Question. I'd like to try the Speedmod kernel. I guess I have to disable lagfix before installing it right? Is the Speemod kernel OC/UV enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
yes u should disbale lagfix before installing new kernel....and its not OC/UV...if u want oC/UV....try glitterball's kernel or setirons
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I have read every where and tested myself..

if u r comign from any other rom...flash to stock and then reflash it....and its the safest way too

always back up ur rom tho......i think wiping might affect ur phone....

IMO always play safe..u have to work little extra but u wont brick ur phone..
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
oh right thanks for clarification....

I am using Darky's rom directly with my choice of kernel and modem...thats why i got confused..
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
There are a few people that use this method of getting the original I9000 ROM from Darky and adding their own kernel and modem.

Can you (or anyone that does this) post / explain the exact steps or process that you use?

I'm just curious for future reference.

I like going with what Ytt3r releases, but in the event that one day he decides to stop supporting it....

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
same here i am confused too, how do you do it?

i9000 rom -> xcalibur's reori -> and that's it?
[Captivate Android Development] haojan:
I have just installed 7.8 with voodoo enabled and I am thinking of installing glitterballs reorient kernel for oc/uv. Do I need to disable voodoo before flashing the kernel with CWM then reenable it after the flash?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
Awesome ROM, but I'm having a problem with it. When I receive a call, it force closes it and I get a "SIM has been removed" error. I did a reflash with Wipe Cache/Data enabled and it all worked again. After Titanium Restore, same error occurred. Could it be in my backup?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I had same problem and also with assonance rom too...so i flashed to stock, master cleared everything...and reflashed 7.8...

now i didnt had same problem again..

I tried wipe version and also wipe delvike cashe in recovery....
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
Well I'm hesitant to flash back to stock. When I did that using ODIN, I lost the button combo ability to get back into System Recovery. Is there a ROM i can use with clockwork to flash back to stock?

I just rebooted after a new flash of 7.8 and all calling seems to work fine. I looked through the Titanium batch restore list, and there was a phone restore file. Maybe not restoring anything system related, such as that, will fix the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I am no expert and i tried it twice and it works for me

download darky's original rom...open the zip file using win rar (or any software u have)...u will see update folder...open that u will see modem.bin and zimage....modem.bin is modem and zimage is kernel....

u will find same files in the zip folder u will download for ur kernel or modem....just replace them and u r set...

ofcourse there is lot more to it, thats why we have yttr for official porting.....

I am not responsible for anything happening to ur phone...it worked for me and few others here....so try it at ur own risk..
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I dont think so...

what u mean button combp ability? u mean volume button and power button? i flash to stock all the time...i have soft bricked my phone many times now....

I never lost any hardware capibility...
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Not all phones have that capability by default. Mostly the early adopter phones are fine but the more recent seem to lose access to the bootloader when flashing
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
I've read that ODIN can, on certain batches of phones, disable the volume and power button combo to get into recovery mode. Evidently it did that to mine.

Way back when I first got my phone, had no problems with the button combo. After using ODIN last night, took me over 30 tries and the button combo didn't work. I tried a ton of things afterwards, and one obviously worked. I somehow regained the ability to use the button combo.

I'd really rather not take the risk of that happening again, at least not tonight, because I'd like to make sure I have a few hours set out in case it does.

Edit: I edited a post a few posts up, but I just wanted to reiterate it. I reflashed with a wipe of cache/data and rebooted and the phone is working fine. I have a feeling that Titanium was restoring something Darkys didn't like.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Don't use the one click Odin as that is notorious for causing issues including people losing their 3 button combos. Use this instead. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439&highlight=button
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
Awesome! I must have skimmed right over that, it's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Edit: Just found another issue. When I get a text and don't check it, the soft keys stay lit until I check it. Not a game killer by any means, but certainly a bug.
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
Ha. Thats a feature not a bug. Use BLN Control app to turn it off. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
Thank you and....of course. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
Haha, oh jeez. My bad :o
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Open up an 'adb shell' and run:

mount | grep ext4

You should see /cache, /data or /dbdata there - Maybe /system if you're using speedmod's latest kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Also to check about Voodoo,if you have Root Explorer(or any file manger) I think you can go to sdcard and then voodoo folder and there logs folder and there logs there that tell you I believe.

Navigation TTS and Pico

I'm still running 7.7 and I don't want to ugrade because I am SO happy with it! The quadrant benchmark is 1596! Far above even the Nexus One! :p

My question is about the TTS app or system voice package that at least on 7.7 works automatically on Navigation (although it still prompts to install Pico TTS from market to get voice navigation.) After ignoring the option to install Pico the Navigation voice is perfect! Very understandable and much clearer than the Pico one.

So I have scanned to whole phone and wonder where is this 'stock' voice package installed and can I keep it running as is but somehow choose to use Pico for things like the Voice Dialler which doesn't work without Pico? I can't seem to find where it is resides and/or if it's part of Darky's stock and if so where does it come from?!?

Thanks for the great ROM!

:)
[Captivate Android Development] jambrous:
Ive flashed a couple different roms before finding (the master), and each time, I have gone back to stock (jl6), i have to do the software update then I'm (JL7) able to get the three button combo to work....No software upgrade=wear out 5 pairs of fingers trying to get er done......Software update=works like a champ!
[Captivate Android Development] ed116:
awes0me rommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :) was using pheonix also another good rom but i love this one.. GReat battery life, great theme great speed, just wish voodoo was disabled on its own though prefer to leave it as stock cuz thats the way device was emnt to run :)

keep up the grreat workkkk :)
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Mm..I hope I don't get that problem...I can't test that out until I get back to the states, lolz --; Was that the only problem you had? Or were there other things also wrong? I've only had issues with the maps app, but that fixed itself when I reinstalled.

EDIT: Just tested it with google voice and no issues. But I've also found out that I no longer have unlock codes..
[Captivate Android Development] Fenny:
By Request....

Here is Email.apk from this ROM (Darky 7.8) modified to have no Exchange Security Policy Enforcement.

Also... a CWM Flashable zip.

Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] dgtal7:
um, where can i find BLN control app, i just flashed 7.8 over 7.7 without wiping
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Search for "bln" in the market or on appbrain http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=bln
[Captivate Android Development] dgtal7:
oh, sorry, i thought it was already pre installed with 7.8, i was planning to reflash and wipe, good thing i read your reply
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I highly recommend the Darky's 8.0 once it's ported. I'm running the I9000 ROM along with hardcore's Speedmod K12I kernel, JL3 modem and DXJPA wifi, and my battery is still at 87% after 5 hours unplugged (including an hour of music and 30 minutes of YouTube). 3 days of standby time should be no problem at this rate (unless the random shutdown issue decides to strike again >_>).
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Is anyone else bluetooth not working after flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] Redshryke:
Yeah, mine doesn't work as well.

any way to get out of the puzzle lock boot loop without flashing again? Im in recovery trying to do anything i cant ....
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
cant you just take the zip file from darkys 9000 and put in the captivate kernal/modem ??
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
I think it's much more complicated than that. I wouldn't know since I'm just here using other people's work.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Which recovery? 2e, 3e or Clockworkmod? If you're in CWM recovery and you still have the ROM .zip file on your internal SD card, you can possibly reflash without a wipe. Unless you have a backup from before the puzzle lock that you could restore.

It should be fine. I flashed the 8.0 ROM from the I9000 thread, then flashed hardcore's Speedmod K12I 500Hz kernel, JL3 modem and the DXJPA wifi. Running 7 hours unplugged with light to moderate usage (some music, YouTube and games) and still at 81% battery :D
[Captivate Android Development] mahdibassam:
i live in New Zealand and my captivate is unlocked to work here, so if i install this rom, would the phone be locked again?

[Captivate Android Development] CrunchyToast:
I've been using Tayutama's Captivate ROM for a while. I know it's pretty much dead, so I was wondering if this ROM here has anything that improves upon what Tayutama did? The reason I have yet to change ROMs is due to how well the GPS works on Tayutama's ROM. Does this one work just as well and as fast?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
nice 8 is live, no need to flash flash flash just 1 flash :D
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I've never tried Tayutama's but have tried mutliple custom roms including cognition and perception, and stock roms JF6 and JH7 and I've never had a better working gps as I've had with this rom. It gives me super fast locks to multiple satellites and tracking hasn't been an issue as of yet. I'd recommend it to anyone who was looking for a gps improvement.

If you decide to flash it the first thing you should do is open up sgs tools and go to 'gps fix' and make sure it is set to north.american.pool. If it isnt then change it to that and delete gps data.

OP - Thanks for porting v8.
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
After installing V8 from ROM manager, my phone is vibrating a lot and is waiting for the 1st time boot. Is that normal?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I'm having the same issue. I tried to install v.8 twice from a fresh Odin start and in both cases the phone just hung on the bootscreen. I feel it vibrating, so I believe some system apps are crashing and force closing.
[Captivate Android Development] mahdibassam:
so can anyone tell me if my unlocked phone will lock to at&t again if i install this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
It will not. I am using it. How did you unlock?
[Captivate Android Development] anotherupna:
Same issue here.. I though i did something wrong.. i went back to factory and about to re-install but thought i should check back here to make sure everything is ok.. I guess its not only me...
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
same issue, tried 3 times

gotta love backup/restore :D
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
There must be an issue with the build. I hope the OP is on it.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Possibly the port? I am using V8 without problems, but I used the i9000 rom.... You gotta run some fixes, but didn't have any problems loading it.
[Captivate Android Development] y_argon:
same.. reboot loop brick.. even tried wipe/data factory reset no dice
[Captivate Android Development] q5ypdg9:
I am experiencing the same, persistent after multiple flashes.
[Captivate Android Development] bassic101:
Same here, flashed from clockwork once without flashing to stock, then flashed to stock first with odin and same results. Maybe the mediafire file is corrupt?
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
I love your work. Without it any of the roms is kind of useless for me. Thanks for your apps.
[Captivate Android Development] marefin:
i flashed from stock and having the same with being stuck at the bootscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I think I might stick with 7.7 for now. It's been rock solid for me for the past 5 days.

hmm...looking at the trouble people have been having ill wait until its fixed.

but wow, im so excited to try out darky 8

thanks ytt3r

[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I was about to flash on Darky 8, but it seems so many people are having this non-boot issue I am going to wait until we hear something from ytt3r. I hope it gets resolved quick so I can get Dark 8 on my Cappy!
[Captivate Android Development] staplebox:
Same reboot loop. Didn't see it in the 19000 forum, must be a port thing. I'm sure the OP will fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
installed from i9000 forums, installed xcal's #100 kernel, installed jl3 modem, running smooth :D couldnt wait for fixed port :( damn addiction!
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I was just in the chat room for a bit and it seems that the 8.0 zip file linked in the OP is corrupted. I would highly recommended not flashing it until ytt3r has fixed it tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] mixxy:
did u use odin?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
noope, havent wiped since 7.5

for 8 i went to recovery, flashed darky i9000, rebooted let it do its thing till it was fully up and booted

rebooted back to recovery, flashed kernel, and to be safe i booted then booted to recovery and flashed modem

didnt wanna flash any at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] mixxy:
hmm i didnt know u could flash both the kernal and the modem through the recovery.

how do u find the non-ported darky vs. ytt3r's version?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
everything seems to be running as butter smooth as usual. the real test will be tomorrow throughout work and the day.
[Captivate Android Development] CrunchyToast:
Thanks for your input. Is there any feature that doesn't work or that lacks in quality of how it should work? I've been using the other ROM for about 2 months and love it, but I want something with updatability. Also, could anyone recommend installing the original from the I9000 forum and using xcal's kernel?

Looking forward to V8. I just flashed 7.8 yesterday, been loving it. Battery life is pretty good thus far. I'll wait till its been confirmed that the problems with V8 have been sorted. Glad I didn't just jump in, but I'm excited!
[Captivate Android Development] Postal76:
I read about the problems with v8, but, like an idiot, I flashed it anyway. Where can I find the 7.8 rom?

Edit: Nevermind, found it on MediaFire.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
This is a General question about this ROM. Does anyone know how to add Contacts to a Group? I can go to the Group I want(Friends,Family,etc) I push the Lower left button I get an Option to add but no matter what I try I can't get any Contacts listed to add to Group.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kayakwb:
if you have google voice it is really easy. log in on your desktop/laptop and under contacts just assign who you want where and during you next sync it takes care of it for you.
[Captivate Android Development] gunzblaze007:
i flashed v8 (unsuccessfully), now i dont have a usable ROM on my internal SD. phone won't boot, i can only get into recovery. what are my options now?
[Captivate Android Development] DFieldFL:
If you flashed to v8 and your in a situation where you can't use the oden flash and you have stored v7.8 on your phone. Boot your phone into recovery using the hold volume buttons method and go to install zip and select the v7.8. then reboot. That gets your phone to a useable till you can do the oden flash.
[Captivate Android Development] gunzblaze007:
I only have v7.8 on my external SD, and cant seem to read it while in recovery.

:(
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
you should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do a backup before flashing rom's its cardinal rule #1

that way incase whats happening to you guys all you have to do is go backup/restore and restore your rom.

now u gotta odin flash to stock :P
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
ODIN flash to stock is ur soultion.....there are two methods to do it...read couple of pages above for discussion about it
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
1. yes but use no wipe version...for apps u can always use titanium back up and restore just user apps and data after flashing

2.if u r using yttr port, its active by default

3. thats BLN feature...use BLM app

4. install from market, and its easy to set up...i use speedmod kernel which doesnt have to active by deafult so i havent used it

6. where is 1? lol...yes great rom
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
1 & 2: Apparently, users are having issues with v8, so let's wait a little longer before flashing it. Or if you want to risk it, do a backup, just in case. Not sure about v8, but I was able to move from 7.5 to 7.8 without losing my apps. FWIW, you should install Titanium Backup and make a backup of all your apps. That way, you can do a clean install and later restore all your apps.

3. Lagfix should be activated in 7.7 I think. I have 7.8 and I know for a fact that Voodoo was ON. If you want to make sure, navigate to your internal sd card, there is a folder called Voodoo. If there is a file called "disable-lagfix" then it is disabled, otherwise it should be enabled.

4. Yes. There is an app called BLN Control. If you don't have it, get it from the market. From there, you can disable this.

5. Should be available on the market. Otherwise, let me see if I can get the apk and upload it here (if this is allowed).

6. I agree. I absolutely love it. Overclocked I get up to 1700 in Quadrant. It's awesome. GPS worked best with 7.5 for me though.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
AFAIK, CWM allows you to mount your phone as a USB drive, correct? Maybe he can do this to move a new rom image and flash it from there.

although I agree, Odin is the way to go when things go nuts.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
double post... disregard this.

triple post actually, woah.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Still no comment or new zip for ytt3r eh?

Well the waiting game persists...
[Captivate Android Development] Willis111:
yeah, flashed 8 last night, phone was force closing apps during boot animation (can tell by the type of vibrations) and wouldn't fully boot.

Which modem and kernel are you using?

HOW TO FLASH DARKY's v8

1. BACKUP!!!.. Flash to Stock and Master Clear, if installing wipe version.

2. Go to the original ROM thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091

3. Flash the wipe or no wipe version using CWM. I recommend wipe. and after 1st boot load the kernel using steps below.

4. Choose a cappy kernel.

4.1 For reoriented, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808286 and flash the bln version

4.2 For speedmod, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

5. Go to CWM and flash the kernel and reboot.

6. Choose a modem from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391

I recommend UGJL2. and flash using CWM and reboot.

VOILA! Darky's v8 with everything working for captivate!!!!!

[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
i had problems installing 7.8, and the latest Cognition rom, from RomMgr, but using only the ClockWork update.zip from recovery mode did the trick. i used RomMgr to install the ClockWork zip, then odin for a stock install. after initial boot from odin, i went directly into recovery mode, ran the update.zip twice (not sure why this was recommended). each time i ran the update.zip, it rebooted into recovery, and on the second boot, i installed the 7.8 rom.
