[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
it aborts because voodoo is enabled. try disabling it and flash the theme it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Are you sure? I never disabled voodoo to flash a theme before, I usually just boot into recovery and flash themes without any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
I had to do that when i was using axura red souls. For some reason after the new axura updated i kept getting aborted until i disable voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
sigh. All the newer roms being created give me crappy cell signal. it will go out and it wont come back.

dammit.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You just need to find a modem that works well for you.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Hey Mikey, did you ever find out a way to make the screen light up for text notifications with the aosp messaging?
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
I haven't had a problem with jl2 or jk4, or the stock modem in this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I wish I could remember the modems from some of the older AOSP roms.

I just flash without caring. Now I wish i cared before.
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
Yeah, I use it, works great. Only thing is it does use stuff from I9000, for example it themes the Dialer, and so the dialer will have the video call button on it. Granted, there is ways to get by that while still getting the theme but takes a bit of work.

Still my favorite theme though :D
[Captivate Android Development] Yayodroid:
just some feedback that you might already know. i been getting "some" FC's on google something, and insert sim card and reboot. but it only started happening some today. no big deal really, i notice when i get reception it all works fine again. i dont reboot or anything i just keep going and it all starts going again. i still wouldnt trade it for anything. i was just trying to provide some feedback. thanks for the rom and thanks glitter balls for the kernal!:)
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
I used to have the sim problem but found out it was related to jl3 modem. Try jl2 or jk4.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
YOU ROCK MY WORLD in so many ways!! hahaha.... that worked.... Needed a deodexed version.... What is the difference between a rom or software that is deodexed and odexed?

If you have time you can answer that else... no worries! Thanks!

Try Gmote if you have time. Its a really nice piece of android software. I heart it and use it like slingbox.
[Captivate Android Development] balishared:
notification ringtone sounds like a key tone in the dialer, is it normal???

can i come back to it if i change it?

Just flashed to this from Phoenix, and wow im liking this ROM a lot. GPS lock in 8 seconds within 5 meters, battery is looking to be good and its FAST!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That created more questions than answers lol...

Anyways I'm running Serendipity 2.0 with UGJL2 modem and speedmod kernel. So far, I've been able to receive a call. Signal seems to be pretty good too. I'll run it like this for another day and hope it lasts for 12 hours tomorrow. If it doesn't.... I got no phone to use!
[Captivate Android Development] Damager:
Some people seriously don't think before they speak..
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Literally got my Captivate 2 hours ago. FIRST time Android user.

Watched the MobileTechVideos and rooted/put on Serendipity 2.0.

Haven't had ONE issue and running perfectly.

[Captivate Android Development] VentureForth:
Calendar Force Closing

I don't know what app may be causing this, because I have had Serendipity 1.7 since about day 1. But as of yesterday, my calendar is being force closed by Android. Even after market calendars are being force closed. Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) keeps stopping.

Any ideas? Serendipity related?

***DISREGARD***

Deleted all the data in it and it is working now. Something internal to it must have corrupted it. Sorry to disturb this most incredible thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Amazing how many posts of people praising this rom there are...goes to show this is the real deal :)

How much better is battery life with speedmod kernel over glitterballs?
[Captivate Android Development] ghghgh:
More than battery life, speedmod kernel stopped my phone from death of charge. Noticed battery improvement also yesterday with speedmod, but I will give it another few days more to say for sure it made a difference. It lasted all day long.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Mikey just keeps creating user accounts to post positive stuff about his ROM...I know that guy! :D

Seriously this ROM is VERY good indeed.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Pain, huh...

I find it works even better with CoPilot.

I've read a few posts about people getting a Blue Tooth GPS dongle off eBay that hooks to their key chain, and they say it works great. If I get frustrated enough, I'll probably do that.

Regarding Battery Performance

I went back to Assonance 5.2 as I was probably almost the first to put this on and struggled with a few things which are resolved now. Will probably be back to this before long.

Anyway, I ran across another thread on Modems, and read very positive reviews on UGJL2, and have installed that. It is providing the best battery I've experienced so far. I have tried several modems. This one seems pretty good.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Check in the notifications settings and make sure "vibrate" is correctly set. On first flash vibrate is set to never on texts.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I have noticed a dramatic improvement with battery life when I switched to SpeedMod.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Do you know what kernel that happened on? If it was Steam, (green touchscreen recovery) the version included with the ROM, *ahem*, needs to be updated. There were a couple kernels that this issue resurfaced in, and when ROM chefs don't update the kernel, there's only so much I can do. If it was the regular one (red screen at recovery), well, I don't know what to tell you other than I hope you find something that works for you. Fwiw, I've been on the newer oc/uv Steam kernel for four days straight without issue. Ymmv (but hopefully not too much).
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
And if anyone is having battery issues, run a logcat and see if you have some weird processes running when the screen is off. The kernel installed with the ROM (not the optional Steam one) is the same one I used on Doc's ROM before this came out, and my battery was awesome, I could get nearly two days on it with a good amount of use. I haven't tested it too much with this ROM because I've pretty much had my phone plugged in 24/7 trying to get it to crash on my newest oc/uv Steam kernel.

Anyway, if you're running a logcat and your phone is idle, your logcat should usually look like

D/dalvikvm( 3090): GC_EXPLICIT freed 16553 objects / 1354288 bytes in 140ms
D/dalvikvm( 3286): GC_EXPLICIT freed 109 objects / 5496 bytes in 105ms
D/dalvikvm( 3018): GC_EXPLICIT freed 157 objects / 8600 bytes in 87ms
D/dalvikvm( 4083): GC_EXPLICIT freed 3585 objects / 178288 bytes in 53ms

If you see a ton of other processes doing **** while your phone is off, that's where your battery drain is coming from. This is kind of subjective because there will always be other processes, but there were a few things I noticed yesterday that were, I thought, a little unusual.
[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
Can't deal with the charging death.. I'm glad I woke up 3 hours early to find out.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
What kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Does that mean a 2.1 is coming Mikey?
[Captivate Android Development] apewall:
Upgraded to the latest CWM(Not Steam) kernel written by glitterballs and have not had a death charge on it in about 10 recharges.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
It's a non-issue (afaik - about 4 days straight connected to power, no issues for me) with the newest Steam version on my thread. No fn idea why the older one is still packaged with this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I use #7 that comes with this rom and have not had a single charger death in the time I have been running it...the only problem I have is that I get a force close on phone when I get my first call coming out of flight mode. Anyone know if this is kernel or modem related?
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I was using one of your earlier kernels. I don't remember which one, and I was having the phone turn off overnight.

I switched to 010411-3 and didn't have the issue last night so I have hope.

I'm still using assonance because I've been happy with the features and stability etc. There is one bug that I haven't been able to shake.

Occasionally, usually in the mornings my phone loses all the bars and the symbol has the little x on it too. I still have wifi but can't seem to get the cellular radio to come back without rebooting.

Anyone have any hints on what I should be searching for?

If I got this fixed without breaking anything else I would be in heaven.
[Captivate Android Development] ghghgh:
Yes, with Steam green touch recovery included in Serendipity 2.0. I will update to latest Steam soon.
[Captivate Android Development] ptc62:
I am actually getting similar symptoms to what you've stated.. I was actually on perception 99 and was experiencing this, then installed this hoping it would fix this issue... but I got it again this morning...
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
You could be a little more specific about what symptoms you're talking about. If it's losing bars/signal, that's not my problem. If it's shutting down, kernel # / version would help.
[Captivate Android Development] ptc62:
I have only had it (serendipity 2.0 with the loaded steam kernel) loaded for ~22hrs. And I have not had a charge death, in regards to a unwanted shutdown, but my charge death is different... it only seems that when I charge it while I'm sleeping I always wake up with no service (data/cellular).
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Regarding battery life:

Heavy usage about 6-8 hours. Downloading apps, listening to music, and browsing. I still went from a full charge down to 29%. Very pleased because with the amount of usage I was going I thought it would have gone down a hell of a lot faster.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Not "charge death" or a known problem with any of my kernels. I'd guess you need to change modems.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
3.0, actually.

With much more than just new kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ha that sounds good specially because I always use the same kernel so other stuff is what I am looking for! :D
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
That worked for me, thanks.

You might also want to look at Catch from the market (formerly 3banana Notes).

It has a lot more features, like text, image, and video notes, hash-tagging, and automatically syncing all your notes to the cloud (you can access everything from a PC).

And it's free :)

I flashed the speedmod kernel with this rom, incoming calls more than once experienced this problem

reflashed to stock, and flash Serendipity 2.0 but the error still came out

What did I do wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
I installed the steam kernel yesterday, and found my big green battery this morning at 3AM... Good thing the cats started fighting this morning, or I'd have been late for work. :)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
This is my second day using Serendipity 2.0. I replaced glitterballs kernel with SpeedMod. I replaced my market with the themed black market here. I installed the zip through CWM, but after I rebooted I can no longer connect to my wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I had that happen to me once.

I get the feeling it's from Phone.apk being non-JPY (to remove the Video Call after you hang up).

The ideal solution is to figure out how to remove the Video Call button from the JPY Phone.apk... I tried, but my syntax was wrong and it gave me errors.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
It's because of the optimizations on hardcores kernel. Wiping the dalvik cache after installing Speedmod will fix the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Can you make that JPY phone apk available for the ones that do not mind the video call thingy?
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Just rip PHONE.APK and DialerTabActivity.apk from any of the i9000 jpy roms and replace in /system/app. be sure to chmod 644.
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Phone.apk

Was the Phone.apk from 1.0 a jpy?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Oops free thanks =)

Looking at the 1.9 to 2.0 update, it looks like it was CallSetting.apk which changed.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
I wouldn't think so, Mikey's been using the Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity from Ji6 for quite a while on i9000 roms. They work fine, Speedmod really just needs a clean dalvik cache.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
grab the jk4 modem from post #2 here--> Modem Thread

Also, Speedmod really requires your dalvik cache be cleared.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Now that you mention it, I think I was giving speedmod a try when it happened.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
neither helped. Still no wifi. I even rebooted my router.
[Captivate Android Development] kr3w1337:
What's the reason for not making a no wipe version all the way through?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Just wanted to send out my thanks to MikeyMike and all the others that contribute their time to make all of our captivates run happier. I was on assonance 4.3 until I switched to this and I'm very happy so far. I was annoyed with a wifi problem that I was having with 4.3 where using the notification bar to enable it wouldn't work half the time and I'm pleased to say with Serendipity enabling wifi is working flawlessly. Also, I like how you included optional .apks in the first post, it shows that you (Mikey) are considerate and really care about the consumers of your product and are out here to make us happy (not to mention your roms kick ass). A lot of the time it's the small things that make you go hmmm that's freakin awesome. Hell it saved 20 minutes of my life hunting down the right .apk's. You rock bro.
[Captivate Android Development] eortizr:
awesome rom, love it... thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
This is undoubtedly the best ROM out there for the Captivate.

Only problem: JPY browser is terrible. Hopefully someone comes up with a fix.

Good job Mikey!
[Captivate Android Development] sjkoellner:
+1 for wiping dalvik cache, I do it every time I do a kernel swap and haven't had a problem. In fact the only time I did is when I didn't do it, pissed me off so bad I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out what I screwed up!

Sent from me using this thing
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I read a post about it but I am confused of what issues people are having...some one said it was impossible to post on forums and I posted with zero problems for example...
[Captivate Android Development] PSUfan:
Guys, you think the Captivate community is pissed off about the GPS not working...I just got off the Garmin forums and they are even more pissed off that their Garmin GPS units keep dropping calls! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
For the record I have been on glitterballs steam kernel ever since I have been on this rom and I get that force close every time I come out of flight mode...so its not just the speedmod kernel that causes that...
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
What does wiping this cache do. I've only done this once in my many months of flashing.

Is it possible to add in a re-send text message with your next build? I tried to send a text out today but it failed on me for some reason. I tried to resend it but no such option exists.

Anyways been using Serendipity 2.0 with JL2 modem and SpeedMod kernel with all the battery recommendations. I bump charged it and used it for just under 12 hours. Still got 30% battery life. Imo, I was using the phone pretty heavily today. Lots of WiFi, Angry Birds, eBuddy, and stuff.

If someone doesn't like this post, I'll fix it up later. Dinner now!

Edit: I forgot to mention, I used the music player for like 1.5 hours as well. Also a bit of 3G.

And it'd be great if you can add in an equalizer in the future.
[Captivate Android Development] sup3rus3r:
My first time flashing a custom ROM

and just wanted to say that my experience so far with serendipity has been great. much longer battery life and much faster. i can't believe i waited so long to get rid of at&t's bloated ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
there is a way to resend you just hit the red triangle icon next to the message personally i like the resend method better on the samsung mms
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
FC and External SD

This is the same issue I have been having. This happens about once a day and has been happening since going from 1.9 to 2.0. I fixed permission and cleared cache but still persists.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Tap the exclamation point and it puts the message text back. Then just tap send.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Awesome, learn something new every day! I'm waiting patiently for 3.0 - I'm all backed up and ready to go :)
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I must warn you Mikey doesn't rush these things :-) which is a good thing. We knew about serendipity a good week before it was released.
[Captivate Android Development] cbruce80:
You can clear it from the CW Recovery screen. Go to Advanced -> Clear Dalvik Cache
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
In the advanced menu of recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] kr3w1337:
I must ask again, why not have a consistent no wipe ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Reboot to recovery --> Advanced --> Clear Dalvik Cache --> Reboot
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Clearing the Dalvik cache didn't fix the FC issue for me either...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I dunno if this is a bug or not, but when I receive a text and the phone is in sleep mode, the phone doesn't come out of sleep mode to notify me that I have a text.

Yes I know I can use BLN and stuff, but I don't want to, as I like having my screen come on when I receive a text. If the phone is in my pocket, then I have NoLED turned on to notify me that I received a text.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Use the Samsung MMS app.

I'm ditching the AOSP one for 3.0, in favor of a skinned Samsung one. That way the 4 lockscreens will work. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Oh so right now, this is the AOSP SMS and not the original Samsung? How do I change it?

I guess I can always keep NoLED running.

And since I'm here, I might as well post this despite being a bit off topic. I, including others are running Serendipity 2.0 with SpeedMod kernel and JL2 modem. However it's been said many times that you should run Captivate kernel with Captivate modem, and i9000 modem with i9000 kernel. So what we did here is mix and match the models didn't we? How is it running so "flawlessly" if we did mix and match?
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Well if been using serendipity since its release the updates haven't needed us to wipe to update.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Mikey, I'm not a request kinda guy but any chance for custom boot animations in 3.0? You've done such a great job of getting rid of the other i9000's stuff in serendipity. I realize if we flash another kernel we will lose the animations but how about putting it in the default one?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
usually mikey just changes small things in the updates. If he changes the kernel like he said he was in 3.0 there may be a wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The point of that would be?

You can go from 1.0 to 2.0 without wiping anything.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You can put whatever boot animation you want in. Unless you mean the i9000 screen, in which case you'd have to talk to Glitterballs about that.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
That actually is what I was talking about. Hey GB, you listening, uh reading :) ?

[Captivate Android Development] :
Well I unzipped this rom, added the files that I wanted in the correct location (I wanted the Samsung MMS with ASOP icon, gtalk and SGS tools). I rezipped it back up and then proceeded to do the steps to flash. My zip would not work, but the original 2.0 did work.

Does anybody have the Samsung MMS with ASOP icons apk, the gtalk apk so that I can just install those?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
They are both in the OP under add-ons...just download them to your computer and unzip them...put them on your SD card then move them to system/apps...alot easier than reflashing the whole rom.
