Don't use ROM manager to install. Install via CWM. Also disable any existing lagfixes, even if it's the same. After rom install, wipe data, wipe cache, and then the dalvik cache, then reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
What was your previous ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
What's the current kernel? i think your cwm recovery might be buggered.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Oh jesus, guys.

Was trying to install the new 5.0 Framework battery mod you gave us. It actually happens when flashing *anything.* The odd part is that I remove my battery, put the battery back in, start my phone, and it finishes the install process like it was no sweat.

This is what I'm guessing the problem is, problem is my girlfriend is running the exact same setup with Serendipity, and Suckerpunch, when she went to install the battery mod, she apparently didn't get this error like I did. Haha.

Well, ROM Manager uses CWM, that's the problem.

Previous ROM was Serendipity 4.3. I then Odin One Clicked to stock, installed 5.0. I've been having this issue with the Serendipity roms for some reason, back since 4.0.1.

Current kernel now is Suckerpunch version #32. It happened with Suckerpunch version #30, and Speedmod(which Suckerpunch is based off of.)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
oh, man, I just spent 20 minutes putting all the widgets back into place, flashed the battery mod, and all my widgets disappeared....what's up with that? That's a PITA! But the battery mod looks great. I'll flash the other stuff before I fix the widgets....again. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I always install the Samsung Email app because it lets you pinch zoom, unlike the Gmail app. I'm surprised this isn't an issue for more people.
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
I installed the circle battery mod with no problem for Seren 5.0. I have a feeling there might be a conflict in the suckerpunch kernel, even though it's based on speedmod. Would be interesting to see if these mods install directly with a pure speedmod kernel, then that would pin it down to suckerpunch.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Yep. A little better than mine. But yours and my speeds are actually better than the DSL I had before I switched to cable. Using the included Mobile AP app, I don't notice any difference between surfing on my provider and surfing off the phone's internet - I would notice if I downloaded ROM's on my phone, of course.

You could watch Netflix downloads on these speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
The HSPDA I get from AT&T is superior to my Verizon DSL currently.

It sucks, haha. Wish I had my old unlimited data plan, I'd be abusing it. :p
[Captivate Android Development] adamskub:
Haha ya that happened to me too. I restored LauncherPro, got all my widgets back. Rebooted and then they were gone lol So i redid them and had to reboot for something else and some of them disappeared again :eek: haha

It's all good now though! :D Hope you didn't have a tough time with restoring the widgits!!

Here's what I'm pulling this morning using Serendipity 5.0 on Rogers.
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
Just reporting back after running 5.0 for a day that things are going very smoothly so far. I reverted back to an older Gmail.apk to get around the white background issue. Other than that, great out of the box (still can't play animated gifs in the browser but I have given up on that :\).

Also, the new landscape battery mod is perfect! Thanks Mikey and ChanceM.

BLN - minor issue

Mike and contributors:

Wonderful work again!

Been running 5 for a bit over 24 hours now. On previous versions I had occasionally experienced the FC on inbound call with the screen-off. None yet on 5! :)

For the record my Captivate is a batch 1006. I did an Odin flash to stock, then Odin wipe followed by the CWM based install of Serendipity 5. I have gone through and fixed the signature and zipalign of all of my preferred apps (as needed) and then used "adb install" to put my apps back on (no market downloads needed). While I use TitaniumBackupPro (and installed it), I did not use it to restore any apps or data. So, I am starting "fresh."

- Battery life appears great so far.

- Data speeds on AT&T are better than ever (though weekends always seem better for me - we will see what happens during the week).

- I use Launcher Pro and Extended Controls and both work perfectly (as they always have for me).

- Install and use of green_battery_mod_a_v07.zip is great.

- Everything else is at baseline configuration

The one and only issue (for me) is BLN and the use of "KeepTheLightsOn.apk" Previously worked great where anytime the screen was on, the menu backlights were on and anytime the screen was off, the backlights were off (which is the behavior I prefer). Now, unacknowledged notifications appear to override that behavior and keep the backlights on, even if the screen is off. That is perhaps the design behavior. I can live with it but I wonder if there is an alternative?

Best regards,

George

[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
Yeah, I never use Rom Manager. I feel more clean about myself rebooting into Recovery when I flash, which brings me to my question.

Can I install more than one zip at a time in Recovery or should I reboot every time I need to install a flashable zip file?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Depends on what they do, but you should be able to.

You can install multiple zips. When I installed 4.3, I loaded speedmod at the same time, it worked great.

[Captivate Android Development] adamskub:
I got 4.29Mbps/1.23Mbps during lunch time. I still can't believe the speeds I'm getting! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
May not be the same thing, but I've found it to be quite unreliable. If I ever have a bad flash, it's almost always because I used it, so I stopped, and things have run smoother since then.

There is also the Occam's Razor concept to consider. Why add another step, when an existing method performs as good or better?
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
What do you guys use to install cwm with out rom manager?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Just save the update.zip file and keep using it over. No need for rom manager if u save that file.

If u put the update.zip on the root of your SD when u boot into srandard 2e recovery all u gotta do is hit reinstall packages twice. U can completely skip the rooting process after going back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
All you need is the cwm update.zip. Just select reinstall packages in stock recovery and you'll boot into cwm without the use of rom manager. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Yeahhh right so I don't even need to do the one click root. Just odin, master clear, drop that zip and my rom flash n done? Amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
That's it. It makes your head explode into candy, it's so great.
[Captivate Android Development] catman2005:
The default Brightness it's a lot lower than 4.3.

I do believe that helps with the battery life, but....I would like it to be brighter if it's possible for Default Auto.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Man can't wait to get home lol.

Is there any faster way to back up and restore apps on titanium backup? That is what takes the longest. Spend 10mins on odin n flashing an hour n a half of backup/restore.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
If you don't want the brightness fix, then you need to change kernels. The brightness fix in 5.0 is associated with Hardcore's kernel. Personally, I think it is perfect. Especially in darker conditions it doesn't burn your eyes with the brightness.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Lima if you buy the TiBu PRO key you can do one click batch restores. Must faster.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
If you buy the pro version it would be a lot quicker and well worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Thanks I was hoping the pro version would have that making it worth to buy.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
I didn't use Odin, just dropped the zip and installed it through clockwork. no problems to report as of yet. almost done my titanium restore
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
That is because of the kernel switch to SpeedMod. It does that. You can swap kernels if it bothers you. I personally love FireBird. It is easy to swap... just flash in clockwork recovery or use SGS Kernel Flasher from the market. You can backup existing kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher in case you want to go back.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
Very happy with 5.0 so far. Feels solid and smooth.

I do have a question about the modem and the default bands it uses though. Is there anyway to disable HSPA? I don't think my area has enough coverage to make use of it, because I'm constantly seeing my device switch between "H" and "3G" .. doesn't this drain the battery considerably? I tried to play around with *#2263# by changing band selection from automatic to WCDMA 850 (FDDV) only, but it wouldn't connect.

If anyone could suggest a modem that might work better for me, or point me in the right direction on how to navigate the *#2263# service mode, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
I would also recommend investing in MyBackup Pro. Much slower to back up your phone, but solid. There have been times when Titanium has been less than reliable for me during the restore process and I was glad to have a Plan B. Worth the few bucks.
[Captivate Android Development] catman2005:
Thanks for reply,

I am used to flash the ROM only. This is all I know to do.

I don’t know what kernel I should flash it to be able to get the brightness.

Can you elaborate more please?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Lots of double post. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Sure .. as a safety measure, backup anything you care about on internal storage then:

- First download SGS Kernel Flasher from Market

- Download the FireBird kernel from my signature. Get the CWM version

- Copy the file to the root of your internal SD on your phone

- Run SGS Kernel Flasher

- Backup existing kernel

- Flash new kernel by browsing to the file you placed on your phone

That should be it.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Edit: Wrong information as shown by silverslotcar. Please ignore!

Everyone will switch between the two. I don't think anyone will get just "H". I would leave it as is, if you disable it you would be dropping down to EDGE speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
If you want to disable HSDPA and/or HSUPA you could try this, go to your dialer and dial *#301279# and that will bring you to another screen. On that screen, select change hspa revision or the second option. Then on that screen you can select either you want to just turn off HSDPA or HSUPA by selecting one of those options. Option #1 will disable both.

If you want, you could try different modems. Click the link on my sig and you could find different modems there. Hope that helps.

[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
You can start with your neighbor. After that, try 5.0.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Anything but a stranger!
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
EDIT: Typed this up and then noticed Wicked beat me to it! Sorry for the double post.

This not true at all. You can disable HSPA without going to EDGE. You can stay on 3G (UMTS). Which is what I do after every flash, I lock in the 3G because the signal is preferred in my area.

How to do so, just open up the dialer and type *#301279# to get to a hidden menu. Then choose #2 Change HSPA Revision, then choose #1 Release R99 (HSPA OFF) and this will stop the switching from H to 3G and in turn use only 3G. Also, 3G uses less battery so you will see an improvement there as well. Hope this helps. :cool:

Too much happiness. Not only is 5.0 top notch, but I combined it with a 3G MicroCell last night and have a solid 4 bars throughout my house. Before then I averaged between 0 and 1 bar at my desk and often missed calls.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
You can take the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file from the ROM download and copy it back to the same location on your phone, overwriting existing file then reboot. You can use root explorer or something similiar.

You can also replace that same file in the battery circle mod ZIP then reflash using clockwork recovery.

Pull the framework-res.apk out if the ROM and drop it in one of the battery mods.

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I assume you used the wrong JF6 firmware and lost your download mode combo so, yeah, your only recourse would be a jig or a replacement. After you get it sorted out, use this (or if you end up with a 1010 or later this) if you ever need to flash stock, but try to avoid ever doing it. It's a generally useless ritual.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
There is a penalty I believe with the MicroCell. Your upload and download speeds will suffer on 3G when using the MicroCell (mine does only 64K upload and trims my download from 2.5 Meg to about 900K). Same story on Captivate, iPhone and iPad when they are registered to use the MicroCell.

Generally OK from my perspective as I use WiFi at home but does screw up my "testing." I use it anyway as it makes my chances of dropping a call go way down.

Not certain if the speed hit is widely known or not.

GMail Issue

Hi Everyone,

So, I just upgraded to this Rom from Mikey's old modified Doc's rom -- I love it, with one exception.

The dark theme on the GMail app doesn't do it for me. So, I searched through the thread, found some solutions, and tried them.

The uninstalled GMail through Titanium Backup, and then I navigated to GMail on the Marketplace. I tried to download and install it, but it just said it was incompatible. I think tried another users download from this thread, but I got the same error on that one.

What's the best way to get a non-dark GMail install on this phone?
