Does anyone use talon big mem kernel?I'm always feel a little bit of mem shortage

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Speaking of Swype issues, I noticed that I used to be able to double tap a word that was entered incorrectly, but now I'm back to having to hit the swype button.

Did the version change recently in Continuum?

At one point I had ditched stock Swype and updated to the Swype beta using the official Swype installer from the Swype website. Maybe that's what I'm remembering, and it was never a feature in stock Swype. I'm not sure.

Does anyone know?

And I promise never to say Swype that many times in a post again.

Civility

Folks, let's see if we can keep the posts civil, constructive, and relevant to the features and our experiences with this ROM without making things personal. icezar is letting us play in his sandbox, so let's not throw sand in his face for it.

And while we're sharing our experiences, let's not forget that he has a bug tracker that we can use and reference so as to not clutter up this thread with dupes.

LLaP
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I share your sentiments. I like what SC has done so I wanted to.support him. Yes its redundant but w.e.

I dont know if something went wrong or the Voodoo app doesn't recognize I897 but I had to use GT-I9000 after it saying I897 was incompatible. I don't use swype so its fine.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Ditto...I paid for Busybox even though it comes with TiBu, Root Explorer, Voodoo, T9flex and any other root app to support the developers. The money is hardly anything when compared to what people pay every month for their bills and devices....

Probably have less than $20 in apps..Over $100 in donations to devs and more to this site. People should be compensated for making my device and life better.
[Captivate Android Development] mengbo:
Thank you for the great work, it is working nicely!
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Seriously, I think the devs here should have the power to ban certain people from THEIR threads. Give a pass once, then if they come at you again, flush them from your thread.

Some of this really hacks me off and it's not just here, all the devs threads have it from time to time.

/ my 2 cents...
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Ok guys, yesterday and today were two very unappreciative days from some of you, fact which actually made me think why am I killing myself for this project and why am I getting angry at people which I dont know and I'll probably never meet.

Well.. I think I know why, because Continuum 5 had over 11000 downloads and only 4-5 were unhappy users (and 1 troll) and fixes for the requests and problems raised by these users were included in v5.2.

So I'll keep working on the ROM and clean it as much as possible. The ones that feel they can do a better job, feel free to create your own ROM, no one asks/forces you to flash Continuum. Thats actually how this ROM got born, I got sick of flashing ROMs from others, notif windows getting stuck at the middle of the screen, GPS worse than stock, speed degrading after 2-3 days of usage and other weird things which disappeared immediately after I made my own which I decided to share with you.

Gingerbread is a caprice for Captivate, it is not built and it is not 100% compatible with our hardware, so devs which take the task of building roms based on GB are extremely brave as they will face resistance from users and sometimes even insults (not pointing fingers).
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Did you restore system settings with tibu?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I really appreciate everything you do bud, don't let the few haters get you down. They probably just suck at life, so w/e
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Fully understand. I'll try to find a way around it but cant promise anything. And, dont misunderstand me, you dont need to have the voodoo plus app installed as long as you have it implemented in the kernel, you can use the free one which will allow you to have the functionality of Voodoo app and Swype.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
It's hard to shake off the insensitive comments by a few bad apples. I think you're doing outstanding work here and I love the ROM as much as any I've ever tried.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Just thought I'd bump this to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. It's only a minor issue, but I'm wondering if it will come back to bite me somewhere in the future if it's not resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Icezar1,

Thank you for fixing the lcd backlight issue. 5.2 is flawless for me.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I have to wonder, is anyone else NOT having the battery charge bug?
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Cezar, because of some of these nuts I worry about great Dev(s) like you.. please ignore these a**h***s.. you are doing a great job buddy and I along with so many others appreciate it so much... now smile :)
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Cezar (and actually all devs and folks that take the time to share their knowledge and skills with the community) the majority of us are very grateful and appreciative of the countless hours you put into this to allow us to enjoy our phones with cutting edge technology. A few folks like to run their mouths (or fingers) but they definitely don't represent the majority. No one is forcing you to download any particular ROM, so if you don't like it either build your own or go buy a simple phone (Nokia and Apple would be happy to take your business).

Haters gonna hate, but go hate somewhere else - the rest of us want to concentrate on improving the experience or helping others.

My 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Agreed.

The few minor speed issues I had in 5.1 seemed to mostly work themselves out after a few reboots, clearing of cache, and reinstalling some apps that broke during a restore. And 5.2 has completely fixed anything that remained.

Great work Icezar. I know it's hard not to take some comments personally. There will always be a vocal minority, unfortunately, in almost everything.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
This is a non-issue for me so no worries/pressure. I don't use swype, don't plan to, so editing the build.prop is a small thing to do to get my voodoo app working. You're work is great, and I really appreciate it :)
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
I am NOT having the charging bug. I am still running C5RC3 with Talon 0.1.3. When I plug in at night... I always wake up to 98%.

That doesn't mean, I haven't just been lucky.
[Captivate Android Development] maerlim:
Hi Cezar,

Add the digital clock widget to your list of widgets causing lag. I was running top from an adb shell and when I had the digital clock widget, TW was using 30%+ CPU. I removed the widget and it went down to less than 10%.

Also I found that it helps the TW lag if you clear cache and data on all your apps that have widgets that you use.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I personally purchased voodoo sound plus because when JVB first came out there was no voodoo sound until xcal and existz came along and gave us kernels. But as seen in the past, kernels (and ROMS) sometimes do not get updates when new features release because... well... we all have a life, XDA is not priority.

So for me, not wanting to post in a thread going...Whens the next update to support blah blah, I like having voodoo sound plus.

You did a great job icezar1 taking this from beta to RC to stable. Please do not get discouraged from the ignorant posters who obviously can't read or use search button.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Same here. Although, I am always around a charger so unless the bug has something to do with massive battery drain I usually don't pay attention issues like this.
[Captivate Android Development] Mr. Clown:
Did some post cleanup from members that are not contributing at all in the thread or to development.

@ dev and all members.

I understand people will not be 100% happy with anything (is part of our daily life beyond phones..it's even part of the human nature :)) so expect someone will always not be happy no matter what.

IMHO if these "unhappy" people approach the thread pointing out with respect and in a constructive argument I think is valid, because this can be productive and positive to address issues of a rom, kernel or whatever development is going on. At the end, this can turn in a positive outcome for development of the rom, kernel etct for the benefit of the entire community.

On the other hand, If the approach of members is with the tone or intention of trolling or disrespecting the dev or other members is something that myself and XDA are not willing to allow or tolerate.

Sorry for derailing the thread with my post, just wanted to pointed this out.

Please report members who are disturbing the thread and I personally will take action.

Cheers and back on topic please.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Hi. Have been using 5.2 for a few hours now and one thing I would like to have is a higher in-call volume. Its too low for my liking. Any suggestions regarding how I can increase it ?
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
I've been on c5 since the initial release and have only had battery recalibration issues. I expect that. Actually my battery has been functioning better than ever. Don't want that to sound like I'm "rubbing it in." Just the truth. I feel very lucky right now. Should buy a lottery ticket.

I've got a 1008 Captivate if you want to know.

EDIT: Also, the only widget I run is Google Voice Inbox. My launcher is currently HeLauncher and the only thing I've changed from the ROM is the modem as you can see in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
I've tried every gb rom and haven't seen the bug. 1006

Not a fan of the boot animation.

Got Ginger?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Don't let those bad apples get under your skin. We all know you're a great dev! I can honestly say that I've tried all the gb roms and yours is the most stable.

Keep up the awesome work mate.

Got Ginger?
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I've been getting great battery performance too (in RC3, 5.1 and 5.2), and when I saw your comment about the modem, I realized that I had flashed a different modem as well. Following the instructions in the How To W/Pack thread, I flashed the JK4 modem. This doesn't get overwritten when flashing a rom, right?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Actually it does. The ROM package includes the ROM, Kernel and Modem.
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
Yea seriously, EFF those people who are calling you down. This is probably the best rom I've used on any android phone, period. And I've definitely let my friends who have a captivate know about it as well. The battery life is legendary, and the speed is ridiculous.

Once you iron out the issues with TW4 it will be perfect.

Signed,

Donald, loyal C5 user since b1.
[Captivate Android Development] jdubdieslo:
confused. why flash rc2? and not rc3 or 5.2? can you please explain. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Think ill skip 5.2 for now, 5.1 is running great. Awesome work cezar.
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
It's a no wipe, you might as well
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I've tried all your ROMS since Continuum 3.X, never had any major issues, and whatever minors ones are there generally get fixed in the subsequent releases. Thanks for the awesome work and the endless hours. :)

EDIT: By the way there is one thing that happens from these bad posts, the post count of the thread suddenly shoots up ;)
[Captivate Android Development] poo22:
This might have been stated before, but the android lockscreen clockfont is ugly. Please change it back to the stock one.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
Should I be concerned that I am only getting a quadrant score of 784 with 5.2? I understand that it is not overclocked like 5.1 was but this is the lowest score I have ever seen on this phone for any ROM and I was wondering if there was something wrong with the install, it seems to get hung up at the I/O part of the test.

Other than that it seems to be running fine but I have to wonder what is causing the low score and what other people are getting with stock 5.2
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I posted this a few pages back, but I think it got lost in the shuffle. Any held would be appreciated, but I'm very happy with this ROM in general.

I'm not sure what it is, but somewhere between RC3, 5.1 and 5.2 (as well as switching to ext4) it became a lot more difficult to connect the phone to the computer to transfer files.

If Debugging is on, I don't have the opportunity to see the phone's hard drive. If I turn it off, I can see it, but the computer calls it a camera and when I move a file to it, nothing happens. I can move files using Wifi explorer, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
I don't know if this has been addressed but my phone always reloads all my home screens everytime I unlock the phone or come back to the home screen. It also seems that the phone is killing tasks randomly. Like browser and Facebook. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
In settings/wireless and network/USB settings is it set to usb storage?
[Captivate Android Development] ugoff:
Icezar, many thanks for making these phones usable, and furthermore for doing it so rapidly. I sent some 'thanks' via Paypal, confirmation number 1NM09770VP763554D.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
What version? Seems like some app is eating your memory. Try task manager to look into it.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
I personally really like it. To each his own...
[Captivate Android Development] rons_sacramental:
Reboot in recovery n then select Clear Data.

It should solve the problem.

I had same problem clear data solved it.
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:
I did but still i reflashed like 5 times and still im.getting frustrated
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
benchmarks and "feel" aside the browser in this is smooth as butter. video player too. there were good kernels for 2.2.1 that i could run @800mhz and the rom felt similar but even overclocked the browser was never this good!. time to try out some blue ray rips!

also this install apps fast! dont know what the differnce is but the market seems way better.

my only complaint is battery drain! :eek: i have been obsessively turning the screen on and off just to watch the crt animation :D :p
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
umn wtf??

1. Download the package with bootloaders from here | mirror | torrent

none of those are links ? ='(
[Captivate Android Development] maerlim:
after you flash continuum, go back to recovery and clear cache and factory reset again
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
yes they are.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
They click and work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
this was a pain in the arse for me, had the screen go funky colors several times while in download mode resultng in the phone + computer screen :eek:

needed to flash to stock with pit and repartition (no bootloaders, cuz that would be dangerous i use jh2 for this because it was better than jf6 and i didnt know about the "safe" jf6 till recently) let it boot and setup data, shut down, boot into recovery, clear data, clear cache, PULL BATTERY!, 3button download and flash version with bootloaders, bootloader upgrade ticked, without repartition or pit. then it worked. now im all :D
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
update chrome and now its fixed my bad
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
maybe its just because im overtired/worked but where are the links for step 7?

7. Open ODIN and load continuum5.tar.md5 or continuum5boot.tar.md5 in PDA field. Leave everything else as it is (dont change anything).

edit: unless its included in the c50dinboot.zip file which im currently downloading
[Captivate Android Development] rons_sacramental:
It is in the folder you downloaded for bootloders. The folder has all files imcluding odin.
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
how do i remove titanium backup its pissing me off to no end now and in

adb its offline
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
icezar1 -- thanks for your rom, would be great if you could include the proper android.software.sip.voip.xml in the /system/etc/permissions/ in the next revision.

I do have some gb/rom-specific questions, any help would be appreciated:

1. There's no icon for the sip account status, is there?

2. Can't find an option to sort the app drawer by name -- where is it?

3. I've removed all extra screens and left only 3 which I need, is it possible to make #2 my default home screen? how?

4. I miss my dandelion live wp and the one (3rd party) I got from market crashes. Where can I get the gb-compatible live wallpapers?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
the organization in alphebetical is why i love the list view. you will need to change the launcher to get the other grid back. there are a few in sgs tools. be sure to clear data on twlauncher before you install a new version
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
does anyone know the exact filename for titanium backup

so far i tried

rm system/apps/titanium backup.apk

titaniumbackup.apk

com.keramidas.titaniumbackup.apk

edit

got it first did

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

then su

i allowed super user access on the phone

then ls system/app

rm system/app/TiBu.apk

exit

exit

adb reboot
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
just flashes this confirmed the flashing process went fine (followed your instructions).

really excited to see this and where it goes =)

feels really really fast so far

btw howcome theres no lagfix option available? (not that it needs it just outta curiosity? is it because we dont know how 2 for gb yet?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
that's part of the kernel, xcaliburhand is working on many things to make this work o ntha captivate, he may hold off on that till the kernel is more functional. maybe next build, maybe the one after that.
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
I thought it was because GB already had "lagfix", being the EXT4 filesystem instead of the RFS filesystem used on stock 2.1/2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
pretty sure it's still rfs. this isnt aosp or anything.

[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Thanks again Cezar for your amazing hard work!!!

Do any of you know how come the notification for the stock email app sometimes showed up and sometimes not? Is it a settings issue or? ?
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Ugly?

I don't see a problem with it at all. Looks good to me.

is there any way to get the camera app from the GR rom working on this?
[Captivate Android Development] ztoloev:
Email Force Close

I just put 5.2 coming from 4 and i just installed 5.2 over it of course first changing the bootloaders and the kernel an then flash. All went OK and without a glitch, with the exeption of two little things:

I get FC on the home launcher and on the Email application.

Can somebody give a hand with this. Thank you

AWESOME ROM
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
It's a matter of opinion, but I'm with poo22 on this one...
[Captivate Android Development] 10ee:
I had this issue previously on 5.1, so I did a wipe before and after I upgraded to 5.2 and so far, so smooth. I did it from the recovery menu on the kernel by shutting down and holding volume UP + power until the "GT-I9000" flashed a third time.

I also wiped the Dalvik cache to be safe. Sometimes old apps and settings can cause issues.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I enjoyed beta3 so much I only just updated to 5.2. So smooth :) Thanks Cezar for a well-refined ROM.

I'm prolly gonna be happy here until I get BLN in the kernel. I miss not having to turn my screen on to check for texts :)
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
That's actually not a choice. The choices are:

Samsung Kies

Media Player

Mass Storage

It was set to Media Player, so I changed it to Mass Storage and that did the trick.

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
That's what I meant.

YAY!!! i have a success! my phone bootlooped at the boot screen then i waited til after school the booted it up. it froze and reset on the first then it booted completely the second time.YAY!!!!!!:D:):D:)
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
To be unappreciated ...such is the life of the programmer. No matter how much time you put into something it is never going to be done. Its human nature to pick out the faults since most people expect a near perfect ROM and then start counting off faults that they find. As the developer, you start with virtually nothing, risk your own hardware to bring the parts together in to a working package and when you finally have something that is 98% you claim sucess!! (and rightfully so). No matter how good you get it, it will never be good enough for some people. They dont realize the long nights and the beating your head against the wall that has gone into getting to the 98% mark.

You like building ROMS's then your first priority is you and what you want. Expect the BS and let it roll off your back. Keep doing it if you want to, stop if you dont.

I have to say, that your explaination and instructions for burning this ROM were the best I have ever seen and it was actually possible to follow the directions. You explainations on "why" and not just what were very much appreciated and contributed greatly to the community in shear understanding of what the tools do and why. Thanks for your efforts they are truly appreciated by more than you know.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I had a similar problem...it wouldnt boot then I got PO'd and set it down for a bit, came back and it booted. Restoring apps and will see if all went well. Im hoping memory usage is better on my phone with 5.2. First time I ever had it boot like that but no worries, good support here.

Actually it seemed to have wiped my text messages. That's the only thing it wiped though. Anyone else notice that?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
There is a link in the OP to a theme thread maintained by shoman94. There are three in that set that are compatible with C5.1 and C5.2.

If you start playing with the i9000 ones, they may or may not work on the surface, but you always run the risk of losing some of the customizations and fixes that Cezar put in this ROM. The ones that shoman ported are specifically for this ROM.
