Turns out that dspmanager doesnt really work like it does in cm9. Anyone have a theory why? All I did was drag and drop the apk, do I need some extra stuff?

anyone know if this rom can act as a USB host if I were to get an OTG cable?
[Captivate Android Development] blively2:
Yes, voodoo control works great with this rom...I never liked dsp manager.

[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Voodoo control is much better on Samsung roms for some reason. They don't provide as much amplification as I've noticed with DSPManager. The next time you use a CM9 ROM, check out DSPManager, its really nice and when I bass boost, its a clean and nice bass increase.

Mileage may vary :p

Hmmm....it turns out that if I browse to a video and click on it (ie in Root Explorer), Video Player is an option to play it with (as is Mixzing and ES File Video player).

So while it seems to have video player there, I don't see it in the app list. :confused: But I have something to play it.

FYI...I did look for Google Videos, and find no such app. I did find Google PLay Movies, which appears to be for renting movies. Maybe it plays them too. But I guess I'll use what I have.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just curious if there is any such thing as a lagfix, or method for improving file system speeds for this version like in earlier versions of Android. I haven't seen anything.

So far, my phone seems to be doing great so far. I've had various programs quit, but no freezes. I have intermittent very laggy operation. I'm sure that is because I have so many apps installed, and even though I set the ROM to keep 75MB, it does drop into the 40s, and gets quite slow.

I think I'm needing a phone with more memory :p

Oh, also curious if I should go to the Devil Kernal thread and do some of the tweaking they suggest there.
[Captivate Android Development] blively2:
Seriously.....there's your answer to solve all your lag problems. If you haven't dabbled in the Devil, you're missing out on quite a bit extra, IMHO.

Thanks guys...I'm dabbling in that thread now. Have alrlealdy made some scheduler and governor selection changes, per a thread that Devil's trhead points to.

Have not yet done any actual tweaks. Need a little time for that :p

The best tweaks come from using the 1command app with the devil.Jasn file....wait till you test that f'n little gem!...lol

Hey what happen with AOKP 37?? my phone is really more stable than before .-.!
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
I always keep my phone on vibrate only, but with this Rom I noticed that when I get an incoming call, it only vibrates only once. After that it goes silent. It still allows me to answer it, but does not vibrate anymore. Has anyone else encountered that? Any suggestions on what could be causing it??

Thanks,

[Captivate Android Development] blively2:
I do! LOL - best script ever wrote....for now!

Sent from sunny Florida.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
No, this phone runs on mtd and there's really no thing called a lagfix for this partition style. On Samsung roms, our phones ran on a partition style called rfs which was invented by Samsung I believe and sucks. Hence there was a lag fix that was made that would allow the phone to run on an ext4 partition style which somewhat "fixed" lag.

I hope you realize that setting the minfree memory keeper to higher than stock causes the phone to lag more since it has to constantly close processes to allocate that much free ram. Keeping it too low may cause lags when using apps though. Hence, I always keep that at the stock value (45 mb).

You should check out those tweaks and do a slight live oc if you are having lags. This rom gives me one of the most smoothest android experiences and the best vellamo score (around 1200), so I have no complaints.

I would like to add that it is developer appreciation month, so show your support for all devs in xda! :D

What do you think of the V6 Supercharger scripts with this ROM?

[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
I cant seem to get my phone to keep scheduler, touchwake, or live OC when rebooting.

I have Voltage control app, NSTools, and Command Center. I verify all setting is all 3 apps, reboot, and they are gone.

Any Ideas?should I set NSTools to use init.d script?
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
You really don't need voltage control. Sure you can try the init.d script, but also go into performance in settings and ensure you don't have anything set to apply on boot. Some settings on command center don't stick like Bluetooth disable.

Do try the init.d script or try clearing all your settings in recovery and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks...I'll check that out. I do see in the Devil2 Beta thread a suggestion for that.

I'm game. But looking in the Devil2 thread (certainly guilty at this point of not reading the whole thread yet) I don't see reference to a script. Just info on using Command Center. Any chance it wouldn't be too much trouble to point me to info on the script you are referencing?

I really appreciate your explanation.

No, I didn't. I'll take your suggestion and change back to 45. ... Oh, just went to change, and 45 is not one of the options. But 50 is, so I changed to that.

I am not sure how to use 'live OC', although maybe I did without knowing what it is called. I went into the ROM settings, and changed it. In fact, for the moment, I have it at 1400, and not having any lock up issues, so far. Never been able to go that high on any other Rom/Kernel combination.

You bet. I've done that in the past (not ALL devs ;) ...) but some I utilize. Will likely be doing that here too.

I did go down a path of confusion for a bit. The OP says the Kernel used is Icy Glitch. Another point of confusion, is that when I look at About Phone and get the Kernel version, it says it is version 2.0.61. The highest version listed in the OP of the Devil2 thread is 2.0.55 ... :confused: ... I suspect the OP hasn't updated the OP page, and has the later version buried in the thread somewhere.

Thanks everyone. This ROM is looking very promising for me, and am enjoying the thread and people here.
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
After setting to apply setting via init.d I was getting bad behavior. Phone would but fully into ROM then re-boot several times in a row. After it settled down and was not rebooting I was getting constant stops of gapps. I tried reflashing the ROM and turning all the tweaks off etc.

I just ended up doing a wipe/reset and reinstalling the ROM fresh. TiBU is restoring apps right now.

Is there a concise write up on applying tweaks? I mainly want to set scalier/governor, CPU and live OC, touchwake, BLN, and a few other minor things.

Thanks,.
[Captivate Android Development] rophiroth:
I was wondering the same about the kernel version, and believe this rom is using without problem a devil kernel from other galaxy S version. Can someone confirm this? :)

Nope, it's the up-to-date Captivate version.

[Captivate Android Development] rophiroth:
I see, i never get that far in that forum XD. This kernel is really more stable than before or should be devil kernel plus aokp las build... my random reboots on my old 2010 hardware cappy are really less than before, I only get 1 random reboot yesterday it was with the battery charge under 30%, with other builds of kernel and roms of ICS it just shutdown after seconds after put the phone on idle

Also battery life is good as it should.

PS: I test OC and it just work with 1400mhz without problem or tweeks over volts... that was pretty amazing, my phone wasnt able to OC to more than 1100 hz before :P

PS2: You forget to change on the title of the first page this rom use AOKP b37
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I've been on this ROM wiht .61 kernel for about 36 hours, and no random reboots. I too am running at 1400, when I couldn't on others. No freezes yet. Battery so far seems not as good as SEmiphore, but running faster OC. Do have some lag, interestingly. Haven't figured out what live OC is yet, or what scripts were referenced earlier to use. Will likely be exploring Command Center soon.

BTW...reading through the Devil2 thread, I did find the .61 version. Apparently not keeping OP updated (I don't understand why some devs don't update the OP).

At any rate, this ROM is looking great to me so far.
[Captivate Android Development] :
.61 is a test kernel that is why he didn't update the OP. Also the script is on the last page of the Cappy Devil thread, the script is amazing and has instructions inside of it. Also, read the whole post for the script here. Details on Live OC here.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks. I'll go down that path. I've been away from the DEV forum for too long. My last ROM worked pretty good for a long time.

Just today have learned a bit about (havning not heard of any of these): Live OC (read some of that thread); NST Tools; Deep Idle, and Swap.

Through NST Tools, I turned on LIve OC (trying to interpret some of the suggested possibilities; and turned on Deep Idle. I have read in this thread about Deep Idle possible having issues with the 720p camera. So I tried to record, and it froze up. My first freeze. Fortunately, I set it to come back to default on boot. [EDIT] Just went in and turned on Deep Idle, without the Live OC settings I had attempted, and the video did NOT freeze. So must have been issues with my Live OC settings.

On to more studying.

[EDIT]

I have the script now. But I find I need to make decisions on every setting. Not educated enough on those to know, even though I 've been reading all day.

So, as I said, "on to more studying"
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
I never use deep idle since sometimes I get sleep deaths. I don't wanna mess with it so Devil idle is good enough for me. I still crank out a day's worth of heavy usage on the phone with around 4-5 hours of display time, data on for 50% of the time, wifi always on. Don't forget around an hour for games :p.

That's a hell of a good battery for me. Charge the phone over the night and we have a fresh day of battery draining :p
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:

Thanks. I'll go see if I can get Devil Idle turned on.

By the way. Anyone here successful using 'Leave the Lights on'? I've used it on all my ROMS, but here I'm unsuccessful.

You really don't need it because you can change the button light time out to never in advanced in settings.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
what about having the buttons light up for a couple seconds after touching the screen?

several GB roms had this facility

in a dark room it is very helpful to have the buttons light, but not stay on
[Captivate Android Development] theaudioguy:
I would like this function as well. That is one thing I miss about the samsung gingerbread roms.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Sorry about having to ask this, but , advanced settings where? I presumed you meant in REcovery, but I see no settings there for the button lights, and I see no menu option for advanced settings in the OS Settings menu.

Also, does the setting then have the button lights on Any and All the time the screen is on? That is what I want, and what Keep the Lights on does, except not on this ROM.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
It should be in the settings app. Look around, I'm on CM9 and its on the main settings page. Look for advanced or Galaxy S Settings or something.

Or maybe its not there? Someone help me here plz.

It is in the Galaxy S Settings app under the section entitled "Backlight Timeout"....select "Never".

[Captivate Android Development] :
Is there really a big difference? I was always scared putting it at maximum.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Don't be scared. Because the default should be maximum, so you really can't "increase" vibration intensity from stock default values.

EDIT: default is not maximum but I don't think using the Max is dangerous. I have been using max all the time and its only a little bit stronger than stock so it shouldn't cause harm.

It worked, thank you. In case anyone wants my instructions which worked for me and should work for others on this ROM.

1. Unzip the file linked in the post provided. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510248

2. Delete your exchange email account.

3. Stop any Exchange and Email services that may be running.

4. Using some sort of file explorer that lets you change permissions and delete go to system/app and delete Exchange.apk and Exchange.odex.

5. copy the Exchange.apk only ( it does not seem we need to replace the other apk that was in the zip) to system/app.

6. Change the permissions to match the other .apk files in that location.

7. Reboot.

8. Add your exchange account.

9 Profit!

[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
Quick question. I posted this before but did not see an answer. I had v3 dark theme and the "people" and "messaging" apps looked great. Black backgrounds and all. I skipped v4 because there was no dark theme. On v5 dark theme, the "people" and "messaging" apps have white backgrounds. I even tried flashing the zip from the theme thread with no luck. My guess is that the themed .apk files need to be odexed and then pasted/flashed into this ROM. Is that right? Are the apks from v3 the same as v5+? Could I pull the .apks from the v3 .zip and paste them into the correct directory on my phone?

How can I get back to the look of the theme on v3 with the battery life and stability of v5 (or v6)?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
the boot animation freezes every few seconds

why is this, is it a symptom of a deeper problem?

on v6
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
The AOKP boot animation does that, its just how the animation is. If it doesn't boot after 3 minutes or so, then you are stuck in a loop, so flash another rom for the time being.

I think you could try this. For all the apps that you want to theme (such as mms.apk, contacts.apk, etc) delete the .apk file and the .odex file. For example, if you wanted to theme Mms.apk, delete mms.apk and mms.odex in system/app in root explorer, etc. After deleting all those, flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?k2bk6r98q428yj6 in CWM and everything should be themed good.

If you do it right, you won't get any crashes...I hope it works!
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Okay, everything should be fixed. OP updated.
