Nice ROM, ddoubt. I installed it yesterday with the Samurai Kernel and it has been working nearly flawlessly. Subjectively, the system seems noticeably quicker when compared to the stock KJ3 ROM. Less lag while swiping through menus, and opening programs, etc...

Objectively, without any overclocking, I receive a 1600ish average score on Quadrant. On stock 2.3.5 I was averaging around a 1400 score in Quadrant. Also, as a test, I ran Contract Killer: Zombies and maintained around 5 more FPS while playing over stock.

The only issue I have run into is purchasing applications from the Market. It won't let me. I can download free apps without issue. But the Market gives an error message whenever I try to purchase an app. It works if I use my laptop to purchase the app from the Market and then download it to my phone.

Anyways, really nice ROM. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] poncespr:
Nice job.

Giving it a shot and so far no issues since last night.
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
I've run in to this before on a different ROM and Kernel but only on KJ3.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Look for the new Market leak and install it then see if you still have the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] james.arroyo:
I am coming from another KJ3 ROM (fusion X), would I be in the clear to restore+data from TB after flashing this ROM. I know it was recommended to not restore data when going to do a i897 ROM from a i9000 ROM. I just dont want to run across any issues because i did something dumb.

Sound Problem

Just flashed it for the second time and am still having a problem with sound. It plays but the volume is very low. I made sure that the volume was turned completely up in settings but still no joy.

EDIT:

Flashed back to stock KI2 and then retried this ROM. Sound now works... I don't know why the electrons were confused but I guess they finally decided to co-operate.
[Captivate Android Development] jordanpatrick:
Alright, I will try that out later today if I get a chance.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Can anyone else not access the UOT Kitchen? I always get "unable to connect to server" in all my browsers.

Edit: According to http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com ......... It's just me :confused::confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Try the market from this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18968244&postcount=1), it is the new leak (delete the current market and copy over the new one, don´t forget to clear data), if the problem persists for most people I may revert to the older one...
[Captivate Android Development] jordanpatrick:
I installed the new leak of the Market, and cleared data, but the problem is still there. Its strange to me that the problem is only with purchasing...I'm assuming then its an issue with connecting to the account / accessing payment info?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
you shouldn´t have a problem on restoring data from TB...

hmmm, everything is fine here, try doing a factory reset before flash...
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Same thing happened on my bluetooth... I just CWM flashed the kh3 modem again, and voila... Bluetooth starts working again... :-) Never had market issues though.

@DDOUBT - Nice ROM btw... Quite smooth to start out... Though I have experienced kj3 slowing down as the day progresses. Hopefully, this time will be different. In any case thanks for the continued efforts of all the cappy devs.

But what is the reason for including the kh3 modem instead of kj3 matching the ROM???

Thanks,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Try the attached one and let me know! (don´t forget to clear data)
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
KH3 modem had better reception, battery life and gps on my tests...
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
It's a new problem, I think - it wasn't an issue on RC.1 IIRC. Thanks for the tip though.
[Captivate Android Development] RAID Xero:
You're welcome. (and thank you for my first thanks!) I forgot to mention I'm on Pinnacle 1.3 and it does the same. All of the KJ3 ROMs made Launcher Pro act that way on my phone if I recall correctly. I'm currently doing a backup so I can try out Serenity.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Serenity KK2 RC5.2 Non-Wipe is UP!! :D

including the 9 Lockscreens Mod (credits to Johnsondr80 & crt60)!!

Updated OP!
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
Updated APN in RC 5.2? Will try tomorrow!
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
Loving this ROM. I now have my daily driver. Smooth, fast and my battery life is incredible, the best is ever been with my cappy. Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I have no classes tomorrow so I will move on from my splendid RC4.2 to 5.2 tomorrow. I await great things as always ddoubt. I will also be updating and posting the new battery mods to work with KK2 (as soon as I remember how to work my new SSH tunnel. Turns out my issue with accessing the UOT kitchen is because my Cisco firewall has blocked all Ripe webspace, which is where the kitchen is hosted, because we get a lot of hack attempts from there on a daily basis).
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
please do post the battery mods so I can link them on the 2nd post! I need to clean up the mods a little bit also...

EDIT: Has anyone tried the last Corn kernel with Serenity?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Anyone have STOCK i897 Gingerbread Camera?

I don't really like the MODDED Camera...

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I don´t have it right now, but you can easily take the camera.apk from TRusselo´s stock KK2 , HERE
[Captivate Android Development] chazkenji:
Sorry for such noob question :)

I see there're plenty of carriers in APN list, but I don't know how to use it?

My country's carriers are also in that list :)
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
A question about tethering.

I've cruised a lot of the GB threads but not seen anything about tethering, perhaps I've missed it and if so apologize. But, does this ROM provide for that, in the work around AT&T sense that is? It was never that important to me but I'll be getting a WiFi tablet soon and want to hook that to my phone when not at home.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes, tethering works fine... if you don´t want att to know about it, just delete TetheringManager2.apk from /system/app and install a third party app...
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Spoke too soon about TW4, it was working fine and all of a sudden started FC'ing and locking up the phone. Back to TW3 for me. Not sure what brought it on.
[Captivate Android Development] Ruddy64:
I'm currently on Pinnacle 1.3. Rom is great and battery life is amazing. But since watsa sold his cappy there is no more updates for it. I'm thinking of switching to Serenity. My question is, how is the battery life on it? On Pinnacle, i can get about 24-30 hrs with normal use. Would this rom be anywhere close to it?

Thanx in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes... with your battery proper calibrated you will get at least that much time...
[Captivate Android Development] Elektron777:
Hi! This rom multilanguage?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes, same as stock kk2
[Captivate Android Development] pcguy23:
very nice 5.2 update

working lock screens and working lock screen wallpaper

great job

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Tethering works fine as he said, however it doesn't matter if you use a third party app or not to enable tethering. You must change the User Agent string of the web browser you are using to make it look like the traffic is coming from you phone. Use google to find out how to change the user agent for your browser, and you can go to this site to find out the user agent string of the stock browser on your phone http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
Its always something isn't it... Thanks for the additional detail.
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
Well... I'm at a loss. MMS still doesn't work =(

Thanks for trying!

Otherwise, this is performing wonderfully. The phone's been used moderately today; unplugged from charger 8.5 hours ago, and still at 70% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I hate to suggest this, you might want to try a full wipe using the master reset.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
KK2 Battery Mods Galore!

WARNING: THESE ARE ONLY FOR RC5.0 THROUGH RC5.2. I NEED TO REMAKE THEM FOR RC5.3

Finished all the battery mods for the KK2 base, so here they are for download. Flash through CWM as always.

1) Gingerbread (green vertical)

2) Digital (the picture for this one might be wrong. I can't remember if I made it green from 50% to 100% or if I left it blue from 75% to 100%. If you flash it and don't like the color, send me a PM and I'll upload a fixed one.

3) This is the one I like. It's basically stock, except horizontal and a little easier to read. They call it "Enhanced"

4) Basically the same as Enhanced except it's vertical like the gingerbread meter and easier to read.

5) JazzK mod as requested by Fate-Silver

I am also including a revert incase you want to go back to stock. When you flash these, you will lose the CRT off animation. There is nothing that I can do about that.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Just flash through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
That's correct sir. Let me add that to my post.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Thanks for the MODs.

Anyone encounter the MMS bug except slapperypete?
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
I thought I had...? Here's what I did on my last flash.

What's the easiest way to master clear? Would you suggest these as good instructions to follow?

The MMS issue seems to be mine alone.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Are you able to create a new apn? Or are you trying to edit the existing one? Can you explain to me what you've done and tried regarding the apn settings?
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
I flashed RC 5.2, which allows me to edit the existing APN settings, and create new ones. Previous versions of this ROM, the APNs were locked for editing.

I've tried two things here:

1) Modify the default APN to the settings I found here

2) Create a new APN with those same settings.

No success either way.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Are you using the stock mms.apk or a third party app? I know for a fact that GO SMS (which is what I use) has an option in the settings to enter an APN that differs from what is in the settings of the phone. Maybe you might want to give that a shot (at least temporarily) til we find a long term solution.

Also, does anyone know the location of the file(s) where the APNs are stored? I want to look that over.
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
Go SMS Pro, for the win!

Thank you!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
So it worked? That's great! :D
[Captivate Android Development] slapperypete:
It did - and it's a great looking app to boot. Thanks for the protip.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Anytime. It's lightweight, fast, and fully theme-able (word?). Even includes SMS backups for when we update our roms.

TIL: GO SMS fixes MMS problems on Rogers
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Where would I find the Serenity background image included with 5.2?
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Using the TW Launcher, you can find it using the TW wallpaper browser.
[Captivate Android Development] Ruddy64:
When flashing kernel, auto reboot box is checked. Should i leave it checked or should i uncheck it?
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Thank you very much!
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I take it you're flashing the kernel via Odin/Heimdall and not through recovery mode? If that's the case, then uncheck the auto reboot. I'm not sure it makes a difference either way, but I prefer to watch the phone instead of my computer screen after a flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
@miztaken1312,

Can you make a JazzK battery MOD(for this ROM) for me? Please? Thanks. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Absolutely. I'll do it real fast before I pass out for the night.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Thanks for all the mods!! Updated 2nd Post!! :D

apns are located on /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Glad it work out for you!

Thank you (again) for helping slapperypete with his problem and for being so active on Serenity´s thread helping users out!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
It's my pleasure.

Edit: Fate-Silver, your battery mod is on the post with the other battery mods I did earlier today. Enjoy
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Thanks for the MOD!

Appreciated! :D
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Serenity KK2 RC5.3 (non-wipe) is out!!! :D :D :D

with......... 14 toggles for quickpanel, customizable through "QuickPanel Settings" app...

new mod for you guys, this one is cooler than the 9 toggles one!

Updated OP!!
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Instant FC on the bar if you select the flashlight quicktoggle. You can remove it and everything seems to be ok.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes... forgot to warn you guys... since this is a port from sgs 2 the flashlight won´t work because it uses the camera led flash which our cappys don´t have, open quickpanel settings app and deselect this widget and everything will be fine... I´ll "try" removing this option on the next update...

I´ll update OP with this warning... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Reading the OP answered the question :p
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Do I need to flash 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 or can I go straight to 5.3 from 5.0?
[Captivate Android Development] seodle:
Currently on 4.2. To put 5.3 on do I have flash 5.1 and 5.2 first or can I go straight from RC5 to 5.3?

Does 5.2 Battery Mods work on 5.3?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Reading the OP, most of the changes are undone/updated by the next change. I just loaded this ROM on my wife's phone and flashed 5.3 from a clean install of 5.0, and had no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
you need to flash RC5... RC5.1 you can skip... but RC5.2 you have to flash or you won´t get 9locks which framework is update in RC5.3...

sumary: RC5 -> RC5.2 -> RC5.3

OR... you´ll probably have issues...

you cannot apply the battery mods for RC5.2 on RC5.3... they need to be redone on UOT... sorry for that...
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
LOL. There goes my night.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
sorry again :(

anyway... I saved you all of a big full wipe... with this 14 toggle mod, you could make the flashlight widget "do something" with the display instead of FC (I think it would make it brighter I don´t know for sure... quite useless, since it was designed for the rear led of SGSII... nevertheless...) but I´d have to resign all the apks from /system/app and /framework/app... well... it is so much simpler to just deselect the widget from the app, isnt it? :D

I´ll also mess with the quickpanel settings app to try leaving deselected by default on first install...
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I actually still have yet to flash RC5 :p;)
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Really it should be removed for it to be a complete port. I think you should also make a 5.3 full for those that haven't flashed yet.

I'll be trying your rom again....I don't like that it enables ext by default though. IMO it should stay with what you already have.... so if you're on ext4 currently and flash it remains there also true with rfs. It shouldn't convert automatically. These are just my opinions of course.
[Captivate Android Development] Ruddy64:
Tried flashing battery revert mod. Keep getting errors. Says flash aborted, error 6.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
I just remade the zip and updated it on the battery mod post. Please re-download and try it again and let me know if it's successful.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
for my next release I´ll try removing the flashlight button...

also, I´ll release an CWM flashable file for those who want to stay on RFS, flash the file and then flash Serenity and you will stay on RFS... I was already thinking on making 02 serenity options (EXT4 and RFS), thanks for the suggestion! :D

Please let me know what you think of RC5.3...

EDIT: next release I´ll make a full wipe and non-wipe option also...
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
If you are already on rfs, just create an empty file named disable-lagfix in a folder named voodoo on the sd card. Then no conversion will happen.
[Captivate Android Development] nm131:
Init.d script for increasing Cache Partition size (Serenity KJ3 RC3), CWM Flashable, go

How much does it increase? And is there a version of KK2 RC5.3
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes, the CWM flashable file I´ll release will do just that...

it increases to 64m I think... there´s no version for RC5.3 yet...
[Captivate Android Development] nm131:
looking forward to have that ,I use cyanogenmod because it is 90MB
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Really liking 5.3 so far. Was on 4.2 and by far the best features are the new quick panels and lock screens. I actually discovered that ktlo works on i897 ROMs so I'm excited about that.

I tried out the no led app and I'm currently on the ledge with it.

Keep the good work up!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
I'll have a look at the script and do some test when I have some time here!
[Captivate Android Development] Xx-Ness-xX:
Just flashed the ROM, so far so good. I love the 14 quick panel status bar, they are awesome. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I believe there is an option when porting the 14 toggle over. I saw it when I ported it over to my stock rom. Its a smali edit that changes what the toggle does I think.

I could have sworn there was a way that you don't have to add the voodoo folder. That it would default to RFS but if you were already on ext4 it would stay on ext4. The same for RFS....

That would eliminate the need for using the voodoo folder. Maybe you can talk to Existz about it. I believe Talon does that.
[Captivate Android Development] touchtweak:
Man, my battery life is so much worse with the KK2 Rom. WTF? I think that i read earlier that users were finding it better.

Would clearing the battery stats in CWM make it better?

Other than that.... loving it. Thanks!

tethering not working

Hi

please help

tethering not working for me

(mobile internet working perfect)
[Captivate Android Development] Xx-Ness-xX:
I just flashed my phone to RC5.3 yesterday, and I am still getting blackout on Gallery3D... I tried to clear the data for Gallery3D, and it helped the first time I opened up the app, but then it becomes blackout again... :\
[Captivate Android Development] goonner:
Hi! Try to remove from the folder "system\app" the file "tetheringManager2.apk"

I helped
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
Thanks! working
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
yes, you need to recalibrate battery... battery life is very good on kk2...
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmmm... and I thought we were done with that problem... :(
[Captivate Android Development] Xx-Ness-xX:
It's odd, I was coming from Stock KJ3, and I did not have this problem at all. After fidgeting around the Gallery3D.apk, I found a workaround which upon launching the gallery3d, you constantly hit the back button, and then the next time you launch the gallery it will be fine. However, after a while when the phone is inactive, the gallery would blackout again. Then you would have to either force close the app and hope the next time it launch won't blackout or use my method just spamming the back button right after the gallery app launches...

It's very strange, however, my hypothesis is probably not due to the gallery app itself it might some external factors that causes the instability of the gallery app. I did swap the Gallery3D.apk from the virgin stock KK2 and also the one you provided in the addons post. The results are all the same, they still blackout.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Ddoubt, some quick things I'm noticing about RC5.3:

First, none of the lockscreens have the haptic feedback after you've unlocked them. It worked fine while I was on RC4.2.

Second, the 4 slider lockscreen only opens the stock messaging app when you slide it instead of the the default app.

Third, when the phone is plugged in and you are at the 4 slider locksreen, the readout of the current battery charge level looks like this: (%%D%) or something very close.

Fourth, my battery mods didn't work for me while running 5.2. Either it wasn't installed correctly or something, or it was something I did, I didn't have much time to check it out. Most of the CWM things I flash after a fresh rom update didn't work, like my TiBu zip. Again, possibly something funky in the kernel or whatever, I don't know.

Also you might as well include the 3.3.11 Market in the rom now, cause as soon as you start the market for the first time after flashing, it updates itself anyway.

Other then that, I'll keep testing out RC5.3 and keep reporting back.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I was just wondering, are there currently any themes for this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Every reboot live wallpaper doesn't stay. Goes back to default every time. Random apps lock up and require a force reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Hmmm... haptic feedback works only on rotary here... I´ll check with crt60... he was tracking down some bugs on the lockscreens port...

which app yor´re using? Please tell me so I can do some tests!

are you on RC5.2 or RC5.3? This problem was happening on RC5.2... RC5.3 fixed it! I just tested, everything is normal here... when you flashed, did you followed the sequence? RC5 -> RC5.2 -> RC5.3 ? Try reflashing RC5.3...

try flashing corn 5.04 (disable lagfix first!) to see if its kernel related!

I´ll include the new market and google apps on next release!

doesnt happen here :confused: I´ve just tested... which live wallpaper r your using? EDIT: tested again, blue sea, galaxy, everything is normal even after reboot...

about the lock ups, which apps have freezed? also which kernel and settings are you?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
some pink flower one she grabbed from the market. I'm using corn kernel with RFS. She said its been random apps..., she opens them and the screen goes black before it opens. It just stays black untill I force reboot it.
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
I've had similar problems with performance gradually degrading until I either have to reboot or the phone with feign a sleep death. I didn't have problems on KH3 originally, though everything since has been problematic.

In my cases, going back to KH3 didn't solve the problem either so I suspect its a recent change to one or more apps. For me the problem also tracks to a recent increase in use of Google Navigate since I've been on the road lately. The more I use navigate the faster the phone degrades into an unusable state.

I don't have a solution but I figured I'd add my two cents. Seems like a system or app level memory leak though.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
about the live wallpaper... I reproduced the issue... live wallpapers installed on sdcard wont stick after reboot... if you move them to phone everything get back to normal...

EDIT: I did a quick search and this came out:

about the freezing... it may be app related or kernel tweaks related... I haven´t messed with the base enough to affect apps... I was on samurai and now on corn + pikachu´s thunderbolt and the only blackout issue I have is on Gallery3D... try applying other set of tweaks on corn CWM... I´m messing with several tweaks to see which fits best...
