The GPS worked much better in the previous release, Im sure its just a minor configuration glitch and will be resolved soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Quite frankly, I believe people need to take the time to read more. I don't have too many questions to ask simply because I read through first and almost always find my answers. Granted some complaints are legitimate, but it bothers me that some are far too quick to criticize and outright ***** about things that will be addressed in time. I'm no dev, but I know enough to have an idea of what an enormous undertaking building this ROM is.

People...you will be heard. Things will be addressed. sombionix is working his ass of for us! Please show him due respect and word your posts with consideration.
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
He's also using the ext2 loopback "lagfix". This will drastically inflate your Quadrant scores, but as he also mentioned, Quadrant is not the true benchmark of a device. The real test is how it handles for

I am also having gps problems on bionxix 1.3 or eugenes latest I could get quick locks and accuracy to about 30 ft. With 1.6 in some areas i get qwuick lock and accuracy of no better then 50-60 feet and at my home can no longer lock at all. Al lplaces were about 30ft accuracy and less then 30 seconds lock previous.

I absolutely love your roms and will not switch but would like to know how to port my gps settings/files from 1.3 into 1.6
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
You need to enable the Lag Fix through ADB, you will find instructions on how to implement it on the

Since you are using Voodoo, let me ask if you have anything that doesn't work? Or is everything working. I am on 1.5 Voodoo and try to decide whether to flash 1.6.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
You wont have to, were currently working on a flashable update.zip that you will be able to use to make the issues conform to where they should.

Only reason its not probably already done is both myself and bionix are working, soon as the time comes we will be able to resolve this.
[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
I was just asking about general question. I know it's a dev rom and it has its bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
These are the Samsung apps and were distributed by sombionix as a separate samsung_apps.zip which was flashable via clockwork. Glad to see they are shipped with the ROM now.

I don't mind the others but ThinkFree Office is downright annoying. No, I don't want to subscribe to your service every single time I open a document from email!

Anybody know if the compass is working in 1.6? It was working perfectly in JI5, but in JI6 it's borked again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
You would through a whiskey wallpaper in there wouldnt you? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
If JI6 broke it stock then it may not be working, Ill double check after I calibrate. I still need to get outside and reproduce the GPS findings weve been getting
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
I noticed the "Feeds an Updates" widget is back (wasn't in 1.5) which I greatly prefer to the actual facebook App (which I hate because it shows me posts from people I ignore).

I'm not a huge Facebook fan anyway, but in today's world it seems to be a necessary evil so it's nice to have a simple interface to just see what people I'm stalking my friends are up to.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Flashed Bionix 1.6 w/Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo

Flash was good. Everything was working except for GPS. I was previously on Bionix 1.4 w/stock kernel (no oc/uv/voodoo) and GPS was working great.

I tried rebooting a couple times and also made sure Satellites and Network was enabled. I didn't OC at first and things were running great till I changed it to 1.2. The swype keyboard doesn't even pop up anymore or if it does pop up when I try to type it will just highlight the whole keyboard in a blue square. So currently I'm using the samsung keyboard.

Also I noticed when I was trying out Cherry Rplayer it was playing the music fast forward. lol Everything sounded like chipmunks. But I uninstalled it and installed and it and it works fine now. Not sure how the hell the swipe keyboard isn't working anymore. Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this?

I just tried playing Avatar just now and the volume is super low like other people have been experiencing. I tried playing also on Youtube and the volume seems fine on there.

I guess I'll just try reflashing it one more time. If I still get the same issues I'll try the non Voodoo version of 1.6 and report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
For those who want to get rid of Think Free Office:

Open Root File Manager and go to /system/app

find the thinkdroid apk and delete it

That app should no longer bother you :)
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
TOTAL noob question here, is it possible there are slight differences in the GPS hardware we are all running (hardware revision numbers or something)?

That would explain the variance in working vs. not.

or gremlins.
[Vibrant Android Development] Foobyte:
THanks. I'll need to try this too once I get a full charge.

Was at the gym and listening to music and everytime I got a notification (like facebook) or even randomly the phone froze up. Tried to SetCPU 200-800 just to make sure, but still crashes.

Might be going back to stock until 2.2 ... :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
More than possible, but I cant confirm it yet cause im underground lol

I need to test and then dalvik debug my system to see if it works as intended.

There have been lots of reports of the GPS not working back when it worked perfectly for everyone else, Im not sure exactly whats happened to it but it will be resolved.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I believe you. That's why I'm not stressed about it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
one more noob question, I like the star field live wallpaper but will that likely to eat up my battery much?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Yup, this is why I run Bionix ROMs.. never seen a problem go unfixed :)

I'm sticking with bionix1_6_JACS_OCUV

Magnificent job by Sombi (my new nickname for you) and the whole crew that is putting in some long hours. With the exception of a few ungrateful folks (and you know who you are) who want perfection (people perfection doesn't exist), I believe the great majority of people posting are wonderfully satisfied and very thankful with your work.

Keep it up and call the doctor if it lasts longer than four hours...:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] bl4ckdr4g00n:
this firmware made me wait forever to lock the satellite. The frankin-twiz's better in terms of GPS but it was terribly unstable. IMO, bionix 's much more stable.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
The GPS issue is still an bleeding edge issue, it was not a known issue until roughly an hour or two ago.

I promise everything is being done within resonable ability to restore it, Hopefully a GPS fix will be available shortly.
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
ViralBlack,

Do you know anything about the "flashable.zip" file that used to be attached to the OP for people that want a stock look but keep all the other goodness of bionix? SomBionix refers to it on page 50

[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
There will be one, but at the moment there isnt. It requires making a version of all the changes that were made for this rom and remaking it into a version with the graphics changes as well.

It will probably be at least a few days if not longer to finish that.
[Vibrant Android Development] merlino211:
30 minutes no GPS lock, continual seek, 0 finds
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
No, thats JI6, which is what were here fixing ;) That I promise you is not froyo

No. Just no. Read it again. Not Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Which is why were working on a fix ;) Which I cant flash, cause Im reanswering this question lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
That flashable.zip will not work with this build because the framework has changed since then. You can do it manually and it really isn't that difficult.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Well, not perfect, but as good as it ever has been. My old G1 still has a MUCH better GPS setup than the Vibrant ever has. However, with JI2 files, it's now in my "acceptable" range. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] merlino211:

[Vibrant Android Development] eweo911:
Quick question,

I appreciate SomBionix for doing this but I am finding it too unstable on my Vibrant for right now.

I have disabled the voodoo lag fix and have a nand backup from my previous rom (franken-twiz). Can I simply bott into recovery now that voodoo is disabled and nand back? or is there anything else I need to do first? like flash a different kernel before I do that?

Post-flash, hangs on Vibrant boot screen? Help appreciated.

Hey all, I think I managed to flash this successfully but I had the phone plugged in and charging at the time. When it went to automatically reboot, it plunked me back onto the green battery screen that usually displays when the phone is off and charging. I thought that was odd, so I tried rebooting the device myself. It still brought me to the charging screen.

So I unplugged the Vibrant from power, and tried to reboot one more time. This time, it managed to get to the black and white Vibrant boot screen but it's been like this for about 10 minutes now. I realize from the instructions that the initial boot sequence after flashing is supposed to take a little longer, but is it supposed to take this long? At what point should I power down and attempt a restore? Thanks for the assist.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
same.

i would go back to 1.4 for now but i can wait, i'm already spoiled by the browser improvements!
[Vibrant Android Development] Mekael83:
bugs...

I flashed from 1.4 to 1.6 last night and I love it. Awesome ROM.

I've run into two bugs however:

1. When I turn the phone on its side, it doesn't rotate the screen like it did in 1.4. It actually never rotates the screen, not even in the web browser. It's the like sensor isn't working. I've checked the settings and it should be working. I've rebooted a couple times

2. I can't get anything to connect to the phone's mobileAP. It gets stuck at "Acquiring IP address". It worked great in 1.4 and all I've changed is the ROM version. I've rebooted, changed the name of the network, password, etc.

Anyone else run into these problems? Should I reflash or are these known issues?
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Were you running Voodoo and didn't disable it before you flashed? If so follow the direction on page 1 to ODIN back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] bullale:
Rotating works perfectly for me. I haven't tried mobile AP yet.

(My GPS is also not working)
[Vibrant Android Development] brainstormerus:
No, I wasn't running Voodoo. I had RyanZA's lag fix before (along with the JI2 GPS fix) but I made sure to remove both before attempting the flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Here is a flashable zip that changes all of the notifications back to stock and changes the battery to stock look with percentage. I take very little credit for this as I just replaced the images from another Mod and put them in Bionix's framework and the made it an update. It works though. I also made the GMail notification red. http://www.4shared.com/file/0xJpS1wv/Semi_Stock_look.html

Edit : It does nothing to the rest of the theme, just the notifications, battery, and signal.

Credit goes to s0niqu3 for the original mod HERE
[Vibrant Android Development] Jayrod1980:
I love the rom but can't get think free to activate and the fonts look strange in my email

Edit: also gps isn't working well... Never happened on a bionix rom before
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
The extended wait time has typically been while the "S" is glowing rather than when "Vibrant" is being displayed.

Were you running Voodoo? If so, did you disable it before flashing v1.6?

If you can't get to past the "Vibrant" logo screen, I'd consider it bricked (for whatever reason) and re-flash to stock via ODIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] briankao1992:
Does anybody else have their in call volume reversed? Like when my in call volume is all the way up, it us really soft, and vice versa
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
ummm...Since you can't get past the Vibrant boot screen have you tried getting into recovery and loading NAN backup?

If not, then I'm afraid that you will have to reflash through ODIN.

GPS FIX

http://www.multiupload.com/XK0WAL1ZZJ

This is a flashable zip, you place it on the internal SD card.

1) Reboot into clockwork recovery

2) Select Flash from Zip

3) Select Zip from Storage

4) Flash

5) Reboot

6) Reboot

7) Allow to boot fully, 7 second GPS locks regained on both my Vibrants.

this is an update not a full ROM replacement

Simply flash over existing system.

@sombionix @Viralblack GPS bug information

I flashed 1.6 JACs OC/UV kernel earlier this morning and GPS wasn't working - no locks after several minutes.

I just flashed 1.6 w/ stock kernel and GPS locks on to several birds in under 5 seconds.

Could the GPS issue be a problem with the kernel?

I'd be honored to have it stickied, but if so I'd appreciate it if some confirmed member can add the link to the RFS vs EXT4 vs EXT2 and so on thread that I tried to link. Maybe I can pm it to someone? It's a RyanZA thread in the i9000 forums and the best explanation for what the deal is with RSF. Nevermind, guess I'm confirmed now, woot! Anyway, I'll post it over in the bible and generalize it.

You're going to laugh, I totally tried to flash my phone today without disabling Voodoo, hurrrr.

I had this problem. Reflashing seems to help. I can't confirm that it makes a difference, but I did do a manual wipe before installing (Bionix auto-wipes).
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I have debugging on and mount my cards without any problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, you must disable the voodoo lagfix before flashing the new rom or you'll be very sad....trust me, I learned the hard way.

Thank you sombionix!

Quick kinda noob question. If I use Odin to restore to the leaked firmware T-959UVJI2, will this wipe out any lag fix I may have and be clean enough to install Bionix 1.3 w/ Voodoo? Hope that makes sense.
[Vibrant Android Development] shuka325:
"Download: Bionix1.3

Download: Bionix1.2 w/Voodoo beta4 OC@1.2Ghz"

Are these supposed to be both 1.3?

Can someone post some screenshots of what the black theme looks like? I have a friend who is interested and I won't be able to post pics until I get home.
[Vibrant Android Development] aenima4six2:
I would say that's a yes. I deduced this by looking at the file names, they are "bionix1_3.zip" and "bionix1_3_voodoob4.zip".

These roms rock! Awesome work :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yea, my mistake, its updated now.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
First, If you are going to use odin to flash back, I suggest using the stock Vibrant build, not the leaked. Second, I'm not sure which lag fix you're using but if you're using Voodoo, you DEFINITELY need to disable it before flashing anything, even using odin. If you attempt to flash without disabling, you will lose your EXT4 partition and your data will not wipe. You'll get a black screen after the Galaxy S screen.
