You are waiting till I flash v5 I know you are :p

Great work by the way...only wish friends with vibrant would let me flash their phone too
[Vibrant Android Development] guacamoly:
great rom but some questions...

I just recently replaced eugenes v9 (eclaire) with obsidian v5 and am loving it.

I have a few questions though...

1) when i hold the power button down and the get phone options menu ( power, reboot, recovery etc) the last option on the menu is "Download". What is that one used for?

2) the new Gingerbread keyboard has just been released for install. I'm not permitted to post links yet in the forums but if you google "gingerbread keyboard rooted froyo site:phandroid.com" you'll find the article that talks about it . can someone help me with instructions on how to install it. I tried going through the clockwork rom manager recovery screen and can't figure it out. I don't get the option to browser for install file when I'm in recovery.

thanks..

Audio Jack Not Work For Calls, JI6, Battery Dial, puzzle lock

1. Audio Jack Not Working For Calls

When I get a call or make a call, I cannot get the sound from the call on headphones plugged into the audio jack. Is this normal and is there a fix?

2. JI6

Will the JI6 modem work on this ROM? I thought I read that I did, but I can't find those posts again. I also vaguely remember someone saying they had problems with it, so I want to make sure before installing.

3. Battery Dial indicator

Does the graduated round battery dial work with beta 5? Be nice if it did.

4. Puzzle lock

Is there a puzzle lock add on somewhere?

Still testing, but so far, it is very speedy.
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
Good...

I'm looking forward the release of the new Obsidian V6. As a Christmas gift :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
I'm currently using the stock rom Som posted, but i used obsidian for more than a few days.

I never encountered the issue with the headphone jack, not once. I did successfully flash the JI6 modem onto it, got the files from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10700321/JI6_modem.zip

which is from TW's site.

I didn't encounter any problems with it. . . what were people reporting about it?

searched this thread pretty good, i know it was mentioned but i didnt see if it was resolved. my 3G is slow in certain areas, sometimes i can get 4 Mbps, sometimes im getting .69. very shotty, was this resolved buy flashing JI6 modem?

also when i recieve a voicemail, the notification doesnt show anymore =(

this is on 4.2
[Vibrant Android Development] doomfinger:
ok i love this rom but i am having a little problem. after i use my phone for an hour or so it will go into a VERY laggy state to where it is virtually unuseable at all. the only thing that fixes it that ive found is a reboot. I odined back to stock before i flashed the rom, then i let it sit for 15 mins and all that like the TW instructions said. i also flashed the jk6 modem and eugene's b1120 100 kernel. any ideas?

[Vibrant Android Development] gonzoguy24:
Hey guys I have a bit of an issue that I hope you can help me out with!

I own a Droid Incredible and I flash ROMS like it is my job. My girlfriend wanted the same for her Vibrant so I flashed Obsidian v5 since it seemed like the most popular.

Well she noticed the blacklist feature in there and as a joke she decided to add MY number. Well short story is that it worked...even AFTER she took me off the blacklist...Now whenever I call her I either go right to voicemail or I my call gets disconnected as soon as it rings...

Can anyone help me out? I may just have to flash her back to stock but I am hoping there is another fix since she is having such a better experience with Obsidian. Please let me know!

Thanks!

im having some issues with 3g and the market my data keeps going out not sure if its the rom or a t mo issue and also when im trying to download apps it just goes too 100% and then say download unsuccessful
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
obsidian

I had the same setup and the same problem. I gave up on that one and installed the Stock 2.2 Som released on the first of the month. The link was not too many postings back. It's not the same theme, but it is real smooth!:)

Edit: Flashable Stock JK6 is what it's called
[Vibrant Android Development] crazy_kat_matt:
just flashed JI6, lets see how this works
[Vibrant Android Development] boner2007:
This is bad ass. I haven't tried the Axura rom, but I'm really happy with this one. Thanks Ya'll, woo hoo!!
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
its cause they are waiting for me to flash v5 and then release v6 the day after...Its how its happened for me duriong every update...fine...ill do that now.. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
I've had this issue crop up across 3 different ROMs, so i wonder if it isn't something with the new(er) market?

Somewhere i read that if you delete the cache and whatnot for Market it might solve it. I've had mixed results so far. I've gotten the downloads, but i'm not sure it solved the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Awe man!

No V6 yet? :(

I am to flash happy to sit on one ROM this long LOL...

EDIT: Update for you all... I just read in the IRC... Those of you whom have donated will see V6 as soon as Som says go... Those of you who havent donated... Well, i have no idea... Probably a day or two later...

EDIT EDIT: by Viralblack » Tue Dec 07, 2010 6:58 am

Alright, so the deadline came and passed, but to everyones dismay santa didnt bring the new version... but that wasnt cause santa was sleeping. Be it known that santa was actually beating his elves and in the process has created the fastest, smoothest, and strongest baseline ever before created by TeamWhiskey. This new version will hallmark a complete UI overhaul that I think youll love.

With increased detail to speed and smoothness, this is just a taste of a few of the changes that are being created. Again, a half baked peek. This is slated so far, on paper, to be the biggest overhaul yet for the vibrant UI by teamwhiskey. I cant give you a specific day, but I can promise you this: Youll tingle the same way you did when you kissed your first love for the first time.
[Vibrant Android Development] synaesthetic:
I'm just the opposite... the pace at which TW has been releasing ROMs is very fast! I just want to grab something that works and stick with it till CM6.1 stable hits.

Some questions about Obsidian V5 Beta!

Does headset calling work?

Is battery life reduced or improved (or mostly the same as) over Bionix Final R1 with JAC XMOD OC/UV/Voodoo kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Headset calling doesnt work... Well... From what i have seen, i dont use it personally...

Battery life is about the same... I have always had good battery life on all of the TW releases... Some people have battery issues, some dont... It goes back to how you flashed (clean or dirty)... And using the right tools to monitor your system...
[Vibrant Android Development] synaesthetic:
Gah! I wanted to flash this, but headset calling is super important to me. =/

Guess I'm stuck on Eclair a while longer...
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Why not flash... And if the benefits of having 2.2 do not outweigh the negative of headset calling... Just flash back...
[Vibrant Android Development] mygti02:
ok so does anyone know whats up with bluetooth? When i turn it on, one of two things will happen.

1. I turn on bluetooth and the phone reboots, then i have to restart the phone again in order for it to work properly.

2. Bluetooth will turn on, connect to my device, then disconnect, then connect, then disconnect. I turn BT off, then turn it back on and it might work, or it will restart the phone as stated in #1.

I do get it working eventually, but its really annoying and starting to piss me off.

anyone else seen this issue, or know how to fix it? or is it a known issue and being worked on?

Tried searching but didnt see anything regarding this issue on this rom, but always a chance i missed it, so thanks for the input and sorry if i over looked.

So I flashed JL1 modem to v4.2 and noticed my download speeds actually dropped about 500kbs and phone seems slightly more laggy now, but gps has instant lock and data seems to not fluctuate as much. Is v6 gonna incorporate JL1 or JK6 or sticking with JK2
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Unfortunately those of us who don't have money to donate have to just wait patiently I wish that those who get the goods early would just enjoy the rom without being smartbutts and rubbing it in the face of others. It the developers discretion at who they choose to release their work early to but it seems that some people can't enjoy something good without being jerks to others. I see this more and more in the threads here on xda. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
sad to see this taking place. I have made donations and check TW site everyday hoping to find V6 posted. I guess I was under the impresson that TW was a cut above and would not engage in "in crowd" politics or any actions that Master has been accused of( not that they have, or he has. just speculating). I do find that TW roms are to me the most complete and best out there. This is not an indictment of them just one persons opinion which may or may not be correct. Probably fueled by the extreme disappointment by some getting the release and it appears that a large number of people who have made donations just waiting and hoping.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
My bad....

Okay its my bad... I was told those that donate get an early release... I was told wrong.... That said Son and Viral as well as the entire tw team do amazing work.... There was a release late last night to anyone on the irc... do I think its tw playing favorites? No way.... thinking anything else is doing the team wrong... these are hard working folks... if anyone else had been in irc.... they would have had it as well... as for people rubbing it in... it's all in good fun.... that's the plus of tw and the people on irc... its laid back and fun... if you can't handle a little poking fun.... then don't visit... if your fine with it... then enjoy the laid back good times... and be happy went v 6 drops :-)

I noticed the individual who made the statement about the elitism has the handle Mastertroll1337 - i wonder if that's telling or not. . .
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterTroll1337:
Viral said V6 was going to be Donator Beta Access. Now if they changed their mind and are planning on just doing a full public release right from the start - I don't know.

EDIT: Seems you might be right about the straight to the public statement.

Not elitism.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
Holy Crap, dude :eek: I can't (and won't) even begin to describe the image you just planted. I think I'm going to go drink some hot tea or something now.

So that's a shot at moonfire who has really helped a lot of people on this forum including myself you guys sound like spoiled brats ......with attitudes like this there will be no festivus for the rest of us if they choose not to give stuff to you then thats theyre choice coming here and crying about it won't get you anything but ignored further more a donation is not a statement of purchase its your willingness to help out the people who do this to get the best out of all of our phones if you don't agree with how they do things noone is making you stick around odin back to stock and see how happy you are I'm not crying about not getting v6 yet cause v5 is still a beast !! Team whisky all the way keep up the good work guys

V5 custom vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Just a question: If it has been released to those who go on IRC why has it not been released to the people who made donations or if it is going to be released straight to the public how come it still has not been done, and only a select few have it? Just trying to understand the principles involved here. I am glad to have donated as it is fine work but I guess I need to understand exactly what the section on TW forum that deals with Donators Prerelease etc. actually means, if anything. I guess you just donate in appreciation for their fine work(which I have) and if you are not part of the inner sanctum than you just wait like all the other people. Not saying whether its right or wrong just trying to get an understanding of how it works.l
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
The release to the IRC people was a final Alpha build. It was put out to test final code changes before sending out to a larger beta population, but did not include the final theme. The beta will be released to donators and include much more theming. Just be patient. TW has this under control.
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Thanks so much for the kind reply. I was not aware of the alpha status of the release.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] 2girls1cup:
Just a quick thanks to team whiskey. I have not been a vibrant user for long, but from every rom I have tried from jk2 to jk6, Obsidian has been the most reliable and stable and best artistically designed which I am fond of.
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
My Bluetooth works perfectly on V5 and I use it everyday. Sorry about your issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] MasterColdSoul:
As a hardcore TW user, and someone who donated I just wanted to post in here that I will no longer by using TW roms due to there deleting of posts when I defended a simple opinion in the donators section.

Bionix, your a great dude glad your a developer for the vibrant. I doubled my donation to you as I promised myself and in previous posts. I did this after only because you deserve it for the previous work regardless that I won't be using any of your newer roms. Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] Henchmin:
Ninja poured juices into a lake and called it flow yo
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
I don't understand when and how this scene became so political.....

So some users got a prerelease of v6 and those who donated weren't notified...so what? I'm still on v3 (yeah..i know...i said of flash v5 so then we would get v6 :p but I keep getting lazy...and then busy..and then lazy some more...) And v3 is super smooth and fast...i mean my phone is ten times better than stock or any other rom I've tried....isn't that enough?

I want v6 or v7 or any TW update that follows just as much as anyone...but I don't mind waiting...its all more exciting that way...i could do without the frequent updates and the titanium backups and restore every other day....don't get me wrong...i love the fast updates too...but each version is awesome anyway....and they are free....you don't pay to download them so chill!!

Granted....i haven't donated..(yet...after donating to eugene..cyanogen..titanium..cwm...root explorer...and more...plus darn xmas shopping...i have to recover...but I plan to donate to TW for their awesome work)..but even if you donate you shouldn't expect anything from it....that why its called a donation....NOT a purchase....you like what these guys are doing and say.."good work...heres some money.." The end....i think the mistake was the special donator status on TW forums which made people expect...and therefore demand special treatment..

Just sit back...chill...and enjoy the ride...let TW do all the driving and stop asking "Are we there yet"?
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
.

Perhaps the key words are "Granted I HAVEN'T DONATED" and "I PLAN to donate to TW for their awesome work" Perhaps after you have formulated your plan and made a donation or two or more to TW as others have you can be the authority on what was offered and what one can expect from the posts on TW concerning donation status and pre-release. Seems your expertise in donations etc extends outward but does not include TW at this point. Easy for you to say"Just sit back...chill...and enjoy the ride...let TW do all the driving and stop asking "Are we there yet"? What is that old saying? oh yes "put your money where your mouth is"
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
If you have donated, you have lifetime access to our alpha/beta section on our forums which is where Nero beta is currently posted.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
We appreciate your donation. I'd like to state for the record that although I did personally see this post you are referring to nor did I delete it, I'm certain the person who deleted it did so for a reason. If I had to take a stab, it was to prevent a flaming war or something else. Don't take it so personally. The reason we have our own forum is to have control and keep a zero tolerance.

But hey, you do whatever you feel is right..
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
Once again.....and I'll probably have to say this once more later. EVERYONE that has made a donation has full, lifetime access to our alpha/beta section on our forums. There is no politics going on here. The very limited and very uncompleted release of v6 made two days ago was given out around 4am where only a handful of people were actually still awake in our IRC. We simply wanted to test a couple things out. After the day of testing, we made so many drastic changes that we changed the rom name all together. The rom is STILL not complete which is why it is a beta rom. Unlike master, we do and will release our full rom when it is complete, polished and bug free. We do not and have never charged for our final product.

The reason we have an alpha beta section is because we don't want to release something full of bugs. We want to test them, find them, and fix them before we release to the general public. No one has held a gun to anyone's head and said 'DONATE NOW OR ELSE!'. Be happy we even release betas. To be honest, we could just as easily say screw it and hold on to the rom until its completely done, then you'd still be waiting regardless.

Donation: To present as a gift to a fund or cause; contribute.

Purchase: the acquisition of something for payment.

You guys donated. You gifted to TW. You did not purchase anything. You are not entitled to anything. You did not purchase access to their alpha/beta roms. TW is giving you access as a show of gratitude. They don't owe you anything.

You donate to show your appreciation for the rom they've developed thus far and to encourage TW to develop even better roms in the future.

sombionix: Don't let the haters bring you down.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
And on that note, to show our gratitude and to show this isn't some propaganda, I've posted the beta in the OP. Enjoy.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I think the main point you're missing is that it hasn't been released publicly. I think the last line of the Op states that when it is released publicly publicly Tw will also release the source code.

[Vibrant Android Development] offdutyninja808:
Not to be a turd seeing as I am fairly new, but read a little first. YES, if you go back you have to flash a 2.1 kernel or you will soft brick your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex530:
It won't soft brick your screens just gonna be rotated 90 degrees
[Vibrant Android Development] Dragoth12:
Reasonable question. I soft bricked my phone earlier today because I didn't ask/research it. In order for you to flash successfully you will need to flash a rom that has a kernel baked into it already. Grab any rom you want (that has a kernel bundled with it) as long as it is 2.1 and flash it over the top. Once you are booted, go ahead and use your nandroid to get you back the way you were.

Nandroid backups do not include a kernel, so you would be replacing your ROM with a 2.1 ROM and leaving a 2.2 kernel. Not a good combo.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
I <3 TW!!!! I wish my NANDROID would hurry up so I can flash this!!
[Vibrant Android Development] craig2000000:
Thanks for all the quick replies. I read all 52 pages of this thread and saw conflicting posts about what happens. Thanks dragoth12 for clearing it up, as I was hoping someone here had some first hand experience with this issues.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Apexsilverevo:
Just for my own clarification, I am stock with Ryanz lag fix.... Do I still have to undo it? It said I can just flash over it, but flash the lag undo or the rom?

Also, I just made a nandroid backup, should it be saved anywhere special so it doesn't get overwritten?

Will flashing this ROM erase all my media/contacts/apps?

Thanks for all the help!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] offdutyninja808:
The first time I went from 2.2 back to 2.1 I forgot to reflash a 2.1 kernel. When it rebooted it wouldn't boot past the vibrant boot up.

But hey, anything can happen. I have screwed myself plenty of times and reading these forums were my saving grace!
[Vibrant Android Development] pigs3littleones:
Factory reset resolved. So far, this one is not too bad. Won't save the Samsung hate for me but the phone is getting more useable with the 2.2 leaks.
