Seems funny, it goes on and on and on...

Mikey they have a new rom so focus has changed from "when will mikey create/update a new rom, to battery life sucks on this rom

People keep in mint the key to this, TRY DIFFERENT MODEMS!

You also need to give modems at least a battery cycle or so to determine what it's doing for you.
[Captivate Android Development] tsan81:
Never had this happen before....

Anytime I search in the Android Market, it force closes. It searches for a few seconds, and then force closes. Otherwise the Market works fine. Any suggestions??? Makes finding stuff a bit difficult.

I've tried clearing the cache from manage apps, and clear data from Tibu. Also, backed it up with Tibu, uninstalled it, and restored it, still nothing.

I have VII with Bluedipity, 2.0 kernel, and battery mod from S7 site.
[Captivate Android Development] picklesnickles:
When I try to open the Installation.7z file on my brothers PC I cannot get it to open for the life of me. I've been trying to extract it with various programs but I think I am taking the wrong approach.

What do I do once I download the insallation.7z to get Odin up and running?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I've heard a lot of weird problems from folks and almost all of them had a battery mod or theme. At the same time, I've heard from a lot of people with no issue, and almost all of them have no battery mod or theme. Just an observation.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Open market, find maps, uncheck update automatically, uninstall any updates. Market will tell you updates are available but won't install auto. Just don't update!

If you're not on Gingerbread you should be flogged!

[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Just wondering if any future updates will have TW4. The GB launcher is old news, has been around since last year. I loved the look of GR-12 but it got too laggy and glitchy.

Yes I know I can use other launchers, but would be nice to have TW4 as stock.

Download 7Zip or WinRar, right click the Installation.7z and click Extra here, or Extrract to Installation
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
I have an odd issue that I have not seen mentioned before.

I use K9 mail and I cannot change the Notification sound - well I can but it doesn't stick.

It just reverts to the default one which I hate - and which plays until you take your phone out of your pocket and silence.

Very annoying on an otherwise lovely ROM now that I have the Bluedipity theme back!

Thanks for any suggestions.

Battery cell?

Do you mean one of the actual cells for the battery? Cause if so, I just bought a new battery a few days ago... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] RLH:
I had the same problem uninstalled and reinstalled an older version ( 3.192) and set it up again from scratch. Problem went away. Have not had the time to update to the newest version and see if the problem comes back.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
This kind of thing has been a major issue for me with ALL GB ROMS. They all start out with wine and roses upon reboot.....

Kind of like a marriage ending ultimately in divorce. All wedding pics are full of smiling faces then as the days months years go by issues arise and before you know it, you go back to what works....

Still waiting for a GB ROM as stable as late stage Froyo ROMS. The eye candy is nice but it does come at a price.

HOwever I keep reading the GB thread st0 see if there will be a few pages of posts without "new' and unusual issues
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:

thanks again Mikey and Chance for a great ROM

[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
ROM is very polished, but I am having it shut off on me a few times a day. Never had this issue with other ROMs/kernels (running Serendipity kernel #2), going to try a different kernel to see if that resolves it.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Some issues, sure. Like the fact that there's a video chat button on the end call. Or something like that.

Not the proximity sensor being crap, not the Android OS problem, not this that or the other thing.

[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
This particular poster's problem was with his theme. The theme's author posted a fix.

I'm lucky that I haven't had any issues with VII (except the small issues that exist in all the GB ROMs). 6.4 is a great ROM, but VII works better for me. Of course, YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Did you restore any apps, or has this been a problem even after a fresh flash and only downloading apps from the market?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Having your cake and eating it too is known to the Android world as the SGSII, which is basically like making out (and then some) being made into a physical object that also makes calls.

So far, using the JVO modem seems to have helped a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I guess this may be a modem problem, but has anyone had google voice keep the phone awake and use quite a bit of battery? I am on JL2.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
The only issue with mixing this ROM (Talon kernel) and JL2 has been wifi download speed. JL2 has always had average/acceptable battery with great signal in Orlando.

If you're looking for a good alt to JL2 check JP9 out. Seems to work well with S7 here in town.

Edit: I use Google Voice app for voice mail (only) and have had no issues.

Seem to be having some serious Android OS battery drain issues...can't figure out what has changed, so maybe I'll just reflash S7 again and restore apps one at a time....

Any other suggestions to figure out what is causing the drain? I swapped to JK4 as that has always been a good modem for my phone in my area, so maybe another modem flash too? How about reverting back to the S7 kernel #1? I'm on kernel #2 right now....

You can go to Market, My Apps, choose Maps. Make sure you don't update it in the future by leaving the "Allow Automatic updating" un-checked. When you update any apps don't select Maps. If you accidently update Maps you can go to Market, My Apps, choose Maps, Uninstall. it should remove just the updates and take you back to 5.2.1 (or 5.3.1 for some?) and then you can kill it if it starts.

I agree, this ROM is great, as is all of their work. I think people are going back to 6.4 due to various reasons. I myself tried to go back to it for better FPse performance, however, I cant seem to stop the random button presses that I was able to get rid of previously, oh well. Serendipity VII is great, I just wish I could get it to be almost perfect like 6.4 was for me.

Sticking with Serendipity VII after fighting with 6.4 for the last few days.

Really, I doubt they are losing sleep over people stating that they are going back to 6.4. This is the first VII release and really, what does it matter anyway. It is a compliment that people use their stuff either way.

EDIT: I installed the kernel and scripts that Zacharias posted in the Talon thread and my performance issues are gone! I had a feeling it was a kernel issue (well I suppose this is obvious). Gingerbread is no longer tainted for me! :)

This ROM is equally as great as 6.4, plus now that I re-themed my phone with bluedipity, it's practically Gingerbread 6.4.

[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
For anyone having performance issues that are driving them back to 6.4 or just want to try anything for performance gain, try this kernel with the scripts. I was having performance issues while running FPse in GB and this kernel setup fixed my problems. It is a customized setup of Talon done by zacharias.maladroi.

Flashing a new Kernel

Newb question, do you have to charge-up to 100% before flashing a kernel to avoid battery calibration issues?

Do you have to clear any cache/stats after flashing a new kernel? Just trying to avoid running into issue when flashing a new kernel. I flashed kernel #2 right after installing the ROM. Now I've been using it for 3 days now with 0 issues. Thanks ChanceM btw.

Found that I was having alarm issues and gallery issues when I had yahoo messenger installed. Uninstalled it and its perfect now.

[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I just started feeling ok about flashing my phone. (Been doing it since early froyo serendipity.)

Mikey and Chance and this forum have been so dependable it takes some of the edge off.

7 has been FANTASTIC!

I am a business user of my phone so stability and call clarity are paramount.

This morning I woke to find phone in perpetual start of Serendipity!. Battery-out got me back on track, thank God! (I slobber a lot in my sleep, so that could be it since I sleep with my phone! Hehehe.)

That said, I am interested in going to potentially better ROM's or MODEM's but I am still hesitant of the process. (Build# 3 is not a modem? But a ROM that will wipe phone clean?)

########

Edit: ok. In re-reading the post build 3 is a new kernel... Which is the base of our lovely customized rom.. So flashing that zip would not necessarily mess with my app's and data, right?

##########

If I just wait won't the uber-devs put the better stuff in? Or is it a wait that justifies going ahead and learning how to do this maneuver too?

Thanx!

[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I don't think version 3 is in the Rom as default kernel. You have to flash the kernel separately :)
