Is the apex team planning a ICS version of apex? :D
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
No. Apex is, by definition, a modification of the Samsung base ROM. The tweaks and fixes it provides would not make sense in the context of the current ICS releases.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Install the drivers. Read the readme
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Wow, how did I miss that!??! Thanks for heads up, got it up and running now! :D

Also, I was wondering now that this is running on i897 BL, does that mean I can flash i897 modems? Or must I still stick with i9000 based modems? I'm running on the stock Apex 12.4 package talon/kg3 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] darkhelmet0012:
huh

so you would suggest using semaphore over talon?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Modem must match the kernel, not the boot loaders. Unless you're using the Corn kernel, stick with I9000 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
i9000 modems generally give significantly faster data speeds FYI;)
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
It's been a few days since I've flashed Apex 12.4 and all seems to be going well. However I've noticed that the use of TW4 still freezes the phone when "clearing memory". Is this a known issue on TW4? Once again, thanks for all the help everyone! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Clambake12:
Since updating to 12.4 ive been experiencing a lot of random soft boots. It started out happening at least once a day, now its very frequent. apparently a few others were experiencing this very same thing. Anybody know any solutions or what might be causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] zemoffm:
Anyone running into an issue where you can't move Apps to SD with this ROM? I like this rom a lot, but this issue is really bugging me. I get the "failed to move application. not enough memory" error, even thought I have 13gb. I tried formatting the SD card, no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] raenye:
I noticed the same.

At first I blamed the various patches I use (RTL, PDroid) but if you're getting this on unmodified Apex then it's probably something there.

Just to clarify -- for me soft boot means the part of the boot process from displaying Apex boot animation onwards (without the bootloader AT&T bootscreen or the kernel's bootscreen).
[Captivate Android Development] Clambake12:
Yea thats what i get. I thought it was only occuring when i was connected to wifi but i think this is just a coincidence since i spend most of my time on wifi. Im going to trying leaving wifi off for a couple days and see if it happens or happens less frequently.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
My friend gets it every 15 minutes, causing her phone to randomly restart every 15 minutes. Going back to GB stock then flashing Apex didn't fix it for her. I'm gonna try to Heimdall Apex directly onto her phone over the weekend. Wish I could ODIN instead but no support for ODIN. I don't know how to make a ODIN package either :( :(
[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
Has someone tried the new KK4 Corn Kernel v7.06??
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Corn Kernel KK4 is for native, sgh-i897 roms. Apex is a re-oriented 9000 based rom. They are not compatible. Mtcarey does make a kernel for 9000 based ROMs, the main feature of it being that it uses i897 modems, giving 9000 based ROM users Audience Chip support, but no HSPA upload.
[Captivate Android Development] motiv8d365:
digital clock widget

Ok every time I press the home key the screen goes tho the weather music galleryshortcut clock thing could someone tell me how top disable the thing please
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I wasn't aware that app could respond to the home key... Tried clearing defaults for the Clock app? Or for your launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey gang! I just flashed this after being on 9.3 since it came out. Huge performance improvement!! I'm still calibrating the battery but everything has been amazing!

One thing I noticed. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not. When you set the vibrate option to ALWAYS, the little icon (cellphone with a strip of bacon on each side) appears and stays on the notification bar. When I go into silent mode now, there is no difference, which bugs me a bit. Is there any way that I can remove the icon appearing when vibrate is set to ALWAYS? And appear only when in silent mode?

Thanks for the amazing ROM!!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Remove it in JKay Themes and Settings. Been mentioned before :p

App Drawer --> Settings (Deluxe) --> Set status bar options --> Uncheck Non-silent vibration icon
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks dude!
[Captivate Android Development] darkhelmet0012:
Problem

Does anyone else have the problem that if you are touching the screen (it has to be on the lockscreen) when you get a text, the phone freezes?
[Captivate Android Development] implodeme:
Apex 10.4

Lock screen: MIUI+ (SGS2 based)

If there is a missed call swiping the phone side to unlock the screen will reboot the phone.

- Always occurs when in this situation.

- Viewing the logs for missed calls does not update the lock screen until the phone is rebooted.

- Swiping the phone side when there is not a missed call works fine and takes me to logs screen.

- After a forced reboot if left in the state where there is a missed call and I have not checked the logs and rebooted the phone battery will drain from 80% to 0% in less than 3 hours. (This happened three times so far)

- I thought BLN might have something to do with the battery drain however it has always been, and is disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys. Back with another question.

I've been getting consistent complaints about the in call sound quality coming from my side. I'm located downtown Montreal and on Virgin Mobile, but wasn't having any issues with the sound until after 12.4. I made the same calls with GrooveIP, and the sound was just fine. So it's not a hardware issue. Full cell reception too.

Does this call for a different modem or is there a fix? I wasn't sure because I can hear them fine, and I haven't dropped reception at all. Or does Virgin just really suck?

Thanks again for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
Just wondering, will Apex 12.4 be the final version? Is another release coming out in the near future?

I'm on 12.3 for a while now without many issues.. Usually I don't like to change things when things are working. There is that wifi thing that appears to be fixed on 12.4. Its not a huge deal for me.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What modem are you on?

Considering ICS is all the rage, I'm going to gues that psycho is gonna leave Apex 12.4 as the final version. There doesn't seem to be any new GB base out for I9000 in a long time now as well. Everyone is working on ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I'm not sure. I didn't switch up. If 12.4 includes one, then that's what I've used. If not, then it'll be a really really old one I used way back. How would I check?
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
Check under SETTINGS -> BASEBAND VERSION. That's your modem.

The Apex releases don't come with a kernel/model so you're generally supposed to choose a kernel/model combination package available on the download site. If you didn't do that then I guess you have whatever kernel/modem you had prior to flashing Apex.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
That makes sense. I should have known. I had the kernel, but no modem. I'm going to flash the Talon I9000UGKG3 combo.

Thanks for clearing that up for me dudes!
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
Just a quick question related to init.d scripts - related mostly to the fact that I'm new to this.

What is the general procedure to be followed (regarding init.d scripts) when flashing between ROMs?

For example - looks like Apex has inserted a few into my /etc/init.d:

S00jvudhdko

S70zipalign

S71zipalign

Obviously these are specific to Apex so if I wanted to install another ROM should I be deleting these prior to booting into recovery and performing the flash? It's my understanding that a fullwipe install of another ROM is not going to automatically clean this up. Correct?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
A full wipe is a FULL wipe. Nothing remains from the previous ROM. Your internal/external SD card(s) should be the only thing left alone.
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
For some reason I don't think I realized that /etc was part of the ROM. I guess I never noticed that it was actually a link to /system/etc. Thanks for clearing up a misconception for me.
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Hi Psych0phobia, is there any chance of porting the DSP Manager from ICS CM9 to Apex? DSP Manager makes the music sounds very very cool in ICS rom. It makes our SGS a real best music player.

I know the DSP Manager version for 2.3 GB but it sounds very different from the one for ICS, it makes the music worse.

I have tried to extracted the DSP apk file from Doc's Master ICS and installed to Apex 2.3 but have NOT succeeded.
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Have you ever tried Voodoo Control?
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Yes, Voodoo Control with bass boost is always in my usage. But you know, DSP Manager for ICS is a kind of different. The sound quality is so nice.
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
Has anybody else noticed an occasional unresponsiveness on the first swipe to unlock? (ie: it completely ignores the swipe). Second time works perfectly fine.

I can't remember if this was a general problem experienced also in the stock ROM or not.
[Captivate Android Development] rodcpierce:
are you overclocked?
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
Nope - just double checked to make sure.

I'm seeing it on both Corn and TalonDev kernels(I've not tried others). It tends to happen after I've left the phone idle for bit.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
It's just general phone lag.... I get this with a lot of gestures I give to my phone, whether it be swipe to unlock, swipe to change home screens, pressing back while in MIUI Music, etc.

I think it's time for me to switch to a dual core phone now... But which phone?? Do I join Windows or Apple? Or do I stick with Android? Starting to get bored with Android :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] rodcpierce:
perhaps raising the minimum clock speed will help??
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Off topic, but between windows phone and ios, i will pick windows phone, it runs smoother than ios even at single core, if you don't beleive me try them out at a store, the overall ui looks good, i have an ipod touch and am really bored with the ui. Also most of the apps which I use are available for wp or will be available soon.
[Captivate Android Development] c-eling:
Great rom!, Used the aio to install after flashing back to stock, had a humdinger of a time trying to figure out how to install GB bootloaders and your aio worked like a champ, thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] sRedwolf:
Do you think that would negatively affect battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Apex 12.5 Released

Apex 12.5 released. Change list:

Fixed MIUI+ lockscreen crash with missed calls.

Changed the available brightness range from 30-255 to 10-255. This means you can now set your phone's brightness somewhat darker than was previously allowed in Settings and by swiping the status bar.

Updated Google Maps, Google Play Store, and YouTube.

Updated AdAway and Voodoo Sound.

Updated busybox.

Only the update CWM package is available at this time.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
So nice to see this project still alive!! Great work Psycho! I haven't been giving my Cappy much love since getting the GS2 :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] readitodie:
suddenly GB looks so attractive
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
Exactly.

I liked Apex ROM. Best GB ROM easily. Fast and colorful.

As for catchy phrase - how about "Dead man's walking!".

BTW GSII got stock ICS. Time to port TouchWiz!
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing issues with changing the video recording resolution to 1920x720? Mine keeps giving me a black screen. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
You are using a BigMem kernel. You get more memory, but sacrifice that mode in the camera. Switch to a normal kernel and it will work.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Really? That kinda sucks.

Thanks dude!
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
Thank you very much for this! I just got my captivate back and was thinking of a nice custom Samsung based rom and I found Apex!

[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Thanks, good to know.

Apex 12.6 maybe ;)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I think it'd be 13.0. New base.
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Doesn't matter as long as it's Apex. I keep jumping between ICS,GB and this is like home coming for me. Stable, fast and the most feature filled. It's so good i never had to post for any bugs. I had some reboots, but it turned out to be one of my apps and now everythings good.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
I'll chime on this rom - I have a copy of Biohazard 4 Mobile on my phone and most other roms wouldn't run it (ICS roms excepted, but I'm staying away from those right now due to encryption). I flashed this today, booted up B4M and it started going. Wasn't expecting that, but a nice surprise nonetheless.
[Captivate Android Development] ehartqu1:
Can you flash back and forth between Apex and ICS ROMs?
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
No, not directly, you have to flash to stock first. ICS and GB use different partitions.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
He should be able to Heimdall it though.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Work computer fail
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys! I'm running 12.4 and all of a sudden most of my apps won't connect to the internet. I'll have network access, my xda app and browser will work, but Facebook won't work, all my Gapps wont work either. I've tried clearing as much info as possible. Uninstall and reinstalled apps, tried a different network. Nothing works.

Now that I have no access to the market anymore, I can't download and try Facebook. I have FriendCaster apk available, but that won't work either.

I can log onto Facebook and gmail using the browser, but nothing else.

Thanks for the help!!
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Sounds like a network issue. Try using 3G or another WiFI network.

Is there a planned JW4 release? I would LOVE to see that :D
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I've tried 3 different networks. All the same. I'm in Amsterdam now, so no 3G option. Any other ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Can you get to Facebook from the browser? Or is it just the app?
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Just the app. I can use it on the browser.

Another thing I've noticed. My phone won't keep time anymore. Using network time does nothing, and manually inputting it will work for a bit, then the time will be off again. The date is never right either.

This phone is failing me hardcore when I need it the most. I'm traveling Europe and I can't even get this thing to keep time correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Guess the only solution left for you is to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] raenye:
Yes, please!

(I have to stay on GB until PDroid for ICS matures)
[Captivate Android Development] n311.dunkle:
I've been having some major GPS issues. When i first flashed 12.0 the GPS was amazing. I lost it somewhere in the updates not sure which one. Is there any fix for this issue? Which affects GPS, ROM or kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
I've been having Superuser problems when flashing the update to the latest version 12.5. Superuser would always deny root access and when I go into superuser and change default to allow, it still does the same. However, everything works fine on 12.4...
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey. I did reflash and then I updated to the latest version. Apps work now, very inconsistent, but the time and date are horribly wrong. I'm using some African timezone to get European time. Almost missed my train once.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
The horizontal calibration is waaay off too. I'd set it flat, calibrate, and once done, the ball will be way off.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
That had happened to me several times on many different ROM Although I have never looked up a solution to it, I'm sure someone in XDA has posted a solution.

Swyped from my phone
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
For superuser issues flash the attached superuser fix. Its safe just pushes a new superuser apk.

You can install without the I897 bootloaders. I asked this before. Just search for a post about it.

After a fresh Heimdall flash to 12.4 and allowing the playstore to update on it's own, then flashing 12.5 patch the playstore was no longer installed and voodoo FC's.

Heidalled to 12.4 again, let it reboot to finish install, then returned to CWM to flash 12.5. Playstore then worked but voodoo again was corrupted and would FC.

Not sure exactly what's going on with the 12.5 flash -- Heimdalled back to 12.4 and leaving it there for now.

Anyone else have an issue after applying 12.5?

[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
This rom is excellent, I haven't ran a Samsung based rom for over a day since last June. I've been on MIUI,CM7, CM9, AOKP, I decided to try a flash back to stock do to some signal issues, and decided to try this rom, and I'm Utterly Impressed. I forgot how much louder the system volume is, and how nice the haptic feedback is on Samsung based roms. It's too bad most development has moved on to ICS, because I know that there's allot of nervousness about the "encryption unsuccessful" error. I just wanted to say thanks for a most excellent rom. Great Job!:)

Nice work. I'm back to this after every single damn ICS rom. I must say, probably one of the best ROMs out there for our device. Samsung should've put this when they put together KK4 crap.

Not at this time. It has to be rewritten and the app relies on ICS sources so no.
[Captivate Android Development] itsxiao:
sadly it's true that I always come back to Apex. ICS is just too unreliable for me and doesn't feel any snappier than people claim. I rather have daily reliability versus cool eye candy. GB is still the status quo for me

I feel the same as you. I've been running AOKP build 37 (the best ICS rom for my Cappy) but I've always had a thing for Samsung's gingerbread for our phones. This one gives me everything I was missing from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] rfarrah:

Sorry if this has been asked; I DID search first....

[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
No that's not normal, unless you don't have HSDPA in your location. What modem are you using?
