So I flashed the steam kernel. When I boot into recovery I don't see anywhere to tweak anything, change lag options etc. all I see is reboot, apply update, wipe cache etc. Am I missing something? I know it's touch screen, I know pushing power button scrolls through the 0 1 2 3 on the top of the screen, but all that comes up is info about the phone that I can't adjust. What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Sounds like we're gonna need an updated Froyo kernel now...

That kernel/recovery is deprecated at this point. I'd recommend staying on CWM.

Well I got tired of my battery drain on MIUI and decided to come back to a 2.2 rom. I tried Serendipity twice, and both times it locked up for me during install only showing the AT&T World Phone screen and wouldn't move past that. If you have any suggestions that would be great!
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Sounds like a bootloader issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
How do I fix that? I was on MIUI so maybe that's the problem? I did flash back to stock and master cleared first.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Odin one click should reinstall stock bootloaders. Try it again.
[Captivate Android Development] conundrum768:
Can't hurt to do this. I always go back to stock when I flash (including a master clear). It doesn't take that much longer and can prevent difficult-to-trace problems, like this, from showing up.

[Captivate Android Development] sinizter:
Nope. Follow the instructions from step 1 on the website.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
True, but you don't have to flash back to stock or anything. Follow those instructions exactly and you'll have no problem whatsoever.
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
Unless I suck at reading, which could be it, it doesn't say yes or no, and the first question in the FAQ:

Do I have to flash back to stock?

No. Never. Never again.

Seems a bit misleading

If you read the instructions, it's pretty clear what you have to do. Just follow them.

850 Band

Will having my modem set for the 850 band only burn more battery ? I'm getting great speed but it seems my battery is not lasting as long (during idle).

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
What modems have u tried? 850 shouldn't effect anything. It will however, drain your battery when you move. When the phone moves from tower to tower it go's into search. That's the batt drain time.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is true once you've flashed your first GB rom.

It may be, but search the "Captivate Android Development" section and search flashing to GB

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I did not flash back to stock coming from Serendipity 6.4 to Gingerbread. I followed the instructions exactly as Mikey and Chance posted them. And I'm a big chicken about bootloaders, it went flawlessly.
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
I'm using JK4. I guess your are correct because for the past 3 hours the phone has not moved and the battery didn't drain like it did. While i was driving today it drained alot faster. So i guess the best thing to do is put the Band setting back to AUTOMATIC. Last night with 850 only i hit 6.1 d/l on a speedtest, fastest i have ever seen..
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:

Yes.

If you wanted a blank slate you could flash stock gingerbread, but flashing with Odin is needlessly risky.

Gingerbread is smooth as butter. I didn't think I would make the change without call recording, but on one boring day, i tried it out and kept it. Also using talon kernel, not even undervolted yet and I can go a full day with at least 3 hours display, and 1 hour calls. Also using juwe11's new optimized memory script, pretty good!

How do you turn off the menu, home, back, and search keys from lighting up when you have a notification such as a text?

Use BLN control app from market to disable or boot into recovery and disable BLN altogether.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
How does it 'lag' for you? I've seen a smoothness and quickness, no lag here - but I do use Launcher Pro Plus. That default launcher just doesn't do it for me, that's where I notice lag.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
I am back on this rom as well. I use FPse with my phone and the GB roms run it like crap. Sound stutters and lag while the games run perfect in Serendipity 6.4.

I am going to hold off for a while and hope that they somehow fix these performance issues I have been experiencing with FPse.

Sigh, I just want one rom that does not have any issues that bother me. With Serendipity 6.4, I randomly get HW button presses after unlocking the phone. This is very intermittent however it is extremely annoying. Also, there are no longer any updates rolling out for the 2.2.1 i9000 roms or kernels.

I would go with Cognition (though I love the look of Serendipity) but it does not support HSUPA

With Gingerbread roms, FPse runs like crap but I dont have to **** with it, it just works. No random button presses at all.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Yep, tried TalonDEV but not the BigMem one.

Not really lag but you can notice it when switching apps. When you return to the previous app, it's like opening it for the first time and takes a while to load. Tried to reflash it but still the same. Idk if that makes any sense to you guys. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Thank you so much. The back light notification was bothering me.

Is anyone having problems with phone signal? I've always gotten 3 bars in my apartment, but after using Serendipity, I've been experiencing a lot of 1 bars. If I reboot, it will go back to 3. It's causing me battery drain which sucks cause I love nearly everything about this rom

I have flashed a lot of different things between ROMs, modems, bootloaders (gingerbread), but I have never flashed a kernel. I would like to try the Onix kernel because I want one that is able to be OC/UV, is this ROM compatible with this kernel? If not, can someone help me with the most stable OC/UV kernel for this ROM? I really appreciate it.

Just got done t-shooting cable issue (in case anyone else is interested in using Cappy TV-out). Serendipity does support 3.5mm tv out. If you have the right 3.5mm cable (i had to use one with Red/White/Yellow leads) it will work. Most cables with only 2 leads (W/Y) didn't work for me.

Oh and don't follow the TV's color coding. I had to plug the red lead to the video.

[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
I have a friend that really likes the CRT animation on my Serendipity 7 ROM, but he likes that 6.4 is so much more mature. Can he flash the 'Enable CRT Lock.Zip' from the thread 'Flash Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE Updated (again) 4/25/11' and have the CRT effect on 6.4?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
No. There is a 99% chance that he won't ever be able to get it on 6.4, or any froyo rom for that matter.
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
What is the limitation keeping this from functioning for 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Well Google just added that animation in gingerbread and built it in pretty deep, so it would be difficult to backport it.

There's one guy in the Xperia Arc (maybe?) forum that's working on porting it to froyo, but even if he figures it out, no one that I know of in the Captivate and i9000 sections is willing to work on froyo anymore.

You can install the new 3.0 beta. Check out the last few pages of the Serendipity VII thread and there are some instructions.

[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
fyi after i rebooted my phone after using TiBu to uninstall swype and re-installing via their swype installer i got nothing but force closes

so i had to uninstall swpe and the installer again (using android's uninstall)

then reinstall w/ the swype install and all seemed well.

this was on 5.3

however right now i am flashing 6.4 so i will have to do this all again.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
same deal after a fresh flash of 6.4, use TiBu to uninstall swype, install w/ the swype beta installer, reboot and you will get force closes, uninstall w/ application management, reboot, reinstall with swype beta. now i have 3.6 and it is pretty sweet.
[Captivate Android Development] gluvox:
For the past couple of weeks, my battery life is has gone down. It used to be great.

probably a rogue app doing something stupid you installed

so what is the deal? is 6.4 and serendipity dead? mikey usually got fixes out in < 24 hours so I was thinking a swype patch would be available.

now that CM7 is RC1... I think i am going to try that b/c tons of people have been raving.

I will say that serendipity 6.4 fixed my GPS issues though.

Post 12,771... I think I'm going to get lost in this ocean.

I had to replace my I897. My old one still works except for the external speaker. It runs Serendipity 6.2. I'm trying to flash 6.4 to the new phone. I cannot get to to do anything like what is described on this forum, serendipity.com, or the Odin3 thread. All I can ever get is the android recovery screen.

I have used both mirrors to download update.zip. the only way I could get the android recovery screen to open it was to copy it to the root dir. It opened it, starts to verify update package, then gives me

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

I can get it to connect with Odin3 only when it is booted in the stock rom. Then of course Odin gets stuck.

I remember it being a pain when I flashed my old phone too. Why is it so effing difficult? Most people that say they got it to work gives us vague or incomplete information.

I've been attempting and researching this for over two hours.:mad: Help please.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
What .zip are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] tweakedlogic:

[Captivate Android Development] gil516:
cappys with stock froyo installed have 3e recovery installed instead of 2e. 3e runs a signature verification on the file you are trying to flash, hence the error. if you are on stock 2.2, try using odin3 one click to return to 2.1, or you can extracting the file attached and try installing it according to the instructions on this link:

So I finally got it to work. :D This is what I did.

I couldn't do anything without root, and I had a hard time rooting until I found this.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-samsung-captivate-and-vibrant-with-a-single-click/

After I was rooted, I moved recovery to system/bin as per instructions from this thread (thank you gil516 and existz). I used Root Explorer to do this.

Then I used the update.zip file supplied from the webpage. I again used root explorer to copy it and serendipity 6.4 to the internal sd card home directory (not root directory). I ran the update.zip file twice to get into clockwork recovery mode. Selected the serendipity file and flashed the phone. :):D

I have since restored using Titanium Backup, but unfortunately it doesn't restore the links and widgets I had on the desktop, :( so that will take some time to remember what I had.

But after many frustrating hours, thanks to your help I was able to flash my new phone. Now to flash the old one to stock.

Edit:

I stumbled across a post some where that had a full proof way of getting into download mode. I lost the page so I can't offer credit, but thanks to that guy.

remove battery, sim card and memory card.

launch Odin

plug in USB cable to computer and phone

Hold down volume up + down

then install battery

It immediately entered download mode. I tried to find the page again so I could give the guy credit, but it has eluded me.
