[Wildfire Android Development] HOAP:
As far as I can tell the CPU settings for this kernel is set to ondemand scaling between 19Mhz and 768Mhz. (I think standard is 480-528Mhz)

3.14 is my linpack score.

For those whom have trouble getting the OC kernel running stable: It might be that you were unlucky and got "bad" hardware. There is a reason it's called OverClocking and that is that the hardware is running outside of the stable parameters set by the manufacturer.

I have been running the OC ROM since it was realeased and it's running fine. The system did crash/reboot on me once when I enabled wifi but haven't been able to reproduce it. But I'm guessing that was related to overclocking.

If you are unable to get the OC kernel to run you might want to install SetCPU and lower the maximum frequency a bit until your system is stable. (or if someone releases a patch that lowers the defaults a bit, 666Mhz is a nice number I think :) )

I also get that garbled screen for a split second when turning the screen on.

edit: and oh yeah, I also have that problems were the orange charge led sometimes hang when disconnected charger/USB cable. Only solution I've found to turning it off is reboot.

PS. Donated a small amount to adeadrat and Jacob for their impressive work. I encourage others who enjoy their work to do the same. You guys rock!
[Captivate Accessories] TopDogg1:
is there anywhere i can get a back cover for a captivate
[Captivate Accessories] TopDogg1:
wow,not even one reply. at&t is sending me a captivate but it doesnt have a back cover,my tilt 2 keep on acting up and they tried to give me the motorola backflip,i said no way. so they r sending me a captivate for free without the back cover and battery and charger. i already ordered the battery and charger. thx for info
[Captivate Accessories] han.azuki:
aren't you a big boy now
[Captivate Accessories] ozy944:
Dont think you can buy them yet mate. Im looking for one too! Im sick of the portruding Galaxy S logo on the back and dont like the mock carbon fibre look.
[Captivate Accessories] JPS81:
Yeah... I would love a new back without the Galaxy S logo. The faux carbon fiber pattern has grown on me but it really wouldn't go with the argyle TPU case that I'm most likely going to get.

It's like most phones are designed by two teams of industrial designers. One wants to make the phone as sleek and minimalistic as possible, then the other comes in afterwards and slaps as much branding and gaudiness as possible.
[Captivate Accessories] JmanZ:
Anyone want to sell let me know I needed one bad thank you.
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
just get a TPU case and a back cover is not really necessary. Maybe get one thats not translucent...
[Captivate Accessories] Colton5419:
You should be fine for a while with just a standard solid color TPU case, the back of the captivate has a sliding piece that actually holds the battery and everything in place with the back off.

Hell, it even looks cool to have the insides exposed with a clear TPU case!
[Captivate Accessories] jason531:
Just order one from Samsung

I called Samsung today and ordered a back cover. $10.81 and I should have it in 3-5 business days. I was already registered on their website, so I just went to the service request section and chose "other." I was given a phone number and ticket number. It still took about 15 minutes on the phone, but I got it ordered.
[Captivate Accessories] quasio:
would love a real carbon fibre matt back cover!
[Captivate Accessories] :
From the simplicity of the back cover it seems that it wouldn't take much to just fabricate one. The speaker cutouts could be basically any design with the right hand and a dremel tool.

It would look really cool if someone made one from anodized aluminum. There are two contact points on the back though, does this have to do with the antenna for the device?
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
I think it does. It may not, but I know before I'd take the cover off and the phone wouldn't connect to the network. It may just be a coincidence though.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
some phones do use the cover for an antenna, i havent noticed any ill effects without it. ive software bricked many times and ill leave the cover off in the trouble shooting and reflashing process, phone still gets signal.

ok i just dismantled my phone (seriously). there is a cast metal chassis that is atached to the screen. there is copper plating on the back of the plasitic frame in a strip that stretches from one end of the phone to the other under the screws that are above the battery box and appear to help form a connection from the board to the chassis and connect to the round pin that contacts the back cover.

in my experience it appears to be a ground point probably for shielding. the second contact is probably for redundancy, it directly goes to the board but im not going to atempt to trace it's path.

the cover seems to be aluminum for anyone that has the idea of making a new one. or stripping the black off. the galaxy s is a feature stamped into the back. you may be able to mill or file or sand it off but beware you may go through.
[Captivate Accessories] sodomanaz:
Just got off the phone with Samsung. Seems they are out of backplates for this phone at the moment and will be contacted when they're available again.

Stupid me, accidentally dropped the dumb backplate when switching batteries and got a small dent.
[Captivate Accessories] JPS81:
You know what would be awesome? Getting a Giorgio Armani i9010 backplate for my phone.

that's cool man, lol....but hey thanks for the link, I actually found the thread with the official latest RUU and just ran the exe.....thanks though!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
Had the same problem on my phone. took it to an actual sprint repair center and they replaced the lcd.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
First off, sorry, I know this is a dying thread buuuut instead of starting a new one I was wondering;

If you haven't taken your phone in could you post a pic, as best you could, of the burn? I thought this was an issue with my screen as well, but when I took my phone in to the Service Repair Center to have this random reboot issue looked at I brought this up. Guy said it was from pressing too hard on the screen .... now I know I've seen LCD monitors that have had this issue, the result of someone smashing their finger into the screen and it sort of looked like this, but I'm positive this isn't the case.

I've seen pictures of others and it looks like mine, so that's what I thought it must be. Guy basically said, with all confidence, that that was the issue. Then he proceeded to tell me to not put the phone in my back pocket and sit on it. Well, no ****. Unless someone sat on my lap and did this, which is unlikely as I would have instantly removed the phone (also the spot probably would have been bigger) so I'm sure that isn't the case. But I couldn't really argue with the guy seeing as to them, the customers never know what they're talking about.

So I guess, long story short guy said he couldn't replicate my reboot issue and said a new battery would fix it. Suffice to say, that wasn't the case and I was able to replicate the issue in 3 minutes once I charged the new battery up. But; could a picture be posted? I've seen pics, now I'm searching and I'm not finding anything .... here and over the interwebs.

If this thread dies, that's fine, am pretty much at the point I'm just going to go through insurance anyways to avoid any run around.

Thanks if ya can, and if not, no big deal.

/ridiculously long post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defstar11:
sure I'll try and post a picture later.....now on mine it's more noticable on a white screen but it can still be seen on darker screens.....it looks like 2 more may be popping up as well.....I may get **** for this, but I have the best buy insurance and I just took it up to them and they are going to send it in for repair or may junk it out for a new one (im waiting to be called back until they have a loaner phone)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Cool man, yeah I too really only notice it on white / lighter screens. Like I said I guess it could be from pressure but another pic I had seen looked similar so that's why I think that's the case, even though he sounded pretty sure. And I wouldn't sit on my phone lol I baby my electronics to the point of it being almost ridiculous. Thanks for the response.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Ok i had the camcorder working, even in 720p, when the first froyo leak came out. After that I could never get it to work, i didn't care so much at first, but now it is a huge annoyance. Today I even downgraded to 2.1-update1 with the 1.xx.xxxxx radio. The camcorder was working fine on 2.1. Then downloaded the official 2.2 from shipped roms, flashed that, and the camcorder no longer works at any resolution. I press the button and nothing happens... help??? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monoxl1:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
All issues fixed, new file has been uploaded and the link updated

Ok, I like you, am tired of not having anything at all out there to flash and screw around with. I put this together last night and now that we have a somewhat functional clockwork recovery I wanted to give people something to screw around with.

That said, I'm having a lot of issues getting clockwork to properly flash .zips but fortunately there is a ghetto work around until I can look into fixing the issue.

Framework and apps are all deodexed and zip aligned. This is virgin, you will have to enter all of your information again so keep a titanium or mybackup handy.

I advise against restoring any data from apps that were once .odex. So restore your previous information carefully.

Do a Clockwork backup prior to doing this. If you don't then that is your own problem.

What you need:

1. You should be rooted and have clockwork recovery installed.

2. Download this image

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CEIZVMHK

3. Extract the folder to your desktop. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME leave it in the format that it is in.

4. Mount your sd card and open it. You should have a folder clockworkmod > backup >

If you don't then you didn't do a backup. Go back and re read what I wrote from the top and do that first.

5. Open that backup folder and drop in the file you extracted

6. You should see

clockworkmod > backup > 2010-09-15.00.44.56 > with three files cache, data and system .img.

If there is an extra folder from extraction or your directory structure is different it won't work.

7. reboot to clockwork recovery (power off, wait, hold volume down, camera then power until you see it)

8. go to backup and restore

9. restore

10. Select 2010-09-15.00.44.56

The backup will process on your device, once finished hit reboot and you will have a fully deodexed, zip aligned stock rom that you can now customize.

I have done this multiple times without any issues. You can also try a selective backup of just the /system folder and try an retain your /data. This has worked in the past for me, however I did have one incident where it cause a lot of issues and I had to do a full restore to stop the force close.

What do you gain?

Well the rom is a little bit zippier with things optimized a bit and there is a little more RAM available. It is also easier to skin and do other things now that all those pesky .odex files are gone.

If you have a question or issue post it here. Don't send me PM's.

[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
I have to files in the "clockworkmod/backup" folder. On is my backup today, which is 2010-09-14.20.23.11 and the other is 2010-09-14.05.12.51 (3 files totalling 254 Mb).

When I attempt to restore the 2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder, I get the following.

Please advise if this is correct.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Make sure you don't have an extra folder. Sometimes depending on how you extract the files you will end up with an extra folder.

Clockworkmod - should have the backup folder among other things

backup folder -should have the 2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder and your other backups

2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder should have cache.img, data.img and system.img

There shouldn't be any extra folders, that will create an issue with the recovery seeing the files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Aridon, bro. Just flashed. No problems what so ever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
Yeah, all three (cache.img, data.img and system.img) are in there. I have run the restore twice with the extact same results as the pictures I've posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Aridon, the phones feels Snappier by FAR. I'm gonna run Quadrant and Linpack.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Did you do the newer version of Clockwork recovery?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782300

Make sure your directory structure is exactly as it needs to be. I have it bold in the first post. Under Step 6.

If so, try downloading it again maybe its corrupt. Make sure you use winrar or 7zip to open it. Windows built in depacker is ****.
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
I did that exact Clockwork recovery in your link. As far as the directory structure, I know nothing abou that stuff :) I do know that it did successfully restore my original back up just now, so at least that is working for me. I am more than confident I am not seeing something, but I have no idea what. It seems pretty straight forward.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Aridon, got an 8.113 on first try with Linpack and 965 on Quadrant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
Could having the Andromeda Galaxy Kernel v1.3.0 mess up this process at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I had it. No problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Directory structure is easy: Its a giant file cabinet with folders.

clockworkmod > backup > 2010-09-14.05.12.51 > with three files cache, data and system .img.

Open clockworkmod folder on your sd card:

Open backup

open 2010-09-14.05.12.51

You should see 3 files in there (cache.img, data.img and system.img). You shouldn't have to open anything else to see those files. Even an extra step like opening 2010-09-14.05.12.51 twice will mess up the process.(eg. you open it and see another one there and open it and then see the files, that would mess things up).

You should NOT have to open up any other folders, even if they have the same name, it will screw up the restore. So if you had to open 2010-09-14.05.12.51 (or any of the other folders twice or in a different order) that would be an issue.

No. This doesn't make any changes to that portion of the device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
Well sir, you are a great fellow! You hit the nail on the head with the structure as I had the three files within a folder named 2010-09-14.05.12.51, which was located within another folder named 2010-09-14.05.12.51.

Thanks for your patience with a new guy. This and my Evo are my first Android phones and guys like you are making the transition great!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Verified. I'll update the first post and see if I can track it down when i get back home later tonight.

Also the camera is wonky. I hardly ever use it so I didn't notice it. That should be easier to fix and probably a source file error when I deodexed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Alright, I'll keep hunting those bugs down.

Camera is not working bro. Must be the Odexing.

We seem to have had the same issues with the camera and phone after de-odexing. Care to fill me in on how you solved them? Maybe you missed my earlier post in your rush to get this out. Just trying to learn here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lawsofpower48:
no pix of how it looks/>??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Sorry man I totally forgot to send you a PM.

It was actually easier than I thought. The camera path was incorrect and on top of that when the .png's got compressed it caused more problems. So I used secccamera.jar for the path and removed all of the compression and it worked fine.

The dialer issues were caused by the phone.apk compression and for good measure I also decompressed contacts.apk since it was only happening at the end of the call when you normally get that little box. Now that little pop up at the end works perfectly. I don't remember the path I used on contacts but I think it was com.google.android.gtalkservice.jar:twframework.jar there might have been a third.

I'm going to post all of my apks for /system/app and /system/framework so others can freely work off them without going through the hassle.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
