Well in some areas there's Device Support Centers, where you can actually take the phone in and they will look at it, and will replace it on the spot ...if there's no DSC in the area, you have to do it over the phone (which is what I done, tier 2 tech and warrenty exchange via call center) ...doing it that way, we just took the persons word on it...then you send the phone in, and when att receives it, they check it...and IF there is physical damage, they will charge your account the amount of the phone (no contract price)..so its a very touchy subject...when I done my warrenty exchange it would have been $400 if there was any damage, but that was in october..so iono now.. I would either 1) check and see if there's a Device Support Center in your area, they have a map on their website...or 2) you can try going into a normal store and just ask them if they thought it was physical damage, just say its from sliding it in and out of your pocket.. or something ..and get their opinion.. but personally (and do NOT consider this any more than an opinion), I don't think it would be, but its been a year since I worked there, so im sure their policys have gotten even tighter since I been there...

So you can't explain to the CS what happen and they will just charge you with $400? No further questions asked?

can someone tell me how to fix the sms app?? the timestamp is off by 4 hours. i know that ther is the timestamp fix app, but i rather jst have sms run without and other app running in the backgrnd. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
No no...what I was saying was, if you explain it to them and they do say its out of warrenty, then it will be noted and if you try later to exchange it, they will see the note from it being out of warrenty from before.. But CS doesnt have the final say on it, its up to whoever checks the phone once its sent back to ATT.. When you do the warrenty exchange, they read off the Terms and Conditions to you, stating that "if theres any physical or liquid damage it will be considered out of warrenty, and if its considered out of warrenty, there will be an out of warrenty fee charged"...which back in Oct, it was around $400... Once you agree to these terms, then its final...no way of getting your phone back..etc... But what im trying to say is, becareful, because this is a touchy subject, some might consider it out of warrenty, some might not...becareful because if you describe it to CS and they say it will be fine, they could still consider it out of warrenty when you send it in, CS has no say over if it is or not.. If theres a Device Support Center in your area, thats your best bet.. They actually do the exchange there and if they say its good, then its good..plus you get a phone right there...instead of doing it over the phone and having to have it mailed. .

But this could go either way...

1) if you tell them what you actually done = will be considered out of warrenty

2) if you just say that there was some "wear and tear" from putting it in your pocket..etc.. = probably will be covered under warrenty

So its all going to go on how you explain it to them...they use to actually tell you that "normal wear and tear is expected" <--actual words we use to have to say..so if you just tell them normal 'wear and tear from use' then you should be good...but again, this is just my opinion..and only take it as an opinion, i dont know how their policies are now, they could be more stricter than they use to be
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I see, I see. It's up to the person or representative back on the AT&T replacement center if it's considered as physical damage or not. But let's say that they checked it and said it's a physical damage, they'll just charge you and you can't explain yourself? Or they will allow you to atleast explain what happened and then they'll decide afterwards?

Is your phone time correct? Because the only thing I can think of is that, that time is off by 4 hours.

the time on my phone its in automatic sync with my network. sms app worked for me fine in apex 7 but im not sure why it doesn't work with 7.2 :S any more ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try pushing mms.apk from Apex 7 in ur system/app folder
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Sorry I got nothing else, I am not a developer so I wouldnt know what it could be. Perhaps just a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You can find themes in I9000 themes section

Sweet, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] djinferno806:
i know this might be a silly little thing to ask for but would it be possible for this to be incorporated into all future apex 7 releases? pretty please? lol

if not thats ok, but i think it probably affects only the rogers customers anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Nope, once you agree to the T&Cs, that's it...no going back... they will charge you if they received the phone and they considered it out of warrenty, nothing u can do after that ... that's why im saying this is a touchy subject.. but they use to be pretty cool about "normal wear and tear", again its been a year since I worked there so I don't know about now ...

I have read where people use SMS Time Fix from the market. Reports are it works very well.

He specifically mentioned he doesn't want to run an additional app/service in the background. Although that program works fine, btw.

I would like that MMS.apk from Apex 7 also!
[Captivate Android Development] rafsi:
I am not sure what causes the time to be out of synch... I had 7.1 and time was off by 4-5 hrs... got SMS TIME FIX app and all was good, then I applied the Matted Blue theme and my SMS times were in future(by a few hours), I then removed SMS TIME Fix and all was good...

Now I have 7.2 and have to use the SMS Time Fix app again as SMS time are out by 4-5 hrs....
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
So far so good, running smooth for me. The only thing im missing is the CRT off Animation, is there anyway we can get that for the other themes other then the matted blues?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Enable 'some' or 'All' animations, to get CRT off animation
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I will attest to ALL that exsitz explained, with addendum's. I have gone through 2 exchanges. 1) I called CS (gigantic mistake) for my daughters HTC ARIA. Had issues w/ the proximity sensor (now a known issue w/ this phone), the problem was ligit, sent it in for a replacement. We received the replacement then in the next billing cycle I was charged for a new one. To say the least I battled for a while and after 3 months, we settled on paying the $50 coverage fee. This was messy. 2) Had problems w/ another daughters Cappy, this time I brought it to my local store. I had flashed my second ROM ever, on her phone. It went horribly wrong (this was prior to jig's existing) I brought it in and (in an upset voice) explained how the phone was working one day and then stopped and all I got was this computer/caution/phone screen. The guy brought it to his back room to talk to his manager and came out w/ a brand new one. This is just a standard att retail store.

As exsitz states, not sure this will work however we both have the same point dealing with a general att store is the best method.

Don't bring the phone in like this

They may claim there's some monkey business going on;)

Ohhhh, idk why I didn't think of that, thanks!

Apex messaging app time fix

Some people who use Rogers are experiencing problems with the time being off sync in their messaging apps when receiving messages.

Here's my walkthrough for fixing the time in the messaging app for this rom, download the file I attached and extract it first!

Follow the steps in the exact order:

1. Copy the mms.apk to the root of your phone

2. Make sure you have Root Explorer installed on your phone!

3. Open up root explorer and go to /system/app

4. On the top, press on "Mount R/W" so that it changes to "Mount R/O" (grey button)

5. Look for mms.apk, longpress it until it shows an Options list and press 'Delete'

6. Now go to the location of the mms.apk you downloaded at the root of the phone. It should be at /sdcard

7. Long press the new mms.apk until it shows the Options list and press 'Move'

8. Go back to /system/app and click on 'Paste' (grey button at buttom)

9. Now go to your app drawer and maker sure the messaging app is there. Your recieved texts should now be in sync with the time!

10. If the app is not in the app drawer follow from step 6 again.

:D

Hi watsaa, Recently decided 2 change my rom,after a long time(a month,i think!). Previously had simply, installed miui,apex and continuum, then decided 2 stay with apex. Installed 1400oc talon,matted blues and am currently running on tw4.5. Totally love the smoothness of it all,really fast, n pretty lol! Love it!

Also, it takes suprisingly low ram, just about 110. When i ran tw4 on symply, it took 180mb always. Maybe bcz its 4.5 n all?

But then whenever i go to tw preferences, and click on restart, my phone freezes like a popsickle! On both oc n no oc.no other option than to pull battery. Also, might i mention that everytime i boot, it goes to the end of the animation, reboots, then starts correctly. Not a biggie, but weird.

I might be able to fix the tw freeze problem if a reflash,but maybe theres an alternative?

Ps-m on rfs,not ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Thanks for the apk. I put it in a CWM flashable file so you can just "install from zip" in recovery. :)

EDIT: no sms->mms autoconversion, no sms msg limits.

Saw 7.2 came out so I decided to try it again. Woohoo. I think my crazy home button issue is gone! Now, to theme or not to theme? :)

[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
How do we use internet calling? Just added my getonsip account on internet calling under settings. Do we need an app for it? I thought it was a stand alone features.

And watsaa do you highly recommend ext4 over rfs?
[Captivate Android Development] klbmth:
I have had this phone for not even a week and already been through 3 roms and I think I'm sticking with this one. Cognition was nice, but I wanted to see how voodoo sound was. So I went to andromeda, I really liked it at first but then I learned that the dev couldn't answer a simple question. So now I'm happily on apex, I love this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I know some people report that RFS works better for them, I still prefer ext4 since my phone runs better with it. Its a personal choice
[Captivate Android Development] egypt3:
Just switched over last night from Serendipity, which was nice and all, but not AS nice.

I don't mean to sound pesky or greedy, because I like this rom A LOT, thank you for the effort, but if you want some feedback: Voodoo sound and BLN would be nice, not sure of Talon does or will support either. BLN would be especially nice. Voodoo I could give or take, but why not if it's possible. The overglow on the menus is awesome and I prefer it to the screen bounce, but I've seen some Droid roms (UD, Liquid) that support BOTH. The CRT animation working for the screen opening effect as well as screen closing, would be great. It'd be nice if we could set custom vibrate patterns for notifications, or select the like 'multiple short' or 'multiple long' options. The lockscreen music widget doesn't work with rotary, does with the SGSII lock. Not sure about other lockscreens. And I had a random restart when connecting to a wi-fi network, but it only happened the once.

Anyway, great, good looking, very functional. Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. Samsung music player will work with SGS, SGS II, Epic & Puzzle lockscreens.. Any other music player will work with other lockscreens

2. BLN is present - Download bln app from market and enable it since is disabled by default.

3. Dont know why you feel that voodoo sound is not present when Talon kernel' headline states 'it has VoodooSound9'
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Confirming that Voodoo Control App is showing sound ver. #9 and working just fine. :)

Is anybody using the sony ericsson launcher and does it change its appearence on you. At first the applications button looked small and normal now it changed. And before at the bottom of the wallpaper it looked like a jagged edge like a torn piece of paper it was cool now that's gone too. Anybody else notice this.

Yep that happens when u save & restart the launcher using preferences. Needs to be fixed. If you want the cool look clear data from settings

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You would need a vibrant kernel with it
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The disadvantage of TW4.5, If you need TW4 with 100% stability then you will lose out on all the cool options in TW4.5
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Wait, this would actually work? My friend has a vibrant and the Vibrant section, in my opinion, is drastically worse than the captivate section of xda, and was interested in Apex after I told him how great it was before I told him you can't flash captivate roms on vibrants.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There are many I9000 based roms in vibrant section, This is also I9000 based. The only thing they would need is a reoriented kernel else their back & home button behavior would be reversed. With all that said i dont have a vibrant to test so cannot be 100% sure

K thanks hope someone can fix this sometime
[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
First of all, I have to say this is my favorite ROM! This was the first ROM I flashed to my Cappy, then tried for the famous CyanogenMod but I had to come back to my roots, CyanogenMod is way behind compared to this ROM! Great work devs!

I was using ApeX 6.4.1 and decided to update to 7.2. I'm loving this ROM, but I do wanna know if there is a way to set the battery icon on the notification bar as it was before. I mean, now there's no % indicating how much battery remains, and I don't like the EDT Tweaks options because they take too much space. Back at 6.4.1 the battery did had that kind of battery notification inside the battery incon itself, but now it's gone :(

Could someone please send me a link, or recommend me a mod or tell what I can do to get the battery indicator to display the % remaining inside the battery icon itself on the notification bar? (I've seen that MattedBlues has it, but I don't wanna put a whole theme just to change how the battery shows up :P)

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I don't know if it's considered as a bug or not but that's what happen when you're on a Gingerbread rom. Usually on Froyo, it shows full signal even when you're at your room but on gb, it only shows 2 or even 1. Tried different channels on my router but still the same. But it doesn't affect the speed though, for me atleast.

Change I9000 boot image

Hey Watsaa, I've been upgrading several of my friends phones to your rom and noticed that many of them wanted to remove the I9000 boot image (not the boot animation) and put the original Rogers image. I haven't seen a thread that mentioned it aside from one from the rom I previously used and thought it would be convenient to add to your site if anyone else was interested. The method came from MobileTechVideos, I take no credit.

bro,

Post 3754 has the link for the odin logo flash. you can make it any custom jpg you want in 800x480. I personally have a custom "Hacker" logo in aqua-blue(no, not aqua-green, lol). than the talon logo and followed by "BadAndroid"(custom bootanimation, just make sure you rename it to sanim.zip into system/media). Sound has proved to be very elusive. And the shutdown animation as well. Diff files and nobody has done a crack on it as of yet.

BTW- what is in charge of bootanimation timeout? the rom or the kernel? i am experiencing short animation timeouts with a black screen IF cache/dalvik is cleared.

Solid ROM so far, cant stop playing with the darn kernel. lol. lets just add an option to hide apps in the drawer and disable dock icons option, i will be ur bit**. lol. keep up the great work.

Questions, Questions, Questions (CIFS/Dock Sounds/Weather Widg)

Hi all,

I've searched this forum and can't seem to find an answer so I'll ask.

1. Does anyone know how to activate or include CIFS.ko in this ROM/Kernel?

2. I have both Samsung docks (Desk & Car), there is an option under settings for Dock audio when connected to a dock. When not connected it does not allow me to change the setting, but when I connect the phone to a dock, the option gets greyed out. Any suggestions?

3. I did a "stupid" :confused: and ended up deleting/uninstalling the included weather widget (weather/time/appointments) and I am curious as to which components I need to extract from the ZIP file and more back into the System directory.

Thanks in advance all,

Juxtyce
