[Captivate Android Development] :
I still cant seem to get Bluetooth to work. It instantly force closes as soon as I activate it. Not sure whats wrong.

MM, I have a question/favor to ask. Any way to take the AOSP mms app and incorporate the Samsung files that wake the screen up?
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
push to system/apps?

Nevermind just moved vending.apk to /system/app, looks awesome btw. and I'll definitely be flashing to 3.5 anyway
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Have you then gone into calendar settings and made sure the calendars are selected and are syncing?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
You don't remove the voltage control app. Go In and set the max clock to 1000. And undervolting increases battery life as well.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Making the AOSP MMS app a bit more Samsung like is being worked on in the IRC. The first goal is to make it work with the lock screens. No promises.
[Captivate Android Development] ggonzalez7777:
Well I figured out the whole fiasco with the battery gauge issue. Thank god I'm resourceful because if my life was in danger and I had to rely on the forum I'd be raped, killed, and left in a ditch somewhere. Annnnnnywayyysssss, the root cause was due to how I was applying speedmod without out disabling voodoo on GB's kernel. Once I disabled it and then installed speedmod my "id" was restored. It probably messed with my product code. Hope this helps somebody since its every man for himself. And let the flaming begin.....
[Captivate Android Development] Saganator:
First time poster here.. Also my first time using ROMs. Really digging Serendipity 2.0, but I have one issue that may be a deal breaker if I can't get it fixed. Today I was late to work because of charge death. Put the phone on the charger over night after setting my alarms, but they never went off because it was frozen after it apparently finished charging.

Did some searching and from what I've found the fix is to flash a new kernel? I read that speedmod would work as it isn't overclocked. I have mine capped at 1Ghz.

If I do need a new kernel, can I just flash it over what I have using steam? Pretty new to this, was hoping I could just use this straight out of the box. I was pretty happy about not screwing up so far, little nervous about flashing new kernels and modems ect.

I'm using Serendipity 2.0 on Samsung Captivate, no other mods/roms/ect.
[Captivate Android Development] ggonzalez7777:
Well from my experience, to have a completely fluid change of kernels, I recommend disabling the lagfix first then flashing the kernel. I'm personally using the speedmod kernel and the above is exactly how I got it working. Keep in mind that after you install the kernel, you should go back into ClockworkMod and enable the lagfix and also all the cool tweaks and BLN for a full speedmod experience. Plus there was an update for speedmod k12m that decrease the brightness, speed increases, and other cool stuff. Hope this helps!!!

Just donated 20 buckaroos Mikey!!! You flipping rock!!
[Captivate Android Development] Saganator:
I saw an option to disable lagfix in steam.. can I use that instead? Pardon my newbness
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
Does anyone have the link to the black google search bar widget, totally missed out on that.

found it here if anyone is interested, this should be released with Serendipity mikey :D

Pushed the new market app into system/app and it just force closes. I pushed the one found in the 3.0 zip back and it worked fine again. Anyone else getting force closes with the new app?
[Captivate Android Development] ua549:
The Blutooth icon stays grey even when it is connected. It should turn blue!

So far I've had no trouble with this ROM. Everything I've tried works well.

This was my first flash. I've been stock for 6 months!
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
use root explorer find vendor.apk, move vendor.apk to system/app, when prompted to replace, confirm, it will reboot for you
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Why don't all devs post torrent links? Awesome man.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
idk what the problem is but my market its force closing when I open it. I'm using the one that mikey just released.
[Captivate Android Development] ggonzalez7777:
Yup, that should work. Let it do it thinking for a while and once it reboots to the homescreen make sure you have the speedmod kernel (ClockworkMod version) in your "root" of the sdcard (make sure its in the same location as where you'll find the android folder, don't put in it inside any of those folder). Hold the power button, reboot to recovery, then go to install to zip, then install from sdcard, choose the speedmod rom and the phone will do the rest!! Now if you want to enable the lagfix on the speedmod, go back to recovery, then go to lagfix and enable ext4 lagfix. Same with the tweaks and BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
Weird... Serendipity 3.0 and Speed mod K12M-T1 here and everythings green.

3.0 Battery Life

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.....

Odin based re-flash to stock, full wipe, CWM based install of 3.0.

My battery life testing is thus far out of this world! 29 hours + since getting mine set up with 3.0, not-steam, max 1GHz, and all my pictures, contacts, etc. restored. On WiFi primarily (97+% of the time), validated around 2 Meg Up and Down on HSUPA several times (just to test). 70% remaining battery.

I am not using my Captivate as my primary phone (yet). I am using the SIM from my USB 305 Sierra Wireless Broadband Device (it does everything but phone calls). Web surfing, Market, Youtube, MMS, Email (Gmail and Exchange based), Video, etc. I do not use social network stuff (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). I swapped my iPhone 4 SIM (using a micro SIM adapter) into the Captivate briefly to validate I could make and receive calls (then put the other SIM back in to start my battery testing).

Essentially I have been using my Captivate for Email, Texting and minor Web browsing. The fact the phone is sitting next to me, getting emails and texts in near real time (without flaws) and has this kind of battery life blows my mind! I have read over 30 emails, responded to about a third of them, 20 or so text messages with responses to almost all of them, etc.

I have no idea what was changed to make the useful "standby time" so good, but please keep it in!

Great Work Mike!!!!!

Regards to all,

George
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Are you planning on dropping it soon?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Same here. I cleared data and cache with no luck. I'm reverting back ad I type...
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
You guys are missing out, black google bar and black market look awesome :D
[Captivate Android Development] Mrscdrul:
I did that. :-( I can try again.....
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
1 - is there a fix for time error in messaging? all received messages are dated 5 hours earlier than they should be....

2 - my task manager disappear (no i didnt hide or uninstall it), can someone attach taskmanager.apk or stuff like that here?

3 - whenever my battery level exceeds 90%, i keep losing signal... i have to reboot the phone and the problem disappear temporarily untill battery level falls below 80%... any idea about this?

i love the battery life and gps of this rom...and it is fast too...great work mikey.... eta on 3.5? :)
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
The phone process crash isn't fixed in 3.0. Just received a call and as soon as it started ringing the force close box popped up for the phone process. The phone was still ringing while the box box up but as soon as you hit the ok button the process closes.

The only other thing I've noticed is that in the Settings/Wireless and network/ the word Synchronize is spelled wrong "Synchronise" but when you actually select it the settings application crashes.
[Captivate Android Development] Saganator:
Ok I did this, only thing you didn't mention was steam asking if I wanted to backup/restore after disabling lagfix. Not sure if I wasn't supposed to do so, but I did.. the phone ended up looping the boot screen, but turning the phone off and back on worked just fine. To make sure it worked I went back into steam and I still have an option to disable lagfix and nothing to enable it. Did it not work? Is there a way to see if lagfix is enabled or not? Thanks for all your help so far
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It doesn't crash for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
[1]: This is a error on behalf of your carrier, if your carrier is rogers, the only thing you can do is call them and and complain, or get the SMStimefix off the android market. I had the same problem earlier, it's really annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] wretchedlocket:
Got the LCD density working on boot this time around.

Restored back to stock

Flashed Serendipity 3.0

Flashed Steam

Set LCD density

Rebooted and all is well now
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
When's it coming out?
[Captivate Android Development] Lawliet L Ryuzaki:
The other alternative im trying to figure out is restoring the receiving time instead of sent- when using serendipity 1 to 2 everything was the right order (i too am on rogers).

I cant find the zip/apk that opens with the .dax file inside that mikey mentioned a few back D:

Sent from my brain telepathically in a state of serendipity
[Captivate Android Development] Mrscdrul:
Cleared market data...still isn't working. It seems that ONLY pocket ledgends will not download.
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
If you find this please link because this is the only thing driving me insane
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
This may sound weird but do you have Google talk installed?
[Captivate Android Development] Mrscdrul:
Yea...I tried logging out it just closes and when I open it again its already logged back in
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Well, there goes my idea. Sorry
[Captivate Android Development] Mrscdrul:
Its okay. Thank you for offering! I figured I would ask to see if there any ideas out there.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I'm having the same phone process crash. Are you by chance NOT using the steam kernel? Someone posted here accusing non-steam kernels for all the various FC and problems people are having. He said Mikey tested the ROM using that kernel. I'm going to give this ROM one more shot and use the steam kernel...I won't have time until later tonight. I'll post my results. Maybe try reflashing and install the steam kernel RIGHT after you flash the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I have to redo the .9.pngs on DialerTabActivity.apk (did it for framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and Contacts.apk already) and 3.5 should be done.

ChanceM also figured out how to change the blue text for the day on the lockscreen to green, so that'll be included too.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Will there be a 3.0 to 3.5?

Thanks Mikey
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Is this what it feels like to be a drug addict? I'm so addicted to MM's ROMs that I'm sitting here refreshing my browser waiting on 3.5....I need to get out more :)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
No.

It's primarily an overhaul of how things are done. Instead of quick/sloppy shortcuts the theme is done the correct way. It will decompile properly, things won't stretch out all crazily, etc. If you're happy with 3.0, then leave it. 3.5 should be less problematic (I've flashed 5+ times and not a single bout of Launcher Force Close... things like that.).
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Here's an example:

The message button was stretched because I didn't edit the .9 pngs correctly the first time. Now I know how they work and redid all of them.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
I used TiB to freeze the following: (looking at Battery life)

Google Talk

Google Voice

News and Weather

SNS and SNSAccount

No ill affects for what I need (others mileage may vary!).

In any case, TiB freeze appears to be a really good way to experiment with turning things on and off (such as Google Talk in your case).

G
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Thanks for the reply. No sir, I will be flashing :-)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Google Talk is no longer needed for the Market to function since the update. Which is why it's an optional addon now.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I am having problems using The SpeedMod kernel. I flashed via CWM, and wiped Dalvik Cache, but I have Force Closes on practically everything. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
umn i cant tell the difference at all between your 3.0 vs 3.5 screenshots.

any idea what time youll post 3.5? probably tonight right?
[Captivate Android Development] Yayodroid:
Love it! Thanks! :) the only thing that i dont like is how the app scroll is up and down in the app drawer. i think thats the only reason i get the adw launcher really, so that i can scroll left to right. is there a different solution or option that i dont know about? no biggie really, i can just keep getting adw.
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Look at the edges to the "Send message" buttons.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
ohh okay now i can see it, wasnt very obvious though
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's the stock eclair launcher. It offers no customization. That's why ADW Launcher, etc. exist... to provide such customization to people that want it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's a big deal to me, because every time I saw it it screamed "THE GUY WHO DID THIS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS DOING LOLOLOLOL".

Buttons are mean. :(
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
A man who strives for perfection....good on you!
[Captivate Android Development] psai:
A quick question

I'm running Serendipity 2.0 right now, and I want to upgrade to 3.0.

Do I have to flash back to stock JF6, and do a Master Clear first, or can I just flash the Serendipity 2.0 zip directly?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
haha yeah i cant blame ya man

you planning on putting 3.5 out tonight?
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
It is recommended by the experts to start fresh to decrease the risk of problems. Some people have been successful when flashing over previous ROMs however if you have luck like I do, you will have problems:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Hold out for 3.5. Should be up tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
And on that note...where's my charger...
[Captivate Android Development] psai:
Thanks guys! Looks like I'll wait for 3.5 then!
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
anyone know how to run a logcat? SOrry i have never done that before. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
This will clear the logcat (it covers everything that happened since your boot up)

adb logcat -c

This will print out the logcat to a text file

adb logcat > filename.txt

Look for "FATAL". That's what force closes go in as.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Mikey, love this rom! Any plans to build anything on XJL1 which is the rogers cappy official froyo? I have been using i9000 roms for months now and I tried cog 3.0 today and I feel that I get better cell service with cappy roms kernels modem, might just be me though
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I've run into a problem.

I flash to stock, Master clear, blah blah blah, and then flash 3.5. Voodoo does it's thing, then it says Voodoo lagfix now activate and then...

Nothing. Just stays at the GT-i9000 screen indefinitely. :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I captured this:
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
that is not ideal!
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I asked you to get rid of that screen! ;)

I know, I know, talk to GB :)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The peculiar part is this, it does install the kernel properly. If I reboot into recovery using the 3 button methods, then I'm presented with the red voodoo kernel.

AND if I flash it from there, it works completely fine.

If I flash it over 3.0, it works completely fine.

:confused:

So it's not a problem with the ROM, per se.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Do you think it's related to the new root method coming from stock?
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
LOL, newb. Sounds like you didn't odin, or you didn't flash right.:D
[Captivate Android Development] sarcasmo:
I had some issues when receiving calls when on 2.0 so flashed to 3.0 last night. Everything since has been awesome. Battery life with your ROMs has been great. Thanks for all your hard work. Of course, now I have to look at the planned changes for 3.5 to see if I should flash again :-) What a great problem to have.
[Captivate Android Development] cupps:
Same here. Loving 3.0 and can't wait for 3.5. I know you're currently trying to fix that new feature where the ROM doesn't boot... but any chance we could get a peek at the features coming with 3.5?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
3.5

Converted installation script from Amend to Edify

Recompiled all .apks with broken .9 PNGs with corrected 9patch data

Themed Market

Further UI Tweaks (Date in lockscreen is now green)
[Captivate Android Development] apbamaman:
This ROM is the complete and utter truth.
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
Thanks Mikey. No more crashing after a couple reboots for other things. Any instructions on how to use it?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
No clue what it's for. :)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
mm - did u get a chance to look at the logcat i posted?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's unusable in that format.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
figured out the video player!! The ROM does not like the stock Samsung VP when I dropped in the AOSP from the OP...no problems
[Captivate Android Development] LucasMac:
I set Scheduler to noop and Limit clock to 1000 MHz, and selected both Apply for now and Save as boot settings. Is there anything more I need to do than that? My battery is draining at approximately 20% an hour. I watched The Green Hornet tonight, which was good, by the way, and was at 33% just as the trailers were starting. During the movie the battery died. On the stock ROM I was seeing a drain of about 5% an hour.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
So my battery tests with SpeedMod kernel today have been disappointing. I had 2 or 3 times better performance using GB kernel that came with 3.0. Next time around, I think I may try the Steam kernel for comparison. 3.5 can't come soon enough.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The one in the OP IS the Samsung one.

You probably were using a non-JPY one.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Hmm, this version of Market is FCing a lot for me, though inconsistently.

I wiped its data in TiBu, wiped Dalvik cache in Steam, tried TiBu's Market Doctor and Dalvik cleanup, and I still get the FC's.

Going back to the 3.0 version.

Running Serendipity 3.0

UPDATE: The Market.apk from Serendipity 3.0 is working fine for me, no FC's.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I've been getting the same thing: hence my urgency for 3.5 lol.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Same here, had it for about an hour and it's fc'd twice, looks awesome, though, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Not to mention how cool "black market" sounds.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Yep, same thing here. Stock Serendipity 3.0 with Steam kernel #4.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
MikeyMike01 any chance you can test LCD Density or similar app at 185 with 3.5 set at boot to see if the problem with 3.0 is gone?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
And this, haha. Just wiped dalvik, I couldn't get the market to open, maybe that fixed it.

Rebooting...

Great, won't go past the anrdoid . . . screen, just reflashing 3.0 for now, oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I'm getting close to just flashing 3.0 again myself, but I don't want to if 3.5 is coming out in possible minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Yeah, changed my mind, tried rebooting one more time and it started up fine, but market still is fcing.

Here's the market from 3.0
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
lol, geeks be a-lurkin'.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
I have nothing better to do tonight, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
dl links still show 3.0?

Thank you for the release of 3.5. I'll hopefully update to 3.5 soon.

Just a random question. Why did you name it 3.5 instead of 3.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
As soon as that link is up, I'm gonna be on it like a pack of dogs on a 3-legged cat! Like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm.

We're hitting this download like an avalanche of frozen vikings!

On a serious note. Does the Steam kernel gain me anything besides the touchscreen recovery? It didn't look like it, but I may have missed something.

My wife asks, "what are you doing?"

I say, "I'm flashing my phone."

"Flashing, eh?" she says.

I proceed to drop trou. "Look, I'm flashing my phone while flashing my phone. Meta-flashing."

She lols.

I love my wife.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
How did you flash it?
[Captivate Android Development] cupps:
So I jumped all over the download link, started fresh with Odin... and I think it's frozen on the boot screen. I've got "Galaxy S GT-I9000" displayed, but it's been ten-ish minutes without voice or anything to indicate it's still going.

Gonna try it again, but just wanted to give some feedback.
