I really enjoy this rom. But im getting really poor battery life... the worst from all other roms ...

I have like 98% display on battery usage....

N I have no live wallpaper with no brightness at all..
[Captivate Android Development] BugsBunny891:
try doing a battery recalibration. sometimes if you flash with a low battery stuff goes crazy
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I think this is what the Nandroid backup in CWM recovery is for. Go into Recovery in 5.12, select backup and restore, backup all. It captures everything, and I mean everything. Then flash whatever you want. When you've finished having your fun, clear the caches, flash 5.12, and go into recovery and Restore All (even though it's "not recommended"). It'll leave your phone at the exact condition it was in before you started messing around. No need for TIBU restores.

I think the backup and the restore process are about 5 minutes, so you can go from testing to your "stock" 5.12 (or whatever) in about 10 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
Just flashed 6.2 a few hours ago and everything is great! Flashed from 5.8 with no problems thus far.

Once again, great work guys! Awesome ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] Timberline:
Ah-freaking-HA!!! Got it! :D

I started completely over from scratch and Odin'd back to stock, then re-started the flash process. The only difference is that rather than restoring the missing apps through TiBu, I re-installed them each from scratch, testing along the way to see if one was causing the problem. There's a Froyo-specific version of Home Switcher that I installed this time rather than the non-Froyo version previously. So maybe the new core is sensitive enough that this mattered.

Anyway, I'm back in business with none of the issues noted above - in fact my Quadrant scores have actually gone up.

GPS Files

Mikey,

I have to say that this is one amazing rom. I've tried all of the others for a couple of days at a time, and they've each had their strong points. I found Phoenix to be my second choice after trying Serendipity. It has everything. Great battery, speed, visually awesome, and smooth. I was just wondering about the GPS files. Are they similar to Phoenix? I've noticed only slight differences between the two, and that's the only place I can see where Phoenix performs slightly better.
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Actually, I'm super glad you updated Swype.

I was using the RED ROM theme, since it's all awesome and junk, and a couple hours after installing it, Swype popped up to say my beta had run out...putting a huge cramp in typing on it.

And I'm thinking.....?????....Since when do we use beta versions of Swype. That had never happened before to me. So I'm thinking maybe you themed the wrong APK for the RED ROM Theme.
[Captivate Android Development] sammyg122:
Awesome

Hey,

Just wanted to say this is an awesome ROM. Had to switch ROMs since my I got that Swype error on a different rom and there was no update for it. First time on serendipity and I love it, so silky smooth! Thanks for all the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
On a much older version it was constantly FC'ing on me. I haven't used it this flash, yet.
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
What kernel should I be using? Just in the first hour of my day (driving to work, listening to podcasts) my battery lost 8% - that's a lot more than I was losing with Serendipity 3 or with the Firebird Kernel.

Any suggestions? Anything I should explicitly AVOID?
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
So do I have to do a full reflash to get it back to green? I chose stock and re-flashed the battery meter but they're still red.

Is it a bad thing to use Rom Manager ? Or is it just easier to use the update.zip ?

Rom Manager is a PITA. Go read Mike's instructions on the Serendipity download page, I'll be following them from now on. My only problem is getting into recovery, it seems to depend on where the moon is, planetary alignment, and perhaps a passing comet....

Keep having problems with Auto Rotate...

On all 2.2.1 ROMs I have tried, after a period of time, my auto rotate quits. It seems to quit quicker if I use Screeble. So I've stopped using Screeble :(

Well, yesterday it stopped again. I've beenon 5.12, and all has been very good.

[sigh/] [endsigh/]

So I am trying UCKB1. Been a bit painful getting it up to speed, but it is fair.

I surely miss Serendipity, and likely will be back. But I'm waiting to see if the Auto Rotate quits on this first.

BTW...the only way I've been able to get the Auto Rotate to start working again is to flash back to stock 2.1. I tried a hard reset on 5.12, and it still did not start working.

If anyone has any ideas. I'm all ears. I have posted about this issue in the past. Seems I may be the only person experiencing it. Maybe it is because I don't flash as often as others here.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Based upon my recent kernel comparison, I've settled on Suckerpunch #56.

With that, I decided to try the NOOP (default), BFQ and CFQ Scheduler options in the Voltage Control app.

It seems that while "NOOP is best used with solid state devices", solid state devices are not necessarily best used with NOOP.

It looks like I'll be using Suckerpunch #56 with CFQ until something better comes along.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I have never had auto-rotate quit on me. I've had it turned off by a program, but it was easily restarted by re-enabling it in the notification area.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yeah, I've heard that before. I lean toward thinking it is hardware issue, but every time I flash back to stock it starts working. Can't swap it out in that case. If its hardware, I wish the thing would just finally quit altogether.

I'm going to suffer with KB1 for 1 few weeks and see if it quits. I am also running Screeble again. That may speed it up.
[Captivate Android Development] AndrewKnow:
Random noob question, anyone having a problem with words with friends? Since flashing 6-6.2 it won't work. I've deleted and reinstalled a few times and still doesn't work.

It doesn't fc, but I get an error with a link after trying to log in.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
It's due to the built-in ad blocking. I downloaded AdFree from the market and hit revert, and now it works, but I get ads.

Check out my post a few pages back. Make sure your accelerometer works. Mine is completely disabled but after going into test mode *#0*# I was able to make it work. If you can get into that menu you will see an option for accelerometer. Mine does not work on 6.2 . It does work on 6.0 but I can't figure out why it doesn't now and I can no longer access that test menu :confused:

Mine is working atm, as I have gone back to stock, and now on KB1 (2.2) -> :(

Anyway, when it quits again, I will give this a try. It seems to me I have tested the sensor some how in the past when it was messing up, and it appeared to be not working.

I don't know why flashing back to stock would fix it.

Samsung Galaxy S II hits the FCC, potentially ready for AT&T 3G

By Sean Hollister posted Mar 13th 2011 11:21AM

Surely you remember the Samsung GT-i9100, colloquially known as the Galaxy S II? Sammy's been tight-lipped about which US cellular carriers might offer it, but the Federal Communications Commission might have an idea. You see, the Exynos 4210-toting Super AMOLED Plus smartphone just made its way to the FCC authorization database, 850MHz and 1900MHz GSM frequencies in tow -- which just so happen to be the ones required to get a gig at AT&T. Mind you, the handset could also be moonlighting in Canada with those particular bands, but the odds are decent we'll see it stateside sooner than that. By the by, this particular Galaxy S II is also sporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, meaning it'll almost certainly come with dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi.

The Galaxy S II wasn't the only Samsung to hit the FCC this week, though, as the SGH-i708 also dropped on by -- it appears to be a worldphone with 850 / 1900MHz GSM frequencies alongside CDMA, EV-DO, and the standard Bluetooth and 2.4GHz WiFi.

Finally got this installed but yeah my battery life still sucks (good thing I have 3). Even at 1Ghz it was draining way too fast so I am even thinking on trying a different kernel as I have always used Setiron's.

Change Voltage Control settings

Hit Apply For Now and Apply As Boot Settings

Reboot

[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
yea, that site is blocked at work. Damn IT folks! :)
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I'm in the same boat as Mikey. I have tried setting /system as RW (and I checked to make sure etc and init.d were R/W as well) and then switched to Voltage app and hit set as boot and after rebooting they don't stick. The voltage script file is there in init.d but it isn't executing at boot. I have no-rfs ext4 lagfix applied with Steam. I have tried it a bunch of times and made no progress

Also for people that are having issues with applying themes in steam recovery I have found that the latest Darkness theme worked fine even though prior to trying darkness I couldn't get any other themes to work (I tried 4-5 themes from i9000 section).

So, I replaced the system folder in the darkness theme .zip with the system folder from Generation-X theme and then tried it in Steam and it worked.

When you apply the generation X theme in CWM recovery you will notice that they have included text that shows up when your applying it. I suspect this causes steam to say bad (status 2)
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
1. drop the files on your SD card

2. Use Root Explorer to move the files to your System/App folder

3. Reboot

Unless you absolutely have to play against someone on the iPhone, Word Feud is much better. Words With Friends crashes way too often, it then has to reset itself, you have to log back in, and then you have to wait while it reloads all your games. After about the 10th time of going through that I deleted the app.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found one (it is slightly different tho- no contact pictures by each message, but no qualms about that)

Use Root Explorer and drop the apk in /system/app. Replace the mms.apk already present.

Its the ad blocking that is causing the issue with word with friends. If you want to play you can download an app called adfree, run the app, and If you click revert it reenables ads and word with friends will work, but you will now have ads on all your free apps that run them. Or you can wait for wwf to release the pay version.

Just a quick note to say thanks for this great ROM (just sent my donation), and also that 6.2 is working great for me. I'm a ROM newbie, with 5.12 being my first foray into customizing my Captivate. A few days later, 6.0, then 6.1 and 6.2 came out, so I did a clean wipe and installed those. Anyone else like me who was on the fence about trying out a ROM, I'd say give it a shot and go for it if you have a little bit of tech know-how, and can follow instructions.
