The only time I've ever got wifi errors was when I was on 3.0 of the Serendipity kernel. Then again, I rarely touch wifi, if I do, I always do it through settings.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I also rarely, RARELY touch WiFi because I use Auto WiFi Toggle but even that app wouldn't turn on WiFi because of errors. Not sure what's different between 4.1 and Talon that would cause Wifi errors. Either way when he releases another "stable" build I'm gonna flash it just to see.

Mikey, what's your opinion on the Asus Prime? Jump on it, or wait for other companies to learn from Asus's flaws?

Sent from my fist full of Galaxy S II.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
My opinion is that Android tablets aren't worth it.

However that one is pretty clearly the best Android tablet.

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Are any tablets worth it (ie. iPad)?

Just not sure if I should wait for the quad core tablets to be polished up by other companies first before I go out and spend $400. :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I think the iPad is probably worth it.

The HC tablets were little more than giant lagging phones.

Hey gang,

I have been using S7 for a long time now. Like others have mentioned, mine is getting slow and laggy. I have tried several of the fixes without a lot of luck.

I'm thinking of reflashing but since S7 developement has ceased I am also interested in what else is out there. Can those who have tried them all please give me your opinions?

Should I just reflash S7 or is there a newer ROM out there with superior stability and solid, smooth, reliable performance for the Cappy?
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
I changed the LCD density on a cheap $80 7 inch tablet I got from the original 200 to 240 like in this ROM and the icons and text got larger yet smoother and sharper. Any idea as to why this happens?

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
The kindle isn't worth it for individuals with a budget? :/
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Possibly, but only because it's $200.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
The kindle isn't worth it if you actually want an android tab period. For $50 more I got the Acer A100. And I was on a budget. I was originally looking to get the nook tab but not having the android market was a big NO for me. Plus I wanted the gig of RAM. It makes a big difference.
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:
I have tried them all and have to say that the captivate runs only so well with it processor and feather to date...stay with S7..It can't really be out done..

Same here. I have been on S7 forever but have been considering a re-flash. Figured I would check out this thread and xda for anything good to find the below quote.

Now I am wondering if I should just wait....

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
A fresh flash and a good manual restore is no more than 30 minutes. It's worth it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] DarkVoidification:
Does this ROM remove the annoying restrictions placed on your phone once the battery drops below 15%?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Not on the camera but there are a couple of options for that. iride113 knows them.
[Captivate Android Development] DarkVoidification:
@iride113 how do you remove the restriction?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I wish. Needs Samsung to put out official I9000 ICS for that to happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Exactly, and they said either they won't do ics for galaxy s devices or it will be a lite version. Personally, I don't care about touchwiz crap, I just want full ics.

[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
You need to flash a stock rom (preferably bootloader free) to repartition your file system first. They use a totally different file system.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Of course you need bootloaders, check the stickies in Development for more info. If you're trying to install Serendipity VII then read the first post in this thread, all you need is there.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
I reflashed S7. All is good right now. It was a bit of a pain getting everything back the way it was even with TB batch, especially Swype. Rule to remember -- reboot after downloading a new Swype installer.

So if I hypothetically changed the build.prop to show a different phone/processor and rebooted and got stock in a boot loop and tried restoring the old build.prop using recovery and an update.zip and it didn't work should I return it?

Hypothetically of course...

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:

[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Lol no see I got a coby kyros tablet ereader for Christmas and I put the Android market on it but it wouldn't let me see certain apps so in order to change the foot print I modified the build.prop to mirror that of my phone and it worked but when I rebooted the tablet it's such I'm a boot loop with no adb or Fastboot support but I have access to the recovery menu so I took a system.img from a stock and extracted the build.prop and when I put it in an update.zip it verified the file and started installation and then it aborts... So ya....

Lol I know it was stupid but I think so cuz I can get it into recovery, fastboot, and some other thing called fwdn mode. When I plug it into the computer in these modes it recognizes it but says I don't have the drivers when I do so I've spent all day trying to fix it

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Well the problem lies with your tab so I guess it's probably save to look in your tab's forum for a way to restore it to stock and not just the build.prop. Cause I think even if you did manage to restore the original build.prop the damage has been done. What it does is not only trick the market but every single app on your tab.

Love that saying. Too bad I don't live by it. :rolleyes:

So I know you got rid of your Galaxy S II, and I know the Focus was your Bro's but what happened to your Infuse 4G? Not that you need it since any ROM you make would most likely be an i9000 ROM, right? Just curious?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
My brother is using the Infuse. I'm using the Captivate. No one is using the Focus.

The Infuse is still "mine".

Last resort, I'd do a complete factory data reset and tell Coby it won't boot and ask for an exchange.

Just an idea (kind of a spur of the moment one) but maybe the reason you can't install any package updates in CWM is because the packages are for the Coby and your build.prop is showing something so it won't allow it to install.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Well all I did was pull the build.prop and create my own update.zip and try to install it could it be because it's the build.prop maybe the recovery won't let you push it? Or maybe the script is incorrect?

After switching to this ROM from stock Eclair w/ Voodoo lagfix I started getting random shutdowns. After reading some on the forums I flashed the Talon Kernel but am still having the problem.

I've never had random shutdowns in the year I've had my Captivate until now.

After switching ROMs I used Tibu to restore several apps and settings, but haven't added anything I didn't have before.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Eclair isn't Gingerbread. The settings that work on Eclair aren't going to work on Gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I am running Serendipity VII build 3 with the latest Talon. The last Talon gave me random shutdowns. This one doesn't. As for restoring stuff, never restore settings, I don't care how benign you think they are. Apps and data only, and even then, only if the data is critical - for me it is, as I use my Captivate for business. You're much better off reinstalling apps from the market if you're having problems.
[Captivate Android Development] toddvb:
OK. So can I just CM the S7_Build_3.zip over what I have and try again? Or do I need to go back and Odin the reorient kernel again?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
No! Just go into recovery. Wipe data and caches just to be save. Flash build 3 then the updated kernal (in post 2) and you should be good.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
The zip wipes everything I think if I remember correctly. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Were you on Gingerbread bootloaders already with no issues? If yes, then go ahead and reflash the ROM. If you've had problems, then what what I would do is follow the installation instructions on the download page from #1 through to the end. Once you're up and running, then flash the Talon kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I think they do too. But just to be safe I wrote it. It doesn't hurt to do it twice anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:

I went ahead and deleted user data and cache, reinstalled the S7 zip and kernel from post 2 and the add-ons from the S7 Kitchen. The only other thing I will do until after the next few days is add my work exchange email account. That's all I really need.

Thanks for your help!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:

Noob question coming from a not-so-much-noob, but I'm just trying to take extra precautions as I did eventually hard brick my last Cappy.

I'm currently on Mosaic III which has treated me exceptionally well these past few weeks. I thought I was at a point where I gave up my old flashing habits, but I find it hard to resist a fresh Serendipity release.

So basically, my question is...

Since I'm currently on a custom GB ROM (Mosaic III), can I simply reboot into CWM and flash the Serendipity VII ROM on top of this without any other procedures? Or is it best to flash to stock GB first? I feel that is where I crippled my last phone, although I think I ruled it to be due to a faulty USB cable at the time.

Seems I can't get off the T-Mobile towers. I can specify to use the 850 WCDMA but when I check again, I'm on GSM 1900 every time. Love the ROM, modem not so much. Anyone have a suggestion to try? I'm in central IL if anyone around has a good one they use, let me know.

you're in luck pal because I just did the same thing. I came from mosaic 3, and flashed serendipity 7 over it without any trouble. reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. I also performed a factory wipe/data reset to be on the safe side. Then flashed serendipity without issue :)

battery

Woke up this morning with 85% charged battery:rolleyes:..I guess that is a gr rom problem we will live with even on stock roms....

But must report this is a smooth runnung Rom

Donation for Bought >Mikes separately coming soon this week..

Thank you guys:D
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
In case it hasn't been mentoned, there's a typo on the features page of the site:

ASOP MMS w/ Lockscreen Notifications

Update on the ROM in general:

Everything runs smooth. Even smoother than GR-12. I use the following:

LauncherPro+ with themes enabled and scrollable widgets.

Minimalistic text.

Handcent (I actually freeze the stock MMS app).

PowerAmp (again I freeze the stock music player).

TiBu - restore went fine from external_sd.

Tasker.

Widgetlocker.

Modem speeds are good, but not the best I've ever seen, still nothing to complain about. Sound quality seems better than GR-12.

Startup is faster and it takes less time for all my stuff to load up and the device be fully usable. Shutdown takes a little longer, it seems.

Here are the only two problems I've run across:

Battery charge weirdness. The same thing that others have reported with GB ROMs, I'll charge to full, then unplug and be instantly at 85%. If I then replug, I can get to 98%. This may actually just be a reporting issue and the battery IS fully charged, just showing the wrong number. And, yes, I've done two cycles and wiped stats, etc.

Secondly, Android OS is still taking a disgusting amount of battery life away by running in the background. The previous method of freezing the Maps app seems to work so far. More on this later if I come across anything.

Overall, this is still the best GB ROM out there, and this is the most useful and feature-rich my phone has been. I would recommend this over all competition to any Captivate users that do more than just check email and make calls and texts. And, no, Mikey and Chance didn't put me up to this. Or bribe me. Or anything.

Market Apps?

My flash went perfect as far as I know, changed the modem but that is all.

One thing I did notice is most of my apps are not showing up in the market? I ran tibu as normal and restored "restore missing apps w/data". Should I run "restore all apps w/data" and see if this fixes it, or what would be a solution so I get get my updates?

Thanks in advance,

PS: I also noticed that the flash / install process did not delete anything from the device, pics etc (internal sd). Normal?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:

[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Weirdest problem ever.

I've been a loyal serendipity user for about 4-5 months now and this was the first time I had a stability issue with it.

My power button just died on me.

The day started with the phone getting extremely laggy and the power button getting non-responsive. I kept rebooting the phone hoping it'll sort things out but just like that, the power button stopped working. Everything else is fine. I know it's not physically damaged or anything because I can still do the 3-button-phone reset (power + vol up + vol down).

Explanation? Solution? Suggestion?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Take a picture. Seriously. Try taking a picture, if that fixes it, then get into recovery and clear the cache.

If it were my phone, I'd try a kernel flash. Talon works well for me on SVII. Flashing a kernel will also clear everything out, too.
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
* Took pictures. Didn't work.

* Went into recovery anyway, cleared the cache. No change.

* I even did a full wipe of my storage (because the only way I can access CWM is by selecting "SD card and phone storage > Format USB storage" which reboots the phone into CWM)

Link to Talon kernel please? Is this it?

I was also thinking about a full ROM wipe. Would that help?

EDIT: If it's worth mentioning- in the CWM menu, the "home" button works as the "select" button instead of the "power" button. Smells like I9000 compatibility-issue-something to you?
