[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
I was REALLY looking forward to working GPS today. I get rid of TWlauncher and install LauncherPro, don't the majority of people use a different launcher anyways? Is this "Frankentwiz"(I like the name) going to be uninstallable? Can we stick other nice TW things back in, like the dailer w/ smart-dial? LOL

I think most would love working GPS before a re-themed launcher. Installing the fix (the lib folder) gives me no GPS crashes, but also no lock AT ALL even after +10 minutes. Could we at least get a flashable GPS fix in the meantime?

EDIT: Just saw your twitter - 5 hours, not a bad delay. I suppose that means maybe I can actually get stuff done around the apartment today. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jtp199:
I installed this Rom and I'm not a big fan of it. I mean its still good like the battery life is good but u mean the whole interface and everything is kinda interesting but not really what I want we really need to make just a vanilla Rom for the captivate! But good work I give you props I couldn't do this. :)
[Captivate Android Development] eugene373:
vanilla? I'm guessing you have not seen the AOSP Project?

Also, vanilla is Possible.. Just have to know what to remove from twiz and relink to the correct ID's in the framework public.xml, oh forgot to mention it's a ton of work btw..

We're getting there though, Data is now working in Jane5 for Vibrant, but not ready for a release.
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
Hi there. I'm getting a lot of "Force Close" on many apps after I applied the Lag Fix on the 1st page. If there a way to reverse it to see if that is the problem. Love this ROM and want to keep it.! Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] jtp199:
Its ok. :/

I kinda like this rom but the theme or w/e it is is annoying and im getting tons of force closes on apps i always use and when i flashed the rom i couldnt fix it so i went through the day using this until i remembered i made a backup and flashed back to my original backup and everything is nice now. I would love a plain old vanilla android :)
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
You've mentioned that already.

As for force closes and whatnot, I think you must have gotten a bad flash. I've flash my captivate quite a lot and this is by far the best ROM you can put on it right now. Theming can always be changed, but this ROM plus Overclock and Lagfix is amazing.

I think you should try a clean install or something.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
And why say the same thing twice? This is the best ROM that is not just a couple items added with bloatware removed. And now with the GPS fix, those that are able to do it have a great product. I am extremely happy with this myself and have yet to have any FC's. Sorry that you have such issue with this.
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
I love this ROM but I have done the install twice on a clean stock and I still get a number of apps that just Force close (Compass, Weather Bug, etc.). Second time I tried to run apps without the lag fix applied but still the same problem.

Battery went out quickly but that could be the number of backups I did. BWT the new Frankin-Twiz is looking great too. Check out the screen-shots in Twitter.

I still would like to one more release of the Hybrid in near future to see if the Force Close gets better.

Great Job Eugene!:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
I wonder if he failed to run Rom Managers "Fix Permissions"

hrmm
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Strange, I'm using WeatherBug Elite with no probs. No sure, but doesn't compass use GPS? Maybe not.

Anyway, agreed, looking forward to Frankin-Twiz. Been following the twitter and hopefully we'll have something new to play with in a day or two.

Keep up the good work Eugene.
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
or even better, if he is running apps that call on the GPS

It doesnt work yet, and that is stated above numerous times.

it should work soon though, but as of now its broken. if you NEED GPS then as of this moment this rom is not for you.

but that being said, this is a great piece of work right here.
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
That makes absolute sense. All the apps that Force Close may have something to do with the GPS. Don't need the GPS right this moment and now with several ROM Manager backups it is easy to go back to a working version if I need it.

Thanks for the tip. Let's wait for the next release and see...
[Captivate Android Development] jtp199:
Oh i am sorry. I was using the xda app on my phone and it said i had an error so i didnt see my post. I apologize ill delete my first post. Im sorry. Yes I do know you can change the theme. But idk, I would say this is the best rom though I do agree but it is also the most stable and pretty much the only rom. SRE isnt a rom so i mean that would be the only thing thats close to comparison. I think i might flash it again with clean and everything and ill keep my swype apk so i can install it lol. Im pretty new to android like i just got my phone a week and a half ago but i knew how to use android before i got my phone but im still not a seasoned veteran so i think ill odin back to stock root and then load that rom and see how that goes again. :D
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
I know this was asked before but I dont think anyone answered. Is there a way to fill in the background on the notification window so its not transparent?
[Captivate Android Development] wpb2:
I would like to know the answer to this too. It is pretty annoying when I can't open apps, because I forgot I pulled down the notifications shroud.
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
This was tweeted by Eugene_373 about an hour ago

@Eugene_373

The best match to stock I have is by using the one click Odin3 restore, it returns the phone back to as stock/out-of-the-box that I know of. If that can help, just let me know what you need and how to get it and I'll do it. Anything I can do to help, let me know

Or I can flash back to stock with the samefirmware.com one listed, I think it is JH6, if I remeber correctly.

AND
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I sent him a message via twitter with the link to those dumps :) Hopefully he's diligently tapping away at "Frankin-Twiz"
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I really loved his rom. My signal was freakin ridiculous. I couldnt even imagine how voodoo could speed it up. It was already super fast.

So what was impression of the voodoo on this zilch?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nice and fast... havent had a stutter outside of that .5s one when you install an app personally
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm sure we all sent him that link. I'm probably the only person who suggested a JF6 base though =P

JH2/JH3 are debug and therefore shouldn't be trusted in my head. and JF7 runs into it's own issues with how you have to flash JF6 and partition, and then not repartition, and then cache wiping :rolleyes:

more trouble than it's worth
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
I get a little lag when installing an app on my 3.84 quad AMD desktop so a little on a handset is to be expected. This voodoo is smoking fast, and its not even OCd. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well the JH7 issues are more due to the way it's packed (high release blah blah), the system dump shouldn't be affected, you should be able to use a JF6, JH2, JH3 foundation and the ROM will reformat system to pack the newer JH7 files.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
true enough, didn't think about that. should have considering I restored a JH7 from JH3 (my *#*#1234#*#* just looks silly most days). well hopefully he's just ignore me since my twitter doesn't associate with my xda at all :D

JH7 IT IS!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Haha well even if he doesn't, a JF6 base will work fine, though it would suck to lose the little niceties of the later firmwares like youtube HD and the removal of Edge MMS size limitations!

Who knows, if we all bombed him with the same link he might just go with the majority voite lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Any updates on Franken-Twiz? Twitter seems quiet now. Eugene, if you need beta testers or anything let me know. I'm on business travel now living out of a hotel for a few weeks, so that means I'm really bored.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Im sure it will be ready in a couple days. Depending on the stock dump because he has released it for the Vibrant. Pictures and comments are promising. So issues but they he is already preparing an update for them. Eugene is doing great stuff for the Galaxy S phone!:D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Via Twitter:

Eugene_373

Both captivate & i9000 frankin-twiz are in testers hands currently. Will post links when I get feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
if this was facebook this is the part where it will say

(y) darkamikaze likes this.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I thought we are the testers. Maybe it's someone special, like Zilch.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Lol hey I throw my name into the hat all the time... unfortunately though, this time I wasn't one of the chosen few!
[Captivate Android Development] freedonkey:
How is Franklin twiz different from this hybrid rom
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Look at the vibrant dev section. I just mentioned it has been released today for

those guys.

Sweet life
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The OP for his Frankin-Twiz thread in the Vibrant forums may answer it a little better:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784142

My understanding is that he pulled the really bloaty nasty parts of TW out and left in the nice features that people actually like. So basically you get the speed of a no-TW setup with the convenience of some of the nice stock Samsung stuff
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
wow that twizzler is the shizzshizzler
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
miss swype, clock app, and calendar

although this mod is pretty awesome

i would like to keep swype, clock, and calender (all the stock ones that come with the samsung captivate)

does anyone know how i can install them?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
glitch

also have found a glitch, although google maps opens no problem

when you click "get directions" the app stops responding and your have to force close.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
From twitter,

Guess we have to wait a bit more.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Unless he's planning on releasing the versions built on the I9000 and Captivate system dumps- but most likely we're playing the waiting game again!
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
excellent ROM!! I am using this OM with the captivate JH7 and voodoo lagfix kernel beta4....what is weird is that the kernel reads 2.6.29. Quadrant scores of 1750 and linpack vary from 5.8 to 8.4...perhaps, I should try another kernel to see how the rom is, but it runs nice...only one FC when I go to dock settings for the clock. It was weird not seeing a file manager on here at first, but no big deal. GPS seems useless on this phone....will test and make sure. Thanks, eugene!!! If possible make r4 include all sounds from both captivate and vibrant.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Don't flash another kernel if you're running voodoo... it'll cause you looooooots of problems
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
what is weird about the kernel being 2.6.29? that's the version used with android 2.1. most generic ROMs don't come with a file manager, use astro or root explorer as a replacement. GPS is a known issue (and eugene even provided a fix a few pages back). Also, there isn't going to be an r4, eugene has moved on to frankin-twiz (though according to his twitter, he may have changed his mind on that too)
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
ok, I thought I had read that we could flash our own kernel onto this...quadrant scores were high enough, that I figured it was running the voodoo lagfix, but I guess I still had the generic kernel. On the GPS issue, thanks, I will read up on it...
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
well, the samsung screen repeats itself at first then it boots up fine...not seeing any other probs - except the stupid market apps will not download...
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
I am still a little new to ODIN, maybe one of you guys can help me. If i wanted to flash the I900 kernel do I put it under phone or CSC?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
PDA =P

[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
guys I'm getting nervous, I'm starting to think that Zilch is a cyborg....how else could he possibly know everything...but seriously, thanks for being so noob tolerant, it really helps grow the community ^_^
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Jeez would it really hurt people's opinion of me if I added a couple of robotic parts? I might also start calling everyone "Meatbag"
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Nice KOTOR reference. :)

I would be happy with at least a GPS fix for hybrid3.

I thought this build was going AWAY from TW. The TW home was probably everyone's least favorite part about TW and now its going back in? Would be nice to have the GOOD parts of TW like the music player and dialer as well if stuffs getting stuck back in. Is it going to be un-installable, or are we gonna get the TW FCs if we do?
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
awesome, flashed the re orientated i9000 kernel and it borked my wifi
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's interesting... some people have reported wifi screwups on that kernel, while others haven't had any issues
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
so reflashing the kernel would be appropriate in this situation?
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
WIFI dint work with the reoriented kernel and JH7 or JM8 but it worked for me with this ROm and even xcalibur is using this rom too and it works for him too.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah you can flash in another kernel and it should resolve the issue.

If it doesn't maybe it's a problem in the ROM- I know some people had intermittent failures on the first or second boot
[Captivate Android Development] life2monkeys:
I just re booted twice and wifi has decided to work O_o
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Glad to hear it... there's something flaky with this ROM in particular when it comes to wifi
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
d'oh...nm...wrong post
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
So, if I am correct on this, we flash another kernel - say, the stock captivate kernel and GPS issue is resolved....ok, so whenever I flash any kernel using ODIN or clockwork, the kernel number still reads the same '2.6.29', so either I have my stock kernel on this and the about is incorrect, or this rom blocks us from adding our own kernel...

P.S. P.S. The camera seems messed up on this...blank screen or I get the screen with no controls to use it with....
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
It is not the kernel that makes the gps work or not on this Rom. You need specific lib files from a stock build pushed into this Rom to make the gps work, however that does not mean it makes the gps useable. We are working on getting gps useable.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
ok, thanks....i will go with another rom until this has improved...internet browsing lags somewhat, too...
[Captivate Android Development] freedonkey:
hopefully we get one on sunday
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:

Android isn't new hat for me but rooting is. I've played with the other ROMs and like this one the best. Great work. I made a donation, I encourage others to do the same. Hope that GPS gets working soon!

[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
You need to read the entire thread. Yes GPS on this doesn't work. There is a LBStestmode fix you can try, just search the forum as it is now its own thread.
[Captivate Android Development] peaster3:
First off, I am admittedly a n00b. I rooted my T-mobile Vibrant and have been experimenting with a couple of ROMs. I am using Rom Manager from Clockworkmod. I flashed this rom and when the phone reboots, I get a reptitive force close that says "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly". When I force close, the same message pops up and I can't go beyond this point. I can't get to the market to download Rom Manager again and restore to my previous mod because the force close issue won't go away.

I'm sure whatever it is, it is my error and not your fine work. I have been following you on XDA for awhile now and I have confidence in your products. Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? At the moment, my device is unusable.

Thanks to you or anyone that can help me resolve this.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Errr... you might want to go over to the Vibrant forums and flash the version of this for your device- this is the Captivate version.
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
this rom is awesome!! just wish gps would be fixed! looked on a fix but was removed do to jh7 or something. hoping to see an update for this!

Huge Update Coming > http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8644583&postcount=868

I know you guys have 2.2 :( so once we get a working kernel I'll make an update for hybrid 2.2

~Eugene
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I already messaged you on twitter about bringing it to us, so glad to see you're interested. I would honestly choose this new updated 2.1 hybrid over 2.2 ANY day... I think both me and Zilch would easily agree to that. If you want to bring it to 2.2... even better... but I'll be beyond thrilled with this at 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
I'm still on 2.1 =) tried this rom and love it! Unfortunately since GPS was no go I had to flash back. But it everything was running g great and enjoyed the rom! Would like an update for 2.1!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
It looks like a night of phone play. I just finished COG 2.2 B7 but if this one comes out early enough I'll give it a try. I feel this prior Hybrid was the bomb....

Love your work. Can't wait to see the new one.

Stop playing those Angry Birds and get on with man... :D

Can I just replace the Launcher2 with the LauncherPro in /system/app in the zip file before I flash if I want to use LauncherPro?

Edit: Or do I have to modify something else?

JB
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Hmmm I don't know what the deal is, but I cannot create any new 3Banana notes using this ROM. Just get a black screen. :confused: Same thing happens with the Speedtest.net app.
[Captivate Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
Use Root Explorer from the Android Market....I use that to move apps to the system part of the phone. If not that, then you can add the files to the apps folder before you install a ROM onto your phone. Just edit the zip file on your computer and rezip it. I do it all the time, especially with themes.
[Captivate Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
If you want Launcher Pro to overwrite Launcher2, rename it to Launcher2 then push it. Or you can push Launcher Pro to your system/apps folder, and pull Launcher2 off. The easiest way is a app called "Root Explorer" that actually gets all the way down to the root of your phone, where all you have to do is copy and paste and so on. I use it literally, all the time if I switch programs and stuff. Can't do without it. It's not my app or anything, I just find it very very useful
[Captivate Android Development] xidium:
Just installed the ROM and everything went perfectly. Its a nice change to the norm. However I have a problem. I have no contacts from my sim card. I can send/receive calls and texts but when going into contacts, not one contact from my sim card is there. Then clicking on "Display Options" within settings of contacts it says "SIM Initializing...". Did I fry my SIM card?
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
Thanx for quick reply. I'm gonna add the LauncherPro to the zip file before I flash this rom.

and about the launcher dilema.. can't you just have two launchers D: ?
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Zilch and I were talking earlier and we did...

Root it and flash this rom

Then flash the JG8 modem

Then flash the Voodoo lag fix kernel (You lose your external SD card at the moment with this kernel)

But man this thing FLYS.
