Drove in my car with GPS on for 20 min and my battery dropped 25%....

Charged it fully when I got home at 6 by 1 in the morning I only had 20 percent battery left.... with light use
[Vibrant Android Development] pelmenept:
Interesting my in call sound is very low, although set to max.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Just so everyone knows, we've been running tests and so far have fixed the following:

- Possible battery drain issues caused by JI6 modem - replaced with JI2 modem

- Call connect tone and call disconnect tone FCing phone

- GPS seems to be locking great now

We're still working on the mms issue, and just so everyone is clear, text messages send and receive, pictures messages do not.
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
Thanks for this tip. I also couldn't find the option for G2 only to save battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] jokerz99:
Thank you also can you add volume level on phone call with handset and speakerphone enabled both are lower volumes then in 1.4 rom i have flashed and re produced this issue 3x now.

I have also tried the trick to lower the call volume then increase it while on the call still does not clear up the issue
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Cool, thanks. I was just about to let you know that I had been doing some testing of my own and found the JI2 modem seemed to be the best solution for me as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, I'm looking into it, however, I think I may have fixed that as well. I'll test it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Dude, as much as I love your work, I'm a little concerned about burnout. You doing ok over there? You're an awesome dev, would hate to see you get burned out.

I'm just concerned, that's all.. if there's no cause for concern feel free to tell me to shut up :)

GPS Fix

I am using 1.6 Stock. I have applied the GPS Fix and have rebooted multiple times.

In Google Maps and GPS Test it seems to be getting a fix on my position but when I use programs like My Tracks and CardioTrainer to map my path, I can see on the map that it is accurate but the programs do not think it is accurate enough to leave a track. Is anybody else having this sort of issue?

I have not seen any other issues with 1.6
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I agree. But, they'd probably have a mountain of paperwork and agreements that would kill all of the awesomeness.. you know how corporations are. We're very fortunate to have this dev.
[Vibrant Android Development] PepeLasNoches:
Weird, I have no battery issues. Pgones been on for hours and sitting at 91%. Either way im having fun with all this.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'll just leave this here for those of you who have become addicted:

1. We admitted we were powerless over Bionix—that our lives had finally become manageable.

2. Came to believe that a developer could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our phones over to the care of sombionix as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our apps.

5. Admitted to sombionix, to ourselves, and to another Vibrant user the exact nature of our happiness.

6. Were entirely ready to have sombionix remove all the defects of Samsung idiocy.

7. Humbly asked Him to restore our battery life.

8. Made a list of all Samsung Vibrant users, and became willing to inform them of Bionix ROMs.

9. Informed such people wherever possible.

10. Continued to contribute to the Bionix community.

11. Sought xda forums to improve our ROMs, praying only for updates and the power to flash without odin.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these ROMs, we tried to carry this message to Vibrant users, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
[Vibrant Android Development] dublued:
This is my first time installing a custom rom on this phone.

I went with the 1.6 stock. I haven't applied a lagfix.

I applied the GPS-MMS-Video.zip that I found in one of the posts in this thread.

I'm sitting indoors in my cube with 8 sats out of 11 locked.

I do miss being able to adjust the brightness by gliding my finger along the notification bar.

Also, I hope you will be able to integrate the swype speech input soon. I read earlier in the thread that there were some problems with it.

Time to find that paypal link!

APNDroid not working on bionix 1.6?

I flashed bionix 1.6 over vibrant9 from eugene. I used APNDroid on Vibrant9 and when I turned it on, I wouldn't get the 3G symbol on the notification bar so it was working fine. I flashed bionix 1.6 and when I turn APNDroid on, the 3G symbol stays there and it doesn't seem to turn off the data. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, how can I fix it? Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks.

Also, there used to be a setting to use 2G data only, but now there is an option for GSM/WCDMA, GSM only or some other option. Is GSM only the same as 2G only? Did they just change the names?

JI6 (leaked at least) is a battery sucker. I show most of my battery in use on voice calls and have only used the phone for 30 minutes. At 38 percent now with full charge 8 hours ago.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
MMS icon fixed for the MMS Fix, not sure which APK were going with yet or how its going to be placed in.

Nice! Flashed this last night along with the GPS/MMS/Video fix. Couldn't have been easier. You guys make this too damn easy! LOL! Keep up the fantastic dev work!
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
racist mms icon is racist!

lmfao, im kidding but i was like WTF it looks like an actor from wayyyyy back in the day in blackface.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Just tried MobileAP since 1.6 and the probram is running just fine. The issue I am having is no network is being broadcast at all. After I realized it wasn't working, I tried barnacle again and that is not working either.

Is anyone else having a problem with MobileAP/tethering?

[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
The icon is transparent. What you're seeing is a white smiley against the black background of the apps drawer.
[Vibrant Android Development] oDeACoNo:
Question if anyone knows. I applied the Bionix 1.6 update. I received the notification stating the official T-Mo update is ready to be applied on my system as well. Anyway to remove the notification / official update on my vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaphod_fl:
@Sombionix... did you see this: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8524841#post8524841

Might be the OTA of JI6
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
I reskinned the mms.apk already to match if thats what we end up doing, there may be a fix for the mms sending bug still.

So yeah, the icon would be the normal icon
[Vibrant Android Development] bagayas:
It's running fine on my setup. In fact I connected with my MBP and am using it to send this out.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Boo for me. Was trying to connect to my MBP as well. Guess a few restarts and cache cleaning for me then.

As for the MMS skinning, I don't mind the stock android app, just will miss the puzzle lock integration. Side note...Viral (it is yours right?), using your modded android keyboard and love it.

[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
Okay... so awesome rom, minus the battery. I disabled lagfix, and tried to go back to 1.4. Now I'm getting a boot which ends in softbrick (after hanging on the S Galaxy S) screen for a few mins, then I have the lighted buttons on...

So yeah. Just a warning, I don't think downgrading is that easy from this rom. :P

Anyone wanna give me a hand fixing it? Is it time to break out the dreaded ODIN?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Yea all these roms lately are battery killers... I watch the meter drop....
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
We can't downgrade to 1.4? I was just thinking of doing that because of the battery drain.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
Haha... You gave me the idea, saw that post this morning. Any idea if where I can steal a ODIN copy for mac? My phone isn't even mounting atm... going to attempt to use my friend's windows netbook next.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Sombionix said that battery fix is to use the JI2 modem, which I can confirm. I am sure he will have an easy way to change modem.bin's if you aren't comfortable flashing it through Odin. Since I flashed it, my battery is back to being great.
[Vibrant Android Development] jgiard6:
Anyone made a metamorph so we can read third party notifications in 1.6? The all black theme makes certain app notifications unreadable. Is there a flashable stock revert?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Got a link to that modem bin cause battery is horrid?i also read it breaks gps is this true? Thanks

Also do I just load the pit and bin? Or do I got to do something else?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Ah, ok, will wait for the next release.

Viralblack said he is going to work on metamorphs once all of the bugs are fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I've downgraded to 1. 4 with no problems, as long as the lagfix is disabled. As far as the modem, just use odin, use the regular pit file and put the ji2 modem under phone
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Yes, and ty :D

and now a skinned MMS to match.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
I read that it breaks the GPS too, but I did not see that at all. In fact I got a more accurate lock with JI2. Here is JI2. It has to be flashed in Odin and if you don't know how to do it, then wait.

Somebody else posted an flashable zip a few pages back, but I haven't tried it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Theres a flashable zip somewhere in the thread that was made for the JI2 modem, search! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
I just remembered that my swype no longer works :( I can long click on a text feild and select it from input methods and it takes forever to come up, then whenever I try to type something it just straight up doesn't work
[Vibrant Android Development] ElGuapo361:
I for one would like to report my phone is running great on 1.6 with UV/OC, no Voodoo. Flashed the MMS/GPS fix. After a minute or two, GPS locked in to 7 meters and didn't skip a beat all the way into work.

SetCPU at 1200/200, no profiles. Linpack of 9.87 Quadrant of 965. Very smooth.

Pulled it off the charger this morning about 7:30am, and I'm at 71% at 3:10pm, under normal everyday use.

Very pleased with this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I know how to use odin just only flashed roms... Odin is no puzzle. So just load pit, and the bin in the phone area right?

ill I need is a quick tutorial not a odin lesson...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
I'm at 7.5 hours since pulling it off the charger. Down to 20%. Moderate to heavy use. This is moderately worse than I have noticed in the past, however, I have spent about 30-40 minutes talking today. (This is high for me). But I am usually at around 40-50% at about this time of day. Meh, as long as I have enough power to last me until I get home, I don't really care all that much.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Yeah, I saw that too but they said it didn't change the baseband version string so I was a little weary, but hey, they said it works.:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Load the 512 pit, load the modem bin into phone. Flash away. (Only thing I am slightly unsure about is that modem goes into the phone slot, but am about 95% sure).
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
i just flashed the bin in phone and loaded tar. Seems fine. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Yes, the modem.bin goes into the Phone slot
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
thanks. Yea the bin worked in the phone spot. Worked great thanks.

by the way, how do so many people have issues with ODIN. Its easy to use and has never failed me yet in about 20 flashes.
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
not to be a douche and just echo others but this ROM is immaculate minus the battery drain issue. It isn't devastating enough for me to go through more flashing and potentially **** the phone up but I look forward to a simple fix or the next Bionix.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
Odin 1. 3 has never failed me, the older version was 50/50
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
No problem. It has failed me a couple of times, but I can easily get back into Download mode and repeat, then all is well. Odin 1.3 is definitely better than 1.0
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenr3792:
I tried to downgrade for the sake of battery, and I believe I've softbricked.

I did disable lagfix prior to wiping and flashing. Even checked in terminal.

I managed to boot once. Downloaded Titanium and restored my apps/data, then removed the "remove-lagfix"s and rebooted. Got the linda voice, then "execute", boot logo, and... nothing. Black screen, touch buttons lit up. Sounds like the softbrick I've read of.

So yeah. What do I do to restore my phone to working condition? I have no nandroids, but I've no issue with unrooting/restoring to initial system conditions/etc.

I'm on Snow Leopard, Macbook Pro 2010. I'll dual boot a Windows if I need to.

Thanks a ton for help everyone!

Whoa whoa whoa. You can downgrade just fine. TRUST ME, I've had to do it a thousand times testing things out. I've been jumping between 1.6 and 1.4 all day with zero issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Because one of three things usually happen imo:

1 - They didn't bother to read up and actually figure out how to use Odin.

2 - They failed to disable Voodoo. (This isn't technically a problem with Odin, but everyone blames Odin anyways.)

3 - They rushed it and forgot a step in the process.
[Vibrant Android Development] biigreen:
Just signed up.
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
Yeah I have had no problem downgrading either. I am currently on 1.4 (downgraded from 1.6 twice) waiting for the 1.6 patch they are working on.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Accurate my ass.

When it hit zero I turned the screen on full brightness, turned on the gps and left gpstest running with the screen on.

Laster 20 minutes before shutting down.

:):):):)
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Maybe that last 1/2% was a doozy.
[Vibrant Android Development] speed145a:
It can only be as accurate as what is being reported to the OS. The mod simply adds the number and a proportional fill based on what the battery stat is saying.
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
I think you guys are being a little harsh on people asking questions. Sure it might be a little bit frustrating seeing people ask the same questions over and over and over but not everyone can afford to keep up with this thread. In all fairness to them the info is relatively scattered throughout FIVE THOUSAND REPLIES. That makes it very, very hard to read from beginning to end.

I have no problem myself as thankfully I've been able to keep the thread open for days now, but I sympathize with those who don't have that kind of time. Just sayin...
[Vibrant Android Development] speed145a:
In all fairness... this thread is a MONSTER. currently at ~530 pages. If you read one page every 20 seconds it would take you over an hour to finish... ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Lock Screen

Hey Bionix, was wondering what I need to replace in order to get the original settings back into place?

I don't use any type of lockscreen (I disabled my lockscreen) and I know the 4 lock screens make the settings lag a little. So what files would I need to replace if I wanted the stock settings w/o the lock screen options.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
The reason why it's 530 pages is because people ask the same questions over and over. There's a search button for a reason. If people just sit down and look a few pages back or research a little, then maybe we wouldn't have 530 pages.

That's why there are some dev's that stop using XDA because of people's lack of research. Asking a dev something over and over can be very frustrating.

Anyways, after flashing 'FroYo that doesn't brick', I had a hard time getting into download, phone would start at recovery, but the power button was unresponsive. Kept pulling the battery and getting the same thing. What eventually worked for me was pulling the battery and leaving it out for 30 seconds or so and then try to manually get into download. When I did this, the Vibrant screen would flash for a second and then GT-i9000 would flash, and Odin would report it was connected, at which point I could do an 'adb reboot download' and got it working again.

is there a thread to show you how to get into download mode via adb? i cant get in there by holding volume up down, power and then letting go power only when screen goes black.

[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
so is it safe to say that with JI6 we came from horrible GPS (sort of fixed) to not so good battery life ?

Yesterday almost jumped back to Nexus, but then realized that my gf cant use Vibrant with $10 data (Nexus can use that plan). I immediately noticed how horrible AMOLED in Nexus is vs SAMOLED, but I really starting to think about trading my V. Because except for the screen (well and the speaker) everything about Android experience is better with Nexus, and its $20 bucks cheaper to own per month vs V (thats $240 a year :eek: )

Init.d, Voodoo, and Bionix

This may be anecdotal; however, it worked for me. I was having problems both a) disabling Voodoo and b) re-enabling Voodoo during multiple flashing between Frankinwiz and Bionix. I also ended up with the black screen after the Galaxy S - as stated a boot loop that is visible with logcat. I did not need to use the Froyo that never bricks method to restore the phone. I never forgot to disble the lagfix - my phone would just not boot so your milage may vary with this one.

To fix the problem:

I wiped the phone in Clockwork, installed the disable_voodo.zip, installed the Rom and booted.

After I got everything up and running, I used TB to reinstall all of my programs.

I then rebooted and wiped Dalvik-cache and cache.

Rebooted again and ran fix permissions.

Reboot to recovery and ran the init.d.zip from the Voodoo site.

Booted and removed the disable_lagfix.

Finally rebooted and let the lagfix run it's course.

Prior to using this method I was never able to get through an install without problems. Hopefully, this could help some of the other people that experience the black screen boot from have to flash the Froyo that never bricks.

I was thinking a few hundred pages ago it might be a good idea in the future to have a separate bug/glitch thread when a new release comes out. That way the main build thread could just have updates and progress and the other could be the 1,000 people talking about their GPS receivers not working right.
