Can someone tell me how to upload small photos instead of the billboard size things I seem to keep putting up?

Everything on my phone is moving in slow motion now, and I have to press more than once sometimes to get things to work. Should I redo the ROM?

Is there a version of Dark Core that enables the color calibration?

That was funny as hell. Try resizing before u post if from a PC. If from phone u can resize also. If its screenies I use shootme.

Only just noticed, but 720p video recording does not work. Just me or just not supported in this rom? running 8.2 with 1.2 oc Talon kernel
[Captivate Android Development] DimSumGuy83:
If you're using the talon kernels with 352MB of memory then 720p recording is disabled.

Darkcore zip

can someone can make a zip (flashable) of the Darkcore Kernel..

i am in MachuPichu now traveling with my mac, many miles away from my windows pc to flash with odin..

btw, i have altitude sickness today ..
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I used SGS kernel flasher to flash darkcore or you can use Heidmall to flash as its multi platform(you can use it with mac) :)
[Captivate Android Development] latinoguy:
Just open the darkcore kernel.tar file with winrar extract the zimage to any folder, conect your mobile trougth usb conection open apex8.2.zip that is in your root sd add copy the zimage there, replace yes, then reboot in cwm mode and applay apex8.2 update and thats it
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
So, I've been to the Darky's ROM website where the Darkcore kernel lives and breathes and notices that they only have version 2.6 posted......and we're on 2.9? Watsa? You have a dev deal going?

I was just checking to see if there were any recent updates to flash, but it would seem the release site is a bit behind?

Graeat work on the ROM by the way.

*EDIT* and also couldn't find the JVQ edition on the site either........
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i took it from their website :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
Thanks. I. Will use sgs.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Should be, but I wouldn't do it below 50%.

Lol. I can't remember the last time I flashed at or near 100%.

Hell, I've flashed as low as 20%. I don't have too much patience.

You should be ok.

[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
just go ahead and flash then charge it over night then boot into recovery and wipe battery settings
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I like to make sure I have enough battery in case I boot loop it.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I was on Talon and not having any problems that I could tell. Seemed like very little lag and battery was ok. This morning I voted in the poll for Talon.

This evening I decided to try Darkys kernal so I went ahead and flashed it.

I think Darkys has less lag and runs smoother.

I have to say that the cappy with Darkys kernal 'JUST FEELS BETTER'.

Need to see how battery life is going to be.

I beat my phone to hell every day. 200+ emails in touchdown, music most of the day, hour or so of games, 50-100 SMS/mms xda etc. I can pull 20 hrs off this rom I think. 9+ hrs deep with %58 as I type. Running 8.2 with darkys on rfs for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I'm the same, generally 24 hrs on a charge, pretty heavy use, 3 1/2 hrs screen time, 8.2 with darkys on ext4. Only issue I have is with one stupid game, robotek, once in a while it forces me to do a batt pull. Other than that it really is perfection. Only mosaic has had me stick to one rom without flashing for this long. Says a lot watsa.

quick question:

does this rom support the TVout feature?

i just bought the cabel for a few bucks and the output is super distorted. it does come out though... barely.
[Captivate Android Development] lospulpo:
Just wanted to say that changing to RFS got rid of all of my lag. Dont have to reboot to make it snappy anymore.

At&t gb bootloaders

Apex 8.1

Talon kernel newest (0.4.1 i think?)

Thanks for the suggestion to whomever said it a while back.

Using TW4.5 without any of the random reboots i was getting on other gb roms as well. Thanks for all the hardwork guys.
[Captivate Android Development] eccezarathustra:
Just a note re: Talon, his kernels since sucker punch have had a flaw with the kswapd process spiking, taking cycles and draining battery. Has happened to me on every one of his kernels. Creates a lot of lag and battery drain. Just my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] eccezarathustra:
Remember that the video out on our phones is the red cable.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I don't know if it's an app or the kernel or the ROM, but there's definitely some kind of memory leak on my phone. Opening basic programs like gmail or the camera takes 3 minutes and then I get stuck on black screens all the time. When I reboot it gets better. Only new program: Google+ and Audible.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
What ROM and version (hopefully Apex 8.2)?

What kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
First, don't go trashing the kernel dev if your not in his thread.

Second, I've used Talon kernels, as have others, and saw the best battery life I've EVER saw on phone, with it being the quickest its ever been. That's with the release versions and test versions.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Yeah, Apex 8.2 with whatever Talon Kernel comes with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Try one of the other kernels watsa listed in the OP. I've been using Dark Core 2.9 and it seems to be running pretty well so far.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
+1 on that.

This is not the thread & even forum to trash anyone. This is for constructive criticism. If you think there is a problem with a ROM/Kernel inform the developer directly instead of posting it on places where he/she wouldnt even read.
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
I'm pretty sure "kernels since sucker punch have had a flaw with the kswapd process spiking, taking cycles and draining battery. Has happened to me on every one of his kernels. Creates a lot of lag and battery drain." is very constructive criticism. Sure it could have been in the Talon thread, but it's a lot better than "OMFG WTF BBQ TaLonZ kerNel is teh suXxorZ!!"
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
To make it very clear the best place to post it is Talon thread, so that it helps existz in resolving the issues if any. Constructive means working together to solve issues, here 2 people are working in 2 different directions.

Does that make sense?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
To simplify, if I may Watsa,

Apex thread= Apex Rom issue

Talon thread = Talon kernel issue

Apex thread DOES NOT = Talon kernel issue.

Thats brings me to apex 9.0 :confused::confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Don't forget.. this IS the worst ROM ever ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Too busy b&$%(+ about the kernel to remember its the worst rom ever.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I think with so many new members, they aren't fully aware that the DEV doesn't always create the kernel that is in the ROM. There are a number of kernels out there just as there are ROMs. Mix and match to what best suits your needs. I think the main issue is that people need to choose the way they phrase things better when an issue appears. Chances are, it's happened before and someone in the thread will be glad to help.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
So Watsaa didn't create JUST the worst rom ever, but the worst kernel ever?

Ok, back to Apex. Its been 10-15 minutes since we heard from Watsa, so we are up to about Apex 27.8.2, right?
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
Was using the default Talon... was great the first day. Got a bit laggy after that (actually very laggy), but I can't say if it's the kernel or something else causing the lag. Trying out Dark Core provided in OP since I see some love being thrown around for it. Flashed successfully, running smooth so far.

Apex 8.2 is really fast and smooth. But battery drops linearly ~2-3% /h on standby time.

Maybe something wrong with my phone. Flashed it from FireFly 3.0 (FF show battery ~50% last time b4 I came to Recovery Mode to flash Apex) and when Apex booted ok, it showed 16% - OMG !

Let's it standby about 2 hours and I checked it again, this time it showed 28%.

Took battery out and measured volt by VOM, 3.6V

Any idea ?

@watsaa or is it watsa

I decided to flash back to I9000 bootloaders after hearing your side of the discussion for the last few pages. And because I hate the ATT World Phone screen (too damn bright for me). I haven't really noticed any difference, except the button combo's (which I like better). Although I am running Continuum 6.1 I will keep you up to date on anything that may seem loader related.

[Captivate Android Development] Elad92:
Hey, excellent rom. The best and most updated GB rom right now :P

But there's one problem that bothers me.

The light sensor seems to not work :S When I try to test it using the secret code for light sensor test (*#0589#) it just crashes and gives me a FC. The auto brightness seems to be working, but it has only two options, dark or bright that changes frequently without any sense. Does someone also have this problem? Is this fixable?

My second question is how can I change the color of the Voodo color? I tried to look in the recovery mode, but no sign of an option to change it.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Like it a lot. Tried zsjpg, kc1, tdvjp9, tubjv6, jvk, jve, js1, and jvq (that I can remember) and I still keep coming back to jq1. Great data transfer, good call clarity, decent gps considering gb. It was worth doing the dance to make sure out holds 850mhz.

I may have to try it then. I suck at that damn dance though, lol
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
In my personal experience, do NOT try the ATT bootloaders if you are running a i9000 ROM. The ATT bootloader and i9000 BL don't play nice at all. I took my phone down to ALL ATT STOCK...for testing purposes for other things. BIG MISTAKE. To get there, from 2.3.4 i9000 you need an ODIN 3-4 file flash including a damn .pit flash. Then on the way there are bricks. Then coming back to i9000 bootloaders the ATT bootloader did not want to let go......a lot of bricks later I got back to apex. Unless, you have a heart surgeon ready to out you heart back from your mouth, it is not worth it. It is simple that 2.3.3 ATT and 2.3.4 i9000 are different beasts !!!!!!!

For soft unbricking I used AdamOutler's one click solution.....here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153310

For this youhave to COMPLETELY disable user access control in Windows 7 for it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Hm... Ugly indeed.

I never plan to go back to ATT bootloaders because I don't like the white screen :P but yes, if it becomes necessary for sonm reason, I don't want the heart thing to happen to me (too much already) lol

I'm running 8.2 with Talon and I9000. Have had 2 wifi reboots with the 8.x builds. I'm not sure about the first one, but I know that gmail was syncing when the second occurred.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I was referring to a reboot when you toggle wifi on/off.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Is mattedblues still causing a battery drain? I know the first 8.x version was, but I cleared my battery stats and reinstalled 8.2 with a wipe...I've found that installing updates never turns out like it should lol, always have some issue, wipe installs are much nicer and take an extra 5 minutes...

No charging bug here for me, no reboots, it's been 24 hours.

Can't comment on battery life yet, my first discharge was 100 to 25 in 4 hours or so, but today I have had wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps on for 4 hours and am at 77%, so its looking promising so far. 3 Discharges is what I get before judging though haha.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Have you been using GPS or is it just on?
[Captivate Android Development] egypt3:
I know. I've only had it happen twice, just noticed that the most recent time it occurred, I toggled sync on about five seconds before toggling wifi on. Not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or is relevant at all, but I normally haven't gotten reboots from just toggling wifi on or off, so yeah, just my experience.

P.S Read the edit in that threads OP before you hate.
[Captivate Android Development] eccezarathustra:
First of all its not trashing to mention a known bug. It has been mentioned several times on his threads going back to SuckerPunch and while I had hoped it would be fixed by now it obviously hasn't.

If developers are incapable of hearing honest criticism of their work they need to get out of this game.

Releasing a kernerl that causes my system to run on "conservative" at 100% all the time because it's kswapd process is eating 30% is a bug in my opinion. It is relevant here because Watsaa has chosen to use this particular kernel, (that has given me and many others issues) in his ROM.

If your phone is feeling laggy, run OSMonitor and see what is causing the lag. For me when i did it (on Apex 8.2) it was once again kwapd.

Don't shoot the messenger.
[Captivate Android Development] eccezarathustra:
Does Apex use Talon by default? YES

Does Watsaa deserve to know what HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED TO EXISTZ many many times regarding what he is putting in his ROM? YES

Is it releveant HERE then? YES.

Very simple.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I'll be eager to see what you find. I've been running the ATT bootloaders for awhile and so far no issues at all...so far.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
FWIW

I just spend the last 21 minutes watching OS monitor and my phone go from %87 battery to completely dead on Apex 8.2/Darky Core 2.9

What was the culprit? kwapd

Was it at %30 ? Nope.. it was at %83

Kind of ironic you should post that at the same time I watched it happen twice, almost 3 times as bad on a completely different kernel.

What does that mean? Not really sure, but at least we know it isn't related to a single kernel at this point. Could be be a gingerbug like the charging bug? Something to keep an eye on...
