Belay all that - oh my goodness, I rebooted the phone, and it's there. Finally. Yippee! Restoring now.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Seems I'm the only one with the issue. Worked the first time or 2 after flashing, so I may just reflash this weekend. Depends on how often I have to reboot, which will hopefully/probably not be very often
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Try clearing the Launcher data.
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:

A what?

There's so much CWM3 misinformation.

Have you tried wiping your Dalvik Cache in Recovery mode? That worked for me in GR.

It said failed when I tried to download it
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's not CWM-flashable. You have to unzip it and proceed from there.

The modem thread (top thread of forum) has all the modems. I think it has 2 of each...one for CWM2.5 and the other for CWM3.

ok no problem, i downloaded on a 3g connection so Id believe that.

It is Ok that i flashed over gr12 tho, right??

What is the difference between the Serendipity VII build 1.zip and the Installation.7z? Can the zip be copied to sd and loaded from there? where as the installatin.7z has to done through Odin3 1.7?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Open Installation.7Z and you'll find Odin in there - you need all those files to switch to Gingerbread, then you flash the Serendipity VII ROM file. Read the instructions on the download page! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
so this mobiletech mod is only going to have a single jpeg as the bootscreen? theres no way to have my own bootanimation.zip?

EDIT: ok sanam.zip i can replace with my bootanimation if i want? someone explain to me, laymen terms
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Does the screen seem brighter even with "Auto" unchecked and the slider all the way down?
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
ok, i get it. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
2 different things. This will change the FIRST screen, of the 3. The second is the kernel boot screen the third is the boot animation.

1. use the mobiltech zip (open it and read the Read Me, then do what it says)

2. baked into kernel

3. boot animation can be replaced with a root file explorer or custom zips.
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
I have a really spotty 3g connection where I was currently at, so I figured the download was corrupted. It took 3 hours LOL

I just wanted to make sure that it was ok that I flashed over GR12

Gonna download from wifi, that should do it

Thanks for all the replys regarding my question
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
SpeedMod (the kernel in 6.4) had a reduced lowest brightness setting.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
OK, this is looking pretty sweet. Any themes for it...like a matte blue?

Saw Serendipity 6.4 themes in the Theme section, but not sure these are usable on VII.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
So am I missing something, or is there no 'mount sd' option anywhere. And it doesn't ask when I plug in to USB. I can't find the usb options anywhere. Coming from Serendipity 6.4 so maybe this is a GB change?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
That would explain it.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
followed the instructions on the serendipity VII page and now i am stuck on Download...what do i do from here?

[Captivate Android Development] elwilson4:
When i originally installed GR-12 I had the same issue. Close Odin, unplug, battery pull and switch to a usb port on the back of your pc. That is what fixed the Odin problem for me.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
I always mount from the notification bar. It's been there in the past and it's still there on S7.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
always try the usb port on the motherboard if you have one. also, if that still doesnt help u could try a different version of odin.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Battery pull and start afresh.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
darn just got owned by that mobiletech zip file too lol:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
ok I closed Odin, unpluged pulled batter and restarted phone but now i get a cell phone icon with a ! and a computer icon....????
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Remove battery > Hold Volume Down + Power > insert battery > DL Mode > plug in USB
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
I still get the samething cell phone icon with a ! and a computer icon...
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
if that doesnt work....hold power, volume down, and HOME button. that got me into download mode yesterday when odin locked on me.
[Captivate Android Development] id10terror:
-Disconnect USB, Pull battery, and reinsert battery

-Hold Volume Down button, and press Power button at the same time (phone should be in Download mode now)

-Open Odin> Select PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC files in their respective places

(should look like this-- http://i56.tinypic.com/aax013.jpg)

-Reconnect USB, Press start and do not touch your phone until it reboots

We'll move to the next steps when you finish these...
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
This is a great rom. I am loving it. Only issue I have notice is recording video at 1280x720 still does not work it just stutters too much. It must be a gingerbread issue as other GB rom's I have run had the same issue but 720x480 works fine. Again best rom I have tried. Definately a keeper on my i897.

So far everything else works great for me.

Big thanks to both of you on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Could it be an issue with whatever the media is that it is recording to? What SD card are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Use your jig >> works everytime.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
MBC663 & id10terror I tried what you suggested but no luck, do i need a jtag?

[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Same here. Other UOT changes worked, but not the overscroll. :(
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
I am recording it directly to the phone. No SD is being used. @ kevria

If anyone want the overscroll effect just p.m me and ill send you the framework.jar i patched.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
The TW4 from this post has worked well for me for a couple weeks now. There's no landscape view, but it seems to have none of the stutter/lag/power usage issues that other TW4 versions have had. And it's in a nice, cwm flashable form.

[Captivate Android Development] nuwayman:
same thing with me. Not sure why. I ended up converting all my music that was in wma to mp3. Now all is good.
[Captivate Android Development] tjarrard:
I had this problem last night. Here is what I did that worked for me

Not plugged into usb

Pull battery wait 30 sec or so

Put back in.

Hold volume up and tap power button

This put me back in download mode.

Good luck

I'd love to see the lower brightness in S7 if possible. AMOLED screens are wonderful but BRIGHT!

-WW
[Captivate Android Development] id10terror:
I've had that screen before and not needed a JIG.. Our phones can be picky sometimes.. Make sure when you have the USB cable unplugged.. Keep the battery out for 15-30 seconds... Pop the battery back in.. Hold Vol Down and Power button until you see the Download Mode screen..
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Whoa. Major issues. Two sleep deaths, maybe. I can't be sure, because I can't get the phone to go into deep sleep. The phone would lock up with a black screen, and nothing would happen until I did a long press of the Power and Volume up, to go into recovery. So I tried to switch to Talon, using SGS kernel flasher. With the deep sleep issue, I wondered if flight mode toggling would help, but I got a reboot coming out of flight mode.

I think I'll revert back, and step back from the leading edge and follow the thread for a while to see if I'm the only one, or whether others are having the same issues.

Don't use the one posted for gr12..............caused boot loop..........no problem. Just flashed the rom again.....all is well. :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] ansh25:
Assuming that you are trying to install a apk, try Root Explorer or Super Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I wiped Continuum and flashed this. Voltage Control doesn't work.

Should I flash the reorient kernel or do I have to re do the entirety of the instructions this time?

I don't really like Odin, too risky.:(
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
So, those of you that donate, how generous are you being?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I have gotten $1-100. And all amounts in between.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Hit quote on the wrong messge. This is for the gent who sees a little PC symbol. "I still get the samething cell phone icon with a ! and a computer icon..."

I believe what you are seeing is a soft-bricked phone. If that is the case, the normal button combinations are not going to get you to a download mode. You would have to default your phone using something like this:

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

This would put you back to Stock captivate on 2.1 (don't know if there is one that will stock 2.2).
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
tjarrard & id10terror i tried what you guys suggested and no luck :(
[Captivate Android Development] andyondroid:
First off, i'd like to throw out a big Thank You to MikeyMike for Serendipity. I've been using it exclusively since the 5.x series, and have always appreciated the clean look and overall polished feel of the ROM. Been patiently waiting for this next incarnation ever since the i9000 GB source dropped, and its finally here! Super happy with it. It's all the little things like the responsiveness when unlocking, the grey icons and simple theming, the black status bar, and even the lack of the GB 'glow' effect which i'm not a fan of.. not to mention all the stuff done under the hood to make it so responsive and snappy. So again, thanks for the ROM, i can't say enough good things about it.

And now a couple other things i've noticed since i flashed yesterday. When setting home screen wallpaper using gallery, it doesn't work properly. The image is stretched. This only applies when cropping a portrait-style image, and not a wide image, and only on the home screen. Lock screen wallpaper works normally.

Also, i experienced the well known 'Android OS' battery drain bug overnight. Before i went to sleep, the battery level was at 28%, and should've been above 20% when i woke up, but the phone was dead. I checked and 'Android OS' was using 23% battery with 90min usage, second only to Display. When i went to sleep 'android os' was only at a few percent. I should also mention the phone was flashed with a fully charged battery. I have screenshots if needed.

I've experienced the same battery drain about 5 times over a month's period with GR as well so this isn't anything new, and i've done enough reading to know this bug affects all i9000 based GB roms. I realize this isn't a Serendipity specific bug, but i thought i'd mention it.

Once again, Thanks so much for this fantastic ROM.

USB Drivers

Lost Windows connectivity when I flashed S7. Which Samsung USB drivers are needed, i9000 or i897?

Edit: The USB media player setting no longer works. The driver installed now is for GT-i9000. It used to allow me to drag files from my Windows PC to either internal or external SD card. Connectivity for USB debugging seems to be OK.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
ya i beleive it is soft bricked. I am still working on getting into download mode but i am having no luck as of yet.

Hopfully after i get into download mode. If I do do I open odin3 one-click download and click start then after it reboots, click Master Clear?
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
On a separate note, does anyone know which theme might be compatible so far. I can attest that the Mosaic JVH themes do not as the create a loop.

Have heard the few for apex work as it too is JVO.

Any others?
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
My EMBEDDED album art isn't working. I did a couple searches on this and it seems to be a recurring issue on these 2.3.3 builds. I use mixzing and I don't want to use the album art grabber because I already have all the art embedded in my songs already.

Anybody know of a fix yet? It seems to have something to do with not having a thumbnails folder in the "Android" directory of the sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:

Whats the difference between GR-12 and this? Is GR-12 defunct now?
[Captivate Android Development] mikeyman2171:

[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
You guys should try using JVO themes ... better for compatability
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Did the market got updated? Cant seem to paste the theme market or something is new to this market on the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Pretty much.
[Captivate Android Development] :
First off all I would like to thank you so much for the new ROM. It is smoother than a baby's bottom lol. The modem is awesome, I'm topping out at 4,900 kbps download on speed test and 2,200 kbps upload. By far the best GB ROM out there, and much better than GR-12. Thank you so much.

can you post it :D

EDIT; found it. thanks a lot
[Captivate Android Development] petrichor8:
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

HAHAHAHAH, i love it!

flashed, so freakin excited! tibu is restoring now, can't wait to start playing with it, the little I have though, sooooo freakin smooth!

honestly, i've missed ser6, but was using gr-12 because i wanted to have GB...now I have both, and mikeymike & chance, HUUUGE thank you thank you :D
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
I had tried all the GB roms and had gone back to froyo. I have not been running it long, but wow!! Awesome rom, and I was not a Serendipity fanboy. I might be now.
[Captivate Android Development] ansh25:
Same here with me... though Tibu seems to be taking a loooong time for restoring today and also I if go out of Tibu using either Home or Back, the restore just stops. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I just lost a good portion of my album art in all of the music apps, while the ones that remained are now in very poor quality. Might anyone be able to tell me why?

Before anyone asks, I did double-check the files' ID3 tags in Windows, nothing has been changed. The pics are still as high res as they were before.

This is the only "bug" that I've managed to find.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
This ROM is great so far! I installed it last night and so far haven't had any problems and the battery life has been great. Keep up the good work! I'll try to donate soon.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
Hopfully after i get into download mode. If I do do I open odin3 one-click download and click start then after it reboots, click Master Clear??????
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Check out my post before. All embedded album art doesn't seem to work in 2.3.3 builds. The low quality ones might be images in the same folder. I haven't seen one dev address this yet.

I did some searching across the different roms and everyone just prescribes using a different music player. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. The issue is embedded art not working when there is no reason for it not to.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Correct-amundo. I've been having issues with this, and everyone's just like "oh, use a different media player"... BAH.

Was hoping someone would actually know the root cause of it by now; I remember having this issue with GR-9 back in the day and I rolled back to CM7 because of it. Now that I'm aware that ATT refurbs don't Odin well, I'm just wary of what I flash. So, here I am on GB with bootloaders that have working button combos :D.

EDIT: As an XDA regular, I feel ashamed for forgetting to search first >_<. Especially because you just posted it on the last page >____<.

You can flash a different kernel, as long as it's a Gingerbread kernel.

DON'T flash any animations or themes from a Froyo ROM.

Oops, abee is right about the bootanimation. Belay my advice about animations.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
can you link me to that kernel?

and if you can, is it stable?
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Out of curiosity, do you use swype? This them broke swpe for me as did the Matted Blues for Apex.

I might try reloading it, uninstalling swype and putting back in the swype from this rom.

Edit / Update: I tried the theme again, Swype broken. Deleted swype/apk and installed one from gr12. Still broken (although swype theming was gone from matted blues so I knw I truly replaced it). Oh well, nandroid here I come,

Any other ideas or source for Matted Blues? I really do like that theme.

Hooray! Thanks to abee_13 and the UOT kitchen I have three things implemented that make me very happy:

battery percentage

transparent status bar & notification

green overscroll glow

Now all I want are a) backlight when the screen is touched, and b) call recording.

I was wrong, I still can't get WCDMA 850. I've done the dance and flashed every modem in the modem thread, no 850 with AT&T.

Also, I flashed new battery and signal icons from UOT, the battery icon sticks and works, but the signal keeps switching between the Gingerbread and the ones I picked in UOT. It won't stay the new ones. Never ran into this before, any ideas anyone?

My bad. I was distracted by the bold letters just below saying "not cwm flashable." for the boot screen change.
