That is what I was afraid of....

He did openly say in his Infuse thread that he would release an update after source was published. Here are two posts from that thread:

So I do know that my Captivate is NOT an Infuse but they are like cousins and I am hoping we might get some love here.....
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Fingers crossed!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I know you guys are hopeful, but really, he's talking about Serendipity for the Infuse, not the Captivate. I'd be thrilled if he did do something here, but I certainly don't expect it - he's pretty clear with his words, and we all know what 'final' means.
[Captivate Android Development] Bish0p34:
Is the battery level indicator that far off for everybody? Mine shows a full bar, but the phone stats say I'm in the mid 70's. That's a fairly large discrepancy...

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Thinking about returning the SGS II, using my brother's Samsung Focus, and making i9000-based Captivate/Infuse ROMs. The SGS II is nice, but no $600 nice... could use that money for a Macbook Pro.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
All I hear is i9000-based Captivate/Infuse ROMs. :eek: :)

But I haven't played with a WP7 device but I like the UI. How is the support for it?

As for the SGII, I feel it's too close to the Infuse and if you have one no need for another.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Most sensible thing you've said in a long time.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's a great phone, don't get me wrong. If I were eligible for an upgrade I wouldn't think twice about it. The Infuse is marginally better than the Captivate, and the SGS II is much better than both... I just don't think I can spend that kind of money on a phone that will be stuck in the fragmentation quagmire.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I already knew the core OS was great. What I was surprised to find is most of my apps are on WP7 too. The only things I'd be missing are a good IRC client, Chase bank, and NFL.com Fantasy Football. Hardly deal breakers.

Looks like I'm off to At&t to play with some phones. Lol

Just curious, is the XDA app available? I know Apple blocked it from their app store, wondering if MS would do the same. If it's even compatible with WP7 that is.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yes, it's in the marketplace. It's a dollar.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Love that you're thinking of coming back, Mikey! Haven't played with WP7/7.5 much yet either, but I'll do some playing in the next few weeks at least. It's definitely been getting love from critics at least
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Does this mean we could hope for Serendipity VII updates?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
WOW I love the layout of the WP7 XDA app. Slick UI.
[Captivate Android Development] Bish0p34:
Yep. Ran the battery down, and recharged it. The battery meter is still not accurate. Battery life doesn't seem very good with this ROM either. I'm getting about 8 hours tops, and I don't use the phone much at all.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
My SGS II has been getting random shut downs so I called AT&T yesterday and they said they know about this issue... It's only effecting about 5% of all phones apparently. :cool:

Feels like the Cappy all over again...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Some of the annoying Samsung deficiencies are still there. For $600 the phone better be problem free, and it simply isn't.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Yup, I sent it off this morning to Samsung. They said they will send me a brand new one, so I am on my Cappy right now. Truth be , I still like my Cappy better than my SGS II right now.

Guess we just need more development done on the SGS II for me to change my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
This really surprises me given the fiasco of the captivate and its shutdown issues. Wouldn't you think Samsung would have figured it out by now?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I'm hoping for the Note to come to the US. It's just an overgrown SGS II from what I've heard, with a stylus - the larger screen will be good for my old eyes, and the stylus will return me to my Palm days. I'll only get it with an upgrade, however. That'll be rich enough for my blood, even on contract.
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
I'm not sure if this is just me or not, or if it's the ROM or ADW.Launcher, but any time my phone locks when it's in landscape mode (say if you have a picture open in landscape, or a game, video, etc.), it restarts itself. I've found that basically, I have to have the phone in portrait before it locks, ever, unless I want it to restart itself, and that can be frustrating sometimes since I don't always remember that. Is this a bug with one of the S7 builds, or what?
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
Damn, I was hoping to get my hands on the sgs2, really liked the feel of 4.3 vs 4.5 and excited for the nfc. I expect the SGS2 Skyrocket to be along the same lines then. Heres to hoping Galaxy Nexus appears on AT&T and soon!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
On a side note, if you come back to developing for the Cappy, Mikey, I think it would be nice and cool touch to have the MIUI style battery bar as an option. Never figured out how to do it when I had free time. :cool:

This kind of thing...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yeah. All the apps have a nice clean look to them.

[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
I've had S7 installed since shortly after it was released and for some reason I seem to be slowly developing more and more issues. Like the Android OS battery drain is very regular now and I'm starting to get random reboots and occasionally it either shuts down or goes to sleep where I can't wake it up and have to take the battery out to reboot it. Hoping Mikey is back for a little more dev work on this one. I think I might have to try doing a fresh install on S7 and see if it starts working better again unless anyone has any better ideas for me.

I love the speed on this Rom, is there any way to add 9 Quickpanel Toggles for Notification Bar to this Rom ?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well I think I'll be making some sort of Infuse/Captivate ROM based on 2.3.5 i9000 firmware and the extra toggles would definitely be in there.

The SGS 2 was great but it's not $540 great. It's a solid 8/10 and for that kind of money it has to be a 9. The thing that's really lacking on the SGS 2 is the screen resolution, WVGA just doesn't cut it anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Awesome news—can't wait! Welcome back, Mikey

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Agreed on the WVGA. Toyed with the HTC Vivid (960x540 res) & SGS2 Skyrocket yesterday and the Skyrocket's resolution made it seem like a kid's toy comparatively

I'd like to think the high-end 4" form factor isn't dead, but I can't seem to find evidence that anything less than 4.3" is on the horizon & worth looking at. Love the size of the Cappy for sure
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The Android world seems to be headed to stupidly large phones, so I'm hoping for some sort of sequel to the Nokia Lumia 800 or even an iPhone 5. Keeping my options open since I'm growing tired of Android's fragmentation and sluggishness... The Focus running the same hardware as the Nexus One runs as well as the SGS II in most situations.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Yeah, I'm glad I'm not eligible for a full upgrade for a few more months. Don't think I'll have as much time for ROM switching once I get married at the end of this year, so I'll probably have to compare stock experiences across the OS's. WP will be in the running (seems pretty slick from the brief moments playing at AT&T stores), but you never know. The Lumia 800 looks sweet at least.

Regardless, would absolutely love any update you can throw at the Cappy because Serendipity's the reason I started flashing originally!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Mikey, do you plan to do a kernel update also? Or was that more of Chance's thing?

Oh you switched for a while. I see. Yeah when i saw infuse 4g crossed off on your sig a while ago I thought it was a mistake. Then when i saw both infuse and sgs II crossed off I thought you got rid of both. Well at least its still in the family. :)

Does anyone have more detailed instructions on how to load Serendipity 7 onto an ATT Samsung Captivate? I purchased my Captivate on the day it was released so it came with Android 2.1. I then updated this to 2.2 using the Samsung Kies program. I have not rooted or done anything more than this and am sick of the lag. I'm trying to figure out if I need to root first or go back to 2.1 before doing anything with Serendipity 7. Where do I get the USB drivers, etc. The instructions found on the weebly.com site are just a little vague.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Hit the stickies. They will teach you what you need to know.

I'm in the same boat as far as hating the ridiculous sized phones. I was looking forward to the next Nexus device until it was said to have a 4.65" screen. I'm not getting anything larger than 4" either. I also have a Samsung Focus and how smooth it is, is spoiling me. It has got to the point that using the Captivate is frustrating compared to it. I love how Android can be customized to no end, but I am burned out on flashing different ROMs, kernels, modems, etc. just to find a combination that works well and actually lasts all day.

App Space

quick question. I tried to download stuff from the market and it gives me a warning that im low on space. When i got to settings storage and sd card I have tons of space (4g on external, 10GB internal, and 1.5GB system)

what causes this and can i re-arrange my partition size so that more of my 'internal' storage is available for apps?
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Goto settings, manage apps, then market clear cache, I usually clear data for market also. Then when you load the market you'll need to accept the E.L.U.A. again, but it will fix the problem.

How is the battery life on WP7 out of curiousity?

Sent from a MIUI powered SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Can't complain. Get 2 days with light use.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
I don't get 2 days like Mikey, but I also got this phone off of ebay so I don't know what the battery has been through and I have more like moderate use on mine throughout the day. Texting pretty often (about 150 texts a day), emails (maybe 10-20), some gaming (I play a chess game that gives push notifications), and light internet usage. So that maybe considered heavy use, but I still get 18-22 hours out of the battery, and could probably be better with a new battery, but since it uses the same as the captivate then I can keep my captivate battery charged and if the one in my focus dies then I can switch them and have a full battery again. With that I can EASILY get through a day with heavy use. I wasn't planning on being such a fan of WP7 when I got it, but I have been liking it a good amount.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Same. Metro is a great UI

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
It is great, but not just the UI. When I got my Focus I was planning on it being my no thrills phone that I only used for texting, emails, and light internet use, but games on it run so much better than games for Android. I haven't experienced one bit of lag on it at all. Just imagine how it could run when it supports dual core processors. Hopefully they're out in 6 months when my contract is up.

Alright, I'm sounding to much like a fanboy...

That's good. That means you'll get updates faster. They came out with 1.4 because they switched the provider of the flash memory and because of that 1.4 takes much longer to get the releases. Mango was just now released for it. People on 1.4 couldn't even force the update because it wasn't designed for their phone.

[Captivate Android Development] Steve Punter:
While this may not apply in your case, I found that when I first installed Serendipity I had problems with a few apps. I'd installed them back onto my phone using Titanium Backup and I'd also restored their data. In some instances it seems, the data from Froyo isn't completely compatible with Gingerbread. The solution was to reinstall the app ONLY.

[Captivate Android Development] djzoom:
sugget you to install Talon kernel, it will solve rebooting and sleep problem. I have the same issue before. For the better battery- you need to calibrate the battery every time you flash a new Rom/kernel. You can find the instruction in the sticky topics
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yes to both items up there - Talon is a much better kernel as far as sleep death goes, and lag, for that matter, and definitely, recalibrate your battery:

1. Plug in your phone and let it charge to 100%.

2. Unplug the phone and shut it off. After it is completely shut down, plug it back in and wait for it to charge to 100% with the phone off. (Press one of the volume keys to toggle the screen on and off).

3. Repeat these first two steps.

4. With the battery at 100%, go into recovery mode. Since you're on Serendipity, just hold the power button down until your boot options come up. Click "recovery".

5. When you get into CWM, go down to the "advanced features" tick and click it.

6. Choose "wipe battery stats".

7. Choose "yes". It will then wipe all of your battery history. Restart the phone and you should be good to go.
