1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

[Captivate Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
sounds pretty straight forward. just one question. every time he wants to flash a new ROM over he needs to restore it to stock and re-root the phone as per the guide?
[Captivate Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
so with this i just click flash custom rom and let it do its thing or do i still need to do all the other steps but only now i just have to click a single button to do them?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Whenever I flash a new ROM, or any complete ROM, I always flash to stock, wipe everything, re-root. Just to be safe. I am not completely sure if you can just flash over another custom ROM, but someone on here can elaborate on that more.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
With the AIO Toolbox, just follow the video on there and it should lead you through it without any problems.

Bay_Wolf made this program to aid new people, and also to just make everyone's lives easier :)

EDIT: Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to double post. I thought it would've auto-merged..
[Captivate Android Development] :
The video that is in the first post is 11 minutes. Its extremely helpful and full of good ideas. I have flashed a few times and even I benefited from the video walkthrough. Its worth watching and will answer any questions you have about that program. A great program to have since it's an all-in-one for flashing.

Go Launcher EX problem with Serendipity

Hi everyone,

Having a problem where everytime I reboot, my widgets are all either in the wrong place/screen, missing or duplicate themselves. Using with GO Launcher EX, Android 2.2.1 on Rogers. Any idea what gives?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
Aaaaah anyone know how to disable the clear notification mod?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I believe it was posted earlier to just flash the stock one over it. I could be mistaken though.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
I'd like to take this time to thank Mikey and Chance for being competent people.

I made 1 little remark on the new supernova ROM's thread and im getting crucified by mental midgets.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya I would also like to hear if people flash over custom ROMs. I have talked to a couple people today that flash ROMs over one and other constantly without a problem but if someone else could elaborate please.
[Captivate Android Development] chraz13:
ok sorry to be a Noob guys, but just to get this straight, for me to go from 5.7-->5.8 do I have to follow the steps in the flash guide and basically start with a stock rom by using Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
no you just flash the 5.7 to 5.8 zip in cwm to update
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Nope. Just boot into recovery and flash, thats it.
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
Where can i get the stock one?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, just do the 5.7-5.8 zip - but be careful to go to the update page and download that update, not the full 5.8 zip.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Stock ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I had the same issue with the GO Launcher, after flashing to Serendipity 5, on my ATT Captivate. I think I one-click rooted, then restored apps, then restored GO Launcher, including restoring the GO Launcher data. It didn't do well with the widgets. It either didn't restore them, or restored them poorly and I was deleting "widget bits" off my screens for days.

I think I'm good now (10 days? later), but I do get some odd rotation issues occasionally.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
There is no easy way, you have to extract the file from the full ROM zip
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
I usually only flash to stock if the lagfix is different (voodoo or ULF)

Hey! Quit flaming. No flaming allowed.

that it takes a ridiculously long time to bring up the applications list? Didnt do this in 5.7
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya thats what everyone is saying now. I have a download mode Jig just in case but what everyone says is if you wipe data cache and dalvik cache in CWM then flashing over is super easy.

[Captivate Android Development] hacker01:
First off, GREAT rom. It's super fast and the capacitive button lighting doesnt bug out like on rom I was previously on.

Some quick question though. Is it possible to change the highlight colors within the menus right? I assume it just takes some xml editing? And the same would go for progress bars and market background right?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Most of it is image files.

The progress bar is .xml, and some others might be.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I've yet see a post where anyone has bad-mouthed someone.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I agree, in the Serendipity thread, it has been all good since I started reading since before I joined :)

Is this a joke? Because the people in this thread have always been nice and helpful. I'll just take it as a joke.
[Captivate Android Development] jayrod88:
I know I have brought this up before but I just wanted to know if any progress has been made to get bluetooth voice dialing to work? I am reading on some other roms that it now works (not sure what was done). The problem is that I love this rom too much to switch. It would just be awesome if bluetooth voice dialing worked. I know adam got it to work in his supernova rom (at least reading through the thread it appears so).
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Fresh Serendipity flashes ftw!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I think that all you need is the Vode Dialer Thing that comes with JPY.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Dont worry man, just a bit of mess I brought in this thread. Its all sorted out now.
[Captivate Android Development] evostevo1:
I keep losing my themed market. Any thoughts how I can keep it?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You shouldn't lose it unless there's a new version of the market.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well we replaced the addons with the kitchen type thing Chance made.

Should be 200x easier to update the battery mods and whatnot.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] jozymozy:
Yeah, the only way that would be happening is if you were running an older version of serendipity, and kept trying to swap out the updated 'normal' market with an older themed one. It would just keep on auto-updating every time you swapped it out.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
+1 for chance, looks nice
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Can someone tell me how I can copy the keyboard from di11i's rom. Is it as simple as copying certain system files with root explorer? I would love to have the MTM Black out green keyboard in this rom. It would go so well with the rest of the theme.

I picked on that's lightweight, fast, and simple.

You can use whatever you want after that.

[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
If that's=what's I understand you. But zeam is using 20mb less memory with more stuff than what i had on the standard launcher.

And is a bit zippier, to me
[Captivate Android Development] thejonesyboy:
Please don't ever change the theme for this rom.

It's perfect.

Themes from other roms are... well they are just horrible. Misplaced horrible icons and weird colours. I don't get it. Do people like the crowded multi coloured offerings in other roms? I would think that most roms get overlooked purely because of their horrible horrible themes. End rant.

Other than that the features of Serendipity are spot on, my battery lasts about 40 hours (with wifi only on when needed) and it runs flawlessly smooth.

Well done MikeyMike01, you are the man.

Seems a lot of people don't use bluetooth. But Serendipity works great with it. Just download the voice dialer to the phone and move it to system\apps with root explorer and enjoy. Maybe the new kitchen will allow this????? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
new kitchen looks great
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
Android's theme took some getting used to. At first I thought it looked puke Green and I thought Google was trying to be different from Apple and it's cool some people will like it, but I was a bit horrified at first. Once I accepted it I learned to like it. I did try to mash a bunch of elements I liked from different themes into Serendipity, but I gave up after flashing too many times. It wasn't worth my time.

I was thinking one day I'll open up Serendipity and change all the green to a nice red or yellow or some color to suit my tastes.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I have a question, it says there's a feature of call recording in 5.8.

Can someone tell me how to actually use that? Thanks :)

What kernal is included in this?
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
Looks like the most polished ROM I have used thus far.

It appears the net mask bug is present in Serendipity 5.8 on Enterprise wifi networks.

Has anyone found a solution? Im unable to set a static since I have multiple vlans setup accross numerous cisco access points. Anyone else on a school or work class C wireless network having issues?

A couple of versions back, but it doesn't matter. Flash Serendipity (if you haven't already) and update the SpeedMod kernel at will.

A nice red would look awesome, that's for sure. Green is fine too.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Instead of 25 smali files changing (incredibly messy), only one smali file changed, and only about 50-100 lines of it.

Apparently this allows call recording once again, but I have not tried it.

I made an update.zip file to automate restoring serendipity stock (opaque) notifications with CWM -- my first one actually. It worked for me, so if it works for others maybe they'll add it to the kitchen.

Question/request for either Mikey or Chance. Have you guys thought about themeing the Google Talk app to all black background to match the Gmail/Market themes you did?

I use the Gtalk app extensively and would love to save a little juice by having it be black.

Any reason the notifications menu doesn't have a clear all button ?
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
You have nothing to clear...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yeah. The fact of the matter is, eveh if they came out with an update, I'd probably be runing a custom one.

But, where the issue is, I suspect, is that as a result of the poor support, the DEV community is smaller, and moving away. Mikey's comments earlier seem to indicate he will not be working with Samsung in the future.

So, then, no DEV community will really dry up the Samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Quite sad really. I hope serendipity gets to a final bug free point before he leaves lol.
