[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Now that I think about it, its more a theme thing than functionality. So I could really just make it look how I want, but i probably wont bother.

Call recording sounds like a nice feature, although probably illegal and impractical.(discussion of this follows this post)

3D signal bars sounds like a nice cosmetic addition.

What I'd like to see is a themed extended power menu, if possible.(not in di11i, just a suggestion)

Also I believe suckerpunch is a superior kernel to basic speedmod
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Youre the only one.....
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Yes, but it destroys the soft key backlight on screen touch fix, which is something that I love. I know I could just use Keep The Lights On, but I feel like the backlight fix is a more legitimate thing to be using. I also wouldn't be surprised if it did other things that wouldn't be desirable...

Somehow dilli was able to fix that in his ROM though, having both the backlight fix and call recording, so I think it'd be a valuable addition to the Serendipity ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Not illegal or impractical, as long as you do your research and have a use for it.

For example: I run a self-owned business. Businesses in my area (registered or not, if you are hired by someone to do something and are being payed), the business party may legally record any phone calls strictly regarding your business without the third party's consent. I run a computer repair business and am quite popular, but I have to take notes when talking to customers, so the call recording feature would be very useful.

Just note, in some states, like you said, there are legality issues.

3D bars are something that I could do for you if you're really that interested (just copy the images from the framework-res.apk). Same thing with the extended menu, I believe, but I could be wrong... I'm not sure where those images are stored.

+1 for SuckerPunch.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Not only no, but **** no.

Why do you think all calling services tell you "THIS SESSION MAY BE RECORDED"

You have to inform them

(May vary depending on your state/country, but im pretty sure all states have a similar law)
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Use logic. They're big businesses, not local businesses. They do that just in case, because for what I said to be true, both parties must be in the same state. So the big companies do that because the consumer may be in a state where call recording is illegal without both parties' consent, but I'm in a state where that's not true, as long as you are a business. So seeing as I only run my business locally, it does not matter. I wouldn't be under the impression that it wasn't illegal if I hadn't done hours of research making sure that I can.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
if you live in

California

Connecticut

Florida

Illinois

Maryland

Massachusetts

Montana

Nevada(my state)

New Hampshire

Pennsylvania

Washington

You couldnt be more wrong.

If not I guess youre good 8)

Point being, call recording can get you in trouble if you dont know the laws so make sure you do.

[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
OK, I now know of two phone today that are stuck in a reboot loop. One is on 5.7 (mine) and one is on 5.6 (co-worker). Anyone else having trouble this afternoon? There is also a rumor that at&t is pushing out 2.2 today.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Further proving my point (I do not live in any of those states). But I'm glad you learned something! A little bit of research never hurts :p And I edited your post for length's sake... didn't change a word you said :o.

But anyway, dilli put recording in his ROM, and the ROM maker does not legally have responsibility over the use of the ROMs users, so if Mikey put it in his ROM and someone uses it where it is illegal and gets in trouble, Mikey is not the one to blame. But just for safety's sake, I would at least put the link to that wikipedia page in the main post letting people know that it is illegal in certain states.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
What did you do before your phones got stuck in a boot loop?

You could simply reflash Serendipity if you don't have any valuable information on your phones. Just use the button combinations to get into download mode.

And today is over, or at least almost; I'd assume AT&T would push Froyo sometime around 12 mid-day. But still a possibility.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Yea I was under the impression that most states had the 2 way law. And of course it wouldnt be mikey's fault lol
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Are you the police? Don't worry about legalities, that is not your concern especially when it is someone elses phone.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
My fault for caring if people get locked up for a minor oversight. My bad, wont happen again sir.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Off topic, the issue/debate was already resolved. You aren't the police either. No one here is.

Don't reply to this post. There've been too many off topic posts in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Now since that has been resolved. How do we convince Mikey to start using SuckerPunch? Like someone else said before, even before I OC'd, i noticed a decrease of time between applications opening/closing/switching
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I trust Mike to use the kernel he thinks is the most efficient with his ROM. I'm very happy with SpeedMod - if you want to use SuckerPunch then just install it - is that OC/UV and that's why you want it?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Thanks for the reminder Loggik. I would have not known otherwise.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
True, it isnt a big deal to switch kernels on your own. But if testing shows(mine does) that suckerpunch is superior, then why not make it stock?

If mikey has already done enough testing to satisfy him, then thats one thing, but if there is more testing to be done...why not?
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Lol that someone was me ;)

I agree with this. But stock SuckerPunch without any OC/UV takes almost the same amount of battery power as Speedmod, but feels smoother. Or at least it does to me and ridethelight. But if Mikey tries it and feels some other way about it, then the choice is his :)

Me (and ridethelight, I assume) are OCing with SuckerPunch, which is why we use it. But we do it moderately (1200Hz isn't a huge deal over 1000, compared to 1400).

Also, some people are worried about the ROM being slower when you install a kernel over another. I personally don't feel that it would slow down the phone if you already have one kernel installed, but people that are concerned can open the ROM zip and replace the zImage with another one before they flash the ROM. I do this with all ROMs that I flash for the modem, kernel, custom apps, and sometimes the framework-res.apk just for simplicity. So that is why some people would want the SuckerPunch kernel to be stock in this ROM, so they don't mess something up. But again, it's Mikey's choice :p
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
This would be an awesome stock theme.

Anyone recognize it? I think i might get off my lazy ass and try and install it if i could find it
[Captivate Android Development] NewbDroid:
Hey,

Love this ROM so far but hitting a MAJOR snag; I can't get my data on it at all once I flashed to it! Running 2.2 on Rogers. Haelp anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Data? Like your backups?

May I suggest rewording your question? It is a bit confusing.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
two things would be flippity awesome. Get the Audience audio processing chip to work and Micro-USB to HDMI tv-out.
[Captivate Android Development] dkall2:
Thank you to MikeyMike and ChanceM for all the hard work you guys do. My phone has never worked better. One problem I am having is whenever my phone is booted up, whether it's from being rebooted, off, or recovery, LauncherPro always freezes and I have to kill it. But it will run fine after restarting. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it does the same thing. Any thoughts?

Sent from my Serendiptivate!
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
1) It does work. Voodoo sound.

2) Not possible/will not happen. That is a hardware issue.
[Captivate Android Development] NewbDroid:
I meant I couldn't access the data network. However, problem fixed! I managed to snag the following settings off another poster that works (took me a few tries with other settings). I guess that flashing this ROM wiped my APN settings.

Here's the APN for Rogers Captivate 2.2 that worked for me:

Name: Rogers

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

MMSC: ://mms.gprs.rogers "add a http at beginning and a dot com at the end"

MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 720

P.S. I tried Cog 3.04 and although it was stable, this is slightly faster on benchmark tests using Quadrant Standard. I also think it looks cooler. Tested out Firefly too, not as fast! I can see why flashing custom ROMS can get addictive...
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Never happened to me (I used to use Launcher Pro, but I switched to ADW Launcher EX...).

Have you done any sort of modding to the Launcher Pro APK?

In fact, what manual changes, if any, have you made to the ROM? This includes anything flashed with CWM and any modded APKs/system files.
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
Nothing, I was out to lunch. about 20 minute earlier my co-worker had call ed to tell me his phone was doing it too. I told him that I would send sirection to re-flash. I am flashing mine over from Odin now.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Odd... probably just bad flashes? Make sure you're following a tutorial when flashing to reduce any errors that you may be running into.

But what you're saying is that your phone would work fine. Then you turned it off (for whatever reason, or maybe the battery died), and the next time you powered it on, it entered a boot loop? If it was the second boot ever (only boot after the first one), then you probably just got a bad flash. If you've rebooted it previously with the same ROM more than once, then some sort of mod must have been applied...
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
I've been keen on OC/UV since Assonance days, and I wonder how many quiet others are too. I could significantly UV my phone and make a big difference to battery life. I understood the risks and was careful to only move off no OC and no UV once things were certainly stable. Any FCs and I always turned off OC/UV to make sure that wasn't the problem.

So I'd be real keen on a default Serendipity kernel with OC/UV ability, of course with both set to off by default. With appropriate comments/links in the OP we could make sure people ruled out OC/UV in any problems, and many of us could easily remind enquirers of that if they didn't seem to.

Just at the moment my phone won't play nicely with my first step towards OC/UV with Suckerpunch #46 and #48 (Reboot soon after first normal screen), but I put that more down to the particular state of my phone at the moment. I suspect that if I do a fresh install I'll get it working ok, but with a lot of config I do I'm not rushing to do that.

If Serendipity came with a default OC/UV then it'd be working from the start.
[Captivate Android Development] dkall2:
It is pretty much stock Serendipity. The only thing I have done differently is a battery mod and the multi-colored Nexus boot animation. But the restart has been needed since long before either of those.
[Captivate Android Development] xpeppyx:
So I found a small bug/typo. When using the.stock browser and you select text and click copy it says.(charged.) Instead of copied. Nothing major.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Oh gosh. Mikey, don't ever do that please.

I personally feel that OCing is the user's choice, and should never be incorporated into a ROM by default. No offense to the suggester though, it's a valid suggestion, and all ideas are welcome.

Odd... any chance that you could get some log files?

Lol. Made me laugh for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Voodoo sound has nothing to do with audience chip support.
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I thought the ability to OC/UV would be great to be included as standard, but that the initial values should be set to be stock 1GHz with no voltage changes. Then if someone wanted to OC or UV they could use Voltage Control to do that. For those not wanting either, just leave Voltage Control alone.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
why not just use sgs kernel flasher? he put it in the rom for a reason so people can flash any kernel they want
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Mike is a perfectionist, everything its built this way for a reason. :)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
The only thing I would like is to get rid of the clock in the status bar. I know there's a fix, but I don't think Mike likes it, it breaks something.....if that's changed I'd love to have a link!
[Captivate Android Development] dkall2:
I would love to send you a log file, but I have no idea how to. I will search the forums on how to do it and get back to you.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Anyone figure out how to turn the volume up on the speakerphone?
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Hmm... I'm not an expert either lol. But tell me when you get one! It'd just be a bit difficult because you're getting a log from an error so close to initial boot time, and I believe that you have to manually start logging.

Physical hardware keys? I don't see why that wouldn't work, though I can't confirm that it doesn't (I don't use speakerphone).
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Personally I hope he never does that by default...for some people (like myself) who are on the internet or xda app 95% of the time we are on our phone the status bar clock comes in real handy and keeps me from having to either click to the home screen or buy a watch lol Fortunately Mikey, unlike certain other devs, dont change things just for the sake of being different and actually tries to do things to make the rom better.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
I wouldn't use it, but maybe ChanceM could possibly add a flashable ZIP to the Theme Mods section of the website? I know you're not the only one who'd like this, though again, I agree with the above post; I use it too much to remove it :p
[Captivate Android Development] cishos:
I was wonderring if someone could theme the last.fm icons and google voice icons for the NOTIFICATION BAR. make them look like the gingerbread ones?
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
I think they're about pushing the speakerphone volume even further than allowed (like the sound through headphone audioboost through VoodooSound).
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Someone can. But this involves decompiling the APKs and re-signing them. This is not something built into the ROM, and is not very fun for most developers. There're tutorials on how to do it though, although I'm going to sleep now so I'm not going to find the link... it'd be somewhere under the themes section. Good luck :D
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Ohhh lol :p Well in that case, I don't know of/haven't seen a fix for that...
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Im using the no clock back light fix in that thread;
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I'd be perfectly happy with a mod created by ChanceM :) I know not everyone wants to get rid of the clock, but I did enjoy the sleeker look without it, especially with the clock widgets I've got on most of my screens, it makes it redundant.

Do you have any problems with it?
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
The actual black light fix is not 100% but unless you have extreme ocd and are constantly staring at your screen, I don't think it will bother you. Also it seems like it takes a few hours to work the links out and works as intended.

I have extreme ocd and its not a big deal, love how my screen looks sleek and minimal. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
What is the back light fix? There's a file there called JS3noclock.zip in this post that seems to be just the clock removal, would that one be better?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
learn how to use adb, then you just run command like this:

adb logcat *:E > logfile.txt

when you want it to stop, just CTRL+C then you have a txt file you can upload.

the *:E tells it to only log the Errors...if you want to log the whole thing, leave off *:E, but you will want to edit out any personal info that might be in the logfile: email addresses, phone numbers, names, etc)
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
That's the one I am using and I use that because I need the alarm. Give it a shot, download the remount just in case you have problems.

Most problems are when you end a phone call the phone would do a soft reboot after every phone call. Which can easily be tested by calling your voicemail.
[Captivate Android Development] NewbDroid:
I know this question probably has the world's simplest solution bit I can't figure it out....

I'm using swype and I thought I would try out the alternate swype skin available for download from the serendipity website. Installed, no problem. Turns out I really do like the old one that's all black a lot better. How do I get that old all black one back instead of the current alternate great swype skin that I have going on? Do I just reflash the whole serendipity rom again? Thanks for the help everyone!
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
You could extract out from the zip but it'd be quicker to just flash I'd think. Unless someone has a link handy.

Sent from possibly the coolest device in history...besides the iphone of course.
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
Don't flash the whole rom. It will wipe your config.

Just get the swype apk from the zip and copy it to system/app, or use adb to push it.

Otherwise, you can download the themed swype zip, open it with winrar and replace the swype apk in it with the original from the rom then flash that. Either way works.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Lol, I'm a lot more proficient in ADB than most, though I'm not saying that I'm an expert. Anyway, I do know how to use LogCat (except for the *:E; that's a useful command that I did not know). But I think I said this before (can't really remember...): I didn't want to tell the person to use LogCat because it was an issue the second after his phone turned on. It'd be imaginably difficult to get a LogCat session running before his issue arrises (his homescreen Launcher is crashing immediately after booting, but will re-open itself after pressing the home button).

Logcat will output everything since it started running, not just since you typed the command in.

It works. FWIW the setting for AT&T is +13123149810. It is not published on the AT&T website.
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Yes, but does LogCat automatically start running immediately after Android starts? Because if not, then you'd have to manually run the command before the FC happens, which would be hard because the FC is right when his phone starts.

[Captivate Android Development] jojorios:
Ok, unfortunately i'm still at this. But I did a complete master clear and started from scratch. I THINK i may know what it is. I didn't mention that I have a pattern as my password/unlock. When I setup the phone with a clean install I had no problems with the alarm. But the second I added my pattern unlock it came back. It seems like it has some type of problem waking the screen to unlock.

Could someone try the steps above also BUT make sure you have a Pattern Password setup and see if you have the same issue?
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Sorry, I won't try this because I don't want to risk pulling the battery with ext4. But, I can tell you that I have been using Alarm Clock Plus with Pattern Lock for many ROMS (including Serendipity 5.7) with no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I just tested with and with out pattern lock.

It was fine when I had the Rotary lock set up. So I tried it again with Pattern lock in place.

I cannot get the screen to come on, I touched all of the buttons on the bottom of the phone; Menu//Home//Back//Search and they light up and continued to stay light up.

The Volume controls make sounds but screen stays black and bottom lights stay light.

I read about it but decided to go ahead and install 5.7 full version and haven't had any problems. My extended power menu works just fine. Maybe the wipe before install had something to do with it, but I'm not sure. Never restore system settings or apps with Titanium backup. I've not installed any battery mods or anything that would change the framework either.

Same here. Installed new firmware (adb), opened camera, quit w/ home key, closed w/ task manager, uninstalled (Titanium). Still no AF with video. I might try a full 5.7 install (instead of upgrade) next, unless I did it wrong...
