No that's a soft brick. Like watsaa said, he just have to plug his phone to the computer and run

adb reboot download
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Ok, some early impressions of 7.1 (as someone who jumped from 5.3):

- For the most part, things are fine

- I think I have the charging bug. Damnit. Left it on and plugged-in last night, woke up this morning to find it off (but charged). Did it charge, die, then charge again?

- Most of my stuff from Titanium Backup restored fine. I'm coming across the random app that FCs when you try and run it though. This has never happened before. Deleting it, reinstalling fresh from the market then just restoring the data from TB seems to fix it. Strange issue though that has not happened before. If this is indeed a TB issue then we should get the author involved... I've found him very responsive in the past when I've talked with him.

- Takes a very long time to boot up for some reason (not just first boot. Every boot)

- Some of my widgets (I use LauncherPro) keep having trouble loading upon reboot. I remove them and re-add them, but next reboot they have issues again. Haven't pursued a lot yet since it takes so long to boot.

- Keep forgetting to test GPS, need to do that since that's one of my constant issues.

- Miss the battery percentage, but understand it'll come back and/or a patch will be made available for 7.1

There's still a lot more I need to check out and test... I've only had it running about a day and very little time was available during that to play around.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
You're not totally screwed. Same thing happened to me. Definately order the jig, but in the meantime there is a fix. Let me dig it up, and I'll post it for you.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
I'm actually getting random Reboots.. with Plain Vanilla Apex 7.1 using the Sony Launcher u included. Usually its when I switch on Wifi (Not all the time), and Today When I was playing some youtube Video. Not a big deal.. but just an fyi.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The wifi reboot is a known bug, if u see the Talon OP.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
From what i have seen so far scrolling is smoother on JS7, GPS seems to have improved a bit over JS5 but this is subjective, better standby usage of battery..

EDIT: The demonic voice on ESPN radio is still a problem
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
No Prob, I can always just add a working browser.apk

So themes HAS to be for JS7 ...none of the JS5 stuff works?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks for pointing out the bug with ESPN radio..

Is it possible for you to share the fix for those demonic voices? I can include it in future release. Is it just the browser.apk? Cant test right now as i am in office :(

The JS5 themes may work specially the ones which have all framework files included in them
[Captivate Android Development] justmart:
Can u share that browser.apk?

So I lost my boot animation so I thought it was something I did. I reflashed and did a full boot. Back into recovery, flashed SuckerPunch-Voodoo #6, full boot and animation is already gone. Restart phone through power menu.... boot animation still gone.

It appears as if changing the kernel to SuckerPunch-Voodoo breaks the boot animation.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Maybe the suckerpunch has fallen in love with the fat bumblee bee lol

I will take a look at this and report back

EDIT: this is strange though
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That is the way I used to do it not sure if others are doing more.

This browser was taken from Paragon. I think he credited me for the fix but I just found out about it and told him...not like I invented it....I guess I did put on some decent research :)

Hope that works...18mins to go before I can install this ROM...cant wait!

Claro boricua aca esta..let me know if it works!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I will also give u the credit if this works :D
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
The 'demonic voices' in Flash content is related to the stagefright library files. You can copy them from any ROM that doesn't exhibit the problem. Browser.apk is unrelated to the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Hahaha nice...now I just need a donate money to me link JK :D

If it does not , when I get home I will look for the file I used originally in case it has been changed.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
+1 I myself do not like the green gingerbread theme..... I'll wait to try til then....
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I remember reading that before but I also recall changing the browser apk and that taking care of it so if that included there ? I am not a dev or chef so I have no idea...I just know it worked that time..long time ago so I might be mixing things up which is NOT uncommon for me! :eek:

I am going to be testing some JS5 themes when done installing.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thank you guys for your inputs, I will figure out the fix for ESPN radio and add it to next version

JS7 seems great! But I'll wait for the blue theme before flashing 4.0 though...

Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Have you tried JPG modem with this version?

I had some weird issues.... I flashed to di11i's rom... and could not use KP1, JVE, JPG.... 850 would not work no matter what..... I even flashed 3 different kernels.

Something is getting effected by the DEV's in the ROMS....

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I use Paragon kernel which is my favorite one and it is super smooth with this ROM. More tests to come but so far I like it! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Sqb:
Tried three times. Each time back to stock first. Will try downloading fresh versions of all. I'm just as confused

SqB
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Here's what you have to do to fix your problem:

1. Plug your USB cable into the computer, but not the phone.

2. Remove battery then put it back in.

3. Hold volume down and power button at the same time.

4. Keep holding both buttons and those symbols will come back.

Here's where it gets tricky.

5. After about 7 seconds, your screen will go black for about a second and a half.

6. AS SOON AS THE SCREEN IS BLACK FOR THIS VERY SHORT PERIOD, keep holding the down volume button but let go of the power button, AND plug in the USB to your phone. You have a very, very small window to do this. It will take you a number of attempts, but it will eventually work.
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
For LP, make sure you select "Keep in memory" in Preferences/General Settings. It alleviates the issue for the most part.

For TiBu, I have found that you have to restore with the exact version you backed up with. I have had no issues with restorals on this ROM.

I have the charging bug as well.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I'm getting random reboots as well, usually when playing music (hard reboot, SGS and talon kernel splash show) but sometimes when the phone is locked and idle (soft reboot, only android boot animation shows). Not sure if it's my OC/UV settings or a kernel bug.

Have yet to experience WiFi toggle reboots, but I usually leave it on.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Can you try on "normal" voltage and frequencies?
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
I just flashed Xcals Reorient for JVP.. Lets see if that eliminates the issue. Just for kicks (timepass).. cos the re-boots are very minimal. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Been running great for 3 days, no problems other than can't get Hulu Plus to run. Anyone has it running?
[Captivate Android Development] sharp1114:
I flashed from 5.2 to 7.1 last night. The issues I'm having are as follows;

1) The boot screen is pixilated and has no recognizable features until the android animation comes up, then the colorful screen of death comes back until the system comes up.

2) The phone won't allow me into recovery mode. Whether I go through ROM Manager or reboot it from scratch, it won't let me in. What it does is go to the main screen for ATT, gives me a pixilated screen, then does nothing.

I'm afraid I'll have to unroot the phone and root from scratch. I love the new ROM and want to keep using it. If there's any way to avoid that, could you gues let me know. If you think I should clear the cache, please include instructions, because I don't know how (I'm an idiot). Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Hello buddy, Did u follow the steps from OP? There is a step (Step 6) for flashing bootloaders, i am thinking u have missed that out
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I do have that checked.

I did. Right before I flashed Apex 7.1, I did a backup with the latest version of TB. That was then the same version I used to restore as I went to the market to download the latest which was newer than the one bundled with Apex.

Well, bugger. As I know this isn't unique to Apex, is there some generic thread somewhere where devs are discussing this and I can watch progress?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
As in stock freq and no UV? I could yea, but what fun is that? :D The reboots are infrequent enough to not really bother me. I played music for ~3 hours yesterday without issue, but today I got a reboot within 15 minutes. Not running any other significant background process. I'm wondering if it's due to the scaler letting the frequency run up to the kernel maximum even when the max freq is set to a lower frequency.

If it gets any worse, I'll go back to the stock ApeX talon kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] recumbentrider:
I had same problem with pixelated screen. Pushed Cezar's AT&T bootloaders rebooted all was good.
[Captivate Android Development] sharp1114:
Where can I find that? Is it a ROM, program, etc.....? If it is a ROM or mod, how do I install it if I can't get to the root menu?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
U mean u had problems with bootloaders attached in Apex OP?
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
I haven't seen a specific thread, just scattered throughout various ROM/Kernel threads.
[Captivate Android Development] recumbentrider:
Watsaa no problem with OP. Was my screw up. I was flashing addict this week.
[Captivate Android Development] recumbentrider:
Look in development thread. Titled At&t bootloaders. Use Odin to install.
[Captivate Android Development] sharp1114:
Will that also fix the failure to get me into the root menu? I'm guessing it will.
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Also the new Att Bootloaders (GB2.3) for Captivate have new key combination... Just like froyo.

Vol UP + Vol Down + Power = Recovery

Vol UP + Vol Down + USB insert = Download

So you can install and use the AT&T bootloaders while already running this rom? Sry for the lame question. Been deprived of sleep for 2 days now.

I've read more and more that a complete flashback is senseless, so just looking to see if I can flash forward to A7.1. Thanks

Just got a chance to fully test battery life on JK4 modem with Apex 7.1 I am happy to say that the phone seems a tad smoother and I got 22hrs out of the charge, thats with 5 hrs sitting idle while I slept, and many many texts yesterday as well as facebook.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not able to see ur setup in sig. but flash Talon 0.2.2 R2 first and then A7.1
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thanks, I'm running existz 0.2.2R2-1200-BIGMEM-JVP. So I'll give it a whirl

Hmmm, thought the rom was in the package, where's the 7.1 rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
ROM is in the first post of this thread

Keep in mind the BIGMEM doesn't do 720p recording for video

*edit*

Not that it matters, the ROM flashes a new kernel anyway
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
When you backup apps on froyo, and restore them on GB, you will surely run into problems. It can't be fix. It's just normal because the OS is very different. Remember that we are not supposed to have this possibility. Android is just not made for that.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
A different modem won't make your phone smoother... It's in your head dude...

Ok then whatever it is, my phone is smoother when moving through home screens, not by a whole lot, but noticeable.

Update progress?

Hey watsaa, just curious... can you update us about the progress for the upcoming 7.2? :)

as of right now the only thing that I know will be added to it is the new lockscreen, TW4 and some issue fixes. Are there going to be anything else added asides from what I mentioned (perhaps Swype 3, new kernel, etc...)?

If it's too early to say I understand~ so far this rom has been great for me, thanks for the hard work! :D

I have my backup phone stuck and nothing is working. Basically I have the captivate GB bootloaders (ATT) and am now stuck with just the Talon kernel screen, a corrupted system, cache, data, etc. in recovery mode and phone is not recognized by 3 different computers when Odin is open and phone plugged in. More details in my post but since I screwed the pooch here between DGs gingerbread beta2 and Apex 7.1 I thought I would check for answers here also. Please if you have any ideas after reading the link please post the responses there so I don't clutter this post up any further. Thanks for ANY help or ideas I may be overlooking.

Custom Apex Wallpaper

I've been looking around the forum for a good Apex wallpaper, but I could not find any and some wallpapers are quite busy/an eye sore. So I've decided to create a wallpaper which I thought would best suit this rom and signify what this rom is like... elegant, intense, fast, powerful and you get the point~

I wanted this wallpaper to be very simple/minimalist, yet, show some energy. I also used black as the main background so that it wouldn't be an eye sore and for those who are 'battery saving enthusiasts' will definitely not have to worry, especially with our captivate screens.

I will be tweaking and adding new wallpapers (change colour and other stuff) if people have any requests, just ask. :)

*not sure if I should post new wallpapers on a seperate thread like Mortem Tuam, so just let me know what the proper thing to do is, thanks*

[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
These are great, good job man!

Edit: I may have some request for you ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well that'd be just wrong and defeat the purpose of backups. If you can't backup to upgrade Android versions, and are expected to lose all your data, what's the point? ;)

That said, over 99% of my apps restored just fine, including their associated data. It's just the occasional oddball. Even my saved wifi access point configs came over fine. And I did this same thing with Android 2.1 -> 2.2 and never had this problem.

Not sure if it's TB's issue or what but I don't think we should just casually dismiss this as "backups won't work, deal with it". After years of recommending to people that they use backup software, it seems rather disingenuous to suddenly start writing it off as broken and hopeless, when for the most part it isn't. From reading this thread, I'd even say most people might even be having 100% success. I'd say it'd be worth working to get to the bottom of it, whether it's at the ROM end or it just needs a tweak to TB by Joël.

Cheers...

[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It's not because of a rom or TiBu, it's just that some froyo data isn't compatible with gingerbread, or something like that.

You have to keep in mind that the Android OS is not made for backup and restore of applications. Alot more things changed from froyo to gb than from eclair to froyo.

Now instead of an acore FC I get an SNS FC so I can only sync all upon setting up the account. If I try to link an individual account I get the FC.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I need to know what theme you flashed. You need a revert for the theme you are running. If you flashed my MattedBlues port, there's a revert in the MB thread OP. Link is in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
There is not just a basic revert.zip that installs "stock" components from the Apex 7.1 rom? So i have to ask your for a revert.zip every time i want to change theme?

I wanted to try the Legend-X them (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093278)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What I'll say here is for all of you guys.

A theme it's not something that covers the rom. It doesn't add to a rom. A theme replace some system apks from the rom by modified apks.

A themed apk consits in changing images and maybe edit some xml file (for font color or something like that)

A theme will always include framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk because these apks control the android UI.

Then, the themer can choose to add other system apks like say Browser.apk. You can basicaly theme almost any apk.

To make a revert, you need to replace all the modified apks included in the theme, by the stock apk from the rom you are using. That's why you need a custom revert for every theme/rom you use.

You can't flash, say, a revert for a continuum theme over your apex rom. It may work. But you have parts of Apex and part of continuum in your phone. It might break some features.

That's why it's best to flash theme made for the rom you are using. I'll give you a quick example.

If you flash my MattedBlues port, you'll have all the same features from stock Apex, (like EDT tweaks, lockscreens, hacked browser) because I use the files I want to theme from the Apex rom, then I modify them to needs of the theme.

But if you flash, say a GT-i9000 theme, you might lose all of these features because the themer didn't based his work on apk from Apex specifically.

The only "universal" revert is to reflash the whole wipe version of the rom.

Hope what I said make sense, and helps you.

I'll make you a revert zip.

EDIT: What version of the theme did you install?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Awesome !!

Pimpin' it now and tickled the thx button
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
Ya i understand that every rom has a revert.zip. I figured that every rom has a specific revert for just there rom. Like for Apex 7.1; Apex 7.1 Rever.zip that has the original stock Apex 7.1 .apks.

I haven't installed the theme yet, just getting info first before i do.

I am thinking the JVP v2.6 :(Recommended)

Thanks, i appreciate all your effort and work!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Were you able to make the revert yourself? Else I can make it for you. Did you flashed the complete or the light version?

EDIT: I posted before you edited your post. lol

EDIT 2: You can easily make your revert zip.

Just open the theme zip and replace everything there's in it by the original files from the stock Apex rom zip.

DO NOT touch the META-INF folder.

There you have your have your revert :) If you fail at it, i'll make one for you.
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
I haven't made one, if you wouldn't mind telling me how i would appreciate it very much!

Totally cool. Your FAST!
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Can't remember if I updated my post, but I did rule out the matted blues theme as the cause. And I do know there are just a few of us that experience this, but it happens just the same.

Atm I am on stock Froyo that has only been rooted. I want to confirm that it isn't the phone itself that has developed a problem. (and that in itself was a lot of fun since I had to hex edit a file so it would have the correct Product Code, so that Kies Mini would not come up as Unregistered Device) :-)
