[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Red theme?

So Should I spend my time pursuing this?

Your thoughts or comments are welcome...

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
as long as it isn't the default theme for future releases then i'm fine with it. in fact, other color options are welcomed.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
I think you should make a color menu part of your kitchen options so that we can select a color o' the day. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
No this would be a purely on the side theme option. The main ROM will continue on in all its current glory.

I was going to ask for a colored power-button menu, since I'm coming back to Serendipity and I'm going to miss that.

The red theme looks amazing...I'd use it. That pink one wasn't half bad either :p
[Captivate Android Development] PeteSeiler2010:
Does the App, HeyTell work correctly with this ROM do you? I cannot seem to find any custom ROM that it will work correctly with. It only seems to work with the stock ROM. If you need any further information from me, just let me know.

Also, Thank you for all the great work on the Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The colored power menu can be done by anyone with ten minutes to spare. Those requests should stop going to the devs. We have much more important things to do.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I had this problem and figured it out.

Settings/Wireless Networks/USB settings/Mass storage - make sure that's checked. It's probably set for Samsung Kies, that's what mine was set to - why I have no idea, I've never gone into this box. You'll be prompted to turn off USB debugging, say yes (although it says to press OK). Back out of there, and then go back to Applications/Development and reenable USB debugging (I keep it on always). See if you can't connect then, it worked for me last night.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Could the colored_settings.zip be added to the kitchen? I'm attaching it here for those who want to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Random reviving post from being dead: Mike, I just downloaded the 5.11 (I'm still on 5.7, maybe it's time I upgrade ;)), and I noticed there isn't any MD5 on the download page. I just think that some people would like to verify their download with an MD5... just to be on the safe side so they know they won't brick their Captivates.

And sorry for being so dead on the forums lately... on vacation in Florida :cool:

Edit: I have a question that I've been meaning to ask. There's this dialer (specifically the Blackout Dialer), but it's made for the Twingerbread ROM. Would this break anything if I flashed it over Serendipity?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Quick question why do the lights stay lit up even though I have them turned off in the bln app? No matter what I do they stay on :(
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
When the screen is on or off? If it's when it's on, that's a feature of the ROM, you can control it with the free Keep the Lights on app, on the market.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
No it happens when the screen is off. I've downloaded the bln app to turn it off but it refuses to do so.

it will turn off for a while but after a few notifications it turns back on. A reboot will also cause them to turn on :(
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
Looks pretty cool. Though personally I would prefer a Honeycomb theme. I installed one from the themes section and it looks ok at best. I am sure you could make a sweet one.

[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Would we have to re-flash in order to go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
yes, or restore from nandroid backup.
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
is it possible to create a batch file/ script, or what not, to automate the recoloring process?

Just edit the color in the code and let her loose? Just wondering.

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I believe that's just the way it's setup for notifications , happens to me when i have a text of course someone else will no better I don't mind the feature
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I don't think it's asked here to take time away from any developers work, we understand that this stuff is time consuming it's just someone like myself would like to know how to change simple things like adding color menu's but don't have the know how so we post the question here for an answer , from anyone who would know it- nobody knows what programs will not mess up a great ROM better than those who made it....It's not to be a pain, I understand what you mean though
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I apologize if I came across harsh to anyone. That is not my intention. You would use Photo shop to change the color of existing images and just recompress the file with 7zip or WinRAR when you are done. Alternatively you could just use 7zip/WinRAR to swap the image files all together with the one you like(must be the same size) and then recompress the file. 7zip and WinRAR are both great programs to do this which is why I mentioned them.

Programs needed:

WinRAR or 7zip

Photoshop

Time
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
No need to apologize didn't come across harsh at all just thought I would explain a little, I re-compressed the file but in the how do I get it back into the phone and get it to go in the right place? I have the file named just like the folder it came out from drawable-hdpi, also how would I access the files in the phone with win rar to swap out images without damaging files?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I think more to Adam's point, these questions should be in the Serendipity Q&A thread rather than here - and many of us are guilty of chatting this thread up, myself included. I do think the devs are capable of ignoring what they need to, though.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
You are correct and I actually should have posted it in the Q&A , but finally found the correct guide , so I will slowly fade into the back round again-lol

[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Easiest way would be to put the drawable folder right back in the framework or twframework folder, whichever you got it from and recompress it. After that use root explorer or equivalent to drop it back in system/framework. Same goes for editing an apps appearance. Do your editing, put the drawable folder back in, recompress and put it in system/app
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
We very well can just ignore but than we risk having a thread that gets off topic, questions that do not get answered as they are burried by things that do not need to be asked and so on. Changing icons is QA, problems with the ROM and is functionality is meant for the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] PizzaAmerican23:
How necessary is it to do a master clear?

I hate having to move all my music/vid/pics off and then back on my SD
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Some people do it everytime. I on the other hand do it everyone once in awhile or if my system seem to be getting bogged down and a reboot does not correct it. I do however disable any lagfix I have applied, allow full boot and then update ROM. Why not keep all your media on an external SD?
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I still cannot seem to figure out the stretched contact picture deal. Is there any fix for it?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Thanks! Worked like charm. But what will happen if I remove the Unlock.ogg? It will not make any sound when the phone unlocks right?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok I tested Phoenix enough so time to hit this ROM.

Does this one have the Wifi fixes from i9000 ?

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:

[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Well the new update took away my four lockscreens and I would much rather have my epic lockscreen than home haptic feedback so I guess that was fun while it lasted lol

Back to no haptic for me...
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Are you using the default framework or did you flash a theme

If its a theme, reflash it. That should bring them back.
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
When you use the End button to silence the call you are charged for 1 minute by the cell phone provider but if you press the volume button and just silence the ring tone allowing the call to go to voicemail on it's own then you aren't charged the 1 minute.

If you receive a lot of calls, these 1 minutes charges can add up over the month.

The volume rocker button does work to silence the call in this ROM, you just have to hold it for one second versus just tapping it quickly to silence the call.

Keep up the good work Mikey. Love the ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's a theme. The reason he lost the lockscreens is because the lockscreen is in android.policy.jar as well.

You can have both if you decompile it. Or when I get around to adding 4 lock screens.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Yea that's my plan but I assume when I do that its gonna disable my home haptic again which is fine with me I only updated to stay up to date...
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Decompiling is probably over my head so I guess I will wait for you to add 4 lockscreens before I can have both. This is by far the best rom on here though so I wasn't complaining just letting other people who had put a theme on know they were in an either/or situation...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok so as usual I can replace the kernel inside the ROM for Setiron's and flash away....I assume lag fix is not going to be enabled by default right? I do not use lag fixes with 2.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you post the android.policy.jar I can do it for you. Takes like two seconds now that I have the edited files.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Hmm. So flashing a new theme overides haptic feedback. Got it, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It uses Glitterballs kernel by default. Which will apply the voodoo lagfix.

If you put SetiroN's kernel in it won't lagfix. Haven't tested it though.
[Captivate Android Development] mike21pr:
found the SOD culprit. seems like the rom did not like setcpu. when i uninstalled it, it did not SOD anymore :-)

rom is awesome again
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Flashing a new android.policy.jar does. Not the theme necessarily.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I'm getting fast lock with great results while moving but google navigation will not resolve driving directions... It just cycles.

Sorry, I must have missed it. The only answers i'm gettin are edit the images (which would be very tedious and i have no image editing skills) and replace the files with others (i wouldn't know which ones to change out) do i open each one individually and see what it is or just replace ALL of them. Sorry if i'm being a fly in the ear but all the answers i'm getting assume i know what files do what and that I know howto use photoshop. Plz be gentle.

Chance,

When using the Kitchen to flash the alternate MMS Dialer Tab... the black around Keypad, Logs & Favorites tab is not quite 100% black like the color on the Contacts tab. I know earlier there was a fix for the Contacts.. but now it looks like the situation is reversed. Any ideas on why this is happening, is there a simple fix for it?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
But Serendipity is based on 2.2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
With the official froyo coming out for ATT here in the USA what does that mean for future builds of Serendipity, will it be used just replaced the "Upgraded files"?

I for one think Serendipity will remain as my ROM but just curious
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I thought that for a sec but the ones here in Alabama look different. We even have a martin house in the field...

OK, so I took a look at the files in the stockplus theme and the ones in Serendipity. From what I can gather I just switch out the drawable-hdpi folders? I also know that I would have to switch out the system apps because those are themed individually. where can I find an unthemed version of a JPY ROM?

EDIT: Exactly why I wanted to know how to do all of this. So, it can be compatible with your ROM without breaking everything.

also, i notice that there is (framework.jar and android.policy.jar) what do these do?
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
I will add a copy in the next version. We have some new things that will be changing in the settings...

ChanceM
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Don't replace the folder, there are layouts that won't match with Serendipity. Go to the drawable-hdpi and compare what images you want to replace. That's what I would do. So basically drag, drop, replace, repackage, and flash.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
That should work.

A flash to the end! Hope this is where the train stops

Alright I'm ready to jump. Been w/ Phoenix since v3 now ready to move to a ROM that doesn't need change every other day. One major ? Do I really need to ODIN the cappy and re-flash stock and then to to S5.11? I've flashed from Phoe/Cog/Andromeda 1.2 back to Phoenix NOW HERE.

I'm curious. Anyone know what 2.2.1 brings over 2.2?

I thought I had it figured out where I could just flash the folder like an update 9like when we use the addon kitchen from Serendipity home page)then it froze had to pull the battery and it re-booted just want to be sure everything is good and nothing got corrupted, how can I tell

everything seams to be running fine just want to make sure

Inverted Gmail

I wanted to make a possible suggestion about the inverted Gmail. I love the black background, but it's very hard to tell what email is new because the only thing that changes is background, and it's a very small change. Is there a way to possibly have read emails be a lighter font, and the unread emails bold, or a different color? Some sort of difference would be great. You guys have done an incredible job with Serendipity and I can't say enough good things about it. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
So far from what I've gathered after a lot of googling is that it mainly addresses the lag issues, which have pretty much been dealt with by all the lagfixes posted on these forums. So as I posted earlier, I don't see why people are automatically dismissing the 2.2 firmware that's going to come out tomorrow as crappy just because it is "outdated." It's bad because of bloatware, or it's bad because of the lack of a lag fix (which is not a good point, see previous argument). If you're going to diss it for being bad, think of tangible reasons for why it is bad, not solely because it's missing a .1 at the end of the version number.

Delete the apk from /system/app. Its probably called email.apk or something like that. You can find out by opening the zip you flashed and navigating to the equivalent directory within it to see the apk it flashes, then just delete it with root explorer or an equivalent.

I've personally eliminated the use of another email app and have gmail retrieve my mail from other accounts I have. The biggest issue is that the delay for fetches can be upwards of an hour which can be a pain.
