I know, and I'm thankful for that (thanks for your hard work!). But everytime I flash, I'm afraid something will get borked and I will have to flash to wipe/stock and redo.

Also, I have a question about the battery calib. I followed the following directions mentioned earlier.

Charge your battery to 100%

Flash the rom of your choice

Add everything you intend to add, kernal,modem whatever.

Boot into recovery or go to sgs tools and wipe your battery stats file

Put your phone on wall charger and charge to 100% and turn off phone

continue charging with power off until the phone notifys to disconnect charger, unplug charger and plug it back in immediately.

Battery should continue to charge again, and notify to remove charger, repeat the unplug plug in process, do this about 4 times

reboot your phone and wipe the battery stats again and reboot the device once again.

Let your battery run down all the way until it actually shuts itself off

Re charge your battery to 100% again wipe battery stats and reboot you should be golden now.

For the last step, must the phone be off? Or can you start up the phone again? I started it up and it said I had 25% left. I turned it off, turned it back on and it went up to 40%. I decided to unplug and let it drain again, and now its charging while off (and the battery icon seems to be near empty at start).

I guess its safer to let this charge fully before starting up again? Or will starting up the phone, charging to 100%, wiping the battery stats, rebooting be okay>
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Seeing as it has to be released for ytt3r to get his hands on it I think it would be safe to hold out on the questioning until it is actually released. Even then I think it would be better of you to hold tight and wait. The port is usually within a day or 2 of Darky's release so no need to go hassling ytt3r about when it will be out.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Im not hassling him at all I was just wondering if any body heard word of it I am perfectly content with 8.1 and I dont honestly care when the update comes out I was just wondering if anybody knew anything.

Because there were rumors on the i9000 thread that it would be out tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Well expect 8.2 out a day or so after it has been officially released depending on whether or not ytt3r needs to improve anything or not. I have seen him release it very quickly in some cases and in a couple days in other cases. I for one am looking forward to it because my battery life is not nearly as good as 8.0 and Darky said 8.2 comes with some battery improvements. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya my battery life isnt great I am really looking forward to improvements its better than stock (EVERYTHING is better than stock) but I was hoping for more ive tried calibrations still nothing is working.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I got like 3 freakin' days of juice with 7.8 and things have just gone downhill from there. I don't know what is going on, but the new speedmod kernel definitely eats up more battery than the old xcal kernel. After a full day of use I am sitting at 52 percent though, so I guess I cannot complain. :)

8.2 sounds like it is going to be a big improvement, so lets just wait and be excited :)
[Captivate Android Development] pelmpew:
Back button

Since my update to 8.1 the behavior of the BACK button is strange. It goes to the home screen and not one screen back.

Anyone who knows how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Did you flash with the ROM file given in THIS thread? If you flashed the i9000 version, you will have issues until you flash a reoriented kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] bluebullet2121:
I went back to 7.8 after flashing over to 8.0. Not that 8.0 is BAD in any way, it just seems that 7.8 is much faster. Linpack and Quadrant both give higher scores and it just seems more responsive. I ran Cognition for the longest time, but after using Darky there's no going back.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
There are so many things floating around about Battery Life. I found this:

1) Turn OFF phone

2) Charge till it says it is FULL

3) Start in RECOVERY (volume UP+Home+Power), here WIPE battery stats (it is in the "advanced" menu)

4) RESTART android (yes, it might already be on 98% or so)

5) USE phone heavily. Don't worry if it drops too fast. Use it till the Android system turns OFF automatically (it happens when your battery is below 1% - for me the phone was on 1% for about 40 mins. This is where it heavily miscalculated

6) PLUG IN your charger, TURN ON android and wait till it is FULLY charged again. (It is better if you don't use the phone at this charging up)

[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
I just posted a reply in the i9000 forum for this issue too. I think something's up with the 2.2.1 build of froyo that stops charging before previous versions did. So any combination of bump-charging, heavy usage, power-cycling the phone, and deleting the batterystats.bin might be futile for some (I'm in this camp, as I've tried all of that and still get 98-99% when unlugging from a "full charge").
[Captivate Android Development] digitlman:
thanks for all the help everyone, my bluetooth voice dialing now works (like it did on my 5 year old razor phone...) thats the biggest reason to flash my rom for me.

keeplightson worked perfectly, thanks for that one.

someone earlier said their market app didnt work. after i restored my titanium backup my market did not work either, also musicplayer didn't, they both said not installed and had the defualt android icon. so i went into the apps page and clicked on them and they worked fine. so i just deleting those non working shortcuts from my homepage and then made them again and they worked fine.

what is the recommendation for the best method to access my internal storage via wifi instead of usb? i want to copy to and from my internal and external sd cards without connecting the cable.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] s60convert:
Same method worked for my FC's with bluetooth and the app Myfiles. No more errors.
[Captivate Android Development] ootz0rz:
Has anyone had an issue with the rom where the accelerometer/gryoscope stuff suddenly stops working? This happened to me just this morning, and the screen no longer automatically turns landscape <-> portrait. Screeble also no longer works. I can't remember doing anything that may have affected this but I really doubt I did, as it was working fine yesterday, until I tried to view a website in landscape today.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
For the last step, so you just turn on the phone and let the screen stay off (i.e. locked)?
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
You can use your phone and do whatever you want.. Need not have screen off.

basically, for a better battery life, charge only when almost empty, to full and then disconnect charger and use phone till the battery is almost empty again..

Do this after the battery recalibration is done!
[Captivate Android Development] squidmaster:
Can't use a single application that requires my camera. I've done plenty of clean wipes and reinstalls with both stock and modded camera.apk. everything crashes.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Try using the stock email.apk Seems to affect the camera in some way!
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
Im not sure whether I am dumb or noob but:

When I plug in non-mic earphones *ie regular earbuds* the sound still goes through my phone when on a call\

The sound from my mic is also very quiet when I DO use the earbuds with the mic on a call.

Is there a setting that needs to be changed to accommodate?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Anyone noticed how terrible the browsing is compared with 7.8 (last time I can remember it was silky smooth). What is up with that?
[Captivate Android Development] sweepstakes:
Great port. I flashed my phone yesterday and am very happy without.

However, my only gripe is the browsing. No where near as good as the stock eclair browser... Mainly, the text doesnt auto adjust when you zoom in (among other things).

All things said, still very smooth.

Thanks.

It might be the new modem... I switch back to jl3 because it works better for GPS

hey man samething happend to me when i flashed 8.1.....i just re downloaded the 8.1 zip and re installed it and it was fixed....just try that
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
IMO this is the best ROM for the captivate. I've tried almost all of them. Im running Cog 3 right now and im going back to darkys as my daily driver.
[Captivate Android Development] bean72:
Thanks dude, I am running Cog 3 as well and wanted to know if Darky was any better, even though I love the cog roms ill give this rom a shot.

I switched from a 3GS a few months back and Android has never let me down, and its backed by the best community ever, both devs and users. :D

Thanks guys
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I just hope the browser if fixed in 8.2 because the browsing sucks hard right now.

T mobile vibrant flashed with i9000 2.2.1

HI. i am facing a weird problem. After having flashed my tmobile Vibrant with 2.2.1 rom for i9000 ( tried bot stock and coocked) i realized that

1- up and down controls are inverted

2- only if i insert jack i get sound from phone ( not from earphone!!!)

Anybody knows a fix???

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Wrong kernel, wrong phone, wrong forum, wrong thread. Flash a compatible kernel from the Vibrant Android Development forum to resolve your issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkjamzi:
Correct answer :D
[Captivate Android Development] chanhny:
Waitting... version 8.2. Plz! Soon.

**Update**

v8.2----->is now v9.0.

This will be Darkys last ROM for a long time as he says he needs to take a break.

9.0 is currently in intensive beta testing and should come out soon. and is supposed to be his best yet fixing any issues any one is having with 8.1 (although Im having none its more for the i9000 forum that flashed the "Wipe" ROM)

I also heard on the i9000 forum that it will come with a Voodoo Kernel or a Speedmod and its our choice.

Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Never mind my Post same as Dlev7s
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The last Post I read stated that Voodoo would be enabled on 9.0. But still testing so that might change.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Thanks for the info. BTW, is voodoo better or speedmod better? Both are fast, I must say and stable as well. Regardless, looking forward to ytt3r's port!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have tried them both and they seem the same to me. I can get slightly higher Quadrant scores with Voodoo but I don't think that means a thing. Honestly I am not really sure anymore if I can a difference with any Lagfix going vs not.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I like them both.

v9.0 will have VOODOO LAG FIX ENABLED from the get go and is supposed to be amazing.

It is currently being tested if you can flash the Speedmod over this succesfuly. (**They are testing everything to make this the best ROM yet) <----All signs point this is going to be Darky's finest.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
It will be nice to be on a Rom that is stable and not have to upgrade for a while. I think I will stick to darky 9 for a month or two and then check out Andromeda after it has matured a bit. Excited for 9 and might do a full wipe if it is to be his last for a while. It is cool flashing new Rome all the time, but I am getting sick of it and just want a freaking phone for a while.

If any of you have Facebook account you can join Darky and there you can see some Pictures of what 9.0 will have.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I just experienced how bad the reception of this modem is. Anyone know what the stock Rogers modem is or the best modem to use along the Rogers network? I don't have reception in a lot of places in my university that I had before ytt3r changed out the modem.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I would check some Roger's Android Forums also if you haven't.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I have a facebook what do we search
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I can't remember exactly. Go to i9000 forum or Darky's website and there a "Facebook" link. You have to ask permission to join and it may take a while until Joel "approves" you.

Make home button Vibrate

Hey I liked the ROM the only thing keeping me from using this Rom is the Hactick feedback button for home if you can make that i would be the happiest person in the world
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Just to let people know I looked into new modems and hardcore's kernal has to use an i9000 modem which does not let you use the rogers modem. I flashed TJL3 and have better GPS, data and reception now. I will report back later if my battery life is better.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyfung820:
Hi, I flashed the fixed Darky v8.1 on my i897 today but it seems to be something wrong about auto-rotate function. The auto-rotate is just not functioning and been keeping in landscape mode when using web browser, setting menu...etc. I also flashed the kernel of 'I9000 reoriented v2.3.0 12.23.2010' but it still wont work. Am I missing something? Please advice, Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thats your problem you flashed an i9000 kernel. go to the Captivate development page and get the Captivate Speedmod Kernel and flash that to your phone and that will fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] digitlman:
I noticed that if you go into contacts and view a contact the only buttons there are "message" and "video call"

I think you should replace the video call with regular call seems how we cant make a video call. you have to click on their icon to get the call popup icon from there.

And yes i know you can slide left or right on the contacts page to msg or call but sometimes i end up on the detailed contact page anyways like verifying a number or something and want to call from there.

thanks and keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhinodad:
If you tap the phone number in the contact you will make the call.

Anyone have issues with not being able to send text messages? I always get a "Failed" message when I try to send it. I am able to recieve and make calls with no issues so far. I did brick my phone this morning trying to flash a new speedmod kernal, so I had to do a stock flash and reflash with darky 8.1.

EDIT: I also am able to receive text messages completely fine. Just not send them. Is it the network?

EDIT2: NEVERMIND. I turned on airplane mode and turned it off and it started working. Weird. Even a restart didn't fix it before.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It weird about the Airplane Mode fix. My wife has an iPhone and after some update she lost WiFi function and to get back working I have to do the same thing with Airplane Mode on her phone. I turned it ON then back Off and her Wifi started back up.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Unfortunately you can't just flash a kernel from the Captivate on to an I9000 ROM due to incompatibilities. You'll have to flash a kernel that was reoriented from the I9000. This ROM does not include the Voodoo lagfix, it includes the ULF. Flash Speedmod, and you'll be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Here is some info about Darky 9.0:

Yes try doing a battery stat sync, sometimes this happens with custom ROMs. I know this helped me with the exact same problem:

Charge your battery to 100%

Flash the rom of your choice (Steps 2 and 3 can be skipped if you don't want to bother with re-flashing a ROM)

Add everything you intend to add, kernal,modem whatever.

Boot into recovery or go to sgs tools and wipe your battery stats file

Put your phone on wall charger and charge to 100% and turn off phone

Continue charging with power off until the phone notifys to disconnect charger, unplug charger and plug it back in immediately.

Battery should continue to charge again, and notify to remove charger, repeat the unplug plug in process, do this about 4 times

Reboot your phone and wipe the battery stats again and reboot the device once again.

Let your battery run down all the way until it actually shuts itself off

Re charge your battery to 100% again

Wipe battery stats and reboot you should be golden now.
