+1 at stated.

start the entire process over.

step 1, hook usb data cable to mobo(rear) usb port.

step 2, open odin.

step 3, in odin select required folders to proper slots for your step of installation.

step 4, goto a fresh boot of download mode on ur 897.

step 5, connect data cable to phone.

step 6, odin should ack the phone.

step 7, hit start and let the goodness begin.

THIS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS ALWAYS ADVISED TO FOLLOW

THE DEV DIRECTIONS AND GUIDANCE BEFORE LISTENING TO RANDOM

BANTER BY OUTSIDE SOURCES SUCH AS MYSELF.

inother words, look and see if there is any read me files provided or possibly any dl site info/read mez.

good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
Its soft bricked now with phone to PC symbol :(
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
you can still get into Download mode i believe. I had this issue once before myself. if the standard method doesnt work. try the froyo meth, power down the phone. have /FRESH/ odin open. hook the usb in the cappy and power on. poss throw you into dl mode. there are so many crazy things that happen since we jump-ed to GB. keep throwning it out. i can help for the next ten or fifteen.

do you happen to have an older version of Odin available?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Seems like you disconnected your phone before ODIN finished his duty...
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
I am trying to get into download mode but everytime I am getting this phone-pc symbol. . .I even tried removing battery and powering on with different combos :(
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
phone --!-- Pc screen is download mode
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
well, dont fret just yet. iu google, i will google and we will get this done. froli just might know the trick. but i am certain you can get out of it without jig'in it. i did.

first i will list my all known steps. which may be missing one or two, lol.

1. hold middle of volume buttons(pressing both up/down) followed by power on

battery out and powered down

2. hold up on volume and power on

battery out and power down

3. hold down volume and power on

battery out and power down

4. middle volume button(pressing both up/down) and usb connect

battery out and power down

5. hold up and usb connect

battery out and pwer down

6. hold down and usb connect

not membering any other at the moment. try those and report
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
or do what god says. lol. he would prob know better than i.

lol, guess i smoked to much this morning. damn w-ends. lol. i knew it wasn't super bad. lol.

soooooo, hey watsa. ur butt coming out with 9.3 or what? lol. or atleast could you pass onto froli that u released 9.3 so i could try out some MO themed sweetness. lol. jk with u all. thnkz for all the effort you all put into this. it is well appreciated on this side.

tnx
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
love you watsa . . .it indeed is download mode
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
hmm I flashed bootloaders and recovery. . .but even after flashing apex it seems to go into a boot loop :(
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Now i dont know what could be wrong. I would start by trying to reflash. Did it convert to EXT4 (did u hear robotic female voice)?
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
is this after a batt pull and recovery power up? which should place you into cwm 3 and flash apex 9.2 with a usb/data cable pull upon reboot/bl screen.

little rusty myself, been almost a month since my last flash, WINK-WINK-NUDGE-NUDGE( no-pun intended watsa ) lol (cough"BS"). lol

let me know
[Captivate Android Development] iluretar:
dumb question i know but where can i find the default 9.2 wallpaper, changed it and want it back but can't find it on the both wallpaper galleries
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you can find a link in OP with that and many other wallpapers
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
yeah I herad a robotic female voice. . .think it said " bad operation" and then bootlooping like before getting into recovery. . .even after flashing 9.2 JVR
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hmmm. so after u flashed bootloaders and kernel, you shoudnt have allowed it to boot. That was the time you had to pull battery, use keycombo to enter in recovery and flash Apex. Now try this --> Go into recovery --> Voodoo --> disable lagfix --> reboot --> let it do its conversion --> Once done pull battery --> reboot into recovery --> flash Apex again. If this fails I am afraid you have to go back to stock and then flash from there
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Can you get in recovery (CWM) and reflash ApeX with CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] iluretar:
omg!! how did i miss that, thanks watsa xD, can i push it to the launcher2.apk or the twwallpaperchooser.apk for faster changing?
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
Yeah I did it . . .It booted to the startup :). . . cant I enable voodoo lagfix now

Yeah I can
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
One it boots up and everything seems ok to you, just delete the voodoo folder on your sd card and reboot. It would auto convert to ext4
[Captivate Android Development] neophyte2008:
Your ROM is super sexy. . .Thank you watsa :)
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Is there anyone who can make a Sense theme for Apex?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Galaxy Tab 10.1 owner, I am theming stock rom a little. Samsung incudes lots of green in TW which I find ugly. Not that green is ugly, but mixing it with stock Honeycomb blue is ugly. So I'm slowly turning all the green to blue. Let me know if someone is interested. :)

Posting here because this question doesn't deserve his own thread.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
lol. post here because APEX is family. lol. besides, you cant tell me that what you may learn on the tab might not effect your decisions on what you do on APEX. so the topic is related considering you are one of the devz bro.

and of course blue is so much easier on the eyez than a forced green. forced would be the real separator in all of that. if there was(and should be) a way to select a color theme on the fly. sort of like the sound setting. maybe a default for all related colors or a break down for each. either way, i do not like being forced to go one way when the possibilities are limitless. its really a flaw on the manufacturers side.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
That's what I like from iOS (Apple in general) colors are neutral. It's all about black, white and grey, so it matches almost everyones' liking.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
okay froli,

i think you are stepping over the forum line here. lol. if you do this again, i will have to report you for being a damn traitor.

apple gets bit(proof is in the logo)?

well, android gets byte. lol.

Been running apex 9.2 since it's release and I've been loving it. However the past 2 days I've been losing my data connection. Finally today I haven't been able to get a data connection at all. I tired rebooting and nothing. Any tips on what I could do to fix this? I'm running stock Apex 9.2 with the JV6 modem.

Looks like ApeX 9.3 update is out. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
I liked the look of the old pull down menu better than the new one. I want to keep the text and features of the new one though. Maybe it could be done as a CWM zip.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Just pull systemui.apk from 9.x and place it in system/app

Im using the pulldown from 9.1
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
9.3 has pulldown the way you wanted it to be
[Captivate Android Development] eMar14:
Probably a stupid question...

I'm still on Apex 9.0, can I flash 9.3 right on top?

Normally I would, but I noticed on the Apex website that there were separate links for the 9.2 full rom and the 9.1 to 9.2 update.

So, do I flash 9.3 update on top of 9.0, or should I flash 9.2 and then 9.3 on top?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
I can live with it. BTW haptic feedback is broken on Apex 9.3. No menu button feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
9.2 to 9.3...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is absolutely nothing in 9.3 update that can break haptic feedback
[Captivate Android Development] NightHawk877:
Really? it worked fine with 9.2.

EDIT: It was a kernel problem. Changed to a more stable build of the Talon kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Everytime I reboot with Apex 9.3, the apps i installed are missing (tibu, facebook, whatsapp, etc) --the grey sd card icon shows over each app in the app drawer! whats going on?? :confused::confused: "application is not installed on this phone" when i click on any of the apps.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Convert to RFS and see if that solves it. This is a problem that happens berween RFS/EXT4 conversion
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Any idea how to change the default homescreen for TW4? :confused: I tried the default.prop business to no effect.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you have to clear data/cache for launcher
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
hey watsa,

i just wanted to say, tnx. tnx for the work. tnx for the quick replies. tnx for the effort. tnx for apex. tnx for the advice. and most of all.......

TNX FOR PUTTING UP WITH US BRO!!!!

u fkn rok man....

now where is froli hiding with MattedOrange. lol.....
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
This update is sweet and to the point

Love the new dropdown menu! Looks like 9.1 and 9.2 had a baby and we got the one from 9.3 ---> AMAZING

Love the new dialer

Love the fact that it's a non-wipe, ever since Dlev broke his captivate i've been waiting for a wipe release so I have to start all over :p

Thanks again for the great ROM. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Will mattedblues, 8/29 release, work with this or should i not flash that back onto this?
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
What exactly is "this"? If you mean 9.3 then if it worked with 9.1-9.2 it should work with 9.3 as they are minor tweaks.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
haha yea i did mean 9.3 and I found out that it did work once i flashed it. I was gonna edit the post saying I found my answer.

Thanks though for the reply!

yes just pull status_bar_background.png from 9.2' systemUI.apk and add it to 9.3' systemui.apk/res/drawable-hdpi. Push new systemUI to your phone and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
watsa

is there a 9.3 full by chance?

they way I have to flash, it's easier going with a full. I get some weirdness doing updates. Of course I'm gonna flash regardless, but a full is less error prone for Infuse users on Cap ROMs

Thx for yet another release of the worst ROM ever!

nvm.. just saw it was only just over a meg.

this should be fine

and it's 2.3.5!

EDIT: Darkcore 4.0 also dropped.

EDIT EDIT: Links to download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVS/
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
JVS is i9000 based right?
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Yes it is! It's 2.3.5 as opposed to 2.3.4 that JVQ,JVP and JVR are. Probably very minor fixes, but an upgrade nonetheless
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
By the time you completely upgrade to JVS, a JVT will be out. This will never end. Jeez :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Wait for JVZ, that way there won't be another update :p

unless...they restart with JVA :mad:

EDIT: Well this for once is considered a "real" upgrade i.e. 2.3.5. JVQ to JVR was no change whatsoever. Am I wrong?

Could this possibly fix charging bug and some other small OS problems?
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
Thanks! Will have to move to talon to do that.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Any tricks to increase my terrible battery usage too?

Thanks!

There is no charging bug in KH3 which is 2.3.4

[Captivate Android Development] bela:
Dude,

Seriously, this is the best Captivate ROM I have seen in a long time!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Can I donate you something for a beer or two?

After loading and being disappointed with the "official 2.2" I took the plunge and loaded this one.

Its quick, its visually pleasing, has all the European languages, nice ringtones, no bloatware, great battery life.

Did I mention HSUPA??? Finally, full speed uploads, and not crippled to 384kbps by at&t...Since I use it in Europe, it really pissed me how they disable something i paid for...

I cant believe how nice this is.. Shame on Samsung and at&t...They really screwed the consumer big time..

On a side note my automatic brightness does not seem to work (darkens the screen too much and no changes on light) but its not a biggie...

Keep up the good work!!

Bela
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
For the auto brightness that you find too dark, it's a feature of the speedmod kernel to save battery. You can disable this in recovery.

Any chance of adding the Auto Call Recorder from here...? The APK doesn't work with ApeX Call Recording.

Also if you haven't already, try the SD Card read cache tweak. I'm using 4096 KB for cache size and getting improved Read/Write speeds. Gallery loads quickly and media scanner time is down significantly.

Default cache of 128KB I get 6.5 / 13 MB/s for write/read speeds. Not sure why the write speed is increasing eventhough this is just a Read tweak. :confused:

My quick n dirty test spreadsheet. I ran the test 3x for each cache size and averaged the results.

Stupid placebos...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hey kim i got your PM, yes i will be adding the sd card tweak soon.. thanks for guiding me buddy

It was laggy in which app/scenario for you? after the first boot when media scanning is completed everything should be smooth

it was laggy for the first 2 hours of use. i then disabled lagfix to flash another rom and i noticed it wasnt laggy anymore. very strange.

Is that the case with other ROMS too with lagfix enabled? If yes then maybe your cappy doesnt like ext4 and wants rfs :D

Yes you would HAVE to go Talon...and in my opinion, Talon is THE best kernel for Apex...features and with a little tweaking..flawless performance.

Also, as far as i know 2.3.5. was introduced to fix a voice recognition bug in the Nexus S..dont know of ANY improvements it would bring to us. IF there is any improvements it will be known in the next couple of days
