Stk.apk(sim toolkit) is necessary by some Operators:

STK is a method of including program code on a SIM card. It is used mostly by operators for their proprietary value added services, where the SIM can interact with the user and launch network commands independently of the handset.

for example : without it every phone call stop and it returns "not allowed by sim" message
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
Look back several posts.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I wonder if it's related to the SIM PIN thing.

Cooking up a whole new theme in UOT for this, excellent ROM MM and Chance!
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
I too am very interested in seeing this fixed. However, it is not this ROM's problem. It has happened in every 2.3.3 ROM I tried.

I used "Cover Art" to bring it all back one time. It mostly did it automatically since the vast majority of songs had album art embedded, I just wasn't seeing it. What surprised me is that it all went away again after flashing this ROM - implying that the change that "Cover Art" made was not to the music files, but somewhere else that gets replaced when flashing a new ROM.

I am also having problems with widgets, but not even with a reboot. My phone was just sitting on the desk overnight (great battery still!!) but my widgets had all turned into 'Problem loading widgets' :(

Well, as I said, no reboot here, and they all went south. Bad flash? I dunno about that. I do use a lot of widgets, I wonder if those who aren't having issues are people who don't use many?As for overlapping, I find the widgets take up way more room than their declared size, it's tough to not have them at least touch.

On a totally unrelated topic:

Thank you for that, but it did eventually work, after a reboot (widgets survived that reboot, by the way). It is irritating to me that there's an option to save TB settings so they survive a flash that doesn't seem to work. I did use the new directory chooser as described above, rebooted for a different reason, serendipitously ;)) and finally I was able to use my backup.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I too experienced this issue yesterday when going through the modem exercise. But only the first time. What I did is, delete the widget and add it back, after that I did several reboot and the widget was working without any issue.

If you have already removed and added the widget, and you are still experiencing this issue, may be you should reflash again by going back to the stock.

I'm having a problem where wifi is disconnecting. When I check its status in settings, it says "error", not "connected" or "disconnected". I have to turn it off and on a couple of times for it to work again. Does anyone else have this problem?

Is there anyway to disable the power menu from popping up on the hacked camera? I want to hold the power button in order to prefocus my shot, lock that focus and then release at an exact moment. (The way the old hacked camera worked in 2.2.) This method is the best way to get a clear shot with minimum shutter lag. I know i can prefocus and lock using the screen, but I want the option to also prefocus using power button, (better stability).
[Captivate Android Development] phatninja13:

You found it in there? I've been looking in system/app/ for about 5 minutes now with droid explorer and can not find SystemUI

Edit: nvm, I found it. For anyone else that's interested, systemui.apk is also known as "Status Bar"
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
No haven't experienced that at all
[Captivate Android Development] :
Not sure what the problem could be. I have no problems with embedded art showing up. I'm using the new Google Music Beta, which is downloading my music on the fly, so I know there aren't any images in any folders on my phone. And I know it's my embedded art because it only shows up on the ones I had it setup on already. The music w/o embedded art just shows a generic album cover.

I know a couple of other people have mentioned this, but are you sure it's a universal problem and not something about your setup? What music player are you using?

Does the Google Music Application work with the Samsung lockscreen because the stock music is really crap.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
My apologies. I don't have the app. I saw it on that site and passed on the information without further thought. I will try to find it and pm you. It's strange because the listing of apps was very recent. Don't know why the app wouldn't be available.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I have Google Music Beta, and I use that app, Winamp and Doubletwist. All 3 have that problem.
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Big thanks for testing that out, I want to try one...Just some advice for any inexperienced themer though...I would be sure to do a Nandroid backup of your SerendipityVII as it IS first...in case you want to revert! Some themes do also have a revert .zip. I read a page or so back that some flashed a UOT "battery mod" that contained and changed more than they expected (I saw that the file was like 7mb so l left it alone)...and will now (maybe) need to reflash the whole ROM instead of just restore from recovery. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Nope. It doesn't work with any lockscreen I've used. Not to say there isn't one it DOES work with. I just haven't seen it yet.

Did you restore them from a backup or fresh install from the Market?

Had to install a second time. First time, just stuck in a boot loop. Second time was with green recovery, first time was red. Progress bar didn't work right in red recovery either, went to ~98% during format, didn't move any further during remaining steps.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
for anyone having problems with TiBu this is what I usually do.

Before a flash I copy the 'TitaniumBackup' folder to my hard drive. Once I flash and reinstall TiBu I run it once. It creates a new version of the folder, and then just copy the contents of the folder on your hard drive into the new 'TitaniumBackup' folder.

It doesnt need to be done, but it is simple enough and I have never run into a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Out of the Samsung music app, aosp, and the music beta, the music beta ends up having the most embedded album art I have loaded but in low quality. I dont think it doesn't matter how the apps are loaded since I've switched and installed them a bunch if different ways. The same thing happened when I went from GR11 to GR12 that I believe a few others experienced. Switching back to GR11 brought the album art back in that case.

For me it's not a deal breaker or anything, just a little eyesore since I spent so much time finding all the most high quality album art myself :p.

[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I did a restore without data first (since I was coming from Froyo), then when I had to wipe data after a bad flash, I did fresh from Market. Both had the same result. Even the stock one had issues with this.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Well I got hyped earlier this week seeing that VII was out for blood.

But now that I've read the 90+ pages of this thread, I see more "this is great... but..." comments than I do "this is great." comments.

I really do appreciate all the work everyone has put into making this rom what it is, especially MikeyMike and ChanceM, but I believe I'm gonna stick with 6.x a bit longer.

Current things I've read that may be an issue:

Quite a bit of soft bricking/ triangle !

Sleep Deaths (a few reports)

Lots of Widget problems

A few people with wifi problems (error/dc/etc)

Album art giving some people headaches

A few reports of Tibu problems

lack of "official" addons like 6.x has (yet to see that the 6.x addon page and the VII addon page are interchangeable so I don't want to try and flash froyo packages overtop a ginergerbread base without Chance/Mike's say so.)

I understand the bulk of bricking is user error, and the other things are very "user-specific" meaning not everyone gets all the issues, but just listing things I've seen.

I am EXTREMELY excited to download and flash this, but I may give it a week or 2 to see if things settle/ VII gets some updates.

Kudos Chance and Mike! We really appreciate it! :D

Try rebooting. This happened to me on first boot, I rebooted and have not have the issue since.

i used continuum 2.3.3 and the artwork worked perfectly .. with serendipity i dont know why does not work
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
I've been reading about some dodgy behavior by TiBu on this forum. And i had a problem similar to yours. I realized that i had backed up under RFS and when i converted to EXT4 TiBu no longer saw the backup i had made.

Reverting to RFS solved my problem. I restored apps, went back to EFS and made another backup and voilá, happy camper.

This was on a different ROM not S7 and idk if it's applicable to you but if it is, hallelujah lol!

Anyone else noticing their recent call log crashing? I was also unable to get a dial tone/ringing sound yesterday while calling a specific number.

I did install the new voice dial apk from the kitchen and I wonder if it has caused the issue.

On a side note. Are there any TW4 packages that work in portrait and landscape mode? I actually like it better than whats included in S7 especially the app drawer.

Thanks for all the hard work!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] rfitts1:
While i understand your concern I don't think you have anything to worry about if you follow the directions properly.

For every 1 person you see with a comment about a problem there are 50 more of us who have no problems whatsoever.

Nobody will push you into the pool so dive on in when you feel ready.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
If I recall, the original directions in the first post are not quite right. I believe they are adjusted a couple pages down.

Basically you do this:

pull battery, sim and sdcard.

after 30 seconds (and after loading odin) plug in the usb cord. then hold all 3 buttons and insert battery. release power
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
I concur. didn't encounter any of these things myself and VII has been running very nicely for me. One app I've had to dump, because it causes probs on all the gingerbread roms, (I think) is Lookout. Makes the system have crazy lags.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
I'm wondering if the folks having problems cleared everything they can in cwm after installing the rom..Factory Reset, cache, dalvik cache and perhaps I am forgetting one.

I did and it has been working as well as any gingerbread rom I've tried and better than some.

But I still want a matte blue theme :)
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I flashed back to stock with Odin one click, did a master clear, then S7 install and have had almost no problems (just had to change modem and had one random restart).
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Curious. Why the modem change and to which one?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I removed Lookout also, every time I turned on the screen to do something on my phone I noticed that it was scanning my apps. i set the scan to occur once a week at 4 am on Sundays, but it would still scan whenever it wanted lagging my phone in the process :(.

The only other issue I had was my own fault. I was editing the build.prop before ChanceM updated the kernel so my paid voodoo app would work with the phone. I edited it to much and caused my phone to soft reboot when saving and it never came back :(. Reflashed the ROM and changed a couple items in the build.prop and haven;t had a problem since :D

AWESOME WORK GUYS!!!
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
for some reason the I9000TUBJV6 Modem gave no reception in areas where I knew I had full reception. I knew the JK4 modem used in GR12 was working so I flashed that. People have also said they have used the modem in Serendipity6 and that worked fine as well. A majority of people do not have issues with the modem though.
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
So, I flashed S VII & then flashed the updated kernel. Then, after having widget issues, decided to reflash the ROM. Does that mean I also have to re-flash the updated kernel again, or does the kernel not get overwritten when reflashing the ROM?

On a side note, anyone figure out a way to fix the disappearing widget issue without having to try a reflash?

Thanks!

Yes - reflash kernel #2.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I keep a stash of a couple of different modems on my external SD card in case of "emergencies". JK4 used to be my go-to modem. But JV6 has recently replaced it. So I guess it all depends on where you are, your hardware, etc.

Keeping a couple you know work on the external SD might not be a bad idea for people who travel -OR- for those who are still trying to figure out which one(s) give them the best performance in their area.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Biggest issue I've seen is the WiFi not picking back up after it loses the signal.

I had to switch modems ... tried everything, but JK4 is still the best for me. Stock modem gave me no signal in my house.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Houston, we have a problem....

I haven't had a great signal on what comes with Serendipity VII, and now I'm realizing I can't receive calls - it rings a half ring and then cuts out, calls go to voice mail. I can receive calls fine, and make them. I'm thinking I need to flash a different modem (Boston area). It's been recommended to me that I go to JV6 modem - and of course that's what comes with Serendipity VII! I forget what we had in S-6.4. Any suggestions? JK4? Reflash (I hope not, but given my widget issues, maybe I should)? :confused:

Since I've flashed on release of this ROM, I've yet to have an issue. Same back with Serendipity 6.x. Thanks for the constant stable releases.

I've just loaded the ROM, my 1st gingerbread rom. Getting a weak signal, so I want to try a few modems.

I'm confused as to which CWM to use 2 or 3, in the modems thread it was CWM3 is for gingerbread, and CWM2 is froyo. But I know we are running CWM2.5.x on this ROM.

Can someone clarify for me ?

Also ROGERS users, what modems are you liking so far ?
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I just use any one that has '(gingerbread)' written next to it, which also says CWM3. Worked fine for me.

Edit Disclaimer: I do not know much, just what worked for me. May not be entirely correct

Edit 2 - flashed through CWM and not Odin
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
You can flash most any modem through Odin (like the one packaged for this ROM) by unzipping it and putting the modem.bin file into the "Phone" section of Odin. It won't matter if the zip is CWM2.5 or CMW3.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
You use SGS kernel flasher or Odin to flash Talon?
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Dumb question. Where are the alternate modem files. IIRC Talon kernel has a link to compatible ones for that kernel. but I am on Serendipity_VII_Kernel_2.0.

Thanks
