Great work sephi bhai... keep up the good work! i love the fonts you used in this rom twisted animation effects are also great... i don't link the boot animation though... but hey who cares for that lolz

can you please tell me how can i backup my sms in this rom also help me out how i can send a contact via sms to someone else.... sorry i can not find that options in this rom... :(

Also do something about the battery timing too... i guess my battery is being draining a bit faster after installing the twisted animations, any one else observed that?

A pretty nice concept to port xperian softies to Samsung Hardies... :laugh:

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!

Little help with this ROM

Hi, a few minutes ago I've download the ROM, install normaly as usual no problem.

When the phone reboot and appear the X animated logo, I guess is stucked! Its like 2 hours appear the glowing X and nothing, somebody know something can help me?
[Captivate Android Development] dehzincwb:
RESOLVED - Frozen Boot animation

Hi folks! So after many time, rebooting, installing again and again... finally I could install normaly.

So if somebody came have the same problem, try install the CyanogemMOD (I used the last one of nightly version) after install reboot in recovery mode and DON'T FORMAT NOTHING, JUST GO TO INSTAL FROM ZIP CARD AND DO IT.

for me this way works, finally I now gonna appreciate the new ROM v7.2

I hope my question save somebody :D

Thx:good:
[Captivate Android Development] dehzincwb:

[Captivate Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
I had tried that too. It was long press only. I will gladly try the new release :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Got the Xperia keyboard working. I'll post a zip soon.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Just getting a chance to install the 7.x version. Had a really busy weekend. Rom flashed after full wipe and waiting for it to restore my apps. It did take a longer time that i have experienced for it to move from the startup animation. I was wondering if it had boot looped.

I really love the feature of having the ROM restore my apps for me right after startup. Great work i must say. If it has improved in this version to restored app data as well then i'd be in heaven :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
You will love the new multi-tasking:good:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Sony's servers are down at the moment. Xperia users are saying some sony services are down(timescape and weather). I'll keep you guys posted :/
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
7.2 is very smooth, I am getting some errors installing from Play though, I have cleared the cache and wiped the app data and it still is hit or miss on installing. I like the experia live wallpaper but its a tad sluggish on this old phone. Good job Sephhi! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Man this ROM is smooth as hell. Haven't done any detailed testing. Just going through and enabling settings.

I did notice one minor glitch. The mobile data toggle works but the icon constantly shows that its on. It doesn't change to dim when its off
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Is this in the notification drawer?
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Yes that's correct
[Captivate Android Development] HoangTuBot:
Hey sepphi. I think you can free up some space in system/vendor/pittpatt
[Captivate Android Development] nheem:
i don't know why my Captivate is bad battery when i updrage v7. The process "Phone" have more percent in running service until i don't use it. i come back version 5.0.2 and fell so happy. think version 5.02 is the best battery used ....
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
I'd second him...

i would like to raise a question, i have Rom v7.1 installed on my captivate and now v7.2 available... do i have to install the v7.2 as it is and it will update my current version or i have to do a full wipe before installing it!? :eek: :confused:

also tell me... there is a link of MD5 (326 bytes) is it the update... do i have to flash that and i m done?

sorry for being a super noob but i really like this rom and want to keep my self updated with it! :victory:

Request: Sephi, bro kindly add/subtract some features to improve battery life please, please, please and keep up the good work we really appreciate it! :)

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
The MD5 is a file for for checking the rom to make sure it downloaded ok. You can flash 7.2 over 7.1 without doing a full wipe. As for battery life, I'm getting the best battery life on 7.2 but I know a lot of people say 5.0.2 has the best battery life. I think it would have to relate to the version of cm nightly that was used as the base as I haven't added anything that would increase the battery drain. If you've upgraded and see worse battery life, do this. Drain your battery by playing a video on loop or something and charge fully again. Use normally and see if it makes a difference. The stats are usually inaccurate after flashing a new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
I really appreciate your detailed answer, thanking you... :)

p.s. i m upgrading... :victory:

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
sepphi, did you change iphone animation back to stock animation in v7.2? I love iphone animation so much, please post a flashable zip, thank you !
[Captivate Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
So far same issues. Also forgot to mention since last time the extra little settings button in the notifications does not work either.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Added to first post.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I hate to ask but did you format /system? also can you post the contents or a screenshot of your cypress-touchkey file? It's in /system/usr/keylayout. Open as text in the file explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Am assuming your talking the view with your profile pic, settings, brightness, battery buttons? If so the settings button does work.

One issue i found with that view though is that when i try to take a screenshot of it by long pressing the power button, that view goes away bringing me back to the home screen
[Captivate Android Development] NoDze:
Just take it by holding power + volume down. It's a neat little Android feature :)

Also, about the name. I love the name, but when I first saw the thread I thought it will be some sort of a TouchWiz 5 kind of rom. Captivating implies some "stock" values to the rom name, that's why :D I'm saying this because I've seen a few users talking about a name change. xPeriancing, maybe? haha
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Thanks never new that. Everyday you learn something new :)
[Captivate Android Development] dehzincwb:
Issue found?

Hi guys!

I guess just I maybe have found one issue! :D hahaha

Im using the V7.2 of captivating, and the Weather Widget don't find anymore my location and nether I writing on search bar.

Just popup me a note: "can't find your location" or "Can't find location"

My GPS its working cause in Maps and Navigation of Google works fine, the Raindar works wonderfull, but the weather don't work? Its a bug only for me? or for everyone?

Thx borthers!
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
I'm testing this now and will send feedback later. I added 2 weather widgets, one which uses my gps location and another with a static location. Will see if i get that same error. I have changed my update interval to 30mins.

How often or random did you experience the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] HoangTuBot:
Your answer
[Captivate Android Development] dehzincwb:
I just notice this issue like two days ago... and after you question me I guess this is a connection with some server I don't know cause, a two days ago I wore the captivating v3 :D

Maybe what the friend above said gonna be true I don't know.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
I just had a random restart after i attempted to wake the device up
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I think the latest nightlies are not as stable as earlier releases. I'm contemplating going back to the 5.0.2 base for 7.3.
[Captivate Android Development] anwarkhan25:
Hey Guys! Just wanted to drop by to say this ROM is amaazing! My uncle has been running it since it came out, and he's loving it. :D

Quick Question:

@Sepphi , can you make a JB Touchwiz like ROM? Just a thought. :)
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I've had no trouble at all on 7.2. In fact I've enjoyed about the best battery life I ever have. My only issue stems from 4.2 and not the ROM its self. I have a broken power button so occasionally it'll pull up the power menu by its self. Apparently there's a bug in 4.2 that if you open the power menu twice then try to back out it causes a soft reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Everything running great here, after bad download. Flashed second time, and everything from GPS to launcher working great.

Thanks for great work.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Sony servers are back online. Weather widget is working agin :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Here is what the chronos widget looks like on the lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
Updated v 7.2 for 2 days, yesterday and this morning i got COD with DIDLE disable, i think its relate to the new kernel, back to 2.8.3 and testing
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
OK I'm feeling stupid. How do I set that up?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Settings> system> clock widget

Then you add it to the lockscreen by swiping from the left edge of the lockscreen and adding the widget. You can then remove the original lockscreen by long pressing on it(the one with the off center clock)
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Very good I was stupid. New problem though. Every time I try to get into the weather panel chronus force closes.

Edit: looks like I screwed something up when I dirty flashed 7.2. Any who chronus is working after a clean install.

As far as the weather though. Is there any way to make it visible without swiping down?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Nuh-uh.
[Captivate Android Development] HoangTuBot:
This ROM does not have bold font.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It does, it's just not very noticeable. I'll make it bolder in the next release.
[Captivate Android Development] alexsupreme:
I have a slight problem with 7.2

I'm using hebrew and english as my input languages but after I flashed 7.2 every time I switch from english to hebrew the keyboard crashes and repeatedly displays "aosp keyboard is not responding" until I open the settings and switch back to english.

It worked well v3.

I have browsed through the topic and found nothing about it.

Thank you very much, the rom is magnificent :)
[Captivate Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
I do the usual wipe data, cache, and dalvik. I can copy that when I try the rom again. I Also have to ask What makes the larger over clocks so less stable as we get ics and jb.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Hebrew and other dictionaries were removed from the keyboard to save space on the system partition.

The next release will include the xperia keyboard which has Hebrew.
[Captivate Android Development] Fidelator:
Could you create some mirrors? Google docs is extremely slow and the download is often unsuccessful (3 times in the past hour)
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
loving this rom but getting this error again and again "Unfortunately, the process andrid.process.media has sopped"...everything else is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Did you upgrade over another rom? Try clearing data for media storage in settings>all apps
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Mirrors
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
V7.3

-new bolder fonts(old fonts will be available as an addon)

-based on latest nightly

-inverted google music is included

-xperia keyboard included(has swipe functionality/multi-language support)

-many framework changes

Full wipe is a must due to framework changes so backup your apps

uploading...
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
hope i can download it on today
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Less than an hour...
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Kernel changes that came with the new version of the OS.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
7.3 released.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Do hope everybody likes where files are now. I much rather have Google download, than having to go through all this mess. And the files download slow too.
[Captivate Android Development] noone.dk01:
i dont know how to download :(
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
Same here , Google doc was pretty easy to use and fast download . not sure it's good idea to change download method just because couple of people was not able to download it fast with gdocs

can we have both methods please , add gdoc link too . thnx in advance !
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
It's a mess I know, pick one of the Hosting Sites, Click Here, then you will redirected to another page and it has a download link there. You will get pop ups, close it and hit link again and it will start.

And it's pretty damn slow too.

Don't use Bay Files, it timeout at the end twice now.

Rapid Gator throws up several sexual pops up.

Crocko taking it slow time.

So far I wasted 500m and still don't have file yet. So please Sephhi put it back on gdoc and ignore the whiners.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Sockshare is the best
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I'll add google docs as well.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Sockshare says it only 243.0k file, and getting all kinds of warnings of bad file
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Browser? The gdocs link will be ready in a few minutes and I'll be hosting future versions on goo.im. I plan to integrate it with their app so you guys can just auto-update from your phones.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Google docs links added to the first post. Alternative links are posted under mirrors.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
7.4(minor update)

-integrated with goo.im

-goomanager added

-hd games should have lag removed
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
This maybe what happened to me
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
That bug has been fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
7.4 is available through Goo Manager. In the app, browse compatible roms and you should see it. Just flash over 7.3.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Whats the process from 7.2?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Full wipe from any version older than 7.3.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Lots of downloads, no comments. I take it 7.4 is working well for everyone then?
[Captivate Android Development] TheSoaresan:
Its working excellent :) good job man
[Captivate Android Development] DanJackson:
flashed 7.4 over 7.3, I see no difference. 7.3 was solid for me. Good work.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
How can i get the gtalk with the white background?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I could be wrong on this but if you have a standard gapps zip for 4.2 you could go in and extract the gtalk apk from it and then replace the one currently on your phone with the one you extracted. Then fix permissions and you should be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
7.4 is working great for me....I've been looking but found no issues so far. I like how smooth and responsive the phone feels so far. I just started using this Rom a week ago and am glad I did. I was on an old gb Rom before I switched, and even though the gb Rom was good (lots of status bar and other customization options), the performance of my phone with this Rom is Way better. :) Great work! Thank you!!
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
my sd card doesn't mount on start

did a full wipe and installed 7.4

external card mounted

any solution plz ?
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
well they did say not to load gapps.... so i figured not loading anything from it would be safest be, so i left it alone lol

also i'm realizing my phone getting hot and battery draining quite quickly....anybody else experience this?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
That's a strange one. Backup the contents of your internal sd card and remove the external from the phone. Reboot and let me know what happens. If it still doesn't mount you'll need to do some additional steps.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I haven't had any reports of this so far are you overclocked? It sounds as if some app is stressing your cpu. You can narrow it down with a monitoring app. Also, the battery stats are inaccurate at first following a new flash.

I'll post the regular Talk as a flashable zip under add-ons.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Added to the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
thanks man, going to flash 7.4 and report back after running it for a while.....
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
This rom has been working well for me for a while now. Battery life was lower than with older android versions, but not too far off.
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
BTW way what would you recommend as a good monitoring app?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Better Battery Stats
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
did like you said - now i have my internal sd mounted and my external not mounted:crying:

both works fine in aroma file manager in recovery
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Now boot with only the internal. Once everything is loaded, insert your external sd. and report what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
Awesome ! Cant believe this is my 2 years old battery guys :victory: Thanks to all the devs who make our device shine again
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Yep. I get similar results:good:
[Captivate Android Development] nheem:
amazing ... vesion 7.4 is the best battery i haved ... during 20 hour just have 25% ... this is still smooth and stable ...^__^

PS: i hope clear audio + , sound mod of sony will come back in next vesion ... :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It's included. I just removed the control panel for it as adjusting the effects does not work.
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
Great! Bold font is back but it seems too bold compare to normal style, not a big deal, thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
can't make it both works together , can you please list some additional steps - love your work :good:please help me fix this issue :angel:
[Captivate Android Development] NoDze:
Well, after seeing so many thank yous in this thread and how it made their old phone snappy again I decided to give it a try. I was on Helly Bean 4.2.1 which already seemed pretty darn fast to me, but this ROM... All I can say is WOW. I'm not a large xPeria fan, to be honest, though I always wanted to have a full xperia rom. A port to be precise. I thought this was just a regular and lame Softmod of the CM10.1 and yet again I stand in awe. It's beautiful. Facebook inside xperia is a great feature and all the widgets from xperia roms are there. I could go on and on about the stability here and it's almost bugless and perfect(found a few bugs, but none of them really matter). First boot took ages, though. As usual how I do, I did a full wipe to prepare my phone for a new flavour. I'm currently restoring my old apps through titanium and I hope I'll find no bugs and incompatibility. You, my sir have all my thanks for the day and a new fan. Thank you. Phew, long text here.
[Captivate Android Development] carlosgardel:
Hello, Installed 7.4 coming from cm10.1 full wipe and report that this rom is really great, not tested everything but great so far. Because I didnt see the Google Play store and search installed last gapps and all is working very good. I have the problem the Google Now forecloses when click in a suggestion card and tries to open the browser but the same happened in CM10.1 for me. Tried clearing data for search but nothing. Anyway I dont care too much about that.

Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] iosmonster:
Fantastic ROM ive been waiting for a perfect xperia ROM and its seems I have found it, great job keep it up
[Captivate Android Development] treau:
I never had any battery stats like that on my cappy, nor on the wifeys (stock batteries). Did you even use your phone? Lol... And what settings are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I'm with you. I have an extended life battery and I'm lucky if I'm still at 35% after 10 hours on any ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Wow that impressive. I do make one observation. Your not using wifi or mobile data so am sure that's why you getting that long times

i'm trying to install a keyboard (emoji) keyboard and what i did was to extract the files from the zip and place them in the respective folders in "system" i dont see the option to "fix permission" tho...can some one assist me?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Are you doing it with explorer or aroma? If explorer, tap and hold on the file and you should see a menu with permissions pop up.
[Captivate Android Development] slytidar:
when is the light rom coming .. i really need a less ram eating rom .
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Got a chance to install 7.4 today. The rom is smooth like heaven so far. Good work bro. I wanna be like you when I grow up:)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
V7.5

-smoother scrolling in the app drawer

-tweaked minfree vallues(memory management)

-latest nightly (includes a lot of bug fixes)

-upgrade if on 7.4. full wipe if on an earlier version.

coming in 1-2 days in regular & lite versions
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Patiently waiting for it to go live :D
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
I got Charge of Death every night after update to v 7.x. I removed the supercharger script, will post the result tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
awesome battery lifetime

Wow , 34h and still almost 30% battery left

120% cpu , interactive mode , wifi on

3 reboots

58 m talk time , 2h screen time

p.s. just wasted money for powerbank heh don't need it now
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
Keep them (the updates) coming... seems like we are on live support from your end lol... this is getting better and better.... and better :)

Thanks mate :)

I want to report that in 7.4 it takes a long time after installation of rom, nothing appears except notification bar while it download somthing (don't know what) but when i tern the wifi down it says "installation wizard not responding" force close or wait...

its not a biggy but gives goose bumps, thinking if installation has not went right and if i pull out the battery my cell might be bricked etc...

Hope it will not be there in 7.5... :)

p.s. i m a pure noob! :D

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] nheem:
i have a question ... can i change DPI in this rom ???
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Yes you can. I am running it at 200dpi. I just go in and manually change it in build.prop. Doing so can possibly mess with your play store though.
