[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
I was asked a question VIA private message earlier and while I don't care a bit to receive private messages or to help anyone in any way that I can, I would appreciate questions being asked in the forum for a couple of reasons. First, other people may be able to help you better and/or more quickly than I can. Also, others may benefit from the answer as well. That being said, I was asked the following: (and I'm paraphrasing)

"...Is it possible to flash this rom without the need for a pc and is it possible to flash this rom without a wipe (returning to stock) first..."

It is possible to flash this rom without a pc. The rom is in a CWM recovery flashable .zip so all you have to do is download it with your phone an flash from recovery. This however, is not recommended. While this is a "wipe" release (so if you have any pictures/etc. that you want to keep, back them up first), some people have problems flashing roms (not just this one) over other roms without flashing back to stock, some don't. So if you choose to flash over another rom w/o reverting to stock first, do so at your own risk. I will try to assist in any way I can, but again, it is recommended you revert to stock first - especially since it's not that difficult with Odin 1-click.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Just to add, I always flash over my previous ROM. If I experience any problems, then I'll flash back to stock and start fresh. If I still have problems, then I'll post my questions.

Screen shots look really nice - Might give it a test run this weekend. Thanks for the work you put in.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Yeah, a lot of people just flash over existing roms and have no problems at all - I'm usually one of them. If it's the same base and/or same rom, I usually just do what you do and flash it - if there's a problem I'll goto stock then reflash. I've got in the habit lately of flashing to stock if it's a new rom though. I just got a new cappy (old one was stolen) and it seems like this one gets upset if I do too much flashing w/o reverting first.

If you're going to give it a shot this weekend, I suggest you wait for the 1.1 release. I'm pushing it back from this afternoon until sometime tonight due to a lot more changes than I previously planned. It's going to to have quite a bit more :)
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
my dialer FC'ed when i tried making a call...:confused:

wiped and stuff still so...

will wait for later versions coz it looks really good.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Lol banner I made, I actually tried "drawing" a totem but failed miserably, anywho you can use it if you want. I matched the colors with the theme. If you want any changes made to it just ask. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
So is this inspired by MattedBlues? Seems very similar to that theme
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Some people are having that issue some aren't. I actually had it on one flash, and when I reflashed it worked fine. Regardless, in version 1.1 (later tonight) I am using a different phone.apk which should remedy the FC's...
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Inspired by my hatred of seeing "gingerbread green" everywhere and a "gingerblue" icon set I saw for popular market apps (XDA thread I think).
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
in the op you state that the stay awake while charging option is available. do you know if it stays checked thru a reboot. this has been a problem with some other roms out there.
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:
Just tried to make a call, it disconnects when call goes out and then in the notifications it shows like your still on the call and wont go away.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Thank you so much for the zip file.Patiently awaiting V1.1...
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Is the Swype themed? I know the stock Swype wouldn't look half-bad with this ROM, but I hate those big buttons.

EDIT: Does the camera support the disabling of geotagging? If not, I can direct you towards an apk that supports this and power-button picture taking. I also took that same apk and replaced the stock TW icon with the Froyo one. I think most people prefer that icon over the TW one, and it would look better with this theme.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Ok,just flashed the increased wifi scan zip through recovery and nothing happened.Maybe because I'm still on Serendipity 6.4,so it's still scanning @30sec. intervals?Anyways it's no biggie,I'll just wait for V1.1 and then try the zip again.Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Two things... if you flashed that zip on dipity, your phone info now says 'inception 1.1' lol because it was a build.prop edit... two, I believe if you're around a known location (wireless connection) the scan wont change, but im not sure...
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Lol,yeah I noticed the Inception 1.1 thing,thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
You might want to open your rom.zip and ADB their /system/build.prop back to your /system/ directory, I'm not sure what kind of changes Chance and Mikey have made in theirs - I know that with 6.0 (I think) they started adding a check in their update.zips that would check your current rom version and if the update.zip wasn't compatible then it wouldn't flash so keep that in mind if they release an update or you download anything from their kitchen, it probably won't flash unless you're using their build.prop

[EDIT] actually, if you don't want to ADB it, just open the zip you downloaded from this thread and put the build.prop from your serendipity rom's /system/ folder in it and then flash...
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Not to be annoying, but did you see my post at the top of this page? I just would like to know about the camera, so I know whether or not I should replace the camera that comes with the ROM with my own that disables geotagging. I'm excited to flash this ROM and will be doing so as soon as 1.1 is posted!
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Nah,think I'm just gonna leave it alone for now as everything is working as it should.Once 1.1 is out,I'll odin back to stock,then flash your rom.Can't wait... :-)
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
sorry, must have missed your post. this is a 2.2.1 modded camera so there is no option to turn of geotagging, you'll need to replace it with a 2.1 camera for that (to the best of my knowledge no one has been able to inject that code back into a 2.2.1 camera yet) I have toyed with the idea of swapping them out in the next release, but honestly I didn't figure it was that big of a deal. The main reason I kept this camera, is because (at least the mod I have seen that enables the geotagging disable option) you lose the store on phone/sd-card option?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Well, geotagging can be dangerous if you're uploading your photos online a lot. As for the /sdcard problem, the apk I'm using comes from Fascinate 2.2, I think, and I don't have that problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949566

That's where I got it. If you decide to put it in the ROM, I have attached the same apk, but I changed the icon from TW camera to stock Froyo icon.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
On a side note, I colored the actual Inception logo blue, if anyone is interested in using it as a signature. As long as osendott is ok with it.

I think it would be cool if someone could make it to where when you click on it, it takes you to page one of this thread. I'm not sure how to do this.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
http://www.dafont.com/inception.font

^ There's a font for the "inception" logo, if any of ya'll want it :D
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Oh, very cool moss! I would give thanks, but I'm already at my limit for the day. hehe :)
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
I don't care one bit. Sounds like a good idea to me...

Just an FYI getting ready to start uploading 1.1 now. Unfortunately this one is going to be a full download again, but the next few updates should just be smaller update.zips... Once it's uploaded I'll let you guys know. I've been running it basically since yesterday (aside from a few tweaks here and there) and it's been pretty great.. after 3 charge cycles I was at 82% after 13hrs so the battery life seems to be doing well...

full change log to come...
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Two minutes left on the 1.0 download and now you start uploading 1.1. Lol!
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
F5,F5,F5....
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Me too! It reminds me of the closing scene of The Social Network. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
The suspense is killing me,lol.I'm just really looking forward to flashing this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
It's up! Go to the link from the OP. He's probably typing a changelog ATM. :)
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
No problem. I probably stole a bit of osendott's thunder there.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Pretty sure he won't mind,he seems like a nice enough guy :)
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
First impressions:

Very nicely themed.

Awesome boot animation.

Home button doesn't work. :/

Swype won't swype.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
+1 same here.:( ohh also search button don't work
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Yeah, I have that issue too! But other than that, it's a good ROM! I think the buttons not working is an easy fix.

EDIT: I also don’t seem to have a lockscreen...lol.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
EDIT: I also don’t seem to have a lockscreen...lol.[/QUOTE]

I didn't even notice that,lol but yeah,you're right.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
I didn't even notice that,lol but yeah,you're right.[/QUOTE]

If you've already downloaded 1.1 I suggest rolling back to 1.0 or another rom, if you haven't downloaded 1.1 - then don't. I'm gonna have to take a look under the hood later on today, after I rebooted I've lost my lockscreens, my extended power menu is there, but it lost all but 4 options, and there's a few other glitches I've noticed. I haven't modified any of the files associated with these things, so I'm not sure why it's happened in 1.1... update to follow...
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
flash the attached zip in cwm recovery, should fix your 1.1 problems...
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Thanks osendott! Worked like a charm.

I noticed in 1.1 you removed quite a few apps. I was wondering if you could direct me towards where to get some of these? (Google Search and Voice Search)

Also, is there a way to disable the search button launching the camera?

EDIT: Grabbed the apps I needed here and they work perfectly! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11172563#post11172563
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Yeah, you can find them about anywhere on XDA, most online kitchens have them too.. I'm going to get around to zipping them up and linking them from the OP so those who want the stock apps can flash them back just been kinda busy with work and kids and stuff..

As for the search button camera, flash attached zip
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Once again, thank you! Your help while flashing this ROM has been phenomenal. I'll use this as my daily phone for about a week and I'll update with battery life and the like.

EDIT: Flashed the zip and the search button still launches camera...
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
+1,and I'll give it another go since all issues have been taken care of. :)
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
Try a different cord.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
I got it fixed, but thank you.

In the OP, you say the ROM is running Onix kernel, but it's running SpeedMod. Just so you know. I just tried flashing Onix 2.0.5 and I'm stuck on endless boot animation. :/

EDIT: Onix works fine, first boot just takes FOREVER.
[Captivate Android Development] rivermoon89:
i can't find download rom v1.1 , anywhere ?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Huh. I guess osendott took it down for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Waiting for screenshots still...
[Captivate Android Development] Switch33:
They are on the first page...
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Which version are you running? the initial release had onix, 1.1 went back to speedmod k13E..

As for the download link being down, I went to take down the 1.1 zip (leaving the initial zip online) until I could iron out a few things, but accidentally deleted both zips completely.. uploading again...

in the mean time, the inital release can also be downloaded here:

http://www.multiupload.com/RW6YSFYQCL
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Oh, you're right, didn't see the change of kernel in the changelog. I'm running Onix right now, and there really aren't any problems! I'm on version 1.1 and everything works smoothly. The zip provided to disable the launching of the camera didn't work, but really not a big deal at all. Battery life is great, I've lost about 11% in 5 hours, and I haven't even done a full charge cycle yet. Wifi on the entire time, lots of texting and browsing XDA. I will be following this ROM closely in the coming weeks!
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
I ran it through 2 cycles prior to release and on the 3rd I had 82% after 13+ hours, so it seems the battery life is pretty good.. since then I've been constantly reflashing trying to test and fix things, so I have no clue how long it'll last on a complete charge.. Interested to find out though..
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
I see version 1.2 is uploaded. Is it good to go? I really want to flash this one. I'll deffinately be watching/trying this rom.

edit: link http://android-roms.info/roms/105-Inception
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
You guys know when the new version is up before I do lol I just hit upload and leave... 1.2 is good to go as far as I know... Only thing I forgot to do was update the build.prop version to reflect the 1.2 version change. Has no effect on the rom, i'll remedy it with an update.zip later, I have to run for a bit now..
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
If you have downloaded version 1.1 and then applied the 1.1 fix zip, please flash this zip which will update the version number in your phone. It will update your version from 1.1 to 1.2 (there's no need to download the 1.2 full zip as the only difference between the 2 versions was addressed with the 1.1 fix.zip)
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:
1.2

Just flashed 1.2, its great so far. the issues I had previously are gone.(Mainly unable to make calls).

Gps for me is not so good, but I think that might be more me than the rom, I usually don't get great lock when at home, except for on Precision rom.

Really enjoying this rom, I plan on keeping this on for awhile.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] neh4pres:
does this rom include voodoo sound , bln, and voodoo color?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
It includes BLN, not sure about the other two, though. I don't think so.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
BLN = YES

Voodoo Sound = YES (Voodoo Sound 7)

Voodoo Color = NO (however it does have color/sharpness tweaks)

all of these things are handled by the Kernel, which for 1.2 is Hardcore's Speedmod K13E. For a full list of features, you can visit his thread here:

" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880&highlight=[KERNEL]+Speedmod+K13E&page=227 "

If you're looking for a voodoo color kernel, I suggest you search for Suckerpunch Voodoo by Existz. I don't have the link off the top of my head, but you can find it easily by searching in the Samsung Captivate > Captivate Android Development forum.

I just installed this ROM this morning and went out for a test run with the GPS and so far, its been great. The GPS locks in 5 secs and pretty darn accurate. The only problem I see is that in the Google Nav app, there wasn't a voice activated option for the destination like in other ROMs. Actually its not a problem, but more of a preference, hehehe. I'm not sure if its a a feature the other devs have implemented or a different version of the Google Nav. Either way, its nice to have. The color scheme is quite nice and classy....boot animation is pretty darn cool. I don't know about battery life yet but will update later once it goes through a couple of battery cycles. Everything else is running smoothly. Thank you for all your hard work on this...its a pretty good ROM thus far
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
It is a voice app that you need. I believe it is "voice synthesizer". If you do not have it, I believe it only beeps at the turns. I am usually asked if I want to download it after I run Navigation for the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Glad you're liking the rom. I'll look into the googlenav - honestly I never use it so I'm not sure if it's an older version or a feature I need to add or what. Glad to know the GPS tweaks are working well, there's a couple others I was looking at, but I may leave well enough alone for a while. Keep me posted on the battery life, I'm curious to know. I'm on my 3rd cycle right now and I'm at 79% after 18hr 5m 3s
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Still haven't gone through a full charge cycle yet. 8% left after roughly 28 hours unplugged. I had to reboot my phone this morning, so battery usage screenshot wouldn't be accurate.
[Captivate Android Development] galt007:
I actually have that installed already. When you first start up Google Nav...usually w/ other ROMS, there's 4 lines on it...first line would say, "Speak Your Destination, Type Destination, Contacts and Starred Places" On this ROM, there's no "Speak your destination"....but the other 3. I usually use the Speak function, for its convenient while I'm driving.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Asked this back a few pages was wondering if any one might check and see. Currently using apex would flash this one if it works the way it should other wise am happy with what I have for now. Might go for this one in a week anyways right now font have the time to go for it with backing up......
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
Who ever said this rom was nothing but the same old thing was sadly mistaken. I have the best battery performance I have ever had. Great rom, great look. Thanks for your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Hey osendott, just wanting to let you know that the zip you posted a ways back to disable search button camera doesn't work. Maybe we should take a little poll to see likes and dislikes that feature, so you can consider removing it in the next version.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
does not stay checked through reboot, working on this...
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Thank you... what kind of battery life are you getting? Here's the last screen I took before I had to connect my usb to flash (58% after 23.5 hours)... still haven't been able to run it all the way down, so I'm curious exactly how long it'll last...
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
sounds good to me, if enough people want the search key to be a search key, I can remove it in the next update.. as for the zip not working, I'll get another uploaded as soon as I get a chance, not sure why it didn't work, it should replace the edited file... hmmm
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Is the swype keyboard not swiping for anyone else? Or did I mess mine up?
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
you didn't mess yours up, apparently I grabbed the wrong swype apk and it only works as a regular keyboard, I'll have to fix it in the next update, I'm not at home right now so I can throw together an update.zip for it atm..

[EDIT] I take that back, uploading fix now, will post URL when finished...

flash VIA CWM recovery...

http://www.multiupload.com/CW4F5GEE4A

Inception 1.2 Swype.apk fix

it's not themed to match the rest of the rom, definately can't do that from here lol that will have to wait for the next update..
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
I am at 13 hrs and 82%. Normal to light use, wifi on. I can't get this in stand by with other roms. Great gps as well, this is a keeper.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Cool! Thanks! I tried swaping in the samsung swipe, but that made it fc lol.

Downloading this now.

Edit: still a no go on the swype. Not a deal breaker, loving the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
should be a working apk, but again i'm not at home to test it. i'll get it straightened out tomorrow then, sorry..

if anyone can post a working swype.apk for me until I get home, I'd appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
I grabbed the swype beta, and it works fine. I wonder why I couldn't get the samsung swype (from cognition) to work?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
I thought I may have been onto something. I wasn't moving libswype into the /system/lib folder. But, I tried the swype.apk+libswype from a couple different roms and they still don't swype.

The beta swype (from the actual swype beta website) works fine.

Oh, well. I guess I have hit the limit of my abilities lol.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Swype from Cog probably won't work because this is a JS8 i9000 ROM and that is a KB1 Captivate ROM.

I have a question about battery life and widgets. Last night, I unplugged my phone, turned off data, Wifi, and GPS before going to bed. I lost 8% while I was sleeping, which seems like a lot. I was wondering if this might be due to my weather widget. I use MIUI Weather, which refreshes every 90 minutes. Do you think that since all connections were turned off, the widget was constantly trying to refresh itself and that's why the battery drained?
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
Tried gps out today, awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
+1 I rather have the search button for search.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
I feel bad for you osen... Gingerbread source released right after you release your Froyo ROM! Now everyone will hammer you for Gingerbread!
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
XXJVE gingerbread source has been out for a while on samfirmware.com, but unless something has changed in the last day or so, there's not a capi kernel to run it.. if they've release the kernel source, then it's a matter of days, maybe hours until someone releases one...
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
As I understood it... kernel source is out. My standard disclaimer applies though ... I could be wrong.

:p
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
I was under the impression that all that needed to happen was the reorientinf of the kernel? Maybe that's what you mean, I'm not too hip on dev lingo.

EDIT: Lownox has it right... source is at opensource.samsung.com, I think. Just released today, there's a thread for it in the general section.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
That wasn't the source... Just a rom.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
you're absolutely right, and I'm an idiot atm lol
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
only been running this for 3 hours this morning but it looks like you are to be commended on a job well done (think you made the right call with the speedmod kernel)

nice touch on the boot screen.

I did break the OP guidelines and flashed over Supernova with no problems or glitches.
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Same here. Job well done. Appreciate working with us too.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Is this about the battery life everyone else is getting? Seems like mine has gone down since first charge cycle.
