I failed to see logic in flashing Voodoo lag fix that mounts /data on an EXT4 formatted loop device just to get OCLF that mounts /data on an EXT2 formatted loop device :rolleyes: Why bother flashing Voodoo ROM? It's not like you gonna get EXT6 at the end LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
^this. They both do the same thing, Voodoo just does it more efficiently and safer. EXT2 (OCLF) has been shown to cause file instability and can eventually cause data corruption and/or loss. It is also not a real fix, it simply creates the illusion of a fix. Voodoo actually re-formats your data into an EXT4 file system which is much more stable and faster in reality.

TBH, I'm surprised that OCLF even works after installing Voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] yg420:
Not trying to sound like a @ick, I appreciate your warning, and I do realize oclf will get the same results on a stock kernel, but Im just saying I havent had any problems from running oclf over voodoo. If anything things are running more smoothly! But I will not start any arguements because Im certain you guys have more experience than me and this issue has been pounded to death already in another thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] fudo jay:
true that. If i only know anything about developing i wud of try, im an artist for god sake. but i like to get my nose into stuff. hah.

well let me know how it goes. I might try it
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Im on the Jacs OC/UV kernal. No voodoo and im not overclocked yet.

His roms are fast enough without a lag fix. IMO on his rom it only increases Quadrant score. His roms are faster than voodoo....
[Vibrant Android Development] yg420:
Ive had a few different versions of setcpu as well as different settings (200-1200, 200-1000) but no matter what I would get problems loading some games, widgets, etc. After playing around with installing, uninstalling different apps, the problem always pointed to setcpu. Idk I guess Im cursed when it comes to setcpu?
[Vibrant Android Development] importbeats:
I looked in the voodoo folder and there's no such thing "Disable-lagfix".

I checked and I DO have the larger NAND.

Now, after reading a little more into this, I'm kinda lost. Where is Voodoo 5?

This link says that beta 5 was gonna be release sometime tonight (posted 10/10) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805222

It's been 4 days. So is beta 5 supposed to fix the problem with having a larger NAND? I pretty much done lots of flashing today and all my data is gone, and the Striked-out instructions on that link say data will be wiped. I'm assuming those instructions are still good, so I guess I'm at no loss to do that method? Or should I wait for Voodoo beta 5, which was supposedly to be released "later that night 4 days ago"?

Other than that, I hope someone will find a fix for the FC problems in Settings before I go out and buy an iPhone in frustration. (Not likely, LOL)
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
That thread was created on 10/10 but edited like yesterday. Beta 5 should be here tonight

[Vibrant Android Development] Shaul305:
my 1st time ever flashing my phone with a ROM, did the 1.9 with KK and this **** ROCKS! thanks Team Whiskey!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Whelp, my wife's Vibrant is getting the notification for the OTA update. I'm hoping to just flash her phone with Bionix Fusion. Assuming she likes the design that is. With my luck I would tell it to update and have it brick it, than I would have to restore it, and I'm lazy. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Shaul305:
ditto on the brightness setting FC
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
I know this may be the experience of some, but not everyone. My phone has been rock solid with the OCUV kernel *without* SetCPU. If I install SetCPU, even to change the 100/1000 to 200/1000 I start getting freezes. Not going there with a 10 foot pole.

Simple, if you're getting lockups, try something different. If you're not - keep doing what you're doing.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Re flash won't work... It needs to be fixed from bionix ....

K everything you said worked to perfection and it took me to the DL screen...problem came when I flashed the stock rom it went back to the tmo screen it looked like it was gonna start then once the samsung logo came on it got stuck in that black screen again now ADB cant find the device and neither can Odin...
[Vibrant Android Development] InvisibleHero:
Same here... I have run Bionix 1.4 and am now on Bionix 1.8 and have not needed to use SetCPU. I have not experience any problems.

Hi,

talking about 1.8 or any, anyone experiencing a choppy settings menu?

Did you flash Eugene's "Froyo ROM that won't brick" before trying to flash stock?

And did you make sure you click the 'Re-Partition' box when trying to flash the stock?

1.9 is screeeeamin fast without voodoo, I havnt tried voodoo yet, nor care to since this baby is going so fast, thnx bionix
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Thanks for the update. Just curious about something... How do you juice the hell out of it? I mean, where are the speed enhancements coming from beside removing elements that might sap a tiny bit of background resources? Are they framework edits? Less frequent background system maintenance? Where do you remove the slack from the system without reducing functionality?

Thanks for any hints....

Thanks bro. Used ODIN for the first time to go back to stock. You guys saved my butter :-)

That was scary :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
So I flashed this and everything flashed correctly but now when I boot it, it stays on the Vibrant screen. I hear the voice saying "Bionix initiating blah blah" but no boot image and no start up. This has never happened. I flashed 1.9 Stock Kernel. No I have never used the voodoo or any lag fix for that matter. Now I cant seem to get into recovery either, i remember it being difficult but I used to before but haven't had to use the button combo in awhile. Usually just rebooted into recovery from ROM manager to flash a ROM. These J16 ROMS don't lock us out of recovery do they? I should be able to get into recovery using the volume buttons right? That ability wouldn't just go away? Please any advice would be helpful and please no ODIN suggestions, I have a MAC and just don't have the stuff I need to use it. Any help would be appreciated because now i'm debating calling T-Mobile. (Thanks for the annoying boot sound that plays, that wont make it obvious I modded my phone or anything haha) I'm gonna keep pounding my fingers on the volume keys in the mean time. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
I just used the power widget to control brightness works perfect
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
BTW, will Bionix Fusion have a better bluetooth stack? Pretty please?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Hate to break it to you, but your phone is basically soft bricked. 95% of the time, ODIN is necessary to get you back up and running. (There are ways to use ODIN on a mac, don't ask me what they are, I despise Macs, but I'm sure SEARCH works), if not, hope you have friends with a PC. That being said, follow the procedures found all over the place to try and get back into recovery and attempt a re-flash, but don't hold your breath.
[Vibrant Android Development] argie:
Yes, I can get to download mode. That's how I flashed the disable_voodoo.zip stuff, and then flashed Bionix 1.8 again (several times), but the phone only reboots into recovery...

George
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
Sent a PM to you, thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] aperezny:
ODIN saved my butter.

I had same exact problem. I know you said no ODIN suggestions but that's what ultimately brought my phone back. So this is just to let you know that you are not alone on this one, mine also got stock at the Vibrant screen and Clockworkmod restore or reflashing did not do any good, only ODIN did.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] g1g:
Can anyone tell me which version of 1.9 is the better im currently running the stock kerenal version and love it but i want to try the oc version or voodoo but not sure which??
[Vibrant Android Development] bigragu:
I'll be honest with you. I have been running 1.8 for a couple of days and also installed the OCLF from the market and I don't know how this thing could be any smoother or faster. I will try 1.9, but if there is a difference in speed and I can detect it, I will be amazed. Nice work on this.
[Vibrant Android Development] castro_OO:
I have always tried voodoo its really fast...but from what i read a few pages back people are saying this 1.9 is just as fast no need for voodoo...might just kk this time. I hear battery life is great on that.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonjacobmoon:
Awesome ROM, curious about something

First off, thanks so much for the ROM....

Just one question:

I installed the bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel. Voodoo does not seem to be installed, and I don't have the disable voodoo file, but I don't think I need it because this thing is just that fast. I am assuming it won't hurt anything to have it but not have it installed.

Question #1:

Will a non-Voodoo kernel be as fast?

Question #2:

However, my wife has RyanZAs lagfix that I installed before he came up with the one click version. Do I have to uninstall that on her phone before installing bionix?

Question #3:

What exactly does the Jacs, OC, and UV mean?

Bonus question.... what is a typical donation for the ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhymestars:
Hey guys

This is funny. I went from rom junkie in three weeks. I have been flashing every rom that has been posted all week and would now report that i can set my entire phone back up from signing into google, to setting the last wallpaper 9on my lunch break at work. JUST GIVE ME FROYO
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
First time flashing my Vibrant and I chose the Bionix 1.8 w/Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo kernel version OC @ 1.2 GHz and this thing is crazy fast lol. Thanks Bionix and Team Whiskey.
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
Which odin process do i use the one from the op or the one from the vibrant bible i flashed 1.9 stock and got stuck on vibrant samsung screen
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
No, it won't hurt to have a voodoo kernel without voodoo enabled. Just have to be 100% it is not enabled before flashing anything else. TBH though, if you aren't going to use it, may as well flash a different kernel.

IMO, the Jac's and KK kernels are just as fast as a Voodoo kernel. That is based on my use of the phone, YMMV

No, you can flash right over it. RyanZAs lagfix is still an EXT2 fix, so flashing a new rom over it will simply over write it. However, it doesn't hurt to disable it if it is easy to do so just to remove the very small possibility that it could cause an issue.

Jacs is the DEV who codes the Kernel, it is an acronym, forgive me for not remembering the full user name. OC stands for OverClocked and UV stands for Under Volt meaning the kernel is Overclocked up to 1200mhz and Under volted for better battery life. (NOTE: Setcpu is required to be installed to take advantage of the overclocking capabilities of these kernels.)

Whatever you desire to give. Any amount is appreciated. You have to remember that these DEV's code these ROM's in their spare time, after working a full time job, and keeping up with RL obligations, and than they release them to the public with nary a word for compensation, so whatever little amount you can give will be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
Thanks. Actually I got into clockwork and just reflashed 1.8 that was still on my sd card. Worked fine and i was good to go. NO ODIN REQUIRED. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
I just installed 1.8 yesterday for the first time! Loving it so far! But i see 1.9 just came out, if i use clockwork to install this will i loose all the files and stuff i have now? How would i go about updating to 1.9 without data loss? Thanks

[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
So i just install those 2 apps, and use them to backup? Then i assume i can restore everything through those apps if i download them again right?
[Vibrant Android Development] mightykc:
Apparently the issue with 1.9 getting stuck after Vibrant boot screen is only with stock kernel. I tried 1.9 with KK kernel and it is working fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] verve50:
This is happening to me also I also get a force close when trying to go into brightness. Im using KK kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonjacobmoon:
Thanks for the quick reply. Explains alot.

I don't have setcpu installed. Do you mean this could be even faster? Wow!
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Though I would give Bionix another try after this new build.Installing from stock rom, didn't boot, froze at tmobile, and not even a nandroid restore could get it back to life.... Little bumbed out. Not sure if it was me or the build, but I did have success with other Binoix build flashes.
[Vibrant Android Development] jokerz99:
yep mine is stuck on the vibrant screen and i been just flashing bionix stock roms since 1.2

:(

i dunno wtf to do now
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
sweet!

no more Butter

Thank You Sombionix!!!!

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Yup, it can. Do a search on XDA for Setcpu, it is free for XDA members, however, it is only a few dollars on the market and does help support the DEV.

Disclaimer: Not all Vibrants can handle the overclocking. If you install SetCPU and are noticing stability issues, try reducing your clock speed to 1000 mhz. max. (Some users are reporting stability issues with having SetCPU installed period, YMMV)

NOTE: Recommended SetCPU settings from Bionix: 200mhz MIN; 1200mhz MAX; Set on Boot: UNCHECKED; No Profiles. (This means every time you reboot your phone, you will need to go back into SetCPU and set the clock speeds again).
[Vibrant Android Development] spacemonkey333:
Just checked. I also get a force close when trying to adjust brightness under: settings/sound and display/brightness

The brightness can be adjusting without FC using the Power Control widget

Likewise, the volume can be adjust without FC using the hardware volume buttons
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:

@sombionix

I would love to buy you a whiskey for all of your hard work on these kicka$$ roms, but you would have to promise that you will try some good stuff. I would hate to see my money go to a shot of Jameson...

How about a shot of Knob Creek. I could justify spending money on that...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
2 things:

1: The FC with brightness adjust is a known issue.

2: Not a single person has posted a logcat of the FC. People need to get into the habit of posting a Logcat of problems they have. The DEV's CANNOT fix a problem if they don't know what is causing it. Luckily most widespread problems can be duplicated on the DEV's phone so they can create a logcat and/or run a debug to find the source of the problem. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE learn to post a logcat with a bug, otherwise you may as well be saying:

"I found a bug, fix it."

You use the search method.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
"Fix 1:" in the op under "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out."

However, if you can get back into recovery, you may have success with flashing 1.8 again. Assuming you have it on your sdcard still. (If you don't you may be able to push it there via ADB)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
You got any insight concerning the soft brick people are experiencing when flashing the Stock Kernel 1.9?

Search & Read!!

This has been answered/posted before!!

So I know forums are there to get answers to questions, but can everyone, and I mean everyone, stop answering questions that you know have been answered before! Especially if it is within the same thread! Let these people actually learn to search and read. Not only will it help keep the thread stay cleaner, but it will actually also help the person wanting to know how to fix something learn something beneficial.

Don't want to sound like a butthole, but come on people. I've been following this thread for maybe 3 days now and its just getting ridiculous!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Not sure, only the DEV could tell you for sure. It's usually better to attach a txt file of the logcat, but I'm quite sure the DEV's won't complain either way. That being said, Bionix has already pulled the links to fix the problem, so he knows what is wrong and is working on a fix as we speak. Sit tight, and he'll have it back up in no time.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
No worries sombo...with the amount of effort you put into these ROM's, you're entitled to a few oversights. Anyone who can't deal with that can go elsewhere.

Your work is genuinely appreciated. :)

Quadrant for the Bionix1_3voodoob4?

I run quadrant with the latest bionix with voodoo lagfix but I am getting low scores, ~900. Is that right? Shouldn't it be in the 2300 range?
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Thank you, just flashed the green one. Looks nice!
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
For me 1.3 with voodoo gives between 1600-1700. Did u check with mount command if it shows ext02 or ext04 file system? Dont worry too much about quadrant score though.
[Vibrant Android Development] SykesAT:
I agree, the rom is snappy. Speed, lag and batt usage are all great with 1.3KK. I was just a bit surprised at what I think is a quick real word rom and the benchmark test results.

Titanium Restore

When I do a restore of the backed up apps and data it is not putting the market link. when I do market doctor in titanium it says that it finds them and it adds them but they are not there. It looks if I search for the app it shows installed just does not show in the downloads. Is anybody else seeing this? I will also get app update available but I do not know which one as they are not in the download and I have to go hunting to find out which app is updated.

Edit, Not all programs that I install are showing up in the download as well? I just installed My Tracks and it shows installed but does not show up in the downloads of the Market.
