Yeah i think its about time i get one i think some of the phones came with bad batteries. every since iv tried the first rounds of kernals i havent got the same battery life as some. while others drained similar to mine and other drain super fast.

a guy who was draining fast got a new battery then his new battery drained at a rate similar to the people who had better battery life than i did. mine is draining at a speed faster than it used to be so ill try a new battery soon and see if anything changes

Frost

Yes, there was a mention by krylon that it would be out yesterday, but now sombionix has it (according to a krylon360 tweet) doing some graphics updates/or changes. Be patient it will be released when they are ready to. And when it is released you know it will be right. Besides we've only had 1.2.1 for less than a week....
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
I know the frost come with the white theme 2.2.1

But will there a bionix Ginger theme 2.2.1 coming up?
[Vibrant Android Development] Wearespacepeople:
Surprised about the feedback for 1.2.1, I haven't had any issues, just improvements.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Frost is going to be the introduction to Android 2.2.1. It will not be the only theme out after a short while. It will also be out when it is ready.

I am one who will always give at least a couple of days before I even remotely begin to wonder if a particular rom is buggy, and I have to admit like the others, battery life and a few other issues has come to my attention with 1.2.1.

After three complete discharges, I have noticed a significant battery loss with this rom compared to the previous one, and I always keep GPS, data sync, and background data turned off.

That being said, I am very thankful for all of the work Team Whiskey puts into these projects, and look forward to Frost.
[Vibrant Android Development] OldeCrow:
And I was just thinking today on it's third discharge cycle that battery life seemed to be much more "normal" compared to the first two cycles. :o

bionix v

I don't know why people say that when from the very beginning, the dev has developed it with the idea keeping battery use minimal. Anyway, I have my alerts time-out after fifteen minutes. There are other ways to time-out alerts, (the proximity sensor) but I just set a time limit. And it is off at night when I am asleep.:)

I agree with this. This being the first Vibrant custom ROM i have flashed i dont really have anything to compare it to but stock, but i can still say its a vast improvement IMO. Not having any battery issue after hours of heavy use im only at 75%. GPS even seems better. I dont drift around as much as i use to on stock even without the GPS Restore. Truly a great ROM, cant wait for the next.
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
To me this rom is by far TW best so far!! The only thing I did was flash the kb1 rom. Its the most stable for me. I unplugged my phone today at 6:30am and I'm at 46% . I use it all day long for calls and data. That's really good I think. I can't wait for the next update cause they keep getting better and better. Awesome work TW!!

You need a fresh install from any ROM to Bionix-V 1.2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] DKM119:
Ok so I have this problem, there is a update for superuser on the market but everytime I try to update it fails so I try to uninstall the current superuser on the phone (i have try using root explorer and astro) and I'm unable to do it.

Anybody has a solution for this?

I'm also having the same battery results as others (on idle the battery is good but when I use the phone out decreases very fast) however I did a fresh re-flash last night and I'm gonna wait for some battery cycles for more results.
[Vibrant Android Development] T3chDad:
No you don't. I flashed right over Bionix-V 1.0 just fine. No problems here.

Thanks for all your work Team Whiskey!
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
No, you don't need to go back to stock. You can flash over your current ROM. Just be sure to back up your third party applications with titanium back up, that way you can reinstall your current applications after you flash Bionix 1.2.1.
[Vibrant Android Development] muchelaguito:
BUT! you need to wipe user data from recovery first, basically, return the ROM to "fresh" without any user info.
[Vibrant Android Development] ohmyggg:
Team Whiskey ROMs wipe unless otherwise specified (e.g., 1.2 had a "non-wiping" option). In other words, you do not need to manually wipe data in recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
Bionix 1.2.1 is a wipe ROM that is going to wipe your user data, is good to wipe your Dalvic cache, but not really critical.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
No you don't.

All TW ROMs (sans Bionix-V 1.2 for a test) wipe data/cache/and dalvik cache to ensure as few problems as possible and to streamline the process for the end user.
[Vibrant Android Development] muchelaguito:
I stand corrected. Thanks People! This actually makes it so much easier for me =)

Back when this was a common problem this is what someone did to resolve it (as I remember). He removed his external SD card and placed it into his PC. He backed up all the files into a folder on the PC then wiped and reformatted the SD card. He replaced it into the phone after restoring the files and it worked. Hope this does it for you.:D

Edit: I have a dual-boot system on my laptop and both Windows and Ubuntu load and read each card fine. I can also move files freely with both.

all you need to do is adb push path:\to\bootanimation.zip /system/media/

This will overwrite the bootanimation that we include with Bionix.

If that doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the cfg script within the bootanimation you are pushing to the phone.

[Vibrant Android Development] Trets:
Hi TW et al.,

I just re-flashed Bionix-v 1.2 (on a fresh Odin'd stock ROM) to get rid of the gallery duplicates. So far so good.

Other observations:

I tried out Eugene's "Dead Horse" Kernel because of the BLN support. Working really nicely. And, I flashed the KB1 Modem b/c I read somewhere that GPS works well. Experience: GPS locks in under 10s, with great precision (<10m). However, it seems that Battery goes down quite fast (and YES, I know about conditioning/waiting several cycles etc), even though I set 'setCPU' to 200min / 1000max, 'on demand'-- so no overclocking.

Soooo--- my most dearest TW's, is there a chance to include a BLN-supporting Kernel into the next release? ...or modding a standard Kernel to support BLN?

Can someone recommend a Kernel/ROM/Modem combo that supports BLN, is stable AND not a drainer? My thought behind using setCPU was not to push the processor to 1400, but instead throttle it down to ~100 or 200MHz when the phone is not in use, and use the normal 1000MHz in other times. Basically to increase battery life without cutting down the 'normal' performance.

Thanks guys, and greets from SF.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jay2487:
I've found a few things funny and couldn't find solutions.

1)When I hit the power button to bring up the unlock screen from screen off, if I happen to hit it twice, making me have to hit it a third time to bring the unlock back up, sometimes it just freezes black and I have to pull the battery. Has anyone else experienced this?

2)Sometimes when I'm using the stock browser, it will give me the no connection retry later message with a RETRY and an OK button, but the page will continue to load fine in the background, everything seems to work fine but the error message still pops up. If you hit retry it just pops up again, if you hit ok it goes away until the next page loads then it comes back. I have to reboot to stop this.

and lastly but the most painful

3)Every time I reboot or turn off when I come back on some of my home app icons are gone. The apps aren't just the home screen icon. One time it'll be a certain 4, then I'll replace them, then next time I reboot it's a completely different group of apps that leave my home screen.

If anyone has any solutions for these they would be greatly appreciated:)
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
+1 on this...

-I did end up putting my SetCPU settings to 200-400 for the night time, with Data Network "Off"

-then back to 200-1000 for my drive to (and from) work and 200-800 for the day as it sits on my desk. --thanks so much TW!
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
if you haven't already...

--do read a couple of the last pages on the DoW14 thread. I've seen a bunch of folks who are putting it through its paces with DoW14 on full blast. Many say good things, some have OC problems, so they complain. I tried it and in the end, I chose the battery life over the OC capabilities and returned to stock.

-good luck to you. :cool:

Not sure how byt3 is getting his 40+ hours...

--but I can tell you that I'm using Bionix-v, with Voodoo. enabled. I have SetCPU at 200-1000 when I'm out and about and usually have Data "On". Otherwise, I turn data "Off" and run it at 200-800 for most of my work day. I drop it to 200-400 at night.

I make/receive about 12-20 phone calls (under 1 minute to 25 mins.) and approx. 20-50 texts in a day. I answer/write 10-15 work emails and probably am on the internet 30 mins.

On the ride to and from work (45-75 mins each way), I've got either music playing (stock player) or streaming something (radio.com or tunein radio). I have between 60-70 apps in the drawer.
