but doesn't Keep the Lights On keeps the lights on the whole time the screen is on? The feature that comes with Serendipity comes on when you touch the screen and turns off after a bit if inactivity or if you don't touch the screen after a few seconds. I'd rather have the lights off all the time.

I guess I have to choose which I want more, call recording or button lights on while screen is touched. I'm dealing with money/lawyer crap so I think it's best to keep the call recording feature.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I hope your lawyer crap works out. That is never a fun place to be.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
thank god for call recording. I have a horrible memory and am liable to shoot myself in the foot and besides, it's not that big of a deal. At the moment it's just a handy tool have.

BTW, paragon users: How's your gps? I didn't really use GPS (other then yelp checkin, etc) on serendipity prior to swapping kernels. This weekend I was in sacramento and the area for policy stuff and driving around my gps would lose lock every 30 seconds or so.....horrible! I'm not sure if my sucky gps is the sucky gps of sammy as a whole or if paragon made it worse. So my question is, paragon users, did your gps suck more after putting on that kernel? Looks like I gotta start reading about gps tweaks and get to work but if it's a paragon thing, maybe i'll swap over to the new suckerpunch.
[Captivate Android Development] rootmepls:
Ran a couple GPS tests with it and it seemed about the same. No widget issues like others mentioned. Its pretty much care free like when I first Flashed S 5.12. Battery life seems better and a bit zippier.

With any kernel my gps is now flawless. Search forums for plumbbob gps fix. The guys been working very hard on it and I think he's solved the problem software wise. All I know is my gps blew no matter what modem or settings I tried. Followed his tutorial and with jk4 I'm within 50ft accuracy and cold locks in 10 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
well, I installed it right after I installed serendipity after going stock/masterclear. It was the first thing I installed to see if it would work.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
And referring to the kernel boot screens...I've been searching all over on info to decompile a kernel to change the boot screen. My fav kernel is glitterballs but the boot screen shows samsung gt i9000 which for some reason bothers me. I got rid of the white att screen for a black google boot screen which I love. Any body have info on switching out the kernel boot?

I recently found out about lcd density and I am so glad I did. I never heard anyone in this thread ever talk about it and am curious why. With the settings on 200 its comparable to the difference of.800x600 and 1024x768 on a monitor. In my opinion unless u have problems reading smaller txt its a must. Now I just have to find a free app that remembers the settings so I don't have to reapply after every boot.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I rather not mess with the kernel. Getting too complicated.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
@mbc663

Just change the setting in the build.prop manually to the desired dpi.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Anybody else have this problem? I know more than one person download the file.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Beautiful. Thank you for your reply!
[Captivate Android Development] Lawliet L Ryuzaki:
Any how to link or tut in replacing the boot screen like you did? (and the kernal boot as well?) I've wanted to, but havent understood it properly (searching throughout never seems to answer my question straight :S)
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
I also noticed, before I installed "call recording", that using the app "No Lock" would sometimes break the button lights, but reenabling the lock screen will fix it. I'm just saying this because I think the buttons lights can be effected by certain apps/stuff.

Basically fool proof. The author did a great job with the scripts...

I used one of the 40 something SuckerPunch. it was about a month or so ago.

I then moved to Speedmod, which was great, until I discovered how amazing Paragon was on my phone.

I'm intrigued by the one you have, the SP based on Voodoo. i'll try it in a couple weeks :D Right now i have really good battery life and don't wanna mess it up :p

[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
People are posting 20+ hour battery times and I could get that too, like I did last week (30 hours) but I barely touched my phone. I was wondering if anyone could share their "screen on" times, especially if using auto brightness.

My battery life since switching to auto brightness seems a lot worse, which is to be expected. However, it seems excessive now (kernel doesn't change much at all). I used 0-8% brightness the last 5 months but now that I used auto brightness for a week, I could never go back.

Today I am at 4h 20m since unplugged, screen time is 1h 25m (98%) and my battery is at 45%. I've seen people post screen times of 4+ hours, but I don't recall seeing anything higher than 2.5 hours even using 0% brightness.

I know this isn't the rom specifically, but I have been running Serendipity since the very beggining and face it, this is the most helpful thread on this site.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Heres what I use... Waterdrop.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
:o Again, I'm an ass.

I think I've seen (or heard rather) that in another ROM. Though it's soothing, I'd like find something that still maintains the general pitches of the DTMF tones but less harsh. I'll come up with something.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Without hearing it, i9000 Dialers have one sound for each button, and its a water drop.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

Finally, someone has posted battery stats that look like mine. I have been trying to get the 40+ hour statistics that others are posting, but no matter what I try I have no success. I am interested in more insight on this as well.

To update I am now at 7% after 6h 38m since unplugged and 2h 14m screen time.

Hi,

I just flashed this yesterday and all was well. I was running CM7 but got tired of not having my 720P mkv's. Only thing i wanted to ask is where is the themed market and gmail? I flashed the ROM but my gmail looks the same, my market was black for the first time i used it, and then went back to normal.

Also, today i had my phone in my pocket during a meeting. When i took it out it was very hot, and i went from 93% battery to 55% in 1 hour. After this my market didnt show any of my installed apps. I had to reset the market and now its fine again. Any one have any ideas what might have caused that?

(PS: I flashed back to stock with ODIN prior to flashing this.)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
This is the latest themed Gmail and Market.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Yay! Something to flash. Err...I mean copy and paste...
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Thanks Mikey!

Can i flash this with clockwork like the addon apps, or copy over with root explorer?
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
it's an apk so you've gotta use root explorer
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The second one.

I've had those on my phone for a while now, actually.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I would charge every night regardless. I also have a charger at work, in the car and two spare batteries. It's really no issue. I'm just looking to get the screen on time of others to truly see what people who claim to get 30 hours are actually using.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
I find myself bump-charging mid-day for no other reason than fear of heading out on a beer run at 8pm on a random night and blowing a tire (no spare in the Mini Cooper), mechanical failure, car wreck, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
Ok, this is amazing. I have never hit anything close to this. I can not make it through a whole day. Are you using voltage control? If so, what are your settings? Did you notice an increase in battery life when you went to suckerpunch? Any other info you can provide would be great.

Thanks so much
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yes. Go to the market and dl BLN control. Also, some kernels incorporate a toggle in the CWM.

I moved them with Super Manager and they all show up as (No Install), 2 of them installed when I clicked on them in Super Manager but Email, TTS, Video & Pico TTS all come back "application not installed" when I hit the install button.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
You don't need to "install" those. TTS and Pico TTS are not apps that you use, per se. Video & Email are...just to be sure they show up and don't force close, reboot to recovery and clear the cache partition. Then reboot and they should be there.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Once you get them into system/app you have to reboot...

Edit: too slow
[Captivate Android Development] Dusky323:
appreciate all the help, I'll try some more in the morning. Ive re-booted and re-booted, cleared cache partition and re-booted some more but the e-mail still doesnt show up as a useable app. Its in the system/app folder and I can click the install button using Super Manager but it just doesnt install. Trying again tomorrow. Thanks again.

Could be corrupt files. Re-download the files and dl 7zip as well; use 7zip to extract the files to your desktop and then to your phone.

hey boomer does the gen x theme still work?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yeah, why?

---Edit---

The 4 lockscreen function will not work with the android.policy.jar file included in the 1.9 update of this ROM. This is the file that had to be modded to get haptic on home. However, if you flash the theme over this it will re-write the file from theme....so, then no haptic on home but 4 lockscreens. I'm hoping MM puts a modded file in the next update to include the 4 lockscreens and haptic on home.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Running great so far with one exception. I've flashed twice, and both times, after applying Serendipity's zip, I lose file-level access to everything above sdcard. Can't sideload, etc. I've had this problem before with Assonance 4.3, but nowhere else. It isn't a showstopper, but I've tried everything I know: remount in terminal, reflash, re-root. Apps can get su no problem; it's just file access.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Removed Video Call from settings...

Anyone up to test a mod to the CallSetting.apk to remove the video calling?

You all know the drill:

drop on SD

Reboot recovery

Install zip

reboot

Anyone have the fix for the Google Navigation? It displays "Getting Driving Directions" the whole time, but it never establishes the route.

My girlfriend has been running serendipity for a few weeks now and suddenly the battery life has gone to the crapper, she doesn't have any apps installed that are eating battery...

its losing like 10% an hour idling
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
However if you look at the display time, this isn't that great. When not in use my phone only uses 1-1.5% of battery per hour. The screen is the largest battery consumer of all.
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
People need to realize that these are full blown computers in the palm of your hand....therefore, you WILL eat up the battery by using it! I would be happy to get 12 hours with hard use. If you want more than that, you need to have a spare battery or charge mid-day. If you want these 20-30 hour use times that you read about, you can do it if you unplug your phone and DON'T TOUCH IT. I can't see going that long unless it is pure standby time.

I've had best luck with Paragon's kernel as others have said too. I tried SukerPunch #5 yesterday (maybe should have given it longer), but just came back to Paragon an hour ago. Even with heavy use, I can make it through the day with charging every night. That is all I expect from a smartphone.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
The ROM can't crap out either. The only thing that has changed since it was installed would be apps or some settings. How often is the GPS/Wifi on, how often does it check for email, are there widgets updating, has the battery been properly calibrated?

People that say they get more than 24 hours on battery don't even use their phone. They want to come on here and say they went a week on one charge.

That isn't true. I use my phone. Now with Paragon, I can get 24 hours out of my battery. Yes, I do the flight mode thing every day, but that fixes the issue - for the day (I wish that would just go away).
