I have been very happy with ytt3r's port of Darkyys ROM, having spent a great deal of time setting it up perfectly (circle battery, dark theme, etc). I am on Rogers in Canada, using the JL2 modem. Reception is great, data speed is great, etc. My only complaint about my current setup is battery life. I am lucky to get 10 hours of normal use - and this is mainly work related stuff - lots of emails (200 per day or more). I use a push e-mail setup with 5 accounts. FYI, my previous Blackberry would last 3 days with this setup - of course I couldn't surf the internet for sh*t.

I just flashed this ROM today, hoping it might solve the battery drain issues. Unfortunately, after spending the afternoon trying to set it up properly, I have to throw in the towel. I was getting constant FCs in Google Services Framework. Many of my applications were also FCing here and there. I cleared the data for each application that crashed, but that didn't work. I tried restoring only partially using TiBu, but couldn't isolate the issues.

Anyone else come from the Darky port to this ROM with success? (restoring a previous config?). Would love to try it again.

THANKS!

I am connecting to Exchange 2003 server and not had any email FCs at all during all my testing or currently. What is your exchange server environment?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok coming from docs. Flashed straight over, lag fix disabled. First boot had to do a battery pull. No problems since. So far I am impressed, great work.

Is there a new kernel coming out today?
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
I wonder that myself, been quiet in here tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
Haha its coming soon but no ETAs. No use asking.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Has any tested out different modems with this? On other roms I have never liked this one you much. Will give it a go though

24 Hour update

Coming from : Own ROM (Something I built taking bits pieces from places.)

Flashed : Disabled Voodoo and flashed with Rom Manager with a 98% battery available then.

Running Apps :

Email (The Galaxy Tab apk) connecting to Exchange

Facebook

Tweetdeck

Gmail

Music (sometimes)

Usage so far : About half an hour of talking, checking mail with gmail and corporate account. FB one or twice, checking twitter updates every 15/20 mins and posting some updates, about 10-15 mins on XDA from the xda-app. 20 mins of driving with GPS on and Navigation running. Installing all the mentioned apps from market. Music playing for half an hour.

WiFi ON all the time.

Data ON when WiFi is off (about 20 mins)

Pros : The best GPS I have got so far. No FCs, No major battery drain (41% left as of now), good data speeds. Nice lil theme (Yup, I orange and red :) )

Cons : Nothing major apart from my battery indicator is not getting updated. It always stays at full charge. Will try a wipe tonight and update

The font is not of my liking. (Hey, nothing is perfect)

Overall : Bloody brilliant experience so far.

If you ever need someone to contribute with development/testing etc., do let me know. More than happy to contribute.

I went from serendipity to darky 8.1 to andromeda 2.0 without an issue. Only fc I have is because I put the themed mms from serendipity into andromeda. I got over 14 hours of heavy use, like screen on for about 3-4 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Do you guys flash with a full battery (overnight charge perhaps)? or while plugged in to PC/wall-outlet?
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Yes, I did flash after a full charge (99-98 whatever the battery says as soon as you unplug).
[Captivate Android Development] :
You can flash without charging. Just wipe your battery stats next time you do.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I flashed Speedmod K12P 500HZ (lower RAM, warm version) after the first reboot of Andromeda. Didn't resolve the issue unfortunately. Also, it's weird that this doesn't affect all of my mkv files, even though they are all encoded the exact same way (x264/AVC High Profile, 23.976fps). I also noticed that out of the MKV's that don't play, not all of them are 720p, some of them are actually lower-res. I've also checked that the files aren't corrupted and played fine elsewhere (most of my videos were batch encoded, so there shouldn't be differences in playback).

This is odd, although I've noticed that these phones don't always play nicely with H.264: any videos encoded at AVC High Profile at 23.976fps (any resolution) using AviSynth and FFdshow/DirectShowSource will have seeking problems on the Captivate with hardware playback (tested using 3 different computers for encoding, 3 different Captivates for playback, built-in video player app as well as RockPlayer in hardware mode, Meridian and mVideoPlayer). The exact same videos encoded with the same settings using FFmpegsource (still using AviSynth) won't exhibit these problems, even though the source filter should have no effect on seeking.

Also, videos with framerates other than 23.976fps or non-constant framerates won't play at their proper speed and will go out of sync with the audio when playing in hardware mode (issue is non-existant with software playback using RockPlayer or vPlayer Beta, although playback generally isn't smooth in software mode to begin with). These additional issues occur on all ROM's I've tried (stock, leaked Froyo, Darky's, Firefly, Andromeda, etc.).
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
A perfect fit...

Hands down, the best performing ROM for the Captivate available. It really does make a difference when the ROM is designed specifically for the phone it will run on. I've tried every ROM out there and none perform, all around, as good as this one. Battery performance is excellent; the best since DG's Cognition 2.1.7, but without having to undervolt. I'm sold! Just need a cool theme other than orange (just my preference).

voice recognition

I love everything but I still can't figure out why voice recognition doesn't work. When I hold down the search button it says "connection problem". It doesn't matter how I open the "speak now" window it still gives me the error.
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
Huh, that's weird, I just tried mine for the first time and it worked fine
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
nevermind I figured out the voice thing.

Another question I have is about modems. I am using andromeda 1.0 and I understand 2.0 has the jl2 modem. How does it compare to i9088ZNKP1?
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
Well done

Been a long time Axura/Phoenix user. I've flashed a lot of other roms at various times just to try something different and I must say that Andromeda 1.0 is the first time that another ROM has remained on my phone for over 24 hours without going back to Phoenix. I am very happy with battery life, gps lock times, boot speeds, bluetooth performance, data speeds are superb, and connecting to wifi is the fastest I've ever seen. Those features are all very good.

I've done a few tests today with GPS. And although the lock times are as fast or faster than Phoenix, once locked accuracy is not as good. With GPS status I find that I have to recalibrate the compass almost every time I launch it (waving phone in figure-8) I get 8 sats locked in under 10 seconds but within a couple mins of no movement 5-8 of them suddenly disappear. Within 10 seconds they are all back but every couple of mins of stationary testing that happens over and over. I then loaded Google Maps and observed very similar behavior. Things would lock fast and the blue cursor would be within about 5-10 meters of me then 3-5 mins later it would move a few hundred feet away then settle in closer and closer to within 5-10 meters again then suddenly jump hundreds of feet again. I do not see that kind of behavior on this same hardware with Phoenix. I lock in about 15 seconds and stay locked with accurate compass facing and within 10 meters once locked.

Otherwise the only other thing I did was to put the stock 2.2.1 mail.apk on. For some reason I always have a lot of problems with the tabbed version of the mail.apk that comes with so many Galaxy Roms.

But having said all of that, this is an outstanding ROM. I loaded the unthemed 1.0 version and am running ADW EX on top of it and I am pretty sure I will be keeping it. Thank you guys for this outstanding work. Very fast and it feels super stable. I hope the above GPS info is reproducible and maybe even correctable.
[Captivate Android Development] Overgloc:
notice my wifi signal is weaker than other rom. What to do? Love everything about this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
YourMileageMayVary

its different for different people in different areas. i like them both pretty equally, but am sticking with the ZNKP1 for now.

please have a look at this thread:

You could try another modem on your phone

But first make sure it is not your wireless modem
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
have you tried a different modem? i havent seen any wifi issues at all with all my testing.
[Captivate Android Development] dmecd:
I had a similar problem when I restored my stored calls with titanium backup. Try restoring your data one at a time. I know it's time consuming but I think it has something to do with the data coming from a 2.2.1 rom back to a 2.2 rom. It worked for me and I'm at 27% after 16 hours. love this rom. thanks to all!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Agreed,:-)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
For those that want the Samsung apps/widgets/bloat back, here you go:

pulled due to an apk problem

For those that are on 1.0 and decided you want to check out this 2.0 orange theme....

http://www.mediafire.com/?koib492g2feaf99

these are CWM flashable and they will not wipe or do anything crazy
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I went on the android market, and it updated the latest market...

Then, the 2.0 themed turned from orange back to green...

Any ideas how to make it stick to orange?
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
can I install version1 over version2?

also, this is a very minor problem -- when unlocking using the "android unlock" on v2, it flashes a hint of green for half a second, normal or..?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Any updates on the OC kernel eta (the 1300 or higher one I mean or 1280 at least)?

Testing some ROMS while that is done but wanted to keep in touch :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
we are working on an updated themed market

yeah the green is something we probably overlooked, especially those of us that were flashing this themed version left and right while testing....the orange became unbearable while troubleshooting...lol

if you install version 1.0, it will wipe and install over 2.0
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
Until the ROM makers include a new themed market, you can freeze Market Updater in Titanium Backup and replace the Vending.apk with the old one included with the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
oh ok, so I dont need to odin to put 1.0 on.

also,

how can i use multiple unlock screens? i remember when using stock, i had the "screen slide unlock" as the 'default' but when i have a new message or missed call, it has a "drag puzzle piece to view message (or missed call) unlock"

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thanks, was able to get it that way.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
With Odin back to stock, master clear, put Rom on internal SD card and flash with cwm . Orrrrrrr. Flash over current Rom with cwm . That's what I did and it works fine as the rom wipes data and all that stuff on install. IMHO this is one of, if not the best Rom I have run on my phone. There are a few that I really really like. But this one is one of the greats.
[Captivate Android Development] kingfisher1111:
When you say install ROM in recovery is thar ROM manager recovery or poweroff button -Recovery mode?Again install ROM from SD card? Do I need to come back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I applied the google version of the fix and so far so good. In my stationary testing the lock is a lot more accurate and I am seeing 10-11 sats. I only drop one or two at a time and haven't jumped around so far. I will run this one for a day or so and give it a good test. Thanks :-)
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
Both recoveries are the same. If you have a kernel that is 2e recovery, then you will need to use the rom manager function.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Bump 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
yeah, with the use of a CWM flashable version of the stock rom. as long as it flashes the modem/kernel as well.

oh and you will have to disable lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
I don't think there is. ^^ guess I was wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
This is my new favorite rom thanks to the sweet theme, great GPS and battery life. Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] mikewong27:
I really like this rom. The GPS locks really fast, bluetooth voice calling works great!!! I'm really happy with this rom. But I'm not too crazy about the orange theme though... wish there is a dark blue theme. I also noticed that the battery indicator on top right is not accurate. The icon shows full battery but I actually have about 65% left. I think this is just a minor bug or something. Thanks for the great work!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
If you don't like the Orange you can always go with the stock theme in Andromeda 1.0. The theme is the only difference between the two.
[Captivate Android Development] mikewong27:
How do I install the stock theme? Do I need to reflash Andromeda 1.0 over 2.0?
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Suggestion: Have one version

Yeah, instead of having two version numbers that confuse people, he should just have version 1.0 for both because they are the same ROM. It will also make the title of the thread nice and clean. :D

Like this:

Andromeda 1.0 (themed)

Download here!

Andromeda 1.0 (no theme)

Download here!
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
that was discussed....but there were too many differences in the 2. the themed had some modded apks and .jar files (its not just framework-res and twframework-res)

these are for all intents and purposes...2 separate versions

we wanted the 1.0 to be an untainted version....free to do whatever you wish. we consider 2.0 to be a completely different rom...a NEXT version of what we started working on. because lets face it, the unthemed was first...and it was easy considering...
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
I posted this several pages back. One guy said that its common on custom ROMs to get FC on these things.
[Captivate Android Development] Zanzybar:

Of course I install myself multilanguage Swype, but this is not a trivial task...

Can you keep the Swype keyboard from the Armani source in Andromeda?
[Captivate Android Development] lhobby3:
Wow, simply amazing

just wanted to say thanks. this rom is truly amazing. used 1.0 and loving it. has the 4 icon dock that i love, has a nice app screen (side to side vs. up and down). Great features. I cannot express how amazing this is. the only glitch i have noticed is 1. the double adding of contacts from facebook and google accounts, its seems they dont auto-join into 1 name together. and lastly, the battery icon is not accurately representing the percentage. Yet, this rom is still the best rom out. i could not be happier. Thanks for you hard work, and i look foward to it only getting better from here. also, i would be willing to donate for this bad boy.

I am not using this ROM yet, but I have decided to seed both v1.0 and v2.0 as long as my uTorrent is running (which is pretty constantly).

Question: In your (beautifully done) webpromo, it says "four lockscreens" and doesn't seem to list the stock "pattern" lock screen which is my favorite... is that an oversight because it comes stock or has it been removed for some reason?

The only reason I haven't flashed this one yet is because I've been pretty attached to Cognition and just donated to DG. I may give it a whirl soon, though, when I start to feel the flash-itch.
