DDoubt: when you say "final" we hope you mean no more work on KK4, and will work with the next release. Or is there never to be anything after KK4 out from Samsung that is native Captivate code? I keep trying i9000 code and come back to Serenity. No comparison.

Or are you burned-out?

Serenity VS Mosaic 9

I have run both these ROMS. With Mosaic 9, i get 150m free after task kill. With Serenity I get 140m free. Still, after using both ROMS, I have reverted back to Serenity. I have never had a stability issue with Serenity. It is a fast stable ROM. Mosaic, is fast, but after going back to it, I was done with it in just 15 minutes. No lock screen choices, and a bunch of missing features. There was only 5 status bar buttons. What about all the other cool stuff? Serenity is where its at. The ICS Theme is exceptional. I love the sounds and looks. I installed the ICS 4.0.3 ROM, but I hate the stupid favorites icons above the contacts list. That is the dumbest thing introduced into the android GUI. Serenity ROM is the one. Great work. It has all the features I was looking for. I'm sure all the hardcore phone users like myself will appreciate this ROM for much more time to come.

THANKS!

So is anyone sticking with the RFS file system or did you guys switch over to EXT 4?
[Captivate Android Development] ermond:
Battery drains to fast. I'm using the full wipe version.

with release 6.2 the battery life was very impressive
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
I switched.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, RFS seems really laggy and freezes up a lot. I'm going to switch to ext 4 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Give the phone a couple of days to relearn the new system. Your battery life should improve.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Okay I'm having a serious problem. On 6.2 my earpiece speaker randomly stopped working after a month of use.

Then I flashed 6.3 and the speaker started to work again. but when I convert to EXT4, the speaker stops working again!

Is there a reason for this? Am I selecting the wrong setting (Wipe and back up) when I do the Ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
What is the process for switching to EXT4 from RFS? I'm on 6.3 (non-wipe) and went into the new Corn-based CWM recovery menu and noticed some different options from what Samarai had. Namely, I found the reformatting menu and confirmed my current configuration is all RFS. It looks like all I'd have to do is to choose the "ext4" option from the top of the screen, right?

Besides full backup, what other "prep" is required to change the format from RFS to EXT4?
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
Just boot into recovery and choose what you want and it will do the rest, it will back up and restore during the process if you leave it at the default in the save changes menu.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Can anyone help me figure out why my earpiece stops working when i switch to ext4? Is there a ext4 wipe option that doesn't get stuck at the att menu

Wifi not connecting

Hello!

I just got done installing serenity beginning with flashing the failsafe way with odin uckk1 and then installing cwm3 and then flashing rc 6 , then 6.1 then 6.2 and finally 6.3 with a reboot in between each flash. Each flash other than RC6 was the non wipe version. My problem is that when i try to connect to wifi it just says obtaining ip address and eventually disconnecting then trying again. I know that my wpa2 key is correct and I have read through all the pages and searched. I am at a loss and i need wifi so that i can connect to the web at my university (cell blockers are installed). If anyone has any ideas as to what i should do can you please help me out?? Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Maybe try a reflash of the modem.

[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Usually when one gets earpiece or speaker phone speaker failure, it isn’t a software issue.

I understand that it came back for you with the Serenity 6.3 update then lost it again when you converted to ext4.

To verify this will require a fresh start:

Flash to stock (I use a cwm KK4, Odin is great also)

Perform a Factory Format (*2767*3855#). This wipes EVERYTHING; removing all residue, leaving you with a fresh clean base ROM to start from.

And then flash your ROM of choice, (If you are using Serenity 6.3, use the FULL install since you are starting fresh) following the DEV’s method in their OP.

Try toggling the “Data network mode” from the extended power menu allowing approximately one minute between Data network mode deactivated and Data network mode activated.

But when i switch back to rfs it's fine. I guess I'll have to do a full wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Glad to hear. I would much rather flash/reflash software then replace my phone. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
The problem is that i eant ext4, rfs seems quite laggy. I was going to do a real hard reset like you suggested. Ill perform that sunday and report back here.

When you do the ext4, what setting did you select afterward when it asks about the wiping and stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Sorry ddoubt, I haven't read the OP in a while... :D
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Corn Kernel v7.01 has been released :D

Lots of add-ons and Open Source KK4
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
Can someone verify that this is even necessary? Is it not possible to just flash once using the full-wipe version of FINAL 6.3? I'm currently (still) on RC5.3... Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
@IDoMy0wnRacing

Well even though I followed all the steps you showed me and wiped everything like so and made sure everything was completely reformatted, my earpiece still doesn't work with EXT4.

It maybe a hardware issue or it really could be the ROM with my hardware. It's such a strange problem to have. I guess I'm either stuck on RFS or I might have to give another ROM a try.

Does the non-wipe version convert everything to RFS too? What if I flash it over what I have now while it has EXT4?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Installing the full wipe version works well.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I dint have a good answer for you. I'm sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I can answer your first question and possible the second. Both non-wipe and full wipe will convert your filesystems IF you choose to do so via recovery. It won't do it by itself by simply flashing. If you flash a non-wipe over what you have now, your file system will stay the same.

Edit: I also feel it necessary to tell you that you don't need to have ext4 on this rom. I have had it on rfs for many months now and I don't reboot my phone very often. I don't notice any lag, and its still very responsive. With the tweaks ddoubt made to this rom, ext4 is just an extra unnecessary option like putting a spoiler on a 4-cylinder economy car.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Well thanks anyways. This earpiece and ext4 problem is going to drive me crazy for quite awhile. It must be hardware. For what ever reason, my internal SD card must cause something hardware wise with the earpiece now. This is my only guess.

Plugging in earphones or a headset allows me to hear though.

Is there another user you might be able to direct me to that might know what's wrong? Maybe I need to clear the flash memory or debug it somehow.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Been trying different ROMs, and the same problem still exist when I flash over to Ext4!

This problem is driving me mad! I'm going to guess that something is wrong with my speakers (maybe a semi-conductor is giving out or not working properly). With the combination of ext4 using more power consumption and this faulty speaker, I'm guessing it results in my stupid earpiece to not work.

My next option may be to order a new earpiece and replace it or just stick with RFS for the next 4 months till quad core phones come out...
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Sounds to me your partition table is messed up. You may have to odin flash a rom that has a pit file. And start from there. No amount of wiping is going to fix it. If it works with rfs but not ext4 I doubt it's hardware related. My guess is, you probably have another issue when formatted in rfs but haven't discovered it yet.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
If I am on EXT4 with Corn 6.3 from Serenity 6.3, would I need to go back to RFS to install Corn 7.01? From the OP on the Corn thread it appeared that it could flash right on EXT4 directly. Although, reading through the OP it seems there might be a few more tweaks to do to get it a bit more stable. I'm extremely interested in getting BLN back on my phone. If for some reason I wanted to return to 6.03, would I need to CWM back to RFS first?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
CornKernel v702 released. Voodoo Color added.

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

No, v7.01 and v7.02 is still Corn Kernels and should be compatible. I was on ext4 when I flashed and had no issues. CWM is set up a little differently, but it is still working.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Do you have any ODIN roms you recommend that will give me a real true fresh start?

Or should I just got the stock rom that has Master clear available?

And there's a KK4 version in the 2nd post, but I don't think it matters which you use as you'll be flashing over it.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
So does this contain what is necessary to fix my partitions? Will this completely reformat my partition?
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
I'm planning to use the KK4 to reflash later today, but the KK4 link says that it'll repartition & full wipe. I'll report back when I'm up on 6.3.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
It worked, my problems are settled. Thanks guys.

Problem came back after I TiB restored my apps. Now I'm starting to believe that it maybe one of my apps that are causing this stupid problem...

EDIT 1:52PM

Now nothing I do gets the earpiece to work. I'm guessing it's just dead now...
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
Success! Up on 6.3, with Corn 7.03, EXT4.

Glad you sorted the source of your issue, Slim.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
I actually didn't. Strangely enough the problem came back after flashing the new Kernel.

I think I have discovered the root of the problem though. I think the sensor in the headphone jack is screwed up. THE PHONE THINKS THERE ARE A PAIR OF HEADPHONES IN!

The way I tested this out is with my GF's Captivate. When you connect a pair of headphones the screen sensor that turns the screen on and off when it's close to your skin will be disabled.

My GF's Captivate: When there are no headphones, the screen turns off during a call if I run my finger over the sensor. It will turn back on if I pull my finger away.

With headphones, the screen stays on and the sensor is disabled. Nothing happens.

My Captivate: The sensor seems to be disabled no matter what.

I could be totally wrong. The sensor and headphone jack or board itself could just have malfunctioned. Is there anywhere I can just disable headphone capabilities to see if this is the problem? Maybe disable the driver for the jack only?
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
I can confirm that it is my sensor in my headphone jack that is causing the problem.

Can anyone please advise if there is a way to completely disable the driver to not active? Please, any help would make my life a lot easier.

Any ideas why BLN doesn't work? I came from Cognition 4.5.3, then flashed this (I had GB bootloaders) and then Corn Kernel (7.03) and nothing. I've made sure it's enabled in CWM, I've uninstalled and redownladed the market app, and I've made sure Blink LED is active in all of my relevant apps. Halp?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Adfree Android. in the Market.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

I believe that it has something to do with /system/framework/services.jar not being modified for BLN in the ROM. With KK4 being new and with the source being released only recently, there was no way to apply BLN.

I know @ddoubt is working on a Services.jar patch. Hopefully this will resolve our BLN issue.
[Captivate Android Development] nedthehead:
That's reassuring! I realize it's quite a tiny feature in the grand scheme of things, but it was one of the reasons I was hesitant to make GB my daily driver. I can be more accepting of it to know it's not just an issue on my end.

And I did read through the last few pages to realize ddoubt has been busy recently. If he is working on a small tweak, I for one would greatly appreciate and use it, but that being said, if the source is new, things are bound to come together in time.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Does anyone know if the driver information is in the Kernel? Is there a way to disable the 3.5mm jack by messing with the Kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] ruagun:
question with corn using the gb kk4 source does this mean where will get the optimal battery life
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Yes you should be able to just unpack the initramfs from the kernel and modify the init.rc file to disable the jack... I think...

As of right now I'm going to say no due to what mt said about Samsung being lazy with the source. Once mt cleans it up like he did with CWM Recovery then yes.

However choosing the right Governor and Scheduler can help.

Since my full wipe & install of 6.3, my push notifications for Facebook & OKCupid have stopped entirely. Anyone heard of this issue and/or a fix?

[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
what is SIO and Smartass? What are they suppose to do?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
SIO is a "simple i/o scheduler". SmartassV2 is a cpu scaling governor. They are both well suited for the Captivate or pretty much any Android device.
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
I'm going to try it again today, but it seemed to me that 7.05 worked better for me than 7.06. Just seemed smoother, and the quadrant scores were higher between the two.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
So the weirdest thing happened to me today, and I think I remember reading about it happening to others too. I was in my school bookstore buying those stupid overpriced college textbooks, and I tried to call my dad. The phone said I had service, but when I went to the dialer and hit call, I lost signal, and the phone said I wasn't registered on the network. Ok no big deal, I went to an area with service and tried again, except it kept crashing after I had entered 3 numbers. I only entered 3-2-3 cause it spells dad and it would crash. I had to reboot the phone to get it working again. Anyway, I feel the phone starting to slowdown anyways from time to time, so I suppose now is as good a time as any to go to v6.3.

What version of Corn are the majority of you using?
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Any chance I can get more details please? Are they for over clocking?
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Tons of info here...

www.google.com/m?q=simple+io+scheduler

www.google.com/m?q=cpu+scaling+governor

Edit: Would go into more detail but am at work
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
crt60 pretty much pointed you in the right direction, but I'll point it out here for you.

The linux kernel has a few selectable input/output schedulers. It pretty much controls read/write to the disk. The goal of a scheduler is to optimize disk access times. SIO is a hybrid scheduler based on a scheduler called "deadline" and "no-op". Deadline essentially gives sets (for lack of a better word) a deadline for all disk operations so that no one process gets more access time then another, or can hold up other processes. SIO is geared more towards flash memory. Since you can access data segment A at the same speed as data segment B on flash memory, it doesn't use request sorting like deadline does, but does use the other parts of it.

Smartass is a CPU frequency governor. It is used for overclocking.

So while crt60 pointed you in the general direction, here's some better links. This is where I got my information and paraphrased it from. If you don't quite understand how I worded it, just read this and it'll make more sense.

Input/Output Schedulers: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/?topic=16629.0

Cpu Frequency Governors: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843406

Edit: Quick question from me to anyone else: Does anyone know if "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" works on our phone? It gets added to the build.prop to disable the boot animation for faster booting.
[Captivate Android Development] iJemuel:
I was having the same exact issue but with Pinnacle 1.3, the dialer + messaging would close on me. I then switched to this rom and everything has been great, it's faster too and the ICS theme makes it even better. I must say it takes a while to boot up though...

Since you stopped back by, a quick question. I noticed in the ROM when I use a data counter that it doesn't split out the bandwidth to different applications, all bandwidth data is lumped together as "android OS". Is that normal?

well... that's a good question... :rolleyes:

I don't know! :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Actually, I was a little off. The correct term is "OS Services". I found a page through Google that defines this as "measured usage not assigned to a specific installed application." I'm not sure why two different data meters both report 3G usage as this and not by specific app.

Can you give me installation instructions for non-wipe? im on KK4 now and I want to test this rom. Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Usually a non-wipe ROM is used when you are installing am update for the ROM that you are currently running.

My example would be updating from Serenity 6.2 to Serenity 6.3 and NOT from one KK4 to another.

If you want to try a ROM and you are going to go back to the one you are currently on... Do a nandroid back up of you current ROM(from CWM), back-up your apps with data (I use titanium Back up).

Flash the ROM you want to try per the developers instructions in the OP; restore your apps with data. Play...

If you don't like it, restore your original ROM with the nandroid back-up you made earlier.
