It will flash...but don't expect video (and whatever else it breaks) to work...
It is based off of the latest AT&T leak so it has to have the stock kernel for everything to work.
Yes any Infuse modem will work.
Fonts
Are there any fonts or themes for this rom? I was under the impression it was based on MIUI, and could therefore be customized. the only MIUI element I see is the lockscreen manager. Am i missing something?
Its a work in progress, give it time, Nop seems to have a lot in store for his new Rom!

After flashing, Superuser is disappeared from App drawer and become "unrooted" but superuser is already installed as reported by Market.
Uninstall and reinstalling, no problem but still now shown in App Drawer and reported "unrooted" whenever useing apps which need root access..
Tried re-root with SOC, stuck with the messeage "waiting for device" and would not be continued..
Any idea ??

Odin/heimdall flash a custom kernel. then download the su updater for cwm I think the link is in the open of caty rom or something. reflash the rom (sometimes su gets corrupt and causes all sorts of issues, best to format /system and reinstall the rom for good measure) and flash the su updater immediately after. make sure you do this before a reboot and that voodoo is disabled on your phone. there should be a folder on the root of the SD card named "Voodoo" the V is capital and in that rider should be a text file or folder named "disable-lagfix" if this is not there before you flash the voodoo/cwm enabled kernel and lagfix gets enabled you must disable it and reboot before you flash the rom.
this leak is really secure, you need the custom "insecure" kernel to root it and there seems to be an issue with the build of bionix causing people problems. read the thread but don't get too confused on all the different advice.
also if you can use heimdall I posted a heimdall flashable dump from my phone in the bionic thread. it already has updated superuser and su.

no Voodoo exists but the disable-lagfix file/folder doesn't. it is usually a file but if you create it as a folder it works.
if you have no Voodoo folder you should create it as well as the disable-lagfix to speed up the process and avoid issues. or you can install bionix from my heimdall package. your choice.
I cant tell fron the screenshots....does this rom have the lockscreen that allows you to choose unlock, phone, sms, or camera?

You can try uninstalling adfree from tibu
If that doesn't work, you may have to try to figure out how to fix permission, wipe dalvik and wipe cache.

I just installed this rom ontop of the old V2 bionix iv been running for months, figured it was about time I upgraded lol. Iv been playing with it a bit, and am getting used to the new layout. Maybe this is intentional but where did the battery info and pulldown task bar ontop go? Also some things seem to be not fitted to the screen correctly, like my contacts list and the lock screen is cutoff 3/4 way thru the clock on bottom. Ill keep playing with the settings when I wakeup I just wanted to check I didnt miss something or install it wrong, like a lingering file between the 2 versions caused an incompatibility. Other then that its pretty sexy sofar

Ran into the same problem, so I restored all my apps using CWM instead (boot up to CWM, advanced restore, choose the image that you want to restore from, restore data). Not really the best way to do it, but at least I got all my apps back.
I've installed this twice now. Both times I started from stock. It seems to work well so far, even at 1.3 GHz. All of the apps that I use that require root work fine. However, it seems that somehow he's disabled any access via adb or term. Anytime I try any command in adb shell or term, I get "permission denied". Has anyone else seen this?
Been running this rom for almost a week. very stable and looks great no issues at all. have setcpu at 1.3 max and 100min conservative. quad scores 1029 best.
Wish hero could make a bare bones rom that has his great skinning, then have zip folder for all sprint, zip for all touchwiz, zip for misc. that why everyone gets programs they want without constantly removing crap and it keeps the rom small and light and fast!!!

I just use WinRar to add and remove apk's from his ROM zip before I flash.
Not a bad idea to format boot, cache, data, and system through the advanced mounts and storage menu in CWM when installing this rom. More or less no errors.... when oced to 1.3 there is virtually no load time with apps or rendering time for web pages.

Don't remove the DRM files - use a startup editor to stop it from starting upon boot or just freeze the processes with something like titanium backup.
Is it possible to flash via odin and cwm and some gremlins still lurk. I ask because i've flashed 3 roms today and each one seem to have the same issue with missing market app and such. I don't know if it's a app i'm using, but it seems wierd. I went from Gingerbread (where it started) back to froyo and flashed 2 froyo roms with the issue
Try RaverX3X's KC1. Unfortunately, I don't have the link, so look for it on this forum. That should clear up all gremlins you have.
Yeah i tried that the last time. Possibly I should do my flashing straight from that with the required stuff to get root?

im getting the same issue, I've Odin stock kc1 without root then gained root, installed cwm. Then proceeded to install Audiophile Series: Redux. Still has the same issue. I've even odin gb Kg4, KG5, KH1, & KH2. All gave me the same problem. Everything works perfect up until I shutdown my phone and reboot it. Then I get the grey android icon with these apps:
com.amazon.venezla (Amazon Appstore)

& of course my market app does not work either, even when i install the new market it force closes.

Curious that not everyone else is having this problem as I used the "Step by Step on how to flash any Gingerbread rom". Maybe it's occurring when EXT4 is done.
Lol I'm sitting here and reading all the posts and lolling XD.Just reboot onto recovery and go to mounts there normally should be MUUM but when apps are missing there is MMUM (i think i got that right, the unwanted mount should be data ) after you unmount data reboot and voila none of the apps are missing.

From my experience over the past couple weeks and through dsextons posts, I believe the issue is that your phone was still partially ext-4 when you flashed.
Hey guys. I've scoured the web and haven't found anything on this so thought id ask the experts.
When I install a new app from Market, the notification bar shows the "successfully installed Droid DJ Lite" popup for the new app, but also displays "Updating Droid DJ Lite".
Clicking on the "Updating" entry brings up the market page for a totally different app. In this case it pulled up Google Reader.
This happens with every app I install, and clicking "updating..." brings up a random app every time.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this or knows what's causing it.
I'm running kh2 with CRT on/off with drhonks kh4 kernal, and ext4 is enabled.
I recovered my apps via Titanium Backup after flashing, and have run fox permissions via rom manager.

you might want to try the factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache after you flash a rom and before you use tb to restore all your apps.

I should clarify that I was only using Rom Manager to fix permissions, and wasn't actually managing any roms with it.
I flashed back to ICBINB and ran back through the whole process of installing KH2 again this morning, and then wiped cache's and data, and it looks to have fixed this issue.
Linda is still whining about space on my SD card, but I've figured that one out before.
I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

Moved thread to general where it should be
I was using AntonX's Basic with a Twist kernel and I was having severe issues with many apps. Everything was perfect until I rebooted the phone; after that, the Google Apps framework kept force closing, and I couldn't read any emails in gmail or texts in Messaging without them force closing. I fixed permissions and had no luck.
I was just wondering if wiping the cache, Dalvik, etc. is necessary if all I was doing was flashing a kernel. I'm back to stock now, so unfortunately I can't grab a log cat for you, but I doubt I would have been able to anyways with all the FCs.
EDIT: Everything else was stock GB, only the kernel was custom.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
The cache partition and Dalvik cache are Java-land things, so they shouldn't need to be wiped if there is only a kernel change. The Java world exists above the kernel; Java, within reason, shouldn't care what it is running on, even different OSes. That said, those two are easy to wipe and shouldn't cause any loss of irreplaceable data. I pretty much always wipe them when I flash a full ROM, and would on "normal" kernel changes.
Generally changing out a kernel and all its associated drivers shouldn't be a big deal. Even if you miss a driver or leave one behind, the kernel typically won't load drivers from other builds, even of the same kernel (with the exception of hacks in the GB kernels to load Samsung proprietary drivers).
My guess is a "bad flash" of one kind or another.

Thank you, jeffsf. A few questions though.
All I was flashing was the kernel. Forgive my newbieness, but was I supposed to flash drivers with it? Probably a stupid question.
Also, after the problems and before I flashed back to stock, I tried to reflash the kernel through CWM, but the problems didn't go away and I lost a ton of apps for some reason.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
On the "drivers with kernel" question, it is a bit of both. The drivers can either be compiled into the kernel, or "modules" that can be loaded on demand. The former are stored on the same partition (like C: and D: on a Windows machine) and get flashed with the kernel. There are some cases where the drivers are on the same partition as the ROM itself, so they need to be copied over as well. For most installers, it is all transparent to the user. AntonX kernels through the one-click Heimdall shouldn't require any additional steps.
I'm not sure what file you tried to flash using CWM. It seems strange that you lost apps in the process. In any event, I'd re-download the file and check the MD5 if it was given.

Haha yea but that's how I get CWM, I was on stock.

I tried again, this time with the Heimdall one click, and still had no luck. Everything works fine for about a day until the next reboot, then random apps start to force close.
Going back to stock.

Have you tried fixing permissions? I had that problem awhile ago and that fixed it for me. I would wipe the caches and fix permissions.

Try thomas.raines Gremlin Remover. There may be some little nasties hiding out. Then sgs kernel installer (free on play) to flash the kernel.

But doesn't the heimdall one click back to stock from bhundven do the same thing as the gremlin remover? I thought they both completely restored the phone to stock and removed any artifacts of previous flashes.

There a differing opinions. Gremlin Remover is a much larger (over 400 MB zipped, 600+ when extracted). If one doesn't seem to be working why not try the other? Also GR is Odin based so it uses different drivers than Heimdall. It's generally suggested to use different USB ports each for ADB, Heimdall and Odin.
Gremlin Remover is so large because it takes you to froyo and then to a early release of gingerbread. Either one should work however if heimdall is erroring out then I would use the odin based options. Otherwise if heimdall is flashing properly no need in using a odin one click.
thomas has a link in the GR OP to his Filesystem cleaner which can useful also.
