Regarding the contact search, when you are composing an email click the Search button while the To or CC field is highlighted. You can then search your GAL.
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
Thanks, I was aware of that. But on the HTC you can search contacts and get the GAL results containing the persons phone numbers as well as e-mail address. This is useful when traveling and have to call someone back. There is an app call corporate addrses book that does it free I was just wondering how hard it would be to port the HTC function.

I think KTLO should be incorporated this time...

You don't really need it anymore since the buttons light up when you touch the screen now. I uninstalled KTLO when I upgraded to 5.6.

There's a problem with the rotary lock:

If you turn the phone on silent from the unlock screen, it won't vibrate, no matter what your settings for vibrate are. It also doesn't register if your phone is set to vibrate before you lock it.

[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Agreed, I think it's strange to have no return key, but at least it only seems to be SMS/MMS that is affected. Wouldn't it be better to replace the Swype key (bottom left) with the smiley? I can't imagine anyone uses that key.

because it turns your phone to silent? not vibrate
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
Well, the Android unlock sets it to vibrate if your phone is set to vibrate when it's on silent, so I assumed this would be the same. It doesn't even register that the sound is off if you lock it while it's on vibrate.

One of the rom devs in the vibrant forum sorted out the issues with vibrate on the rotary lock screen which were not addressed in the i9000 forum originally. Perhaps mikey could take a look there.
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
I use the swype button all the time to add new words and delete the junk words I've only used once.

I think it would be convenient if the mic key was on the symbols page instead and have the "." key moved to that newfound available residential area. I always hit that damn button trying to hit the period or return key.

New to Serendipity. Where can I find a more detailed changelog?

What does etc. mean?

Which bugs?
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
ooooooooooh... Sounds good!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The Mobile Networks setting force closed. Any likely some other problems stemming from that.

When you take a picture with the power button, it will focus before taking it, as opposed to just taking it.

You can stop and start recording video with the power button.

I changed the spinning loading thing to the Android Gingerbread spinning thing. You'll see this when you first start recording a video.

I think that's it.

For the next iteration, we're looking to include auto focus when taking video.
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Im sure its already been said and answered but it would be awesome if you could skip tracks on music player with the volume buttons by holding etc. Anyways, the new rotary lock is pretty slick.

Mikey,

I attached the log.txt (had to zip it because it was bigger than 89.7kb or something like that) for the MMS sending error I was getting. I don't know if I got what you need....but that's what I got. Let me know if I need to run another
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I know the camera is supposed to focus when holding down the power button but i get the shutdown menu while it focuses the camera. So i pretty much gotta press the back button to get back to the cam everytime i try to focus without tapping. Anyone else? Normal?
[Captivate Android Development] CougarBroker:
So, I screwed something up

I installed the color icons for the settings menu, and I lost the rotary lock screen, it is not in the menu to choose it, I tried to flash the 5.5 to 5.6 update again and it won't let me because of the version block, anyone have a zip file I can flash to get the white icons back, and have the menu actually give me the option for the rotary lock screen?

Sorry for the quasi noobness.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Idk what's wrong but as soon as I kill all the apps using task killer, it brings to one application listed on there. For example, I browsed youtube awhile ago but then after that, I killed the app using advanced task killer then it loaded back the youtube app. Tried it several times but it always does the same thing. Even other apps like xda or ebay. Idk if it's the rom or the kernel, I'm using suckerpunch 1200mhz oc. Has anybody experienced this?

[Captivate Android Development] Shwiggie:
Pro:

1) opens up memory by force closing programs.

2) fewer running apps reduced battery drain (allegedly).

Con:

1) Android manages its own memory just fine.

2) FC programs can cause stability problems.

3) task killer apps are unnecessary given that a task killer is built-in.

I'm sure the devvies can give more detailed answers, but that's the gist of it. I don't use 'em anymore, and I haven't noticed a difference.

*edit: whoops, Mikey beat me to the punch...didn't know they didn't work anymore. Good to know, but I haven't used one since I started flashing Froyo ROMs*
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I fixed that.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Mikey, I was over in the vibrant forum checking out some of their newer roms to test out and I see your rom is garnering attention from vibrant users! They are incorporating your themed mms.apk into ginger themed roms. Great work man!!
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Found something that might be useful for those who still use the Samsung Music Player app (like me :P). This theme had a skinned version that matches the Gingerbread theme going on pretty well.

[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
That sounds serious......
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
It sounds like froyo is working as intended.

As has been said froyo does a fine job of managing its own memory. It likes to keep it filled so when you are killing apps it is just opening them back up or starting another app which causes more battery drain.

I have never used a task killer...B-)

Sorry if i missed this information . But where is the rotary Lock screen? I do not see it in the lock screen options?
[Captivate Android Development] wibs:
When playing around with this ROM I noticed that if you go the Phone logs the "slide to call" or "slide to message" looks different than it does if you are browsing your contacts. Is this a hint of a new design feature making its way through, or has it always been like that?

[Captivate Android Development] crupp:

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You're either half a dozen versions behind, or flashed some sort of theme/mod.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
nope...5.6, no theme, fresh flash this morning. I am running the battery mode (V8) and the call recording mode. I did cahnge the setting apk. to get the colored icons in the settings menu. Could this have done it?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Couple problems here.

Perhaps a typo, but you should be flashing v09 of the battery mods.

If you want different icons in the Setting.apk, it's imperative you copy over the .png images into the Serendipity one, rather than overwrite it. That's what's changed the actual menu items.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
IF that is the issue could someone post the settings apk from 5.6? Thank you.

Also, I see 5.7 on the Seredipity page but no option to update from 5.6 to 5.7. Is this possible?

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you're unsure you could:

A) Redownload it

B) Download the update .zip and copy over all of the system files

C) Flash it and see if auto focus works in videos... because that's what's different between them
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I just updated to 5.7, but I had issues with the black gmail app, so I deleted it and went to try to download the stock one from the market, but it wouldn't work. Could anyone post the normal gmail app?

I like option 1. Thanks:)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You have to reboot after uninstalling it.

Love the icons etc in Cosmic76's themes.... but it breaks Rotary.... and the unlock jogbar files are all black...

And if I replace those pesky .9 files with the ones from Serendipity... I get FC boot loops...

Gotta love adb push to fix that crap!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Eventually the rotary will make it into all the themes and such, like the 4 lock screen and extended power menu have.

I would suggest PMing the theme maker.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I'll wait for music controls on rotary unlock.:p
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Or wait and be happy :)

The all black (actually transparent) unlock bars are the real bummer. He worked so hard on that theme to leave the jogbar.9 files transparent. As I said, when I add yours to the framework-res it just FC's. C'est la vie!
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Wow. The autofocus while video recording is a great addition :D good job Mikey, thanks for all of your hard work :)

Bug Report: 'Clock' app's screensaver is deadly

I've been doing some testing of late and I'm pretty sure that there is a bug in the 'Clock' application that ships with Serendipity, although fyi my android-dev'ing knowledge isn't that advanced.

Basically:

if I open the 'Clock' application, click the icon at the bottom left so that it shows the screen with the time and the weather, then leave the phone like that for 5-10 minutes (whether I push the backlight on/off button doesn't matter; don't put it to sleep; the longer I leave it the better, but 10 min should be enough), the system will be quite screwed up if I try to use it again. If I push Home, perhaps half or even all of my wallpaper will now be black. If I put it into sleep, I probably wont be able to get back out of it without pulling the battery (although the volume buttons still make sound, and the softkeys still light up). If magically I am able to put it to sleep and wake it up again, if I try sleeping+waking it another 1-2 times, I will probably get to the point where it wont wake.

Also, this only occurs when the 'Clock' application's screensaver (time/weather screen) is running. FYI I'm running SpeedMod K13A if for some reason that could have to do with it. Also right now I'm on 5.5.

Any ideas?

P.S. Awesome work on Serendipity, MikeyMike - thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
is there any reason now my video camera freezes immediately after updating to 5.7 on 5.6 I would take a pic and try to review it and it would freeze now that bug is gone I have to battery pull any time I select camcorder didn't do this before

[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Not new to roms. Followed all directions starting by using odin to default the phone.

I've never experienced as many forced closes as I am now. It would be easier to list the apps that don't force close :-(

Going to throw the steam kernel on and see if that resolves this. Otherwise, it is back to default and another rom, I guess.

Nice. even worse now. Guess something went wrong. I have to believe this is a fluke, because I simply cannot believe that any Rom out there is the complete trash I am experiencing :-)

One more try from default.

[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
Why not download again and reflash. That's been know to help in the past??????
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
I just updated to 5.7 and I cannot reproduce your issue. I am running speedmod k13a so it could be a 5.7/kernel compatibility issue? Both video and still camera are working fine here, but I didn't have problems on 5.6 either :-\

[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
Question: if I want to try to replace the current mms.apk with an older one (to see if it fixes my mms problem) can I manually replace it in the /system/app folder of the zip and reflash, or should I push it through adb?
