please add a method and a WARNING to apply the HW download lock update file.

I bricked my Vibrant during an attempt to revert to my 2.1 from this Obsidian 2.2 version and was not aware that my phone is HW download locked hence I am stuck now with an attempt to force my phone into download mode with a JIG connector that I need to build!
[Vibrant Android Development] geocepe:
thanks I will try this
[Vibrant Android Development] Spidy2150:
Ummm there are literally hundreds of threads that talk about HW unlocking the Vibrant, and if you read through this thread I bet you would find reference to one. If not the search button is very handy, HW unlocking your phone should be done before you even decide to mess around with custom ROMs and other things.

Another thing is if you are trying to revert back to 2.1 from 2.2, you had better install a 2.1 Kernel or else you will have to reflash using Odin as your phone will fail to boot. Don't blame the developers for what happened to you, there are disclaimers all over the place, flash at your own risk.

Lastly, I believe the SDK for android can reboot you into download mode, plug your phone in and as long as your computer recognizes the phone, you can send it into download mode via the proper command.

Obsidian v3 up
[Vibrant Android Development] Shane_pcs:
Does V3 have integrated voodoo? And if so, does the voodoo version support the larger nand vibrants or just the standard?
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
I'm checking it out now

Still flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
See OP.

2 versions. Stock, and Voodoo. Yes it supports your larger nand
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
V3!!! YEA!! can't wait to flash this once I get home!! WOOOOO!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, the rom that states 'stock kernel w/voodoo' has voodoo integrated. Its voodoo beta 5 and does support larger nand chips.
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
The only reason I stopped using Obsidian v2 is in order to write to internal sd card I had to switch USB settings to media mode. Can anyone who has installed v3 confirm whether this has been fixed. Thanks and thank you Bionix for your hard work
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
As stated in the OP, the mounting issues have been fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shane_pcs:
Stupendous!
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
I did see this but it wont allow me to save it. Does yours work? Have you been able to set a password and save it?

edit: Found it, has to be "eight letters or more", sooooo stupid I am.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
Is the hardware lock issue fixed and does Voodoo mean only lagfix, or lagfix with color?
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
LOL f*ck me, I just installed and set up v2. Oh well, I had no plans today anyways :P Thanks TW!
[Vibrant Android Development] nguyenka1:
How's battery life on this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
battery life is spot on. flash it, and try it out. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] timafey:
Pretty sure this has just been posted about 5min ago, probably not enough time to really tell....

SOM thanks a lot! Ive been using the original Bionix Final (the first one) and the phone runs awesome on it, I have the large nand chip so I never had a chance to try voodoo, but im going to plunge and flash this tonight! Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
Any word on when the Onyx variant of this is coming out?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Be out soon....possibly late tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blown 89:
Noob question:

I'm on V2....I assume I need to download V3 and reflash using Rom Manager which will wipe out all of my settings and everything. Is there a way to update this to V3 without losing everything and needing to rearrange all of my apps and settings all over again? If not is there a rom that does? Sorry for the dumb question, we all have to start somewhere I suppose
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
I have been nervously checking both the Team Whiskey and here for the past few days hoping this would drop.

THANKS SO MUCH TEAM WHISKEY!!!!

I wish my internet were faster so I could flash this sooner!
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Don't think it's your net, it's cuz everyone and their brother is downloading this right now lol.

I have hi speed cable internet and it's taking forever lol
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No, our updates will wipe your entire system. If you want to backup your apps, I suggest using titanium backup. However, you will lose all of your system settings as the system is wiped. Wiping the entire system creates a much cleaner install and will help prevent issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2012iawait:
someone please explain to me what the heck is voodo. please......... and whats the point of it
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
I'm Dling it at 95 kb/s right now, which is the fastest I've ever downloaded a rom before. Is that fast?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Its an ext4 lagfix and speeds up the phone pretty significantly. However, I suggest you read about voodoo before using it. It will auto install after being flashed, however, you MUST disable is before you flash anything else or you will softbrick your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2012iawait:
got it thanks.... about to flash v3 with stock kernal.
[Vibrant Android Development] yungballla6:
so whats the diffrence between obsidian and onyx is onyx like fusion? and obsidian just regular TW? thanx
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
Thanks for the response Sombionix. I read the OP the only reason I asked was because the OP for v2 also stated mounting issues were fixed but I still had issues with mounting USB unless in media mode. Thanks for confirmation.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Onyx is the version with LauncherPro instead of TWiz.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No worries, I thought they were fixed in v2 but they are fixed in v3. It was a problem with a vold file.
[Vibrant Android Development] rockyball19:
Flashing all day

i have been flashing different 2.2 roms all day....i will give you a view from a beginner android user.

Obisisdian V2- loved it...didnt have any fc's..i was dissappointed that it didnt have wifi calling, and the USB not mounting was a huge problem for me.

next was Onyx without touch wiz...i liked it also but the usb still didnt work

now im downloading obsidian 3...with the usb fix it should be perfect. they explained that wifi calling is not "up to par yet" im looking forward to flashing the one and keeping it (im kind of tired of having to enter my info on my phone over and over! lol)

[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
Voodoo also known as blackmagic or a lagfix for galaxy s devices that makes your device run like its on steroids... This needs to be researched on and needs to be familiarized with before even trying it to avoid headaches, biting of the nails or banging of the head on the wall due to a bricked phone caused by it. :-) here is what its for in detail.

Galaxy S hardware is different from previous generation’s Android phones.

To extend /data partition, the place where all your apps are installed and personal data are stored, Samsung use 2GB from the internal SD card.

There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but they use the proprietary RFS filesystem they build as a legacy FAT, adding journalisation and POSIX permission. Both are required to run safely Android.

Unfortunately, this filesystem tries too hard and don’t provide a consistent experience with many applications installed or a few days uptime.

And here comes Voodoo lagfix to the rescue

By replacing the faulty RFS filesystem with the Linux-standard Ext4 filesystem, Voodoo lagfix simply restores I/O performance and global user experience of the Galaxy S to what it should have been to begin with.

And the performance level is awesome !
[Vibrant Android Development] Sic87:
So does this mean I don't need to use Setcpu OR autokiller task manager?
[Vibrant Android Development] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
Thank you so much. You sir are the awesomest person alive.
[Vibrant Android Development] execudroid:
Helllpp please

Hi all, noob here. I installed Bionix v1 the other day and want to now install v2. However, whenever I try to put anything into the SD folder, I get an error 0x80070057. I'm trying to put the SD_Fix in there and it won't let me do that either. Can anyone help please?
[Vibrant Android Development] sader2202:
Brick any help please i did not disable voodoo and now every time after the Vibrant screen all i get is green screen then its just black after that. I know im a major super noob but please save the jokes for later and helppppp!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
Thanks again. I am really hoping Onyx will be ready by the time I get home tonight. I'm a big fan of your roms and am excited to give v3 a whirl.
[Vibrant Android Development] ciervo5389:
Finally, working mms...that was the only thing keeping me from these 2.2 builds....flashing now!
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Hi can anyone direct me to the Wifi Calling APK Page, i searched but i cant seem to find it. Thank You. And good job Sombionix, NICE Rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
I flashed the voodoo version, but I don't think it installed voodoo.Im only getting 933 in quadrent?
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
can you do voodoo plus oclf lag fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
NOOOOO! Do not even attempt this! You will be in a world of hurt. You can use OCLF with the rom that includes voodoo, but you MUST disable voodoo first.
[Vibrant Android Development] fileboy22:
I can't seem to find a link for onyx ROM can anyone link me please
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
Running Bionix v2 with voodoo here and my phone is running PERFECTLY. Not a single complaint... it's fassssst, smooth, no FCs, no lag, amazing battery life, etc. Having never flashed any Froyo ROM I'm REALLY tempted to try Obsidian V3.

So I'm praying there aren't any issues and battery life is up to scratch.

Guess I'll wait a little longer for the reports to start rolling in...

Great work Team Whiskey, you guys don't seem to rest.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
It definitely did not install. Did you hear a womans voice in the beginning saying your data partition was being converted to ext4? If not, it did not install.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
I just flashed v3 and I still have the mount issue. Computer is reading my internal storage as 13gb so that is correct, but my external which is 8gb is read as 2.2gb.

the phone is reading the storage as 7.40gb total space on my external but when plugged into the pc it only shows as 2.20gb as all 2.2 ROMs have shown.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
Thank you soooooooo much been waiting for this..

TW is great keep up the good work!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
My external memory card is messed up man I try to put anything on it and it says it can't go thru smh
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
thank you, i just read it working on the i9000 forum but i guess it's different. I will go ahead and try voodoo for the first time. your roms have always been fast and reliable thanks.

PS - I am at 21 hours and my battery after mid-heavy use with nav music for hours etc, is at 35% I can't believe it. Hope the battery life for v3 on voodoo will be as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
Oops my dumb ass haf an old voodoo folder on the sd wn the disable lagfix file,removed,rebooted,heard some sweet ladies voice.all good now 1426 quadrent,thanks a bunch,great rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] sj_martin:
Can i flash segmented battery mod on this? The same one i was using for bionix fusion 1.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sic87:
EDIT: Fixed, should have searched first :P
[Vibrant Android Development] rolf90:
click reinstall packages
[Vibrant Android Development] Sic87:
Yea thanks, sorry for being ultra noob and not searching first lol
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Just installed V3

Good things

- Mounting issue fix working confirmed

- Voodoo working. 1400 quadrant

- New boot animation is good

- Black notificaton bar

Bad things

- No more landscape mode in TW/Homescreen

- No colored icons on settings menu

- Only 4 buttons in TW dock (5 in V2)
[Vibrant Android Development] rockyball19:
voodoo disable

how do you disable voodoo on obisidain V3 before flashing another rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
one thing PLEASE TW, can you make the lowest setting volume a little softer? I feel like it's just too loud at the lowest volume setting. I'm speaking about he speakers. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
The fix that was put in place is the same fix that was posted on xda. Unfortunately its only a temp fix, but it is fixed. IT DOES fix the problem of transferring files to your internal sdcard which was present in previous builds. It also fixes adb push to /system. You need to remember we are working with leaked files, not EVERYTHING will be perfect at this point.
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
There is a disable voodoo. Zip not sure if it works with this though

Still flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
- landscape mode was removed because...well....I personally hate it. Its annoying.

- Colored icons were removed to match the theme. I don't like the colored icons.

- this was removed because I edited my own tw launcher instead of using the preconfigured one that every other rom is using. You CAN install the launcher with the landscape mode and 5 buttons into my rom and it will work just fine. Just uninstall the current touchwiz30launcher.apk and install the one you want.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
lol. Just manually adjust it in volume settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
no, it will remove all framework mods. Plus that framework is not compatible with 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
actually, I'm talking about it's lowest setting before it goes mute. I feel like it's a little too loud. I can't adjust it anymore than moving the dial but if it's not changeable, it's cool~ I'm trying out titanium for the first time but the restore process is a apain, i have to click install and okay for each app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr. Apocalypse:
About to flash V3 from Bionix Fusion...but will i have to do anything to activate the voodoo lagfix?? or can i enable the EXT2 lagfix w/ instructions from the team whiskey website??
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
so your saying the internal sd card is fixed but not the external correct? I agree the internal is working and the fix posted here will reverse which one being read correctly the internal or external but never both so far.

tnx for your work and time.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Correct, in a sense it reverses it. This was done because your internal storage at this point is MUCH more important than you external because we use it for flashing and storing 99% of our data. There will be a permanent fix in the future, but for now this will have to do. There are no roms that have a permanent fix for this yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Sombionix, Rock on! Just flashed obsidian. Works just as promised. Keep up the good work. I'm gonna donate to you soon. Not only are your roms great, but your support is as well. Seriously what more could we ask for?
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
Gotcha man, each time I read mount issue fixed I thought you meant both. I agree the internal being 13gb is more valuable to use at this point in game. That said.. I'm going to flash back and give v3 a good test run. Tnx again
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
Any changes/fixes to the final V3 from the Beta?

Running the Obsidian V3 stock with OCLF - Really nice work on this ROM!

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
I'd add the boot anim to the bad things, actually. The boot is significantly slower and I can only assume it's due to that. Plus it doesn't loop well, there's a pause ;) but the 1400 quadrant is great. I do wish OCLF would work with voodoo as well though, since the db writes are really slow ... pretty sure we could have 1600+ score if those were faster.
[Vibrant Android Development] flameinthefire:
agree!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Get the paid version!
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Try flashing Eugene's Stock JK2 through Odin. And don't play with things before reading the instructions ...
[Vibrant Android Development] volkl23:
I seem to be having an issue with downloading apps from the market. Everytime I try to install an app, it gives me the normal "Your application will be downloaded.." then nothing happens.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Market -> Clear data, then try again. Also make sure airplane's not on ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Som,

In car home and desk home, there is a setting to dim the screen really low. Is there any way to get the overall brightness of the screen to do this with all home screens and apps?

Sent from....your mom. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ciervo5389:
Is there a segmented battery mod for this? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] volkl23:
Thanks for the fast response! I tried what you suggested, but still doesn't install anything. I will try rebooting. Weird. This has never happened before.
[Vibrant Android Development] rolf90:
on all 2.2 roms i have never had mounting issues and or transferring files..i guess lucky me

overall tho GREAT ROM!!
[Vibrant Android Development] volkl23:
After clearing Market cache and rebooting, I still can't install any apps. Basically, when I click install, nothing happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] Intel_x:
Re flash

Try Reflahing the rom angain do a hard reset
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
Not sure if this will help but on v2 I had problems downloading on wifi I had to switch over to 3g to download sometimes then switch back I'm not sure why hope this helps

Ps v3 is awesome thanks guys

Still flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
That sucks. The v2.12 market is suuuuper buggy. If you can't fix it, try downgrading.
[Vibrant Android Development] tommycathh:
Thanks so much for your ROM V3 , downloading...
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I'm sorry...what.....?
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
Reboot the damn thing after you flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
Did you turn off automatic brightness adjustment?
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
did you see what the process was that fc'd? screencapture.... interesting! it'd be pretty ****ing nice if we finally got easy screen capture function like the jesusphones have..
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
the other day when I tried I think r5 I ended up taking a screenshot by long pressing a button but had no idea which one it was. I will have to give this a try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
turn auto brightness off, and swype back and forth a couple times, I dont know if its supposed to be like that but works for me and I like it cause I can accidently change brightness levels going to my notification bar any more, got to like double swip the top..
[Vibrant Android Development] Goose0121:
I believe auto-brightness is built into the new power widget
[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
It still does. You just have to disable auto brightness.
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
WoW, i just did this mod, its amazing. I love the fly-in effect when you press the application button, the wallpaper still there as a backdrop!! every fast and very nice!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Duntkno:
Hey is mobile ap on this?

Please don't hurt me ir someone already asked, I searched three times.
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
Dude, are a teacher or something? You are on the wrong board
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
yes, it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
Auto-brightness is disabled, still no cookie :(

Edit - it works, but kinda flaky.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
no issues here other than the long press back button issue... great job

Fix for calendar syncing

CalendarProvider.apk isn't included in this ROM. I'm attaching one I pulled from Eugene's froyo ROM. adb push this to /system/app/ and after waiting/rebooting/going to settings in calendar app you should be able to sync your calendar.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
you and me both. i got the acore fc a few times too. hasn't happened for awhile tho. you ever figure anything out on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] jlvs021:
I can't access the display menu, force closes everytime
[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
That's weird. It works fine here bro :-(

Edit: lol yah not as refined I agree.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
@sombionix, if you read this, and I doubt you will, lol, could you please put the date in the topic title of this thread? That way everyone knows when it was released and when you update the Rom in the future.

Man I cant wait to get my phone fixed now :D
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
I think there are experimental kernel in Eugenes R8 thread, use it at your own risk.... I never try it so I can't tell you, but i'm sure it will work with this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] SEALBoy:
About to flash V3, but have a few questions about the lag fix (never used one before).

So as I understand it you apply either Voodoo or OCLF. OCLF.apk is included with the non-Voodoo ROM, but you have to manually start it after flashing to get the lagfix. The Voodoo ROM includes the Voodoo lag fix from the getgo, but will need to be disabled to flash to another ROM. OCLF is an ext2 lagfix, but Voodoo is ext4.

Am I correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
I need some help, not sure what went wrong or is going on.

I had Axura v2.0 on my unit and wanted to put the v3 Obsidian. I read up on 'removing the bunk' because occasionly i would have some bad lag and i have flashed many different versions, so i wanted to start clean.

I went and used odin and 'checked fix partition' like Somb said to do and loaded normal samsung (default stock) but im having a problem.

After i rebooted, it goes into recovery and says the following:

E:Cant mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

copy default media content failed.

I dont think there was ever any lag fix so i dont think this is the problem, but how to i get around this. I keep booting into recovery. I will wait for instructions before proceeding (this is probaly nothing bad but i dont want to take a chance).
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Yes, but one more thing: You *might* want to disable Voodoo before enabling OCLF. Some people are saying they work together, others say you'll soft-brick.

Edit: Yea, definitely do not run them at the same time. Bad news!
[Vibrant Android Development] biggiep:
Did Som say that TouchWiz could be uninstalled? If so, wouldn't we get the "Onyx" rom just by uninstalling TW and installing Launcher Pro?
[Vibrant Android Development] SEALBoy:
What's the advantage of having both of them enabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
What are the advantages of having voodoo over OCLF and vice versa
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
I couldn't tell you the exact details but the I/O test in Quadrant is definitely faster with OCLF, especially the db writes. Voodoo will likely give you a higher Linpack score. I'm not sure if having both would give you the benefits of both (faster I/O and faster computation).
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
TouchWiz is more than just the launcher ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Can someone post the framework file for the black notification bar. Really nice. Thanks!
