Well, that's something interesting :D I don't know, I really like your rom with this theme(though it does not go with the name :P ), and you yourself said that you were wishing for the Facebook inside Xperia feature for a long time. But on the other hand, it has already the amazing stability of a stock rom. Make a poll. It's always the easiest way. You can even go with stock (nexus), and let people customize it (like I did with Helly Bean) but then again, I notice some loss of snappiness. Ah, my opinion, though I talk a lot tonight :D Whatever you do, it'll be fast, and that's the whole point of it.
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
I would try a Touchwiz themed Rom...

Anyone else having the occasional issue of the phone lagging when the battery goes below 30%?
[Captivate Android Development] iosmonster:
Try contacting the other developer making remics and work with him cuz it wud just be weird if there were more than one touchwiz ROMs
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
8.0!!! uhlala...

well i have a question.... will you convert this (captivating xperia rom) rom to touchwiz or u'll make another rom?!

if you are cooking another rom with touchwiz ui then it'll be fun

but if you are changing the bravia UI to Touchwiz UI then i believe that the rom looks great with the bravia UI :)

and i like the idea of polling for it though!
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
8.0!

can't wait it )

hope to have my external sd mount issue fixed in 8.0
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
+1 for Touchwiz theme. Just back to stock kk4 cause I miss Samsung stuffs so much. The voodoo sound on stock rom is so great
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
No touchwiz here. What you have now is as good.

Would recommend getting rid of some stuff, to gain some memory back. Phone started running hot last couple days running certain apps.
[Captivate Android Development] desilla:
NO NO NO Touchwiz!!!!!!!!!!!! cant stand it.

Please stay with Sony theme!!
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
+100000 for touchwiz! i'd love to see that! :D :D

Issue is whenever I send a long message to someone or I get a long message I can't copy it to forward to someone else. I am able to copy shorter messages. I want to know if it's a whatsapp, whatsapp+, rom or device issue.

we just have to update over 7.5 right? no need to do a full wipe right!?also i have seeder installed... do i have to remove it before flashing?!

hey i wonder whats track id is??? is that a phone finder or somthing?

Thanks Mr. Sepphi.... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] NoDze:
Dude, TrackID is Sony's Shazam/Soundhound-like app xD also, I think you should uninstall seeder before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
thanks a lot but honestly i've tried both things before and it just slows my phone down :confused: i've even tries diff roms and everything but still its not fast. && best of all, sepphi's ROMS are sooo fast and battery friendly so i'd just like to see a touchwiz themed ROM from him! :laugh:

Some BUGS on v7.5

Hi,

I have test this version, and I found one bug, the keyboard, original keyboard don`t work if the language is set to PORTUGUES BRAZIL.

The keyboard stop running everytime....

So somebody can fix it?

Question: This new version, I guess the ROM is draining a lot of battery.... I put my captivate in charge like at 7am when the cap notify me its charged the battery only stay ON for less then 2h ...

And my battery isnt older!! I have bught a new one like one week ago.

Its normal? Only me have the drain battery fast?

Cya!
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Yep, as stated, the keyboard is english only. To use other languages use the xperia keyboard.

About your battery, that's not normal at all. Install better battery stats to try and find out what's going on.
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:

So I flashed jb_2.8.0c, reboot, dalvak/cach, flashed update, Status (7) error. Then reboot recovery flashed again, And now I see the nexus color X, so we will see.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
No! that's not official version, lol. That was for a tester, man, you guys are quick haha
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
i think go sms pro is better than stock messenger, and could you include power amp on rom?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
First, that avatar is badass. I hope you know Toriyama is making a movie that comes out this year , Battle of the Gods.

Second, I can include poweramp, its a 15 day trial so I think that's enough time for people to test it.:good:

Gosms pro uses more ram though.
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
yep
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Testing for 8.0 is done. Uploading....updating first post etc.

p.s. cant find the v8 in Goo manager :(
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Check back in an hour, sometimes goo.im takes awhile
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Yes you have to remove it. Flashing over 7.5 should be fine but I recommend you do a full wipe. There are a lot of system differences to 7.5.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Check now
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
first see, boot animation is amazing :P
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:

First boot is gonna take loooooooong....
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
yes, i see, hahaa. until now, i got first setting, very amazing for boot animation again =))

ohhhh

power amp are included :P
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
Hi sephi!

After several attempts, i cant download the v7.5. :crying:

And didnt found the download link of v8.0 at fist page!

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Check the first post again. Use firefox and install the downthemall extension. Try the putlocker link and choose download with downthemall when downloading the file. This should be more stable for you and if the download hangs, you'll be able to resume it. Also I am uploading to hotfile, I'll send you that link if the others don't work.

You should also notice it gets faster the longer you use it;)

V 8.0 from Goo.Im

Everything is running great so far Sephi. I did the wipes and installed 8.0 without a hitch. Took a while to boot but with large changes that is not unusual. I will run it today and let you know if I find anything. Great job as usual. Thanks for keeping us interested.:good:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
MD5
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Yeah, Goo.im seems to be hanging the download even from my laptop. I've just been going to goo.im using my laptop then sending the file to my phone because it was fast but guess I will try another link.:cool:

I left the dl window open even though it was hung for like 10 min and it just now started to continue the download. A lot of traffic maybe but I'm just saying goo.im works, just hangs from time to time but seems to resume on its own if left alone.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Just got done installing 8.0 and I'm going to run it all day and see how she runs. One thing I can note from the start that was the same in 7.5, the newest launcher that you're using does not work with custom DPI. The solution I've found is to replace it with your launcher that was in 7.4. Other than that I was wondering if it would be possible in the future to add in the ability to move the status bar clock to the center?

Great ROM though and you manage to keep improving an already fantastic package!
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
sorry sepphi, my phone dont get charger when it's on. if i turn off my phone and charge again then allthing is normal. why? what should i do?
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
i'd second him... well the battery icon (upper right) is showing only (red) 0 in the battery circle but the phone is charging i know it because the percentage on lock screen is increasing while charging, some times the screen is missing touch while unlocking pattern...

is this because i didn't do a full wipe? i just updated the 8.0 package over 7.5!

Seeking your advice sepphi :fingers-crossed:

why power amp is there when we have walkman :confused:

p.s. All you done in 8.0 is great sparing a lot of memory... :good:
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
but i do full wipe :D
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.0](even faster-er?!)

Your battery needs to be calibrated.

Poweramp still has the best sound, try it and see. If you don't like it just uninstall, it's a user app.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.0](even faster-er?!)

How is it behaving now? I can't replicate that problem.
[Captivate Android Development] vileladelima:
Finaly!!!!

Thanks Thanks Sephhi!

Finaly i've downloaded just doing some backups and will try just after finish!

Without the DownThemAll the the download never finishes!!

One question: How to calibrate a bettery?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I think I found the problem! 8.1 is coming...there were new tweaks causing a conflict.
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
Any chance of the stock apps button on the stock launcher instead of the JB one?
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
yea, no problem, i charge when turn off the phone and now it work well hehe
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.0](even faster-er?!)

Running great, it's running cooler too. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Done.

8.1(bugfix release)

-[Bugfix]custom implementation of seeder (do not install seeder yourself)

-supercharger/seeder working in tandem

-launcher app icon changed to sony style

-more multi-tasking/less lag

-better gaming

-less "free ram" (don't concern yourself about it, large apps will run fine)

If you are on 8.0 just wipe caches and flash.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Goo.im link is up.

Putlocker is up.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.1](Optimized)

Would like to try 8.1. I'll Odin if I do cause even with same steps as when 7.5 worked 8 was still giving me too many issues
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
I wonder if it's just my issue - but starting from 7.5 i can't use both internal and external SDcard

if i insert my ext card system mount only it and skip my internal

if i remove external - it mounts my internal memory

sephhi , how can i mount them both - please help , it was ok on < 7.5
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.1](Optimized)

Yep, afraid it's just you. The only thing I can think of is to backup and reformat both cards. I vaguely recall not being able to mount my external in cm9 and that took care of it. That's last resort though. If you boot with your external out of the phone, your internal mounts fine? If you then insert your external, the phone unmount your internal and mounts the external?
[Captivate Android Development] nsyik:
Can you please post the original keyboard zip of jelly bean? I don't really like the way Xperia keyboard work.. Thank you for the smooth and fast 8.1!

[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
just tried cm-10.1-20130119-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd.zip - and it loaded my 2 cards fine at startup , so it's not a card issue

when i recovered from backup with captivating 8.1 - it wont mount both cards
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
my phone is getting hang over time after updated to 8.1, phone goes blank and not even respond to power button, every time i have to extract the battery out and restart the phone... :(

i updated over 8.0 after wiping cache partition only, please guide me if i had to wipe the delvik cache as well...

Please help... i m going back to 7.5 for now...

Thanks & best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
I had a question about the Home being locked at 1. Does that apply to ANY launcher you have set as the default homescreen or is that just something you did that applies only to the sock launcher? I'm using Go Launcher EX and recently updated from version 5 where the launcher was CONSTANTLY redrawing the homescreen after exiting an either either by using the Home softkey or just hitting the Back softkey until it ended up back at the homescreen.

oh and a minor bug (I think) not sure if anyone else has noticed this. The "Show touches" checkbox under Development options doesn't actually show touches. (The little white dot showing where your finger(s) touched the screen)

Oh one more thing while I'm here.. Is there an easy way to change the screen density? I kinda miss the 182 I had on Slim ROM. It gives you more room on the screen if you don't mind that some things are a little smaller. (i.e. the thickness of the status bar) :)
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
could you remove some element which have the same feature such as raindar and google maps,NStool and samephore...
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
I am tired of uninstalling Music Ocean too..
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Did you do a full wipe from 7.5 to 8.0?

Yes you need to wipe dalvik as well.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I'll make them user apps in next version so you can uninstall what you don't use from the launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It applies to any launcher you've set as the default.

If you want to use a custom dpi, you can use this The launcher doesn't support custom dpi yet so you will have to use the launcher from 7.4 or one of your choosing.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Did you read the rest of my reply? I can't help you troubleshoot if you don't answer my questions.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
no sir i didn't do a full wipe as you suggested me that it will be fine if i flash 8.0 over 7.5 but you did recommended a full wipe (i just updated the 8.0 over 7.5 so that i could save my settings)

now there is the problem i didn't wipe the delvik... just wipe the cache partition...

i'll live with the 7.5 till next release though... didn't like much the 8.1 :( its better but still i'll wait for the next one...

please take your time... (i know you have your life as well) even though i don't know how you manage to do so much development in such small amount of time (as i guess you have launched a new version every week :cyclops: )

I like and admire what you do... thanks :)

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V8.1](Optimized)

Loving the new Rom bro. Haven't had any issues so far. Socmuch that my gf finally decided to upgrade from gingerbread so I installed in her happy too. She how has one issue and that because of being used to gingerbread. She is used to the doc being visible when she is going thru her apps so she can quickly make a call from within the app drawer.

I find music ocean useful to me
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
Ok, so after a couple days now with 8.1, I am starting to get a sleep of death, sometimes it wont wake up at all or it will wake up with a really dim screen, both require a restart to fix. I also have a issue where the keyboard takes forever to load when I fire up the Market.

8.1 is really smooth though, I say the smoothest since 5.2, I have around 90 ram free. Very pleased with it as usual. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
did you do a cache wipe? you had to wipe the delvik cache as well before upgrading to 8.0/1, its recommended... i didn't do it, was having the same issue that you mentioned, now i got back to 7.5 that is stable for me, not having any issues on it... :)
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
Yeah I wiped everything going from 7.5 to 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I think seeder introduced some stability issues. I'm already at work on the next version which won't include it.

8.2

-seeder removed

-kernel tweaks

-updated base

-nitro lag nullifier(credit zeppelinrox)

-minfree values adjusted for gaming

-sysctl tweaks
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Sir, r you sure its seeder??? well i have seeder installed in 7.5 not having any issues at all...

i think seeder might be conflicting with some other stuff you added in 8.0/8.1...

i would also want to high light that the boot animation was fast when it was small (in 8.0) but it was dams slow when its on full screen mode (in 8.1)

i guess it should remain small or replaced with the jelly bean X or some samsungish (new/cool stuff - as always) in next issue.

but its only my opinion... if some one agrees please hit thanks :p

i hope any one like my input :fingers-crossed: lol

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
sir, how about some apps have the same feature? do you think it's necessary to do addon?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
More changes

-extra apps made user apps

-mms theme updated

-normal smilies in mms( alt smilies version will be a add-on)

-some hardware drivers updated (faster)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
You are correct, there were so many changes, its time consuming figuring out what it's conflicting with. Have you noticed any difference in battery life with seeder? In my testing it drained the battery faster however it didn't do that for others testing 8.0. It seems results are mixed on the main thread as well.
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
thanks for all you have done :)
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Yes, its draining battery 4 sure as its a constant process which runs in the background - the ratio of the battery life is 1.25 day per charge while normally it gives 1.5 or 1.65 day

Well i don't know about the other members, but i can wait for next issue... as i know it consumes so much time to development and figuring out problems/trouble shooting... i know its pretty hard to modify the already (almost) perfect thing... so please take your time with it and do care for your self as well :)

p.s. your rom is far better then stock roms... i said this because i have tested this rom and compared it with samsung ace duos GT-S7562's stock rom (even it has more of ram) captivating pawned it with noticeable scores :D

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Some more changes

- ram optimized for gaming(8.1 was optimized for muti-tasking)

-multi-tasking is still better than stock

-faster transitions(not kidding, noticeable speed increase)

-dalvik vm retuned(faster with over 50 tweaks)

-file system tweaks

-kernel on boot tweaking(faster)

-launcher app icon re-positioned

-minor theme adjustments

-latest cm fixes

The next version will be 9.0 and will be the fastest version yet. I feel safe saying that it's the fastest that 4.2.1 has run on my device so far.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
On a side note, can you guys post some benchmarks and the version you're on. I'd really appreciate it.

[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Please advice which software benchmarks you prefer...

p.s. the things that every body wants are... battery timing, free ram, fast scrolling/smoothness :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Antutu is fine. And I agree. I've tweaked battery usage as much as I can so now I try to perfect the other things.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
here you go bro.... :)

i m on 7.5 right now and didn't overclock any thing...!

If you need any additional assistance, i will be pleased to assist. ;)

p.s. the twist in lower left of the screen shot is because of twisted rubik animations lolz :D

Official change log for 9.0 added to the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
9.0 is now available for download! (OP updated)

Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
does 9 need a full wipe (as there are lots and lots of changes) or it can be flashed after wiping the cache+delvik over 7.5 and/or 8.1??? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
A full wipe is recommended for 9.0 Strange things will happen if you do a dirty flash.
[Captivate Android Development] shariqm:
yeesh, please don't hate me.

I'm on Lanight v2 nodatadata running devil kernel. Can I flash this rom by just full wiping and 'install from sdcard" through recovery? I wonder if the nodatadata partition layout would screw up something?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
Got about 20 min with 9.0, Seems solid. will report back... I love these roms....:highfive:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
wipe data/factory reset

format /system

flash (will probably bootloop)

reboot into recovery

flash again

reboot

wait on extra long first boot

profit!:good:
