Ok, I'd like to post my opinion of 1.6 w/ stock kernel and 1.6 w/ JACs OC/UV kernel. Everything seems to be working perfectly now that I have flashed the GPS fix and the system boot up is 10 seconds faster than it was in 1.4.

Many thanks to sombionix and Viralblack for another awesome ROM! I'll be donating again on payday to support this project :D

I honestly don't see how the next ROM can top this one, but I'm sticking around to find out :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
Hey didnt you recently post a mms fix in the frankin twiz thread? With the stock mms.apk do you think that will work here

Vibrant - Frankin-Twiz Final - JAC's Xmod kernel v1 - ext2 lag fix
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
The GPS fix is freaking amazing! i am indoors and am getting 7 locks! :) thanks!

I forgot to disable vodoo before flashing the gps fix but it worked fine, is that normal?
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
I don't think you have to disable voodoo to flash mods, only for flashing entire roms. I flashed the GPS fix as well a notification/battery icon mod without disabling voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
Gotya, thanks :) good to know.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
yeah it must be my setup, i'll first try another kernel and see how they behave then if the phone still freezes, i'll start over.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Yeah, GPS is working better than it ever has on my Vibrant. Thanks Viralblack and Sombionix!
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:
So the sound is a Samsung issue not the rom, but is there any way to fix or should I just go back to 1.4?

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Nope, Doesnt freeze on me
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I sent almyz125 a PM earlier so he can update the Vibrant Directory :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Is it just standard mms that is broke or picture messaging? Regular mms works fine for me, have not tried a picture message tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
It's the pic messaging, mms should work just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
But, Im testing what MIGHT be the fix right now
[Vibrant Android Development] TheBrandonWRX:
This can be flashed right over eugenes rom correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Cool, Keep us updated :)
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
:D :bowdown:
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yeahhhh :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
I had this problem, try reflashing.

Maybe the LVH? http://www.appbrain.com/app/louder-volume-hack-v3-6/com.AutoMod
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
The only real issue I've found so far with Bionix 1.6 is Video Player. Audio levels are much lower than they are in Rockplayer, and the 5.1 SRS effect isn't working. But I've encountered issues with 5.1 SRS since JI2.

I updated to this from JI5 via Clockwork, so I'm tempted to Odin back to JFD and try again to see if it's somehow leftover crap...

Excellent firmware otherwise!
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
It is the 1.6 framework with soniqu3's images for status and battery thrown in.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Update on my issues.

I ended up flashing to Bionix 1.6 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel for now and make sure everything was stable on there and it is except for the other known issues like MMS.

Getting GPS lock thanks to Viralblack. I'm getting about 4-5 satellite locks. The only weird thing is when I go on google maps; my location jumps around a little even though I'm not moving my phone at all.

The swype keyboard issue I was having with I believe was caused by doing the Titanium backup. So all I did was untick it before doing the batch process.

All my music apps that I use are working with no issues including Pandora.

I tested Avatar again and it still plays low volume but only when using the stock Video Player. I tried using the doubleTwist and the volume is fine using that. So I guess the volume is with the Video Player. So I guess people can just use doubleTwist for now if they want.

I'm currently doing a backup of the non Voodoo version and will try everything on the Voodoo version.
[Vibrant Android Development] sheek360:
Awesome. Got a hot chic trying to send nude pics lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10700321/MMS.apk

This fix is Careof Eugene, I cant take all the credit for it, but after a message from another poster in this forum it sent me on the right track.

Downside to this, you can ONLY use this fix with Touchwiz.

I dont have a flashable zip file. This is just the APK for those of you that cant wait ;)

Put the apk in the /system/app folder over the existing one and reboot, touchwiz. Have to use touchwiz. Icons a little screwed up too, but I can fix that later.

(Flash at your own risk, its very rough and still screwed up, but for those whining and pining ;P)

After a reboot or two it works with Zeam again, but the messaging smiley is black lol
[Vibrant Android Development] peaman427:
Watching avatar in the stock video player and the sound won't play through the speakers. It's playing through the ear piece when you normally talk on the phone. Like when you hold the phone to your head. Running 1.6. All my other videos and mp3 plays fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
cool. will there still be an update later that will allow us to use something other than touchwiz?
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Agreed. Just got a chance to test the GPS on my drive home. Locked onto 7-8 satellites in less than 10 seconds without using wireless networks! It tracked great all the way home. Now the true test will be how the GPS holds up over the next few days without a reboot. So far, so good.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Groovy, s0niqu3 wasnt sure the new build would work on bionix1.6, I ran it early this morning at work right after flashing 1.6, seamless install. I can't wait to get my home pc back up and start contributing around here. Until then I'm a sponge soaking up as much knowledge as I can, and flashing Odin at work if I have to. About to take my fist shot at voodoo, here goes nothin....
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
After listening to it carefully again....Well the reason why the Video Player isn't as loud is apparent now. It's playing all audio through the earpiece and not the external speaker. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Lies. Nothing but Lies.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
+1 hahhahah
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Its working with either, it just doesnt show up at first.

if at first you dont see it, restart a few times. That seems to be the order of the day.

I can tell you MMS is working along side regular messaging right now with Zeam launcher
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Speed

Sorry to harp on this, folks, but I sure would appreciate your input as I am a working stiff without enough time to test ROM after ROM.

I am on stock JI5 with the large (non-Voodoo compatible) NAND. I am trying to decide whether to go to Bionix 1.6 stock or OC/UV but non-Voodoo).

On a speed scale of 1 to 100, with 10 being stock JI5 and 80 being a ROM with Voodoo, what speed would you say Bionix 1.6 (stock version) is?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Do i need to rename bionix rom update. zip and place on sd to flash? or leave it as is. Also if I install bionix with stock kernel can I then install voodo kernel of choice over it? thanks for any feedback.
[Vibrant Android Development] thegreatcity:
Anyone know of a working stock/vanilla notification bar+pulldown metamorph? I tried flashing the black-to-stock theme and and got force close loops.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
So?

What's the end result here?

Is everything working? whats the true deal? I want to use this rom if its all working. Im running frank-twiz which is working nice. But, this one is faster if ALL is working.

please someone post real info thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
sweet, thanks for the info. you also said its very rough and to use at our own risk... should i just wait for your flashable zip then? i dont mind waiting :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
+1

I used to like the blackness but not so much anymore, Don't know why :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ill work on a few metamorphs, we just need to get 1.6 JI6 up to par first.

Proof of life - MMS Fixed, GPS Fixed, No other issues, closes or other bugs retainable at this time:
[Vibrant Android Development] MrGibbage:
Pics or it didn't happen :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Cool, thanx
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
MMS is fixed with the new .apk but it breaks Puzzle Lock notification
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
It works at least, its a work in progress ;) the JI6 APK is broken and doesnt want to work. This appears to be a universal truth with the build

There will be more updates and fixes, but at this point, theres nothing major broken. Itd be like complaining about scratches on a ferrari :P
[Vibrant Android Development] thegreatcity:
Sounds good. :)

A suggestion....I dont mind the black notification bar, its really the black pulldown that I hate.

A hybrid black bar/stock pulldown would be great.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I really want to try this version but seems a few issues. Gps, but fixed, mms don't work unless on tw? Sound in music player not working?

I'll flash this once fixed.... Awesome rom non the less..
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
Yes Titanium is the way to go. Also you have the option to reinstall your apps all at one time or individually and also the option of installing the app with its data, just the app itself or just the data of the app. Many options. Also I use Zeam Home App so when I reinstall Zeam and my apps it puts all of my apps where they were so I don't have to place each app back where I had last placed them. It's really very helpful.
[Vibrant Android Development] thegreatcity:
Sounds good. :)

A suggestion....I dont mind the black notification bar (the battery icon is way nicer than I thought it would be), its really the black pulldown that I hate.

A hybrid black bar/stock pulldown would be great.
[Vibrant Android Development] kwbdc:
GPS fix is incredible. Locked on 9 out of 11 and accurate to 18.8 feet with GPS test! Thanks VBlack! I guess I can be patient and wait for the full MMS fix since I like to use Launcher pro.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
It would be cool if he made a vanilla bar also though :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
MMS is mostly fixed, Im just too busy at work to make up a zip flashable.

It DOES work with both TW and standard launchers now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Any of these will be simple once we get the bugs done up. Well get requests for metamorph themes for this as the revision becomes final for JI6 2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
Awesome work guys this ROM is F'N fast!! and the GPS is incredible!
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackVision:
I actually love the black theme of bionix. Franklin ROM is ugly.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I agree. this black looks smooth. Twiz is boring..
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Searched this thread and didn't find an answer...

I am one of the unlucky who has the larger nand, therefore, the voodoo lagfix will not work on my vibrant. Tried to follow the ext2 lag fix in the op but the userinit script does not exist. I flashed 1.6 w OCUV kernel, no voodoo. Suggestions? Should I just use the OCLF from the market? Thanks and awesome work!
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
i am still wondering about the other lagfix through adb, not voodoo. voodoo seems like soooo much work if you ever want to flash updates etc. etc. on 1.4 i used the lagfix through adb on the OP, and it worked flawlessly. Then on 1.5 and also on 1.6

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"

any ideas, or is voodoo the only lagfix option now?
[Vibrant Android Development] kwbdc:
Not sure where to find the /system/app folder. I'm assuming it's on the internal SD but I don't see any folder called system.. ?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
So is the sound out the stock video player messed up? Basically that and mms are only issues right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
MMS is a non issue now, its just got the wrong color icon.

The sound is samsungs fault, we will do what we can to fix it this evening
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Unless I am mistaken you will need a program like Root Explorer that has root access to be able to see/modify system files. I could be wrong though.

Since I'm posting though, anyone know a way to apply custom Icons without using Bettercut?

And anyone know if it is possible to get Google Talk SMS to notify you on the lock screen (like the stock SMS does now)?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Sweeta thanks for your help I'm gonna flash her now. Waiting 3 weeks for the ota was a retarded idea I had.
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Well, if your taking requests ;) I like the transparent pull down.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ill definitely take all kinds of requests, just have to make stuff stop breaking lol.

I enjoy skinning a lot more than programming and thats all ive been doing all day is molesting code.

Once I get free, ill take care of you glamornuts and have more than a few looks done up.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram130:
Update!

Well so far everything is great except for a few issues I'll mention later. GPS rocks! Compass is better now but not perfect! Otherwise the rom is fast and running great.

Here are some pictures of my walk in an area with GPS:

Now at that time I was facing the green or the park in this case but it showed me pointing somewhere else. So I decided to check the app:

I guess the gps was just getting warmed up. Anyway after few more minutes everything was more accurate and finally, I got more than 5 locks!:

Nice! But my black out problem seems to affect Pandora too:

For those having Pandora playback issues, it works great here! Try a reflash. I have not had any freezing, try putting setcpu to 1000max.

Great job Sombionix and Viralblack keep it up!

Just few issues remain:

* Using the Video Player app results in the sound coming out the Earpiece as noted here:

Using any other Video player app such as MixZing works great!

Known Bugs reported that I can confirm too:

*When call tones enabled causes radio to reset

*MMS pics, but a fix is in progress!

Thanks again!! Your hard work is paying off I'm sure!

I am using Bionix 1.6 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel

SetCPU at 1000max/200min
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
any ideas? am i doing something wrong with the ext2 lagfix, or does it not work on 1.6?
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
Thanks a lot for the fantastic work bionix and viral! Right now I'm using 1.4 and I'm dying to try this one... however because of the piss poor reception where I live, having call tones enabled is a must. Talking to yourself is not fun at all, believe me.

Any ideas on when that will be sorted out? It's the only thing holding me back. I can live with any bug at all, but not that one.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
I just havent gotten the apk into a zip yet, but the new mms.apk works
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Ill look at that once I get out of work, still trying to code and work for the next hour or so

It was just pointing to a sound that I think is missing, I think if I readd that itll work
[Vibrant Android Development] brainstormerus:
Okay, after flashing bionix 1.6 with the stock kernel, everything's running smoothly and speedily! Many thanks. Only challenge is that I can't seem to download apps from the Market or AppBrain anymore. Connection is fine, and I can search for/view lists of apps, but downloads (and syncs, in AppBrain's case) don't go through. Anyone else having this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Question does mobile ap work for anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] Netphase:
I will try it on mine now and let you know what happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I can make it flashable (.zip) if you wanna pass it to me :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kangxi:
I just wanted to pop back in say a few things. I thought that my GPS was working fine, but after flashing the new "GPS Fix" I was able to lock on all satellites very quickly. Before I was getting around 6 and thought that was good enough. 10 - 12 s definitely a step up! Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
GPS is fine!

I just had to post this. On the way home I had my droidX and vibrant duking it out and the results were great for the vibrant. As soon as I flashed the rom GPS was pretty suckish. All it needed was a few reboots, and to spend a few minutes outside and bam i'm getting hits faster than my droidX. Not only am I getting faster lock-ons but i'm getting more satellite locks with the droid X.

At first the droidx was beating the virbant by a hair but I I then discovered that Wireless networks was enabled. Once I disabled that the droidX really began to struggle. I'm begining to think this was somewhat of a placebo affect, as most of us were fixated on GPS. Then as soon as it didn't get an instant lock we panicked. That's all.

I'm using GPSFix and GPS Status from the market. Both are great GPS bench tools.
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
Ooops sorry. I think they know of the issue anyway. Wow what a day. Sorry again. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
Thank you so much... that's excellent news! I will be waiting and watching patiently.
[Vibrant Android Development] nalaar:
I need little help here trying to disable the lagfix.i did as told,create a Voodoo folder in the root of my sd card. Then I open up a new blank text doc. Rename it to disable-lagfix, the file added an extention to the file with .txt ithink.

I then went into my option to check off hide ext. I then deleted the extention . I copy the file disable-lagfix to the Voodoo folder created on my sd card, o even check to make sure thw file had no extn. Using a file explore. I turn off phone and turn it back on. Usimg terminal. I type mount and the the line still read a 4 and not a 2 , not sure what im doimg wrong here. I know ots not disable because im still getting 1800+ bemchmarkimg it
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
For the sound out issue.

I am getting normal output over the external speaker with recorded video and the Avatar trailer. It is just the Avatar movie that is not outputting to the external. Probably something to do with the DRM.

Anyone else confirm?
[Vibrant Android Development] Netphase:
Try "adb devices" and see if you get "not found". Trying to move the userinit.sh without adb seeing the phone causes the error message that you posted.

I had no trouble with this mod on 1.3 and 1.4, but now I can't get adb to see my phone. USB debugging is on.
[Vibrant Android Development] jasonmlit:
gracias, i have posted this question 3 times, everyone has their voodoo blinders on. lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Sooooo is it just me or does the EXT4 portion of voodoo not actually work with this version....

it installs fine, overclocks, and runs good but still doesnt change the format to ext4.... really want this as it makes it waaaay faster and is a less damaging file system.
[Vibrant Android Development] kwbdc:
You were correct. Used a root explorer type of program and mms works great. The only weird thing is the colors are all white within but I'm hoping that gets fixed later. Thanks for the better than helpdesk like customer service!
[Vibrant Android Development] Mookie_Jones:
I've completely mess things up.i copied the mms.apk and deletef.the old one and now nothing works for me. Please help
[Vibrant Android Development] JoeSkeen:
I must say, 1.6 is by far the best ROM my little phone has seen! Excellent work Sombionix, and thanks for the touch-ups Viral! GPS fix works pretty damn well, although I swear my best GPS results were from back when JI2. Just did a driving navigation test and it showed me off the road a few times and down the wrong road twice, but got back on track quickly. Overall, I definitely trust it to navigate me through a foreign land. :P

Smooth ROM, great theme! It's a shane Samsung can't do quality work like this.
[Vibrant Android Development] samoelito:
cant do the ext2 lagfix.. says no userinit.sh file
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Did you reboot? A lot of times if you replace a system app you have to reboot for it to recognize the new app. (Has happened to me when replacing the calculator app).
[Vibrant Android Development] bigsquid:
I'm running 1.3 kk version, does that have a lagfix already? I haven't installed one but I'm still new and trying to figure this all out before I get the ota.

Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
sombionix - I just read your instructions on how to disable the voodoo lagfix, isn't it unecessary to create a "vodoo" folder since the original lagfix already comes with one? do i simply create a folder inside the existing vodoo folder named "disable-lagfix"?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
If you're Bionix1.3 with the stock kernel, then no. However, if you are already using a lag fix, you need to disable it first.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Correct. I mainly put that that step in there so it would force people to make sure they have that folder on the root of their sdcard.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
many thanks to you, awesome work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I'm assuming if i'm using the old lagfix that you had posted for 1.2 that I should just be able to wipe, then flash 1.3 (non voodoo version). Am I right about that or should I restore a non lag-fix version then flash on top of that?
[Vibrant Android Development] skater991:
can we flash the 1.3 and then the kingklick ov uv kernal?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I believe you should be fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I believe so. kingklick said his kernel was compatible with bionix1.2, it should be fine with 1.3.
[Vibrant Android Development] shuka325:
Just booted the 1.3 w/ voodoo and now rebooting the second time. Like the Bionix!! This is my first ROM i have downloaded and so far it is totally fantastic!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
I'm slight confusedly and not sure if I missed a step. I flashed Bionix 1.3 with the voodoo lag fix and everything went just fine, but it seems like the lag fix did not get installed. My Quandrant score is still in the 800's. When I go to the terminal and type "mount" it says "/dev/block/mmcblkop2" which I think means there's no voodoo lag fix.

I did shutdown and rebooted after the first startup was complete after flashing the rom.

Did I miss something?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Just flashed Bionix1.3 and I love it! Thanks for the IM app, not sure why Samsung removed it. The 'black theme goodness' is indeed awesome! I love the boot-down image!

sombionix, dude, I'm gonna have to buy you some whiskey :D
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
So if my phone can't handle the OC but I want the voodoo.. Should I just flash the normal rom and then so voodoo? Or does the normal rom without the OC have voodoo?

Sent from my Vibrant (which is soon to force close this very app :D)
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Quick Question:

If I had a lagfix like ryanza's from a while back, but since have flashed several roms including bionix1.2 and FT. Do I still have that lagfix installed or did the flashing of the roms wipe out any previous lagfix? Just curious as maybe this is why I cant get voodoo beta4 to work on my phone. Until I know for sure Im afraid to flash Bionix1.3 with the voodoo fix, lol. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Just uploaded another version with Kingklicks Oc, Uv Kernel. ;)
