Looks like the screen brightness was lowered starting with k12m according to the changelog so going back to k12l gets us back to the stock brightness while still geting the benefits of the voodoo sounds... Looks like k12n tried to increase the brightness a bit but I agree it's still too dim for me.

I think I'll give it another week - Maybe k12o is around the corner :)

from the changelog (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-speedmod-kernel.html) -

K12N: 15-Jan-2011

- More balanced auto-brightness tuning, brighter indoors vs K12M

- Auto-brightness changes in 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds in K12M

- Lowered voice call and recording microphone levels a bit

K12M: 14-Jan-2011

- Low brightness fix: lower minimum brightness (about 30% lower than stock)

- Auto-brightness tuning:

- - Gets brighter faster than stock outdoors

- - Stays dimmer longer than stock indoors

- - Brightness levels more evenly spread out

Not sure if this is related, but according to TiBu, MTP Application is listed as one of the "Missing apps" to be restored on my phone. Is MTP required for normal USB mounting?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
When you said "Cleared Data" did you Re flashed and checked the Clear Data option there or did you Clear Data to correct SU some other way?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
1600? Not with a speedmod kernal correct? And personaly I don't think this modem is better, at least not better than the one I'm using.

I hate to say it but I just flashed it and uhhhh me no likey! So I flashed my set back. I also tried the N 500 kernal and no dice for me either.

Modem was no good for me in So. Cal. went back to old faithful.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Hey iNFRiNGE when you stated: "I hate to say it but I just flashed it and uhhhh me no likey". What didn't you like other than the Modem?

Thanks

Failure at line 5

has anyone experience the following: E:failure at line 5, when flashing 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
It's just doesn't feel the same, the response was not the same and then the fact that I lost my network icon didn't sit well even though it ws probably a flashing issue. And the modem was nothing close to the TLJL3 for me. And the google voice wouldn't connect. Then I flashed the N 500 kernal and and after about 30 minutes I flashed my set up back and everything was like butter.

Try it out for yourself and tell me what you think :p That's what we're here for right :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for input. I plan on flashing it after Church today.
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Good Job

I noticed the Model Number is wrong:

It says GT-I9000

not the I897 for the Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] dr_gmang:
wrong forum
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
This ROM is based on i9000 that why you see that
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Did you get the 8.1 ROM from the 1st page of this Thread?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
I pulled MtpApplication.apk from an earlier rom .zip and copied it into /system/app - Works now.

Can still mount the drives using the menu item from the dropdown notifications bar when USB debugging is available.

The MTP application allows for the internal/external SD to show up in windows explorer without USB debugging.
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
The home button acts like a back button so I can't open recent apps. Otherwise its great and all the other bugs are fixed!!

Sent from my phone
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Ok, thanks for the info. I always have USB debugging enabled, so I haven't run into any issues yet.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You sure you flashed the one from my thread? Or are you an i9000 user who flashed this? That sounds like you flashed the wrong one.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Just Flashed 8.1 over 8.0(have SpeedMod "M" and Lagfix). I flashed without Clearing any Data and Flash went fast as normal(about 3 min). Everything is Fast and smooth as before except I have seen on FC on Widgetoid(process.com.jim2) and I am not sure what that even is. I haven't done Battery recalb. yet so can't comment on Batttery at the moment. Wifi and GPS doing super without any adjustments. So far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] ahrke:
awesome, thanks a lot for all the work. =)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
How do I change the Bootup screen animation from the New "Darky ROM" to the Old "X" thing? I sort of liked the "X"

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Go edit your build.prop file and change it to SGH-I897 if you want. And before you say it YES the boot screen says i9000 too. this is a i9000 based rom ported to work on a captivate. So therefore the i9000 branding is all over the place in this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I didn't even notice it changed lol

Should be in bootanimation I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks but where do I find the "Old X"? Then how do I change? Just rename the New to something and Copy the Old there?

Another thing I noticed, I had to go back and redo the Battery Tweaks on Speedmod, I never had to do this when I just updated the Kernel by itself. No Biggie though.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright I still havent flashed to 8.1 but my concern is that if I dont flash to 8.1 when lets say 8.2 comes out could I still flash over 8.2 over v8?

Or would I have to flash 8.1---->then flash 8.2?

And input would be appreciated.

P.s. I am kind of curious to try this out but if I dont like it would the easiest way to go back be restore my nandroid back up? Or reflash v8 thru CWM and wipe data before?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Yes you can skip various versions and Flash.
[Captivate Android Development] carlc64:
Failure at line 5

iNFRiNGE, any suggestion on fixing E:failure at line 5 when flashing ytt3r 8.1. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright thats reassuring.

Im still an addict and want to try 8.1 but I dont want too considering the success I have been having with v8 and the mixed feedback being received right now
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
I did. What does the new rom report to AT&T. I noticed they can tell what phone the sim card is in.

Yea the kernel has a different splash screen than the rom.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK. I have pulled the Bootanimation file from older Darky. Now do I just rename the Present bootaniamtion and copy this "older" bootanimation there in the phone or is something I did to use CWM and Install it to phone?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
Home Haptic button fixed??? went the I9000 +captivate rom/radio and it doesn't work. Any solutions???!!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Does 8.1 fix Gingerbread keyboard also?

And did you fix the Root problems and everything else that was going on with Darkys i9000? Or are there still some existing?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I'm having a weird bug with the Gingerbread Keyboard in 8.1. While in landscape mode, if I open the keyboard in a full-screen app that hides the notification bar (like DolphinHD), there is a space above the textarea where the notification bar normally is. On top of that, pressing any key on the Gingerbread Keyboard causes the notification bar to appear and shift everything on the screen downward for a second (making typing very annoying as the screen is constantly shifting up and down).

Does anyone else have this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got No problem with Root on 8.1 and though I have only done a few texts so far my Gingerbread keyboard seems fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright I just flashed it seems like everything is booting up normally the new bootscreen though is kind of odd... Kind of like a Transformers meets the Devil.

Im reading everywhere but do you know the easiest way once this thing boots up to remove that and put the old Nexus S boot stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I cleared the data for the superuser program in application management. I DID NOT clear the data of the phone before I flashed. I never do.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE: Don't listen to anyone with home button issues as they flashed the original Darky mod and not the port. If you are too dull to read the OP and flash the wrong ROM and then come and complain about it here I don't know why the hell you are on XDA messing with your phone in the first place. For everyone else that reads before they go and completely change their phone you are good to go.

I flashed 8.1 over 8.0 and have no problems. I did not clear data as I just went for it. I get a lower quadrant score with the new kernel versus the older one 1300 vs 1600, but I don't think I care. The modem seems to be better (faster and more responsive) and the battery life seems to be at least the same which means very good). I had a small problem of superuser FCing, but I just went into application management and cleared the data for it. Just to let you all know I go into clockwork recovery after I flash and clear the cache and the dalvik cache to be safe as that was the procedure on my Milestone and it seems to keep things running smoothly here. Also do not forget to go back into the SGS tools and change your GPS pool to north american and then clear the GPS data so you get a 10 sat lock in 5 seconds flat down to 5 meters like I do!

Darky is the man and waiting for ytt3r's port is the only way to go if you want everything to work perfectly. Be smart and read the OP correctly so you get the correct ROM for your captivate and try to weed out the people complaining because they flashed the wrong rom and the people genuinely here with problems pertaining to ytt3r's port. Read everything and have fun! I hope this helped you guys and if it did make sure to click thanks so I know.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Ok...I got boot animation changed back to the "OLD X". Pulled old one from 8.0 Darky and used Root Explorer to Copy it to System-->Media on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the info on Clearing Data. I knew there was way to do it on the phone but never had used it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I just flashed 8.1 I like it, its pretty clean I dont care for quadrant scores and I like the new ROM, I cant feel any new improvements but the modem does work great for me. I just flashed it cause I like to be up to date.

But I never have been able to get great battery life with this ROM i get 13 hours or so before its dead?

I have the wifi sleep policy to off when screen off. And I have auto sync on because I do need emails and I dont want to download things such as juice defender to cripple my SMARTphone which got even SMARTER thanks to Darky and everyone else.

So how does everyone achieve these great battery scores please tell me if you have any input?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
So I:

1. Delete "bootanimation.zip"

2.Find the old bootanimation.zip from Darkys v8?

3. Place that on my SD Card

4. Move that to <system><media>

5.Reboot

Is that all?

And if something goes wrong just restore v8.1 from Nandroid

EDIT: I cant find the old bootanimation.zip from v8 can you put a link also please?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Correct. I renamed the bootanimation.zip that came with 8.1 to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case something went wrong and I need to go back easily. But since all went well you can just delete the new one before Coping new on there if you want.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
How do you rename it all I get in root explorer is extract
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Be sure it hit the Tab in Root Explorer to change from R/O to R/W so you can Write. Find the file and "Long Hold" it and option screen comes up. There pick rename and do your thing.
[Captivate Android Development] carlc64:
Guess I won't be getting any response so I'll just have to figure it out for myself.
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
Sorry my bad... I flashed the wrong one..... thanks for telling me!!!

Sent from my phone
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got no clue about this but have you asked this question on the i9000 forum for this ROM? Someone might have info there.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
@ ytt3r

Now that we are using a new kernel you might wan to change the linpack and quadrant scores in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
So it appears I'm having other issues with the Gingerbread Keyboard, with the text in the window being cut in half o_O

This only happens in landscape mode. This is an ultra-clean flash (brand-new Captivate, flashed to JH7, cleared data and cache/factory reset before flashing the ROM).
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
First flashed this ROM (v8.1) yesterday. Big thanks to ytt3r for the port and Darky for the ROM.

Two quick questions, if I may:

What's the best way to restore apps, assuming I do opt to go back to stock or wipe /data? I ask because I'm used to TiBu being included in the ROM install to expedite the process; is it not included here because this version is non-wipe?

I notice Swype no longer has the microphone key that I'm used to seeing. Is this because it's a newer or older version than I'm accustomed to?

Anyway, no complaints whatsoever. Not even a single FC yet. Battery life is baller, as are the window animations.

Again, thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Can't you just download or sideload TiBu?
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Of course I can. Would that I didn't have to though, ya know?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
AT&T reads off your IMEI I believe or sim which reads the imei either way so don't matter, I go to att wireless.com and my device shows i897 already on there and I never told them squat, as a matter of fact they contacted me 3 weeks after I was using my phone to tell me they changed my plan because I am now using a smart phone. bastards. Now the Market if you don't change your fingerprint will show you on a i9000 and list the hidden apps for those devices. The fingerprint is a different line in the build.props looks like this: ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.2/FROYO/XXJPO:user/release-keys Mine looks like this now:ro.build.fingerprint=Samsung/SGH-I897/SGH-I897/SGH-897:2.2/FROYO/XXJPO:user/release-keys which matches oem release for the fingerprint for market. there;'s a few other changes that are different on oem users name is the name of thew owner of the phone your name and on these roms it's "root". Personally I removed as much as I could that said I9000 cause I'm not on a I9000. It's like me driving a Tahoe with Yukon emblems on it, it may not affect the way it drives or the stability but I look like I should be wearing a helmet when someone sees me in it. :D It's all up to you though as the nore stuff you do to your phone the more steps you have to do every time you upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Honestly I've never heard of that one :confused: But I will look into it in the event I do come across it though.

Sorry about that,ooh wait wait wait, that might be one of the script errors ytt3rs was telling me about from the I9000 release you sure it's the ported one you have?

Still gonna check it out though. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] carlc64:
Thanks appreciate the reply. Not sure whats going on cause I was running ytt3r ported 8.0.1, downloaded his 8.1 last night and tried flashing today and got error E: failure at line 5. did a wipe and reinstall,same problem. Tried to reinstall 8.0.1 same problem. tried darkys 8.0 installs ok. not sure whats wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
That's all fine and dandy but some modems work better than others in different parts of the world. A person in a concrete city probably will not have as good GPS as someone who is in more open space. Saying "so you get a 10 sat lock in 5 seconds flat down to 5 meters like I do!" is a bold statement because I know for a fact that there are too many variables involved for that to be a 100% guarantee. I'm not trying to slam you although it kinda looks that way sorry:p I've seen two identical phones right next to each other have different performance results. That modem was horrible for me but I get similar results to you with mine sometimes radical numbers of sats but that again depends on my location at the time. I just don't want those that know no difference to think that their device should act just like yours or mine or anyone's in particular because we may have certain results. It should always be YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) in a reference to our results .

And yes there is a huge problem here with the flashing of the wrong rom and people complaining or making false statements regarding bugs, not false in the manner that it hasn't happened to them but false in the manner of that it is not a problem with the correct rom for their device.

The last rom still had xcal's kernal which explains the difference in your quad scores, try glitterballs and you'll get a different score also.

I only say this because there seems to be a tremendous amount of new users coming through here and also the amount of downloads to these last few roms and I want them to be aware that their mileage may differ so they don't try to hang themselves if they aren't close.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Just to let everyone know after a bit of use this modem is light years better than the modem in 8.0! My calls go out faster, my speeds are higher and response times are lower.

GREAT choice ytt3r! THANKS!

Edit: Posted at the same time the guy above me posted :) I am in Canada using Rogers and this is my experience here with the new modem. True enough it might not be better for everyone considering there are many other networks, but for me the difference it night a day.

Also the above post makes a good point about YMMV which is extremely true. Again this is my experience in a city with good coverage. Also I don't feel slammed as you make some very good points and constructive criticism should be always taken with respect as it makes us better. That is how I feel at least. Thanks for making some modifications and stipulations to my earlier post as I agree with you fully iNFRiNGE!
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Here it's a different device but may have your answer in there. I haven't gone through it completely. I'm keeping my eye out for this though so in the event it happens to someone or myself I have an answer.

Come someone please tell me how to get good battery on this ROM its decent but I want the results everyone else gets
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Never use your phone and your battery life will be PHENOMENAL!

LOL, I don't know I am a light to moderate user as school takes up most of my time so maybe that is why my battery lasts 2 days without a charge on average.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
OK this has been said a gazillion times all over the board but I'll give you a run down of what works for me.

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.

One of the biggest problems is people do not let the battery drain all the way down so the system knows what the bottom end of the battery cycle is as well as the top being a 100% charge.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright thanks sorry for re asking again.

Loving 8.1. Very solid ROM
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
with v8.1 i see all those tweak options, in recovery, and enabled them. i also see the option to convert to ext4, or rfs. is it safe to toggle between ext4 and rfs? is there an advantage to over the other?
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
v8.1 wall paper...

i just flashed v8.1 right over v8.0.1 without a hitch. however, the city scape wall paper wasn't installed, and i was kinda looking forward to it. is it buried somewhere in the file system, or can i download from somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey guys isn't the lag fix come disabled with this ROM? Isn't that correct? so when the next Darkys ROM comes out we don't have to worry about the lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
Will I-9000 themes work for this?? such as the ones posted on Darky's forum?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks iNFRinge, I had seen those instructions but I had never seen those "combined". I had done the Battery Wipe and Charging thing and I had seen the "Fully" drain battery but I had never seen do both at same time.
[Captivate Android Development] gregoor:
Which lag fix is recommended ??? enable the voodoo or use the lag fix through recovery?????
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Converting your partitions to ext4 is the lagfix. This improved performance a lot on old/stock ROM's, although rfs has been improved a lot in later ROM's. You probably won't see much performance difference between them in this ROM, although ext4 might yield higher Quadrant scores.

They're virtually identical and use the same filesystem. The lagfix built into the Speedmod tweaks menu is more convenient to toggle and automatically creates a backup before starting.
[Captivate Android Development] wvmstr:
Captivate users..... to get GPS V8.01 working you need to make the following change.

Select SGS Tools in your apps

Select GPS Fix

change the drop down to north.america.pool.ntp.org

Mine was set at the european one and I could not get a GPS fix.

Once changed it got a GPS fix within 30 sec, never lost the link.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Just to report, as this is the first custom ROM I've flashed on my 3rd Captivate. Aside from issues with the Gingerbread keyboard, performance is the best I've had with any Darky ROM. Battery life is also fantastic--I'm seeing the same drain rate as I did on my first Captivate running Darky 8.0, so I expect over 2 days of light usage out of this.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
let me just add too, that v8.1 had the supl settings on auto which did not use supl.google.com. SGSTool=>lbsTest mode=>SUPL/CP; switch to custom.
[Captivate Android Development] digitlman:
i used one click root on my captivate and rooted it, used titback to backup my apps, and installed rom manager. i clicked flash clockwork at the top and that acts like it worked. however now when i click load rom from sd card and click on the darky.zip file it reboots into a menu of mostly blue text and is called "samsung recovery utils for BML"

i get a little menu and can reboot, and thats it. how do i get this to reboot into clockwork and flash the rom?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Click reinstall packages. May have too twice. And that'll be your stock recovery now.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
8.1 seems like a great improvement over 7.8..so I'm going to flash. Will try and report back with any problems or comments. Gotta charge phone first.

*crosses fingers* Hopefully I can flash without having to wipe.
