Sweeet! Thanks for all the feedback, it gives me a very good starting point so I can fix the issues present.

1. Currently I did purposely remove the bootup and bootdown sounds. Previously I had a lot of requests to take them out because they were apparently 'corny'. So keep them in, keep them out, change them? Guess we'll see.

2. I'm thinking the brightness is a bug that coming from the new lock screens. Not only did I have to change the framework-res, values, and layout, but I also had to change the settings menu completely and I think its messing with something.

3. Swype seems hit and miss but I think I may have it figured out. Some of you aren't getting a single FC with it, but some have reported that you are. I personally haven't had a FC either, but I don't want ANY FCs for anyone, this is my goal.

4. I will lighten the menu pull down icons to match the lighter blue that's in the notifications area.

5. Some of you prefer additional gradients, colors etc, however, as this phone is a power hog, I'm trying to eliminate as many activated pixels as possible. I realize its small thing, but I'm trying to squeeze as much battery life out of this thing as possible.

6. I will get the updated rom manager and toss it in.

7. I will look into the settings menu lag that 'some' of you are experiencing. I'm not experiencing it so its harder for me to figure out when I can't personally replicate the problem.

8. Yes, live wallpapers are all working now, however luminescence is apparently still not working. To be honest, it wasn't meant to be in there at all. I hate that live wallpaper and in my opinion, its just taking up space.

9. Once again, this is a beta, I'm still tweaking some thing, changing some code and trying to smooth things out even more.

Thanks for all of your patience, I try to work on this as much as I can so we can all have the performance we SHOULD have had when we bought it. lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] etichola:
If I were you,

1. Root the phone

2. Install Bionix 1.3 w/ stock kernel

3. Install Jac's kernel w/ voodoo lagfix

Who's Jack? He's been in the BOX and promotion junk foods in the US.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yea, it has very little bearing. You see, quadrant scores ARE good when you're comparing apples to oranges, but we all have the same phone here. Realistically, there's no magic potion that's going to make the phone run twice as fast.

You can get a 2500 quad score with this rom running the OC kernel and the ext2 lag fix. In actuality, the ext2 lagfix is writing data slower and less efficient than the voodoo lagfix (ext4). However, with voodoo, you'll only get roughly 1800-2000.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Awesome man :D

Ps to the people wanting a quadrant score, it really doesnt matter, I have a 1,200 score.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
the only thing Quadrant is good for is flexing your epeen, Voodoo is a better RFS fix.

I disagree... the potion is called Bionix w/ Voodoo ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Now that you mention it, I'll gladly trade the gradients for some extra battery life :D

This ROM is sweet, I'm keep it until 1.4 final is released.
[Vibrant Android Development] xfernand:
Has anyone tried it on the AT&T Captivate? Issues? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Won't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] QwertyAccess:
Does anyone know how to keep some of the stock apps when flashing some of these custom roms, like avatar, sims3, calculator, memo?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Some of the roms (like mine) automatically formats system, data, and cache and installs only what's in the .zip. I suggest before flashing you use titanium backup which is free from the market to back up your apps. As a secondary option, I will find some time to put together a flashable.zip file with those apps. However, calculator hasn't been removed.
[Vibrant Android Development] QwertyAccess:
Yeah I tried titanium backup on Avatar, Sims3, and Memo, for some reason it doesn't back them up properly. I also tried extracting the apk out of system/apps and pushing it back in there, which didn't do anything. Perhaps must be flashed somehow.
[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
Thanks for the rom, its perfect for me because unlike others I like most of the tw elements. I have had it running all day and problems yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
Avatar works fine for me

I dont have the avatar app on my phone anymore, I just go into the gallery folder and go into the movie folder. It plays fine on my phone.

Anyone know how to remove the lagfix for this rom if we ever need to?
[Vibrant Android Development] JessJames:
Hey guys... Ok so really looking for some help here.

Flashed this voodoo version of this (now removed), and hit the problem with my sd cards.

My rom would still boot ok but wouldn't mount either sd card.

Ok so formatting both sd cards brought them back, and from within the rom I can now reboot into clockwork, install market apps, everything is working.

Except... I have missing directories on my internal sd card. Whenever I try to flash a new rom or perform a nandroid restore, it fails because the /data directory isn't there.

Looking at the nandroid files, I'm missing /data, /data/data /cache, /system, at least.

I'm guessing that if I can restore these locations and successfully restore a nandroid backup, I'll be good, but I can't make it work.

Looking for any help here, since I don't know how to move forward.

Thanks in advance people.
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
-I saw that in the lag fix commands. Does it do it on the Internal memory as opposed to the external one?
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
yes it will be your internal sd
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmytran817:

[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
-thanks that solves that question. So if I have a partition on the external, it doesn't really matter? Just trying to wrap my head around these concepts.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
you don't have to do anything to the sd, just follow the op
[Vibrant Android Development] hurrpancakes:
You missed the mkdir step.

[Vibrant Android Development] Beefvvl:
Great work. I'm running the bionix1.0 w/ OC

I seem to be missing my stock Navigation app. I have google maps but I don't really like the navigation on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] lordjubblydave:
This sounds awesome.

Stupid question time.

Is this rom compatible with the international i9000 galaxy s?

Also is this a complete all in one pacakage? or do i have to flash it over a specific rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
I got you. Already followed the op and have it working great, but was just asking cause I had partitioned the external sd prior to this rom (for another rom) and was wondering now if the external partition mattered any. I got's the answer.

-thanks. I'm out.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
won't work, This is specific for the Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
To everyone that's helping out by answering questions in this thread, its much appreciated. I haven't had a lot of time to be in the forums today because I've been working, and in between work I've been modding the rom. haha. Anyway, THANKS!
[Vibrant Android Development] ithsburtondwight:
lol. alright, i'm gonna try that out :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
I forgot to mention I get no FCs with any program so far. I also don't have any lag in the settings menu. And I have another vibrant running v1.3 right next to it, 1.4 seems more responsive aside from the brightness issue. The pulldown bar looks fine.

Maybe an option to switch/flash back to the old battery icon?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Keep the boot and shutdown sounds! I love 'em! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I need one more thing from all beta testers.

All GPS fixes are currently incorporated. However, I currently have the default lbstestmode set to standalone instead of ms based. Some have reported faster locks with ms based. However, from what I can see, the locks are only 'slightly' faster with ms based, but the accuracy isn't as good as standalone. With standalone settings I get accuracy down to about 15-20 feet, with ms based I'm getting 25-30 feet consistently.

HOW TO TEST:

1. Open your dial pad

2. type *#*#1472365#*#*

3. you should now be in the lbstestmode settings

4. Select the 'operation mode' pull down and switch between the two

5. download a program such as 'gps fix free' from the market and test

6. to switch between the two quickly to test, simply hold the home button and you will have the lbstestmode app present after running it one time.

Please give me your feedback so I can choose between a default setting that work best for everyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I've noticed this with any of the GPS settings since the beginning (when GPS has worked). Must have something to do with the nature of how each works. *not testing 1.4, just my .02*
[Vibrant Android Development] pinoiryder:
i recevied call and phone call goes on force stop..

this is what it says:

The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201009281952_com_android_phone.log has been save. Use *#*#9900# to copy out log.

Anyone having this issues? thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Ms Based:

11 Satellites Available

7 Seconds (Average) for the "Location Fixed"

Standalone:

11 Satellites Available

4 Seconds (Average) for the "Location Fixed"

hmm.. seems that Standalone actually is better...
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Hello Sombionix, do have room for another beta tester?

I would love to help with the project. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
GPS test

Standalone:

12 visible sattelites

fixed for 5 seconds

MS Based:

12 visible sattelites

fixed for 4 secs.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
MSbased is only getting me one more satellite lock (8 as opposed to 7), standalone is getting me much better accuracy. I'd rather have accuracy over a 2 or 3 second faster lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I agree, I was going to say MS Based.. But after this test stick with the standalone :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Standalone it is then.

Also, I think I figured out the auto brightness problem. Currently, all of you beta testers are running JAC's kernel with colorfix. Apparently the colorfix kernel is tuned to only work properly with auto brightness turned off and brightness adjusted all the way to 100%. I just read through JAC's thread and seems like the auto brightness is a problem with colorfix. I'm going to test it right now to make sure, but if its the culprit, I'm not going to include the colorfix kernel. In my opinion, in its early stages, its only going to drain battery faster having to run brightness at 100%.
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterColdSoul:
How do you get the sims to work? I am running 1.3 Voodo and it doesn't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Yes, please don't include the colorfix :(
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I agree. I rather like my two day battery life :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I'm about to test without it in just a minute.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
I flashed the non color fix and it doesn't seem to help. Let me know what you find. In other news this shot of jamesons is for you!!! :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Thanks bro. That's actually my favorite kind of whiskey.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Give me a link to donate and ill buy you a bottle :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I need some information regarding the auto brightness setting.

So, is the problem that the screen is dimming too much? Or is there something I'm overlooking?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
When I go from a bright room to a darker room, my screens dims way too much. I can understand it dimming a bit but it gets too dark. I'd have to constantly adjust screen brightness manually while walking through my house in the evenings.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
If you feel inclined to do so, there is a donate link in my signature.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Ok. Well I think I fixed the problem. Would you possibly be willing to flash a new version and tell me if its fixed so I can confirm?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Absolutely. Actually I'm enjoying the heck out of being able to contribute to this excellent ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
cant sleep, so lets try to flash again..
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Sent you both links. Let me know about the auto brightness.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Ready to flash here to, but just in case its not your ROM. I'm going to flash back to stock kernel then back to jac Oc uv kernel without color fix to see if maybe the kernel is leaving something behind.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Sent you a link also.
[Vibrant Android Development] haiishq:
here i flash it
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Pfft, who could sleep at a time like this? Bionix 1.4 is almost upon us! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Stock kernel flash fixed everything. Now trying to go back to jac without cf

Well its happening again on the jac kernel without cf. Going to flash the link you sent
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I had that happen in the past. After you flashed the rom did you use titanium to restore everything? You may either need to restore nandroid or just reflash the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yeah, you don't want to restore any of the telephony apps or phone apps, I fixed them in 1.4 due to a few people receiving FCs.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
The Auto Brightness is working well, it responds well to light changes. I tried various light intensities walking around my house and it adjusts automatically fine.

Excellent work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I will also be testing this in about 10 minutes, I will then post my results :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I'm still downloading the ROM :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] all4degame:
Any luck with the auto-dimming problems guys? It was the only problem I was having with the rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
1 Beta Tester says it is working..

Me & The other have yet to try it, I will inform you within 5-7 minutes.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Flashing now, will know in a few.

EDIT: Oh, this auto brightness setting ROCKS! Walking from a well-lit room to a darker room results in the screen dimming just perfectly! I would leave it as is.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
I have just tested it, And it seems to be working & Working smooth +++
[Vibrant Android Development] all4degame:
I want the fix! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix The new auto-brightness setting is perfect! and the battery icon was changed to blue for the higher readings, blends perfectly in with the default wallpaper :D
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
I can confirm what the other 2 beta testers have already said. Working 100pct! Great work enjoy that whiskey. Remember to let the bottle sit without the top for 2 days to mello out... SO GOOD
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
you mean 3 :D
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
SWEET! Well, one fix down, a few more to go. And thank you sir for the whiskey, I will be buying the 12 year old Jameson. My favorite on the rocks.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
hehe 3 it is then =)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
If mine ever finishes downloading, I will add to the input, pretty sad when nandroid beats my download ..

Must have a slow path to mediafire tonight ....
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
INCREDIBLE WORK!! Very fast and stable with voodoo kernel, even the market is quick on the very first access and download. WOW...I love you man. :)

Quad Score: 1689
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
Nice choice, good luck with the rest of the fixes because honestly i dont know what they could be. This runs smooth as butter and will be using it until 1.4 non beta.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Believe me, the butter will continue, I still have some coding to do. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Let me know if you need more testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Where there are a few of them.. Like the Ass Wiper app that should come standard on any phone thats is over $500 XD JK

But there was the "Android" lockscreen problem where you can hut the menu icon & it will unlock. Etc
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
where is 1.4?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
It's in beta
[Vibrant Android Development] minogue:
I wsnt some 1.4 love as well:( feel left out........
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
gps is really a pain in the arse. I entered lbstest mode and ran the test, cleared my gps data and then tried again. I couldnt consistently tell the difference between the two. The first attempt after clearing the gps data took nearly 2 minutes to get a hit. After that using both settings i got an immediate lock. Just curious but which gps setting did you use in 1.2? When I was using that one I'd get a hit instantly and faster than on my droidx.
[Vibrant Android Development] haiishq:
was testing 1.4 till now and confirmed again brightness issue is really solved
[Vibrant Android Development] hourst2:
It's official: I am envious of the beta testers. 1.4 is sounding great!

Sent by my Android
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I'm using the GPS files from JI2 release which has been confirmed to be the best so far. The only thing I've changed aside from that is the GPS.cfg file by adding an additional port and also keeping default lbstestmode operation mode set to standalone. I lock onto to 10 sats within 3 seconds.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Is it just me or is boot-down faster with the bionix1_4_beta_OCUV_voodoo.zip ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] haiishq:
faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaster
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
DOPE. CANNOT wait to for this to drop...when payday comes, whiskey will pour.
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
I flashed the oc/ uv kernel without color fix and now works perfectly. I guess the battery icon is growing on me....

It runs so smooth that I'm keeping touchwiz and not installing adw launcher.
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Can I sign up for the auto-brightness fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Yeah, I think I'm gonna keep the TW too.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaine13x7:
I'm just so used to adw by now and like the setup I have. But man o man does tw run smooth on this
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Pretty sure I've discovered the problem with the menu button unlocking the screen with the stock android lock screen. Ugh....going to be a long annoying fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Yes I agree with you guys TW launcher works very well. Here is a screen shot of my home (1.4 Beta_OCUV_Voodoo.) :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Sorry, I've totally asked that same question before. Yeah this seems to be working pretty well. I could only get a lock on 5 satellites, then eventually 7. It's a little spotty but it works the same as 1.3 which isn't bad. Dude this rom is flying and crazy stable.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I gotta show it off!
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
Very nice..I like it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jesrazo:
This is what happens when everything goes right. Now if Sombionix can hook me up with a beta link and I'd have a bigger smile.
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
DooooooooooD! Where's u'r coitussseeeeeee......lol....j/k

This is really a badass Rom - Thanks Sombionix!
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Weoll, this is a surprise. With Bionix1.3 I was getting around 890 with all three Bionix ROMs. I just did a quadrant test to see what would happen and now I'm getting 1712 with the second 1.4 beta ROM.

Also, I went for a walk and tested the GPS. I'm consistently getting 11 satellite locks in under 5 seconds.

Dude, this ROM is so fast I feel like it's going to fly right out of my hand lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Dilinkuint:
Dude seriously this its the best rom ever on my vibrant.. Where is the donate link?
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
I can't wait to use this rom,hey bionix is there any way you can change the skin on swype?
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Not sure if you meant to do this or not, but the settings menus are still gradient in the voodo beta 2 whereas there are pure black in the 1st beta ROM. I hope you make them all pure black as I think that looks nice.
[Vibrant Android Development] instechgainza:
Watch!!!

This is the second reboot of Beta 2 released, actual time, actual gps lock, auto brightness is good.
