Im on Continuum 5b2 with G#8, no FC when going into About Phone. No FC anywhere, actually. :P
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
i thought u meant going to stock before flashing gb bootloaders...i would like to know this also then...is there any 2.1/2.2 firmwares that have bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
i have flashed back to stock suuccessfuly after flashing the new bootloaders. i used odin oneclick and it worked fine. however do not use the odin with the 3 button fix there have been reports of bricked phones with this version because it only flashes part of the old bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
+1 that for Build 1010 phones up. I dont care much because the current set up I have is great. But what should I do if I were to want to go back to stock and arent Build 1010 phones not supposed to use One Click?

Ive always have used this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

But will that still work with the JVB bootloaders? If not if I were to try the One Click and I get the typical problem people talk (Build 1010+) about when after a One Click flash you get the AT&T screen and then black screen, could I just use a jig and then use this method above to flash to stock, since technically the bootloaders successfuly flashed?
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
Anyone know how to calibrate orientation other than in the settings app?
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Spin your phone on every axis. The order doesn't really matter.. I usually do two rotations on the x, two on the y, two on the z then point it North and compare it to my hiking compass to see how close it came. It usually calibrates to +-2 degrees.
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
I've done the one click with my phone and soft bricked it (1009)...a jig fixed it...the only way you would get back to stock is the jh2 method...there is no reason something that didn't work in the past will work now...anyway...it will work without bricking you because it doesn't have bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
So when I flash to stock with the JH2 method my bootanimation and the ways of getting into download mode and recovery will just be messed up? Besides that Ill be able to go stock?

Id assume that would be correct and I hope that would be correct as well : D, can anyone else confirm this though? hahah
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
I dont understand where do I do this?
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
With your hands waving it in the air... really :)

Compass will calibrate if you wave the phone in a figure 8 in the air.
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
It still seems to not be working.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
Go into google maps. On the top right is the button for "my location". Hit that twice and the compass will come out. If you haven't calibrated it, it will prompt you to wave the phone in a figure 8 pattern to calibarate. Also, under your display options, in settings, there is a horizontal calibration down towards the bottom.
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
It didnt tell me to wave my phone and I have also tried the horizontal calibration but when I try to calibrate it the circle moves somewhere else.
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
um...i haven't tried it but from what i have heard (take this with a grain of salt until more ppl attempt)...all that changes is the key combos to go to download/recovery...it will still be on the gb ones in froyo/eclair...i don't think the recovery/boot animation bugs occur in froyo/eclair with gb bootloaders..im hoping that someone can validate this for me...remember GRAIN OF SALT for now...
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Anywhere that accesses the magnetic compass. Try downloading a compass app. I think there's also something in google maps that tells you to do a 'figure 8' to calibrate it. You can use that opportunity to just spin the phone across the x,y,z.

You can also dial '*#0*#' and press the 'sensors' button, and do it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Having the same issues. Was wondering myself. Idk if its the rom or the kernel. Hope someone finds a fix...rather annoying
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
What rom are you using? Also, wonder if it could be some incompatibility between rom and modem firmware? I don't have the issue and I'm using the stock JVB rom with a few modifications, JVK modem.
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
Just did the image test where all the sensors are and the only time the photo is not correct is when I have the phone held up right.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Anyone have a mirror site for the newest download? For some reason it says the site is unavailable.

Continuum5 w/ this kernel & JP9 modem
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
My phone has not reboot once since the release of this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Try flashing the JKV modem and see if it fixes it. If not, I'd suspect a problem with Continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It very well could be an app.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Sounds right.. I as well have had absolutely no problem either. I had a FC on about screen but i factory reset and restored everything again and that was it. The rom is smooth with no issues on my end. On idle it seems to be great actually
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Thanks guys. Will try the advice.

I had a reboot tonight during a call. I am on C5b2 with reorient kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I am running Continuum v5, no issue here.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
The fc on the about phone is reportedly related to 3rd party keyboards on c5.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Anyone have a problem with random shutdowns? I am not even sure it is kernel related, but I thought I'd throw it out here.

I went to bed last night with it unplugged, and I woke up to a powered down phone. Battery was at 87% when I powered it on, so that eliminates battery drain.

Tried the new modem, no go. Have noticed if I turn my data off it doesn't do it. It only does it if im texting for some reason. The only apps I've installed are xda, facebook, androzip.
[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Stock I9000 recovery has the button mapping issues which makes it useless for us. I actually got stuck in recovery at one point.

I replaced it with the CWM recovery, but it is still not fully implemented yet.

Btw, I recommend the fugu root kernel to get root access.

[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Don't need to flash stock, but do a factory reset.

Only reason boot loaders are dangerous is a bad flash is a lot harder to recover from.

[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
xcal man freaking thumbs up on this one. As always, You da man! And i was wondering, am i just not seeing this right, or did you link to the GIT for the Froyo reorient source??
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
quote from the link in your EDIT
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright thanks, but a bad flash can ultimately be recovered by a jig im assuming? And there is two options on the website which did you flash? With pit and repartition? Or without PIT and without Repartition?

Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Good catch, I updated the link to point to the correct repo. I should have paid more attention when copying the post.

[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Since ive never personally seen a case of someone bricking their phone due to a bad bootloader flash, is a jig rendered useless in such a situation(I have an awesome homemade jig that i soldered up and put in a plastic tiny case that i would like to continue to be able to use for any situation hah)? and once i flash a gingerbread bootloader, theres no problem reflashing back to 2.2.1 or 2.2 with odin correct?

EDIT:Also hows it goin out there guys? really curious to hear some feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
xcal, just flashed your kernel with the 2.2 sbl, works fine. Doesn't look like the new one is necessary.

Edit: scratch that, I think you need the new sbl to be able to boot into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I would also like to know this? Is a bad flash with bootloaders recoverable with a good jig still? And flashing back should be no problem correct?

Thanks again.

And did any one who has flashed this flash this WITH PIT and Repartition or WITHOUT PIT and Repartition??
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
It's hard, but it is possible to hard brick while flashing a bootloader (trust me, I've done it before). If Odin crashes or you disconnect at just the right time, you're toast. The chances are one in a million if you're careful enough.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I have run JV1 and always have been able to go back to stock via a homemade jig. Just glad now to have a better method of handling rotation and buttons with out doing the 3 tricks. Edit key file, smart rotate app and head set app.

This has been my experience. Not sure if anyone elses.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
If you botch it while flashing sbl, a jig won't do you any good. Your only option will be flashing a new sbl by removing the motherboard and flashing via JTAG, or mailing it to Samsung.

Has anyone else's froze up at the boot screen?
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
I've been getting random reboots on all of the JVB roms I've tried. I think I finally narrowed it down. Whenever I have auto rotate on and I turn off the screen while its on landscape it would reboot. Try it out and let me know if u guys have it aswell
[Captivate Android Development] nuwayman:
Just tried and no reboot. What rom you use? I'm using debus rom from i9000 section and have xcal latest kernal. Everything is running great. Had some other issues at the beginning but worked threw them.
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
Tried on continuum5 and apex6

Ill try debus rom after
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No reboot... Works fine
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Think your on to it for the people with those issues......just read your post and layed the phone flat in landscape mode then hit power to shut off screen and all was fine. Then just touched the power to turn on screen, unlocked it and as it sat in landscape with this app loaded up it then all of a suddon switched to android logo and then reloaded.

And i just did it again.
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
And to be honest i think another factor is it laying flat in landscape, not just landscape....i am typing this in landscape but no reboot when its at an angle in my hands.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
You guys may want to reflash the kernel and/or rom. I tried duplicating it how you said, but no problems at all. Tried it several times.
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Thanks.......good to know it's not everyone.

Edit: I tested it and found when I am not in landscape and push power I get my lock screen but in landscape I dont get the lock screen when i turn on screen...10 seconds after I turn on screen in ladscape it goes to the android logo.....reflashing soon.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
+1

except I don't even have to touch the power button second time and do an unlock. A few seconds after my screen goes off, phone reboots automatically.

Edit :

1. Also there is no boot up sound when phone reboots.

2. A weird thing happened, I got a call when I was trying this again, and then suddenly the phone automatically changed to speaker phone and I got the android logo. I could still talk while the android logo was there, so it is not exactly rebooting. Atleast some processes run in background while android logo is displayed.
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
I have yet to find a Gingerbread Rom/Kernel that when my phone is in the Samsung car dock the screen stays on. Most Froyo Rom's worked but not all. This works without having the actual Dock software popping up on the screen.

I really miss his feature as I hate seeing a black screen.....
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
i'm getting the same "reboot" issues.. although i too don't think its actually rebooting. Can someone post the previous version of this kernel. i didn't have these problems before the reorientation fix.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Are you having issues even when you turn off auto rotation?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
What lockscreen are you guys using? Cezar said there is an issue with the AOSP lockscreen. I use rotary and haven't had this happen yet.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:

[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Yup.. you win ;)
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Even the Stay Awake Widget doesn't help. The phone knows it is in dock mode, but for some reason doesn't equate that to AC power, so you cannot trip the screen to stay on in the normal way.

I use Tasker to change the screen timeout to an hour while it is connected to the BT of my car.
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
I haven't had any issues, but I am running the stock JVB from Samsung with this kernel. Some issues may be from custom ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] xidium:
I agree thanks for the awesome kernel.

As far as the Debus G1 rom though.. I haven't had a problem with any rom, but I loaded that one today and got reboots like crazy... Maybe it was just me. I used the JP9 modem FWIW.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Switch pro widget has a widget that is supposed to keep the screen on forever too. I haven't tested it myself though.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
Why not just go into settings/development and change it to keep screen awake while charging?

[Captivate Android Development] VinceG:
Has anyone else noticed their phone getting warmer than usual in the top portion of the phone, or is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] cbalt:
He says in the first post

What is out of scope:

-Overclocked kernel, I personally have not seen a need to change the clock speed.
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
Doesn't work. I believe this only works on AC power?
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
As I noted in my text, it does not realize it is charging when it is doing so through a dock.

EDIT- No, it works with AC or USB power... just not on 2.3.3 when in a dock. It DOES charge in the dock, but does not notice that it is charging.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
you would think that a rom "developer" would have read the OP, huh?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Yeah, the op states that xcal will not be adding o/c support. If you are interested in an o/c ginger kernel, keep an eye on existz, he is currently working on an oc/uv ginger kernel. He grabbed xcal's 1.0 source and is working on adding features similar to his Onix froyo kernel.

A huge shoutout to xcal, cuz without him, captivate owners would have nothing!!!

ROM: Cognition v4.3

Kernel: Onix 2.0.4, Voodoo Sound v7, Voodoo Color, lagfix

Modem: I9000 tljl3

[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Seems to be something that changed in gingerbread. CM7 had/has the same problem.

I'll probably update the DockSoundRedirector app to take care of this. I should be able to tell the phone to keep the screen on.
[Captivate Android Development] blongs:
I don't have this problem at all. when phone inserted into car dock it goes right to car mode automatically and the screen never shuts off. It might actually be car mode that keeps it awake, you might check and make sure you have this.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
But reading is haaaaaaaard.

OC/UV is a giant waste of time anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Google's Car home 2.2.1 does keep the screen on. I find it a poor replacement for a modified home screen in landscape mode for when in the car... specifically, where the mount it, I cannot see the car's clock (and the clock in the notification bar is too small to see at that range). If you could have one of the Car Home buttons replaced with an ACTUAL clock, instead of a link to a clock, I would use that. But as it is, the other car homes I do not car for. Screen #1 in landscape :).

Good news that Xcal thinks he can solve it. I noticed it first with CM... just an annoyance, and now that I have tasker on the job, it doesn't come up anymore.

Just as an incidental side note Xcaliburinhand... do you see any reason why the Samsung Fascinate guys cannot get a re-oriented kernel for their devices to run i9000? Not asking YOU to do it, but is the reason they have never been able to do this because they lack someone like you to do it? Or are Verizon devices inherently too different? I am driving my Verizon Fascinate buddies crazy with what I can run on my device :).

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
For starters, it's GSM to CDMA.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I agree that OC is a waste for most of us. However, do you think UV doesn't really help battery much? I haven't tried any "scientific" test to compare with and without. It's tough to tell otherwise since my usage varies greatly day to day.
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
It runs "Car dock" but not the actual app so it know's it's "docked" yet the screen goes off. I don't want to run the Samsung Car Dock App. I want the home screen to stay lit.

This works on most Froyo Rom's. Some it doesn't...
[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Like MikeyMike01 said, Fascinate is CDMA. It is pretty easy to go from GalaxyS which is GSM to Captivate which is GSM. I can only imagine trying to port to a CDMA device would be a real pain. In addition to any "reorienting" you would need to port the CDMA radio drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I was hoping the radio would be agnostic to the ROM... I am not surprised it is not :).

No. The screen and radio(s) are what drain the battery, not the CPU.
[Captivate Android Development] yoni45:
So, this might seem like an entirely newbish question, but I just want to make sure my thought process is right here...

I'm looking to install the i9000 hamsterbread rom with this kernel... now, the instructions on the rom are:

Flash JVB with Bootloader with Odin...

...Flash CFRoot Kernel 3.1 JVB with Odin - put it in PDA...

...Now copy Hamsterbread.zip to your internal SD Card...

(and basically flash it from recovery)

Now, where should I ideally install this kernel? Instead of the CFRoot Kernel 3.1 step? Should I do it after the whole thing separately (it should have basic functionality even with the i9000 kernel right? it'd just be messed with things like button mappings?)...? Also, do those installation instructions look solid?

As an aside, any i9000 roms that particularly stand out? I know much of this is can be subjective, but I wouldn't mind some thoughts on roms that are worth checking out... ^_^
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
1. Flash Stock i9000 with bootloaders

2. Flash this kernel

3. Reboot into recovery and flash desired rom.

4. You might need to repeat step 2 if the rom has a kernel packed with it(most do) but wait for it to boot and "do it's thing" before rebooting into download to flash this kernel again.

The reason the cf root kernel was needed was to gain root, but since you're flashing another rom that's already rooted you don't need to flash that kernel.

As for which rom, I'm personally running Goatrip, because I like the looks of it. Others have reported that Doc's kitchen rom is working great. But once again it's all about preference.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Verify which version of cwm is used on rom your flashing to. Cwm 3.0 won't flash xcals kernel(unless change was made since 1.0 release).
[Captivate Android Development] yoni45:
Eek, thanks for the heads up!

It says it's 'Fully CWM 3 compatible' -- I'm guessing that means it's CWM 3.0?
