So lagfixes don't need to be disabled before using odin?
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Mikey,

Thanks for the quick fix on the DRM issue... Flashed 2.0 last night and am really happy with it. I checked out that launcher you suggested but will stick with yours and the TW variant I posted pics of a few pages back.

I've used SGS Tools to run some tests and the GPS is hooking up great, also took a drive while it was 1.2 and it tracked very well... not perfect but better than any other fix.

No issues with changing towers and am getting WCDMA 850 as I write this. I also have limited it to just the WCDMA bands as I live in a place with plenty of good signal.

At this point the only thing that hasn't connected yet are the images to contacts.

Thanks for all the work you've put into this and the quick response to issues. I think I can stop looking.... for a while!

Any chance you could drop the nexus clock apk?
[Captivate Android Development] SthWarr:
I've got 1.2 flashed and loving it so far. Smoother than Perception and my phone tastes less of bacon...

One question: Since I prefer battery life over processor speeds, I always limit the OC in Setiron's kernel to 1ghz, but the settings don't seem to be sticking for me in this ROM. The scheduler is bfq, and I select "Apply for now" and then "Save as boot settings" and then reboot. I go back into the Voltage Control app, and the settings have reverted to default (Limit Max clock to 1280mhz).

I didn't see anyone else mention this, so I figure it must be my problem. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
does anyone have a mirror or zip of 2.0? Can not access multiload while at work.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Ok, weird. I just tried droid explorer again, and now the files in init.d aren't showing up, great. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] pimpnmaxima:
hey guys I use to have MikeyMikes V19 then I moved to Axura. I love the menu animations with Axura and the themes but the it seems kind of hard on the battery. I have noticed the Assonance has pretty good battery from reading all the comments. Can I have the same menu animations with Assonance?
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
Don't think so as the two roms are based on different sources and Framworks will not be compatible w/customizing it with all of Axura's content
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yep. I posted the same thing only a few posts ago.

I am told we need the 'stock framework-res.apk', not a modded one from a theme, which apparently is what is on this ROM (ie Gingerbread Modded Theme).

Not sure how to get it, or if it would then screw up this ROM.

I reallyi want the Circle though. Hopefully an answer will come along.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yes. It is nice working with helpful and polite people.

I understand how some people can get frustrated when the work a thread a lot, and see the same questions over and over, but they can be real jerks. When I experience that, if I'm that frustrated, I just don't answer, and move along.

Back to the subject...

This ROM is looking real nice. Only issue I have had is Google Voice FCing when setting it uip. But I experienced that on Perception also. My only other thing is the Circle Battery, but that is not a 'problem' with this ROM.

I'll post back a more comprehensive review of how its going after a bit of use and testing.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
1.4.3 what? Voltage app? Kernel?

Is that easily found?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Kernel.

I think I have it on my computer. I got all kinds of stuff going back to Super Rooter Extreme.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
When I had 4.3 I pulled the apk out of that and used it.

I flashed the file I made from 4.3 and it worked I have the battery but it changed the wifi and cell data symbols back to the old one. I have tried repackaging the flash file with the images but it doesn't change back to the new images.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Is it Worth It?

I have a brand new Samsung Captivate rooted, and Clockwork on there.

I have created a Nandroid Backup of my Stock ROM via ROM Manager.

I have enabled third-party applications but my main question is what are the benefits of this ROM. By reading through all of this everyone seems to love this, and how stable/fast it is.

But is it worth me using this ROM, if I use it I can always flash back to my Stock via Nandroid restore but I just wanted to hear y'all opinion about this ROM and if its worth it or not?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tonysunshine:
If anyone is interested here is a flashable zip I made with the modded framework-res so the battery shows the percentage.

I started with the framework-res.apk from ass 4.3, cooked it using UOT, then went into the apk using winrar and pulled the battery images and dumped them into the framework-res.apk from ass 5.0 then put the whole framework-res.apk back into the zip, signed, and flashed.

I think you can easily do this with the other kinds of batt mods from UOT no problem
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Has anyone tried GPS much? I flashed Assonance 5, with JK4 and xcalibur's 2.2.1, and I can't see but one lonely satellite. This worked fine on Assonance 3.1 with JK4, and xcal 2.2.0.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I don't know from experience but you should be able to use the update.zips on the OP of the perception thread to get whatever animations you want considering it is also jk3 based...

Worth every minute it takes to flash it. Right now no other rom in my opinion is better than this one.

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Yes I know that, I have read a lot and everything points that this is the best ROM, my question is, is it worth it to flash instead of the stock ROM with 3rd party apps enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Initial Feedback

Full Disclosure: I'm coming from Assonance 4.3 so I suppose I'm a bit bias to this rom.

Fast, stable, clean and pretty. GPS isn't locking as quickly as it did with 4.3. I'm going to flash the JK4 modem to see if that makes a difference. I like the new market - it's just a nice change. I don't know if the white on black pulldown menu is ginger or not, but it's much easier on the eyes as well. I'm draining my battery as we speak and will give feedback on the battery life tomorrow once it is fully charged again and I have cleared the stats. I personally much prefer LP to TW so I'm running that.

This is my second cappy as I traded in my first one after it had random shutoffs twice a day.

Love the work Mikey - best rom out there IMO.

THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Depends on whether or not you want to run Froyo since stock cappy's are still on 2.1. Also depends on whether or not you want a different look and feel or faster experience. Flashing one rom to another or keeping stock is dependent on your own personal preference.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
He just answered you. I don't think anyone can be any more clear than that. If you read the thread, you know it is faster, it is stable, it has hsupa enabled, it has a working gps, etc. What is the answer you are looking for?
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Over stock you gain a better file system which alone helps to eliminate lags caused by the stock rom on the form of the lag fix. You lose a number of at&t and samsung apparently that many find unnecessary. This current version is themed like gingerbread which is really nice looking. And with the lightness of it comes heavy speed increases over stock.

[Captivate Android Development] FiniteSM:
Hi all. I'm looking to try out this rom, this being my first attempt at using roms.

I have ADB, i'm rooted, i've setup rom manager and am in the process of doing a nandroid backup via clockwork.

What i'd like to know is if this rom will only work on the US version of the captivate (the SGH I97), or if It will also work on the SGH-196, aka the Canadian Rogers version.

Thanks :)!
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
+1 to that. Again, Mikey, you have knocked one out of the park! Thanks for the hard work, the active support, and the tip on Go Launcher! (loving it!)
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
It should work fine. I believe the Canadian Bell version is what this is based on.

Circle Battery

Okay for anyone who wanted the circle battery mod. I finally got it working with the new icons. Here it is! There are white numbers in the middle.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Mikey - very slick - love the Gingerbread theme!

And I really like your ROM builds - usually get some new tasty stuff without the over-the-top theatrics of other ROMs (not a bad thing mind you.. but sometimes I like simple/working over whiz bang gee gaws flying all over the damn place).

Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] joeman170:
just 1 quistion

just a quick question im really new to the android scene ive been with ios for awhile. but ive done alot of research and the biggest problem for the captivate is unwanted shutdowns. with this rom everybody says its the most stable would u still captivate keep alive or does this solve that problem ?
[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:
Question: If I am on stock JH7 (unrooted), do I need to flash JF6 or am I good to go once I root?
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
I'm not sure what question you are asking. Are you asking if this will solve random shutdowns?? The answer to that is probably not.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
You are better off going to JF6 first. JH7 has a different recovery mode that won't let you use Clockwork Recovery, if I remember correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
If your having random shutdown issues it is pretty much 99% hardware related - best to exchange for a new one as I plan on doing eventually.

That 1%? people using task killers ;) (j/k)

My phone has already shutdown twice after installing the latest and greatest - I have done just about everything except attempt to use a different battery to try and fix the issue - and still no go.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
JH7 is ok, it's JI6 that has 3e recovery.

JK3 vs JK4

Mikey:

Just curious what your rational is for using the JK3 modem vs JK4 or other. I ask because I personally have noticeably better performance with JK4 over JK3. Obviously it's not a problem to flash whatever modem each of us prefers, I'm just curious on your opinion.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
I had shutdown problems with my first cappy also. Exchanged my phone 6 weeks ago and it runs solid now.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Getting ready to exchange mine too. I'm on my second and both phones have had the issue. I have tried different ROMs and kernels, none of it has changed the behavior. 100% hardware related IMHO
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Just tested driving home, and it worked as good as other 'good roms' I've used, including Assonance 4.3.

volume

But, I find the volume to be considerably lower.

Anyone else? This could be a deal breaker for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
UOT kitchen doesn't work with the framework-res.apk from this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] FiniteSM:
So the model # difference should not matter? I'll give it a shot anyways, and restore if I really have to..

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Cool. Thanks.

Can you share how you accomplished that? Did you just drop the graphics in the zip file?
[Captivate Android Development] Hammy1757:
I used to get random shutdowns when I first bought the phone, but once I started flashing roms (beginning with designgears) the shutdowns stopped. I did have a few freezes with one of the overclocks/uv on this rom (which have since gone away with excab. or better settings), but no more random shutdowns.

I got the phone late July.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
WIFI

I'm finding WIFI to be very flaky.

So my list of issues at this point is short but important:

Wifi Not hooking/or keeping a hook

Low volumen

I'll post back how it goes. Maybe reboot will help.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
wow @ GPS ..

based on the first lock I got , the gps is amazing .. seriously , I always go in testmode to get my first lock and I never got a lat long in less then a minute on any settings before now ... :cool:not only this time it was 'instant' but lock was moving between 7 and 9 satelites ... amazing really./
[Captivate Android Development] kezell:
No issues yet...

My wifi is holding strong.

I am hitting 6-7 satellites inside my house.

Im going to run it for a bit and see if I have any other issues.

But as usual man! Excellent Rom!
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Could you post your LbsTestMode settings? I've had great GPS on every Assonance build until this one. I want to make sure it isn't my error.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
Since you put on the K4 modem on you reset your GPS again, right? I had to do it for 4.1 and 5.0 to get GPS to work right.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Just Installed

Im freaking loving it, super fast and super stable.

Really want the battery circle do we just flash it over the ROM through Clockwork?

Thanks so much for making my Captivate amazing
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Do you mean using the Samsung GPS Restore app?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Decided to flash this version to add to the information stream

First of all this is a great ROM... Stability is foremost on my list.

Flashed from stock. Did NOT Master Clear

update CW then flashed ROM from CW

Used TiBu to restore all apps with data,

Wifi = Great

GPS= GREAT

Speed = Great

(whatever stock ROM setting was at initial boot)

Running at 1.2 w/ no under clock

I did set clocks lower but they didn't stick on reboot and I mess around too much to rename the Scheduler files. I am happy with 15 hours of battery, wifi on all the time. and everything syncing at minimum times.

Have not tried the Darkness theme yet as I am waiting for the upgraded theme due today or tomorrow.

SO FAR GREAT ROM....Reminds me of early DG ROM Tested and stable out of the gate,,,

only "abnomality" I have noticed thus far is the Facebook sync using the green phone icon instead of the blue Facebook icon within joined and separate FBcontacts.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
No going into LbsTestMode and wiping it there.

Absolutely love this rom but my gps unfortunately is very flaky. i loaded up 5 after master clearing and flashing to stock. i cleared gps data and proceeded to test it out. no luck all day i can get a lock but immediately lose it when i move. suple.google.com 7276 all the settings are there. i tried with auto config and the custom config and no luck. it was absolutely perfect on 4.1. no flaws what so ever very strange...any ideas?:confused:

Hey Mikey, what file did you edit to have the menu not unlock the boot? I just want to put that file in my current Assonance because I don't want to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
if your using one of the two posted here yes

1. reboot to recovery

2. install zip from sd

3. select zip

4. select yes

5. reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
coming from 4.3... this is the fing bomb!!!!! I can't believe how fluid and smooth this is. You really out did yourself this time.

I made some tweaks for myself.. a list if it helps..

-add dlna.apk from axura rom (all share.. works)

-add deskhome.apk for awesome gingerbread looking analog clock

-replaced android keyboard with black droid x keyboard with blue buttons popup.

-added and removed notification sounds.

-adjusted framework to show 3G and not H.

-replaced livewallpapers.apk with newly released Nexus S livewallpapers.apk looks slick

Gonna see if i can get the clock down to 1ghz for battery purposes with a stick through reboot.

Still can't believe you made something better then what we have... Unbelievable.
[Captivate Android Development] FiniteSM:
Well, the rom worked on a rogers captivate :).

Very very happy, first rom i've installed on here and it blows 2.1 out of the water.

Only thing i've noticed so far is that my GPS takes about 20-30sec to lock (from having it off). Was about 10sec before. I don't know if that will really matter to me, as I rarely use the gps at this point, and 30sec isn't too bad.

Great work :)
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Testing this out...so far so good. Does anyone know how to get the "fly in" transition animations on this, like in axura?

copy over the anim folder from some other framework-res.apk and drop it into the framework-res.apk in this rom

[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
Haven't Tested the GPS yet.. Will tomorrow morning..

but i think we should rename this rom to .....

PERFECTION!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
here is...

deskhome.apk

dlna.apk (allshare)

droidx keyboard with lib file

sns account apks

livewallpapers.apk

Use root explorer to dump apk in system/apps

and dump the lib file in system/lib

make sure to delete latinime.apk and overwrite the lib file or you will get fc all day and night...

if you didnt' flash yet... just open the rom zip file and place drag the apk in the right directories and then flash the rom... (I use WINRAR for this)

attached my framework-apk that has the fly in animations and the 3G icons...

Only thing i didn't attach were the sounds and ringtones from other roms, because I just did a winrar from one rom to another.. not extracting the files.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I installed a 'bad' framework-res.apk once, and it caused nothing but FCs when I booted. Only way I could figure out how to get it going was to go back to beginning and flash again.

Anyone know of another way to fix w/o having to do that? (my point being, based on what I know now, a backup wouldn't do me any good.)

I presume there is a better way.

MikeyMike aka THE MAN

MikeyMike!

Once again, the single greatest "out of the box" ROM experience to date!

GPS as close to something I would describe as decent since I have had this phone. Tracking is still a bit flaky, but, at least now I can use the GPS to actually get somewhere. Fast locks, 8 Sats indoors. Now, I'll have to find something else to obsess over :p

Thank you for your hard work and obvious attention to detail and quality.

You, Sir, are THE MAN :)
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
no worries friend....

here is what you do.....

1. install droidexplorer.. not sure where i got... very important

2. copy your current framework and rename it to backup.. when you copy it should make it in the same directory with a 1 at the end or something like that.

3. then copy the new framework in overwriting the old one.

4. reboot

5. if all is well, you are good to go...

6. if you get fc galore..... hold power button and select recovery

7. fire up droidexplorer

8. now I go to mounts and storage and mount my usb...

9. file system then shows up in droidexplorer on my pc...

10. on left side click on system

11. then on left side click on framework

12. then delete the bad framework and rename your backup back....

13. disconnect and reboot. and your good to go.

I have had this happen a few times, and was able to quickly get back without a reflash.

if you are nervous with the frameworks.. just open two of them side by side with winrar and drag and drop.... I only dragged and dropped the folder with the images... hdpi.. and the anim folder because someone suggested it and it works fine.

that droidexplorer is a real gem!
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
learn how to use adb

keep a backup of your previous framework-res.apk on your sdcard. when you get constant FC's after a bad framework flash, you just adb shell and copy your backed up framework-res.apk back into /system/framework/ then reboot
[Captivate Android Development] J-T:
I have tried every rom and every gps fix out there and have never had good working gps even with assonance until I flashed the epic gps files and the jmp files back to back. Keep in mind also if you mess with the modem you will probably want to flash these files again.

I know Mikey includes these in his rom but mine never worked until I flashed again on top of the rom. Its worth a try anyways.

[Captivate Android Development] J-T:
I think I posted a way to change the battery to circle battery awhile back in this thread. I'll try to explain again. If you have trouble using any zips or other ways of doing it you can always open the frame-res.apk files of a rom with the battery mod you like. Then go in and copy the actual images in the drawable hdpi folder and paste them into this roms folder and you will have the battery mod you wish.

You can open the framework-res.apk file by using 7zip or just renaming framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip ... Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

btw this also works the the flying and assorted animations.
