That's strange, I wonder if optimizing the apps could have caused some errors, or if this is from the updates that DI01 brought to the apps. I have read testimonies of people taking a hit on battery life after that update. Either way I have the older apps deodex'ed, newer ones deodex'ed, and both unoptimized, and optimized, so if this turns out to be a widespread problem, I can revert back to the older versions.

Hey wicked_beav

OK - that was it. Here is what I did....I rolled back to previous Nandroid backup pre-deodex ROM because I added that Captivate keyboard - and that's where everything started going wrong for me.

I added the new version of Deodex'ed Rom last night, followed by the Frost theme. Fully charged overnight. Woke up, clicked on ROM Manager, Reboot into recovery, Advanced, Wipe Battery Stats, go back, reboot. Just keep the phone plugged in while you do it.

I am currently at 68% battery and have been off the charger since 6:30 AM EST - so about 9 hours - Screen set to 60% brightness, with a bunch of email (have 2 push mail accounts), 45 minutes of call time, 2 GPS status tries -no success :( - and the usual "I cant put down my Android" tinkering, along with Wifi for most of the day....I think that's pretty damn good.

Here are some other notable changes -

@FrostMan89, no force closes since this change...something got effed up somewhere....I really think it was the keyboard but I don't really know...

Lag is virtually non-existent except when that stupid media scanner thing comes on.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
I just tried the Captivate keyboard and man that thing is slow as hell. Definitely sticking with my fave... stock keyboard. Love it!
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
I think I'm having a similar glitch -- was at 41%, rebooted a few times (was playing with new bootup/shutdown sounds and animations) and am instantly at 21%. We'll see if I actually lost that amount of charge or am going to be stuck there too...

Anyone having issues with google calendar not syncing from phone to web. I can update from web to phone. Anyone having issues with this, i noticed this after applying the deodex'ed?
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Hey frost... how do you feel about doing another release but with all the VZW crapware removed like VZW Ringtones, Navigator, etc and just leave the necessary components? I think a lot of people would love a stripped down version and just add back in whatever they would like to use.
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:
Frost - just to let you know, the mediafire link is not working, I believe other people are unable to get it to download as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Works fine for me, but I shall upload it somewhere else as well.

I just thought this thread would get buried though since JT released his ROM which is a lot nicer :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:
Thanks.

I thought about flashing JT's, but I actually am kind of liking TouchWiz, which is weird because with my last few phones I used LP. I guess I just like having the option to use it if I choose.

I've been following JT's thread but it looks like he (unintentionally) cut too deep, many users are getting a lot of Force Closes. I'm sticking with this for now as it has been ronning rock solid. Thanks again for your hard work in putting this together!
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:
I installed this the day it came out and was having issues with the camera and FC's after hanging up the phone, so I restored an old Nandroid(before the fixes came out) DH12. Now when I go to install this newest version through CW, it says that everything went through OK, but when I check what version I'm running in "About Phone" it still says DH12. I didn't do anything different when installing, I put the zip on the SD and went into CW "install zip from SD", the update only takes about 1-2 min to finish, but nothing changes. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? I feel like I've tried everything.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
This just installs the updated apks and jars. The modem and build prop are not included.

What does it mean to be deodex'ed? I rooted my phone, flashed it with D02-Kernel-SV-1200.zip, and overclocked it. So what is deodex'ed? I looked and didnt find. Does it make it faster? I like this theme how do i get it?
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
Let me Google that for you:

whats the advantage of being deodexed? I keep hearing it but I need a little clearing up of exactly what it does and what it effects Thank you:confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] bL33d:
I went this route and works great i actually like touch wiz once u get use to it. the app drawer is so smooth no matter what.

Have noticed a few samsung lwp are fubared after deodex though.

But def thanks alot for this!!

Sorry for bumping this up. I just got a Fascinate today.

Will this MobileAP.apk allow me to share up to 5 users as it should be? Or it's the one that does not work like the stock version?

If I only want to update MobileAP.apk, do I just extract it and drop it to /system/app and that should do it?

Or what is the best way to enable MobileAP (hotspot sharing) for eclair 2.1? Thanks

Thanks a lot

Ill be sitting here till you get it installed.. so just hit me if it acts weird.. im here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JonnieLasVegas:
Thanks, these look nice man. Glad you made the red & that green is so sick too! Gonna have to try the red out tonight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
As soon as i know the green works ill start uploading the rest.. im trying to eliminate some steps.. i think the issue is on MY phone when i save it and then re install it.. its pulling the files automatically from where they WERE not from where they are in the zip.. so when i save the theme i have to figure out how to point it at the correct NEW file locations. If i can do this i should be able to get it down to one step i hope.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gargon01:
Ok, I,m almost there! The main stuff is up and running but I just need to clarify a few things:

1. I don't have some of the apps linked to by the cube icons. Is there a way to link some of those icons to other apps ie the Mario & Luigi pic to maybe Morphgear (SNES emulator) etc....

2. Installed the Green Digi clock but I can't select it from the editor.

I'll keep adding any other problems I have to this post as they come up...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
the clock should pop up automatically if you have it in stalled.. if not.. add a widget and digital clock should be the next to last thing from the bottom.

The mario brothers are just linked to solitaire.. i figured after we got it all running id describe how to delete and add links to whatever you want.. but i wanted it all running first.. but yea.. for now mario should just link to solitaire.

EDIT

Ill go ahead and post it now.. but lets not get ahead of ourselves.. to swap out icons.. just go to home edit.. and double click/hold down a sec.. where the icon SHOULD be.. then click remove.

Then just add a new free link and place it on top of the picture you want to activate it with.. click on remove lables.. then go back to JWMD Icon editor and replace the icon of the new thing you placed there... i.e. morph gear.. and replace the stock icon with the blank icon file.

Clear cache / soft reset ect.. and now your new icon will be there instead of the original (same clickable pic thoug)

When you add digital clock if its not my version i know why.. i placed .png files in the cab instead of _manilla

Im used to building on brute force not using soft install (cab files) so there is a little learnign curve here for me to make it easy to install/uninstall to everyone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gargon01:
No problem,

You've got my phone looking futuristic and I love it! I feel like Tron lol.... Nah almost there, just few little glitches like the digi clock and swapping out a few icons and it'll be complete. Fantastic work, you're a star!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
I just came up with an idea to make this a lil more one click i think... only thing that will suck is i will personaly have to install all the colors and hard reset and do the next and so on.. to get the files all in one pile.. imma try it now with green though.

I think im gonna do all the colors tacchan and dusk both have theres done in.

Make sure oyu post pics here as soon as you lock it down.. im stoked to see the first clone!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
think this might work on vga also
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
What is the max resolution on CHT 2.0 on your phone? we have 1400x800 so im not sure what the cut off is on yours.

The concept is the same.. as long as the icons arent up too high.. worst case.. you can be a hero and let us know .. and if it doesnt.. a hard reset will bring you back to zero.

In sure all the vga guys would be appreciative.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gargon01:
Yeah, just doing like you said and removing unneeded links and replacing them. It's all working as planned, I'd love that green digi clock though so let me know if I've done something wrong. I used the one in your folder and the one from the link you posted and neither show up in the editor. I'll post some screenies once I'm up and running. Good job!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
Yea thats the issue.. i used .pngs instead of manillas.. gimme a sec.. working the other idea.. do you have CFC_GUI ? If so ill give you a shortcut and build the cab in a few minutes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
it says 1440x640

sure i will give it a shot lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gargon01:
No, I don't have any of those image editing apps. Not to worry, take your time, I'll wait for you to cab it up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
ok im almost done with the quick version... ((crosses fingers))

As far as vga goes.. the only problem i can see is either icons being too hight to click.. or mapping being top down.. which would make them too low to click.. either way.. i might be able to fix it.. so let me know if its perfect and if not what problems it has so i can fix it now for future themes.. thanks for being the guinee pig
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gargon01:
No probs, I'm gonna check back here later today anyhow, it's like 3am over here now. Trust me though my screenshots will look just like yours in the first post, it worked! Just need that clock and to make a few minor adjustments and it will be perfect. Thanks for your hard work.

PS The Dot Slider doesn't seem to be working either
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
all im gonna say isssssss gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssss ..i followed your instructions to a T only icon i couldnt find was bing ..the only button that works is the reset device....and the rest you can see
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
im assuming that means no dice.. do we know where it messed up? or is it just ****ed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton5419:
I have been having trouble with the Captivate and Clockwork Recovery:

I've successfully re-flashed to stock using ODIN and reinstalled Cognition 2.1.4 However, I've not been able to load any backed up ROMS or wipe battery stats etc

This is the ERROR:

"Clockwork Recovery v2.5.0.4

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)"

A little help please? I feel that this is going to end in a bricked cappy :( and I love my cappy haha
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
The reason for this is that Cog uses the voodoo lagfix. What this means to the layman, is that converts your entire internal storage area (where all your apps, and the operating system live) into a faster file system than the phone comes with (EXT4). The downside to this is that programs like Clockwork recovery cannot understand EXT4 and as a result cannot read or write to your internal storage.

In order to use Clockwork to backup or restore you must first disable voodoo. I'm assuming your phone is still functional beyond clockwork. If so, what you need to do is open up your "My Files" application (It's a stock app in your app drawer), once you open it open the "Voodoo" folder, hit the menu button and create a new folder- name this folder: disable-lagfix, then reboot your phone. The robot voice should inform you that the lagfix is being removed, allow 5 minutes or so for the process to complete. Once it has been reverted you can use Clockwork recovery freely again, however your lagfix will be disabled until you remove the disable-lagfix folder and reboot your phone. Re-enabling the lagfix will once again disable clockwork.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton5419:
Thank you! I truly appreciate the kind, professional and quick response. This was exactly the problem. I wouldn't have thought that clockwork would have issues with the EXT4 lag fix but that actually makes sense.

Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Sure thing, glad I could help :D Voodoo beta 5 is in the works and it is supposed to add some level of support for clockwork mod, so hopefully some of the confusion that people have is alleviated

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
You better buy that iPhone then.

Sasmsung announced 2.2 in September for the international Galaxy S NOT the captivate or any other US variant. They have clarified this a few times. Last week, they have announced that the 2.2 update for International Galaxy S is delayed until October.

I don't think they care about your ultimatum, but you should have the facts straight before making the threat.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Metallice:
This is the stock keyboard that was included in 7/27 leak. This keyboard has the hide button removed and a bigger space bar. I did not make this keyboard (HTC did) nor can I modify it from this point in anyway. So please don't ask me to make the spacebar bigger or move it around. All I did was extract the apk and odex files from the leak, deodexed it, and then put it into an update.zip format that can be flashed in recovery.

Personally I prefer this keyboard to the official froyo keyboard, as I find the spacebar too small and the hide button is redundant as you can either long press the menu button or press the back button to hide this keyboard. Check it out, you may like it better too. :D

As far as I can tell this only works on Sense Roms with the Sense Keyboard

Flash attached zip in recovery... and that's it.

Sorry, as far as I can tell this will only work on a sense rom. You could try extracting the apk from the zip and installing it through astro or whatever, but I doubt that would work. The best thing would be to make it installable like the HTC_IME mod keyboard, but I wouldn't know where to start.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I rooted mine and my wife's Captivate and the only advantage I saw was getting rid of ATT programs. I was going to send my phone back (becasue I could not OTA update) But since used Kies to do so. My wifes remains rooted . I am back to stock JH7.

I read you can tell the phone where to install programs when rooted but I did not find a way to do that. What are the other advantages of rooting the phone.

We have one Captivate rooted and the other stock.

Came over from unbranded n97 running Symbian. This is all new to me and I hated the 2 weeks with an iPhone. So far I like this Andriod OS but I have a lot to learn. I have read it is virtually impossible to brick this phone with the propoer tools and knowledge that is readily available........true?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Apparently it is not as unbrickable as people think. Some people were seeing stock phones bricking by trying to update the recent OTA. I myself was rooted and had no troubles.

Rooting allows you to play God on your phone. But be careful and backup everything if you do decide to. Best advice, as I was new to Android as well, is to read as much as you can before trying anything.

Most people here are good about answering questions, if you post in the right forum. :rolleyes:

Good luck and welcome!
[Captivate General] excalibur458:
I guess it really depends on what you want to do with your phone. The only reason I rooted was to remove bloatware. Thats pretty much where the benefit ends unless you are interested in loading different ROMs and kernels.

Also, a word of caution: Be careful what apps you load on a rooted device. Root access gives you, and applications read/write/execute access to everything on your phone.
[Captivate General] dynastyice:
I also have a question on this topic. Since the original poster said, he can't do OTA updates after rooting is this correct?

Can you root the phone, take the bloatware off, then unroot the phone? Will the OTA now update?

Or do you have to update the original stock rom with OTA, then root the phone?

Can you root the phone, remove bloatware, then unroot the phone?

Thanks
[Captivate General] droidal:
Ihad no problem updating with my rooted phone. All I've done is root and lagfix.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I rooted my phone......removed all bloat tirf to do the update and failed...Odin back to stock.....failed even after speaking with Samsung and ATT. Of course Samsung said it was not a hardware issue (as if that is all they should be concerned with.)

the Odin process could only be doe ONE way for me and I cut and pasted the method that worked and keep it and a lot of other tips in a Samsung folder on my Notebook. Seems everything but rooting was a hassle until you get GOOD information. That is the hardest think to glean. One has to read ENTIRE threads before they find the solution and not go jumping into the experiments....LOL

A few OPs do update their initial posts with the correct "process revisions"

I likely will root after the maybe someday Froyo 2.2 update. I want to get my wife's phone stock again..........

I finally after ATT decided to replace the phone......download Kies and installed the update that was and all went well. Kies is hit and miss with this phone though, Sometimes it sees it, others it does not.

Funny thing now on my USB selections it doesn't say "Samsung Kies" It says "Samsung Kies (firmware update)" Strange.

Anyway I am a complete noob but I like to learn about the OS as I did Symbian and mess with things now and then. I Am not the type that worries about scratches though. My phones look like war toys. But I usually don't resell them after a a couple generations. I give the previous phones away and keep the current phones as back up for the NEXT phones. The N95s will be given away if we keep these past Oct 20 drop day....
[Captivate General] dayv:
The biggest advantage you gain after rooting your phone is being able to use Titanium to back up all your apps, and Clockwork ROM manager to do an entire backup your phone.

These are nice tools to have, but both require rooting and super user privileges.
[Captivate General] schtuka:
if you ask that question, then you probably shouldn't. rooting is for those who constantly not satisfied with status quo of their phones, for those who like different looks and improve on system and have no patience for OTA.

Example:

I bought MyTouch 3G as 1.5 Cupcake.

Upgraded to CM 1.6

Changed back and forth between Sense 1.5 and Donut 1.6.

Upgraded to CM 1.6 with bits of 2.0

Upgraded to CM 2.0

Upgraded to CM 2.1

Upgraded to CM 2.2

My Captivate will eventually get CM 6.0 I hope soon. Who knows, perhaps Sense 2.X will be ported too.

Oh, and lag-fix, overclocking and future color fix are other pluses.
