People used to complain when DesignGears would take a week or two off, too. Guys, most devs do this stuff in their free time. If they're anything like me, they've noticed how much that free time has shrank. I didn't even get to flash this weekend because my kid got sick and puked all over me. I spent the day taking care of her versus playing on the computer/phone.

It's about priorities. Some of us have families that have to come first. Some of us have our studies/jobs. If you want to encourage a dev to work harder/faster then click that donate button and buy them a beer. Most of these guys are doing this work for essentially free. I know numerous devs have complained that no one donates anymore.

Don't forget that quite a few Devs are moving on to newer phones. There are fewer and fewer who are left supporting us who can't move to the new phones yet. Let's make sure we treat them right.

Edit: I'm not asking you to donate to me or anyone else. Just asking to remember that devs are people and not machines created to pump out ROM updates.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Right on.
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
Now that the kid is feeling better I'll be flashing to Illuminance with your latest corn kernel. I've been reading nice things and I want to take it for a spin.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Cool... enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
I know this thread isn't very active for now, but if anyone has an idea would appreciate it.

Flashed this rom a few days ago with ICS theme, enjoying it :)

Problem I'm having is with assigned ringtones for contacts, they may work briefly, but then stop, and reverts to the default ringtone I have set, even though it shows in the contact info the specific ringtone I selected for the contact.

Presuming it shouldn't matter, but my contacts are phone/vcf card (I have always used that as there to used to be in earlier versions limitations with ringtones when using Google contacts) but presuming whether .vcf or Google contacts re: assigned ringtones shouldn't matter with the rom. :confused:

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Try flashing a different kernel such as mtcarey's new Corn Kernel from Source. There's an issue with some of the settings in the Samurai Kernel causing things to close that I was hoping to address once I got it compiled from source.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks, trying it now.

Edit: seems to have fixed it so far. Thanks

Edit: thanks again for the suggestion, worked briefly, as it occasionally did (assigned ringtones) but again is back to my selected default phone ringtone. But as per your advice, will stay with Corn kernel. Hopefully I can figure out the ringtone issue.
[Captivate Android Development] JesseK:
Nevermind again. Search works.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
I removed that toggle when I saw this in the OP (not sure if it applies):

"Reconfigurable Quick Panel Toggles, Upto 13 toggles. (Make sure to hide LED Flash Toggle, otherwise it will force close)"
[Captivate Android Development] JesseK:
Since figured it out, thanks though.

Only question now is how do I get Corn Kernel to flash? Tried in CWM and Odin.

My steps to get where I am; OdinOneClick I897UCKJ3_withBL, Speedmob Kernel, Illuminance, Illuminance 3.0.1, Percentage Mod, boot.

All good that far... once there, try to flash Corn Kernel with Odin, says all good, then when I reboot it's in a boot loop.

System info:

Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Firmware: 2.3.5

Baseband: I897UCKK4

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ3-CL614489

Build: Illuminance 3.0.1 UCKK4
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
^^

I flashed it last night through CWM. I first moved the init.d files from their folder as suggested in the thread's OP to avoid any conflict. Fortunately it flashed without a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] JesseK:
3rds a charm. Got it to go with CWM.

I think it hiccup'd last time I tried, but this time looked all good.

Not sure how I got it to work on one, but I can't get it to work on my 2nd Captivate.

Any other kernel recommendations to use if Corn isn't working?
[Captivate Android Development] JesseK:
Whats up with the Pandora widget not being on the list?

Edit: seems a handful of my widgets aren't showing up on the list. Has this been discussed somewhere? Neither Pandora or BattStat Pro are showing up. I'm sure there are others too..
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
custom ringtones

Still trying to figure out why assigned ringtones for contacts won't stay, may work once after re-boot, but reverts back to default phone ringtone (custom sound for that has remained), custom tones I've selected for e-mail, sms, etc. have remained. The contacts still show the custom selected ringtone, just doesn't play it when call comes in.

As suggested, switched to Corn kernel 7.03, and tried moving any of the sound files to the internal sd, but still fails. Did a search in the thread, but haven't seen anyone else with the issue. :confused:

Edit: might have found it, maybe I need to use "sound" instead of "ringtone", just tried that and it worked, will see if it sticks.
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
Having some issues...

Email app force closes, phone randomly lags and reboots, I can't send or receive MMS. I'm on a rogers Captivate. Thanks for any and all help :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] phrix626:
You need to move those apps from SD to phone storage.
[Captivate Android Development] JesseK:
Oh, this is using apps2sd or similar? didn't know that :rofl:

thanks

btw, can this be disabled anywhere? not seeing it in the obvious places. 2gb is more than enough internal storage for apps, imo.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It's a "feature" of the I897 Captivate builds (not sure if it does it on any of the other GB builds) where apps get installed to SD Card by default with no way to turn it off or change it that I've found...
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
Anybody?

Seriously, this is crazy, is there a fix for these things or no?
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
^^

pretty much a newb here, I don't think this rom is getting much activity anymore, and I don't know anything about i896 :(

There are a couple still helping some with this thread, hopefully they'll see your post.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Try a different kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thought I had solved my contacts' ringtones not sticking, worked twice, but now reverted back to default :confused:

Wish I could figure it out. Maybe this rom doesn't like contacts on the phone, but rather google contacts?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
If anything it's the base. I have the same issue and I'm on stock with exception of the kernel. I also zipaligned and sqlite optimized via scripts built into the kernel and have removed the bloatware.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
I hadn't seen anyone else in the thread mention the problem, even did a search.

That's unfortunate, I've always enjoyed that for many years with this, and all my phones, being able to set custom ringtones for contacts. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Maybe they don't use it as much? I just know that I have the same issue as you regarding them and I personally thought it was the kernel, but you said you still have the issue after switching.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. I thought people did use them. I don't a ton, but it's nice for a small number of people so you know who it is by the ring.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I was just thinking that the last time I reflashed KK4 I did a Master Clear that deleted everything on the phone and Internal SD Card and haven't had an issue yet, and I'm fairly positive I've installed more -- or at least more bigger -- games than before the reflash when I was having issues.

Well some people do the calling rather then the receiving, and some use their phone for everything else but a phone =D
[Captivate Android Development] ctrclckws:
I never remember who is associated with which ringtone so I stopped trying. :)
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
I know it's not for everyone, but I'd really like to figure out what's causing the glitch, that the contact's ringtones won't stick after setting them. Just like we all like certain tweaks, even as things as minor as the bootup splash screen (which I do like) are important to some, custom contacts ringtones is for me :)
[Captivate Android Development] ashok.antony:
I do use this feature on Illuminance and it works fine. Not many but for just 1 person on my contact list. Not sure what the problem is with your flash.
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
are there any solution for the poor haptic feedback of the 4 buttons(menu, home, return, search) and keyboard?

and there is a slight delay for the screen to appear after i turn on my phone.

any1 can help?
[Captivate Android Development] immortalm:
It was an app called 'Samsung Apps' causing the pain!
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
I also like this option, but it wouldn't stick all of the time. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. It's happened on just about every ROM I've used. I finally gave up and just set the main ringtone.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. I never had the problem on any rom before, though this is only my 4th, and my first GB rom (others were Froyo) I would have the very rare instance where the ringtone selected didn't ring when that contact called, but would go back on it's own to what I set it to. I may still try more things to figure it out.

Also, anyone having a problem with K-9 email app with this rom? It works fine mostly, but often when composing e-mail, it gets very sluggish while typing as I see it is auto saving as draft every 5 seconds, sometimes does it, sometimes not, all settings are still default. Will test the other e-mail apps.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Can anyone upload the swype remover? I'm having trouble d/l it from the illuminance website. Most of the links are dead.

Swyped from my SGH-i897 running MaxQ & Corn 7.03
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No, it wasn't anything Illum got around to fixing.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Email app

I've always been using K-9 email app, trying out the default one with the rom.

I see in settings frequency for checking mail -how do I have it always checking like it did on K-9? With set to "never", I only get email when I open the inbox, doesn't notify me. Only option other than never is every 5 minutes.

Thanks if anyone knows how the setup should be.

Also, not seeing the email in the list of running services, maybe that's part of the problem, but I'm trying to make sure it's the default, etc.

Edit: I cleared the defaults and started new with the default email app, but still unclear how to have it push notifications :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
From some reading, regarding the default email app (from SGS2)? I guess I need to set it as "premium account" and connect to Social Hub to be able to have "push" for the email?

Trying that setup now, got a message "connection failed"
[Captivate Android Development] ashok.antony:
I am using the default email app that came with the ROM. I hope you are on 3.01 version and not the version 3.

The email setting has Push as one of the options and I have that in my settings. I need to keep the background data and activeSync as ON for emails to be checked automatically.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
FWIW, had the same problem on multiple ROMs till I got rid of the contacts on the phone and SIM. Having all contacts in google only seemed to have fix it for me...
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Do you know if you chose "premium account" in the setup? I think I read that's needed for "push" email, but when I select it I get "connection failed" after it tries.

Edit: "Activesync" I have background data from the toggle active, and in accounts and sync gmail is checked.

Figuring that's MS Activesync app? (for exchange, etc.) which I guess I don't need, maybe I'll stick with other email apps. Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Thanks, haven't had the problem before, but first GB rom now. I did try adding one contact from Google to try and didn't work, but am considering deleting all off phone (none are on sim) and import all contacts from Google
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
You probably don't want to import them from Google, you want to sync them. And before that you want to turn off sync, export them from the phone, delete them from the phone, import them into Google, edit them there and only after that sync them :-). And you want to do nothing when the phone complains that you deleted too many (after it tries to sync) :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks, will try it that way :)

Edit: all seemed to go well, will see if it sticks this time :)

Edit: was sticking for a bit, but just tried it and it was the default ringtone :(

Interesting that it works, but within hours it's back to my main phone ringtone, though still shows in the contact info the custom ringtone I selected. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Maybe the theme that u have installed is causing some kind of a conflict...
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. That too has crossed my mind. I haven't seen anyone else mention it there, only a couple have said in reply to my post that they too have the problem.

I do like the ICS theme... plus I think he didn't create a revert zip for it, so I guess I'd have to re-flash to remove the theme?
[Captivate Android Development] ashok.antony:
No. Didn't use the "Premium Account" option. Accounts and Sync -> New Account -> Entered user name and password and selected manual setup -> Chose Exchange and proceeded further.

And yes. ActiveSync is for the Ms Exchange Server
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Edit: got it working, thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I too have some issues that are odd, but only while using ICS theme. mainly have trouble w/ ADW EX sticking after each reboot. All but adw theme icons stick.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Finally got stock email app running with push via activesync, but things are still glitchy, doesn't always make the notification tone, and rarely shows in the notification bar.

If I wanted to remove the ICS theme (I didn't see a revert file for it) unless I'm not seeing it, so I'd have to reflash the rom? :confused:

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Yup, just use TiBu to back up your apps
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Yeah, that I do...but the drag in it for me is also apps that don't have the ability to backup settings/data to sd, re-entering info, setting up accounts...

I know some people flash a lot, I guess they've found the easiest way to get everything restored, aside from apps. I like finding a "daily driver" with roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well if you're up to it you could easily make your own revert zip.

Make a copy of the theme zip and add "-revert" to the end of the name

Open your revert zip in 7-zip

Open the Illu zip in 7-zip

Replace the files in your revert zip with the corresponding files in the Illu zip

Put your revert zip on your phone and flash
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks. Might just try that :)

Edit: was just looking at the ICS theme zip unpacked...a lot of folders, not that familiar with which one's have "relevant" files to replace, guessing all of them? A lot of files to replace. Might be easier for me to reflash ;)

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

If I reflash the rom, should I disable Ext4 (return to RFS) first? (running corn 7.03)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Yes you would have to replace all the files since they're all relevant files to the theme in one way or another.
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Hi, I just flashed this rom with the ICS theme, for the most part its ok but bluetooth performance seems to be lacking. I'm using a Motorola sd9 stereo headset for music and it sound seems a bit staticy and and it cuts out a bit when I put it in my pocket. I'm coming from cm7, in which I noticed I had the same problem with the glitch kernal on it but the stock cm7 kernal worked fine. Would flashing the corn kernal work? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
can anyone provide a mediafire link for MMS with TimeStamp fix and swype_remover.zip plz? all the links from the website are broken

Nandroid

I know Illuminated had put in the installation instructions "Don't do a Nandroid backup!!" -though with Corn kernel, as it is able to do a Nandroid backup, is it ok?:confused: i.e, if I were to flash another rom, then wanted to return to this one, could I reinstall Corn and restore with nandroid?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Yep. Nandroid Backup on Corn is good to do.

And later, when u want to restore it, just be sure to flash the Rom u backed up on, then do the Restore.

Sent by XDA Premium App
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Was figuring so :)

Thanks

Edit: BTW, doing my first backup now in CWM -I selected "backup", as it's not titled "Nandroid backup", but presuming that's what it is, that I chose the correct selection? Presuming so, as I see that's the only backup option in CWM :)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] liquid blue:
Hey guys - I've been on cog5b3 (KF1) and has been running with no major problems. I would like to flash, but searching through the thread I'm still not sure of what I need to do. Can I just flash the kernel and then the rom since I'm already on GB bootloaders or should I start from scratch? Have been out of the dev forum for a while... Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:

Anyone having bluetooth issues? I've found it works great except when I first turn bluetooth on. Getting it to connect to my headset is a pain and i need to re-pair it every day. I came from cm7 and getting bluetooth to work was as simple as turning on your headset and phone. Didn't Have to resync every time. I just turned it off and my device disappears, won't save the pairing. What's the deal here?
[Captivate Android Development] liquid blue:
Yeah I read that, but I'm still a bit lost regarding BL. So since I'm already on GB BLs I don't need to touch them again right? Can't find a straight answer as to whether they change or not since the first GB leaks.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Boot loaders have not changed. If you have I9000 BL some people suggest switching to I897 ones.

Not sure if there is any real difference between the two but oh well. If you are currently running any non CM7 GB them you have them.
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
Has anyone updated to the newest Thunderbolt tweaks? Did it go smoothly? Is just as easy as flashing the new CWM file?
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
I'll know in about 1.5 hours when I head out to my car and attempt to connect my headset for the drive home. Is it only after rebooting your phone that you have issues? Or is it when you turn off bluetooth? I'm asking so I can try and recreate your issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Its when I first try to sync up and when I disconnect. Next time I go to use my headset I have a hell of a time trying to get it to reconnect to it. Usually the device is listed under pairings but last time I tried it wasn't even listed.
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
Sorry. Mine connected on first try.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Have u tried different i897 modems ??

Sent by XDA Premium App
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
It seems its working fine now. It's saving my pairing but here's the thing. If I just hit the toggle it won't automatically connect. I have to go onto the bluetooth settings and scan, and then select the headset and connect. On cyanogenmod if it was paired, it would automatically connect when bluetooth was switched on. This is could be a touchwiz issue I dunno i never used bluetooth before I put it on.

mms issues in Rogers captivate phone, "Rogers mms" always active

I'm unable to send or receive mms messages on my Rogers captivate. When I go to apn settings there is one called Rogers mms that doesn't have a dot beside . I can't edit any of the apns but I can create a new one. What it's this issue! Very frustrating
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Alright bluetooth totally sucks on this rom right now. Sometimes it won't turn on, it'll connect to my headset, show its connected and no audio will come through, i'll check the settings and it'll be disconnected, won't connect to my headset automatically, and flaky after it connects, music skips if I try to anything else like text, etc. Suggestions for modems?
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
Mine has never worked that way, stock, or custom rom.

If I have my headset turned off, then toggle on bluetooth, then turn it on it connects right away.

If I have my headset turned on, then toggle on bluetooth, then I must press a button on the headset before it connects.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Used this rom for a couple of months (now my wife uses it) - bluetooth works flawlessly both on a headset and in the car...
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
I apparently got a bad install. I am using the ICS theme, possible that may cause problems? I can't imagine it would, changes should only be skin deep anyway
[Captivate Android Development] shane9b3:
Download APN backup & restore (free from the market) and pm me your email I will send you the proper setup, then you can delete the current apns and install mine (all from within the app).
[Captivate Android Development] nugget68:
Are there any kernals besides samurai and corn that we can run with this rom? Corn never really worked for my phone for some reason, it always started out good, but got really laggy after a couple days. Samurai is better than corn for me but also starts to lag after a few days. Right now I am on samurai and games are starting to stop and load in the middle of play that didn't before...
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
You should be able to use any KK4 based kernel. Have you tried the updated Corn? Corn is now up to version 7.05 and has been working well for my phone.

You might want to check out the posts about the Thunderbolt tweaks. I think that might be causing your issues with the games. You can adjust the tweaks to make them work better. The author, pikachu01, has put out some updates to the Thunderbolt tweaks since the Illuminance was compiled.
[Captivate Android Development] nugget68:
Last corn I had was 703...I don't have thunderbolt installed...is it pretty straight forward?
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
Corn flashes the new kernel through CWM, very easy.

Thunderbolt tweaks are baked into this ROM so you actually have them also. The new Thunderbolt also flashes through CWM.

I would advise doing them one at a time. Maybe update to the new kernel first and then in a few days update to the latest Thunderbolt tweaks if you're still having issues.
[Captivate Android Development] a_fuegon:
It seems to me that the connectivity issue has always been there. If I opened the market while on data and midway switched to wifi, I would need to restart the app
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
This market sucks so bad. Connects at times but mostly not. POS application.

I came straight from Pinnacle with Corn Kernel, lagfix disabled, and now I'm just getting loops at the AT&T screen. Any suggestions?
