How does this fair on SmartBench 2010?
[Captivate Android Development] :
SAMMMEEE!!!! :confused:

ditto

swype went trial period on mine as well

I'm using gingerbread keyboard right now as well, but I love using swype as I just need 1 hand to type/swype efficiently compared to the GB keyboard :/

how do we fix this OP?
[Captivate Android Development] Dubgray:
Help when i try to type in the text box of almost all forums it always scrolls down to the bottom. No matter what i type. If i pull the screen back up so i can see what i typed it stays until i hit another key. Anyone have any idea why? I am using the gingerbread keyboard with firebird 2. It never opens its own box just leaves the page open behind the keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Well maybe I am not an total idiot. Yesterday I thought I had figured out while my Wifi Sleep Policy wouldn't hold the setting of "When screen if off" because I wasn't Saving it correctly. Well this morning after the phone hadn't been idle but ON and plugged in to charge for 12 hrs I checked the Policy and it had again reverted back to "Never". I got no clue what causing this,any ideas?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I noticed the size of your latest re working of Dakry 9.3 is around 218 meg where as the 1st re working you did was 243 megs. Just for my General knowledge what was done to cause the size drop in the 2nd one?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Here is how it occurs. I can set Policy to "Always when Screen Off" and I do then go to Menu button and Save. I then let the phone set unused for 30 minutes and when I wake the phone up and check settings it has reverted to "Never". I can even go to Spare Parts app and set to "Android Default"(which I think is same as When screen off") and after 30 minutes it back to "Never". I am using your ROM with SuckerPunch/Voodoo Kernel and JL3 Modem.
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
i need swype back please help

thats a selling point for me

also im having severe issues with settings staying . for instance i have two launchers installed , ill go to o lets say voltage control , as soon as i hit home it asks which home do i want default. except i tell it atleast 10 times a day and it reverts to never saving ..

this has done it to me in the past three flashes of darky

suckerpunch 55

darky 9.3 updated

[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Might have something to do with your voodoo kernel. I noticed when I had all ext4 and the "/system" was in ext4 none of my settings were retained. Try using the other suckerpunch kernel that doesn't have voodoo. Or disable voodoo and see what happens

Anyone having setting problems try switching to speedmod or leaving lagfixes off. Your problem might have to do with suckerpunch tweaks. I'm using speedmod with all ext2 and I have no settings retention problems but when I was using ext4 on all partitions my settings would be lost on each reboot
[Captivate Android Development] contradude:
girlfriends captivate also saying swype expired. any ideas on a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] :
this please:o
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
My Swype DIED, too!

Sorry for her loss.

I've tried uninstalling via TB, and then reflashing the Darky ROM, but it's still boogered!

Help! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] contradude:
For what its worth, I used titanium backup to only backup apps and not app data. Odin to 9.2 and lagfix off and flashed 9.3 after doing a factory reset. Swype still not working.

Edit: meant swype. Darn you autocorrect!
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
Huh?

Skype or Swype? Not sure if that was a typo, or you were talking about something else. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
My swype randomly just died too...... Anyone have an idea for a fix?

Also, anyone else have a problem with their phone randomly turning off when charging? I'll hook my phone up to the charger and when I wake up in the morning my phone is turned off... Anyone know why? 9.3 with Suckerpunch 55.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I dont think this is a ROM bug. I'm using CM7 and Swype just expired for me as well.
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
totally is a rom bug it has to do with the fingerprint or the version swype is supposed to come full version on galaxy s they had an exclusive deal

man i think im bailing on this rom for good unless swype can be corrected

shame too bc its probably the best ive ever used

dragon looks promising and twingerbread
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Managed to hit a new record! This time with moderate/lite heavy usage (gps, texts, music, browsing) instead of lite usage. Once spring break is over I'll see how this bad boy fairs on campus all day!

:D
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
swype fixed

just go to swypebeta.com and register a name they send you an email link . dl swype installer. it installs swypee then you login with your registered name in the swype installer app next you generate a working key then validate swype. done less than 2 mins
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
That's great man. I have the problem that I charge full to 100% while powered off and it says 100 but when I turn it on it's only AR 97 or something like that :( ...so sad!

What should I do?
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
That's part of the way charging is done with modern electronics. This has been established time and time again. Its a mechanism to keep the battery from overcharging.
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
So when it says 100% I must believe it is well charged?
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Not true. The beta being used expired. Should only be a day or two until the new beta starts making the rounds. If that means you have to bail on this ROM, I hope you check other ROMs before jumping in with the blind assumption that Swype will be working there (since most ROMs use the very same version of the beta, the difference being whether it's for an I9000 or I897).
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
I call bull****. Was going to earlier on your other posts but didn't figure you'd try so hard to troll everybody about your magical battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Are there any themes for early? And how can you change the screen resolution? I use LCD density changer and it gives me an error that the similar has been removed
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
haha wow. Thats a lot of hate from someone who clearly has been here longer than I have. Can I ask why you're so mad? I mean I'm very willing to help anyone who is having battery life issues so I see no reason for the negativity. :D

Oh well I have nothing to prove to you and I'm certainly not going to mail you my phone for proof.

Also how exactly does one "bs" battery life? :confused:

EDIT: Also I'm not posting battery life to brag. I'm showing people who use other roms what great battery life this rom gets to try and pull them into Darky's awesomeness! And its for those who say the issue with battery life is the rom when most of the time its the user :P
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
What? First, you're showing us time since boot, which is how long it has been since you restarted your phone; not since you last charged it. So no, you're not even showing us battery life.

You are, though, claiming to show your battery life and are misleading some of the newer users here. That's trolling, especially if you've been around these forums for as long as you're quite anxious to point out.

At the same time, if it is an honest mistake, no worries. Just please post actual battery usage stats in the future.
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
So did you leave the old Swype in place and have to use the regenerate license feature? I uninstalled before. I'm not sure that was a good idea, because I got a couple failures to install. A reboot seemed to fix it.

Sent from wherever I was at when I sent it.
[Captivate Android Development] seanzscreams:
i left and went to cm7 and registered for my own swype now this is a rom
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Those words do not a coherent sentence make.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
How are you guys unistalling swype to reinstall the new one? I tried to just install the new one, and it said I must uninstall the old one, I went to managed apps, and it doesn't have the option to uninstall, just clear data.

ATK didn't have it listed so I'm not sure what to do.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Try removing it with Titanium Backup. Should work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Understandable that you would think that but the way I charge is to charge while off until 100% then unplug and turn on the phone. So the time from boot is actually the amount of time the phone has been on unplugged :/. Not everyone charges while the phone is on.

Next time I'll post with Juiceplotter. But I agree my way could be a little bit misleading if one did not have all the facts

But we all love Darky so no harm no foul!
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Got it removed with Titanium backup and new version installed. You have to reboot after uninstall or you'll get a failed install when try to install it.
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
Your battery life is amazing!! I get 10-12 hours :(

Please share some of you battery tips! :)

How much where you getting before? Did you ever get as low as me (10-12hrs)?

I actually consider I get pretty good battery life, I wouldn't call my actual situation battery drainage. I got batt drain before and that's when you see the batt meter going down every minute!

I corrected my batt drain with a full charge, plugged, unplugged, flashed to stock then darky, after that I get better batt life, and now I use SuperPower and I get even better life. I used to get 12-15 hours, for some reason now I'm getting 10-12, but still pretty ok IMO.

But never ever have I gotten near 50 hours!! How do you do that?? Maybe not using the phone not even once I could get 50, i dunno, but if I use it it's impossible, the screen really sucks up the battery.

I tried SuckerPunch UV no-OC but it really didn't improve my batt I think and kinda made the phone laggy... (I use no lagfix but with darky 9.3 and speedmod it's really fast anyways).
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Wow 10-12 is kind of low. I don't get 50, but my phone lasts between 24 -30 hours. That is with UV on suckerpunch. I get much better battery life compared to speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
You are totally wrong:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990585

;)
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Ditto @xreflection! My battery with normal daily use when I'm walking around campus listening to music, calls, texts, gtalk, browsing xda, using map my run with gps, and playing zuma is about 30hrs. Thats with speedmod.

The reason my phones' battery life was in the 50s was that during spring break from classes I barely used my phone except to play music when driving/running and tracking my run so other than that this rom idles really well and I see a drop of <1% an hr in battery life.

For calibrating I just recommend full charge cycles with full discharge. I always charge my phone while its off bc I'm paranoid about it charging while on due to it cutting power as soon as it is full charged! I do that 2-3 times and the phone will catch up. Oh and I don't run any of those battery saving softwares bc imo they just eat battery as running services. Of course you could be using heavier data polling apps which may be why your battery is flying. What apps do you get notifications for?
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
Exactly, that's what I did and it works like a charm. The only difference is that I uninstalled it with SGS tools ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
If I already have 9.3 installed can I just flash this over for the improvements without a wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
No you're going to want to flash the addons in this line of the OP:

USE WITH CAPTIVATE ADD-ON CWM FIX (03/11/11)// LINK UPDATED

Without battery change http://www.multiupload.com/2K9JPEXDUR

or

With Vertical Battery http://www.multiupload.com/7KN7PG3FWF

(This contains changes to the original ROM as provided above. To Remove FMRadio, plz use SGS TOOLS!!!)

When using add-on plz make sure that there are no themes installed that change the framework.
[Captivate Android Development] jecsah:
Thanks for another great rom. This has got to be the most efficient one I've used. I'm about to turn 48 hours and still have 28% left (voodoo kernal). And it doesn't sacrifice any speed either! Keep up the great work!

Swype CWM in OP

Sorry for the delay. Had run into licensing issues with Swype.

But got Swype fixed and Added to OP. Please flash from recovery over the existing Fixes and Base Package.

Would update all other packages with this Swype when I get my WiFi back :)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Has anyone tried the kb1 Modem with 9.3 Captivate Darky's? If so what are your thoughts?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
Known Problem?

I expect this is a problem with early versions of the phone. It doesn't occur to them all even if they're within the potentially bad imei range. My phone is in the bad range, but I have had zero problems with it, as most do. If your phone is in the bad range, you can probably get AT&T to replace it under warranty.

See this link:

[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
Glad to hear that Swype is fixed, thanks for the effort.

I believe a lot of people would also appreciate an alternative JPY version, which supports more languages than this one.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I don't think it will work as Darky 9.3 is a i9000 based rom and that is a modem for Captivate based roms.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks that is what I was wondering about but since some things have been modified by rickya2000 on Darky's ROM for Captivate phone I didn't know if it might work.
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
There is only one "Captivate" ROM that will work with this I9000 based ROM, ZNKP1 which is actually for the I9088, which I understand is closer to a Captivate than an I9000. I confess that I don't really know whether that phone has an Audience chip in it or support for that chip in the modem firmware. So perhaps I'm repeating a misconception; I hope not.

I can tell you that it will work with the Speedmod kernel for the Captivate.

Sent from wherever I was at when I sent it.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Swype fix works like a charm. But something I've noticed (I think it was from flashing one of the captivate fixes) when my phone is low on battery (i.e. 15% and 5%, the warning dialog box is messed up. The percentage shows up as %d%% and the view battery use shows up as "This factory-use..something or other". Just a minor gripe lol. I am running Steel Blue theme.
[Captivate Android Development] :
how did you get the steel blue theme working on your phone?

it never flashes for me and keeps popping up an error
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I flashed the original 9.3 ,without ricky's fixes. I then flashed steel blue on top of that with no issues. What I had issues with was when I flashed the cappy fix. The framework file or something is different for the two so I got boot loops, luckily I backed up my Rom. ricky made a custom flashable for those with steel blue.

What you might want to try is go back to the original 9.3, flash the theme, then ask ricky for the custom flashable. I could also send it to you as well if you would like.

Newbie liking this ROM

This ROM is awesome!

I'm an old hand in the Windows Mobile 6.5 world, but finally made the leap to Android b/c this ROM supports in call recording perfectly (the killer feature that kept me on Windows Mobile).

Couple of requests:

* is there some way to enable the ability to keep the screen on while plugged in to USB/AC? I found many references in searching to a setting in Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake but it is not available on this ROM. Widgets in the Market that I've tried (Widgetsoid2.x, Stay Awake Widget) do not seem to recoginize USB/AC and keep the screen enabled on battery too.

* please include the call recording control application at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967297 in the ROM as it makes controlling call recording much easier

Now, for some newbie questions:

* to update to the 3/15 version of Darkyy's 9.3 Extreme CAPTIVATE Edition, do I follow all of the steps in the instructions in post #1 or only the steps to re-apply the ZIP?

* Suggestions for how to backup applications and settings between Darky updates? My plan is to use Titanium backup, copy the backup file to my computer, flash, then copy back and restore. Thoughts?

* I have multiple Android devices now (Captivate, rooted Nook Color); however, free applications are not showing up in the "My Apps" list of both devices (free apps only show up in the "My Apps" list of the device where they were originally installed). Thoughts?

Thanks and this ROM is awesome!

Swype JPY in Add-Ons/ Patches

I've added SWYPE JPY version at the bottom of the first Post OP. Includes Turkish! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
What does JPY mean? :confused:

Sorry :o
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
If you already have 9.3 installed you should just be able to flash the captivate fix . Make sure you are not on a custom theme.

Titanium backup is the best imo. You technicalyl don't have to copy the files over. When you flash, the flashing process doesn't touch anything on the sdcard, although it is good practice to make a separate backup, its not necessary. Use SMS Backup for text messages and sync contacts to your google account.

My Apps is only for installed apps. It won't list ones that you've downloaded/bought before but don't have installed.
[Captivate Android Development] morgej:
Thanks for the response!

Questions:

* can you be more specific about "SMS Backup" as there are quite a few apps in the marketplace with that exact name?

* interesting that "My Apps" is only for installed apps b/c it is showing the one paid app in the "My Apps" on both devices even thought I bought it from only one device.

Thanks again for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
I can do those requests and put them up soon :) Hope ur other questions were answered!

JPY is a firmware version. The Swype in JPY contains certain languages like Turkish which are not in the current version. But the license is for the GT-I9000 model to include Turkish and certain other languages.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Anyone know why Pandora runs like crap on this rom? I see other roms stating pandora will work with them.

Both my wife and my phone (both on Darky 9.3 with Suckerpunch 56 and jl2 modem) get maybe one full song and then it goes to the loading screen and the process repeats over and over again. On both wifi and 3G. I can't believe it would be Pandora or no one would be using them. I was playing with my Dad's stock 2.2 captivate and it was not having a problem what so ever.

Anyone else having this problem? What can we do to research this issue? This issue is tempting me to go over to Cognition 4.1.1.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Works fine for me. Using speedmod kernel and kp1 modem. Also I have the Darky 9.3 Original without the OP addons

Have you tried flashing a different kernel considering thats the common part in both devices?
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
It's the SMS Backup+ one. It has a gmail icon with a speech bubble emoticon.

Is the app installed on both devices?
[Captivate Android Development] akuru:
Much appreciated :)

By the way, would changing the model number to GT-i9000 effect the future updates of this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
So the Captivate kp1 modem does work on a i9000 based ROM? I had posted some questions about this on other Forums and hadn't seen a response. How do you like it?
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
Lol yeah its always worked! I get the best clarity, battery, and gps of any modem I've tried. Also the data speeds are as fast as if not better than JK4! :D
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the reply. I am using JL3 and not having any problems but had read some reviews about the new kb1 and wanted to try. Off to flash it now.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Well the Wifi is Super,the GPS was fastest lock ever and within 5 meters but cell service with AT@T I could only get 1 bar.....:mad:. Guess I head back to JL3.
[Captivate Android Development] randyyy:
Why don't you try KP1?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I did, I just posted how I couldn't get good Cell Service with it. Went back to JL3 and have all Bars on cell service again.

I think you did kb1, not kp1

Oh and @RonH54 how did the real KP1 modem end up working for you?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
From JL3 to KP1: Speed tests jumped from 4058/500 to 4800/510(AT@T uploads capped at 512..:mad:). GPS locked a little faster and Cell Bars same. I haven't had any calls yet to test Voice Quality.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I wish I had done a Speedtest when I had flashed the KB1 by mistake. The GPS was amazingly FAST with KB1 and this did "peak my interest" about possibly trying one of the new Gingerbread Based ROMs for Captivate. I know Joel will eventually get a New Darky's out though.
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
Thanks, I searched that thread and somebody already asked.

Darky says: "Of course [9.4 JS7 is coming] Just no ETA."

I think my USB Mount broke! I've been having hardware problems with my cappy (dropped it too many times I guess, man this gorilla glass is resistant!), the speaker has been failing (works somedays, doesn't work others) for at least a month and now I can't mount USB! Connecting the cappy to PC is the same as to a charger only... I get no USB icon in the top bar :(

Tried mounting USB from CMW, no go.

I hope the 850Mhz Nexus S or Galaxy II comes soon!!

Guess I'm stuck with Darky for EVER now lolllll, no way to flash to stock, doh!
