[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Have you done a wipe since installing the ROM? I did, and it deletes that launcher. Reflash the ROM and it should come back.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
It was a simple question... No need to be cocky about it. Some of us are either at work or on the road trying to keep up with the dynamic nature of the thread.

I read the OP and understand flashing using odin, just not sure if the kernal was provided or if we were expected to go fetch it from exists thread. Moreover, exist's thread still lists the 0.1.2v and not the 0.1.3 as called out by cezar.

Thanks...

[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Not being cocky. Simple question deserved simple answer. Being at work or on the road is no excuse, maybe you should pay attention to the road. Just saying that if you read the changelog, your question would have been answered. Changelog mentions that the new kernel isn't even available in exists thread. All the info is there.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Go into recovery if the text is orange you have CWM3.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
CWM3 is included so no worries. you can also check if the recovery menus are gold/orange (although I'm colorblind, so i could be wrong lol). In recovery, it should say "v3.xxx" on the top as well.

[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Yes, but that's not all. Using ODIN to flash the kernel does something extra that promotes more stability (I don't understand this myself). There is a post from Cezar about this a few pages back. The important thing is to use ODIN to flash the latest kernel before flashing the ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Before RC3 was released I had already flashed the latest Talon kernel (TalonDEV-0.1.2-CWM3.zip) via recovery. I understand clearly that we are to flash the latest kernel and Im not asking that. My question is what does it matter if I flash via odin or through recovery and since I already flashed via recovery shouldnt that be good enough? Im on the correct kernel.

Also, why is this necessary? Im good at following directions, but I kinda like to understand why a bit.

Thanks for any help you provide.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
you better duck because cezar is going to throw stuff at you....
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
LOL, I know...I saw all the post before. Im not questioning, Im trying to understand the logic. I see in many thread on here where people blindly follow directions and get in trouble. I think its reasonable to try and understand the specifics mainly so I can learn as we go and not ask stupid questions in the future.

But I do have my headgear on either way!

hey guys im running rc2 with ext 4 . can i just flash this right over it no problem ?

( will backup everyhting first of course)
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Yes you can.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
you can flash rc3 over exisiting ext4, no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
That's what I did. Installed 0.1.2 Talon on RC2 with CWM, then flashed to RC3. Not having any problems here.

I see it as "go back to stock before flashing a new rom". I never flash back to stock unless I'm having issues (which I've never had yet and I've flashed a lot of roms).

Unless I get issues with RC3 (no Force closes or anything yet), I won't bother flashing the kernel with ODIN. If I do get some kind of problem with this release, I'll flash the correct way before posting it here.

what can I do to make Quadrant Scores improve. (don't want OC)

I flashed As is in the instructions, But my Quadrant Scores are super Low. (Around 700, Below Galaxy S)

Installation:

1. TalonDEV-0.1.2.tar (from Odin)

2. Reboot

3. Recovery

4. Data wipe/Factory Reset (Just in case)

5. Flash RC3.

Rom is Smooth but the scores are bad.

What is recommend action? Thanks in advance.

So wait a sec ... the ROM is smooth but your main complaint is that some arbitrary artificial scores that do not reflect in the slightest the actual performance of the ROM, are not as high as you would hope? What's more important, some numbers or the usability of the phone?

I know I'll get blasted for this, but how exactly does one flash the Talon kernel via ODIN specifically? I've flashed kernels other ways, but would like to know the exact settings/steps to flash the kernel (I already have the kernel).

It may not seem like it, but I've done several searches and haven't come up with this information. I know it's probably easy and obvious, but I just can't find the exact instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
No. Should I? + Can I use the App included Or the usual way from recovery? Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Download the tar version from existz thread to your computer. Open Odin and put the tar file in pda. Put your phone in download mode and connect to your computer. Once odin recognizes your phone hit start and wait for it to complete.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Use the app included.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Thanks mate.
[Captivate Android Development] minotaur507:
Sure, if you're so inclined.

Use the included app if you decide to. There is no conversion available from CWM.

I am on darkyy 10.0.

And flashing this puts my phone into a bootloop.

I'm not mad just reflashed darky. Is there a Touch Wiz 4.0 APK. Or do we have to flash the zip and is it only compatible with Continuum?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Here's the thing, "dude" there are tricks that would make your benchmark scores higher than anything you have ever seen, overclocking, looping, and some other ways of faking many people use to post outrageous numbers on the "internets" to show the world how great they are.

First of all Quadrant simply isn't a good benchmarking tool for these phones, period.

Second of all, there are guides out there on how to improve your scores. Do a search.

I just ran a quick quadrant to see what my score is and I get something like 875. At the same time, the phone has never felt better, fast, smooth, short load times, apps run like butter ...

Simply put: benchmarks do not matter if they are not done right and quadrant scores on anything not running standard Android on snapdragon procs are nowhere near indicative of the actual performance of the phone. It's the same story we've seen with benchmarking tools on PC's over and over again. Trust me, I've been playing this game for 15 yrs.

[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
The launcher style is part of the "HeLauncher". If you don't see that as a launcher choice, you've probably done a wipe since installing the rom. It's should be an available option off a clean install though.

The "Home" key has no haptic feedback. That's a known issue. The rest of the keys should work fine.

I would say NO, that is not normal. I do not see a progress bar in one of the squares above which I would expect to see. I would not unhook it considering its on one of the bootloaders.

Latest Talon in RC3?

The OP post #2 mentions in the RC3 section

but in 'About Phone' is still lists the kernel as #0.1.2

Just curious if 'About' is wrong, perhaps the latest Talon didn't update its version? Or maybe its not really the 'newer than new' version.
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
I unhooked!!! but noting happens, re enter download mode and use another odin and managed to go back to stock, now appears: Firmware Verison 2.2; Baseband: I897UCJI6; Kernel: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@spt-11 #1; Build Version: FROYO.UCJI6.

Can install GB now using info on Post 1? C5ODINboot.zip with this file?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
If your at stock, then that means you have the old bootloaders. Your next step is to flash the odin package with bootloaders per the OP instructions. BE CLEAR, you are flashing over the bootloaders and there is a risk of bricking your phone. Read the OP very clearly and understand the risks associated. Cezar does a good job of detailing everything in the OP.

Once you have updated to this level you then can flash future updates of this ROM through recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Glad it worked out for you. So if your at stock, then download the file you reference that contains the bootloaders and flash via ODIN and the OP instructions. UNDERSTAND that this can brick your phone so read the OP and all of it before you do anything. From there you can flash future updates such as RC3 from recovery without ODIN but be sure to check if there are any other steps such as for RC3 you are asked to flash a Talon kernel before moving forward.

Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I loaded this and it seems to be working OK.

Question - when I boot into recovery, the text is orange. I was reading the instructions and also watching an installation video. On the video, the text was green, but the installation instructions do not mention it.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with ClockworkMod, but can't remember the exact details.

In any case, flashing the rom from there - even with the orange text - seemed to work fine.
