Hey all, back to continuum for a while, really working well. Very smooth. Only question I have, is there still a time stamp fix for messages? My incoming messages are 4 hours behind. Can someone point me in the right direction. Stock continuum here, no tweaks or mods. No problem with the time stamp in mosaic, not sure why now.

newbie question

First, great work and Congrats to all who worked and have supported this rom.

One small detail, after installing this Rom, if I press the volume UP button, the phone goes into a forced download by key pressing...or something like that.

If anyone can help with this, it would be great

Second, how can I donate to the creators of this rom...please send me instructions, remember, Newbie

thx

Been really having some bad lag issues. occasionally the phone just locks up and I can barely getinto task manager to do a memory dump, which fixes it.

seems Im running low on memory?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Icezar1 is the developer.

Re-read the first post (OP). there is a small part about inverted bootloader combination (Important Note: ) You may need to start from stock to correct your issue.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I've noticed that converting to back to rfs if your on ext4 giving almost no lag. I know it is opposite of what we did with froyo but it really worked. I had horrible lag now I have nearly none.

You need cwm 3 which has orange text to flash continuum. I would flash existz's latest with Odin and then flash the Continuum zip.

Sent from my couch on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've been using this ROM since the beginning. I really like it.

It seems like some combination of rom updates, different kernels, disabling tweaks, freezing maps, etc. has finally done away with the lag issues I have had.

So that really leaves with just 2 issues:

1. The battery life has never been very good for me. I'm not saying it's terrible, just worse than what I was used to with Froyo

2. The wifi seems to have issues when you either first turn it on or if the phone has been inactive for quite awhile. Once the wifi kicks in, it takes a long time for any app to be able to pull data from it. I usually end up opening various apps - browser, twitter, etc. until one finally starts pulling data.

Issue #2 is the bigger issue for me right now.
[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:
I never changed to ext4. The rom came in rfs. I switched to ext4, I report back my results.
[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:

My battery life

Still 40 % left. Had 44, but had to find shoot me in gallery and try and figure it out
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Are you un-checking the Auto Reboot block, pulling the battery after Odin reads reset. Replace the battery, then putting the phone into recovery mode?

This is the only way to get the Talon kernel to get you CWM3; Talon wont work with the Froyo software. (bootloop)

Once in recovery (cwm3) then choose install zip and select Continuum. It will work for you.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
If you perform a Factory Reset after you flash... you WILL loose some installed apps provided by the Continuum ROM. If you are going to perform a factory reset, do it before you flash the ROM to start off fresh.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Just thought I'd bump this to see if others have had similar issues with wifi or any battery suggestions.

I've read most of the pages in this thread over time and don't remember wifi issues similar to what I've experienced.

I remember having some problems using the WIFI sleep policy in WIFI options. Did you try setting that to never?
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Ask your wifi question in the talon kernel thread I'm not entirely sure but it may be related to the wifi issue they are seeing over there. If so it is being worked on and a new kernel, with this fixed could be out in the next few days.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Switched to RFS from ext4 and it actually seems like its smoother and battery life has actually been better.

On ext4 the battery was definitely draining much faster especially on standby mode
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Kinda hate to post this bit want to confirm what it will take to go back to C4? I assume flash stock and go. I also assume bootloaders FROM GB will be ok to leave at GB while on froyo. I really hate to do this but I need GPS badly and gave not had good GPS since going to GB. It locks somewhat ok but mileage tracking is WAY off.

I have tried most solutions posted here. Do we know of any developer lever changes coming soon or should I just go back to C4? It has been the same for me on 5.4 5.4.1 and 5.5
[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:
Do you have a newer captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Yes, GB bootloaders are Backwards compatible. Are you going to flash C4 or C4.1? I don't thing C4 can be flashed with CWM3 (if im wrong, someone please correct), while C4.1 can be flashed with CWM 2 or 3. Just follow Cezar's instructions in post #2 of the C4.1 thread, you shoudl be ok.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
If gocats7 flashes back to stock first (like one should), CWM3 will be lost anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Its an 1102.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
You are correct, but whether to flash stock or not is a debated topic, so i try not to take sides, referring him to the install instructions from C4.1.

Cezar says it is mandatory for C4.1, so i am able to continue to stay out of the line of fire on that topic.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I was wrong about the install instructions, they are located in the op, not post 2
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I was probably going to use cesars safe way to stock that doesn't touch bootloaders. I will come back when GPS is fixed. Sucks because other than that I really like this ROM, ran every version.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
You shouldnt have any problems going back, I did it myself right after beta3 came out, didn't come back until 5.1 came out. If you are planning to come back to GB later, then i would say definitely use Cezar's safe method, not touching bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Gocats7, sorry to hear your GPS performace is keeping you from staying on 5.5. GPS has been the best I've ever had on a ROM after a few tweaks (gpsconf dir, etc).

Had this rom for a week or so, upgraded from Continuum 4. My phone gets warm instantly now. Is this common for others?
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I have the same wifi issue you have. Always takes a little to kick in after it's connected and I even do the same thing with opening other apps that pull data until it works. I'm currently using Xcals kernel and was having the same problem with talon.

For info: Continuum 5.4.1 w/ xcals kernel 1.2 w/voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Yea me too, its a nice ROM. Would you review what changes u made and I can run through them before I change?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Only if you have an app running wild. Maps 5.4 and newer is really bad about that. If freezing maps doesn't fix it, reflash would be my next move.
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
I don't use Maps, is that important? What do I use to freeze it? How does Opera Mobile work with it?

It's not TOO hot. Just it only got hot when Youtubing for a while or something.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
TiBu will freeze apps. As far as maps, if youdint use it, just uninstall. If you decide you want it later, you can restore from backup, out dl from market again. Usually when maps causes problems, you get big battery drain.

My phone usually runs between 90°-100°f, depending on weather,fwiw.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Titanium backup will let you freeze it.
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
If I freeze it can I open it?

You would need to unfreeze it first.

I do want to know what you did... GPS on this rom is one of the best so far, but sometimes it takes way too long to lock...

tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanx^^
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
I followed the process posted on this thread a few days ago. I'm trying to find the exact post.

But for now, here are the essentials. I downloaded the current Mosaic III ROM. Extracted the GPS files and copied them to a directory structure that didn't exist in Continuum v5.5.

I had horrible GPS until I did this. Now I lock within 15 - 20 seconds and maintain the lock. Tracking seems to be 95% spot on from my testing. Accuracy is 15 - 20 meters. Tested with following modems: JL2, JK4, JP9.

Will post when I find the exact procedures.

EDIT: Added links / procedures I followed to tweak my GPS.

I followed both of these posts:

1. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14053459&postcount=6613

GPS settings menu:

SUPL/CP Settings: Server FQDN = Custom Config, Server: supl.google.com, Server Port: 7276, SUPL Secure Socket = ON, AGPS Mode = SUPL

Application Settings: Tracking, S/W Test, MS Based, Hot Start, GPS Plus = On, Dyn accuracy = on, Accuracy = 40, GPS logging = off

Then delete GPS data (I rebooted after - probably not necessary)

Specify location with the Faster Fix app from the market to customise the NTP settings.

2. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14053122&postcount=6611

Basically, Mosaic GB ROM has the same file structure as Adam's GPS fix.

Download Mosaic GB ROM and extract the following and copy into Continuum:

/system/bin/gpsd directory

/system/etc/gps.conf and jupiter.xml

/system/lib/libgps.so

As I said, I had horrific GPS performance prior to this "tweak". Now, I can actually use my GPS. Hope this helps those that are having issues with GPS performance. As always, your mileage may vary.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Gotcha. I did that but was on 5.4.1 at the time. Will try it again on 5.5....if I can find it! Thanks for posting.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I had the issue on Talon and XCal's. I just started from stock and went back to Talon kernel and have not converted to ext4. I started by going back to stock because I couldn't get voodoo to disable and XCal's was lagging really bad and the phone froze up too much for my liking today. Now I am on 5.5 with the Talon test 17 I think. GPS always sucks so I leave it alone. I am waiting to see what Android phones AT&T releases later this summer when I am eligible for an upgrade. Samsung just blows with GPS.

When transparency is done right I like it, 5.4.1 was perfect IMO the bars with text were BLACK not dark grey but black and the unused space below it (with no text) was slightly transparent. I wish this was an option for 5.5

I do agree that a transparent background with text is horrible and should never be a stock setup.

Did a search for "duplicate" but couldn't find anything on this. Anyone else getting duplicate selections when setting Ring and/or Notification tones?

I tried wiping cache and dalvik-cache.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
You probably have the duplicate ringtone or notification tone in your media folder stored on the internal SD card. Take out the duplicate names from that media folder on the SD card and that should clear things up.
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
I'll have to disagree. I've had a pre-Galaxy model Sammy's Android phone before (was it called spica or something?) and its GPS worked just fine.

I did have some troubles with the GPS on Continuum (although Rogers' 2.2 ROM had GPS working well) so yesterday I went to AngryGPS and reset all the settings and switched from HotStart to ColdStart. I've also disabled sensors/WiFi positioning and voila, almost instant locks today.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Frack me. I found an inconspicuous folder on the SD card where I stored duplicate tones many moons ago and forgot about. Moved it to the external SD in a folder with a .nomedia folder in it and bingo-bango! it worked.

Thanks for the reminder --- should've done a search function via Root Explorer on the first round.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Agreed. I don't blame Samsung in general, just this line seems pretty imperfect. I had a Samsung "dumbphone" that had amazing GPS using a java app called "gmaps". (Samsung M520, I believe it was). Immediate lock and perfect tracking.

This Galaxy S of mine is just slow to lock. Trying your setting now though.

Edit: Anyone know, if making changes in the GPS settings, do you need to reboot to test each configuration?

Anyone else having poor graphics performance? I have my Captivate OC'd to 1.2ghz and while the OS responds great but as soon as I jump into a game it gets laggy and slow. I just downloaded Plants Vs Zombies and it wont run smooth at all.

Haven't tried that game yet, but I've tried many other graphically intensive games with little issue.

PvZ is brand new, and V1.0. It's probably not optimized for many devices yet. I know there was a list of other devices it won't even run on at all.

5.5 update

Just a note to update those of you that tried to help me with earlier issues.

5.5 using existz T20 ROM and the latest T2 is working rock solid. Any gripes I had are pretty much resolved.

I think once existz releases a final, people will be very happy.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
0.2.1 should be released today,fixes most of the reported issues plus some features. Also merged in the latest samsung source, had to revert the touchkey driver changes so it didn't break ktlo, but 99.9% of the new source is in there. Only issue there is now is enabling/disabling wifi sometimes might cause a reboot..usually happens if u enable/disable it 2-3 times in a row, but it will enable and disable so its not broken, just a nasty reboot here and there...which im working on fixing it and hopefully fix it in 0.2.2. But I think 0.2.1 will please most of you, its almost like a completely different kernel compared to 0.1.6-0.1.7..
