Tried to run 'Voltage control' app after installing SuperMod and got message 'Unsupported kernel detected'. Any idea?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yes, an unsupported kernel was detected. I don't know what SuperMod is, but if you are talking about SpeedMod it doesn't support overclocking or undervolting so Voltage Control isn't very useful with it.
[Captivate Android Development] ghghgh:
Got it. Yes, I meant SpeedMod. ok. I will stay away from Voltage Control app.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
CIFS?

CIFS doesn't seem to work with Serendipity. Or is it the Kernel?

I remember seeing an option somewhere on a different setup (in CWM?) for "enable cifs support"

Can anyone help me find that, or tell me if CIFS can be made to work with this?

I'm using the default Serendipity 2.0 kernel, 2.6.32.9 #22

TIA :)

Before falsh, i make backup, whit CWM

how can i recover?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You can delete Voltage Control, or rename the .apk to something random like .backup or .old if you might need it again one day.

[Captivate Android Development] uberushaximus:
This rom is incredibly fast and I love it, but I can't use it as my daily driver until the system partition bug is fixed and Google talk comes back.

Edit: Just noticed I could download gtalk separately :/
[Captivate Android Development] a_fuegon:
Sounds to me like you replaced GB's Steam Kernel with speedmod. That is why you no longer see the steam interface. I have been using speedmod for the past few versions with Mikey's Assonance and I have been happy. If you really want steam back, just reflash GB's kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] ixiamen:
i flashed this rom last night, and it took 58% power less than 8 hrs, but now it works very well because i change the kernel to speedmod k12k & ugjl2. thx, i love this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
How can i do this? I want to change the kernel and modem too! where can i download them?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Kernels are easily flashed using sgs kernel flasher app (zip tar or zimage file) and modems are flashed through clockwork recovery and most can be found in the modem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
I attached the speedmod kernel and the JL2 modem maybe a few pages back. those both are doing great.
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Battery life I'm thinking is based on the individual phone. Because yeah sometimes the charger instability happens. But that happens with almost every OC kernel. And I haven't had battery problems with this rom. So it must be hardware related.

But I'm still working on the lock screen mod. I've just been busy this weekend with wedding stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] ghghgh:
Installed speedmod k12k 500 yesterday and no death of charge last night. Will watch it couple of more days.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Charge shutdown is an issue with OC/UV kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That is not the case for everyone though so there is more going on here.

I only use OC/UV kernels and have never experienced such issue aside from some beta testing that I did at some point.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
The back light for the touch keys are screwed up. It doesn't come on and off at the correct times. As I type this, the touch key lights are off. When the phone goes into sleep mode, the touch key lights go on and stay on.

I might have missed it but how do i change the wifi sleep policy and stuff like that?
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
thanks, found it. it's working like magic
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
It means you have a notification. Go into recovery and turn off bln or download bln control from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Battery drain is too much for me (10% an hour with practically no usage). Going to try Cog again and hope it doesn't crash. (2% an hour).
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I agree. I generally charge using the PC-USB connection rather than the wall charger, but I do use the wall charger occasionally and (other than a couple of short trials) I always use OC/UV kernels. I haven't seen the problem. I'm just saying that, when the problem occurs, it seems to generally be confined to OC/UV kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Change your wifi sleep policy in Settings/Wireless and network/Wifi Settings, then hit the menu button again, Advanced, and set it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
The touch key lights don't come on when touching the screen with i9000 kernels. As for them coming on when the screen goes off, do you have blacklight notification turned on. I turn off BLN and use the keep the lights on app to turn on the backlights whenever the screen is on.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Try a different kernel tex, not everyones phone reacts the same.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Tried multiple kernels and the wifi fix. battery was just killed on this rom. too bad since it was hands down fastest. i'll be back when battery gets fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Strange, battery is the same for me as its always been. UV with moderate use gets me a little over a day. Using the default gb kernel and jl3 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I just got two incoming calls and I lost signal when the phone rang. Not sure if it is caused by the jl2 modem or the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I realize that but I'd prefer a different ROM packaged with a kernel that works out of the box than "close your eyes and guess" method.

I must say the ONLY ROM, that has outstanding battery life, is Cognition. Even Perception sucks battery more. (IDK why the Cog thread was closed, maybe cuz DG isn't continuing it).
[Captivate Android Development] jperiod:
according to the cognition thread, dg is continuing development of the cognition rom
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Yes but it won't be pure Captivate anymore, which is what I meant. That's all I can figure why the thread was closed.
[Captivate Android Development] scottbot:
The SpeedMod kernel worked well for me, as others have already said. GB's kernel is certainly fast, but SpeedMod seems to be more stable and less power hungry (probably due to not being overclocked), and it boots a bit faster.

Not saying one is better than the other, its actually nice to have some flexibility with this rom, you can either go blazing fast with GB, or (slightly) slower and stable with SM. You can even keep one or the other on the sd card and flash as needed.

I had been using Axura but since development on that has stopped I switched over to this rom. So far so good, it's nice and fast and has been stable up to this point. Thanks for the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Nope I don't have BLN installed.

I'll poke around Recovery and see what I find. Ok Just went into recovery and I didn't see anything there...

I was hoping there would be a WiFi sleep policy where I can change the timeout setting, not that one in the menu.

I'm getting dropped calls like crazy.... I think it's the modem and not the ROM. Is there a way to check? I'm on the JL2 modem. Everything else is stock Serendipity 2.0.

Is it possible to add an equalizer in the music player in the future?
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
:D lol, just wanted you to know MikeyMike that most of us here aren't fair weather fans. We love your work and appreciate what you do for the captivate community. Please keep this train rollin'....
[Captivate Android Development] :
I think Im going to flash to this ROM tonight when I get home. I like the Phoenix rome, but there are too many little things not there that I like having, and this rom seems to have all those.

Im liking the speed kernel, so Ill probably keep that though...
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
The more I use this rom the more I love the skin. And I have up until this point, hated skins.
[Captivate Android Development] dannyfritz:
The voice recorder app is missing.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Geokilla if you have a kernel that supports BLN (backlight notifications) then that is whats lighting up your keys when you have a notification. You can do two things: download "BLN control" from the market and disable OR boot into recovery and find it (if you have a supporting kernel, then it IS there) just look harder.
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
I'm totally a fair weather fan, but Mikes roms are usually bright and sunny.(and fast)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That pretty much summarizes my own experience with it.

Looks and feels nice but just not quite up there with Serendipity (which the only thing I dont like is the name and please dont tell me to get the hell out of here Mike! :D )

So for now, I don't see myself moving away from this one any time soon specially since I have spent time tweaking it and making it even more "mine" :eek:

External SD Mount Issue

Hey Mikey - Did you see my post and if so, do you have any feedback on possible cause or fix? Has anyone else reported a similar issue?

Thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
I haven't experienced this however I was having some minor issues with Go Launcher FC among other things. I tried clearing the cache and fixing permissions was a no go for me. I wiped everything and started from scratch and flashed Seren 2.0 with Speed kernel and everything works great. You might want to start from ground zero.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Tried out Phoenix 3.0 and I do like it but I am going back to Serendipity. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Voice Recorder

I missed VoiceRecorder in this ROM (?), but this one worked, copied from Ginger_Clone_Final_R5 ROM.

(install to /system/app)

EDIT: This does NOT record while on a call... none of the recorder apps seem to be able to do that on the SGS phones :(
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
Flashing roms is not for you then. If you want an "out of the box" experience, then use the rom/kernel that came with your phone... out of the box. We all flash roms hoping for the best, but most of us realize that tweaking may be needed.

4 Lockscreen Mod

Hello Forum,

So I have been working on porting the 4 lock screen mod to Serendipity.

I think I have succeeded...That being said I would like some people to test it out.

Note:

Your phone will take a very long time to boot after you flash this, it's normal. Just be patient!!

I have tried to make this simple

download the zip

place it on the SD card

reboot recovery

install

reboot

wait

enjoy

you can change the lock screens via the settings menu under display.

Settings -> Display -> Unlock Screen

Caution:

If you are going to flash a battery mod please use the V03 from HERE

Battery

My son gave me a Captivate for Christmas (he works for the "provider" and won it for sales excellence). I am presently an iPhone 4 user so the Captivate is a "geek toy" for me and thus I have the ability to learn and experiment without missing calls and emails. I have tried a half dozen roms along with several different kernels and VERY MUCH like Serendipity (great work Mike!!) with the GB kernel (great work GB too). I have observed the back and forth regarding battery, charge of death, etc. and wanted to report my results in context. I have conducted battery experiments with Serendipity in various configurations: No changes, no change but w/max 1GHz, changed kernels, changed modems, etc.. My Captivate is a 1006 batch model and is rooted and unlocked. I flashed to stock and wiped everything before I started. I used BatteryView (in app mode NOT widget mode) to get graphs.

My first out of the box Serendipity run appeared to have bad battery life (about 12 hours of life with "lite" use). About a dozen emails (Exchange Active Sync) and 4 Gmail emails. WiFi sleep was set on never (as is the case for all my tests). I had four standard cell phone calls of about 5 minutes each and 6 sipgate VoIP calls (minute or so each). I probably spent 30 minutes total doing web browsing - all WiFi based. No navigation and no 3G data to speak of. I was not trying to be too scientific here and my lite use may be too lite for others!

My second run (changed to 1GHz max) got about 18 hours of life with similar "lite" use.

I changed to the SpeedMod kernel and got about 20 hours of life in "lite" use.

I then re-flashed to stock, wiped everything, flashed back to 2.0 and did two more runs like my second run above. The first of these last two got about 16 hours of battery life.

The second is now at 26 hours with 20% remaining. So, as others have suggested, battery calibration may be aliasing results we are hearing.

The two big hitters for power use (averaged) were WiFi at 40% and Display at 25%.

I am not quite ready to ditch the iPhone 4 but the Captivate with Serendipity 2x is looking very attractive. Meanwhile, I am having fun experimenting.

Regards to all,

gts

Hey Mikey,

Hello. Last night I left my phone charging (the phone was on standby) then this morning the phone was off with the 100% battery green icon on screen but frozen.

I had to pull the battery to get it working again.

Is this a known bug? I'm using serendipity 2.0 with the touchscreen recovery.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
Use voltage app to lock yourself into 1ghz instead of 1.2, or grab gballz latest kernel which *should* fix the charging death. Or one of the other non oc/uv kernels out there.

What does increase the WiFi and Phone Idle on Battery Usage? Cause I'm comparing this and Doc's Rom, the one I made from Kitchen, and I've noticed the WiFi is just 1%, Cell standby and Idle is like 1% or 2%. While on Serendipity Rom it's 5% on WiFi and huge 40 - 50 % on Standby plus Idle is somewhat 10%.

I've tried uv the kernel and changing the wifi sleep policy. Tried changing the kernel also to SpeedMod but still the same. I guess it really depends on the phone and how it reacts on roms.

is anyone else having issues viewing images stored to sdcard? my phone will just go blank.

[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Mikey, you are so right about the GPS hardware working when it wants to....It's been real spotty as of late, working perfectly one minute and terrible the next. With all the roms Ive flashed I'm certain IT IS NOT A ROM ISSUE.

I just compared with the EVO 4G and took a trip around the block. Interestingly they locked around the same time but tracking wasn't even close. The EVO 4G turned corner as the car did with the captivate a good 10-15 seconds behind :o

I really hope Samsung fixes this before the Atrix drops :D

Anyway, my friend with the EVO loved the speed of my phone, only if I could combine this rom with his GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Do you know which kernel it was? Was it the one that came with the ROM? Or did you flash Steam?
[Captivate Android Development] PotatoJ:

I get FC when I try to change the lockscreen wallpaper from the settings menu.

Otherwise this's a good rom.

GPS works good all the time...the gingerbread menu system works good and

last but no least....there is finally haptic feedback for the ....home button ...working properly in a rom from the go...

I would like to see...gingerbread icons..through out the rom...and multiple lock screens...and some better transitions like the one "darkys 8.0" has....also...little bit stronger haptic feedback for the soft touch keys (like the stock rom)

Just some suggestions for the developer

Will be donating...good work and keep it up...
