Exchange syncing has become a problem recently (on recent versions of Serendipity up to 5.5). Using either the standard email client or the Galaxy Tab one (which I prefer), they connect and download many emails but then update only rarely. Recent emails are missing, then some days later they might appear. In the Galaxy Tab email at times it shows "Connection Error" in a yellow bar at the top. Real frustrating

I used to be able to sync to the same Exchange using push or polling, and right now I can use a iPhone4 with push at it gets new emails just fine.

Anyone else having similar Exhange sync problems?

Is there a particular file that controls this syncing that has changed recently?

Any way I can check logs to see where the connection error is coming from?

I too notice images saved from the web are blurry. Didn't think it was rom related.

[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Activesync is controlled by the email.apk. You'd need to check the exchange server logs to see the errors you're getting. This is the apk that I use across all roms that I flash. I thought Mikey was using the same one, but I just compared hashes and they are different. I'm a network admin and I host an exchange 2010 server from home, as well as at work. I can confirm that this apk works with multiple exchange versions, as I sometimes add client servers for troubleshooting.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
As long as you have clockworks update.zip on your sd card just go into recovery and hit reinstall packages and that skips all the root steps...
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I am having the same issue here. its "presses" itself over and over.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
You could flash the services.jar from 5.3 to fix it. Of course you'll lose the lights upon screen touch fix. Ktlo is a better solution imo.
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
I'm on 5.4 and I use a bluetooth gps receiver along with an app called "bluetooth gps provider" when I try to enable the app's widget, I get a few vibrations and the phone doesn't even shut all the way down it just goes to the boot animation then to the lock screen. I was wondering if anyone wanted to try to duplicate it? I turn on the app using the widget it comes with.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
So it's not built into the ROM? Seems one of the ROM's had the update zip built into it but I can't remember. :o
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Thanks very much, I'll certainly give that one a go.

Any way to have that file controlling the sync, but allowing the Galaxy Tab client to control the interface? I use SGS Tools to get the Tab client and it might also be called email.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
I would love that as well, but not possible to my knowledge. Activesync is broken in the galaxy tab version. I wish I had the knowledge/time to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] RootPhisher:
Great ROM, was on 5.1, then did the upgrades to 5.5....

Really enjoyed being able to update that way!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Any custom ROM will not even give you the options of reinstall packages.

While running the ROM you could delete anything and everything from the sd card without causing problems.

If someone could nab a logcat after the button push thing, that'd be extremely helpful.

Note that logcat is disabled to reduce overhead in the speedmod kernel. You can enable it in recovery mode.

Is it normal for your Epic lock being able to unlock by sliding down? Even though the arrow points up...
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
When we update speed mod, we use the I9000 version one correct?
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
No, use the captivate one.
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
Alright thanks
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Shame.

Anyone have any idea how to keep up with the status of the Galaxy Tab email and when it's fixed? SGS Tools just goes and grabs it from somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I think it's normal. I've used it since previous versions of Serendipity and I unlock it by dragging below since I'm comfortable doing that.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:

Couldn't resist.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I had that problem, but after I flashed the Firebird kernel it went away. ;)

Call Recording... Alive!

Good call Chris! At 4:30AM while extremely intoxicated my attention deficit disorder kicked in and I passed out. The only file being the services.jar that I did not revert back to 4.3, and I didn't read the change log like an idiot ;)

Call Recording is a very valuable and attractive feature, even if you don't think so. This method brings crystal clear call recording for both sides of the conversation to your phone in a native manner making your device that much better. Did I mention that there are no notification beeps.

Check the laws in your area!

This is a clockwork flash-able file that will remove the key light feature introduced in the 5.4 update. I suggest KeepTheLightsOn ( KTLO ).

This is not our code. But it really kicks ass!

Note: Install Astro File Manager and create a shortcut to the directory sdcard/sounds and you are gold!

ScarChunk did the leg work and is an incredibly smart and cool individual! Here is a text conversation that highlights our friendship!

Works on 5.5...

Can someone post the older services.jar file? I love having the bottom lights come on but I can't have it closing out my stuff lol
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Assuming you have downloaded the rom then you have it.
[Captivate Android Development] kakwvu:
I don't know what the deal is, but battery life for me is awful. I was gone for two months and didn't have this phone. Last os on it was cognition and the battery life was good. I've done all the right things.. And even reset the battery stats as some instructions say. Cannot get a full day out of this phone regardless of usage. Using s5.5 right now.

In the messageing application i will clearly click a thread, its shows it being clicked but it will pull up a differnt thread. Is there a fix? Ive had this issue with all serendipity roms ive used
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Is the source code for this available? I'm a little hesitant to install executables from unknown sources on my rooted phone...
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
The call recording zip that thedude420 just posted uses the services.jar from 5.3. You can grab it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
That totally fixed everything. Sweet! I smell a new update around the corner with these features :)
[Captivate Android Development] kezell:
I install the zip for the voice call recorder, it saved it as "voicecall 001.amr" I found the file under sdcard/sounds, but how do I replay the conversation?
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
My phone with this rom & latest speedmod is running completely flawless. Aside from gps which I could care less about.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Your recordings are listed under "unknown artist" in the music app. They play great right from there.

No one knows why the messageing app oppens the wrong thread after clicking a thread?...
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
thought it was only me lol its not a big deal though for me it doesnt happen all the time
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
Its very annoying and frusturating especially when you send the wrong text to the wrong person. I need a fix so badly ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
I think the problem is that no one else is experiencing the issue. AOSP mms working fine here with numerous threads.

Edit: I stand corrected as nickel dime bay is apparently able to reproduce...haven't been able to myself
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Works fine for me... Although that doesn't help in any way :/
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
It happens to me all the time and its driving me crazy
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
I switched to themed Samsung mms but I noticed with aosp it opening the wrong thread when I'd tap a thread before the app was done loading. Sometimes there's a second of delay and if you **** with it during that time ur gonna open the wrong thing.

Exactly but i love the asop messaging app so im looking for a fix:(

Hey, I have been keeping up with this thread, and I don't *think* anyone has raised this issue. However, since I'm on my phone, I can't search the thread through the XDA app. Sorry if this has already been addressed, but...

THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I'm running out of things to fix. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
The rotary lockscreen is freakin awesome! Im just wondering is the rotary lockscreen normally on any android devices or was it like a mod?
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
I switched to 5.5 and it did it again so I switched modems and it worked then I switched back to see if it was in fact the modem and it did. So any ways it is the jl3 modem messing it up for me.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
check box next to sms messages to selectively delete a bunch of texts at once :)
[Captivate Android Development] ToX93:
does the rotary lock screen have a option for a text message?
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
True... maybe tweak the border for the pictures in the Contacts app?

I think Outlook is to blame for the squishy contact pictures though...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well as far as UI Tweaks.

I didn't say I was out of ideas in general, just someone "complained" of no UI Tweaks. :p

No, no no. All you have to do is tape some wings on it, and give it a good throw.
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Getting: "assert failed: getprop("ro.build.display.id") =="Serendipity 5.5"

E: Error Status 7

Any ideas?

This is from 5.5 -> 5.6.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
I thought the purpose of airplane mode was that I didn't have to go through the trouble of taping wings on it. It's just supposed to fly anyway.

Also...Mikey, do you think we can get a 5.6 compatible version of the green_battery_mod_g_v08? I was rocking it on 5.4 and now that I'm on 5.6, my battery icon seems...less cool... I would do it myself, but *sigh*....I don't know how to.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Make sure you are on 5.5. I made the same mistake after the 5.4 bug and applying di11igaf's light fix....

Apply the 5.4 to 5.5 update, reboot and then the 5.5 to 5.6 update

EDIT: Ack! Cosmic76 theme doesn't show the Rotary unlock... bummer...
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
I just (re) discovered that you can tie notification volume to incoming call volume. Awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You'll also need to install Control_Tower.apk, since they can't rely on GPS to get where they're going.
[Captivate Android Development] kezell:
Thats a good one!
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Does that also have the "TSA_PatDown.apk" with it?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Sure, but it'll only work if you put bodyscanner.so in /system/lib.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Is there any way to get lock screen controls for the music player on the rotary/aosp unlock or is that a samsung limitation?
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
TSA_PatDown.apk is optional and only necessary if you don't want to use the TSA_FullBodyScan.apk. PatDown.apk is a little more reliable, but FullBodyScan.apk is much much faster.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
I need one more thing for this rom to be perfect. Samsung music app.

aosp music app stays in the notification bar even after being closed, only way to get rid of it is close it manually in task manager. Also, after saving a playlist, if you manually kill the app, you lose playlist. playlist saving only sticks when properly closed and for whatever reason I can't close it.

Would the pull-down music control work with Samsung music app on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I'll upload it to the site.

Actually it does go away. After 2 minutes.

Sure it would.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Thanks Mikey
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
I had the same issue but forgot to reboot between updating from 5.4-5.5, then 5.5 to 5.6.

Make sure you do the reboot in between the updates.

Awesome work on this ROM! This thing is super stable. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Just updated from 5.5 --> 5.6, so far no issues.

EDIT: Yup, everything went fine. I love it! Very nice job!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Okay, it's up.
[Captivate Android Development] sdricke:
Just flashed 5.5-5.6, but it removed Battery Mod. So I booted back into recovery and re-flashed the v08 battery mod I had (that is still shown as current on the Serendipity website). Now the phone is doing repeated boots. Any idea why? How to fix?

EDIT: There is NOW a post on the website that warns against flashing those versions. Gah! I HATE fresh flashes.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Now to find a theme that doesn't break all of your goodness, Mikey...

Cosmic76 doesn't play nice with the new additions...
[Captivate Android Development] weirdboy09:
Any chance the bug with the music app slider be fixed? it displays only ( U I ) no other letters for any other songs.

[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Haha, I found it just as I hit refresh on my computer. Thank you though :)
[Captivate Android Development] Pcsrule:
Has anyone else noticed that when you scroll in the music player the letters that normally pop up to show you where you are in the list don't work. The box shows up and everything but only a capital "U" and lower case. "k" show up. Im guessing this was a bug accidentally created when the notification drawer control support was added (which I love btw). Anyway id just like to throw that on the to do list. Keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
TSA_PatDown.apk also requires permissions that may compromise your vital data.
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Seems like the old battery mod clashes with the things Mikey released in 5.6. So we'll need a new version of the battery mod for 5.6

Suggest you get into CWM and reflash 5.5-5.6. That should get you up and running again, running with the plain battery meter until a 5.6 version is available.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Something about your fix causes different shades of black in the Contacts/Dialer top-menu
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
I just tried the Rotary lock screen and it appears it's not playing nice with one of the stock apps that I added back on.

Here's my setup:

Serendipidity 5.6 (5.1 base with all the incrimental updates)

Stock GMAIL

Samsung MMS

Stock Swype Keyboard

Green Landscape battery mod

It boots fine and in about 20 seconds (after home screen appears) it vibrates twice and reboots (infinite loop).

I can't get into the display settings to change the lock screen back to something different. This has happened twice and I have to reinstall the ROM from scratch.

Any ideas? Thanks for the great work on this!
[Captivate Android Development] KC108:
+1 I have the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Did you apply a battery mod?
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I'm having the opposite experience with Serendipity 5.5 & Speedmod k12u.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It says that you have battery mod installed, is that prior updating to 5.6 or after updating to 5.6? Cause if it's after, that's causing the bootloop.
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
Yep, just read the previous post, so I'll remove it. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] xpeppyx:
Just want to say thank you for this rom. I have been on cognition since 2. Something and I made the.switch.to this at 5.4 ...applied the.fix and have.been.in heaven ever since. Going to flash my wifes phone tonight while she is asleep.. hopefully she.will aprove of it.
[Captivate Android Development] sdricke:
This is a general question as I've not been able to figure it out. With the boot loop going through, I can't press the power button to bring up the menu to put phone into recovery. With any custom rom I've tried, I can't use the three button method to put the phone into recovery. Any other way?
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
Pull the battery, let it set for 10 second count, then put the battery back in, then when do the three button hold but when the ATT world logo white screen shows up let go of the power button while continuing to hold the volume buttons down until the recovery screen shows up.

This is the only way this works for me, and I had the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] dstech:
That's dangerous territory. My wife would be pissed at having to log back in to every one of her apps after a new rom install. ;)

You sir are brave.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
This is why we added the firmware check to the battery mods.

The framework-res.apk has (some) of the files for the rotary lock screen. It also has the images for the battery.

If you overwrite the framework-res.apk with an older one, the Settings.apk is looking for lock screen files that aren't there.

Ipso facto, reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
Owner Contact info on the lock screen

Cyanogen has the ability to place contact info on the lock screen, Mikey do you think that could be incorporated into Serendipity?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
So if the battery mod is important to you, look inside the ROM update ZIP file using Winrar or something similar before you flash... if you see a /system/framework/framework-res.apk in there, do not flash until the battery mods are updated then nag ChanceM. :)
