KC1 was pretty bad for me in the Bronx. It worked okay in Brooklyn, but JK4 has given me the best battery life so far and great signal in the Bronx.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I don't get how supposedly the I9000 group fixed bad battery for us, because I thought it was gingerbread that was making it so bad... Right?

Unless the post was referring to them fixing the battery for them!
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Yes they are referring to fixing the gingerbread battery drain that samsung hasn't fixed yet. The battery fix will be in the release candidate when it comes out.

MIUI 1.8.19 w/ TalonMTD & V6 ram script.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
thats pretty funny because when I'm in the Bronx, KC1 works fine. I guess it really depends on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Coolman4now:
What I meant was, the drain is from the ROM, and it's fixable.

The I9000 team figured it out.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Just flashed miui 1st time.and was wondering I can restore app+data from titanium backup Cox cudnt seem to open the app when I installed tibi
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
I'm on the same kernel. I honestly never really cared for a blinking notification when I get a text on any kernel for that matter. It does light up and stay steady so you can easily check when you have a notification. All you have to do is just simply turn the screen on and on the lock screen tells you if you have texts right there to make it easier.
[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
What about missed calls or emails and things?
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Well the missed calls you can see from the lock screen as well, so basically the only time you have to unlock the phone to check the notifications is if it's an email or anything else since you can't see that from the lockscreen. If you want to be able to do that, you can try downloading the lockscreen widgets app (I forgot exactly what it's named, but basically it'll allow you to have widgets on your lock screen so you don't have to unlock your phone every time you want to check a notification
[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
I know about the lockscreen stuff. I've had miui on two different phones but they both had led notification lights. So basically if I understand this right if its lit up check the lockscreen to see what it is
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
you got that right
[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
Alright thanks everyone.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
@Mcord

have you gotten a hold of the newest platypus calvin kernel yet? let me know when you do so i can try it out.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
why so we need to toggle from 3g to wifi downloads. why doesnt it work like normal android and do it automatically?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not released for captivate yet
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Led notifications should with automatically but go to settings/system/led settings. Make sure on
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
non spellin.. bad when you have to quote yourself. meant guage batt mod task:) is awesome
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i figured it out. lol. glad you like it. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Are many having issues with led notifications?

I am not but read a couple post abd was wondering
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Hi - just flashed this Rom and also have no external SD. Tried your suggestions and still no luck. Should I reflash the kernel? Any solutions? Thanks in advance, this is my first try on Miui Roms, very nice Rom just hope to get the external SD card issue fixed.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Look on your sd.for a folder named external_sd

Is it there?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Hi and thanks for the speedy reply. I do see the folder called external_sd but its empty ... and I have all my music on it and my apps... Can't seem to see any of it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Just thought of something, I did not have my external card plugged in when I flashed this rom. Could this be possibly the issue? Just a thought...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
couple things to try

First

Eject ext sd while phone is on then place back in. open miui gallery, menu, scan sd

See if that works

If not look for this directory mount/emmc see picture. Look in that directory. Is it empty?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
The folder is there and it is empty.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What happened when you ejected the sd?

Take a screen shot of your external_sd folder please
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
you can use tibu. I did and it worked just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
doh im so dumb lol forgot to install the free version of tibi lol inonly had the pro key installed lmao!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Had a weird one last night. Lost data completely. Toggled data and it didn't seem to work, rebooted and toggled data, no luck, cleared devlik, no luck, finally re-installed the ROM and now it works.

Running 1.8.19 and Talon MTD

Sent from a autonomous device
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
i had the same problem the other night. eventually it worked after two reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Miui back up works better than tibu imo. Try it instead the next time you flash you won't be disappointed

MIUI 1.8.19 w/ TalonMTD & V6 ram script.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
where does the miui backup files get stored? I want to pull those off the sdcard in case I wipe out the phone.

I also noticed that the online backup doesnt work with apps and data. just contacts, right?
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
/sdcard/miui/backup
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
ahh, thanks. not sure how i missed that folder - lol
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Hey guys im on the east coast in Maryland, anybody know what is the best modem for cell signal with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
I haven't heard much about that area but I can suggest KC1 & JL3. They work the best up here (NY), IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
$175.00 early term fee.... sucks you're stuck with an iPhone :-(
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
does it work with other roms too?

does teh stock kernel have voodoo? or shud i flash to another one?

dont really want to overclock though

any reccomends?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
?

So to clarify, there is a version that fixes bad battery drain for Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
no, its a miui built-in backup/restore utility
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Interesting, but maybe the Galnet version is able to give the same battery performance as the I9000? Let us know! I'll give it a go as well :)
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
guess not till cm7 fixes it but better with neo 17 r7 kernel for me.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
Stock kernel doesn't support voodoo color fix but there are several kernels with voodoo color fix support like glitch, talonmtd, neo.. you don't have to over clock with those kernels.. it's all your choice..
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Just flashed Galnet Chameleon RC1 MIUI, for Cappy, and it's WICKED. Super smooth with TalonMTD 0.0.2, and battery drain is fixed. People are reporting getting well over 30 hours with moderate use. Also, has support for full HD recording. I believe there's plans to implement TV out as well, based on miuiandroid.com's Stable 2.3.5a, which has it.

[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Well man, a little late but I wish you the best. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
The i9000 galnet miui uses Gingerbread bootloaders.

Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Thanks for sharing. I'll flash it as long as I finish downloaded it.

I am having very bad internet connection now... :mad:

Can this be flashed straight on top of MIUI ROM now? I mean with factory reset/clear dalvik etc.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Galnet Miui with Gingerbread guide from http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum/index.php?topic=641.0

PLEASE NOTE: It is not a requirement to change bootloaders, but if you wish to have better battery life then it is recommended.

!!THIS IS FOR THE GALAXY S CAPTIVATE I897 ONLY!!

Files required:

•I897 AT&T GB Bootloader click to download

•Lippols Kernel cleaning Script click to download

•I897 Twooey Kernel click to download

Step 1

Download ALL the packages listed above and copy Lippols kernel cleaning script and the Twooey kernel to the root of your phones internal SD Card.

Step 2

Execute the OneClickI897UCKF1-Bootloaders file

Step 3

Switch off your phone and boot into download mode (Volume down + Volume Up + Plug in USB). Once it is detected by your PC, click start.

Once it has successfully flashed, unplug the USB cable and pull the battery out of your phone.

Step 4

Replace the battery and then boot into Recovery mode.

Flash Lippols kernel cleaning script, followed by the I897 Twooey kernel.

Once those steps have been completed, reboot your phone.

You are now successfully running Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone!
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
After finish doing the steps above, I can flash the MIUI Galnet ROM zip already?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Yes, following those steps puts Gingerbread bootloaders on the Captivate. Then flash Galnet Miui.

I am too lazy to try all of that right now =)

--Important Edit:

Make sure to read plenty about using Gingerbread bootloaders, I might be wrong but you can JF6 odin back to Stock Froyo bootloaders without issue, just make sure to read and know what to do.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I already on Captivate Gingerbread Bootloaders a long time ago(I am very sure about this because I am coming from UCKF1).

So, I'll skip the GB Bootloaders flashing step, I suppose.

Then, I'll flash the Ultimate Kernel Cleaner Script and flash the Toowey Kernel.

After that, reboot the phone again into CWM. Flash the MIUI Galnet ROM.zip.

Correct?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
That looks about what I'd try being in your situtation. Nandroid backup and download jig just to be safe!
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
What do you mean by "Download Jig"?

So, you're using MIUI Galnet ROM also? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Download jig, three 100K Ohm resistors in series and a cut up micro usb cable, there is a post on here with more details.

And no, I am too lazy to backup, Odin to JF6 and give Gingerbread bootloaders and Galnet miui a try.

[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Hey what themes are you guys using for the gingerbread style icons in the status bar?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
On MIUI Galnet Version already.

Now, tweaking it to match my liking.

I smell it's battery will be slightly better... LOL. :p

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Perhaps when I hit the weekend, I'll try the full backup to Laptop, Odin to JF6 and master clear, then try Gingerbread bootloaders and Galnet miui.

I look forward to your battery use stats Fate-Silver.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
It doesn't have default browser that bundled with MIUI ROM.

I am going to pull the apk file from default MIUI ROM and see if it works in Galnet MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
galnet = bootloop for me. FOllowed everything and then did it again flashing to JF6/
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I think a more proper way than the original Galnet MIUI tutorial is(because there's a lot of users report the Galnet MIUI version is not workable most of the time):

1.) Get Odin 1 Click to UCKF1(Captivate GB Bootloaders inside). Flash it to your phone. Now, your phone have Captivate GB Bootloaders already together with a workable ROM.

2.) Get a 3rd Party Kernel(like TalonDEV, DarkCore, Snail, etc) and flash it to your phone. Turn off your phone.

3.) Get into CWM. Flash Prototype's MIUI ROM 1st.

4.) After flashing, let it boot finish(let things settle).

5.) Then, reboot into CWM. Flash the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script and then, flash the Toowey Kernel.

6.) Reboot into CWM again. Wipe Factory/Reset Default 1st. Flash the Galnet MIUI ROM.

7.) Reboot. Done.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
To what extent does flashing galnet wipe your phone? Would it delete files on SD, or just erase things on miui part? Plus what would be a good way to back everything up, tibu, miui backup, or what? Are you guys receiving better battery from this?

This is what you meant for the odin 1 click right? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Nope. Not the one you shown. I already mentioned above, it's together with a working ROM. The link above is for "ONLY BOOTLOADERS".

If you use the one you shown above, you'll stuck in a bootloop.

Tested.

Odin 1 Click to UCKF1 ROM(with Captivate GB Bootloaders inside) is this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I flashed galnet and all I did was format system and cache and wipe dalvik. However the install formats system and cache already.

I had backed up Miui with the included backup app and of course used titanium backup for my apps.

When I booted up all settings and apps where already there....no wipe basically.

No evaluation yet, seems smooth just been 10 minutes though.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
GB Bootloaders immediately sends my phone into a bootloop everytime.

oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Look at this, this might help!
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I just couldn't find that one, but thank you for the link! Will that Odin 1 click wipe anything, and to what extent?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
file missing sorry...
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
try this. you need odin ver. 1.82 to do this. Won't wipe anything. Thanks to jesus_c ;)

Boot loader file : http://db.tt/zJXhS7W
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Bootloaders, get your bootloaders here...
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
If you use Odin 1 Click to STOCK Eclair(with Stock Bootloaders), this will be like the exactly SAME but it'll make you to STOCK Gingerbread(with GB Bootloaders).
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I am not sure if this battery life is count as OK.

2 Hours++ of idling(plus some screen touching sometime), I got minus 2% for battery only by using the setup as my signature below.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Mcord, we will all miss you, you have helped me and many others plenty of times, and i want to take the time to say thanks for all of us together cuz when we needed help, u just threw out the answer! Thank you a lot!
[Captivate Android Development] Bazinga_:
How can I go back to stock Eclair/Froyo from MIUI?

So far I have tried all the possible methods to go to download mode but I can't get into download mode.

I have even tried AIO toolbox but nothing helps.

my command prompt is not able to detect the device, even though it is connected and in debug mode.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
No need wait for Debugging Mode, etc. It doesn't really work for MIUI ROM.

Solution:

Turn on your Odin 1 Click in AIO Captivate Toolbox 1st. How to go? Click "Flash to Stock" > "1 Click(Recommended)". Your Odin 1 Click turned ON already.

Turn off your phone. Pull and insert back the battery out to make sure it's completely turned off.

Press Volume Up + Down and HOLD THEM. Then, plug in the USB Cable(which connected to your PC). It'll turn your phone into Download Mode.

Wait until the Odin 1 Click recognize the phone(a box will turn yellow). Click START immediately.

The flashing will start and all you need is WAIT(until it boot into a workable android desktop). :)
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Tested the Galnet MIUI ROM.

BATTERY SUPERB!

But...

a.) Mini bugs like some applications randomly FCing when I was going into Market.

b.) Major bugs like LAGGING LIKE HELL when connected to WiFi.

c.) No Ad-remover built-in. :p

Rolling back to Prototype159's MIUI ROM for maximal stability 1st. :)
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
Were you using heimdall at all? Once I started using it, odin wouldn't recognize my phone but heimdall would work just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Bazinga_:
I have never tried heimdall before. but question here is I can't even go to download mode. I even downloaded the app Root ToolBox Pro and tried going in Download mode but it is also not working. FML :(
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
This is not a problem actually.

It's more a Computer/Computing Skills thingy here.

You'll need to remove all* Captivate Drivers when changing to either Odin or Heimdall. So, then, the PC will only recognize it(all over again) correctly.

And you'll also need to install drivers again too. Odin will usually need something like Samsung Kies with it's driver inside.

Heimdall will more or less need the Zadig driver.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Have you actually tried my solution a page before this?

If you haven't, please do it. Link here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066885&page=703

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Bazinga_:
nothing is happening after pulling out the battery and inserting the cable. all dead. does that mean I need JIG? or is there any other way?
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
how do you check which bootloader you have?
[Captivate Android Development] Bazinga_:
Yes I already did and it doesnt seem to be working as It is not detecting the drivers.

Look at this
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
try downloading samsung kies and installing the drivers
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
If device drivers are not being installed, search on (edit, the web for) device manager show hidden non-present devices. Right click each and uninstall, then restart. Now install your choice of drivers and reconnect the phone.

Fate-Silver, that battery life is about what I was expecting. I get the same great stand-by time with disabling data. I'll wait for AT&T's Gingerbread captivate source to make it into Miui.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
hmm anyone exp lag ? i get ir every now and then and also random program foreclosures
[Captivate Android Development] sk4lin3gtr:
can't thank the devs enough for this awesome rom. still can't get GPS to become reliable though. I can get a lock, but it will keep on dropping and reacquiring.. I've tried different modem and kernel combos and various "fixes" including h3llfire's. anyone had luck getting the GPS to be more stable? currently using platypus' kernel and KC1 modem
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
I use GPSTest. You basically start it before starting your navigation software. You run the app, hit menu then Start, and wait till you start seeing a list of coordinates populating. Then Home out of the app and start your navigation. It pretty well keeps a GPS lock on all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] Freka:
Hey Everyone,

I followed all the steps from Galnet and installed the bootloaders and everything but now it just boots straight into recovery... How can I fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Known problem for the greatly flawed(troll) tutorials on Galnet MIUI Site.

Do not follow it. It sucks! It doesn't work for everyone(some can make it though).

Follow this page, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066885&page=702

I already write on how to do it properly...
[Captivate Android Development] Freka:
Edit: Nvm.

Got it working, thanks a lot dude!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Agreed. GB has so far been a big step backwards to what the developers where able to get our of Froyo. Still early and I'm sure there are more priorities but hopefully they will get it ironed out too. I can get it to work a good part of the time, but just not solid enough to run with like I was use to. ROM is too darn cool to give up though.

I would like to try it for sure.

But, I am not sure if that's for Captivate or other models...?

EDIT: Trying it now. Will report about it later.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
I'll give it a try since it's easy to do.

will report back.

edit. Copied the sidekick.apk from that link and changed permission, rebooted. Will reset battery monitor.. let's see how it works..
[Captivate Android Development] jlo20431:
Noob question (: What do you mean when you say you changed permissions? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I too will see what this does!
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Download and put the SideKick.apk to your SD Card.

Use Root Explorer(or whatever similar) to copy and replace it to the old SideKick.apk in the sytem/app.

After that, in the Root Explorer(or whatever similar), you'll have an option to change the permission of the new SideKick.apk(you just replaced).

Tick all stuffs(easiest way). Done. Reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
with root explorer, long press on the file, press permissions, you will see a pop up with 9 check boxes. Just change them to..
