Rainbow / distorted color screen

I'm getting a rainbow screen with distorted colors when switching screens, I've tried searching but not sure what phrases would gibe me results. This doesn't happen all the time, any ideas? I came from stock straight to version 9.0, noticed it on 8 too, in fact it was doing it so bad I couldn't use Recovery and had to use 1-click odin to get back to stock.

This is what I get when trying to go to recovery. Never posted a pic before, so this is big!

Guys i have a cuestion,

Before i running this rom i was running the GB stock with this rom my signal was normal but when i running Apex now my signal always is in Roaming.

If theres a way to fix that ?

regards
[Captivate Android Development] talleywhacker:
have you tried a different modem?
[Captivate Android Development] Crash:
well im not to good on tjis things im new heheh could you please help me chose one that works in my country

regards :D
[Captivate Android Development] talleywhacker:
modems work differently depending on location. what might work for some wont work as well for others due to the area they live in. at least that's what I've found. someone might be able to offer better advice but the only thing I know to tell you is try and ask someone closer to you what is working for them. or try different modems til you find one on your own. sorry, I know that's a pretty vague answer. Also, you want to make sure you use the appropriate modem with the kernel you're using. Ex: I9000 modem with I9000 kernel or captivate modem with captivate kernel. learned this the hard way. don't mix and match.
[Captivate Android Development] Crash:
thanks man that really works for me i will try
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
what do u mean by u comin from stock..u came directly from stock froyo or stock eclair or stock gb...if u were comin from eclair and froyo..then its more likely that ur gb bootloaders r messing up or u didnt install it at all..

try installin gb bootloaders from the apex site..u will get a apex flasher folder..

it will depend on u and ur location..so u will hav to test and try...download 3-4 diff regular modems..and put them all in ur phone's sd card..and just flash them one by one using cwm...by going into recovery mode...and stick to the one ur phone likes..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@JacenSolo2001 did you flash GB bootloaders? It seems you have not
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
sorry guys for being away from the thread for a day but I have some problems with my router at home. Will respond to PMs now :)
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Delete post.
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
That appears to be what the issue was, thanks for your help!

I'm get the Captivate back up & running for a few weeks until SGS 2 finally comes out, and fought with it all night :)
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
we were taking care in ur absence....;)

i was just wondering that how come watsa is still sleepin..thought u had a rough wonderful night :p

do u need some help with the home router ?? :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
default home screen is changable. You need to edit default.prop in system/ folder
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
You're thinking of TW "4.5", a modded version which is in the I9000 apps forum. Although it's come a long way it's not especially stable yet especially on Captivate, which is presumably why the stock-ish TW4 is included with Apex instead.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am using TW4 since last 2 months without any real issues
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Your a lucky man my friend. I remember the very FIRST time i tried tw4 it froze on placing a widget. Then it froze again. Then i tried tw4.5. It seemed better but it would freeze during browsing and clearing memory....i blamed it on continuum until i realized it was tw4. Switched to go launcher and not had ONE freeze,reboot etc yet.

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] abenn26:
Any way you can describe how you fixed the browser Watsa? I'm interested to know. :)

Also, if anyone has settings they are really proud of with voodoo color please share, I'm not convinced the ones that I am running are the best.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
same here..pls someone put their setting of voodoo colour..which is treating them well...

and moreover..i just gave talon more than a day for the first time..

its 29 hour almost after full charge..with 2 hour 15 mins call time..i hour 56 mins display time...wifi on for 19 hours...didnt use mobile network...and rest stays teh same..+ i think i did reboot my phone around 10-15 times for testing purpose...

and now its at 5%..

so its not bad either minus the bright display :(...i mean i was always on dc...and liked the batt backup there also...

adding the images..

images now showing 10 % coz now its plugged it for last 15 mins..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
well credit goes to ideaTime from sgs 2 forums for finding out what was wrong with deodexing process. Based on his investigation there need to be some changes in framework.jar

Also I think smali/baksmali have been updated so this shouldnt be a problem for any ROM going forward
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
cant wait for 9.2! exists is really getting things done! im on .20 no oc and its blazing fast for me and the charge bug is all but gone. apex and talon is a great combo. jw watsa what kernal are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
TW4 picked up a bad rep when GB ROMs/Kernels and the TW4 ports were still very immature. The "wasn't designed for SGS1 hardware" argument doesn't make much sense to me: neither was any other launcher, or most of the SGSII stuff that's been ported without incident. Hell, JVR wasn't designed for Captivate either in the first place...

People also tend to confuse stock deodexed TW4 with the significantly modified and inappropriately named "TW4.5" that has had a few pretty unstable releases. They're not the same thing, and even TW4.5 is a lot more stable than it used to be.

The issues I've been having even occur on the AOSP launcher; I doubt TW4 is to blame.
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
After having a completely reliable experience with different 2.2 ROMs, I decided to finally bite the bullet and try out 2.3. I installed Apex 9.1 with the Darkcore kernal and after a few hours of running, the lag was too much. I read back through this thread and found people with Apex 8.x were having luck disabling lagfix, so I tried that. Still lagging after several hours, I was about ready to try another ROM when I noticed that even the dev of this ROM uses Talon.

So, last night I flashed the most recent stable version of the Talon kernal and everything is running smooth even though my phone has been on for 16 hours. I still have the Voodoo lagfix disabled. Should I go back to ext4 just for the heck of it and give it a shot?
[Captivate Android Development] abenn26:
Ill go over and check. That's a pretty exciting find. I like the stock browser a lot so it is nice that I can use it properly.

Another thing, there is a 2-finger gesture on the gsII that allows for zooming by tilting the device. I wonder if that could be ported to our captivates. I don't know much about this feature but I hear it's a tw4 thing. Anyone have info on this?
[Captivate Android Development] Crash:
My rom manager premiun detects a new versio 4.0 somthing could we flash ?

Im on DC kernel
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Is anyone else getting random freezes followed sometimes by a reboot in 9.1? I updated to MIUI as instructed but I'm still getting reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Im not experiencing terrible battery life but the Android System takes up roughly 18% at all times. OS around 6%, should I consider the Talon kernel or stay with DarkCore 3.0. I need something that will be stable!

Also I'm not very familiar with the MIUI lock screen but the way it has icons for phone & messages I figured you could access a missed call or message from the lock screen. Much like the epic, puzzle, and honeycomb. No?

Edit: Duh, if you long hold and swipe open with the icon it will open to there!!
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
The battery not showing 100% is not a bug if you do a search you will find many discussions about it - your phones battery will technically never charge to 100% I could be mis-quoting but it will actually drop below as a fail safe so the phone/battery will not explode

check out this link it also applies to captivate :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920392

another interesting read :http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/12/14/your-battery-gauge-is-lying-to-you-everything-you-need-to-know-about-bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
You are using the AIO program to flash Apex aren't you?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
I know for sure I was getting them if I didn't update the miui lockscreen properly. In fact it eventually trashed my /data partition and I got stuck in a bootloop. I have figured out that this HAS to be done now. I have had 12 hours without a reset. crossing my fingers.

edit: Why would such a dangerous mod be allowed in here?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Talon all the way .20

btw where is tyler' rom? :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Perhaps it is one of the weather related live wallpapers I am using.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
As far as kernels go, Talon is way to go with this ROM if you're wanting to change. It's on ver 4.4.20 last I heard. If you want ultra stable (tho .20 is real close) you can either go with the 4.3 in the OP of Talon's thread or wait just a little bit, cause it sounds like they're about to release the 4.4 RC1 version. You're choice, all are good! ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
if you want I can tell you the changes in framework.jar. They are actually in surfaceview.smali
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
And how is this Kernel better or worse than DarkCore 3.0? (Which your sig says you're using too.)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
That wallpaper cannot give you random reboots. it has to be something else, may be some app that you restored and it is isnt happy?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
I used Talon kernel when I was on DlevRom 4.2, and so have been following the threads. I had some issues with PDiddy theme, and switched to Apex Rom 9.1, which as you know comes with Darkcore 3.0. I'm in the process of reinstalling PD's theme once I get the bugs ironed out will be switching back to Talon kernel. Talon a little more cutting edge, if you will. DC is solid, tried and true. Both good, I haven't had any issues with DC and really not many of the problems with Talon 4.4.x that some have talked about.

Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Ok and Talon does not support voodoo lagfix? Do I need to disable before I install it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Talon supports lagfix, no need to disable it. It supports voodoo color/sound and a ton of other features
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
weird thing happened, flashed latest talon and apps disappeared, re-booted most came back but beautiful widgets fc and app zorter life, carhome, and desk home apps are all grayed out in app drawer and stopped working if i click on grayed out apps tw launcher stopper working message appears, btw on tw4

EDIT: Got it working, don't know what happened but all is good
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
Really want to start on one. Thinking of tylers rom on sgs2 when it lands in the us. Plus you guys are doing such a great job theres just no way i could work up to it. Apex and dlev all the way!
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Installed Talon. Wasnt sure which version to use, I went with TalonDEV 0.4.3 340MB Non-OC. (wasnt really sure which one to choose, this one is stable and apparently the other that is higher MB breaks 720p recording?)

But man the screen sure looks yellow now!
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Might check to make sure, but I think you do have to disable lagfix. Talon's already got it built in. Tho don't quote me on that. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Download voodoo control app from market and set color to your liking.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Anyone...?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
You will probably get better answers asking in Talon thread.., you can search the thread as theres been a little talk about this before, and a couple links posted to settings..But remember, not every screen is the same.., so settings that might work great for some, might not work good for others..(this is why on regular SGS framebuffer some users had yellow tint, others had blue tint).., so you might have to adjust it to your display
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Come on don't leave it half done
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Well, I didn't restore any apps, and just installed everything fresh. I don't use a ton of apps so it's just easier than using titanium.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
I dont know but this seems weird. Screen always has the biggers % of usage. But now i have voice calls as a second with 16% with 20 minutes in calls.. Is that normal?

My batteru last only 8 hours only
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you would have to tell more than that.

1. Whats the display time out of 8 hours?

2. Did you see what process/app ate your battery?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
just was messing around ....

and wanted to change the color of sms page in apex..without flashing a theme...which i could finally do now..

so just wanted to share..

and now i can choose to have any color for sent n receive sms..

screenshot attached,,,
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
yea that's the ticket. probably the problem too. I have a intel 6 core phone;) is that an issue?
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
just had another reboot. Really need to figure out what is going on.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
are u having these reboots while u r tryin to unlock the screen??

as in ur previous post u already mentioned that u followed the instruction abt miui lockscreen...but just to make sure...r u using miui lockscreen or another???

and as far as i remember..u had hard bricked ur phone..may i know what did u do to get the life back to cappy..warranty or jtag??
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Warranty replaced the PBA, whatever that is. I think they also did something to the power port, because it is now much less flimsy feeling.

The reboots seem to be completely random, usually when I am doing something. I've been in the app store a couple times when it has frozen (though the buttons still light up when touched) and then eventually reboots.

I have MIUI unlock selected from Device Customization > Lock screen customization > Lock screen.

I am also using a pattern password to unlock, if that makes a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Have you tried the .20 Talon kernel? There are truly decent battery differences between DC 3 and Talon .20
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
After 6hrs 48 min on battery (19% battery left)

Display: 47% (1h 46 min use)

Voice calls: 12% ( 20 min)

Android system : 8%

Music : 7%

What do you think?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Anyways watsa i remember you had your lagfix disable before how did it go? im still on ext4 do you think rfs would be better? and also is there any way for us to use jkay app I tried it it says theme some needs to be install i just want the thing to disable some of the power menu makes it look neat.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
thats bad for sure....no doubt...

but did u recently install any new apps...coz it happened to me..once i installed one battery widget and one more app..i dont remember..and my battery was draining very fast...later i just uninstalled both..dunno which one was the cause..and then wiped cache and everything was normal again..

and the weird thing was..that it wasnt even showin as the battery hogger in the system

Edit : i remember the other app..it was tweaked version of BLN..for led notification....
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
Cool cool. Ill pm you when i get home and get started.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
hmmm...even if u using pattern password to unlock..it shdnt create a prob like reboot...

but i dont see any other reason for random reboot..coz u not even restorin data using tibu...

well so why dont u start the procedure again..i mean flash the 9.1 again clean..after a master resest...and formatting ur internal sd...

i know its a real pain in the wrong place..just for a reboot..but u can give it a try..as first u installed apex without the bootloader..then u installed bootloader after flashin the apex..so may be..

i m just assuming and tryin to help...
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
I flashed the bootloader prior to flashing apex. Disregard anything regarding my attempts to get 8.x of Apex to work. I went from stock 2.2 and essentially a brand new phone to new bootloader, darkcore, and 9.1.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Great! It's not bad enough that I have to choose between two really great Roms, Apex and Dlev, now we're going to throw another potentially great rom in the mix???!!? What's next? :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
thats why i m suggesting..once to start the same process again...

a clean start again..from jf6..which is actually stock eclair...which is the most trusted way before flashing any rom...

i recently had to go for a clean install..as i flashed few roms....on top of each other....rest is upto u....if u want i can give u the link of going to stock eclair..and the instruction if u willing to try again..
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
9.1 is a clean install. It is not on top of any other modded roms.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
ahhhh!!!!!

i know..i read all ur post carefully..but if this rom is treating all of us well...and just u r getting random reboots..

so there must hav been something wrong with ur flashing or download..thats what was suggested to many other users in previous posts..to download all teh file again and repeat the whole process..so u know this time nothing went wrong....if u go back pages then u will find...thats why i suggested...and if u can live with these reboots then ...

never mind.. :)

over n out....

I removed the lock screen wallpaper, deleted the unlock with wifi app even though i wasn't using it, and so far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
I haven't installed anything new. Just in case i will uninstall a few. I know i freeze maps but when i open makert it shows there is an update..

I think i need to calibreate again and clear cache and battery stats
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Guys what's your opinion on the speed of this rom? Does anyone notice lags here and there?

Also battery is amazing on this rom! 29hrs and 19% of the battery holy cow.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Use aosp launcher and u will get a superfast rom. Tw4 is a bit slow than aosp or sony launcher but is not unbearably slow

Anyone who's been pushed the new market having issues searching for apps? If I input a basic search term like "launcher" I get no results. In fact I haven't had search turn up any apps at all.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
hav u already flashed and runnin this rom for 30 hours??? or u just considering this rom..and taking opinion???

Just my opinion. The new market is WACK. Reverted. Lol

does Anybody have tried to use this rom with runkeeper? I takes forever to load the workouts on facebook or load old workouts Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
I have had this Rom for approximatley 5 days now. I like it a lot but there are just a bit of lags here and there. I notice if something hasnt been opened the first time there is always a lag. It seems different from the rom i used "Serendipity" but i got rid of serendipity because of 1 issue on that rom. But this Rom almost seems perfect and I like how it keeps to the samsung look. only issue i had was the little bit of lag and the fact that the samsung launcher looks like samsung galaxy s II but the applications icon on the home page is actually not the same one LOL "look at gr-12" perfect icons. But it's only something minor. Someone mentioned trying a different launcher. Will that really get rid of the spikes of lag here and there?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep that someone is dumb dev of this rom. That is sgs 2 launcher with sgs 1 app icon because the only thing i dont like about tw4 is that icon. Sorry for not being perfect for you. And spikes of lag that you are talking about may be due to 1000 different reasons. One of them is ur backup restoration messing up some apps. Have u tried other launchers on offer in apex? Have u tried before restoring anything?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is one already in apex. See app "home"
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
watsa,

so we can or can not use UOT for custom mods with 9.1 MattedBlues? Just trying to change out the status bar icons, change overglow color, the busy circle, battery icon and possibly the highlight color for normal menu and pop-up menu. i think that about cover what i would pull from UOT with the current system/farmework inside my 9.1 set-up. are those do-able? be leery? dont do those but i can do these? which ones if so? lol. inquiring minds want to know.

btw, i am going on day three with such minor issues that i am about to call 100% on my Cappy. Testing out performance with Talon 4.4.20, ondemandX is solid but it seems to introduced lag a bit but gives exceptional batt life considering the demand i put on my Cappy today. But APEX9.1 has shown to be solid with DC3.0 and Talon 4.4.20, considering. just an fyi on ya bro, since i caught you over in existz thread, lol. is the kernel the only thing holding back 9.2 now? will it be a wipe or update?
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
If i flash the new matted blues will i still have the 5 bar signal icon?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
My internet connection is messed up at home. This is holding back 9.2. Yea buddy you should be to use uot kitchen. 9.2 will be a non wipe
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I think no because froli likes 4 bars
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Woah lol im surprised that the Dev responds to messages. That's pretty awesome :D. And actually im new to the rom so I did a fresh install and a fresh install of all my apps from the market. No backup, i hear using a backup slows things down apparently? And sorry didnt mean to offend you about the icon. I was just a little picky on that.
