Thank you. And interesting on iOS; certainly sounds like a safer, more controlled way of handling it from Apple's point of view. Though, personally not brand-conversion points in their favor; definitely foresee myself sticking with Android over Apple-anything (I've never bought anything Apple; seriously, not even hand-me-downs). I'm sure the Android OS will only get better to combat unnecessary battery life issues.

I do, I do... though I just haven't started putting my trust into it until very recently.

I remember it giving me errors back when I was on Android 1.5-1.6 and since then I've been a stickler for a true backup of my .apk's in a re-installable format, which MyBackup Pro does (TB does some weird .gz after all .apk backups of which renaming doesn't even help). Though, I got errors on backing up data with MyBackup Pro, so for a time I was using MyBackup Pro to backup .apk's and TB to backup data. Convoluted, I know. I'm going to go full TB though and maybe only use MyBackup Pro for certain .apk's I wish to give to a friend or something. Anywho, yes :) I'm now on the bandwagon.

Anyone else think it's weird it's slanged as "TiBu"? I get why, but "TiBa" or just plain "TB" sounds more appropriate to me since 'Backup' is one word and the Ti part uses only the first two letters of the first word... I actually thought it was a new program people were including in their ROM's, lol. :p
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I don't think android will ever get as good battery life that iOS gets. Much in the same way that I don't think iOS will ever support flash, hdmi output, or a pulldown notification menu.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I'm guessing that's because of the differences in multitasking and aOS having widgets that actively update? I don't think I could ever go back to ios.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Once I figured out how to enable sideloading (which is now included in all of the decent custom ROMs), I never had any issues with it.

Just don't try backing up and restoring system apps and settings on different ROMs and rom versions. You'll end up with a lot of annoying force closes after restoring them. Stick to backing up user apps only and you'll be fine.

I think the whole TiBu thing is likely just aesthetics. TiBu is cooler looking than TiBU and more specific than TB, which is the acronym for terabyte.

[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Perhaps that was my problem back in the day actually, doing system app backups when I shouldn't have been when switching between ROMs. I remember settling on Cyanogenmod and not caring to convert cause of how crappy the t-mobile G1 hardware was, so didn't really need TiBu... I knew nothing would make me happy with that specific phone model.

And I strangely didn't think of the confusion with Terabytes :confused:, TiBu for the inside-crowd it is then.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I restore all apps without data and then selectively go back in and restore data.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
That's funny. I've been getting longer battery life than my business colleague who uses both the iPhone 3gs and 4, and I'm a heavier user than her.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Weird, my brother has an iphone 4 and his screen on time is 4hrs and 48mins @ 58% battery life. That's way better than any android phone I've seen.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
We gotta remember that most phones are manufactured at the same place using the same parts. Lol. I should know this...
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Ok, this ROM sounds simply amazing. The black and white theme plus great battery life is tempting me. However, I do have a few questions I'd like to ask before flashing.

There are some stock apps I'd like to put on the phone, and some that I'd like to put on. Can I unzip the ROM, add/remove the apks for the corresponding apps into the system/app folder, rezip, then flash?

Also, I'm running Serendipity 6.2 at the moment and you mention that this can be flashed over? I normally flash back to stock, but I'd rather not if I don't have to, so what steps exactly can I take to flash over?

Sorry for the overload of questions and I hope they all make sense. Can't wait to try out this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
First of all, you will have no problems flashing this over Serendipity.

Secondly, if you wish to add any apks to the ROM follow these steps.

1. Download 7-zip.

2. OPEN, but do not unzip, the ROM using 7-zip.

3. Drag the apks you want to include into the system/app folder.

4. Close the window, you're done!

The same goes for the kernel or modem, simply drag the zImage (kernel) or Modem.bin into the updates folder. I recommend 7-zip because it does not screw up the zip compression.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Thank you very much!

Before flashing, should I clear Dalvik and disable lagfix?

EDIT: Sorry, last question: Is flash player included? I'm not seeing the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Would be safer and yes Dalvik wipe after... I always Dalvik anyways....I can't remember if he includes that but you can easily get it from the market after.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Oh, very true. I didn't even think about it being in the market. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Ok, love the ROM+theme so far! The only thing I miss is Swype. I'm having the hardest time getting any themed Swype to install properly. When I do install them, it says the trial is up. Does anyone have a non-trial themed version that would work?
[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
You can always rip Swype from another ROM. Just remember to copy both the .apk (from /system/app) and the corresponding libSwypeCore.so (from /system/lib) when merging it into Precision.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
That's what I've been doing, and none of them work. I finally installed one from Precision 2.5 and it's telling me that the package I installed is configured for another device?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Dig through my previous posts in this thread to see how to get it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Will do, thanks.

Installing beta, dropping themed Swypelibcor and Swype apk files into the correct places, and rebooting worked! Thanks a ton to everyone who has helped me here while trying to get Precision set up to my liking. Really enjoying it so far, especially the Monochrome theme. I hope ryude continues development on this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Glad you like it, I am working on an update it will be done soon.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
This is one of the most stable ROMs out there. You won't be disappointed.

It works so good, it will test your flashing addiction.

We all have to be patient and I am sure it will payoff in the next update, whatever Ryude has planned.

:D
[Captivate Android Development] automatek:
I've gotten a couple of emails from my friends in Korea and the text shows up as squares instead of korean characters.

Does anyone know which APK I have to install in order to have this ROM support Korean as all the other ROMs I've tried have done?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
^I've also had a problem with characters showing up as squares. It happened in the Make Your Clock widget beta. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Not really a big deal though, I just used a different template. I would like to know if it was a problem with the app or the ROM itself, though.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I believe this was already touched upon earlier in this thread. Ryude removed the additional fonts to save space I believe. It's as easy as copying one file over though. Search through the thread!

EDIT: To help you all, look here and here. Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Sorry, I wasn't the one who brought up the problem in the first place and it wasn't that big of a deal to me, so I didn't bother to search.

A "problem" that I did search, however, was that of battery temperature. I like to monitor my battery temperature and keep it as low as possible. On this ROM, while plugged in, my battery stays around 30 degrees Celsius and above.Even if I let it sit for an hour or two, the battery stays warm, only dropping a degree or two. I'm a stickler for low temps, and I've never ran into this problem. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] automatek:
I looked through the forum just breifly and I don't think I used the right search terms, cause I didn't find anything.

I do GREATLY appriciate you helping me find these posts though.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Are you using SuckerPunch for OC/UV or some other kernal that supports OC? If so what are your Voltage Control app settings? And if you're using SuckerPunch, have you updated to #57? #58 is out now, but people seem to be having problems with voodoo sound v5 on that, so I would stick with #57.

Only time mine gets warm is when it's plugged in and I have the brightness settings all the way up... or when I'm overclocking to 1400MHz. I only go to 1300MHz.

Yeah I had trouble searching just "fonts" and finding anything at first, but "foreign" is what helped me. And you're welcome.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Well I just flashed 3.5 last night, and I haven't messed with Voltage Control at all. I'm running SuckerPunch 50, which may be the problem. I'll update to 57 and see what happens, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
which to flash

i have a 1897 cappy which hardcore kernel would i flash with this rom.1900 or the 1897?just a little confused on that one.awesome rom by the way.cant wait till 4.0.thanks for the hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Make sure you use the kernel for your phone, in this case it would be I897 Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
Thank you for the quick reply.that was one area I was unsure on had my cappy for about a month and a half been reading a lot and that bit of info clears a lot up.you ever need anything tested I would be honored.thanks again for the hard work it takes a lot to get a rom down to this point and have everything work right.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
If you're not looking into over-clocking, there are probably better options (assumption). SuckerPunch has a version that's not overclocked, titled #9 now. But again that probably has the same voodoo sound v5 bugs, so I would stick with #8 on that. Speedmod K13C (of which SuckerPunch is built off of) is another great option.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Flashed SuckerPunch 8 and the temp problem already seems to be better. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Has anyone tried fugu tweaks on this rom?

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I did, works great...
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Using it now. Not sure how to test that it's making a difference, but it feels snappier. Make sure you update SuckerPunch to at least #56, I believe that is the first of that line to support fugu tweaks. Wonder if #59 got rid of the bugs in #58...

Sent from my Samsung Captivate w/ Precision 3.5/SuckerPunch #57
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I'm actually running #9 of the voodoo version, which supports it as well, so I guess I'll go ahead and give it a shot.

Update: wow, this mod is definitely doing what it says. It feels a lot more responsive. Folder organizer folder links pop up instantly and apps start loading as soon as i tap the icon. Very nice :P

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Yeah, that's what I thought too. No voodoo sound v5 volume bug on version #9? There's an update on the OC/UV line that fixes it in #59 and remember reading that your line contains it too. Be on the lookout for a #10 at least anyways, #59 just released today and I'm sure if #9 needs it too it'll be updated soon.

Ryude, not sure if you're doing a new wipe ROM, but if so or not, it would be nice to enable fugu tweaks by default or at least link it in the OP or 2nd post. Worth it.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate w/ Precision 3.5/SuckerPunch #57
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
The bug is in both versions, but existz us working on a fix for it and has a test build up now for version #10

Fugu tweaks definitely needs to be in the update for sure. It's very simple to add as well, as it only replaces two system/bin files.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Has anyone else had problems running Words With Friends on SuckerPunch 59 + JK4 modem? I just flashed both of those in the past 24 hours, and before WWF was working fine, so I'm not sure which is the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I'm pretty sure it's just the app being poorly written. It barely works on my phone and I'm running sp-voodoo #9 with jk4. There's also a lot of comments about fc's on the app's page in the market.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Yeah, the app definitely has some issues, but it was running fine one moment, and the next, it was FCing every time I attempted to open it. So I was just wondering if the kernel/modem was the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Would I have to edit the config file or replace bin files in order to enable fugu tweak?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Replace 2 files in \system\bin

EDIT: Here they are....
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
I just dropped the bin files in and it appears to be it. Based on the install script for fugu that's all it does.

BIG Problem

I'm running Precision 3.5, SuckerPunch 59, and JK4. I don't use my phone for calling much, but the first time I did after flashing these three things, I discovered a big problem: I can only hear the people on the other end when on speaker. Anyone know what the issue may be? I looked around call settings and didn't find anything. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Btw, I searched, but didn't find anything, so please don't hate me.

Edit: Wow, a simple reboot fixed it. Wonder what the deal was?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Sounds like you got a bad flash of something, did you have those problems before flashing the kernel or modem?

Edit: Oh, you had the flight mode bug. It happens right after you flash modems, either toggle flight mode or restart :)
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if it happens again.
[Captivate Android Development] automatek:
Great job on 3.5 btw.

My wife is really anxious for ur new Precision ROM. Any indication how close u r to releasing it? A day or two, a week or two?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It's great that people are looking forward to updates, but I cannot give a deadline. I'm too busy with work, but I do try to put in a little time every day.

I'm rebuilding the ROM from JS8 base, so it should be a big improvement; I'm also rebuilding the themes from JS8 framework to fix any problems they have.

Staying true to what makes Precision great: Simple, Stable, and Smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] jake.corey.jacobs:
Thats great Ryude, precision was def the best rom around imo. Too bad your not still working on torch, i was super excited to see what you could do with the KB1 base and source. =)

Looking forward to when you finish a JS8 based precision! Take care man.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Thank you Ryude almighty... Can't wait to grab that piece of ROM. Tryed everything..... Precision is what I was hoping in my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
There's just a lot more people that want a Precision update compared to Torch. I can't do both, so I had to choose Precision.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
W00t! JS8

With all these JS7 ROMs coming out not too long ago, and then you drop a JS8-bomb on us with theme updates! You made my afternoon today feel like Christmas, thank you. Well... Christmas Eve; Still waiting to open presents! :D
[Captivate Android Development] jake.corey.jacobs:
Kinda what I figured tbh. Either way your work is most def appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I also updated Swype to the newest Lite version (English and Spanish only), and themed the Swype black. I can't test if it works or not, but it should.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
You had me at hello. I can test :)
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
SwiftKey Possible?

I don't use Swype as I found Swiftkey to be much faster once it learned how I speak as well as use less battery... Is it possible to theme that keyboard black too? It's a paid-for app so perhaps not is my guess... :( They claim to have a black theme in the next version, if they ever release it...

*EDIT* Never mind... signed up for SwiftKey VIP forum access and got the beta release. :) It has a "dark" theme selection... it's not all black like I'd want it to be, but it's alright. Better than Swype still. :P Yeah, I'm a hater...
[Captivate Android Development] jake.corey.jacobs:
Getting better and better! Btw, we should all pool together and get Ryude another Cappy for dev purposes!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Hehe, would be nice but that's not necessary. Updated busybox and su binaries as well. Every day I think of something else I need to update or fix or add :)

Oh yeah, and the kernel is Suckerpunch #59 with tweaks enabled, fugu tweak enabled, and still not using a lagfix by default. JIT enabled by default, all fonts included, and all services are included (such as social networking, sync, and vpn).
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Count me in as a willing and able tester whenever you are ready!

Geez, we've got somewhat of a cult following here. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Could you tell me where to get a qwerty version of Swype..... I only found the azerty version on beta swype.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I actually don't use swype lol, but I am using the Lite beta swype.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Swype Beta?

Did you try the new beta released just 11 days ago? http://beta.swype.com/

I installed it for about 5 minutes to poke around, mine was defaulted to qwerty. So I think you shouldn't have any problems with that... unless it's licensing during installation. Just be sure to delete the libSwypeCore (I forget exactly what the file name is but that's close) file as well as uninstall older versions of Swype before installing the new one.

Swype in the changelog says that word prediction (disabled by default) is better, but I really hate their word selection dialog box (horizontal, detached from keyboard and covering what I'm looking at), so I immediately uninstalled and went back to SwiftKey. SwiftKey's is nicely attached to the keyboard using 3 buttons with rocking word prediction :).
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
My problem with swype is that I have to actually think about how to write a word, whereas tap typing I just do it without a thought. Swype for me is slow as ****, and really frustrating.

Maybe I'm just stubborn :)
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I know I'm stubborn. Do you not use SwiftKey? You really use stock keyboard only?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Ryude, will you need testers? Count me in if so. I ran SukerPunch+ Voodoo v11and it ran smooth all day. I came to believe that benchmarks meant nothing thanks to Precision.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I tried a few of the keyboards on the market, nothing comes close to matching the gingerbread keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
The gingerbread keyboard included with your ROM is alright. I do like how the word suggestions show up, allowing for more than 3 options to be displayed at once... however there's just no word prediction going on, merely suggestions that I must always type in 2 or more letters for it to show what I want, because it always goes back to displaying single character suggestions.

To each his own keyboard style I suppose. I love it when I can sometimes type a whole sentence without hitting the actual keyboard keys but 2 or 3 times for the whole sentence, punctuation included. But that kind of performance was only after about a month of using it and it learned my style.

Hope you (and others still using Swype/stock in this forum thread) gave it a fair shot, otherwise I can help but feel you're (all) missing out on much faster input.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
That's why I'm trying to include Swype, because not everyone likes what I like :)
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
:cool: True true, and I'm sure all the Swypers thank you endlessly. :) Even though I uninstall both keyboards I still thank you endlessly too.

[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
I was never a big fan of LauncherPro cause it always had some nasty drain to my battery but for a few others it seems to work just fine. I use ADW EX and my battery lasts way longer compared to LauncherPro. Flash the theme Ryude did in the 2nd post after his OP. I get 28+ hours per charge on a 600/-100 UC/UV everything. Right now at 12 hours since unplugged and only at 70 percent battery.

[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I'm using LPP right now. I also have jit enabled, lagfix enabled, and a bit of overclocking/undervolting with SuckerPunch #59. My battery lasts me all I need. Keep jit disabled, lagfix disabled, and OC/UV with SuckerPunch to a minimum or not at all and you'll get even more battery life than me. You should definitely see a positive difference in battery life compared to other ROMs in general right out of the box (er, flash). Also, the screen can save even more battery life with the theme in the 2nd post. Black takes less power with AMOLED screens. Same goes with the advice to switch to push email for gmail email rather than using the gmail app (also 2nd post I believe).

And there are no wallpapers really cause I imagine it is to save space on the ROM (being a minimalist ROM). I recommend QuickPic (free in market) to help select wallpaper from an sd-card, as well as replace the included gallery (if there is one in Precision, can't remember). It's much, much faster than stock gallery app.
