Well crap just as I was going back to Precision. I gave up modding my phone for lent so I've been out of the loop except for sundays. I'll try and read thru old posts later today but to save time and ask the most common question, is 4.0 ready to be tested yet or still in the works?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Give me an hour and I'll post it, then you could put the link in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
There you have your theme...

http://www.fileserve.com/file/HduZzEV
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Thanks dizx but I actually figured out a way to use the beta swype and theme it back with the Precision black swype. It's very similar to yours but instead of pulling a swype from a ROM that already addresses the expiration I did mine similar to metamorphing Swype beta.

1. I went into /data/app/ folder and renamed com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk to com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (Removing "-1" basically)

2. I went into terminal emulator and typed in the following commands to make a Swype.apk in my /system/app/ folder:

su

cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

3. Now that I have a Swype.apk in my /system/app/ folder I copied it and pasted it into my SD card

4. I then used your steps above to copy and paste /assets/keyboards/ folder from the Precision black swype folder after removing all the /assets/keyboards png's from the Swype.apk I had just copied from Beta swype.

And everything worked great and fine. No issues at all with tracers or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Here are the swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so files from 4.0, already themed. Please test and let me know if it works.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
So far so good, no FC in more or less 50 lines in Memo Pad.... Just wish I could have the QWERTY in French.... Those d**n beta swype only have the AZERTY keyboard. I actually resigned myself to the gingerbread keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Can you give me more details? I don't use Swype, is this one more or less the same or better than the one I included in Precision 2.0?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I don't remember the one in2.0. I do not use skype in english. only in spanish and french. This one is nice because there is a thin white line between the letters, which make it easier to use. I remember using a version of skype posted earlier by one Precision users that had no separations. This one its better, in terms of usability. This has been written using the swype you just posted.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
This works great, but it's unthemed for me?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Unthemed???? It's black. Isn't swype supposed to be blue?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Yeah, but mine is blue! Let me try a reboot.

Ah, there we go! Reboot fixed it. It's themed and working great.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Yes it's themed, but there are a few changes to it. I'm glad it's working it is the one I will include with 4.0.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I'm glad to see hints of what's coming. Still, I'm dying to see the complete finished product.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
It's really more of the same, if you liked precision 3.5 then you'll like 4.0. I don't want to change it, just make it better.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Will wait. Better is just perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I get the keyboard, but no swyping when applying the files to another JS8 ROM, Apex. I can only tap type.

It should have worked on it, right?

I already tried clearing dalvik, which usually works for me.

I'll PM ya on something...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Did you have a swype installed before you used it, or was it a fresh install. I need to know as many details as you can give.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Sorry. I deleted the previous .apk and .so and rebooted, then I proceeded to drop your new files in as well. I still had those problems, so rebooted into recovery to clear the caches, and still couldn't get it to work. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Dizx, are you on Precision? I tried installing swype from other rom and it did not work. Maybe the opposite is true? You probably know more than me.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Hey Ratatouille, for me to know more than anyone when it comes to this stuff is not a very safe assumption (:D), but you might be on to something.

FWIW, I modded the one from Serendipity, which is JS7 based, but it's working fine on Apex, JS8 based. I thought since Precision 4.0 was going to be JS8 based that it would work, but maybe I did something flukey which is most likely true.

I'll try again later today...
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Hey Ryude, did ya get my PM from last night? My account has been acting flakey and I know you've been extremely busy with work these days...
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I was unable to get neither swype working, the one you sent me or the one Ryude posted. Currently on di11i's 7.1.1
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
So weird regarding the cross compatibility issues. But then again, I'm not even going to pretend I understand the coding world.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I tried installing Ryude's swype on Ultimate 8.2 and it works perfectly. I went back to Precision and it still works perfectly. I guess I was wrong saying that it was not possible to take one from another rom and make it work anywhere. I don't know why it didn't work on yours.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Just one of those cases where we should just stick with what works for each.

Interesting how Vivified had issues with both Swypes.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I was able to get it running by using the swype installer to install swype, then deleting the apk in data and dropping in the themed swype.apk into system/app. Working fine after a reboot and dalvik cache wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Cool. No need for the libSwypeCore.so file?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Yeah I copied that over as well
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I didn't get your PM, please re-send.

I'll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts?

I guess we could go on and on, but we get the idea, we are all eager to see Precision 4.0 coming out, meanwhile, I found French Canadian SWYPE keyboard, I just need to learn how to deodex it.... Maybe somebody can help me if I post it????

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
give me a few minutes. im working on deodexing it for you.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Thanks. I wish I'm ok to think it will work on Precision?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
im having some dependency issues here....where did this come from? do you have the original rom it came from?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Yes. I installed it on my i896, and I extracted the files from it with root explorer. It is the rom from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007276

Tell me everything you need and I'll try to extract it tomorrow in front of my PC.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
no worries. extracting what i need now

[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Yes, we last few fellows running Precision 3.5 are eagerly but patiently waiting for Ryude's Precision 4.0 JS8. Sends shivers down my back already. And now, back to my waiting game. *fiddles thumbs*
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
When you say it like that it makes 3.5 sound inferior to the other ROMs out there, >.>

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
I'm saying other ROMs are inferior to 3.5 out there even when they have a JS7 or 8 base. Because even 3.5 with a JS5 base still kicks ass which is why i refuse to jump to other ROMs. Tempted to? Yes. Will I? No. Loyalty stays with Ryude.
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
could not have put this better myself, i tried other ROMs but here i am, back to Precision yet again
[Captivate Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
No matter how many rom I try it keep coming this rom best battery and awesome call volume but kinda laggy on some games
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Hey ryude, I was wondering if I could request the option to tie notification volume to the ringer volume in 4.0? That would be great!
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
The only things that I still really really want are the battery full and USB debugging notifications removed. I literally "grr" or "ugh" at my phone when the full notification goes off.

Though tying the notification volume would be a good option to include as well.

[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I'll post a test ROM soon, please BE CAUTIOUS! If you attempt to flash this, I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone. Only persons who are experienced with recovering from bricks should attempt to flash it.

Precision v4.0 Alpha 1

DOWNLOAD​

In the occurance that the phone does not boot, I would appreciate feedback such as what point did it stop at, did it loop the same animation over and over, or if you hear vibrations.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Downloading it now and going to try it out after a backup... THANK YOU! Hope there's not too much that needs changing. If I do happen to get past boot, I'll probably poke around and test about everything. Anything specific you wish for us to test just so we don't miss it?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I just want to make sure it works, then alpha 2 will add in more changes.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
So this is the JS8 Precision 4.0 ROM...sweetness...how's everything working so far emuking?
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Precision 4.0a1

It worked fine. Fast boot... haven't poked around too much, but it's working. Stock themed... not sure if I want to test the Black Theme until an update of that comes out (at least I assume there's an update to be released to support JS8? Idk how themes work with updates).

Battery Full and USB Debugging notifications are still there though. :P Pretty please can those be removed in the next release Ryude?
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST!

Needless to say, I'm downloading this now.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Hey Ryude, your Swype theme is gettin' popular!
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
You could try the black out theme from Apex ROM. It also uses Ryude's swype.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Downloading now to try it out :). Thanks.

*EDIT* - Scratch that, don't use Apex's black out theme with this 4.0a1 ROM. The USB Debugging notification shows as "Are you sure you want to format the External SD Card" which scared the crap out of me (luckily clicking it only takes you to disable the USB Debugging)... and the clear button shows as a gibberish "%P...something" (obviously not "something" but can't remember).

I'm probably going to go back to my nandroid backup of 3.5 anyways until 4.0 is stable with a working black theme, testing 4.0a2, etc until then of course.
[Captivate Android Development] bedspringlex:
when you connect usb, the button says "usb connected" before even connecting. then after connecting it says "connect usb" it is reversed.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
LOL. I could imagine the look on your face. O_O with a big "WTF" above your head. I'm hanging onto 3.5 also till everything gets ironed out for 4.0.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Thanks for testing guys! Your feedback is a huge help towards the next release. Test as much as you can, and let me know how the ROM runs. It is JS8 based, the framework is the same as Precision 3.5 but Alpha 2 should fix that.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
I can confirm this... not a big deal (esp if you use a dual-mount app), but kind of confusing.

And yes, it was pretty much like that :p, lol. There are also a slew of other issues with that Apex theme... like the power options menu shows very weird selections for Reboot, Recovery, and Download using low battery icons and gibberish about other system specs.... functionally they still work though of course. I do like the black wallpaper of the tree and bird silhouette though :). Going to try to nab that out of the zip.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Are you kidding us? We've been waiting for something to test! Thank you for releasing this work-in-progress! Can't wait till a2 :)

The JS8 base seems to be much more slick... such as boot and shutdown times as well as the pull-down notification bar snappiness... all improvements over 3.5.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
the ApeX blackout theme contains only 2 FW apks in framework folder which may be incompatible with jars from precision specially services.jar for your case

yea i would advice you to wait till ryude comes out with his awesome black theme or here is what you can do if you want blackout theme from ApeX

- Copy all framework files except 2 FW apks from ApeX ROM to blackout theme, then flash the theme
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I haven't gotten around to flashing this yet, but I plan on doing it tonight when I get home. Should I flash back to stock first, or does it matter? I'm currently on the 3.5 rom and using the onix 3.0.3 kernel fyi. I'm super happy about this release, it means things should really get moving now that we can start testing it and squashing the bugs.

Also, is that the full changelog? I remember you mentioning a couple of other fixes/tweaks earlier in the thread (namely fugu tweaks). I'm not complaining btw, just curious.

Tbh, I forgot a lot. I should have kept a log or something.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Haha ok. Yeah it might've helped. I just wanted to know if you had left some of the changes out until you got the ROM more stable.

so this version was fast and smooth for me. no problems except poor call quality. the download and upload speeds were great, but voice quality was very poor. going back to torch until things are ironed out.

Not to bag on the crysis theme but I really liked your black theme you made for 3.5. Saves more battery for me

Sent from outer space to find another place
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
The 3.5 theme still works for 4.0, but it's not optimized for JS8 yet. Framework editing takes a really long time to do, but it will be worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] bedspringlex:
sound quality was static

I used Precision 2.5 for months with no sound degradation . It has actually been my favorite rom so far. It was fast without lagfix and never crashed. I just liked the way it felt and looked. Small and efficient. Your hard work showed through. Just seems 4 alpha had a hard time making calls and then the person on the other end was faint and sometimes had static.
[Captivate Android Development] bedspringlex:
And oh by the way I usually turn noise suppression off, even on stock. I find it messes with the speaker phone aspect of the captivate. When it is on people always ask me to repeat what I said. So I turn it off. Doesn't affect call quality on my phone I feel.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I would appreciate anyone using 4.0 to try flashing a different modem to see if it corrects this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Is the KP1 modem supposed to have any call quality issues? Sometimes it happens for me, other times it doesn't. The data is the fastest I've ever used even beating JL2 and JK4.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I have been using KP1 for months. No call quality issues for me.

[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
So which one is the best?
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Im using the kc1 right now. It seems about the same as jk4 as far as reception goes but im not sure how the battery life is supposed to be on it.

For an 850 by default modem kc1 is your best bet.

[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I probably forgot to use the right lib file for the camera.apk I'm using. Thanks for the bug report.
[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
Any chance you could pass on the correct lib file to us so we can throw it on our phones to make it work, or you just gonna fix it for next release?

Thanks, ryude. This ROM is really shaping up nicely. Good job!

Gonna fix as much as possible next release.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I haven't been able to flash this yet, as I've been pretty busy this week. Now that I have the time to do so, should I just wait until the next release if it's coming out soon or should I go ahead and flash this if the update is more than a couple of days away?

Is it the Allshare app? Is that required for the Video Camera?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Allshare allows you to share/ view media files between your phone and any Samsung device (aka HDTV). I highly doubt that your camera is involved in the streaming process.
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
Why is it from one release to the next you will remove an app from your rom, but then in the following release you put the app back in? A lot of Rom Dev's do this and it doesn't quite make sense to me, to just remove and add apps back and forth between releases. It either goes with the rom or not.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
He takes it out cuz he wants to but then adds it back cuz others want him to
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I imagine it is because Precision's origin is for a minimal ROM, and there has to be a level of experimentation where you have to discover what apps are necessary and tied into others, and find out what you can do without, hence the announcement that this is an Alpha release where Ryude is asking for feedback.

When it's an official release, then we can start complaining. Just kidding! Just kidding!!!!! :D

Also, remember, that Ryude is relying on the people on this thread for complete testing as he doesn't have a Captivate any longer to do any pre-testing, if I remember correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Correct, he doesnt have a captivate. He does this now cuz he wants to not cuz he is playing around with his own captivate.

[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Just download it from Ryude's signature and add it in system\app, it should work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I add/remove apps because sometimes I find out there is a battery drain or a force close that requires a certain app to be removed or added. That's why certain versions have better battery life than others or certain versions seem to be more stable.

[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
I'd probably wait.

3.5 was rock solid for me. And after testing CM7, a bunch of other Captivate and i9000 ROMs, and Precision 4.0 Alpha 1, I haven't found a thing that was as stable and consistent as Precision 3.5. Sure, you have to customize it a bit, add back in a few removed apps (like Swype, Allshare, Gtalk, etc), but for me, it is all worth it in the end.

4.0 is shaping up to be a great build, but I still have FCs with the camera, some network issues, and a few random lockups and other problems not present in 3.5.

That is strange. I know this for a fact because i have also Removed Allshare (didnt really need it since i use my network to stream files to and from my phone) and my camera was still operable. Also, if you try out other roms, like Serendipity or FF, i believe in some of their releases....they dont have Allshare installed by default ---> point being ---> Camera still works no problem.
