History is working fine on my phone.....
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Just curious....are you trying to download IMMEDIATELY after you sign in and your phone is syncing? If so, wait until your phone syncs. Believe me, the market is working fine dude. I've downloaded a butt ton of apps just fine....with 3g.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I keep a copy of the Eris Market fix lying around, if I have market issues, I install it , and run it, and the market works again, not sure what it is really doing , but saves me from re-flashing....
[Vibrant Android Development] Texag2010:
To Sombionix - logcat

Could you please post in the OP how to create a logcat? I have no issues at the moment, but did before and though people say to post a logcat, I don't even know how to get started. I think this would solve the problem of people not posting one I believe

Much appreciated!!
[Vibrant Android Development] KenpoAP:
One always has something to learn! You start somewhere do you? Sorry for hurting your feelingd dude. Hey, thanks anyway! At least I'm not having any of the issues here! Everythings working fine, gps lock with 7/11 in less than 5sec. I'm a fast learner and read a lot. Hey thsnks sombionix for making it doable for us newbies! Looking forward to a bionix froyo! Btw, i'm miss the bionix wallpaper!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jacosta:
Thanks for this awesome rom and all the excellent work you guys put into it. 1.8 is running flawless on my phone no complaints here. Thanks again!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Is it considered best practice (i.e. safest) to flash back to stock before upgrading? I'm on 1.7 (w/o voodoo) and would like to try out 1.8 w/ voodoo. Sorry, I'm still learning about flashing roms. And thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Yeah man, I don't know what the deal is. I went back to stock and then back to 1.8 voodoo and everything is lovely again. Don't let retards like me get to you :D you do amazing work
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Once you have disabled Voodoo, and installed another Kernel, there will be no Voodoo on it, you would have to apply it again. If you were to want to return the phone, you would disable it, and flash the phone back to stock ROM and Kernel. There would be no traces of Voodoo if this is done.
[Vibrant Android Development] jmerchant:
Yup GPS status locks pretty quick now, the weather channel has my location and weather information...but no icons on Fancy widget...Just the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
@sombionix Another awesome ROM, dude. Smooth as a baby's butt and I don't see any bugs at all. Ima buy you some more whiskey on payday :D
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Not sure why, but there was another VideoPlayer.apk posted that was supposed to be from 1.7.

However when I extract mine from system.img its nearly half the size and it appears to work allowing audio to come out of the rear speaker.

Here you go.

replace the VideoPlayer.apk in your /system/app folder
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Thanks dude! Glad you like it. Did you see Eugenes post about 5 pages or so back....? What was that all about?
[Vibrant Android Development] Qverse:
well Oh righty then

Thanks

reflash time lol...

as far as disabling voodoo before the flash. I use a file called "disable_voodoo.zip" with I have in my sdcard and flash it. That has been working to disable voodoo pain free! I can't remember who I got it from but I Reboot into Recovery with ROM Manager and flash that first. Then reboot and voodoo will start to disable. Then go back into recovery with ROM Mananger and flash Bionix rom. You do have to delete the disable-lagfix file in voodoo folder to activate again after you have flash the ROM. But is works.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moat:
Wanted to post and say thanks for the ROM, this is the first one I've ever done on the Vibrant. I used Bionix 1.8 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel btw. Everything seems to be working great for me.

On the history thing, my history is working for calls but not text messages.

One other thing, I flashed from the OTA tmobile update, and before I did I used titanium backup. Now when I look at restore it shows I have YouTube 1.5.20 and my backuped version is 1.6.20.
[Vibrant Android Development] jmerchant:
Using Beautiful widgets works...and even selected using network locations, but fancy didn't show any icons...

i guess i'll use beautiful for now...
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hey, so unless Master complete re-made the stock framework look after I uploaded the original version, it should be credited to both him and myself, I posted the original version here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8573140&postcount=7076

and posted a 4shared link here too:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8573272&postcount=7082

Master then added the stock look settings.apk to the file since I didn't have a complete list of modified files that needed to be replaced.

Anyway, if he did re-make it completely, then no worries.

Hopefully 1.8 is even better than 1.7, I'm still in the process of re-building my custom update.zip from your new 1.8 base, hope to test it out soon.

thanks again for all your great work, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Text message history probably isn't working because of the stock 2.1 mms app I included. The twiz mms integrates itself into the frameworks of the rom, which I'm assuming includes the history.

I do have an older version of YouTube in my rom, I forgot to replace it. You can upgrade to any version of YouTube you'd like, it will work just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Spiffywerks:
I noticed too, the newest version of youtube app isn't included, the one with the HD Button.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
No idea, I'm locking on to 8 birds in around 5 seconds and my compass is accurate.
[Vibrant Android Development] dancegrenade:
ugh..what happened to YouTube on 1.4?

[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Thanks for the update Sombie. Just finished flashing and restoring a bunch of my apps. As always, very nice work.

The puzzle lock screen bug is still there.

1. Make a call

2. Go to the home screen

3. Lock the screen or let it timeout

4. Turn the phone back on

5. No lock screen, just a black wallpaper screen

At this point, I hold the power button and turn on flight mode to get the lock screen back. It's not a huge issue for me since I switched to using the epic unlock screen, but thought I'd test this out since I did notice it on 1.7.
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
@sombionix: Thanks again for the wonderful job you guys pulled with it.

Sent you some greens to keep the whiskey flowing :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Not a big deal, but I kept having Rom Manager tell me there is an update as well so did App Brain. When I visited the market there was no mention of an update. I noticed that Rom Manager was in the /system/app folder.

I removed it from /system/app and reinstalled it and now there is no mention of an update anymore. ;) Not sure if it was getting stuck or simply couldn't update what wasn't really an update.
[Vibrant Android Development] djquick:
Testing this now as I was going through flash withdrawls again:p. Som, you're the TRUTH!!!!

Will post results and bugs shortly without a logcat just to piss viral off:D:p j/k.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
I got the update message as well. I clicked "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and selected "Galaxy S Vibrant". It downloaded and installed the update to version 2.5.1.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
That's strange. Unfortunately, I think that any and all issues are being caused by the multiple lock screen mod.

EDIT: Also, I believe this is only a glitch with the puzzle unlock screen, all the others work fine I believe.
[Vibrant Android Development] daleandla:
Flash over latest Eugenes?

Soooo....I have only flashed 2 roms on my vibrant. I'm a windows mobile flash-a-holic old school. So, my question is, can I flash this sweet new version right over this Eugene? I dont have any voodoo or lag fixes. Any help is appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] rjscott2005:
Do you know if the Titanium Backup option 'Market Doctor' accomplishes the same fix? -thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Are you asking if you can flash this over Eugenes rom or are you asking Eugene? lol. If you are asking if you can flash this over Eugenes rom, the answer is yes. However, if you have the voodoo lag fix enabled, you MUST disable it before flashing. If you don't have it enabled, flash away! You'll be just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Yea, the strange thing is that it only affects the puzzle lock screen. All the other ones work just fine. This was the case in 1.7 as well. So it must be something specific to the puzzle lock. I submitted the locats for 1.7. I can submit them for 1.8 if that will help.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Now that's just mean.

I like it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Yeah I got that too, but I kept getting told in the market and appbrain that there was an update to Rom Manager, yet I couldn't update it. Freaky weird.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Another general FYI,

The vanilla android lockscreen bug is still present in 1.8, so here's a version of framework-res.apk that fixes it.

BUGFIXED

Cheers everyone, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
I have been using Bionix ROMs since 1.3 and the ONLY problem I've had with any of these ROMs is rapid battery drain on Bionix 1.6. However, that problem was quickly identified and solved. I must be doing something right so here's my short tutorial.

NOTE: This tutorial assumes you have Titanium Backup installed

1. Use Titanium Backup to backup all apps

2. Disable Voodoo (can't stress this enough)

3. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make a nandroid backup

4. Flash the Bionix ROM of your choice

5. Reboot

6. Let the phone sit for 5 minutes

7. Reboot

8. Sign into your Google account

9. Install Titanium Backup

10. Use Titanium Backup to restore all of your apps and app data (I don't use titanium Backup to save or restore system data)

11. Calibrate the battery (tutorial)

12. Enjoy

This method yields a very nice system which is smooth and fast. I usually lock onto 7 GPS satellites within 5 seconds and my compass is accurate. I can't vouch for anything voice-related as I don't have a voice plan on my phone. YMMV
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Would you mind sending me the logcat files for the puzzle-lock bug in 1.8?

Thanks, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
Still getting the Pandora Freeze in 1.8 w/ JAC's OC/UV

setcpu settings min: 200 Max: 1200
[Vibrant Android Development] daleandla:
LOL! You answered my question.. Freakin sweet! THanks for such a quick response! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] 2sh0rt:
So i totally loooooveeeee this version but im having a small problem... i cannot get my wallpaper/background to change. i've tried everything. in ADW i can restart and it will change my background but but touchwhiz no matter what i do it will not change its staying on the jack skelly and even the lock screen will not change for ADW or TWLauncher... any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Never tried it to fix that problem so don't know ....
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Try running fix permissions from Rom Manager ...
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
I really love this ROM. It is fast, and smooooooth. I tested the GPS (not really into trying to change modes, just going through maps and turning everything on) it got me within 3 feet of where I actually was. The bug I had with the network not being "initialized" after a reboot until I turned on/off wifi is gone.

I haven't seen an issue with the puzzle lockscreen yet, but I do miss the different bubbles in SMS/MMS. I know I can search and find the APK; flash/push it...just not too worried about it...yet.

You guys freaking rock!

Thanks, and hopefully this isn't considered "clutter". LOL

BTW, had charged my battery all the way up during flashing, did the GPS lock, sent some SMS, checked email, browsed facebook, checked my bank account, installed 6-7 apps and configured them. Total Time 1 hour, battery says 97%...freaking awseome. Thanks Great Dudes!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Do i just instail the apk and thats it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Man you guys are freaking great!! these ROMs are fantastic, outstanding work.

I'm running the 1.8 JACS OC/UV kernel and after having all set up and testing it out, it's very quick and smooth. The only thing I've encountered is the volume issue with the movies which is an easy fix and FCs with the Blue Sea lwp which I deleted since I never use it.

Of course as curiosity would have it, I've been reading up on the voodoo kernel and how it handles the data much faster and more efficiently I"m tempted to give it a try. Is it that much faster than the OC/UV alone to where it's quite noticeable or are there major differences just with certain types of apps, or there is only a very skight difference at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Just know that you lose MMS capabilities with the TW Messaging app.

s0niqu3:.

Thanks for the update!

You need to push it to /system/framework and then reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Sorry, I kind of forget that not everyone is used to replacing just single framework files over-and-over, lol.

Anyway, don't do an actual "install" but instead, do either an adb push to /system/framework or use root explorer or something similar to copy the file to /system/framework, then reboot into clockwork recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik-cache.

If you have voodoo enabled, then you need to wipe dalvik cache manually before you reboot, so from an adb shell/terminal do:

su

cd data

rm -r dalvik-cache

Cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
!! No Battery Stats Reset?! :p

Quick question though, do you actually let it sit for 5 minutes in recovery after flashing? Step 4 to 5? or do you reboot the phone, than let it set for 5 minutes?
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
No glaring issues on my end without wiping either cache.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jacosta:
In order to flash JI6 do I have to disable voodoo? Thanks in advanve
[Vibrant Android Development] cervantesjc:
I have problems after flashing 1.8 from 1.7, my 3g stops working, it goes to edge and some times there is no connection at all, I have to use wifi to post this.
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Quick question, in C:GEO its telling me that my compass needs to be calibrated ... I thought this issue was resolved with JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
As the previous versions...just awesome

Just reporting in that 1.8 is awesome and Team Whiskey has some amazing talent and dedication.

Greatly appreciated it all. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] DarkAgent:
Two things about the new 1.8:

1) Is the Android keyboard purposely back to stock skin, or did you just forget to skin it like you did in 1.7?

2) Is it possible to get the 1.7 wallpaper (I don't particularly like the Halloween wallpaper in 1.8)?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Yeah, wiping the caches might not always be needed, its just a habit of mine whenever I replace a framework file, or mod of any kind.

I used to run into all kinds of FC errors when rebooting without clearing my caches, so it just stuck with me. I'd rather have a longer reboot while it rebuilds dalvik-cache than potentially reboot into FC errors, only to need to clear caches afterwards anyway.

Cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] designgears:
Are you just a jerk to everyone? Right?

Guess I will go rip apart your rom and laugh at you now. Only fair, right? Right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
*groan*

Can we just put up a double-sized font sticky that says "Don't ****ing flash anything if you have voodoo enabled!"?
[Vibrant Android Development] ebullient:
There's more under the hood there for GPS and it's possible that Sombionix made other changes. Those are just the ones that most GPS fixes mention.

I was talking about jmerchant's issue and location settings specific to his weather widget. Geolocation simply means that it uses whatever location your GPS/wireless networks say you're at.

You can generally just flash on top of previous ROMs without any trouble, especially since you're not using Voodoo. If you get gremlins, then flash to stock and to current ROM. Note you'll lose settings and apps and such, so use backups and/or Titanium Backup.

edit: derailment, moved to pm
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
If you don't know the answer to this, you shouldn't be using Voodoo.

But, since you asked: YOU MUST DISABLE VOODOO BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING, EVER. EVEN MAKING A NANDROID BACKUP MEANS YOU MUST HAVE VOODOO DISABLED!
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Oops, fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
I think he means that he reboots after install , and lets it sit, to let the phone set itself up and get everything running with the data check and sdcard checks, reboots signs into goolge, let it sit again to sync everything.
[Vibrant Android Development] JD76:
Oops.. I waited 15 mins after installing Bionix 1.8 Advanced but then started a Titanium restore before rebooting.. after its done installing the apps, I will reboot... Am I in for a world of hurt? I got too excited...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Thing is, you don't even have to read the entire thread, I wouldn't expect anyone to unless they have been following Bionix from the get go. But for the love of god, read the OP in it's entirety, it will answer 90%, if not all, of your questions! The other 10% can almost always be answered by using Search!

Get's annoying seeing the same questions over and over and over that have been answered over and over and over.....
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
Yeah, sorry about that.. fixed :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Probably not, but if you are experiencing weird issues, you may want to re-flash. If you re-boot after installing your apps, it will likely be alright.
[Vibrant Android Development] dungtran88:
I'm a complete noob so don't laugh at me. I want wipe everything on the phone to when i first bought it and then flash Bionix 1.8 so that i don't have any junk files on the phone and prevent any problem from occurring. How do I go about doing that? is there anyone kind enough to write some instructions on how to do that? Thank You.
[Vibrant Android Development] ardchoille:
All Bionix ROMs automatically wipe, you don't need to worry about wiping. But, the SD cards aren't touched.
[Vibrant Android Development] domnjulz:
Hey guys I did a search and could not find anyone with the same problem, Flashed 1.8 stock, did the video player fix and now my keyboard wont respond. It pulls up with the new skin but wont type any letters. Any Ideas? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] atlaswingpasaway:
I installed 1.8 JAC and followed instructions to the last letter and it works fantastic so far. I recently changed my phone because i bricked my last vibrant. My new one can access recovery with keys.

Battery life is good and OC is fully handled by the cpu. No crashes so far. 5hours continuous music playing with 3g on, but battery is still at 68%. Its not yet recalibrated either!

Will be recalibrating as soon as i deplete this current charge.

Thanks a lot TeamWhiskey
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
You can ODIN back to JFD stock with re-partition and correct PIT file - it will wipe the phone clean.

Then you will have to root it back, install Clockworkmod Recovery, and flash Bionix ROM.

As always, take it with a grain of salt, if you brick your phone, it is entirely your fault and none others.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
I understand that most of have been following this thread from the start and I myself have too. Therefore, it's best to ignore the obvious questions that are posted and can be answered through a simple search rather than blowing up on those noobs. If I can help with a nice response then I will, if not I just move on so they get the hint to research it themselves.

SO PLEASE BE PAITIENT AND RESPOND NICELY OR DON'T REPOND!!
[Vibrant Android Development] krook6023:
A massive clean up of this thread is underway...it is a lot of work...keep this thread on topic so that no further action must be taken against members that continue to post "junk posts" after they have been warned.

I've just flashed 1.8 with Voodoo and all went well. I have a question about Voodoo (after having read through this thread, the Installation Guide, and Voodoo RFS):
