Yep, it's always while I'm typing and it's very annoying :eek:.

Unfortunately it looks like I'll be wiping my whole phone etc, which is a pain since I use it as my daily driver. Any other suggestions for better performance? It's not bad the way it is now, but sometimes out of nowhere the phone just slows down (I always clear mem after exiting apps, usually hovers around 205-280/410mb when I clear it. (Yes I have Bigmem ticked)

RE: X5 X6 wifi

Is one of those methods you tried: flashing CM 10.1, testing wifi, then flashing Captivating on top of it? I only use the wifi on this phone and I have downloaded from Play Store and Goo Manager, browsed the web, and streamed Pandora with no issues. I only wiped Dalvik and cache when coming from CM 10.1 to X6, let the rom settle a bit, then rebooted and flashed Nick0703's Semaphore 2.9.21sc. The wifi was working with the CyanCore kernel too. I have not enabled bigmem. Hope you get that going- if all else fails, X7 may be the answer.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

The keyboard issue is also something I have not experienced, I type emails and take notes and I just use the stock keyboard. I skip the initial wifi setup and enter the settings manually later (or just restore the wifi settings with TiBu). And I have used the stock KK4 to get back to Captivating after flashing a custom bootloader logo. Just lucky I guess... I can also maintain 1440MHz but the battery life is so much better at 1000MHz. I'm excited to see what sepphi has in store for us with X7. maxunger linked to a keyboard that worked for him a few posts above, has anyone else tried that?
[Captivate Android Development] samsgun357:
Try installing keyboards as system/app and see if that helps.

Id est quod est
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:

Flashed X7 right over X6.

Unbelievable performance boost, much much MUCH faster, so far haven't had any keyboard issues. Will update if I find any bugs/issues.

[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
I might be forced to flash X7. I was having no issues with M3 until a couple days ago when I started getting the "settings not sticking" bug. I would click on a notification widget and the widget wouldn't change appearance. The compass also seems to be a few degrees off almost all the time even though I've calibrated it a dozen times. Anything requiring data from APN or Wi-Fi (XDA fetching new posts, MP3 downloader getting a list of songs) takes noticeably longer, at least 2 to 3 times longer than before. I even checked to see if I was still on 850 band. Oh, and the voodoo sound app's notification isn't showing the correct amplifier dB value ..I'd post a screenshot but the upload process keeps freezing at 100% on XDA Premium, not that that's anything new :/

EDIT: Just got a random shutdown while listening to music with the screen off. When I held the power button to turn the phone back on nothing appeared on the screen for a few seconds, then the boot animation appeared with very dim screen brightness for a couple seconds before the brightness went back up to the normal 100% Maps app shows the correct compass heading while moving, so sensor aiding must be working. The notification pull down widgets are working normally again. I'm thinking it had something to do with denying a Google site location access.

I'll test out the GPS and compass on stock tonight before flashing and testing X7
[Captivate Android Development] kinggame992000:
hohoho.. was lagging a bit on x6 for some reason so I flash another rom in wait for x7.. just got home from work and I found this big X7.... today is my lucky day..thank shephi... going back to captivating nowwwwwwwwwwwwww
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: X7

Thank you for mirror, goo has been slow for me recently- and timeouts too. Frustrating to have the latest and greatest so close and then fail.

X7 is treating me well so far, I think I might full wipe and flash again because I only dirty flashed, I'm getting lazy I guess. Still don't understand how this keeps getting better and better... "Perfection is perfected" as Snoop once said.
[Captivate Android Development] Shortelz:
X7 is looking faster already.

Do you use NSTools to setup your cpu settings? I have my OC set at 120%, for some reason it won't let me set a cpu governer. Also, what do I set my voltages at? You used to have it in the original post but it isn't there anymore
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
It's a different kernel in x7, that's why I removed that. I use nstools but voltage control is my recommended alternative. Especially if using semaphore manager as nstools doesn't play nicely with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Shortelz:
Hmm, I just rebooted my phone. It gets all the way to the lock screen then freezes and goes directly to CWM Recovery. Would this be from a overclock too high? How would I fix this? I have my OC set at 120% and haven't had issues at that value in the past.

Well, just ran into a huge issue. I wanted to use swiftkey keyboard instead of the one that came with the rom, after it not letting me install swiftkey keyboard for some reason I uninstalled the touch keyboard thing that came with the phone. When I go to set swiftkey as the default keyboard, settings just crashes. Now no keyboard pops up when I click a text box, so now I have no keyboard :/

@sephhi so after more testing, I believe there is a issue with X7. I have reflashed 3 times, it is impossible to install a new keyboard. When trying to enable the keyboard in settings just crashes. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

To recreate go System Settings - Language and Input - Click the keyboard input method (probably says Default), then click Set up input methods. Then settings crashes.
[Captivate Android Development] ArchTyriel:
Loving X7 already. Haven't seen the keyboard disappear since I flashed it. This one is much faster and the battery has been lasting me way longer (will post a screenshot later when it actually gets low).

Still having weirdness with email though. When setting up a new account the buttons are totally white (Edit: wiped /system and now I can see the very tips of the words in the box but they are still mostly obscured). It's been this way for the past few times I've flashed since after X5. I always do both wipes before flashing. Any suggestions?

Is there any inverted email app that I can replace this guy with? (the white burns my eyes!!)

EDIT:

Well I uninstalled the email application from the phone using titanium and found an inverted email/calendar/calculator/etc in another app package. Here's the link if anyone is looking for it like me:

[Captivate Android Development] kinggame992000:
A single reboot will help. I was able to install SwiftKey. Matter of fact writing on SwiftKey now. Also like to point out that seem like most of the problem like setting don't stick and such could be fix with a reboot..... It weird but I'm used to it by now. Hope it help u somewhat
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
You dirty flashed?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
If you have the settings not sticking bug, you need to reflash by flashing cm 10.1 first, checking if settings are sticking, then flashing captivating over it.
[Captivate Android Development] Shortelz:
All 3 times was a clean flash. Wiped data, cleared cache and dalvik cache, formatted /system. Also tried rebooting and that didn't fix it. I doubt it will make a difference but I am using I9000 bootloaders. I will try redownloading the rom and flashing again...
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Try what I suggested above.
[Captivate Android Development] era246:
Sephii I have noticed that these unofficial releases of semaphore don't run in my phone, I can do what I want I always get the Wi-Fi bug and after this the big lag. Since the last version I have used the official kernel and there is no bug, even nothing bad with Wi-Fi ;) I really suggest you to bundle the official kennel of semaphore I really see nothing which is much worse on it. :)

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

I also want to give you the list of bugs I experienced:

- I can't change my keyboard and language and input settings often have force closes

- I can't use big mem without big lag

- A very old and little bug and I only found this randomly: when I want to change my unlock pattern in settings adds I turn my phone to the horizontal position out force closes ;)

- If I found more I'll tell you ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
I did this as a precaution before the bug occurred. I'm about to do the flash dance to X7 from stock and see if I still get the Wi-Fi issue I've gotten on X5 and X6. Will probably post results tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced bugs/issues with restoring a keyboard (Swype) with TiBu after a flash but reinstalling it normally doesn't give an issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Avikar:
Loving this ROM. best till now.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: X7

Runs even better after a full wipe- I would recommend this to anyone who just dirty flashed. I have noticed the lockscreen widget is behaving differently now with a full wipe to X7 (cLock widget stays up automatically, don't have to swipe over to get to it). Performance is on par with X6, and I had such great battery life on X6 that I hope carried over into X7 but I haven't had enough time to comment on that yet.

One issue I found is that the cLock lockscreen widget is stuck in Metric, and if the cLock widget is added to a home screen the weather info does not display. The Accuweather widget works fine and I prefer that one anyway. Thanks again Sepphi :)
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
After changing it from metric, tap the weather icon to refresh and it'll change. Weather only displays on certain launchers.

BTW is anyone using the xperia unread app?:p

[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Best Captivating version - probably. Best ROM for Captivate - not really.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Your opinion carries no more weight than his. If you've been following the thread from the beginning you'll notice I discourage people from stating my rom is the best or saying it's better than another rom. That's because I know the work that goes into it and I personally don't think it's a competition and respect the work from all the other developers here so I don't want others to get a bad impression or feel slighted in any way. If you look around in other threads you'll find posts by other devs that are thanked by me. Heck I even encourage those who use my rom to go to other dev threads and thank those developers if I've used any of their work such as kernels etc. I remember your reply to my battery usage screenshot from a few pages back. You're noticeably less critical in the slimbean thread though, I wonder why?:rolleyes:

This should confound you. I think gingerbread based miui is the best rom for the captivate, flame away:silly:.

Also, how is something, "not really" the best? So it's kind of the best? Partially the best? You're full of lolz and why are you on this thread?! You don't even use my rom, lol.:D Thanks for telling Avikar his opinion is wrong, but you forgot to flash a different rom to his phone for him. You know, the one you think is best. Please do so soon, lest his suffering continues.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:

[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Well... i'm not going to answer this question. It is provocative. No need to start ROM wars.

I wasn't fighting with Avikar's opinion. My reply was just a correction/addition. Simple, without making any claims. I don't run Slim currently (in case you want to know). Please, don't present me as a hard Slim fan. I always try new ROM releases. I did try your X7 too. It is my 5th version of Captivating to try. And I still don't understand what many users in this thread mean by "fast". I did find one really fast and smooth ROM here on XDA (with some bugs, but fixable). Latest Captivating X7 runs like stock full of bloatware compared to it. Sorry... this is what I see on the screen of my own phone. I'm checking your ROM's progress for months and I never shared any negative comments. Its because I know you do hard work and I really appreciate it. Now you are pushing me to share my opinion. And here it is:

Your ROM is always in beta stage, you jump from one base to another, experiment with all available kernels, add and remove features all the time, etc. It is difficult to track and fix bugs this way, for you and for users too (especially for more advanced users who may fix some bugs themselves). As a result M3 was worse than X5 (user confirmed fact), X6 was even worse than M3 (again, user confirmed fact). In all versions X5, M3, X6 UI lags a little after clean install (if you have something really smooth to compare to), then after some time lags more. X6 is just unusable with all the bugs and FC (again, user confirmed fact). Yes, a ROM with a serious keyboard bug/incompatibility is unusable. I couldn't rum my favorite Smart Keyboard, for example. X6 was the first ROM ever with this issue.

I have to admit, one thing you do the best - promoting your product! Perhaps >10% of the posts in this thread are yours, encouraging people to try your next "faster, even faster, fastest" beta. There are more quiet developers on XDA with more stable and actually faster ROMs. And they don't jump to fight like crazy against every single criticism. This is my opinion. Is it right or wrong I don't know. I'll never recommend a ROM as best. Best for who? Different people have different needs and expectations. Correct? Now calm down and accept my opinion. I'm moving on. You'll never see me here again, I promise. Again, thanks for your hard work! As I said before in one of the threads, all ROMs after stock GB are great, including yours! :good:
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
This part was helpful. Thank you.

The rest was garbage.

Keep up the good work sephhi.... This guy needs to get out more...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
On your phone...I and most others never had any of the issues you speak of. Despite your vast knowledge, you are experiencing some bugs you can't figure out and which aren't the fault of the rom as I and everyone would have them. You probably flash tons of roms without issue so it might be hard for you to accept but maybe I'll post vids of the rom so you see how it should run if flashed properly. For example, I use smart keyboard...so just to prove you wrong, here's smart keyboard which doesn't work on this rom, another of your user confirmed facts, lol.

Now stop spreading FALSE INFORMATION.

-I can change keyboards just fine. Not sure why some are having this issue.

-I use bigmem without lag

- I tried again it runs now without any lag don't know what happened there even I saw this ;)

- I only had this in this version

i don't know why ppl can't appreciate what they get for free... (even if it's the best there is...)

Why can't you get the fact that there is something special about this rom which is keeping this thread up constantly!? I have and even we (Captivating fans) don't you think we all have tried other roms as well?

Ppl stick to the things which they think are best for them... that makes a thing best (when you get what you want) we get all what we want here in this rom so its the best there is for us (not criticizing other devs here - all the devs are doing their best and good and deserve best regards from all community members and i say thanks to all of them)! :)

If you are not getting what you want here so why crapping some one's thread and his fine efforts?! simply move on... n yes plz don't come back!
