[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
That's something I too found strange. After like 1-2 days of using it, I notice a considerable lag, though my processes have always been the same, and amount of free memory is also the same.

Now that I loaded Zeam, if the lag re-occurs in 2 days from now, I would safely assume LauncherPro isn't the culprit. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
How are the customization options with Zeam? Can you change dock bars and dock icon styles on it like with LP?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
This is supposedly a minimal launcher, but I found it more than that. But we can customize the dock part, and the screen part. Not too many options, but I found the available options more than enough for my usage.

We can increase or decrease icons in dock, and the spacing between them.

Also can change number of screens between 1 and 7.

Can assign actions to swipes like swipe down, swipe up, etc.

Can set the number of rows and columns.

Other options like elastic scrolling, wallpaper scrolling, icon stretching are also present.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Hmm, I'll have to give it a try :)

And for your LP lagging, did you have phone animations turned on? I always keep mine turned off. Not sure if that could be the cause of the lag. If you had them turned off then my theory is debunked! :p
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
:-) That's one of the first steps in my setup on any rom - turning off all animations.

Edit: By the way, I cud set this zeam home up exactly the same way how my launcher pro screen looked.
[Captivate Android Development] roger_n:
Thanks diablo I guess I can live with it I was just curious if someone had a fix.

Roger :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
if you just flashed and its hanging like that, just reboot and it should fix it.

it happens to me and my wifes phones maybe once a month, at most, mines obviously running my rom, and shes currently running stock ji6(she refuses to let me mess with her phone any more-unless i can guarantee it will be identical to how it was when i started lol)

and i got a special kernel i just made specifically for diablo, im testing right now hot off the press, will post it if everything is ok.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Thanks for all your hard work. Lookin forward to more.

Confirmation number: 257115766F696170C.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you da man..

and heres the kernel-small optimizations

ALL hardcores screen settings removed

replaced with voodoo color and sharpness

diablo, let me know how this is. youll deff notice a huge difference in brightness when you first flash this, and may have to adjust accordingly.

if the build number is not updated in settings, dont worry its the right version.

ill update it in the version officially released in rom

i cant remember if last one was v5#2 or #3, but this is v5#3

probably be a small update tomorrow, maybe slim some size off framework(possibly by removing some of the batt images(im using the circle batt sites 100 charge anims, there only needs to be around 20ish for a smooth charge anim, but maybe they will stay), possibly add the 5th lock screen since some have asked for it, this is if i feel like adding and recompiling everything so well see. some other minor things that i will post if they get added/done or not tomorrow possibly.

oh plus the new kernel will be added possibly with some other versions if i have time.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Thanks man. I'll flash this tomorrow. Am right now in 'test' mode for lag. Been 0.5 days since it started. Need another 1.5 days to come to a conclusion.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
I usevto aware by launcher pro, but after using the gingerbread launcher for a while, I don't know if I can go back to launcher pro, even though its more customizable. The included launcher is a lot smoother and never lags IMO.

The included one is green, I then themed it blue to match the blue theme and its included with that, and I may consider making other colors if anyones interested (maybe someone with photoshop skills can theme it more fully, I just did the launcher icons and button press background
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Love your ROM di11i. It's the best. The performance I get with it is just ridiculous. Everything is so smooth and responsive. Honestly, I don't think I could use any other ROM over yours. :D

My phone currently looks like an HTC. I've got the dock bar and everything (IDK why but I've always liked that HTC dock bar :confused:)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
+1

I have been thinking contemplating abt the Atrix based on its specs. But now being addicted to this ROM, I am not sure if the Atrix would be able to live up to my expectations :)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
*no words to show/express my appreciation*

Ok. Now, this does it! Put aside all my testing for later and flash dilli's new kernel. Crazy how I missed this post when I was on my XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Yes. This change would enable us to use even more variety of battery mods out there.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
I was thinking about getting the HTC Inspire if I could get close to $400 for my Captivate (Inspire is $399 off contract). But IDK now that my phone is rooted and running di11i's ROM because I love it, plus like I said I have all of the SENSE UI features running so it looks like an HTC phone. Performance-wise the Inspire probably isn't too far above the Captivate except for the fact it has 4G.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Same here. But I think dilli mentioned a few posts/pages earlier that he wasn't so 'inspired' abt the inspire and returned it. So I didn't give it a thought.

Atrix off contract is $499. I am getting it for $399 since I am hardly 6 months into my recently extended contract. But I think I will wait for some time before I go for it ( I got Captivate I think on 2nd or 3rd day of its release).

Edit: I presume AT&T means 'H' when they say 4G. I downloaded the 7.x MB kernel on 3G today and it was like 'so damn slow' compared to the usual download speeds I get on 'H'. I must say we are already on those speeds that AT&T is advertising as 4G phones based on the infrastructure of their network (this is of course if there has been any development that I am unaware of that really jacked up the speeds well beyond the ~3-4 mbps I get on 'H').
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Yeah I probably won't get it then. I've heard mixed reviews about the Atrix. I've heard some say it's a great phone but others say it is nothing special. I got my Captivate last October, I waited a while to get it because of all the issues with it shutting itself off when it first got released. I'm happy with it plus di11i's ROM is ridiculously good.

Edit: I really don't see the need to upgrade to 4G to be honest. Plus, don't you have to pay extra for it? My friend who has the Evo says he has to pay like $10 extra a month for 4G coverage.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Yes, but that was in Sprint at a time that was the only 4g device. I don't think AT&T would charge extra for 4g, given the lineup of 4g capable devices they are planning to get.

There are the terms I received (in case I wanted to upgrade):

$100 off MOTOROLA ATRIX(TM) 4G after instant rebate with qualified voice and data plan. Additional restrictions apply.

Requires a qualified 1-or 2-year service agreement for Corporate Responsibility Users (CRU) and requires a qualified 2-year service agreement for Individual Responsibility Users (IRU). Also requires activation on an AT&T voice plan with a Monthly Service Charge (MSC) of $39.99 or higher plus (i) for IRU customers a DataPlus Personal plan or other eligible data plan with MSC of $15 or higher; (ii) for CRU customers a DataPro Personal Plan or other eligible data plan with MSC of $25 or higher; or (iii) DataPro Enterprise plan or other eligible data plan with MSC of $40 or higher; or (iv) Smartphone International plan of $64.99/mo. or higher. On DataPro/DataPlus plans for Smartphone and iPhone, if you exceed your initial data allowance, you will automatically be charged an additional $10 for each additional 1GB provided on DataPro or an additional $15 for each additional 200MB provided on DataPlus. All data allowances, including overages, must be used in the billing period in which the allowance is provided. Access to corporate email, company intranet sites and business applications requires a DataPro Enterprise Plan. Offer cannot be combined with any other equipment promotion, discount or other offer. Subject to availability limitations. Sales tax calculated based on price of unactivated equipment. Limited time offer. Flat Rate plans, FamilyTalk and Add-a-Line are eligible. Offer runs until Monday, April 04, 2011 11:59pm EST.

I don't see any extra charge other than voice and data plan.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I was on min. brightness on xcal. I flashed this kernel u made 'specifically' for me, and wow, the first thing I could notice on boot is that brightness is literally unaltered. The brightness level at minimum seems to be literally the same as that I get on xcal/gb's kernels.

I hope this should be good, and looking forward to stick to this kernel going forward.

Thanks a bunch once again dilli.

See the thing Is it worked before but when I reflashed cuz of that landscape problem I was having it stopped syncing the pics in sms and mms

di11igaf's ROM --- Q&A

I created a new Q&A thread for our ROM and its themes so we may have one thread instead of everyone opening a different thread every other day.

Here it the link to it: link.
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
im always on the browser fb.. more then the actual app..

how would u sync thru the browser????
[Captivate Android Development] rjblack11:
my bad. I didnt even realize I had the fbook app. thats how I did it.
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
yeah it normally works for me too but it hasnt this time..

UPDATE: i fixed my FB syncing problem..

all i did was Remove the account then i added it again... lol easy fix..

glad i didnt go to serendipity... that rom looks like it kinda sux :p lol
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Before I go to 6.0 from 5.0.1 I am wondering if I need to go back to JI6 for the whole id fix thing. Main reason I ask is a while back I noticed someone posting how to do the ID fix when going to a different ROM. I noticed differences when my model would say I897 vs this ROM that doesn't have that.

I know I can edit the build.prob but was wondering if anyone knows what thread I'm talking about.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
This already has an edited build.prop, everything will show as a captivate, not i9000.

And if your talking about your android id, this also has a script that will either makebyou a random android id(so everyones is different to avoid any market issues) or it will look for an update.id from your sd card that you can either put your actual android id in, and the script will insert it, or just do nothing and it will give you a random one by itselfso basically you don't have to do anything

When I try to set a Lockscreen Wallpaper from my Gallery I get the following message:

Sorry!

The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
It does not work with the included gallery, and if it did work, it would only work with stock samsung glass lockscreen
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
This is the best rom I have ever used and I have pretty much flashed them all. For me this rom has the best battery life, the highest benchmark scores(i know it doesn't really matter), and the best functioning gps of any other rom. Not to mention the cool epic unlock screen with music controls and the call recording. Everything is finally perfect Thanks Di11i.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Ok, thanks di11i. I wasn't sure if it was just an issue my phone was having.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
ill try to find a gallery that i can get working with that unlock wallpaper feature that doesnt have the gallery battery drain bug
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Cool. Thanks a bunch di11i.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
How do I add ringtones/alarm/notification tones? I copied the .ogg files from another rom and they showed up in the list but they would not play.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
1. Create a folder called "ringtones" on ur internal or external SD.

2. Copy the mp3 files u want as ringtones into this folder.

3. Do any activity that would trigger a media scan. Once this is done, u will find ur ringtones loaded under ringtones in settings.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
what about .ogg files?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Note sure. Maybe u could give it a try.

Got this Q&A thread to be a sticky.
[Captivate Android Development] lokokool:
hello guys

I guess people are taking a break from installing Roms or you guys have a new thread and I don't know about it. 3 posts in almost one day. Is the end of the world... lol
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
No one really has problems with di11i's ROM I guess. This was the first ROM that I stayed on for more than two weeks without flashing another ROM :)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Right on.

U should see the Q&A thread I have created for this ROM in Q&A section. Not one post (with a problem) since I created it I think y'day.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Well its also cause this is the longest I've gone in a while without putting out an update. Lately with work, most of my time working on the rom happens on the weekends so thats most likely when ill put up updates, unless its critical or I get something done during the week.

Just picked up an atrix as well. So far, really impressed and its a really nice phone. It would be perfect (imo)without the encryped bootloader. Hopefully it gets cracked, but im not getting my hopes up
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I'm too hoping to pick up atrix by the weekend. Just now realized it can be rooted to take off all bloatware. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
Had the captivate for several months now..I'm far from bored with it..i don't see myself getting a new phone til at least the summer if that.. Besides a general unlimited data plan,i don't think I'm missing out on anything besides a front facing camera and 4G.. Probably just wait for the galaxy 2 line to be released..ima big fan now

Unless something else catches my eye by then of course

Samsung captivate running d11igaf 6.0
[Captivate Android Development] lokokool:
the atrix looks pretty nice. ATT service .... well i don't know. Sooner or later ATT will come with B.S and raise their service prices to use 4G.

I rather put another $100 and get the Archos 101 Internet tablet. Yes, I use ATT, but i don't pay for the bill. The company I work for does, including the International plan. I travel a lot. lol.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I don't think so. It would be an unwise move considering T-Mo is already reducing pricing for 4G. At the most, they may charge new customers/upgraders, but not existing ones. That would be violation of their own terms and conditions.

Btw, I am also contemplating about the Atrix. I am ok with locked bootloader since it adds to an additional layer of security, but well, it would be cracked sooner or later.

Not rom related, but just played with an atrix for a little. To be honest, not impressed at all. If I was thinking of changing, I am going to hold of for a while
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
On my way to do the same. You hear official 2.2 on the way too?
[Captivate Android Development] rjblack11:
ya tweeted out tomorrow. thats only 5 months late
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Haha, and it isn't like my phone is already on 2.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Problem with that is that the release is far behind the roms out

Atrix screen is borderline horrible. Internet browsing slow in comparison to captivate with rom. My captivate side by side kicked it's but, and it was not that close

Same here. Where did you try it out? Smith haven?

Wifi sometimes fails to work

The problem I am experiencing:

Sometimes, as my phone moves from one WiFi AP to next at work it associates with the AP fine but fails to get proper IP adress for itself or the gateway. When this happens I can not use internet at all, as the packets can not be properly routed. The problem may happen if I tun on the WiFi for the first time in the morning. This happens only at work never at home. The problem correct itself if I turn wifi off and on.

I used to have this problem when I was on stock ATT 2.1. Now it came back. I am using v6.0 with suckerpunch #51 kernel. I do not know if it is a kernel issue or ROM issue.

This seems to be a common problem, because there is an app called wifi reassociate to circumvent this issue. Bu I think there is a proper fix for 2.2. Any suggestions...

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] majortool:
I have this same problem at work too but I didnt research it enough to find work-around since 3g reception is ok in my office. I'll try it tomorrow to see if it works for me so to eliminate your phone.

Blue theme minor version 5a released

Link
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
EDIT- mcord you were right about browsing, did side by side tests on wifi and the captivate won pretty consistently. With app to qr- an app than generates all apps on the phone and relies pretty heavily on the cpu, thecaptitimes fastvate doesn't even stand a chance. Atrix will generate all apps on the phone 4-5 times faster, literally with the atrix having more apps on it(mine is still bone stock haven't had a chance to start messing with it yet. And this is still with the atrix probably using 1 core still.

I love the screen, I don't see why people are hating it. The text and images are clearer only thing is colors are not over saturated as on the captivate, and to me the screen is fine, plus it seems to be better in sunlight. Overall I am impressed with the phone, but moto has about 28 days left to address the bootloader issue, or it may be going back. Really the phone does not need an overclock AT ALL, fastest phone I've ever used bar none, but it would be nice if we could get hsupa going on it, and from what I've heard att may start enabling it on other phones besides iphones within a month or two, but im not holding my breath on this.

There will be an update this weekend, hopefully saturday. Possible new base as well, may have 2 different versions, i9000 base and 897 base
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Thanks dilli. That's a nice review without any bias. The other reviews I read ***edited by me for content and to not have flame wars***

Well, regarding speeds, I too thought so, theoretically. Cos my quad-core (2GHz) laptop performs better and faster than my other dual core (2.x GHz) laptop. So when someone published the linpack results the other day I wasn't surprised. Stock captivate was around 1300-1400, and he got 2700 on stock atrix (approx double that of captivate, and this cud be 'cos there are two processors now working in parallel).

And I need not worry abt media scanner taking up 100% CPU on phone start up cos the other core is now free to other tasks (assuming media scanner isn't using up both, which it shouldn't since 2.2 android is not tuned for making use of multi cores effectively).

Screen is no biggie 'cos a majority of users don't even notice the minute color differences in screen.

What I am looking for is now the battery review. Does it really hold charge for the stated 9 hours talk time on 3G. If it really does, I'd go for it first, cos on EDGE it would translate into ~15 hours talktime and provide ample standby time too.

By the way dilli, did AT&T again screw up with network settings and disable the option to switch between 3G and EDGE? I am still contemplating the Atrix if it would be worth the $400 upgrade for me, and well, waiting for ur next review too on battery life and other features.

Edit: How is the screen power utilization?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I will trust your opinion as my use was short and limited.

Won't make the purchase till boot loader is solved
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
@dilli:

Well, I understand we cannot apply any of these battery or any mod, for that matter on stock 2.2.

But, if we took the framework-res from atrix, and replaced the existing few battery images with more appropiate images (be it just 4 levels), and pushed that back, would it brick the phone. Is there any way to get it back to normal if this try was unsuccessful? I want to explore this option too, in case the boot loader is locked.
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
so i seen this today..http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=368733

is it worth the upgrade??
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Why downgrade to 2.2 when u r on 2.2.1 now.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
So diabl regarding batt lifeo, today with the atrix few minutes over 5hrs screen on time, 20 hrs unplugged still had 30% battery left. Most my captivate can get screen on time is MAX around 3hrs. So should be able to get around double of actual phone usage with the screen on, extremely good IMO. Brightness is around 40%. Not much talk time only about 10 min.

But in the 20 hrs there was 2 quadrant tests, about 20 linpack tests, 10 speed tests from speedtest.net app. Overall, very good, but kinda to be expected with the bigger batt, and it seems the screen uses about half the battery the captivate uses. In stock form, there's no way to toggle 3g/edge-i don't think, if there is its not obvious but I also have never done this on the captivate either. I do think there's widgets for this in the market, but im not positive. I did just root and enable tethering though, so now im gonna start messing with it and im sure there will be a way to do this.
