Probably a dumb question, but if we previously converted to ext4, do we need to convert back since the OP says this uses RFS? I'm guessing installing the ROM does that, but I never want to assume.
[Captivate Android Development] dwmoss:
Looking forward to giving this a spin. I'm ok with a samsung themed version, also I'm a launcher pro user so I'm not interested in touch wiz.

thanks cezar.

No. Obviously you're not reading the instructions if you have to ask this.

Samsung Galaxy S i896 on Cezar's Continuum v5 GingerBread
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've read through them a couple of times, and it does not specifically address what I asked.

For example, if it said - "If you've already converted to ext4, then this ROM will convert back to RFS" I wouldn't have had to ask.

It only mentions the smoothness of RFS and recommends not converting to ext4 (which I've already done with 5.4.1).

I appreciate you answer, though. Sorry my question irritated you so much.
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
+1 I get this too, hope there's an update on its way :-\

Unfortunately, it is still there in 5.5.
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
anyone using launcherpro with 5.5 and finding that after booting up and during and after media scanning is done that launcherpro is unresponsive for like 30secs then poppin up a message saying that its unresponsive and u can either force close or wait it out but either choosing each option it works? 5.4.1 i had no problems but its kinda annoying right now when i have to reboot
[Captivate Android Development] sanjeezy91:
Hey cezar, using your rom right now but whenever i boot into recovery to flash a modem or something, it restores ur rom back to stock. As in, i need to reinstall all my apps and such. Any solutionss?
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Hey so how do we flash this rom?

do we just put it on the sd card and clear cache etc? Or is there a more advanced process

Post #2 *no need to disable lagfix*

Ur good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
i've had that problem intermittently with every gingerbread rom. with cm7, it did it every time i rebooted the phone. I think that it has to do with loading the config, which is on the sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
I have had this annoyance with Froyo as well, don't think it's related to the ROM but the way the SD card gets locked by the media scanner is making Launcher pro wait and react with a "freeze" / wait state until the media becomes available again.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
this

its common with LP for me as well weather on froyo or gingerbread
[Captivate Android Development] rafsi:
I have the same issue, I just have learned to give the phone an extra minute while rebooting... Can't convince myself to move off launcher pro.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Move all apps from the SD to internal memory.

That stops the force close errors after boot.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Post #2 under 5.5 clearly states no need to disable lagfix.

anyone else having a problem with tibu restored apps not staying after a reboot? I cleared cache and dalvik, then re-restored my apps but after a reboot, they're gone again ... including Launcher Pro. I'm going to reflash and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
What ROM version and kernel where you using before ? 5.4.1 with talon 1.7t15 ?
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Read the OP, but just in case you haven't....

You never said if you are already on a Gingerbread rom or a Froyo rom (or stock).

If on a Gingerbread rom it is way easy: download the rom zip and place on internal sd.

Do a backup of apps in Titanium Backup (I use the paid version - so much simpler)

Shut the phone down and pull your external sd and sim card (just a precaution I take but optional).

Start the phone in recovery mode (vol up + right pwr key until second showing of kernal image and then let go of all keys).

Clear cache, Dalvik cache, and Factory Reset.

Then choose the rom zip to install. Presto!! Continuum v5.5 JVO smoothness.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Did you flash from CWM2 (blue/green)? You MUST flash it from CWM3 recovery (orange). This is the behavior if you flash from the wrong recovery
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I didn't understand that the lagfix was the same as the file system.

Also, even if I had known, that just says there's "no need" to disable it. It doesn't say that it converts it back to RFS.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
What would be the recovery version? Cos lately Cezar's Rom's need Latest CWM recovery. So if ur coming from Different ROM Like GR12 Or Different Kernel like Xman's. Then U might have to first Odin/Flash Talon kernel and then Flash This ROM.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I noticed the swipe in c5.5 doesn't include all the languages the last one did... can I use the 5.4.1 swype in c5.5? which files should I replace?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
any idea why I would be getting the "sleep death" or whatever it is called when the screen turns off then will not turn back on? I have never experienced this before with any other version of Continuum or any other rom.

I can get it to "wake up" by plugging the USB cable into it, otherwise I have to pull the battery to get it to turn back on.

I have not installed any apps at all since flashing it.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I think you're missing the Brazilian Portuguese.

You need to replace

/system/app/Swype.apk

/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

and you will need to replace all i9000 instances in build.prop with i9100.

I am actually making a package now.
[Captivate Android Development] TomMelee:
I'm a spot confused. I'm currently on Mikey's GR-12, so I do have Gingerbread bootloaders---but my CWM is green, so I'm assuming that's the old version based on the response upthread about apps not staying around.

I'm a little confused---do I need to just reboot to recovery and install the zip, or do I need to update CWM (how?) or do I need to do bootloaders + kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Actually happened to me twice with 5.4.1 and talon 1.7 test 15.

Both times, the phone had not been rebooted in over 48 hours...

do you get the sleep death everytime since 5.5 ?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
thanks. I thought it was from CWM3 but it may have been from 2 and I just didnt pay attention.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
you need to update CMW by flashing a CMW 3 kernel, like the OP says.

If you look at the OP, there is a link to Talon kernel downoad that includes CWM 3.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
I was just running 5.4.1 with talon 1.7 test 15 and it worked perfectly

with 5.5 yes it will do it every time as long as the USB is not connected and the screen has been off for more than about 30 seconds.

edit- not sure if it matters but I am using the sony launcher which is what I was using on 5.4.1, that is the only thing I really changed since the flash, I have not even set my google account up yet.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
There are a lot of languages available, but now you only choose one at a time, instead of having a lot if them, checked at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Updated the second post

If you flash from CWM2, your applications will be deleted on reboot

* FLASH ONLY FROM ClockworkMod 3!!! (orange recovery) *

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in case you have CWM2 (green text usually), not to be forced to flash Talon kernel via ODIN, you may flash the ROM in this order:

- from CWM2, flash the ROM

- after installation, go to advanced - reboot in recovery (or pull out the battery and reboot in recovery using the keys combo)

- now you should have CWM3, install the ROM again and reboot

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Yep, I had that happen after I tried to apply a different modem.

I also have the issue with low space warning when trying to change keyboards.

Then I select my SwiftKey keyboard and it won't launch.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
There you go

Will add it to the OP later.

Uninstall Voodoo Control app before installing as the zip has it included. I included it because due to the build.prop changes, Voodoo Control app is not available in the market. If you bought VoodooControl plus, you may keep that one installed.

Make sure you have more than 32 MB free in /system (if you didnt change anything in the system after installing the ROM, you should be good to go).
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Yes every time I reboot anything I have installed from TIBU erases.

Whats this about?

Higher Memory Useage Than Stock 2.2

Hey folks,

After I installed Continuum my memory has been staying constantly above 230MB with less than 100MB available for other apps to use.

Is this normal? Is the extra ram used for buffer? When I'm on stock 2.2 my ram has been in 140MB-170MB range after cleaning up the ram in task manager.

Otherwise, super smooth OS, love it.

Hey I have a question: I set up an ad-hoc network using my laptop but my captivate doesn't seem to see the network. Any idea? Or is the ad-hoc for laptops only? (I tried connecting to the network using another laptop and it's just fine)

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I still had lag issues with 5.5 and Talon kernel. I tried no OC/UV and with OC/UV and the lag would still occur. Random but frustrating. Flashed Xcals kernel as I did with 5.4.1 and it went away. I guess my phone does not like Talon kernel for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I had a pretty interesting experience with EXT4 vs. RFS - along the lines of the discussion earlier this morning. I was coming from a Froyo kernel with lagfix, and took the OP (or post #2, whichever) at its word - 'no need to disable lagfix'. I followed instructions, flashed, added my apps, cleared caches, rebooted, removed many of the tweaks, etc. Then tested.

It was poor. A bit laggy. Bad wifi reception. Bad GPS reception. I switched to the JQ1 modem and checked again. Same thing. I decided C5.5 just wasn't going to work with my phone. But I thought - let's see what happens if I convert to RFS.

Bang. My wifi signal almost doubled, instantly. And now I was getting good GPS, which locked on my position quickly, and accurately (inside my house). I haven't played with it much to check out the lag. But I'm not moving off C5.5 for a while.

I guess I don't know enough about these things, because I would have said there is no way that the file system could have affected signal strength. Has anyone else had this experience?
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
Thanks Again Cezar for that great work!! Fast and Snappy! :D

The Microsoft Exchange Account (with the e-mail app) still cause high battery drain... Hope this will be fix... my phone battery can't last a 8 hours with an exchange account set. That's weird.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
This has always been my experience on Continuum, for all the versions. i never noticed an issue with performance though. I'm generally around 240 when idle, and up to 270/290 when I've been doing stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Are you using active sync or a set time to poll? If you aren't using active sync you might want to change your time.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Cezar once again an awesome ROM. I + others cant thank enough for your hard work. Thanks a lot.

Guys/Cezar is there anyway we can make center screen the default? On Touchwiz?

At the outset thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] embedded123:
I'm using v5.5 and till now I really like it.

it's super fast.

I encountered some issue when the phone is not being used for couple of minutes the display goes off and I cant get it back on.

only when I take off and on the battery I'm able to reboot it once again.

How do I solve this?

did you clear the cache in CWM after installing this ROM?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] danix180:
Yes either that or do a Wipe/Factory reset from CWM than restore all your apps. They won't disappear anymore when reboot.

It worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Anyone know what would be good settings in the voltage control app for good balance between speed and battery drain. Especially when the phone is idle. Looking at CPU Spy im running at 1ghz 85% of the time.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
I just had this problem, I reinstalled the ROM and it went away.

looks like we are the only two to experience this so far on 5.5
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
I had this problem too but only when not plugged into the charger.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
same here, I could also get it to "wake up" by plugging it back it instead of pulling the battery but since reflashing the ROM it has not happened a single time.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Same here, I don't know if it has something to do with the phone batch. Mine is 1007 and I was experiencing random lags with 5.5 and talon, I switched to xcal's 1.2 and everything is smooth now.
[Captivate Android Development] embedded123:
Ok this seems my last option.

Did you do something before flashing?

What about clearing cache and battery info?
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
I can chose either Active Sync or manual polling... both option drain battery as hell. About 10 % / Hour. As soon as I delete the Exchange account, the battery drain goes back to about 1-2% /hour.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
10% an hour! Wow. I'm using K9 for 3 email accounts. One set to manual, another set to poll every 15 minutes, and my work email polling every 5 minutes and I see no noticeable battery drain. (I'm sure it's using battery a bit more than if I didn't use the app at all, but 10% is definitely crazy).
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Just a word of warning for some people.

I went and flashed the same UOT kitchen theme zip I used on 5.4.1 and although it did what it was supposed to, it also broke my extended power menu (strange options that don't correspond to the actual action) and I get an error message on startup every time now.

I'm assuming if I do a fresh kitchen cook (uploading the files from 5.5) it will hopefully work out.

Maybe I should have known this could happen, but I figured it would work okay.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
No ogg vorbis playback

My ogg music files still dont play back in 5.5. In versions pre 5.4 they worked fine, any ideas? mp3s work fine but with ogg i get file not supported message.

edit: they work in poweramp but not in stock or playerpro.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Most likely that's because of the new base. It's the same reason why themes for earlier versions of C5 wont work..
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
yes, is a simple xml edit, but then you shouldn't have less than 4 homescreens, if you will, the launcher will force close.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Ill have a look, can you tell me for sure on which one they did?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Third one confirming this. My phone also gets lag with Talon Kernel. Xcal's works great.
[Captivate Android Development] djinferno806:
same here as well, the talon kernel still is laggy and it hitches alot when going from menus and other things. its definitely not the launcher this time.

But the ROM itself is amazing, great work man! your hard work is appreciated very much.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
I am guessing here but i think it stopped working in the last two framework updates, maybe it worked in 5.4 not sure anymore but 5.4.1 and 5.5 are a definite no go.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
What tweaks are enabled in the tweaks app? Try everything disabled except SD speed tweak, I/O: No-a-time and I/O Scheduler
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The kernel is not laggy, the rom runs smooth on talon, i wouldnt include talon as a kernel if it wouldnt be a good kernel.

So, if you have problems, perform a hard reset (*2767*3855# - save your data before!!!).
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
well... ogg files work for me..
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Same thing and same outcome for me
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
thing is, its not on SDcard, i always move any app installed on SD to system storage because of that. while i was on 5.4.1 it maybe froze for like 10secs but now it freezes for almost a minute on 5.5, virtually the same setup as 5.4.1

EDIT: BAH! not having that prob anymore, ive always used xcals kernel and didnt have to mess with the tweaks app for talon kernel which i decided to stick with now just to see if this build has improved. just turned off kernel scheduler in tweaks and now LP only freezes for less than 10secs after boot up
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
i have sent you a pm with a link to the file if you dont mind testing it please....

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I think you should check for an app running wild. I would start with Maps.
[Captivate Android Development] snowake:
Wow! Something is not right if at 1 ghz nonstop. I wiped cache partition, dalvik, and voltage settings from cwm3 recovery. All issues are gone. For 5.4.1 I had to factory reset from cwm3 to get it working smoothly, but I had the 1ghz governing issue.

There is a bottom center tab in volt ctrl you can lift up to allow diff states. VC has been buggy for me, so the tab doesn't always show up.

I tinkered with it quite a bit on 5.4.1 and mine bootloops if I UV too much. The most I have been able to UV with no performance issue is: 100/200 @ -75; 400/800 @ -125. I set 1k lower and keep 1200 @ -50 or stock.

I limited my voltage to 400mhz and have seen almost no lag while texting and using dolphin browser,etc. Also the battery life I got with no tweaks on 5.4.1 a few days ago was amazing!

[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
I just went from 5.4.1 and Talon test 15 to 5.5, same kernel, and there is not a lot of lag, but I am experiencing just a little, mainly switching menus and loading up apps. The only difference now is that I am using the sony launcher, could that be the culprit? You think the hard reset will help? I had no lag with the combo I was just using before.

Thanks, by the way, for continuing to provide this awesomeness.
[Captivate Android Development] djinferno806:
laggy is a bad word, it does run quick but every few minutes when i open a program or menu it hitches or hesitates. actually the xcal kernel is doing the same thing now. Ive had the same problem with any gb rom not only this one. But it wont do this when the rom is first installed fresh only after maybe 15 min.

Its really frustrating because i dont know why it wont run smooth. almost like the cpu is hesitating. Its too bad because i really love this rom.

p.s. im going to start fresh from jf6 again and see if it persists.

there were some posts before about which tweaks to disable to make it better but ive played with them all and no difference really.
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
I will try K-9 Then. I always used the stock e-mail app for my Exchange account, but I only have that huge battery drain since Gingerbread.

If I use the stock e-mail app, with my exchange account, If I go in about phone, battery use, I can see the e-mail app at the top, with about 45-50% Usage. And this never happen before with numerous different Froyo Rom I had use.

I guess it's a Gingerbread bug... (if we can call this so)
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:
Wow came from GR12 to 5.4 and last night put 5.5 on my phone ...Have to say this baby runs smooth...Now for some cool theme:p

Thank u >>>>Icezar1>>>> for a great ROM
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
because I had just flashed the ROM and had not restored anything yet and no one on here had really responded to my question I just went ahead and reflashed it.

I could be wrong but I do not think that clearing the cache or battery stats will do anything to help your problem.

I know reflashing after you have everything the way you like it is miserable and there are no guarantees that it will even fix your problem.

Had the reflash not worked for me I was going to go back to 5.4.1 with talon 0.1.7 15 kernel and just wait for another update or try a totally different ROM.

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Reinstalled and it is working fines now.
[Captivate Android Development] snowake:
Big thanks to Cezar for all the hard work. I have never achieved such remarkable battery life or GPS functionality and I have had this since week 2 with severely limited gps functionality. Also, 5.5 is much smoother than 5.41.

The only issue I am having is with SMS. I can't restore from Tibu and the emails are listed first when I input names into the search box. Is anyone else having this issue? Didn't see it in thread search.

Thanks y'all

[Captivate Android Development] Pierce533:
I'm getting the "lag," too. In addition, I left my phone on all night and the battery drain was much more than with 5.4.1. I am not sure that I could get the 85 hours from the battery on 5.5 that I was getting with 5.4.1 with no tweaks.

I decided to roll back to 5.4.1 and when I selected to boot into recovery the phone did a soft reboot. Once I reselected recovery the phone did finally boot into recovery. This is weirdness I wasn't seeing on 5.4.1 which seems really stable.

I like the Helauncher in 5.4.1 and maybe it is much more snappier than the TW 3.x launcher in 5.5? It seems so to me.

This is a good start on 5.5. I will see if the themed version makes a difference, but I will stick it out with 5.4.1 until then. I like it better.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
You're not supposed to restore SMS with TiBu, it breaks things on occasion. I'd recommend using SMS Backup & Restore from the market, it works great for this.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
ah man, I just got the last one set up the way I want, now I gotta start all over. But the flash went smooth, so far everything seems buttery smooth. I think I finally found a candidate to update wifey's phone with also, btw she's running Continuum 4 on hers for about 2 months now. Just when I think these ROMS are the best theyll get they get better.

Anyways, coming from 5.4.1 I removed lagfix, wipe voltage settings, clear cache and dalvik cache. I assume by your new note on top of first post this runs best on RFS? Thanks cezar
