[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Unfortunately, there are no universal settings that work for everyone. The only item that you changed from the defaults in AngryGPS was the Operation Mode. MSBASED and MSASSISTED can often result in "drift" on Captivate phones (the indicated location will slowly shift in one direction even though the phone is sitting still). This is why I left the default mode as STANDALONE. That mode takes a bit longer to get an initial lock, but is generally more stable afterwards. The problem, of course, is that exact behavior depends very much on the phone and it's location - nothing is guaranteed.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? I haven't seen any problems with Titanium on any version of Apex, and I use it on every release when testing the install and upgrades on my dev phone.

If the theme in question uses an Apex 11 framework-res.apk, then it will not work correctly with Apex 12.
[Captivate Android Development] pmd5700:
Everything on this ROM is working great. One small problem; I can't get the Auto colors on TSM to work properly. I have them enabled and different colors set for specific levels of signal and battery, but the signal and battery bars stay green all the time. I did get the battery percent mod; could that be causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The signal and battery icons do not have dynamic colors. The settings you've looking at are for the signal and battery *text*.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
psych, I'm on my third reflash and running the combo in my sig. For some odd reason, my phone always glitches in one way or another, whether it be boot loop when I restart the phone without clearing cache, sudden FCs with my apps, apps not uninstalling correctly even though I uninstall via TB, etc. Do you have any clue with what could be going on? I always reflash to GB stock prior to flashing custom ROM.

Edit: Why do I feel that I've asked this before.... I think I have. Yet the recommended solutions never seem to work? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] suresh13:
Well, If I install 12.3, (by using 12.3 full wipe or 12.2 full wipe > 12.3 update), TiBu loads fine, but is unable to restore (hangs indefinitely at the progress screen at 0%), uninstall (process completes in TiBu but app is not uninstalling correctly), move /integrate/backup (again hangs indefinitely at the progress screen at 0%), basically nothing works.

I am facing this too on 12.3. If i uninstall on TiBu, it shows in TiBu that the app is uninstalled but its still visible in launcher ( launching the app will FC, and uninstalling the app from launcher works )

Right, thanks for the answer. Guess its a No to flash that theme then.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
hmmmm..... Question: Are you also using the Semaphore kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] suresh13:
Funny you ask, but yes, i'm using Semaphore 2.5.0c kernel. Could this be the problem? Talon used to make my phone crawling slow after a day's use or so previously and I switched to Semaphore (back then) and have been using it since..
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Try SMS backup+ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync

It automatically backs up SMS / MMS to your gmail acct under an SMS label. You can restore to other devices, view from the web, etc. A very nice app for free.
[Captivate Android Development] suresh13:
Yup.. Semaphore kernel seems to be the problem. All seems fine after going back to stock, installing Talon and 12.3. TiBu works perfect now.. :)
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
If you're talking about the real bug where after hitting 100%, the phone will begin to discharge despite remaining plugged-in, all the way down to 0% (while still showing 100% the whole time), then yes... it's still present and experienced by some users even with Apex 12.3. YMMV.

Even for me, it doesn't happen every time I charge... but often enough to be a real nuisance. I grab my phone several times a week, unplug, and find it almost dead. Including this morning (it had been plugged-in all night).
[Captivate Android Development] cursedwave:
I'd like to add in that even though I experienced bootloops on Semaphore through CWM, for whatever reason, flashing through Mobile Odin/SGS Kernel Flasher hasn't given me any problems at all. Not sure if it means anything, but just thought I'd share.

Gotta say that Apex plus Semaphore has been a thing of beauty so far :D

2D and 3D perfomance

quadrant 200% times larger in 2d performance and 50% larger in 3d performance with drivers from saurom jvu instead of apex 12.3 ... and what about driver filesizes in lib/egl? very strange apex only 300-400kb each vs 1-2 mb saurom
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Third line of the features list:

Here is the original thread discussing this mod, though for Apex I used the drivers from I9020AGRK39F rather than the ones attached to that thread.

JVU drivers:

Nexus S drivers:

Take your pick.
[Captivate Android Development] outdoorsmn660:
I've read the last 10 pages and done a search within the thread, but is there any way make the ringer stay at one volume, and not start soft and abruptly get loud?
[Captivate Android Development] igoa:
sorry ... my mistake about drivers performance ... max frequency was set to different values of 800 and 1000 between tests ... at 1000Mhz max both apex 12.3 and drivers from saurom jvu (JS8 or JSD actually ) drivers nearly equal
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Launcher pro plus? Read the linked thread. The discussion centers on Gingerbread Launcher by Eugene373. That being said, feel free to use whichever drivers you prefer.
[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
Old overscroll effect?

Anybody know a way to bring back the old bouncing overscroll effect? Is it possible?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Not easily, no. It's part of the framework code.
[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
Is there any issue using the integrated contacts Twitter Account? When I added my Twitter account, the only option I could sync with Twitter were the messages.

Is this a common issue with the Integrated Twitter Contacts?

Thanks for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
MyBackup Root will backup and restore your SMS (and lots of other system stuff)... And it has always worked for me when restoring to a different ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I've now added the option to install Apex via a complete Heimdall package. See the instructions. This option will take your phone from ANY existing state and install the exact configuration that I use on my primary daily usage phone.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I will look into the possibility of enabling this as a toggle. No promises at this point, though.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
My understanding is that the integrated Twitter SNS support is extremely basic. I couldn't begin to tell just how basic, as I don't personally use Twitter at all.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I think the way to do this is to just change it to a modified phone.apk. A lot of them are modified so there's no soft ring at the beginning of a phone call.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Here we go. This CWM zip will add a new option under Settings, Sounds, Incoming Calls.
[Captivate Android Development] outdoorsmn660:
Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try right now!

EDIT: Works perfectly, Thanks again!!
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
Installed and working great. Thank you guys x1000000000

I was on Illuminance and couldn't get the preload package to flash with heimdall. So I went back to JF6, then flashed stock GB with i9000 bootloaders, then flashed reorient kernel, then the CWM preload package (Talon), and finally Apex11. I had flash the Apex11 CMW again to get root though.

Now everything is working perfectly. I'll report back with any issues, but for now I'm ecstatic!
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I just signed into my yahoo email without issue using the included email.apk in Apex 11.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
the alpha sort works on roms for our i897 phones. yes strangely enough its disabled for tw on i9000 roms. the worst part is trend continues on to galaxy s II. international galaxy s II doesnt have this feature whereas all other variants have it
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Sadly, TSM Deluxe settings always force close, even at the first time. Any idea? Although i returned JF6 and flashed Apex 11 with DarkCore kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
TSM (Team Sbrissen Mods) and JKay Deluxe are two different things. Are you saying that you can successfully launch TSM parts ("customization" in settings) but Deluxe fails? You might try launching Deluxe settings directly from the app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
and you made sure that you flashed GB bootloaders in the process?
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Sure, being on GB bootloaders. I found the solution is wipe data and reflash ROM then TSM Deluxe works.

But there is a new issue: the contacts cannot be imported from SD card, just choose a vCard file from Import/Export contacts menu then nothing happen.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
For those who are using the bigcache version can you try something for me? Go to the market and search for the following games:

Samurai II Vengeance

BattleHeart

Riptide GP

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
this is relevant to my interests.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
O.O

Unbelievable! So Google's "solution" to the problem was to hide large apps in the market for our phone.... I didn't even realize they'd done that. I guess we'll need someone to track down how to get the market to show these apps again.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Good! I thought I was the only one having this problem. I raised it in the i9000 Q&A forum and nobody understands the problem...

I even installed chainfire3d and do the market fix and STILL those apps don't show.
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
MS Exchange is a whole 'nother animal.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:

[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I've just committed fixes for these two items to our repository. I'll try to release an update CWM zip once a few more fixes are also taken care of.
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
can we use semaphore with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ehartqu1:
Can I flash this with recovery straight from 9.3?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Any JVT kernel will do.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
I just saw there still a video call reference on the end call not sure if you forgot it. It says on the website no videocall references
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
I'm not new to flashing but this ROM has given me a lot of trouble today. I flashed it over SBamboo using the Semaphore JVT kernel, and since ROMs posted here typically come with a kernel I didn't go through the whole instruction list on the website.

1) This ROM didn't wipe my data, so all of my apps FC'd all over themselves on the first boot.

2) I went and tried fixing permissions in Recovery. Still FC city.

3) I saw on the website I needed to DL a kernel, so I picked TalonDEV, flashed that, still FCs.

4) I flashed the ROM again. No better.

5) I went into recovery and chose wipe/factory reset. This fixed the FC problem. However, once I got it up and running I've had several spontaneous reboots in the first hour or so of running this ROM.

I was about to restore an older nandroid but decided to flash this one more time to see if I can get it to work.

I know part of the problem is my fault for not reading all of the download/install instructions on the website, but I think you need to point out that this ROM is not a standard flash-and-go ROM so that folks pay attention to the directions the first time. Neither the OP or the website stand out enough to make me think that something is different with this ROM. If they did, I'm sure I'd have had a better experience already.
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
when i try to back to stock, download mode works, i remove the usb cable e download mode stay works, try to flash again (get error) remove usb again (download mode stay works). Pull battery after that, balck screen ever.... hard brick? ;~~

Any help!? I try jig and not work. But Now, phone in blackscreen ever, and phone with battery stay hot and very hot.

I think is not hard brick...
[Captivate Android Development] tengtengvn:
There is something wrong with the bluetooth. A lot of static noise.

I use Corn 1.05c kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What modem are you using? You need to use the bundled AT&T modem with Corn Kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
I've been getting some battery drain.... high cell-standby usage. about 40ish minutes of display time until it dies from full to 0

running latest TalonDEV. will try to switch to Corn and see if theres improvement
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I believe I have fixed the WiFi disconnect/reconnect bug. Is there anyone who can reproduce the problem (Belkin router with infinite lease time is one example) and can install this test release to verify?
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
Not sure if this is a universal question or ROM specific but how do you assign a picture to a contact?

Sent from a phone...
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Launch Contacts, choose the Contacts tab, select the contact you want, Menu button, Edit, press the face icon.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I don't have this problem so I can't really test for you. I believe it only happens with the way certain WiFi hotspots are created and the settings that are used. I know my school uses WPA2 and login and password required to access the WiFi network and it works on and off. I guess this would be the disconnect/reconnect bug you're talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] bobgodd:
Does anyone elses phone become completely useless whenever you try to run a Corn kernel??! Tried it twice on two separate occasions and it completely soft-bricks my phone each time.
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
After i press edit there is no face icon, only name email and phone number boxes.

wow... good going psychoph0bia, the legend still continues and that too in a grand way :)

Thanks for taking it thus far :)
[Captivate Android Development] nightblazze:
Tested with dlink dgl-4500 usig dhcp registrations list that reads wireless mac address and assigns an user defined ip to the device.

Prior to the update I'd get disconnected on wifi often, every 5 to 10 minutes.

After 12.4 test build, I've downloaded 25 minutes of YouTube and a 400mb file and still no disconnects.

I would say it works! =D
[Captivate Android Development] isa.ahmed:
the phone keep restarting each few hours.

anyone face the same?
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Not sure if it's the same in this rom, but an all AT&T based ones I did it from Gallery, one of the menus for the pic is "Set as" and you can pick Contact Icon...
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Sounds like you're editing a contact that's saved to your Sim card. Those three boxes are the only ones supported for Sim card contacts. Try creating a new contact and saving it to "phone" instead.
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
For some reason that only let's me choose photos for my Facebook contacts, not contacts oh my Sim.

Apex 12.4 released

Apex 12.4 released. Change list:

Add Ascending Ringtone option to Settings, Sound, Incoming Calls

Fix WiFi disconnect/reconnect bug on certain routers with infinite lease

Update Google Maps

Update to JKay Deluxe 13.5 - Adds Wifi Tethering, Power off, Reboot, Recovery, Download options to quick panel; Bug fixes
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Any possible way to have Heimdall install I9000 bootloaders instead? I prefer it because it makes going to Recovery and Download mode easier. And it feels more stable for all the Captivates I've flashed.

Or is there a way to install via Odin? That way I wouldn't lose my I9000 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Is it possible to add "USB Tethering" to quick panel or Power Option?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Heimdall is configurable. After choosing "load/customize", just remove "IBL+PBL", "SBL", and "PARAM" to flash without boot loaders.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Does the battery mods, work with the new release.

Also the charge bug continue, or is a think of the past.

Thanks for a great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Big-J:
dial pad

Installed 12.4 and love it but one issue. Using the aosp launcher and the phone button opens contacts not he dial pad. Is there a way to change it to open the dial pad instead of contacts. The other launchers will open the dial pad instead of contacts. Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'll look into it. I vaguely recall that it might be intentionally coded that way....
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
LOVING this rom, just flashed it. Very nice work. One question though, how do the extra settings work exactly? It appears some of the settings don't do anything, like the lockscreen setting to vibrate on unlock, doesn't work. Show alarm info on lock screen, doesn't show. Which am I supposed to select if I'm using epic lockscreen, AOSP or Glass?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
yet another innovation ! great wok .. you have not answered my Q about the wif fix btw :P
[Captivate Android Development] parnz:
Me too got this issue(?) since 12.3

But I use ADWLancherEx.

Press phone icon will bring up contact list instead dial pad.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It's not an issue. AOSP launcher is sending the "dial" intent. Any dialer installed will answer to it. For whatever reason, the SGS2 dialer/contacts app responds by starting on the contacts tab. The other launchers don't use the "dial" intent, but launch the "phone" app directly. This is okay because the user can change the shortcut in those launchers.
[Captivate Android Development] parnz:
Thanks, I created a custom shortcut point it to the phone app and it works :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Damn that's a lot to choose from just so you don't flash bootloaders.

What about flashing without Talon kernel?

Is there an easy way to make an ODIN package?
[Captivate Android Development] mabovalu:
I upgraded from 12.3 to 12.4. Google Maps disappeared, if I try to download it from the Market I get an error message: Error Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.

Can anyone advise on a method to re-install Maps?
[Captivate Android Development] cangzhang:
Awesome！！！
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Does it show up in Titanium Backup?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Corn kernel is KK4 based I897 kernel. Apex is JVU based I9000. Apex and Corn not compatible. That might be your problem :)
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Wrong. Corn has two versions, one of which is for I9000 based ROMs.

However, if you're not installing from the Apex preload packages, then you may be installing the wrong version, which would most likely cause the problems described.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Thanks for the correction. I was not aware of the I9000 one. :o

RAM being consumed

Prior to APEX i had Illuminance ROM. After being up for a day or so available RAM (as per Settings\Applications\Running Services) would be often below 15mb or so.

Now on APEX 12.4 the available RAM is better but it still goes down over a day or two. I just rebooted my phone and have approx 146MB free (it bounces around a little) and phone is very smooth and responsive. Just prior to rebooting I was down to 15-22MB free and checking on and off over 6 hours I didn't see it above 40MB and it gets laggy, not-smooth.

I haven't played with the LMK settings, nor the OC apps w/ Apex. Using Talon pre package.

What explains the gradual consumption of RAM over time? Is there a memory leak somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
psych0phobia I've never been a heimdall guy, so how do I ODIN this, or am i sol?

Thanks for keeping Apex alive:D

Has anyone found a way to get decent GPS? I'm running 12.3 with Talon 0.6.0.1. It takes me a while (2-3 minutes). After lock, I lose it almost immediately. From there it just goes in and out with no real rhyme or reason.

Wifi isn't working

For whatever reason my wifi isn't working with this rom. I am coming from Apex 10 and when I try to connect to wifi it searches for a few mins then quits. Anybody else having this issue?

Oh and I did the full wipe version also

*Edit

Fixed! All I had to do was update my kernel hah!
[Captivate Android Development] mabovalu:
Since upgrading to 12.4 I am noticing some echo; hearing my own voice with a ~ 1 second delay/echo. The called party sounds perfect, and the called party says my audio is fine.

Is this echo ROM (modem) related? Or maybe network related?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
No love for ODIN. I asked before as well :(

Time to learn Heimdall!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It is stated several times in the descriptions of the ROM that the lock screen options in Deluxe Settings do not work. I have not ported JKay's lock screens. The trouble is that Deluxe Settings is very painful to modify, so I cannot easily remove the options from that app.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I do not know how to make Odin packages. While I'm not strictly against Odin, I don't really have any intention of messing with it. Surely between Heimdall and CWM, users can find a way to get Apex installed?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
At this point (version 0.5+ of Talon) there should be no memory leak present. It could be that you have a misbehaving app of some kind. Here's a screenshot from my main phone:

It shows 58 MB free after a bit over a week of uptime.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It's the last tab of the "Clock" app.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Well it's been said that flashing via CWM does not completely overwrite everything compared to flashing via ODIN. That's why it's generally believed that flashing to stock, then a ROM via CWM will yield the best results. However even better results is to flash a custom ROM via ODIN itself. Saves a lot of time and potential trouble. I myself can confirm this as I'm still having some troubles with flashing stock ROM then custom ROM via CWM. Things break during CWM flashes or something, as Apex keeps on boot looping on me for a finite amount of times if I restart without clearing cache. I've reported it before and no one mentioned anything so it's obviously a CWM flashing problem.

I don't use Talon anymore because even with ZRAM and Swappiness disabled, there is still some sort of memory leak. In fact, it happens with Semaphore as well, but it's still worse with Talon. existz said that it's a GB bug so no it can't be completley fixed. Maybe that's what he was experiencing?

Btw, RAM free/used reported in your screenshot usually differs from RAM free reported in Task Manager. Right now under applications says there is 191MB RAM used, and 71MB RAM free, but in Task Manager it says 284MB/337MB of RAM used. That means there is only 53MB of RAM free.
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
