really buggy for me, everything start to force close all the time, incoming calls ring ONCE then i drop all signal and get a " SIM removed, Reboot Phone" error message, untill i flashed over a kernel to smooth things out the phone was UNUSABLE it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow, i have a 1996 nokia than ran faster. lol. just throwin up my experience in this, going back to stock now but my phone has sat at the Galaxy S GTi9000 screen for half hour... wtf... OH and BTW ever since flashing the Hard Reset (power + vol down) doesn't work....
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Need to more info. Where you coming from Stock Eclair 2.1 or another Custom ROM? What Kernel did you use when you Flashed over? Are you sure all things you Flashed were made for Captivate phone?
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
great now i have a bricked phone i bought out of contract for 500 thx.. no blaming anyone i know this can happend but never happened before now i got a phone that wont boot that i just bough.... wonderful the first time i try to do something to android it f*cks it up,.... back to good old windows phones.......
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
got the 8.0 version of this rom for captivate at the beginning of this thread... went from stock, rooted, superuser access the works done my fair share of flashing so i'm by far not a noob but won't say i know it all cuz i don't lol, everything was STOCK just rooted, superuser access, Busybox
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
ps i missunderstood the kernel question when i first read it, so to answer that i used the speedmod kernel for CWM 500 hz for captivate NOT the i9000 galaxy
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Hate to hear you having this problem. You can't even get to recovery mode with 3 Button
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
wtf is three button everywhere i look it's 2 buttons, power + VOL DOWN... for the captivate... and no i can't get into recovery i thought i said that... still sitting at the same screen just chillin, feels great to buy a 500 phone to brick it the first time u do anything to it... that's why i was soooo sketch about doing it to android i'll never buy another one lol, good old windows phones are soooooo much easier and more reliable to flash as i flashed my Fuze and Tilt 2 about once a week if not more often and never had an issues vs, the first time i do it ... 500 bux GONE... well 1000 or more cuz now i have to buy another out of contract phone from the biggest rip off in service ATT
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
First of all Android didn't f%^&* anything up you did!

Now can you get the 3 button mode or did I read that you lost it?

If you think you lost it how are you trying to use it?

And finally what is the batch number from the bottom of your phone, should be a number like 1005,1007,1009 or something similar?
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
when i plug the phone up to charge on the PC via USB it does detect the device and installs the drivers and the number is 1007
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Speedmod

Hey guys just making sure of something.

Because of the fact that Im extremely paranoid about flashing custom ROMs and things on to my phone I decided to switch to the SpeedMod kernel which I LOVE right now. (Great battery life especially in idle something ive been dreaming for and very snappy)

I disabled voodoo before, backed up the original Darky kernel, then flashed the Speedmod kernel.

I just am making sure now that im using Speedmod kernel, when the 8.1 does come out for the captivate I dont need to change any thing right because of the fact that Ill already have the Speedmod Kernel installed on the phone?

Please help and just making sure.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
OK well the fact that you have batch 1007 is a good thing. Batch 1008 you'd be f%^&d. Disconnect from your pc, power down if you can't since you don't have 3 button remove your battery,external sd if you have one and your sim card.

Do you have oden 1 click for captivates? if not get it.

next replace your battery this next step you will have to do in a fluid motion ok so read this first and then do it. Hold down vol. up,move thumb down to hold vol up and vol down together,hold the power button down, your screen should start to boot after a while and then go black then come back on and go black a second time. on the second black screen slide your thumb to vol. down while still holding the power button. phone should boot into download mode A big ass yellow warning screen telling you not to disconnect. next start up oden and then connect your usb it should pick it up and then flash that sob and you should boot back up and be stock again.

I'm assuming ytt3r's adding speedmod to the rom, if he releases a no wipe you should be able to just flash over what you have now. the question is what kernal is he including there's 3 versions for the captivates just check that it's the one you want if not flash the one of your choice.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I was typing my response to help you when you posted this. 3 button is (1) VOLUME UP (2) VOLUME DOWN (3) POWER BUTTON= 3 BUTTONS! Is that clear enough for you? Now listen first of all there are warnings all over this f'ing site about f^&%^g with your phone at your own risk, YOU chose to do it and have nobody to thank but yourself, so chill the f out. Now with that having been said carry on with my directions above. And if and when you get back to stock go read everything you have to before coming in here like someone here damaged your phone ffs please.

*The reason I say this is because you had NO clue wtf 3 button was validating the fact that you did not do your homework.
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
doesn't boot and show any yellow warnings, it actually boots into ClockworkMod recovery...... i'm going to try some things from here and see what happens, however i don't know how to make a choice from the menu, i mean i only have vol up and down and power buttons so i see that up and down scroll how i make a selection i don't know
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
lol NVM the power button is the "enter" or "select" button, trying to do restore now. will let you all know in a few what happens thx for the help. oh and BTW what i mean earlier is, well you are right android didn't F**** anything up but something with the ROM and the device didn't set right or didn't install right so flashing an android device was a f**** up not the droid OS itself lol i personally think that it's the best phone OS out there
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
See now just relax please you will be fine. I'm not going to say it's impossible but it's perdy damn hard to kill these phones completely. Going into recovery is a great sign. Now seriously you need to read up on this before you bork your **** again. I think most everyone here has had some problem at one time or another just don't come in here like someone here pissed in your cornflakes and the members here will get you through your problem. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
good news about my captivate, found a replacement super amoled, just waiting for it to get here, 2-3 weeks

using an iphone 3g sucks balls :( least im running android 2.2.1 :D
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Update on 8.1

Sorry I've been so far behind on releasing 8.1. I rebooted to OSX 10.6 and when I tried to come back to Ubuntu, Gnome was borked. This afternoon I finally fixed Ubuntu and I should have the ROM up tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Great news Eks' except for the using an iPhone part lol. I bought my test phone that was going to be used for parts for $50 because the case, glass where trashed and battery missing since the phone fell off a guys hip while doing 120 mph riding his motorcycle lmao but it's worth it to use to hammer this stuff and not worry too much. I suggest everyone try to find such deals if they are venturing into this realm.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
WB ytt3r your fort has been held down by all of us you're in good hands. I think :confused:

lol
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
OK so i did the recovery from the backup i did right before the flashing of anything. it completes, says everything completed fine and on reboot the same boot animation comes up from this ROM and not my stock one as well as the fact that it still just sits there on the "Galaxy S GTi9000" screen for now about 10-15 minutes. what's goin on wtf.. now i'm just confused... do i have to flash the stock kernel back on there as well, if so is one available here somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
ebay has the s-amoled screen + front glass for 70$ shipped, + 2.99$ for the tools

so imma grab that and fix my phone, everything works just not the amoled part of the screen its shattered.

already missin the phone, the 2.2.1 android on iphone 3g is like running android 1.1 on htc dream LOL
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
yeah nothing works i've done all the options i can in CWM recovery nothing works it's just freezes at the boot screen... sigh ... bricked it is then
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright well the speedmod kernel I'm running is the captivate k12 500. If for some reason it is not that kernel what do I do? Please help im confused. I love speedmod. But what do I do if it isn't speedmod.

I have a backup of the other kernel that came with Darkys 8.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Awesome super excited can't wait.

Just a couple questions.

1. I'm assuming you'll be using the captivate speed mod?

2. Will it be a no wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
You did a back up of the original correct? move that to your pc and go back into oden and do a master clear and reflash it, seems some files are borked in there you need to clean all that crap out.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
K12? "M" is the latest. But just wait until he releases. if it's not the one you want let the rom install and when done just flash the kernal you want after that not anything to really worry about. I always save back ups to my ext. sd and my pc as well just in case. Just a suggestion if you are worried.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Yes I'm running K12 M. But that wouldn't affect the install of the ROM at all if he were to keep the kernel the same as the old?

I could just flash over and then reflash the kernel of my choice?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"N" Version Now out for SpeedMod. It mainly changes the auto display settings I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Shoot I read wrong I'm running k12n. But if the ROM that gets released is a different kernel. That would.affect the install right? It would just change the kernel. Then I could flash the kernel I want over?

Finally if something were to happen like for some reason it does install could I just recover a nandroid back up?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
New Darky has "M" SpeedMod so you go could back to your "N" by re flashing it after new ROM Flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
But that shouldn't affect the installation of the ROM correct?
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
InFRINGE, have you flashed 8.1 with an I9000 kernel? I need to know quickly, it'd be great if you could get on the #darkyoncappy irc on freenode.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Are you F&%*&G kidding me you started modding your phone and you don't have any of the necessary tools that are used? :eek: You're about a rude son of a gun aren't ya for a person that needs help? You ever hear of G_O_O_G_L_E? It's neat you go and type WWW. in that thing you're on right now and add google.com to that and another screen pops up you type ODIN 1 CLICK DOWNLOAD in the box there marked search and hit enter. Friggin amazing it is there :rolleyes: If you don't find it there or someone posts a link for you before I do I'm uploading it now to mediafire, don't know why I'm doing for ya but I guess I realize that I was a senseless blockhead at one time. :p

Here I'll even go a extra yard for ya ODIN 1 CLICK DOWNLOAD

*sorry for the sarcasm folks but I couldn't resist, must be the blockhead in me still :cool:

You should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
That is Correct

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright that's good. Thanks man

I never understood this part of ROMs

If I don't like v8.1 could I reflash v8 thru CWM. and or restore my v8 back up?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
No I haven't bro sorry! I'm not on my pc or I would do the IRC thing. but you can pm me. I'm trying to help this guy here but let me know what you need.

EDIT: I'm on there now 7:30 your time nobody home??
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Thanks Ron saved me a 150mb of bandwidth partner lol ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
That is correct also.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Perfect cannot wait for this to come out.

I love Darkys so much thank you guys
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I'm there ytt3r but nobody's home:confused:

Taken care of.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
If you are not used to flashing don't get trigger happy and grab the Darky 8.1 i9000 version WAIT for ytt3r's release he has fixed the issues with SU and Market. Unless you know how to code wait for ytt3r's ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ptulluri:
Screen rotation messed up after 8.1 install

After i installed 8.1 i am having issue with the screen rotation. When i flip the screen it flips upside down. Can you please help. I did a complete wipe and installed still this has not resolved the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
You got the 8.1 for i9000 phones. You can change the Kernel to one made for Captivates that should correct it.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
It will, but Darky' official ROM comes with some other issues. With switching to the edify scripting language, he forgot to set a lot of permissions that I corrected. Flashing mine will fix the market FC you're probably experiencing along with issues with superuser permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
You the man... downloading now and will tell you how it goes. I have always done no wipe and everything has worked out extremely well. Stoked for a new kernel and better battery life even though my battery lasts for freakin' ever.

We all appreciate your work ytt3r.

Quick question: Seeing as I am on a Rogers Captivate should I flash my modem to the official modem from the Rogers 2.2 update to have the best speeds and signal strengths?
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
has anyone tried this vs phoenix? comments?
[Captivate Android Development] ptulluri:
can you please point to that page kindly.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
What kernel is this using?

Is this a no wipe or a wipe?

And does this fix haptic feedback on home button?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Speedmod, no wipe, yes.

You are welcome.

Anyone else think that the screen is WAY too dark with auto brightness on? It is so dark my colors look like crap.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
I've noticed that too... I think its a kernel issue, take it up with hardcore.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I am still getting either 0 or 15 in the test. There aren't any intermediate levels still... any way to get the level to change more than either the lowest or the brightest? Fairly annoying as it was the same on 8.0 with the other kernel, so I would assume it is not a kernel thing.

Also I score a lot less is quadrant now as voodoo is off.... should I enable it or not care? What are the pros and cons?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright and do y'all think its worth the upgrade from v8 right now? Im waiting for the phone to charge but I would like to hear everyones comments on performance and battery compared to v8 please.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
So whats the deal with the new modem? I've never heard of this modem. All I know is its from China... Any details would be great!
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
you can always use an older version of hardcore's kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I had the same problem with the reoriented kernel from before... maybe it is a darky issue or an issue with my phone ?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Can someone please comment on the main differences between v8 and v8.1.

Im currently waiting for my phone to fully charge till I flash it but I just want to hear everyones comments about performance and or battery life.

My current set up:

Darkys v8

Speedmod Kernel

Tell me how the battery and performance compares to v8 and if its worth the flash?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Battery life seems to be worse so far and with 8.1 (I could be wrong) and I get about 1300 versus 1600 with 8.0 in quadrant if you care.

Everything else seems fine. I was getting FCs with superuser, but I cleared data and everything is A OK. The new modem seems to be better.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
never really believed much in quadrant scores. more about the actual functionality of a ROM.

And I was planning to wipe data and cache through CWM before regardless just to be safe and because I only have 22 apps to restore which I dont mind doing.

So in your mind is it worth the upgrade or no?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
My philosophy is always be up to date :)

I just like trying new things with android, so I would say go for it and no need to wipe. I think I am going to try another kernel though. I heard xcal is good. Probably flash that and see whats up.

The modem is most definitely better. Also maybe my battery is just going down quick because I have had lots of restarts and flashing going on.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya same here but I mean Im loving v8 and my battery isnt horrible I goto zero in about 13 hours which gets me through the day.

And what kernel is best for battery life everyone said Speedmod but I mean im getting the same battery life I used to get any reccomendations any one else about better battery?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
With 8.0 I was getting an easy 2 days out of my battery :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Holy crap how in the world did you do that?

Am I just an insane heavy user, I text a lot during the day, and receive emails thats it. Wow...

But on the other hand besides telling me how you get that battery I just dont want to flash it if im not going to receive anything more...

I was hoping for better battery, working haptic on home button, gingerbread keyboard working and haptic working on that, and what do you mean I dont need to wipe? I thought you had too just to make sure everything worked well...

If I were not to wipe and something went wrong would I just reflash but before just wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Just backup your rom and then flash the new version. If things are messed then wipe and flash. I have just flashed every version over the other since 7.7 and haven't had a real issue. Super user acted up on 8.1, but I cleared the data and it is cool now.

I would kill myself if I had to re setup or restore my setting and apps every time.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hahahaha I mean I only have 22 apps.

But it would be nice and convenient just to flash over.

But isnt it nothing that a Nandroid backup couldnt restore as a last resort?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright fully charged, have 8.1 on phone.

Is it worth the upgrade really need more feedback please.... :)
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Stop being a wanker and just flash it on. I'm off to bed to read A Deepness in the Sky.

Cya dude.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Lol im going for it later night man

reflash mine works
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Before you flashed did you make sure you deleted everything from within the CWM/Kernel options? Dalvik cache and the factory reset option.

Going to flash this bad boy after the Bears game on Sunday :) I've been a fan of MikeyMike's stuff but this ROM seems to have a lot of good feedback and work on it.

P.S Maybe it's just chrome not playing nicely with the Mediafire link, but has anyone had issues with the download just pausing yet saying it's downloading? It was stuck at 79mb and pause/resume wouldn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I'm having issues with Chrome and mediafire. The first time I clicked "Click here to start download..", I got some error about a token being illegal. Even after restarting Chrome and clearing data, the "Click here to start download.." link does absolutely nothing for me.

Using Firefox and ABP seems to get the download started, gonna see if it will complete successfully though.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I warned them not to flash Darkys i9000 and wait for 8.1 from you but they do it anyway. :rolleyes: And you thought I would be the one :D
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
MikeyMike does a great job also but I know that ytt3r listens to what the users here have to say regarding apps and now the kernal etc. and this is quickly becoming a very hot comMODity (pun intended). Everyone here at XDA is top shelf as this is "the" site that is mentioned anywhere on the net as the place to go for reliable information.

Personally I'm glad to see ytt3r taking a little bit longer to make sure the rom is working properly, I know things happen and nobody's perfect but the releases are getting better with every update.

MTP can not work

Everything is ok. Only the MTP application cannot work on my phone.When I plug the usb cable, the MTP does't auto start,so I cannot see the phone disk one my computer.I reflash the kernel back to the k12m,cannot fix it.

Home haptic cannot work yet.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Try putting the phone in "ask every time" mode turn debugging back on and reboot your pc. then connect your cable to your phone then plug into you pc.

try not to get to crazy with flashing back and forth and see if there's a fix for your problem first, 9 out of 10 times someone has had the same problem and you'll get sorted.

as for the haptic sorry i can't help you since I'm not using this rom, however I thought that MikeyMike had a fix his rom but then removed it from his next release so not sure if there's some relation. It works on mine, well at least I think it does lol if it's supposed to "thump" your finger when you hit the home key then yes mine works lmao also when I hold the key down (long) and I don't really care for it either way so I never bothered with it.

Edit: OK now out of curiosity I had to check damn it and it thumps on long key and "task manager" opens, the back key if I long press thumps also but only goes back if it isn't already. The search key thumps if long pressed and my Voice search pops open and the menu key thumps also if long pressed and the google search opens. Not sure if that's all correct lol but thats what they do.
