On stock 2.1, I was getting 50hr+ battery life with it. Either way, with it on or off, my wifi stays on even with 15 minutes passing.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
How is it bad for the battery to have wifi and 3G turned off or is juice defender doing something else?

WOW! I get instant WI-FI on and off

same here.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Seriously? I've always had to wait quite a bit. I don't know the exact time as I haven't tested myself, but I read many places it is 15 minutes. After 5 hours I could have my wifi running and on times the exact same or within half an hour of each other.

I even installed a program once to turn it off after 5 minutes.

Edit: Maybe that's a good thing for me as I am always on Google Talk and it doesn't handle the switch from wifi to network and back well at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Dino.:
Great rom! The fugu tweaks really do make a big difference!

Haven't tested battery yet, but have a question...

Is it possible to add the Samsung Mobile Tracker parts to the Add-on list so it wont just FC? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] cc2ee:
also, is there any way to get an option to remove the clock from the notification bar? It seems so redundant and takes space away from legitimate notifications. As it is now, mine always group together because certain programs keep an icon running all the time.

Actually, I'm noticing some weird symptoms. I can't determine if this only happens while plugged in (because it hasn't happened while the phone was off the charger...yet), but my phone will randomly vibrate as if it received a message. It's not like a force-close vibration, it's a pretty standard notification vibration, but I don't get any notifications/texts/calls/etc. This even happened one time while the phone was turning off (no, not that final vibration before the phone is completely off, this happened during the shutdown animation).

I can't even determine if this is an actual problem (am I not getting my texts? :eek:) or just a random occurrence, should I be concerned?
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Did you get the link?

If not, here it is and there are 2 to choose from. One removes the clock completely and the other moves it into the notification drawer.

Enjoy!

Any luck with getting aosp messaging to turn on the display or is that a lost cause? The only thing keeping this from being perfect for me. Another solution (for me anyway) would be a themed samsung Mms in red and white instead of green and orange to match redrom. Just some suggestions thanks again for an awesome rom.
[Captivate Android Development] cc2ee:
I didn't think that was officially verified or supported by the ROM developers. I was hoping for something official in the kitchen. I'll try it out though cause I hate that clock! lol

Seems like 6 is creating a lot of problems for gps. Chance, which files would I want to pull to revert the gps back to 5? I used to get locks in seconds. Only works now if I flash plumb bob. If I restart the phone seems like I have to reflash plumb bob to see any sats. What was the reason for changing it? Just curious. A flashable zip with the old files would rock.

Unplugged charger this morning at 9:00 (100% registered). Serendipity 6.2, default kernel and modem.

Amazing.

Sorry. I'll try to rephrase.

I had a 09 build, had to warranty because of the home button pressing itself. I received a 1007 build phone, and when I try to charge it it stays at about 5% and never goes up. However, when I switch the battery back to my 09 phone, it says it is around 55%.

And it came from ATT with 2.2 installed, I finally rooted and now I can't get cwr to work. (Is there a check for 2.2 or 3e recovery?)

Cool. That would be great.

My first issues (Don't expect many)

I am tring to set up text to speech. In Settings/Voice Input and Output/Text to Speech Settings, when I click on Install voice data, nothing happens. And as result, I seem unable to play text to speech commands from Tasker.

The other is, I'm seeing the H for data active a bit even though I am on WiFi. Don't recollect seeing that before. NOTE: I noticed this while trying to bring up NAV, per next paragraph.

Last item for now: Trying to hook to Sat (inside as I've done on Assonance), and even though the SAT appears to lock (based on looking at the ICON), it keeps the message "Checking navigation availability" up and never seems to go to the app.

Heading to bed now. Will troubleshoot more tomorrow.

But I do love what I'm seeing so far. I'm sure these little issues will be worked out.

Exit the navigation app, then open maps and get a sat lock. Once you get a lock with maps restart navigation and that message will disappear. Make sure navigation totally stopped when you exit it.

I said I was going to bed...but had to look in here again.

That cleared that up.

But now, I seem to have the same behavior with the message "Getting driving directions". So, I hit BACK, and then went in again, and got an FC on maps. My version of maps is 5.0.0 (#5014).

Interesting...I've never had this type of issues before. Must be specific to 2.2.1

Ok. Off to bed this time.

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
This ROM is using the jl3 modem which has been the best for me with regard to GPS, but you might try a different one. When I have had trouble getting locks in the past I would start lbstestmode, clear data, hit application settings and change the accuracy to 250 then run the get position test. For whatever reason, that would give me much faster locks, but it didn't actually seem to affect the accuracy. After getting a lock in lbstestmode I could exit and get locks in my GPS apps.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
couple things so far. I can't seem to get the voicemail notification to disappear.

Also, I enabled steam recovery. earlier i put the max voltage to 1k. enabled the recommended lag fix in steam.

Now when I run voltage control it says that there is no root on my system, or it hasn't allowed it to run with root permissions.

I "forgot" voltage control in superuser and it still wont allow me to obtain root permissions in voltage. It doesn't even recognize the super user

EDIT: Tried another app, and no such luck. When i did the recommended lagfix in steam, it got rid of my root.

For some odd reason, i do not see the debugging come on when i connect via usb even though i've checked it on through settings... is it just me?

[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
For your problems with /system, could it be related to the fact that Voodoo converts it to ext4? I seem to have issues mounting it as R/W with most voodoo ROMs.

I tried the Gingerborg ROM (or whatever it was called), and it didn't have a problem mounting as R/W, and I don't think it uses any lagfix...I could be wrong though.

MM disabled the debug notification. Lockscreen wallpaper is a known issue. Not sure if it is being addressed or not.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
The ROM comes with GB's kernel and Steam has a recovery type tool. IF you want to flash speed just use the supplied Kerenel flasher in the ROM, make sure to make a back up just in case. Load your Kernel and use the Kernel Flasher to flash

i want to flash VA theme to apply the quadlock option but i don't know if i will like the icons...i really like MM theme...i really just want to add the quadlock....how would i back up this theme to flash back if i couldn't bear the VA theme?...thanks
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
The Steam kernel isn't used by default. Just flash SpeedMod like anything else.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
All you would need to back up is the framework, twframework and android.policy.jar. But, you could also retain the icons you like and put them in the theme you choose if you like. Just be sure that if your wifi has 5 bars now and 4 on the stock settings that you don't touch that as it will not work. Each set of icons has to have an equivalent in the opposing framework.

Hope this helps
[Captivate Android Development] rawb123456:
Thanks adam. So your saying I can save the recommended files and replace then after the theme flash to replace the VA theme icons? Or are the icons located somewhere else?
