Ok. So I just had to do my second battery pool in 5 minutes. I have had the browser and market fc and the browser reloads pages randomly or foes back to the search. This app reloaded itself as well. I think I'm gonna reflash and see. If anyonehas aa link to the old market and the non battery draining maps that would be awesome. Also I use SMS popup and the bln does not work even though it is turned on in settings. Please help thank you

Ok, didn't want to rip and run so here's my experience on this rom. Was very impressed for my first non samsung rom, really liked the quickness and responsiveness as well as the extra features. It took some getting used to but I was a fan. Now for the bad.

I had two issues that really put me in a bad spot. Plugged in overnight Thursday night, which I never do because I know the charging bug issues and usually plug them in when I get home from work and it's done by bedtime and I'm good for 24 hrs or so. So plugged it in, woke up at 3am to a bootloop on the light flashing across the android dude screen and when I reboot I was unable to do anything, fc's across the board! Luckily I backed up so I restored and was good for the day. Got home and plugged in as per normal at approx 20%, left it, went back after a couple hours to check, back in the bootloop and this time battery was almost dead!! At 5% after a couple hours charging! No problem I thought, I'll power down and charge and flash a decent working rom, nope, wont charge when powered down. Well now WTF do I do with no battery and not being able to charge?? Tried to odin my old kernel, then flash the old rom from recovery but couldn't get out of the glitch screen. I had to leave it plugged in on the boot screen hoping it would be taking a charge, left it for a while.

Took the VERY nervous step of flashing back to stock gb with odin not knowing if it would lose battery half way through and I'd be left with a hard brick!

Luckily I'm back to normal now with a WORKING rom and have learned my lesson. Good luck with all that cm7/miui crap, it's not for me. Also very little action on this thread as far as support and help, although I've had questions answered when I've asked there's just nothing happening on here, makes it boring to use.

Thanks for the anxious moments, I wont be back.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
You could of read in a number of the OC/UV kernel threads and found that if you have issues such as a bootloop all you have to do is go into recovery and flash the nightly you were on to fix it. Whenever you flash a nightly it overwrites the kernel and replaces it with the stock kernel. So in case you come back this is some info for ya.

HEy

It says nothing of this on THIS thread, that's the point, when someone has to search hi and low to find help for this rom they won't use it. That's lame dude.

As well there is nothing mentioned in THIS thread about nightlies, thanks for nothing.

[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Well then flash real CM7 (which is more up-to-date than this one) and the newest Glitch kernel, which is newer than the one included.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
From my research on their thread there are too many issues there also. I like to flash, but constant issues I don't like. I'll stick with apex. The speed is very similar, with less headaches. I'm not slamming the hard work, there are things I liked about this rom, the email set up was cool, except how it screws up gmail, and the cm7 tweaks are good, but when I have fundamental breakdowns that almost cause a hard brick, I shy away.

[Captivate Android Development] Spritely:
When you get strange problems like that they're generally the result of a bad flash, rather than a bad rom. Re-flashing generally helps. I've been on one CM7 based rom or another for over a month now and no huge issues come out at me. Heck, the only reason I flashed off of Biffmod was because the latest CM7 nightlies now allow it to charge while powered off.

If you are still looking for band selection in cm7 try *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, menu soft key for band selection
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
That's a good find. I have never seen one posted for CM7 that worked.

Have you actually tried to change the prefered bands from it? Did it work? Not sure if I want to try it yet bit good to know.

yes i have and it worked. you can always go back gsm/cdma auto prl option if it gives you grief. was posted on cyanogenmod forum some time ago.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
im on the same page asyou switched from this to apex, although this rom felt a bit faster and better battery life, i had less problems overall.

and you can fix gmail on this, sync just isnt turned on by default.

hopefully dev updates this and bumps it up a bit id love to go back to it.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Anyone got version .3 working correctly? I KIND OF DID and started reinstalling all my app. Then after a few the market force closed. I opened market back up and found the newer version self installed. I could go in and again started trying to download a couple apps, mainly titanium back up paid version and again it force closed. I then tried reinstalling gapps 6-13 through rom manager and had the old style market back. Opened up market and again tried to get tibu but the market force closed again and again I had the newer market. I DID DELETE the market data and cache but to no avail. I kept trying quite a few times with the same results. I then looked to see if an older version of Biff was available in case it was an issue with .3 (the day .3 was available) but could not find one listed on the webpage from the OP or from rom manager. Any help would be appreciated. EVERYTHING ELSE seemed to be working flawlessly with the rom but I could not install all my apps due to not being able to get tibu at all.

Okay a little history to explain... I got my second cappy back from repair and when being fixed had the i897 Gingerbread Bootloader put on it. Cm7 as stated below worked flawless. So got busy on it. I first installed CM7 nightly #91 and made sure my phone was working properly and set up the way I want it. I then performed a nandroid and followed the direction from the OP and wiped data, cache, and dalcich cache and then installed it. So NOW I am going to try install it again but only wipe cache and dalvich cache first. I will see how it goes this time around. So basically I have not seen anyone with issues installing .3 of Biff so I thought I would check if anyone else has had the same type of issue.

EDIT2: I got all my apps installed finally and once I was able to install tibu the market started working. But now my home button doesn't seem to be working. I hit it and it vibrates but does not exit to the home screen. After I get everything backed up properly I will try to reflash again without wiping data this time.

I would love it if SMS pop up would work on this rom. It would be awesome. But bln doesn't work, and after I text with it, the 4 buttons don't work.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Use Go SMS and you can get SMS popup. Also with neo 17r7 (platypus) the led notification works well... It's not bln though, it's a different implementation. Sometimes the soft keys die, just lock and unlock your phone and it's fine.
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Anyway to get back to apex without using a computer. I've already tried flashing talon but it won't take. Guessing because this uses cwm 4.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
No, you have to odin with a full repartition, which requires a computer.
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Was afraid of that. No computer and no dev around so probably no update. But it's a nice rom just no access to external SD.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:

Yes, it can. The OP hasn't been updated in forever.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I am confused, why can't you access the external sdcard? I can see and use my external sdcard from root explorer, I can set titanium backup to save to my external sdcard. It is located at EMMC so it is just another name for it. All the stuff I ever saved tonight when on Samsung Rome is still there, my music, photos, etc. What are you trying to do to access your external sdcard? Is it not recognized when it is plugged into your PC? I haven't checked that yet but in cm7 it has almost always worked from after just a few nightlies.

If your looking under /sdcard/SD then that is not where it is located. Also it is not located under /sdcard/extcard or whatever it was on Samsung Roms. It is located at /EMMC

SORRY for my confusion of what your trying to do...

I love this rom but it wont let me import contacts from my sd card and im not going to manually do 250+ people with pictures :( can you fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Just put this ROM on. It. Is. Amazing! I've been with Serendipity VII since it's release, nothing has made me switch. This changed that. It's fast. It's smooth. Oh, I installed it through Clockwork so there is no issues for anyone wondering, I was using i9000 GB Bootloaders, too. So you will be fine if you flash it with i9000 GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Just won't be able to see your external SD if you have one.

I get a FC when I try to upload a video to Youtube. Is this a Biffmod bug or a CM7 bug? I've reflashed the rom twice with the same results.
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:

[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I don't particularly think that you have the right to be demanding fixes, based on what you've given back. If you are able to merge https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_aries with https://github.com/sixstringsg/Glitch, build the kernel, hope it boots, then you will have the fix. I don't have the time, and Tk-Glitch is still recovering, so it won't get done ASAP as you demand.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Say that I want to revert to Serendipity. I tried flashing S7 in Clockwork and it didn't do anything, my phone rebooted and it was like I did a fresh flash of Biffmod, I had to go through the startup process and everything. What would I have to do to revert to Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Either odin one click, or odin with full re-partition.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Alright. Thanks. Do I need to revert to stock GB or go all the way back to Stock (Eclair)? Usually someone else does all the rooting for me but I know how to use Odin if I need to, just not sure which one I have to revert to?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It doesnt matter. As long as it repartitions you're fine.
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
Lmao who is demanding? I could care less I'm just saying I doubt anyone will want to use this if you can't access your sd card.

I'm pretty sure you can on any bootloaders beside the i9000 gb bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have biffmod working and shows the /emmc (external SD card) with no problems on my cappy with the i897 gingerbread bootloaders. I also have CM7 with the froyo/eclair bootloaders on my other cappy using the newest nightlies and emmc works with NO ISSUES.

Probably not going to revert back. Originally I was griped because it wouldn't let me watch any of my movies on my phone (they are in .wmv) but this ROM is too good. It's extremely fast and besides Serendipity, it's the only Gingerbread themed ROM. I can't do Touchwiz after using GB. But the Glitch Kernel is sweet and the stock JL3 modem gives me the best siginal I've had, better than my JK4 and KC1 modems on Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] color0:
While I've never tried the ROM mentioned in this thread, I'd like to point out that pretty much any Samsung-based Gingerbread ROM can be themed to AOSP thanks to some members on the I9000 forums:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010324

That should take that point of consideration out of view and you can evaluate ROMS based solely on performance.

I flashed this rom and everything was working perfeclty until I tried the power control widget; after switching to 2G I wasn't able to go back to 3G.

I tried Airplane mode, but things got worst, now I can't get reception anymore.

After reboot, com.android.phone keeps Force-Closing :(

Any suggestions before I try to re-flash?

Thank you.

I had this very same situation awhile back when I started playing with those setting in Power Control. After a few hours of trying to fix it, I gave up and had to reflash. This was the only time I had a problem with this great rom.

the 2g/3g toggles do work from the settings menu to my knowledge, so long press the notification bar toggle and go into the menu in order to toggle the 2g/3g state, at least for cm7 thats the case AFAIK, no convienient toggles seem to work, only the one located in settings itself

My educated guess says, yes...back to JF6. My wishful thinking says "no problem" you can flash right back.
