[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Tayu's been working on his rom project and I haven't seen any update about a theme so if you could do that I'd be your test dummy ;)

My combo that I love is Tayu's black UI with a green blackbar evo4g look and a specific batterymod.

LuckyX2 what tools did you use and/or tutorials for doing all this stuff? I'm finding myself geeking out with Linux a lot more and even made it my host OS on my laptop.

I've been doing the Setiron kernel with the config tweaks (i/o scheduler, vm kernel optimization, etc...) and it's much faster than when I was on JPM. The lagginess and hesitation has been greatly reduced. I'm also running the lagfix with Advanced frs-free w/ext4 partitions and the only i/o hangup i get is when I install apps and even that has been greatly reduced.
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
To be honest, I just kinda took a guess at how to do this and what do you know; when I flashed it to my phone it worked! I basically took Tayutama's Rom, unzipped it, replaced and added files and then zipped it back up. I don't know if you've ever looked inside an update.zip file but there's a folder inside if you unzip it called META-INF that has a script in it telling the phone where to put what. So I figured as long as I'm not putting anything anywhere that the script for Tayutama's rom isn't, then I should be ok to just use that script. Now I'm assuming that if I used a script from some update.zip that just updated the kernel then no matter what other files I may put in it would only copy over the kernel when installed. As for making your own update script, I don't know. I'm sure that requires some sdk knowledge of which I'm no help.

So here's an example: When I go to update this with the right keyboard and Setiron 1.1.1, all I will do is unzip the current one, replace the 1.1 kernel files with the 1.1.1 files, delete the current android keyboard apk and paste the LatinImeGoogle.apk in the same folder where I deleted the android keyboard apk and then zip it back up. Get it?

Maybe one of the pros can chime in but I think my logic is ok here. I mean it worked and all...
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
Sorry I missed your question earlier. Yes you can use odin but for those who find update.zip's easier you can use the update.zip provided on Setiron's thread which has the kernel and the modem. You don't need to flash the kernel but all it's doing is flashing the kernel over the same kernel so nothing changes. You'd really just be using the update.zip to copy over the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
I tried that and only copied over images and yet I was getting FC's on some of my main processes. I never touched the .xml files or messed around with anything. The only thing I can think of is that Tayu and those guys zipalign their apks so I'm debating trying out this apk manager they use.
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
The first time I put this together acore was fc'ing like crazy but the second time it worked. Go figure huh? The only thing I can think of that may have had an effect was there was a file in Setiron's kernel update.zip called NOTICE which I copied over the second time but not the first. I'm not too sure though.

Again, maybe a pro could chime in on the correct way.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
:] saw the update to 1.1.1 downloading now!

lol i know you just uploaded it right now.. or something buh.. don't forget to update the thread title!
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
When will the download link be back up and working? I'm curious about how this rom runs. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
download works fine for me.

[Captivate Android Development] emjee87:
Can anyone currently using this provide any information on how that battery life is faring? Worse/same/better than stock 2.1 or 2.2?

Also, I'm still a noob when it comes to this stuff...I have no problem installing ROMs and whatnot, but when it comes to altering them in small ways, I usually try not to mess with it so...does this come with Swype functional? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
Yep swype is included.

As for battery life, I was getting great battery life last night while still on the JG8 modem. Then I flashed JPP, charged overnight and now it seems to be draining faster. It's been 4hrs 32min since unplugged and I'm down at 66%. I did just get off of an hour long phone call though, so that hit it pretty hard. I'm going to charge it fully and do a recalibration of the battery to see if it's actually draining as quickly as it says.
[Captivate Android Development] emjee87:
Thanks for the info! Could you please explain (or point me in the direction of an explanation) as to what JPM and JPP means/does? I've gathered that they're names of modems, but as far as which one is better or what the differences are, I can't really tell...
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
I think the battery drain is just picky whenever we flash.. I think recalib is necessary every time we do a kernel flash or something.. :/

It sucks cause if we flash alot and do recalib alot lol our battery would suck
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
You're on the right track. I just skip a step and use 7zip to edit the .zip in place. I have my own custom version of all this mashed together as well. I may upload it at some point even.
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
Thanks. That's pretty much what I did, minus the wait 2 minutes part. I just flashed the latest version of the kernal (build 136) to see if that helps any. As I am at full charge now, I'll try the recalibration again and see how it holds up tonight and tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
No. Some consider HSUPA to be 3.5G. AT&T calls HSDPA to be 3G, which translates to high speed Download. HSUPA is high speed Upload.

You will not see any difference in any on-screen indicators. The indicator could be 'H' or '3G', in AT&T they mean the same.

To see if HSUPA is working, do a speed test. If you get an upload speed higher than say about 300kb/s then you have HSUPA. Definitely if you see a meg or faster upload.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Wow, that's cool!

In particular, you can display if HSUPA is available/active with that code.

But I agree, the ability to turn off HSUPA seems sort of pointless.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I actually tried this and when I open maps from a cold start I get a lock just like that. Even tried navigation and it was spot on. I definitely recommend this.
[Captivate Android Development] iceman718:
Looks really nice so far!

Only suggestions I have are adding a Captivate dialer and the ad-blocking scripts.

Other than that, it's great.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Holy **** this is the best Captivate ROM there is. No overclock or anything and I'm running 2424 in Quadrant with a filesystem tweak! Holy crap! That's inching towards twice the speed of the Nexus One!

Too bad stock Android launcher isn't there - I hate ADW.

Add in full HSPA and I'm one really happy camper. Getting my phone essentially labeled an i9000 is a bonus too - free apps! :)
[Captivate Android Development] RUMC:
Quick question, I have 3 apps that are stucck on Installing, in the market. It wont allow me to stop the install. How do I cancel them, so that I can try to re dl them?

They are OCLF, Flash Player and Google Maps.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
When I try to tether my phone to the computer, it drops out after less than a minute. That's using the USB tether setting in mobile networks. Is this at&t figuring out I'm initiating a tether?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Could have something with the market maintenance for the developers thats going on. Or, it could be something to do with your ID.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Actually I think there is a 1.2 ghz overclock because of setiron's kernel (correct me If I'm wrong). And also lagfixes mess up quadrant scores so they aren't really accurate...
[Captivate Android Development] Freexter:
anybody testet the superslimversion yet?how speed?snappy and fast?thx
[Captivate Android Development] kr3w1337:
Where is the super slim version of this rom? I am using this thing with the latest kernel right now and it's doing pretty good.
[Captivate Android Development] Lertets:
mine was doing this as well.

try clearing the data for the market from "manage applications"

this seemed to have worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Lagfixes don't mess up Quadrant scores - if you put on a lagfix and run Quadrant, you'll see it fly through the I/O tests - its because of the faster filesystem in use - that is what makes the Quadrant score go up.

And yes, there is an overclock but I turned it off.

The only problem I'm having is that the screen keeps turning itself on when I'm on calls and I hang up on people. Known issue or is this something that can be fixed? I hung up on a friend twice today.

There is one other issue - it keeps telling me my database is full?!?
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Oh ok thanks but how did you get quadrant score that high?!? Can you please post your specs including your specific lagfix?

And what database are you talking about and when does it come? I don't have this issue so thats interesting.
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
Hello and thanks for the hard work! I believe this is my new favorite Rom for my cappy! I've only had stock and cognition on mine before, so I'm not very familiar with all the new options. So a few questions (and I've read all 20 pages of the thread a few times) before asking:

1) How can I tell if Sztupy's lagfix is enabled? I rebooted into Cwm recovery after the initial install, but didn't see any extra options to choose a lagfix.

2) Is there something special I need to do to get BLN working correctly? Was that also an option I was supposed to have in cwm?

3) Now (for example, when flashing cwm recovery from within rom manager) do I choose the I9000 model instead of the Captivate?

I'm going to keep reading through the SetiroN thread for answers, but I thought it someone could keep me from spending hours reading and trying to "reinvent the wheel" so to speak if they know my issue.

Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I think it has to do with my lagfix I chose to be honest. I used the overkill ext4/ext2 fix that uses cache and a database... I'm going to convert it to something more conservative and I'm sure I'll see a drop... but I get 56 FPS on the game level of an3dbench and an overall score of 7020... which is insane.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
By the way, battery is draining abnormally fast.

I checked my time without signal and it says 100% :/

Just being on the phone for 43 minutes and having the phone on standby the rest of the time I'm at 42% battery life 13 hours later.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I you are using JG8 modem, that's common. Try to flash JPP modem and reset the battery stats after a full charge.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I figured that's what it was but right now my phone is showing it being on 850 band 5 and from what I understand if I flash JPP without doing the modifications while on a 2.1 ROM (can't do em on a 2.2), I'll lose my 850 band WCDMA.

EDIT: I flashed the JPP modem and followed the instructions on SetIrons' page - this caused the phone to have lots of FC's so I wiped data and cache with Clockwork, then reflashed both the ROM and the modem and now I've got HSPA on JPP modem.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Using this ROM, I hold all the records for the fastest Galaxy S device on GLBenchmark - I ran every single test and topped all the other results.

http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedet...11&D=Samsung i9000 Galaxy S&testgroup=overall

That's without any tweaking.

The processor really does perform poorly when stacked up against the Evo though in raw performance... why is that?
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Yeah I was one of the first to start using the OC/UV, Universal Lagfix with Tayutama's ROMs... Since then I have converted to Setiron's because he compiled the re-oriented kernel into it. Unfortunately the truth is, re-oriented's kernel is really not that fast when you compare to the actual i9000 kernel. Yes bla bla re-orienteds based on i9000, but still its not exactly perfect and I dunno if it ever will be.

But the battery drain is pretty bad. I watch TV on my Cappy and I literally can see the battery drain. By using flash I can burn through the battery in less than 1 hour, almost 2minutes I can burn through 1% of battery life. Granted its running flash, streaming the net and full screen with almost full brightness... Talk time is almost the same as bad, maybe every minute I burn through 1/4 percent on my battery. I did UV and OC as well, but there is really nothing we can do at this point.

I don't have that problem with the proximity that you have during calls, maybe the UV is slow the proximity sensors reaction time? Else everything runs perfect. I am using lagfix overkill Ext2/4/bind, JPP. So far I like the phone, but the battery is not enough... We need the LiPoly batteries I swear.

The EVO I think is the same chipset as ours. It is quick though, but with the ROMs, we have a good chance... I haven't ran into any apps I could run smoothly.... except some ROMs on PSX lol
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Hey Remnant, which lagfix do you think is the best 1) conservation wise and 2) overall (equal amount of performance and conservation)

Right now I have No-RFS Advanced and am wondering if I should swith to no RFS standard.
[Captivate Android Development] ProBoner:
So last night I loaded the latest cog 2.3b6 rom and it worked great!

But in trying to put the sexy theme on this rom over on the cog rom, messed it up. I got the icons to work but the drop down is where I messed up.

I did notice something while I had that cog rom on the phone for a while, why does this tayutama rom have a version of swype without a mic?

Is it a limitation on i9000 roms or something? If not, can somebody post a link to the better swype with mic?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Ok, I've read all of this thread and all (yes, all 100+ pages) of the thread for SetiroN's kernel.

Some questions:

Any reason this is set to overclock by default? Seems you could get screwed upon reboot if your particular device didn't like 1.2GHz. I don't want to OC and would turn this off.

850MHz works fine after flashing the JPP modem after this? I've read and believe I understand how to do this. 850MHz is critical for me.

I saw the mention that Doc's ROM uses a newer Froyo than this one. Why not use the newest Froyo for this ROM as well?

Any reason this is using such an old version of SetiroN's kernel?

What's the final verdict on using a bluetooth headset? Does it work now?

What's the final verdict on using a wired headset to make calls? Are you SOL and this will never work, or is it working now?

Have all the charging issues been resolved at this point?

What other things are issues and/or just don't work with this that are normal and simply things you have to live with?

Does Home Switcher indeed not work? I don't want to use ADW... I'm a LauncherPro Plus (paid) user and I'd want to continue with that.

And finally: with the official, final Froyo for the Captivate just around the corner (next 2-3 months probably), should I just wait for that?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Ok I'm just going to answer to the ones I know. Overclcoking can easily be disabled with voltage app. 850 MHz works fine for me. I also want to know why the newer froto isn't being used (OP please answer). An old version of non is not being used. 1.2.6 is the newest (stable) release. What I mean is the the 1.3's are all undergoing testing (hence on the title it is kernel 1.2.6/1.3.5). It's your choice if you want to wait for official fray.
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
Votage control

Hi, if you want your phone to run at 850mhz what freq should I put the control on. I dont want to oc it seem unstable at the default setting. I been have som random shut down while making phone call, can some one point me in the right direction..
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:
Bricked my captivate, my own fault, any help would be great

flashed the rom, installed no problems, ran fine. Dont think I understood how to do that lag fix correctly.

I thought the quadrant score was a little low, so I installed the oclf from the market, re-booted my phone. It will not get past the Samsung boot screen.

Download mode will not work, I have tried every possible method to into download mode with no luck.

If I hold power and the volume up, its just continually restarts.

I tried, the every method for entering download mode.

Help?

Update:

Found this:

Saved my stupid little butt.
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:
Stupid question

Sorry in advance, still learning and since I'm the only one asking, I'm guessing i should allready know the answer:

How/where do choose/install the lag fix?

I go back into recovery and dont see anything.

What am I missing?

I tried the OCLF from the market and that bricked my phone for a day.

Have the rom running good now, but when I ran quadrant I got a 1100, my worst score ever, I'm guessing the lag fix will help this.
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
What's you download the update.zip that contains clockwork recovery into the root of your internal sd card you can boot into the 2e recovery and install clockwork recovery. There is no need to root or login to your google account. This is what I do and flashing roms becomes very fast and easy.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
The lag fix is already installed in the ROM.

Go into recovery and scroll down to advanced ULK features, then scroll down to Lagfix options. I've read a few times that "Use no RFS Advanced (a=e4)" is the most stable(it is currently what I am using and have NO issues at all). When you select and back out to reboot, it'll say your config has changed, and I pick the first option, then reboot.

Also: I would not put ANY faith in what you see from Quadrant, it is not designed for the CPU's we have, so the numbers you see are completely abstract. IF you feel compelled to do any benchmarks try Linpack
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:
Thanks

Thanks I will give that a shot.

I re-flashed to stock, I'm sure the modem was working right for me.

When I run a speed test it was really slow, and most of the time it thinks im in Kansas, even when it connected to my local area, it was crazy slow.
[Captivate Android Development] skipper86:
JPP Modem question

Okay, first of all I love this rom. I am on AT&T edge only area. I am trying to flash the JPP modem. I have downloaded the file, unzipped, it, and go into download mode with odin open. When I try to select the JPP modem.bin under the PHONE section, it only has options for .tar or .md5. I have read through the whole thread and do not see this issue listed. I am certain it is something fairly simple that I am missing, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.

Also, is there a way on the phone to see which modem is installed?

Thanks for helping, and thanks for the ROM, so much better than stock AT&T.

In my phone setting it says

firmware version 2.2

baseband version I9000XXJPM (I am assuming JPM modem, not JPP)???

kernal version 2.6.32.9 reoriented #36

build number tayutama edition v 1.0.3 - captivate
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
To check the Modem dial *#*#1234#*#*. The Modem is "Phone".

I don't have a fix for you, I usually use CWM to flash my modems.

Take a look at the new JK3 modem. It's starting to look very good, better than the JPP.

[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
How do you figure that Quadrant has no bearing for our CPUs? They are Cortex A8 processors just like the Qualcomm processors - the problem with low scores was in fact the RFS file system that Samsung chose to use - that was the only thing hampering the device.

And if you must benchmark - get GLBenchmark and run all of them - with RFS on and RFS off - huge difference in scores.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
My mistake, I thought Quadrant was designed more in line for the Snapdragons; and that the Hummingbird's were different. I do remember hearing about the RFS file system, thanks for the correction
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
In the zip, there is the .tar file. Unzip it first and then put it on your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] skipper86:
I cannot find the tar file, I only have a bin file. I redownloaded and still the same thing. Could you point me in the direction of the file that has the tar file?

1.4.1

Hello,

I am loving this ROM! Stable, fast, nice additions, don't miss any of the deleted bloatware. It is very crisp and clean. Excellent!

Has anyone tried SetiroN v1.4.2 kernel on this ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] krl66:
Yep. Threw it into the zip file along with the JK3 modem this morning and flashed it with CWM. Works like a charm! i dropped it in favor of doc's jp8 v9 though because its a bit faster and i like the androdena theme better, but it works beautifully with the 1.4 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] dcfnet:
tried to flash 1.4.1 through Clockwork, froze up on "Galaxy S I9000" splashscreen. Applying CW Restore to known stable backup....hopefully start over without building from scratch. ARG, looks like post-restore is freezing at same place....
[Captivate Android Development] krl66:
If its your first load of the 1.4 kernel it has to be flashed from a fresh OneClickOdin to stock or it just hangs at the screen you're describing... tried it three times in different ways, finally gave in and flashed OneClick to stock first and it worked. Oh, and when it hangs at the splash screen like that I just Odin-ed a copy of 1.3.5 and didn't have to do the whole restore thing.
[Captivate Android Development] skipper86:
Thank you so much. I got this to work no problem. I really appreciate everyones help.

Battery life on this rom with Setiro's 1.4 kernel and JK3 is amazing! 23hrs and 51% battery life left with moderate usage. And not even using a lag-fix bc my phone's not lagging! :D

Really? I haven't moved to 4.0 because I heard many issues. Are you having any? And do you know if jk3 modem or Jpp Noam has better battery life?
