Apex is my favr rom and I'm on Apex12.1.

I try to add Chinese language to the Contacts.apk,however I have troubles when compiling that,as:

Could u give me some advice?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
This doesn't sound right. The default e-mail icon is the white with red @. If you're seeing anything else, either something is very wrong, or you have some kind of theme applied in your launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Sounds like you need to install the framework files.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The modem/kernel are separated so that you have choice. If the main install contained modem/kernel, it would blow away whatever you chose to pre-load.

Absolutely. Instructions.

Google downloads are just deprecated, not removed. Check here.

GREAT ROM!! Best ever i have had on my cappy!
[Captivate Android Development] Elad92:
Hey, thank you very much for the extensive answer!

1. From my exprience, I find that the rom is hard to install. Tried to install it after getting back to stock (JF6), installed bootloaders, then the kernel (semaphore), the modem (UGKG3) and when I've installed the rom it got into bootloop. So I needed to install Apex older version that I had (that contains kernel and modem) and then to flash it through CWM.

I think that installing a kernel and modem of your choice is very easy, and taked 5 minutes at max.

Maybe you can make another version that contains kernel and modem.

This is just my opinion, maybe I'm the only one that think that way, I still appreciate your hard and great (!!) work, and if I'm already writing a message, I want to thank you personally for this awsome rom, my phone hasn't been so smooth and quick since I bought it (a year ago)!!!

2. Thanks for the installation link!

3. I tried to update to this version, and I got a very strange bugs, after using the phone for something like 15 min the app drawer started to crash every time I tried to open it and every app colsed herself after 2-3 min of using.

And the other bug is after I followed the download instructions for other languages, I tried to download hebrew and when I scrolled to through the list searching for hebrew, the app got stuck near the end every time I tried to reach the bottom.

Restart didn't fix those bugs. Did someone also encountered those bugs?

USB is not working

Hello,

I love this ROM. I always have. But there are some issues I have had upgrading to 12 and 12.1. All the below were working fine until the move to 12.

1. I can't connect to USB storage on 12.1. I upgraded from 12.0, from where I could access the USB storage, but cannot now. It wants me to format it. I have too much musing on there to do that. Under Storage settings, everything is blank.

2. Caller ID on most numbers still doesn't work. Some will, some will not. Sometimes it shows just the phone number, but not the contact.

3. Shows charged on lock screen regardless of percentage.

4. I cannot get Facebook to work at all. I have tried uninstalling and re installing the app too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I attached some screen shots as well. Other than that, thanks psycho for continuing this ROM. It is awesome and you do a great job bro. KCCO

Having FC with the phone using Apex 11.1
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Agreed. From the pictures, I can see quite a few images and icons that are not from Apex. I'm not sure how they got that way, but I'm reasonably certain that the framework files have been changed in a way that is most likely causing the majority of the issues you're seeing.
[Captivate Android Development] wjohnson:

Yep....back to the lab again....Reflashing

Reflashed back to 12..Talon 1st, then ROM. Everything is normal again.....WooHoo

Apex ICS

Hi.

I was reading at gsmarena.com that samsung will not do the ICS update to SGS i9000, and Captivate.

So here is my question: You'll do a ICS version for APEX ?

Sorry about my english!

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Not out of the realm of possibility, but not very likely either. I work from bases that are released (leaked, mostly) by Samsung. Also, word is that this device doesn't realistically have enough RAM for ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
How is it possible that teamhacksung has a working port for the captivate?

Edit... don't get me wrong. I love the work you guys do.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I never said it wasn't possible. Not enough memory doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that it doesn't necessarily work WELL.
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
OK gotcha. Just curious is all. By the way, this rom runs awesome with the talon. 6.0.1 kernel. Very snappy. Awesome work.
[Captivate Android Development] n311.dunkle:
So, you're right. It's go launcher. I'll get with the developer. The correct icon still shows in touch wiz 4 (which is pretty nice, never tried it before).

Another topic: how do I prevent my ram from being eaten up. Task killers don't do the trick. I might be using the wrong ones but I was hoping for suggestions. Your ROM still runs incredibly smooth even when I have 44mb of free ram, but I'm sure I can tweak something. Just don't know what.

[Captivate Android Development] kherryl:
How do you perform screen capture on this ROM? New to Apex 12.1 and what I've mostly seen is that they fixed the FC issue with it....
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
First, add screen capture to the power menu using Settings, Customization, Edit phone options. Then just arrange your screen how you want it, hold the power button, and select Screen capture.
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Mine is the same. It happens everyday with internet browser. The browser works very smoothly but sometime freezes the phone. I think the problem come from the RAM amount, it is not enough.

So i have to return to Froyo 2.2 although it's not as modern as 2.3 :(

I love APEX so much, my only 2.3 choice is always APEX, it's great ROM but the Cappy seams doesn't have enough hardware spec to work with. I hope that psych0phobia can solve this.

Thank you. This ROM keeps getting better and better lol
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
This rom is great but I have two issues.

1. The status bar force closes when toggle the "screen on". Shortly after, the status bar comes back up.

2. I use the firefox browser sometimes and I notice that it gets frozen everytime it starts up. It gets stuck there for a while, and then the phone reboots itself.

I'm using KC1 modem with the darkcore kernel package.

Apex 12.2 released

Apex 12.2 update released. It's the XXJVU base. See the change list for info. The full install CWM will be available soon. The battery percentage mod needs to be updated for 12.2, and will also be available soon. All other mods should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
How'd you go from JW1 to JVU without doing a full wipe? Thought these base changes usually require a full wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Apex 12.2 Full install CWM is now available. The Battery Percentage mod has also been updated for 12.2.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Psych: is there something wrong with 12.2 link, tried 3 times on computer and twice on phone. It just sits there and doesn't download. CWM Update worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
All Apex download links are working as far as I can tell.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm not really sure how to answer this.... The captivate is just a computer that happens to make phone calls. I don't really see the need to reformat just to upgrade a few apps and replace some shared libraries. I certainly wouldn't do that with any other computer to upgrade the software or system.

The only reason Apex 12 was a full wipe release was because I re-signed a lot of system level apps. Part of the Android security system involves checking app signatures against their original values and rejecting apps that don't match. I probably could have figured out how to reset the signatures, but it was easier and cleaner just to force a wipe.

Beyond that, the only thing I can think of that would force a wipe would be if something on the data partition ended up not being compatible after an upgrade. I'd be pretty surprised if that were to happen at this point. Across major upgrades like Froyo to Gingerbread to ICS, sure - but minor releases of GB, not likely.

[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
On both 12.1 and 12.2 I am having major issues with Navigation. When I start Navigation the GPS powers up and starts to search. I then select the address I want and the black Navigation splash screen comes up before it starts showing the map. Without fail every time I have gotten to this point more than a couple hours after a reboot, Navigation fails to move past this screen indefinitely, GPS will not lock, and my phone becomes mostly unresponsive. The Back button will not work and even though the home button works, my phone slows to a crawl and I am unable to exit properly from Maps. The only thing that gets my phone back to normal is a reboot. Sometimes Navigation force closes and saves me the pain of another reboot.

I just tried it now as I am typing this and, again, it is happening. Anyone else having this issue?

Apex 12.2, Darkcore Kernel, lagfix enabled

EDIT: Navigation just force closed and after the screen turned off it won't come back on now...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Try switching to Semaphore kernel. Darkcore never ran well for me. I use Navigation once in a while and never experienced your problem. If all else fails, do a complete reflash of your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
Actually, this morning I found a new version of Maps available on the Market. After downloading the new version, the issue is gone.

I will check out Semaphore though because I haven't had a lot of luck with Darkcore or Talon. Thanks for the tip.
[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
What issues are you having with Talon? Other than a very rare lag within an app, I don't have any issues I would relate to kernel...
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
After about 24 hours my phone starts to lag and it continues to get worse until I reboot the phone. Am I saying that Talon is not a good Kernel? No. Am I saying that my phone is a piece of crap and seems to have issues with ROMs, Kernels, and Modems that others don't have? Yes.

I just tried Semaphore, but doesn't seem to support netfilter, so I can't use Droidwall. Back to Darkcore I go...
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Semaphore supports netfilter, you can enable it with Semaphore APP.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm having trouble with this rom. Not sure if this is common but everytime i get done using the phone (place or receive a call) warning pops up saying phone.android....stoped working and gives the option to FC. I wait a few seconds and it works again.

Other than this slight problem, this rom is definitely going to be my main driver at least until ICS is more stable.

I've used TiBu to restore my apps since I can't get them installed from the market.

Any help would be appreciated.

FYI, I followed the flashing instructions to the tee!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Reflash. Make sure you didn't restore system apps. If you did, that would explain why it FCs.

As for the market apps, wht do you mean you can't install them?

[Captivate Android Development] brievolz84:

I know this is obvious to most however I have, in the past made the mistake with Tbu of restoring system related stuff like contacts/wifi and accidentally restoring the app AND data; where on these apps only the data should be restored.

Apex 12.3 released

Apex 12.3 released. Change list:

Added swipe-to-dismiss notifications (ported from CM7)

Added boot-time script to zipalign user apps

Fixed battery icon always showing regardless of its setting

Fixed custom message missing after boot for pattern lock screen

Fixed squashed clock text on certain lock screens

Renamed Circle lockscreen to Galaxy Note (Circle)

Removed low battery warning in VideoPlayer app

In the spirit of keeping the ROM's stock look, and due to the black screen issues during boot with some kernels, removed the custom boot animation - it is now available as a mod

Set release keys to UCKK4 (latest official I897 release)

Updated APN list

Updated AdAway and hosts file

Updated Maps

Updated busybox

Also, many more kernel/modem packages are available, and the default modem has been upgraded to UGKG3.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Thank you for making the apex rom better and better, Psych0phobia.

Do you have the plan to embede Google Music widget in the lockscreen?

At the moment msuic control widget will appear on some lockscreens(as Rotary Revamped) while Google music is playing , but cannot control.

I think this would be amazing, since Google music is much better than sotck music player.

Hi, psych0phobia

Stock battery with percent in the OP for 12.3 but linked to BatteryPercent.12-0.CWM.zip

It compatible version or the link is wrong?

Thank you :)

[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The links are correct as labeled on the mods page of the website.

12.3 uses the same framework resources as 12.1 and 12.0.
[Captivate Android Development] brievolz84:
I did this, after backing up my contacts to my tablet, and restated the phone. It still fcs!

I think I'll back everything up and flash to 12.3. Then do just do a program restore instead of the system apps restore. then copy my contact backup from my tablet. See if that fixes it.

Have you tried flashing the original mail.apk in the OP? Try that first and see what you get. I used GO Contacts for a minute, but it just made my phone so slow. I know moving from ROM to ROM my mail would do the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] FreddieP:
Update order?

What order should I update from Apex 12.1 w/ darkcore if I want to get to 12.3 w/ the Talon pre pkg? Talon kernel/modem pkg first then Apex 12.2 then 12.3 update pkgs or Apex pkgs first then kernel/modem?

Thanks for the nice ROM and your support! I came from an i897 based ROM that would over a day or two have almost no RAM available. Apex w/ the same app load re-installed is much more stable.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Order won't matter for that upgrade. All the parts are compatible. Just download all three to your SD card, and install them all in the same CWM session. As long as 12.3 comes after 12.2, you'll be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Don't do that. Use Google sync or an export. Attempting to restore databases across ROMs is a leading cause of force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] mabovalu:
I am on 12.2, it is working well for me and I have no issues. Thank you very much for all your efforts.

If I "update" to 12.3 will I have to restore apps., contacts, sms, calendar, notes, email accounts?

Are there any themes that are known to work with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
No. An update is the opposite of a wipe. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] FreddieP:
Worked great! Thanks.

On first boot most of my apps previously installed to SD card were unavailable. I rebooted and they were available however market links weren't present. I restored market links via TiBu.

For overclocking is it as simple as selecting the speed in the OC app? should I be concerned with UV settings as well?

Maps missing

After trying few others, I can say that the Apex is the most robust ROM I've ever installed on my Captivate. Really enjoying it, thanks for your efforts.

However, I'm having a little issue with the latest update; my Google Maps are missing.

TiBu warned me about restoring a system app, when I tried the backups I've created before the update. After seeing you've updated the maps in the release history, I thought it might be wrong move and cancelled.

Should I install the Maps from the Market, or is it safe to use my TiBu backup?

BTW: I was on v12.1 before the update. I put the "from 12.1" and "from 12.2" updates on sdcard, and applied them both in the same CWM session ("from 12.1" first, then "from 12.2").
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
I just realized by "charge bug" you probably mean where the phone "forgets" to top up it's charge after hitting 100%

That also I have not had is several releases.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Maps shouldn't really care. The easiest guaranteed way to make it work is to uninstall it completely and then just use the most recent Market version.
[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
Overscroll effect?

I've installed the latest version from the market, and everything is working fine again. Thanks for the help.

Hi.. I've been using this rom since it first came out, and I actually never used gps at all till just now. I realised that the GPS is bad using the provided modem/kernel package. As in very bad. I get a lock extremely fast, and then lose the lock and hardly ever get it back. Whereas in CM7/ICS/MIUI gps works very fine for me (i just use the provided modems, i never change modems). Does anybody else have this???

Update: I tried the latest kg3 packaged modem, and it was the same, till i opened angrygps and changed the settings to this (got it somewhere here quite some time back, cant remember where)

1. Make sure GPS is turned on.

2. Open dialer and dial *#3214789650# or *#*#3214789650#*#* to start AngryGPS

3. Settings -> General Settings:

* Test Mode: S/W Test

* Operation Mode = MSBASED

* Start Mode: Hot start

4. Settings -> SUPL Settings

* Server FQDN Type: Custom Config

* Server: supl.google.com

* Server Port: 7276

* Server Type: UMTS SLP

* SUPL Secure Socket: ON

* AGPS Mode: SUPL

* SSL Type: Google Server

And it seems to be much better now. I have yet to try this while driving.

Another thing, I updated from 12.2 to 12.3 and TiBu doesnt work when i want to do anything, but the app opens. I tried to duplicate it by flashing 12.2 again, then updating to 12.3 and same thing. I'm now downloading 12.3 full wipe and going to try, anyone else has this??

Why don't you try SMS backup and restore? I've been using it across Froyo/GB/MiUi/CM7/ICS and had no probs so far.. Only gripe is it can't keep MMS though..

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en

On a lesser note, is it safe to flash the ICS theme by chazkenji, which is for 11.1? I would like to think that the framework changes and other changes are a lot between that and 12.3 so... erm.. any idea guys?
