Sorry, it took me a while to figure out exactly what you meant by this. The problem is that JKay's Deluxe Settings app insists that it be installed as a data app rather than a system app. That means that when you do a factory reset, the app is removed from your phone. After that, choosing Deluxe Settings from the Customization menu will result in a force close.

I need to investigate what it will take to get JKay's settings app to play nice when installed as a system app. I'll probably do that at the same time as porting version 13.1, so it may be a while until this is fixed. In the meantime, if you do a factory reset, you can just copy the files from Apex11pb2.CWM.zip/data/app on to your phone (/data/app) to get them back.

My whole experience

First, I like Dark Core kernel better than Talon. That being said, this is my story.

***ALL DONE ON PINGUY OS 11.04 X64***

---FIRST SHOT---

1-Heimdal BigCache with I897 bootloaders.

2-(tried) Heimdal DarkCore for Big Cache.

3-Was taken to recovery (reboot system now"

4-Bootloop

5-Battery out/Unplug data cable

6-Battery in/Recovery mode

7-Flash Apex11.CWM.zip

8-Got one bootloop and then stuck on black Galaxy S I897 screen.

----SECOND SHOT---

1-Heimdal BigCache with I897 bootloaders.

2-Heimdal TalonDev for Big Cache.

3-Was taken to recovery (reboot system now"

4-Bootloop

5-Battery out/Unplug data cable

6-Battery in/Recovery mode

7-Flash Apex11.CWM.zip

8-Got one bootloop and then everything is peachy.

9-Installed TB Pro for Root and restored all my stuff.

10-Lagfix

11-Very fast and stable, almost no complaints (Absolutely need battery mod)

12-(The nightmare begins) Configured SetCPU

13-After some time with the screen off, I would need to do a battery pull because the phone just wouldn't come back from sleep. (Dumb as **** I am, I set the CPU to 100 when screen off)

14-Flashed TalonDev 5.2 1200 BigMem, set CPU to 200 when screen off.

No complants whatsoever, no lag, no FC's, APEX is brought back to life by brains and skills from this dev, back to one of the fastest most stable ROMs ever made for Captivate.

Psych0phobiA, thank you soooo much man. ;)

BTW: my battery has been messed up for about a month now, and now it's lasting about twice as much as with Serendipity VII. :D

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Question, where can I get DarkCore to flash form SGS Kernel Flasher?

Has to be the BigMem one.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm not sure on this one, but I'll double check the packages in case something got uploaded incorrectly.

Edit: You are correct - DarkCore is actually corrupting the system partition when installing the Apex CWM zip after a fresh BigCache/SmallCache install. I've modified the Installation Guide with this info and will work on correcting the issue.

There is no BigMem DarkCore that I'm aware of. However, if you're just looking to switch from TalonDev to DarkCore, you can use the CWM flashable zips here (Step 4).

Phone just won't come back from sleep.

Still needing to do battery pull after the screen is off for some time. Happens with both TalonDev Kernels I flashed and with the DarkCore on the Apex instructions.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? Anyone else having this issue?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
Is anyone else getting freezes while in the call log? I was getting it during pb1 and was hoping it would go away in pb2.

I was just trying to avoid a reflash but it's not too big of a deal. Any help would be appreciated :)

Some time I have press power button 2,3 times to wake up the phone! use Semaphore 1.9.0cbm kernel and pb2, just flash mms fix, watching sms timestamp now, everthings else ok ^^!
[Captivate Android Development] erbsmokah:
you dont need to pull the battery. Just hold volume up + power for like 8 seconds and the phone will reboot. Much easier to do if you happen to have a case. This will force a reboot from just about any state including download mode and recovery.

BigCache/SmallCache installation should now be fixed. After many tests (my poor dev phone has been reflashed so many times today...), every flash sequence in the guide resulted in a correctly working Apex installation.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
psych0phobia,

A BIG THANK YOU for following the APEX project. Will anyone be theming for you? Would love to see some Blue themes come out.

Market fix/ BigCache questions.

Can I apply BigCache on a different ROM as long it is GB based?

Does it matter if the ROM is i897 or i9000 based?

Can I apply BigCache after I am settled into a ROM or MUST I apply this "post first install"?

Where can I find the changes to the build.prop if I wanted to apply these changes manually?

I look forward to you response. Thank you for your support as well.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Brace yourself for some technical details...

BigCache is a "permanent" fix. It repartitions your device, changing the size of the /cache partition to 60MB by taking some away from /dbdata. The 60MB comes from the maximum market app size of 50MB plus 5MB for Ext4 overhead if you use it, plus 5MB for other things that wind up in /cache.

Repartitioning is a potentially dangerous operation that you undertake at your own risk. Repartitioning requires a complete wipe except for the internal/external SD cards, and therefore must be done once before installing any ROM.

The BigCache package consists of a new partition table, I897 or I9000 bootloaders, resized (and empty) cache and dbdata images, and a rudimentary factoryfs image with only /bin and /lib to allow ClockworkMod to operate without corrupting filesystems. The /bin and /lib files are taken from JVT and have only been tested against DarkCore and TalonDev kernels.

Once the BigCache package has been flashed, the device is missing a kernel, modem, and a real /system image. You could use whatever means you like to get these things onto the device (I would suggest Heimdall). As long as all three are of the same type (I897 or I9000), you'll end up with a fully functional device. However, attempting to install the base ROM (/system) through CWM rather than Heimdall has not been tested for any I897 kernels, only the above two listed I9000 kernels. It's likely that it would work fine.

After you have a working BigCache device with any ROM running, you can reflash whatever you like and the partition sizes will remain unchanged. The only thing that will not work would be using Odin to flash something that contains a dbdata image without also ticking the repartition checkbox - the image would be too big to fit and the flash would fail.

As far as the build.prop is concerned, your ROM may or may not even need the changes. If apps larger than 30MB are hidden, just check the Google Code change (hit the "+" by "modify")for details of what device configuration to use. Keep in mind that changing the device ID can affect apps that use it for licensing, such as Swype.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Hello everyone. Great thread here. I am trying to install and I'm stuck on installing the kernel. I click start on Heimdall, and this is what I get:

Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.

I looked around the read me file included on Heimdall, and under Driver installation instructions it says I should put phone in D/L mode, open up zadig.exe, choose "Samsung USB composite device" from the USB device list and click install. However, when I connect my phone, I only see "Gadget serial" and "Gadget serial control (interface 0)".

My first thought is that I don't have proper driver, but looked around and I do. I can even use AIO Toolbox to boot phone in D/L mode or Recovery.

Has anyone else come across this problem while installing and could tell me a solution? I loved Apex 10, and I want to jump back on i9000 roms after almost 4 months on 897 leaks.

Sorry for the long post.

Update:

I downloaded Semaphore CWM flashable, flashed it and now it's flashing Apex. Will update soon. Thanks for the quick reply!

Update 2: Running Apex 11! I'll give a whirl today and give feedback tonight, maybe tomorrow.

I have not used Heimdall much but I guess it does not work with normal Samsung drivers, you need libusb drivers to make Heimdall work. Check heimdall's original thread for more info.

It's saying deluxe theme is expired can someone post The updated one?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
What on earth did you do? JKay's Deluxe is not user upgradeable. If you see this message after a fresh install, then something went horribly wrong....

[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I'm running dark core kernel, and odd as it may sound, there is no Jkay's deluxe settings. Is there anything I can do to get it out do i have to change kernels ?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Hi psychophobia im using the apex for a week now i can say pretty stable i just have a few suggestion on next release the vibrate icon pops up even when the sound is on before when you choose the option vibrate always the vibrate icon is not there and only pop up on silent mode with vibrate on, so I am suggesting if possible that the vibarate icon will not show on notification when you set it on vibrate always and only pops on silent mode with vibrate. I know there is an option on the jkay app but that also remove the icon even on silent mode and making me confuse if sometimes my phone is on silent mode or not.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The next version of JKay Deluxe has the options for vibrate and silent icons separated.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Just wanted to share my experience with battery life. Real nice!

Quick question. How can i get Jkays app to customize quick toggle and power menu? I'm running dark core and don't have it. Is it exclusive of talon dev or semaphore?

I'm currently on Apex 10.1 and as we all know 10.1's GPS had taken a turn for the worse. I've read a few posts in this thread that states GPS in 11 is pretty much on par with the other Apex releases. Now my question is, can I just get the GPS files from 11 and use them in Apex 10.1? If so, how can I go about doing that?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
10.1 and 11 use the same GPS drivers. They are the only ones that have ever worked reliably for me.

My experience so far (sh-i896)

For those who are in Toronto,

Did you guys experience weird behaviour where text messages come in twice, once 2 minutes after it's sent (from another cellphone) and then again 5-7 minutes later?

Also my friends told me that the first dial to my phone goes to voice mail immediately, and the second dial goes through.

Just curious, if I'm the only one. It seems to have fixed itself after I flashed the Modem to I9000UGKG3. it seems like my battery life is a bit better.. though it might be my mind playing tricks on me.

I flashed from Apex 9.3, with Talon kernel 0.5.1-RC1 to Apex 11 pb2 and then with the mms fix with no issues.

Second question, It seems after around 19-20 hours of up time, i have to reboot the phone as it slows to a crawl, most likely due to the talon kernel and a memory leak. Anyone like to post their Talon memory fixes optimized for Apex 11? I applied universal adrenaline shot 7.5,

ZRAM - 160

swapiness - 50

And default ram.conf

I've looked into some other poster's optimizations but I'm curious what Apex 11 users use.

Edit: posted too soon, seems like double text messages isn't fixed, so potentially dailing issue isn't fixed as well... Debating whether I should flash again.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Yup its working now seems yeah it doesn't want to be integrate on the system maybe next update just install it on the data app thanks hows the apex 11.2 or 12 can't wait for it thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I've been running this ROM for aproximately 4 days, and wanted to give feedback. I don't have a lot of experience with i9000 based ROMs and the last one I used was Serenity 7 (I stopped using it because it would not recognize SIM card while I was traveling) and have been using 897 leaks since Fusion V.

First of all, installation did not go so smooth, although I have myself to blame entirely for it. I flashed Semaphore kernel and paired with this ROM has been running great. I got over 24 hours from the first charge. I tried switching to DarkCore kernel, but once I did, I lost Jkay Deluxe app and could not find a way to get it back. Once I returned to Semaphore kernel, it has been a great experience. I have not experienced slowdown related to the phone being on for several hours.

Voice quality was better than I expected. I don't know whether this ROM supports the Audience Chip, but I cannot tell a difference in call quality from this ROM to Illumincance (my go-to 897 based ROM). I have not experienced the random closes (not FC's per se) on phone.apk related to the KJ and KK leaks, and I'm glad about that. I have been using the stock browser that came with the ROM, unlike the 897 leaks, on which I use Dolphin Mini. Facebook app has not slowed down once while on Apex, unlike on Illuminance (although I suspect that was a result of Facebook trying to update on the fly while on 3g speeds).

Overall, I must say I truly enjoy this ROM and has become my daily driver. I am a huge fan of Watsa's ROMs, and Pinnacle was the ROM that converted me to 897 leaks. If it wasn't for the lack of H speeds and BLN, I would still be on a 897 leak (probably Illu 3.0). However, as it stands, I have found that the stability of Apex is on par with what I experienced running Illuminance or Fusion. Kudos to that.

If I would suggest anything, it would be that the ROM would benefit from some themes. I know the hard work that goes into themeing a ROM (I don't actually, but I know I can't do it myself), but I think that the addition of themes would help increase the amount of people who would give Apex 11 a shot.

Thanks for developing a very polished ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
So i was preparing to transfer a rom from my pc to my sd card. I mounted my sd card to the pc like normal. For some unknown reason, I pulled the usb cable out of my phone without unmounting first. I then closed everything out and remounted my sd card to the pc. When I attempted to copy over the rom zip, it was just extremely slow, like 1+ hrs to go slow. I cancelled the operation with some difficulty. When I again remounted my sd card, the pc wanted to run a check and fix on it. Reluctantly, I did it and it finished without finding any errors on the sd card file system. So I tried again with the same results. I can, however, transfer files from the sd card to the pc with no issues. What the heck? Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Copy your SD card to your computer to back it up, and format the SD card FAT32, then copy the contents back to the card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
That's what I figured. Just wanted to check for options before I did that. Do I need to remove the sd card from the phone, or can I just do it through the mount? It's one thing I haven't had to do before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
If you have a USB card reader that'd be ideal, but if not you can do it when mounted via USB.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
Backup and format complete.

Currently restoring my sd card files. Going VERY slow, just like when I was trying to copy a zip file over originally. Transfer speed started at 1.5 mb/s and has steadily dropped dowm to 176 kb/s (not a mis-type). Now is working it's way back up. Any idea why it would do this? Never had this issue before. Frustrating.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
No idea. Maybe try another SD card if you can, maybe try it on another computer to see if that makes a difference...? Are you using the HTC Incredible USB cable or aftermarket?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
It's the htc cable. The transfer rate did go back up to 1.5mb/s eventually. What is odd is that it transfered just fine from the sd card to the pc. Seems like it's working though. Around 2hrs or so for 6.45 gig from pc to sd card. Sound reasonable?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
To be honest: I'm not sure if that's good or bad, I'd have to give it a try and let you know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
Yeh, I've always claimed to be only partially retarded. :-D Never actually thought about that option. All is good now. Things seem to be working as planned. Thanks for all the input.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
While its transferring slowly, click the "details" arrow in the transfer window so that you can see what exactly is happening. Transferring a ton of tiny files (i.e. cache) slow the transfer rate down considerably.

This happened to me when Zedge had a cache leak... It transferred slowly when it got to the app's cache folder, the eta climbed up to like a hour for 2 gigs! WTF! After looking at the details i fount that there were thousands of tiny files in Zedge's cache folder that just bogged down everything as the computer recognized each and every one of them. I deleted the folder completely and all was well again.

2+ hours is a long time for 6 gigs via a USB 2.0 wire, it should be like 10-15 minutes.

I think the only major requirement is that it is not a CDMA phone. If you're in Europe, generally they have to allow you to do this. Otherwise you are sort of stuck with going through operator, or some dodgy site.

Are you doing the adb through platform-tools? It's in that folder, not tools. You shouldn't need to even do that with Regaw's or universal. You need to make sure that you have the drivers through HTC as you would to do an OTA update, but you only need the drivers and not the other HTC stuff (delete that and keep drivers folder).
