[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
First off, I just wanted to say what a great job APEX has been (from what I've seen).

I picked it for my first custom ROM flash over the weekend and applied the MattedBlue theme and it looked great.

However, I flashed back to stock 2.2 because of an issue I experienced:

- whenever I got an incoming call, nothing would happen with my phone

- however, if I pressed any buttons while the caller's phone was still ringing, the call would get dropped because the dialer would FC

Not sure if anyone else experienced this. I tried flashing to stock 2.1 first, then the latest version of APEX.

Did the whole process a second time when I first encountered the problem, just in case the first flash was bad, but still occurred.

Also, a minor issue/question. I couldn't add a second e-mail account. Whenever I tried adding another account in Settings, it would just bring me to the inbox of my existing account. Was I missing something?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
I have to ask this question first and rule it out completely. Did u restore any app using TiBU?

Second, you had GB bootloaders right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
I did actually restore apps and data with TiBU.

I had some issues initially with e-mail where the e-mail app would just die everytime I tried opening it so I ended up restoring that specific app with no data and then I was able to re-establish my first e-mail account fine.

As for the bootloader, yes, I had the one that was included in the Apex flash pack (KF1, I believe).

This is pretty much what I did:

- flashed to JF6

- followed the instructions in the Apex flasher zip
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
so the app crashing u r seeing might be related to TiBU restore. Also email app in Apex is from SGS 2 so not sure whether it will even like data restore
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
Hmm.

Guess I'll try and skip the restoration for Email 2.2

For the incoming call issue though, you suggest skipping the Dialer 2.2 backup as well?

I normally just restore all "missing apps + data"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
yep i suggest that u try for an hour without restoring, may be TiBU restore is not the problem. Anyways you should not restore dialer at all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll give that a shot!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fowarek:
Well I reflashed and I'm still running into issues. Idk what else to do. Guess it was just not meant to be.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
Hi watsa,

Thanks again for the tip.

I tried flashing again without applying a TiBU restore afterwards and my dialer works fine.

However, I still can't add my WLM account as a second account; clicking on "Accounts and Sync" --> Add Account --> Windows Live Mail. This brings me to the inbox for my Gmail account in the built-in client, and there are no menu options to add a second account there.

Same thing happens when I click on Yahoo, but Facebook sync seems to work (at least it brings me to the next setup step), and so does trying to add another Google account

Any ideas?

Thanks again, in advance!

I used to make Mobile carrier shown right under the power goggles on pull down panel using UOT Kitchen with Apex 8.x and Dlev ROM. With Apex 9.1, I can't do it any more. Any way to make it back? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
you can add custom text there from 9.0 onwards..

Settings -> device customization -> Statusbar customize -> Quick Panel text

write your name and reboot. you can see it there, else write your carrier text and reboot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fowarek:
Watsa, it still seems to be messaging thats the downfall of my phone. Do you believe it could have been caused by the SMS Backup app that I've been using to backup and restore my messages every reflash? I've just started using it as I flashed to 9.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy028:
Ive used SMS backup many times without problems but then again I use Handcent for texting so i cant say for sure. You can always erase them all with SMS backup and find out then restore them once again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pasarillo:
It works. Thanks. But is there any way to make it automatic when switching sim cards?

Hey watsa,

If I were to flash the Crysis battery mod, is there a way I can flash back to the default one in Apex? Don't think I saw the non-percentage version listed anywhere

This is more of a theme question but..

I recently installed apex 9.1 over mosaic vi ext4 talon 4.19 1200 oc.

After install checked phone out for a while to make sure everything was smooth ( love the rom btw) then I installed mattes blues theme. Everything was all good. Then installed the honeycomb lock with crysis battery mod. After I install that the power menu and all sliders (volume, ring volume, etc) became unthemed. Reinstall matted blues and it was all fine till I reinstalled crysis battery mod. Any way to have a fully matted blues themed apex cappy with honeycomb lock and crysis battery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielk425:
^^

I could be wrong but I think he only themed the stock apex and 1% battery icons.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
Doesnt MB already have HC lock? I think it does, it just says puzzle unlock :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murauder:
Im not sure if it does or not. But I thought it was strange that after flashing crysis on top of matted blues only the power menu and sliders became unthemed (possibly more but I havent noticed them yet).

Was just hoping to have a matted blues with honeycomb lock and crysis batt. I dont know thats possible though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
well it is possible, I can let you know what needs to be done to get it if u r into rom modding, else I can do it for ya
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
That's almost the same setup I'm aiming for (minus the Honeycomb lockscreen).

I have the crysis battery mod working with MattedBlues on Apex 9.1, except for the charging icon. Tried playing around with that but haven't been able to get it to work so right now, my battery icon looks the same, regardless of whether it's plugged in or not, which I can live with.

Better than before when the battery icon kept scrolling through a bunch of random images when I had my phone plugged in. :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murauder:
Well I never done any rom modding or anything like that.

Just was hoping for blues with hc lock and crysis batt. No big deal if my sliders are green and my power menu is normal.

Love the way apex runs and the,multiple home options (the sony erricsson is my fav). Not many themes/mods for it though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielk425:
Ive tried the dc kernel and the talon kernel get random locks on both have to pull the battery. I noticed it happens while hitting back. No haptic so press once more then i get two vibrations and it locks i think its just too much at once, and my impatience. Which kernel has everyone else had the most success with? Ive read a lot of reviews dc seems to be good so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
I've only used DC and I haven't had any problems at all.

Kernel/ROM combo is running like a champ
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielk425:
I found my problem. Its the matted blues browser I think. Freezes while playing flash. Its a known issue I read about it in the rom thread. I have to say so far dc.has been best for me also.

Edit: it had nothing to do with matted blues or the browser as the browser issues were fixed in 9.1. Sorry picking my nose while reading again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murauder:
Well im running apex 9.1 with the latest talon 4.4.21 1200mhz oc -125 uv all the way across the board also have the matted blues theme and I have no issues. This thing runs like a beast. And battery lasts all day long even with moderately heavy use

Edit: -125 uv was to much froze then reboot on incoming call. Had to go back to -100uv. Stable now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielk425:
@murauder

Have you played flash in your browser? Just curious to know maybe I should change back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragoon:
Weird. I haven't had any issues with the Matted Blues theme on Apex playing Flash.

I went to newgrounds.com and some stuff loaded, but I haven't actually tried loading any specific game or vid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielk425:
thanks black dragoon it seems that the browser issues were a 9.0 problem so i'm not sure why i'm getting random freeze issues. I'm going to try the talon test kernel and see if this helps.

EDIT: Installed the non oc'ed talon kernel and it seems to be working a lot better. In-fact everything is smoother. Will report any change.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murauder:
My flash is running fine on stock browser just fyi

Thanks for your replys. So far so good with talon.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henge:
I've been searching on google all morning and for whatever reason XDA keeps telling me the search function isn't working. Anyways, I have never run into this issue with any other roms, and I've kept pretty much the same group of apps on whatever roms I've been on.

So my problem now is that any time I'm in the market and try to download apps that are larger in size I get the "Error downloading "x". There is insufficient space on the device." message.

I have gone into Settings/applications/manage applications/market.apk and cleared the data/cache on that, which made no difference. From what I've found on google, it seems to be an issue with amount of space left in the /system folder. This makes sense, since it shows to only have 17.44 MB free, and the apps I have problems with are larger than 17.44 MB. I have also seen suggestions that wiping the Dalvik Cache would make a difference, which it did not.

Is there any way adjust the size of the /system folder, to allow for like 500 MB or so? Or, is there anything else that I could try?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psych0phobia:
I have just investigated the market app large file problem. On my phone running Apex 9.0 and Market 3.0.27, the market downloads apps to the /cache partition. At issue is that the partition is pretty small:

$df
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/cache 31M 4M 26M 4096

The "Free" value above represents the largest app I can download from the market. I do not know if there's any solution to this problem, but figured I'd post my assessment in case anyone knows.

I'm having trouble using this rom, finally got it installed, originally with talon, tried switching to darkcore to see if it was related to the kernal, both kernals the problem persisted. I also redid the apex installation using CWM, just installed it over the original install to see if it would fix the issue

Basically my capacitive buttons aren't working at all, they don't light up and pressing them does nothing. I'm on 9.2 apex.

This happens on a fresh install? even before Tibu restore? If yes then reflash of rom should help

Help !! Battery Drain w/ stock email..

Hello, recently upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2...everything went smoothly, except my battery drains very quickly and found out the stock email was the problem...see attached) I have 2 exchange email account (push) and didn't have the problem with 9.1... any suggestions???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gte460z:
I am having bluetooth streaming audio (A2DP) quality issues with Apex 9.2. The problem occurs on both TalonDev 0.4.4.22 and Darkcore 3.1 kernels. The problem I suspect has to do with the bluetooth bitpool/bitrate settings. Basically to quickly summarize the problem, when I stream audio via bluetooth to my car I hear high pitch crackling when there is a lot of treble present. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleximation:
Try clearing your cache. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the email apk. If that fails, do a titanium backup and reinstall the rom with a full reset/clear.

email apk can be found by downloading the full version of the app, extracting the zip, opening it and going to system/app/email.apk

Already tried that....but no use... I finally dump the stock email and installed k9mail...problem solved...although I can't set my accounts as exchange...I only was able to set them up as pop3 emails...consequently, no contacts, no calendar sync.. does anyone know how to set up exchange accounts on k9mail???

I'm having a major issue all of a sudden, btw huge props for this rom I've been using it for quite some time.

I was on 9.1 for some time and I decided to update to 9.2 with 9.3 and this is my steps:

Power Menu to Recovery > Wipe Data/Dalvik Cache/Cleared Battery Stats

Installed 9.2 wipe, then applied 9.3, then blue theme.

Ok everything went well and I can use the phone just fine except here's where the issue happens, after installing ADW EX Launcher and changed up a few icons here and there, installed apps straight from the market (non TiBu method) All installs fine and works well, except when I restart the phone everything I installed dissapears and phone recognizes them as not installed. So I just thought maybe it was just a ADW issue, tried installing something while on TW4 (Dolphin Browser) rebooted and same thing.

Am I missing something here or did my flash go bad? My phone won't register any apps after reboot :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
I would say flash gone bad because of ext4/rfs conversion.. Try this first.. go to CWM and disable lagfix, let it do its thing and then install your apps. See if they are still disappearing, if yes then I am afraid back to stock and then apex :(
