heh, ya, that lagfix can cause a mess sometimes, best thing to do is just flash stock, do SRE, then do the lagfix, then install everything else.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
you use the odin3 to the flash dont you?

sorry for the question just got the phone yesterday and learning quickly =))

if that IS what you do to flash it i did that.

and my phone was fine untill i installed 1.2.3 then it came back. flashing and reinstalling 1.2.3 again will let know how it goes
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
update:

trying to use odin3 got this

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

been at this screen for 15 min now or so
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Make sure odin is open before you put your phone in download mode...
[Captivate Android Development] magistrateee:
Is there somewhere to get those Epic wallpapers that were removed?

I think Market Access wasn't included but its easy to download.

There is an Ad Blocking w/hosts file so I don't need to download something like AdFree right? Just want to make sure if it works the same way.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
its, usally gets hung up at file analysis if you dont, but tried it like 6 more times and just kinda ignored the big all caps warning it eventually worked :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
Excellent, thanks a lot for the answers, I really needed that!

I made you a small donation as a thanks :)

Finally I can start using my Captivate lol, downloading JH3 right now, my internet is super slow, 1hr left!

Just one last question and I'll stop bugging lol, do I NEED to use Odin? I hate booting into Windows, can't I just flash JF6/JH3 with recovery?

Edit: Ext2 or 4? What do you recommend? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
That was actually fascinate wallpapers, just google for them, there is a nicely packaged update.zip somewhere.. you dont need market access, it just unhides the tether apps, but we have MobileAP built in, so its obsolete now. ad blocking is baked in :)

lol, ya, sometimes its a pain...

ya, you have to boot windows, no other way right now...

and thanks for the donation sir!!
[Captivate Android Development] alvintran12:
Ext4.

Once I updated with this package, my market app is gone. How do I get the market app back?
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
designgears you are a god send, enjo your beer good sir, ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
its not needed with this package it automatically unlocks the market, the only apps that are not shown are ad-hoc apps which is a good thing
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Umm, thats an issues with the lagfix, start from stock again... thats all I can tell ya. Might want to check out the lagfix thread.

Thank you sir! Will do :D

market app is totally gone, thats a lagfix gone wrong :P

----

OFF TO BED, enjoy 1.2.3 guys!
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
alright after getting though the mess i think i figured out what the problem is. after i flash with odin3 and hook my phone back up to my comp to look at the files i see that all the old folder are still there like clockwork mod and sl4a and they still have data in them, msot everything else is gone and it looks and feels compltely stock but when i load 1.2.3 i get my earlier problem of all those dumb crashing messages.

i think i need to install a compltely fresh kernal not just flash the ROM. could you point me in the right directions to do that?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
This is about the best I can do...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

normally booted up, run master clear... but make sure to grab anything you want to keep from your sdcard, then boot into download mode with odin open...

download the one-click for jf6, then do jh3 from the link at the bottom of that thread.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
alright thank you much sir, now get some sleep! its much deserved!
[Captivate Android Development] magistrateee:
Thanks. :D

It actually had some Epic wallpapers in them like that beach one which I really want =p. I found the fascinate ones but can't find the Epic ones. If you still have them can you direct them my way or where you got them thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Ok installed 1.2.3 with jh3 and working awesome so far. Question is where can I get the market unlock program that was packaged with the last sre roms.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Any chance someone can post a line to 1.2.2a so I can have it. I seem to have misplaced the original zip and not sure what I have on my phone. Trying to keep some order on my comp.

***** NVM Found it on my phone had a copy there ******
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Version 1.2.3 - always results in a force close of SL4A when running the script. I will try to flash Tayatuma's zip.

IMO, best to leave the lag fix out and direct people to the place to get it.

Otherwise... AMAZING job. Best Captivate flash out there. ;)

Edit: No good. Flashing Tayatuma's zip didn't work. SL4A still force closes when trying to install EXT2. This may not be your problem DG... but ext2 worked perfectly when it wasn't integrated in 1.2.2a. Just reporting the bug.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
I installed the SL4A ext 2 lag fix right after installing 1.2.3 with no force close. So far runs awesome. I just want to know where to get the market unlock app.
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Did a full delete of ALL data on the phone including my Titanium backups and everything. Now SL4A runs the lagfix script like a champ.
[Captivate Android Development] magnumburst:
ext2 confusion

this isnt about any crash with the lag fix, but ive been up far too long, and been fighting with my captivate all night. this is my first android phone, so excuse any ignorance as well.

my question is in regards to unhelpfuls kernel thats in this package. it says on his thread linked in the first post that it has support for ext2/3/4 files systems. does this mean that i can format my external 16GB microSD card to be, for example, completely ext2 formatted with GParted? ive looked everywhere i can think of to find out if there is support for file systems other than FAT/32 for the microSD, and only found, "well it should work, its linux" at best. sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but you guys seem helpful and my head is about to explode over this.

i will try to be helpful and say that with JF6 and SRE v1.2.3, my ext2 lag fix didnt crash. it installed and rebooted my phone without any issues. the first time i flashed to it, it did delete my market app mysteriously, but a flash back to JF6 then to v1.2.3 fixed everything.
[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
Do you know in 1.2.3, can we force EDGE only yet? That's the only thing I didn't like about SRE. At home my 3G coverage sucks and my battery would drain REALLY fast.
[Captivate Android Development] Main Target:
SL4A FCs every time I try to run the ext4 lagfix.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
This worked for me. Plug in your phone, mount it. Backup all the files on your phone's storage to your computer. Then delete them off of the phone storage.

Flash a fresh, full JH3. Flash SRE 1.2.3. On first boot, run Ext2 lag fix. When done with that... copy over necessary files that you deleted previously. For me it was my pictures (DCIM folder) and my Titanium Backup folder. I copied those over and everything is working smoothly ;)
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Was data logging not disabled properly in 1.2.2a? I've been very happy with that one so far.
[Captivate Android Development] Main Target:
Ill give it a shot. Not much to back up since ive wiped my phone like 6 times in the past 12 hours lol
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Every time I submit a reply in xda app I get a force close , is this normal or is there a way to fix this. So far that's the only force close I get with 1.2.3.
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
Here is my issue, my phone is constantly freezing/locking (not lagging, actually locking up). It is doing it mostly on coming back from "screen off" state. I hit my power button and its non-responsive, so I press it again and it boots back up (AT&T screen).

I thought it was the OC Kernel so I flashed the non-OC. Then I thought it was the firmwares, so I flashed to latest/greatest- then to non-OC. It is staying up slightly longer, but during normal use it dies after like 10 minutes especially when it is in my pocket.

I just booted into recovery and cleared my dalvik, I will see if that effects any thing. Any suggestions? I ran a logcat but it spits so much stuff out its ridiculous to copy/paste. Is there a pause trigger for logcat? I wish someone could help, the stock rom doesnt do this. I really dont want to go back to stock and wait for another rom, I like SRE :(

One more peice of info- this is my second captivate. This one too doesnt do the 2 vol usb download mode. I have to boot into recovery via terminal on phone or through ADB. My other phone ran fine with SRE.. this one is being a hooker.

HAH just typing this reply, the quick 5 minutes, it hung and rebooted itself. >frustrating<
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no it was not, in fact, it was also not being disabled in releases after version 1.1, so anyone still running 1.2.1-1.2.2a will either need to update or configure it manually. I stole this from somewhere on the forums, and I'd give credit if I had written down the name, but here are the instructions for anyone who doesn't want to upgrade:
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Thanks, much!! Can't wait to play!!!

WOOHOO!!!

I've ALWAYS had that problem..... every firmware, mod, and rom.... when I post, it fc's

Anyway, just re-d/l-ed (tried using last nite's version and lost the market and appbrain). THEN I read the updates since I fell asleep..... So now I backed up everything I want to save (I think) to my ext sd card and am about to master clear and then try again.....
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
yep, sure enough it was logging. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Thanks for the amazing sustained work DG.

I see that in v1.2.3 the lagfix is built in, so does it get automatically installed when running update.zip? Can you please post a version without it? I would really appreciate!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
The script is built in, but it is not applied unless you run the script.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
So far so good, DG...
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
Well i removed Rom manager and it hasn't rebooted since. Coincidence? Probably. I did see the Rom manager process lurking in my active tasks though, well him and market access.. I killed both and so far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
2300 on quadrant score with OC and ext2 lag fix!!! This is the stuff!!! Thanks a lot DG!!! Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
yes you are still on stock, and when 2.2 comes out it will probably just remove everything you have done to your phone thus far (as far mods go) and if your still not sure about it, just titanium backup all your apps, and when 2.2 comes out, use odin to flash back to complete stock, titanium restore, then do the update. i think that'll work for ya.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
2400 on quadrant with best version and lag fix ext2. I love you
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
for the lag fix ext2 or ext4? what works great with sre?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Ok, debugging on, plugged in usb, added in odin. Clicked master clear, and it says master clear started for the last 4 minutes and my phone looks like its doing nothing. When I pug in usb, do i need to pull down notification bar and change the usb there too, or just plug in and go? I have no problem with odin 3.1 to install fw, but this 1click version and master clear is killing me!!

nvm, got it..... dont forget to mount =)

Then, after plugging in usb I mounted, then clicked master clear. For the 1st time, not only did "master clear started" text appear in the window, but the bar above the yellow COM indicator finally did stuff..... said master clear, etc.... then it went all the way thru. It rebooted.

Everything is still there in storage!!! WTF?!?!?!?

I just wanna install sre123 and this is beginning to fry my brain!!! Can I just manually delete stuff from my storage? Was considering using factory reset in settings....
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
You do not mount. Fyi odin wipes from debug.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If I don't mount, the text at the bottom still appears, saying master clear started, but the bar above the yellow COM indicator does nothing and the program never finishes. And I DO have debugging on. Then I pull down notification bar and it has 2 things:

1-USB debugging connected with a red triangle. I do NOT click to disable

and

2-usb connected. select to copy files to/from your computer.

If you press the 2nd one, the MOUNT choice comes up, and as I said, if I dont mount, it dont work. Will try again now tho.....
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Did it again without mounting. Worked, thanks. Doing JH3, then SRE.... will keep informed....
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
Finally got everything up and running, thanks a lot designergears!!!

BTW, does anybody know how to remove the damn AT&T boot animation?
[Captivate Android Development] failboats:
JF6 / stock

JF6, newly purchased, rooted, and the 1.2.3 upgrade failed:

Rebooted, ran the update.zip, etc. When the phone was back up and running, I logged in. No marketplace app. The root app was gone as well. Side-loaded the root app, and did a restore of the market app. I was unable to install anything from the market app, but luckily I was able to restore once I side-loaded the root app.

Any ideas? I browsed through the forum, and I see similar posts, but no solutions. I tried multiple times with the same result. I'd love to run this. =)
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
Everytime i play NOVA or any other high end gameloft game i could not get through 1 level without it freezing on me :( could it be unhelpfuls OC kernel? or even the OC to the GPU?
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
okay so i did this to the t, right when i ran titanium restore all apps with data minus a couple apps like market acess etc. my phone froze up during the restore, so i did the three button reboot, vol up+ vol down+ power button and now im on an endless loop of the galaxy s boot logo until it finally just turns off completely. whats the deal, this is my second attempt at this now and no luck, ive done everything including turning on usb debugging and dl'ing the latest version of busy box thru titanium. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
this was happening to me with 1.2.2 and 1.2.2a it is becoming a more common issue it seems. if you read a few pages back there are some "fixes" for this, but i just found dl'ing the no OC version worked better for me. i dont think there is a no OC version for 1.2.3 yet though.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Thanks! this is great. Only problem I have is that it's not blocking any ads. ad block was working great on 1.2.1.a but i upgraded to 1.2.2a and non of the ads were blocked. same on 1.2.3. Any way to get rid of the ads? Thanks.

Also, I'm wondering if anyone else is having their battery drained super fast... I am on 1.2.3 and I charged to full and in less than 1 hour I'm down to 78% and I didn't use it the entire hour...
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
i couldnt find any fixes a few pages back but ill take your word that it might be the OC. ill just try to flash the stock captivate kernel with odin and see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Yep, gameloft games freeze on me after a while. Not sure if it's the CPU or GPU overclock. I personally wish there was a no GPU overclock version that kept the CPU overclock if that is indeed what's causing it. I just set the max clock to 1 GHz with SetCPU when I want to play a game, but it does get annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Some people are of the belief that the newer ones are coming with the button combinations disabled. The same seems true of the i9000 and bell vibrant models as well.

Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
I called samsung, its a bad run of them. I am actually having to send mine back RMA to them for a reflash of thier 2e recovery firmware. I spoke with a couple "level 3" techs this morning and they reassured me the button combos haven't changed. There is a thread on here that is dedicated to this problem..

If you want to get into recovery mode, you will need to download the samsung drivers and ADB to get it to go. BE VERY CAREFUL THOUGH as if you mess up theres no fix for it. I am planning on trying to go to AT&T corp and complain/swap, then test it on the spot before I RMA mine back as it will be gone for a week.

edit for thread-

yea try running terminal or command prompt from your computer. make sure you have all the drivers too. just adb devices to make sure its recognized from your computer, then adb shell then adb reboot download or reboot recovery

Has anyone else had bad lag/freeze issues? I am going to start all over again, but I wondered if I was the only one......

$ abd reboot download

Not in su or shell. you just type from command prompt

adb reboot download

But I have only got odin to work by

Phone off battery pulled, sd and sim out. Replace battery keep phone off.

Open odin. Hold vol up + vol down. While holding, plug in to usb.

Download should click odin should show com of the phone.

I'm headed to Corp tonight to find out for sure or not. I am going to test yet another phone tonight. Do this for me- go to the phone keypad, dial *#*#197328640#*#* from there it will pull the service menu, go to Version Info, SW Version, READ ALL SW VERSION, and post the info. Mine is as follows:

mine works fine with the 3 buttons to download and/or recovery
[Captivate Android Development] failboats:
Just wanted to report back. I had rooted the phone and made a couple customizations (different wallpaper, email configuration, etc.). When it says stock, it means STOCK. I did the one-click Odin deal (with my captivate I had to power off, remote battery / SIM / SD, add battery, hold both volume buttons, plug in USB with Odin RUNNING -- note I tried the other two ways, and SUCCESSFULLY got it to the download mode with adb, however there was no progress bar and no progress after 10 minutes), master clean after that just for good measure ;), and it worked like a champ.

It's just finishing up the ext4 conversion now.

Thanks again for all your work on this!
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
Tried out the Hybrid ROM and i really really like it, but i cant for the life of me figure out what is draining my battery in 6-7 hours.

ill have display or phone calls as my main battery killer @ ~75% with 5% left on the battery, after a full charge.

well that was until today while i was working, i noticed that the old wireless tethering service was still running on my phone, even though i hadnt reinstalled it (Captivate) popped up as an ad-hoc network.

well im going back to stock, and im going to flash 1.2.3 (before 1.2.3a comes out)

[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
ok i just flashed the stock captivate kernel over SRE and it fixed the gameloft games freezing problems, i didnt feel like messing with setcpu. i never really noticed a difference between OC 1.2 and stock 1 GHz anyways. SRE with lag fix ext4 already makes my phone a screamer
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I had lag issues on 1.2.2a. I haven't tried this one yet. Waiting for the non overclock version. I'm not sure if it's up yet or not. haven't looked.

ya, I was waiting because I found this info last night and knew I would be updating today :P

I will also be modding the lagfix to NOT use playlogos to avoid issues... anything still using that for anything other then playing the logo should be smacked!!

Ok when are you going to stop lol. This rom is awesome tossed you a donation already.

I am going to wait till 1.2.3a comes out.

When 2.2 comes out will you also hack that? If so then I will wait till you do that to upgrade.

Couple quick questions, I'm sure this has been answered and I tried searching for it so please don't hate :)

1: Does this fix/affect the GPS problems?

2: I have rooted the phone, enabled sideloading etc. Still on the standard rom though, do I just need to unroot or do I need to completely nuke the phone with Odin?

Thanks!

Just wanted to say that I was on JF6. I downloaded Odin one-click, did the 'master erase,' rebooted, booted into dl mode, ran 'start' from within odin, rebooted, flashed the original zip from this thread, and am now rocking out!

I was a bit cautious coming over from my g1, despite having rooted 4 different phone models, and am happy to see that the process wasnt nearly as dangerous as I had expected.

Also, fyi, I DID check to make sure that holding vol up and vol down, and plugging in usb to make sure DL mode worked. It did.

Thanks a lot man!
