I flashed few days ago Serendipity to my Att Captivate, and I'm totally loving it except for one thing. Most of the time I'm driving and with stock ROM I used the audio jack for output during phone calls. For some reason, Serendipity doesn't let me use the audio jack for output during calls, it just uses the built-in speaker or the integrated one. Is there any fix for this? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] dontshakepandas:
Mikey,

I apologize if this is a known issue, but I've never used the stock music player so I haven't ever noticed it. When I'm scrolling through my music using the little tab on the left and moving by letter, it only shows a few letters and they aren't even close to being correct. Is there a fix for this? It makes the app almost unusable for me.

Hi,

Just flashed 4.1 and am getting FC on process com.android.launcher. Did I do something wrong? Should I try refreshing again?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
What process did you follow to get to 4.1? Did you update, or flash from scratch? If you flashed from scratch, did you load stock first? Did you do a master clear? Generally, flashing to stock, master clear, then loading the new ROM solves any flashing issues for me.
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
Thanks, I just rebooted the phone and everything seems to be fine now. Will try the voltage control suggested by caleb4992.
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
Thanks, I'm new to changing the voltage but since my battery life is not doing very well I thought I'll give this a try.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
After I had redownloaded a new serendipity.zip file, it started booting, just with stability issues. Adjusting the UV seems to have fixed everything for me.

I was doing a master clear from Odin, so I assume that was covering just about everything and anything about the cache?
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
That explains it. I was reading the instructions last night and got confused. Flash back to stock and THEN master clear. I thought it would be the other way around. Why do you need to flash back to stock before you can do that?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Can anyone help with this?
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Do phone FCs happen to a significant amount of people using this ROM, or is it just a tiny minority? I want to know before I flash from my FC-less Perception 10 ROM

I love the idea of having the ability to update without starting from scratch...loving serendipity so far!

Make sure to ask for a rom with a view.

or

Find out if they offer rom service.

If they're rude, tell them to kiss your assonance.

If anyones curious, the update to 4.1 does get rid of the circle battery mod that we have come to love. :-\

[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
Did you try reapplying v5 of battery mod after the upgrade to 4.1? Curious if that still works on top of 4.1
[Captivate Android Development] cishos:
Great GPS!

a bit disappointed to see you didn't add the browser fix though :/
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Mike, did you drop this into v4.1?
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Yeah, you just have to re-apply it and it works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
BTW, this ROM with the Firebird 2 kernel is getting great battery life so far. I've had it on for 4 hours and I'm still at 91 percent, I've had two short phone calls, about 20 texts and around 30 minutes of bluetooth streaming music on the way to work.
[Captivate Android Development] quikmeister:
Love this Rom Mikey! You (and contributors) do a bang up job.

I never had issues with any Serendipity or Assonance.

I recalibrated my battery and have great battery life too.

More than a day or two depending on how much I am using my device.

I have always flashed back to stock and clear cache and even format before

flashing new ROM.

For those that asked before here is the grey wallpaper from the ROM. I also included another cool wall which I found and edited to try to match the gingerbread steezyness. ;)

Anyway to get black letters for the battery percentage with the gingerbread battery? I can hardly read the white ones...
[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
The battery mods do work fine, BUT you will lose the new theming on the lockscreen widget for the music player. It will go back to the original purple background.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Definitely agree with this statement. FWIW I didn't realize you had to use v5 with 4.0.1 or 4.1, v4 works fine for me.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Do you mean the purple background for the music player? I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to be that way. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
Yeah, that was one of the changes that Mikey included in 4.1. I'm working on putting together a gingerbread battery icon with bigger #'s. Give me a little bit of time and I should have it done.
[Captivate Android Development] ozziecis:
Very nice, but help plz?

So I tried to update the fonts (which failed through steam recovery) and rebooted. Now when I try to open many apps (atm, specifically facebook, k-9, pandora) they FC immediately. I captured the following from logcat when I tried to open facebook - can someone tell me what I need to do to fix? I imagine that I Effed something up when trying to flash new fonts:

Thanks in advance. BTW, I just flashed 4.0.1 last night.

EDIT: If I posted this in the wrong place, plz let me know where the correct place to post this would be.

EDIT 2: Screw it, gonna start over and flash 4.1 instead since I only just flashed 4.0.1 last night.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Sounds great, PM me a link when you get it done so I don't have to dig through a few pages to find it if I'm not on here, lol. And I'll definitely test it out if you need me to.
[Captivate Android Development] quikmeister:
First off I would get in the habit of making a nandroid backup before applying a flash, just in case something goes wrong you can roll back easily.

Secondly, Im not a dev but I would try replacing the files in the zip you flashed with the original ones from the Serendipity zip, and reflash. That might fix your issue. You won't have the font you wanted, but at least it might fix your problem.

Lastly, I just make fonts into a apk and install them. That way I can just go into Settings>Display>Font Style and select and change them on the fly. If you have a specific font you want let me know and I can try to put it in a apk for ya.

If you want to make fonts for yourself heres the thread with the info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755476

Good luck and let me know how you fix your problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ozziecis:
Thx for your post - I actually already did what you suggested, thinking it might fix what I did. But it didn't. The reflash of the original fonts also failed.

EDIT: On the other hand, I wouldn't mind learning how to make an APK for fonts. I'd appreciate a quick step-by-step or link if you have the time :)
[Captivate Android Development] :
This alone is worth the upgrade. Great job!

Is the giant 'take a picture' button removed then since we are using the power button to take the shot? Id like to see the button removed because it takes up a lot of space... space that we could be using for the camera. :)

I switched back to GB with UV, and used the recommended settings from his post, but I'm still noticing that I had better battery with Firebird, and comparable performance. Do any of you notice whether it takes a few cycles to see improvements?

I'm a fan of GB's kernel but I had battery drain amongst other issues, I switched to Firebird (I like DG's work as well) and I'm noticing an improvement in battery life. In my case I think my phone doesn't play well with 1280 kernels even when clocked lower.

[Captivate Android Development] flak4:
Just going to bump this.

I noticed when scrolling by letter in the Music Player that; instead of A, B, C,D etc. it shows Y, A, R, S. Nothing else.

It still scrolls alphabetically it just doesn't show the correct letter. This applies for artists, albums, playlists...everything in the Music Player app.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I don't believe this is a rom issue. I had this problem way back when I side loaded the stock music player on Eclair. Scrolling was always way off.

[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Errrrm, I don't know, but I doubt it. I checked the release notes and it does not mention it. I do not use SMB. It is in the market: File Manager from Adao. Give it a whirl.

[Captivate Android Development] ozziecis:
FYI - all settings are set as in Dungeon47's doc by default on 4.1 (at least was in mine). You'll just need to A) uncheck "Use Wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites", B) go to GPS LBSTestMode settings and Delete GPS Data, then C) go back and re-check what's in A.

I then went to a window in my office building, opend GPS LBSTestMode and ran Get Position Test and was able to get 6 satellites locked in about 20 seconds. Opened Maps and initially had me locked within 10 meters, then went to 30 meters. For me, this is better than I was getting before this ROM (although 4.0.1 seemed better the 12 hours I had it on my phone). I'll see how accurate it stays on my drive home and report back later.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I believe it's a limitation with texting technology (or carrier induced restriction). In the camera app there is an option to "limit for MMS".

[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Even though signal comes back the first call you get after getting that message force closes phone 90 percent of the time. The second call comes through fine so you may never even know it happens...anybody that gets important calls and uses airplane mode should stay away from jl3...

Will be flashing to 4.1 tonight, hopefully the FC errors are gone. I can't really afford to miss work related calls but I couldn't deal with using the stock ROM. It's rare now (went from multiple times per day in 2.0 to 2-3x per week in 3.0) but if I do see it again I'll try to replicate and get a log.
