dang it now it keeps aborting the redrom theme installation
[Captivate Android Development] Timberline:
On a whim I decided to try a different kernel to see if it made any difference. I was on Paragon 1200 and like it so I flashed Paragon 1300.

GPSR performance returned to excellent.

I was going to flash back to 1200 to see if it's the specific kernel or the act of flashing it that made the difference but haven't yet.

ETA: hmm... spoke too soon, just checked mine and it's back to poor lock times. Back to more experimenting.....

ETA-A: Out of curiosity, I re-flashed 1300 on top of 1300. No improvement. I flashed back to 1200. Significant improvement. So it appears that it's not specific to the kernel or even act of flashing, but flashing something different that whatever is currently resident.

The bigger question to me is why this manifests in 6.x and wasn't present (at least on my Cappy) with 5.x. I know Mikey and Chance changed the GPS files in 6 and don't know from where they obtained them, but the new GPS files don't appear to be stable.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The GPS sucks. True story.

[Captivate Android Development] maximus-dev:
Sorry to ask a question which I should be able to find the answer to... but as I'm trying this as my first Rom in many months.... I want to be sure I don't screw anything up.

I'm prepped and ready to go, just charging to full battery.

What file system does this use? How do you disable lagfix afterward if you choose to? With voodoo, I seem to recall having a voodoo folder and then an extensionless file with the name disable-lagfix in it, but that was back when it was the only lagfix I was aware of.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Ext4 or Ext4nj, depending in the partition.

You can change it in recovery mode, but I don't see why you would.

ok here is the deal, i tried to reflash my phone because something weird happended, well while running odin my usb came out and now my phone will not power up, so what to do
[Captivate Android Development] maximus-dev:
I imagine, if for some reason, I wanted to flash back to a clockwork backup that was made pre-flash of this or any other Rom with a lagfix... I would want to disable it, correct? I could run into modem or kernel issues though I imagine... that is one of the parts that I'm sketchy about...

It's America. Other countries expect Americans to be fat.

Ouchy! I did this a week and a hail ago trying to flash v6.2. I'm still waiting for my jig to fix it:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
does absolutely nothing, nothing comes on not even when plugged up, so im guessing that its bricked
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Try taking the battery out, unplug the usb, plug the usb in, put the battery in, then hold the volume down button and put the battery back in.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Go to your local AT&T service center place. I walked in with a phone that didn't turn on, boot, power up, light up, charge, or otherwise do anything at all. They swapped the battery (it still didn't work), they checked the water mark, went in the back and got me a new* one.

*new to me
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Possibly...but I have had this happen. Twice. Yeah stupid me.

This worked for me, when I finally got a power signal:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

Was easy to make for .99 since I had a another mini USB around.

When I had nothing show up I left it charge again over night, and finally got it to show life then applied the above homemade jig.

Since you have no power I assume you cannot even try the three button combo or other normal fixes to get into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
..or do this. That might be easier.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Worst case, call up Samsung and say your phone died and won't turn on. Sucks because it takes about ten days to get it back, but they should do it for free.
[Captivate Android Development] maximus-dev:
Good God... where has this been all my life???

So before I make a mistake, I recall reading that you have to be careful using TB to restore things. Are there any particular things to be aware of before I get started? I seem to recall reading that you should only restore certain aspects or follow a particular procedure.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Restore apps + data

Do not restore system data.

Some people prefer to just restore missing apps, no data.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
So lets say I did restore system data hypothetically of course what's so bad about that?

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
i did this got to the download screen, hooked up odin and now odin just hangs on factoryfs.rfs and my phone display is blue
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
If you are switching from another rom, restoring system data can cause some conflicts and you will get force closes on some apps amonst other irritating issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Besides not restoring settings, I would spend the extra few bucks for MyBackup Pro. There have been times when TiBu crapped out during a restore and I was

very

happy I had MyBackup Pro as "Plan B."
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Also a good idea to transfer the TiBu folder to desktop from time to time. I do that as backup. Never had an issue. Some Roms that you flash may have TiBu already incorporated so it is easy to restore.
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
omg omg i got lucky, downloaded odin again and it worked yay!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Congrats! That will save you some time. How did you get it on when you said it did not respond before?
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
did the homemade resistor trick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Yep. That is what I used once. You ran over and got some 100k resisters? Well good to hear you got it going.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
and...store backups on the external microSD card. A "portable" restore source in the event the phone's innards become damaged or the backup is deleted. MyBackup Pro does this by default if you store your backup locally, but TiBU needs to be instructed via Preferences.

TiBu target: external_sd/TitaniumBackup
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
one quick question can i delete the update.zip that was used to get clock work mod once im done
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
You can, but it's a handy file to have around, I keep mine on my external sd.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
I concur. No harm leaving it.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
TiBu can also backup your backups to dropbox.

i figured out what caused the problem, i had a red battery mod that i was using on 5.12 but i guess it doesnt work on 6.2, so with that being said how can i get a new red battery icon with the sliced circle with the number in the middle
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/add-ons.html
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Did you get it from the Serendipity kitchen? Just go back and download a new one. All of them have been updated to go with 6.2.

http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/index.html
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
no it was an old file from somewhere else
[Captivate Android Development] Fall0n:
Thanks! I appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
I recommend getting a battery mod from the kitchen. Then it is an easy flash

Don't use it. Ever. It's likely to cause a great deal of a headache.

[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
ok now i got the correct battery icon but how do i get it in red, i clicked on the redrom option but its still green and also i did the transparent nofication and its green also
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't know, I've never actually used the kitchen...

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
There should have been a red battery mod and you need to say redrom as your base. Also check out the redrom thread in the theme forum
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Unfortunately, there are only 2 red battery mods - Red G & Red H. If you choose another mod it won't be red - whether you select REDROM or not.

The REDROM theme already has transparent notification built in. Once again, despite selecting REDROM, you'll get a green notification bar.

Re-flash the REDROM theme, followed by ONLY the Red G or Red H mods with REDROM selected, and you should be all set.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Now thats funny
[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
ok i understand it now, so what is the colored settings, and is there no way to edit the green battery to a red one
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Well if Mikey / Chance hasn't already made a red version, just download the green one, and make them all red. it shouldn't be too hard, just long.

Just out of curiosity, which battery? I have some down time tonight
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
dont you hate that your rom is so stable that you never get any updates? I almost want something to not be good so I can update something...
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:

anyone have any experience or sollutions to me getting a force close when I open up my contacts? I can see my contacts in an sms but if I try going straight to the contact list it just force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I had that problem a while back when trying to install a themed contacts.apk; are you doing anything theme wise? Or is it just a random thing?
[Captivate Android Development] Dusky323:
I might re-install just the 6.12, if I remember right it didnt happen until I downloaded the kitchen. I'm not themed or anything. I'll start back over and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I had to do a re-install as well, that should work for sure
[Captivate Android Development] Nismo88:
all of a sudden my "messaging" (process com.android.mms) force closes, and i cannot send texts, if i restart my phone it force closes right away when it boots. any ideas? i had been running 6.0-6.2 since it was released with no problems, havent dled any apps, tried changing messaging ap, no luck
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I know the attached is red, but it works perfect for me on 6.2. Otherwise, try a wipe/re-install and maybe that'll fix it
[Captivate Android Development] Jay1390:
Not sure if it'll fix it or not but Rom Manager has a "Fix Permissions" option that says it helps the force closed issues. Clockwork I think has a fix permissions option too. May be worth looking in to.
[Captivate Android Development] gunderbum:
i cant update from 6.0 to 6.1 i get error status 7, I guess i can flash to stock and start over but was hoping to skip some steps

[Captivate Android Development] gunderbum:
I think I will just load 6.2 and reinstall my apps and data
[Captivate Android Development] Jay1390:
use titanium backup, it'll back up all your apps and data. It works great. I used it to backup my phone before I went to Serendipity 6.2 and when I restored everything, my phone was setup almost exactly how it was before the new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I've tried many roms for the captivate and this one is top tier. You've outdone yourself with this. Its extremely stable, great battery life, and with jk4 modem and telenav gps app I can finally use my gps the way it should. Haven't changed kernel or modem, just some theme modifications. There's not much else to say other than if you haven't tried this rom, you better flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] jaydeekay:
I just went from 5.9 to 6.2. Much smoother and quicker. Thanks! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mikehe:
would it be possible to get your ROM to have the option of captureing video and captuering audio...like maybe using the samsung app
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
It's pretty much guaranteed to break things - speaking from experience!

The only System bits that I know TB will restore properly are browser bookmarks.

OTOH MyBackup Root will backup & properly restore call logs and some other System bits.

[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Oops. I tried editing the applications menu in settings.apk

I must have done that one wrong because somehow settings.apk got uninstalled I tried pushing it back to system, tried using an update zip to get it back in, tried using root explorer, nothing worked. So I had to reflash 2.0 lol. But I think it was apk managers fault because it likes to compress all the apks it compiles and system apps dont need it.

But Ithink I figured out how and where to add menus. But it seems like it would be easier to edit the 2.2.1 source in java and compile it fresh.

I switched from Assonance v5.2 and I am having major drain with the JPY 2.2.1 based roms. Only thing I changed is the modem as it gets better reception for me. I used to have two days with wifi on all the time now I am lucky to make it a day.

What has changed in the new JPX/JPY roms to make wifi drain so bad? Its not just your ROM Mikey its all these ROMs based on JPX/JPY do not go into a lower power state like they used to. I never had the wifi sleep policy turn off at all now I guess I am going to have turn it on to sleep when the screen is off.

Other than that issue (which is on any JPX/JPY ROM I have used) everything is running as its should.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Many of the newer roms are changing the wifi firmware to the old JPA firmware which doesn't have the wifi battery drain. So....its not that.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, it's been pulled, the developer doesn't have the time to keep it up to date. I grabbed it from a thread here somewhere, let me see if I can find it.....Here it is, from a post further down the thread.

Well at the time I was just trying to add a test menu like a proof of concept. But it failed. I want to be able to add a whole menu of custom options to this rom, just like in the ultimate droid rom.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If it compiles properly, but doesn't work on the phone, try extracting all the files and then adding them to a .zip without compression and renaming it to .apk.

I had to do that with a great deal of edits.

SMS problem - Follow up

As I stated, my received SMS timestamp are 5 hours early. I think it is related to the SMS app or the kernel because when I tried the Continuum ROM yesterday, it works without SMS Time Fix hack. I really like Serenpidity, very smooth, good presentation but this SMS bug is really annoying to ignore. I also have the problem with the voice mail notification always showed up (even without having voice mail service from the carrier) and that one occurs on every custom ROMs I tried but I can live with that. Maybe I should try Firefly which is based on Rogers Froyo to tell if that's something only related to non Rogers roms.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
As you quoted, if you download one single app your problem will go away. Much easier than switching to another ROM.
