[ROM][beta] Darky v10 RC5.3 Captivate Users Welcome

Hello Captivate users :)

We have good news for you!

You are now officially supported on Darky v10!

For info please read the whole post here: Darky v10 RC5.3

let us know :)
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks Darkyy! It's good to see confirmation from you that it is supported. I'm looking forward to trying this after I read over all the details surrounding "beta"...

Thanks again.:D

home button fix

does anyone know where to get this home button fix?

[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Has anyone compared xCal's kernel to Dark Core 2.1 included with RC5B3? Supposedly, it supports I897.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
What do you guys mean by home button fix?

I'm running dark Core 2.1 kernel and the home button works for me just like Xcal's latest kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
The home haptic feedback still doesn't work in either kernel as far as I know. The home button wasn't even functional on early kernel builds although it may work in the latest of both. XCal included a separate "fix" file ( http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=573819&d=1303344065 ) to get the home button functionality working and I thought people were using that even on the DC 2.1 kernel.

I wasn't asking about comparing kernels for that - it is an easy fix either way. I was asking about a comparison of other functionality in the kernels - speed, color, sharpness, WIFI, battery life, etc. Does DC 2.1 support UV, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Its smooth, much more than xcal. Also voodoo speeds up the device quite a bit. Wifi works fine. No UV abilities. No battery issues but I've only run it for about 12 hours
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have a Captivate phone on Darky 9.5 with DarkCore 1.4 and lagfix enabled and I am getting ready to Flash Darky RC5b3 GB ROM. Want to be sure this is correct:

1) Flash with Odin the Ficeto_jvb_cappy.tar and s1_odin_20100512.pit and I have "Re-Parition","Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" all CHECKED in Odin. (what is the .DS-Store file used for)

2) Get the 2 Apps(Super User and Darky)

3 ) Flash the Cappy Fix though Darky App

4) After Reboot Flash RC5b3 though App

5) What/where can I find Cappy Modems to be used with Darky GB?

I am correct that I don't need to go to Stock prior to any of this?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Disable lagfix and do a data wipe. Then flash with odin. Otherwise all good. You can find 2 modems in the sticky in the cappuccino dev forum or pm me, ill send them to you. No you don't have to go to stock but a data wipe is advised
[Captivate Android Development] raven2000:
I have stock Captivate and I want to install Darky 9.5. Can I skip part 1?
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Well, 9.5 is 2.2.1 so you may want to not in any way follow the 2.3.3 directions. Go to the OP and follow those directions, word for word.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
You need to install the Darky 9.2 Resurrection Edition for Captivate 1st. I know that was how I was advised to get to 9.5 from Stock.
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
can i flash rc5 b3 with the new gingerbread bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Yes just go to this link and read How To.

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...darky-v10-rc5-3-captivate-users-welcome.2420/
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
so if i have the jvb bootloaders from cesars rom couldnt i just flash rc5 skipping the odin step and just do a factory reset in cwm
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I would think you could but I would go to Darky's website and ask those guys to be 100% sure.
[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Ditto!! :)
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I think we should get an update of the OP about the new RC...
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
The Darky Team has now released the Final RC5. It not a "Final" Final but the Final for RC5 non Beta.
[Captivate Android Development] jecsah:
Not sure where I went wrong yesterday but I ended up bricked. It wouldn't power on in anyway so I assume it was a bootloader issue?? I'm open to ideas..

I was on continuum already and wanted to try the darky rc5. I loaded the .pit in Odin and it took all of 10 seconds before it finished and turned off the phone. the end.

I have to give ATT some credit. this was at about 4pm yesterday and they shipped me a new phone that arrived at 11:30am today.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Darky v10 RC5 Final is out now!!!

[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Second that! :)
[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Hmm. Thats weird! Maybe Odin? Darky's .tar file includes both bootloaders (primary and secondary) soo theres a lower risk of brick, but since we're still messing with the bootloaders maybe?

Wow at&t took your phone?! Man I am so jealous! When I called them, I told them that my phone won't turn on and they automatically gave me the # to samsung! Wth! Lol!!
[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Uh oh. Is anyones multi quote working? I can't seem to get it to work! :confused:

Running JP9. I was going nuts earlier because I was losing 10% an hour because of the cell standby. After some reading, I got it down to 2% an hour. Who know disabling some APK's would solve the problem! Just in case anyone has the same problems. You can remove the apk's or freeze the following files.

[Captivate Android Development] morgej:
Newbie question - how to keep from stopping background processes?

So I'm still learning my way around Android, and really liking this ROM and what I'm finding.

Question, I find that background programs are getting killed awfully frequently on the Captivate with the latest version (4/9/11) of this ROM.

For example, when I am running Co-Pilot the program is very often restarting when I navigate back to the program after taking a phone call, responding to a text, etc. I know the program is exiting because the GPS lock icon in the status bar goes away.

However, when using Google Navigation, the program does not get shutdown in the background (because I can see that the GPS lock icon in the status bar remains active).

Is there some way to tell Android not to kill Co-Pilot in the background so quickly?

Thx.

hello,

After trying to find a good, fast and reliable ROM for my SGS I9000 and flashing today about 3 roms... now i have a problem..

I entered in recovery and tried to do a wipe but withou succes.

I even tried flashing with odin wiith repartioning... but .. the same..

what can u advise me pls ???
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
If you have an I9000, you'll want to check that forum for this ROM. This one is Captivate-specific, per the description in the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] kevnuke:
Not sure if this bug is ROM specific or not but I've flagged this ROM several times and notice that whenever I delete an event from the calender, it causes the calender app to force close from that point on. Or maybe the calender storage process. Any idea how to solve this without reinstalling the base and ROM. I tried reflashing just the ROM and it didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
settings - applications - manage apps - all - market - clear data
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
You can flash the extreme edition, with the captivate kernel and modem, if u like.. Many ppl face issues with the extreme edition when they do not flash it the right way by sometimes just overwriting which may lead to issues (for some).

But flashing the resurrection edition guarantees no issues due to ROM, as it is similar to going back to stock, but this time, the stock is Darkyy's 9.2 Base ROM which is repartitioned using Odin.

My suggestion is the resurrection edition, as it takes an additional 5 mins over the conventional Extreme edition. After this, for further versions 9.3 and so on, u can try the extreme edition!
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
so i decided to try the resurrection rom.

so do i have to have all the pre-install requirements

and then do the instructions part 1 and 2?.

and btw where do you get the odin because mine looks way different than the screenshot.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Disabling Lagfix is the only main prerequisite.. backing up or not, that's up to you if you want all your apps with data back.

Yes do Parts 1 and 2! The Odin file is in the main file package in OP.

Here it goes again: http://www.multiupload.com/MV9KYHGRBF

The first part wipes and loads the base 9.2 slim version. The second part would install the rest of the stuff, apps, wallpapers, kernel, modem...etc.
[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
Thanks! Cant wait to flash this rom!

[Captivate Android Development] bluemoon1221:
Thanks for the rom!!

I can't believe my GPS is working! It never worked on anything until now!

[Captivate Android Development] miamor:
Woot!!!

Wow.. I had the same experience. And it seems 9.3 (not released) which is based on XWJS5 is even smoother. I contacted rickysa2000, and he said as soon as it comes out, he's be putting it here with just captivate stuff!!! Can't Wait!
[Captivate Android Development] raresvintea:
i flashed this with odin on my galaxy s(i9000). can e flash the normal software eith any problems by the normal way?
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
If you have an i9000, don't use the captivate version! You can flash using the extreme edition link provided in the OP using CWM, after making necessary changes using the DarkyRom Configurator.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
does anyone else have a problem with downloading apps from the market? i can't seem to download anything.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Anyone have the issue of the AT&T boot screen being all scrambled? I'm going to try and reflash it.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Yes I do. Let me know if it works for oyu and how you did it. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Please describe what exactly happens.. You should be able to download without any issue.

You can also try Settings -> manage Apps -> market -> Delete Data and then try.

yes, this is a known issue with the resurrection edition. You can try the extreme edition to resolve this.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So saying I flashed the resurrection edition, I would then flash the extreme on top of it?
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Nothing would download before but I solved the problem. I just had to clear data on the market.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I tried reflashing with the extreme edition, no dice. Bummer. I've got a scrambled AT&T logo now..it just bothers the OCD inside me.
[Captivate Android Development] socrated13:
Hey guys i cant get launcher pro to work on a fresh install. Evetytime i try to open it i get a force close. Does anyone know what to do?
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Try to reflash. Force closes usually mean that something went wrong. I have an issue where launcher pro freezes when I boot up the phone (not all the time though). I just have to kill it in task manager and then restart it. Other than that it works fine for me.

Has anyone tried to replace the logo_ATNT.jpg to see if it fixes the boot logo screen?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849789
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Custom LOGO

Works :) Added instructions for adding custom Boot logo to OP!!
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I've tried to cp the file I have on my sdcard, but it says the file exists. I think you need to use odin to flash that other file that was mentioned in the OP of the thread I linked to remove the protection on that directory.

EDIT: But maybe thats because I flashed the resurrection version than tried flashing the extreme edition and now I have the extreme edition.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
I hadn't tested using the terminal Emulator, I used ADB, works like a charm, even though file exists!! Can be overwritten any number of times without any problems!

Thanks for catching that! Updated OP! If anyone needs help in using ADB, let me know!
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Oh, I didnt try ABD. I was using the terminal emulator. I'll try ADB and see what happens.

EDIT: Just tried it using ADB and it says that it failed to copy because the operation is not permitted.

EDIT2: Now my boot log is just a black screen, which is 10x better than the scrambled screen, but I made a custom one all ready to go =(.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
That's a beautiful Logo!! Did u get it to work?? Send me PM for detailed instructions!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Anyone here flash 9.3 yet?? Its available on the IRC Channel now, from what they are saying there its nice.

Im going to try and flash once the phone charges up but just wondering if anyone here has yet? Darkyy said just do the no kernel, and no modem options in the app and we'll be good to go.

EDIT: Just flashed its super fast, 8 minute install after I downloaded. Just did no kernel no modem. Kept my JL3 and SuckerPunch. This thing is SUPER snappy. havent gotten to play with anything else but brand new THEMED market which is sick.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I will flash that as soon as I reflash 9.2 resurrection.

EDIT: Nvm. I'll flash that when its out of alpha.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So I figured it out. If you flash using the resurrection version, there is no logo_ATNT.jpg file. This is why its scrambled I believe. But if you tried what I tried by flashing the extreme edition zip on top of the ressurection version, it places some file in the directory and you can no longer replace it. I reflashed with odin and i pushed the file no problem. Restarting now to see if it worked.

EDIT: Hell yeah. It worked. I love it. It looks so slick. Everyone is free to use my boot logo, just remember who made it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
My ODIN has been sitting at "Set Partition" for like 5 minutes now, is it really doing something, or has it frozen?

Anyone know how I can delete system apps in this rom like Telegraaf, DigiLezen, etc...also need to replace swype, as the included version has limited functionality.
[Captivate Android Development] csingh:
Hey guys, I have my Rogers Captivate running Darky 7.8 (old, I know :P) and I wanted to update to 9.2..

But I was wondering, is there anything special I have to do coming from such an old version? Like maybe disable a lag fix or something (I've heard stuff similar to this). And if so, could you tell me how?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mcann:
Boot Screen and Temporary Bluetooth Dialing

Full 7 days with 9.2 and working flawlessly. As much as I like to flash other roms to look for "something better", I can't convice myself to do this. It's working just as I feel it should be working. Using real world apps, not trying to squeak out an extra couple of points from a synthetic benchmark.

I also got my own custom boot screen to install. It works using the method shown in the video I linked to from an earlier post. I'm not sure about using the adb method, but I can tell you with much certainty that if your custom screen exceeds 20k your phone WILL NOT reboot. I tried with much failure to flash multiple screens in excess of 20k and it never worked. Save your aggravation for something worth it.

I was using Google voice search to locate an address and it was working through my Blue Ant T1. That never happened before. To test it I covered the phone mic with my thumb and tried another search. Still working. I also use Vlingo so I tried that. When I press the "Tap and Speak" button I normally get the sound horn icon with the red ball on the bottom. This time I got the Bluetooth "B" symbol and it was listening through the headset. I tapped the headset with my fingernail and it registered. I tapped the phone mic and nothing. I wanted to try it again. I rebooted the phone and as of this post I've been unable to make it work again. I can't recreate the scenario to get the bt working. But to all the devs who read this, there is a way to make it happen. It may not be officially supported, but the functionality exists. Luckily for me I do Windows database programming. Because if I knew Android/Linux/Unix I'd be up all night trying to figure it out!

MC
[Captivate Android Development] mcann:
After kicking around for a bit, I did manage to get Vlingo to work through bt, but not Google. Try this a see what happens:

1. start your bt radio, headset, and Vlingo

2. click "Tap and Speak". You should see the sound horn with red ball

3. use the Android Task Manager (long press the home button) and turn off Vlingo.

4. start Vlingo again and connect with bt
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Did you even read the OP? The instructions are in there as well as in a pdf in the zip containing the necessary files.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
When you say 20k, you mean KB? Because my boot logo is 47KB and it worked perfectly fine..

EDIT: Sorry for double post.
[Captivate Android Development] mcann:
Boot Screen

Yes, 20kb. I made a few near 40 with no luck and a few more near 30 with no luck. Once I got to 20 and under, I was able to make them work. Were you using adb or the odin method?

MC
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I was using adb. I think when you flash 9.2 using the resurrection method, there is no logo_ATNT.jpg file (and so the boot logo screen is all scrambled). As a result you can just use adb (or a terminal emulator) to copy your desired logo to the /mnt/.lfs/ folder because the file doesn't exist. If you don't use the odin method to flash 9.2, you have to flash that other file in the thread I linked earlier to be able to replace the copy protected logo file. If you want to really get the boot logo to work, reflash 9.2 using odin and set it all up, then push the file you want.
[Captivate Android Development] mcann:
Thanks for your idea. Since I did get it working I think I'll just leave well enough alone for now. Maybe when I get tired of it I'll try switching. Now that my phone no longer randomly shuts down on its own, I only see the boot screen once a day.

[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
How the earpice volume on this rom compared to Firefly 2.1. Firefly earpice volume has been better than any 2.2.1 based rom I've tried, and I've tried most of them, but not this one. I have found all 2.2.1 roms to have weak earpiece volume that makes it hard for my ears to hear, even with Voodoo Control and Galaxy Tweaker fixes. I prefer not to waste my time, if the earpice volume is low even if it is faster. The phone is pretty useless as a phone if I can't hear the volume.

So does anybody have a comparison, It would be nice if somebody could compare the volumes with a decibal meter for something, but that would be asking a lot.
