[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
When running at 1.2, it crashed occasioanlly on boot up, about half the time i run a speedtest, and nearly every time I run quadrant, during the 3d tests. Occasionally I would pick the phone up to check if I had any emails and it would simply be dead. Sometimes the power button would boot it up, sometimes I had to pull the battery. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

Now that ive throttled back to 1GHz, things are much more stable unless I really hammer it. Im still a little afraid that the phone will lock up overnight and my alarm wont wake me up. Im kind of just weathering the storm till we get some more overclocking/undervolting options - or lack thereof.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
i dont know if i am the only one having this problem but my phone no longer rings, think somewhere between JH7 and SRE 1.3.1c all my ringtones were deleted, does any have any suggestions for me?
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
Yeah i think its when there are alot of apps running, the cpu freaks out and either reboots or shuts off. In my case, the phone just turned off and when I pushed the power button it went to the ATT screen. So far the phone is A okay right now but im going to keep on eye on it.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Dang, I keep thinking I'm happy with my setup, and you go and screw that up :p
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
very exciting news! I hope bootanimation.zip will also be included :D ?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Making a full rom will make that easier to do, but it has a 3-5 second delay, until I figure that out, it wont make the cut
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Seems that would be the case
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
DG This is probably your best option!!! I was going to ask how the deodexed rom was running, and was going to give it a try later tonight. However, I will most likely stick with what im running now in anticipation of SRE ROM. (Hmm maybe we need a new name.... gearROM ...ROMgears you have to get your name in there some where heh!)

Once ROMgears comes out be on the lookout for a nice 18pack ;) You prefer Dogfish Head or Corporation beers?

ext2 has no journaling and you can loose/corrupt all your data

ext4 has journaling
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
i see i see :o well all is well! i'll continue spamming my f5 key now until I see SRE change to [ROM] or a whole new thread stating so :)
[Captivate Android Development] ColonyDude:
No. dgROM... Say it. It sounds like DigiRom. Digi as in Digital. :D
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
does any one how this could cause your ringtones to dissappear and how to restore them?
[Captivate Android Development] rickgrob:
Couple minor issues

Just installed by doing the following:

one click to JF6

Clear caches

Odin to JH7 (no PIT)

Update.zip to SRE 1.3.1c

run EXT4 lagfix script

Manual reboot

So far so good, but a couple minor observations:

Market Access app is not there? Perhaps by design.

Ad blocking does not appear to be working, had been working in my previous setup (JH2 and very early SRE)

Boot up is much longer than previous (mostly on white ATT screen), but after long boot everything is pretty snappy.

Interestingly, I found I did't have to put in my sim unlock code again for a foreign sim. Does that survive the flash? Or is SRE auoto doing it? Either way looks good.

GPS seems better, but too soon to really tell

And a question:

How do I tell I have unhelpful's kernal and how do I go about using it?

Comments welcome and thanks again to DG for this wonderful work.

[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I like dgROM! DG, you looking to take on Cyanogen? :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
I buy my f5 keys in bulk for such occasions. New Kernel, a new SRE in the works, and Eugene is about to drop another ROM with working GPS too. Everyone go pick up some Gatorade, you'll need the electrolytes for your "pressing finger" today.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
disregard that just found where to change my ringtone, still new to this phone :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
haha!! I LOL'd hard on that one.

in all seriousness though, no need to buy F5 keys, just get the add-on for firefox that refreshes for you:D:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
Is anyone noticing a significantly slower charge rate over USB? I'm assuming this has to do with the kernel being undervolted.

Haven't been home to test via my AC charger...
[Captivate Android Development] finalrequiem:
I got 1.3.1c running with JH7 and lagfix (ext4) running great so far (I totally wiped the phone and started over) except for one thing- Battery is draining like crazy. Like, at this rate, the entire charge in less than 3 hours at standby. I wonder what the problem is... Bad battery?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
So its safe to assume a new SRE is on it's way tonight???
[Captivate Android Development] AndroidFB:
If that is the case I think I will be glued to the monitor until it happens! :D Go SRE!
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
No, its not. From 2 pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
SRE 2.0 apha1 just loaded up on my phone, :drools:
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
isn't this like waving a steak over a pack of hungry wolves?

hehe
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
We want some details!!
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
lol yeah if you're gonna tease us you might as well do it right.

Anything to expect aside from ROM Manager support, the new OC/UV kernel, Vibrant GPS fix...?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Ooh you tease!
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
grr i cant wait for this 2.0 iwant
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Oh settle down...
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i'm happy to hear the multiple options for the uv/oc kernal.....it seems to be the area of most problems, and i have no reason to OC so i would be more than happy without the OC. It would be sweet if the UV worked flawlessly though, i could always go for some better battery life!!
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
All in good humor, DG. Thanks for all your hard work. This is by far the most popular unstickied thread on the Captivate dev forum, so expect to get lots of excitement for this next release. It sounds like it could be the best we're gonna get out of 2.1 on the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
LOL remember from the other day. we are junkies waiting for a fix. we had new sre once every few hours for two days. now you wave a HUGE stash in-front of us. lol we are gunna tweak. LOL details details.......:D
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Damn, haven't really get to enjoy 1.3.1c yet and there's already a new on coming down the pipe. I do have to say, with the4 exception of a slight battery drain, 1.3.1c is working pretty good for me, especially the GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
The other night was pretty crazy.

I wanted to make a joke involving the number of flashes done that night, then compare it to Girls Gone Wild or Mardi Gras....but it sounds much less hilarious now that I'm typing it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
2.0 is a week or more out, enjoy 1.3.1c until then :)
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Google should hire you, Android updates would roll out all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
Im wondering....is there a way to stop the Media card scaning or does it need to happen??? It really slows things down for me. my 16GB card takes forever. while im thinking about it why would my battery be perfect and i flashed a mod that didnt work so i ODIN one clicked back to stock loaded SRE and did a Nandroid restore and now my battery sucks bad i mean i lost 20% in an hour and didnt touch the thing.
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
DG I was just thinking, if you're doing a whole ROM this time (which is awesome) then are you going to make it compatible with ROM manager installer? :) That would be the icing on the cake.... no, that would be the sprinkles on top of the icing.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I think I just found my new Avatar!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its reporting false info

batterystats.bin needs to be deleted

search how on google

It is, that is how I just flashed it to my phone :)

oh man, that is great!!

Google is evil, I would NEVER use a google product!
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
ETA of 2.0?! :D

oopz scratch that. needed to refresh page
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
quick question.

when i run quadrant. after its done and gives me the score, it says Internal Error during benchmark

can someone explain?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
What would happen if I used Odin3 to flash JH7 and put the .tar file in both places for PDA and phone????
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Why would you do that?
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
more like why wouldnt you!?!? baha (sarcasm...)
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
LOL my mind getting the better of me. I was thinking about the app from a while back in thread that was showing some ppl that there current firmware was JH7 but the very next line showed a different firmware i believe it showed JF6. mine did aslo and i was wondering if is was a problem??? and if the was the fix.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] UGotMe:
Hi, does anyone else have a problem with sideloading? It seems like its not installed and gives me message about security.
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
yup a lot of us do. welcome to the forums :D. here is the how to link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738376

Also i know this thread is HUGE but most of your questions have prob already been answered search it first....and ALWAYS check the OP before asking. DG is awesome about keeping it updated with Troubleshooting and new stuff.... again welcome....:D
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
btw method 5, which is the adb only method is the ONLY one that worked for me, took for-freakin-ever for me to get sideloading enabled
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
My 1.3. 1b works fine for sideloading checked the settings.db file and the setting in there shows it enabled
[Captivate Android Development] TheriaultAJ:
I am new to this. (I just traded my Torch in for the Captivate.) The instructions say not to be rooted previous to loading... Do I just drop the file into the phone folder, and do the reboot recovery/install? Or do I need to download drivers, and other files? Thanks in advance. (Maybe someone could message me a step-by-step?) I come from the simple world of Blackberry, where it's pretty straight forward.
[Captivate Android Development] OVCArchion:
Definitely intersted in the stock android lock screen if it comes to fruition. Many beers in your future... well except for the ones I'm drinkin'...
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
I thought I had read that somewhere.. but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the reply. I'm finally getting the hang of this stuff :p
[Captivate Android Development] sujinge9:
I just got my captivate today, and I followed the instructions and succesfully installed superRooter. I'm pretty sure it worked as all ATT apps are now gone and I have gained a few in the process such as SLA4. But trying to run scripts in SLA4 such as sideloading and lagfix resulted in a "SU request" screen that ultimatedly ended up with "Getting root privileges... Permission denied". Did the rooting aspect fail? should I manually root? Thanks.

edit: I also have the SU permission app auto installed to, if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
I think ext2 lash fix works a lot better. In a real world test ext 2 blows ext 4 out of the water.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
EXT 4 is not about being faster. It is about being the safer option. EXT 2 has the better possibility of becoming corrupted. That is what I gather from reading posts of people smarter than myself.
[Captivate Android Development] staySICK:
Used this method when I flashed the JH2 ROM. I haven't had any issues until earlier today when I tried using the Market fix (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758146), what I found is I can't do anything in adb shell, and the rename/move options I was trying with root explorer weren't taking effect.

The strange thing is all other apps that require root have been acting normally, hence why I haven't noticed any issues until I actually tried using adb shell.

To test this out, I even just tried rebooting the phone with the shell, and received the error "Operation not permitted"

Do I need to redo the root? The OP of the market fix suggested I ask here, hopefully I can figure this out so I can have access to the full market again.
[Captivate Android Development] sujinge9:
Ok, I tried to manually root it. It gave me a different SU permission icon, but it only made it worse as I got alerts telling me SU permission has to be closed. So I went back to stock using odin3 and then reinstalled superRooter, but I still have the same problem :(. Please help. Is there some way I can see if I'm rooted or not?

Edit: nvm, I'm retarded... theres a keyboard blocking the way of clicking "allow" :(
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
I just flaked the jh3, super rooter, and the circle clock. Everything works but the one won't send emails with the default gmail app. It just says "sending". Any ideas? If I remove my gmail account I have to reset back to factory settings which will be a pain.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its working for me... try without wifi, then with.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Superuser 2.3.3 added, hopefully will fix some of the SU issues you guys have been having...
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
Well I reflashed stock jh3, tested outging gmail and it worked.

Installed SuperRooter, tested gmail and it worked

Installed Circle Battery, tested gmail and it worked

Then I backedup my apps with Titanium backup and it didn't work again.

So it has something to do with my backed up gmail data I guess..?

Does anyone know how I can manually remove the stock gmail app and then reinstall it with the .apk?
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
NVM, got it working

I got it working by doing this:

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.

Guess I didn't need to reflash and install all of that stuff a second time last night. :rolleyes: oh well, it was good practice. I'm still getting the hang of this stuff! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] TerryK1957:
Is there a way to delete my files since I have astro? Or is my files better?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Titanium backup, you can get it on the market.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Added some info on flashing back to stock
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Does reverting to factory settings in the settings menu give the same effect?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
no, you have to flash with odin
[Captivate Android Development] staySICK:
flashed to base JH2, ran the updated version of this. Had to redo it 3 times because running the lag fix would reboot and greet me with force closes, but the last time it worked wonderfully. First time I made the mistake of running a restore from Titanium before the lag fix.

running restore again now, I can definitely tell a difference already, going super fast. thanks a lot!

Also, encountered no issues applying the market fix this time around.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Does this work with the stock JF6 ROM from AT&T?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
JH2 or 3 only
[Captivate Android Development] ViniD:
I only have a mac and couldnt figure out how to get the captivate to connect with Vmware to undo with odin, so i was like F it and just used this update on my phone that already was rooted and had sideloading unabled. It installed without any problems i guess i got lucky.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its already done :)
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
First welcome. second BB inst simple it can be just as tedious and time consuming. lol i too have a torch and four other BB, two Iphones, and LG ally, and of course my CAPTIVATE. By far the most fun. anyway...the OP has very good instructions and there are several walk throughs in the thread. If your nre to android try to read the whole thread if you can there are a lot of links to software and tools you will need. Happy Flashing..... and BTW make sure you leave your brain mounted long enough for DG to Flash his custom ROM to your internal SD card....the changelog includes the ability to operate on two hours of sleep and Much Much More....:D:D:D:D:D.. No joke though this stuff is addicting. welcome again
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Got to say I digging the battery life so far..12 hours unplugged with my normal usage and I still have 73% left....:eek: I running JH7 with SRE 1.3.1c with the ext4 lag fixed applied...Overclocked to 1.2 and UV to what ever the stock setting were set at...I did have to install setcpu to get the overclocked to take but I've never had any problem with setcpu that some people have....
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
behold the power of undervolting!!
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
I'm telling you, an undervolted battery....;)

after I gave it the tiniest bit of though, I realize how foolish it was to think that in the first place. How the **** would it even work. It wouldn't, that's how
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
dude me too dude! been playing a pokemon rom (shut up best hand held game ever made) for like 7 hours and it only used 75% of the battery,i love this thing <3
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
if sideloading is taking so long to enable....why are you just not using sideloading wonder machine. Could not be any simpler.

BTW, another success story here. Successfully upgraded from JH3 with the older SuperRooter to JH7 and SRE1.3.1c and ext4 lagfix....i was pretty nervous because it seems like a lot of people are having problems. I followed the directions to a T and have read most of this thread along the way. Haven't had a problem yet. I cannot believe how FAST this thing is. Installing apps in the market is instant!

Where can i find out more about SetCPU though?? I'm not really interested in the OC/UV features just yet, i just want to be the most reliable possible at this point and keep it at the stock clock. What needs to be done??

Thanks for all the help!
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
because i dont want to have to rely on an underpowered program to do something that should have been enabled by default. i wasnt going to go though all the trouble getting an OC/UV'd SRE working unlocking my phone and then allow something as basic as sideloading to be disabled (also if sideloading is disabled titanium backup doesnt work ;))
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
this is the qr code for setcpu ;)
[Captivate Android Development] UGotMe:
Why the hell would DG remove it from this version, is it causing any trouble or what?
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
he didnt but it is a pita seems to have a 50/50 chance of working on any particlar phone. it only takes like a min to fix though if you have adb just do this

adb shell
su
chmod 666 /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
exit
exit

adb pull /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db settings.db
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
adb push settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db

adb shell
su
chmod 660 /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
chown system.system /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
reboot
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
would it also not allow me to access system files on the internal sd card??? And i did not know that about titanium backup, so that makes complete sense to need sideloading....because i guess i will too for that reason.

Sorry i'm an android newb, but reading all these forums has really moved me along fast. Thanks for the help, xatrekak.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
no system files are just hidden use adb to to download them from your phone, or use root explorer app to look at them and to edit them.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
I was under the impression that the display used like 80% of the power but maybe the cpu is included under display on the battery use page? Can under-volting really make this much difference?

Edit: stupid xda app posted gibberish
[Captivate Android Development] UGotMe:
Thanks, took me 30 secs.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
i just bought setcpu, i did autodetect and have no idea what to do now but I want battery life like you guys are talking about lol.

what do I need to do inside setcpu to set it up correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
It wasnt removed it just doesnt seem to be playing nicely with some phones. kinda like some cant ocuv...the first time i ran 1.3.1c i had to do it manually. the second time it just worked on its own...
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
but what i'm confused by, is that on my previous set up of jh3 and superrooter, i was able to copy a system file using astro or my files and place it on my sd card. Now i can't do that. Anyways....root explorer did what i needed, i just didn't understand why it was different.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Not sure if I am just an idiot... but I just got home a bit ago and decided I would check out SRE 1.3.1c...

JF6 + SRE 1.3.1c (cache clear): first boot, fine. reboot before doing anything and it burns in a pile of its on self loathing... (aka complete freeze right as phone boots to home screen)

JF6 flash + JH7 flash + SRE 1.3.1c (cache clearing of course): same results.

Any idea?
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
try throwing in a master clear in between JF6 and JH7, and do the cache clear before runing SRE, (i actually did the clear all user data to not take any chances)
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
Format SD card start over.:D happy flashing
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Giving that a try now. I will keep you updated. *crosses fingers*
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Working great! JH7 + SRE 1.3.1c + fightspit battery mod!

First time I did the whole thing w/o my sim card and sideloading and lagfix didn't work.

I tried with sim card in the whole process and now it's working great!

Only thing is that I'm not getting very good battery life... Been playing angry bird for about 15 minutes and I am down to 76% from 100...

How can I check if that oc and uv is working to get battery life like above...?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
without buying setcpu im not sure how you would do this, let me look around

also turn the birghtness on the screen all the way down, it still looks great and makes it last a bajillion times longer
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
!UPDATE!

JF6 flash, formatted SD card, Odin3 Master Clear, flashed JH7, cleared cache, SRE 1.3.1c.

First boot, runs fine.. the manual reboot and freeze again on loading of lock screen/home screen boot up.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
so i deiced to lookat my batter usage and found out this

unplugged for 7 hours

voice calls 61% time-1h4m

display 34% time3h 45m

cell standby 5%

phone idle 2%

i was like wow 3g kills my batter so i went to disable it.

SAMSUNG HAS ****ING REMOVED THE OPTION TO TURN OF 3G. I WANT TO KILL SOMEONE RIGHT NOW

DG any chance of you throwing the abulity in your rom =(

nvm figured it out just a bit complicated, will post a howto in the general aection
