Mikey

I just thought id let you know although im sure you have heard this a lit and might not matter. But.I am currently on 4.0.1 and this rom has finally stopped my flashing obsession. Even though I switched your kernel with speedmod I still give the rom much credit. I have never had su h a fluid rom. Very rarely is there an issue and mt battery life is incredible. Obviously with speedsmod and juice defender helping also I have managed to top 20 hreshko of life. I never thought that possible. With the lack of errors and battery life I am very satisfied. I hardly even check the.forum for other rom updates now. I mean with gps I did have some delay with directions once. But.im sure I need a fix. Or it was just first time jitters with it. Im even slightly hesitant with updating to 4.0.3 with the chance.it.would effect my battery life (even updating to the new speedmod is to daring lol) so I would like to that.k you very dearly for satisfying one ofnthe most.indesisive impatient people ever. Its a hard feat to accomplish.

With that being said if you wanna elaborate on 4.0.3 with any risks of effect my battery life or any perks to updating with other aspects please do.

Thanks mike

I also experienced the FC when someone called me yesterday, but happened to me once. Flashed Serendipity after returning to stock and master cleared everything.

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Did you reboot your phone after you put the file in your system app file? That fixed the same problem for me
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Stupid me. I just finished restarting and noticed it started working. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I have the same issue with 4.3. I did not master clear before loading over 3.5.2, so that might be it. I do not care enough to reflash, just reporting the issue. :)
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
any mirrors? d/l is taking fkn 3 hours
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
Flashed to 4.2 last night and enabled steam recovery, but am unable to install speedmod. I'm using SGS and I select the kernel, but still see steam in the about my phone screen as the kernel running. Am I doing something wrong?

[Captivate Android Development] agegsg:
Hmm, started to flash this rom with the restore stock and master clear. It seems I am stuck on the flashing... it said its finding update package after I chose the 4.3 zip file from clockworkmod recovery. Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Pull out the battery and then go back to CWM and flash Serendipity again.

Serendipity 4.3
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Auto Rotate works fine.

Note: The default launcher doesn't support it.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Weird, it did with Serendipity 3.5.2? No worries for me, I am not a fan of auto rotate. Thanks for the clarification, 4.3 is looking awesome thus far.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
After flashing to 4.2.1, I believe I've found a bug with changing labels in the app Gmail.

Repro steps:

1. Open Gmail

2. Open check an email in the list by pressing the checkbox

3. Press the "Labels" button in the bottom right

4. Scroll the labels popup window

5. See a black overlay on top of everything in the list, only seems to happen while you're scrolling the list.

I guess this happened with "More UI Tweaks" from the 4.2.1 changelog?

Can someone else confirm this please.

Edit: I'm on 4.3
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Btw, about the changelog, what are the UI tweaks made?
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
Thanks, I'll try that.

Another thing, in 2.0, if I held down the power button for a few seconds it would come up with a menu that included boot to download or recovery. Now when I do it, my phone freezes and and then restarts. Anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Can you describe the process you used to flash the FB kernel? Because when I tried it, I had all sort of weird problems until I switched it back to GB-steam...
[Captivate Android Development] weirdboy09:
Huspa

is Huspa the equivalent to the 3g provided by AT&T or is it a better to that data service?:confused:

Great Rom nevertheless
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Faster upload speeds. Its a little better all around.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Faster data. So yeah its better ;)
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
You can flash FB/2 with ODIN or Rom Manager, just download the appropriate version and use the right method.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Has anyone figured out how to solve the phone FC issue yet? Also, this is just personal preference, but is there a way to get the back to top when you hold the status bar on the iphone?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I think they're still working on it. I also had that issue and hope they can figure out how to solve the fc issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
My power menu is working fine...have you flashed a theme or mod of any kind on top of the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
12 test calls since flashing 4.3, no force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
only installed the blue battery mod, steam and then tried to do the speedmod kernel. maybe i should reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
Oh, and then I restored apps + system data with TiBu and then data again with my root backup. Could that have caused issues?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
The blue battery mod would be the only thing of those three that would screw up the power menu I believe...maybe if you found a battery mod that is compatible with 4.3 it would save you a reflash...

Edit: Yea restoring system data is a big no no about 99 percent of the time...you should probably just reflash to both solve this problem and others that might arise...
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
Oh, I didn't realize that. How do the rest of your restore your settings: wifi, email, widgets, shortcuts on home page, etc after a flash?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I have the KP1 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
What thing happened to me last night is when someone called me, the ringtone went on but suddenly the phone losses it signal (the one that looks like when the phone boots up, gray bars with X on top). I don't remember if the fc notification pops up, happened once.
[Captivate Android Development] justmijosh:
Thank you for all of your hard work! I have had a wonderful experience with this rom, and have had it on my phone since version 2.0!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Never reload system data.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've been told to never restore system data, and I never have had an issue. Things seem to go just fine without it.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
sometimes i get a force close and sometimes i get that
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
I just realized that I was using the battery mod for 2.0--thanks for the reminder. Just updated and the power menu works again! Now I'm concerned because I restored system data. I thought that was awesome--being able to restore everything back to how it was before I flashed but with the new ROM. What do you suggest I do next time?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I wanna try the previous Phone.apk but I'm afraid something will mess up if I do that..
[Captivate Android Development] happycappy:
So you're saying it's better not to save settings and data of apps unless you're using the particular app itself?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
So will this work with 4.3 ? I want the gingerbread one.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
It's ok to back them up.

I restore apps only and then selectively restore data.

I never restore system data.

Edit: Even batch restore with data works for me, but again, never system data.
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
It should.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I'm not sure but I've read that ChanceM will make the mod available for 4.3 when he has time so I'm guessing it will not work properly for the 4.3.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
I use the 4.0.1 phone apk and everything works fine. It fixed the force close problem :)

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I believe it's available, I installed 4.3 and the battery mod this morning.
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
+1

I've noticed this when the black theme UI came out. No big deal considering the black theme is much better than the white. If I had the skills of the devs I'd try to fix it but I wouldn't know where to begin, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It has something to do with the music player thingy, about the color. It changes it a bit but it depends on your preference.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
the mod will work but it will remove lock screen theme and music controls.

anybody using the new market and getting fc's when you click open on an app you already have installed?

edit: weird, it only FC's when i try to open Voodoo control app, but it apparently works for everything else. Guess it's the voodoo app. Sorry! :D

Yeah same here with all browsers... this used to work for me when I was on Assonance :\

Must be something related to a core android library or something.

I've done a flash to 4.2.1 - 4.3 came out this morn - and restored my missing apps + data without any issue.

I didn't restore any overlapping system apps, just canceled on those; however via Root Explorer I replaced the Samsung E-mail app (and video player), rebooted, had one force close on the launcher (only one so far) and no problems.

Should I be worried about anything? And what else am I missing? I tend to use the actual Samsung e-mail app instead of the Gmail app (personal preference) ... is there any other apps missing? I see the one for the MMS but I tend to go from Gallery to Share to Message and do it that way.

Sorry for such a n00b question, just making sure I'm at a good spot before I jump up to 4.3 later today.

Also... I can also reproduce the aforementioned G-mail labels issue too - it prompted my switch back to Samsung's E-mail.

That's a rather presumptuous statement. I smell something under a bridge.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I hate when trolls post about good developers doing good work. If you actually had read the thread, you would know there were real issues that Mikey patched, and he made update patches to not impact those that flashed quickly.

Changing version numbers does not make the ROM more appealing to others, it is necessary for good revision control. Mikey even posted an update here to Vendor.Apk so he did not have to bundle a new version.
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
mike pretend that post didnt happen

I love your updates
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
For sure. Maybe we can get XDA to add a "No Thanks" button. :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Confirmed and here is a screenshot.
[Captivate Android Development] cashrox:
I used 4.2.1 to 4.3
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Or better yet, Troll button.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
You should use the Serendipity 4.3, that's an update for previous version prior to 4.3. Updates are not cumulative. Nothing happened since 4.3 only updates the MMS.apk about the undecided smiley for colon bug.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I hate you. :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Anytime the Serendipity ROM update file has an updated framework-res.apk file in it, you should not flash a battery circle mod unless it is specifically says it is compatible with the Serendipity version. I have one available for 4.2 and 4.3 just PM me if interested.
[Captivate Android Development] stnguyen09:
I can attest to this happening as well.
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
Did you just change kernels? This happened to me immediately after I flashed Firebird2. I fixed it by putting Speedmod on my external, and moved it to my internal with Root Explorer, then flashed that.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I would not do it. The framework was updated in 4.2 so you would overwrite whatever Mikey changed. 4.2 > 4.3 there was no framework change.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I think this is more kernel related than ROM. If you can get the attached file to your internal SD using some method like ADB, you can flash it in clockwork recovery to fix the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I was developing an app and while it was in beta I released an update anytime I fixed a bug or added functions. Occasionally I would release 2 or 3 updates in a day. When people complained I just told them if they wanted weekly updates, for example, to not download a new version more than once a week and it would be just like I only did weekly releases.

So that's my advice to you. Don't download every release. Unless it bothers you for other people to get frequent updates then I don't see how this could be a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
With mikey continually working on perfecting the framework, why not just create a metamorph zip for the circle battery? This would eliminate confusion and maintain compatibility.
[Captivate Android Development] cashrox:
Yeah I was on the previous version I had just updated last night
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Sometimes the MMS.apk from 4.3 doesn't notify me that there's a new sms, I mean the ringtone doesn't play. Can someone confirm this, maybe it's just me?
[Captivate Android Development] r_3:
How can I get the stock email app installed? I tried the file hosted on the first post and it fails the install.
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Another n00b question. With Assonance the bottom lights would alert me if I had a message, e-mail or Tweetdeck mention. Am I missing something in the newest version?
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Best way is to use Root Explorer and copy the file to system/app folder.
[Captivate Android Development] jkr500:
Hi guys. I have one question. I flashed the rom successfully and everything is working great.

I also flashed the steamkerel as well.

I was just trying to figure out what is the best option for the lag fix menu in steam what would be the best file system that you tried and worked the best with this rom ? Thank you for the help
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
a=ex4. Ext 4 lagfix is recomended by most.

sent from my SGH-I897 running Serendipity 4.3 w/ Hardcore's K12Q-t4 kernel and KP1 modem!!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
You will need to use a kernel that supports Backlight notifications (BLN). Firebird is my favorite which you can find here in the Captivate Android Development forum. You will also want to download SGS Kernel flasher from the market and the BLN free app so you can change the settings. Once you have the Kernel on your SD card and SGS Kernel Flasher, you can then flash it. Once done, you can use the BLN free app to set it up.

EDIT: Also if you are running lagfix which most ROM's do, I recommend disabling this before swapping kernels. If you do not know how to do this, ask in the ROM thread for your ROM. Once disabled, you can then use SGS Kernel flasher to flash the new kernel. If you choose Firebird kernel, it will use Voodoo lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
i wanted to use the steam kernel but the battery life was going fast.

I tried to undervolt it, but was getting constant screen freezes, what are your setting for voltage using steam kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] jkr500:
Thank you very much
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
i was trying all 75's on the glitterball steam kernel and i get sleep of death....for those who havent tried though

[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
I'm using Serendipity 4.3 with the Steam kernel. You'd think that Serendipity would have continued that feature for BLN.

I have SGS, just trying to figure out if it's worth it for such a minor feature on an otherwise awesome ROM.

Thank you for your answer,
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
The default kernel does have bln. Maybe it was turned off for some reason for you.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Ah, you are right. Did not see that on OP but see it on the kernel page:

Hi guys, I recently flashed my first rom, the Cognition 3.04 rom. I finally did it because it used the rogers captivate froyo rom as the source so it is very stable. After popping my rom flashing cherry, I am now more interested in other roms. I am still just a little concerned about flashing the i9000 roms and not something that was made for the captivate. I really love the look of the Serendipity 4.3 rom and I think the gingerbreead theme on it is perfect. Anyway, how is the stability of serendipity vs something that uses the rogers captivate rom as a source? Should I not be worried?
