Ok just to give everyone a heads up on whats taking me so long on kernel update. My original dev machine was my laptop that had the hd go out so I was using a usb external as the main drive(SLOW). I recently got a new internal hd for it and am in the process of setting everything backup. Work also has gotten busy and has been taking up my dev time. Laptop is ready to go now so as soon as I can get some time from work I'll get the next kernel updates ready. Sorry for the wait.
[Captivate Android Development] hkk:
I have been running this ROM for the past ~10 days, and it's great. Love the theme, specially the dialer, and the swype keyboard color.

Couple of issues. I have had these issues with other ROMs also, so it might be a problem with my phone.

- Call dropping happens quite a bit. Again doesn't happen always.

- sometimes the audio from the phone stops coming thru, everything including call rings and notifications. Tried changing to silent mode and back, doesn't help. Ringer volume is set high. Only thing that fixes is rebooting the phone.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

btw, where's the Caffiene/Beer fund link?
[Captivate Android Development] brookssw:
Has there been any progress on the volume issue? I'm also affected by this, and can barely hear callers via the handset, even when in a quiet room. I'm willing to help test as needed too.

After two days, the "No service" issue is aggravating me, and the system has twice "lost" my background (though, black was nice) only to have it randomly appear later on. The screen just entirely failed to light up when I received a call (unacceptable, effectively defeated Caller ID) and for whatever reason I can't get my app drawer to sort alphabetically unless it's in list form.

I'm switching back to Cognition for the time being. I like the speed of this ROM and it comes with some useful tools but Cognition is more dependable atm.

I will continue to seed both versions and any updates, and may flash a later version.

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I have very high expectations when it comes to a ROM and this one meets them. If you hvae ever flashed either FF or Phoenix you would know how much I pay attention to detail and Team Komin has done that and then some.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Ok for the call volume I know whats causing it and how to fix will be in next kernel update. As for the dropped calls and related issues I would like to know how many of you with this issue tibu restored with data. I just fixed an issue with a user that had same issues. Did fresh flash and tested with no tibu restore and the problem went away. So if you do a tibu restore make sure you don't do data. If you have the no service issue. Please describe more is it saying no service when you really do or do you not have service at all explain when it happens and what modem your on. Also please for the sake of our sanity be more descriptive on your bugs or issues what rom(themed no theme), Kernel (did you change), and what modem your on. Also if its possible a log cat.

I found a third captivate, so now I am flashing this ROM. This is reminiscent of my gorging out on the 50/50 popsicle. I love orange! Yeah...
[Captivate Android Development] smithisize:
This looks really nice, but seems to have a lot of bloat :/ All the extra apps you added in, I think, you should have links to the APKs to simply add to the /system/app folder of the zip prior to flashing if wanted.

I think that makes it much more customizable, and then people like me could have a slim ROM :)

Otherwize, GREAT WORK! :D

Smith
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I posted the list of my slimming preferences for anyone who is interested in saving some space. it is the same way I built F and Phoenix. I am sure Team Komin will check it out and consider at least some of it.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Can someone help me with Music Player? Running the themed version out of the box and the app didn't detect the songs on my external sd card. Never had this issue on other ROMs before.

NV: Just rebooted and all is fine. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
I'm not trying to criticize anyone's attention to detail or their hard work. I posted earlier in this thread how much I liked the theme and how fast and stable the ROM seemed. I'm just reporting on my experience; and trying not to make too many value statements, as those always seem to hurt somebody's feelings (be it the audience or the devs themselves).

"No Service" on my Phono widget, -00db on my Signal Strength Widget, syncing apps (gmail, facebook, weather) reading things like "Cannot update, no service." and the crossed-circle (a la "no smoking") symbol in the notification bar. My wife's phone (crappy Samsung flip phone) reading 3 bars of EDGE service right next to it and within a minute [Captivate] has four bars of HSDPA service again. As my sig read in the previous post, Andromeda 2.0 with speedmod k12q kernel, I9088ZNKP1 modem. Never had that behavior running stock Rogers Froyo or Cognition 3.02 with the same kernel (k12o, p, q) or two modems (ZNKP1, TLJL3).

The background/app drawer behavior only seemed to start after I flashed "back_to_unthemed.zip" posted by a user earlier in this thread. It unthemed the ROM (except the extended power menu... woops) and worked fine. Over night, I had the Desk Clock app running and when I woke up the home screen had a blank black background, as it did for several hours this morning, until I received and ended a call, and suddenly I had a background (the Armani one I had chosen) again. The app drawer now only has two options: "List View" and "Grid" and I can edit the positions of the icons, just not sort alphabetically (unless I wanted to do it manually... which I just don't.)

As far as the call that didn't light up my screen... I didn't even try and answer it. I had my son at story hour, so the call was being ignored anyway, I was just disappointed that I couldn't see who I was ignoring :cool: Instead, I just pressed volume down to silence the phone. I don't know that I could have answered it anyway... the screen and the softkeys were both completely black... probably not even accepting a touch response. At this point I'm kicking myself for not pressing power, just to see what that might have done. Ignore the person? Light the phone up? Bring up a lock screen? Who cares, it was toddler time.

Again, I really appreciate the work you guys do and I intend to continue seeding to relieve the pressure on your servers. I regularly get 7+Mbps upstream, and recommend fully converting to torrent downloads, as anyone who flashes a ROM can surely figure out uTorrent. It would significantly reduce the demand on the server you're using, which could save you some of that "beer fund" for beer.

I'm trying to be helpful, not critical. I'd offer a logcat but the current version of my kernel (speedmod k12q) runs with Android logging completely disabled by default, and restarting to turn it back on and try and get unpredictable behavior while my son naps would be a serious drain on my very limited sitting around time.

Thanks for keeping up with the thread as well as you do, too. Team Komin seems like a pretty energized, dedicated group of devs.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I know you weren't critisizing anyones work. it is just my .02 cents
[Captivate Android Development] brookssw:
I agree on the torrent comment. I would happily seed this and save y'all some bandwidth and hopefully money
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Ok just a question did you have your phone plugged into computer while no service?
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
I have flashed both versions of this. I left kernel stock. I have had 0 problems, this is best rom I haver ever tried.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
The call dropping issue was happening with me quite often. I did restore with Tibu and data. I recently flashed to JK4 and haven't had the dropped calls issue nearly as much. But the volume is the same
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
How is this any easier than taking apks out of the zip before *you* flash it? Thus everyone has exactly the same # of files to download: 1.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yeah I hated the TouchWiz version included with 1.0. Couldn't figure out how to change the home screen location other than a .prop edit, same drawer order problem. I just used SGS Tools to upgrade it and I'm happy. I use GB's kernel and haven't had any other major annoyances.
[Captivate Android Development] haojan:
Thanks for the list! I managed to find some of them with TiBu and uninstall. Is there a discussion on what some of these apps do? Such as the bluetooth.apk, I couldn't find it and wasn't sure I would want to delete it if I want to keep using bluetooth. Or what the htmlviewer.apk does?

I am definitely voting for a slim version of Andromeda but haven't quite found a good description of all all these system apk.
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
Would it be possible for you guys to give a short description of the app?

Coz sometimes, i want something (the geniewidget for example), and i have no idea when it was removed nor was i able to track it until i tear down the internet on a browser.

I'm all thumbs up for bloatware removal, but sometimes people like me love the bloatware. And unless i know what does what, i'm gonna be missing a lot from the ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am sorry I don't have the time to list what each of them does. Try the search function. it will provide a list of same to remove apps and what they do.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Nope, it had been idle in my pocket for about 25 minutes. I had checked my e-mail and left gmail running. We went out, and I took out of my pocket. Gmail told me that it couldn't sync, I pressed home and had no signal on two widgets and my notification bar. My weather widget was blank and Facebook, too. I asked my wife for her phone and looked at both, and within a minute my phone had woken up to its signal, which turned out to be better than hers and consistent after that.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
2cents

If your calls are dropping. Try a different modem. Some phones just dont play nice with certain modem. And since you cant have multiple modems on a phone the rom devs can only pick one. 9/10 that will be a modem that works for them. If your having call drop/data problems flash a new modem when your phone reboots go into band selection and make sure "All" is selected. Even then "All" might not be the best choice for you. The area you live might also effect what modem and what bands work for you. I highly, highly, suggest trying jk4. Its i very good all encompassing modem that works for 9/10 people.

another 2 cents

If your having problems with things not running properly. With this particular rom i would say the problem is more then likely on your end. There is such thing as a bad flash. So sometimes reflashing the rom will fix everything. If your swapping themes around, eventually things will not work correctly and a reflash of the original rom will be the only way to "fix" what you broke. Clearing the dalvik cache after messing with themes can also help.

That said, yes some problems can be the rom itself. This rom in particular does not have many problems at all. Its a great stable rom. If your having problems try and do some self trouble shooting. I.e. "what have i changed" "what can i change" "have i checked to make sure my modem is set to the correct bands for my area" "have i tried any other modems" "are the problems im having problems others are having as well" "what responses did they get when posting there problem" "is my phone picky" and so on.

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of themes to swap, but I have found the above to be true.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
haha im a themeaholic but i cant find any reason to theme this one and i dont even like orange. I am interested in the mod over in the i9000 forums that removes the clock from the notification bar. I hate that there is a clock there. It defeats the purpose of all the awesome looking clock widgets. I think android stock needs to make that an option in display settings or something along those lines.

edit: just caught myself in a fib. i did edit the mms.apk slightly its in the official thread. makes it flow a lot more then the original.
[Captivate Android Development] chinlaundry:
I agree with.you clock suggestion, so unnessary ... .. .
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Link me I have an idea.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The modding of the services.jar to remove the clock is my favorite so far. I have implemented it on my FireFly ROM and love it. There were a handful of users that did not like it but I gave them an easy fix.

Thanks the the 4 cents whiteguy.

A generic question - can any modem be used with any ROM? Or are there incompatibities between them?

Edit: reading up on modems....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835272&page=2
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I've never mixed them myself. So im not the best person to ask. I believe the general rule of thumb is i9000 modems with i9000 kernals and the same with captivate. Don't quote me on that though.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Anyone else getting FCs when running Nenamark and checking IMEI with SGS Tools?

GPS a little jumpy, but for the most part good.

Still monitoring battery life, but it seems to be draining faster than what I'm used to.

That's what I've observed so far.

Running themed version with KP1 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I think my vision got a lot better with this ROM. Everything looks crisp.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
IMEI is a known glitch. Personally, I don't see why its important to check like that. Nenamark seems to be working fine for everyone else. For battery issues, try clearing your battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Flashed SpeedMod kernel and battery life is more to what I am used to. Also, GPS had been more stable with this kernel.

IMEI via SGS Tools not a biggie for me either. Just reporting it.

Nenamark starting to work more reliably now. Baffling. Must be related to how my phone likes SM's kernel.

My experience thus far has actually been pleasant. Great job to the team!
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
not that I can find anything wrong with Andromeda (other than having to flash jk4 modem because of weak wifi on my phone) when can we expect to see an update. or even a new theme or something? Maybe red or yellow theme even though I love the orange.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I was waiting to release this as part of the upcoming update, but if people really need to know their imei (and are too lazy to remove the battery ;) )

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MGUU2OCD

Just use adb or root explorer or whatever method you like to dump this into /system/app over the existing one. Don't try to install it as a regular apk!

Unthemed, for now.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
maybe im just crazy but isnt imei listed in settings>phone>status ? and if so what possible need would there be to check it with a code.

Woot, finally figured out my battery drain! Turns out android system keeping my phone awake was actually launcher pro, and it had a couple processes chewing up my cpu ever few minutes. Had to switch back to dreaded touchwiz.

It seems like launcher pro has been weird with some of the roms. I always recommend ADW Launcher I get great battery life out of it.

Seven posts (at the time of this writing) and the ROM has been released for less than 24 hours and it's, "THE MOST STABLE ROM I'VE EVER TRIED".

You seem......susceptible to suggestion.

Either that or this is the first and only ROM you've ever tried? :D

To Team Komin - thank you for the release.

I hope I can find time to play with the new ROM in the near future.

I'm really comfortable with my current set up, but I'm always up for a better solution if one becomes available.

Good luck with future releases.

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Why would you remove Allshare? I don't think it is free (could be wrong) and AFAIK it is the only way to get DLNA support for our Captivates. If there is a free and better DLNA application out there then perhaps Allshare is not necessary.

You can always use Titanium Backup if you want to get rid of it, but just because you don't want it doesn't mean it should be removed.

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Source for i9010? Do the guys working on AOSP/CM know that there is 2.2 source for the i9010 (if that is what it is)? I know they have been struggling with Captivate drivers... Not sure exactly how similar the Captivate and Armani are but I think they'd be interested.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I've been watching this thread with great interest. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet due to all the issues people have getting things to work correctly. I've rooted the device and along with some customizations that's worked for now but it's starting to annoy me. Andromeda seems to be the best bet that i've seen so far. When the new update comes to correct the issues i've seen here then I'll probably flash it :)

Btw I've been using Zeam Launcher and I really like the way it works, and it's very minimal on battery drain. In fact most times it doesn't even show under battery use. You can add as many icons on the dock as you want as well as some other nice features, and hey it's free.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Looking forward to an update to this rom! Not because it needs it but because I know it'll be worth it :)

Edit: in the next update I would love to see the haptic feedback amped up. DG did it with cog and it makes the phone feel more responsive & alive. Just a suggestion.

I seem to be getting better battery with Go Launcher. It's hard to do an exact comparison since usage will vary, but just from a rough observation, Go Launcher seems to just sip battery.

For example today, after 9 1/2 hrs I'm at 74% with

Display usage 47%, most of it in browser, half Wifi, half 3G

Cell standby 33%

Calls 11%

Idle 8%
