I'm gonna be honest, people send me confirmation numbers ask the time... Still no clue where to find it in the paypal site. xD
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
lol thats cool man. I just wanted to make sure you got it.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I usually only get like one donation or so every day or two, so it's easy to line them up.

I am bumping against the character limit in my sig though... xD
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
So we should stop donating? :p

Or you could put them in the first post....
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I dont need props man. Just wanted to say thanks for all you have done for the Captivate. Like i said keep it up :p
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Just put the donation acknowledgements on the web page and link to it in your signature - or list them in the OP. Or just know that by creating more and better stuff for us to flash, you're thanking us :)
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
You could put them all in a single gif, jpg or png.

Mikey! I meant Honeycomb! -__-
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Wait, your next rom is going to be js5 base? I thought for sure you'd go with kb1 or 2 because of the smoothness and close relativity it has with Captivate. I've never known any js5 rom to be remotely as smooth as kb1. I can only imagine how fast it'd be with your take on it...
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:

So I've been running Phoenix Rom's for a while now (currently on 4.5 and pretty happy)... Anyhow I have been watching this ROM and am wondering how your battery life is on the current version (stock)?

Just trying to get some beta before flashing so thank you in advance.

I hope I don't jinx myself, but I never toggle Airplane Mode, and I never have issues with cell standby being high. Makes me wonder if it then has to do with the way folks are doing the loads.

Except for the one previous to my current one (which did have issues), I aways clear everything, and go to stock.

I extracted the mms.apk from Serendipity 5.12 but its not letting me install it. i had to run the samsung mms app cuz it has the "message center" which i screwed up by hitting "update" on the smsc option in INFO. This was the only way to get my txts going again., as it would not let me change it in the info menu. Is there a flashable version since i cant push the apk? thanks in advance boys.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Doesn't the kitchen have it.

Anyone having any issues connecting their phone to a PC via USB?

I've tried every USB port on this PC, Windows wont recognize it. Tried the PDANet drivers as well as a download of all drivers from a wiki.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
What is the OS? Is your phone in debug mode? Does you phone think it is connected to USB or just a charger? Can ADB see it?
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
OS is 32-bit Windows XP

Phone is in debug mode, yes.

Phone thinks it's connected to USB, as it gives me the option to mount the drive.

ADB cannot see it.

(sorry realized I probably should have given you all this information LOL)
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Ive been getting incredible battery out of this ROM for a while, just thought i'd share with you guys. For those having problems with battery life you should try what im using and see if it helps a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] travisryans:
I believe that is the previous version of this ROM (5.10) as I'm on 5.12 and this is also the thread title.

On a side note... I LOVE THIS ROM! Coming from the HTC Fuze which I used many roms from this site I was very wary about installing a custom rom. So I read through most of the threads and found this one to have almost zero bugs reported. Battery life for me has been so so. I used to get around 2 days with normal use on the stock rom / settings. I've been getting around 1.5 days with this rom.

Thanks again!

[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Im staying on 5.10 until 6 comes out, that is battery with heavy use, most people get that with a lot of standby and phone idle. Im glad its giving you great battery too!
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Did you force your radio to the 850 band?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Go into Settings/Wireless & Network/USB settings. Make sure it's not set to Samsung Kies, set it to Mass Storage. Back out of it, and then re-enable USB Debugging (always have that on). You should be able to connect then.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
No i havent messed with those settings

I keep my phone on the edge network when I'm home or using wifi. I get a better signal and better battery life. I'm getting great battery life with heavy use on glitterballs kernel #7

Let's try Paragon Kernel, seems everybody likes it.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Indeed. Paragon is way better than Suckerpunch imho. Flashed SP 53 last night and lost my homescreen settings, it was completely blank! wtf!? :(

I can undervolt more with Paragon's and I have never gotten a camera freeze.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
That convinced me even more. Lol. I'll try it later after my phone charges.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
First thing when I get home is flashing Paragon's 1400 kernel. Whahahaha! :D
[Captivate Android Development] PotatoJ:
How long do you plan on supporting this ROM MikeyMike01?
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
Well just to report back, I installed all sorts of drivers and still no luck even after changing that setting to Mass storage. So this is a terminal at work with Symantec Ghost. So I reverted the PC back, just so I could start fresh.

I went on the sticky thread, and downloaded the 32-bit Windows drivers (correct for this PC). After installing them, I STILL get USB device not recognized.

And yes, I've tried all ports on this PC, and am using only the ports on the mobo.

Any more thoughts on what could possibly be done to get this thing communicating with the PC???
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Try someone else's comp.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Your problem statement it's not clear to me.

1. When you plug it in, do you get

a. The"something plugged in sound"?

b. The installing hardware icons/popups in the tray?

c. Hardware not installed properly popup?

d. Yellow exclamation point(s) in device manager?

2. Do other usb devices work?
[Captivate Android Development] dkall2:
Have you tried pushing the "mount" button on the phone screen? Alot of times if something isn't working for me it's usually the most basic of fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
I'm now day 1 on paragon and with the same use I've been using I've got about 7-12% more battery life right now. So I have to say paragon has helped. I will try the standard settings today and through the weekend tweak a few voltages to see how it does.

OVerall, try paragon, it'll definitely help with battery!!
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
I was going to post back here to say exactly that.

Thanks for your help. That setting change was quite promising!! But didn't work. Got a little further along when installing drivers, but yeah.

Anyway thanks again for your assistance today!!

You know, if and when Mikey moves on, this ROM will still function just fine. And it sounds as though he'd be moving on to another Captivate ROM.

Mikey's Memory Loss

I'll vouch for Mikey's memory loss - I donated a while back, but Mikey has been so busy with new ROMs that he forgot to add me to the list. :o

Not a biggie. I'm enjoying the ROM. I'm sure he's cooking up something great for the next release.

He probably needs a six pack of Red Bull, considering the time stamps on his OP post edits - looks like Mikey burns the midnight oil - I remember when I could burn the candle at both ends and live on 3 hours of sleep for days at a time - I might be able to go one night like that nowadays, but I would be toast the next afternoon.

[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
ha ha.... I love how we went from discussing the serendipty rom, slowly to themes, to kernels, to upcoming phones, then to donations, underage drinking, and finally to rants about old age and reminiscing about your youth!! ha ha

We've got a pretty amazing demographic on here, every stop to think about that? People from all walks of life, professions, countries, and ages coming together to hack phones!

Ok, that totally took it to another deeper level, almost....wait for it ....waittttttt forrrrrr it..... almost serendipitous!!

Network settings....use only 2G network. Also there is an app from curvefish that lets you put a widget on home screen to toggle between the two.

[Captivate Android Development] bhairya:
I don't have any option in network settings to use 2G. The only thing I can do is turn off packet data but nothing to switch between edge and 3G. I did disable HSDPA but couldn't find any way to turn off 3G.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's there... Called "Network Mode". GSM is 2G.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Edit: Heh. I feel stupid now. There's always what Mikey said above me, but I do remember a more enable/disable 3g toggle
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
With 3g in my apt I got real spotty coverage. I'd say a quarter of my txt's would fail to send causing me to always wait and watch to see if It went through. With 2g I haven't dropped connection once. Not once. 3g and hsdpa left me with like 20% of the time searching for a signal
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Your apt is probably close enough to hit a 3g tower, but not close enough to get a strong signal, and a 2g tower is probably closer.

[Captivate Android Development] bhairya:
Yup I figured it out right after posting. I do use a widget toggle but each time I pressed it it took me to network settings so I just assumed it wasnt working. Im now on E so Im hoping it will save some battery. You can also do it through sgs tools with a service menu.

Music app problems

I'm on 5.12 and whenever I unplug my headphones, it starts playing a song through the Music app. For instance, when I watch a movie or tv show, then unplug, a random song will start playing and the music app will be open. I don't even have to actually use the headphones, if I plug them in and take them out without actually playing anything, the music app starts with a random song. Is this an issue with 5.12 or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Right here buddy.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I made the Paragon kernel switch as well... I had to UV all -100 to keep it from freezing when I go into Gallery.

Quite snappy and Linpack is ~17 and Quadrant is 1831

Neocore - 55.7 fps

Quadrant - 2056

Not bad. :cool:

Alright, Im going to finally upgrade to 5.12 so ya... it seems to be stable like 4.3 was for me.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Are you on 5.11? The updates are not cumulative, you need to step through each one to get to 5.12.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
OC to 1300, no UV
[Captivate Android Development] :
Heh, Im still on 4.3 haha. Im just going to flash the whole thing (5.12) through clockwork and see if that works for me because i hate going through odin.

i just switched to Paragon also

Neocore: 55.5 FPs

Quadrant: 1708

Smartbench 2010: Productivity- 1159 Games- 2637

I think that kernel runs very well.

Flashing paragon kernel installed voltage control 2.0rc on its own. Is that the version you guys are using?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ive never seen those hideous red bubbles on 4.3 or lower. And I usually dont check my market updates for days, so I usually have 3+ when I do.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I have 2.0rc2
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've never seen any 'ugly red bubbles' at all.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Mike, I know that you are building a new rom from a new source, but might I suggest pairing it with Paragon's kernel since its based off of the speedmod kernel anyway? If its just left stock, it wont hurt anything (because its a great kernel anyway), but then people have the option to uv/oc if they want. Might want to put a disclaimer in there though that since every phone is different, uv/oc is on a "per phone" basis and should problems or questions arise, to be taken to the paragon thread.

Just a suggestion I thought I throw your way. :)
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Mine says "3.0-rc" but I've been using the same voltage control since I first started OC/UVing. I know in the SP thread theres the 3.0 or something voltage control app within the first couple posts.

Edit: Added the 3.0 .apk, credit goes to Xan (Thanks Mikey)

Edit 2: Just download 3.0.3 from the market like Mikey suggested below
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I deleted it out of the zip, and have 3.0.3 off the Market.

So Mikey, how do you like Paragon?
[Captivate Android Development] rootmepls:
Had a question about Voltage Control settings. I changed to the Paragon 1300 Kernel instead of 1200 and under the "Limit clock to:" it was set to 100Mhz when I started the app. I've changed it to 1300 instead. Is that correct, Or should it be somewhere in between?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Setting it to 1300 was correct. If you left it at 100, your phone would run extremely slow. If at all
[Captivate Android Development] rootmepls:
Thanks!

Yea! It was painfully slow. Not sure why it did that. First time I ran it I could have sworn it was set to 1200 and it probably was.

How is everyone doing on this Paragon kernel? Seems to be sucking down juice but I've been running lots of stress tests and benchmarks. I'm guessing thats the reason.
