[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yup they come all "pre-cooked" with kernels and modems... otherwise they wouldn't run :)

But you can flash different modems and even kernels (at your own peril). You can find them in the dev forum.. usually "update.zip" that you can use to flash under recovery.

But.. this sounds like maybe your internal RAM is corrupt?

Do these things persist if you were to stay at stock 2.1? I would run it "barebones" with just the restore and use the phone for a day or two to see if it continues to happen.

If the issues stop - your all good - just need to figure out what your doing or what your installing that is horking your phone. For me in the past its been due to overclocking without even knowing it (yay for Voltage Control) or it's been an application or bad flash causing the issue.

If the issues persist under the stock ROM - probably hardware related and you would need to warranty it for a different one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
diablo009 - I ended up not using Tibu to restore anything because I feared that a backup was the cause of my force closings. I had done a clean flash of stock, rooted and then flashed a new ROM. The only apps I installed were dolphin, pandora, clockwork and Lookout.

Thanks avgjoegeek, I did kind of fear that it was bad RAM as this behavior mimics performance on a PC with bad RAM installed.

I did run it on stock for half a day because I wanted to verify and there were no force closings. I am going to run it on stock for the weekend and see what happens. If everything is all good then I will flash di11i's 5.5 and see what happens.

Could it be possible that some features of 2.2 just are not compatible with my captivate build?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
When u restore to stock, format the internal SD from within windows. (Ok, I won't contest anyone's arguments on this, but I personally find it easier than doing a master clear and to wipe off even the basic folders android os format creates.)

And, I would recommend u download a fresh copy of 5.5, with a kernel that does

not

have any OC in it, to play safe. 5.5 is available in two versions - one with OC kernel, and one with non-OC kernel.

It could be a case of kernel too. Try swapping kernel and see if that helps. Not all kernels go well with all hardware. That's the reason I swapped to xcalibur kernel as soon as I loaded 5.5.

I think, personal opinion here, u could do away with clockwork recovery too. U cud download the cwm console update.zip and put it on ur sdcard root. And apply the update.zip with in console in stock to load up CWM console. This is the most non-intrusive way of going to CWM console as far as I know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
I've been running stock since yesterday with zero issues. My force closing issue usually appears within an hour of flashing a new ROM so this is a very good sign that its a flashing and not a hardware issue.

diablo009, you mention using the CWM console instead of clockwork recovery. Isn't this what the clockwork manager installs? Are you saying to install through the consol startup app instead of using the clockwork app when fully booted up? If so, this is what I have been doing.

Maybe its a kernel issue as I think i've exhausted all other options. I'll try xcaliburinhand's v2.3.2 01.31.2011 and see if it works.

Any other suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Yes. But instead of updating the system boot with this, it leaves the system as it is, and uses is as a standalone program.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
I searched around and couldn't find any download links for this. Do you happen to know where I can find it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Here you go.

1. Copy this to the root of ur sd card.

2. Go to recovery

3. Select "apply update.zip"

4. If u r doing this for the first time, u would need to step 3 again.

You would not now be in a green screen recovery console.

I would recommend storing this file in a safe place so u can copy it to sdcard root whenever u want to revert to stock before flashing a new rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
Awesome! Thanks!

From your description I think this is the update.zip I have but I'll try anything :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
welcome to the world of flashing. let me (us) know if u need any more help :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
Update:

I ran on stock ROM for 2 days without any force closings, no issues.

I just flashed di11i's 5.5 (no OC) ROM and within 10 minutes had numerous force closings and a ROM reboot.

I then flashed the I9000 reoriented ROM (from diablo009's signature link) and the issues persisted.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or any more ideas on what could be causing my issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
did you restore anything with titanium backup?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRoc740:
No, didn't restore anything.

I flashed the update and had the force closings within a few minutes while I was typing an SMS using Swype.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
If you want help, be more specific. Do you have an American or Canadian Captivate? Which build number is your phone; it is behind the battery and it will say 1006, 1007... If your phone is prior to Build 1010 you can use Odin 1 click to Stock JF6. 1010 and later will need to use a different build. If you have a Canadian Captivate you will need to find the thread that talks about Canadian files. The info is easily found if you just SEARCH! I hope I have helped you enough to find the info you need, which is already in the forums.

I really liked the Nexus S Google Splash screen so i decided to make one.

It doesnt look too high quality because i made it rather quickly with Paint.NET, which isnt too bad of a program :D

here is a picture of it

for the people who dont know how to put it: load into fasboot and use "

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565"

for the people with the new radio and the .0013d spl, as always revert to an engineering spl and fastboot it.

NOTE: for people with the hboot-1.33.0013d.img and the 2708 kernel, and using the ezGingerbread ROM for ezterry,i found out that it wouldnt boot when reverting to the engineering, replacing the splash, and simply putting back the hboot-1.33.0013d.img. so i found out one way to not get that problem.

(in terms of what i had to to)

1. Nandroid Backup (which is important!)

2. revert to install engineering spl (haykuro spl,Engineering SPL 1.33.2005, etc)

heres a spot to get one

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-change-your-splash-screen/

3. load into fasboot by power+back and change directory by cd X:\AndroidSDK\tools or wherever you have it

4. then command

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

5. command

fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img

(remember. radio first!)

6. reboot into recovery and flash superwipe

7. Nandroid Restore

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimaI896:
Hey guys, I need some quick help on flashing a new rom/kernel onto my buddies Bell Vibrant GT-I9000M. I am guessing this is the right section since it is called a vibrant lol as I was confused to maybe post in the I9000 Section.

I own a Captivate so I don't know much about the vibrant on how to go about things, figured it would be similar.

I been searching but been having a hard time, and he needs his phone back quick. Was wondering if you guys could help me on how to just get his phone working again. His phone can only go into download mode, recovery 3e, and stays on a constant boot screen. Makes things hard to do. I wanted to do a oneclick odin to stock fix like that captivate has but I don't see one anywhere here. If there is then this whole thing would be much easier.

If not, any one mind giving me some steps on how to use odin 1.7? I figured I'd go with the darky rom and suggested kernel.

Thanks in advance

[Defy General] switchgott:
Hi,

are there any performance / memory / filesystem tweaks for defy froyo?

And how could we insert it?

Thanks
[Defy General] Jason78729:
I'm looking for the same info.
[Defy General] xdaid:
1) Let's start with the big one:

Deblur and delete all the garbage from the system. You can delete around 50 apk from /system/app/ still preserving all the basic capabilities of your phone, it'll be a lot faster then.

Many of the custom roms you can find around are already deblurred, cleaned from garbage apps, and deodexed (see below).

2) Now you have to deodex /system/app/ and /system/framework/ apks.

Deodex basically means cut all the .odex files from those two folders.

It looks like this produces a little more in terms of performances.

3) build.prop hacks.

build.prop is a setup file located in the /system/ folder, by editing some of the lines contained into this file you can improve your defy's capabilities.

most interesting lines are:

dalvik.vm.heapsize

set the heap size for the virtual machine. Increase this value to get better performances, on the other hand, this will reduce the ram available for the applications, so do not overdo it.

windowmgr.max_events_per_sec

Increase this value to get faster scrolling. You will see the effects of this hacks especially when you scroll the application drawer.

media.stagefright.enable...

Dirty hack, JUST FOR FUN and not really useful. If you set the stagefright values to "true" (by default they're false) as a result you'll get incredible scores on the quadrant benchmark. Nothing here is faster, actually quadrant just fails to decode h.264 (time elapsed = 0 sec).

4) sysctl hacks.

To apply these hacks you need a terminal emulator and, of course, you must be rooted. From terminal type:

sysctl -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1

sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=10

More info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523707

You may need busybox.

5) Use a 3rd party task killer (e.g. Advanced Task Killer).

Two considerations about that:

a) android 2.2 has its built-in task killer, when the system claims memory this built-in task killer saves the state of one or more apps/processes in background and then close them. They will be properly restored when needed.

b) the use of a 3rd party task killer can optimize the memory usage, but the abuse of it just makes the phone slower. Actually killing the highest number of apps is not the best solution, since the system will re-launch those apps instead of simply restore them (that is much faster). If an application is used frequently then exclude it from the kill-list.

Hope this can help

Just go here through your web/mobile browser and find the version you want to test! and for X10 download the armv7 version or the one with the suffix r7!

the beta 4 is pretty solid and stable, but I am testing the pre beta 5 version :cool:

And for those who says it is available in the market! It isn't for everyone...

Latest update (2.25.2011) seems much better, but I still had to take it off my phone. 14mb is too much without App2SD and everything else is sluggish since (on my phone) there's not much space left internally. I liked the Sync thing, it showed exactly what was the last pages on my desktop, but I use Chrome mostly and that syncs across computers too.

Reformatting the text still doesn't seem to work correctly.

Some jpgs were rendered poorly

confused on single/double tap to zoom, ran through preset sizes and returned to original. I suppose it works better if you have dual touch.

lag on touch, so you may "Next" twice

FF on the desktop is pathetic, makes me wonder why they even bother with an Android version. 14-18mb for a browser? Really? I'm confident they've included a dishwasher+coffee maker and a sauna in there.

^^ haha tell me about it :p

There was a time when I used to be a firefox user too, but the 3.xx versions started sucking ass. I then moved to the 4.xx beta and it's a lot better than before. The sluggishness and insanely high resource usage remains though :/ and they still haven't fixed it despite ELEVEN betas and being over a year in active development. Last time I checked there's one more beta due soon, may be more after that, too :o

Weird thing happened with my phone today. Was listening to some music and browsing the facebook at the same time and suddenly music changed to this high pitch noise and had pull pull out the headphones cos it was really loud.

Everything on the phone froze and I was not able to do anything. None of the buttons worked etc.

I ended up removing the battery and once inserted it back, and pressed the on button, phone wouldn't come back on. Not even a vibration.

I have just plugged it to my PC and can see the orange light as if it is charging. But still won't come on. If I try and turn it on, orange light disappers but if I take the battery out and back in again, starts to charge - orange light.

I know the phone was fully charged before I left work and this happened almost like 15-20 minutes later.

I will contact HTC tomorrow, but just wondering if they'll repair it as I have used unrevoked about a week ago to root the phone but I have not loaded any roms as yet - Still have the original t-mobile rom.
[Desire General] JustForFunn:
So the screen stays completly black when you power the device on ?

You might try to Hard reset the device.

I would recommend this anyway before giving the phone away.

Else you can try to boot into recovery.

Or connect to your PC via USB and see whats happening.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Boot into recovery by holding down Vol Down and powering on. Try clearing the cache and rebooting.

If it doesn't boot, I recommend, doing a full wipe and trying again.

If this still doesn't work then put a room on your SD card and flash.

If you can't boot to recovery then its a hardware fault or battery issue. I suggest going into your local Telco store and ask to test with another battery.

Good Luck
[Desire General] Lats:
Further to this, this morning I have noticed that the battery light was green, so the battery is obviously charging.
