And lo... flashing back to stock fixed me :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Pretty sure this was asked, or there's an answer some place but I'm on the way out.

With the i9000 miui thread, and this captivate specific thread: What is the better cause to donate to?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
@task

I switched to on demand kernel. I felt my battery was doing like a stone on smart ass
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I had a bunch of apps force close after I downloaded them from the market. Did a factory reset through recovery, and now everything seems to be working perfectly. Thank you once again prototype for this rom:)
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
alright cool. you have a fixed one or are they all fixed on his thread now?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I fixed it, will post in a couple
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Flashed up from RC7b. Had a couple of FC's on a couple apps, just reinstalled them and all is good. This new version is really fast; as I was doing a batch from TiBu, it really flew through them. Much faster than any Miui version before. I imagine the new CM7 upgrades helped.

Google Voice is up and running great, ditto on the SMS "-" issue. Haven't been on it long enough to know what battery drain looks like

This one looks like a keeper Proto.

Thanks for the great work!!
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
You know the MIUI-specific Backup app is much faster than TiBu - you don't have to confirm each install. Just an FYI in case you were not aware.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
If you buy the premium version, you don't have to confirm.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Cell signal strength

Anyone noticing a lot more up and down of the cell signal strength? I'm getting a lot more up and down than I used to...this dates back at least a couple of releases and may not even be ROM related...just trying to figure out.

--Edit--

I've tried re-flashing modems and have tried all the various available modems.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Have a drink on me, yeah

ACDC ringing in my head...here you go Proto, just a lil something to say thanks bro: 82K020410S5854638

Same here. Sometimes I lose all signal and struggle to get it back. started maybe a eel our so ago
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
what is the advantage of this CM7_CAPPY_platypus-kernel_20110511_r0_quorra-r8_ondemand.zip? better battery?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I know about that one. I actually didn't use the built on one, I thought there 'could' be an issue going from 2.3.3-2.3.4 so I opted to use TiBu instead.

Thanks though

[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
exactly what its about. going to try it out later today.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
so here i am wondering about all this talk about google voice working. is everyone talking about google talk? because i was using google TALK on the last build perfectly. video worked no problem. now i go to make a video call and it just force closes. any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Some say yes others say no
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
naw, Google Voice was the one FC'g...it was usable unless you tried typing a name out in the To box...#'s were fine...just couldn't use letters.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
OK, good to know I'm not the only one. I was hoping the several drops (in it's case though) my phone endured over the past couple of weeks was not to blame.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
I feel like the last two releases have had so many issues... Anyone else agree?
[Captivate Android Development] lmaoxlong:
Hi, I feel really stupid for asking, but is there a way to turn off the beep and vibrate that comes on right after your call connects, and disconnects as well? I've been looking for a solution, but with no avail. Thanks.

MIUI 1.7.29
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I feel there is really more issues with which version this is based off of. Only issue I'm seeing with miui. US version is theme application when selecting online tab.

Just my opinion.....
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Menu button in the phone app, settings and look for call tones. Cannot remember the exact place/wording but you get the general idea.
[Captivate Android Development] vazovskiiii:
2 question

1. there is only 3 icon in the dock can i have 4 ?

2. i have FC when i'm trying to enter in ringtone? any suggestions?

Google maps is known to cause battery drain with gingerbread

[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I've been trying to figure this out for awhile and there is nothing i found in that menu that corrects it. I always get the vibrate when the other party answers.

Also, I've been forever trying to figure out how to enable haptic feedback on the phone but controlling the intensity of haptic feedback. I see on and off only. Cyanogen has a separate menu to change the time of the feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Can someone confirm this?

I need some confirmations... :(

I am starting to leave it out to test as I do not really use it much

There is a thread under android software development dedicated to maps and gingErbread battery drain. I'm about to flash.22 back .29 has rebooted on it's own more than I recall with any previous versions. I get 2-3a day no oc/uv

[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I delete google maps from my phone every time I put a ROM on my phone. Google maps and phone navigation is pretty weak anyway. I have real gps that came with my car. Or the over the counter garmin portable gps will always be better than any phone gps anyway because is one unit dedicated to doing one task "navigating" so it does it well. When you try to make a phone multi task things like navigation and maps it's usually poor performance. I think the manufacturers only put maps and navigation on phones just as a selling point, but getting them to work properly and to be accurate like dedicated gps....good luck. Thats why I always delete if from my phone...and yes it drains the hell out of your battery, because it's always working in the background even if your go to manage apps and turn it off, it will self activate whenever there is an update from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
I just freeze mine using tibu I'm a navy recruiter so it helps when I can't find a place to have maps. But I definitely see where you are coming from.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I've been freezing/deleting maps since v5.5. Been using an old version (5.2) if I need it.

For those with battery drain, install a monitor app (os monitor, system panel, etc) and take note of messaging.
[Captivate Android Development] shinigammi:
lol

have many bugs, i return to 1.22
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
I recently updated - and I haven't had any issues so far (other than themes not being updated to current version)

Battery life is still so-so, and GPS is still the same dubious dog it's always been (which that has been HUGE discussions over so I won't go into it.)

Otherwise phone seems to do what I want it to - check email, fb, read, make calls, and text.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Trying the galnet version. They are touting some ridiculous battery life. Will report. Version requires gb boot loaders
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Would tht b I9000 or I897 gb bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
They have a captivate specific version. Im guessing you can use captivate GB BL with it. Don't quote me. I'm going to give it a whirl now on Cappy GB BL and will report back.
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
It is true Gmaps wont stop running in the background unless you fc it from the app manager it will start running again if you reboot ur phone ..

I am using captivate gb

Too early to really report, but battery appears the same so far
[Captivate Android Development] sifulee:
I'm having the same problem when trying to change any of my sound options and theme. Anyone have a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] hernan078:
i cant access the online theme section it force closes on me when i try to view a theme, any fix?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Tried to disable the Google Maps and disabled Telocation Provider.

No battery life increment for my device.

But, it's OK as the latest Platypus Revolution Neo 09 Redux V5 Kernel does it job well.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
For those that can't set notification sounds and stuff (My themes app doesn't FC, it just leaves the sound as Silent no matter what I choose), try using Rings Extended from the market to select sounds. It lets you use Root Explorer to pick the ringtones as well which is a plus. And FYI, default notification sounds are in system/media/audio.

I was liking what I saw on MIUI so far but having a silent notification ringtone was killing me and was about to switch back to Serendipity 7 before I remembered about this app.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
What is the stock modem for 7.29? JK4?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Thanks! JJW2 is giving me problems
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Depends.... I know miui.us comes with jl3
[Captivate Android Development] wpp105:
+1 with issue

Lots good in this Rom. Although I may change the launcher and add the stock browser.

One other note, the flip clock is stuck in 24hour time format.
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
What kernel did you use? Do you have to use CM7/MIUI kernels only or because it uses GB bootloaders, you can use other kernels?
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
I tried miui.us version earlier this week to see if it corrected problems,and using it w/stock kernel, I only replaced the modem with jw2. I have had no issues other than online themes. I'm thinking the problems might be the miui.android version. Everything seems to be translated to English better also. My battery seems as good as any Samsung rom. Just my experience, I thought I would share. :-)

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
U said ur using captivate gb bl right or I9000?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
It seems some people have problem in understanding the kernel vs the bootloaders.

Kernel is kernel.

Bootloaders is bootloaders.

In general, not related. So, don't mess them up.

MIUI or CM7 ROM can only use CM7/MIUI based Kernels(like Platypus, Glitch, Escapist) only.

If you install other kernels on them, you might not able to boot into MIUI/CM7 ROMs already.

And, MIUI/CM7 ROMs do not need you to have GB Bootloaders(either i9000 based or SGH-i897 based) in your device to install at all.
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
For all those who have maps as a battery hogger download a application in market called autostart it disable apps during startup after start up. And other variables is what I use. It's a paid application but definitely worth the 2 bucks.

Also I have gotten very good battery with that and neo 12 test kernel

Will post up screenshots in a bit as I use it more
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
My feelings exactly and my experience exactly.

I'm running Eclair bootloaders....

I used i897-GB bootloaders before but a friend experienced issues with the external sd card no always mounting. MOving to Eclair Bootloaders resolved the issue.

With all that said... I'm anxious for tomorrows release.
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
Here is my stats without google maps using autostart from my previous post
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Question: Which would you rather I use, miuiandroid.com or miui.us?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think most would answer whoever gets their build out first ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
True.

I rather have the build with less issues, and lately miuiandroid.com versions have kinda been crappy.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It is the translation packs. I know mark is doing it himself, I wonder if miui us has more hands working on it.

and like you said, some of these issues are build specific but is mark receiving that feed back

I agree though, miui us has been more consistent

As of late
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Just switched over to the Galnet MIUI Captivate version. The stock kernel isn't as smooth as the one. However, when I checked my battery details, it actually goes to sleep. With MIUI, it would be awake nearly all the time, but with Galnet the "Awake" time and "Screen on" are aligned with one another.

I tried taking a screenshot but I can't find where the image saves to show this =/
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Screen shot is broken on galnet. Running it myself, not sure I see improvement but it is still early to say
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I think you know my answer Proto....

From my perspective..... Miui.us decompiles the roms and does the changes needed.... then recompiles it fresh. This is the best way to make changes and keep the stability users need. Translations are done within. No language packs.... IDK.... I just feel they take more pride in how they do their work. Even including the extended power menu was a nice extra touch.

I have made a modded .US version with your tweaks and added the status bar mod along with BVJJW2 modem and have handed it out via PM to a couple handfuls that asked. They all had issues with miuiandroids version and the only issue that remained after was the theme app which we all know is a MIUI wide problem.

Complete list will be released on Friday.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I agree that the miui.us version should be used as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
miui.us has captivate ROM download too, i'm confused, is that the same ROM as in OP?
[Captivate Android Development] wpp105:
Another issue noticed. Compass is 90 default off in Google maps, and just wiggles a bit in the compass app.

-W
[Captivate Android Development] El Wiseguy:
Interesting. I flashed the 1.7.29 ROM along with Glitch 11 HL yesterday. Everything went great but I noticed that when I watched some videos on Youtube about it everyone had a Compass. I didn't get a compass. lol I know this seems really childish to bring up but now I'm just wondering if I did everything right.

Bear in mind I flashed directly to the 1.7.29 rom and didn't have any other versions previously. I just came from Andromeda 3 (which was great but grew unstable after a couple of months of use, I had disappearing home screen).
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
change log is up on miui.us. Android 2.3.5 !!! woooo freakin hooo:D!! update sounds like a good one.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Prototype isn't doing these anymore right? If not I think I'll stop updating and keep my phone at 7.22, the 7.29 had too many issues and I'm sure without today's release will have issues as well.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
:eek: he's not?! did i miss something?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'm still doing them...
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I don't know...it took him a long time to post last weeks update and I read a post where someone said that they hoped he would come back soon. So I'm not sure...I also don't see him posting much anymore as well. I could be totally wrong on this too.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Looks like there may be some delays this week. The miui.com links are get 404 error
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Lol his pc was being worked on which is why he didn't post the update until late.

Laptop was being repaired (which I posted about several times). Which is why mcord took over for me until I got it back.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Oh, sorry man I didn't mean any harm I just didn't know...that's what I get for not reading I guess. Glad to see your back though!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You should be sorry ;)
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Yeah I know...lol, i feel like a dirt bag...or worse the enquirer magazine....lol telling lies about the celebs all the time. Sorry man:(
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Whew!!!!:p:D lol
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
He doesn't see you around, so, he started to imagine. :p

djfrost40,

LOL. Don't be sad.

Anyway, MIUI.US have the MIUI 1.8.5 released already? I saw the changelog...

Maybe Protoype159 will need to start work on it soon. LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Yeah I know. It was more like nightmare...lol, I don't want to use the miui.us version because it will be missing all of the cool tweaks. I can wait, hopefully the theme is fixed and all of the fc's are gone...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's going to be awhile since the MIUI servers are having some issues.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Take your time bro, no need to rush, if you rush you might miss something...at least that's how it works for me. If I'm working on a mix and I don't plan what i'm going to put in the mix in advance it comes out sounding like crap. Each mix I do tells a story because I carefully pic artist and the tracks that I plan to use, by the time I'm done it's not just a dj mix of some random artist and musc but a work of art!!
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
So Galnet from the I9000 version now has GB bootloaders working with the latest MIUI. He does have Cappy support but its more of an afterthought. I'm currently running it now (with I9000 GB bootloaders :P) and it seems pretty good but I'm wondering if there's any plans to look into bringing us full Cappy support for GB bootloaders from prototype and his team?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am running the galnet version as well and tbh, allot of boasting but as far as I can tell no real improvement over standard miui versions. Op on galnet web says 2 days with 48% left. All due respect but after a days use I call complete bs.

To answer your question though. Neo 9v5 redux kernel by zach supports gb boot loaders. There is a captivate version.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hahahaha....it's just me.

I'm not a developer like galnet, I'm not even a developer. I'm just adding certain tweaks (which are not made by me) to the rom.

You can use Captivate bootloaders with MIUI (people already have) and you will not have any issues. Nor will you see any improvements. Those will have to be done by the CM7 team.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
@miuirom: Hey guys, you'll see English added in MIUI 1.8.5. Many thanks to Mark's great work! @miuiandroid

Mcord, were you able to download it yet?
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
So... Are we using miui.us version this time??

«[If it helps hit than✘]» ت
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Have not tried yet
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I don't know yet.

I don't see a link for it yet.
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
I say lets try it! :)

Update doesn't show on the updater app either ..

«[If it helps hit than✘]» ت
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The reason is because:

Mark of miuiandroid.com is currently working with MIUI to include English translations into the rom officially. 1.8.5 has some English in it, doesn't look like it's fully translated. So basically the need of miui.us or miuiandroid.com will be obsolete soon. That means we will have OTA updates, no need to download the full rom, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
What is the full address for miui.us?
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
No I realize that there is a Cappy version by Galnet (I'm on it right now) what I was wondering if this project was planning on getting GB bootloaders working. And yeah it think its a little boastful saying 48% after 2 days but it seems like battery life is a bit better as well as its more stable for me so far.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
via @miuiandroid it looks like they are gettin close. download available for 2 phones.:)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There is a kernel available that allows for the gb boot loaders that can be used on this version, although captivate boot loaders work without
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
niiiiiiiceee:D this rom just keeps getting better!
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
what is a galant version ?
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Yahh i would rather have the better version, and wait instead of having a lesser version!
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
If you can't wait the I9000 bootloaders provided by Galnet work on the Captivate. I'm running them right now and so far the only discernable difference is that the Recovery/Download Mode key combos are the I9000's not the Captivate's (Vol Up+Home+Power and Vol Down+Home+Power respectively)
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Waiting and standby for MIUI 2.3.5 v1.8.5 @ XDA. :p

Faster! Faster! LOL!

Anyway, I want to ask will the 3500mAh Battery like this, http://www.dinodirect.com/samsung-i897-battery-mobile-power-station-3500mah.html

help in better or longer battery life?

I also want to ask that, with this battery, will it affects my GPS Signal?

I heard the backplate(backcover) of Captivate plays an important role for GPS Signal because the 3500mAh Battery will need a different backplate(backcover). Can anyone confirm these stuffs? :(
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Have you checked to see if your external sd is visible?
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
where did you download it from?
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:

[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Yes, the MIUI 1.8.5 was released just now.
