i think you said "should be able to use UOT", lol. good to hear, headin there now. glad to hear also about 9.2 being a non-wipe. was about to sit in 9.1 land for a minute, lol. running real good. and that means, really good. cant wait to see change-log for 9.2

grrr,

curse you froli, was wondering why i only seen four bars when all the talk a few weeks ago was going back to five bars, lol. i flashed MattedBlues right on top of a clean 9.1 install and reboot. lol

yeah,

watsa makes APEX shine like no other these daze with the support and cool demeanor with his base crowd.

btw, you can back-up and restore apps, its the data you should be leery(word of the week) of. but restore is just fine here for me.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Fyi...if you flash the Apex Blue mod....you get 5 bars back

100% of the people, 100% of the time... can't be done! Beauty of this ROM is you can customize to your hearts content and make it your own! Start with a great foundation and the rest is up to you. ;-)

Dude it's a very good idea that you look over a post a little before commenting. If you look at every page on this post watsa has always been there. You will also see that many people stray away but always come back. watsa has an amazing temperment and seldom looses his cool:cool: Open your eyes and look around, use the "search this thread" at the top of the post. Sometimes you will find the questions you've asked have already been answered.
[Captivate Android Development] henge:
What is the average "cell standby" percentage that you guys are seeing? I know that I've been seeing numbers at or above 40% consistently on Apex. Right now I'm running Apex 9.1, Talon 4.4.21, and UGKG3 modem (but the percentages have been about the same with other modems and darkcore kernel)

Right now my stats are

10h 37m

battery is 62%

usage:

cell standby 46%

phone idle 17%

display 13%

android OS 7%

and a few other smaller things to make up the rest.

KC1 is good but XXJVR is Louder...

So Today I Flashed XXJVR on Apex 9.1 which comes with KC1. Call volume got boosted. If you guys want to try... here is the attachment.

I did not check Download/Upload Speeds... I wanted clear Call/Volume more than DL/UL speeds.

*** Please Not that JVR got me better results in my Area (NJ). So results may wary.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Did call volume get boosted with KC1 or JVR? You said one thing but uploaded another. I am confused:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
MrHaley he was referring to JVR....which is one of those things....its an AWESOME modem....great signal and data and voice..but SUCKS battery like a cheap skank. Its my daily driver :D
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Call Volume boosted on JVR.

About battery so far so good.. not a heavy user here. That being said, I just flashed it few hrs back. So I will report back in few hrs on battery.

My reception is pretty bad with JVR in Toronto.

Using JL2 at the moment and it seems pretty good.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Awesome battery! Are you still on DC 3.0 or trying out Talon's latest?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
:eek::eek::eek: Even I dont get such battery life on my ROM :eek::eek::eek:
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I really like this ROM. However, the stock GPS and Hellstorm's fix did not work well for me. Continuum 6.1 GPS does work for me. Can someone list all the settings/files to bring to Apex? GPSCONF, settings from Angry GPS, and modem, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
same for me sucks because this is my second captivate and first had great GPS this one is about useless keep losing reception, freezes, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] india23:
The reason behind is because the user charged halfway. if you look at the graph, there is a drop and then a sudden jump. this only occurs when the battery is charging. the new feature in gingerbread is that it only resets the counter when you fully charge the phone.

EDIT: My apologizes to anyone I may have offended. I guess I was mistaken.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try replacing all the files as present in the CWM flashable zip here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13954472&postcount=39
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am pretty sure if i charge it I see green bars alongwith blue below grey graph, so thats a negative. Plus i trust tom bro for his report

Edit: Ok after using my magnifying glass there is a small green bar, not sure how much charge that would give
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Absolutely Right

Thats why we all should donate to watsa when possible, he is always answering questions.. very few Devs do so!
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Dude you make the best rom;)

Went back to Talon.... again..... version .21

Mind you this is a flash and two day straight use! had only 7% battery left:eek:

And I would do this... Why... I'm at a loss with some people:(
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I think I am having memory leak issues. The phone slows down and eventually the free memory would go down to around 40mb even I use task killer to kill tasks.

Also the email notification would stop working.

Hey is Apex 9.1 still themed with the Black NexusS-style Notification Bar?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
@watsa question, I noticed on another thread they are using an odexed browser on a deodexed rom- would that work well?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep thats the default GB theme from samsung as well. There is a grey status bar mod also for 9.1
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
That rom will not be fully deodexed. It will have an odexed framework and odexed browser. Everything else will be deodexed, much like Apex JVR Odexed. Also the fix in 9.1 for browser is not a work around but a real fix.

I remember I need to check your fw and update it with the fix. My internet connection sucks at home :(
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
That's ok take your time
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
wrong!!! u dont need to charge fully..just 90%...when u charge 90% then it resets...if u r 98...and us the phone for 4 hours and drop to 90..and again if u put ur phone in charger even for a sec...this time will reset...

its not as easy as changing the wifi icon or signal bar icon...

these are 9patch images...(lets not get into that detail)....so decomiling the apk and recompile is imp...still its not a big deal...

all we need is an apk manager...which u will find if u google...then pull the mms.apk from ur phone..or can take it out from ur downloaded rom...and decompile it...then i res/drawable-hdpi u will see those images...just chnage the color of those images using photoshop...(dont chnage the properties or size..just the color)

place it back there..and recompile..and push it to ur phone system/app

and open sms..and u can see changed colour...

if you are interested to take all this pain then i can start a tutorial thread for this..with detailed step by step process...

I lost my 850 when i tried to flash this is your 850 still working? even i choose only 850 it wont connect to 850 =(

I'll give it a shot. I'm interested but just cause I like to tinker. I'll let you know if I figure out anything other than that. Thank you

what would i need to change in order to change the sound of the dialer when i press numbers to dial ? ., i like the sound skype has :)

That and the ascending volume tones.. LOVE the rom anyways just being nitpicky lol.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
for u i added a file..unrar and put it in system/media/ui/....using root explorer..and reboot....

u r right...thats the sound...system/media/ui/tw_waterdrop.ogg

u guys can pull out the sound file from anywhere...or from apex.5.2 and put it back in the right folder,...and dont forget to rename as the new one...and reboot..and u r done...

i like my dialer to be total silent..so audible touchtone and haptic feedback r unchcked...

Edit : Added the touchtone.....for dialer..
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
ascending volume tones

I hope to NEVER, EVER, EVER hear those again. WORST idea ever.

Anyways, I was wondering if everyone else is getting horrible download speeds with the default modem on Apex 9.1 as I usually get about 400-600k/sec and can't get over 100k/sec with this modem. It does however have great battery life and good signal compared to others.

talon test kernel

trying out

talon test kernel 0.4.4.21

only thing odd, have been using launcher pro and it locks up for a period of time on reboot, then starts working

uninstalled then reinstalled and still locks up

adw ex works fine and actually seems smoother on this kernel

other launchers work ok too

just going to use adw for now

just thought I would share
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
wow thank you verry veryy much , will try this out soon , whats involved in making a .ogg file , can you convert any sound or does file size come into play and have to be the same as original ?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
u can convert any sound file to ogg..and it is not required for both the files to be of the same size..but after converting..name of the file shd be the same..
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I would recommend you ditch Launcher Pro and go with Go Launcher EX. It has all of the same features of Launcher Pro minus the memory hog and better performance. And this is being said from a long time Launcher Pro user...

You can also open apk's with any zip/rar manager. They're not really "compiled" in the true sense of the word.

Is there a way to change the Messaging option to make it go to Go SMS Pro by default?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
if u read the full post then u will understand that why i said decompiling is imp..

ven i know u can open any apk's with zip or rar manager..but for changing 9patch images..u need to decompile and recompile...

try opening mms.apk and change some message bubble image and pack it again and push it back to system app and see how ur message bubble appears?!?!

[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Well, I'm back from my adventure with Biffmod. I was impressed overall, however, one major problem was a charging issue. Almost got me into big trouble. Had it plugged in and charging when I got home from work, went to check it a couple hours later and it was at 5%!! And in a bootloop. It wouldn't charge! Tried to flash back to apex but couldn't get out of the glitch kernel. Wouldn't charge when powered off either!? So VERY nervously had to flash back to stock gb....yikes!! Wasn't sure if it had enough battery to finish the job but it did. Sorry for the long story, but let that be a lesson to you kids, stick with apex!!!

I know this must have been asked but i really dont feel like searching i just want to fix my phone and be done with it.

Can i flash this right on top of cognition 5 v2?
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I really don't feel like telling.

Maybe someone else will feel like it.
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
:eek: Wow some people are rude around here. You must be one of the reasons people are leaving, thank you for your kindness. Btw when i said i dont feel like searching doesnt mean i didnt, i looked through a few pages but didnt want to spend a whole lot of time looking when i could have a NICE fellow xda member could give me a quick answer. But im not really suprised by your rude comment i guess, people are pretty cold now a days
[Captivate Android Development] shadvich:
Pretty sure cog5 comes with the kf1 bootloaders, so you can flash this right over.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
should be able to go into settings(android settings) and go to your current default SMS/MMS apk and clear defaults. after that you will get the option once again for selecting your default SMS/MMS apk. hope that helps.

btw,

GOSMS is decent, alot of visual customization(something i personally care for). just dont judge it in the first 24-48hrs. there is a very slight learning curve(mainly just getting used to GOSMS). but it works well under my current set-up in my sig.

lol, +1.

i dont feel it was rude, it was a return of your original post. i personally seen your post as pure laziness, if you look and search than state it and most will hold arms wide open. but show nothing and dont expect much in return. i have gotten used to XDA enough to know if you are not will to put yourself out there for the community to possibly catch or read over something someone else did and possibly catch what that first reader missed and post it openly yourself, than why would you just EXPECT an answer. Google provides answers, no feedback as far as tone.

i have had a few missed/unanswered posts myself and dont get ugly. i just get busy and find what i am looking for in the first place. so take this for the salt-water that it is. but it is what it is, honesty.

btw, yes, you should be able to flash right on over it. make sure you get the entire installation kit on the weebly site and READ all of the how-tos and how-nots. if something doesnt work correctly the first flash, if its not bricked, than re-flash the pack before posting an error on the devs side. do your homework and you will find most of the information right there in front of you. and yes, get the UCKF1 BL(make sure you know how to deal with this, plz. very risky).

hope this helps, if it doesnt( than to bad i dont have a dont-thank button)

love

just wanted to let you know that my voodoo is stock minus the punchy settings right now. but i tend to amp up the controls cause i like my Super AMOLED to POP. lol. gotta tell ya, i am thinkin existz has almost nailed it. so close. i am running fairly smooth and getting lag after 8-10hrs of HARD use. re-boot and most issue disappear.

still slightly confused as to which uv control we need to work out. ControlFreak, Tegrak, the new app from shane and existz? it feels like freakin Price is Right. what should i go with. lol. i heard use Tegrak because it follows the file path set by existz. not sure if ControlFreak does as well though. hmm.

not staying in the forums tonight. got some chill time this weekend and than its all server-client and hardware. yum, lol.

Maybe not the place for this but I just finished flashing UCKF1 BL's and went to flash Apex and when I did I got an installation aborted messages stating not enough free space. never happened. dont know what it means or how to fix
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
APEX will take care of you bro. all the way. UCKF1 is the suggested BL for 9.1 on the ApexWeebly site. remember to back-up and dont restore DATA after the clean install.

btw, not trying to be an ass back there, even though i am. just trying to make the point of why others would feel that way and how you might of missed that. alot of peps roll in and ask without looking back a few pages and finding the answer themselves from ten minutes ago. lol.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
did you wipe the sd clean before the install? do you have old files on the sd that may be taking up space? if so, i did a format on the sd, system etc etc and installed on top of it. UCKF1 last(but i was already on a GB BL). Do you already have a GB BL installed?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I just recently decided to try out the new cognition and I'm glad I did. For some reason the performance is so much better then when I was on Apex 9.1. All the apps just open and close very quickly. I really think it's Touchwiz 4 that's making the ROM slower. I'm more of a performance over looks kind of guy, so i'm sticking with touchwiz 3 looks.
[Captivate Android Development] talleywhacker:
yeah, I was already on GB BL, I tried installing latest talon using sgs kernel flasher and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I must have misunderstood some things. Back to Odin, I guess?

can you get to CWM at all? if so flash there. Hint, stop using sgs and such. CWM is the more stable approach from my readings. and ODIN is a last resort and to only be dealt with in a have to situation. I still use ODIN afrer my flash to do certain little mods that I have carried around like baggage, but only for those mods, not my kernel, rom, updates, and such zips that you may find. most devs are making things more CWM accessible these days.

and dont sweat a bootloop, that just a sign of bad flash most of the time and can be gotten out of fairly easily. the little picture with andro getting **** on by a pigeon, that is the one you want to be leery(word of the week) of.
[Captivate Android Development] talleywhacker:
I'm all good now. So am I to understand that I CAN flash Apex right on top of UCKF1? Is there anything I should do before that? I've been I9000 BL's for the longest time I've forgotten the button combos to get into recovery. lol time to do some reading.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
yeah, you can throw APEX 9.1 on top of UCKF1 BL. it is the suggested BL by APEX for 9.1.

oh god, the botton combos, lol. i always use the power button menu. i think it falls into the three button rule of volume down with power is DL mode and up with power is CWM. cant remember of the bat. lol.

Hey dude! Just wanted to let you know the music player you provided works better than the one included in 9.1 (it does for me). There is, however, a lot popping or skipping sounds when listening to music. Like it would on a PC with incomplete drivers. Other than that, works great!
