The "problems" that I found with Swype and actually other Apps also is the Fingerprint in the Darky ROM shows it as a I9000 so you get apps for I9000's that may or may not work with our SGH-I897. By accident I found this out when I became a Swype Beta tester and after using my Swype installer I received my first beta keyboard after the installer checked my phone out to see what it needed. The keyboard had a non functional Voice to text button looked like it was greyed out sort of and the keyboard worked for S%^%.

I learned about the fingerprint of a ROM and what it actually does while studying at android development and how Market uses it to list Apps for our specific devices. So I fixed my fingerprint to show that I have a SGH-I897 not an I9000 and low and behold I got different apps offered and my paid for apps said I was using pirated apps the first time I used my new identity lol I assume because they list what device you have when you purchase the apps. A simple re-download of all the paid apps fixed this though. Now the accident part comes into effect as I rebooted after I fixed my fingerprint and thought nothing of it until about two days later I launched Swype and the installer POPPED UP and Prompted me that I was using the wrong version of Swype for my device and for me to uninstall it and relaunch the Swype installer which I did and what do you know...a bad ass Swype keyboard with full working Voice to text etc. even different special keys in different parts of the board gets delivered to me and this was by accident like I said had I not fixed my fingerprint who knows I would be saying the Swype boards are all trash.

To verify that this was actually the case I changed my finger print again to read I9000 this time rebooted played around for a while rebooted again and then launch Swype and sure as **** greeted with my installer telling me I have the wrong board for my device. I changed it back and have never had a problem since. I keep copies of my completely edited SGH-I897 build.prop file and just add it to the ROM if I ever change to a new one to eliminate any issues. This has yet to fail me since I started doing it.

It would probably be a good idea for Team Darky to also mod the file for the Cappy port releases in the first place. It could also be used as a tool to validate exactly what ROM someone is using when they have issues and swear they are on one ROM when they are actually on another. Have them copy the file and pm it one of you for reference. How many times have we seen and heard people swear they are on the port for days only to find out when they weren't. Which does nothing but cause aggravation for those trying to help someone with a problem that could be fixed simply by changing the ROM.

Just my 2 cents ;)

Anyway uninstall Swype and then go into your root sd with root explorer and search for "Swype" delete the file lib.Swype.core. reboot and install the correct Swype for your device.

Absolutely! I was running mine pretty good @1280/500 and I only dropped like 23% in like 14 hours. However you may in fact need to recalibrate the battery which I suggest you do first.

Could you possible do me a favor, well everyone a favor if what I'm going to suggest corrects this for you. I have a method for conditioning that works but it's a multi-step and after some radical studying tonight I would like to try another method before having you do the long version multi step one if you would please help us out with giving it a shot you'd be helping me out tremendously since I do not have a device in the condition of yours which I need. So this is actually perfect timing although slightly unfortunate for you. If what I believe I learned tonight can be corrected in the following manner they'll be a lot of very happy people.

Following this post I'm going to be posting some information which will help us all out with battery issues.

OK now anotherupna try this please, it'll be probably 24 hours hopefully less before we hear back from you but good luck.

Let's cross our fingers and then

Reboot into recovery and wipe your battery stats

Next charge your phone up to 100%

Disconnect charger, reboot into recovery and wipe the battery stats again.

Now run your phone until the battery goes dead and shuts the phone off automatically, please. do not attempt to charge during this time lol

Plug your phone into your wall charger and charge it up to 100%

When fully charged disconnect and see how it responds

Now I'm hoping you will be fine after this.

It nice the hear about the Battery Life with SuckerPunch's 1280/500. I am on the 1120/100 and doing Great with battery but may give the 1280/500 a whirl. Also are you running RFS or ext4 File system?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
sorry I fubarred this post.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Everything EXT4 system converted as well AND the Optional items enabled in addition to the recommended tweaks.

The sauce is so so sweet!
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I wonder if you can just give me your battery stats file and then call it a day :) jk
[Captivate Android Development] anotherupna:
I did exactly that except I didn't read this up till now. It's been 3 hours my battey is at 95%.

I have wifi on all the time

mobile data on. Didn't use the phone at all other than to check the battey state as well as writing this post now. I am going do one more calibration and report back in few days. From the past experiences I think I will have better battery life this time.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
You know Im getting decent battery life but mine is more realistic. I'm @ 73% and been unplugged since 8am.

sent from my GT-I9000 Captivate running Darky9.1 Extreme Edition
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
OK I'm at 7 hours 12 mins unplugged battery is at 88%! So I think you are fine.

Sorry about not posting above I fell asleep. Getting too old I guess and pushing the pedal to the metal :p I'm going to do in a minute.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
My battery life today has been alright. Nothing spectacular. I did perform a battery stats wipe, and then also a battery calibration afterwards this morning, which I hoped to improve my battery life but I'm not sure it has much affect.

I've played probably 20 minutes of games, and sent maybe 10 text, received probably 15. Used the internet for possibly 4 minutes. Unplugged at 7:45, it's not 4:13 and my battery is sitting at 42%.

I'm using:

JK4 Modem

Voltage app (50,50,75,75,100,125)

Suckerpunch #26 1.2 ghz, 500 hz

Darky's 9.0.2

When I check battery use, it list Display as 96% and Cell standy as 2%.

Any ideas to better improve battery life? I'm slightly concerned about running TOO many programs to monitor battery life.

Programs I use/run are:

Advanced Task Killer

Advanced Task Manager

Battery indicator (Recently uninstalled, just put battery indicator in left corner also)

Spare parts (Adjusted some of the settings through it)

And Voltage Control.

I have brightness set to auto-adjust but feel like it's still very bright, Wondering if there is a way to make it dimmer/improve battery.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
First off I don't use anything but what my system uses to monitor my phone although I have Ultimate Juice I paid for I haven't installed it yet. I agree with you too many apps watching is simply too many apps running. If you would like to try this at your own risk I'll help you and walk you through getting you on to v9.1 which is where you should see big improvements? I'm sure you know this already but don't try and reach for the stars that some people including myself may post here as their results. Each situation is different and may be impossible for you to get the same results with your set-up. My goal is to try to be "realistic" and I am by all means no expert but I am cramming my melon recently with far more info than I want to at my age but have learned a ton since hanging out here and some of what I pass on has helped others and that's what it's all about to me anyway, provided those seeking help are willing to do some footwork on their own first, like UTFSE. I would love for the easy way out every time, I would love to have a wireless connection that Darky, existz, supercurio, GB or any of the masters here could just say turn on your blah blah and they could fix my S%^% remotely, It's doesn't work that way unfortunately, not for me anyway lmao

I'm using:

TLJL3 Modem

Voltage app (50,50,75,75,100,150) CFQ 1280 Mhz.

SucKerPunch #27 1280/500

Darky's 9.1

Brightness set around 65% I never use Auto that crap has always been too dark for me even when stock.

Extra Crap I actually enabled or installed for "alleged" battery or performance enhancement.

As of this exact minute posting Active applications on my phone are as follows:

ADWLauncher EX RAM: 11.24MB, CPU: 0.00%

ShootMe RAM: 4.33 MB, CPU: .050%

Compared to what you have installed and are using:

Advanced Task Killer Not even installed

Advanced Task Manager Not even installed

Battery indicator (Recently uninstalled, just put battery indicator in left corner also) Not even installed

Spare parts (Adjusted some of the settings through it) Not even installed

Voltage Control. 50,50,75,75,100,150 CFQ 1280 Mhz

Battery @ 88%

Unplugged 8hr 33m 47s Display 92%, Cell standby 6%, Phone idle 3%

Once I finally post some info regarding our batteries I believe that most people will breathe easier regarding our battery activity. Don't get me wrong there are still those situations that are foobard but I don't see why they can not be fixed.

A couple of factors that I haven't ever seen mentioned regarding batteries is "How old is your battery and how many times have you flashed?" These two factors play big parts in the SoH and SoC of our batteries and how they act.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
The latest version of Darky's I9000 rom is XWJS3-based; is there a change-log around that lists the differences between that and the 2.2.1 JPY builds that previous versions of Darky's rom are adapted from?
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
What's your thoughts on 9.1? I'm not jumping the gun so quickly as I did with 9.02 so feedback would be great. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Battery Information

I moved the post to General Category For Captivate

But here's the calibration method.

Yeah but how the f^$% do I calibrate my battery?

Charge phone up and then delete your battery stats.

Unplug your phone from your wall charger and let your battery drain all the way down until phone shuts off.

While still off charge phone to 100% and then boot up as normal.

I can only laugh when I think that the reason the method of calibration I was using was actually working is due to the fact that the "wipe batt stats, drain battery completely and charge to 100%" is basically the last step and all that is essentially needed. :p

i need some help i new to darkys rom and followed the steps in the op and when 9.0.2 loads up it seams like it is force closing and then reboots. what am i doing wrong
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
There was a problem with 9.0.2. So your going to have do it over again follow this instruction.

Flash back to 8.0, or 8.1 and Wipe in CWM.

Once it boots Download the Darkyy App from the Market and put you configuratons you want. YOU NO LONGER NEED TO WIPE IT WAS THE MODEM THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, You will see further down

Then apply the captivate fix thru CWM: http://xdaforums.com/atta...9&d=1295918522

Boot up and check in your settings if it says your build is an i897 then you are good to go.

**This is optional although Ficeto recommends it but some people do it and some people dont its completely optional-->Turn on Lagfix which converts your data to EXT4.**

Go into CWM and flash 9.1: http://www.multiupload.com/XU66I2R95I

Then http while STILL IN CWM flash THIS MODEM--->http://static.ficeto.com/android/update.tljl3.modem.zip

After that flashed boot up and 9.1 will be working perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] byrdtulsa:
just a questions when i use the captivate fix i cant use samsung apps but when it says i9000 it working any reason for this... and if that is the case is there a i9000 fix

[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Mm...I might screw around with trying to flash 9.1 this weekend. seems like there is enough consensus on how to do it. I guess I'll have to wipe...again.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Yeah its super simple! Just odin to stock - 8.1 - 9.1. And you're done! The new JS3 base is quite fast but that just may be the combo with speedmod. Also it seems as if data speeds have improved for me with this one on KNP1 even when using mobile ap. Not sure if anyone else had that happen
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
What does 8.1 have that 9.1 needs? Should just be able to go from Odin to stock and then to 9.1 right?
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Also still waiting on a confirmation on differences between 2.2.1 JPY and JS3 and the *only* thing I've been able to find so far is additional language support for Finland.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Speed seems to me to be the main difference. With every new release samsung optimizes the system and this seems to be fluidly fast. Feels like the phone should have been out of the box

EDIT: To answer your other questions it seems 8.1 provides a base of stability for the installation of the newer releases. But in truth I'm not sure if thats the case anymore with the switch from JPY to JS3, but really it only takes an extra 1 minute to install from 8.1 instead of stock so I would just do it anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
What if I'm on 8.1 already. I was reading that you have to wipe data in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] SSMI:
I love this ROM in conjunction with suckerpunch and jl3. Only issues I have had are with the wifi and gps. The wifi doesn't seem as reliable as it used to be unless I put in on never sleep. I can use it on never sleep because of the awesome battery life so thats not a big problem.

I was wondering how the gps was acting for those that are using it successfully. Mine doesn't really want to lock. Has anyone had good experience with this? Did you have to do something to get it? I have tried faster fix but it didn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Did you try deleting your GPS data?
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I just installed 9.1 with a wipe and I'm having some serious connection issues. Data is just crawling. Never seen it this slow before. I am right next to a cell tower (less then 100 yard). I've tried the jl2 and jl3 modem and no luck. I knew I should have just stayed on 8.1.

I think I'm just going to give up on any feature releases. They just don't seem to work well for the Captivate or at least with my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
I had gps issues with jl2 and jl3. jk4 had slightly more battery drain but gps was near perfect on my device.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
You can use the darky app to wipe data so all should be fine on that.

Also to anyone having issues just try it as odin 1click - 8.1 - captivate fix - 9.1 (during this time flash your kernel and modem I recommend speedmod and the KNP1 modem bc I've had no issues with this combo.)

Good Luck!
[Captivate Android Development] SSMI:
I did delete my gps data. Doesn't it take a number of times to get it fast again?

running darky v9.1 on TLJL3 modem and suckerpunch #32

calibrating my battery right now

cause its sucking it down like.......bah I cant' think of what to describe it to :o
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
My review of 9.1

I got 9.1 with wipe to successfully install. I flashed the latest GB kernel before the first boot and everything work fine.

Battery life is so far the same as 8.1. My linpack 17.7 - 17.8 and my Quad are 1779-1785.

GPS locks in the normaly 5-15 seconds. Tracking is working just fine with CoPilot. I have not tried it with Google Maps.

Personally the only differences I see with 9.1 vs 8.1 is the theme has changed a little.

I'm not sure if flashing to 9.1 is really worth it as I don't really see any difference with it. I know Darky and the team put a lot of work in this so do understand I'm not bashing them or anything. It you need a rock solid rom I think 8.1 is still the way to go.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I kinda agree on this

8.1's installation has been quite easy and relativlely bug free for me

but once I moved to 9.02/9.1

I softbricked my phone like 2x :p

but i'm cool now :)
[Captivate Android Development] birdbird83:
using the same setup ...calibrated and battery slightly better off ...

any1 using speedmod? is the battery life better?
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
If you set your cpu to be oced, then definitely.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I think you're referring to Suckerpunch bc speedmod has no OC capabilities. But its super fast anyways so I can understand the mistake :D.

Also for the difference bt 8.1 and 9.1 I would consider using it with speedmod and KNP1. Right now I'm calibrating the battery but I'm already at a life of 30hrs with 47% left. Definitely the best battery life and system smoothness I've ever gotten on a Darky Rom!
[Captivate Android Development] theprovidence:
hey yall this is my first time using darky but i flashed back to stock with odin installed 8.1 and applied captivate and i get stuck on the i-9000 screen it never boots the os. what am i doing wrong/
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Using darkys 9.02 with sucker punch. Amazing battery life if I don't touch it. Had it unplugged yesterday from 8 am until 4 pm and was at 87% batterry. Seems like if I use it at all it kills the battery because of the display. That's my only complaint.
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
There was a wifi bug on 9.02 that is now fixed on 9.2 that was just released. The ROM is also now based on XWJS3 which was just released claims much faster speed and better battery life. So try out 9.2
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I dont use the wifi though. I'm fine with 9.02. Just seems like the display or games kill the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
Not fixed in 9.2 either, or well not for me at least

For the guys that were on 9.1 and went to 9.2 are you using the New Darky App or are you Manually going to Recovery and Flashing 9.2 there? Also any opinions yet on best Modem for the Captivate? I presently using JL3 on 9.1.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
I used the app to customize what I wanted but the old app still in the market has no references to the captivate so i still flashed the captivate fix before flashing 9.2 in cwm.

Everything flashes fine but with no captivate support in the old app it flashes a i9000 kernel, which I fixed by flashing the i897 version of speedmod afterwards

The modem performance will be subjective to your region, only way to find out the best is try them all

I moved from 9.1 to 9.2 straight. All app and settings remained untouched... for the modem I love jl2.. I never have had good battery life with any rom or modem, but with jl2 I find better sound and amazing GPS fix...
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
What you do is just create a "no-modem" "no-kernel" folder inside the Darkyy ROM folder. CASE SENSITIVE.

Besides that the app will not do anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thanks so much. Do people like this on the captivate with 9.1 or 9.2?
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
I've been running this on 9.1 for the last week and its been great all around. I just flashed 9.2 and went back to this modem again!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Flashed to 9.2 No Wipe and everything went smooth. I then went to Recovery and Flashed SuckerPunch #36, Enabled LagFix then Rebooted. Set OC/UV with Voltage App, Rebooted and Doing Battery Calibration now. So Far So Good.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisz5z:
I've been reading lots of good things about it. For me its the best overall with data/call quality/gps. In terms of call quality jl2 has been the best for me while jl3 was the worst
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Going to test it out now, will report back
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I've switched between JK4 and JL3 I think and haven't noticed a difference between them. They both seem to work fine and battery life doesn't seem to change. I've used my phone for maybe 5-6 minutes worth of voice calling today, since 8 am (it's now 6 pm), and I'm at 81% battery. It does really well on standby, but it seems like any time I use the phone, battery life suffers.

Yesterday I played maybe 5 minutes of games, and I sent maybe 60 text, recieved probably 30, (don't judge, I sent 5-6 mass text to around 6-7 people), had maybe 10 minutes of voice calls, and my phone was dead by 8:30. Really disappointed me.
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
Most likely not the modems fault. What version of Darky's are you running? What kernel are you running? I'm getting phenomenal battery life on 9.2
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Running Suckerpunch 26 on Darky's 9.02. If I use the display for like 30-40 minutes it kills the battery life. If I barely use the phone I can finish the day with like 40-50%.

calibrate your battery and you'll see amazing results

i can run on wifi+music+uv'ed 1ghz for up to 14hours straight without a charge

if I wasn't using wifi i imagine my battery could go up for another 4-6hours
