RE:

I am using the captivate I897, and when i was on Lanight i kept it stock ( i didn't flash to a different kernel or change a thing)

I am sorry, but i don't understand what you mean by transparent or how to fix an issue with key mapping (why would it come with me when i go back to CM9?).

I will try darky's rom later, and see what happens.

Thank you very much for trying to solve my issue, i know that your very busy. any help would be great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Transparent means the lockscreen background is transparent.

I never faced this issue so I'm pretty much dumb founded. sorry for being not much help.

Did you flash CM10? Try it and see if it fixes it.

External SD mount

Hi Ace.

This is an awesome ROM as always, but I cannot get my external SD mounted. I tried dirty and clean installs, but no luck.

Anybody had this problem? What can I try?

Regards.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
You can mount it from the recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telpesoron:
I've tried to execute "mounts and storage - mount /external_sd" but it returns "Error mounting /external_sd" :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Flash devil 1.6.1 or semaphore and let me know. If the issue remains, I'll have to recreate the error on my device and post the fix.

Go under /mnt/emmc and see if you find there. If not see /emmc/ and report back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telpesoron:
Excellent man! Worked perfect with devil 1.6.1.

Thank you!

voodoo color fix ?

6.6 DD was best

8.0 is also best but the yellowish lag that comes when unlocking .. any fix i know its from voodoo colors !
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flip_RX:
I successfully installed 8.0 dd. All is good but I have noticed the following things:

1. custom ringtones did disappear after setting them, the ROM ringtones did not disappear so I will try copying some of the custom ones to the system/media folder to see if they stick.

2. While using es file explorer, I tried to share a file through bluetooth and in the share menu it only shows as options gmail, email, drive, evernote and no bluetooth. I had never seen this in previous versions.

Overall great ROM, fast & stable. Best version for me so far.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

I had searched and read that setting all gamma to 0 fixes that yellowish when unlocking, I tried it on previous version and it worked, have not tried it on 8.0. Some did not like the fix since it basically takes off some of the effects achieved by tweaking.

This ROM is incredible, i dont want to change it, just one thing i am facing problem with the camera because i cannot record in hd nor in standard definition, try to add the patch that is for playback and hugmen but i am facing an error when i try to install it through clockwordmode recovery, do you know any workaround for this issue? thanks in advance

ringtones

Hey,

I"m on 8 DD and have the problem with disappearing ringtones.

The built in ones are there, but if I try to put a custom one it will disappear.

I tried to copy the ringtone to the media directory in system and even converted the mp3 to ogg but it doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
You have three options:

- Try flashing ringtone fix after putting files under /system/media/

- Factory Reset

- Flash Semaphore kernel

I flashed 8.5 and I encountered a problem where I couldn't mount the sdcard anymore and it won't boot to ROM, just to Devil. The sdcard is actually the external sdcard, even when I go into the Devil file manager, I can't find the internal card. Any solutions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Flash latest semaphore or 1.6.1 of Devil. The newer devil kernel somewhat seems to conflict with rom's mount settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shal99:
Didn't work unfortunately. Also tried to flash back to stock w/ odin and the sdcard still cannot be found, so it gets stuck in a bootloop. Is it too early to say that it's a paperweight?

It will work if I let the system believe that my external sdcard is my internal sdcard. Then it just shows that I have 60ish MB free. I also can't download anything from the Play Store if using this method, since it'll say that "there is no sdcard present".

:eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Please flash stable Lanight versions. Alpha don't have things working thus alpha.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srdondo:
I might try this. Sounds good. Right now I'm using a CM9 JB ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeCastellon:
I've tried Helly Bean and CM10 ROMs on my Cappy, but they lagged so much it made my cappy look like it was having a seizure.

I've been only a little while on Lanlight and OMG I can tell why you call it Extreme Butter! I've never felt my Cappy so smooth!

I do miss some options and I don't know if it's possible to have them. For instance, I want to increase the amount of rows on my homescreen. Back in CM10 I had the option to configure Launcher Settings. Is this possible on Lanlight, or do I have to change the Launcher ?

I also like how the camera buttons are transparent, like in the S3 sort of thing. I don't see a way to view the photos I've taken though, or maybe I haven't discovered it.

BTW I'm running 8.5, it's the first ever I try, so I don't know what should be "working" and what not.

Overall, this is the best performing ROM I've experienced so far and it seems to do great on battery. I'm really excited!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Organized_Chaos:
I've been using this ROM for a while and I love it. I'm not sure which version of the ROM I'm using but it's android 4.1.1. I don't plan on upgrading since everything is working except one thing:

Most of the apps I'm trying to download from the play store are not compatible now. Can someone upload a working build.prop for me to use? I tried to modify mine to look like a nexus s but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Specifically I am wanting to download the weather channel app, Pandora, Facebook, and Google+.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Did you change DPI under build.prop?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
OK there are so many things I see that I don't have the time to list. I don't usually answer questions to someone that don't have the slightest clue of what they are doing.

ro.build.version.release=4.0.1

Lanight never came for ICS. The fact you are running JRO03U(which was the closest leak to 4.1.2 and mind you, no other ROM had it when Lanight released it. Most roms never had it and jumped to 4.1.2).

ro.sf.lcd_density=200

Change it to 240. Reboot.

I don't know why anyone would copy Nexus build.prop and not the format your original ROM was. Maybe you were looking to research potential causes to make your phone useless but yeah.

Please give me a legitimate reason. Prove me wrong and bring my faith back to humanity. I beg of you.

Edit: sorry about harsh response. Not a typical day, lot of things going on in life. Expect this to happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
What's CM9 JB ROM? I thought CM10 was JB and CM9 for ICS. As said in my post above, prove me wrong. It must be a typo?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arie.pe:
Hey. I think that the fix solved the problem.

Now I have another one:

When I'm connecting the phone to the charger for the night, in the morning the phone is dead. It's been a couple of times already and just started recently. It is possible to turn the phone on after it unplugged from the charger (without removing the battery) .

Any suggestions beside reflash?

BTW I'm still on 8DD.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Not a rom problem. Please flash Semaphore kernel or untick deep idle in devil config if you have it on. Flash the latest devil kernel or dirty flash 8.5alpha. It also depends on your custom settings and things you added on top of the rom. I don't have this problem and no one else seemed to report this so i'm guessing it's either the kernel or the custom settings/things you added.

How often it happens even after doing what been told above? If it was only once, you need to recreate the problem again for a potential fix...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arie.pe:
I'll try the things above and report.

It happened couple of times in the last week. I dont have the deep idle on, and I haven't applied any custom settings.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: tried to flash 8.5 - didn't help. Restored from previous backup and flashed 8.5. I'll see what will happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Organized_Chaos:
It was originally 4.1.1. I changed it to 4.0.1 because I thought 4.1.1 might have been too new. I thought changing that to an older version might trick the Play Store into letting me download apps I wanted.

All this did was make everything look big and ugly. I changed it to 240, cleared data/cache for the Play Store, rebooted the phone and still could not get the apps I wanted.

It was something I read on another forum (of course I can't find it now...). It was something about Nexus typically getting new versions of Android first. Hindsight is 20/20, now I realize that doesn't really make sense.

My apologies. I work 10 hours a day some days and have a newborn child. I don't have much time to spend learning every little thing about Android.

I don't really understand what the purpose of having this thread is if the answers are going to be like this. I will probably start looking around for a different ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telpesoron:
Hey, Ace does all this work withouth asking for anything in exchange. If it was me, I wouldn't invested a bit of time analyzing your file. If you want to make your own experiments it's ok, but don't came here shouting "This doesn't work!" when you messed up things without knowing what were you doing.

Yes, I think this is the best solution for everyone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades90:
Sorry to come out as rude. Reflashing the ROM will fix most issues. The thing is, the purpose of this thread is to fix/answer and not experiment. Anyways, pull build.prop from lanight 6.5. And if you'd like to try different ROM, feel free.

Google market avoid DPI changed phone to install apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arie.pe:
So the first night was ok. The phone was awake.

Hope it will last.

Now another problem : I cant activate the voice dial from my bluetooth headset. I think that it is since I've updated to 8DD.

It won't work on 8.5 ether.

Another thing is the network selection - I'm choosing my network manually and when the phone is restarted it won't connect to the network by itself. I get an error that saying no service . Selected network is unavailable. So i need to chose the network manually again.

Thanks.

Probably you need update Voice Search to the latest version

Earlier Google Search versions prevents from using 3rd party voice dialers if you're using any
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsnowboard:
Music on SD Card

I'm using 8.0 DD

I have all of my music on my external SD card in /emmc/media/audio/music/

After the phone is on for some time, going to the music player shows no music. It seems like for whatever reason it disappears (it is usually working shortly after boot). I've tried unmounting/re-mounting the SD card with no luck. Restarting music player (Winamp or Google Music) does nothing. This only happens with the LANIGHT ROM.

Other than that, my phone is terribly slow/unresponsive, but I haven't found a better ROM yet so I guess if other people still like using this ROM on the Captivate, it must just be me. Oh well, WP8 is out so I'm just using this phone until I upgrade.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arie.pe:
The phone was dead again this morning.

Is the fact that it is impossible to turn the phone on until I disconnect it from the charger saying anything?

Also the battery isn't fully charged.

I'll try to flash different kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arie.pe:
Flashed 8DD and semaphore.

You wouldn't happen to be using a launcher would you?

I had those same issues while using GO Launcher, I tried leaving only the stock Trebuchet that comes with LANIGHT and everything seems to work great now.

I do wish this trebuchet was more configurable but in the end I prefer speed and stability.

Btw I'm using 8.5 now

Please see opening post in LaNight theme. Or you can install 8.5 ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vo01985:
Oh yes I see. Flashed that fix and now it seems to work...great! Unfortunately I sometimes get android.process.media force close, don't really know why it's doing that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabarym:
Please check there active processes. Mine android.process.media was busy all the way.... it consumes CPU and battery.. so I had no other option than disable it with Rescan Media Root. Now I cannot see my media files. However the phone is fast responsive and battery last long.

I use quickpic gallery, poweramp as substitutes to music and gallery apps (quick pic and power amp has own built- in media scanners). So it is a small trade off.. though my phone is flying now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vo01985:
I'm looking for an ICS/JB ROM that has actual good battery life. Every I've tried just seems to suck my batteries empty really fast. I've already bought an 1800mAh battery but that one dies too fast too. In fact, everywhere I go I bring an extra battery pack, and a lot of times the phone is dead after about 2ish screen hours? Just way too fast. If only I had a good battery life I would last a few more months with this phone. I hope this ROM has it.

Anyway the issue seems to be fixed, thanks!

No, just the default launcher that LANIGHT provides (stock I think?)

Side note: Can I disable the search softkey? Mine seems to press itself LIKE CRAZY to the point that my phone might as well be bricked. I think I'm about done with custom ROMs, not really worth it for something I need on a day-to-day basis
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The search softkey going nuts is usually due to humidity. Putting your phone in a bag of rice for a couple days should fix that..

Other option would be to disable them, most custom ROMs allow it and you can enable them on screen.

Figured out that my SDCARD is corrupted or something like that. Now have to use my external as my internal, but by doing this my camera won't work, saying "there is no external storage present." Tried editing my vold.fstab, but I guess I'm doing it incorrectly because it would just stick onto the loading screen when booting up and would never move on.

I was on the recent alpha when it happened. The problem seems not to be exclusive to your ROM, but is a JB/ICS issue in general.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beeg Boy:
Hello Everyone,

My Nexus 7 is rooted and was running AOKP.

I decided to find another Rom to try out and downloaded one using ClockWorkMod.

I rebooted into recovery and did a full wipe, then I installed the Rom.

When I clicked reboot a message popped up but I was not able to read it entirely, it said something to the effect of "flashing this rom will overwrite........" and I didnt catch the rest.

I tried to hit "Go Back" but the N7 rebooted into the new Rom.

It was basically a stock rom so I tried to boot back into recovery and CWM was not installed.

I downloaded it from the market and could not boot into recovery.

So, I downloaded RootChecker and it said that I did not have Root Access.

I ended up having to use the N7 tool kit to re-root my N7.

My question is, how did I lose root access?

I am assuming that the rom I installed was basically a stock rom and that is how I lost root access but I am just not sure.

Have any of you experienced this?

Any thoughts on this?

Just curious.

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered somewhere else, I did search for it before I posted.

Thank you,
