As far as I understand, this is an harbinger of a possible Captivate version of the upcoming Darky's v10. Is it possible to flash this over a working v9.5 installation? Or, should I try it with a v10 release candidate?
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I flashed over 9.5 with the app.

I am about to Flash the Dark Core Tar on my Cappy. Do I need the "re-partition" Clicked along with "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset time" in Odn?
[Captivate Android Development] hankito:
I flashed this kernel and ive been using it for hours with no apparent problems, if anything it seems better than the kernel I had

Thanks again Ficeto for this Renzokuken (FFVIII) Kernel.. It rockks! :)

Andd for some reason today, I just love happy faces! :D :) :cool: lol! I'm random sometimes :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Is enabling lagfix recommended with Dark Core or it just personal choice
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I would say do it. My phone is beautiful right now
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I found out Lag fix is enabled by Default.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Thanks.. Kernel Dark Core 1.4 link added to OP!
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Well I must have had a glitch because lagfix wasn't enabled as Default. So I enabled and running Faster
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
I flashed the original 9.5 and forgot to select install swype. Where I can I find a CWM package to flash it?
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Really liking this rom however I just can't seem to get any decent battery life. Was using onix for a few days then switched to sucker_voodoo and battery life was also awful. Now trying dark core and hoping for better results. Other than the awful battery life I'm experiencing, this is one of the most complete roms I have used to date. it does everything I expect it too. Just wow, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Calibrate battery and charge it for a few more times for the battery draining to get back to normal

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
I do not like calibrating my battery, but just did it. I normally just let it drain all the way through as I did last evening then charge it full. I normally do this a couple times.

Hopefully itll do well on the dc metro gauntlet today.lol
[Captivate Android Development] :
I don't like calibrating as well :p

but my battery issues don't seem to be cropping up anymore
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So I've been having issues with call quality and connection with the KP1 modem. Calls were static and yesterday my phone dropped 7 calls in a row. I flashed TL3 again and its tons better.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I tried KB1 Modem also with about the same results. You would think a 2.3.2 Modem would be OK with a ROM based on 2.3.2 but must be something in the file that causes problems,at least for me.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I just noticed that the modem was switched to JQ1 with 9.5 (I had KP1 from 9.4, haven't updated becuase I haven't had a need). What are people's opinions on that compared to modems that have been overall positive? (e.g. TL3)
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Added Swype and AM/PM Toggle

Guys,

I've added AM/PM toggle and Swype (for those who need them) in the Add-on section in OP!!

AM/PM toggle can be seen in Settings -> Date and Time

Enjoy :)
[Captivate Android Development] fadetoblack2104:
I'm running speedmod k13c right now. . . do I need to disable lagfix before flashing this?
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
JQ1 isnt a native 850 modem and actually requires a special procedure to activate the 850 band. This was seen in the stickied modem thread at the top of the modem. So those who are particularly dependent on 850 will see reduced signal with this modem without flashing it a special way.

Personally I would recommend JVK. Great battery, call quality, and gps is great as well. It does require the same flashing procedure as JQ1

EDIT: Or try the new KC1 or JP9 modems also located in the modem thread. Have native 850 bands and would probably be more reliable than JQ1 as a rom default
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
It is recommend on Darky's site to Disable Lagfix and also turn off any Speedmod Tweaks you have.

Help with changing the logo_ATNT.jpg

Does the 9.2 base install flash make this possible compared to flashing the stock JF6 via ODIN. I had loaded 9.5 and got this working I think by using root explorer. However, I am now trying a different ROM (I'm an addict :eek: - continuum V4) and I flashed the stock JF6 first. I have reinstalled root a few times via CWM (Onyx 2.0.5) and I even updated busybox to the 1.19.0 version I saw came with Darky 9.5. Below is what I get all the time. I tried going into root explorer and pasting the custom logo I had working before (400x800) directly over the existing logo and it gives me a space issue and the .lfs folder then shows empty which initially scared me but all the other files show up again on a reboot. Any ideas? Sorry if I shouldn't post this here when trying a different ROM but this is the only ROM that shows how to replace the dreaded ATNT logo :cool:

C:\android_sdk\platform-tools>adb push logo_ATNT.jpg /mnt/.lfs

failed to copy 'logo_ATNT.jpg' to '/mnt/.lfs/logo_ATNT.jpg': Operation not permitted

Edit: I found this has been answered. My problem is that I used the ODIN one click JF6 flash to stock before flashing continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks and here's my donation due - Confirmation number: 6S373629A4982604D.

I didn't realize you had answered until today - I did eventually get the logo to work after flashing the base 9.2 in step 1. I added a post today before I saw you replied. I have tried another ROM - continuum, and I again can't replace the logo but I did the flash to stock JF6 before going to continuum. I didn't know if I flashed another custom ROM on top of the base 9.2 flash would cause any problems since I'm not sure if the partitioning is different than stock, etc.:confused:

Edit: I was trying to update busybox in an attempt to get the ADB command to work to replace the AT&T logo. That's how I discovered the space issue and I didn't know what problems that could cause (other than I couldn't update busybox).

Also, I flashed the param.lfs for i897 from mobile tech videos and then easily pushed my custom logo_ATNT.jpg without having to reset up anything :)
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Thank you.. It'll be put to good use! And I would really appreciate if you could point out on how this ROM can be improved. If there's any thing you see in Continuum, that u wished was in Darkyy's I'll work on it!
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks Rickysa. Darky 9.5 and Continuum V4 are very close - both are top contenders for the Captivate IMHO. A few items I'd like to see in Darky's ROM that are in Continuum V4 are below. I hope you don't mind me comparing another ROM in this thread. I was really impressed with your ROM and I would go back to it when some to most of these are added. These are mostly in order of preference.

1) Make it fully compatible with the UOT kitchen. I really like to tweak all the icons, animations, etc. I tried it with Darky 9.5 and it did NOT go well. Thankfully, I had a nandroid backup to fall back on. :)

2) Protection against the market security flaw

3) Link ringtone and notification volume - A minor thing but it is helpful

4) Disable the battery full indication - Again a minor item but it's annoying if the phone is near your bed.

5) Full market access - Honestly, I haven't found anything yet useful that I couldn't get on Darky's so I don't know that there really is any difference.

Again, thanks for all your hard work. I'm sure Darky, you, and the rest of the team's work have helped improve other ROMs such as Continuum V4.:D
[Captivate Android Development] agaruba:
Hey Guys,

I'm having an issue. I clean installed darky 9.5 following exact method from OP (including Part 1 with the use of Odin). I also flashed Dark Core 1.4 and i'm using the JQ1 modem on my samsung captivate. I thought i enabled voodoo lagfix from the recovery menu... when i looked in the voodoo control app, it showed this:

Status: Ext 4 lagfix active; Ext4 on /cache /dbdata/ data

When i clicked lagfix preferences i found a checkmark next to Ext4 conversion but none next to ext4 system. Does this mean I don't have lagfix enabled on my /system (which i previously enabled in the recovery menu)? When i ticked Ext 4 system and rebooted, a robotic voice said "not enough space on the partition". How can i create space on the partition?

EDIT: Solved by using darky rom configuratior and deselecting Samsung social apps, no wipe and reflashing 9.5 then trying again.
[Captivate Android Development] Little Dragon:
Sorry but does this include the AppWidgetPicker??
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Yeah I'm pretty sure you're all good.
[Captivate Android Development] agaruba:
does anyone know how to change number of homescreens on default launcher that came with darky?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am running Darky 9.5 with JL3 Modem and since I am in Area with NO 3G I have my Phone set to WCDMA only. Today I had my phone in my pocket and I must have hit something because I have no AT&T service now. All settings seem correct and I have Powered Off and ON a few times and still nothing. I pulled the Sim Card and placed in old phone and I have service so I must have hit some button or something. Any Clues what I might have hit or how to get my Service back?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I got it going it must have been some Glitch. I changed to "GSM/WCDMA(auto mode) and then rebooted phone and I got Service. I am afraid to now go back to WCDMA only(which I was on previously) now so I am going to leave it alone for now.
[Captivate Android Development] jecsah:
anyone else running into issues on Dark Core? My phone's internal/external cards stopped showing up when connected to PC and I had intermittent charging issues where the phone would refuse to charge past a certain percentage. This was after clearing cache and battery recalibration.

I just switched to Onix and all is back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] nosenuggets45:
I'm default on stock launcher. When I change my wallpaper, it doesn't show the effect until I launch TW launcher, then the stock launcher also shows it. Bug or am I making an error?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
mine does that too but I always fixed it by selecting the wallpaper a second time... and it does it when i'm using launcherpro also... seems like it's hit or miss.... didnt know launching TW launcher would fix it...
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Regarding battery life, here are some screen shots showing actual display time, since that's usually the part of the phone that consumes the most energy. My phone is currently at 40%. I'm running 9.2 (after a flash from odin/2.1 eclair) with the I9088/ZNKP1 modem set to WCDMA 850 only, and the SuckerPunch Kernel build #36, overclocked to 1200 MHz. Screen brightness set to auto and I haven't used wifi on this charge.

Glad this has been resurrected! Used Darky's 6.0 for a long time til I switched to Phoenix. Look forward to flashing this.

Extreme Edition

Added extreme edition link and other kernel links to OP.

Edited guide a little to make it more clearer!
[Captivate Android Development] DarkVasyaK:
what is ressurection.zip?
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
It's basically add-on packages to the already base 9.2 ROM slim version! Whatever is installed from the resurrection package is configured by using the DarkyRom Configurator
[Captivate Android Development] addicted2088:
It contains all the Live Wallpapers, Fonts, Samsung Apps, Swype, different kernels, etc. which you can install after the base ROM, by customizing what you want and what you don't through the DarkyROM configurator. Base ROM doesn't have the above things. :)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
#69 :)

Any reason this version of Darky's ROM requires so many steps? Can't we just replace the kernel/modem to the base rom and flash it like the other Darky ROM's?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
It's an ODIN version that installs the base, and the resurrection.zip is the different kernals and extra stuff... most likely set up this way so that changes can be made to resurrection.zip and the configurator if needed and the rom stays the same....

heres a CWM version:

http: //darky.ficeto .com/community/index.php?threads/v9-2-final-stable-like-a-revolution-cwm-version-big-update.560/

configurator still works as usual, and modem and kernal can be changed like usual.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Understood that it was an print version, just didn't know of a clockwork version and why it was different this time around... thank you for the link tho!
[Captivate Android Development] shinigammi:
the home button problem and sensor motion also in my i897 , =(

[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
u flashed the CWM version? what is your model number in settings, about phone

If it says, I879, you need to flash a different captivate kernal
[Captivate Android Development] miamor:
Flash the ROM as given in the instructions in the OP!

If you flashed the CWM version, flash the kernel as provided in the OP!!

[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
None here either
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
WCDMA is the 3G connection, GSM is the edge connection. So by selecting WCDMA only what you did was force to phone to only search out a 3G connection and since you were in an area with no 3G connection, you did not have service both voice and data. If you did this in a 3G area you would have no issue.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks. It is odd I know I have no 3g in my area(suppose to be here this summer) and I have always only had "wcdma only" checked I had service until Wed.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbyte.me:
This is definitely a Modem problem. With Some modems I also face this kind of problem. They do not detect 3g network while on WCDMA but show 2g networks.
[Captivate Android Development] tejas offroad:
Is anyone else having problems with mms not sending or receiving?
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
I have had that problem on and off. I flashed a half dozen roms, back to stock, CM7, etc. I finally determined it was only a network issue. MMS from Tmobile to ATT seems the most problematic. If you are testing to track down the issue I would suggest not using only one person sending you MMS. I made that mistake and spent a week flashing and cussing. Then someone on a different network sent me an MMS out of the blue and it worked just fine. Then the Tmobile MMS came in for a while. Then they stopped. but most others come in just fine.

Not saying that what you problem is, just saying what I found myself. I could however always send, I think. :)
[Captivate Android Development] morgej:
No problems here receiving and forwarding MMS messages to/from ATT (just completed successfully a few minutes ago).
[Captivate Android Development] FireRaider:
So with the other cooks jumping on the 2.3.3 bandwagon with the I9000 Gingerbread release are we going to see a v10 ported over to the Captivate by Darky?

I see he is working on a version 10 for the I9000. So I am thinking its just a matter of time? Or do the plans not include updating further?

Just curious as this is the rom I ended up liking the best after 10 months of flashing. But you know how the flash addiction is.:)

Thoughts on upgrading to Gingerbread?

Hi Rickysa,

You probably saw that other ROMs are either at a beta of GB or expecting to release within a few days. Any thoughts on a port of Darky 10.x to the Captivate? The problem with bricking due to boot-loaders apparently is if you upgrade to JVB boot loaders and then use the 3 button fix to go back to stock which only reverts the secondary boot-loader to eclair and the primary is left as GB so you get a shiny brick. The safer way to revert is Odin one-click which reverts both boot loaders. With that understanding (provided it is proved out in the next few days), are you planning to release the GB port?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Good question and looking forward to Ricky's answer but I read on Darky's i9000 forum that Joel(aka darky) was taking some time off but maybe his team is still working on getting Darky 10 Finalized. Concerning the 3 button deal, since I have a phone without 3 button I have always used the Odin with 3 button fix included when I go to Stock. Is the way to go now to only used Odin 1 click and then Flash 3 button fix Zip via CWM if I want to go to Stock and try the new GB Roms?

Edit: I think I figured out the 3 Button deal. Once I Flash the new Bootloaders I should now have 3 Button capabilities at all times. So if I wanted to back to Stock I would only need to use Odin 1 Click and I would be at Stock with 3 Button.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
If you want a safe way to go back to stock after updating the boot-loaders then I "believe" the safest way is to use > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143

That returns the phone to stock without updating the boot-loaders so you will still have the GB boot-loaders. Also, I have read that with the new loaders, vol. up and power is recovery and vol. down and power is download mode. Supposedly the Gingerbread JVB boot-loaders are backward compatible with eclair and froyo. As always, there is a RISK in any of this... :P

If you use the ODIN 1 click (JF6 at least) then you will revert both boot-loaders. However, as you said, you could do that and do the 3 button after. On my 1007 build, I've always had the 3 button combo even with the one-click JF6. I hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks so much for the Link I had been trying to find the jf6 file that was posted there.

How to Boot v10.0 RC5b2

Hey guys I have been talking with Ficeto all day today, and he says hes planning on working on a DC2 kernel for the Captivate sometime soon. But I came back to the Dark(y) side of the world, and I have Darky 10.0 RC5b2 up and running PERFECTLY on my captivate. Here is how:

1. Flash stock JVB (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045734)

2. Flash X'Cal's latest GB reoriented kernel after a complete boot of stock JVB (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042543)

3. Once you have orientation and buttons all working correctly download the Darky Rom Configurator App.

4. Select NO-Modem, NO-Kernel, and do not have the Nexus S bootanimation.

5. Download RC5b2 (http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/rom-beta-darky-v10-rc5-b2.2420/)

5.5. **YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLASH RC3 OR ANY OF THE OTHER "RC's" PRIOR TO FLASHING BECAUSE RC5 IS WITH THE JVB BOOTLOADERS WHICH YOU WILL ALREADY HAVE BY FLASHING STOCK JVB.**

6. Flash via CWM.

7. Let it boot up a voila you should be up and running with Darky 10.0 RC5b2, running smoothly.

And I can't even wait till Ficeto gets his hands on the source of X'Cals kernel he should have a DC2 kernel for us fairly soon.

Hope that helped.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Darky's V10 ROM on the I9000 thread mentions it needs the JVM bootloaders rather than JVB. Are they compatible?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
ya thats why you flash RC5b2, its JVB bootloader compatible.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I actually just did this minutes ago after agonizing for an hour. I was on a Rom kitchen rom and did a factory reset then used the darky app with no kernel no modem and only grey settings. The only issue is I lost the home button fix but that is a super quick fix. Sooooooo smooth!
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Were you on JVB or another version such as JVM bootloaders before flashing? Does Darky 10 modify the bootloaders at all? I just want to be sure since people have hard-bricked their phones when flashing back to stock from JVB with the 3 button fix which updates only the secondary boot-loader. I did feel relatively safe before with a JIG but problems with boot-loaders can brick it for good.
[Captivate Android Development] ottawadad34:
Im on Continuum5 Gingerbread ß3. Whats the way to use Darky 10.0 RC5b2?
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I was on jvb. I haven't been flashing to stock at all. Just data wipe prior and cache clears after. Darky 10 takes you through flashing stock jvb then installing 10 rc5 over it. Here is the link http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc4-now-much-easier.2382/.

Get on any jvb with the modem you want and xcals kernel. Reboot to recovery. Do a data wipe. Download darky app and choose no modem no kernel and enjoy.
