So far running perfect for me, thanks for the awesome rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
Muchos Gracias!
[Captivate Android Development] Krynn!:
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I think I found the issue with the UOT Kitchen not working right with the framework-res.apk from Apex 8.0...

It turns out that res/drawable-hdpi/zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png is actually a JPEG that's been renamed to a .png instead of actually having been converted to a Portable Network Graphic file.

While Android doesn't seem to care, the UOT Kitchen pitches a fit. I converted the file to a PNG, stuck it into framework-res.apk, and the Kitchen took it just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Ok this question is directed at watsa you might know the answer or maybe someone else might, someone asked me today if there is a modem out there that works on the captivate that supports HSDPA + that is currently working?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
is the talon kenel that comes with this an oc kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Our Captivates aren't capable of HSDPA+. It's a hardware thing.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
im stupid but where is Xperia Arc launcher and program monitor at?? I dont see them in the applications.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I didn't think so just did't know the answer for sure thanks
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
not stupid, you just need to use a program like root explorer( at least that's the only way i found it)

program monitor can be found when you go to add a widget to the home screen
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
oh you have to install them seperately? i didnt know that llol.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Why was TW 4.5 removed or not added?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Nope. You gotta get one from the Talon thread, I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You cannot see sony ericsson home?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
because it was making Apex "worst rom ever"
[Captivate Android Development] saquibs2004:
doesn't load up

i followed directions and apex 8.0 doesn't load the os. it keeps on doing the boot animation.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I only saw it when using root explorer

Post #4343
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
might I ask how?

I was going to flash paul diddy tw 4.5, guess I should not
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I kinda thought TW 4.5 was an improvement over stock TW 4
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
People were complaining about tw 4.5 making apex slow/laggy. So it was removed for now.

Its a pretty common complaint of tw 4.5.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
someone plz smack me if those 2 are the same. sony launcher and xperia is the same one? lol :o

someone pls smack me hah
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Strange. Stock calendar is working fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
> raises his hand!!!! lol
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Xperia arc is a launcher. On your first boot, you should have had the option to choose your launcer(sony ericsson home or samsung home). If you chose one as your default you can go into manage applications in settings menu and clear default launcher. Then the next time you press the home button you will be prompted to select launcher of your choice. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Watsa thanks for another version of "worst ROM ever" :D

:eek: any progress on keeping stay awake checked thru a reboot :D with all this flashing reboots happen once or three times ( or more ) a day . That would really make this "worst rom ever" :)
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
What worked for me:

- I downloaded Apex 8.0 and put it on my internal SD card.

http://www.multiupload.com/SK1DE1ILUI

- I downloader Apex installer and followed the instructions.

http://www.mediafire.com/?kvp2k24c4yo5xqv

- I went in CWM mode and installed Apex 8.0.

You should be good.
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
Boot Animation

Would someone who is more technically inclined than me and less busy than Watsa like to build him a custom boot animation for the ROM. I'd like people to see his logo on my phone when it boots up.

That is of course, if Watsa doesn't mind.

Just a thought.

..........And am I right out of it or is the option to mount USB storage while the phone is on gone?
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
Can I get the modded file from you so I can do some tweaking of my own?

I love to see what I can change........it's an illness.....:D
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Click the link in my Sig.
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
meaning with the cable plugged in? if so then nah, in my case it happens every once in a while, been doing that since i was on serendipity 7 but doesn't do it as frequent on this rom. sometimes i'd have to plug the cable in a good 4 or 5 times till it would actually bring up the dialog to mount the USB storage.
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
OK thanks.....
[Captivate Android Development] vamshi999:
is GPS working ??.. if yes.. are there any additional settings to change...

i cannot get a gps lock anywhere.. outside in the ground... without wifi...
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
no problem, its a weird little GB cases, but with the USB thing its ALMOST unheard of.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
2.3.4? Lame... get with the program, Watsaa! That's like, ancient...

I kid, I kid... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Yea, but you know he's not going to be able to resist.... and I just flashed 8.0...
[Captivate Android Development] vamshi999:
gtalk video working on captivate now..?
[Captivate Android Development] Ostate24:
Anybody else having problems with sound cutting in and out? Youtube cuts out so does my music.....seems to be with just the speaker and no its not going out cause i was on miui and it worked everytime.
[Captivate Android Development] tvu815:
I saw that Apex8 does not have the % in the battery indicator up top. Anyway to use the Apex 7.x mod from the website to get it? or is that a terrible idea... or there's another way.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not a good idea. Give me sometime i will update website with % battery mod
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Check out the EDT tweaks app.I have no battery icon, just a %

Very nice ROM addition IMO
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
::::Smack::::

Well at least you found out on your own :rolleyes:....did you push the home button?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Really though....is it not just a NFC chip update? that our cappy's don't have.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I mentioned this earlier as well. Apex definitely needs a killer boot ani
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
a boot animation.. good idea.. something simple and classy
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Also support for Google Wallet for non-NFC devices.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I just updated it for 8 on the website.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Indeed I don't ever want to use am icon again. This looks much better!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
+1. 10 char.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
OK, found something really weird.

Cannot be using TW launcher when doing this, use another launcher.

Put a mini paper widget on a homescreen.

Double tap the plus in the top right corner.

Your launcher will close, TW launcher will open and you will have a second mini paper on the homescreen.

Press home to get back to your original default launcher

Double tap the plus in the top right corner of mini paper widget again and get a 3rd mini paper on the TW launcher homescreen.

freakin bizarre!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
The flashing will never end. Such is the circle of life.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
All who were having problems with calendar, please flash this. I have added it to 8.1 update too
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Lol it' s true... this could be useful xD
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Is that compatible with JVQ?
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Working, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Not positive it is ROM related but didn't happen before - when downloading APPS from the Market I have do download them 2x's because it fails
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Works fine for me. Market can be glitchy sometimes buddy
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, Market is nuts. Sometimes apps download better for me on cell signal than using wifi, or the other way around. I don't think this is a ROM issue.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks guys for your support. 7000+ hits to rom site after a day of putting 8.0 out :)
[Captivate Android Development] Mr. Clown:
Did some cleanup here. @ all, please stop posting thanks, there's a thanks button for that.

@ other members, nobody is putting a gun on you to flash this rom. If you want to give feedback, make it in a constructive manner and with respect.

Mr. Clown,

XDA Moderation Team
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
You definitely deserve it buddy. Best rom I've used (and will continue to use) :-P

The market thing is not rom related, had it for quite some time now, but it is not a big deal.
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Sorry, for JVP.

I believe this one is for JVQ.

Link to info.
[Captivate Android Development] smully1:
is 8.1 posted somewhere? Not seeing it?
[Captivate Android Development] rapsucks10:
Absolutely loving this ROM, im so happy with It!!!

Only problem im having since update to 8.0 it's that every time i reboot the phone or power on launcher pro force closes! I have it in the system apps folder and wasnt doing that on 7.3. Anyone know a fix for this???

On the other side are you planning to port the Blue Mod for 8? That will be great and much apreciated!!!

Thank you for your hard work Watsa!!!
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
I'm currently on 7.3 and I'm dying to flash this but the auto brightness bug is "bugging" the hell out me. I have tried every kernel available with the exception of dark core's newest JVQ and the talon that comes with 8. I know that it's a JVP issue although I'm curious if bootloaders have anything to do it. I'm currently on the ATT ones and everything is running perfectly otherwise. I just want to avoid flashing back to the I9000's if I don't have to. (scares me) Any insight is appreciated :)
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
Will this work with 7.3?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Ideally it should
[Captivate Android Development] GiXXerSTeveO:
so i can i just flash this right over my current apex rom? no need to go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes sir

Is it just me or are the kitchen files not working? i ran 5 through and all 5 came back with an error from the kitchen
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
One of the image had been rename with .png instead of converting it. Kitchen doesn't like that. that's why it didn't work. I saw someone mention about it earlier a couple of page back.

correct me if I'm wrong
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
can i use the honeycomb lockscreen on 8.0?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not yet, A version for 8.x will be out soon
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Great! That fixed it! Now, how can I turn off the sound for battery full notification? It's really annoying when it goes off in the middle of the night!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Well deserved hits too. Thank YOU for a killer ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
Watsa pls pls try 2 impleEnt the new miui lockscreens n ur rom... then ur victory would b complete!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
@watsaa

You mention 8.1 having a color tint. I don't see a red/blue/green or other color tint, but more of a tighter grey/black feel. Hard to explain really. Is this was you were referring to, or was it an actual color tint? No complaint, I actually thing it is a crisper display, just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
Havent tried gtalk vid,but the hacked skyp works flawlessly on my cappy now. I also ordered an iseeu clip on thingy from ebay for the very pupose of skyping....! Should arrive tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
I seem to be getting some really sluggish behaviour from this one (8.0)

Handcent SMS and Dolphin HD are the "worst" offenders. Both of them will sometimes take upwards of 30 seconds to load. Sometimes even to the point I get the FC pop up asking me if I want to wait.

Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a suggestion to try? I already uninstalled/reinstalled, clear data, etc... the apps to no avail.

Edit: I installed the 8.0->8.1 update that was released today.. That seems to have fixed it. Since then things seem to be fine (so far :) )
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I assume it's safe to use this on 8.1 even though it says 8.0 on the file?
[Captivate Android Development] zrx12mike:
I saw this with Handcent and Lookout after my restore. These were the only 2 apps I had an issue with. I uninstalled and reinstalled from the market, after trying to clear data etc... and both were fine. Odd, I know, but it worked.

Great ROM! Easily the BEST 'worst' ROM. Loving it! Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:

not possible unless u install TW4.5
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Is it possible to pull it out of apex 7 and put in 8?
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Keeps crashing with 4.5, Is there any app out that lets you customize the home screens. Its kinda unusable with out it.:(
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I flashed latest talon kernel(0.3.2 T7) last night and I really like the voodoo color option. Punchy settings look great on my phone.

About framework fix, do we need this only for working in the kitchen? In other words, will we need the fix for any of the upcoming themes to work?

I already have T7 kernel, so wondering if I need the framework fix at the moment.

Interstingly, the kitchen worked fine for me when cooking up battery mod.
[Captivate Android Development] Elad92:
Hey,

I've been using Apex 7.3 for a week and this is a great rom!

I have only two problems. The automatic brightness doesn't work and the gps is pretty lame. Does version 8 fixing it?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Quick question gentlemen, if I got the 8.0--->8.1 update do flash normally using CWM or do I use the install update in CWM? I never have used updates always have done fresh flashes. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Not trying to start a flame war...but if theres anyone whos tried both Apex and Continuum...are there really any differences besides theming options?

[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I've had an issue with most ApeX roms - which I absolutely love so I'm not complaining - in which restoring apps with Titanium Backup causes FCs. My fix is the following (and it almost always works fine for me):

Backup your user apps (not system!) on the current rom

Flash the latest and greatest ApeX rom and start up the phone

Uninstall Titanium Backup, reboot

Install Titanium Backup

Restore your user apps

Since I started trying to learn how to make my own rom I realized that you can just tweak the Apex_XXX.zip file ahead of time to add remove apps/sounds/etc. I'm not sure if this is frowned upon to discuss in public though. ;)

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Just flash as you would a full ROM. Install zip from SD, choose zip, etc. No need to do any data wipes or anything either.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try installing Tw4.5 using CWM zip from I9000 section
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Sounds like i need to update TiBU in ROM package
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
Any recommendations on what to set the Screen RGB multipliers to? I can tell the screen looks nicer but I can't seem to find the "correct" color. :p

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Its working now, all is right in my world. Thanks alot dude:D
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
Maybe, but it's odd that it only affects a handful of us. If you do I'd be happy to test it out. ;)

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Thank you good sir
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
check ur PM
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Getting "true" colors would require some kind of external sensor. Just set them so it looks the way you want.

I left red and green at default and kicked blue up just a tad since I prefer a cooler color temp.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Is there a lot of demand for the Honeycomb lock screen mod?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:

[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Anyone have a list of modems that work with this? I am really looking for JK4, but others would be nice as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Check the modem thread and get cwm3 modems. JK4 is there

edit

here's the link to CWM3 JK4

I use it on this ROM

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
For everyone running Apex 8.1 with Talon T7 please report if you some issues related to LMK settings, or in general if you have some issues related to kernel. This will help out existz in his next official release.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Not true bro, even w/ 4.5s problems, Apex was far superior to others;)
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
If you preferred JK4 in the past, then KC1 (included in the ROM) or JQ1 should work pretty good for you.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Like something zooming to the Apex of Mt Kilimanjaro:)
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
Will do. No problems at all so far.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Flashed 8.0 and the fix from last night and all I have to say is that my charge bug is gone and auto-brightness is working again!

For a ROM that sucks, this is pretty darn good. :D

Now flashing the 8.1 update and I expect everything to go well.

Great job, Watsaa!
[Captivate Android Development] Deadclown:
I'm not sure if anyone asked this, but does this rom do away with the annoying ascending ringtone? I don't see it as a list of features.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
It's gone daddy gone
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I'm in central florida and kc1 was a little echoey for callers. Data speed and gps was good call quality was a little low. Haven't tried jq1.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I just flashed 8.1 from 8.0 and now it does a soft reboot loop. I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik cache/cache, reflashed, and now it won't go past the Talon splashscreen. I also can't get it to boot into recovery with the button combo or from ADB, but DL mode works. Any idea on how I can resolve this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
I had the same problem, I went into recovery re-installed my theme and problem fixed
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Wow, I think I bricked my phone. I was on Apex 7.3, then I updated to 8.0 and 8.1 then now, my phone is stuck on the "Galaxy S GT-i9000 / Samsung" screen. It's not responding to any key combos or ADB commands either. I guess I'll have to get a JIG :( Not sure where I went wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
I applied the 8.0->8.1 update and things seem to have cleared up. :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Do you see a Talon splash?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Yes, but my issue is that I cannot get into recovery somehow. I can get into download mode, but recovery isn't working for me, even through ADB.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I have a similar issue, and I am stuck at the Talon splash screen.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Get into download mode and flash Talon kernel using ODIN. Then you should be able to get into recovery
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I already did that. I think I flashed a 0.3.1 T7 version. Should I be using a different one?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
So even after flashing kernel u cant get into recovery mode?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Correct. I used both the Vol+/power method and ADB, and I still get stuck at the Talon splash screen.

Edit: Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I was using SensatioN theme by Crysis when I flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It will affect since the update package contains only framework-res.apk. So eventually u ended up having one framework file from 8.1 update and remaining from the theme. Needless to say they were incompatible. Sorry buddy but u will have to reflash apex :(
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Well that's not a big deal if I could get into recovery...but do you have an ODIN version?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope.

Here is what you can try --> Flash back to stock gingerbread, the one without bootloaders and then flash talon kernel using ODIN and then flash apex 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Well that sucks. I don't even know if I have an ODIN GB haha. Which one is the one without bootloaders? Do you have a link handy?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I have a battery mod from the kitchen(crysis) on 8.0. Should I wait to flash 8.1 update? I don't want to brick. :(
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
battery mod from kitchen was made using apex fw?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145149

This is stock captivate GB without BL
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
yes! 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Then you are fine buddy. Also 8.1 update flashes FW and you really dont need it. So delete framework-res.apk from framework folder using winzip

[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
Also, just want to let anyone who has the circle battery mod know to not apply it. It breaks all kinds of things.

Extended power menu gets all messed up, notification bar, weird messages. Even where is normally says "Charging XX%" on the Android lock screen, it says "Sorry, Try Again"

It work on 4.1, so looks like we'll need a new one for 4.2.

Otherwise, great ROM
