Did you use something like Titanium Backup to restore contacts or logs?

Glad to hear it. Sorry I didn't get to respond before you had it figured out already :)

As far as the modem goes, it's really a matter of try-it-and-see. If the modem you're using is working for you and there aren't any issues, I recommend just sticking with it.

Have you tried installing something like Superpower? I have it installed with Apex 12.3 and it helps out a lot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beebl3br0x:
I've tried apps and couldn't get one that worked reliably, day in and day out. I also came here this morning to report that I believe to have traced it down to a kernel issue, or more probably a framework issue. Since I'm not a dev, I don't quite know the proper terminology.

Just for grins, I switched from Apex, an XXJVU framework to Illuminance, which is UCKK4. Been on it for about a day and the sleep works perfectly as it should. On Apex's framework (very sorry if I'm using the wrong verbiage), the sleep would work one time and then the setting would change automatically to never sleep. On the new framework, the setting never auto changes and it sleeps as it should. I never used any apps that would purposefully keep the wifi alive, I usually keep my phone very clean of third party apps, save for FB, twitter, baconreader, winamp and a picture app.

I didn't want to waste any more of the devs time with Apex, nor did I think it was fair for me to request a change of the internal workings on it. I'm sure I'll find hiccups with the 'new' ROM, but for right now it's doing exactly what i need it to do.

Great ROM though and I'm sure I'll be back.

Is there an app to restore app data like TiBU that I could try?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianray14:
ROM toolbox pro is superior to titanium backup IMHO
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psych0phobia:
Any app that restores the database itself is going to cause this issue; it's not limited to Titanium. You need to use something that backs up the information in the database, such as Google Sync.

Thanks for this ROM !

Flashed yesterdey Apex 12.3 with Corn Kernel I9000-C v1.05 with KK4 Modem (for Audience support)..

I think I just need to play a little with scritps/tweaks.. because phone hangs sometimes. But comparing to other ROMs this works pretty STABLE !!

GPS fix is also very fast! on CM7 i had to wait 1-2 minutes : |.. even outside..

now in doors (in front of the window of course :D) GPS get fixed in 15-30 secs..

No Service yet everything works fine

Hi,

I just flashed Apex 12.4 (with Talon Kernel) onto my phone - my first custom ROM and everything went well and it seems to be a great ROM so far.

I do however an interesting issue - the phone randomly goes into "NO SERVICE" in the pull down notification screen. (The cell signal in the status bar looks fine). Only way to fix it is to turn airplane mode on/off or reboot the phone.

Strangely however I don't actually have no service - everything works fine - incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, mobile data etc. are all working - which makes this more an oddity than a "problem".

Anybody ever seen this before?

(In case it matters I'm with Rogers so it's an I896)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbcheese:
I did catch a glimpse of that once. But it went away so quickly I thought nothing of it. Never saw it again ever since.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRedwolf:
Strangely it didn't happen to me today at all (whereas yesterday it was happening pretty consistently). Odd.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clambake12:
a couple days ago i updated apex from 12.2 to 12.4, since then i've been having random soft boots where the phone doesn't actually shutoff and reboot. Screen goes black for a little then goes through the process after a normal bootup (ie. media scanner and reload of widgets etc). I used CWM to go from 12.2 to 12.3, then to 12.4, not sure if there was an issue in the upgrading process or what. Anybody else experiencing this? Or know the cause?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRedwolf:
Yes it's happened to me twice - both times in the morning as the alarm goes off. I woke up, picked the phone up - disabled the alarm and then the exact scenario you describe happens. When I look at the battery stats it tells me how long I've been on battery since last charge and it seems far lower than I know it should be (ie: It's showing 5 hours when I know in reality it's more like 10). I didn't upgrade - full install of 12.4 from stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattap:
lockup

I just flashed Apex 12.4 with corn kernel love the rom the only problem is sometimes it locks up when i am using it. i have to pull the battery to get it to reboot. Just today it locked up 3 times. is there something i can do to fix it. Thanks alot for your work on this rom.:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRedwolf:
Ok so this is happening to me consistently - every single morning so far. I'm unsure whether it's related to the idle time or the alarm or a combination of both. I've tried recreating the issue during the day by setting my alarm but it only seems to happen after the phone has been sitting idle all night. It's not the traditional sleep of death where the phone goes dark and needs to be hard booted.

Love this ROM otherwise though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbcheese:
This just happened to me while I was in the web browser. Only I'm on talon instead of corn
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRedwolf:
Battery Stats

Just curious - how come the battery stats reset on a reboot? Is this by design? I'm pretty sure on my stock rom they were persistent.

Edit: Ok it seemed to be either some kind of anomaly - either that or it only resets when I get a forced soft boot. When i reboot/shutdown normally they are persistent

Edit: Ok I realized what's happening here - It seems that the "time on battery" resets to 0 whenever you reboot and you have in the range of (about) 90 - 100% battery remaining. I had never noticed this before but seems to be default behaviour.

Roaming detection broken?

Hi, just found this thread. Can anybody shed some light on the issue:

Facts:

1. Samsung Captivate on Apex 12.5 with I9000UGKG3 modem.

2. I'm on ATT contract service with home area in Vermont, USA.

3. I have Data Roaming unchecked because I don't have the international data add-on.

4. I went to Quebec, Canada for a day and halfway through the day realized that the phone was happily thinking "i'm on home network, let's suck some data".

5. AT&T is going to charge $16+ per MB used while in Canada.

6. I had been to Canada before and the phone was shutting data off as it roamed to Rogers but it was before I had Apex and this modem.

Why did it think Home? Is it an Apex bug? Is it a modem issue? Is it a SIM issue? Where do I start?

Thank you!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abystus:
Yes, I was mistaken thinking it was launcher pro instead of GB Launcher. I have that all in order now as I got it back through the market (though the icons are still a little fuzzy on it but I'm sure it's on the developer's hands).

Also I don't mind not having the Samsung splash, however I was just more interested in where it went. Do you think you will stay with this kernel for a while or is it something that changes depending on other things with the rom? Also is there any way to force the buttons to remain lit while the screen is not locked (really sucks browsing in the dark when they go out)?

Again great work on the rom! I will be testing it for the next few weeks or until you release your next build. Thanks for the response.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
not sure whats wrong with GB launchers on 2.3.4, I am sure LPP works great.. When u touch the screen ur buttons will light up for 5 seconds.. That mod is present in Apex.. so to up light buttons ideally touching ur screen shud be enuf.

About kernel, its a personal choice.. I have always found that Talon works great with Apex, i might switch to next talon though which takes out option to OC upto 1.6 G

Charge Bug

When I was on Update 1 - I had the charge bug. When I flashed Talon 2.2 it seemed to go away. The two mornings i was running it I woke up to 96-98% battery. Before I flashed Talon, it was more like 68-72% Anybody else have this happen? or could it be just a coincidence.:confused:

Hoping with 7.1 it is still gone. Will let you know in the morning.

Edit: I noticed that cpu spy showed that the phone was running at 100hz when it was charging with Talon installed. With Excal's it was in deep sleep.

I was able to revert back. Initially when i tried to revert to stock using odin 1 click it got stuck on set PIT and it wouldnt move. I had to pull the USB and take out the battery which soft bricked my phone. I than flashed back the original GB bootloader and talon 1.2. After which i was able to downgrade to 2.1 using Odin.

I am not an expert but it seems Odin 1 click doesnt work with talon 2.2. You need to first downgrade the kernal to 1.2 and than flash with Odin.

First post, been lurking for a while though.

Just wondering if there's any plans to add a landscape layout to the Xperia home screen? I've always been a Sony Ericsson fan, and I still am, but I've realized that the captivate just completely destroys my old X10a. I'd like to keep using the Xperia layout though. Maybe something like the landscape Samsung home screen that's already on it?

Either way, great rom. I was using firefly before, but i'm already liking this one better and I just flashed it maybe 10 minutes ago. Keep up the good work!

I removed the battery and tried holding down the up volume button and power to get to recovery so I could flash the apex ROM, but it still boots in to the talon kernel screen. How do I fix this?
