regardless of what you are saying removing it makes the lag go away. Installing it didn't matter, it was setting up the parameters that caused issues. I installed all my apps one at a time and that one causes the major lag i was getting. by major i mean all launchers painting the icons on screen one to four at a time.

Rom vs Kernal grudgematch...

OK, so I have been using xcal's reoriented for about 4 days now, all my apps restored, using most of them at one time or another, playing games, texting, surfing, all the things I usually do. Sony HE launcher, which I love. Smooth, fast, I've even turned back on all the animations just to enjoy the eye candy. No sleep of death, when I unplug the charger, it usually says 99 or 98%, after being on all night. Battery life is reasonable, everything I do works great.

This morning, nice quiet day at work, nothing going on, I'm just going to switch kernels and see. Flash the talon I have, which was the 0.1.7JVH, although I'm sure there are later ones.

There has to be a bad interaction here between my specific hardware, kernel, and the ROM. I haven't even opened any of my apps yet, and I want to throw the thing through the wall. just setup market, google accounts, wifi AP at work.

I wish I had some way of digging into this more. If this was a FreeBSD box, I'd dive right in, and see what I can find, but the android stuff is just a blackbox to me. I don't know if it's compiler optimization flags, the android equivalent of dll hell, or what, but it is night and day different.

Next stop, a more recent talon kernel.

I'm thinking of going over to buy an infuse, maybe I should send my captivate to talon so he can see, maybe having the hardware will help.

[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
The original 5.4.1 with talon 0.1.7 made me really frustrated. Lagged horribly, the worst ever, worse than stock Eclair. Problems were solved with the version 11 of 0.1.7. There are still some non-lag issues, but the lag is fixed for me. It's running fine for about 2 days now with dozens of apps.

Bug? When I use my power button to take pictures, the long power menu pops up and then the camera takes the pic. I then have to back out of the power menu. Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
you probably keep the power button pressed too long. Just press it once shortly and camera will autofocus and snap the pic

Thank you.

I've been running 5.4.1 since 5-9-11. I use Launcher Pro with 7 screens, and 78 apps on those screens, plus another 100+ on my device.

I am running xcal's reorient kernel. I have no lag and no problems what-so-ever. I use no app-killers, juice defenders or anything like that.

Neocore: 55.6

Just to let people know this is a robust ROM..

I tired to install a Recording.zip from PaulDiddy remix and did not get past the i9000 screen. SO I went to download mode and installed Continuuim 4....Ran it awhile and entered download mode

I then opened Odin 3 and loaded C5 in the PDA slot and started...the flash failed about 1/2 way. Pulled the battery and re flashed using Odin and all is well NO ISSUES.. Never needed to go back to stock...

Doing all of this I did not bork the device . God knows I tried...LOL

So yes you can go BACK to froyo and keep the bootloader and come back using Odin. VERY nice.

Can't wait for some KERNELS.....and dark themes..PaulDiddy where are you!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It has nothing to do with the modem. I don't force close.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Anyone just flashing away with i9000 themes will lose anything that Cezar changed that IS NOT changed in the theme. So usually menu items in settings gets lost and whatever framework that is not in the theme will be gone. Just FYI. They work but not perfectly unless ported.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:

Can I flash this over the stock i9000 rom? Already have bootloaders flashed and all that
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
You need to flash the beta 1 first and it's not a zip.

So you can download the Odin version without bootloader.

So I'm completely confused. I been having the charge issue. So has everyone else. I used battery calibration app when it got 100 and then bam no problem again. I recently went to xcal kernel. Everything smooth. Talon is awesome speed wise but I don't need o/c or u/v so I'm good with xcal. Yesterday morning. I unplugged and bam 100% battery no problem I was like hell ya. but this morning unplugged and 87%..... wtf? What happenned? I've installed a couple apps and erased a couple things like VC cause xcal doesn't use it but what happened?

I know there is a airport trick to help this issue but I can't leave my phone on airport because I'm on call 24/7. Anyone else have any tips or some idea what happened within that time made my phone do what it did?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
It needs to be updated in the kernel... lol of course you boot looped!
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
That is for I9000, will mess up your rotation and head phone logic even if you get it to work. Wait till existz or xcal incorporate the BLN into their kernels for I897. Should not be too long now ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
It's a known bug and there is no fix for it yet... I have it too buddy, I know how much it sucks. Just be patient and hope that the next firmware releases from Samsung don't have this bug so that new ROMs on those bases will be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] mrcpu:
Scratch that, back to xcal. Talon test kernels no longer available via #suckerpunch. I understand the reasoning, but back to what works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
try this

just install and reboot your phone.when it reboots it will say 50% time fix applied or something to that effect i looked through the rom and didnt see this in there so hopfully it helps you out.

This is for the "time without signal" bug, won't help with charging bug at all.

Sorry about that.thanks for the correction
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
Sooner people have said that if you leave auto rotation off it will not cause the charging bug. I never have rotation on unless I need it and I don't have the charging bug anymore. Im not positive that this is what is causing it but it works for me.

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Also, for those that are not aware, you can simply swipe your finger across the notification bar left and right to adjust the screen brightness when auto is off. Very quick way to brighten the screen if you are in a brighter area than normal.

Fire some reason, that worked for a short while for me then stopped. A quick reboot fixed that.

Ok so after reading on here something about maps killing batt. So I described to freeze maps.. before it was using 7% and after freezing and 4 hrs it's at 8%... what the hell.. used TB to freeze.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I haven't had the bug, but good to know. If that is an actual solution, it's not that big a deal to turn it off right before you charge and then back on when you unplug if you are someone (like me) who uses auto-rotate. It's easy to switch in the notification pull-down.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I believe this has been a feature since Froyo... I could be wrong though
[Captivate Android Development] midnightslide:
For some reason, this rom has always been pretty laggy for me. Is that common with 2.3 roms on the cappy? Just picked this phone up, and aside from the lag, I am really loving this rom.

Should I reflash it, or is there a better kernel than the one mentioned in the op? If not, it looks like I shall be putting up with the lag for this otherwise awesome rom. Great work icezar1!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
You are right but most people are not aware or they have auto brightness enabled and the feature does not work then.

I saw that too with the stock launcher. LauncherPro doesn't seem to have the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Well problem is that disappears too...
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
I think anyone experiencing lag should take a look at autostarts and see what is hooked into all the events for android. stock continuum was fast for me. I tibu restored my apps, and continuum was unusable.

with autostarts, I removed startup events and hooks for other events, and everything is fast.

and, PSA: "autostarts is not a process killer, please read what it does before flaming this post".

[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
The Sony launcher is already installed by default. From your home screen go menu> settings> applications> manage applications then find whatever launcher program you are currently using from your running app list and tap on it then choose clear defaults from the bottom of the menu. Then trap on your home button and it should give you the choice to choose the Sony launcher.

I have many of the same lag issues as reported here, but only when I run talon with ext. If I run rfs, it seems smooth as can be. Slower for sire, but smooth. Seems like that is the same as switching to xcal kernel. Could be my imagination.
