[Captivate Android Development] rfarrah:
Did one come with the ROM? If not, I'll have to check her phone when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
Yes it should have an h up there.

Sent from my cappy using tappy...
[Captivate Android Development] rfarrah:
Okay, here are the specs:

Firmware: 2.3.5

Baseband: I897UCKK4

Kernal: 2.6.35.7-UCKK2-CL614489
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
That modem don't support HSUPA, it is a I897 base and you're kernel.

Are you install Apex?

If yes I recommend to install a I900base kernel like Talon and a I9000 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] rfarrah:
Thanks! So if I understand you correctly, I need to change the kernel and the modem.

In the Captivate, do I simply flash both? No special instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Yes just change the kernel and modem, but are you using Apex. Do you install the kernel and modem, that kernel and modem combination it's not the default ones of Apex.

In the sticky section you will find the modems thread. Talon you can search in the forum. There is other thread with modems and a map with the best modem by location. I'm on my phone and can't attached the links.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Actually, to correct your statement, that modem DOES support HSDPA but not HSUPA. Which means that you do get "H". But since you aren't running it with the right kernel that modem won't work. Grab an i9000 modem such as KG3, JL3, etc. and flash that.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Please refer to the second big red note in the OP. If in doubt, use the Talon non-bigmem version.
[Captivate Android Development] implodeme:
Do you plan to work on a ICS rom? I'd follow given the recent history with Apex 11,12.

Thanks for the great ROM. Gave my phone the extra life it has needed.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Actually, I've switched to SlimICS on my personal phone. It's fairly unlikely that I pick up ROM developing again... it's a lot of work! :-) My time is too limited at the moment for that kind of devotion.
[Captivate Android Development] schilkemusic:
I really love this rom, flash ics and return to apex, the oly problem is in the screenshots appears the numerics pages indicators and i cant have it. someone tell me how?
[Captivate Android Development] implodeme:
Heya,

SlimICS is working pretty good. Only thing I miss is the Camera from your ROM.

a) What camera mod did you use?

b) where can I get it, assuming it will work on ICS?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It's Samsung's default GB camera with a few hacks. Unlikely to work with ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] n311.dunkle:
I recently did a full wipe and re flashed apex 12 because my phone stopped getting signal all of the sudden. Maybe I only needed to flash the kernel again but I did the whole bid. Now I can't download anything from XDA links to the internet. I'd it possible that I'm missing something in my ROM or does it sound like something is wrong with the browser?
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
I guess to make TeamViewer QuickSupport working on our devices, we need that APK signed with platform key, i guess?

So, where can we get this key?

As i suspect, original samsung key lost during deodexing?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I can't say anything about Team Viewer, but the Apex key is checked in to source control. I'll see if I can dig it up when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
> but the Apex key is checked in to source control.

sorry, what?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. However, what you did should have worked fine. The Apex11.CWM.zip file absolutely should be a wipe install. The script contains the commands to delete all files in /system, /data, /cache, and /dbdata. Your kernel was already Apex compatible, so that one flash should have been all that you needed.

I do not know how to explain the rest of what you saw, as your very first step was a correct one.

For clarity, I did add a note about the kernel/modem being separate.

Edit: Looking at the Apex 10 install script, I see that the deletes actually happen twice in two different ways. I'll update the Apex 11 script to do the same. Hopefully this will solve issues when installing directly from other ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] 7JS14:
Custom bootanimation for new Apex

It's awesome to see that Apex development is still up and running!:) I no longer have a Captivate, but have installed this rom on one of my friends phone. So far it's looking good, aside from the missing features from the previous Apex.

I have created a custom boot animation that goes very well with this rom and wanted to share if anyone would like to try it or possibly if psych0phobia would add it to the rom if he really liked it (by the way, congrats on the rom). This was requested from the friend I put the rom on, it runs good on his phone, I'm not sure if it will be the same for other phones. If anything, I'll try to uploade a lower quality (smaller size) version if requested a lot.

So yeah, enjoy my bootanimation and keep up the work psych0phobia! :cool:

Preview (half size and speed) actually performance on phone is better --- 480x800 @ 60fps / 5 seconds

Side-note: for those who haven't seen my Matted Collection GO Launcher Themes, it would be great if you checked it out.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Stumbled on the fix for this. A tweak to the build prop to put it more in line with SGH-I987 rather than GT-I9000 takes care of the problem. Will be in pb2.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Im getting reboot while on call maybe after 30 - 40 while my wifi is on when its off its not rebooting happens on all the kernel for me.
[Captivate Android Development] sc30002:
How am I suppose to get to recovery menu after flashing the Talon CWM Pre-Flash, I get the Bootlooping of Talon and tried arrowdown-power, also arrowup-power and both with power and neither get me to recovery menu. All it does is bootlooping of Talon then to ATT logo screen, Im coming from Fasty 1.3 rom.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
If you are on I9000 GB bootloaders, then hold VOL UP and POWER. If you are on I897 GB bootloaders, then hold VOL UP, VOL DOWN, and POWER.

If neither of these work, then you probably don't have Gingerbread bootloaders. You'll need to get those installed.
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
NooB Question!

So, i was on apex 10.1 so i`ve tired to wait apex 11 and decided to try ilumiance with samurai kernel!

So i'll do the teh apex page to flash my capy!

HERE IS MY QUESTIONAfter flash and after phone is running ok, with APEX, i'll could flash normaly the flashable talondev updates?

Tahks!

p.s: I`ve told you!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Once Apex is up and running, you can use whatever kernel you like (assuming it's i9000 based for the i897, of course). Just install the updates as instructed by the kernel devs.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Just wanted to follow up and say that it has been running without incident the rest of the day until just now when I got a soft reboot after I added all of my apps back through AppBrain and it started trying to open the Market to do the installs. After it came back up it seems to be handling the installs though.

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a good JVT ROM to bridge the gap until ICS is ready to go and I think this one will fit the bill :)
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Hi do you mind sharing the change to build.prop for now so I can fix it myself until pb2 comes out?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
http://code.google.com/p/apex-rom/source/detail?r=6ff84ab51d&repo=11

Hit the "+" next to modify to see the changes or click the build.prop link to see the whole file.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Hey bud you might have already taken care of this, but changing the product code in build.prop might break swype if it is registered only for I9000 models
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Seems to be okay. I cleared data for Swype to test in case something was cached, but the prop file change doesn't appear to have adversely affected it. Fairly certain this version shouldn't care what device it's on....
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
My experience so far. I install yesterday over Apex 10.1, at the same time I install Talon Kernel. When I boot the first time the system was converted from ext4 to rf. I had to go to vodoo control app and enable the lagfix and restart. Then the file system was converted. Second I'm having problem with calendar. The apointments that I have in google calendar, don't appear and when I try to add an appointment I received a message that I need a Google account or save local. Third I already have like three soft boot and two reboots. Fourth the Gps work like the best that I remember. The only change that I made was install the H3llstorm_GPS_Fix and now the GPS is working fantastic.

Can you post a battery mod or include one with you're next release

For the first beta, the ROM is very good ans is better that some other that are already finish. (Do I said a name)
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Edit: Add one more reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
i in the first 100 :) I LOVE THIS ROM
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I have been on Apex 11 with Talon kernal a little over 24 hours and these are my findings so far:

1. Coming from Apex 10.1 no problem with flash

2. One FC while scrolling in contacts. Can NOT duplicate

3. MMS working

4. Gps very good with no changes

5. Allshare working (important to me)

6. NO reboots

7. All apps and data installed with Tibu with no problems

8. First go round with battery, 1 day 16 hrs. Very happy with this.

As far as I'm concerned this rom is excellent so far.

Good job psych0phobia
[Captivate Android Development] ceasars:
Why is it when I install this rom via the guide provided my kernal is not switching to the talon one? I check this in the about phone tab in settings.
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
Mine doesn't say Talon in the about phone menu, but I know it's on talon because of the talon boot animation. What does your boot animation look like? If you see a multicolored X with a cyan loading bar at the bottom.....then you have Talon kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Talon's description string is very, very long and doesn't always show up properly in the About page. Try the free app "CPUSpy" to see the whole thing.
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
I love it!!!
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Oh man I can't wait for pb2...

This is gonna be my rom until ics comes along

BTW has anyone tried Thunderbolt scripts with this rom? Can you share your experience?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Was all set to install this but if beta 2 is just around the corner, maybe I'll wait for that. Anxious, though, since I'm still on 9.3 :D

Suggestion: maybe just call it "Beta 1" or "Beta 2" in the title and name, instead of the cryptic "pb 1"? Coming out and just saying "beta" is clearer and going to be more-recognized. :)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
It says "Current release: Apex 11.0 public beta 1" in the first post.... Needed to differentiate the non-public betas that were released before this one.

Public beta 2 will be arriving in the next couple of days for sure (assuming I can work out the Exchange crash problem).
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Can you include the H3llstorm_GPS_Fix. It help with the lock of the sats. For me made a difference .
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Yeah I saw that, just meant the thread title which is all you see at first when browsing new threads and such. It's not a huge deal, just a suggestion. ;)

Exciting news. Maybe something fun to do with my days off for the holiday. :)

Cheers....
[Captivate Android Development] Elad92:
Yayyy Apex is back!!

Add "Buddies Now" widget and you'll make me the happiest person ever! :P
[Captivate Android Development] breezeli:
Weird.....I loaded Go Launcher, set it up, rebooted it and it wasn't a choice any more. Also TI disappeared.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Errrrr..... It doesn't need to be added - it's already there. :)
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Weird is right.... I always use GO Launcher myself and have not had that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] breezeli:
I'll reflash tonight and see what I get.
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
my cel can't be recognized when pluged

hi, i was flashing with heindal and afer i flashed the big cache(i9000) my celphone go onto a bootloop.

But when i've tryed to conect in download mod, it dot starts!

conect like it is charging, but the windows doesn't recognizes the celphone.

wuhat i could do?
[Captivate Android Development] ceasars:
Yes I do see that logo on load up. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
First, unplug the USB cable and yank the battery to get the phone completely powered down. Then hold the VOL DOWN key while plugging in the USB cable. Keep holding VOL DOWN until you see the download screen. If you release too early, you'll just end up at the charging screen.
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
Thanks Thanks Thanks!

I was Already instaling linux in other pc thinking that my phone is bricked!

Thank!
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
Flashed over Apex 10.1 with great results. My TiBu restore worked well too, no FC's and such.

Fantastic ROM. Even more customization than 10.1. Strong work!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm unable to reproduce this currently. I installed Exchange 2010 on a Server 2008 VM using all the default settings (I know nothing about Exchange so that's pretty much my only option). I was able to set up an account and register it in the Samsung Email app. The security settings applied successfully (Email is now a device administrator). I was even able to send and receive emails, though admittedly only from and to myself - no way is that VM getting access to the Internet.

The only idea I have is in regards to something called the "SevenEngine." It's used by the Email app, but I wasn't able to figure out exactly when or why. I did not include it in the Apex ROM as the logs seemed to indicate that any features it provided were simply disabled, and it didn't impact any accounts that I tested (which was quite a few). In any case, my only recommendation at this point is to try dropping SevenEngine.apk into /system/app, reboot, and see if that affects the problem you're having in any way.

Let me know how it goes.

Edit: I got a lead. I tried changing some of the device permissions in exchange and have now created a crash. I'll investigate further.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Random Question (and you're going to hate me for it!)

Is there a way to get the stock TW3? i.e. the one with the tiles and goes black? not loving the transparent one too much.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
The only one issue I have found are the following.

1 - Auto Punctuation doesn't work with Android keyboard.

I have tired messing with all the check boxes and rebooting.

Russ
[Captivate Android Development] breezeli:
Total wipe, reflashed, installed go launcher, rebooted and it's not there. Man that's strange.....coming from Apex 10.1, btw
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Ewww... Here you go: Stock TW3 for Apex (CWM)
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
Battery Mod

Anyone already made a CWM battery mode with gingerbread percentage?
[Captivate Android Development] ceasars:
My biggest complaint now was probably already mentioned. Except it really sucks not having your sms messages in the right order because the timestamps are all over the place.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Haha, don't judge too me! :p
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
For anyone having issues with Exchange accounts, the OP now contains a download for the JVT Email app so you can get rolling again. Note that installing it will wipe data for the Email app (the databases are slightly different between JVT and SGS2).
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Hi psych0phobia I know I shouldn't ask :) ......... but when is pb2 coming? :P

Im about to flash ICS Miui but would like the option to jump back to pb2 when I have problems...
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
Best rom to date, thanks!

:):):):):):):):):)

That is all.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Those having issues with Exchange, can you try this? I believe it should fix any security error issues at the very least. Note that installing will wipe Email settings.
[Captivate Android Development] implodeme:
In the installation process it mentions using Heimdall and installing BigCache. Attempting to use the drivers for this app did not bode well and while I want larger cache and thus the ability to install bigbadass apps I am not sure to how best to resolve these issues.

For now, I have continued without BigCache

Here is the results of my attempt to use Heimdall:

Where is the correct place for support issues with this software? I am also having issues installing/using the Device Drivers. Prior work with my Captivate device I have installed direct Samsung drivers and have never had a connection issue in any method [Download, recovery|mount USB| normal USB operation in various ROMs]

Now, after installing the Drivers for this software I am having a hard time getting the device recognized properly and certainly will not show up as a libusb device. It did once, but when I disconnected and reconnected the device it is either a an unknown device or Samsung Composite USB but is “unable to start. Error -10″ per the devmgmt console.

Windows 7 64 Ultimate, Intel ICH10, Core i7 hardware base.

Running as user, which is an administrator and launching these applications “as administrator…” (Experience with Odin; Does not work unless launched as Administrator)
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
This is apparently a bug Google introduced around 2.3.4 that remains in the 2.3.6 version included in Apex. I'll have to look into grabbing a different version that works properly.

Edit: I have a 2.3.7 version that is working properly. I'll include it in public beta 2.
[Captivate Android Development] xcrunner4623:
Absolutely in love with this ROM right now. Just wondering what I can expect in term of battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Battery life should be on par with previous apex releases.
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
Hi i've tryed to restore my contacts using TiBU, by restoring only contacts data, but, after restore when o call the aplication says that it needs to stop, and the phone losts signal, but them gets it again.

I've tryed restoring with the .vcf file too but another aplication needs to be closed!

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Sync them with gmail and never backup or restore them again.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
+1 the probability of something going wrong with restoring contacts and the like from TiBu is certainly higher than syncing them with gmail. Much easier that way.
[Captivate Android Development] danix180:
Great ROM. Thanks for picking up...

Can we expect some lockscreen music player controls? Maybe MIUI lockscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
All the existing lock screens have music player controls when the music player is active. More lock screens will be added after the beta period.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
The database is a slightly different format in the SGS2 Contacts, so TiBu won't work. The vcf import issue has been fixed in public beta 2 (which should be released today, I think).
[Captivate Android Development] implodeme:
Prior to google sync, I had been using Android Sync Manager WiFi to backup all my contacts, calendar, messages. Has worked great 12 times (according to my files backup counter) - Would recommend this for anyone not syncing with google or for those having issues getting their contacts out of their phone/sim to google.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
if coming from MIUI do i need to flash back to stock before flashing this?
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I don't know enough about MIUI to answer that accurately. The important things for successfully flashing Apex are that you are using I9000 or I897 Gingerbread bootloaders, and that your existing filesystems are Ext4 or RFS.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Yes you need to since MIUI uses same filesystem as CM7 which is different than stock. Flash back to stock and then follow the instructions listed on website.
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Apex is using the SMS fixes outlined here. If it isn't working for you, your best bet is probably to install the "SMS Time Fix app" mentioned in that post.

Does anyone know if SGS2 suffers this problem as well? If not, I can try again to port the SGS2 messaging app over.... (Last time I tried, it looked to require some hefty framework modifications that I wasn't quite comfortable with, so I abandoned the effort.)
[Captivate Android Development] xcrunner4623:
For those of us, like myself, who never used a previous Apex release, what would it be?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just using mms.apk from galaxy s with timestamp fix should do. its implemented in both apex 10.1 or pinnacle if you want to refer them. yes porting mms apk from sgs2 is not as easy
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
To me battery life really denpends on user and how long have you been using the battery some users know how to tweak there device to make it last long, for an average users i would say it would last 13-18 hrs of moderate usage and 1 day and 2 hrs of very light usage
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Public beta 2 update CWM zip in OP.

If you're using Talon, don't be alarmed if your screen goes black for a while after the boot animation plays during the first boot. There's apparently a bug with Talon that's preventing it from playing the looping part of the animation. DarkCore should work fine. Rebooting after the first time should be much faster, so you'll barely notice the issue if at all.

I'll add the change list, make a full install CWM, and update the website soon.
[Captivate Android Development] xcrunner4623:
Thank you very much for your response. Much better than Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Just flashed PB2 and now mms don't work. Flashed mms from Apex 10.1 and still don't. Any ideas ?

FORGET THIS POST. Wifi was down
[Captivate Android Development] saobang3886:
Can you show the changlog? I just have 2 big problem with pb1 is sms timestamp and TiBu can't restore system app, every things else seem ok ^^!
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm so confused... Which way is the "fixed" way - showing the Sent time or the Received time? Apex 10.0 uses Sent time, and Apex 10.1 uses Received time (current system time). The link earlier to the guide that I followed is showing how to change from Received to Sent, which seems to be backwards....

Or is this not even the timestamp issue in question? (Sorry guys - I don't even have a messaging plan, so what may seem intuitively obvious is lost to me.)
[Captivate Android Development] Aztecbandit:
Why don't you guys put in the WiFi, cellular signal, and battery notification icon from Samsung devices into the ROM?

EDIT: nevermind, i was looking at the screenshots, once I flashed the ROM, I saw them
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Try this mms.apk from jvt darky this works fine for me.

Use es explorer or file expert in root mode to copy to /system/app and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
That's... interesting. That attachment is Stock JVT. No changes at all. Perhaps JVT was correct to begin with and by "fixing" it, I actually put it back to "broken"? :o
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Change log is up. Apparently, SMS timestamp is still incorrect. Again, restoring system apps is never recommended - it almost always causes force closes.
