Shame... :(

I hope development on CM7 comes along on Galaxy S... I remember using CM4-5 back on a G1 and it was by far my favorite for that device.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I saw Ryude post in the Captivate general forum, so in the neighborhood.

You can take the dev/user out of the Captivate, but you can't talk the Captivate out of the dev/user!

I can make a stock theme, but it will take a lot of time since my theme is in almost every single app.
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
ive never changed my theme i just use what came with the rom, but if i do decide to change, arent they like modems in that i must use one for that firmware? which should i be looking at?

sorry for newb question, just have never changed my theme
[Captivate Android Development] killer_siller:
I would also much rather have a stock theme. I'm sorry, I have a captivate for the beautiful screen, and I want to show it off!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Themes are very tricky, not all roms of the same firmware are compatible with themes for that firmware. Check the theme thread and make sure it is compatible with xwjs3. Most themes will work with this rom, but I cannot guarantee it.
[Captivate Android Development] TommyZee:
I would also rather have a stock theme look :D Sorry Dude :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I made this rom for myself, what everyone else wants is a second priority. I will try to make a stock theme version, but it will probably be tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] greystealth:
where gtalk?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It is not in this rom, sorry.

I tried the paragon rom and i was dissatisfied. I had a lot freeze ups and the dreaded wifi problem. I just flashed this v2.0 and loving it! The dialer is sweet.

Ryude, keep doing things like you are. if people are gonna continue to make request that requires a lot of your time to do then you need to take donations.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
I have been through just about every ROM currently being updated trying to find one that works just right and I think I found it, and that was with 1.01. Now that v2 is up, do I need to go through a full wipe, flash stock, then flash v2 or will I be good just flashing this version over the previous? I'm usually going the safe way but I may try and flash this before heading to church in the morning :)
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
at the bottom of OP it says it wipes so i dont think you have much choice...
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
And keep it that way Ryude. You made this to be a stripped rom , keep it the way you made it bro. There are plenty of JS3 roms and plenty of JS3 Themes out there that these people can go load.

And I say that cause you have made an awesome rom and a very speedy little sucker :)

All you people who keep asking for this app , this theme, etc. Thats the whole point of this rom he made. He made it to only have the things needed to work. Now you go install what ever the hell ya want lol
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
^^^ x2 this man said it right
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
*sigh*.... i was tryin to hold off on flashing since I dont feel like loading less than 5 apps and setting up google (im lazy)... but u just got to have me flashin and stuff... keep hearin nothin but rave reviews... alright here goes... ill report back... wait a sec... somethin just popped in my head... i been runnin darky rom and have flashed captivate-fix.zip... will i have to flash captivate-defix.zip? or does it matter? guess i could use odin, i just like to try and save steps...
[Captivate Android Development] dicksteele:
As everyone else says, this is perfect. something I was going to attempt. A nice small base rom to tweak to my wants and needs.

Run 1.01 and just flashed 2.0. Has anyone tried Titanium restores. Mine just flies thru, says its complete, installing nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] gtown:
does anyone know if its possible install a 2.1 browser in the rom and get it to work instead of using a 2.2 version browser.apk?? can anyone help me with this? i would really like to use the 2.1 version.

thank you
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I don't know what's more weird: You wanting to use the default browser or you wanting to use an older version of the default browser. I used Skyfire for a bit, but now I'm settled nicely on Dolphin Browser HD. Highly recommend trying either over the default.

Though to answer your question, I don't know (doubt it). Try extracting a 2.1 version from some 2.1 ROM somewhere and pasting it into your system/app folder using Root Explorer or some other root-enabled file explorer, restarting possibly, and giving it a go...
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Serendipity 6.0 and Cognition 4.2 soon to be released is looking tempting, among others... Anyone here rocking Precision still thinking of moving to a new ROM? Anyone already move to another yet? If so, which ones and how are they if you've already flashed?

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
ryude... just have a couple people test your updated Precision and Torch roms for you then release. I'm sure there are many willing members.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
What??? Updated Precision and Torch? Where? I want in.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
/cough

This rom looks to be going the way of the glitterballs kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Well... he doesn't have his captivate anymore....and he mentioned in the battery showdown thread that he had a new version of each rom but didn't have a phone to test it on. Plenty of us here would load it up and test it I'm sure.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I'm on it now and can say that it is not ready to my standards, or rather the standards Precision has imposed on me. GPS toggling with Tasker does not work, disabling showing notification icons in FolderOrganizer doesn't either. I can imagine these lacks of functionality expand to other apps as well, and I won't be sticking around to see what else doesn't work.

Battery life is also dropping much faster than Precision ever did.

Plus side is that the boot animation is super sexy and trippy! It's performance may also be a bit smoother, but Precision was already pretty damn smooth.

Now can't decide which to try next: Cognition, Continuum, or Serendipity...

[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Adam will iron things out as usual. We were all just spoiled with Precision 3.5.

Now where's that damn update, Ryude? I got a jig just in case. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I personally like Continuum, Twingerbread and di11i's quite a bit. Trying out Serendipity now and I can say that it is very fast, very smooth, running very well.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You slut! lol.... I was thinking about trying that one since I'm a bit bored today.

How it is....
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Well at least in the context of ROM flashing, being a "slut" isn't such a bad thing. :P

You make it even more difficult to choose between Continuum (and now others) and Serendipity... a personal preference for one I'm eyeing and all those very's for the other, respectively. :)

Sure it's a close race, but if forced to pick, which is your favorite out of all that you listed? And do you see yourself reverting from Serendipity anytime soon? If so, why?

Sent from my Samsung Captivate w/ Phoenix 7.0
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Hey guys! I've been busy with work, but I know you are eager to flash new stuff.

If there is interest, I can look into upgrading Precision to 4.0. I'm thinking instead of making a whole new wipe ROM, I can just do an update CWM. That way it "should" prevent any unintentional flashing issues, soft bricks/bootloops, etc.

Just hope you realize that I am super busy with work so please be mindful and try not to rush me :)
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
+1000000 interest! :D And I'm very patient and understanding that the development for most custom ROMs is more of a hobby. Paying jobs should always come first.

Glad to see you back on the thread!

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No one is rushing you that I'm aware of... but you did say in the battery showdown thread you had updates for both ready....just no way of testing it... so I'm not sure why were rushing you.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Precision was dropping fast for for me the first week of use but after I fully drained my battery a few times and then fully charged, this ROM became a battery saving beast. More than any other ROM I've used. Plus I never had to worry about charging my phone mid day in fear of a dead battery by evening with most other ROMs I've used. Adam's ROMs typically last me about 10-12 hours on a single charge but with precision right now I get 20+ hours a single charge.

Sent from outer space to find another place
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I might sound like I'm rushing, but it's more to keep Precision in the first page. :p
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I don't feel rushed, but unlike other devs who release ROM updates every other day or every week, I tend to release a new update every month. I think Precision should be used for long periods of time, it's not something you flash just to "check out". You either love it or hate it, and you must realize that the updates come slowly.

So in short: I'm not saying you are rushing me, but I am just letting you know how long updates can take.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
It's actually running pretty amazing, real smooth with sp-voodoo #7 and fugu tweaks. Redrom theme is really sweet and comes with an off the hook themed swype. I actually like it quite a bit
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
LOL... I don't blame you.

I understand... I just wanted to make sure nobody was assuming anything...

I looked at it.... the original or redrom theme just don't do it for me.....
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I like all the ones I listed including serendipity. I like having an official daily driver and I think ill be using serendipity for that. Will def be flashing the new updates to the others when available though
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
If i could get zeubug ported into it... i'd flash it
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Good idea :P. People who have not given this ROM a chance don't know how awesome the battery life is. Hopefully we can get some new minimalist's on board to help ryude test new development.

Ugh, down to 30% on Phoenix 7.0 already today and a friend's phone is still 60%, even after lots of gaming and a few voice calls. I played zero games and made zero calls. :/ I can't wait till I'm at home to get off Phoenix.

[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Nice, that was what I was looking for. :) Since I'm already off Precision for the time being, I'll try that tonight till there's a new update from ryude.

And yes ryude, no pressure. I'd rather have quality releases once a month than sub-par updates once/twice a week.

Any precision users (present or former) try out firefly 2.5 ? Thoughts ?

Ever since my phone got stuck into reboot cycle on supernova 2.3 one random day, I decided to try precision 3.5 and I haven't regretted it since. Been a month on this ROM and it's awesome.

[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Yeah, it just works. Im trying out Dragon RC4 right now. It has a bunch of pretty cool bells n whistles (clock toggles etc..), but there are a couple of things that need to be fix, namely the font that sometimes uses chinese characters when it doesn't recognize certain symbols. The incoming calls not showing contact info and other small issues that never popped up on precision.

[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Hey Ryude, I loved your 3.5 so much that I made my own tweeks from what I have found here and there, I took your base and added sukerpunch voodoo 7, fugu tweks, jit are automaticly enabled and I put back the time in the notification bars.... I really didn't do much, but your ROM is just great and stable to play around with.

Just did a small donation.... Was not much, but I was very happy to do it...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Cool, you could save me some time by sending that services.jar for the clock change. I have been working on precision, found a lot of things wrong in the framework so fixing that now.

Edit: Thanks for the donation, maybe if I get enough I can buy a cappy off craigslist to develop with lol.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Glad to hear it! If you end up adding the clock back in, would it be possible to at least keep the AM/PM out?

And here's my vote for a transparent notification pull down menu :P

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I am just sad to say that the mods are not coming from work I ave done, but from yours actually, I used your Clocl_CWM.zip. But I'm dying to know what is the tool you use to edit those .jar files, maybe I could do some reading and end up helping out more.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I thought you got rid of the HTC and atrix ryuude

and you were back on cappy
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Oh I see, well all you need to edit the jar files is a zip tool like 7-zip and baksmali/smali. You also need java installed and added to your PATH environment variable.

For example, take the services.jar and extract classes.dex to a folder that also has the baksmali.jar and smali.jar files. Then in command prompt you would navigate to that folder and type java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex. It will create a folder called out/ with all the smali files. You can edit them, then you would re-build it with java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o classes.dex. Then take the new classes.dex and drop it inside the services.jar.

That's it.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Ummm...yeah. :eek:

LOL!
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I'll have a look because I'm curious. But I think you're better at it then me.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It won't compile if you messed it up, so as long as it compiles the classes.dex without any errors you're good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] crazy25000:
Just told my friend to flash this on his Captivate, is there any chance it could be ported to the Vibrant? I've been waiting for a rom this small :D
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I don't have any experience with the vibrant, but I would think you just need to put the proper kernel/modem and it would work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i got my atrix yesterday and i have 2 captivates...of course i need to keep one around for messing around with but i will probably part with the other one...

Any word on that semi-transparent pull-down menu? It's pretty much the only thing I can complain about. Except maybe the video calling, but I kinda like being able to pretend that i have a front-facing camera :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Too much moonshine!

Ryude, just checking if your update will reset the Contacts menu when jumping in and out of it. Drives me nuts to see my last search result and having to hit backspace. :(
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Here's what you do:

1. Find a ROM that has no video calling and resets when jumping in and out.

2. Then, take it and push it to my ROM system/app folder.

3. If it works...

4. Profit!
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Hey ryude. I've been running 3.5 for just over a month and I can't get away from this ROM after using many other ROMs. One question though: Are you going to update to JS7 or leave it at JS5 for your next update?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
*double face palm*

Just take the Contact.apk only? Or do I also have to take along the ContactsProvider.apk as well?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Well the thing you need to know about updating the "base" is this...

The main benefits from going to JS7 from JS5 comes from the kernel improvements made by samsung, but since we use a custom kernel anyway based on JPY or JS3 we won't get those benefits.

I will include the new apks and lib files, maybe a few other things too. That's really all I can do as far as "updating to JS7".
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
The contactsprovider.apk is not needed, think of contactsprovider.apk as the "service" that always runs and the contacts.apk is the app you actually open to do things. You can mix and match, up to a point.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Just curious Ryude, what are phone are you using right now? Are yo ustill working on Precision or Torch is also in process? From the little mods I did to Precision I could reach up to 23:00 hours of heavy use (wifi on six hours, my little daughter watching two Disney movies on it at full brightness, plus a couple of phone calls, and some music listening).
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I'm using a Samsung Solstice right now, I got a upgrade waiting for SGS II.

I'm still working on Precision, haven't really worked on Torch much. The kernel on KB1 needs a lot of work.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Got it. Much thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I really can't wait for the sgs2, too bad I heard its gonna be $800-900 without an upgrade >.>

Is the next precision going to be 4.0? Can you post up a general list of what you're planning for the next update?

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Gonna try to fix some bugs, update the kernel, reduce RAM usage, fix the framework, update the theme, and that's all I can think of so far.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Dope. Looking forward to it. You never said anything about the pulldown menu being translucent or not, do you plan on including it or will I end up having to figure out how to do it myself?

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It's easy to do, but I know many people said before that they didn't want it to be transparent.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I think it sucks.... makes things difficult to read when you use photos as backgrounds...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I could do 20% transparency, any more than that and text becomes hard to read.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Whatever you feels works and looks good.... a touch of transparency is good.....
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I wouldn't want it super transparent. But like 15-20% would be pretty cool.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Another vote...

+1 Agreed. Though, does doing transparency require extra performance? Not that I'm worried about it, more of a curiosity...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
No, it's the same as without.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Ah okay, I figured. For something that can be dragged at anytime across all non-fullscreen apps, makes sense that for performance it wouldn't matter whether it was transparent or not for something so user-controlled and available. Would be difficult to optimize further by culling out anything rendering in the background, except for maybe when it's fully open.

On a random note, finally back on Precision 3.5 again from a small derivation to Phoenix 7.0. :) Since I've updated it to SuckerPunch #56 (Fugu tweaks compatible), Fugu tweaks, enabled jit, NO OC/UV just yet... Linpack scores as high as 14.216 (sometimes a 12 or 13). I can again actually heavily use my phone and still have the battery last all day. In this case "heavily" means I was at Starbucks reinstalling app after app (well over 100), screen brightness a bit up during 2hr of walks in between cause it was sunnier, and some wifi usage to update and get more apps :D.

I have it back to where it was before I left and even better this time! :) I finally got rid of that horrid, blinding white at&t boot screen (nearly thought I bricked my phone for good in the process, but thankful to this thread for saving my indie-customizing ass: How to unbrick the totally bricked Captivate). I think it's cause I originally used Max (12) quality and Progressive (Scans: 5) format for my logo_ATNT.jpg when I saved out of PS. Just opened it up in Paint and re-saved and it worked fine. Check it out!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Wow, that's a cool boot screen. But yeah, one of the reasons android has such bad battery life is because it functions the same as a desktop OS. Just because you have an app in the foreground doesn't mean it isn't still running things behind it. I believe iOS does the opposite, it keep a cache of all background apps and only allows certain functions to continue running. In a way I wish android would do the same.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
You don't have TiBu?:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Srsly, it takes me about 10-15 minutes to restore ~135 apps.

it does all the work for you. You just hit run for the restore batch command and leave it alone while everything gets restored. Settings and all.
