Any plans for an update soon?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
That's an awsom function. Yesterday I was talking to my wife in a "dead zone" that i was always haunted by. Well same thing happened and just as I was ready to hang up I herd her voice and realized the connection cleared up. I now had 3 bars! I do realize the battery is not as great as it was but there has to be trade off. I HATE, HATE did I mention HATE, dropped calls. So far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
v6.3 is only a couple weeks or less old!

Did you flash the update or the full ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
So far, KC1 has been pretty good to me!! Can't say much about battery yet, but no dropped calls, and the phone is definitely more responsive and fast when opening the browser and apps with heavy data usage :D

I'm going to give this modem a try, I changed to XXJQ1 yesterday and it was great at work and all but i had zero bars at home ( live real close to the bay here and it's many many miles across water to the closest tower. ) Behind my house is the whole city but its very hilly and I esentially live completely in the blind spot of Tacoma's towers. I just looked on google maps and the Des Moines tower is pretty much direct line of site and 15-20mi away. Hopefully a different modem will work better.

I'm not sure on the standard launcher, but in Launcher pro - settings -> appearance settings -> uncheck "home button on app drawer. You may look for a similiar option.

I live in the mountains of Maryland does anyone know what the best modem is?
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Agreed. I've always used jk4 but decided to try KC1 when dude just posted it and yeah its a lot snappier, haven't noticed any difference in battery life either.

I recommend trying the KC1 modem if you haven't yet.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
TiBu

For all using TiBu

"It has been decided, LegenDroid is closing down officially. This will be the last e-mail you will receive from us. It will be very much appreciated if you read this e-mail once.

What is actually going to happen is that LegenDroid will be rebranded to Titanium Track. This time, we will provide full and proper support for Titanium Track products. These include (but not limited to) Titanium Backup, Titanium Media Sync and other future application releases for the Android platform"

Modem

What are the benefits of the KC1 modem and how do you flash it with clockwork
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Non issue issues:

after linking ringer+notifications, if you reopen that menu and press cancel it clears the check box for linking volume.

Long press a contact, it says "Add to Favourites" instead of "favorites"

Feature request? Increasing wifi scanning time from default 3-5 seconds to 30?

Nothing major, just thought it could be something to do for your current rom while we wait for gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
For me it had faster upload/download speeds and seems to be clearer on calls and bluetooth. Just download the zip from the post a few pages back and apply it in recovery.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I flashed JQ1 and got 1 to 2 bars in my room where I got none with JK4. I recently flashed KC1 and got hardly any signal and slightly less wifi. So in my location, Upland CA, JQ1 is far better.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Honestly its all preference and location based. For me JQ1 gives me the best signal I can get in my room, which I'm in 90% of the day. (Just had surgery on my ankle)

No other modem even comes close to JQ1, for me. But LA is literally 30 mins away and HC1 might be better.

I strongly recommend testing out each modem. For me I download 6 modems to my sdcard and flashed each. And JQ1 came out on top.

(Took about 1 hour because I gave 5-10 mins for each modem. I watched the bars go up or down. I also held each in my hand to see if I would lose signal.)
[Captivate Android Development] Delwyn:
What CA area are you? I barely get reception in my house with JK4. I live in South Orange County and just want an opinion what new modem will give me reception in my house.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I live in Upland, CA. Its San Bernandino County. But literally the next street over is LA County.

Try KC1 first, just flash. If its not what your looking for flash back to JK4 then do the 850 method to flash JQ1.

I went from Serendipity 6.3 to miui/cm7 and really wish that Samsung would release some of their captivate gingerbread work or something so that MikeyMike can work his magic. Serendipity 6.3, in my opinion, is the BEST Captivate 2.2 rom hands down..battery life and everything.

Awesome - learn something new every day! Both got a tap of the Thanks button :)
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
One thing I noticed going from JQ1 to KC1 was how quickly AT&T showed on the home screen after a reboot. On JQ1 it took about 5-8 seconds to go from No Service to AT&T and with KC1 it shows AT&T as soon as the home screen loads.

But like people keep pointing out it all depends on where you live, different modems work better in different locations.

I think carrier branded phones might have the right to scan your device for unauthorized usages. Better start buying non-carrier branded phones.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If we're already on a custom ROM and have been (no official update here, ever) can they somehow 'push' something onto my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:

I don't even want to tether. I just want serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yup, same here. I have no need for tethering.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
The way they see it, if they subsidized the cost of the phone and you're using their network, you can do whatever they allow you to do.

I'm not taking their side, I'm just sayin'. :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is as exciting as the "y2k bug" all the conspirator's felt that Microsoft never accounted for the internal calender flipping to the year 2000. All would stop running our government, banks. food and water supplies.... yeah look where that went! The theory was to create a "unofficial" patch to not have this happen. Once again conspirator's barked saying Microsoft was to blame for this, they just wanted to sell new software.

Really people read your phone contract, is there any statement that says "Rooting your phone is bad and we will hunt you done and melt your body if you do"! Jeez I musta missed that one. What is stated is any modifications to this device will void warranty. OK anybody here not aware of that shouldn't be here.

Don't get all worked up over something that is purly rederick! The cost alone for AT&T would be astronomical
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Good post.

I gotta say tho, that may be true for MODDING your phone, but does our contract say anything about tethering? I'm making this post from my laptop.....in my car....so I'm kinda sketched out about that lmao
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I don't have that little paper clip???
[Captivate Android Development] Espaa Valorum:
I'm still a little confused about trying different modems: I keep seeing people posting about having to go through a chain of modems to be able to use the final one, implying it is a requirement to flash them in that order. Is that true, or am i misunderstanding things and can you simply pick a modem (as long as it's compatible with froyo and is i9000 based) and flash it through recovery? I want to try a few different modems, but i'm a little hesitant because of this confusion on my part...

The thing is that att makes up the subsidy in the 2 year contract that I had to "sign" a few times over so in the end I will more than have fully paid for the phone. That is the reason for the early termination fee.

seeing that this is the Serendipity Rom thread, i thought it wouldn't be hard to surmise that i was trying to flash the Serendipity Rom.

[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Not exactly. Only in two very specific instances.

"If we increase the price of any of the services to which you subscribe, beyond the limits set forth in your customer service summary, or if we materially decrease the geographical area in which your airtime rate applies (other than a temporary decrease for repairs or maintenance), we'll disclose the change at least one billing cycle in advance (either through a notice with your bill, a text message to your device, or otherwise), and you may terminate this agreement without paying an early termination fee or returning or paying for any promotional items, provided your notice of termination is delivered to us within thirty (30) days after the first bill reflecting the change."
[Captivate Android Development] :
If AT&T decides to shut off my line because they cant see what Im doing because I dont have their rom on my phone with some ghost app enabled in the background, guess what... I wont be paying my bill. I wont have an ETA and I wont lose service for long. I just happened to talk to my lawyer friend about this today and he said that if they choose to shut off service to the line, legally I will not be subject to pay because it was their decision to shut off service and terminate my contract.

If that should happen, I will then sell my Captivate on Ebay, switch to Tmobile (depends on if the merger goes through) or Verizon, open a new line and get a phone that is subsidized. Either that or get a phone off contract so they cant do jack sh*t. Either way, let them try to force me to pay.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Exactly.

Besides all this, it's not happening, won't happen, can't happen, and shan't happen. At least not in the next few years.

Love da 'dipity

I have been on this ROM for some time and love it.

Flashed both my son's when they saw the speed and smoothness.

My wife was unsure, so I left hers alone. She got excited when the mini kies update for ATT was available so I updated hers that way...

LOSING!!!!

Now she wants dipity, but being quite a noob I am stuck on the problem of rooting the phone. Seems the update.zip file is now considered unsigned or something.

Some reading on forums indicate that I might be able to change out the recovery file in the /system/bin folder to get past this, but I am lost...

If I don't have root, how am I able to use root explorer, etc, to put the file there?

Ultimately, I would like to get root so that I can do a TiTanium backup before whatever the proper steps are for flashing to 6.3.

Even at that point, now I am concerned that doing an ODIN one click, now that it is on the updated 2.2, will cause bricking.

Any words of wisdom from my favorite ROM and Thread?

Thanx!

Flash the update.zip I attached from the stock recovery menu. You will probably have to flash it twice to get in the Clockwork Recovery. Then you can flash as usual.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
You could flash the modded 3e recovery zip file, posted above but...

1. I would just root 2.2 using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

2. Backup data using Tibu

3. Using Odin to flash back to stock JF6. (Like the directions say on dipity site)

4. Master Clear

5. Flash Serendipity 6.3

6. Restore tibu and apps

Btw steps 2-6 can be done easily with Bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5

While phone is off, I hold up and down vol buttons, and power. When I see white screen I let go of power a few times, quickly, then back to holding it, and I get into the options where I scroll with vol buttons and hit power when on reinstall packages.

I should be more specific on the wolf failure... It did not reboot into recovery. Not sure how long I should have waited, but it was at least 5 minutes with no other indications that ROOT process was proceeding.
