This Morning's Progress Report

Just thought I would report in on my brief observations after waking up this morning.

Last night, I flashed SentiroN's 1200Mhz 1.4.3 kernel over Axura RC2.1 and the JK4 modem.

JK4 modem seems to be working great as I get great wi-fi connection throughout the house where I didn't get that with the JK3 modem.

Went to bed with my usual settings with 88% battery charge and woke up with 68%. Not sure if that is normal for this combo, but I didn't get that with out of the box Axura RC2.1 the previous night (<10% drain).
[Captivate Android Development] jay slasher:
Something is going crazy with my phone, Overnight from 1am to 8am, my phone went from 100% Battery down to 10% on idle with no apps running in the background other than usual stuff.

I cycled the battery yesterday and applied the SGS Tools battery script.

Normally it will go from 100-70% overnight. not down to 10.

Also i've been charging since 9:30am (its now 11:30am) and its only at 25%.

Any idea's i'm holding off on reflashing currently because I know Axura will release a new rom possibly tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Is this just as stable as 2.1 stock?

I have found it to be very stable and I have less problems than I did with 2.1 stock.

Does it have tw launcher or vanilla?

I believe it's the vanilla launcher... I don't remember, I use LauncherPro

does it still include swpe?(a must have)

Of course!

Is this release overclocked?(dont want!)

Nope, Ax2.1 uses Xcalibur's kernel and is not overclocked!

How good is call quality and service?

Great out of the box... Even better after JK4 modem update!
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
that is why you need to create a signature so everyone knows what have you done to your phone lately. rom, kernel, etc...

or you thought that signatures were for vanity?
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Ah, I read that it's better to just install the ROM and the Kernel at the same time, as Voodoo isn't there at all, at that point.

The Rom just seems really unstable.. I'm guessing it's because of SetiroN's, although I've read that others aren't having issues? Mine keeps locking up.. I'll give your method a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
No Im running the same config, I cannot replicate the vibrate with or without JFS

Try going back to non jfs and see what happens

If nothing else, perhaps a bad flash, reflash!

Sent from Axura RC1 Captivate Edition
[Captivate Android Development] C.C.W.:
Done......
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Usually thats true but with the voodoo automatically enabled via the kernel, it may be different.

If you repackage the kernel in the zip it would surely work as well.

Axura CE RC2.1 w/ excalibur 2.1.6, ugjk4 modem, Voodoo, BlackFroyo theme
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Currently

Morning All,

Time for feedback and hopefully some fixes.

Axura RC2.1

Set 1.4.5 Kernel w all tweaks and lagfix applied, not sure which one, the (fastest one)

Modem that came with RC2.1

Have had 2 deaths (phone turned off while unplugged)

While streaming tunein for maybe 30-45 minutes screen off went from 74% -> 57%, over 3g.. forgot to turn on wifi.. havent tested battery drain while streaming over wifi yet.

And for the first time while plugged in over night my phone turned off (good thing I worked extra hours and didn't have to be to work till 10am)

Audio seems quieter.. I plug my phone in and play tunein over my logitech speakers and also a 3.5mm aux in to my car stereo. Not sure why this would be but yes I checked everything in sound settings. To get the same volume I am having to turn the volume knobs higher on the Car and Logitech speakers

With the 1.4.5 tweaks enabled and lagfix.. this is wicked disgusting fast.

GPS is awesome.. locked quickly on my drive home and was reliable the whole way(outdoors, never locks indoors on anything I've flashed)

I can't have it turning off on me at night though. So, any suggestions guys?

Also +10 to someone working on the default android screen with puzzle lock.

Thanks,

-A
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Read through the rest of the thread and no other comments but thanks for replying. Let me know what's necessary to test this out. I don't know how to do any of this as I'm dipping deeper. I'll be the guinea pig to test it, I don't have a pc at home, no PS at work here and most things are blocked... but I'll do what I can. I'd love to see this become a reality.

(PM me if it's easier)

Thanks again!!

-A
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If you are getting freezes our shut downschange your oc uv settings

1.43 rc2.1 jk4

No issues to report. No oc no uv
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I haven't messed with that yet.. do you have some suggestions for settings?

Thanks,

-A
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
A,

I have been streaming AudioGalaxy HQ to my BT headphones since ~730am (It's 1215p now) and I have gone from 80% to 42%.... over 3G.

Sen's 1.4.3 - No overclock, undervolted (-50mV for each clock speed).
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I set max at 1000

I don't change any other settings
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Hrmm, I don't get why I'm having so many issues with this rom.

I used odin and flashed back to original AT&T, then rooted my phone, then installed Axura. It ran fine the first boot, I went in, added a folder in voodoo to disable it, restarted the phone, and now it won't boot past the Samsung splash. Haha.

Oh well. Back to Perception for me, I guess. =[
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Samsung splash? That us removed from this rom
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I still have it on shut down... I completely master cleared 2x, 1x before and 1x after flash AND did a format sd card 2x same scenario...
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
There's a good song on now, or else I would reboot to check; but I don't think it is going to be removed until 2.2. I think the Samsung I9000 bootscreen is still there upon booting up.... and Samsung splash is there on booting down.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
I don't mean the original Samsung splash.

I mean the new Samsung splash.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I'm on 1.4.5, (isn't that OC by default?) I can try -50mV for each clock speed. I unplugged @ 97% charge, walked to the breakroom and shot the bs for a few minutes <10 while looking at some FB posts and texts and went down to 91%.. getting some serious battery drain while the screen is on.. So yes, I need to make some tweaks.. will await your response.

(I only do -A because don't want to confuse me with the other Adam)

Thanks,

-Adam
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
It will seem to be stuck after disabling voodoo but just leave it be, it takes a long time to boot due to it disabling voodoo in the background. It could take about 5min on first boot after disabling voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] dontshakepandas:
I have zero photoshop skills, but if you, or anybody, could provide me with the puzzle peices that either have the audio options built in, or blank, I could make you an update.zip that would give you the puzzle peice lock screen in about 10 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Also if you didn't do a Master Clear, which I've learned quickly is VERY valuable (he!! do it a few times before a new rom) you may have issues going from rom to rom.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Curious...but if I downloaded the axura rom Saturday morning...the version that was taken down that same day. Am I missing any updates by not downloading the one that is currently posted and just using the one from last week?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Hi Soypoi,

Yes.. this is newer than that release. There seems to be another release coming soon as well (next day or two) so you may want to wait. That being said who knows what will happen w/ the team today.

Best luck..
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Yeah... it's overclocked by default, but I drop the max clock speed to 1Ghz via Voltage App. I'm on a fresh battery calibration... have you calibrated battery stats since flashing the new kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Thank you, I will wait for the new update then.

I am tempted to download the 1.4.5 or whatever kernel (I'm bad with numbers lol) to see if it gets any faster/better.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
... Shoot me, No lol. I probably should.. did right before flashing though.. I need root explorer to get at that battery file (to delete it after calibration)

I'll drop the speed down and see how she runs..

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I'd wait on 1.4.5.. I've been using it since yesterday and am noticing some issues, I wouldn't mind letting people know later today/tomorrow how things keep going. I'm also betting that Hans will bake it into his next rom.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
You can also clear stats via SGS Tools>ApplyScripts>delete_batterystats_q.txt

Mine runs like regurgitated dog poo at any speeds over 1Ghz... FWIW :)
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
what was the kernel that came with the previous 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Mines running crazy fast, just can't have my phone turning off in the middle of the night (charging) or just turning off randomly (not charging).

I have noticed some glitches.

Voltage control app: I've heard they dont stick when you apply. I (cringe) don't want to search all 150+ pages for the correct way, I hope you don't mind me asking here.. wonder if we could get an opp to add that on changes to main page?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
VoltageApp settings will stick until reboot, but to get them to stay after rebooting, this is what worked for me; You will need Root Explorer for this one :)

Setup Voltage App like you want

Menu>Apply for Now

Menu>Save as boot settings

Open Root Explorer

Navigate to /etc/init.d

Locate file saved for boot settings (S_volt_scheduler)

Rename "S_volt_scheduler" to "S_98_volt_scheduler"

Save

Reboot

Open VoltageApp to verify settings stuck
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
What is your scheduler set to?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
bfq... I haven't had any issues with BFQ, so no reason to try the others...
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I'm hating MC and my CU today.. why do they block every google checkout transaction that's international!! GRRR

(trying to buy Root Explorer).. for some reason thought Astro gave me root access. guess not
[Captivate Android Development] Sellitus:
I love the Axura roms but the 2.1 for some reason significantly lowered my benchmark scores. My Quadrant went from 2300 to just over the galaxy s benchmark in the list, and the linpack score went down to 13 from 18. I haven't noticed any equivalents to the rest of the system being slowed down yet but I just thought I'd give my 2 cents.

Still my favorite rom ever though :)
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
It's been noted over and over in this thread... if you are worried about benchmark scores, this probably isn't the best ROM. Most Quadrant scores ~2000+ are due to Dataloops being enabled which basically sets up the system to show Quadrant exactly what it wants to hear, thus artificially exagerating Quadrant scores.

Use the ROM for a day or so... and then decide for yourself if it's faster and more stable than others.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Know if these guys have a website (speed software, root explorer)? I tried buying another app that the dev was based out of Europe and it wouldnt let that one go through either..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Quadrant is a joke. Also, the kernel put into the main build is what lowered your linpak. This can be increased to around 17Mflops if you flash one of setiroN's kernels. The next build will include one of SetiroN's kernels in the main build itself, I just don't know if Hans has decided which one yet.
[Captivate Android Development] jay slasher:
So can no one help me with my battery problem. This is getting ridiculous. It won't even charge at a proper rate now.

I have it plugged in and it just dies and goes to the powerd down battery screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have you thought your battery may have died? The ROM will not cause the battery to give the actions you are receiving.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
lanisan, check your PM's :)
[Captivate Android Development] Sellitus:
I appreciate the feedback, I was just commenting compared to the RC1 release so thank you for shedding light on the subject. To be honest I don't really care it's the ROM is the fastest I've ever used and I love it.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I am debating going 1.4.3 on the kernel, after 2 deaths (no charger) and (is it sleeping death while charging) it died while on the charger over night..

See my posts about the audio?

Gps wicked good

Speed (although could be a voltage issue causing the boots) is freaking.. disgusting-wicked-crazy-sickening fast.. I did the voltage reduction to 1GHz and did notice it was a hair or 3 slower..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I use the 1.4.3 with the optional tweaks that kernel offfers and love it. IT runs disgusting-wicked-crazy-sickening fast and is very stable.

Edit: of course GPS is good. Did you expect any less?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Lol.. That should be added into the post heading for this rom once it's updated for the main forum board (disgusting-wicked-crazy-sickening fast)

Yeah.. I'm really happy I have functioning GPS and it's great to tease my buddy who's still running cog7.. he JUST got his cappy monday so.. we'll see if he migrates..
[Captivate Android Development] jay slasher:
I don't know it seems somewhat odd that it would die just as I cycle it for the first time. But then again I don't know enough about it to say otherwise.

I can't even power on the device while plugged in which makes me wonder.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Definitely sounds like battery issues. If you know someone with the same phone ask if you can try their battery. Otherwise you will have to purchase a new one and not be totally sure. Or, you could flash to stock and see if it boots though I am pretty sure the ROM is not responsible as you are the only one that this has happened to.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
sounds like it is definately your battery dying or something. im using this rom and have had no battery problems whatsoever, most days ill stil be at 50% or so at like 8 at night.
[Captivate Android Development] Nodnarb1974:
I just installed the latest version and my GPS won't lock on at all. Anyone have suggestions as too why or what I can do to fix it. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jay slasher:
My sister has a brand new Rogers Captivate i'll see if i can try hers. I have been using a different charger (meant for my plantronics Voyager Pro) When my samsung is not around. That might be a cause. But it wouldn't explain the quick discharge rate.

I'll try with the new battery and then again with a flash to stock. I'm testing with a USB cable plugged into a desktop to see if that makes a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
JK4

I hit over 5000kbps download speed outdoors with the JK4 modem (5098 to be exact!). That seems rather speedy.

But I am also regularly getting download speeds over 3000kbps indoors.

I think I may stick with the JK4 modem for a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I would certainly discontinue the use of the non-Samsung wall charger...

If it charges at the battery at a different rate/voltage, it could cause the battery life to quickly shorten... as a battery reaches the end of it's usable life, discharging will speed up (it doesn't hold as much "juice" as it used to). Thus, the charger is destroying your battery and your deminished battery is causing the quick discharge rates... not the ROM.

Try your sister's battery and let us know... :)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Thx ;), mount r/w?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
It would make sense if you fryed your battery using a charge that was not meant for it.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
You will need to do that if it's not already mounted as R/W...
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Btw you should set it to noop. Bfq and the others are not recommended for flash drives like we have.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
U outside? if not go outside
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Thanks for the heads up... I will do that now. Adam L, you may want to do the same :)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Not seeing the file...
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
noop

Agreed!

And here's why
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Did you already go into VoltApp and save as boot settings?
[Captivate Android Development] jay slasher:
Now i also have to find a place that might sell a battery around here. Good thing rogers is so useful. They don't stock Captivate batterys. and Samsung won't sell them directly. Looks like i'll have to wait on an ebay battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Quick Poll

Who's GPS is working? Meaning it locks on in stationary quickly, holds the lock and works while tracking.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
+1, outdoors only, -10 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Mine works great in all three areas of concern.

I might mention that this has been the case since I took the phone out of the box, on every rom and kernel I have tried, Eclair and Froyo, Captivate, I9000, and Vibrant.

My GPS has never not worked as I expect it to.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
yes and searched RE using search tool...going to reboot

update: lost mobile connection (no at&t).. reboot again
[Captivate Android Development] beerbaronstatic:
Mine connects quickly while stationary and seems to hold a solid lock while moving, much better than its ever been
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
+1 mine does too.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Couldn't tell you... I have a hard time checking out my phone while I'm traveling to and fro...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
GPS Poll

Edit to GPS poll.

How many of you have a working GPS that did not work before?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Nice bike. I am still trying to convince my wife to let me get one. She lost a coworker on one and that signed my fate.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
+1..

lost wireless on reboot though.. jk4 = at&t? havent flashed that modem yet.. bout to though if you suggest it
[Captivate Android Development] Nodnarb1974:
Yeah, I have tried it several times all outside and nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
My wife wrecked one when she was 15... needless to say, I fought a long battle to get this one! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Highly recommend JK4. Works wonders with my setup and many others!
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
RC1 or RC2.1 Axura stock?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I suggest it... Much better reception pretty much everywhere I've tested... higher/more stable download & upload speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
You using AT&T?

Update:

Powered off

Removed batt, usb, sim...

let sit 2 min

reinsert batt, sim, power on..

working fine now.. think I'll still flash, add jk4 to sd and cwr?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I am... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Nodnarb1974:
I flashed Axura RC2.1 CE. That's what it says under Build number.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
did u master clear before RC2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I must be freaking retarded or somethng, but I can't seem to flash any kernel...I've searched the thread but maybe I'm using the wrong keywords or something... installing the kernel via cwm back in post #962...I just get cwm FC and another FC..then I have to restore...wth am I doing wrong??? :(
[Captivate Android Development] Nodnarb1974:
Yes I did a master clear after I flashed back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Can you please flash the attached files via CWM and change your server to suplgoogle.com and your server port to 7276, delete GPS data and let me know how that goes. Something may have went wrong with your flash.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Did you load CW recovery for Vibrant first??
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Soy, I'll give it a try..

Adding to SD now
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
lanisan, don't forget to go to Rom Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant first...
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
It might be my fault since I'm using a previously posted version of axura from last week before the big to do, but I don't have a voodoo folder at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am going to talk to Hans about including flashing the Vibrant recovery in the FAQ. I posted that several pages back for another user and it fixed the issue. We shall see.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
before flashing jk4, do I need to disable the lagfixes & tweaks in 1.4.5?

thanks guys
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
how can you change the option after you mayormaynot have selected captivate prematurely after loading the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
If you are using RC1, I think you already have SentiroN's 1.4.3... you will need to disable lagfixes via CWRecovery>AdvancedULN first...
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I didn't have to after flashing CW Vibrant recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
...just go back in and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again... this time, select Vibrant. :)

Are you trying to change Radio or Kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
jk4 loaded onto sd, flashed cw vibrant CMR, going to reboot into recovery, install jk4 zip & see what happens

OMG WTH.. now my phone has a big silver apple with a bite out of it.. what did you put in that jk4.zip folder??!!??

j/k...

however.. there is no carrier data (again).. going to remove battery, wait 2 min and try again. then will do the voltage control, look in RE for the file and restart the phone.. I don't think I'm going to downclock much though.. maybe to 1.4.3.. I notice the diff at 1ghz
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Nope, you are good to flash away.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
AdamH... does flashing Vibrant Recovery get rid of the need to disable lagfixes when flashing everything?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
After I do this settings should read RFS for the first few and then false for the remainder?
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Hans,

If you see this... Is there anyway you could include the S_99_volt_scheduler (set to max clock 1000mhz) file in the ROM?

That way, the ROM will be running the faster kernel, but will not be overclocked out of the box... yet, it still gives users the ability to overclock via VoltApp if they choose to do so...
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Yes... what kernel are you flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
No, it just fixes issues with recovery giving failures when trying to flash. Keep this in mind. You only need to disable a lagfix if you are flashing an update to a ROM, a new ROM or are switching lagfixes.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
If flashing a new kernel... doesn't lagfix need to be disabled?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
No, you are not messing with the file system. YOu are good to go, I promise.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
speed test time...
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
At this point I wish I could flash sideways to an alternate time line where I'm less frustrated lol.

Was trying to do the 1,4.3 1200 kernel. My current phone stats are: axura RC1 (not the most current...last weeks one), jk4 with kernel 2.6.32.9
