For some reason, and only with this rom, when I try to reply to emails, the app force closes. This is just the standard email app. Also, I don't know if it matters, but it's connected to my yahoo accounts.

"shoot me" from the market
[Vibrant Android Development] OldeCrow:
It was FC'ing on me when I tried to forward email... I surrendered... again... went back to K9 from the market, it just works as advertised.
[Vibrant Android Development] Unrest333:
Ok, to recap...

I do not mean to change the flow of this thread by asking, but...

I'm very green to flashing ROMs on the Vibrant and I had a relatively all-inclusive question:

I am running the stock Froyo ROM from Kies Mini. Before I flash the TW Bionix-V ROM, will I be able to make a full backup/image of my current setup so I could revert? I'm almost positive this has been covered somewhere within these great archives, but I am at work currently... I don't have time to do a thorough search. Flame if you will, but please answer? :p Thank you all for your time.
[Vibrant Android Development] sharkethicx:
I'll give this one a try.
[Vibrant Android Development] Unrest333:
In addition, I suppose this backup and restore would fall on the bootloader? Gah, it has been about 3 years since I've done this last... Just trying not to lose functionallity or brick it.
[Vibrant Android Development] PDY05:
Before you start...

1. BACKUP EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Find a compatible base band image for your phone that'll flash through odin

Here we go...

1. Root your phone

2. Install clockworkmod

3. Download the cwm update for your respective phone (through cwm once that's installed)

4. Make a note of your firmware, baseband, kernel, and build - all this can be found in the "about phone" menu under settings

5. Boot in cwm recovery (reboot into recovery option when you launch cwm)

6. Make a back of your current image/rom. Cwm labels the backup files by date and time - so you can at this point reboot your phone and rename the folder to something more meaningful - don't forget to backup this image

7. Download a rom that's flashable via cwm (teamwiskey/euguene/auxura/einherjar/etc...) you basically have a sh!t ton of options here - all good

8. Place the zip file on the internal sd card (somewhere you'll remember)

9. Reboot back into cwm recovery

10. Select "install zip from sdcard"

11. Select "choose zip from sdcard"

12. At this point navigate and find the new rom and select it

13. Acknowledge the prompt

14. Wait for it to finish....

15. Reboot and you're ready to go

If you find that you don't like what ever rom you just installed flash back to your original base band via odin, root, install cwm, and do a restore of your original rom image - done!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] khching:
I guess I missed this somewhere, but how come we only have 5 home screens not the original 7 screens?

is there a fix for this?

Ps. I love the Bionix-V my quadrant results come to 1510

Thanks Yaz75
[Vibrant Android Development] Unrest333:
Thanks a lot. Like I said, I appreciate your time!
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
GB launcher is 5, TW launcher is 7.

If you want to tweak how many you have, then you probably should just download LauncherPro or similar from the market. It's free and customizable for your drawer/homescreen etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] CivlDX:
I'm comfortable with using odin and cwm, but how does one pull an apk from a rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Download Nero V5 to your external SD Card, download Root Explorer from the Market/use Root explorer to open Nero V5 Rom/go to System/App/find the application you looking for/Long press on that application/copy/go back to the root of your phone and look for system/then applications/ and paste there. Not forget to change the permissions to RW/R/R. To change the permissions you have to long press on the application you just paste/ permissions/ and then on the first vertical line check ALL 3 read/ second Vertical Line only the top W checked/ then the rest uncheck. Hope this can help you.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Goten310:
Anyone havibg problems with their Facebook contact sync? Been having this problem since V5. Login session would constantly expire and I would have to log back in. Sometimes it would just give me a sync error when checking the accounts and sync. I've tried clearing the Facebook sync data and the SNS data and still the same thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] PDY05:
For all the zipped roms. All you have to do is unzip them locate the apk you're interested in then simply copy it over to your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
After you copy to your ROM don't forget to change your permissions to RW-R-R, if you don't do that the new apk is not going to work.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] jalsing:
It's also Here if you just want to download it. You still have to get it in /system/app and change permissions for it to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Could it possibly be your battery and can you charge it to 100%% before trying to unbrick?

Flashed this last night. So far everything is good. The only issue I have found is I don't get a notification tone when I receive an exchange email from work. All others work mms, sms, facebook etc... anybody else experiencing this and know of a solve??
[Vibrant Android Development] evill0518:
camera... the firmware is not the latest.

i got these warning when opening camera "THE FIRMWARE IS NOT LATEST. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?" selecting:> "yes"- works fine, "no" exits camera.. i got this before too. i hope somebody knows how to stop this.. thankyou
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I attached the TWiz30Launcher and TWizWallpaperChooser

Copy to sd and then to system/app.

Change permissions rw-r-r.

You'll have 7 screens and a few different wall papers.

Install Home Switcher from Market,to toggle between your different launchers.

Bug report:

Swift keyboard FC. Will contact there developers soon.

So far everything is snappy. Thank you so much for a great ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] ripsphone:
Try going to menu-settings-accounts and sync. Delete the current facebook account and then add a new Facebook account. I had the same issue once and this did the trick.
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
There is no 'All calls' in the version shipped with the ROM. I'm going to try the AOSP MMS and see if that brings it back...are you running any of the add-ons from the OP?

Here's to hoping that this is the ROM that gets me to move away from Bionix Final. The single best ROM ever created for the Vibrant, bar none.

Thanks for this TW.
[Vibrant Android Development] robavila721:

From what i see, yes it does.

finally someone gets it. i knew someone would ask hows battery before sombionix even posted this rom its like this all the time no patience with the battery life for some people.

Can I go straight from 2.1 to this? Or must I first go to stock 2.2 then upgrade? Sorry it's been a while and I can't seem to find any info on it in the OP.

About to download, thanks! Will reprort back. <3
[Vibrant Android Development] a1cshowoff:
I'd like to know the answer to this too.. is it part of the GPL or something? I mean, if it's just on Samsung's word, I'm not gonna hold my breath.
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
as long your phone is rooted you can go straight to this rom. look in the vibrant bible on how to root and dl rom's.
[Vibrant Android Development] in_dmand:
Just wanted to post this for everyone getting ready to flash this or all who have but are having problems... make SURE you are waiting about 10-15 minutes after flashing this ROM. Then you will have to reboot once or twice. After I flashed it and waited 10 minutes, my system started locking up when using the camera. I rebooted and that fixed that, but then I had an issue with the debugging and mount icons in the notification bar not disappearing after unplugging my phone from my computer. After a second reboot, this was fixed and now my system is running flawlessly... hope this helps some people!
[Vibrant Android Development] in_dmand:
go stock then upgrade...this doesn't have the 2.2 firmware, it is just a ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
Mmm... All kinds of Bionix goodness!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] puretone:
Hey guys is there any chance I can get the Memo.apk in this build? I tried using the stock Froyo 2.2 Memo.apk but it won't install.....

I really really like this build, it is freaking amazing, super fast, super quick lock on GPS & the Helroz unlock works wonders on it too!

I just miss the OEM Memo.apk since it works about 10000 times better than any other one available in the Market.

Also, now that I am on vacation, for some reason I can't redownload some of the apps that I had bought previously in the Market. In fact when I search for it on the Market, they won't even show up in searches (?)
[Vibrant Android Development] remixfa:
Went from nero to bionix. Had some crap lag I could get rid of, so I tried disabling and enabling voodoo. It did the trick. Now as smooth as ever.

Love the return to the touchwiz launcher as well. Its just more functional then the standard drawer.

First class work like always team whiskey!!
[Vibrant Android Development] remer13:
I tried this suggestion to resolve the "messages in the call log" trouble but after flashing this I had the AOSPmms, but the messages were still in the call log... Any other suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
Will it be ok to flash over Nero V3 without disabling Voodoo? Anybody figure out the text messages in the call log thing yet? Screen shots?
[Vibrant Android Development] remer13:
Make sure you are trying to "install" Memo.apk using a program like Root Explorer. It has to be put in /system/app with the correct permission.

Try clearing your Market Data/Cache in your Manage Applications > All
[Vibrant Android Development] bradycl_84043:
If you received messages *before* you flashed this, those messages will still be in the call log. No more will be sent there from this version of messaging.
[Vibrant Android Development] alienator88:

Hello all...I downloaded the wifi calling apk from the op and flashed using CWM recovery. However the app does not show in my app drawer and I cannot find it using Astro. Any help would be appreciated.

I did an Odin with the dead screen and it works properly, I mean at least the recovery and after that I could install any ROM.

I did a little more research on this .apk and discovered that the bookmarks cannot be edited or deleted from the browser. Maybe with one of the Market apps, but I don't know. Also, I could not find the 'Text Selection' feature mention by Jdanisevitch. Just a heads up!:)

I would give it a few days. I've noticed since Nero V3, that as days go by, the phone performs better. I think it has something to do with all the data and cache being wiped and as you use the phone, the info builds up again so the phone performs better.:)

I went back to Nero 5 last night for that reason, however, the problem was there too.

I must be missing something. When viewing 'call logs' when you hit 'menu' you can choose 'view by' and deselect messages.:confused:

Nope. I wish it were the case, but it isn't.
[Vibrant Android Development] hernandez3674:
download skyfire browser and it will remove ur bookmarks...
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

That may be a usb driver issue. I had that problem on my first flash although I wasn't bricked at the time. I screwed up my flash and had to Odin back to stock. But Odin would not recognize my phone even though I had usb drivers installed and had been tethering since I first got it. I had to go to the Samsung website and download different drivers from what I had. Then, Odin worked. Someone else had to revert to using XP instead of Windows 7. Hope this helps.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] DKM119:
i dled from the market "bookmarks sort & restore" use that aplication to delete de original bookmarks...took me less that a minute to do that...and i have no problems adding bookmark using the browser

OP says to flash addons...that being said have also tried just the normal install with the same results. Anybody have a walk through for a noon.
[Vibrant Android Development] DmdFreak:
Not true. You flash it. I did and it works fine for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
I was thinking the same today.I've been using my phone like crazy all day and still have 40%.
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
For the wifi app, I merely moved the apk to the phone, and used AppInstaller (free app from the market). Clicked it, AppInstaler installed it with no issues. I've tested the wifi calling and it works perfectly. Depending on the app, some need to be pasted into the correct system folder, or if in zip/rar form, they need to be installed using recovery. This one installs just like any other app.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I have no problem with the SK.

Did you install from market?
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
here is what hes talking about i think

When clicking the phone app it shows dialer, call logs etc

when clicking on call log it shows everything

However when clicking the contacts

you see contacts, groups, history

Under History you can select only messages or calls or both etc...
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Here.Move to system/app and change permissions to,rw-r-r.
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
Ah, you may be right. That's exactly how it is for me as well.

Yeah Ray, we're talking about the call log tab in the phone/dialer.
[Vibrant Android Development] eggnoodle:
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between OP AOSP mms and the mms included in this rom? What is the advantage of one over the other?

[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
I just miss the OEM Memo.apk since it works about 10000 times better than any other one available in the Market.

Not sure if you're interested, but I've found Catch Notes to work well for me. Password access and online syncing make it way more versatile than Memo, imo.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Copy this dialer into system/app,to replace the one that's installed.

Make sure to change permissions,to rw-r-r.

The first option in call logs,is All calls.
[Vibrant Android Development] DKM119:
Well I installed and it did worked for me...so don't said not true

thought this was a build off the official froyo. why does it have the H instead of the 3G icon?
[Vibrant Android Development] DmdFreak:
My apologies. I should have said that flashing worked for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
Official froyo does not come with Voodoo either.

TW work is based off the official release, and expends on this greatly to provide you with the best possible experience :)

[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
Just to clarify a little, anything that ends in .apk must be installed anything that ends in .zip can be flashed.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
In this thread, that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
Still like the 3G better. Whenever someone else looks at my phone they always ask why does it say H?
[Vibrant Android Development] avogl:
Yes it is, in both versions. Other that the stock ka7 I think it's the only ka7-based rom that does have the sbl included. Can't help but wonder if that doesn't have something to do with the bricks that are being reported. I'm staying with nero 5 for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Wrong.Addons: (after flashing addons, first boot will take a bit longer so dalvik-cache can rebuild. This is done to reduce errors)
[Vibrant Android Development] rayystar:
Does anyone know how to delete recent recipients from contact history? It works with stock and worked with Nero 4.1 but after that it stopped working. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
I went from Nero v5 to Bionix-v with no issues.

Not being specific, but I believe that most of the problems are coming from folks who aren't following directions as closely as they could, not giving the ROM time to settle in, and having tweaks and old flashes that left bits and pieces of garbage that are clashing with the new install. IMO, if you're careful, methodical and ensure that you are performing a clean install, it should be a pretty painless procedure.

Copy to internal sd and then to sytem/app.

Once you move from sd to sytem/app,long press on app and uncheck execute for user,uncheck write and execute for Group and Others.

You will have checked.

I ordered a new vibrant from TMO, rooted it and then attempted to install Bionix v on top of the clean install from the factory. It installed correctly, rebooted.. I heard the chick talking while it was installing voodoo, then it froze on the Vibrant screen again.(For over 30 mins)

I got it back to recovery and flashed Nero 5 with voodoo again, and it is working great... weird
