Right now I am using Bionix NextGen. But I've flashed Splash of Color over many Team Whiskey Roms (Bionix 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, NextGen, some others also...) and they all had the tone problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Hi guys. I would just like to ask, were you able to use TV out on this ROM? I'm trying to do video out but it doesn't seem to work. I bought a new cable for my phone and it is supposed to work. Help!
[Vibrant Android Development] horseycraze:
It worked for me back when I used this ROM. Try switching the RCA inputs around (i.e. the red, yellow, white plugs) to different combinations, it could be an issue with the cable.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
This rom is just so old. People actually still use this? lol
[Vibrant Android Development] shawayne21:
Old, but stable as a mother lover!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
tried switching the cable, no luck. sigh, the cables are brand new and i'm wondering what's wrong.
[Vibrant Android Development] phenom69:
Its the most stable froyo rom
[Vibrant Android Development] pxc668:
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best kernel for BV 1.3.1, Bali or bullet or overstock?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
Asking again :) does anyone know?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
Bali has been great for me. I use the uv kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
This has been gone over, but the idea is not to recondition the actual battery, but to recondition your phone to "know" your battery.

At first I thought the same thing, until my battery kept draining every 3 hours after flashing a rom that everyone else said they had good batt life on, till i reconditioned my phone to know it better. This may not even be an issue as long as people flash with 100% (which everyone should be doing anyways) not sure, all i know is this works for me on this phone and when I had a behold II (which is where i got this method from eugene) it worked on that too.

Also i have probably done this everytime i have flashed something (almost, sometimes it just doesnt need it or i dont have time between roms) and I havent had an issue yet. I would say at least 50 times. Def at least that, I have soft bricked at least 10 times.

I am sure you probably know a lot more about this than I do but I was given these instructions by other devs (some of som's instructions may have made it into those in my post based on tweaking for best results, little time possible) who I would hope know what they are talking about.

Every battery has a shelf life, the more you recharge it the sooner it will die.
[Vibrant Android Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:
SMS in call log

First off: Big ups to TW for bringing out yet another amazingly fast ROM.

Coming off NeroV5 which I found to be more laggy than v3 (which I loved), I thought everything was great after flashing this ROM in terms of speed and stability.

..until I seen the call logs... It has the damn SMS in the call log history unlike the previous TW ROMS (which makes it so cluttered)!! Is there any way to remove them?? Forgive me if this was covered already, Too many pages to sift through with too little time.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] vapotrini:
+1

Bionix Final can finally RIP, the search is over. I've found it's replacement.

Smooth as silk, 100% stable, fantastic battery life.

Outstanding job TW, I'm finally content.
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
Ok so how do you get clockwork recovery without ROM manager?

Using kernel flasher?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Haha, I just noticed that too. Sucks, but far from a deal breaker. I just figured it was going to stay like that and when nero v5 came out and didnt have it (maybe 4.1 too) I was soooo happy.
[Vibrant Android Development] ThC23:
So out of curiosity I installed the

Dragon kernel v3.1.2 OC

It WORKS! I have it at 1400 max.

Quadrant score around 1720.

I didn't notice much if any difference in speed or Sound which was the reason I did it because I heard it made a difference, but I don’t think so!

Remember every phone is different so this might not work for you!
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
:confused:

.... by holding the power button for a couple seconds until the boot screen comes up. Then simply puch the button that says recovery. (not reboot, power off or download, or silent and whatever else is on there, just RECOVERY)

It said that in the post you were responding to. Also the first person who answered you. I figured it might have been a little too vague though since you kept asking, haha.
[Vibrant Android Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:
The problem with it is that if you are a big texter (like i am) you have to scroll for days just to find a number that wasn't in your contact list rendering the call log almost useless. You have to click view by -> sent messages -> menu -> delete -> check all -> delete .... then repeat the same for received messages. I find myself doing it at least twice a day.

Because of this problem, I refrained from using Axura's ROMs because it's where I first encountered this. All was great until something happened switching to Bionix V vs Nero. Does anyone know what's different between the ROMs that would make this happen?
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
No, when ROM manager is downloaded you still have to flash clockworkmod recovery. Without that you are stuck with stock recovery. Perhaps my question is more regarding a stock upgrade or I dont understand how you get the green or red recovery menu to begin with.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I dont know but I would actually like an answer to this also. I do the same thing and use the call log more than anything else, because my contacts list is so long and i usually only call the same people i just go straight to call log and its right there. No squeezing my finger to the edge of the contact list, carefully, so i can scroll to the letter of the persons name, only to jump a letter when i take my finger off so i still have to scroll up 20 names.... you get the picture, I like my call log to be useful as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
You use the power menu option "Recovery"

Press the power button for a couple of seconds and the power menu pops up.

It's the 6th item on the list.

When you get to the red recovery menu there are several new options including enable-disable voodoo.

To install a a rom choose "Install zip from SDcard" then select the zip you want. vol up and down to scroll through options use power button to select.

Badabing-badaboom your done except the phone won't reboot itself. You need to select reboot after the message "install complete"

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Lets start over

First thing is you can download cwm recovery without rom manager, there is just an option to do it in the rom manager app. If you do a search for it you can probably download the update.zip specific to the vibrant. Then GO (i put flash first) to stock recovery and run update.zip TWICE.

If you flashed this rom, I am pretty sure that you will have recovery, though not certain.
[Vibrant Android Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:
Yea, this is how I generally rely on my call log as well, I always click on the call log to call someone i frequently call, I only go to the contact list (or my starred list) if I don't see their name in the first couple scrolls - I love having quick access to everything.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Oh and most importantly, once you have CWM recovery, the update.zip STAYS on your sd card. Even after you flash something, so it is always there.

If you flash this rom just go to recovery from the power menu like i told you, then you will reboot to a red recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
You may already know this but you can click the menu button when in the call log and select different views such as dialed, missed, received etc..
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
Gotcha, thats where I was confused. I was thinking you needed ROM manager but actually you just need the update zip to flash. Makes more sense now. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] fos317:
Aswome rom TW for ever!
[Vibrant Android Development] tigernight:
happened to me and had to send it to samsung today .
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I use Dolphin HD and Bookmarks to SD and have no problem.

There's also Dolphin mini,which I've never tried.
[Vibrant Android Development] ajftl:
My gps wont lock.at all. But that's with almost any rom. I thing this phone gps broken
[Vibrant Android Development] manus ferrera:
Overstock definitely I felt it to be more responsive
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
The best combination I've found,is Bali 1.8.8 and KB5 modem.

I'm currently using that with 1.3.2 and lovin it.
[Vibrant Android Development] radicalgel:
Voodoo not supported

I just flashed Bionix 1.3.1 and when I open voodoo control it say kernel not supported. I thought 1.3.1 come with a voodoo supported kernel. That's what the description says. What am I missing?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
has anyone else tried to use the tv out from this rom? im using bionix 1.3.1 with bali x kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
It's a Stock kernel with Voodoo lagfix... and that's it. No Voodoo sound or video. For that you will have to flash a kernel that supports Voodoo sound and video like Overstock or Bali

From the OP...
[Vibrant Android Development] arby80:
The tvout works for me. I can play movies on my Challengers in dash stereo.
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
GPS Wont work

I just came back from ICS to Bionix and now the GPS won't find any satalites. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Leafy_duk:
Did you odin back to stock and make sure to do a complete wipe?
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
Yes I did ODIN and then a complete wipe. After I installed Bionix I re-installed a back up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Leafy_duk:
Did you do the wipe with odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
Yes I did wipe with Odin
[Vibrant Android Development] Leafy_duk:
well I dont know what to tell you then. Back when I used this rom the gps worked just fine. Not the best rom but it was the best for the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Have you tried without restoring that nandroid backup? Oh and after ODIN, did you wipe /system? Could be some remnant file...GPS works wonderfully here ever since I paid a bit for some soldering (11-12 birds). Before that, it suddenly stopped working (no birds whatsoever). Best of lucks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
I re-installed the rom without the backup and the GPS works. Must have been something with the back up
[Vibrant Android Development] DR-EVIL23:
What's the best Kernel for this rom? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
I use overstock
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
Hi guys, im back yet again on to this rom. SO SMOOOOOOOOTH. I just use the default kernel and it works fine for me. Long battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Logic|:
How much are you getting? I can get 25-30 hours a charge running Bali-X at 1.2ghz and a moderate UV. This is with medium use of course. I get around 17-20 hours with intense use.
[Vibrant Android Development] supazonique:
waddup...its been a long time since i used bionix 131, was wondering what mods or scripts or whatever is good to add on?
[Vibrant Android Development] DataGov:
I took a detour from Bionix to try out Onecosmic's ICS beta3, RC1, and RC2. It is a good effort and it might be perfect when that team is done. But its not as smooth and reliable as this ROM.

Very glad to be back.
[Vibrant Android Development] aaronhiep:
You should try out passion, using it right now and it is pretty smooth
[Vibrant Android Development] phrozenflame:
Battery Life:

Internet and GPS were off tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
I prefer bullet from biwinning rom stable and fast at 1.26gz not 1.48gz
[Vibrant Android Development] nealante:
I love Bionix!!!! But ics passion v10 oc'd 1300... is way smoother!
[Vibrant Android Development] moeahmad1995:
Just flashed this. Its awesome
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
This rom is just like the old school tonka trucks

This rom is just like the old school tonka trucks - built to last! and too bad they dont make them like this any more. Every thing on this rom is flawless & GPS is rock solid along with data / bluetooth / the whole look and feel. No wonder why this is just the largest thread on the Vibrant forums. :D

Kudos to The Team Whisky :D Second to None
[Vibrant Android Development] :
i'm having troubles using lookout on this rom. i've been trying to use the scream/locate function but it doesn't work until i open the lookout app. uninstalled apps like go sms, battery saving apps, but issue still persists. does it have something to do with the pre installed task manager? which i believe closes the app when it's on sleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Logic|:
I've had similar problems with lookout and also prey taking a REALLY long time to find me or simply not finding me at all. I have no idea why :(
[Vibrant Android Development] daohoa:
this ROM brings back a lot of memories to me
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
this is still the most stable rom... thanks to Samsung and T-Mobile for ****ing us over
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Been researching about this for quite some time but still no luck. Anyone can answer our concern? Tv out doesnt work for me too. O dont know if it has something to do with bali kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
If i remember correctly I think it does... try flash the Stock KB1 w/Voodoo kernel - LINK... may help
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
I was going to post a 1 Day 22 Hour Screen but nvm lol. Yeah the batt life on this thing owns all. Stock Kernel for me~
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Try Bali 1.8.8uv... Runs smoother and will add more Batt life
[Vibrant Android Development] fscussel:
i've tried that exact bali and didn't find neither better battery life or performance over stock =/

has anyone tried the new ICS roms? is the battery life at least similar to that of bionix?
[Vibrant Android Development] DataGov:
I tried ICS Passion v7 and Onecosmic's ICS ROM. Both were stable with some functional omissions - no GPS, limited video recording, inconsistent bluetooth, and slowdowns over time. Battery life was about 18-24 hours in normal use, and neither rom was as smooth or reliable as Bionix 1.3.1.

I wouldn't bother switching unless you have a lot of time and are bored.
[Vibrant Android Development] fscussel:
is seems they have fixed most of that now.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
i'm trying to change my 2 Gb external sd card with a 8 Gb one, but the phone cannot see it and even the internal sd is not seen. anyone here knowing about a fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] samdroid959:
Try mount/unmount
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
did it and not working...i found similar threads here but not any fix...seems to be a lag on 2.2 roms
[Vibrant Android Development] OldeCrow:
odin the froyo bootloader if you have been messing with GB builds, oden back to stock, flash 1.3.1 again, don't restore crap from a backup it just screws up your phone...

If you still can't see you internal or external sd's after odin back to stock, your in trouble...
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Agreed. I was pretty disappointed to see TW moving on from the Vibrant.

I was really hoping to find that they were working on an ICS build for us.
[Vibrant Android Development] supazonique:
Does anyone know how I can remove the clock from the status bar? I can only toggle am/pm.

sent from omicron persei 8
[Vibrant Android Development] OldeCrow:
Flash Trigger from EDT, flash a GB theme over it, now you have the am/pm toggle...
[Vibrant Android Development] supazonique:
thanks crow I can't wait to try that one.

sent from omicron persei 8
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
ZenDroid 2.1.2 and GB theme will do the same thing ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] trunkstar1:
I've been running Bionix v 1.3.1 pretty much for a year straight... I decided tonight to format everything and go back to stock just to clear out ghosts etc. I glanced at somet of the other ROM threads for about 5 minutes and I'm re-flashing Bionix v 1.3.1 again because it was just that good. Although... I've gotten pretty used to not using GPS. I can't remember if I broke that myself flashing kernels or radios, or if that was just a Samsung thing, or what. Maybe it'll work this time.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
GPS on the Vibrant, in general, is OK at best. It may be better on a new flash but chances are... it is what it is... :(

You can try GPSrestore made by Samsung Mobile from the market... most of the time it will put your GPS back in working order
[Vibrant Android Development] GenTsoChkn:
I've flashed a few ROMs and had been with TW ones for a long time. I've noticed that I can flash and not get GPS to work at all and flash again and it will work. My suggestion would be get back to stock and flash up from there. bootloader through odin and kernel and rom
[Vibrant Android Development] trunkstar1:
I remember downloading some GPS Fix type apps a while ago... are any of those still recommended?
[Vibrant Android Development] kurplop:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11736546

sgps!
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Before flashing that... run GpsRestore by Samsung from the market... then flash
[Vibrant Android Development] chichu_9:
Install this file. It will take 3 minutes completely boot after you flash this file, because it clears your Dalvik Cache.

[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Would anyone be interested in an updated Bionix V v1.3.1?

By updated, I mean updated Google apps, a few Build Prop tweaks, faster GB themed Launcher, Bali 1.8.8uv, KB5 modem and a few other changes I like.

I take no credit for anything... It's still Bionix 1.3.1, just more up to date and with changes I like.

If any one is interested, post so.
[Vibrant Android Development] Richcar:
Sure would love to have another version along side this (original) version
[Vibrant Android Development] idiosyncrisia:
I would be, and if you could fix the clock by making it be able to be set manually, that'd be awesome. I hate having to add 6 hours every time I look at it.
[Vibrant Android Development] fscussel:
why everyone here use 1.3.1 and not the bionix NG V2? I believe the NG is the last effort of TW.
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Because 1.3.1 or the 1.3.2 test roms are the last Sombionix worked on.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
+1...why not? For the moment is the only Rom that my Vibrant is happy with
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I've been using Bali1.8.8uv and KB5 modem,for sometime,and loving it.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
OK, for anyone wanting to try it... here it is.

Bionix v1.3.1 FishmanMod

This IS Bionix v1.3.1... I take NO credit... All I did was update it and make a few changes.

Updated Google Apps to latest

Bali v1.8.8uv (Voodoo enable)

KB5 Modem

Removed Min Mem tweak and added Juwe11 Ram Manager app (works much better)

Add LG G2x Launcher, GB themed (seems to match the speed and feel of Bionix better)

Replaced Bionix v1.3.1 dialer with the one from Bionix v1.3.2test... it opens faster

Removed Samsung Alarm Clock and replaced with AOSP... because I like it better

Add TW4Manager.apk for anyone wanting to install the TW4 Launcher

... and a few more things I forget.

Download.... LINK

Updated a few sound files I forgot to change,

Install Stuff... pretty standard.

Boot into clockwork recovery

Perform a factory reset, wipe data/cache

Select the zip file and flash.

Clean Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvic Cache

Fix Permissions

reboot.

go through setup and get to the Desktop

let it sit for 10 mins.... reboot

after reboot finishes, go into the app draw and open 'Ram Manager"

Allow SU, select "Balance", click "Non-killable Launcher" and then "CONFIRM"

Enjoy...
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:
I will try later...and thanks for sharing
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Flashed as per instructions.When I try to open music player,I get "Not enough memory" error message.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Odd, works fine here... I didn't change anything from the original Bionix in regards to stuff like that. Maybe a bad flash

Is anyone else having that issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] ucantak3dis:
Seems good to me, nice update on the ROM. Will try later tonight after work. Quick question, why not 1.3.2 instead of 1.3.1, is it just your preference or 1.3.2 not stable? I don't mean that question in a bad if anyone takes it like that. Is a great thing you updated some things on this ROM mod of yours. 2 thumbs up to you.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
The UI is a little more snappy... smoother with v1.3.1 then v1.3.2test. When Som said he found the "Sweet Spot" with this rom... he really did.

v1.3.2test was never really finish... not as polished as v1.3.1
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Odined to stock JFD,downloaded again,this time,at home on computer(first download was at work,to phone),reflashed and all is well.

Thanks fishman
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Glad it all worked out well for you... :D
[Vibrant Android Development] EvilAldo:
I was running bionix for a long time as well. I tried bi winning to try a 2.2.1, but the GPS ended up sucking. I decided I like the EDT roms so I went with trigger in the end. Dude! I can lock 8 satellites indoors! This GPS was way better than bionix ever was! Battery life is great, it's like I had a brand new phone!
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Odd, Bi-Winning is EDT and has the same GPS fixes as Trigger... Hell, Romanbb built Trigger and co-built Bi_winning 2. The GPS tweaks makes locking fast not better. So unless you did the hardware fix... indoor locking just ain't happening

It all boils down to... GPS is just OK, at best, on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
I just flashed this from stock, I was a long time TW user before I started down the ICS road, so I thought I would put my spare vibrant on my old favorite, only issue I have is that my pictures which I have stored on my ext sd do not show up. They just have a little key hole type icon, folders and even the picture frames are there though. Any suggestions I'm rusty on bionix.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Try installing SGS Tools LINK

save to int or ext SD, install

Open and click "Apply script"

scroll down and click "clean_thumb_db.txt"

... it may reboot on its own... if not, reboot after it's done.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl!
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
No worky. Any other ideas? Maybe a reflash would help?
[Vibrant Android Development] ou814us2:
Anyone have a build prop with all the tweaks already in that they would like to share????
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Yes... in my ver... you can pull it from the rom and push it to /system

... or you can try my ver... ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ou814us2:
Thats what i was hoping...waiting for the d/l to finish so i can extract it....

I am on ics passion this is for my wife....and she loves the t/w launcher so just trying to update it for her. Thanks!
