[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
Is it possible to download other themed swypes, or uninstall the one that's in the rom (so I can install the "official" swype-inc version)? I have been off on other roms for months now and coming back to serendipity but have gotten used to having a swype where I can easily see the alt chars on the keys and having them red or blue vs black does not help much. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Yes it is possible to use the official swype but you not only have to uninstall swype but there are a few swype files that also need to be deleted before you can install the official version.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Again with the pink... heh.

Anyway, the wipes are for a reason. I'd rather not be wasting time chasing down and/or fixing botched updates or people who don't flash the updates correctly or blah blah blah.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Completely understand.What I love about you is that you don't do things half way, and I blindly trust you when it comes to Android development!!

Wipes are not a problem, I'm just lazy :o

And hey, ok, I'll drop the pink theme and trade it for the purple :D

There are more guys willing to rock a purple theme, while not so many are willing to take the pink plunge :p

Why is it that every day when I try to play music or watch a video, it says "the player does not support this file type" and doesn't play the media? It works fine after a restart, but the problem persists every day. I even tried using the stock music and video player, but still same problem.

help please
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
What type of file are you trying to play?

I would try and wipe cache partition/ Dalvik Cache.

It always helps when I have a problem I can't figure out.
[Captivate Android Development] overkillogi:
I try to play normal MP3 files, nothing out of the ordinary.

I also don't know what a cache partition or Dalvik is. I'm not as 1337 as most people on this forum are :/
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
1.Press and hold the power button, hit Recovery, Wait til you get to a weird screen with green text.

2.Use Volume up/down to move and power to enter/select

3. Go down to advance clockwork mod, select wipe dalivk cache

4. Hit go back

5. Now select wipe cache partition

6. Finally go up and hit reboot system

Your phone will take a really long time booting up. Don't do anything to it.

This may help this may not help, but considering you've never done it, it's probable best to anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] overkillogi:
Trying now. Will this wipe any other memory or just the cache? Basically all my stuff will stay?

edit: just did it, worked fine. Idk if it fixed the problem though, that will have to wait until tomorrow since it always magically happens the next day. Thanks for your help! also helped free up some RAM space. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Everything will be the same. I'm actually not sure what it does. But yesturday I was having a problem with my keyboard. Did what I said above and it fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
So I've used this rom amongst all the others in the Captivate development section, like everyone else, I love this Rom & trust everything Mikey puts out.(kinda drunk bare with me.0

My co-worker just got a captivate for the 2nd time, he lost his first one & hasn't had android since), he's never done any flashing or modifying to the phone whatsoever.

Me, the flashaholic I am, convinced him to let me put this rom on his phone(he's the most un-trusting person EVER so this is a pretty big deal with this guy), he LOVES it. He's approaching me at work & asking questions about his phone like never before.

Just wanted to share this story of the extent of the work done on these forums and how far out in the world it goes.

Thank you for Mikey for not being a dumbass and putting out legit stuff. I hope your work doesn't end here Mikey, you have potential not just in phone development but many things beyond what you've probably imagined. I see great things for you in your future.

Thanks for being you.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Lol did you just drunk dial Mikey! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] jozymozy:

Some things to try when Market isn't working right:

FIRST MAKE A BACKUP in CWM!!

Sign into Google Voice.

Sign into Google Talk/GTalk.

Clear Market data with TiBu (or in Settings > Applications > Manage > Market).

Clear cache in CWM recovery.

SGS Tools > MarketFix.

Uninstall and reinstall GTalk.

Uninstall Market Updater, and see if it works. If it does, use Titanium Backup to freeze Market Updater.

Clear data for Download Manager and Google Services Framework; CWM clear Dalvik cache. DANGEROUS!

Last resort: Delete GMail account (Factory Reset of phone Data)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Watch out! LOL :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Still not ready to try the GB roms so I grabbed the secret wallpapers from SGS II and install on serendipity and they're working. The weather widget won't work and froze/locked up my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
Being completely honest i know they say beta, but they aren't that hard to flash/use. just make sure you follow instructions. though if you just like where you are, you aren't missing too much yet. it's nothing like the eclair to froyo jump as far as i can tell
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Your problem is the fact that those apps are system apps, and they can't just be installed like normal as far as im aware. If you use adb to push the files to /system/app

You should have better luck then.

I seen something on calibration the battery....i just need to know how
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
BATTERY Calibrate

You should see some results from doing the following:

1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

7. Delete /data/system/batterystats.bin or use recovery mode to delete battery stats

SD Card Unmounting

Just want to report that since flashing to 2.0, about once a day, my phone un-mounts the external SD and requests that I reboot. I have already cleared Dalvik Cache and fixed permissions. Anyone else experiencing this??
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Is it okay to change the bootani in this rom??
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Yes. I changed mine to the nexus s boot animation. But make sure if you are using stream recovery that in the boot options, its set to use the android boot animation. Our else you won't see it.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
How can I change the sleep policy? I want my wifi to turn off while it's on sleep..
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
I flashed the newest speedmod kernel with this rom. Learned that voltage control app no longer works. says it isnt compatible? What do I need to do to make it work? am I still OC with speedmod? I've flashed plenty roms but obviously new to kernels lol
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Is this the WiFi fix?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056736&postcount=6706
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
Hardcore's kernel doesn't allow for OC/UV, so there's nothing you can do to make it compatible with that app...aside from flashing another OC/UV kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Go into your wifi settings, hit menu and go to advanced and you will see your sleep policy...change it to sleep with the screen off is what I use and my battery is great...

Speedmod kernel is not OC'd...you will have to use glitterballs or Setirons to get OC/UV ability I believe so you will need to flash one of them kernels to get voltage control to be needed...

Yes...flash the one that says JPA at the end in clockwork and see if that helps your battery...
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I changed mine to the Scribble animation without the dots below it, and it worked fine. I'm assuming any other custom boot animations should also work fine in that case.

EDIT: Cot'daymn, I really need more caffeine. My bad for the duplicate answer, silverslotcar/Delgoth. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Thanks man! So the WiFi fix and sleep policy will somehow fix the draining issue?
[Captivate Android Development] eyekyu:
awesome, installed flawlessly ... how do i change the wallpaper, its not lettin me
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Switching to JPA firmware is what is supposed to fix the supposed wifi drain...changing the sleep policy is just a great thing to do unless for some reason you need the Wifi to stay on while your screen is off for some reason...I turn off Wifi and turn on airplane mode at night and lose 1 percent in 8 hours...compared to leaving data on and losing 8 to 10 percent. I havent tried it with data on and the JPA wifi on yet but I may try it tonight just to see how it does...
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Wallpaper is changing fine for me...what error is it giving you when trying to change?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I hear you. Thanks man for the explanation. :D

More Apps than I want!

Riddle me this... When I first upgraded to Serendipity I flashed back to stock, master cleared and loaded a fresh zip. Everything ran smoothly until I get my phone set up with all my apps. I normally use Go Launcher therefore set my phone up with this as the default launcher. Here's the problem, when the phone comes out of sleep/standby mode I have apps on top of apps on all home screens. I delete them but they always come back. Here's what I did, I went into Steam Recovery and cleared cache (couldn't find 'fix permissions') so I used the backup kernel and rebooted into CWM recovery and again cleared all cache and fixed permissions. It is still doing it. What do ya'll think is causing this? Do you think it's a kernel issue with one of my apps, possibly Go Launcher. I've thought about using a different kernel all together but thought I would ask the experts before I went any futher. Thanks for any advice!
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Just waiting for more bugs to be fixed. :p

I also want fully functional TouchWiz 4, especially the zoom feature by holding two fingers on the screen and moving the phone towards or away.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
That's how I feel. I've tried mikeys and cezars and I miss serendipity. GB is really nothing that spectacular. The battery is no where near as good and the charging bug is annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
I searched in here but didn't find it. I just updated my friend from 6.2 to 6.4 today and he told me just now that his power menu doesn't come up anymore, just reboots or shuts off the phone. I can use the 3 button recovery on his phone so if all I have to do is reflash the update then we're good. I also cleared dalvik cache prior to 6.4 so I don't know if that's what caused it or not.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Take pictures with power button and it will magically return. :D
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
The only thing I want from GB is the CRT animation and the overscroll glow. Lol. Other than that, pretty much the same with Froyo. I guess I'll be going back to Froyo, to Serendipity of course.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Tried the email and the email widget from sgs II, they fc. shall I try GR's camera?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Me too! Thats exactly what I was thinking. But I'm just waiting it out. Mikey "secretly" has a solution to us Serendipity fans getting our GB fix. Not sure what though but he's been hinting up a storm. LOL Lets pressure him into telling us!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yea, pressure has always worked so well on Mikey! :eek: :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
LOL. It's worth a try! Mikey if you don't tell me..I'll...I'll........why is BLN baked into this ROM. God it's such garbage.

Yeah that's right I brought it back up! Now tell me!

Nah I'm just messing, I trust it'll be a great surprise. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So I tried GR-11 coming from Continuum and I must say, it's smooooth! Dunno why but when I was on Continuum, I can feel the lag and all of that shtuff but on GR-11 it was pretty smooth. Idk if it's also kernel related but I'll try Talon just to be sure since I used that on Continuum. I think I'm gonna stick with GR-12 for some time and let's see what will happen.

iptables support

Does Serendipity 6.4 (on Speedmod) have iptables/netfilter support?

Trying to set up Orbot on my Captivate. It claims to set up correctly, with root and all, and after doing a "Check" says "Sorry. You are not using Tor."

The site recommends a ROM with iptables support (e.g. Cyanogen) for the transparent proxy; I'm wondering if Serendipity has it.

[Captivate Android Development] lmaoxlong:
Thanks a lot, both of you! Would this work on Mikey's Gingerbread ROM as well?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
It should although the bootanimation might be located in a different folder. But if you find it and replace it, it doesn't really change anything to ruin your phone. Its just pictures and a sequence file. Something like that.

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
What, if anthing;) are you running on the ARIA?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Did you make a backup?

Remove batt, sd card and sim. Plug phone in and press power (don't expect anything to happen) unplug phone. Put batt in and restart. Let the phone completely reboot. Shut it down COMPLETELY, now install sim and restart.

If this does not work your sim may be spent. You simply go to your at&t store and ask for a new one.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
My auto-rotate broke yesterday. I'm going to flash Continuum today or tomorrow, so should I just go ahead and flash and hope it fixes the problem, or attempt to figure out whats going on first?
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
This is good advice. ^

Way back, when I first got my Blackjack I, I had a similar issue and assorted other issues. After 2 weeks of problems and trips to att store (and almost smashing it with a hammer) I asked them to give me a new SIM, they obliged and success was had. No reason other than dumb luck I stumbled across it (att did not even suggest it, they were extremely useless). That SIM has been with me through 4 phones now :) Its never a bad idea to get a new one especially if having actual service related issues as it is quick and painless.

My better half had her Sim go out about a year ago, similar circumstances. It happens, not common but does happen.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I have 4 Cappy's in my family. When I started flashing it was always recommended to remove the sim, so every phone and every flash caused damage to 2 of them.
[Captivate Android Development] jlt220:
Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I have better battery life on GR-12 then I did on serendipity, The first day on serendipity it looked like i could go for 40 hours, then i never got more than 12.

On Gr-12 'm getting upwards of 20. but that could be that I'm using it less now then I was on Serendipity. who knows.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Try a factory reset that fixed mine a while back.

I've always taken out the sim and the sd card when doing a full flash, but I haven't when I'm just flashing a zip update - I hope that's ok. :eek:

Yeah, that's because it's a metamorph not a cwr flashable zip.

Yep, I know. That's why it's a no go for me unless someone can modify the lockscreen to match with MattedBlues.

Battery Drain

I absolutely love this rom, had it now for almost 10 days, my biggest gripe with it is that the battery seems to drain more than usual compared to stock and all the other custom roms I've tried.

Before anyone asks, yes wifi and gps are off and I've already tried calibrating my battery twice. When the phone is on standby it drains about 1% every hour (everything else I've tried normally drains 1% every 3-4 hours). When I check the battery usage to see what's eating it up, I usually see something like:

Display - 60%

Cell Standby - 30%

Phone Idle - 10%

Cell Standby always seems high so I tried flashing a different modem but its made no difference. Any ideas would be nice, this is the only thing keeping me from sticking with this rom. Thanks.
