I get MAJOR LAG after about 24-36 hours of phone being non-restarted. I have to pull the battery it's so bad.

Tried another kernel, and I got the same.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I've had the same thing with Launcher Pro on all the GB roms I have tried.

If you get it, try rotating the phone horizontal and back to vertical again, that usually takes care of it for me. Re-install probably isn't going to change anything, never has for me.

You will also probably get a blackscreen from Launcher Pro whenever memory is getting short and you have run a ram thirsty program, and go back to home.

This has been my experience regarding the charging bug, maybe someone can try this to confirm. I plug my phone in at night, if I unlock the phone after it has a full charge, i notice that the phone starts to discharge, even if it's still plugged in. I might check an email or check facebook or do a few things with the cable still plugged in and after all that I remove the cable I notice the phone has lost battery as if it wasn't plugged in. If I plug it and let it do a full charge, don't touch it then just unplug the cable I notice it has consistently been at 98%. I've had the same results on all 9000 roms. the only good one with this issue was kf1
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
it wasn't this bad on mosaic, especially on start up.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
how did you like miui?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You will need to place them in wallpaper chooser apk. Just noticed your sig which says custom animation broken since 8.3, because DC uses name bootanimation.zip instead of sanim.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
yup. I do I do
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
WHICH KERNEL have you tried?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
then i think i m the lucky one...or may be i dont hav too many apps runnin in background....so no memory problems..so i m fine

are you on talon?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Talon 17 and Darky's
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Installed LP pro and rebooted 4 times to test this. I go straight to homescreen. Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hmm with Talon .17 it seems to be a known issue. not the case with darkcore though
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
i m using DC...

same as it says on my signature.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I think the "black screen" is just LauncherPro lagging with memory or cache issues. There is a big thread on the author's website about the lag issue.

The more stuff (widgets, icons) you have setup, the worse it is I think.

There are some LauncherPro settings in Preferences that might help, but I haven't experimented with them.
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
I used BatteryCalibration by Nema from the market, which is recommended everytime you flash a new rom, it deletes the file batterystats.bin, then I added the following steps:

While ON, charge to 100%, unplug it, turn OFF

While OFF plug back and let it charge to 100%. unplug

Turn back on, Plug again.. it did really good on my Cappy Apex 9.1 DC 3.0, I have also tested with .17 Talon and I get same battery life...using Tegrak to OC to 1.3 GHZ I don't know if it makes any difference but I normally use PC USB plug
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Flashing a wipe rom already deletes batterystats.bin that's why it is suggested to flash at 100$... this app is useless
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
That's that what I was told awhile back, however; ever since I started using it, that battery problem never came back.

No matter what this app does, what I say is true.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I hear what you're saying froli, and I believe you, trust me, you know way more than I do, but I look through this thread and others and it's always full with wangs and their battery problems, it probably does nothing, you're right, and maybe I just have enough common sense to charge my phone early in the evening and not leave it charging overnight so the "charge bug" never affects me, I'm charged fully at bedtime and I make it easily to the next evening when I do it all over again. Maybe it's just common sense that I've never had the charge bug, or maybe it's battery calibration app, maybe it's pixi dust, but I've never had the issue.

btw, flashed 9.1, going to keep DC for the moment and get everything stable and installed to my liking. real nice, real smooth thus far. not going to update the sig till i get things settled on my end.

tnx for the post and love the support you all deliver. great work, keep it rollin.

Color for the menu softkey menu?

This is a picture when running Go Launcher EX which I just started using but the menu is grey with other launchers as well - I attached a screenshot.

I know it sounds like a picky item but for some reason I hate grey menu settings. I tried Go launcher themes, matted blues, and blues but the menu is grey with every launcher. Is there any theme that will change that or can someone tell me what files control the color and icons that show?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You would have to modify images inside Go Launcher apk.
[Captivate Android Development] Crash:
Where i have to place this file system/etc ?

EDIT: DONE THANKS
[Captivate Android Development] 7JS14:
I'm currently creating themes for Go Launcher and will be publishing them in the market, hopefully soon. As of right now I am working on a Matted Blues Go Launcher Theme and I changed pretty much everything... icons, docks, tabs, menu, etc...

Other themes I'm planning on making is a minimalistic glass theme and a Lamborghini theme. If anyone has any other more ideas, give me a shout.

Thanks :)

Why does settings/apps/running services have one number for ram usage and task manger another. Also running services lists less total?

i threw the 900X800jpg in. recovery. cleared cache/dalvik for overkill. reboot.

i did see dup piks in the folder of a diff size. do i need to include a 170x142jpg in as well under the same name followed by *****_small.jpg? just doing some testing with the wallz this round and trying to get that part of my customization learning curve down. tnx ahead of time.

btw, i follow some google-search advice and copied/pasted to the sd, opened(not unzipped) the twwallpaper_chooser and inserted two piks in, is there a specific way to save that inside the apk or does it get placed auto-matically inside? seemed kinda loose for my tastes. of course i have pulled it back out and opened it to confirm it being inside the apk or not, lol. running on short time, the woman is shaking me up at the crack of dawn and just getting my Cappy fix for the week in one shot, lol.

Will do. Just tried gps and got a lock with 8/9 sats in under 10 secs on an overcast am. Have not gone for a drive yet but so far am pleased. Will prolly flash glitterballs 1280 kernel - that one works so well on my rom. Battery seems fine - nothing for me to worry about. Me likey

Just flashed this ROM with SuckerPunch kernel and it's blazing fast! (Didn't restore my apps yet though...) I'll report later if everything works good.

It looks good so far ;)
[Captivate Android Development] erik077:
Does it 4G works on this rom?

Are u looking for a HTC EVO 4G ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I removed most of the Samsung crap and it's really fast! Everything works so far. Didn't test GPS yet... I have already gave up on this, so it would not be an issue if not good.

It's too early to judge battery life, but I'm confident it will be great since I always have stellar battery life with SuckerPunch kernel.

Thanks for this ROM! :)

As far as speed goes i am able to get 1250-1300 scores in quadrant without any lagfix.. Not that it matters much

Benchmarks scores are lower for me with this ROM compared to others I've tried but it feels way smoother and snappier. Just to prove that people should not rely on benchmarks test ;)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try flashing back to speedmod 13c that comes with stock and u will get 1250+ score in quadrant. but i see it isnt imp to u and rightly so :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I get 1500 in quadrant with this rom plus SuckerPunch kernel but I got 1700 with Serendipity 14.5 in linpack compared to 16.5

But like I said, I don't mind about benchmark results... :p

I'll stick with this rom for awhile ;)

Battery

Watsaa,

Since I just flashed the circle unlock, I just altered the battery readings by plugging into the computer/usb. It changed my "time since unplugged".

I can do it again tomorrow but I turned the phone on at 0100. Up at 0700 and it was at 91%. I had exchange email and gmail on with 3G and sound off-vibrate only. So there is 6 hours of standby.

I have been using it all day (12 hours, email, phone calls, several texts. Took some movies also)) and it is down to 38%.

Plugged in to do the circle mod and the stats have changed but it is very good battery life. :) At least it is more than I will use in a 24 hour period.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
good to hear that xpak.. so your GO-TO ROM impresses you more? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yes, the Go-To-Rom is good to go. I will use this as my daily!

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
well thats what i am trying to do.. a ROM that is daily driver for us, minimal(read as no non sense) themed with most of the features included in it.. even GPS works for most if not all.

and some of you are liking it makes me happy
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:

[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
I really can't wait until this Android OS bug is fixed.

Anyone know which kernel allows for the lowest brightness?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
talon. reboot to stop android os rampage. whats the usage btw?
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Yea. I reboot whenever I notice it happening but sometimes when I'm not using my phone it can go out of control. For example, it was in my gym bag today for 3 hours and it went nuts. Dropped like 30% of my battery. Didn't even have the screen on.

It can get up to 15-20% sometimes instead of its usual 5-7%

Its just aannoying. I wish Samsung would release/leak a build with a fix.

Using Talon now-thx for the suggestion. The brightness is pretty close to speedmod back in the froyo days. Hopefully I can squeeze a few more hours of battery with the minimum brightness. That and I won't blind myself when I check my phone in the middle of the night
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Well one of the reason could be cached processes

Try seeing memory used by cached processes:

menu> settings> applications> running services> menu> show cached processes

Running applications tab shows unused ram PLUS memory taken by cached processes. These cached processes can be automatically ended when needed, thats why this memory is also taken into account. Task manager does not seem to account for this memory
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
:) Seems like decades ago, eh?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I thought you had to do a battery pull for 5-10 minutes to get rid of the android os problem, maybe I'm mistaken, worth a shot tho. I only had it once.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Nice, that explains it, I ask because I I've stripped a ton of what I consider bloat and I'd like to see what the difference is vs stock apex.

Stupid question of the day...

Quick question: can I flash directly from 8.3 to 9.1 or should I flash 9.0 first then 9.1? I assume from the website that these are NOT update patches but full incremental roms, I just want to check first.

Thanks. Apologies if this is already asked...

flash 9.1 directly from 8.3 CWM. But remember it is a wipe version so backup your data first

Thanks! Love me some Apex. Trying our Launcher now, really like the way you styled it, just figured out that the MMS dock launcher doesn't go to MMS, to my delight I see that is fixed in 9.x.
