change boot animation

Hey, been searching everywhere and I can't figure out if it's possible to change the boot animation with Pinnacle or with I897UCKH3...

It appears bootsamsung.qmg are the boot animation files or something? If I remove those will it try to grab sanim.zip or some other file to use as the boot animation?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Last I checked it wasn't possible to add bootanimation to boog' kernel. I think now he/johnsondr80 have fixed it, so u may need latest kernel before trying to add boot ani
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Yes boog's latest kernel now supports boot animations
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I know this is OT, but I just don't get the fascination with boot animations. I never even see them unless I'm looking for them. I hit the button to power up and usually set the the phone down or put it in my pocket. Some people almost view them as a feature. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they took them away if it made the phone boot faster.
[Captivate Android Development] Frontier3:
I this a new version of the UCK3 kernel or a totally new one? Can I flash it with my pinnacle 1.3mod or will that break things? Or will this new version possibly be used in the next version of pinnacle?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] deaddigitalangel:
I was running cyanogenmod 7.1. I have clockwordmod v4.0.0.5. I put pinnacle on my sd and ran install from sd and now it is stuck in a boot loop. What am I doing wrong? :confused: I've tried installing pinnacle many times now.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
You need to go to download mode and flash stock KH3 since CM has think re partitions and might be using different bootloaders and whatever funkyness.

Best to odin KH3 and then boog kernel and then pinnacle.

There is a version of KH3 with the kernel and no bootloaders but you mean need the right bootloaders for i897 instead of i9000 not sure what CM uses.

Hello - Since moving from Cog5 v2 to Pinaccle 1.2 my Microsoft exchange stopped working. I am now in Pinaccle 1.3 and still have issues. Getting FC every time I open it. I did a TiBackup and restored it but no luck. It was working perfectly with Cog5 V2. Do you have any idea on what else to do? Reflash Pinnacle 1.2 for a full wipe again? I prefer not to since I have all my setting the way I want. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] godpancho:
Hey watsa is ext4 coming to pinnacle similar to the cognition rom.that would be tits

Try going into recovery and clearing the cache. You may have to go into settings, applications. all and clearing the email app cache there.

That will be from the kernel. I believe Boog needs source to work that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
While i LOVE Apex....im thinking about checkin this out...any blue themes and can someone post what their normal data speeds are like? download speeds really matter to me ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Jmm96:
Hi everyone - I'm currently running Cognition 3.04 on AT&T and really want to step up to Pinnacle. However I must admit I'm completely confused as to how to go about this. I've been reading a lot the last couple days and the bootloaders really have me perplexed. Do I need to go all the way back to JH6 and start from there?

I'm hoping someone can point me to some helpful instructions or give me the steps to make this jump to Pinnacle. Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] :
Hi there, and welcome to Pinnacle... good choice for your Captivate.

First thing you're going to need are Gingerbread bootloaders for your phone. Go here and follow the steps. Make sure to read the whole First Post, the instructions and follow them. If you get stuck or have a problem, continue to read that thread because more than likely, there will be a fix or a way around for the problem you're experiencing.

Got the AT&T bootloaders on your phone now? Awesome, on to the next step. that would be this tool in this thread. This will take you to stock KH3 and give you the correct kernel that you need. The same rules apply as in the last paragraph... read the first post and do exactly what it says. This only takes a few minutes.

Now that you have Stock KH3 and the correct kernel with CWM injected into it, now is the time to take Pinnacle 1.2 (and 1.3 update) and place it on your phone. You want to reboot into recovery mode and then flash Pinnacle 1.2 (takes about 3-4 minutes) and then let it restart and boot all the way back up. Now reboot back into recovery one more time and flash Pinnacle 1.3 update (this only takes about 30 seconds to a minute) and then restart.

Also, make sure that you have your USB cable plugged into a good USB port, preferably one closest to your motherboard (not a USB hub or a USB port off of your monitor). As long as you follow the steps in both threads that I pointed you to, and do them in the correct order, you should be good to go.

As always, if you have problems, questions or concerns, please feel free to post them here... everyone here is really helpful and knowledgeable.

Good luck!

Just installed this on my Captivate. Liking it so far, very quick. Is there an ETA as to when the lock screens will be fully implemented?

Red5- This could be the OP install instructions for All the Cappy ROMs which came out n the last 3 weeks.

Excellent.
[Captivate Android Development] Jmm96:
I can't thank you enough Red5. Your friendly response was a huge help. I'm going to work through this upgrade to Pinnacle this weekend and will let you know how it turns out. I'm looking forward to this upgrade on my Captivate. Thank You again!
[Captivate Android Development] JRock80:
Watsa,

Will Pinnacle eventually updated to KI2 with all your custom mods? Your previous grueling pace means that we won't be waiting long. Hope I am right!

Sent from my Pinnacled Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
If download speeds are important, then KH3 is not for you. Only 3G and relatively slower speeds.

The new stock KI2 (although stock) fixes this with H+...and great speeds. But if you get on watsa's Pinnacle 1.2 the going to KI2 (remember all stock) is a breeze using CWM and zip.

Good luck..

EDIT: I may plan to stay on KI2 for a little while, even though stock, for the much faster network speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
so what you are saying is that the new KI2 doesnt have a capped modem like the kh3 does
[Captivate Android Development] :
Its still capped, but instead of saying "3G" it says "H+" so more than likely its a leftover image from when they were working on the Infuse rom.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Thanks guys, it didnt take me long to write that up and I feel bad for the new guys having to dig through thousands of posts just for wanting an awesome experience on the phone. I cant stand the "read first and search the forums" responses, it pisses me off. It took me an extra 3 minutes to write up a step-by-step and probably saved him hours of searching. This forum is about helping people, not an e-pissing contest, so I wanted to help. Thanks for the kind compliments.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

You're welcome. Have fun flashing this weekend, Pinnacle is an awesome experience on your Captivate. Hope all goes well... and if not, you know where to come to.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Red5, very nice post im sure it will help alot of beginners. Pinnacle is an awsome rom with superb battery life. I have been testing it with the new I897UCKI2 modem and its been working great so far.

thanks wgarrido :)

I'm still have issues, I can't seem to get clockworkmod off and when I try to use ODIN it doesn't see my phone (I'm assuming because of clockwork). Any help would greatly be appreciated since I'm kinda without a phone now. >.< doh
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
how are you connecting to ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
Coming from cm7 you need either Odin or heimdall and need to check the repartition option when flashing.

If you are going to use heimdall make sure you have heimdall version 1.31 or are running heimdall on a Linux box. Earlier versions of heimdall have a repartitioning problem on windows machines.
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Hey guys you can stay on pinnacle and test ki1 and KI2 modems; zips were added to ficeto's modem page couple of days a go ...I posted the link a few pages back
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
Did that already. There is no immediate problem that I found. The CWM versions worked flawlessly for flashing. But I still get 3G for network (isn't that modem dependent?). GPS was very good still. Although, with pinnacle KE3 gives me very good accuracy.

(I missed many of Pinnacle's tweaks so came back to Pinnacle from stock KI2)
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
I did the same thing. I tried the leak all day yesterday but I did find that the GPS was not as good and I missed some of the other tweaks.

I am back to Pinnacle now. I really did not see any advantage of KI2 over KH3 anyway. KH3 does what I need my phone to do.
[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
I searched the forum but found no real answer to this so here goes (again)...why can't I delete the APN settings? the one the phone provides for Rogers is wrong and is causing issues with the correct one that i've added. I just wanna wipe out the default ones.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Same here. The data speeds were the same and the battery life wasn't nearly as good.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
^ Definitely agree with speed and battery comments.
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
Just installed this Rom and like it a lot.

I know the kh3 modem is slow but is anyone else experiencing SLOW WIFI speeds?

I know the captivate's wifi isn't that great but I just speedtested @ 1.3 Mb , not good.

Anyone know how to increase that?
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I haven't had any issues with WiFi. Have you tired resetting your WiFi router? You might also have a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] rjc127:
Using Speedtest app and closest server using wifi

Wife's iPhone 4

Very close results but Cap wins in my wifi case! :-)

Not sure if you have another phone to compare to for a baseline.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
What do you get on data network speeds? I get mid 4's down and 1.somethin up

Ping 225 Down 2.81 Up .33

Wife wins in the data case - but should be no surprise when running a true Capped Tivate modem - uploads are hampered for sure when compared to the iPhone or i9000 base. Not sure if there are tweaks/settings to improve on a Captivate modem.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
"capped ivate" I love this when talking about the i897 roms, lol
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
I got 4 hours 29 minutes of screen on time with my last battery charge. Pinnacle is by far the best battery life I have gotten on any GB rom. Excellent work watsa.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Hi All,

In an amazing turn around of events I ended up selling my captivate, Atrix and a couple other phones. The good part is I have some money now :) but I am finding it hard to believe that I will be away from Apex/Pinnacle.

It was fun to work on them as a rom dev. I got to learn so much about android and rom deving. I always admired talent of DaGr8 and perfection of Cezar'. While DaGr8 always brought new features for our captivate cezar' always strived for perfection. They were both my gurus :)

I would still say that DaGr8 is the best dev around for captivate and I9000 and he should be given the credit he deserves for his hard work.

See you all on the SGS II side and thanks for supporting an Idiot like me :)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Thanks for all you do/have done. Eventually I may get a SGS II so at least I know there will be a ROM I can enjoy and a DEV who will help!!

Fare winds and following seas.....
[Captivate Android Development] Ruddy64:
Does that mean there will be no more updates for pinnacle?
[Captivate Android Development] Geezer000:
Uh......yes.....
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
A better question would be if anyone was taking over Pinnacle.

I have seen DAGr8 taking an interest in the stock cappy ROM releases. Hope it means something more than just mere curiosity :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
You will be sorely missed my friend. good luck on your next endeavor with the SGS II. maybe I'll see you on the other side
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am not running away from forum. I will still be around :)
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Many thanks Watsa. Between pinnacle and the ki2 modem my phone has NEVER been better. Definitely agree with u on the dagr8. He's broken crazy ground for us. Take care and good luck in the future.

[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Watsa, Thank you for everything you've done for the captivate community. You've made the phone much more enjoyable compared to stock. Absolutely better in all aspects. You will be missed in the Cappy forurms(although I know you still be hanging in these parts :)

For me, You've been the best, most reliable, most willing to help dev around here. For that, I say, THANK YOU!

I'll be picking up my SGS II tomorrow, I'm sure I'll see you there :)
[Captivate Android Development] lviseth:
I have a really ugly bug I think..

When I set my phone on "ring" and vibration to "never", I still get the vibration. It bugs me so much!! :[ The vibration only goes away when I set the phone on silent.. And it seems that to only change my notification sound, I have to restart the phone after setting the new sound.

HELP?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
You have to stop the vibrate in the email or messaging programs also. When does it vibrate? Phone call, email, messaging?
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
This is really upsetting news to hear, thank you so much watsa for all your hard work and making to best ROM for the captivate ever, pinnacle. You just had to bail before finishing the lock screen mods haha just kidding you will be sorely missed

Currently Pinnacle 1.3 and have never been happier

[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
I'm also sad but thank you so much Watsa for all your hard work. There aren't a lot of devs who responded and had as much patience as you so you will definitely be missed.

Might have to invest in a Galaxy S II sooner than expected.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Thanks Watsa. My next donation will go to you.

I had a question for the community. Is it just me or when going to the homescreen in launcher pro causes a complete reboot?

Every time I go to the Launcher Pro homescreen it takes about 5 to 8 seconds to load all my widgets. It feels like Launcher Pro was completely reset. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Dammit. Well I count be happier with my Captivate now (except for the lockscreens, but I have a feeling somebody will fix that for us). My contract is up in the middle of next month, so I guess thats when I will get the GS2... or the Prime, whichever one works better for me.

Watsa, thanks for making my Captivate run like it should have out of the box! Its nice to have the audience chip work (Captivate rom) while run smooth and reliable. Ill probably buy the SG2 and then sell my Captivate after I get it. Having Pinnacle on it should make the phone sell fast. Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Red, I was a fan when u made that killer response about installing pinnacle...u might have just lost me on a ROM making a phone more sellable. Whatever, sgs2= overrated
[Captivate Android Development] :
IDK, you tell me whats more likely to sell a phone at a higher price... Show somebody the Captivate with it running stock AT&T rom and have it lag while they are trying to use it and saying "The iPhone is smoother" or having Pinnacle on it and have the Captivate be extremely smooth and responsive. Which senerio gives you a better chance of selling the phone?

So thats why having Pinnacle on the Captivate will make the phone more sellable.
[Captivate Android Development] godpancho:
pinnacle will not help you sell the captivate for more.or faster(no custom rom will add a value greater than 20$)I have been trying to sell my captivate for 6 months now (unlocked with gingerbread custom rom).the most anybody will offer will be $150 or lower.this phone is a great smartphone but no longer has a great value to it.

As sad as it may be to say the captivate is dead! We now must move on.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Just sold my Captivate for $225. :D

I put it on Craigslist with pictures. It looked brand new (no scratches). Just met some guy at the BestBuy parking lot and let him check it out... got $225 for it. Im happy.

See ya guys in the AT&T GS2 Forums.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Guy sounds like a dope but good for u. He could have went into the store and got a better deal, So what's your next move?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
getting a captivate already rooted and loaded with a custom rom (off contract) is much easier than going to a store. Even with the SGS2 release, I would expect Captivates to go for around $150+, as long as its rooted because there are a LOT of people that dont know how to do that and would rather spend the cash to have it done for them right off the bat
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
yes I can see both sides in this argument but I think most people would rather have a stock phone that way they can learn how to do all the rooting and stuff in case something goes wrong with the current ROM they will know how to fix it and be able to upgrade the roms for better features but that's just how I look at it and some other may just want to pay extra for a pre hacked phone

Currently Pinnacle 1.3 and have never been happier
[Captivate Android Development] ckoolmike:
need help

I was on rogers stock 2.1 and tried to install this ROM and now i just get the "I896 black screen with the SAMSUNG sign below" It just sits there after i flashed it using CWM.

Can any help me get back to either download mode or let me know what i can do? I can't even use the phone anymore...did i brick it?

thanks in advance guys
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Did you flash the gingerbread bootloaders first? If not just pull the battery and the put it back in and hold volume up and volume down and plug in the USB while its connected to the computer and make sure you have Odin open first that should get you in download mode again

Brother... It's been awesome working with u on Captivate.. (thanks for all the help).. Now enjoy ur new Phone. :P We will keep in touch.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
My advice for anyone flashing their phone is to GET A JIG! A jig has saved my ass so many times when 3 button fails and I need to flash back to stock to start over. Don't know what I'd do without it. If you didn't flash GB bootloaders I would try and get into DL mode and flash back to stock then flash AT&T GB bootloaders then a compatible kernel with CWM and then the ROM and you should be good to go. If you're unsure go to mobiletechvideos.com and watch the tutorial on flashing GB ROMs.

Edit: follow the instructions in the Pinnacle flasher zip too!

[Captivate Android Development] ckoolmike:
No i didn't flash gingerbread bootloaders..can you help me with that? Do i do need to get the gingerbread bootloaders first? I used UrsaMinor to flash PTT..if that makes any sense. I'm not even sure if that was a correct move.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

first...what is a jig? secondly - 3 button is FAILING me and i cant do anything right now. I'll follow your suggestions regarding flashing the GB bootloaders (where can i find that?) and doing your steps but in the meantime, how can i get back into DL mode?
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Seriously... download the Pinnacle flasher zip. The AT&T GB bootloaders are included in it and read the readme file too.

Sent from an Apex powered SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Well a jig would force your phone into DL mode regardless. Google it. Do u have the Android SDK package on your PC? Well if u do you can open a command prompt pointed at your phone and type 'adb reboot download' and it will reboot your phone in DL mode.
