if you come from v7 no need wipe. But ı suggest make format-system before flashing...

if you come other then v7 make all wipes+format system...

facebook

Just moved from aokp milestone 4 to doc master v8. I just got done syncing my phone, yet it seems to not load the facebook profile pictures of anyone, is there a solution to this?

PS. I did a wipe data/wipe cache and the whole shebang!
[Captivate Android Development] powerserge1:
Worked for me. Thanks Turk
[Captivate Android Development] Corkscrewed:
Thanks, I will take a look at this.

And I didn't mean to criticize the ROM itself. Like I said, everything was working great before I rebooted. I've just never heard of a case where a phone bricks out AFTER a ROM gets flashed. If it bricked, it should have done so during the installation. So that's what really confused me.

I did a lot of searches both on Google and within XDA about methods of restoring and recovering without the availability of Clockwork Mod, but there were numerous results, and I figured posting here would get me some direction from you fine folks.

Thanks in advance for the feedback, I'll keep you posted.

+1 on the JVT modem...seems to do well on other Captivate ics versions.
[Captivate Android Development] powerserge1:
I am not sure why people are having problems flashing modems via CWM.

Just place the modem zip file on your phone's SD card, flash it via CWM and it works. The CM7 modems work unlike the ones posted in the stickies of the captivate forum.

http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

This is a great ROM, lost our FB skin with the latest update but I am sure we will get it back in the next build. I updated modem to JL3 for Telus and everything working fine. The stock kk4 modem would cause echoing for me. Changing modems was very easy.
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Yeah we have to use i9000 modems with ics
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
No u don't, i897 modems work too.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
CM7 modems work also
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I've had this rom for only a couple of days now, but I got some great battery life today. The best in a really long time.

I'm at 22% with 1d 7 hr since my last charge. My "Screen" time is listed at 2h23m. I'm excited for the next version.

I didn't know that one. I always thought only I9000 modems with CM/MIUI/ICS, but this may be good news. Are you using an I897 modem? If so, which one?

Oh I used kj3 and kk4 and on both nobody could hear me on the other end.
[Captivate Android Development] Corkscrewed:
Hello,

So got my phone working again via one-touch restore am now now back to a rooted stock version of Froyo. Ignorant question, but can I flash this ROM on top of that, or do I have to figure out a way of upgrading to a Gingerbread firmware before flashing?

Asking only because I had to do that with Serendipty 7.

Thanks for your help. Just trying to learn.
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
Just flash a kernel with cwm and flash the rom.... You should be good to go
[Captivate Android Development] Corkscrewed:
I can't even get into recovery with CWM... and ROM Manager also says my version of CWM Recovery is 2.5.1.2. Volume Up + Down + Power button combo doesn't work to boot into recovery, there's no option to reboot to recovery from this rooted stock froyo (then again, that does make sense), and when I elect to "reboot in to recovery" from ROM Manager, it just goes to the regular Android boot screen.

I don't recall having this difficulty the first time I flashed a ROM (and that was from Eclair!), and I can't think of what I might be doing wrong, even though all outward symptoms would suggest I'm missing something.

TiBu won't work either because this stock Froyo doesn't have a feature to tick "Unknown Sources" inside the "Applications" tab inside "Settings."

Sorry for all this hassle. Probably come off looking like a noob, but I'm getting issues that are not quite like issues other people have (based on searching these forums and such).

Edit

:

DERP. I'm going to try this too and just start a different thread later when/if I encounter other issues, since I've done enough off-topic posts in this thread.

They wouldn't be listed for download with an ics tag if they didn't work, try a couple others. Dunno why u would want to use an i897 modem tho...the audience chip is not supported which is the only real benefit of using an i897 modem
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
You need to flash a kernel with cwm using odin (for example talon kernel is what i use when coming from stock).... Then you can reboot into cwm and flash rom
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Sounds like you borked your bootloaders somehow with a certain one-click....flashing to a stock GB w/bl's then a GBkernel with CWM should get your button combo straight again. Forget ROM manager.

from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] powerserge1:
yep agreed. That's why u should flash the speedmod kernel since it recognized both froyo and GB bootloaders. You are at stock right now, root the phone, install the speedmod kernel via Odin then you will be good to go to flash ICS with CWM (from the speedmod kernel).
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
One request for the Doctor.

It'd be nice to have an auto-rotate toggle at the very top, also possibly a brightness one as well since the notification brightness swipe doesn't work anymore.

Otherwise I'll just do the power widget.
[Captivate Android Development] aznxprd:
prob has more to do with the fb app being lame then =/
[Captivate Android Development] fishfingers15:
First, let me congratulate on a very good RoM. I've been a regular user since V3. I had little trouble over sleep death/constant reboots, but as suggested I've gone back to GB bootloader ROM's and I've updated to V8 now. I will continue to monitor the performance

I didn't mind losing data and re-installing apps again to solve 2 issues

1) Increasingly regular reboots

2) SD Card suddenly showing up as unsupported. This is particularly annoying, as when the phone boots up, it correctly identifies the SD Card and I have no problems using them. After an hour or so, the phone will throw up an error and the SD card will be unsupported. The only way I can fix the issue is by a re-boot. I'm using a 8GB SDHC card, and I had no trouble with the card in any other machines.

I think the first issue is more or less gone, but the second one still persists. It may not be a big issue for others, but I'm so pleased by this ROM, I wanted to see if this could be corrected.

Once again, please don't think I'm complaining. Just reporting issues so that this RoM can be as awesome as possible.

Nice Rom Turk

Thank you another nice job by you. But the nav bar still makes the test disappear under the icons on the home screen and the apex launcher still gives FC's ;( other than that I been on this rom for months now and it's the most stable available. Thank you for your work.

battery life

Hey guys I've been on v7 for a few days now and now I'm on v8. I love it. Thanks Turk.

My problem is my battery drains faster than what it did on the stock UCKK4 Gingerbread from AT&T. Does this seem normal? Right now I lose about 10% in about an hour on standby in Airplane mode.
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I'm also having trouble downloading this. 0.4mb with 14 hours left.

Yep apex is last days having issues.This is not my fault. Im always using the latest. I can revert it to nova but novas free version is some features limited for free:(

I love the attention this from is receiving from users and Turk! Way to keep the cappy alive! I love this rom and I updated to v8 this morning. The only problem I have noticed is after about 4 to 5 minutes of game play, a game will freeze. I have cleared data for that application and uninstalled and reinstalled. I have had it happen to two games so far. Anyone have an idea or anyone else having this issue? Thanks for support and this is my favorite rom! Amazing development Turk!
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
have you tested a different kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
You might need to set different voltages. It is probably the INT voltage which you set with NStools. Set the INT voltage 1000 step to 1.125 and see if that helps. Dont mess with the ARM, make sure to set the INT and only the 1000 step.

I've just flashed V8 over my KK4 install with Corn kernel. Everything is quick and fast and I'm very impressed!

One small issue.. My phone shows EXTREMELY weak signal for 3G. I've swapped to JVS (confirmed by me to work well in my area) and no change. I also tried changing RAT -> WCDMA in service mode but I still get 1-2 bars (sometimes 3).

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Yes cache was wiped on modem install and ROM was installed following the directions on the main page.
[Captivate Android Development] FreddieP:
Thanks for this great looking ROM. I'm however having loads of lag and very little ram free. I had experienced this with v6 so I flashed to Apex ROM (which has less available ram) and my phone ran well. On Apex I was usually well above 80 MB free ram.

Back on Doc's v8 it is doing the same again. there is over300 mb ram available but when I check most of the time there is less than 30 free and my phone is slow.

I'm running the same set off apps as on Apex which includes go launcher. Most times when I return home go launcher has to reload the desktop.

Is anyone else experiencing low free RAM? What can I try to improve how v8 is running? Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] br0adband:
Been hoping to find a solid, well performing, and rather simple ROM for my Captivate (just got one a few days ago for $50 off craigslist, amazingly, in excellent condition overall), and I've tried several so far and I have to say I'm happy with V8 as of a few hours ago when I installed it. Some other ROMs I've tried in the past few days would FC when I'd attempt to switch the camera from pics to video - that's pretty damned irritating when it won't work - but V8 is working so far. I haven't added much to it at the moment (currently listening to the Virginia Beach EMS scanner feed because of that Navy jet plane crash, that's my hometown area even though I live in Vegas now), but I will as time goes by.

So far so good, hoping that this "stock" V8 has decent battery life but I'm still on the wall charger for the time being, will test that out later.

Great ROM from what I've experienced, vibranturk, congrats. :D

EDIT:

After playing with it a bit longer, I decided to check out the AngryGPS and then install GPS Status and see if there was any improvement over the stock GB AT&T ROM (KK4) and... well... sweet geezus... :D

I've tried 9 ROMs so far in the past few days, and none of them did much of anything at all with GPS Status - in fact, standing on the balcony of my apartment building I was lucky if I ever saw 2 or 3 satellites, at all, and never got anywhere near enough signal for an actual position lock regardless of the ROMs I attempted it with. Obviously, none of them ever gave me even a single satellite at all inside my apartment.

So I fire up AngryGPS while I'm still inside my apartment - disclaimer: I do live on the top floor so there's nothing above me but my roof and then sky) and wham, it got 9 satellites inside 6 seconds and a full lock in 7.06!!!!

Ok, I'm sold on this ROM, definitely. :D

GPS Status gave me pretty much the same results, found 8 satellites and a TTFF of about 8 seconds, and this is inside my apartment - I haven't even gone outside yet but I expect the same or better results. Absolutely astonishing - I know about the issues with the SGS/SC when using the stock AT&T GB ROMs but damn, I never ever expected the GPS to be of any significant use to me until 10 minutes ago when it locked in ~7 seconds.

BRILLIANT! :p

No music access!

I can't remember if this problem started in v5 or v6, but when I started with these roms a while back, my music quit working properly. All of my music is synced via iSyncr into a folder on my sd card named "syncr" with my playlists. All of the files are present, and I even deleted them all and resynced everything. But none of my music player apps will find my music. The 2 default players (miui and cyanogen I think) both say there is no music on my device. I also have player pro and Rocket Player, which find no music as well. Then i tried the evaluation and demos of Neutron player and Poweramp and these apps seem to do a scan within the apps for music files in the initial launch of the app and thus find my music. These apps both have music in them. But why don't the other 4 apps work???

These apps did not perform initial scans of my music folders, nor is there a way to prompt them to. After contacting iSyncr, they believe that the problem lies with the media scanner/media store. These are supposed to "tell" the phone about known playlists and songs on the storage, but apparently it is not. Is there a way to fix this problem? (It seems the only reason Poweramp and Neutron work is because they scan from within the app, but it appears the system is not behaving properly.)

Any ideas/fixes?? Is there a problem with this great ROM or is it something on my end?

Thanks!

I'm loving this ROM. I thought I was having battery issues, but I'm not. Great job vibranturk. I would like to see an option to change lockscreens though. I'm not a fan of the Play Store arrow. Would there be anyway to port over the lockscreen from our Captivate gingerbread ROM? I like the 'slide glass to unlock' and the puzzle pieces for new messages or missed calls.
