Sephhi

is it possible you can make the browser icon grey again for the next version. I like how it goes with the phone, messaging, and people icons like it was in previous versions

Great work bud in keeping our cappy alive after 3 years
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Just flash the attached zip.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
@Mortal Eternity thanks for the post. You guys keep me motivated.:good:

About your request: It's meant to be like that if you look at screenshots of the Xperia Z. I don't have the framework files to decompile the launcher properly yet, so only minor edits for now. ra3al is working on adding all the features from the 7.4 launcher to this new one. I'll include it in my next release if it's ready in time.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
:)

here is my token of appreciation for all the efforts and hard work you put in to this project... :)

hey captivating users put this in ur signature post... i dont like blank signature space! (i have uploaded a high res version so that any one could re size it on their discretion - or just let me know the size n i'll re size it for you)

p.s. i know i m not much of a designer my self but i m having a day off due to my illness and i have been thinking to make it for a long time, will design a better one (or at least try to...)

here is the imgur link too: http://imgur.com/mdI46ps

so that u ppl can take image code...

@sepphi: please let me know if any further changes are required in the signature image... (seeking your approval on same)

Ok, so I updated to 9.3 yesterday, and everything was fine until one point when my facebook app stopped working, that is, it constantly loads, but nothing ever shows in news feed, I can see my notifications, but I cant open them. Same with facebook messenger. Then i reinstalled both of apps, didnt help. Then dirty re-flashed rom, didnt help either. Now i fully reflashed with full wipe, still no solution. Is it facebook app, or my phone being an a**???

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

I had that issue for the last 3 updates found out it was from restoring my Facebook from a back up. This last flash I just manually set up account and settings and it works as it should.......funny though how it would still show you had a message for example, but then nothing loads......also what threw me off at first was it still updated and loaded right when on data connection.

i cant seem to change my keyboard.....ive installed KII Keyboard from the market and from the Input notification, i select the KII keyboard but nothing happens it keeps going back to the Xperia keyboard.....even after restarting. tried the Gingerbread Keyboard also and same thing.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

Have you tried the Swype beta? Version 1.4 seems pretty stable.

beta.swype.com

And on that note.. Doc's Master ICS V12 had an official version of Swype built into the ROM. Themed black and blue. Would you be able to somehow put that into this ROM for us? Not sure how official versions are obtained or if they cost money or anything. I still have the flash file for the ROM and a titanium backup of the app+data if that would help.

Yes I've tried simply restoring the backup and it just force closes. :/

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

Got a new one for you. Was driving to work just now, phone up on dash, and looked up and phone was rebooting. On top of that, it rebooted into recovery mode. Weird, never seen that one before.
[Captivate Android Development] shariqm:
i'll back you up on this. Cannot change keyboard on the ROM at all despite the input clicker showing up. I've tried Swype too, it gives me the option to enable Swype but never allows me to use it and goes back to Xperia Keyboard. I wonder what would happen if I uninstalled Xperia Keyboard through Titanium, hmmmm.....

ps Xperia keyboard supports gesture typing i.e. Swype so no major complaints on my end

Not all gesture typing keyboards are created equal. I've used Swype since the day I got my captivate in August 2010. I'll never go back. ;)

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

I dont know about you guys, but i really cant see any battery improvement...After full cycle (drain battery to 0, then full charge without brake), here are my stats :

My phone is 1h18min on battery with screen on for 38min and i have 86% battery left, also the wifi is on.

Is it just my phone, or everybody else is having same experience?
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Never drain your battery to zero! It's bad for the battery. Try to charge when it gets below 10%.

If you follow the cm10.1 thread you'll see that the latest versions have a lot of users complaining about battery drain and android os using over 40% etc. This is built from those same sources and doesn't have that problem. Battery drain depends on your particular software configuration. In the OP

I linked to a free app that manages your data connection and in my use helped a lot with stand by time.

In my experience:

gmail and autosync drain a lot of battery(early versions of the rom didn't include gmail) I use the email app and have it set to update every hour.

Apps that turn data off when the screen is off aid a lot

smartassv2 uses less battery than ondemand(adjust via semaphore app)

Minimize use of widgets ( I never use more than 7 widgets total)

Widgets that access internet data can cause drain, be smart about update intervals for such widgets

Never use more than one clock widget( the xperia one is great because it updates only when you're on the screen it's on)

If you suspect your standby time should be more than what it is, install cpu spy and see how much time the cpu is spending on each frequency and if it is entering deep sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
yeah Kii now works.... i think i had to restarted the phone and it worked..... phone was moving a weeeee bit sluggish though.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
never drain your battery to zero it will cost you your batteries over all health! also note that battery on full charge, will drain more juice till 80~75% and after that it will sustain the level (its my observation) i m getting more then 1.5 day per charge with 9.3 on normal use (and by normal use i mean minor gaming, daily calls, texting etc) and yes i turn down all the apps which auto update themselves (by turning off auto update feature in each app)... keep a check on background and running apps, install better battery status to see alarms and kernal wake locks, and any other activity which is preventing your phone from going in to deep sleep mode....:angel:

please don't take any notice of 1h 18min crap your mobile is telling you... its a calibration problem plus it always depends on your use let me attach a screen shot of my phone to clear your mind on this one! :cool:

switch you phone to only 2g mode that will also help to save battery drain (if you dont use 3g much):fingers-crossed:

if you are using weather widget and other like that, set update time to 6 to 8 hours (max limit is 12hrs) besides why do you even need to update it in every 30 min :p

p.s. above mentioned stuff is in addition of the instruction which sepphi has advice (he is the boss here :cowboy:)!

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity!
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
sephhi, I have flashed this rom from scratch, completely formatted and no restores at all at least 5 times now trying to trouble shoot an issue.....for some reason, after the first and sometimes even second reboot my settings app goes bonkers.

At first boot I go through the wizard and setup google and wifi and all that then it hangs after the wizard until I push home to load xperia launcher....At this point if I go to settings and start in on setting them up like ringtone, status bar slider for brightness, or gps just to name a few, i can toggle them no prob and they work instantly. One of my installs I even got as far as getting my own keyboard selected as default with no issues at all (after the settings mess up the only way to select my keyboard is to disable the xperia keyboard and reboot then I can choose mine)......

BUT, after sometimes 1 reboot or sometimes 2 or 3 all of a sudden when I change anything in settings it wont stick, or at least says it didn't stick..... For example I go to location and turn on gps, back out then go back to location it shows it still off (and it really is off still). then if I reboot it will be on. Same for ringtone. I select a different one it and it shows no change and is still the old tone if a call comes in. but after a reboot it is the new ringtone....

So I thought, well maybe it is a particular setting, that when I get to it in my rounds of setting up the phone it messes things up....but I have yet to find any ryme or reason for it. (at one point I thought it was happening right after turning on power widget for notification area but this last time I skipped it and still had the same result)....Also after this happens it seems the only thing that works to get the settings working correctly again (for a short time), is a full one-click back to stock GB then flashing your rom 2 times...1 for kernel/recovery and 2 for rom. EDIT..(If I just flash over, even after a full wipe the settings are messed up right from first boot)

Anyway, Just wanted to bring it to your attention.... I'm still trouble shooting to see if I can figure it out.:)
[Captivate Android Development] kinggame992000:
ok.. i don know if this gonna help or not.... but try this...

wipe date/factory reset for 3 times .. yes. 3 time i said it...

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

install rom 3 times... yet.. it 3 time again... then reboot.. see how it go....hope it work
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

See..I have too many apps that require sync to get battery life like that. I've never gotten long times like that on any ROM. Maybe it's just my device.

Sephhi, I was asking before about your plans for development on other devices because I plan on getting an AT&T Galaxy S4 when it comes out.

I'm reading a couple books on app development and was wondering if knowing that stuff would help me any with ROM development. Or is that just knowing a lot of Linux?
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I was hoping this was crazy enough to work......I tried it and it did allow my settings to change as they should....on the first boot....but after a reboot, I already can change the ringtone and it doesn't change, and if I select vibrate when ringing, leave the setting then come back to it, it is off again.....till another reboot then the ringtone has changed and the vibrate on ring is on..........on first boot (when it all works right) I can change for example the battery from regular to percentage and I see it change right then....after a reboot I can no longer see it change when I try....lol until another reboot.....it all still works i guess, its just not fun to have to reboot just to toggle gps and so on.....I just hope I can figure out what's up because I love this rom otherwise. I'm usually one of the guys not having the issues others post about...not anymore lol:confused:

EDIT: I re-read this and forgot to Thank you kinggame992000 for the suggestion it was worth a shot!!
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
When I posted above, my sound settings were already messed up but my gps still turned on and off no problem....trying anything, I turned off profiles and rebooted and now, lol, my sound settings work as they should, but my gps settings are messed up again.....When my gps settings mess up, what happens is I end up with 3 toggles and none work till reboot. By 3 toggles i mean, it is in the "on" position i click it and it goes off for a second then back on. I click it again it goes and stays in the off position and i can repeat that by clicking over and over (on) (off then on again) (off). None of which actually do anything until a reboot.

Update: FINALLY!!.... I think.... I flashed the latest cm-10 and everything stayed working so I flashed back to this 9.3 and the issue is gone so far after 3 or 4 reboots. Settings all work as they should....I did notice that before I flashed cm-10 that I couldn't mount the emmc but I could mount the other partitions. Now, after flashing cm and flashing back to this rom I can mount emmc in recovery. No idea if that was what was wrong, but it's all better now yay!!

[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Thank you, me too!!..... I really like this rom!!! ...any idea why it took flashing cm first to fix the issue? I assume it was some sort of corruption somewhere, but I dont know why oneclick to stock and reflashing this rom wouldn't fix it. I even used odin to flash a semaphore kernel then flashed this rom and still no luck till I flashed cm first.

now that it's working right......scores are back up!!:D
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
The installer script is different from cm 10.1. I load additional partitions etc so that could be why. Nice Scores!

[Captivate Android Development] aduka:
multidpi ui

Good work sephhi, but when I set lcd dencity to 220 there is a certain asymmetry in the interface. It would be good to do multidpi interface.

P.S. Sorry for my English.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Its the launcher being used in the current build that doesn't support custom DPI. A few pages back Sephhi posted a zip file with the launcher used in earlier builds and it supports custom DPI. Locate and flash it and you will be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
fast charge toggle was made into a paid app. I can't include it in the rom. :p

More changes

-themed fast scroll in file explorer

-updated some app icons

-+25v int voltage increase on 800mhz and 1000mhz frequencies(more stable liveoc for you)

-removed unnecessary ringtones and other sounds

-faster boot

[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)

That oc is with voltage untouched and bigmem on....I do use an old launcher, I don't know how much that helps because I do see scores close to this with Xperia launcher too. Maybe just a difference in running apps/widgets....I use a 7 screen layout with many widgets and shortcuts, but still might b that 1 app that makes the difference.....that was my best score so far and was after only installing a handful of apps and setting up "settings". After I am completely done installing/setting up apps I usually score between 4400 and 4800.
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1]Captivating (Xperia Themed)[9.3](Lagless+long battery life)
