Thanks bud. I actually just flashed the stock kernel through recovery over my setup, everything works splendidly. I'm very satisfied. Cheers.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Uh, yeah, +1 on this. Was surprised to see the T-Mobile tab instead of downloads, not that it's a real big deal ...

Does anyone's GPS actually work with this or any other Rom?And by working I mean 20feet or less everytime and the arrow not skipping around all over the place while driving?Also sometimes it stalls on finding any GPS signal.This GPS on this phone has been unreliable since ive owned it =\
[Vibrant Android Development] Bossbollin:
Thanks Sombionix and to all who contributed to this ROM. Without it, I'd still have a boring ECLAIR with no updates.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
Sombionix, you think that when froyo comes out for the vibrant, with JIT and all the 2.2 goodness, Bionix will be even faster and better?.

And thanks for an awesome ROM been flashing since 1.4. and i love it.
[Vibrant Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Thank you so much Bionix and Viral for 1.9.1. I cant live with just the boring glass lockscreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] acrNacd2:
I guess I am one of thise Vibrant owners whose device can not run Vodoo!!!! That sucks , I checked and there are no files named "'disable-lagfix'" in the Voodoo folder yet when I checked using the terminal emulator I saw that it said "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" which means it is disabled and I did not disable it so it must not work on my device. I guess it would be better to flash a non-Voodoo ROM like OP says. I am new to this flashing thing and am wondering how much faster the other ROMs will be than this Voodoo with the kernel not working. I like the ROM and am thankful for OP's hard work but just asking for a little directions from another user flashing the other non- Voodoo ROMs. Sorry for the nob question
[Vibrant Android Development] xplod420:
what is the adb commnad to put the phone in to dl mode? Or is there another way of doing that? Thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
adb reboot download
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
How can I apply theme to this rom. I been trying to put notification bar from vanilla. All failed and had to do restore. Anyidea?
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
Read the first post there is a fix for that
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I did a search in this MONSTER thread and i can't find it...

I flashed 1.9 and 1.91 (one earlier today and the other this evening) with both flashes, I can't seem to get my nandroid backup to work. It goes through the restore but when I reboot out of clockwork, it just hangs at the "Vibrant" screen and never boots. I can however boot back into clockwork, reflash Bionix, and it works just fine. I'm just concerned now that if something goes wrong, I will not be able to recover from a nandroid backup.

Also, completely unrelated, (and I know I'll catch crap for this) is there any way to put the twiz dock background back in? Or maybe a custom dock background? I actually liked it :)
[Vibrant Android Development] FlipnKraut:
I'm still having issues with 1.8 and the gps. I'm going to wait to update fit a week because frankly I'm tired of flashing and restoring apps.

But, on the upside, I've been using this phone for 15 hours 48 minutes on battery at the time off this post and I'm at 54% with moderate usage. And I have never "reconditioned" the battery. By this time normally I would be around 15%.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Phones been running so good that I actually did a reboot just to make sure it wasn't a fluke!;) Thanks guys! Awesome job!
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
Um make another back up?
[Vibrant Android Development] biigreen:
I was sticking with 1.8. Then I saw 1.9.1 had the lock screens back. I instantly flashed the ROM. I never saw any of the issues others were having.

Thanks sombionix for the dedication you show in a "hobby"
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
My backup was of the stock ROM. I'd like to be able to restore to it, not Bionix. It also makes me wonder what is wrong, why can't I flash back to it. Was it something in the ROM that caused it or did my backup get corrupted somehow? So you see, simply "make another backup" isn't enough.

Thanks.

P.S. the 1.9 I flashed was the stock kernel version.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
why is my wifi and 3g on at the same time???? weird.. 3g isnt going away when im using wifi is this a bug or just me?

EDIT: nevermind it went away
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
Hey its been about 15 hours already where's bionix 2.0 lol....i kid kid
[Vibrant Android Development] xplod420:
I have a icon on my phone. its a phone with a ! and computer. What does that mean?
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
just flashed 1.9 and my battery went from 67 to 57 in less then 20 minutes.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
It means it is soft bricked. You will have to get it back into download mode. If you are on a pc, search this thread for "soft brick" especially the post with a link to cyanogen's forum, I believe.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Flashing is hard on the battery. Recalibrate your battery using the instructions found in this thread about a million times, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] Flapjack:
Before anyone tells me to search I HAVE. This thread is almost 1000 pages long. I tried both using the built-in search and searching through Google.

I LOVE the ROM, but cannot stand the startup robot voice. It's 10pm now and it dang near woke up the entire house. Sure, I can put the phone on silent before I reboot, but in the case of a freeze or some other tragedy, I'm going to get the ear blasting robot voice upon reboot.

If someone has asked this (and I'm sure they have... I just can't find it), I really believe this should be in the first post somewhere. Telling someone to search a thread of this size is really kind of lame. This is not a SQL database. Searches are not intuitize... even when done through Google with site:xdaforums.com included.

Also, I have fought and fought with SetCPU. I cannot select anything more than 528mhz on the sliders. It also gives me an error that it cannot read "setcpu custom config".

**EDIT**

Found the fix for SetCPU. Needs to be on "autodetect". This should be in the first post or in the Bionix Installation Guide
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
Mine is now and it has never been before. I am used to watching my arrow go all around the neighborhood without me. I am getting 10M and the arrow is staying put in google maps and on the compass my exact address is the one that shows up.

GREAT ROM, thanks again... now I need to decide if I am going to keep this or switch to tomorrows ROM of the day. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
You might have to copy your backup too a pc, Odin back to stock, root the phone again, get whatever you used to make the backup back on the phone, perform the restore. That might do the trick.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jas750:
Thanks for this. I did my first ROM flash and everything is running smoothly.

Question on restoring my backed up apps. I'm sorry I searched this but its probably simple but I cant find an answer for my situation.

Before flashing, I did a "full" system backup of all my apps and data? with Titanium backup PRO. Everything is there on my SD card and now I have the newest bionix rom installed.

When flashing a ROM, I have to now restore everything? But what is the best choice, is it safe to do a FULL batch restore of everything including system settings from how my phone was previously before I flashed?

Or is it best to pick one by one which apps I need restored and make not to include any "system settings" from my previous phone state? Or should I just hit restore everything?

I must be doing something wrong here if I have to pick individually each and every app i had installed, making sure not to include system data. I see you guys talk about always flashing a new rom all the time. Isn't it very time consuming to try and restore backups of apps individually? Then on top of that redoing every setting on the phone. Thanks, if I'm wrong or if you have any tips please help me out.

I may not have been sufficiently clear in the post. I did not mean to imply that there is anything wrong with Titanium. It is just that Titanium is used on many phone models. It is not practical for the developer to know exactly which system data items to make green for a given model; that would require testing every system data item on every model.

That is essentially what I did for the Vibrant to figure out what was causing the phone to enter a state preventing Market downloads. I found that to be the "Accounts" system data. Not surprising, given that Market is account-based. It probably sets a token in the phone at the time of account registration (note that Market requires re-registration each time that a ROM is flashed) which gets over-written by the "Accounts" system data restore from Titanium.

In any case, all that you need to do is restore the TwLauncher 2.1 system data (after restoring apps, of course) to get all of your icons back in their previously-placed order on the home screens. This requires no re-boot; your properly-populated home screens will appear after 2-5 seconds.

The following green "system data" line items in the Titanium list restore the following data following re-boot after doing the Titanium restores:

[Calendar] Calendar Storage 1.0: Restores your calendar entries.

[Contacts/Call] Contacts Storage 2.1-update1: Restores your contacts.

[SMS/MMS/APN]: Restores your messages.

[Wallpaper/Settings] Settings 1.0: Restores your active wallpaper and some settings in the device [gear] settings menus (not sure which).

[Settings/Bluetooth] Settings Storage 2.1-update1: Restores Bluetooth settings.

Bluetooth Pairings: Restores previously-remembered Bluetooth devices that have paired with phone in the past.

[Bookmarks] Web 2.1-update1: Restores bookmarks in Web Browser.

Etc... As I said at post #8469, you can restore any green system data items from Titanium

except "Accounts."

If you restore "Accounts," you will permanently crash Market, requiring a re-flash of the ROM.

In addition to the green system data items, only one red item can be very useful to restore. That is "TwLauncher 2.1," which will restore your home screens/program icons.

In any case, never choose to restore all system data items.

I avoided this issue for a long time, but finally decided that it would take less time in the long run to figure it out than restoring all of these data and settings

over and over and over.
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
for the love of god, i can't find a single battery conditioning post.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Glad everyone is enjoying 1.9.1. Thanks for all of your support and I'll do my best to keep contributing to the community as much as I can. I appreciate you all. Also, if anyone has pmed me and I haven't responded yet, please do not get upset. I have about 300 pms in my inbox. I'll do my best to get around to them all tomorrow. Goodnight.
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
well ive seen the files on here on how to delete but i can't remember but ill go search see if i can find it. As for Setcpu when you first opened did you hit detect speed because that is the only way i can get mine to OC to 1.2 and i suggest you do the same if you didn't already.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Go out to the main forum for this phone, there is a thread called the bible, read the first 2 posts, there is information to remove those sounds.
[Vibrant Android Development] Flapjack:
Awesome. Thank you. I was referring to the Installation Guide here: https://sites.google.com/site/projectbionix/installation-guide
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Go to the main forum, where you find THIS thread, go into the bible thread. If it's not there, search for "battery stats" in this thread...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Come on now. It only took me like 20 seconds to search this thread with the built in search to find your answer on post #6801. Enjoy!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
That was a freaking awesome clarification of your original post. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain in good detail. I know it will help me a lot in the future as well as a lot of other people. (or maybe just a few since many will not search the form like they should):eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] opiomorph:
So you couldn't get into Clockworkmod due to a missing update.zip in /cache/, and ODINing back to stock and reflashing 1.9 fixed it? Awesome. What do you suppose the odds are that getting someone else's update.zip from their /cache/ directory would fix it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
You can also do what I do which is to just turn down system volume to 0. As far as I can tell the only things it affects are the startup/shutdown sounds and key clicks (maybe system notifications too). None of these are important to me, so I just keep it at zero all the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] xplod420:
i searched followed the instructions, but i can't go to dl mode. and my computer is not picking up the phone at all. its just flashes the phone with ! and a computer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Agreed, this should be a stickied FAQ for people restoring their phones after a ROM flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] Flapjack:
Thanks. Being pointed to the "Bible" helped, too.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
Have you tried pulling the battery, then put it back in. Then while holding both the volume buttons, plug in the usb cable. It should take you right to download mode
[Vibrant Android Development] PePPaZ:
Just flashed 1.9.1 over stock rooted using clockwork and now I can't login to google. It give me an unreliable data connection error but web and maps works. WTF I can't figure it out
[Vibrant Android Development] ShanDestromp:
Most people say not to restore system data since it can bring with it gremlins. That said I personally do a full apps and data backup just before flashing and a full restore as soon as the flash is done and I've yet to ever have a problem. All I can recommend is try and see. If you have problems, reflash and be choosy with your restore. If after that you still have problems then you might have found an actual bug and it should be safe to ask about it.
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
why does my market on 1.9.1 now have the tmobile tab again instead of "downloads"?
[Vibrant Android Development] xplod420:
yes i have :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
This is to Sombionix.

Just curious. I noticed that if I'm on Zeam Launcher and try to connect to Kies it won't go into the right mode (MTP Application) on my phone in order for my PC to detect its in Kies Mode. It only works with TWLauncher.

Just wondering if you make Bionix Fusion; since TWLauncher will be removed will the Kies mode and (MTP Application) work.
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
Nope it wont work without touchwiz.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
What works for me is I pull the battery, the sim card, and the sdcard. Hold down the volume down button, with the power button, and put the battery back in. or, hold the volume down button, put the battery back in and push the power button.... Sometimes I also have to have the usb cable plugged in. but try it while the sim and sdcard are removed...
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Do you have the Samsung Drivers installed in your PC? Do you also have Odin?

Take your battery out of your phone and not connected to your PC yet.

Plug in your USB into the PC. Wait maybe 5-10 seconds and then hold both volume buttons. Don't worry about pushing the power button.

After holding both volume buttons put the battery back in it should go back into download mode. Then just make sure you have Odin setup with the files.
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
is this normal? i didnt have this on 1.8 or any of the pervious ones
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
When I had this, holding both volume buttons never worked, only the volume down got me into download mode...
[Vibrant Android Development] xplod420:
I have tried all variations, nothing worked. I know i have usb drivers installed because i was using the phone a few hrs before to transfer the data. Maybe ist stupid Win7, i dont know. I'll try it tomorro on XP. Thank you guys for support.
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
Try a different usb port...or restating your PC, had the same thing happen.
[Vibrant Android Development] nickdog670:
Man, you are really on top of things! I downloaded Bionix 1.7 as my first ROM on my phone, and the next day 1.8 comes out. I barely had time to test 1.8 out because the next morning, here comes 1.9! Should I wait until tomorrow to see if there is a 2.0? Hahaha, but in all seriousness, these ROMs are great, polished, and fast. Keep the up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
This certainly seems to be a popular topic lately. :)

To batch restore (restore multiple items at the press of one button), you must buy Titanium Pro. ("Must"? This is the bargain of the century for ROM'ers.)

Titanium considers four types of information; and the differences are more than a little confusing:

(1) Apps (applications). You can batch restore apps.

(2) App data. You can batch restore app data.

(3) System apps. These are apps that are compiled with the system image. What is confusing is that many of these apps look and feel just like downloaded apps. However, Titanium cannot restore system apps. Use the "filter" function in Titanium to look at a list of system apps separately from the list of "regular" apps. (Or, the default is no filter, which mixes regular apps and system apps in one list.)

(4) System data. This includes system settings (under the "gear wheel" icon, "wireless and network," "call settings," "sound and display," etc.) and such difficult/time conusming-to-restore data as contacts, previously-sent and received messages and email, home screen icon layout, etc.

Item (4) is the very tricky part. Titanium allows one to batch restore system data. However, doing so will almost certainly break your system in one way or another. Why? Because, depending upon the amount of difference between the old ROM/modem, etc. that you did the Titanium backup on and the new ROM/modem, etc. that you just flashed, some system data storage areas and purposes may have changed. And, some system data is dynamic and gets updated when you flash a new ROM, or subsequently. If you do a Titanium system data restore, you may overwrite with old, outdated data, some such dynamic data whose up-to-date values are critical to the operating system or to some critical system app.

Thus the need to be selective about what system data to restore. So, how do you know which system data items are safe to restore? This varies from system to system, so the Titanium developer (Joel) cannot practically tell you with certainty without testing every ROM/modem combination on every model of Android phone. Joel gave it his best shot by coloring his selections of safe system data to restore in green on the system apps list. And, for the Vibrant running Bionix, at least, he did a damn good job.

I tweaked his "green list" by testing every green system app item. What I found is that (again, for the Vibrant running Bionix),

all green items are good to restore except for "Accounts," which causes the Market to break

to such an extent that reflashing the ROM becomes necessary.

In addition, I found a red item which should be on the green list (again, for the Vibrant running Bionix, not necessarily for any other system). That is "TwLauncher 2.1," whose data must be restored to get home pages/icons back as set up prior to the backup.

Please see my post #9025 for a list of most of the "green" items that are safe to restore.

[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Haven't flashed 1.9 yet, flashed 1.8 last night. Imma keep rocking it till something drastic is released. Bionix roms are the ****. I have been running 100% back light, playing music, texting, moderate web browsing. I have been disconnected from power for 9 hours and have 55% battery left and that is without me reconditioning the battery and running OC @ 1.2 Ghz. Donating to the whiskey fund tomorrow.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
1.8 + JI6 + JAC's OC/UV/Voodoo = So amazingly perfect Im not budging one bit. JI2 modem shouldn't even be called a modem, I couldn't hold a conversation for nothing and making a call was impossible, but JI6 is like I went out and got a new phone, lol. Also, I never seen such impressive battery. First time that heavy usage didn't even come close to shutting my phone down by the end of my work shift. Its been 24 hrs and 42 minutes since my last charge and I finally need to put it on the charger. WOW!

Im not changing a damn thing... LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
wow that's good. so if i want this rom i'll just update it and make and nandroid backup of the stock JI6 rom, and then i can go back to JI6 whenever i want without using a computer?
[Vibrant Android Development] dnguyen1988:
Im loving this rom! Its my first time flashing a custom rom and boy am I glad that I did it. Big ups to sombionix and everyone else who worked on this. You guys made it easy for a noob lol. Thanks again and I cant wait for whatever else u guys are workin on!

Sent from my vibrant running bionix 1.9.1 oc/uv/vodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] PolishDude:
Anyone else having an issue with the market in 1.9.1, it downloads things fine but when i do a titanium restore, the apps i restored dont show as "installed" in the market, they did on 1.8, also i no longer have the download tab but its the t-mobile tab, is that normal? BTW I have flashed multiple times
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Easy fix:

Uninstall a program you have installed, then go to market and find it and reinstall. Next time you open market all your apps should be there now. Worked for me every time.
