You should have backed them up with titanium backup, and you aren't losing them, you just have to reinstall them.

If you don't already have SuperRoot you should restore to stock before using this...
[Captivate Android Development] blackarsenic:
Total Noob.

I love this phone and I love all the work you guys put into forum. Thank you. I'd like to know if can i run this just off of stock firmware (JH6). I have no clue how to put JM3 on my phone and don't wanna brick it. I have odin 3 but all I see is Start and Master Clear. No other options. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its one click so you dont have to worry about messing anything up :)

Now, to do the updates you need to get the normal odin, then just follow the directions about where to put each file.

You can't brink your phone with Odin, not possible, I have tried :P
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Is this completely reversible? Specificall the lag fix part? I've heard that once the lag fix is done that you only have a certain amount of space to hold apps...
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You can always go back... With this you will have 512MB of space for apps. More then enough ;)

I have 100 apps installed right now... only about 3/4 full
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
grrr....I have JF6....I take it this won't work well with my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos47:
everytime i select reinstall packages all it says is cannot open sdcard/update.zip[bad]

I didn't forget ;) . Thank you again man for all your help and hard dedication to this project.
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
Flash your phone with odin then it will :)
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Got this to work on my second attempt. Everything moves so much faster. My yahoo mail app actually works like it supposed to. Thanks for all the hard work and making things easy for noobs like myself
[Captivate Android Development] Pmarsh65:
I got it up and going without any major problems, loaded the sideload app but don't have a lag fix app visible . Has it been removed from .zip because troubles?

Edit: I found in the SL-4 disregard.
[Captivate Android Development] jollins:
When I try to reinstall any of of the removed Samsung apps, my phone gives up and says "Application not installed". I have no trouble side-loading other apps I've downloaded.

Anyone know why? Memo and daily briefing are actually pretty decent, so I'd like to keep them around.
[Captivate Android Development] KJPDX:
Thanks designgears. Another great update to our phones.

I first loaded the SuperRooter package on my fresh stock Captivate running JF6. The install had a few problem most notably the market app was missing. I did a fresh install of JF6 and tried SuperRooter again with the result of force closes of multiple critical applications. I believe JF6 just doesn't work well with this package.

My next step was to install JH2 and install SuperRooter. Everything worked flawlessly. No problems after a day of use.

My only question to anyone is the GPS Logging. I have found the way to turn it off, but it doesn't seem mine is logging anything with JH2. Was this also repaired with the SuperRooter package? UPDATE: NM, found that the lagfix mod fixes the GPS Logging Issue.

Quadrant Score: Went from 745 (STOCK JF6) , 815 (STOCK JH2) to 1835 with this mod.

Launcher Pro screams, bye bye TW.
[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
Any way to add the super circle battery fix into this? That would make it truly 1 stop shopping, especially when it gets overclock 1.2.....
[Captivate Android Development] thatg:
has anyone done the lag fixes. i ran one of them and now when my phone boots i get 1000 force close boxes and my phone is unusable. cant figure out how to flash from scratch with odin either. everytime i plug it in with the phone in download mode it recognizes the port com 3 and begins and fails with a port error. any ideas? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] :
SuperEasy, I think my biggest troubles were actually messing with odin for the first time! Other than that flashed in less than 10minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] KJPDX:
Ok, anyone having the same issue. I flashed the 1.2 overclock kernal with success except when the phone goes into sleep it doesnt wake up at all, not just the wake up lag issue.

Other than that my quadrant jumped from 1800 to 2150. Everything else worked great.
[Captivate Android Development] 10012403:
Parts that I do not understand what they are designed to do

Hi everyone.

I understand what the Root access, sideloading, unrestricted market access and lag fix are designed to do. What I do not understand is what the CM5 xBin and the SU 2.3.3 do for me. If someone would please explain what they do and why they are beneficial that would be great.:)

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] KJPDX:
Update: Reinstalled the 1.2 overclock kernel and it seems to work now, with some wakeup lag. Battery life seems like it may be an issue as well.

Quadrant Score: 2338
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
Lol considering what happened with OC/UV i bet it hurt to type that out
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
Yes please we are all dying to try it out! Tomorrow and all weekend off to flash my phone till my hearts content :)
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Nah, that's why he's been testing this so much the past few days. :)
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i say NEW THREAD!!
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy beta
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
He did say that he didn't test the UV kernel as much as he did with other ones didn't he?
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Well, this time he's utilizing more closed beta and alpha testers - to work any minor kinks out prior to presenting it to the masses. :)
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
That almost sounds like you're gloating ;) i'm jealous
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Alright, so I do my ClockworkROM backups pretty regularly, but I have no idea HOW to do a restore from them. Since the Captivate has the internal SD card, I'm not able to access that information unless the phone boots up and gets back into USB mode. So if I do happen to do something, how exactly do I restore from that backup (and WHAT does it restore)?
[Captivate Android Development] Landulf:
Now DG, I'm expecting great things from you out of this new SRE with OC/UV,HSUPA,Orientation working,SD working,GPS flawless and while your at it, make the damned FM radio work too!! j/k Your work rocks no matter what!
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
As of right now voodoo, is the best lagfix i have every used.

2) currently the OC/UV is not supported by voodoo because the init.d isnt added into the voodoo kernel. Once init.d scripts are working with the kernel, DG will beable to have a voodoo kernel with all his sexy scripts to do all the sexy stuff SRE does (sideload, root, OC/UV)

sidenote, DG- I didnt have any luck getting the sd card issue fixed my modifying the 2.01a zip with the newest 1.4.1 kernel
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Clockwork makes a file called update.zip (also copies it to its /sdcard/clockwork directory as recovery-update). You MUST rename that file to use another update.zip (like applying old sre, etc). Clockwork uses that file in RECOVERY MODE.

There are different methods of reaching it, but for me, with phone off I hold both volume buttons, then add power button and hold all 3 until the screen comes on. Then i release power, count to 3 and then release volume buttons. You the see the recovery menu.

Now, all that is standard. If you choose REINSTALL PACKAGES in recovery, the system looks for a file called update.zip and executes it. If it is the one for sre install, then that gets done.

If it is clockworks update.zip, then the clockwork recovery menu is brought up (green text menu). You may, from there choose to restore to one of your nandroid backups.

Hope that helps and sorry it was so long.....
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
No, that makes a lot of sense. So after I flash a new SRE and batterycircle mod I should remove that update.zip so the phone won't get confused, right? And if Clockwork names it something else, how would I get in to rename it if the phone is borked?
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
when's that beta? :P
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
yayyyy!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
A little dissapointed, but DGs coming to the rescue...

I was so excited to see a stand-alone Voodoo available, until I realized it doesn't support the init.d scripts, so Mobile AP won't work. Besides all the wonderful things SRE does, Mobile AP was THE reason I started playing with SRE. So if I have to pick VooDoo or SRE, SRE wins hands down. Besides, while lag was awful back in JF6, JH7 and SRE make lagfix almost unneeded. Yes, VooDoo will be wonderful to have, but I can wait on DG to have a version of SRE that incorporates Voodoo.

In a word, thanks DG for the great improvement to my Captivate!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
voodoo was just updated to support init.d scripts (though for some reason he wants them in the /sbin/"something" folder instead of /system/etc/init.d), so mobile AP should theoretically be supported with that kernel
[Captivate Android Development] karrin:
Ugh...that's a bummer. Finally got the thing rooted, side-load enabled, etc...

B

It's with trepidation that I even consider resetting everything. maybe I'm being a bit of a sissy about it,:rolleyes: but if it's not too grt a PITA, I'd really appreciate it if you'd articulate exactly your best method to restore? I've the same phone you do; Do I simply reboot into recovery and reset all to factory defaults? Yikes! That sounds scary to me - undoing all the effort I put in to root, unlock, update, etc. but then again, it sounds like this will do all that - and a host of other niggling tasks and upgrades I'll want done, anyway, so....I've backups via nandroid and ROM Mngr.. .FWIW. (Not much, I gather)

Is it a clean install we're after?

Thx for your time.
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Reload the kernel by itself from unhelpful's thread using clockwork recovery, and then reboot it once. It will fix it. :) Dunno why it works that way but I have the 1.4.1 kernel on my sd card and you dont even have to reboot after a clockwork SRE flash, you can just go straight back in and pick the zip kernel and it works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
JH7 & 1.3.1c

Yes, I had this combo working great. Best ever! Was very fast, no problem, and better battery life for me. GPS was great. Did have to Odin back to JF6 and then to JH7, then SRE 1.3.1c, and misc.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Thanks, guess that went up right after I made my post. After reading his post, I also commented on the rather odd move of the init.d scripts. Being a linux biggot, his placement IMHO is not where scripts belong.

Oooooooh yeah.

Can the new thread have post #2 have very explicit step by step instructions for wiping/flashing/ROM manager etc? Would clear out a LOT of the "how do I..." posts. I know people (and me, I'm guilty of this as well) should search, but they don't :/.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Been checking all day for this and as soon I leave the house lol as soon as I get home ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Agree I have no idea how to use rom manager.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Oh goody oh goody oh goody! !!
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
it doesn't clear /sdcard right?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
Any chace of having this loaded to rom mgr for ota???
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I might do that when its in its final stages
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Dang I'd rather not wipe it. Theres like 8GBs of stuff on it.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I always do it this way:

d/l my new file (SRE for instance)

rename clockwork's update.zip that creates to updateClock.zip

rename sre to update.zip

reboot recovery and choose REINSTALL PACKAGES

sre finishes

delete or rename sre update.zip

make updateClock.zip back to plain update.zip so clockwork will keep working.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonhubsmith:
Woot

First time using your mod, flashing right now, hope its great! Ill post my impressions later
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Awesome, cant wait to hear it!

ROM MANAGER ONLY!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Ok, sorry you had me confused. You said "no wipe required" as if it would do it for me so I assumed you thought I wanted it wiped.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
So dg when 2.0 goes live are you going to create a new thread? Or is this monolithic shrine to SRE going to continue to grow until the XDA forums software caves in on itself?
[Captivate Android Development] 2kgt:
Install this from Rom Manager. Your sd card will remain as is.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
So is the OC/UV in this new SRE rom? Or is it not included yet?

I have no idea how to use Rom Manager so I guess I'll try to figure that out while people post their results on the new ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
i was only responding to his earlier question about those things that DO install as update.zip

I know this is now installed thru rom manager (woohoo!!)

Sorry for the confusion.
[Captivate Android Development] ronpinoy253:
Amazing! The vibrant GPS fix is included? Can't wait to test...way to be the pioneering developer on porting the good stuff over to the Captivate DG!!!
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
I have the External sdcard ext3 lagfix running. Should I revert that first, then install Rom mgr along with this SRE? Or I just run flash this SRE with ROM Manager.

Also the stock lock screen , does that also allow music playback controls?

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I like the caving idea :D

This is stock clocks and voltages.

put the rom on your sdcard, name it anything

Install rom manager from the market, open it up, click install rom from sdcard, select the rom, follow the prompts and accept root access

Oh, I see :)
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
yayy so much easier with rom manager
[Captivate Android Development] ronpinoy253:
So far so good...ODIN 1 click back to JF6, then usb attached my phone to computer and copied of the downloaded beta for SRE onto internal sd card. Rebooted phone into stock recovery and from there went into Clockwork recovery, installed SRE zip from Clockwork recovery and it did its thing! In OS now and ran Quadrant and got 1600 stock. Going to replace my apps and test the GPS now.

Question DG...does my JF6 showing up in the system settings "about phone" menu mean I don't get the Vibrant GPS fixes? Or does that not matter which firmware I am on (JF6 stock, JH3, JH7, etc.) ? Your SRE will do everything on its own no matter what firmware I am on correct? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] jasonhubsmith:
Just finished installing! Runs perfect for me, going to use it from now on. No bloat-ware, battery percentage, etc, this makes an awesome phone that much more.

[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Running great!!! Fast as hell!!! Can't wait for the OC version!!!
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
Why the decision of ditching the OC kernel for the voodoo? Is the voodoo fix way better than the Ext2 lag fix and how?? Just wondering.

edit:

Why is this a complete Rom?? And why Rom manager only?

edit:

Sorry for all the questions. I just like to know how stuff works and why that is all. Not questioning anybody's job. Wanted to clear that out before somebody start flaming ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
In short: Yes

Long story:

EXT2 was just a file created on top of RFS and all of your stuff was moved into it, but it was still a file system piled on top of another file system

Voodoo on the other hand COMPLETELY REPLACES RFS with EXT4, so you still get journaling, and your stuff is stored properly instead of in an extremely volatile bubble on top of your existing file system.

Makes a much bigger difference in real world performance than an OC would anyday
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
Ok, I see. THX!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
can we still use an OCUV eventually??? and what about other mods like fightspit's batt mod still compatiable??
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Yes OC/UV!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
If you install an OC kernel you will replace the voodoo fix as it is in the kernel per se.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You just have to wait for the kernels to be frankensteined together, I would expect it won't take too much longer since the guy who ported Voodoo to Captivate uses Unhelpful's kernel as a base :)

As for the battery mod, that's a question for designgears

Just for emphasis:

IF YOU INSTALL THIS DO NOT FLASH THE OC KERNEL OR IT WILL FUBAR YOUR INSTALL, VOODOO REQUIRES THE VOODOO KERNEL TO FUNCTION
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
what do we do if we want to come from COMPLETELY stock?? I was planning on formatting internal sd card, 1 click odin to jf6 then going to this.

Maybe the one click galaxy s root program just so i can install rom manager then flash this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
The JF6 you see if from the modem, if you want that change just flash the JH7 modem in Odin, going to flash that too hopefully so you guys can just flash the rom and be all up to date.

glad ya likes :D

oh man, that made me ROFL

Coming soon I hope, just waiting on atinm to port that stuff over to his kernel

Its just beta, Final version will have all the goodies.

Ditto, but I want UV, last battery went 30hrs!!
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
Really?? How can you install a OC kernel and not lose voodoo?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I'm glad SOMEONE caught the reference :D
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You cant, it will break EVERYTHING
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Why the stock lock screen? I like the TouchWiz one a lot better.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
OK how can I get the beta? Will paw through the posts and see what the best way to install this will be. Unless some kind soul will pm me the instructions that way we don't repost it multiple times
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Your kidding right????

Just a quick question, when you say that this will wipe everything, will it wipe my nandroid backup as well? Sorry for the noob-ish question, I just get kind of scared doing some things that say will wipe everything.
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
TW lockscreen = Sexier, and better imho.

Get to see your live wp, and can swipe anywhere to unlock :)
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Id have to agree. It was really nice to be able to swipe in any direction. Precision requires too much effort.

On another note, MY GPS WORKS!!! INDOORS! I can finally find my way out of my room! Haven't tested driving yet though.
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
Has anyone tried and other MODs with this????

HOLY **** MY PHONE IS TALKING TO ME ????? LOL i assume that is normal during the install...if so DG you scared the **** outta me.
[Captivate Android Development] mircury:
I HATE that puzzle soooooo much on TW. Like the stock much better IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
its just a beta :) it will probably be an option in final

thank you kind sir :D

lol, did you really need to GPS your way out of your room?
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
haha just a joke about all the controversy over people testing their GPS inside.
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
I can see my live wallpaper with the stock lock screen!!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Cool - that was fast! All the code is on github for the init.d so you can track if I make changes to integrate the latest samsung code drop too.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
K so installed awesome. Only problem was right after install it rebooted and got stuck on Samsung loading screen and turned blac. I just took battery out and started it back up and all worked perfectly. Kinda wierd though, any one else have this ?
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could just backup your "/system/framework/android.policy.odex" file, and restore it after you install SREv2b6... Someone care to chime in and let us know if this would work?
[Captivate Android Development] mesasone:
Now that you've rolled this up into a complete ROM, which version is it based off of... JH7 or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
does this have the VOODOO color fix as well??? it definately looks a lil better???
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
yea because DG said "Known Issues:

Scripts don't run on the first boot, REBOOT after first boot"
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
anyone have some tips coming from a completely stock phone?? Clockwork obviously requires root, so what is the best way to go about that before installing this rom??
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
wont work, I have deodexed all the files, you would have to pull your framework folder and deodex it

Nope

Its JH7, so its best to flash to JH7 stock, boot into clockwork and flash

oneclick rooter and rom manager should get you on your way :)
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
Does the new version have side loading enabled? It doesn't appear to be working for me.

Edit:

My bad, just need a third reboot
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Works for me!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
make sure you reboot after your first boot

might have something to do with the lagfix, not sure, I havent had that happen.
