The performance in the UI? I thought it was just a media engine, and I've never had performance issues playing any sort of media files on my Captivate with stagefright disabled. I've personally noticed no improvement with stagefright enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
It did the same thing the first time when I came from GR-11, so I returned to stock to make sure I did everything correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Click on PDA and it should find where you downloaded it. If not browse to where you downloaded it.
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
It's a checksum calculated in a certain (in this case MD5) way.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I'm curious as well at how Stagefright improves performance. From developer.android.com, it says:

"New media framework (Stagefright) that supports local file playback and HTTP progressive streaming."
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Well TW4 launcher is slowwwwwwwww. When trying to add widgets or do anything a lot of the time it slows to a crawl and because I don't wanna wait 4 mins for it to unfreeze i pull the battery.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
After you installed the kernel and did the battery pull was the text in CWM orange when you went to install the rom zip?
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
My God this ROM is perfection! Thank you for the quality work icezar. Everything is buttery smooth and the fastest my phone has ever been.:)
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
is this what its supposed to say in the pda box?

C:\Users\Guest\Downloads\galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5

btw thx harpo
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
flashed 51 and my phone freezes at the continuum boot screen then boot loops.anybody else have that problem?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
We need more info: What rom and kernel were you coming from.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
yes.........
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
so at this point i dont check or uncheck anything just hook up phone and press start with ONLY pda box filled in correct?
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
anyone notice with the new email app that the suggested text doesn't show up using either Smart Keyboard or Better Keyboard? I've tried with both this Rom and GR11.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
yes that is correct
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
+1 on this. It's rebooted my phone twice in the last hour as well...I really want to like it...
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Correct you should have auto boot checked and the one to it's right I believe it says something test. Make sure repartition is not checked.
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Anyone else have broken video codecs? I have some AVI's of Star Trek: TNG that won't play back now. I think they're in DIVX. They don't play on stock 2.2 or 2.1, but they do play on any 2.2.1 I9000 rom. This was the only GB rom that would play them until today's release.

BTW: They won't play on Mikey's GB-11 either. Other than that, it's a great rom! Great job!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
alright. thanks. gonna fire that up soon as driver downloads
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
rc3 and talon 1.4
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
What steps did you use to flash 5.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
FYI this ROM now comes overclocked by default. To 1200mhz. (That could have been why my phone rebooted, earlier I blamed it on TW4)
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
My mistake guys. Go to tweaks app and check enable stagefright, reboot, go back to tweaks and uncheck the same option and reboot again. All videos should play fine after that.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Correct but no under volting.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
What widgets are u using? I had no problem except with "Month" widget which i warned you about. The rest work fine and didn't kill the phone even once.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Ok, I cheated when I flashed rc3. didnt flash kernel before rom. Now I want to do it right, so which kernel do I flash before 5.1, Or do I still need to?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The Rom comes undervolted as well with -50mV but just until 800MHz. You may set different values in Voltage Control App
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I noticed that none of the default dock items in TW4 are in the app drawer (internet, messaging, and phone)

SO...don't delete them from your dock or you may never get them back.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Go to recovery and install it again. Install with usb/power cable unplugged
[Captivate Android Development] lacloi:
is this me or something? the power control widget doesn't work for some reason, i reflashed couple of times and still the power control widget doesn't work
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
i flashed from recovery CWM
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
If you delete them they will reappear in the app drawer. Stop scaring people :p
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
After running GR11 and now Cont5.1 I've noticed that SGSII apps as a whole lag real bad. I could be the only one experiencing this, but they do on my phone. The new email app lags pretty bad, but is still usable. I am not sure if something can be done to tailor them more to our phones or not.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Did you read the first red lines written in big capssed letters in the OP??
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Reflash and make sure you don't have the usb plugged into your computer or wall charger.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The new email app is faster than the default i9000 one. I am running this Rom for last 3 days and everything has been stable and smooth. I wouldn't launch it if it wouldn't !
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i am about to try this but i am a lil scared the instructions seem overly simple when i look at other roms they have a ton of files my ? is will the phone go back into download mode after installing the bootloaders so i can then flash the kernel. and do i need the auto reboot option checked when flashing the bootloaders

sorry for the ? but the instructions are very vague
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Yes and Yes.

To get into download with the new bootloaders you need to press vol down and power. Recovery is vol up and power.
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
Hi Cezar,

The ROM is lightning fast and I've encountered no problems while using it yet. But there does seem to be a problem with boot, especially or exclusively (as I've read other people's posts) for people coming from GR11.

Going into recovery, wiping everything, installing the ROM again has no effect for me.

My phone got caught up in an infinite loop only once, other times it returned to the i9000 screen and successfully booted the second time around.

It's quite late where I live so I'll go back to stock and re-flash tomorrow but the issue seems worth investigating. Maybe users flashing onto GR11 should go back to stock before flashing Continuum 5.1.

By the way I still can't believe how blindingly fast 5.1 is!!!! :) Also when the boot loop doesn't happen, the phone boots in record time!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
me too... :)

Themes updated!
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
Yes, it was CWM 3
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I came from GR11 and went to stock and still got stuck in the loop
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Did you flash the talon kernel first with auto boot unchecked?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Initial thoughts. Crazy fast. question. is ext4 on by default or do i have to convert? I was NOT on ext 4 prior
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
No it's not. You use ext4 app to convert if you want. It's in the app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
nice. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Cezar, just wanted to say you have a winner with 5.1!! Waiting the past couple of days has definitely paid off. Thanks!!

Also, Verysafety, I love the boot animation.

Anyways, to anyone looking at trying a GB ROM, I would highly recommend trying Continuum 5.1. Just make sure you actually read the OP very carefully before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] lacloi:
oh sorry i thought you already fixed,

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
should i flash back to stock. my phone freezes on continuum boot screen and i came from RC3 with talon 1.4. i flashed 5.1 with CWM
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
This ROM looks so effing sexy!! DAMN! I wish I still had my Cappy.. I would definitely flash this..
[Captivate Android Development] cheetablaze:
one request please! could you add some color pictures to the settings screen? thanks for the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Go to recovery, advanced, delete voltage settings. I guess UV values don't have the same meaning in gingerbread as in froyo. Continuum 4 had UV -50 mV and no one had problems, our at least they rete not reported, I will remove uv settings in my next release, which will be tomorrow, non wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
You're welcome :) I'm honored to be a part of the ROM community in a small way. I wish I had more time to dedicate to a more complex intro, but right now freelance work is keeping me busy! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Is there a way to change TW4 settings? I cannot set the default screen, it seems to default to the last screen.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Probably why I haven't had any issues flashing because I delete my voltage before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I'm experiencing a bug with the new TW launcher on a clean flash. If I launch apps from the app drawer (ie. Settings), the phone will slow to a crawl until I close the app drawer again. Reflashing did not resolve the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Same here and I noticed that the "Delete Boot Settings" in the voltage control app now works......used to have to delete the file manually.
[Captivate Android Development] keitaroguy:
Is tw4 still very buggy? Would cause major lag for me. Would fc all the time also did any one have similar experience?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I updated the 2nd post with some info.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Giving this a run. Hopefully after a week my auto rotate wont stop working like on other roms.

Real quick can i restore apps from 2.2 on this?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
If you don't run all samsung widgets at the same time, it won't be slow and it won't crash.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Do you delete a file in the ROM zip or use CWM3 and delete UV settings after flashing but prior to telling it to reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
2.2 not really, 2.2.1, most of them. This is 2.3.3 so there are some changes. You should definitely not restore system settings
[Captivate Android Development] VinceG:
He guys I just wanted to report I'm having the video playback problem too and the checking/rebooting/unchecking/rebooting fix didn't work

So then I tried reflashing the default talon kernel via Odin and that didn't help. Has anyone come up with another fix?
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
In the second post, it is written that the talon kernel is updated to the latest 0.1.5. In the OP, the kernel that we need to download is TalonDEV-0.1.2.tar. Confused. Do we need to go and grab the latest talon from that thread and do the odin in installation instruction method 1?

Also, i see the Odin link in the OP is odin1.3 (I have an Odin 1.7 already on my computer). Is there any reason why Odin 1.3 is used? I am still on continuum version 4. Waiting to make the switch from version 4 (froyo) to version 5. Looks like 5.1 is promising.

Please do not mistake. I am very slow to understand stuff and therefore planning to send a message to you (PM) with steps that i am going to follow before flashing this. Please kindly give me your confirmation if you get time. It would help me a lot. I am a fan of your work and using continuum version 4 for a long long time.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Since this is overclocked by-default I'm going to have to hold off using it. Not a fan of overclocking... too many people have too many problems, and my own experiences have been bad.

If people want to OC that's their choice and if a ROM wants to support it that's fine, but OC should never be set by default out of the box. Making those sorts of universal assumptions about hardware is not wise nor safe.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
now i boot loop at the i9000 screen
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
That part in the first post is only for those who've never flashed Gingerbread before. After using TalonDEV 0.1.2 to gain access to CWM, flashing Continuum 5.1 will replace the kernel with the latest Talon release.

I'm not sure about Odin versions though. I had problems with my 3-button-combos and icezar's initial flashing methods, so I did things a different way that involved 1.7.
[Captivate Android Development] speed817:
Email force close

Just flashed 5.1 over rc3. On the very first reboot, and the few reboots I've done afterwards, I've gotten a force close on the Email application (process.com.android.email). Other than that, the rom runs fine. Any idea on what's going on and how this can be resolved?

EDIT: It happens even without rebooting. Twice in the past 30 minutes or so after my last reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Unfortunately, I am still getting those.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Thank you!

[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
I followed your instructions, but ended up with the same result. The preview thumbnails and video lenths won't load in the video app. It just shows a film reel like when there is a video on your SD that the video app don't have a codec for.

I then flashed back to RC3, and my Star Trek plays fine. I think it is encoded in DIVX3. It looks like this rom is missing the codec that RC3 had or the video player app can't access the codec needed.

I have an MKV that plays fine BTW.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
+1

Now, I understand why so many have performance issues like FCs and bootloops and such. I tried OC before with my continuum version 4 but my phone never performed well under OC set up. My hardware simply hates OC. I think not all captivates are the same. May be i should wait until there is a non-OC version but for now I am.one satisfied version 4 user.

[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
Its not that hard to turn this off.... not like you are forced to stay with OC. Just saying.
[Captivate Android Development] keitaroguy:
What widgets are you using my fancy widget was messing me up alot
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
It makes the assumption that your particular Captivate can handle OCing to begin with, to be able to go in there and turn it off.

I'd argue that if it's so easy to turn off... it's just as easy to turn on by those who care to OC, while not putting everyone else needlessly at risk.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Technically, there shouldn't be any Captivate that *can't* handle 1.2GHz, as that frequency was taken directly from Samsung's own code.

On a separate issue...I'm having terrible lag with 5.1. I mean, my phone is virtually unusable. This is on a clean flash, without installing anything. Even changing launchers did not help. I might have to go back to the pre-stable version.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Email apparently is slower for me too. Love the rom though.

Started happening to me. I deleted both caches in recovery a couple of times and I'm good now.

Stupid Question

I am sure I am missing something simple, but I cannot add a second email account using the new email app.....the accounts option that used to be in the menu is not there, please tell me the secret.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
To be honest cezar cooks these roms up for himself and shares them with us. If people don't like what he's doing they should find another ROM that suites them. This is setup the way he likes it and we're fortunate he shares it with us.

I think I blew up my phone. had flashed back to stock, installed bootloaders through odin 1.3 as written, got a successful message, phone rebooted itself.

I shut off the phone and re-entered download mode with vol down+power, attempted to odin the kernel in pda slot, got a FAIL message. So I attempted to go to recovery mode being an idiot, and got the phone!computer screen. I can get back in to download mode now, and have attempted to one-click back to stock, odin is stuck at

[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Awesome Awesome rom.Best ever, but having the same problem with video. Tried "My mistake guys. Go to tweaks app and check enable stagefright, reboot, go back to tweaks and uncheck the same option and reboot again. All videos should play fine after that." but it did not work.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
If ur laggy check how much memory is in use? After the flash and several reboots to I checked when I got laggy and was at 295 used. I reboot recovery and cleared cache partition and dalvik cache and now memory usage is normal for now anyway. Give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
It seemed to work at first, but now using random apps or going through settings screens causes it to happen again. Pretty frustrating =/

Try manually editing build.prop and rebooting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13442003#post13442003
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Totally agree but why don't you also think from this point of view. The other point of view is we love his work so much that we dont want to use any other ROM! Also, not all captivates (for some.unknown reasons) can.handle OC. So, making a non-OC version will retain some noobs like me and also give us an opportunity to make donation for all.his hardwork! Finding another ROM is valid only when you don't like a certain developer's work. In this case, all.like to stay with Cezar :-) that's my take ..

from Continuum V4 on matted blue theme using XDA premium app
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I did that. Memory usage still quickly climbs to almost 300MB after a few minutes without doing anything. Also, booting takes very long, up to 5 minutes every boot. I've already reflashed once, I'm strongly tempted to flash back to RC3.

Edit: Now my phone is just bootlooping at the lockscreen. Goodbye 5.1 :(
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
Do you have the "Repartition" option checked?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:

i might have to switch. i dont want to but m phone boot loop at the i9000 screen, confuzling
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
I did not, cezar said a few pages ago to not have repartition checked.
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
2 questions for you guys... has anyone been using the non bootloader odin to flash back to stock and then master clearing before flashing new RC's or in this case 5.1? (just so the phone has a clean slate but retains gb bootloaders) or are you guys just flashing the new releases right over the old?

And I also noticed the talon kernel now has a new BIGMEM version. what version should I be flashing?

THanks.
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
That was super scary, rebooted my computer and left phone battery out for about 15 minutes, now i'm going to reflash a 2.2 rom for the next couple days (working) and try again in a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I just flashed over RC3. The bigmem version gives you more RAM to work with, but disables 720p video recording.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Or you can download this and put it in /system. It is a modified build.prop to turn of stagefright completely: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21447075/build.prop

On irc a bunch of people were having problems with 720p playback or flac playback and this fixed it. Just put it in /system with root explorer(paid) or super manager(free) and reboot.

Icezar, You should probably include it in the non-wipe update tomarrow since it solves a bunch of stuff
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
FYI: 0.1.6 kernel will default 1ghz instead of 1.2ghz for those that cant handle 1.2ghz (wont effect if you have 1.2ghz saved as boot in VC) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13446074&postcount=659

So after working out the bootloops, I'm still dealing with some system lag. In particular, starting or ending any application results in a black screen for up to 10 seconds. Any idea what could cause this with 5.1? I've done every sort of clearing/reflashing I could think of.
