[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babo1453:
icezar's instructions are probably the most complete you'll ever see for a custom rom ----- by far the best and most thorough, just follow them.

Best I can say is to just start over - one click back to stock, download mode, then flash continuum (first one - bootloaders).

I let everything boot up and then move updates to sdcard.

Flash kernel you want - I like Talon's (I'm on test 13 I think - OC'd at 1.2 -50,-50,-50,-75,-75-75 - all tweaks disabled)

Flash update zips via recovery .... 5.4.1 ---- I usually wipe Dalvick just to be sure, though it does it on its own.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babo1453:
On stock from download - just hold down all of the buttons, if it goes to recovery (which it should), just select reboot.

On GB loaders, it's different for the key combos, but still manageable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowake:
I know exactly what you are going through. The instructions are very detailed. However, for those of us coming from 2.2 without having to understand Odin, the instructions are confusing. I think your confusion stems from there being multiple pit files. I have minimal knowledge of odin, but here is what I did to get GB Continuum from FF 3.0.

First off, I restored to stock using JV6 file without bootloaders per Icezar's link. I then downloaded each of the odin 1.3 rar files and extracted EACH (with 7zip) to a different folder. Then I ran the relevant odin file for each step.

Here is what I have gleaned from the process. The pit file in each rar is different, so normally you would select the relevant pit and pda file. The reason this worked without selecting the pit is because the pit and relevant pda were the only files in the directory as the instance of odin I ran. This may be wrong, but odin did not work if separated from the pit/pda.

Hope this helps because after tinkering with tweaks and UV settings I was at 40%battery after 1 day without charging.

I have found I can UV 1000/800 150, but 100/200 only by 50 & 400 by 75 before boot looping. However I kept io deadline and tweaks above that selection on. With rfs it has been smooth and fast. But sd write speed no matter what is slow... Have you had any luck?

Thanks guys. I'm waiting on a JIG I ordered this weekend before I try again. It sucks sticking resistors in trying to get dowload mode after a soft brick. Does anyone know the techincal reason my sd card wouldn't mount after I flashed the bootloaders and the talon 1.2 kernel? From what I am reading I just do the gb booloaders then install continuum from recovery as it contains a newer talon kernel. Fyi my build number is 1009.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subv3rsion:
So I did my upgrade tonight to Continuum 5.5. This time I had my JIG from MTV; thanks Josh! It made it a hell of a lot easier. I did the GB bootloaders and did a battery pull after ODIN 1.82 completed and the galaxy s screen came up. Then I installed the old talon 1.2 kernel which I'm not sure if I needed to do. This time it worked and I believe my error was in the video he doesn't un check the Auto Reboot; in the ROM post it said to un check it. After the kernel completed I did a battery pull. I used the volume up + power combo to hit recovery. I did a clear cache and D Cache. Then installed the ROM. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowake:
Good deal! Glad the jig worked for you. I have had an amazing battery life and modem/GPS functionality with 5.41 while keeping lagfix/extra 4 disabled.

Re: your 1.2 Q. Go to settings > about phone > kernel version. It should say 1.7 from the flashing of 5.5.

Hi guys, first-time poster here. This seems like a great community. I have a Droid 2, and recently installed Fission ROM on it. Love everything about it, except I can no longer access the built in motorola widgets, such as Text message, and toggle buttons for blue tooth, wifi, gps and airplane mode. Any way to get these back?

Edit: Appears I am also missing backup assistant, not fun having only 9 of my contacts available. I used Bootstrapper before installing the rom.

[General Questions and Answers] Erickomen27:
If I Remember Correctly, (I Am On A Thunderbolt) Fission Is A "Stock" Rom Meaning Moto Blur Is Gone, Meaning Motorola Widgets Are Gone
[General Questions and Answers] k_nivesout:
I think he's right, fission is AOSP-like so you're not gonna have the moto widgets. As for your contacts, I would be syncing them with your Gmail account that way whenever you switch roms/phones and sign in to your phone with your Google account, bam, you have all your contacts and apps. Also just fyi, I believe fission is no longer supported so I'd recommend trying a rom that is, i.e. liberty or apex.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
First off, i apologize for my noob questions but i would prefer to ask these before i mess with my phone. so here goes:

what's a kernel and what does it do?

same for modem (or are they the same)

what is the difference between odexed or deoexed and is there an advantage to one or the other?

what are some good ROMs for the SGS4G?

i'll post more as i think of them
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
I'll post this in pretty basic terms for ease of reading.

A kernel in general terms is what makes the phone run. It's the nuts and bolts. In linux you have different kernels and they all provide certain features. ROM's run on the kernel and provide the screens if you will, the features of the phone. Kinda like your computer's operating system.

Modems/Radios are firmware that control the baseband radio chipsets on your phone device to communicate to the data network for your carrier. You connection to your carrier. Specific to your phone and carrier.

When you have an odexed system you basically have apk's and odex files inside of your file system. The idea behind it is that odex files load up on boot to help speed up loading the APK's. However, it makes it hard to modify the system APK's since it loads parts from odex and parts from the APK.

Deodexing is basically repackaging the APK's and odex files so that they are reassembled and therefore making sure the application package is back in once piece.

This allows the ability to make theming modifications (battery, clock color etc.) without conflict, knowing that the application package is back together.

There are no ROM's per se yet for the SGS4G there is the Bali Kernel which adds some great enhancements made by Dr Honk, see it in the SGS4G android development forum.

There are also SGS4G deodexed kernels such as VUVKD1 DEODEXED from Krylon360 or Whitehawkx, also in the Android Development forum. These builds of the kernel provide the ability for theming, with Whitehawkx build you have the ability to do custom lock screens, there is a mod for supporting custom boot animations etc.

Hopefully this helps you understand more :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Then what's the difference between KB5 and KB1?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
So there is VUVKB5, VUVKC1 (Unreleased engineering build), VUVKD1 (Latest Build).

Haven't heard of KB1, I think you probably have it mixed up with KD1.

Anyhow, KB5 to KD1 there were bug fixes, MMS related bug issues fixed etc. The change log is here:

Thanks. A great beginners primer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
ok, so Krylon360 is working on CWM for the SGS4G and (at some point) talks about using KD1, so how can I go about flashing KD1 to my phone without using a windows PC (i have a mac)?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Sorry for noob question. I've been studying hard lately and with all the recent developments it had been overwhelming. Anyway.

I have been trying to download the modded recovery binary needed for CWM 3.0 directly to my phone using the multiupload link provided by Krylon360.

When I try to download it on my phone I get cannot download content not supported on my phone. Am I doing something wrong that I can't download straight to my phone? Do I need to check to a box somewhere?

Do I have to download the recovery binary and CWM to a computer first and then to my phone?

Is there a way I can do this with just my phone? I have Root explorer pro, super manager, file explorer, ect...I was really hoping to do it using my phone because I don't have full time access to a pc.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I downloaded it to my computer and then moved it to my phone using Awesome Drop (found in the Market) and then put the binary in the proper folder using Root Explorer but since you don't have full time access to a computer I don't know how you would go about this. I would suggest just using the limited time that you have on the computer, it should only take a few minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I personally use Skyfire
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
so should i flash the KD1 kernel from Krylon? and a coulpe more questions:

when you clear the phones cache, data and dalvik cache through CWM, what does it do? what do i lose? i know some ROMs require it and i don't want to flash a ROM that will make me lose something that i wanna keep
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Go into root explorer and go to /system/bin and then paste the file there. It will prompt to overwrite the.current recovery file and just replace it although I suggest copying the original to your external SD card first just in case
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
The good news is you will have to.do it again but you'll get the final release.

Flashing bootloaders will not erase your internal sd. Titanium Backup will restore all your user apps safely with data. Of course, it depends on the app if it is compatible with 2.3.3 or not. Spareparts did not work so well with 2.3.3 but it restored just fine. It just force closed when I tried to look at battery use.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robroy90:
All,

I did some testing, and then searching here, and seem to have the following issue:

I have an AT&T Tab and I followed the guide to flash it with the "Euro" ROM to enable the phone functionality, and everything is working great there.

However, in doing so, it appears to have somehow crippled the native email app. I am 99% sure the issue is with the ROM, because I have tested my exchange account settings with a T-Mobile Tab using the stock ROM, and it works fine with the native email app. My exchange account settings also work just fine on a Xoom and a Thunderbolt.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I tried to make a backup of the native email app from the T-Mo Tab, but it would not allow me to install it on the AT&T model.

I know I can use other applications, but I am really not interested. I would much rather use the native app. Is there a procedure to install email.app from another ROM?

Thanks, any assistance and insight would be greatly appreciated.
