Five hours and just under 50% of your battery left? That's not very good. Did you do a lot of installing/uninstalling and/or a lot of wifi/web stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The two biggest battery drains are the screen and radio. Undervolting only changes the amount of power used by the CPU. If anything it just balances out the drain added by OC, which is why the two are seen together (usually).
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Not for me. I'm complete stock. Except I replaced Framework.jar, SystemUI, and Framework.res. Other than that COMPLETE Stock.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
No. I honestly sent maybe 20 texts and check facebook for 10 minutes. Rest of the time, screen off.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You had WiFi on the entire time, so I'd suggest adjusting your Wifi Sleep Policy to something other than Never.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
You can freeze it with titanium backup I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
My battery life has been awesome.

-screen on for 3 hours

-watched youtube over wifi for at least 45 min

-Other various everyday stuff

-phone has been runnning on battery for 15 hours and 20 min

-at 34%
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Very similar to my usage.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
Mikey...again sorry about posting in your thread but the PMs just aint working??

I thought if it was ok with you, I would make various wallpapers for our Cappys using Serendipity VII brand.....is that ok with you?

I will post them to my Deviant Art page where anyone can download them and use them....they will all be 960X800.

Here's the link for anyone who is interested....I have a couple walls up there now, if you need me to remove them please tell me Mikey :)

http://idroidd.deviantart.com/

If anyone has a request for a wall I would be happy to give it a go, just give me time and a good idea of what you want. I do this for fun and my work is free I just ask you let people know where you got it.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
This may sound like a dumb question but how do I get my battery usage statistics to reset? Right now mine says over three days but I've charged since then and rebooted the phone multiple times. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I have a pretty wild request. I would like a space wallpaper, with a GB Greenish galaxy in the distance and a cool spaceship with Serendipity VII on the side as its name.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I want to try and flash build 2 of the Serendipity kernel. But, seeing as my first two times flashing this resulted in some serious battery drain, I'm a little hesitant. Any "pre flash rituals" or simple tips to offer before I give it another try?

As an alternative, any other kernels I should consider instead?
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
Boy that is wild LOL :D

I can sure give it a shot :)

send me a PM with what you want again.....and give me a few days.

Also, if you do want something send me a PM, for some reason I can't respond on PMs but I just dont want to clutter Mikey's thread up :)
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
What kind of serious battery drain did you have?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Absolute bone stock Serendipity VII, other than removing that pesky clock :) I will say I haven't reset my home screens, I use a lot of widgets - well, I may stop that seeing how much they obviously use the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I could literally watch the battery level drop by the minute while not doing anything.

One example, I pulled my phone off the charger yesterday morning (100% charge), then proceeded to fall asleep on the couch. I woke up 10 minutes later and I was at about 75%.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
For those who care,

I'm uploading a Circular Battery Mod similar to "Green A" on S6.4 for S7. ***Note: it still has clock in notification bar***

All credits go to:

1) Johnny Paranoid (PMed me instructions and files necessary to make it possible)

2) UOT Kitchen for making a CWM flashable zip (located at http://uot.dakra.lt/)

3) CorCor67 of Droidforums.net for providing the one of the closer colors to match the wifi/radio signal I could find (93d500)

The only thing I did was follow instructions, research the color, and click the buttons :P

To install:

1. Place in root of sd

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Flash via CWM

4. Enjoy!

Thanks Mike and Chance! This rom is money.

Battery drain super fast with modem KC1 and kernel TalonDEV-0.2.1-JVH :(. How to go back with serendipity modem and kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I noticed that the batt mod just posted above puts in a new systemui.apk which would put the clock back in the notification bar. Am I mistaking?
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Talon 0.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Kernel posted in the third post by chancem. And the jk4 modem is in the modem sticky thread
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
When you flashed the rom, was your battery at 100%? Did you have this insane battery drain immediately, or did you restore any apps or install any apps from the market and then the drain started?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Bluetooth doesn't really work with Talon....Yet I'm sure he'll fix it soon.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
So, I don't know if this has anything to do with any of my battery issues, but as I'm looking at the XDA app, there's a spinning circle at the bottom of the page. Kinda like there should be an ad banner there but it can't find it...just keeps on spinning... Anyone else seeing this? Could this have anything to do with the adfree function?
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Reading comprehension > me lol

I was trying to reproduce someone else's bt problem. I guess it helps if we're on the same kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Just experience my first Sleep Death or what ever its called. Black screen had to pull battery. I just charged my phone up to 100% unplugged. It was on for about 5 mins. Then black screen and nothing worked.
[Captivate Android Development] wetwhere:
Same thing happens with me. I only have to open wifi settings and it instantly reconnects. Don't even have to turn wifi on/off. Its been the same for me with all GB ROMs.

-WW
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I flashed with a full battery. I also had restored my apps - but I don't think that is related, since I restored my apps while I was on the original kernel (build 1), and I didn't suffer the same battery issues until AFTER flashing build 2. Unless its possible that one of my apps and kernel build 2 don't get along together?
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Guess that's correct, my bad. Personally never really cared to remove the clock. Find it useful sometimes when I'm browsing and I can see the time.

So ya, it has the clock still. Not sure if it can be removed via the kitchen as I'm a complete noob to the kitchen/etc.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Fyi, I extracted the frameworkres.apk and dropped it in system/framework/ then rebooted and I have the battery mod and still no clock in the notification yay!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I would flash again and this time not restore any of your apps, just to see if the restore was causing the battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Cool! May see if I like no clock later :P
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
+1 For this guy!

*EDIT* Though I just saw the attachment........did it all myself after I read the instructions...
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
ugghh...I may wait and see how things go on build 1, since I don't seem to be suffering any battery issues now. I've reflashed 3 times already trying to get it to work, so i'm not anxious to reflash a 4th time unless i absolutely have to!
[Captivate Android Development] eliminat:
9 1/2 hours of light use today, with WiFi enabled, and I'm only down to 73%. I'm definitely not complaining.

email in s7

I don't know if anyone else has had problems with the email.apk on S7, but I was unable to get auto correction or word prediction with any of my favorite keyboards (I like swiftkey personally). It has bugged me for the last couple of days. This is apparently common in i9000 gb roms but a little searching found a 2.3.4 email.apk from CM7 that has been packaged for cwm. It seems to work very well.

More info on this email.apk and download at:

[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
I'm really liking Serendipity 7, though I opted for Talon 0.2.1 instead. Of course it will take a couple cycles to see for sure, but having flashed at 100% battery and with light use and heavy undervolting (my phone is ridiculously tolerant of UV) I'm still at 70% after almost 17 hours off the charger. :cool:

Only 2 minor complaints so far: Bluetooth doesn't seem to want to work reliably, though I understand this may be a problem with BT timing out in the Talon kernel and not necessarily a problem with the ROM.

Second is that I'd really like to be able to use Fr4ggor's Modified TW4 Launcher but I can't for the life of me seem to get it to work. I've flashed it like 3 times and can't seem to find a way to turn off the default AOSP launcher. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Launcher just shows the 'Clear Defaults' button as grayed out.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Just to see I installed ADW Free from the market, and when I press the Home button the dialog asking me which launcher to use pops up like it's supposed to, so maybe there's something about the ROM that doesn't like Fr4ggor's TW4 launcher...?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
No clock is great if you use a clock app/widget like simi clock widget or Samsung digital clock widget.
[Captivate Android Development] ln100:
I had to move the files from the Fr4ggor's Modified TW4 Launcher file into /system with Root Explorer. I think the file is meant to install on green recovery, while Talon installs orange recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
OK, so as I've been investigating my battery issues further, I decided to go through my apps to see if i could find any issues. Well, it turns out that a bunch of them are force closing when i try to open them. I'm guessing this is an issue with restoring the apps via MyBackup Pro after flashing S7, so I'll have to talk to Rerware to trouble shoot that particular issue.

That leaves me with a question about all the apparent bad app(le)s that I have...could this be leading to some of the battery issues I'm experiencing? i'm anough of a noob to not know for sure, but I also feel I've researched enough and done enough tinkering to say it is likely this is a cause (if not THE cause) of my battery issues. Can anyone confirm this for me?
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Thanks, I'll play with it some then. But the updater-script in tw4_fr4gg0r.zip is already written in Edify, so it *should* be CWM3 compatible...
[Captivate Android Development] godpancho:
Hows the battery life compared to serendipity 6.4?
[Captivate Android Development] lmaoxlong:
Much better in my opinion. Mine lasts longer than 6.4 with the same amount of usage
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
This actually happened to me on continuum 5.5. It was definitely bizarre considering that the first time around, it was completely fine. Serendipity 7 had no problems. But I liked C5.5 so I tried to go back. Somehow a factory reset after installation did the trick. Maybe that might help you?
[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
I flashed his rom again but this time it worked, odin dint act like a ***** (earlier was stuck at phone ! computer).

I have small problem my regular sim card (my number) is not working can't able to make calls or connect to data network tried connecting manually but got a error message your sim card is not supported and now i am not able to search my service provider its not on the network list other are.

I did tried other sim from a different network and its working properly.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I think it's a Gingerbread problem but it lags when switching apps? I mean, when you open an app when an existing app is open and you close it and it you return to your previous app, it takes a while before it opens unlike when in Froyo? Does that makes any sense to you? I'm sorry. Lol.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Because I gutted it?
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Having an issue. Didn't do a search for it... reason being is I wouldn't know how to phrase my search. Anyways, In the first 10 mins of every call, at some point, I can hear them clear as day, but all of a sudden they will not be able to hear me. Before I flashed this particular ROM I cleared both cache and did my factory wipe... as always. I've had this ROM rocking the hell out of my phone for 3 days now with no issue until today when this started. Suggestions before a wipe and re flash would be appreciated.

Glad your on right now Mike... Got any advice?

Almost forgot to mention that putting them on hold then taking them off fixes it, but they've usually hung up by then...

I'm not starting a new post.. I'll just keep editing... Just wanted to say that turbo grannys (the free app of the day on amazon app) just made new castle come out of my nose... :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
Have you tried a different modem? JK4 maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
No, I haven't, didn't think the modem would be the case since it's worked great. Anythings worth a try. I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Quick question, Has anyone flashed the JK4 on this ROM and will I have to do the dance?

Oh Granny... You so Crazy ...

Hey Mikey,

I've got an interesting issue. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a misunderstood operation issue but if I go to messages then menu then settings then scroll down to "use original timestamps" and check it, the messages that come in have a time several hours (about 7 hours) in the future when they are from people in my time zone. The messages I send to them show the correct time. I thought it meant that I would see the real time it was sent from their phone but it's not. I'm in AZ so Mountain Standard time.

I really need help here :( .....I'm coming from GR-12. I followed installation steps to the letter. I'm not sure what went wrong with my flash back to Stock Ginger using Odin3 1.7. I'm stuck in in this bad stock Ginger limbo land. The stock Ginger flash powers itself down each time the screen times out or if I press the screen sleep button. I Have not flashed S7 yet becuase I can't use 3-button method to get into recovery mode and ADB is not working like it did before. I did everthing to the letter to step 12.

I really need some help...and advice? Should I try re-flashing to stock Ginger again? But, does anyone know if I have the right pda, phone, csc, and PIT files? I assume they are the one that come with ODIN3 1.7? Is this a correct assumption for the files?

Thanks in advance!!!

You could just flashed right from GR. That is why you read all step before attempting. Also if you hold volume down and power you get into download. No need to reflash stock gb. Just flash the kernel and go from there.

No, you have to match your modem to kernel or it will cause issues. This is an i9000 ROM, so stick with those.
