Ha...so I'm not alone. The other day I used this script. Not sure I trust the bench marks but for sure the seat of the pants feel is quicker... A lot. So after messing about my first thought was.... Can this be done to the internal? ...lol. I have no idea and have not investigated further but sounds like winning proposition.

Also I'm using script with 2048 almost 2 days now. It deff makes a difference and no issues to speak of. And man does the gallery fly open.

Doesn't the cache size you choose (to optimize sd card speed) depend on the sd card allocation size you choose when you format the card???
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I used root explorer to copy the file over and renamed it. I did the 2048 version and It makes a great difference to me. Everything just loads faster from the sd card. Pictures, Album art, custom icons, ect.

on this web site does the boot amimations work for 6.3 and which option do i choose the sense, froyo, or the cyanogen rom

also how do i install them correctly
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Cyanogen. Put the cooked zip on the root of sdcard then go to Recovery mode. Flash it like you regularly do with roms.

[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
Oh, it's nothing. It just makes your Captivate more awesomer that's all.

This method worked for me the first time. I made the script with Notepad and using Root Explorer I placed it into...

/system/etc/init.d

and rebooted.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Applied the 2048 fix, not sure it did anything.

is the internal SD a class 2?
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
I ran both test about 5 times before my battery ran too low. It seems the read speed is much higher with the new setting than it is without it.

I have a cheap $30 ADATA class 10 16gb card I got off Newegg
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I'm in the process of running the benchmark on each setting.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
I must be incorrectly installing the script then.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Looks like 2048 wins.
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
LOL... Did you say benchmark? :D
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
For anyone who wants to apply this. it works and is noticeable. According to SD Tools my write speed still sucks majorly but Read speed has been improved 3x
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I think 2048 is the best amount. Any higher and it has to look through more data to find what it needs and any smaller and it has to replace other data thats already cached. Not sure if I'm right but it kinda makes sense.

Is there anybody using Serendipity who has been able to get OpenVPN set up and working properly, that would be willing to share step-by-step instructions?

Boot Animations

I have been trying to get an answer to this and good instructions for this.

Is it possible to change the boot animation and shutoff animation for 6.3. i dont really like the stock one and if you have an answer could you tell me where to find the file(s) and how to install.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
You could try replacing the boot animation using root explorer instead of flashing it through cwm.

Captivate, Serendipity, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Make sure you BACK UP YOUR ROM FIRST

After each replacement shut down and restart. Do not do both then shut down. You do each individually so you know if you've run into trouble. If you do both you won't know which one is problematic.

Take attached file's and drag to desktop. double click to open and drag file inside to desktop. Connect to pc and from your phone drag top bar down and select USB connected. You will see both your sdcard and ex ternal both open. Open the ex ternal and drag both folders to card. Now go to sdcard>external_sd here long press (start with boot animation) and copy. back up 2 screens and follow the steps below. For shut down follow same steps only look for the video file

system>media>

Down near bottom is the bootanimation.zip replace this w/ the one you want.

system>media>video

replace the shutdown folder

are there any sites that can make the flashable zips for you? and if so how do you install correctly

You can grab the Email.apk from the Serendipity Kitchen. If you want to change that, download a different launcher from the Market like LauncherPro, Go Launcher EX or ADW.

6.3 Wallpapers

Maybe from installing REDROM but the wallpapers that came with 6.3 seem to have disappeared.

Where can I find them in the 6.3 ROM download .zip? I especially want to get the grey stone wallpaper back.

Will Serendipity be getting 2.3 anytime soon? :)
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
not until samsung releases kernel sources for 2.3, which won't happen until 2.3 is officially released for the i9000
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I don't lnow if you experimented on the ones I showed you, but now search XDA for either I897 or I9000 boot and shutdown animations. Find what you like and try it. Please just remember to backup.... I think many of us will agree, this comes from experience;)

i am a 15day old android 2.1 user . yesterday i flashed with serendipity. i have the following probs and queries

1. Missing Email Client . Just realised the email client was by Samsung and not Google . installed it using the serendipity kitchen . its weird that google ships the device without any email client.

2. how can i disable the 3d effect in the top and bottom row of apps menu? i miss 2 full row of app icons

i used launcher pro ...but dont want a specific app running for that

3 . point me to an article that lists the difference between google apps,process,service....i see a different listing with Adv Task Killer,ES task manager. whenever i kill or stop the service ymail and ymessenger restarts again.how can i have full control of the startup process in android just like in windows

4.in the addon section of the serendipity website what is

Stock

Green A

Blue A

Green D

Green G

Red G??

The first post and the website itself is not very helpful

[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
I was having the navigation button auto activation issue with Serendipity 6.3 and I flashed Cognition 4.3 to see if the problem persisted. Luckily, the problem went away and it was not hardware.

UV does little more than balance out OC. You will not save any noticeable battery life by undervolting.

Having a few problems with messaging. I know my phone can hold hundreds of messages. But after about 250 messages, it just starts freezing my phone. Also, one of the core google components freezes and has to keep restarting. In addition to that, once the core component freezes and I assume it restarts, I can no longer see the names of the contacts on the messages, just numbers.

Anyone else have this problem? And is there a fix?

1. Ships with Gmail , Googles email client. Market > enhanced email or moxier mail are good mail apps.

2. Do not understand what your saying here.

However, there is no problem running a different launcher. Many options, Market> Launcher Pro, ADW, Zeam, Slide Screen, Open Home, Crazy Home, Go Launcher, Quick Desk, Helix Launcher, Wave launcher, Circle Launcher.... etc etc

3. Market > StartUp Auditor, Startup Manager, StartUp Cleaner v.2 , those are options, i don't use them or recommend them.

4. Hover over words to see the "green A", "blue A" etc.... choose the one you think is purty, or don't choose any at all, lol.

[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
it should increase the read speeds of both the internal and external SD Card, at least that's what I read in a post. I have all my pictures on my external SD Card and it certainly loads quicker.

I assume SD Tools is testing my external SD Card when it's plugged in. When I open the app without the external sd card in SD Tools doesn't show any sd card info, but when I put the sd card back in it shows the sd card info.

I think Serendipity comes with AOSP one, and you can add the Samsung MMS back in the add-ons kitchen? The Samsung MMS does what you want.

Just tried camera in recording mode on my 6.3; it throws up the message "Recording failed" a couple of times after pressing record button, and prevents it from starting. I remember it used to work on 5.12 some time ago, not sure where I lost it while upgrading to 6.0 and up.

Are there any ways to troubleshoot this thing? I don't have any customizations except for the 2048 sd card fix, so it's plain vanilla serendipity (awesome rom btw) with k13d speedmod.
