Introduction:
Bionix-v 1.3.1 is fast and incredibly smooth. By far the fastest and most stable Bionix-v build. I really tweaked the hell out of this one. I spent a lot of time finding the sweet spot. There's not much else to say, just enjoy and please leave your feedback and bug reports. This will probably be the last major update to this build as we are moving on to other builds. However, we will still provide support and necessary updates if there are bugs reported. Cheers!

Coming Soon:
We're in the process of making a lot of themes for Bionix-v and Frost. Coming soon! Annnndddd.....android 2.3 in the works.

First and thanks again
Thanks :) flashing it now. Been running bionix 0.8 for the longest time before this.
Well GOOD MORNING!!!!! Excited to see what this brings....thanks for all the hard work TW!!!!

None of this PLEASE.

Use the THANKS button and keep this thread clean and manageable.

Just to confirm - if flashing from Nero v4/5 with Voodoo already enabled, I do NOT need to disable Voodoo to flash this, correct?

Thanks again for the awesome ROMs!

I would have to say that it would be just fine, but a few minutes to disable isn't that much of a pain to be on the safe side.

Here is the answer straight from the man himself:
Correct, you do not need to disable it.

Doing my backups as I type and will edit this with initial thoughts. Going to keep editing this as I go through the setup process:

• boot animimation = A1+!
• wallpaper is cool, but meh for fitting the rest of the theme
• getting solid signal (E) when I was spotty at best, even on Nero 5
• thumbs up on the new dialer, love the blackness!
• browser still has 4 window limit
• TWiz Messaging = bleh, waiting for media scanning to complete to test MMS *does not seem to be working off the bat, will try usual fixes **receiving fine, sending not so much
• using Maps 1st GPS lock took ~20 seconds, afterwards ~5-10 seconds - will update on # of Sat. once I restore apps
•• 10m accuracy
• Camera banding appears to be MINIMAL w/FFC Mod - using included Camera app so no FFC support

To Som/TW:.

Keep up the great work and looking forward to future projects.

***on a complete side-note, what happens when the Thanks Meter fills up? Som is getting close!***

Can't wait to try it out.
I'm coming over from Axura; not going to disable voodoo, so I hope things will go alright.
Anyway, I'll give feedback on how things went. Titanium is backing up my apps as we speak, so anytime soon.

edit: on second thought, I disabled voodoo.

The one with tw means it's using Samsung TouchWiz launcher instead of the Gingerbread launcher.

Anyway it seems like too many people are downloading... my download got stuck

Introduction:
Now that the 'official' 2.2 has dropped, Team Whiskey wanted to bring the Bionix name back. As most of you know, the Bionix series was known for its stability and speed. Nero was just a test run until we were confident everything was stable. Bionix-v has all the same features that was in the Nero series, but we've beefed it up with a bit more speed and of course stability.

Coming Soon:
Team Whiskey is in the process of doing a complete revamp and restructuring. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, we're going to begin making very high quality themes for our roms. I guarantee you, nothing will compare to them! In addition, we are in the process of expanding our team in order to being porting more roms to the Vibrant community, as well as further development on other phones. Also, as soon as we get our hands on the source code, we'll begin a full AOSP build compiled from source. At that time, we'll finally be able to compile a true vibrant 2.2 overclocked kernel which will provide much better battery life to the current ones based off i9000 source.

Important Notes:
1. After flashing, make certain you allow your phone to sit for a few minutes so your phone can completely boot and your dalvik-cache and rebuild. After sitting for a few, we suggest rebooting once to smooth everything out.
2. If you're having any kind of issue, please try rebooting once before reporting it as a bug. If your problem still persists, try reflashing. If you still experience the issue, then please report it. Trouble shooting in this order will help prevent unnecessary thread clutter.
3. If flashing the rom on anything other than a 100% fully charged battery, your battery stats WILL be wrong. In order to obtain optimal battery life after flashing, you need to recondition your battery and run your device through 3-4 battery cycles. Please do not report battery issues after running the rom for only 2 hours, etc. Minimal testing times are 24 hours, but we suggest 3-4 full battery cycles, which is roughly a 48-72 hour testing period.
4. If you are already currently using voodoo either with one of our roms or another rom, you DO NOT have to disable it before flashing. Just flash right on top!

Bionix-v:
- Complete KA7 build (official OTA 2.2) kernel, modem, system files, apps, etc.
- Accurate battery mod
- 4 lock screens to choose from - android stock, epic, fascinate, vibrant
- Additional power menu options - reboot, reboot into recovery, reboot into download mode
- Nexus S gingerbread themed (as close as it gets to the real deal)
- Custom init scripts written by team whiskey for additional speed, stability, battery life, etc.
- Custom boot animation
- Voodoo enabled by default (if you are already using voodoo, you DO NOT need to disable it before flashing)
- Frameworks changes to polish the overall look for a better experience
- New wallpaper
- All user apps updated
- Additional GPS modifications for a better GPS experience

So going from Nero v5 to Bionix won't be a problem... correct?

Also what would you say Bionix has that Nero doesn't?

Last but not least... will it wipe if installed over Nero v5?

Thanks

Correct, no problems coming straight from Nero 5.
It's all in the post...read it slowly this time.
YES...ALL TW ROMs wipe!


Curious does this rom support ffc, doesn't see it listed?

ALL of TW ROMs support FFC, they just do not have the appropriate Camera.apk and associated files.

    Enjoy everyone! And yes, this is a still a 2.2 based rom. Until we have a fully stable 2.2.1 and 2.3, this is the next best thing. I dont know about you, but I personally like my phone running fast and stable instead of just having the latest and greatest fancy number on my phone. ;)

    Oh well back to axura

    You allowed a grand total of 10 minutes between your 2 posts and are quitting it? Every single ROM TW puts out, they expressly say to LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES and allow things to settle in, THEN REBOOT. You flashed, immediately tried to throw an OC kernal on it, gave up to flash Axura and posted twice in the span of 10 minutes.

    Sweet Jesus, does anybody read or have 5 f'ing seconds of PATIENCE?

    Thanks guys. And as a side note, I am currently working on another bionix update and helping krylon with frost. We'll have some fun things out shortly.
