How is the phone when changing the voltage only? Do you change the Nstools voltage as well or just the semaphore. How do you access the Nstools voltage setting anyway? So far the phone is working slightly better for me than the M3 even without touching OC and voltage. It would be better however if I can squeeze out more battery life if possible since I use it only to record lectures, listen to music and some social network. But I did notice Walkman takes up battery tho. Is it safe to freeze it and just use a generic music player, or play with the voltage settings. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Try oc 105 with recommended voltages. Change the voltage using ns tools only. Uncheck the default and you can access it, see attached thumbnails for reference. Change the int voltage only. You can freeze/ uninstall Walkman but I recommend use Walkman it is better than others.

Captivating my captivate, Thanks to Sephhi :)
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Guys, try to disable zRam and check again your OC stability. Since I've disabled zRam my phone runs much faster and smoother and I can step OC up to 1400 or live OC up to 120% (both on 1350mV) with no issues. Currently I'm running Slim with Nick0703's unofficial kernel. Yes, I know the setup is different, but this info may help someone to figure out stability issues. Both ROM's are CM based and both kernels are Semaphore based.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Yep, zram slows down the cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
102% oc

In my case 102% oc and Big mem enabled and your recommended voltage settings gives the best templerun 2 experience. experimenting daily with different combinations but i dont know why, not more than 102 oc is supported by my cappy :crying:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
On cyancore 2.3. Remember to stop by the cyancore thread and give the dev some thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Yes, but no SIM card and no 3G. Phone calls and data eat up battery quickly. I can make a screenshot of >48h on idle with 30% battery left but it means nothing. In real life I don't see any noticeable differences in battery life between original Semaphore, Unofficial Semaphore and CyanCore.
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
I thanked him before and i believe you have by chance changed your battery with chuck Norris. :p

Sephhi when ever you get some time please upload center clock the last center clock zip isn't flashing.

One more thing if you can then modify the touch wiz(gesture control) as you have modified the xperia launcher, some people like tw more than any other launcher, although the rom is xperia themed but every body love changes.

Captivating my captivate, Thanks to Sephhi :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I've been using my test phone since the start of this thread with the same apps and settings that I always restore from tibu. Same refresh intervals etc with wifi always on. I use the same setup so it's easier to tell if a change I make impacts my battery life or not. On the last 2 releases the battery life is noticeably improved. The screenshots aren't posted for the sake of posting. They're comparisons to earlier screenshots/posts in the thread.

Sephhi, i had to install devilkernel for x6 again at the beginning but after many Performance issues i decided to try installing semaphore again, but i had no luck with the newest versions of semaphore or cyancore (everythings lags very much). Then I found an old version (2.9.8sc unofficial) and I gave it a try. At this kernel everytging works fine and games run very well, but isn't there a way to make it workibg with an newer version of semaphore. Am I the only one with that problem? :(
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
I'd have to disagree with saying Walkman is the best app for music. It doesn't even let you select which folders you want to be included in your library.

PowerAMP has way more useful features than anything else I've used.

I usually just uninstall Walkman
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
The zram isn't enabled by default on any version of captivating that I can remember...... I'm not sure you meant this to come across the way it did...It was a benchmark of sorts as sephhi politely pointed out .......Anyway, in real life I ran X6 for a few days and I can say for me, the battery was better than on previous versions...Ultimately, I went back to X5 for my own reasons, one of which being I have enough batteries and a few docks kicking around so battery life isn't really an issue for me.

I think really, the battery life in captivating has always been acceptable for this phone. The cappy is a battery hog if you use it, plain and simple.

Things that could improve my battery more (than you already have) would be on my end mostly like taming google maps and the media server....Greenify has been working pretty good for maps imo....I have always had issues with media server (on any rom) draining the battery occasionally if I don't notice it.Stays running after viewing or listening to media I think...:confused:

I really like the look of X6. It ran smooth for me and the battery was better for me than X5, but to be honest I still use the old but good Zeam launcher, so the xperia launcher is untested here. For me so far, X5 has been the most stable, most overclockable, and everything I use just works good on the phone. Both on my daily and my other media device setup. Almost every issue I have had in the past with this rom whether I posted about it or not, I have been able to fix, get fixed or worked around to my satisfaction. Thanks again to you and anyone else that takes the time to contribute!!:good:

I flashed the centerclock zip from goo and it worked for me on X6
[Captivate Android Development] merikgvr4:
I tried that texdroider. pretty cool. thanks for the suggestion.
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Battery backup is superb without even leaving the phone idle.

Live oc 102% voltage as recommended in the op and touch wiz launcher.

I have flashed all the available roms for our cappy but after a day or two i come back to captivating.

Captivating my captivate, Thanks to Sephhi :)
[Captivate Android Development] kinggame992000:
How is that touch wiz launcher work? Does it gave multi app like on galaxy s3
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Flashed it via cwm and

No it does not support multi windows.

Captivating my captivate, Thanks to Sephhi :)
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
wifi issues....

Nice,but I am gonna try out the cyancappy 2.4 kernel. I have had amazing results with linaro builds.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
I'd say this is a nice surprise ;)

Before and After
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:
verything great except keyboard for me

now it's stucked to just english and i can't switch it on russian ( my other language ) , also can't make system use any other keyboard - it's just wont allow to turn any other keyboard on , xperia is on always and just one language

any solution please ?
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Funny I just noticed that too.

I've also noticed that any app restored from Titanium backup doesn't have available widget options. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app from the playstore to get the widgets available. I did restore swiftkey too... could it be that the keyboard has to be installed after the fact as well?
[Captivate Android Development] era246:
Sry but I didnt noticed that, I can use my both languages German and English without any problems :)
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: X6 voltages and OC

I have dropped the OC entirely and am just running at 1000MHz with the recommended voltages and the game is still smooth. This is great! Battery life is noticeably better than previous. SmartassV2 and No-op.
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Try 102 OC and You will not regret, I bet. :)
[Captivate Android Development] xisque:
Really fast and responsive!

Too bad I cant change any settings, seens missing some sort of commit after you change the settings (keyboard, 3g, battery...), but it changes after a reboot. Still I cant use swiftkey.

BTW, I flashed stock KK4 then CornKernel 704A (to get root and CWM recovery) then AOCP The Collective (CWM 6) then Captivating. For some reason I couldnt flash using CornKernel (maybe old CWM). Should I try using CM10 ?
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
Re:X6 settings

Yes sounds to me like issues stemming from a bad flash or remnants of old settings. Try CM 10.1, then clear cache and Dalvik cache, then flash Captivating again. :fingers-crossed:
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
cyancore 2.4

well for me the cyancore 2.4/capx6, the recommended settings of 116%liveOC plus recommended voltages are not good....reboots/crash
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Try 110% or 108%
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
The rom didn't flash properly. Corn kernel is not compatible with anything newer than gingerbread. You should do a full wipe/factory restore

format system

install cm 10.1

boot

change some settings to make sure they stick

reboot to recovery and flash captivating

reboot or flash updated cyancore kernel
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
108 working ok. Was nstools included in the Rom? That and the settings for status bar transparency are missing..... Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: OC, NStools X6

I was trying to say that I don't even need to overclock to have great results with X6. I had been running it at 122% earlier. :)

NStools was not included in X6. I think status bar transparency is a Hellybean option, but X6 currently uses CM as the base ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
What he said.:good:
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
I see. I think that the themes, tweaks, launcher, and integrated extras Make this Rom exceptional. I have tried my best to get the fluidity and speed that I hear about all the time. I hate to say it but for my phone. The xylon rom built with linaro toolchain, and with no OC. Still wins the speed test for me. Anyone have any ideas what I could be missing ? I'm using the voltage settings recommended and liveOC at 108, noop, wheatly. All that and I still have lag issues.

Sent from my brain using a biomagneticelectrocardiogram.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: lag

I don't know anything about Wheatley, personally I use SmartassV2 (and right now no-op too) with these settings, accessible through the Semaphore Manager- just click on the governor in the list to access its individual settings:

Awake ideal frequency: 1000000 (I attempt to have 1000MHz the target frequency when CPU/screen is active)

Up rate: 10000

Down rate: 99000

Max CPU load: 85

Min CPU load: 35 (larger difference between Max/Min might reduce lag from the CPU switching states too often)

Ramp up step: 200000

Ramp down step: 200000

Sleep wakeup frequency: 99999999 (this value is supposed to allow the phone to choose its own state when waking up)

Sleep ideal frequency: 100000 (ramps down to 100MHz when phone is asleep)

Sample rate jiffies: 2 (no clue here, I leave it at 2)

SmoothUI: On

I researched these settings for a long time because I had no idea what they all were. I'm still pretty fuzzy on most of it (I hope I am not misrepresenting any information here) but it has worked well for me so far. I also cleared/wiped data, system, caches and flashed CM 10.1 before flashing Captivating X6. I don't have many apps and only use the device for media/games so there is not a whole lot for me to restore. This ROM rocks. :victory: Hope you have better luck with it

No good, app missing. That file was only 4m, where the other 2 were 5.9m. Guess going to look for it on internet.
[Captivate Android Development] Darian71:
That's the download that worked for me. I now have the updated playstore anyway. I did see several links to the 4.025 playstore when i searched the XDA forums for PLAYSTORE though.Good luck.:)
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Well 4 files at 22m later and still don't have play store. It ain't playing to well. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] xisque:
PERFECT! :good:

But I did some extra steps to ensure (and to document)

Flash Stock JF6 (one click) - To clean everything

Formated SD, Master reset *2767*3855# - To ensure (lol ?)

Flashed Stock KK4 (one click) - To get GB

Flashed Semaphore_2.5.0c using Odin - no reboot - according http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_captivatemtd to install CM10

Booted into Recovery - While in download mode press + - power and release after ATT logo

Flashed CM10

Tested settings to make sure they stick as you told me - OK

Reboot into Recovery

Wipe data 3 times

Wipe cache

Format System

Flash ROM

Flash Cyancore

Everything running fine! Smooth, fast, just need to test the battery life.

Thank you very much! Great ROM so far! :good::good:

I tested a bunch of things, keyboards, languages, installed 1304897130948 programs/games/apps every single thing worked like a charm. :angel:

The only bug I found : settings - advanced - press back button - settings background change its color to grey LOL! :laugh:

Thnx alot ! This one only works for me = all other 4.x versions downloaded from xda gave me error

please , any solution for the keyboard ? few of us have same issue - it works at clean install but just a bit later hangup on english no option to change it on second language

only this one issue makes me mad - can't use sms/phone book ((
[Captivate Android Development] xisque:
The latest 2.4 but live oc = 100.
[Captivate Android Development] iosmonster:
I flashed that and my phone would go infinite reboot and no recovery
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
This is the reason I've kept from updating the kernel. Still running 1.8, can anyone else confirm the new kernel as working? I don't have access to odin on my work laptop so if the bootloop happens I can't fix it until I'm home.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: cyancore 2.4

Yes he uploaded a fixed version last night.
[Captivate Android Development] maxunger:

shephi.. is that anime app that came with ur rom is available on play store... if not .. can u give me a link for it please.... I like to try watching it on bigger screen. thank

Thank you, will be flashing shortly then :).
[Captivate Android Development] Telpesoron:
Hi! Thank you for this amazing Rom!

I was wondering if something happened with the synchronization with Picasa and Facebook photos in the Album app. Since I upgraded to X6 I lost them...
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Just to confirm the fixed 2.4 CyanCore Kernel is working on X6 :).
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It's on the play store - animania
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I updated the libs for walkman and they caused a conflict. It'll be fixed/re-added in X7 (This weekend)
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Grr and i'm already flashing it again :P Figured it wouldn't hurt to flash to stock and try again.

EDIT:

Ok on a clean flash this is what I did

1) Odin KK4 + Corn Kernel back to GB stock

2) Flashed CM10.1

3) Flashed Captivating X6 + Gmail 4.3.1

4) Restored apps and SMS/MMS via Tibu

The problem I have... is that swiftkey still wont stick under keyboards. After a reboot, the problem persists. The widgets for apps now show up which is a plus. Don't have to uninstall and re-install them manually from the play store. Any idea why any other keyboard restored from tibu will not stay chosen? All that works is the Xperia keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] xisque:
Instead Corn Kernel use Semaphore_2.5.0c (official CM 10.1 flashing tutorial/instructions).

Sometimes I noticied some bug using kk4 one click alone. When ICS came out the only way to return to stock kk4 w/o any issues was flashing JF6 (froyo) then KK4 (GB). It takes a minute to do it so its not a hassle.

One click JF6

Master Clear / Reset / Format USB/SD

One click KK4

Odin Semaphore_2.5.0c UNCHECK REBOOT and then boot into recovery

Flash CM 10 nighty and boot it, turn off, boot recovery

Wipe 3x / Format System

Flash Captivating x6 + kernel + everything else.

Swiftkey is working good so far but Ill be testing xylon this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Ah yes, forgot some steps in there

1) Odin KK4 + Corn Kernel back to GB stock

2) Recovery -> full wipe

3) Flashed CM10.1 x2

4) Full wipe

3) Flashed Captivating X6 two times + Gmail 4.3.1

4) Restored apps and SMS/MMS via Tibu

Interesting. I've never had this problem on any other 4.2.2 ROM when using KK4 one click and Corn Kernel as the intermediate step to another ROM. Anyways, I'll try it again later this evening.

I used HellyBean and Devil kernel for a long time from 9 months ago when I got a new Cappy, but recently Mr Der have so many projects to duel.

HellyBean and Devil kernel are no longer as good as themselves before. Now I'm tryin to discover Semaphore and being convinced with all good points that it has.
[Captivate Android Development] droyd666:
Is it ok to use the latest officilal semaphore kernel? I always found the normal oc more useful than live oc since anything over 105% is unstable for me and some of my games are kind of laggy without oc. Sorry if this was already asked:p
[Captivate Android Development] xtremer92:
Same here.. Games like NFS, Morden Combat... still lags even on 116 live oc.....
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
sephhi, I have been using X5 on my daily since it came out minus the few days I tested X6 (ended up restoring my X5 backup), and my phone has been running flawlessly!!

My cappys still just work with that kernel/rom. I'm missing the theme updates, but with X5 I have been running 1200 and 120% for 1440mhz and it runs great!....

I use this phone for everything and fairly often for long periods of time whether I have to plug in or switch batteries, it's always on and doing something. I've had no reboots or any other issues with my overclock at all. Tv out works great, as well as home dock/audio line out...On my other cappy set up as a wifi media device, I can dock it for usb audio line out and tv out at the same time and with it plugged into the charger it has run all day playing video audio and even games on the tv with no lock ups or any other issues other than my kids fighting over it:eek:.

The only bug I had was randomly on a reboot I would get the initial setup again, but I froze that app and haven't seen it since!!:good:
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Had the initial setup happen a few times, but it's been okay now. I'm running X6 with the updated CyanCore kernel. One annoying bug I've found is the random disappearance of my keyboard. Can happen in any app, and usually happens when the phone sloooooows down/lags. The only way I've found to get it to open again is to close and re open the app.

Also I've had no luck with any OC or voltage changes, everytime I try it just freezes & crashes.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
possible build?

So I have been trying out every captivating build since x3/x4 or so, and I was wondering if it is possible to use Xylon as a base for a captivating release?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Gonna push the speed in X7. I had to wait for a bug fix from cm team so hence the delay.

X7 is being built atm. Hang tight.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Nope
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Yes it's fine.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
So I tested this as many ways as I could think of, coming from different bases and wiping/not wiping different things between flashes coming from stock and the result is always the same. X5 and X6 give me this bug where I can connect to Wi-Fi but no data is available to use.
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Does the keyboard thing happen while you are using it? ..I put X6 on a friends cappy and she said the keyboard kept disappearing while she was in the middle of typing. I tried it and didn't see the problem and I concluded she was getting too close to the back button when hitting spacebar......But I might have to tell her she isn't crazy lol.

I don't know why all 3 of my cappys can run 1440mhz on X5 perfectly stable when it seems not many can. They are all different but fairly early builds, 1007 1008 1009...

As well, the very first thing I do after a flash is setup my wifi when it comes up in the initial setup. I have done it using an open, wpa2/psk, and even a hidden router and never had the wifi/data issues.

One thing I might do different is I am not using kk4 when flashing from scratch. I have been starting my flashing with I897UCKI2_noBL_BoogsKernel......Then from there I go to recovery and mount the sd to my pc and put the rom on the sd. Then I flash the rom which just reboots the phone into the roms recovery. Then I flash again....that's it.....I used to flash cm in between but I tried without cm and I have no issues.

I'm not saying my way is better or anything. I'm just sharing since for me this works with no issues......I also want to add, since I started saving my sd contents to my pc then formatting (erasing) my sd partition and system partition before a flash (replacing the sd contents after I've finished setting up the os), I don't seem to get some of the random bugs that have been reported in the past.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] xtremer92:
taking a step back to X5... suites my needs more....

[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
I think the keyboard bug happens no matter which one is used. Hasn't happened to me recently but it's happened on the android, Xperia and Swype keyboards.

I Odin flash KJ3 to get stock GB then Odin flash boog's kernel. I always considered skipping CM but didn't know if it would mess anything up.
