if you are flashing bootloaders and anything goes wrong like your usb cord gets unplugged, then you will brick your phone and idk if a jig will even work. as long as you know what you are doing and follow the directions though you should be fine. to get into dl mode use a power menu, or adb reboot download, but i no that the CM people consider these "unreliable" ways to get into download mode

So, I umm, am actually

gaining

battery when off-charger/usb?? lol

I'm draining the battery after switching to Talon 0.2.1 kernel yesterday.

I looked at my battery a few minutes before catching the below screen shot and my battery was at 18%. The graph actuall shows that battery is going up with no USB connection since yesterday. That is a new one for me. lol
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
that is weird, i have with this rom almost 176 MB room free.. wel after playing hard and open so many applications, does down to 90 but kill some apps and it gets back to 170 or in the worse case 140
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Thanks RichMD, that worked. Now I can continue to play with Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
You could try the talon kernel if you want. It has 340 mb free and the best lmk settings that try to prevent you launcher from closing but if you do you need to delete the ram hack and sd card tweak from etc/init.d/ or you wont get good performance

kernel 2.0

one question, i download the zip kernel 2.0 but how do i install it.. i tried to use odin but it can open zip, also i use CWM 3 but says it cant flash it..

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
I changed the dailertabactivity.apk to the oone in gr 12 and now sms apears in call logs how can i remove thwm
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I have flashed the V2 kernel via CWM 2.5 which is included with the stock kernel. My guess is that the V2 zip uses AMEND scripting which is not supported via CWM3 - only edify. You could flash XCal's reoriented kernel 1.2 via ODIN which will change your CWM back to CWM 2.5 and then you could flash the S7 V2 kernel which is a modified version of XCal's 1.2 kernel.

Phone keeps changing to silent ringer

I am having a strange problem, after my phone reboots, receives a call or whenever it feels that it would be bad for me, the ringer goes to silent, what i mean is that my audio manager pro cant even do anything i can turn the ringer all the way up and it doesn't help, i actually have to go into settings and change the system ring tone off of silent. I have tried everything i can think of. re flashing hasn't worked, so i was wondering if anyone else had this problem or has an idea to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
So I jumped in the pool.

Everything seems to be working great thus far.

Some things I'd like to see are Transparent Notification Bar, Colored Setting Menus, and a Battery Mod identical to "Green A" from Serendipity 6.4. (Go here and hover over "Green A" to see what I'm talkin about)

Still not sure if we can use the addons from 6.4 so, sitting put til I get confirmation/ do more research on where to find these things.

Lovin the "tv shutoff" on power press btw. This is bangin.
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
I did. Working great.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
do you think the v2 kernel is more stable and faster than talon 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
I did tried flashing this ROM but was stuck at the this below for around 20 mins pulled the cable and was in DL mode for long but Odin dint recognized the phone, Now getting phone ! computer on screen ? Tried all the key combination but not working.

[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Pull battery, hold down, plug in.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
In the galaxy s i9000 themes and apps forum theres one posted by fr4ggor that works perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Also, reboot your computer and have Odin running before plugging into your phone. Do not use a USB hub. Go direct into a port on the computer.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Boot/Home loop

This may be the same issue as myself, maybe not. I got caught up in a boot/home screen loop. It was my SIM card lock. I had to go back to the default i9000 2.3.3 GB rom thru odin and the provided files from Mikey & Chance.

Reboot, it ask for the SIM password. Entered. Home screen. Settings. Location and Security. Set up SIM card lock. Unlocked that darn SIM card. Went on with my business. Followed S7 install directions. Working solid with no boot/loop errors.

Hope it helps if you havent found a solution.

Flashed from S6.4 Bluedipity. Did not master clear(should of and will if I find a way to clear the entire phone in GB). Running very smooth within first 24hrs.
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
Tried every possible rebooted changed the usb ports all the combination but not worked, Will a jig will work for this ?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yes it will. Before I had a jig, I had it happen. Removed the battery and held down both volume buttons and power button, plugged in the USB and then the battery and entered download mode. With GB bootloaders, try above but only hold the volume down and power with usb plugged into a computer with Odin running, then put the battery in. I know it takes 12 fingers but should work :p
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Just to clarify, OPTIMAL is from FROYO but u can unlock the SIM card from the DEFAULT provided by S7.

Hope it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
Did tried as u suggested but not working, Any other combinations ?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
yes a jig will work, try this before u get one though....

volume down, HOME button, and power while plugged in.
[Captivate Android Development] phat_cow:
I'm getting no service with this rom. I followed the instructions step by step. Phone is not plugged in while flashing the rom. Is there something I did wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
go to the modems thread and download jk4, the default modem on 6.4. flash in cwm.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Here is a thread made by DG that has other key combos.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I am not sure why your phone did that. I have had it happen but it was because I put the phone into download, plugged in the usb and then started ODIN. I have been able to get it back into download mode but not sure how. Maybe take 15 minutes away from everything will give a different outlook when you return.

EDIT- try a different USB cable also. I have read about the cables going bad and flashing requires more of the cable than charging.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Is the only difference in herbal build#2 that of voodoo sound?

I am considering whether flashing it would have worth for me.

I read around the op for information but still not sure what 2 offers.

Can someone elaborate out point me to more info?

Thanx.

Zeddock
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
I started odin placed all the file in place pit,phone and other and then connected the phone in DL and hit start, Odin started but was stuck at do not turn off the target.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Do you have a different USB cable you could try?
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Even better, how do I properly search for something like this while using tapatalk app on phone?
[Captivate Android Development] blueghost24:
Go back to the home screen and click on more then click on search.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I would also try another cable because I have at least one cable that I know will only charge via USB. However, I "think" ODIN wouldn't even start if you have a bad cable so I doubt that would fix it - it's worth a shot though.

If all else fails, I would

1) Try Cezar's secure JF6 to go back to stock (keeping the GB boot loaders)

2) If that fails, try ODIN one-click to go all the way back to stock which will revert everything - bootloaders and repartition back to RFS, etc. There is a "small" risk of hardbrick if it disconnects when flashing the 2 bootloaders but they take about 1 second - hence the very small risk.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I'm hesitant to answer that since there are many much more knowledgeable people who disagree on which is better. However, since you asked...

1) Do you want to OC or UV? If yes, then you need Talon's kernel since I don't believe they are supported in the S7 kernel. Personally, I don't need either of them. I want stability as #1 - GB is fast enough to not need OC'ing which has risks. Also, I tend to think MikeyMike is right that the CPU battery usage is insignificant overall so UV'ing probably helps very little. Therefore, those options only add "complexity" for me without any benefit. They are only part of the overall package though which could have other benefits.

2) I also want functionality such as MikeyMike's JVO light fix (which I really like) and I'm not sure how compatible that would be with the Talon kernel. EDIT: I checked and other's have successfully used the JVO fix with the Talon 0.2.1 kernel...

3) eXistz' talon kernel is still under development and I will undoubtedly try it again as it is upgraded. I ran into a few issues with BT and WIFI which I know he is working hard to resolve...

How is that for a "politically correct" answer? :D:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] JayPhill89:
I was surprised that over scroll glow wasn't listed in the addons section. I want some green glow..

Also where can I find the kernels change log?

Made a jig with the help of my old nokia cable it worked hurrrayyyyy. Thanks to all who helped me.

So now should i flash this again don't want to take risk, LOL. and i forgot to mention my phone does not support the 3 button im stupid.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Don't know if this has been answered it, but I placed the .tar file in the PDA spot on my Odin and booted into download, flashed, and there you go.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Reason why I went to Talon 0.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Same thing here. I believe it has to do with are battery calibration. When I rebooted my phone and the battery dropped from 40% to 10%, I charged it for a minuted and then unplugged. My battery kept climbing from 11% to 38%. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I would start in the OP and do it all over. Good work on the jig!!
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
Hmmmm i did followed the OP post (on the serendipity website) will give a try in sometime.

Thanks ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Sometimes, it just happens. By no fault of anyones or anything. You have a jig and are ready now :D

Any word on the wifi fix?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Wifi works perfect for me.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So you guys prefer Talon over the default kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Personally at this stage of how beta Serendipity 7 is I prefer Talon over the default kernel. I will keep trying out the new kernels that Chance and Mikey push out, but as of right now, I am getting much better use out of Talon than the default. :)
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
Im having the same issue, on reboot i have to do it every time to disable bln. I know on earlier versions, it was in the kernel and i could disable it then. I just dont like using bln cause it drains battery for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I prefer SpeedMod! :D

BLN disable/enable right from recovery.

No OC/UV

Ext4 right from recovery

Voodoo Sound

341M RAM

Various Tweaks

Lowest brightness setting

Color Fix

WE NEED SPEEDMOD!
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
+1 that exactly what i miss in this kernel!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I see. I'll try Talon and see how it performs. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I have read nothing but problems with Talon though.

BT doesn't work, BT is a must for me.

Wifi problems.

Bootloop after flashing.

Must delete scripts. (SD and RAM)

I don't like OC/UV
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Alright sounds good, I'm sure in the future though, Mikey and Chance will create something that will blow both Talon and the default kernel they have now, out of the water! :D

BT?

No wifi problems for me.

No bootloop problems.

Didn't have to delete scripts.

OC/UV depends on the person.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I know I sound stupid, but I switched back to Serendipity 6.4 for now until this rom gets some of it's kinks out. This is by far the greatest rom I have ever seen for a first build, and I had no problems except the occasional freezing, but that's on my part. I just feel like switching back.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
You know this isn't a first build, right? This is the final of the GR-XX builds.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Bluetooth

"Wifi sometimes causes reboots (possible samsung bug)"

Almost everyone is having bootloops right after they flash. You have to uncheck autoreboot, pull battery, and go into recovery and delete cache and dalvik. Something like that.

If you don't delete the scripts people say you'll have bad preformance.

I agree with the OC/UV
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
More fixes abound.

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Hmm that's interesting. I don't ever use bluetooth so there is why I don't know about that.

I didn't get any bootloops (thankfully).

I never deleted the scripts and have great performance right now.

All in all I think the kernel just depends on the person... just like modems, roms, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:

Wifi will not pick back up the signal after it loses it. So you leave your house and when you return, the phone will not automatically pick up the WiFI without you going back to the WiFI settings.

It's a known issue.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Either I am missing something or I am lucky, because I went down to starbucks this morning (kept wifi on from the car ride to my house, starbucks, and back) and when I got home... I was still connected to my home wifi...?

Lucky me? :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:

That's what I miss the most. Can squeeze 30% more battery out of a day.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
I plugged a USB bluetooth dongle to the PC and tried to make a connection and couldn't from the phone side.

Bluetooth doesn't turn on from either the notification toggle or the settings menu. It just times out- no message of any kind- it just eventually defaults back to off as if you never turned it on.

Device name, Discoverable, Scan devices options are grayed out and not selectable at any time in the process.

No reboot, or shutdown, but def not working. Not that I'm worried, or care- that's the first time I've tried to activate bluetooth on my phone in many months across many different ROMs. lol
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Is this with stock kernel of Talon kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
the problems people are having with it are mainly user error and most people that post in threads are posting becuase of problems. most of the posts in this thread are problems too. The bootlooping did not happen to me, wifi is not a problem for me although exitz did say he would change the initramfs to fix it, you dont have to delete the scripts, but the kernel comes with better settings, OC/UV is automatically enabled. hopefully they will get a fix for the BT soon though
[Captivate Android Development] :
I know, but it says Build 1. I am saying I'm waiting until a few updates since I found no reason to stop using 6.4, love S7 though.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Tried Talon and everything seems to be working atm. I don't use bt that much so it wouldn't be problem for me, we'll go to mass later so I'll leave the wifi on and see if it picks it up later. I also didn't delete the sd and ram scripts. No bootloops after flashing. Will further test.

Captivate, Serendipity VII, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Yes and no.

Personally, I believe the GR-XX line is over, and Serendipity 7 is it's own new type build. Thus making it the first build for the line of the Gingerbread based Serendipity.

Just an opinion. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Random Question: Is Serendipity VII always gonna be called Serendipity VII?

It seems as though he is going for a Serendipity VII (Build 1, Build 1.1 or 2, etc.)

Not like Serendipity 5.12, 6.4!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Only Mikey & Chance will know! :rolleyes:

To be honest I think the same. But then again, Mikey & Chance will be do whatever they want! :p

I was testing the wifi issue, so I connected to my home network then walked down the street until I was out of range. When I walked back into range, there was no auto-reconnect. Then, I turned off wifi and as I was attempting to turn it back on, my phone restarted on its own. Hmmm.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Are you using Talon's Kernel cause thats actually on of the issues listed in the thread?

So I thought I would thank you through my art. My artist name is Mortem Tuam and my deviant art page is here http://idroidd.deviantart.com/

[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I attempted to recreate the crash, so I connected to my network and walked down the street. Once I lost the connection I turned around until the connection was seen again by the phone. This time it reconnected perfectly. No crash. Man, there's nothing I hate more than a hard to duplicate problem!
