How is jl2 modem compared to jl3 modem for you? Considering battery life mainly because everything else is working perfect. You really cant go "perfect" on bat lif since it can always go up, so just asking.

Edit: Also do you know where the "installation script to prevent heavy battery drain and gallery problems" is located in the 7.7 rom? I saw it on 7.7 changelog and wondering if I can just copy the files over?
[Captivate Android Development] sirodaulove:
Hi everyone. I'm need your helping.

I'm using rom darky version 7.5, but the skin or background messaging very bad. How can I change it? I like the skin or background messaging like version 7.0

Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
Go to settings, applications, manage. Find Market, and do a clear data on it. Usually works when I have this problem after flashing a new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] devz3r0:
At first it was about the same, but I noticed my phone would switch between WCDMA Bands 1900 & 850. Once I forced 850 the battery life beat JL3.

I currently use JuiceDefender v3.0.9beta w/UltimateJuice along with Screen Filter to conserve battery (it does a great job).

As far as speed with the JL2 modem, well, as they say: "A picture is worth a thousand words"
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
flashed over 7.5 without wipe and things are smooth, already using xcal's voodoo kernel and the sdcard fix, only thing is i cant find the option to change lockscreens, settings -> display doesnt show it.

will report back if the batter is better then 7.5 as i got 20+hours off that rom.
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
Exact same issue.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Did you have the sdcard fix on 7.5? If so did you have to apply again?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
yes i had it applied in 7.5 and i did have to re-apply it after installing 7.6

not to much of a hassle as i was in recovery flashing the kernel anyways
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Flashed 7.7 last night.but I would say 7.6 is better.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for reply. The time I fixed the sdcard in 7.5 I just manually edited the text in the file that was causing the problem. So the flash Fix does the same I presume
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
so i havent updated since 6.0 jpx lol.. Kind of falling behind here.. Used to flashed every other day .. now i havent in weeks.

The title of the file says voodoo off but the changelog shows its enabled, so to install the speedmod kernel, it doesnt matter if its on or off?
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
this is a wifi sleep policy icon in one of the two spare parts apps...click it and nothing is selected...selcect android default...voila battery life is saved...D7.7 is nice btw
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Yea, just install the rom in clock work then install the kernel you want (I'm using speed kernel ATM) then reboot it it like normal and it doesn't do anything with Voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Thanks... how is speedmod working for you?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I flashed speedmod and its working really nice...very good battery...if i am not using my phone it battery meter doesnt get change at all....i am liking...btw i am on 7-7
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
If I want to do a wipe/install of the 7.7 ROM but don't want to install the extra fonts and some of the other stuff, can I simply open up the zip in windows explorer and remove what I don't want? Or will that mess with the signatures or something else I'm not aware of?
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Its pretty amazing, last night it only lost 5% over 7 hours. Its very smooth as well, I honestly have no issues with it so far.
[Captivate Android Development] transfector:
Yup, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
Once again, thanks ytt3r for speedy porting of darkyy's rom 7.7.

And i thought you said you were going to have a new thread for every release?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
There seems to be an issue with the battery Icon on the i9000 thread. Has that been corrected on this one?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Thanks guys... great to here the battery info.. very very important! I was about to do 7.6 and then i refreshed to see the responses for the speedmod and bam there was 7.7 lol... thank goodness i didnt start yet :-)
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I just noticed my battery icon is gone...but on darky's original post, he has posted it as known issue...they are working on it i guess...
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
Hey guys, the 7.7 version says voodoo is on by default. Any way to disable voodoo BEFORE installation (altering the zip?) so that I can apply speedmod kernel right away instead of rebooting twice?
[Captivate Android Development] Stoids:
Appreciate it as always, the battery icon missing is a little weird, but not big enough to bother me. Just using battery widget at my lock screen instead!
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I can't figure out how to disable Voodoo so I can do the speedmod. I'm not finding anything to disable it in the recovery.... am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
You need to create a file called "disable-lagfix" in the voodoo folder of the internal sdcard. Then reboot and it'll go through the process of disabling the lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Ah stupid me, I totally forgot about that... thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
When you flash 7.7 out kicks back to CWR then flash the speed kernel it kicks back to CWR again and you can set the tweaks then reboot it. It won't activate voodoo because you aren't using a kernel that supports it.
[Captivate Android Development] thewoose:
Awesome!

This ROM is fantastic! Of all the flashing I've done this one is far and away the best performer and best looking. Thanks for the great work!

On my Captivate the Quadrant bench exceeds ALL else :)

I'm not allowed to post links or else I have a great screenshot of the Bench!

Anyone else having any problems with LauncherPro? I unlock it by putting in my paypal email and unlock code and it says it unlocked but after I restart the app it says it has not upgraded to the paid version. Just wondering if there is a issue with the app or something with 2.2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Stoids:
My battery icon magically appeared now. Everything working great, blazing fast and stable.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
The only thing I can really suggest is try uninstalling it then reinstalling it. Sometimes when apps like launcherpro are included in the rom they can act up. If this doesn't help then I'm not really sure what the problem is.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I tried doing that a couple of times. I even tried a TIBU restore+data and that isn't working. I install LauncherPro on my wife stock Captivate and it works just fine. So the only conclusion I can come to is that something on this rom is causing this problem. LauncherPro worked just fine on other non 2.2.1 roms I ran.

I'm going to try to flash back to stock and start over to see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] rafaunderground:
???

with this new version 7.7 has tested whether the micro sd works well in mass storage mode?

that the previous versions from 7.0.2 to 7.6 does not worked the external memory.

only the icon appears in windows but nothing shows.

was running only the internal memory.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
My battery icon came right back after a second reboot and activating the round battery gauge. Batt life is insanely improved after adjusting my email notifications according to the article at battery university. I finally got a rom completely working with all the apps and features I want so far.

Thanx again ytt3r. ;)

this rom is great .my battery icon dissapears when im charging the phone not much of a big deal for me everything else works great
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
How do you activate the round battery gauage?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Can you link the Battery Unversity artice?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
That's interesting. This is the only rom i've used where TiBu wouldn't restore launcherpro's data no matter what I did. I chalked it up to it being a 2.2.1 based rom and maybe there was something different in those. You may be right though that it could be this specific rom.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I just flash my phone back to stock and reinstalled this rom fresh. Everything is working just fine now. So maybe as a word of warning this rom does work pretty good installing over other roms but it isn't perfect and I and know one else should expect it to be perfect. So if you are having problem like I had do a flash to stock JH6 and then to this rom. Just my $0.02.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Hit your applications icon it's listed in there.

This is the same article they posted at BU.

WHOOPS sorry wrong article but great read, I'll post the correct one in a sec bro.

Jeez, now I find 50K of them basically they were stating to change the default email notifications because the amount of juice it takes especially if you have more than one email addy account on your SP.

I'm still looking though for the actual article.

Also I flashed this to fix the external sd rom not showing up when you connect to pc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=steam&page=575

Also I confirm the battery icon disappears when connected to usb either charger or pc.

Hope that info helps anyone.

Thanks found it. The Spare Parts App that has it has a "White Block" across the Bottom what is causing that and can it be fixed?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I had to install the Fix to get Ext, card to appear with 7.7 also
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Not in your apps menu hit your applications icon on your phones launcher, the blue and white box on the right side of the launcher.

Also the "never sleep" function is a big help. I have three email accounts and changed the ones that I don't need to be notified as often to 1 hour also you can forward your emails from one account to another and make it easier on your batts life.
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
So any major problems with 7.7, or should I go ahead and flash?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Please Answer!

A couple questions regarding the ROM when I get back from all the New Years festivities with my wife and family I am going to flash this in the morning I really like all the feedback that it has received. Seems like a very very stable and fast ROM.

But I have a couple questions and I really would like some people to help?

1. With the battery icon its just clicking on an icon to get the battery icon back (and is the issue just when charging the phone but also when you un plug the phone?

2. Everyone is talking about the SpeedMod Kernel but without it is the battery life good already or is it an necessity?

3. If I do decide to get disable the voodoo then just flash that Kernel through CWM all I do is create the "disable-voodoo" in the voodoo folder and then just restart the phone or go into Recovery and reflash something thats where IM confused?

Thanks so much if someone please helps

Happy New Years
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Go ahead and Flash. If you have External SD Card you will need the Fix but this is the smoothest ROM I have had. Do go to the Spare Part App and set the WiFi Sleep and Battery really improves. My GPS Locks super fast without any Fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:

Couldn't agree more.

[Captivate Android Development] thewoose:
Just flashed 7.7 today and WHOA!! The speed is incredible! Also I don't know what voice text-to-speech app you included but after trying Navigation with the Super-Sensitive GPS the voice prompts are very clear and MUCH easier to understand than the 'stock' one!

Thanks for the super New Year ROM!!
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
This rom is awesome! Originally thought I would ring in the new year with assonance but 7.7 is great. Transitions, battery life, and a great signal definitely makes this the rom to beat on 2.2.1 until 2.3 starts becoming the norm. Anyone else using the config of this Rom, JL2 modem, the Speedmod kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
just as a heads up, whenever I attempted to change the font, settings will FC repeatedly (I'm assuming this might have something to do with the very large amount of fonts included in this ROM). and I did perform a cache/data wipe.

rebuilding the ROM with the fonts removed allowed the font settings option to work.

also, the included gingerbread keyboard does not have working word prediction, I replaced it with this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9824457&postcount=190 and it works fine

edit: I'm also running into the GPS problem as stated earlier. Google Navigation has it come up temporarily in the taskbar and then disappear
[Captivate Android Development] zerofx:
Ah I just flash 7.0.2 this morning too! Is it recommended to flash back to stock first before updating?
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
No, you don't even have to wipe :) however if after flashing you have strange unexplained issues, wipe and reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
I am also having problems obtaining a GPS lock. I flashed from stock where I did not have issues getting a lock. Now when I download and run the GPS Test it sits there and doesn't see any satellites. Clear sky in Los Angeles tonight.

Great, awesome rom...Except I had one major issue with it or maybe it was something I did wrong or didnt do. After flashing 7.0 my speakers didnt work and the head phone jack didn't work. Like I didnt get any sound what so ever. I had to pull the plug half way out on the head phones slightly for it to work. Same for the aux input when I plug it to m car. Same issue with 7.5. And a little quirk is that the home button didn't bring me back to the home screen.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
7.6 is coming :-) .. are you creating another thread for this? :D
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
PLEASE NOTE:

I had issues previously, and then a font pack was added to Darky's 7.5, and now that same font pack has been ported to our Captivates.....

Do

NOT

try to use / install the Helvitica fonts.

One of them will cause a FC every time.

Delete them and the rest work great.

Getting ready to test the new ROM, thanks for the quick release!
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Everything seems to be working perfectly except for GPS (it supposedly enables, but nothing happens when I attempt to use it in any application). I'm in the U.S. btw. Running glitterball's newest oc/uv kernel. Hopefully the GPS issue can be fixed without requiring a wipe. Otherwise very fast and stable.
[Captivate Android Development] zerofx:
Sweet! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
After having the ROM installed for 8 or so hours, I have to say it kicks ass. Super fast, fluid and responsive.

A couple miscellaneous questions/issues I have:

When the bottom buttons light up in standby when a message or email comes in, and stay lit, is this a function of the kernel or can this feature be disabled? It seems to have taken a chunk out of my battery over night.

GPS is still broken after clearing data using SGS tools and ensuring the device is using the North American servers instead of EU.

I tried downloading the GPS Utility from Samsung in the Market but because the device is recognized as an i9000 variant it wouldn't reset the settings.

I uninstalled the Helvetica fonts and no more font-related issues. Perhaps including an option to pass on all the fonts would be cool as I ended up removing all but three of them.

How easy would it be to change some of the phrasing on the ROM since it's meant for the US Captivate? Specifically "Favorite/Favourite" and "Optimization/Optimisation" and "Color/Colour." Totally not a big deal at all, just curious about it.

Keep up the great work...aside from the GPS my issues are all very minor!
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
will this possibly have a gps lock fix?
[Captivate Android Development] Tarasque174:
Im pretty sure I had the right one. I picked the wipe vrs. and noticed this the first ime I flashed. Then flashed again cause I thought I might have messed something up or skipped a step.
[Captivate Android Development] DarrellRaines:
It's a bug with the Helvetica Fonts. Uninstall them from the Apps menu and you should be able to use the other fonts. My Cappy looks gorgeous with Times

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:

[Captivate Android Development] mightyfreak:
hello all,

I got a problem , when update to 7.5 (from version 7.0) i got a black screen and after that nothing. Waited for half an hour but still nothing. Now my Galaxy S cant start up , not even the starting screen. The 3button way doesn't work (it did before).

So I have only a black screen and nothing else. Battery replace doesn't work.

Does someone have an idea.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Have you tried getting into Download Mode by Removing Battery,replace Battery,hold down Vol. buttons and plug USB in?(I think that the sequence)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The only thing I am missing is the ability of settings Contacts to Groups. In the past(I mean Stock) in Contacts if you wanted to Add Contacts to a Group(Family.Friends.etc) You could go to Menu and Add Member and ALL your Contacts appeared and you could Click the ones you wanted to add and they all added at once. I can't find that in any of Darky's. NO BIG DEAL at all and there maybe another way to do this,just asking.

Thanks

Installation

Please need some help with the installation because in this it doesnt state whether this is a Wipe or a no wipe so Im assuming this is what I have to do correct me if im wrong.

1. Flash back to stock via Odin (already on Stock its a new phone have had it for a week or 2)

2. Download ROM Manager flash CWM ect.

3. Master Clear (IS THAT NECESSARY?)

4. Place ROM on internal SD Card

5. Boot into Recovery

6. Apply SD card, install, apply, reboot. ect.

7. Reboot phone and already enabled with Voodoo and ready to go.

Is that all I just need a little more clearification on if step 3 is necessary or can I just back up all the Apps I have with titanium backup. And just flash this ROM and it will automatically wipe all my apps and settings?

Thanks so much
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Once you have ROM on your SD Card. Go to ROM manger and select Install ROM from SD Card. Scroll down and find the ROM and Click. You shouldn't need to Clear Data just Click and let it run.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
my nfs shift shuts down on the load on 7.7

Nova is a graphical mess too. Something is going on
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright should I make a backup and also clear data and cache through ROM Manager? Those are the two options.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
If you at Stock you don't need Backup because it easy to get there with Odin. Again I wouldn't Clear either from Stock but you can. This ROM is just so amazing with its' NO Wipe, I have never Wiped. I have only went from Stock to Darky's ROMs so I don't feel Wipe is needed. Now if you had other Custom ROM on then went to Darky's then yes Wipe.

Thanks. One last question what do you feel the Big advantage is for SpeedMod on Darky's 7.7?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
It gives you more lagfix options. Voodoo is preset already...no way to to make changes.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
