It's been a real pleasure guys. I have moved over to the Optimus G (unless development dies out there) and I'd like to thank all of you for the support and teaching me how to do everything. The Captivate got me hooked on Android, and you guys brought me from a noob, to someone interested in actual development. It's been real, hope to see some of you later on in the future.

Lost root at some point, I think after market update of superuser.

It was working because I clean reinstalled (stock and on from there).

Is this happening to anyone else?

I used to be on another kk4 before and the su app was updated and no issues (or if there were I did not notice them).

Tks
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
Well it only took me a week or so but I finally got the stock version themed the way I want it. I like the stock look mostly but am starting to like the honeycomb colors.

The rom is running great so for and I have to say thanks for all the work the dev team put into it. As time goes on I will report any issues that I find, so for they have all been with my theme work. Now that I am done with that part for now I will be able to tell what is rom related.

I also want to mention that I tried one of the Fusion themes and it caused a boot loop. I would not recommend using those themes on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
It works fine when it is added as an update, the problem is when it is flashed with a full wipe ROM, it somehow messes up the data connection. Something to do with the auto update of the time and date. That is the problem devs face adding tweaks and enhancements to these roms.
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
Crt60....no fair, you CAN'T be fixing stuff b4 I get a chance to report it! You are really stressing this co-dependent relationship we are having!...lol

with that said, I have 2 things to mention.

First, (sounds like you fixed or at least know about it) I did the Fullwipe Gray 2nites ago V2.1.5_KK4_Stk, I then flashed v217_update_Stk (yesterday) also applied yellow L_And_Batt.zip in the evening.

Not sure which (me thinks its was yellow And Batt more than update) but when I ran Speed Test w/ wifi on was only getting ~2 - 3 Mbps dload speed, prior to the 2 addtional flashed files (update & battery) I was getting ~9.96 - 13.40 Mbps. I'm now back to that speed by reflashing my modem (KH3) after flashing some other modems that were as good for me (KH2, KF1, KE3, KB1, JLI).

2nd, and I think this was due to Tegrak being set to 1.3Ghz, I charged to 100% overnite, removed from charger and had breakfast ( about 1 -1.5 hrs), phone was DEAD!! Battery drained to 10%, OS set to shut down (which i like).

After charging for a bit I got a msg from Tegrak saying that some of the steps either failed or didnt start properly (my first time seing that). When I check Battery Use, 87% was Display, the rest was Wifi GPS 3G.

Going to check the new file CRT60 posted.

***EDIT***

3rd which is minor, went to Settings>>>Date/Time

and the hide clock, hide AM/PM were enabled but the both were on the status bar. Had to uncheck and re-check to for options to become true.

I also I have a request can we work on a better method of Ad blocking? I ask cuz, if I go to Angry Birds, I get a fullscreen ad (right now for a Mustang) or its just a white full screen window with a small black X. One could say that its Ad blocking, but I know for certain that their are ROMS, that when they ad block, you dont even know that their are ads in the app you are using.

Its one thing to just block the msg from the advertiser and still have the crappy annoying window, its whole ne level of OpenSource goodness when you dont even see the ad window even appear...EVER....if you something of me to help, its the least I can do for you guys.

NYCiZ...
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
So I did flash the 2.1.7 full and am seeing the data loss issue. Should I flash the 2.1.7 update on top of it, or revert to 2.1.5, then flash the 2.1.7 update?

Thanks much.

**edit**

Flashing the update on top of 2.1.7 didn't work (probably obvious to most, but had to try) Flashing 2.1.5, then update now...
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
If you havent started the flash process yet, you can try re-flashing your modem. It helped me out last nite. If I've miss spoken please correct me. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Damn, you were like 5 min to late :P It's ok, I just finished the process and all seems well as noted in the OP. Restoring apps and settings now. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
LOL...yeah I've already started with the x-mas cheer.... *hiccup*
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Tease... I still got another day to go. You know the whole "real life" work thing. I hate when that gets in the way....
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Tell me about it, still waiting on that lottery or big idea to invent something, maybe a pet phone, you know like a pet rock.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
LMAO. +1

BTW Legend users as crt60 stated to me we now have an official ROM with our first official theme. Please see post 3 for an early Christmas present called Stainless.

And please remember feedback is always welcome..

Hope you enjoy!!
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
Lol, yeah I got a conf call on friday. Which I'd offi cal day of vacation. Hate real life work.
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
I got dollars but ran out of dreams....dam real life.
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
flashing while dunk = hangover reload next morning....

******Edit******

RobM, I love the look of the Stainless esp the icons on homescreen and statusbar, can we get just the icons but keep the color we already have installed? And/or (i know I'm asking for alot), we have the ability to change the icons like I prefer to place the Market where you have Task. I ES Task Manager so everything I want killed gets it from a one click of a widget :-D

Also what would need to be done to get the AppDrawer to be like GB ASOP ( the one that scroll up/down like a cube ) this side scrolling is messing me up...lol....or its the tequila shotz....
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
not sure if I'm following you. Are you wanting to keep the original dropdown menu and just use the app icons from Stainless?

As far as the GB launcher there is a themed one in the Stainless zip. If you go into menu/settings/applications/manage applications click the all tab, scroll down to Twlauncher, click on it then click Clear Default. After that press the home soft button, you will see a box come up and choose Launcher. that will open the GB AOSP launcher
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
Nope I like the stainless icons for both on screen and dropdown statusbar. However would like to know if the apps could be changed, you have Contacts, Messages, Camera, Task Mgr. I would like to change those to some other apps but want your theming. So I change TaskMgr for Market will your theme still apply or would the Market be typical green/gray color?

Or can I use your App Icons but on one of the color backgrounds like yellow /blue with stainless icons for apps.

Hope that makes sense, a lil buzzzzz
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
OK if your changing icons\apps on the homescreen then yes if you remove the task manager app from the homescreen and replace it with the Market app the market app will be the stock green/gray color. Stainless as the rest of my themes are quite extensive in the themed apps I think Stainless has 30 themed apps. I normally dont do third party apps like the market, Ti Bu or apps like that due to the fact they are updated regularly and once it updates you lose the themed app.

Now as far as using my themed apps on one of the diffrent "backgrounds" what background are you talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
I see, ok, well I'm using the gray stock, but would really like to have your icons for the statusbar (pulldown wifi/bluetooth/etc).
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Ok, I dont do this very often, but you can dowload and flash this. This zip is just the systemui.apk it will only give you the dropdown, the toggles, signal wifi ect.

[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
What, are you kidding me... Best xmas present yet.

+++++Edit+++++

Loaded it and loving it! 2 comments, wifi doesn't look different when on or off, two speakers icon I know they are different.

A recommendation, make the color difference more dramatic in the rings or change the color of text for each icon like black when off, silver when on.

Love the transparentcy, icon in status makes rom look more finish.

Also how about adding CarHome.apk, :), I love it cuz it shows landscape and it makes switching btwn apps while driving really easy with big buttons.

Merry xmas!
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Glad u like. There is a difference between on and off on wifi kinda subtle but its there. Might redo that one on the next release.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Did you update the su binary as well?, that maybe the problem, sometimes just rebooting the phone will solve issues with root after an update.

Or you can try superuser update fixer from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
superuser can no longer get root, so it will no longer update the binary, although it did the first time.

I noticed this because I could not edit gps.conf.

Already tried the fixer, no use.

I am wondering if it has to do with something in the rom because I have never had this before.

Thanks for your support, the rom is awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
I was able to update superuser with no problems, so not sure what the deal is. Possibly an app you maybe installing or a tibu restore.
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
I never use tibu.

Must be some app...

Folks, small Q, if i update from 4 to 5, will i loose the theme i already have, just like the old Samsung theme. does legend 5 change theme to ICS theme ?
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Yeah you will lose the theme, the closest I have to samsung stock is the Legend stock theme which I don't think is "that" bad, it didn't quite bomb like my blue and yellow themes did.:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] BxingFetus:
do you happen to be on ext4? and what kernel are you using?

Sent from the land of Defrag
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
I used to be, however before flashing I one clicked back to stock so the rfs file system was created again.

Yesterday I went back to simplystock and it happened again.

I am back on legend 5 and I am checking if I lose root at every step.
[Captivate Android Development] BxingFetus:
@jvc73, I had a similar issue on legend 5, tried all of what CWM had to offer to fix root, nothing seemed to stick, my binary wouldn't update to 3.1.1 I had even tried erasing the su file in system/xbin/su and it wasn't until I went from ext4 back to rfs that su would update. I'm not sure why this is yet but it seemed to figure itself out. Now all is good. Hope this helps a little.

Sent from the land of Defrag
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
It seems to do with the conversion from rfs to ext4, the partitions should be formatted to ext4 before flashing the rom. I know converting it after the fact causes problems.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
I'll second that!!
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
I guess that must be it, although the second install was over rfs, maybe something was not properly restored.

I have falshed almost every rom out there, strange I never ran into this before!

Thanks for all the help, working for now!
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
If you converted to ext4 then both installs where orginally over rfs. You can convert to ext4 with a full wipe and no conversion then immediately install the rom directly to the ext4 partitions. Much more stable that way.
[Captivate Android Development] Maxmusic:
Possible Yellow option for Legend 5

Just updated my son's Cappy from Legend 4 to 5. He liked the yellow theme in 4. Any possibility of adding yellow to the color options in 5? He is a crazed Iowa Hawkeyes' fan and he couldn't asked for a better color theme. If that option is not on the table is it very difficult to do that myself? I have never done any modifying like that, but consider myself with above average computer skills and would be willing to give it a go with some directions.

Another one thanks you for all the work that has gone into the Legend and making the Captivate an even more wonderful phone than when it came out. I have a feeling I will be hanging onto it once I upgrade to the G3 later this fall.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
If you wanna give it a go for yourself click on the sig links at the bottom of my, well, sig there are some really good tutorials on theming. What your looking to do would be a fairly easy task of swapping images.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
I'm somewhat partial to the yellow theme myself. It was the original theme I started with in version 1. but discontinued it because of the few downloads it got. Theming is a good learning experience plus you could add custom Hawkeye images as well. If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to ask.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Something else you can try is the SuperSU from the market, it should keep everything updated. Seems to work well.
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
Will do if it comes up again.

For now I followed your suggestion to format to ext4 and install afterwards and it is looking good!

Thanks! By the way, sent a beer :)
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
I found the culprit, although I do not understand why I have never read this in one year of frequent xda reading.

If I disable USB debugging I lose root, if I re-enable it is ok. Is that a standard feature?

Also currently trying to figure out why the hosts file is being ignored.

EDIT: the hosts file is being ignored because of CR+LF at the end of each line instead of LF

Hope that is useful, I attached a zip file (it is NOT a cwm zip).
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
No its not a standard feature, I don't think it is something in the ROM, might be a bug with su, have you tried SuperSU from the market?

I've tested it and do not lose root when I enable/disable usb debugging. Not sure whats going on there, strange. I can't duplicate the problem you are having with root.

So carriage returns causes the hosts file to fail. Good catch, learn something new everyday.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
And thanks for the beer :)

Ahhhhh, back to KK4! I'm gonna be running this rom for a few weeks while I work 14 hour shifts. Great rom. My last native was Illuminance, and I had forgotten how good KK4 is.

I can't get to recovery at all (I really haven't tried ADB). Is there a way to fix this without flashing the Rom again? Even if I have to flash again I don't care. This battery life is simply not possible for me in ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
First off, welcome back.

As far as recovery you won't be able to reflash the ROM unless you do an adb reboot recovery. So my suggestion is going to be a reflash of the ROM. But before you do that I recommend going back to stock kk4 with a repartition. If you click on the link to the MPD ROM in my sig in the op is my favorite one click by 4-2ndtwin. After that your partitions will be back to normal, this is necessary after flashing an ICS ROM because of the differences in partition tables. After that flash a cwm kernel and then the ROM.

One last tip, if you plan on using ext4 convert to it without backup then flash the full wipe ROM zip. This prevents any bugs from popping up later.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Thanks for the reply. Before I flashed KK4, I had already gone back to KB2 to get the proper partitions, followed by flashing this ROM. I was even able to get to recovery and flash a different modem. I was planning on downloading Corn 7.0A and flashing it via SGS Kernel Flasher, but the links are down. I'm going to wait until I get home to see if I have a copy in my PC. I'll keep you posted.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Here ia a copy of CornKernel UCKK4 v70A, Odin flashable.

and CornKernel UCKK4 v70A, CWM flashable.

What modem are you using?

Can you provide a link?
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I checked the baseband and it says KK4, but I distinctly remember flashing KH2. I don't recall CWM aborting the installation. In any case, I'm planning on flashing Corn 7.0A and doing a fresh install. Now that I have a native ROM, I really haven't missed ICS or H speed. Once I re flash Legend, I'll uninstall some apps (Media Hub comes to mind) and rekindle my love for native battery life.

Thanks for uploading the kernel. I have always loved how friendly and helpful people are in Collective threads.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^

U could always flash the kh2 "modem.bin" through the PHONE slot of the regular Odin. (u may already know this...but just a friendly fyi just in case u didn't)
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
I heard that xAoCPx is coming to the cappy is it true crt60?;):D:cool:

Guess its time to brake out my cappy for a nice fresh upgrade.

Fezzy102 Ladies and gentlemen, themer extraordinaire and cat liberator lol.

Right now we can neither confirm or deny the existence of AoCP on the captivate. That one sounds a bit more cryptic, more of what you guys are used to from the Collective lol..

And no AoCP is not a typo, Android open Collective Source. Just sayin...

AoCP, what dat? Meow....
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
a few problems lately...

And I don't know why. The phone has been having problems just being a phone! The phone screen takes a lot longer to load.... sometimes 10 seconds. The most annoying thing is that it doesn't even want to dial. I usually just swipe the entry on the phone log to dial someone but it just turns green and sits there. I'll get impatient and go to the homescreen and do it again and same results. after a few times it does call but when I hang up it then dials the number again... methinks from all the previous swipes.

Just general stuff like that is happening... real slow loading some screens.

I've cleared cache and Davlik but same thing. Just backed everything up with TiBu as I'm thinking I just need to reflash.

Other thoughts?

Corn v7.06 EXT4 SIO SmartassV2 / Stock L4
[Captivate Android Development] justan00b:
My girlfriend has been nagging at me saying stuff like that is happening for her captivate too. She's using latest legend 5 and (latest?) corn kernel 7.06 used to work good when it was initially flashed, dunno what to do either besides reflash. She said same stuff like you, issues with it just being a phone, running sluggish, dialer not opening or making a call and it doing nothing, or even dropping calls (but who knows if that's her face touching the screen and hitting end call, or service dropping, or the phone messing up, but she's been having a lot of these problems lately and never before so I'll assume its the phone as well causing problems and not being just a phone...)

I might try flashing her to an ICS rom on here, have no idea what's the best or what's stable, SlimICS looked good.. or might go back to rooted stock if I have to.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
It seems there are a few reports of the phone having lag over time using corn 7.06, it probably is the tweaks causing it too, others have been using legend for months with no problems, but they are using corn 6.03 and no tweaks. People complain how much better a stock rom runs, but stock has absolutely no tweaks at all, so that should tell you something.

Then they get pissed off and flash another ROM just to have a whole other set of problems and issues.

There is nothing in the initial ROM itself to cause the phone to start lagging and acting up over time. The thing that causes this is unstable kernels and performance tweaks. If you flash Legend with the very stable corn 6.03 kernel and no tweaks, I bet the phone lasts as long as any stock ROM would.

It doesn't have quite the performance, but thats why Samsung came out with dual core phones.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^

What he said and + 1 from me and + 1 from mtcarey himself, the Dev of the Corn Kernel... see this Post #1407 in the KK4 Corn Kernel Thread...more specifically this quote from mtcarey--- "Try deleting the entire /system/etc/cwm5sc folder and reboot. That's where all the settings (tweaks) are stored and maybe something's messed-up. It will be re-created with defaults..."

Tweaks do carry over from one Rom flash to another Rom flash (proof from mtcarey here), although sometimes harmless tweaks. But non the less, If u r having trouble with the Corn Kernel version 7.06, then flash the version 6.03 as suggested by crt60. Then after ur flash of the kernel (I like flashing it with Odin rather than cwm.zip personally) then use Root Explorer or something similar and delete the cwm5sc folder and reboot as suggested by mtcarey and that will get rid of any left over tweaks that may have carried over.

And if u want to reformat to Ext4, then be sure and do it this way... Post #1516 by crt60

:good:
[Captivate Android Development] justan00b:
Wow, thanks for all the great info from both you guys. Will definitely give it a try, makes sense what you're saying about the scripts. Thanks a lot for the replies!! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
I just happen to have the "stock" 6.03 and the 7.0a kernels. I'll try deleting the folder suggested above. Failing that. I'll flash just 6.03 without any other tweaks and report back.

Thanks for the replies. I hope it didn't come across as complaining... I just like to understand. Comes from coding and working IT for 30+ years.

I would have reflashed L4 anyway!
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
So just taking small steps.... I deleted the folder suggested and it "seems" to have made a world of difference. Back to snappy and working. Did not change kernels.... just deleted the folder and re-booted.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
It's there's any other kernel that I can use with the ROM that have the huge mem option of the ICS Roms.
