[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Can someone compare speed, responsiveness, etc... to the froyo ROMs they've ran on their phone.
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
I think the "stats" are not relevant now. there is no lagfix. But if you want to compare against stock, yeah.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Does this rom have a theme switcher similar to cyanogenmod?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
What do you mean by preceding animation ? Do you mean I9000 splash screen ?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
No

10 char
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
It's already comparable to a lagfix out of the box...
[Captivate Android Development] b3asty:
No. I mean the animation following that screen and the illuminated S. Perhaps I was never flashing back to stock (lol)... Thanks to Harpo, I might be on the right path now. I will see shortly. I was thinking that the master clear procedure was actually flashing back to stock as well. Whoops...
[Captivate Android Development] rivtre:
Color Sharpness fix possible?
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
hopefully a good kernel will come of this
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Huh? Should be seeing over 1400 quadrant when compared to other scores from various Froyo ROM's. I am willing to bet the I/O portion of Quadrant is the slowdown. Benchmarks aren't an exact science but in my experience comparing the results from various ROM's with/without lag fix and other tweaks, the current results are not good enough for me personally. Once lag fix is implemented, I am sure this will be much better. And yes, I do notice the difference in real world use compared to the scores.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I would recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes... I dn't know which animation you are talking about, but yes first boot can take some time ,and the S animation will keep on looping during that.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Were u able to get it back?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
lol why would people still care about quadrant scores.....it was not developed to measure the performance of samsung cpu's...anyways I am reading that after flashing this it is difficult to gt back to stock can anyone confirm this? is there a sure shot method to come back to stock 2.1????
[Captivate Android Development] sweepstakes:
What's this?

The captivate just retook it's rightful position in 'Top Devices'

Hooray!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Because it is a benchmark you can use on the same device under different conditions and learn the differences in scores (on the same device) and feel the actual differences in real use. I have used it from probably 10 ROM's and kernels under different settings including with lag fix and without and overclocking CPU and not. It is a good benchmark when you compare your same device under different conditions and does equate to real use performance whether you want to believe it or not.
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Thats the Sammy "S". I was in the "S" for about 5 minutes. I suggest you wait a bit longer.

If not, get to Download and see if a reflash works
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Yeah I noticed that too... for past week or so it was not there in top devices. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Guys, repartition should be checked ONLY when you want to change the partition size and ONLY for that you need a PIT.

PIT=Partition Information Table, there was an entire thread in i9000 regarding this.

It tells ODIN how to make the partitions on the phone and what space to allocate them. Best one is 512 (released in 12 of May 2010 - thats what the name means).

So, no repartition and no PIT when going back to stock using my safe method.

PS: I know guys from samfirmware were saying that you need a PIT for when you flash 3 files at the same time. Well, I cannot say that they are wrong, maybe the PIT tells ODIN where to put the content. Anyway, my method has only 1 file so no partition, no pit, no change in ODIN. Just load the tar in pda section and flash
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Cezar,

Since s lot of people are having charging issue with all GB roms, I was thinking what do they all have in common? Auto rotate came to mind. I turned mine off b/c I dont like adw rotating my home page. I also turn flight mode on for about 10 minutes when I plug in. So far, charging issue hasn't reappeared. Just wanted to let you know, since I was having that problem before, and for now it's n not an issue.

Also,been on C5rc3 since friday, when Juwes started charge issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I believe its because i left it on the whole time, not sure though.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
waitin for RC4:D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:

I only turn auto rotate when needed. I have never see the charging issue.
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
First I have to say great work love the rom. I have a bit of a problem my phone was working great with this rom up until yesterday I'm getting random freezes for five to ten minutes sometimes the phone doesn't recover from it and I need to restart. Is anybody sharing my problem, and if so does anybody have an idea how to fix it
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Doesn't the talon kernel come UV'd by default?
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
That would explain why I have not had a charging issue. I never have auto rotate enabled. Even if you're wrong, brilliant idea!
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
Forced Upload by key pressing

Anyone have any experience with a shot that looks like this (brought about by hitting volume UP when in CWM and also after getting the rom booted a volume up causes the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Need clarification

Guys, need some clarification for moving to v5. First, I'm using the AIO Captivate Tool box, which has all the tools under a single umbrella. A couple of dumb questions ( would rather ask dumb questions,instead of ending up with a paperweight).

1) Under the Flash to Stock option, the AIO Tool Box has both 1 Click Odin and 3 Button Fix. As per my understanding, I can move to stock using 1 Click Odin and to flash the boot loaders and the kernel, can I use the 3 Button Fix ?

2) So, can I just select the PDA option in 3 Button Fix for flashing both boot loader and kernel ? Does the kernel need any special options to be checked while flashing ?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I think so. -50 all the way down, with 1200 the only thing not modified.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
harpo1 was asking another memeber if he was undervolted at all because of his phone freezing. I thought so but wanted to double check.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
I never turn on auto-rotate, and I had the charging issue. Up until RC3 that is.
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Any chance the RC 4 to be released today cezar? Thanks again for the great work/rom!
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I went from Paragon to CS5 RC1 and then RC3. Only turn on auto rotate when needed. Did not see charging issue on either RC1 or RC3.

Did you imply you did not see charging issue on RC3?
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:

I hope :)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I wasn't suggesting that was the answer to all our problems, merely trying to help put more info about when/where/etc charging issue occurs. Auto rotate is something I noticed. I also noticed that Uninstalling Maps seemed to reduce a large amount of battery use. I dont know why. Just works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
if you read OP it says do not use 3 button fix.

1) Under the Flash to Stock option, the AIO Tool Box has both 1 Click Odin and 3 Button Fix. As per my understanding, I can move to stock using 1 Click Odin and to flash the boot loaders and the kernel, can I use the 3 Button Fix ?

2) So, can I just select the PDA option in 3 Button Fix for flashing both boot loader and kernel ? Does the kernel need any special options to be checked while flashing ?
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Read and follow the instructions in the OP. Otherwise you may end up with an expensive paperweigh.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Yes did read them, but still needed the above clarifications. :(

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
Are you asking if you can use your own pit and pda files from AIO's 3button option (instead of his)? I dont know but probably. I think it just runs odin (version 1.83 or something). I think this OP still uses 1.3 for what he does. I just went and looked and even though AIO includes a PIT file (partition information) in this "three button fix" option, he does not specify or automatically check the "repartition" box. I dont know why????

Also, if you have installed ATT official Froyo 2.2 from AT&T the new 3e recovery built into that wont allow you to flash anything without the proper signature. You cant root or "install packages" like from the 2e recovery built into AT&T 2.1.

Apparently, once you have the gingerbread bootloaders installed you can go back to stock and keep the new 2.3 bootloaders if you need to (but you have to ensure no bootloaders are in the back to stock flash)
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Sorry I dont use AIO toolbox. I use 1-click Odin to get back to stock. I don't use 3-button fix.

With regards to kernel, there is no option except to uncheck the reboot box, took the battery out and boot into recovery then you can install RC3 from there (assume you move RC3 into your SD card before all this).
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
Correct, I had the charger issue all the way up until RC3.

I was also just adding feedback :)
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
It's 4am where Cezar is, so no RC4 today most likely.

Probably tomorrow though!
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Yes. I'm not sure what version of 3 button AIO is using and thats causing some confusion. I also looked at the the following video for installation steps, but looks like things have changed since then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9PKsk32Y0s

Looks like things are confusing at this point. Will wait for some more time and will give this one pass by for now :(
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
I have the 1 click ODIN too, but I guess we need the 3-button Odin for boot loader and kernel flashing. Which is the specific version of 3-button ODIN should I use and where can I find it ?
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
I have auto-rotate always off and I still have the charging issue.

Also, I did a test over the weekend on battery life. My battery life was pretty terrible, getting a good 12 hours of decent use, like 2 hours screen time, some texts, 20-30 minutes of phone calls, but with wifi always turned on. This weekend I left wifi off the whole time, just running off of the data network, and got much better battery life. Apparently the wifi is a pretty serious drain, at least on my phone. Now it will either be turned off or set to off when screen is off. This was all done running RC3 with talon 0.1.4.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Thanks. All info helps.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
i am sad now :(
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Use one click to get to stock and down load this for odin3 version 1.3 and use it for installing the bootloaders and the kernel.

http://www.multiupload.com/4JLU4QHUV7
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
OK.

Yes, the instructions have changed quite a bit... At the beginning there were a *boot* package with odin inside the zip package. let me know if you need it. I can send it to you.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I gave them a lnk to odin 3 1.3 a couple post up.

Want to say I installed this ROM on the newest kernal (0.1.4) around 3 hours ago.. the phone is flawless.. no battery issues or anything of the kind so far.

Thanks for all the hard work... this rom makes the phone seem like it was supposed to be this responsive from the factory.

If you are using an older talon kernel, update to the latest. More ram and less freezing when in app drawers with two many apps and other launcher intensive activities. Hopefully this be helpful....
[Captivate Android Development] yahooserious:
I have been having problems of the screen going black and phone unresponsive thru TW launcher.. I think thats what it is. Im using a different launcher now to confirm this.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Has anyone had any severe performance issues with this ROM, or had applications randomly disappear? After a few reboots where things seemed fine, I noticed I couldn't launch some of my apps (I'd get the "Application not installed" error and have to redownload them). On top of that, when receiving text messages or launching/closing a few apps, my entire phone slows to a crawl, where even attempting to open the task manager or power menu takes up to a minute (while turning off the screen still works just fine, even the lock screen won't appear sometimes). I don't have anything running in the background besides the Voodoo control service

I'm using GO Launcher, if it matters, but I've had the same issue using Launcher Pro. I'm on the latest Talon kernel. I'm scared to clear my cache/dalvik-cache because the last time I did that, all my apps disappeared as if I performed a factory reset.

Also, I cannot get CWM3 to flash any of my packages. They are signed and using Edify, but CWM instantly says "Installation aborted" without any errors.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:

Is anybody else having issues with running angry birds or other apps/games on this? I flashed it now that I try playing some games they dont work and I am using handcent sms and that doesnt work either I figure that it is because its on 2.3.3 and an update hasnt been made for it but I do not really want to go through all the apps now and figure out what works and what doesnt.
[Captivate Android Development] msapi:
all 3 versions of angry birds is working fine for me. restored it using Tibu.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
After restoring Angry Birds with TiBu, it was 'Not Installed' after a reboot. I just redownloaded it from the market and now it's working.
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
I'm still on beta3, but I have no problem running Angry Birds at all.

BTW, I don't think there's any correlation between auto-rotate and battery charging issue. Never had the auto-rotate on and still had the problem. I've also just tried charging the phone switched off and sure enough the display shows 100% but the moment I unplug it and switch on I get 94% which to me indicates there's a charging issue even with the phone switched off.
[Captivate Android Development] snaai8:
Could you post the standart wallpaper? Mine's gone D:
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
First, charging issue is back.

When checking cpuspy, phone had not entered deep sleep for entire charge cycle. 100mhz was showing the almost the exact same time as

Keep the lights on was active.

Also, showed 1200mhz state was used for 21 second, but my clock speed is limited to 1000mhz. Something different though was I forgot to take phone out of flight mode after I plugged in.

EDIT1 Just noticed the percentage numbers in cpuspy are showing negative (-48%).
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
I guess I'm lucky as I haven't had any charging issues. Plus this ROM has given me the best battery life out of all the other ROMs I've installed. Excellent work Cezar!!
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Everything worked fine until...

I tried to go from RFS to EXT4. Whoops. Phone didn't like that, unmounted everything, couldn't install anything from CWM.

Basically just went back into download mode and started all over. Reinstalling C5 now.

I agree. This is the best battery life I've ever gotten with this phone. I just went almost 48 hours without a charge. Granted, I didn't use my phone quite as much during that time as usual, but I did use it some and it was on the entire time.
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
Can anybody tell me the name of the weather widget used with Continuum 5? I tried all the accuweather related widgets but none of them looked like this one?
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
odd, after never having the charge issue, I now have it

This was after/during when I tried out Perception II and flashed back to C5, flashed on a couple themes.

I am going to try re-flashing the kernel with Odin, then if that doesn't work, reflash with SGS kernel flasher.

Note to those with the issue, one way to make it bearable is to set wifi to off or off when screen off...leaving it on drains way faster after it hits charge.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Edit never mind

[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
It seems that Samsung is a little jealous of Cezar's work with their release of the Samsung Continuum i400 smartphone... specs out as a Captivate made for a different carrier and Bing instead of Google. Throw Cezar's ROM at it and one would have a complete package. LOL

They messed up when they didn't ask Cezar for help in the ROM department; They are still running Eclair 2.1.

I was running into problems with TW Launcher, especially when scrolling through the app drawer. The program became unresponsive and I have gotten a few force-closes.

A different launcher has corrected this, but I would love for TW4.0 to work correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I never leave wifi on. I also make sure nothing is set to auto sync and that background data is off.

I've noticed the problem usually starts 2-4 days after flashing a rom (just for me, maybe different for you). I've also uninstalled maps and KTLO, as both showed excessive usage, even while charging.

Q: Clarification on installation

Ok, here is an Odin-NEWB question. The installation instructions state to flash the bootloader in the PDA section as well as flash the kernel in the PDA section. The OP also warns that the bootloaders must match versions. Is there a reboot in between flashing the bootloaders and then flashing the kernel? Can I have the GB bootloaders (step 1 from PDA flash) and my existing ROM (Cognition 3.02) and then go back and continue the installation instructions? Are there any additional things to consider here that I am not thinking of? Can't wait to try this, thanks for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
When you flash bootloaders, the phone will reboot by itself, so you cant flash the kernel atthe same time.

You can run Eclair as well Froyo with the latest bootloaders.

Follow method 1 to the letter and you wont fail ;)

Whats about the battery life?.

I'm quite happy with Darky's ROM..

Does this one have a good battery run time ? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] hiepgia:
Hey cezar.

You wait new Talon Kernel for Continuum 5 RC4? I see some change in github souce :D
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Hey Cezar,

I was wondering how you were going to top RC3. For me, there have been no problems like charge issue or anything else. This has been the most stable ROM I've run thus far.

Question: Will RC4 be wipe or no wipe?

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Pictures attached to show you battery life- I have absolutely no complains with battery life. This was actually as of 10 minutes ago before i fully let it die.

Also this is with Talon 0.1.4

Could you share with us your configuration? installed apps? widgets?..
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Wow is all I can say, smooth like butter, converted to ext 4 using the app and this thing flies! I just took the plunge last night, came from C4 and I am blown away. So far, I am not having the charging issues as reported by others but I turned off auto rotate as suggested a while back in the thread. I am recallibrating the battery now, flashed too late last night to do it then. It said charged when I took it off the charger but when I unplugged it was sitting at 94%, I suspect it's a callibration issue because it did the same on C4 but I switch batteries so I never bothered to recallibrate. Wanted to check battery life so I am recallibrating, I had bad battery on C4 which was surprising because all of the previous versions of Continuum had the best battery life I'd seen. Loving the Gingerbread, followed the OP instructions for Method 0 and it was quick and painless, I had cleared data and cache and did a Master Clear while at stock before flashing over and I have zero issue. I reinstalled all missing apps w/o data and no fc issues to report. Donation coming your way sir, nice job. Next is try our one of Shoman's themes! Thanks for the blazing fast and smooth ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:

[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
This is the charging issue. You'll notice it the longer u leave the phone on the charger it will be lower. I haven't pulled it off the wall charger at 100% since flashing GB.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Cezar, in my pictures of my battery life that I posted, it says 47% which account for about 2 and a half hours of Display on.. Does it mean thatout of a full charge, 47% out of 100 was accounted to the screen being on? Cause i remember in froyo it was always a very high number(didnt seem accurate) and was always confused about that?
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
I absolutely love the Xperia launcher, it's a thing of beauty. Do you plan on leaving it in the next update?
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
No it's 47% of the total battery lost, not of the entire battery as a whole.
