With the stand alone steam kernel can I just flash through CWM once its uploaded? Cant wait to try it out!! 32bit display...lol!! I've heard good things about your Glitterball Kernel. Are they not the same?
[Captivate Android Development] dicksteele:
Cool not just me. Have you tried again ?
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Read my post on the first page of this thread for more info.

Specifically:
[Captivate Android Development] dicksteele:
Have you gotten an answer or got it to work ? I tried late last night. Havent attempted again today.
[Captivate Android Development] grayfoxx:
I've flashed 2.2.1 roms all day yesterday and this is the first one without unbearable issues (accelerometer bugs, home button problems, etc) it runs great! One question I have though....What is the benefit or goal behind removing email.apk and gtalk from the build? Most people use email and adding the extra step to install it seems weird to me. I realize some folks may want to use different packages but it is just as easy to replace the original as it is to load one. I had to give Mike's donation to the root explorer guys to get the Email.apk into /system/app as I had problems with adb and terminal. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] drizzle67:
you finally got me to try a rom!! this one looks awesome! but i think you had me even before the screenshots... it was the music and lightning!! i can't wait to flash it today!
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Is it just me??? My USB debugging won't turn on even when it is ticked under settings applications.
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
OK.

Sounds like you got something up your sleeve...... ;)

I'm back to stock but will wait to do anything else.
[Captivate Android Development] dicksteele:
I'm getting same FC's guess I'll try it one more time.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's on, but I removed the useless and annoying notification from appearing.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
1.5

Removed Video Call from End Call screen
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Is ADB not working for you, or are you just not seeing the icon on the notification bar? OP mentions:

If it still isn't working, check your adb settings in Steam under boot options.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Should wait to flash current set up
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I tried root explored the clockpackage.apk but it doesn't show up on my appdrawer. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Exaggerated Claims Go Here Apparently

this is the greatest title you have ever put, even better than slowest and most bug ridden rom

the titles are getting out of hand
[Captivate Android Development] PotatoJ:
Well yeah there are exaggerated claims. Chuck Norris most likely does not use this ROM. And "304% more optional awesomeness?" cannot be proved mathematically. All in good humor :P.
[Captivate Android Development] Rockasama:
My very first TiBu I lost call history and cell text msgs, but I think it's fixed (others can attest). Like a week after that I heard about MyBackup Pro and bought it once I saw the interface.
[Captivate Android Development] wvumaniac79:
As soon as I saw Paragon's title I just had to see what you had came up with, best one ever.
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
where is the google talk app?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
It's an optional download. Check the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
This fix did not work for me.

Sent Via xda App
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
I love the black theme for the gmail app, thanks for including it in this ROM. I did notice something that isn't a huge deal however maybe something to look into for future releases. When I select an email and click on the label button the selection menu pops up white with all my labels listed. When I scroll to find the appropriate label the menu background goes black (can't read anything because the font is also in black) until it stops scrolling then goes back to white. Again, not being anal here just wanted to point it out. Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Hey ChanceM, thanks much for your contributions! What is the original problem with Mms.apk that we would need to perform this fix? Thanks bud.
[Captivate Android Development] purplebear:
Speaking of gmail, I don't like the themed one. Can I just uninstall and reinstall it from the market?

Oh whatever
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
For me the problem is the texts lining up in the way they are sent and receives. I dont know if this fix is actually copying over as it didn't do anything for me.

Sent Via xda App
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
yea that is one of the ways to do it...probably the easiest too...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
As I said in the post, I used Root Explorer to put the APK in System/App. Do I need to put it in the ZIP file before installing the ROM?

SPEED

The modem on this is providing the fastest downloads I have ever experienced on 3G:
[Captivate Android Development] purplebear:
Thanks.

Oh whatever
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You shouldn't have to...I used super manager to put the clock in system/app then rebooted and it was there...not sure why it would be giving you problems...and I didn't mean to act like you didn't i/o the difference in apk and .7z but with some of the questions asked on here its hard to assume anything lol
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
What does this fix exactly?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Quick question.

Anyone know the Hex code for the Gingerbread green color? I am wanting to customize my minimalistic text to match the gingerbread green in this rom and wanted to know the Hex color code to match?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks. Oh, I didn't take offense to your suggestion, in fact I appreciate the response. Its better to cover all possibilities.

In fact, on the clock, I re-downloaded the apk. I may have downloaded the original one that didn't work (based on reading the link to it, apparently the first one had a problem).

I'll try again on Allshare too.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I believe it's this:
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Thats it thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] JBM12G:
Hey, in the next release could you change the phone icon to the one in gingerbread?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Loving this but the problem is that it gets rid of the green on the lockscreen clock.. Any word on fixing this?
[Captivate Android Development] abteer:
Is there any way to unzip the video and email 7 zip on my phone. Don't have my data transfer cable and won't for awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Hey Mike, my bad the program I used the first time clearly did not overwrite the existing apk with this one. It works! My messages at in sync from the times they are sent. Thanks a lot! :D
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Yes, I used AndroZip File Manager, it's in the market
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
On version 3.0

This morning I received a phone call, and this is what happened.

1) Phone started ringing

2) backlight came on

3) it showed my lock pattern screen instead of who was calling.

4) I decided to unlock the screen seen if it would work

5) the dialer app crashed apparently and ended the call

6) I couldn't see who called me as it did not record the phone call

So any idea what causes this? It does not happen but randomly, and I don't know what makes it occur.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
can someone upload phone.apk please? thanks in advance :)
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
+1 - On 3.0 I have experienced what appears to be the same issue. Not quite random. It appears to happen more consistently for me under the following scenario:

1. Turn the screen off with the power button (i.e. simple idle state. NOT silent mode).

2. Get a call more than 5 minutes after I have turned the screen off.
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
I was informed that steam will not allow for flashing themes from recovery as I found this out first hand. Does anyone know if this is strictly related to flashing themes or flashing anything in general

If so, I ssume there is current and further developement of steam to allow this in the future ?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
I am running Serendipity 2.0 and the battery life is seriously diminished compared to what I was running previously. I've seen mention of a SpeedMod kernel to use that can increase the battery life, is this the best option to use? If i use it, do I need to do a clean flash and reinstall everything over again or is there an easier way?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
I assume you mean the one from this ROM?

If so, here it is:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4516127/serendipity3.5.2/Phone.apk
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Same with 3.5.2. Battery life is not as good as Gingerborg 7.5. However, it's got great eye candy (theme, lock screen etc).
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
What rom do you suggest?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
thanks, yes, from this rom or else i'd ask in other thread :p
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
You can still use Serendipity, you can just uv'd GB's kernel or you can use SpeedMod kernel. You don't need to redo all the steps mentioned on the op. Just copy the SpeedMod on the root of sdcard, then go to recovery and flash it. What I'm doing is clearing the dalvik cache first before flashing any kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
ADB Wifi

You can do ADB over Wifi - no cable required

Search "ADB Wifi" in the market.

EDIT: doesn't work in recovery mode, obviously
[Captivate Android Development] PotatoJ:
Finally got this installed ... took some screenshots of the black market for anyone who wants it (there are none in the OP).
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
ChanceM hasn't uploaded a new one yet. When he does it will be v04
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
It should fix an alignment issue if you have pictures set for your contacts.
[Captivate Android Development] javierationmex:
I've tried to flash both themes and regular zip's and it wouldnt allow me. Always said something about status 2 error. Dont know about further development but I hope so because steam is pretty cool. Just sucks to have to go back and forth if you want to install a theme or anything else for that matter
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Also just an FYI in the framework-res for 3.0 and up the data throttling was changed from 300 kbps to 450 kbps.

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
What does uv mean? Or how do I do it?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
UV means undervolting, contrary of overclocking. You can do that by using Voltage Control App. Setting the limit from 1200hz to 1000hz or configuring the mv options below. But I suggest you to use the SpeedMod kernel instead, it's fast and the battery life is better, that's for me though.
[Captivate Android Development] southerncomfort76:
First time post in XDA. But I feel this ROM is worth posting. Excellent work on this ROM. Looks great. Works great. The only thing I find that dkesnt work is using phone through headset (i keep my Captivate plugged into my truck stereo for music and phone calls.) I have a bluetooth hands free, so its not a big deal.

Excellent work guys.

Captivate running Serendipity 3.5.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
+2 can this at least be addressed? The phone portion of the phone is important to me. It still occurs on 3.5.2. Odin > master clear> flash. Still does it. :(

EDIT: I have redownloaded and will try flashing again. Also, I'm on the default kernel (not steam).
[Captivate Android Development] southerncomfort76:
ps....cant find your donate link. How to?

Captivate running Serendipity 3.5.2.
[Captivate Android Development] haayleyy:
Love this rom but now on 8.5.2 it is shutting itself off and taking forever to realize I pressed the power button to turn the screen on.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Its in the op. You have to log into the regular site.
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
Same here. this happened as soon as I stayed from stock so I don't think it's specific to flashing this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] ltran882:
hi, after I flash the 3.5.2, the Market doesnt work for me, it always pops up the error
[Captivate Android Development] Nucleartx:
Just reflashed back to stock and rooted and was about to flash it and I'm seeing these new errors. Will have to wait and see I guess now.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
So I got into download mode by installing a 3buttonfix.zip via CWM.

I used Odin3 exactly like your supposed to.

My phone is now back to stock but still showing all files on my SD card. I even tried a factory reset and it still shows them. Can I just delete all the files on my SD card?

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
It's happened to me as well. 3.2
[Captivate Android Development] :
Anyone else not getting GPS lock ?

I get 6 or 7 satellites when I do position test but on maps it' takes so long to get my position sometimes it doesn't even get my position and says location unavailable

Can someone help ?
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
You can just do a master clear in Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Yeah I just did one click jf6.... basically flash to stock, then master reset, and then jf6 again. That is the only cleanest way I have found....

Mikey You have done it!!! This ROM is perfect.... AMAZING!!! Donations coming now.
[Captivate Android Development] purplebear:
I get the same. GPS Test gets sats and locks great. Maps never/rarely finds me.

Oh whatever
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Hmn, weird. I used Odin3 to go back to stock and also did the master reset. It completed and everthing! Reset the phone like normal too.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Yeah I master resetted that way, seems to be the cleanest I can get it.

Mikey just donated another $20 to you... Great work!
[Captivate Android Development] southerncomfort76:
Yea. Sorry. Didnt mean this ROM only. Its been every 2.2+ ROM I have run. I only mention that because it would be great if someone found a fix for that. I enjoy listening to my wife bit**ing at me in surround sound in my truck on the way home from work!

Captivate running Serendipity 3.5.2.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
It's just odd.

I used Odin3, master clear. Back to stock. And my files on my SD are still showing. Blah; help someone! Does it really matter if all my files are showing; I really don't care about any of them... Can I just delete all of them?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
To Master Clear you have to be at the home screen with USB Debugging on. Then plug it in, then Master Clear. Then you wait for your phone to do it's thing and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Yep, I did exactly this! I was actually in a chat on Xbox Live with Barbarian and we were both puzzled.

Does it matter which Odin3 I use? Also, build 1010 for the loss.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
How do you clear dalvik cache? Thx.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Reboot into recovery. Its in the advanced menu.

Lets go JETS
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Go to recovery menu then advanced cwm. You should see 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' over there.

[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Thanks very much!

Will try Speedmod Kernel to see if it will improve battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Small update:

I was having phone app FC's (random) and the epic lockscreen would send me into a boot loop. I just redownloaded and reflashed in hopes I either a) had a corrupted download or b) a corrupted flash. I odin back to stock and master clear as usual. Actually master cleared twice this time with a reboot in between each. One thing I've noticed is that, unlike my previous 2 reflashes, I do NOT receive the SU error (which required me to hit "problems?" in Tibu and install busybox. I see this as a good sign. All of the lockscreens work fine (although they did on my 2nd reflash as well but only right after I flashed it) I'm about to restore via Tibu (missing apps with data [no system data]). One other thing I noticed is that the market is NOT themed (keep in mind I have no restored via tibu [not that it should matter since I do not restore system data]).

There's no way in hell I'm testing the lockscreens after I restore!! So don't ask. I'll report back on SU permissions as I use particular apps (android ID changer will be the first, it previously has required me to install busybox from the market [only recently with serendipity]).

So in recap (there's been a lot of updates in the last few days so my reflashes are different versions) -

1st flash (3.0): Put speedmod kernel in ROM .zip file BEFORE I flashed along with other .apk's. = Failed, SU errors, needed to download busybox and hit "problems" in Tibu, phone FC's, bootloop.

2nd flash (3.0): Flashed WITHOUT changing the kernel (nor did I change it after I flashed) however I still added in some .apk's. = Failed, still same issues as above.

3rd flash (3.5.2): Re-downloaded, did NOt touch the .zip file at ALL. No .apk's or anything. Will install these after via super manager. So far success, no FC's not even at bootup! I have not had time to test the phone FC though. No busybox or SU errors. Like I said earlier the market is NOT themed for me for some reason...there was no cache to clear either. I'll update later on issues, if any, I encounter.

EDIT: Android ID changer success! First gave me an error writing to database but when I retried it rebooted and success! I'm feeling good about this flash. Bummed about no black market though =-(
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I modified/tweaked a GPS fix that was posted a long time ago. I changed a few things and it's 100% flawless! If you want it, let me know and I'll re-post it. (Can't remember what page it's on)
[Captivate Android Development] njd911:
anyone have this issue...or is it just an isolated issue. Sorry if I'm being impatient
[Captivate Android Development] Yayodroid:
i wouldnt mind trying it out :D
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
For those with GPS issues, here's a fix that has worked flawlessy for myself and a lot of others. It works so well, that I bought a windshield/dash mount for my Cappy. Along with the CWM .zip fix, I've included detailed instructions. Follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. Please post your results...Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Have these been clean or dirty flashes? Unless you already are, it sounds like a lot of your trouble here could be avoided by flashing back to stock JF6 and doing a master clear before install.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Yeah I do that every time (I'm too newb to not follow the instructions to the T). I mentioned it at the beginning of my post :D That's what was so frustrating about the whole ordeal, they felt like dirty flashes but they were all clean and by the book. So far so good on current flash (except no black market).
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I get a lock in a few seconds with 5-9 sats as it stands with Ser 3.5.x, as long as I'm outside. It varies inside from no lock, but a couple sats visible, to a lock in a few seconds. Is this thing that much better? Is there a reason you have to operate in Standalone mode as opposed to MS Based for this to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I made some changes, tested, made more changes. I finally came to rest on what I posted. If your GPS has any issues at all, try what I posted.
[Captivate Android Development] cupps:
Awesome. My GPS had been consistently just a bit off for a while. That worked perfectly!

Also, has anyone else had an issue installing Black Market? The first time I loaded the latest Serendipity, I saw the new market theme, but since then I see the normal market. I've tried installing it twice now, and no luck
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
I am getting the exact same issue. I'm running 3.5.2. I think it's a problem with the music.apk.

For everyone that doesn't want to go back a couple pages, this is the error:

I have had a strange issue with my music player in both versions 2.0 and 3.0. When I go to the artist tab, the album tag, or the song tab, and use the slider on the right to scroll quickly, the letters that show up are all messed up. When I scroll to the top, a "u" shows up even though all the songs up there start with an "a". And as I scroll down, the letters go backwards from a "u" to a "l" and the bottom of the song list being a "k", even though the bottom songs start with "z". My music library is stored on my external sd, and I only have about 1000 songs. Has anyone else experienced this problem and how do I fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] Yayodroid:
thanks for that! at first i was getting NOTHING lol. before i was getting 1 sat at least, then nothin. then i rebooted, then 15min later i tried again. got 3 sat in my house, then i went outside. i got 7, it took about 2min and a little bit of walkin around the sidewalk. but, it was accurate and locked! i was doin all that without enabling wireless networks (that would use data i think). i will try copilot out tomorrow if i have time.
[Captivate Android Development] ManEatingCat:
Hey, Im trying to flash this ROM but from Rom manager i keep booting into recovery mode instead of Clockwork Mod recovery mode. I followed the instructions and it didnt really give me any errors. To install it I selected "Install Rom from sd card" and then selected the serendipity zip file.

I tried running Fix Permissions from within rom manager but that gave an error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands". I checked SU an Rom manager already had full access.

Sorry for asking a n00b question, but I've been trying to flash this for almost 2 hours now.

And Right now im running Rogers 2.2 Rom and rooted using super one click root, no lag fix applied.

Any help would be awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I am using Phoenix 3.5 right now, but I was able to flash the themed black market using the latest SpeedMod kernel. I was unsuccessful at it when trying that with Voodoo.

I understand Serendipity has Steam recovery, so no direct experience with that.
[Captivate Android Development] cupps:
Funny enough, I also use the SpeedMod kernel... can can't seem to flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] PotatoJ:
When you rebooot into recovery, press reinstall packages. Then try going into CWR again.
[Captivate Android Development] ManEatingCat:
I tried that, but that failed too. It says signature verification failed. Trying to find out why with no luck T_T

EDIT: I think i probably have to swap the kernel to a different version.. not sure
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
What rom are you running now?

Edit: Nevermind I see it in your original post...I am assuming you have flashed clockwork recovery through Rom manager before trying to install from SD card?
[Captivate Android Development] lightnincap:
wi-fi dosent work on 3.5.2. pls help?

the wifi dosent seem to work its always stuck at obtaining IP address.
[Captivate Android Development] ManEatingCat:
Yea, i did it through the rom manager. Just swapped the kernel, it seems to move ahead from first reinstall packages but still didnt start the Clockworkrecovery mod. Gonna reset and try again.

Edit: changing the kernel from 3e to 2e worked, flashed the rom and works perfectly. Thanks for replying.
