People for god sakes read a bit of the thread and you won't have to experience the corrupt update file for yourselves. Always, always, always read a bit about what people have to say before flashing something and you will know the dos and don'ts of the particular version of the ROM and avoid wasting your time!

Speedmod kernel and JL3 modem....best battery life ever....after 12 hrs still on 61...and yeah i am heavy user...means never put down my phone for more then 15 mins :P
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
i inadvertently used an I9000 rom the first time around with v.7.7 too. i did use the correct version with v.7.8 (darkytt3r_v8_BLN_voodooOn.zip, unless the I9000 rom has same filename), but still had a rotate issue. once i installed 7.8 without romMgr, the rotate issue was resolved, and so far, i haven't noticed any other issues.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
same here...only other three works...but i never used that feature so it doesnt matter..

V8

Can't seem to get it to boot up. Get's caught up on the "X" screen.

Did a master clear, wipe data and Revert to stock before I flashed (using CWM). Going back to 7.8 since it worked fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] haojan:
Hi viny!

What version did you update from (I am currently on 7.8)? Did you do a wipe or no wipe? Are we able to flash ROM,kernel,modem at the same time or does it require a reboot in between? Which speedmod kernel are you using?

I am a heavy user and would like to see how I can match your battery life. Do you toggle data off? Wifi? I have been using Juicedefender to toggle my data in order to make it through even a day and it is tough.

Thanks!

EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH v8, FOLLOW THIS

Follow this POST. It tells everything:

Once u install a cappy kernel, auto rotate and button remapping issues get fixed!!!
[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
Ahhhhh, so you have to customize it!!!

Then if you like 7.8, you should be able to flash over it with 8 and keep your kernel!!

Got it!

To Install,

1. Rooted device required.

2. Copy the corresponding file to clipboard with Root Explorer.

3. Go to the /system/app directory, click Mount R/W

4. Paste dialertabactivity.apk, overwrite the existing file and click Mount RO

5. Exit Root Explorer

Credits go to SyndicateXDA for this..
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Similar experience with V8 (same kernel and modem) :cool:

Running 14 hours unplugged, still at 55%. While a majority of that was idle time, there were times were I used wifi a lot, I spent almost 2 hours watching a 720p movie and another hour listening to music. I don't use ScreenFilter.

I wonder why ytt3r hasn't commented on what is going on yet. Is he still in school? :P

[Captivate Android Development] haojan:
Thanks for the post but I hope you can help me understand the difference between "self porting" Darky's I9000 ROM vs waiting for ytt3r the port.

I am interested to know, what is involved in ytt3r port besides the kernel and modem differences?

Is there a recommended program/method for checking difference between modems?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
So did you do all the Tweaks for Speedmod that are talked about in the Speedmod Thread? Also did you use the CWM version or other one?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] spector711:
Wow, thanks!

Would it mess anything up to install battery mods after this process?
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
I've been in school all day, and I've heard that everyone who flashed the rom experienced boot loops. I'm not sure what's up, I'm going to upload again later.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks so much for your Time and effort. I am having no problems with 7.8 but interested in seeing 8.0.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
For the guys using different Kernels are you using them for better battery life or for OC to get speed for games? I am an non gamer so speed not that big of deal but if different kernel really helps battery life I would be interested in changing Kernels.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
I don't know the exact differences other than the kernel and modem.. He may have added certain hacks like the camera hack which can be done seperately and he may have modded themes.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Nope.. it shouldn't mess anything up with battery mods!
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
If he hasnt added anything then it is just a bad upload, because I have darky 8 running just fine, all I did was install it and install xcals kernel. Nothing fancy at all.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Kernels

SpeedMod kernel actually helps with battery life!!! with those extra battery tweaks in Recovery! But always be sure to recalibrate and wipe battery stats for exceptional battery performance!
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Yes. I read about the tweaks and I m no expert but they made sense. I am on the I version. Had the best battery today. Loving it.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I don't like the idea of Oc/uv. I was fan of xcul's kernel as its stable and no Oc/uv. When speedmod kernel came i though to give it a try. Battery life is best and all tweaks And all. I m liking it.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I upgraded from 7.8. I replaced the zimage file and modem.bin file from the rom.zip. you can flash modem and kernel over rom . I would say always reboot becoz i do to be on safe side. I m using speedmod' s latest version I think "I". Ialso enabled all the tweaks going into recovery. I always have wifi on so I don't use data (3g) at all so I haven't tested it on data yet.
[Captivate Android Development] shane9b3:
Anyone know if we can get rid of the GT-I9000 on boot?

Sorry for the noob question, haven't found an answer anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I actually respectfully recommend replacing the modem and kernel and anything else you want to BEFORE flashing that way you get a clean one process install.

I have been doing that with all i9000 roms I have tested, replacing kernel, modem, GPS files from assonance and a few more things then flashing and so far I have a 100% success rate and if you know me...you know I flash a LOT :D
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am sure it posted somewhere but if you don't mind could you post how to make the changes to the ROM to replace the Kernel and Modem before the Flash.

Thanks so much
[Captivate Android Development] kraypuck91:
hey hows itgoing well i tried to puton 8.0 and now just stays at the galaxy s s screen not even the x loader. i have no backup on sd card like big idiot so is this phone totalled now should i be calling att idk what else to do please appreciate if someone could help
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Can you go into Download mode by holding down the two volume buttons and then inserting the USB cable?

To the other poster, I will be back to explain how to insert the files to the ROM if nobody beats me to it in a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] kraypuck91:
nope just keeps going into the recovery mode
[Captivate Android Development] mixxy:
so thats no problem. get an earlier version of the rom on the sd card via another method (adapter into comp) and flash that and you should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
I'm sure shaolin will reply similarly but just open the i9000 .zip file in winrar (that's just what I use, maybe 7-zip, winzip, etc will work too) and go into the updates folder. Delete zImage (kernel) and modem.bin (modem) then drag/drop in the replacements. Make sure the filenames match exactly. You can get the replacement zImage and modem.bin from any of the number of threads out there on that topic.

I also tend to swapout Email.apk, Gallery3D.apk and drop in GenieWidget.apk google news and weather). Can do what you like w/ the .zip. Remove any apks from /system/app or /data/app that you may not want to automatically install, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
-power phone down

-take out battery

-plug usb cable in

-hold volume buttons and insert battery

if that doesnt work try just volume down or up

some people that couldnt do it just plugging usb in with volume buttons were getting into download mode the way i explained above
[Captivate Android Development] kraypuck91:
igot it into the download mode plugged into odin but its staying on do not turn of target mode its not making anymore progress and can i do that other method with theexternal sd card i thought it has to be on the internal card

Followed the steps to word..and am now on v8..running very smooth..awsome..

Funny..its been an hour since i am playing with this and now i c an official v8 ROM published by Darky himself..Not sure..should i stay with this..or flash the official v8 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Greatminds:
Yummybar...make sure u went back to stock rom..did master reset b4 u flashed the custom rom. Usually we c the memory issues when we flash roms on top of each other with cleaning up previous ones...i am saying this from my personal experience.

Gud Luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Willis111:
You shouold run some benchmarks. I'll run some when I flash this in 2 minutes and repost results
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
i cant find any pics showing me anything about how this rom looks?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
YMMV depending on the modem it's showing that to be true more and more everywhere. Personally I don't "recommended" one particular to anyone because it may not perform as well for them but I am currently using the T959TLJL3 which has been the best for me in So. Cal. on at&t so far.

I think a lot has to to with production dates of devices.

Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?425l93a7xkejlm1

Rename it 'update.zip' and place it on the root of your internal memory card (if there is already an update.zip file there, rename it temporarily). Reboot into recovery and select 'apply sdcard:update.zip' (do NOT install from ROM manager or the 'install zip from sdcard' option in CWM). Reboot, and you should have the glass dialer.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
You do not have to delete the ones you are replaciong I suggest overwriting this insures that they are labeled the same, just make sure you click to "ask before" in your options. If you do not get a prompt then there's a problem and one of them not marked the same, you should get a prompt for every file you are replacing.

And I too also alter my rom pack, I don't like some of the things that are added and I like some things of my own so therefore I tweak it to my liking prior to flashing now.

It's been hard to find out exactly what you have to do or if you can "just" add your choice of "kernal" and bam your "Darky i9000" release will now work on your i897 at&t Captivate. The answer is YES! Just make sure that you flash a "kernal" that is specifically made for the Captivate so that your buttons and auto rotate function and everything that is different from the i9000 have been reoriented correctly.

Got it to work with these instructions. I just used another kernel (glitterballs'). Thanks a lot!

I'm running darky port 7.8 can I go straight to this v.8.0 or should I go back to stock and then go to 8.0.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
lol I hit the thanks button instead of the quote.

Anyway you can just flash over Darky's.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
double thanks.

i didn't install a diff modem, only the reorient-bln kernel. this solved the auto rotate issue i was having. however, my gsm data speeds where slow, and using sbsTools i saw i using the 1900 channel, and from what i understand it should be set to the 850 (which v7.8 was). my question, is the default gsm frequencies set by the kernel, the rom, or the modem?

[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
What a noob I am...

I have flashed these Darky roms about 5 times now (right on top of each other), and just now figured out that you can keep voodoo enabled by deleting the /sdcard/voodoo folder in the rom's zip file before flashing. I've been flashing, letting it disable my lagfix, and then going to recovery to enable voodoo. :o
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
How do you enable lagfix in this one?
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
Just rename the voodoo folder to anything else (voodoo-bak will work), then reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
Seems to be working for me. When is it closing?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Cool!

Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] gerc86:
I did a clean install and the gps problem persist. I had to go back to 7.0 from a system backup
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I can confirm the GPS problem as well. Might get some logs if they'll help anyone.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Has anyone went to Stock and Wipe before going to 7.5? If so are you having some of the problems being discussed?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Does anyone know if people are working on the gps fix? I noticed that there is a "gps" folder in data/gps in the rom that wasn't there in 7.0.2 so maybe that is the culprit? Might also have something to do with "Improved GPS [Fixed for Europe]" in the changelog. We really don't need this because we are all mostly in the U.S and don't need it. Maybe ytt3 you can take this off?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I did actually. Odin back to stock. Then I installed 7.5.

Other than a few FCs, and the GPS deal, this is a really awesome ROM. I'm checking out the battery though, seems to be draining faster....

edit:

Just in case, perhaps this might help us or the dev fix the GPS problem. Seems like a driver issue:

Same here, first installed over 7.0, i saw the gps problem and installed 7.5 over a stock rom
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Well I got my GPS working, but it wasn't a very glamorous procedure:

Main Issue: After flashing from stock (where I had no GPS issues [read: it still sucked compared to other phones, but I could obtain a lock, etc] I couldn't get a location or lock on Darky's 7.5 ROM at all. The GPS icon would blink three times and then it'd disappear.

What I tried: Updating these settings, clearing data and rebooting.

Result: No effect

Then I tried:

Yanking the /system/bin/gpsd from my JH7 stock build and

completely replacing

the contents in Darky's build with that from JH7. There were what looked to be several certificates in Darky's build that weren't needed. After this change the only files in this folder were:

glgps_samsungJupiter

supl_att_root.cer

supl_spirent_root.cer

I also replaced the jupiter.xml file from the /system/etc folder. Just copied the JH7 file using root explorer and wrote over the darky's version.

There were two files in the /system/lib folder that I did not touch; those were:

libsecgps.so

libgps.so

Result: Rebooted, ran google maps, tried to get location and the GPS icon did not go away after three blinks. Excitedly I ran the GPS Test app, ran outside, and stood there like an idiot for 5 minutes while it gradually found and locked on 10 satellites. The GPS icon stayed solid and I'm reasonably certain GPS will continue to work.

This is *not* a solid solution, as I totally bootstrapped files from an Eclair build to this custom froyo rom. But it's a temporary solution until the root cause can be identified and fixed in future releases.

-Matt
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Also, for those uninstalling the fonts, at first I couldn't find three of them, but they're named as such:

ChocoEUKor.apk

CoolEUKor.apk

RoseEUKor.apk
[Captivate Android Development] DarrellRaines:
I fixed GPS by doing this:

1) Open SGS Tools (NOT SGS Toolbox. The GPS menu wouldn't load for me in it)

2) Open GPS Fix at the bottom. (Default for me was europe.pool.ntp.org)

3) Use the drop down menu and select north-america.pool.ntp.org (stock)

4) Hit Apply

5) Open Secret Codes at the top

6) Find GPS-Test and settings(LBSTestMode) and open it.

7) Select Delete GPS Data

8) Perform a Get Position Test

9) Open up Maps application and it should lock on pretty quickly.

This worked for me. I am not promising anything.

To Fix the Fonts force closing:

1) Go to Settings

2) Select Applications

3) Uninstall all Helvetica Fonts

You should be able to select a new font now.

Let me know if any of these don't work for you.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Got another couple of question... heh.

I enabled Voodoo by renaming the Voodoo folder. But I noticed that CWM is still green. I come from Cognition and after the rom was installed, CWM was already in red (which I assume is the Voodoo enabled one)...

Any ideas?

[Captivate Android Development] DarrellRaines:
I guess I should also mention I am running the full I9000 version of Darky's from the I9000 forums with Excal's latest reoriented kernel and the UGJK4 modem.

Maybe it's a modem issue, or it could be busted in the actual ROM when it was ported over. Which modem version are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
Thanks for the info. Can't wait to flash
[Captivate Android Development] Redshryke:

[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
850 band MODEM

The frequencies supported are based on MODEM.. Only some modems have 850 band enabled (UGJK3, UGJK4, TLJL3) and some have then enabled but not set to default (UGJL2).

If you have a modem that supports the 850 band, do the following:

1. From dialer dial *#0011# to go to the service mode. It'll show you what band you are using on the third line.

2. If it is 850 band 5, you are good to go. Else go to Step 3.

3. From dialer, dial *#2263# to go to the service mode for Band Selection.

4. Select [2] WCDMA BAND[*] to go to the Service Mode of WCDMA Band.

5. Select [5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)[*] and Select it again.

6. That's it.. To Confirm Follow Step 1 again.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Is 850 faster than 1900? Mine is on 1900 now, but I know Rogers supports 850 as well. Would changing this be beneficial for me?

Also I thought the Gingerbread keyboard was in this ROM... what happened to that?

AND anyone notice that the automatic brightness only has two modes and the normal mode is really dim so the colors looks dull and the other mode is very bright? Why aren't there more than 2 modes and how can I edit this myself to have the light sensor change the brightness of the screen to more than just 2 levels. Right after the flash from 7.8 to 8.0 I noticed things looked pretty dull...

EDIT: Just ran quadrant for the first time... 1563! Blew the competition away. DANG!
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
nice, that worked. i installed the v8_BLN_voodooOn rom, and it also had the 1900 band defaulted. i would have expected it to be 850 like v7.8 was, and for being on ATT. i changed it to 850, and saw quite a few other settings. do i need to concern myself with those?
