Wow. That's a lot of messages to restore! I have mine set to limit to the top 100. Since it's all in Gmail anyway it's easy to search if I need something older. There could be an issue with the app when it gets above 2k or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Seems okay to me. I'm using it right now and somehow it runs smoothly..
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Nah, I think I'll wait for 1.6.

Thanks Mikey :-)
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
You could do what I do and not have to worry about root explorer: I unzip the ROM to a folder, add the apks I want to the system/app folder, make a new zip and flash. Much easier (to me) than adding them individually later.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's an update that takes two seconds and won't change anything else. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Okay, its the notification. I checked in ADB just to be absolutely sure. Thanks for the quick response, I must have missed that in the change log.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I couldn't count how many times I wanted to mount the SD card and hit that thing. Spent a little time searching and found a thread in the EVO forum on how to do it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
*sniffles* It's...it's just so beautiful. And it's a GB-themed ROM that doesn't tug at my OCD tendencies. Haha.

Another donation is in order later on. Nice work Mikey.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
If you figure it out let me know. I ran into the same issue. I wanted to give it a try too. It could be something as silly as our phone's batch number(1007rev4). Just thowing something out there.
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
thanks for the screenshots. they really help
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
I was having some lagfix issues too and I flashed to stock prior to installing this ROM. WiFi wasn't staying on after reboot and launcher pro refused to install from market or TiBu with either kernal included. It seems to be /system issues so I reverted to the default kernal, disabled voodoo via disable-lagfix and then settings were sticking. I then flashed the Steam kernel and programs are no longer allowed to access superuser. The busybox installer app now says busybox is not found and can't install with an error "your device is either not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount"

I also don't see any lagfix options in the Steam recovery program and I thought there should be some.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
So Mikey taking out that debugging notification was what you did that no one else has ever done?!? :p

EDIT: to our cappys that is.. (joking)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
They're there, look around.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
What kernel are/were you on prior to flashing? Some mount ext4 partitions as j4fs in recovery. Did you flash back to stock like the OP says, or at the very least remove your lagfix?!
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Hey Mike

What do you have your UV setting as?
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
Thanks cant wait til its uploaded! Is it going to be right below OP? I am currently ext 4 system using speedmod so do I need to disable lagfixes or just flash over using odin while in download mode!!
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Posted them in the first few pages last night.

[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
mikey.. i clear wiped.. hopefully this will resolve speed issues..
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I just got the "steamy froyo" tag.

Clever. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Went back to the Steam kernel to test a bit more (love the boot log instead of animation option). Lagfix is on (I don't see why this should matter; it doesn't with any other kernel, including the non-steam GB kernels.). I tried installing several themes and one bootanimation (all CWM installable). All fail.

What I did:

Install zip from sdcard...

Choose zip from sdcard

Navigate to the folder where I have some themes

Click one

Scroll down and hit Yes - Install <whatever.zip>

Log:

I tried renaming themes to short names with no spaces or non alphanumeric characters. When that failed I moved the themes to to root of the sdcard. Still fails.
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
You could've warned us that it talks during the initial boot, I about dropped it when it started speaking! :eek:

Other than that, a few hiccups during install. I got stuck in the "Finding Update Package..." screen and had to recopy it to the SD card, after that though the install was smooth sailing.

I was running the xcaliburn 2.2 rom previously, so I will edit my post with my feedback as I restore everything.

So far, though - looks good. I hope this fixes my GPS and Wifi issues I was having with that rom.

EDIT: Ok, well spoke too soon - got the launcher force close error, chose reboot and its stuck on the Android crayon screen.. pulled the battery and did a hard reset - seems to be fixed now.

Just have to get used to it! Was really used to ADW launcher, this is different :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
lol, IMMD.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Open TiBu, hit problems, then hit yes, do it. Should fix your problem.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
My new favorite rom. Its got the speed from perception and the beauty of phoenix.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Your theme and customizations are very much in line with what I like Mikey. Nice ROM. Would be great to get a XWJS3 version of this ROM... supposedly fixes a few small problems with JPY (like supposedly a smoother notification bar).
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Agreed except the beauty is better than Phoenix... I can actually read the text in the dropdown notification bar without black text on black background for certain things like downloads in progress. That was so annoying in others I tried like Phoenix and Axura.
[Captivate Android Development] jamina1:
Editing Launcher bar & home screens

So it defaults to 7 empty home screens, and I can't figure out how to remove some of them that I don't plan to use (I'm not familiar with this launcher at all)

Help?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I don't think you can edit that. You could use LauncherPro instead so you can customize how many homescreens you want.

Battery Life??

Mikey or anyone experienced with flashing many roms and have had some experience with others. I am leaving Phoenix to test the waters And i want to try either this Rom or Paragon. How is the battery life, i ask someone with experience becasue thier opinion of batter life will be a lot more factual to go on and also will be a more comparitive to others. I know that Paragon states its got incredible battery life but i would more so like to try serendipity as i have excellent thigns. I just havnt seem to get anyhting better than 8-10 percent per hour on extremly light usuage. So please anyone feel free to give me feed back on battery life.

thanks so much in advance
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
honestly everyones experience with battery is gonna vary...I can tell you I have ran most roms (not paragon) and this rom combined with speedmod kernel and jk4 modem has given me the best battery of all of them... I never have much luck with GBs kernel but some people swear by it so that shows you how different experiences are gonna be...
[Captivate Android Development] chrism0483:
Ok so you switched the kernel. I have used Speedmods kernel (n) to be specific. and def liked it. But not enough to see battery life. Now obviously it isnt OC/OV but is there a noticible difference between GB and Speedmods kernel . I dont really go by linpack and benchmark scores. but it does sub consciously sway your mind. So whats your opinion , is the speed enough that its comparable. I def need a good battery life Rom so i will flash this with your recommendation using speed mod. But want to know will i loose fluidness and speed
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
I'm a heavy user and this rom with speedmods is great compared to stock. I dont have any other experiance with other roms. If I dont touch my phone I may drop one percent in an hour.

Question: Everytime I try to move an app to sd it says no space available does is this because I dont have an exSD or is there an option I must click so it can go to my internal?
[Captivate Android Development] unleashed12:
hey guys ive never flashed a diff kernel on top of a rom, you guys in the past few posts say speedmod is a good kernel for battery..so can i just flash the speedmod kernel on top of this rom through CWM and it will be fine?..

thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Battery is not AS important to me because I have access to a charger pretty much all the time. As far as speed I have never ran a benchmark I always base speed on feel and there is not enough difference performance wise to make me second guess it. I never see much lag or slowdown at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You can either download the clockwork version and do it that way or the .tar file and flash it with the sgs kernel flashing app...whichever way makes you more comfortable...
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I can confirm Speedmod kernel works well with this ROM. Download SGS Kernel flasher from market (free), place the kernel on your phone, run SGS Kernel flasher, backup existing kernel, then flash new one. Works great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
As long as it's in a flashable .zip file yes. I believe speedmod's kernal topic has a file that says "cwm flashable" or something along those lines.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Yes, use the CWM one.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You could also flash speedmod with SGS Kernel Flasher.

Battery mod

Who knows how to change the battery icon to show percentage. i havnt flashed a rom yet that doesnt have a percentage number in the batt icon. Please help me out hange this. would be really nice

[Captivate Android Development] chrism0483:
Sorry mikey. I must of missed it i promise i read before i ask lol. But seeing as i got you here. This whole steam recovery business is there an app needed. or when i flash into recovery the touch screen steam recovery happens? i just thought it was an app and dont see here.

I had to take the jump to either serendipity or Paragon from phoenix. i was gettin really tired of it. i dont know what it was but the whole atmosphere there was killling me and the rom just wasnt cutting it anymore. i hope to be aloyal follower from here on out.
[Captivate Android Development] gergregg:
Links on the first page. If it is the .zip simply put it in the root of the phone and reboot recovery, install .zip, reboot

nevermind once i did the fe flash of kernel it came up. thanks mikey like i said i hope this rom deters me from every going back to phoenix
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Sounds like a really bad dream :) Anyway, people in this thread seem pretty helpful so I hope you have a better experience. I am pretty happy with this ROM so far.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Now this is the way I want it. As close to AOSP as possible.

The only thing that would make this better is if the notification toggles were to vanish.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
I'd vote highly against that. Very highly. Possibly violently.
[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
I hope Mikey change toggle bar back to gtg465x's one. And system fonts ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I switched to JL3 modem, and battery is back on track. At least double the battery life.

Can newer versions of SpeedMod kernel be flashed over this without removing lagfix, etc?

Also, please, keep the current toggle bar. It's simple, elegant, and otherwise perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I flashed Speedmod without removing lagfix and it's working great.

Used SGS Kernal Flasher.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Jk4 is a little power hungry. Mikey switched from jl3 because of sim card errors with airplane mode. Did you give jl2 a shot?
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I just got fc on the phone from a lock screen on an incoming call. 3.5.2, gb kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
+1 on getting Reject List working :)
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
I like it too. Though I would add a Lock icon (to turn off the screen).
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you don't make a logcat, nothing can be done about anything.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
I'm about to grab my gf's POS phone(getting her a captivate soon) and see if I can get a log of the FC.

P.S. Mikey, 5A994951CG1675354
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Did about 30 calls and couldn't reproduce the fc issue, ugh.
[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
One of prior posts says it seems happen after five min the phone turn to sleep mode.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I'm going to try that.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Alright, I'll try that. Just restarted it, too to see if it makes any difference. Anybody else have any tricks I should try?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I'm not sure what I did but my data speed is like slow, very slow. I tried speedtest a while ago and the dl and upload speed is .12 mb. Seriously. I'm using jl2 moden but I also tried jk4 but nothing changed.

Hey is the speedmod kernel thread gone or am I just blind...? Also, can anyone confirm if any other kernels play nice with this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Stupid question, but how's reception? Do you have hsu/dpa enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Did 6 mins in sleep, called, rang fine. I just realized I switched to jl3, though... Changing back to jk4 now and trying again.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:

Sent you a PM. I got a logcat with the FC on inbound call from lock screen.

I look forward to getting that file to you.

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I use Airplane mode maybe once a quarter, so I've never even experienced the issue. I can reboot if that's all it does. How does JL2 compare speed and battery wise for you?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Reception's fine. I got 2-3 bars with hsdpa and hsupa enabled. Before while I was on stock I usually get 2mbps. Wondering right now what happened..

[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
been using 3.5.3 all day and like always its amazing.

no matter what I always end up going back to a MikeyMike rom after going out and testing the waters. I was on Cog3 for a day or so and got fed up with it and came back to the stability speed and general gnarness of serendipity. I've said it many times before and I'm sure I'll say it many more, thanks for another exceptional rom Mikey.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
:cool:10charearararar
[Captivate Android Development] david717:
I'm still back on 2.0.

It's not bad that I'm itching to update so much that I'll be staying up awhile longer just see if a fix for that FC issue comes out, is it? ;)

Great job Mikey, Serendipity is great. Thanks!

Hey Mikey or anyone who can help. After flashing speesmod kernel I can finally say my battery life is great. The question is. If I want to flash generation x or cosmos them or any jpy compliant theme. How will this effect the battery life. Is it noticeable and u don't suggest it if battery life is important. Or does it have lil or no effect when flashing a theme like those

Thanks in advance guys
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Okay Mikey it is done.

JPY Dialer - Video Calling = Awsomeness!

+ DialerTabActivity.apk - Blue text = 2:30 AM (Time to go to sleep)

DialerTabActivity.apk is ready for your magic Photoshop theme'n!

Also Changed the Phone Icon in the app drawer to a nice green one.
[Captivate Android Development] ixiamen:
Hi ChanceM, How to get it? Please, I need one. Being troubled by this issue!
[Captivate Android Development] absolutechaos92:
Please help, whats a phone if I can't make calls.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Please delete.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Sorry I can't offer much. You may want to provide a few more details, such as if you get errors, if so what are they, etc.

I've seen posts at different times where people don't get to the network, and have to configure the APN. Not sure if that is your issue or not. Searh for that.

Ultimately you may need to reload the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I hope you selpt well, you deserve it!

Is there another update imminent? I need to reflash (my screw up) so I'll hold off a bit if there's something in the offing soon :)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Hey Mikey I just wanted to say thanks for all of the hard work you put into this ROM. I find that you have the most complete theme of any ROM that I have previously used.

P.S I hope your taking note of these things so you can do it again if you ever decide to change the base.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
start with a reflash
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
My favorite new rom and steam is all eye candy, hopefully it will improve to serve fully functional with flashing from recovery in the future.

I get an FC on first boot with both 3.52 and 3.53 with launcher, but gone after a reboot. No big deal, runs great afterwards.

Gingerborg Edition
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
My phone seems to keep soft resetting. I think thats what its doing. It starts up and then my phone vibs like its doing FC and then it like goes back to the android logo and then a few seconds later it does it all over again.

This all began after i went to change the Unlock Screen from the android to Epic. Any way to stop it from doing this or is my only way to just reinstall. Im on 3.0 btw
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
While the subject of the dialer is up, any chance we could change that ugly green or orange color fade to something else more appealing? Color fades don't look so perfect on Super-AMOLED. Y'know, if you get bored or something :)
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Appreciate the hard work Mikey and ChanceM. You guys rock.
[Captivate Android Development] gtsullivan:
To Mike and ChanceM and info to others:

I know you have indicated you are on the track to remove the remainder of Video calling as a possible solution to the FC on inbound calls while in lock/standby.

After sending the logcat of the FC on inbound call while in lock/standby to Mike, I noted that I can get more failures if the inbound number is "unknown" (not in contacts). It is also much more likely to happen after a cache partition wipe and Dalvik cache wipe.

Hope the info is useful. If not, I will stop collecting further info on this particular issue.

Regards to all,

G
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
I'm not seeing what you're seeing....I don't see a color fade on my dialer buttons or anywhere else in the dialer at all. I am running 3.5.2 though. I'm not sure if that changed in 3.5.3.

At this point, Serendipity has been a blessing to my Captivate. I love everything about it. The only thing I'm noticing is a little more of a battery drain than stock JH7, but that I can live with. Thank you for your hard work on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
It may not be part of the dialer, but it is part of the phone.

Sent from my Android using the power of my dreams.
[Captivate Android Development] absolutechaos92:
I did that and then I flash Cognition, Im not sure whats going on.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I eliminated the battery drain by switching back to JL3 modem. I never use flight mode, so I don't even know if I would get the SIM bug, and either way, I believe a reboot puts it right.
[Captivate Android Development] jojorios:
Finally got TiBu running fine. I had to install it before I installed Steam Recovery. Not sure why it screwed it up.

Loving the rom so far. I have a few questions though:

1) Under development in settings there used to be an option to keep the device awake while it was connected via USB. That option has since dissappeared. I haven't been able to find it. Anyone know where it is?

2) I am installing the email apk in the first post but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything, there is no default email program?

3) I currently use Meebo as my instant messenger program but it seems that if I leave it idle for a while, it will log me off. I didn't have this problem in 2.1 so I'm assuming it's a 2.2 task management issue. Is there a way to force 2.2 to NOT kill a task if idle?
[Captivate Android Development] absolutechaos92:
Can someone please help me, I would really appreciate it.

I tried reflashing once, and my sim card still isn't recognize. I followed directions and didn't flash with the sim in the phone. Please help.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
Stay awake is gone, get the free app from the market.

There is no email apk by default.
