Just wondering if there is a way to take a screenshot with out the volume bar appearing. I hold down the vol + & - button and press menu, but everytime I press the vol + & - button the volume box / bar appears at the top of the screen and is also in the screenshot capture.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Use one of the free apps from the market
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Screenshot is just volume down + menu button.

Hold down the menu button and then press the volume down button, in that order, and you won't get the volume popup.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
That doesn't work for me, when I hold down the menu button I get the keyboard pop up. I've found it's a fine line between pushing both buttons quickly to get the right shot, experiment!

yeah. u gotta do it quick.
[Captivate Android Development] :
All I do is hold down menu, and then press volume down. It takes a screenshot and nothing pops up.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
That's what I been doing wrong. I was pressing volume first.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah......

I think the battery drainage bug is due to "Use Wireless Networks".

I'd disabled it and now my battery drainage stopped. I got a very decent battery life now. :D
[Captivate Android Development] :
I never had a use for it, so I always turned it off, but yeah the guys in the Galnet forums said this too.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
i'm just curious. I hear everyone talk about taking screenshots. what is everyone taking so many screenshots of?? lol - I think I had the need to take a screenshot once....ever...

Does anyone know of a good app drawer application I could use instead of making a folder?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
eventho u install an appdrawer, all the apps on desktop(?) will be there anyways.. just make a folder and put all apps in there and move it to dock.

Edit. here's a link to altdrawer for you if you want to try.

You can use a different launcher, I don't know of an application that give you just an app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
actually, i think there is but I cannot find it right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
To my knowledge there isn't an app that just does that alone. A new launcher is probably you best bet. I took the folder route myself.

Anything big on the horizon?

[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I had to test it first, uploading now.

Good news: Data stays on after reboot. Airplane mode on boot is gone.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
curious...with this update include the removed 'telocation.apk' and those battery saving changes that were discussed earlier? I know that Galnet had decided to remove that stuff in their next release but I dont know if MIUI did it on their version.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Thanks. Waiting for the file now.

It's good to hear the Data and Airplane mode bugs are gone although I don't really mind about them. :p
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's still there. I frozed it earlier and my battery actually was worse after doing it. And it didn't seem for others to greatly improve the battery.

I know it used to be removed a long time ago (since the app is for Chinese users) but after they removed it they started to get issues and they re-added it (like when the ota was removed and caused theme manager issues). Not sure if that will happen again if we were to remove it.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
thanks for the info and for these tweaks! downloading now....
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Yup, running Galnet MIUI with it removed and can't say I notice a single bit of difference between this version and Galnet's in regards to battery life.

What gets me, is on the Galnet home page, they have a scroller and in one of them is an image of a Captivate running MIUI showing 4 days off charge. Talk about your false advertising. :D

Edit: Here it is.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Glad to see the fixes in this release.

Hopefully the wife will quit byotching about her sheet turning off.
[Captivate Android Development] M3drvr:
Here's a strange one. I just flashed the new rom, only way i can get passed the boot animation is if i don't have a custom kernel installed. I've tried 3 different platypus kernels, and a glitch kernel. Using the cleaner before installing each one. If i flash them, then reboot, it just hangs at the boot animation. I go reinstall the rom, don't install a kernel and it boots no problem. First time this ever happened to me....
[Captivate Android Development] :
After about two charge cycles, I see no improvement in my setup (Galnet/Platypus), and after two missed updates, I think I'm going back to regular MiUi.
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
they didn't even use my cappy template :C
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Same thing here. I can't get it past the boot animation after I flash a different kernel. And yes, I used the cleaning script as well.

hello everyone

Question about changelog........

Does this Proto's latest version(1.9.23) contains updated kernel????

No mention about kernel in Proto's changelog post BUT on miui.us changelog says about kernel upgrade in this version..... im confused...,......
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes, every update includes the new stuff posted in the changelogs on miui.us/miuiandroid.com. I don't post the whole changelog (I just make it smaller and only state any major changes). And the kernel pretty much gets updated every week.
[Captivate Android Development] syanz87:
Thanx.........
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I think it has something to do with upstream changes. This ALSO happened with CM7 and the three OC/UV kernels just causing boot loops. I know I read that the Glitch kernel put out a NEW kernel yesterday/last night that works again. I have two cappys, one with this miui and one with the latest nightlies.

I want to give MIUI a chance.

Currently I'm using I897 2.3 bootloader with Continuum.

Is it possible to flash the latest MIUI with my 2.3 bootloader?

What are the steps I should be taking to flash from Continuum, to MIUI? do I need to revert back to stock?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
two choices.

1. go back to stock then flash miui.

2. just flash miui over whatever rom you are on now.

Yes. you can use i897 GB bootloaders! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes those bootloaders will work (the i897 gingerbread) as my MIUI captivate has them. If I remember.correctly I had to download the rom and then go into cwm and factory reset/wipe data (probably for good measure or at least I always do wipe cache and dalvich cache too). Then choose to install from SD card, choose zip, scroll to the miui zip and click on it to install. MAYBE flash it a second time for good measure before redoing anything as of your settings.

So with this MAKE SURE you back up ANY of your apps you want with titanium backup before flashing.

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.5Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] embedded123:
Thanks, I will wipe all system data before flashing and of course will do titanium backup before all steps.

Is there any different flashing straight from Continuum 6.1 or from stock?
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
oldest trick in the book and it doesn't work...these new ROMs are just very fast and consume a lot of battery thats it...not math behind it or special formula. If you want a slow phone with ok battery life go back to stock. At the end of the day...it's just a phone...that's all ...a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
I had same layout as you with Cont.6.1. All I did is delete data/factory reset, cashe and dalvik cashe. I have been on MIUI since 1.8.19
[Captivate Android Development] xijar:
I run apex 9.3 currently and it is as smooth and fast if not better then miui ever was and battery life is way better. Not to say I don't prefer miui as a rom but it is just lacking in the battery department for this device.

Does anyone have a problem where they can't flash Neo r12 on the most recent MIUI without being stuck on the boot animation?

i kept the stock kernel. There was a kernel update for our phone so I'm going to leave that on there to see how it performs.

i'm going to try that suggestion that someone had about removing telocation file because android system is eating up more than 30% of the battery at this point. we'll see if it causes any problems, as proto thought it may do.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Don't forget to disable auto rotate and wifi assist(in my location) before you reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
By disabling all those useless applications like Telocation, Talk, VPN, Google Partner, OTA Updater, etc. And then, disable the "Use Wireless Networks". I've got pretty decent battery life when idling.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
If you notice your phone isn't going to sleep state, you can disable auto rotate. Had something to do with accelerometer.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
well, since deleting telocation and disabling 'use wireless networks' then rebooting .... android system went down to 9%
[Captivate Android Development] M3drvr:
Thats what i'm doing so far yes. My phone gets unusually hot with the stock kernel at 1.3 when using the phone for just browsing. Much warmer than with a different kernel. Other than that, everything works fine with it, so i'll stick with this release.
[Captivate Android Development] J-Wall:
How do i flash back to stock kernel? Does anyone have a .zip for it?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Here is the stock CM7 kernel from nightly #126 (changed as of nightly #123 or #124 if I remember correctly. This will automatically wipe dalvich and cache and install the stock kernel.

Freeze it if you're so worry about it. You can defrost it anytime.

Or copy out the TelocationProvider.apk from your ROOT to your SD Card 1st.

If your Captivate becomes unstable after that, copy it back to your ROOT.

i hate to say it but i am so effing sick of my capacitive buttons not working whenever a new kernel comes out. i see all the time people say that all they do to get the buttons to work again it turn the screen off and on. that has never worked for me. i guess ill just have to go back to some outdated kernel. it just sucks cause i really like miui . kernel worked for a bit but then i had to renoot to get the extended settings working and have not been able to get buttons to work for the last hour. sigh... very frusterating. cant wait til they fix this issue.:mad

Reverted back to 1.9.16, tethering works like a charm again.

So I guess the moral of this story is: Don't update if usb tethering is important to you.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I think I may skip this update. Tethering is unimportant to me. But the kernel part is important to me.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Yeah I'll definitely be skipping this one. Though I did manage to get the phone past the boot anim when I flashed Glitch v12b3 ML. It seems to play nicely with the latest version.

Unfortunately, until I get a wireless adapter for my compy or the tethering issue is fixed, I'm going to be stuck on 1.9.16 =\
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
It could give you a chance to try the latest glitch kernel as that works with today's MIUI release. I'm liking it :)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
My phone doesn't like glitch. Never has. I've tried all 3 (hl,ml,ll) and out just does not play well.
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
Yes..... Obviously. Anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] wpp105:
Figured out my compass issues. The compass finally worked if i turned GPS on with location assist. I would have thought that the compass would always work.

The compass signal on the captivate is very jerky. I'm sure that this is a reason for generally poor GPS tracking while driving. A few lines of code to average the compass reading to update only ever second would make it much more accurate. (A poor mans signal filter.)

Otherwise this last build of miui is getting really close to my everyday rom. A coffee may be in order

In regards to tethering not working, its not giving out dhcp addresses. Does anyone know if there is an APK that handles that part? What stinks is I am getting fantastic battery life right now. I am at 66% left with 1 hr and 43 minutes display usage.

I need tethering though! What about the tethering itself, is it controlled by an APK?
