Thinking of finally trying this ROM, haven't flashed a rom in a while, still on Cezar's Continuum 4.0 (Froyo)

I see the installation instructions on the website, but wanted to confirm (sorry for the newbie question)

As the 2 installation options are either already on KJ3 rom, or coming from CM7/Miui, presuming for me (btw, my build is 1007) it should be:

1)Use Odin to flash back to Stock JF6 (via Odin3 one click?)

2)flash UCKJ3 Stock ROM with bootloaders (unpack the .rar, and use Odin?)

3)Flash Boog's KJ3 Kernel to get CWM

4)Place Illuminance_v3.0 on sdcard, use 3 button combo to reboot into recovery

5)Wipe data & cache (presuming via the option in CWM) and install ZIP

6)update to 3.0.1

Presuming as I'm flashing back to stock, and a full wipe rom, no need to worry about disabling lagfix, ext4, etc.

Thanks for any help/confirmation, just want to avoid any type of bricking :)

Feature list shows it as enabled but how do you configure it? Can you configure it for GV directly without having to go through PBXes?

Nandroid backup

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? i.e, if I were to flash another rom, then wanted to return to this one, could I reinstall Corn and restore with nandroid? :confused:

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Originally Illuminance came installed with Samurai kernel and you couldn't do a Nandroid backup, but with the Corn kernel, you can. I switched to Fusion Rom, added some themes, did a revert which messed something up, so did a Nandroid restore from the Backup I'd done earlier. No problem, worked like it's supposed to. :) Thing is, I stayed on Corn (or a version of it) the whole time. If you switched to a different kernel or to a I9000 kernel, you might need to go a few steps more, like reinstalling Corn first then restoring.

Illuminance package install stalls at "Wiping data, system..."

Greetings! I was running Serendipity 7. Decided to try out Illuminance. To be sure I had a clean start I did (with BL) -

But when I flash Illuminance, the progress bar for "Wiping data, system..." stalls after progressing about a quarter of the way. I've tried reset to factory, wipe cache, fix permissions, reinstall Stock and Boog, same result.

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

If I try to flash S7_Build_3.zip, that stalls at "Formatting system..." with the progress bar about 95% complete. Phone is then unusable until a flash back to UCKJ3/UCKK2 Stock using ODIN.

Mirror download for v 3.0 of this Rom

Here is Illuminance 3.0 for those who were interested. Uploaded to my Dropbox acct. and will keep it there for a while. Didn't have 3.0.1 saved on my pc. And btw this version 3.0 has an older kernel included. I recommend that at least KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A be installed after the successful flash of this Rom. And do search within the Rom thread or q&a for rom thread for any issues u may have. They have been discussed already within those, because this is an older rom and is no longer being supported by the Dev.

No, not exactly, but thanks for response. I've got 2 email apps on my phone. Gmail and the stock email. I like the look/view of the stock email (black background, white text, the blue highlights and division of days). The Gmail app has white background, black text and is just not as polished looking. The problem I have is that when I get an email notification in my notification bar, I pull it down and select my email and the Gmail version pops up. I'd like it better if the stock email version would pop up instead. Is there anyway to change the default from one to the other?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfaulkner29:
anyone can correct me if i am wrong (it has happened before just don't tell my wife) but from what i had read originally when i started flashing, ROMS/Kernels/Modems/etc., was that you always flash from the external_sd card. I am not sure why you do that or what the pros/cons are of flashing from the external_sd card but that is the way i understood it and never questioned it until i couldn't access it through CWM. If there is no significant reason to flash from the external_sd card then i will just continue to flash from the phone internal storage(sd card).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
While you can do this with some apps, IMO never flash a ROM from the external sd. There are to many things that can happen, from mount issues to faulty micro sd card.... While I've never flashed a zip from external, I have restored saved backups from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aglebot:
I believe that the notifications are generated by the Apps themselves, so it sounds like you have the gmail app set to send notifications but not the stock app. You can go into the gmail settings to turn off its notifications and into the stock app to turn its on.

I want to try out blitz76's AOSP lock screen. Is there a revert in case that I want to go back to puzzle unlock?

EDIT:

Actually, I have a few more in depth questions.

1) In the puzzle lock screen, there is music widget support for Samsung's Music Player (the pink one), and on blitz76's AOSP lock screen there isn't. Is there a way I can add music widget support to the AOSP lock screen, or is that something the dev decides to include or not?

2) When I plug in Samsung's factory ear buds that came with the Captivate, if I press the button on the mic it starts playing music trough SGS II music player. Can I set it so when I press the button, it plays/pauses the music I'm listening to on Samsung Music Player (pink player)?

I don't have a car stereo, so I want to control the music from the lock screen and not have to take my eyes of the road as often.

TIA!

Hi,

I´ve been using this ROM (1.1) for two weeks now, and it works great! Thanks for an excellent work!

Completely stable and smooth. Memory usage/cleanup seems better also.

The only problem I noticed is that sometimes, to set a background image, the maximum size to choose for the image (red rectangle) is the size of one screen, so the resulting background does not roll when changing home screens.

And now a question: how can I restore the Operator/Provider name to the notifications screen? Now only an empty line is shown!

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
AOSP Lock can be reverted to Glass lock. I will make the zip and upload it on the website tonight.

1. Lock screen actually have not been integrated into the system yet. I am planning to add Device Customization option in next release, that should help you controlling music from AOSP lock screen as well.

2. Actually the pink music player is from SGS2, other one is MIUI music. I think it should already do that. I will see anyways, what can be done with it.

Yes that seems to be an issue. For now you can use QuickPic to change wallpaper and choose "2 screens" option when asked. It will fit scrollable wallpaper.

Will be added in next release as I am trying to add Device customization in it. You will be able to write any text there. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
Thanks for the quick reply! Ok, so let me get this straight. the pink music player is from SGS2 and the other one is MIUI. now, if I delete miui player, could music control from the ear buds default to the pink music player?

You know what, I know the next update is coming soon and its a full wipe, so I'll try deleting MIUI music and see the results then I'll give you feedback!

Also, if you've got Titanium Backup installed, just find the MIUI app and freeze it. That way if you don't get the desired effect you can unfreeze it and no harm done. :)

Thanks, that seemed to do the trick. :)

edit: Only thing is the Gmail app seemed to push notifications when ever, whereas the stock email app you have to set up a frequency of how often you want it to check. Is that normal? Or am I not checking the right boxes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
I couldn't freeze MIUI music because that feature its only available w/ donate version. I managed to move it using Root Explorer. I'll test it on my way home.

EDIT:

I tested the factory ear buds, and sure enough, it now controls the SGS II Music Player. Now all I need is to revert back to puzzle lock screen and try it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Sorry about that, I forgot that was a paid feature (been so long ago) :o Not to be plugging apps but the freezing feature is well worth the extra. You can isolate suspicious apps to see if that was the problem and if not, unfreeze it.

I9000 GB bootloaders seems to be the problem. Flash ATT GB bootloaders. I would advise you to reflash your ROM on top of Stock KJ3 with bootloaders.

Also, ATT GB bootloaders seems to be compatibile with I9000 ROMs, so you can stay with them.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is a debatable situation, while the majoriety would say "you don't need to" there are some, like myself, that would say yes. I say it only becaues something went wrong in the flash and though you can try (without the flash back) you may still encounter underlying issues.

Just remember to format the sd, which will clear everything from your phones memory, and you will basically start w/ a new phone.(THIS, ONLY IF YOU FLASH BACK)

PLEASE WAIT FOR A FEW MORE SUGGESTIONS AND BE INFORMED, BEFORE YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS FLASH.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
It's mostly a bad flash. Goto settings > about phone and see status under Baseband, if it is unknown, you will have to flash stock first and then flash Illuminance again. You didn't get modem to install correctly and it won't come unless you flash stock.

Since you need to flash ATT GB BLs anyway, I would advise you to start with Stock KJ3 with bootloaders to have better experience with Illuminance.

Yes it does support audience chip.

Decent Task Monitor

Does anyone know of a decent task monitor which will list all the running apps, and can be used to selectively kill apps that are hogging memory? I realize one can see the running apps under the Manage Applications settings, but I am a little afraid to use that, in case I kill some necessary system app.

The reason I ask is that I have seen the phone starting to lag in previous ROMS that I used (Cognition, Darky's, Apex) after several days of use. Hopefully this ROM will not present that problem;), however, in case I encounter it, I want something which will free up RAM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
There are many app which runs in the background, no matter how many time you kill it. For example Facebook app, it keep looking for update you might have got so it keep running in background. There is nothing you can do to stop them.

And, you really don't need to kill them all. It is okay to have a few user app running in background. Samurai Kernel takes care of memory. Kyuta has set LMK setting in a way, as soon as available memory goes below ~60 MB it start killing low priority apps.
