That's crazy these phones dont dismount properly...i guess i need to appologize for arguing with a friend that it does. :o Dude why the hell would it not dismount cleanly? OH well...Im sure we are way off topic at this point.

I cant believe you hadn"t noticed enough difference in a lag fix and without. Its like night and day to me.

On another side note: Im so glad we got mobileAP working this week, it was the biggest improvement for my android experience as of yet because i use this to tether ...I run a business and have to use credit cards. Now i just want to have it dual boot windows 7mobile. I am feign for xbox...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Oh no worries :) If you're happy I'm happy, I just like to make sure people stay informed!

In the case of SSD in a netbook it would function much in the same fashion as the NAND in our phone, an SSD is just a cluster of memory chips working tandem- if the memory on an SSD gets toasted the netbook owner would be up the same creek we would be with our phones. What the netbook *does* have that we don't is a proper linux installation that gracefully shuts down the filesystem so our likelihood of data corruption increases, but not our likelihood of hardware failure
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Samsung decided RFS was sufficient, and since it's journaled a clean shutdown wasnt necessary and slowed down the process of turning off your device. Pretty rad logic up in the land of the big "S".
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no worries, it's something I didn't know or even consider until someone pointed it out to me too. I was under the assumption that the phone was doing a clean dismount of the ext2 image, but I was mistaken. I believe it has to do with the way the modules are loaded by the kernel, but I'm probably way off (I'm not much of a dev, hell I barely know java or C).

I'm just fine relaxing with a 1.2 GHz processor. If DG or someone can find a (relatively) safe way to replace the RFS file systems with yaffs2 (like I believe almost every other android phone out there uses), then we'll be flying.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yep, exactly what I meant by "how it sits." Also, if an SSD gets trashed, they're user-replaceable (even on my dell mini 10v which isn't exactly user-replaceable-friendly). Our NAND is not as far as I can tell.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Ahh sorry I misunderstood what you were getting at... yeah you can easily swap out an SSD drive. Part of the reason I'm paying for the insurance on this sucker is that I know I'm going to be abusing it though :D
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
hahaha @ Zilch what i am doing is abusing her what you do is methodically rape her !:D So yeah I would be shocked if you didn't have life insurance on your "ho"
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
haha, smart thinking... I'm really trying NOT to abuse mine, but with so many options everyday it's hard not to. I'm fairly certain I flashed something new everyday during the first week. Hell last night I did some experimenting with DG's last kernel (before it was all rolled up into an update) and JM5 that ended up with me seriously thinking I was holding a paperweight.

Happened to read a suggestion somewhere that got me out of a rather tricky phone+!+computer screen (had to hold just volume up before the first blink, then just volume down after the first blink--will never know how someone figured this combination out)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
At least I'm methodical! Plus, my Captivate needs a man willing to live on the edge- she's addicted to the thrill!
[Captivate Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Just bought a Captivate should I use SREv1.1 or wait?

Design Gears,

I actually just bought the captivate an hour ago. I was looking forward to applying your ROM. I had already downloaded the SREv1.1 yesterday. Should I wait for your newer version or is it essentially the same? I apologize, but I don't remember which items crossed out on your list weren't crossed out yesterday.

Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Just curious about running CPU benchmark. It says it is only running 550 mhz and not 1000mhz? I went into SetCPU and it is maxed out to run at 1000mhz. Any reason this might be happening? It isn't affecting the performance of my device but it is just weird it won't show the full 1000mhz.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Oh well thats good, no complaints from the 2.2 thread here either. The I9000 thread has some complaints though. Apparently not all paid apps actually *use* the app-private folder, and even though 2.2 added the folder apparently moving them gracefully isn't as easy as the rest O_o Who knows though haha
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
superuser.apk and su have been updated to 2.3.1!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Does anyone run CPU benchmark? Still curious if it is just me showing 550 mhz when I do a benchmark test.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It depends on what you have the settings set to, if you watch it during the benchmark it should go upto 1000 and then back down when it doesnt need it.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Not CPU benchmark, that only tests the speed, on SetCPU it will go upto what I choose.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Not sure, setCPU isn't very friendly with the captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Qmotion:
Let's see if I'm getting this right. If I load the following file it will install CM5, Bin, Sideloading, Unrestricted and Su 2.3.1 all in one shot???

http://www.multiupload.com/BCLH94FNVD

Now this can be done over my current root or will I have to go back to a stock rom first? Also is this mod good for the Captivate????
[Captivate Android Development] YeaItsSlo:
so this rooted my phone, disabled start up noise, removed bloatware.. but i cant get the sideloading script to run with the new 2.3.. i cant click accept when the superuser permission box pops up.. because that text box is in the way..

i also still have all the start up animations.. and nothing i see says anything about CM5?
[Captivate Android Development] Gerle:
I have the same problem, I can't click accept when the superuser permission box pops up, because that text box is in the way.
[Captivate Android Development] YeaItsSlo:
just got it! as soon as you open it up, press the back button, it'll kick the keyboard out of the way and you can press accept!
[Captivate Android Development] Qmotion:
So this file installs everything?

http://www.multiupload.com/BCLH94FNVD

Or do I have to update to Su 2.3.1 first then install the other download??

Excuse me for being a noob but I'm new to this stuff nd no way consider myself a developer. I'm just trying to be sure that I don't brick my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I guess you mean the keyboard, just hit the back button, the keyboard will hide.

Its just the CM5 xBin, all the linux tools, thats all.

Did you flash from stock?

I guess you mean the keyboard, just hit the back button, the keyboard will hide.

No problem, that has everything in it.
[Captivate Android Development] siehead:
If I want to install the [LAG FIX] EXT2 Lagfix - UPDATED FOR 2.3, am I better off installing this MOD first, then the fix, or the fix first?

I am thinking that I would completely wipe my device, then install the lagfix (which requires a ton of memory available) then install this... Is that correct?

Thanks for all your work designgears!
[Captivate Android Development] rekoncrank:
Anybody know if this works with the new I897UCJH2 firmware? I don't care about USB tethering as for some reason mine doesn't work anyway. wifi tethering works great though.

I'm looking to do the update to the latest FW to fix my GPS issues, and I don't wanna start from scratch with the root. Also, for restarting from a new install, is the best process to load the FW, then install titanium b/u. Then do a titanium restore, then do a launcherpro restore, or can you just use a clockwork restore (I think this will wipe the FW though)?

Thanks,

Crank
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yes this works just fine with the new firmware. I am running it since this AM without issue.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Don't post that... I will send killer monkeys after you if you do!

You need root to do the lagfix, I would do this first, then the lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Uhhh, my bad??? Not sure what I posted wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
That part :)
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Fixed in my post, you need to fix your quotes :p. Didn't know that was an issue, sorry man. Still curious to know what the CM5 stuff is. Where would be the thread on this stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
edge huh? Well mine is addictive to a man who lives on the 4g unfortunately I cant give her what she wants... :(
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Don't worry, a woman prefers a man with a lot of bandwidth over a guy that's done quickly.

See what I did there!

Okay yeah we've massively derailed, I'm going to stop now :D
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
@Zilch25: putting us back on track!

SRE v1.2.1 Change Log:

Clean, stable and Overclocked!!

Unhelpful Kernel v1.2 2010-08-27-0502

Removed baked in lagfix

removed sl4a

added ad blocking back in

Links live now!!

You can simply flash over your current SRE.

Use with any Captivate firmware (not I9000 roms)

If you want a lagfix, choose the one you like, install it and complain in their thread when it breaks! ;)

If you have a lagfix installed, by happy, flash over and enjoy!!
[Captivate Android Development] ltxfreak4:
Designgear you are awesome im still on 1.1 with lag fix ext4 and oc on and no errors. never had one prob with anything so far, when i have money i will buy you several beers lol
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
rofl your timing was impeccable as always :D

I'll have to install this once I get home so I can sort out all the bodies you're going to be sending my way in the Lag fix thread ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Thanks dg!

Direct download link if anyone wants it - http://www.ponack.net/downloads/SREv1.2.1.zip
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Thanks for this its awesome!

Two quick questions...

1.) Is the 1.2ghz OC default now?

2.) I saw you included the JH2 market fix, but I still cannot see Fandango.

Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I have no idea if you can control this, but could you consider making the screen where you flash the kernel a color other than red. Man that made my heart leap. Thought my phone was angry at me
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
1.2 oc is default, use setcpu to remove it.

install something from the market you can see that is free, then the fix will kick in.

sending you a pm

enjoy those bodies :D

I have no control over it, sorry :(
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
Very nice!

Went from SRE-1.0 to SRE-1.2.1, no problems so far. It is such a relief not to have to boot windows and use Odin.

Thanks again, donation in a couple of minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Im guessing from that you mean we can just flash over and be happy.. 2nd guess by flashing over it removes the lag fix?

I personally am not sure whats up with all the lag fix issues, i did a fresh jh3 yesterday, your last version before this one, had to restore sl4a from titanium, applied EXT2 (i like graphs.. lol) and havent seen any problems...

I really do love the fact of no more odin... will prob have to find time today to try this out if the gf lets me, she calls my phone my other gf due to the amount of time ive been spending on it.... luckily she loves her geeky bf... :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It will flash over and keep the lagfix...

I had some of the issues others did, so I decided to axe it, again...

they can do it if they want, I left a link to the lagfix that was baked in...
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Thanks, this is excellent!
[Captivate Android Development] mfriedman79:
Awesome work dg. Donation sent.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Right on will try to throw this on once Im from work...

[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
Mr. Gears,

I sent you a PM regarding a question I had, but here it is again: I posted this a while ago, hoping someone would take a crack at it, but it died within a day.

Does it interest you at all/enough to give it a shot?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Not something I will be getting into.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
So I d/led Nandroid 2.0 from somewhere and don't know what to do now. Up to now, I just did a Titanium backup and then started over if there was a problem. Do I HAVE to use nandroid and what, exactly, would it do for me? Save the step of starting over with Odin if there is an error?

Gonna try latest update over v1.1a with working lagfix_ext4. Will let you know....
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
Alright cool, thanks for the confirmation at least. Keep up the outstanding work!
[Captivate Android Development] mfriedman79:
I like the little change to the battery now showing percents. Might even make me delay applying the Circle battery for a while. When did this get added?

Now if only there was a faster way to re-isntalling all my apps with TitaniumBackup that didn't require me approving every single app install. Nvm. Just saw the Donate version says it has this. Gonna have to make another donation me thinks. :0
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
added that in 1.1, and the donation version of titanium backup is awesome :D
[Captivate Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Problem...Can someone help!

I downloaded the file

renamed it to Update.zip

copied the file to the internal SD

went into the recovery mode

clicked reinstall packages...

Now I get the following message:

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted

What did I miss here?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you actually named it Update.zip you should change it to update.zip- android is picky about case sensitivity!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
need to be all lowercase

fixed that for ya ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Wow! Worled flawlessy where do I find Mobile AP?

It listed on the original post that it included mobileap..

Where do I find that?
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
ok so im thinking about doing the lag fix. i have already done the install of the Kernel but my baseband version is 1897UCJF6, did i need to do some3tinng with that or can i do the lag fix with JF6?, also what are pros and cons of lagfix. its like a swapper correct? and will it damage my internal sd?

Thanks again for everyones help.much thanks

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Looks like the hosts file got hosed, here is a new one, just put in /system/etc overwriting the old one.

http://www.multiupload.com/AHPEA414TF

make sure you save it without a file extention, it likes to save as a .txt

update.zip is being updated on the op, you can flash over with that as well..
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
sideloading is disabled here on the 1.2.1? I cant install anything outside market
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Works fine for me. An easy test is to restore something from titanium backup

[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
Nope. I cant install anything. weird

If i used the original super rooter (not extreme) can i flash over?
[Captivate Android Development] g0dzilla32:
Having trouble installing the feeds and updates.. I know this was discussed earlier in the thread but I never found an answer.. When i try to install the apk it says application not installed.. anyone??
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I would flash the update.zip again, sounds like it didn't flash properly.

Try the drivers from the sticky, odin thread.

yes

feeds and updates is still there ;)

That would be awesome!!

there is another guy who has offered hosting as well, I think multiple direct links would be best, I despise upload sites..
[Captivate Android Development] Tarantino5:
I had those drivers installed, so I uninstalled them and reinstalled them again. Still wouldn't mount. So then I reflashed SRE 1.2.1 and it still doesn't work. The 'USB connected' is in my notification bar but doesn't have text under it. When I click on it nothing happens.

I'll play around with it. If you have any other suggestions let me know.

Thanks for the quick response!

-Tarantino5
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
Installing the zip again indeed solved the problem of sideloading :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
unplug the usb

go to setting > applications > development

turn on usb debugging

awesome :)
[Captivate Android Development] BlkSquad:
I've got force close on phone.process and clock.process everyone someone tries to call my phone and it disconnects from the network when this happens. I did a fresh flash with jm3 before installing sre, everything worked great until someone called. Any help would be appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] Tarantino5:
Awesome! The only other thing is that I can't find Spare Parts. Other than that this is great.

Thanks again!

[Captivate Android Development] clueless captivate:
so if i want one of those removed apps back on how do i do that?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its deprecated, forgot to remove the info for it.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
DL-ed file, renamed to update.zip, put in proper place. Ran it. It flashed, then I got the new red text saying don't turn off and plug cable, reboot, phone got to Galaxy's floating S, then it disappeared and even tho the buttons are lit on the bottom of the phone it's frozen. Can't get off black screen, can't call myself from landline (straight to voicemail). Can't do anything except, probably unplug and pull battery. This happened 2x. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Thats odd, flash JH3 stock and then do it... no PIT just the PDA
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
How do i adjust the overclock on my phone? Did the setcpu app come standard and i just cant find it or would i have to buy it off the market? :confused:

Edit: Im a noob, sorry lol
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
It will run 100-1200 without setcpu but the extra control is nice. It also has a new profile called "interactive" you can set it to, by default its set to conservative and you can't change it without setcpu.
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
Gotcha thanks, where can i get setcpu??
[Captivate Android Development] clueless captivate:
anyone on putting back on one or two of the removed files.... how to do...
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
what are the most typical or optimal settings for battery life yet best performance when awake and advanced settings for set cpu.

also. wtf has happened to my internal sd. i got barely 2 gigs left from the original 13.4 or w.e. where is it all going and what stuff can i pass onto external sd like backups or titaniums, or do those need to be in the android sd
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
Fail. While setting up the FTP i forgot an important step,

Flash back to stock.

Black screen with illuminated softkeys.

Going to run Odin now.
[Captivate Android Development] jimtastic:
Oh man, this was easier than I expected it to be. I've been lurking since I got my Captivate on the 8th, working up the balls to actually do something to it. Once i saw that SRE was do-able from an update.zip on all firmware versions, i was sold.

Just a question, I saw earlier in the thread that designgears said he was adding the jh3 firmware because people kept trying to do it from jf6. Did that happen? Im curious because after that, the link went down until today i guess, and its been updated to work on all firmwares... so am I right in assuming that it flashes to jh3 now? Because it says my baseband version is still jf6.

I wanted to make sure that wasn't going to cause me any problems down the line. I was on purely stock, hadn't even rooted, until I used this.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Starting over.

BTW can anyone explain ROM Manager to me? Sounds like it would be useful here.....
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
Anybody know where i can get setcpu? Besides the market..sorry, not bein stingy but moneys tight lol
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No it does not flash the JH3 ROM, he has not implemented that yet...I'm running the JF6 ROM and everything is flying...I like the JF6 better then the JH2 or Jh3. I've nver had the GPS problems that other people have...
[Captivate Android Development] jimtastic:
I got setcpu from the link in the first post. Since you're a member, you can just download it from the post in the link. Just use astro or whatever to install the .apk

[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
how do you start over? i have the same floating S screen and the bottom are lit but the phone froze. Can some one help me?????:confused::confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] jimtastic:
Okay, thanks for the info. I was confused, from reading the thread. They get lonnnng, and hard to follow. So, if one is trying to flash to other firmwares, they still need to use odin, right?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I get the same thing every time an update comes out that says just flash over. Mine phone will just hang, which is fine because I just flash jh3 again and it cleans everything out. To you open oden, then select your rom through pda. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and plug in the usb, once thats done click start
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes for now you must use odin to flash to other firmwares..
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It won't work in rom manager

yup :)
[Captivate Android Development] jimtastic:
One thing I noticed, coming from a stock jf6, is that my phone is turning off the screen much sooner than it is set to. Anyone else experiencing this? Its not a huge deal, but I did notice it.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
That happens to me sometimes, im on JH3 tho, it happens bone stock too..
[Captivate Android Development] iphonekillers:
yoyo i need that to......i check around but none of the links worked for me........
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
Do you select the pit or just the pda? cus when i pick both of them through odin my phone still can't get pass the floating s screen?
[Captivate Android Development] :
just the pda, its amazing since I last typed that Ive already flashed back stock, ran the new update, and ran an update for the circle battery. I dont use titanium backup because it takes me a whopping 10 min to get back to what I like
