So I went searching over in the Twiz thread for the mms fix. I found one that works. You change your mms.apk file. the only problem is that it takes the messaging app out of the bottom bar. It is also a completely different messaging app that does not go with the 1.6 theme. Good news is that I can send and receive MMS.

Is there a way to force a program into the bottom toolbar? I could put up with this fix until we get a true fix from Mr. Bionix.
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
BUMP....I know a bunch of you are already running this...so, please be kind enought to share what you're finding as far as GPS and any other issues. Only a handful so far have posted to report how 1.6 is running (and thank you to those who have...and to sombionix!).
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
ok.....listen everyone, MMS is working, you just can't send pictures, I am working on a fix. I will package it up into a flashable.zip that WONT wipe your data, so settle down, you won't lose anything.

I am also working on third party notifications that are showing up black in the notification area. If I can get it to work, I will package it up in the update as well.

There have been a couple people reporting about not getting GPS locks. Lets be realistic, this phone has been sketchy with GPS from day one out of the box. HOWEVER, it is working, I'm getting 12 sat views with a minimum of 10 locks consistently with 3 meter accuracy. For those having 0 sat locks, you may need to come to terms that it could be hardware related. It happens, even with new phones unfortunately.

EDIT: Let me be very clear....text messing IS WORKING, you just can't send pictures! I am working on a fix and will post it later in a flashable.zip that WILL NOT wipe your data.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
Since JI6 is a final release, GPS should be working 100% unless there is something in this ROM that breaks it.
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
Yes, there was. I'm not sure why it was taken down...though I do prefer the black theme myself.
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
How can I check the number of satellites I'm getting?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kwintar:
If the program show up in the app drawer, click the menu button, view type, Customizable Grid, then the menu button again and edit. This should allow you to change two of the buttons in the bottom drawer.

Hope that helps. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
Would you like me to post up the MMS.apk file that I got to work so that you can compare the two? Might make a fix a lot quicker?
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Turn on Networks > Menu/Settings/Location and Security/Use Wireless networks

Also, make sure you have WiFi off! Then go outside and test using GPS Status from Market.
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
I'm trying to do this except I can't dl this rom from mediafire... So if I get a mirror to this I will start to theme it... Until then I'm stuck on 1.5
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
Download gps test from the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
Is there anyway to check if voodoo is enabled from within the phone? Like through terminal? If so tell me how. I want to verify its installed but I'm at work so I really can't.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
you should think about making the ROM updatable. Its quite easy for people to WIPE if they have too. I've been doing updates on Nexus for like 6-7 month now and everything works 100% without a single WIPE.
[Vibrant Android Development] shuka325:
Loving 1.6. Thanks again Bionix, very well played.

I was just wondering if anyone has tested the non-vooddo OC/UV and then the OC/UV with voodoo to see if there is any real difference between the two other than the given, quadrent scores. I am running the non voodoo and it is so smooth i am just wondering if there is any advantage with voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjhart85:
Have you flashed JI6?

Did it work for you? If it did, then you have a case, if you haven't, then you're just spouting randomness.

Nandroid yourself up & do a test to verify that it actually IS a problem with his ROM rather than badmouthing it/him.
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
my gps works perfect, I enable "use wireless networks" as well as gps!!!! Do it now!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
i didnt say there is a problem in the rom to begin with......so i am not badmouthing anyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
That did the trick. Of all the **** I can do on this phone, sometimes it is the little **** that gets by me. :)

You learn something new every day.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey Sombio I thought 1.4 was nice but 1.6 is tremendous!! I'll just repeat myself, AWESOME JOB!!!

I'm currently using the 1.6 OC/UV kernel version

The GPS is working fine, you just have to give it enough time the first time you use it to settle in. I thought it wasn't working also but after after giving it a few minutes it found 11 sats and locked in on 8 of them. This was using GPS Test and GPS Status, both yielded the same results.

My MMS is working just fine also although I have not tested sending pics so I can't comment on that.

Also I know Pandora was reported to have some issues with different versions of 1.5 but on 1.6 all is good:)

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
I hope yall don't ignore me... how do I know if the right ROM is running? it says

Baseband Version

T959UVJ16

kernel Version

2.6.29

Build Number

Eclair.UVJ15

i flashed the new Bionix 1.6 Voodo lagfix.. I how can I tell if it's working and not 1.5?
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
any insight on the volume issue with videos? I have gone back to 1.5 and the volume is louder.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
In terminal emulator type:

1. type 'mount'

2. If it is disabled is should read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'.

3. If it is not disabled, it will read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4'.
[Vibrant Android Development] Foobyte:
I don't even understand why so many of you want the stock look back. It's my main reason why I'm using this rom.

Thanks a bunch for 1.6 by the way. Great job! :)

As far as my problem with the background tasks is concerned, I think it was caused by Super Manager, didn't know it had a memory app build in which was set to clean up processes by default.

I hate doing backups so I did a clean install of this ROM last night and set everything up manually, including my 30 min notification thingies for Engadget, Facebook, OkCupid, E-Mail.

Went to bed with 44% Battery left and during the night I could hear it screaming at me "initiating shutdown"... No idea what drained the battery so quickly because I rebooted before going to bed. I'll watch the usage throughout the day though.... Is anyone else having issues with battery usage?
[Vibrant Android Development] Lavundra21:
My gps still doesn't work.. I've tried flashing this rom twice. Is there anything else I can do? Other than gps this is by far the best rom I've flashed since buying my vibrant.. Thanks for the good work.
[Vibrant Android Development] one4house:
I just want to state that I am having this issue also. I am playing a video that is always really load and you can barley hear it. Just something else to check out when you get a chance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Varify that you have "Use wireless networks" [x] checked ON and "Use GPS satelites" [x] ON too!
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
You flashed 1.6...and your phone booted up fine and is working. I'm pretty sure that that's your answer in itself. I don't think it's possible to flash a new rom and have your phone ignore it and stick with the old one. If it didn't take right, your phone wouldn't be working properly. It wouldn't automatically stick to 1.5 or revert back to it unless you nandroid back to it first.

What happend to the black search widget and power controls?
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
First off, you need a full battery charge and once you have that, boot into recovery. Then, toggle down to Advance/Wipe Battery Status - Reboot - Done!
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
Known problem. Sombionix is already working on a patch.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lavundra21:
Yep all on.. navigation just says searching for gps and then dies out.
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
Same issue here.

I read somewhere in this thread that a fix is coming.

I also read that pushing the AOSP mms.apk to your device fixes this problem.

I'm a bit loathe to do that though. I've had problems with AOSP apk files in the past.

AWESOME ROM nonetheless!
[Vibrant Android Development] Lunatixz:
Hey bionix great work, thanks...

Can you post the twframework-res for 1.6 that includes the iphone like icons? I normal just fix it myself, but for some reason in the 1.6 build it doesn't work...

thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
quick question... just flashed to 1.6 without voodoo (makes me nervous for some reason) but want to still do the ext2 lag fix through adb. whenever i try the:

mv /system/bin/userinit.sh /system/bin/used

i get.....

"failed on '/system/bin/userinit.sh' - No such file or directory"

am i doing something wrong or does this not work on the 1.6, it didn't work on 1.5 either, and i am just hesitant to use voodoo, because of all the enable disable junk every time you want to flash a new rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dallas2214:
Sombionix said that there was a fix for being able to send he said that you should be able to receive though if I read right :| im not able to receive though oh well guess ill wait for flashable update and see if I can receive after fix
[Vibrant Android Development] D-REW:
Still having issues with gps. Seems like it got worse from the stock vibrant. before it would take a few minutes to get my location. But now its taking forever. Haven't figured out my location yet. Anyone else having problems with the gps?

[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
maybe he's incorporating the new vodoo lag fix with this... that would actually be awesome if he did :D
[Vibrant Android Development] dattas:
Not likely, although beta4 works great with bionix 1.2. Everybody just take a few breaths, maybe go outside, play some games, etc. He will release it when he releases it and not a moment sooner. Just be patient; he has a life and has the right to live it, so go live yours.

Thanks for all of your work sombionix! We all really appreciate it!
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Anyone have any thoughts on how to disable the lag fix recommended in the OP, turn it off so Voodoo can be flashed?
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
I agree totally.. I hate when people misunderstand me :( its not your fault though :) I know sometimes i come off as a douchebag that just likes to use devs. I think i should have the right to be excited though :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
flash back to stock via Odin
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Yeah, just pushed the batch to do a titanium backup, going to do that now

EDIT: Odined, Flashing Voodoo B.4 now

EDIT2: Clean install, flashed clear, Linda is epic on first boot. Titanium Backup is restoring, will quadrant/linpack once done
[Vibrant Android Development] DFWGringo:
As you can tell from my last post I'm pretty new to all of this, but I'm learning. Anyway, can some tell me a few things about the Bionix1.2 ROM.

- First, can the buttons be remapped so that Home is Home and Back is Back?

- Second, can the Volume rocker be reversed so up is up and down is down?

- Last, is there a configuration I can change for screen orientation? When Orientation is locked it is in portrait mode, which I can live with if I have to. When Orientation is unlocked it stays in landscape, which is a pain.

Thanks for all of the hard work you put in on this!
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Bionix 1.2 and Voodoo, a match made in heaven! :)

Running clean and smooth, the speed is VERY noticable.
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
I am interested in using voodoo.. but isnt it hard to undo?
[Vibrant Android Development] dattas:
I simply made the first change in the lagfix in the op: Moved the userinit to used, backed up using titanium backup, rebooted, removed the dataimg, booted into recovery and flashed. I know that is probably not the best way to do it on this rom, but now I don't have an annoying 1gb file making my nandoid backups huge.
[Vibrant Android Development] briankao1992:
How would I do that? Looked around the gmail app, couldnt find anything, maybe im not looking hard enough
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I was THIIIIIIS close to uploading but then got my hands on the new voodoo beta4. :) Switched out the kernels and compiling right now. Will be up early in the morning. Once again, sorry for the hold up and thank you all for being patient.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
None of us can do anything but sing your praises at the moment :) thanks for all the hard work, its working beautifully with voodoo and I cant wait for the new release changes.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No worries at all. Just glad to FINALLY be done with all of these changes. I've gone through an entire bottle of advil the past few days. haha
[Vibrant Android Development] infinityv:
Be sure to drink lots of water. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I've already installed voodoo on top of 1. 2 , is it going to be necessary to undo it before flashing your new Rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Thanks a lot :) take your time and make it the best you can.

Edit: are you going to put voodoo in the stock rom or are you going to post it separately like you did with the overclocks?

o Ok thanks.. it must have worked :) because i disabled lag fix, listened to the robotic lady speak, then flashed the 1.6 rom and ran quadrant and scored 1890... so cool. thanks a lot for responding because this thread moves fast!
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
I don't think they wanted to use my drawables... I could make a morph based on 1.5 but would rather work with 1.6

Good job on the 1.6 release.

How is it working out for everyone? I have been waiitng on a 1.6 full fix. I tried 1.5 and liked it very much except for the bugs :)

Waiting to see some replys on the 1.6 release before I flash.

Thanks guys and thanks ALL that did this work
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
correct me if im wrong but with 1.6 running there is no need to worry about the ji6 ota right? Its the same without the speedy goodness.
[Vibrant Android Development] NWolf:
GPS doesn't seem to be working for me, either. Was working fine in 1.2, which I flashed from.
[Vibrant Android Development] biigreen:
I'm lovin it!!!!

I am freakin' loving this ROM!!!! It is blazing fast and seemingly very stable.

:D:D:D:D

Thanks SOMBIONIX!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
We dont know if the leak is the true update until someone pulls it. The new JI6 may have fixes. Who knows until the file is dropped.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Is the GPS issues with 1.6? or what version?
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
I'm downloading TrueStock 2.1 Firmware from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739091

I found where the framework-res.apk lives (/system/framework ... that was easy)

I will boot into recovery and use adb push to copy the framework-res.apk file over the Bionix one on the phone.

adb push c:\local_extracted_dir\system\framework\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Reboot phone and I should be good to go, right??? (Someone please correct me before I make some big mistake)

To the people that question why I want the stock look back, it's because there are always apps that expect a certain look and running custom colors messes things up. Some apps, for instance will use a black font in the notification pane so you can't see them. I like this ROM because of it's speed and other behind the scenes enhancements.

SOMBIONIX, thanks! You da man!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jaynrb:
i doubt GPS is messed up with 1.6 because this is the first time i was able to open maps and get an exact reading in seconds... with ALL the updates up through 1.5 my location too about 2 minutes to get a lock. Now i just open it and its THERE... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
Went outside to take the dog for a walk...

GPS saw 12 birds in 5 mins but didn't lock onto a single one of them :(

WiFi was off and "Use Wireless Networks" was off.

GPS was golden for me on Bionix 1.5, don't know why I'm having trouble now.
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
I think you need to turn on "Use wireless networks".
[Vibrant Android Development] Lunatixz:
you could also go into drawables and make your own custom look mixing and matching to make your own look... easy to do

but this isn't working for the twlauncher-res to gain back the iphone look...

I do agree that the black stat notification bar looks great but isn't really compatible with most apps!

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I've got a question about OverClocking that hopefully someone here will know the answer to. I installed 1.4 w/JACs OC/UV and I've got SetCPU set to 1200/200mhz as recommended. I disabled profiles as I was advised last night, but I'm still having issues.

I get terrible lag when I go to do searches from the home screen--contact and web searches will just freeze after or during typing for a good ten seconds, when I hit the home key from an app, search key from an app, ect. I use LP Plus and I tried different launchers, but I get the same issues. I've rebooted many times, and don't know what else to try. Simple actions are painfully slow all of a sudden.

My phone ran great the first week or so since 1.4 was released, but not now. I know I've read that some phones can't handle being OC'd, but how could that be the case if everything was great up until a couple days ago? I've added no new apps since the issues started. No lagfix, or anything like that. I'm downloading 1.6 w/o Voodoo, but I'm hoping someone might offer some insight before I flash this.

[Vibrant Android Development] rjscott2005:
I've got my phone powered down while charging at the moment so I can't give you exact instructions. If you want to try something real quick- find 'HAC mode' and enable it. It's in Settings>Sound and Display (I think...). I don't know if it's only for phone calls or what but it bumps up the volume for people with hearing disabilities.
[Vibrant Android Development] psjames:
How to you get into the GPS settings. I was able to get accuracy with in 4 meters on 1.4 but with 1.6 I can't get accuracy under 100 meters. In 1.4 I was able to get into the gps settings and change to MS Base as Standalone would never get a fix. Can somebody tell me how to get in and change it sot MS Base. *#*#1472365#*#* does not work on 1.6. I have tried letting the phone sit with GPS on and Networks on and wifi off for over 20 minutes and it would not lock it would only see 5 or 6. I love 1.6 but I may have to go back to 1.4 to get the gps to work.

So I went into the camera looking for an option to used the ffc, and found nothing. I was also wondering if the drivers for the ffc were already pushed into the rom. Any info on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:
You guys need to verify it's his rom and not some app or user error that's causing some of the issues people are reporting. I have used it nonstop and battery life is excellent, I have no issues that others are reporting. Gps is working perfectly. Stop being whiny b****es and show this man love. Verify it isn't something other than this mans hard work before you go posting, it's hard enough for new people wanting to get in on this to go thru all the stuff and get accurate info. I know what I'm doing but I have 5 other friends and family phones to work on and they rely on me because they don't get all the problems people sometimes put in here.

Quick question, after installing Bionix 1.5 or 1.6, media hub wont play purchased movies. It'll play the previews but not purchased. Does this have to do with licensing or the video player since I noticed media hub uses video player to play movies.
[Vibrant Android Development] gl3nng:
tried switching on off screen orientation and still doesnt work. It was ok with 1.5....
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
I will do this also, my battery was 100% when I loaded it earlier this morning. 5 hours later it was down to 8%. Wifi was on along with Push (needed for work). I will try the above, never had a problem before with 1.3 or 1.4 (never used 1.5).
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Awesome rom! Its very fast and stable. Keep up the great work!

Here are bugs i encountered-

When you are in a call and you press home and then lock then screen, it freezes completely but your call still works.

Videos don't play out of the back speaker, only the headset speaker.
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
Dont think anyone else reported this yet, but one thing i noticed is that when using LCD density changer with 1.6, some of the screens arent using full screen which did in v1.4. Example. WeatherBug, in 1.4 it used the full screen, but now it's only using a tiny window top center. I will uninstall and reinstall to see (used tb to restore the apps).
[Vibrant Android Development] nealante:
Okay! Here's my opinion, 1.6 is beautiful but 1.4 has a much smoother movement. Plus I like the vibrant cam much better than captivate! Also my sdcard kept unmounting.
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
Installed 1.6 and it never locked on to a GPS signal (yes all was on GPS Sats, Wireless networks, use my location) and it kept saying "searching"??? But other than that really nice ROM!!
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
is that still the captivate camera i see in 1.6? hell yeah! i prefer this over the vibrant's camera..
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
If you just push the framework-res from another ROM you are going to run into issues. You need to open the framework-res from 1.6 with 7zip and replace the png files that you want change with ones from the stock framework. Then push your edited 1.6 framework. Otherwise you will have a lot of FCs.
