terrific rom

This rom is very good and stable love it so far. Just one thing, the baterry is draining like crazy, I'm at 66% in about 4 hours with mild use. Im running the stock Samurai kernal provided in this rom at rfs. Should i try another kernal or convert to ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I think you may need to simply reflash on a fully charged battery. Even on the first day running the new release I got 33 hours of battery life. And that was on Black Friday so you know I was using my phone too.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
Are you running on rfs or ext4
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I am running RC6's default option which is RFS.

Please Click Here to download Ad-Hoc WPA Supplicant for KK4.

Anyone in need of Google News and Weather Widget for KK4 Click Here

Sorry for the delay.

I'm on KK4 and getting good battery life. Please flash as follows :-

a.Disable Voodoo Lagfix

b.Flash any KK2 Stock ROM or Illuminance 2.1

c.Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (Just to be sure)

d.Flash Serenity KK4.

e.Enable Voodoo Lagfix (Not system partition)
[Captivate Android Development] zeroonea:
Anyone have wpa_supplicant file with adhoc supported on kk4? The default cannot search adhoc wifi
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
read the post above yours... :rolleyes:

so... how´s Serenity running for everybody? Any requests for RC6.1? :D
[Captivate Android Development] blazedj:
ddoubt, your ROM is very neat. It's simple and fast. GPS works well too.

I have one question though. You noted that

But there is no Internet call settings group in Call Settings. How do I use native SIP client then? Or is it unavailable in any Captivate ROMs yet?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
you can use SIP directly from the dialer...

OR

download cSipSimple, it works really well (according to XDA users... I have never used myself... :) )

I have tried two times to flash the touchwiz 4 launcher from post 2 with no luck. I was flashing it with CWM. Am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Odd, it worked right off for me. What's it not doing? It should flash and then immediately reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
That's exactly what's happening but when I look for it on the phone I it's not there. I clear defaults on the touch wiz 3 launcher, I press the home button and I only get the same three launcher choices, TWlauncher, Home, Arclauncher. Touchtiz 4 doesn't show up anywhere on the after flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Hrm, I don't think it shows up as anything other than 'twlauncher'

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Select twlaunchrer select default. Try to add a shortcut to home screen, it will be obvious if its 4
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
In the instructions it says to flash a kk4 kernel, where can I find that?
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
If you flashed RC6 then you have KK4 unless you've flashed something else.
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
You are definitly in the right place just keep looking in the dev section and if you dont want to make mistakes READ EVERYTHING. If you can ask a question then you can definitly read. YOU can find evrything you need to know by looking/scrolling in the development section. Look for the thread made for that kernel and READ THE WHOLE THING even if you dont understand it, the more you read the more you know.

And thats half the battle!!

Every battle won means getting closer to winning the war on information deficiency!!
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
That was epic...
[Captivate Android Development] axeman007:
So far I'm running KK4 RC6 with Voodoo Lagfix (except /system).

The ROM is very stable and speedy.

I managed to get a quadrant score of 2415 (OC @ 1.2 GHz)

Have 30 + apps and even then, no performance issues

Battery Life is great. Last even two days if Data/Wi-Fi is turned off. ( But can't live without them :) )

Flashed Samurai 1.4.2 and sqlite problems resolved.

Suggestions for RC7 :-

Include Google Voice / Video chat APK

Network Selection Mode under Settings (2g/3g toggle).

GPS tweaks from KH3 Build. They seems to be better.

Question :

Should I enable EXT4 lagfix ? Is there any performance improvements ?
[Captivate Android Development] zeroonea:
After I flash that rom, I cannot go to recovery mode. And my kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I897 UCKK4 CL614489, not samurai kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The kernel version will show the stock kernel version because that's coded in the source which we don't have yet.

As for the recovery issue I'm going to assume you've been trying with the Vol Up + Vol Down + Power method so have you tried downloading a Terminal Emulator and typing

su
reboot recovery

into it?
[Captivate Android Development] jordanpatrick:
Downloaded, replaced original Vendor.apk, rebooted to CWM and cleared cache / dalvik cache, but I still have the issue. I might try an older version of Market, if that doesn't work I may just reflash everything again.

Edit: Also removed all payment info, to see if it would prompt for my details again, and perhaps work...but no luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Have you tried the KE3 modem? Lots of people claim to have good experiences with it.
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
Running KE3 in the NY area. I think I connect to the google servers more often...I see more green than before. I think...
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
i had to 5 star you. its great seeing the cappy still getting fresh love. i also like seeing how dedicated you are to the thread at the moment, that is key to me. support, support, support. lol.

will give this a show if i snap back to the k-series, kinda hard to give up all the control i presently have over my cappy.

good luck with this project and i will keep a watchful eye out for more in it.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmmm... haven´t tried it yet... I´ll give it a shot then!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
thanks for the support! :D
[Captivate Android Development] james.arroyo:
downloaded and flashed...really diggin it so far. havent found any issues here.

thanks for the great ROM! will report back if i run into any bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] micavn:
Thanks for a great ROM.

I have a question. Where can I set the phone to run with 2G only?
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Downloading rom now...

Thanks for the work!

Can anyone comment on battery life/stability? Those are my two biggest concerns
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Alright, so I finally got around to installing today. No hiccups, everything is going well so far. Just waiting for CWM to finish up so I can get to that first boot. I'll make my write up later tonight. My way is the "OCD" way that I've down every ROM flash just because it always works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hasn´t been implemented yet, none of the i897 2.3.x has this option... I´m desperate to have this also, in my area only gsm plays well...

if you´re outside US and don´t have the RAT restriction, you could use the code *#2263# to change bands for now...
[Captivate Android Development] jordanpatrick:
Just an update - Reflashed the ROM, as well as a different kernel, but same Market problem. Going to see if the problem remains if I revert back to stock now I guess. I'm not exactly an expert on troubleshooting these types of things.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I'm rebuilding the ROM from scratch to eliminate the BT issue I've been experiencing, I'll include the stock market (I think it will solve your problem) and some modifications to the tweaks on RC4...
[Captivate Android Development] jordanpatrick:
I think you are right. After reverting to stock, I am able to purchase from the market again.

The new changes sound great, although I never had a BT issue at all. I am really looking forward to the new build because, besides the market thing, I really like this ROM. Speedy and stable. OC'ed I get 2500 on Quadrant, and have not had a crash of any sort yet. Also...I like the name...any chance its from the movie 'Serenity'?

Thanks much.
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
Nice ROM, thanks for the great work!

Can't activate bluetooth.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Yes, it is. I was a big fan of firefly...

I'm working on it, will be fixed on RC4.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
So, I've been running the rom for several hours now, and my initial impressions are: wow, it's friggin' fast. I'm honestly surprised at how snappy this is running. My old setup was using LauncherPro which I purchased cause I liked it a lot at the time. TouchWiz is surprisingly fast from what I remember it being on 2.1 and 2.2. I *would* keep using it, but it lacks a lot of functionality I need from LP Pro, so I'll have to go back to that.

In case anyone wants to know how I went about it...

1) Odin 1Click back to KF6 (2.1) Found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

2) Let it boot completely.

3) Rebooted into recovery and flashed the usual "update.zip" package to get the "classic" CWM

4) Flashed KF1 bootloaders only from a premade Odin package I found from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821

5) Rebooted back into recovery and flashed Samurai kernel v1.2 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299499

6) Turned off phone, then booted back into recovery and flashed the rom

I do not have any market problems, but then again, I haven't purchased anything. The only issues I've run into again, is the small and very limiting size of the cache partition on the phone. I'm trying to find the init.d script I used from Cog4 but I overlooked pulling it off the phone before wiping... Guess I'll pull it from my nandroid I did prior.

Also forgot to add that gallery loaded faster then I've ever seen before. I did not have the black screen bug that I've been hearing about. Taking pictures with the camera does seem slower then it did on Cog4.

Is there any chance of being able to remove the battery fully charged thing?
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Just flashed as well, really liking the ROM! Very very snappy, I am blasting through menu's and setting from app to app.

Will post more after a while of testing.

Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I´ll look into it ok! Not for RC4 but for 1.0 perhaps... :D
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I had this same question. I was a fan as well!
[Captivate Android Development] zeroonea:
That is what happen to me:

>> go to recovery mode > [fone reboot] > bootloader logo > display just like tv channel with very bad signal > [nothing else]

>> reboot > [fone reboot] > bootloader logo > display just like tv channel with very bad signal > display boot image of rom > [work well]
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
My advise is to flash Kernel again, using Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I second this.
[Captivate Android Development] IRONMAN-NC:
What color Green (code) did you use for the notification icons (blue-tooth, wifi, etc...)?

Thanks,

J
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
wow... its been a busy week for me... work work work... :eek:

anyway,

I don't know... got the icons from xda... :o
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
OK!

hMm... very very hard... requires A LOT of smali edit... I'll look into it but won't promise anything ok? You can swap callsettings.apk from a i9000 rom and you'll will have it, but you would lose the ability to deactivate/activate noise suppression...

Hmm people are voting for KK4 on the poll... I think I'll do a CWM flashable for those who want the KH3 back... this way everybody will be happy!

You will notice no substancial improvements...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You can probably get the desired info using the eyedropper tool that most image editing programs have. Granted each pixel might be slightly different.
[Captivate Android Development] IRONMAN-NC:
Here's a pretty good match if any one else asks. GB Green 82B600
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
I don't normally post but, this ROM is awesome! 9 hours and 17 minutes and 77% battery. Very nice work!! I hope you make new versions often, I will be following you. Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] axeman007:
Thanks. Looking forward for KH3 GPS CWM flash!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Found my first problems in RC6, And guess what... one if them is gallery related. When viewing your pictures one by one in the gallery, it becomes horribly slow to load each picture and eventually the whole phone locked up requiring a battery pull. This might just be me cause I have a couple hundred photos in here, but the issue never occurred on Froyo. The second bug is with the camera. Not only is it seriously slow to open (compared to Froyo), but when you change the video recording resolution to MMS friendly sizes, the camera zooms in so much that you could see an ant take a **** and you lose sight if what you're trying to record.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I'll try replicating the issues here and let you know ok!

EDIT: I could not replicate the gallery3D lock up but it does slow down on viewing picture by picture... I wont mess with these files (gallery & mediaprovider) as they are stock... lets hope the next leak fix it... please use quickpic for now...

EDIT 2: found the camera issue... looking into the problem right now...

EDIT 3: released RC6.1 with stock camera for now...

EDIT 4: I tried several gallery3D apks but they didnt fix the slow down... maybe the problem is on mediaprovider... well... looks like we'll have to wait the next leak after all...
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Serenity KK4 RC6.1 (Non-Wipe) is up!

Updated OP!! :D

Addons:

- KH3 GPS Files, CWM Flashable

- WPA_Supplicant Adhoc Support, CWM Flashable

Updated 2nd Post!!! :D

(all the mods & addons from 2nd post will work on RC6 and RC6.1)
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I wonder.... What would happen if I switched the GB camera out with the one from Froyo in regards to the startup speed.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I tried switching the apk with several i9000`s and I got issues everytime! :(
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
updated my cappy RC6 to RC6.1 (Non-Wipe) and wifi not get ip address.

setting ip manualy, working.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
ddoubt,

Try alternative Gallery fix from Illuminance website. It has Gallery3D and MediaProvider from Serendipity and it is working on KK4 like a charm. Make sure to clear data for gallery before opening the new gallery app.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
well... here everything is working fine :confused:

try clearing cache, dalvik-cache and wifi connection (password) then try connecting again!

I´ll test it later and let you know!
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
yess, all other works.

"try clearing cache, dalvik-cache and wifi connection (password) then try connecting again!"

Unfortunately, it does not help
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Great rom you got yourself here and I cant find any problems personally, but I was wondering is the Talon kernel compatible with this rom? Or would sticking with Samurai be best with this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] t0ucht0ne:
Just wanted to say that I've been using your rom for the last week and I really appreciate how light weight it is and how it feels snappy not because it has a bunch of super uber elite tweaks but just because it's so light weight!

Thanks, keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] KagaHades:
So long as it was activated before the swap it should remain so, shouldn't it?
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Experiencing the same issue. Updated from 6.0 to 6.1, followed immediately by the KH3 GPS files. GPS is spot on, but the phone won't grab a DHCP address from either of 2 wireless networks I've tried (200 miles apart, 1 of which had no prior connection to this phone, so nothing could have been stored anywhere).

Things tried:

1. Cleared the usual caches.

2. Extracted "modem.bin" from 6.0 and used Odin to reapply it.

I won't have much opportunity to continue testing various scenarios until Friday, but I thought I would put this out there.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmm... could you guys try flashing samurai kernel 1.4.2 again?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes, it should! :)
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
no, talon won't work because its a i9000 based kernel, serenity is a i897 rom which requires a i897 kernel... samurai, corn, nebula, boog's
[Captivate Android Development] rjc127:
The Talon Dev kernal will not work on i897 based roms (KK4 etc). The Talon Dev kernal is i9000 based and reoriented to work on the captivate only with i9000 based roms (JVR, JVS, JVT).
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Flashed the Samurai Kernel 1.4.2 linked from the "thanks" section of your first post, CWM version.

WiFi still will not obtain an address via DHCP.

And now I'm going out to dinner. =)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Have you tried reflashing the Modem and/or the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
well... thats strange... when you have time, do just one more test... swap settings.apk from rc6... it shouldnt have anything to do with this problem... but swap it... just in case...
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Its odd that you all are experiencing this. This was the biggest problem I had on Froyo and why I switched to GB

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Reflashed the modem back in post #603. Not in a place where I can reflash the ROM until Friday afternoon, but I could do a CWM that reverts the GPS files back to KK4 and doesn't affect anything else if ddoubt wants to put one together ... more specifically, one that reverts the "KH3 GPS files" which both I and the other poster had in common.

1. Extracted "settings.apk" from 6.0 and installed it in /system/app

2. Rebooted to Recovery, cleared cache, Dalvik.

3. Unsuccessful -- still could not get an IP address via DHCP.

4. Rebooted to Recovery, reflashed 6.1 to test.

5. Still could not get an IP address via DHCP.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Hmm... I´ll make a revert for the gps to see if it fixes the issue!
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I'm currently on RC5.3 running the KK1 modem. There's a certain stretch of road near me that if I'm using my phone while passing through, I lose my 3G connection. I've tried disabling data, switching to airplane mode, etc. but the only thing that seems to work to get my 3G back is by rebooting. Is this an issue with I897 ROMS or could it be the modem I'm using? I've only noticed this happening on this rom. (This is the first I897 that I've used for more than a day)
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
update to rc6... kk4 is far more stable than kk2! kk4 modem is excellent also!!
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
So I tried flashing 6.0 and the corn kernel... now my phone doesn't boot past the AT&T logo. I can't get into recovery mode but I can get into download mode. When I plug my phone in while in DL mode, my computer gives me a "bad ping" noise.

Please help! :(

Update 1: I think I fixed it.. Heimdall > Odin.. Flashing back to stock KH3. Will try re-flashing once it's up and running.

Update 2: Crisis diverted.. Was able to re-flash and get everything working. Something that may want to be taken away from this experience... The directions in the OP state to flash a kernel and then flash RC6. Well it appears that RC6 already comes with Samurai Kernel, and when flashing the Corn kernel before hand it can hose your phone. (The initial boot after this left me with no display, just status bar)

My wifi is obtaining IP address... RC6.1

Glad you got all figured ou! I´ll change OP on the flash instructions ok! :D

Please let me know how RC6 runs for you!

yes, mine too...

it seems the culprit is the KH3 GPS CWM... I´ll make a revert and link to 2nd post...
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
sorry for not being more present on the thread... :(

Its been a crazy week here at work and I´m having very little time to check xda...

I´ll post the revert for the GPS tonight and I´ll check on the other issues (gallery slow down, wifi, camera hack) so I can hopefully release RC6.1.1 this weekend...

Corn Kernal kk4

Has anyone tried this kernal out yet, and if so how is it for you guys?
[Captivate Android Development] razvanadrian:
theme

is it possible to use your theme on another kk4 ROM? and how? :)

THX
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
serenity does not have a theme... its pure stock... the only theming I've done was the notification bar icons, from gray to green... thats what the addon on 2nd post do, change the icons color! :)
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
so... I have not done a revert yet... lets do a quick test first!

I did a gps kh3/kk4 mixture for those with wifi issues... (I only swapped the binaries with kk4, the config files are still kh3)

flash this -> http://www.mediafire.com/?l0dfo5e7iq4i9l5

(only those with wifi issues! lets see if this fix the problem!!)
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Did not work for me. My testing process:

1. Delete the existing Wireless Network connection profile.

2. Recovery mode, wipe cache, Dalvik cache.

3. Install the .zip

4. Reboot, attempt to connect to the wireless network, still getting stuck at "Obtaining network address from [network name]".

Unless you see it as a compelling personal challenge, I vote you don't spend more time on this. :-) It seems like most of the vocal people are happy with the KK4 GPS performance and I am perfectly happy with the KH3 files, despite not being able to connect to a wireless network via DHCP. No reason for you to devote time to supporting the regression, when I can simply fix the problem myself by not using the KH3 files.

I am sure your time is much better spent with new and exciting ROM modifications (or with your family)!

Cheers for the great work.

Battery Life

Does anyone else notice that they get better battery life on EXT4 vs. RFS? I get about 30 minutes more of screen on time with lagfix enabled.

Phone crashing once a day

Does anyone else have issues with KK4 roms crashing like once a day? It is always a different program that crashes but it happens everyday at different times. Anyone notice that or should I just start from scratch again?

Also do these roms still have issues with TiBu? I wonder if that is my issue.
[Captivate Android Development] gitah:
Flashed and used for a week now and this is the fastest ROM I have ever tried. There is just a little thing about Swype that bothers me. I need to write in French but with a qwerty keyboard.

Is it possible to have the Swype version that has French Canadian keyboard?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
