thanks for the info but i beg to differ. the touchwiz calendar is unique. the contacts app is also unique. the camera app (with all of its various settings), im not sure if its unique to touchwiz or the vibrant specifically. Im fully aware of other launchers, but again, those only handle homescreen managment and the app drawer. I suppose my question should have been "is it the entire touchwiz framework intact". in any case i believe the answer, according to your response, is yes. thanks.

Lately my phone has been saying that it does not understand my audio files ( or something along that line) but rebooting the phone usually fixes it.

Why is it doing this? all the files are in mp3 format. Its preventing my phone from ringing when I use a costume ringtone.

I have flashed my phone about 3 times now and am currently running nero5. I have not flashed since. I want to flash the latest firmware, but can't odin back to stock because I have a mac. What's the best way to clean up the phone without odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] aaronhiep:
You can try using this code, *2767*3855#

Open up dialer and put that in. It does a full factory reset including your internal sd.

*This is not like the factory reset in settings*

***Also i dont know if this works if you have a custom rom. Ive only tried this when i was on stock.***
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Why not just flash the rom listed in OP?

It's dynamite and very stable.

Anyone have issues w/ USB connected and USB debugging not going away, even when you unplug from USB? Noticed this for the past version or so/ Nothing major, just an annoyance....

BTW, for those requesting for minor graphic-based mods like 3g instead of H, no percentage on battery etc, learn how to use MetaMorph and Ninjamorph. Its quite easy to make little mods yourself using those apps.....

I just reflashed 3.1 twice and I cant get BLN or headphone amplifier to work, says my kernal doesnt support it... any suggestions, and no i havnt changed the kernal
[Vibrant Android Development] snce1980:
had this problem. rebooted and it went away...hasn't happened again. may not be a fix but worked for me.

on a different note. getting remarkable batt life with this rom and overstock kernel. clocked in at almost 20h even with moderate use.
[Vibrant Android Development] snce1980:
stock kernel does not support BLN or voodoo control app. you will need to flash a kernel that does support it, ie overstock or categorically worthless.
[Vibrant Android Development] bb4ninja:
Is flashing a kernal just like flashing a rom? sorry for my noob status, Im trying to learn but somethings i just dont understand
[Vibrant Android Development] snce1980:
yep. flash as you would a rom.

make sure you read all of the ifs/ands/buts for flashing a kernel. some kernels tell you to turn voodoo off completely before flashing...say three hail marys...kiss your dog...practice one act of random kindness...etc...before you flash...or else you'll brick your phone.

also, before you get completely flamed by some irate pre-pubescent or some high schooler going through teen angst, read the entire first and possibly second post before asking silly questions...the OP really help!
[Vibrant Android Development] GoodVibrant-ions:
If you haven't already...read the Noobs guide to rooting/flaahing etc in the samsung vibrant QandA forum. Its really helpful. And if you have any questions and can't get an answer or find an answer you can pm me. I don't mind helping if I can.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
I have done that, the app does not work no matter what i do, pics, vids, music....all say not supported or cannot play. (was trying to stream files from Win7 PC, of course files are visible in Allshare)

on this subject, my friend with Epic was able to play divx/xvid movies on the phone, they dont play on mine.....
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I had never used AllShare but when I tried with my Mac and Serviio,the only thing that worked on my Vibrant was images,photos,wallpapers etc.

Couldn't play music,videos or movies.

voodoo kernel bug ?

Since 1.3.1 (was fine on 1.2..) calls aren't rerouted to work with headphones - when you connect headphones, you can't hear the call through them.

i didn't replace voodoo kernel on 1.3.1, so it might be a non-kernel issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] Danielpc:
Are you using voodoo sound? I believe this is still a known issue. See #6 & 7

A bit relieved this is a more widespread problem than I thought. Thought I'd post my alogcat error file when an mp3 tries to play, hopefully someone with more knowledge of what is going on can shed some light on what is happening:

Do I need to flash overstock for this or just use the voodoo that comes with it!?
[Vibrant Android Development] nbhnohome:
What are you guys having so many problems ? Bionix 1.3.1 run smoothly on my Phone.

1. ODIN Back to STOCK

2. Install CWR, Wipe DATA, CACHE

3. While in CWR, select mounts and storage - > format system, data, cache

4. Flash Bionix 1.3.1

5. REstart. Wait till screen turn off by ifself

6. ENJOY
[Vibrant Android Development] GoodVibrant-ions:
It comes with a stock samsung kernel. I reccommend flashing the overstock 1.4 kernel. I went a week or two without flashing another kernel and then flashed overstock yesterday and I'm glad I did. Not that quadrant matters but I went from about a 1450 to 1750 with the overstock kernel. Plus you have more RAM.

Hi..

Is it ok to flash this rom over the Bionix Frost?

I had this one flashed and tried the frost version. But the GPS doesn't work on Frost and works on this version.

Do I have to Odin it to stock? Disable Vodoo?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] inkee:
im having the same problem as you guys. i reboot the phone and it usually works again but maybe like 3 days later, my alarm would go off and it would be the default sound(which i wont wake up to sometimes...). im using v1.3 and not sure what version everyone else is using thats experiencing the problem. hopefully v1.3.1 fixes it.
[Vibrant Android Development] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
I have this problem with both 1.3 and 1.3.1, it wasn't there in 1.2 though.

Hey I have reflashed this rom from a fresh odin after having issues it works fine for a few days then issues arise again. Is anyone else noticing these:

come back from darky and still thinking Bionix is the most smooth!

but Q: it says it included Voodoo color, how can I check if it is enabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
In order to take advantage of that feature,you have to flash one of the kernels listed in the OP.

I'd recommend OverStock or Categorically Worthless.

Here's the links,for both.

I attached the KB1 kernel,that comes stock,in case you want to flash back.

This is the best rom on this site. After waiting for the 2.2 update from Samsung/T-Mobile my lag was worse than ever. OCLF didn't help so I finally rooted and after researching picked this rom. It is just fantastic, and since I was born with a curious mind I have tried a few other roms on this site but non compare to yours, and adding your touchwiz theme made the package perfect for me. Thanks and I even bought you a beer. I am looking forward to your 2.3 rom. Thanks Again
[Vibrant Android Development] gohawks1:
I apologize if this is not the right place to post this, but the last 2 times I've tried to restore a clockworkmod recovery backup of 1.3.1 it has failed. It will always run for a while and eventually lock-up on restoring a file in the data section.

The file that it hangs on is always the same in a particular backup, but the file itself changes within different backups.

I have tried restoring 3 different backups, 1 of 1.3 and the other 2 were 1.3.1, none will work. I have successfully restored backups in the past, not sure what version was the latest.

I have tried restoring right out of recovery, I have tried disabling voodoo and then restoring, and I have tried reflashing back to default 1.3.1 and then restoring, none of the options work.

Am I missing something? I've never had restore problems like this before.
[Vibrant Android Development] YPhoto:
I spent a good 5 hours one night trying to do the same thing, from two different backups, each would fail in the data restore. I wanted to respond really quick as I have to leave the office now. What I did was in recovery, there is an advanced restore, I restored System and Cache this way. Then, from ADB I did the following for Data and DBData.

DATA partition

From recovery screen mount /SDCARD and /data

cd /data

Next line not necessary if wiped, if there are files run it.

rm -rf /data/* >>/dev/null 2>&1

Next line should point to your nandroid image file

unyaffs /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/your date coded backup/data.img

cd /

sync

DBDATA partition

From recovery screen mount /SDCARD if not already mounted from the above steps

Now Mount your dbdata partition

mount -t ext4 -o noatime,barrier=0,data=journal /dev/block/stl10 /dbdata

cd /dbdata

Next line not necessary if wiped, if there are files run it.

rm -rf /dbdata/* >>/dev/null 2>&1

Next line should point to your nandroid image file

unyaffs /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/your date coded backup/datadata.img

cd /

sync

Now Reboot!

This is what worked for me, after finding some of the info in google, some in the voodoo github and more. I hope it helps you. I had read in a droid forum that there may be a problem if your data backup is greater than 900meg. I checked my filesize and it was 927 meg. So maybe there is an issue with clockwork?

That's what makes great Rome the people who help others. I tried to flash darky Tom earlier but after my phone was stuck on 2g which i couldn't fix. So like the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. Came back to the whiskey hands down the best rom I've tried!!!!!!!!

The boot animation from Bionix V is clean and professional, I almost hated to get rid of it. However, in keeping with the retro theme I use a PC bios style boot animation. Post 384, which I have linked, contains the flashable Galaxy S version for our phones. (EDIT: the pc boot bios animation is not flashable. you must paste it manualy into System/Media)

This is helpful. Thanks. I've never had a problem before, but I'm trying to make sure I take every suggested step to ensure a perfect flash (this, flashing at 100%, letting it rest 30 min, etc). I used to rush things because I was to eager to have my phone running on the latest and greatest. I've probably just been lucky I haven't had more issues.

What about the "Restore all missing apps + system data" batch operation in Titanium? This should be OK as it only restores missing info, right?

[Vibrant Android Development] Midgen:
I flashed this after being disappointed with the stock Froyo from Kies.

Initial thoughts.

Fast: Quadrant is ~1500 with this rom. I was getting ~750 with the stock froyo. The UI is just snappier and smoother. This alone makes it worth the price of admission.

GPS: My GPS was horrible with the stock 2.2, whereas with bionix-v, my GPS locks almost instantly, and accuracy seems great (again, only 2 days testing so far).

Email: Using the included email app (in bionix-v) I'm able to sync to exchange using activesync with no issues. I have several POP and IMAP connections configured as well, and they all seem to be working fine (so far).

Bluetooth: Definitely some issues here (I think). Initially I couldn't get it to connect to my car stereo via my bluetooth audio profile, but eventually, after several retries, I was able to get this working, although in my quick test, it seemed like there was some static. I need to do more testing with this. The phone however is a different story. When I activate the phone, the bluetooth profile activates my car stereo responds by switching to the right profile (bluetooth phone), but phone goes to speakerphone mode, and I have to manually switch it to 'headset' in order to get it to actually route audio over the car speakers (and activate the mic). I played with this for about 20 minutes last night. I need to do more testing. There may be a setting I'm missing somewhere.

Edit: I neglected to mention that bluetooth worked great on my previous Nero (v3/4/5) builds, and I'm pretty sure it worked well on the stock 2.2 from kies, but I'll admit I didn't test it before I bailed on it and went to bionix-v.

Glad it helped, we both spent a lot of time on this one. I put my docs into Google docs as I know I will never remember how to do it in the future and I won't lose it there. Looks like the file sizes don't have anything to do with it then.

I have backed up before and after every ROM flash since day, this was my first restore for the Vibrant after testing a "GPS fix". Once the fix killed the GPS I figured I would just go back to the backup. I thought I was screwed and none of these backups were good. If it came down to it, I was protected with a titanium backup from a few days earlier.

BTW, I figured out how to fix the GPS too, returned my phone to T-Mo, and the refurb GPS works perfectly! First time I have ever seen that on my Vibrant.
