At least battery life is a little more predictable than GPS:D
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
of all the rom's i've tried, i find that pinnacle gets my captivate the best battery life, by far. I usually drain at least 5% per hour on standby on samsung-based roms. That number is down to about 1-2% on this rom. And ever since GB was leaked, GPS has been stable as ever for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Same battery is ridiculously good. Can't wait for 1.3!
[Captivate Android Development] :
I really like the look/feel of TW4. With the new source files available, does that fix the current problem for us and will be updated in 1.3? :D
[Captivate Android Development] tahoeski:
What OC app are you using, since I don't think there is an OC'd kernal for this yet. I am currently using Tegrak Pro, and I don't think I like my OC & UV settings. What UV are you running?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No UV, just oc. Tegrak here, too.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Loving this rom. Thanks watsa
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
Great battery

Almost 30hrs and actually using it, maybe not always intensively, but really not bad!
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
GPS is not working... Not locking even after having clear sky... Please help, I use GPS a lot...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It needs to be fixed. Funny part is I have not changed anything related to it from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
is there possible fix soon :(

else would you suggest me Apex 9.x
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I would suggest you to go back to Apex if its urgent.

I will put out a new version for pinnacle sometime today with sns fix, possible GPS fix, status bar tweaks integration, mms with timestamp fix & updated kernel.

Edit: Link between notif and call volume & hacked camera too
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
Thanks for your quick response.... I would wait and if not by the time I need, I will switch back

Thanks again.... :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
GPS was on? lol just confirming
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I'm not on ATT bootloaders, so I'll wait until Pinnacle evolves a bit :) Watsa, nice work once again!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Dialer code for Angry GPS is*#3214789650#, with GPS on at the time. Guy a couple posts up left out 8 and 9 (maybe a typo).

@watsa

Will h3llstroms GPS fix play well with this?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It might, will definitely be better than stock samsung :D
[Captivate Android Development] DanielGoff527:
GPS

Hello all,

My GPS is working great, I just opened maps while sitting in my living room and it had my location locked within 3 seconds, accurate to 30 meters. Here's how I got there:

1. Make sure GPS is turned on.

2. Open dialer and dial *#*#3214789650#*#*

3. Go to Settings, then SUPL settings.

4. Change the server to supl.google.com and the port to 7276

5. Back out to the AngryGPS menu and click "delete GPS data"

Assuming your hardware behaves the same as mine (which may or may not be the case), hopefully this will help some of you out.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I know there was a LOT of debate about bootloaders but I have to ask if anyone has confirmed if there is any definite advantage of I9000 bootloaders. The I897 KF1 bootloaders let you run any ROM - CM7, stock froyo or GB, or ported I9000 froyo or GB... I switched a while back and never plan to flash bootloaders again. That's based on the fact that I've only seen positives for I897 - no negatives at all.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
And I plan to send out another donation when I get home later today...:D Adding in customizations and fixes to a stock build with audience chip support is something I have been waiting for. I tried Cognition but it was just too stock for my tastes. I like customization options.
[Captivate Android Development] shadvich:
Just flashed over from Apex 9.1. Using Voodoo Control Plus and Tegrak Ultimate @ 1.3GHz, everything is running very smoothly and with great battery life so far. No BLN but I guess I'll just have to deal with that. Any battery percentage mods cooked yet? Thanks watsa.
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I havent flashed the ATT bootloaders either.

I just flashed the boog kernel and it still works fine for me. I am still on the i9000 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not yet. waiting for things to settle down as I continue to port mods over. meanwhile u can try UOT kitchen
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

Brother you are a true master!

Your ROMs are like a fine wine... They get better with time​

I wish I ment that, it sounded right, it's just... I'm a beer drinker;)
[Captivate Android Development] saobang3886:
dear watsa, When we have next ver 1.1? I want take a look with this rom ^^! by the way, 9.2 is best rom for me ultil now!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
The update you spoke of earlier, will it be wipe or no wipe? I was planning on flashing this later, but i'm running MIUI now, and I don't want flash now, then have a wipe update to flash later. I don't have a problem if it is a wipe, just want to plan ahead a little.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thanks bro. I know you guys like apex in vietnam :eek:

1.1 should be out sometime today
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol thanks bro. Out of thanks credit for today, so posting this
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Hello. Does anyone have a non rotating dialer?

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I do, when I disable auto rotation. Hehehe :)
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Does anyone know if there's anything special I need to do if I'm coming over from Cog 5 v2? In particular,

How do I get back to AT&T bootloader?

return to RFS

Also, anyone else come over from Cog? How does this rom compare?
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
To Return to RFS (disable lagfix):

- Reboot in recovery, goto voodoo, disable lagfix

AT&T bootloaders are in the Pinnacle Flasher file in the OP

If I were you I would:

- Disable Lagfix (Back to RFS)

- Flash AT&T bootloaders

- Flash stock KH3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233620

- Flash Kernel from Pinnacle Flasher File

- Flash Pinnacle
[Captivate Android Development] gohaha:
I moved from Cognition V5 to Pinnacle 1.2 because Cognition V5 has some memory management issue. I am very happy with the Pinnacle 1.2 except that phone reboot whenever I use heavy weight apps, like reading large graphic intensive emails, browsing internet etc. If I only use light weight apps, then my systems can last a whole day without rebooting. I am using TW4.5 I suspect the problem is still the Android's memory management, not the TW launcher. Guess both leaked Captivate 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 ROM have memory management issue. On Cognition 5 (2.3.3), the system slow down dramatically after heavy weight app usage but won't crash. On 2.3.4, system simply crashes. Hope someone can really figure out how to fix this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] xTRUEx:
try switching the launcher
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Can you flash an hsupa compatible modem on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
You would have to flash an I9000 modem for that. I9000 modems and I897 kernels don't play well together.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I think one or two modems are only available at this time. So answer is NO.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Cog 5 Doesn't have lag fix... read the how to install in the first post. I came from cog 5. I went back to stock and followed the ops directions.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yes it does. It converts to EXT4.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Yes it converts to ext4 but in its advanced settings you cannot convert back rfs so you have to either go back to stock or flash back to stock gingerbread without boot loaders.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah I know, I was just saying correcting you saying "Cog 5 doesn't have lag fix."
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Cool deal... well worth the work going to Pinnacle. :)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] hitchb:
Agreed. TW 4.5 has known crash issues on KH3. I switched to Launcher Pro and haven't had a reboot since.
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I love this ROM. Definitely the most stable for me.

I have one problem that I'm not sure is ROM related. My screen backlight keeps coming on and off. Seems like BLN is on but I haven't installed it in the past few ROMs. Is there a way that those type settings are still set and I can't remove them? I've flashed back to stock and back to P1.2 and still have the problem. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am confused. You mean buttons light up when you touch the screen?
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Nope. Example...press power button to turn off screen. set te phone down. suddenly, screen lights up showing the lock screen. it stays on for seconds to minutes, then off again. A few moments later, the screen backlight comes on again. this repeats over and over. i try ti reboot and pull battery but still happens. some times it will go lomg periods with doing it but then it starts up again. not sure if the buttons light up also but mostly notice the backlight woth lockscreen showing
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
What I did to install this from Cog5 was that I followed the Cognition5 directions until I got to the Step 3 part, at which point I just flashed Pinnacle instead.

I think that way might be easiest.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
I did everything the OP said to do. Worked like a charm. There is no way to disable the lag fix on cog. Just redo the whole process, its worth it, you won't have weird random problems.

So far I an very happy with this ROM. Cog had too many problems, mainly the charge bug when turned off and what really posed me of the most was the Android OS stated sucking up battery randomly! I would lose 10% in 1 hour! Also cog doesn't have much support anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
Is there a way I can install and use the old android market with Pinnacle 1.2? In other words can anybody point me to a vending.apk that works with this ROM (old version with which the likes of Market Access and Market Enabler work)?
[Captivate Android Development] exonix:
Samsung Home Launcher constantly rebooting

First time posting on this forum but been lurking for months.

Anywho, I flashed Pinnacle 1.2 and I'm using the Samsung Home Launcher which seems to be using TouchWiz 4 (TW4) anywho, this thing causes forced reboots like crazy.

It mainly happens whenever I try to move an Icon via long press to a different location, it can be any icon, I will long press and boom, the phone resets. Is there any known fix for this issue?

Aside from that this mod is sweet, I'm loving it.

*** it seems that the root problem the rebooting where my 1.4 overclock settings, ill check back after some more use and comment ***
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
just enable boot emultation
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
I know it's been said a thousand times but seriously Watsa, thank you so much for this awesome ROM.

Best most stable and speedy ROM I've ever used. I hate to insult you with what I'm about to say but I find this is even smoother than Apex. I used that for half a day and was disappointed by how laggy(yes even with EXT4 enabled) it was in comparison to this.

Please don't hurt me! haha
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Watsa,

Will the new version of the Arc launcher, that's in Apex 10, work in pinnacle?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Tried new Apex yet? :( for Apex and :) for pinnacle
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Arc launcher is same. If you mean new TW4 then I havent tested it yet but I am sure it will not work
[Captivate Android Development] nm131:
when will the next pinnacle arrive (migrating from wifi issue on apex10<<samsung jvs's fault)

I would love to have TW4 stable on this perfect rom:")
[Captivate Android Development] jsfLip:
To go back to Pinnacle from Apex 10, do I just go into CWM (>Voodoo>disable lagfix then /select lagfix off) then just flash Pinnacle? Do I need to wipe anything?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Yes

For second, I would advise you to.
[Captivate Android Development] adicool:
Well ,i have been using this for 3 days now and here is my feedback and my problems:

What i liked:

1.The rom is very stable

2.Nice theming

3.Loved the USB tethering option

4.Loved the ability to have the backgound in the application menu

5.The downloads app managed my downloads really well.

What i didnt like:

1.The messaging and call force close the first time i open them i need to open them twice to get it working

2.Battery life was fairly around 22 hrs

The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages....

Thanks a lot for the rom watsa
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Every time you boot? Which launcher are you using? I had one force close in messaging the first time I used it after restoring all my SMS, but none since.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Agreed mms and dialer FC has something to do with restore.. works fine on stock pinnacle
[Captivate Android Development] jsfLip:
So wipe cache partition and dalvik cache?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You never need to wipe caches and data before flashing a ROM. If a ROM is asking you to do it then dont even use that ROM.

All you need is to make sure that you have GB bootloaders and lagfix disabled
[Captivate Android Development] :
Really? I always clear cache/dalvik before flashing a rom, kernel or modem. Modems especially... with my phone at least, because if I dont then my phone seems to drop cell signal and wifi all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I can talk about a ROM. Every rom script should take care of clearing all of these out. But then with modems/kernels/themes you never know.

For kernels I know existz scripts clear all what is needed but not all scripts would do it.

For theme Froli' MB clears al what is needed, but not all of them do it
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Kernel cleaning scripts, right here. Get'em while there hot.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ah, that makes since. I didnt realize that roms usually have a script that auto cleared those for us. Thanks for the tip.
[Captivate Android Development] adicool:
Not even every time i boot like every 3 hrs or so it randomly happens....:(

I am using built in samsung home launcher that came along with the rom
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Try one of the other launchers, report back if it keeps happening.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thats your problem (known issue with 1.2 build). Switch to Go Launcher EX... it will change your life.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Tw4 might cause reboots, but no force closes... I think TiBU is the culprit here
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
No haven't tried 10, I prefer Captivate based ROMs anyway plus the fact that this is faster even on RFS has me sold.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If it is faster on RFS then credit samsung for it not me. Try Apex 10, it has decent speed with EXT4 :p
[Captivate Android Development] :
Hey watsa, I think my post got buried in all the awesomeness that is wrapped up in this thread. What do you think ^^ ?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I will take a look. However those files are only to make sure that new TW4 from 2.3.4 works on our phones without FC. It is not going to fix reboot issues with TW4
[Captivate Android Development] PizzaAmerican23:
I just want to be sure I'm following directions, and flashing the right way. I've had a lot of bugs and battery problems in the past, so critique what I'm doing, and if there's a problem let me know.

My phone is batch 1105 btw.

So first what I'm going to do is flash back to stock JF6. I use my usb jig to put in download mode, and then use Odin one click to go back to jf6. I also delete everything off the sd before I do this, just to make sure nothing on the SD will affect the flash.

then I'm going to put pinnacle 1.2 on my sd card.

next ill put in download mode again with my jig, open odin, and flash 1 - bootloaders

next ill put in download mode again with my jog, and flash the 2 - kernel (going to use the one provided with the rom for now, is a different kernel better for battery life/oc/uv?) I also would like a kernel that would allow me to make the screen super dim (I know glitch isn't compatible, but it would let me go really dim, is there something like it?)

then I'll use the key combo to boot into cwm and flash the pinnacle rom. No need to wipe cache, format data, etc. right?

From here I think I should be all set. I will then put just the apps I need on my phone, and hopefully ill get better than 10 hours of battery life per charge.

Those apps are:

adobe reader

beautiful widgets

colornote

docs 2 go

google voice

maps

pandora

screenshot

titanium backup

zeam launcher

-------

does this all look ok? Fingers crossed. Either that of ATT better release the SGS2 asap!!!
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
You don't need a jig every time you want to go to download mode. Press and hold volume low+up button (while it off) and insert USB cable, this should have your phone enter in download mode.

Boog's kernel is the only kernel which works with Pinnacle or anyother KH3 based ROM. There have been no source for this leak so no further development on kernel. You can install Screen Filter app if you want your screen to dim any further.

ROM will take care of wiping data, cache etc.

After the flash, drain your battery fully (let the phone shuts off) on first use and then charge it to full 100%. Give it a few charge cycle, you will get more than 10 hours. I get close to 24 hours on moderate use of phone (WiFi, data always on).

Try not to restore data using TiBu for better experience with ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
haha okay, I'll give it a spin tonight. It better be awesome, or else... :p
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I'd say try not to restore SYSTEM data with Tibu, otherwise what's the point of using TiBu then?
[Captivate Android Development] oldhouseye:
Nice ROM

2nd day with this ROM now. Feeling good.

I do have the infamous "Navigator V.S. Music Player" problem, which I think is not the ROM's bug, but Google's. What happens is when you are using Navigation and playing music in the background, after Navigator gives the voice instructions, the music play stops and never resume. It feels like the music playing thread got killed somehow.

So far, the 4 players I've tried, only MortPlayer seem getting along with navigator fairly nicely. The other 3 (DoubleTwist, Stock, and MIUI) all have the same problem.

I found 2 open issues that were submitted to google on this:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9569

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10465

If anyone are having the same problem, could you please follow the links above and "star" them, to give them a "boost"?
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
it's annoying how often the launcher is close out of the RAM
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Yeah I am using the Sony one and sometimes it have to restart when going back home. I had the same issue on Cog5v2 with stock TW.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Using TW4?
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Launcher Pro Plus. Have gotten used to the widgets & the five rows. Can't give them up
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
+1 for mort. Days 3 and 4 will be even better :)
[Captivate Android Development] Crash:
Watsa,

The TW version on Pinnacle is the same that JVS ?

Im testing Pinnacle right now :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope its different
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
What about seemingly inoffensive system data like "System Service useful data" denoted in green by TiBu? It's stuff like Accounts, Bluetooth Pairings, WIFI access points, etc... surely restoring that system data couldn't hurt?
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
That's all I restore out of the System Data and I can confirm it has never hurt, just don't restore the rest of the System Data.

Pb3 GPS fix for GB

Hi Watsa.

I noticed in APEX 10 thread that you added Pb3 GPS fix for GB.

Is this something that would be useful or do you plan to add to Pinnacle?
[Captivate Android Development] Moxie3000:
Calls insta-dropped when answering from within an app

Hi all,

First of all, kudos to Watsa on a great ROM! The ROM has been mostly trouble-free except for a few points. First, the most irritating of them all:

- If I'm in an app, like XDA Developers or Words with Friends, and a call comes through, it is insta-dropped. I get the lock screen so I can try to slide to answer, but it never picks up the phone. Instead, the call is just dropped. Now that I'm no longer in the app, however, if the caller retried, I could pick it up without a problem. Likewise, I can always call the person back without issue. This *appears* to be consistent -- if I'm in an app, the incoming call will instantly drop upon swiping to answer. My signal levels are generally good - not great, but good enough.

- Related, but possibly might just be AT&Ts issues -- ever since Pinnacle, I've been suffering acutely from dropped calls. I had no less than 3 drops within a 30-minute time period.

- Finally, and possibly obliquely related -- My battery life is nowhere near as good as what's been reported here. It is, however, measurably better than CM7 (which is where I came from). Under CM7, I averaged between 12-14 hours before needing to charge. On a good day, I'd hit 16. KH3/Pinnacle gives me a minimum of 14 hours, averaging 16, with an unknown peak since I've never let the battery go completely dead. Under good circumstances, the phone is well-behaved while idle. Assuming no runaway processes or some silly crap like that. The huge drain for me is making phone calls, no matter where I go. Phone calls drain about 1/2 percent a MINUTE. This means that on a heavy usage day, I'll get maybe 60 minutes of actual talk time with about 2 hours of screen-on time. That will nearly kill the battery at the end of 14 hours. I've tried calibrating it using the calibration app and that seemed to help a little. Do I actually need to go through a full charge/drain cycle first? Or to put it bluntly -- how in the world do I get these fantastic 24-30 hour times people are posting???
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its in beta right now, so I will just wait for it.. Howver I have seen good results with nexus s GPS fix that I posted there
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
I use Launcher Pro Plus and it never swaps out. I think it depends on what other apps and services are running. I have uninstalled or frozen a ton of crapware or otherwise useless apps and services and I think that helps with memory management.

SystemPanel is a great app for determining what is in memory and selectively killing apps or services or deciding what to freeze in TIBU.
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
When is the next pinnacle update??
[Captivate Android Development] exonix:
Actually it seems to not be an overclock issue since I went back to stock settings and its still happening. Phobe reboots on long clicks to move or trash an an icon before it even lets me do anything... I basically long click, it vibrates them boom, reboot. It also happens when clicking from the apps screen to move it onto the home screen. Its happening pretty often now and getting quite annoying, im using the 'samsung home' which I believe has touchwiz 4. Any ideas anyone? Also reboots after launching google navigation or other memory intensive apps
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
TW4 seems unstable on KH3 for now. Try and use other launcher than TW4
