Re: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.2.2 JDQ39][I897] Xylon \\ 2.2.1 \\ ONGOING

first of all,thanks for you nice roms it is very smooth and no fc till now,but i can't find my APN setting still and while i solve it via third app.Can you have a look at this if you have time ? also can you advise what kind of font do you use .it seem a little thin...
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Check settings>more>mobile networks>network operator. be sure it selected the correct carrier. You can also enter it in manually in Access Point Names. What's your carrier? It should have your settings. I'm fairly certain XYLON uses CM's apn config. XYLON team decided to change the font. I'm simply bringing you guys the ROM. I'm not modifying it's look or features...yet.

Personally I like the font, like Font installer root, if you don't like it. Fairly easy to use.
[Captivate Android Development] aliver.dun:
thanks for your reply,since i flash other CM /AOKP/AOSP rom and don't have such issue...I come from China and the carrier is China mobile....haha.Don't worry about that I have already fixed it via install the APN assistant...

For font,it;'s just my thinking.But I also think it's better anyway...Thanks for you great rom again..
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
2.3 uploaded. I also uploaded an non-inverted gapps

Download links are Dead or Broken, any mirrors?
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Links are not broken
[Captivate Android Development] mcyorian:
Server not found dev folder .... server problem

"can't find the server at www.d-h.st."
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
It's being block on your end then. It's up and running. I suppose I'll make a mirror folder. I did it this way because I'm lazy. I'm just sharing my hobby. I ask for nothing in return. I will only add the latest. I don't want to download all of them

Edit:

Mediafire mirror added to OP
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Damn I'm cranky. Lots going on. Should have an update today. Just built it. Gonna build on the Vibrant and test first

Re: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.2.2 JDQ39][I897] Xylon \\ 2.3 \\ ONGOING

Great ROM is my daily driver now and with cyancore 1.8 kernel is a beast.

Just want to find the best cm color tunning to be perfect :( can't find good combinations yes
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Every phone's different.

2.3.3 uploaded :)
[Captivate Android Development] aliver.dun:
very nice rom,keeping going....:p
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
This update runs amazingly smooth. Gallery doesn't recognize previous saved images though? Any ideas? Cleared cache already. And reinstalled but no dice.
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
First things first. Go to settings>about phone and tap build number repeatedly. Go back and head to settings>apps>all tab. Clear data in gallery andmedia storage. Then go to settings>development settings>launch tools>media provider. Scan sd card. Give it about 20 minutes to populate.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
OK. When I start media scanning in Dev menu it says it starts scanning but I get no icon in status bar and it does not discover anything. Also on startup it only says that it is checking for errors and never says it is scanning for data
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Full wipe and a fresh start fixed it. Thanks again! This runs amazing!

Sent from my Russian submarine using sonar.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
The ROM runs quite well.

Perhaps a warning on the OP that it can wipe your APN and you'll have to go searching on the interwebs to find the APN for your carrier.

Can't wait to see what the next version brings.
[Captivate Android Development] aliver.dun:
also this issue..
[Captivate Android Development] aliver.dun:
Is there any updated version to flash?I want to flash....thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Gallery Issue

Ok, so I have had a bug with the gallery not recognizing the images on the internal memory. I found out that I had restored a Ti backup of rom toolbox pro, and it had the SD boost (1024) enabled, as well as the memory manager set to aggressive. Once I put these setting back to stock (128 for sd) the items in the gallery appeared as normal again. and all is well in Xylonopia.
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
I must say this rom is awesome! It's simple, clean and fast, but it still have every options that I need. After trying a lot of roms, I decided to use this rom as my daily driver. Other roms seems too complicated for me, and more options, more complicate meaning more bugs. To me, no bugs at all, just the font is quite thin.

Thank you so much for bringing this rom to our cappy world!! :)
[Captivate Android Development] dparrothead1:
Hummmm....seem to having a problem d/l the 2.3.3 update. Both sites gives me an unsuccessful download.
[Captivate Android Development] dparrothead1:
Tried again this morning. D/L gets to 60% and then goes to "unsuccessful".

Anyone else having problems?
[Captivate Android Development] dparrothead1:
Thanks for d/l, Nelson.:thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
A special treat.

Hybrid mode beta. With per app DPI. Based on PA's. Thanks to Beerpong.

Available now :)
[Captivate Android Development] Jdgp42:
Nice job will try it tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] aliver.dun:
first ,thanks for your awesome rom,pls advise if it is pure aosp rom,if not,have you plan to continue to make xylon or supernexus rom,i like the aosp roms ,it is simple and fast.....tks..:thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
Ever since I have been using this rom, I haven;t been receiving any mms picture messages, I don't know why, has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Nope. Have you checked your APN settings?
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
I've been running the latest for the past few days and I'm very impressed. Very smooth.

Two bugs

1. I cannot swipe from notification to my toggle tiles on the bottom of my pulldown. Only works at a sys density of around 320.....(edit it was just the theme I was using [galaxy s4] )

2. Cannot seem to find a good system density that will keep my home screen widgets/system menus from slightly overlapping into my status icons. Still messing with it tho.

[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Original apn-conf.xml is empty. Extract attached apn-conf.xml file. Use built-in root explorer and go to /system/etc, rename existing apn-conf.xml file, copy new one there and match permissions with the original one. Reboot the phone, go to Settings>Data usage / More...>Mobile Networks>Network Operators. Make sure the phone is set to Chose automatically. Go one screen back to Access Point Names, press Menu and select Reset to default. Wait... all APN settings for your operator will appear shortly. Select what you need (is more than one available) and the problem is solved. (credit goes to dave71670, OP for Rootbox Salty Bean SE thread, hit his thanks button too)

:)

BTW, very good ROM. Very smooth and quick. Thanks Xylon team, good work!
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
ngiordano,

This ROM looks nice and works very smooth, thanks for your good work! :good:

But how to fix the fonts? In some apps fonts looks so thin that it's hard to read.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Are you on default 240dpi?
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Yes. Xylon 2.3.3. Also I copied fonts from CM10.1, rebooted phone, but this didn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
You may need new reading glasses... :D

I like this thin font better than stock. No readability issues here.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
You're laughing but I have made LASIK but after this font I think I will need new glasses.

Just look at this screen, it looks bad even on PC monitor. On the phone with pentile it looks ugly as hell.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
I think it's you, no offense. I can read that perfectly fine...:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
No offence, I'm just asking how to change that font to the default one. Just want to get rid off that moire.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Download a font changer from the market. Used to have one on my P8000.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Thanks for the help, I changed fonts and now it looks slightly better.

But I found another and more critical issue, GPRS/EDGE data is not working for me on this ROM. I have tried to change kernels and even to reflash the ROM. Anybody else have this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
OK, go back one page and read post #84. To get data access you need correct APN settings.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Thank you very much, that helped! :good:
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
You're welcome!

Xylon Team, please fix this issue in the next release. Missing info in original APN config file potentially keeps many users away from this great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
I'm trying on 2.3.3 for a day, it seems like a beast rom with ton of awesome functions. Thanks for your work

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Same here and GPS is also not good :cyclops:
[Captivate Android Development] xisque:
Agree!

Manual APN configuration really sucks

(using 2.3.4 hybrid).
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
GPS on many Captivate phones is not good because of a hardware issue. You can't fix hardware with software updates.

I'm one of the lucky guys with good working GPS. I got GPS lock in less than 30sec cold start, inside my car with phone on dashboard.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
How is your cLock widget on Xylon 2.3.3? I mean this rom is so powerful but many things need to be fixed on Cappy :good:
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I use clock only, no weather & calendar events. Clock looks normal to me. Nothing to fix there.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Trying add cLock with Weather and it can't get location.

Trying recoding video but camera F.C and stock video player cannot play video.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Yes, cLock weather is not getting location. I got better weather app though, never used cLock for weather on any ROM.

On my phone Camera app records 720p videos normally and stock Video Player plays videos normally. Just tested both, no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
If your camera and gallery is fc'ing it's probably that you have bigmem turned on. Bigmem breaks 720p video.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
I knew that, I just used another kernel but I don't know what happened here,. but in the end I always confirm that I'd be a excellent ROM :victory:
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
I figured out Semaphore kernel causing camera f.c
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Semaphore kernel has altered memory. It causes FCs. Not sure why it's used. Useless on these phones. Little gain, big problems. I've been working now. Little ROM work lately. I'll try to update soon. Also working on bringing Revolt ROM to us as well :).
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Actually, I'm using Devil kernel with mem patch but it's still well :laugh:. I don't know why but I had flashed some recently Semaphore versions, all of them made Xylon's gallery f.c. In the other side, your rom is pretty cool. Hope you keep it up like your Vibrant's rom :good:
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Is that the original or unofficial semaphore kernel thats causing the gallery FCing? I have used both and never had a single FC. I know that bigmem patch breaks the gallery/camera, but other than that I have had no issues. BTW, is there a way to use bigmem and have gallery work? Are you getting better speed with the devil kernel over stock?
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
After applying Bigmem patch, Unofficial Semaphore kernel with letter 's' works well with camera and videoplayers.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Thanks, I was under the impression that you couldn't have bigmem running and have working video/camera/gallery. I'll give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
You should check for yourself, would you like the lastest Devil Kernel that I extracted and made a zip CWM. You'd install Devil Tools in HellyBean i9000 topic, fix the permission for Devil Tools to changing governor available.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
It never happened with me :confused:. After checking, flashing some recently unofficial Semaphore kernels with Xylon, my Captivate isn't able to record and play video but some recently Official Semaphore kernels, it worked. But as you can see Official Semaphore kernel has just few functions, and in the end I decided to use Devil Kernel with some patches like Swap... In my Cappy, Xylon is running the best with Devil Kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Probably you flashed s versions of kernels (i.e. Unofficial_Semaphore_JB_2.9.21sc) without patch (JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip), in this case you have problems with video. Then if you flashed official Semaphore without s (i.e. Semaphore_JB_2.9.21c), it worked good for you. But s version requires the patch and it doesn't have problems then.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: bigmem patch

The bigmem zip file mentioned is here.

Thank you for this ROM ngiordano!
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Guy, I knew it, I has been following Unofficial_Semaphore kernel for a long time, why I dont know this little thing? with 's' and without 's' I always made my Cappy standing at 396 MB of RAM. And Unofficial_Semaphore kernel: Video Dead; Official_Semaphore kernel: Working.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I flash Unofficial Semaphore on almost every ROM I try. Mainly because of Step Overclock and In-Call Volume. Tell me how to duplicate the error you see? I have a backup of configured Xylon, can flash it back in 5min and test. On 3 different ROMs I've tried lately default Video Player works as expected, MX Player works too, default Camera app records 720p videos with no issues (some hiccups on one of the ROM's but works). Haven't tried different video settings though. What quality you test with? High of Super? Default is High.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Sorry guy, I don't mean to offend you. I just was surprised because a video on Unofficial_Semaphore_JB_2.9.21s_vc_c with the patch works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
I haven't tried the bigmem patch yet. So I'll just flash unofficial semaphore s-vc-c, then flash that bigmem (hugemem?) Patch from the link above and done?

Sent from my flags using semaphore!
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Exactly. But do not enable "Bigmem" option in Semaphore Manager, otherwise video will be broken again.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
I'm running unofficial semaphore vc-c already, if I don't enable the bigmem, then what would I gain from using the s-vc-c kernel, and this patch?
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
You will get 396 Mb of RAM without losing video.

wrong forum????? i know it's wrong forum THAT'S why i said off topic.....

since the dev made the xylon rom port for the captivate maybe he knows about one for Hercules.

wrong forum!!!???? nothing more annoying that stating the obvious....

it's a forum in other words people helping other people not stating the obvious
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Why wouldn't you use the SEARCH function in THE FORUM FOR YOUR DEVICE. Seems faster.

I'm helping you understand where to ask your question for a proper answer. This is the Captivate forum. We use captivates. Not T989's so the chance of you getting an answer quickly are slim.

Use the search feature, it works wonders.:rolleyes:

EDIT: Since you seem to not be able to do so on your own, I took the liberty of doing it for you.

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=166737581
[Captivate Android Development] sam.balia1012:
1- identify who u giving the advice to....in other words a 7th grader wont be thinking of giving a math advice to a tenured math prof ?

2- u probably do know of a xylon rom port for t989 .... instead of posting it u rather stick to these pathetic posts

...Just lend a helping hand
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
If you cannot figure out how to use the search feature, I don't recommend you flashing anything to your device. It's common sense to search when you can't find something, before asking others. We all have busy lives.

No, I don't. Want to know why? Because I have a Samsung Captivate, NOT a T989. I even did your damn research for you. No there is no port. People want it (see the PAC rom post), but I see no "Xylon port for T989".

Stop acting like a damn child.

Sorry to OP and anyone else who uses this for bugs etc.
[Captivate Android Development] sam.balia1012:
forget it.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
OK, 2 pages potential kernel issue discussion. Guys, lets focus on Xylon, please. :good:
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
"on topic"

Ok, got the Unoffical semaphore s-vc-c, swap enabled, 106%liveOC, interactive, noop.....and its runs great.

Semaphore Manager, does enabling KSM actually enable UKSM? every time i turn it on it doesnt stick after reboot, any ideas?

Thanks for the recomendations

I'll be back later, I have to go ask for for captivate ports in the T989 forum now.....
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Something ROM related, KSM setting doesn't stick with Xylon/Captivating, but sticks with CM/Slim/Salty.

Don't bother about KSM in Xylon. This ROM runs excellent with or without KSM. And keep zRam disabled for better speed.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
ok next problem...

ok all was well until I noticed that my 3g tile on my notifications said "3g 0ff" I pushed the tile and instantly lost service completely, none of my APN's could get signal, and my status tile started showing "no service". Before anyone says it, my bill is current and my service is active, I checked. I then restored my last backup and still couldnt get service. Right now I am in the process of a full wipe (format /system, factory reset/wipe, wipe cache, wipe davlik, and installing a completely different rom (remics). hopefully I can get signal again and then maybe restore my last backup and get back onto Xylon2.3.3. Any ideas as to how this could have happened? My provider is straight talk btw....
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Never had this issue, have no idea what could have happened. :confused:

RemICS-JB 3.1 is actually themed Xylon 2.1.0, you are going to downgrade your Xylon. No wonder if you get same issue on RemICS-JB.
[Captivate Android Development] JengaMasterG:
I like the rom a lot :D great work! :good: But, when I flash the rom and then gapps and I boot the rom successfully and everything, I don't have any google apps (as in gmail, youtube, etc), the play store is an update play store, which looks nice, but I can't download any apps from there because the store says that the app is incompatible with my device. :( Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm installing from Slim Rom with 3.0.71 Semaphore Slim kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Did you make all wipes after Slim ROM? Or did you changed dpi?
[Captivate Android Development] JengaMasterG:
I did the data/factory reset first and then flashed the rom and gapps. I changed the dpi to 220 after loading the rom because the font and icons were too big for my liking.
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
That's it, you changed dpi. You need a patched Google Play to work with it, otherwise it will tell you about incompatible device.
[Captivate Android Development] JengaMasterG:
Oh i see :) Will that be a thing to consider after the rom is official? or should I just look for a patched app?
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Slim Rom has patched apk, I believe you can get it from Slim.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Don't remember well, but I think Xylon's GApps package does not contain GMail and YouTube. You have to download them from the Market, if you want them. About unsupported device I'd suggest clean install. Or you may try first to remove your account, reboot, add account, reboot. The latest Market has mind of it's own. To be honest, I liked the old one better. Why we need app icons so huge? Made for blind people or something...!? :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] JengaMasterG:
Thanks a lot!
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Maybe you will need to clear data of Google Play after installing the patched version and maybe reboot then. And also this will not fix gmail etc, as Val D. mentioned those apps are probably not in Xylon gapps, you can try to install normal gapps before installing the patched GPlay..
[Captivate Android Development] JengaMasterG:
Well I found the solution in the Hybrid Version:

Go under Hybrid in settings and you can either choose the overall dpi, or certain app dpi's. So I changed the system and launcher dpi and kept the Play Store dpi the same and it works!
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Fixed it. Entered service menu found that it put me on CDMA band only.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
ngiordano, where are you buddy? :)
[Captivate Android Development] ngiordano:
Haven't liked the ROM as of late. Having issues. I think I know the culprit. I'll try to fix it.

In the mean time I built a pure AOSP build for the Vibrant.

Been working too.

I'll try a fresh sync and see if I can sort things out :)
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
I like the ROM very much, especially screen dimming before the sleep and autobrightness settings. :good:

Looking forward for the updates.
[Captivate Android Development] deathblade:
has anyone else been experiencing where the screen times out and just wont came back on? i just flashed this ( took my awhile cuz i was at stock) any help would be great (i flashed the newest one)

edit: fixed that by flashing the version before, though not getting data signal now..??

EDIT EDIT: FIXED DATA PROBLEM, needed to add in my apn settings
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
So the missing APN information is still an ongoing issue?
[Captivate Android Development] deathblade:
Yeah but only after flashing (after you input the settings they do stick after reboot , cache wiping etc)

If I may ask, you sound as if you have a past with this rom , and I was wondering if you could enlighten me as to if devil kernel is supposed to be compatible with this ROM, or rather vice versa.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
APN permanent fix is in post #84.

Devil 4.2 "revert" kernel works OK, tested.
[Captivate Android Development] RJ287:
Best ROM

Over the past couple years (since I obtained my Samsung i896 captivate) I have tried so many ROMS that i have lost count.

This has been the best ROM I have ever had the pleasure of using. Thank you guys SO much for this!

This is the first time I've been 100% satisfied with a ROM, not a single complaint. :highfive:
[Captivate Android Development] ecselite:
No update? Version 2.7.3 released in I9000 forum
[Captivate Android Development] mindphaser2k9:
Thanks for the info, I flashed it with Captivate kernel, works very good and fast. And finally it has normal fonts! :victory:
