stuck on the boot animated screen

Hi,

after reading the whole thread, I concluded this rom is probably the best these days, so I decided to install it.

I went to stock rom using odin, and followed all the procedure.

Finally I get into the main screen and then I went to titan backup, restored all the "apps + data" (not system data, but "data") as the instructions said, and then decided to reboot, and NOW I'M STUCK WITH THIS BLUE BEE SHAKING WINGS (and every some minuts, the cellphone vibrates for a sec while the animation keeps running normally)

what can I do from here?

please help me out

UPDATE: Alright, I did the key combo, so I get into the clockwork recovery mode, and reinstalled the room, but my question now is, what can I do to restore my apps + data and not getting stuck again on the animation screen?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It looks like after you restored your apps and data using titanium backup this problem started. Something is force closing after the boot animation and i believe this may be due to some system app or data being updated by TiBU. Please scan your list again and see if by mistake you have included something that shouldnt be there
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
Just an update. I've been running 3.1 on my wife's and my phone since it came out. Everything's been working great. Battery life is solid after properly calibrating the battery. I keep checking to see if there is anythin Ican tweak to make it better. Feels weird that I dont have to and am now really enjoying the phone.

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Good to hear feedbacks like this :cool: btw did u get a chance to try GPS? that is one thing that seems to be some sort of an issue, i am trying different settings in GPS before coming out with a good fix. Not many people have reported back GPS behaviour
[Captivate Android Development] thundermonkey:
I have been running Twingerbread and haven't had issues with the GPS. This is with a RMA Captivate since the original one I got on day one was GPS hardware defective. Build 1009
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Well the answer would really depend on what all apps and data you are trying to restore. I would advice to skip system app/data
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You are very lucky then if GPS works for you :D lol
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
If you want even better battery life, try a OC/UV kernel. If you have good UV settings it will save you some precious battery life!

Also, you can use an app like JuiceDefender or something similar. You can set it to turn off data and/or wifi while screen is off and things like that. Allow scheduled connection for email, etc.

And by the way, I just noticed I was quoted in the OP! :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You sir are en esteemed user of this ROM :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
And proud to be! :D haha
[Captivate Android Development] keithzorz:
I absolutely love this rom. I was previously on cog 4.1 and tried this a few days ago. Thanks for the rom watsaa.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
good to see that people coming from a great ROM like Cog are also enjoying Twinger, i may have done something good then :cool: lol
[Captivate Android Development] tritran18518:
about gps, i have to say my phone lock gps signal really fast ( 4-6s, with 5,6 satellite ) However, when i'm driving with google navigation turn on, gps signal drops/delay sometimes ( same with my previous phoenix rom, maybe this is samsung problem, not the rom )
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks for your feedback. I am working on various settings to see what improves navigation. So far Plumbob GPS fix .84 has given me best results. but thats just me again and i dont trust captivate GPS :(
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I see that you are on a promotion spree for Twinger, thanks :D
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
I've applied PlumbBob's GPS fix (plumbBob-gps-fix-0.8.4b-USA.zip). It seems to have helped getting a fix faster and when indoors. It also helps get a lock in the car when it's not in the Windshield GPS holder, so I say it has helped a bit. Leaving it in the GPS holder gives pretty darn good accuracy although I still get overshoot and drifting in Google Maps/Navigation. I've never had accurate GPS like I did on my last smartphone (Tilt 1). I've given up hope on truly functional GPS on this phone a while back. When I want accurate GPS I use an old external Bluetooth GPS (that I used with my iMate JAM back in the day) with the Bluetooth GPS app.

Let me know if you want a guinea pig to test GPS stuff out for you. I have a 1007 build phone. I've had to get my wife's replaced 3 times already. I think she just has a curse where when she touches electronics they just stop working properly, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am going to be the guinea pig for most of the part. Thanks for volunteering and i will let u know when i need another pig :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
GPS "Fixes" never fixed anything for me, and something it would get things even worst... The only time I got a fully working GPS was when I was running the stock Rogers 2.1 ROM that came with my phone. Since I started flashing custom ROMs and now my GPS is almost unusable.

Even when I flashed the official froyo ROM from Rogers I had very bad GPS. (Maybe because I didn't master cleared though)

I think it's useless to try every settings possible, maybe it's just the "flashing process" that screws up the GPS... Like I said, GPS was PERFECT when I got my Rogers Captivate. So it can't be hardware related like some people think...

I think devs should take a look at the stock 2.1 Rogers ROM for GPS settings/file. Maybe there something good in there...
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
If anyone is interested and wants to save some time, I cooked with UOT a honeycomb battery mod (for Apex 6.2).
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. Yes buddy the kernel information is right. why would u think that it is incorrect?

2. Clear data for TW launcher, then try removing screens from preferences menu.

3. No idea about this one. try another SIM card maybe and see if that works? try pullling both sim & battery out may be? you can reflash it again on top on 6.2 by going into recovery mode
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Watsaa

Glad you are back. I woke up this morning after a binder. I thought "either I am still being effected or my phone is really smoking today". I had to redo the home page and was wondering what I did last night to the phone :rolleyes:

I saw I loaded ApeX 6.2. It is really working great.

Thanks for the work on it.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
BT

I just connected my BT speaker (Motorola EQ5) to the phone and the phone rebooted. It is now connected to the speaker and working, just letting you know.

Boot loader link is down.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
just flashed a theme from continuum it worked nicely, it was the ginger green theme, has battery percentage in taskbar
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The link was wrong. should work now
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yup, it's working.
[Captivate Android Development] erickgoldner:
1. My bad. I thought i've read that it used another kernel.

2. Setting it from the Preferences, screenCount options seems to do the trick!

Changing it straight from the Edit doesn't seem to save.

3. Well, my SIM card is gone. Tested it on another cel and didn't recognized it also, so i've get another one.

I wonder if has anything to do with the fact that i flashed with it in last night. I've always remove because i usually get back to stock JF6, but since there was no need for that this time i completely forgot to remove.

Thanks for the reply.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I always flash with SIM card in and I never had problems, I have the same card for the past 3 years.
[Captivate Android Development] erickgoldner:
Must be a weird coincidence then...

Grandelama, thanks for the battery mod. Working perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
Is gps working for you guys?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just added a blue accurate battery mod to OP, if someone needs it
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
Not working on mine. Everything else is great.
[Captivate Android Development] nh5:
Having trouble getting Apex 6.2 to boot. Flashed according to instructions redid the bootloaders and all even though I came from continuum. Keeps rebooting at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I've let it sit for about 15 minutes keeps doing the same thing. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try to download the ROM again and then flash it. dont kill me but this might be a bad download
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Flashing this rom over continuum would have been okay. You can flash any GT-i9000 gingerbread rom over any GT-i9000 gingerbread rom.

You need to change the bootloaders only if coming from froyo or another gingerbread port (Like CM7 and MIUI) And vice-versa.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Nope............................
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I had that exactly. When I was installing the ROM, my phone went black for some reason, then when i went back into recovery, all my partitions were messed up. so when i started up my phone, it would just hang at GT-i9000. I just went back to stock JF6, reflashed the bootloaders, talon then apex. it worked after that. i thought it was just me when that all happened.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I just updated my MattedBlues theme for ApeX 6.3 (Also works with 6.2)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050757

I'm about to just give up on this phone. I've been running apex for a while on 5.3. Updated with each version no problem. Figured i would try the gb version tonight. None of my computers will recognize it. I'm so fed up with it. I have no usb options in any of my menus and it simply will not connect. i have tried reinstalling drivers, different cables...everything

How come gps doesn't work? do I need to flash a different modem?

havent done anything on GPS yet. will have to pull some working files from 5.3 and see if using them in 6.3 helps
[Captivate Android Development] :
Which kernel should I flash for a lagfix? I was looking at Darky's kernels, but I'm not sure which kernel, or if this is the best one.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I think the included talon kernel is the best available so far... Remember that you need a JVO kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] rivtre:
xcal with voodoo or Talon with chain's ext4 app will do.

BTW quick question here.Is Continuum v5's theme compatible with Apex 6.3?I mean both of them are JVO base ,I think there's possibility.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i know someone posted today that he was able to get the green theme from continuum to work on ApeX.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What theme are you looking for?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
watsaa, is it okay to use this version of talon with ApeX?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14040712&postcount=1289

It needs to change services.jar, will it break something?
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Waatsa welcome back

was waiting (worried :/ )for your upgrades. I hope to flash l8r tonite.

I see you have the stay awake in development option, a while back you said you would look into it and see if you could make it stay checked thru a reboot. Seems to me that is the way it should work.

Either way will be on ApeX soon
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
KIK'ed u... lol
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
One day i will fix it for sure :D

[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I don't see where there is any problem using this version of Talon with Apex. I have been using it for hours now with no problems at all. As a matter of fact, Apex has been running extremely smoothly for me so far. I had to uninstall TW launcher due to lag, but I prefer Sony launcher anyways. The only issue I have run into is using the UOT.kitchen to theme. Everything is fine excretory for the to notification bar. It becomes all blurry upon reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I was sure the kernel would work. My doubts were about the services.jar

Flashed both and works great so far
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
any problems in connecting to BT or wifi?
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
My wifi and bt connects just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Wifi is fine. I don't know about bt. I don't use it. :p
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
being that i love your work and everyting else worked so far :cool: ( email, voice in swype, etc without any tweaking :cool: ) i hope you get it working as that will be a deal breaker :( with telanav the gps became a usable function and i use it alot

Ive tried most the other gb roms, the gps worked well on all of em. I'm sure you will have it working in no time :D

will hold out untill next road trip.
[Captivate Android Development] rafsi:
Not sure what I am missing.. But I tried Google Navigation this morning and it works just fine on this ROM (6.3)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The GPS files are 100% what samsung has included in JVO base. If GPS works for you then you are one of the lucky few :D

The irony is it worked for me too and now i dont know what to fix.. lol
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Do you see the GPS icon at the top when you use Google Maps for example? I usually see that icon when it is fixing my position. It doesn't ever seem like it gets a fix on my position with "use wireless networks" off and GPS on. I wonder what's different in your case...
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I fixed my gps few hours ago with the attached patch...everything has been working fine so far.

Other patches were working too, but JVO_GPS_from_JV9 broke compass.
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
That works for me as well but nor the twitter or MySpace one I do use those ..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
working on it sir :)
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
Thanks watsaa...
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Thanks, that works. I guess it was a JVO issue after all. Now everything looks good. Maybe watsaa should include this in the next update ;)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes i will, just hoping that it doesnt break my already working GPS :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks buddy for reporting this. I have updated OP with a pointer to this post.

I have been seeing this floating around.

I have flashed cezars "safe jf6" (no bootloaders), and it will indeed run with gingerbread bootloaders.

[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
Well GPS fix on the OP didn't work for me I know I will need Navigation in July so I hope it gets fix ... o.0
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Watsaa is there a way to get the mms to have sent time instead of received time? Actually both would be nice but I don't think that's possible O:-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I know there are some apps in market for this. one of them is 'sms timestamper' something. If that doesn't work i should be able to get it working my modding mms.apk
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Thanks. Will try it. In the reviews of that app some were stating that it causes double mssgs will keep you posted how it goes. :D

Edit: So have had about 10 incoming so far and it gives both the time sent and recieved and have not had any double postings :D

Now if only can get the Stay Awake option stay thru a reboot :rolleyes:

Should the SGSII mail client be compatible across all JVO ROMs or is something special required? I really love the client but i am doing some kernel testing for Existz because i have a talon laggy phone. I have issues with the two clients that are available on continuum, one wont search and the other never decreases the unread count. I get hundreds of work emails a day so you can imagine the problems this causes.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You would just need the 2 apk's i.e if you want the email widget too
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
when i load them in it force closes immediately. I copied both APK's over. so strange. I even did a full one click restore and went from there.
[Captivate Android Development] byrdtulsa:
Question... When i restore app from titanium backup. After reset they are greyed out...sayin not installed
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I know other people who had this problem went back to stock and then flashed ApeX. It solved the problem for them
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yea strange it is.. Let me see if these was a dependency on any of the lib
[Captivate Android Development] purplebear:
Any update? Just installed Apex 6.3 and Music 3.0, and I still get FC immediately.

What is the widget in the third screenshot?
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
i one clicked and followed the procedure for GB. When i install continuum i get a fully functional phone. When i install apex I have no modem. Baseband is unknown. Flashing any modem yields no results at all. I re-downloaded and re-flashed. same results. I went back to Continuum because, obviously, i need the phone part of the phone. It says no service and has a circle with a slash through it where the bars would be.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you might want to try pulling ur sim/battery out. also just double check if the package that u downloaded had modem in updates folder. Not sure what else can be the problem
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thats xperia arc status switch. had to pull it out from 6.3 because it was giving some issues
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
thanks. where can i get it?

You can extract it from the 6.2 archive. It's probably under /system/app/

Hi

Just flashed ApeX for the first time coming from a buggered cm7...finally decided to try something new while they work things out with the radio there...but anyways...Is there any way to get BLN working with the stock Apex kernel, or should I flash a different one and if so, is there a standard feature packed JVO kernel that most use if not running stock?

Cheers!

So I've been using this rom for a couple of days. I've noticed that my battery life isn't perfect. It does a lot of battery drainage. Is it a Gingerbread issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
Here no drainage at all...actually I'm experiencing a very good battery life (and MUCH better than any froyo build). It seems as good as any other recent gingerbread build.

I'm on latest Talon 0.17 test version, little UV, zsjpg modem. ~3%/h drop with light usage some music and weather/facebook/mail/twitter sync...

[Captivate Android Development] apockalupsis:
hey, I'm diggin the GB - although I was hesitant to flash, I decided to go for it after Swype stopped working on 5.3. only issue I'm noticing is that battery life seems worse on this 6.3 with the numeric battery mod, whereas on 6.2 it was great. not sure whether it actually is worse, or whether it's just an issue with the indicator, or whether I just notice it going down and it seems faster because I see the numbers... but I don't think it's the third of those options, since I was getting great long life from charges on 6.2 and now it seems like there is significant battery drain overnight.

just wanted to report back, really... otherwise the rom is great and I'm still getting OK battery life. any suggestions though? anyone else noticing this? is this an issue like with other ROMs where it should disappear after a few charge cycles? should I try clearing battery stats cache? if so would people recommend clearing the cache when it's fully charged or when it's almost discharged?
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I didn't touch anything. I never have modified a ROM before and dont plan on starting now LOL. I just grabbed it and sent it on its way.

Anyways, if you are on a GB ROM now just try and flash Apex on top of it without going to stock. How does KC1 modem work for you
