Not what i thought it would be

Hey all, My first impressions of this rom is that it isnt as snappy as i thought it would have been. My favorite Rom By TW is also the one that felt snappiest was Obsidan v4. Coming from Nero 5, Benchmark scores are identical, but this rom lacks the pleasingly smooth snappiness i felt on nero 5 and more so on the Obsidian Line.

Just as a heads up b4 you would perhaps go irate. I odin'd to stock first, followed all waiting procedures and did not ti-back up or reinstall anything that way. All completely fresh... *TWICE yes i did all this twice because i felt that a TW rom should feel smoother and snappier. I'm not saying its slow. it could very well be, i've been desensitized by TW's roms and should expect them to be faster by now?? but over all it feels less smooth and snappy than any nero rom i have used.

For example, when i place my finger to start scrolling there is a defined (not long) lag between when it starts scrolling (very smoothly) and when i flick my finger or just move my finger. I've never felt that before on my TW roms. There are also a few others i will post on in a bit when i figure out how to word (and have more time.. gtg to work)

Has anyone felt anything of the sort?

An Oc kernel is more just for fun than anything at this point!

Its suppose to increase speed, but I didn't notice any difference in it!

I messed around with the Dragon v3.1.2 kernel for a couple of days! I couldn't get my phone to Oc past 1120 without it freezing!

This one is suppose to have voodoo sound! Again not much of a difference!

My battery, as stated by many sucked! 6-8 hrs tops with moderate use. Its usually double that with a normal kernel.

There is a normal Dragon kernel you can try without the Oc just to get the voodoo sound addition.

You can download it the same way as the Rom.

Ps. Som added the stock kernel in the OP in case you try it and dont like it!

Rockin that Bionix V w/ S.b.g. 2.5 & Dragon v3.1.2

I don't know of a flashable zip for the mms, but here is an .apk. Place in System app using Root Explorer, longpress on file and choose 'Permisions' Make them rw-r--r--.

Oops, what am I doing I sent the wrong file! LOL!

Well, first you'd have to get you hands on a Brazilian version of the Galaxy S, then I don't know what you'd have to do. I was just making a point that Samsung made so many similar phones that each require a slightly different Rom.:)

I'll be making some adjustments tonight to smooth out the UI more. And for those of you complaining about quad scores not improving drastically, I'd like to remind you that without source and being able to tweak the kernel, there's only so much we can squeeze out of the system files. What you're asking is impossible. Please use these threads to reports bugs, not ***** about unobtainable speed.

I'm having an issue with Apps not fully installing from the market. They reach 100% and don't install/update. I find that when I cancel the installation & reinstall, it works but that shouldn't be necessary.

Other than that, I LOVE this ROM. Thanks Team Whiskey.
[Vibrant Android Development] ripsphone:
Yeah I tried all that...no luck. Don't want to have to re-install. Maybe if I flashed the modem it would work?

If you feel that ur old rom was faster

Go back to your old rom instead of complainning and *****ing on the thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
A. It does increase speed, but you could MAYBE not feel it, esp at 1120. All phones can't handle OC. Mine runs real quick at 1280 and the voltage app helped on battery, got about 12 hours today, got me through my work day and some.

B. You lost all credibility when you said there's no difference with voodoo sound, it's incredibly better. Anyone who truly knows how to use it would agree.
[Vibrant Android Development] ripsphone:
Just wanted to clarify my data issues ARE NOT related to this rom. I did a fresh flash. Still no good. So then I thought, hmmmm. Maybe its my sim card. Swapped it with my wife's (which is also running this rom) and what do you know? Worked like a charm. On closer inspection, my sim is discolored and looks burnt. So I need to drive 20 miles to the corporate store tomorrow and get a new one.

Finally getting good battery life

I stopped using a couple widgets
[Vibrant Android Development] ohmyggg:
Really great ROM. For me, the stability and battery life are a huge improvement over anything I've used to date.

However:

Still struggling with the browser. On Nero v5, I was experiencing some sluggish performance which HAS improved with Bionix-v, but I'm still frustrated with the way the phone manages browser memory. If I am running multiple browser tabs and then switch out to messaging or another app and come back to the browser, the phone will almost always attempt to reload the page. This even happens when switching between tabs sometimes and staying within the browser app. In this respect, I am unable to truly multitask whenever the browser is involved.

Is this a bug? When I first bought the phone, it did not behave this way. It managed 8 tabs without a hitch but JI6 seemed to have killed the ability to keep pages in memory for some reason.

Anybody who uses the browser a lot also experience this or know of a solution?
[Vibrant Android Development] Unrest333:
Respectful request...

Have had great success with this ROM. Thanks to all those who helped with it. With all due respect, one request... could you add the option to display "All Calls" instead of the default being "All Logs" to the "View By" in "Call Logs"?

Was that confusing enough? :D

**EDIT**

I know there was a post earlier on a quick fix for this, but I was just requesting it to be included in the ROM next release. =)
[Vibrant Android Development] azsamsancho:
Ive encountered a similar bug. As soon as I installed thew rom, I installed from the market my top 10 apps. Today, i realised, they do not appear in "My Apps", nor when im browsing top applications in the market they show as installed. I intalled three apps today and they do show. My other 10 apps tho -- do not...

Also, I had 2-3 times freezes as i was trying to use the GPS..

Can anyone help me out...

I'm very familiar with flashing Captivate roms and did a vibrant for the first time yesterday for a friend yesterday with this rom. I did a clean install on his phone and I was hoping this would fix the GPS like the Captivate devs have pretty much sorted out, but his Vibrant still will not lock at all. Any recommendations? I haven't tried the samsung fix from the market yet but didn't really think I'd need to. Maybe flash this rom again and see how that works? Maybe try nero 4.1? Or 4.1 with a different modem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Dude that was a bit harsh.

To the first poster, it definitely feels faster to me than any of the Obsidian/Onyx roms i flashed. Not sure why you're seeing lag, but it's definitely not a common experience. Maybe try one more time?

Daaang Gina!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Ahardin:
Ugh really?...

I dont know how much more eloquently i could have wrote that post, but i for sure was not complaining or *****ing, my friend. Simply giving observations about my experience of the ROM. I'll keep it to bugs next time.

In my and i'm pretty sure everyone's experience, there is an extremely strong correlation between a benchmark score and the overall feel of the ROM. I was simply using it at an example to try and identify the slow feel of the ROM. I'll keep it in mind for next time when i try to use your flawed logic to review a ROM.

Overall the ROM is very very good and i'm happy to continue using it.

**is that a better review such like the ones i've seen posted already?"**

SERIOUS note:

My device has since, gone very laggy, and i'm getting force close when i try switch camera to camcorder. ALSO force close when trying to save an freshly made excel file on thinkdroid.

Suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] jdanisevich:
Did you perhaps use Titanium to restore system data? Regardless of whether or not Titanium was involved, I would try the following: Download the ROM again (bad downloads/flashes happen far more than you'd think), backup your data (optional, but I'd remove any backups of system data other than bookmarks), boot into recovery, do a factory reset (optional, but a fast alternative to Odin), reflash the freshly downloaded ROM, reboot, give it 10-15 minutes to setup and rebuild the cache, reboot again, wait for media scan to finish, then setup to your liking (at this point it's a healthy practice to play with the ROM for a bit while you setup system data again, this usually gives you an idea of how the ROM should run before anything is messed up), restore any data (optional, and I recommend a reboot immediately afterwards), enjoy!

Hope that helps. :)

can somebody give me the links of Stock rom Eclair 2.1 & Froyo 2.2

i need it plzzzzz give me.... and the full procedure of installing this roms
[Vibrant Android Development] Dmkjr:
This is not the place to get this information. If you would do a quick search using the forum tools, you will see MANY MANY posts about how to flash ROMS in general, or specifically go to Team Whiskey's site posted in the OP to get direct directions from the developer. Basically, the steps are as followed, without going into to much detail, again... go back to the OP and read (I understand, it's hard), Youtube videos will give you a walk-through and/or visit the dev's site.

Basic Steps

-Backup all data (you care about) except for /system data

-Root phone (again, search forum's to find a few different methods for this. if you are on stock 2.1, z4root is the easiest method. google it for a download as it's not in the market any longer.)

-Download ROM Manager from the Market, install ClockWorkRecovery or CWR.

-Enable ClockWorkRecovery (re-installing packages; again search this function to get the full scoop and troubleshooting.)

-Download your ROM of choice. I will say I am entirely impressed with the Team Whiskey ROM's. I have tried many, and so far the Bionix-V has been the best ROM I've tested.

-Reboot into recovery mode, < install zip from SD > find your file, and hit the power button to accept.

Now is the waiting stage. Let the phone do it's thing. Once it's completed, let the phone sit for at least 10 minutes. Som say's 15 in his directives but I can't wait to play with the goodies. REBOOT the ROM after it's fully loaded to work out any kinks it may or may not have.

Using the above method, I haven't had any issues to date with ROM flashing.

Good luck.

[Vibrant Android Development] donalgodon:
It's always puzzled me why so many companies fight to keep development out of the hands of communities like this one, since the serious members here are probably the single greatest product evangelists that anyone could want. It would be smarter to cooperate and make this process easier. Let everything be readily available and think about what it would mean for a company in terms of word of mouth. Everyone who's serious about their product functioning at peak levels would purchase phone X knowing that this kind of development was happening, and even casual users would benefit from the open nature of the process by increased stability and support from the actual software teams without having to hack our way into everything.

I'm new to Android, but it was my understanding that Google's original intent was to make everything totally open source, giving the end user total root level access out of the box and that OEM's nixed it. If any company would just have the balls to let the process truly be open, they'd have my money every-single year on a new phone.

Can anyone help with restoring USER apps with Titanium backup pro with this rom?

I searched and couldn't find an answer. I came from an older bionix rom (2.1 did it back it October). Before I flashed this new rom, I did the usual, nandroid, then backed up approx. 75 user apps with TB.

As far as I can tell all my apps are backed up. But when I go to do a restore "User apps", batch, it seems to speed through the restore and say everything is back.

But when I check out my apps area, nothing is restored. Tried this multiple times along with reboots. I go into TB and look at my backed up user apps and they are there, so I tried to restore them one by one. I can click the app (it has a line through it) and there is no blue restore button next to it.

I'm not sure what is going on, is it because I went from 2.1 to 2.2 rom? I'd rather not go back to the market and reinstall all 75 apps. Everything seems to be there in TB, but it is just not restoring.

Anyone come across this before? Thanks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Seems like you only backed up data and not the app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
It's not the weather.

Anyways I would say go right ahead and flash the tw version right over the top. When I was running Nero v5, I first flashed the tw version, then wanted to try the stock non-tw version. I flashed it right over the top and had no issues. It's the same thing with just a different pre-installed launcher so as long as you have good download files/zips, it should be no big deal.
