[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Coming from S7 do I need to disable voodoo lagfix before flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
nope, you don't have to. just factory reset before flashing
[Captivate Android Development] SlickyFats:
I couldn't get it to zoom with tapping or pinching. Made it virtually worthless. Had to install Opera.

Don't know about Autobrightness because I leave mine on dim. I would check but i had to uninstall 8.0 after another charging issue. On wall charger all night while playing music and battery was at 32% when I unplugged it. Started at 80ish before I plugged it in.

I agree about needing a list of known issues. I got blasted yesterday for posting issues that are "known" to everyone.....but me.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have had enough now. You were not blasted because you posted known issues, but because of the words you used.

Do you understand that we dont get paid for this, this is just our hobby do put ROMs together? So if you dont like it move to other, thats why you have "options".

And if you search this thread a constructive bug report has always been welcomed.

Edit: Please continue posting only if you want to be constructive.

Hate to bring this up again, but I applied timestamp fix for 7.3 but I'm still getting "PM - PM" as the time interval for calendar events, both in notifications, editing and when viewing an event. Is there any way to fix this? I use the calendar a lot due to work.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
All I can suggest is the upgrade to 8. I have not had that issue before, and I never applied the timestamp fix.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
chief, i have tried UOT kitchen to get batt mod few times but they all returned error. do you have any ideas? would you please make a JazzK batt mod, the one like below? if it's not too mych to ask :p thanks

"Errr have you tried other roms? seems to me that you havent even try and know what are the known bugs of gingerbread the charging issue is a known bugs on gingerbread..."

"Sounds like the well known GB Charging bug found on the i9000 ROMs to me"

"chief, don't waste your time to read something like that. obviously he dose not know how to flash/use custom ROMs. i bet he dose not know what factory reset/wipe data means either."

If you say I wasn't I guess I wasn't. And the "Donate to Me" button means you probably DO get paid, but I do understand it is a hobby and not a job. I didn't mean to come off as hateful in any of my posts. I was very angry that a phone can charge all day and be dead when it comes off of the charger. This is the ONLY rom I have had that issue with (7.3 & 8.0).
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Hmm. I made a crysis battery for 8.0 last night and it worked like a charm. Are you uploading the right files to cook? You need framework.res.apk and SystemUI.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
Woo Thanks!

I found Apex last weekend for the first time at 7.3. Gave it a whirl because I wanted to try something new and my prior rom was doing oddness with strange FCs now and then. Figured if I was going to be forced to wipe, I'll jump up a notch.

Loved it almost right away. My phone started getting much better battery life right away, but had some odd "laggy" parts in launching programs. I even checked to ensure lagfix was enabled just to be sure.

I'm gonna try this 8.0 now and see if that fixes. :)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Pinch to zoom is working for me, tapping works too. Also your previous comment about too many apps on reboot running. I've never had this problem on apex. I have BW, Bln, email, swype and the other required android systems, and I have over 100mb free(130-140) usually.

Could it be a bad flash? tried reflashing?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
i did it on 7.3 and worked fine, don't know why it dose not work on 8.0, uploaded both files systemUI and framework_res, but they all returned as error. i probably will try it again later.

would you mind upload your batt mod here? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Can someone pm me the link for Apex 8.0 and instructions for updating from 7.3? For some reason the weebly site is blocking me
[Captivate Android Development] SlickyFats:
I flashed 8.0 last night (clean install) and didn't have the memory issue any more. And it was running pretty great. Everything was smooth, setup the my entire phone. Went to bed with it on the charger and woke up to a nearly dead phone. I like the ROM except for that huge flaw. Charging is kind of important to me.

I don't know why my browser wouldn't work.

You look pretty foolish coming in here and trying to blame watsa, who makes a GREAT product, for gingerbreads biggest single flaw. The charge bug affects ALL gingerbread ports for captivate....and will probably not be fixed until source is released after an official att release. Educate yourself before you go around bashing devs.

[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Thanks bro.
[Captivate Android Development] SlickyFats:
LOL. I didn't bash him for that. I just mentioned that it was one of the many problems I encountered. But again thank you for proving my point on being "blasted" for mentioning something that everyone supposedly knows. Maybe it should be posted in the OP if it is such a big known flaw. Also this is the only GB rom I have had it happen on.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Does this mean we can flash CM7/MIUI with the i9000 GB bootloaders, and then come back to Apex all through CWM?

**I love Apex, I just want to see what all the MIUI hype is about one day when I have nothing better to do. I promise I'll be back!**
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Let me know if kitchen works for you, if not try this.. Pull all stat_sys_battery jazzk icons from 7.3 framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and put it into same folder of 8.0. Use winzip or winrar

else

I will do it for you in sometime
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I should exclude those 2 since i have never tried them with GB BL. Also if you have GB bootloaders avoid flashing any file which has only one bootloader in it. e.g. 3 button fix which contains only secondary BL
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Pinch to zoom doesn't work for me :-(( will I have to reflash or is there an option?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It does work but is a bit sluggish for the first time. try scrolling first and then use pinch to zoom.

Known issue with JVQ browser, this is the best we can get as of today.

Browser blows first use. Close and reopen and it's a different experience. Not magical, but far from crapical

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
My mistake
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
GPS testing with Google Maps went very well. Kept a 5m lock on me for most of my 30 mile drive home from the airport. No overshoots on corners. Fast locking. Didn't feel the need to flash a fix.

[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
Hows battery life on the new version?

I love this ROM but its killing me and I can barely go thru the day without plugging my phone in...

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
battery life will improve after 2-3 charges if you are on 4.1, 4.2 even i am yet to test battery but it shouldnt be too diiferent
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Wow lots of updates! ;)

Will flash during the weekend since my favorite theme now works with JS7 :)

Can't wait to try this!
[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
I have used 4.1 for over a week. I am in Wi-Fi range most of the time, yet battery doesn't seem to last enough. Ill upgrade to 4.2 tomorrow and report back but Im not willing to give up on this ROM yet!

Thanks for your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol and 4.1 was out only for a day i.e. yesterday :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
What theme is everyone running? I'm still on 4.2 stock.

watsaa: It seems that fugu tweaks works with EXT4 fs, but it just disable the bootanimation. EXCEPT if your /system partition is RFS.

[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I've been told that the kernel could affect GPS (?), so letting you know that I am running SP-Voodoo, now disabled with lagfix.

I'll probably test SP-SpeedMod tomorrow after some battery testing.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
They are the same. Only difference:

-Voodoo lagfix, color&sharpness instead of hardcore's own settings in SP-Voodoo

-OC support in SP

-Dark auto brightness in SP

-Awesome CWM options in SP (dunno about SP-Voodoo since I never used it)

Everything else is the same.

So if you prefer voodoo go with SP-Voodoo, if you don't mind, I suggest SP (more features).

I personally use SP 100hz version
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Got it. I've been a SpeedMod fan historically, but thought I'd give Voodoo a spin again. I have no issues with it so far, but as you mentioned, SP-SpeedMod has more features. Also, I sometimed bounce back and forth to Hardcore's non-OC/UV kernel since it drives me nuts sometimes to do that. I am more a set it and forget it user, but like to venture into the unknown sometimes. Hence, my being on this forum. LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yes sir... I am looking at fugu tweaks myself
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Oh nice! Thank you ^^

Oh well....once I thought I was out, they pulled me back in!
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
I posted this before, not sure if you saw it. Someone on the I9000 boards found a fix for the JVQ browser lag. It may not be perfect, but its a hell of a lot better.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155129
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
I'm not sure if you've mentioned this, I did read your previous posts but can't remember, but were you seeing this behavior on other ROMs? How about now, can you flash something else and is the charging bug still present?

Not sure why your seeing this. Are you using a different kernel? Have you used CM7 in the past?

I ask because I did have this issue last time I ran CM7. But going to Apex, I flashed to stock and then loaded. My charging works perfectly. Mine was charged to full before I even went to sleep last night and I left it on the charger all night, woke up this morning unplugged it and showing 100%.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The very same browser is present in 8.0
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
dose not work at all and i can't copy files to 8.0's framework_res either. weird :confused: would appreciate if you can make one. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] SlickyFats:
It happen with 7.3 & 8.0. It is the first time I have ever seen it happen. I have never had this problem with any other ROMs. I used to run CM7 and never had this problem (don't remember why I got rid of CM7 though).

I flashed from stock, following the instruction that were included (except on 8.0 there were none). It charges fine initially, but it seems like once it reaches 100% it stops charging until I unplug the cord and put it back, then it begins to charge again but at 100% discharge begins again. And it isn't excessive discharging. It seems to be quite normal for the amount of use, but it acts like it isn't connected to a charger at all.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
man been gone a couple of days and see 8.0 is out now!! Very nice updating now

Sure. This is crysis battery for Apex 8.0

Edit: sorry bad upload, do NOT flash. Work computer sucks! I'll do it later when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Uh.. I dont really see anything about upgrading from 7.3 to 8 on the site besides

If you are already running an i9000 Gingerbread based rom, you can flash ApeX latest wipe version right on top of it.

Is that what we are using? So if we are on 7.3 we just just flash 8.0 on top of it?

Also themes. Your theme tabs on the weebly site does not have a tab for 8.0, which I assume means none of the 7.3 themes work for 8.0 yet correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Yup, if you're on 7.3, drop it on the internal SD and flash away. No need to disable lagfix either. It's on by default in 8.0 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Yes, if you're on 7.3, you dont have to go back to stock GB. Reboot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, and if your Undervolting, then wipe voltage settings.

Also its good practice to make sure your on RFS(i.e no lagfix)
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
I just flashed ApeX 8.0 on top of Serendipity 7. Everything is working fine so far except I encountered 1 weird "bug". If i were to hit reboot in the extended power menu I end up in an endless bootloop unless i do a battery pull and everything works fine.

Apart from that MINOR annoyance everything working great. Need to experiment a little more with it as I was on S7 for almost 2 full weeks and loved it. Loving the incredible updating as well.

Very well done. Donation coming your way.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
That's not been reported that I can think of. Might just have been a bad flash. clearing dalvik. If that doesn't work, maybe reflash
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
yep, i noticed that, only 1mb lol... thanks
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
A previous poster, asked if he should disable lagfix before going from Serendipity 7 to ApeX8 and the answer given was no. I did it without disabling lagfix. Should I do so now? I already downloaded Voodoo Controls....
[Captivate Android Development] tylercarter:
Any chance you could share that batt mod? :)

You don't need to disable lagfix, but you can if you like. I prefer EXT4 to RFS to I leave it enabled

Absolutely not, I just was using stock ApeX 8.0

I just reflashed, cleared the cache + factory reset (which I did previously) and now everything is 10000% good. Donation coming this very second.

Also, i hate to turn this into a modem threat but since you're Canadian I'll ask away. I have an unlocked Captivate with Bell (I know..I know...) I was using JL2 with S7 since that's a bell modem. Have you played around with them? What do you suggest?

great ROM just one dumb question, do we need Kies that I see alot of ROMS including it with the ROM

not sure why but i am experiencing a slight lag going from screen to screen Edit: Changed settings works fine now

BTW waited for this to come out to come back to apex

for those wondering about themes PaulDiddy_Remix1.6_C6.1 works great with this ROM (8.0)

[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Hmm me too...
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Question for anyone who might know... I don't see much talk about NANDroid backups through CWM outside of the CM7 crowd. I don't really know much about how that works, but say for instance I wanted to test some other JVQ themes. Could I restore to a NANDroid backup, or does that not work with samsung frameworked ROM's?

the real reason I want to do this is so I can try out the crysis sensation and flash a true apex 8.0 theme when they become available. There is no revert package for Apex, and I don't trust myself to make my own.

I remember trying to restore a NANDroid backup after changing ROM's and may have also been across different filesystems (this was quite some time ago, and I was very green to flashing) and it did not work.

calendar fix - Weather Widget

Hey guys , as always lovely rom..

about the calender.. i applied the fix , flash it on revery but seams my calendar keeps showing AM-AM.. is there another way to fix this?

Additionally, i love the SGII weather widget but, there is a color diss-match.. when you search for new cities or want to see your city list. you wont see any list because the list color font and the background are the same ( black )

the only way to see the city list is sliding your finger on the city..

maybe the font color has to be change to white ..

again thanks guys for your hard work.. :)

ps.. i am posting the pics

I'm also suffering from this. This flaw makes a 10/10 rom a 8.5 in my book. [Apex 7.3 as far as I know]
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Try a different calendar. Stock calendar is sooo limited anyway.

Pure Grid Calendar Widget is far better, integrates with any calendar you want, even Touchdown
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So where can I get this very popular Dark Core kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Answered my own question. It does work just fine. I'll write my bad experience with nandroids off as a filesystem fluke of the past.

I switched back to the stock Apex theme because 1) i use and love the arc launcher, and the theme is targeted at TW users (no changes to arc) and 2) it broke home haptic.

now you know, and knowing is half the battle

is there a way that i can put different modem in the rom zip instead of KC1? KC1 has been really staticky in my area. UGJL2 and JK4 are the only 2 that i can use that has no static at all on voice call.

Edit: I know i can wipe dalvik cache and all that and flash the different modem after i flash the rom. im just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] NinoAl:
Ive heard some problems about JVQ browser being laggy...if i put a different stock browser from lets say JVP build...would that help? Has anyone tried it?...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yea, just replace the modem file in updates folder of ROM package with the one that you need
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
you rock!!!!!!! TYVM!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I've never wiped dalvik after a modem flash. Although I have found that 9 times out of 10 if i flash a ROM, then the modem before booting the ROM at least once, I will get an unknown baseband and no cellular connection.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Is it safe to use SGS tools to change browser to one with Agent setting or best to sit tight for Apex 8 version from here?

P.S. 8 is looking great

P.S.S. Why is this rom so fast with lagfix disabled? :-)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I've been trying to fix it, but there is a charging script that is supposed to make it rotate when charging but it is eluding me right now.

The one I cooked up has rotating charge animation. I know the one of the early builds of 8.0 was missing xml file for battery charging indicator(quickly fixed by watsa).
