Hi,

there are two links on the downloads page:

and

http://www.multiupload.com/C6P819PV8Q

both with different file sizes. Which one should I be using?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
One is the package to flash stock gb, and the other is the Serendipity VII rom.

I am having a problem accessing my backups with Titanium Backup. I can't seem to change the backup folder to my external SD card. It will see it, but everything I try it leaves it set to the internal card. I'm obviously being thick, can someone tell me how to set that in preferences?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
open tibu, hit menu, preference, click backup folder name, and type "external_sd/" in front of what ever is there. Then back out , hit menu, more, and reload application

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
It won't let me type anything, it's a selection thing. It'll find the folder and I'll select it, but when I go to do my batch restore, it only shows the internal stuff, I can't get it to load my backup from the external. I've never had this problem before....
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Try and go to the backup/restore tab and hit filter and click unistall and click apply. then you should see all the missing apps. then click batch and restore missing app w/data. See if that works. If not reinstall tibu.

I'm having an issue with fling in the browser. Soon after I let go if the screen the page movement comes to a grinding halt like the brakes have been put on. Other apps keep on scrolling for a while after a fling and I remember the web browser doing the same in S VI. Is there a simple way to change this? The current behavior makes it hard to scroll through a long page.

[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Signal sensitivity

This may be sort of off topic (or not...):

As I posted before, I am new to the Android scene, coming from Windows Mobile (AT&T Tilt 2).

I noticed that the Captivate is frequently unable to get signal (phone and data) inside stores or shopping malls, where I never had problems with the Tilt (using the same SIM card, with AT&T).

Before someone sends me to the modem thread: I've been there already, and tried 3 different modems, all with the same results.

So, my question is: is the Captivate receiver less sensitive, or is this a ROM issue (unlikely, but), or do I have to try yet more modems?

Fyi, when I am at home I get a good signal and was able to reach between 2,000 to 3,000 kbps download and about 1,000 kbps upload on speedtest.net (what is much more than I was getting with the Tilt).
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
It's called shoty AT&T coverage. I get no signal in my house, think how I feel.
[Captivate Android Development] gunderbum:
Ya Mikey,I liked that picture with your feet on the desk.love the rom take a break!
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I know AT&T is no saint, but again, with my previous phone I did not have these problems, hence my question.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Well every phone is built differently. Not sure if you heard but iPhones have thee worst reputation for signal. And even when Apple designed the antenna to wrap around the whole phone there was still problems. My mom get some signal in my room, and she has a Samsung Flight II. So the answer is yes, low signal is most likely caused by the Captivate's antenna. Again though, try different modems. I went from no service with JK4 (well known to be good) to at least 2 bars with the stock JV6 (known to have poor signal/sometimes none)
[Captivate Android Development] penguin359:
Browser window limit raised to 8

While I haven't yet found a fix to the fling problem with Samsung's Browser, I have fixed it's most annoying feature, the four window limit. I have raised it back up to AOSP's maximum of eight windows. Otherwise, it is identical to the Browser in Serendipity VII Build 2. Enjoy!!!

P.S. For those curious, I can post the exact instructions for what I did.

EDIT: I forgot the installation instructions. Try this:

adb root
adb shell stop
adb shell busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
adb shell busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
adb reboot recovery

Once in CWM Recovery, you must wipe the Dalvik Cache.

1. Go to Advanced
2. Go to Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Go back
4. Reboot into system

It will take a long time to reboot sitting at a blank screen, just wait.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that it's been great being part of the captivate community with you all. Mikey, you make the best roms and I hope you and everyone else buys an SGSII international version and joins me in the i9100 forums! If not, take care, it's been an awesome run!

LG Shine - Best cell coverage I have ever seen.... It was so good that I took it with me when I went on river rafting trip down the Colorado River. Got 2, bars 100's of miles in the middle of no where while my Cappy got none at all.

Personally I've found that, those old brick phones get the best signal ever because the battery powered the antenna, or something along those lines. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] :
AT&T had to upgrade my SIM card when I bought my Captivate last August when I upgraded from my HTC Fuze. They said that the SIM card that I had before was old and would not take advantage of some of the new features and upgrades of the newer SIM cards and that the old SIM cards did not do well on the 850 frequency and liked to lock onto the 1900 band... Im not sure if they were just talking out of their ass (wouldnt be the first time) but they didnt charge me for the new SIM card so I gladly accepted it.

Perhaps that may be an issue for your phone?
[Captivate Android Development] cmfrtblynmb:
Quick question:

Does this ROM include swype?

If yes, is turkish included in swype language selection?

Thanks a lot
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
It is included, but it has expired and doesn't work anymore. I have no clue about Turkish support.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Today I went out with two Captivates, and alternated my SIM card between them.

One had the original AT&T ROM and baseband - I897UCJH7, and Froyo. The other was mine, with Serendipity VII and baseband I9000XXJVO.

The one with Froyo got signal where mine could not, what makes me believe that either I have a defective phone, or the modem is not the ideal for my location. However, I already tried JJJV5 and TUBJV6, and it made not difference...

I don't know what else to do, so any suggestions are welcome.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
JK4 is the most reliable. But I don't think anything is gonna beat the stock froyo modem.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
Try the jw2 modem.

I added this plus I replaced the conf.gps file with a different one. And now I have a consistent gps signal and it locks within 10seconds. Check the modem thread for both files. The data speed on the modem is decent too. Voice quality could be better but it's not a deal breaker. Good luck
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Thank you for the suggestions. I will try these additional modems.

One thing I forgot to mention: every time I had no AT&T service, when I searched for Network Operators, the phone would find T-Mobile but would not find AT&T.

Is it possible that somehow there is something not properly configured in my settings?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Sounds like the phone is looking for 1700 and 2100 instead of 850 and 1900. Go get SGS tools and from there you can look at secret codes and look at your GSM status to see what its currently on and then you can change the bands as in select the AT&T bands (850 and 1900). That may help you out.

Reeboot on power down screen

Mikey:

Would it be possible to move the "Reboot" button on the power down screen away from the "Power Off" button? My fat thumb keeps hitting "Reboot" and I have to wait for the phone to reboot before I can finally power it down.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Yes you can use Talon. No you can't use anything from the froyo site.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
No. It shows 1900.

No, I prefer it too, the new one is a PITA, the autocorrect is overzealous, the cursor won't stay where you put it.....they ruined it, but it's still better than any of the replacements out there, I've tried them all.
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
I need help! I want to flash this coming from Apex 8.2 with Darky's kernel. Should I first apply Serendipity 7 through recovery and then, without rebooting, apply Serendipity kernel.zip or the kernel first?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Kernel second, but you don't have to flash without rebooting, but you can, your choice.
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
I flashed it a couple of hours ago following your instructions. Worked perfectly, and it's running very, very well so far. No lag whatsoever. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
Well guys it's been a slice. I REALLY appreciate Mikey and Chance's work on this rom but I couldn't resist picking up a SGS2. So far it's a great phone. Not much difference in layout from my Captivate, it does have and actual button in the center of the bottom for the Home key, return to the right and menu to the left. It came with 2.3.3 and won't upgrade to 2.3.4 for some reason. It is lighter and slightly bigger than the captivate, but has a plastic back instead of the metal back I had on the captivate.

It's very fast and the flash is great. I did root it so TIB would work but haven't tried a rom yet. Mikey I wish you'd get one so you could do a awesome rom for it.

The standard rom players are there but haven't done any research on which one is less buggy.

I'll check back from time to time and thanks again to everybody for the help.

A couple of things I forgot to mention, I get unlimited data for 10 bucks since it's an internation version so that will help pay for it:)

And I saw the Captivate on the deal sites at 1 cent for upgrades or new service on AT&T.
[Captivate Android Development] penguin359:
I do like the new Swype, but not it's default settings, I always turn off auto-correct. I didn't realize that the cursor movement problem was Swype, I thought it was another one of the Samsung bugs that was pulled in. Now I am considering trying the old Swype again, but mine claims it's expired. Well, I hope since this Swype actually comes with an Installer that Swype, Inc. will be fixing this bug soon. Unfortunately, I've had several ROMs where the old Swype expired. I'm curious if it ever expires on a stock Samsung ROM.

EDIT: I've posted a bug report about the issue on Swype's Forums here:

I just experienced a speaker problem too. It was randomly dropping for a couple days, then just stopped altogether. I pushed on the speaker (with the battery cover off of course) & it started working.

I just switched over to SerendipityVII Build 2, Kernel 4 yesterday. I was previously on Cognition 4.5.3. So far, I've been blown away at how much better my performance has been all around, from general snappiness to the gps getting a near-instant lock. I've bounced around a few roms now and haven't found a single one I've been as happy with as this, except I'm noticing a huge issue with battery drain. I apologize in advance if this subject has been brought up or beaten to death already, but I didn't see anything directly relating to it while going through the thread. Is there a particular issue that's been causing this commonly on S7? Battery Usage stats are showing 41% on Android OS and 29% on Display. After getting home from work today my battery was at 34% with fairly minimal use, normally it would be in the 60s now on previous roms I've used.

Edit: I guess I'm wondering if the modem is the most likely culprit, and if anyone has seen huge improvements with a specific one.
