Yes I am aware that they have to be in U.S. dollars for it to work. I am trying to purchase keep the lights on pro (which is in U.S. dollars) and it does not give me the bill to AT&T option. Can you try to see if it gives you the option?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It gives me the option for At&t billing. Trying clearing your market cache.
[Captivate Android Development] jayrod88:
I just got it to work and I think I know why it didn't work at first. It seems that when I first booted the rom up and accessed the market, I was only on wi-fi (my sim was not in the phone when I flashed 5.0). This seems like since I did not have my sim in it at first market access, it did not register as an at&t phone I guess. All I had to do was clear my market cache and it took care of it.

Thanks!

Download Jig: No Go

I picked up several different packs of 100k ohm resistors, made some jigs and each one did not work. My phone is still stuck on phone!comp. Oh well, I suppose I will have to stop by att and TRY to exchange my phone.

Would it matter that I got the phone from wirefly with a 2y contract?

Also, what should I tell att? I was thinking just saying plainly that my phone randomly shut off then when I tried turning it on it was like that. Or telling att that my phone froze halfway through an Android or Samsung update then appeared at that screen.

(Also, tell them I'm really bad with technology ;) hehehe)
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Tell them that the OTA update did that. Tell them your battery accidently fell out during the update.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Speed up your boot time by disabling MediaScanner

If you don't need/use MediaScanner, you can speed up your boot time by disabling it:

Easy to re-enable it if you need to (replace "disable" above by "enable")
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
Sounds plausible to me :]
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Dunno if you tried this already, but when my phone was like that, the only method that worked for me was keeping the USB plugged into the phone and holding both volume keys + power, then goes straight to Download for me.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Sorry if I'm repeating a suggestion to you. (Didn't read previous posts)

But I have seen that screen all too often. What I normally do is open oneclick odin. Have my usb ready, unplug the phone, pull the battery, wait 10-15 seconds, put the battery back in and hold down the vol up/down buttons after 2 seconds plug the usb in and it should bring you into download mode.

Make take several tries, once it took me over 20 mins to finally get it.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
If he made the jig right and that didn't work. Then he'd be better off to get a replacement.
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
Yeah, since I tried everything I've read, multiple jigs, 300k ohm resistors 1/2 watt and 1/4 watt. Also added a 1k ohm resistor to each after they both failed, since I read the optimal ohmage is 301k, still nothing. Wasn't touching any metal, had it in clear tape, then electrical tape, then both with latex gloves. Put them on the 4/5 pins each time for 2-20 seconds several times while off, and also while on the phone!comp screen.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
What would be the best reason or explanation for AT&T so they could replace the phone? Just curious.

[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
The same exact thing happened to me, and I told them what he said he thought of telling them; I said that it was in the middle of an update and that it froze, then rebooted and went to that screen.

Now... that's not a complete lie, which is why I said it. I was flashing with CWM (hence the "update"), and it just stopped, hence the "freeze". So I "rebooted" (I pulled the battery), and it wouldn't go into Download mode.

They replaced the phone without asking, I just told them the fake story anyway (:
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
Hahaha that is true, it's not completely a lie!

PS was using your theme right before, was really nice, ha thanks
[Captivate Android Development] calvinwong:
So is this 2.2 or 2.3?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:

It took me several tries too, I got it after about 2 hours of trying.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Sorry, search didn't turn up anything. Can anyone tell me how long this takes?
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
I don't wanna jynx anything but I think I just got it. I made a new jig, 3 100k ohm resistors and 1 1k ohm @ 1/4 watts. First time anything happened the jig turned my phone on to the phone!comp so I pulled the batt. Tried once again and got download mode! :cool:

Ooh, Odin just finished, yee ;)

Just got home. If you mean how long flashing the ROM takes. It will vary wildly depending on how much data you need to retain. If you have backups in place and follow the directions Mikey posted, you're looking at easily less than an hour.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant to grant wishes and cure cancer. Also, was watching CNN and the world peace thing isn't working either. Will wait for 5.1.

Anyone having problem with the wi fi policy after changing the theme? I've noticed that with certain themes the wifi never goes off. Right now im using r64 white.

Funny stuff lol I started to give you a smart ass "noob" response for not being more specific with your first question but now I understand...i knew for a fact you had been here long enough to know how long anything flash related takes lol
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Thanks I found it, I was searching for a solid 5 minutes before I realized I was on another forum. Haha
[Captivate Android Development] bennijai:
Well I have used this rom for about 2 days now and I am very please with 5.0. Very stable, great battery life (still 50% left after 18 hrs of medium use), responsive, fast confections, simple yet elegant theming, and the chicks are going crazy.

I don't know what else you could possibly do in 5.1...
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
The only issue really is the themed gmail app with HTML emails where you cannot read the text and that can be corrected by replacing the original gmail app. It is unfortunate because I do like the theme. Can't complain about anything else at this point. Pretty solid.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Looking for the original market apk to. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mishtype:
I think if the gold/yellow loading images and selection highlights were light grey or matching green it would compliment the already awesome aesthetics this ROM has. My vote is for light grey. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It would be too monotonous. Green, yellow, and orange are analogous colors, and they go well together.
[Captivate Android Development] mishtype:
Fair enough. The go well together part is subjective, but I love this ROM either way. The calendar is the bees knees!

Can columns and rows be adjusted? Widgets too without using LPP?

I want to keep the serendipity layout but want to resize widgets and the columns and rows. Is this possible?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
You could use different launchers like LauncherPro, Zeam or any other launchers so you can resize your widgets, columns and rows.

Sent from my Muscles using Brain Cells
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
.bashrc or .bash_profile?

Is there any support for something like .bashrc or .bash_profile in this ROM - anything that will run at every shell startup?

Or is that a kernel-level thing?
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
If you want to resize EVERYTHING on the phone, get LCD Density Changer app from Market.

ADW and Launcher Pro will both let you change the number of icon rows/columns in the home screens, and resize widgets.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
GO Launcher EX (free) does that too. Plus so much more that the other launchers don't come close to providing.
[Captivate Android Development] crossover37:
Awesome, thanks. LPP was too buggy, hopefully this launcher ex will be as smooth as the stock serendipity 5.0.

[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Mikeymike,

Awesome rom. Quick question, any reason you use the jpy base instead of the xwjs3 base? Just curious because a lot of other developers are using it. Are there any advantages of the jpy vs the xwjs3?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The question should be "Are there any advantages to JS3?".

To which I have not found anyone who says yes. Nor a reason to redo everything (which is what changing bases requires).
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
I agree, I was just wondering. I love the new gmail btw. Thanks for the reply.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Mikey - Just a suggestion if this is something you can correct. See attached image. I cut a small section of an email and the text is a little too dark as you can see. I can read it which is great but would be better it were brighter. It of course looks better in screenshot but on phone it is more difficult. Thanks as always.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't think there's much that can be done beyond making the background a dark grey instead of black.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I am only one person so see what other people think, but I think various lighting conditions may make it difficult for some to read the text. But I am happy it is visible :)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well that's.... pleasant.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
One more small observation about gmail... the read/unread white colors are very subtle. If there is anyway to brighten new messages and/or darken unread messages, it would make it easier to distinguish between the two.

Can we flash 5.1 over 5.0 without a wipe (I hope!)

Also, the first download link on the web page is broken, I got 'problem loading page'. Had to use the mirror.

Also, if you guys don't like ROM Manager, why is it still listed in the installation method?
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Did you click download or mirror cause mirror works.

The file is 137mb do I don't think you can flash over :(.

Hoping my assumption is not true ahaha
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
yes, you can flash 5.1 over 5.0, the update file is only ~3.5MB. and rom manager is needed for the less experienced people to install clockworkmod recovery. rom manager itself, however, must never be used to install other .zip files such as updates because it overwrites the specialized kernel recovery with the normal clockworkmod recovery, among other things, and that's why they don't like it.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Well, the zip file I got from the mirror is the full 5.1 at 134 megs. Do you have a link to the 3.5 mb file you mentioned?

Oh, ok, there's an update page, and it's posted there - that needs to be made more obvious, right on the first page of the website, I think.

For some reason, I can't drop files into the zip file (Serendipity_5.1.zip) to add or replace certain things.

Another question: could I simply replace the modem.bin and redbend_ua files in the updates folder before I flash the ROM, so I don't have to flash the separate modems in CWM after I flash this? Is that also possible with the kernel?
