Saw it in a s3 forum and I flashed on mine . it isn't my work so please please please give the op credit/thanks/donations/hugs

Super good I never had my signal bars so full before and also fixes lag like crazy . make to download all zips just in case anything happens you never know .

This was flashed with aokpz unofficial on mako with stock kernel so you never know . suppose to help battery as well. We will see since its running so smooth now

Ohh PS.try it and report back thanks
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
i took a liberty to look inside the zip that you flashed.. when you have issues later on(random reboots, etc. theres lots of potential for conflict in that zip), just reflash your rom(and gapps), no need to wipe.
[Nexus 4 General] raidrom:
I know . but he has a revert zip and also one in case it doesn't book . I use thought cause with each nightly I deleted 18 apps out of the system/app and only have 76 total between that and data/app

I heard crossbreeder works better, Although I haven't tested it out myself.
[Nexus 4 General] raidrom:
Do it its awesome
[Nexus 4 General] drakester09:
All these lag eradicating solutions might do more harm than good. The better solution is to try a custom kernel or tomorrow rather than toy with these less than technically fundamented placebos.
[Nexus 4 General] raidrom:
Did you research what was done before you posted ? Or was this just a negative lashout for no apparent reason ?
[Nexus 4 General] drakester09:
The former, I saw it too when I had an S3. I read it before.

It's less damaging to your battery life compared to Seeder and less placebo than supercharger but it's more intrusive and it messes around with this that are not the source of lags/issues

Most likely it keeps i/o or cpu less in idle state so it performs better, but has a cost in the long run.

Kernels are a much better approach and frankly I had zero lag issues with this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
jfi .....kernels mess with governor settings too.
[Nexus 4 General] MrPhilo:
I have the Octa S4 and I have flashed this too, I am using one older version though but it does indeed make your phone somewhat a lot smoother, animation and scrolling, but i'm selling the S4 and returning back to Nexus (S4 Price = Nexus 4 + Nexus 7 Second Gen (?))

I had backed up my galaxy tab 10.1 a long time ago and had a lot of important stauff on it. After i backed it up i put it on my windows pc. I recently had to send in my tab to get it fixed. It came back like a brand new tab and now i want to put that back up on my tab so i can restore it on there. I have already tried twice and failed both times. If anyone knows how to do it please let me know i would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

HY,i had the same problem with my 8.9 tab ,you need to download samsung keies and then install it.Plug in your phone and open the kies that you installed,after that you have to wait a bit,than got to my computer(dont close kies),and select your device.Drag your files into the root of sd(the internal storage),and youre done.PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] ryan227:
I think i pretty much get it but when i move the files to my tab do i do it one by one or do i put them in a zip folder and move it to my tab. Also once i moved them over do i go to recovery mode and install them on my tab?
[General Questions and Answers] johnyvlad:
HY,you can create a folder in the internal storage ,and name it as you want,after that just drag the files,it doesnt matter how, it can be one by one or all at the same time.IF you have some apk and want to install them,you have to download a file manager from play store(like astro)and install them from there.

Can I just remove or add apps to a ROM/GAPPS zip and flash that or would I need to modify the MANIFEST.MF also?
[Motorola Atrix HD] akash akya:
Just add apps.... no need to modify anything.....

Don't remove apps which you dont know in system / app.... there is a thread regarding apps that can be removed..... :D

Tip : you should check "how to create ROM" threads where basic q are explained clearly.... there are 100 of thread regarding this...
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I know not to remove apps that I don't know, but I just remove the ones I don't need/want. I just wanted to make sure so I can integrate ad-blocking and Cerberus and make a few market apps default system apps. Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: ****ed something up. Too late tonight... bed time, maybe tinker a bit in the morning and hopefully get it to work.

I've noticed since I got my XDA IIi that the GPRS seems to 'stick'. It's got worse since I upgraded the ROM and Radio (ver 1.72.00WWE and 1.17.00 respectively).

What happens is that I attempt a GPRS connection but I get a message telling me that the either the dialled number didn't answer or it couldn't connect. However, if I do a 'soft' reset I can connect. The problem seems not to occur if I remain within a cell. ie. once I've done a soft reset at work then it's OK until I go home and vice-versa. Any ideas or suggestions? I did have this problem with the original XDA and when I contacted O2 I got answers which either insulted my intelligence or had a destinct whiff of BS about them but never a viable suggestion.

GPRS Connection problem

Hi ya every one, I am new to this sight. Came accross your GPRS connection problem, I got my XDA II, about month a go, and also have GPRS connection problem, tryed everything my self and had to take it to the telecoms, but still, they gave me all the info but couldnt do it.

This morning however I managed to connect theres wahat I've done

1. Deleated all modem conections

2. Done a soft reset

3. Set up a new ISP modem connection

(theres the impotant bit: this time I didnt set up and IP or DSN in advanced tab, I left them blank.)

tryed to connect, and it worked

So try it, may be that will help
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
First off, I deserve very little credit for this. All of the heavy lifting is done by the great CM team. All I did was make a few modifications to their work.

This is a no phone, "Touch" version of CM10.1 stable for the Samsung Captivate, based on my previous work with ICS and GB roms. I have removed the APKs from the ROM that control phone functions and most of the cell signal icons. The dialer is still there, but the phone does not work, INCLUDING 911 CALLS."Secret Codes" work through the dialer.

Install instructions: (If you are here I am sure you know how to search so I will not provide direct links, but I like GooManager)

1.) Install cm-10.1.0-captivatemtd

2.) Install cm-10.1.0-captivatemtd - nophone_v1

3.) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

4.) Install JB GAPPS Package

5.) Reboot

You will get a FC error upon boot, but otherwise everything seems to work. I will update the not working list as I come across issues.

I RECOMMEND USING ODIN ONE-CLICK AND FLASH BACK TO STOCK BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM!

GPS seems to be it. I added the 8NTP fix and will test that out when I can.

[Captivate Android Development] SoullessGinga:
Its to turn the Captivate into a similar device as the iPod touch. Not to be used as a phone but a music player or game player
[Captivate Android Development] mikediaz234:
and what is the advantage of converting a perfectly good phone into a device for music only?
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
For those of us with kids, it allows them to play with their own device without risk of a 911 call!

I use mine as a baby monitor now connected to our IP cameras.

Also battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY improved.

And yes, I know that you can just turn on airplane mode, but 2 year-olds are quite resourceful. Likewise, simply removing the SIM card does not prevent emergency calls.

The thought was for a more elegant solution.
[Captivate Android Development] mikediaz234:
well if that is your thinking ok but honestly I think your modification is worthless. no imprecive one baby monitor costs $ 30 and an MP3 $ 15. so why ruin a good $ 200 dollars phone if with $ 45 dollars if you solve your needs
[Captivate Android Development] SoullessGinga:
There are people that like to reuse what they already have around instead of buying new stuff. If you think your way is better this ROM wasn't made for you no need to call it useless just cause you have no need for it. I give him props for finding a new use for a great phone instead of spending money he didn't have to spend.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
That's a bit harsh dontcha think? Besides, how is it ruined? All you have to do is flash another ROM, which if you are on this site you can pretty much do in your sleep. :good:

This phone has been flashed no fewer than 100 times and probably closer to 200. It has run every version of Android and CM available as well as AOKP, MIUI and my Froyo and ICS Touch Mods. It has been flashed back to stock and loaned to more than 5 friends, returned and reflashed to something else before being loaned out again. This phone has paid for itself over and over, even though it has not been my primary phone since 2010.

Besides, 30$ baby monitors are crap as are the $150 video ones and if you use a subscription service, $15 mp3 players won't solve your needs either (or at least not very well.)
[Captivate Android Development] mjwhirly:
Dude your post is absolutely worthless, if you don't like this guys project then why are you in this thread, this thread is for development talk not complaining about something that you haven't/dont use. I for one have always enjoyed this guy's idea and have used it and also copied it to my other devices, it beats having ny captivate as a $200 paper weight and same can be said about my skyrocket, gs2, gs3, note which would all be useless without this form of a modification.

One request, just like you took CM10.1 and took all the "phone" stuff out (you know what i mean) , can you do it to other roms like captivating, pac, supernexus....? Thanks in advance! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Hakudog:
So does the GPS not work AT ALL, or is it just or is it just spotty without a cell signal? I've been using my Cappy as a speedometer in my beater 4runner and for offroad navigation with Oruxmaps, but everything else about this ROM sounds exactly what I've been looking for since I upgraded to my Note II. I pulled the SIM out and it works pretty well other then the GPS sometimes taking long then expected, but if I download A-GPS data before I leave it locks on fast. I'm hoping that is the only issue with this ROM, and not that it just flat out doesn't work.

Keep up the good work, and don't listen to ignorant people who just wanna put you down for making something a bunch of people will find useful.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:

The GPS problem is with the Captivate, not this Rom or any other Rom.

The Captivate has always had problems with its GPS. Just the way this phone is. :thumbup:

[Captivate Android Development] Hakudog:
Fair enough....thats all I wanted to know. I will say that ROM upgrades have made it 100 times better then it was when stock, but its still sucky compared to my Note II. Even with cell stuff turned off it will only take 10 seconds to lock on most of the time, and rarely over a minute or two.

I'll have to give this a try in the next day or two.

This is a great idea for those of us that have a cappy just collecting dust. the sound from the wolfman dac will put most hundred dollar MP3 players to shame.

I have done somewhat the same thing with my infuse. I have neutron as my player and am using voodoo sound, I work in a loud environment and have it set to still sound great.

My s3 can not do what the cappy or infuse do because of the soc dac that it uses.

OMG I need a rom like this but thats more recent. I need a Jelly Bean iTouch!

Darn at all the hate. I recently acquired a spare from (i727) from a good buddy that didnt need it as it was broken so I fixed it and now I want to turn it into a media player and game player hooked up to my TV. I want to run PLEX and some emulators on it as my PS3 sucks for streaming content. So all the haters, suck it. Some people may have a spare phone to mess around with and these good developers like the OP can allow us to make our wishes come true.

So thumbs up OP. Keep up the great work and please make iTouch roms with newer android builds as they run smoother and better than older android roms.

This ROM is an excellent idea given the build quality, Wolfson audio chip and can easily swap microsd cards without fear of breaking the rear cover.

Except for some Cowon (and expensive Sony) players where else is one going to find in the USA an AMOLED player, with sound and style? Samsung discontinued their line of Android audio players. If one is ever reintroduced I predict it will sell for much more than what a used or New Old Stock Captivate will sell for.
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I do basically the same thing for whatever rom I am using at the time for my 2nd cappy for a media player....Not only is the sound great but you can line out through the usb port for car stereos as well as tv out and otg support. I built a dock for it with 2 usb hubs so I can hook up to a tv and use a mouse, keyboard, an external usb audio jack (just for the volume buttons), not to mention a 500gb external 2.5 drive under the dock for storage. It was just a fun/boredom project at first, but it actually is pretty useful.

[Captivate Android Development] swiftlycreepin:
[MENTION=580495]dfellars77[/MENTION] I think it's starting to stable out, they're at milestone 10 release, theoretically they should be done soon.
[Captivate Android Development] Organized_Chaos:
[MENTION=580495]dfellars77[/MENTION], if you were pretty far away from this back in March, you're probably even further away from it now. However, it never hurts to ask... :D

Can you do the modification to this ROM? [ROM][KK][4.4.4][PORT] CyanAOSP v4.0.0 [FINAL] = FAST & STABLE

If you don't have time to do the modification, maybe you can write up an explanation on how to do it? I was planning on digging into this myself but I don't want to spend weeks or possibly months figuring out what needs to be/can be deleted without making the system unstable. Do you have to modify any scripts to avoid errors while flashing? If so which ones? My original plan was to use Titanium Backup after I installed the ROM to strip out anything related to the phone, cellular data, etc but I would rather not reinvent the wheel if I can avoid it.

Also, is there a reason you left the Dialer in your original ROM? Would it break the ROM if it was removed or did you just like having the option to use "secret codes" from the dialer?

I'm trying to re-purpose my old Captivate for my step son to use as an Music Player/Video Player/eBook Reader. I'm not going to install Google Apps or any other apps that require an internet connection. This will be an offline device only. If this works, it may very well be one of his best Christmases yet.

Thanks in advance,
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Ok, you're on your own for this one as I just do not have the time to work it out. Here are the instructions I provided along time ago. This should still work to some degree.

If you remove the dialer, it crashes the rom. Caveat... I haven't touched Android in a long time so I do not know if this is still relevant. If you can make it work, feel free to distribute as you see fit.

Also, do a search for my threads. There were a couple of interesting conversations on how to remove the signal icon. Again, not sure if it relevant to the current iteration.
