Far as I know you need it, or TM will start FC'd. Its that Chinese app in tools folder. Yea I've tried all that. Replace, delete, cwm flash lol. Its all good. Come next update ima start on a fresh build.

Edit yea I came from cm7 fresh w/ no data.. I'm still using both though. You kkow i love me some cm7. And with this notification / headsrt thing goin on w/ this rom....be driving me nuts sometimes
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I don't have any updater in my Tools folder. Sorry man

CM7 is awesome. The headset thing kills me, music is my focus in this phone. I have to flash CM7 now, to alternate.

Oh, and that theme you posted, I tried. It had a gap in the notif bar. Bad :/ oh well. Thanks a lot for the help!

Also, found a way to use stock Dark theme! Copy the file from /system/media/theme/ and toss it into /sdcard/MIUI/theme and apply. It'll convert properly. I think the permissions or the read only attributes of /system caused the conversion fail.
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
i'm not trying

I said! compared by date and time, size and content

this script work with any kernel that support init.d

not INTO kernel but works WITH kernel!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Like this guy said, its a script. Nothing more. Nothing to do with the kernel aside from needing a kernel that supports scripts (basically all I think). It resides on the SD, not in a kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
I know this brah....
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
just download script from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145

and download 1.7.8 from this thread

and compare 2 files named s97ramscript

I just say that you don't need to install script, it's already in this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] rwells813:
Buddy I've got them both on my phone now, I've extracted both of them. Just what exactly else are you trying to proove here? Other than the scripts being the same? Let it go brah....

Edit: i know Its already in the rom brah... i know this :/

Andi don't know why I said kernels, its the weekend. All I did was look at them in text editer... AND THEY JUST SEEMED... to be moddified differently

Edit: you want a cookie or something?
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
rwells813

used total commander for compare

compared by content two files

tota commander said IDENTICAL!

Thanks for the response askpcguy. Unfortunately syncing the calendar didn't work either . Think once I get new data cable I will go back to stock and sync it then re try miui. Very frustrating not bring able to add events to calendar .

This topic may have been covered already for 1.7.8 but I wanted to ask anyways. Has anyone else had an issue with USB Debugging mode not working properly? I have AIO and want to flash back to stock to clear for a different ROM, the phone states I am in debug mode but AIO is saying I'm not. Also, I was wondering is there was an issue with Clockworkmod Recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Flashing stock does not require usb debugging
[Captivate Android Development] jerseykirby:
With ODIN 1 Click on the AIO Toolbox it say it requires it so yes it does, unless there is a different way.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnb:
flash performance?

what is flash performance like with this? It looks like a really nice rom, but thats my major concern

[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Read this page fully(it includes many tutorials together), http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1865848

According to your question, you seem doesn't know that the Debugging Mode for AIO Captivate Toolbox is used to command the Captivate to boot into either Download Mode or Recovery Mode.

If your phone is already in Download Mode(please read how to do this on the link I shared above), your phone is ready to flash anytime by using Odin or Heimdall.

How?

1.) Off phone. Turn it into Download Mode. Make sure it's unplugged from the PC you're going to flash it.

2.) Open AIO Captivate Toolbox, select Flash to Stock. Select 1 Click(recommended). An Odin Box will appear.

3.) Now, plug your Captivate(in Download Mode) into the PC.

4.) Wait a while for Odin to recognize the phone(a bar will turn yellow).

5.) Once it's done recognizing the phone, press START.

6.) OK, now, it's flashing. Do not unplug, etc. Or else, you'll be crystal clear.

Can anyone confirm if this is working on the Samsung Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Not sure if its documented but I've been running 1.7.8 for 2 days now and for some reason today I just started getting F/Cs all over the place. And from system apps not my own, the SMS app is probably going the craziest and won't even open and my frameworks keeps crashing as well. I'll try doing a full wipe and reinstalling.

Battery drain on latest release is out of control ;)
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yeah, it was very good on 1.7.1 and it just keeps getting better. I hardly use my phone like most of you so I can usually go all day with it staying in the low 90's. That is just since the last two releases.

You are not alone. I went back to 1.7.1 as EVERY app was forceclosing. Reflashed twice to no avail. Have you had any luck?

i'm running 7.8 with no issues at all. My location now stays off which is great. I stay with stock kernal and no other fixes (lag or whatnot). Straight miui only. Came stock 2.1, to miui .6.24 full wipe and format to 7.1 and repeated the same upgrade process for .7.8. Haven't had a single fc with heavy usage. Really a solid system.

Theme Mangaing

So I keep on getting FC in Theme Manager on 3D Colliris Gallery when trying to set my own lockscreen wallpaper and Themes closes as i try to import my theme. Speaking of which trying to make my own theme but can't figure how to edit the five points lockscreen (working on sense for now)

If anyone can help me, making my first theme, i compressed it into .rar then renamed to .mtz... will that work?

Also other things: i lose buttons functions after i unlock sometimes, seems to relate to UVin, had to do a battery pull after mounting phone once, and battery is at about 9hours with moderate use.

Sorry if anything is a repeat. i tried to read FAQ and for the last few weeks thru the thread, if i missed something or misread sorry. Also so that other people can see issues i have.

Sorry for long post, i been waiting and just posted all at once.

Thanks Proto for all your work and this awesome rom

After using this ROM for about 2 week, I got to say this ROM is awesome, except the battery and the audience chip not utilized. Of course it is not the developers' fault as Samsung haven't release these source code. This ROM would've been perfect with this 2 features. Would jump back anytime when the battery is better.

Just my $0.02
[Captivate Android Development] Coolman4now:
Im relying on MIUI as my backup phone system, I wish you awesome developers focus on the battery life.

In CyanogenMOD I get almost the standby time like all Samsung ROMS, but with the same device and MIUI I got a bad battery life.

Nonetheless this ROM is Fast, reliable and solid, thank you for your time spent on developing it.

I did see that. And nowt it worked. Funny thing is i manually edited a bunch of numbers and nothing happened.

Wait till your cappy downlods all the previous apps from market on the first boot after flashing new version of miui then restore your apps with tibu. Mine started downloading apps from market automatically on the first boot and it caused fcs but this fixes all fcs for me.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to leave MIUI. I *love* this ROM - but I just can't handle the battery drain. I know, you've all heard it before, but let's be real: battery on this ROM sucks balls. Big hairy balls.

I switched to Mosaic II, my first GB ROM. I was scared sh*tless at flashing bootloaders, but the instructions are so clear you literally can't mess it up. Support in the threads is great, too (much better than those snotty Froyo thread used to be).

Now, my battery actually lasts for at least 24 hours with average use. I've started underclocking to 800, and I actually don't see any performance loss. Like NONE. Runs just as smooth and lag free at 800 as it does on 1200. It's crazy. With the underclock and some undervolting, as well as Juice Defender (which is an app that shuts off data when the screen turns off) I'm now coming up on 40 hours on one charge.

That being said, when the battery drain issues on MIUI are fixed, I'll definitely be back!!
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Battery drain stopped for many of us on RC8, now im doing 26 with normal use.. first time that happen to me on MIUI. I believe that MIUI now have the same battery as any other Ginger rom available.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Then you haven't used Samsung based gingerbread roms, miui is getting real good but still doesn't match Samsung roms.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Hmmmm I was on RC8b and it was terrrrible. I'm on this thread almost daily, and I kept seeing others reporting the same. Weird...good for you tho! Wish I could say the same - I would never leave MIUI!
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
As many others in the past said. Im happy here with in miui and 2.3.4.. no need to test other roms. I believe all this thing is a perception and needs situation. Good for us that there are plenty of options to test and talk about it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I love miui and use it as a daily driver, I'm just saying battery has gotten much better but it can get better.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
theres a couple things that need to be done to keep the battery from draining so much on this rom. uv'ing is one that has helped a lot for me (from 1000- 400 i undervolt -100, then from 200-100 i go to -125). try not syncing background data if you dont need it. display brightness to a minimum. i have it set to just under halfway and i can see the screen really good. i'm on Galnets latest mgv3 and it seems to be running perfect so far. im at 80% at 6 hours and 37 minutes. standby is about 1% an hour.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Task

I am having an odd problem with mg3 where if I apply my theme I can't great phone calls. You seeing anything like this?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
the only reason i havent had that problem yet is because i dont format data when i flash these updates so my theme is already on there. but i have seen some posts about it in a few places. i think they were saying that it has something to do with the dark theme. i cant remember the fix for it. but i'll look around for you. whenever i run into problems like this i always just reflash kernel and modem. usually it works, but i think they're totally unrelated and i'm just getting lucky. have you tried that?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I deleted the theme then redownloaded it and now it appears good
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
nice. glad it was an easy fix.

I

have an issue with the main OP that I just solved. The efsbackup.zip is not in the steps. I know about a week ago I followed the instructions to a T on the op and got stuck in recovery for about three hours trying to get in to download mode so that I could flash back to stock. All of this would have been avoided if the efsbackup.zip was posted on the OP. I flash it right after the speedmod kernel and right before the miuirc2.zip and I am on my way to running MIUI.

I don't know but I saw a couple other people have the same problem. I know that the rc2 is supposed to have the efs in it, but it didn't work for me and caused me hours of unneeded frustration!

Im just sayin'

[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
Depending on the apps you have out the box battery life can be horrible. I personally think that the suggestions to turn off data are extreme.

I use these settings with NEO kernel series and I am fine.

1. Turn off auto-orientation.

2. Turn off My Location services. Settings > Personal > My Location > Turn them off. *enabled at startup.

3. I turn off WIFI when I am not not connected. Hard habit to break into...

4. Set backlight manually to a low setting

5. I find that killing Google Maps does wonders for when the phone is idle. Settings > Programs > Manage Applications > All > Maps, Force stop. *has to be done everytime you reboot. Pretty much stop any known programs under the Running tab that you are not using.

These steps work for me and IMO are less extreme than turning off data. I still get emails, etc and I get more than 24hrs with medium to light usage. I'll post screenshots in a second.

*Does anyone know of a way to not launch Google Maps/Enable My Location at startup?
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
Just stop any running apps that you are not using. If you don't need it uninstall it. Best of luck.

That's over 25 hours of charge assuming your battery discharges at a similar rate the whole day. If you're using your phone at all during that time I'm more than a little jealous. Are you really in a situation where you are unable to charge your phone once a day?
