For some reason I cannot connect to my computer via USB since I went to 5.10. The only other thing done on the Captivate was to flash the 13c kernel. It tries to connect but them times out with an I/O error. Thoughts?

Don't get burnt out Mike and Chance. This past week I went through just about every rom that is kept current and I did a full circle back to Serendipity. Its just too legit to quit. Even the minimalist roms felt slow compared to this and your support is excellent.

What I wanted to know, which im sure has been asked and answered somewhere is, what phone in the near future are you two planning to develop for?

:-) keep up the excellent work guys.

Thanks. I actually wondered bout that, but I was thinking SU was used when doing terminal emulation.

You'd think the tutorials I did read would have mentioned that. :rolleyes: Of course, maybe I needed to read the entire tutorial instead of the areas focusing on what I was looking for. :o

Upgraded to 5.11

Able to access internal & external SD cards from my PC via USB Debugging mode.

Bluetooth connection/call volume good.

Sharp/clear text with automatic brightness enabled.

GPS locks quickly/solidly.

Wifi works.

Wireless upload/download speeds solid.

Any questions? :cool:

Mike, does this version support better keyboard 8? I had a problem with the earlier versions FC'ing every time I chose it as my default keyboard...
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
Hi, i'm back to Serendipity. After flashing far and wide...i guess i still love this ROM the best. Fast, neat, great gps and battery life.

But along the way, i think the call sound quality is slightly less compared to Andromeda; or is it just me? Does the modem used affects the call quality?
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
I love the look of this rom. The buttons and look feel 'soft' and clean.

Sadly I just did 5.10 last night, now 5.11 is out :P

It is my understanding that it does. Check out the modem posts. (Search for Modem in the title) There are comments there about results for different people on different modems.

If you are referring to the kernel just be sure it ends states it is the cwm version and flash it.

So I haven't flashed a new ROM since Serendipity 2.0 (It's that good!), and I decided that it's time for an update. My flash process went without any hitches, and everything runs great except one thing:

Whenever I try to change my lock screen, my phone will lock, unlock with no lockscreen, lose its background picture (black now), freeze, then go to the crayon android logo that indicates the startup loading screen, and repeats ad infinitum.

Short of re-flashing, I haven't been able to fix it. Any suggestions?

You have framework files that are not on the same page.

Could be from a theme, mod, or bad flash.

+1

Does it make the colors more vivid? Does the font appear sharper? In better resolution? More readable?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Animations lagged really bad for me running suckerpunch. I may try it again before long when I get bored.

It's hard to describe. Everything looks better to me. The gradients on solid colors is noticably less. Colors seemed more vivid which may be due to it seeming to be brighter (note: I get better battery life with GBs kernel even though the backlight is brighter).
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Yeah, that's one thing that's been bothering me about speedmod. I gave it a try about 2 months ago or so, but the lowest brightness setting was too dark for me. However, it's the only kernel I've seen so far that fixes notifications volume while headphones are plugged in. I like that because quite frankly, notifications come in loud as f*** with headphones in. So I went back to it at the expense of a nice, bright screen.

Err, I guess back on topic. Good job with the music app. That was the one thing preventing me from switching from mixzing. I like the notification menu controls and the lock screen controls, but the weird sorting from the letter K to the letter I to the letter U turned me away from it.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I've always had this music app available, but there was some things wrong that I didn't really have the know-how to fix until now. Slowly starting to understand the code and whatnot behind the scenes and not just how to grab a bunch of mods and shoe horn them together.

[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Here & Here
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Yeah that was a good fix and I was happy that was put in for people who like brighter screens, like me. It still causes the auto brightness to be a bit dimmer than I want, but again the sound fixes in speedmod are good enough to prevent me from jumping to other kernals.

I tried firebird for a bit and while the brightness was better, I got ear raped a couple times pretty badly from loud notifications. Horrible when I'm trying to fall asleep to music and suddenly I get my notifications for newsrob (it's the stepping stones sound. Almost fell out of my bed a couple times).
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I switch between GB's and Suckerpunch #50 1000Hz, but I prefer the way my phone runs on Suckerpunch's kernel. There is no lag anywhere, everything feels just like it should feel, plus there are more UV options in suckerpunch's kernel. (Select the states)

Edit:

The only problem with color that I ever notice, is when I dim the screen even farther with Screen Filter, and all the black colors turn a maroon/dark red-pink color. But that's only when I use my phone at night in the dark, or during class when I don't need all the light my phone gives off.

Batt Life

Quick ?. . Wanna try out serendipity but trying to figure out when. Here's the issue - I'm on call this week and need my battery to last me 30 hours straight. I'm getting that so far on percepction 10.4 and don't wanna flash before my call if the batt life can't hold up to perception.

So, my ? is, for those who have used percepction 10.4 and now on serendipity, how's the batt life for you? Better? Worse?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Battery life is fantastic on my end. Matter of fact I forgot to charge my phone last night and I am sitting at 17hrs unplugged and I am at 52% battery right now. Thats with even listening to some podcasts on Stitcher and using the phone, looking at twitter, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Really depends on how heavy of a user you are....every phone is different.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I prefer serendipity to perception, but it's all based on the user, And how much one uses their phone
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Thanks!!

Thanks but obviously I know it depends on how heavy of a user one is. The query is directed more to finding out if the batt life is the same, better, or worse for the same user. So based on that, I'm trying to figure out if those who have used each find one better then the other for batt or equal.

[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
For me its like the difference between 480p and 720p. Try his 1.28ghz kernel. It makes speedmod look a lot less crisp in graphics and txt

And also there is various ways to recalibrate your battery to get supposedly max performance out of it.
