SMS backup and restore from Rishee I think his name is and it is good practice to ONLY restore Apps with Data back onto Roms you will find as previously mentioned that things will start to crash and or cause lag or issues on stability within the ROM.

EDIT : I'm in the process of restoring all of my apps now and so far the Rom seems very smooth and stable. I will update if I experience anything that anyone else here has not already come accross. The big performance issue I have seen through the other itterations of this Rom have been going on WiFi to the internet. Seems the performance went way down or lagged quite a bit only when I did that. Also noticed issues with Bluetooth on previous and connecting to other devices to send files. I will give that a go and let you know. Other than mentioned it all seems to be working very stable so far.

Touchwiz: Changing Default Homescreen to Center one. (3 If u have 7)

Cezar/anyone,

Can u tell me which XML and how to open/Edit it? Cos the XML's inside are Not well formatted/in a Different format.. When tried to open in Notepad/IE/PrimalScript its all Zibrish. (XML's from Touchwiz, Opened with 7zip) Thanks in Advance.

I read about default.prop but when I open it.. Its already

ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3

ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=7

even though it says 3 is the default screen still it goes back to 1.
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I know exactly what you mean. Everything is smooth for me using RFS except for occasionally a sudden hitch when swiping screens or something simple like that. It gets a little worse if I change to EXT. I'm not sure if this is a valid indicator, but I usually watch the "hallway" video on quadrant. When the ROM I'm using is running smooth, the video through the main hallway is basically smooth. It the ROM is not, I see lots of sudden "jerks" in the video as if the processor is suddenly giving bursts of speed instead of a continuouse smooth processing of the video. I may be way off but it seems to work that way for me.

On C5.5, I'm getting very poor wifi connection. Weak signal or it either drops in and out. Sitting right next to the box, too.

I've tried all my trusted and faithful modems.

Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
glad you mentioned that. I dont have it as bad as you but I do have 3 out of 4 bars while sitting next to my wifi device. Good enough for me, though.
[Captivate Android Development] pixbuf:
What happened to Astro?

I installed v5.5 over v5.4.1. Everything went fine except Astro File Manager didn't get restored. I can't find it in the TiBu list of backed up files. When I try to download it from the market, it says it's installed. When I try to uninstall it (so I can reinstall it) it says it can't be uninstalled. The same thing happened to me with Voodoo Control in 5.4.1, but I was able to get a hold of the .apk and install that in Astro. I don't know what I can do now.

Suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
is anyone getting superslow data connections with 5.5? or is that just ATT being slow today?
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery again, I noticed this the other day when I was piddle fartn with something but not that exactly
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
I've had superslow connections forr the last few days with att, I wish they would put edge only back in my Home area atleast then I had a reliable connection. Getting real irritated with ATT lately may be time to look at VZW again.

But I do think there is something with 5.5 had a mediocre signal and data connection before update, now I can barely get a signal, gonna play with modems here in a little bit.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I had this problem on 5.4.1 and still have it on 5.5. When I pull the usb from the phone the wifi sleep policy goes to 'Never' and if I don't remember to change it back to 'When screen turns off' my battery drains within 6 or 7 hours. Can the default be made to 'When screen turns off'. I reported this a few days ago when I was on 5.4.1 but never got a response.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Thank you icezar and existz, this ROM and kernel are great. Thanks for feeding my flashing addiction just in time.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
That doesn't seem normal though. I'm always set to "Never", with Wifi on 24/7 and my battery is fine. 90% of the time I'm within Wifi range though, I don't know if that's the difference. But when I'm out and about I've never noticed a drastic battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
This is ridiculously smooth. Wifi works great for me and data speeds are phenomenal..4.48 mbps @ 228pm in chicago is unheard of to me. Im on jvo modem
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Is anyone using the voltage control app with this rom? What are the settings your find work best for you?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I wish I got what you got. I've for zero bars where I usually get four. I'll try a reflash.

Edit: Reflashed and stil had same wifi issue, so this happens on both Talon and Xcal kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
hey Hkeyman, how did you flash the Honeycomb ported theme?.. just regular install Zip?
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
Just download the updated zip, slap it on the phone and flash thru cwm3

For those who say Xcal's kernel is less laggy. How can you use 1.2 when its made for JVH not JVO?
[Captivate Android Development] pixbuf:
I had wiped the cache and Dalvik cache before I flashed the ROM, but I tried it again. After that it took several tried but I finally got it to download and install.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] hkeyman:
@Marcopolo1 reboot into recovery and install from sdcard. Make sure your using CWM3 or ypu may get the version incompatible message. These themes are also ported fir this version of Continuum 5.5 if ypur using a different ROM I would not install it will create issues on ypur build you are in. But if in 5.5 then flash away and enjoy. Make sure to thank these guys too...great devs here.

Transported via XDA Premium App From Hkeyman's (Phone)i897 Captivate, (ROM)Continuum v5.5

(Kernel) Talon 0.1.7

(Theme) HoneyComb Port 5.5

(Modem) JP9
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:
This Rom is still running great...I have voltage set to 1000/SIO ....(Ext4)......

No changes to the setup..but i am using Launcher Pro!!!

I have NO lag...video is smooth and wifi is very good in this poor area...downloads are quick..SO FAR SO GOOD:D
[Captivate Android Development] zeezz:
I was getting this starting from last night on both this ROM and GR-12. Approx 1.5mbps is the highest I've seen since then on a variety of modems (stock, JK4, JVO, etc)... Prior to that I was getting up to 3.5mbps on Serendipity. This is in San Jose, CA.

It's either Gingerbread, AT&T, or the modems i'm picking ... I hate troubleshooting... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] lifanus:
Few Month ago when i still had my iphone 4, speed is about 700kb-3mb down and 500k-1.2mb up.

today tested on continuum, amazing it enabled captivate's HSUPA and made upload jump from 300kb on stock to 1.2mb in this ROM. Download stayed about same at 1.2-1.7MB
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
What are your tweak settings?
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:
I am getting 3.63 MB

Does anyone have dsp manager working on v5.5?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
im having media playback issues on PlayerPro when the screen is off. the audio playback is super choppy. no issue on the previous release.

Im on 5.5

anyone else havin this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Chuck D wuttup! Whats dsp? And im not really feelin that new default font lol gonna search for some
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:


Make sure media stagefright tweak is disabled....ive noticed it kinda screws with alotta stuff...try a reboot also
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
Had this exact issue. The thing that was installed was the key, had to redownload the free version. After that it was fine.

TiBU has been nothing but a pain in the behind lately.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
TiBu now has the option to change system apps to user apps and vice versa. If you convert Astro to a "user app" you will then be able to delete it at will.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
thank you man, i will give it a try now, and of course,, thanks to cezar we are enjoying a nice rom
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Im not saying it makes any sense because it doesn't but I had gps and wifi issues and converted back to rfs and now both are great.
[Captivate Android Development] 98tiburonfx:
cezar any chance of doing a stripped version like you did on 4?
[Captivate Android Development] Adame8:
where is the kernal located in the zip?

i cant seem to find it.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
The version up is essentially stripped, it's unthemed stock samsung
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Well tried this 6 hrs ago at work. Followed everything to the letter. And wow. Really really snappy. Makes my choice hard on to get the infuse or not. If u were working on roms for the infuse i wouldn't have no issue deciding.

Great rom.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Unfortunately, I was already on rfs when experiencing my wifi woes. If JV9 = JVO, from what I've read, then I might flash Simply to see if I get different results.

Right now, I am back on 5.4.1 to get back my wifi. LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] TheriaultAJ:
I hope/think Cezar is implementing the newest Sense into a Gingerbread version of Sensation. I have my hopes up.

Sent from Cezar's 1.2GT. The original.

hey is landscape mode while typin a text works for u guys well???

for me in the landscape mode, i see the keyboard, i also see the name of whom i sending the text..this blocks the actual window where im supposed to type my message...
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
I think I've lost the lock screen sounds when I went from 5.4.1->wipe->5.5. Yeah, I have them enabled in settings, but not hearing them.

Did you flash the JVH or JVB version of xcal's kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
its in rom.zip>updates and is called zimage
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
JVH. JVB is not compatible with 5.5 ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
That has got to be the strangest bug I have ever seen! I have been flashing ROMs since I bought my old HTC 8525 back in 2007 and I have never seen any issues like yours. Does this only happen on Continuum or does this happen on all GB ROMs?
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
May not be normal but with my phone on never sleep it does eat up battery much faster.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Anybody on the Roges Network in Canada? What modem are you using, is the one with latest 5.5 Rom acceptable?? I know normally ive been using UGJK4 modem.

Just wondering if anyone is using the one that came with the Rom?
[Captivate Android Development] keitaroguy:
I was able to put in the SGSII lockscreen from the I9000 mod with 5.4.1 has anyone able to do it to 5.5 I been getting errors when I do it. I know its for JVH not JVO but I liked how it worked an I so do not want to go to another ROM. Can someone teach me how to do it so I can use it for 5.5? Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
It says that it is roaming but its not. However, I get pretty annoyed by that 'R' on top of the signal bars so I just use jk4 or kc1. Even jl3 gives me the roaming signal :-(
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
Same thing happened to me, I just replaced it with gb keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
ive only tried continuum, mosaic and mikeys ROMs but its happened on all of them. the thing is that it doesnt happen during the flash to stock gingerbread, only when i flash to a custom gingerbread ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
I confirm too Talon is sometimes lagging. I am using re-oriented and fine.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I have not tried it myself. I had it installed on 5.4 and it worked great. I am keeping 5.5 completely stock, since it's a new build. However, you could run a backup from recovery and try it. If it doesn't work you could just flash your backup.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
just flashed 5.5. all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for all the work you guys did to this rom. its AMAZING!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
No problems here on Rogers with stock modem, kc1 works really well too better than jk4 imho.
[Captivate Android Development] neo_31591:
oh ok thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Under the Perfect Keyboard settings, go to "Tweaks" and uncheck "No landscape fullscreen."

Thanks Icezar1
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
Flashed 5.5 this morning and so far so good. Great job, sir!

Pros: Clean, no nonsense, mostly fast and smooth, Voodoo Control Pro functional

Cons: Still prone to occasionally lagging to a standstill, no BLN, didn't meet me at the door with a steak dinner and wearing a secure nightgown

First thing to do after flashing: open up the tweak app, uncheck everything, and apply. Yep, turn them ALL off. Stuttering and lag went away almost completely.

The ROM is fine. The kernel is fine. The tweaks seem to be one step forward and three steps back.

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Do you know if you need to do the 'dance' with KC1 on 5.5, or is it set to go with 850 like JQ1, JP9, etc.?
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
+1. Yes. I kind of just have to let it sit for a LONG time, even though it looks like it is done. even then, it will usually have to force close at least once before it works well.
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
5.5, Can't select another keyboard

I just flashed 5.5 and did a titanium restore. I cannot pick or enable another keyboard. It seems "stuck" on "Samsung keypad".

Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I see people complaining about it all the time. This is due to apps moved to sdcard (not recommended). However, did anyone report this to the LP dev???
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
GRRRR. I didn't even realize my apps were going to SD. I have plenty of space.

I'll move these to internal AND contact LP author. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
I may have done that. I know Astro Pro had an update not to long ago as well. I could have sworn the pro and free versions used to be completely separate apps though at one point.

So I will give TiBU a pass... this time ;-)

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
What?!? Why would we complain to the LP dev about problems with the LP app when we can complain in your ROM thread where no one can actually fix it?

Pass that bong before you hurt yourself with that crazy talk!

;-)

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] XorZone:
Press settings button on keyboard and select input method. To go back (from swype) long press swype key with settings sign on it.

Can you please make a stock GB battery without the battery %? Would be appreciated :2
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You can make one in uot kitchen if you'd like.
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
Is it possible to remove the dull, boring green notification icons for the regular, 2.2 ones? I have no idea why Google decided to make Gingerbread so ugly and themed, but I seek to reverse it. Same for the pull-down "Wifi, Bluetooth, etc" list.

And the battery icon is fine and all, but what happened to the previous one? The new one is a bit small.

I hope it doesn't seem like I am nitpicking. These are simply the things that bug me. Gingerbread has always bugged me with it's bizarre pitch-black and off lime green colours, the black notification menu instead of grey, the black menu popups instead of white. I'll understand if these are those "GUI Features" mentioned for Gingerbread and I'll adapt, I'll just be confused at who makes the decisions for Android, as I always have.

It's just so devoid of colour. It's a damn shame. Even the settings screens, all the font is white now, instead of white headlines and blue text. Even little things like that were changed, and they're for the worse.

At least they finally removed the stupid checkmark system. Now when a box is unchecked, the checkmark disappears. Impressive.

All in all, that's what I'm wondering. If the answer is no, oh well, the text selecting changes ALONE are worth the upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
Freakin' Sweet!!!

Wow! Very well done! Gonna compare with CM7 and the stock I9000 update and get a comparison, but this is smooth as butter! not a single FC and absolutely no problems flashing at all. Thought I would mention that I do notice a bit more heat being generated from right under the Galaxy S logo on the back cover. This also happened with the last CM7 build I tried though so who knows.. Picking up my Inspire 4G tomorrow so I plan on keeping the captivate around to monkey with GB builds. Thanks for the tasty GB cookie!:D
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
So RFS is working better than ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
On this build for what ever reason its as smooth as any froyo ext4 rom I tried, even though its on RFS its amazing if you think how laggy stock 2.1 is. This is smooth like butter on hot toast!

I just bought voodoo control plus, best $2.00 I've ever dropped. I didn't listen to music without voodoo but with it is amazing. Much better then even voodoo froyo it seems like. Plus I was happy to donate to supercurio, even though $2 is wayy less then he deserves for his work!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Yeah, I like the Voodoo Sound as well. Nice to hear that things are smooth without lagfix but I still think it is unlikely that the current rfs system would be better than a lagfix ext4 one. Looking forward to trying this once the kernel is more solid.
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
It would be hard to say that, but I have used the i9000 kernels with ext4 and orientation disabled and then the xcal kernel with RFS and I don't think there is a perceptual difference. I know that ext4 outperforms it on benchmarks though.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Just noticed the kernel was updated today with the screen rotation fix? Am I seeing things?
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I honestly can't see anything wrong with this that it cannot be a daily driver even right now. This feels more of a daily then anything before and with xcals latest kernel with auto rotate there's really only nit picky things like gb keyboard not included (which I fixed by flashing mtm keyboard no problem) and linking ring and notification volume. Add SIP calling and I can't think of anything more. Try it out and you'll not want to go back!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
@ keith - no... the question is... are you seeing this "upside down"?

@ alex - your whole post sounded negative, but youll never go back!...

lookin to stock for me... stock... eww....

might be goin back...
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
No, Leftside up. I have no idea what you are asking.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Definatly don't mean anything negative with my post I am very happy with how it is right now like I said just have a few nit picky things id like to see implimented.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
depends on the benchmark. quadrant heavily favors ext file systems but antutu actually rate rfs as faster than voodoo and as fast as jfs, nothing compares to ext4 or jfs+ext2 loopback on either benchmark as far as the kernels we have available right now go. but throughput or read/right is not everything there will be a point that increasing throughput is pointless.

the idea that lagfix was needed in first place is questionable in my eyes, there was no quantifiable evidencne ever posted that showed that is was smoother or less laggy in everyday use. actually early kernel mods done by unhelpful made more difference in wakeup lag and had a more significant effect on lag. i recall being in bestbuy and picking up a captivate and thinking "wow this is smooth, it is as smooth as my phone" wondering if it was on kb1 froyo, i checked the about phone and it was on jf7.

no offence to the lagfix supporters or developers but i firmly believe that it was in a big part placebo effect, i have even had lagfix disabled and forgot about it and was surprised when i went to load a new rom when i tried disabling it because i had seen no ill effects without it. but i admit that with lagfix i occasionally saw increases in other scores such as 3d framerates however slight possibly resulting from better throughput. this is not to say that i dont use it when available. i do like to see what kind of benchmark scores i can get, i wish we could get a nilfs2 kernel like some of the other galaxy s phones just for S&Gs.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I noticed a huge difference with and without lagfix in the ROM's I have used over the past year.. I don't think it is placebo at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
if it was placebo you wouldn't know it. but we can agree to disagree.
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
This rom RULES as a daily driver. Better than Phoenix Ultimate, Cognition and Andromeda 3 combined! That said I've only been using it for a day now, but so far the impression is really good!

Didn't accidently restore system data by any chance?

Maybe wipe data in CWM?

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
I restored user apps only. But I'm thinking to look for some system keyboard/inputs components and try to wipe cache on those alone.

Otherwise, I'll try wiping all data, check, then re-flash if needed.
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
After checking and moving everything to internal, LP boots fine. no delay, no force close.

Any speculation if the apps on SD are only a problem if they are made into a shortcut? Or is it generally a problem with LP and any apps on SD?
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
If you don't plan on using it you could try using TiBU to uninstall that keyboard and see if it lets you pick the one you want.

No dancing, just straight flashing :) Make sure you use the CWM 3 versions
