Rest of the apk's I put on there. One of them worked and its syncing now.

As for the clock - I attached a newer one, I might have grabbed a really old one, I really need to learn to delete things!

* And I rebooted after copying everything over.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
go into CWR (power menu - recovery). Once in recover you can find them in there above or below the lag fix options. Its the second to last option in CWR, then somewhere in the next menu

It's always safer to flash to stock first. Just to cover all your bases.

What now?

Hey Mikey, I always wondered what I would do when I got a stable/issue-free ROM, I now know, be bored out of my mind. There's nothing to fix...no need to flash anything, what I am going to do with myself?

My GPS works, battey life is good, no force closings, DL/UP speed is great. I'm so depressed.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
hahah I know exactly what you mean! This rom is too stable and its not so easy to fight my flashing addiction.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Thanks! I used super manager and it appeared to copy it but I can't see it in the folder, I tried repeatedly as well.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Haven't used super manager in a while. Did you enable the root function in the setup menu?

You're trying to install clockpackage.apk, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Thanks for all of that... it is only those two apps. This time instead of a reboot, I shut all the way down and waited for awhile and then when I powered up and went to contact/get friends/add account, it was there!

Thanks!

I saw somewhere earlier in this thread the recommendation to flash from JH7 over due to issues... it might have been posted by the OP. you could do a search of this thread for it.

Is there any fix for the wifi reception? its really poor and slow compared to 4.3... I think this was rebooted when 5.0 was just released?
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
I had some problems with my wifi, narrowed it down to my router using the same channel as my neighbor. After I changed that its been spot on ever since.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Its not that for sure... Didn't have issues like I am having with the phone. I use program inSSIDER 2.0 which detects bands that are around and its definitely not that.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I like to use the "File Explorer" in Eclipse to move files on and off the phone. I happened to notice that once I flashed v5.0 Eclipse could no longer see my phone. I looked and the correct box was checked under development. Flshed over to Stock and I can see the phone. Can anyone else see if they have this issue or did the flash go bad somehow?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I just flashed to 5.0 tonight but when I was on 4.3 I was getting the best battery life I ever had with my captivate. I was getting over 30 hrs easy. I hope I can replicate that with this new version. I turned off bln and activated battery tweaks in cwm. I stay with the same voltage settings for now and tweak from. There. Overall 5.0 feels good. No issues with flash and all aspects of the phone seem to be working flawlessly. Kudos, Mikey.

my first rom flash, i must say this is outstanding, so smooth, gps connects within 15secs, voltage tweaks are nice, just all around good rom to me, i do have two things though that i've noticed were missing or had issues with, first thing is the inability to delete photos from the gallery when viewing photos, no biggy though,and the second thing would be the battery icon, i dont know about everyone else personally but i would really like to see % on the battery. aside from these minor things this is a great rom. thank you
[Captivate Android Development] justmart:
Anyone can teach me the correct process to flash xcalibur kernel on top of this? I have 5.0. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Download the .zip from the Xcalibur thread, then install it through CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] missamy:
I don't know what it is, but this ROM loves me and my phone! My battery is holding a decent charge. This is my third ROM, and I'm liking it!

I would like to use the THANKS button but I don't know where it is! It's not next to the "QUOTE" buttons, so sorry for further cluttering up the thread.

Oh, and hi. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] justmart:
Thank you! Gonna try it.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Best battery life I've ever had. (Between roms)..

One thing is I can't get disable bln to stick after setting it in recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Have not had the same gallery issue as you and as for the battery mod you can find a few posts on various mods in this thread or just hop over to the UOT Kitchen and cook one up yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I too found WiFi horrible, and speed of downloads poor.

I installed the Modem per my sig below, and it is MUCH faster, and WiFi is much better too. Haven't tested GPS yet.
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
I had to get bln control from the market to get it to stick

On my way to 5.0 and I've hit a snag.

Flashed JF6 fine, rooted it and have SuperUser asking for access. Downloaded Rom Manager.

Problem: Rom Manager won't "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It gives a download error. Wifi's going, SD has plenty of space.

Any way I can manually get CWM onto the phone?

Alternatively, can I just rename Assonance_5.0.zip to update.zip and apply that using standard recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Definitely the truth when it cones to assonance, especially 4.3. Obituary approximately 36 hours with normal usage. Right now im trying go work out battery links with axura and if it doesn't work out im going back to assonance.
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
Do not rename the file that won't do you any good. Use this update.zip its a captivate clockwork recovery, just reboot into recovery mode and run the update.zip a couple times til it takes.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Had same issue tonight. Just re rooted.. worked great after that...
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Thanks very much. I'm away laughing (all the way to 5.0 I hope!)

I WAS on JL3 on 4.3 too as well and there wasnt' any difference, I wonder how JK3 can change performance just because the ROM changed.

Sucks.... Oh wellz I will try JL3 now and see....
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I did that and made sure root was enabled. It appeared to copy it to system/app but I couldn't find it afterward. Should I delete the clock that's already present in system/app?

**EDIT** I got it to work, I needed to enable "use silent installer" as well as root function! Thanks for your help man!
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Thanks for the clock app. Much handier for timing my frozen pizzas.

I concur. That international clock app is terrible compared to what the captivate gets.

[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
Just flashed 5.0 and no problems with the wifi issues experienced by others. Excellent overall. More feedback to come.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I reverted too. Not really due to battery life but GPS. Infact I believe my battery life was the best in 5.0. 5.0 ran great.

I gave it a day and GPS still would not work. Yes, even cleared the GPS cache too. I could see 10 satelites but they never got a lock. Even after 30 minutes of driving. I tried all 3 modems jk3, jk4 and jl3. Same results. I could see at least 8-10 satelites but never once got a lock.

I reverted back to 4.3 and first thing I did was check GPS. Inside the house I locked on with in 15 seconds after cache clear and less than 10 seconds there after. This got me thinking. I went back to stock and test GPS again. GPS results were good. Then I loaded JJ4 Optimized with [KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate. GPS was great. Rom works good but I like Assonance.

I restored Assonance 4.3 and all is back to what it was.

I am in no way complaining. Mikey is doing a great job, this is my observation and hopefully it helps out. Thanks Miley.
[Captivate Android Development] PixelPerfect3:
I am using 4.3 and whenever I connect my phone via USB the phone goes into KIES mode. I can't see the option to "choose on connection", "usb mount", etc. anywhere in the settings...seems to have disappeared.
[Captivate Android Development] jaymann22:
So I tried this as my first ROM and it is so much better then stock but I have a problem... I cannot receive any calls.

I flashed the new 5.0 Rom per all of the instructions including the odin wipe. Anytime someone calls me the phone will vibrate once, drop the call and then bring up a FC error but it goes away so fast I can't see what it says. I can see my signal bars all go away and then come back.

Any help is appreciated!!
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
JL3 Made it a little better. GPS looks great too, but this ROM EATS BATTERY FOR BREAKFAST!..... 95% batt before I slept, 7 hours later it was at 9%. 41% battery use on cell standby.... wtf?

Anyone have the same issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Did you have Wifi on?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I suggest a different modem - JK4 seems to work very well for most - there is a modem thread that should have it or just search for the file - easiest would be to get a clockwork flashable zip - unless you are familiar with odin and can get the modem.bin file and flash it that way.. modem.bin file goes in the phone slot of odin

[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
I'd say definitely use JK4. It's been working extremely well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
Its under the wireless and network location in settings. Make sure you turn off debugging as well.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
By any chance did you turn off BLN in CWR? That sucker drains my battery fast as the button light remain lit until you check your mail/sms/etc. Just go into CWR and turn that off and turn on all the battery tweaks while your there.
[Captivate Android Development] artsarts:
Hi I love the rom and all. Its fast and beautiful ii but for some reason I don't know whether its the rom or the kernel but my battery drains incredibly and especially when its in idle. I fully charged it last night and let it standby for the night and my battery is at 35%. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Am I the only person who charges my phone over night? So many people are very concerned on how much battery drains while idle
[Captivate Android Development] artsarts:
I really do charge my phone overnight as well but I was doing a test on it because the battery was draining like crazy when its in standby. Normally it would lose maybe 10% at most in standby overnight not 65% that I had with this rom maybe kernel. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue or know of a possible solution. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Leaving your phone on the charger overnight is what kills your battery, if you want to keep using that phone for more than 1 year I would refrain from overcharging.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
You guys must be having some apps that are sucking power or maybe its your push settings bc I leave mine over night and it max loses 10%. If I turn it on airplane overnight it loses only 2%. So check your apps bc the battery life is freaking amazing. Or just reflash from stock JF6 which some of you may not have. I'll post an ss of my battery tonight so you can see the greatness
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
I think something is going on with this kernel. Yesterday my battery started randomly draining really fast so I let the phone die. Full charge while off over night. Turn the phone on this morning and everything fc'd. Couldn't use anything even the dialer. On lunch I was able to do a system wipe and reinstall from sd card. Dunno why this happened.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
OK do you have BLN turned off? Its on by default. If you receive a text/email/ect your buttons are lit. It will DRAIN you battery fast. So it seems for me. Turn that off and set the battery teaks in CWR.

The only other thing that will do it is lots of widgets/apps updating status all the time. Like K9 email, weather, news, etc.

[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
not true. not true at all
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
Just curious, what if you have the docking station? Does the docking station have something to prevent overcharging.
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Exactly. These batteries have a natural degredation due to charge cycles. Whether you charge half way or fully does not matter. So if you charge at 50% daily two days will kill one charge cycle. Same thing would occur if you let it drain fully over 2 days. One charge cycle gone. Its more complicated than that because of heat and the possibility that with a full battery every day you will drain the phone more knowing you will make until the end of the day.

In the end I use my phone a lot. And I want a full battery daily because of it. If I need a new battery after a year, its only a 10 dollar purchase so its not a big deal. Besides, who knows if I will still have this phone after a year (though this phone does have legs as evident of the specs of the nexus s).

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I've heard both sides of this argument for a while now. What's the data on either end? I'd love to have a definitive answer on this. I keep mine on the charger at night for what it's worth.
[Captivate Android Development] mkoby:
I've been experiencing serious battery drain during the day (due to work emails coming in constantly), and went and turned off BLN in CWM. I have them marked as "disabled" but they still turn on when I get new notifications.

I even downloaded the app from the market and have it set to OFF and it's still turning them on.

Any help? I'm pretty sure I could just delete the files required for BLN, but I can't remember what they are.

I have to second this. Everyone in the Cappy community has been outstandingly helpful and generous. If it weren't for the enthusiasm and support this community gives to everyone who comes here, I don't think this device would have come so far. Merry Christmas fellow geeks.
[Captivate Android Development] mandrsn1:
That is amazing. My battery life has been better than most ROMs, but not great overall. I assume my battery is getting old. Time for a replacement.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
+1 for that. I usually leave mine on the charger at night. I get 10-15 of moderate to heavy use. I have never gotten close to 24 hours unless it was charged fully when I went to bed and didn't charge it overnight. Counting the overnight drain followed by a day's use would be the only way.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If charging over night eventually kills my battery I will replace it, but to be honest I only sleep 5-6 hours a night and I usually put my phone on charger when I am in single digits, so I really do not consider it over charging
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Guys, I believe people who have the battery drain problem is on Assonance 5.0 1200MHZ OC/UV.... People on 4.3 will not have this problem.

Personally I dont' care if you have wifi, bln, bluetooth, etc on. It seriously doesn't affect the battery performance at all and it shouldn't. On 4.3 I have the same configuration and it last 20+ hours no problem with moderate usage. Heavy heavy usage at least 3 hours, meaning playing SNESDROID for 3 hours non stop.

Also I didn't charge overnight because this is the only way to test without usage power drain levels just the ROM and Kernel expend. And its ridiculous.

Also I always drain and charge my phone, I never charge at 50%.

Besides it says Cell Standby 41%, not wifi, not bla bla bla... BLN only drains when it is actually on, and it was NOT on this morning.

This ROM just purely drains really fast... By the way, I have 2 batteries that I swap, so I drain one and charge one, so it probably gone through 1/2 of most people's actual cycles.

Mikey can you help?

** Might be the JL3 Modem, going to switch JK4..... *******
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Not to mention the batteries for these are $30 or less. I've seen a deal with 2 plus a wall charger for $10 on eBay.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I think you misspoke there. For every person who complains there seem to be at least 1 or 2 who say they're getting great battery life. So basically the issue is with you and how you use your phone, your apps, services, etc. And of course when i say "you" I don't mean you explicitly but the general battery complainer group
[Captivate Android Development] daveyian:
My experience with roms and battery drain iss that it is hit and miss. I've only once seen my battery drain slowly. I approached 24 hours on Assonance 3.0

I should have stayed on that rom, gps was the best I've seen too.

I tried a few other roms and tried the same, flash at full charge, back to stock, reset, etc but never saw battery life much better than 12 hours.

I went back to 3.0 and did not get good battery life again :(

With so many comments like "this roms battery life sucks" and "I get great battery life" on the same rom, plus my own experience, I'll say that something either hooks up nicely or doesn't when we flash.

I'd like to see morre discussion that leads to improved results with battery life.

I'm on Assonance 5 now, not seeing good battery at all, gps is decent though.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I too saw a overnight drainage of 10% in 8hrs. Wifi off, blind off, gps off. Then I remember that this is an OC/UV version. Next thing I did isset the voltage at 75 for all and applied the settings. Left my phone alone and did nothing than checking the battery percent (yes I have installed the gingerbread theme jk3 1.1.3). And the battery percent drain didn't go even 1% after 2 hrs. Now its pretty sweet. Fyi... I always recalibrate the battery with every new rims that I flash.
[Captivate Android Development] kryptoniangod:
So this is my very first post in the community, and I wanna start by saying "Thank You" to everyone in this thread as well as the whole Captivate community. Last night I flashed 5.0 for my very first rom and I love it!! I've read everyones posts on their idea of the best way of flashing and applied the ones I thought to be easiest, and except for maybe 2 problems I had in the beginning, I am now running 5.0!! Thank you MikeyMike!!

Now that I am running 5.0 I have just 1 problem that I know of for now. when searching for devices in bluetooth settings, my Jawbone Icon is not found. I had no problems with this when using the stock rom. Has anyone had any problems with their bluetooth since flashing to 5.0? And if so does anyone know of a fix for it? Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to help.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I noticed I was having worse battery life on this ROM vs any of the other ROMs Mikey put out. the one difference I knew of for myself was I was using the stock launcher. I noticed with the stock launcher that everytime I went into active applications, the launcher was one that was running. I've switched launchers now and am not seeing that issue with this launcher... I will report back if it helps battery life.

[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Nah I bought the package from Samsung itself. It comes with a battery, stand, and its a standalone charging unit for $49.99.... So its genuine.... its awesome I love it
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
I'll try that, but it was a 5.0 install straight from JF6... so meh.... I dunno having to deal with the VC FCing all over the place with Setiron's 1.4.7 kernel right now....

But I can tell you think 1.4.7 is SICK.... so far its more stable than 1.4.6 at higher clock speed....
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
0 means that the CPU uses the stock voltage for that set frequency, but if you set it to lets say -100 then it will use far less power to perform the same task at the same frequency. Basically 100 fewer millivolts. Try these tables for starters in the voltage app:

1200Mhz -25mV

1000Mhz -50mV

800Mhz -75mV

400Mhz -100mV

200Mhz -100mV

100Mhz -100mV

Then set apply for now and watch your battery over time. For my cpu those aren't too aggressive and I actually have them lower, but to avoid sleeping death start from something like that bc every cpu will respond differently. Hope that helped!
