I ODIN'd to stock rogers 2.2 and then applied the captivate update then installed the 9.0.2 which still did not install the right kernel and modem even with the captivate fix. I rebooted into recovery and flashed the speedmod kernel and my favorite modem and now everything seems to be working perfectly. I will try out some GPS today, but from last night ans over night the battery life seems to be great and the ROM is very smooth and responsive considering I did not enable the lagfix options yet.

There is hope, but it took me hours to figure out NEVER to flash the ROM twice or it will be a jumble of mess. Go to stock and flash it once and then get on your kernel and modem of choice and you should be good.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Glad to hear you got phone going. I had been following your "adventures" because I too had the exact same "Error and Abort" problem. I just went back to 8.1 and trying to decide if I want to try again. The interesting thing to me in all this is the "Darky App". It seems to be since there an option for the Kernel you want and you have to choose one that a i9000 Kernel is always going to be installed. Does this ROM have both versions of a Kernel in it and the ROM is suppose to see you have Captivate(after fix) and install correct one? I don't think it doing that at least not all the time.(IMO)

I think what you're trying to say is that gaming on the phone is a definite use case for a kernel that overclocks the CPU. Makes sense - Other than an occasional game of Angry Birds :) I use my phone for work email and Internet (no flash) browsing.
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
was using ginger clone v5 for along time decided to try this, odin to stock, flashed 7.5 then booted, rebooted to recovery flashed xcal's kernel with voodoo, today my battery life is amazing! 8 hour day and its only down to 60% left with heavy usage.

im super impressed with the speed aswell as battery life!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I completely understand and I agree not everyone needs to overclock it all depends on what you need our phone to do. I wish mine could go faster for the psx4 emu but it would probably explode before going much faster! :)
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
for that use...its not necessary...but i would recommend undervolting it though
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I haven't enabled lagfix on 7.01. If I do try the setiron each time I reflash ROM with any updated Darky's I would have to re flash the setiron,correct?
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I still can't get the stock navigation to pick up my location. I applied to fix javvaji mentioned and I can pick up 8 or 9 sats with GPS Status app and SGS Tools, but nothing with navigation. Any ideas/guidance on this?
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Must say...very pleased now that:

1- JL3 modem is installed

2- GPS settings fixed

3- R64 theme in installed

4- Fonts uninstalled

I did not flash JM9 to improve GPS. The JL3 modem improved them along with these settings. Please note these are not the ones I posted earlier, as those were rubbish.

Some screenshots:

Now I just need some black dialer/contacts screens and I'll be all set. For a little while. The large font size is already starting to bug me. :)

Thanks for everyone's help! This is a great forum!
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. What kernel are you using (flashable with CWM?) What are your undervolts settings?

Do you have any charging death?

Also, a few general questions. Can I replace the dialer so it doesn't show me the Video call option?

Is there a way to change the green colors? I think I liked the stock blue better.

Oh and... When I had cognition and an ad was blocked, I'd just get the spinning circle. Now I get a chunk of whitespace. In all honesty I'd rather see ads than seeing that white block. Is there any way to fix this or how can I enable ads again? (bandwidth costs are of no concern atm)

I have the same issue with the GPS as well.

+1 - Just got around to testing this. Only the internal SD is mounted as a drive in Windows.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I notice when the Phone boots up and does it "Media Scanning" in the Notication Bar it shows "scanning External SD Card". I can go to Root explorer and it shows External SD Card but no files listed there. It only a 4 gig card and I don't think I got much on it.

[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
External drive

Same here. I get a map to the internal card but not the external. If I navigate to the internal card, I see the external card as a folder (just like what I see when I use Root Explorer on the phone). If I open the folder, there is nothing in it. Being concerned that I lost my data on the card, I flashed back to stock and changed to a different ROM and all my data is still there.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Too many mixed results from people for me to chance another clean install. I'll wait until its been confirmed to work with most people before I try 9.0.2. I really want to flash it though.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Same here. I would like too see some Test results(Linpack,NeoCore,Nenamark) from 9.0 and see how they look vs 8.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I have lagfix enabled on data. Just run Linpack and got 13.944. I don't see why the results should change from Darky's 8.1 to 9.0. Linpack is just a floating point CPU benchmark. It should be affected only by OC.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
None of these will be apples-to-apples comparisons due to the lack of a control in the testing method. When I ran Linpack I did so without any running Applications (per froyo task manager) with the exception of Launcher Pro. I didn't have live wallpapers running, either.

With Quadrant and SmartBench2010, my scores are all over the map and that annoys me. Linpack is reasonably consistent but as you stated it's running a pretty narrow test so perhaps it's not the best overall benchmark to use.

Also, and I think this is an important point, a rom to me always feels super-fast when it's new or just-flashed [over], making the much-ballyhooed 'it's x times faster than its predecessor' somewhat of a slanted statement. It's not until a week in of heavy usage that it really shows strengths and weaknesses. For example:

1) How is the lag when you long-press the home screen to add a widget? How much faster does it complete the task once the initial process has been cached?

2) Since we rely heavily on the back button, how snappy is the in-application performance when you're 7-8 levels "into" the app and you constantly hit the back button to go up a level? Does the app hang or FC?

3) How snappy is the Gallery a week after - or a month after and how efficiently is it using the thumbnails it seems to be forever building? Can you immediately take a photo and have it appear in the Gallery or do you have to refresh it?

4) How is the web-browsing experience?

5) Do Applications remember settings properly?

6) How quickly does the GPS lock and track?

7) How is the battery life after spending way too much of your time recalibrating the battery for the twentieth time this month?

and so on...lots of these things will play out as the week carries on, and it's somewhat alarming to me that there are a lot of issues to iron out with 9.x despite it promise of being a ...revolution. I have full faith that they'll be addressed, but I learned from the past and will wait a little longer before flashing this time :)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"How is the Lax when you long-press the home screen to add a widget? How much faster does it complete the task once the initial process has been cached?"

The process does speed up once it cached. The Widget options seem to popup almost immediately. On the Shortcut to Applications the 1st time it takes over a minute but after cache it does it in about 15-20 seconds. I hadn't really thought about the speed after Cache. I can live with the Speeds I get without Lagfix.

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
It takes over a minute? Wow, that's a long time to wait. Again, I suppose it depends how many applications you have. I've got 44 installed and that action of long press home screen -> Shortcuts -> Applications <WAIT TIME> is about 15 seconds the first time, 6 the second time and it's pretty-much instant after that.

^Is that an example of ROM speed based on file system performance? Or is that more processor-driven?
[Captivate Android Development] weenrock:
How to clean flash

I noticed that the OP said I can just flash via rom manager. but the OP also noted that if there are problems such as not being able to make calls to wipe data and cache. Does this mean to go to wipe all data and flash 2.1 or factory reset?

Also, I don't know what Kernel I have. I flashed Cognition 3.02 and it never said if it had a kernel with it, but it did flash voodoo lag fix.

I am assuming Darky's comes with a kernel if I flash from scratch?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
It says in their notes somewhere that if you use the captivate fix it will install speedmod for captivate, but that didn't work for me. Not a huge deal though as I just went into recovery and got my kernel and modem on myself. Everything seems to be fine now. Obviously did the obligitory change gps pool to n america and delete gps data.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Never flash with ROM Manager if your current setup includes a lagfix. The app may send you into the wrong (non-ext4-aware) recovery.

The Red Clockwork built into the Voodoo kernel will work, however. Use the power button menu (reboot to recovery) to get into it.
[Captivate Android Development] weenrock:
I figured I would have to disable lagfix. But will it keep my current kernel? I figured any kernel that comes with the rom is the best to use with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Update on what's going on with me. 9.0 was working perfectly for two days.

then went into a boot loop with just turning on completely then turning off. This is the 3rd time I've gotten it to work then it messed up.

Back to 8.1 which I don't really care j need stable during the week. But 8.1 with newest speedmod is still sexy : D.

No worries though whether its 9.5 or 10 that'll come out next ill still be anxious to try it.
[Captivate Android Development] weenrock:
also, what are you referencing to. I am a noob at this so you will have to explain a few things to me. "Red Clockwork built into the Voodoo kernel" what is that.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I updated to Speedmod kernel K12Q-T7.

Guys this is the fastest Darky's rom ever. Even with 300 apps installed the cell is just more responsive. Almost zero lag when digging hard into apps. The home screen button pops up the menu almost instantaneously. GPS/Data/Voice performance is the same as 8.1 (which for me were already great). Really an impressive job from Darky's team.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Ok.. I see the 9.02 for Captivate now listed on 1st page here. Here are instructions:

>> Use the DarkyROM Configurator in the Market

>> to customize the ROM

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>> If you encounter any issues, reflash the ROM!

>> Best Practice:

>>

>> 1. Flash 8.0 WIPE Darkys_v8.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Wipe.zip

>> 2. After first successful boot, reboot into recovery and enable lagfix (system lagfix also) and reboot the phone back to enable the lagfix

>> 3. After successfully enabling the lagfix, go to Market and get DarkyRom app

>> 4. Select to WIPE the phone, plus any other option you want

>> 5. Reboot into recovery and flash Darky's 9.0.2 or later

My question is, so we can try just Customizing the ROM and then Flash and if it fails go to 2nd part of Instructions. Or should we go back and get 8.0 Darky's Wipe and start fresh from the Start? If going to 8.0 1st is the way to go where can I find this 8.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Wipe.zip file?

Thanks

EDIT: I assume this 8.0 Darky's is the True i9000 Darky ROM. I found that one on Darky's website.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Has the video call references been removed from this rom, making it more captivate-like?

Captivate fix

Here's the captivate fix for Darkyy 9.0.2
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Just did it and it worked perfectly for me:

1. Flash back to 8.0 or 8.1 (WIPE IN CWM)

2. Flash the captivate fix above.

3. Check if your settings says your Build Model is the i897.

4. (if it is from step 3) Then download the Darkyy App from the Market and configure the settings you want.

5. SELECT WIPE on the app.

6. TURN ON YOUR LAG FIX THRU CWM (i.e. <speedmod settings> <lagfix> <enable lag fix-->convert data to EXT4)

6.5 Reboot

7. After you booted after the lag fix installed reboot into recovery again and DO NOT WIPE IN CWM thats what the App will do for you.

8. Install 9.0.2 from CWM, and you'll be good to go.

Hope that helped.

ya those are the instructions that Ficeto told me will work best.

But ya worked perfectly for me and just made it more clear for everyone else.

[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
So you don't have to use the Wipe 8.0 Gingerbread found on Darky's Site? You can use a Ported 8.0 or 8.1 as long as you WIPE before Flash?
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
why so much crazyness just to use a rom? why can't I just flash to stock then flash the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
So it seems you can't use a Captivate Ported Version of Darky's 8.0 or 8.1 it has to be a True i9000 ROM....Correct?

Tried doing it your way, got an awesome boot loop. Cant I just flash to stock and then update to this rom?

[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
I followed all the absurd instruction and I get what appears to be random reboots. It goes to the nexus boot animation and then back to the lock screen.

What a horrible waste of time, this thread should be locked. Back to MikeyMikes roms....

im trying again... but ya, that happened to me the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] psufan5:
This time I completely wiped to stock, master cleared, installed Darkyy 8.1... and following these directions... we shall see what happens in about 4 minutes :p
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I just got that too I dont know what to do it was working perfectly for a couple of days now I get those exact same things happening to me. I flashed back to 8.1 planning on staying there until 9.1 comes out.

Sorry but this "ultra stable" ROM is horrible right now. : (
[Captivate Android Development] psufan5:
Lock this post or remove the rom - its busted. I did everything from a clean install on, and still the same reboot results.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I have to agree with you those instructions were the exact instructions from the guy that wrote this script for this.

I get it to work for a day or two and then I get into a boot where I get the lockscreen, then power off over and over again.

I flashed back to 8.1 cause I love Darkyy's ROMs and going back to stock will just make me angrier.

I guess we just wait for 9.1--The NEWER Revolution

I know this is not the right place, but Odin does not recognize my phone when I try to do Master Clear. What should I do to in order to do Master Clear?

[Captivate Android Development] psufan5:
Run master clear when the phone is booted, not in download mode. Put it in debug mode, then open Odin and run it.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So it looks like you have to wipe your data to get it to work even though the idea was that you didn't have to if you were on Darky? I'll wait until people stop having so many problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
I wiped and still totally useless.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I wiped with the app was working perfectly. Then 1 hour after I reflashed had the same issue where it turned off. I think the whole "extreme beta testing" was nothing more than just changing some UI and calling it an RC (x).

This is the first time in my Darkyy career i have been dissatisfied with what the produced. But the good thing is about a ROM that is so stable and so great is that I can flash back to 8.1 and be perfectly content.

Waiting for 9.1.

Go Darkyy
