Modem Q

So, I know you shouldn't flash an I897 Modem if you are running an I9000 ROM, but what would happen if you do? Everyone just says it will not work, so the signal would be bad and all that?

The problem I have in my bother's phone is that it will not work with the I9000 Modems. It rarely has service :(

I've tried to flash several I9000 Modems in his phone and nothing works.

The only Modem that has worked is the KB1. While on froyo, he had a Captivate based ROM with KB1, but right now there can't be a captivate based GB ROM and I don't know how to help him with this modem problem :(

He had to put his SIM card in his old iPhone so he could use his phone during his business day, so I took this as an opportunity to flash the KB1 modem and see what happens :p He says he'll test it tonight.

Will let you know if the phone explodes :p and if you have any ideas on how to solve this problem please let me know :D

Thanks!!!!

EDIT: I posted this here because we are running Mosaic II :D and I know it is not a modem thread (just getting ahead of any complaints about my post :p)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If you mix I9000 kernels with I897 modems you get very very poor sound quality. Echoing, static, all kinds of not good.

That sucks, I guess your bro has to stick with kb1 ;/ Unless you wanna be a super awesome sister and switch cappys with him lol.

1.) I noticed I still have CWM 2.5, and was wondering if I can flash Speedmod K13E, without issue. Or do you have a better Kernel that be flashed CWM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
If it helps, people have been in a lot worse situations and gotten out of them just fine. So again, calm down... if the phone comes on, there's a very good chance you can recover from it.

So try and get into Download mode again... and yes, pull your sim and sd cards out.

To be on the safe side, I would run in XP mode.

Don't have time to try it myself right now, but you could always just move the framework-res.apk to the /system/framekwork folder using root explorer... that's all that zip file does anyway. copy the framework apk to your phone, then do a move to that directory.... should work that way.

Mosaic VII is awesome.

This isn't a question but I just wanted to say how awesome Mosaic VII is on my Captivate!!! It has never performed better as far as upload and download speed and everything runs ultra smooth. I never had a reboot (loved Fusion VI but reboots became too much) and theme for Mosaic VII is top notch. I did get a little better battery life on some of the other GB roms but I can easily make it through the day with Mosaic. I really don't know how it could get any better. Awesome job by The Collective.

I've tried Darkcore 4.0 and 4.1, as well as TalonDEV 5.1.3. I just put TalonDEV 5.1-RC1 on a couple of hours ago, and even without the Thunderbolt! tweaks, it's doing amazing. The only problem I had with the previous Talon was sleep death, but so far it seems to be doing fine. Incoming calls wake the phone up quickly enough to answer the call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodolsen:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n6science:
Ok I got xcals and Darkcore 4.1 JVT downloaded. For TalenDEV 5.1-RC1 which file did you download, since there are four different version?

TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1000-CWM3.zip

TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1200-CWM3.zip

TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1000-BIGMEM-CWM3.zip

TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1200-BIGMEM-CWM3.zip
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodolsen:
I did this one TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1200-CWM3.zip.

The differences are this:

BIGMEM gives you more memory (352MB vs 340MB iirc) but you lose 720p video recording.

1000 vs 1200 is the max clock of the CPU so 1.0GHz vs 1.2GHz.

The TalonDev kernel also comes with app called MemoryFreak that allows you to control how memory is handled.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n6science:
Ok sweet. I just tried xcals right now and will definitely give Talon a try as well. Thanks for the help, it's really appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkimbel:
The nice thing about Talon is that it's CWM flashable, so you can switch between BIGMEM and non-BIGMEM almost on the fly; just keep both kernals on your sdcard and you're good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
+1 on that. I keep the bigmem on my sdcard for when I want to play Dungeon Defenders, and switch back to the standard for any other time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n6science:
Alright Talon seems to be the winner. In your opinions what are the best settings ,with memory freak, to get the best performance out of the phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaquez4:
I use 52 (background apps), 160 (zram), 50 (swappiness). Works well for me. You can also play with the settings to tweak what works best for you

Question: what causes a hot reboot, and by that, I mean the phone locks itself out and reboots while still running. I'm running M7, and every now and then, it'll happen. Suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n6science:
I'm experiencing the same problem. Some of it was alleviated by changing to the Talon DEV kernel for me. But now when I try to play some games or use certain apps the phone locks and hot reboots.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Hot reboot is a safe way for your phone not to overheat or have hardware/software damage. It happens mostly when you're running too many things at the same time or running some really heavy apps.

Using Talon's big mem kernel will help using bigger apps (games) but you might experience sleep death.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
I'm curious as to why this is happening on M7 and not M6 though. I can imagine the pull down animation has something to do with it. :rolleyes:

YAY FIRST POST!~!!111shift+1!!

I've been creeping and flashing since I got my cappy, now I want to participate.

I'm currently running MIV. Firefly Theme

I had MIIIdiet and got 4 from the OTAapp. (Love the app!)

I don't flash often and have never deviated from stock kernels, so 4 kept me happy until I noticed the app not working anymore and realizing I fell behind a few months/versions of the ROM.

I am reading through everything, slowly but surely. Only a couple hundred more pages on a few threads, but if anyone has a couple minutes to give me their opinion that would be wonderful.

-I love Mosaic, especially Firefly theme, I was wondering whether MVII had a few more themes ported? (Haven't found the answer yet, or it's still "nope")

-I understand that a lot of the dev's are leaving for the SGII, but I am not yet. (Waiting for the 3 or galaxy nexus, something with dualcore+betterhardware or my cheap upgrade xD) So, in your opinion should I flash VI and get a theme I like, or just flash VII and go with the red? I'm not partial to red, but I could deal. Or yes, I know.... make my own. I want to get to that eventually I just need the time.

-Should I start playing around with kernels now? If so... what have you tried and why do you like it?

-Does anyone actually use Kies?

I'm excited to flash again, my battery life lately has seemingly been worse. So back stuff up, pull sim+sd, revert to stock, wipe data, flash. I'll go read the instructions again. I've probably forgotten most things. Any random tips would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

Okay, m8 is out, I'm stoked and will probably flash tomorrow after I make sure I know what I'm doing again.

Should I go back to stock GB and xcal kernel or is this procedure fine from mosaicIV with firefly? kernel it came with, reorient.

Recommended procedure for flashing:

(The following steps are only for those who have GB bootloaders and are on xcal's kernel)

Download the ROM

Put it on SD card

Boot your phone to recovery

Do a factory reset

Do a cache wipe

Do a Dalvik-cache wipe

Now install a zip from SD card

Select the ROM zip and flash it

Reboot and enjoy

Then since everyone is raving about Talon Bigmem, I plan on flashing right away. Same thing? Just boot into recovery and install the zip?

I don't need odin for anything?

It's just been a while and I want to make sure I'm doing it right xD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:

No need for Odin once you have the bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kazzemi:

My back and search soft keys don't seem to be working, just wondering if anyone else ever got this? They don't work except when on the home screen, back scrolls through my home screen to the left, and search to the right. It's kind of entertaining, but I see it being a potential problem xD

I'll do a fresh wipe and install again and see if that changes anything.

Also, when auto rotation is on, it's always in landscape. I don't use landscape much so always portrait is fine. But something I noticed so far.

Mosaic 8 Widgets/Kernel

Hi, want to say that I love the new build, just have two quick questions regarding it. When I add a widget to the homescreen, the widgets are not grouped. Is there a way to do this manually? Also, I am running Talon, 0.5.1-RC1, I believe it is. When I go to "About Phone" for the Kernel version, it shows "2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736ROOT@LINUX)), instead of anything stating Talon. These aren't major issues obviously, just want to make sure that it's not an issue specifically with my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
My 'About Phone' says the same things. Pretty sure you are good there. And when you mean group widgets, do you mean in a folder? I know with apps you can drop them right on top of one another to put them in a folder, similar to the iPoop. Not sure on widgets.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pqee:
No he means grouping like widgets in a sub menu. Hold down on your screen and go to widgets. Before Addons like Fancy Widgets would have one entry "Fancy Widgets (5 widgets)" that brings up a sub menu. Now they're all listed in one huge list with everything else.
