Although I haven't tried any captivate specific themes, I've flashed steel blue 3.1. No issues. Makes the phone look awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
This is the only reason I haven't flashed this ROM..because its a little more involved and I'm not sure I know what I'm doing when it comes to pit files and such. There're aren't many I haven't at least tried... this is one of them
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Better is good!!!

1)Guys, thanks for the feedback, I'll be implementing most of the suggestions. Just been a lil busy with work and gf nagging..lol. Soon ;)

2)As one of you had suggested, About the Keep the lights on app by GB, don't know whether it would drain the battery.. need to test it out.

3) The add-on package modifies android.policy.jar for home haptic feedback, so if anyone has any themes that modify this jar file and need to use the add-on cwm or are unsure what they use, plz pm me and I'll provide them with a specific version.

Everyone else can use the addon package and flash over their existing 9.3 using the DarkyRom Configurator app. No need to do the first Part if you already have 9.3

4) To be implemented:

a) edit scripts to make believe it is a captivate without captivate fix

b) SGH-I897 change everywhere

c) key tones for dialer

d) hosts file change for allowing ads for games like "Words with friends"

e) Battery icon mod.. Horizontal percentage battery?? or of any other, plz suggest

f) try to make it more slimmer

g) any other apps required as default with ROM?

5) Plz suggest any other changes!
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
Suggestion: don´t forget the buttons light on screen touch fix :D

About the KeepTheLightsOn, I´m using since I´ve installed Darkyy's and I have no drain at all (29 hours straight with moderate use and still 55% of battery left!!!)
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
lol.. edited! But hey, this ROM is of the future!
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
this is the first rom i have had that im not gonna enable lagfix, this is how rfs should have been in the first place. blazing speeds! i did switch to suckerpunch and jk4 though, as i do with all roms now :) works best on MY phone.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Edited OP!
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
Yeah I got that too using Odin however I went to darkys site and downloaded the cwm version and flashed that one and I don't get that annoying dots anymore.

1 thing to note tho if anyone does this before you boot for the first time just make sure you flash a speedmod kernel and jk4 modem or it will give you fc ...

But its running fantastic!

Installing Darky's Resurrection Edition on AT&T i897

Appreciate the time you spent putting the guide together!!

JFYI......On my AT&T i897, the "Reboot system now" option did NOT work pressing the home key during this step. I had to pull battery, get back into recovery mode AND THEN it would let me reboot. :D

I ran into the same situation. Nothing major, everything was fine after that. I just flashed this rom last night on a clean, brand new (refurbed) build 1007 I-897 Captivate. After numerous random shut downs, battery sucking, and lack of GPS, I had no problem getting a replacement from the DSC. The young girl who signed me in had the same issues, so she was sympathetic to my cause. I asked the tech for a build later than 1009, but he said these were working and hasn't had one back yet. Let's hope mine isn't the first! Onto the rom...

I've flashed various roms onto my Captivate and this one by far is the best.

Other than the minor issue noted above, install was smooth. Follow the directions and you shouldn't have any trouble. I know I didn't.

I have the same issue as mentioned earlier about the missing AT&T opening splash screen. Really, who cares? I'd rather see the noise on the screen than AT&T's screen anyway. Maybe we'll see additions to modify that also!

Battery life is much improved. Right now after more than 10 hours, I'm at 50%. That's some texting, light surfing and at least an hour of GPS testing.

The GPS is just outstanding. 8 sat locks in seconds from inside my house! Previous flashes didn't even lock until I was in a clear sky view for a minute or two. No large blue circle, accurate to within feet of my actual location.

No random shut downs today. They seemed to happen first thing in the morning after a full charge. Then maybe one or two after that. So far so good.

My Swype keyboard isn't working. Swype says not to install over a pre-installed version. Does that count in this situation? I won't try it until I hear back from someone familiar with it. Is there a known fix for this? Using the stock Gigerbread keyboard instead.

Linpack scores were the same as stock for me, somewhere between 13-14, Quadrant near 1200. I mention these for those who are interested. I'm not really sure of their relevance.

My initial thoughts so far are nothing but positive. Personally, I think Samsung should hire the talented people here to make their phones work properly right out of the box. Great work crew!

Darkyy put in the original guide.. Just modded a bit for the captivate.

Home key/ Power key may not work after the first flash (for captivate). Thanks for catching that, removing and reinserting's the best option..

Added to OP :)

Swype

MC, Thanks for the review! :) I've added Swype as a CWM add-on in the OP!

Hope it works for u and plz report if it doesn't!

Great ROM, Darkys is all I will run, and have been since 7.something...

I installed the CWM ROM from Darky's site not wiping the phone, and it runs great!!! Only install this way if you are already running Darkys ROM...
[Captivate Android Development] mcann:
Swype

Flashed the zip and all is good again! Followed your guide but it pops up tool tips in a foreign language, looks like Swedish maybe? Even though I turned that feature off in the settings. Once again, no big deal. As long as it types in English (which it does).

A nice thing happened after I downloaded the Swype zip. My computer recognized the phone as GT-9000. For some reason my original Cap was always available in USB mode or mass storage. The replacement I received yesterday wasn't recognized from stock and neither was the rom after flashing. However I just connected the phone to the pc as I always used to do, forgetting that the phone wasn't recognized anymore, and then the pc installed drivers and there it was. I'm happy but I have no explanation.

I'll keep you updated as I continue to evaluate this fine piece of work.

I believe that image is contained in the Kernal... I'm really not sure how to change it... maybe theres another guide somewhere, I'll look around some.

A big Thanks if you can do 4d so Host file can be adapted for Certain games. I have seen where you can edit the Host file yourself now but I have tried the Terminal Emulator to edit and never could get the Commands correct to get editor going.
[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
I couldn't find time to upgrade my Captivate yet, so I don't know whether it's implemented already on this new version or not:

My request is to have a working JPY version of Swype (for it supports my native language, Turkish).

Sorry for the unnecessary post if the ROM is already equipped with a JPY version of Swype, and thanks in advance in case of a vice versa.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
4d? I don't understand.. Plz elaborate!

I can't integrate Swype JPY coz it may not work for all.. You can download from http://www.multiupload.com/92FB8N0OF4 and flash over everything

For a modem in Canada, use TLJL3, ZNKP1 or XXJVE.. XXJVE which came recently is slightly better than TLJL3 and ZNKP1 according to some.

For kernel, use speedmod..

Both modem and kernel links are in OP!! put them on internal SD and flash from CWM recovery. For kernel, you can also use an app Neldar Kernel Flasher!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
"4d? I don't understand.. Plz elaborate!"

I meant the "d" option you listed under the #4 thing you planned on doing with the ROM where adFree doesn't block certain game Ads. On side note I did finally get into altering the Host file and now I can play "Words with Friends" without the website popup error.
[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
Thank you for the advice, but I've already gave chance to the version (v2.6.47.11856) you've advised me to try and couldn't manage to get it working. I've flashed it through CWM countless times, wiped application data both through "manage applications" menu and via Titanium Backup, etc. None helped with the problem.

Can you (or anybody else) confirm that the Swype version on the given link is compatible with the Darky's v9.3 Captivate edition? I'd appreciate if anyone can try flashing it on their current v9.3 installations and give feedback. For anyone interested, it should support the languages below:

English UK, English US, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese PT, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian

I'd also appreciate if anyone can point me a link for a working JPY version of Swype for the v9.3, in case if the suggested version gets confirmed not to work.
[Captivate Android Development] thundermonkey:
Is there an zip that gets returns the animations for the windows back to stock? I do not prefer the fly-out animations.

My orientation is not working correctly. I installed the Darkys 9.3 Cappy Edition and my orientation is backwards.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You are not using the right kernel if you orientation is wrong...you must be using a i9000 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] thundermonkey:
Switching to Speedmod then, not what is stock. Thanks. Any idea about the animations. I prefer stock animations.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Not sure on animations sorry.

BTW, this rom has the "faulty" 2.2.1 browser which has demonic voices with some streaming websites like ESPN Radio for example...just need to swap it for a good one and it is ok...just a heads up to the OP.

Battery Question:

The first day I got this rom I dropped from 90% down to 50% in 6hours... Now for some reason I can't even pull that off and I did recalibrate my battery... Any suggestions?

Using Speedmod kernel with JK4 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I was having some issues with soft reboots and then my phone completly crashed going from 70% to 13% in about an hour. Had to do a battery pull to get the phone back on. I was gonna manually restore my apps and noticed that mlb at bat 11 does not show up in the market when i am running 9.3. I've tried both the original and the and the updated captivate edition. Still nothing, as it doesn't even show up under my apps which is wierd because its a paid app. It shows up when i'm running 9.2. I have no clue what could have caused the market to reject the app. Also ESPN Dallas doesn't show up.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Sorry, I couldn't test the linl I provided earlier.. It is the stock JPY Swype. Would test it later!

Would provide a zip with stock animations later

Would check it out.. Could u plz elaborate and suggest which browser is a perfect one?

Hmm.. Change Modem? Using JL2 or KP1 gives me excellent battery life!

hmm.. If it worked on 9.2, must be some small script change. Would check it out!
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
It's that time of the day again

Updated OP with more fixes!

If u have unthemed darky 9.3, u can either flash the full CWM zip (using darkyRom COnfigurator) or just the add-ons from recovery.

If it is themed, plz PM!

Changes to this version added to the previous changes in OP!

Darkyy is coming up with a JS7 version in 9.4 and Gingerbread in version 10. You'll be eating them soon ;)

I keep trying to set my WiFi Sleep Policy to "When Screen Turns Off" but from time to time I will check it and it has reset to "Never". It seems to occur when I have had my phone Powered Off then turned back On. Is this WiFi policy controlled by the ROM,Kernel or Modem that is used?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
For those with bad battery life. Try clearing the dalvik cache and main cache. Then draining the phone and charging back to 100% then open the recovery and clear battery stats. Discharge/Full charge like 2-3 times and charge while its off and your battery will be awesome!

This is with texts, calls, poweramp music player, my tracks GPS to track while running, and browsing!
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
40 hours? Holy crap.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I do that but still good info but still didn't answer my question,what control WiFi Sleep Policy ROM,Kernel or Modem being used.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I don't use wifi but the policy that I set it to was sleep when screen off. The kernel and modem are in my sig, but KP1 modem with Speedmod Kernel C

[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I think your on the wrong thread. Captivate doesn't have a front facing camera. You might want to check over in the I9000 section. There is a 9.3 Darkyy over there somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
Anyone know why N64oid doesn't show up in the market? And does anyone know how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Clear means Wipe. So use Wipe Cache from the main recovery screen and Wipe Dalvik from the clockwork screen
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
Thanks! I'll try your technics.
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
One more question, buddy. Does it matter if I'm at 63% when doing the clearing thing (the first step)?
[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
Anyone? It recognizes it in recovery and every other mode, just not Download :(
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Nope doesn't make a difference. Just make sure you charge to 100% afterwards :D
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
I've got a couple of apps missing from my market as well. I was able to get them when i was on 9.2 but they are nowhere to be found on 9.3. Already let rickysa2000 know. Said it's probably just a script thing or something.
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
Ok, on more to go... Does the charge to 100% have to be with the phone powered on or off?

Sorry for too many questions, Pal ;) Thanks!

Try doing the market fix in SGS tools, I know that it worked for me with apps like lcd density changer.

Sorry didn't see this till now was at work! :D

But either way works! Off or on as long as it gets to 100% but I usually do it while off bc when on it has a fuunny habit of reading full at only 95%

Ok, thanks a lot. You just in time, I got 4% left XD!

Lol no problem. Mine just died at 53hrs so charging while off and thats the last full discharge cycle for me. Next time I'll charge it while its on :)

Can u tell me how to reproduce this error!! I've powered off and on, but my Wifi Sleep settings are retained!!!
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
Thanks for including the market fix (one from sgs tools didn't help). I'll see if it works for me when my phone charges. As far as the wifi sleep thing goes. It has always been like that no matter what i'm using. It seems to stay on "When screen is off" a lot longer on Darkyy's than most other roms. But nevertheless, it will switch back to "never".

So i have no idea how to reproduce. It sucks because i go into class for about 5 hours straight, and get on my phone for about ten minutes during the whole thing. I try to always keep it on off but when i check halfway through class its at never.

On a sidenote, what happened today. I'm off of my computer for one day and it seems like everyone came out with some kind of an update. Glad to see it but kind of a shock to see so much new stuff up all at once.
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
I don't get clearly the difference between these two:

2) Darkyy's 9.3 Extreme CAPTIVATE Edition

3) (OPTIONAL) Darkyy's 9.3 Extreme Edition Original

I have installed a 9.3 version, I think it's the first that came out... but I don't know wich ver is it :confused:

Wich one ver do you guys download the most?

Thanks 4 the answers :)
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
Market fix works which is good. One of my apps that didn't show up before had an update. Thanks for this.

From my knowledge the 9.3 captivate edition is the latest one with the fixes. While the optional version is say if you had update 1 on your phone and instead of wiping just needed to install the fix package. But the original was still intact just in case for anyone that wanted it. If you have 9.3 on now, just CWM the fix package and i think you should be good to go. Just remember, BACKUP.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am running 9.3 on my Captivate. I am having a problem with the Wifi Sleep Policy holding it's settings. I set the Policy to "When the Screen turns off" but if I plug it in to charge overnight( I leave the phone On when I charge) and then check Policy it has went to "Never". Has anyone seen this problem?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I wish I could tell you exactly. There are times I set it and it seems to hold as I check it periodically. Then I will notice my Battery seems to be running down Faster than normal and I check and it has reverted to "Never" again. It seems to be if the phone hasn't been in use for a while and it been in slept mode like last night. Now this may be totally something different but I just Flashed you newest update for 9.3 and when phone rebooted my Wifi had been turned off Completely. Now that might just something that happens with the new Flash.

Thanks for GREAT work!!!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
OK I guess I am an idiot. Whenever I set my WiFi Sleep Policy I had always just hit the "BacK' button and closed out. I just noticed that if after I set and hit "Menu" button there is a "Save" option,man I feel DUMB!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Use Darkyy's 9.3 Extreme CAPTIVATE Edition, if u are to flash the whole ROM! ;) If you had any themes that change the framework, this would take care of it!!

If you already have Darkyy 9.3, and u just want the fixes without changing any apps u downloaded, then use the fixes in List Item 3. But, if u have any custom themes that change the framework, this may not work and it would be wiser to download the ROM from list 2.
