A new version of SuckerPunch is out! (#56) Now working with fugu tweaks!

watsaa: why SP-Voodo? Original SP has it all! (SP-Voodoo will be working with fugu tweaks soon though)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Is it possible to have an add-on to disable/enable FUGU tweaks?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes it is possible, but looks like SP is now compatible with fugu tweaks.. anyways i am itching to have SP in coming releases :D
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Both have been updated to support it so I'd include the FUGU tweaks for sure. Also, I recommend SuckerPunch-Voodoo, I love it!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
time for some voodoo now, need for speed :D

btw how is SP non voodoo working for you?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I will upload this in a second

EDIT: Take this file from this thread to activate fugu tweaks and use the attached one to disable it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
ok boss 4.3 coming up :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Yes it is! So smooth!

If you want speed take SP and OC to whatever to you want and you'll get speed ;) (with awesome battery life ;))
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
disabling fugu is in OP, the one that takes you from 4.0 to 4.1
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Yep, but need to remove the build.prop from the zip. Right? (It's what I did for me)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes, else you wil be on 4.1 :D

i am pushing 4.3 with fugu and SP as default kernel, with a gallery fix
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What will it change? (gallery fix)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
FC when you try to set a custom wallpaper, it wouldnt change your theme setup if you are worried :D

The Crysis battery mod from the Apex site is compatible with 8.1, right?

Yea. It works.

For some reason my phone isn't deleting text messages once then get past 200, even though the settings enabled.

Any idea what's up?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I believe there was a feature I read somewhere that enables unlimited text messages. Don't quote me but it may be included in Apex. Haven't searched or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Not sure if it was just me , but once I flashed 8.1 I lost recovery function from extended menu, got it back once I flashed a theme

other than that no other issues with the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you were running a theme before flashing 8.1 update?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Yup, but it hasn't happened with any other build- recovery has been there in the extended menu wasn't an issue for me just wanted to put it out there to see if it was a bug or not
[Captivate Android Development] naranova7:

Thanks, watsa, I got it working again. On another note, is there any way we can incorporate the new MIUI lockscreens? Those things look freaking tight.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
+1 if i knew how, it'd already be done. Obviously there are more important things than lockscreens but it'd be cool as hell.

Watsaa, i have to say 8.1 is nothing short of a masterpiece, its running beautifully right now, i threw talon 0.4.1 bigmem 1400 under the hood today and its pretty much perfect. Thankyou man!

Sent from my beloved Cappy!!
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
My long term test results show that I keep getting random lockups. It seems like the buttons respond and blink when I hit them but the screen appears frozen. I've removed all OC and the results are the same.

Going to try 8.1 right now and probably throw Talon 0.4.1 on it too
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
so I installed 8.1 from 7.3... no issues and working flawlessly . once again great rom. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Sorry watsa, gave 8.0 a try but just doesn't like my phone. Just too laggy. It's not on the i897 bootloaders is it? Either way, wish I could enjoy it, thanks for the hard work.

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
First to clarify, I am in no way involved with the programming of this rom​

To all the noob's and noob's to Apex ROM, this work comes at a price to a dev... It's called EXTREME TIME AND EFFORT;) Please make any donation you can to the cause. Incentive is a strong persuasion. Please remember this, while you're admiring your Capextivate.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Well I haven't been ion samsung roms for a while so im used to CM7 and being able to download any file from the stock browser. Just tried this rom and I like so far, but some files just wont download! Anyone have a fix for this? Thanx in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Can you be a little more specific. What kind of files?
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
Did you try 8.1? 8.0 was very laggy for me but 8.1 is running beautiful!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I cant get both mods at the same time. On 8.1. Tried a few times. One more try.....
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Ok no dice. Start with HC lock, flash the bat and lock becomes puzzle with a killer bat mod. Switch it up and the reverse happens.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Something else is going on now. After the multi mod flashfest, my wifi icon doesn't display unless I go to wifi settings, then it pops up. I keep it on all the time. Weird .....
[Captivate Android Development] rg400smarttowel:
Nice rom. Just moved over from froyo 2.2 to gb for the first time and I have to say I am here to stay.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
You can't have the Honeycomb lock and battery mod at the same time. Did you not see my note.

"If you would like this mod with your favorite battery mod send me a PM at http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=3084920"
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Yea, I saw it.. I just didn't read it :o

Cut me some slack man, I see two mods up there and of COURSE I'm gonna flash before reading --lmao--
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Yea both mods use the same file so I would have to include both at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I like the bat mod. I can do without the lock. I use miui lock most of the time because it's easy for me while I am at work.

The best I have been able to do was create a revert file for the Paul Diddy theme on 7.3.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Wise choice on the cherry pop. I've tried them all and my phone always rests comfortably with Apex.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
.zip files. Like kernels on xda. Just a lot of files don't download...

I've been running Serendipity since 6.4 came out and am now currently on stock Serendipity 7 build 2 kernel 4.1. Haven't flashed any other ROM besides Serendipity and was honestly just getting a little bored with it.

From what I gathered from this thread there are a few steps I should take before I flash Apex 8.

1. Disable lagfix and convert back to RFS

2. Place Apex 8.0 zip file on SD card.

3. Reboot to CWM 3

4. Clear dalvik and partition cache

5. Go back to main CWM 3 menu and install Apex 8.0.zip from sd card

Can anyone confirm if these are the appropriate steps needed in order to flash Apex 8.0 coming from S7 build 2? Thanks for the help in advanced! I still consider myself a major n00b since this is technically only the 2nd ROM I've ever flashed.

How to uninstall twlauncher and sony

Hi, I just installed this rom, it seems fantastic for me, but I dont like twlauncher and the sony one, I just like to use launcher pro wich I bougth but if I install both there seems little weird beheavior, I just need to uninstall tw launcher and sony one thanks
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
no need to disable lagfix. All other steps are correct.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I was on Serendipity 7 build 2 also and like you I started getting bored with it (not that that is a bad thing it is a great ROM)- to come over I actually didn't convert to rfs because I never went to ext nor did I disable lagfix, if you were on the stock ROM it is RFS

I did a factory re-set through recovery(CW) and although it should be done by the factory re-set I also cleared dalvik/partition and even battery stats then I backed up my apps with titanium back-up then I flashed the ROM which is a full wipe ROM so you are basically starting from scratch. Just remember when you restore your apps with Titanium back up

DO NOT

restore system data

just restore apps(you can restore apps with data, it only keeps your scores for games, etc.)
[Captivate Android Development] NinoAl:
Which i9000 bootloader can i flash for this rom? this is my first time flashing gingerbread on a captivate rom....and which odin can i use?
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
This is where I'm a little confused. When I click on the Voodoo control app, under voodoo lagfix it states "Status: Ext4 lagfix active", and when I click on "Lagfix Prefrences", it has the "Ext conversion" checked as well as the "Ext4 /system" checked. That is the only reason why I believe lagfix is enabled. I've never messed around with these settings just noticed them when looking around the voodoo app.

Two more things, is restoring system data from contacts/sms a bad thing? I've always restored my contacts/sms. For some reason my contacts never update even though I have it connected to my google account; and with the SMS I just like having my old SMS on there. Finally, how do you like Apex 8.0 to S7?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I'm running GB i9000 bootloaders if you are starting from scratch (coming from froyo 2.2) you would flash the boot loaders that come in the flash pack for Apex from here:http://apexrom.weebly.com/installation-instructions.html
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I wouldn't worry about lagfix, as for your contacts that is being done through google so it will not have any effect on the ROM its the system data file you do not want to restore

As for how I like the ROM compared to S7 I would have to say they are very similar in the way they are both very stable, JVQ to me just seems to respond a little quicker (with the exception of some having issues with JVQ internet browser)and I also like to move along with progress in other words when an updated ROM comes out I want to try it nothing against mikey/chance they are very skilled but I just felt S7 is kind of a final product and I wanted to try something new and APEX is the best option out there I tried continuum also but I feel APEX was more stable and battery life was comparable with S7 which for me was great
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
^^

Thanks for the quick responses, help and input! I too feel the same about S7, awesome ROM but just getting a little bored of it and would like to try something new and fresh. I'll probably be flashing this ROM in the next few days. I also wanted to ask, how has GPS been for you, has it improved in this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
No problem,

GPS has been great but, can't compare it to S7 because I bricked my phone and this is a different phone needed the phone right away and since the ATT repair center was close to my house I just did a warranty exchange
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
Whens the themin acomin'?
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:

[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Don't mind it and definitely not complaining just pointing out. Video call button is still there under contact shortcuts, the one that pops up when you touch a contact photo icon.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You mean buddies now widget? if yes then it will be gone in 8.2
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
No, when in contacts if you touch the photo icon a menu pops up it is there.
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
sorry if this has been asked, but where are the different lock screens for this rom? I only seen the ability to change the wallpaper for the lock screen it comes with the main one. Also I was reading about adjusting the RBG how does one go about doing so?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. Settings --> Display --> Device Lockscreen

2. Voodoo control app

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Fixed, went back to older HC lock for now. Also added themed contacts
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
new download up?

At first I thought it was a bad flash since I had the USB cable in. I never do that. Reflashed and it was the same.

It happened to me as well, but I just used the music player from cognition 5 and everything is fine. I don't like to risk it by flashing bootloaders again!
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
It still lagged but not as bad, this is only in comparison to the other gingerbread rom that I was using and his kernel. I changed the kernel for your rom and its working great now. The phone got really slow when i setup the social hub, and when i used the device customization settings in the "settings menu" to set up the animations it was unbearably slow.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
That solves problem with music player, hope that everything else works properly
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
When i use the MIUI lock screen and slide it up using the messages or calling side of the lock screen, it only shows my background and then the phone reboots, it has done it on the roms kernal and the current one im using.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Did you set a custom app for the messages icon? You will get a restart if you don't. Read watsaa's instructions and everything he has on the Apex site.

Edit

Just tested my miui lock and all's well. What bootloaders are you using? Did you use the Apex flasher to prep for the ROM install before flashing? What kernel are you using?

Anybody using Launcher Pro??

Mines FC every time the phone starts!

BTW thank you so much for the Blue Mod!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I have had probs with LP in the past as well. I changed to Go Launcher. There is supposed to be a rewrite the dev is doing but that's been talked about for a good while. Try keeping launcher in memory and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Go into Titanium Backup and do a batch move of all apps to the internal storage. Sometimes during restore it incorrectly restores some apps to the internal SD, which causes the LauncherPro hang/FC on boot.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Im gonna jump the fence tonight and try 8.1...coming from continuum 6.1 which is an excellent rom but i have this lock up issue when doing extended browsing since version 5.6. Does anyone have this issue on Apex? Also, has anyone tried the Gingerblue theme from continuum here? Theoretically it should work since both are jvq right? And one more question for Watsa...the tw4 launcher included here, is it the original tw4 that fc's all day or the modded one by froggr?
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
No problems with Launcher Pro, had it installed since Apex7 and has worked fine with Apex8 as well.

Damn I need some help please.

I was making my own 'revert' for mattedblues (stupid, i Know) and flashed it finally. I saw a kernel change I don't know why, but I didn't care, so rebooted. During reboot I get to the Galaxy S screen and then to the Talon logo, and there it stays :(

Now I try to flash a kernel via Odin, but the computers don't recognize the phone, so I can do nothing :( Is that recognizing problem something to do with the kernel thing? Or maybe it's just my cable or something...

Please help me, I'm in an Internet Cafe trying to get this thing to work :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] rapsucks10:
Thank You so much, aparentely that do the trick!!!
