Has any one done the the 6.1 to 6.2 update? For some reason after I do the update my phone does not want to detect the sim card. Wiping and going back to stock and 6.1 everything works great.

I did a fresh 6.0, update to 6.1, update to 6.2. No problems a couple boots didn't fix.

TI Backup Pro Issue

I am facing a weird issue, every time I try installing the pro version, it never finishes installation, it would never show up, tried the free version and that installs properly... any one else
[Captivate Android Development] SSJ_Gomike:
With Tibu you can back up any 3rd party apps of course, but you can also back up any system data that shows in "green". This includes your sms/mms messages, email accounts and wifi settings.

Great Battery

I too am pleased to report excellent battery life as soon as I flashed 6.0- so much so that I thought it was a fluke and wanted monitor it for one more day before mentioning it here.

Great work guys!

6.2 REDROM w/Kitchen mods

Untouched kernel/modem

People's experiences may vary but my battery life is much improved over the 5.xx versions.

[Captivate Android Development] Tralerprktrash:
this rom is amazing....blazing fast. not sure about battery life though... seems to be drain more than stock for me.... im at 91% after going on a full charge about an hour ago. Light usage setting up the basics...we'll see how it goes.

overnight it drained around 7% from 12AM to 9AM

You can use an app in the market.

Sms backup and restore.

I've used it countless times, and it works 100% of the time.

My friend backed up hers when I had to upgrade her rom. She had like 10k text messages, from when she first got her phone. It backed them all up (took some time, maybe 20-30 mins to backup and restore) but they were all there.

She even got a text during the restore process and it didn't mess it up at all. Just when it finished the new message was at the top like it should be.

[Captivate Android Development] Krooked22:
I flashed UGK2 but is their anything sigificantly better?
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
If you really want the battery to stay at 100% when unplugged, buy the Captivate desktop dock. Mine charges it to 100% and keeps it there. I don't ever use it to do that though.

[Captivate Android Development] codeblue315:
Flashed 6.0, then 6.1, and now 6.2 and the battery was free-falling from 98% down to 30% in 4 hours under moderate use. And yes I did wipe battery stats, did a stock flash, no master clear tho, and also flashed at 100%.

I decided to flash my first kernel since there were a lot of comments on here about how good SuckerPunch is. Flashed it, worked like a charm, and now my battery is better than 'Dipity 5.12.

Fantastic work on the ROM as well, smooth as hell. But for anyone having battery issues like I did, try a different kernel and see what happens.

Happy Flashing!

[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Something I just noticed... it was in the 5.xx versions also (for me anyway). The "stay awake" when charging. It works fine until reboot then looses the setting making the box have to be re-ticked at next boot.

My Q is, is this "the way" or is there a way to make the setting stick?

This is NOT a big deal

... I mean I'm not really so lazy, :rolleyes: . Just wondering if its me (something done or not done), my device, the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] osendott:
Asking if one modem is better than the other is a loaded questions. Modems depend on what area you're in, your phone, etc. I juse I9000XXJVE, however I've heard a lot of people complain about it, but it works great in my area. The best thing to do is, download a few different modems (there is a [REF] Modem Thread to get you started) and try them out, see which one works best for you.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
There is no downside in doing a stock JF6 flash and master clear before making such a jump. That would be why the chefs suggest it...

Unable to get USB Debugging working

I have an older version of Serendipity (3 something) and I want to upgrade to 6.

I cannot get USB debugging working. I flashed the Firebird Kernel about a month ago. I haven't noticed it until now, but it just automatically goes into Mass Storage mode.

How do I flash new version if I can't get into debugging mode?

[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
I've had that issue before. You have to copy your backup from wherever you keep it, after you install tibu + pro. Just overwrite the one it makes when you install it. Its not rom specific, had it happen with other roms. Its actually restoring while its sitting there. You just have no idea of its progress.

Master clear

I am having nothing but problems this time trying to upgrade. Nothing is working. I did flash back to stock, but now Master Clear in Odin won't work, it just sits there. What I'm doing is putting the phone into debug mode, inserting the USB cable into the phone, turning it off, starting Odin, turn phone on with cable attached, then click on Master Clear. What am I doing wrong (this has worked three times before, including this morning)?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
It's like putting air in your car's tire. When you remove the chuck from the valve a little air escapes. I've just learned to unplug the cable from the phone really, really fast to keep the charge at 100%.

I take it your stock right now? Root it, load up CWM and load the rom. Go to recovery and 1)do factory reset, 2) Wipe cache partition, in advanced, 3) Wipe batt statts, 4) Wipe dalvik cache. Install the rom. You'll be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Ha ha... I fudged with this many times before and got stuck there as well.

-- turn on phone (ensure usb debugging), turn on odin, plug phone in, then master clear. DO NOT MOUNT and DO NOT BE IN DOWNLOAD MODE.

If it doesn't work, restart phone/computer and retry.
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
The OP said "my phone has been unplugged for over an hour and it is still at 100%". Does yours stay at 100% for 1 hour ?

The main difference between the OP's post and mine is that mine makes sense. ;)

100% after an hour, well...

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
ROM Manager? Why?

There is no need to ever download ROM Manager at all.

After flashing to stock, copy the attached update.zip to your SD, then run "Update Packages" from stock recovery twice. You'll be rooted and running CWM Recovery without ever touching the market or ROM Manager.

This should only be done after a clean flash to stock with ODIN.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I moved from Perception 10.4, I loved it but it was discontinued and Cognition is KB1 based so that's not appealing to me, if I want 2.2 I'd just flash the official release.

Having a wonderful experience with Assonance, I decided to flash Serendipity this time. So far so excellent, everything is working the way it should. I just added KP1 modem to the CWM zip before installing and I'm having a good time with my cappy.

Thank you MikeyMike and ChanceM for your great rom.

Tibu restored fine for me after flashing to 6.2 from 5.12
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've used up my Thanks today, so thank you - my problem is getting into stock recovery, it's always been an issue, it's easier to use ROM Manager. However, next time I'll be a big girl and give it a shot :)

I follow a set of written instructions when I flash, and to date it has been easy peasy, but today everything fell apart over and over again - story of my life right now.

Titanium Backup is running right now, doing the restore. The rom is definitely snappy! I'm hopeful this time all works the way it should.

Question. How do I remove the modem and kernel that comes with 6.2? I want to use my own kernel and modem. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Since I know I can use hardware keys to get into download mode, I use ADB.

I guess I'll give my whole procedure just for anyone's who's interested:

1. Backup everything I want to keep; put it somewhere safe.

2. With the phone off and unplugged, open ODIN on my computer.

3. Enter download mode on the phone via hardware keys. I use the Volume Buttons+insert USB method.

4. ODIN should recognize the phone within about 30 seconds. If it doesn't, unplug, re-launch ODIN and plug in again. If it still doesn't, unplug and pull battery, then enter download mode again.

5. Once ODIN recognizes the phone, start the flash to stock. The blue progress bar should appear within 30 seconds. If it does not, I unplug and re-launch ODIN, then I pull battery and manually enter download mode again. (This is where you need to be dead sure you can enter download mode manually, or you will be bricked at this point.) Keep trying until the blue progress bar appears.

6. Once the phone is back to stock, let it boot then unplug and enable USB debugging. Plug back in and copy the update.zip in my signature and Serendipity zip to your SD card.

7. Use adb to enter recovery (this is safe because we already tested hardware download mode). adb reboot recovery

8. Once in recovery, choose Update Packages. The phone will replace stock recovery with CWM, then return to the recovery window. Run Update Packages again and you'll land in CWM Recovery. Choose Install zip from SD card>choose zip from SD card, then install Serendipity.

9. Let Serendipity boot all the way until it gets a data connection, then reboot to recovery using the power menu and flash any add-ons.

10. Install TiBu and restore apps+data, but not system data.

[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I decided to compare benchmarks for a few different kernels with Serendipity 6.2 - Paragon6-1200-100hz, Speedmod-k13c-500hz, SuckerPunch #56 & SuckerPunch Voodoo #7 (no O/C or U/V).

Note: It seems that while Suckerpunch Voodoo #7 optimizations may be great for SPV7, they're less than great for Speedmod and Speedmod-based kernels like Paragon6 & Suckerpunch#56. Testing the Speedmod based kernels after this kernel showed remarkably lower performance.

In Paragon6's CWM Recovery - under Speedmod ULK Features > Tweak Options - there's an option for Kernel Scheduler that's not listed as an option on the other kernels, but still showed a significant increase in performance for both Speedmod k13c & SuckerPunch #56.

Except for Speedmod k13c, the final scores were very close. The reason why I use the Antutu Benchmark is because of the score breakdowns.

Overall:

Speedmod-k13c-500hz was unexceptional except for it's SD Card Write performance, which is oddly higher than the other kernels.

Paragon6 & SuckerPunch Voodoo #7 have nearly the same 3D score. Paragon6 had a higher 2D score, while SuckerPunch Voodoo #7 had higher SD Card Read & Write scores.

SuckerPunch #56 had a slightly lower 3D score than Paragon6 & SuckerPunch Voodoo #7, but also a significantly higher 2D score than these kernels. With that, its SD Card Write score was slightly higher than Paragon6's, while it's SD Card Read score was slightly lower.

Based upon my usage, I'm thinking that 2D & Read/Write scores are the most important, but I'm not sure that the 3D hit that comes with Speedmod k13c is worth the cost.

Opinions?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Under sp56 option did you up the lagfix to faster?

Also I would agree that 2d performance is a huge factor in choosing a kernel.
