[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Strangely (and happily), I am running stock Serendipity 3.5.2 with Touchdown (Push) and 1 Gmail Account (Push)) and I have been experiencing 16-20 hours per battery charge.

On Perc 10.1 (Stock) I was lucky to get 10 hours.

I do turn wifi off as soon as I leave home.
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
I posted the wallpaper I used back at post 2889. :)

Edit --- Ooo look at that. 100 posts :)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Yea but it all depends on what you do and for how long. Everybody's battery life is going to be different because we don't use our phones the same way. I just posted mine because that was the first time I've actually used my phone until the battery went dead. This is classified as heavy use.
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
I like this ROM but for some reason my accelerometer and screen rotation doesn't work. I'm using the 4.01 version. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
What you said more eloquently above is what I was trying to point out to @Dungeon47. I have two push email accounts going (And Touchdown is a hog), use my phone moderate to heavy, and I am getting good battery life out of plain stock Serendipity 3.5.2, so it is not necessarily the push accounts causing the issue.

I appreciated the info and I may give your UV settings a try.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Stupid question, but is auto rotate turned on? settings -> display -> auto rotate
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I actually may have gotten better battery life if I had optimized my push settings. I usually have my Gmail to sync once per day, because i usually refresh it manually. My twitter was also syncing. Its a pretty good base to set an example. The undervolt settings are the ones GB's posted on his thread.
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
Yep, and I installed GPS Status and the compas or the level bubble doesn't move. Everything was working fine in the Phoenix 3.5 ROM I previously had installed.

I just flashed back to stock JF6 and the accelerometer was working then did a master clear and reflashed the 4.01 and it still doesn't work. Weird!
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
I took a few pictures and lo and behold, the gallery is working now. That was crazy! Lol
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Even so, I'm getting the best battery I have had in quite a while with 4.0.1 and Firebird. 25% of my battery lasted a full 7 hours today under medium use, 83% display.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
you should try an OC/UV kernel and try undervolting. It really helps.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I've just tried flashing this rom, and the little android sketch filled up 1/2 way, stopped, and some sort of letter was drawing out before that froze as well. Is this normal? Should I keep waiting?
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Using it now. Seems ok so far.
[Captivate Android Development] Majortom420:
I believe you flashed the wrong ver.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I tried it once, but got some problems from it. I may try again because I couldn't isolate the issues to the UV at the time. Do you just get FC if you've gone too far?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
No usually the phone will just lock up and freeze if you go too far. Just pull battery and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
It's been about 20m now and my phone is still stuck at the bootup screen with the sketched android figure; what can I do now?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Pull the battery and restart.
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
Hi, what app do you use to undervolted the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Mostly because it already had v4 in it. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Voltage Control, which is included by default.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I did that previously, and ended up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922328

Just did it again though, we'll see where it goes; how long should I wait?

Was it a mistake on my part when flashing? Should the Serendipity .zip be on the internal sd or external, or does it not matter?
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
Serendipity.zip should be on the root of the internal. I always take my external out before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
What could be the problem, then? This is the 2nd time I've had to jig my way out of this situation. Is this a common problem?

I've been flashing with everything inside (sd, sim, etc); should i try taking it out?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I flash SIM in, EXT_SD out. Make sure you are using the correct ODIN, and try flashing a CWM Recovery update.zip instead of installing ROM Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I've been going to stock with I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe ; I pulled this from my old HD, i'll try flashing with a newer ODIN.

I remember why I had to pull the old .exe from my hd now; the ODIN link @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=odin is down.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
I only pull the SIM and external sd out when I odin, I like to live my life on the edge.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Flashed 4.0.1 a couple hours ago and its running like a champ
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
I know what you're saying. I even Odin'd with my SIM card AND my ext. SD in once.

Dum dum duuuuummmm
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

I told my friend to change his UV to -200 for every setting, thinking it would just freeze, he said it works great now and sent me a screenshot. LMFAO!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
He might not have hit "Apply for Now".
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
I'm using the paragon2 oc/ uv kernel. I've been using it since last night with no issues. I'm also using a theme from the Phoenix hq site. Its a nice blue theme. So far ice used 2 themes from the Phoenix site with no issues.

Hope this helps in any way.

The theme im using is the generation x theme and i also installed the blue themes dialer from the site.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I was just checking all my system setting making sure they were up to par and I just noticed that my voltage controls are not sticking. Is anybody else having this problem. It also makes me happy at the same time. It might mean that i'll actually have more battery life then what I posted a few pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I like to be certain I have not introduced any possibility of issues, so I always go the long way, which doesn't really add that much time....especially comared to having to reflash if there are issues:

Factory Reset

Master clear

Boot to recovery

Clear Davalcik Cache

Clear battery stats (Alway flash with 100% battery)

Odin 1 click to Stock

copy update.zip, Android.ID backup file, ROM Zip file

Continue through rest of installation

So far this has worked very well for me.

Friendly Thread!

Having just read a little bit of frosty exchanges about searching, reading for your self, etc (albeit not too unfriendly...but a bit argumentative)...

I want to say that one of the MOST ENJOYABLE things about Mikey's thread has been the tolerance of everyone for the occasional question that wasn't researched, and helpful attitude of everyone.

Please...let's keep it that way.

3.5.2

I'm still on 3.5.2, and having excellent experience. I am starting a process of trying different modems, and documenting my battery time, and other possible modem related issues, to identify best modem 'for me'. I'll post when finished. BTW...i am using stock kernel for now.

Learned about Choice Dialer earlier: excellent! Worth the purchase price. This is the closed thing I've seen to offering the same capabilities I used to experience on my WinMo phone (past tense by the way), and MS Voice Command.

Also learned from the Choice Dialer FAQs that I can get other voices (I hate the stock voice). Exploring those now. With the Choice Dialer and better voices, I'm nearing perfection with Mikey's ROM.

Donation headed your way.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
He said he did, but I don't know if he was joking or not.
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Try sgs toolbox from the market and remount the system to rw. I saw another way thru rom explorer but I can't remember what it was.

It sucks getting old.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
it is mounted as R/W. Still not sticking.
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
I wish I could remember the other way for ya. Hopefully someone else will chime in to help you.

Sorry I wasnt able to help.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Shot in the dark, but try Fix Permissions in CWM Recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I don't have CWM. I'm rocking steam.
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Ok, if you have root explorer installed you go into system/etc/init.d and change the ro/rw setting. Change it from what it is to the other setting and give that a shot.

Hope it helps
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
I forgot to mention the one issue I ran into when I changed themes. I lost the haptic feedback on the home button. The rest still work, not sure why it happened but I'm sure its way way over my head so i won't even guess.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
nope. Voltage Control just resets itself.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Hey, let me know how the different voices work. I put the voicedialer.apk in that Mikey posted, but i would pay for a better voice, 'specially a seczy English chick voice. :)
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Wow, im all out of tricks. Sorry.

What kernel are you using. I'm using the paragon 2 kernel. He has a download for it in thre first few pages. Its oc/ uv up to 1280 and seems to be running very nice with serendipity 4.01.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I'm using glitterballs' steam kernel
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Serendipity 4.0.1 is working well... much better than 2.0. I was getting constant SIM Card errors and phone problems. Now it's all better.

Personally, I modded mine like this:

Unskinned GMail, Market, Google Search bar for AOSP Gingerbread look

Speedmod kernel

Modified DeskClockGoogle to allow for "set alarm for 4 AM" voice command

Icons for Gmail, Market application install complete ---> skinned to Gingerbread

Gingerbread Launcher from Eugene (AOSP Gingerbread w/ 5 homescreens because 7 is too many for me)

Added Nexus S live wallpapers

Removed SGS Kernel flasher

With all of that ^^^, I made the ultimate Android 2.3 Gingerbread look-alike ROM out of Serendipity. Running smoothly!
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I reflashed stock, etc, etc, flashed the rom again, and it just gets completely stuck on the loading screen. I've spent all day on this (including assembling the jig) and i feel like I've wasted it. Is there a known issue or something with this ROM not working on some phones?
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Im so tired of everything looking like gingerbread, maybe its the green and yellow everywhere, im always looking for a theme to cover all that up lol
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Agreed here. I'm still running 3.5.2 and have not had one issue. This is the longest I've gone without flashing a new rom, or an update to an existing rom in a VERY long time. Thanks again Mike.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Haven't installed yet, because I'm waiting on a response from Choice Dialer about if they work only with SVOX or others too. (Their site is where I learned aobut it.)

Here's the two I'm considering now:

ONE

TWO

They both have samples to play at the seb site. They both cost $. I like number two best.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Anything that changes android.policy.jar will do that.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
Is it normal for this clockwork recovery to sit at:

"-- Installing:SDCARD:Serendipity_4.0.1.zip"

"Finding update package..."

for several minutes? .. Afraid to pull the battery..
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Pull it. That's happened to me lots of times. Boot into CWM again and try to install. If that doesn't work, you need to re-download the zip.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
This worked.. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
If anyone else wants the latest GMail and Market with Gingerbread icons, I've included them in a flashable .zip below.

Warning: These are AOSP themed... they don't have the Dark GMail and/or Market theme from Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I downloaded a new zip (figured something was wrong with the first one) and it had skipped the voodoo part and went straight to the droid; it sketched him out, did a few loops of the dots and then froze in the middle dot... I really want to install this ROM, but it's been a huge PITA for me. Has *anybody* else had these issues?
[Captivate Android Development] jung-na:
AWESOME ROM! But i have one problem. I installed the rom, by following the instructions - everything went very smooth. its now installed. but everytime i want to connect it to my pc via usb it wont let me connect... this happens to every single rom that i've flashed... no usb connection at all. i cant transfer files... ive tried downloading the drivers and everything, reinstalling them, etc., but no luck... is there any other method but the mass storage way to transfer files onto my captivate from the computer?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
The mass storage is what you want. Pull down the notification drawer and click the transfer files one.

Trying to install 1.5..

Was running Gingerborgs 7 w/ GB's kernel... got this error. Did a wipe to stock w a master clear... same error...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Don't resign it.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
(Working) ideas about this are all over xda...

- Open framework-res.apk with winrar or 7zip (Open as in file->open, don't extract anything)

- navigate to the res/drawable-hdpi-v4 or whatever folder

- drop the battery icon pngs in there replacing the original ones. You will need the icons with numbers + the charging icons if you wish to have the full set (stat_sys_battery*.png).

- exit winrar (or 7zip)

- adb push the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework

- enjoy
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
thats bln it stays on when you have an unread message you can disable it in recovery

I can't get sgs tools from the market and and I don't have a backup. LBStestmode isn't working when I dial *#*#1472365#*#* I can't even get a lock. Maps is stuck at "accurate to 5000 meters" and navigation get stuck at "getting driving directions" Also normally when I turned on gps and ran the app "speed test" it would change my server to St.Louis since its the closest to me and its not even doing that Its got me on a server in New York!!!

[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Oh yea, that's it. But how about on missed calls? Does it also lit up?

Also make sure to untick "use wireless networks" in settings->location and security
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Getting this same error when trying to update 1.0>1.5. And even trying to fresh install 1.5.

Whats up?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Your the man! That number worked. Do you think clearing gps data will help??
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
I would but I didn't have any luck flashing 1.5 straight.... had to go back to 1.0 then do the upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Now you can try lol

The first lock may take a while, though.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I took that line out of both. Redownload it.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Ok will do now.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Any chance you can tell us what you did and save us the d/l?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Mikey - any idea on how to get the ability to have seperate home screen and lock screen images? It appears to be tied to the type of Gallery app you have. This would be a great addition if possible
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I... took that line out. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Any screenshots? I want to see how it looks, if it is okay with you. :)
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Thanks Mikey on figured something like that. I can live with it with there way everything is running.

appreciate all your work. UN learning as i go.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Change the permissions on /system/etc to allow write for group+other.

Then save voltage settings.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
I tried Firebird last night with 4.0.1, but it was a disaster for me.

The new 1.28 GHz GB kernel is making me very happy :)
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Yes - works awesome for me with 4.0.1 :) Best so far.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Wait, what? Doesn't 4.0.1 come with GB V4 kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It does.

In other news, I've started work on the Battery meter. Just finished making 25 different levels of fill. Had to redraw the battery from scratch though.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
So guess what?! JPY frameworks work flawlessly with JS3. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Is JS3 anything other than a version number change?

Also, I just got my hands on a version of the Music.apk included in this ROM that works with the lock screen and notification controls.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I just have to theme the purple and the buttons and it's ready for release.
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
LOL. It's smoother than JPY, IMO. Things like the notification drawer are definitely smoother.

Nice! That outta be a quick fix.
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
Dude, you're awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
This is looking to be one of the smoothest roms that i've ever tried, but I'm having one huuuuge problem; the phone freezes on fairly often(I can't go 5 minutes without having it freeze and having to do a battery pull). Is this issue fixable?
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Having great battery life on 4.0, 4 hours of voice calls and 1ht 47min of screen time and im at 49%

im jk about 4 hours voice calls but thats what its reading! lol
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Nice job with the lock screen music controls. I'm guessing it only works with the glass lock screen?
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I'm giving disabling the lagfix a go for a bit and i'll report back on how that goes.

edit: nope, still hangs up very often. Anybody even able to wager a guess as to what's causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Sounds like bad OC/UV.
[Captivate Android Development] snapplefish:
I haven't touched that app yet, though; What would be the most stable setting?

Edit: did some reading, adjusted accordingly, this rom is now my favorite; first gps lock EVER (with a 10m accuracy indoors to boot!), lighting fast, amd looks great. Fantastic work :)
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
That looks really damn good!
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Please tell me that music player will work with Andromeda without breaking anything...lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
@snapplefish

Have you tried wiping the data and cache and the dalvik cache from within cw recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
Oh you got it working finally.. So how was it fixed? You were the only one with those issues..
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
4.1

Music Player now works with Lock Screen/Drawer controls

Added "Google GPS" fix
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
Fantastic rom

Is there a way to enable the smart alarm - the alarm that goes off 5 min before with a fading in alarm that is plesant rather than the jarring I now get in the morning :P

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The Samsung Clock app, first post.
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
What exactly is the Google GPS fix? Something on the Nexus S?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It was in someone's signature.

Serendipity IRC

Can't get enough of Serendipity? Want to talk with your peers in real time about issues, suggestions, or how awesome the ROM is?

Well MikeyMike01 has suggested I open up a general IRC channel for everyone to join in. (Your Devs have been using it to communicate and it results in faster updates for you!) We would like to welcome those that wish to join in and provide feedback.

So this all sounds great, how do I do it you ask?

1. Download your IRC client of choice. (We are using XChat)

3. Add a Server: irc.foonetic.net (Link to Server)

2. Create a username preferably one to match your XDA.

3. /join #Serendipity

4. Profit???

Look forward to hearing from the community!

Wow I have flashed tons of roms and kernels searching for "the one" and I do believe this is it. I am using znpk1 modem or whatever its called and am getting great battery life. This rom/kernel flys and feels solid. Great work!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Does it have that awesome little battery meter too? I'm going to flash this afternoon :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:

Email and Circle Battery Mod...

I've tried adding in both of these app's (Email and Battery Mod V5) and it just won't take. I ried dragging the zip and installing thru Steam and it aborts with a (Status2) code, whatever that is.....

I've tried side loading, no go. I know I could extract the zips and putt in system/app/ but I can't seem to do it right,

Any idea what's going on?
