I wasn't sure if this was a joke when I read it or not. You said you were on X3 which would mean a full wipe was NOT necessary.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

OK, I know for my daughter's phone (M1) a full wipe is required. For my son's phone (X1 rev2) would it be worth trying a dirty flash or would that only work if coming from X3 or 2.1?

RE: Captivating X4

Coming from X3, I wiped Dalvik, cache, init.d, and nstools settings, then flashed X4 twice. Captivating X4 is incredible.

I haven't been around since v1, but being witness to the progression from v7 to X4 has been a wonderful experience. You are doing such a great job, Sepphi, alongside the rest of the i897 devs, and I truly wish I had more to offer all of you than just my words of encouragement and gratitude.

I have only one bug to report.

My phone randomly turns itself off when the timer turns off the screen. I had almost everything setup when I started to notice the first time and thought maybe it was a setting I changed or an app causing a memory overload. I hadn't OCed or anything, I don't really mess with things like that too often.

I wiped data/factory reset, cleared cache, cleared init.d, formatted /system, and then reflashed X4.

I skipped WiFi setup, since I've heard some people are having issues with that if it's done from the Setup Wizard, signed into my gmail account, then let the phone run for a few minutes without changing any settings or installing any apps. No problems after about 20 minutes of letting it run and occasionally checking to see if the screen would come on from sleep.

First..and really only strange thing I noticed after that was when I tried to launch Titanium Backup from the app drawer, the request for superuser permission showed up normally and after fighting with autorotate I clicked the accept button. It might be a simple issue of me not doing it fast enough but TiBu's main screen showed that it was unable to obtain root permissions. Wasn't even able to back out of that screen before I got distracted by something, and when I got back to my phone the screen was off, and apparently so was the phone. When I pressed the power button I was welcomed by the AT&T PBL screen.

As far as I can tell so far, the only good thing I've seen from the reboot is that TiBu now has root permissions. I hadn't even gotten to the part where I was going to restore my texts from X3 to see if that's what caused it.

This is something I haven't seen since Froyo/Gingerbread ROMS and I'm not really thrilled to see this issue rearing it's ugly head again with no way to repeat the error. If it happens again should I boot into recovery and get the lastkmsg before proceeding?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
That sounds like deepidle or devil idle. Check devil manager's settings as well as nstools. Try flashing a different kernel and see if it still happens.

[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X4](Unbelievable performance!)

That is odd.....I haven't seen this at all with any of the captivating builds, no matter which kernel I use.....I mean ya, right after the screen goes off after boot it's slow to react, but that's just because it's still loading the os and doing any startup updating.....or if you try to get the lock screen up right after it shuts off, then it takes a second to react.

The only time my phones have done anything close is when I tried deep idle. I turned it back off and have no issues since.

My point is this is not happening to many of us so it might be an app or I guess maybe your phone, but I have 3, all different revisions with the newest one only a rev. 1009.

AW: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X4](Unbelievable performance!)

Sephhi after I had x4 2 days installed you'll get your review now.

Battery: 9/10

Batterylife is excellent, My battery works for a whole day with listening to music for 2 hours, 3D games 1 hour and 2D gamss mazbe another hour

Features and stock apps: 10/10

Nothing to say about that, new laumcher is great

Performance: 7/10

The memory bug is almost solved I think, but the launcher sometimes lags a little bit and it has crashed about 3 times scince I installed it, mainly in the launcher settings. 3D games are sometimes a little bit laggy, especially Gta 3.

Overall: 8.5/10

My settings: Interactive, sio, zram/swap diabled, live oc 2% + with Nstools voltage 1248 MHz

Hope I helped you, sephhi :D
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X4](Unbelievable performance!)

Thanks for your review. Are you using devil or semaphore kernel? I ask only because gta is smooth for me. Maybe try some different oc settings. xp

I flashed Captivating on my spare i896 Captivate.

Very nice ROM, fast and pretty stable (except Xperia Launcher crashes after reboot from time to time). I really like thr inverted Market and Youtube app, very easy on the eye in the dark.

Battery life is superb just like the others mentioned, and indeed GTA and most other 3D games runs smooth...

Using Devil kernel

I cannot wait for X5!

Only if this ROM is ported for Galaxy S3, I would so use it.

Keep up the good work!

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Oh yeah, one thing missing in this ROM is the 720p video recording.

The only resolution it would record in is wide 460p

Other than that, I still do not like the stock 4.2 camera interface.. The press hold menu options are ridiculous, and the flicking gallery preview is just as inconvenient.

Any camera UI that uses buttons would be nice than the stock 4.2 camera UI
[Captivate Android Development] ChuckDaEngineer:
Check through the thread, something about BigMem breaking 720p on video. I don't use video on mine so I have never experienced it.
[Captivate Android Development] era246:
Sephhi, I have to report a big bug, I dont really know what happened but my phone was in standby the last 2 hours, when I tried to wake it up, it was very hot and it rebooted.

[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
I'm telling you, your oc settings aren't playing nice with your phone. I knew something was up when you were experiencing lag in gta3 lol.

Try reducing the voltage on your oc to 1325 and disabling your liveoc. Lemme know how it goes.:good:
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X4](Unbelievable performance!)

Any ROM I used in the past with bigmem did not support 720p. Take your pick - 720p or more RAM. Personally, I don't think the camera is good enough to warrant 720p and the larger size videos.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
What can I get rid of?

deepidle and devil idle are not to blame, neither were enabled. It hasn't happened again since that first time after reflashing X4, but I'm hesitant to say that the problem is gone.

Also, i know that some apps are required for the phone to operate as expected. Can you tell me which ones are safe to uninstall, which cannot be uninstalled but can be frozen in TiBu, and which ones should be left alone entirely?

These are the apps I don't use:

Calendar (I use Jorte Calendar)

DSP Manager (I use Voodoo Sound/Voodoo Sound Plus)

Email (Only email I use is Gmail anyway)

File Explorer (I use ES File Explorer)

Floating Stickies (I use Catch Notes)

Google Search (I use the Google website on the browser to search for everything anyway)

GooManager (I prefer to download new ROM updates from my computer and transfer them to my phone)

Messaging (I know this can't be uninstalled but I use Handcent. Can I freeze it without any issues?)

Notes (Again, I use Catch Notes)

PSM (Don't like any of the games on it)

TrackID (I use SoundHound)

Voice Search (Never use it)

Walkman (I use PowerAMP)

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Still on stock settings and haven't installed any apps, waiting for feedback.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X4](Unbelievable performance!)

Awesome work Sephi. Just one bug to report: I was adjusting the build prop mods and as I set the 3G hack it kept stalling. The screen flashed the root permission notification but the setting screen stalled until I hit the back button which led to another notification: settings not responding. It was not responding so I opted to close the build prop page but the change in the setting did occur. I made sure to try several times with the same results. Thanks for the ROM.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I just tried this on my phone and it seemed to work ok for me. It did take a bit to complete though. It asked me for super user rights (full disclosure, I am also using SuperSU from the market) then after I accepted it I waited about ten seconds before I saw the root permission notification. It was probably another 15 to 20 seconds before it completed and the check turned blue.

I'm curious If maybe the superSU was the difference. I seem to have less problems since I started using it, but not sure if it's just coincidence.
[Captivate Android Development] falcon7204:
Well, X3 was a bad experience for me, but when X4 came out I decided to give it another try. I'm very pleased with the performance, although battery life seems a tad worse than CM 10.1 with the Semaphore kernel. I also am not a big fan of the inverted GMail and email apps; that kind of thing tends to give me eyestrain. Would also be nice to have the persistent search box, but as long as the search button works I'm ok with that.

MIght try flashing the Semaphore kernel to see if battery life improves. Would you recommend the latest 2.9.12, or stick with an earlier version?
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I just tested the usb drivers in this rom/devil kernel with an otg cable and y splitter I made out of old cables(ya I know, too much spare time lol).

Within 15 minutes of downloading USB Host Controller from the market I was reading my 4gb usb drive:good:

Switching from the usb2 driver to the usb1 driver allowed my mouse to function, but I can't seem to get a pointer icon so it was kind of pointless (pardon the pun) to use at the moment. If I can figure out how to get the pointer icon to show so I see where I am, I think it would come in handy for my media device setup.

I wonder what else I can do with this thing lol.....Do we have video out on our micro usb maybe? usb to hdmi? :silly: The rca out works really good anyway...This old cappy is having a good second life with this rom as a media device:good:

Sephi, I'm on day two with this great ROM and have noticed that the web browser and some games (word feud) just close all of a sudden. The browser more than any other application. I haven't over clocked or messed with any voltage settings to lead me to believe this to be the cause. This happened on other versions of your AWESOME ROM as well in my case. I really like this ROM and I don't want to jump ship so would you have any suggestions as to what I can do to remedy my particular situation? Thanks:D:D:D

Sephhi I Did what you told me to do but 3D games are in my opinion npt lagfree enough (But it runs better than before) Subway surfer)(my test game) lags every 30 seconds)(this can mean that I can't wipe fast enough because it doesn't recognize it. Gta 3 is laggy as well. Especially when driving a car. I don't knpw where this is caused by. :(

My settings I tried:

- Many governors

- Live Oc 120%

- Voltage for 1200 MHz: 1325 V and no live Oc

Sounds like a lot going on in the background...apps looking for updates, email/ social apps, even any monitoring like temp widgets and so on....

I use greenify to tame most of that, and even if you don't hibernate any apps, it comes in handy to see what is going on.

I just raced 6 races on nfs most wanted and the first track was lagging just a little so I went to home loaded greenify and hibernated my yahoo mail app and facebook app.....According to tibu I have a total of 201 apps installed. Greenify is in control of at least 20....So anyway I held home button to get recent apps and loaded nfs and it continued where I had paused it. I finished that race with 0 lag and raced 5 more after with no issues at all.....

It's kind of like the old pc days when you had to shut down all kinds of things just to get the latest games to run decent.:laugh: Back then we used things like fsautostart to control different profiles for whether we were gaming or multitasking...well, I did anyway:D

I really hope you or sephhi can pinpoint the issue, I have never been more satisfied and into using this phone than I am right now, and I've had my original for 2 years now.

Sepphi,

I do have another minor nit. The "cLock" widget will not display the weather under the clock. I'm assuming this is the same widget used in CM 10.1. I've tried using geolocation, specifying my location, shortening the refresh interval, even resizing the widget to fill the screen, but nothing seems to work. This behavior was present on earlier versions of Captivating prior to X1. Other than that, I'm pleased with the performance of X4 and battery usage seems to have improved (perhaps a full charge after flashing helped). It's nice to have an old phone that feels new! Thanks for the hard work!

/datadata filling up?

I guess it is time to wipe my son's X1 build and flash X4. His phone all of a sudden won't boot up. I cleared cache and dalvik and it went through optimizing and the stayed at "starting apps". He has had problems in the past on CM where I believe /datadata would fill up and cause the phone to not boot up completely until a factory reset. I think that is the case again. I believe the CM team changed their partition layout a while back to not use the /datadata partition which basically sped up phones with slow NAND memory. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this since it has been a while. Anyway, I believe you changed from CM to HellyBean which I "believe" uses /datadata to make it fast. Does X4 use that setup and is there any way to prevent it from filling and causing it to fail booting. Even a warning ahead of time would be good. Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense - just what I remember of what I thought I understood... :D
