Here's my logcat and also my bugreport. I toggled wifi and the phone restarted, so I did a bugreport dump as soon as it restarted. Hope that helps narrow down the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
I agree. You guys that OC your phone, whats the point? The phone is already way fast enough. You OC it and it sits in your pocket all day?
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Anyone have a problem with their home key not working? When I first flashed, my back key didn't work. I flashed the reorient kernel and now my home key doesn't work... Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Nope. What did you flash (build 1 or 2, kernel 1, 2, or 3, modem)? Did you restore apps after the flash?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Maybe you should start reading instructions and maybe read a few pages of this thread before you ask questions that have been answered hundreds of times before... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
I am personally just playing with O/C my I897. I have seen differences in performance and battery consumption. However, as I stated earlier, I very seriously doubt I would stay at this speed or any higher. I do not feel like burning out the CPU. So I understand and completely agree with O/C being controlled better. But it is nice to have the governor restricts off of the engine when I want some extra hp. lol. Would be great if the OtterBox was liquid cooled for the dog-gone price they charge. lol.

Just my input since I am on the fence. I like the safety of the yard, but I also like the wind on my face. lol. Hope this was easy reading.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Sorry I was tired when I typed that...
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I just did the base flash, and my back key wouldn't work. Flashed the reorient kernel, and the back key works, but my home key won't work. Going to try and flash the build 2 zip and build 2 kernel and see where that gets me.

EDIT: Nevermind. Flashing build II zip fixed it. Phenominal ROM so far... I'm blown away by how smooth it is. Coming from Darky's 9.2.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
lol. More like McBrutal113. lol. Everyone starts somewhere and sometimes it is not laziness, sometimes we got a badass toothache and havent slept all night and are so freakin groggy that we just ask a question in a forum like we are talking in IM or chat. lol. Oh wait, thats me and last night. Sorry, bad example. lol.

How about this UOT kitchen question of the day:

What is the proper framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk to upload? is HTC the ONLY ones to upload the resource.apk? Or does this apply to others as well? Should you upload your ROM framework and systemUI? Or do you upload your theme?

These are the questions I expect answered by dinnertime tonight. lol. Na, but those are questions that have varied answers to. Agree?

And yes, my freakin tooth does really need to get pulled BAD. not kidding there.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Sounds like a bad flash. You might want to re-accomplish all of the steps for flashing VII, starting from step #1.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
I would suggest moving anything you need to save to the external sd or the pc and do a master clear of the phone. start from scratch using the Odin procedures provided on the Actual S7 Download section. FOLLOW THEM WORD FOR WORD. This should provide you with the very best install of the S7 ROM. It cleaned up a lot of my garbage during the install of my current build(see sig).

I also suggest doing a re-boot each and every time you come to an end point if it is not automatically done for you. And re-boot after that just to make it stick that much more. Also, make sure you are un-pluggin your usb between re-boot as this is known to cause various corruptions.

Hope this helps a little and good luck with it. S7 is a very, very solid ROM thus far. Kernels seem to be the issues Dev are playing Cat/Mouse with mostly, mostly.

If this helps, plz hit that tnx button.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I was following the steps. I just wasn't fully through them yet. Everything fixed itself when I flashed Build II.zip . I was just slightly worried that I'd get through everything and they still wouldn't work, but they work now. Flashed Kernel 3, and Build II and I'm loving this ROM so far. Now time to set everything back up again. :)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Framework-res.apk: Pulled from your ROM, different for each out there

SystemUI.apk: Same as above

Com.htc.resources.apk: Not needed for Captivates... hence the "HTC"

You don't upload themes.

;)

Not sure then I am also on the latest everything and I have no SMS in call log, maybe something that is being changed? Does everyone else have SMS in the call log?

You can, if you want, and the theme is properly constructed.

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Huh, guess you learn something new everyday... Never really worked for me back on 6.4 and down.:cool:

I remember somewhere on UOT's website is says don't upload themes... But I trust you more.... :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The framework-res.apk in this is themed (among lots of other things) and it works fine.

The problem is when clueless people use 7zip or something instead of decompiling it. The NinePatch is corrupt/missing and the .apk no longer (de)compiles properly, which is what I presume the kitchen to be doing.

The tell-tale sign of this is weirdly stretched buttons and images.

Count me in as well. Battery at 75% before bed. Was dead when I woke up. AOS shows over 50% usage
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Known Android 2.3.3 drain... 2.3.4 is suppose to fix it... key word is suppose :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
The usual questions: Did you have a full battery when you flashed? Did you flash a different modem? Did you restore any applications or system data? Have you tried doing a master clear, then adding applications one at a time from the market to discover which one is causing battery drain?

I only ask because I have no weird battery drain going on. I didn't restore any apps or data after I flashed build 2, and I didn't change any settings at all, other than turning off a few sounds.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Good stuff there. I havent gotten into compile/decompile at all. A tad above my pay-grade presently. Looking forward to when I understand it more, but i got my hands full just getting things stable.

Mikey- So in my case, I am still a little off center. What would be the better approach? S7Build02 ROM framework and system or PaulDiddyRemix v1.5 Theme framework and system.

I tried the ROM approach on the first run of my mix-n-match build and it didnt like it. Soft-boot loop, so I stay a few extra steps away from using UOT. Only thing I am really wanting is a diff Phone reception icon. everything else is fluid, minus P-Diddy Remix label showing in the pull-down notifi, it just doesnt blend with the theme itself. Other than that, crisp, glossy blue.

and third, with the S7 kitchen, the colored settings, are those the fully colored setting with the crisp colored icons? Was stand-off-ish with those as well.

S7Build02 Sidenote, the music player provided with the install package does not have the option of sharing music via, anything. BT, SMS, MMS. W/E. No share option at all. Is this to be expected? Being worked on? I honestly dislike having to goto RootExplorer for my music share options. Piks and Vid can be handled by the S7 gallery just fine.

Not trying to harp or be a smart-a** or anything like that. I am just putting my two cents in here and there and trying to learn as I help(if i can).
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I an on my cappy and using XDA App.

I am trying to search for WHEN build 2 came out... And so I have to go-back to where search is available... Essentially leaving this thread.... Then I put in search terms: s7 build 2

Nothing comes up that looks vaguely helpful!

What am I doing wrong please?

Is it that this app is just poor for searching?

Thanx!

Zeddock

Ps. I love this rom. thanx Chance and Mikey.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Go to the first post in the thread - MM always updates the thread title with date of the last ROM update.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Almost forgot... I originally was trying to search for how to fox the inability to download onto phone.

Since I suck at searching so far, anyone want to chime in?

Question:

I'm coming from GR-12 with Talons 0.1.6 with EXT 4 (CWM 3.0 I think) -- do I need to convert back to RFS and maybe the latest xcal kernel before flashing Serendipity VII?
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Mikey/Chance,

I am having an issue of not being able to DL from the weeby site. In the add-on kitchen, I save the link and the download is unsuccessful. Also, it is locking my phone to "mobile" even after I select "full".

Not sure if this is Kernel, ROM or server. sry to bother if this has been disclosed.

EDIT - I am able to download from the XDA site thru the browser and app. Such as the Bootloader zip on the first page. So DL'ing is working on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Anyone have a recommendation for an e-mail program? I'm looking to set my hotmail back up on my phone, but only see the g-mail app. :(
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
K-9 is a good email application prob the most widely used but this question belongs in the Themes and Apps Section. For future reference.
[Captivate Android Development] techhi:
Any good launchers work with this ?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
No. I came from obsession with talon kernel and ext4 and I just flashed this over it. Everything works great. Go to the OP and click on the link there are instructions for how to install. Everything will just be wiped when you flash this new rom and it will give you the old CWM (and your ext4 will be preserved).
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Good job guys!

I haven't seen as good of battery life as I had with GR-12, but I just finished doing a full discharge and clearing stats...only done one recharge now. I think I was at 16 hours. It also could be sync is actually working properly now, never got FB updates before.

Just wondering though, because I have seen some folks getting real good battery life, what kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
Use different browser. I use miren and it DL from the add-on just fine. The stock browser never work for me when trying to DL add-on
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
I installed this on my mom and I's phones and it's great! Best ROM I've used. The only problem is on my mom's phone whenever she gets a call it immediately drops signal for about 10 seconds, and she can't answer. On my end, calling her, I hear it ring twice and then I get a busy signal. Her phone rings for a fraction of a second before it says "No service". My phone is fine, though. What can I do to fix this? Does it involve ODIN? Sorry if this has already been asked, I tried to find it in the thread.

[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I'm using the TalonDEV kernel which is CWM3. Can I still flash the S7 build 2 update package and the kernel build 3 .zip files? I know that some .zip's won't flash in CWM3. I did a search but could not find an answer.

[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Same thing happened with my wife on Cog. 4. Switch your mom back to stock AT&T, root it, and remove the bloatware. Install spare parts to "speed" it up and she will be happy. KB1 is a good modem.

wish i knew how the mod works, i would do it my self.
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
What was the modem that was used in Serendipity 6.4? The modem worked great there. Now with a stock S7 with kernel 3 my phone apparently doesn't work on the network at all. I try to call and it immediately hangs up. I try to go to Call Settings -> Voice Settings and it tells me I have a network or SIM error.

I'm going to try a JK4 modem in a minute

[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
travisyrans, you should give credit to the person who originally posted the information, namely devz3r0. You posted as if you were the original creator. The info you posted is from the Modem sticky of our Captivate Development forum.

Listen, guys, there is nothing wrong with the 1900 MHz band as compared to the 850 MHz band, IMHO. If your modem is configured to choose bands "automatically," it is going to choose the band that is strongest in your location at the moment, or has less traffic, or whatever number of factors.

It is my understanding that the 850 MHz band is more prevalent in urban areas, as it can carry more traffic, and the 1900 MHz band in rural areas as it carries a longer distance. Or vice-versa, I can't remember lol.

Additionally, not all I9000 modems default to 1900MHz. That's just not true, pardon me, devz3r0,not in my experience, anyway.

All this hand-wringing and fuss over bands is kind of unfounded as far as I am concerned. I haven't seen any information in any of these forums to convince me otherwise.

If you set your modem to use only one band, and you go to an area that doesn't offer that band, you are SOL. Just leave it on Automatic and forget about it. Set it and forget it.

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Good ol jk4 solved my signal problems.

Very incorrect in (at least) my particular area/case. I can't even get texts in 1900. I absolutely have to disable 1900 our it defaults and stays on it. And will result in an almost worthless signal until disabled.

Bluedipity 7

Dear Mike,

I remember how you had this theme for the 2.1 Serendipity on your website. Well it seems like someone has ported it to your GB Rom and it seems like a good thing to put on your website.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I agree! It's very straight forward, just flash. And the Dev is very committed, as soon as Build 2 was out there was a Bluedipity Update.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
This raises another question. With the UOT Kitchen working so well for people, does that mean the Add-on kitchen on the Weebly site will stay about how it is now?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Mike,

Pwnerman feels I should let you know that you are allowed to put my theme on the Serendipity site. I think it was a bit obvious, but now it's out in the open. I have no problems with it.

Fantastic ROM by the way.

Sounds like it might be a bad flash. I'd download the full ROM again and reflash - I had issues like this and it fixed it right up. Give it a try! I like to see fellow Moms happy :)

I hope not, because I don't want to flash stuff that 'breaks' the official mods made to the ROM and put into the kitchen! I'm still hoping we'll get the same battery mods there that we had for Serendipity 6.4.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
Just installed Build 2, and I seem to be having strange issues when activating Mobile AP. It only works after a reboot, otherwise it's returning "error" when I try to turn it on via "Tethering" in Wifi settings.

I've read several posts about wifi troubles in general, but nothing specifically related to wifi tethering .. has anyone else experienced this?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I'm sure if you give Mikey or Chance a logcat they will look into it... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
So after going through the process of enabling and disabling mobile AP to try and get the same error, I ran into the wifi bug that others seem to have also encountered. This leaves me to believe that it's the same problem, because in the logcat you'll find "E/WifiService( 463): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.".

I've attached the logcat for your viewing pleasure.

Edit: Just to add, this Wifi-Tether app works fine regardless of whether or not mobile AP is working in settings (it seems to be manually loading the wifi driver on request).

I am one of those having battery issues. Have tried all the normal recallibration steps, and also tried JK4 and JL2 modems. I am on S7, Build 2, kernel 3.

My issue seems to be the email app from the S7 kitchen chewing through the battery. It is always showing about 30-35% on battery usage. Have push with my Google Apps account, and check every 15 minutes on an IMAP account. Never seen email this high on any other ROM previously though.

Current charge ... 6 1/2 hours on battery, 23% remaining. I have done basically nothing on the phone today. No calls, no texts, no web browsing. I've just let it sit off charge today. The only thing it's done is receive emails, which I have looked at 3-4 times during the day. My display usage is even below the email usage.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
It might be better if you private message him
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Did you restore any apps, or did you install all of your apps from the market? Did you notice this battery drain immediately after you flashed, before you loaded any apps? McLovin had some terrible battery drain, and it was a rogue app that caused it.
