yea i know about boot screen and yes i have flashed it that way more then once and still got force close,s I got it to stick finaly and scared to try again O.O.

OFC i am the kinda guy who kept reading and tring a new way till i got it.

I went from speedmod to old steam to new steam all by way of SGS kernel flasher.

I did hedmil and SGS kernel flasher more then a few times before and it would bootloop or forclose most everything. untill last flash. and yes i used UNFUGU

I would be willing to do again seems this steam kernel is worth the trouble.

Hey, so I've been having a problem that every time i use the market it reverts to the stock green I tried deleting the market updater and reflashing the bluedipity theme buy nothing and actually the market disappeared but the vending.apk is still in /system/app but it won't install. Someone help please :(

I'm feeling serendipitous...

I posted in the Q&A thread, but now it's getting obnoxious. My phone keeps going into silent mode. Constantly. I take it out, and then I'll hear the bzzzzzzt and it's back in silent mode. It just did it now and it's sitting on the charger with the screen off, I'm not touching it. What could possibly cause this?

Figured it out. It was Busy Me, a new little program I installed that works with the calendar to shut off the phone when the calendar marked 'busy'. Guess it needs more work ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Ya I tried it and it didn't work that's why I deleted it but now I don't have a market period it's in system/app but it won't install

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yes. Without the source you can't do much with kernels. It's why we don't have any Gingerbread ROMs even though we have i9000 leaks to build from... no kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] xpeppyx:
Could we use a cm7 kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
No. I'm not entirely sure why though.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
How come every time I uninstall an app I have to clear market data to get my apps to show up in the market? Sometimes it happens for no reason. Others it just shows my paid apps, and sometimes it shows all apps downloaded but it says free as if they are not installed. The Market is whacky lately.

stk.apk

is this the right sim tool kit that was remove in serendipity rom?

can someone shed some light on where to install this? pushing it with

root explorer? whats the right directory to install this?
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Maybe because they use open source drivers for the components and Samsung framework in the i9000 Gingerbread looks for the Samsung drivers in the kernel.

Another market issue is - everything downloads very slowly on my cappy but on my HTC desire it takes a quarter of the time. Any fixes?

Just saw the new Dragon rom by DAGr8. It has 7 lock screens, lock screen wallpaper, and music controls on all lock screens.

Mikey, can we has too?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I, four one, don't want music controls on my lockscreens, I don't ever listen to music on the phone.

Would a fresh flash of 6.4 clear up the issues with the market and time w/o signal bugs. I just barely started noticing them. But in the past week I flash JQ1, Speedmod k13e, and the 6.4 update. I cleared cache and dalvik. Could any of these cause it?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The time without signal bug is prevalent in every ROM, and is not even Captivate-specific.

The market works fine if you clear the data... Reinstalling is beyond overkill.

im going to flash this rom... im coming from cognition... my one question is whats a good stock kernel (currently using the overstock kernel)... i was wondering can i use that kernal and if so which modem should i use

I flashed 6.4 on 100 (or 99)% charge and my battery never goes above 97%. Is there a way to fix that? I've charged, turned off and changed, and then turned on and charged again and wiped batt stats afterwards...
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Sorry, I have to say it - oh, no, not this again. The battery stops itself from overcharging. If anything, Serendipity suffers from a too-accurate battery meter. Don't worry about it. It does charge to 100%, and then it drops back - it's a feature, not a flaw.

Strange radio problem at boot

I don't know if this is Serendipity or a generic problem but thought I'd ask.

If I start the phone when it's docked (e.g. car dock) the radio will not start up. I have to disconnect the phone from the dock, boot the phone and then put the phone in the dock for it to work.

This is "stock" 6.4 and I noticed it on earlier versions as well. I've got to say, Serendipity is the only thing that made me keep this phone. So THANK YOU for that!
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Okay is it just me? My GPS is just not responding (not giving any reads to any app) anymore after i flashed 6.4. :S I have the default speedmod kernel.

I was hoping 6.4 would resolve this issue but it hasn't. whenever i get a call, it rings once, drops the call and my phone says no service for the next 2 minutes.

In 6.3, i couldn't even make an outgoing call without it instantly saying no service, but that was fixed in 6.4. I still can't receive calls though, has anyone else had this?

It sounds as though you've had a bad flash or you've restored system settings. How are you flashing, with a full Odin back and a master clear?

How to flash updated Speedmod Kernal

I see that the latest Speedmod Kernal is k13e. I am on Serendipity 6.4 with the the Speedmod k13c Kernal. I would like to keep current, but have never updated a kernal before. Is it as simple as updating the ROM from say 6.3 to 6.4 where you just reboot into recovery mode and tell the phone to load a zip from the sdcard, find the new kernal and it loads, reboots and done? Or is there a different procedure?

Thanks so much.
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
You can either flash with Clockwork or use Odin. You need to download the correct version though. The directions on how to flash a kernel are normally in the first post of the kernel's thread.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yup, it really is that easy. You can also use the SGS Kernel Flasher Mike put in the app drawer, that works well, too.
[Captivate Android Development] jboz:
Thanks for the info. I thought maybe it could be more complicated. There were instructions on how to install using ODIN, but not using Clockwork. I also wondered about the SGS Kernal Flasher app. I am new to flashing ROMs and dont want to brick.

My wife's phone experienced sleep-death yesterday and upon restarting, the speaker is not functioning at all. I thought maybe it was somehow a kernel issue or a lingering issue from restoring system data in TiBu but after a complete fresh flash, it's still not working. Am I beating a dead horse and the speaker hardware is bad or is it possible there is some software glitch that may cause this?
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
does anyone know if plumb bob 1.1 works with Serendipity 6.x? I tried 2.0 B11 and it destroyed GPS so i reverted to 6.3 but the GPS is still quite bad. Don't want to go through the whole process again if it doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Speakers known to have issues. Try pushing on it.

Do not restore system data. Restore app data fine, not system data.

Try clean flash, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. restore nothing. Kernel can cause issues. which kernel is it exactly you are/were using?
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
yummmm... :p It does sound quite delicious. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
1.1 worked fine on mine, but I found it only made a marginal difference, then when we went to 6.4, the GPS was fine, so I left it alone. This seems to be very subjective, each Captivate seems to have a mind of its own WRT GPS. I've had relatively good luck with it, others haven't.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It was talked about a couple weeks ago, dead in the water. Mikey said something about it being a strain on the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I couldn't get GPS to work with Serendipity 6.4 and Plumbbob. As a matter of fact, some of the files seemed to be left behind and I couldn't get good GPS with any of the fixes after that (even reverting to fixes that did work earlier), so I had to Nandroid restore to an earlier backup.

I've had pretty good results with the Adams fix and Serendipity 6.4. Paragon 6 too. But straight out of the "box", no. As always YMMV.

I am watching this thread and the Serendipity website hoping and praying for a Gingerbread flavor of Serendipity! WOOT WOOT! :D
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
If you feel is kernel related you could flash a different one and go back later. About 2 weeks ago I apparently had pissed my phone off royally, it was doing all sorts of weird crap. So I switched from Onix2.xx to Paragon 1280 for a couple days, cleaned up the mess, updated my launcher and apps I had been ignoring. Reinstalled Onix2.xx and all was well. I haven't had SD or CD issues with Onix or SP but it appears some have, trying a different kernel will be a easy diag.

The speaker issue ( if not due to some kernel issue or something) is in the General or Q & A section mentioned a few times ... just read a topic about it a couple days ago... but I'll be damned if I remember where it was.

Quick search http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=67422912 It was some those... man i know that's not much help.... I started at the last pages and was reading forward .... boredom you know...lol...
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
AMOLED screens have a tendency to have burn in. Mine does have a slight issue with the AM/PM that you can see on white backgrounds but it's very faint. Having essentially static and white signal/wifi/battery icons will get them burnt in quickly. I assume this is why the notification bar changed from white to pure black for the Nexus S/Gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
LOL...I used a flashlight app that was just a plain white screen and very very lightly I see PM in the corner. Never noticed it before. Also I haven't had a clock there since Serendipity 6.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Neckrobeard:
When I change to another app from texting or something I can still see the outline of keys from the on screen keyboard. Burn in is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
How long are you guys leaving your screen on that you have burn in like that? I don't use white anywhere so maybe that is part of the problem, but I would still think you would have to have the screen on for extremely long periods of time with static images to get that kind of burn in.
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
Finally I can post here. This is the best ROM ever for Captivate. No force closes, very stable, no kernel panics, nothing wrong. Battery life is the bomb too. Finally I can go DAYS with light use without having to charge it up. Finally my Captivate has the same battery life as my old Blackberry.

Its included however, you have to download the app from the market to change the settings. Also, if you want to disable it, you have to do so in recovery for it to be permanent. If you disable it from the app, you'll have to do it again when you reboot.

I just converted from cognition to serendipity and i am loving it! the only trouble i have is the facebook calendar sync.

[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Refer to OP and download battery mod for the ROM version you are running. It replaces the battery icon in the notification bar. Save it to your internal SD and run zip from Steam/CWM.

As far as BLN, go to the market and download "BLN Control". Use this to disable BLN and your soft keys will no longer light up for notification.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Facebook Sync

Im not sure but if you go to Settings>Accounts and Sync> Add an Account, it says Facebook is already integrated. Its what I use to sync my contacts and calendar. Then when I install the real Facebook app it asks me if I want to sync contacts, I hit no.

I would suggest you do it this way because if you do if from the Facebook app, it doesn't sync calendar, plus it doesn't show the fb icon in the contacts app. Also, if you do both, fb account from setting and fb sync from app, you'll get duplicated contacts and a weird icon.
