@Sarius24

Let me know if this is what you want, about phone screen going dark during call seams to be a common issue just try passing your fingers by the proximity sensors (near your speaker )has worked for most bringing screen back I only had this issue once, maybe this will be worked on.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Okay, this is the same settings icons as the 6.4? Also what do I do with this .APK? It's odd cause im normally used to flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Here goes a file you can flash in CWM, it is the same but this one is from a theme that is made for JVO ROM'S
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Alright thanks a lot for going out and doing this for me I appreciate it. Mind just telling me what to do with the first .apk file do i just install it like a normal application?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
You can just delete it I placed it in the file I uploaded, you can save that zip folder for future use, if you see an apk that you want to use open the zip file(don't unzip) with winrar or 7zip and delete the current apk file and drop in the apk file you need and then flash as you would normally
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Yes, off and on. I am using S7 v2 Kernel with S7 ROM and PaulDiddyRemix Theme with the TW4 Launcher. Running fairly smooth. The only times I had the soft boots were first after the installz, I re-installed everything and made sure to re-boot each and every time. This helped alot. Today running bug free, so far.
[Captivate Android Development] offwiththeface:
I'm also having the problem with the recent Calls list it just closes it right away other than that this rom is the shiznit lol
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Thanks. Themes worked. But now settings keep crashing when I try to click a setting. =S yikes.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
GeoTagging Disable ???

Where would we disable the GeoTagging in the camera with S7? Can we disable it?

Also, if this is something to install, can it be made for CW2.5 that comes with the S7/ Odin pack? This would keep it out of the drawer correct?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Should work, well giving you the original settings file apk. place it in the file I gave you to replace the colored settings, put it in folder/zip file- I will mess around with it a little on my phone and see what went wrong
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Hey couldnt i just rip the coloured settings from serendipity 6.4 or would that be bad? I notice that the settings file you sent me had many different options. So it might actually remove some of the Serendipity VII options eh?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
This is why I always wait for ChanceM to make an official flashable zip - or one of the other members who work mainly on Serendipity mods. I hate fixing broken stuff ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Hmm. after days of stability, Today I have had the phone spontaneously reboot on me twice. The only thing I can think of that has changed is I put in that circle battery mod, yesterday. Is there a way to remove that, short of redoing the rom?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Yah, it's better I just wait. And from what White explained to me, it's actually pretty easy to fix by just replacing the file with the original. So all is good. I just can't wait for some colour =3
[Captivate Android Development] ln100:
If I ever want to back out of a theme or mod....

Look at the files inside the theme zip file, and pull those files (with the same name) from the original S7 zip file and move them back into place with Root Explorer or something similar.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
That won't work as far as I know because 6.4 is froyo not GB like 7 is

@reinbeau I hear you but, I won't upload anything that did not work for me on here

and I used a zip file from the kitchen(S7) just renamed it and changed the file inside- has worked a million times for me
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
I've noticed that first on gr and now s7 it starts off great and slowly gets worse. But its only been a few days on s7 and now I'm having phone calls cut out on me after like 5 seconds I lose the network connection and it comes right back when I hang up.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
TW4 on S 7

Got tw4 working good on my phone but how do you change the items in the dock?? I can't find any help elsewhere so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
Its well known i guess but What I don't get is how are people living with this. And is it going to ever get fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
i think the one from GR12 would be more suitable? just a thought, i know its jvb but not sure if that makes a diff
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Yeah, hindsight rocks. But, that doesn't help now :-)
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
you can change the icons in the dock by going into the app folder, hitting the menu button and editing. from there you can drag icons to the dock. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
Thanks..........but the edit button FCs the launcher. :( I'll try reflashing the apk and see what happens. Everything else seems to be working fine....just the edit button.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
That's about right... the one thing you need... :rolleyes: hope reflashing it takes care of the problem
[Captivate Android Development] ln100:
Can't you open the zip file you installed the theme with and see what files it replaced, them pull/install the original files from the S7 install zip? It's really easy.
[Captivate Android Development] factorycell:
It seems that the Battery life is getting better every day. I use the phone for Internet and phones calls, Internet on 3g, not so much with wifi. I have the unlimited data plan grandfathered from my Iphone days.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
@Sarius24

here goes just use this zip file, delete the other one from your phone-

This is just recolored settings apk from S7
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
flash mikey GR rom. youll be very pleased. just as stable, just no BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I'm assuming you already have root ex? replace this settings.apk with the one in your system
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I did the work for him, colored the original settings APK :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ln100:
I use Root Ex - Any file manager with access to system would work.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
I shall try it now! Merci Beaucoup!

Edit: Tried it! Thanks so much white00gt the colours are awesome! Love it. This Rom is complete for me now. Until they fix the minor bugs. =3
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Just noticed something small (rarely use it) but where did the smiley's go, don't see the option in swype keyboard and in GB keyboard doesn't show any- wife uses phone and is very much into smilies-lol
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you go into the messaging app the smilie button should show up.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
JL2 and talon have increased mine quite a bit
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
My wife thanks you
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
You can re-flash just the stock framework-res.apk (or copy it from the stock ROM with Root Explorer or File Expert into the /system/framework folder) and that would take you back to stock as far as the battery and status bar goes.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
THanks. Will keep this in mind. At the moment I have install the Apex 6.4 Matte Blue theme. I also remembered I had changed modems and put jvo back in. Will see how this goes. It's a very nice rom.

Conundrum

I have flashed S-7 four times now. First, Zip-1, and it was very might fine, smooth as a babies butt. So I figured, why not go whole hog and I flashed the add-on and Kernel 2.0.

It doesn't work for me, and I can't figure out why. Three times I flashed it. I even d/l new copies of the zips. Black Screen of Death, dropped calls left & right, Samsung email.apk doesn't work, and the battery life of a May Fly (actually much less; a May Fly at least lives 24 hours, my battery drained in about 4.5 hours).

Why should I have such lousy results when everyone else if is in 7th Heaven?

help, he pitously cries
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Are you sure that everyone having good results is using Kernel 2.0? ;)

Added: Mine started going sideways with Kernel 2.0. I'm going to do a full wipe and start again, just to see.

Android. Mate, and which is also a a launcher. Super Manager is also good.

Sent from my speedy and sentient captivate thanks to cognition!
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
2 days in to initial flash, stayed with the kernel that came with the installation (1.1), but swapped modem for JL2

Why 1.1? Only thing I saw changed was update to voodoo 9. Didn't care enough to spend the 3 seconds to flash for that and saw quite a few people stating having problems with v2 (not making a causal link or anything, just reducing steps that can go wrong)

Observations:

1) 1 day 10 hrs off charger, currently at 9-11% (my phone has learned this neat trick where it will charge itself up from 9% back to 11% (har har, yea yea, I'm still recalibrating the battery)

2) Yet to experience a single wifi error

3) Experienced 1 round of "Android OS leak" bug

4) Experienced 1 random reboot out of the blue after checking email in hour 1

5) No dropped calls/low volume problems (sat on hold with comcast for 45 minutes because they thought it would be cool to charge me $120 for a cable package I had shut off 2 months ago)

6) Sustained speed/responsiveness through use (I use to get choppy response after so many hours/days of S6.4)

7) Quick GPS lock (<5 seconds)

Gotta say, still diggin it.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
What is the benefit of ext4? I noticed that with the new kernel lagfix converts partitions and some other stuff(have no idea what stuff is-lol)

to ext4 rather than rsf(I think I spelled that right)

could that be causing issues for some?
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
Which kernel? I'm not seeing the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] erikbacon:
This is a good ROM, but I think I will go back to GR-12, anyone else thinking/doing the same?
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Mine is at 8%, drops to about 5% when i use it, and then when i turn the screen off and on again it is back at 8%.

I HAVE STUMBLED UPON THE INFINITE BATTERY

also, Winamp and google voice have both had a memory leak so far, consuming about 20% of total battery life when i did not open them. fresh install too (not from TiBu)
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Quick question, I tried adding the samsung music player via Serendipity Kitchen yet every time I flash it it never installs? I was able to get the video player to install but the music player never seems to install. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or do I have to un-install the AOSP music player first or something?
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I am considering it. Although I will most likely change out the kernel and modem with what I learned from this thread, and probably come back to S7 in a release or two.
[Captivate Android Development] jetpuck73:
Not me, an update will come!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
No way. S7 has been much better than GR-12 for me.

So there will be more add-ons soon hopefully. And does anyone know how to fix the call thing? Whenever I call someone screen goes black. (my only issue so far)
[Captivate Android Development] FridayJ:
I did the same thing Erik.... battery seems to last forever on GR-12!
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
VII lasts forever, too. After casual use (light gaming, some texts, some surfing, some calls) and being in areas without a good signal, I'm at 55% left after 14h 16m 11s on battery.

[Captivate Android Development] cyberranger87:
Greetings!

I have my Capivate on GR-14. I made a backup in CWM. Then installed Serendipity 7 via CWM.

That went well but I decided to go back to my GR-14 backup until I had time to configure Serendipity the why I want it. So, back into recovery, and I did a recover on the backup I justed made. On reboot, the Serendipity boot screen displayed and I was returned to recovery mode.

ah oh ... so I redid the Serendipity zip file via CWM. Now, on reboot I still see the Serendipity boot logo then back to recovery.

Any suggestions on the best way to get out of this loop?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Battery as of today.

Lowest display possible.

No data or Wifi for the most part (you can tell where in the pictures).

Very Light Use.

Kernel #2

Stock Modem.

Compared to last battery stats, it's a little better but still, I get crap. :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
Wifi is a battery hog. It users way more than HSPA our 3g. Also the stock modem may not new the best for you. Modems are location specific based on the towers in your area.
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
GR-14? they didn't go that high.

Anyway, I suggest following the instructions from the beginning using Odin to redo the bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I know. A few pages back I first displayed my issue. Stupid battery life since the beginning of using Froyo. :mad:

I use to use Talon and JL2 modem but people told me to go back to stock and see how battery life is from there.

These are those (crappy) results, but yet slightly better then usual. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
Did anyone find out how to restore the unicolor grey on the aosp lockscreen?

After turning it into a light/dark grey combo with the battery mod, it's kind of annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
That's not always the case though. Some people get better battery life on wifi. On HSPA/3G I lose 1.5%-2% an hour. Last night with wifi always on in 7 hours I lost only 5%.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Talon and JL2 has been good for me.

From my understanding there is talon, serendipity, and reorient kernels? reorient 1.2 may be more stable for you.

also try out a bunch of different modems and see how that works. i tried about 5 last night before i settled on JL2. the next closest one was JVO. JVE, JVK, JV6, and KC1 were crap for me.
[Captivate Android Development] cyberranger87:
LOL ... sorry ... GR-12. Any thoughts on why the CWM restore failed?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Guess I am going to head back on over to the Modem section... for the millionth time this month... :cool:

I still think my Display is eating up my battery WAY to much. Agree/Disagree?
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
your screenshot says you were at 16%? I am *always* above 40%. I also use mine constantly all day.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Yeah but look how long it has been on for... 32 minutes. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
That looks like a poorly calibrated battery to me. Next time you flash something, charge to full from the wall with the Samsung adapter and USB cable (until green batt says 100% on it) right before you flash. Then unplug, boot recovery (Vol Up+Pwr), flash, Wipe battery stats, and let it boot. Wear the battery all the way down without plugging. The instant it dies, plug it in and turn it back on. Let it sit plugged in until it's full. Once full, use as desired. YOu can't get a good idea of battery performance until you make two full discharge cycles.

Also, it's not a good idea to go below 15% on a regular basis. And NEVER let it sit for more than a few seconds at 1% or less. If you know you can't plug it in for a while. Shut it off at 15% if you can, 5% if you have to.

We can afford to be a little harder on our batteries because A, we can replace them, B, they are cheap.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
You wipe battery stats before booting a new rom initially? i thought you were supposed to bump charge a new rom and then wipe the stats?

what is the reasoning on not going below 15%?

this is on a related note, but my phone can reach 100% while on and charging, but when i charge it from the off position, it never registers 100%, always a slight gap.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
You always seem to be keeping up with my battery issues :p

I flashed at 100% with the AC outlet adapter, and just did a full battery calibration when I flashed from what you adviced from last night.

Guess I will charge up and let the battery completely drain tomorrow and then take it from there. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Apologies, if this already been answered. I was trying to install an app from amazon appstore, it will fail all time and will ask to do amazon 1-click setting. Did anyone else encounter this issue? Also, this is the first time I'm getting this error. I did search, and found out that people were talking about bypassing 1-click setting if they are travelling outside of US. Well, I'm still in US :D.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
From the looks of the screen shot you were fine til the last hour when you battery drop down a good 50% almost instantly.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I know, weird there. The battery started to drain fast(er) because I got home and started to use Wifi.

All of a sudden, boom - 15% battery warning, so I plugged the phone if for a quick second and the battery went back up to 36% percent (if I remember correctly). And from there it drained instantly to the point where the phone wouldn't turn on.

Sounds like battery calibration to me........ :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I don't think so. You said you used Battery Calibration from the market didn't you. (Could have been someone else.) But if you did, doing it again is absolutely worthless. I say F. it, charge to 100% and flash back to complete stock 2.1update1. If you do that and don't restore apps but you still have drain, it's either the phone, battery, or the screen you put in.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I guess I will do it this weekend and just tough it out this week to see what happens after a few more battery cycles... :cool:

Does your phone reboot or just turn off? I just had my phone replaced under regular AT&T warranty (1 year if bought new) because it was shutting off.

Been playing with this rom for about an hour! It's great so far, everything is running very smoothly. No issues to report.

And to the guy asking if this is better than any froyo rom, I'd say hell yea. Good work.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I haven't had that happen, either. Tried a couple of times on different GB ROMs to make it happen and nada. I think it depends on your hardware. Some revisions seem more/less prone to it.
