Alright thanks so much so you havent been having the recent dropped calls issues other people have been having?

Also there is nothing to fix the battery drain at all because I heard from other forums the battery on here is supposed to be decent. But as I said earlier I have a 3,200 MaH I dont mind using but still annoying.

Thanks for the input
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Nope, no dropped calls with JL2. Best modem imo.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Is that the modem that comes with the ROM or do I have to change the modem. if so how do you change Modems and ****?

Also apparently speed mod kernel on here really helps battery whats your opinion on that? If I were to flash Speedmod do I just disable Voodoo, reboot phone, and you SGS Kernel Flasher to flash that Kernel or is it not worth it, cause battery is up and down for me as a need cause I can always plug it in at work, in the car or wherever I am
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
+1 been using it for a few weeks now, came from JL3 and I can swear I get at least 1 more bar than I did before :D
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
So is JL2 is what comes with Darkys or do I have to change that?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Get a CWM updatable zip in the first post here -

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Do i have to change anything with the phone or just flash the modem through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Turn off the phone and remove the SIM (otherwise you may lose the broadband). Reboot in recovery mode and flash JL2 modem CW zip file. Reboot. Turn off the phone and insert the SIM card. Reboot. Done
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
im on darky's rom with speedmod K12L kernel, and JL3 modem, i get 20+ hours of fairly heavy usage and no call drops, no FC's no reboots. phone runs like it should out of the box

if it makes any difference i flashed darkys rom not this port. flashed rom, flashed kernel, flashed modem
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
update.ugjl2.modem.zip

So thats the one I want?

And thanks so much man I Really appreciate it.

Hows the battery life for you on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I couldn't find any difference in battery life between JL3 and JL2 modems so I picked JL2 because I also get 1 extra bar with it :)

Did you by any chances install the "Wifi battery drain fix"? I don't think is included in Darky's rom. Or is it?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I am running 8.0 (dont need 8.0.1 personally as I applied the 2 fixes myself) and I have never had a force close, never had a restart, never had a dropped call and my battery lasts 3 FULL days with moderate use and 2 days on heavy use. I am running a new 1010 Captivate in Canada though so that may have to do with something as I have not experienced any of the problems others have with wifi drain and such.

What I did was bump charge my battery to 100 percent then wiped the battery stats in recovery and fully drained it once then fully charged it again and that is it!

GREAT TIMES and I get ~1600 in quadrant if you care.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Yeah that's the file you need.

I get 8-9hrs of battery before it drops to 15-10%. I typically use the GPS 30-40 mins. wifi all day, full sync. 40-50 mins of display on at minimum.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
How long have you been running it
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thats actually pretty heavy usage compared to me I dont use Wifi or GPS at all, I text, twitter, facebook, and a little internet periodocally throughout out the day and i get home after 13 hours with about 15% should i be expecting more or less with Darkys?
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
i lost 3% overnight, while in sleep mode for ~9hrs (gps and wifi disabled). i did uninstall 'spare parts', which seemed to improve this, though that's not definitive.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
nope i dont use wifi, i have a computer for that LOL

so wifi is always OFF and set to off everything.

never ever see anything to do with wifi under battery usage
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I installed the ROM I LOVE IT!

But the Gingerbread Keyboard is force closing over and over again do yall know what to do?

And not a huge deal but any way to fix haptic feedback?

UPDATE: GINGERBREAD Keyboard working.

Anything on haptic not a huge deal
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
I fixed haptics, but its so small of an issue that I decided not to release an update considering that people still odin stock before a flash its a big undertaking for a small change.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Oh thats understandable but im planning on staying with Darkys for a while when updates come out like the future one involving the haptic feedback can I just continue to flash over the previous version? Or do I have to flash back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
i havent flashed back to stock or wiped since 7.5

never have any problems, but i ALWAYS do a TB of my apps before each flash and a backup in recovery. never know when something could go wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Fantastic just flashed Darkys 8 and I freaking love it, so fast and everything just works...

I already made my backup and I will continue to for each upgrade and Apps as well.

Thanks for everyone with their help
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Since the day 8.0 came out.... can't remember.

I just flash right over and clear my cache/dalvik cache, but NOT data so I keep all of my settings and apps - I have done that 3 times and have not run into a problem (7.7 -> 7.8 -> 8.0). Also you have to redo the gps steps in sgs tools, but that takes like 5 seconds.

I find it funny that people Odin stock before flash. I flashed Cognition on from stock and didn't like it so much, so I flashed your port of Darky over it just clearing cache and data and I have had zero problems. I have also flashed each version over the other and have never had an issue. Seems like people go to lengths for nothing to me.
[Captivate Android Development] Hydro360:
very friggin nice

love this one smooth gonna let it sit for a bit. like the look and feel and id love to play with 2.3.1 already a very happy with it

Video recording is not working

hello ALL>

Does anybody has a problem with video recording option? mine camera is working fine in photo mode but foreclosed every time during switching into video rec,

thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] emcdonald75:
Love Darky Rom but I have a few problems

I love the Darky Rom, but I have discovered the cause of the rapid battery drain. It is the WIFI. I turned HSDPA off, and that didnt help. The drain stopped once I turned WIFI off. Is it the kernel, and if so, how do I change it? Also the gingerbread keyboard still force closes once you activate it.

Will a new rom be released soon?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I am still having the gingerbread issues however for now I downloaded another gingerbread keyboard online. Other than that this ROM is fantastic.

With the minor gingerbread keyboard issue and VERY minor haptic home I plan on staying with this ROM for a really long time.

I just have a question if I make a nandroid back up of this ROM. And I had a problem flashing and upgrade could I easily just restore the nandroid backup?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
When you on the Wifi Section of Settings push the Bottom left button on the Phone(I think it referred to as Preference button) You get two options, Scan and Advanced, hit advanced and you will see WiFi Sleep Policy Option Open it and set.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have Posted the below question on a few Forums but I never saw an answer(but I might have over looked):

"I saw this in a post about Battery drain and a "WiFi Bug" on JPY based ROMs and I think Darky's is JPY.

Fix #3: Use an updated Kernel, either hardcore's or trasig's and apply the wifi-fix (wifi-driver from JPA): update-wifi-dxjpa.zip

I was trying to read though some of the Darky Change logs and didn't see anything about WiFi bug does anyone know if this is something that should be done or does this even apply to Darky's ROM?"

So there might be a WiFi bug but I don't know for sure. I have changed my Kernel to Speedmod and that has helped my Battery and I set my WiFi Sleep Policy to turn off WiFi when screen is off and that has helped.

Here is battery article:

[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Just a quick question (and I'm sure I probably sound like a major noob but I am lol :P) would I9000 themes built for the original darky ROM work for this since its a port?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Yes, the answer is yes. (I had to make my post longer)
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
just tested, and no problems at all.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
i've read others using this option, but i can not find it anywhere in the android settings. the only 'screen off ' wifi policy i have is with 'juice defender'. where are you finding this option?
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
ha, how about that. and just when i thought i was intimately familiar with this os.

thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
Press the menu button while you are in the screen that shows all of the wireless networks. Advanced is listed there on the right.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey when upgrading to any newer versions of Darkys do I have to disable my lag fix first before flashing over the new version?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
If the Lagfix is the one that comes with Darky's then No. But if you using a Lagfix from different Kernel like I do with Speedmod Kernel then Yes I would disable to be on safe side.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I like voodoo stable and I'm not going to change anything with the kernels or modems and this is the first time I've ever flashed Darkys and plan to stay with them for a while cause of how amazing this has been.

So when updates come out since I'm keeping voodoo and all that the same as it was I just flash through CWM and don't need to wipe?

Thanks in advance man
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
That is how I have always done it when I had Voodoo going I just Flashed though Rom Manager with NO Wipe. Now the next time I update Darky's I will disable the Lagfix I am using with Speedmod Kernel before I flash. Not really sure if I need to do it this way but I always going with the Safest route in this case.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya so just flashing over versions isn't bad is that correct? I am extremely excited that I'm using this ROM now I made the right choice. As I am going to be staying with this for a while.

And I have a question if I were to have a problem when I update do I just wipe data and cache and reflash thru CWM again. and since I made a nandroid backup of v8 could I always go back to that if I stay with Darkys?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Finally last noob question sorry for bothering but when I update do I get the download from this forum or the I9000 forum.

Also is the link that come with this forum Wipe or a no wipe download?

I'm just confused as to where I should get the future Darkys updates from.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
If you Flash and Don't Wipe and something not to your liking then Yes just go though the same process as before but check the Wipe Options before you start Flash. Though I have always made a Backup of my ROMs I have never tried to restore one of them. There should be No problem but I'll let someone else fully answer that question since I have never done it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Perfect and can you answer about the where to download please
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Download the ROM? Go to 1st page of this Thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
So not from the i9000 thread?

And.is it a wipe or no wipe version
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
No use this one. You can use the i9000 one but you have to change some things yourself. The one here has already done that.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
So the ROM that will be on this thread is it a wipe or a no wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] sbhatcher:
Okay, now that Swype is fixed I'm giving 8 a try, and so far so good. My only problem now is that whenever I try and open a picture imbedded in a text message the MMS program FC's. Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
i'm unable to get this setting to work. i've tried uninstalling 'juice defender', rebooting, and wiping dalvik cache, etc... the only way i can get the wifi disabled upon screen off, is with 'juice defender'. another thing, wifi often fails to establish a connection when brought out of sleep (screen on). it fails a few times, then either establishes it on its own, or because i keep manually enabling wifi. this is true even though i've set it with a static ip. anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] sbhatcher:
It's a no wipe, but depending on what version of what ROM you're currently running you may want to wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I am running v8 but when a new version comes out I heard all you do is just do a nandroid back up and flash over. And if you have problems just wipe data and cache and reflash thru CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] micro2112:
success. thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Why? Does it really matter? As long as the kernel with the rom and the one that's going to swap it out all support voodoo5 (which all popular kernels do) there shouldn't be a need to disable it.

Of course always backup before flashing just in case... :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright so I just dont want to F*** up when an upgrade comes out.

So lets say v9 came out tomorrow just hypothetically I just click the ROM that is on the OP of this page (its a no-wipe correct?) and put on root of SD Card.

Back up Apps and make a nandroid backup just in case.

And I dont have to wide data and cache in CWM before I flash or do I?

And if I were to just not wipe data and flash the new version of Darkys over and there was a problem with the ROM would I first try to wipe before I reinstall the next time. and if thats not working just restore my nandroid back up?

Thanks and anyone who will answer this and just reassure my worries will be my hero and GREATLY APPRECIATED

I have original samsung i9010 (armani)

can I flash this firmware?
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You have the Armani Captivate? I'd be very careful. You can flash this ROM, but others are a no go because they flash the Sbl.bin which isn't compatible.

yes

I have speedmod k12j on v8.0 I enabled all the tweaks but my phone is lagging/jumpy and not smooth as it was before.

Can the tweaks applied,(the first 4) be undone?

If this does`nt help my lagging I was thinking of flashing the kernel that came with 8.0, could this be done by doing the no-wipe version of 8.0?

I`ve read loads of posts ad I cant seem to find a solution, thanks.

I did a clean installation from stock 2.1 . Few things to note . Home hepatic feedback doesn't work . GPS is not that great , I can't figure out how to turn off the light notification?! I really don't want it to drain my battery . Anyone knows to turn it off ?. And I was thinking the keyboard is themed in v8 ?!! Oh and I really miss that glass dialer :( , in general its a fast and responsive rom . Thanks for all the hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] xarekusu:
lag fix question

I installed 8.0.1 and it's working fine

I just want to know if I ever want to reinstall 8.0.1 or upgrade version I just need to "apply any zip" from clockworkmod?

Do I need to disable lag fix before I install new firmware?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The hepatic feedback has never worked for Home on any Custom ROMs however I read I think some has figured it out on another ROM so that will eventually be corrected. Have you done the Delete GPS Stats and require fix though SGS Tools, my GPS does fine. Re set Wifi Sleep Policy to Sleep when Screen Off that helps battery.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Though I never really used or tried Voice Dialer I thought I would test this morning and it didn't work. Since I am using Speedmod Kernel do I need to change my Modem from TLJ3 to something else? If so what is a recommended Modem that works well with Darky's and Captivate? Now this maybe all operator error because I have never setup anything on Contacts to tell it to use Voice Dialer. Is there something I need to do?

Thanks

Flashed this rom coming from Serendipity. Flashed to stock first. The only problem I am experiencing is a force close after starting bluetooth every time. It gives me the error: The app OPP (processcom.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I dismiss the error box and bluetooth is still up and works. Is there a way to fix the error?
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
lmao, it wasn't you I was originally talking about, but yeah I throw you in the mix only leaves me with one guess :p

I don't use the hepatic, but mine works on long key hold for home and for everything that I have turned it off for or if there was an option to enable it on anyway.

Download BLN (Back Light Notification) free app to disable your lights if you want to have the app do it for you it's very easy that way.

Try a different modem, read up on your area where you live if you can find some information as to who is using what set up in your geographic area.

To me that voice dialer is **** compared to googles "voice search". I had issues once in awhile with it when I first started using it but the root of the problems were pilot error as I found myself engaging in moronic methods to try to fix something that wasn't broken. Basically I was talking to my phone in abnormal ways or speech or was chewing gum at the same time. In the end I found that if I talked in a "normal" voice and into the mouthpiece as if I was having a normal civil conversation it works incredible well. It's when I don't to the above mentioned that sentences I'm sending while in text mode come out completely bassackwards or I get server errors. I wasn't a believer in the beginning especially when I was the youtube video on how well the new google VS worked but now I swear by it and it's keeps improving with each update.

Now, Call RonH54....You see how easy that was it's ringing now answer. :D

And btw I'm using speedmod K 500 and the TLJ3 modem as well as a whole smorgasbord of tweaks and mods to the point that I've completely repacked my rom with everything that I like from different roms I've used myself. It was frustrating for me having so many changes in versions just when I found something I liked it would get dumped from the updated rom so I finally figured the best way to handle this is to put together a rom that has everything I want so I did and I am pleased with the results so far.

I've reworked mine so much now that it's almost getting tough remembering where I got what from on some of the things but for the the most part I give credit and thanks to Darky,Hardcore,Cognition,CyanogenMod,Designgears, MikeyMike01,Perception,ytt3r cause without them I wouldn't have my current set-up on my 100% working sexy ass iPhone killer. ;)

Cheers,
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
should haptic feedback occur every time the home key is hit? it occurs on mine when the home key is long pressed, and i don't remember how it functioned before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
are you aware of any issues with multiple flashes, such as memory degradation, corrupted ram sectors, or such?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the replies concerning "Voice Dialer" and like it was mentioned "Voice Search" seems to work perfectly. I did find a Free app called "Vlingo" that seems to work Great as a Voice Dialer. Though I doubt I ever use Voice Dialing at least I know I can if I want to.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Not that I am aware of, however I look at it this way that my phone is a mini computer running Linux and like a computer the more things we do to it, the more intense we run it and the more we abuse or simply use our devices beyond what they are intended for, the more apt we are to incur problems do to degraded hardware. I know that an overclocked pc that you hammer on a daily basis has a far higher percentage chance of some sort of hardware failure than a stock one with the same hard and software configurations under normal use.

Plain answer do I think I have degraded my device? NO! If in fact there has been any sort of damage or hardware degradation tbh at this point I can not tell because my phone is working far better than it ever was when it was stock. That I can say with confidence is 100% true.

EDIT: Just a quick note, if you plan on trying or flashing numerous roms, installing and uninstalling tons of apps or playing with your device you have to be able to accept the fact that the next flash may be your last one. If you aren't willing to do that then get a second device for your experimenting and tinkering or go to the Android Developers site and download and install the android SDK and start using the device emulator for your testing. As I've stated before that I myself know that the next flash could turn my Cappy into a $500 paperweight, I'm ok with that so therefore I continue.

help please

great rom. gps is awesome.

sorry for any noob questions. can anyone help with a couple things. i flashed the 8.0.1 rom twice. the last time i did the wipe.

1. Media Player USB settings are not working. Windows7 is no longer asking me which program to sync with my phone when I plug it in in media mode. I can't synch with Amazon DRM movies anymore. Any suggestions?

2. Wondering if I can use the axura animations that you released with darky 7 with 8.0.1.

Thanks!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Go into USB Connection type and check "Ask on connection" it may have changed during your flash. I noticed that mine occasionally would change from mass storage which I use to Kies or Ask on connection sometimes. Why I have no clue but it has done so.

Settings>>Wireless and network>>USB Settings>>Ask on connection
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Got a few general questions? When I Flash a different Modem and or Kernel do I need to Redo the GPS "Delete data" and "Get Position"? Also it seems the 2 main Modems for Darky based ROM use are the JL3 and the JK4 are there Big differences in the two? Also I had applied the WiFi DXJPA before I Flashed new Speedmod ROM Version and Changed Modem,do I need to redo the WiFi DXJPA ?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
Ron I think it's self explanatory, does your GPS work the same as before? If it was working prior to your satisfaction and it's working as it was prior to your change then I would say NO, why do the GPA fix? If it's borked then YES of course. Now in all honesty it takes literally about 1 minute to actually do the GPS fix so why not just do it to be on the safe side. As far as modems and WiFi fix I flashed my TLJ Modem and then flashed the WiFi fix and have yet to change anything on my set-up that I would have to ask myself that same question so I can't help ya there bro.

EDIT: I see you flashed the modem after you had already done it once. I think unless the new kernal you flashed has anything that corrected previous issues you may want to once again apply the fix.
