1) What's the difference with the Stock kernel vs the other?

The "other"? V5 flashes the stock kernel... If you flash another kernel, each kernel should have release notes... Those would tell you the difference...

2) If you flash the stockishandroid theme from TW's site, is it possible ot remove it / go back to the original Obsidian look without having to reflash the whole rom?

Easy way to do this, is create a backup before flashing the stockishandroid theme... Then flash the theme... If you dont like it, then flash back to your backup...

it might mess with other other mods (battery mod, in particular). read the threads to make sure you're ok with the results. that said, i haven't tried because i like the blue segmented battery mod too much. :(

the first link has a clockwork zip, but you're right, no apk. the second link is just a blue mod of the first, and just for the android lock.

Love this V5 beta! Have had a few bugs though maybe you guys can find the source of.

Sometimes no apps will show up in my app drawer. It would just be a black screen, have to restart to get it back.

The double tap to zoom in stops working after a page fully loads in the web browser. It would work at first, but stops after the page loads. Double tap zoom out always works.

For some reason my battery drains like no tomorrow with this over stock rom.

aside from that, super nice UI and smooth. Great work!

can anyone recommend a good kernel for this? whats the difference between the stock 2.1 and 2.2 kernel on teamwhiskey's site? im still on the one the vibrant came with.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
First, if you flashed v5... Then your not on the kernel your vibrant came with... Your on a 2.2 kernel... (The kernel was flashed when you flashed v5)

The difference between the 2.1 kernel and the 2.2 are the builds they report too... 2.1 is Eclair... 2.2 is Froyo... DO NOT mix them... If your on a 2.1 ROM... You must use a 2.1 kernel... If your on a 2.2 ROM... You obviously must use a 2.2 kernel...

What kernel to use.. Thats all user preference and phone reaction... The one i use is in my signature, and i love it!
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
I rom backup quite a bit and for some odd reason it never occurred to me to work it that way. . . i blame it on being sick all week >.>

EDIT: The ROM does have a bit of. . . quirkiness about it, but for all intents and purposes it seems fairly solid so far.

Is there a reason that the v5 rom is showing as 4.2 in my info? I'm fairly certain i didn't flash the 4.2, but i've done stranger things
[Vibrant Android Development] phattchumpy:
v5 beta shows up as 4.2. It's just a config thing and doesn't affect functionality.

[Vibrant Android Development] dbknottyboy:
for some reason it reads 4.2 after installing v5.. before it didn't though. it actually showed v5. i think this is the actual 4.2 cause i'm experiencing a bit slow and chops on a flash site that didn't lag when the actual v5 showed up.. maybe som took out the v5 and replaced it with 4.2 for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] AlexAndroid:

And I was just going to do my first flash, deciding on Axura because of the headphone issue. I can wait now!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] dbknottyboy:
a couple of days ago when i first installed it. but then i did something to my phone and have to redownload obsidian to install it again so then i saw it said 4.2.

if you check out their official download page at the tw site, he actually took down obsidian 5.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
You might just want to wait a day or two...Obsidian v6 should be out soon.

Nothing special needs to be done unless you're running Voodoo. Well...unless you consider making sure you're fully backed up special. Other than that, flash away.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
No guarantees on the headphone issue. I wouldn't hold your breath. Has Axura fixed the headphone issue? If so I was unaware.

You are probably right, I didn't read the whole thread and assumed that since I didn't see it as an issue in the pages that I had read, (quite a few) that it was not an issue. I watched that video of Axura in action in their OP and decided I could live with that until TW either solved the issue or Samsung came out with an official release. What to do? This is my new iPod in addition to everything else.:(

Anyone having issues on V5 Beta with setting up google voice for voicemail, i.e. entering (or letting set-up do it) the google voice number as the forwarding number for voicemails? When I try to do it, it won't let me change the pre-defined career phone number for voicemails. I had this issue with the bionix 1.4-1.91 roms too. Was working fine in prior versions... I think.

Minor snag, guys. I went from 2.1 to 2.2. I'm not supposed to restore the app data, just the apps cause it can cause problems. Don't have the option to just restore the apps?:confused: What to do?

Options:

Restore missing apps + all system data

Restore all apps with data

Opps! I'll post this anyway as another noob might learn from it. The first version is the system data, just like it says. Dooh! Sorry.:)

Damn, I'm so embarrassed! I just undid the whole process, got a little confused when I came to restoring CWM which was already in the new ROM. Well, I'll just have to let it finish, then start over!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Yeah...just restore apps+data. Restoring system data can bring all sorts of woe. If you're careful you can restore some system data, like WiFi and Bluetooth settings, but I've never really bothered since those things are so easy to do manually.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Don't worry about it. Though it doesn't sound like you are! :D

You'll pick up a lot from actually going through the process time and time again as any respectable flashing whore would. Read lots too, especially after a new ROM is unleashed.

Well, now I've got the dreaded Odin not recognizing my device so I can't go back to stock. I don't understand as I've never had a problem syncing before to move files back and forth from my Vibrant.

Gonna see if I can google and get them from Samsung direct.:(

So true. I just got reflashed. For whatever reason (Murphy's Law I guess) couldn't get OCLF from the market to re-root. Had to find it in the forums and install from my PC. I'm at the 15 minute wait stage again. It went so much faster this time, let's see if I can screw it up again faster than I did the first time. LOL! Do you recommend that I install my apps through the google cloud? That Titanium Backup is a little confusing. Or maybe I should just get the paid version right now. Or I can de-select CWM which is in v5 already and was what got me screwed up in the first place. OCLF is in here two but the menu gives you the option of restoring. I guess I'll just make a careful list this time.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
yeah what happened to ryanzas lag fix i just odined back to stock and couldnt find it in the market
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:
You're right, I can't find it either.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Oh yeah, get the paid version of Titanium. With the paid version you can do batch restores, which saves a bunch o' time. Open it up and go to Backup/Restore. Hit menu and the top middle button is "Batch." It will create scenarios for you. If I remember correctly you want to RUN Restore missing apps with data. Select that and a list of all backed up apps will appear. You can select what to restore. I've made it a habit to deselect anything that has "2.1" in its name since this ROM is 2.2.

Not sure why OCLF wouldn't let you root. I've never tried it for that, and I never could get it to work on a 2.2 ROM (I've been a Voodoo man myself for some time now). Use the one included in the ROM, not from the Market. At one point TW tweaked it I believe because it wasn't working on earlier versions of Obsidian.

You shouldn't be having trouble with ROM Manager...I'm pretty sure it's the latest version. Be sure to flash Clockwork recovery again every time you flash, even it ROM Manager is preinstalled and you have Clockwork set up before flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:

Is there a reason why the Obsidian v5 is listed here on xda but not on TW's official site?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
It was never really an "official" ROM. There won't be an official v5 really...the next we should see is v6. Sombo mentioned he'd have it out soon, but since the release of JK6 I would expect to see the release of v6 pushed back a bit.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lenuin:

I did it the same, just had to find out a few things. This time I deselected Rom Manager and OCLF. Most everything is back! The gallery is lightning fast in loading all the crap I have on it. The live wallpapers run really good too, although I have two Galaxy and Polar Clocks. I thought Titanium could recognize that those were included in this Rom and not restore the backup. Nope! But at least I know how to get rid of them. My Avatar icon is missing and right now I have no cell signal. It was in flight mode, I turned that off and am rebooting to see if that solves it. I reflashed the JK6 modem too!:) My old messages are gone though. Yep, signal is back! I've had enough for one night, am now too frazzled to play with it or think straight. And I'll bet V6 will be out when I wake up in the Morn. LOL!

I only used system panel.

so the result is always the same..in the morning,after about 7 h I have ONLY 34 mins of suspend .. The cpu us always 30% and more.

And i've uninstalled gmail..tweetdeck..etc..

and the most % of top running apps are again

[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Did you Odin back to stock before flashing v5? Most of the battery issues are related to ghosts... If you didn't Odin.... I would recommended that you do.... System panel is good... But also look at your screen timeout... Screen brightness... Sync schedule... And so on...

You didn't say what kernel your using or what kernels you have tried... But remember any OC is going to suck battery life... On the other hand underclocking when the screen is off helps save bettery life....

Basically there are lots of ways to work on battery life... Do some real homework...
