I ran CM7 from the first precompiled public nightlies up until 2 days ago. This is leaps and bounds better in terms of performance. I actually forget just how powerful and smooth these phones can be. CM7 has big issues to overcome in terms of closed source drivers and other proprietary code.

Now after running Continuum it feels like I have a brand new phone.

For anyone using or working on CM this is not a shot at any of you. I loved the rom and the fact that people work hard in their free time to get it working on our line of phones so that when sammy decides to stop supporting us we can still enjoy new versions of android.

Thanks for this input, I'll be trying this out shortly.

I actually flashed 0.1.3 then RC3. No problems. Just flash thru Pda on odin
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I just want to point out that if the kernel says 0.1.2 in about phone even though its 0.1.3 (I forgot to update it since it was only a test build)..if it does, then the one in my thread is newer and includes some fixes for sound issues...I recommend updating to it..

So they are not the same (unless icezar updated it)... download the one in my thread

Has anyone gotten touchwiz 4 to sort the app menu alphabetically?
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
Also battery life is much much better, CM7 was maybe 10 hours... here i'm getting upwards of 20+...

It is i would assume just that much more optimized for our device considering the similarities.

In a dream world...

In a dream world, this forum would require those posting to assign a mandatory 'type' to their post of 'Question', 'Answer', or 'Comment'. Those posting an 'Answer' would have to tie it to the 'Question' post being answered, and an automatic FAQ would be created.

People asking the same question as 9,000 others MIGHT first check the FAQ, those that STILL persist in asking the same question over and over could be directed to the FAQ.

Those reading the forum could enable filters to allow us to filter out comments (the 'me too!' and 'It rocks!' type posts) or perhaps the 'Questions' (Could someone post a link to the wallpaper?).

Just dreaming...

Ohh ok my bad I already read that
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I had C5 RC3 already loaded and had installed a few apps when I saw the updated kernel, flashed it with Oden over the RC3 version and so far it's been great. Only issue I see at all with RC3 is the TWlauncher lags bad for me but arclauncher works as do others. Incredible job by everyone that made this possible! :D:D:D:D

Killing Apps

I dont know if this has been adressed already but everytime I open say the browser, if I hit the home button to leave the app running it closes itself. I go back into the app about 20 seconds later and its been closed completely (doesn't even reload the same page, goes back to home). Also when I open task manager it instantly closes the running apps. And it seems this is also happening with ADW EX, about once every hour it has to reload all my homescreens, like it got force closed. Im not running any task killers etc...?

It's as almost the system is preventing any apps from staying in memory for more than a few minutes. It's hard to explain exactly what happens. It's like my phone has no multi-tasking functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Is this flashable from MIUI?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
You know what I had a similar question but I didn't ask. What I ended up doing was doing a master clear via my one-click odin. However, I wanted a REAL clean slate before I flashed RC3, so I cannot answer the question on whether or not it is necessary...but I just FEEL better coming from a completely clean slate.

*EDIT* And the master clear via odin one click went perfectly and didn't mess with any bootloaders or anything etc. It just wiped the internal SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Fighting the charge issue; I might be getting carried away... C5 RC3 performed terribly for me to day. Started with phone charged to 100% this morning, unplugged and battery level fell to 23%. Charged to 100% and reflashed C5 RC3 (ROM Only). I figured that the Kernel was already current. ALL day the phone was Very laggy, several reboot resulted in no change, very laggy.

So I am starting fresh.

Turned off phone, removed SD Card and SIM chip.

Charged the battery to 100%.

Flashed to stock Odin JF6.

Charged to 100%.

Performed master clear.

Charged to 100%.

Loaded ROM to SD Card, turned off phone.

Charged to 100%.

Flashed Talon 1.2 via Odin @ reset unplugged USB, removed battery, rebooted CWM3 and flashed C5 RC3. allowed to boot completely.

Turned off phone.

Charged to 100%.

Flashed Talon 1.3 via Odin. Allowed phone to load completely and charged to 100%.

Turned off phone and Charged to 100%.

Replaced SD Card and SIM chip, rebooted to recovery and wiped battery stats.

I hope this works for the battery issue and that the phone runs at least as fast as it did with Beta 3.

I noticed that with C5 RC3; that when the phone is off and charging, reaches 100% then unplugged that the battery icon remains for a while, and that the phone can not be restarted until the battery icon turns off... It did not do this with Beta 3 and prior. Something must be running to cause this... Might be the battery drain issue? IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I would think what you did is a good extra step however, it is not listed in the OP instructions . Coming from a a Froyo ROM for the furst time, there is a lot of junk and I would think a Master Clear would be recommended.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Did you try the flight mode suggestion? While charging, enable flight mode for about a minute, turn off then see if you have the charge issue.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Flash back to stock then follow the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
The phone performed so poorly today i figure that i'd start fresh. If i still have the charge issue i will try the flight mode step for charging.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Ok. Similar issue here. Have not solved. Is keeping me from running spb. Would load but slowly. When screen times out for awhile, it has to reload and eventually stalls. Processes seem to show it running several times. Also closing audio streams off occasionally. Running L-pro while I sort it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Velshtein:
You might want to make a note in your release or ask icezar that it seems save to flash your kernel over RC3 without having to reflash RC3 after. And yes (for everyone else), RC3 comes with 0.1.2 by default, and flashing the new kernel over it should refresh your About:Phone to 0.1.3. If it doesn't, you've done something wrong.

Actually, hell. Icezar could you put the above in your OP? Might help.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Anyone using TW4 who wants the app drawer sorted alphabetically use this program from the market.

Cezar this is a free app. You may want to include in your next update until TW4 is updated.

[Captivate Android Development] JBLogic:
This rom is buttery smooth. So much nicer than cm7. Havent had any issues yet and battery life seems to be on point.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've had Continuum RC3 for almost 24 hours now. It seems to be working great. The battery life is no worse than it's ever been and GPS is better for me than my last ROM.

My only issue - and it'a a minor one - is that the browser's home screen doesn't work correctly (or at least as I expect it to). It ONLY opens my home screen when I add a tab. If I open the browser after it was killed in the task manager, it always opens the Google page.

If I don't kill the browser, it obviously starts back up where I left off, but if I kill it, it opens Google - which isn't my home page.

That's a pretty minor issue, but I still thought I'd mention it.
[Captivate Android Development] raven2000:
Wow what a absolutely amazing release. Smooth like butter :)

Method 1 was easy even for noob like me!
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
Oh, thank you! BTW, works on TW3 launcher just as well!
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Once you open an instance of the app (browser, XDA, whatever) and hit the hard-key homebutton, clicking on the app icon again loads another instance of the app, from scratch (which is why you saw multiple processes running when you checked).

The way to get back to your "old" instance of the app (with your browser page or previously-opened XDA post) is to long-press the hard-key "home" button. This will bring up the "Recently Used" menu. Press the app icon you want and it will bring up your current process rather than starting a new instance.

This is how I've had to do it forever, but I've had various custom ROMs for going on 6 or 7 months now ... I have no idea of the "stock ROM" behavior differs.
[Captivate Android Development] rattarico:
is anyone having a problem with the phone going black when trying to make a call? I wont respond at all, i can hear the call but they cant hear me
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
That would be a dream... but it will not be implemented if the idea doesnt go up to the mods
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I will take a look at the minimum free memory settings.

Thanks for pointing it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
yes, just swype your finger over the proximity sensor and it should come back up. Is a kernel thing, will be fixed in a while i guess. There will be few weeks until GB kernels are lets say slightly mature and have these small issues fixed
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
I like how you spelled it "Swype"...nice pun :)

I just noticed this the other day. I've been just putting the phone to my face, and when I move it away it shows the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
do you think the googe talk in 2.3.4 with video chat is just apk or built into that version of GB?

Guys, just wanted to thank you all for keeping this project alive through your activity in the thread and as well the donations some of you made!

[Captivate Android Development] roofus:
I am also having some multitasking problems. I am also noticing some very high memory usage. After a cold boot it show I am using ~240 MB of memory.

Also, I am sure this has been explained before as well, but why does it only have 330MB when the phone has 512? What resides on the 82MB?

Other then that, Thank you, icezar1 for the great rom!

Cezar,

considering the issues some people are having with the TW4, would it not be a better idea to include tested and proven TW3 in the Continuum 5.0 final?

Open Astro file manager and go to preferences - enable browser downloads. Gingerbread still can't handle downloads properly

thank you for your quick response and great rom
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Cezar,

After using a different rom (Juwe's) for almost a week, along with both xcals and existzs kernels, I have come to the conclusion that the charging issue is not isolated to Continuum C5. I've had similar charging issues with both roms. I've also noticed spikes in temperature when battery drain is excessive ( 20f in an hour with phone idle and consuming 20% of the battery). Charge drop even occurred with phone turned off.

Planning on flashing RC3 this weekend toreevaluate Cezars changes since 4/24. Will update accordingly.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Its a Gingerbread issue - its just been confirmed according to Cezar
[Captivate Android Development] solinar:
First off. Just changed from CM7 to this, and wow what a difference. Much faster, muuuuch better battery life. I am using the 3500 mAh chinese replacement battery and can go 24 hours of moderate use no problem.

A few small requests, all related to LCD density. I like to use an LCD density of 190ish. At that density:

1) the rotary unlock doesn't render properly (the track ends before the "on" button)

2) The battery percentage indicator is pretty well unreadable. (its awfully small even on 240 dpi).

3) It would be great to have a way to set the # of columns and rows on the homescreen and on the tray to make use of the smaller icons and text from using 190 dpi.

All in all, I am very pleased to have made the change. Thanks a ton for your hard work. It is appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
well... then try a fresh flash and make sure none of the apps are trying to "download" anything to the phone. This is not rom related
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, I know, DAGr8 just had it on his ROM. Samsung just can't do a rom which doesnt have a terrible bug :)
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Maybe I will make a 200 dpi version as many visual things need tweaked to look well.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Does this ROM contain all of the TW4 Samsung widgets?
[Captivate Android Development] anandsamuel:
Just wanted to say... I installed this rom last night... No problems... Everything is perfect... will keep an eye on the battery today to see how it performs...

This rom is fast and smooth as silk.... Awesome work...
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Agreed, it seems to only be the first cal after a reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
No _______
[Captivate Android Development] solinar:
Also, a bug-ish report. The back button seems to be much harder to use than normal. I know its a known hardware issue, but it seems even tougher than normal to use.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You probably already know this but Launcher Pro has a plethora of options. One of them is to set how many rows and columns you have on your homescreens. I also use LCD Density at a setting of 185. The only display issue I have is noti pull down is a little off and some apps don't fill the sreensize.
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
Please do, I think that at 240 dpi everything is just too large. I personally use 209 dpi, but if you do a rom or theme with the dialer and calendar etc fixed I'd be really greatfull.

I also use 5 columns in the launcher and app drawer with the lower dpi, I'm using Launcher Pro
[Captivate Android Development] xoppaw:
does anyone know if the horizontal dialer can be pulled from this and used on non-gingerbread devices? i have been looking for a horizontal dialer that looks good, dialerone just isn't cutting it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I am running CM7 on my primary phone and this on my backup phone which is mostly used for flashing roms and testing. In my opinion CM7 is working a little smoother. I am liking this rom though and will continue with it. The things I have noticed about this rom so far (rc3 and newest talon) is that I am getting some lag or something, for example as I am typing this I can feel the haptic feedback as I push the letters but sometimes the typing at top is like frozen and I have typed 2-3 other letters and then all of a sudden it catches up with all the correct letters typed.

As far as CM7 newest nightlies since jvb came out and they used some of the closed source Samsung stuff to get it working it is by far not a pre beta or beta in my eyes. It will be considered so as long as it is not merged with mainline.

As far as this rom I was on rc2 for a day or two then flashed rc3 yesterday, I have not yet used the app to apply the ext4? Yet though. So I still have some testing to do on this. It is nice to have a full 5MP camera and 720P video recorder though. (That is the only real thing I miss with CM7). I am not trying to judge apples with oranges here with the different roms so don't flame me, just giving my opinion for the question asked. Look forward to this rom just getting better and better.

( Since I have installed this basically I have been using my captivated CM7 on day, switching the sim card into the second Cappy with continuum to use the next day. Previously I had the kb1 rom for testing on my second Cappy and it only got used about 1 day a week or two just for comparison.

This is the smoothest ROM I have used on my Captivate to date! I have yet to find a problem or bug with it. Excellent work! BTW the Xperia launcher is gorgeous, great addition.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Really liking this ROM. Only problem I am having is Andriod OS is using too much battery. It's #2 user in osmonitor and this has never been the case until RC3 on my phone.

I have reflashed, via ODIN, the latest talon kernel and also cleared dalvik cache. Any ideas what else I could do or if others are having this? I have disabled autorotate as that uses more battery (not sure if it impacts this or not).

The only impact so far has been it is reducing my battery life. Im on RC3, latest Pauldiddy theme, latest talon kernel, jk4 modem. In real world testing, no other modem does as well in low signal areas where I live.

Flashed RC3 over B3 no issues to report. battery charged all night and stayed there upon release of the cable. I did think b3 was a tad "smoother" though....hmmmm. CM who?
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
Can someone running this ROM (RC3 & talon kernel)and who's used Google Maps apps please check their battery usage? According to my battery usage, google maps is using an excessive amount of battery, even if I'm not using the app. It's at the top of the list for battery use, even exceeding display and it's killing my battery. I dropped from full battery to 75 in less than 2 hours yesterday with no use except to periodically look at the battery level. I've frozen google maps in TB to stop it, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I don't recall this happening in any of the FROYO ROMS. I even wiped and reflashed both the ROM and kernel to make sure and it's still happening. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
Can you be more specific? Which files did you copy?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnb:
anyone else getting horrible browser performance.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
My battery life has been terrible with each version of V5 I have tried. I am using about 10% per hour with minimal use. Froyo ROM were using about 4% per hour. Same app load and very similar usage.
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
Can you check your "battery use" under "about phone" and tell me what's listed there as your top battery users? Thanks. If it wasn't for the Google Maps drinking my battery, I think it would be OK.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Just have one basic question. Please don't be too defensive with the reply. People who have issues with this ROM (like, poor browser performance, battery drain, random shutdowns etc etc) are all the ones who followed the installation instruction steps thoroughly (otherwise they would be sitting on a hard bricked device) . But, still they have annoying issues. Is it happeneing because it is still a RC? Or Is it happening because something went wrong in the installation steps?

[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
I followed the install instructions perfectly. I even wiped/reflashed to make sure after the problem started the first time. My issue as far as battery drain appears to be a rogue app which is diplaying issues I've never had happen in other ROMS. I haven't had the problem of battery drop immediately after unplugging or even while plugged in. I haven't had any browser issues or shutdown issues either. Other than Google Maps flipping out, I like this ROM/kernel a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] VanThePimpMan:
I know this is a stretch, but I still want to ask. Is anyone else experiencing worse reception after flashing RC3? Ever since flashing RC3 I have been getting worse reception in areas I know have better reception. I'm using TDVJP9 and the newest Talon kernel. I have tried flashing different modems, all with the same results, if not worse.
