Went and got the what at best buy. Seems nice.

Plenty of headroom for Mikey to play with I think.

It is very fast. Nice display and seems very stable... But I think it needs Mikey to work it over!

Btw... I think it is too thin!

[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Well according to the changelog you should now have normal dial tones instead of the waterdrop sound in the dialer. Check that.

After 4 reboots I haven't had a single WidgetLocker problem, but I still have all of my music playlists come up empty after each reboot. May not be related to ROM, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was wondering.

Hey, that post added thing is cool :)

Mine says Build 3. I don't know why it says Build 2 for some folks. Is that the commoner thing again? Does this mean only commoners get Build 3? Heavy is the head that wears the crown?
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
Curious if the GPS works good out of the box..
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Ditto! Mine says Build 3 and I have the new dialer sounds. The new camera isn't hacked but I'm sure there's others out there that are.
[Captivate Android Development] lospulpo:
Does the new dialer rotate? *fingers crossed that it's not*
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Yes It does! Not that big of an issue though. I just turn off auto rotate in the drop down. I hate things rotating on me.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I don't get it: flashed the update again, in Recovery Mode, everything seemed to have worked fine, but it still shows Build 2...
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Redownload! He probably forgot and just changed it and reuploaded.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Yes it does! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I just redownloaded (just the update from 2 to 3) and reinstalled it. Same thing: build 2 and no change on the dialer key tones...
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Are you on the Serendipity Kernel? I'm not. I have no idea if that's the issue, but I noticed in CWM that the 'check for ext whatever' (I'm paraphrasing) had a line through it - I'm wondering if the Talon kernel is on a different lag fix and that's blocking the flash. Right now it's on the charger, it was totally dead after all my fiddling....
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Maybe. Talon has been known to not apply flashes before. I'm on kernel 4.1 and everything worked without a hitch.
[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
Before seeing the warnings in this thread, I downloaded what I thought was the Build 3 update, but it was the full ROM. I flashed it (again, thinking it was the update), and it CWM said it went well. No problems.

Rebooted... and it was softbricked. The screen just flashed between the Galaxy S I-9000 logo screen and the Serendipity VII Logo screen.

Can't boot into Recovery via button combo.

CAN boot into Download via button combo.

Tried re-installing S7 from the very beginning. Loaded Odin, put in Pit, PDA and Phone files. Reported success. Reboot... Recovery loads... lots of red error text... looks like stock recovery, volume buttons scroll through options, but power button does nothing. Can't even reboot from within recovery.

What to do?? I'm scared to go any further.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Odin one click, reload bootloaders, reflash the full build 3 rom.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Can I just flash the Serendipity 4.1 kernel or do I have to do something to the lag fix on Talon before I do?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I had something similar where I would just bootloop into CWM Recovery. I fixed it bu flashing back to stock JF6 with Odin 1-click. Then following the normal instructions from the beginning. I did not have to master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I don't think you have to do anything other than flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I just flashed Talon right after the initial full boot into S7 if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
Thanks for the help!

I didn't go back to stock with Odin 1-Click. That softbricked my other Captivate (this one with S7 is actually my son's). That time I had to use regular Odin and KB1. But I was just hesitant to do that because I'm unsure how the boot loaders would effect that.

Anyway, I started over using the full instructions on the S7 download page. This time, I checked "Phone Bootloader Update" (thanks Joecascio2000) and everything seems to be working again now. S7 is going through its initial boot right now. I decided to just stick with Build 2 for now.

This stuff is always fun... after the fact in hindsight!

Reinbeau,

Just letting you and everyone else know that I've done a dozen or so reboots tonight and not had a single problem with Widget Locker losing widgets. My build says build 3.

Sent from my Android using the power of Greyskull.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
The whole not updating thing is a Talon thing. Same issues when I was tying to do an update I did on my ROM using a different kernel.

Just download the 4.1 Kernel, reboot into recovery, wipe Dalvik, flash 4.1. Then reboot, recovery, Dalvik, update, load up and reboot again. You should be good and then go do the same process for whatever kernel you want. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Awesome. Mine now is on build 3 too, but I had to give up last night, it got too late. I'll test out WidgetLocker soon. Thank you for your help!

Yup, that was the trick, I flashed the 4.1 kernel and the update went fine. I'm going back to Talon, I can't stand the lagginess of the app drawer on 4.1.

Learned something from this about kernel compatibility, good to know!

Mikey, thank you so much for tying up all the loose ends. This is a great ROM, I can sit tight now for a few months. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Yeah, going back to the Serendipity kernel, then applying the update and flashing the Talon kernel did the trick.

Thank you all who responded. Living and learning...
[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
Has anybody else had an issue with the Marketplace disappearing? It happened the first time I installed S7 on my son's phone, and it happened again after my soft-brick/re-install last night. The Market app is there and fully functional for a while, then it is gone. The icon is there but when touching it, it says the application is not installed. Then the icon goes away too. No com.android.vending to even try clearing data or cache. It's just gone.

Each time, we were able to download the market apk from the web and reinstall it. But why are we having that problem?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's probably in the middle of updating the market to a newer version.
[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
Hmmm.... possibly... I might have to test that idea. But the first time it happened, the market was "gone" for a couple hours until I found where I could download the .apk for it.

Speaking of camera, the power button no longer takes pictures? When I click it a lock icon (like those round Master lock) comes up and no button or touch works. I click power to "unlock" and phone responds as normal.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
That hasn't worked for me for awhile, but that isn't too much of an issue, at least for me. I can live without it, YMMV.

On another note, I have to say once again thank you to Mikey. My Widgetlocker problems are gone, and that was the only thing that really bugged me. Now to sit tight for a bit until the SGS II is in my hand :)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
If someone would like to post a SGS II Camera that would work with build three, it would be much appreciated :D

I just flashed Odin3 1.7 to try his rom out (coming from cognition 4.3) and the home button doesn't work now. After I flashed the back button didn't work either but when I did the reorient kernel it worked but home button still doesn't work. I was about to load the ROM on.

Has anyone run into this or have any ideas?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Just follow directions if you get all the way through and something still doesn't work then post.
[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
Thanks, I just flashed the ROM and home button works. Guess I panicked too early!
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
The power button turns the flash on (you'll see it on the upper right side of the screen) but as we all know the Cappy doesn't have a flash. Other than that, there's just nothing I see that needs 'fixing'. Great work Mikey and everyone else! Now if I can ever afford a tablet and get rid of my laptop at home.............
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Good to know it worked.

I'll have to remember to put that patch into any future endeavors.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I believe that's a padlock if I remember correctly. Perhaps it's displaying the wrong icon, but the power button should be locking the phone.

[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I had been on GR-12 since its release, and I loved it. Glitches and hang ups here and there, but it was a beta. Then yesterday I came home and saw this. I was extremely happy, and I flashed right away. All I have to say now is oh my. S7 is just insanely smooth, and flawless. (Except for a reboot when I switch wifi on sometimes.) But I really don't even care, I love the ROM. Excellent work Mikey and Chance :)

Voice Dialer Attn: ChanceM

I think you have the wrong voice dialer on the download page. I don't think it is for gingerbread. It causes fc's when trying to use via bluetooth.

Phone would only do 1900 (which works for me, but I need both for best coverage).

Re-did the "Modem Dance" found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438

850 works again.

What I've found with JV6, is that not only does it have great 3G/H, but for me it has the best 2G/EDGE support of ANY of the modems I've tried so far. The other modems I've tried seem to have trouble switching from 3G to E and Back, or wouldn't switch to E at all. This modem has had no trouble switching to and back, and as a result not only do I have better coverage where I work (which is spotty across 3 buildings), but as it doesn't spend nearly as much time looking for signal the battery so far is incredible. Definitely my new favorite.

I know we're all Serendipity/mikeymike fan-boys here due to most of his work here on xda, however I find myself disappointed with the lack of updates & staying current. Sure you can argue "the rom works fine there's nothing to change." But that kinda goes against the basics of "development", and that's what xda is all about...
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
I agree with your definition of development and I too would love for this ROM to stay current, but you're leaving out the fact that Mike owes us nothing. Nobody on this forum owes anybody any updates or even support, everything on here is provided as is; no promises or guarantees.

Anyone know why this happens occasionally? All I did was turn on my phone and now I have to re-add all widget. Such a pain. Happens about once a month.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Either it's a Dalvik problem so in which you need to delete your widgets, wipe Dalvik, and then re-add them. Or it has to do with what way your phone turns off. Personally, when I would just pull out the battery, and then turn it on, it would lose all my widgets. Never happened when I would reboot or shutdown correctly. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Its probably the dalvic then. I always turn off my phone using the extended menu. If it happens again ill try what you said. Thanks
