Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

After the first flash providing it doesn't reboot its self go into the advanced tap in recovery and reboot recovery from there. Doing that might prevent any boot loop and battery pulling.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

Tried to replicate your settings and do a benchmark of 9.0 Noticeable boost in 3D graphics as I expected :)
[Captivate Android Development] nsyik:
Hi sepphi, v9 is solid and smooth. No bug found so far. But can you provide us with a flashable stock keyboard? To me stock keyboard is easier and nicer :)
[Captivate Android Development] shariqm:
actually along those lines. I installed swype but the option to select swype while typing never comes up even though I enabled it under "lnaguage and input". Can we not switch keyboards on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Look here

It's on the play store for free :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Of course you can :)

make sure your keyboard is selected in language&input

make sure selector notification is on in language and input

open notes or any app to bring up the keyboard

pull down the notification

tap choose input method

select your keyboard

profit!

you can disable selector notification after this;)
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
oh okay...! strange things ahan... no i wont do it again... no dirty flashing this time...

about the scores... r you overclocked or stocks are giving out scores this great because of the Captivating 9.0

if its rom then you my friend, again did a tremendous job! :)

wiping and testing... will let you know if any thing comes up!

thanks again sepphie for all the efforts and hard work you done to stable and cherish captivating!

Update: Stun! by the boot animation! hey where do you find this sick stuff?! (fireworks making X) you rock dude... do you know it already? lol

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

@mortaleternity thanks. SonnySekhon made the boot animation, he did an awesome job.

I'm running with a small overclock @ 1.120ghz. I saw a performance improvement from 8.1 to 9 and wanted to see if it would show in benchmarks. That's why I wanted benchmarks from someone still on 8.1 or earlier to compare scores to.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Now look at this! :D

Its after a minor overclocking via semaphore utility...

But my captivate got hanged after a while... i believe it was because of overclocking...

Well now i down clocked my phone to stock clock and its stable as yet.

Over all looks and all are great... i like what you have done with the cursor (now its metal cursor lol)
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
in the next build can we get Emoji Keyboard please? lol ......

[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

Make sure to adjust your voltages. I use nstools because it can adjust the int voltage and the semaphore app can't.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

O_O wth when did you reach v9? Werent you about to release v8.2?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

If you are over clocking it could be that the stress of the benchmark combined with your OC could be causing that.

Yep that was the problem. Thanx again :good:.

Anyone remember Lanight by AceofSpades? In my opinion it was the fastest jb rom for the cappy. V9 gives me the same feeling. Any other former lanight users here?
[Captivate Android Development] treau:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

We (wife and I) both ran LA night. It was fast, but only lasted a week or two and it would start to lag (her phone). I liked it, but it was very stripped down. I have an s3 now but she uses the cappy still with your ROM and she loves it. My old cappy turned into a WiFi phone so we can make calls for FREE.
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[V9](Lightning!!)

Lanight was smooth... Battery life was kinda weak...
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
the latest build is fast, however, I experience some lag in scrolling here and there, not too much, moreover, after using apps, my launcher needs to redraw so many times, because tweaks of hard gaming make too much free ram, I believe. Could you provide a version with less free ram for multitasking?

You are a great developer, sepphi, and I will really really miss this rom if one day I change my device :)
[Captivate Android Development] nheem:
i think v9 still good but i have a question : my app running in setting appear many app restarting. is it nomally ???
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
Do you plan on developing for any other devices? Hopefully the Galaxy S4 when it comes out
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
That's a good idea. I'll release a version with the old memory values. 9.0m, m for multitasking.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I would but I'd need the hardware to test on.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
I'm starting to lag behind....

I moved from LaNight to this rom
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
9.1

-memory values adjusted for more multi-tasking

-dalvik values reduced but still higher than normal to allow more virtual memory for large games/apps

-home is unkillable!

-fully compatible with 9.0. Flash over 9.0 to test out the new settings, if you prefer the old ones just flash 9.0 again

-I repeat, full wipe is not necessary

[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Where do we stand on Custom DPI compatibility?
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
I'd second you... well i had to change my phone from a long time and now that i got some money but not changing it now because of this rom only... was going for xperia lol

@sepphie: bro i observed kinda low battery life comparing it with v7.5 (1.5 day per charge) now i m getting 0.8/1 day per charge... is it normal, is it only me or some one else did observed this as well, what i only did new is, i have contacts+ installed now...!

any suggestions??? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It's the aggressive memory management. Background apps are being killed more often but they are restarting themselves so there is more drain from the apps constantly restarting. The multi-tasking version takes care of this.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
The launcher does not support custom dpi yet (it will come). Widgets are compatible with the launcher from 7.4 which has custom dpi support.

Good news, dalvik tweaks work as expected so enjoy multi-tasking+unkillable launcher without any impact on gaming.

Games tested:

NFS most wanted

Modern Combat 4

Mass Effect Infiltrator

Deadspace

Virtua Tennis

Gangstar Rio

With the unkillable launcher, long press back to kill will not work
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Released on goo.im as version 9.1. Enjoy!

First post also updated.
[Captivate Android Development] muhammadmuneeb:
I've just update to 9.1 from 9.0 i m having two issues loudspeaker sound suddenly disappear and the only way to heat the sound is either put phone's speaker too close to your ear or plug in hands free and second is some lagging while playing games. Except those issues ROM is awesome. Thanks in advance......
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Battery percentage is red 0 after i updated 9.1... any solutions? i updated 9.1 over 9.0 as you mentioned in the op post...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Nothing related to sound was changed. Make sure tune speaker for music is disabled in dsp manager.

Also, reboot and wipe cache/dalvik if you didn't before the upgrade.

Let me know if that sorted your issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
m i gonna loose my desktop settings after removing delvik and cache? :-/ i m doing that...

i though my battery got miss-calibrated after the update... trying battery calibration 1st... will wipe afterwards and let you know! :)

p.s. ooh i love gaming will try the list you've mentioned above :D
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
You won't lose your settings.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Uhm it might be a stupid question but...how exactly do you flash this ROM, and what am I supposed to do with md5 file??
[Captivate Android Development] ChuckDaEngineer:
The MD5 file is a reference file you can use to verify the integrity of your download if there are any connection issues.

To install, it depends on which ROM you are coming from, but it is always a good idea to:

1) Download desired ROM version

2) Backup apps with Titanium Backup

3) Reboot into CWM recovery

4) Do a nandroid backup

5) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (this also wipes your cache partition)

6) Go into advanced and wipe Dalvick Cache

7) Go into mounts and storage and format system only

8) Go back to main screen and install zip from sdcard

9) Reboot and profit

10) Or you could read the OP of almost any ROM

Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
oh thanks, actually i know how to flash ROMs but this md5 file confused i thought i had to do something with it, but thanks anyways :D

Captivating 9.1

Wow sephhi, I can barely finish a download before you've already tweaked/fixed/updated/uploaded a new version! :eek: My Nandroid is sure getting a workout. I still haven't decided on which JB rom to keep as my daily, but Captivating is in the mix for sure. I've said it before, but... the theme is very well done, and thanks again for all your time and effort. I'll report issues (if any)- I am having a video issue with psx4droid on another JB, which I'm reasonably sure worked with your 7.4/7.5, so I'm back to try out your latest.

[Captivate Android Development] BxingFetus:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.1](Optimized Memory Management)

The md5 is a file signature. Let's you know if it downloaded properly (everything is there) you don't need to do anything with it. There's an app on the market called md5 checker. Very helpful.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.1](Optimized Memory Management)

I've been flashing for two years now and never knew that wiping data/factory reset ALSO wipes cache at the same time. Learn something new everyday! Also, if the dev doesn't specify, how do you know when you should format /system? Is there a guide or rule of thumb in general?
[Captivate Android Development] sinizter:
I generally format system when switching from ROMs with a different partition layout or Android version.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
Format /system

Yep, /data, /cache, /datadata, /sd-ext, and /sdcard/.android_secure. Although I don't think I've ever had a /sd-ext folder with anything in it. It scared me to see /sd-ext listed at first, thinking my external SD card was going to be wiped, but the external SD has never been touched. When I wipe Dalvik I usually see a message "unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" too... :shrug:

+1

I think a lot of ROMs format /system during install anyway, but I always do it myself first too. Takes so little time and it is only the matter of a few more button presses.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

I like the boot animation in 9.1- I had found a color version of that somewhere and I did not know it was by sonnysekhon, very nice. And the "Android is upgrading..." window is themed as well... I didn't think that was possible! No one other than me will probably ever see it on my phone, but that is a nice touch as far as I am concerned. Well done. :highfive:
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
no sir, calibrating battery and wiping cache/delvik didn't help at all... so should i do a full wipe then install 9.1? :-/

Things are about to get nerdy up in this beotch..

+1 I just flashed 8.1 Was about to flash 9.0 then someone suggests what I was thinking and 9.1 gets released haha.

Since I'm gonna be going flash happy tonight I may as well do the benchmarking thing for each version that I have downloaded already.

Should I wipe/factory reset and format /system for each flash or do I need to bother with the format /system since they're all 4.2?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I need to know:

-version you were on previously

-flashing steps

-if the error happens on boot or when you try to install an app
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
wipe data before flashing 9.0, just wipe caches when going to 9.1
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Do a full wipe. Something went wrong with your flash.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
If I wipe more than is necessary, like wiping data or formatting /system when going from 9.0 to 9.1, will it screw anything up or is it just to avoid having to reinstall all my apps?
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
fixed after a full wipe and flashed 9.1...

gaming and scrolling is great...

battery life is still not good though... for that i guess 7.5 was the best... :)

I hope 9.2/9.5 will be an all in one solution for all 'crazy flashoholics' (like me) out there lol :D

Keep up the good work bro! :cool:

Best regards,

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.1](Optimized Memory Management)

Great job on Captivating. Currently running 9.0. Very solid and smooth towards my personal phone use.

Request - Version 7.4.1 has a wallpaper pack that had a Ferrari 458 Black and White shot. Could someone provide the picture itself or a cwm pack? I personally loved that entire wallpaper pack, so the entire pack would be GREAT.

Also, is there a quick easy fox to disable bold font style in Play and the default browser with 9.0?

One question, how do we enable and disable USB debugging with 9.0 or can we not toggle this? (Titanium B-Up keeps hounding me about it)

Thank you for any insight.

Keep up the great work on Captivating-XPeria theme. This is how the sgs was meant to run like.

hi Sepphie,

Kindly develop a version which will be optimized for battery life??? battery life of 9.0/9.1 is not so good :( cant even lasts a day on normal use... (i know you mentioned earlier that tasks are being killed frequently in background)

Please do consider my request, will appreciate your kind consideration :)

Keep up the good work.

p.s. i m having a weird issue while installing some apps via super backup and restore (didn't had this in previous releases) it says "wifi file transfer couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again" tabs appearing "close" & "manage apps" even i have lot of space in all of my drives!!!

So then i thought I should monitor problem on stock Rom for day to two if its working fine.

Ringtones was set properly

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.1](Optimized Memory Management)

I also posted on your thread in the q&a section but so sephhi knows too, this probably has nothing to do with your ROM. In fact my wife's cappy occasionally has the same issue where you can only hear the speaker if you hold it up next to your ear. When this happens she "taps"(actually sometimes she beats the poor phone) on the back housing near the speaker. That always makes it work again. I also posted a link in the thread you made for possible solutions.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.1](Optimized Memory Management)

It's not a rom issue at all. Captivates have that issue. You u check YouTube you can get explanation as to why it happens and how to fix it. I experienced to with my phone and had to apply the same fix which worked for a few months and it's starting to act up again. Maybe because my cappy falls little too much.

It requires you to pull down the phone and loose the screw that secures the speak to the motherboard.

Tell your wife not to beat the phone :) . She should just twist the upper portion of the phone.

9.1 /112%oc /big mem on....9.1 working good. Great battery life here, just had to go through a full battery cycle to see it......on another note, seems touchy when flashing....flashed 3times and had 3different issues....on 4th flash I said screw it and 1clicked back to stock and started from scratch formatting my drive partitions. Then I got a good flash. Sometimes it seems best to just start over after so many flashes/updates.

Also, I think the screen from the white mms background probably is a little tough on the battery....can anyone point me to any inverted "mms" and "people" apps that would be compatible for this rom? I have seen a few threads but not sure as they seem outdated.
