[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punxx:
I have the Rogers Captivate as well, I was a little hesitant before I did it too but myself and a bunch of my friends that have the phone have done it with no issues at all. Do the permanent root, if it freezes then just pull the battery, reboot and try again. It took me at least twice to root it but it's remarkably easy. If anything really major goes wrong you can always boot to recovery and wipe data but I seriously doubt you'll need to. I'm just speaking from experience so don't blame me if anything buggers it up but to be honest it's not as easy to brick it as you might think.

Just go for it.

just rooted it

i just rooted my captivate with z4root, can any one give me any like tips/warnings/shoulds/shouldnts
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punxx:
Should:

- Get Titanium Backup and batch backup everything. This app will make your life so much easier and hassle free.

- Also, just be careful and don't go crazy with installing stuff you don't know about. Do your due diligence before flashing anything or installing any app or lag fix. Figure out exactly how it's done before you do it. This might sound basic and common sense but from the short time I've been here I've seen a fair few people complain of bricking their phone just because they didn't follow directions that were pretty clear from the onset.

Enjoy!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Owais1437:
how to flash

im looking around the forums so, i copied this from the darky rom post:

HOW TO FLASH

1. Place the ROM on the root of your SD card.

2. Backup your apps using Titanium Backup.

3. Open ROM Manager (Downloadable from the market)

4. Choose "Install ROM from SD card". If after you flash and you have problems like force closes and you can't receive calls, wipe data/cache.

5. Let the phone sit for 5-10 minutes after booting.

6. Have fun!

is that all u have to do? no holding buttons and booting into some menu?

also will these roms work for 2.1 rogers version captivate? Because i checked on the wiki for the captivate rogers version and it said something about "optionally change the model in the update-script from SGH-i897 to SGH-i896"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punxx:
I'm not the best person to ask about this unfortunately but from what I've read this is definitely one way to flash a new rom. Whether you're currently on 2.1 seems to be irrelevant as the rom will act as your new version of Android as it were.

A few things I've read, make sure you have access to both recovery and download modes, if anything happens you'll probably need to flash back with Odin so learn more about that before you proceed.

Best to start here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

And finish by reading the remaining stickies and make sure of any special instructions for whatever rom you want to install.

I haven't flashed because, and this sounds strange, I don't actually have access to a computer at my house so I can't use Odin as easily to fix any issues that might occur so I haven't tried yet.

I'll step out and let someone else handle your flashing questions.

Hey folks,

I have a friend that would like a pink theme for her desire. I have installed Oxygen RC4 on her desire and she was wondering if I could find a pink theme. I have googled and looked all over but can't seem to find anything.

Anyone have any idea? I would make one myself but I just don't have the time or patience to use the online kitchen right now.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is any android App which can send pre configured SMS when i manually reject any call.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raiderkilo:
Try Tasker
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anon67:
Thanks! . this looks to be something definitely worth exploring.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AppUsabilityExpert:
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market

Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.

- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.

- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs

- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well

- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"

There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Root Call Blocker also includes a feature similar to what you're looking for :)

Why would you want to do th :confused:at? I just don't get it. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryant22:
Some countries ban usage of mobile phones while driving, so instead of pissing about with your phone while driving, you can block the call and tell them why without having to touch the phone. Could be used in meetings, school/college too. there are so many uses ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anon67:
Thanks for all the replies. Another classic example is you are in a middle of a meeting/conference and u get an important call (from ur better half ;-) ? ) . You may not be in a position to take the call - easier if u get an option to send predefined sms - when u reject the call - with the flexibility of not having SMS being sent out whenever u reject a call.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] GXeed:
Reject++

If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..

so check Reject++

You can:

- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.

- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++

- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"

- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.

- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF

- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.

Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo77:
Ok it seems that you still have the Android 1.6 running on your X10 so i recommend you to update to Android 2.1 for X10.

You can look in this thread is really fast and simple:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825201

If you have an X10a you can use the X10a Generic.

After the flashing process is done you can use the download Z4root apk from the link i gave you before, Save it to your SD Card and use any file manager like Dual File Manager from the market to install it...

Then with the Application root your device.

It's the easiest way to get that done.

[Blade General] mushtaq:
I have just bought a Orange SF to play around with Android (I have a HTC D2 as my main phone, large screen and easy to read)

As the screen is smaller and the platform is new to me, I'm finding the that there is just too much on the screen to see clearly without having to wear my reading glasses.

I was wondering is there a way to change the font to make it larger (as can be done in Windows Mobile) and is there a theme around (or how easy is it to make my own) to have 2 or 3 larger icons across the screen instead of the 4, which I find too small.

If the answers are already around, would be grateful for a pointer please in the right direction.
[Blade General] IronDoctorChris:
From a quick search, thee doesn't seem to be an easy way to increase font size. You could just use a larger font, though it will probably not format things very neatly.

I'm not sure how you change the font (with clockwork presumably) but I'm sure you could find out easily enough.
[Blade General] alecs:
Hi mushtaq, my wife is looking at a new phone and has the same eyesight issues. So far the iPhone 4 is the only device I have found that increases the font size. However I see you mention you can make the fonts larger on windows mobile? Can you confirm how and whether that is also available on Windows phone 7?

Removed by me.

Still something that should be considered though.
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
No disrespect intended but I would take this down before you get shut down. This is not the droid forum and this is how it is done here in the Captivate forum. There is more to each of these ROMs that separates it from one and other. Try running them one by one and you will see what I mean. Some are heavy, some are light, some are slower and some burn your freaden hand(hypothetically speaking of course.) A lot of hard work goes into each and every ROM and you will get a lot of crap for this post. Also, look at each ROM, do you see anything that is different among them? check out the firmware they are based on. Some are I9000, some are Vibrant and some are the new GB from the Nexus firmware. There is plenty that make them unique to the dev. Please consider removing this post, we want the Captivate forum to be a friendly place and this is definitely going to cause some issues.

[Captivate General] quarlow:
I am constantly amazed at how many people have the gall to complain about ROMs. ROMs that the devs build for free, in their personal time.

Spend less time whining and more time flashing, you will see how little overlap there is.
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
I wasn't complaining i was suggesting that more of the devs work together rather than alone. As in there seems to be some overlap in some roms.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
So develop your own ROM with no overlap whatsoever.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
In binary.

On an abacus.

That you made from sticks.

Won't overlap a thing in existence that way.
[Captivate General] magnumrt562:
God forbid some things overlap with limited sources i.e. i9000 ish and NO source for FROYO on the captivate... REALLY man? like 5 people actually DEV for the captivate and they all put out some good stuff. A few more port stuff from other galaxy s phones. Be thankful we have these guys. Or better yet, sell your captivate and go get an EVO there are TONS of roms for that. Then you can flash something totally different everyday so you get no overlap. You NOTICE how i randomly CAPITALIZE words? FAIL to you buddy.

Ugh - missed that part it just keeps FC'ing all over the place and won't let you get back to your home screen eh?

Um.. you "could" remove LauncherPro using ADB - but the results could be um.. not good.

I would highly recommend figuring out if you can do a backup first then trying that as I don't want to be responsible for trashing your phone completely.

Have you tried just taking the sim out and see if it will boot to the home screen that way? If so you could do a TiBu backup and be able to remove LP that way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themogul:
Tried removing SIM and booting up. Same problem. All apps try to forceclose and goes into the same loop.

If I can make LP NOT to be the default and get me to the samsung home screen, it would solve it. But can't get into home switcher if I don't have home screen to click on.

Yup.. sounds like your going to have to re-flash to fix it.

Another thing is. I cant read it almost. The font (even the stock one) its not solid. I can see on the small texts thats is almost translucent kinda, dunno how to explain this, like pixels are missing. When its bold its fine.

When I put 2 phones together, both with the same font.

1. Hero with only on DPI 120

2. SGS with 240

The hero despite the fact its smaller and has a much smaller DPI is much better readable as the SGS and no "pixels" missing.

Anyone encountered this? Is my SGS faulty?

Does anyone know where I can find a list of apps that are safe to uninstall from the i896 Rogers Captivate that won't give me headaches. I have rooted and got Titanium Backup but I'd like a list that tells me what's safe and what's not. I've seen lists for the AT&T cappy but nothing for my phone. I've searched both Google and XDA with no results. Either it's not there or I'm too dumb to find it.

Also if you know what each safely removable app does or any dependencies or issues that might arise later from removing would also be helpful.

Any takers?

I know some of these are live wallpapers and should'nt be an issue if you can get them to un-install. The others I didn't know what they were or they were 3rd party apps:

Luminescence 1.2.5?

Magic Smoke Wallpaper 2.1-update?

Dandelion 1.2.5?

ChocoEUkor 1.0?

Aurora 1.2.5?

Blue Sea 1.2.5?

Aldiko eBook1.0 ;)

But.. the phone is so dependent on the apps that run in the OS that removing anything else (i.e. system files or the Y! Clock) could cause bad things to happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punxx:
I actually vetted the list that Titanium Backup gave me to remove all third party apps. Strangely things like Layar come pre-installed on the Rogers Cap. I can't imagine uninstalling something like that would do harm but that's my problem, I just don't know enough about what is dependant on what. Other Rogers Apps are probably safe as well but I don't want to run in to issues down the line with my provider. The Samsung Apps seem totally useless to me as well, but again, dependencies is my issue.

A lot of what I listed I know shouldn't be touched but I figured it couldn't hurt to list everything that came stock so we can examine it more. I know I can't be the only one wondering about this.
