I know that rfs is indicated but outa curiosity I've tried xcals #15 with voodoo and have to say great choice.Used it for about 2 weeks now and so far no issues or lag + it uses about 20mb less ram then the stock( #14).No issues so far exept bln but no biggy.
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
I tried this several times and it didn't take. The folder I created ("disable lagfix") just gets deleted on next boot. :confused: :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
You can get BLN with #15 if you update your services.jar with root explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
First I think it's called "disable-lagfix" you didn't include the "-"that could be the problem... but I ran into this problem of voodoo not disabling too even when named correctly, uninstall the voodoo control app, reflash the voodoo kernel then reinstall the voodoo app. That should disable it. If that doesn't work flag back to stock gb.

Quick question, how do I flash stock GB without bootloaders?

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That is the exact opposite of the request. He wants firmware minus bootloaders that is bootloaders minus firmware.

Just use the stock gingerbread package with the bootloaders, that's what I used. Zel also mentioned that he always flashes bootloaders when going to stock (gingerbread or otherwise)
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
Yeah that was, lol. I would prefer not to flash bootloaders because they aren't needed and the risk involved but if there is nothing available its all good.

Would it work with the Captivate or is it the kernel that matters?
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
I'm pretty sure it's just the kernel that matters so what I would do is follow the steps in the OP including the files, but use the pda (rom) without the bootloaders. I don't think you need to re-partition. You may want to have someone verify this first.

Edit: To match the OP files pick XWJVB NEE

I flashed M3 last night, and so far I like it (was really laggy & the whole phone froze once or twice at first, but settled down & runs great now).

My question is, when I unplugged it from the charger this morning (after it said "full"), the battery dropped to 76% as soon as it was unplugged. I had unplugged it 20 min before that to look at something, and it had only dropped down to 98%. I had seen some posts earlier from people who had the same issue before it happened to me, but couldn't find them again when I just tried to find them. Is there a reason the battery drops that much after unplugging it? is there a fix?

Granted, even from starting at the lower battery level (managed to get it to 82% by the time I got to work), my phone ended up having just as much of a charge at the end of my work day as my fully charged phone running FF3.0 had at the end of the 8 hour workday (around 49%), so I know this is better on the battery so far, just would like it to be as fully charged as possible when I take it off the charger...
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I never got the problem so I'm not 100% sure that works but people have been saying that turning off your wifi will fix the battery problem when unplugging.

Some others said that doing a clear cache/dalvik and factory reset with a clean flash worked. But I'd try the 1st option ;)

[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
I've been noticing the same thing when I take my phone off the charger. When I unplug it, I go down to 98%. But since the battery works better with this rom I still get a lot of use from one charge for the day. It's more an annoyance than anything else. Let me know if you anything works for you.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
That's perfectly normal. that's how our battery is.. It stops charging when hitting 100% so it doesn't burn the battery. It starts charging again once it drops a few %.

[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
i have found consistently that when i charge the phone with mobile ap on (which i use daily) it stays at 100% for a while. that may satisfy you ocd but might not be the best for the long term life of your battery............ 2 cents...
[Captivate Android Development] nrgaway:
annoying isn't it ;) I have the same problem and I figured out how to reproduce it and prevent it on my phone. This only happens to me when gps has ben activated so I make sure I manually turn of gps and reboot before bed and the problem goes away unless gps gets activated again. Hopes this helps if the other suggestions don't! (bluetooth is also off before reboot and stays off since I don't use it at night).

Much rather you guys take your time and produce the high end quality products that we are accustomed to. Can anyone really complain? I mean how stable is MIII Diet for everyone. Its not like there are serious flaws in the rom thats hindering its performance and functionality. Thats just my 2 cents though. I know he have some flash crack heads on the boards.

Having some battery drain issues all of a sudden, when I go to battery use in settings, it seems that gallery is the cuprit. It was at 40% this morning. I pulled the battery out for a lil while, lets see if that works out. The only thing I have done differently on my phone was flash the new talon kernal, then back to xcals novoodoo. Thanks

p.s. - my battery is at 88% or less on unplug as of recently too, used to be at 98 on unplug for the past couple weeks ive had m3 flashed

im having the same battery probably as everyone unplugs at 81 if kept plugged in all night .. I thought it was a known GB issue that no one could figure out.

Other than that I've been running diet since the day it was posted and it's my favorite rom of all time so far.

Google maps has been updating fine for me without battery being killed. My weight loss app uses it and GPS for workout tracking (walking) and both run great.

Still on M3 fat too. Got all my apps the way I like them and my launcher populated with folders etc. Always hate setting it all up again. Didn't see anything in tibu that saves it.

The only odd thing for me is that my custom ringtones don't work if my headset is plugged in.

Over a day battery life now that I am on wifi instead of data network most of the time. It really really helped overnight too.

Can't get over how much this screen sucks power though. Have it set to auto. Xda app for 20 mins has sucked about 23% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Psst...if you long press on your own posts in the xda app it gives you the option to edit...if you are on the full site in your browser the edit button is at the bottom with the quote and thanks button.

No need to double post to fix a typo...

1. Backup the launcher then restore the data...the only thing that doesn't get restored is widgets.

2. Turn auto OFF set it to the lowest brightness and just hold the notification bar and move your finger left and right to adjust brightness on the fly. Should save you some battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
I usually backup all apps so the launcher should be included yes? I also normally restore all plus data but that has never worked :(.

I knew about the notification bar using firefly but it never seemed to work on MIII for me. I'm in and out of the daylight so often that auto usually does well. It seemed to help a lot compared to when I simply had it on manual low. Even then XDA still killed.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Are you using the included launcher? If so then it isn't backed up or restored with the tibu batches because its in /system/app so its not a "user app" you have to manually back it up and restore it individually.

And the notification bar brightness adjustment is a samsung thing...it works on ALL roms except CM7 and MIUI as those are aosp.
[Captivate Android Development] wretchedhorror:
: waits in line for mIV :
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
Never knew that, cool! I always used auto and found many times it was flaky.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
I am using the default launcher and have system/user selected to back up. I'm assuming its the Launcher v2? If so, that is being backed up.

I'm using JoeDV's Montage on M3 Fat so when i touch the bar it brings a pull down menu and doesn't lighten/darken. I wonder if that is the case?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
just try and back it up and restore it individually...ALWAYS works here

and no theme or anything else can break the brightness adjustment that is a deeply built in part of the OS. If the rom is based on samsung source code and you have Auto brightness OFF it will work. Did you turn off auto brightness? are you moving your finger down? maybe its going too far down and just bringing the pulldown down...

Lag

Hi Guys,

Recently i have noticed some lag on my phone, like when i click on the phone it takes 1-2 secods to load and same with call log etc. anyone else has noticed these?

anyone using Lag fix?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Actually I think the fix was to set wi-fi to 'always on' or 'on when plugged in' via menu > sleep policy when in the wi-fi settings.

Hopefully the Honeycomb theme gets updated for Mosiac V/what ever its going to be called. (why change the name, its good! I bet you guys are BS'ing.)
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Hmm I'll try a manual instead of batch and see when MIV comes out :).

As for the brightness I did have auto still set. Removed auto and put it to lowest setting. Went back to main screen and when I touch the bar, the pop out shows and then it goes to full brightness. Moving back and forth won't diminish it :(. I think it was the same way before. I was able to do it on firefly. On the theme it actually puts a drop bar below the standard and I'm not pulling it down.

Just got my wifes new phone.

I get to step 6 then it keeps rebooting ?

1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)

2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.

3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2

4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)

5. Boot up normally and let things settle.

6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Which kernel are you flashing in step 6?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
The only instructions I have followed and it was mostly because I found it the easiest to understand were the instructions for flashing GR12. But I've used it several times now with no issues to go back to stock gb when I find myself in a nasty bootloop. Look it up, I think it's on page 2 now in android dev. Of course when it comes to the final step you can flash whatever rom you want as long as you have it on the sd card (int). Hope it helps

Also, why can't I get a keyboard with arrow keys for my cursor? I dont Swype. My big thumbs don't work like that.

Sent to you by Demonic Method
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Yes, it's normal that when you have no network connection that your battery will drain as it atempts to find network all the time.

As for the keyboard (swype) you can swype from abc to swype option and back to abc. It will pop a different page with arrows and such. Hit abc to go back.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Yeah in most cases. Maps usually isn't running when I check my running processes unless it's running as an embedded process that can't be seen...

Also I did the battery pull for 15mins or so thing and it seems to have gone away. For now. And it's not a constant thing either as it just started the other day and I flashed Diet when it was released and never froze Maps.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Unfortunately that was also tried and no love. As soon as it rolled back up it went to full brightness from whatever setting I had it on and swyping back and forth even slowly didn't decrease it. I would tap again, wait for it to vanish and try to reduce it but it stayed at full. Probably the only difference is that your on IV or Diet and I'm on Fat. Love the theme by the way, the coloured icons were just the difference I wanted. Got Fat set up, popped your theme on and haven't looked back. Only thing I found was that when I went to the browser (default for III) there were ghost icons (all of them) in the status bar. I think it's just a transparency issue. Let me see if I can edit this post from xda app and attach a screenshot.

**EDIT** Rebooted phone (of course I try THAT now) and it no longer locks at full brightness on the notification bar. Back to working like it used to.

Thx

Holy crap they're huge. Umm anyways, you can see the light notification icons on the status bar on the right and left.

That ghost stuff was fixed a while ago... download montage again and reinstall, should fix it. You can get it from the link in my sig. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] stevebic83:
If you are having trouble with the notification bar brightness slide, let me give you a couple of tips. First, you can't just slide your finger across it, what you want to do is touch, the pulldown tab will pop up underneath the bar, and HOLD until the pulldown tab disappears, then slide your finger across it. Secondly, you slide your finger LEFT and/or RIGHT, not up or down. And finally, if it still doesn't work then there might be something wrong with your phone or maybe a bad flash, like Studa said it's built INTO the OS. Hope that helps! :D
[Captivate Android Development] eureb:
Starting to wonder if I have a bad flash. Phone froze yesterday (screen stayed on, no response from physical buttons or soft, plus screen timeout didn't happen) and when i pulled the battery out to restart it, the battery was at 11% (was at 33% before freeze)

Later, i put phone into recovery mode to clear the caches and the battery stats. When I tried to Clear the battery stats, an error popped up about the back button not working (don't remember exact wording) and the power button no longer worked to select anything. I pulled battery, and when i restarted it, it came up in recovery mode again, and the error popped up on it's own without touching anything. Pulled battery again, and managed to select reboot before the error locked me out again.
