I'm going run some real-time tests with the UGJL2, then the same with the TLJL3.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
is this ROM a Wipe or a No Wipe ROM?

So if its wipe I dont have to clear data and cache before the install? And if its a No Wipe then just flash to stock then flash this through Clockwork

Finally how do you disable the lag fix (sorry for the noob question) I know how to make the folder but do all you have to do is restart the phone or do stuff through Clockwork?

thanks and please help
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
All of the instructions are in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
The changelog says that the modem is JL3. I included JL3 as the default because I like it the best. I've tried JL2 and I've had terrible experiences. I'm going to keep including JL3 as the default.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
After messing my phone up really badly, I was able to finally restore my 7.5 installation using Clockworkmod. However, I can't use the recovery menu or get to the Clockworkmod screen at all now. The power button doesn't work as the select button, I can only scroll uselessly through the options with the volume buttons. Is there a simple fix for this? Preferably something that doesn't require Odin, as I've never had a good experience using that and nearly ruined my phone almost every time Odin says 'Success!'.

P.S. Happy New Year! :D
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I have to confirm that for me at least in my area or what have you the JL3 crushed the JL2. GPS locked and voice directions started in less than 5 seconds 5 out of 5 times from the time I confirmed the destination after sending voice command.

Now this is EPiCiER!
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
installed 7.7 + xcal kernel + sdcard fix and running smooth, no wipe lovin this rom, this is my rom of choice till gingerbread comes forsure!!! thanks for the port and happy new year everyone
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
You guys are saying 7.7 have jl3. But why baseband is shown as jk4??. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Noticed this as well.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I flashed jl2 and then I flashed the standalone jl3 after ytt3r mentioned it was better.

Mine reads as follows "Baseband version T959TLJL3"

Found here: I9000 Modems
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Eh, I managed to fix the recovery menu. But I'm getting horrible battery drain with this ROM. I mean really bad. I have wifi, GPS, packet data, and sync all disabled, no apps running beside RingGuard, Where's My Droid, Gauge Battery Widget, Digi Clock Widget, and SetCPU (capping CPU between 100MHz and 800MHz, conservative setting). While in standby, my phone loses about 15% battery per hour. Switching to Glitterball's kernel made no difference. I can't compare this to my stock ROM performance, because attempting to flash the stock kernel using Odin or other methods always bricks my phone and requires a hardware jig. I already tried clearing the battery data and recalibrating, no difference.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Sorry for the noob question, but...

I flashed to stock.

Rooted.

I try flash this rom with Rom Manager.

It reboots and brings me into recovery mode and doesn't install the rom.

This happens every single time.

What can I do to get it to install?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Did you try selecting 'reinstall packages' or 'apply sdcard:update.zip' in the recovery menu? Doing that brings me to the Clockworkmod menu, where any files queued for flashing are automatically installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Thanks! That worked. I installed it form the ClockWorkMod menu. I am now running this amazing rom. :)

Actually, it's doing the voodoo stuff with the robot voice at the moment. :P
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
I don't doubt that you'll still feel it's amazing after you get it loaded.....but wouldn't you calling it, "amazing" before it even turns on be a bit premature? :p
[Captivate Android Development] luv2rip:
Major issues appeared in all Darky's ROMs I tried. 7.5, 7.6 & 7.7 :

1. Auto Rotate is Buggy. Not big issue as such.

2. Accelerometer sucks. I played Asphalt5 from Samsung Apps. Car rotates 360 degree and does not respect the accelerometer. May be something to do with problem 1.

3. No Audio when playing videos on any app. Youtube, Video Player, 3rd party player etc.

When the headphone is inserted, then the voice comes from phone speakers instead of from the headphone.

4. Sometimes, when phone resumes from standby, WiFi does not connect. When check in settings, WiFi status is "Error"

Rest is great.

Kind of set back without properly working Video and Accelerometer for Games. Major set back.
[Captivate Android Development] luv2rip:
How about start the phone, Enable USB debugging, go to a directory where adb executable is available and try, adb reboot recovery
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Thanks for the suggestion. Reflashing a bunch of stuff including the kernel with CWM solved my problem. I'm still experimenting with stuff in an attempt to get better battery life though, because mine is absolutely horrible.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
How's everyone's GPS? I finally have a completely flawless GPS. It's so perfect that I went out and bought a windshield mount for my Cappy......LOL.....Let me know guys if you could use it.
[Captivate Android Development] staplebox:
First off - I really like this ROM. It is smooth and looks good. Favorite so far and should do me until 2.3 drops. Thanks to those that made it possible.

I have only one weird bug and I am not sure if it is this ROM or some other changes I made, since I made them all around the same time. Too many variables. I didn't find the bug reported in any of the 3 threads below.

Upgraded to 7.7 - went fine.

Changed to the SpeeedMod kernal - went fine.

Flashed the JL2 modem ( to try it out - so far so good)

The bug -

This am I did the whole battery bump charge thing, I've done it a bunch of time and am fairly sure I did it right. Anyway, after all the charging, with the phone finally booted after clearing the batt statts, it was at 100%. As soon as I unplugged the cord the battery showed 93%. All other checks on the battery also showed 93%. That (stock) battery charged separately all night - it should have been at 100% After running the phone a bit this am (net, email, etc.) it still shows 93%.

Any thoughts?

ETA: I tried the below steps 5 times in a row and managed to get the battery up to 98% in the end. So it did help a bit. Just to add some info - I did flash with a full battery. I do swap between OEM and the ebay 2 pack of extra batts though. They don't seem quite as good as oem, but they are cheap and helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
1. Remove cable from device and turn it off.

2. Wait about 30 seconds and plug your cable back in.

3. When it reaches 100%, unplug and turn it back on.

4. Plug cable back in and wait for it to reach 100% again.

Repeat these steps about 3 times and you you should be good to go.

Also, remember to ALWAYS flash a new ROM at 100% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Okay after leaving the phone not charging over night I have to conclude that the battery life on this rom is stellar. With most other 2.2+ roms even in airplane mode over night they lost about 7-20% battery life, but this one lost...0%! Went to sleep at 42% and woke up 7hrs later at 42%. Just amazing. I may be a full Darky convert after this lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
GPS Fix!! (Works Perfectly on my Cappy)

Here's the GPS fix and instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
So your claiming doing this will result in my Captivate GPS tracking my car 100% flawlessly? I highly doubt anything claiming that will work. I hope I am wrong of course but mine is working halfway decent with Da_G's fix so I will see what the feedback is on this one.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I drove from Jersey City, NJ to Philly, and it was 100% all the way at any speed and at any location.

Also drove around city streets for about 45 minutes, trying my best to throw it off. STILL 100%!
[Captivate Android Development] gothicgeek13:
This is my first post here, so please forgive me if my questions are newbish. I am kinda new to the custom rom scene, so I'm not fully versed in how to do everything yet. Previously I had ran several different versions of Cognition, with varying results. Since flashing Darky I have been amazed with how much better signal I am getting, as well as how much faster the phone is overall, and the impeccable GPS signal. I am having a few issues though. Battery being number one, since flashing this rom my battery life has really sucked. This morning I unplugged my phone it was at 100%, now about 2 hours later after only making 2 quick calls I am already down to 77%.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get better battery life? Thank you for your help in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Alright man I am going to trust your word and try it out. I will follow instructions to a T and see how good it ends up working. I won't be able to test the tracking for a few hours though. Hopefully it works good in my passenger seat because that's where I usually put it since it falls off of my dash.

Never in a million years have I thought about buying a Captivate car mount. Like I swear until I saw your post that thought had never crossed my mind before. So if it makes it the GPS so good that I go out and buy a car mount I think you will go down in history for providing the ultimate GPS fix for the Captivate.

(which seems unlikely to be honest)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Just for info, when I post anything for others to use, I test, test again and re-test. Also, make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY with no deviations. Please post your results. BTW...LOL...the mount was $10 at BestBuy.

In keeping with proper protocol with these threads, The Googlegps.zip itself is NOT mine. I can't remember who the creator is, but my part was the installation tweaking portion ONLY.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Besides the Battery Recalibration that was Posted above go to Spare Parts APP Scroll down to WiFi Sleep Policy and Select Android Default.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
$10 isn't bad I might actually buy one. I have found when my phone can sit in the dash of a car the MyTracks are much more accurate compared to when I am driving and its in the passenger seat. I won't judge it until I can drive later and test the tracking but I followed the instructions to a T. I got a fast lock on Da_G's fix too though and tracking is what I am worried about.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Another noob question.

I understand that we should wipe data and cache if we are having force closes and other problems after you install the ROM.

But my question is, is it just safer that right before you install the rom through CWM, you just wipe data before you flash the ROM in CWM, then flash the ROM the normal way?

Please help
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Tracking was my concern too. Most fixes are fine while standing still, but this one was spot on while moving.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
you are the men....i think i never saw any satellite locked in my phone till date....i had some good gps with assonance....but i just lazily tried your fix and even in my house sitting on my bed i got 6 satellite lock.... impressive...

@yttr please include this gps fix in the next version..
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Make sure to drive around for some real-time testing. Just plug in a location, and see what hapoens when you drive. Glad it works for you!

I'm not sure. I always restore to stock, master clear and restore to stock again. Good question though. Hopefully we can get a concrete answer.
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
Thanks for the port. This rom is great.
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
actually you should go to i9000 and talk to darkyy about that, it's best if you talk to the original rom maker about that.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Isn't the case that new settings work great for the first few days and then they suck again because AGPS (maybe something else as well) gets stale? This is what I remember from the early days of GPS experimenting on stock and Tayutama ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Anyone have the link for the sd card fix? I see people talking about it here but I'm having a hard time finding it. Thanks!

*Nevermind I found it on OP
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Where do u see how many satelites are locked to ur phone?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Use an app called GPS Status from the market. Let's you know how many satellites locked and the time to first fix.
[Captivate Android Development] thewoose:
I use GPS Test from the Market ... Very nice GPS testing app. And with this amazing ROM I get quick locks even while I'm inside!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
In the Instructions where is it says Check these Application settings,where to I look to check this?

Thanks

Never Mind I found them.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I don't have car and I never cared about GPS. But u tried it for walking direction and purposely I walked in wrong direction. Route calculation and everything worked so well. I think I will use this GPS now. :P
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I used sgstools which comes with this rom. Secret codes > GPS setting lbstestmode > application settings
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Outstanding! Another satisfied customer...LOL...If anyone else has tried this fix for driving, please post your results.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I'm waiting for some more results to roll out so I can be sure it's not just my phone that has the great GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I just did the Fix and locked 8 Satellites in about 30-45 seconds(if even that long) and it raining and overcast outside. I haven't tried Driving and testing but it seems to really work GREAT!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Good to hear.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I did the update.zip and also did the hard mod where you scratch off the white coating on the battery cover and its made an amazing difference. Not only does it track 100% now but I pick up 11-12 sats outside and I even get 7-8 inside my house on the 1st floor not near a window.
[Captivate Android Development] DarrellRaines:
I am having the same battery issue with the phone only charging to 98% even after reconditioning the battery and all that jazz, but to be honest I have been using the phone a fair amount today and the battery is just.now at 90%.

So for moderate usage like I do, and to only lose 8% is exceptional and i'll just keep it like it is.

I do want to know though if anyone can refresh my memory on how to change tue default sync times for the accounts. I did it once or twice in the past and can't seem to remember how now.

Oh the gingerbread keyboard is working great! Haptic feedback with autocorrect and sound! I defenitly need to backup this version for future use.

I havebt tried the gps yet after flashing the fixes in this thread but I will once I am out on the road today.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Glad to hear about the GPS! I must have missed the "scratch off the white coating" from the battery thing. What exactly was that for?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Can someone please give a concrete answer to this I really would like to know?

Because I understand that we should wipe data and cache if we are having force closes and other problems after you install the ROM.

Hello guys, i have the usual problem with the keyboard of gingerbread.

I installed the v7.7 darky wipe, after wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition as shown in the video example, and then I installed the keyboard that comes in the folder /sdcard/gingerbread_keyboard.

The keyboard however has two problems (the problems that i had in the previous versions as darky 5.6):

1. The vibration is not working

2. Often makes me crash applications, especially when I use the pointer to select the

text

How can I fix??

Heeeelp
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
I just found that many games including need speed are failing to.start. could be a need for wipe before flash??
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Coming from Cognition I do not have to ODIN back to stock? I can just install this through rom manager or should i do a wipe of my data before or what? What is the protocol as the instructions in OP just say go ahead and flash without doing anything else.

The thread is over in general section and it's titled "GPS improvement something different" it has pictures and everything. It's easy to do and had helped everyones GPS who's done it.

[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Just got Darky's on for the first time and was wondering... why no new market? EDIT: I t updated itself nvm.

So far so good btw and I did not ODIN or anything, just wiped data and cache and used CWM to get it on right over Cognition!
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
I flashed 7.7 after I flashed 7.0.2 last night. I didnt run into any bugs, just want to keep up with the joneses. I put gps cocktail in the rom before I flashed it. Im not sure if that helped, but I got a lock within 30 seconds and an accuracy of 10 m in my garage.

I also like to add, email works right from the get go, no adding or subtracting apk's.

My bad, fc on attempt to recieve email.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
If you are using Darky's 7.7 or Cezar's ROM along with the Battery Icon Mod app, applying any battery mod results in the Power button menu breaking and forcing a reboot anytime you attempt to bring it up.

I posted info about the problem in the Battery Icon Mod thread here if you're having the same problems I am: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10254562&postcount=542

auto rotate

Thanks for the great rom. the auto rotate has a big bug for me. I flashed it twice and under cwm i checked the captivate version but when it boots up I have the screen in landscape when it should be in portrait. If there is a specific rom do download for the captivate please reply with link. again thanks for the rom and all the great input

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Only the rom in this thread will work. One and only, period. That's it.
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
Reflased with 7.7 and a different kernal. I only got in the 1200's, but I dont care. When I restored all the apps with data, I didnt restore email, camera or camera firmware and email works great with no fc's and I tried barcode scanner and camera 360 and both work great. I flashed the mod for the ext sd, but I wont test it out until tomorrow.

im trying to flash setiroN 1.5.6 but it keeps aborting? Is that normal?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
If you are using a rom from ANY other page than this and you HAVE a CAPTIVATE there is NO guarantee that it will work or will not unless the op states that is intended for the captivate.

THIS rom has been ported specifically for the captivate which

CORRECTS

the problem you are describing. It sounds as you dl the i9000 rom of Darky's or someone else and not this one which loads correctly and NOT in landscape. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
:confused:My power button menu works fine and I'm on 7.7 with the circular battery icon enabled. It has also worked fine on 7.0.1,7.5 and 7.6 for me and never crashed when opening the menu from the power button that has the options to either reboot, recovery, download and off etc. so I have no clue what you are talking about.

lol and I am hitting the button now like I'm 8 years old trying to break open a pinata to see if it crashes as I am actually typing this and it flawlessly opens the menu and I hit the return button and it goes back to the main page, again and again now I hit reboot and........Yatzee! It rebooted as it should and the other options work as they should also. :confused:

[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
I have 7.7 and just flashed the Speedmod kernel and ended up with a soft-brick while attempting to reboot into recovery.

Someone mentioned that the ROM Manager in CWM might not be perfectly set up for 2.2.1 ROM's when you attempt to reboot into recovery from the menu inside.

Just a heads up....

Spent the last hour recovering.

Back to stock and recharging to full so that I can get back up on the horse that kicked me off.
