Oh nooo, android locked up on me while the phone was in standby within about an hour after flashing to 4.1(Had to pull the battery) using the upgrade package..

Further testing to be done.
[Captivate Android Development] dtrainmcclain:
Total noob question. This was my first flash and I didn't see the optional installs for the samsung Email program before I did it. Can someone give me a quick step by step on how to update the rom with this program included, please?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Use a file manager and copy it to system/app
[Captivate Android Development] dtrainmcclain:
Sorry in advance. Need a little hand holding. Do I need to copy it to the system/app folder in the zip file, then re-flash the phone, or can I insert them into the currently running rom.

Sorry, I'm sure these are stupid questions.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
You can push it straight to the live filesystem.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
Can I use the Steam recovery to flash the 4.0.1 - 4.1 update?

Also, if I wanted to include the Samsung SMS app, could I just drop that into the upgrade package or would that mess things up?

Thanks for helping me out, I'm still kind of new to this stuff.

Wallpaper: Android Evolved

Here's a fun little wallpaper I put together in between flashes.

Edit: Added another one that I actually spent time on.
[Captivate Android Development] x3nhydr4lutr1sx:
That's what Steam recovery is for.

you can do it both ways, but they're both slightly icky.

you can insert it into the zip file, and then re-sign the zip file using the zip signer (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-development/126517-pc-ppcgeeks-android-apk-zip-signer.html), then flash it with Rom manager or CWM. Or you can not sign it with the zip signer, go to recovery mode, toggle authentication off or something like that, and then install the .zip file.

or you can toggle system R/W using recovery mode (I think it's under advanced CWM options or something, search around), and then use your favorite root explorer (ASTRO, or Super Manager, or Root Explorer) and once you copied the apps to your sd card, copy the apps from sd card to /system/app/
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
Thank you very much x3nhydr4lutr1sx.

I think I may tackle that in the future. You were incredibly informative.

Has anyone tried to do any updates with the Steam recovery? I try to install the update but when I get to the confirmation screen, there is no "yes" entry to select, just a bunch of no's.

Any help here?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Steam has a scrolling ability so scroll down using the touch screen and you will find a yes...
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
Found it. Silly me :\

Still kicking battery ass over here.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
That seems like it's mostly standby. You need more display for that to be credible.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
This is true, but even this morning using it actively the battery drain was very minor. Definitely can't complain. Display has been going down since about 5, haven't had any texts or calls since then.

[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I actually plan on trying Firebird 2. I hear good things about it. DG's makes some good quality stuff. I used to use Perception before i switched to Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yes, 7zip is not Windows-only.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Same here, kept getting weird FC issues and switched over. Haven't had any problems with this setup yet.
[Captivate Android Development] josht999:
k so i have had this rom for about a week or two and love it. after i updated to 4.0.1 when i accessed my market it says that my phone may not be compatible... can someone explain this to me or show me how to fix it. i can still download some stuff from it if i use another app like appsfire to bring me to the market and download it that way. i was just curious if this has happened before or what. thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Try downloading SGS Tools and use the market the update.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Very solid rom. No issues at all.
[Captivate Android Development] mrflips:
Just flashed 4.1 from 3.5, and the GPS seems even better. 12/12 satellites with a 5 meter lock that holds in seconds. I am loving this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] sam_milby:
Hey guys I really like this rom I've been running this ROM since it was 3.0. It is very smooth and fast but today I did a clean flash to the new 4.1 and I am having an issues. For some reason when I hold the power button it does not bring up the power screen all it does is vibrate then go black and back to the boot up screen. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Spent some more time on the battery mod.

Also, there's about 6 people in the IRC right now, which is nice to see.

Flashing Question

Coming from Perceptions 10.1 which includes Voodoo lagfix, do I NEED to flash to stock before flashing Serendipity?

Also, I really don't want to play around with voltage controls or lagfix options. Will flashing As-Is be sufficiently fast and stable? Sometimes too many options are just too many options :)

Thanks Again Mikey - I've been waiting for your next installment...
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Just that one line from the update-script?

Thanks... didn't know what that info was stored.
[Captivate Android Development] beatfreak713:
Same problem here.

First tried flashing straight from Doc's/Borgs v7 (after disabling Voodoo). Failed. Then tried to flash after one-click to stock. Same error. Then, one-click -> master clear. Same error.

OP should probably check his upload of the full 1.5 version, I think it's either corrupted or packed incorrectly. I don't really know enough about install scripts and symlinks to debug this. Otherwise I'd be more than happy to help.

Has anyone had success installing the full 1.5 version? For now, I'm going to push 1.0 to phone and try that.

Edit: Redownloading now. Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Update on the GPS, I cleared gps data in lbstestmode, then ran a position test and let it sit for about four-six minutes and eventually got 8 sats with 5-15 meter accuracy the whole time. Just had to let it sit for awhile I haven't tried maps or nav yet again though.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You can try it. If it explodes and causes nuclear fallout, then go back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I already reuploaded it.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I came straight from perception 10 and all I did was disable lagfix and flash and everything went smooth. It runs awesome straight out of the box the only reason I change voltage settings is to save some battery. The lagfix enables on boot so that doesn't require any effort either.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Any word on this? talk about a seperator!!
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Will /etc folder be in /system even if I use a lagfix that keeps s=rfs?

It may be symlinked or whatever its called but it isn't working the same. It doesn't execute the voltage script on bootup is one thing
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
You shouldn't ever need to flash to stock unless something went horribly wrong along the way. I flashed over docs which I flashed over something else which flashed over something else, etc., etc. keep going for, oh, 30 ROM installs or so (or more). I don't ever go back to stock and I don't bother disabling lagfix so long as the kernel I'm flashing works with my ext4 w/no rfs scheme. On the other hand, if you have no worries with using Odin and you know which package to use so as to not hose your download mode buttons then feel free, but don't feel like you have to.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I would get 9-11 sats of 11 in GPS test. But Google Nav no workee, and CoPilot would lock up.
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Thanks. Glad to contribute! :)
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
I'm seeing some of the issues that others are seeing now. Basically i disabled my lagfix so that I could try another kernel. Apparently though during the process my root was lost and now when I try to get root I get the same errors that a couple people posted above me. So i'm sorta stuck now, can't get back to the old kernel because I'm not rooted and can't get root because steam is bugging out.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I always test mine outdoors (it will lock indoors, but it's slower). The couple of times I've tested with the ROM I've gotten 9-12 sats with 5-10 meter accuracy. Locking generally takes from 3 - 8 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] beatfreak713:
Thanks for the quick fix Mike. Worked perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Just installed 1.5, added a couple of my personal touches... (Glass Dialer, R64 theme, and Comforta font)

This rom is AMAZING!!

Everything seems to be working perfectly, awesome job!

[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
r u guys changing the GPS settings to suple.google.com 7276?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You don't have to disable the lagfix to flash a kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
In steam you can reinstall superuser, that worked for me. I can't remember the exact menus right now but remember to scroll down when in steam to see the additional menu options.

On another note:

I am having issues with the Steam kernal still. It caught in a loop while converting /system to EXT4. It would scroll a bunch of stuff, vibrate twice and keep doing this for over 20 minutes. I battery pulled and it booted fine and worked for about 10 minutes of testing GPS, call, etc. I then decided to remove the lagfix so I rebooted to steam, configured it to remove the lagfix and rebooted. I walked away and when I came back it had a kernal panic error. I know Steam is very young so I expect these glitches but where should we be reporting them?
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/fat.format

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Same here and this is almost entirely standby, but it is the best standby I have ever seen! Wifi and BT on all the time. And this is with backlight notifications on although I did not receive any notifications. There were people claiming that even if they had BLN off, just the fact that it was an option in the kernel, was causing battery drain. I am not seeing that.
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
A problem I've been having, both on 3.5.3, and now 4.0.1, is that sometimes the phone gets stuck in landscape mode. I can have the phone sitting straight up and it still thinks it's in landscape mode. Disabling the tilt feature through the pull-down menu fixes this, but if I re-enable the tilt feature, it snaps right back to landscape mode.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
Wow. 4% in 7 hours with Wifi on!? THAT'S INSANE! O_O

Vibrate issues

I flashed to 4.1 and have had this issue with 4.01 also. For some reason when i get a text the vibrate doesnt work and the screen doesnt light up. Can someone help me rectify this please.

And yes i have it set to vibrate always in settngs
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Agreed. Switching to the FireBird kernel made a huge difference!

Has there been a fix for the browser yet? My browser keeps freezing on certain sites.

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
It seems Firebird kernel isn't just great for me. It would be great to determine what exactly makes it so efficient, and see if the same magic can be added to an OC/UV capable kernel, or just make Firebird OC/UV capable.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
DG mentioned working on a oc/uv version. I think GB is making improvements to his as well, including a 1200 version. If both become reality they both should be very good.
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
ChanceM, I applied battery mod v5 gingerbread and it does change the battery icon but it removes the green background from the lockscreen music player. Not a big deal, just letting you know.

Email App

Can someone please tell me how to attach documents, audio and other files to an email in the email app? When I click 'Attach', the app goes to the picture and video 'Gallery' instead of giving the user a choice to choose between 'Gallery' and 'My Files' folder, like in some other roms. How can I choose to go the the 'My Files' folder once I click attach?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Firebird has voodoo sound too.
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
SpeedMod is good but I've gotten so used to the oc that I cannot go back to 1000.

Gb should be bringing voodoo sound 2 soon so I look forward to the best of both worlds.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
What does the voodoo sound do?
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Voodoo sound makes music sound exquisite.

Also, how do I get the battery meter % to show ALL the time, not just when its fully charged?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Mikey, have you considered entering the kernel arena?
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
There is a battery mod linked on the first page. However, it breaks the music lock screen green background in 4.1
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
My camera displays the low battery warning and closes whenever it has, well, low battery. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I heard that voodoo sound will make seemingly "okay" mp3s sound like trash just bcuz of the quality of the music. Like the sound will be soooo good it will bring out the imperfections of the download, so to speak.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Yup. Garbage in, garbage out. It shines with high quality recordings.
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
I really love the notification dropdown of this rom, how it mimics the TouchWiz with the PowerWidget incoporated into the Framework...Its the only non AOSP thing I want on my Gingerclone Rom.

Is it possible to just take the Framework.apk of this rom and switch it out of the Gingerclone rom, just a simple copy and paste with Root Explorer? Or does it run deeper then that?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Frameworks of the two roms are completely different. You would have to decompile the tw-framework and go into the drawable hdpi folder inside the res folder and then swap the notification images. (not sure what they are called but I know they are in tw-framework.res) Don't copy and paste the whole framework or you will get many many force closes.
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
Wonderful!

This is Serendipity!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:

[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
It does not as far as I know.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't even care about the music playing. What I care about is the video recording in Camera. Let me demonstrate.

[YOUTUBE]vd2w51mIOlE[/YOUTUBE]
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's part of the kernel. Just use speedmod, and download it off the market.

Seriously considering switching the default kernel to speedmod and kicking Voltage Control for the Voodoo Sound app.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Can they not exist together? Or does VC only work with one kind of kernel, and VS with another? Sorry, just trying to learn.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I think gb is working on a new kernel with both. May come this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well it COULD work together. But speedmod is not an OC/UV kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Mikey, which one are you seeing better battery life with?? The oc/uv kernel or speedmod?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I have to say, my battery is getting chewed up and spit out by 4.1. And I'm really not doing anything with it, it'll just sit there and drain. I started out at 100% at 8 am, and just sitting in my purse at 11:40 it was down to 67%.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't even care... I finally have a video camera!
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Try Firebird. I got literally double the performance out of my battery with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Try a different purse.
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
Wifi really eats your battery when phone is idle. Make sure you have wifi configured to disable when phone is in sleep mode. You can do it through wifi advanced settings. It really helps.

Edit: or try a different purse as stated above :)

[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Yeah. Forgot to do that after my most recent flash and I was wondering why the battery wasn't lasting as long as with the previous Serendipity ROM. Disabling WiFi when phone is in sleep mode does make a noticeable difference.

Hello can someone please let me know how i can switch to speedmod kernel.

Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
Might have found a bug:

1. Browse to a video file on your phone, or stream it from the web

2. Use the default "Movies" application to open it

3. The video plays

4. Hit pause

5. Leave the device idle long enough for the screen to turn off

6. Hit the power button to turn the screen back on

7. You'll be presented with the lock screen, swipe or whatever to get passed the lock screen.

8. You'll now be dropped off at a black screen without any of the movie player UI available.

9. Hit the home button to get out of it.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
Go to speedmod thread. Download the CWM version and flash through CWM recovery. That's what I did. Very easy.

[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Mikey, amazing ROM. Been using it since the first version and I love it. Fast, simple and beautiful to look at (I love the gingerbread stuff :) )

Just a quick issue. I tried to search the thread for an answer but couldn't find one.

When I get a voicemail when the phone is turned on, it makes the notification sound that I set in settings--sound. That works fine. Now, if I leave the voicemail untouched and reboot the phone, on boot I get this really annoying phone ringing sound that won't go away until I bring down the notifications. The only thing that pops up is media scanning and the voice mail message under notifications so it's the only thing I can think of. Anyone else seeing this?
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
I sorta figured it wouldn't be that easy.. but just thought I'd ask. The more and more I follow this rom.. the more I'm tempted to switch to it from Gingerclone. My only hesitation is that it updates so frequently.. I'd rather just wait until its final.

Thanks for your help again silverslotcar.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Which Speedmod kernel should we use, the Captivate version, or the I9000 version? I am confused, because the ROM is based on the I9000 version, isn't it?
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Just followed the steps exactly and my phone unlocked back to the video just where I left it and was able to continue playing.

Edit: Tried it a few more times, screen was black when it came back but tapping on the screen brought the controls back up and was able to play but from the beginning and not where I paused it.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
The captivate version. Is what you need to make sure things properly orientate on your phone.

Thanks for trying to confirm this, gonna test it some more myself.

Edit: Must have been just a weird anomaly, I'm able to get the UI controls to pop up every time now.. but the black screen issue is still there, and it does indeed start the video over again.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I can but it doesn't automatically fetch it. You have to download it and put it on your SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
You still need to download your kernel zip yourself... Then you can load it and flash with SGS
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Well you just need to download it, then extract the .tar from the .zip. Astro can handle it all. ;)
