Odd issues with mediaserver...

I noticed that one of the items in the changelog mentions a fix for the default ringtone being set to non-silent, but since moving from 2.6 to 2.7, mediaserver just keeps segfaulting whenever I try to play anything at all.

With messages from processes such as:

10-18 21:32:33.800: W/WVMExtractor(2359): Failed to open libwvm.so
10-18 21:32:36.077: A/libc(2359): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x2a044004 (code=1), thread 2600 (gle.mp3.decoder)

10-18 21:45:48.311: W/IMediaDeathNotifier(642): media server died

I'm not really sure what's going on, but this is an odd issue that affects the system UI and most things that play advanced audio (Music, Youtube for example), but things like the volume beep, dialtones, and a few in-game sounds (Such as on Draw Something) still work.

I've already attempted a reflash and Dalvik wipe, if it persists I will try again on full wipe over the weekend

Yep, only way to get it working again that I know of is to reflash the base ROM and flash the themed package. You'll be set

What can I do to stop HD games from force closing? So far it happens in Hero of Sparta and Nova. They play great for a few seconds and then force close. I haven't made any changes in devil kernel settings or cpu settings; Completely stock.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not Slim stock. That can be a very long list of possibilities. How much ram? Did you try to bump the voltage. Any log cats, though I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the rom.

I'm starting to think its just that those games have a problem with JB because other games work great.

PS. Warning, DO NOT INSTALL CHAINFIRE 3D. I learned the hard way because I wanted to play some of my brother's tegra games like I used to do on CM7 but after I installed the chainfire drivers and restarted, I got a bootloop at the devil logo and it wont go into recovery. Had to flash KK4 and start all over. Luckily I made a nandroid before I tried this so its no biggie.

Question. Can I restore a nandroid from any other JB rom or does it have to be from this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uh if they share the same partition layout I wouldn't see a problem. Else you will need to flash to said rom then restore nandroid.
[Captivate Android Development] droyd666:
Anyone else notice a little flicker when turning the screen on and off. It doesn't happen all the time, maybe like half the time. Is there a way to get rid of this little nuisance? I must be really satisfied with this rom because I can't come up with anything other than this to complain about LOL.

Back again, a full wipe didn't fix it quite right, so I started from scratch after playing rom-juggle. Strangely enough, when only Base is installed, sound works fine, but as soon as I add Gapps, it breaks. Once in a while, I get a FC from DSP manager, which I never used or set up... But it's weird since, as far as I know, a default configuration shouldn't be messing up...

One thing I noticed is that during the addition of the Google account, it asked if I wanted to restore this phone from Google, which I did. Recently though, starting from scratch with only base and gapps, it did not ask for a restore (nor did it launch the first-time-setup, which was odd). That seems to have worked, and I still have sound working.

Bottom line I guess, is to not restore your phone from Google? As a side note, restoring from Google also caused the error 942 in the Play Store

I'm thinking about using this ROM

I use RemICS-JB v3.0.1 ROM, latest version.

with Semaphore Kernel, also latest version ( Semaphore_JB_2.4.0sc.tar )

Does this Slim ROM work on the same kernel? or which one?

What are known bugs for this ROM?

thanks & BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] arse87zx:
Rem is based off slim. So you will have the same bugs and it does use the same kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
excuse me, u mean that i can flash Slim ROM, on the Semaphore Kernel ?

Just boot in recovery and flash the slim rom file?

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
In short, yes ;) Slim is using the same kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Rem was based on a very old version of Slim Bean. So bugs will differ

Yup should be able to.
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
It doesn't work.

After choosing the file from sd, it aborts asking for format / mount system, data.

I've mounted system, data, and formatted them, the same result !

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] zzmomo73:
Rem 3.0.1 is based on cm10 it was based on slimbean in v2.0 but they changed the base
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Means it'd on a different partition. Follow 2.6 instructions on that changelog.

Google Voice search force closes

I'm running 2.7, google search and google now work but when i try to do a voice search it recognizes my question but when it goes to retrieve the answer it force closes. It worked on 2.6 fine. I tried a reinstall of everything, ROM, GAPPS and SREC_VoiceDialer_Addon_GoogleNow and the update to SREC_VoiceDialer_Addon_GoogleNow. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
So, which kernel to use with this ROM?

Please refer me to link.

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I include Semaphore. You use what ever you want as long as you don't come whining that stuff don't work.

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
I use Semaphore_JB_2.4.0sc kernel, and installing this ROM didn't work !!

what is the solution?

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Did you follow the instructions for installing 2.6? You need top do the install three times for it to work, just like the instructions say.
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
Excuse me, i'm new to this device and don't know many details.

Now i'm installing this file ( slim-2.6.0-i897.zip )

after that ?

How to flash this file?

In the result, i want to use Slim ROM.

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] droyd666:
That's odd because I came over from the latest RemICS-JB with Semaphore and SlimBean installed just fine. The only thing was that the Semaphore kernel remained on the phone instead of the Devil kernel which I thought was supposed to be flashed automatically with SlimBean. Anyway I just nandroided and got my devil kernel back since I just wanted to test drive the RemICS-JB. Didn't like it very much :p
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
Thanks for ur post,

U mean thet Devil kernel is OK for Slim ROM, if so:

Do u mind please refere me to link for the latest version of Devil Kernel?

You would have better luck asking in the devil thread.

I swear to God, i didn't understand any thing, do you mind please refer my to the thread link ? or to the latest version for Devil Kernel for JB for my i897.

EDIT::

I've found this thread, in witch i've found this link,

I think i can download the second or last one !

Hope i'm right this time

Is it not possible for you to look for the thread yourself? I don't see what the problem is.

I think there was a partitioning issue on 2.7 - I flashed some other JB ROM before slim and all was good.

Now, is there a way to disable the CRT lock animation?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nope not a partition issue, updater.sh is funky on that build. And no you can't disable the animation. Not in rom at least. Maybe if you mess with the framework.
[Captivate Android Development] joonair:
When I press wipe data/factory reset, it just blinks and doesn't do anything.

I assumed it still did it so i wiped cache and tried flashing 2.7

but I still get the error.. what now? :( seems like I can't get out of the devil recovery mode too. why can't I reboot to normal?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Redownload the ROM... because your system partition is missing I believe...
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
For those doing the GPS/modem dance, 2.7 gives me horrible GPS performance with the same modem that had previously given glorious performance on 2.4/2.6. I danced around 5 or 6 modems and finally found that the UGKG3 modem from this page has me back at good GPS performance with acceptable data speeds in the NY Metro region on AT&T. Your mileage may vary, but if you're on AT&T in the US, try the modems listed that are "Default 850mhz" until you find one that's right for you (the list of defaults is the top link on the modem listing page).

And I like the Slim lockscreen logo. It looks pretty slick.
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Also try flashing CM10 first...
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
To disable the CRT animation, you can go into Developer Options and change Window Animation Scale to .5 or disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I thought it was looking for the latest version of the Devil Kernel =|

When flashing 2.7 fresh it's best to flash 2.6 two or three times then flash 2.7. At least most people have gotten good results that way. I personally think if you're not on Semph Kernel to flash 2.6 and reboot into recovery (might try to boot in which case do the 3-button into recovery) until you are and then flash 2.6 one or two more times then flash 2.7. I say flash from Semph because I tend to have bad luck when flashing with Devil.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Thats not disabling and it will mess up how other animations work (or can at least).

As for the updater.sh problem ya that was my bad. 2.8 shouldn't have that problem and I've been so busy with everything else that I've just spent the time I do have working on 2.8 (which is going smoothly now ;) ). If all goes well release should be soon :victory:

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
Exactly, that's what i'm looking for !

I see in your signature that u use Devil3 1.7.5 kernel

The last version i found was 1.6.0 (Devil3_1.6.0_Jelly_Helly_cappy_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120927.tar)

How can i get the most recent one, plz?

(Of course, i use i897)

Untill now, i didn't get success on flashing this ROM,

I'll try this solution.

BRGRDS
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
If he was, he shouldn't have been posting in the Semaphore and Slim Bean threads asking for it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
So true. And the Devil thread is on the first page of the Captivate forums so it's not like it's hard to find...
[Captivate Android Development] mohgaza:
Now, i flashed Devil3 1.7.5 kernel,

after that, installed 2.6 rom ( slim-2.6.0-I897), rebooted the phone, I noticed that the logo have been changed from (devil samsung galaxy s ) to (build on semaphore ),

then rebooted in recovery, flashed again, the same step twice, and after that try to install ( Slim-GNEX-VZN-2.7.1-OFFICIAL.zip), but get error status 0.

Where is the wrong step i do?

please gimme full details steps. :(

hotmail/ corporate mail

I use hotmail/live email and the settings for push. I have used them ever since gingerbread on the cappy. It has always worked great for email, contacts, and calendar. With JB, it works fine for a few hours, then out of the blue it will show 0 contacts, no calendar entries and no new emails (previously retreived mails still show in the mail app). It does this will all 4.1.x ROMs I have tried (CM10 variants and SlimBean). I have done multiple flashes all with wipes of everything including ODIN back to stock Froyo and starting from scratch. For now I will just go back to 4.0 until this is resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] mateo124:
I hate to be rude but the CWR included on this ROM is terrible. I don't see why they went to try and make a touch CWR on the Captivate. I would normally be happy to see this but the thing is I'm stuck in recovery, and nothing seems to want to flash. Every time I insert a microSD card it wipes it and I'm unable to get it to flash. I know I'm stupid for not doing a NANDroid but seriously? How could it be so broken? Any assistance would be nice

I don't know what you are doing but volume rockers still work as up and down and just use home key vs power button. Only issue you might have is random wiping of SD card when downgrading to ICS.
