Totally agree that a lot of ROMs are becoming unnecessarily bloated with things readily available (and easily installed from) the Marketplace. Multiple launchers, wallpapers... eek. Although I disagree with root, as the process is often tricky and enough people have issues with it that pre-rooting a ROM makes total sense without adding much weight.

But the logic of installing a static hosts file to address a dynamic (ever-evolving/changing) problem baffles me. Just install AdFree and call it a day. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
As I agree with you 100% now that I have made my own ROM I feel as if, I should still cater to the people that want it, and if you dont want it, well its just a little easier.

I understand about the un needed apps, once I can find a very solid base of theming and speed accompanied with stability (which I think I may have hit in v2.0 which im finishing up now) Im gonna try and slim this thing down even more similiarliy to MikeyMike's ROMs which have always been one of my favorite ROMs.

Im gonna start taking out some Samsung App junk (although some of it that is included I like), and creating flashable zips where people can get them back (i.e. a Samsung Bloatware.zip, or a Data/App.zip with apps that YOU want)

But for now I think 2.0 will have a good balance for now, as it still is very snappy and even stabler than 1.5.

So I hope y'all enjoy! And again please tell me what Y'ALL want in this ROM, and I'll be sure to try and find a way! Haha.

Enjoy

Where did you get the Dark Core Kernel???
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Darkyy gave me the zImage, but I think its up on their website now.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Most of the GB roms that i see here have TW, sony and GB launchers. The GB launchers included have landscape support and drop to uninstall feature. Not sure about TW & sony being available in market.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Agreed but that being said I could install the Sony one if y'all would like, but the GB launcher arent my favorite.

I like the TW4.5, and wanna save space, and give the user to install whichever home launcher they want. That being said if y'all would like in the next update I can include the launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
This is your ROM buddy and you should include whatever you and users feel like.

I was just curious about the term "bloated" being used for other GB roms.

Sorry for posting this on your thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Dlev's 2.0 is up!

Enjoy!

Changelog on OP
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well, you do know I like Apex. ;)

I did find though that what appeared to be processes for launchers other than the one I was using (LauncherPro) appeared to be running in the background. I was able to obtain a significant performance and memory boost by removing the other launcher files. So providing multiple options isn't without its negative side-effects. In my case, because I run a lot of widgets, the issue was very noticeable. A user who isn't running many widgets or background processes might not notice or realize the other launchers are still stealing RAM and CPU cycles.

I remember this also being the case with 2.1 and 2.2, and Touchwiz. I was typically removing (well, freezing... since I use Titanium Backup) Touchwiz and Touchwiz-only widgets to save memory (not space). They would still launch up into RAM even though I was using LauncherPro.

Since everyone is obsessed with speed, memory, and "butter smoothness" :P on ROMs it might be worth considering all things that might reduce these. Unfortunately on Android, if it's installed but you don't think you're using it doesn't mean it's not taxing RAM and CPU. "Unused" apps are far from benign.

Perhaps have the other launchers (the ones not available on the market) as separate CWM-flashable files so the user can only apply the one they want? Just a thought... I'm sure there are all sorts of other solutions too (such as mine, but it's worth then listing what files go with what launcher as they aren't named obviously).

Food for thought. :) Cheers...
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Really want to try 2.0 but can't get it to download. Any mirrors?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
We'll you are on your phone so that may be the problem.

If others are having download problems then I'll be confused because its the same thing I did for 1.5

If someone would like too and can successfully download this, mirrors are always appreciated.

Thanks and sorry but I think its just that you are downloading it from your phone.

EDIT: I also was having a problem, its weird I tested the link when I first uploaded it and it worked. I think it may just be a problem with Megaupload, which is annoying because my internet isnt that great so uploading is a hassle. And I'm going out tonight, so hopefully its a megaupload issue and not something wrong with my ROM, that being said if there is something wrong after I get back tonight Ill take down the link and have to try again tomorrow... Oh well. First road bumb im assuming hahah

EDIT 2: Its a problem with MegaUpload, just keep refreshing the page and you'll get to the download. Sorry for that inconvenience.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thanks for the kinds words. Here are my settings and what they look like

Edit : the app won't let me upload high quality but you can vagually see the sliders. And you'll see yourself if you like the look. Personally its my perfect balance of blue and cold colors.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Odd. After I flashed this I lost root. (Note: I didn't update Superuser Permissions like some people are saying.. I lost root the second I flashed the rom.)

Jrafael's post fixed it up, though. Updated Superuser, and then ran his binaries, as Superuser's weren't working. Now I have root. =P

My major peeve is the Market skinning, honestly. The half black/half green just boggles my eyes. :(
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
really enjoying the update

the only problem is im not getting text notifications(sound or icon), even though the options selected

(with either handcent or default sms app)

edit: just wanted to add shouldn't be an install glitch, i flashed back to stock, master cleared , then stock gb, then this
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Have you tried one of these themed markets? I'm using the "Neon FluoGreen version".

[Captivate Android Development] Geezer000:
I cleared cache and dalvik, i also did the factory reset. I flashed a second time and it seemed to work fine this time.... probably just a bad flash. I will test today to make sure its ok. After that being said, I really like this ROM. Nice and fast.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jrkangta:
I was not able to read the whole thread but I just want to ask if any of you are experiencing FCs in EDT Tweaks? I consistently get it by starting EDT Tweaks -> Lockscreen Options -> then clicking either Lockscreen Delay or Lockscreen Timeout option. Any workaround on this?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
The only time that should happen is if you have the four lockscreen sliders and you slide the EDT app. If your on 3.5+ you should and will not have this problem.

Flash 3.8 this time, however before you flash wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition, and ALSO wipe your dalvik cache, then flash 3.8.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
I'm also having this problem. Text notifications are not working, at all. No vibration, no sound, no nothing.

Interestingly enough, my Handcent is force closing constantly, too. Hrmm. If yours is working.. Maybe I'll uninstall/reinstall handcent. :( I miss it.

Downloading it now. :D Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright with the notifications, have you gone into the stock notification settings and turned on vibrate all times ect?

If you have done that my second guess would be that y'all are having a problem with the SMS Popup interfering with your other SMS app. In that case uninstall SMS Popup.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Tried every option known to man.

Going to try this now, I'll get right back to you.

Edit: Uninstalling SMS Popup fixes the no notification problem. Cheers. :D

Also, have you ever thought about adding different animation options? More so, I like the "locking screen" animation, but hate having *all* the animations going off. Any recommendations/future plans? :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Easy fix. If you have a stock samsung ROM open that. Go into the framework-res.apk/res /anim take that folder and replace the anim folder in my ROM with that of the stock samsung ROM. And you will keep the simple old animatioms but keep CRT off animation.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
I'm not sure if I'm a maniac or not, but one setting that I change is in the camera settings. I go and unchecked the use of flash in photo and video mode. Just in case, remember that the Captive don't have flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Yes thats cause I added the SGS II camera app, I thought it was a nice touch and feature addon.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Can you post the Samsung Quickoffice App. The one that come stock. I try to install the App with the file from Serendipity Add-on, but it don't work.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
For info for other users. I try the market theme that was indicate in previous post. And it work excellent.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
In the lock screen on my phone show "Sim card is locked". What that means, the phone is working the best.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
Just flashed this rom. Great job. I'm loving the swype theme. Best one yet. Its fast and Very stable.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Thanks. :D I'll give it a try. After I reflash.... :(

Seems that changing my lock screen to SGS II through the EGT Tweaks(I think it was called,) put my phone into bootloop. :(
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
For the best performance of the gps download faster fix from the market and chage the location to north america.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
So just download it, open the app, pick the region and press go and that's it?

Is that how it works?
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
Also in the call log, you misspelled favorite... It says favourite
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I did 2 things to improve my GPS performance. I switched to the JJJV5 modem and changed accuracy to 30 instead of 50 in AngryGPS > Settings > General Settings.

Since this is based on an i9000 (international) ROM, I believe that's the British spelling.

I only get the "SIM card is PUK-locked" message instead of "Charged" when the phone is fully charged and the charger is plugged in. Is that what you're talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Great ROM, very speedy. A couuple of force closes so far but I'm trying to see whats causing it.

There is a bug in the youtube app that doesn't let you save videos. When I try the "Save" dialog pops up but there is no selection to be made.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Dlev, I'm getting the same force close after following the same sequence as the poster you quoted. I'm on 3.8 with full reset/wipe.

Gonna reset to factory again and install my apps one by one to see if one of them was the culprit.

Ok, just got another one of those "fast" reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I didn't know the Youtube app allows downloading. I use Tubemate, which also lets you pick which resolution you want to download and allows you to convert videos into MP3s.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Ok did a factory wipe, and after a few mins I got another reboot. :confused::confused::confused:

(everything is stock, btw)

Edit: Which bootloaders is everyone running? I have the I9000 ones, maybe that's making the difference?
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
I had the i9000, but noticed it now says i897 now. Sooo.. Not sure. @_@
[Captivate Android Development] stewtang:
Just flashed the update and everything looks great! I love the cyanogenmod themed dialer. I have had no problems and it runs great!
[Captivate Android Development] thumper_1151:
I am having massive random reboots no real consistency. I have had about 6 today. No uv stock kernel. Performed wipe/clear before install. I also had a fwe force closes. Bit clearing cache and rebooting seemed to fix that.
[Captivate Android Development] dotuananh88:
You should flash Dlev 3.8. Ramdom reboots are fixed and it is no longer happend.
[Captivate Android Development] thumper_1151:
I flashed it yesterday!
[Captivate Android Development] thumper_1151:
I wiped cache and delvik. reflashed talon will report back tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Dlev's v3.8 includes the TalonDev 0.4.1 352 MB kernel. According to the Talon thread:

I don't know if it "breaks" anything else, but you might want to try one of the 340MB versions. I'm using the TalonDEV 0.4.1 340MB 1200MHZ kernel, but there's also the TalonDEV 0.4.1 340MB NO-OC version available.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
I took it a step further and went to Darky's kernel. Testing now and will report back.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
These should all be compatible with Dlev's 3.8 ROM:

(Copied from the Apex 8.2 thread)

Kernel 3 is a modified version of kernel 1.

Kernel's 4 & 5 are close to stock, with some modifications (like Voodoo).
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Darky's has been running fine for over a day on my cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Lets hope it fixes the random reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] Theodor911:
3.7 was amazing with dark core...Talon pretty much ruined this 3.8 release imo, multiple fc and was overall not as snappy.. Installed dark core 2.9 and I am more than happy once again
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
I haven't had a problem with the stock kernel on 3.8.. no force closes besides some of the apps that I just had to reinstall, once reinstalled(from the market, not from TB,) they ran fine.

Handcent seems incredibly laggy; Not sure if it's the kernel, or handcent's latest update, though.. Maybe I'll give 2.9 a chance.

Anyone else having problems, in general, with EDT Tweaks? I've now tried setting the battery colors, to no avail, and last time I tried switching the lock screen, it sent my phone into a bootloop. :/
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I'm having the opposite experience, though I'm using the 340MB/1200 version.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
really digging the ROM, very nice!

my sig is in need of adjustment now.
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Rom is great! Accidentally did horizontal calibration and orientation is now messed up. Anyway to set it back to default?

Never mind, fixed itself by turning auto rotation on and off!
[Captivate Android Development] Geezer000:
I've always Had problems with the talon kernels, I think its more if your hardware can't handle all the tweaks it freaks out. Mine definitely can't. I went back to darkcore as well and running much better. Theres nothing wrong with the talon kernel, just my phone doesn't like it.

Sent from my Cappy using the XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Exactly, the reason I switched was because of all the tweaks and the features, and if your phone cannot handle it or it freaks out while using it, justflash another kernel, on the OP I put an alternate kernel list.

Personally I never had much problems with DarkCore, but when I switched to the Talon, and made all the ram tweaks, I have eliminated all those problems with the FC's that happened to me as well as some random reboots I used to get.

Mix and match kernels, as well as modems, and see if that fixed reboots for the some of y'all.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
For me the Talon Talon Kernel is Working excellent.

One think that I notice was that with the Fancy Widget it takes about 15% of the battery. I just close the widget and now it don't appear in the list. I was using Fancy Widget Pro, not the version included with the ROM.

Other think is that when the phone is charging the battery in the screen lock is blue not green. I'm going to check the UOT Kitchen for other battery mod to see if it show the correct one in the lock screen (I'm using the Android Lock Screen).
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Wallpaper

Check this out guys!

Thanks to Mortem Tuam for whipping this up:
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Awesome.

It will be good idea to included it as a boot screen, like the other ROMS that has it's costume boot screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Geezer000:
I never had any FC's with talon but I would just get random slow downs that I would have to restart the phone to fix. Its happened on my phone on any of exists kernel (talon, onyx) on any rom since 2.2. I have one of those very picky cappys. I've also noticed that darkcore runs better on your rom than it does on continuum or mosaic. Definitely my favorite rom so far. Great job Dlev....

Sent from my Cappy using the XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
You can add to the list Serendipity, after I install talon it begin to slow down, FC and the auto brightness gone crazy.

Now I Switch to Delv's and all is working super excellent.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
One addition that I will like is the Gingerbread Keyboard. It's there's a way to add it. I'm currently using the Swype beta unthemed.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Other setting that I change in the camera is the resolution, by default it is set to 8 megapixels. I change it to 5 mp. And the video if use the default kernel you have to change the resolution too.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I have always imagined that image as a bootscreen type deal, but I need help.

I dont know how to make a bootscreen, so I leave y'all on a hunt/help for me, if y'all could prepare or find someone who can make a bootanimation.zip for Dlev ROM, and Ill create an addon package for y'all with the new wallpaper, and bootanimation.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
On Darky's with only stock apps and still getting random reboots. I also tried the jk4 modem but no luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I have no idea what to tell you, the random reboots arent happening for most, and It has been completely eliminated for me.

Im sorry, but I guess my ROM just doesnt coincide well with your phone haha.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Running for two days and counting, without a reboot or FC. My Quadrant Score 2,126 that the max that I see for my phone with a 1000 Hz kernel. Fantastic.

Just to Resume this is minor thinks for the Rom:

1. Lock Screen Message Sim Locked

2. Lock Screen Battery Meter when charging Blue instead of Green (out of theme)

3. Include Gingerbread Keyboard (Please)

4. Setting for the camera, disable flash and change resolution for photo to 5mp and in the video mode change the resolution 720 X 480 if you stay in the included Kernel (Kernel has a hack of the 720p for more memory).

5. Screen goes completely black from time to time, it not wait for the 1 minute that I change in Screen time out.

6. When I turn on the phone and unlock the screen always has black screen with only the bottoms of launcher pro and 1/4 of the wallpaper at the bottom (I just choose applications and then home and all work fine)

7. For the GPS download the app Faster Fix and change the current server (the default is Europe)

8. If is possible add the Samsung Quick Office app, the Thinkfree Office always ask for activation and when I try to activate it indicates that it cannot be activated on this hardware device. I try installing it using the Add-on from Serendipity VII, but don't work.

This is only details. The ROM are very fast and complete. For be the first ROM of Delv, I think this the best right now, if not a close one.

Ps. If you have problem with signal, call quality or download speed. 99.99% is related to the modem, not the ROM. GO and check the modem threat http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391

Good Job
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thanks man, the SIM Card Locked and the Blue Battery will be the hardest because thats a mod that I just whipped together, but I'll see what I can do with that, but I have not had the SIM Card locked at all anymore.

As for the camera, keyboard, Faster Fix, those are all very easy and will be included in the next release, or I could just whip together an addon package sometime soon.

As for the Samsung Quick office if your provide me with an .apk file Ill throw that in there as well.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
I send you a PM.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Is anyone else having EDT Tweaks either:

A. Causing problems or

B. Not working at all?
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
I definitely like Dlev's v3.8 so far. Performance is great, maybe the best I've tried on my Captivate. Stability, too soon to judge but apart from a single post-call reboot everything has been smooth. We'll see :)

Great work Dlev7!
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Now I notice that the Sim Card locked appear when the battery is under 19%.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Everytime I try and create a package with the gingerbread keyboard it installs but its FC's every single time.

I want to accomodate everyone but with a keyboard if I cant get it working youll just have to download one from the market.

But what I dohave now! Is an addon package with the new wallpaper, hacked camera, quick office, and faster fix installed automatically without a wipe. Just this pesky keyboard is annoying!

EDIT: Alright it was just TOO ANNOYING! If you want the gingerbread keyboard please just download it from the Market, I will try as hard as I can for the next major release but now, its just too much to stop those FC's. But below is an addon package which will include:

New custom Dlev Wallpaper (looks freaking awesome)

I added the hacked camera and fixed all those problems y'all were talking about

Added Faster Fix so you can change the pool to North America and GPS will be much better

Added Quick Office for those who wanted it

And one small fix in the Framework-res.apk.

http://www.mediafire.com/?rs2k7b3gz2qnun3

Enjoy! Its small, and I know most really wont flash but I know at least one of y'all wanted it : D *Melvinaury*

Have you tried xcals reorient 2.0? That is the closest to stable stock build there is.

Sent from my Cappy using the XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Thanks for the tip but I'm guessing that if I've had problems with 3 different kernels than a 4th one won't change much.

I've gone back to Continuum for now, hopefully more people report the same issue and the root cause is found.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Has anyone install the new android market. It use the theme from the phone. It is very different that the old one.

Delv can you include it in a new build.
[Captivate Android Development] Geezer000:
I thought the same thing until I tried it. Cured my issues with continuum when I was running it. I just don't want you to miss out on a great rom because of an issue we can hopefully fix for you. Which rom/kernel were you running before this one?

Sent from my Cappy using the XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
Heh, well I guess I could try it! :D

Immediately prior to Dlev's, I was using Continuum 6.1 with Darky's 2.9 kernel (rfs). On this ROM I have tried the stock kernel and Darky's 2.9. On Dlev 3.7, I tried the stock kernel (Darky 2.8?) and Talon 0.3.1. With all setups I have had the same reboot issue.

Believe me, I badly want to use this ROM. The main thing I look for in a ROM is speed/smoothness, and this one is by FAR the fastest (might even be faster in some ways than CM7). :)

I'll report back here with the results.
