I have been playing with launchers lately since reading that LP doesn't play nice sometimes and can cause increased battery drain. I have found Go Launcher to do everything LP does. I also like and am using Zeam. It can't rename icons like Go and LP but it has a 6-icon scrollable dock I like that returns to home just like the home pages. Check them both out.

My ZEAM home sreen below with Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper (dark black background with only red particles).

I have a blue/orange mix ill be posting in a bit.

Do you have multiple apps trying to control the lights at the same time?

Any chance your computer registered the usb as 1.0 when you plugged it in? Its done it to me before randomly, though i dont remember if there was actually a speed lose.

Yeah ive been eyeing Go launcher up a bit. Ill prob give it a "go" later today.

hey guys i just flashed 2.1 this morning and have been playing with it since.... i found about 3 bugs with the theming in a couple apps but its hard to explain id rather show you so brings me to my question how in the world do you guys take snapshots of your screen like that as if you were not using a digital camera so i can take a few of the bugs that i found? thx ahead of time
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
it takes me about 20-25 minutes to transfer about 4.5gb
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
shootme app is in market

i use ddms (part of the SDK) from my computer
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
An app called "Shoot Me" in the Market.

Edit: Too slow. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Like this...
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
No. I'm running this rom with bare minimum apps/tweaks. Nothing that would effect that.
[Captivate Android Development] mxracer101:
Running 2.1 and contacts, gmail, messaging etc. that are "inverted" show black text on a black gradient on all the buttons etc. I can't see the text at all. :(

EDIT: A specific example... Open Contacts, view or add an address for the contact and click the Home button to change the address type. The options are not readable. It's black text on black radio buttons.

LOL I like that LMGTFY or whatever that was. I'll have to use that for the wifey or others that refuse to RTFM.

What modem does this ROM come with? Its working amazingly well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Ok your right I just copied the same files to my friends captivate running serendipity and it took 3-4 minutes, my point is it took an abnormally long time to copy files to my phone running andromeda 1.1.

I didn't do this when I was running 1.0 a while back. This is a fresh install of 1.1 after odin to stock / master clear. Obviously something is causing slow file transfer here.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Might sound stupid but try rebooting your pc/phone if you haven't. And like someone else said make sure your phone is recognizing as USB2.0 and not 1.0
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I will make a 2.1 to 1.1 cwm non wipe zip tonight if I have the time.

First, let's see if it happens again

I did a much smaller change to the services.jar that the other mods posted, since most of the rogers services.jar was identical to the armani one. Thus, I expect less problems with my mod. I never saw the lights behaving like that. Do you have also keep the lights on, blinky or any other app trying to control them?

Shoot me or drocap2 (from the market)

When I try to whipe Dalvik cache, it says

Did it still wipe alright?
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I get the same message and have for awhile. Doesn't seem to effect anything, wipe still goes through. I have no clue what its referencing.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I guess it only happens when you are back to stock to install your favorite rom. :)

[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
That would be awesome! After flashing 2.1 I decided I want the stock look so that would be great

No nothing. It has to be somwthing in the mod. Some mods make it worse depending on how many files have been changed or whatever.

Is is possible to provide the dialer.apk from Andromeda 2.0 and can this be applied to Andromeda 1.1?
[Captivate Android Development] ruey_yih:
So, after reflashing Adromeda 1.1 twice.. I'm still not able to get the GPS to work. None of the apps recognizes the GPS. Tested on GPS Test, it says that GPS is on but somehow Im just not getting any signal I suppose?
[Captivate Android Development] Chillyw:
Getting "Unable to connect to server" when setting up exchange. Guessing its security related. Can anyone recommend a specific email.apk that I can replace it with? I've tried a few different ones but get force closes when I do.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
thx a lot we will fixthis screenshot really appreciated ..
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Nice job! Andromedena Tek Galaxy - Mark Two.1 looks excellent. I like dark backgrounds but with colored icons, just like this. I prefer this to the new 2.1 themed Andromeda. In fact, I will probably update my Andromeda 2.0 themed to v1.1 unthemed and use your theme.

Not crazy about the alternative screens and icons.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick281051:
you need 2.1 to use the theme
[Captivate Android Development] krypt0:
Along with this issue, I am facing few other graphical issues.

The first is with gmail, I now have some emails with black text on black background, making the email impossible to read. (see pic#1):eek:

The second is with the google navigation app, when I do a voice search for a location and multiple ones exist, I get a pop-up with black on black, this time barely legible. (pic#2)

Last, and I am not sure if it's the actual app or something the update did to it, but I can no longer upload shoot-me pic's to the forums using the xda app on my phone. I could be ignorant to this being a known or persistent issue, but I was able to do so on Andromeda 2.0.:confused:

p.s. This is by far and away the best rom for my captivate I have EVER tried! Kudos to tk!
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
K9. It's really quite good.
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
Is the gmail black on black issue confirmed as a problem for everyone running the 2.1 update?

I love the orange theme, but I use gmail over the native email app so that would be a problem for me...I guess I can wait for the 2.1 to 1.1 zip or just roll with 2.0 until this can be resolved...it's not like anything is broken in 2.0.

Thanks again for the hard work, TK!

i897 running Andromeda 2.0
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Back to 1.1

I'm attaching here the promised zip to switch from Andromeda 2.1 to 1.1

Use it as a regular cwm zip (push it to the sdcard -> reboot recovery -> install zip from sdcard -> choose zip)

it won't wipe anything not theme related. Enjoy.

EDIT: Lol please disregard the comment in the megaupload page :D
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
There is a mod out there with less security, but I can't test it since at work the exchange server is blocked for android devices, so I will never be able to connect and thus to debug anything there.

Well, it was not a long wat, was it? ;)

BTW, you don't need to remove all the theme. Just take the Email.apk file and copy it over the one in /system/app/ using adb or root explorer

Did you try to change any setting in lbstestmode? (Use sgstools->secret codes->gps-test and settings)
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
How can I change the read/write permissions for the '/system' folder?

I'm trying to put custom dialer sounds

Or the Mount r/w button at the top right of root explorer when in said folder.

Encountered a strange bug. Running latest andromeda 1.1 when I try to have the power options (holding the power button) my phone just vibrates and nothing happens

Update: if if try to get the power menu then pull down my notification bar it wont pull down
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
that didn't work...will try the post above you
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Did you use the camera just before that happened?

Pirateghost just commented me that bug also. I think I know why. In the meantime, go to the camera app, and exit with the back key, not the home key. The phone should behave normally then. I will try to fix that soon.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
odd... 0.o
[Captivate Android Development] sansart:
Suppose I wanted to install a battery mod (ie put one that has the percent number) is this possible? How do I go about doing that to 1.1
[Captivate Android Development] greystealth:
Wow this is absolutely the best ROM ive ever loaded onto my captivate. It feels like a beast! Great work!
[Captivate Android Development] krypt0:
So I did just this, extracted the gmail.apk from Andromeda 2.0 and overwrote the 2.1 apk with it. This however, did not fix the issue, now the app wont launch and will force-close every attempt to open it. Other suggestions?

An 802MB copy to my phone on Andromeda 1.1 took 1:43.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
wow orange theme just keeps looking better and better never thought i would miss the orange lol
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Use the one from 1.1. It's not the same apk as the one in 2.0
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
home key in camera

Sorry about the bug

Here's a fix for that. Just rename it Camera.apk and drop it in /system/app on top of the old one.

Don't install it, only copy over!

Please let me know if you observe any other weird behaviour with it
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Sorry, I now see that stated in the post.

I'm confused. 2.1 is the themed version and 1.1 is unthemed so you can add themes to it.

This is a theme to change the built-in theme on 2.1? Why? And why not for 1.1? Please set me straight on this.
[Captivate Android Development] krypt0:
Perfect! I can live without a themed gmail app :)

I do have another question tho. I noticed while rummaging around in the /system/app folder, that I still have apk.s for apps you removed from the 2.1 rom. I.E: Samsung music app; Also should I be un-installing KeepTheLightsOn?

Since I just did an update and not a full install from stock, should I be going through and deleting them with root explorer? Or will this be bad?

Again, amazing job on the rom!
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Short version: Because I can?

Slightly longer version: The 2.1 version has a lot of xml edits that I can't do. Every time I try I screw something up. I loved the orange since the first time I installed andromeda 2.0. So I used the 2.1 as my base and added the blue into it because that's what I wanted. Why would I redo all the xml and graphical changes just to make them look like 2.1.... that makes no sense... and would have been a huge waste of time. Its not like im getting paid to do it. I did it for myself and then gave other people access to it.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Those should have been deleted with the zip install. If not, we used the wrong zip :o

I will check the scripts tomorrow.

But, to answer your question, yes, you can safely delete any apk in there. Worst case, you will end up with f/cs and you will be forced to push the apk back into /system/app/ using adb. If you know what I'm talking about, feel free to experiment.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Try here:

http://circle.glx.nl/

I didn't try it myself, but since it's an unthemed fw-res it should work
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Well, nobody here is paid for any of this... we do it because we enjoy doing it.

If you have trouble with the xml feel free to drop by the chats or send us a pm
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Ok just loaded 1.1..... so far so good except?.... 16 bit graphics? Really....makes out look cheesy. Anyway to change that? Also I would prefer more signal bars....maybe in the next change?
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
The only weird thing I have noticed thats not a huge deal is, from the pull down menu when you turn wifi on it does not pop up the available networks. Had to go into settings to find them. Make sure and forget the network you are connected to already then try.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Thanks for the reply. OK, I get it -- that's what development and customization is all about. Again, well done, the blue softens the orange just enough for me.
[Captivate Android Development] jastx:
Bluetooth voice dial from headset?

I asked this in the Andromeda 1.0/2.0 thread but it got lost in the 130 posts and anticipation of the update...

Bluetooth sounds great with Andromeda but is anyone able to initiate and reliably voice-dial calls from their bluetooth headset without looking at or even touching the phone?

If so, please tell me the apps, headset and procedure you are using.

I see such great development done with this ROM and other creative stuff being worked on, surely someone knows how to do this.

Thanks for the advice.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I might just do that one of these days... but be warned.. if and when I do it will be an onslaught of noobesk proportions. :eek:

Ignoring me would be the smart choice.

Just a post of appriciation,

Thanks guys, everybody in the thread, because of the work and input from everyone here, I only have to flash once a month now.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
This works really well. It's actually the first thing I did since I prefer the numbers with the battery. There are a lot of options to choose from. Just upload the framework-res.apk from the ROM's zip and add/change the stuff you want. You can basically do a mini theme with your notification bar.

The only snag I hit was it gave me an error in cwm when I flashed it. I think it had something to do with the boot animation. However, it booted with the animation I chose and everything looks and works great! Let me know if you have any questions on it, but I think the directions on the site are good.

[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I had to hold the power button and turn on data services manually after flashing the new update...
[Captivate Android Development] Battlehymn:
Awesome

OK, first off, The cappy is my first android phone which I thought was very good until I flashed the Andromeda 1.0 ROM ... now it is amazing. I didn't know if I would like the orange but I flashed 2.1 anyway and it's fantastic!!!

GPS locks are fast, though it still jumps around a bit when near parallel roadways not entirely certain that it is the fault of the GPS rather than the application's interpretation of the data. Still better than out of the box.

Battery life is good ... drove about an hour with the navigation and media player on and the volume all the way up, when I pulled into my driveway the battery was at 82%. So, battery life, at least for me, seems a bit improved.

Call quality with the included modem is good, but what really shines for me is the data throughput with HSUPA. Didn't know this phone was this fast before.

I have not had any WiFi problems that I've read in other posts ... all the networks were showing up when I turn it on.

The ONLY issues i have noticed may be related ...

1. The mic button on my wired headset does not work. (the mic itself works, and I do have audio from both earbuds so the signals are not mixed).

2. Video out does not work. (wich leads me to believe that the pins that serve the mic button are the same as video out)

Not sure why those things don't work as this is based on a 9010 which essentially is a Captivate.

... suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
Add network through settings.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
You can install the gallery3d that doesn't have that battery drain bug from SGS Tools. When I did it, it asked to install busybox (which I thought I already had) and then it went well. Gallery sensor only shows up using battery for as long as it's actually open and nothing more.

Morning shutdowns

So a couple of days ago, my phone started shutting down in the mornings (not at any other time during the day, even though I've tried to recreate the issue by not using the phone for the same amount of hours I usually sleep), I'm almost certain my phone isn't affected by the random shutdown issue because it's the first time it behaves like this and I've had it for a long time now... The first time it happened I installed catlog from the market to be able to debug the behavior and maybe realize what's causing it, but since logs are erased when the phone shuts down and then turns on again, I'm not sure how to find the cause of this problem.

Any suggestions?

PS: I'm running Andromeda 1.1 right now, but it started happenning 3 days ago, while I still had Andromeda 1.0
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
anyone running 2.1 and using the android unlock or rotary unlock noticed that it can be bypassed by pressing the menu button? Mine can. is it normal or is it a bug?

You sound like me too months ago lol :)

RPICASO;

I'm running 1.1 and just tried it....and you are correct...mine does our as well.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
LMAO!

so in version 1.0/2.0 we used the 3dGallery from SGS Tools - the one without the battery drain bug.

the requests came pouring in to use the one from cognition, which was actually the one from the armani base build we used....so we used it in this version and now everyone wants to go back to that other version.....:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
I need the 2.1 to 1.1 cwm zip. Along with the memo.apk which was removed in this version
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
memo.apk is attached, just drop it into /system/app

it was removed as part of a 'slim-down' initiative in this release, and we noticed that quite a few other rom-makers got rid of it on their builds, so we assumed it would be ok to get rid of on this one.

the 2.1 to 1.1 cwm zip is what aleadam posted on another page of this thread. its too big to attach to a post, so it will have to be downloaded from the download site he linked to.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
thank you sir

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrud77:
Hello guys,

I had my HD rooted and did S-off according to the guide posted here in XDA. I am now using CyanogenMod 7 for HD and it works completely fine.

However, the problem is that I am still not able to change default fonts. At first I thought that I didn't make it correctly during S-off and then did S-off once again. But the problem remains same as before. I also changed R/W setting on the system folder using Root Explorer and then switched default fonts to ones that I like manually which eventually resulted in endless loop in booting process.

So it will be of great help if someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

some of the png's i open in photoshop have a black background/black pixely border. i have took a ss of one of the media control images as an example and it's attached below.

if anyone knows why this is happening could you please give me an idea? It's not all just a few here and there. :confused:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
because i believe you are looking at .9.png's which use black borders as a guide for stretching if the file is something.9.png then that is your answer
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidx11:
hmm.. i haven't seem to have a problem editing the .9 PNG's, i've tried searching this forum and a few other forums and haven't found that anyone has asked this.. that particular png file name is "ic_media_play". i've also had the same problem when opening the wifi, 3g, some of the keyboard buttons, the "spinner_black_16" image. :( i've tried opening them in firefox then copying image, dragging them directing into photoshop and a few other things. sorry if this is a newb question...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
well ic_media_play isnt a .9.png so if it has a black outline its just for the way it looks the wifi, 3g, and spinner_black_16 images you shouldnt have a problem with since they arent .9.png's either, most of the keyboard images are tho and will need to be decompiled and recompiled to get them to work correctly. im working on a theme right now and theres no easy way to edit them, oh also if you're using something like 7zip to open up the apk that might be your problem i edit most of mine in Linux so i dont remember if you can open them in Photoshop without decompiling but the best way is to decompile, edit, then recompile and there are guides out there that describe how to better than i could but search for apktool or apkmanager
