Wanted to note here that I have the JL3 modem and while it's fast and GPS rocks, wi-fi will not disable when the phone is idle/locked. I'm not sure if this is a function of the ROM, or modem, or both. But it will drain your battery if you leave it on (without juice defender, etc.)

Also, before you flash to 7.6, some people in the official 7.6 thread are reporting bugs, like the lock-screens not working and several changes to supported languages in the keyboards. Also being reported is a non-vibrating gingerbread keyboard despite it vibrating in 7.5, fwiw.
[Captivate Android Development] attsw:
Had that with my wife's phone when I first put 7.02 on it. It was a new phone, one week old and I flashed over stock without wiping data or cache. Flashed back to stock with odin, master cleared with odin, wiped data and cache with cwm and calls are fine.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
1) lockscreen- Can't do anything about that (need a fix from DARKYY

2) Swype - Most of us in captivate forum use English anyways

3) Just flash a keyboard from this thread an it will work fine - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9303732#post9303732

So only real issue would be lockscreen, and that isn't major.
[Captivate Android Development] sbhatcher:
While waiting for 7.6, I have a question: has anyone else noticed that you can no longer silence an incoming call using the volume rocker?

I've got my desk phone set up to ring my cell also, but sometimes I want to ignore the call; if I end it on my cell it goes to my cell's voicemail, so I'd rather just silence the ringer and let my desk voicemail take the call.
[Captivate Android Development] gredberd:
Is it just me or does every version have something that has to do with battery improvement? 7.6 has "Added Installation Script to prevent heavy battery drain and gallery problems". Are these changes as significant as they are portrayed in the changelog? (through use of "heavy battery drain")
[Captivate Android Development] attsw:
Wow, How did you figure that one out! The email app causes any app trying to use the camera to not function. Used the Email.apk from 7.5 ( to fix 7.02) worked like a charm.

I didn't want to upgrade the wife's phone again since she just finished getting it all set up and the gps is working so well I didn't want to mess with it.

Thanks for the fix.
[Captivate Android Development] gredberd:
I think to silence you press the power button.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Hey ytt3r, just read the updating OP beginning. What exactly happened for you to lose root and are the one-click methods working? Maybe we can help while we wait for 7.6 (which won't come unless you solve your issue).
[Captivate Android Development] zarfleen:
That kinda stinks. I was using the Email that was part of the original 7.5 flash, but I just got "Connection error" everytime I tried to refresh the list of email on an exchange account. The setup process worked fine, and the calendar/contacts sync'd fine, just not email. I used the SGS Tools to install the Email.apk from the Galaxy Tab, and I liked it much better (plus it worked :p).

I guess I will wait until 7.6 and see if I am still having problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhinodad:
I see the flashing indicator but can never get it to 100%. I seem to recall the stock power off battery charging indicator had a progress bar inside the battery outline. Or perhaps I had too much eggnog that night. In any event, this is a great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
attsw

What process did you use to pull the Email.apk out of 7.5 and then install in 7.02??

TIA
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
I'm running TL3 and noticed this too... according to the battery use app wifi never turned off.

You sure it's the modem? I just went into the advanced wi-fi settings and to my surprise the wi-fi sleep policy was set to "Never"! ROM default? I switched it to "Never when plugged in".
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
any eta on 7.6? xD
[Captivate Android Development] Misled3k:
Download the 7.5 ROM, open it (using windows explorer, winzip, or my personal favorite 7zip [it's free, and it's awesome]), go to system\app and find Email.apk

Copy the apk file to your phone, and use something like Root Explorer or Astro to move it to your phone's system\app folder. (You don't need to "install" the apk file, just dropping it in the folder will work).
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
The 7.5 ROM is just a .zip file - Open it and extract Email.apk from /system/app. Copy it to /sdcard and install with Astro or another file manager or what I usually do is "adb install PATH_TO_APK" - This seems to work the best for me when dealing w/ system apps.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
^Definitely not certain it's the modem. My settings said "Turn off when idle or unavailable" or something to that effect. This was post JL3 modem install though; I didn't think to look before I flashed as I didn't suspect an issue at the time.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Ok, scratch that. Doesn't look like the sleep policy is honored. I know from the router that my phone is 192.168.0.6 - It still pings even when the screen is off and the phone is not plugged in.

I'll go back to UGJK4 later tonight and see if there's any difference.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
I had gotten as far as unzipping the ROM distribution file and finding the Email.apk file. I had also tried adb install Email.apk before I asked the question. I got the following results (I am using a Mac Pro).

$ ./adb install Email.apk

3520 KB/s (2656518 bytes in 0.736s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Email.apk

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

I also just tried placing the Email.apk on the sdcard, copying it over the /system/Email.apk. I tried reboot, reinstallation of the app with no joy.

Not all that important now as I got the Captivate as a Christmas gift. I presently use an iPhone 4 but am looking for more freedom. I immediately turned to checking out various ROMs (the Darky/yattr series are my favorite). I am having a blast. Thanks to all who contribute and to the community at large!

I will continue my experimentation and am sure I will eventually find what I need/want.

Thanks again!

[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Is the mounting issue going to be fixed in 7.6? When i try to drag and drop files on to my internal SD card it wont let me, it's really getting annoying...:/
[Captivate Android Development] Misled3k:
It belongs in \system\app\Email.apk

This should get it working! :D
[Captivate Android Development] luv2rip:
Yesterday only I installed, Darky 7.5. Great ROM.

Any video I play, the audio does not work.

- I recorded video, no sound.

- Youtube , No sound

- All share DLNA - No sound

Any idea ?
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
I know I had terrible battery life on 7.5 on my first run down. I switched to JK4 today and am charging again. Hopefully this will help. I switched because get better reception on JK4 (lower bars, but call quality is better and I drop less calls), but hopefully battery improvement will be s side benefit.
[Captivate Android Development] jopet216:
Had the same issue...went to assonance 5.2 instead. No issue except gps. I'll again soon. Hopefully it'll work. It's a great app.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Went back to jk4 to test - Same thing: wifi is not sleeping

I'm running glitterballs' charge-death fixed kernel (gb-reorient-fixed-ocuv-f-cwm.zip)

It's not a big deal since the power control widget and the drop down notifications area make it easy to turn wifi off.
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
It's not the rom, you probably didn't wipe while upgrading from 7.0 to eventually 7.5. Wipe data/cache from recovery and reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Well i tested all videos on 7.5... and they all worked. Perfect audio.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Guys I've fixed practically all issues in 7.5 except one. Whenever I use launcherpro, it never works correctly. None of my changes in its settings are saved, so if I enable 3D app drawer or change dock count to 1 and restart launcherpro, it doesn't stick/work. Does anyone have a fix or fixed version of launcherpro or am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Try ADW.Launcher instead? It's awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
def should be running ADW EX you wont have any problems :P

and for those saying battery life sucks. try running xcal's kernel with voodoo, i get 20+ hours a day with txting/games/web on this rom with that kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Sorry for the random noob question about this rom but is there no way to make the screen stay on when charging? Usually its settings -> apps -> dev

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
thats something samsung took out with the 2.2.1 roms
[Captivate Android Development] hybernator:
Ok I found out with my battery issue how to get it to charge past 98%. I had to plug it in, turn auto screen brightness off and brightness all the way up, and keep screen on while it charged. everytime the screen went to sleep it would say full, i'd unplug and it would immediately drop anywhere from 1 to 5% charge. with everything on and running it took another half hour to reach full but when I unplugged it stayed at 'F'. so I booted into CWM and wiped battery stats, this seems to have helped, 7 hrs later with moderate use i'm at 78% whereas this morning I would drop from full charge to 78% in an hour with barely any use. btw on a side note, the screen is really gorgeous with 100% brightness, just don't try it in a dark room, it might blind you
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
so wifi is not sleeping on both jk4 and jl3?
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
I just played with this for a while, and at first it seemed like it was working, wifi was sleeping when the screen was off, then it seemed to stop working... now I can't get it to sleep at all while screen is off. This is on 7.5 with JK4 modem. Battery is draining really fast.
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
kinda sucks...hope the wifi sleep will be taken care of in the next version

[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
I just installed 7.5 yesterday and 7.6 already?! :p

As I saw mentioned, I am having a problem with the rotate on 7.5 as well.. (when the phone is vertical the screen is landscaped and vice versa)

Also, I'm not sure if there is a way to fix it, or maybe there is a solution already available, but is there a way to get back to your home screen a bit more efficiently? My "Home" button acts as a "Back" button while the actual "Back" button does it's purpose and I don't particularly need two back buttons. It is a little frustrating when I am browsing the web and need to get back to my home screen and don't want to lose what I'm doing.

Otherwise everything else has been great! Battery life seems to have suffered a bit, but it's worth it. As soon as my paycheck is deposited I'll be sending a donation your way, Darky! :)
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Thanks guys. I reflashed everything with the wipe data and cache option, restored apps with Titanium Backup and everything is working fine (all apps and functions I use have been thoroughly tested, GPS, phone, etc.).

My battery life was exactly 8 hours with moderate to heavy use (downloading using 3G, lots of file moving, backups and installations, as well as testing apps and listening to music), but that was before clearing my battery stats (since the indicator wouldn't charge to full anyway), so I'll report again after a full drain+clear battery stats+full charge. I'm using Glitterball's 1.2GHz oc/uv kernel, but I only use it for undervolting (SetCPU caps clock at between 100 and 800MHz off the charger, maxes at 400MHz with screen off, conservative scaling).
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
Misled3k

Typo on my part. I did indeed use Root Explorer to place the Email.apk file into /system/app to begin with (rather than /system). I have checked permissions and ownership 644 and root.root just like all the other apk's I looked at. Email continues to FC.

I will wait for 7.6 to see what happens there. No big hurry for me.

I was turning off my phone, and hit the "Download(s)" button at the bottom of the list by accident, and now my phone is at a screen with the bot, saying "Downloading.. Do not turn off Target!!!" How can I leave this screen, what's it doing?
[Captivate Android Development] deakinsjello:
Pop out the battery and put it back to power up.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Are you sure you downloaded the captivate version of the rom? Sounds like you have the i9000 version flashed...go flash the kernel in the following thread and that should solve your problems.

I thought 7.6 was coming out tonight...

I got tied up, I'm at a friend's house with no USB cable... My phone is out of power and it's going to be tomorrow/today (12/30/2010)
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
That's cool man, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
Thanks! Helped a few things. Only problem now seems to be my 3G still isn't working. I may try to wipe it to see if that fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
First thing I would do if wiping didn't work would be to go make sure your APN settings are correct...if you did happen to flash the wrong version that might have gotten screwed up...
[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
Wiped it and still the same issue. I checked the APN settings and there were a couple of blank fields that shouldn't have been blank so I fixed that, but it is just switching back and forth and won't stay on 3G..

I had the same problem, the root cause was using the wrong version of 7.5; I was using the version developed for i9000, not the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Take your time to do it. 7.5 is so awesome.... that we can wait...
[Captivate Android Development] general-tso:
Some issues with this ROM

Issues:

1. Not able to change fonts. It shows force close.

2. Showing E (edge) base band instead of 3G.

Suggestions:

1. Add the options to change boot animation.

2. Add the options to change lock screen.

3. Change the model number to SAMSUNG-I897 instead of GT-I9000

Other than that, everything looks good!

ya I am running adw to all who said that but I was just wondering if there was a fix for launcher pro.
[Captivate Android Development] everest.deth:
Hey guys, quick questions, it had been brought to my attention that kernel versions u install are specific to a phone's network band, but i dont really think that makea sense, if i install this rom on my captivate it should have no impact on my network preferences and/or connections, right?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Try adw ex. Its the best launcher out there. You will be amazed by the scope of customization with it. Ofcourse IRS paid but worth every cent.

Even go launcher is some what better than launcher pro. LP is old no updates. Others are way ahead in race now.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"1. Not able to change fonts. It shows force close"

Unnstall the Helvetica Fonts that correct the FC

So I installed Darky 7.5 with the JL3 modem and the JM9 GPS fix and everything seems to be working great, except for one thing. When I try to install apps from the market, they will download, but then they won't install. I can watch the download finish on the notification bar, but when it's complete it just disappears. If I click on it again in the market, it just does the same thing again.

Anyone seen this before?
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
Try to do a factory reset or clear davlik cache in cwm
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I haven't seen in with installing new apps but from time to time when I try updating an App I get stalled in the Download process and other times in the install. I usually try updating again and it finally goes though entire Process.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So it seems they are working on 7.7 already but I decided to flash 7.6 today with Set kernel and jl2 modem plus the Assonance GPS fixes...lets see how this works out! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Do let me know hoiw it works out for u....are you like flashing 7.6 then kernel then modem? or putting everything in one zip folder?
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Rogers captivate?

Hi all,

Just a noob question, since i am second tired of waiting for Rogers to release the froyo 2.2.

Can i flash this ROM directly with samsung captivate stock kernel? Or am I suppose to flash the kernel first and then the ROM? A bit confusing for me

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Just root it and flash cwm using rom manager then flash this Tom from recovery. Read the first sticky thread before doing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I change everything in that zip before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] Misled3k:
Most ROMs bring a kernel bundled in the .zip file, this one brings xcaliburinhand's i9000 reoriented kernel.

So... you just root, install ROM Manager, and flash with CWM.

If you want to install a different kernel (perhaps an OC/UV one; I use gliterball's :D battery life is great after some UVing!), make sure to run the ROM atleast once, and then flash the kernel you wish with CWM.

What about that update script Darky added and ytt3r was having some troubles with... did you do any changes to it?
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Cool, will give this a try after work today, and will report back with the result.

Thanks all!

For those Flashing the Setiron Kernel over the Darky's which version you using,the 1.56XT?

Yes basically replace the kernel file (zimage) the modem and you can then flash it.

I did that plus added the GPS fix from Assonance to 7.6 and this ROM rocks!

[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Where did you get the gps file from Assonance? Where is it inside the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Thanks. I thought that I would have to go thru the process of signing the .zip file and all but with CWM it doesn't care right? I think that's what I remember. If it's that easy I'll download the no-wipe version and replace zImage and modem.bin as needed.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Do a search in the Assonance thread for GPS Cocktail two posts should come up and one has the attachment. Then just copy the Data and system folders into the ROM you want to flash and enjoy truly nice GPS performance. :)
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
After you're down with your installs, open up your launcher "preferences" and click on Restart XXXXX.

In my case, "Restart LauncherPro" and your apps will appear in your app drawer as intended.

Weird quirk, that's all.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
thank you. One last question, when i get the file to i put it in the rom itself or flash the GPS cocktail through clockwork recovery?

EDIT: I'm actually just dragging all the files into the ROM itself before flashing. I'm sure it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
actually it's already out
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You need to open the ROM file with Winrar then copy the folders from the GPS cocktail into the ROM.

That zip is not good for flashing with Clockwork.

Correct, just open with Winrar the ROM and then insert the kernel and modem to replace the ones there. Winrar will update the file then close winrar and flash. :)

It was just released ;)
