Got a g2, hope it affects all devices!

You will probably see a slight improvement, but the actual speeeeeeed is limited via hardware, so you will not see the full 42
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] romors666:
OK so my text notifications have just stopped working. I have everything checked in settings to on. And have used it before, it just all of a sudden stopped popping up and now the stock android text preview shows. Is anyone else having this issue? I cant seem to solve it, I even hard reset the phone and it was working for a bit then stopped again. Any help is greatly appreciated, I miss my quick reply :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Yeah this has happened to me too, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. It sucks cuz I really like the little text notification thing l: yeaaa..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
One of the only problems I have with my texting app is that when I receive an mms text pic it never loads.. also when I click someone's name, it might take me to anothers conversation
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] romors666:
Ive tried everything to fix this issue. But i get it to work for about 10min then it just deactivates all over again. Im getting really frustrated with this crap!!! Whats the point of having the feature if it doesnt work!!!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] romors666:
I activated pop ups for my email account and they work just fine... But with sms its no dice, anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] romors666:
So I finally just downloaded handcent sms and only use it for the pop up quick reply everything else is turned off. Works like a charm and I like it better than the stock pop up quick reply.
[Captivate General] uberpwner:
Hey, I have a quick question about exchanging phones...My touch screen hasn't been working too well lately, there's a section of the screen near the bottom that goes across the whole screen horizontally that doesn't register my touch...it's the line with the zxcvbnm, keys. When I try to swipe, it jumps from the asdfgjkl; straight down to the one with the space bar everytime I try to go down. I'm planning on sending it back and getting a replacement. I put firefly on it, so I'm going to flash it back to 2.1...but the phone came to me with 2.2 on it. Can I just leave it on 2.1 and send it in, or should I try and update it to 2.2 just to be safe?

Thanks in advance for your time!
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Flash it back to 2.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zakir.Umar:
All of a sudden, my network data has stop working.

Of course, i've switched it on, and also turned the phone on and off and taken the battery in and out to make sure. I've also tried another SIM. Strangely, this other SIM worked yesterday, and then when i put my SIM back in my data network came back again. So i was happy, until this morning when it has stopped working again!

I am really getting frustrated about this because this is not the first problem i am facing.

Please help. What can i do? :(

Btw, my WiFi works perfectly fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baron von bubba:
sorry cant help ya, but i do kno however that a thread titled "please help" will not get much...

rename title and its more likely youll get answers. ;o)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zakir.Umar:
Ok, thanks i've edited the title.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
Also more info such as have you rooted, kernal, mods and firmware version.

First thing ill sugest is factory reset and flash new firmware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zakir.Umar:
Yes i have rooted.

Baseband: I9100XXKDJ

Kernal version: I9100XWKDD.

I did the KE2 one basically.

Okay i will reset factory settings, but how do i save my apps? I don't have any pics or sms or anything like that, just the apps i care about. I have Titanium Backup Pro, but wouldn't Titanium delete itself if i did a reset? :s

Which firmware shall i flash? And do i flash the stock one or the unsecure one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
You can use either titanium backup or appbrain.

Pick any stock firmware and give it a go. Then reinstall titanium backup and u can reinstall your apps. But b4 u do make sure your problem is fixed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zakir.Umar:
Oh man, THANK YOU!!! It's sorted!!! Got data network back, apps back as well!!

As i was reinstalling one by one from TB, i noticed that the problem reoccurred when i reinstalled Root Explorer with the data included, so i reinstalled it without the data but just the app and all is fine again.

Once again, thank you!

Do you have a donation link?

Thanx in advance

[Android Software Development] srinivas07:
i flashed my galaxy 3 with a custom rom and i lost my IMEI number wen i enter *#06# it is showing all 00000000000.....
[Android Software Development] ksavai:
It happened with me on my samsung galaxy S.

You will get yr IMEI back if you go on yr stock rom or the rom you might had before flashing (I hope you did nandroid backup before flashing new one. that will save lots of time)

You must have did something wrong following step for new ROM.

for samsung galaxy S for new ROM I have to do efsbackup to keep my IMEI number. ( I dont know what that do and what is similar in your case)

******NEW THREAD*******

If you want to take up this or a similar project on your own, I will provide you with instrucations on what to modify. HOWEVER, you must get permission first from each Rom Chef, as these are their works and we are simply modifying for our own use.

Captivate Touch:

GB via CM7 is working very well. Camera is functional and I am testing the GPS. See notes below. If you are going to install GAPPS, make sure you remove the setup wizard apk from the zip file.

I am running Launcher7 on mine so that my toddler can easily see her books and games on the launcher screen. Will post screens later.

Changelog:

3.1: CM7 based Touch. Working.

3.0: GB Fail, could not get camera working on any GB rom.

2.0: Fixed GPS, removed mms, added dialer back for secret code access.

1.1: Removed modem lib (broke GPS)

1.0: Removed no signal notification

I take no responsibility... yada yada yada. What you do to your phone is your business, don't blame me.

First off, these ROMs are not my creation they belong to the chefs that cooked them or the devs that built them. All I did was modify them to suit my needs. If you like these ROMs, please buy them a beer and support future development. They have endorsed this project and for that I thank them. The camera apk in the froyo version is GizmoDroid's modded camera as the stock and hacked camera from SGS Tools did not function properly.

The goal of this project was to a Captivate Rom completely devoid of any cell phone functions. Why? Well, my job required me to switch to another OS, but I had grown dependent on my Android apps. As such I have modified these ROMs to give us a "Touch-like" device, devoid of any cell phone functions, and with amazing battery life.

Yes, I know that you can just put the phone in Airplane mode, remove them sim card, disable the data network etc, but phone functions still remain and its a not a complete nor elegant experience.

What works:

Testing, but so far everything but the phone

What doesn't:

Some lock screens display (no service)

Install Instructions:

I have provided links to each ROM's original thread. Please follow the instructions there.

So here you go:

Captivate Touch v2.0, Cognition Edition - KB1 2.2 by DesignGears

[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Awesome. I've thought about getting a second Captivate just for this exact purpose. I like the idea of the iTouch but I'm not a big Apple fan. I like being able to expand my storage and replace a failed battery.
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Hey! Good thinking, Samsung Captivate android PMP!!!

As of now i need it as a phone, but when i will get the Galaxy s2 will try this out.

If i use this now, can i flash back other Phone roms again [wan't to flash anything and everything]:D
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Yep, although Cognition uses Voodoo lagfix and I always play it safe by flashing back to stock before installing a new custom rom.
[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Cool!! Definitely trying this out! :D
[Captivate Android Development] little8020:
I don't know if you can add it in but on some roms, ie cm7, there is the previous, play/pause, and next for the media controls on the lock screen which would be probably the 2nd best feature of the touch Rom other than the no phone part
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Maybe you can try DAGr8's rom, it has 9 lockscreens with media controls, also if i am not wrong, all the 3 roms here have media contols in lockscreen
[Captivate Android Development] skeepon:
oh wow. this is a great idea! props! :D
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
I'm all for what you are trying to accomplish but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this, what does it matter if you still have the phone (that still has the phones functionality) because of your company unless it was a company phone, but if thats the case then why are you modding it to only work as a smaller tablet. This makes me assume that you were issued a company phone other than your cappy? I also assume 2 other things here, you still need it to work wifi and possibly still need a data signal or is this what you need gone al together. to remove the signal bar at the top look in the theme thread about modding the notification bar, I accidently did this one time, I would have to poke around but I manage I could do it again.

But for whatever reason you want to do this have you tried porting a galaxy tab rom to this by chance, is it even possible, I wouldn't know why it wouldn't be possible.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Yes, I had to purchase a non-android device for work and do not want to pay for multiple lines and data plans. The goal was to continue to use the many apps I purchased, improve battery life, and create a more complete expereince. Simply removing the SIM card leave the cell radio software components intact, giving you the emergency call option notification, the missing sim notification, etc. By removing all of the components associated with the phone (except the lost signal notification - sigh) the experience feels "complete" and intentional, rather than hacked together.

If you can figure out how to remove the notification bar that would be great. I am not a developer, coder etc, just a tinkerer who isn't afraid of bricking his phone. As for the Galazy Tab rom, I would not know where to begin.

The ultimate goal will be to port the ROMs from the Galaxy S WIFI 4 and 5, but in the meantime, I will settle for their native apps missing from the captivate.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/01/samsungs-galaxy-s-wifi-4-0-and-5-0-now-rolling-out-to-countries/
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Interesting..

I see where you are going with this. Two questions; Does removing all phone functions render wifi useless? Does doing this save significant battery life over airplane mode/no sim?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I have not tested battery life compared to airplane mode, but Standby on the Cognition variant seems to be 5-7 days.

Wifi, BT, and GPS all work perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
For now as a "hack" to get the look your going for you could possibly edit the stat_sys_signal_null.png to a blank image maybe that will work for you, it will most likely be in SystemUI.apk in /system/app if I had time I would do it myself but issues at home will prevent me from playing with this tonight

EDIT: Sorry for some reason I thought you were on a 2.3 rom, Personally I would suggest you try this with DAGr8 symply galaxy, I just removed SystemUI.apk from it reboot and now have no notification bar at all, but everything seems to be functioniong correctly.

With your 2.2 ROM you will most likely find the null signal png in /framework/framework-res.apk in the res/drawable-hdpi may have v4 on there too.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I will try that tonight. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
I was going to suggest the same - simply replace the signal bar images with blank/100% transparent images.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
After playing around with it today thats gonna be your best option. Yoi really dont want to remove your bar altogether this hinders your ability to mount to pc or to use debugger
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
If u plan on buying an entirely new phone why not just buy a galaxy player if it's out. Its essentially an itouch
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
I love this idea. A well developed platform used as a simple media device. It'll blow the doors off anything available designed for that purpose!

Insert GB for bonus points.

:D
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
I think this would work so much better with ginger and ginger would work so much better as this
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I guess he can unlock the second captivate, use it as pmp. And use it as phone when travelling abroad by going back to the favorite rom. Well, this cannot be achieved on itouch or on Samsung Galaxy pmp. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Killerfish1450:
Is the Continuum4.1 TOUCH_v.9beta - JS8 2.2.1 by Ceza link broken also? I get an error when trying to download.

EDIT: need to remove the ] in the CONTINUUM link.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
thanks done
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
What happened to your home button did it complety stop working while running the rom did it stop working after flashing

I was playing around last night trying to remove the signal bars without modifying pngs. It may be simpler on 2.2 rom but is a little more complicated on a 2.3 rom with institution od an app for the notification bar
[Captivate Android Development] robertwileysr:
I like the idea here, as I have a cappy that I do not use as a phone but i'm failing to understand the benefit here? Why not flash something else and run in air plane mode?
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
The goal here is for a more elegant expereince. No having to turn on airplane mode, missing sim notification, emergency call options. In my case I have a 20 month old who is more adept at modifying settings than her mother. :D

Likewise, there are some services that can be removed entirely, extending batterly life as well.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I am not entirely sure. My first instance of Symply Galaxy worked pretty well, but I wanted to try to get TW3 working since TW4 is still a bit buggy. While playing with that I began to modify Continuum 5 and while testing that, my home button stopped working. Flashed back to stock, button works, flashed either 2.3.3 rom, button stops working.

I am going to reevaluate my approach tonight and see if I cannot make it work.

I also dug through Framework-res.apk on Symply Galaxy but could not find the associated PNG.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
Thats strange, not real sure what you did,

After playing with files for the last 2 days, everytime I modify just the smallest thing the entire status bar goes completely away, which makes everything a PIA. your best bet is png editing, if your on a gb rom youll want to edit the PNG's in SystemUI.apk its a system app. was trying to see if I could help a little, apparently I can't. Not that I have use of this but in the sake of developement, I like your thinking and theory behind this
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I found the correct PNG in Framework-res.apk for the 2.2 roms and have fixed that issue. Once I update the ROMs tonight I can push to v1.

Still working on the GB ROMS
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
Screenshots?
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Updated OP
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Bumped to v1.0

Bumped to v1.1 for all Roms

See OP
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
If any of u guys are interested in spending money, there is a the galaxy player coming out this summer. its basically a iPod touch version of the galaxy s with 2.3. great project tho. really unique idea
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I am hoping to get a ROM dump once the GP4/5 is available. It MIGHT be possible to port it to a Cappy for a more complete expereince.
[Captivate Android Development] Killerfish1450:
Is this still a active project? I would really like to see the other two roms that are forthcoming to be released.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
yeah, I hope to get to it this weekend. It should not take too long to do.
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
Awesome! I have been keeping my eye on this one, especially now that it seems some Captivate GB sources are right around the corner!
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
Which Roms would those be, is there a g player leaked Rom somewhere
[Captivate Android Development] ConeyKiller:
Ive not flashed this, as I still use my captivate. Anything more being done with this? I guess you can only go so far with removing phone funtion though. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I created an autoshutdown app to use with this rom on my sons phone. Its in this thread.

Unfortunately the reboot executable contained in this rom doesnt support the -p parameter so my app wont work, although I do have it working on my phone with Fusion. Does anybody know if I could copy the reboot exe from my phone to his?
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I was hoping that this would get updated too because I was planning on getting a new phone and would love to use the captivate as a media device.
[Captivate Android Development] Panduh:
Hello, I am also EXTREMELY interested in this, but your download links appear to be broken. Any ideas? Also, if you have any spare time or such, it would be GREATLY appreciated if you would begin this project again! I know you must be busy, but with more and more smart phones coming out, I'm sure more and more people will be looking to convert their old phones into a media player! Thanks again!

[Captivate Android Development] xTRUEx:

[Captivate Android Development] dildano:
Awesome. Thanks for the update. And I would be interested in the instructions to remove the null signal icon.

Also, I'm one of the unfortunate ones who got a Cappy with a crappy GPS. Any idea how to strip out the GPS files?
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
I thought they all had crappy GPS.

In the froyo versions the GPS gave me all sorts of problems as the AGPS was unavailable. I will play around if I have time, but right now I am focused on getting the camera working.

IN GB it is in SystemUI.apk (stat_sys_signal_null or somthing like that) and in Froyo it is in Framework... you will have to search, but do not start removing PNG files that you don't need to as it will create FCs.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Thanks for the update kind sir. Just out of curiosity, why did you base this off a version with a turrable memory leak? Kk4 IMO is the most stable.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Been out of the captivate scene for a while so I have not been up on what works and what doesn't. Cognition was always a good place to start, but now that I know KK4 ROMS are the most stable I will start with one of those.
