I don't know if that video is up to date. I used it to download v5 RC3, and after I loaded the "tar" file, my phone rebooted completely and not to recovery. So I shut down used the new 2 button to recovery and then flashed the kernel and ROM file, but it worked, and was quick and smooth.

generally I'm a launcher pro user too, it's just tw4 feels much more polished and smooth (when it's not being buggy that is)

I'm very impressed with the battery life on this rom

Running serendipity before I probably got a bit over 10 hours of use under heavy load and about 16 under moderate use.

but now I'm getting close to 15 hours with heavy use and 20+ with moderate use

GREAT JOB ON THE ROM!

I flashed 5.2 yesterday and lots of gapps, core, framework and email fcs. Not sure if this was due to a bad flash or I did something wrong. Also after running tibu and rebooting, my mms.apk stopped working. Could this be due to me restoring all apps + data (not system). I was previously on miui and got similar problems and fixed it by only restoring missing apps and data. Could that be the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
yes it is but i havent found away to. People should make an unlocked version of the tegra games the cappy has all the capppbiltes and more to meet the terga graphics they just lock the apps for marketing resons

icezar said the TW4 was built for dual-core phone. So it will consume more resources than other launcher designed for single core phones. I think it is hard to overcome bloat software... HE Launcher worked great and I don't have any desire to experiment.

That could be it. I ran Ti Bu and restored only the missing apps and data, and I've had no problems.

My battery is still st 38% after 12 hours, and that's even after succombing to my new addiction, Words With Friends, which is a real battery eater. If I had not looked at that today, I'd be nearer to 50% remaining.

Definitely the LAG problem is the KERNEL. Before any "official" build I didn't have lag. Now I'm running 5.2, I changed the Kernel to the Xcal's kernel and the LAG is gone!!! :D

Also you can try Talon .1.3 or .1.4

Just pull build.prop from /system/ then edit it to your needs then push it back to /system/ using adb shell or a root terminal.

It can be edited in a standard text editor as the file is written in plain English.

Pull your battery for a couple minutes then put it back in. Should clear it up. There's a thread somewhere about this but I can't remember where.

Oldskool did you wipe battery stats in cwm recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
If people dont report problems to ME (either in MY thread or channel) I can't fix them if I don't know about them...I've seen issues posted in every thread, except mine...I don't read through every thread, so if anyone has any kernel related issues, please post them in my thread and not rom threads..or they will be missed and not fixed.

As for lag issue, I've ran Perception and SubPression both today, and neither one has any kind of lag...so the kernel itself alone is not causing it or it would be happening with every rom

Maybe... But with the kernel's change I notice more stability and NO LAG.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Maybe a combination of both, but the kernel definitely played a role. Even though 5.2 was smoother for me than 5.1, I flashed an older hourly build of Talon and immediately, the phone is much more responsive (things scroll smoother, apps load quicker, and no more 20-second freezes/slowdowns) and I have a lot more free RAM. Not sure about some of the other media and headset issues people were mentioning though.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I don't believe it is just kernel change. if it is icezar would just post a simple instruction to go back to older kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
I concur

7890
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
A simple test would be to flash back to an older kernel yourself. The hourly builds of TalonDEV are available in CWM3 packages. Your results may vary, but Talonhourly-05-01-11_1232-captivate.zip (mentioned by someone in the hourlies thread, a pre-0.1.5 kernel) has dramatically improved performance in 5.2 on my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
im having problems unlocking launcherpro plus via the unlock code on this rom..

on the launcher pro 'help desk' it states:

"If you succesfully enter your unlock code but after the restart you still have no access to LauncherPro Plus features you may be experiencing an issue related to the latest Samsung update for Galaxy S users. Some users of Darky's ROM have also experienced this problem.

You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher

If you are not rooted, a factory reset should work. Remember to perform a backup prior to the reset to keep your settings."

i deleted the file and still doesnt work...

any one got any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Regarding the lag issue, I'm going to wait until Cezar comes out with his updated fix. He said he knows what the issue is and based on experience with his ROMs, I believe him.

However, I am wondering... :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
The text you posted says to try a factory reset, have you tried that yet?

not yet.. does a factory reset get rid off all your apps and everything.

[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
YES, it will.
[Captivate Android Development] mrcpu:
It's possible that it's not the kernal itself, but perhaps interface problems between the kernal and the userland stuff.

All I know is that when I first did 5.1 with 0.1.5, It lagged, Ii rebooted, it lagged, tried everything I could think of, it lagged, replaced kernal with 0.1.4, and shazam, no problems as soon as I rebooted.

In any case, 5.2 is running well for me, except for teh SMS wipe.

I had had problems flashing kernels with clockwork mod 3 that I have been using all along, wouldn't work. So I downloaded Rom Manager from the market and installed clockwork mod for the i9000 and now I can flash kernels with clockwork. I have attached a copy if you want it. It is version 2.5. Also is a copy of Talon 1.5 kernel for clockwork that flashes with this. I just inserted the kernel in a copy of xcalibers clockwork flash. I wish exists would post clockwork flash kernels on his post along with odin.

Nighmare over. I could flash G12 but every time I flashed Continuum the dang phone wouldn't boot and no longer recognized anything on rom. Something got messed up, I flashed to stock using 1 click and booted up ok. Relashed the bootloaders and installed Continuum again. No boot. So I found a copy using odin and a pit file and repartitioned. phone wouldn't boot, but it did repartition. Installed 1 click back to stock again and booted ok. Then reflashed the bootloaders and flashed Continuum again and works great. I think it might have either something to do with ext4 or CM7 that I once had on this phone? What a pain, but a learning experience none the less. So if anyone else has this problem, maybe you can use my worry for your gain.

Is it as easy to answer as I think it is? It's because v5.2 is a non-wipe isn't it?

5.3 idea- no clock in notification bar option
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
CWM3 doesn't support ammend, only Edify, which is why you'll have problems with a lot of ZIP files using ammend. There is a program that converts ammend scripts to Edify scripts if fed the ZIP file. Or you can just take a CWM3-compatible kernel ZIP and swap out the zImage with the kernel you want. I don't recommend using SGS Kernel Flasher.

I switched to GO Launcher from LauncherPro because I wanted something new for Gingerbread, and I like it so far. Seems like a mix of ADW and LauncherPro, with a different AppDrawer and without LP widgets. I do like some of the options and transitions it shares with GO SMS though, and I like using folders to organize my homescreens.

I can get to download mode either through my super power switch or vol up vol down usb. BUT the problem is odin3 one click downloader will not pick my phone up when it is in download mode to flash back to stock. I have tried 2 different known working usb cables, 3 known working usb ports, tried stating odin before dl mode, after, nothing works it will not pick up my phone. Figuring this was a simple driver issue since they are twitchy i have a dual boot system with grub so i run my linux since it does not need drivers. Yep you guessed it same thing. I have looked everywhere for an answer but can not find one, most people can not get into boot mode and i can and it seems that if you can get into dl mode odin just picks right up for everyone else.

P.S. icezar did an excellent job writing the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
What are your concerns with Kernel Flasher? I've used it many times successfully on both froyo and gb.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Odin and Kernel Flasher flash the zImage differently, with Odin writing on bml8 instead of just bml7. I have no idea what difference that will make, but there is a difference, and existz himself does not recommend using the Kernel Flasher (you can find these posts with a search). That combined with numerous instances of failures using the app in Froyo I have seen on these forums (that were resolved by using CWM or Odin) push me to avoid it if Odin/Heimdall is available. If you like the convenience and it gives you no problems, then continue using it until it does, since a brick is unlikely (just flashing a kernel with Odin should clear up a bad kernel flash).
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
+1.

icezar discussed this a while ago.
[Captivate Android Development] little8020:
I have used the kernel flasher to flash the last 3 talon kernels with no problems but you never know.

Also there have been quite a few people brick with odin so either way is technically risky
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Always true. Although the state of an Android phone seems to change drastically with all sorts of flashing (ie. what worked one boot may not work the next), if Odin was working it shouldn't suddenly stop working. CWM (while risk still exists) is preferable to either of the alternatives. /offtopic
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I believe that the instructions are designed to make sure of the same operating conditions. If one deviates and there is an issue, it will be harder to reproduce and diagnose the issue.

I always read OP and follow exact instructions. So far I have not experiencing any issue and this is my 4th ROM flashed. I am quite happy with RC3 and have no plan to flash 5.2 even though I downloaded and stored the images on my SD card.

[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I saw a few people went to GR-x and come back. Personally I have no desire to jump around with different ROMs... I am more interested in a stable ROM for daily driver. I went here from Paragon because the Paragon's developer quit a couple months ago and I feel icezar is very responsive.

Others can give their opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
GR-12 seems to be trying to replicate the look and feel of the GSII. I'm on Continuum because I like the bugfix/update path and I feel more comfortable basing my own tweaks and modifications on it.
[Captivate Android Development] DoritosMan:
Is there any major difference that makes this ROM better than GR-x
