I was thinking that I had seen that the Voice Dialer.apk would install on this ROM. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I've tried with Root Explorer. And I tried placing the apk file in System/app. No go.

Any thoughts?

I am having problems with my black colored parts of my launcher and notification menu having a tint of red. Can any one help me out?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Agreed x1000. Just flashed back to it (had switched to the serendipity default for a while) and I'm glad to have the UV/OC settings.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
What method did you use to install?

Maybe its because of different kernel? Different version of the apk.

When I install with Root Explorer, it goes through the motions, but then when finishes it says "Not Installed".
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Please post your build number in the Kitchen thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
you should probably use adb to push it to /system/app

[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I just read the following at http://forum.androidcentral.com/t-captivate-rooting-roms-hacks/52984-kernel-upgrade-2.html

Will Speedmod with the "faster (less safe) mounting option" also improve the Linpack score, and how "less safe" is it?

I looks like Suckerpunch Build #50 has UV/OC & "improved sharpness". Any opinions regarding Suckerpunch vs GB as far as sharpness & battery life? Do I have to disable the ext4 lagfix before switching to GB's kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Mines set at 1000mhz max and -50 on the uv. I'm hoping the -50 improves battery life and I don't think this phone could run any faster safer. Its amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
The build number will be sufficient. You can post it HERE. Preferably before midnight because the build logs get wiped every night.

If you're running a Speedmod kernel, try going into Recovery > Speedmod ULK features > Color & Brightness options > Cold Color (More Blue)

hey i got a question... i love this rom but i have noticed that for the call fowarding section there is no way to set the timer on it ... i used another rom and i know i could set it like 25 secs and 30 secs, etc....

so is there a way to do that in this rom??

Also for bluetooth most other roms have the ability to accept one computer to always accept file.... this one doesnt seem to? ...

i love the roms theming so if these two things would work out itd be perfect for me :D

Edit: last weird bug i have found is when i have notifications... the notification bar becomes very laggy when pulling it up or down (im using the transparent pack of yours) :S...
[Captivate Android Development] Ptrout:
So far speed and smoothness beats out all other roms I have tried.

I seems to be missing the default email client, that support exchage mail, contacts, calendar. Is it not part if serendipity? Is there a way to get it back, I have tried the app store but could not find it. I liked the push email and having notification as emails arrived real time.

Thanks

Never mind, just found add on page on main website . Sorry reading comp > me :)

I hate to agree with you ridethelight because you are such a turd, but I must on this one. The captivate screen is great, far better then the retina or really anthng else i have seen so far. just my opinion and the way my eyes see it. Could the gradiants have anything to do with the way the images were optimized? I don't know but its never bothered me... I really am ready for a dual core, more ram, a bigger screen, and a forward facing camera though...

Had a black screen after boot on my home screen today after installing the Samsung Email and the Circle Battery addon from the kitchen.

Luckily I had Widget Locker running on the lock screen and installed a shortcut to the settings. After going into settings and then back out the home screen was there. But not after booting again. Uninstalled Launcher Pro (I guess my default launcher wasn't starting). Reinstalled and booted a few more times and it finally cleared up.

Didn't do the cleanest install of this ROM could be a hiccup from that. Could be LP doing something funky. Didn't really have any issues till I did the addon install. Just thought I would share.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thank you mike!!!!!

Mike -

Just wanted to say thanks for Serendipity!

I bought two Captivate phones on the first day of their release. I had no idea about anything Android on that day.

Since buying those phones, I learned that:

1. They don't run Adobe Flash, because

2. They're only running Android 2.1, and

3. Samsung will likely NEVER do anything about it and

4. AT&T added a bunch of bloatware AND

5. AT&T DISABLED things like tethering and Mobile AP,

and as a result the Captivate is the biggest piece of crap out there.

I also learned a lot more.

Then, thanks to you, I learned that:

1. xda-developers ROCKS

2. It's possible to free my phones from the AT&T chains

3. I can do all the stuff I "should" be able to do with MY phone

4. I can be bloatware-free

5. I can have Adobe Flash.

and that the Captivate is actually a pretty good hardware platform.

I've been running Serendipity on my phones since the first day of ITS release (I had just put on 4.3 when you announced 5.0, so I bumped to it right away.)

Now, thanks to you, my Captivate phones are AMAZINGLY AWESOME and doing EVERYTHING I COULD HOPE FOR! Just when I was in the pit of despair and thinking I would have to abandon my phones, Samsung, and everything, and just stick with laptops the rest of my life, YOUR KERNEL SAVED ME from having to go buy a new phone at full retail (and roll the dice again!)

THAT is worth AT LEAST a hundred bucks! So I sent it your way.

THANK YOU MIKE, and thank you EVERYONE at XDA-DEVELOPERS for SAVING US from the STUPIDITY OF AMERICAN CARRIERS!!!!!

With great respect,

Glen

2x Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (AT&T, Unlocked, Rooted, Serendipity)

just wondering if anyone else has wifi connection issues.

im running 5.5 and my wifi will randomly disconnect and then be out of range when im 3 feet from the access point.

btw, i think it only happens when connectiong to my ad hoc at home.

will have to test around town to find out otherwise
[Captivate Android Development] nawlage:
i decided to update to 5.10 and am going in order from 5.5 to 5.6, 5.6 to 5.7 and so on. can i delete those 5.x to 5.x zips when im done and just have the serendipity 5.5 zip from the original flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
yes you can delete the incrementals. If you want to have a copy of the full rom on your sd just in case you can grab a copy of the full version as well.

Chancem
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
You don't need to keep any of the rom zips on your sd card after its installed. The only point in keeping it is if you wanted to reflash from cwm. :)
[Captivate Android Development] rootmepls:
I only installed 5.10. Was I supposed to install every update first from 5.0? At least its working. Just one hiccup with the home screen and Launcher Pro seems gone.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
You only install the update zips if you're already running Serendipity
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Just tried, and having weird issue. When I type "Adb Remount" so that it will not be read only, I get the error " remount failed: Operation not permitted". I must not be finding the right tutorials on ADB.

I didn't say on the post you quoted, but I noted in my original post that I did try it that way, and it does not work.

Great, thanks. Maybe that is what I need. I don't know what version I have, as I can't run it to tell. But I'll sure try another that someone knows is working :D

Thanks everyone...

Are you using N Access Points? I had problems with it constantly dropping, although not as bad as you. It would usually drop only 2-3 seconds, maybe a bit longer, and occasionally over 3 minutes.

I now have N and G APs running, and set up the N to not allow my phone to hook to it, and it is staying hooked fine. It's a bummer to not be able to use the N, but that seems to be the case.

BTW...I tried multiple modems, and it may vary as to how bad it was, but all dropped when hooking to my N router.

Sleep of Death

Just experienced sleep of death post full charge... not sure if it was self induced as i had flashed 5.10 (fresh) over Supernova, both using Hardcores latest 13B.

I had indeed, disabled lagfix, cleared the Dalvik, battery stats and then installed 5.10 over, re-cleared Dalvik post install and TiBu (apps+DATA)...

Will try a full re-install from stock later today to see if anything repeats... Anyone experienced similar issue?
[Captivate Android Development] bpk59:
If by sleep of death you mean you lose all voice/data connectivity and need to reboot your phone to get it back, then yes, I've gotten that as well. I even went from stock right to 5.7, and have updated to latest and still get that about every day and a half.
[Captivate Android Development] rootmepls:
So where exactly should I have started with installations? What version number or update.

I might just do a full wipe if I have to start with 5.5 or earlier.

Thing is it seems to be running very well after flashing over Cog 3.04 with 5.10. Just one issue with the homescreen not loading on boot sometimes and I think thats an issue with LP.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Well usually, you'd flash the full ROM, say 5.2 for example. Then once Mikey and Chance release an update, you would go 5.2->.3->.4->etc. There is no set start point, but the update packages are for people who are already on that specific version of Serendipity.

I don't know what the consequesnces would be, of starting with an update package, but I don't think you'd be able to get very far.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If you did a full wipe right now, you'd download the full version of 5.10.

After UTFSE for hours with keywords: autorotate, orientation, accelerometer, etc. I have yet to find a solution to an autorotate to landscape issue that first occured in Andromeda 1.1 and now Serendipity 5.8-5.10. Also read and have discovered that some with the same issue are also having problems with proximity sensor.

Have done ultra clean, step by step installs with no short cuts to no avail. Only to read condescending remarks that "us few individuals" out of the thousand that installed the same ROMs must have used an I9000 kernal and not one specificly designed for Captivate. To humor myself and others I flashed the most recent SpeedMod k13b "made for the Captivate", and low and behold.........no change.

Any tips for better keywords so I can UTFSE some more, or would some generous soul like to respond with a possible solution?

Not sure what you mean by N and G access points. My terminology is prolly wrong. By access point I meant my pc. Here is my sitch: my pc is connected to cable internet via ethernet cable. I used connectify and virtual router to try and access my cable internet with my phone via my pcs wifi. The whole point being to not use my limited data plan while at home. It works but like I was saying the connection is a lil shoddy and i get dropped and usually can't reconnect. Sometimes a restart of the pc helps but not always. I have tried setting my phone ip to static and connecting that way but it never worked. Maybe i need to look into this N and G that you speak of..

And to the people that said I can delete the incremental update zips, thank you.

[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
It seems smoother too, but it could just be a placebo effect. I've switched back to it after using the Firebird kernal for a while (great kernal). I tried Glitterball's kernal for a little bit and it wasn't that smooth for me with adw launcher.

Edit: It's definitely buttery smooth for me and isn't as bright/color saturated as the other two kernals I mentioned. The clearer text is also an excellent bonus.

My wifi is great, as is my battery.

However, I'm having a serious problem with bluetooth. Had the Motorola HX-1 Endeavor, switched to the Motorola Finiti bluetooth earpiece which... when it's connected, it's great.

But it has a habit of disconnecting randomly - usually when a call is coming in or within the first minute. My Pioneer stereo in my car - AVIC-X920BT - also randomly disconnects too.

Is there anything else I could test? Bluetooth connections to my Mac or PC are pretty seamless - no disconnects that I can remember, but I'm willing to continue testing.

Any and all help will be great.

I switched to serendipity 5.10 from perception 10.4. Things seem to be running smoothly. I currently have speedmod and kp1. My problem is my battery. The very first time i flashed a rom I didn't do it on a full charge. I've tried the bump charge and deleting batterystats.bin file etc etc... Nothing helps.
