I can select it but it generally faults or fails. No force closes but dumb things like refusing to acknowledge new applications being installed, etc.

It just doesnt seem to like the phone, thats why I just got used to TWiz, I actually like it now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Negative. Nary a problem with LauncherPro with any release of Bionix.
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
I'm finding it harder and harder to get to sleep these days... I keep refreshing waiting for a new rom :-)

Just can't seem to get enough. I feel sorry for my phone next week as I am going in for surgery Monday and will be out of work for 2 weeks. Just think, all that free time with my phone...

Really love Bionix!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Hmm. I havent had this issue.. I am using LauncherPro Plus (The newest version)

I have NO issues :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
May have just been random, but it worked out, as I said I kinda got used to TWiz
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
I'm new to the Galaxy S stuff. Been flashing ROMs and stuff on all kinds of handsets but these are a little different so please forgive me for this stupid question...

I installed 1.5 with the Voodoo kernel. so does that mean that it includes the Voodoo lag fix or that it's simply optimized to flash voodoo on top of it?

So, do I need to flash voodoo or not?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
Dude im in the same boat...and your not the only one lol..

Samsung vibrant running bionix 1.5 voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Thanks so much for the response. I really appreciate it as I am new to the bionix rom and the vibrant but not new to flashing(had an n1). Just wanna to make sure of a few things(especially the kernels, got find the right one), so I hope I didn't come across as annoying. Just trying my best to adjust to flashing things with the Vibrant.

I think I have just 3 questions left. The first is that I am currently on j16 stock, should I factory reset, wipe then flash bionix 1.5(maybe 1.4 is best)? or I can just flash bionix(without problems)? I'm guessing I need root? and My last question, What happens if I like Bionix too much? :D:D

I wouldn't know, I'm new to his roms. You make not want to try it out..
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
He was saying it was updated.. It wasn't a question lol

Yeah there was 1.3, 1.4 (Witch was just released), 1.5 (Witch was just released), & 1.6 will be here within a few days
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Oh..so it's being updated as we speak then and be made available on a later date correct? I'm guessing jacs kernel are the best right? which is the best for non over clockers like me who just want the best battery life? off topic..:o
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Yeah, I read the known issues and CERTAINLY would not have upgraded had I known bluetooth wasn't working. Wires dangling = not cool.

If it is just a permissions issue... perhaps a commandline fix so the adb aware among us could patch it ourselves?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
JACs are overclocked.. But just because it is OC'ed doenst mean it affects battery life..
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
JACs is my favorite, just be careful with Voodoo kernels, they contain dragons.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
I have a problem with rooting and i think it all started w/ voodoo.

I rooted many times before and this is the first time i ran into this problem.

In recovery mode it says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory). I even tried the one click root/unroot program to no avail.

I think the problem started when i was on Bionix 1.4w/Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo kernel and JI5 modem. I decided i want to upgrade to JI6 from bionix 1.5. I did the disable-lagfix in the voodoo folder, restarted my phone and check with terminal and typed mount to see if it was disabled which it was.

Now here is what started giving me problems. After the voodoo was disabled i notice a whole bunch of my apps including the market, clockwork recovery, titanium back up, setcpu and all rooted programs was missing. So before i decided to upgrade to bionix 1.5. I removed the disable-lagfix and rebooted my phone. When the phone was rebooted the missing apps are still missing.

Next thing i decided to do was restore my phone back to stock rom following the steps in the bionix 1.5 thread, which requires flashing it w/ eugene froyo rom then flashing it again w/ stock vibrant 2.1 rom.

Now since im on the stock 2.1 rom i havent been able to root my phone either doing it the manual way or using one click root/unroot program. PLEASE HELP me find a solution
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
You already posted this in the Q&A.. do you really think it is necessary to post it here?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Reodin the JFD image, you cant be correctly flashed to stock if youre unable to rool. When you flash make sure you select repartition and you use the JFD image, may want to download another and check the MD5 for integrity.

there is nothing that remains behind when you do this proceedure, so if it doesnt work then logically the image was corrupt or your hardware has substantially failed somewhere and needs replaced.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I may be mistaken and I'm sure someone else can clarify for sure, but I believe these ROM's are simply optimized for use with Voodoo, so you would still need to flash Voodoo on top of the ROM. I am not certain though as I don't use Voodoo. Kinda scares me to be honest. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
SO no vodoo kernels ..then that leave either jacs or KingKlicks OC/UV kernel..I guessing i should choose KingKlicks for optimal battery life without over clocking..I guess that means I'm flashing 1.4 instead..o well...
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
if i install the non-voodoo version, do i still need to do that manual lag-fix through adb? or is that now built in? i initially tried to do it, but it says that userinit.sh is not found or something about the directory. Anyway, this rom is smooth and silky, me likey. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
I personally love the voodoo kernels. Try it out can't hurt. Just read up on it first.
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
I wiped mine and flash all non Voodoo and it is just Zippy zippy, really love this ROM, just waiting for the BT fix and it is perfect. I was getting a bit Froyo envy but not now. I chose not to Voodoo because I don't know how much trouble I would be in when Froyo does come (if ever) to the Vibrant, removing or updating, just want to be safe. I could not be happier with how it all turned out.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
+1 You can always disable Voodoo though..
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
ok thanks..i dnt want to overclock so thats why im asking which is best
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Voodoo has nothing to do with overclocking. Both versions of 1.5 come with a kernel that can be overclocked if you so wish, but are NOT overclocked by default. Voodoo just transforms an rfs file system into an ext4 file system effectively removing the lag associated with the rfs file system (did that make sense?). Neither roms force you to overclock....

If I was you I would try the non-voodoo version first. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] DiscombobulatedBoobalator:
Ultimate noob alert.

I've successfully flashed this rom without asking questions so bear with me. Can anyone explain to me how to go back to my previous set up which was just rooted running the RyanZA lag fix? I really like this but it's real laggy on my phone and I feel like I'm in over my head and would be better off staying out of this kind of stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Did you happen to make a nandroid backup of your previous rom before flashing this one?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
All roms are laggy upon first boot up. You need to reboot several times, install Rom Manager and apply its Fix Permissions routine. Theres nothing to worry about, you just successfully flashed one of the best Vibrant OS's out there. Give the phone time to settle into its new environment, and give yourself time to settle into your new phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] DiscombobulatedBoobalator:
I used rom manager and flashed the clockwork recovery then, with my phone mounted to my computer (that sounds dirty), I added the rom to the root of my phone and unmounted. After that I used rom manager to reboot into recovery where I then flashed the bionix rom. That's exactly how I did it if that helps. Thank you very much for responding!
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
Just finished reading a bunch of posts. I believe that I read that even if you have the larger NAND that voodoo may work for you?
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Voodoo may NOT work for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] DiscombobulatedBoobalator:
I'll trust you. I have rebooted a few times and tried re-installing LauncherPro (I'm used to it) and I've had a lot of lag going on. I like to do things by trial and error and really don't like to bother people with questions so I really do appreciate the quick replies.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
For what ever reason YES it might work for you, voodoo is something you just have to try to see if it works for you or not. Please know what you are doing first though. I tried voodoo for several weeks and could not get it to work, then I flashed my phone back to day1 stockness and tried again and it worked perfectly. My nand is the 416MB variety and voodoo works great although they say its not supposed to... rubbish....
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
Alright then thanks. Flashing a kernel is pretty simple. And if it doesn't work it will just be disabled. No biggie.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Im still using bionix 1.4 with LP and it runs like a beast, smoother than butter. I read that some others have had troubles with LP and 1.5 though. If you think that might be your problem, you might want to hang tight for 1.6. Or try 1.4... First things first. What version did you flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
EXACTLY! My phone ran just fine with the voodoo kernel and it was not enabled. Remember if you try it use adb or a terminal to check if its enabled or not, instrucs on the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] DiscombobulatedBoobalator:
bionix 1.5

The weird thing is that LauncherPro doesn't recognize my contacts in the dock either. I'm guessing it's something screwy going on between the two.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
No, I meant did you voodoo or not? 1.5 with or without voodoo?... lol
[Vibrant Android Development] xanvincent:
LP did this for me too (using 1.4), manually set the contacts launcher to the Contacts app and it'll work fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] DiscombobulatedBoobalator:
Drrr. Without.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Any updates on 1.6?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yep!......still workin on it. lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
Wow, I need to upload my proof of 19 hours battery life using setcpu and lowering my CPU speed while screen is off. Also with the J16 modem, I am getting almost 4mb download when before I use to only get 987k :O wow and my benchmark is usually around 1900 which is way past all the other devices. Who needs froyo when you have all this : ) the only thing missing is flash 10.1
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
ahahah I meant, the release date :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Need anything else other then some sleep and some vodka? (Cause its still technically National Vodka day, even if its almost 3am
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
thanks..well I've flashed 1.5( there goes my 1.4 first plan:rolleyes:) ..so far it's great, trying to get use to it..I have started my LONG LONG LONG process of restoring my apps( 104 apps to go) through the non donated version of titanium back up( I REALLY MISS ANDROID DEFAULT AUTO RESTORE :(..f u samsung)

Anyway as expected no bluetooth..thinking of flashing 1.4 now since I use bluetooth headphones and 1.6 is no where in sight..
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Do us all a favor sombio, make a new thread for 1.6:D
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Well, don't know about the vodka, buts its only 12:55am here and I'm enjoying a PBR.

[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
but it was a NATIONAL vodka day..... youre not a communist are you -.-
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
That might be a good idea, especially since you get to keep the JI6 modem. Im jealous now...

@ som, what makes the JI6 such a good modem? I keep seeing people talk about their 1.6 modem being such a great improvement, but no one says what it actually improves, i.e voice clarity, signal strength etc....
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Hmmm, your in the same time zone as I? Ok well its 1am here and this is my bed time. Looks like I now have to wait a week before I can try 1.6. Laters everyone, hope the next release works out great. Peace...
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
2 AM Here :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
WOW!! you guys talking about time zones..I just notice what time it really is..it's 3:14am here!! and I got college tomorrow..THANKS ALOT SOMBIONIX!!! I'm am so late tomorrow!! :D :D

:D better signal really and more stable! otherwise didn't know the modem file can improve voice :D
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Honestly...I've been using it for two days and I personally can't see a significant difference. I'm sure for SOME it may have improved their connection or throughput, but I don't really see it. Then again, I'm up in the mountains and get crap service anyway. Nothing would really help my situation. haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wykedx:
i installed eugenes vibrant9 rom,

i notice that this has much more following and pages than that rom,

anyone mind telling me why this one is different or better?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Umm, yeah its like a month newer, lol...
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
Really no other way to tell other than just diving in man. Its easy enough to backup and restore if you dont like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
I'm hoping its not the hardware problem. I flashed the stock rom over many times including selecting repartition. the funny thing is, only when I'm in recovery that it wont detect my sd card or any update.zip files. but when i use an app like astro file manager i can access the sd card. Is there a way to check if its a hardware issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
@sombionix You needa hook us up with a beta again ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Basically, at this point either your SD is bad or something more serious is going on. If you have a second SD card trial that and see if it works normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
At this point I'm thinking the sd card is bad. Im probably gonna replace it with another one through tmobile since i only had the phone for 14 days.

Thanks for your help Viralblack.
[Vibrant Android Development] nastynateyj:
I'm trying to flash back to my old ROM after a successful install of Bionix 1.5. I go into ROM Manager and restore but when it goes to boot back up I get stuck on the Vibrant boot screen. I can however reinstall the Bionix no problem.

I've tried it twice now. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
are you using the 1.5 with the voodoo? if so you need to disable voodoo before you can flash another rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
HOLY CRAP!!! I'm such a freaking IDIOT. the reason it would not detect my sd card for the update.zip was how it was named. I named it update.zip so when it read it, it would be read update.zip.zip . I changed it back to Update without the .zip and it worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
lol, well at least youre on the right track ;) not as easy to detect extensions in modern systems
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Someone asked in this thread to have the Power Control widget skinned with black goodness. If you can tell me which apk contains the images, I'd be happy to skin that widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] gab1972:
Titanium doesn't seem to be playing nicely with this ROM. Each time I tried restoring an apps through Titanium, I would get FC's. I finally ended up just physically downloading each app from the market.

On a plus note: Bionix 1.4 OC/UV Kernel is screaming fast! The first thing I noticed was how fast the market is! Wow! Live the look of the swype keyboard. Excellent work. 1.5 was just a bit too unstable for me.

Thanks Simbionix!
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
try doing a fix permission with rom manager prior to using titanium
[Vibrant Android Development] corruption42:
I had constant FC's with 1.5, after several re-flashes (and attempting file permissions corrections)... the Samsung keyboard specifically was unusable, crashed upon install -- and I personally can't stand swype :) Few other things were crashing too, but I didn't get too far into em -- the Samsung keyboard being broken was a dealbreaker for me :)

Like gab1972 said though -- 1.4 is blazing fast and still rockin' for me, so I can wait til its all straight :D
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
i dont like the way you have to swipe real far to unlockthe screen too
[Vibrant Android Development] Jaynrb:
I have been using 1.5 and it seems pretty decent for me. I liked the battery meter on 1.4 and a few other things BUT for some reason this ROM with the JI6 modem update seems to be the best thing that ever happened to my phone. The GPS FINALLY DECIDED to work as well. With EVERY other update and EVERY OTHER GPS FIX, my GPS still wouldnt work how it should. Now its working and locks pretty quick, and I get service where before i had NONE. When i first flashed i had once instance where i was calling people and i could hear the ringtone but they wouldnt answer and it would go to their VM. They said their phone never rang BUT it did show a few missed calls from me. I had to run a few reboots and it seemed to clear this problem. For that passed day and a half i have no problems with the update.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I was on Eugenes Frankin-Twiz ROM before flashing Bionix. There were a lot of things I just didn't like about Eugenes ROM. It was personal preference in the form of apps he included and such. It is a great ROM if you like those things, however, I decided to try out Bionix, so I made a Nandroid of my current setup and flashed it up.

That being said, I think it took me about an hour of messing with Bionix's ROM before I deleted my Nandroid of the Frankin-Twiz. It's like Som climbed in my head and made a ROM almost exactly how I would if I was half as smart as him and could actually code one. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
I'm actually making an all black power widget today, by request also... If you would like to wait... I also have a dark market, launcher, dialer and contacts too, they sewer in the themes section..
[Vibrant Android Development] YatimaMeiji:
wow this thread moves fast. Anyways for anyone who has issues, I can say yes reflashing helps, but I think it also helps to start from the beginning(Dont forget to turn voodoo off). I flashed back to pre-JFD, then to JFD, then to JI6, then I put Bionix 1.5+Jac xmod voodoo on top. Now rotation works and as far as I can tell, so does everything else(I dont use bluetooth so cant say on that one).

So moral of the story, go back to stock then flash your way back to the top then drop you apps back in.
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
When using titanium backup remember to only restore apps and certain system settings. Restoring the others can bork things up.

[Vibrant Android Development] YatimaMeiji:
Thats right, I forgot to mention that I only restored apps and left out system data. Though I have this one app, JuiceDefender, which is awesome btw. I find that is one app to not restore with data since it seems to be very dependent on the current system configuration, so if you find its not working, just run its setup again.

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Thank you so much for working on the more 'black' look, that's going to be awesome.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
You need to press down completely on the volume rocker button where both +/- volume key have equal pressure and while pressing down on the power button too. When the Vibrant image come up, release the power button and then it should boot into recovery. Next, toggle down to "reinstall packages" (use volume rocker) then press the power button to select; it will boot in to "nandroid" recovery. I think you should know what to do next from here.

If that fails, you may need to use Odin.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
After you do some speed tweaks you think you can do some moderating of the vibrant forums? Maybe combine a few threads, move a few, delete a couple.. Warn people about flaming and posting in the wrong section?
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
+1

I may have just got tired of seeing it on my other androids. The TW lockscreen is a breath of fresh air. Looks sleek, has fonts, and the puzzle piece thing is kind of cool because in some way it makes up for the phone not having flashing LED notifications.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yeah, I totally agree. I think the new lock screen is very crisp, clean, and sleek. My OCD forces me to like it better. In my opinion, its just as easy, if not easier to unlock the TW lock screen as the stock one. I think I kind of got sick of the old lock screen, too. lol...its hard making roms because its hard to please everyone. Doing my best, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
The rom is blazing fast, looks nice, and it's working trouble free. You're doing great.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Thanks for the tip. Even though it didn't work for me. I was using adb and tried the commands:

adb shell

# recovery --update package=/sdcard/update.zip

The phone actually went into Android system recovery

It would try to install from package....but would give me an error message:

"E:Can't mount package=/sdcard/update.zip

Installation aborted.

E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log"

I tried using Odin already with no luck.

Ok so I figured I can get into Recover Mode using ADB command :"adb reboot recovery" and was able to get into nandroid. But when I restored it still did the same damn thing and it stays in the Vibrant Samsung screen. I also tried to "install zip from sdcard" and chose bionix1_2_OC.zip and also the update.zip files I had and it still wouldn't get out of the Vibrant Samsung Screen. :(
