The point of it is stability. I think he wants to be completely stable before adding additional mods, which is where a lot of the problems come from. Correct me if I'm wrong studacris.

[Captivate Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
yes you need to do a full wipe. Read the last 5 or so pages to get an idea of what's changed before making your decision. You could even read a few posts back. Too many haven't been reading and then have a ton of questions that have been answered. So after you've read a bit, then if you have questions please check out the Q&A thread. We'll be happy to help you there. Thanks!

Being the rebel I am and lazy.I just backed everything up and flashed......no problems works great
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Thank you. I know the Emily theme is personal and not sought after by anyone but myself, but it obviously has a great value to me and I would be greatly appreciative of any assistance you could provide in preserving it for me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
For some reason i cant dl the theme. Download unsuccessful every time. Do you have another link? Any version is fine :)

Gonna Install now. I have been so on the fence for ICS but it is not a complete package yet..... this will be nice.. ill miss my red theme though.

YUP, MIss my red theme and the grafiti wall paper. where can I get the walpaper for now till the theme is redone?

so far, it looks nice. still restoring from Tibu on my goodies so we will see.

Wanted to say thank you again Collective. I have been flashing you (lol) for the past year and I am constantly happy. Sad to say I am thinking of moving on. What phones are you guys leaning towards in the future? I am looking at the Galaxy Note but I am afraid it is to big.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
If you still have the red theme saved somewhere, you can always dig into the file and find it. It'll most likely either be in the /res/drawable-hdpi/ folder of the "framework-res.apk" file, or in the "twWallpaperChooser.apk" file (same location).
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
ATT Phones

Hope they aren't BS'ing... really want a Note... contract is up in 3 weeks, so would be nice timing if by "in the coming weeks" they mean 3-4 weeks and not 20 or 30 weeks. :)

Hello all

Guess who just gave his Inspire to his wife and took back her Captivate? I did! She hated the Captivate like no other and I had no use for the Inspire as I have a company iPhone 4 and now the Captivate. Anything I can do, let me know via PM.

Phoenix-Lead OUT!

Did not mean to sound impatient. Thought I just had missed something since the "theme settings" app controls Go Launcher and not everything else. I am very pleased with everything. Thank you guys once again for a great experience.
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
Ok here you go, two versions of Emily's Theme for you. One using lidroid toggles, the other SystemUI. Wasn't sure if lidroid ones were in the latest version of your ROM or not so did both. Should work on any ROM version if you use the right zip.

Im afraid you've lost the transparency in the dialer as the xml is from resources I think and hence unflashable via OTA. I also replaced the toggle icons in the non lidroid one as the theme I got had old grey ones in it, hope the yellow is ok. Ive attached some images of how it flashed on an S1 (I fixed the double yellow under the "on" toggles after the pics were taken!)

Install the darkyOTA app from market.

Copy the required zip to sdcard/darky/tmp/

Install zip from sdcard from "General" tab of the app.

If it doesnt work first time, rename the zip in the sdcard/darky/tmp to just "theme.zip"

Can someone test it please on the latest version :)

Nun - Hope you didn't mind me doing this :)

Thanks :cool:

I noticed a Ghost scren behind the active call screen when I first called someone. now I see a stock in call screen when I call someone as opposed to the themed one.

just an fyi... THanks for hte good works.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Thank you! I'm upgrading to M9 now, then will give it a shot. Don't care about the dialer honestly as I use the GoDialer anyway... so I never even see the stock one. :)

Will let you know how it goes... thanks again. :)

UPDATE: Worked perfectly! Thank you!! Only thing I noticed is that the settings icons are unchanged, and the sound/vibration toggle icon is always on regardless. Not a big deal, just some info.
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
Glad to help :D
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Updated my original post.. just a couple things I noticed. Settings icons aren't updated, and the sound/vibrate toggle icon is always on. (the bottom bar goes away, but the icon remains lit)

Truly appreciate it!! Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
Ahhhh, if you open the zip and go into settings/rea/ and remove the "-v4" from the "drawable-hdpi-v4" folder name then reflash it should fix the settings icons :)
[Captivate Android Development] pimpnmaxima:

Is it me or alot of the notification sounds that were in M8 not in M9 as well? I know it is a much more simplified version.... I cannot find the notification I used for SMS...

Ok, Nevermind. I figured it out. ill shut up now.
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
Just to say thank you for M9, it works almost great. And to do some feedback too.

- Dialer rotates even when autorotating is off, and it closes when go to Logs tab in landscape after rotating. Ah, and I only have a few log records (5), in normal mode it shows a hole where i can see the background.

- I have had only one auto-reboot reviewing available ram in Settings > Applications > Running Services.

Nice to see you Phoenix-Lead, congrats Studa for your first ROM, very good work, keeping moving.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
If there is a specific sound you liked in M8, just grab a copy of the rom and open it up. Look in the /system/media/audio folder. What you want should be there, and you can just copy it to a folder called "media" on your internal SD card, with the same subdirectories in place (i.e. if you copy the "alarms" folder, you'd have /media/alarms on your internal SD).
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
yea, My dumbass just figured that out. I just copied them all just in case.....

ill go lean against the wall now and just read the progress.
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
Okay, I give up. Where is the zombie wallpaper? I did look in the zip, but obviously not in the right place.

Also, if, for some strange reason, I decide to go back to 8.5, is there a zip of 8.5 somewhere? I have 8 and the update, but it would be nice to have a single zip of 8.5. Is the one on the OTA 8.5?
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
it's in the /system/framework folder, in the framework-res.apk file. Unzip that with 7zip, and it's in /res/drawable-hdpi, and called "default_wallpaper.jpg".

Also attached to this post, for fun.

Google Maps...

I am considering moving to this. I've been on Andromeda 3 for a year or so, very stable. But I've got a couple issues I've lived with (on every ROM I had tried) and am thinking of trying this. A couple questions:

1. Does Google Maps, if updated, still drain battery based on IX? Or can we go ahead and update now?

2. I am presuming that the Changelog is not updated with any info based on IX. I notice a date of 092111 on the previous CL, and the Next has things listed that I assume is not in this version (based on what I've read so far). Is that NEXT one things that are to be applied to IX /next version?

3. The Quick Check List is for Mosaic III. I do expect to need to disable LAGFIX, but do I need to move to XCAL's Kernel? I am presuming I need to follow the instructions further down and go ahead and install a basic GB, then upgrade to IX. No?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
I have never noticed a large battery drain on the Maps program. I use mine regularly but make sure I only enable GPS when I know I am going to use the Map.

as for Coming to Mosaic, I originally came from a Froyo based Rom. thus I had to flash to the GB bootloaders. From there I flashed straight to M8 (at the time the latest). the past few days, I have tried to go ICS, but since that didnt work, I just went to stock GB and then into 9. it is a Full wipe anyways so going to stock GB wasnt that big of a deal to me. the how to post on teh first page was SUPER helpful for me in doing it. Great step by step with using ODIN to flash to stock GB.

OH and if you have Windows 7, be prepared for your computer to spend 10+ minutes installing the drivers for the GB device. I let mine boot to stock GB then put USB debug on. waited for windows tohave all checks then activated USB storage.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
1. Hasn't been a problem for a while now.

2.didn't really do a change log, the "features" list in the op should suffice...if you don't see it in there it's not included in this version.

3. Yes, You will have to follow the full instructions coming from froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] fuze4me:
thank you Joe for bringing color back to my phone. it is beautiful once again! sorry i don't have a screen shot app on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Maybe I am blind or having a brain fart. I just downloaded IX, and opened the zip named Mosaic_9.zip, and I find no directory structure for settings/rea.

Is this now a non-issue?

Oh. ONe other question. ON the instructions for moving to Stock GB from 2.2 it says "(You need to be on stock rom for your device. Less to go wrong )". Now stock for me is 2.1, not 2.2. So should I go to 2.1, and then straight to GB? To 2.1, then to a version of 2.2? If there is a stock 2.2 for Captivate, I'm not sure what one that is. Never had it.

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
Not the ROM! I was talking to joedv about a theme and it should say res not rea! :D
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thank you sir. I presumed it was something like that. I like to be sure ;-)

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I am in middle of process up installing. I have just finished going to stock GB.

I have not rooted. I do not see instructions for rooting on the OP. I do see them in the referenced Tutorial. I don't see instructions to root after applying IX.

What I'm not sure about is: should I root now? Should I root later? Or is root already there after going to IX?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
the ROm is rooted.. you will get root when you get M9 on
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks for the quick reply. On to IX

Wifi...

I've had it installed for about 4 hours now. I like the looks very much. I need to see if I can get the CPU set a bit faster.

But, before that, I have much worse problem on this ROM than the Andromeda, for which I was hoping to improve. A bit more detail:

First, it doesn't seem to me this should be ROM related; I've had this problem on several ROMS, albeit over a year since trying any other than Andromeda (until today). This is a problem that has had several posts about in general, and that is WIFI error problems.

I can say that so far I have not had the WIFI go into ERROR state, but, every 3-5 minutes or so, it disconnects from wifi for a very short time. Now for most people lthis wouldn't really be a problem, but I have a Tasker Script that forwards my phone based on being hooked to my home SSID. So, every few minutes it forwards back to Google, then immediately forwards back to home.

I did have this happen on Andromeda...once in a while.

I don't know if its the case for all (I suspect so), but I notice that the WIFI scans every 5 seconds. During that scan the signal meter on the WIFI drops a bit, and every so often just drops the connection.

Another tidbit of info: I am on an N network. I believe I have read that people in general have problems with WIFI on this phone on N. Maybe thats my issue. But I do know the frequency is livable on the Andromeda ROM, but at the moment not so on this one.

Hoping someone has some ideas.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Set the DHCP on your router to something other than forever.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
For some reason the WIFI has an issue with some routers, usually Belkin, that you need to set the DHCP lease time to something other than never and that hopefully will fix your WIFI issue
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I presume that is something I need to set on the router. (JFYI, mine is TP-Link)

I just noticed here that maybe I need to set a static IP address. I don't mind that for home, but will be a problem on any others. I'm not sure if I can do that for just my WIFI, and have it use DHCP otherwise. I'll be exploring that, as well as investigation of the lease setting.

Any idea if I can lengthen the time between scans?

[EDIT]

I just checked,and my lease time is set for 120 minutes, so I'd say that meets the criteria of that suggestion.

[EDIT 2]

I found WiFi Static app, that may work for me to have static only on my home wifi.

I'll post back how things go.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I'll ask the obvious question... is it only occurring on your home network?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I can't get the status bar to be transparent. I've edited the lines in systemui, tried UOT, and even tried a patcher. Is this disabled, or can someone help me out here?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
In general, making the status bar transparent is a bad idea. It is actually layered, so by making it transparent you'll end up with ghost icons appearing on occasion.
[Captivate Android Development] 7heBoss:
So I just switched to this ROM and decided this will be my Final Flash for a while. Its amazing. Seriously amazing. One thing that bothers me though, the lame lock screen. So I switched to Pattern Lock, but I hate that there is a 4 dot minimum. I want my pattern to be SUPER simple so that I never have accident failed attempts. Is there any hack or registry edit to remove the 4 dot minimum? I would love to be able to just brush across the bottom row, or maybe even use a single dot as my whole password. is it possible?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
It may be possible...ionno how to do it.

There are apps that will give lock screens though...

Is there anyway to make a completely transparent one?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Update on my WIFI Issue...

While the very annoying short disconnects appear to be fixed with the Statuc Address work-around, I just did get the status if ERROR, which has been a problem on all ROMS I've tested. That prevents from hooking to WIFI at all.

Would be nice if we had a fix for that :D, but I can live with it...have been for a LONG time :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Sorry for the obvious question but is your data/wifi on?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Given that it's been occurring on various ROMs, for quite a while, and the vast majority of other users seem not to be having such an issue, perhaps the issue is with your phone and/or other applications that are installed (or your wifi setup given that you haven't tested it elsewhere). As has been demonstrated previously, each Captivate has it's own personality, so it doesn't necessarily mean there's a code issue to be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yes. And I also tried turning off WIFI, and using AT&T data. Same thing. I just now decided to try a restore on the app+data and try again. After the restore, I went to Market and started a download, and it rebooted. I'll try again after reboot finishes. Will update in a while.

Certainly that could be the case, but I will say that the ERROR issue is relatively common, that is, I've seen a number of posts which I've participated in, and those who have the problem, last I checked, continue to have it. Maybe it does affect a certain batch of phones.

I do NOT think it is ROM related. Just passing on the info in case others experience it.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I just tried again to update SwiftkeyX, and another program, and both get that error. So aside from my restored version of SwiftkeyX not working right, I have an issue with Market.

I found this post on Google:

I might give this a try, unless someone recommends against or has another idea for the error. While it is not a Captivate, the issue may likely be the same.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
No problems here. Using it now. Try uninstalling it and then installing again.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I was getting the same download error when my cache was set to 50mb (through semaphore). I'd go check in the app to make sure it's not.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
That was it! Thanks.

Hadn't been able to reinstall (other than a fresh restore from Titanium), but now I have and it is all good now.

I'm really liking this ROM.

One other note: I had my second freeze up/then reboot. JFYI...I had not been having that on the couple apps that froze. I was then, and until now, running at 1300. I just backed off to 1200. But, maybe that 50MB cache has something to do with it. I'll go a while and see how it goes, and if it doesn't freeze, I'll try 1300 again.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
I was getting that too when I had teh cache set to 50mb. 429 error on the market... thought I had messed something up so I reflashed everything before I figured it out.

fwiw, the 50mb worked for me with the 2.3.0 Kernel and M8.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
GPS?

Didn't find any comments on this. Is there any specific recommendation on any GPS fixes to apply on this ROM? So many out there. Or is everyone finding this to be good to go on install?
[Captivate Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
It worked for me right out of the box. Give it a try. You can always go for a fix if it doesn't work.

Hey Adam! Glad to see you back! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Pvster:
ok I think I missed something. Flashed 8.5 over version 7 and every time I boot up I get two different screens. First it starts with i1900 then in a second it switches to sgh-1897. I'm not sure if this is normal. I do have a constant issue of sleep death as well. Looking to flash the new release, but do I need to do anything different this time?
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Your screens are ok.. the i897 is normal behavior. For the sleep of death try another kernel like Semaphore it gave me the best results on M8.5
[Captivate Android Development] Pvster:
thx Silverton. I'll try the new version and if I still have sleepdeath issues I'll change kernals like you suggested.

[Captivate Android Development] DarkisFever:
Well I will say IX has impressed me so far! Very stable and smooth (Reminds me a lot of classic 2.3.3 Rogers Rom but looks much better :P).

Since I have been gone for so long I'd like to take a second and thank all of you for your support with my Captivate. While it is still sitting on my shelf collecting dust until I can grab a JIG off ebay, my co-worker who upgraded to an HTC Raider has allowed me to have his Cappy indefinitely(Or so it looks like). You all have been amazing with this ROM and it is still the best I have ever used. As well as you have all been very helpful to all of us with support issues. Big thanks to you all! Continue to make amazing works ^^. My Captivate will be back up and running soon enough!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Not leaving the collective, just moving on to a new device. Technology has a finite lifespan. I myself am getting a bit bored with the captivate, bit I'm both broke as hell and no phone has really stood out yet as a must have. The galaxy note looks interesting.
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
We sir are in the same boat and agreement.
