I had this crazy idea to write a Serendipity customizer app in which you could select all the apps you want, then a server side form would pack them all in a flashable zip, dl that zip to your phone. you reboot to recovery and install.

maybe throw in an update check/DL option.

finding its a little bit harder than it looks...

It's obviously not a big deal, but would be a nice finishing touch for me!

No, you aren't the only one. With Serendipity I'm perfectly happy with my Captivate. Samsung and AT&T can go pound sand. They both suck, but I'm over it.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
it's a solid piece of hardware, but samsung's business of not updating the software makes me think s korea is an undeveloped country still. give us or updates dammit!

I still prefer the samoled screen over the IPS screens. The captivate is also pretty thin and lightweight compared to my old iPhone.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
It's not the phone, it's the company. Total disrespect for its customers, exhibited by a persistent lack of communication.
[Captivate Android Development] knyghtryda:
Thats my feeling exactly. As a piece of hardware it really has no equal in this generation. AMOLED + 1GHZ processor + Fast GPU + thin form factor = Major win. Its just too bad its so crippled by random issues, software or otherwise. At this point I'm torn between getting some next gen samsung with super AMOLED (I really do love the screen...) or getting a Moto/HTC/whatever and know that I'm not playing russian roulette when it comes to support. I do plan on waiting a good few months however for the 4g issues to work themselves out and maybe have a network that actually runs a 4g speeds (I'm looking at you ATT...).
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've looked at many different phones and I don't think I'll ever give up this screen. Nothing out there compares in my eyes. Hopefully the SamsungJohn thing will come to something, and Samsung will pull their heads out of their you-know-whats and realize the PR disaster they've created - and rectify it. In this day and age companies can't ignore social media, they get way too much advertising, both good and bad, within them.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I just flashed Serendipity and I love it. Very clean ROM.

I wish there was a English(Can) locale setting though. Also, is it me or does the notification mod (transparency) lag down the pull down menu quite significantly? :S

[Captivate Android Development] Chucky5150:
I really like this ROM but I can't seem to be able to use it.

I was wondering if someone could explain this problem I have.

When I switched to this ROM my Home button started to freak out. It was as if I was doing a little tap dance on the home button. I would unlock the screen and it would freak out or sometimes I would try and dial a phone number and it would take me back to the home screen in the middle of it. Huge pain in the ass.

This happened over a few days. I even cut 1/4 inch off my screen protector.

I change to a different ROM (Firefly 2.1) and I don't have this problem all day.

What is causing my home button to freak out?
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
Who uses a screen protector with a Gorilla Glass panel? LOL. I've purposely tried to scratch mine with a fork and I was unsuccessful. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] RootPhisher:
I've left my screen protector off for a few days and was very careful with the phone and still managed to get a scratch...

My advice, protect your screen. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Friend of mine got the Vibrant and scratched his screen the first day before he could put a screen protector on it (without a fork). Don't believe that the screen is scratch resistant. Not true at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Cupricreki:
If has been posted, I can't find it. But every install of this rom, I always get a force close of com.android.mms and I loose the ability to send texts.

The strange thing is that it only happens after about a week of a fresh install, and the only,way to fix it is to do a complete really install, any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
So I flashed swype keyboards just a few moments ago and didn't like the results. Replaced the newer swype with the original backup and the the "tail" that shows up as your swype has turned from green to blue. Is there a wat to restore the green?
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
I use Seido Crystal Clear films on the glass and BestSkinsEver for the rest of the phone. It's cheap and doesn't add bulk.

Seido's are the best imo and you can't even tell it's on. I tried Steinheil's Ultra Crystal films and couldn't get the edges around the perimeter of the glass to stick. I also tried AT&T's film from their store, but they were terrible and I got my money back.

I like to keep my phone as new as possible for when I eventually sell it. Plus, I hate micro-scratches. I know you can't see them unless you tilt your phone at an angle, but knowing they're there would bug me.

[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
What are you people doing with your phones? Damn! I've had a Nexus S since it's introduction, and a Captivate since last October and when I wipe either off on my shirt tail they look brand-new... scratch free. And that's with numerous drops and tosses.

You guys/friends must have put yours glass down on cement and tried to ride them like skateboards or something.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Yup, noticed that too. Didn't know a way to revert so I just reinstalled the ROM. Was going to do it anyways so it wasn't much trouble. This time around, I'll leave the notification stock.

Noticed this too. Isn't that bad though.
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
Mikey, I noticed the auto rotate toggle soft button on the task bar drop down doesn't seem to function properly. Noticed this with 5.7 (clean install) and I'm running the update to 5.8 now with the same issue. I am running the suckerpunch kernel #49, not sure if that matters. Awesome work. This Rom provides by far the best experience for the captivate!

Haha, I liked this comment :) I have always used a Zagg Invisible Shield ever since my first iPhone, and I love the things. They are only sticky for the first couple of days, and now I am used to them even then. Plus, my screen looks perfect when I take it off to sell the phone.

As a side note, I love this phone with Serendipity and Suckerpunch. Fastest, smoothest, best looking phone I've ever had. I won't be switching for a long time :D

I totally agree. No scratches here for 6 months without a screen protector. I pocket mine with my keys a lot.

When you do a fresh flash, do you restore everything, including system data? Don't do that., if you do. Do you really need to keep your mms? Something in there is corrupt, you'll keep getting those FCs as long as you continue to restore them. I had that problem myself, the only way to stop it was to just let the old sms and mms go and do a fresh start.

I never restore system data, only ever the applications. Could it have something to do with the apps I restore?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I don't know - shouldn't be, but I never restored system apps, and I also lost the ability to send sms. I was using GO Sms at the time. That inability was why I went to Assonance in the first place, when I flashed the custom ROM I had deleted GO Sms totally from my backup, actually anything to do with SMS was tossed and not restored. I haven't had a problem since. I really don't care about keeping any messages, but I'm sure others feel differently about it - in that case I'd use a backup method that synched with Google or another web page, so I could get rid of everything and start fresh, then just reinstall the messages.

I've just reinstalled GO Sms (I love that springtime theme, come on Spring!), fingers crossed that I don't have the same problem again.....

Mikey could I flash this over Darkyy 9.3 JS5

I have a jig and could flash to stock I'm just lazy. And have always wondered whether Odin is necessary anymore if I just wipe everything in CWM
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Any good rom should format all the stuff and install with no issues, if you get an error during the rom wipe/install then you will want to go back to stock and flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya that's exactly what I thought. And I'd guess this is a good ROM and I always have Odin which always works for me and a Jig which never lets Me down.

But ya assuming this is a good ROM it should easily flash over

If anyone else has flashed this over something please comment back really intrigued. I know I could never seriously brick because I have Odin which works every single time, a Jig, but I have become more and more intrigued if we could flash over. And Ive asked a couple people today and they said the saem as you that a good install script will write over everything for you and honestly whats the difference between switching between a JS3 and a JS5 base, then JS5 to JH6. And unneccesarily putting in a new boot loader ect.

So I started thinking logically technically what is really the difference, obviously I can always use Odin as a back up but ive heard of a lot of people now that just flash over and over.

Anyone that does that please comment back and share your experience.

ok this is probably a stupid question but how do you guys flash roms on your captivate?

with my incredible i just download them through rom manager or put it on the sd card. i then have it do a backup/wipe and flash the new rom over.

i'm trying to set serendipity up for my friend on his captivate and it looks like rom manager is frowned upon. what would i use to backup his current stock rom (just rooted) and then flash serendipity over it?
