Music Player Skips?

Hey, has anyone else's music player skipped a lot while playing music? I tried Google Navigation while playing music, I could hardly stand it because it skipped so much. I tried the same song on Double Twist and it didn't skip once. :confused:

Anyone else have this problem? Other than that, I'm loving 5.12!
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
Nah, I haven't done that yet. I'm still on the speedmod kernel. Not really sure how to upgrade the kernel. I'll have to do some reading.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
You are not creating a new ROM using the kitchen, only tweaks to a couple of apks that can be replaced via CWM. Couldn't be much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Maybe this will help:

Download the kernel from here to your phone: http://www.multiupload.com/5702VWI06O

Reboot into Recovery.

Using the volume button, scroll down to "install zip from sdcard."

Press the power button to select.

Scroll down to "choose zip from sdcard."

Press the power button to select.

Navigate to the location of the downloaded paragon-1200-100hz-0215-2214-cwm.zip

Press the power button to select the file.

Kernel installs.

Reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
I have included the colored settings from the kitchen to my add-on package but it only colors the extended menu, no? Not the shutdown menu (reboot, flight mode, ect) nor the settings soft-key options (preferences, applications, search, ect).

--------------------------------------------
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
...but it only colors the extended (settings) menu, yes.
[Captivate Android Development] apewall:
I would say try recalibrating the battery first. I get around 24 hours of battery life under moderate usage and am using the latest speedmod kernel.

I have not had any data signal drops myself, especially nothing that requires me to pull the battery over. What type of data and what does it do if you go to manually search for a data network?
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:

Yes.. Skips like crazy ever since I've been on custom roms.

Can someone post an email apk? I cannot access the kitchen from my mobile phone

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
So through the kitchen this screens cannot be changed? This is all I'm looking to make adjustment to! What is the apk name of this screen?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I'll post the one from the kitchen in a sec.

Edit: Added it, its a CWM flashable, straight from the kitchen :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
thanks AR. For someone I do not see the build button on the kitchen
[Captivate Android Development] steelcity:
new to flashing roms and kernels,

does flashing a new kernel affect the data on the phone (settings, apps)??

and is this supposed to have better battery than the current kernel that came with 5.12?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
No and yes.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
No problem, it was hidden on my phone for a while too, but eventually it started working
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
I did the same and have had drastic improvements! Paragon for me for the meantime!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Chance made it phone compatible at some point, I think.

I wouldn't know... The addons are for things I don't want... xD

[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
for the 1300 one ive been using 50,50,50,100,100,100 and its been great
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I may be doing something wrong, but I don't see how I can be.

I'm running 1200 with,

-125

-125

-150

-150

-150

-150

And so far it's stable. Is that normal? I had a freeze when I pushed the 1000 and 1200 down to -150, but otherwise it's been fine.
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
I set all mine to the initial recommended -100 for all levels on the 1200mhz kernel and have no problems. I did not, though, run any of the recommended tests. I set it and forget it. Should I make changes and run tests?? The larger the number change is better, or the other way around?
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
For me, the best way to check stability is the camera test. I open the camera and switch to camcorder and back to camera continuously like a mad man. If it freezes, 3 button reset and take the undervolting down a notch.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Yes, i have the same question!!

I used xdahgary's settings, and tried to do the tests but they seem to never end! (yes, i'm a bit inpatient :( )

Also, is there anything extra I need to do besides set everything with the voltage control app, or just set it to remain the same when rebooting it?

P.S. Sorry Mikey for hijacking your thread again for something that's not strictly Serendipity :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
lawl. The stability test app never ends! It will keep pushing your cpu endlessly. The guide was to check if it will crash after 20 mins of running it.

Set the voltage control and you're done.
[Captivate Android Development] askjay:
Same results at the battery life with this upgrade
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Perfect! Thanks sooo much!!!!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] :
So 4.3 has been stable for me this whole time (I need stability because I use it for personal/work all day long), so stable that I havent upgraded... but the last two days my phone just randomely shuts off. Ill think to myself, "I havent gotten a text or phone call in the last 30 minutes" and Ill check and sure enough, its off. I dont use an uv/oc kernel (current kernel is in the sig), so its weird that my phone has been acting like it is.

I think this may be the shove that forces me to finally upgrade to 5.12 (now watch Mike come out with a brand new rom from the ground up)
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Let me cut to the chase. Exchange it. Nothing more, nothing less will do. It's a device power management issue that's been dealt with in recent device production runs. AT&T issued a release with the "suspect" IMEI numbers. A Google search should help zero in on the release.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Hmm, I just looked it up and found this:

I just looked at my IMEI number and Im below 5394 so I fall under that criteria. I just dont want a refurbished Captivate coming my way...

Thanks for the info though. At least now I know its not random or isolated.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
First, sorry Mikey for this OT post. It's important.

There are mixed feelings about refurbs. Some believe that they may not have the original "problem" fixed, and others believe that the devices receive extra attention because it's a one-on-one vs. production line exam.

Regarding the shutdowns themselves, even one is too many. I'm sure you have family or friends who rely on reaching you in an emergency and you want to be there for them...not to mention other important calls. My suggestion is: don't settle. Exchange the phone. The shutdowns will not go away.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Interestingly enough, just in the last two days I've had my first reboots. Not shutdowns, the phone has rebooted. Never happened before. I can't wait, Mike, for a new version that deserves a full flash.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I started work on a JS5 build... It's root'd, deodex'd, etc. Haven't worked on it in a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
What are the benefits of using different builds? I understand there's a difference between the 2.2 roms and the 2.2.1 ones, but how about amongst the different 2.2.1 builds?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I don't know what a JS5 build is, anyone care to enlighten me? :)
[Captivate Android Development] :
I want something that I can use with the Captivate noice cancelling and Ive heard great things about the reception with the KB1 modem. But for Mikey's rom, I have to use an i9000 kernel/modem... the price we pay for perfection.

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Hurry the eff up. I want to see what you can do with js5

Adam, you obviously know what is means, could you please tell us, or point us in a direction where we can learn?
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
Can anyone tell me how I can decrease the wake up lag I have on my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Edit: Lets just go with Mikey's answer vv :D
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The current ROM is built on JPY.

JS5 is the latest Froyo leak for the i9000... They have dozens of leaks, including the new Gingerbread one.

That's why I'm looking at getting the (fully AT&T compatible) international Samsung Galaxy S 2. It just has to work reasonably well, be easily hacked, and I'm sold.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
JS5 is just a different incremental build of android it is still 2.2.1

some have said that the animations are much smoother in JS5.

It's just a different ROM base. Essentially every mod has to be re-implemented in the new framework.

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't know if redone is the right word... More like re-implemented.

Tedious either way.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That sounds about right
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
When is the SGS2 coming out? I might have to switch too
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't think anyone knows. I've seen anything from March to May.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I was just over reading through the SGS2 thread, I have a deep desire for this phone now. I read the same thing about the release, but I think I am going to wait a little while after it's released and just order it on another line on my plan (if I can, if not just wait a little for the price to drop). Because the link below is rediculous.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/4203/samsung-galaxy-s-ii--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-

-Same thing happened with my cappy, I bought it for like $250 in Jan, then it went down to 150 this month
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The preorder prices have been going up and up and up with the demand increasing.

When all is said and done you should be able to get it for a reasonable price like $500-600.

The current SGS is $500 on Amazon.

You won't be able to buy it from AT&T. Perhaps a gimpy version will come at a later time, but who wants a Captivate 2?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Well, I will be waiting a month or two after the release, to let the price deflate some, because I am about to start college, and I really have no money to spare. But the more I read about it, the deeper in love I fall.

Anyway. Sorry for crowding the Serendipity thread with this :p
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
For those with the paragon kernel.....did you make any changes to get better batt life or were the settings it came with in terms of volt/clocking good enough to boost your batt life? I love this ROM but gotta do something about the batt life.....

flashing right now and gonna try it tomorrow without any changes pending all your input :)
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
When I used paragon (before SP #53), I had it UV'd to my usual levels.

1200 -25

1120 -50

1000 ~ 400 - 75

200 -125

100 -150
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I did nothing but flash the base 1200 version and left it alone. It's definitely better on the battery. I hope hardcore can do something about SpeedMod, but so far people in that thread seem to be discounting the issue.

Thx for all who replied. I will try to re run the account setup later when I have some free time.

Gonna try out SP #53 tomorrow. Gotta feed the addiction.

Is the SGS II gonna have horrible gps too? Egh

Seems alright. Not that much better.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Great -- thanks. I just flashed and I have to say, it's a lot snappier out the box. My settings menu opens faster and everything is snappier. Very cool. I'll try it out tomorrow just as flashed and if it isn't acceptable, will give your settings a shot. Thanks! what app do you use to change your voltages?

:D
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
SGS2 is looking really good. Like, really really good. Basically everything that the original Galaxy S should have been. Except in all honesty I don't NEED an upgrade. Also, I know when AT&T rolls out the LTE network I'll be wanting a new phone then as well.
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
way off topic I know. But some of you were talking about it.

I have in my posession, both the HTC Inspire, and the Motorola Atrix with laptop dock. I still want the Galaxy S II. If I had to choose between one of these two I would go with the HTC. The Atrix is a fast phone but the dock is almost useless.

[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Just wanted to say to Mikey that I cannot find a better ROM then this and thanks to him for making a kick ass ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Still the same resolution, but supposed to be sharper from the higher sub-pixel density.

Hopefully some domestic retailer is gonna offer the phone at a decent price off contract.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Technically, I suppose so. But that's not doing it justice. For those that don't know:

The (s)AMOLED screen (and any other PenTile screen) uses two sub pixels per pixel.

3 pixels looks like this:

[..R..][G] [..B..][G] [..R..][G]

The sAMOLED+ screen uses RealStripe and has 3 sub pixels per pixel.

The same 3 pixels looks like this:

[R][G] [R][G] [R][G]

480x800x2 = 768,000 subpixels

480x800x3 = 1,152,000 subpixels

The same 480x800 screen has double the sub-pixels. Grainy text and other problems will no longer plague the SGS 2.

I don't have a clue what was involved in solving this haptic on home bug, but I am impressed! At the very least, MM01 listened to us and went a digging.

Great work bro. You're definitely one of the most responsive devs out there!!

---Edit---

But you ruined my damn bad ass Gen X theme with the Epic unlock screen. I expect you to fix that!!! J/K :D

But you would be my daddy's daddy too if you get me a Epic unlock screen with haptic on home.

I'm going to do just that. In fact, I think I have a good chance of him doing it too...I asked him to give me an Epic lockscreen with the original circle and arrow and he did...I'll post an update if he is willing/able to do it.

Thanks, bro. Again, excellent work.

Exynos most likely, it will be the more common of the two as it will be sold in the major makets. Secondary markets will be given the Tegra 2 and possibly an LCD screen too. Like what they do in Russia currently.

Paragon Kernel Report

Ok, I've been running the Paragon kernel now for two days or so. I do see improved battery life. I have also had the phone randomly reboot three times now - not shut down, but reboot, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, never happened on SpeedMod.

What I don't see is cell standby at 50% ever, that was a frequent occurrence on SpeedMod 13c.. That seems to be the key battery drain for SpeedMod 13c. My next step is to roll back to SpeedMod 12u and see if the cell standby thing starts back up again.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Anytime you boot up the phone, toggle airplane mode on for 20 seconds and then turn it off. The cell standby at 50% won't be an issue until the phone is rebooted, at which point you just do it again.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I never had the 50% issue until I started messing with different modems and also forcing 850 in service mode.... I'm using JL3 now and noticed it after I rebooted this morning.
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Wow. I have been running Serendipity for about a week now. Previously I had been on Cog and Perception. The speed and stability of this rom are awesome. I absolutely love how you can configure different packages from the website. That makes for a very customizable ROM. I still haven't even flashed a new kernel yet, but everything is working wonderfully. Great job! Keep it up with the different packages from your website. I love it!
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Gingerbread look please?

I would greatly appreciate if the creators give a thought about introducing the gingerbread look/theme into the serendipity ROM. :)

Apparently it's the latest 'shiz' and I would very much like to see my captivate being all ginger-bready; without having to flash a different ROM- I love Serendipity way too much to flash some other ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I don't know if anyone has said what the cause is. I've had it as long as I can remember if I don't toggle airplane mode on reboot. Maybe like you said it's just from flashing one thing over another over another. I'm using KP1 modem and have it, used JK4 and had it, same with JL2.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
awesome. That's pretty much my dream phone right there. I hate not having a flash. Plus, I would love to load 1080p movies onto my phone and be able to play thme back on my dad's plasma tv when I visit. Just whip out my phone from my pocket and BAM, instant enjoyment for everyone!
