[Captivate Android Development] O boy:
So i settled on using 2.5 rom with voodoo and was wondering if there was any difference in battery life between the variations of 2.5 roms you have posted? How would you suggest i recalibrate the battery, I ask because Ive heard of several ways.
[Captivate Android Development] O boy:
last question for awhile does the different 2.5 roms use different amounts of ram or are they all the same in that regard. Sorry for the noob questions back to back like this I just want the best possible experience/mixed with great memory management
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
1. recharge to 100% while phone is on

2. turn phone off, recharge to 100% again

3. reboot to recovery & delete battery stats
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
No one is stopping you from doing that yourself. But being able to use power menu when locked is a MUST HAVE for me.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I have a question:

I always used adw launcher. Whenever I switched ROMs I used to backup adw settings as backup n through tibu and restore.

For this ROM too I did the same. But many apps didn't have their data restored well.

Also, I installed adw fresh from market, customized n exported its settings. Then I reset adw n tried to import. But even now it wasn't able to import.

I didn't face these issues with any of the other ROMs I used or the 2.5 ROMs I used on this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I was/am looking for an option, n clearly mentioned it as a personal preference. Didn't tell to change rom.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
huh, thats kinda odd. i got nothing tho lol.

you could always start from scratch again, it takes what. 7min to go to stock and all the way back to the custom rom. hell, doing it while smoking
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
im finally all back up and running had some serious issues with my computer the last week.

gonna be working on a circle battery mod for this, this weekend. changing some colors around.

btw the keyboard on 3.0 is beautiful.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Welcome back sir.

Yes, keyboard is awesome. And if u cud the circle battery mod back, maybe with green text to compliment other colors here, it would be so very kind of u.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Yes. I did that. Formatted internal sd, went to stock, installed fresh, fresh tibu from market, n then tried to restore my apps backed up from 2.5.
[Captivate Android Development] xterminater07:
I take it that there will be a beta 4 out tonite with the power menu fix? :) Looks good!!
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
He said that he would release a zip file fix for people already on 3.0 beta.

And if updating the 3.0 with power fix, it would be beta 2, not 4.0. I think it would be numbered 4.0 when we move to gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
When we may move to complete Gingerbread. We should beat other ROMS by releasing first...
[Captivate Android Development] xterminater07:
Oh ok so just a fix zip file huh? so I can go ahead and install this one and then just install the .zip afterwards through clockwork?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
That was my logic to move to 3.0 BETA from 2.5 STABLE.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
I was thinking of turning the signal strength bars green also, or putting a green glow on them.

Once I have all that done, i'll pass a CWR flashable zip, and then i'll pass him the actuall framework-res.apk
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I bet the green GLOW would be super sweet.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
This. There will be a power menu fix tonight. Fell asleep last night while working on it with my phone in recovery mode. Lol

That'd be cool. I was gonna do the full green gingerbread signal bars but decided not to since it was a lot of green in that little corner but something with a little green on it would look good.

And it's about time your back...been down in the trenches all alone this week. J/P

I know hd failures really f@^king suck.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Could anyone please check on the battery drain in idle mode?

Pulled from charger at 100%, turned off, and then charged 100% when turned off, turned on, and then charged again till 100%. (It said charge full in all three cases.)

1. Display on for like 22 mins, battery went down to 95%.

2. Wifi set to "never when plugged in".

3. Keep the phone in standby since then.

4. At 2 hrs 16 mins, battery is at 89%.

Looks like the battery went down by 6% while in less than 2 hours of standby. When on 2.5, I didn't have this kind of drain.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
1st thing to try is update ti backup. Im not sure if I included the newest version or not.

2nd on post 653 shaolin posted a fix fore some issues that may arise with sdcard. Im not home so I can't post the fix or see what exactly it is, but its probably a different vold.fstab. it is a clockwork.zip but if your using xcal's kernel, you may have trouble flashing it. If it is vold.fstab

just put it into /system/etc with root explorer or whatever. Use 7zip to open archive or just extract it with whatever you use, then copy to sdcard then transfer to /system/etc. If its something else let me know and ill tell you where to put it.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I used the latest one from market.

I am using ur 3.0 BETA as supplied by u. Didn't use xcal's kernel.

I shall try the sd card fix now, and see how it works.

Still facing issues. Restarting the installing process. Restoring to stock and then installing 3.0 BETA.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
man, its been a bad week, virus, then hdd failure, then the woman is hella sick.

Im just worn out, and looking forward to some veg time in front of the compy3000 (where that from? haha).

but ya, i was thinking a light green glow around the signal bars, otherwise your totally right. its gonna be to much green.

Still thinking of making some kind of video boot animation. I would love to pull something from pulp fiction, turn it black and white, then turn the eyes and lips green. Probably the dancing scene in the dinner before home girl OD's
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
Im at work listening to pandora for over an hour, on full volume (rocking some Rat Pack christmas music, killer!), and i've only used 3% bat.

Have you tried to reset your batt meter, power off, charge to full, power on, turn off, charge to full, power on, power off, power on
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I think the current signal bars would do good. Maybe we could take a look at it again after the battery mod is done to see whether it would be too much green or not.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Formatted internal SD. I am reverting to stock. Will install 3.0B, and then the sd card fix, and then the battery cycle, and see how it goes.

[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
think I finally figured this rom out. I installed setiron 1.4.3 and jl3 modem and calibrated the battery a half dozen times, and battery is holding well. I also chargeed for a few hours past the full notification.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
over charging isn't good. when you charge with the phone off. its the most accurate meter.

Over charging past 100% to much, will make the battery swell. I've see it way to many times, just go to 100% then pull it off.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Can anyone please try restoring some app with data and tell if it gets restored well. Try restoring an app with data from previous version of ROM onto this with tibu.

Most of my apps like xda, google voice, etc are taking me through fresh setup, and act like I never used them before. Either I messed up when backing these up, or they didn't restore well. Other apps got restored well. Crazy!
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Please see the screenshot of an app called "battery level". What do u feel about a batter indicator on similar lines. Simple, and to the task, and its green. Maybe we could check on updating the background.

Putting my imagination to work here :-)
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
I haven't had any problem with restoring the apps plus data with TiBu. do you have a backup on dropbox? maybe trying pulling that down, and restoring that.

Something went corrupt on you im thinking.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
HA, had to read your post like 5 times before it made sense. I could check into using something like that.

Tho, i'll have to look, maybe you posted it up, someone posted a link to a circle battery, that was just dots in a circle around the number. It was simple and clean, i dug it.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
A circle battery in a matching green would make this rom absolutely perfect...the battery icon is the only thing I have found that bothers me with this rom. That and for some reason I can't get battstatt to work...it just continues saying loading...anyone in here get that to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
thats a known problem with JPU

still awaiting a fix

Video problems

Hello,

Im wondering if there is a problem with video decoding or do i just have a bad flash? wont play youtube videos and hangs on video decoding H.264 on a quadrant test. I dont care about scores it just cant run through the test either? Again did I miss something or is it just a bad flash?

Thanks again.:)
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Oh ok thanks for the quick reply...i can give up on installing over and over again now...lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Chillyw:
Just installed B3. Was choppy at first, but I was using wifi on first boot. Once I put in my SIM card & restarted, it started working great. Nice so far. :)
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
just checked with my phone. no problems with video playback at all. must be a bad flash. sorry :(
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
lol...di11igafs just PM me too at same time. Thank you. Will re-flash when I get home, no prob. weird though....

lol, thanks momulah! lol, fans are pretty cheap :p
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I had this same issue. It sucked, but at least the TiBU backup saved me from needing to remember which apps I want. I'm not sure if it was a di11i ROM 3.0 issue or a crappy TiBu restore.

Does anyone know any themes that are 2.5 compatible? Just looking to change up the look a little. Something like darkness would be ideal.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Anything you find for xxjpu framework should work
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
He said for 2.5 not 3.0 so don't use jpu based themes.

sent from my cappy running Di11igafs Rom 2.5 overclocked at 1280 with JK4 modem!!!

Anything simple n clean works... :-) next time I'll try to go easy in my sentences.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Disregard my last post. For 2.5 just any jj4 captivate theme will work
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Is anyone facing any issue downloading n installing stuff from the market. About half the times it downloads but doesn't install. Faced this once in a while on 2.5. More frequently on 3.0 beta.

I'm using the new market app bundled with this rom. Tried updating the market thru sgs tools. Still the issue persists.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
lol, haven't downloaded anything off the market. I generally use app brain. i hate browsing the market on the phone lol.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Am not sure what's causing this. Am going back to stock and installing 3.0, for the 4th time now since last night. Would be installing all apps manually now. I just hope ALL things start to work properly now.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Any way to get the aosp version of th notification bar into this rom? The one from cronus.

Sent from my an XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
havent had 1 issue downloading anything from the market. not even a stutter. pretty sure thats probably just a market issue in general as it happens to me every once in a while no matter what rom im on, stock or not. you can try reflashing but i doubt it has anything to do with the way the rom flashed. youll get the same results by just rebooting your phone. or, delete update.id from your internal sdcard, then reboot your phone. this will make the android.id script assign a new random id to your phone.

and im getting ready to upload the fixed power menu. just optimizing the framework more before i post it. i promise this time.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Battery holding up pretty well with some pretty aggressive use for about 8 hours straight on 2.5.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Ok. This is what I did now:

1. Restored stock

2. Formatted internal SD

3. Booted into clockwork recovery

4. Installed 3.0 beta

5. Without rebooting, applied the SD card fix

6. Let the phone start up, didn't select any launcher, and did a straight reboot

This time phone came up, and looks like the market issue fixed itself. Am not restoring with TiBu this time though. Going through the manual process of restoring stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I got rid of Tibu restores too. I only really use about 30-40 apps anyways so it takes only about an hour to reinstall all of them from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
*looks around confused* What? no TiBu? *shakes uncontrollably on the ground in the fetal position*
[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
I've ported over a Gingerbread theme that is compatible with 2.5 ONLY. All I did was take my favorite parts from darkness and gtg465x's gb theme. So all credit goes to di11igaf, Reefermattness and gtg465x. This theme includes green signal indicator, green signal bars, green battery with percent, black menus, and other things I can't remember right now. I also included the lockscreen toggles from the darkness theme, which di11igaf is using in 3.0. I also included all the animations from 2.5 (use spare parts to speed them up or settings>display>animations to turn thm off).

To install copy the framework-res.apk file into system/app. Don't forget to backup your framework and rom before applying. I take no responsibility for any issues that occur.

I have applied this to 2 different captivates running 2.5, so I know it works.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
A small suggestion, if feasible:

Would it be comfortable for everyone here to have the devs create a new thread when moving to a major release, like from 2.x to 3.x. It would help eliminate cross communication.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I am not sure if this is due to an updated version or TiBu or what. Maybe we could backup with TiBu, delete the app, and try restoring the same again to see if that works.

And like I posted earlier, not all apps are messed up. Like about 60% are getting restored well.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
ok heres the power menu fix. you can do this manually with root explorer, or flash with clockwork. the problem is, xcals kernel sometimes does not like flashing things in recovery, so it might not work. im attaching setirons 1288mhz 1.4.7xt kernel for those who want it, or just flash it with odin in the pda slot just to use the working recovery to flash the fix. pull the .tar file out of the .7z that is attached to this post. then flash the power menu fix. this rom is extremely fast with this kernel. seriously.

to do the fix manually, use 7zip, right click on the .zip, open archive, open the /system folder and copy the whole framework folder to your sdcard. then go into root explorer and go to the sdcard and open the framework folder that you just put there. hit menu, multi-select, select all, then copy. now navigate to /system/framework and hit paste. after you do this DO NOT do anything else except hold the power button and press POWER OFF. when the phone completely shuts down, turn it back on. problem fixed.

its recommended if you do it this way to go back to /system/framework and change all the files in this folder's permissions back to 0644. in root explorer this would be:

User: Read, Write

Group: Read

Other: Read

power menu fix:

Tried to install the zip through clock work recovery:

E: failure at line 4:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

I have 3.0 BETA as distributed on my phone, and nothing on top of it.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
ya its the clockwork included in xcals kernel. your gonna have to do it manually or flash setirons kernel to use the recovery included in that
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
oh God! So now I would need to do manually! I'll give it a try... * fingers crossed *

Copied manually... Turned off.

Taking pretty long to boot up... still waiting...

Came up just now. Gotta check the reboot and reboot recovery options.

Wowzers!!!!

1. Reboot - Worked like charm!

2. Reboot Recovery - Worked like charm!
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I replaced the framework manually with the one posted and I still got nothing but a soft reboot when trying to reboot into recovery using the power menu...
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I just tried reboot and it gave me nothing but a soft reboot...are you sure yours went through the full reboot process when you hit the button?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Try shutting down, and not reboot, like digi said earlier. I shut down after manual copy, and it works great!
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
You replaced it with the one I posted? Did you replace just the framework-res.apk or all of them. Also you didn't just long press on the framework folder and then just paste it on top of the framework folder in /system/framework cause if you did it this way you will just have another framework folder inside of /system/framework.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Yea I have tried completely shutting down three times already...I replaced the whole framework so I am not sure what the problem would be since yours is working...
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Oops, abt that thanks. Wrong button. Wish there was a button to undo thanks too.

Second, u r supposed to copy the contents of framework folder and place them into the folder. I think the framework folder has a couple more files, along with the ones getting overwritten. But even in this case, only the copied files should get over written.

Please check the contents of framework folder on ur phone, and see if they are exactly the same as the ones u extracted. I think the phone should have more files than the ones u just copied.

Edit: I just now checked the files in my framework folder, and the ones that I copied. Both are exactly the same:

Files: 23

Size: 15.3 MB (16,096,147 bytes)
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You are both very much correct...it was user error as usual lol. After doing it the right way everything is working perfectly...thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Hey digi, I think there is some issue in wi-fi connections.

I use this widget called "dazzle" to turn wifi on and off.

Sometimes when the phone is restarted with wifi still on, it comes up, and wifi isn't on. When I turn it on manually, I see that the network is sometimes not present. I need to add the network again. It looks like I had never connected to the network before.

Not sure if this is due to this widget since I am using this only since the last 3 days. Didn't use for significant time on 2.5 to comment on that part, but didn't face an issue for the 1-2 days I used it on 2.5.

On 3.0b its like 6-8 hours now, and I just now added the network for the 3rd time now.

Stuck after power fix

Maan, I am running 3.0 with setirons 1.4.7 1288 and I flashed the power fix through clockwork. It flashed then rebooted and now will not go pass boot screen. I waited 5 minutes then pulled battery to restart. Same thing couldnt get pass boot screen. I had no backup so I just did a wipe data/factory reset through clockwork and afterwards its still doing the exact same thing. I'm stuck since im at work and I know once im home I can master reset and reflash through odin but what do you thing went wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
It takes quite some time. Gotta be patient. Takes like 5, guess more than 5 mins by the time the phone gets booted up.

Hadn't I had the trust on digi (well, been interacting with him here quite a bit of late), I would've thought something cracked somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:

Hey after I flashed back stock through one click I tried flashing back 3.0 through CWM but it wont flash stating no sd partition blah blah blah...If I look in file explorer it doesnt show external_sd and shows sd plus another sd with all my files stored in the second sd.
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
i have never experienced that with any rom. i flashed to stock then flashed beta 3.0 with no problems. try reflashing to stock again

i want to put a custom wallpaper image onto the internal card but i can't figure out how to change the usb connection from kies to mass storage. it is usually found on settings - applications. the development/usb debug option is still there, but i can't find the mass storage option anywhere :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
USB settings are under settings, Wireless and networking, then usb settings. I have mine set to ask on connection, then you will have options when you plug in. Make sure bebug is not on to get options on connection.

I'll see if i can replicate that. Sorry been busy hand editing pngs pixel by pixel in photoshop. omg long process
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
i can confirm dazzle does not work on 3.0 beta, sorry diablo. well at least for the wifi, didn't test anything else. back to editing png for the theme :)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Oh. Can u pls let me know any alternate prg like it, if u happen to know off hand, that does the work in non intrusive way like dazzle.
