI on my G1 lol. Needless to say, I fell out of the loop on a lot of stuff. This rom is great. The full black color scheme, I thought I wasn't going to like, turns out, I LOVE IT, all the unlock screens, swipe seems much more accurate, GPS ACTUALLY WORKS, and I haven't dropped a call since I flashed (not sure if that has to do with the flash or just dumb luck).

But onto my issue, I've been going page to page, because searching for this issue doesn't yield any results that I found to be helpful. I was using RyanAZ's OCLF on my stock rom, but that is telling me that it won't work as "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)". I was hitting quadrant scores of 2300+ on stock, now I'm hitting upper 700's....waaaay low. I'm not on the voodoo kernel, I'm on the JAC's OC/UV kernel. I am assuming that because of the custom boot up screen, that's why it's freaking out? I love the Bionix boot sequence though :P

So now for the question I guess. Can I install the voodoo lagfix on this rom without reflashing to the voodoo kernel? Or do I need to do reflash?

Sorry for the long read...

No problem. To be honest I'm not sure how to save individual contacts to Google other than going to the google voice website and adding them in one at a time. What I did was export all my phone contacts to my SD card which saves them. Then after I flashed a new rom I just imported them all and it asks where to save them, on your phone or google - pick google. You can also do this before flashing a new rom. And as for TB, if I'm understanding you right it is OK to restore "Apps + data." Just don't restore any of your system stuff (which should be the ones showing in RED). Again, hope this helps! ~Cheers!

Hi,

1st

This 1.91 stock is the best version yet.

Thanks.

2nd

The mms is fine but it works a little different.

I can send and recieve mms pic no problem.

To save or download the attachment, do a long press on the picture.

Click attached items.

Check the box and click save.

It is now saved in your download folder.

Enjoy.

:)

I flashed Voodoo on my 1.8 stock and it worked great. That was 1.8 though so I cant say for sure on 1.9 though it should still work. :)

[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Did a search for this but no luck so I thought I'd ask:

I installed 1.8 JACs w/ voodoo a few days ago and since then I keep losing my Slacker widget. The app is still there in the app drawer, but the widget doesn't load and it doesn't show up in the widget list. I've been uninstalling and reinstalling to get it to come back, but it happens on every reboot now. Any ideas as to why I'm losing the widget?
[Vibrant Android Development] tony yayo:
Ah yes. Import/export should work just fine. Since its on the sd it is not getting wiped correct? I'm still curious about flashing 1.9 w/o the voodoo kernel over the 1.8 with the voodoo kernel not working, without having to ODIN?
[Vibrant Android Development] rkenley:
BAM! soft brick fixed! Had to get IT up to get a RAR extractor on the computer and that got me into ODIN. Everything was cake after that. Thank You all for your help. Now back to reinstalling Bionix.

Simbionix, you got some whiskey coming! Thanks again all!
[Vibrant Android Development] daverod:
Yeah, maybe this was it. I wasn't waiting because this is my fifth android phone and I never had this issue before. When it didn't lock with a few mins, I chalked it up to the known GPS issue. But, I've been traveling this week and I'd launch Maps while in the car and leave it running for quite some time and never got the lock. Of course, I wasn't paying strict attention to it because I was driving.

Just today, at the suggestion of livbean, I used a GPSTest procedure to clear some GPS aiding data and it eventually began to work. I don't know if this is what fixed it or just the fact that I left the phone sitting idle (while it tried to determine it's location via GPS) or a combination of the two. Who knows.

In any case, now that I've gotten that first lock, I've done a road test and was able to use Navigation for the first time on my Vibrant.

Thanks for the helpful comments.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Correct! It will save your contacts to your SD and will not get wiped when flashing roms. As for flashing 1.9 w/out Voodoo over 1.8 w/ Voodoo; it will be fine as long as you DISABLE VOODOO before you flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] badazyelaboi:
Modus ponens? ....nice. Lol

But what were you trying to say? I guess I'll just reflash
[Vibrant Android Development] it2steve:
This is my first attempt at 'flash'... I had to Odin last Friday when the TMO updat killed me thene did a nandroid. It's saying that a lag is already installed (which I didnt get, just the stock Boinix 1.9) and the Quadrant is in the 700's when it used to be 2100+.

Any thoughts on the FC on the FFC (mirror)

Wipe Battery Stats

Ok. I have read on numerous forums on wiping/recallibrating battery stats. NO ONE explains how the hell to do it. The only explanation is "wipe battery stats". Can someone PLEASE give me a step by step on what to do. I boot the phone in recovery by holding up/down volume and power button. Then I'm supposed to find advanced settings somewhere, but my only choices are:

-reboot system now

-reinstall packages

-delete all user data

-delete cache data

where do i go from here? thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
First off, it is in the OP or for those of you who can't figure out what OP is, it's the Original Post of this thread! Second, you need to get the Rom Manager app (for free) and use it to install the Clockworks Recovery. You are seeing the stock recovery on your phone. The Clockworks has the "advanced" and the "Clear Batt Stats".
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
GPS.... What seems to be consensus?

Enable or disable the wireless network assist?

Change any settings in lbstestmode? If not, then why is the default SUPL server set to one that no longer works (no longer replies to any requests)?
[Vibrant Android Development] jpnelson40:
I think you need to install the clockworkmod recovery program using Rom Manager in order to do that; when you get to standard recovery, choose the install packages, and then it will come up into the green texted clockworkmod recovery, and then under advanced menu item you will find the battery cache item.
[Vibrant Android Development] miikey_:
well holy crap. i've been looking at that "flash clockworkmod recovery" for weeks now and thought it was just one of those things i would never use.

it all makes sense now. this is what my college education was for ;). thanks for the help.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
ClockWork Recovery is a must. You can make nandroid backups and everything from it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lancelaut:
I have my contacts saved at Google, but I don't even sync them. What i did, was Click Contacts/Menu/More/ImportExport/Export to SD/Yes

This is your Contacts backup, should even back up your images to External SD.

Then after rom update, sign in to Google, and IMMEDIATELY go and turn off Contact Sync Home/Menu/Settings/Accounts and Sync/Your Google Account/Uncheck contacts/ (Otherwise your contacts will have the information doubled like phone number, birthday, address, etc on the info page)

Then Contacts/Menu/More/ImportExport/Import/Phone/Import one vCard file/

No you don't but you can, otherwise export the vCard to sd and send it to your computer. Then go to GMAil and upload that vcard to your Gmail account.

Saving to Phone allows you to add ringtones, while Using them as Google contacts does not in my case...I don't understand why. Samsung Vibrant Tmo

Correct it does not get wiped
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
No, not modus ponens. More like inverse error:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denying_the_antecedent

(I never restored system data + I got Market download errors) therefore (getting market download errors cannot be fixed by properly restoring system data).

Good try, though. :p

soft bricked - bionix 1.9

first off, lemme just say the bionix (1.8) rom is off the hook.

as for 1.9 stock, here goes...

tried to install over the 1.8 stock, and it soft bricked to the virbant/samsung screen.

used odin to flash back to original eclair firmware and re-rooted.

this time tried to install 1.9 stock over the original 2.1 stock.

soft bricked again at the vibrant/samsung screen.

any ideas? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Just so everyone is clear, I did exactly what 3/4 of you requested. That was to make another build off the OFFICIAL OTA JI6 files, which this is. Most of you claimed that the gps was amazing with the OTA files. This build includes those exact files, so if gps is still not working for you, for whatever reason, I'm not sure what to tell you at this point. Please contact Samsung and report your issues.

Personally, gps is working fantastic on my phone, I get 10 out of 11 sat lock, and very quickly. Nor does it require checking the assisted box.

I'm not sure how or why there are so many issues being reported, I haven't experienced a single issue with this build yet, and I've done extensive testing on it. I haven't had a single FC, 3g issue, gps issue, audio issue, pandora issue, music player issue. My only suggestion to anyone having problems would be to odin to stock, root again, and then reflash. Starting with a clean base is often the best thing to do. As far as this rom goes, its SOLID.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Enabled. It allows the phone to get a rough position from the cell network towers. It speeds up location based apps as many of them only need a rough position, not the accuracy GPS provides. It doesn't really effect GPS itself, just the speed for a rough position. It might help "prime" the GPS receiver firmware, some older GPS receivers would let you pick your location to speed up GPS lock times. It helps the receiver know what satellites to look for and such.

I think the SUPL server data is more complex than that app would suggest. I can confirm that SUPL data DOES download just fine and I have not changed that setting. However, if WiFi is connected, it seems to have trouble. GPS Status (market) can do it, but the base ROM doesn't seem to be able to and it falls back to standalone GPS. For best use with maps/nav/etc., you really need wifi disconnected. It can be ENABLED, but just not connected to anything, based on what I have seen with my phone.

The compass is even usable now, still a bit slow to update, but not totally off like it used to be.

[Vibrant Android Development] ShanDestromp:
I use zeam so once I restore my apps I just switch to it and every thing is back including my wall paper. Regarding my calendar so and alarms, I use the default ones included in bionix though for both of those I seem to need to restart in order for everything to show up again. There is probably another way where up don't have to restart my phone but I only have to do it the once so it doesn't bother me.

I do use hand cent for my sms and mms not the stock, but again everything shows back up, including ringtone and notifications.

Sent from Bionix 1.9.1 JAC 1.1 OC/UV with XDA App
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
definitely appreciate the builds! hands down solid. But the 3g issue is something new to me with the latest build, but like you said, you can't possibly test every scenario. I just have to ask, if you were able to test calls dropped when switching from areas with edge to 3g to no data? How is that simulated because what i notice is a lot of people don't really use their phone for much calling. it's all the other smart features that are being used, and those can definitely be tested by just using the program.

Again, thanks for the work, but if this dropped calls from edge to 3g persists, It really makes the most important part of the phone useless.

my 2 cents
[Vibrant Android Development] aperezny:
Cheeck your downloaded file version.

The first version of 1.9 was causing this. This is almost obvious but just to double check, did you download the updated version of the zip file? That first version was taken down at some point in order to fix the issue causing soft brick.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
This right here is the understatement of the thread!!!

Thanks Sombio, hooch donation heading your way!
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
Since i have the larger NAND chip, which kernal would be better to use for the Bionix ROM? The Kingckicks or the JACS w/o voodoo? Is one kernal better (faster) than the other?
[Vibrant Android Development] Arrrmin:
I actually had this problem when I flashed to 1.7. The solution is you need to use Root Explorer and delete that playlogos1 file (or rename it), then go back into the OCLF app and click on "Restore Boot Animation." Be sure NOT to reboot your phone at any point in between, otherwise you'll most likely be stuck in a boot loop. After you've restored your boot animation, you should be able to apply the OCLF no problem. I actually found this fix elsewhere and it proved to work great.

Since I've flashed to 1.8 with KK kernel, I haven't found any real need to run OCLF again. The only thing that "lags" now is opening an ePub in Aldiko, but everything else runs super smooth. Otherwise, everything else works great and I doubt I'll reflash again until there's a Froyo ROM available. Good job Team Whiskey, keep up the great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I have used both kernels and can say they are both SOLID. I always used JAC's over KK's though, that was up until KK released his kernel capable of OC'ing to 1.3GHz. So that is what I'm currently rocking. In any case though, moral of the post - you can't go wrong either way.
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
Actually I have/had the 3G to edge dropped calls as well. I am not sure if it happens on Bionix 1.91 yet but it definitely happened for Bionix 1.7 and 1.8.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpnelson40:
Look at my post 8788 from yesterday, which tells how I got past this problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] senfoo:
i thought i had d/led the updated zip.

am d/ling new one now just to be sure and will reflash and post update soon.

**edit: re-flashed newly d/led 1.9 and all is good.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
Your 'restore data to fix this' still isn't ideal as most of us do not restore any system data items. You assume that the person in question even has a backup of that data when it's entirely possible he only backs up his apps. So yes, his logic does not mean that your fix won't work for him but your fix is based on a shaky assumption.
[Vibrant Android Development] s1lenz:
Quick question, I'm using Titanium Pro to backup my apps and data before I flash to newer versions - is there anything I should omit from the backup? I see that it also backs up and installs Youtube for example and I know youtube tends to change with the Bionix versions.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
I haven't heard anyone complain about this issue in the general forums, so my gut instinct is to think it's the rom since i'm running stock. Btw, I did flash back to JFD through odin and then flashed the bionix 1.9 stock rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
When you flashed back to stock did you follow the "Froyo No Brick" procedure or simply just Odin the stock stuff over the previous flash?

The "Froyo No Brick" procedure completely wipes and re-formats your your entire phone, which is what is needed to get back to "True Stock" and start off from a clean base.

You're problem could be a problem with the ROM, it could also be a problem with your flash, or the 'restoring' you do after you flash, however, it is also a problem that is near unto impossible to check in the field. If this is something you can consistently get to do, record a logcat, post it here and let Sombionix look it over so he can possible determine the cause. It may be something you just have to live with, or simply switch your phone to use only 3g networks, or only edge, or flash back to a different version that plays nice with your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
Is the dropped calls gone? You think it is the modem.bin file? Like you said, I would assume that people would be complaining ni the general forums now that everyone has been updated with the JI6 Modem Bin file.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lakers3408:
Any chance of posting a optional TW that keeps the one touch jumping in home screens/app drawer? The number buttons disappear and won't let you touch them to jump screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
Yeah I think I will try the Froyo no brick procedure to get a clean slate.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Shan, it appears that you are using downloaded apps which store your settings as app data. It you were using the base apps, the settings would be stored as system app data and those settings would not be restored in your case.

The Titanium restore mode that you are using, "Restore all apps with data," does not restore system app settings. The sub-thread that you entered is about system app settings, not about app data settings.

Please see my post #9025 to understand the difference.

Cheers,

Bruce
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey Lakers, see you in the FINALS, we'll be bringing the HEAT :D
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
I will have to try that, but leaning toward going true stock again just to avoid any issues. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
Wallpapers are great. Don't remove them ! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I was just thinking about this, and I wanted to add that you MAY be able to wipe and re-format the phone without actually using the "Froyo" ROM first. Simply click the re-partition box in Odin and flash the stock stuff.....I am completely unsure if this will work properly though. When it comes to flashing my phone back to stock, I am kind of a sheep and simply follow the instructions given to me by more wiser members. Personally I would still do the whole procedure, but I wanted to add that I may be wrong about it.

Also, please BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD before doing the "Froyo No Brick" procedure, it WILL WIPE IT!
[Vibrant Android Development] Duce HD2:
Question

This is my first time flashing an android device, and I have to say that this ROM is pretty damn sweet!! Everything works beautifully!

Couple questions:

1 - (might sound noobiesh - oh well..) I flashed the BIONIX 1.9.1 Voodoo. I was reading in a earlier post that every time you flash anything, Voodoo has to be disabled....where is Voodoo located? How to disable...

2 - To overclock, do I have to install SetCPU? Or is this ROM maxed out already..

3 - Is the best way to go back to bone dry tmobile/samsung stock ROM going to be Froyo no brick + stock flash procedure?

Sorry for the some many questions, i did some research, I couldn't find the answers that I was looking for ~ in a way that I understood.

Thanks for any help!
[Vibrant Android Development] gmoney11:
Is it just me, or does the update have a more difficult unlock screen to use. Seems like I have to swype it 3 or 4 times to get it unlocked

This happen with anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] miclflores:
So are you using 1.9 now or still using 1.8 with the KK 1.3ghz kernel? I'm on 1.8 stock kernel right now and really have only 2 minor issues (that's a lot less then with stock the stock rom). Would you say 1.9 is better than 1.8? Thanks again for your work.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Huge red letters in all caps? Seriously? I know you want people to use the search function but your post in nothing more than a huge annoyance. When I see all caps, I simply skip that post because that type of thing is extremely rude. Please don't do this anymore.. there are always going to be people who ask questions without bothering to search first, it's a fact of life. If it gets to you that bad then perhaps you need to take a break from the forums for a while.

[Vibrant Android Development] n2ishun:
I have several questions I have yet to see anyone ask.

I just got the OTA Ji6 update and notice a buttload of apps running in the background (I use advanced task killer pro) that the *new* Tmo task killer doesn't see, or kill.

They are (it seems) set to a forced autorun and I DO NOT like that in the slightest.

What are (if any) the tasks set to autorun, or "always run" in the Bionix mods ?

I really do NOT like the OTA Ji6 and believe it or not, it's pissing me off badly since I have even less control over the phone now than I did when it was stock.

I could give a flying screw at a rolling donut about GPS....it's a phone fer chrissake not a Tom Tom.

I'd rip this new task manager out in a heartbeat if I could but I can't find the reasonably easy way to remove it :\
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
I stand corrected as to my use of the term "fix."

If you read my posts at 8469 and 9025, you will see that I am merely reporting first, my ignorance as to why Market was crashing in my case, and then the results of having taken quite some time to educate myself extensively in the matter.

Many people were reporting this problem and other, more serious problems with Bionix releases, while the devs and others report zero problems. Many people use Titanium. From this thread alone it is clear that many attempting ROMing are not very technically astute. Thus, some could be mis-using Titanium; and that alone could account for many apparent system problems following a ROM flash.

My thoughts obviously do not apply to those who are not restoring system app data. That should be abundantly clear to anyone who even half-reads my reports. Have you read those posts, or are you just trolling? The problem is that many likely have no clue whether or not they are restoring system app data along with non-system app data because they do not understand the difference or even know that there are two types of data that can be restored from Titanium.

In other words, I was trying to think of a trend that could be causing global problems and help to educate people as to one potential cause.

I frankly have spent way too much time here trying to help. Why I am being crucified for this I do not know.
