I was stuck at boot, did my buttons a bit differntly (hold vol+ and power just until first screen comes on and release both. CWM came up then. Unfortunatly, if I used the vol+ key after that the phone would crash and go into some error screen saying FORCED key recovery or some such....I was even able to load the rom if I never touched the UP vol key.

after the rom was loaded, the UP vol key also crashed the phone back to that screen.

And can I still use the default MMS.apk from I9000 Froyo Rom? I don't like the Samsung ones.

EDIT: Yep, I can still use it. Sorry for not trying it first. :D
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I installed RC3 and installed TiBu from market...and this new detect backup folder setting sucks..it detects my backup folder on external_sd but there is no select /OK button to select that perticular folder :/ how to do it..anyone has idea??? thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
At the bottom it says "use the current folder" press this button.

Edit: if you hit the back button it will change the location.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, will do in ext release, donnow why i left them there..
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Default MMS from i9000 is Samsung. Do you mean AOSP one?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Yes, I believe so. But it crashes when I receive a new text message. So I'm back to the Samsung one. It would be great if you can make it work on this rom. :)

I am having the same issue. Is there no fix available for us lacking 3-button combos? I can flash through download mode just fine, but recovery is unavailable with Gingerbread bootloaders on my phone :(
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
Hi Guys sorry but can anyone tell me what is hash check. I read this in the OP from Cezar.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Anyone having issues getting TiBu to work at all? I just restored about 200 apps (not system data). They appeared on my phone fine. Reboot, and all of my apps are gone, except for 2 broken icons and random FC's all over the place.
[Captivate Android Development] rivtre:
My tibu worked fine,both app and data were restored properly
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
What version are you installing, this was an issue with RC1, something was wrong with the install script. The work around for that was to do a clear user data / factory reset after install in cwm and before you reinstalled your apps. Have not had this issue with any of the updates after RC1. You may want to just reflash RC3 following the directions.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Does anyone know of a way to either turn off back light for the home, back, search, and menu buttons or at least adjust the amount of time they stay on? Mine are constantly on until I put my phone in to sleep mode. I would prefer for then to just stay off all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
A hash is a signature (simply put, a bunch of numbers and letters) of a file. If the signature generated on my computer (which can be found on google code for the bootloaders file) is the same as the signature generated on your computer, then you have the exact file as me. If the signature generated on your computer is different, then the file was not downloaded properly and the phone will brick.

A hash makes sure that there are no bits left behind while downloading.
[Captivate Android Development] japr2821:
Just disable keep the lights on.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
So you tried Vol UP + Power and it didnt get you to recovery? (this is the combo with new boot loaders and is mentioned twice in the OP and 2nd post)
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
There is no way yet. you can disable "keep the lights on" service by adding the widget to your home screen and tapping on it once.
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
interesting development for me on the battery charge issue....having never seen the problem, it just happened twice in a row.

What changed? A couple things...new kernel. I flashed excaliberinhand's using SGS kernel flasher (then it happened). Then flashed exsitz talon back the same way...still happened.

However, messed with the kernels I changed wifi sleep policy to never...after having always used wifi off when screen is off.

Today I'll try the wifi settings to see if that is the cause (It seems like it could based on some people doing flight mode on/off as fix), if not I'll use ODIN to put the talon kernel back.

This is definitely the most annoying bug for me...and I never had it before!
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Yeah I did that and they stay off until the screen goes off then when you turn the screen back on the lights come back on. Oh well. Not a big deal.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
It is a terrible bug reported in all gingerbread based ROMs... funny thing is that I have a friend with an i9000 and he has no issues.

I rad stock odexed JVB and i still, had it..
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Then uninstall Keep The Lights On.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I have no problems with the battery charging. I'll charge overnight and, when I unplug my Captivate, I'll have 98-99% battery no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Tried that too and they still come back on.
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
Hi Cezar thanks for the response but I am really not a techy person and would not know how to compare the hash that you are saying. Can you please guide me how to compare the signature form your computer to the signature on my computer? :)

Thank in advance...

EDIT: Hi Cezar, got this "07c0129349cdc7d8f4ca1f1d664df9f0b220406e" from a freeware from internet. Is this the same with your?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I think you need to disable ktlo before uninstalling it for the button not to lit up when the screen is on.

[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Did that too...
[Captivate Android Development] miahsoul:
Don't know if anyone has noticed yet but kinectic scrolling is messed up on.the browser. It can only go a certain distance before stopping abruptly.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
This is with RC3. I wiped and reflashed, and TiBu restored everything fine the second time around.

It didn't work. I ended up flashing a different Odin package I found in the I9000 forums, and after a while I was able to get that combo to work, otherwise I would just get the "FORCED UPLOAD MODE by KEY PRESSING" screen.

Also, can someone tell me what this charge bug I keep hearing about is? I don't think I've encountered it yet, but considering battery charge/drainage issues are what prompted me to try a GB ROM in the first place...well...:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Same thing on my side. I actually turned off KTLO, rebooted, and tried to reinstall from the Market to try and disable again, and it seems like it's hardcoded, meaning the minute you turn the screen off and back on the lights come right back on regardless of the widget.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I like having the new mms because you don't have to open a bubble to read the whole text. A lot less button pushing.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
I concur about ktlo not getting disabled even when you disabled it in the widget and then uninstalling it.

Samsung Galaxy S i896 on Cezar's Continuum v5 GingerBread
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Hm.. im gonna take a look at the lights libs, might be from there. KTLO might not even be necessary on gingerbread actually
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I'm curious. Did you go back to stock after we worked with you last night? I'm wondering. From stock just update the bootloaders and boot up the phone and wee if it does the same thing. If it works fine... then install the kernel and try again. I'd like to know if updating the bootloaders or using cwm3 is causing it. If its cwm3 that's the problem, then you can load the rom then dl XCals kernel which is cwm 2.5 and flash that kernel and see if that fixes it. Thats would be very interesting if it worked fine with cwm2.5 vs cwm3
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I have been having two issues.

1: FC in settings about phone when using any keyboard other than samsung.

2: Charging issue. It seems that when the phone reaches full charge it stops charging (as it should) but doesn't start again (as it should) until the charger is unplugged and plugged back in. That means, I can plug it in, go to bed, wake up to a phone that says 100%, unplug it and have 60% charge.

Yesterday I switched to Mikey's GR9 ROM. Flashed all the way back to stock and started completely from scratch. I still have both problems. Seems like a Gingerbread problem and not something specific to Continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
Hi Cezar, got this "07c0129349cdc7d8f4ca1f1d664df9f0b220406e" from a freeware from internet. Is this the same with your for your C5RC3? Where can I find the hash of your files? Are they indicated anywhere in this thread or they are in the inside the zip file?

Please help...
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
This hash checking thing freaks me out LOL ...a very advance level instruction . Would love to get to a point where flashing is as easy as it is from eclair to froyo :-)

from Continuum V4 on matted blue theme using XDA premium app
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
1. FC issue is fixed since RC3. If you dont take my word for it, reinstall RC3 and you will see that it has GB keyboard as default. As well go to about phone and there will be no FC. TRUST ME! Do not install any theme over, as it might overwrite my Settings.apk.

2. this is a known issue, still trying to figure out what causes it
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
haha...same here...just want to be sure that everything is ok as mentioned in the OP before flashing because it is not as easy flashing v5 as it used to be for v4 or older versions...lol
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I'm using the I9000 MMS.apk, the one that is black and gray. Not the samsung one with bubbles. I like that cos I could set a vibration pattern when a new text is received. But the problem is, when you enable the Notification on the MMS settings, that's when it crashes. So turning it off would make it to work. But no notification on the status bar. Lol.

Captivate, Continuum, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Nevermind, I edited the OP, no hashing required. The bootloaders have their own hash which is checked by ODIN while flashing (that means that you dont have to do absolutely noting else than following the steps).

However, that hash you're asking about is for the bootloaders package on google code, where you actually download the package from.

Again, guys, steps are clear, follow them and you wont get in trouble.

Optional steps are, as stated, optional! And their importance and situations when they are needed is explained as well.

Troubleshooting info is in the OP as well. Everything is there and it took me a while to put all info there. So, please, respect the amount of time invested in this and read the OP.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
My friend, i9000 mms.apk

IS

samsung!

Please, what exactly are you talking about? AOSP mms? Some other mms from some other rom? mms from froyo?

Im not sure if you are aware but the rom comes with i9000 mms.apk. This is a i9000 rom optimized for Captivate but mms.apk is 100% i9000...
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
I think he's taking about AOSP
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I meant AOSP.

Captivate, Continuum, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
OK, thanks for clearing out :)

Ill have a look at the one from CM7 and see if i can do anything
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Just to add on, hashes are generally for extra security and piece of mind because it ensures the file integrity. In the security industry it's used to verify the file (esp isos) haven't been tampered with and is an original image (think someone trying to inject a nasty malware or virus into your fav dist of the latest Windows beta).

In this case it's also used to make sure you don't have a partial or incomplete image.

Bottom line it's for your piece of mind, so need to 'fear the hash' :)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Parden my french but wtf is a hash.. (I thought it was a checkmark in a box:-P) im just curious!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The guy above you just answered but.. oh.. well..
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
If you want to get technical the term we should be using is 'checksum' but the simplest way to think about it is a unique ID for a file. You want to match it to know it's the file you think it is.

If you are really bored, here's a pretty good write up on it http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

Hope that answers the hash questions and we can go back to some ROM troubleshooting goodness!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Thanks. Sorry for confusing you all. :)

Captivate, Continuum, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
Ok. I'll try it. You should consider revising the OP by letting everyone know that flashing one of the linked themes could cause the keyboard FC.
[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:
Does or will this rom have the record feature found on previous continuum roms?

I love that feature, as I have a horrible memory and I record my conversations with my boss so I don't forget something

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Ok I guess I didn't quite understand. Its a security measure? One that apparently I overlooked when following the instructions and flashing RC3. I still don't understand what it means. Its ok, it didnt mess up the install so I guess I don't need to know what it means..thanks anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
As far as I know this has NOT been implemented in any 2.3.3 ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Im using matted blues for RC3.. everything is working fine. Gingerbread kb n all.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
The charging bug is more severe than I thought. At first, I thought that it would just charge to 100% and just stop charging and drain the battery at a normal rate like when you have it unplugged. It is actually much worse. Once at 100%, it drains very fast while plugged in.

Normally when I charge to 100%, I can unplug and get a drain of 1% per hour on standby. If you keep it plugged in and experience the issue, it drains much much faster. For example, I noticed it reached 100% on charge then one hour later unplugged and it was at 86%. I hope someone can figure this out as it is a major issue.
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Stupid question: Did you calibrate the battery? The bug does exist but it doesn't appear as bad in my case.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not a stupid question at all. Yes, I did calibrate and wiped battery stats. First time this happened to me, it was not as bad. Just did a test in the last couple hours and noticed this. So it seems to be somewhat random and the severity varies when it does happen.

If I unplug at 100%, my battery life is great, about 1% per hour so I do not think it has anything to do with calibration.
[Captivate Android Development] lownox:
My battery life on RC3 is pretty good IMO. According to the screenshots... I could save even more if I cut back on reading XDA. :D

This was my first full battery discharge cycle. Much better than any of the JS8 roms I used. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
can u remove the theme from tw4 and update tw 4 also alow auto rotate for tw4 it to
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:

[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
Well, no Ginger action for me for a while. Quite an experience.

First I would like to thank icezar1 for his hard work. I was excited to try out gingerbread and had waited until I thought it was close to ready for the public.

Anyway, Finally I attempted to flash last night from the latest Paragon ROM to this one. I have a model 1012 phone by the way. Used method 1 without the optional back to stock step.

Was on IRC the whole time and was making sure to follow the OP's advice. Everything went without a hitch until I had booted into the CWR step. Moving down the menu list worked fine. Any attempt to move up (vol+) crashed the phone and displayed an error screen with the little green guy and a message that said something like about "failure usb mode text something or other" (sorry I forget what it said. I was able to get to the "install rom from sd" and was able to choose the correct zip file and got the ROM loaded!! success!! that is, until I attempted to use the vol+ key after a seemingly good boot. So after retrying everything from the gingerbread side (reloading, redownload, different versions of oden). I finally gave up and reloaded back to stock. I was careful to choose a method that would load both bootloaders and it all worked great except, if I rebooted the phone, it would fail to load and go to another error screen somewhat similar to the one I was getting under gingerbread. So, half a Saturday later I finally decide to do the official ATT upgrade to froyo from stock. This worked and now I have a phone that works again (albiet, a bunch of crapware). Thank goodness for my jig which got a workout today. I dont know the cause of all this flakiness and different experiences of each person so I'll blame it on Samsung and ATT. It seems they keep sabotoging each new build so that there can be no common way to install new ROMS that everyone can rely on. I out of the game at least for a week while I count my blessings and get the urge to do this all again!! Anyway, this is the chance we take with this..
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:

I just went back to a Froyo ROM until this is resolved. Seems to effect all 2.3.3 ROMs.

Great work so far iCezar. Too bad you have to clean up Samsung's mess.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
My usage was worse than with Froyo. I average 3%-4% with Froyo. I was using 10% with Gingerbread. Same apps (TiBak restored) and similar usage.

I am back on Froyo until the devs can work out the charging and battery usage issues.

I was just wondering, this is still an i9000 ROM and it maybe a bit unfair to call it Samsung's mess when it is apparently for different hardware, however slight those difference might be. Maybe Im one of the few guys that are grateful for both the devs and for Samsung. :D

I can verify that themes screw some things all the way to hell and back. With out themes everything works fine. As soon as I i flash a theme (I was using gingerfire) I got force closes in about phone and TWLauncher. I reflashed w/out adding a theme and I am (so far...) force lose free.

So when using Eugene's Gingerbread launcher, why do I get a really badly colored google search bar? It's like black, but bordered by a thin strip of white on the outside and the search input area is also white.

And also, is there a reason for lower CPU scores on the benchmarks? Because I'm still getting some slowdowns here and there while typing.

RC4 will be up tomorrow. Will have twlauncher fix, haptic on home, lots of video references removed, fixed KTLO control and few more extras. Will have it fully AOSP themed and next week i will bring Continuum v4 theme to v5 (aka the original Sensation made by me).
[Captivate Android Development] miahsoul:
AOSP = Stock Gingerbread right?

If it is, it'll definitely be greatly appreciated. :D
