Sorry to hear that. Maybe go get the infuse and let them know before the 30 days that is not for you. Then if rumors are correct we WILL have the SGS2 WITHIN this month and you could trade for it. That way you don't need to be a sheep Herder lol

Just came back from a 3 week long vacation myself and wouldn't you know it a new version of apex is out :) . Hopefully this time it won't start bogging up and lagging on me like 8.2 did. I really like the new improvements such as the 5 signal bars and transparent notification drop down menu. First test run today and everything is as smooth as silk, I really hope it stays that way. Great work once again watsa!

yeah... the problem is that android phones are very expensive and unusual in here, and I don't make my own money yet (student still:o), so I'll probably have to wait till december vacation to make a little profit of my own and then buy something till next year :( with insurance (!!!)

P.D. some food got stolen too...:D

Great ROM watsa!

FYI, I noticed that a few links in the mod sections on your website still try and link back to the old website.

Other than that, great job!

new TW Launcher 4.5

i still not sure about flashing a new theme like mattedblues.. i heard many people are having some issues..

i like the look of that theme but.. still thinking ..

Btw, is the new TW Launcher 4.5 from here will come to the new update for Apex 8.3?

i want to install it but seams too complicated ...for me :)

here is my beautiful capy with stock tw launcher..
[Captivate Android Development] T0N3Z:
didnt work. tried everything!!!! any one? any help?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Issues?? Kinda sad that I haven't heard about them... Seriously, there can't be any issue, my theme is 99% stock Apex apks with modified images.

Well, issues specific to my theme (and not the rom, and not from a particular app) are possible (but even then, only caused by inattention, because I test everything before releasing), but I would have noticed it myself since my phone is running MattedBlues 100% of the time.

Edit: Can you tell me at least one issue present in MattedBlues that is not present in stock Apex?
[Captivate Android Development] rapsucks10:
Any news of the Blue Mod updated to 8.3???
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
i am not saying your theme has problems but like every phone is different, some can react different that others .. like roms .. some people say 8.3 is perfect, some people have wifi reboots or contacts problems .. i am just saying probably my captivate will like your theme, or maybe not, ..

your work is great froli13.. dont miss understand me
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Give me some time, if everything goes it will be up in a couple of minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I understand what you mean, but if your phone like Apex rom, there's no reasons why your phone wouldn't like a theme made for this rom because the code is the same. Only images inside some apks has changed. Everything else is the same. As far as I know, different images color can't break an operating system.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
i can always come back to the them stock right? . just in case.. also if i flash a theme and a new update like apex 8.3.1 or new rom (apex 8.4) do i have to revert to stock theme before flash a new rom?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I am building the revert, but once it is done, yes, you will be able to go back to stock theme.

You don't have to revert to stock theme before updating rom, but I would suggest to, depending on what is updated. Because you could end up with some part of stock Apex theme, and other parts of MattedBlues theme. (Unless it is a wipe update).

But when watsa updates the rom I usualy update the theme at the same time when it's needed.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Think you could add the Honeycomb text to the settings and TSM apk for the mod?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:

How do we enable the custom message under device customization? Just added a custom message an i even reboot my phone but cant still to make custom message to show.
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Recently went to Apex 8.3 with TalonDev's current 4.3 kernel and had a reboot issue. Looks like there's a problem with the proximity sensor and phone calls. Took a phone call, screen stayed black, kept trying to turn the screen on and within 4-5 seconds it just rebooted.

I know some 2.3.X ROMs had issues with proximity sensor and looks like this combo may have it as well.

Also, when it rebooted the battery said i had 2% even though it was at 28% before the reboot. I had performed a battery stats wipe after it was at 100%... Blah

P.S The modded browser is jacked up. The URL bar disappears at times, there's no way to close 1 window (if there is only 1 window only) unless you open a 2nd window, and the pinch to zoom i know is a known issue but it was so bad it wouldn't work at all and I couldn't touch anything on the screen
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
0.4.3 has a known issue with rebooting during phone calls, usually at low battery. Use the 0.4.4.6 test build posted in Talon OP, this fixes that issue

An official 0.4.4 release should be done soon...even though its labeled a test, it is stable
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have added that
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Issue no 1. as kind existz said is a known kernel issue

Issue no 2. is a known JVQ issue
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
I seem to be stuck in a boot loop at the blue and purple S that alternates with silver, and says Galaxy S at the bottom. I installed the Apex Flasher kernel and bootloader from the site, and saw the Talon splash screen prior to booting into recovery to install the rom itself.

Any suggestions? Your help is appreciated. I can't be without a phone for long periods of time.

I can still access CWM without any problem.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Place ROM on SD card --> Install bootloaders --> Install Kernel --> Reboot into recovery and flash Apex.

In this process before flashing ROM if you try to reboot you will get bootloops
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
^^ That is what I was doing. I think the problem is that Apex was installing Darky's Kernel. Not 100% sure though. Right now I'm downloading the Apex JVR and going to stick it on the sd card through the recovery usb mount and see if I am able to flash it. I just tried with Symply again since it was already downloaded and it seems to be stuck at the same loop.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
OK i read your post on AIO thread, seems like you havent flashed bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Apparently the CWM on the AIO application is too old to flash some of the newer Roms.

I put CWM 3028.1.2internal.zip on the phone before I found AIO so that is most likely why Apex worked the first time and then screwed up.

This is my first Android phone. After getting an Android tablet, I simply had to get away from the Jailbroken iphones. I've only flashed my Gtab in the past. I saw the AIO program and thought it was a quick flash app that I guess would be more well developed, since Android phones are farther in their life cycle than tablets.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I already flashed the 7-12 version of matted blues over 8.3. Works just fine, but I'd like to get the newer features of the latest MB release. Can I just flash the current theme over top, or do I need to use a revert package?
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Well I tried to Flash to Stock using AIO as I've done a few times already tonight, and now I can't get the phone to do anything. I think it's bricked. I'm about to be in tears.

You can flash the latest MattedBlues on top of it, but you will have to rip TSMParts.apk from stock Apex 8.3 and push it to /system/app/ using Root Explorer or whatever you want. (Or place the apk inside /system/app/ folder of the theme zip)

For some reasons I can't remember, I included this apk in the theme but I shouldn't...

Hey i just flashed the new matteblues theme. Really looks good.. And feels different.. Like a new phone.. Thanks..

Do i have to insert or put another apk into the system?.. Or i am just fine..

[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Talon/Snail are completely different kernels than Darkcore. Darkcore is basically a stock kernel with voodoo initramfs (initramfs is not part of the actual kernel)... talon/snail has tons of fixes from upstream Linux/AOSP. You really cannot compare the 2, total different kernel bases. But as far as talon vs snail, snail is built off the latest talon test branch, which includes new features/fixes that will be in the next upcoming talon..plus it includes alot more various fixes/features from Zach that are not in talon...he uses different toolchains to compile the kernel, some experimental fixes/features that might get brought in to talon..etc.. So using snail kernel actually helps development for talon.. if Zach is happy with the results in snail, then he adds those changes to mainline talon. But just look at the changelog/features of the kernel and if its something you like/want/need, then use that kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mttfrog13:
If you are having problems you might want to check out the user "mobiletechvideos" video guides on youtube. You might have only soft bricked your phone. Make sure to check out his video on how to install gingerbread roms. If you're flashing to stock, I'm assuming you mean 2.1, and then trying to flash apex with aio, then that will cause problems. Follow the mobiletechvideo guide for gingerbread roms next time and do it manually.

what do you guys use to sync music between your computer and phone? doubletwist? I'm on a mac but I duel boot windows so any platform is ok! Airsync looks nice...

Anyway to sync files?
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Sorry. it was 9am and I had to sleep.

I was trying to use the AIo to revert back to stock from The Apex Flasher kernel and bootloger that was installedand it appeared to work, but when ti reboot the phone it now does nothing. Every 3 button combo there is does nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
so u mean to say ..??there is no light on the phone...nothing at on...and i m not talking just abt button combos..

what happens when u try to turn the phone on?
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
It doesn't power on at all?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you have flashed I9000 bootloaders from apex flasher, the button combos will change to Volume up + Power & Volume down + Power. DO NOT TRY TO APPLY 3 BUTTON FIX over them, if you have not done that already
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
AIO is FROYO based only! It can not be used for flashing back to 2.2. You can only use ODIN. AIO will most likely brick your phone if you use it.

[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Cool, worked alright before but now I have the proper TSM parts.

Weird thing though, I had flashed HC lockscreen before flashing the pre-8.3 matted blues. Now HC lock does not show up in TSMparts, but it does under settings->display.

Hello, I have been using this ROM 8.3 since it was released and have a question. At first I used the Talon Kernel then tried the Darkcore Kernel and went back to Talon and now most of the time I change something in recovery it goes back to that Darkcore Kernel. I tried using Odin and zimage back to Talon and it stays but sometimes goes back. How do I get rid of the darkcore? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Okay, now I remember why I included TSMparts.apk in theme zip lol...

It says Puzzle lockscreen, but it is still Honeycomb lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Hmm...good point & I hadn't thought of that. I've heard good things about DoubleTwist and its AirSync feature, but it costs a few bucks
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
No it's not, you want an invite?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I am running Talon 4.4.6 and I have been in and out of recovery several times with no loss of kernel. It is *possible* that a factory reset would but Darkcore back in (but I do not think so), else ways, the only way that it can keep coming back is if you are loading from recovery.

I thought kernels flash over the last one....
[Captivate Android Development] sggrant323:
Well, I think this is the point that I am at. is this JIG solvable or am at JTAG only at this point?

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
That's like impossible :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+1, totally agree. sounds like a bad flash a couple of times over. possibly a mounting issue if anything, but Talon should mount on its own.

my suggestion would be to get in recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, staying in recovery the whole time. install zip from sd, choose Talon and choose Talon once again. after that Talon should take over completely.

if that does not work, maybe try the same steps, but after clearing of cache and dalvik, mount data and *edit*mount system*edit*. very seldom have i had to do this and never with a kernel flash in cwm.

good luck to you and if this helps, pass a kudo/tnx to me.
[Captivate Android Development] bpderby:
@sgggrant323

I did something similar and couldn't get my phone on. I used the jig and still nothing. Then by "accident" I pulled the battery and put it back in with the jig in and phone went into download mode. Sometimes we forget to do the obvious.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
So I just flashed 8.3 to check it out and my browser is not loading any webpage. I even downloaded dolphin and opera and no luck. Tried different kernels and modems...nothing.

I flashed serendipity 7 and dlev and they both work.

Any suggestions.

ps I've cleared dalvik and caches repeatedly...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Sorry saw ur PM now, thats the strangest error I have ever seen. Try pusing browser.apk from Dlev' rom and see if that makes a difference?
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
No worries buddy. I wanted to see if the problem can be repeated on Darky's 10.2 and the browser works there too...

Can you maybe PM me (or here) simple instructions on how to do this? I have root explorer but i don't know what you mean by pushing?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I mean take browser.apk out of one of the rom' system/app folder and using root explorer add it to system/app folder on ur phone. I have a feeling that this may not fix anything but lets try
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Nada.

Any other ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] StrykerGT:
First of all thanks watsa for this rom you give a better live to my Captivate. I have a question and sorry if you answer this already but when I move from 8.2 to 8.3 the LG Optimus messaging widget went missing. Did I do something wrong? Thanks for your help. :)
[Captivate Android Development] shyfilipinoguy88:
hey watsa - loving the 8.3 update, just one question. how come you went with darkcore 2.9 instead of the latest 2.9.3?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
You can also try the following thing, insert the USB cable in PC's USB port while having Odin open. Then press the volume low button (low+up buttons if you are on Froyo/Eclair bootloaders) and insert the usb cable into phone. This also put the phone into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
