Modem for GPS

Yeah that link worked good, thanks. The reason I wanted to try a different modem was to see if I could get this god forsaken GPS to actually tell me where the hell I am on a map. No luck on the GPS. Any tips? I have had the GPS actually working on other ROM's at least for a bit... so I know it can.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Hope some one can add cause mine sucks on gb too. I for think modems change it, try gps aids from the market....worth a shot.

Wish I had more, someone may....mine still sucks for the most part but is almost usable at times.

Since ur on galnet rc3 too, do you know if you can flash any kernel over it. Because there's no voodoo color with the kernel provided. I would assume you could flash any kernel, but i just want to make sure.

Yes

The NEW Galnet MIUI Chameleon RC3 said to have BETTER BATTERY LIFE due to the SAMSUNG BATTERY MANAGEMENT thingy integrated.

I have flashed it just now. Will report back my battery drainage later.

But, it seems promising, because I hardly minus a percent of my battery meanwhile.

Yeah, for the longest time I didn't know what that option meant, but it's handy. Once you open t.b. just hit the menu key,then the "more" option, then you see "create update.zip" I choose the option to name it the titanium........ option,so as not to overwrite my c.w.m.update.zip. then you can flash it in recovery mode. :-)

Off the top of anyones head, does anyone know of a BLN enabled MIUI kernel they are currently using?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I am already using Captivate Gingerbread Bootloaders for a long time.

Yes, Galnet MIUI ROM have slightly better battery life compared to Prototype159's MIUI ROM or the Original MIUI ROM. But, NOT MUCH.

Currently, I am using Galnet MIUI Chameleon RC3 with Neo 17 R11 Kernel and V51 Script as well as V6 SuperCharger Script. UVed and freezed some applications in TIBU too. Modem = i9000UGKC1.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
1stly, take note that BLN is not LED Notification. But, both of them have around the similar functions.

There's no kernel for MIUI ROM is using BLN.

Or I would say BLN haven't been ported completely to MIUI ROM.

Meanwhile, we have only LED Notification supported kernels only. It works similar to BLN like I mentioned above.

Stock GUI from Samsung based ROMs are all good. Standard, non-fancy, conceptual.

But, Custom Samsung based ROMs have been modified heavily. Not only the system, I/O, etc. But, the GUI as well. Due to the artistic modification, the GUI turns... ... .... ...... (I know this might be offensive)

Frankly, I can't blame them as well, because they are not "real designer", while the Team MIUI have "real UI designers" for their ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Pretty Vs. Practicality

Gimmicky? I say downright repulsive. Never mind the ROMs with customized themes, the stock GB look itself is rubbish compared to MiUI.

And this is exactly what's tearing me apart. Looks or battery performance? :(

I can't get more than 8-10 hours with MIUI. I know it's a CM7 thing but... this... this is just sad to say the least.

Do not misunderstand me when I say this but this is crippling-battery-power-dilemma is reason enough for me to want to go back to Serendipity. :(

8-10 hours on a full charge? I even tried UV (pimp my cpu + glitch) resulting in not more than 14 hours max. Man, I faacking love MIUI but right now it just seems impractical to continue with it.

It's like having the prettiest, sexiest, awesomest sports car ever which also happen to have the worst mileage ever. :(

I really hope there's a breakthrough with this power-issue or otherwise it'd be just sad. So very, very sad. :(

freeze it via TiBu. You might be able to also remove the apk file if you dont have TiBu pro, but I haven't tested that so I dont know if that will work.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I hear you all regarding Miui vs. Samsung roms. I was on Miui for a week straight and it was honestly the best rom I have ever tried. Smoothest, fastest, and I was getting 18 hrs easily on a charge. But I had to try out the kh3 roms. Just flashed last night and happy so far. I'm at 12 hrs and batt is at 77%! So that's good. Fit and finish may not be quite as polished as Miui, but it's fine by me. If we were the type to stick on 1 rom we wouldn't be addicted to xda, in my opinion. May be back, may not be, flashing IS an addiction after all, am I right?

The reasons for MIUI ROM:

a.) Beautiful

b.) Features

The reasons for Samsung based Custom ROMs:

a.) Battery

b.) Slightly better in some applications.

Now, I am thinking to flash Fusion III ROM. I heard it have the best battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Link to Fusion III, sir?

And have you tried Serendipity VII btw?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Link here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233979

I've tried a few other Samsung Gingerbread based Custom ROMs. But, not Serendipity VII B2. It's due to it's very old already compared to most of them now.

Basically, tested Mosaic, ApeX, Continuum, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] jlo20431:
I tried the fusion 3 rom for two days and immediately went back to miui. The battery life was great, but compared to miui it was a bit slow and sluggish and obviously didn't have the visual appeal. If you want battery life tho, its definitely the way to go.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
In an effort to keep this thread clean, can we move the MIUI vs Fusion III discussion elsewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
LOL. Although we're discussing it a little... but, we're still in love with MIUI because of it's other advantages and features.

So, I don't think there'll be stains here due to our MIUI vs Fusion III mini discussion. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
Can you install fusion on top of miui ??
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
No.

Because Fusion III ROM is RFS File System based.

MIUI/CM7 ROMs are usually YAFFS File System based.

And it needs Captivate Gingerbread Bootloaders.

Lately I have been having excessive battery drain on MIUI roms. It hasn't mattered what version I flashed. I have run Proto's package, MIUI.us, and even the straight Chinese version (that was fun... for a minute). Checking any and all logs... I have narrowed the culprit to the calendar sync.

I use Enhanced Email and whenever I sync Exchange Calendar... it NEVER stops sync'ing and my battery pays the price. I could disable background data or uncheck calendar sync... but that is not a long term solution. Here is the fix... pretty simple... (should have thought of this earlier... stupid me)

Settings---Programs Tab---Manage Applications---All Tab---Calendar Storage

------>>> CLEAR THE DATA<<<-------

Re-enable the exchange calendar sync and let it re-sync... problem solved and battery drain is gone now. Whew...

heres a shot in the dark. but what you could try is. get back into recovery, format system, data, and cache. reflash MIUI and when its done go directly back to install zip and flash kernel again. seems like whenever i run into issues reflashing a kernel will do the trick. you could try and see. i won't hurt anything.
