Oh no! I would

NOT

recommend this if u consider urself a noob.

BE VERY CAREFUL. Phones freeze when they are loaded with speeds they can't handle. Mine freezes at some point in 13xx.

Recommended procedure:

1. Get a S99_volt file (of the specific kernel u want to load) set to lower speed, say 1000, and copy to ur /system/etc/init.d folder.

This is force the CPU speed at a max of 1000 when u start it up.

2. Get the Voltage Controller app.

3. Load the kernel u want.

4. Since u have the S99_volt set to lower level, it will boot up with lower max speed.

5. Open the Voltage Controller app, and set the speed to higher level, and say "apply for now". DO NOT SELECT "SAVE AS BOOT SETTINGS".

This will apply them temporarily. In case ur phone freezes, a battery pull will get u out. And since the changes were not permanent, ur phone should boot up normally.

I do not say this is a foolproof method, but it should atleast help take off the painful process of re-flashing everything.
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
No.

No.

Its his custom kernel.

Custom.

Good.
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
You will most likely not notice a difference unless you watch inflated numbers in a benchmark program.

Ok, news, I MAY not be as done with editing my theme as I thought I was.... still looks like crap, but MAY be salvageable. :P

Thanks for the help but all that kinda scared me so I think I'm gonna stick with non oc!

You guys aren't the 1st to suggest to not do it!

Samsung captivate running d11igaf 6.0
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
anybody know how to get the call recording ability outside of this rom?

i'm on 2.5 and dont want to change :/
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
You need the phone.apk and the 3 libaudio files in this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
holy ****! 2.5 was a good rom though.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I have noticed an interesting "issue" and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing it and knows what causes it and how to fix it.

di11i's 6.0 rom

xcals 2.3.3 kernel

Phone plugged into AC charger

Screen timeout set to 30 seconds

When I receive an email (GMail, Yahoo! or Exchange) I get a notification sound and the screen comes on. Completely normal. Except that when I am plugged into an AC charger the screen doesn't turn back off after 30 seconds. When I am running on battery it shuts off after 30 seconds. This is the first rom (I have tried many) that this happens on. Not a deal breaker just odd.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
Somebody Please Help! I cant get the blue boot animation to work. Also dose anyone know where I can set the amount of time gmail checks for new mail??

Thanks a Mill
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Take the file, use root explorer. Move it to system/media. Overwrite the old one. Done.

And I'm pretty sure gmail is either just push or self check
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I moved it to the media folder in the root directory, do I have to install it again from the recovery menu?

My email sometimes comes thru right away and other times it has taken 20+ min to get to my phone. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
Yes it was :D 2.0 made me a fan of your work lol
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I moved it to the root directory/media and restarted. I'm thinking this is not the correct media folder. Where should I be looking?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Root dir ->System->Media
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I don't have either of those folders on my Phone.
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
Should I create them?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No, you need a file program that can view then. What file manager are you using.

Root explorer is best

super manager is free
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I have a Media folder on my Phone but its on the Root not in a "system" folder, and there is no boot animation in there.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
what file explorer are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
The one that came with the "Add on's.zip" I Currently have no Boot animation at all. I was going to Put the .zip into the media folder reboot into recovery then install from SD card. Is that about right?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No that won't do anything
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
Any Suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
You need to download one of these and use it.

Root explorer is best (best purchased app yet)

super manager is free (and a pain)
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I cant just Drag n Drop Via my laptop?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
blah. 10chars
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
If you use QtADB you can
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
damn it didn't mean to click thanks.

anyway, did you download the cwr zip from post 3? or do you just have the bootanimation file?

if you downladed from post 3, yes, you put on sd card the install zip through recovery. if you just have the bootani file, then you use root explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I Have the CWR flashable .zip
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
yeah, sorry about the confusion. more often than not, boot animations are not supplied in flashable zip. People will just give the file. Should have known that d1g1 was on top of it already.
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
I just tried Again to install it from the .zip and still no animatiomn. I tried to install from the root directory and also from Root>Media and no animation on reboot
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
You didn't rename it or anything did you? Either try it again, or go the root explorer route...

And what do you mean by what I underlined?

Install it one of 2 ways. CWR flash, just like when you installed your rom. Or the root explorer/super manager route.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
I'm on Glitter's 1-4-11. Worst battery life i've ever seen, but I'm sure i've just flashed too many kernels on this rom. Tonight i'm flashing 2.5 with speedmod.

Did u recalibrate after kernel flashing?? Did u undervolt?? Were u overclocked? Try removing oc and uving. And what modem are ya running maybe try swapping those.

No oc, uv is -75 -75 -100 -100 -125!!!

And yes I recalibrated.

Sent from my Captivate -- Di11igaf's 3.0.2
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
If your using the kernel included with with rom, you may want to check if theres a newer version which im sure there is since that was a while ago and its the original build f? I believe. Its also overclocked so unless you undervolt by AT LEAST 50-75 mv your battery is not gonna be that great. His newer releases are probably better and ill upload the rom later with a newer one maybe it will get better. But this new build im trying out is pretty good. Its just bare bones right now, stock theme, just deodexed and optimized, rooted and flashed with hardcores newest 500hz kernel and im a little over 10 hours now with a little over an hour screen on time and im at 65%.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
About 8 hours now

Display 58 mins 58 secs

Voice calls 46 mins 17 secs

2 gmail push accounts

1 google voice with push

about 100+ texts in and out with a vibrate for each

I am using the kernel in my signature.

Battery at 71%
[Captivate Android Development] haayleyy:
Question - what does changing the kernel do and how do I go about doing that?

Could changing the kernel keep my battery from doing ridiculous things.. like going down 20% when i've killed all my running apps and haven't touched the phone for an hour?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Changing kernels does not make battery do ridiculous things. But it is advisable to change kernel when battery is full.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
He asked if changing kernels would KEEP his battery from draining. Not if changing kernels would drain his battery...
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
To properly answer your question hayley we need to know what rom your running as well as what kernel you have. Your question is too vague.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
I agree... also, I just flashed 2.5 and when it booted it asked to pick the TW launcher or launcher pro and i of course picked launcher pro and checked "make default".

Well I'll be damned if it didn't pop up saying "launcher pro is out of date" and now I can literally only access the browser. I need a link online to download a newer launcher pro apk or another launcher so i can ****ing fix it.

Screw it... just reflashing 3.0.2.

I just had it happen after flashing steam kernel. I went to appbrain and dl go launcher bc it was the only thing I could think of at the time. I may actually switch launchers bc im worried it might happen again
[Captivate Android Development] haayleyy:
I'm running this rom, with whatever kernel it comes with when you download it.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I think u might've had a bad flash. I used 2.5, 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 4.0 with the default supplied kernels. All of them are good and have high responsiveness and good battery life, though I personally felt that 2.5 had the best battery life. And no, swapping kernels on any of these versions of ROM won't make battery behave erratically. I flashed speedmod's kernel on 3.0.2 and 2.5 with no side effects.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
4.0 just has more battery drain bcuz its vibrant based JL5, if you want to change kernels for better basttery hayley, then try hardcores kernel. Its here in the development section and there are instructions there on how to flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] haayleyy:
Something is going crazy with my battery now with this rom and whatever kernel it came with.. It is draining like crazy. I will charge it and it will get to 100%, and as soon as I unplug it, it's down to 97%. In a matter of 5 minutes I had it down to 90% and hadn't touched it.
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
that's insane battery drain. recharge to 100%, flash back to stock, then flash the rom of your choice and you should be ok
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
Quick question... when you recalibrate your battery... do you have to drain it to zero, charge it all the way and then do the delete battery stats? Or do you just charge it up from where-ever and clear battery stats...

[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
Didn't re-name it. Is there a good website to D/L boot animations? or is this Forum my best bet?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Not that i'm aware of. What good would it do if you can't get this one to work? It works and even if there was another site, installation process would be the same.

Thanks again for having nothing useful to say.

[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
If they did I wouldnt be posting here for help buddy.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I told you how to install

Root explorer, paste bootanimation.zip into system/media. Overwrite existing, reboot

Going back to stock has nothing to do with this
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
lol. junkware? It's a file explorer that allows you to get into system files. You can't do that with your stock file manager.

Sure, you can go back to stock and even preinstall the new boot animation to the zip before you even flash your phone., but it's a waste of time if all you want is the bootani.

Root explorer is the best app i've bought.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
How long was it before the screen turned itself off?

I receive mails, etc all night, and phone isn't on when I wake up in the morning (its on charger all night, nearly every weekday).
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
The blue boot animation did not work earlier. Digi posted an updated version 2 days back. Make sure u have the right version.

Note: U could try downloading my blue theme v2, and use the boot animation present in that. It has the updated version.

THANK YOU!!!!

This was in fact the problem. I D/L a new copy and it worked no Problem!!!
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
Ok, first off, these people aren't getting paid to sit here and try to help people. This person has helped several others, and no matter if it's been "useful" to you or not it's still been useful period. Don't sit there and disrespect anyone that regularly tries to help out just because their suggestion didn't work. Some people are better at explaining some things than others and don't knock someone for getting frustrated if their suggestion didn't help.

There has been an influx of poeple who just flat out refuse to search or don't read the OP until they understand it (yes, searching through the last 300 pages can be a pain with so many new versions) so it's a little redundant to have to re-repeat everything everyones alreadys aid 3 times so forgive us if we get a bit cranky too (and while some people just won't understand things how they process information differently than given to them we'll still try to help) but do NOT knock anyone for still trying to help.

*edit* and sorry if I came off as overly rude myself, I just woke up and one of the other technicians stole some of the work I had lined up for today so I'm a bit grumpy myself. :)
[Captivate Android Development] HighSun_Murder:
Just so YOU know that was ONE of the useless comments this guy made. It was quite obvious to me he was just being a D1ck. As for the rest of the B.S. You posted and I didnt read. I dont care. Your coaching is meaningless to me. I Know how to use a Forum sir.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Been repeating this again and again, and telling yet again:

Be patient. Be polite. Just because you cannot understand something does not mean u can show your frustration at folks here.

No one here is working for u, nor run a customer care center. Its a free will where its considered a 'favor' the developer is doing by sharing his pet projects for us. Its their good will that they are considerate enough to put in extra efforts to satisfy what people ask them. Don't drive the devs to the limits of sanity. People like dilli n digi have already pretty high levels of limits, whereas others may not have that much, and still they try to be as accommodating as possible.

Even more disturbing it becomes when a person is already busy and people refuse to do a simple 'search', be it on google or on in the forums.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Sometimes, yes. People do make comments like *sigh* and similar ones. Its pretty normal.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
:) Whew! Problem solved! One more happy user.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am sorry for contributing to this, but what other comments have I said? Really? I saw your question, I know what it is like to be new, and I tried to help. I thought the other poster was getting iterated, so I said "deep breathe" to keep things light. I did not assault you verbally, or ridicule you.

Nuff said, I am sorry once again, lets please get back to discussing this awesome rom

[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
Hey Mc, you were one of those interested in blue themes or was your request for purple?

I'm gonna be working on some themes today since I don't have any work for my regular job.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think you have me crossed with someone else, or I was drunk and do not remember;)
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
lol possibly but eh, I need some poeple to test this stuff lol. Photoshop doesn't like indexed PNGs to open and edit and they open with some nasty looking junk in the background, I tried running it in my phone though and it still looks ok from what I see. I've got the finger swyping changed to solid blue (light to dark/dark to light) and some of the main icons adjusted and changed but I plan to go through more thoroughly and edit those particular PNGs in GIMP since the FREE GIMP does PNGs better than the SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLAR PHOTOSHOP. I just think that's funny.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Willing to test whatever
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
I can go ahead and send you the file if you want, if you use it AFTER di11is blue theme, then most everything will be blue. Of course, some of my icons replace his, but I think there's some things I edited that he didn't.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am on green, send the file, if it its best I flash blue first I will
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
Sorry - wasn't able to discern this from the thread or OP - are all references to video calling removed in this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
Good question, and I do believe so. I know it was up there at an earlier point, but I can't recall when.

Let me finish up a little bit more before I send for you then.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I waited about five minutes before hitting the power button and shutting the screen off myself.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
+1

I finally migrated from MS Paint to GIMP Portable :)

And next time on, I am changing my color to purple. Too many blue devs here.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Can u try replicating this once more.
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
Yeah I would use GIMP if I could batch mode>RGB, hue/saturate, save I'd be COMPLETELY happy using it. Of course, I've tried looking how to script-fu and all that stuff but that's a little bit beyond me. :P
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Ok. Looks like u r ahead of me here. I manually change every PNG, sometimes taking me hours together.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
Sure thing. If it is gonna happen it will be tonight while I am in bed. I let you know tomorrow. Thanks for trying to figure this out. Much appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] gothpunk4christ:
That's where my 9 hours came from on Sunday with my first blue theme try, and then I wasn't even happy with the results. :(

lol. But yeah there's a little batch called David's Batch Processor that you can do SOME things with files, but it'll ONLY open and work with RGB and there's no hue/saturation option. If you script-fu with it you may be able to get it to work well enough without the addon, but I have NO clue how to go about doing that (And I tried too lol)
