I cant for the life of me remember but I read somewhere that unchecking the "automatic" setting in "date & time settings" stopped that part from oversyncing and draining battery. I have had mine unchecked for a while and seems to help some. Might be worth a shot. oh I usually 19% +- 1-2% on my phone idle at pretty much all times
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
That was me in "phone awake" thread.

What it solved for me was the chunks of time phone is awake(when screen has been off) are extremely reduced compared to when the setting is checked.

Only thing is that once in a while(mainly after bootstrapper use or a battery pull) the date/time is messed up. Easily fixed by turning the setting on for 5-15 seconds til it fixes itself and I turn it back off ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] ImgBurn:
Ash,

Yea discovered that today when I put in new class 10 16gb sdcard. No worries easy fix like you said super find been

using your discovery

for a week know working great.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Ha ha right you are lol....I was mistaken about what it fixed. Thought the awake and idle were the same thing.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Well it MAY help with that. Im not sure how that works.

I assume if the phone keeps waking up for long chunks of time while "idle" I.e. screen off not doing anything else, then I assume that would drive up the idles battery consumption.

Also. The rebooting after any charge helps tremendously with idle.usage as well. Especially when coupled with my "fix" about not using network time settings.
[Motorola Droid X2] raclimja:
i have the same issue

is there any fix to it?
[Motorola Droid X2] germmeetsworld:
Quick question...if I have Eclipse 1.3 with the pulldown toggles, is Juice Defender even necessary?

I ask this because one of the toggles is data. If I just toggle that on and off myself, it seems like Juice Defender would just be unnecessary.

yea i use it too :) very good stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bnielsen40:
I also prefer Swipepad over wave launcher. I really wanted to like wave launcher, but it kept getting in the way of other actions, like the dockbar shortcuts and sliding the notification bar back up.

Is there a way to change from where it launches, like you can with Swipepad? I couldn't find the option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
The UI from Swipepad is ugly
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdude486:
I just flashed Oxygen 2.3.2 (with Oxygen stock kernel) and it has a handy device sub menu where you have some control over back light notification (back light timeout and blinking)

BLN mod is not installed according to the BLN control app, and NStools shows the same. I'd assume this means the mod is not implemented into the kernel.

NSTools does however have a sub menu entitled 'CMLed' which I can acsess (with back light timeout and blinking options, same as in the Oxygen devices menu). And this is what I'm wondering...

Whats the difference between CMLed and BLN? Are they separate implementations of the same idea?

Sorry for the long winded post, hopefully someone can clear this up for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igotsanevo4g:
I have been wondering the same thing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
BLN is the original backlight notification, made by Neldar.

CMLed was made by Cyanogenmod team not too long ago.

They're pretty much the same in terms of usage though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
So we can customize the blinking and everything with cmled? I'll have to give it a try..

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
I'm at home on wifi and have turned off mobile networks yet the damn H/3G icon stays on next to my wifi icon. I've noticed this before where they are running simultaneously even though mobile networks are turned off but I never worried about it until I switched to a 2 gb data plan. I have been heavy on tethering early on in this months billing cycle so I don't want any extra data used when I can help it. I am sure its not using much data but it pisses me off when **** doesn't work right. Is there a running service that might be turning on my data even though I manually turned it off? If so, why can't running services rely on wifi rather than mobile data? I've done all the normal things such as restarts, etc. yet it keeps happening...Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:

Apex 12 - The Legend Continues

Apex Team

Development: Psych0phobiA

Testing: d_gritza, eep2378, gcamp0730, IlluminatedOne

Disclaimer: Apex team cannot be held responsible for loss, damages, or any kind of issue whatsoever that could arise from installing this ROM.

NOTE: This is a Gingerbread ROM. You need Gingerbread bootloaders!

NOTE: The Apex CWM install does not include a kernel or modem. These must be installed from a separate CWM package.

This is the continuation of watsa's discontinued Apex ROM. Now with even more SGS2!

Apex no longer includes Adobe FlashPlayer because the newest version fails when integrated into the system ROM. Please download it from the Android Market if you need it.

Apex also no longer includes SamsungApps by default. It can be found in the extras section.

Current release: Apex 12.5

Home/Features: http://apex.merseine.us

Screenshots: http://apex.merseine.us/screenshots/

Installation: http://apex.merseine.us/installation/

Change Log: http://apex.merseine.us/history/

Known issues:

Screenshots sometimes include a faded Phone Options menu, even though the 1.5s delay means it's long gone from the screen. I have no idea how to fix this.

Extras:

How to install Swype languages

Wallpaper packs

SamsungApps.apk (2.6.149)

Stock battery with visible percentage (CWM - works for all 12.x versions except 12.2)

Stock JW1 Email (CWM) - Use this if you're having trouble with Exchange accounts

Stock TW3 (CWM) - includes icon backdrops

Apex TW3 (CWM) - no icon backdrops

TouchWiz icons for Contacts and Messages (CWM)
[Captivate Android Development] parnz:
Didn't know watsa discontinued his greatest rom *SHOCK*

btw thanks for keep apex alive :)
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Good job buddy!

Wish we could have been of more help, but you have EVERYTHING under control :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i wouldnt call tw aplha sort as known issue. the tw on i9000 roms lack this feature for some strange reason. you can try tw from latest kk2 leak or else people have appzorter as a solution. let me know if u need help in solving other known issues
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
Does this rom support BLN? That seems to be the only feature really missing from the latest crop of i897 roms.
[Captivate Android Development] nm131:
Awesome!!!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
BLN is a kernel support issue, not a ROM issue. Talon definitely supports it, and I believe DarkCore does as well.
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
excellent! thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] saobang3886:
Great! I will try it now!
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Does the browser in this rom still use any hardware acceleration?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
+1 both Talon and Darkcore kernels support BLN.

Came from Apex 10.1 to 11 with no issues. will start testing now.

I am sure it does

ahhh finally my drugs after a long rehab with other rom nothing satisfy my hunger ;p
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
This is awesome!

I'm a little confused about Watsa's comment though...you can install the KK2 TW3 on a JVT rom? It will work?

Also anyway of getting the same messaging/contact icon from Apex 8,9,10 into 11? I'll do it if you tell me how :)
[Captivate Android Development] breezeli:
Sweet!

Nothing like a new rom to kill a Sunday night!
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
Thanks for keeping this ROM alive. Wish someone would do the same for Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I actually left that one out because the existing one is in keeping with the SGS2 theme. All you would have to do to replace it would be to open Mms.apk in, say, 7-zip and drag in a new ic_launcher_smsmms.png.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It is the JVT browser with some minor tweaks. Assuming that the JVT browser is hardware accelerated, so is this one.
[Captivate Android Development] saobang3886:
I install, the first time I can use TSM setting, but after that, I wipe all and when setup complete in first boot, I can't go to TSM setting ( Deluxe ) again, it forclose! any tip for fix it? or I need reflash rom again?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Welcome to Apex! Psycho, and the rest of team will be continually working to improve Apex 11.

As far as themes go. Perhaps we can get a matted blues port for Apex 11......(cough.....Froli.....cough). Where you at Froli? :D
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
This "fix" will not be included. The only setting in H3llstorm's gps.conf that is not already the default in Apex 11 is to enable Wifi-based positioning. This option is under Location and Security in the Settings app. Enabling it will probably allow you to get a "lock" faster, but has no bearing on the actual GPS performance.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Froli seems to be enjoying CM7 these days... Let me try to get him back home to Apex :)
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
If you didn't do it as part of Apex 11 installation, you probably want to flash the 0.5.2.5 version of Talon. That version improves the memory leak issue considerably, allowing the phone to go without a reboot for much, much longer. The default MemoryFreak settings for 0.5.2.5 work great (for me at least).
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I9000 based ROMs do not have Audience chip support, which really only affects what the person on the other end of the call hears (if I understand it correctly).
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
It also matters for Voice Search accuracy, if you use that (you should if you don't!). It doesn't care what it is wearing either. The only place this really effects me is in the car when at freeway speeds. It does help there.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Please do, Matted blues/orange would be a welcome addition Apex 11! Thanks.

Edit: Hey bro, how you liking the Note?
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
Aren't i9000 ROMs also supposed to have crappy battery life too? I mean I didn't use my phone much over the last few days and I only got 58 hours LOL!

Voice Recorder App FCs

Anybody noticed a bug in the Voice Recorder app?

When you play a recording and try to change the volume the app force closes.

Not a big issue but if anybody can fix this please let us know.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I can confirm that when playing back a recording if you try to change the volume it FC the app. Again not a big deal but would be nice to get it fixed
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Noted. Most likely caused by the SGS2 conversion. I should be able to fix it for the next release.

Edit: Fixed. If you need it, grab the fixed .apk and replace the existing one in /system/app using your favorite root explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
i would have to agree with psych and more on this.

[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Thanks psych0phobia that fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:

[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Fixed. Download link is the same as before.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Finally works fine, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] lorendroll:
Great ROM, but I've got a weird sound transmission in calling. my voice sounds like It has low bitrate. Sound recorder works much better and I hear a clear recording. It seems problems appears because of modem. should I try flashing any different version?
[Captivate Android Development] nightblazze:
Hello,

I use tasker to automate some tasks and it's indicating that in android 2.3+ google disabled apps from turning on gps and indicated to use a rom like CM which disabled the limitation.

Are there any plans to remove this limitation on apex?

I think it was removed in apex 9.3 as my tasks worked back then.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Hi, Psych0phobia,

Do you have the plan to make an ICS theme? That will be cool.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well, finally made the jump from Apex 9.3 to Apex 11 beta 3. A couple things:

1) Cosmetic bug: the [Move to USB storage] button on an app should be changed back to [Move to SD] like other Captivate ROMs as that makes more sense

2) Any chance for a patch/mod to get the battery icon with the % embedded in it like we had for previous versions of Apex? (this has been asked twice before in this thread but without any response). I know I can get the % alongside the battery icon using the options but that uses twice or more the space on the notification bar, and I (like others) preferred the icon with the % laid on-top of it.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
For battery icons, you can simply use UOT kitchen and get any kind of battery mod you like.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I have prepared a battery percentage mod that will be released as an addon to 11.1 (some time this weekend).
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
No. This is not a limitation - it's meant to be that way. "Disabling the limitation" is actually enabling a security hole in the power control widget. Read a brief discussion of it here.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm sorry, but I do not have plans to provide themes for Apex, personally. I just don't have the artistic skill and time to devote to it. I'd be more than happy to host theming efforts provide by others, though.
[Captivate Android Development] nm131:
any one have reboots? I've everytime I tried to load game data (NFS hotpursuit,Gameloft,...etc)

Any fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Maybe. My first time restoring all my apps after installing Apex 11 I was getting constant reboots when trying to start up. So I flashed clean again and have only restored a handful of critical apps this time (and no games). No reboots yet, but perhaps the same thing you were seeing.

When was your phone rebooting?
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Disclaimer: I know of no revert back to stock battery, other than reflashing. I did this for myself and wanted to share, but once you flash this, I know of no way of going back.

[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys, I have a question. I'm still running Apex 9.3 on my device and Swype just expired for me.

I've obtained an apk of the newest version, replaced the current one with Root Manager to the latest one, rebooted, and got none stop FCs. I replaced it with the old one, and it's back to semi working. Any idea on how I can update it?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] lorendroll:
uninstall it via titanium backup reboot, install as normal apk any version you want,
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for the reply! Tried that, but the newer Swype didn't work. It kept showing me half an oversized keyboard, but I couldn't select any of the options. Ideas? Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:

[Captivate Android Development] Aztecbandit:
Sorry, I forgot some GSII's use those icons, I'm talking about the icons that were on Apex 10, you know the TW4 icons that samsung didnt bring over from TW3

Like here:
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
These icons are now available as an extra in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Apex 11.1 now available. See OP for links, including Battery Percentage mod and TouchWiz 3 variations. Sorry, still no lock screen updates. Change list is here.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Nice! great work, psycho :)
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
Thanks for so good rom.

but with 11.1, the new camera's SCN option is grey. Would you please fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Is anti-shake or auto-contrast on? These options disable scene mode.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
ah, I have turned anti-shake on.

Now, the camera works fine. Thanks.

One other question, the SCN option is always grey in video recorder, is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Yes, this is normal. It is the same in the default I9000 camera.
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:

Any way to get a regular dock along the bottom with the sony launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] minotaur507:
Psych0phobiA-

I just wanted to say job very well done on this ROM...when paired with the Talon kernel, this is by far the most stable and most responsive ROM I've tried (and I definitely lean toward stability having run Andromeda, Continuum, and some of the more mature ROMs).

Any chance at adding in the extended shutdown pop-up with boot to Recovery, boot to Download, etc.?

Thanks in advance, and again very nice work!

Edit: Nevermind...just found JKay Deluxe with the latest load...I guess it wasn't running on beta 3...awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I have to say... thank you so much for offering an update that brings you from the betas. I was all prepared to do a full wipe install and then noticed this. So much easier!
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
i'm not sure if it's just me but every time I use a JVT/JVS ROM my WiFi never works properly. It always disconnects then reconnects all the time. This is the reason why I didn't use apex 10 because it was the same bug that i'm having now. I wonder if it's just my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
It's a JVS/JVT bug. Though WiFi works fine for me all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
JKay Deluxe settings has been included in all Apex 11 releases. However, some people seem to have had issues where it wasn't showing up properly. Apex 11.1 added a bit of script to ensure that it will reinstall itself if it disappears.

However, those people who choose to do a factory reset AFTER installing (I really don't understand this mindset) are not only wiping JKay Deluxe, but also some of the packaged apps, such as Polaris Office, Windy/Ocean Weather, and the free "control" type apps.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
I'm on pb3. Will the 11.1 update file wipe my phone or will it just install over?

Tried ICS and decided I needed to wait for them to get a few more bugs worked out, so I came back to Apex :)

Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The full install will wipe, the update will not.
[Captivate Android Development] spacecase-25:
Currently running with the semaphore kernel and i9000 bootloaders. I originally flashed the att bootloaders from the apex 10.x download (which I think you should consider doing a similar downlpad ... with all the tools and zips included) and was experiencing freezes when using the web browser. But I flashed the i9000 boot loaders (mainly because I'd be able to tell if it worked) and everything is running tip top now. Thank you very much!
