As long as you don't run, say 1.6ghz 24/7 at 1500mv, then you should he fine, there's nothing wrong with a 1.2ghz oc and UV...I actually run 1.3ghz at voltages lower than what stock is for 1ghz..

But no, the kernel is not oc/uv by default...its all stock frequencies/voltages unless you change it with VC...but as long as your smart and actually pay attention, then oc/uv'ing is fine ..
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I noticed that too but did not think much about it since it has happened from time to time. I was using GPS, Google Music and restoring apps with TiTa Backup.

One of the only things I have noticed it I lose sound in my ear plugs if I use SportyPal Pro and try to listen to music at the same time, I think this was a problem like one when the first I9000 GB came out.

This is a beta so we might see little glitched here and there.

Any way to revert back from Update 1 to Apex 7?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
why do u want to revert?
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
Id like to know this too.. New kernel is giving me fc's n im getting heating issues. i dont use bluetooth snyways

Sent from my captivate
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
For now until the EXT4 is fixed on the current update. I also dont use bluetooth so I could care less if it doesn't work on the other build. If reverting requires reinstalling the rom then I probably won't do it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just flash talon's kernel again
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Ok, just to make sure, download kernel, hook up phone in download, and just load the tar and thats it right... then re enable the fixes. What about Auto Reboot and Re Partition??
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
download the .tar put it in the PDA slot, reboot into download, connect it to odin and make sure you get a COM port, MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS NOT CHECKED you will get a soft brick and half to start over. the other two can remain checked then hit start

THANK ME LOL

No point in running OC/UV Kernels unless you believe you NEED it because of something you want to do that you cannot currently accomplish acceptably.

There is a huge difference between running a custom ROM for it's own benefits and running that same ROM overclocked and possibly creating issues from something you may not beneifit from. I don't buy the may as well not run a custom ROM if you are not going tp the "bleeding edge" argument.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Yep, I got it, It went through and the phone just rebooted but has been on the android logo for 2 minutes, the screen goes off too and comes back on if I hit the power button, still android logo.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
So your now having issues?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Anyone flash the new talon 0.2.2 kernel with apex 7?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
It can take several minutes to boot up after first flashing it.
[Captivate Android Development] illmatic90:
So I am currently running Apex 7.0 Update 1 Rom and recently I have been having an issue with my home button. Basically every time I unlock my phone my home button sporadically keeps pressing it self for no reason, and the only way I am able to stop it is by hitting either the back button several times or the search button. It also happens randomly while I am using my phone to browse the internet or play music. I noticed that this also occurred while i was on Serendipity 7 so I do not think it is a ROM based issue. Has anyone encountered encountered the same issue? Is there a fix for it? Any help would be great Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
Yes. I'm a co-developer on Talon, and both I and the primary developer eXistZ are currently using Apex as our daily driver, so you can be pretty sure that Talon releases will be thoroughly tested on it.

Bluetooth issues are now fixed, and bleeding-edge performance as usual.
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
what is meant by this.. i want to flash the talon

**Wipe Voltage Control Settings before flashing
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
Totally depends on what you're using your phone for... if you just use it for talk/text, then no, OC isn't going to improve your experience any. But there are lots of common use cases where OC makes a big difference - and I'm not just talking about esoteric things like running emulators.... Web browsing for example: assuming you're on wifi, page load time is almost entirely determined by rendering speed, which is almost entirely CPU bound... so performance scales pretty much linearly with clock speed. So at 1.5GHz, pages load roughly 50% faster than at stock. That's a huge difference - very noticeable subjectively, and easily measured objectively. If, like me, you use your phone primarily for web browsing, that makes for a massively more pleasant user experience.
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
Are you currently running an overclocking kernel? If not, then don't worry about it, just go ahead and flash.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
That me and kodos use Apex ourselves when developing the kernel...(usually apex and continuum) so its usually going to work pretty well with it.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Ok nice. Can I flash Talon 0.2.2 over existz jvp voodoo v.1?

Also can I still use setcpu along with voltage control app? I primarily use setcpu for some of the battery saving features(nice load, sampling rate, powersave bias).
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Yes

[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
ok i flashed the new talon.. when i go to tweaks in settings.. it wont open up. i get the cf-root kernal not detected error still
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
initramfs has changed to voodoo. Tweaks app no longer supported.
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
ahh ok so i jus do go to voodoo in recovery right?

Enable/Disable Voodoo Lagfix in CWM->Voodoo

Delete Voltage Control settings in CWM->Advanced
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Correct. Ext4 app won't work either. Talon doesn't use CF initramfs any more
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
what voltage settings do u guys recommend for more battery life and better performance.. im looking to OC to 1.4 ghz but am looking for stability as well.. i have setcpu installed.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea to enable/disable voodoo lagfix, I added a voodoo menu to my cwm, or you can control lagfix with Voodoo Control App
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Im overclocked to 1.4 also, and I'm not undervolting at all. And I'mquite stable (on the days I take my meds)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I keep forgetting about that.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Just because it has the capabilities of OCing and UVing doesn't mean don't use it if you don't do either. These are called options.
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
lol my phone is running at 111 degrees (not oc'd)... why does GB run soo much hotter than froyo? i was at 94 on 2.2 rom... anyway to make it cool down? ive frozen maps and sns... hmmm
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Your modem can make the back, near the top very hot. Try another modem and see what it does.
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
lol my phone just froze and reboot two times on 1.4.. ill try 1.3. althought id still like to know what undervolting is and how i can do it
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
wow there's modems too? haha err can you point me in the right direction for that? and how would i flash a modem? same way i flashed this talon kernal in odin?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
The modem thread. Use the CWM3 modems and then plase on you SD card and flash from recovery. I use KC1 or JK4 but that is what works well in my area.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
thank you :)

what about undervolting? where would i do that? i have setcpu
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
My phone does not like OC/UV so someone else will have to take that one.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Undervolting is a process which reduces the excess "voltage" given to the CPU using a software. By reducing the voltage fed to the CPU, it will run much cooler. It will also draw less power from the battery which can give you an extra 10-30+mins battery life depending on the degree of the undervolt.

Use voltage control to UV. SetCPU causes problems.

start with -50 mV (delta from default value) other values probably are too low

These are some instructions i found:

my testing includes:

- Angry Birds Rio (several missions)

- Gun Bros (for some time)

- mp3 playback, (flac playback - optional)

- surfing the web via browser, opening up bit.ly links from cmsgsteam twitter feed

- watching youtube video

- watching video via rockplayer lite or mobo video player

- running benchmarks (Smartbench 2011, quadrant standard, an3dbenchXL, anTutuBench)

- Labyrinth Lite (for gravity sensor), auto-rotation (also for sensor)

when 1 GHz (1,2 or 1,3) is OK - go lower with undervolt value (e.g. -75 mV)

after it gets un-stable - go back to last known stable value

then you can limit max frequency to lower one, e.g. 800 MHz

and repeat testing for that frequency

When testing, always select Apply for now or whatever it is. Only select save as boot settings only if you are completely positive that it is stable by running the tests.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
so just to be clear if im on the kernel in the Signature can i just put the .tar in the PDA slot and flash?

Also i installed the gingerbread bootloaders the way it tells you too in the Serendipity thread then i came to Apex

Last question which odin do i use 1.82 or 1.7?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
1. thats how you flash a kernel as a .tar file

2. yes, you can use mikey's method too, it's safe

3. dose not matter, the only differences i can tell is 1.82 has bootloader option and 1.7 dose not. i used both and all worked out.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Can't remember who ask for it, but my UV settins are:

1000mhz: -100

800mhz: -125

400mhz: -125

200mhz: -150

100mhz: -150

Might be unstable for most of you lol
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Can someone tell me why after I flashed the new talon kernel why do I have to kernel boot screens? I have the Talon one and the Android one from reorient_G #21
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
The talon image is the kernel boot screen and the android thing is the boot animation from the rom. It is two separate things. Xcals kernel doesn't have kernel boot screen
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Does the JVP update fixes the WiFi toggle issues or is it still kernel related?

Captivate, Serendipity, XDA Premium
[Captivate Android Development] superdave69:
CRT Sleep animation

I seem to have lost the CRT sleep animation after:

1. Being on Apex 6.5

2. Switching to Symply

3. Coming back to Apex 7

4. Adding Apex 7 Update 1

5. Switching to TalonDEV 0.2.2

Going to reflash Apex 7 I guess... wish it wasn't a wipe :(
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Is all animations are enabled in settings?
[Captivate Android Development] Hivol:
I just went thru this issue on my 1006 Cappy. There are several things than can cause this from what I read. Mine ended up getting replaced by att warranty. Humidity can also cause it to happen as well as memory, Rom issues. I tested by master resetting and flashing stock. Even with nothing but stock loaded, it would still stick. Talked to att tech support and they decided to replace it.

Hope this help, there isnt alot of info out there on this prob. It seems like only they early model cappys expierene this.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Also see if you havent set animations to very fast under device customization
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Havent had issues with wifi toggle till now
[Captivate Android Development] stewi21:
This is happening to me too! it didnt happen on stock though...could it be something to do with using a I9000 kernel/ROM base?
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
So if I'm on CM7 and I go back to stock JF6 with Odin in the first post, do I then have to apply the 3 button fix in that order to avoid a bricked phone? I read in another rom post that if you do the 3 button fix before flashing to stock odin you get a bricked phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Yesssss!!! use oneclick jf6 first. Otherwise you wont be happy

wipe the cache and the dalvic cache

DONT PANIC when you get a black screen when it boots up it will eventually come up (15-60 seconds)
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
I was just thinking, what if I reflashed Apex 7, unzipped the update, removed Kernel Update folder, rezipped. Would it flash the update 1 without the kernel? Or just fail all over?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Or u can dump ur kernel' ZImage into updates folder so that nothing fails and u have ur kernel
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Hey watsaa, tried this last night from mosaic 4, I was running xcal's newest 2.0 kernel. It tried to boot up several times, even got to the home screen a few times but would always send me back to bootloop city. I wiped all I usually do. Flashed from cwm 3. Not sure what I did wrong. I flashed and rebooted to recovery then flashed the no wipe update, (really hate talon) and it was no joy. Would really like to try this, any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There were reboots even after reaching home screen? Try flashing again and give it sometime to settle down even though you see some cycles of bootloop? :confused: else try going back to stock GB first without flashing bootloaders since you already have them

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Did you try deleting email.apk that comes with this ROM? or updating Camera.apk?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Yeah, it was odd, there were probably 6 bootloops, it seemed each time it would get closer to being stable, but then would loop. I even tried a different kernel and rebooting and it was close but nogo, bootloop to the android screen. I wouldn't hesitate except my nandroids are taking a sh** on me lately. Makes it a pain to get back to the set up I had. I'll try later maybe.
[Captivate Android Development] Hivol:
More likely a bad flash or your phone doesnt play well with the kernal you have loaded. I would try a different kernal. If that doesnt work, try a different Rom. Hope you get it worked out.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So what kernel you guys using? Is xcal's kernel better than Talon on ApeX?

Volume

Watsaa, I found out what was wrong with the volume. Short answer is nothing.

I had been using a BT speaker and liked it. My wife used it (I did not know she used it) and turned the volume on it down because she thought it was to loud. I loaded pre ApeX 7 and told you the volume seemed low. I then loaded ApeX 7 and the Change with the same volume problem. Little did I know the speaker had a separate volume the phone does not adjust, much less that the wife had turned it down.

To make this short, I have untied her and reinstated her TV privileges- and the sound is working fine now :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:

[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Wiping cache is useless after flashing a wipe rom. The installer script wipes everything already.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
After 62 hours I can say ApeX is excellence!

This was the first ginger ROM I could rely on completely, it's fast and pretty stable out the box; battery life is not that good but I'm OK with it. I've encountered a few minor bugs, nothing relevant to mention. WiFi is working fine however when toggled it's not so responsive as with Froyo and it drains A LOT OF batt if you let it on.

Again, thank you watsaa.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Apex has always played well with Talon' kernel which i had to take out because of BT issues. watch out for an update which includes new Talon' kernel. Its much smoother than 7-update-1

I have also fixed some issues with SNS syncing and FC in contacts.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as it only happens with this ROM. I install the ROM after a full wipe (even though the script does it), boots past kernel, gets to the android loading screen and hangs. Then after a while the android screen goes black. I can press the power button like the ROM is up and running as the android splash comes back. I also have haptic feed back on my lower buttons. :3
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
What was your exact setup before flashing Apex?
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Running continnum, EFS FS. Nothing else. Didn't change kernel or barely installed any apps.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Just let the phone boot after flashing. Don't touch anything until the lockscreen comes up. First boot takes more time, it is normal.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Huh ... then maybe it was just a bad flash. I guess just re download and reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
I know this has been brought up, but it is taking an inordinate amount of time for the first boot. I just let it sit and it got to the android boot screen, has since timed out and gone to sleep still on the android screen, and it doesn't seem like it'll end anytime soon.
