I did not really flash it yet. I used the GPS as it came in 4.2 quite a bit today in a few configurations. With a plastic battery cover (and the extended battery it came with), it worked flawlessly, only giving me a small circle of indecision for a few seconds once in a half hour of driving. With the metal battery cover and body glove case, it showed a circle, sometimes large, every few minutes. With the metal battery cover and plugged into the charger, it showed circles, mostly large, every minute or so and completely dropped the signal once in a half hour, which is not bad at all for this configuration on my phone.

I also used the GPS function hiking in the woods today (with the plastic battery cover) and it worked very well there too, locking almost immediately and never losing signal for a half hour.

So, GPS is working great for me already, but I will still give h3llstorm's fix a try.

I don't know why the GPS on my phone works so poorly when it is plugged into a charger. I can kind of understand why it does not work as well with the metal battery cover and body glove case since these might be attenuating the signal more than a plastic cover.

You may find Polaris Office is less "crashy" if you drop these two files in system/lib.

Then again, there's always OliveOffice.

Hey thanks for your work on the GPS! I first flashed to Dlevrom a while back and the GPS seemed much better, but when you said you'd tweaked a few things... well, I'm always up for a little tweaking, and OMG it really made a difference. I was satisfied with it before and now it's great. Locks on in just a few seconds and stays that way. What more can you ask for? I only had a slight burp, as just occasionally it showed me off to one side of the road, paralleling it. Not much and not often. It sounds like the Accuracy Threshold changes might take care of that tho.

So anyway, KUDOs to you! Thanks

Ok, so I finally got around to changing my Swype kb back to the themed one in version 4.1. After going thru the process twice with no changes, I noticed the name of the zip file was 'Theme_Swype_4.2.zip'

So my question is, is this the Swype from 4.2, so that when I flash it nothing changes since that's whats on there now or is it actually the 'themed' one from 4.1 and I'm not flashing it correctly?

You can tell it's extreme, because they misspelled "extreme" - and it has a big "X" in the name.

I have several bootanimation.zip files,what file name do I need to change a bootanimation.zip file to make it work on this JVQ based ROM? Or is this based on what Kernel you are using? I know it goes in system/media folder.

Thanks

Edit: Never mind I found it Kernel based.

When I was on 4.1 I had about 30-36 hours of battery life, so far on 4.2 im not even getting a day and Im barely using the phone. Im getting massive battery drain when Im sleeping or when the screen is off. Any help?

Which process/app is eating your battery?
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Try just wiping battery stats first on full charge. I had same deal that's what I did first and it made better. Otherwise flash again on good charge.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I think the name of the Animation file is based on how the author has made the Kernel. Fiecto's Darkcore Kernel for GB uses bootanimation.zip as file name still I believe,I know his first DC Kernels for GB did. But for Talon you indeed need to change the name to sanim.zip

I'm really happy with rom. Small issues but I'm very happy with it. I'm posting this 'cause I can tell this is team work!;) This is work well done. Good things come to those who wait and was waiting for a rom like this one for a while. Finally!!!

I have now flashed the h3llstorm GPS fix and it does work better. I thought my GPS was working well before when it did not have error circles even though the arrow moved a bit jerky down the street, as it did on most of the previous roms I have used. Now it is very smooth, just like a standalone gps unit (when using a plastic battery cover). Thanks, h3llstorm!

Rest up, bro. We've got everything under control.
[Captivate Android Development] androidpwns:
Whoa this ROM is excellent! I finally decided to install the latest AT&T Gingerbread bootloaders rather than the I9000 Gingerbread bootloaders and

I must say that Gingerbread is finally running smoothly on my phone. I wonder if the new bootloaders made a difference.

Also, I've noticed that the screen is extra sharp and the colors seen more accurate than ever before on this ROM and that the LCD density looks like it has been lowered which looks really nice with all the extra readable text area. Has there been some recent improvements made for Voodoo Color? I'm coming from Fasty v2.3 and I noticed that I can finally see the Voodoo Color options from my Voodoo Control Plus app now.

LOSTLOGIC89, developer of Fasty v2.3, claims that there are no options for Voodoo Color and I know that that is simply not true.

I noticed that there is a new toggle for data now which leads me to wonder If someone could make some sort of app or menu in the settings to customize the notification power widget just like in Cyanogenmod 7!

H3llstorm, how is your experience with Talon 4.9? I had a terrible time with 4.3 then a GREAT experience with 4.6 and bad with 4.8 and now terrible with 4.9.

I'm currently running DC 3.0 and so far so good!

Flashed DarkCore 3.0 JVR C and noticed 2 things:

1. No Voodoo Color - screen is brighter than I'm used to, even with Brightness turned all the way down, and...

I have been using Cognition roms for many generations and they were pretty good. I flashed MIUI, CM7 GB roms and they were all so laggy and annoying, so I wen't back to Cognition 4.3.5.

I was resigned to staying on Cog until an Official GP rom was presneted from AT&T I saw MobileTech Vid on youtube about dlevRom.....DAMN IT! Now I had to flash the rom. SO GLAD I DID!!!!!!! Finally, a GB ROM that is stable and works with the CAPPY. I have better batter life than with other GB roms and especially the Froyo roms.

For kicks and giggles, I tried Juice Defender and It definitely improved my battery life, but I felt that it caused lags b/c it has to flip radios on and off.

(Edit: I found that when I went from TW Launcher to LauncherPro that I had a lot better touch response, less lag)

Modem wise, I get much better reception in my home and the GPS locks and stays locked, which is better than I have ever had regardless of any "Fixes" applied.

@Dlev: Thank you. This is the first rom I have been excited about and will donate. And the Dlev forums are way more fun especially with h3llstorm as the thread whipping boy :)
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
I flashed this rom on Thursday and so far I have had 2 charger bugs problems. Had anybody tried any if the newer talon kernels and gotten it the go away.

Awesome Rom!! Just flashed a couple days ago.. was also successful in flashing the legend x theme & a sweet red theme from darky called goldielicious RC6 over the top of the legend X.... also flashed Dlevs bootscreen animation.. Result: is just pure awesome... Awesome bootsounds, shutdown, & charging initiated sounds when plugging in charger, from legend x theme, redilicious dialer, menus, and other goodies from RC6 theme.. Seems to have kept the best features of both themes & combined them for one of slickest looking roms I've ever used.. I am not having any issues so far other than my cappy just looks to good to put down... Have overclocked to 1.39 ghz & so far.. not a glitch to speak of..

I noticed your earlier post and couldn't help but ask... have you had any further luck with the update_call_recording_non_ascending_tone.zip in any of the GB roms you've tried?
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Don't go nuts with it. If you raise it too high the unit won't discard errant position calculations when it really ought to. Instead an aberrant calculation gets misinterpreted as a sudden change in position, meaning a violent change in speed and direction. This can lead to road "snapping" errors, unnecessary route recalculation etc.

Hint: a 50m change in pos in 1 sec = 50m/s = about 111 mph. So unless you're in the habit of driving really, really fast or using your phone for aerial navigation 50-60 is probably sufficient.

I haven't looked at gps much since the GB ROMs started dropping as it seemed like Samsung had finally decided to configure GPS less stupidly. It mostly seemed much less necessary than on Froyo and I was pretty sick of GPS by about then, but if there's interest maybe I could look into it again.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I've been trying 60 & 100, and haven't noticed much difference. I'll probably stick with 60.

If you have the time to look at my settings - or point me to where I can find some reliable info - I'd really appreciate it. They're pretty solid for the most part, but I'm still losing signal from time to time, though this may be a modem issue.

It's mostly guesswork based upon little more than internet rumors right now. On the bright side - according to everyone who's tried it - it seems I'm a good guesser.
[Captivate Android Development] erikbacon:
Since yesterday my quick search button has been going off randomly, kind of the way the home button used to do awhile back. I don't think this is rom related as I recently tried apex but the problem was still there. Any help is appreciated,thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
The most important change that helped was probably upping the threshold from 0. Seems like every once in a while some engineer at Samsung gets it into his head that by turning off all the other features and and making the GPS report a series of static fixes that somehow everything will be fixed. The reality of it is a little different.

There's plenty of general GPS stuff in the plumbBob thread if you're really bored. :) Da_g's GPS thread has some great stuff too.

But there's basically zero hard, specific information about the particulars of the GPS implementation in the Captivate, and even less on the GB implementation. Broadcom only makes its SDK available to its customers (Samsung) and Samsung considers its drivers and .apk's proprietary closed source and makes nothing available publicly, if for no other reason than it would highlight their ineptitude. You almost need not bother Googling as there's hardly anything concrete to be found. And to make matters worse, this unit has hardware *and* software/configuration difficulties, many of which are not readily addressed by open source devs.

You can apply common sense and peck about the edges of the problem incrementally. Basically have to experiment and see what helps & what doesn't. The hardest & most time-consuming part is the testing & feedback. Most of the reason pB was in beta so long and pB 2.0 was eventually abandoned.

Keep in mind too that gps.conf isn't the only place where gps configurations live on these devices. Look at things like /system/vendor/etc/gps.xml too. Just make sure to have some Tylenol on hand, because it's gonna give you a headache. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] BumRush:
Is there a way to revert back to the normal 5 toggles? The data one seems redundant since you can change it from the extended power menu.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
easy fix, I cannot make it CWM flashable because Im on vacation however.

Put DlevROM 4.1 on your SD card. Open in up with like root explorer, go into the system/app of 4.1, copy the SystemUI.apk, and move it into the system/app of 4.2, overwrite it, reboot, and there you go!

I used to have problems similar to these when using various screen protectors, most frequently being pressing the home button and search coming up, but also spurious button presses. Using the AT&T protectors (the 3 pack for $10 ones) has caused the least problems for me.

I have a quick question. I'm currently running the TalonDev 4.4 kernel with this rom and was thinking about updating it to the newer 4.4.9 version or switching to DC 3.0. Should I flash back to stock again then flash the kernel, or is it safe to flash the 4.4.9 version over the previous version?

BTW, loving this ROM. Best one I've tried so far :)
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
You can change kernels w/o flashing to stock.

If the kernel does not have lagfix enabled by default you have to disable voodoo first.

FYI, this is ROM is JVQ and I believe DC 3.0 if for JVR. You would want DC 2.9.3

btw is there any themes for the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
I always go to settings, display and wallpapers and set the lock screen wallpaper and its works just fine for me. The screen goings black from what I understand is a gingerbread thing, you just gotta put your finger over the sensor and remove it and the screen should come back up

If you haven't already you could also try Talon 4.4.13, you can flash it with SGS Kernel flasher right over the top of 4.4 that came with the Rom. .9 had some issues but .13 seems to be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
If you're still having problems with lockscreen wallpaper, you might try changing your lockscreen to something other than SGSII, then change the wallpaper, then change back if that's the one you want. Someone else had same issue using the SGSII lockscreen, could be a bug with that.
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:

Under Color profiles, I'm using the Voodoo profile. The Original profile should be brighter.

Under Screen RGB multipliers, I pressed the reset button. Raising them up equally should brighten the image without throwing off the color.

Under Screen v1 gamma hack, I'm using Alt settings. I find the Punchy settings too dark and "contrasty", losing a lot of detail in images. Resetting to 2.3.3 defaults will give you a brighter image.
