I suffered this issue on Pinnacle and this fixed it for me.

1. Get SGS Tools (Or something similar that gives you quick access to the secret codes)

2. Go to 'Touchscreen Firmware Version'

3. Press 'Touchscreen FW Update'

Make sure you're connected to either Wifi or Mobile Data. This process should only take 30 seconds and it should fix that issue.

I don't see touchware firmware in sgs toolbox

Edit.. got it I was in wrong program. So far so good. So its been a while and no more problem. Thanks so much I've been trying to find out the problem for a very long time

Battery life

Ok, here are some screenshots of my battery life. Like I said before, I did follow all the general troubleshooting steps...

The battery life and e-mail's power consumption has always been this high for all the leaked GB roms I have tried before except for on CM7. I always thought it was my puch e-mail syncs that killed my battery prematurely, however, I guess some of you with similar settings are experiencing otherwise...

Anyway, just like some of you suggested, I will once again flash back to stock and do a clean install...

Thanks,

Yaantra

No worries, glad I could help. This issue really annoyed me for a long time so was pretty happy when I figured that solution out.

I started working with new Apex Team today and will now try to incorporate similar features on i897 base. Though it will take some time.

SIP Should work on WiFi. It is not enabled to work on data though, which I will put in next release.

oh crap i press the wrong button and now its updtating the tsp firmware and now i cant do anything im a little bit worried my touchscreen is not responding at all but soft button responding dang am i doomed i press the home key and im on the home screen and everything i touch is not responding at all i afraid to turn it off any idea what tsp firmware is about what would happen if i turn this thing off?

EDIT: oh well since im a daredevil i turn it off and boot back everything is working disregard this post xD
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
One suggested by Boldizzle is Touch Key Firmware update. TSP is TouchScreen Panel. Type following in dialer:

*#*#2663#*#*

It will show you versions for both, TSP and Touch Key.

PS: Everyone, It is ideal to update firmwares while being on Stock only. That will ensure risk to be minimal.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I know that, but all "full wipe" ROMs (including this one) include a delete_recursive command for at least /system, /dbdata, /cache, and /data. That does exactly the same thing as manually wiping data/cache/dalvik from CWM and makes it irrelevant what may have been residing in /system due to your previous ROM.

So, once the ROM is ready to flash...there's nothing left in there anyway regardless of what you were coming from. That's what I meant earlier; from a purely technological perspective there is no benefit conferred by flashing stock/manually wiping/etc. that you don't already get from the install script. The only exception is if you have to repartition, in which case you do need to flash stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was on Apex. It totally hung and I waited like fifteen minutes before I finally rebooted. I was terrified, but it all worked after reboot.

I will never do that again. ;)

Red Nebula KJ3

FYI, I flashed the Red Nebula KJ3 kernel to try it.

I backed up the init.d file with root explorer (etc>init.d) and flashed through CWM. No problems. My boot animation worked (sanim.zip).

Quick run through several programs and long press keys working, BT working, GPS working (LOL, at as well as it has at 15ft accuracy).

So far all is good. I will run it tomorrow to see how is does for battery.

CWM version is v4.0.1.5 with the kernel.

Boot scans seem faster.

I know signal is the modem but I am getting -71dBm 20 asu with the KE3 modem and Red Nebula kernel. It is 0130 here in Norfolk but that is the best signal I have gotten.
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
Oh yeah I probably should've pointed this out.

If you try this on any ROMs based on other phones(i9000 etc) then this won't work.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
BTW the new market fix my thing that i cant buy it looks cool too :D
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well that's good to know, and I agree that if that's the case then there's no real benefit, I personally do it for peace of mind. The whole factory reset and clearing of caches in recovery anyways.

Hey bro, you might want to put your PS in the op somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] 96dogpound:
I've been trying this ROM for the past week (coming from Pinnacle 1.3 - R.I.P). I really like Illuminance and the direction that it is heading. I've had a couple issues pop up. The battery seems to drain quicker that Pinnacle but slower that stock. My GPS was having trouble locking and the phone reception was weak but switching to the KH3 modem fixed those. Also when I use UOT Kitchen some of the mods do not take. The battery mods work fine but the status bar icon mods do not take. It may show the mod icon sometimes but mainly reverts to the stock images. On the plus side this ROM reads the tags from AAC files correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Sounds like it is going to be nice. Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
I manually flash for piece of mind also. Flash to stock master clear ands run a kernel script cleaner...I know its excessive put eh that me...I've had no problems yet..
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I will concur with you for this time. I've always done straight up flash w/ no/bl's. I was running into unusual issues w/ this rom in the beginning, I flashed back > installed cwm > cleared all data formatted and re-installed the rom. My phone now runs as if it were new. So I don't know why it worked but... that's my story and I'm sticking to it;)
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
To save power, remember to go into Settings / Wifi / Advanced and tell Wifi to turn off when the screen turns off.

Remember, when setting up this build to go into phone book settings (sync to your gmail) and tell it to save new entries to your gmail account. Default is phone, which you will loose when you upgrade to the next update.

[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
LOL. Some things are just PFM :p
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
OK, for "piece of mind" purposes I can see:

1. Flashing to stock w/o bootloaders; and

2. Doing manual cache/data/dalvik wipes from CWM before/after flash

The manual wipes take like 2-3 seconds, are not dangerous in any way, and literally cost you nothing, so if you want to go that route and it gives you piece of mind, more power to you. The stock flash...putting aside the uselessness and potential to soft brick your phone if you get a bad flash/accidental cable disconnect/gremlins in the line, it's not going to hard brick you as long as you're not flashing bootloaders, so whatever.

But why on earth would you intentionally Master Clear and delete everything on your internal SD card just to flash a new ROM? It's literally 100% impossible for you to put/have anything on your SD card that would affect the way your ROM functions, and it's also not possible for you to have anything on the SD card that would affect the new ROM installation. Consider this:

1. You want to open the locked back door of your house;

2. You have the key to the door on your keyring;

3. Throw the key away instead of using it;

4. Break a window in your house, but then don't go through it;

5. Call a locksmith to change the locks on your back door;

6. Throw away the new key the locksmith gave you;

7. Call a second locksmith to make you a new key for the new lock;

8. Punch yourself in the face; and

9. Call a window repair company to replace the window you broke out.

10. You're now ready to open the locked back door.

Master Clearing just to flash a new ROM is pretty much the equivalent.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I was kinda wondering about this. If a Wipe rom does it work correctly, then there should be nothing to clear in the first place. I don't see why you would have to use the master clear externally any way. The phone itself has a master code to do that for you - *#*#7780#*#* this is a master clear code for the captivate.

And wouldn't you lose all your backups that did on the phone this way?
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
The install script for full-wipe ROMs will not clear the internal SD card, so Master Clear does something the flash does not. There's no need to do it just to flash a ROM, which is why no full-wipe ROM attempts to clear the internal SD card.

Yes, you would lose your TiBu/CWM backups with a Master Clear because they are located on your internal SD card. You would have to copy them to your computer before doing the Master Clear or you're sunk.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Ok, this is just me, and no offense to anyone, but the subject of "flash to stock, master clear, wipe, etc., etc. pro/cons" can be discussed in a thread in the q & a or general forums if someone wants to start a thread. So , out of respect for IlluminatedOne's Thread, let's get back on topic. Please & Thanks.

been using this rom for a few days and all I can say is

"my compliments to the chef"

good work

works well and very smooth

I am using the Samurai Kernel with lagfix enabled,

no complaints at all, all is well

thank you very much
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Thanks 4-2ndtwin.

Gromlakh: you are absolutely correct technically. Cleaning /sdcard doesn't affect ROM flashing but cleaning /efs /etc and all does. As of now, my ROM's script is not perfect (hoping that it will be in future releases) so I listed those steps in Clean Installation Procedure. DG's master clear does take a back of IMEI and cleans /efs folder and rewrite it. It also makes a backup of IMEI on your computer. I know that it wipes /sdcard and I clearly mentioned on my website to make a backup of your important stuff from sdcard.

Let this topic be in peace now. :P

BTW: New market is rolling out, I think version 3.3.11. I am on Apex 11 and it comes with Market from ICS (3.2.0) and it has not been updated to 3.3.11 yet. Does any of you get the New Market 3.3.11 yet?

Weirdness....and I imagine it is KJ3 related as it is a bit "weird" at times. Contacts, gallery etc...

I use TouchPal Keyboard and a few other people on the market have commented, but the keyboard will not stay as the default from boot up to boot up. More annoyingly it will happen at random. This has happened only on KJ3.

Also another weirdness...I clicked the screen on and the shortcut for Go SMS Pro was a faint colour. I clicked it and received a message saying the application was NOT installed. Went to the market and sure enough, it was NOT installed.

One more...I was just connected via USB, disconnected correctly...In the notification bar the USB symbol is still there and USB connected is visible in the drop-down.

Almost forgot, in CWM I can no longer access the external SD card but the card is visible and writable in Es Explorer.

Running this ROM with the new Red Nebula kernel but got the weird TouchPal default setting on the Samurai kernel as well. The Go SMS uninstalling itself is new. Don't care of course as I am happy trying out all the new stuff, but figured it was weird enough to mention.

[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Dumb question - how does one know when to use a rom with bootloaders or without bootloaders? If I am coming from Cognition 4.1.1 (running Froyo), I would assume I need to install the GB bootloaders?

Just for my own understanding: If someone already has the GB bootloaders on their phone, would it do any harm if they were to flash a ROM with the same GB bootloaders or are they better off going with a version without bootloaders?

Once I install the GB bootloaders, am I able to go back to a non-gingerbread ROM? Would I need to flash the bootloaders again?
[Captivate Android Development] gilpdawg:
Once you install the GB loaders there should be no need to flash bootloaders again. Even if you need to flash to stock to repartition the file system, like if you were going to flash a MTD based ROM, you can flash the one click GB stock leak with Boog's kernel and no bootloaders and have clockwork and all with one step. You have no need to ever flash to Eclair or Froyo again unless you want to. Also, IIRC, the GB loaders work with Froyo ROMs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Now by default the I897GB leaks have been installing apps on the SD Card. Have you moved the offending apps to your phone? If not try it and see if the offenses continue.

You need GB Bootloaders for GB ROMs and unlike Froyo it seems I9000 and I897 bootloaders do make a difference (more so for I897 ROMs then I9000 ones).

No need to flash bootloaders more then you need to.

GB bootloaders are backwards compatible so yes you'll be able to flash a Froyo ROM with GB bootloaders with minimal issues.

I should have remembered that initially with Titanium Backup it was advised to move the app. to the phone when running in to the batch backup issue.

I was on VictoryROM and like the simplicity, battery life, smoothness...was disheartened when the Dev moved to another device. That was until I flashed Illuminance 1.1!!!!

This ROM is buttery smooth, good battery life and a solid daily driver. I appreciate the stock theme as some other ROM theme's seem a bit juvenile, at least for my taste.

Keep up the silky smooth offerings, THANKS!

Solved my issue with the music continuing to play after turning off my car by switching to Google Music (it seems to just be the clunky Samsung music program).

Is anyone having trouble with MMS? I've tried stock modem, KH3, and KH2 (i896) and no dice.

I tried the trick where you send it to yourself to "set your phone up for the network" and no dice.

I'm located in Vancouver, BC, so I'm not sure if anyone else has another suggestion for a modem. :confused:

Otherwise, this was my first jump to i897 roms (from i9000), and it's SOOO much more stable than the i9000 roms I ran. Aside from a bit of a battery drain (still calibrating), this is such a solid rom. :D

Try modems from here, all of these work with Illuminance or any I897 based ROM. For battery, give it 2-3 charge-discharge cycle, it will be better.

[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Just wanted to say I am very happy with this ROM so far. I think I flashed it like four times at the start just to get everything right (I was restoring my email data on tibu and kept hosing it up). I think I had one time of contacts stopping the first time I loaded it (not even a FC, but it just closed) and now it has been running very nicely. I too like that it looks mostly stock. I don't go for all the crazy stuff. This looks simple and elegant. I was on GB loaders, but did a flash to stock KJ3 first, then did the *2767*3855# factory format after that (make sure you are NOT rooted when you do the factory format, good thing I had my jig cause I bootlooped myself trying to factory format when it was rooted).... then flashed the kernel with CW and flashed the ROM. Worked nice. For some reason it always takes me about 3 or 4 flashes to feel like I have everything right. :)

Very nice work. I hope you keep with this one. (even though I don't currently see anything wrong with it).

LMK Stands for low memory killer there is a cwm flashable zip in his thread the samurai kernel, it helps when you are getting fc on some random apps

That's strange. It should wipe out anything and everything not found in a stock ROM when you enter that into the dialer so being rooted or having 50 different versions of busybox installed in 60 different places shouldn't matter. I wonder why it caused you to bootloop. What kernel were you using?

I have MasterCleared. The works. My issue, is that I am now unable to download or install more than say 4-5 apps when before my move to Illuminance from mosaic I had 10 pages of apps(i know...ridiculous, but I am terminally ill...so my phone is used a bit different.

I have stripped Illuminance down. Uhh...tried basically everything I could think of. Anyone have any idea on why this is happening? I also did everything all over again and went back to 2.3.3 jvp and mosaic etc but still couldn't install anything. This just has me lost.
