[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I believe you don't have to, but I do it anyways just to be safe. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
No dance for JL2- I always end back up on JL2. Some modems have better battery but not such good reception- JL2 seems to be a fair trade-off in my area of Central Florida.

I travel a lot and over the past five days I've tested JK4, JV6, JL2, and JPG in Houston, Atlanta, Detroit and now Chicago. JL2 provided the best signal in each region. I'd start with that one.

I tried using the Overscroll on the UOT but doesn't work on my phone, nothing happens. And I found out that framework.jar is the one that needs to be modified but there's no option to upload framework.jar on the UOT. So how can I make my own Overscroll glow?
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Well it's reassuring that the album art thing is not just me. What sucks is that the results are so random among everyone. It seems consistent with people that put their own songs on from the computer and not download with the google music app.

Yeah, in no way is this a deal breaker for me, but I do like my album art and I'd for like my hours of finding album art for every one of my songs not be a fruitless endeavor.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
When you're in recovery manually mount /system and /data and then flash your UOT.zip

Ohh okay, so that's the secret. I'll try that later!

it gives you the green overglow. if you want orange overglow just use the one in the link and use uot kitchen to change the battery and it makes it orange for some reason. or you could replace the framework.jar with another one from a different rom with overglow.
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
i didnt think that would work. o well, i got my orange overscroll

Thats a really cool guide on OC/UV. Its worth a read through just to understand it a little better.

Right now these are my settings,

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me, I'd rather not fill this thread with OC/UV talk considering it should really be in the Talon thread.

What's weird is that it only does it for certain letters. It seems any contacts that start with D or J will not auto-fill. Some of the others do though and it's not only the SMS app.

[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
So I have been running S7 since its release here on xda and I must say I am impressed. The only thing I have noticed though is my sound is a lot quieter and the haptic feedback is very weak. Anyone running into this or know if there is a way to fix? I am using Talon 0.2.1 and I have made sure all of my settings are set to high/max.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:

hey everyone , please can anyone post the orignal kernel ? i flashed talon 2.1 and works great but seams i cant flash any zip files .. weird, i would to back to the original kernel .. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
Modem?

What modem are you using with Talon? I checked the CWM3 compatibility list and the one that comes with this ROM apparently isn't one.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
I have noticed (and seen at least one other report) that the Matted Blues theme for continuum 5.5 breaks my Swype so that you cannot input text.

Could you or someone ele ppleasaspost a link to JV3 modem. Also, any suggestions as to any other modems that could work well with Serendipity VII and Talon 0.2.1 are more than welcome :D

I am finding that so far the best results I have had are the JL2 modem.

I'm using UGJL2. Works great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:

BLN

I know back with the Onix kernel it had the option to turn BLN off well is there anyway for the devs to put an option in their own kernel for this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Finally I was able to flash this ROM, for some reason my PC stopped working with Mediafire, takes me to a logon page then does nothing , so I had to download it from another PC then tranfer it over- Anyway great job mikey/chance running great as usual, I just have one question- I flashed a theme and it had a colored GB keyboard that I forgot to delete when I flashed it and also the lock screen is transparent but it shos the clock that is not readable-

How can I get the origional one from S7 back on my phone?

How can I get a non transparent lock screen again?

Oh one more Question any idea if the camera from GR will swap over to S7, I really liked that one
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
So I suppose I will post again as the posts seem to have gotten taken over by the modem discussion :D (btw jl2 rocks for me). Has anyone noticed a reduced strength haptic feedback and lower volume compared to other roms?

I have already checked and everything is at full strength/volume... any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Ok, I give up. Can't receive calls, can't connect to the internet (XDA app won't work, browsers say there's no connection, etc), widgets have settled down and texting works, but I'm going to reflash. The strange thing is the internet worked fine yesterday.....:confused:

After I flash I'll try the JL2 modem if I still am having problems. Still haven't heard from anyone which modem came with Serendipity 6.4, any help?
[Captivate Android Development] ansh25:
Just noticed an issue, my phone had been sitting for 3 hrs after a full recharge and the battery had gone down 30%. Going into 'Battery Use' showed that Gallery had used up 80% of the power even though I had not even used it after I installed S VII yesterday.
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
use the BLN control app in the market its free
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
now that you mention it the haptic feedback does feel a lot softer turned all the way up but i havnt noticed a difference in volume. not sure if there's a way to fix it but i dont mind
[Captivate Android Development] DrGoodspeed:
not sure why that happened. it may just need a reboot. my phone has been on battery for over 5 hours and i played a few games on it and only went down to 77 percent. battery life for me has been great. also make sure you calibrate the battery if your still having problems
[Captivate Android Development] lmaoxlong:
What average memory are you guys getting, because my average memory usage is higher than what it was in 6.4. I'm averaging about 200-240 mb, without any active applications running.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
isnt it true with this app that you have to re enable it every time you turn the phone off and on? I think it would just be easier to built it into the kernel then its permanently off and no app icon. just a convenience thing.

Also why isnt their a built-in video player in this rom? Idk about the others I was just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
mine is 250mb but i wouldnt worry its normal and with me the battery last 10 times as long as 6.4 for some reason lol
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
That would be jk4.
[Captivate Android Development] flof:
Just as a sidenote, Serendipity VII runs like a charm on the international Galaxy S (I9000) after simply exchanging zImage and modem.bin in the zip file before flashing (I used speedmod's latest K15H-T4 and JVO Modem, 7zip to exchange the files).

I don't miss the video call button in the dialer at all, others might, though - so far that's the only "omission" I've found. If anything else pops up and it's not considered whining, I'll post it here :)

I had to give it a shot - the 6.x series of Serendipity on the I9000 was absolutely perfect until I succumbed to Gingerbread.

Huge thanks to Mikeymike and ChanceM, I wish we had developers with that attention to detail over at our side :)

PS: Of course I'll be putting my money where my mouth is, it's about time I donated for this continued awesomeness :)
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
If you want to fix that one bug, just pull a phone.apk from any i9000 Gingerbread rom.
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
nope. I had it installed on OBSESSION before flashing this ROM. After i reloaded apps and data with TiBu, it loaded the BLN settings as well and it has continued to work for me. In other words, I have only set the BLN settings once, on a different ROM and it is still going strong on this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I haven't been on the forum since I flashed S7 Thursday night, so it took a while to catch up on this thread.

With that, I'd like to respond to a few comments, but I'm too lazy to look them up and quote them. You know who you are. :cool:

I have no problem with embedded album art in the stock music player, Google Music Beta or Mixzing. I know this for a fact because I have songs from my friend's demo with album art I personally created & embedded. Whatever problems people are having are with their phones, not GB or S7.

One of the first things I did after flashing S7 was switch to WCDMA 850 using SGS Tools, flash the JVO modem, set the modem on auto & add WCDMA 850 in the combi bands screen. Where I am - on my phone - it seems to give me the best cell/GPS reception.

FYI: When using GR-12, I learned that modems that worked well with Froyo ROMs don't necessarily work as well with GB ROMs. Even Mikey finally gave up on his precious JK4. :cool:

PS: Thanks a mil to Mikey, ChanceM & their partners in grime for putting together this ROM. The only thing I'm missing is some of the theme changes from GR-12. No biggie, just sayin'.

Undervolting is overrated. When I was running Serendipity 6.X and various Onix kernels, I saw no appreciable difference in battery life with moderate (1.2 GHz) overclocking and no u/v.

I haven't tinkered with the latest Talon ROM, but I'd like to hear if o/c or u/v makes a significant difference with S7. I'm pretty happy with the speed & battery life the way things are now.

Besides, I recently started a new job, and I don't have as much time for tinkering as I used to.

I'm using the free Moboplayer from the market, so I'm not missing the Samsung video player, but I did have to change a few of the stagefright settings in build.prop to false to get things working the way I like.

I'm sure there's other things I wanted to comment on, but I put down a few beers while skimming the obscene number of pages in this thread, and I don't remember. :p
[Captivate Android Development] zeezz:

[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
is there any thing special about this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Its "Based on xcal's 1.2 with BLN and Voodoo" (from the actual website) I like it because it was made to work with this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I suppose it might not be people's phones - it might be their ID3 tags. For example:

ID3 V1 or V2?

Are the embedded images jpg, gif, png or some other format?

Are the embedded images reasonably small (75-150k) or significantly larger (900k+)?

What are the dimensions of the embedded images? I can't imagine that anything over 480x480 (given the screen's 480x800 resolution) is necessary, though I can easily imagine software designed for a phone with this resolution might ignore images around 1200x1200 pixels.

After running this for two days, I have to say this is the smoothest and best my phone has ever ran.

No lag, no bugs, no issues. Just a great ROM dripping with awesomeness.

My son has a Captivate as well. I am about ready to apply some Serendipity goodness for him too.

I do have one question. He uses Launcher Pro and prefers it over other launchers.

Is anyone else running Launcher Pro with S7 and if so, has it posed any problems?

I would assume not, but better to ask before I start on his Cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I use it. Pretty great combo. Only thing I would advice is, don't back it up with Tibu or anything, go to the market and redownload it instead.

I found it slighty laggy when I restored with Tibu, but when I redownloaded it, it was perfect!
