It looks sexy! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
And based on the date and time I'm guessing it's the latest build that hasn't be released yet. (GR-xx or Something else)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Except for that clock ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I agree. That clock has got to go! Also I did like the grey status bar. The solid black blends in to much. But over all its looking good. Can't wait.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The solid black is easier on the screen and is less likely to burn in.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
That's good. I don't care that much about it. The black still looks good and serves a purpose. As is the notification bar looks great. Even with the clock!

Edit: plz include an option for clock in notification bar. Its the best of both worlds. Idk how hard it would be to implement though.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's on the to-do list.

Along with 2 pages of other stuff.

I thought this rom was made final? did it go back in development?!?!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I believe the Froyo version is final.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I think there is a serendipity gb coming. Not anytime soon but I think its planned.
[Captivate Android Development] bullet358:
Aight...so I feel stupid. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
I'm assuming that this ROM has the "JPA firmware" built in... If not, please advice if this needs to be flashed, and if yes, is there a CWM flashable file around?

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I use Go Launcher + SetiroN's kernel (at the moment... been using any kernel I can find).

It works fine, so it's either a kernel problem (I doubt it) or a new ROM installation is in order.

Also, there was an update (to 1.40) about a day ago, so that might be the cause/solution depending on if you upgraded or not.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I already put the JPA firmware in. So flashing it again doesn't accomplish much more than placebo.
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Thanks MikeyMike, I will do a fresh install and keep everyone posted in case someone else finds themself with the same problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Thanks for the confirmation!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I didn't know that it's already included, doesn't say on the features/packages installed. My bad.

I added it to the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
Awesome, awesome ROM. With undervolting settings of -150, -125, -125, -125, -100, -100, I've never had better battery life with my phone. On Assonance 5.2, my battery was dead in 17 hours with little usage.

On Serendipity 2.0, I'm at 12 hours and 75% battery with a fair bit of usage so far.
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
Mikeymike, are you the third coming of Christ(the second being Marshall Mathers ofcourse)?

This is pure epic. All i did was install the alternative included kernel and the jk4 modem. I wish i had a bank account, you deserve a lil something.
[Captivate Android Development] denellum:
i love this rom, just had the charge of death occur. :/ i love your stuff any way i can NEVER get this to happen again? im assuming its kernal related? know of one that works that i can go to?
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Battery drain is still more than I'd like... A little over 10% an hour with light use.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I had sort of the same issue...except my Go launcher would add one extra homescreen and my widgets would be overlapping anytime I would flash anything through clockwork (themes, updates, etc.) I just dealt with it then but ever since I upgraded the Go launcher a few days ago I havent had the problem when doing the last couple updates so if you havent upgraded Go launcher see if that solves your problem...
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
What do you consider light use? Is your battery calibrated properly?

I'm at 75% with moderate use (by my standards) at 12 and a half hours now.
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
These phones are so odd, I mean my phone had bad battery life but for some reason I get amazing life out of serendipity and I don't even have it under volted. It seems like each phone was not made the same.
[Captivate Android Development] eyekyu:
I can only apply live wallpaper, nothing else will apply... its weird
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
+1

I had this rom like a week and it drains my battery bad. I even uv but nothing changes. So I decided to try out Doc's rom and that was amazing (battery life wise), I had at 75% and I didn't touch for like 5 hrs and stayed at 75%. But now I returned to Serendipity but this time I tried the JL2 Modem and SpeedMod as an alternative of the original one. So far so good.

Sent from my Muscles using my Brain Cells
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Light use? 10 texts and 10 seconds of Facebook.

The battery calibration is IMO a sorry cop-out for everyone. I heard this same song and dance for other ROMs. I own four batteries now, they all perform the same on each ROM. I'm pretty certain it's either a ROM problem or hardware problem.

+1 on each being a different phone, though. Cog ran great on my old one, on this warranty replacement phone Cog crashes (I might try it again).

All I gotta say is great rom...Ill send a donation soon.

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well, this ROM has passed my 3 days test (3 days without wanting to flash something new) so I have changed my sig to reflect my new top ROM. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I agree, seeing what Mikey has been showing us sneak peaks at ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I hope so. Just thinking about it makes me excited. And since he knows all the tricks with froyo the initial release should be pretty close to serendipity 6.4 except it'll be gb. But we'll see.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I know. I am trying to keep my cool, but I am so anxious for his new GR update. It's been awhile and I hope it's great! I kept coming back to Serendipity though because I need BLN and all the things we have come a custom to in Serendipity.

But I really do think GR is gonna be something amazing.

On another note, what is your life span with Serendipity right now? It seems after I reflashed, my battery life has gone way down. :(
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
My battery life has been steadily declining. I've recalibrated battery stats, but it hasn't helped. I'm just waiting patiently (with charger nearby) for the next iteration. :)
[Captivate Android Development] drizzle67:
I just switched back to serendipity from gr-12.. I loved it bit its still too rough. Either way im happy to wait out an update on 6.4! :)

Granted I just flashed back like 5 hours ago but my battery is doing great as usual!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I get about 6-9 hours with my phone just idle...

I have my Google Account and my Facebook account sync on for ever 6 hours.

Even when I turn off network mode, I get maybe an extra 2 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
That's weird. I got 6-9 hours easy with heavy usage while on serendipity. 24+ hours with light usage.

Are you just running the bundled package or did you change modem/kernel/etc?

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I get 10+ hours on heavy use easy. Wifi always on, Facebook every 8 hours, Google sync.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
I would suggest reflashing and wiping battery stats both before and after the flash (i.e. bat wipe, dipity flash, bat wipe)

Then give it at least a whole day before judging the battery life.

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I will try it in the morning. Same thing was happening with GR-12.. about 6 hours with networking off.
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
Also make sure you have a full battery while flashing. I don't know if that actually helps, but a lot of threads suggest that.

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I was planning to clear bat stats with the toolbox. When I do it, should my battery be fully charged or does it not matter?
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
Hmmm. I can't really say if it matters, but I would imagine having a full battery would be ideal.

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Full battery by what it says on the phone? Or should I go through a whole battery calibration (even though I have done it before)?
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
Again, I can't give you an answer with 100% certainty, but I personally have never performed a battery calibration. (if by calibration you mean the whole discharge> charge full while off> discharge >charge full while on....or whatever the procedure is....like I said, I haven't ever done it)

So, I don't think that is necessary for good battery life.

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
That's what I meant.

Alright, well I will try it tomorrow and see how things go. Thanks a lot! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
You should always wipe battery at 100%. If you wipe at 50% your phone will think 50% is 100%. Or so I read, but it makes sense though.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
What happens if you wipe at 50% though? Think about it... If you wipe at 50% charged, then you charge to 100% (on the 50% batter wipe), and wipe again when the battery reaches 100%, won't it just be at the original 50%?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
From what I understand the battery stats is just a log created when you discharge the battery. You know how the phone turns off before the battery actually dies that's because of the battery stats. The charger will always charge the battery to a true one hundred percent even if the phone thinks the Max is 50%. So if you wiped at 50 all you would have to do was charge back up and wipe again for the phone to know exactly how much battery you have. The battery and the phone don't actually interact. Thats why after a wipe you should always completely discharge the battery until the phone shuts off by itself.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I think battery calibrating is overrated.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I agree, but It should be done once if you flashed alot. I don't think you should ever do it just because you'll think you'll get better battery life. BUT if you flashed a couple of ROMs recently and went back to one you know has great battery life (i.e. Serendipity) but you notice a huge decline in battery life then I would recommend doing ONE battery wipe.

Full battery charge -> wipe -> complete discharge -> full battery charge

DO ONLY ONCE, if you do it and nothing is different, don't do it again. It won't change anything. Get a new battery or reflash using recommended steps.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I flash a new build 1-10 times a day.

Does that count? >_>
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Haha well either way I'm going to wipe my batter stats in the morning just to see! :p

Sent from my Cappy; using my fingers to push some buttons.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Haha well lets be honest, do you know some of the crap we flash to our phones. Sure if you flash the same ROM but a different build something is less likely to happen. But going to MIUI, then CM, and Continuum something is bound to happen. It's like putting 20 different types of gasoline in your car, it still gonna run, but not well.

But if you put the same type off gas in your car 20 times Its all the same. (Referring to your post)
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
I'm on Continuum 5.3 right now. I'm thinking of going back to Serendipity. Can I run Serendipity with GB bootloaders or is that going to make my phone explode? Also, so I have to do something with the kernel I loaded, or just flash Serendipity from recovery mode? Feel free to link me to another post if anyone knows where instructions on that are.
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I tried to flash with GB CWM recovery... doesn't work
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
You should be able to flash straight back, as Serendipity doesn't flash bootloaders. As for the kernel, I don't know if serendipity flashes speedmod. If it does, your fine. If it doesn't you will need to get rid of the	JVB/JVH (whatever continuum uses) kernel.

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Those are two totally contradictory posts. If the thing is just stuck lala land of recovery, I haven't bricked the phone and can just flash back to Continuum right? Serendipity has to flash it's kernel, as it's not the same as stock.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Just flash back to stock using Odin One Click. You could've saved yourself what seems like an hour of waiting for forum posts. Then flash the CWM update.zip with stock recovery, then flash the ROM. Done. When in doubt, why ask a few questions that could take a lot lot longer to get answer than it could've just flashing back to stock and starting back at square one (which isn't even a long process and where the directions for installation start). Apparently the update.zip for CWM is also on the Serendipity website if you don't already have it.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
MikeyMike or anyone, do you still have the scribble boot animation file WITH the 3 dots (from this video http://mobile-smartphones-review.co...n-a-flash-serendipity-33-5-january-15th-2011/) somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I know UOT Kitchen has one that is pretty close.

Bootanimation > Use this mod > Scribble (at the bottom) > Select system/media (Cyanogen). Then just go to File Upload and upload your framework-res.apk from the Serendipity Zip.

Cook and install!

__________________________________________________

I just found the original file... here you go.

Just rename it to bootanimation.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Its a couple if pages back. Someone pulled it from the old serendipity
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I have every single build ever released, plus dozens that weren't. That's 25 GB of ROMs. :cool:

But I see someone else posted it.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
That is a lot. Haha you should flash the very first one you released and see how crappy it is compared to the current. That's like comparing box black and white TVs to HDTVs.

Where can I download a different radio image to change with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:

Click the link in my signature. Its 1900XXJQ1 it'll take you to the modem page.

Thanks, and can I flash the KB1 modem with Serendipity?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Also, KB1 isn't compatible! Don't flash that! Flash KC1 I hear its good.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Modem

Sounds about right, Modem/kernel

And for many with batt issues.

1) Try different modems. Modems can do different things to different phones. What might be good for one local may be a killer on another.

2) Go to the modem post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391 Read and understand how to flash modems, there is an excellent instructional buried within the thread.

Edit: Found it http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438

3) Both Modem and Kernel can effect battery. I was on Serendipity for many different builds and in the 6.3 to 6.4 builds the best results I got was with Onix (existz's kernel) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930679

4) that in conjunction with dvjp9 modem I would get up to 35hrs min use. All out use I would get 12 - 14 and that was w/ display at max brightness. (this worked for me but may not for you. It's all about testing;))

BATT CALIBRATION DOES WORK only prior to and post a new odin flash. Odin creates the start point. Waiting a week will accomplish the same results.

Lastly, before flashing new kernel or modem 1)back up and 2) always charge to 100%. first w/ phone on then unplug phone and charge to 100% again. Flash new Kernel and modem and watch!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Well after a few weeks flashing GB ROMS I'm back to comfortable stability and (call recording)

Tried Continuum (all versions) Mosaic III, Perception, and GR 9-12 (which I liked the best due to the more stable kernel) , All have great promise but my bug tolerance is not what it used to be when 2.2 was first released.

Looking forward to continued dev here while I keep an eye out for some major fixes to common nits on the GB
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Does anyone have the stock (unthemed) I9000 DialerTabActivity.apk with the orange MMS key and water-droplet noise without a video calling button?

If not, does anyone know a ROM that has it? There was one that did, but it is completely slipping my mind. I had it on my first phone, but that's ruined....

@MikeyMike01: It may have been in Serendipity 4.3? Do you have an archive of old versions on the internet for download?

Are they online, that is the question........
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Three questions:

1. I know modems are good for some but not for others, but I have tried using the UCKB1 Modem and it seems to be a great improvement. The only problem is that the phone has restarted a few times on it? What do you recommend?

2. Why charge to 100%? Just curious.

3. What is the whole things about 850 mhz (I did some searching with a few answers but not enough to completely understand).
[Captivate Android Development] :
I knew you're holding out on me!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Most of it's crap. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Still tempted to flash back to this every once in a while
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Ditto, but then I couldn't watch netflix... I think.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
1. UGKB1 isn't compatible with this ROM which is why it restarts.

2. Always charge to 100% when doing anything to ensure A) You don't have battery problems after and B) Your phone doesn't die in the middle of a flash.

3. AT&T mainly uses 850 mHz so if your on a modem that defaults to 1900 mHz you won't have any signal. Mostly all i9000 modems (which you should be using since KB1 is a i897 modem) default to 850 mHz, so no problem there, Unless your gonna flash JVK or JPG or JQ1 or JS1 or JVE!
[Captivate Android Development] conundrum768:
I know the feeling. Serendipity was a great ROM for me, but GR-12 is immaculate. I got a little too drunk on Tuesday and took the Serendipity ==> GR-12 plunge. Nothing but nostalgia is making me look back.

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Well is there any way I have a bad battery? I mean I have flashed UGJL2 and still lose a percent of battery in standby about every 10 minutes.

What do you think?

EDIT:

My battery has gone from 100% to 96% in about 20 minutes.

Also it my battery use, it says:

18M since unplugged

Display - 91% (3M)

Wi-Fi - 5% (18M)

Cell Standby - 3% (18M)

Phone Idle - 1% (15M)
[Captivate Android Development] phatninja13:
you can always use ADW or LP and just freeze TW4 with TiBu. that's what i did and my phone has never been smoother with GR-12. but if you drop by the GR thread you will see Mikey has a nice shiny new serendipity coming down the pipes, I couldn't be more excited.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Thats actually normal. My phone drops to 90% in about 30 mins but after that it always stabilizes to about 10% every hour with normal use.

As for your battery use, thats about right too. But check under Cell Standby and see what time without signal says. If it's high that could be a battery drain issue. Although, I don't think it would be enough to notice.

(If its high search for "Time w/o signal fix" in this thread and follow the like and install the apk)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Then how do people get such good battery life then? Cause mine literally drops 1% every 2 and a half minutes when I am using it (like viewing posts on XDA)

I don't seem to have that option if you look at my screenshot.

I ordered a new battery too just to see.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I never run stock homescreens as they don't give me what I want. I'd run GoLauncher on Serendipity or GR-12.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Almost every person that claims to get astounding battery life, that I've seen so far, doesn't sync data automatically and have about 20 minutes of display time after a day.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I have autosync, and GPS fine-point weather updates every 15 minutes. Over the span of my waking hours (7am-12am), I will lose 80% of my battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
If you performed all steps correctly, including full batt, within 3 - 4 days your battery life will stabilize. I have flashed many modems and always thought some were batt hogs, it turns out they need a couple battery cycles to become fully effective. Give what you're using a few days and a few full charges and then see how things look;)
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
I was having pretty bad battery performance after first flashing Serendipity. One thing I did, that just didn't sit right after reading through the various threads on XDA, was immediately after flashing I went to MyBackupPro and restored my previous data. Then, once I started using my phone, I noticed the crazy battery drain (i could literally sit and watch the battery drop about a percent a minute).

After suffering through the bad battery for a couple of days, I decided to re-flash ... but this tone I did not restore any previous data. Battery now seems to be pretty good - much better than what I first experienced.

Not sure if I can say definitively that restoring data was the culprit, but it certainly seemed to be...esp especially after re- flashing and experiencing no bayteryvissues.

Hope this is helpful...
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Restore previous data... as in system data or app data... or both?
