Just initially. But fine after couple of secs. But still I love it so much, not gonna give up tw4.5!

Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Where did you see them?
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Another 25% loss overnight. I noticed that cell standby was the greatest usage at 50%. Using CPU spy the phone was in deep sleep overnightand I didn't have UV set up. I have a ATT microcell, I wonder of that's the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
May want to try a different modem. My phone works best with JK4 for some reason.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You can try going back to RFS and see if that helps TW4.5
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
thx

I really with it would run atop something other than CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] mrnice225:
nice job

This is a great rom. I just installed yesterday. Nice Work!

One thing I have a question about is on Firefly when I received a TXT or e-mail notification it would illuminate the hard buttons as a notification with the screen off. Is there a way to activate that on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thats called BLN which is present in Apex but disabled by default. Download neldar's bln app from market and check Activate BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Download BLN Control app on the market to enable it with this rom

I can no longer connect to Wifi or Mobile Data. My mobile network type also stays at UMTS, it never changes. What could be the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
My phone always seem to run smoother on RFS. Lagfix actually seems laggier:(
[Captivate Android Development] citrit:
Anyone else have problems with the phone getting stuck in a boot loop? I installed from stock and followed the instructions and it loads and I am able to restore my account and apps. Then after "some time" it starts booting and gets stuck in a boot loop. This happened to me twice both from return to stock and then setup. I did not change kernel or modem so I am not sure what else I can do.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Goes into bootloop on its own? Even before you have restored apps using TiBU?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:

That's weird! Sounds like a bad flash. I would reflash again.

[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Memory leak?

Ok, this is a hard one so I'm posting here for lack of a better place. Basically, I'm seeing an inexplicable reduction in free memory over a few hours when using this ROM which bogs things down. A reboot clears it up, but it inevitably comes back after running a few hours, without fail.

I never saw this with Apex 5.3, so I don't know if this is something unique to Android 2.3.4 or Apex 7 specifically.

I'm still on Apex 7.1 for the time being due to how much of a pain it is to reinstall all my apps. But I've seen nothing that suggests that there's anything 7.1 -> 7.2 that specifically addresses this issue so we'll leave that out for now.

I've been using OSMonitor to try and pin it down, to no avail. I tracked the memory usage of everything over 1MB both right after a reboot, as well as after a few hours, and the weird thing is that those apps actually use more memory after a reboot than when it becomes laggy. (!!!)

To give you an idea of what we're looking at: after a clean reboot, I can see a little over 100MB free (like 101-110MB), but after a few hour it'll creep down to under 40, like 37-38.

And yet, here is the memory usage for the big hitters as reported by OSMonitor. Note that the first column is the amount after it becomes laggy (at the 37MB free mark), despite the fact that these are the smaller numbers:

Android System (process 1): 51MB, 60MB

Android System (process 2): 23MB, 25MB

LauncherPro (process 1): 39, 43

LauncherPro (process 2): N/A, 27

K-9 Mail: 21, 21

Google Services Framework: 17, 20

Beautiful Widgets: 13, 17

Dialer: 13, 20

Maps: 13, 21

Watchdog: 12, 17

Swype: 12, 17

3G Watchdog: 12, 16

Calendar Storage: 12, 16

Software Update: 12, N/A

DRM Protected Content Storage: 12, N/A

Gauge Battery Widget: 11, 15

Google Voice: 13, 19

Mobile Signal Widget: 9, 14

DRM content: 9, N/A

KeepTheLightsOn: 9, N/A

JuicePlotter: 9, N/A

BrcmBluetoothServices: 9, N/A

Smooth Calendar: 10, N/A

zygote: 8, 14

Some interesting things to notice from the list (besides the backwardness of the numbers): some widgets and services which should be running all the time don't appear in the second set of numbers, even though they're running. Stuff like KeepTheLightsOn, JuicePlotter, and Smooth Calendar. Also, I'm not clear on what the other things are that only appear after a while of running... (Software Update, DRM Protected Content Storage, DRM content) but they aren't nearly enough to compensate for the lost memory, especially given how much more memory all the other apps are taking right after boot. We're still looking at a 30-40MB discrepancy.

I wouldn't care so much if there A) wasn't such a noticeable performance drop (running any app then returning home results in LauncherPro having to reload from scratch), and B) this didn't happen with Apex 5.3.

I'm not saying it's a problem specifically with Apex, but I figured this was a good place to start. Thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Try upgrading to Talon 0.3.1 ,can't remember which was used in Apex7, but 0.3.1 is overall better

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Sorry, forgot to mention I already tried that so that's not it, unfortunately. I had Talon 0.2.2 before.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
One thing I noticed was that in the camera when looking at the pics they dont rotate when in landscape or portrait. The landscape pics seem to look fine in landscape. But the phone seems to know when its taking a pic in portrait and will show the pic in portrait dimensions but shows it in landscape mode on the phone.

Hope that makes sense. lol
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I noticed that too. A bit annoying really.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Try flashing a different modem.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Yea because I can zoom in on the pic still so its not like the detail cant be seen in the pic, but when showing a recently taken pic to someone they get confused as to why its not rotating and showing properly.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I will convert later today and check it out.
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
I noticed a stay in ram beta option under the TW preferences, have you tried disabling that?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I enjoyed TW 4.5, but for me its still a bit buggy. Some lockups and freezes here and there, and the occasional FC. I've been using Go launcher recently with good results on Apex. Lots of customization too. :)
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
As you can see from the app list I posted, I use LauncherPro, not Touchwiz. ;) LP has a similar option, which I have enabled... but it's not a 100% guarantee and apparently isn't able to do much when free memory gets low enough.

And whether LP stays in memory or not, it doesn't explain the mysteriously diminishing memory.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I guess there is a need to come out of "this didnt happen on froyo" mode. GB in general uses more memory than froyo. Also you seem to be confused between memory handling implemented in windows & android.
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Does anyone have a link for the JK4 modem compatible with CWM3? I can only seem to find CWM2

Try converting to RFS. I have not had any LP restarts since doing this.

I just did it about an hour ago but the whole ROM seems more responsive.

**Edit**- Never mind, LP restarts are back.....

Didn't help. I also found out that I could connect to wifi. The connection that I was using was a little wonky. Still no data connection though. Under Mobile Network Type it just says UMTS.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you sure that use packet data is checked? and APNs are in place?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Packet Data is definitely on. Not sure about APN, I haven't messed with any kinda stuff like that.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
All fixed now. My APN was borked from an app i installed to control my data. I reset it to default. If you hadn't said anything about APN I would never have figured it out myself.

[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Hey aren't I supposed to be supporting you(the dev) lol :p Thanks for the props.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
The LP restarts (and other lag issues) are clearly due to inexplicable low memory over hours of use that I can't identify. Converting to RFS wouldn't help this.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
You work quick, I'm impressed
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I can accept this. However it doesn't explain why everything fine after booting, with 100+ MB free and no performance issues, while over the hours things degrade in an irreversible way with less than 40MB, horrible lag and even the launcher getting constantly booted out of memory and having to be reloaded.

In fact, on Android 2.2 I had about the same amount free after reboot... but it did not deteriorate over time. So this problem didn't exist.

I might understand more than you think. ;) But I am interested in the specifics that you feel apply to this situation. Don't water it down... be as technical as you desire. I'll follow right along, no worries.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you feel that you dont use other launchers and prefer LPP, move LPP to system/app. It should solve your problem of LPP getting restarted

i keep having reboots every time i listen to music using bluetooth. im wondering if its a talon issue. it seems to happen almost every 10-20 minutes, happened 4 or 5 times today within an hour. im on 7.2 w/att bootloaders.

its been happening for a while even on other roms with talon so i know its not the rom. im gonna give v2.0.0 voodoo kernal a try for tomorrow and see if it still happens.

is this a known issue, can someone test this out to see if it happens, listen to pandora using bluetooth see if it reboots within 30 minutes, my screen is always off when it happens if that matters

for now im gonna test the nameless kernal
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Tell me about it. I've tried everything I know and also trying some other weird stuff...unless you know of someone who has that matching their theme, then I can study it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You can start by switching kernel. However if you still have this problem let me know, i might have another solution for you
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
ok thanks right now im actually doing a clean wipe and reflashing stock gb to have a clean start with gb bootloaders, then gonna flash back to 7.2 and try the other kernal if it still happens. i will let ya know. thanks

Custom Apex Boot Animation

Hey everyone, I've been getting bored with the stock boot animation and I got a few requests from a couple friends to create a new boot animation for this rom.

Being typical guys they wanted something that would definitely "attract some attention", so I came up with this :p...

WARNING: This boot animation should not be used by those who are sensitive to a bit of nudity. Additionally, I am not responsible for any beatings you may get from your wife/girlfriend~

Sample *censored* image (This is not what the boot animation really looks like. The frame rate, size and quality is reduced for GIF image to be uploaded)

This boot animation is 480x800 60fps and should be/is exactly 6 seconds.

This is also CWM flashable (may reboot once during first boot after install). Let me know what you guys think, enjoy! :D

note: if you would like to revert back to stock, just remove the sanim.zip folder in /system/media

I may take requests for creating custom wallpapers and boot animations***

flash monster hungry.... flash monster need food...

:D :eek: :D
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that and see if it helps alleviate that side-effect. :)

However, it doesn't address the root problem: LP is being booted out because something is eating away at my memory over time. Am still hoping someone has some ideas to help identify the culprit.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I've been having the exact same problem since talon 0.2, but always wrote it off as having to do with OC/UV. Hard to address now with the scaler bug on talon.

I like talon a lot so I haven't tried any other brands of kernel, but I'm interested to see what you discover.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
i copy and paste the apks but nothing, when i select widgets i dont see the weather one.. just the ones that comes with the rom.

any ideas where to find the rights apks ?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is no culprit. From your math calculations you were thinking of 30-40 MB memory not being available as it should be. But u never took into account drawables and other objects that may use this memory.

The system/app apks will always get higher prioritity over data/app when it comes to memory collection.

Plus there is no harm in trying to convert to RFS and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
even after a reboot? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
yep, nothing, i rebooted the phone and i dont see the widgets .. any suggestions ?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I hear that! :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hmm.. what launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
When I couldn't find a widget somebody mentioned to me that that can happen when the app is installed to the sdcard. In my case, that was exactly the reason. Once I moved it back the widget returned
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
So i was wondering how jvq was coming along and if it still has the charging bug?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Chaging bug i dont know as i never had that bug on any previous GB versions
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
Its so strange that some ppl have and some dont. Ive had it a couple of times but once i changed to rfs i havent had it at all. Very odd.
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
Well i think i found my problem. After a restore it tested it completely stock no uving and it did not happen. Then i teset my uving settings and it happened. So i had a feeling it was the 400mhz frequency, brought it from 125 to 100 and it has been about 2 hours of testing and it has not happened. So for me the 400mhz frequency was being pushed too much i guess.

I am still gonna try nameless kernal though to test batt life cause this one drains too fast for me, no ocing too
[Captivate Android Development] satans spawn1972:
I just flashed this ROM and it is my first GB rom......absolutely awesome!

I do have a strange question though.....using the Home launcher when I look at my installed apps and sort them alphabetically it does not save that upon rebooting the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
It could be related to which lockscreen you are using, but I haven't tried that yet.

From what I've read in the Continuum thread, MIUI lockscreen could be creating the bug and upon each reboot, you should enable the music player by double-tapping on the lock icon and then play...then pause the player. You have to do this upon each reboot.

Again, just from what I've read.

I'm going to try charging with another lockscreen tonight and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you are talking about sony launcher, then everytime you restart the launcher you would have sort again.

It should save after phone reboot though
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
For what its worth, I haven't noticed it as much on jvq. I'm not saying its fixed but it seems a bit less prevalent!
[Captivate Android Development] satans spawn1972:
I am talking about the Sony launcher.....I can sort alphabetically and when I reboot my phone I have to re-sort. I know it is a very small thing for this great ROM but it is a bit annoying.

I got the rom flashed and all but I am having trouble getting the mattedblue theme to work. It installs and when I go to apply it;nothing changes...what am I missing? I noticed that edt tweaks comes installed so I assumed that all I needed to do was go to preferences, themes, install the theme, and than apply it. I have never been able to get a theme to work manually and it's driving me crazy. Can anyone help me get the theme applied?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Um the matted blues theme needs to be flashed via cwm.

To apply theme just put it on your SD card --> Reboot into recovery using extended power menu --> Install zip from sd card --> find theme.zip and flash

just like you flashed ROM

@Watsaa -- how is the JVQ working for you?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Its in the very initial stages at this point. For me browser is a bit better with user agent and unlimited tabs. So far its pretty smooth. Noticeable over JVP? At this point its too early to tell. I'm sure at some point all of our favorite apex extras will be available for jvq as well(lockscreen mods, edt tweaks, etc).
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
So do you think it's worth making an apex version yet or is it way to unstable- would like to see the 3d oled screen
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Its actually quite stable, just no where near ready for a release(per Watsaa). The browser is much improved. As far as it being worth an Apex version thats up to the dev. If he feels its worth the time, it'll happen.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The default kernel doesnt support OC, but you can always flash other Talon versions which are capable of OCing
[Captivate Android Development] ccheung:
Thanks for the great rom. How can I change the default launcher? Do I need to download an app to do it?
