Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME

Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager

Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow

Please note before posting:

I didn't intend for this thread to be about people's opinions of Darky's ROM, for or against, outside of the signal strength issue. If we're being reasonable, I think we can all agree that the ROM has its strengths and weaknesses. It would be appreciated if people try to limit discussion to the ROM misreporting signal strength and the mod I have provided that corrects the issue. You can create a separate thread if you want to voice your opinion of Darky's ROM. Thanks.

Update

: According to Darky, as of v9.x, his ROM now uses the default/correct signal bars. A definite win for users.

About the issue:

I recently discovered that all versions of Darky's ROM (at least the Gingerbread Edition) over-report signal strength for both the phone and wi-fi. Darky did not improve signal strength of the device, but replaced some of the images when making his theme, such that:

Stock SGS -> Darky's ROM

No signal = no signal

0 bars = 0 bars

1 bar = 2 bars

2 bars = 3 bars

3 bars = 4 bars (full)

4 bars = 4 bars (full)

This can easily be confirmed by extracting framework-res.apk from Darky's ROM (from /system/framework/), and then extracting stat_sys_signal_x.png, stat_sys_signal_x_cdma.png and stat_sys_wifi_signal_x.png (from /res/drawable-hdpi/), where x is the number of signal bars there should be. You can then just look at the images Darky uses.

In the thread for Darky's ROM, this is poorly described under 'Various features' as "Fixed signal bars for better reception". On his new website, this is somewhat better described under 'Features' as "Fixed Signal Bars [shows higher reception]".

I have posted twice in his thread about the matter, with no response (admittedly, it is a huge thread where posts can be missed). If Darky posts in this thread or contacts me about it, I'll post his reasoning for the decision in this first post.

Update: Darky's response

About this modification:

For those who would prefer their phone and wi-fi signal strength to be reported as it was intended, I have created a zip file that can be applied in ClockworkMod Recovery. I would call this a fix, but as it is clearly a design decision and not a mistake by Darky, I have classified it as a modification. The icons come straight from the Nexus S (Gingerbread), just like Darky's.

Instructions and download links can be found in the second post.

Note: This is only for people running the default theme in Darky's ROM. If you are running one of R64's battery mods, see my second post. If you have applied a different theme to your phone, you can check if this is also the case for the theme you are using by checking the files as described above. You can then contact the creator of your theme. If they are unwilling to change their theme or offer you a mod like this one, you can let me know and I'll see if I can create one for you. This will mainly depend on whether their signal strength icons are original or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Thanks for pointing that out here. I've found out that the stat_sys_xxx_signal_1.png is actually stat_sys_xxx_signal_2.png but was too lazy to edit the img files. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ickyboo:
Thanks for this fix mate!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
I was a darky user for v4 and also tried v8 just for kicks, I do remember he added this on his change logs before about fixing the signal but its was stated as just an indicator fix and not a real world fix and evenually that information was gone and a lot of people assumed his ROM has better reception, I agree with kalpik on this one also isnt it amazing his ROM is 2.3.1 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
thanks for the info man
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cloudstripe:
That would explain why using Darky's V8. I have a pull signal but the reception is bad :(

Thanks mate for pointing this out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BigMc71:
I'm guessing you got this from my post on the 5th in the captivate forum. I'm glad to point it out on several rom but only intended to educate people.on what they had and what it meant. Not a drama pool.

No, I discovered it when looking through the ROM itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dean-O:
If Darky's ROM were only a theme I would agree. As it stands, in this forum section there is a ROM that modifies the way signal strength is reported, an issue people should be aware of for the ROM. This thread then offers a solution for people who don't want it to do that, which is not the same as offering an alternative theme, imo.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tethu:
He explained in one of his posts a while ago the reason why he changed the reception it was something to do with the phone setting not displaying proper signals ,he explained more about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kiekeboeboe:
thanks for this well explained information.

I didnt know that the reception signals were "overrated" int that way. I really thought there was a "better" reception :(

well done! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kiekeboeboe:
LOL :D, I was thinking the same, at my office, I've bad reception, so it's even worse :eek: LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prankey:
BINGO! Thanks for working on this. Hope the fix work. I also posted TWICE informing him of the cosmetic bug. Seems he wants us to believe that his ROM gives us better signal strength :)

With every release, I was hoping that he fix this. However other than 8.1, all the earlier versions are affected. I even tried factory reset as recommended by him to see if that fixes the issue, no go.

+1 You should watch out about what you say about Windows Mobile in an Android forum(Oh and what ever you do, don't say the word "iPhone") because there are some crazy people out there. And it's pretty obvious what your answer is going to be, if you were to ask someone if WM is better than Android in an Android forum then every one is going to say Android but if you ask which is better in an WM forum, people would say that WM is better.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontornblom:
Funny how that is.

The real answer seems to depend on personality, since they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

For me, it's all about being able to tinker and customize in Android, but i would never suggest it for someone like my wife, just cuz a phone is a different thing for her. Her unnamed device is perfect for her, but not for me.

that being said, it's UI is buttery smooth. one thing at a time smooth. ONE desktop/window manager/whatever at a time. one app. 1. uno.

i was surprised just how smooth the UI was when i toyed with one. it really is smooth. like butter. butter on a sidewalk. don't wanna fry much on a sidewalk, it'll get in your teeth, ya know ?

I was going to bash WP7 as well, but i figured i ought not too.... However, not to "bash them" pers'e, One of my REALLY good buddies got a Win7 phone, and HATED it, turned it back in after 2 weeks of using it.

I played around with it... and although yes, it was "buttery" smooth (which was REALLY nice)... that was about all it had for it.. what bugged me the most about it... ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, Absolutely NO customization/personalization.... And to me, that's a huge deal. Now for someone that doesn't want/need all that Personalization, or customization, i would say it is a nice phone.... it is VERY smooth.

ever since i had a tmobile wing and att 8525 with wm5 i wont go back. same thing when i had a blackberry.

it seems i went from worst operating system and kept moving to better ones.

random nokia phone -> att 8525 -> blackberry 8320 -> blackberry 8900 -> motorola cliq -> g2

finally i got a phone that does almost everything exactly how i want. I wish the buttons on my g2 worked like the blackberry ones. with forward/reverse track and pause/play >< but at least its fast as hell and all my emulators work perfectly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nissan350:
I have both the G2 and the HD7. Love them both equally. Android for its customization abilities and WP7 for its simplicity. why discriminate? some days i feel like an android guy and some days i feel like a WP7 guy. Life is too short to have just one phone let alone one OS :P

[Captivate Accessories] isilber:
So I know there are a couple of posts on here but I have found them a little hard to follow. I just got my captivate last sunday and on the stock 2.1 rogers rom I noticed that the battery life was very poor. Since then I am now running cog 3.01 i think and my battery life is now alot longer than before.

For the way I would like to use my phone It is still not enough for what would make me happy. my phone is unplugged at 6:00 am and when i get home by 5 it used to be dead but after "breaking in the battery" and the new rom i get home with about %15 percent battery.

I just bought a triple battery pack off of ebay for $10. these batteries are rated at 1500 mAh, the same as the battery that came with my phone. I am just wondering what I can expect from these batteries.

My plan is to drain two of them completely then leave them in my desk drawer(from what I have read if you plan on storing batteries they should be completely drained first) and use one of them plus my oem battery daily(until they start to lose performance). Again does anyone have any experience with a battery of the sort or any similar third party battery?
[Captivate Accessories] neotekz:
they are no where as good as samsung oem battery. even though it says 1500mah it is not or will drop drastically after a month or so of use...i've bought a lot of those batteries from ebay and they always like that even some other well known companies like Seidio do not compare with manufacture's batteries. the difference is usable capacity, oem batteries are around 95% compared to cheap chinese ones that are anywhere from 60-80%.
[Captivate Accessories] isilber:
haha thanks that makes sense why they are so cheap, well i will probs by three new ones every months or so.
[Captivate Accessories] Saelee:
I have those ebay batteries. I bought the kit that comes with two batteries and an external charger for about $10.

The ebay battery is has about 60-70% of the power of the OEM battery. I have no real hard evidence just from using it for the past 2 months or so.

I am ok that it is does not last as long as OEM because it was only $10 and it came with the external charger. I love the external charger because it allows me to charge a spare battery while I keep one in my phone.
[Captivate Accessories] Rrryan2:
I bought the same ensemble, with essentially the same results excepting perhaps that one of my replacement batteries seems to underperform with about 40% of OEM battery life.

That said, for $10... they're very handy as backups. They'll easily give you a few more hours in a pinch, which is essentially just what I was looking for. I really have no complaints in that respect.

The best strategy for battery life I've found is to buy a handful of wall adapters and position them in places you spend a lot of time at, and to develop a habit of plugging in when you're not moving around.

Sad but true, but mediocre battery life is just kind of a way of life for these (and really all) high-performance Android devices. Excepting getting an outsized and expensive battery replacement like the Seidio 3500 mAh that all but prevents use with many accessories and cases, a couple wall chargers and a car charger are effective if mildly annoying means of managing it.

These generic Hong Kong replacements are entirely effective as emergency supplements, but you'll find yourself preferring the OEM cell still.
[Captivate Accessories] shaolin95:
Yep I mean for $20 I have two charges and 4 batteries so if I need to go without power , even if not a 100% match for the oem power, it is still damn cheap.
[Captivate Accessories] fluidd:
I also got one of these from ebay.

I got the 2x 1500mah batteries + Battery Charger combo.

I must say I am impressed. They are the same quality as my OEM battery. Its so convenient. I never have to run to a charger anymore. Just keep the spare battery in my car or wherever and just pop it in and carry on with my daily business.

When I get home, I just re-charge all the batteries. The Battery Charger even has an LED Light that tells you when its finished. "RED: while charging" and "BLUE: when finished". Charging takes about roughly 3 hours, (just like OEM).

Edit: Been using this for about a month so far. With no problems.. Its the best feeling. My phone is never plugged in anymore. And, I don't have to "pinch the settings" to make my phone last.

IE. lowering brightness to 10%, turning sync off, turning wireless networks off, etc.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

only crappy thing is??? I plan to sell this phone soon, when the Galaxy S 2 comes out, if the specs are good enough.
[Captivate Accessories] tamanaco:
Would you mind posting the link or giving us the name of the exact vendor you ordered from?... I'm about to order the 2xbatteries and charger combo, but just want to make sure I get batteries that are half way decent. When I search on eBay I get about 20 vendors selling similar combos and given that in HK they're celebrating Chinese New Year... most won't fulfill orders until next week.
