I'm not sure about battery life, but in my opinion the phone seems snappier and smoother with lagfix enabled.

I've been on RC6 since its release and I am very pleased. The ROM is smooth, stable and by far my most favorite. I haven't had Wifi or crashing issues but I have experienced one issue from time to time. Sometimes (maybe 8 times since flashing RC5) after taking my phone off of the charger, I notice my battery will drop 10% in just a few minutes just sitting idle. I check the battery usage and I find "Android OS" to be the culprit. I can reboot the phone and "Android OS" will stop eating the battery and battery consumption goes back to normal.

Any ideas as to why this may happen and what steps I can take to prevent this? It seems to only happen after taking the phone off of the charger, be it a full charge or just a quick 10 min charge.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
That was a 2.3.3 bug I believe and was supposedly remedied by 2.3.4 and up. Its odd that you would still have that. I would like to know what happens when you turn the phone off while it's plugged in, then unplug while its off, and power it back on. I doubt that is going to fix anything, but I'm interested in if the behavior is the same.

@ddoubt On future rom updates, fullwipes only, you might want to remove the "iqbridged" file from /system/xbin directory. Supercurio's Voodoo CarrierIQ app detects that as part of CIQ. Its probably harmless on its own as its the only thing that was detected, but better safe then sorry. TrevE's CIQ detection app came back clean on your rom however.

Just like Kyuta said. Only bad TiBu data is a problem. But I believe you were confusing restoring TiBu backups with restoring Nandroid backups.

Edit: Crud, double posted. Cut me some slack, I'm awake with a migraine at almost 4am.

Nice ROM ddoubt. Fast and smooth like you say. Not a bunch of extras.
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
Any chance on getting a new Swype, mine is saying it's expired.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Same here. Deleted swype files from system/app and system/lib and installed swype beta from web, but swype keeps fc'n.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Yep, looks like expired swype here too.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
so... yes... it's expired... :eek:

anyway, here's how to fix it:

- delete "swype.apk" from /system/app/

- delete "libSwypeCore.2.29.71.20184.so" from /system/lib/

- delete "libSwypeCore.so" from /system/lib/

register on http://beta.swype.com/ - download swype installer, choose the languages you want, install

I just did these steps here and everything is fine!

EDIT: Just so you know, I'll include the new swype installer on serenity's next release so you can choose the language you want!! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I'll remove the file! Thanks for the heads up!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Select a different keyboard on settings, delete all the files I listed (2 posts above), reboot the phone, install installer, it should work fine... its working here!
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Installed, then downloaded again. All's well now.

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmm... so... no matter how much I try I cannot replicate the wifi issue here :mad:

so, what I need to know:

- rc6 had this issue before?

- rc6.1 update *alone* (no other updates CWM) cause the issue?

- gps kh3 cause the issue?

- wpa_supplicant cause the issue?

- which kernel? which file system?

EDIT: how many of you have this issue?

if anyone could provide these informations to me they will be very very helpfull!

thanks! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I'm running straight RC6 with no changes except the stock grey theme, my battery mod, and the cache script. Samurai 1.4 and RFS. No wifi problems.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
Sorry my englis is poor

kernel: Samurai-1.4.1 with default file system

im used, serenity all versions from the kj3 rc4, no wifi problem

updated rc6 no problem

updated rc6.1 no reboot, and then I put KH3 GPS Files and WPA_Supplicant

wifi not get ip address.

now i have time

I will return to stock and flash rc6, test wifi,

then put KH3 GPS Files, test wifi

then put WPA_Supplicant test wifi

kernel: Samurai-1.4.1 with default file system
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
thanks! if you do these tests and report back I'll be able to find the culprit on this issue for sure! :D

i think the problem is on cwm gps or cwm supplicant... there was no mod on rc6.1 that could cause this... and users report back to me after updating to rc6.1 and the issue did not happen!
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
1. RC 6.0 worked fine with WiFi / DHCP for me.

2. Like mr.valacky, I installed 6.1 via CWM and immediately installed the KH3 files via CWM, no reboot in-between.

3. I have not installed the wpa_supplicant CWM.

4. All of my testing is on RFS.

5. Whichever kernel is default for 6.0 and 6.1. Per your earlier testing step, I reinstalled the Samurai 1.4.2 kernel at one point. I also reapplied 6.1 once or twice, just to make sure it was a clean flash.

6. I've tried on 2 separate wireless networks (200 miles away from each other), using 3 different routers. Later on tonight I'll start from scratch.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
This honestly makes me believe it's the KH3 files.
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
I'm confused :)

back to stock

flash SerenityRC6: wifi working perfect

full wipe (data and cache and davlik cache) install 6.1: wifi working perfect (get faster ip than 6.0)

full wipe (data and cache and davlik cache) install KH3 GPS Files: wifi working perfect

full wipe (data and cache and davlik cache) install WPA_Supplicant wifi not working, im swhitch on but does not see network and immediately turns off
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
I cannot delete the 2 files in the lib directory they are real only. How do I delete?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Using Root Explorer or similar app make sure the /system partition's mounted rw or you can use a Terminal Emulator just make sure you type su and grant it Superuser permission first.
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
OK got the files deleted now swype installer force closes everytime. Even tried rebooting
[Captivate Android Development] rfound:
ddoubt... I want to thank you for your work on this ROM.

I ran Serenity for about a month, but today I installed the AOSP ICS beta2, and will never go back to Ginger. Hope you can be part of the ICS ROM development.

Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmmm... I'll wait UserNamer do his flashing from scratch again and we'll see how it turns out for him before I do anything...
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
steps:

- select another keyboard from settings

- uninstall any swype / swype installer

- delete "swype.apk" from /system/app/

- delete "libSwypeCore.2.29.71.20184.so" from /system/lib/

- delete "libSwypeCore.so" from /system/lib/

- reboot

- register on http://beta.swype.com/

- download swype installer

- open the installer, choose the languages you want, install

[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
thanks for using serenity!

hmmm... I wont be moving to ICS so soon... but, who knows huh ? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
please swap wpa_supplicant from /system/bin/ with the one on RC6 and tell me if it fixed the issue!
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Hey ddoubt,

I have been using the Serenity RC6 for the past couple of week and really loving it. I Installed Serenity RC6.1 and now I am getting a hyper home button attack. This is where the Home button will start pressing itself, regardless of what ever else is going on.

The last time I had this issue, was way back with the Onix kernel. I didn't have this issue before RC6.1 and don't have it when I flashed to stock and reinstalled Serenity RC6.

I really believe that it is a Kernel issue.

Just sharing...
[Captivate Android Development] storm_rider_1:
Didnt work the first two times, but this time it did.

Thanks for all your time, this is by far my favorite rom, and battery life is real good for me, which was a problem I had on a lot of other roms.
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
Is it possible to have a call drop tone added into the ROM? The i9000 ROM's have it but captivate doesn't. Still loving the ROM.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] blazedj:
Hi. I'm getting "Message not sent" error quite often when I try to send SMS (both from Go SMS and stock Messaging app). Have to resend 5-7 times to make it delivered at last. I send SMS in Unicode if it matters.

It worked flawlessly in Firefly ROM.

I've set SMS center number manually but it didn't help.

Am I the only one who faced this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Installing 6.0 then 6.1 then KH3 files with NO reboots or manual cache clearing/wiping == WiFi DOES NOT work (will not get a DHCP address).

Installing those 3 .zips with full reboots in between == WiFi DOES work, successfully receiving an IP via DHCP.

Weird.

My testing process this morning:

1. KJ3 stock with no bootloaders, load Boog's KJ3 kernel for CWM.

2. Install 6.0 full wipe, reboot, WiFi works successfully.

3. Recovery, install 6.1 non-wipe, reboot, WiFi works successfully.

4. Recovery, install KH3 files, reboot, WiFi works successfully.

5. Scratch head, frown.

6. Recovery, re-install 6.0 full-wipe, 6.1 non-wipe, KH3 files with NO reboots in-between.

7. Boot up, WiFi no longer works, will no longer retrieve an IP address via DHCP.

8. Scratch head, frown again.

Went through steps 1-8 twice, same behavior.

Might be relevant: Just noticed that after Step 7, when I use the Extended Menu to reboot to Recovery, Samurai no longer sees my sdcard and throws off a bunch of "can't open" errors. The phone still reboots and operates fine (apart from no WiFi), but Recovery is shot. Didn't notice this before.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Go to settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > APN settings. Add an apn, doesn't matter what you put just put something and hit menu then save.

When it shows the list of APNs, hit menu and "restore to default". After that toggle flight mode, this should make data work.

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

I have had the same issues... Not necessarily with WiFi, but with apps in general, or apps not showing up. If I were to use RootExplorer, I can see that the apps installed, but they aren't available for use.

The short story... I have learned to boot completely between flashes. And I almost always wipe and clear caches prior to each flash. It takes a bit longer to reboot, but it ensures that there is no residue in the caches to corrupt the new flash.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmm... the substancial change I did on RC6.1 was only the kernel indeed... try installing samurai 1.4.3, I'm using it on RC6.2 and I have not had this problem... If still persists try corn and let us know ok!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
well.... I'm glad the problem was not RC6.1 neither the CWMs... I think thas why I could not replicate the issue... I always reboot between flashes...

anyway... I'm releasing RC6.2 soon! thanks for all the support you guys have been providing on the thread! really, thank you very much! :D
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
As a longtime Continuum user who loved its stability let me compliment the quality of this ROM. I've not been impressed with many others. That said on to a question:

Do intermediate updates, eg 6.1, 6.2 require sequential flashing, or is the last update cumulative, i.e. need only 6.2 on top of 6?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
well guys, I've just updated OP with RC6.2...

I'm sorry but there was not much to do so It has a pretty weak change log... couldnt get a working hacked camera yet so we'll have to manage with the stock for now... the gallery3d slowdown has not been fixed either... I've tested several files and no one worked... it is a kk4 bug...

I linked a couple of mods on 2nd post too...

ahh!! IDoMy0wnRacing will share his theme with us also! As soon as he send me the theme, revert and screenshots I'll update 2nd post ok! :D
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
thanks!

flash RC6 -> reboot -> RC6.1 -> reboot -> RC6.2

:D
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
No issues at all with 6.2 :)
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I too very much like whats going on here... Very much.
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
Looking at the file sizes made clear, but as I had been out trying other roms getting back to current up to date Serenity wd be faster if the model for intermediate updates wd be for them to be cumulative.. Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
I had the widow issue and other bad bahavior trying to upgrade from rc5 to 6. When I fifty rge upgrade I downloaded rc6, rc6.1 and a uot file to change the battery icon. I had lagfix disabled and booted into recovery then clashed all three zip files in order.

When I was done I had no su access, busy box was missing,and recovery could mount anything.

I would up reflashibg stock kk1+root and reapplying the zips and got around the trouble.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Eye Candy Theme by IDoMy0wnRacing is UP! 2nd post with screenshots! :D :D

@IDoMy0wnRacing, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] storm_rider_1:
I flashed RC6.2 rebooted then flashed modded TW4 launcher and now my speaker isnt working, headphone jack works fine but nothing from the speaker, any Ideas?

(nevermind, I pulled the battery let sit for 5 minutes rebooted and now its working fine)
[Captivate Android Development] chazkenji:
Check out the ICS theme for Serenity by clicking the link in my signature :D
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
wow! really nice! :D is it RC6.2 or RC6 compatible?

can I link it up to 2nd post?

thanks for sharing your great theme! :)
[Captivate Android Development] billwtsn:
headphone jack isn't working

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. I am running serenity installed as specified and still have the problem. I had the problem when I switched to the themed roms, worked fine with the stock kk4 rom though. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] yamahakid:
just flashed 6.2, and the theme and it works great!
[Captivate Android Development] chazkenji:
It's compatible with RC6 to RC6.2 :D

Feel free to link it up to the 2nd post, you can use pictures from my OP as well ;)

Hope you all enjoy the theme :)
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
Has anyone ever gotten a "black screen of death" using this rom? Every so often when I'm browsing, it will sort of freeze and then when i hit home, i just get a black screen with the notification bar on the top. At that point, the only thing i can do is hold the power button and go to restart.

Any ideas how to fix?
[Captivate Android Development] pcguy23:
great work

thanks for the updates

this has been my daily driver for since RC5

no problems - no compaints - just works

thank you
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
maybe a hardware issue? I've have never had any problem with the headphones here... I'm using it right now and its very very ok :D
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmm... I dont have this issue either... please tell me the steps you followed on flashing serenity...
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
updated 2nd post with ICS Theme by chazkenji!

enjoy! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
this rom is looking very nice...i might have to make a jump ;]
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I just flashed Serenity 6.0 then 6.1,then 6.2. I flashed it over illuminance i think.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
ddoubt,

Wow, really nice job on ur Rom !!

And this quote from ur OP -- "Serenity is a basic ROM" -- kinda an understatement. Lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Battery "issues"?

What the heck did this ROM do to my battery? I can't get the battery stats to work at all. It just shows a flat line on the graph. Or maybe I need to get through a couple cycles of battery life.

Or maybe this is the best ROM/modem/kernel combo ever, in terms of battery life. Seriously - this is using battery at a rate of one half of the last ROM (which will remain nameless) I was on. Wow. Kudos...
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
how much time have u given it? reboot to cwm and clear the batt stats
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
well... kk4 base has given the roms very good battery life... and I also did a few tweaks on serenity to help with that... I can get at least 2 days of regular usage before I feel the need to plug in the charger :D - but its not THAT great, there are a couple of roms out there that share this same battery ;)
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I know that flashing Eye Candy v1.9.2 on Serenity RC 6 or RC 6.1 will update the ROM to RC 6.2 but WILL NOT update the Kernel to Samurai 1.4.3. It will leave the Kernel untouched.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmmm... that said... those of you who flashed Eye Candy on RC6 or RC6.1, please flash the updated Samurai 1.4.3 kernel to get the most of the ROM :D
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
Still had some difficulties. Flashing the GPS tools kills the ability to finalize WIFI negotiation.. keeps "obtaining IP.." never completely connecting.
[Captivate Android Development] yamahakid:
best rom i have had on my phone in quite some time, blazing fast, good data speeds, and my gps actually works for once. i just wish my phone would take to overclocking a little better, never has worked too well for me. A+ work!

Reversion pack for ICS

Plz provide reversion pack for ICS theme.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Do the following in order. Don't forget to reboot after each CWM flash :-

* Full Wipe and Install RC6

* Update to RC 6.1

* Install KH3 GPS ( If you need )

* Update to RC 6.2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you need ad-hoc wi-fi then :-

* Install ES File Explorer ( Use Root Explorer mode and Mount /system partition as writeable)

* Download the wpa_supplicant file from my earlier post.

* Turn off wi-fi.

* Replace the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin with the downloaded file

(Optional : backup the original wpa_supplicant , if you need )

* Reboot the phone

* Enjoy :)
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Sorry ALL,

I had to update my IDM0Racing's Serenity KK4 Revert (Download link has not changed).

Repaired FC of swype typo after revert is flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] axeman007:
Noticed something strange while performing wipe data / factory reset through CWM5 :-

"Formatting /dbdata....."

E:unknown volume "/dbdata"

What's the error dude?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That's something with the recovery code itself. I haven't bothered to look myself but the dbdata should still be formatted so you can ignore it.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
I have noticed that statement since cw2.

I believe that the external SDCard is considered "E:" and doesn't have a "/dbdata" data. So, no error.
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
Looking back at some older posts I see that you actually ask for suggested inclusions in the next gen release.

I am not big on themes but sound customization matters to me. I know that there are file size/duration considerations but still..

Suggestions for RC7 :-

1. Well behaved assignable rings to contacts

2. [never seen in android...but had on iPhone3G] Notification tone selection from sound files
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I've not had any issue with assigning a sound file (usually MP3) as my ringtone/notification tone.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
"E:" is for error, and unmodified CwM doesn't know what /dbdata is because it's still looking for the Froyo-era /datadata instead. You really can't ignore it....
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
I've noticed that I only get 3G speeds on this ROM - I used to get "H" or "E" over 90% of the time?
[Captivate Android Development] ChuckDaEngineer:
Native Captivate ROMs don't provide HSUPA support. They support the audience chip instead. Enjoy the sound quality.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
What Chuck said is correct. Our phones only support 3G and HSDPA (that's download only) speeds. If you saw H on your status bar it was most likely HSDPA if you were running a Captivate rom. E means you are on Edge, which is a 2G network. Its slower but you can expect better battery life on it.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Thanks for the clarification mtcarey, I know that Kernels are your specialty...

Nice work btw.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm guessing he's using my Kernel which boog created a modified recovery for and said the error can be ignored. Not sure why he left it like that, but looking at my output (from what I can remember it's been a while since I've factory reset via recovery) it formats /data /cache /datadata and /dbdata, but /datadata doesn't throw an error where as /dbdata does so I'm guessing /dbdata gets detected as /datadata which then causes the error to be produced for /dbdata.

This is all just speculation since I'm going from memory and don't have the code boog used (not that I could take the time to sit down and fully understand it anyways...)
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
Right. Edge is a 2G, often referred to as 2.5G for marketing purposes. Our phones also support G or GPRS. I am not sure why, but when I put my phone in my pocket at work, it drops from 3G to G. I think it may be all of the electronic equipment around me that causes a dead spot. So far I have tried KK1, KK2, and KK4 modems and KK1 works best for me, especially in rural areas with 2G towers further apart. KK4 was great until I put my phone in my pocket at work and it dropped to no data or voice signal.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I´ll make a revert pack for the ICS theme and link it up t 2nd post ok!
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
ddoubt,

I am thinking (99% sure) that the revert that I made would work as a revert for most themes... It will restore more files and apps then most folks theme anyways and return their phone back into a Serenity ROMed device, as you wrote it.

TW 4.5

First I really like this ROM. I'm a Noob so bear with me. This ROM has been the most stable of all that I have tried and it is running on my cappy as well as my wife's. Thanks for all your work on this and hope you keep making it better. I would like to try TW 4.5 but the link says that it is TW 4 based on KJ3. Anyone running TW 4.5?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I´m gonna check it out and let you know! :D
[Captivate Android Development] axeman007:
Yes, I'm using Samurai Kernel. When I got the /dbdata error, to cross-check whether the error persist in other kernels also, I flashed Apex 10 (DarkCore 4.0). Then I performed the wipe. Surprisingly, the same error occurs in DC Kernel too.
