Just finished my first boot with 1.8 (from 1.7). I've got to say Som, you cook up one hell of a rom. Almost makes me wonder if I'll actually bother with CyanogenMod once that gets released for the SGS. Not knocking Cyanogen, just saying that your rom is that good. Honestly I was never planning on doing anything significant other than running the leaked stock JI2 until Cyanogen came out but I kept reading about Bionix over here and on CyanogenMod's forum. It was finally when ViralBlack updated his "Overpowered Vibrant" thread for 1.7 on the CM Forum that curiosity got the better of me and I couldn't be happier.

tl;dr version: A hearty thanks to the entirety of Team Whiskey, you guys rock.

My only question is what benefits / perks does the KingKlix kernel offer over say the OC/UV JAC kernel? I tried doing a search (Both for KingKlix and just Klix) but got "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." (Sorry if this has been detailed in the last ~ 1/2 hr or so, I'm trying to keep up with the thread but I'm a slow typer at times)
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
anyone else having trouble changing wallpapers? i can get the live wallpaper to work fine, but standard wallpaper shows up as the jack skellington wallapper regardless of what I select.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rekarra:
My wallpapers are changing just fine. :-/
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Reboot & if that dont work, Reflash
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
thats my thought. oh well, good thing i have serious insomnia.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Mine are changing fine too. Dude should re boot

On a side note the droid live wallpaper is sweet...
[Vibrant Android Development] chuck112281:
thanks.

anyone flashed only Bionix 1.8 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel. is it fast enough to not use the voodoo lagfix?
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
reboot worked for wallpapers, not sure what the hang was, but it seems to be fixed. showing 1812 on quadrant. very niiice.

Error On Line 81 After Disabling Voodoo on 1.7, then Going to 1.8

Hey there Sombionix et al,

So excited about these updates, I have done a lot of searching so as not to annoy, and have found threads on the Error at line 81, didn't get that with stock to 1.7 today, but did after putting the proper disable-voodoo (without file extension) in the Voodoo folder, properly stated file was going back to RFS. , Then deleted the 'disable-voodoo' from the SD card, assuming to flash 1.8 with VOODOO I would need this gone to repartition in Voodoo format. Then rebooted, put zip for 1.8 on SD. Then went to Clockword, loaded ROM from SD. Went through process again, looked the same, until I got the Error in Line 81.

IN the prior threads in the 200 range, the solution was to just reflash the ROM. Things look fine it rebooted, etc. Am I missing something by not reflashing this? Do I need to delete the disable-lag file as I did in order to reflash the 1.8? I properly disabled the voodoo, but still got Error in Line 81.

Things seem tob e working but want to see a proper finish installation as I did with 1.7.

Thanks and sorry if this has been stated.

You rock hard!

Kelly
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Yes, its fast enough without one. Actually I cant tell a difference between with one and without on this rom. Except Quadrant of course.

But this rom flys like the wind..
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
The disable-lagfix must stay in the voodoo folder till you flash 1.8, then after it flashes you then delete that file and reboot. It will then repartition back to Ext. 4.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellyculligan:
smashpunks,

you are the wind beneath my wings and I don't even fly! seriously, many thanks. doing as you stated now, since thats the only variant between failure and success the last time, it stands to reason! :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] chuck112281:
thanks, will try Bionix 1.8 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel 1st.

And one more question, does the quad # really matter that much???
[Vibrant Android Development] ShanDestromp:
Admittedly I have yet to try any of the lag fixes but I must concur, especially compared to my wife's phone which is running one of the "stock" JI2 roms out there. I can swap to and from any app with no noticeable lag; and opening my fairly massive app drawer (I have 100+ user apps installed) is virtually instant. If there's something out there that can make this faster, I doubt I'd be able to tell.

From what I've seen, not really. My wifes phone hits around 850 (IIRC a straight from the factory Vibrant is around 800). Using 1.7 I was getting ~960. Other than a quick indicator to if your lagfix is working (ex Voodoo should give you around 1800+ IIRC) its basically to measure your e-peen.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Only for bragging purposes. So no. I base off real world. On stock a lagfix would be noticable in performance and quadrant. On this rom its so fast I dont think the lagfix even speeds anything up except the Quadrant score. Maybe a little but like I said this rom is fast as crap without it...

hell this rom is so fast voodoo may slow it down. lol Jk
[Vibrant Android Development] winhwah:
Oh yea, oh yea that's the way it should be when we first got the phone. Danm you Sammi please take notes from Master Sombionix and the Whiskey Team. You guys rock!!! Thank you, all my gratitude.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
No problem, hope all flashes well..
[Vibrant Android Development] chuck112281:
thanks, you guys are great.
[Vibrant Android Development] chuck112281:
cool man, thanks. coz i don't wanna go thru all the flashing since i have a larger NANAD chip
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
yea, I think if I were to flash 1.8 all over again id go with no lagfix.

On 1.7 this morning anticipating 1.8 I deleted the lagfix expecting the rom soon at that point, obviously it took all day, I ran it without all day and never noticed. Actually may have seemed faster.lol This rom is plenty fast without it IMO......
[Vibrant Android Development] Judgement5:
First I would like to say thanks for the great rom!

Everything seems great so far expect video player audio is coming out of the call speaker again for me anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Yup, mee too, darn.. Rock Player works fine..

Edit: I forget what other rom it happened in and if there was a quick fix.... HMMMMM i tried searching but its all messed up.. Search wont work for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
so guys, what's the difference between Kingclix and JACs kernels?
[Vibrant Android Development] Judgement5:
I took the video player from 1.7 and swapped it seems to work fine without any negative side effects.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
mind posting that? Or how you did it?

Edit: does it play real movies out the speakers fine? or just ones you recorded? cause ones recorded play fine in it, its real movies that dont work through the back speakers? can you verify for me please? thanks

Ruh Row - After Trying Nandroid Backup, Soft Brick, Now Phone Warning PC Icon

Hello there again,

I'm sure i can recover from this, but after following the instructions to disable Voodoo, then flash 1.8 (but NOT delete the disable voodoo file before flashing) everything was fine. Rebooted, heard the sexy ladies prompt that conversion was taking place. Instead of titanium I wanted to try nandroid from recover back up from two days ago. This caused problems and instructions on the OP are not working for me. I have a feeling it was because I resoted from a prior time with a different file extension partition? At any rate, when I rebooted it said it was applying the voodoo extension, it completed and then stayed on Vibrant for over 10 minutes. I assumed soft brick. Without panicking and having used ODIN, I weont to the OP page, downloaded froyo that does not brick, got into download mode, assigned the PIT and TAR exactly per instructions. UNCHECKED partiion, etc. However, the log shows:

----

ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

--

I'm assuming it has to be done this way to get rid of the voodoo lag fix in order to reinstall stock and the back to 1.8. However, since this error, I am now getting the little phone icon, connected to the PC with the warning sign.

I tried to follow to the T, not sure how to use ADB since I can't do it from the phone itself, (SDK download). Im sorry to post another "bricked!" and I'm sure I can get out of it, but coudl someone give me some guidance/ i'm assuming I can't try the samsung TAR / PIT with that voodoo ext still there.

Thanks so much,

Kelly

UPDATE:

I tried again, same PIT and TAR file, for some reason it's not giving me the error. Probably a false alarm, giving the rest of the steps a shot after this.

i'm sick of these kinds of posts too. :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] Judgement5:
1.Took 1.7 videoplayer.apk put it on internal

2.used root explorer to move the 1.8 player videoplayer.apk from system/app to my external sdcard

3.then used root explorer again to move 1.7 videoplayer.apk from my internal to system/app

4.reboot

Audio is coming out the right speaker now. For both recorded and regular media.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
sweet, I dont think I have the 1.7 apk. Could you upload it? Ill hunt around for it as well. Maybe I do have it, I have a backup of my 1.7 on titanium. HMMM

edit: nope dont have 1.7 darn... This so far is the only bug ive encountered and would like to squash this little bug..
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
Should i get the kingclick's or JAC's kernel?

which one is better?

what's the difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I have no idea, I just been using Jacs with no issues. So, I say Jacs.. Lol its a good question though Id like to know myself..
[Vibrant Android Development] Lavundra21:
am i the only person having problems downloading 1.8 stock file? i keep getting the 403 blank page message. ive downloaded every other stock file from this post but this one wont seem to work..
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Can you turn your phone back on during "7. Recharge fully" or do you need to wait until it has fully recharged?
[Vibrant Android Development] silow:
You can pull the apk from the bionix 1.7 zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
sweet, didnt think of that, thanks..

edit worked like a charmmmm.....
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
just booted 1.8 nice wallpaper.

smashpunks I think you forgot your link..
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Ok. the video player in the 1.7 version plays Movies (not recorded ones by you but actual movies) through the ear speaker making it really quiet like a release in the past. Until theres a real fix (unless this works for all) here is the version in 1.7. Its the same version 1.0, but for some reason works.

-So, take this apk, place it on internal sd using ROOT EXPLORER.

-Now go to System/App in root explorer and find the Video player apk.

-Move that video player apk out of there (i put in my apk file on SD)

-Now place the new video player APK posted here and move it in its place in System/apps..

-Reboot phone and all is well...

all credit goes to Judgement5 for the find on the fix..... thanks man...
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
yea thanks man, I was using Opera Mini on my phone. Hard to upload. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Cammarratta:
Is anyone else able to send and receive picture messages?

No matter what I try to do I can never send. My phone just has the sending icon. I even pushed the mms.apk from version 1.4 and nothing. :( any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Love the ROM though. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Send a few texts first? That worked for me once.

Maybe try handcent messaging also....
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
You can't search for terms with only two characters in this forum, so I do not know if this has been posted. My apologies if it has....

After installing 1.8 this morning, I now have a 4G icon where it used to say 3G. I don't know if tmo is rolling something out in the Virginia Bach area and this is just a coinidence, or what, but this is interesting.

Other than that, this seems to be a pretty good ROM.

By the way, it's been like eight hours since you put this out. Where's 1.9??? *Sheesh*

:)

(jk, of course)

Loving 1.8. Any chance could someone post how to get the stock android keyboard back to black like in 1.7?
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
Whoops, I forgot to mention that I am also using the Stock TouchWiz Framework for Bionix 1.8 flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
i noticed the kingclick's kernel version is bionix1.4??

i'll be using JAC's for now and then the kingclick's one later.. im kind of traumatized with Voodoo at the moment.

[Vibrant Android Development] acjames:
Im not sure what was goin on with 1.7 but that was the first ROM i flashed on my phone and I was having all kinds of issues. From freezing, when i am on a call i would only get the status bar on top and couldnt do anything, the market was slow, the phone was slow, just a bad experience. I was just about to go to stock and decided to try 1.8 and I am extremely satisfied with this one. Phone is super fast and everything is working as it should. Thanx.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Um? LMAO! You know Ics.settings was forgotten in the data/gps Folder Correct? I was Doing Tests with it for the I9000 ( It does Nothing on the Vibrant).
[Vibrant Android Development] jaysins:
Definitely on internal. Saying I have not cache folder and I do seem to be missing a few folders after doing the restore like mentioned in OP. I'll look into it but any help is always appreciated. Thanks for the quick response :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Many are experiencing FC with 1.3 w/Voodoo. I have not encountered any FC at all, I installed that very same day the day OP released this update.

I came off of 1.2 w/Voodoo Beta 4 and decided to update to 1.3 w/Voodoo. So I followed the OP's directions to the "T" on how to disable the Voodoo and when I rebooted I heared the female's robot voice disabling the Lag Fix (takes a few minutes). I then rebooted and removed the Voodoo folder in my SD root directory. Next, I used Clockwork to boot into recovery, installed 1.3 w/Voodoo and on reboot it self installed the Voodoo Lag Fix (again takes a Few minutes). Then, I rebooted and before I did anything I rebooted once more as the OP has mentioned on his previous ROMS. Once rebooted I Log-in to Google and downloaded Titanium and the rest is history. My phone performs great with no FC and lags.

All in all, I don't understand how many of you are have so many issues. I suggest you take the time to follow directions, I personally read every direction twice to be sure I don't miss anything that may brick my phone.

I honestly fill that Bionix ROMs are very well put together - great work OP!
[Vibrant Android Development] rpesigan6:
so any ETA on bionix1.4?
[Vibrant Android Development] jaysins:
Happening with Eugene's ROM which previously ran fine for me so it's not your ROM but something done when flashing or something that didn't flash over. Going to redownload stock ROM and see if this alleviates the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No specific date yet. However, I have been working on it. Unfortunately, the gf has threatened to throw my computer out the window if I don't take a couple days off. But since she doesn't read my thread....between you and I....I'm still working on it while she sleeps. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] augustorm:
First Attempt

Aight...I got to curious...

did a nandroid backup...and backed up with Titanium...

Now flashing bionix 1.3 with Kings Kernel....

Very Nervous lol....

Peace
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
This has happen several time to me and have performed the following:

Now, at your own risk...you can close Odin and re-open it(make sure your USB cable ins connected). Then, reset your phone by holding down the Volume rocker completely (I'm sure you know how). It should boot back into "Download Mode."

Next, load the PIT file again and the stock file UVJFD. That should get you going again.

Unless others have a better solution, Good Luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yea. My stock rom is fairly solid, there shouldn't be any FCs on that. Just keep in mind that sometimes these custom kernels don't play nicely with the phones hardware or software. And in my opinion, the voodoo fix is nice, but its still fairly experimental, which is why its still labeled as beta.
[Vibrant Android Development] augustorm:
Wow

Holy crap!

Way fast bootup...not so nervous now lol.

So anything I need to know before i go into Titanium and restore everything?

Thanks dude....my first rom...no issues so far.

Where do I send that whiskey?

Peace
[Vibrant Android Development] wyild1:

[Vibrant Android Development] skater991:
Setcpu problems!

FOR EVERYONE WITH SETCPU RESETTING TO LOWER FREQS AFTER A RESET

you need to create a setcpu.txt with the freqs in them

1.go to astro file explorer create a new zip file name it setcpu

2. rename the file from setcpu.zip to setcpu.txt

3. open this file as a "text" and delete everything and type the freqs you would like seperated by commas

EX. 200000,300000,400000,500000,700000,800000,900000,1000000,1200000

4. save this file, go into setcpu and go to device selection

5. choose show more freqs

6. select find the /sdcard/setcpu.txt

7. reboot , they should be set up right after reboots.

WOO!

I'd really like to give Voodoo a try, but I simply can't get it installed. I tried 1.3 w/Voodoo...no go. Tried the suggestion of installing the 1.3 w/o Voodoo first and then 1.3 w/Voodoo...no luck. I keep getting "device not supported." Should I give up before I push my luck too far? I've not used ODIN yet and would prefer to avoid it if I can.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I took down the Bionix1.3 w/voodoo link for a couple minutes. I'm uploading a new file. I made some changes to the update-script that MIGHT help some of you that are having problems getting the voodoo to enable. But no guarantees.

Am I not supposed to have a preferences button in the menu now?

I am still going through the Titanium restore atm...which seems to have slowed down to a snail's pace.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Bionix1.3 w/voodoo link back up with some fixes that MIGHT help some of you that were having problems getting voodoo enabled. No guarantee, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
:eek: I'd hate to think about you waking up to find your computer in pieces on the pavement. As far as I'm concerned, you've earned some days off, Bionix1.3 is fantastic.

One request, if I may. I absolutely love the two different battery displays in this thread. How hard would it be to implement them as an optional ROM or flashable zip?

I asked, in that thread, if I could flash them on Bionix1.3 and was told they probably weren't compatible as each battery mod is made for a specific framework. I didn't want to take a chance on messing up my Bionix :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yea, you won't want to flash those on top of this or it will mess up the current framework. However, I will make a flashable.zip with my framework that includes those icons. Might not be until later tonight, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Awesome! Also, I'm a graphic designer and am willing to volunteer my skills if you need any help in that area.

Some minor bugs found...

Okay before the bashing starts...I do not know how to produce a logcat...

If someone wants to post instructions in the OP then that would be great for everyone.

Now the bugs in 1.8 I found:

1) My GPS works great however I cannot lock onto more than 6 sats. This does not produce any problems as it still works and can get directions, however in 1.7 I could get 8 or 9 or 10 very easily.

2) History does not work at all. This also doesn't matter too much, but clicking on contacts and then viewing the history for all or even clicking on an individual contact and then viewing their history, nothing shows. It used to show everything from sms's to calls and even emails if done through the email app. I do not know if this was working in 1.7 as I did not check that there

Again both are minor and don't bother me much at all. Just a heads up!

And thanks so much for the whole development of everything! It is very much appreciated and it makes the Vibrant so much more enjoyable.
