So im an existz fan boy :P been running talon since the very first release and im almost always overclocked. There isnt really any real danger when youre only increasing youre clock speed by 200Mhz. My performance always increases dramatically when I OC, but your battery life will take a hit, its not too bad if you can get your undervolting settings right but if you use youre phone a lot dont expect to get much more than 17 or 18 hours on a charge. Im never far from a charger so battery life doesnt really bother me, performance is what I look for. 0.4.2 Bigmem 1200 is working beautifully for me right now but who knows .. from what Ive seen on the forums some phones just dont like Talon. Its worth a shot though.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Weirdest thing happened just now. I drained my battery fully and then i pulled the battery out and put it back in then plugged my phone in and now Touchwiz is gone. Is there any way to get it back??

Did you see my screenshot? 0.4.2 1200Mhz bigmem is my kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
how did u conclude that TW is gone?
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Well I had it set as my default launcher since the beginning. And when the phone booted back up it was now Sony Arc launcher showing up. Then I went to the home switcher app I have and Touch wiz isnt listed there anymore as an option for me to pick.

2 quick questions.

1. How do you OC DC kernel? I tried Talon 4.2 but still way laggier than DC.

2. People have previously mentioned keeping TW in RAM. How would I go about doing that?

EDIT: Bonus question, how can I edit my signature?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. Use Voltage Control app by Xan or ControlFreak by shane87.

2. Thats a TW4.5 feature. Not present in TW4

Click on Private message above. Once on PM page, on left side u will find a link 'Edit Signature'

another bug i just noticed....

dunno if anyone else also facing it?!?!?!

data in battery usage supposed to be reset when phone is plugged for charging..

but it doesnt... until it hits 100%

i put it in charge yesterday when i was at 2% and then pulled out at 70 % as i had to leave for some work...and then i went to check batt usage..it was showing the same old..1 day some hour use...

then later when i put the phone on charge again.and rached 100%..then it was reset...

though it doesnt matter..coz i wanna test only after its 100%...but bug is a bug..

Browser

Just to let everyone know who prefer to use the stock browser but is experiencing lag etc, I replaced the browser to the one from the new Darky's 10.2 (which i think has been fixed) and it is much smoother. Pinch to zoom works and there is no lag. I attached it in case anyone wants to try it out.

Same thing happened to me two nights ago and was frantically trying to figure how to fix it. 3 modem flashes later, It turned out to be Rogers was doing maintenance. I'm not sure if this is the same situation but I don't see a launcher causing you to lose connectivity.

After a day on Talon 0.42, back to DC 2.9

The random freezes, locks and overall slowness/lag was just too much.

Honestly, I'm really perplexed by Talon in the last couple releases. It seems to have been a step backwards, at least for my configuration. Dark Core has been solid for me.

Same here! :/

Device: Samsung Captivate i896 (Carrier Unlocked)

Flashed to Apex 8.2 with AIO Captivate Tollbox_r. Works great. The only issue- can not go to recovery mode anymore to clear my data. With tool box(reboot to recovery) or with meny from the phone it turns off, menu buttons are lighten up, nothing else happens. VOL- up-down, Dow-menu does not work either.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

One more question- when it's just start booting- it shows screen with color dots. Is it normal?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope thats not normal. Did u flash GB bootloaders as mentioned in installation instructions? Once u flash them "NEVER" flash 3 button fix on top

Another quick question to all of you out there who have knowledge. If I came from another gingerbread rom that used 9000 boot loaders, was it necessary to do a factory wipe before flashing apex or did the full 8.2 zip do that for me?

Just flash the latest wipe version of Apex.

[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Another example of every phone being differnt: I was on DC for a while after having same lag/freezes/reboots with previous talon kernel(0.4.1). I flashed 0.4.2 on release and its been solid for me. No freezes at all. I was missing vodoo color a bit too lol. We'll see how it fares as time goes on.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Check the Talon thread - replied to you there also.

It's been the same over 3 phones for me. I really wish I could figure it out. I loves me some Talon. I felt kinda bad posting issues because earlier releases have always been so tight for me.
[Captivate Android Development] T0N3Z:
App close

When your in an app, and press it takes you back to the homescreen. Does thta close the app or just minimize? How do I get it to close?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
To close apps, use the back button when exiting. if you press the home button it will leave app open(used for multitasking). Also long press home button and it will bring up task manager where you can see active apps and close them if needed.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Great rom, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well I do keep my apps updated.

I don't use any task manager on auto-kill. I'm aware of how they work and all you said even since I first got my Captivate the day after release (my first Android phone) so I've never used an auto-killer.

It's not about "freaking out" because we "only see 50MB free". It's about a clear and observable performance degradation that corresponds linearly with a decrease of the reported free memory, without any clear culprit app taking up that "lost" memory. The amount used per app remains the same (or in my case, is actually less) over time... and yet the "free" memory steadily goes down over the hours... inversely proportional to various UI and app-loading delays and lag. A reboot restores things to initial snappiness... at least for a while.

It's frustrating for us seeing this problem as there are all sorts of assumptions being made and blame being put on us that we're idiots, we misuse our phones, etc etc... when we're just trying to sincerely report the issue and offer what we can to help diagnose and get to the bottom. A lot more users have come out of the woodwork to confirm that this memory/lag issue isn't an isolated case... so please, tell us what we can do at our end to help you sort out what's going on. Insulting us doesn't help. I myself (and many others) simply want to help squash some gremlins and help make this ROM as good as it can be. Telling us we're imagining things and a bug isn't legit because it's not experienced by you or 100% of users isn't constructive.

The irony is, each time I plead to tone things down and shift to a more constructive dialog, it ruffles someone's feathers and things escalate even further. *sigh* :rolleyes:

I'm flashing Talon 0.4.2 now, so with the reboot my phone will be ok for a few hours. Let's work together... those of us experiencing the issue, and those in a position to understand and solve it... to stamp it out? Sound good? :) If we've decided with 100% certainty that it's kernel-related and not Apex-related, then this conversation can take place in the Talon thread.

Cheers...

I finally upgraded Apex from 5.2 to 8.2 over the weekend. Been having some freezing issues so will try updating to Talon 0.4.2 to see if that fixes them. If that doesn't work then I'll try the Darkcore	kernel. If that doesn't help then back to my 5.2 nandroid.

5.2 had been running awesome for me. I upgraded to see what Gingerbread is all about on the Captivate.

Black screen of death and JF6

EDIT: For me black screen of death = completely black screen no power lights, no <!> screen, no nothing.

After searching till my head turned to mush, there seems to be no CLEAR consensus of how to go back from GB ALL THE WAY BACK TO JF6.

1. The one click JF6 by DG seems to have an issue if your phone "model" is 1008 or higher where 3-button fix comes DISABLED when you get it itself. Is this true? Especially the 1007 vs 1008?

2. Apparently, this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439: raises this issue quite nicely, and there seems to be a need to properly flash the bootloaders (sbl.bin) or something like that ...

3. WHAT IS MY EXPERIENCE? Well I just hard-bricked my phone going from GB to JF6 with the one click. Yes, yes, I know bootloaders etc are different, blah, blah, but I had to give it a try after reading hours and hours of stuff. :(:(:( There is some confusion a to which phones work and this is with the model # 1007 vs 1008 etc. HOWEVER, my phone was a 1007 which comes with proper 3-button fix. It looks like GB back to Froyo may not be that simple as expeted, ESPECIALLY IF sbl.bin is not a proper one that fixes or enables the 3-button fix.

I am getting a replacement phone from ATT...so I got out of my headache.

BUT any ideas/thoguhts etc are extremely welcome

. THE PREVIOUS THREAD WHERE THIS WAS BEING DISCUSSED HAS BEEN CLOSED, VERY SADLY. If this is an ongoing issue I think such a post needs to be re-opened with very clear instructions and perfect sbl.bin files etc as appropriate. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, so I am inviting some input.

If this is so obvious and I am a big fat idiot then forgive me, BUT PLEASE REPOST THE INSTRUCTIONS. It would be very helpful. I am posting here because watsa tends to be a little more forgiving of the dev's !!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have 1007 build and I have used ODIN 1 click countless no of times from GB. With that said once you have updated the BL to GB, you can use Cezar's safe method to get JF6 back. This safe method is a package without BL in it, and since GB BL are backward compatible this will never be a problem.

One should never use 3 button fix over GB BL since it will flash only secondary BL causing a mismatch and hence hard-brick.

If i am not wrong with builds 1008 and above its always a good idea to use ODIN one click to flash both froyo BL and then flash 3 button fix.

Hello i just installed this ROm an its running great so far. Im reading now that there is a new version of Talon its 0.4.3 and everyone is posting 4.2 today so I just wanted to know if I had the correct link to the correct kernel for the captivate.

[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
SUPER THANKS FOR REPLY!!

When you say Odin one click countless time, do you mean cezar's BL free version? I used disigngears I897UCJF6 final OCD REV0.zip here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=one+click. Now this has a sbl.bin in there. So maybe this and GB BL did not get along.

I think your key phrase is "since GB BL are backward compatible". I WILL trust your experience, but there is some arguments about Froyo runs better with its own BL. So I used the above one click !!

I will be back with my refurbed "new" phone, and this discussion is very, very helpful.

MANY THANKS FOR ANY MORE IDEAS !!!!!!
