Haha, I've had some weird wifi problems with this ROM though. Sometimes, I get an error on wifi when i turn it on :(
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I have had absolutely no wifi issues since I changed kernels to Talon experimental. Try it and see if your issues don't go away. It's been months now. Just sayin'.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Meh flashing all the way back to stock from ics is too much work :(. I would do it if Temple Run ran flawlessly without lag like it does on ICS. Bit of lag on CM7, but ICS's graphics improvements come in handy..have you ever had any lag playing games while on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The wifi problem is definitely a kernel issue. Or incompatibility.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yea, I've had lag, still do, but it's better after I clear everything, which I do occasionall (davlik, etc). I haven't bothered going to any of the ICS ROMs, I'm wiating for the money to get a new device (the Note).

camera button

I've searched the thread but couldn't find a definite answer on the camera button issue - i.e. using the power button to take pictures. I came to rely on that.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeIsCore:
Ive actually run through most of the ICS roms in the dev section here and actually dislike most of them for various reasons. I'm also using Ice Cold Sandwich on my Inspire and it's a wonderful ROM but the Captivate ROMS just don't compare.

I'm looking to get back to gingerbread ROM and this one has peaked my interest. Is it absolutely required to go all the way back to Eclair stock in order to Flash rather than just wiping everything and then flashing through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Haven't ran this ROM in quite some time but if I remember correctly the power button "locked" the phone (you could still see the camera app etc just not take a picture). Definitely miss Mikeymike ROMs :P

and MikelsCore

If I were you I'd one click back just to be safe, not sure what your phone looks like right now as for as system format and all that fun stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Just download a modded camera.apk that meets your requirements.
[Captivate Android Development] weaktight:
anyone have Swype working on this? I just have an empty dictionary by the looks of it, can't Swype a single word...
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Go to Swype's site and sign up for the eternal Beta.
[Captivate Android Development] weaktight:
Swype is already installed as part of the ROM, so it won't let you install the Beta; I had to remove it via Titanium and then installed the Beta.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yup, sorry, I should have mentioned that. You're all set now though, right?
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Is it just me or is the add-on kitchen on the serendipity 7 website not working?

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
I'm sorry to say that I have canceled my web hosting (read: out of school and looking for a job so I'm trying to watch my spending). So all Serendipity add-on kitchens are officially closed. Honestly I didn't know people where still using them. If you need something specific I may have it on my computer so just hit me up.

Thanks,

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Oh, well I was just looking to see if the kitchen had the Samsung allshare app.

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Try this one and let me know.

Thanks,

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
It just says application not installed.

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Probably because you didn't put it in system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot? Its not gonna work if you install it regularly..
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
I had to change the permissions.

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Mikey, I love you and your work man, but I'm leaving your ROM. It's not you, it's my phone; he needs a clean wipe, and an update. I hope you'll understand.

In all seriousness though, thanks for your help and great ROMing. You truly made me love my phone and I appreciate all you have done for us here at XDA.

Thank you.

I love this ROM but..

I love this ROM, but the battery life is terrible. I can't stay on it. I can't go away from my phone for ~4 hours and have it somehow die in that amount of time.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I can almost guarantee you have a rogue app.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
As Mike said, it's something specific to your phone. Battery life is just fine here.
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
I didn't install any apps yet...WIFI was off and I don't pay for a DATA connection, so nothing there to drain it. Screen is off when not in use. What is the average amount of hours some of you guys get on your S7?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I haven't been on S7 in a really long time, but all I can remember is that it had the most amazing battery life to date. I remember sometimes getting close to 4-5 hours screen time, and almost 3 days of moderate usage. It must be either a rogue app, a bad flash, but definitely not the rom itself.
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
I'm moving to the S2 just cause of serendipity 9
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
What kernel plays best with this? TalonDEV is believe?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah, that or just the stock one on the site.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Idk, the stock one gave me weird wifi issues. Like occasional "error" when enabling Wifi.

An updated gingerbread version. The latest ones for i9000 are Jw4/5/6 and jvu. Either of those bases with this rom would be legend-waitforit-dary

[Captivate Android Development] :
There is a really cool JW6 SGS III themed rom, status bar and everything. I am having some trouble getting it to work, and when I did root was broken. If anyone, you, Mike, whoever could help me out, I would be very happy.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
We need a JW6 reoriented kernel...did you find one? Don't think Semaphore is updated to work with it and idk what kernel would work after that...
[Captivate Android Development] :
Nope the newest was JW4. It's cool because I just did the best thing of all time. I ported the theme over to Apex rom. Now I'm doing it on S7.

EDIT: Theme works fine except the battery.

Need Some Help Here

I can't get to download mode.

I'm assuming that I'm in download mode - the USB debugging is selected and Odin shows the connection (Com 5)

Odin checks PDA, PHONE, CSC & PIT - all valid

My phone also doesn't reboot. I'm running Cognition - do I need to use Odin to go back to stock first? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Try using Heimdall.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Captivate Android Development] CanuckinPA:
OK - today I was able to get everything done using Odin. So far, I'm liking what I see. Hopefully, my problems with shutdowns and battery issues will be solved with Serendipity.

Thanks guys
[Captivate Android Development] CanuckinPA:
Well, I have to reverse my thanks. VII keeps crashing my Captivate. I'm going to have to root back to stock and maybe try 6.4 instead. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Yomaster91:
Any necessary steps to flash SVII from Legend 5? I know the Serendipity website says to just flash the package with CWM, but I want to make sure. I'm running Legend 5 with Corn Kernel 7.0A.

EDIT: Any help is much appreciated! I'm swapping over because it seems my phone just doesn't like KK4. I get random bugs, lock-ups, and lag daily, requiring a battery pull.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
I would recommend starting from the beginning of the instructions since you're on KK4. It should prevent any problems.

[Captivate Android Development] ryanbmw51:
quick question...my mom's captivate is completely stock GB...i want to put this rom on her phone cuz i once had it on my infuse a few phones ago and it was exceptionally stable...i don't want to be messing with her phone too often but i need a solid rom on it and i know this is the one...anyhow, do i need to root the phone and get cwm on it using methods i've found with google searches or can i just go straight from bone stock and start at step one on this page?

http://serendipity7.weebly.com/download.html

i'm no stranger to flashing but i know more about the newer devices like the note, onex, s3, galaxy nexus,etc...it seems like when i go back to older devices like this or like my nexus 1, i run into silly issues. will there be an issue with app memory like on the nexus 1? it's amazing how many luxuries can be taken for granted on some of the newer devices available these days...i really just need to tweak about 6 more months out of this captivate for my mom...stock rom and tw absolutely murders her battery lately to the point where the phone is nearly unusable...i'm hoping that going this route will make her happy with her phone again...

thanks in advance... :good:

Flashed VII from 6 last night. I was a little annoyed when I discovered the file didn't have the latest 4.1 kernel. Now I can't receive calls, goes straight to VM. I do get Vm notifications. I've also noticed it drops the carrier from time to time. Then there are little things like vibrate when typing doesn't work even though that box is checked. so far I'm very dissatisfied with 7. I'm surprised at these problems because 6 was so well done.

Is there a fix for this? I kinda need my phone to ring.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
This is a joke right?
[Captivate Android Development] tweakedlogic:
No, I didn't have these problems with 6. I don't understand how it's funny. Six ran perfectly out of the box (mostly) with little changes from me. I am now learning that there are different flashes for the modem only. So I'm looking into that.

On top of that my internet speed is running really slow the last couple of days. My download speed is 1/2 of my upload speed for some reason (across the whole LAN). So it takes forever for pages to load.

I thought it prudent to go ahead an ask a question (stupidly) while I began the search of this 570 page thread. Every time I see a search result with a similar question, they have gone unanswered so far. So my search isn't going well. Just trying to fix this issue so I can get back to my life.

So I'm following the modem thing for now.

Edit:

Flashing modem UGJL2 did nothing. The phone rang once, screen didn't come on, then it stopped ringing and I tapped the power button and it had no signal from the at&t or wifi, just like the last modem.

I still can't figure out the vibrate when typing. I've been all through the settings flipping off and on switches.

If anyone has any suggestions I love to hear them.

...
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
You need to switch kernels. I'm running the TalonDEV Test version 0.6.0.1, you can find it here
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Hey tweakedlogic...

As far as the vibrate when typing, go to Menu/ Settings/ Language and Input/ and then go to the settings of the keyboard that u are using. Should be able to do the adustment there.
[Captivate Android Development] tweakedlogic:
OK, thank you. I've been looking around and that one says it still basically in testing and might be unstable. Is there a recommendation on a stable kernel? I am looking into others as well since you pointed me in the right direction, thanks again. Semaphore looks promising but more complicated than I may need. It has some really cool useful features though (if it works).

I know, that's the annoying thing. Both the swipe and Gingerbread boards are selected ON, but don't vibrate. No selection vibrates (icons etc) except the hard keys. I hate it! I can barely use the thing it feels so wrong. I'm hoping the kernel fix works. For the moment I flashed it back to 6.4 with a couple clicks in Titanium and it is normal again. I kept getting calls that needed to be answered so I needed my phone to work. I will try again this weekend so I have time to do more research. There are a few things I like in VII, so I want to use it, but for me the cons of not having a working phone out weighs them. I hope I can get it to work. I update when I do.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
The kernel is perfectly stable, I've been running it since it came out, as have many others. But do as you see fit.
[Captivate Android Development] Josdell:
Hey everyone, thinking about flashing to Serendipity VII as it seems really stable and I didn't go through the whole thread but seems to not have that many problems. Should I use the kernel provided on the Serendipity website, or should I use some different kernel as the last few posts were discussing?

Also, the Modems, they're fine/optimized for this ROM (otherwise people wouldn't use it)? Does this contain GPS fix/lagfixes/? Does it have all basic Google Apps with it? Sorry if this is an annoying post... just asking for some input on my final ROM decision. Any other basic info as to the features of Serendipity would be appreciated since the website doesn't offer much as to an explanation.

If you're coming from another GB rom, flashing kernel prior to flashing isn't needed.

I don't think it's NEEDED. But xcal put BLN and Lagfix in the same kernel.

Need Help, can't download zip file I can log on but wont let me download
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
Clarification: The last ROM I flashed (Apex) put me on CWM3 (red recovery). Will that flash your ROM? I'm not clear on the compatibility/incompatibility of the 2.5 (green) versus the 3 (red) recovery, or for that matter, which your ROM is expecting.

I realize that I can always go back to ground 0, but I've been there and done that. Just trying to better understand the inner working of all the components.
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:

[Captivate Android Development] mikegehl:
Saw you may have found a temporary solution.

But just to be clear - in TiBu prefs, you tried tapping on the actual folder in the list at the bottom of the screen and not the radio button after scanning, right? Then "choose current folder."

Do NOT use the detect button / radio button list at all.

Either clear the market cache in TiBu or download a new app from the market.

Yes its normal we dont do a master clear we dont want you to lose everything.
