I don't run Illuminance myself as I'm trying to find time to attempt my own ROM, but others that due have brought the issue up. Might just be bad permissions that are set on the files inside the zip that are keeping them from being removed though I doubt that.
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
i dont know about much ROM developing. but im guessing that the files are generated by the recovery because the recovery needs them to execute certain commands in the recovery menu. it could also be something that needs to be done always when the phone turns on.

They're files like enabling lagfix, its a script that tells the phone what to do while turning on.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
They're user created files to tell the kernel what to do on boot up. The user creates it(them), then reboots and the kernel will zipalign accordingly then remove the file(s). The only files that should remain after a re/boot are the disable-lagfix and system-as-rfs and the folders and their contents.

What is the ideal kernel for this rom? I flashed this rom for the first time tonight as per the Illum website instructions. I've been on Miui for months and needed a change. I flashed stock CKJ3, the Boog KJ3 Kernel, then the full 2.1 rom. Havent really had this rom installed long enough to test battery life/performance, but does anyone know what the ideal kernel for this rom is? I understand since I flashed the full 2.1 rom, the Samurai kernel was installed, is there any better kernel to install? Should I try Corn, reinstall Boog, or keep with Samurai? Thanks.

BTW, this rom with the new 360 launcher/ICS theme kicks a$$...
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
every device is different but with my two captivates i have gotten best results with corn.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
If you go with Corn there seems to be an issue with EXT4 from what I've read in the thread so either stick with RFS or use EXT2 for best results.
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
Wow this is incredible! Could you possibly give some more info on what you've been running? Do you have auto-sync and background data on? Also exactly what does awake status mean? My battery seems to say that my phone is awake the majority of the time. Today it only lasted me 14 hours, wi-fi off, and it ended up costing me as I needed the GPS when I got lost.

I'm running 2.1 with Corn Kernel v5.05 with auto-sync and background data enabled. I also keep wifi on all the time. I don't use Bluetooth.

If your phone is staying awake all the time, that could mean you have a rogue app keeping it from deep sleep. Check to see what apps are using the most battery percentage.
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
I'm using the same kernel and the only app that I have high on battery is Facebook and it's just 10%. I don't use Bluetooth either. And upon looking at my battery stats my awake times seem similar to yours. Kinda confused why mine isn't lasting all that long. My screen on time was more than yours but not considerably so. Also, what exactly is "deep sleep"?
[Captivate Android Development] astroZ0MB1E:
Deep sleep is when your CPU shuts down to conserve energy. Check out the CPU Spy app in the market, I believe it is made by a developer here at xda, and it's free. It should give you insight into what your CPU is doing.

Just keep in mind that when charging with a wall charger, your CPU will stay around 100MHz, and when charging on your computer it may stay up around 800MHz. When it's unplugged though, the majority of the time it should be in deep sleep when idle, and 800MHz when being used.

I haven't seen anything about the ext4 problem and I am currently running corn kernel 5.05 with all on ext4. What is the problem with it I am just curious, lol you got me worried when you say problems
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
My favorite is Onix 2.0......

Not really. I too use Corn. I have tried all the kernels available, making sure to give each a fair shake down. Just flashing a kernel and seeing it doesn't do something right (right away) doesn't mean it's no good. Conversely, if it works great, directly after flash, could mean nothing as well. There can be lingering effects, hence the shake down.

So try each....Please make sure to read each ones instructions for best instillation and performance.

I am thinking of loading this on my wife's cappy. She does not need speed, super long battery, or any advanced features. She just wants rock solid reliability. What kernel is most likely to meet that primary goal?
[Captivate Android Development] getinlost:
Illuminance II w/ Corn Kernel 5.0x.
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
When charging with wall charger, using to CPU Spy, it shows CPU is running at 1000MHz.

I can reset the CPU Spy stats and after about 5 minutes, CPU Spy shows it running strong at 1000MHz again (only while charging).

Running 2.1.1 with Corn 5.05 (this also happened on 5.04).

I am getting great battery life and when not charging phone stays in deep sleep as expected when not in use.

CPU Spy shows CPU frequency use but doesn’t seem to show what app is running at that frequency.

Any suggestions on what app will confirm what is running while the phone is charging or why it is cycling at 1000MHz?

Good ROM, but how do I change edit the APN settings

Hey Guys,

this is a great ROM, but I have one issue with it. For some reason I am unable to change the built-in APN settings (At&t). I would like to change the APN type from Internet+MMS to just MMS and it's not letting me.

I tried adding a new APN, but the UI will not let me switch to the new APN. I also tried apps like APN Manager to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks

So I reflashed 2.1 and didn't reinstall apps via TIBU and I'm still having issues with missing text messages. Has anyone discovered the real issue here?
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
From my experience, if it wasn't TiBu that was causing it(which I decided it was) then it's possibly a bad flash mixed with a bad download of Illuminance.

Maybe try redownloading 2.1 and 2.1.1, flashing back to stock JF6, master clear, and starting from scratch.

That's what I did and haven't had any issues with missed text messages at all this time around.
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
Has anyone had success using TiBu (restoring apps w/ data) and 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
yes only if you've gone from any version of 2 and ^ (2, 2.1, 2.1.1)
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
What do you mean by that? I'm going to flash 2.1, and then update to 2.1.1. When should I restore apps? Before or after the update?
[Captivate Android Development] sandrich:
Im getting random periods where my 3g service will show no service. A reboot, or hitting Flight mode, then back will reset my service. Is this a ROM issue or a kernel issue. Running Illuminance 2.1 with Samurai kernel (i think its the stock one).
[Captivate Android Development] loudoun83:
You can restore before the update to 2.1.1. If TiBu does not work, you can always restore your apps from https://market.android.com/mylibrary - of course this is a painfully slow process if you have a lot of apps. Also any apps that you may have side loaded (using SideLoad Wonder Machine) will not show up in the Library on the Market.

I am having issues with VPN? I am able to successfully connect from a computer on the same network as my phone, but my phone can't connect, so I know my VPN and firewall settings are correct. Are VPN connection issues related to the modem or the ROM? I hope it isn't the modem, because I ever since I have flashed KK1, I am loving it. 3G, GPS, and Wifi are great, and Edge where KK2 wouldn't get a signal.

Anyone else experiencing VPN issues?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
I think what he means is that if you are restoring any backup made by TiBu of 2.0 or later, then you'll have no problems. If you are trying to restore a backup that was made prior to 2.0 then TiBu may have problems. I believe this has to due with the KK2 leak that is being used and it's not 100% compatible with earlier versions. So in the end you'd be trying to restore an older, slightly different version, that just doesn't work that well with KK2 GB. Please correct me if I'm wrong, still learning myself. :o
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
While I don't know where the VPN issue is, have you tried the KK4 modem? Lots of people are swearing by it now.
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
I did try the KK4 modem, using it now, but it is still not working.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Might be a ROM issue then or something you flashed or just a bad flash. Sorry don't know much about VPNs...
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
I'm not sure if anyone has said this, so forgive me if someone has, I've determined that the battery life on 2.1.1 is awesome when data is toggled off, and using wifi for data. I've got 25% left after 15+ hours of moderate use.

Does anyone know of a way to have data disabled automatically when wifi is on? Other then the tasker or automate it apps.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Data connection is supposed to disable anyway when wifi is on. They both aren't on at the same time.

Corn Kernel v5.06 is out

is any one already flashed the new Corn Kernel v5.06?

does anyone know what to do before o after flashing that kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Make sure you disable lagfix and you should be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Only files in voodoo are

Disable lag fix

System as rds

I never created the other files

Should I create then reboot and then delete?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That's strange. The files are created when you flash the ROM, but some are having issues with the files sticking around when they shouldn't and messing with their recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Those files are not there and the recovery is messed up. I already went back to stock and reflashed the ROM, in never had this happen before but the only way out is to go back stock... Will re DL the ROM files and try again
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
If you're already on I897 GB, corn will flash over whatever you got. :) Check the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] hizhonor:
I'm not sure if you're still tracking down this bluetooth issue, but I thought I'd mention a bit of a different twist.

I had upgraded to 2.1.1 with bluetooth working perfectly, but had some weird battery performance so I decided to redo my work in steps. I reflashed to 2.1 and immediately lost bluetooth. Everything was grayed out in settings and the toggle in the pull down was a dim green.

I applied the 2.1.1 update and bluetooth is back.

I'm on a 1009 build if you're keeping track.

I'm loving this ROM. Keep up the great work!!

[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
My phone immediately rebooted when I selected Delete GPS Data. After that it was a basket case - agonizingly slow and very frequent reboots. I reflashed the ROM and then applied the Server and Server Port changes, but did not delete the GPS data.

Is deleting the data a necessary part of the fix, even after reboots?

I can't see much of a difference than from immediately before the fix. However, it is much, much better than before Illuminance. I'm getting 5 out of 9 satellites in about 15 seconds, with 30 meter accuracy. Is there anything else I can do to improve GPS?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Not sure of why u got the reboot ?? The deleting gps data has always been a part of the process.

What u r getting now is good, but u could try different modems to see if u can get better. If u do try that, then u will have to adjust ur settings again in angry gps.

You shouldn't have to disable any lagfix according to the OP in the Corn Kernel. It supports ext4 on all partitions.

Regarding unknown CSC, I think this may actually be the cause of being unable to install some apps from the market. I'm getting a "Your device is not compatible with this item" message for apps that I was able to install with other ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Not sure why this is happening...But a way to get it back is to open up the i897uckk2.tar leaked firmware with IZArc or another Archiver and then drag the cache.rfs file to ur desktop then use the Archiver to get it into a .tar file (rename it kk2cacherfs.tar) and then u could use Odin (put the kk2cacherfs.tar in the PDA slot) to flash it to ur phone. After it reboots dial *#1234# and the csc should read -- CSC : I897UCKK2

edit: Here is the Stocki897uckk2_cacherfs.tar if anyone wants it. Once u Odin this it will only wipe ur /cache and nothing else.

And fyi, u can look inside this kind of file with MagicISO. ----http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39937043/Stocki897uckk2_cacherfs.tar

Crashes and then loses widgets

I've been using 2.1.1 for several days now after running stock Froyo for almost a year. I'm mostly thrilled with the performance and stability, except when it crashes for no identifiable reason. These crashes are different than the old reboot problem. The cappy just simply dies and will not reboot unless the battery is removed and re-inserted, even two hours after the crash.

The most annoying part is that after a crash every widget is gone. I use Go Launcher Ex, and every widget is replaced by the message "Problem Loading Screen". To confirm that it isn't a Go Launcher problem, I also set-up a couple of widgets in TW Launcher. Those widgets just disappeared without even a message. Is there any way to save and restore the widget configuration? Resetting them up is a major pain.

When it crashes, most of the time it happens when I start a large program such as Navigator or Springpad (at least I think they are large), but the last time it happened while just changing an icon. Most of the time, these same programs do not cause a crash.

I sometimes wonder if it's due to too many apps running - yes, I'm an app whore. I usually have about 35MB-50MB of RAM free. There are several apps running in the background that seem to have no reason to be running when I'm not using them. Is there a way to prevent them from running, unless I manually start them?

In case it's relevant, I have 150MB free in system storage, but plenty of room on the SD Card. I have many apps on the SD card, but I think I once read that too many apps on the SD card could slow down the system, so I've hesitated to move more.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
- Did you restore apps+data using Titanium Backup?

- Which kernel are you on presently?
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
- TiBu: Yes

- Kernel version: I tried a few installs and I don't remember which kernel I tried last. The phone says says 2.6.35.7-1897UCKK2-CL614489
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
- Please note that TiBu restore, especially if data is restored too, can cause various problems. So I would recommend to start fresh again. If you need to restore apps, please do not restore data.

- You can try Corn Kernel 5.0.6-2 which is working really good for me. No lag at all.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Oh boy, not restoring data could be painful. :( I think I'll try that last. Here's to hoping that the Corn Kernel does the trick. Thanks IlluminatedOne.

Unless you tell me otherwise, I'll assume the use of memory that I described is irrelevant.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
If restoring data is must for you then do the selective restoring.

- Restore apps first, without any data, make sure not to restore any system app.

- Restore data for selective apps, I would advise restoring data only for games, so that you can save your game play levels.

Memory usage you have mentioned is not irrelevant, a large number number of apps, especially those which runs in background, will cause more memory usage. If you wish you can use LMK settings which more aggressive than present setting. Kyuta will be a better person to guide you in right direction on this matter.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
If restoring apps again becomes necessary, are you suggesting that I start from the beginning and re-install the ROM, or is there a good way to just wipe out the apps' data?

I guess I'll ping Kyuta if he doesn't notice this. Thanks again for your help IlluminatedOne.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
- You can go to Settings> Applications > Manage Applications > clear data for individual apps.

Though I would recommend a fresh start (reflash the ROM on top of stock leak ROM)

I'm sure he will notice it here as he visits this thread and help others on regular basis.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
pikachu01's post in my sig (Android Optimization Tips) has a LOT of useful information. It's where I got pretty much all the LMK info I have now. The LMK info is the fifth red header.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
So far that seems to have done the trick. There was one app that previously never worked. It didn't always crash the phone, but it was the most dependable offender. I hadn't mention it specifically since on the Market page they warned up-front that it doesn't always work with Galaxy S. That app is Sygic - a navigation app with downloaded maps from the same company that makes the Tom Tom. I'll report back if the app re-install becomes necessary.

Kyuta - Thanks for the guidance.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I just wanted to thank you so much for making a wonderful rom. I paired this with the ICS theme and Corn Kernel, and it is as smooth as I have seen with no problems. I even got over 3 days of battery life with wi-fi on and moderate usage (some 3G browsing, calls, texting, and about 3 hours of music). I was wondering if you have any plans to add anything or upgrade to KK4?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Yes. it will updated to KK4 and soon too.....
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I think I should pull apart the Corn Kernel again and see what tweaks he's applying now that makes his kernel so smooth and agreeable with everything
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
Hi steveorg, I remember reading somewhere on the Internet that Sygic is not 100% compatible with the Samsung Captivate, here's a link. I had similar problem with Sygic causing the phone to either freeze or just reboot while in use. This occurred on Apex ROM and Pinnacle. So I scrapped that app and moved on to iGo with Text-to-Speech. Much more stable now on my Pinnacle 1.3 ROM so I expect the same for Illuminance.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Alright, sounds good. Thanks a lot to anyone who works on this, including the IlluminatedOne, this rom is great!
