It told me that but he time was spot on

1) downloaded boot version

2) one click odin to stock and reboot

3) set usb settings for mass storage and turned on development again then master cleared it

4) reboot with the three finger salute to get to 2e recovery

5) deleted user data and cache for the hell of it

6) removed battery and reinserted

7) loaded odin 1.3 and put the extracted boot tar to the pda and changed no settings

8) held down vol buttons + and - and plugged in usb to go to dl mode

9) waited for the yellow 'hooked up' signal and hit go

Forgive me, I am a n00b with this all. But, I have the sgh-i897...will there be a version that fixes the orientation for the apps? right now everything is horizontal for the i9000... any help is much appreciated. thanks

reflashed and still no joy...all FC, all the time...will be waiting for this to get fixed

Question

I expect this tread to blow up here soon so ill get my question in quick. will this rom ever be a simple install like the 2.2 roms? What i mean is will they ever be just a quick install zip for sd instead of using odin with all the files.

[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Did you disable auto-rotate?
[Captivate Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Yes, everything is horizontal for the i9000, this happened before when I used a rom built for i9000. Hmmm

EDIT: It magically fixed itself when i restarted...yummmmaaaaayyyy. Awesomeness.

Still trying to get some answers...
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
1. not ususally, but it has caused problems in the past. a flash to stock with repartition and pit file will usually fix any file system problems

2. gps is fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
When you do that there is a chance something will get left themed from it. SO refalsh the beta2 zip... its a no wipe so you won't lose anything and then flash mattedblues. I just finished updated the 2 themes I ported over to the new beta2.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No....

no need to remove lagfix.

GPS for me is fine also. But I don't use it much.

That was to make the home button work. It is already included in this rom. We still don't have a fix for home haptic feedback.

why jp9 modem, the kc1 is working better than any modem/rom/kernel combo i have ever had? actually i had one person complain it was too loud.

is jp9 gingerbread and what effects are people reporting?
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
just flashed the latest kernel from xcal with CWM rotation perfect and i think compass works as well too, the dream of a fully working captivate GB ROM is closer and closer

JP9 works fine for me, but its all different depending where you live.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Tdvjp9 hangs on to wcdma 850 longer than any modem I have used. KC1 and jvk work well but they switch back and forth to 1900 more frequently I find.

yeah it's basically fully functional, now we just need voodoo sound and for galaxy tuner to be updated so i can get 3d sound and equalizer back.

as for lagfix, it's great for benchmarks but do we need it? i think not. (it never helped anyway :P)
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
Anyone have "About Phone" from settings FC after flashing latest xcal kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] eatonjb:
curious.

why does the kernel have the auto rotate issue? what causes this, and where is the kernel from?
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Seems like the "About Phone" just randomly starts crashing after a while. Happened to me on Beta1 last night without any modifications and seems like a few people in the thread have posted it too.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
I flashed every single one that said jvb. They worked flawlessly. I just didnt keep them because im more of a stock look kinna guy
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Where I work there (500,000sq/ft steel building with concrete inner walls) there is only 2 modems that work. XXJVK and TDVJP9. JVK is a bit faster data wise but it isn't 850 enabled without my flash method. I want to offer the best I can with out the trick when released with the rom.

Voice quality was the same.xxjvk and xxjve are gingerbread modems. TDVJP9 is Froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Does voodoo sound (paid) not work?!
[Captivate Android Development] nv83:
Ugh hope that's not the case. I did wipe & reset, cleared cache. I restored a lot of user apps with Tibu (no system) and clean installed some others such as maps. Were you getting the same thing on yours? My batch #(is that right?) is 1007.

Forgot to mention also signal strength in general is worse, some places where I was getting H I'm now getting 3G, places where I had low signal before I get nothing or 1bar of 2g.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
which kernal are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
This is so weird to me. I just don't get how people can have such different experiences on the same phone. To have the feeling that one ROM is smoother than another is one thing, but I've never tried a rom that I felt was terrible (unless it's in an extremely early beta phase).

I can see someone experiencing some stuttering, or something to that effect. But using words like "unusable", etc just blow my mind.

I'm not doubting what you're saying in the slightest. It's just bizarre to me. I've heard a lot about maps specifically. I've used maps twice now (but extensively each time) and had no issues. I wonder what could possibly cause it for the few that are having problems.

I've never been sure about this batch thing either. Does the batch have a decimal in the middle? So after my serial number, it says 10.11. Is that the batch?
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
I am not even on GB ROM I have a friend with the same build experiencing issues. He in fact went back to JF6, factory reset, even removed all media and contents from internal sd (he did a complete reformat and stuff) the phone looked goddamn new like how we got it the first day from at&t. Then he followed instructions one by one as stated in the OP (we did all this from my computer). Successfully installed GB and went to market and reinstalled all apps (not even TiBu restore of user apps) . He is experiencing lit of lags. AGAIN PEOPLE I AM NOT BLAMING THE ROM OR CEZAR. MY CONCLUSION IS EACH CAPTIVATE IS DIFFERENT. MAY BE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN COMPUTER TO PHONE MIGHT BE CAUSING A BAD FLASH. So, dont just think I am here to criticize. When we flash any ROM the experience could be differnt. Majority of.people on thia ROM are not facing any problem (say, 99/100). But, hey there is a chance that you are that 1/100 :-)

Could you tell me how to force my KC1 modem to use only 850?

Thanks

Ok found it, sorry for this post

If you are on WCDMA 1900 and want to change to WCDMA 850,

1. From the phone Dial Pad, enter: *#2263#

2. From the "BAND SELECTION" menu select "[2] WCDMA BAND"

3. From the "WCDMA BAND" menu select "[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)"

4. Exit out of menu and check to make sure your band is now WCDMA 850 using *#0011#
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I've got a 1007 build Captivate (refurb). I have experienced no lag with this ROM. I came from Paragon, which was also a great ROM.

I have had problems with other ROMs ( I won't name), that simply seemed to not be campatible with my phone.

This Continuum 5.4.1, as of now, is the best I've found, for my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Weird, I was on Serendipity for about 3 days, and I had a bad experience with it. It just would not run right.

As far as 2.2 Roms, Paragon was the best, and to me, Continuum, beats Paragon.

I have 7 screens, one with Launcher Pro FB widget, one with Calender widget, and between the other 5 I have a combination of about 40 apps and internet shortcuts. It runs absolutley great

Great job icezar1! Keep it up!
[Captivate Android Development] bbubelis:
Sounds like a Paragon reunion, but I'll "third" that review. Paragon WAS the best Froyo ROM I ever used, but Continuum blows it away. Great job, icezar!
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
NICE! What are the chances that the charge bug has been resolved in this latest build? Although judging how quickly this is released after JVH, it's most likely just some minor localizations or some other little tweaks, but one could only hope!!
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Well, it is an official release... so hopefully they've ironed out a bunch of the annoyances in the test builds. I don't know how they do their testing, but I really hope they have at least one person use the builds for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Any wagers as to whether or not we have a new version of C5 to flash in the next few days, maybe a week,tops.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Charge bug is hit and miss.

I was on Continuum 5.4.1 since it was released and I had it. Went to Mosaic III and had it. Came back to Continuum 5.4.1 with a Nandroid restore (after going back to JF6 stock) and this morning after pulling it off the charger, I DID NOT have it. I'm crossing my fingers that it stays that way.

Was running Xcal's kernel on all of them. Note, had this with my brief stint with Talon on initial 5.4.1 release.

Go figure...
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I think you just got lucky IMO and the bug is still there. We shall see
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I'm going to try that today....Turn off Wif FI sleep and see how much of a difference that makes.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, that's why I'm afraid of flashing something new now. :D
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Here are my system setting:

AutoBrightness, AutoRotate, AutoSync off

Wifi(only when necessary, not all the time) off

Bluetooth (same as wifi)

Background data off (unless on Market)

Samsung app updates off

Continuum 5.4.1

Talon 0.1.7 Test 15

Default Tweaks

EXT4 file system

ZSJPG modem

I only have 4 widgets on Home pages.

Using Sony Home(aka Arc) Launcher

I have completely removed Maps and Keep The Lights On

I also do my best to calibrate my battery after a flash, even if i flash at 90+ (I dont want a bunch of people saying "you dont need to ...", thats just how i do it).

If I know I am not going to need my data connection for a couple of hours, I will deactivate it through the power menu. It deactivates data, but you can still receive sms messages (still have to reenable to reply to them).
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I got the bug switching to GR12 from GR 11. The back to 5.4.1. After switching kernels a few times back and forth from Talon to Excal (which I prefer) I have not had the issue. Seems random and could either happen or be fixed by any ROM flash. I would say keep flashing. I have not once flashed to JF6 since switching ROMs either.

Looking forward to SGS II. Seems like that guy will not need so much work out of the box from what I am reading and seeing.

Thanks for your help :-)

Auto brightness OFF (set at 8% or so)

WiFi sleep when screen off

Auto Rotate off

BLACK wall paper

I do use a lot of widgets

I get around 17 hours max . Light use. Almost no calls, less than 1 text a day, mostly wifi Browsing and email accounts. LOL and I carry an extra battery......go figure

I use less than 100MB airtime data a month and less than 300 Minutes phone time. about 25 texts. So I am a light user,

If you device is looking for signals all the time that may use some juice.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Froyo ROMs are compatible with the GB bootloaders. You just need to flash the ROM in recovery as I understand.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Only special thing ... Backup...
[Captivate Android Development] cheetablaze:
Is this a final release or will we see more updates for this great rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
You may want to save yourself some trouble and follow the OP and go back to stock with either of the ways below then go to a 2.2 rom, not saying you will have problems just flashing back to a 2.2 rom, I always try to follow the roms creators directions:

Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely

Gingerbread focuses on graphical performance and I assume there was a need in changing several boot instructions, hence the need of updating the boot loaders.

By updating the boot loaders you take a risk of making your device unusable. However, the files are very small so the chance of this happening is somewhere below 1% (roughly calculated by comparing the number of downloads with the number of bricks)

There are 2 presumably safe ways to go back to stock 2.1

OdinOneClick Downloader – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone

Stock JF6 without boot loaders – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone except bootloaders

Stock JF6 with bootloaders and 3 button combo fix (not available yet!) – I will be working on creating this package – it will do the same as OdinOneClick Downloader except that it will add the 3 button combo fix

Unsafe ways to go back to stock

ODIN JF6 with 3 button combo fix – this will only downgrade the secondary boot loader leaving the primary one untouched. If you ever flash ODIN packages and is mentioned that they include boot loader(s) make sure that they include them both!! BY USING THIS METHOD TO GO BACK TO STOCK FROM MY ROM OR ANY OTHER GINGERBREAD ROM THAT UPDATED BOOT LOADERS, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!

You may use this method ONLY AFTER using OdinOneClick Downloader as that method will revert the primary boot loader as well.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Also, so long as your Froyo zip is compatible with your current kernel CWM version. If you are running xcal's, then should be no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
My batch is 1007 (July of '10) - listed after the SN. I find it hard to believe that some cappy's won't work well with GB. Individual SW configs is my guess...

Mine is working the best I've seen. I am using xcal's kernel but the latest talon would probably work roughly the same.
[Captivate Android Development] vercro:
Is there any way to increase call volume? It's always felt kind of low. It's a little better after installing Continuum, but still a bit too low for when I'm outside or whatever. I have it set to max while on the call right now.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I have found that experimenting with different modems will help.

On Froyo, I loved the JL2 modem, but found that it gave me low call volume. On GB, JQ1 works the best for me both with call volume and reception.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
THIS ^^^^^^

Is all you need be concerned with. IF you are on Talon Kernel you will have to flash Excals Kernel. Then you can flash any CW 2.5 ZIP..be it a 2.2 ROM or Theme.

I have not needed to go back to stock UNLESS there is an issue. Usually there isn't if you followed all procedures correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
First step, gotta get those updated kernels (I hope xcal and existz are all over JVO) and I am sure we'll see a C5.5 shortly thereafter if all goes well for us happy users. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I have not been happy with call volume or speaker volume since Cog 2.3B3. That is one thing that really blows about the Cappy no one has been able to fix.

Headphone volume has been fixed by Supercurio.

Then again I could have destroyed my hearing using Voodoo Control......LOL
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Thats why I use Kp1. I know it's not the best modem out there but it for sure has the best call volume.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Anyone else feeling sympathetic to the themers/porters (Viv and Shoman, and other I may have missed) if there is a JVO base? :eek:

I've been doing my own keyboards that don't depend on ROM base changes, which is comparatively much simpler, and it's a headache in and of itself. Leaves you feeling cross-eyed checking and cross checking filenames.

Kudos to them for keeping things up to date as we trudge on forward.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
+1 much love to the folks keeping the themes up to date with all the constant Dev updates that folks like existz and Cezar keep serving up to us!

[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Thanks Icezar and Xcalibur for your work with Gingerbread. After installing this ROM, JK4, and the reoriented Kernel my phone and I have never been so happy. This is the first time I come back to check the thread after a week. I do not care about another update unless you (Icezar) highly recommended or a major issue is fixed.

After fiddling with the phone, I am convinced that a lot of the tweaks are not needed. And if they are implemented, some stability is lost in the process.

Donations will be coming soon to the three developers in this project..

Thanks.

Gingerbread is way better than Froyo.. If not something went wrong with the installation.

I froze Google Maps using Titanium Backup and that fixed my problems. I was having the exact same problems as you and almost flashed back to Serendipity until I saw someone mention that fix. Haven't had a problem since.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Maybe I suck at reading but I figure I may as well ask (I have searched the thread a few times).

I'm currently on CM7 and want to flash this. As I understand since CM7 is not designed for the captivate it uses a different bootloader and so I must flash the galaxy S bootloaders found in this thread. After that, flash the kernal, reboot into recovery and flash the continuum .zip....is this correct?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Yes, but double check method 1 in the op. I noticed you didn't say anything about unchecking auto reboot when you flash the kernel by itself. Also, once you flash the new bootloaders, recovery is now power + up, not the 3 buttons your used to (power + down is download mode fyi). Good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] imanu:
Do you have a link for this kernel ? i've search everywhere :confused:

Because right now i'm on Talon kernel ...

Which kernel are you on? Did you try the latest talon kernel (in development)... you could try the build attached
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
I flashed the Talon Test 15 kernel, then used the endomondo app to track a bike ride and it was logging a mile for every ~2000ft. Was on Test 11 prior and didn't get this behavior, mileage was spot on.

I just flash xcal kernel, curious if this gets fixed, or is an app issue.

Steps to go to xcal:

Back to rfs via voodoo control app

Wipe Dalvik cache

Flash xcal novoo 1.2 kernel

Reboot.

How did you get to cwm? did you uncheck autoreboot before you flashed kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I don't think earlier versions if the kernel are with 5.4 and up. 5.4 is JVH based, while 5.3 and earlier are JVB based. The 0.1.7 kernel is the only one that is JVH based.
