all i did was flash back to stock jh3 using odin, then on a clean jh3 flashed SRE. then, after reboot, opened market, signed in and downloaded titanium. from there i then did a batch restore of all apps with data. which on mine it had a number of 192 or something like that. after it finished restoring, i set up my phone and opened up launcher pro+ set everything up the way i liked it and then was when the phone started freezing the most often, keep in mind that it did freeze before that on touchwiz, just not as often... then installed fightspits circle battery mod ver. c plus evo black bar. it froze randomly from that point on. but today no freezing or anything, maybe a little lag freezing but it always fixes itself now. we will see how it does tonight i guess
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
if you have the menu option in Wireless and networks, open terminal on your phone and enter:

su
/system/bin/wlp2pservice
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Honestly, I didn't have the phone very long before I switched it to JH3, so I can't actually compare. I haven't had any problems with voice at all and I spent my 1st 3 days playing with it online thru wireless almost non-stop and had no data problems. I absolutely LOVE my current setup, but I will keep flashing and playing with new stuff til I find something I like better.

Hope that helps...

Starting from the original AT&T ROM, I do what I always do when changing to a different ROM -

Sideloading does not work - I never have that problem with an i9000 ROM - anyway this ROM could be adapted to a i9000 ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
designgears had it ported to JM6, it worked flawlessly for me
[Captivate Android Development] JagoRacing:
so i tried this and after i reinstalled packages the phone would go to the galaxy s screen and never reboot. i renamed the file. dragged it to the internal sd card and re boot it and nothing worked. i am totally new to this so what did i do wrong? am i supposed to extract the files on the sd card before rebooting???
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
You did it right. If I remember correctly, it does stay on the Galaxy screen for a few minutes when setting up, so I think you just got impatient. Try it again from the start and this time give that screen 5-10 mins..... if it doesn't clear by then, there's a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
sideloading works!!

Not sure exactly how it happened, but apparently sideloading works when I use OPERA MINI...excellent - I am also using JUICE DEFENDER and it does improve my battery performance by 1.75. Still, with the lag-fix and faster processor speed, giving me great LINPACK and QUADRANT scores, the battery does drain, along with using LIVE WALLPAPER, 2X fast than with the normal ROM. I will take that trade-off gladly. AND, the actual lag is nominal, only apparent with APPBRAIN, and initial install of some APKs.

Thanks, designgears!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
ditto, it will rebuild the dalvik cache when you do that... it could a long time to boot if you have lots of apps installed

No problem, glad you like it!

I think the live wallpapers just suck battery no matter what you do...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
^^^^ Seconded.

I retired all my live wallpapers once the initial nuance of having one wore off, they definitely savage your battery life
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'll never get sick of my blue droid 2 eye live wallpaper... I used to love the clean "Nexus" one, but besides those two, I haven't really used a live wallpaper. Fortunately for me, since I don't actually use the phone as much of a phone (mostly texting, web browsing, games here and there) my battery lasts an incredible time. I can get about a day and a half easily, two if I don't use pandora when I'm driving
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I don't care much for the live wallpapers... in my own SRE version just for me, I remove lots of other junk I dont care for :)

Sorry I haven't had anything new, I have been consumed by Halo Reach. Before you ask, yes, my xbox is modded, so is my ps3, Wii, iPhone, psp, and pretty much any other device I own or have owned. :) No, I don't do it to pirate games, I do it to play stuff early, I will still be buying Halo Reach!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Haha no worries. That's how I am with my devices. Haven't got around to using psgroove yet and I haven't looked into jtaging or flashing my new xbox 360 s. But besides those, can't say I've owned a system that I haven't modded in some way or another. I still miss my original xbox with xbmc...

Sent from my Samsung SGH-i987
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Wow, that was outta no where :P

I retired my xbox w/xbmc about two years ago, right around the time they ported it to linux/pc/mac, xbmc is now the core of my media center computer.

The xbox360s has been hacked, just no release yet :( no jtag for it either. I will wait for the hack to be released before I pick one up.

BTW, you can compile psgroove for our phones and mod your ps3 with it... working on that right now. Might have a release in a few days :P

edit--

think I will post a bounty to get the ball rolling on this one :)
[Captivate Android Development] KJPDX:
No that I've had my current setup running for a week, I can say that its the best setup yet.

I chose to install the No OC version of SRE due to battery performance issues. In my opinion it doesn't make enough difference to justify the battery drain.

The phone is more stable and performs twice that of stock. MobileAP works flawlessly, I dont have any data issues. I wont say GPS works great but it is slightly better than stock.

I definetly am satisfied enough to wait for Froyo or a Vanilla version of SRE.

Anyways i highly recommend this setup and I offer much thanks to designgear.
[Captivate Android Development] breakformula:
I used the sre and my phone rebooted and it said it installed and all. After the long Galaxy S screen, it just turns black. and has been for around the last 4 or so minutes. help?
[Captivate Android Development] breakformula:
Nevermind. Fixed the issue. It works perfectly now.. I'm still only showing 2075 on quadrant though... Any suggestions? Others are getting like 2500
[Captivate Android Development] glio1337:
Ignore Quadrant. It's next to useless as a measure of speed in regards to the lag fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Does the SRE GPS work well for everyone? I mean does it work at least as well as stock? I've tried the Vibrant Vanilla ROM and it doesn't work with GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
SRE 1.2.1a has the GPS at least as well as the stock ROM. Mine is the OC version, and I'm not running any lagfix. I flashed JH3 before adding SRE 1.2.1a.

This mod is very nice and stable for me. Until Samsung fixes the GPS, I'm probably going to stay on SRE.
[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
Has anyone been able to figure out if there's a way to force Edge? I'm using JH3 with SRE 1.2.1a standard and everything I've tried is either grayed out or doesn't work.

I searched this thread and saw a few people mentioning it and talked about a settings.apk.

At home, my signal keeps switching between 3G and Edge and I would prefer to just force Edge while here.

I was able to do it on stock.
[Captivate Android Development] jbl7979:
Anybody else have issues with this rom when trying to use mass storage mode on a non-computer? Using stock rom, I can hook the phone up to my car via USB, then mount the ext. SD card, and the phone recognizes it as a USB player.

Now with this installed, my car will no longer recognize the external SD card, and will actually unmount the SD card as soon as the car tries to read from it.

Any ideas/suggestions?

EDIT: N/m, it was as simple as checking off USB Tether in MobileAP.
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
I updated to JH3 and SRE this weekend and now my adb shell is showing garbage characters when I connect to my phone.

When I connect to the emulator everything is fine, no garbage characters.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Tim
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
this "garbage" is actually color coding designed for terminals that can parse that information (like a linux shell). they're supposed to be there to tell you what type of files they are. if you were using a real terminal (instead of the windows command prompt) it would look much cleaner
[Captivate Android Development] DoritosMan:
Hey

Thanks for the great software!

I will defiantly donate when I get some $$$

And is there a way to remove the overclock with out having to flash to stock then the nonoverclocked version of this?
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
Thanks for the info, command prompt is the only thing I can use at the moment. I have Ubuntu installed on VirtualBox but there is a bug in vbox that throws an error when trying to capture a usb port.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I know its not needed but can we get a who donated what section going :confused: Seems to light fires under peeps for donations :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
My battery started draining a lot faster since I installed SRE 1.2.1a and it turned out that SRE 1.2.1a is using the Android defaults for the wifi_idle_ms (time to turn off wifi on display off). RyanZA found a work around:

[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
Through tests, leaving wifi on while connected drains A LOT less than 3g. This seems reversed
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
My account is limited at the moment, should cleared in couple hours. Had to change my address since I moved last week and they needed all new docs.

instead of using 'ls', use 'dir', made it just for you windows people :) it can take the same switches as 'ls'

I will look into that, thanks for the info!!

edit---

adding this in right now!!
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
there seams to be a problem with the shell interface. The users and groups aren't displaying correctly under windows. also when I try the command "chown system.system ......" I get an error saying unknown user/group systemm.system.

this screen is right after flashing to JH3

this screen is right after applying SRE
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Just flashed

I just flashed this, ext4 lag fix, and fight's circle battery mod + evo black bar. AMAZING WORK!!!!!! Runs like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its just how busybox does it...

use dir

glad ya like it :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The idea is that when the phone's display is off, network connectivity doesn't need to stay on except for the times when the phone needs to sync etc. From what I am seeing, keeping wifi on is hurting battery usage and something changed so that wifi was staying on longer since I installed SRE. The fix from RyanZA seems to have helped me - and I am watching logcat right now to see what really happens underneath with data connection state. It could be because I am in a spot where I have at least 20 wifi networks near me with varying strengths and so while wifi is on, it also scans for networks and that could be draining battery too and having it turn off sooner (it always turns off if you have it set to turn off on display off) than the default time is better for me.

Droid Explorer crash?

Has anyone else had the issue with this update causing Droid Explorer to crash?

Quite a few pages back someone else had this issue and I didnt see where it was resolved.

I even uninstalled and reinstalled Droid Explorer. Its my program of choice for sideloading apps and its a bummer because I did a stock reinstall before updating to this.

Has anyone figured it out? I guess I could flash back to stock, reinstall everything, and then update back to SRE. but that seems like a pain if its something simple.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
just drop the apk's on the sdcard and install them with myfiles
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
when I used 'dir' I got the same results. It doesn't look like busybox is causing the issues. I flashed to stock jh3, performed the basic root and installed busybox from the market. when I used adb shell everything worked perfectly. It looks like these shell issues might be from the custom kernel or something else in the SRE update.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I just got an exchange on my 2nd Captivate today, my media player was crashing and I called AT&T about it and they told me to bring it in for exchange. I have the update.zip in the root of the phone and for the life of me I can't get it to boot into recovery. Any suggestions, the combo isn't working it just keeps looping the AT&T splash screen.
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Still freezing! Help!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Hi sorry if this is a totally noob q. I just flashed this one from stock and I'm not seeing the mobile ap and also it did not get rid of the feeds and updates samsung widget. I thought maybe i did something wrong so i went back to stock again and dled then did it again. same thing happened and no wifi tethering. and also... gps has never worked on my phone... never been able to determine my location. is this gps tweak supposed to fix that? because i'm still not being able to use gps.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
are you using this with a stock JF6/JH2/JH3 ROM? just to make certain, your hardware is the Samsung i897? Wireless tethering is under "Settings" --> "Wireless and network" --> "Mobile AP Settings". GPS has never been an issue with this ROM, so if yours is faulty, check to make sure it works with a stock ROM first.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Thank you. I'm jf6 on samsung captivate i897. like when i opened it out of the box the gps didn't work. I've never been able to get turn by turn navigation or anything that required gps use. I was under the impression that samsung was supposed to be releasing an update to fix the gps problem? Is it just mine and do i need to take it in and get it replaced? sry... I really know nothing about computer stuff... o and how do i check if mine is overclocked or not?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
d/l quickboot from the market
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Can't use without root access. I can't get into recovery mode to reistall packages to get rooted.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
sorry, forgot about that!
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
i seem to be having a problem with this. i installed the best version fine after flashing back to JH3 then i applied the ext4 lagfix. after that i installed titanium backup through sideloading off my computer and restored all of my apps. that all went fine but i cant install any apps from the market and google talk wont open. it just hangs on "starting download" and google talk immediately closes when i try to open it.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You have a defective unit...The GPS should work if it doesn't then take it back and get a replacement..:)
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Restore to stock and do it again...This MOD works great if you do it right.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Is there any other method to get phone into recovery mode? I've been playing with the button combo for 2 hrs and it won't go into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Download the Android SDK and use ADB...It's really easy and is great for getting into recovery or download mode...
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
use the adb tools from the android sdk

-- recovery mode

adb reboot recovery

-- download mode

adb reboot download
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
I thought the GPS issue was a widespread issue and not defective hardware... but a software issue?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No the GPS issues are with it's accuracy..It works but some people complain about the accuracy, I've never had any problem with mine when I use it. Yours is defective if it won't turn on at all...
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
So what you are telling me is that after messing around with my phone getting everything installed just right... I am going to have to odin3 it and take it back! SWEET! LOL. Anyways, better to know now than in a few months... I hope they will still honor it.

Just make sure you return it stock and format the internal sd to erase everything that is left over. They will give you a new one...

I've read the auto task killer isn't needed with our phones and with the SRE flash.

I'm running an earlier version of SRE (flashed with Odin) and was wondering if there was another apparently that would help with battery life? I swore I read about one once but I can't remember now what it was called.

Can anyone help?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Some people use Juice Defender...Search for it in the Market. They say it helps with battery life...
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Thanks very much, I got into recovery mode, doing Nandroid back up right now, next stop Ext4 lagfix by Tayatuma.

Sidenote, my current phone has a manufacter date of Aug 5 and the GPS worked and locked out of the box. I tested it on my drive home and it was within 10 meters. AT&T store won't admit to any problems with the Captivate but they swapped it for a new one no questions asked. I returned it because of the media player freezing. They also did it as a return and repurchase so I have another 30 day window on the new phone. I'm hoping this one is a keeper. I am getting tired of applying protective skins, today I paid someone else to do it. I am also tired of having to reset LauncherPro.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
For me if i turn on both use wireless networks and use gps satellites and try to use something like navigation, it uses the network but it never finds sattelite and keeps searching for gps. And when i disable use wireless networks and just leave on use gps sat, doesn't work at all... just keeps searching and searching w/o sucess.

is that just me? I thought it was like a common gps problem..
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
is there any way to enable custom fonts on this with tayutamas ext4 lag fix?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You probably want to go to his thread and ask that :D

That issue is related directly to the lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
Pretty sick quadrant score on my captivate after installing this + lag fix. Check it.
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
Sorry, just noticed that picture sucks. It rated at 2086. OC'd to 1.2 plus lag fix provided. My father's incredible is finally beat!
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Update! So my GPS isn't messed up and this rom cleared up the GPS not locking on. Also the quadrant score is amazing, however I don't buy into quadrant too much. Everyday usage tells me more and so far this is amazing.

Currently running: SRE, ext4 lag fix, fights circle battery w/ evolution black bar. Looks and runs amazing.

Can anyone tell me though if I really don't need an app killer on this?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I've gotten up t 2600+ with Ext2 LagFix But Quadrant scores aren't real world results either. i'm looking forward to see if this fix will make my phone snappier.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Glad to here...And no you do not need a task manager with Android, I've never used one yet and have had no problems..
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's always a good idea to have a task killer for ERRANT programs. it is not a good idea to regularly kill many/all your running programs with a task killer
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
myfiles works, thanks.

Droid Explorer still crashes, maybe I will revert back to stock again to verify its this ROM doing it. I did use Droid Explorer to install this SRE ROM update so I know it was working up until I installed this.
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
thanks designgears for all your help... not! ive made several post about my phone freezing up after using this sre. and no one could seem to tell me what the problem was got to tell ya, mad props for a great mod and apparently i was the only one having issues with it. but got to the point where i had to get rid of it:( so i odin'd back to stock and now all my apps are missing in the market. so i gotta start completely over again as if the phone was brand new out the box. i know i did all this on my own free will, but it still pisses me off, now i gotta download every app all over again! there goes the next two days.... thanks for all your help :mad:

Can someone help an Android noob out. (I've done WinMobile HTC phones, but this is my first Android)

My phone is totally stock when it comes to software and I don't care if I lose my contacts, 3 apps I've installed or the music I just transferred over.

The first post talks about doing a nandroid backup (ClockworkMid Recovery?) then backing up the apps (Titanuim) before running this tool. Both appear to require root access., are these necessary since I'm completely stock?

If not, I suppose it is really as simple as putting the file in the sd\ folder and rebooting while holding down the volume and power button, then releasing the power then volume on the Galaxy S screen?

Then once installed what do I need to do or install?

I'm not used to being completely clueless when it comes to this stuff, but I've been reading for a few hours now and don't feel any more confident about it than when I started.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
If you are mostly stock, just drop it on the sdcard, name it update.zip, enter recovery mode, reinstall packages and you will be all set :D
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Oh i have titanium backups and NANDROID. Im not one of those guys that just does **** without reading, If you read my previous posts it would explain pretty much all of it in there. Its funny how people are so quick to give their input when you write a post that they might not agree with, but when you are simply asking questions about **** before something messes up nobody wants to say a word. And just fyi, i can probably fix this mess with a few tries using nand and titanium but the problem is that it would just be easier to start from scratch rather than just keep flashing and flashing and flashing. Basically i would just appreciate it if people would step off their high horse every once in a while and help out a little bit more. The problem is that there are so many completely clueless noobs that just got a fancy new phone and dont know what to do with it, or how to use it, making stupid post without reading. Which screws the guys like me who actually have a pretty good grasp on what they are doing, but might have a question here and there. But the devs and all the pros are so wrapped up replying to stupid ass questions that the guys like me get looked over. So next time you see some dumbass post, instead of replying to it and putting someone down for it being in the wrong section or being a stupid question etc.. dont waist your breath on them, just find another legitimate question and answer it instead. That would be much appreciated...
