[Captivate Android Development] H03!:
many thx! i try it now without darkyapp!

i will report

thxthxthx
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It will be interesting to see if flashing a Captivate without the Darky App makes this ROM work for us. I had thought about trying to install it bypassing the App but I had done had 2 aborts and I was tried of re flashing 8.1 over and over. Hope this works.
[Captivate Android Development] rbeck1078:
I did try twice using the darkys app, but had the bootloops, and force closes, as a last ditch effort i tried without the app, and several hours later it has been flawless for me. One other thing I Noticed, the modem for the captivate in this rom is JI6, I did Flash JK4 also. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
If I put my phone in download mode and one click master clear with Odin, will this put my phone back to a usable state?
[Captivate Android Development] rbeck1078:
You cant Master Clear in Download mode, you flash back to stock by clicking Start in odin while in download mode. With the phone booted after flash back to stock, go into settings, applications, development, and check debugging mode. Then you can go back to odin and master clear, but back up your sd cards, it will erase everything!
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I cant't put it in debugging mode because it loops and loops and loops. So If I put it in download mode I can flash back to stock. I don't mind my SD, I have a back up in my PC (it's longer, but still I have it there)
[Captivate Android Development] rbeck1078:
Flash Back to stock first, then you will be able to enable debugging.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
First thing I'll be doing when I'm back home. Believe me.... THIS WILL BE A NEVER ENDING DAY. I'm seriously thinking about trying something esle, maybe firefly 2.0.4 or going back to GingerborgMod
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
If I could just access my external sd for five minutes...
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Looks like this rom took a nose dive into the shallow end :-\
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
I am not sure if this is going to help anyone, but here is what I did to get the ROM on and stable. (Its pretty basic).

1. Download the ROM from the link in OP

2. Place on the Root of SD

3. Flash in CWM (this installed I9000 version)

4. Download Captivate Kernal (I used SpeedMod)

5. Put Kernal on SD card

6. Use CWM to install Kernal-- Reboot.

After this you can use CWM to tweak and use Lagfix.

I have had no issues (i.e. force closes, etc) and have been stable for the last 14 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Yes you should be able to get to Stock in Download Mode and then Clear. Have you seen this Video:

Does anyone have a link that is current and up to date for all modems?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Three questions? Did you have Darky's App on your phone,did you have Lagfix running when you flashed the new ROM to your Phone and did you reboot after ROM Flash before you added the Kernel or did you Flash Kernel after ROM before any Reboot?

Thanks

How do you acces the ext sd from CWM? I can't access it and I can't access internal sd. So it would be useless to put SpeedMod on my Ext SD. Will have to flash back to stock
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
1. I did not have the app on my phone

2. I did not have lagfix running when I flashed to Darky 9.02

3. I believe I did reboot once before adding the kernal

Not sure if I did anything dangerous, but it worked well for me.

EDIT- Just for information purposes, I was on a DOC based ROM that was cooked in their online kitchen prior to flashing to Darky 9.02
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Big thanks to ya!
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
I put the ROM .zip on my internal SD. In CWM, I choose "install from SD". Scroll down to the .zip i just put there, and away we go.

Same goes for the SpeedMod .zip
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Not sure you can access an External SD Card via CWM but I have never really looked. I haven't read any of your other Posts,why can't you access your phone's sdcard?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the info. So far how do you like 9.02 vs your older DOC based ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I got the eternal loop boot syndrome. My phone won't even give me five seconds of stability so I copy the kernell to my internal sd
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
This Rom has a long ways to go before it can live up to its claimm of "Stable". I dont care how I install it, it constantly does FC's and when performing the media scans which causes it to reboot.

I have tried as the OP directions stated. no good

I have tried it without the Darkyy App. no good

I have went back to stock then master cleared. no good

I have went back to stock, master cleared, then skipped the lagfix option. no good

I have tried every way I can and came to the conclusion that it just isnt worth it until the bugs get worked out..
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Overall I have always liked the Darky experience, and I have been flashing since version 7.0.

The DOC ROM I was using (I had it for about a week) was pretty snappy, but Darky just seems more responsive. I find the GPS better now that we have the "Fast Fix" in place. The battery still leaves some to be desired, but I know i can tweak my usage to suit.

After everything is said and done, Darky 9.x is one of the 2 ROMs that I find to be the best overall experience (Andromeda is the other).
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I guess you going to have to Get to Stock(if you can)root phone, get Rom Manager App on phone,place all the files you going to need on SD card before Flashing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Just a thought here. For the few of those that seem to have 9.02 going did you ever have Darky's App on your phone? Also has one's that had Darky's App and removed it ever,have you had a "Stable" 9.02. The reason I asked I noticed on my phone that even after I uninstalled Darky's App there still a Darky Folder on my phone with files in it. I wonder if the 9.02 ROM still sees this Folder and that causing problems?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Do you mean that it might not be rooted???? The installation of 9.0.2 on CWM seems to have it rooted...
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
When I started to look into Darky 9.02, I installed the Darky app while running my DOC ROM. I opened it up and took a look at some of the settings, and decided not to flash then (I was going to wait for a port from ytt3r). I uninstalled the app.

When ytt3r updated the OP with the download link, I downloaded the ROM from there. Then flashed as I mentioned before. I am stable, and have been since installing the SpeedMod kernal.

I have not checked to see if the files from the app are still around on the device, but will do as soon as I can.

UPDATE- I have a Darky Folder on the device, but it looks to be from the ROM, not the app. Because I am running the ROM now, I cannot say for sure if those files were there before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It will be interesting to see what you find. Since you never "technically used" the App you may have the Folder but it never came into play. The guys that actually Flashed the ROM with the App running,then had failure,then removed the App and tried again but failed again may have some remnants of Darky's App somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
I do have a folder called "Darky" which just contains the boot animation and circle battery mod and install script. It is probably from the ROM, not the app.

I think you might be on to something with the app failure, and it leaving traces on the device. Worth looking into.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"UPDATE- I have a Darky Folder on the device, but it looks to be from the ROM, not the app. Because I am running the ROM now, I cannot say for sure if those files were there before flashing."

Here are the Files in my Darky's Folder and I am running Darky's 8.1:

circle-battery

fixed-lockscreenwallpaper

install.log

nexus-boot

no-fonts

no-samsung

speedmod

Now all all files show 0KB except the install.log and I wouldn't think this cause problems but it a thought at least.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
On Darky 9.02 The "Darky" Folder contains:

circle-battery 0K

Install.log 7.58K

Nexus-boot 0K

That's it.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Do you have the Circle Battery on the Phone and when you Boot do you get the Nexus animation?
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Yes, and Yes.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
holy begeezus i finally got this running... unfortunately without all the stuff you can add from the Darkyy app but it is that kernel version.. I went back to versioin 8.1 and downloaded the most current speedmod kernel and then installed 9.0.2 again then immediately went back into recovery and flashed the new kernel and what do you know... running :)...

OP if you just do a kernel change within the install zip of 9.0.2 it would save us alot of headaches :).. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I hope it holds its stability for you. Seems others get going also then it fails later
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
yeah i am still optimistic about this.. but for now it seems to be ok... we shall see
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
If you want to add the extras from the DarkyRom app, you can doing it now then reflash. I wasn't able to flash this ROM from stock with the extras, so I flashed a completely different ROM, selected my extras in Darky's app, then flashed 9.0.2.....
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
problem with that idea is that it will revert back to that original kernel and I would have to re-flash that as well.. before I go through all that I think I am going to let it stabilize for a bit just to make sure.. I dont want to get this the way I want it and have it start FC'ing on me and doing the boot loop thing..

I am also not going to install any of my apps at the moment.. I want to make sure if this does that I havent tainted it with other apps
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I see your point. The original kernel wasn't good for me either. It made my Home button act as a Back button. I finally found the same kernel (see it in my signature) that's made for the i897. Same SpeedMod with no Home button issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Anyone else having "brightness" issues? I have to set my brightness level abnormally high just for it to equal mid-levels of other ROMs I've flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
That's due to the Speedmod kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
You bet all roms will be like this? Lol
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Wow. Why are you guys bashing this rom? I didn't even go back to stock and it is running great. One of my favorites. If you can't get it to run it is because of user error. I would like to see alot more roms use this script. It is pushing the boundaries and I like it.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Ahhhh, Ok.......Guess it's gonna have to be a trade-off at this point. Thanks...BTW, it only happens while using the web browser.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Exact same thing that's happened to me 3 times. Got it working. And then kapootz
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
For the guys that have been using Darky's ROM before and now have Version 9.0 going,what are the Big differences/improvements you see from previous versions?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Quick question for those having issues with v9.0.2....Did you all download the ROM from XDA? I read somewhere that the XDA link to the download was unstable and had issues. I downloaded from the alternative link and all is good.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
its not due to user error when the Kernel will not work with the phone. I am certainly not new to this and usually have very little if any issues when it comes to flashing or reviving my phone. the script isnt the problem its the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I agree it not user error in this case of ROM Flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I find it interesting that if you go to the Original Darky's Forum and read about the changes 9.02 has it shows that the SpeedMod Kernel in the ROM was "Q" Test 4. Hardcore went though 7 testing before going Final with "Q" Version of Speedmod. I wonder why a "test" version of the Kernel was used? Now maybe Darky did a final update and used the Final "Q" and just didn't change the Log I don't know but if anyone that has 9.02 going and didn't change the Kernel yourself what Kernel is listed?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Bigred1991:
Is there a video on how to install darkys 8.1? I really like the gingerbread look. Mostly dont know about the kernel flashing. This isn't my first flash on rom, I'm running beta 2.2 right now.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Here link to Several Videos: They talk about another ROM but it same principle

Odd .. I can't find the Darky ROM configurator in the Market or via the AppBrain app.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I would avoid even using that App with Captivate Flash. You can Flash the ROM without it.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Yep, tried installing without it. Aborted while installing System (modem and kernel installed OK). Will come back to this ROM after installation issues are fixed. Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
I'm using the speedmod kernel q final if that helps. Had it on the internal SD. Rebooted after flash then went to cwm and flashed the kernel and modem I like. No fc's so far running smooth. Like it alot.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Did you try it this way?

1. Download the ROM from the link in OP

2. Place on the Root of SD

3. Flash in CWM (this installed I9000 version)

4. Download Captivate Kernal (I used SpeedMod)

5. Put Kernal on SD card

6. Use CWM to install Kernal-- Reboot.

You might Flash and Wipe 8.1 before you do the above steps and be sure any LagFix is disabled. Also might check and see if you have Darky Folder on sdcard and remove it before trying it.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I had lagfix enabled from a previous install. I disabled it and now have installed 9.02. However, I'm getting multiple FC's. android.process.media keeps coming up, so it's impossible to proceed. I rebooted to no avail :(
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
Came from latest Doc Captivate ROM... wiped, installed Captivate fix, installed darky's v9.0.2, and got boot looping... (it would show lock screen, then reboot automatically into bootscreen)

Guess I'll have to try another ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
What is it that this "Captivate Fix" does?

I flashed the ROM from the OP and just added a cappy friendly kernal.

Everything is smooth here.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It changes the Build info from i9000 which what this ROM is based on to i897 which is Captivate. I think the Fix is used so the ROM can tell what phone you have so correct things are installed.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Is it possible that this "fix" is what is causing the trouble here? I did not use it at all, and I am running at 100%. No force closes, no troubles at all.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It could be problem. Since you were coming from another ROM you may have had the i897 Build already listed and that why you did so well.
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Just so that everyone knows, I will give you a brief overview of what I did.

1. Download the ROM from the link in OP

2. Place on the Root of SD

3. Flash in CWM (this installed I9000 version)--- The Phone booted with I9000 screen, and the layout was landscape in apps.

4. Download Captivate Kernal (I used SpeedMod) found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880 (use CWM version)

5. Put Kernal on SD card

6. Use CWM to install Kernal-- Reboot-- The phone then booted with the I897 screen

I never used the Darky app, I never used this "Captivate Fix".
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I came from another ROM too and did not use the fix. However, I can't install properly.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Battery drains too fast

from 100% to 92 in 30 minutes, only gmail and launcher running in background. Like the ROM interface but until the battery issue is fixed, I am off to some other pie.
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
Thanks to a suggest by ficeto on the chat, I installed the JL3 modem and everything seems to work now!

Here's what I did...

1. Boot into recovery and flashed the Captivate fix - reboot

2. Validated in Settings that Build Model stated IGH897 instead of i9000 (was coming from Doc's ROM)

3. Installed Darky's Config App... set my settings and pressed home... boot into recovery

4. Wiped data

5. Flashed ROM

6. Reboot... was getting vibrations and random reboots... reboot into recovery

7. Flash latest SpeedMod kernel for Captivate... installed lagfix and tweaks...

8. Reboot and was still getting vibrations and random reboots... reboot into recover

9. Flashed JL3 modem... reboot... all was working great after this!
[Captivate Android Development] nemesishaven:
Just an FYI - flashing the captivate update messed with my internal sd mount/permissions (and my ability to copy to it via usb). I guess I should have stuck the 9.02 update on the root of sd *before* flashing the captivate fix.

Came from 8.02; followed the instructions in the current post (used the Darkyy app), no problems in update or since. Very smooth; I did however do a wipe when I updated (configured the app to do it).
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
Just for further info, here is a screenshot if it helps.

The Kernal version is:

2.6.32.9

hardcore@speedmod-i897-k12q-500hz #110
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have read over at i9000 forums and alot of guys complaining about battery with 9.02. Some have great battery some not so.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
That's the kernel I switched to. If for nothing else, it solved my Home button acting as a Back button issue on my cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I know that seems weird. Even guys flashing to Stock then going to 9.02 aren't getting it to work but luckily a few are. You would think Stock---->Master Clear and then install ROM and then Change Kernel would work for everyone but it doesn't, I wish I had an answer.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Here's what I did to solve that very same flashing issue. Flash another custom ROM (anyone....doesn't matter), then DO NOT flash to stock or master clear and flash 9.0.2...Everything worked perfectly after that.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
The thread even says "FULL OF BUGS!", it's obviously a faulty ROM --You guys are wasting your time trying to find ways to work-around errors.. There's probably 5 "solutions" here...

You guys are loyal Darky fans, I get it but 'solutions' containing a 10-step process? Come on now, go back to 8.1 or wait for an update.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Anyone interested in a Vending.apk that makes your Market green on the top and BLACK on the bottom. Sorry no screenshot, can't get it to upload using my cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Somehow in all the Flashes...aborts..reflash 8.1 I lost the Circle Battery in Notification area. Does any one know how to get that back. Before if it disappeared there was an App I could start and it came back but I don't have that anymore.

Thanks

Edit: I see a circular_battery_indicator.apk in a Darky ROM I have on the Computer. Can I copy that somewhere into my Phone or Sideload it?

Never mind Sideload did the trick
[Captivate Android Development] acrazzyhobo:
I followed the directions on page 161 and then flashed the JL3 modem and its working. I will test it some more and comeback whether it is being stable.

Also in the darkyy app i chose not to install swype.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
What Modem did you get with 9.02? I see some Posts now the Modem maybe the Problem.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I think most people are having issues bc they're not flashing the captivate fix so the ROM is not detecting that your device isn't an i9000. Make sure to flash it first!
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
I'm gettin brutal battery usage... 15% gone in twenty minutes of use without wifi
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Did you flash at 100%? Also its usually fine if it drops 10% in the first hr bc thats to keep the battery's life extended but probably clear your cache (both dalvik and regular) and wipe battery stats at 100% charge

EDIT: Don't forget its going to take some time for your phone to set into the new rom so take through at least a full cycle before giving any comments on battery
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Don't think that the case at least not for me. I flashed Fixed ,verified it and still no go.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
What rom are you flashing from? Also I just ended up changing the kernel and modem in the rom so maybe thats why I didn't encounter any issues
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I presently have Darky 8.1 running with Speedmod "Q" with Battery Tweaks and No lag fix.It running Great and not sure 9.02 gives me enough advantages to keep trying. I got a feeling I could redo it all and Flash the Modem and I might get it to go because the 1st time I tried to Flash it was 9.00(not 9.02) and I did get it semi going when I reflashed a the Captivate SpeedMod but never Flashed a new Modem. It just I feel I am "rolling the dice" each time I try these "wild" ways to get it going and a "Bricked" phone is just around the Corner....:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Haha fair enough. Well 8.1 is definitely one of my favorites very stable as far as battery life goes so I'm just waiting to see if 9.02 offers better which if it doesn't then back to 8.1 we go! :D
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
I have no problems at all with 9.02. Maybe it was because I flashed 9.02 from Darky's forum and then manually applied Captivate SpeedMod and JL3 (I had FCs and reboots prior to manually flashing the two above)

Sent from my Captivate running Darky 9.02 + SpeedMod K12Q + JL3 Modem
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK I know it early in your testing but what does 9.02 have over 8.1 in your opinion?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
UPDATE

Apparently I dont know if this has been posted yet but Ficeto just told me the problem IS NOT THE ROM it is the modem packaged with the ROM.

Go back to 8.1 Wipe.

Apply the captivate fix--->then 9.0.2---->(IMPORTANT)flash this modem http://static.ficeto.com/android/update.tljl3.modem.zip

That should work apparently that is the fix. Im trying it out right now but this is what Ficeto told me.

Im going to try the no wipe choice on the Darkyy app and Ill keep you posted.

If your not feeling brave then just wait for 9.0.3 coming soon.

UPDATE: Just flashed NO WIPE on top and did all those things working perfectly, no boot loop, I will keep this posted on if it goes into the shut down relapse stuff.

But ya Ficeto: "100% Modems fault"

Go Darkyy
[Captivate Android Development] CHorden:
I have not changed the modem at all since the flash. I am not sure what Modem the ROM installed, or whether it left my Bell JK4 modem from the previous ROM.

Sorry I couldn't be more help with that.
