Yep, extracted the essentials zip and then copied "boot" (doesn't have an .img extension showing) to the heimadall directory I used.

Ok, this is really strange. Reflashed speedmod kernel and finally got CWM but then it reverted back to slim screen bootloop. Then flashed GB bootloaders and went from green CWM to blue. Flashed ICSSGS ROM and still keeps throwing me back to slim bootloop
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
format system and wipe data.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Flashed so much crap I don't know what exactly was the factor that fixed it. Got a successful, completely fresh install of 2.8 version. Rebooted into recovery and wiped everything again and am now flashing 2.9 and 2.9 essentials from the mirror link in the OP. That first link should be removed to save others my headache.

OK, 2.9 installed and I got to reset up my whole phone now but at least it's working.

WEIRDEST THING NOW THOUGH IS WHEN IT BOOTS UP I GET THE AT&T LOGO SCREEN FOR A SECOND OR TWO. I HAVEN'T HAD THAT SCREEN FOR AGES. WHY NOW ? WAS BLACK BEFORE AND JUST SAID SAMSUNG I9000
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
I just flashed this ROM and I'm beyond impressed. This seems to be the best ICS build for the captivate that I have found.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
^^This ^^

Honestly love this rom, I've tried every flavor of ICS... the simplicity and speed of this rom cannot be matched.

Thank you.

Added: I must also commend you for your level of professionalism and helpful respect for your fellow devs and clients alike. Your organizational skills are also impeccable... which is EXTREMELY helpful to the community.

For these reasons alone are what attracted me to your rom in the first place...
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Flashed this yesterday. Almost everything seems to be working well. Battery life seems a little worse than other ICS ROMs, but not much and it's a little early to tell.

I do have a question - do the buttons light up when you receive a text message, email, etc.? I know there are settings for this, but mine do not light up.

(For the forum grouches - I did read the first 20 pages and tried to search for this issue first. The search feature is not exactly very helpful).
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yes, they do. Read more, lol. It's in the change log

- from the forum grouch.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I have literally read every page in this thread and now I went and read all of the Change Logs from the other thread and I still do not see where it clearly says those are a feature or how to enable them. I'm sure I could have overlooked it.

Anyway, maybe I should have been more clear - how do you get them to work. I see some settings in ASS that have to do with how long to pulse them on and how long to pulse them off, but I'm talking about having them light up and stay on.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
BLN is implemented, turn on notification from settings, display, pulse notification light. then use ns tools or bln app.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
I assume the mod for center clock in the notification bar is removed? I liked having the time in the center instead of right with the signal and battery percent. Also, the ability to show AM/PM in the status bar. Those would be brilliant.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
it was never there in my ROM. Not looking to add that, already enough clock/time on the phone :P
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
@ Krarv - Thanks again for the help last night. Also I keep reading both when googling. Is this ROM CM9 based or AOSP ? Or is that one in the same ?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
cm9 is aosp based and so is mine with some features pulled from aokp and kernel from cm9
[Captivate Android Development] geminihc:
i have the same issue. whenever my power saving mode is one, regardless of what settings i use in power saving, the mobile data turns off by itself if the screen is turned off after awhile. this is fixed if i dont use power saving
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
anyone else notice that the ringtone and notifications are not linked?

I downgraded back to 2.8 cuz i loved the non linked volume so much

awesome work by the way, probably the best rom i have used on this captivate
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Thanks, that's what I thought. I had an issue the other day with BLN on the newest Glitch Kernel and dev said it's because SLIM rom isn't supported due to GLitch only supporting CM9 based roms. I tried to explain that SLIM is CM9 based
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
next time say Slim is AOSP based. Glitch works fine on Slim AFAIK.
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
So coming from 2.8 I am planning to wipe cache/dalvik cache, then flash base and essentials. The only thing that I have not gotten working (did not try too hard) is the Picasa sync. I see that that is now in the 2.9 add-on. Do I need the 2.9 add-on to get Picasa working and if so would I need to wipe data/format system first or just flash?

P.S. I love this ROM. Because of it, I can't even bring myself to get a new phone (which would not even cost me anything because my company would pay for it). I am on AT&T and there is just no other hardware that I like right now especially vanilla ICS ROMs like this!
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
read the changelog mate, picasa is now in base, syncs just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
Thanks! I read it but I guess I got it crossed up. Flashing soon :)
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Krarvind your an awesome dev...remind me of watsa...always there for his people. Can anyone tell me y I can't do voice to text? I have it set to show mic on keyboard yet it doesnt. Tried alt keyboard and pressed voice button and did NOTHING. Any idears?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Anyone can refresh my dumb ass on where the setting is exactly for "long press back to kill app" ?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
that was easy
[Captivate Android Development] Jooosty:
Are sod kernel related? Had a few so far
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
yes, which kernel and did you do a clean install?
[Captivate Android Development] cucumbersmell:
2.9 has been great, fantastic work! Donation made:

Confirmation number: 8KJ30717U1220141K
[Captivate Android Development] Matrioux:
In 2.8 there was a setting to de-couple the ring and notification volumes. I cannot find that setting in 2.9. Am I just missing it or has it been removed? If removed, is there any way to add it back. If I am just missing it, please point me in the right direction.

I didn't see anything in the change log about removing it.
[Captivate Android Development] Jooosty:
I installed 2.7 w/ essentials . Then 2.9 w/ essentials . Currently using whatever kernel came with that package.

Was working fine at home for 24 hrs. Left the house and it sod three times .

Running the cpu at 100 MHz @ screen off.
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
I'm sure you figured it out by now. You flashed I897 boot loaders (att logo screen) somewhere along the line when you were using I9000 boot loaders (samsung I9000 screen) before.
[Captivate Android Development] phyba:
Hello, not sure this is the right place to ask this. My girlfriend has a captivate but its screwed up from the last gb update. I wanna flash this rom to her phone but was wondering if there was a "guide" of some sorts because the guide that's stickied is out dated lol. I've only used HTC phones and currently on a rezound with ice but have no idea how these Sammy's work. I keep reading about bootloaxers and what not.

This rom would be my ideal choice because Its pure vanilla ics and lightweight.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Hi! What's up with the phone? Does it turn off? First thing to do is this. Take the USB cord and plug it in the computer, and remove the battery out of the phone. Plug it in. Now, press and hold the 3 physical buttons(power, volume up, and volume down). Slide the battery into the phone, and as you do that, release the power and keep holding the volume buttons. If you see a yellow triangle, you're good. You're not bricked, and you should be able to flash away, message me if you get this far and I can link you to the files you need to download, ans we won't have to clutter up this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] THEGAMEPLAY94:
My camera is not working, any ideas as to way? I tried different apps from the market also but nothing worked.
[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
anyone understand what he's saying?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Power button is not required to go into download mode. Plug USB cable into PC, Remove battery, hold both Vol up/down and do not release. Place battery back in while still holding both Vol rockers and then plug in USB cable to phone
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yes, he just worded himself wrong. What he is referring to is that in the previous build "ringer" had its own Vol setting and "notifications" had its own Vol setting. In the current build both are linked together with only one adjustment for both. So if you open up volume settings and decrease your ringer Vol you will also be decreasing your notifications volume
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Then how come I missed the answer in that answer, lol ?
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
In version 2.8 the ringtone and notification volume can be adjusted separately. So for example while I'm in the office my ringtone would be quarter volume but my notifications would be silent. That way my could workers don't hear my phone text alert notifications every 10mins or whatever

With 2.9 that option was removed. Ringtone and notifications are the same volume.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I hadn't so thank you. Just glad I got the thing back up and running. Sunday night was not	a fun night, lol
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
Settings. Under Quick links. ASS aka advanced slim settings. General UI.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Unlink Ringtone and Notification

Flash the 2.9_Settings_Patch.zip fellas. you can unlink them now.

cheers
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've read and searched this entire thread.

Does the 2G toggle in the drop down menu not work for anyone else? It's not a big deal at all, and it didn't work for me on the last ROM I came from either. If I turn it to off, the phone will stay on 2G until I uncheck it in settings. If I turn it on, the phone stays on 3G/H until I check it in settings.

I love this ROM so far. I haven't found anything else that doesn't work yet and the battery life seems to be getting better after a day or so.

Even GPS works OK on my phone and my phone has never had great GPS.

What script or whatever can be changed so that screenshots by default are saved as jpeg format and not png.

Because until they save as jpeg, screenshots can not be uploaded into threads through the XDA app. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] toonwar:
Probably a dumb question, but is it possible to update without losing everything? I know that some roms won't wipe everything, at least on my old phones. Is my best bet just to backup with titanium backup and make a backup with Nova launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Most of my updates wouldn't require any more than cache/dalvik wipes.
[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
And work fine it does. Was really hoping for that to be added. Thanks for the best ICS ROM yet. Stable, decent battery, and first (for me) where undervolt is stable too. Awesome!!!
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
I just needed to send a group text and realized I cannot figure out how to do it. I have a couple groups set up in the people app, but for the life of me can't get a group text option in either people or the messaging app. Am I missing something? I can enter the names one at a time, but what would be the point of setting up groups?

Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] haftrige:
Confirmed viber issue

I confirm this is the case with my viber too. No one can hear me but I can hear others. I don't if this is the Rom or application.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

No it is not as I would like to see the other party that calls me. Plus audio calls FC as well
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Can't send a group email either. I think it's an ICS thing

[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
not sure, over at sgs it's wokring i hear. i can't test 2g as my provider is 3g only.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
It's not a big deal to me and I love this ROM.

Also, like I said, this toggle didn't work on the last ROM I was on either.
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
Well that sucks!! Why even have a group option then in the people app? Seems kinda pointless to me if you can set up groups, but not use them for mass texts, email, or anything really.

Geeve

Edit: I know it is not a ROM issue, but quite frustrating :)
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I agree with you there. I've read the entire user manual for the Galaxy Nexus and didn't see any instructions in it either for doing. My next step is to google research and then go to a Verizon store where they sell the ICS Nexus and see if a sales person knows something I dont.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Thanks, I guess I'll use this until I get info on how to change the default save ext for the built in. On previous SLIM they were saved as jpeg. I just downloading more apps from the market as I like to keep SLIM as slim as possible
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
which Slim version saved as jpeg?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I thought the 2.8 did because I used to be able to upload my screensshots through the xda app. I may be getting mixed up with ICSSGS I was on b4 switching to SLIM if it has always been png. Is there a way to change it. I sure as hell ain't going back to any other roms
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
i just looked and source code saves it as png in aokp, mine and cm9. i will see if there is an overlay option. i think what happened is xda premium upgraded and ever since i haven't been able to.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yep, started happening after the update but they swear on the thread about it that it's not the app. However, I've changed the ext on SS's to jpeg and still get the error message in app "Can't upload, not a valid jpeg etx".

However, on my sgTab it works if you choose to upload "full size". Choose "small" and you get the same error message. Probably is the darn app.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
yep, app, damn xda app. they should have the ability to roll back to prev version
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
yeah, and unfortunately I erased my old TiBu version at some point
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Well, at least you HAVE groups now in ICS. In GB you didn't (or maybe it was the Samsung stock contacts app that didn't have groups). Anyway, these groups are synced with groups that you have in your gmail contacts, so for me it's a good step forward, but looking forward to being able to actually USE the groups on my phone! Still, like you said, I'm pretty sure this is an ICS thing, not a ROM thing.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Yes, good point, video would be nice. No FC for me on audio call though. For anyone reading this post - we're talking about google talk.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
VC works fine on Nexus s, SGS,SGS2. All have FFC.
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
There was groups in the stock Froyo and GB from Samsung on TW. I used it alot to send mass texts to my band and to my family which I had set up as groups in the stock contacts app. I always had the option till ICS. It is definately an ICS thing, not a ROM thing.

Geeve

Edit: I love this ROM and this is not a deal breaker for me, just pointing it out is all.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I guess my issue with TW was that the groups didn't sync with my gmail groups, which I use a lot. So the fact that I can at least see my groups on my phone now is a good thing - for me. Just waiting for the next step forward when we can use said groups...

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

So it's the lack of FFC that causes the FC. I wonder if there's a way to fool an app into thinking that my rear camera is my FFC. That would be nice.
[Captivate Android Development] toonwar:
So once again, only after the update, when downloading market apps it says "starting download" and never starts. I had this problem before and i fixed it by running a completely different ROM for a day, then reinstalling slim again and market worked. Any idea what to do?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
TiBu uninstall market, reboot, reinstall
[Captivate Android Development] toonwar:
Alright I'll try that.. also has anyone seen a dramatic decrease in battery life since the update? I have barely used my phone today and it died in less than 11 hours. Usually with a lot of phone use I can get 13+ hours. I'm running juice defender on aggressive mode along with the power saver built in. Also using auto brightness.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Fantastic ROM, of all that I've tried from GB to ICS, this is by far my favourite (yes, favourite, not favorite!) Donation on the way because I'm sticking around.

Also doesn't work for me. Plus the toggle setting doesn't match my system settings ("Use only 2G networks" not checked even when the 2G toggle is set). If I check the "Use only 2G networks" in my system settings, however, it does work. Certainly not a deal breaker though...

Also, on an unrelated topic, wouldn't it be cool if the "Torch" toggle would make the screen go while and full-bright (seeing as the Captivate has no LED)... I don't know if that's a possible/feasible/easy tweak, but it would be cool ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
Minding that plus my phone will sleep death after a charge until it gets down to around 90%...

This is with all ICS roms however...
[Captivate Android Development] toonwar:
I see. I was just wondering. I was just surprised because it went from 15 to 0 in about 10 minutes. And while I'm on the phone, I can almost watch the battery go down
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:

Get rid of juice defender and tweak your NST settings till you find that sweet spot. Every phone is different so it takes some time and testing.

Skype isn't working...

I'm facing a problem with Skype, i saw a previous post where someone is reporting the same issue with Viber calls.

Skype installs ok, chat works, but voice doesn't, i cant' hear anything, when i make a call it connects, i can hear the ringing tone, but no voice, even with the "Echo / Sound Test Service".

It's a very, very nice rom, but definitely i need this feature for my daily job.

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
disable auto-brightness

usually it takes about 3-4 days before the battery life gets better. unless your phone is old like mine and the battery is absolute crap. i cant wait till me new replacement 1800mah battery arrives

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

i saw those posts. i have no idea how you guys can manage that. i'd be happy if my phone stays on for 16hrs.

but then again i have been constantly flashing different kernels and jumping between 2.8 and 2.9

i guess i just need to be patient and wait for the system to settle with 2.9
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Skype works just fine for me, it's still not a great app, but chat, voice and video all work for me just fine.

[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Why disable auto brightness ? And where can I get an 1800 battery that works in the captivate ?
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
I read from a few threads that auto brightness lights drains battery. easier to use the slider bar and adjust it to whatever you need. mines set to very low, like a 1/4 of the bar

you can ebay an 1800mah oem samsung battery for about $3.50

just search for it as "samsung epic touch 4G"

It is suppose to be a direct replacement that allows you to use the same battery cover

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

are there any apps that help you figure out your undervoltage settings?

i remember reading in other forums that there is an app called "quickclock" which runs a bunch of diagnostics to test cpu freq and operating voltages until it lags or crashes.

anything like that for the captivate?

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

while we are on the whole power chat.

can anyone explain to me what the power saver feature actually does?

i mean what does it do behind the scenes? if i have it enabled but data action set to "do nothing" does that mean no power will be saved or is there still something being done behind the scenes in the os?

i tried searching in this thread as well as the i9000 thread and no real solid answers
[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
isn't it kinda a hassle to keep going into settings to manually adjust the brightness every time you need to set it?
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Check the ASS settings. You can have the brightness slider in the notifications pull down.

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

I'm not sure if this is a ROM thing or a "feature" of ICS. But on a recent flight that had wifi available, I realized that I can no longer turn on wifi with Airplane Mode switched on. It says that wifi is on, but it doesn't see any signals (which are there), and inevitably, if I toggle wifi a couple of times with Airplane Mode on, the phone reboots.
