Thanks to all the guys who posted the SGS Tools app! Man I missed that apparently! Too bad it got pulled off the market
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
You didnt follow the directions correctly.

1.	Open Odin in your pc. (make sure you have the correct drivers installed)

2.	Remove your SIM, battery, and external sd card if you have one.

3.	Put battery back in, hold the volume + & volume - buttons and plug in your USB from pc to phone and do not let go of the volume buttons. (Do not touch the power button.)

4.	You should enter download mode. (Yellow screen with android shoveling.)

5.	Odin should then see your phone. Just push start and watch the magic happen!

Tasker Profile for Airplane Mode Cycle

To spare myself the trouble of manually cycling Airplane Mode every boot, I created a Tasker profile to handle it automatically.

Just set a new profile to perform the following sequence on Device Boot:

Wait 10 seconds

Airplane Mode "On"

Wait 10 seconds

Airplane Mode "Off"

So far it has worked well, saved me the trouble of remembering to do it. I have an external SD and Widgetlocker all fighting for attention on boot, so that's why I have the 10 second delay from the get-go.

Edit: Added zip of the Profle XML for easy import action!

All of this modem stuff is kind of confusing. I was thinking about flashing JQ1 as a lot of feedback are reporting better battery results.

What is the difference between GMS and WCDMA and what is the difference between something like WCDMA 1900 and 850?

Tasker idea is smart, but I don't really reboot my phone anymore.

I don't need to change modems since jk4 is fine. Everything is pretty much great. I guess it's time to buy a new phone. lawl.

I am just north of tampa, fl in crystal river....i flashed jq1 yesterday using the flashing method going around and it actually is working where it never did before....ul speeds are consistent at 1.0-1.5mbps same as jk4....however dl speeds are way erratic being any where from 500kbps to as high as 3.5mbps where they were very consistent 2.0-2.5mbps on jk4...

I think I will continue testing for a couple more days before I decide which is better...

All I can tell you is that I haven't found a single modem that worked on my Bluetooth stero hands-free. Since installing the JQ1 modem I have had no problem in my car. Battrry life is fine (did not notice any increase). DL/UL speeds held steady. It just works better for my needs.

Ok, I was also having crazy battery drain, even when at idle. I did the 3d galary upgrade from sgs tools, and i'm still sitting at 100% for almost 2 hours. Just a few txt messages and idle time. Will be interesting to monitor through the day. Will report.

[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Is there a Hide Clock option under the Date and Time settings on 6.2?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
For you people using a different gallery, open Spare Parts and look at sensor usage. See if Gallery is using a ridiculous amount of the accelerometer.

(Go to Battery history and check "Sensor usage")

Not yet. ;)

There is a Hide AM/PM though.

I'm still on 5.12 but also had the same problem.

Turn on haptic feedback, set the intensity to wherever you would like the strength to be and then turn haptic feedback off. I think it's a minor bug.

[Captivate Android Development] DDNV:
If you have a speedmod based kernel, you can set read write permission for system in recovery. Or you can set it using a script in SGS tools. Then astro can do it.

Oh, third way is with a terminal emulator, but thats command line based.

Enabling bluetooth causes FC re com.android.bluetooth process

I have an AT&T Captivate and just flashed the latest 6.2 ROM last night. This is my first 3rd party ROM and I am very happy with it, except for one problem.

Anytime I enable bluetooth on the phone, I get a Force Close message

"The application OPP (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Once I force close, the message goes away and I get a bluetooth icon at the top info bar, but it is gray and not green like the other icons.

Is this a known problem? I did a search but did not see anything.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Not a known issue, and the icon should be gray. I would suggest reboot and see if that helps. If not you should flash again.

Dumb noob question

I did do some research, but it is just confusing me more so I thought I would just ask.

Now that I have the 6.2 ROM loaded, when there is, say, a 6.3 version out and I want to upgrade to the new version, what is the easiest way to do this?

Do I have to ODIN back to stock, root, then load the 6.3, or with Serendipity is there a way to just update the ROM in a simpler manner without doing all the normal steps?

Thanks a lot for the education.

In regards to the gallery thing,

My gallery shows as a fully blue bar, and it says it has been on since about the time I changed it this morning, and yet with my usual normal usage, I still have 70%.

(I'm running the Cog Gallery3D)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I knew it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
But what does that prove? Besides that it is running all the time, it isn't using any more battery than I used to get. Plus I get the luxury of a gallery that opens when I click on it, as opposed to 5 seconds later
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Gallery Usage

Yeah same with me. Even though it says its using the sensor and time on is 10h 41mins, I'm not having any drain. After almost 11hrs I'm at 72%. I used the Gallery 7 times today. Also, even though the sensor usage says its on all the time, all my task managers don't show it running.

Idk whats up with It but I'm still happy I made the switch. Cog's Gallery is better in every way better.

There will most likely be an update zip that is CWM flashable. You would dl and place zip on device root (sd card) then select in CWM install zip, select zip , install ...etc etc. Unless it is a major update ... then you could do 1 of 2 things. A flashover with CWM or return to stock etc etc.

LOL ... and NO ROM MANAGER! :D
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
This was pretty much the normal for me. It was driving me nuts! Especially with all of the talk of people being able to go a whole day without plugging in. Here is what I did and it worked for me (although results may vary).

Flash a fresh version of Serendipity 6.2.

Flash paragon 1300 kernel

set oc/uv t0:

1300 -50

1000 -75

800 -75

600 -100

400 -100

200 -125

100 -125

install RyanZ's OCLF from the market. In that app, install the EXT2 Tools. You don't need to do the lagfix, because this ROM already handles it. Instead set the min free to aggressive and the wifi sleep timer to 15 seconds.

In setting make sure wifi is set to sleep never when plugged in.

after all of that I burn about 4% per hour. The fresh ROM itself does an excellent job, I do all of the extra just to get a little more battery time when I need it and a little more performance when I need it.

hope that helps.

Hey mikey, just came back from CM7 and am really impressed with what you and chance have done here. There are two things that I miss though. First is the ability to change toggles in the pull-down and their position. And the other is the ability to add another slider to the lockscreen. Is there any way to incorporate things like that into Serendipity or is that not possible?
[Captivate Android Development] jaydeekay:
10+ hours and 79% are you kidding me?! Lol could it be the phone itself? Because its like this no matter what rom I use. And I did not read thoroughly before flashing the first time so I didn't do it on a full charge... I bought an extra battery and same story. Tried to bump charge/recalibrate battery and no change. Could different modern or kernel help? I'll try the paragon. Thanks.

I LOVE Serendipity.... so I donated!

I just screwed something....

Was on 6.2 without changing other things like modems or underclocking...

I saw a call recorder download in a forum here on XDA and downloaded Call_Record.adp (I think I got that right)

I tried to apply that zip using recovery and now when the phone comes on it is stuck on Galaxy screen and repeats one long buzz, then three short buzzes.

buzz........ buzz, buzz, buzz.

What should I do to recover? I don't play with this stuff very much and pick Serendipity because I depend on phone a lot.

Help if you can?

Thanx!

zeddock

PS. I tried to undo the Call_Record.zip apply by doing the last .zip update of 6.1_to_6.2 but it erred I guess because it knew I was already on 6.2? Is there a way to UNDO that last Call_Record.zip apply?.... or must I start all over? (I don't think I did a backup for a while.)
[Captivate Android Development] HAYDENB:
yeah im in 3e recovery. when i click reinstall packages it get about a quarter way through and says failed to verify whole file signature then signature verification failed
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Are you going into recovery through the ROM Manager, or the extended start menu? I found that going through the extended start menu option took me into 2e recovery, but going through the ROM Manager put me into 3e.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Uh-oh. That update wasn't for Serendipity 6, which is a completely different base. If you can still get into recovery mode, you can revert, but you'll need to get technical, or at least for what I would do. Open that zip up and see which files it went around replacing. Then pull those from the full 6.2 zip file and use ADB to push them back. You'll probably need to enable System R/W in the Speedmod-Tweaks menu first.

Edit: Oh wait, you mean you just downloaded an apk, not a CWM zip file from this thread? You should point it out to us then with a link.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
No. It was a zip which I tried to install...

I am not sure if "recovery mode" is where the green text is on a black border, but for now only thing I can do is hold three buttons untill ATT comes up then let go of power. That brings up a menu. (I have not yet tried to apply the update.zip, because I thought it better to ask here before doing something else stupid!)

any help appreciated.

[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Yes, that's recovery mode. Did you try to install the zip from there? That's what was it was probably intended for, but again I don't know if it would even work with Serendipity 6.x. Try to find that exact zip file, and I'll correct it so it should go back to previous.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Alternatively (which is what I suspect the aforementioned person intends to do) you can take whatever .zip messed things up, open it, and copy over all the corresponding files in the same locations from the original ROM .zip.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Also, push comes to shove, you could download the full ROM .zip and under recovery mode Mount the SD Card (which now works in the last several speedmod kernels) and drag and drop it onto your phone and then flash it. You'd lose your apps and settings and whatnot, but those are all backed up in TiBu. And if they're not, it's a not so pleasant reminder to download/buy TiBu. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Look... I am sorry I am so slow, but I don't understand how I would do that!

First off, how to get the right files physically back onto the device if it won't boot... OK... will assume the steps above allow it to connect as a USB storage device?

....probably way beyond me these days.

Okay, fix is attached, give it a try.

Reboot your phone into recovery mode as you did before, and plug in your USB cable. Scroll down to "mounts and storage" and at the bottom is "mount USB storage." You should now be able to copy that .zip file over to the root of your phone. Then you will go back a level and scroll to "install zip from sdcard," "choose zip," and then find the one you copied over and apply it.
