I flashed this last night. Very smooth and fast, so far. My only problem is the same I had before flashing. GPS works great, but my compass is off by almost exactly 90 degrees!

I was on Paragon and never had an issue until I loaded Plumbob, then it was off. Is there a known issue and fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Went to bed last night with phone at 72% and on the charger via computer. Woke this morning with phone at 100%. When I unplugged the phone it was at 98%. I'm running V5RC3 with no changes. Just an FYI.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I charged mine via wall outlet and when I unplugged it was still showing 100% charge. I did calibrate battery after flashing yesterday.

'Android OS' is sucking out the battery

Hi,

This is my first custom ROM install on my captivate. I am on C5 RC3, everything was going on well till today morning. The battery started draining really fast, my phone died out of battery in 3 hrs after full charge. I checked battery status, 'Android OS' was using 50% of the battery, display was below that.

I did reboot the phone, didn't help. I checked running services, stopped unimportant ones, nothing helped.

Anybody else is getting such issue.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] dcarter:
Yeah santosh134

This is a somewhat known issue.

The only "fix" is to turn your phone off, pull the battery (I think), and leave it off for a minute. Then turn it on again and this memory-management/app drain issue will be solved. I have heard it also occurs with the Maps program....

Modem issues - JK4 works well.

I had very slow data speeds with the built in modem as well as the JVK modem. However, flashing the JK4 modem seems to have restored my data speeds. This may vary for people depending on location, but my recommendation would be to use JK4 if you notice slow data speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
I think rebooting does help, but android os won't drop from the list because of the battery it already spent. The best thing to do is install watchdog lite, and in preferences check include phone processes, monitor phone processes and display all phone processes. When you get the notification that suspend is using more than 50%CPU then reboot.

As a reference yesterday I got the notification and rebooted and it did not affect my battery life, got 22hrs with normal use for me, that is a lot of internet browsing, some games and some VNC. maybe 2 1/2 hrs of screen time, with sync on and wifi off.

It's a driver issue from the change to gingerbread, samsung borked some dirvers, for example the lightsensor. Let's hope that a new build drops soon.

HTH

Cezar... I have issues with wifi, for example, I have notifications for networks turned off, yet it still notifies. And wifi consumes waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much battery. Could you please leave wifi as stock as possible in the final release, so when things are stable you can modify it slowly and see what happens? I haven't tried stock JVB wifi, but fixing it on a stable build and doing it step by step should help you isolate the problems.

Anyway, that's just a suggestion. You are doing an amaaaazing job on your roms. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
Hey guys, I'm glad you enjoy the ROM, definitely one of my favorites. I'd like to get some feedback from you, I saw a few modifications made to the bootani so if I generate enough interest I'll allot more time to creating a thread request for custom bootscreen development.

I just finished the latest boot animation screen and you'll see it soon enough ;)

Hope you like it!

Ext 4 worked great for me. I convert to ext just after flash the rom, then use nandroid to restore my stuff. All worked fine for me

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
this is odd - I had HSPA service and there seemed to be traffic flowing (the H icon appeared with the arrows and they were blinking) but no data actually worked on my phone. I put it into airplane mode (which took forever) and then took it back out to see if that will fix the issue and i never got back HSPA or 3G. So I rebooted and everything is fine now. This happened once before but since I couldn't duplicate it again, I ignored the issue.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? This has happened twice so far and two different modems (KC1 and whatever comes with this rom by default). The only thing that I can see that is similar between both situations is that I had just walked too far away from a wifi connection, so the phone was trying to activate the 3G network.
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
I managed to get mine calibrated with the method found in GPS Status under advanced. No other method has worked for me. That being said, the compass in the capi is very sensitive to interference.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
My recomendation is to test them at the same time in the same place. Otherwise the test are worthless.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Been off the charger since I woke up yesterday, still have a quarter of my battery left :) The time in the middle when it shoots down real fast I was on a weak wi-fi signal. Decided to plug in in because A) I was impatient, and B) I'm getting ready for C5.1!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Wifi is stock except for how much it scans. Wifi use less battery for me over froyo and eclair.

Power control widget is blank

I am sorry if this has been covered before.

I use the power control widget to toggle the screen brightness and to shut down wifi, bluetooth, and sometimes put in silent mode.

This rom is phenomenal (like everything cezar creates) but my power control widget doesn't show anything except blank spaces.

I have flashed correctly. I am using the tw4 launcher. Can anyone help me figure this out so I get the power control widget back?
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
From the OP under "Known Issues"

Power widget has no buttons - disable and enable gps or wifi or bt and the buttons appear. Is a AppWidgetPicker bug, didnt have time to look into it though.

[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
He has already reflashed it like 5 times, I think either he loses patience, or he is doing the same mistake over and over again.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Well the speed is about the best ive seen so far. I will have the exclude that though from firefly because it ran perfectly 100% of the time for me. So,in my opinion this is the best our captivates have seen so far besides firefly. If one isnt bold enough to flash this,then firefly would be the best way to go if there only looking for speed,stability,and customization
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Does someone care to post some screenshots that aren't as heavily themed as the previous ones so we can get a sense of what it will feel like right after flash?
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Here is what I did.

To Stock

Download mode (Up + down + USB)

Fire up odin

Odin detects

In Stock

Reboot.

Three finger salute to get to recovery

Delete all user data

Format Cache (just to be sure)

Pull battery

In Download mode for C5 Flash

Fire up Odin

Odin detects phone.

C5xxx.md5 file flashed as PDA

Takes a while.

Phone reboots to Recovery

Deleted all user data

Reboot without USB

Lo0000ng Sammy boot logo (Approx 5 mins)

We have a touchdown.

Anything different?

Remember the old Serendipity? (Dont know if its still like that). A slate wallpaper/ADW launcher. Add GB green to the battery signal and all : You have C5. Its clean.

This did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm golden! :D:D:D

THANK YOU!

:o While I thought I was flashing back to stock I actually wasn't. I was missing that step while thinking the master clear was also flashing to stock. Lesson learned.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Not totally stock, remove the gray notification bar and replace it with black, replace the battery with a simple stock battery.
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:

[Captivate Android Development] RMXO:
Weird then. Every other phone I have recognizes except my Cap. I even formatted FAT32 to be sure. Everything works perfect except for my SDCARD. Time to test other SDCARDs I guess.

Subbed.

Going to watch this ROM for a few weeks and see how it transpires. For now the i9000 ROMS are very stable and finally flaw free. not sure I am ready to start alll over. Been watching the CM7 thread as well....and Perception II. GB is going to be everywhere soon.

Its amazing how much the Captivate went from crap to golden with its ability to be completely changed by developers...

Good luck everyone and thanks for putting your phones in the alpha/beta fire for the rest of us....

Power control and tweetdeck post widgets... it just last forever, I don't know why. I was on Andromeda, which had OK battery life, but this is outstanding.
[Captivate Android Development] Adaptive13:
Yep. I tested them all back to back early this morning when ATTs network is at its most reliably here. JK4 was the clear winner for me.

It's not an ID, it's a way to check the integrity of the file. If the calculated hash of the downloaded file matches the hash provided by the file creator the file is downloaded properly.

Icons Reset After Reboot

I searched the thread and didn't see anyone mention this issue. When I first add the application shortcut, it shows the application's icon. After rebooting, the application's icon is replaced with Android default icon. This doesn't happen with all applications either, just some. All of the applications are games too. Any ideas?

Install Help!

I am having a problem with the install, I followed all the steps, went back to stock, JVB boot loaders with Odin then the new kernel TalonDEV through Odin auto reboot unchecked then went into recovery and installed CDRC3 from the sd card and it said it was done but when I tried to reboot it just sits on the GalaxyS GT-I9000 screen then flashes blank and goes back to the same screen, it have been doing that for about 20 minutes, if I plug the USB in it flashes the I9000 screen then just goes to the battery recharge screen.

did I mess something up? every step looked to go along fine with no errors in Odin.

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
Just want to say I love you man :D. And downloading now, I like how we even have a mirror for this release.
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
yeeeee haaaaaaa!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kitkitfok:
Should I do this:

* assuming that you have already new bootloaders, flash from recovery ONLY AFTER you flashed latest Talon kernel via ODIN - this is a must: latest kernel via ODIN! make sure you perform a hash check first to avoid surprises *

before I flash Continuum v5.1?

Now I'am using RC2.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Just quick question on the install. I'm already running continnuum RC3. Do I still have to flash the latest talon kernel before I flash this update or can I just flash the update in download mode? Sorry if this was asked before, just a little confused on this matter. Or do you recommend going back to stock anyway?

EDIT - Also, does this TWlauncher have alphabetic ordering?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
OP states

* flash over previous releases *

* no need to disable lagfix *

* wipe release, backup your apps *

I take this as flash the v5.1, backup apps, then recovery and wipe release, then restore apps?

That should ensure I keep the new apps that were included with the update, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
That version doesn't work for me, can you include the sgs II email instead?

edit: just reread the second post changelog... Thanks! You must own a tardis.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Going back to stock isn't necessary. And you should just be able to flash from recovery, not download mode. Not positive on the latest talon part. I would think you would be fine but maybe flash the latest talon just incase.. also doesn't hurt to have the newest sh*t :p
[Captivate Android Development] kitkitfok:
continnuum 5.1 is .zip format, flash in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Right, I meant to say recovery I know it's a zip cwm file. The latest kernel is included in this new update tho, what I was asking was whether it is necessary for the update to be completed properly to odin the latest kernel in first before you flash? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kitkitfok:
I also want to know and I using RC2.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I think you can just flash the update. Maybe someone can confirm..
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Hi Cezar -- first up -- MUCH THANKS for 5.1!!

I had a quick question -- over in the Talon thread they been talking about the latest 0.1.5 version and some note about making sure to delete any sdcardfix or ramhack scripts in /etc/init.d/ or they will overwrite the kernel/tweaks app settings, then someone else mentioned that you were putting in Darky's ramhack in the latest version -- so I wasn't sure if this was something we should be concerned with or not bother :D

EDIT: I just realized 0.1.5 is already included, so I guess this would apply if you reflash the kernel or an upgraded version comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] jecsah:
So, if one were on a ROM with recovery 2.5 and one wanted to jump over to Continuum, a recovery 3.0 ROM, how would one go about that? Is recovery part of the kernal so simply do an odin with talon?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Ramtweak and sdcard speed tweaks are not in the rom. The tweaks are already in the kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
There is no other step required except the ones mentioned above the changelog for 5.1
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
3rd mirror is up. Check it in 2nd post. Thank you surfed!
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Im on GR-11 but i want to come back, is this cwm3 only? Or can i put it on my sd card and flash from there?
[Captivate Android Development] surfed.tk:
Follow OP. 10car
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I'm thinking you can use method 2 because GR-11 installed the gingerbread bootloader. Need someone to verify though.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Awesome -- flashing now!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
thats what im thinking also, if someone could verify i'd appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So if I'm on C5RC3 and want to update to C5.1, I'll just download the Continuum 5.1 zip then flash it thru Recovery? No need to return to stock and whatnot?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Can anyone confirm if the included TWlauncher has alphabetic sorting? :)

In the App drawer I mean.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
You need CWM3, CWM2 does not know how to properly set permissions on /data while using updater-script. Flash talon via odin or recovery and then flash Continuum
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Correct....
[Captivate Android Development] japr2821:
as long as u have cwm3 u good to go. just flash!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
There is no TW4 with alphabetical sorting
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Cool, thanks cezar :)
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
That's kind of a bummer. I don't understand why Samsung wouldn't have that. Are you planning on adding it in yourself? Fr4gg0r in the i9000 forums has modded the launcher and added alphabetical sorting. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13440456
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
I feel ya, its incredibly annoying when you have 100+ apps. Thats why I don't use TW4 launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Amazing Release... Best I've seen yet!! Stunningly Themed (with the Sony Launcher)

Awesome Job dude!!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
That version is not compatible with samsung widgets.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Yeah. The alternative I do is to use the List view. It is sorted alphabetically.

I normally used the search function. Which leads to my following question. Has anyone noticed that the search function in Samsung ROMs is terrible? It seldom find apps. In CM7 this works wonderfully. Anyone experienced something similar?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
So I'm thinking of making the jump to 2.3 finally via this ROM. I've been trying to stay on-top of the steps necessary to flash a 2.3 ROM but you'll have to forgive me if I'm not 100% confident yet. I read, and re-read... but humor me as I ask some questions just to clarify and play it safe.

I'm currently on Apex 5 (Android 2.2), so I have ext4. I have a jig handy, and a build 1010 Captivate.

The first post here covers many scenarios to try and be as thorough as possible, but it does allow for some confusion. For my situation, I glean that I will need to do the following (in this order):

Put Continuum 5.1 download onto SD card

Flash JVB bootloaders via Odin

Flash TalonDEV 0.1.2 kernel with ODIN in PDA section with Auto Reboot option unchecked

Pull out the battery and disconnect the cable after ODIN said "RESET"

Reboot in recovery using Volume UP + Power button

Install Continuum from sdcard.

Is that right?
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
when flashing 5.1 my phone boot loops or freezes in the continuum boot.what happens to u guys?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Idk what difference does it make but what I did is flash first the Talon Kernel, then pull-out the battery. Flashed GB Bootloader, then pull-out the battery again. Make sure you do that with Auto Reboot option unchecked. Reboot to Recovery using Vol UP + Power button then install Continuum.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Oh? Listview is in TW4 and it sorts them alphabetically?! And yes I've noticed the search function is horrible. Can't speak for CM7 tho...too buggy at times I was considering it.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I believe that is correct, yes. Cezar's directions are pretty spot on, use method 1 in OP.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
SOOOOoooooo im tryin to join the continuum club right.....and im trying to open the odin supplied in op....and i get a windows cannot open file....what am i doing wrong????
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
if you guys like the bootanimation, throw me a thanksm that's all i need. :)
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I followed all instructions (I think) and have a problem.

I was on GR-11, so I used odin one click to return to stock.

I installed the bootloaders first (jvb.tar.md5) via odin.

THen I installed the talondev-0.1.2 kernel

Then I installed Continuum v 5.1 via recovery.

My phone keeps going through the continuum start up, then rebooting and looping. It did this a couple of times after the install, then actually booted up. I installed some apps and it force closed and now is looping again.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
what else do i need to open odin?
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
winace or another program that can open a .rar file
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Nice screenshots. Getting very tempted. Anyone tried the google talk video?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
When you installed the kernel did you uncheck auto reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Is there a reason Stagefright is enabled by default in 5.1? As far as I know, all it does is break support for several media formats and artificially boost Quadrant scores. It seems all the ROM devs are doing this lately :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
Yes, I unchecked reboot and did the battery pull when it was done.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
It does improve the performance. Not only Quadrant scores. You can disable through Tweaks app.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
ok.. few more notes

* if you are already in a gingerbread ROM, you do not need to update bootloaders! (because you have them already...)*

* you do not need to go back to stock, the rom performs a full wipe (except sdcard) during installation *
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Ok. Odin is now open. I thought i wasnt that much of a noob but this just smacked me in the face. How do i move the bootloaders into odin? Trying to open the bootloader file gives me the same cannot open message NEVERMIND got it
