Just a reminder to those flash addicts (like me?) - it's pretty simple to run a full nandroid backup in recovery before flashing an update like 6.3, and a lot safer, too. Reversion takes 5 minutes. You can only do it if you have about 400MB free, but I've got about 10 GB free (I keep most media on my external SD, so it stays through a master clear, since it isn't in the phone when I Odin) so it works for me.

I think I'll stay clear of 6.3 for a while. I've made my own UI tweaks, added a lot of custom red to the REDROM theme, and don't want to lose all of that, or have to recreate it.

...Unless I can just replace the "drawable-hdpi" part of the 6.2 REDROM before flashing. Of course, that may be the whole nexus of the UI tweaks...
[Captivate Android Development] freaktractor:
sorry if this was addressed before...im new to this forum

i just bought a captivate tonite and rooted it

flashed 6.3 as per instructions...

i can make calls but cant sign into market or google...

it says i have no network connection

im using my g1 to tether to write this so i know im not having issues with my carrier...

what might the solution be?

thanks for any help
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Several options:

First toggle Airplane mode off and on

if that doesn't work

Reboot

if that doesn't work

Reboot into Recovery and Clear Dalvik Cache under advanced Clockwork and Clear Cacha Partition and Reboot

if that doesn't work

Under Settings>Applications>All , Find market and Clear Data

if that doesn't work

Flash another modem

if that doesn't work

Worst case scenario re-flash 6.3

Edit: Make sure your on band 850 by going to dialer *#0011#, Also make sure you don't have Mobile Data disconnected if your not on wifi.

These are just some things I would be but I'm not an expert

6.2 -> 6.3

Hey guys,

First thanks for a great rom. I've been on this longer that any other. You cured my addiction.

Just a note on moving from 6.2->6.3, I lost my theme (Cozmic73) after flashing. Not a biggie, I just reinstalled theme and all is fine.

is there any way the kitchen and redrom could be given version numbers? or at least compatibility indexes so we know when they are updated and what changes might have snuck in?

When I try to install angry birds or angry birds seasons (I'm guessing it's any large app) I get an error saying insufficient storage space available when I clearly have more than enough space available. Is there any way to fix this? I tried clearing cache and dalvik, and wiping data for the download manager and market to no avail. Any solutions?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Not that I would dare take any credits for the clock toggle mod , since I am NOT the person who built the code for it in the first place , although I am the first one to port it to the captivate, it doesnt mean much , It is great to see it implemented in many roms , the only thing that bothers me here ,(not to mention imho the credits should be in the OP here @ XDA forum as well) looking at the list of Credits on your website :

I fail to see the name of developers who not only have achieved the mods but some even provided there source for a few mods built in this rom , I guess its common nowadays not to thank the source and I guess it hurts just a tad bit now that I know how coding can be a pita to see some of these name being forgotten ...

ok maybe I was in a ****ty mood when I wrote that but you get the idea

Couldn't you have just asked Mikey to give you credit without the guilt trip? I'm sure he didn't mean it and it is an easily rectified omission.

I posted this inquiry to Mikey and his reply was it would be ok to post this here in Serendipity...

I have visual issues and look for things that fit my problem. I have found a keyboard and dialer that meet my contrast spectrum but can't figure how to install them. I have asked the questions on the themes op but they don't quite seem to understand the question (Seems they're German). The theme is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003379 Could someone please help me extract and make these work on v6.3?

Any opinions on glitterballs's new kernel?

According to GB, it has "a full 32bit GPU accelerated framebuffer (slightly more technical version - global fb GPU acceleration with u32 classifiers, slightly less technical version - everything is GPU accelerated instead of just the stock browser)" but "it's not compatible with "fugu mod", so if you're using a ROM with "fugu mod", flash the unfugu-mod.zip attached."

Will using the unfugu-mod FUBAR Serendipity? Will having everything GPU accelerated make things smoother than the FUGU tweaks? Since it uses steam recovery, does that mean it's incompatible with CWM zips (like the REDROM theme and Serendipity kitchen addons)?

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Here's how I improved my GPS reception & accuracy.

1. I installed Adam's GPS Fix

2. I installed the BUJS1 modem, and left it on WCDMA 850 rather than automatic.

3. In SGS Tools > LbsTestMode I'm using the following settings:

Application Settings: Tracking, S/W Test, Standalone, Hot Start, On, On, 30, Off

SUPL/CP Settings: Custom Config, supl.google.com, 7276, off, SUPL

I'm getting fast locks and 5m accuracy (even indoors, by a window) with SGS Tools Get Position Test, GPS Status, Google Navigation and Telenav.

If you're not close to the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border (like I am), none of this may apply. :cool:

Pandora issues

Not sure if this is related to the ROM or if it's a Pandora issue, but figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else is having the same issues I am.

First and most annoying issue with Pandora is that it doesn't pause when it disconnects from Bluetooth. The latest release of Pandora, v1.5.5 added in support for it to pause after disconnecting from Bluetooth, but I'm still having issues.

Equally annoying is their widget. After X amount of time, you have to go in and actually reopen the application to start the music. I'm not sure if there is something in this ROM with the way it handles memory and such that could be causing it to 'time out'? Example, I have the Pandora widget activated, I pause the music because I get out of my car. 4 hours later I go back to my and want to play where I left out. I hit the play button on the widget, nothing happens. Even the skip button doesn't work. I have to manually go in to the app and play my music, which doesn't resume from the last song, btw.

Anyone else having any funky issues with Pandora at all?

I have to agree about the battery life. I'm on 6.2, Onix 2.0.1, now JQ1 modem. Standby drain is 1% every 2 hours - not flight mode, I can still receive texts and calls. And in an average-to-above usage day (read about 20 emails, respond to a third of them, couple of calls, a dozen texts back and forth, multiple wifi picture transfers, tested the GPS, etc) I'm still at 50% after 22 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Me too. But Costco's borderline stupid return policy let me throw caution to the wind.

I haven't used my Desktop in 3 days. My phone gets no usage except text messages.
