watsa, ever thought about replacing the camera icon with SGS2's camera icon like you did with contacts/browser/phone/mms? just a thought.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Are most of you guys using Talon kernel with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] metalfangs:
Did you not look at the poll at the top of the thread?
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Excuse my stupidity, I did see it but I was seeking some actual up-to-date written reviews on the use of that kernel with this ROM. I should have made myself more clear, please forgive me. I am so very stupid.

Happy?
[Captivate Android Development] metalfangs:
Why did that offend you? Yes you should have made yourself more clear. I apologize for trying to help.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol its a matter of choice. If you want a kernel with almost all features built in then dont look beyond Talon, but if you want a stockish kernel then DC. I personally use Talon with topiratiko's settings
[Captivate Android Development] AreikUSA:
Mine Does it to, sometimes 2 or 3 times before i get it to stay up.
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
Those poll results are pretty old. I think it was around Apex 8.0?

Also, TalonDEV was the default kernel that came with the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] bubba9004:
I went ahead reflashed Paragon, GB bootloaders one click worked afterwards. Then proceeded to follow the rest of your instructions and got it working.

I'm going to have to really get used to the change of themes. As I was using the Steelblue theme forever on my previous roms, I really liked all the blue in it. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything similar to it or know of a way to get it to work with this one?

Do you need both email apps running? Since I started using a3rd party email app, I froze the stock one. It looks like you have stock and k9 running at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
watsa, I hate to ask this but is there a chance that a JVS-based ApeX will be released this weekend? I am currently running Pinnacle 1.2 and for an unknown reason my phone has randomly rebooted at least 5 times in the past 3 days. I'm currently oncall for work and need something more stable so I might just have to load ApeX 9.3 today unless you think I should wait another day or two. Besides, I love Voodoo Color more than I care about the Audience chip.

Thanks,

You can load 9.3

So I finally made the switch from Serendipity VII over to Apex 9.3 I had no idea what I was missing!!! I am TRULY VERY IMPRESSED overall with Apex and the multitude of capabilities this ROM demonstrates. Flashing was a BREEZE since I already had I9000 bootloaders. It's REALLY nice to have a lot of Samsung features back that I had forgot I was missing - and this ROM has SO much more color in general to it than SVII had. Don't get me wrong - I loved Serendipity but I am in LOVE with my phone ALL OVER again now that I have flashed Apex! I'm quite pleased that I made the switch! Thank you Watsa for your immense efforts in creating a truly astounding ROM! :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks :) good to hear something nice after a series of random reboot reports in pinnacle land :(
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Dont let it get you down Watsa. Thats why its an UNOFFICIAL leaked build. It has issues in its base....you can only polish a turd so much.... :D
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I thought you couldn't freeze/remove the stock email app because parts of it were used by other things?

(I actually asked this question myself a few days ago but got no response, so this is a good opportunity to ask again)
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Apex 9.3 + Talon 0.5.1.1 = Awesomeness!

Thanks Watsa!
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
I'm not entirely sure if this addresses the same issue that you two are talking about, but I've got the stock email app and gmail app. gmail is the one I use as I have a gmail account ;) I checked the stock email app after I read your posts and there is no account set up in it. It's blank. I remember (barely) back in the old Eclair days of setting up the stock email app with my gmail account and then when I would access my Gmail App, it would have double entries (emails). After flashing several times and not paying any attention to the stock email app, everything runs fine without having an account setup in the stock email app. So I guess what I'm saying is if you've got more than one email app on your phone, you might try deleting your account in the stock app in favor of the 3rd party one. idk, but I don't have any problems with mine. :o
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I would just freeze it and not delete it
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Oh absolutely. :) I don't actually delete anything (although I know many do). I use "freeze" exclusively.

I just wanted to confirm that I wasn't going to break anything. I freeze lots of other apps, but had not touched the stock email app due to earlier dependency issues. I use K9, personally.
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
Ok. I know this is a weird question but...

I love Apex. But I need to do a warranty return of my phone. My USB port has cracked. It still works though.

Which means, I need to revert to stock. Like, right all the way to an AT&T approved version. Including bootloader.

I can't seem to find info on "going back" from a 2.3 ROM to a 2.2 Stock.. Particularly the bit about reverting bootloader. I did find a ROM flasher for stock, but lots of dire warnings that tools that revert bootloaders brick phones :P

Anyone happen to have a clue here? I'll be back as fast as I can after the exchange :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Use Odin one click to 2.1 it includes bootloaders. Then if you really need, use kies to updrade to 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Does ATT really look the deeply into phone to see what OS version your using? I warrantied a phone replacement that had a custom Rom on it without any issues.

Cracked usb sounds like a hardware issue, why would they care if your phone is stock if all they are fixing is the usb? Just saying ;)

But if you really want to return to stock, look here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Are you using exchange/hotmail/activesync in stock email? If so, Turn off calendar sync and the battery will be normal. Turn off push email to save even more battery.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Question for ANYONE who may know this answer. I have searched this thread to no avail and perhaps there isn't an answer but here goes.... is it possible to remove the 5 icon dock once you've already installed it or no?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you have ROM on your PC pull touchwiz30launcher.apk from system/app and add it to system/app on your phone using root explorer
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
I do! That's perfect. I was kinda thinking it was something along those lines but I just wanted to confirm. Thanks Watsa for the UBER fast response!
[Captivate Android Development] m37h:
Is it just me or the music control on the lock screen doesn't work?
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
They want to run me through the whole script before agreeing it seems.. which is involving getting info from the Settings screen on phone version, etc... So I want to make sure I get that "right".

That link looks like the one I was having issues finding. thanks! *bookmarked*
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
So Touchwiz REALLY didn't like that - the Samsung Home now only shows 3 icons... Phone, Contacts and Apps and the Messaging app isn't in the app list to add back into the dock. Think I should just reflash the ROM?

EDIT: I recopied the app and rebooted numerous times - all with the same results.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Might be a good idea.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Clear data/cache for samsung home from settings
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Will give it a try now. Thanks again.

EDIT: Tried it - to no avail. Its weird. When I reboot and choose Samsung Home all the icons are there but, once I touch Apps the Message icon disappears. Guess the best thing to do is reflash and NOT install the 5 icon dock! LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] minlee85:
yes... i actually need calendar sync...but i'll turn off and see happens..

I can't add it manually. The Message app for some strange reason doesn't show up in the App drawer - I had thought the same thing. No big deal. I will just reflash and start fresh. I really hadn't set EVERYTHING up so I'm not worried about starting over.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
That only works with the donate version of tibu :(

Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache from recovery first

Hey watsa, for the MMS show sent time instead of received time, there's this mini guide and APKs here, but there's too flaws with it. One is that it's not themed, and two is that it requires the GMT time offset app from Market. Would you able to incorporate it into Apex 10 and all your future releases? Or maybe even do that as a side optional upgrade kinda thing just in case people don't like that feature?

This is really no big deal - I'm just a bit OCD when it comes to stupid things but I ended up having to flash back to stock JF6 and reflash Apex again... for some reason now - the 2 secret live wallpapers aren't showing up. Anyone know the names of the file(s) so I can find them in the ROM zip on my PC to install them? All I see is Live Wallpapers.apk... under /system/app - is that the file?

No quadrant score is normal imo. You can see if lagfix is enable in Voodoo control app.

So i wish i could keep this ROM because i love it but it keeps locking up on me when i try to watch Netflix or play Angry Birds Seasons. It will freeze and then just reboot. I followed all the instructions to a T like choosing the MIUI lockscreen and a custom app. I even tried other kernels and nothing is helping. I want to keep it and maybe its just user error but I'm not sure what else i can do. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
About launchers. I think that just about all the 3rd party launchers are better than the stock TW.

I too prefer quickpic, but I don't think that means removing the option for others. The only exception to that is if an app is causing problems for a lot if people. TW4 seems to fall into that category. Many have reported lag/reboots with it. But when watsa took it out, people started crying they wanted it back. What are you gonna do, from a developer standpoint? You can't win either way.And that sucks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
and thats going to happen again :(

TW4 is out of 10.0 however there is a new TW4 add-on with few modifications in framework.jar.. I am thinking that this time it will be more stable, but dont want to hear reports of lag/freeze etc
