because the iPhone is so popular, it's actually easier to find and apply themes and there are no restrictions once you Jailbreak it. Plus, it's sleek, slim and looks awesome. and girls like it

The Captivate is also sleek, slim, and looks awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The SAMOLED screen in front of me is nothing short of horse crap.

Everything looks terrible.

And it's been the same on all three Captivates.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Is that issues with the specific phone in your hands? Or all of the cappys? Cause I love my screen
[Captivate Android Development] gil516:
I was thinking the same myself. I have messed with motorola droids and htc evos and other high end phones, and the super amoled screen is unequaled. as long as there are great roms for future samsung phones, like serendipity, i will stick withe samsung too.:(
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
I'm not technically knowledgeable and don't know what to look for, but what is wrong with the SAMOLED screen? The only thing I've ever compared the SAMOLED screen to was with somebody's Droid and we both agreed the droid's screen didn't look as good as the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] rdunseith:
Mine has looked great since I got it. Looks even better with your rom on it. You have done fantastic work!!! Thanks for all the updates!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I've found the Kernel has alot to to do with it. SpeedMod and Suckerpunch though very nice Kernels tend to make my screen looked washed out, not sharp. The older GlitterBalls 1.28 Kernel looks great on my phone and everything looks muck crisper. i also use Galaxy tuner to tweek a little further
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Gradients and solid colors have all kinds of mess in them.

This is from the Engadget review of the Nexus S where they pointed this out:

Beyond that, text looks like ****. It's overly bright. Everything is oversaturated.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
Glitterball's kernal does look crisper and brighter, but I thought it might be sacrificing battery life and so I stuck with SpeedMod's kernal. I think I'm going to switch to Glitterball's kernal for the weekend and test the battery life.

I was actually stunned a couple days ago when I unplugged my phone in the morning and twelve hours later I still had 65% battery life with Serendipity/SpeedMod. Hopefully, Glitterball's kernal will perform as well.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
At least the blacks are really black. Infinite contrast ratios lawlawlawlawl
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
I shouldn't have asked...

Great, now I'll keep looking for solid colors and odd color gradients. lol

I like the bit of oversaturation. It makes everything vibrant and the black levels are great. I can't tell where the black screen and bezel meet.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I agree with you on the gradients looking really weird but for the rest it's how I'd like my screen. The text part doesn't look as bad as most phones, the brightness is great for outdoor viewing (I do this quite often walking between classes), and the over saturation isn't noticeable to me. I'll buy another SAMOLED in the future. Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I compared the htc inspire with my cappy (pic of darth vader). Hands down my cappy was much better. I guess I should have compared a bright colored pic.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
My screen is awesome, never noticed any of that until mikey pointed it out. but I still had to get my phone REALLY close to my eyes to see it at all.

Think mikey is making mountains from mole hills
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
yep, now I see it on the AT&T logo every time it reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Agree. At the distance I use the phone it's hard to notice the gradients.

I guess it's the price I pay for unmatched contrast.

color accuracy is something I will save for my ultra sharp at home.
[Captivate Android Development] rdunseith:
Thanks for pointing that out...Gradients do like messed up close up. Never really paid attention until you pointed it out. Now I need a new phone;)
[Captivate Android Development] Kionic:
Ah..interesting.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm just curious if anyone here has done a side by side comparison of the SAMOLED and the Super LCD like on the inspire?

Hey Mikey I have a feature request..

Version 2.3.3 of the kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808286 includes the current fix.

If you are using another kernel, and the dev hasn't included the fix yet, PM them and request the feature.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
are you updating from 5.8?
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
What feature are you requesting?
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
yes correct. Trying to do the 5.8 to 5.9 update

Im doing everything like I always have so I dont know why their is problems. I figured it was the file but apparently not if it is working for others

[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
the only reason that it would fail is if you were not previously running 5.8.. or you are trying to flash multiple updates without rebooting
[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
Ill double check, I appreciate your support
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I see. It seems speedmod has not added this. I will raise it in their thread.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I just flashed to stock...oh hey there 5.9 ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] jaydeekay:
How do you get the black and blue swype? My first time installing a theme...
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
I agree. The Atrix looks the goods with its qHD resolution screen. The locked bootloader will definitely be a issue.

Im tossing up between the Atrix and the Galaxy S 2. Disappointed that the S 2 doesnt have qHD resolution.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
No way in HELL would I consider the Galaxy S 2... Right back where you are with the Captivate... SCREW THAT

HTC Inspire or Motorola Atrix ... dont even consider getting the S2 please...

BTW the bootloader does not stop custom roms/themes.... It only stops running modified kernals..

See my "WTB HTC Atrix" comment. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I'm good for now... really happy with my Captivate now that the stock rom is history... (thanks Mikey and team!)

I really do love HTC devices (this is my first non-HTC device in a looonnnnggg time) but the Inspire isn't a big enough jump for me to switch...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Do I need to be on the same kernel as shipped on 5.8 to use the 5.9 update? I have GlitterBalls kernel on it now.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Nope.

Play with whatever kernel you wish...
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
Mikey can you please post the original mms program you preloaded with serendipity 5.6 turns out I like it way better than the samsung one and wish to flash back and can't seem to obtain it from the zip file and flash it And thanks again for a kick ass rom
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
Remember that the S 2 is

Quad band

3G and has 850 3G. So get the

international

version and you're good to go.

Dont wait for an AT&T crippled version.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's inside of the 5.1 to 5.2 zip.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You'll just get the standard Samsung crippled version.

Never again.
[Captivate Android Development] coolren:
wasn't 4g enough for me. i'm running serendipity 5.8 and the thing is smooth and fast. my speedtest.net app results were the same or better when i tested it in the store. thanks mikeymike for saving me some money.

i got a 4g cappy now :)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Even if you buy an Inspire/Atrix, AT&T's network is not HSPA+ yet, so it would be as good or worse.
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
you reckon mikey? all i9000's had full hsupa enabled. at&t told samsung to disable hsupa so the iphone 4 users wouldnt complain about the lack of bandwidth.

the uk and european versions were fine (compared to the captivate), as this is samsungs priority market.

i had second thoughts about the s 2 but more confident now.. i think.. samsung though, they're definitely a pain in the neck.

atrix hmmm s 2 hmmm! :confused:

Speedtest.net app

I was wondering if anyone has the same problem I do with not being able to finish a speed test using the speedtest.net app. The download portion works fine and I get great speeds, but when I get to the uploading portion of the test it always stops at some point and never finishes. This isnt a big deal at all since it makes no difference to the functionality of the phone, but I was wondering if it was just me.

Thanks for this great rom. Going from stock to this is a night and day difference thank you very much for your work on this rom.

If I have the speedmod kernel installed with all the fixes and ext4 what do I have to do to use the speedmod recovery? I put the zip listed in the 3rd post renamed as update and I got all kinds of write errors and a speed mod recovery boor loop. I wanna take advantage of the clickable menu while doing all thus flashing. Ty

SGH-i897 | Serendipity 5.9 | Speedmod K13b | JK4
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
That isn't a 'speedmod recovery', that's the Steam recovery, totally different kernel. You don't rename it anything, just download it and install it via the SGS Kernel Flasher.

But understand this - you don't need to have a special kernel to have a 'clickable' recovery menu, that's built right into the Serendipity ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Rooting the device is one thing.....cracking the locked bootloader is quite another.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Sorry, I've been up a while. I meant steam. I've always had the txt based menus in recovery using the vol buttons to select. How is that built into this rom?

I'm not experiencing any problem. Smoother launcher around, constantly improving.. I'm very happy with it.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Is there any easy way to switch back to the original serendipity theme? Or am I going to have to re-flash serendipity, and have it wipe everything?

Yes. I'm talking about a push button ui within the RECOVERY Mode, like Steams

SGH-i897 | Serendipity 5.10 | Speedmod K13b | JK4

I think he means having a touchscreen recovery menu, as opposed to the volume and power buttons

[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Well, I have never used steam myself, but I think GB has a steam kernel, and all you'd have to do is flash it through the sgs-kernel-flasher app and you'd be good to go.

But again, never used steam myself, so I can't help too much
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
I did that but it wouldn't install without a bunch of write errors. Thought is was a conflict with lags? I dunno. I shouldn't have ro disable should I?

I've always disabled lagfixes, when changing kernels, also delete the voltage control settings if you were UV before

Just like the flow chart said. "Flash ROM With Clockwork Mod"> "Is It Working?"> "Yes"> "Enjoy"

Was hoping for an easy switch. Only the second ROM I've tried but I just keep hearing great things about it. Had to try it out. Only thing I didn't reinstall with TiB was Launcher Pro since that came with Cognition. Not sure if it would have caused issues installing that with settings. Thought I would just manually install that if I decide to use it.

Can't tell you how glad I am it worked first try. :)
