How long does installation typically take? My phone has been sitting at

-- Installing: SDCARD:/bionix1_3_voodoob4.zip

Finding update package...

for about an hour now. Should I pull battery, boot into recovery, and try again? I am flashing from bionix v1.2, no lagfix installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] rpope904:
Quick question, I installed the last version a few days ago, it is awesome.. I could not use the OC version, due to freezes.. any way around this, or any chance of this OC version working better? (I know it's no fault of the rom makers, didnt want it to sound like that) Just hopeful :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I would suggest using Bionix1.3 with kingklicks OC kernal. At the very least, you crank the clock speed down to 1Ghz and you still have the UV advantages his kernel provides. Should help with battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] yodaddy:
Thanks for keeping touchwiz!! I don't understand why so many people want to revert back to a stock and plain android look, what makes our vibrants different and better is TW.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yeah, definitely shouldn't be taking that long. Typical flash time is about 1 minute. Pull and try again. I had that happen to me one time out of the thousand times I've flashed this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yeah, I personally like it. I think a lot of people think it bogs the phone down a lot, and maybe it does slightly, but these phones are speedy. I don't really notice. There are also a lot of people that think it looks too much like the iphone UI, but hey, they knew what they were buying and how it looked before they bought it....so yeah.
[Vibrant Android Development] BossDj:
Love your work. This new black is tits! It boots fast and runs smooth. I swear my downloads are faster now too, coming from your 1.2. I'm still somewhat of a noob in the Android world, but I'm learning, have played a bunch, and I like your roms best. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
Thank you. Got it work after the 4th reboot. Hope you don't mind if I am a cheap bastard for not donating. I can make you some great sushi if you happen to be here in Gainesville, Florida.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
If I'm flashing from Bionix 1.2 and did the lag fix that you posted (through ADB) do I need to disable your version of lag-fix? If so, how?
[Vibrant Android Development] m3ta1head:
Interesting-I pulled the battery and tried again-it hung the second time. Tried it again-I guess the 3rd times the charm because it's working perfectly :D

Thanks for your hard work...this is my new daily for sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Ok, will try that. Then I assume I Root>Rom Manager>Flash Clockwork>Transfer Bionix1.3 to internal sdcard somehow>Reboot into Clockwork>Flash Bionix>Reboot>Reboot>Finish setup, etc> Enjoy ??? Am I missing any step? lol, I think I got it... wish me luck man...
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
can voodoo be put on top of 1.3kingflickoc?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
NO, they are both kernels, its one or the other.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Is it possible to remove the startup sounds?

I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
[Vibrant Android Development] m3ta1head:
Simply rename them. I just add .zip to the end.

/system/etc/PowerOn.wav

/system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg

Use Astro/Root Explorer.
[Vibrant Android Development] pandnaka:
am happy with the 1.2 should i flash 1.3? I hate to install all my app and games all over again!

Thank :)
[Vibrant Android Development] fiso010:
do the Stock and KingKlick Kernels have any lagfix included ???
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Kinda peterbed at the Voodoo bugging out on me and not disabling, this is a PITA
[Vibrant Android Development] Superfrag:
I have a question, I have installed your Bionix 1.3 ROM with Voodoo. I just wanted to ask, I want to try out the latest FrankinTwiz, as well as your Bionix 1.3 with KingKlick Kernel. How exactly do I get rid of the Voodoo Lagfix?

Does disabling it as per your instructions in the OP do the job? Or do I have to do something more than that?
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
I dont think so. I have king klicks kernal and I dont notice any thing as far as a lag fix
[Vibrant Android Development] Owenv:
Since we have Super AMOLED, more black pixels on the screen should mean more battery life. Just keep that in mind.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Well, it is a loss of functionality not to be able to push a dot to move immediately to a screen that would otherwise take 5-6 swipes to get to. What are the dots for if not that?
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
What are the dots for if not that?

I agree I think they should be removed all together. Man I have been listening to music since 1.7 came out. From 60% to 43% in the several hours its been out. I cant kill this PHONE!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Chronos2187:
I have noticed my gps is only locking onto 7\12 in 1.7 instead of the 9-10\12 in 1.6. Other than that this rom works amazingly well, great work Bionix and Viral!
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
7/12 & 9-10/12 can simply mean many things outside of the ROM/Modem file. Cloud cover, satellite position, magnetic field, global warming, what you ate for dinner, etc. Test it out over a period of time to see how it works.

As for me, finally getting to flash this. :D Was one long night at work and reading through the many many pages to catch up on things.
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitywithin1:
The paid version of titanium does this just fine if you batch backup all apps and data, then batch restore the same, then reboot.

edit: I didn't notice the touchwiz reference in the original question. I haven't used touchwiz since day one, so I have no idea if titanium works for tw homescreen backup. I know it works for zeam homescreen backup well enough.

:: Vibrant; Bionix 1.7 w/JACs OC/UV + Voodoo; Zeam Luancher; XDA app ::
[Vibrant Android Development] infinitywithin1:
Awesome work devs, I really appreciate your hard work and quick turnaround. I love the new marketplace as well as all the other perks that come with this ROM. Well done.

I might even put this one on my wifes vibrant. I've left her on stock so far so that her phone remains stable, but this one here might just have to go on there (I'll wait a day or so)

:: Vibrant; Bionix 1.7 w/JACs OC/UV + Voodoo; Zeam Luancher; XDA app ::
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Yes; my touchwiz home screens were restored with Titanium just as populated.
[Vibrant Android Development] bchalk:
So can we stop putting super loud, long and annoying PowerOn.wav's back in to the file system? I mean I appreciate the work, but it's annoying to have to remove them every time.

Also for what it's worth I restored a nandroid backup of my data and datadata folders (no system or cache) and it worked great for an upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 without having to re-install everything via titanium. Hopefully I didn't bork anything by doing this, but seems to be running fine...
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Issue with Messaging app skin. See image.

The background of any MMS content is still the light blue.
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
What backup option in titanium will back up the home screen? My restores never restore the home screen, so I must not be backing up the right thing. None of the backup options say "home screen" that I can see....

Skip
[Vibrant Android Development] brainstormerus:
Awesome work, guys. Not to advertise my noob-ness, but Bionix 1.6 was my first foray into custom ROMs and I've learned a ton over the last few days. You guys have made things a lot easier for a first-timer (especially during a near-brick experience on Friday, when my device rejected 1.6 w/ the OC kernel and I had to retreat to the stock kernel).

One question: with 1.7, is viralblack's GPS-lock fix no longer necessary like it was for some under 1.6? In general, I'm still having trouble locating birds, let alone acquiring a signal -- although, being in cloudy London at the moment might have something to do with that...
[Vibrant Android Development] rbaggio00:
guys just a quick question i have Bionix 1.6 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel and want to update to Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel can i just flash it over or do i need to disable anything,
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
You need to disable voodoo and then you can just flash the 1.7 flavor of your choice. After you flash, you should be able to remove the disable-lagfix file and you should be golden.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbaggio00:
i tried that and i cant get it to work, i created a new folded in SD card and created a file disable-lagfix, but i still get dev/block/mmcblk0p4'.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Went from v1.5 to v1.7. It's f-ing sweet! :eek:

Thanks so much for the 2.2 Market as well!

Any chance of getting the 2.2 GMail app to work on this 2.1 rom? I miss it ever since switching from Eugene's Froyo JP3. It's my only daily regret ATM.

Just a working apk alone would be enough for me. There's another donation in it for ya! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] toy_racer_17:
Download: Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel

the link wont download for me. the stock kernel and w/voodoo will. i should be able to just flash the oc kernel over stock correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Make sure you're creating the Voodoo (uppsercase 'V') folder on the internal SD card, not the external, and then create the disable-lagfix file, without a file extension, inside that Voodoo folder and check again.
[Vibrant Android Development] JoeSkeen:
Viral's previously posted GPS fix was for 1.6 only. The "fix" is incorporated into 1.7.

Settings > Location and Security > Use wireless networks. If you turn that option on, it should help with the locking. Also, it usually seems like with these ROMs, GPS tends to work much better once you get your first solid lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Question 1.7 is great but I'm not getting any locks on my gps when I'm using maps when I used the fix on 1.6 it worked , so what if I use the fix on this version still it mess something up?

Edit: got a lock thanks to joe s post
[Vibrant Android Development] rbaggio00:
got it thanks for some reason i thought it was the external card,
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
I didn't do anything special after installing 1.7 and GPS Test reports In View: 11, In Use: 9, Accuracy: ~ 15-20 ft. Locked under 10 secs here. WiFi and "Use Wireless Networks" are also off.
[Vibrant Android Development] gunked:
Linda has such a soft reassuring yet curiously sexy voice. Thanks Sombionix! :p
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:
Great work, battery is insane. This is the best of them all! Som and Viral, great work guys. I've just loaded 1.7 with Voodoo on five different Vibrants and they are all working great. There owners are very happy with there purchase. Thanks

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Have any of you been able to compare this with FTwiz final? Does Bionix retain a lot of the stock (Samsung apps) or tend toward AOSP? I'd just as soon stick with a ROM that is a slimmed down updated version of Samsung's firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I tried Frankin-Twiz before switching to Bionix 1.3 and Bionix seemed to lean more toward Samsung firmware so I stuck with Bionix. Give Bionix 1.7 a try, I think you'll like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] shaboogy2255:
Omfg this rom is amazing. I fell asleep last night without charging it at about 1025 it is now 913 and is still on 100%.... to save alot of battery you must first charge to 100% while the phone is off. Then you have to let it die completely without charge. Also another thing that really helps is to download auto memory manager from the market and set to aggresive. This stops the non important apps from ruining in the background all the time. Also download start up manager. And disable everything you don't want from starting up. You will get about 5 days on this rom seriously no joke.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
bionix keeps allshare and most of the Samsung apps. He also has a zip file with ALL stock Sammy apps.

I bounce between Franken, Butter and Froyo. I keep coming back to the butter though.
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Awe. Just gave it my overnight battery test and the results are stunning.

I charged phone to full went to bed at like 1:00am and woke up like 8 and the battery had not dropped even one percent. Battery drain problem in standby fixed completely.

I also tested GPS and while the stock GPS in 1.7 works really well I have found that injecting all the gps files from JI6 at least for me gives me one or 2 extra satellites locked and a SLIGHT improved accuracy (I would say about 5-10 feet improvement.

Really happy with this build in all likelihood will not change roms again till a stable polished froyo emerges

Thanks for all your hard work
[Vibrant Android Development] smutek:
Good to hear! Will be updating from 1.4 this weekend.

Thanks bionix And viral!
[Vibrant Android Development] jgiard6:
Any fix yet for third party apps like twidroyd displaying blacked out text in the notification bar?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaphod_fl:
In a word... AWESOME!
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
+1

Even though we have established that this is the BEST ROM.. You make a valid point.. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Only one issue on my phone when I delete a song from my music player it force closes -_- lol

Edit: its nothing serious I just wanna know if I'm the only one lol
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
There used to be a way to revert to the stock framework-res look which would probably fix that but I don't see it in the OP ATM. Perhaps someone else can either direct you to it or it is being updated for compatibility / later release.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Confirmed. Not the only one. It does the same here.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I don't use the stock one anyways.. It is a battery hog
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
That type of package needs to be re-written for the framework of the new ROM in order for the stock look to work correctly. Viralblack said he would be working on metamorphs once 1.7 was released.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
O ok bro thanks for letting me know my phone ain't bugging lol
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
+1

Try Meridian (free market app), it has more features and doesn't hog the battery like the stock app does.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yeah boiiii
[Vibrant Android Development] renardk764:
Nicely Done

Excellent. I can't wait to see what this team does with froyo when we get it.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Force closing when deleting music also...

Every time a "bug" is submitted without a logcat, jesus kills a puppy.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
All you people are silly.

- 3G icon is not on when WiFi is on for me.

- From a cold start up, GPS saw 6 birds in 10 seconds, was locked onto all 6 by 15 seconds. By 20 seconds, GPS saw 9 birds, and was locked in to all 9. Accuracy of 25 ft initially, after about 30 seconds that was down to about 15 ft.

I used the GPS navigation via Google Maps on my way to work this morning and it worked flawlessly. I lost signal half way to work for about 15 seconds, but it locked right back on.

- I can confirm the FC on some live wall papers, I will attempt to post a logcat tonight if no else has yet. (I have yet to get ADB shell to talk to my phone, I think it's a driver issue).

I got nothing else.

RANT TIME:

You people need to calm down and realize what Som and Viral has done here. They don't charge you people anything for the hours upon hours of hard work (after their 40 hour work week full time jobs) and I see WAY too many complaints in this thread, if you don't like a feature, deal with it or figure out a way to customize it to your liking, (this is android OS, not windows) don't complain to them about it. The majority of people love everything Som puts in his ROMs, and to be honest it is a bit unnerving to me to see so many people *****ing and whining about stupid **** when Som and many others have put in countless hours of selfless work for you. If you are having issues with the ROM, post a logcat so they can look into it. If you seem to have an issue with something that isn't widespread, you probably have a flash error. Flash back to stock and re-flash the ROM, this fixes most problems every time. And to all the people *****ing about search, go here: http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=642 read the NUMBER 1 RULE OF THE FORUMS and STFU.

/end rant.

Have a nice day! Lovin the new ROM!
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Phone on 1.7 is prompting my for a password. I didn't set one up though.

Is there a way I can find out what's going on behind the scenes using ADB?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
Yeah!!! Lets turn this into a n00b bashing thread!! I've got my pitchfork, torch, USB cable and soldering iron. Lets take these bastards out.

Ok...maybe I had a bit too much caffeine already. Just wait until I break into the Rockstars.
[Vibrant Android Development] glitterballs:
+ every (+) I have to give because clearly a +1 isn't enough for this.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Is the wcdma, gsm only option vs just 2g that's on this rom due to the .bin? I kinda like that option and sometimes its there and sometimes not. No biggie just wondering cause the wcdma only option is on the official but not this... So im assuming the.bin is responsible?

Thanks good rom guys..... Just the music deleting issue, I'd post logcat if a. I was by a pc, b. I knew how (yea search) or c. I cared about jesus killing puppies....

Great job guys..
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
This mods stinks..... CUZ ITS THE ****!!!

AWESOME WORK
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Thanks for the recommendation. I tried used MixZing for a while but didn't like it so I went back to stock music player after that. I completely missed this one somehow. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
Just tried to google that...cant find it you have a link?...and yes i did serach the forum :D

Never mind misread..LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] samoelito:
does the 1.7 fix the video player prob?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Try 3 in the market. Search filipe abrantes.. Cool widget... Ok sorry off topic..
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
the UI is sweet...just not really usable when driving.
[Vibrant Android Development] dev_man77:
Oh man. Thanks alot SOM! Really great ROM. Went from stock kernel frankin twiz to 1.7 w/ voodoo. So much smoother. Nice wallpaper pack. Will be making a donation to your jameson fund soon! Great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] soloecho7:
I just went from 1.4 to 1.7 both stock kernal versions and I must say this is an excellent rom as was 1.4

I checked my sats and I'm getting 11 in veiw and locking on 10 I'd say that's pretty good 1.4 I would see around 9 and lock 4 or 5 so a definate improvement ill see how battery life goes today and charge and wipe stats tomarrow. So far so good and the start up and shut down is awesome as is the stock wallpaper I think I may actually leave it instead of going back to my greenbay packers wallpaper. All in all awesome job thanks to everyone who had a hand in this amazing rom a donation will be coming. Thanks again guys
[Vibrant Android Development] D-REW:
First of all, thank you for the great ROM. Everything is working perfectly for me and no problems at all yet.

Now I know the FFC should work, but so far video calling is not working yet. Do you guys know if its the camera or a software issue? I'm willing to donate a FFC to Bionix, Viral, or Master if one of you guys think you're able to make the video calling work. Let me know! Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] soloecho7:
I completely agree with you dragoth these guys do and do for use vibrant users and all people do is ***** and moan I want this I want that some and viral are doing an amazing job with these roms its not a job for them its obviously a hobby and a hobby should be fun so stop your *****ing and complaining poeple or this may no longer be fun for these guys and then what were stuck with Samsung good luck with that one.if you have a problem with your phone its more than likely a bad flash or operator error so read before you *****. Sorry that's my rant for the day. Good job som and viral keep up the amazing work
[Vibrant Android Development] byt3b0mb:
love the bionix line of roms!!! 1.7 is awesome - hope to get stock messaging app back on it and hopefully setcpu at boot! other than that friggin awesome!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
Jeez! I just downloaded 1.6 yesterday and haven't even flashed it yet. Guess it's on to 1.7. I think I'll be brave this time and try the Voodoo version. Keep up the good work!

I Definitely wont be able to do diagnostics on that stuff till I have one in hand

[Vibrant Android Development] SizAndals:

Alright ladies and gentlemen the rules apply today as they did yesterday. This is NOT your self help clinic and we dont practice litteral voodoo, so without the proper information your "bug report" does us no good. ALL bug reports will be submitted here with a logcat and short description.

https://sites.google.com/site/androidhowto/how-to-1/save-logcat-to-a-text-file

^ That explains how to get a logcat to put into a pastebin.com to link here

Just remember...

Every time a "bug" is submitted without a logcat, jesus kills a kitten

We cant fix your issue without knowing the whole problem. Logcat or GTFO.

The battery life seems awesome so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Hey. I have a couple questions and concerns. First, I can no longer see all the apps in the android market. For instance, I can't find Google Earth anymore. I remember seeing a fix for a similar market issue, but don't remember where it is and the xda android app doesn't have search. Second, I miss the media hub I had with the frankin twiz rom. Anybody have that app so I can get it back again?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Some of us have noticed that the JI4+ modem is able to get and hold a 3G connection where we could not with the older modems. Some people have better and worse battery life. Myself, i get MUCH better 3G and about the same battery life, so I'm VERY happy with the JI6 modem and would be pissed if things went back to the way they were which had me on EDGE most of the time.

Perhaps the newer modem bin is more agressive in seeking out the 3G connection or checks more often. If you've already GOT a good 3g this may result in higher battery usage (more frequent signal checks), or maybe it is boosting the signal higher which you didn't need. But for those of us who were constantly banging between 2G and 3G every 20 seconds, the lack of constant changes in the signal improved battery life?
