redbend_ua is what flashes the kernel and modem. The kernel is zImage, and the modem is modem.bin.

Anyone else having issues with youtube and the market? My internet works but when I go to watch videos on the youtube app it doesn't load them. The market doesn't load sometimes either.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Nope, the market loads and works fine, and Youtube works well, too, at least on my end.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
I hate that voice button messes me up several times a day. Always hitting that or the period button, makes the space bar so small when typing is needed. I never hit that swype button lol. Though its good to delete words.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
YouTube and Market works fine for me too.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Market and youtube both work for me. So far I havnt had any real issues this version :).

Black gmail still weird hard to tell unread from read.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Interesting. I guess we really can't get rid of it, because of course it has functionality beyond just linking to the tutorial. Dammit.

Trying 5.1

Back to Serendipity..........in landscape mode when messaging the To: box is very large. Looks like 3 or more spaces/rows. Is there a setting to make it smaller and the keyboard larger???

Swype is what I'm using but think it works that way in both.

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
You would also lose the arrow portion of the keyboard with all of those nice function keys. If you remove the tutorial button. Although one could try to reduce the touch responsive range.

I've hit it maybe twice in 4 months. Not an issue here at all.
[Captivate Android Development] crossover37:
Hmmm, I wonder if the jk4 has anything to do with it. It occurs when I'm not on wifi. I'm on 5.0 but don't think 5.1 addresses the issuew. I'll update and see if there's a change.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I've tried it also yesterday evening with my 3G connection, since my WiFi is slow, and everything went okay.

[Captivate Android Development] RobertInCypress:
Been running 5.1 all day - smooth & awesome!

Bluetooth, Wi-fi, HSPA, cool animations... killer rom!
[Captivate Android Development] balishared:
everything is running smoothly since yesterday. love the new camera app! i like how your roms are getting blacker and less touchwiz

i would love to have screen brightness setting instead of silent mode in the pull down menu bar specially when i m multitasking. i mostly silent my phone with power button or screen lock.

Thanks again Mikey!!

btw i found a locale app on the market :D
[Captivate Android Development] :
Is it badass to send a message/email that looks like "hi ths isnto aslksdhj aslkhs"?

So to answer your question... yes.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
That doesn't happen to me when I swype. <----	Great example ;)

If you don't use auto brightness you can use the old slide the notification bar to adjust the brightness level.

A very minor thing but I was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of the bottom border which is displayed for all contacts? In other ROM's I have not seen this and would rather just see the full photo without the border. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
Swype with tutorial button disabled. All other functionality working except if you go into Swype settings and hit Help it FC's (will fix later). Backup existing Swype.apk and copy this into System/App. Anyone brave enough to try it out?

EDIT: Uploaded updated file, fixes FC in System/Help. Everything works now except Tutorial will not pop up.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
So you can still use the Swype key to delete words, etc?

I would like to remove that also. It bothers me a bit, just a little bit.
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
I don't know how to get rid of it, but I think it's cool that you can tap it and get a pop-up selection of options, i.e. call, text, email, facebook, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
It seems like it squashes the image and it kinda worthless from a visual perspective.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I noticed the squash as well...

And some of my contacts from the contacts app have no history and others do... Yet they show up in the call log.... *shrug*
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
I actually posted a fix for that back a few pages.

Updated to 5.1, still got FC.

Used Titanium Backup to uninstall Voice Search & Gmail. Got an error message trying to get Gmail to re-install through the app market, but I did get Voice Search re-installed.

Installed stock Gmail app from here. Now I'm back to sending emails from my car without crashing into anything. :D
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
I uploaded an updated swype.apk in my original post. So if you want to test this, download that one. I fixed the FC when opening Swype Help in Settings. So everything works now except the tutorial (or more accurately the Help Dialog) does not pop-up when you hit the swype key.

So running 5.1 and having a problem of Handcent not turning my screen on for notification.

It has always worked in the past but isnt working since upgrading to 5.1

Ok, it's done, and look at that, no more tutorial! You are awesome, Louie! :D

Thank you, Reinbeau. I am glad you like it. Although I think you and I are the only ones here who are afflicted with the problem of constantly hitting the swype tutorial button ;)

The android roms website where the download is hosted used to have old versions. It looks like that's gone now. Anyone know where I'd be able to get a hold of an older version, say like 3.5.2?

n00bish question.. to update from 5.0 to 5.1.. do I rename it as update.zip or just flash as is?

Never rename anything...just flash as is...

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
My vote would be to not change it. I don't know about anyone else, but I use that function often. I don't have the problem with it popping up help that much. Certainly not enough to lose the functionality listed in the quote above.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
He was very astute and only removed the tutorial function of the button have no fear everything still works even I'm using it.

No need to rename, just flash.

Edit: Really late to the party, apparently the XDA	app didn't update when I thought.

Something about wifi not sleeping while screen is off. With Speedmod and Serendipity I have been getting great battery life today it just seemed to drop without using it I will see what hardcore says about it. For me S was great, T not so much.

My god, I think I hit the wall rom limit with flashing. Everything seems to be working great and I'm just going to enjoy my phone for a week or so. Unless, some absolutely awesome feature or major fix gets introduced in syrrupdipitfblah .I need a break.
[Captivate Android Development] merlin903:
I've tried searching for this and couldn't find anything... Is there any way to get the lockscreen to turn on when a text message is received? It seems to work in all the roms that have the 4 lock mod that I've tried, except this one.

I know it will draw more power than the BLNs, but having the extra light helps me notice it when I have the my phone on silent.
[Captivate Android Development] Harry Quackenboss:
Is fly-in_animations.zip the Right File?

When I install the add-on, it says "Installing Battery Mod".

Sorry that you're getting so butthurt over me pointing out a minor flaw. The OP (who, by the way, is probably my favorite rom dev) explicitly said that a feature was attention to details. I pointed out a minor detail that was missed to help clean up the rom.

Geeeeeee awwwwwwwwwd - 51 pages! LOL

OK, so I am trying to psych myself up to flash here. I can deal with all the little tweaks and issues getting updated with minor release revisions (love the attention to detail that Mikey has), but I wanted to see what feedback everyone had on things like battery life, *cough* GPS *cough*, bluetooth and call quality.... anyone care to share their experience so far today? Is the steam kernel really smooth (overall UI responsiveness I mean) like GBallz and/or hardcore? No benchmark numbers, just seat-of-the-pants feel is what I am looking to hear back on.

Thanks! :D
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
You need to extract it on your computer first, 7zip works well.
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
Doing good, can't complain one bit. The lovely GPS took forever to lock - 3 reboots later its right on the money. Call quality is just as good as its ever been. Steam front end rocks, Gballz kernel is fast as can be and I can seem to undervolt a bit more on his vs Seitrons. Only real thing I've noticed is a weird lag every time I go into Market.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
No, it does not. You can have enhanced if you flash another kernel which supports BLN 2.3...last I checked, glitterballs #47 kernel, or hardcore's k121. Just keep in mind that GB indicated some folks have had a charge death on his latest kernel (never happened to me, on any kernel). Haven't seen any mention of that in hardcore's thread.

damn, this has to be the fastest moving thread in the cappy forum atm; can't keep up.
[Captivate Android Development] vamshi999:

[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Epic lockscreen

Anyone grow fond of the Epic lock screen, as I did? Perhaps if MM gets some votes for it he'll include??? :D
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
You need something with root access - Root File Manager & I've had luck with ES File Manager.

Copy it into \system\app - should show up then, maybe giv'er a reboot.

Otherwise some applications if you just open them from your SD Card will ask to install, I'm not sure if the email.apk will do it or not... haven't tried.

I flashed this rom on yesterday. Went from Cog 3.04 to this version 5.1. I enjoy everything about this rom however, the GPS is just awful. It took me 3+ minutes to lock, and the would drop periodically. Given, this was about a 18 minute trip. So in the end, I just used the directions that it loads, even after you lose gps sat.

Good work regardless, I seldom use GPS. lol
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:

Turn off use wireless networks, then open gps status and let it lock, then turn on use wireless network and use nav. I get locks in an average of 8 seconds indoors.

Have you tried Handcent SMS? I was a holdout for a long time, but now I really like it. One of the key features (for me, anyway) is new texts turn on the screen and give you an option to reply w/o opening SMS directly. Plus, you can set custom vibration patterns so you can distinguish a text from an email, etc.

The beauty of Android is that it does not have an in-your-face obtrusive popup everytime you get a message. That interrupts whatever it is that your doing and makes you focus on that instead. IMHO thats unprofessional and damn annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yea, I didn't like the popup at all myself, that's why I dumped all those add-on programs and just stick with whatever stock MMS app that's installed. Although I did like the themed Samsung one, so I'm installing it right now.

Hey Mikey or anyone that might know, I switched to a light version of gmail on 5.0 that someone posted here, because I couldn't read a lot of my emails.
