Not sure why people depend on the ROM to do this. Shouldn't anyone who cares about ads just install the free app AdFree from the marketplace? Then they get updates and it frees the ROM author from having to worry about this.

This is what Talon kernel OP says

Now CWM flashable!

NOTE Zip will wipe cache/dalvik cache during flash, so first boot will take longer

all that doesnt matter now, I think you cannot but can you see if you have recovery mode? If yes do u have apex zip on your sd card?

If no then ODIN to stock is the only option to me. sorry

@Watsa, you has stated that you could use ATT Bootloaders now with 8.3. Do you recommend using ATT Bootloaders, are there advantages?

I'm getting worse battery life comparing to Apex 8.2 even when background and auto-sync off any suggestions? my battery is draining very fast, at 88% after 1h 23m
[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
hey watsa, does the Apex Blue work for 8.3? I was having the same problem on 8.2 that i'm having on 8.3 trying to CWM Apex Blue. When the phone reboots it goes into a boot loop after the home page flashes. Only way to fix is to CWM back to original theme or to the matted blues theme. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
whats your display time? It was a wipe flash, give 2-3 days for battery caliberation
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
strange, it should work even with 8.3, I am yet to update it for 8.3 but all you would lose is status bar tweaks and data toggle in pulldown
[Captivate Android Development] juanej:
Display time is 5m 48s, i'm also thinking about battery calibration but when on 8.2 it worked really good from the first charge
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:

ok I have another toy for those who want to play with it. Apex JVR-FUN

JVR odexed stock rom with Apex 8.3 theme. It is rooted but wont have extended power menu, multiple lockscreens & home haptic.

Quick boot app from market can be used for getting extended power menu options. Since it is odexed browser will work as samsung wants it to work IMO. No Video call references anywhere. and Talon 0.4.4.5 test kernel

Let me know if anybody is interested.

there is any way to reset or delete all the hardware?

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
the file that you are using "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" is not a full rom. Use KF1 full ODIN

Hi watsa! thanks for all!

i tried all;

ODIN ONE CLICK STOCK (odin starts to flash but stop as shown in the logs)

ODIN ONE CLICK KF1 (odin starts to flash but stop as shown in the logs)

I9000 bootloaders an talon or darck core kernels (odin starts to flash but stop as shown in the logs)

Odin wont complete the flash.

Your phone is not bricked. Odin is not able to complete the flash probably because of bad connection.

Try it with another computer with freshly installed drivers.

And try

this package

if your phone build is 1010 or older.

1. Open Odin. Plug USB cable to computer.

2. Turn off your phone. Press volume low button and insert the usb cable into your phone. It should boot in download mode and odin should detect phone on some com port. (if you are on i897 bootloaders, you will have to press volume up+ low button and insert the cable)

3. Click start on odin.

If you're stuck again try Heimdall package instead of odin.

Apex is still my favourite looking GB rom, so congrats on 8.3 :D I temporarily switched to DlevROM because of the lag issues I was getting. Hopefully with DarkCore or the new Talon 0.4.4s, that issue will disappear.

I think this rom should include tw4.5 and new market by default though.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
tw4.5 was still causing some issues for me.

didnt include new market because it randomly fails to update apps.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Ah, so it was intentional. Anyway, looking forward to that JVR rom :D
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
Ok, so I'm behind on all this stuff, I have been on a 2.2 rom for 8 months now.

I was wondering if you guys could answer me this:

1. The link to the talondev kernel in the OP says those links are for captivate roms only. I take it I should click the link for i9000 versions since this is an i9000 rom correct?

EDIT: Jk, I'm retarded. Ignore this question.

2. How come my version on the rom say it's got modem i9000XXJVQ, but under baseband, it says i9000UGKC1?? Shouldn't it say xxjvq under baseband?

I've got the darkcore kernel right now but I want to mess with the talon dev.
[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
Yeah I have no clue either...it did it on both captivates I flashed Apex too (clean installs from JF6).

Do you have any other battery mods you'll be putting up?
[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
Yeah I was digging TW4.5, hope you can put it in 8.4...and go back to your original blue theme LOL everyone's doing the green thing and it's blah.

Within the last few weeks I went from CM7 --> Apex 8.2 --> Darky 10.1 --> Darky 10.2 --> Mosaic VI --> Apex 8.3...I think i'll stick to Apex 8.3. It's running wonderful on the DC kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] bokaboka:
For JVR, is there any chance of implementing CM7's headset interface?

In regards to music control on CM7, a single press of the headset's call button is always play/pause and a double press is always next track regardless of whether the screen is on/off. On every other ROM/kernel, the call receive button requires the screen to be turned on and/or is incredibly unreliable for music control to the point of being useless.

I'm not sure if this is the same for everyone else, but this is what happens to me on Samsung's stock headset and also Shure's MPA adapter.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
watsa...count me in for the jvr fun too...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The modem can be different from build. If you have tried froyo roms specially I9000 2.2.1 roms remember how they were JS3, JS5, JS8 based but with JK4 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
2. Baseband is the modem. So the one you have is the KC1 modem. JVQ is the ROM build. Apex is built on samsung's i9000 stock firmware, which they labelled as JVQ. That part shows up in the "Build Number = GINGERBREAD.XXJVQ"

zipalign?

i was playing with the zipalign tool and found that many apps in system/app are not zipaligned, is this okay?

Rom is really smooth, I am actually using and enjoying TW for the first time. Great battery life on the first cycle.

On my first charge from below 20% I got a charge death...plugged in to charge last night (on) this morning phone was off. Unplugged then plugged usb, showed the big battery charge icon with less than 20% or so remaining.

Previous Apex and other GB ROMs have had the occasional (usually in first or second charge) charge bug - the get to 100% but unplug and it is 80% or whatever.

We'll see how it settles, probably nothing wrong with the ROM - hoping JVR can cure all the periodic GB charge related issues.

You could also use SGS Kernel Flasher from the market to flash the .tar file from the DarkyRom website if you don't get a CWM .zip

Welcome to the team at the Apex;)
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Love the 5 bar signal, the data button could come in handy once in a while. The dialer though seems more... plain/flat... than what's on 8.2 though. Especially if you look at the green dial/call button (on 8.2 they have more "depth" and gradient/style to them).

Is it ok to like 8.2's dialer better? :) Or am I missing something...

Which is not a minor issue in the least... since these are phones after all, first and foremost, and sound quality is rather important. ;) Loss of Audience support is a tragic compromise we've needed to give up since day one in-trade for the benefits of the I9000 ROMs. :( I dream of the day where we can have both...

Will do. Might stay on 8.2 for a while so I'm still on Talon for now. :)

Yeah, seriously. Totally different and incompatible file formats. One would hope the tool would catch it and balk before turning your phone into a brick since the decompression should fail.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope its a personal choice. If you want dialer from 8.2 pull dialertabactivity.apk from system/app and add it to 8.3. then flash 8.3
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
The browser in 8.2 and 8.3 is driving me nuts. Pages won't scroll or zoom I'd say 1/3 of the time. If I hit home, it'll bring up which launcher to choose and I can hit back and it fixes it for a while. Sometimes have to do home, back a couple times to get it to work. I'm pretty sure this is a known issue, right?

What browser do you guys recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Ecxellent update!

The only thing I have still issues with is the internet browser. Sometimes I can pinch enlarge...sometimes I can't...
