The details on the full lag fix can be found in the i9000 bounty thread. It is still in private beta there. I believe a lot of the issues with the other lag fixes happen because there are two copies of /data, symlinks, a loopback device sitting on top of RFS, or less than expected 2GB of storage space involved in all of them. The full lag fix does none of those hacks, and instead puts all of /data on an ext4 file system. This fixes the real lag issue. The reason I like this to be added to SRE because the way to implement it is the same as SRE. And unlike the mimocan fix, this kernel will not require that /data be on ext4, it will allow it to be on RFS just like stock.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
The kernel is needed to run the mobileAP stuff... It shouldn't drain your battery, there is no overclock or anything extra running. The only changes are to the clock speed table and running user scripts.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
Yea, but the old manual kernel flash for mobileAP really drained battery on my config. It must be conflicting with something. So I'm just wondering if I can use ODIN to reflash back to stock kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Custom fonts stopped working today. I've been running SRE v1. 2.1a since Monday afternoon and then installed Fightspot over it and everything worked fine. I went into settings and made sure the box for the font is checked and tried restarting the phone. It just shows the stock font bit the box for a custom is still checked. Anyone else having this happen.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You wont have any battery issues like back then, totally different kernel...

You can, but then you are back to no MobileAP. (I will be posting a no custom kernel version eventually)

if you installed a lagfix, that will break the custom font functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
That answers that. Thanks. I just noticed it today. I would rather the lagfix over the font.

email app..some other bugs

1. Hi, anyone having problems with the email app??

I have a exchange account setup and every time I want to reply or reply all the app crashes.

2. I sometimes get a gps lock with google maps/nav but NEVER with other apps that use gps such as trapster, BoA app, ect

3. with root explorer, I had to make some changes to /system/ folder..so i mounted as R/W, but now im not able to mount it back to R/O :(

4. THANKS DESIGNGEARS AND EVERYONE!!!..

here is my setup up

captivate with sre v1.2.1a

tayutamas zip lag fix(ext4)
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:

Ryan added an update to his lagfix to enable custom fonts, I just installed the update, says it's experimental, let's see if iit works.
[Captivate Android Development] iphonekillers:
excuse me, but some sometime when im in a call and i take it away from my head.screen does not return automatically on unless i hit the power key ..is this normal ? sorry if this is a hassle to answer open to anyone response.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
^^ That is wake up lag I believe... used to have that but NO MORE..... YEAY!!!

JH3 + SRE 1.2.1a got rid of that and its faster than ever!!! with latest tatuyama ext2 scripts... of course... didn't like ext4
[Captivate Android Development] aite97:
DO you need to restore to stock or not?

It says in purple on pg 1

"Odin is no longer required, custom kernel is flashed on first boot!"

I current have normal stock and i used unleash the beast. Do i need to restore to stock or can i just the update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
According to a previous post by the OP you can Flash right over then. No need for Odin in your case, others running UTB have had success flashing this over it. Great stuff here, DG is the bomb!
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Will this work with JM7?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
please read the OP
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
In the OP it says this is for all Captivate builds and JM7 is a I9000 build I think.

However, the newest build for captivate, JH7 came out today, so he's probably adapting to that 1st.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
JH7 doesnt even boot.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Yeah, just saw your post on the other thred. Getting ready to try this for this hell of it, from the jm7 release thread....

So lets see if I get this:

I currently have a Captivate running:

UCJH3

Design's SREv1.2.1a

Tayatuma's Lagfix4 2.3.3

I nandroid backed up

I open odin with auto reboot checked and point to the pda and csc files from the 1st post and the J8 modem from one of the last posts so i can keep talking and getting data here in US.

Conect in d/l mode

START

wait for Odin

Close odin

That simple?

Or will I still need to flash back to JH3? very confused here....

Hello all going to pick up a captivate today and since I'm a I'm new to this phone I just wanna know if this is the best route to go on this phone.

Rom : CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Liberty (FroYo)
[Captivate Android Development] agegsg:
Hey I am currently trying to install the SRE on my new phone and it seems that I am getting a "E:Can't even sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory."

I placed the zip file on my external sdcard and renamed it update.zip. Am I doing anything wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] clueless captivate:
hey flashed over with the bloatware, but they never came back will try again, anyone else, just want media hub, tried to side load it with appsinstaller, went to replace and then said no go
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
you have to flash stock then use it, it wont being them back if they are already gone.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You need to put it on your internal sd card...make sure it named update.zip not not update .zip.zip
[Captivate Android Development] clueless captivate:
ah i seeeee.....thanks trying root explorer for the media hub
[Captivate Android Development] agegsg:
I see, Thank you. One more thing though, my phone and computer doesn't seem to get along since I can't open the phone's storage space when I have the USB setting on Mass storage mode. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No that is not normal...Maybe a driver issue...
[Captivate Android Development] clueless captivate:
GOT IT!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
you dont need to flash to stock to flash the standalone mobileAP package, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You are correct sir!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Make sure you go into settings--applications--developement--usb debugging checked. Then plug your phone into the USB port of your computer, your computer should make a bing sound or whatever now pull the menu down from the top of your phone's screen and click on USB connected and mount it to your computer.

If that dosen't work make sure you have the correct drivers installed.
[Captivate Android Development] agegsg:
Thank you for your help. I forgot to allow the phone to let the computer access it.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeimus:
How can I tell if busybox installed?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Hey DG,

According to Eugene 373 over in the Vibrant forums, his newest release of Vibrant9 seems to have completely removed touchwiz (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743769)... it isn't included in his changelog but he claims it was removed on his twitter (http://twitter.com/Eugene_373/status/22729404037) without having constant FC's... do you think it's possible you may be able to do something similar at some point?
[Captivate Android Development] zolezten:
i have a question. I already installed this so am I able to update to froyo when it come out or I have to flash it back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] rampantandroid:
Boot animations still present

Hi All,

Some quick questions: I went ahead and flashed SRE, and it shows as the build number in about - the one issue I see at this very moment is I still have the crappy ATT animations on boot - did I do something wrong?

Also, I'm seeing my phone drop all data connections sometimes...going into flight mode and back out fixes it...is t his an SRE issue?

I'm on the Captivate, and I did the EXT2 fix for perf (photos load WAY faster now...)

Finally, I did the "best version" which I assume means I get the OC stuff. How do I enable it - is that via adb commands? The thread on it didn't make it clear to me.

Thanks for all the hard work, really appreciate it!

[Captivate Android Development] :
Hi,

If i use this method to root my phone, how do i go about unrooting it (i.e. restoring it to stock)?

Can someone please point me to the instructions for this?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
In the Sticky threads at the top of this forum is one that is [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click....

you can revert back at any time
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
flash stock and try again, sounds like something conflicted during install.

OC is enabled by default.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
quick update: updated using the standalone Mobile AP yesterday and after 6 hours of sleep, I had 94% batt left. I don't know what you changed, but it no longer drains my battery!

Thanks design.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
I thought that was the case as well but noticed that the battery meter just re-calibrates after a full day of normal use. (don't think the actual battery life is affected, just the battery meter)
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
Hi, I just recently flashed sre, but I noticed a few proble ms. My gmail account and text message account didn't update automatically. Sometime a text message take really long to show up. And I have to refresh to get a new e mail. please help me
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
clear the cache for each of the apps
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
My phone is getting real hot not charging normal use. 49°c is this normal on sre ?
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
thank you DG for reply so quick, is there a way to do this manually? Or do I have to download a cache clearing app???.
[Captivate Android Development] rampantandroid:
OK, just to be sure I'm doing this right then: I backed up, did the adb download method, it showed as a com port in ODIN, and I hit start...waited for a reboot, uploaded update.zip (the SRE zip file) and did recovery.

Now, since I have the ETX2 filesystem now, how will that conflict with me going to stock, if at all?

Thanks for the reply!
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Something wierd happening and hopefully someone can help me out. I flashed to stock using Odin, then flashed using this SRE and everything went fine. Phone seems to be working well.

Only I wanted to see my CPU speed to verify I was running at 1200, so when I open up Quadrant it tells me the max freq of my proc is 1200 and it's current freq is 800.

But even doing an adb shell to get CPU info the highest I have seen it running is 957mhz. Isn't it possible to be cranked at 1200 all the time?

I'm not running SetCPU currently. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Unless you installed a lag fix you do not have the ext2 filesystem hack..DG removed it from SRE due to issues he didn't have time to deal with.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
settings > applications > manage applications, change the filter to show all, select gmail and click clear cache.

Sounds right to me, the EXT2 stuff will get knocked out, you will have to reapply it.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
It will ramp up when needed...If you want it at 1200 all the time then install setcpu and set it for 1200...
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
ahh ok Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
OP... Might consider adding this in at some point:

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
No thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Thanks, for this ROM - not too fancy but the overclocking part works great - I installed RYAN's one lag fix app on the market and got a 2400 Quadrant score and the phone seems zippier even with the tons of widgets I use. However, the sideloading aspect of the ROM does not work - with my prior i9000 ROM I could go to an APK link and download it and run it - with this I get the UNKNOWN error - I have read how to use SQLite and ADB to fix the issue, but would rather have it done with the ROM. Not a deal breaker, though, just a minor concern. Any thought? THANKS!!
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Well I got my CPU speeds sorted out thanks to SetCPU, thanks for that.

Only thing is my Quadrant scores didn't go up, in fact the first few runs they went done.

Before I was monitoring CPU speed and during a quadrant run before SetCPU they never went about 957. I was getting 2300.

Now with my CPU set at 1200 all the time I am getting between 1800 and 2300, I thought a bump up to fixed 1200 would get me a couple hundred points. Not a big deal, just curious about the discrepancies.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Also, when I go to ABOUT to view the info on my phone after flasing the ROM, the KERNEL is shown as 2.6.29 chshrcat@alice#48 - why does it not list the kernel that came with the ROM??
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
That is the kernel that came with SRE v1.2.1a...It replaced the stock kernel with the OC kernel from unhelpful...
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Quadrant will fluctuate...I get any where from 1900 to 2150...All that matters is how the phone performs in the real world...
[Captivate Android Development] yogesh892:
ahh can someone help me, i was running sre 1.1 i think with the lag fix and the side loading script. but it randomly starting getting this force close bug, so i just put the 1.2.1 zip file on my internal sd card and installed that. but now its just gets to the galaxy s screen, stalls for like a minute than blanks out?! help! =(
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
well since you failed to remove your previous lag fix you now have to use the Stock Odin3 1 click restore utility..It is a sticky post..Restore to stock and then redo the SRE and you should be good to go...
[Captivate Android Development] yogesh892:
would that erase all my contacts and messages and stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] dontshakepandas:
That is pretty much a pointless question isn't it? It isn't like you can really access them with your phone in the condition it is in anyways. It is the only way to fix your phone. Do it, next time read more before you start doing things, and make a back up before you do anything.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If your contacts are used from Google, they are still there and can be re-synched. I think your messages are gone though. It depends. Whenever I Odin, it leaves my internal built in memory alone.....
[Captivate Android Development] rampantandroid:
I did - the SLA4 one, and went with EXT2. Do I need to go in and revert to FAT or whatever it was before?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Well the easiest way to undo everything is to use the Stock Odin3 1 click restore..It is a sticky post. It will revert you back to the stock JF6 ROM that came on the Captivate. Then all you will have to do is reformat your internal SD card and it will be completely back just like when you first got it..
[Captivate Android Development] yogesh892:
nope, i saved them to my phone for the most part. but i used sms back and restore for my texts so atleast thats good. but it seems like most of the files on the internal sd card were untouched, im not sure if that applies to my contacts too? hopefully -___- the op didnt warn me about the lag fix so didnt think it was a problem. i guess i learned my lesson on backing up my information regularly.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah the lag fixes are pretty funny that way...Sometime you can flash over and it works but other times you will have problems..I find it easier to restore to stock and then do whatever fixes I use. At least that way you can make sure there are no issues caused by installing on top of other fixes..
[Captivate Android Development] Jim_C:
I tried to use the Circle Battery Indicator mod with this but

it doesn't seem to work with this 'All-In-One-Root'. (1.2.1a)

I downloaded the .zip file, renamed it to update.zip, put it on my

'root' sd card, re-installed packages and received no Circle Battery

Indicator'. Any advice?
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Might be a dumb question...but do I still need SetCPU for the overclock or is it done within the kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] kareeem:
It's overclocked by default (you can use it to go back down) I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
ok so i had to do a nand restore and tried to flash this again and even though it says that sideloading is enabled, I cant download 3rd party apps. Why is that, and how do I fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Every time I have a problem and start over..... here's what I do and it worked many times...... BTW, this is my 1st smartphone and 1st experience with android..... total noob here.... but I have read ALOT on these forums.... anyway, here's my method:

I started stock, UCJF6.

Downloaded a one click root.

Downloaded from the VERY long SRE thread the orig UCJH3

Downloaded earlier sre package that also had kernals

Odin the JH3

Odin the SRE v JH3

Download and rename SREv1.2.1a.zip to update.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard

*EASY ADDITION STEP I ADDED*

Install Quick boot from Market.

Run Quickboot and reboot in recovery mode

From recovery mode, vol down 1 choice to "re-install packages"

press the power button to select that choice

When all that is done, you will be on the latest captivate firmware (UCJH3) with the Super Rooter Extreme v1.2.1a

Then pick a lag fix. I like Tayutama's, but I hear Ryan's is just as good.

The reason you had a problem, I think, is because if you read the OP features of this, it has a % added to the standard battery indicator. (Now that I think of it, it might not say that anymore). You seem to be trying to overwrite sre's %battery indicator with another..... just a guess.....
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Ok i will try this. Thank you:-))
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
I doubt you'd want to run it all the time. bye bye battery.

Strange, worked for me. Did you dl the right one (ie, not the black bar mod one?)

I did just fine, then I flashed minimalism theme over that. Wouldn't think that it's the problem
[Captivate Android Development] spirit32:
hey.. zup guys? nexus one owner here,but i'll receive my captivate tomorrow. first thing i want to do is flash this sre. after installing clockword recovery, can i just flash this? because i'm already in stock right? or i need to flash the vanilla rom first?i'm confused on what stock means here. the stock android vanilla or the stock att captivate rom. thanks for any help!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Stock AT&T, you'll need to at least root it first to even get CLockworkMod. You won't have any trouble if you are on the stock AT&T.
[Captivate Android Development] spirit32:
thank you very much!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Your welcome. Welcome to the world of Captivate! Enjoy your new device!
[Captivate Android Development] NeoXer0:
Wait so, I should NOT be rooted before installing this? So if I have a brand new phone with nothing on it I just install it and the rom will root the phone?

Also, what exactly does a nandroid backup do?

Sorry, I'm a newbie here.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I know this is a REALLY long thread, but you gotta read the OP, which is updated as necessary. Bottom line:

A nandroid backup is a backup of your WHOLE SYSTEM AND APPS (think windows system restore) and is a part of an app called Rom Manager. You must be rooted to run rom manager and create a nandroid backup.

So, out of box captivate? There is a 1 click root thread here: h t tp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304 . Download and follow instuctions. You will then be rooted.

Then download rom manager and go to the thread about clockwork recovery: h t tp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734163 . Follow those instructions to create your nandroid backup.

Then do your SRE from here. Then a lagfix if you want.

That is how I did it and it worked. However I am also a noob, but have been playing ALOT the last 2 weeks.....

So I finally got brave enough to do this but now it seems I cannot use Clockwork mod to flash this.

Anyone has a simple dummies steps for me on what to use...i read about using the "normal" recovery and reinstall captivate option but I cannot find what that is exactly.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
What have you done so far? Make sure you use Odin 1 click to start from scratch, after that download the update.zip file. Mount your SD card and copy the zip file to the SD card. After that do a reboot via ROM Manager or you can use the adb code adb reboot recovery and that will work as well. Click reinstall packages and you should be set.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
download the file from the OP, name it update.zip, put it in the root of your internal sdcard.

turn off your phone, hold both volume buttons and the power button, as soon as the screen comes on, let go of the power button and keep holding the volume buttons until your enter recovery mode.

Select reinstall packages... all done :D
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
