I'm looking to install Darky's Mod 9.0.2, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

I just got the phone today from a user who has congition installed on it. I'm fairly familiar with installing roms on WinMo, but this is my first android phone.

I know:

CWM is installed on it.

Rom Manager is installed on it.

It's running cognition v3.04

Firmware version 2.2

baseband version I896UXJL1

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

I've got a few questions:

1: Do I need to install the Captivate-fix.zip?

2: Do I need to install a new modem? (I'm not sure what the modem on a phone is, so I thought I'd ask)

3: If I plan to flash to 8.0, and then flash to 9.02 since it seems to be giving people less problems, should I install the new kernel after I flash to 8.0, or should I wait until after I flash to 9.02?

4: When do I install, if needed, the lagfix in that process?

Thanks in advance guys. Sorry for all the questions.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Thanks for the link!.....worked perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Im not saying you have to enable it, just Ficeto said that its not a problem and matter of fact sometimes better It isnt mandatory.

Secondly the reason I flashed that modem is because that was the modem tested all that day by Darky and his team, so there you go another good Captivate modem I just put that one in there because it was KNOWN to work.

Finally I booted up and flashed the new Speedmod but I dont believe that it is neccesary although people will benefit from it.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
I am seriously really liking this rom now that I worked through the install process.

Anyone who wants to install this without hassles need not follow the instructions that is in the op.

Really just install 8.1 then set it up the way you want it. Launch farmyard app and select all the options you want just do not select wipe then boot into cwm and flash 9.0.2.

**make sure you use the speedmod kernel it will run much better and save you so much troubles in the end. Flash the kernel after 8.1 and before 9.0.2**

After doing those steps this is running flawlessly!!
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
Ok, I'm out of ideas... fresh wipes and have tested two ROMs, two modems, two kernels, two themes, lagfix disabled/enabled...

but as soon as I add the accounts, that's when the battery drain starts... I've tried disabling the backup feature in the privacy options.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
You give good advice, which I appreciate. But take a step back and realize...you're essentially flashing two roms to get a single good working rom. There's something frightening about that.

sent from my galaxy s device running froyo 2.2.1 thanks to awesome xda chefs!
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I can't get the 3 button combo to work, so I've tried using Odin and the files to get it to work, but encountered problems.

I've been able to get the device to show up in odin, but when I do ADB reboot download to install the Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5, the device disappears when it goes into download mode.

I'm using Windows 7, which I've heard gives quite a few problems. Do you think I should try it on my Windows Vista computer? Any other ideas why it would disappear during the download screen?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I think I'm gonna flash the new Paragon release until this gets updated. At least I'll satisfy my flashing addiction......lol
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I thought we could only use i9000 modems with an i9000 ROM? I was told NOT to flash a captivate modem using the speedmod kernel.

Also anyone notice that sometimes all of the sounds are extremely muted and you have to reboot to get them back up to normal? I had the same problem on 8.1 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Bigred1991:
When flashing darkys 8.1 rom, will the speed mod kernel be flashed also or will I need to flash the kernel after flashing the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Think mine just froze up when flashing.... It says "Installing System, Be patient...." and has been on the same spot for 10-15 minutes.... Going to give it another 10, and then pull the battery? Idk what else to do....
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
was able to get it to go into recovery mode, after it wouldn't do anything. Currently restoring a backup. I tried to install 9.0.2 after

1: installed 8.0 no-wipe

2: installed captivate-fix.zip from recovery

3: enabled voodoo lagfix.

4: used rom manager to install rom from sd card.

Anyone have any idea what went wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] kencwh:
Thanks for your excellent works!

But I find the HTC CIME does not include in v9.02. Can you put it back in coming version? Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I pulled it from an older version which I had on my computer. Just put it into the system/app folder via rootexplorer or adb.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
There is nothing frightening about that at all. I used 8.1 as the base install and 9.0.2 became a no wipe update. I lost no settings going from 8.1 to 9.0.2 this way. It may not be the actual intent to load it this way but doing it that way worked better than any other way and believe me I tried SEVERAL different ways.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I would go back to Recovery..Flash the JL3 Modem and ReFlash a Captivate Kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Here's my thoughts:

1. ji6 modem paired with I9000 kernel if you flash captivate fix. This is bad mojo to anyone who's been around the captivate community for a while.

fix: flash latest speedmod and jk4 modem (or jl3 if you find it works better, I don't) before rebooting

2. The scripts are fast.... real fast... but I don't think they are done with write commits even if they say they are done.

fix: What I found is that if I count to 30 after installing, I don't lose market or have a swype that doesn't work.(sorta)

3. Swype is from i9000 and does not like the captivate fix and says its running in limited mode.

fix: grab swype from any of the jpy captivate roms. (libswypecore.so from /system/lib and swype.apk from /system/app)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
9.03 out for i9000. Read Link and try at own Risk

v9.0.3 Changelog:

1. Modem from 8.0 in effort to fix WiFi drain

2. Stable Speedmod

3. Working Captivate Modem

4. Back to AMEND

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Never mind. Joel has pulled 9.03 temporarily due to some issues.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I had this problem today. I am running Darky 9.02 with TLJL3 Modem and AT&T Network, today I got the "Emergency Call Only" appear. I had never seen this before but I rebooted my phone it disappeared and I have not noticed it again has anyone else had this?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ron:

This happens to anyone using any ROM, or phone, this even happened to me a couple times when i had my iPhone 3G. (Ya dont remind me..) But just a reboot will almost always work.

And if for some reason the problem is persistent (which it very rarely is), just wipe data and cache and you'll be good to go
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Thanks for the replies. After working on it for about 8 hours last night, I gave up and went to bed. Went to work and flashed it at work and it worked AMAZING.

The problem I was having the night before was that after it start up, when it does the "media scan" for the SD cards, it would vibrate once, lock up slight, and then I could use it for about 20-30 seconds, it would vibrate twice, and then it would restart. The restart wouldn't be a full restart though, it would just restart from the Darky's rom screen, not the entire boot sequence.

At work it ran for about 3 hours with no problem. I leave to go get lunch, starts the vibrating again. when I get back to my desk, it stops. Then I leave to go to class after work, start vibrating again. I get to class, it vibrated the entire time, and then on the drive home it did the same thing...

Anyone have any ideas? Should I format the entire internal sd card? The card still has the Cognition rom zips on it, from the previous user, but I don't think this would cause any problems.

Thanks again guys. I'll try what you recommended, and see where that gets me. But I feel that this is an entirely different problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright I had this EXACT same problem where it would work then do this same thing this is what you do:

Flash BACK to 8.1 or 8.0

http://www.mediafire.com/?wtx8dkvdi5oy64z

2. In CWM apply the Captivate fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10870672&postcount=1602

2.5. This is actually a recommended step when going from Darkyys ROMs turn on your lag fix you can check by going Speedmod features, Lagfix, and enable lag fix thru there. If its already there then good for you reboot your phone. Its not mandatory nor will it affect install its just something Ficeto once told me.

3. Boot up and check settings if your build model is SGH i897 then you are good to go.

4. Download the Darky app and configure what every you want YOU NO LONGER NEED TO WIPE (*I did not wipe and im working 100%)

5. Boot into recovery and flash the 9.0.2. http://www.multiupload.com/JDCO9KS2C2

6. Before you reboot flash this modem right after you succesfully flashed 9.0.2. http://static.ficeto.com/android/update.tljl3.modem.zip.

7. Once that is complete boot up and you'll be running the fully functional and super smooth Darky 9.0.2.

Have had ZERO problems, force closes, or lag in the past 3 days now.

Happy flashing and hope that helps you
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
Is it still necessary to install that modem?

That step isn't listed in the OP, is it on the ROM now?
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I had this problem as well, except the cause was the modem I used. In class, it would have full bars and such, then I leave and it starts vibrating. But I was using an ji6 modem on an speedmod LOL :D -- changed back to jk4/jk3/jl3 i was fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Did not mean to thank your post sorry about that but, in the OP that was before they knew what the problem with 9.0.2 was.

Its the modem which is the problem so YES flash the modem in the post I had above.
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
I'm getting an error during flash.

E:Error in /sdcard/Darkys_v9.0.2_Extreme_Edition.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

Is it safe to restart my phone?

Should I go ahead and flash the modem?

Is the .zip corrupt? If it is, how can I transfer a non-corrupt version to the phone without the ROM installed correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] pha|anx:
if I have one of hardcore's kernel's under my darky's 8 rom will this affect my install of 9.0.2 at all? will the current kernel simply be 'erased'?

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
You will be fine. Install the Darky app and configure your settings (choose Wipe in the app if you want).

Reboot into recovery install the Captivate fix then install 9.0.2. Immediately after install the modem and kernel you want for your Captivate while in recovery then

reboot and you should be up an running on 9.0.2.

Yes, the current kernel will be erased.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
I flashed just flashed the modems and the speedmod kernel, and it seems to be working fine. Tomorrow will be the true test. I use the I9000UGJK4 modem, that people say seems to work good, but I have a question...

I believe the modem that comes stock is MADE for the I897, correct? Why would flashing to a I9000 modem solve problems?

I also updated the kernel as a "Just in case this could be it" kinda thing. So far no problems, phone runs like a champ. Now time to install the apps that I've been wanting to install the past two days, but had to deal with all these other issues. Yaaa!

Thanks again everyone for your help and insight. I can only hope my experience/complaining can help others fix their problems.

Edit:

Does anyone actually know what the captivate-fix is? and what it's supposed to "fix"?

Also, What files do I need for swype to work? I've got backups from previous versions from roms on the phone, can I just copy those files?
[Captivate Android Development] Greatminds:
I experienced exact same problem.So for now I just flashed back Darky's 8.1 and will wait till we gey a stable 9.x
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I believe the only thing that the captivate fix does is makes the phone appear as an i897 again in the phone info instead of an i9000 (which happens because Darky is an i9000 based rom). This is so that the script recognizes your phone correctly and installs the right stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Wipe/no-wipe

I'm reading the log in the Darky file and it Lists Running Mount script, Voodoo lagfix detected etc. The mount script show successfully mounted. After "Done Mount script" it goes into the Running WIPE/NO-WIPE script We are running on Darky's ROM Executing NO-WIPE/data/dalvik etc and a gazzilion other files "was wiped" :confused: lol so what is it doing WIPEY, NO-WIPEY or PARTIAL WIPEY?:confused:

That modem in the ROM for me was a train wreck kept getting "error" while,trying to use WiFi, GPS worked but that's not saying much it was slow to lock. Phone calls people said I sounded like I was using VOIP. I flashed old faithful T959TLJL3 did a GPS Fix for Shnits and Giggles and Bada Bing Baby! Doubled the GPS SATS count and the speed to lock was literally like 2 seconds and I've honestly never seen like 7 SATS all at the same time lock that fast usually it grabs a few and adds a couple over some time. This was damn near instant I hit the the location button and when the screen changed it was BAM! 7 at one time then added another 4 over the next 30 seconds or so. WiFi I thought was still borked but I can confirm that the WiFi does work much better when you actually turn it on. lmao :D As soon as I hit the WiFi button it logged in immediately. Phone calls are clear now also.

Again I know that tons are saying that other modem is the greatest thing since sliced bread but not in my case and I know others are also having issues with it so maybe it's a thing with location or production date of devices.I flashed the original modem again and did all the usual tweaks and still same issues. I'm not sure why it's acting funky but I am sure it doesn't work as good as the TLJL3 for me.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Flash it and find out for yourself if it is in fact better in your case. What works like astroglide for some may work like sandpaper for others.

Download the various modem or modems you want to try out and place them all on your sd card where you have your ROM at and the flash from CWM.

Here's what I do:

Download whatever it is I want to flash and place on my internal SD

Make a complete back up of all apps and data with TiBu.

Reboot into recovery

Choose install .zip from sd and then the choose option use vol keys to get to what you are going to flash and use power button to execute

Go down to the flash option on the warning screen telling you that this can not be fixed and power button to flash it

After it flashes and you get a successful message reboot and let it boot completely

Use SGS tools to fix your GPS if you have those issues

Then go into GPS settings in SGS Tools delete GPS Data

Next do the location test conduct the test in a clear view of the sky once done exit SGS tools completely

Reboot your phone and see if all is well

I forget what region the i896 is from so I'm not sure if you need the GPS fix or not, sorry about that but if you do it's easy to do and you probably know already.

If it doesn't perform to your standards do the same routine with the TLJL and you should back to what works best for you.

I'm running a similar set-up but had to change a few things to get it running the way I wanted from the original Darky v9 ROM to this Darky v9.0 UE base modified/debranded custom/rebranded SGS/repacked with the following,Kernal SucKerPunch 1120/500 debranded custom/rebranded to Captivate I897 and ALL Tweaks Recommended and Optional Enabled, Lagfixes Enabled EXT4, Modem TLJL3. And it's running like a striped ass ape yet smoother than frogs fur and better battery than I got with the Speedmod 500Hz. The reason I tweaked the branding is I like my device to appear as stock as possible without the bloatware of course and the only reason the AT&T logo is still attached to the phone is because it is in fact an AT&T exclusive device so I keep that also or else that would be nicked immediately also and be whatever Samsung intended it to be an SGS whatever. lol
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Day 3 of 9.02. Besides the one time "Emergency Call Only" popping up I only have seen one other problem. I have my WiFi Sleeping Policy to "When Screen

Goes Off" sometimes like this Morning when I wake up phone my Wifi the Wifi just won't come on and when I check the Setting it show "Error" on Setting. I can click Off and On once or Twice and it back going fine. This not that big a deal but it is something I have seen. Other than that all going smooth.."Knock on Wood".
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
That means that every time the screen times out your WiFi disconnects too which I'm sure you already know this, change your WiFi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in".

I keep mine set to Never and just have to remember to shut it off when I leave the house or wherever I'm using WiFi at.

I was also getting error messages until I switched my modem.

And just a note since I knows you likes tinkering with things you should try existz kernal SucKerPunch I'm pretty damn impressed, it's all the love of Speedmod plus bonuses including even better battery. :eek: Who'd of thought.
[Captivate Android Development] bamjoe:
I have been using this rom for just about 3 days now and still no problems. Hopefully it continues.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Good Lord I wish I could have said that. I wonder why my initial flashing was a clusterphuktabulous chain of events then.

errrr I think someone upstairs is just testing me.....
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am using the TLJL3 Modem which I like because the GPS fixes fast. Though the WiFi doesn't always do this I will make your recommend Wifi Sleep Policy Change. I do really like SpeedMod "R" but I'll give the other a try.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
He uses Speedmod as the base and adds a few tweaks of his own like OC/UV yet you still have all the Speedmod settings in recovery that you are used to and he updates the same things that Hardcore does so from what I've seen it's Speedmod on steroids but with better gas mileage. I'm using the 1120/500Hz overclocked since it has better battery than the 1280 version and I don't really need 1280 or do Iiiiiii.........:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] daCLOUD:
Yeah man this seems to be the only issue I'm having on 9.0.2. Once I wake the phone the Wifi sometimes wont auto come back on and none of the widgets will turn it on....shows error in settings and I have to turn it on in settings directly. But I did have this issue in 8.0 also and I do wipe every time. I'm running JK4 and previously JL3 so not the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I changed my modem because I was having all kinds of issues and the TLJL always comes through but also my sleep settings I have set to "never" after I flashed the modem as I always use that setting so it appeared to me as a modem issue maybe when I changed to "Never" that's what it was that fixed it. I just turn it on and shut it off manually when I use the WiFi. And no issues turning on and off that I've encountered.

I guess you can't get a error on wake up if you don't allow it to sleep. lol
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I use the Tasker App to "wake-up" my GPS when other Apps call for GPS. I will probably Set Wifi to Off and make a Profile in Tasker to Turn it on when I need it.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
I forgot to mention I flashed "update.xxjpp.modem.zip" also when I changed my modem.

So far the modem itself is not the core of the problem so we've ruled that out and I've just done numerous tests as we've been discussing this using the various sleep rules and not a problem yet so I'm gonna have to rule that out also and now the only additional thing I did since this issue stopped for me was the flashing of the update.xxjpp.modem.zip file. You may want to try that.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey infringe I have a question regarding Suckerpunch, obviously I am on Darky 9.0.2.

Speedmod k12q, and the jl3 modem, with lag fix enabled, as well as the recommended tweaks

Can I just flash this kernel straight over with SGS Kernel Flasher then install the voltage control app?

Ive never used an OC UV kernel but everyone says they like this one a lot, what are the recommended voltage controls for a stable but fast kernel.

If I cant I will stay with Speedmod but everyone says this is like Speedmod on "steriods' with the same battery life, maybe better
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Hows it going to know you need to use wifi? What app requires wifi that would be the trigger to turn it on, meaning you would have to launch a program that requires wifi in order for Tasker to turn on the wifi correct? Isn't it just easier to slide down your notification list from the top of your Home screen and push the wifi button whenever you get to where you're gonna use it? I for instance use it at home continually so when I'm home I turn it on and then off when I leave. Which is only a slide and a button push.

Also the sleep rule set to "Never" doesn't mean it Never shuts off, it just never shuts off by itself once you turn it on, you simply turn it off from your home screen notification sliding drawer on top. That's what I use anyway to turn mine on and off.

But if there's an easier way fill me in would ya please. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Make sure you install the voltage.apk first since you're not using it currently. The tester in the third post with the screenshots explains the settings that are stable he also as the Voltage.apk you need in his post. And they lay out the instructions very well. I flash through CWM but I don't see why you couldn't use the SGS kernel flasher. After you flash reboot into recovery and go to the speedmod tweaks thing that you are used to already and do your tweaks.

And it does have better battery life than Speedmod while pulling 1400 plus Quadrants due to the overclocking giving you the power boost and the undervolting saving your battery life along with the other mods he has done. It's genius and what I love about it is that existz isn't trying to conquer the world with just some blistering kernal built for benchmarking numbers, he's stated many times that others will have higher numbers but not the same battery life or stability. Basically he wanted a super stable overclocked undervolted kernel with exceptional battery life and he has produced exactly that, with the help of the guru's of kernals as you see listed in his OP.

He took Speedmod and pushed it 3 steps further ahead in my opinion.

This is one more thing I love about being a member here is the ability to use parts from all the various developers work here and customizing them to your needs that's a beautiful thing.....actually that's simply Android. ;)

EDIT: OK I went ahead and created your situation and then flashed using the SGS Kernal flasher and can confirm it does indeed work. Just make sure you install the Voltage.apk before you flash it. Also I'm using the 1120/100Hz fyi got a 1361 quad without any of the tweaks enabled yet lol
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Do you have a link to that file? Also I have update-wif-dxjpa.zip file that I had used in the past for something in a Darky Build but I can't remember what it was actually suppose to do. I didn't Flash this file after I did 9,02 and not sure if I even need to now.
