What kernal are you using?

I also want to say thanks to you guys. I out of curiousity flashed straight to JQ1, which worked, but lost ability to get 850. Went back and flashed in order Jl2->JPD->JPG->JQ1 (making sure 850 was enabled each time) and works like a charm.

We will see how battery life is. Everything else works fine.

I have a simple question. Where are the wallpaper images located on the sd card. I'm trying to find them via root explorer but can't seem to locate them.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
You flashed this all in one CWM session, or did you have to reboot each time?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Is that on 850 or 1900 or auto?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I rebooted each time; I don't think you can check bands unless you do.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
First time really flashing a modem like this, so after all is said and done do you want to have 850 only picked, or Automatic? If 850 is picked will it never pick up 1900 even if it's a stronger signal?

Thanks Chance. That fixed my GPS.

Im running speedmod K13D and loving it. Its kind of a pain to get 850 to work, but once you do its awesome. Hopefully you will get aweosme battery life like I am.

It is on auto and wifi is always on.
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
I am using JQ1 as well. I flashed with the sequence posted earlier, but left it set to automatic and it is camping on 850 when idle so I believe it works. I flashed the Suckerpunch-Voodoo this morning and did a little undervolting to see how the battery is. I was getting great battery with Speedmod and JQ1, but I prefer the Voodoo sharpness and color so I figured I would test it out.
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
JQ1 & Paragon

Just tried the steps listed above and when finished I could get NO signal!! Re-flashed the J?4 and all is well............:confused:

Sometimes it's just better to leave a good thing alone.

I get great battery life with the J?4 anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
I am still on Speedmod as well, so I will be curious how your suckerpunch kernal does with the JQ1.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Did you make sure it had enough time to connect to 850? I'd give it a good 2-3 minutes from when it finishes booting. Make sure you're doing this between every modem.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
Flashed JQ1 this afternoon with the sequence posted. Girlfriend tried to call me from her break, said she called 3 times and the phone went straight to VM the first two times and rang before going to VM the 3rd time. Problem being my phone was sitting on the desk with me, with signal the entire time, and didn't ring. Been dialing my phone on and off for the last hour from my landline, rings most of the time but twice now I've gotten an error that I've dialed wrong or the phone has been disconnected.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I stopped after flashing JL2, which seems to be working pretty well here in Rhode Island. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] :
Did you clear your Dalvik cache after you verified that you had JQ1 installed and on WCDMA 850?
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
No, and I just flashed back to JK4 and had the same error when I tried dialing myself. I'll flash back to jq1 and clear the cache, did I miss that instruction somewhere or is that just an idea that might be causing it?
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
Initial impressions are that the Suckerpunch-Voodoo uses more battery on my device than the Speenmod kernel. I am getting 2-3% drain per hour at idle state using the SP-Voodoo, and Speedmod was excellent in the idle state (0.6-0.8% / hour). I have verified that multiple times with the Speedmod kernel. I think I will go back to K12D for now. The JQ1 | K12D still has been the best for me battery wise.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Does it hurt, inspite of warning from titanium backup to uninstall a couple of system apps installed from the kitchen (voice dialer & google voice) ? Also after I installed gingerbread battery mod along with transitions from the kitchen last night my battery is draining rapidly, was great before battery mod and transitions, will this stabilize?

Well my phone is completely busted now after going back to jq1 and clearing cache. I can dial out, but trying to dial in results in a very long pause on my landline followed by going back to the dial tone.

At this point I'd rather just go back to 5.12 which was problem free for me, any chance anyone has a link where I can download it?
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
If you have to reflash, why not just go back to 6.2? Were you having issues before?

As I said before, I had the same issue but flashed the sequence, used sgs tools to make sure of the band being used, and the cleared davlik and all is well now. I will see if i have an old download of serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
Well I was having some problems before, nothing major but when I can't use the phone as a phone I consider that the final straw.

Of couuuuurse, as it turns out the problem isn't my cell phone. When I took my sim and threw it in my nokia go phone and still couldn't take a call I figured something was wrong, went to my room mate and his phone isn't working either. I might still go back to 5.12 though, it was rock solid for me.

Edit: Never got an answer a few pages back, after flashing to JQ1, and making sure you have 850 connecting (which I do), do you leave it on 850 only or set it back to automatic?
[Captivate Android Development] tallsilver:
I probably didn't! I re-flashed it after the jk4 and it seems to be working ok. I'll give it a couple days to see if it does any better than jk4. :rolleyes:

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Go back to automatic. My phone generally picks up the 850 on its own now where I livel.
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
Too bad. 6.2 has been solid for me. I tried Twingerbread recently (it is now Apex) and that was a decent rom as well. Very solid. You may want to give that a try, though, I came from it and am enjoying Serendipty a bit more. A little more refined and smoother. Less bloat.

Nonetheless, I had no real issues with Apex/Twingerbread.

Running 6.2, CWM flashed Suckerpunch #57 when it was just updating to #58. I had just converted my system to ext4 but had not sent any emails out before that. So I am not sure if that is the cause. 6.2 has been running solid for me since I flashed it 4-5 days ago.

The biggest difference b/w 6.2 and 5.12 for gps is the Operation Mode. Just go to *#*#3214789650#*#*, Application Settings and change Op Mode to "standalone".

JQ1

OK all of you JQ1 modem advocates, help me out here. I successfully went through the flashing order and am now running JQ1 on the 850 band only. I decided to try this because I was hearing about it "doubling" battery life. Totally opposite for me. With the JK4 modem I was running at about 5% per hour which is acceptable to me because I typically have plenty of opportunity to plug my phone in. Now, with all of the same OC/UV settings and wifi off, I am burning about 6% every 30 minutes. I don't get it. I suppose I am missing something, but going through the threads I don't know what it is.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Is what ways is JQ1 significantly better than JL2? Signal strength? GPS? Battery use?

I'm getting surprisingly quick GPS locks with JL2 and the Skullcap-Voodoo #6 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I don't see a huge difference between JQ1 and when I was on JL3. If anything, my speedtest.net scores are lower, but the time it takes to download an app, or the call quality is the same. Also, battery I haven't truely tested yet, but it looks to be pretty close to the same.
[Captivate Android Development] morrty:
If I just want to factory reset my phone including the SD card contents, stock apps that come with the ROM and everything else, should I use ODIN and do a master clear or should I factory reset it through the settings and delete the SD card? Is it the same thing?

Basically, I just want to go to a fresh boot of 6.2
[Captivate Android Development] :
Guys, modems are region specific. What works great for me might not work for you. All I can say is try it and if it works well then great, if not then flash back. For me in SoCal Im getting great dl/ul speeds and great voice/cell coverage. JQ1 is a keeper for me, but thats me in SoCal.

As for college days, mine consisted of contant Halo lan parties. Oh man those were some fun years...
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I usually use odin 1 click, flash to stock, then master clear. Then go through the custom rom process again
[Captivate Android Development] :
Hmm, this is an intresting point. I upgraded my gallery app from SGS tools and that seemed to speed up my gallery considerably. Im thinking about ripping the gallery from Cog though and trying it. Thanks for your pointer.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Trying out Cog's gallery now, I don't mind the 3-4 seconds it takes to open, but quicker is always nicer :)
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
Thanks! I had not thought of that, but it totally makes sense. I will play around with it and see what I get.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I get that, but different people may choose different modems for different reasons. For example, some people may be willing to accept higher battery use in exchange for better cell connectivity.

This is what I was asking, not whether a modem that works well in SoCal will help me in RI.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
If jq1 doesn't prove to be too great for me, I can just flash back to JL3 without any special steps right?

Edit: The gallery from Cog is way faster than the stock serendipity one. I don't know why, but I can open it instantly now.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Is the icon different? I don't know if Cog4 has the gallery fix, and you could get battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ya, but dont just give it 10 minutes and expect to make a final decision. I waited a few days, and within those days, call quality was always stellar but GPS and dl/up speeds and battery all were just "ok" when i first loaded JQ1. But after a few reboots and clearing Dalvik cache, everything improved dramaticlly. After running it for about 3 days it seemed to peak at optimum perfromance. Now Im getting awesome everything (call quality, GPS, battery and dl/ul speeds).

I was really looking for great call quality because I use my phone a lot everyday. I first noticed that the call quality (for me) was stellar. At least on par or better than KB1 with the audience chip activated. This made me happy as I have now found a modem that was both loud and clear (JK4 always seems a little tinny to me) so I stuck with it. As each new day passed, i noticed that everything else that a modem effects started to increase, so that was just a bonus for me. I was willing to have normal battery or less than normal battery at the cost of great call quality, but it turned out that I didnt have to.

I hope this better explains what Ive been trying to say.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
The icon is the same as it was before, I went and asked on the Cog thread if it had the fix, but idk.
