[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There should be PowerOn.wav.bak file in system/etc in the ROM zip, if not try this. Rename it to PowerOn.wav
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
this file is already there in system/etc folder...and i can play it as well there by music player..still no sound...on the startup..
[Captivate Android Development] BaDaB!ng505:

Honeycomb theme port for Apex posted in themes section. Still has mislabeled lockscreens until I can get some time to fix them.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thank you viv
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
np buddy. If you try it out let me know if the market is themed. I can theme it if the version has updated.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I will try it out and maybe fix the issue with lockscreens and send u the updated settings.apk but dont know when :D

I m odining back to JF6 as we speak to test some new stuff.

EDIT: Added your port to the OP
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:

[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Have you tried using SGS tools to enable the startup sound?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
no i didnt try that...

i guess i shd download sgs tool and try that once..

hope it wont mess up anything..
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
It has been a while since I loaded ApeX but I thought SGS Tools was one of the apps with the ROM

It will not mess it up. It will only change what you tell it to....but if you tell it to mess things up..... :)
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
tried sgs tool..didnt work...

still no sound on startup....
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
dear froli..

i got the date widget..

its bobclock....

Necessity is the Mother of all Inventions.... :P
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Just realized that ApeX 5.3 has been video reviewed by you know who.. cant post link here but those care might already know what to do :D

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
sorry, let me find out the problem with startup sound

ApeX 6

Looking forward to ApeX 6! The GB kernel is maturing each day.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yes all the GB roms for cappy are actually due to XCal's kernel... waiting for hardcore's kernel now
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
So I am already on Continnum 5...means I have already flashed JVB bootloader...i just have to flash your zip for Apex 6?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes sir....
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Will they BlackOut theme work on any JS8 ROM? (Continuum4)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not sure since it doesnt include all the FW files. Maybe you can create a revert.zip and then give it a shot?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I apologize if im repeating a question that might have already been in the first post. Say I flash this and everything goes to plan. If I want to go back to stock im going to have to use "Designgears" odin one click?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes thats correct buddy
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Alright good lol, another question(last one I promise :D) For the other GB roms that are going to be coming out, are we always going to have to mess with the bootloaders to flash them?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
not sure if going back to stock before every GB ROM flash is a good idea now.. I wud think flashing bootloader once and then never going back to JF6 should be the way to move on..

but its too early to say how switching between the ROMs may affect
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
so i have 1008 build...if i use One click odin..I will loose my 3 button fix...is there any other Odin package..which can take me to stock with my 3 button combo intact..and no bricking?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
if u r on cezar's awesomeness already i dont think u need to go back to stock, with a standard disclaimar though :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Look into using the AIO Tool. I've never used it, but I've read and heard some good things about it.

[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Just flashed BlackOut theme on Continuum4 and everything looks great! A few apps that I had previously deleted were brought back. (Voltage Control, GTalk, MyFiles) Not a big deal at all, but I do have the problem of a non-working Swype. Says it's not built for my phone or something along those lines. Anyone have a link to a black and white themed Swype I can try out?
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
Use the full version of Odin that comes with the Continuum download, and a firmware from samfirmware.com, to go back to stock 2.1. You will still have 3 button.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Does ur phone show GT-I9000 in settings? If that can be changed to I897 then swype would start working for u? else you can try swype themes from I9000 land.

To update phone model you just need to reflash build.prop from cezars rom and update the model no in it.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
Try editing the model number in the build.prop to make it work.
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
How do I reflash just the build.prop?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
send me ur build.prop.. i will give u a CWM flashable package
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
just edit it with root explorer. simple.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
Take your old one from the original rom. Using a file explorer, with root capabilities, drop it into your system folder and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
oh yea.. got too much into flashing lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Just to make sure I have this right... Take the build.prop from Continuum zip and drop it in system then reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
I am at my family's for the weekend but I can't wait to try your gb Tom dude. It looks like I will have to do another some for y'all to and just a little hint I am in the middle of fixing a the. 9 pngs and a few new tricks are up my sleeve
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Had a bad experience with modifying build.prop while phone running.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Anyone able to tell about battery life for 6.0?

By the way, someone knows if existz working on a GB kernel?

(Sorry for double post...)
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
That should work.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
@Watsaa, gonna wait for more kernel development before I dive into GB ROMs, but good to know you've got your feet in the water now!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
My opinion too, but I'll give it a try and maybe it will make me stay on GB :P

I will miss EXT4 and UV though. But I guess it's a matter of time before hardcore and existz release something ;)
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
just flashed 2.3.3

and its so damn fast!

everything is real smooth
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thank you buddy
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
hey watsaa just wanted to say im really liking that blue you used on your rom
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
And here I thought Watsaa hated blue. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
just an update, if you guys want a fast browser with super smooth scrolling and smoothest pinch to zoom on any android, u guys gotta try this rom.

I hate comparing phones but, its just as smooth as an iPhone
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
great work , voted 5 stars I hat to see ppl coming in and down rate your work ... again ..
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
May I suggest hosting your ROM on Mediafire, Dropbox or Android-Roms.info? I'm sick of waiting and I am sick of the throttling.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
There's a direct download link in multiupload.
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
dose this have gingerbread like in the settings it says 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Not sure of what your asking, but ApeX 6.0 is based of Android 2.3.3 JVB so yes, it is Gingerbread...
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
This rom almost gave me a HEART ATTACK TWICE :mad: why dose the screen wig out when the att logo went away it scared me :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Warning to anyone who flashes Blackout theme over Continuum4. You will have a messed up extended power menu. Not a big deal, just some icons missing and some switched. Other than that, everything works great! (other than Swype)
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Let me get this straight flash back to 2.1, then root, then load CWM and then install Apex 6.0 from CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Read the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Pull the swype apk and lib files from a GB ROM that has it working and see if that does the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Continuum v4 is based on 2.2.1 JS8 just like ApeX 5.x
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
ApeX has model number as SAMSUNG SGH-I897, while i think Continuum is GT-I9000

This is the reason that swype from ApeX wont work on Continuum till the model number is updated using build.prop
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Woops! So focused on reading GB topics, I got a bit confused. Not hard to do in my case.:D
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
I know me too.:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Any chance we can get a totally classic GB launcher with the classic silver notification bar and the original green battery. Just a thought.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You are talking about froyo now...

Froyo= white/silver notification bar, green horizontal battery

Gingerbread= black notification bar, green vertical battery
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
So should I just change build.prop to i897? If so, how would I do this?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Yes it would solve your problem. Simply edit build.prop on your phone with root explorer. Or do it on your computer and put it in a flashable zip or push it to your phone while in recovery.

Change every "GT-I9000" to "SGH-i897"
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
This one

http://www.flickr.com/photos/avlxyz/5496264027/

The classic notification bar from the google phones.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Like I said. This is the classic notification bar from the FROYO google phones

And this is the classic notification bar from the GINGERBREAD google phones: http://www.onlike.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/nexus.jpg

Maybe you need to know what are froyo and gingerbread?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Changed the build.prop like you said and rebooted... Still not Swyping.
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Thats the original from the from the very first google phone. Yeah its from Foryo but also its from the very first build 1.7 i think.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just sgh-i897 is incomplete. copy and paste from apex build.prop. u may want to reboot and clear cache after that
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I should have said pre-gingerbread, my bad....
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Thank you. Downloading Apex 5.3 zip to try this. Once I put Apex build.prop in the right place can I change it to say Continuum or will that affect Swyping?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You can.

Sorry for the previous incomplete answer :/
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
For the last couple of hours ive been using apex 6. It would randomly reboot about once every 30 mins but this rom is so good its a small price to pay
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It happens to me too, but I thought it was because I was playing with framework files :D
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Putting in Apex build.prop worked great! Thanks for the help. Very valuable info if I ever run into this problem again.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thats why rom is beta buddies. kernel and rom are yet to mature.. with that said i on 6.0 since 9 am and no reboots :(
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I think it has to do with the kernel. I t was happening on our beta and reverting from xcals current to the previous beta seems to have fixed.

sent using a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
No reboots here solid so far.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What is the previous beta? Beta 2 ?? I am currently running vG.1.0
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Yeah...beta2

Just went the full mile and flashed Apex 5.3. I love it! The ONLY rom that I've ever been on to include Samsung Widgets. Namely Feeds and Updates. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol finally after keeping urself away for months.. welcome to ApeX :D
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
I haven't had this problem, but I did get a random shutdown. It probably is related.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Nunhugger and others said that the random shutdown/reboot maybe caused by the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] codyrt:
I noticed that I've only been getting shut downs sometimes when I play Angry Birds. And it seems like it was when I was playing with the screen (turning it off and on) while the game was open. This doesn't happen all the time, just randomly, but it hasn't happened since last night which is when I flashed Apex 6.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
TW framework has changed in GB, system apps thats were working in froyo may not work now
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Looks like I just decided to like the stock launcher :D:D

Everything else is working good for me. I have installed all my apps by downloading individually, not using Tibu. I will make a GB Tibu folder of all my apps that work and keep it for future use.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
have u tried Arc launcher mod present in OP? Try it if you have not.. the animations are awesome

WOW, this is different!! I think I may like it with the folders in the dock more that an app there, at least for 2 of them. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
maybe i didnt understand but u can add folders in dock
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yup, I see that. That will be nice for 2 of the spots, and the other 2 will be apps.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Can you add folders to the appdrawer too or only the dock?

Sorry, too lazy to test it myself! :D
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
If you mean when you hit the app button on the dock, then no. I just tried it and nothing would come up.

EDIT: Pushing the dock app icon will bring up the apps, but that window will do nothing with a long press in an open spot.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just the dock.. but then the animations are awesome
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Agreed. +1
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I'll give it a try, but I think it will take more than that to take me away from GO Launcher! :P
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Go Launcher combined with Circle Launcher widget rocks! Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I have to agree guys, Arc Launcher animations are awesome, but GO Launcher apps drawer is just the best. You can add folders within the apps drawer, so there's no limitation. And I can use my own made dock and icons :D

GPS

I must be missing something but I cannot get any satellites. I have tried TDVJP9 and UGJK4 with no luck. I have tried with GPS test and Navigator but got no satellites.

Any suggestions? Not that important because I use a BT receiver but would like to know if I am missing something in the settings.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
If I am on cm7 can I flash this over it I am not by z computer and will nit be until tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
No, not unless you have the Gingerbread bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
And what the hell is that and what does it do
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Explanation from the Continuum thread.

Think of a boot loader as a BIOS. If you don’t have them (bad flash), the phone needs serviced.

They are 2 and their usage is as follows:

Primary bootloader – boot.bin – used to perform low lever hardware initialization. Importance – HIGH!

Secondary bootloader – sbl.bin – loads the linux kernel and passes the necessary arguments. This is as well responsible for giving you download mode and recovery by using key combo (see Gingerbread update and how to go back to “stock” safely). Phones batch 1008 and newer do not have this capability due to a hardware lock of the feature. Importance – HIGH!

THEY NEED TO BE THE SAME REVISION! You cannot have a primary boot loader from a gingerbread release in tandem with a secondary boot loader from an Éclair or Froyo release. The phone will not boot and will need to be sent to Samsung or ATT for repair. If you find such a package, please address the issue to the creator so he can fix it by including the primary boot loader from the same revision.

How to find out if the firmware that you are going to flash contains boot loaders or not:

The firmware packages that can be flashed with ODIN have .tar or .tar.md5 extension. In both cases, you can open the file with 7zip

Look inside the file and see if there is a boot.bin and sbl.bin.

Gingerbread focuses on graphical performance and I assume there was a need in changing several boot instructions, hence the need of updating the boot loaders.

Hope this helps some.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I feel like this should be posted in some sort of sticky with a bunch of information on gingerbread.

its not that..that i was gettin very good battery life in stock rom..

but i thought that i will get good bettery life in this rom.. but naaah..

i m gettin around 15 max with very less usage... :((

and to mention in advance...i keep screen brightness to minimum..and today i even installed screen filter so i can make the screen brigtness lesser...

and one question..those 4 buttons lights r now when the phone has some notification..is it eating lot of my battery...is there any way to keep it off..so i can check...
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Hi,

Im trying to understand your take on other dev's work, and as there are not too many GB roms you are either talking about my ROM (Im the only one who made an ODIN pack) or watsaa's.

Well.. I fail to understand it...

Dont wanna offend you or anything but do you have any idea what you're talking about??? I mean, I made an ODIN pack with "stock JVB" and called my ROM???? DUDE, people spend hours to implement mods into their framework, to fix bugs that Samsung missed and fix bugs in features that are already floating around from various developers. And they do it for the community!! All right?? If you're getting well paid from the rom you posted, well, lucky you, but most of us use the content of their users as a motivation.

And regarding your technical explanations... well, again, do you have any idea what you are talking about? it seems you mix a lot of info which in the end makes no sense.

1. Galaxy S does have bootloaders (yes, this is the correct name!)and, yes, they need to be updated for GB as GB contain new sets of instructions that need to be addressed on low level hardware control.

2. You dont have to root 2.1 to get Froyo. Period! Download CWM for Captivate form the web, put it on sdcard, reboot in recovery, load it and voila. No root required.

3. I am sorry for the users of your ROM.. you don't seem to be fair player.
