[Captivate Android Development] iNFRiNGE:
That sounds exactly like the same method I would use. :p But one thing of major importance that people fail to understand with smartphones is the charging system is "smart" also. I will hunt down the actual lab tests that show that our batteries and charge indicators are acting "correctly" when we charge them to 100% and then unplug and it drops to like 92%-94% or something in that range immediately or quick is actually fine and your battery should from that point drop according to use etc. If it drains fast from that point you may have an issue. I forgot to mention that back when I posted the bump method I use sorry. :p

I don't think he's abandoning anything I think somebody else will handle the porting though since he is part of a team who now releases their own custom rom specifically for Captivates which imo for the first one rocks. If he does still port it I would imagine it would not be priority over komins. But who knows I've seen weirder S^$% happen.

Whats going to be insane the amount of "big changes" or the disaster this 9.0 transition is causing me or some people? :eek:

I actually thought the "Full of Bugs" was a joke from ytt3r in the OP.So for the first time in awhile I downloaded this to see what miracles had been released. It's no joke this thing has more problems than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Pfft! for something that is supposed to be the newest super duper shizzbling I am disappointed to say the least. And before anyone panties get ruffled over that statement I fully understand that all these are still beta type roms or experimental and we are the testers,sheep,addicts or whatever who can't wait for the next "big improvement" to be released. What is disgruntling to me is wth aren't there accurate or concrete things posted regarding what or why things need to be done?

What exactly does the "Captivate-Fix" actually fix?

If it only changes the "build.prop" file to read SGH-I897 rather than I9000 does it need to be done if a person has modified their build.props file to read I897 already? I've edited mine ages ago and I get the apps that I am supposed to for a SGH-I897 rather than apps for an I9000. I'm a beta tester for Swype and the Swype installer will install a different version keyboard if I use the I9000 info. I verified this myself by using an untouched Darky build.prop and letting Swype tell me what keyboard I needed and install it. The beta version I got had no voice activation option listed or on the board itself. I then altered my build.prop to show me on a SGH-I897 I relaunched my Swype installer and it informed me that the version of Swype I was using was the wrong one for my device and downloaded the correct one. TA DAH! Different keyboard with voice to type options.

Same goes for the Market. I have apps that I have paid for and if I don't have the same build.prop info when I go to do updates I get notices for using pirated apps for some of the ones I paid for lol all i do is uninstall and re download the paid one and all is fine. But still a pain in the arse. I pretty much know what I am doing with the Cappy's everything from soft-bricking to repacking my own 100% functional ROM and am more than willing to help out around here which most guys here know.

It's just aggravates me when things aren't what they say they are or that no precise directions or explanations given to help eliminate problems from happening in the first place. ytt3r changed a lot of that after I ranted about releasing stuff without testing it first not sure if that's the reason maybe it was ironic but his releases following that where actually a step forward not 3 steps back. Call it a rant if you want but it's justified and if the New Improved Darky Team is to prevail over other options it's probably a good idea to actually improve the actual functionality of the ROM itself and not the boot and shut down graphics.

I love this S%# but please let's get things together so those that want to help out here actually do want to continue to help out here.

You can look through this entire thread and see the one's that are providing the technical support for your ROM is us, so one way or another we're all on the same team here I think.

Same S%$^ happens to me usually when I remove my sim and install it after I do some mad flashing. Usually a reboot helps but something's wrong if it happens a while after you have reinstalled it. Possibly your sim card may be getting loose after all the messing around with the holder or the card is thinning out itself. This happened on another phone I had that was completely stock and I fixed it by adding a folded piece of paper between the back cover and the sim card adding pressure to the card. I used to swap my card between two phones a lot and the sims wear out or thin down with the in and out and if you are not careful with the contact parts of the card you are asking for trouble.

Just a suggestion Ron as you know I try to help you as much as possible is start backing ALL of your info from your sim card up now in the event you do need a new sim card someday I learned the hard way many moons ago when a card finally would no longer work because of the abuse. Remember the "average" user should never have to remove their sim card unless they are changing to a new device which is normally every year and a half to two years. I've removed and installed mine enough if I were changing devices over a hundred years in the past 3 months and I'm sure you have also.:D

BEFORE YOU DO THE FOLLOWING MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS AND CAN CONNECT TO ODIN NOW!! AND REMEMBER DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

But I don't see this being a problem for you.

Copy the entire drive EVERYTHING from your phone to your PC into one folder.

Wipe and/or Format your SD so there's nothing on it so it's clean.

Use Odin and master wipe your phone and flash to stock

Root your phone and flash to Darky 8.1

Follow the directions in the OP regarding this ROM without the flashing back parts since you will already be at that point. Start at the Apply Captivate-Fix whatever that thing is portion.

Whatever you need to use from you old set up you can start bringing over. Unfortunately it is sometimes best to say F%$% it! And start from scratch.

Sounds like a corrupted download of your ROM. Download another copy to your PC and then push it over to your SD via USB. Make sure you DELETE the first copy before you push the new one over and then flash away young jedi. You may have to reboot into download mode.

I believe that they should state in the OP wth it "actually" is and does. :p

Sorry if I ruffled anyone feathers but I love this damn stuff as much as the next guy but sometimes most problems can be avoided in the first place with a little extra time and effort.

EDIT: Struck out remarks above as seen and have to apologize as it may not be as fubarred as I stated therefore it is not justified. However there definitely are some problems still.
