I made the jump to Saurom and it's amazing except some of the dialer debug codes don't work which sucks because I can't apply the Touckey Firmware update to fix the Home/Back key bug that some captivates have.

:(
[Captivate Android Development] crandy2:
I'm using 3.01 with 6.03 corn kernel, and the latest Thunderbolt tweaks. Been running about a month now, and it has been rock solid for me. I use the 60LMK option, good speed and battery life.

There haven't been any firmware leaks from Samsung since kk4 in November. I don't think we will see much more on the way of gingerbread releases, unless that changes. Maybe some CM9 variants.
[Captivate Android Development] mattsternc:
Is there anything special you had to do to apply the latest Thunderbolt tweaks? I flashed the Corn 6.03 kernel and while it is more stable than the included Samurai kernel, the phone slows down over time until eventually I either have to reboot it or pull the battery because it is frozen.

It's getting a little frustrating now, as I came from a rock solid Froyo to this :( Don't get me wrong, I love this ROM but I need the stability more than anything right now. I am using the plus version of Launcher PRO, which I am wondering if that might be some of the problem.

Here's exactly how I got to this ROM.

- Cleared data (factory reset)

- Reflashed with ROM that had GB bootloaders (whatever one is mentioned on this ROM's webpagE)

- Used ODIN to flash this ROM

- Applied the 3.01 update via CWM

- Flashed to the Corn 6.03 kernel

Does anyone see any flaws in how I got here? I haven't modified any files, etc. as I was unsure if any of that was needed.

Thanks for any help provided! I just want my phone to be stable again! :D

I would suggest trying a different launcher and see what results u get.

[Captivate Android Development] crandy2:
Yeah. I use ADW EX now, before that I just used touchwiz. Also, you could try running the sql lite optimiser script that is included with Thunderbolt. I run it every week or so, and it seems to help a little.
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
True love.

I'm loving this Rom at the moment. Only thing is I had to use the Timestamp fix but its a small price to pay for such a great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] JigsterNL:
Is there any kernel for this ROM available that supports BLN Control?
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I have somehow lost root..

I converted all my system folders to EXT4 and upon rebooting I found that I do not have Superuser permissions anymore.

What can I do to get them back?

EDIT: Got it nevermind. Just reinstalled from recovery.

I don't believe so. I did some research on this a while back as I was interested in this as well but it seems only the i9000 sources support this as of now. Could someone offer clarification?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:

this is the only stable rom that work with my phone

Thx for all your Hard Work :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
As of right now I don't believe there are any kernels (only one I can think of that might is Cream Corn, but I don't know what's going on with it) with BLN support. Jsmokey and I have been trying to compile kernels from the KK4 source but they won't boot. Jsmokey has been in contact with Samsung about this issue and we're waiting for further insight as to what may be causing it. Or rather what's causing the kernel to not see the different partitions/devices/whatever you want to call them. At least the Voodoo init log displays errors when trying to mount /system, /data, /cache, /dbdata, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
I'm not seeing my battery stats update correctly. In About Phone -> Battery Use it's stuck at 100%. If you select the battery graph, all listed categories are solid color (phone signal, wi-fi, awake, screen on).

Any idea what's going on there?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
?? Maybe a bad flash. Probably a reflash of the Rom would be good. Wipe dalvik cache and cache before the reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
That did the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
LOVE IT

A couple days of use and my battery life is already better than Cyanogen mod, it's WAY more stable, AND I LOVE IT. THAT IS ALL. BUT I JUST NERDED ON THE FLOOR.:o

[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
I've been getting great battery so far, first day. I'm using the included kernel and setcpu with a screen off profile.

[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Yeaa, I think I'll pass. Once I learned how to flash a custom ROM, I couldn't see a reason to rely on ATT to have my phone up to-date. I could have ICS in my phone if I wanted to.
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
I'm also happy with what the great devs here put out... but wouldn't it be better to use this release as a base? Developers can remove the bloat and add all their teaks on a base that has probably gone through some rigorous QA by Samsung and AT&T. It should be more stable than the leaks.

Quick questions... is the official release KK4 or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Unfortunately yes, it's KK4.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Why unfortunately? There's really nothing mors stable then KK4 GB.

ICS will probably not make it to I897:(

I beg to differ, but that's just me.

I wonder what's different between the leaked KK4 and the official KK4 other then the build date (according to the screenshot on the linked page and the build.prop from the leaked KK4).

*edit*

The leaked KK4 build.prop displays a build date of 17 Nov while the official KK4 upgrading screen shot on the linked page shows a build date of 22 Nov for those interested.

Phone issue

gotta give props to the rom creator! batt life is amazing and one of the most stable rom currently in the market!

I have an issue whenever i go to phone button from home and press 'send' or 'log' it takes me back to home screen. Anyone have this issue?, or know a phone apk i can re-flash?

thanks!! in advance!

[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Saurom JVZ, Sbamboo, Apex, Saurom Kk4....I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two. This was mainly a i9000 pilgrimage, wondering if I could find one that lasted over 12 hrs with moderate use, but I was unsuccessful. As far as Saurom kk4, I liked JVZ so much, I wanted to try the kk4 version.

Can't say anything bad about the roms, the devs can only do so much as far as battery life is concerned. But when I go native, I go Illuminance
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
I may flash the official just to see if this is the case. Because to me kk4 is kk4 or else it would be kk5 or 6...

Imho.

I posted this in the Illuminance Q&A earlier, hoping to get some input/confirmation.

Thanks if anyone can comment if it sounds like the best direction.

I haven't flashed a rom in a while, still on Cezar's Continuum 4.0 (Froyo)

I see the installation instructions on the website, but wanted to confirm (sorry for the newbie question)

As the 2 installation options are either already on KJ3 rom, or coming from CM7/Miui, presuming for me (btw, my build is 1007) it should be:

1)Use Odin to flash back to Stock JF6 (via Odin3 one click?)

2)flash UCKJ3 Stock ROM with bootloaders (unpack the .rar, and use Odin?)

3)Flash Boog's KJ3 Kernel to get CWM

4)Place Illuminance_v3.0 on sdcard, use 3 button combo to reboot into recovery

5)Wipe data & cache (presuming via the option in CWM) and install ZIP

6)update to 3.0.1

Presuming as I'm flashing back to stock, and a full wipe rom, no need to worry about disabling lagfix, ext4, etc.

Thanks for any help/confirmation, just want to avoid any type of bricking :)
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Looks like the clean install, so that will do it for ya.

Sent by XDA Premium App
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks for confirming my direction sounds correct. Will do it that way.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I thought I knew, but now I'm not sure - what are the pros and cons of going native vs i9000?
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
About to flash back to stock from 2.2 to JF6

On Illuminated's page "Stock Roms, One Clicks", he has both Designgear's one click, which I've used before, says "with bootloaders" and Cezars/Illuminated's one click "without bootloaders"

Guessing as I haven't yet installed GB bootloaders it doesn't matter?

Sorry if it's a redundant question :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Go with Cezar's NO Bootloaders JF6 (Link 1).

Always safer when not flashing bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
So has anyone heard from Illuminated? I'm just curious, I know he was doing finals and such for graduation but that should be done now i'd think? Not even a peep in quite awhile now :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Nope.

He may just be busy with life. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. Had some problems with my computer accepting Cezar's, so went with DG's, back on JF6 now.

Another noob question, had only used Odin to go back to JF6, as I was still on 2.2 -to go now to KJ3 with Odin, a "new" Odin will open up when I unpack the KJ3 rar?

Thanks

Edit: figured it out ;)

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

OK, all is going well with installation:)

Final question, luckily I know how to install the rom, mods, etc (zips) from the sd card once I have CWM, but first time installing a kernel (installing Boogs kernel) so that I'll have CWM

Is the Odin I want for that Odin3 v1.7.zip? click the PDA button, and it will allow me to select the .tar I want? In this case boog kj3

Thanks very much :)

Or Odin3 v1.81.zip (guessing either, or the latter is applicable?)
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Yep. That is correct.

.tar file kernel goes in the PDA slot of Odin (3 v1.81 is good).
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thank you :)

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

All seemed to go well, via CWM chose illuminance 3.0, it showed the list of what it was doing, credits, installing kernel, etc., but now just have the AT&T screen. Is that a boot loop? Did everything, wiped data and cache first. :confused:

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
If it is just stuck on that screen, that is not a bootloop. Sometimes it just takes a while to boot up. If it doesn't boot up after 5 minutes then use the button combo to reboot into cwm and then wipe dalvik cache and reflash the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. Was wondering if it just needed more time, was a few minutes. Was on the AT&T splash screen, then about every 10 seconds would flash black for a second, return to AT&T screen, pulled battery, tried again was still AT&T screen. Will give it some more time, then try wiping dalvik cache and reflash. Thanks.

Edit: wiped dalvik cache, reinstalled zip, said complete, Thank you for installing Illuminance, your phone will now reboot, but didn't, so I chose reboot, on AT&T screen now, will give it 5 minutes again. Any suggestions to do if it doesn't boot up?

Thanks

Luckily can get back to recovery via button combo.

Wondering what to try next

Btw, in Samurai recovery v5.0.2.6 (presume that is what it should be?)
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
The KJ3 that u flashed should have been the one with Bootloaders...is that the one u used, because u need the gingerbread bootloaders to run a gingerbread rom.

If u did do that then ?? Maybe try wipe data/factory reset again and then reflash.

Yep. Samurai is the correct recovery for Illuminance 3.0

edit: One other thing that it may be... It could have been a bad download. If it doesn't work after what I suggested above, then redownload a fresh copy (delete the other download off of your pc). Sometimes downloads go bad.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Yes, just looked at the file again: I897UCKJ3_withBL

just did data/factory reset, will reflash again :confused:

Thanks

Re-installed, in recovery on screen that says: Illuminance installation complete! your phone will now reboot, though like last time not rebooting on it's own.

I noticed, though I did factory reset at the start, when I put the Illuminance zip on the sd there was still previous stuff on there. Presuming that shouldn't affect it.

Guessing I should select to manually reboot, as it isn't on it's own?

Manually selected reboot, back on AT&T screen (flashes black for a second every 10 seconds like before) -wondering if it should need 5 minutes again? Did everything to the letter, as best I can tell. Thanks

Edit: as it's not a boot loop, not bricked, don't know what might have gone wrong, have wiped dalvik, reset, and reinstalled zip a few times now, still on AT&T splash screen.

Wondering what to try next

Edit: it is the 3.0, shows it going through all the steps, as it installs.

What's the best way to access the sd card (to delete and replace the zip?) I see in recovery an option: mounts and storage, will that give me access?

Thanks

Or if I connect it to the PC while in recovery will it allow me access to the sd?

Ok, thanks much for helping!
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Yep select to reboot. And other stuff on you internal sd is ok. Factory reset will just wipe data and wipe cache.

edited to add to my previous post...(about the redownload)

That's bootlooping. Don't know what the deal is, unless a bad download. So I guess try to redownload the Rom again (delete the previous download). Make sure it is the 3.0 and Not the 3.0.1 release.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Hopefully a fresh download of the Rom will do it for ya.

I'm gonna have to go for now. Keep postin if it still is a no go after the new download and reinstall. Hopefully someone will be on to help ya if u r still having problems.

I would just delete it when u connect to ur pc before u copy over the fresh download. Or in recovery u can mount usb and then u can see ur internal sd on ur pc and do it then.

No problem. Later...
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Downloading 3.0 again.

If anyone has a suggestion would be greatly appreciated! :(

Thanks

Now computer (explorer) is getting glitchy :(

Just re-downloaded 3.0, trying to get it onto the sd card, hoping that was the problem.

Finally (after switching to my other computer) got it up and running :)

Quick question - I have a phone that has been running this for a couple of months with no issues and then today it is stuck in landscape mode for everything. I mean the home screen and all, rotation is on, I've rebooted and such all to no avail.

I'm confused because the home screens don't rotate at all usually even with rotation on so I don't know what's going on. What do I need to edit to fix this, or what other ideas do you have for me. I have Ill running on 25 phones and this is a first for me lol!

Thanks all!
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Unfortunately when something like this happens, it's usually caused by an app you've installed

You may want to check>uncheck and check again, the screen rotation in the quick togg in the pull down
[Captivate Android Development] trazer_se:
I've done that a few times now, rebooted and all and it's still stuck. This is someone elses phone and they were checking email and such putting it on the table in between uses and then suddenly it would not change when they picked it up. I'll keep looking, ask if they installed anything and such. Strange though for sure.
[Captivate Android Development] trazer_se:
Update and FYI post here -

I was able to get it fixed after finding another symptom on the phone of trouble. The phone would not react in any way to USB, it would not charge on the charger or notice when it was connected to a computer at all. After this I pulled the battery while the phone was on and left it out for a minute, held down the power down and such to drain it. Upon reboot rotate worked correctly again and it is charging.

No idea why, I'd tried all kinds of things to get it fixed so I thought I'd share as I found the USB symptom in someones post on another forum and sure enough I had that trouble too. They sent theirs off for repair, I won this battle so thought I might one day help someone else!
[Captivate Android Development] JigsterNL:
Love this ROM, little issue here though. I'm using an app called Grindroid. It need to stay logged in to receive messages. On this ROM it just randomly closes down when it is on the background,never had that before! Is this a GB thing?

(Note: it happens either on wifi or 3g data)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Chances are it's because the kernel's LMK settings are too aggressive. Try adding Thunderbolt Tweeks with non-aggressive LMK and see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] JigsterNL:
Thanksfor your reply,but wouldn't it be easier to installat another kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Not really. Both should install the same way (via recovery).
[Captivate Android Development] JigsterNL:
I just don't want to tweak too much this time
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Just flashed the rom about a day ago, just charged to 100% for the first time and the battery full tone sounded with battery icon on the far left of the status bar and lock screen came on. I see in the OP it was removed.

Also, kinda odd, but not a problem, when charging and I unplug, drops down a couple of %, which is typical, but then jumps up a couple of percentage points.

If someone can let me know about the battery full sound (don't mind so much the screen comes on, it goes off in time) -guessing I can remove the battery sound file?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I just flashed the latest thunderbolt with all tweaks, and all of a sudden, my search and home buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I press them, but nothing else happens. For some reason, the search button still works in root explorer, but nothing else I've tried so far.

I removed thunderbolt, cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted, reinstalled the latest corn kernel, but still no joy. What a strange problem... I guess my next step is to reflash the ROM, unless someone has a good idea...

How do you do that???
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
I think I read somewhere that there was a bug in GB that caused reboots if the number of applications installed (moved) to the external SD card exceeded a certain limit. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a specific number of apps or the amount of storage that these apps can take up in the SD? I recently re-flashed this ROM and noticed that after I installed a number of apps (games) to SD the phone started to have issues. I get random reboots, boot loops and performance issues even while not using any of my games installed in the SD. I also seem to recall recommendations for the speed (class) of external SD card to use. I have 16GB Ridata MicroSDHC Class 6... is this good enough?

Ppl are nagging and addicted to flashing. Be happy with this ROM for once, it is still fast and stable. If you don't agree then please flash a different ROM that is updated every week(and still filled with bugs).
