I don't care what rom I am using. If it's GB and has voodoo lagfix enabled, my phone runs like crap. Others have great success with it. On the other hand, I disable lagfix and my phone runs like a champ.

Try disabling lagfix to see if it helps your memory issue.

As for battery drain, while it's not a great method, the first time I receive that drain overnight, I plug the phone back in and let it charge to 100%. After that, I no longer have the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I might try this method out as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding, is disabling the lagfix as simple as opening voodoo control -> lagfix preferences and un-checking ext4 conversion and ext4 /system then rebooting? Also, is there any data lost or changed when converting back to RFs?
[Captivate Android Development] iMohak:
Yaaaay baby! The energizer bunny has been owned. This ROM has given me an awesome battery life.

Still good 4-6 hours of life to be sucked out. See screen shots.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I pretty much try out most rims and the charge bug has shown its face on ALL i9000 gingerbread for captivate rims and I think it is on ALL i9000 rims from others I have read. I have NOT heard about it on The Captivate i897 ginger read though. Also the build up of lag also. I am now on 8.2 but I have been on 7.x and 6.x of Apex but I personally only had the charge bug once. I was also on Cogb5 #1-#3 and never had lag buildup or charge bug. I was on it for about three to four weeks I think. I kept the i897 gingerbread bootloaders before installing Apex 8.2 full wipe. I have ONLY charged once so far and it went to 100% and stayed there for a few minutes. Then I wiped battery stats. I am currently letting it drain before another full recharge. I will see if I start to have any lag or charge bug within the next few days. So far so good, I am only on my second day with Apex 8.2, changed to talon 0.4.1 1400 cwm (NOT BIG MEM) today and so far no lag or reboots. Question for those with these issues, are you on i9000 ginger bootloaders or i897 ginger bootloaders? We may find out that the bootloaders do or do not have some effect.on this if we can all state when we have these issues which bootloader we are running. Just my thoughts.

Sent from My 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 Captivate Test Phone depending on what Gingergurl I am testing.
[Captivate Android Development] wretchedlocket:
I have not had any data loss when converting to and from RFS. Just to be safe, though, I'd recommend backing up apps with Titanium. But, yes, you can convert through the Voodoo app or reboot into recovery, select voodoo and then disable from there.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It's not a matter of overclocking. It's just a fact that every captivate (and every electronic devices) are different. Even if it's the same model. We are pushing our phones to the limit everyday. Not physical limits, but we flash software that is not even made for our phone. We are not even supposed to flash software... At this stage, any issues can pop up. Every device "reacts" differently. When we flash unsuported firmwares, we agreed to live with these little bugs. If you (not talking about directly) can't handle it, just go back to stock 2.1 that came with the phone. You won't have much problems, but limited features.

There will never be a perfect custom rom, mainly because every phone is different. That's why stock rom sucks, they are made to work with every device it's been built for.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Cant see the screenies :(
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
Has the colors been tweaked in this ROM? 'Cos it looks so good! I've used Mosaic Vwith the latest Talon kernel without changing any color settings, and it doesn't look as nice as this.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Maybe that's why my Hackintosh desktop runs crappy but the Windows partition screams. :cool: Or, maybe it's the hacked BIOS with the custom boot screens. Hell, I don't know. I just figure I can run Windows 7 on this old dx86 and be just fine.

How do you change the settings for TW! There's no preferences button
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Your going to have to download the TW 4.5 launcher from the i9000 themes and apps section.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
OK, back in the game :D

Got a cap again.

1106 build date new in the box. saweeeeeeeeeeeettttt!

Now for the weird part...

Charge to %100: check

Odin the bootloaders: check

Odin Talon kernel: check

Unplugged and removed battery and then inserted battery ONLY to charge back to %100. Never did that before. Voodoo honey starts doing her thing. Never entered recovery or anything yet. Battery charging indicator was onscreen a lot of the time. Anyone ever seen this before? Installing 8.2 full now, but that was weird, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Hey Watsa was just wondering why some ROMS(continuum) swear by flashing the captivate boot loaders instead of the i9000 , what benefit will that give because I hear of more problems with the captivate boot loaders, when I tried continuum I kept the i9000 boot loaders so never tested them out -as you can see though I didn't care too much for continuum but that's not to say it was a bad ROM just not the ROM for me
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
@watsaa

Just out of curiosity. If I wanted to use RFS versus EXT4, can I delete the voodoo files from the internal SD card that are created when lagfix is applied? I tried it on another ROM and deleting those files forces voodoo to enable lagfix again on the next boot. Might be better asked in the Talon thread, but wanted to see if you knew first.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Is the darkcore kernel link in the OP the latest one?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Yes it is the latest
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Voodoo app has some color settings now that are in default mode, so that's why the new color effect you may be experiencing.

If you like the defaults, that's cool, but you are free to do even more tweaks. I posted my settings a few pages back.

Dictionary Fix for Samsung keyboard

Is there a fix for the Samsung keyboard Dictionary?
[Captivate Android Development] foit:
For the lag issue, I originally tried talon, which resulted in massive lag issues. I switched over to xcal's 2.0 kernel and the lag issues have disappeared for me.

Also, if window animations are turned on, you will see the last home or application page that was viewed in the unlock screen.

Is there a way to force the phone application in portrait mode?

I dnt no why TW 4.5 would b in 8.1 but not in 8.2
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:

Thanks! Wifi reboot issue is gone using darkcore. No voodoo color though, so I'll live with that tradeoff for now.

8.2

i have been using apex 8.2 rom and i can say its really sharp and i love the SGII feel. but after 3 to 4 days of using it, i am getting slow performance.. an my battery life dropped up to only 6-8 hours of life on normal use.

my voodoo is enable ..i read about sometimes when its disable the phone runs smoother without any lag.. i will give it a try.

My question is : is necessary to have the voodoo enable? ..sorry but i still dont know what is the point of voodoo. ?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
It is not necessary to have voodoo enabled. You can disabled it from CWM under the voodoo settings. Have you tried a different kernel? Some users say Dark Core yields good results. I am trying it out now with voodoo enabled to see how it goes. I never ran into the slowdowns with Talon as some others have, but this is a new phone, so I am not sure how things will react at this point.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing high power consumption by the Maps app? It will be at least 25% of battery usage, and it wouldn't even have to be launched. It seems to use power regardless of whether I use Maps or not.

My battery life is freakin' amazing! I have absolutely no complaints about it. I was just curious to see if there was a fix for it? (Besides flashing a new modem that is.)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
I am using Talon 0.4.1 1200 big men .. only to 1000 .. now my voodoo now is disable.. the lady stopped talking and now my phone rebooting .. will see if this will improve something, specially the lag and battery life ..
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Its because of the updated Maps. Dump the new one and go back to the older release. Not sure what the underlying issue is, but it's a known battery pig (new maps)
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for the reply man!

Would I just uninstall the update via Market? Or should I remove the whole app and reinstall a specific version?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I would uninstall completely then pull the app from the ROM and install it.

edit

Here's the maps.apk
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for this! I will give it a whirl ASAP! Will report back!

I assume I ignore all update requests for Maps on Market?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
NP ;)

Yea, just ignore the market update requests. Oddly, after I flash this ROM, the Maps always shows me "install" when I choose "My Apps" in the market. That is a good thing though IMO.

Also, have you tried the new Market caleb4992 posted? Here's the link. Its saweeeet!

Just disabled lagfix on my apex 8.2 and I deleted the voodoo files under internal SD card. It does boot normally. But converting from ext4 to rfs took alot of time. Got even stuck on talon splash screen. But all seems well now.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Cool, thx for the reply. I want to try mine on RFS and see if there is any real noticable difference. I'm running the kernel in my sig and now will be converting to RFS for a few days of testing
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
The new market is really cool. So different from the old one. I can't just compare which is longer to load the new market app or the old one? Can't tell which is faster. Anyone noticed the difference?
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
Just been hours since converting from rfs to ext4. And its too early to report for the result. But as of now its smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] picklesnickles:
If I'm on Apex 7.3 will it be a full wipe to get to 8.1 or 8.2?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I, too, have pretty bad lag issues after awhile. I went from Talon 0.4.1 1200mhz (not BIGMEM) to Dark Core v2.9 kernel. Everything seems well so far. I'll keep you guys updated if this continues to be true.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Yes, full wipe. Backup everything before you start.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
You do know that voodoo lag fix is not converting you to ext4 anymore
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, if you have a lot of apps, the conversion will take a long time. It would seem like it gets stuck on the splash screen, but I believe that's the dalvik stuff being rebuilt for the apps, too.

It's funny, my phone does great on RFS, but now I am testing with ext4 enabled.

[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
What exactly is the difference between this Market and what comes with the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Not sure what you mean, but on initial flash, voodoo is enabled and the phone is on EXT4. Booting to recovery and disabling voodoo converts to RFS. As of now, voodoo control shows

Status: lagfix RFS only

Compatibility mode, no EXT4 conversion
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Its completely different

How long is too long?

I just flashed 8.2 and I'm a bit impatient I know because if it is just the initial boot taking time then I could get past it before someone replies... but:

flashed back to stock jf6

ODIN'd bootloaders (from apex flasher)

ODIN'd kernel (from apex flasher)

recovery mode flashed apex 8.2 zip

initial boot *seems* to be stuck at the Galaxy s animated boot splash... keeps looping through it over and over...

Is this normal for initial boot? I don't recall the animated splash screen having to keep loading (keeps starting over to the initial zoom, not just pulsating after the inital zoom animation)?

Thanks for any help... just wondering how long I should wait or if I need to start over (fyi I reflashed the ROM already just to see if it would change behavior).

Yea, on the internal one, it can.

If you use an external card, remove it before you flash a ROM though. Just to be safe.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
No external for me, haven't needed/wanted one yet. I guess I was just a bit freaked since I cant' recall it ever taking this long at this particular splash screen, BUT I should say that most ROMs I flash don't keep this flash screen (Galaxy S animated) in the ROM, plus the fact that it keeps restarting the splash screen animation over had me worried.

hmm strange.. anyways no need to go back to stock JF6 and risk flashing BLs again. Just flash stock GB without BLs and then flash Talon kernel from apex flasher and then ROM itself. If it still doesnt work then it must be a bad download

Thanks for the tips... I will go that route if my current plan doesn't work... I'm going to try flashing a Continuum 5.6 zip I had and if it works try flashing Apex8.2 again... or if it fails go your route.

well i have also been experiencing the lag issues for quite some time and that is what brought me to this rom in which i love so far. However I still am having the lag after a few hours and a reboot solves it for another couple hours. I have just disabled lagfix and will see hot that goes. I have had this issue on every GB rom I have used even cognition with i897 bootloaders.

just is really weird

What "lag" are you guys talking about ??????
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
it is weird man the phone runs fine on a fresh boot real snappy cappy!!!

but after a while like a couple hours it starts to get real laggy when opening apps and trying to switch screens or even pull down your notification it takes like 4 swipes and then when it comes down it is real jerky. the phone just runs like total crap and is very frustrating. then you reboot and all is good again.

what i noticed it mine seems to get real bad anytime something is syncing when you see the circular arrows on the top the phone is real bad

i tried to describe it the best i could

I am also seeing the lag after 3 or 4 hours. What I did notice is that when using ATK I see 150M of memory after a clear right after boot. Then after a few hours it always gets less free memory. It does seem as though something is not freeing memory and after time grabs most free memory. The system memory clear does no better.

I also disabled lagfix but get the same memory creep after some time. I am using a base install of 8.2 with standard kernel.

FYI.
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I too am also experiencing the same exact symptoms described by the previous poster. I'm running the stock kernel, the only thing I changed was the modem to JL2 and added the stock battery mod.

This is only my 3rd day on this ROM and a new bug has popped up for me. None of my apps can connect with data. I tried google maps, twidroyd, xda app, and nothing; it just comes up with a "network error". The weird thing is, if I load up dolphin HD browser, I can browse the web, so this is kind of weird. I had to reboot in order for the apps to start connecting to the web again.

I know there are TONS of variables trying to achieve that perfect ROM. I appreciate the hard work Watsa has put forth, and in no way feel these problems reflect his work. I can see there are tons of people who have this ROM working flawlessly. Unfortunately, I am in the small percentage of people who are having some trouble. Hopefully I can come back to this ROM in the future since I really liked the whole SG2 theme.

[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
no because it did the same thing on cognition which is a different kernel. However i have disabled lagfix and am running RFS to see if that makes a difference but i can tell you that it didn't make any difference on other GB roms.

i think it is something to do with memory usage that may be inherent to GB roms and the cappy but just a guess:confused::confused::confused:
