How do you like the jfs advanced? I'm thinking of going with that because I like to have the while thing ex.4.

Sent using obsidian v4.2 froyo
[Vibrant Android Development] Geekazoid:
Unfortunately I was one of the lucky ones that got their data wiped. My Vibrant was one that could not get into recovery when it was stock.

I did the one click root, then used CWM to boot into recovery and install the Rom w/ universal. I used the PhotoRec to recover files and all seems well. I think I may flash back to stock and then back to 4.2 just to be sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know why, but every single time I have tried to set it up, it has not worked. I get the first blue screen, but when I press "next," it does nothing. I don't know, but maybe it's because I don't have a data plan, and only use wifi.

Edit: I know I got the notifications just fine when I was on stock JFD.

The real external sd should be mounted on /sdcard/externalsd/
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Screwy stuff. I ended up rebooting Windows and now all is well. Who would have thought? :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] Samcrow:
I use the YouMail app. I like it way better than the T-Mobile visual voicemail app. Try downloading that one and see if your notifications show up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
It's absolutely awesome. I did the JFS Overkill at first, but like the name states... it's overkill. I personally think JFS > EXT4, but to each his own.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I looked up and confirmed that I can't use visual voicemail due to not having a data plan. Therefore, I cannot use it to get notifications for my tmobile voicemail. So, YouMail might be an option. I downloaded it, but don't know if I want to try to use that or just use my google voice to grab my voicemails. I'll play around with it later. Thanks for the tip though.
[Vibrant Android Development] kenri:
Thanks for the release!!!

It did wipe my internal drive but I'm using the photorec atm to restore all of my files.

Can't wait to have everything up and running!
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
Lots of memory, I save much just in case. I like to be safe.

One question, how do I uninstall Titanium Backup, Uninstall button is gray out.

Great ROM BTW
[Vibrant Android Development] borikua954:
Jus have a quick question is there any way to get launcher pro to work with this rom? Also thanks you guys did a great job with this rom I flashed today from v3 no prob no wipes n everything works so far.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Samcrow:
Use rootexplorer and go to the data/app folder and delete titanium backup
[Vibrant Android Development] Samcrow:
If you don't like touchwiz and prefer Launcher Pro then you should flash Onyx 4.2 which is the touchwiz free version and the main launcher is Launcher Pro.
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
THIS ROM IS AMAZING! WOW! only issue for me is that non of my function buttons on my 3.5 stereo headphones dont work like, pause, skip etc. Volume works :) I believe this is partly due to the phone answering wired headset issue, I left a comment on the TW (always think its Touch Wiz) "issues" page.

Oh and I thought maybe I could fix this with "fix_permissions" but it didnt and it put my phone in constant "flight mode", I could not turn it off when I did it would turn itself on again, finally I had to reflash 4.2. All is well. So be careful with fix permissions.
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
How exactly is it overkill? I would think that, when it comes to roms, faster is always better. I'm about to flash the ULF kernel, so just curious....
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Hows JFS advanced? I'm using JFS overkill, and I was just wondering if you noticed any improvements.. Batt life, speed ect.

I need help I am having internal storage problems it keeps telling me that I have no available storage space even after applying the zip file to fix the problem. My application storage says 0.00mb I cant download any apps from the market
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Why oh why are the download speeds on all the obsidians I have flashed so low? I have a mytouch 3G yes old, slow, clunky, but it gets 4-5mbps consistently why my vibrant on Obsidian has been getting 1-2.5mbps max downloads

Also V3 has been very very buggy for me. Outside the slow download speeds, all the Bionix 2.1 roms have been mostly bug free for me, but the 2.2 has frozen on me at least once everyother day (first time this has happened ever). Hope V4 is much better
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
Awesome thank you, I knew it was to fast to not be!
[Vibrant Android Development] jmartiuk:
In regards the the launcher pro question i pushed my to system/app if that doesnt work try copying it to that area and installing from there i feel launcher pro is a must for this rom. Great ROM nonetheless!
[Vibrant Android Development] christpuncher:
I'm getting 'error in server response' when trying to send mms again. This didn't happen on v3. Can anyone help a semi noob find the messaging apk from v3 and how to install?
[Vibrant Android Development] kenri:
Noob question here. After using photorec I get all the files in recup_dir.1, recup_dir.2 ... all the way to recup_dir.10

Is that right? I did not see some of the .zip files that I had and everything inside those folders is pretty messy.

Am I just supposed to drag them back into the internal sd card?

Thanks in advance!!

lagfix prior to TB restore or after - does it make a difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] theoden144:
Bricked?

I'm relatively new (new but wouldn't consider myself a noob) to flashing ROMs, I've been doing it for about a month and a half. I flashed Obsidian 4.2 today and got the internal SD card wipe, I tried ODIN back to JFD, but ODIN was stuck on zImage for roughly an hour, when I pulled the plug to see if it froze. I thought it was bricked, but then tried to go into download mode again, I was able to and did ODIN and it is stuck on zImage again.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced!

EDIT: When I hover over the message box in ODIN I get a tool-tip saying Failure Notice. I'm using ODIN 1.7

[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
What version of odin are you using? I used to have similar problems using an older version of odin. The newest version is 1.7.
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
I can't see my external SD when connected to pc I can see phones SD with no problems, do I need to log to confirm this?
[Vibrant Android Development] theoden144:
1.7. I forgot to mention that in my first post.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
hmmmm...one time I was unable to flash using 1.7 so I used the older version which always locked up the phone and required me to load the triangle/computer screen. That one time I had to use the older version of odin to flash back. It's worth a shot. Additionally have you closed odin and restarted it? Sometimes that does the trick for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex530:
Getting no data whatsoever. Any one have a solution?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Agreed great rom, but its a battery killer. I hope someone could come up with something that could prevent battery from draining so fast. This rom is still awesome!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
After flashing the Transparent Touchwiz Launcher from the Downloads page, how do you get rid of it if you don't like it
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
thank the gods someone else has this issue...not that i'm happy that you and i both are having this issue, but i was starting to go crazy here...

i thought it was an issue with the kernel, so i odin'd back to stock and it was still happening...i can get the phone to switch to edge only if i set it to GSM only, but absolutely no 3G, or any data connection for that matter, if i leave it on auto...whats going on?
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
just extract the twlauncher30.apk from the 4.2 rom and push it with either adb or root explorer to /system/app...should do the trick...
[Vibrant Android Development] JoePR31:
Today, it took me 4 tries before I finally got Odin to sucessfully get through the entire process. The first time it froze and left a red screen on my phone, the second time a blue screen, and the third time a gray screen. Went all the way through on the 4th, so my advice is make sure that you have everything set up correctly ahead of time, and then every time it fails unplug the phone and start over. If everything is set up right...and your copy of Odin is good, eventually it'll work.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
Thanks, but how you extract the twlauncher.
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
I was actually going to say ive experienced better battery life, I have only been running it for 8 hours or so though. Havent reconditioned.
[Vibrant Android Development] CrashHD:
I flashed the stock ish theme but I want to go back to what comes with the rom, how can I go back?
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Keep us posted. Thanks for clarification!
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
using root explorer from the phone, or on your computer...extract the twlauncher30.apk from the file...it will be in /system/app folder...then push is using adb or by using root explorer to /system/app on the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex530:
Hmmm...Could this rom injured our 3g radios at any moment?
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
Which stockish theme? I have a few peeps that I want to put this on their phone, but they dont like the black theme.. Link it?

[Vibrant Android Development] beowolf:
Where can I find the kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
I'm sorry, but could you post what I should put into the command prompt to push it to the phone? And does the .apk have to be on the phone?
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
if you're only experiencing this in maps, clear the app data.

if its global, try flashing the JI6 radio from the teamwhiskey page.
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
easiest way:

-download the file to your computer. extract the .apk from it to your C:\ drive.

-open command prompt (i'm assuming you've used adb before)

-enter the following commands:

adb push C:\twlauncher30.apk /system/app

adb reboot

-ONLY do the reboot if it reads success after pushing the apk.
[Vibrant Android Development] ilaf0106:
What does it mean in english lol like comparing to vodoo n oclf sorry not well knowledge of programing
[Vibrant Android Development] spycl3r:
Try this:

1. Bring up the dialer and enter "*#2263#". This should bring you into ServiceMode.

2. Select [4] COMBI BANDS []. This should bring you into COMBINATION BANDS submenu.

3. Make sure all the BANDS are *. [8] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) is usually never checked off for me. You will have to do these steps everytime you reboot your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobmyers:
It worked! Thanks so much!
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
Just got home and finally got a chance to test out the external sd after the fix. All is working perfect. The disk management is showing the right size and working. Also, JFS advance running good. Then again, I have nothing to compare it to since this is the first time using lag fix. Great job Team Whiskey. Don't think i'll need to flash for awhile now.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
obsidian

Unclear, do you mean by going into LBSTestMode?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
no, he means go into applications and maps. You should see a button that says clear data.
[Vibrant Android Development] theoden144:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I was finally able to get it past the zImage stage but downloading one of Eugene's ODIN zips and using that. Now time to flash back to Obsidian.

Still didn't fix the wiped internal sd...
[Vibrant Android Development] mr2t32:
From what I have read, JFS have the journaling build in and the ext.4 is more of a add on.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
obsidian

Oh no you dont! Change your ways after I do my first flash! LOL!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Anyone know if Eugene's A10/A11 OC/UV kernel is compatible with Obsidian?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Oh, don't worry friend, I've got ya covered.

I've been running Obsidian v4.2 with ULF, but I have noticed quite a bit more battery drain in standby. I have done everything the exact same way as with the past few rom (getting great battery life by the way) and now when I check systempanel, it shows much more drain during down time. I am actually going back to stock again (for sake of keeping the same test parameters) and flashing 4.2 with stock kernel to see what difference if in can be had in battery life. I for one don't mind a few milliseconds of lag here and there if my battery can last a lot longer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex530:
Tried it and still getting data drops.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
my dude...this did the trick...thanks so much.
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Is anyone having battery issue with JFS advanced kernel? I haven't conditioned yet but I was messing around with it (couple of text, browsed a few web pages, changed settings, couple of wordfued games) with 40% left and got only 5.5 hours before it died.

I'm charging it right now to condition it and will see how it is from 100% tomorrow.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Hmmmm, this sounds all too familiar.:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] MaspaniQ:
Anyone figure a temporary fix on the data dropping?

obsidian

Now, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] thecapoots:
ok, so.

Read the whole original post in this thread. Saw the thing about the SD card wipe. Thought I'd be proactive (for once) and backed up both my internal and external drives before flashing 4.2.

Guess who got the SD card wipe.

So, using the instructions in the OP, I ODINed back to JFD. Then I saw all this stuff about using PhotoRec to restore apps and data, so I downloaded PhotoRec and started trying to restore my partitions. Then I realized... I probably don't have to.

Right?

I can just... restore the... backup I made, right? Take the files I copied to my hard drive and put them back on my SD card? Am I just completely overthinking this?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
PhotoRec would make it faster because it's just restoring things that are already there. Copying anew would take longer in many cases. Depends on how many files you had.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Flashed this while on 4.2 with ULF and it worked great. Flashed this right after a fresh install of 4.2 with stock kernel and could not see external sd card in file manager on phone or via usb on pc. Had to reflash again.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcjimmy:
Also have the "Error in server response." MMS issue. Have switched to other roms and no issue.

Any help is appreciated..... Thank You, I love this rom and will deal with not sending pics until fixed!
[Vibrant Android Development] ed1380:
any recommendations on which lagfix to use? I've only seen jfs mentioned since v4. i'm guessing it's just as good without needing to disable before flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] uhsarp:
I flashed mine with 4.2. Everything's great but weirdly, my phone is overheating like crazy! Anyone else having similar issues?
[Vibrant Android Development] arin8000:
Tnx for the great rom, I noticed a small bug! When I lower the system volume and open navigation app, the system volume goes automatically to the highest level!!!

Plz let me know if anyone has the same issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] hanbaoquan15:
How's the battery life of this rom for everyone? Onyx's battery life is not very stellar.
[Vibrant Android Development] Voltage Spike:
WiFi Sleep: Never By Default

I also had the format of internal flash (coming from Fusion 1.2), but it was easily fixed so enough said about that.

I just started using Obsidian/TW-kernel today, and the battery life was no better or worse than Fusion/VooDoo. However, the WiFi usage was a little high and, sure enough, the default WiFi policy is to never sleep. Since this setting isn't obvious, I thought I would mention it:

Settings/Wireless and Network/Wi-Fi settings

Hit the menu button, select Advanced

Select Wi-Fi Sleep Policy and choose something besides Never

I hope this helps someone.

Thank you, Team Whiskey. Since it looks like Gingerbread is going to be available before Samsung/T-Mobile decide that Froyo is ready, I'm glad the talented modders out there share their fantastic work with the world.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSVdeal:
Do I need to wipe?

Quick question:

I flashed V4 before it was pulled down and revised to 4.2 (I can not imagine it being better BTW). To get into some 4.2 do I need to wipe or will it work right without?

Also, TW posted the WiFi Calling app. I've read on this forum that it's kinda caca. Has that changed? Should I add it to the aresenal?
[Vibrant Android Development] mrjoeyloke:
odin

how do i do an odin back up? here is the prob! i flashed 4.2 but got stuck on a boot loop or something? my internal memory is wiped and i cant mount the phone... cant get into recovery either... any help would be good!
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
I just flashed v4 over v4.2 I did have voodoo enabled on v4 so I had to disable that first then flashed v4.2 the flashing process will wipe but remember to disable voodoo if you have it.

Just so you know that when I did this I had no wiping of the internal or external sd but I did have the issue with not being able to put files on my external sd card when connected to my computer my external card would show up C:/drive and would say that it is a read only drive. Using the "new_mounting_fix" solved all that.
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Yes, I get a whole string of text looping then it restarts and does the same thing all over again
[Vibrant Android Development] caubecari:
my phone not allow me to install to 4.2. It repeat install from zip. There is no option to install from sd card. I can not even using Odin3 to go back to stock firmware. Can anybody help? thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] tface:
I bet I know what's killing battery life... I believe it's the battery meters/percentages themselves! Anyone remember back in the g1 days both eugene and cyan's roms (not all but some) had actual number percentages instead of just the default bar? I even remember in some of eugenes roms he instructed you to go into "spare parts" or what have you and uncheck "battery percentage". That's just my opinion, couldn't hurt to going back to just the plain stock battery bar.

with normal kernel after the applying 4.2 I double the last of the battery.. and have a modest and good 1057 in quadrant

I tried to send a PM to the master of the rom.. because STOCK rom has the Video Call in the Phone.apk.. but here it isn't..
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Last night I reported getting bad battery life with the ULF kernel. I switched back to 4.2 with the stock kernel and only lost 4% of the battery in a 6 hour sleep period. I'm stocking to stock kernel and may use OCLF if I decide to use any lag fix at all. 4.2 seems to fly, all by its self.

I actually liked the messaging app in v3. Now I'm running 4.2. Can someone post a link or something to the apk from v3?
[Vibrant Android Development] sarge363:
Just take it from V3
[Vibrant Android Development] shawn605:
As in, I can open up the ZIP and extract it??? ... I really don't want to flash v3 back just to get the mms app...

EDIT: Well look at that... I had no idea I could just pull it out of the zip... THANKS!
