Some of us were initially unsure whether it was a locked bootloader, a la Moto DroidX. In Chainfire's KA6 thread, it was confirmed that the new bootloader is not locked. Personally, I'm pretty paranoid when the sbl.bin is modified - Sammy's toyed with locking down some of the tab firmware leaks. I just don't want to be stuck on a potentially buggy leaked build without root or the ability to flash something else. I don't know why they changed the SBL. Maybe they saw the builds were getting too stable and wanted to break stuff :p
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
You need a kernel built from source for Voodoo sound. Voodoo in the form of file system conversion can be injected into a stock kernel without source. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the sound enhancements or speed patches.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
Will Voodoo even work with this rom? If so I'll update in a heartbeat from KA5, I just love my voodoo is all.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Anyone using system panel? Wondering what battery consumption averages for wifi calling. Last night on KA5 deod.. My phone was at 30% consumption all night, my wifi calling with wifi on sits around 11%. XDA app was running all night as well. Just wondering if 11% is going to be the average. I thought I was doing much better on a JL4, but I could be very wrong. I'm going to flash this one shortly and let it sit. I'm guessing we will have the voodoo KA6 today, I might wait for that. Glad to see the lockscreen is up already! Nice work!

Actually, I had the KA6 modem flashed and I think the system panel was reading the XDA drain partially on the wifi because after it sat this morning with xda closed out, wifi calling average use is already down to 4.9 average. Looks like either KA6 modem doesn't like KA5 build or XDA was seriously jammed up. Either way, looking forward to the KA+ voodoo

I received no errors during the deodex process. I was using version 2.4.1.
[Vibrant Android Development] oquinones:
I think that it might be the updated Sbl.bin that is supposed to fix a Mac recognizing the phone when in download mode. I have been waiting for this but can't flash it because I don't access to windows. I don't supposed anyone could put it into a CWM package?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
So far lovin it like a big mac.
[Vibrant Android Development] Senorkabob:
Its already flashable through cwm man. Just download in the first post.
[Vibrant Android Development] oquinones:
No I am talking about flashing the updated Sbl.bin. I want to see if it fixes the inability of my Mac not recognizing my phone in download mode so I can flash with Heimdall, if I ever needed to.

Have you tried using adb with a "reboot recovery" option? As long as usb debugging is enabled that should work. Google it if you're unfamiliar with adb.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadster214:
thanks

thanks for the ROM WhiteHawkx! we need that power and the lockscreen mod like what you did on the KA5! continue the great work!! also thank you to all of the people involve with this ROM update!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Working on the power menu for this now. I'll do one for the AOSP lockscreen and the glass lockscreen. Samsung really changed the resource ids around on this one... so its going to take a bit. Framework compiled first try though so that is definitely a good sign.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadster214:
are you going to add all the lockscreen like the one on the KA5?
[Vibrant Android Development] dizzy21:
Thaks Alot Dude!! Can't wait... Do we know if Voodoo is being worked on? Sorry if that is a repeat question... Thanks and Keep up the AWESOME work..:):):)
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
yes Supercurio has been notified of the update, now we wait for him to update Voodoo :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Power Menu + AOSP lockscreen = DONE.

I'll upload here shortly. And I still plan on doing one for the glass lockscreen but I gotta get some work done lol.

I will not be porting all of the lockscreens as I don't have the continuous hours of dedicated time needed for that task. Although you do have an option between two lockscreens which is better than nothing. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] chadster214:
hehehe.. I understand.. as long as the power menu is there i'm happy.
[Vibrant Android Development] Parsia:
Anyone else having issues connecting to wifi networks ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I connected to my wi-fi network no problem last night and this morning. I stay on wi-fi the entire time I'm at my house. All I can suggest is if you JUST flashed it be sure to reboot one additional time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Parsia:
I just did a reset on it, ill see what happens; If that doesnt work ill re-flash it. I know its not my router, since other stuff connects to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] cnote74:
First leak to not have any blurry mms the rom is amazing and stable
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I actually had perfect pictures on KA5, but this build overall seems MUCH more stable. Very pleased with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Any words on the battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] thecoolcat:
email notification

How is the email app on KA6? Does it notify with a sound when new email arrives?

On KA5 I noticed that there was no sound notification when a new email arrives although I see the email icon on the notification bar in the top. (I'm not sure if it was just me that faced this problem on KA5). Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] reddragon72:
I always change my gmail notification sound so I am unsure if there is a default one or not, but I can say that my sound comes through on each email just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] thecoolcat:
Sorry I should have been clearer. Its not the gmail app. But the Email app (and I've configured as exchange, if that matters.)
[Vibrant Android Development] dizzy21:
Voodoo is now available..

Our main man supercurio has posted the KA6+Voodoo... :):):)

[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
I'm on deodexed KA5 with KA5 Voodoo currently. If I'm going to install deodexed KA6 and KA6 Voodoo, one right after the other without rebooting, do I need to disable KA5 voodoo before I install?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
It is always safer to disable it, but you should not HAVE to. What you said should work np. Key word being "should."

Also.............................................

Anyone want an accurate battery mod?!?!?! :D :D :D (finally got it to work!)
[Vibrant Android Development] ljv:
I'll take it if it doesn't display the percentage numbers in it :D Been looking for an accurate representation but without the numbers in them. Makes for a much cleaner look.

--Edit--

After all this time, I never noticed I could create an accurate battery without the numbers in it using the UOT Kitchen. Now, I'm a happy camper.
[Vibrant Android Development] iTylerA:
I'll take the battery mod
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Been dickin' off way too much today at work hehe. Battery mod will be posted within the next few hours. It's done, just no time to post atm. I might do away with the numbers as the above poster suggested. I think it would make it look alot nicer too! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
:cool: good stuff. Dude you're on top of it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thanks! Man... I couldn't get a batt mod to work on KA5. Decided to give it another go and it worked first try on KA6 @_@ I need to find someone who is photoshop savvy. I want to use the moon phase accurate batt mod but instead of a white moon I want it to be blood red so that it looks more like a solar eclipse. ;) If anyone thanks they can do that for me please shoot me a PM!
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
I wonder if we could just use UOT Kitchen instead... maybe I'll try that after I try flashing without disabling voodoo. (I love to live dangerously)
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Please let us know how it works out! It would be great if that was an option. I heard it didn't work on some of the later froyo leaks we received.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Good idea, let me know if this works, I don't feel like disabling and I'm going ka5 to ka6 tonight
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
That sounds sick! I've opened up the framework all of once, took a look around but I didn't have time to even begin that day. That may be a project for this weekend, or the near future. I like the blood red moon idea, that would look mean on Black Froyo. Make it Bloody Froyo, lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Bl4ckpheniX:
Whitehawkx,

Any noticeable difference between KA5-KA6?

deciding weather or not it is worth the flash...
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
Yes, it works! I installed KA6 rom first, then Voodoo for KA6, then the KA6 Power Menu. Worked like a charm! Now I'll attempt the UOT kitchen and see what happens with that.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
I know you guys are stock, but I pulled a png from another rom and put it in my ka5, I'm going to use it on ka6, it matched the blue for mms, let me know I can share the mms.apk if anyone can make it flashable. Just changes the icon for the better. Matched the battery and the wifi calling perfectly
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Yea I have this idea for a dark themed rom I'd like to do but need that awesome eclipse batt mod to top it off. I am a photoshop novice though and these images need to be TIGHT. :D

Honestly? . . . YES. Big difference in my opinion. I thought KA5 was "buggy." Nothing really I can put my finger on it just never seemed like it was jiving right. KA6 is an entirely different story though. It seems hella fast and smooth and while I haven't done much data testing ppl are saying the modem is the bomb diggity (damn i feel old). I've slapped together a few mods for it as well so ppl can maintain the things they have become accustom to. No lockscreen port yet, but the aosp lockscreen (which is what I use) is available to flash in the OP (also comes with the power menu) to get rid of that stupid glass lockscreen. All in all I'd say KA6 is solid.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
UOT Kitchen is a go! I extracted the framework apk, and the only thing I choose in UOT was the battery mod, no custom icons, bootscreens, etc. System booted up with no problems or FCs.

Here's the CWM flashable file for a circular accurate battery. I'm pretty sure this will ONLY work if you have the power menu + AOSP unlock screen mod for KA6 installed.

DOWNLOAD
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
So if I don't like it can i put my framework res back with root explorer? I want to try it but want to be able to go back after without nandroid
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
I don't see why not. I've used that method before with other roms and UOT and I've never had a problem. I would assume those same principles apply here as well. However, anytime you mess with the system, you should ALWAYS do a nandroid backup. Its just smart practice.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
So you never disabled voodoo, just flashed them all at once in cwm?
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
Yes, in the order that I stated.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Guess I have bad luck, stuck on black screen, keeps vibrating randomly, nothing happens, can't get into recovery.. this sucks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Here's a trick to get into recovery. Turn the phone off. Then hold down both volume rockers and plug your phone into the wall to charge. The battery charging icon will pop up (keep holding volume buttons) and then bam! recovery loads.

I always recommend disabling voodoo when going to a new rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] mprosper69:
Help Im stuck,,,,,,

it bricked my vibrant. does not recognize data. stayed stuck on boot. went to CWM recovery and it doesnt recognize the data and none of my backups are present. What can i do to rectify the situation? noob here
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
The download is fine. You cannot flash this over voodoo. This uses a stock kernel and going from voodoo > stock without disabling will soft brick your phone. If you have a voodoo kernel on your phone and can get into recovery flash it and you should be fine. Otherwise you need to Odin back to JFD and then flash it again.
[Vibrant Android Development] firasoblast:
I am bricked too. Stuck on boot with black screen and home and back lights on and vibrates every few seconds. I am coming from KA5 w/voodoo disabled. However, I can boot into recovery and data are still present but no backups. I tried to go back to KA5 or even JL5 that I had left in the internal sd card for situations like this but no success. I also tried to ODIN to OTA update with 512. Nothing happened. Looks like we're badly bricked here. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] mprosper69:
now when i go to recovvery everything is gone. HELp. WHAT TO DO
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
OK, JFD back with ODIN, but looks like I'm not the only one getting this, will try reflashing it now. Black screen, soft keys lit up keeps vibrating was what was happening, wouldn't go into recov, only download mode. Odin cleaned it up fast, guess I can always do that again. Will edit if it takes on the second flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] kboater:
if you can get into recovery, you are not bricked...

did you just try to reflash?
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Funny.... check out my speed test scores not very great but kinda funny....lol

[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Ok, I think part of the problem was I had voodoo disabled and was still in the voodoo red recov even though I had flashed the new rom witout voodoo before i rebooted? not sure. Its up and running on ka6, but now my titanium will not reload any apps, it keeps saying restored, but won't restore.

Correction, it says failed restore, i have pro and restored a few times before switching roms, never got this error before. Shoulda started this project earlier, about to toss the phone into the wall.

Edit...reflashed, same thing. Reflashed again then before rebooting flashed the voodoo kernel, all is right again. All I can think is that the system didn't convert back right because I didn't do anything different. Not sure why it didn't work after the odin to jfd either? Oh well, it's working now.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
That would be my assessment exactly. I fail to see how flashing a new bootloader could result in anything positive. It is all down-side risk. Throw the damn thing in the bit bucket, or flash it to a sacrificial device that already has some other problem.

One of these days, after Sammy has no further use for us as beta testers, they may well attempt to sneak in a bootloader with code to disallow booting of ROMs without a hidden signature somewhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
I did it last on JL5 and have updated only modem and kernels since then.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Whitehawkx,

Some who are flashing your deodexed CWM-based KA6 are having trouble. Did you try that method yourself, or are you still on your originally-Odin'd KA6, including the new SBL.bin?

After bad-mouthing the new SBL, now I am wondering if flashing without itcould be causing problems? :eek:

What do you think?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I think only one person had issues and it was because they flashed with voodoo enabled. After I odin'd KA6 and deodexed it I flashed the deodex version so I could do some modding. Though I obviously retained the new sbl.bin that came in the Odin tar.

I would not think the new sbl.bin would be required for this rom to be used. Although, this is just my own educated guess. We could learn more in the future.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Thanks a lot for this, I always prefer a good clean stock ROM if possible, with my own mods.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
My build is kanged directly from Whitehawkx release here, and I haven't had a report of any similar issues. You guys need to be sure to disable voodoo before flashing a stock kernel. Its not enough to just hit disable in the red recovery, you have to then reboot and listen to linda work her magic. This build as it stands doesn't cause the problems you guys are having, or I would have the same reports popping up in my thread. Odin to stock, or be sure you truly disable voodoo before jumping to a stock kernel.

[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
That's weird that people are having trouble with this. Are you guys rebooting when you install KA6 and THEN trying to install KA6-Voodoo? I had KA5 with KA5-Voodoo and flashed right over the top without disabling the voodoo, but I installed all the zip files in succession without rebooting. I also did not wipe data. Either I'm just really lucky, or something else is going on. Again, this was the method I used:

-Reboot into KA5 Voodoo Recovery

-Choose deodexed KA6 rom file. Install.

-Choose KA6 Voodoo from Supercurio. Install.

-Install other packages (Accurate Bat Mod, Power menu, etc.)

-Reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
I disabled voodoo, rebooted. Moved files to the sd card, rebooted to recovery. Flashed rom, lock screen, battery mod, voodoo kernel. Clicked reboot system, it did it's talking then said covered and active, did the start up screens then went black, soft keys lit up and it was randomly vibrating. All is goods now but I do have a new question I'll post in a second hopefully someone can help
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
I don't know dude, I never disabled my voodoo, so I can't say what went wrong with yours. Maybe just a simple bad flash.:confused:

Trying to get the best battery life possibly, using system panel it looks like theres one system process running, wonder if anyone knows what it is and if I can freeze something? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
kcp, unless you really use Wi-Fi Calling, I'd uninstall it. The thing is a battery hog. You can uninstall it via Titanium, but when you do you'll get a FC. Hold in your power button until your system reboots and it'll reboot without Wi-Fi Calling and no longer FCing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I think you got lucky myself. Voodoo has grown since it was first put out there, and the chances of soft bricking are slimmer than they used to be, but they are still there. Being a computer tech for years, I always go about things methodically to ensure a step isn't missed or something else gets fouled up. Its the best bet to disable voodoo entirely, reboot, let linda work, reboot install rom, reboot, and then add the kernel of your choice that is compatible with the rom. For those who aren't that experienced in flashing, making sure to complete every step is important, especially for novice users who, as we all have at one time or another, are going to go into super panic mode on their first soft brick if they miss a step. Just my 2 cents.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You flashed too much at one time. you should reboot in between each add on that you're doing to the rom. See my post above, flash rom, reboot, flash one add on at a time, rebooting in between each to make sure you can boot. Keeps things from getting mucked up.

Edit: Has Whitehawkx put out the battery mod for this yet? If you flashed one from a previous framework, that could cause your soft brick as well.

Eidt2: NVM I see the mod you used, posted by aloneinshadow back on page 7. going back to my corner now

I need it, service in my house is crap, funny though, with this rom and after I downgraded back to maps 4.5 from 5.0 I can lock on gps in my house, could never before, could only lock outside at 20-40ft, now i'm inside locked at 26 ft. Odd. Maybe when KA7 comes out i'll get service in the house! Doubtful, but yes, I need wifi calling for now. Per the panel looks like its not really using battery when the phone is sleeping, is the panel inaccurate? Should I not have wasted my money on it?

Ndwgs, its called System Panel
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
It's a stock ROM it is suppose to have that. Buy root explorer, you might as well fix the boot and shutdown animations while you're at it. No point leaving the pink screens if you don't like the sound..

Remove two files, in system/etc the name is poweron.wav the second file to delete is in system/media/ui it's shutdown.ogg

Then get yourself two new qmg files for the boot ani and a shutdown folder and copy and paste those in and you'll be happy. I have a zip with everything in it, unzip and use root explorer to move it all to the right place. Shutdown folder goes in system/media/video...just the folder with the pngs, not the folder that has another folder in it after you unzip it. Then put the qmgs in the system/media
