I think the Netflix that works is in the themes forum, for Samsung Captivate.

Anyway to have seperate colours in the messaging app in this Rom, instead of grey on grey?

By the way Icecsar, amazing Rom mate!!! Love it! Was on Mosaic 3 the other day, but too much Blue on black, hurts your eyes, like them new style xmas lights!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
There are many themes for Continuum that change the mms.apk colors.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I think you mean kc1 modem. My modem of choice for many reasons. I've flashed and tested every new ROM build that hits the captivate thread and corresponding kernel. Take my advise and stick to Talon test 15 that was posteda few pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
The wait is killing.... well who am I kidding... patience :)
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
I got to CWM by holding up and power until the screen flashed once and was about to flash again. I did uncheck autoreboot but my first attempt to get to recovery may have failed.

For what its worth, I took the advice to use the GR-12 instructions which basically flashes stock GB then a cwm containing kernel then instead of installing gr-12 from CWM I installed continum and it seems to be working great now! Going to try xcal's kernal.

Thank you for the suggestions!
[Captivate Android Development] R5R:
I found out what causes the lag!

its the kernel

, I flashed talon's 0.1.1 , and the lag is gone! Also i replaced touchwiz 4 launcher with touchwiz 3 launcher which helped a bit with home screen scrolling lag, before flashing back to 0.1.1
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
I've been out of loop for a while and the post count for this thread jumped from about 200 pages to 600 pages -- wow!

Now to the subject: does TW4 work without lag and crashes with any Xcal's or Talon kernels on this ROM? I've checked the OP for either C5-compatible TW3 or any instructions for updating kernel from what's included with the ROM and there's nothing there. I really want to use TW launcher, but the TW4 included with 5.4.1 sucks balls. :(
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
yes i understand the test 15 is the best, but i typo KC1 modem ... is this modem compatible with test 15 kernel? here says that KC1 is only compatible with i9000 reoriented kernel..

RichMD said the KC1 Modem works great .. i want to try it but running Test 15 now.. do i have to change to reoriented?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Glad you got it. On the future if anyone asks, i'll tel them to pull the battery, hold up and power, reinsert battery. Also, existz only packs the Talon roms in tar files. Means you will have to flash his kernels with Odin, ora program from the market that I no longer endorse for Talon kernels. Happy Flashing!
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Kc1 is compatible with every kernel.

I'm also running test 15 and kc1.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
me glad that it worked....I've always had 100% success with it, not that I can not try other methods :D
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Talon is a reoriented kernel, just not THE reoriented kernel that xcal is developing.

For KC1, you just aCWM3 zip if the modem. Page 1 of the modem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Well, JVO seems to have more languages, including Romanian, so I think Im gonna start working. Is pretty snappy. Hope everything will be good
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Awesome news!
[Captivate Android Development] maerlim:
The lag is a combination of tw4 and the kernel. Running tw3 and talon 1.7 test 15 for more than 24 hours I can finally say all is well.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
woooooo hooo :)
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Observation: When I initially flashed 5.4.1 days ago from JF6 stock, Touchdown was running out of control draining my battery on push syncronization (compared to what I've experience on custom Froyo ROMs) so I had to set it to intermittent polling every 15min to manage this. Then, when I gave Mosaic III a shot and then came back to Continuum via JF6 stock, and then Nandroid restored, I am back to having push syncronization with what I call acceptable battery drain.

I also don't have the charging bug, as I posted earlier.

Proof positive that random flashing/restoring, etc. can bring you luck! LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Have you ever tried Maildroid?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Oh yeah!!! Can't wait for some new goodness! We will have to wait a few days to see if some things like the charging bug have been resolved in JVO!
[Captivate Android Development] japr2821:
Well said.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Keep up the good work icezar1 !!
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I just got my Google Music Beta invite! Now I just need these GB roms to work with Google Music!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Thank you for bringing that app to my attention. Honestly, up until now, I was very pleased with Touchdown and their customer service, so saw no reason to search further, especially since I paid for the premium edition. LOL.

If Touchdown starts to run rampant again, I shall take another look at Maildroid.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Awesome NEWS
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
Do you already have a kernel compatible with JVO?
[Captivate Android Development] djkozdefantastico:
anyone else have trouble receiving calls?for some reason it rings once then doesn't give me the option to awesner the call. im sure there is a fix for this, but i dont feel like going thru the 608 pages to find it. any help?
[Captivate Android Development] klloyd:
I turned off all tbe tweaks in the tweaks program in the apps menu, runs like a champ. All the lag went away, even with all animations turned on. So I think the lagging is coming from the program that is actually suppose to be tweaking it. Turn off animations, and its even faster! :) Make sure lagfix is enabled, it was not by default on mine.
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
Great Battery

Getting great battery on this ROM. As as you can see, that included a bunch of messing around with GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] pawadca:
There seems to be a lot of chatter about battery life. I get 15+ hours on mine. Here are the details.

Hardware build 1011.

Followed instructions to the letter but I was changing from GR-12 so I didn't repeat duplicate steps.

As built by cezar except I replaced all launchers with Go launcher ex.

Followed tweak suggestions and on enabled SD, IO, and touch sensitivity.

Followed suggestion to set under voltages.

Turned off auto rotate and auto brightness.

I leave gps and bluetooth on all day. I use wifi as needed.

I receive a lot of calls, use a third party imap email app and tweet a lot.

I have had one incident in the past week where 3g disconnected and would not connect but I've had that on other roms.

Im very happy with this rom and can't wait to see what cezar has planned next. Up until 5.4.1 I was ready to throw in the towel on flash rims. Cezar has saved my flashing addiction.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Great work on this rom! So very glad to have my phone back to its old snappy self (circa paragon RC 5). Have not had any issues yet except the new music app doesn't work like it did with CM7 but hey, i'd rather have a lag free beast of a phone than an app I don't need (songbird rocks).

Thanks devs, i'm sure when my years of schooling pay off and I land a great job when I graduate in a few weeks(rofl) I will be sure to donate.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Hi.

Sorry maybe this has been discussed a lot of times before but I can't seem to find it and a search of MARKET BROKEN or MARKET returns 200 posts and I have been reading but still... no answer.

The question is this it seems my market is broken every download Fails...

I can see apps I can rate them I can do everything, but install apps.

Any ideas.

I restored my apps from Paragon 6, just user apps and data.

thx..
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Never restore data, just apps. Im sure thats your issue
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
I restored missing apps with data... I hope that's not the problem I'm not in the mood to clean reflash and re-install...

it stops the same place always "Starting download"

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Try going to manage applications find the market app clear data and see how that. You'll notice you'll to accept the Terms of service again but just do it.
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
Never restore system data. If you're only restoring user apps with data, you should be fine. Have you cleared your market data?
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Thx guys I cleaned and it did not work, then I cleaned again and rebooted it works like a charm now !

Nice rom :D
[Captivate Android Development] embedded123:
sorry if this was asked before.

some background, I'm running on 2.2 custom ROM with EXT4 and I would like to upgrade to this 2.3 ROM.

These are the steps I'm going to take:

1 - Convert the FS to RFS ( is it needed? )

2 - Get back to stock ROM 2.2 using ODIN

3 - Flash GR-12 ROM which includes the required boot loader for 2.3 ROMS

4 - Flash Continuum 5.4.1 kernel

5 - Finally flash Continuum 5.4.1

Did I miss something?

what do you think about this scenario?

Thanks for this great ROM ( Hope to get a taste of it soon :) )
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
Would someone mind explaining the difference between jvb jvh & jvo?

I have no idea what the acronym stands for let alone the difference.

Thanks.

Its the versions of the base software for our phones different geographic regions get different versions for whatever reason.
[Captivate Android Development] midnightslide:
I don't get this.. either the dev is being redundant, or there is a problem... I have still been noticing intense lag, and I have absolutely no apps installed on my phone. Did a fresh wipe, installed a kernel, installed the rom, lag.

Something I've noticed....

5/9/2011 - v5.4.1 - Download | Mirror | Mirror md5: 3324CB60855BE2D6954D0D1D253E2F9E

* non wipe release *

* if you come from an earlier release - earlier than v5.4 - or different ROM, perform a factory reset from recovery *

* no need to disable lagfix *

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

* if you're caught in a boot loop, reboot in recovery and just install the rom again *

* JVB kernels are not compatible with JVH *

* JVB themes are not compatible with JVH *

Added Talon kernel 0.1.7 Test 10 (all issues should be solved now)

Added Moded Gingerbread launcher - Landscape and Drop to uninstall capabilities

Added MTM Gingerbread Keyboard

The snippit above is from the op. After successfully flashing a new kernel (not the recommended one in the op), I reflashed the rom, and it replaced the new kernel with the same kernel I had before... now, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the instructions in the op say to flash the kernel through odin, and then flash the rom? Isn't it a bit redundant if the rom replaces the kernel anyway??

but.... I looked a little closer, and the phone states:

Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVB-CL118186 blah blah.. Doesn't it say that JVB kernels aren't compatible with the JVH rom? I am a noob at the captivate scene, but it looks to me like the kernel that the rom flashes is a JVB kernel.. which would probably explain my lag...

Any input?
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
which ROM and which Kernal?

on which step are you laggin?

is this after you flashed the stock gingerbread ROM and loaders?

what do you mean?

are you on the talon dev kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
You are so going to get ripped for not reading all 609 pages. The problem is that we only have jvb source. The modules from jvb source require a kernel with a jvb version. The only major change from jvb to jvh was intramfs. So jvb source was recompiled with the new intramfs and so that we have working modules the version on the jvh kernel has jvb in it. Does this clear it up for you?
[Captivate Android Development] midnightslide:
I purchased a used cappy with a 2.3 rom already on it. From there, I followed all of the original instructions from "method 2" in the OP... including flashing the talon kernel that was linked in the "method 2" section of the OP. I even tried a full wipe.. no dice.

When I mentioned "lag" I meant once the rom was installed. Day to day usage was terrible, and would become extremely laggy most of the time, with minimal apps running (maybe google voice, and text messaging open in the bg). Definitely unusable... and extremely frustrating.

Yeah, I pretty much figured.. but oh well.. some will probably rage, and some, like yourself, will post informative answers.

I flashed this kernel (I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2.tar) over the already installed rom from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042543. So far, so good.. it seems pretty damn peppy. Gonna test it for a couple of days and see how she does, but I am a lot happier overall. The only issue, is that on boot, I hear some female robot's voice saying something about a partition being full or there being a lack of space in some partition. The voice is too faint to make out what she is saying.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
JVB and JVH are the different base source versions of Gingerbread that Samsung has released. The devs take a base that the phone company creates and releases and tweaks it. Both of these refer to version 2.3.3. The only difference is JVH is newer (higher in the alphabet) and should have fixes that were found in JVB. JF6 is also a base and that is version 2.1 or Froyo that my phone originally came with.

JVO is a modem file and has nothing to do with the base source listed above. It is the latest, "greatest." Some swear by it, some don't. Other types of modems are JK4, KC1, etc. These can be found in my sig.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: JVB and JVH have nothing to do with geographic locations as mentioned above. However for modems, there can be a difference based on your location. However, people in my geographic area seem to prefer KC1 as a modem and it doesn't work so well with me, but it is in second place. JK4 seems to be the best for me so I don't know if the whole geographic thing for modems is true.

Continiuum Vs CM7

Hi,

I installed Continuum 5.4.1 and Talon 0.1.2 . The best part was the display, sony launcher and the whole thing looked really crisp, but the main drawback was that it was very slow. For reference Quadrant score was around 800 with ext4 and rfs

Then reading on of the posts, I went ahead and changed the kernel to

Xcals GVH - I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2.tar md5 and so far, its been very fast compared to the Talon kernel. Check the Quadrant score and it showed 1560.

I know QS is not reliable :)

My question is- When I switched to Xcals kernel- the display does not seem to be as crisp as Talon's kernel- I believed all those display level parameters are set in ROM and does not depend on kernel, but may be not?

Next Question- what about CM7 vs 5.4.1 - which is a better ROM for SPEED?

Thanks

Chad
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
have used both CM7 and Continuum. With CM7 t was mainly about the appearance and sometimes speed. with CM7 i got around 1500, with Continuum i got like around 2600! yes know its not reliable but....;)
[Captivate Android Development] minotaur507:
For those experiencing significant lag using Talon 0.1.7, here is a suggestion that has dramatically improved my stability...

In the "Tweaks" applet, make sure that the following tweaks are the ONLY ones enabled:

- SD: Speed tweak

- I/O: No-a-time

- I/O: Scheduler

There are other ones like RAM: Min-free, Kernel: Scheduler, and VM: Swapiness that are enabled by default. Make sure these are disabled and that only the above is enabled and you might see a good improvement in smoothness and stability...

Just something that has worked for me. YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Its set in the kernel. You should install the talon test 15 kernel. The kernel included with the rom had a defect where it would ruin at 800mhz instead of 1000mhz even though it said 1000.

And yes quadrant scores don't mean ****.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Cezar, you might want to know that JV9 has been released officially from Vodafone with a newer build date... :-) . JVO seems ancient now! lol
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
On the Talon kernel my Quadrant was around 1100, with xcal's I'm at 1507. I haven't niticed a change in the display
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Just for your info JVO is a new base just released in the UK.
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
You get 2600..??? Wow .what's the complete configuration
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
The only issue here is that I don't know where to find test 15..please let me know
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
Cudnt believe display is set in the kernel. . But good to know. Thanks:-)
[Captivate Android Development] billmouthclinton:
Hey guys, my "maps" wasn't working, so I deleted it... Now my "market" disappeared...wdf?

Any suggestions?

[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Sounds like you deleted Market instead of maps. Get the Market APK and reinstall it.
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
On the other hand, some folks just don't have time to read 6,100+ posts hoping for a quick answer. I just now tried to put myself in his shoes, did a few searches for JVB/JVH and also for Kernel. Each search of this thread came back with 1,000 results, which I'm guessing is a limit?

I have read every post in this thread, but only because I have kept up with it every single day, and as someone who works 10-12 hours a day and balances a family, I'll lose track of the thread if I don't keep up with it. Someone new to the scene, well, I personally have a hard time judging them for not reading 6,100 posts before asking a question that is probably going to get a quick response, anyway.

Not trying to flame you, either. Just adding my two cents to the concept. If I came to a thread with 6,100 posts and a quick search couldn't answer a question, I'd ask, too. :)

EDIT: And again, not flaming you at all. You were very kind in taking the time to answer him. I say this more for the benefit of those who might respond differently and flame him, as you mentioned might happen. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I understand not reading all 6000+ pages, but I dint think the last 20-25 sound unfair. And thats my 2¢
[Captivate Android Development] dirtblade:
My data connection has recently dropped a couple of times. Basically, I've noticed that some of apps are no longer getting updates (engadget widget for example). Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

To fix this I had to reboot my cappy.

What other modems are compatible with 5.4.1? Also, has someone tried Talon 0.1.6 with this ROM?

Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] nv83:
Just wanted to update with a cocktail of tweaks one/all/some of which may have helped that I tried based on people's responses to my post (thanks!):

- Tried xcal's kernel - didn't notice much difference and charging death appeared, so switched to Talon Test 15 and seems good so far

- Switched to KC1 modem and saw huge difference in call reception. I was getting 20-25% signal strength in my house before and 35-45 after. Switched again to JVQ and saw further slight improvement (now get about 49).

- Froze Maps & TouchWiz...went back to LauncherPro

Gonna unfreeze maps and see what happens...kind of a crucial app for me.

thanks for the feedback all.
[Captivate Android Development] nouseferaname90:
I'm not sure if its an application or something causing the problem, but whenever I plug my usb cable from my computer to my phone, my phone freezes up and I have to take the battery out to restart. Slightly inconvenient for transferring files.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtblade:
Can you please point me to KC1 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
it's in the first sticky on this forum. Change ur apps settings to allow you to see them
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
Go back to the Captivate Development forums and click on the paperclip next to this thread, the link for downloading it should be there.

EDIT: Or what he said above, I forgot the link was in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtblade:
Great! Thanks guys!
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
ACKKKKK!!! Too many choices :)

(So now the trick is to figure out other than the usual carrier customizations, what the difference between JV9 and JVO are...I guess it's time to hit the i9000 threads this morning and see what the chatter is like).
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Agreed. I'm all for using search and not being lazy... but on the other hand, it doesn't help when an overwhelming percentage of the posts on this thread are misusing it as if it were an IM app, often with pages of chit-chatty posts of only a couple words which add nothing of value. I recognize that people are very excited about their favorite ROM, but the more you scroll page after page of just conversational chatter, the more of a nightmare you present to the newcomer who is legitimately just looking for information and answers to questions.

(This isn't unique to this thread/ROM, but worth mentioning since the point came up).

Just saying... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:

Which kernel are you running and what version?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
that was an old issue that has been resolved with the newer kernel, as far as I know.
[Captivate Android Development] nouseferaname90:
ahh, I see. I'll give it a shot again. T was running Talon 0.1.1, and I do now see thats an old one.

That should fix you up. Scroll back aways and get the .15 test version. It's great!

[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
don't know if this is a problem with anyone else.....

but touch input chinese randomly stopped workign for me today when I wanted to use it

it worked last week when I used it once on thursday.

any ideas what could casue this? the only thing I did was change from test 13 kernal to test 15 kernal and changing the modem from JP1 to JQ1 and installing some other apps....could that "break" touch input chinese?

when I mean "break" is when I select the input method, the keyboard never shows up for touch input chinese

I have tried wiping cache and davlik and no dice

I've changed ROMs at the same time to see if this crops up anywhere else and it has for Symply's JV9 based ROM. but I happen to be using Test 15 kernal as well......

CPU Spy

Just wondering in CPU Spy what clock speed does the "deep sleep" state run at?

Also, I'm getting awesome battery life. Dropping roughly 1-2% on idle with data off. Running super smooth as well with only turning on the recommended tweaks a page or so back. Awesome Rom!
