Nowhere near bricked... But you have to follow directions now.

Flash either a 2.1 or 2.2 rom. The rom has to be 3 files. You need to flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zymphonyx:
Hi there, I've did try searching the forum regarding this issue. I still can't seem to turn the Auto Brightness Off, Whenever I set my brightness more than 0%(dim) the auto brightness just kicks in. Only at 0% and 100% then the auto brightness will not function. Only in values between 1% & 99%. Anybody had similar problems or have a fix to it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naitro90:
I have the opposite problem, i don`t know how to use the auto brightness feature, there is no such option in my screen brightness settings..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
Auto brightness was removed in the 2.1 update.

Hell knows why.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGH80:
Can someone please explain why a lot of my icons have turned from radioactive green to a more mustard sort of colour? Icons in question include the ones in the notification "power bar", all check-boxes throughout the system and all the status icons in gtalk to name a few.

SGS2 is completely stock, haven't modded anything at all yet.

See the attached pic. All the icons used to be bright green like the GPS one but after turning them off and then back on again they are now the colour of the sound and auto-rotate icons. If I were to press GPS to turn it off and then turn it back on again it would be the same colour as the other two.

Probably a simple answer but I haven't encountered this in all my years of using Android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGH80:
Well the murky green colour spread to my battery status icon as well so I decided to reboot and now all my greens are back to the correct shade. Very weird.

[Captivate Android Development] morgej:
Call recording?

Pretty sure I already know the answer, but I'll ask anyway b/c the 9.5 version of Darky's has it...

...is call recording enabled in this ROM?

i.e., has the necessary phone.apk with call recording been found in any of the Galaxy S leaked Gingerbread rom's?

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Good question, I guess because at First it was an i9000 only ROM and someone had to Port it for Captivate but now the Darky Team making the ROM to work also Cappy from the Start. Joel and his team do amazing work and I think Joel was even contacted by Samsung at one time to start to work for them but he didn't want to re locate to Korea.

I'm new to Darky ROMs but so far am loving it. Just want to know if the JVH V2 theme will be updated to look like the screenshots in post 6?
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Thanks for the review! Sadly another reason I'm going to wait before upgrading. I know some of you are likely to roll your eyes and think "what's the point of posting a comment like that"... Well hear me out:

I know the developmental progress of this rom and all GB roms depends on people willing to test it, but I really think we should title this rom as a beta. I don't think any GB rom should be considered anything other then still in it's beta stages. Currently I only see a few GB roms doing this.

I and many others may have been spoiled, but it seemed like in the past there was a lot more back end testing before roms were released to the XDA public. And I only say that because updates are coming out so fast that it doesn't seem possible that a week or so of testing was done. I could be wrong but I'm just putting it out there.

Please don't get me wrong I love all the work everyone is doing but I do worry about that noob that comes to this forum and brick their phone or is let down because of any GB rom's quality because they don't understand that GB development is still very much in its infancy.

We need to have some honesty here that if not all but most GB Rom are not at the same level of a well developed Froyo rom. Yes its true, no one said they were but as for most people, when your software version number go from 2.2 to 2.3 people automatically assume that this is upgrade. Not everyone on this development form is a developer so they simply do understand. And yes all upgrades typically have bugs I understand that, but we still need to label these GB rom at still betas. They should not be labeled as anything other then beta as they do not match the performance, quality, and features of the 2.2 rom

yet

. In my opinion at least...

I do not mean to start a fight or offend anyone I just think we need to take some responsibility as a community and improve our communication so all users understand what to expect. Bash me all you want, I just want to put it out there.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
there are plenty of warnings of what to do and not to in the OP's of the ROM's

there are bugs....but there are ROM's now that are based off the official I9K 2.3.3 ROM released in europe (JVO and JV9 iirc)

the only major bugs that I can think of is the battery draining issue if you leave your phoen plugged in @ 100%....otherwise IMO

its pretty stable for daily use

you just gotta be careful when you flash....I know where you're coming from cause froyo is "easier" to flash in a sense that it isn't as complex if you want to save your phone from a bad flash...and for GB you just have to make sure that you don't flash a 3 button combo and you're safe

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"the only major bugs that I can think of is the battery draining issue if you leave your phone plugged in @ 100%"

Concerning this, if you have your phone Off and it charges to 100% are you suppose to unplug or just when the phone is ON and it get 100% charge?

Thanks

why don't you try and report back?:p

Flashed it over the jvh v2 from the op. Was kinda stuck the first boot screen, vibrated randomly a couple times. I left the phone alone for about 20 minutes doing that and then I decided to pull the battery and turn it back on. This time the phone booted just fine. Been on it for about 3 hours now and it working like a champ. No random reboots, wifi works great. And it's also smooth like butter!

*edit*

Just wanted to add that I chose the skip modem and kernel options in the darky app and also used the captivate-fix, so that the phone shows up at i897 in the about phone screen, before flashing.

wrong links to files

Hello Rickysa

The links you offered for the Ficeto JVH are vice-versa (I9000 under captivate and vice versa):eek:

I downloaded and deployed and my I9000 started showing SGH-I897

Then I realized that the file I downloaded is marked as such.

Please change the links.

How long is Odin supposed to take flashing on the base JVH rom? Mine has been going for almost 30 minutes... I am started to get scared something is wrong.

EDIT: Almost pooped myself when I got into semi bricked mode. Use Odin 1.3 on Win 7x64 for best results. Had to dig up a guide on how to get into download mode with a semi bricked phone. Also Darky recommends that you take out your external sd card if you have one in and also your sim card for best results.

You should be able to flash from recovery no problem. Just do a wipe beforehand.
[Captivate Android Development] yahooserious:
Yes I did all the wipeing before and just flashed with CWM and restored with TiBu.

I was feeling ballsy so I restored everything inculuding user data and the phone is running very nicely. Maybe a few FC because of mt forced restore but If it gets bad I will just return to stock with wipes.

:-( Bricked my phone after ODIN

Ran the 1st step i,e ODIN part 'Ficeto_Deodexed_JVH_I897.tar' following the instructions to word. It finished in a flash, but is failing to re-boot. I just see a black screen now. None of the buttons work. Unable to go to recovery mode nor download mode to try again. I think I bricked my phone.

I have been on Darky's ROM for a long time now, and I never had such issues. Can someone please help. I love Darky's ROM and would like to resolve this and get the latest 10.1 .

Thanks in Advance.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Try pressing volume down + menu then power. Hold all three and see if you can get into download. If not, volume down + Home then power. It's really hard to brick these things. Thats what I did and it worked. Also, you may want to leave you battery out for a few moments before trying these.

Hope it helps and works out for you.

Did the truck for me!
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I've tried most of the other GB roms, but I just got to this one today.

Initial thoughts:

Install took a LONG time. That first boot after the base ROM was forever waiting. I heard the Initial Voodoo status, but it was a long time after that before I got through it. At least 10 minutes.

Everything else went smoothly.

I'm restoring my apps now, but I noticed some of the other noticeable issues with GB ROMs are not present with this (No blank screen on first call) . I also noticed the boot screen flips from the I9000 screen to the I897 screen. Nice touch.

Anxious to run this through some use!:)

Does the darkcore kernel have voodoo colour?

What about OC/UV support. What other kernels are available for JVH... I am considering a cm7 ditch.
[Captivate Android Development] Greatminds:
Thank you guys for quick reply. I was able to get into the download mode, and re-flash.

It was actually mu fault. I missed selecting the 'tar' file in the PDA section on ODIN. Everything is working fine now.

Once again, great job Darky and the team. Thank you so much.
