No, I've been on GoLauncher since the spring so I was pleasantly suprised to find it included in M8. :)

M7 has an AppWidgetPicker.apk in System\App, but M8 doesn't.

I copied it from 7 to 8 and rebooted but still don't see a change.

Edit: It worked fine once I fixed the permissions on the .apk.

Also found this thread that might help:

I flashed Mosaic VIII yesterday. It is awesome and I am very pleased. I am having an issue playing videos however. When trying to play something such as on Youtube the area where the video should be appears with nothing but static colored snow.

I read in one of the threads about changing to Launcher Pro. This fixed the video issue until I rebooted the phone.

I then installed ADW Launcher and it fixed the video issue but once again only until I rebooted the phone.

I originally downloaded the Mocaic VIII zip from mirror 1. I uninstalled it an even re-installed it with a download from mirror 2 and still have the same issue.

Can anyone point me in the right direction if this has happened to others or make a suggestion? Thank you and have a great day.

A couple of questions, I've been on Mosaic 8 for quite some time. I flashed the SOD fix and the mod. After flashing the mod, my custom ringtones only work about 1/3 of the time, 2/3 of the time I get the default ringtone. Is the only way to fix this going to the "Revert" or will I have to reflash Mosaic 8?

Secondly, with all of the hubbub about Carrier IQ, has that been stripped from custom roms? I'd like to tell my iPhone friends to STFU when they say "see Android is worse".

Hey folks!!

First off, Mosaic VIII is just pure awesome!! Before Mosaic, my Captivate was on Froyo with lag fix and it was still very slow. With GB bootloader and Mosaic, its pretty awesome fast.

I had a couple of questions

1. The battery seems to be discharging very fast. It probably lasts about 10-12 hours (10AM to 10PM). Any suggestions here to improve? I did look at some posts on charging 100% and deleting some battery stats file but some have reported that the battery stops charging after that update. I wonder how a single file can cause such havoc.

2. Just downloaded the Fruit Ninja. It runs very very very slow. I just took a look at the free RAM and its only 50MB out of 330+MB. Is this normal? Some of my background tasks are: 3G watchdog, WhatsApp, Facebook, WidgetSoid, Google Voice and a personal Email client for business purposes. Somehow it sounds really low.

May be 1 and 2 are related.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaquez4:
i had some of the similar battery life problems without the ninja app and read a few posts about the new semaphore big memory kernel. this along with the thunderbolt script tweaks and i have noticed i have an increased speed in the performance of the phone and an increase in battery life. i am usually a mid to heavy user and at first would have to charge my battery by noon, now it can usually go into the next morning or late late night before i need a charge. here are the links in case ya wanna take a read and decide to give a try.

So I figured out the game issue. It looks like the ads are interfering. If you disable both WiFi and cellular data, the games run smooth!! If you enable either of these, then the game tries to fetch and display ads and creates terrible lag.

So currently, I am doing the simplest thing-Disable Wifi and data when playing games. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Collective splash loop

Okay so im really new here and I have read a lot but still kind of overwhelmed with whats going on and the different things I can do with my phone.

So my problem is that when I go to boot up my phone, it goes normally and everything is fine until it comes to "The Collective" splash screen or whatever you call it. This animation seems to loop over and over and over, I've left it for about half an hour and nothing, just keeps looping.

What I've done it first installed 2.3.3 off of Samsung Kies and rooted it through odin. I then used this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

to get CWM (used steps 6 and on: assuming 2.3.3 accounts for the GB bootloaders) and then booted into recovery. From recovery I installed mosaic8.zip and rebooted.

This is when it started happening I tried a couple of things like disabling lagfix, clearing cache/dalvik cache/factory reset before installing mosaic 8 and still getting the same animation loop.

Hope someone can help and thanks! Cant wait to get it working :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Redownload the ROM, Yank battery, replace, boot into recovery (vol up and power for I9000 bootloaders) plug phone into pc, go to mounts and storage and and mount usb storage. Transfer newly downloaded ROM onto sdcard.

UNmount, UNplug, go back to main menu, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik now reflash the ROM.

Just a followup regarding lost custom ringtones. I flashed back to M8, added the update fix. The ringtones worked until I connected my bluetooth headset, then they stopped. I tried different kernals and that didn't change anything. Then I turned off bluetooth and my custom ringtones are working again. So, bluetooth on, custom ringtones don't work(on my phone); bluetooth off, custom ringtones do work...

I have M8 with Semaphore 2.x.xc whatever was released yesterday, but I noticed the workaround while I was still on 1.9.1c.

Sleep of Death

I recently switched to MVIII and started to have the sleep of death... or I think that is what is happening. The phone seems to be on and working but the screen won't wake up sometimes. I have to reboot to get it back. Anyway, I read and couldn't find any definite solution but I did see a lot of people moving to the Semaphore kernel, I went ahead and flashed Semaphore 1.9.1 non bigmem version and everything seems to work as before but I still get an occasional sleep death. Does anyone know what the source of the problem is? Never had a problem with this before on any ROM. This ROM is the best I have seen yet, if only I could fix the sleep of death problem. Maybe V9 will fix it? If anyone has any better thoughts, suggestions, links etc, please share with me. Thanks in advance and sorry if there is an answer posted... just couldn't find it.

Just updated Semaphore to v2.1.1c I will post an update in a few days if it makes a difference.

If she is running out of RAM you could try the Thunderbolt tweaks along with one of the LMK zips from the second post.

Thunderbolt Tweaks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokartracer5:
I can see that she runs out of RAM because the keyboard process is steadily climbing the more she uses it (Perfect Keyboard, Gingerbread Keyboard does the same thing). I can't see a way to kill that process like I can most others. It got to about 66MB of RAM all by itself when it wouldn't allow the messaging app to start. I can see that swype never gets higher than about 24MB and then reduces over time of when not in use. She won't use swype and the LMK setting doesn't seem to help this issue.

I have my own theories about why keyboard apps eat up RAM and doesn't let it go. ;) But, that's a topic for another time.

I haven't tried the ThunderBolt scripts yet. I may do that with my own first and see what happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Bester:
Just another followup, if I turn off Bluetooth via the dropdown toggle, my custom ringtones work, if it is on, and Bluetooth is connected, I get the old style phone ringer(which I don't use for anything), if the headset isn't connected, it defaults to my standard ringtone(lluminescence) and doesn't use my custom tones. If I turn off bluetooth, custom ringtones com back. I have specifically tested it and it is repeatable on my phone.

Secondly, tonight I wasn't connecting through 3G, it was telling me no network found, but my wife was getting 3G at the time, so I tried toggling the Data switch in the drop down. It turned off, but wouldn't come back. I rebooted and it still wouldn't come back. I went into settings-network and wireless- and turned data back on there, but the toggle still showed it as being off. I was able to use 3G after turning it on in settings. I tried toggling it, and it wouldn't make any change from on to off, but it was still on in settings.

Are you sure you flashed gingerbread bootloaders?

Did you follow the directions in post 2 and flash to a stock I9000 firmware before flashing mosaic, or did you come straight from froyo?

Because the instructions given do not require you to overwrite 3e as there is a kernel in the steps that includes cwm in it.

So to give you the cliff notes:

Flash I9000 gingerbread with Odin.

Flash reoriented kernel that has cwm baked in with Odin.

Boot into recovery flash ROM.

All the files you need, and more complete instructions can be found in post 2 of either this thread, or the main ROM thread.

Thanks for the help. I'll update after I rework it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Bootloaders don't show up in about phone either, so even though all of that information is correct, you may still have the wrong ones.

you shouldn't have an AT&T screen with those directions.

When it boots it should go, black I9000 screen for a couple seconds, then one that looks similar but says I 897. Then the collective boot animation.

First is bootloader splash, second is kernel, third is the roms boot animation.

If the second screen is just white noise you do not have the proper bootloaders, cause froyo bootloaders don't know how to display a gingerbread kernel splash.

You should also note that with the I9000 bootloaders the button combos are different.

Volup and power = recovery

Voldown and power = download.
