Tutorial from sombionix @ the OP page:

1. Once again, you MUST disable the Voodoo lag fix in order to flash any other rom, kernel, or perform a nandroid backup. If you don't...well....lets just say I warned you.

2. Its simple. The Voodoo folder is located on the 16GB SD card. If not, create a folder on the root of your sdcard called 'Voodoo'.

3. Now, open notepad or something similar and save the blank file. Name it 'disable-lagfix'. This file cannot have any file extension, so remove it if it does.

4. Place your blank file into the 'Voodoo' folder you made on your sdcard.

5. In order to disable, simply power down your phone and power it back up.

6. FINISHED! You can now flash anything you'd like!

You need to manually O/C via SetCPU, make sure to leave Set on Boot UNCHECKED. You will have to manually reset it at each reboot.

To get back to the stock ROM, you need to use ODIN. There's also a tutorial from sombionix at the OP page. It's great, it saved my life last time when I soft-bricked my phone.

I like the new trend....anyone with a question starts the post with "I already did a search for this, but couldn't find an answer" than proceeds to ask a question that has been answered 20 times....I just have to chuckle. Either people really have no clue whatsoever how to use search, or the new trend is to lie about actually having searched :D
[Vibrant Android Development] boundless:
Well everything went well with my first flash. I just loaded bionix 1.9.1 stock and the phone is running great. Everything is running a lot smoother and the phone is so awesome.

One question though. Something happened today and don't know what its called to search...

This was working after the flash so I know its nothing to do with the rom but now you know when you turn the phone sideways you get the keyboard's long version.

Well for some reason its not doing that anymore. It was before after I flashed the new rom.

Is there a setting that turns that off ????

Sorry for the noob question. What is the proper term for the sideways keyboard ???
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
Sombionix

hey since you package ROM Manager with your rom, can you get with Koush to enable OTA Updates through Rom Manager

If you support this idea, quote it :)

Thanks

This would ROCK!
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Would be nice than to see a blank page in the app. ;)

I'm sure he would require a permanent hosting wouldn't he? other than media fire or something like that?
[Vibrant Android Development] Duce HD2:
Thanks a lot for your answers...makes my day. And I appreciate the fact that you didn't critized me because I couldn't find the answers myself:)

I must say that I was confused about Voodoo, I thought it was a similar version of OCLF or something...again, great service - thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
He already has permanent hosting. The teamwhiskey site is hosted on google sites, he can upload there and anyone can download the ROM. I mentioned this as a free alternative to mediafire a few pages back.

Here's a matrix-style wallpaper that I host on my google site. Download it and see how it works :)
[Vibrant Android Development] hypes057:
Wallpaper

I just flashed the rom, its awesome. I used the stock kernel one and I tried to change the wallpaper from Jack Skellington to something else in the TW gallery and it kept the Jack Skellington. figured it was some bug so I tried with a gallery image, said installing wallpaper, finished but didn't update, still Jack Skellington. Tried reboot as well. Any idea whats up or how I can change it? Awesome rom though, thanks for the hard work and effort you put into it!
[Vibrant Android Development] abrown0809:
Thanks a lot. My vibrant has never been better!
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Got it! Thanks. It will be on my phone soon. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] winhwah:
It may sound painful but i would re-flash again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
This would be very cool!
[Vibrant Android Development] steveweng:
burn the LAKERs down to LOSERs....lol
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
weird, i had the same issue today, but rebooting helped. i was able to switch to live wallpapers without a problem. it was just switching back that it wouldn't update...
[Vibrant Android Development] steveweng:

Is anyone else having the problem where their battery won't die. I am trying to condition the new 1.9.1 ROM for the battery, and I just can't seem to get the bugger to die. Been leaving everything on and running Avatar several times today.

Is this a known bug already? I haven't seen too many people having this problem. If anyone knows how to fix it, leave it out of this thread!
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
My setcpu doesn't reset itself when I reboot my phone, I don't have save profile checked.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Will you guys use the SEARCH feature already, it's a known fact that using Bionix ROM will extend the life of your battery so proceed with caution :D
[Vibrant Android Development] winhwah:
Just ADB pushed the file provided by Jocelyn and it works great. I'd recommend to wipe dalvik-cache. I didn't have any FC's and the bug is fixed. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] steveweng:
set on boot can be check after running the OC script on jacs

try the OC script on jac's thread....

and you can used setcpu with OC and check set on boot

and its 420 now ...

celerbrating with the super Vibrant I have with sombionix, Joc, and a lot of people's help!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Seriously?! What the heck is SEARCH? Is there a thread where I can read about that?:p
[Vibrant Android Development] hypes057:
yea i just discovered this myself. going to reboot, just waiting for my battery to completely charge so i can do the battery reconditioning, kill 2 birds w/ one stone hopefully!

will post if reboot fixed.

EDIT- rebooting fixed the problem. oddly enough, the last wallpaper i picked (that didnt update) was already loaded on reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
I read your previous posts. You state "Ok; I finally found what is causing the Market to fail after a Bionix 1.8 UV/OC Voodoo kernel flash." You made a blanket statement that implies you think this would fix any Market issue. At the end you do caveat it by saying it could be the source of many complaints.

But! Anytime someone posts with a Market issue after you make that post you redirect them to it without regards for whether or not they're using the system data restore feature of Ti, then you get angry at one of them for telling you that you didn't fix his problem because he doesn't use that feature (although admittedly he could have been less confrontational). Additionally if you now say that your fix clearly does not apply to everyone, then why do you keep suggesting it as something certain?

Tone is lost in the internet, I wasn't trying to jump down your throat over it, but speaking as someone who has had this issue but does not use system data restore I wanted to clarify. The last thing we need is more confusion over these issues and those who do not use system data backups are probably more numerous and less experienced than you realize since nearly every 'good practices' suggestion that has come out of this thread states that you shouldn't use system data backups (sombionix himself says this).

Really, what worked for me and what I think is indirectly happening through your workaround, is that the cache gets corrupted or hung or whatever. Clearing the cache fixes it (at least for me) and I suspect your workaround is basically replacing the 'hung' cache.
[Vibrant Android Development] OPTheory:
Forgive me, but I am running into some problems when trying to set this up for the first time. I've spent hours searching for solutions, so don't please don't hold that against me!

I'm following the installation guide here linked on the original post. I ran into a few problems when trying to do this. I understand that some of these problems have nothing to do with the ROM itself, but I really wouldn't know where to go to ask these questions. First of all, I'm assuming that ALL data gets wiped completely when you load the rom. Contacts, apps, everything. So I did a nandroid backup (at least I assume so, I could never find the word 'nandroid' in clockwork so I just selected backup and it seemed to do the job). After that, I used titanium backup to get everything else. This was an absolute nightmare because Super User permissions kept asking if I should allow or deny - I literally had press the 'allow' button more than 300 times in order for it to complete the backup. According to instructions on Titanium's wiki, the backup would be saved to the SD card. I went to my SD card, and nothing was there. Keep in mind, I have the 2 GB stock SD card so I'm not ruling out that my backup was larger than the capacity. But, it never said anything. After pressing the allow button all those times, it indicated that the backup was successful but it was nowhere to be found. That's the first problem I ran into.

After deciding I'm not going to press the allow button 300 more times and try to back it up again, I tossed the idea of backing up my contacts and apps. I really wanted to get the ROM on the phone so I was just about to flash. I placed the ROM in the SD card, booted into clockwork, selected “install zip from sdcard”, selected “choose zip from SD card”, and then I navigated down to the "/sd" folder - this is where the Bionix zip is. I selected the folder, and it opened for a split second and then it placed me back into the main directory where I can see every folder within the phone. I tried opening the /sd folder again, and it did the same thing. The only .zip file I could find was the 'update.zip' file in the main default directory (I don't know what this is called) - I think this is the file created by clockwork.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here? Bionix 1.9 sounds insanely good. Again, forgive me for taking this up in this thread but after literally hours of searching I am unable to find anything.

Thanks!

Why is it that media hub works on the ota update but when I download 1.9 it says device not supported?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
How do you think I found out about Bionix to begin with? I searched for "Rom reliable like the sunrise" and BAM! There it was! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
So like many have reported, I am also having battery issues with 1.9. My battery is draining even when my screen is off. Reminds me of 1.6.

In all...the rom is great. Haven't ran into any big problems yet. MMS is still kinda iffy though. I receive MMS fine. But when I send them out, it seems like it gets stuck sending. My friend still gets them, but when I look back at my phone, it still says "sending". Going to flash back to JI2 and see if that improves battery life or the MMS issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] hypes057:
im no expert at this, but ive flashed several roms and can prob help you.

first things first - on the vibrant, the sd card titanium backs up to is the internal sd card (16gb) not the 2gb micro sd.

rom manager backup i believe is the same thing as a nandroid but i always boot in recovery from rom manager and hit nandroid from there.

this rom will wipe your data, but your contacts should be stored on the google server - not your phone, so when you finish flashing the rom you can enter your google credentials and they should get restored.

im pretty sure the update.zip is the recovery.

and make sure you put the bionix in the internal sd card (the 16gb NOT the 2gb micro sd) then go to the flash .zip from sd.

you should be good after that.

remember, im not expert - just someone whose flashed several of these roms on my vibrant (franken-twizz and bionix).

and imo, bionix 1.9 is hullagood so far. franken-twizz is a great alt as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Annoyed becaseuse the battery will not die? LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
I apologize for not looking through the thread, but I do not have time as I am going someplace within 15 minutes, but I was wondering if this ROM (1.9.1 as of writing) is okay to flash over JVUFD (the original firmware, not JI6)? Thank You!
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
You have to put the Zip file in the root of internal sd not external. Move the file and it should install like clockwork (pun intended). Your backup for both Titanium and clockwork should both be in there as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Mediahub working fine here.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Thanks for laughing. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Larion:
Just an observation. I have specifically flashed to OTA ROM and 1.9.1 back and forth within an hour and observed that if I run OTA i can get my signal to -81 dB at the same spot and with 1.9.1 I only get -87 dB at the same spot. I thought that both use the same modem(radio). Am I wrong in my assumption?
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
same question here!!!:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
This is all essentially correct. The bolded portion above concerning contacts is the only thing I would change. Unless you have specifically synced your contacts with google, only the contacts on your SIM card will be saved. If they are synced with google than as soon as you sign into your google account and let it sync your contacts will all be there, even pictures.

FYI: For future reference, 99% of the time when someone says sd card, they are referring to your INTERNAL sd card, not the external.

[Vibrant Android Development] benjaminh98:
I may have missed it, but when you are referring to the additional 'lock screens' in the 1.9.1 build, you are talking about the unlocking puzzle-piece right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
How much fluctuation was there? How many times did you repeat? I can sit in the same spot and get more fluctuation than that. Not saying you're wrong, but this is a very hard thing to test.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeySB:
I just flashed 1.9.1 earlier today and he has put the lock screen mods in there again. Epic, Android, Puzzle, and Glass are all good.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You folks that are experiencing a rapid battery drain.. are you using the JI6 modem? If so, then see this page and grab the JI2 modem. The JI6 modem is a known battery hog. You can flash the JI2 modem via clockwork, no wipe needed.

I guess that just goes to show that Samsung doesn't really put much thought into battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] benjaminh98:
Thanks bro...

Im more than ok with keeping 1.9 then..unless, there is a way to backup my app's to save that hassle again..

I used titanium backup and couldnt get anything to restore...Im guessing its human error, but it was a pain in the ass to do that all over again..
[Vibrant Android Development] Larion:
I have flashed each ROM three times within an hour. There was some fluctuation but the OTA ROM always would settle at -81 dB while phone is on the desk in the same spot and 1.9.1 (or 1.9) would settle around -87 dB at the same spot. I would not ask this question if I flashed only once. It is kinda strange.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Just wanted to run this by again. Anyone else seeing a similar issue with disappearing widgets?

***** How to burn the battery down.. (in order to properly calibrate...) ****

These are just my suggestions, not sure if these are the best, but this how I did it. (I have great battery life after following instrcutions).

Turn display to brightess setting, set timeout to 30 minutes (largest avail), turn on BT,Wifi, GPS, I had the survivor app, so i streamed 3 episodes of survivor, at the same time, turned on radio stations to stream and further waste. This got the battery down to about 15% then I just left the bright screen on till it finally dies

charged overnight then been using it alot today and its at 68% with 4-5 hours HEAVY use (10+ phone calls, texting, push email, camera etc)

I did notice that the signal is not as good as 1.7(JI2) is this the same modem?? With 1.7 I got 3g in my house where now I only get edge.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Try MyBackUp Pro.

It's more "Ninny Friendly" :)
[Vibrant Android Development] snorge:
No disrespect to your hard work but why do you release builds as often as you do when it seems the bugs you have fixed are replaced by different ones each time?

Also in your patch notes it would be nice if you'd give a bit more detail as to what you have done rather than say things like "Juiced the hell out of the speed - its really smooth and really fast ."

Don't get me wrong I have tried several of your roms but gave up recently.
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
hey sombionix will you be implementing this into all the kernels of the next version of your rom:

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You should tell the person who's been forcing you to update to take a hike.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
The details are left out because 99% of the people here wouldn't understand it anyways. The bugs that are fixed normally goes on the next rom and maybe its a good thing that you gave up on the roms since you don't have a good understanding on how it works.
[Vibrant Android Development] shehrammajid:
I flashed the 1.9.1 rom today and just out of curiosity also flashed the touchwiz framwork zip. However, I like the way sombionix had it...Is there anyway to undo the framwork zip and go back to the way it was by default in the rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
You think flashing back to stock and then back to 1.9.1 with ji2 better idea? or wont make a difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Thanks for the explanation it should be interesting!!

+1 everything here is SOLID..just ma signal and battery but I think I correct it now.

I notice the same thing..In my house with 3G only in the same spot with 1.8(jI2) I would get more stronger 3G signal but now with 1.9.1 its two bars less..anyways I figure the modem wasn't flashed good so I flashed jI2 and JI6 again..gonna monitor my battery and signal some more now and see if it improves..
[Vibrant Android Development] vgz01:
What if you took a nandroid backup of your current 9 setup, and then flashed (obligatory undo voodoo beforehand reminder) the 9.1 rom and gave titanium another shot? If human error happens again you could simply revert back. I've been using titanium after flashes like so many others, and it works extremely well, so hopefully you just missed something small the last time you tried using it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Killcam:

no need to flash back to stock, just flash the ji2 modem via odin. It takes less than one minute
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
The nerve of some people.....I want you to tell me these bugs you are experiencing, here is why: Those of us that know how to properly flash a ROM and/or know how to troubleshoot a problem in a new ROM ARE NOT EXPERIENCING BUGS! Go figure eh? 99% of the problems you will see reported about a Bionix ROM aren't issues with the ROM, but instead can be traced to the Kernel or a bad flash. It's no coincidence that Sombionix, or a large portion of his other 'regular' users don't experience these bugs either....when you learn how to flash your phone properly (and yes, it may take some trial and error because EVERY PHONE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT) you will not see these issues anymore...the quote below is spot on. Go troll somewhere else.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:

I've been flashing Bionix ROMs since Bionix 1.2 and I've only ever had one bug that I couldn't resolve myself - and that bug was fixed by sombionix within a few hours. A re-flash will fix almost any issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
reflash or a reboot fixes almost all the bugs

ext4 partition on external sd card

so on the external sd card, do we still have to use tatalalal's ext partition method to have data and cache to store on the external sd????

I am thinking that since its all ext4 now. if we can still store all the apps, data, and cache on the external sdcard, we can keep the internal 2GB gets as much as space available to have the phone on the even better condition.

is it right????
