True, so I ask you guys, would you like to see its continued development or would you like to see it leave with Brick'd?
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
i think this rom should be continued as it was goin with all the minimum bloat on there , i do love slick and slim roms that i can mod my self ether one bricked or loki . loki is a child of bricked :P
[Vibrant Android Development] GuestK00233:
why would i use this over nero or bionix?
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
No one says you should. Only way to find out is to flash it. Many Devs. Many different roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
That's between your team and Brick. Were just a bunch a squeralls trying to get a nut.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Definetly continued. Brick'd did a great job with this rom. Sorry thing kind of spiraled out of control. It was never my intent to be a participant in the madness of the other thread. Its no longer a matter of whose right or wrong so I want to take this opportunity to say "im sorry for the part I played in this. I never thought it was worthy of so much attention from the start. Brick'd if you look in the other thread before things got off track you'll note that it was only posittive vibes given by me concerning your work. Once again it takes. A real man to apologize so my apologies to you brick'd for any misunderstanding we may have had. Keep up the good work! Peace:):)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
statement retracted
[Vibrant Android Development] GuestK00233:
id like to try this rom but the description dosnt tell me whats so great about it.If you use this rom what do you like about it?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
All updated but the screenshots, getting those now.
[Vibrant Android Development] zeer.row:
so has anyone actually flashed it yet? thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
@ Br1cK'd, Nice to have you back.

Very nice bare bones ROM. Sleek, efficient and elegant. I like the whole "BYOB" feel of it. None of those empty calories.

Keep up the great work and Thank you.

no file explorer ??

Then how to install app ??
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
grap one from the market :D

AOSP=no stock file explorer

this isnt twiz or CM lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
Battery life isn't as good for me with the Kb1 modem. Unplugged at 7:00am with a full charge, and now at 10:15am I'm down to 70%. The modem is great though. Data is quick and gps locks in like 15 seconds. I might go back to the KA6 modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
yes ka6 ka7 modem works the same and consumes less battery but hows ka8 works for gps ? maybe its main reason they released to fix gps issues but still ka7 is the way to go for me so if u dont like ka8 flash ka7 without a problem it wont brk anything:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
You mean kb1? Gps was good for me. And I know I can flash modems without any worries. Not my first time at the rodeo. But thanks for the heads up!
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Read back a few pages for my notes on why I didn't include one ;)

No bartek, this is a slim as it gets right now. 119Mb is pretty slim compared to others. And remember the issues you had with the other slimmed down version, not going to base this rom like that.

I'm seeing a bit more drain than KA6 as well, but not nearly what KA7 gave us, and I'm digign the GPS on the KB1

Of course you're all welcome to mod this rom, pre-installation, as you see fit, but if your own mods cause hiccups, you may want to try the rom in its pure form. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Wait, you're in the wrong place Mr. Nexus S. :eek:

Lol, hows that workin for ya?
[Vibrant Android Development] plane501:
i do have the root explorer ......i mean how can i install it without a file explorer ?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You have to go download one from the market. AOSP does not come with a file explorer, and as this started as an AOSP clone, I decided to leave it out as this build carried on. I've answered this a couple of times in different places, but one more time for old times sake. I left it out intentionally to give everyone that good old "Oh **** I have to dl a file explorer" AOSP feeling.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
Download astro file manager from the market. You can install apks with it. Astro is my go to file management app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Astro is good, but I found it too bulky for my tastes. I use Linda Manager, and Linda also includes the option to enable all browser downloads like Astro does. IO File Explorer is a good file manager for basic functionality as well. I think the point of all of it is, try different ones, and see what works for you.

Dan, you been getting your learn on?
[Vibrant Android Development] plane501:
thanks,Br1cK'd

sorry,i'm new to android :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
it's all gravy plane. we are here to help each other out. any questions, feel free to ask.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
I am. I have the stock kb1 on my laptop at home. Started stripping the bloat and just looking through all the folders and files. I have some good ideas as to what I want to do with my build. I will send you a pm with details.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Do it up bro! If you haven't noticed, I haven't released a Br1cK'd build thats stock with no bloat for the KB1, and people really liked those builds, but with the PC acting upa t home my dev time is limited (New Board tomorrow I'm excited!) Maybe that could be your first release, of course branded with whatever you desire, not sure I'll be doing those again, would feel like I'm cheating on Loki. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
Brick- I may need help with identifying what can be stripped out of the build while still keeping it safe and stable.
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
swype?

Trying to install swype, keeps telling me it's not registered. Tried to register it and it says my device is unknown....

Where can I "identify" the device? I remember there being a file I could fat-finger for this...

Or better yet, anyone know where I can find the naked black swype?

Already searched this forum, going to the theme next, just thought I'd ask...

Love the rom, I am looking at how I can theme it for myself, and get the apps I want installed...

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Unzip Loki and do a side by side comparison of the apps folder.

To reinstall swype and make it work, you have to also reinstall the SwypeCore lib file that I stripped out of this rom. It can be readded by flashing the build.prop and lib restore from the op. You will still need to push the apk as well. If its not working past that, I refer to my disclaimer and further info, if its not in the build, its not in the build. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] miguelmondo:
Another option is to register for the swype beta and use their installer. I like the beta version more than what came installed on my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] miguelmondo:
lol please don't! You have done an awesome job with this ROM so far!
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
Thanks to those who replied about swype...i found a package that installed everything needed. I'm swyping right now!

Now to get into this whole theming bit...
[Vibrant Android Development] illego:
Swype is also available in ACS in Jdanisevich's repository in multiple colors.
[Vibrant Android Development] heldc:
Is this working for you? I installed the swype beta (after flashing the lib zip) and it keeps FCing.
[Vibrant Android Development] alpinestar:
I flashed Loki v1-3 last night and been loving it, keep up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Out of curiosity, and to help out some others, (personally I detest Swype) can you let us know where you found that package?

[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Another choice,that I use,is AndroZip.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Here you are Brick'd.

http://beta.swype.com/

It's a very nice version,but you have to make sure you uninstall Swype app and lib,if it's in whatever rom your using and then reboot before installing the beta version.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Delete Swype app and lib,reboot,then install beta.

The libSwypeCore you flashed is not compatible with the beta version
[Vibrant Android Development] rmarquez1974:
I used blue blackout swype I found in the themes forum. I flashed it with CWM. It doesn't match the rom but I'm trying to theme loki. If needed I can put it in my drop box and post a link...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
Testing out Eugene's test 23 with 1.3. This time, instead of voodoo, im trying overkill jfs. So far so good. Flashed last night without a hitch. No sleep issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
sick rom yo, best rom since bricked ka6 :>
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
thanks bud, working on some new changes, new pc should be up and running today, looking to maybe release a new build next week sometime ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
new pc niceee i got to ditch the laptop for sng faster like dektop too just got to save for it , and next weeek awwwwhhh come one at lest weekend ! lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I haven't had a working pc at home all week and still mananged to put out the KB1 based build. Patience is a virtue my friend, as this weekend (Super Bowl and all) is gonna be a busy one. Rome was not built in a day my friend.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
all i can say is worth a wait :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I hope so.... lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] eldrid:
THE BEST lag free experience ever with loki 1.3 + Eugenes test kernel 28 with JFS enabled. With EXT4 i still experienced some lag in heavy applications like the phonebook or during window transition animations. all is gone! once eugene fixes the EX sd card mount issue im settling in on this and the KA6 modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
Ready to try this one out and have two questions:

1. After I flash the libs for wifi calling, do I then just push the apk to appropriate folder?

2. Is there a mirror for the libs file? I never have any luck with trying to get files off the download services to my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
I finally got the build.prop file.downloaded. Just to confirm, if I currently have Voodoo enabled, I do NOT have to disable it before I flash, is that correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You shouldn't have to disable voodoo. And yes, you will have to push the apk to the system/app folder as well, I did not include the WiFi Calling apk in that package.
[Vibrant Android Development] shoong512:
i was wondering if you can post the original wallpaper you had when you first flash it (it was new york i believe). I also think this question was asked before, i tried looking for it but couldn't find it. If it was already been posted i apologize, please guide me to post #
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenjcarney:
I was shocked when I first installed it and saw this wallpaper, because I have been using it on B-V haha

Here you go:
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Thanks for posting that, and I think the mystery of what city it is may have been solved. First to correct something I said pages ago, its called City Lights, not City of Lights, and a good friend picked out the dark tower on the left side of the image and declared it to be the Sears Tower, so we may be looking at Chicago.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenjcarney:
Yeah, definitely the Sears Tower. I was going to mention that when someone said it was New York. It's a great picture though. I love it
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Please read updated OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
will the glasstopia theme from flagship work with this or not.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
*thumbs up*
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Sorry for the amount of time of getting back to you.. Becasue of my battery drain using bionix-v-1.2, I wanted to go back to Loki v1-3 (which has totally AWESOME battery life!). I flashed a fresh install of Loki v1-3, and also moved the build.prop files to the respected directories using RootExplorer. I didn't move the lib file retore files though. But, I'm still having bluetooth dialing out issues. It like the voice comand app is stuck in "Starting Up" mode.

Ill re-flash Loki and instead of moving the build.prop and lib file restore, I'll just use clockworkrecovery and flash them there. Is that what you meant when you asked be to flash the files?
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Okay, I re-downloaded Loki v1-3 rom (to make sure), and preformed a fresh re-flash by following the instructions at the beginning of the thread. I then followed your advice and flashed in recovery the "Loki_1-3PropAndLibRestore.zip", then rebooted.

It seems that the Bluetooth dialing out is broken in this rom. It get stuck with the Bluetooth Voice Dialer prompt reading "Starting Up" and staying there.

I really like the fluidity of this rom, and how it doesn't eat up battery. It also seems to get smoother the more you use it.

Is anyone else having this issue, or is it just my Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
jellette, I think I'll be taking back over the thread on this next build I've been working on, should let you be able to focus on other stuff, and will kill any confusion.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I'll see what I can do to troubleshoot this for future builds. Sorry the Lib restore didn't work. This is sourced from stock KB1, and should be the same functionally as KB1 is. Again, I'll see if I can get it fixed in the build I'm currently working on, although I am working two jobs this week, so time is limited to dev, but that will be on my list. Thanks for your patience. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] dvno:
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that it is the John Hancock building, not the sears tower (or Willis Tower as it is named now ). Either way this Rom rocks and the Einherjar Dev Team is by far the best around.
[Vibrant Android Development] Buickguy:
Close, I belive the sky scraper on the left is the "John Hancock Center". The tallest one on the right would be the "Aon Center". The picture looks like it was actually taken from the "Willis Tower" (previously the "Sears Tower").

Looks like I'm a bit late... should have refreshed ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Thanks for hashing that out for us y'all. I had no idea, was going off what a friend told me. Mystery solved!

[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
and can we get additional quiz and puzzle with the next release of rom => like something hiden for us to find ::))
[Vibrant Android Development] eldrid:
so theres no real update?
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevenjcarney:
Or, a mystery picture!
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I think you are referring to when jellette posted he updated the OP, that was purely for the big note he put at the top of it. There is an updated Loki pending, but still have some more work to do on it. Its coming, I've jutt been working a whole lot this week so time has been limited.

Thinking of dropping an easter egg or two into the next build, if time allows.
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Your doing a good job Br1cK'd, im sporting the Liking v1-3 now. Im working around the whole bluetooth dialing out issue, because this rom is worth it.

I give you BIG kudos!
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
I have noticed a hitch since flashing this ROM. Might be specific to me. The Navigation App alwys gets stuck when trying to disply the route. It gets stuck on Getting Driving Directions. I have done some testing and found that I can use the Maps App and the GPS works fine. I can search for a destination and get driving directions just fine. I can display the route on the map and follow my Arrow from my location to the destination just fine. But if I try to use Driving Navigation, the system pulls up the Navigation App and gets stuck at Getting driving directions. Has anyone else fixed anything like this? I haven't seen this behavior on any of the other ROMS I have tested. Thanks All
[Vibrant Android Development] irockstar661:
Not bashing any rom at all, but I am curious as to why this rom (seeing how it is KB1 based) continues to give me a better reception versus the flagship. I do believe that they are both running same modem...or am I missing something I dont quite understand?
[Vibrant Android Development] Keslynn:
I am having this issue as well. I'm using Waze until there's a fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
What Bionix has for APNs was something I suggested to Viral a long time back and is basically a copy of apns from the i9000, which has more apns than what TMo would want to offer.

It was first brought by Eugene on Macnut, much before TW, though I could be wrong there...

Sent from Bionix 1.2 high on Voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
WAZE!! (Smacks Forehead). Should have thought of that. Works very well too. Thanks for the hint. Maybe the devs will contact me or post if they want some details to follow up on the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I didn't change a thing about the navigation app, its what came with this stock, i'll add it to the troubleshooting list for the build i'm working on now, no promises, but it will be addressed.

unsure of what modem flagship is currently using, I have been working two jobs this week and have barely had time to catch up on this thread, let alone everything else going on out there. this does have the KB1 Modem

This is also on the list.

Sorry I've been delayed in this new build y'all, but I want it to be great, and have been busy busy with work. Almost done with the theming and tweaking things out, thanks for bringing the new bugs to my attention, and reminding me about a couple of older ones to address. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] illego:
I am not getting notification for voicemail. Anyone else having this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
To those having issues with the Navigation App. I just tested it out on the way to job number 2, and did not have a problem. I used both the navigation app itself, and it showed me the driving directions without hanging. Also, used Maps to set my location and then give me navigation and driving directions via the nav app, and it worked flawlessly. The only thing I can think would be different from stock, is that I flashed masters gps fix last week. Can you guys give that a shot and let me know if it fixes it for you. Thanks.

Didnt even notice the voicemail notification issue, I'm having it as well. Not sure what the root of that could be, but I will definitely be addressing that as well.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah i had the same problem as others with the GPS Navigation. It would not work so i changed roms because i use that all the time. I didnt try Masters gps fix, didnt have time to. But other than the GPS Nav not working this Rom is greatly themed and very nice.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Should try Masters GPS Fix on top of this, its in the build I'm working on now, and the Nav is flawless.

**Voicemail Notification Issue**

Thanks to jumaaneface for a heads up on this one. Visual Voicemail is a good workaround for the issue, at least for those of us on Tmo networks. Seems other KB1 builds are having this issue as well, if anyone has an overall fix, I would be very grateful for the info. In the meantime, enjoy a little preview of the new build. Visual Voicemail, and I dare you to find any pink. Enjoy.

Edited - if you allow this to update, it will turn back to pink and blue, jsut uncheck the auto update attribute for this app in the market, and you can keep the grey.
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
I have searched for Masters GPS fix, googled Masters GPS fix and pulled up Masters account info here and tried looking for anything listed as a GPS fix. I cannot seem to find it. Can anyone point me to it? I'll be happy to give it a test run as soon as I find it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
Thanks. Reflashing (for good measure), will test everything fresh. Including the the gps fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
Wow! Now that's s fix! Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
I reflashed and still had the problem. I flashed the gpsandsnsfix.zip and my phone is still sitting at "Getting driving directions". Well they aren't ALL identical I guess.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
The only other thing I can think of is, are you turning on Wireless location with your gps? Its hard for me to troubleshoot a problem I'm not having unfortunately. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
Brick, check your pm.
[Vibrant Android Development] engineer14:
so, in terms of speed and responsiveness, how does this compare to flagship v4 final?
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
I'm not using this rom, but I think I can solve your gps issue, this is how I got it working. Follow these steps, you should get instant lock

Delete maps, clear data etc...

Get the maps 4.5 apk and install it, turn off auto updating, you want it stuck on 4.5.

Go into location settings and select only find by gps, make sure no wifi our sensor.

Turn off wifi if you have it on, make sure gps is on and run samsung gps restore. After it locks close it.

Open maps, don't change the settings, just click the thing on the top right of the screen to find you, once it is done close it

Click the blue triangle icon to open navigation. Should lock almost instant.

You should be outside on your first set up, but once set up you should get lock inside your house. Attached is the maps apk you need, make sure to delete the old first. Its flashable or just pull the apk out.

test the fix with gps test or something, you'll see a big improvement
