That worked perfectly for Beta 6, straight from JH7 wth SRE 1.3.1c. I tried flashing from Beta 6 to Beta 7, and that didnt work, so it was easy enough just to just flash JF6, then JH7 with SRE 1.3.1c, and finally Beta 7.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
dont bother flashing to JH7 it is unnecessary. i went stright from JF6 via odin one click

no problem
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
NOW he tells us :p

just as everything finished up completly from stock here. Oh well seems to be rockin here on JH7 beta7 and considering i like the sound of this i think i might be done for the night. the old issue withmy headphone jack seems to be resolved out of nowhere because of it too. and if GPS still works like it did before im really pondering just sitting here waiting for froyo at this point. I mean this is ROCKS DG! good work as always!:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Well, say I wanted to do a Master Clear after flashing to stock via Odin One click. Then I could just go Beta7, and then copy my Titanium Backups over after, and restore? It's the anal-retentive part of me that likes to be fresh and new when testing things out...heh
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
master clear is gross, then you have to worry about swapping your CWM backups to a safe location. you could but i did these steps no problem

SRE 2.b6 > odin one-click to JF6 > SRE 1.3.1c (for ROM MNGR and Tibu) > beta7

once i find my headphones that dont have a mic i will test them
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
OK, but even if I don't do mater clear, can't I still just do:

Odin One click to stock

Get ClockworkROM

Install Beta 7 via ClockworkROM

Seems you have a few unneeded steps...
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
lol i have the same number of steps you do, i just use the old sre to get rom manager easily
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Beta 7 link is pulled anyone got it? Also my headphones work just fine no issues there.

So with all said. I had jh3 with sre 1.3.1b and just flashed this over that restored my titbu setup my google stuff and off it went.

When doing titbu do I just want to do apps or apps+data do I even want to do anything related to system data. I keep having to reinput my google information is there a way to backup that information up as well or does that fall under system data and that could bork some stuff
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
in tibu look for the green system app that says accounts. should restore all that.

and beta 7 hasnt been pulled. go click on it started downing again for me fine
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Actually, I didn't need to get ClockworkROM, since I already had the Clockwork Recovery there.

So I did:

Odin One Click

Beta7 via Clockwork Recovery

It's booting for the first time now...just talked to me...then I'm gonna reboot it again, and see what the dealio is...;)

EDIT: Well...I heard the talking...saw the AT&T logo...saw the Galaxy S logo, and now my phone is black...should I give it a few minutes or pull the battery and restart it?

EDIT2: pressed the power button and the softkeys lit up...but nothing else yet...hrm...

EDIT3:

I got it...;)
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
I just clicked the link in the b6 post and it fails is there a b7 post on here. If so about what page is it on lol.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
yeah it talks, then freezes, (i had to pull that battery) boot it up, then reboot it AGAIN. the second reboot after first full boot runs your scripts.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
beta 7
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Thanks lol I just replaced the 6 with a 7 and it worked. Thanks for posting it though. Will flash this when I get back tonight.

So tibu now then flash to jf6 with one click odin install rom manager flash to b7. Do we have to do any master clear or anything like that?

As I said I flashed over a jh3 sre 1.3.1b and all worked for me. I just might go back to that and flash b7 over that. Might be the safe way to keep all my stuff. Do a Titbu now grab some green stuff to keep google accounts and off I go.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
no master clear is need.

if you DON"T flash to 1.3.1b you will have to install rom manger and root your phone(this is how you install the new SRE)
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Yeah will just go back to the nandroid I did before doing b6 and then do b7 that way. Seems the simplest and easiest way to do it. As I kept everything pic vids headphones all that goodies that people lost.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
that wont work because of technical difficulties with the kernel.

You have to flash with an odin before hand
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
DG, you are a great developer! Running great for me, tho my Quadrant score went down to 1669 from 2022, tho I have read that the EXT4 lagfix (which I had before) makes the Quadrant scores bloated, so I guess that is ok.

Other than that, no long AT&T boot screen, overall very quick once it boots up, and no issues with headphones for me. I will keep playing with it, and be sure to report any bug I come across.
[Captivate Android Development] glio1337:
I can't wait for the day when people will get the message that Quadrant is a

terrible

benchmark and means next to

nothing

to a phone user.
[Captivate Android Development] xatrekak:
it doesnt mean nothing, quadrant is an excellent tool(post lagfix) to show the potential of a phone. froyo proves this.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Good...I feel better now...;)

EDIT: Actually, that was a quick 'waiting in line at the grocery store' post. I know that 'benchmarks' and stuff mean diddly in reality. IMO, as long as one is happy with the speed and performance of one's phone, that is all that matters.

The GPS on this thing works great now. I used it yesterday, when I walked to the store, and it was way more fast and accurate today. That's a real world test I can rely on.

Truly one of the best updates for my phone...so far...an overclock would be nice, but I can live with 1Ghz.
[Captivate Android Development] ColonyDude:
Headphone jack works now.

JF6 -> SRE2b7

Restoring from TB and will report if I see any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Installing B7 now....

[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Quick question, hoping someone can help.

I'm running JH3 and SRE 1.3.1c and my GPS is totally broke. When I load up Google Nav it just stays on searching for GPS. It's actually been like this since I got the phone.

Is it normal to not even get a lock outdoors? Any tweaks I can try short of waiting for SRE 2.0?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Well I'm on b7 after b6 f'd up my messaging and gallery stuff, one question, last night on b6 gps worked flawlessly, its never worked like that before. Now on b7 its stuck on "searching for gps" again. Was there any changes between b6 and b7 related to gps?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I don't know what all the GPS complaints are all about.

I have used the GPS navigation + google maps since day 1 (bought it on launch day)with this phone, and other than it pulling satellites slowly every now and then I have not had any problems.

This past week I used GPS nav to route myself from Northeast PA down to DC with no trouble at all.
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Lucky you. The complaints are stated in my post. Just stays on searching for GPS. It can find me using wireless networks, but nada via GPS. I would say since Samsung has officially recognized the problem and stated a fix is the works tends to make it obvious there IS a problem wouldn't ya think?
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
+1 Yeah lucky you....
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Been on SRE2b7 for less than a minute and DAMN it's snappy!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] djide:
Great work, LOVE IT....but was wondering how I can get back the TW Lockscreen? I need the music Widget badly don't like the fact that I have to unlock then go to the notification bar to change the tracks. And I really don't care for the widgetlocker... don't feel it can absolutely replace the lock screen for me.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
It all depends on your definition of "...gps works well....". Does it work as well as a magellen(sp?) or tom-tom? Of course not. Use common sense.

Those devices are THE SAME SIZE or BIGGER than our phones, and ONLY do gps. Therefore, they will ALWAYS be better than our phones at gps. If you need it to be THAT accurate, then you need a specific gps only device.

This latest beta coupled with jh7 have shown the best gps YET for our captivates, and that is USUALLY gonna be good enough.

I cannot stress enough that if you cannot read a map, and the built in gps has you 1 street over from where you need to be on dense city streets, BUY A TOMTOM!!!

/rant over

Sorry for rant :D
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Or just use my iPhone 4 which is incredibly accurate and fast. I'd take a street over, but as of now mine just searches for GPS the whole time. Using Jh3, maybe I'll try Jh7
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
+1

I don't understand why the TW Lockscreen was removed. I liked it and I haven't seen any complaints about it from others.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Im assuming everyone posting about SRE 2.0 are all testers since i have yet to see a link? Includes the voodoo lagfix also? Any idea when a release will be available?

And for the gps issues every gps capable phone i have had since the n95 (first gps phone) has had much better gps performance than this phone. It might not compare to a tom tom but it should get u from point a to point be. There should be no excuse why this phone shouldnt be able to do this one thing other than a faulty gps chip. None of should have to settle with it getting us to the general area.

On the other hand i rarely use gps so its not an issue for me. This is by far the best phone i have owned so theres no reason to get rid of it but when i do need to use my gps it should work
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
I will say this, since using JH3 and JH7, my gps is working much better. It's a coin toss as to which one works best but the fact that I can get a look in doors is a tremendous improvement over stock. So I can't wait to see how 2.0 works with it. Hell, it can only get better from here. So thanks to DG and to all of you for helping me with this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
More like technical difficulties with clockwork not supporting ext4 :)

ext4 will appear to be slower in benches compared to ext2, but in real world it is proven faster.

ya, there was a sound conf file in voodoo that messed with things, took it out.

there was a sound conf file in voodoo that messed with things, took it out.

nothing changed with the gps stuff.

Probably will go back to the tw lockscreen and have a separate small package to flash the stock one for those who want it.

You can always change it back ;)
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
JH7 is better and DO NOT turn on use wireless networks.... that ALWAYS makes mine take forever, or be REALLY inaccurate.

Look back and you will find a link with the download to the public beta. Less than 20 posts back, maybe on the last page. I can't keep up with the speed of this thread!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Thanks. I went pretty far back but not far enough.
[Captivate Android Development] mojmojmoj:
what do you mean ext4 is not supported? i have sre 1.3.1c with ext4 lagfix. can i flash over it? i have firmware jf6. sorry im newb
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Ya, you can.

Clockwork wont work if the entire partition is ext4, which is what voodoo does, the other lagfix's are just an ext4/ext2 file sitting on the RFS partition.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Sorry about the GPS threadjack, DG.

Back on topic:

I flashed JF6, then did JH7, then 1.3.1c (for clockwork + root) then did the v2b7.

My first attempt had me phone freezing soon after boot up (typically during the external SD card scan).

After several battery-pulls it kept doing it.

So, I re-flashed JH7, then 1.3.1c again, then v2b7 again.

So far so good.

Next I will use TiBU to restore all my apps only, no system data.

Thanks DG!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mojmojmoj:
i got this question i received from rom manager when i choose install rom form sd card. it says backup existing rom(i did already) and wipe data & cache. should i wipe it?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I guess I spoke too soon.

I am frozen again (happened while I was typing the previous post).

Any suggestions?

I am about to start the process from scratch to make sure I didn't leave any steps out, because I haven't seen anyone else have this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mojmojmoj:
also should i flash jh7? i dont know how to get that. is jf6 not good enough?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
This puts JH7 modem.bin file on your device, so there is no reason to flash to JH7.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I flashed to stock JF6, then to JH7 (I know it's not necessary, just being cautious). I used the update.zip file for clockwork to boot into clockwork and install SRE 2b7. Works awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] ancostel:
From what i understood i cant flash this if i already have the voodoo fix installed...what if ill disable it with disable lagfix file...it will work or do i still need to get back to stock first?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You don't need to flash 1.3.1c before 2...
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I think that is how that works, or you can flash with odin if that fails. I will have to test that out and see if it completely disabled ext4 and reverts it to RFS. That would be very handy. :)
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Do I just use the update.zip that clockwork puts on the sd root in order to get clockwork plus root so I can flash 2b7?

Sorry, I am pretty new to ROM Mgr.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
That's exactly how I did it. The update.zip will boot you into clockwork and you don't have to mess with installing the app before flashing SRE
[Captivate Android Development] ancostel:
Thx for the quick reply...ima give it a shot...hope it will work cause im 6 hours away from a computer to redo it with odin...
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Does the sre2.0 clear BATTERY STATS?
[Captivate Android Development] mojmojmoj:
is it really talking after the flash? 8(
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Awesome.

Thanks Joedon.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
sure does...
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yeah, ruins the whole "stealth phone hacking" at work concept...
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
So i finally found the link on 361 and its been removed. Thats what I get for sleeping. Oh well. Maybe that means the final version is almost ready.....
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
There's a link somewhere for BETA 7, or you can just use the link on 361 and change the 6 to a 7.
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
For the past week I have been running SRE 1.2.1a + one click lag fix on jf6 firm and I have been happy with how my phone has been working. Today I switched to SREv2b7 - I figured since I had a couple days of I could do a beta run.

I switched via the following

1. uninstalled one click lag fix and ext2 (don't know if this was necessary just felt like the right thing since it would be switching to a complete file system change);

2. rom manager flashed SREv2b7 right from SRE 1.2.1a on jf6 firm;

3. rebooted two times;

4. titanium restored my apps and data;

5. rebooted two more times just for the heck of it.

SREv2b7 has been running very well for me. Most everything I have tried has worked including messaging, head phone sound (with mic/headphone combo), 3g, market, and all of my apps that I have tested so far. Note: the service menus/options via keypad are the only thing I have found not to work - I believe this is a vodoo kernel thing from the posts I have read.

Will give the GPS a run through when I go for a car ride later

Will certainly post if I find anything unusual or not working correctly.

Good work DG confirmation # 3WT92785NX1683047
[Captivate Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Can I flash this over SRE 1.2.3
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Thank you sir! Glad its working well for you!

The services menus missing is related to JH7, they vanished with that update. If you use LauncherPro you can add a shortcut to your desktop to get to whatever you want.

sure can
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Running 2b7 . Running awesome and all headphones working. My gps still won't lock lol never has .

I love this lock screen. Its what was on cyanogen froyo for htc aria. For those who just don't like it cause of the music player controls showing up get lithium music player off market , best player , cost but well worth the money and when you see the lock screen controls you will fall in love.

SRE v.2B7 w/Voodoo LagFix - JH7
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
I used adw.launcher to create the shortcuts to the services menus - does custom shortcuts the same as LauncherPro - just noting it so others would know that adw.launcher works for this as well as LauncherPro.

Thanx again
[Captivate Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
To flash from Clockwork do I use install from sd card option and choose the file I downloaded? Does the file need to be renamed to update.zip?

Sorry I've never flashed this way before...

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
The voodoo fix that's included here, is it JUST the lag fix version, or the color fix as well?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Service menus were made inaccessible by JH7. Either use Launcher pro, or, for the lazy, here's a good tool app:

Enjoy!!

And, DG -So far so good.... no problems to report so far.... looking and playing.....
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Install zip from sdcard

select zip from sdcard

You can name it whatever you want
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I do think DG needs to create a new thread for the beta, that can become the final release page when that is finished. There is just so much info here to go through to see new bugs, info, help, tips tricks...

Just my opinion. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
DO NOT rename or clockwork wont work. It need that update.zip to go to the green text clockwork menu in recovery mode.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay, so far so good...

Restoring all of my apps via TiBU now.

SRE v.2B7 w/Voodoo LagFix - JH7
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
For the first time today I tried to play music in my car through a tape deck adapter thing and music won't play.I've used it countless times with my iphone and blackberrys but I cant get it working on my captivate. Headphones work though so its not the same bug that people are reporting.

Is this a common issue with all captivates? I really want to get it working, I've been using it on all my devices for years
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
This is the lithium music player lock screen. All controls work from lock screen and the lock at bottom , swype left to right unlocks.

if headphones work I would be testing your tape deck adapter with another device.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
What's a tape deck??

:D

I must say I haven't had that problem, but I do use the aux input to my car stereo and it works fine.

Idk if this has happened to anybody else but after i installed SRE2b7 i cant change my wallpaper it just puts a black screen

SRE v.2B7 w/Voodoo LagFix - JH7
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I dunno...I like using Widget Locker anyway. You can put any widget on it, and it works real nice.

EDIT: and while I like the Samsung's stock music player, I downloaded Music Player 1.0.16, which uses my already there WMP playlists for albums and stuff, and has a great widget for my lock screen...
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I did, it works on an htc aria but not my captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
well.. off to disneyland :"> hope when i get back 2.0b9000 is out :D

I know a lot of people like stock music player cause its louder with some of the options it has. I just use volume booster from the market. Have to be rooted to use but that's why I'm here anyway lol

SRE v.2B7 w/Voodoo LagFix - JH7
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
SRE v2b7

SRE v2b7 w/Voodoo LagFix

SRE v2b7 w/Overclock & Undervolting (no voodoo, includes old lagfix thru sl4a, flash stock with odin if you have voodoo)

reboot after first boot to enable sideloading

flash with rom manager

By default the oc/uv version is using stock voltage and overclocked to 1.2ghz. If you want to try other configs, I have include a few on the sdcard under /config. Just rename any of them to "freq_volt_table". ONLY HAVE ONE NAMED "freq_volt_table" or you will be a sad panda!
[Captivate Android Development] ericos123:
i got it working on my deck using a usb cable it took some trial and error but works great, put phone in usb debugging mode when promted mount the sd card and music will start playing

note: music must all be placed on the external sd card in order for the stereo to recognize the device(removable not built in)

as for your issue are your talking about a 3.5mm to tape adapter? if your headphones work that should work fine without a problem just open the music player and select what you want to listen to
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Oh no, here we go again! ;)

Good thing I'm heading to bed....lol
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Yea, that's what I'm talking about. Headphones work but when I try the adapter I get nothing. I tried it in my friends htc aria and it worked perfectly. Seems weird to me I can't figure out why its not working
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
b7 is nice and snappy...only bug is i now have the "can't download from market" issue. i just put b7 over b6 which was over the original voodoo lagfix (disabled first). So I'm going to one click it back to jf6, and then start from there.
