I could change the number to 8 in build.prop and no one would know the difference.

In other news, the XDA Premium app now works on the Xoom after the recent update. Now I can stop typing "Sent from my Xoom" manually... :D

6.4 is an An awesome ROM. But must admit the thought of GingerBread makes coming to this forum exciting each morning.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Don't check every morning and continue to get your hopes up though. The source code hasn't been released from Samsung yet and once it is Mikey will still need days or weeks to work on it.

Edit: Ignore my previous comment, the sources are out.

Id rather have a well cooked GB meal from you than a half-baked version anyway.

Im as excided as the next guy to have a Mikey flavored GB rom, but I know that Mikey will cook it right (his special sauce added).
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
So does this mean that you are going to build the kernel rather than basing your ROM on the speedmod (or other) ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Espaa Valorum:
I'm still a little fuzzy on this. Serendipity ships with the SpeedMod kernel. But now the kernel source is available. What does this mean for the Serendipity distro? Are you going to cook your own kernel? Or is SpeedMod going to be upgraded? How is this going to work?

And whatever the answer is - don't take TOO long answering, i'd rather you spend the time cooking! :D
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
Serendipity is a Froyo rom, the source that dropped is gingerbread. completely and totally different.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Something tells me that Hardcore will be making a GB kernel now that source is out.

If Mikey chooses to make a kernel, then awesome (an all-in-one house Rom would be fantastic) but I can see Mikey focusing on making the best GB rom while Hardcore making one of the best GB kernels. Either way its a win/win for us.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Ok thanks. I'll try that. NoLED won't burn the screen, as the little thing moves all over the place. The last Captivate I had did get some screen burn because the unplug message got stuck on the screen because of NoLED, so now I have NoLED set to time out after a certain amount of time, and it works great!
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
BAMF.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Oh, and I have three feature suggestions for the next version. Obviously I love the other 95% of it, since I use it, but these are three things that bug me.

1. BLN. get rid of it. It's annoying to have it baked in. If people want to add it later, fine. NoLED is a much better choice, but I wouldn't want to see that baked in either.

2. I had to add a widget for mode control, as there are not separate toggle switches for silent and vibrate like there are in the stock firmware.

3. There is no feedback that you've actually pressed the wifi button until it connects. The stock firmware gives some sort of feedback that you've pushed the button. It's just weird to not know for sure if you actually hit it or not, and wifi on a smartphone is something that's toggled a lot considering the phone normally uses HSPA for connectivity.
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
well hopefully theres no updates soon cuz im flashing this bad boy :) hahah
[Captivate Android Development] plasticglock:
I have a question. I am a little new to flashing roms on android. I successfully flashed serendipity 6.4 yesterday on my wife's cappy and she loves it. I also installed bluedipity and a couple options from the kitchen. I have only flashed 1 rom on it before that and it locked up several times a day. I do have 2 issues with the current install. The phone is rejecting incoming calls. The buttons light up when I call it then I just go to voicemail. I checked all the call settings and the only thing out of the ordinary I found was that when I try to enter the settings for "reject call and send message" the settings menu force closes. Also it doesn't lock when it goes to sleep. I'm not too worried about that one. So to fix it I think I should go into cwm and flash serendipity again and see if it works then, before installing bd or the kitchen mods. Is this a good idea or should I odin back to stock first? Thanks ahead of time, this software is sweet.

Oh and the cappy is a 10.12 because of a warranty swap/speaker failure.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
1. Leave it how it is, some of us want it and it is part of the kernel. For those who don't want it just turn it off in the kernel and leave it at that.

2&3. Create your own widget for these things. I have one I created with Widgetsoid that has Wifi/Bluetooth/USB Mount/Vibrate/Silent.

I don't see any of those three as big deals or something that needs to be in the ROM. There are simple ways to get around them. Plus with the GB source out I don't see much, if anything, being changed in Serendipity now.
[Captivate Android Development] :
"Features" are something that 99% of the time can be accomplished by user preferance settings and apps. Mikey just builds the rom the way he wants it and uses it. Obviously not everyone wants it the same way that Mikey wants it, and thus thats where customization comes in... otherwise it would be just like the iPhone.

BLN is baked in because it makes it easier that way. If it takes you 3 seconds to disable it, then oh well. You're probably one of the 3% that dont use it.

To get your Wifi to tell you that you activated/deactivated it, get Beautiful Widgets or some other toggle that lights up when you press it. Again, this is where customization comes in. You can customize it to how YOU want your phone to look/act when you use it.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
I love everything else about Serendipity, but not having basic Mode Control functions is pretty bad- even the stock firmware has that. Anyone who sleeps in the same room as their phone charges has to add a widget on just to bring the phone up the same level as a flip phone from 2004.

There is no need for another widget for the wifi. It's just an on/off switch, it just would be nice to know that you actually hit it.
[Captivate Android Development] :
You mean when you pull down the notification bar and you click on the wifi button, it dosent turn green for you instantly? It does for me.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Anybody have the original green Galaxy S wallpaper?
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Usually not. I think it waits until it has worked the connection out with the RADIUS server and gotten an IP before turning green, which first time in a given day can take a while. The one in the stock firmware has a frame kind of thing I think that tells you when you clicked it, and then it lights up when it's connected. It's just really weird to click something with no immediate feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] Espaa Valorum:
There is, sort of:

1) When you drag down the notification bar and use the icon there to silence your phone, it goes to vibrate mode and back to normal.

2) On the lock screen, if you use the Android or Rotary unlock screen, you can completely silence the phone right there without having to unlock.

Once you get used to it, it actually works really well. When i go to bed, just push power, slide to silence. Wake up: push power, slide to un-silence.

Ive been w serendipity since 5.x and never had any issuse w this rom until recently. Ive been having issues w my data since 6.3. It has gotten a bit better on 6.4. Its been very slow, takes at least 2mins to load vids or pics, web will often say can't display page, and alot of times when trying to use data it won't load then my phone won't have service until I reboot.

It's in the kernel. Turning it off in Recovery is literally no different than not having it.

That's a choice Samsung made.

IMO, juice defender is the battery killer itself since it runs in the background most of the time. Just disable unnecessary notifications. And set your wifi sleep policy to sleep when screen turns off. Good luck!

That is definitely not fun. Hope you feel well soon!
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
I have no task killers or juice boxes on my cappy :D yesterday I used it almost all day non stop (trying to change up the theme) and it lasted from 5am until 8pm. when i plugged it in it was at 8%........usually with moderate use I plug in at the end of the day 10pm after being unplugged since 5am and I still have 35-40% battery life. When I have a light use day, which is rare, it's usually at 60-70% at the end of the day.

Not sure what your situation is, but i have heard that task killers and juice defender type programs make the battery life less efficient.

[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
I turned it off in Recovery, so luckily it's gone now. It still shouldn't be baked into a ROM. Not a big deal now that I know how to get rid of it though.

Samsung's stock firmware has both Vibrate and Silent buttons. Based on stock, you took one of them out to add the rotation lock button, which is a tough call since both are incredibly useful. I actually like the widget solution, its just a little strange not to have the mode control functionality of my 2004 LG C1300's mode control built into a superphone's software... I wish there was a way to customize these on the user end, as I could get rid of the useless Bluetooth toggle that toggles the useless Bluetooth radio. Bluetooth has to be one of the biggest technology fails of modern times.

That's probably why I don't get feedback then. Like most courteous phone uses these days, I don't have any sounds enabled for anything and I rarely have notification sounds on.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Please people, stop trying to explain these things to him. His statement of "Like most courteous phone uses these days" shows we can't reason with him.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
I guess I will put in this last bit of info. It wasn't the ROM that removed the button. The button was removed by Samsung in all Froyo ROMs. Probably because it was redundant. And to think of Bluetooth (although I don't use it but there tons of uses for it) as a failure is a fail.
