What I noticed but haven't seen mentioned, the Media Scanner takes much longer than usual to finish. This is with or without an external SD card inserted. So, disabling the media scanner at boot (for me) using Rescan Media Root from the market sped things up. When the bottleneck gets fixed, it may be unnecessary to do so.

After booting, the phone would not initially see my external SD card. Taking off the battery cover, removing the SD card and putting it back in made it available. Then I was able to restore my backup from my external SD. FWIW, Quadrant is reporting a 1200-1300 score. I'm going to try to use it for a day and see how it works until the next RC comes out.

Very pleased to be running 2.2.1 this well. Keep up the good work! :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] web_ninja:
Yes that is what seems to be the bottleneck. I will download it and give it a try.. Thanks for the tip...
[Vibrant Android Development] skyhigh2004:
What kind of recovery does RC3 have?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Working on a few small thing for the next RC - And yes, I did add the accurate battery!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
RC6 Available

OP updated with RC6

Use Rescan Media that I included to disable media scanning and speed the boot process up.

Unmount and remount external sdcard if you have problems with seeing it. Refer to the original EB/TW release and Krylon360s post earlier in this thread for more information on mounting.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
This looks nice. Can't believe you went from RC3 to RC6.
[Vibrant Android Development] in_dmand:
will this actually give us 4g service? sry, i searched thread but didnt find info... thx
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
lol - Went through RC4 and RC5 in testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
More like 3.5
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
are you going to go through a few more RC 8-10 etc before a final build then theme it up or what.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Just a few more thing I want to do to get it to Final - which would be lockscreens, am/pm mod etc - I will probably finish the theme along the way. - By the way, bluetrigger morphs over this.
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
well i think brick'd dark loki theme would look nice with a hint of blue.
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Bluetrigger - on RC3, the flashable crashed my phone and I had to nandroid recover.

So tried all the steps in metamorph - tw framework and framework went well, but phone apk kept a nasty loop going even after battery pull and reboot -

has that changed for RC6?

Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Sorry, don't flash the phone, just the frameworks.
[Vibrant Android Development] da_dragon2k3:
@jellette In RC6, is the is touchwiz uninstallable?
[Vibrant Android Development] dbacchus:
Unfortunately, the mount issues are still there for me. On boot it doesn't see external SD, re-inserting SD fixes it, but when the phone does see SD card - the USB connection to the PC is broken. Tried mount/unmount thing for internal SD (there is no option for external SD as far as I can see). Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Thanks for RC6 and including in it the rescan app plus mentioning how to get the external working. It will hopefully cut down on the repeat questions. If you decided to do these things because you read my post #637 in this thread then I'm honored to have contributed in some small way. :cool:

Suggestion: Would it be better to disable the media scanner at boot by default temporarily? Then, let people re-enable it through the included app? People will complain either way. What is best?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
RC3 and RC6 were laggy for me even after removing external sd. Perhaps my phone doesn't respond well to the kernel? Had a great combo of battery and speed with beta 2 and will go back to that release for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] C-Reactor:
Bump!

Is the Voodoo Lagfix no longer needed, or does it just not work anymore?
[Vibrant Android Development] sgtmedeiros:
So i dont Know if my phone is retarded, but both external and internal storage show up..
[Vibrant Android Development] LoveistheGroove:
Is Twiz Stock 2.2.1 Beta 2 the last 2.2.1 you'll make using Stock Twiz colors, etc?

These questions are directed toward the developers. I am using your Twiz Stock Beta 2.2.1 and I LOVE it. Don't love the inability to use Mobile AP. I flashed RC3 yesterday and it was SO slow and laggy. Rebooted into CWM Recovery and there was no longer an option to enable Voodoo; even when rebooting recovery. My concern is that I honestly hate the new black menus and how everything is square and "boxy" with blah black & white menus (not your fault, Gingerbread in general is ugly as can be).

My two questions are: (1) Will you continue to develop a "stock" Twiz 2.2.1, or have you switched completely to the new one with RC6? I happen to be one of those that *loves* the color scheme in Stock Twiz. One of the main reasons I bought the phone. I've tried every ROM possible and the color scheme of Twiz is my favorite.

(2) What did I do wrong with RC3 that made it so laggy and how did I lose Voodoo? (I did disable before flashing).

Thanks a lot. I hope this doesn't warrant an online smackdown. I get those a lot. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Found this sick TW launcher in the I9000 Thread. Created by Dena or Whiskey. Looks sick sure you will agree. Themed Black metal. Wait till you see the icons.This goes well with any rom especially This one Trigger and Loki.Just copy to System/Apps Enjoy!:):)
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Dumb NooB Question for Jellette..

Can I install Voodoo to RC6?
[Vibrant Android Development] C-4Nati:
Still doesn't read external sd.
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
2 RC6 Issues..

1) Startup Sound Plays, but Shutdown.ogg does not

2) ClockworkMod Recovery:

Works if I use the three button method or from the shutdown screen.

Does not work from ROM Manager
[Vibrant Android Development] abdrmd:
3G Video Call

Dear Team can we used Video Call as shown below
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Ravager:
RC6

Phone/Battery getting hot

Pretty fast

Drains fast
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Shutdown removed. Did I leave startup sond in?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
See if what you are looking for is inside the external_sd folder on your internal sd
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Yep, but I like it because I use SGS Tools to customize. Wish shutdown was still activated..

Hey can I flash Voodoo with this ROM or no?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I dont have ffc but I have been using qik to video chat with my daughter, you just have to click tje little button to flip the image, and of course point the camera at yourself.
[Vibrant Android Development] Incredible_Culp:
still doesnt see the external SD... ive done what you said as well
[Vibrant Android Development] C-Reactor:
BUMP!

The question plaguing everyone's mind:

VOODOO: Can it be flashed or not?!
[Vibrant Android Development] gthmcty1:
My location isnt working any one else?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okay I asked with the first 2.2.1 that was ported from 4G and nobody answered so I'll ask again, and also on the Bionix Frost thread. Simply what is the data fix and has anyone tried it on the Ragnarok rom that Heathen put up in December? I only asked because that was close to fully operational other than the reboots at -79 dBm.
[Vibrant Android Development] kboater:
i have no idea. Im still waiting to either flash this or the other 2.2.1. Both teams are great, im just trying to figure out which is most stable.

anyway, the OP on Frost says Voodoo, so not sure if voodoo will work on this too?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sincitybronze:
Decided to stick with beta 2 for a while but there's still one issue: mobile ap force close. Is there a way to get it working or another app I can use to do the same thing? Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Ravager:
PowerOn.wav works

now if I can just get it to see my external_sd...*The folder is there, the contents are not.

If you look, for example, in Titanium Backup-Overview:

SD card 13.9 GB

Ext. SD card 13.9 GB

*Also, looking at mounts and storage...There is no way to u/mount it...format it, etc.... (The removable external_sd card)

could vold.fstab be modified to include the real external_sd as say /sdcard2 auto?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
At this time, Voodoo can only be used if you are willing to do the following:

Download the voodoo flash you want.

Make a duplicate of the zip named gothi.kernel.zip

Place the original on your sdcard.

Open the gothi.kernel.zip with 7zip and drag Gothis kernel into the updates folder (the zimage), close the 7zip window and put that on your sdcard too.

Flash Voodoo and enjoy.

The downside:

You will need to disable voodoo and flash gothi.kernel.zip anytime to plan to mount your phone to the pc.
[Vibrant Android Development] wizern23:
i dont even have an external sdcard in the settings. it only shows sdcard. shouldnt i see both?
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
Rom only supports one or the other. Dev decided on internal.
[Vibrant Android Development] wizern23:
oh okay. i remembered on an older version both worked for me so i thought it was an issue on my end
[Vibrant Android Development] Spartoi:
Last time I looked at this thread, RC3 was re-posted and now we are at RC6. Does someone have the change log?
[Vibrant Android Development] blinksilver:
anyone willing to post a couple screenshots of the app theme. Like one of the the dialer(a twiz app) and one of the standard android music player, which does not rely on the twiz framwork
[Vibrant Android Development] abdrmd:
iam looking for phone app support 3g video call (direct without internet)
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Feel free to use my kernel from Frost guys.

It's voodoo enabled, and has the internal mount hack.

I also have a kernel that one of my followers built from source. Voodoo, Voodoo Sound, and internal mount hack. Im testing it out right now.
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Is there somewhere I can get the kernel as a CWM zip or do I have to strip the zimage from your rom and create it myself ?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thanks for the collaboration. It'll make this rom great.
[Vibrant Android Development] pvspencer22:
+1 really liking beta 2
[Vibrant Android Development] jpelagio11:

[Vibrant Android Development] gatesmarch123:
I use android wireless tether 3.0 pre 10 apk. Works great. Just Google "android wireless tether", at the top result click "downloads", then click the file at the top.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Beat me to it. Was just getting ready to post that thanks to Krylon360, I will be upping a version with Voodoo..

On a side note, I am wondering if the button remapper app would be a dirty hack to stop the menu from calling the launcher?
[Vibrant Android Development] pvspencer22:
Wireless tether also works for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] DaytonaDU:
Does swype work now? Does this ROM have the same audio popping noise as Frost? I listen to Slacker ALL day at work so that has kept me from 2.2.1 so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
If thats the case, those would be called test/alpha/beta builds not release canadates. Hince the word release. An RC build is something that was released to the public for testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
Pleasant.

10 char
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
It's possible. worth a shot.

Im gonna be trying a few different xml changes tonight to see what I can do.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Changing the menu button from wake_drop to wake speeds it up a lot - but it also kills the home button...
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Technically still a public release, just a closed public release.

And now the next release will be RC27 just in spite! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Sup guys,

First of all, huge fan of EDT and their ROM's. Been following Heathen since he first started cooking that hot **** up on the TW forums.

Had a few weird issues with v6. Phone was being incredibly laggy till many reboots later and secondly only a fraction of my gmail contacts were being displayed (like 6 out of 100). I resynced my account a few times and this eventually went away. Thanks for the dedication.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Yeah, everyone just needs to remember that this rom, frost and the miui build are ports from different phone models. The bugs should be eventually worked out on these. Krylon was able to identify a possible cause of the menu lag this morning.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Hehe :-p
[Vibrant Android Development] dligon:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935290 jellete these lp icon would look nice with one of builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I saw the same thing this morning when I first loaded the ROM but since then it has been running great. I love that I can get the Tab Email app to work with this build too. Hopefully it will stay working this time(a bug with the email app, not the ROM). Keep up the great work guys!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I have found that Opera mini runs 100 times better on 2.2.1 than the stock browser does.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Disable Heptic Feedback in the settings. It will help with menu lag. There is a bug in that driver.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
It does help, but there is still a little bit of lag. The lag is only in the homescreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] genaropr:
great rom all I need is external sd fix
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
Lags alot....bricked the first time and had to Odin then used a backup from axura sorry but it looks like it has potential. :/
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
Mine lagged a lot for the first hour but since then it has been running great. You might have given up on it too soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
If only that ui wasnt ugly as sin..
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
Well maybe, but I actually used it for about two hours (redownloaded apps and configured homescreens) it still seemed to lag a lot it may only be my phone or maybe a bad flash but I missed my beast animations from axura. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] offdutyninja808:
I tried RC3, Frost, and now on RC6. It's working like a charm for me. Much smoother than the first 2 mentioned. One thing that's pretty amazing about RC6 is how much my data improved. I've never gotten more than 1.2 down ever while sitting on my couch.

[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Anyone try bionix frost kernel on this , I can't sign zips right now my java is messed up
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
dont need to sign with CWM
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Ohh wow really thanks lol , will get that done right away then
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
yeah, with our version of CWM, it doesn't require a signature.
[Vibrant Android Development] es7241:
Nice looking rom but still a little on the slow side , even with the kernel from Frost.
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
What is the app that has the desktop and clock screen saver when you dock? It is much better than the stock SGS app. I wanted to pull the APK so I can always use that instead of the DeskHome app.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Been nursing my strep throat, will try to do some work on this today though.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Get better Jellette!!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Awww... strep sucks, drink lots of fluids my guy... get better or else lol nosa
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Tried new kernel doesn't do much but it adds a very cool google logo at the beginning so if that kernel gets customized for this rom keep the google other than that this rom is sweet
[Vibrant Android Development] dvno:
Beta 2 is still the smoothest and fastest ROM i have used on my vibrant. Just flashed back to it again last night. A+++
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Ravager:
I flashed this too...going back and forth.....this is the best of the 2.2.1's right now...beta 2...anyways...it just works and fast!
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Ravager:
Frost 3 hopefully will come back to match this responsiveness....no lag...with eugene's base ..no voodoo needed
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Thanks Hawks!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Ok, here's the one with my previous fixes, Whitehawkx's fixes, and now the bluetooth fix. Unfortunately, I've noticed that MobileAP is also broken....so back to work :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
:eek: !!!!!!!!

I litterally come home from work and i see this...

I love you man! /nohomo

THIS IS SEXY BEING STOCK!!

btw, i'm going to see if i can get my buddy to let me try to checkout the new HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T, for possible port. That sucker is so fast. Running stock, with a bunch of downloaded apps already by him, it still benchmarked at a 1545 Quadrant. And running some of these custom ROMs here, i quadrant at 1559. Imagine if that Sense UI got the bloatware out and tweaked it out?

Damnnnnnnn, it's gonna flyyyyy!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
USB 100% dead now except for charging - have to send myself mediafire links to test... and pray I don't brick it too bad... lol - New phone here by end of week hopefully.

[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Gonna risk asking again: what are the benefits of this 2.2.1 on our Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] bbm21:
hardware acceleration i believe
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Well, I'm stuck. For MobileAP, I can only guess the issue is in smali\com\android\settings\wifi\AccessPoint.smali. However, anything I try to do to change it either does nothing, or breaks wifi as well.

For the lockscreen wallpapers, I think android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT may be missing from androidmanifest.xml. However, modifying this and attempting resigning is a no-go. Not surprising as I think the signature has to match the frameworks among other things.

Just figured I'd share incase anyone wishes to continue the work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Spartoi:
Well, back on Ragnarok, 2.2.1 was a noticeably faster than 2.2. I don't know about the recent 2.2 Roms though.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcc332006:
Thanks. I'll give it a go.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] jpelagio11:
Having issue with market wont download root explorer paid app. I cleared cache/data in market rebooted and still no go
[Vibrant Android Development] irockstar661:
Same here. Was having issues getting the apps to install

sent from the galaxy of Loki 1.3
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Is it just paid apps? I had no issue downloading and installing regular apps, although technically I'm running the Vending.apk from Glasstopia.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I have a rare moment of usb stability, I will scan through here and see what I can work on.
[Vibrant Android Development] jkcheng122:
Having some issue I don't yet see reported here. When I got to Settings -> Sound, as soon as I click on Volume under General I get a "process com.android.settings) force close.

EDIT: Same happens when trying to change Brightness.
[Vibrant Android Development] imitebewrong:
Can someone tell me if the browsing is noticeably smoother with the GPU acceleration? (duh, it would make sense, right?)

Try a site like, pc.ign.com. It's very flash/advertisement intensive, generally has a little lag when flipping around on the page. Not too bad when OC'd to 1.4, but still a little lag here and there.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
These are fixed in the settings.apk posted a few pages back. Although you might just want to wait. I just finished up the lockscreen/power menu mod and those features are fixed in the settings.apk thanks to MWBehr.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
I am using this with the dow kernel and the difference between this and kb1 (everything else the same, dow kernel, ext4 for ask partitions) is like the difference between stock and voodoo/ext4. Everything is super responsive. Also I've had no problem downloading root explorer or any other paid app. And also thank you for including the aosp music player; I missed being able to have music as a widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
For those who have already flashed this...

Can anyone confirm that this 2.2.1 release performs as well on RFS as any other 2.2 was on EXT4 / Voodoo?

Do you see performance difference in browser embedded Flash / YouTube videos?

I'm wondering if it might finally be time to ditch Voodoo and go back to RFS with this ROM. What's the consensus? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] jpelagio11:
Is it just paid apps? I had no issue downloading and installing regular apps, although technically I'm running the Vending.apk from Glasstopia

^i figured it out I put in the wrong billing info haha. Im retarded. This rom is awesome
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I am sending these files over to Jellete to add into the rom, but until then here is a cwm flashable to hold everyone off.

It includes:

~Bluetooth, Display, Sound settings fixed by MWBehr

~Minor SDcard settings fix

~5 Lockscreens

~PowerMenu

~H Icon Mod by S0niqu3/Jocelyn

~Kill Battery Full pop-up

~Stay Awake Option

[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Whether it is or isn't, I don't think anyone has claimed that enabling Voodoo on this rom will slow it down :D

H symbol sucks. 3g ftw
[Vibrant Android Development] Settai:
Appreciate it man
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
I agree with this when it's not applicable (meaning you're not in a HSPA / HSPA+ area). However, I appreciate all the work being poured into this release and so I will put up with this minor nuisance. :p I imagine it is done because the people like the 3G are in the minority, the general masses ask for "H" symbol too much otherwsise, the dev(s) just like it that way, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
This isn't just an "H" symbol that replaces your 3g symbol. It turns into an "H" when you actually switch to HSDPA. So you still have a 3g symbol. It's the best of both worlds. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Gonna try this along with the DOW14, they should play nice together, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Yes, they should.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I can't test, I need someone to push the new theme and see if it is jacked up or not.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Send it on over. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
I guess someone has to try it and report back, and that will be me. Waiting for the battery to charge fully before flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
done, should work with your newest settings.apk and locks
[Vibrant Android Development] dizzy21:
So far so good!!!.. One issue.. Apps are not showing up in updates, like they are not there after Titanium restore.. other than that I Flashed rom and extras and Smooth as silk.... Voodoo enabled.

Thanks Einherjar Dev Team for this awesome rom!!..

:D:D:D:D
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
You mean in the Market --> My Apps? 'cause they're there for me after a TB restore.
[Vibrant Android Development] dizzy21:
I am speaking of those. yeah i restarted the market a few times and now they are all there??? go figure. Well that means i am issue free for now!!!!

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Have you already closed and re-launched the market?

Edit, you answered before I was done typing. None of the apps with this were updated so you wont see your own apps until the second or so market launch - once it is done updating the gapps and such.
