apex 8.3

hey watsa, i just flashed 8.3 and booting now..

after flashing and reboot, do we need to do something extra? i mean change voltage, convert to ext4 or something to make it better?

thanks waiting to reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Watsa, Just a few quick questions. I am running 8.2 and going to 8.3 so do I just move the 8.3 to my phone and put my phone into recovery and once in recovery I select.

1) Install zip from SD card

2) Choose zip from SD card

3) Select the ROM ect.....

Ok now for the kernel. You posted "Switched to darkcore 2.9.3 kernel" and in your first post in this thread you give the kernels that work with this ROM and the darkcore one is the only one that doesn't take you to the OP's thread its just a DL of the kernel and its name says 2.9 and not 2.9.3 so where do we get the latest darkcore kernel? I have searched and cant find... :confused:

Thanks,

Soggy

Do I need to update the battery mods for the new framework?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope its same
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea thats how you would install it, however this is a wipe version. dont forget to backup.

Kernel should be available at darkyrom website
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope, no need for all that. Its on ext4

Watsa just to inform you 8.3 is the 'worst' rom ever :p

im on stock captivate rom. What i need to flash apex 8.3?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Read install instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
i need this?

- Download Apex ROM package and place it on your SD card before flashing bootloaders & kernel.

- Open 1 - I9000 bootloaders, connect your phone to PC in download mode, add galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar

to PDA and when ODIN recongnizes your phone hit start.

- Open ODIN_Kernel_Flasher in 2 - Talon Kernel folder, add Talon_Kernel.tar to PDA, Connect (Or i need to install dark core 2.9.3) (darkcore to 19000 or i897 captivate

your phone in download mode to PC and hit start. Once complete your phone will reboot and

will go into bootloop. Pull the battery and reboot your phone in recovery mode using regular

captivate keycombo.

- Once in orange CWM recovery navigate to find Apex ROM package, and flash it. The initial boot

will take sometime.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
On website you can read

So yes, you need to follow these steps.
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
Froli 13 thanks.

But for the kernel?

Its talon o dark core?

darkcore to i9000 or to i897 captivate?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
U can install either of them buddy
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You need a i897 kernel, the rest is up to you. I suggest Dark Core as it seems to be your first steps with custom roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Yes im confused on the kernel also... Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
From their site u shud always flash I897 kernel. The file name would normally have a "C" in it indicating captivate.

Been running 8.3 for a couple hours now and so far really smooth, I stuck with Talon for my kernal :P

The AOSP themed launcher looks really nice, Also love the new Replacement for the EDT menu. It's nice having everything from lock screen control, to status bar menu all in one general area.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Why not using MattedBlues for 8.x? Latest version works with 8.3, you'll still need EDT Tweaks app though, because it will change TSMparts.apk (don't know why I included it in the theme :confused:) and you won't have data toggle in notification. It will be in next MattedBlues release, which will be soon :)

Those on talon and with the lag after a long period/memory leak issue will you do me a favor? Kind of an experiment....on a clean boot do this from a terminal emulator...

su
swapoff /dev/block/zram0

This will disable swap/zram, and then see if memory leak still happens after quite a bit of uptime .. This way we can kind of eliminate if zram is the issue.. But do this right after you boot up (and no this will not stick through reboots)

But id like to get your guys results with zram vs no zram... our new app will have the option to enable/disable zram, the size of zram and swappiness value...(how much it swaps)...so kinda need some info for future purposes...if you want to monitor how much swap is used/free when using zram, simply type 'free' in a terminal emulator

Please post your findings in my thread or via pm that way im sure to see the results please.

You mean A LOT more reading and digging and most likely not coming up with an answer. Yeah sorry I made an ignorant comment. I phrased it wrong and it sounded bad. Anyway, I just got the 4.5 apk and replaced the other one. BTW, it is still called Touchwiz30launcher.apk so that is another reason why I was mistaken.

Aside from that, like the rom a lot. A lot of polish and minimal software bloat. Thanks!

Love the ROM.

Two questions:

When I boot my phone now, it briefly displays the Samsung i9000 boot screen before displaying the Samsung i897 boot screen. Obviously, this has absolutely no effect on anything, but i thought it was odd. Any ideas?

Keep the Lights On doesn't seem to work anymore (it worked perfectly in 8.2). Is this because of the different kernel or because of the ROM itself?

Thanks a lot Watsa, and keep up the amazing work!

Thats also a product of the Darkcore kernel, which is a captivate(I897) sourced kernel. Talon is an I9000 based kernel for the captivate. Hence the I897 when booting :)

hi,

succes on install!

thanks for all!

someone could help me with some questions?

1 - its possible unistall all lauchers and install the 4.5 twlauncher? (because I can edit more things)

2- Here the colors are not as vivids as in other roms.

I have some way to change this?

3 - Here status bar is black, gives me an impression that the screen gets smaller.

I have some way to change this?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. flash CWM package available for TW4.5 and then use TiBU to uninstall other launchers

2. Flash Talon kernel

3. u want grey?
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
Was able to recreate the problem and it was due because of EXTENDED CONTROLS

if you remove the widget or uninstall it all together (I had the 2G/3G toggle and Date toggle turned off when i removed it to setup a new widget with some different buttons) then that will pose problems. so i added a new one with the 2G/3G toggle and Data turned ON then removed it, and all works fine after double checking my APN settings.
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
Thanks watsa for the good job and reply!

1 - its possible unistall all lauchers and install the 4.5 twlauncher? (because I can edit more things)

flash CWM package available from TW4 and then use TiBU to uninstall launchers

Tibu is Titanium Backup?

2- Here the colors are not as vivids as in other roms.

I have some way to change this?

Flash Talon kernel

3 - Here status bar is black, gives me an impression that the screen gets smaller.

I have some way to change this?

Need the original grey!

Talon 4.4

hey watsa, i just noticed you are using Talon Kernel 4.4... do you recommend it better than darkcore?.

and.. where we can find it? i can only see talon 0.4.3
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
Thanks watsa!

I will try now!

For best color and sound i can install [JVQ]TalonDEV 0.4.3 ?

Its compatible?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
That's what I'm guessing in my APN settings at the end of a couple of the entries it said extended controls in them so I have that a shot and sure enough everything works as intended now. Which is kind a weird that extended controls would even touch something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yep infact it works best with apex :D

After installing Talon download Voodoo control from market and tweak colors to ur liking
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yep i recommend Talon, but i went in with DC as i was getting many how to's about voodoo color and other features in Talon

0.4.4 is a test build available to only testers. 0.4.3 is the official release as of now
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
thanks watsa!

As I do not know well on these kernels,

which of these should I use?

I do not understand what the differences are ;/

TalonDEV 0.4.3 Non-OC 340MB

TalonDEV 0.4.3 Non-OC 352MB

0.4.3 TalonDEV 340MB 1200MHz

0.4.3 TalonDEV 352MB 1200MHz

I wasn't thinking and flashed the I9000 JK4 modem and now I have soft reboots.

I looked but can't seem to find it.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
TalonDEV 0.4.3 Non-OC 340MB - No OC capability.

TalonDEV 0.4.3 Non-OC 352MB - N0 OC capability, higher RAM but breaks 720P video recording

0.4.3 TalonDEV 340MB 1200MHz - Can be OCed to 1200

0.4.3 TalonDEV 352MB 1200MHz - Can be OCed to 1200, higher RAM but breaks 720P video recording

For a start I would try with TalonDEV 0.4.3 Non-OC 340MB
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
JK4 is an I9000 modem :confused: might be something related to script
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
Also for those two you can OC higher then the 1.2GHz using Tegrak free (only caps at 1.3GHz) or Tegrak Ultimate (which skys the limits pending on hardware.)
[Captivate Android Development] torred:
Very weird.

After 3 or so soft reboots and me disabling data and turning it back on couple times it seems to be ok so........:)

I agree. I got a lot more lag with talon that I ever have with any other kernel. So far, with all my apps and whatnot installed, I haven't been getting the same lag with dc that I did with talon, but I'm gonna try the talon kernel with more memory with apex 8.3 because the better performance might just be related to the 8.3 upgrade.
