I do the same thing. If a dev changed several aspects of the look, and I don't like it, I probably wouldn't flash. I don't always feel like having to customize the look, and some aren't comfortable with theming.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Flashed this like 20 mins ago. I already love it. I was on Serendipity VII before this and I loved that ROM, but I got God-awful battery life. I've been flashing ROMs since trying to find a new one with the stock GB layout and I've been mostly disappointed as all of the other 2.3 ROMs pretty much have TW4 ports, but man was I excited when I flashed this. It's perfect. It's launcher is all stock Gingerbread, but the icons and all of that are stock SGS, which is nice. This ROM is perfect. Great job man! :)
[Captivate Android Development] bekarhoo:
Thanks & wireless issue

Great ROM. I am running the Talon 0.4.1 kernel, till now battery drain is minimal, currently 48hr 6% charge left, going through battery calibration. I went through this because the stock install the battery was draining really quickly without any use. Someone suggested change the modem, but the latest development I am going to monitor before I do that.

Coming to my question, anyone notice the wireless (WLAN) performance is really poor? Is there any tricks to this can I try something else?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Calibrating won't fix the charging bug, which it appears he got.
[Captivate Android Development] barrydavisjr:
Yes, made sure that i was using the download links from the correct model range. The only thing I did not differentiate between was the link 1 and link 2 downloads. I believe that I chose the link 2 wipe version.

Any possible way to install the stock browser ?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Read the op, browser situation is explained. Some others have (in my opinion limited) success with a modded/hacked version of it. I couldn't link you to, just read back a few pages and you should find it.

I am liking Dolphin mini. I tried Dolphin HD and didn't care ofr it, but I am liking this. Also tried, and didn't like, Opera mobile, Skyfire, and something else I can't remember.
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Also try xScope, really great browser...
[Captivate Android Development] Sqb:
+1 for xscope. Haven't had any problems with it through all the continuum releases. Nice features and opens quickly with double tap and pinch to zoom working great.

Anyone have any trouble with paypal FC on login? Seems to have started when I flashed 6.1, possibly at 6RC. Not sure if it was a rom issue or on me
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
uninstall and reinstall it.
[Captivate Android Development] bferguson:
Tried that, the only thing I havent tried was uninstall and then delete any left over data from a file manager.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Hadn't used mine in a while, but just tried and worked fine, logging in using the PIN method.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
+1 to that, very under rated browser, or not well known anyway. Been using it since 5.35 and have never looked back.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Loaded it this morning, it is fast! may become my only browser!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That was my reaction too, back in the eclair 2.1 roms.

Not only fast but very configurable and I love the one finger zoom option. The ability to mask your device as a different one, ie, desktop, older android, even an i-phone/ipad is great, I need to for my bank and it works quite well. :cool:

Except slower speeds on the 3G signal, everything else seems to be running fine for me on this ROM. Are there any other options to flash a different modem ? Any idea which modems are compatible with this ROM ? Thanks

Not to be "that guy", but...

I haven't updated to 6.1 (or 6.0!) yet, and as it has been a while since it came out (since I basically just found this topic since Cesar never tells the old post that he's making a new one and I bookmark it), is 6.2 or another future revision due out relatively soon? Or should I update now?

I'm dying for the stock browser to get sorted. I've installed every alternate browser (including the hacked stock browser which is laggy and without a scrollbar) , and each one annoys me in some kinda way. Oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
Opera is my browser of choice. If you have used it, what could possibly have annoyed you?
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Xscope, no annoyances and way better than stock browser.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Once again, +1 on xScope!

Been using it for almost a year now as my default browser although I have Opera Mobile too because I use that on my PCs and all my bookmarks are linked between all the devices.

xSope is by far the best one for Android on my phone. Just no comparison especially against the stock browser which is, IMO, as bad as using IE5 compared to just about all of the alternatives. :p

Like I said, just IMO. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
Was curious about xscope so I gave it a try. Very impressed..For those of you on the fence as to thier daily browser, I encourage you to atleast give it a try...

Thanks for the tip!!

Help please

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, so here goes

1. Went into system/data/apps and moved EMAIL.apk file to sd card to try an email.apk from another rom.

2. Couldn't not get to instal

3. Moved original Continuum email.apk back to system/data/apps folder. Touch it and press install get "Application not Installed"

4. Short of restoring a Nandroid how to i get my darn email app installed to set up my email agian

Update Autorotate issue fixed

Just wanted to post an update in case anyone else can use the info. The problem with my auto rotate was that the calibration process would not complete. I had flashed back to stock and custom roms to fix the issue and nothing seemed to work. I always followed the instructions and wiped my device through cwm and factory reset on the device itself. In the course of doing this i noticed that there was some data that was not deleting. I ended up using the master clear function on one of the Odin installers and made sure that the calibration process worked. Everything is peachy now.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I'm guessing you did the moving with root explorer or the like...if its back where it belongs try a reboot that might be all you need.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I did, and un-installed Dolphin completely. xscope is really fast, my new everyday browser.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yep, tried 3 diff root explorer programs, Tit BU, & Root Tool Box with Dalvi Wipes, reboots ,etc to no avail.

Finally, did an NAND restore but would love to get the other email.apk running so as to get rid of the screen flashing on for alerts
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Its a non installable app.... you just put it in /system/app and reboot... thats it.

sent from my continuum powered captivate on tapatalk....
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
That's what I thought but I did that exact way and after reboot I opened the app drawer to set up my email accounts and there was no icon there. So I looked in the system/app folder and it was in the list showing as follows:

Email.apk (not installed)

So I tapped it and it tries unsuccessfully to install, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
This is driving me nuts. If I use SGS tools from the market I can press stock email or the galaxy tab email and it works. But then if I move the apk file of the one on my phone it says not installed.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
THats ok..... and it doesn't say not installed, it says no install... which means you can't just click on it and install it. It means you have to manually put it in /system/app and reboot. Then your email app will work just fine.

Make sure you don't have an email.apk in /data/app

you only want it in /system/app

What email.apk are you trying to install?

When you check to see if its in there... don't use the app manager.... I use supermanager and go to the actual folder to see if its in there.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I'm doing exactly as above but it is not working. I think the problem is the email.apk I'm trying to use is pulled from my wife's rooted stock verizon fascinate.

I just pulled the email apk from Serendipity VII and it worked fine. Only problem there is it has no pinch to zoom feature.

So if anyone knows of a rom that has pinch to zoom but doesn't have the screen flash notification also like Continuum does let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
lol.... gmail.apk make s the screen light up and mms.apk as well... I don't think its apk related. who cares if it lights up for 2 seconds?

Because if I'm sitting outside some crack house at 0300 and one of the other guys shoots me a text saying they got someone approaching, I can't have the car lighting up like the fourth of July screwing up an entire bust that may have been months in planning.

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The blue thing is BlueAnt, makers of hands free setups for phones via bluetooth and hence the name. I have an older Blueant ST3 and the reading of text, incoming caller names, etc., are very convenient features and BlueAnt does it well.

email notification light up

I'm on the same boat as you, screen light up for every email received is annoying and wasting battery, asked on continuum forum no one seems to annoyed by it.

anyway... here is how I got it.

Extract out original email.apk from any deodexed UCKF1 based rom.

put it on SD, disconnect / unconfigure your email account then clear data.

Use root explorer copy email.apk from UCKF1 to /system/app/ replacing the original one (make backup if you want).

With root explorer, change owner to both root user. change permission, duplicate other files permission set on /system/app.

Reboot phone.

You've got UCKF1 email after reboot, it's easily noticeable cause the UI is very different with white background and blue menu bar on top, and drop down list style to select folder, rather than scrolling left and right bar.

UCKF1 email DO NOT light up screen upon receiving mail... THANK GOD!

pinch to zoom.. also working.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It lights up for 3 seconds and its normally in the pocket....

Battery usage if you got 50 emails with notification everytime would be 150 seconds ... 2.5 minutes of screen on time.... wow that's a lot of usage.... lol

Tethering problem on 6.1

Team thank you very much for great ROM.

I have moved from Phoenix(Froyo) ROM to Continuum 5.x (GB);

Currently on 6.1 since it was released. I also use "Go Launcher EX" and Titanium Backup.

I have been user of Tethering in all versions. However I am currently having problem with using Tethering. Once tethering is set to on and my Laptop connects to the Access Point. I am not able to unlock my Phone; it seems my phone is too busy.

Not sure if it is a ROM problem or my upgrade process problem (wherein I might be copying old code or data).

The step I follow;

1) Backup all apps with TB

2) Save screens setup from "Go Launcher" export

3) Upgrade to new ROM with/without wipe

4) Restore all System Data

5) Restore all Apps with Data

Is there a recommended approach to keep up with new ROM upgrades.

Thanks in advance.

:confused:

[Captivate Android Development] milkman1026:
Is anyone else having problems with everything slowing down after a few days. I had this problem before, and figured it was because I restored system data.

This time around, however, I didn't do that. After a few days it takes about 10 seconds to open an app from the time the icon is pressed.

I know in advanced task killer, when it starts to slow down I look and see that no more than 50M ram is available.

When it's running fine 100M+ is free. Right now, i'm running Talon 0.4.1 OC'd to 1200mHz and a theme and that's it. Any help would be appreciated, as Continuum is possibly the best rom out there. :D

Yes i have the same problem. Everything slows down after a couple of days. Ext4 does not help.

Also my battery now suddenly drains nowadays.Let's say it is like 35 percent, then i check it after two hours and i see it is 3 percent. And worse is, this happens even when sync,3g, wireless are all shut down.

Well, I am at a loss, after a few days things just start to become very sluggish, even on ext 4. Today doing nothing, not even using the phone the battery drain was excessive. I lost 50% in a few hours not using the phone, when I do use it, it becomes very hot, I am not overclocking or undervolting. I have severa;pare batteries and I used three today, that's crazy, it continuously rebooted or shut down completely. I am going to flash back to stock and start over, third time this week. I may have to go back to a Froyo based Continuum because as much as I love this ROM, I need a working phone.
[Captivate Android Development] milkman1026:
Yeah, that's what I've been using. I downloaded Advanced Task Killer just to see what free memory I had. I bought System Panel ages ago, and reinstalled that. I think I'll try without task manager (for the most part) and use it in the instance you stated.

This is the only time I've had the problem with it slowing down was with 6.1. The Froyo versions I used were fine and all the way up to the RC version were fine.

I just didn't know if it was something to do with the themes I was applying or something else.

Thanks for the help!

This also has been happening to me. Right now I'm doing without the OC that I had previously done. Mine usually restarts when I turn on WiFi using the notification dropdown.
