Anyone figure out how to get the voltage script to stick on reboot? Since /etc is in /system I can't get it to work on reboots
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Just upgraded to from 1.6 to 1.7 then reinstalled my circle batt mod. Mikey this steam recovery is dope!! The touch interface is the best. My battery is doing a lot better than most roms I've flashed here as of late and I didn't even wipe batt stats. Just flashed at full batt and recalibrated. I am gonna have to donate bcuz this will be my daily driver for a couple days.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
My voltages are sticking. You have system mounted as R/W and delete all the previous scripts in init.d??

EDIT: Was the 1.7 update supposed to change the GB/android keyboard to blue text when typing?? This threw me off the first time I used it and I was unaware that that the update did that.

I set it to some super high number, like 1GB, but it just stayed at "Sending..." indefinitely.

Random freezing is frequently the blame of OC/UV.

Another reason I ditched it in the base ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I tried to notice a difference, and couldn't. So I just left it.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
The only thing that makes me not switch ROMs every 5-10 minutes, is the fact that i know serendipity will be updated within the next .05 seconds. Haha thanks mike

Getting "failed to copy 'mms.apk' to '/system/app/mms.apk': Read-only file system"

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for all the basic questions. I'm just getting into the whole Android/development world and basically teaching myself :(

If it weren't for everyone on xda I would be completely lost!
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Yes, you are doing something wrong. Try this:

adb push mms.apk /sdcard/
adb shell

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /sdcard
cp mms.apk /system/app
stop
start

Profit.

Seems like the changes to the camera app is making it freeze my phone. I have had it lock up my phone on perfectly stable oc/uv settings.

Hmm. After using the power button to take a picture. The drop down notifications wont work until I clear level 2 memory.... actually the moment I close the camera app, it works again.

Lastly, when I set my brightness to auto, it isn't sticking on reboot.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You don't have to clear anything... just push the power button again and it works.

This is as step up from last version where the home button did nothing. Getting there.

Are the fly in animations compatible with 5.7?

Here is a clear XDA app that works great with this ROM. Uninstall the existing first. Make sure to use the dark theme in setting or it looks bad. Really cool if you have a live wallpaper.

[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Ok, that does work, but I assume that it is a bug that is being fixed because I shouldn't have to lock my phone and then unlock it to get the notification bar to work.

The first and last problem still remain tho :/

It's related to the the fact that the power menu no longer pops up when you hold the power button to take a photo.

It's too good at it's job. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Ohhhh i see. While auto focusing, the power menu doesn't pop up :D

Even so, is there going to be a possible fix for it? or is there no way around it?

And im still quite curious to know if anyone else is having lock up problems when using the camera :/ I have had it happen a couple of times while i was playing with the camera app. This is with tested OC/UV settings that I have been using for awhile with no stability issues.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
This is supposed to fix it, but I'm having a bit of trouble incorporating it.

Hmm, sadly I don't have any experiencing with any kind of coding, but if you are in need of beta testers, or anything of the sort, I would be glad to help :]

Btw, is there a way to implement touch to focus for video recording? It's one of the few features that I really liked from the iPhone and it would be awesome to have it :]

Your work is amazing and without developers like you, I would have returned my Captivate long ago :]
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Only one issue with the camera power button thing, if i tap the screen to focus on something and use the power button to take the photo it does not focus on where i set it. Taking a photo the normal way works fine.

No other issues people have been reporting.

Edit: So yea holding the power button does fix my previous issue and gives me the one everyone else is having lol.

Thanks for the help. I was able to push the mms.apk, but I still can't send mms messages. I tried 5.3, 3.5.1, and even 2.0 versions of the mms.apk. I know mikey said that the mms hasn't changed in forever, but I didn't have this problem until I flashed 5.5. I'm gonna try a master clear/fresh flash of 5.7 and see if I still have the issue.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
That's very bizarre. Fresh flash seems the best option.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I'm sorry to ask this again, but I've been busy (hubby had his hip replaced).

Which services.jar I have to replace to fix the FC's in the wireless/mobile network area of settings? the one from 5.5, or the one from 5.6? I don't have 5.5 to extract anything from. If the proper services.jar could be posted I'll do my first attempt at using ADB to install it - instructions with that would be great, too. By instructions, I just mean the syntax for pushing (but I've never used ADB before.....)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
This is the latest and (to my knowledge) fully funtioning services.jar.

Flash it with Recovery mode.

I flashed the samsung MMS app and I want to revert back. How can I go about doing this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
Ok, so I reverted back to stock, master cleared, and then flashed 5.7. I still can't send MMS messages, and I know the files aren't above the size capacity. However, when I reverted back to stock, I tested it, and I was able to send an image in a MMS (in message: settings>attach>capture image). However, I did notice that when I attached the image it automatically compressed it because the file was too large. I don't think that the compression is the issue, though, as I have tried images that are only a few kb.

I tried to pull the mms.apk from the stock ROM, but i must be doing something wrong....again....How would I go about doing that?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Thank you, Mike, I appreciate it :)

And it was successful!
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
i hate to just keep asking questions, but I couldn't find the answer online. How would one install the settings.apk? I tried using the Sideload wonder machine, but that didn't work. I'm assuming that its only for applications.

Thank all of you for your fast and frequent help. I've never seen an online forum with such generosity for new people.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
You have to copy it over the existing settings.apk (I just did it). I used Root Explorer, copied the new one, navigated to the system/app folder, and paste it - after setting it to read/write. Say yes to overwriting the existing one. It works a treat!
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Thank you very much! :)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
You may have to re boot if it doesn't show up in your app drawer
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
While that's true for applications, the settings don't show up in the app drawer, they show up on the menu button push.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Worked perfectly :cool:

Finally had an excuse to buy Root Explorer. Thank you again Rein :)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
true, though I have a settings icon in my app drawer, that when pressed takes me to the settings menu
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
The settings icon on my home screen did disappear, and I had to reboot to get it to show up in app drawer to replace it, but eh. I like the icons :cool:

These are the steps I used to push multiple different mms.apk's onto my phone while trying to isolate an MMS bug. Make sure the mms.apk you want to use is in the /android-sdk-windows/platform-tools folder.

Hello,

I am on 5.4 and the other day I tried updating it to 5.5.zip through recovery.

IN recovery it says installing update and then it just staying there forever and doesn't install.

Help me I'm getting behind on the updates :( and I don't want to flash straight from new :(

btw can I flash the full ROM 5.7 not the update right on top of my 5.4 ??

Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] :
you can also pm me if you want. thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, you can't go from 5.4 to 5.7 - I can't help you otherwise, I just know you need to do them step by step.

I had a problem going to 5.5 myself, in that I lost the ability to 'go back' to get out of recovery - a nice poster suggested using the menu button, and that worked. Just in case you get that far and experience something similar.

Did you try running the update again? Sometimes the second time it works.

Wait, I just reread your post - you may have downloaded and are trying to install the full ROM if you see a 'bar'. There's no bar when you're flashing 5.4-5.5, or any other step update.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
I think Mikey advises against flashing over previous versions. For a full flash you should revert back to stock (odin), do a master clear, and then flash 5.7 from clockworkmod recovery mode.

Guys. Anyone here having issues to download zip files (updates) using serendipity 5.6???? Do you guys know any download manager i can use to download zip files directly to the phone???
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I use astro to download them to my phone

When in astro file manager, goto menu button -> more -> preferences -> then scroll down to enable browser downloads

(Turn off the browser download when not needed, I forgot what, but it messes with something else)

Then just move them into the root of the SD card and CWM them
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Look for astro file manager in the market. Open it hit menu and goto preferences. Enable browser downloads. Read the pop up.

Download what you need, recovery flash reboot.

The installation instructions on the serendipity site say to wipe my phone with odin master clear.

Do I HAVE to do this? Can I flash Serendipity and all my apps show up if they are still there... or will they be invisible and taking up space on my sd so this is why you should wipe it?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] rdunseith:
Is it a constant problem or just a few? Ask whoever you are sending texts to to see the time received on their end. I was in LA a few days ago and noticed the same. Wondering if it's network lag? Back in Missouri now but going to NY Wed, going to check with my company if there is a delay in recieving.

Well I'm just running stock 2.2 froyo. But I have a bunch of applications installed. Is the odin thing only referring to wiping my rom dir? And not my sd card storage?

I'm just wondering if I can flash the new rom with all of these applications currently installed on my device. Or do I have to delete everything (All my applications and games) with odin master clear and then install the rom.

It says use titanium backup... my TiBa folder has about 70 files. So I just copy that to my computer, format my device, then place that folder back on after I flash the new rom?

This is my first android phone and my first time to flash a rom. It was kinda scary to flash a custom rom as I really don't want to brick my phone, I spent the whole afternoon, did some research and finally did it.

Voice will work no problem, so I assume you mean data? You need to enter the APN. Makes a world of difference.

Menu> settings> wireless and network> mobile networks> Access point names> menu> new APN. Set the name as "Rogers" or whatever you want. Set "APN" as "internet.com". Hit back, click the circle beside your new APN to activate it, done. You will now have data.

There is additional APN info to enter if you wish to send/receive mms messages, but this will get you going on data at least.
