Yeah I hope we find some sort of fix for it. I mean, its not a big issue for me as I have no need to rely on GPS. Its just a high tech toy really, but it would be cool to have, especially since so many other people have amazing GPS. I'll be more than happy to test stuff out for you if you need anyone. I'm a single dad so I'm in and out of here a lot and you know things can get covered up in here pretty quick sometimes, so shoot me a PM if you have anything you want /need tested. Thanks for your help and keeping this .apk going. :cool:

Downloaded and installed, giving it a text know and things are working great on Phoenix 4.5. Thanks for taking this over and doing a great job.

Thanks wilsongis looks very promising I'm running it on DOC_v9.1.4_XWJS3_KizzEdition. I applied the host file fix and noticed that Linpak still displays ads do I have to do a manual step I'm not aware of?

Thanks In Advance

Try a reboot. You may need to clear the dns cache. Let me know if that solves the issue
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sremick:
The GPS stuff is of great interest to me, since I run Perception and DG doesn't bother much at all with GPS stuff... love everything else about the ROM but very jealous of all the "GPS improvements" that the other ROMs seem to get every update. So I'd love a way to be able to apply those same patches to my ROM of choice. :)

I have a lot of GPS-aware apps installed that I'd like to use but are almost worthless due to the Captivate's lame GPS.

Thanks!

I have installed the Galaxy Tab email.apk file from this thread. It was modded for the Vibrant, but I figured it would work on the Captivate as well.

Has SGS Tools been updated in a while? I still have old roms on my version and when I check the market it says it is updated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
I read in another thread that you can create dialer shortcuts by long-pressing the screen, but I can't get it to work. I'd love to be able to add the AngryGPS / *#3214789650# shortcut to SGS Tools.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gospeedgo:
If you long press on any of your main screens, choose shortcut, then choose SGS Tools - Dialer Shortcut, you can add the code for AngryGPS.

I'm using SGS Tools 4.7.3, and long-pressing doesn't do anything on my phone.

How do you add widgets to your home screens? Same thing, just dont select widget. Also, if you look through the general forum, you'll find s thread that tells how to place a shortcut on your home screen.

I'd still rather have AngryGPS access included in SGS Tools > Secret Codes rather than a shortcut, but it's a good enough workaround for now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
Give wilson time to put together a few things for GB. With only a few roms running gb, and all but 1 (Continuum)of those in beta or rc stages, its prob hard to tell what needs to be added. Thanks for understanding with the shortcut.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
Another feature I'd love to see is the ability to add secret codes - which is what I thought people were talking about in the first place.

If I could long press on the Secret Codes screen and enter a code and a name - or even edit existing ones - I'd be a happy man.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PIRATA!:
I have a BIG, BIG, BIG request for you.

Can you please make the captivate version on SGSTools use a different folder of the normal SGSTools? something like /sgstoolscap/ or something similar.

I have SGSTools for SGS non Captivate, and even if it is old, alot of people would like to keep it installed in the system.

If people installs the Captivate version, the main sdcard folder is the same, so this could be a problem.

OTHER QUESTION:

What are the main features that can NOT be used or MUST NOT be used in the Captivate-SGSTools on a standard NON Captivate SGS??

Please let me know.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I would be more than happy to switch directories.

As for your other question, the latest release segregates the cappy only features from non-cappy. User is asked if they aye using a cappy, if yes, cappy only functions.

PM and we can talk more.

sgs tools problem

I used sgs tools to upgrade tw launcher, but i didn't remove my apps from the dock. all of these apps (phone, messaging, and camera) weren't in the app drawer after the uprade. I then upgraded my camera using sgs tools and now It is back in the drawer. The other 2 apps are still installed. whenever i receive calls or messages, my phone acts as it should, but I want to know how to get them back in the drawer. so i was just wanting to know if anyone has a solution. even if it is an "upgrade" like what returned the camera?

Warning Concerning Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T-Mobile)

While most of the tools in this app work just fine with the Galaxy S 4G, the option to update the camera ROM breaks the camcorder capabilities of the phone.

If you apply that update, and attempt to record video in full resolution (1280 x 720), the phone will completely lock-up. Only workaround is to remove the battery, and then reboot. Happens every time

All other, lower resolution video modes seem to work, and the still camera is much improved by the update (IMHO), but just beware - Never attempt to record full resolution video if you apply this camera ROM update on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] trekie86:
4.8 is just the beta that is only available on XDA. When Wils has had enough time to test it and get feedback, he pushes it to the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] igorgomez:
Simply update the gallery has improved the performance of my battery. The watchdog has accused the gallery consuming processor and memory many times and now it's over!

Some questions:

- As for the GPS fix, how do I restore if something bad happens? There are only options for Europe and North America. How do I set my cappy to South America?:confused:

- In the "rom tools"> "Captivate Fixes", there are files "Plumbbob" Cappy for the GPS. They have similar function to the item described above? What are the differences between the files of the South American and global?:confused:

Congratulations to the developer!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] melvinaury:
To restor the GPS settings and if you are in 2.1 or 2.2 ROMS you can download from the market GPS Restore app from Samsung.

For other locations you can download also from the market the app faster fix.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RashaMatt:
User scripts are in /sdcard/sgstools directory.

You can add more script files there (filenames must end with .txt) and they will show up in the browser when you create a home shortcut for a script.

Edit: It seems to be a bug in 4.8 that, within the sgstools app, script names are loaded from the new location (sgstools2); but when creating a Home shortcut the script names are loaded from the old location (sgstools). So for the moment you might want to mirror those two dirs, or link one to the other.

Edit: Regarding name, SGS has recognition, but if you're going to end up with a big makeover I think changing name makes sense. Recognition will come through XDA :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I appreciate your help. I think it is a good start. Can you try "CAP TOOLS" on the third? Maybe with pheonix colors?

My 2 cents: As much as I like Cap tools, do you want to have this used by other Samsung Galaxy S people?

Second, I would like a SD Speed Test. It would be nice to know if a microSD class 10 card really was 10MB/s and if my Captivate could take advantage of that speed.

As far as the logo goes I believe a logo that does not say the title of the app on it would make the most sense. It is rather redundant to have a logo that says the title and then the title directly below it.

I was looking at the source code. I'm not too familiar with android coding, but it looks like the menu action appears in ScriptReceiver.java (on key down) and it may be called from menuactivity.java (on key down). Difficult to say, since it is a very non-linear programming.

Slightly bigger tools

[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
All you need to do is download and double click to install
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:

Biggest change is the ability to download a rom and optionally boot into recovery. The next version (4.5) will have some significant updates.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tsachi:
Rom download is a nice addition. do you think it would be possible to update the list from a remote server? that way you don't need an app update whenever a new version of a rom comes out. You can have a refresh list button that grabs a text file from the server and replaces the one on the sdcard.

I'm confirming the same thing. The hacked camera script fails. I've got the hacked camera from Phoenix but if I run the SGS script, it goes away totally. Restore thankfully does work.

I'm guessing the camera apk wasn't in the build? Need to add this to the list of tasks to complete for SGS tools updates. Wils, come up with any idea to track issues. Is there a bugzilla app you can load on your server? Has a decent web interface and it really easy to use.
