@watsaa its probably been asked before, and theres probably a reason why it hasnt been done,, BUT is it possible to add a mobile data toggle to the status bar toggles?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Too many apps running.. I am at 240mb...

If it works, you don't have to flash again. Only those who flashed back to stock had problems because the kernel in the installation instructions of the OP was outdated. If you are on 7.1 now, you don't need to change anything. Except flashing the MattedBlues theme maybe :rolleyes:

I don't think it is possible... You can have acces to it through the extended powermenu though.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
It would be difficult to add it to the one that's there, but Elixir and Widgetsoid from the market let you create a custom power control bar.

How can I find out how much ram I'm using?

Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Android is based on linux. A linux system takes a big part of the ram to make everything faster/smoother. When an app needs more ram, the system will release a little more ram space for the said app.

You'll never see like 50mb or 100mb of used ram.

On my computer running linux, I have a quad core cpu @ 2.5ghz and 6GB of ram. That's fast. But even then, I have 1GB of used ram, but only google-chrome is running in the foreground...

@ watsaa

What kind of boot ani's work with this?

Can I drop to the system\media folder like normal? Want to use the Transformers one.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
sanim.zip in system/media

I would have to check in Talon thread if it supports boot ani for JVP based kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
thx

I'll go check. You've done enough already giving us this ROM.

Edit

Yup, should be OK

From the Talon thread
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea i know that, I am sure JVP kernels had to take boot animation zip support out as there were reports of bootloop. I wasnt sure if existz was able to fix it
[Captivate Android Development] superdave69:
Thanks both of you, I had completely forgotten about that animation setting, turned it to "All" and all is well!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Just looked in the system\media folder and see no samin.zip, only bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg

Before I start farting around, I'll wait for someone else to do it. Can't afford a mistake today. BBQ, watermelon seed spitting contest with the kids, and another pool tourney at 7pm. WOOHOO! Happy Father's Day to all!

On a side note, if you ever need a tester, let me know. I have a spare cap for testing only.

I will test that out and let u know in sometime

Is anyones tw launcher force closing whenever you choose it? Im on lpp now, but tried to switch back and I cant. Tried a reboot and the same thing. Is this a known bug or what? Everything else works great.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
works fine.. try clearing data from settings for "Samsung Home" and see if that helps..
[Captivate Android Development] smully1:
Didnt go back to jf6 but rather stock gb. then picked up in op and workes awesome. installed most apps from market and then some one at a time in tibu app only. lovin it. did switch to launcher though.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
7.1 is running along nicely for me since last night. I really like the arc launcher, maybe because its just different and I'm not used to it but its a nice addition.

Has anyone flashed Paul diddy's remix 1.6(jvp) theme on this yet? If so, any issues?

I read one report, someone said they lost there market app after flashing theme.
[Captivate Android Development] djinferno806:
after the 7.1 wipe flash, all my sms's are now off by 4 hours or so. I have only previously had that problem with AT&T based roms like cognition 4 or stock kb1. Never had this issue with i9000 roms which this rom is. Apex 7 update 1 was fine so i rolled back. Does anyone know what changes were made to 7.1 to have this happen now? thanks. I would really like to not use the smstimefix app from the market as thats just another service that needs to run to suck up more RAM which is silly.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try doing this.. Grab mms.apk from system/app in 7.0 and put it in system/app of 7.1

Flash 7.1 again, u would be fine
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The launcher is awesome, specially animations :)

Thank you for all of your hard work. Netflix work with this rom!!

ok thanks for the quick reply and help, i will try to do that.

Just curious, what did you change in the mms.apk for it to do that?

appreciate all your work on the ROM.

Well, I got a themed Swype 3 Beta working on my phone.

The bad news is that it's not as simple as pushing files to the folders. It requires you to have access to the beta swype first, decompile, inject images, modify xmls, recompile, sign, and then load that file in during the original swype beta 3 installation process. Not very friendly...

Still need to figure out how to change the color of the text when you long press a button. Right now, my box images are usually dark, and swype's default text color is black, so you don't see them very well. Aarrggghhh. I could cop out and just make my boxes contrast more, but I would really like to know how to change that text color.

Also, still need to figure out how to change the swype trace color.

Still hunting for friendly apk and lib files... LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
M still waiting for to get a mail from swype on at least one of my 4 accounts that i have used :mad:

Just experienced my first soft reboot when trying to turn on wifi from drop down menu.
[Captivate Android Development] tjarrard:
I thought I was following the instructions as posted in the OP, but when I got to step 7, after the reboot, I'm not in a bootloop.

I started at step1 and slowly and I tried to carefully followed the instructions, but apparently, i did something wrong, or just having bad luck.

Suggestions?

UPDATE: I just got it into CWM, so I'm trying to finish. will up date in a bit

UPDATE 2: Once I was able to get into Recovery, I was able to install the zip, and it's all working. Just got a bit panicky when I started bootlooping. Now to re-install my apps.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I thought I would have issues flashing this, I did for 7.0, but for some reason this time I was at boot screen for less than a couple minutes! All is well and running fine. I'm not a huge fan of the talon kernel, it seems to slow and lag over time, at least for me, every phone is different. But again watsaa, great work! Now you'll have another wiper version that I said that.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
You do not want to bootloop. It was just a warning that you may bootloop, not a installation step.
[Captivate Android Development] bryan95502:
No didnt think the email.apk was related

I deleted both camer.apk and camerafirmware.apk and copied known 2.2.1 working camera apks..

no change.

I will delete the email.apk and see if that helps

Anything else to try? Can you send me know working versions for your rom?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Oh no you dont need to delete Email.apk, that was just a ques. try using the Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk that comes with this ROM and you should be good
[Captivate Android Development] bryan95502:
Ok, I have tried both the Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk that comes with this ROM... no luck

I have tried a few other ones too and rebooted between changes

Any other ideas? I can do another wipe and reinstall.. Wont have time today though
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
some people who had this problem either deleted stock Email.apk or updated Camera.apk. You may want to reflash and make sure that you are not deleting the needed apps
[Captivate Android Development] bgf183:
awesome

watsaa,

Still loving this rom dude. I flashed Andromeda (just for fun) and it was awful, and I was immediately back toTwingy. After a level 2 memory clear and a click of my ATK, I'm left with like 150+mb RAM which I feel is pretty decent given the volume of apps I'm running. I find it funny that you devs can produce a ROM from another devices source code that is 50x better than what Samsung pushes out (I tried KB1 and it was the worst ever). I literally can't find anything wrong with this ROM- I don't seem to be getting FC with my MMS anymore. Nicely done. I just downloaded the 3.3 update, looking forward to it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
welcome back dude :D enjoy Twinger at least for a day or two before before flashing to another ROM :D
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Why do you clear apps with ATK? It doesn't save you battery...
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
Ok, Apparantly there are some work arounds to get 3e recovery working with CWM. One is a custom kernal and the other is a batch file that reflashes 3e recovery with the signature checker removed.

So, If I can get CWM working properly, should I be GTG to flash your ROM via SGS Tools?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yes if you can get CWM working
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
Ok, I got CWM working by using Odin to flash Supercurios's "stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1". After doing that, ROM Manger/boot into recovery took me right into CWM.

So, I am DLing your ROM via SGS Tools right now. 87%
[Captivate Android Development] bgf183:
Force of habit more than anything, but (at least theoretically) the fewer background processes you have running the less work the CPU has to do- which

would

save on battery a little bit. But also, fewer running processes frees up system resources for the things I'm actually working on.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Android 2.2 automatically frees up RAM when it's needed. Processes kept open consume nearly 0 CPU and just take up a bit of RAM for fast opening. If you use ATK, you will actually use more battery, as it takes more CPU to keep opening up the processes that you keep closing.
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
This is an awesome rom. You should change the line about the GPS being so-so, I almost didn't try because of that, and so far it is as good as any I have tried. The battery life is great, as good as I have had. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
GPS works for you, works for me but not for everyone else here.. I am playing safe by not exaggerating claims :D
[Captivate Android Development] bgf183:
hey watsaa,

do you have a bootanimation.zip for your original boot animation? The nexus one? I think I like that a little better than the bumblebee. No worries if you don't have it, figured I'd ask though. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes i have it & i will add it to the OP post in some time. Anyways i will be reverting back to the older boot animation in 4.0 which is built on JS7 framework and is almost ready :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] bgf183:
:eek: indeed. Looking forward to it. Thanks man.

It may not be possible with this launcher, but you can download other GB launcher from market which have 5 home screens. You may already know this

Well sorry to say, had to flash OUT of Apex, it was nice for approx. 12 hrs, then as with every talon kernelled rom, lag set in. it was taking me 5+ seconds just to open messaging!

Also, there is no line that I can find to change the swype trace color in that xml.

I'm thinking exactly that too, why can't I flash xcals novoodoo kernel, via odin, no reboot, then boot to recovery, then flash Apex? I get into bootloop every time I try, it just ends up being too time consuming in the end. Give me a week, by them I'll be ready again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks watsaa

Hi,

I totally realize that this is not a question for tise group, but i did try looking around and not sure I did a good job in searching...

I have a Rogers Captivate, and by installing the GB Apex ROM (various versions now). Is my phone unlocked now?

i am planning to travel soon and was wondering if I could just put another carriers SIM and it will all work, I would have have tried this but don't have access to anything by Rogers...

Please anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
yeah I flashed the matted blues theme and it seems to have messed up swype 3. let me know if you find an easy work around (though I'd be willing to mess with adb and files if you can hook it up with instructions :D)

edit: more detail - so after uninstalling the swype that came with either the 7.1 rom or matted blues (that looks cool but isnt version 3) through TB, I installed the newest version of swype with the swype installer. it worked great but then the old swype version somehow came back and took over swype 3, so I lost the features of swype 3.

then I couldn't even choose another keyboard from settings. whatever other one I chose, it would just automatically switch back to the matted blues swype. the swype installer says to uninstall the current version of swype to put back swype 3 but I'm guessing it would just repeat the same problems.

so I uninstalled swype again with TB, chose swiftkey as my keyboard, and everything works. Swype is still automatically reinstalled for god knows what reason, but I'm staying away until we can get a fix.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Reinstall swype beta, should be ok. But it won't be themed. Course, stock colors on it fit matted blues better than most, imo
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
yeah the theme is great but for some reason, the old matted blues swype keeps reinstalling itself overriding swype 3.

I can try again if you want but I doubt it'll help.

Installing a ROM wont network unlock your phone. There are some very good tutorials burried in xda to network unlock. I am using my At&t captivate on rogers now
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
Again, this may be a more general-forum question, but you guys are so good I thought I'd start here...

A little while back there was a lot of buzz about how carriers (i.e. AT&T) were able to find out if you were using the wireless tether feature without paying for the added service...is this truly the case, or was that a scare tactic started by the carriers? If I wanted to try this at a very minimal level (letting my wife tether her ipod touch for simple wi-fi access) would I run any risk of AT&T slapping a tether service fee on me? Anyone have any first-hand experience with this?

Thanks for your help!
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
no its true. if she's using minimal data usage via the tether, you'll probably be ok, at least for a while. they'll target the one's who tether to download torrents/games/high bandwith usage first.

then they'll come after you and your wife
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
ok so I was finally able to fully uninstall swype and the swype installer with TIBU and multiple restarts.

then I reinstalled the swype installer from the swype website. it installed and generated a license successfully. I then enabled swype from the input settings.

but now I have a similar problem as before. except instead of being unable to not choose swype as my input method, now I cannot choose swype as an input method. even if I choose it, it automatically switches back to swiftkey.

the saga of swype continues :confused:
