Do any of you know if you can customize the apps in the desk home app

I know there are alternatives but i like how it works

If not do ya'll know any alternatives that are like it, not something that comes with an alarm clock but a stand alone app that you can customize the app links in it and can keep the screen on too

google Music Beta Crashing...

hi My google Music Beta app force closes on me, any idea what to do ,or if it's happening to others ? thx !
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the Google Music Beta doesn't work on any of the ROMs that are based on Samsung's 2.3.3 builds.

Nothing to do about it unless you want to flash a 2.2 ROM or CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
FWIW... on one of the earlier Talon builds (V6?) I discovered that for my TuneIn Radio app, if I streamed ACC streams, it would stutter/hang fairly frequently. But if I chose an MP3 stream, it was fine. Haven't tried an ACC stream on the latest stuff though.

i second this. i would also love to have lockscreen music controls. Those 2 features were my favorite part of CM7. the lockscreen music controls on CM7 worked with any music player that i tried (though i mostly use the stock music player and pandora).

I would like to see a "no clock" option for the notification bar. I use to use JS3 No Clock on Paragon and loved it. Otherwise this ROM is rockin'

Maybe someone can provide a working update zip. To make Twiz optional.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
I've seen several people share this opinion. I don't get the hate for the clock in the status bar, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
It just seems to kind of defeat the purpose of a clock widget...just personal opinion...quirk, or whatever...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
That's true. I also use a widget on my main homescreen, but I like to have the clock up top when I'm on other screens. An option is always nice though. The more we can customize the better.

I have a clock widget so I can see the time from a distance if I'm on my default home screen. However, I like having the mini clock in the notification bar so I can see it all the time in other screens and apps.

I have no problem with it being an option for those who want it, but I'd hate to see the clock disappear by default like some ROMs have done in the past.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
I like having my clock up there too. Just don't make it go away by default. :)

+1. I also only turn on wifi, BT, GPS when needed. No issue so far with 5.5 running RFS. Early on with ext4, I had random reboot. Decided to switch to RFS because this is what icezar ran.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I experienced the exact upshot with rfs/ext4. Started on rfs b/c I started clean from jf6. Bt and wifi kept causing problems. Converted to ext4, problem disappeared.

GPS discoveries

I have now gone through the complete thread on GPS file issues with the Captivate - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941

It seems that in gingerbread, they have initiated new locations for the various necessary items (files tend to be in system/vendor/bin, not system/bin/gpsd). So I looked back at the Adams gps fix I've been touting, and it places files in directories that the phone on gingerbread probably shouldn't even be looking at. So I manually deleted the Adams update.

My gps went away. Gone. One satellite. Maybe after 10 minutes (less after the first time) I'd get an "insta-lock", and then there would be nothing - no lock, but satellites in view - forever after. So I slowly added back the Adams fix. When I got to restoring the "library" (guessing) files (system/bin/gpsd/*.0), everything came back. Those are the exact same files as in mosaic, as in continuum (but in the system/vendor/bin directory). But changing the location all of a sudden allowed me to lock and track.

For those of you who want to hack your phone/rom/setup in the smallest possible way, just copy those eight *.0 files to /system/bin/gpsd (probably don't want to duplicate the "glgps_samsungJupiter" file - supposed to be the glgps daemon (now "gpsd"), which appears to actually be functional from the /system/vendor/bin directory (I assume so, or else I don't think we'd have any gps functionality).

For development, it seems that something in the phone gps implementation in Continuum (and probably the other I9000 roms too) is still pointing back to the old directory structure. It seems hard to believe this is phone-build related.
[Captivate Android Development] cowboi08:
Ok I've searched and no one has mentioned this yet. I have a stand alone charger so I have 4 batteries that I swap with so I never actually plug my phone in. The last two times I've swapped the phone has some how charged itself. It would say I have 30% left when I checked and twenty min later I'd turn the screen on to check again it would say 33% or 34% . Even looking at the battery graph it shows that the percentage was going up when phone was off. I have wiped battery stats each time as it shows about 14hrs on each battery with moderate use. Any clue to why this is happening.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkeligos:
Alright I'm running 5.4 with Talon 1.7 and I can't get the USB to connect so I can share files. I have tried unchecking USB debugging and checking USB debugging. Is there any simple fix so I can get my files off of this phone?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
This is happening because we are in the post Rapture period, when the dead shall rise.

[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I don't know how everyone else's GPS experience has been but I am running Continuum 5.5 w/Talon 1.7 and my gps is the best it has ever been. Back on Froyo I could get fast locks with Serendipity and Phoenix rom but if I was driving as soon as I hit anything over 40mph I would lose lock until I slowed down to around 35mph. With Continuum 5.5 once I get a lock it sticks and navigation actually works as well or better than my co-workers who have Droid X's.
[Captivate Android Development] haydentech:
Interesting, because I never noticed any lagging *until* I went to gingerbread with Continuum 5.4.1. I came from a froyo rom with lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
What message are you getting on your computer? Is it simply not recognizing your phohe? I had the same thing happen with the setup you have and the two things I did right before I got it to work was the following.

When the comptuer recoginzed the phone as an unknown device I went in and manually selected the correct driver for my phone. I also converted the file system from RFS to EXT4, although I have no idea how that could help it didnt work until I did that. Probably just timing but either way thats what I did and now mine works.

To cover some basics otherwise, you are using one of the main USB ports on your computer correct? Your also not using a cheap USB cable right? Also, is your phone in mass storage mode or keis or what?
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Ok, i lol'd.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
On Froyo I had great GPS, on GB my GPS sucks in comparison for all versions I have ran. I have applied Adams fix as suggested here, will see but so far doesnt look any better to me.
[Captivate Android Development] toy028:
My best experience so far on 5.4.1 is using RFS and Xcals kernal. Im still testing Talon kernals but stability for me is RFS and Xcals 1.2 no voodooo lagfix kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Not sure who suggested it, but unless it's been updated for GB, it won't do anything. It will likely make it worse. Files are in different locations on GB than Froyo or Eclair
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
My GPS has always been the same frankly, on stock Rogers, Cognition and now Continuum. Slow to lock, often 1-2 minutes, but one locked, very accurate and doesn't lose lock, even at high speeds.

All in all, I'm satisfied. I don't use it all the time. I do wish I could speed up my lock. On my old HTC legend it was ridiculously fast. But at least it gets there eventually. If I didn't have experience with my old HTC, I wouldn't complain about this GPS at all.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
This may be a dumb question but im very curious. Are our Captivates going to be NFC capable? I know its a feature of Gingerbread but does it require hardware that is not on our Cappys?
[Captivate Android Development] vercro:
The captivate doesn't have the required NFC hardware, so no it's not capable.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
NFC requires a special antenna, and a special chip. We don't have it, so we won't ever get NFC, unless we get a compatible add on accessory like this one:

ne secret to gettin this to boot into CWM orange? I installed the rom then rebooted into CWM as directions stated and im still green, runnin captivate i897 please someone help me wanna try this rom!
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Never have any issue with USB.

When you connect USB to phone, you should get a message on the notification screen "USB connected"; tap on it and you will get a screen with "Connect storage to PC". Tap on it and you should be connected and up to 2 pop-ups (internal SD and external SD if any) show on PC choose Open folder to view files.

If this does not work then I have no clue what happens to your set up. Time to reinstall drivers on PC.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
From the OP

in case you have CWM2 (green text usually), not to be forced to flash Talon kernel via ODIN, you may flash the ROM in this order:

- from CWM2, flash the ROM

- after installation, go to advanced - reboot in recovery (or pull out the battery and reboot in recovery using the keys combo)

- now you should have CWM3, install the ROM again and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Would you do me a favor, and confirm that you have no files in /system/bin/gpsd (or no such directory)?
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
That was my post, oh, about 20 back. But I found that a part of the fix was essential for me getting any tracking lock (a lock past the initial fix). It's an astounding difference, especially considering - as you say - the files in the Adams fix are placed in a location that shouldn't be being accessed for gingerbread GPS.

There are times when you are speaking about qualitative changes - "I get less static with X modem". Well, this change, for me, is night and day. I've gone back and forth. Delete the files in the (shouldn't be accessed) /system/bin/gpsd directory -> lots of gray bars in GPS Test, but no lock. Copy *.0 files to that directory (from the directory that they are supposed to be in) -> lots of yellow and green bars in GPS test, with nearly continuous indoor lock. Repeat... Same pattern.

Perhaps I have a faulty /system/vendor/bin/gpsd (gps daemon) that is looking in the wrong place??
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
My experience is the same as kennonk, I have no such directory.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
During Q&A after the announcement, Google mentioned that they will have NFC stickers you can place on your phone if it does not have NFC hardware. Not sure how it will work but it looks like anyone will be able to use it even if you don't have the internal hardware.

EDIT: Found an article mentioning this: http://phandroid.com/2011/05/26/no-nfc-no-problem-google-to-issue-nfc-sticker-for-wallet-services/
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thanks for responding. I have been fortunate to have good GPS on the phones I have had. Had a true brick a whie back and got an 1103 build date that has good (not stellar) GPS even on stock. If you are doing investigative work as far as file placement and such, you may want to start a thread about it to share your work. The entire community needs help with GPS and you could lend a needed helping hand.
[Captivate Android Development] Krynn!:
runaway rild

I'm having a problem with /system/bin/rild eating up huge amounts of CPU time and causing massive lag on my phone.

Every now and then, upon boot, rild will start going nuts and hammering away at the CPU, holding it up near 100%. This, of course, results in massive lag and a huge drain on the battery.

Sometimes rebooting will fix this, but I've found it more effective to run 'pkill -9 rild', then watch the process. Sometimes it may take killing rild 3 or 4 times before it settles down. Once it settles down, it's fine until I reboot the phone, at which it may or may not go nuts again.

I've noticed this only on Continuum v5.5 (not on v5.4.1). I've seen it on a fresh install, and upgrading to Talon 0.1.7 test 17r2, 18, or 19 hasn't helped any.

I was hoping it was just my phone, but I've seen it happen to another captivate as well. On the other hand, I haven't seen any mention of it here yet.

I'd like to try and fix this, but I've no idea of where to go from here.... any suggestions?

FYI - BlueTooth Options screen

I recently was flashing a new kernel that didn't go well and I had to reflash C5.5. I got everything setup like before except bluetooth wasn't working. When I would start my car (with a bluetooth receiver), I would see an indication that bluetooth connected and hear one beep from the car (instead of two). I found that I could press a button on the receiver which would initiate a voice dial on my phone but I couldn't play any audio.

I kept looking on the phone for options. I eventually found that if I long-pressed the "FlexSmart-x2" under bluetooth devices, it had connect and unpair which I remembered, but there was also an "options" entry. That showed a screen where Phone was checked but Media was not....

Personally, I had never even seen that screen so I don't know how it got changed. :confused: I do have kids that like to play games on my phone though...:rolleyes:

Anyway, this is probably a well known fact to most but just an FYI in case it helps anyone else.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Was the phone in download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Ive seen that before with my bluetooth headphones sometimes it will just forget that media and audio should be checked and uncheck one or the other. Don't think its a rom thing probably just a fluke thing cause i think the last time i saw it was in froyo before gb.
[Captivate Android Development] joeyac02:
doh lol thats why am I supposed to have phone boot loader update checked?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I don't think so, but if you are not in download mode, odin won't work.

Hey guys.

A quick noobi question.

I installed CM7 a while back and because of enormous amounts of FCs I ODINed back to stock.

now to install this ROM, do I have t i9000 bootloader as my secondary or not?

Meaning do I have to install the icezar's package with bootloaders?

Thanx ppl.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Yes, install the version with bootloaders. CM7 is completely different than this.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
You do not have the correct bootloaders. You will need to use the install package with bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
You need the new Bootloaders as I understand it.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
In theory, any JVB theme from the i9000 or the captivate forums SHOULD work. I know SensatioN works because I am using that one.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Swype is included with this ROM, works fine. You need a JVB theme to work on this.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
In a reply to one of my Post it was stated "there is a jf6 .tar for full odin around somewhere that is "safe" and will not break the 3button fix because it doesnt flash bootloaders". Does anyone know where this file can be found?

I can find the odin 1 click that has the bootloader that we don't want. Here It says:

Is this correct? Can someone shed a bit more light on this? All of the info is hard to put together.

3G (cellular data) question

I searched the thread, but I cannot find any evidence that anyone has had this issue:

Full disclosure: I'm using TalonDev kernel. I've had no problems with Continuum 5.5 except this: whenever I try to turn on cellular data, it seems to turn on, but it will rapidly shift between H and 3G and I will often see this message:

"This feature does not support the current system version."

Now I think the switching between H and 3G is not that big a deal, probably just the coverage in my area. And it actually is pulling down data, so that's good too. But I can't for the life of me figure out what "feature" is not supported, that message will pop up fairly randomly, not just when I'm using an application that accesses cellular data.

Any thoughts?
