SE launcher has not failed me yet under any circumstances(Memo works fine).

On a side not I have gone back to xcals jvp kernel v G2.0 until wifi soft reboot gets rectified(too annoying for me atm).

Nice to see that there is a chance I am not screwing up the installation process.

Sounds like we need 7.2 with all these issues watsaa :P

7.2!!!7.2!!!7.2!!!7.2!!!7.2!!!7.2!!!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:

[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Haha touché good sir.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
I finally got around to flashing the SGSII camera. it works great.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I will flash it and if all options work, i may add it in 7.2
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Issues? Not all these problems arise from the rom. Some are kernel related, user error, bad flash, bad download, etc. :p
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What's different and/or better?
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
they should work. the one thing i disliked about all previous ROMs except for miui, they stuck with the same camera. always hated it that camera.
[Captivate Android Development] badboyz8711:
Hey watsaa great job on 7.1, everything work fine... except the default youtube app with the rom, it always freeze and the phone reboots. Happen everything on TW and Sony Launcher... not a big issues since the youtube app from the market work fine....
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
got a link?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
The UI looks better I guess? That's the only thing why I want the SGS2 camera when I was in Serendipity.

I had this issue only once on both 7.0 Update 1 and 7.1 when first turning wifi on after the initial install was complete. I have not had the issue repeat itself however (I've turned it off and on several times without problems). Hopefully it's corrected in future updates (especially wipe updates) if it can be pinpointed.

im just gonna ask the question here and see if anyone knows an answer but i flashed the mosaic and continuum roms today and i flashed without it connected to the computer or with the sim card in and nomatter what i did i could not get a signal. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. When i came back to this rom i had no such problems
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Try kc1, working great for me.

[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
No I haven't, the only thing I did was change some icons in those apks. I'm going to download the ROM again. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
PS, I would advise against making the SGS2 camera the default in any rom.

A lot of the features don't work properly, as it's designed for use with different physical hardware, and I've noticed substantially worse picture quality when using it in different ROMs. In addition, the resolution choices do NOT match the resolution choices for our phone. Long story short, using it can lead to "undefined behavior".

And if you really want it, it's not too hard to make a CWM package for it...
[Captivate Android Development] mpanary_fako:
i'm against putting SGSII cam in Apex as well
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If even one of the options doesnt work, no way it will be included in Apex

Oh Great and Mighty OZ.

Oh Great Twingerbread, Hallow be thy name.

ok, on to the real reason I am here. All products so far have met with excellent results and fantastic functionality. But I must point out the newest version is lacking the timer sound. All the previous ones would make a sound when time was up, but this version does not :(. Pretty Please fix this for all us timer users that have sworn by your Twingerness.

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol.. Timer sounds work for me in 4.0, let me know if you dont want to upgrade to 4.0 i will try to see whats wrong in 3.3

OOOOOHHH 4.0!!! Downloading/charging for flashing within the hour!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol vivified. thanks for volunteering.. BTW isnt it too long since you have been on one ROM? :p
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Vivified plays musical ROMs. It's hard to follow that guy around. Yes, I'm stalking him, but only because he is willing to jump in on a new ROM/revision before I do and I value his feedback. LOL.

This looks like a good time to jump in on this ROM. :-)

EDIT: Man, I just realized that it has been a looooong time since I last booted into Recovery to back up and prep for flashing. Over a week! Sheeez.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
one week??? :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Sqb:
Thank you so much for all the hard work. I don't have one bad thing to say. Except this rom didn't part the red sea and lead me to the promise land. Keep up the great work on twinger. Best rom. Not an opinion!

[Captivate Android Development] photosbynick:

should i do a wipe or can i upgrade from the latest v3 to v4?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
4.0 is a wipe version and it would wipe your data, so backup first

I had planned to flash di11i's but I am enjoying this ROM quite a bit :) flashing 4.0 now
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I do what I can! :P
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
I was running di11i's ROM before this one due to the call recording. It was a nice ROM but the theming just wasn't quite right. Twingerbread is more to my taste and just seems to work. Having trouble since I don't have to tweak anything anymore on my phone, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
WAYYYY better boot animation!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Get 4.0 and you will have lots to tweak :eek: lol

The mod is amazing, best looking one I've seen and I feel the default email is increasingly different.

However, my doesn't seem to be doing well. Keeps flashing between 3G and H and I haven't seen comments on it. Just to load google it's taking about 20-25 seconds, if it loads at all. Is there an easy method to fix the modem, or use a different one? I do like this mod, just don't think I can handle the slow data
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep try a different modem, There is a modem thread on the top. I suggest you to try JK4
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey thanks for the reply and an awesome ROM!

I was also wondering which power widget that is? And also, how to get the sliders for apps while in lockscreen?

Few things I noticed.

1. Upon reboot, I will have to disconnect my earphone and back in for sound.

2. Toggle wifi on and off will reboot phone.

3. Audio controls in lockscreen don't work.

I haven't had much of a chance to play with it extensively, but it runs amazingly! Smooth and babysh*t! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Tried the SGS2 Camera app but still force closes on me. The gallery connected to the Camera is the one that causes the fc. But when the Review option on the Camera is not enabled, it would work fine. I'm using the Camera.apk from GR-12 btw, idk if there's another apk out there.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
the lockscreen controls work, Here is how:

Samsung music app will work with glass, puzzle, epic & SGS II unlock screens

All other music apps will work with rotary, miui & AOSP unlock screens

Toggle wifi is a known kernel issue and may or may not happen evertytime.

Edit: That power control is ripped from xperia arc

pls help...
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
The only issue I'm aware of is that you need to make sure the camera resolution is set to 5MP. If it's set to a higher resolution it'll actually save it at a less than 5MP. I came across that when I was using GR-12.

BTW, I much prefer the current camera to the SGSII one. If there is any way I can still use the "old" one when you move on to 7.2+ then that'd be sweet.

I'm also having some battery issues. I left my phone to charge over night, woke up to 100% and as soon as I unplugged, it dropped to 89%. I'm also experiencing 35% useage on cell standby. Is that normal?

Do you by chance have the .apk file the Xperia Arc power control?

[Captivate Android Development] prodigalOne:
Will do, not really that impatient, just that I really like this ROM out of all I've tried and I'd hate to have a reason to back away from it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I have nothing but good things to say about JVP and JVO, but I have yet to travel outside my area with either. Although, I like many others, keep a few modems (including tried and true ones) on my SD card so I can flash if for some reason I have service issues.

Honestly though I've never noticed any difference with any modem. Battery life, service quality, data speed, etc all seem the same. I just have a disease and must always be on the bleeding edge with this phone.

There are still some minor issues, but its mainly kernel related(see Talon thread). ExistZ is still working out some kinks :)
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
Thank you very much! :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I can't rember what issues you are having, but when you do any modification to any apk, and get an issue, you gotta mention it. The issue could be because of what you did. APKs are easy to break. If you don't mention it, we'll work our asses of for issues that are not even the present in the ROM.

Even if you are sure your changes dont cause the problem, you still need to mention it... Just in case.

What I said here is worth for everyone, give as much details as possible, so it will be easier to find out what's wrong, whatever it could be. Maybe the issue is caused by something you did (like modify apk, tibu restore...), or something you flashed (like kernels, mods, themes, modded apk...). It could also be rom related, but in this case, most of us would have the same issue. And it doesn't seems to be the case as of now about every issues mentionned here, except the bootloop thing at install.

I am not angry or mad or anything. I just want to make it clear, that issues can't pop out of nowhere to only one person. Double check if you didn't missed something and if the issue is still there, explain your problem and what you tried to do to fix it, if it's the case.

It will make it a lot more easier for everyone here, so watsaa will have more time to work on new features to add to next versions ;)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
eep2378 told you about the kernel. Talon offers a lot of feature but might be a little unstable at times. If you need more stable kernel and features doesn't really matter, existz made a kernel that is almost like stock, but with some extra features like ext4 (lagfix) and UV (no OC). You might prefer this one.

you (or anyone) can email/gtalk me at froli42 [at] gmail [dot] com

Nope, for some reason i dont have reboots.. I always use option in settings to turn wifi on.. Moreover i dont stay on Apex' single version with a definite kernel for more than 3-4 hours lol

i used this kernel as from your instructions. TalonDEV-0.2.2R2-JVP.tar

after using odin to flash the gb bootloader and kernel everything seemed fine until i tried resetting the phone after installing the rom. my cwm is 3.0.0.5 and i tried installing apex 7.1. and before installing the rom, i reverted back to stock using the aio capitivate toolbox program in the stickies
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
resetting the phone after installing ROM??? Kernel file is right. Can u exactly list down steps u followed
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
yeah, sorry i meant reboot the phone via cwm after it says install complete. all i did was revert back to stock using the captivate toolbox program. then i downloaded the gb bootloaders and kernel and flashed using odin as per steps. it seemed fine since it went to the download screen and it said successful in the odin status screen. then i went to the cwm screen and went to install from sd card and tried installing apex 7.1. it seemed like it was working since it said install from sd card complete. then went to reboot phone and it just reboots over and over again
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hmmm and just confirming, u have not added anything to ROM? like say bootanimation etc
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
i did when i first installed serendipity a few months ago. not for your rom

I had an issue when flashing from stock to 7.1 the solution I had was get into recovery mode, go to mounts and storage, mount USB storage. Place Apex 7 on the sd and flash that rom first. Then I flashed 7.1 without a hitch. Hope that helps out some.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It works because of the kernel include in 7. But if you followed the instructions in OP, you should have already flashed that kernel, so you should have been able to sucessfuly flash 7.1 ...

That's why we just can't understand why people are still getting bootloops when installing...

Did you flash TalonDEV-0.1.6 before trying to flash Apex7.1 ??
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
nope still bootlooping. soo what now? can i just revert back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] xgrimxwolfx:
I used TalonDEV-0.2.2R2 as instructed then went to install Apex7.1 wipe package it remained at the GalaxyS screen for over an hour. There was Haptic feedback from the buttons and the screen would go blank. Pressing the power button would allow the screen to light up again to see the GalaxyS screen.

I then installed Apex7 and it was successful then used the exact same 7.1 wipe and it was successful.

Sorry I can't help better I would like to do more research if work wasn't bogging me down.
