Jk3 has been consistent. I may go back to jl2 because it has less drain when the phone is connected to data.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
A fix exists as other custom ROMs have this feature. We just have to trust ryude to implement this if that is a priority or not.

For me, not so much. For others, yes.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, but do you have the black themed swype from 2.0? I don't know why I love that black theme so much, but I'm hooked on it.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
hey ryude another recommendation. I love the themed MMS matching the theme, but can you find a way to distinguish the to/from windows (maybe different shades or outline)?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I themed one of the ones from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942392&highlight=swype

I am probably going to flash back to the stock theme for swype though, as the ones in that thread are kinda... idk just not very clean. The letters are clunky and bleh.

+1!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Here's a screenshot of the Swype that was on Precision 2.0. Very simple, yet elegant.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Is that from the Precision 2.5 theme? If so, I think I already have it downloaded and I can try to apply the theme from that to my current one. I'll update on progress
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I think it was on the 2.5 theme, but when I flashed 2.5 it didn't take, so I simply took the files from 2.0 and loaded it.

However, please look at my previous post how I got it loaded on 3.0.

It has something to do with permissions or certificates or whatever, but my solution was repeatable for me.

Hopefully, Ryude will include this in the next version update of this ROM. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Go to recovery, then speedmod, very first option "install root", then "simple". Once that is done hit reboot and it should fix.

I have this problem as well ever since using speedmod instead of suckerpunch.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
After flashing the maps cwm, does bt voice dialing work? Also might try installing google search.

A lot of apps have "dependencies" which only work if you have other files installed.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Flashed the CWM for Maps and installed Google Search. Rebooted.

Voice Dialing box pops up, but then getting Error message.

Still no workey. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
So is that different than normal or did it always pop up with error message?
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Maybe try putting Google Search in /system/app?

You can install it regularly and it will work, but the haptic search button only works if you manually put it under /system/app.

Maybe this would also help?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Good idea! We should keep a record of what apps require what to function.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
If anyone is interested, I am looking for testers for my 2.1 (Eclair) ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I'm intrigued.

I'm assuming your using 2.1 for the official captivate base.

I'm not sure I could give up voice actions. I use them a lot. I suppose it would depend on what I would get over using Precision. Better battery life and signal?

If that's all I'm getting I don't think it would be worth it. I already get plenty of time on Precisions battery and a good signal.

Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Mostly, 2.1 is for people like me who don't use the extra features of 2.2.1. In return you get more battey life, signal is about the same.

If you don't use flash, lagfix, and don't care about certain features of precision then it is a good choice.

I need a tester to find out if bt voice dialing works on it, but it does support voice actions.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I wasnt going to update to 3.0 because with suckerpunch and JL3 2.0 was solid and battery life was great.

Well, I upgraded to 3.0 anyway cause I couldnt stand for you guys to be ahead of me. I am impressed....again. Running totally stock config with kernel and modem I am at 46% battery left and I have used 2 hrs and 55 minutes of calls, 1 hour and 15 minutes of screen time. All calls were on bluetooth btw. Awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I'd be willing to test and compare. I don't use bluetooth, so can't help much there. But like I said I am very intrigued to see what I would be missing. Voice actions I thought were 2.2 specific.

If I can have that on 2.1 I'm not sure I would miss anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I totally screwed my swype while doing something I shouldn't have... lol re-flashing as I type. I have a pretty good idea of how to install the swype theme with CWM and I want to try it out. Will keep progress updated.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Voice actions work, however it is a 3rd party app and is not as good as the google one. It's called vlingo, and i like it a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I can hear my calls via bluetooth but my music goes through the phones speaker. Never done this before so I dont know the procedure or if thats just the way it is in this ROM. Please advise.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I have no way of testing bluetooth, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
I'm going to flash 3.0 tonight.

So to get the black swype, I should flash the rom, then the 3.1 theme, then follow your post on installing swype ?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yep. In that order. At least this is what I did, and if someone can find another process that is shorter, I am all ears.

Also, once you get the black swype loaded and you do some more flashing of themes, apps, etc. and swype starts to misbehave, go into CWM and clear dalvik-cache.

I just moved the google search apk from data/app to system app and swype was acting up and clearing dalvik-cache brought full functionality back. At least that worked for me this time.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Moved google search to /system/app. BT Voice Dialing still not working.

Note that this function is not a high priority for me, but I am more than willing to help in discovering how to get this feature working.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I mean if you really want it to work, just download vlingo. In my experience it's way better than the google voice tools.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
No problem. Freaking worked this time!!!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Ah, ok. I'll look into Vlingo later.

On the plus side, I have google search back on the haptic button. :-)

Unfortunately, when swype was acting up due to clearing dalvik, the black market theme went away. :-(
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I just downloaded Vlingo and was checking it out. I don't think I could make the switch. Lol.

I love the Google voice actions included with 2.2+. Being able to just hold down the search button and say "Call Tori" or "Text Tori I'm on my way home." when I'm driving is the single most useful thing Google has added to Android.

They work amazingly well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Then you should stick with 2.2, but for me I never use those features so I prefer 2.1 myself :)
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
You are lucky. I could never get Google's voice actions to work well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Google got a lot of the data for the voice recognition stuff from their now defunct Google 411 service which I used a lot.

So its pretty much modeled after how I speak. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Btw.. Just flashed this blacked out gingerbread keyboard with white letters...

Soo sexy on Precision.

Linked and attached for convenience.

Flash zip with CWM.

[Captivate Android Development] papashex:
That's not entirely accurate Mr. President.........

If I build a JS5 rom (with JK4 modem, Speedmod K13A) from Docs kitchen (including voice dial) both the voice dial app and bt voice dial work fine. So it seems something is added or deleted to break the function. I'm not programmer enough to know where / what / why.

Are you saying it is a known trade-off for in order to include a more desireable feature?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
So I did manage to get Swype themed, see for yourself. I didn't end up using CWM as there were some irregularities in the file structures of the files I was able to find. I did however eventually theme it in a somewhat simple way if you have Root Explorer.

I got the images I needed for the theme from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758813

To install Swype, I signed up for the beta and followed the instructions sent to install. Once Swype was installed, it was actually in the data/app folder and named something like com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk. I took this apk and made a copy to /sdcard so that I could copy it over to my PC. I copied it over then opened the apk with WinRAR and browsed to the /assets/keyboards folder. I opened up the zipped theme images I downloaded earlier and simply replaced what was in the Swype.apk's /assets/keyboards and replaced it with what was in the theme's /assets/keyboards folder. The filenames match up perfectly in terms of the image files. After doing this, I saved the Swype.apk, copied it over to /sdcard, then moved it into /system/app, and fixed permissions with Root Explorer... VIOLA!!! Themed Naked Skype!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
Flashing Firebird 2 back on again tonight, been doing well with Speedmod but I'm curious to see what difference I get with Firebird.

JuiceDefender says I'm at x1.35 improvement, not sure how accurate it is but I haven't had any problem getting through the day (including tonight after talking to my dad for over 1hr15min). Only thing that annoys me is getting my Gmail in, I have it set for 15min intervals for data, but my Gmail never updates during that time.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Put Gmail in your system/app folder and it might work. Also rename it to Gmail.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I've got a surprise for you guys!

Precision v3.5 is coming... can you handle this much battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
i need it :( so i flashed firebird, rebooted it after flashing and all i get is the FC vibrate while in the boot animation then restarts the bootanimation... so I went in and tried flashing speedmod again but nothing. SO it appears I'm starting from scratch now (and without a recent TiBu backup... yay)

awaiting it anxiously
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
btw, what changes can we expect to see?
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Tonight!? I cant wait!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Bring it on! I need it, too. Just gor off a long conf call and talk time sucks a lot of power.

Will you include the black swype from 2.0?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Very nice!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me get swype working again. It just lets you tap but you cannot "swype" hence defeating the purpose lol.

You guys know how to get it working, so keep that info handy :)

Edit: BUT, I think I finally fixed bt voice dialing :)
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
And my phone just hit 100%. Amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I'm still testing it to make sure this new change doesn't cause any problems.

Might be up tonight, but we will see.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
here's to hoping it is... i can't stand stock

crap, just distracted you from testing. nothing to see here
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Lol. Ok.

Just wondering what you did differently from 2.0 to 3.0. I'm sure you've been trying to figure it out.

If it helps any. I could drop in any 2.15 swype version theme from another ROM and it works no prob. Maybe has something to do with this particular swype being 2.17...?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Here's the thing, it now comes with KP1 which means you're gonna have to toggle flight mode like every time you reboot.

It has the new suckerpunch + voltage control, for awesome underclock and undervolt.

I disabled JIT compiler, you might think this hurts performance but only in benchmarks. It does increase battery life though :)

Included the gps fix so you no longer have to flash it.

Some other tweaks, but mostly this version is dedicated to battery life NOT PERFORMANCE!
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
So are we talking stock performance or just not blazing fast?

Are you recommending the 800Mhz with -75 to -100UV again?

Since I'm dying to go to bed I'm going to test drive Andromeda tonight/tomorrow and see how it goes. I'm sure I'll be back again soon tho (checking off all the available ROMs but gotta say I've had no bad feelings on Precision). I'll just have to flash Firebird and within an hour you'll have a new update (that is two times in a row now you know...)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
You'll notice no difference in performance at all and I find 800MHZ with undervolting to give me a smooth experience.

No lagfix at 800MHz linpack is 6.4 and quadrant is 926.

Ext2 Lagfix at 800MHz linpack is 6.6 and quadrant is 1513.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I always keep up to date with my Cappys first love (Firefly) but nothing runs like Precision.

I usually flash any updates to either ROM, but I only play with Firefly for an hour. I use Precision all day.

And that's why I'm stoked for anything ryude is releasing.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
You guys need to make sure you calibrate your battery properly, it can make a huge difference in battery life. What I always do after a fresh ROM flash is drain it to about 95%, then charge it to full. Then turn the phone off and charge it to full again. Once more turn it on and charge to full. Now your battery is calibrated.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
+1

I do the same thing.

Try a day without it. You'll notice a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, the Phoenix/FF/SN group are cool. Also coming from there and I like to keep up to date, as with the other stuff out there.

I flash those on other phones.

Precision's got me hooked on my personal one though.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yep. Been doing this for a while and it works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:

Edit the /system/build.prop.

Change this

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast

to this

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

You can use adb to pull it and then push it back, after you push it just reboot and that's it. I personally use Root Explorer.

If you guys want I can make a CWM zip to automate this process.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
Here's the thread on the Captivate specific one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936727

well crap i'm impatient, thought this wasn't coming out til tomorrow... oh well, already restoring my apps... and realizing I don't like the dark theme I picked for Andromeda. Think ryude's theme will work on it? :)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Here's the CWM zip to re-enable JIT.

Here's also a CWM zip to disable it if you ever want to.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
As long as it's JS3/JS5 it will work.
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Thanks, what does jit do anyway?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Changes the dalvik VM engine to compile java code in it's native code. However, in some rare cases it can cause battery drain.

In my testing, disabling it gives more battery life. You can try either way and use the one that works best for you.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Lol. I just did the same thing except with FireFly. Xtreme themed the gingerbread launcher in this one and I'm totally stealing it. It matches the Precision theme perfectly. Downloading Precision 3.5 now.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Ummm, what do these do? :)

I'm learning!

Edit: NM. Saw the post above just now!
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
On a side note: I still have the AT&T unlimited data plan. I was grandfathered in from my old iPhone and so I download all my ROMs straight to the Captivate just to show AT&T that 2gb is not enough.

It's not quite as fast as wifi, but its worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] sf1120:
Thanks ryude.I could've sworn I dl'ed from the market b4,guess I remembered wrong.Anyways thanks for the link and nice rom,keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
that's what I've been doing with the past couple updates. but ryude's ROM's are so small it barely dents AT&T :)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:

[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Another update soo soon... Wow!!! Starting the download now :)
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Wow.

3.5 is so minimal there's not any icons in the stock zeam launcher. Lol.

Was that on purpose or did I have a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Sounds like a bad flash, try re-downloading and then flash again.

Sometimes bad flashes happen though.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
btw, Precision Theme v2.6 works on Andromeda 1.2 (Armani based, JL1 i think it said?). I flashed it over DMT Dark Theme and everything seems good to go (chose 2.6 because I like the circles :))
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
All the previous themes and even ROMs are still up I just don't have them linked.

It's the same url just replace 3.1 with 2.6 or whatever.

Not seeing a zeam dock icon but zeam is working...flashed twice...
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
The first thing I remove is Zeam anyway. Didn't reflash. Everything seems to be working well. Will let you know about battery life tomorrow.

For now going to post a couple screens of how beautiful this ROM is after I finish restoring.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Weird, on mine it shows dock icons.

Amazing.

When I saw the launcher in FireFly I knew it had to be saved so I could use it with Precision. I'm pretty sure my phone has never been so beautiful.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I agree, also the theme needs to be fixed cause the white has a lot of jaggies in the clock and toggles. Might even revert it back to the circles.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Im about to flash 3.5, but I do have a question... What do you mean when you say that you have to enter airplane mode every time you reboot with this modem? Will flashing back to the JL2 cause any issues? I ask because I am still fairly new to Androids and I haven't really flashed a modem yet and am not sure what to expect.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Going to hit the sack after I finish calibrating the battery.

Updates tomorrow on battery life can be expected. =D
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I optimized the jpeg and pngs, here it is if you want it.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I was exaggerating, you don't have to do it every time you reboot. It's just that usually on first boot you have to and then you shouldn't have to anytime after that.

Is it possible to get that dock to work with Launcher Pro? I ask because I actually bought it and I love how it can resize widgets, it's messenger widget, and custom icons for apps so I'd like to stick with it if possible... but that dock is awful nice I might have to switch if I have to!
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I'm about to flash and don't plan on reverting. Of course I did do the lag fix with SuckerPunch to begin with so I'm not too worried.

From the first post:

Formats DATA, DBDATA, SYSTEM, and CACHE. You can flash over ROMs that use Universal Lagfix such as: Speedmod, suckerpunch, and paragon kernel. Disable lagfix first for extra safety, although not required.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I bought LauncherPro Plus too.. Dropped it as soon as I discovered the gingerbread launcher.

As you can see from my screen shot - I don't use widgets or shortcuts. I like to keep the home screen clean.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Usually, you won't encounter any problems. It's just an extra step to ensure you don't have to re-flash, wasting your time.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Yeah I read that, I just generally go with the safe option and disable it because I don't feel like I know enough about that stuff to make those types of judgment calls. Let me know how it goes, I'm using suckerpunch as well.
