if you can get into download mode you're fine, just try again until it works. if you have a lot of usb accessories unplug them and retry it.
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
I recommend clearing the Dalvik cache after loading the ROM, and then reboot. I had the same issue and do this now after installing the ROM via Clockwork recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Instead I will ask this: what is the best scheduler to use on this rom? It is set to cfq and 1000mhz max right now.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Noop.

I finished theming the 2.2.11 market. Don't want another update, so I'll put this off for now, but in case you want it, here you go.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Is this a straight install, or do you need to copy and paste via root explorer or some such?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's a system .apk... what do you think. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Hey, I'm learning, I'll get there!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I didn't even know what sideloading was when I got here. :cool:

No Fandango in the market... any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
So i forgot to root the device before I installed the rom lol(stupid me)... any way to Root it now ?

I already reinstalled all my apps and dont feel like spending another hour or so doing this all over lol
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
not necessary then :D

Anyway to get the lock/home screen functinionality working. That would be pretty cool. I don't know of another ROM able to do that (Captiavate)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:

Woo. Another update! Can I update 1.0 to 1.6 by skipping the 1.5 update?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't a mind reader. Won't happen again. =p
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
No. They're NOT cumulative.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
Seam still has some issues for me, I got caught in a loop again when removing the lagfix. Did a battery pull and booted fine but I have to re-root again.

Here is what I did:

Booted to Steam

Chose the option to remove lagfix

Chose the option to backup /restore

I notices the phone was vibrating again so I checked each Steam screen

Screen 1:

User init done

mount: mounting footfs on / failed: Device or resource busy

Screen 2: (scrolls fast so I just got what I could)

untracked PID 3440 excited

(a bunch of stuff)

no such service 'bootanim'

vibrates once @ 150ms

vibrates 3 times @ 75ms

loops back to beginning - untracked PID 3440 excited

Screen 3: (cannot read most of it)

9 more

I/dumpstate begin

Think I am going back to the voodoo kernal for now since I am going to be getting in the car for the ride home soon. Hope this helps, if not, just ignore it :)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
no implying taken. just a little fun
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
ARGH! 1.5 just finished downloading (2nd time) and now 1.6..... Guess I will have to do this at home tonight and ignore the family. Can't wait to try it.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Was it a new build.prop? Could you share the change and save yet another d/l?

Thanks,

Me too! Lol can't install it like an app though. Didn't work. So I took a sip of coffee and realized I was looking at the answer. Copy and paste it in system app file on sd card with root explorer. See you can teach and old cop new tricks! Need to tell my wife lol
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
OK. Good. Needed confirmation, since my approach is a bit unconventional. First I flash, then I sideload, then I go into recovery mode. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
LOL! Awesome.

ETA just tried to do a search using the newfangled market and the button wouldn't work, had to use the menu button.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Ditto:-)

Edit ..... nope. Using search in menu. Doesn't work for me either
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yup, my search failed too, from the menu come to think of it, had to use Appbrain. Sorry to leave that out.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
Start up Odin on PC.

Shut off phone, pull SIM and externalSD.

Enter DL mode by vol + / vol - and plugging in USB.

Start flash to stock.

also I was using the one click Odin in the beginning but it seems to be a little sketch compared to the other version that is linked on the first post. I've never had issues with that and the one click gave me alot of issues. it bricked my first 3 day old captivate and I ended up having ATT replace it. :D

try the button fix version of Odin and if it isn't working then remember that persistance is a good thing.
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
Hi,

Just wanted to understand how the voltage control settings work. Is lowering the voltage help saves battery? I tried a few settings but the battery still drains very fast. I'm losing around 10% or more every 2 hours. I have this problem since Serendipity 2.0. I'm coming from AXURA 2.5 and battery life on it was very good. Just wanted to find out how I can get the battery life back.

Thanks again. Great ROM by the way.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Change the Wifi sleep policy.

Voltage Control controls the voltage the cpu receives.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
After you push it to /system/app you should type in

stop

start

And your phone will pseudo reboot. Good enough for installing an app.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
DELETE

Removed this post
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
my Wifi sleep policy is set to "Never when plugged in" what should I set to?

So, if I understand correctly that means if I lower the voltage, theoretically this should help save some battery.

Thanks again,
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
again I was having issues with vibration. if I have the phone set to vibrate it doesn't vibrate for anything. calls / sms / whatever.

and yes, I have set it to ALWAYS vibrate.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yikes! I just installed this and rebooted....when I did, I wanted to turn off the Battery Status program I've been using, so I touched my app drawer icon, and the screen went crazy, only half the app drawer opened at the top, and my program icons were all wiggling around. Didn't know what to do, I hit the back button and the bottom opened up, the phone vibrated a few times, and then slowly the drawer populated. Scared the you-know-what outta me! Phone seems fine now, we'll see on reboot how it behaves.

The mod does look great, despite the scare :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I only replaced the battery PNG image files. Otherwise, the framework is the same so should not be a problem. Replacing the framework while the phone is on will do the same thing. Will force close until you reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Do you have to reboot again? I rebooted from recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
You shouldn't have to but you might as well lol it's only a minute or two wasted and maybe you won't have any issues afterward.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
You shouldn't have to but try it if you are having an issue and let me know what happens. You can replace the original framework if needed but it seems unlikely replacing image files would cause any issues. Perhaps on the first boot after, the phone needs a little time to load/cache stuff when the framework changes. Either way, let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
the phone should just replace the framework and be updated upon reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I'm sorry if this sounds like a really dumb question, but if I flash using the Steam recovery, is that okay?

Are Steam and CWM interchangeable?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I completely shut the phone off and pulled the battery for good measure, and the phone rebooted with no further issues. All's well that ends well! :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I am not familiar with Steam but I would think it should not be a problem. Do you flash the Serendipity updates from Steam? If so, it should be no different. Maybe someone else can confirm that for you.

You can even just copy the framework file in the ZIP to /system/framework using root explorer to replace existing file. Then reboot right away as your phone will freak out on replacing this file while running.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
yeah it'll work without issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
Just tried to flash it.

E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/update.zip

(status 2)

Installation aborted.

Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
what were you trying to flash?

also what are you currently running?

rom / kernel / modem / etc.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
CircleBatterySerendipity4.2and4.3-cwm.zip. I also tried keeping the name the same.

I am using the Steam recovery and everything else is stock Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

that's strange. guess it doesn't work. lol

sorry i can't offer more help I don't use steam.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not sure why people are having problems but I removed it as I do not want to flood this thread with an optional add-on. If you still want to try it at your own risk, PM me. The battery circle mod is only replacing the existing battery image files in the existing framework with different ones. It is not changing anything else.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
someone should do the same mod over at the UOT and see if its am issue with steam or what.
[Captivate Android Development] Hondo209:
Installed Serendipity yesterday, the best ROM I've used to date. GPS locks every time within 10secs. One question though, I can't install Tibu Pro from the market that I purchased before. When I click to install, it says installed, but not in the menu. Any ideas why?
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
It finally worked!! you guys truly are angels!

I always had the sim and SD card removed. That weren't the issue. I was also very carefully about running ODIN in the begining, running in windows admin mode and everything. So the issue wasn't there either. I did remove all other USB hardwares and it just started working randomly. So i guess yeah the one-click version of odin might be the culprit here, other people have had issues with it too.

So yeah, as long as one can go to the download mode, he shouldn't really be afraid. Keep trying.

Thanks again guys. Cheers.

Ouch mate, can't possibly imagine what you had to go through.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Did you install the free version? I believe the paid one is just a key, you need the free certain for functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not sure why in that one case with Steam Recovery it was using update.zip. That is not the filename. Anyway, as I said, this is not the thread for troubleshooting these issues. The framework can be easily copied manually using Root Explorer manually without using CWM or Steam. So if anyone wants it, they can PM me and keep this thread on topic with Serendipity ROM questions and issues. Sorry for this.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I have my Wifi set to sleep when the screen is off, however it wont do so. It reads as always on. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Hondo209:
I've reinstalled pro with no problems before, when I flashed other roms. The market shows my apps that I have installed previously.
[Captivate Android Development] adamcoop22:
cant flash

i tried to flash from 3.o to 4.3 and it freezez at bootloader screen it enables the lagfix then freezez
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
lol fantastic! and it wasn't even that big of deal. my phone bricked and i went in and was like "dude idk whats going on but i cant get my phone to turn on and I'm freaking out!" and he just went and grabbed me a new one lol. SCORE. :)

you should flash back to stock / master clear before trying to flash a new version.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
It's a scripting issue. Short version - Two types of scripts, Amend and Edify. Edify is newer and (apparently) Steam recovery doesn't support Edify scripts. So this is why you can flash some things with Steam but not others. At some point I might take a whack at updating Steam to support Edify, but it's not real high on my list of priorities at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Kind of why I added the AT&T splash screen to the newer kernels. :) If you don't know what you're doing and you brick your phone, at least it still boots up with the AT&T screen instead of the i9000 one.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I just flashed Serendipity 4.3, and auto-rotate isn't working for me either.

I have "auto-rotate screen" selected in the display settings.
[Captivate Android Development] ozziecis:
Launcher Screens

Any way to reduce the number of screens for the launcher on 4.x? I can't find any launcher settings so wondering if we can edit some config file or something.
[Captivate Android Development] iiBenxD:
I'm constantly experiencing a force close (android.system.Phone or something like that) when someone calls me. It doesn't happen every single time I get a call, but it happens more than enough (more than 9/10 of the time). Would this be a modem issue?

I haven't changed anything except for the kernel (I'm running Firebird 2 v0.4), but I'm pretty sure I was getting the same issue before I flashed Firebird. I haven't tried a new modem, but could that even be the cause of the issue?

Oh, and can anyone tell me where to find logs from the crashes? Because those might come in handy at some point...
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
auto-rotate is working here. the only real problem I have is that vibration is STILL not working. at all. any ideas why this would be happening?
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Still cannot upload videos to youtube for whatever reason.....
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Installed ADWLauncher EX, and auto-rotate works. It must've been the default launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
I don't think its the default launcher. my auto-rotate worked right out of the box.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
In my talks with others who have had problems with auto-rotation, FCs, and similar oddities; if you haven't done a flash to stock and master clear in a while, or even the last major iteration, you may want to consider it. Doing so has resolved several of these kind of issues for most of the people I've talked to.

Also, let me just say that 4.2.1 (I don't use stock MMS, so I'm skipping 4.3... maybe) with Firebird 2 kernel has performed amazingly. I have my gmail and an exchange account that to 15 minute checks during off hours (all night) and a weather service that updates hourly, plus battery monitor widget that writes to a log file constantly and tracks battery history, and I left IRC connected to #Serendipity all night with no auto timeout. In 9 hours of sleep mode, it only used 9% battery, which is at least double the best performance I've seen with any other ROM/kernel combo.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I also had an issue with vibration but I have a fix.

Go to the market and download AudioManager. For some reason this fixes the problem plus its a really great app if you find yourself changing volume levels frequently for work, school, ect.

Hope this helps at least someone out.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Dude, you rock:-)
[Captivate Android Development] KC108:
I'm running Serendipity 4.1 with the Steam Recovery. Is there any way to update to 4.2.1 with Steam? If so, could someone kindly explain?
[Captivate Android Development] iiBenxD:
I've tried that. But yes, I agree with you. Ever since I started using Firebird, everything's been so much better. I have 30 minute updates for weather and constant updates for e-mail (I run a small business). But I overslept today (hey, it's the weekend ;)), and I slept at least 12 hours, but the battery only went down to 91%, and it was 98 when I fell asleep last night.

Edit: So what you're saying is that I should ignore the updates that are pushed out and restore my phone every single time a new update is pushed? Isn't that a little extreme...?
[Captivate Android Development] iiBenxD:
Download this: http://www.multiupload.com/X6DJ59ULH7

Push that to your phone's sdcard. Or, if you don't know how to do that, just mount your phone and copy the file to your sd card.

Hold the power button and choose to reboot into Recovery. Then select Install Zip from SD Card. Then select Choose Zip from SD Card. Then find the update zip (4.1 to 4.2.1.zip or something like that) and scroll down and find the "Yes" option, and wait for it to finish. When it's done, press the back button (physical button on the bottom of the phone) and press Reboot. You're done (:

Make sure to check that it worked in Setting > About. It might say 4.2 instead of 4.2.1, but ignore that, as long as it doesn't say 4.1 anymore (:

BTW: The method I described above is the exact same as it would be if you installing a new ROM. So if you already know how to install a custom ZIP, it's the same way as normal. And also, the options in Steam recovery are the same (labeled the same) as the ones in CWM, so if you're comfortable with CWM, you should be able to do fine with Steam. The only problem I had was instead of having an option to Go Back in the options list, you actually have to press the back button on the phone. GL!
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
I just did and its really easy. Just download the 4.1 - 4.2.1 update here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10337143&postcount=11

and then the 4.3 update from the first post of this thread.

Mount the phone on your computer and copy the 4.2.1 to the root of the SD card. I usually rename it update.zip just because its a little easier.

Reboot into recovery using the quickboot menu from the power button.

Select install /sd/update.zip and let it do its thing.

Repeat the process above but with the 4.3 update this time.

Good luck and hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Well, that may explain the FC's i'm getting on receiving phone calls... I changed modems, updated all the iterations... and now, i realize that i flashed the 4.0 the lazy way, i.e. by just disabling lagfix and flashing over 3.x.x... Will try installing from scratch and report...
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
That's a good point.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I just thought I would share my experience, since it is related to the recent convo. I flashed back to stock and master cleared then loaded up Serendipity 4.1. Swapped out the kernel to hardcores and the modem to KP1 from the very first day. Got FC on the phone on 4.1 still. Now I have updated to 4.3 and I just got another FC on the phone. So flashing stock and master clearing, swapping modems, nothing along those lines has worked as of yet.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
well I tried this but nothing. all it did was add an ugly widget to my home screen lol.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I used Odin to flash to stock & master clear prior to flashing 4.3.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
What post? You didn't link anything. Mikeymike, did you post a home haptic feedback fix for the gen x theme?
[Captivate Android Development] KC108:
Thanks a bunch, worked out perfectly !
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
No, I'm saying that you should do that when Mikey suggests it, and/or if you run into problems.
[Captivate Android Development] iiBenxD:
So then I'm definitely having a different problem, because I've used Odin and master clear every time I've installed a major revision, or anything that Mikey suggests I should use Odin for.

But my odin.android.phone is still crashing...
