BRAVO!

touchè.. mister

i was waiting for a man that want to start that argument

is nice to see system panel .. and a lot of thing.. and remain seeing them without actions..

so I saw that it run for 20 mins.. interval of 1 or 2 hours.. so I thinked was running in certain condition.. such as loading a drive navigator when it has a local map saved inside the sdcard.. but no.

is a variant of linux.. but is difficult to diag a real cause.. the start I think is to know inside the natire of O.S... so a swap generally is used in a linux unix distro no?
[Vibrant Android Development] GreggoryD502:
First off , I really like this rom. Kudos to team whiskey!! Im having a odd issue with it tho. When I turn my phone off at night and plug the charger up. After a few minutes it boots up to the screen in clockwork where it asks me to pick a lagfix. Any idead why thats happening?
[Vibrant Android Development] zenchili:
I'm not sure I know enough to even start the argument. Has any compared use of kswapd0 on stock kernel vs ulf? I'm running ulf and that process never goes to sleep or drop below 3%, even when system is supposedly doing nothing. Does this process run in stock kernel?

Does anyone else have problems with the Mic on the headphones when making a call? I can listen to my music but when I go to a call I can't hear nor talk through my headphones. This just started after I downloaded this 2. 2 leak

Whenever I reboot, I notice widgets disappearing...does anyone else have this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Wykedx:
ok i flashed the lag fix and rebooted but now my phone will not boot up and just shows lines of white text that seem to say i have an invalid arguement...any ideas??
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
I install all the rom extras. I test the wificalling and is perfect. Now skype is running. Good updates...thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
I think that you need to disable all the old lag fix. Just go to recovery mode and restore you backup and flash again.
[Vibrant Android Development] ahedgpe:
Using 4.2 and having the issue listed in first post when I plugged into usb and use as mass storage that it does not recognize the external sd card. Also, after unplugging from usb when I go into my files on the phn the pics do not show. I put my sd card in anther phn and they show up. Tried to download file from OP but says file has been removed. I thought this issue was resolved! Please advise

###EDIT: caused by "LCD DENSITY" being set below 182 on 2.2 roms
[Vibrant Android Development] princearic:
Is USB debugging enabled, and have you installed the drivers specifically for the phone? For some reason, this made a difference for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] ahedgpe:
Yes, debugging enabled and I do have the samsung drivers on the computer. Even did a nandroid restore and still not showing. Going back to a different rom (non-Obsidian) fixes the issue
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
there is a permissions issue causing some issues with some apps after the auto restore conversion process, when I log into tweetdeck hit quit, then open it back up I have to log back in again, the credentials arent being written, uninstalled and even deleted all instances of tweetdeck to fix the issue, it didnt work, im going to reconvert to jfs advanced and do a wipe instead of an auto backup/restore

so some advice converting between different filesystems: do a factory reset instead of auto backup/restore until this is fixed
[Vibrant Android Development] ahedgpe:
Anyone still have the mounting fix that they could post, the link on the main page is not working. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] pgallard:
you have to restore your phone with ODIN and flash the rom again
[Vibrant Android Development] lorendroll:
I noticed exactly the same issue. Re-flashed with stock kernel and now it sleeps perfect. Battery drain almost unnoticeable. Installed OCLF and now it's my favorite ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] princearic:
Was going to suggest the onyx rom or another in the meantime. Obsidian has quite a few little quirks depending on your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] zenchili:
When you reflashed did you first set the lagfix options to none and then flashed the stock kernel? Did you lose any data?
[Vibrant Android Development] khupp:
I'm sure this is a stupid question and yes I have been searching and reading. With that said, if I nandroid and flash Obsidian V4.2 with the stock kernel and want to get back (I'm stock with root and no lag fix) I should just be able to nandroid back, right.

What's with that half-assed comment about Wal-Mart customer service! I go there often, and the rep there named, Mavis, is always helpful, and professional. I've even noticed that sometimes she's tippling the same brand of Whiskey favored by Som! Still, she rocks and I've never told on her!

I flashed the stock version without ULF and now my comp wont recognize my external sd card. It dosent show up as a CD drive or anything, any ideas? I'm a flash machine and this is the first time I've ever seen this. As a matter of fact I originally flashed the ULF version but didnt like the battery drain and my comp recognized my external sd card fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
I had this issue. Are you running a loopback lagfix like overkill or oclf? Those tend to exacerbate it. My understanding is that this is a virtual memory swap process. It definitely goes down without a lagfix. I ended up rolling back to the stock kernel, and to be honest it's not bad at all.

have you try the unlock version to use on 3G?

search for this "78843-apks-unlocked-apps"
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
for anyone that catches this post and wants to try it.

Fixes:

-New flasher - removed redbend_ua - reduces flash by about 10 seconds, much more efficient

-Heavily modified init script

-cache_pressure reduced

-dirty_ratio reduced

-Kernel scheduler changed to 'deadline' on boot

-read_ahead kb changed from 1mb to 256kb - SUPER fast UI and reduces all lag

-Internal memory handler switched to strict on boot

-New busybox I compiled from busybox git - unoffical 1.18.0

-Sdcard mount fix that WORKS - both drives visable, mounting as removable -drives (this fix will ONLY work if you keep the stock 2.2 vibrant kernel, if you flash to a 2.2 kernel based off I900 source, you will lose your mounts again. I posted a fix for that as well in the main vibrant dev forum)

-framework edits

Note:

If you are currently using the universal lagfix kernel, and this does not flash properly for you, unfortunately, you will probably have to odin back to stock, then flash this. After that, will not have any more issues. We removed the ULF kernel for now until its more stable. We apologize if you have to odin back.

THIS IS BETA BUT INCREDIBLY STABLE, I LABELED IT BETA BECAUSE ITS NOT DONE.

[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Indeed, indeed...this much I know. Even so, sombo, by all accounts, seems to have a head on his shoulders. As opposed to some I've seen, mind you.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Thank you. I'm flashing it right now. Just to be sure, I used the disable lagfix option in CWM. We'll see how it goes.

EDIT: I have to flash back to stock using Odin. I'm stuck at the Vibrant screen. Thanks for the warning, though. I backed everything up just in case this happened.

[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
What does cache_pressure and dirty_ratio (hahaha) do for our phone? In addition, what is the difference between deadline and the usual "conservative" that's used?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
cache pressure – a term that refers to overworking the memory cache with too many or wasteful memory accesses. Basically putting pressure on the memory cache means you’re wasting time accessing more memory than you need to.

REF: http://systematicgaming.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/patterns-in-performance-cache-pressure/

Here is a link to learn a little about dirty_ratio too.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I see thank you!

Seems like reducing dirty_ratio is a double edged sword, at one end we get more free memory but at the other we have to write to the disk more often. (If I understood the article correctly).
[Vibrant Android Development] DrftJnkies:
After flashing the V5 Beta, it says I have no sim card in my phone. Anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
That's what it seems to me also, but the article also seemed to say that by writing more often, you are essentially just making the machine, whatever it is, seem faster. If it writes less often, the machine would still probably be the same speed, but just seem to take longer because you can't see what it's doing.

Please somebody jump in if they know better than us.

Also, after reverting back to stock and flashing V5, it seems plenty fast enough not to need a lagfix. Great work Som!

EDIT:

@DrftJnkies

Mine doesn't say no SIM card, but I didn't pay any attention to the fact that I don't have any signal... at all...
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Does this mean that both drives show correct partition sizes in Windows' Drive Mangement? Eugene said this would take kernel source to fix...?

Also, what are the framework edits? Can we get a couple of screenshots of the new rom?

Edit: Still no progress on call audio through the 3.5mm jack to a set of headphones or device using an aux cable with no mic?
[Vibrant Android Development] DrftJnkies:
Yea, mine has no signal at all also. So I tried going to settings, wireless and network, than to mobile network and it says insert sim card but already have one in. Im just going to revert to the previous version. Thanks for the hard work Som. Love your builds!
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
I just did what you said and it's telling me the same thing. I wonder if reflashing the modem will fix it. I'm gonna try that real quick.

EDIT: I just checked the baseband and it says "Unknown." So, the modem didn't make it to this ROM it seems. We need to flash it and I need to figure out where to get the JK2 modem because that was giving me AWESOME service.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
mine just sits at the vibrant screen and going back to recovery and installing packages wont bring up clock work mod only the system recovery. gotta odin :(

[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I'm all for publicly releasing Beta builds to work out all the kinks, but I think the Beta builds for TW ROMs should stay in the Beta section of the TW Forums.

Donators paid to have early access to them and we are more understanding about issues that may arise from using them as well.

People donated to support TW and all that they have done to make our phones even more amazing. One perk of donating was being able to have access to early release ROMs/kernels/etc. and become part of the Team by testing and reporting bugs.

By releasing it here, you are inviting people seeing V5 and going "0o0o0o!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLASH FLASH FLASH" before reading.
[Vibrant Android Development] hanbaoquan15:
New ROM!!! DROOL!!!#@!

PS: Any words on battery performance?
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
but people should also know that flashing is at there own risk ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I am more worried about the increase write operation done to the phone's flash based memory thus shortening out its life faster. But I don't understand how much of the life cycle reduce we are talking about. It can also be completely irrelevant, for example, let's say with stock we get enough for the phone to last 5 years, by using this tweak we get 1 year less on the phone's life but get increase in speed for four years. In this case, all I see is benefit and the harm is marginalized because no one keep a phone for more than four years. lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
That makes sense. I wish I knew more about it. lol. On a serious note, does anybody know where I can download a flashable JK2 modem? I checked the Vibrant Bible and Mirrors already.

EDIT: NVM. I took apart the Obsidian V3 zip and Odin'd over the modem from it. It's working just fine now.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Something else I just realized. If anybody wants MediaHub to work properly use one of the JK2-based ROMs out there with the stock kernel. The ULF kernels break the codec for some reason.
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I thought the ROM came with JK2 modem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
In the op it says the rom is very stable and just labled beta because its not finished.(probably waiting on stable ulf kernal to add in).and what do you mean people paid for early access to tw roms.people DONATED because they appreciate there support of said device and donations are a way to give back.asking them to withhold opensource material for money if just wrong and I believe tw has more integrity then that,not everyone is like kingxklick demanding funds for his work,I love tw because they dont do that.so shut up.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
After flashing and DrftJnkies got me to realize the phone wasn't recognizing a SIM card and didn't have service, I decided to do a little investigation and the phone said the baseband was unknown which led me to believe that it came without a modem.

That's when I decided to Odin over the JK2 modem from Obsidian V3 and that fixed the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] xanderdad:
I don't see anything in recovery about BLN. Has this feature been removed from the v5 beta kernal?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
That feature is only in the ULF Kernels. V5 as stated in the OP does not have that due to instability. So, no BLN as of yet. I want it too. You can most likely flash over the ULF kernel if you want, but from my experience with it, it drains the battery like no other. I'm staying without it for now and just gonna periodically check my phone.

im upset that the ULF kernel is removed in v5, im not flashing v5, 4.2 is great, havnt had any stability issues. removing ULF kernel is a regression

Also, it would be nice if team whiskey would create roms that dont require to use odin to get back to stock to upgrade. Odin is a POS, it would be nice if everything was CWM only

But I know enough to know that it takes an immense amount of work to bring these things to us. Those who expect perfection with the snap of their fingers are either ignorant and/or arrogant.

My words didn't come out as the way they should have. I know we didn't pay to have early access, but it was one perk of donating to such a wonderful dev team.

I also understand that this is stable, but people aren't reading about ULF kernel being removed among other little things. By having a limited public beta to donators, most issues can be ironed out. Also what issues that may be present can have fixes already in the pipeline for when the general public get ahold of it. Another thing, nowhere did I infer that final releases be withheld from public release.

No need to tell me to shut up as well. That just makes you look childish.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Perhaps. And if so I will apologize to those like you who bring a more level-headed, sensible approach to these forums.

Quite simply, I'm tired of hearing complaints based upon nothing more than a singular expectation of this person or that.

You should be okay to do that. For the sake of lessening gremlins, undo any lagfix you might have installed. Other than that you shouldn't have any problems.

Oh.. i want to say to you folks who flash on a regular basis (like me), think good thoughts. Put some music on, and get lost in your happy place.

Reason:

Science has already proven that just the very observation of transference of energy changes the outcome of said energy from the observer. Our attitudes really affect the flashing. Don't forget how good you feel, right after getting over a real HORRIBLE Slurpee brain freeze.

Also, the Android keyboard still doesn't VIBRATE, even if I have vibration turned on in the settings. And can't delete pre-set bookmarks in the stock browser.

Flashing a new rom always makes me happy! Maybe that's why v4.2 has worked so well for me. I think i'll stick with it for awhile.
