With you there my friend. This is a fun, vibrant community that is built on the idea that innovation breeds better software. All it takes is a read through a ROMs post to decide if something is stable enough for you. (hence, why I have been on Assonance for a couple weeks.) I haven't changed ROMs, just tweaked themes, flashed new kernels, etc., since I got on Assonance. I was on DG's work for over a month before that, before the thread got nasty and the ROM didn't work well for my phone. Point being, the fun isn't in finding THE PERFECT ROM, it's tweaking the best ROM for you and making it better. I haven't been on here all that long, but I have learned so much from some really great people and like to think I have helped a few people along the way too.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
No, might be a bad flash. Mine says 4.1

Try loading it again I guess.

*EDIT: see post from joeshmoe08 above
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
I had some stalled updates, so I cleared the market app data and rebooted... all seems better now... just updated 5 apps and market is working again. Could be just a general slowdown this time of day in the market too.... not sure....
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Got it, thank you...I should have read more:o

Anyone get no matching content in android market? I'm getting some weird foreign market
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
No market issues here.
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
By chance did you perform a restore using TiBu?

My market was working fine until I restored a handful of apps using TiBu. Tried clearing the cache using SGS Tools to no avail. So, as a test, I started over from scratch but this time loaded the apps individually through the market. So far I have zero market issues.

FYI - in both loads I used Android ID Changer to change my id to the real one before either 1) restoring via TiBu or 2) loading fresh from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Great ROM especially with Excalibur reoriented i9000 Kernel.

VERY nice....gonna be my daily driver for awhile...
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
guys what rom lets you oc to 1.6ghz i forget :P. Should i cool it with arctic silver or something before i do it?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I heard if you submerse the phone in ice it will overclock to 1.8GHz!!!

Please don't try this...
[Captivate Android Development] ademarne:
Just flashed 4.1 a few hours ago and restored with TB. No market issues for me, updates work just fine as well.

Running this as downloaded with the gingerbread theme. Very happy with it so far, nice work.
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
supposedly 1.4-1.6ghz is indeed posible
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Very Very nice....Thank you...

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Did you just flash it over the kernel that came with the rom? Or use odin? . Did you disable. Lag fix first? Sorry, its early and I havn't had coffee yet.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I prefer liquid nitrogen. YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
4.2

1.4.4 Kernel

(Headset Fix, among other things)

[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
just when i think about a headjack fix from you :p
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Dear MikeyMike,

This ROM is the best out there. It's a nice clean approach with not too much crap loaded on it. With the Setiron kernel, I'm rocking 1.6 GHz. The JK3 base makes this thing fly. Never had better reception or download speeds... JK3 modem rocks. I have not seen lag in DAYS. Now, I've got a Gingerbread theme going with GB launcher, GB keyboard, and GB icons, colors, etc. Pretty fun.

Just wanted to drop in and say I love what you're doing here. I know flattery doesn't ever get old.

- KP
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It really doesn't. :D
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
just confirming its always a good idea to disable lagfix:D before upgrading 4.1 to 4.2 right?
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
I'd like to know the rec. upgrade procedure from 4.1 to 4.2 as well.... btw, running 4.1 and GB UI and love it... really flies.... thanks Mikey!!! Nicely done.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I never do.

It can't hurt to.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
sweet! as always your roms rock dude. definitely in my top 3 ( if not #1 favorite rom) :D
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I am banned from using paypal, is there any other way I can donate?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
How did you manage that? lol
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I'm actually quite proud of that achievement, lol. I find Google Checkout to be better anyway, but no one uses it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
And... another Setiron kernel is released right after you update lol.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Mikey,

Are you recommending going back to stock before you flash 4.2 if you're on 3.1?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Not really.

My personal method is to try it, and see what happens. If it starts doing weird things like Force Close and such, then go back to scratch.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
I think in the OP it stated to flash to stock before going to 4.0 so I would assume yes.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Sounds good, Sitting in the airport in San Fran DLing this now. Looking forward to checking it out.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
1.4Ghz it is possible and some are getting a bit more but so far I have yet to see anyone do 1.6Ghz stable....there is one claiming so in the Setiron thread but he has provided little evidence....I really doubt is real.
[Captivate Android Development] thejonesyboy:
I previously had an issue of freezing on boot when I flashed version 1.5 SetiroN's kernel. This was after a stock JF6 (allowed to fully boot) + master clear + Assonance 3.1. So I went back and reflashed stock JF6 + master clear + Assonance 3.1 without the new kernel.

Now that 4.2 has been released, I'm having the same problem. Flashing stock JF6 + master clear + Assonance 4.2, and it freezes during the animated boot logo. I have tried either applying the ext4 lagfix on first boot or clearing the settings (leaving it as RFS), when it asks to do so.

If this is something to do with an overclock, (I'm assuming the default is 1.2GHz), then is it possible to disable the overclock and return to 1GHz? Remember I can't even boot for the first time after flashing Assonance 4.2.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
I get a lot of lockups when I use the Gingerbread theme for JK3 roms. D; Mostly when I try playing games and such. D;
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The Gingerbread theme is on my to-do list for an upcoming version.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I dunno, the GB theme hurts my eyes with its radiation green colors.

4.3

1.4.5 Kernel

New Shutdown Animation (to match start up)

http://www.multiupload.com/GRV6ULGUN4
[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
Just encountered an interesting lock-up with 4.2.

Device is in Auto-Rotate. Phone was in Landscape mode. Turned in vertical and hit the SMS icon before it had a chance to go into vertical mode. Phone started to rotate and run messaging at the same time - then locked up. Still in landscape mode.

Time to take out the battery and turn off Auto-Rotate.

:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Do I choose "go back" at this point (and reboot) or choose sdcard update.zip? Thx.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
After it's done, you choose go back and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
Thank you. I love the updates. They beat a complete reflash to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] ColonyDude:
phooey! 4.3...

I just flashed 4.3. I did not expect it that fast.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Just flashed 4.2, so far it is EXCELLENT! Very smooth, very fast, so far everything is working great, best 2.2 ROM I've tried so far. I love the incremental updates and the super-clean Theme!!!
[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
Nope. Did the restore to stock then updated. Then did the ID change (I have my 2.1 ID saved) Was getting no content issues with 4.1. did the 4.1 -> 4.2 update (currently running) and I'm getting phone bricks when using Messaging with AutoRotate on. Market issues when away with the update. Only thing I used TiBu for is to restore missing apps. And I do that selectively,
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Actually ..... running 4.2 here, I cannot seem to set my background for either Launcher Pro or the Stock launcher using the gallery, sometimes nothing happens after choosing a picture, other times the phone locks up and I need to battery-remove reset.

Is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I have seen that behavior with Gallery when the OC is not stable..in fact I use that as a quick stability check
[Captivate Android Development] Mkarin:
Cool I like the shut down animation

:D
[Captivate Android Development] canyoudigit489:
do you guys have to have root explorer in order to edit the voltage scripts? not sure i want to pay for it just to get voltage controller to work. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] abacon15:
This has probably been answered, but are there transition animations?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The Voltage Control app should work out of the box.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Nope, just the stock ones.
[Captivate Android Development] abacon15:
Okay, thanks.

And for the different battery mod do I unzip it and replace the framework on my comp and then zip it back up?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Simply flash the .zip the website creates.
[Captivate Android Development] canyoudigit489:
oh okay. i'm still on 3.1, but the voltages aren't sticking. i guess i'll just have to flash 4.3 now! hahah
[Captivate Android Development] pimpnmaxima:
So I flashed Axura last night and my battery performance isnt great but the thing flys. I love MikeyMikes stuff and if I would have seen Ass 4.3 I probably would of flashed it last night. Question: Does Ass4.3 have better battery than Axura.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Hi Mikey, I just went from 4.1-4.2, then 4.2-4.3. The Voltage Control app force closed every time I opened it. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still FC. Went to Zan's thread and downloaded RC1 and it worked and the voltages stuck on reboot. Any ideas?

Edit: Just reinstalled Voltage Control 2.0 RC2 over RC1 and it's working fine
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
I have had much better battery life with Assonance than I have ever had on Axura. I haven't tried the latest version yet myself though.
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Thank you so much! Indeed, I disabled the 1400MHZ clock speed and it now works perfectly! Thank you for the fix, and also thank you for a great idea about how to check for a stable OC!
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:

[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
This, I'm downloading now! I've been keeping up with the development with this and a couple of the other Captivate ROMs waiting for one that looked good since most of the Captivate ROMs are really new still.

I hope I'll keep this one.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
4.3 has the 1300 overclock included (instead of 1400).

Perhaps your phone would take better to that.
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
so i'm trying to flash the lastest 4.3 version but when I flash back to JF6 I am only seeing on external drive.

Has anyone had this problem? Also how do I fix it?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] thejonesyboy:
As far as I can see the minimum 1.4.5 kernels available are 1300 and 1400, and I assume they are bundled into Assonance 4.3.

Do I need to get my phone to boot at a lower frequency?

Assonance 3.1 boots and Assonance 4.2 or 4.3 do not. Please help if you can! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
No problem.

It does not mean you cannot use 1400Mhz as it may be stable for 95% of the time maybe...depends on your system.

I could loop mine doing NEOCORE without issues and not being able to access Gallery until I dropped my speed so its all a bit crazy but i am glad it worked for you.
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Thanks, I'll flash the update later today! Really nice ROM so far, great work!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Drop the zImage from xcaliubrhand's kernel into the 4.3 zip.
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
I have 3.1 running now, can i just flash 4.3 over it without doing a wipe/data? Thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
The answer is there in the first post:

4.0 will require a fresh flash. Please back up.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
...meaning that all your apps and such will be wiped. You can flash over it, just back up first.
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
Thanks Mikey.... answer i was looking for..
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Any idea how to get QuickOffice on this? I know it comes free with our Captivates, but it's not included in the ROM and I cannot seem to find the free Captivate version in the Market.

EDIT: NEVER MIND, I found an old APK that seems to work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Ivizoid:
Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Anyone try the new XXJPU kernel with this ROM. I really love that the headset works in this, will it be broken if i move zimage from XXJPU to this ROM?

I know the headset doesn't work for me with the stock XXJPU Rom.

Also, they may have lowered the filters for acquiring the GPS locks in 2.2.1 (XXJPU). It seems to get lock pretty well.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
MikeyMike you out did yourself and other witth this beauty. Not a single issue. I downloaded the excalibur Kernal and flashed it over the Setiron with zero issues. Love to have those Voodoo voices on the EX kernel back indicating if there is an issue with enabling and disabling lagfix.

There are a couple types of people I think who flash ROMS. Those who seek the fastest and and bleeding edge limits to waht they can do...and those like myself who want something waaaaaaaay better than the stock but will sacrifice escess "performance" and benchmarking for stability.

I have tried both kerels and cannot notice enough diffence to mess with clocks and voltages (and their associated issues) But knowing I can flash kernels from CW I have the updates in my root. Which leads me to a question...

IF I got a hair and decided I wanted to mess around with OCs can I flash 4.1 (disabling lafix of course) over excalibers kernal? Is it just a kernel flash? Or would I have to reflash 4.1 from JF6? If its the latter I likely would flash a Setiron Kernel seperately using CW or ROM Manager.

EVERYTHING about the ROM is smooth. Batterylife is still under scrutiny but in my case anything after 15 hourd is wasted as thats about the time I put it on the charger and have a couple extra Samsung batteries always charged (becasue of my flashing habit) which with this ROM will slow down to a crawl

Thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you're ever curious as to what a CWM .zip does, look at the file update-script, which has the instructions for what that .zip installs.

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Interesting this is the only comment in the thread re: BT Voice Dialing. No response to the above message either.

I notice in the Perception ROMS that BT VD works in, there is an app, Voice Dialer. Is that in this ROM? Maybe that is all that is needed.

Not having BT Voice Dial is the only thing holding me back at the moment f rom trying this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Mike this rom is ridiculous! I flash xcalubur 2.1.6 over this and I cant believe how fast my phone is with zero issues. Its almost too good to be true. I'm parking on this rom/kernel combo until things settle down with official releases. When I get near my PC I will be buying you and xcaliburinhand a beer. ASOP, HSUPA and headset fix, simply amazing.

By the way, I never had serious GPS issues but this rom tracks like no other.

There are lots of good roms on xda, for my needs this one is the best.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I gutted that app on the assumption that Google's voice application covered everything. Perhaps it does enabled bluetooth voice dialing.

I do not own a bluetooth headset, so I can't test anything.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Thanks...Will do.

So looking at the 4.1 update.seems to me it is only flashing the zimage ala Kernal.....So I can flash those updates like kernels?

If so why is it neccesary for those who are on 4.1 and want to go to 4.3 to flash them in order?

If I wanted to experiment with 4.3 from Excalibur would I have to do the same or reflash the entire ROM?

I did not get a full understanding of that process from the scripts

Trying to decide whether or not I should keep those updates in my root. I don;t want to flash the ROM for those updates simply to "play"

I am guessing here that I could use the original Nandroid back up that was created with the untouched 4.1 before applying updates.
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
so does 4.3 oc to 1.3ghz out of the box? or 1.28? And what are the best voltage settings for this phone?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I'm not sure if it is just me or not, but since going from 3.1 to 4.3 (stock flash/MC and all) I can't push apk's with ADB. I'll post again if i find a fix.

Yes, I did remember to adb root.
[Captivate Android Development] TeeUUGee:
Been using Mickey's ROM for about a week and loving it! Great job! :D

Just gave my lil donation...and hoping everyone else that is raving about Mickey's hard work is doing the same.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I don;t understand that issue. The voice recognition even using Voice dialer is horrible. I always have have errors and wrong number. No matter how clearly I speak. Now the BT in my car linked to the phone works a lot better in that reagrd.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
My voltage control app keeps force closing coming from 4.1 to 4.3...i have tried rebooting, reinstalling, and clearing data. Any other suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Anyone notice the phone gets really slow after a little bit of use? This is using SetiroN's 1.4.3 and ext4nj on all 3 partitions
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
If you want to have transition animations, the ones from the OP in the Perception thread work great on this ROM. I am using the fly in animations and it works great. Hope that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
I had the same issue. Go to Xan's thread and download 2.0 RC (not RC2). Install that, then install RC2 again. My voltage settings are sticking on reboot too now.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Nope. A lot of things could effect speed not necessarily related to the rom. Try rebooting.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Yea I read your post a few pages back and tried that...rc1 works fine but as soon as I install rc2 it force closes as soon as it receives root privileges. I can't seem to figure out a way around it...
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
I am using it just fine with Vlingo. Voice dial and voice to text work great with ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Why not keep using the RC1? It seemed to work ok
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Yea I think that is what I am gonna do...it requires me to change the file name to get settings to save on reboot but that's no big deal...
[Captivate Android Development] ronandi:
When I flash this, will my phone already be OCed without touching anything? I've been on Doc's ROM Modified and I never changed anything so I assumed I was at stock 1ghz. I just checked my scalingmaxfreq file and I guess I've been at 1.2 this whole time...
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I was having the issue with the messaging fc and the phone fc. I followed the instructions in the thread to extract the two apks from this rom and place it in the systems/app folder. I think mms is working I'm not getting the fc pop up, but I am still getting it for the phone. The phone has crashed while trying to make a call freezing to a black screen only the buttons are lit up and the notification bar are on, I had to pull the battery to get it going. I also tried to back up rom with cwm and the phone just shuts off, I have to pull the battery again and it'll begin back up but it doesn't appear to be backing up everything...no yellow status bar or anything. The thing that is frustrating me the most is after any and every time I have to pull the battery my settings are all jacked up. The time goes back to 12hr and I lose angry birds sesonal. VC settings are wiped, too.

Please can someone advise me in what steps to take next?
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Gingerbread (GB) theme users with Assonance 4.x

Anyone have a GB theme battery mod. with larger numbers on it they could share the .zip with me (us) ? I love the GB theme with this ROM but don't want to bork it up with my limited hacking skills... (meaning I see the link in the OP to the UOT Kitchen, but am doubting my ability to actually make something that works) -- TIA... :D

I tried to use 4.2 and it would lock up on first boot. Then I tried to use 4.3 and my Cappy freezes constantly.

Anyone else had these problems?

P.S. Do not ask me if I flashed back to stock first.........of course I did.

P.S.S. Do not ask me if I also ran a Master Clear..............of course I did.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Yes, same happened to me. I set the max freq to 1000 using

the voltage app. and it has been running Ok since then.... about 4 hours now.... no lock ups.... YMMV but that worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I had this issue. To fix, I booted the Captivate after installing "update.zip" (CWR module) via ROM manager. After boot, I fired up ROM manager again and flashed 4.3 from the Internal memory card.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Google's Voice Actions has not worked on any ROM that I've used, nor have I read anyone who has had success with it, that I"m aware of. Everyone who indicated it was working it happened to be ROMS that had this app on it, so I am making an assumption that it was because of this app.

Apparently the Google Voice app is not working on this ROM either based on the one other post which I quoted when I brought this up.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I've found the voice recognition to be very spotty depending on which app I use. The Voice dialer has been the best at recognizing who to call...albeit that is all that app will do.

Google Voice Actions is fair, but very poor at most other things it is supposed to do.

Vlingo Voice is very spotty at best.

Nothing is out there that comes anywhere close to the functionality (that is consistently pretty good) of the OLD Microsoft Voice Commands I used when on WinMo. It was great.

I am surprised about GV Actions not working with BT, and disappointed so far in the functionality of it. Not ready for prime time.
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
The voltage app worked fine for me. I didn't need to use root explorer or anything. Just clicked "save as boot settings" and it did.
