I tried all the different settings: Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage, Ask on Connection (tried all the different selections when it asks too) and no luck. Bummer. Any other ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I just flashed the new one "SpeedMod K12M with HZ=500 CWM" so I'll let you know if I had to change anything again.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks again for all the helpful info. Concerning the GPS I did notice it not locking as quickly as before I Flashed new "M" Speedmod and new Modem. Like you said it no big deal to redo GPS stuff which and did and all is fine now. The main reason for this question was just General info on my part if Kernel and or Modem changes did effect GPS in someway and anytime you did this it you should redo GPS.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I understand completely and there's nothing wrong with being cautious. I just had a brain fart and downloaded and flashed the i9000 version of the kernal and it was faster than heck it seems lol but I just did the i897 so I'll let you know if I notice anything different. But the i9000 seemed much more zippier than I thought. Who knows I wrecked and it all seems to work for me now. :D
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
OK I flashed the M for the i897 without any of the fixes and it seems everything's working as normal if not better. GPS locked and loaded fast, WiFi locked and loaded almost instantly. Seems nothing else needed bbiaf.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
No one really answered when an upgrade comes out is it always just the safest way to go wipe data and cache before and then flash through CWM?

And if we dont wipe and something goes wrong do we just wipe and try again or just restore our old Nandroid Backup?

Please answer I dont want to F up anything upgrading this ROM as I LOVE IT and dont want to ever change

Please Help
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Yes

Wipe and try again

Hope that helps you out, and thanks for the feedback :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Anytime man this ROM is incredible

Just to make sure the ROM that is on the OP is already a no-wipe so when an update comes out IM just going to try not to wipe and if something goes wrong just go to Recovery--->Wipe Data and Cache--->Reflash.

And if that for some reason doesnt work coudlnt I just restore a Nandroid Backup of v8 or whatever version I have?

And thanks a million for the awesome ROM plan to donate soon its amazing its everything ive ever wanted. But just a quick note do you have any battery saving tips.

ive done all that to the Wifi and everything and I actually dont get bad battery life I just am wondering how people are getting these 38 hours worth?

Haha thanks anyways
[Captivate Android Development] mloc33:
I have searched endlessly for something about sgs battery optimization.

The best way to gain better battery life, the steps where something like charge fully, let it drain then turn off and charge or something, I cant find the exact thread,but its ment to extend battery life on SGS...but I cant find it......HELP!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thanks for answering all my problems and concerns about the ROM I just have one more question about upgrading.

I have not changed anything from the time I installed Darkys v8 from stock firmware so Im running all the same kernels and the voodoo lag fix.

So when upgrades do come out do I have to disable voodoo first or since all the Darkys upgrades come with the Voodoo can I just leave it how it was.

Cause I was reading on the i9000 forum that you may have to disable voodoo I am still really unsure about that.

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Seems like over time the phone reset the stats on its own.

But there is setup instruction found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786532&highlight=reset+battery+stats

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hello does anybody know whether or not you disable the voodoo lag fix when upgrading with newer versions of Darkys ROMs.

I understand that these Captivate versions of Darkys come with voodoo already on?

I am not going to change kernels to anything such as SpeedMod.

So do I still need to disable voodoo before I install an update or can I just leave it enabled cause the upgrade will already come with Voodoo pre enabled?

Please help

E:Failure at line 95:

Installation aborted.

Coming from darkys raw steel 2.2.

First boot into clockwork. Full wipe. And then I tried to flash and got the error above. Any takers?

Go stock 2.2 and then try again or just try another download of 8.0.1

Edit: lagfix disabled.

Edit: Tried to reboot after having this issue and now the screen is black and the phone is vibrating. Interesting. After a hard reset the samsung animation comes up but the screen goes black and the phone occasionly vibrates.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey do you know if Im using a Voodoo Lag fix and when I flash upgrades with this ROM do I have to disable Voodoo before I flash the update or can I just leave Voodoo Enabled because all the Darky Captivate ROMS come with Voodoo enabled.

Any help from anyone would be GREATLY appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] alvin awesome:
Always disable to be on the safe side.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright thanks so much and all you do to disable voodoo is:

Goto Voodoo Folder (open)

Make a new folder named "disable voodoo"

Then reboot the phone?

And after that just proceed through the update through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] alvin awesome:
Dunno dont ask me, I just bricked my phone :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Well awesome.

Can anyone WHO HAS UPDATED WITH DARKY WITH A SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE

PLEASE take me through the process of upgrading versions of the ROM. Most importantly do we or don't we disable Voodoo before
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
disable-lagfix is the folder name, but since the kernel that I use works with voodoo, you don't have to worry about enabling and disabling.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
market apps not installing after download...

eventually the apps install, after i re-download them a few times. i've seen this intermittently since flashing v7.8. i suspected app or config settings, but nothing seems to work. anyone else familiar with this?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I see where Darky has 8.1 out now and it has Speedmod Version "M" as the Kernel........:D
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya and we DO NOT have to disable lag fix even when this comes out for the captivate right?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I just posted this question on the i9000 Darky's Forum haven't heard back. I read that you don't and since I am already using the SpeedMod Kernel with its' own Lagfix enabled I presume I won't have to disable but I may still just to be on Safe Side.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
aslong as the kernel is voodoo5 you dont have to disable lagfix, you CAN if you want and are ultra super mega safe about things but its nothing a backup cant fix *WHICH YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE*

since 7.5 ive never wiped or disabled a lagfix, ive flashed speedmod and firebird kernels

its all user choice, if you feel safer disabling then go for it, its only a little bit more time out of your day

but if your on a voodoo5 kernel and ur going to another kernel that is voodoo5 then really dont worry about it just create a backup from recovery then flash.
[Captivate Android Development] fuzedbyhtc:
Sorry if this quotes your post but email app force close every time it keeps.popping up also sorry if this is in this thread but i couldnt find it. Anyone else having force close continiously?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the info. So SpeedMod Kernel's is Voodoo 5? I had never really read deep enough to find that out.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I know ytt3r will have the Captivate version of 8.1 out soon but haven't I seen a few guys here mention that they get the i9000 version and "doctor it" themselves for their Captivate? Is this hard to do?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyyy:
Is this rom the same as the new rom posted just an hour or so ago called Darkys v8.1 ? I am so confused, lol. I want the new rom but it wouldn't work the home key was a back button, the screen wouldn't auto rotate right (would stay one way or the other) and untelling what other issues. Any way that I could install a different baseband onto the new rom and make it run correctly with the Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
NO..that is Original Darky for i9000 phones. It will be Ported for Captivate soon but you can get that ROM and make the adjustments needed yourself for Captivate and use. I have never done that but some guys do.
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyyy:
Do you know how to do that or where I can get the info to do it myself because I love the overall look and everything about the new rom just a tiny bit more than the rom I am running now.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Nope. Check my post 1172 just up from this I sort of asked the same question.........:D. I too am interested in trying to do it myself. I know you Open the zip ROM with WinRAR(or whatever program you use) and add/alter stuff there but I don't know what exactly.

"If it ain't Broke keep fixing it until it is"....;)
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
download the rom from Darky

download kernel of your choice * i recommend speedmod or firebird *

download a captivate modem * i use JL3 *

put them all on your sdcard *internal one*

make a backup with titanium for apps

reboot to recovery and make a backup there

flash the rom then reboot

reboot to recovery flash kernel reboot

reboot to recovery flash modem reboot

and go on with your day
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright actually you are my hero I never knew that!

I am not going to disable as I am going to wipe before i flash no matter what cause I dont have that many apps just like 20 something.

But yes I always make a nandroid back up no matter what as I try to be as safe as possible.

But thanks again for reassuring me on this as you are my hero. I was very worried about the whole lag fix deals and updates so thanks again man.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
But does this correct the Auto rotation problem I always see talked about when someone Flashes i9000 on a Captivate?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
thats what flashing the kernel does :P
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I can (partly) confirm this to work. GPS is not dying anymore. I still have to try it out in the open (I'm at work, inside a building so...).
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
omg...wow...this was my installation procedure w/o knowing the bugs...flash rom, flash setirons 1.5.6xt, flash jl3 modem, and flash gps fix...this is proabably why i have no battery or gps issues
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
Cool... let us know.
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
Whith this fix the firts time you try to use GPS take a long time to lock, I suggest to use GPS test from the market for the firts test
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
Can someone upload V7.5 with JL3 so that I can also use it?
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:

Flash it with cwm
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Was about to install 7.0.2 when I saw this :D - Just installed. Used the odin3 to stock, clear data/reset and install .zip via CWM recovery. Got the phone to the point where it was ready for titanium backup app restore but before doing so i removed all files under /sdcard/Voodoo, rebooted. No issues converting to ext4 either. Really liking the speed/performance - Thanks!!

The only issue I seem to have so far is that the font chooser activity within Settings/Display FCs - I saw in the change log that there are 30+ fonts but it appears that I can't change the default :)
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
But do I need to bring it to stock? and then do the whole procedure?

Any steps I need to follow?
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
Just uninstall all Helveticas fonts
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
no..just download and use rom manager to flash it,,,
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
Vinay,

Is that Install Zip from SD card option and then choose the Jl3 zip??
[Captivate Android Development] yummybar:
Hey guys, i still cant seem to get the gps to lock at all, just keep searching for location until screen blacks out then the application closes automatically.

anyone know how i can fix this?

Thanks!!

NVM I found it.
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
yes, just select the zip and its done!
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
at first...i wasn't sure what u guys were talking about...then i realized that I always flash a gps fix to any rom i download...i used the jm9 fix and it works fine...getting a lock within 30ft

[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Guys, with this rom can I flash kernel,theme,etc right after I flash the rom? So like without booting first then going to cwm again can I flash them in one cwm "session"? Some roms say I can some say I can't so just checking.
[Captivate Android Development] yummybar:
no lockwith the new modem. still on Waiting for location, but using lbs i get like 9 sattelites but no lock
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have never Flashed a Kernel. I see Setiron's 1.5.6xt listed to download there is a

setiron_v1.5.6xt.tar.7z

setiron_v1.5.6xt_cwmupdate.zip

What is the difference in the 2?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I saw you mentioned above something about SpeedMod being a Voodoo5 Kernel(I think that is how I read it). I thought SpeedMod used stumpys ultimate lagfix?

The new Darky's is now using SpeedMod Kernel and that is Kernel I am presently using so it no matter I was just wondering about that?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I am reading on the Speedmod forum it does say its using Stumpys ultimate lag fix?

I am using the voodoo 5 stable that came with the ROM and dont plan on switching but when 8.1 comes out I really dont want to but will if its necessary to disable the lag fix and mess with all that stuff.

Regardless Darky said himself though on the i9000 forum that he flashed a no-wipe version of 8.1 over his activated voodoo 5 stable and everything worked fine.

Just making sure if someone could give a definite response.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Yea I went to Joel's site and read about this and I trust it fine I just like to get all the info I can on a subject.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I trust him also so I believe it will still work, and if you made a nandroid back up its nothing it couldnt fix and revert back to v8 if v8.1 doesnt work
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
was running 8.0 + firebird2 + jl3

flashed 8.1 no wipe

rebooted

flashed firebird2

rebooted

flashed jl3

rebooted

no disabling of any lagfix's no wiping of data

no problems or fc's and ive tested everything

only thing ive noticed is no VooDoo app on my phone and no new high res wallpapers
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Wow if all were missing is the Voodoo app than I can sleep fine tonight.

Thanks man for the reasurrance when 8.1 is released for the Captivate ill be sure to flash.

But as I said earlier I have 22 apps so I dont mind restoring them each time I flash just to make sure of no problems. I dont know Im just paranoid and I always make nandroid backups.

Regardless very happy and cant wait till the Cappys 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I just got the i9000 Darky 8.1 and am so tempted to give it a try. I know this stupid question but this Darky has Speedmod Kernel which I use but I guess I would need to Flash the "Captivate" version of SpeedMod after I do the ROM? I assume there are 2 Speedmods...Correct?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Just saw this on SpeedMod Forum:

"Hardcores kernel is not Voodoo based, its similar, but its not Voodoo...As to disabling lagfix, read the whole first page, ive posted a FAQ there, also read Hardcores FAQ both cover this question...but no, you do not need to disable lagfix first, both kernels support the same file system (ext4)"
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
yes you will need to flash speedmod captivate edition. or else you will have orientation problems
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks again. I have been reading over at i9000 forum and I am seeing some problems being mentioned with 8.1. Now this may be all Operator error but I am going to "cool my heels" and wait a while to see what is happening with 8.1. Now I assume I could place the Captivate SpeedMod Kernel into the i9000 ROM before I Flash if I wanted to save a step?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
This is probably another really dumb question but Im just assuming already when the Captivate version comes out it will already have the Captivate Speedmod Kernel? Right... hahaha

Finally as the FAQ states and has already been posted about how they are similar therefore we dont need to disable.

But lets say we were to have problems with the upgrading to 8.1 because of some weird coincidence I dont know I hope it doesnt happen but I have to make sure.

Could I just restore my v8 Nandroid back up. Disable the lag fix. Then wipe data and cache thru CWM and reflash the v 8.1 upgrade.

Thanks in advance to whomever responds.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
yes you could place the zimage in the rom

or you could do it this way

flash the i9000 rom and boot it

run sgs kernel flasher and flash the kernel that way
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyyy:
Hey where do I get the jl2 modem to flash thru recovery? I am currently running a jpy modem. Is that okay?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
very rare to run into a problem to do that but does happen

and yes you could just go back into recovery and restore to a previous backup

if your going to wipe data and such second time i suggest just getting the WIPE edition of 8.1 and doing it that way it will wipe /data for you when it flash's

and to add about my "missing voodoo app" from before, you can just download it from the market search "voodoo"
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks once again. There seems be a lot complaints going on with 8.1 on the i9000 forums.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
SU and Busybox are pretty simple fix's just throwin that out there

the market works PERFECT for me no problems

bootanimation problem? why would people even complain, its so easy to replace with one you want.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I agree with what you say with 1st and 3rd Complaint they are easy fixes but I wonder why they just popped up with this update? I am in Love with my 8.0 with Speedmod and I have no need to change a thing I just love to "tinker" with things.

"If it ain't broke fix it until it is"
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Awesome thanks for the reassurance about the flashing over and recover

However you didnt answer my noob question about when the Captivate 8.1 eventually gets released Im assuming it will already have the Captivate Speedmod included so the auto rotation and buttons would be normal when 8.1 for the Captivate comes out?

And finally isnt the ROM that comes on this forum already a no-wipe so therefore if you wanted to wipe you had to do it in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Yes,Yes,Yes...... I had to keep adding to get enough letters in reply
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
sorry bit tired, long day

yes the one released in this thread will have the right kernel and a different modem so ur good to go there. and yes its a no-wipe so you would have to wipe /data yourself from recovery if you wanted to go that route
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hahaha man thank you for the reassurance, I am going to wait it out for 8.1 to become more and more stable and be released for the Captivate as Im VERY CONTENT with v8 as it has been amazing for me and I love this ROM.

Thanks for answering my questions man greatly appreciate it
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
wont be able to help anymore, my captivate is RIP the screen is done, closed my laptop to heavy and phone was in it, screen inside is toasted :(
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Look at the tree in the left hand top portion of your web page. If you are NOT in the "Captivate" section then you are in a section related to what ever it says.

This section here is written like this: Home>Samsung Captivate>Captivate Android Development>[ROM]Darky 8.0.1>

It's fairly easy.

A few methods have been mentioned, I would flash the whole enchilada in one shot though. But I've been tweakmoddifyborkering with this a few times so I'm not afraid of what may pop up. :eek: lol once you get past your first 5 or so soft bricks it becomes natural. :D phone-!-pc screen is no world coming to an end screen to me anymore but still I understand it could be one day, so I have a thrasher device that I use to test my initial flash on for when I do add a ton of stuff to a rom. I use a virtual device for my tweaking stuff if there's a problem it'll show there.

Now I just "try" and do everything on my own, I look at the change logs to see whats changed and does it in fact pertain to my CAPTIVATE or another device.

My current set-up is sick, at least for me for me anyway but I used to flash every single update because I assumed that every one of them was an improvement to the last. You'll learn that's not always the case.

Huge respect to the big guys around here for all they do.

The kernal as mentioned is where all the magic happens. Look for a kernal in the Cappy section and when you see "reoriented" that means it's been "reoriented" to fix things to work correct on your cappy. Auto-rotate, buttons etc.

Previously answered just validating. :p

And watch Ron he's a maaaad student here and glad he's using my tagline! ;)
