Hmmm, I had volume issues earlier, but I figured it must have been ROM/kernel related. It could be a problem with modem I suppose. I've switched back to JK4 and the KF1 bootloaders, we'll see if my particular issues are gone.

Edit: D'oh! Easier problem than I thought. The KF1 music player was set to "Auto" Equalizer rather than normal. So it kept trying to adjust in the middle of the song over and over again. Sorry guys, guess my problem isn't the same.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I9000 music player was giving all sort of problems with KF1 bootloaders (like music sluttering).

To avoid that I included KF1 music player in 8.3+ and since then people who are on I9000 bootloaders are having issues with music player.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
let me know how it goes for ya
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Other than my stupid mistake with the equalizer setting (hopefully that's not the default) the KF1 music player was working fine in both 8.3 and 9.0 while I had I9000 bootloaders.

Edited my previous post. Stupid mistake.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Aaahhh!!!!!

Ok, I am gonna install another music apk and see if that fixes his problem. I'll let you know.

Thanks sooooo much watsa!!!

And congratulations on a Great ROM!!!! :D

Also, I posted earlier about suddenly having the new Market. I remembered that I'd changed the build.prop to Nexus S recently (MLB.tv), perhaps that's why it got pushed.

I installed it on top of apex 8.3. Just cleared dalvik and cache before the flash. Should I re-flash it? How do I preform a "clean" install?

[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Ok, I used the browser zip to also flash a new stock music player and miui, and guess what, the browser looks great but the volume problem is still there! lol

We tested the music apps on my phone running Mosaic and guess what, SAME THING!!! hahahahaha

So, my final conclusion on the topic is that it is a gingerbread i9000 bootloaders thing :P

Everything works with the cappy bootloaders? I might try flashing those on my brother's phone and see if it helps :D

Thanks!!!!!

[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
is this fix only for 9.0 ? or i can use it with 8.2 or 8.3... ?

i am having now random freezes and reboots, probably with the talon kernel .

i am gonna reflash 9.0 if that does not help, i am gonna flash back to 8.3 ..

Hi, watsa . Im not trying to stick to stock browser, and using Dolphin HD now. Its really a good browser.

Now, I like the tw 4.5 of Apex9 ,its cool. But I found app icon cannot auto-arrange in gridview ,and not listed by alphabet.

How can it fixed.

Hoping for your reply
[Captivate Android Development] gerbig:
Apex 9 includes an app called AppZorter. It'll sort your app drawer for you. Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its TW4 and as gerbig said you can use appzorter

will mattedblues work on 9.1 ?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
browser will have to be replaced in it. Pull browser.apk, MusicPlayer.apk from 9.1 system/app and add them to system/app of mattedblues using winzip/rar. Then flash MB

we will update the theme soon
[Captivate Android Development] mystichobo:
Dammit - Get halfway through downloading 9.0 and this gets uploaded!

As a new captivate user (arrived in the post today :D ), I have a question (while I wait the 4 hours that chrome thinks it's going to take to download):

In the instructions it says to flash back to stock JF6, I'm running Eclair JH7 at the moment (apparently), will I need to flash to the froyo firmware first?

I know that with the Milestone (my last phone) it didn't matter as long as it is a stock firmware, as the update.zip would wipe everything anyway to the newer firmware, just though I should check to see if it's the same with this.

Cheers,

Hobo

Finally downloading from the Multi link, Mega link still dead.

Thanks!

Can't seem to get either of the download links to work, MultiUpload fails over to No Data received and MegaUpload says the file is no longer available.

Does anyone have a mirror?

ApeX 9.0 to 9.1 the "easy" way

I'm not in the mood to do a full wipe today so I just replaced Browser.apk and MusicPlayer.apk on my phone with those from 9.1 and then wiped the Dalvik cache. Does this seem okay? :)

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope because browser fix needs framework changes too

2) MusicPlayer.apk

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@TheShamsMan buddy TW4 included in 9.1 is overall more stable for me, and thats why I have tried to provide workaround for 3 important needs from a launcher.

1. Sort apps alphabetically - Use appzorter provided with apex.

2. Change default homescreen - Can be done bu editing default.prop under system/

3. 5 Icon dock add-on

I know that TW4.5 works too

I uninstalled market updater to keep new market from showing up...is that gonna cause issues?

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
when i went from 8.3 to 9.0 i had to redo all my sound settings email everythign , resotreing from my backup , will going from 9.0 to 9.1 be the same ? , maybe i updated it wrong.

this is correct right ?

copy rom to sd card

boot to recovery Consol

choose "Install .zip from SD" and then choose that ROM.

or maybe i need to install update from zip ?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Install .zip from SD is correct
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@topiratiko u dont want new market? damn I am still waiting for it to be pushed :(
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
does it save all user settings and everything , or i have to restore my backups and setup email ect... again ?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
watsa, here ya go.... New market, hope its the right file. :)

its the file from system/app
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@ex-28 you will have to restore backup since this is a wipe version.

Normally for updates I provide non-wipe versions too but not for 9.1.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@Oxicottin thanks buddy. You grabbed it from system/app or data/app
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
How full does the battery need to be to flash? Does it have to get right to 100% and then you unplug it and go, or can it be a little lower than that with no ramifications?

Obviously, it's never going to be on an exact 100% full charge when you flash, but just wondered how critical this was with regard to battery stats, etc.?

Or is it just to prevent the phone going dead during the flashing process?
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
ok thanks , now i know difference from wipe and non wipe appreciate the fast responce and all you put into this rom :)
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
watsa, I grabbed the last one from system/app.... is that correct? If not here is the other one...

here is the one from Data/App I think this is the one you were wanting since it says it was updated on the 11th
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
This is the perfect rom. Traveling today so cannot flash but with the browser fix no other rom can compare.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thanks @Oxicottin buddy. yea all the updated apps go into data/app.

It was auto updated last night to me..didnt care for it...prefer my blue themed market thats all.

just a quick question with MyBackup Root when i backup whats the best settings to use , my email never get restored i usually backup data and apks but not sure i'm useing this app correctlly when i restore as not sure what to select and what not to , i dont wanna throw back old data on the phone and have it overwrite new stuff in the rom :) , sorry for such a newb Q but google hasnt been good to me this morning.
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Nice, and thanks again Watsa, I am flushing 9.1 now, it has always been the best for me, I am currently testing Talon 4.4.15.. and so far so good, and for those always trying to use the samsung player.. I never bother,... I found that PowerAmp has the best sound out there plus equalizer and lots of features.. giver a try
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
@ ex-28 you should never restore system apps and data. I am thinking by restoring apk's you mean only user apps right?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Gaahhh... JUST installed 9.0 yesterday. :( Way too much work restoring things after a wipe version... what a bummer. Going to have to wait I think.

Hopefully we'll see more non-wipe update packages in the future. I fear often the work required after a wipe-package is underestimated.

But thanks for your work, regardless.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope the work after wipe is not at all under estimated, but there is a decent amount of work involved on creating non-wipe updates too specially with many file changes. Hopefully future updates would be non wipe
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
when i backup system apps on my backup root , it asked what kind of backup ,

3 options , apks ,Data, data + Apks
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I like that you have updates regularly. Keep them coming
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I use the same and I also use data + apks. I figure it saves both of them so I dont have to do 2 different backups for them.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Flashed this at lunch and my apps disappear every time I re-boot.

Even if I do not do a restore from TiBu, but just install an app or two from the market, they are gone after a re-boot. The market is typically gone after a re-boot as well so I'm left with re-flashing. I've done that twice with the same results.

Has anyone see that or know of any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Sound like you flashed from cwm2. Flash it again from cwm3, you should new good.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Don't worry early 9.1 flashers, MattedBlues update will be online by the end of the day ;)
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Nope - flased from 3.0. I was coming from 8.3 with no mods.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
That is weird.
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
If one were to lump us in three groups of user experience I would put myself somewhere in the middle. Like others I prefer non-wipe updates but completely understand the disadvantage to the dev.

To make my wipe restores easier I do the following:

backup all user apps & data with Titanium Backup

backup call logs and SMSes

extract the rom .zip file, make changes that I prefer, and then zip it back up and copy to /sdcard. these changes include:

adding/removing apks from data/app and system/app

adding notifications and ringtones

update /etc/gps.conf

replace kernel/modem (/updates)

reboot recovery and do a clockworkmod backup

charge battery to 100%

flash my modded rom

restore user apps, call logs and SMSes

Obviously, ymmv.

Thoughts or other things I might be missing?

[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
updated to 9.1 now to restore apps ect,. one thing tho on the "S" animation screen on bootup , just noticed i have no sound on that animation , not sure if i didi before but is there a way to add default sound to it ?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I don't recommend this method at all.

Simple example. Suppose that you want the new fixed Browser.apk... If you just take Browser.apk and push it to your phone, it won't fix anything because it depends on some framework files. Then you'd come over here and complain that browser is still not working, then we'd work our ass off to figure out your problem, to find out in the end that you didn't flash the update properly...

When only 1 or 2 person has an issue, most of the time, it is users' errors else, every one would have the same issues.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I'm downloading the 9.1 again and will re-do.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I also use Power Amp. Let us know how Talon works out!
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Agreed. It is best to keep dev updates and your own separate. There are enough potential problems.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
I agree!

I once tried doing that, modding the ROM before flashing it, and the result was that non of my apps would stick after restoring with TiBu.

Learned my lesson!!!!

:D
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
I gotta change my sig to Apex 10 now :D
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
You're obviously more experienced with this so I'd like to know exactly what you mean. :)

You don't recommend this for anyone, or for (most) people who don't really know what they are doing? Most of the stuff I listed I'm going to do regardless of whether it's by modding the dev's rom or after the fact via flashing umpteen things with CWM.

Also, I don't understand what your Browser.apk example has to do with this.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
Fair enough but that has never happened to me.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
Oh, hold on. Are you referring to my previous question about being lazy and trying to do a non-wipe update? Well, yeah (no sh!t). :p That's why I just manned-up and did the 9.1 full update. The steps listed are how I do a wipe backup & restore.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Come on, at least someone confirm if music player and browser issues are fixed :(
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
The browser seems fine to me so far in 9.1 so far. How would I verify that it's working properly?

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What I'm trying to make you understand, is that if you don't flash ROM updates, as is, the risk of issues will rise. By cherry-picking the things you wanna update, you may forget (or ignore) that some APKs depends on other system files. So you would have made a semi-working update, which wouln'd fix anything because it is incomplete.

If you don't flash the ROM the way watsa intend it to be, it will be MUCH harder for us to help you if you run into issues because of your incomplete update, since we assume that you correctly flash the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
watsa it's been a while since I've had to do this so hmmmmmm. My son came home today and wanted me to update his phone. He was still on Serendipity 6.3!!!! All I need to be sure of is... Do these steps still hold true for flashing 9.1 or is there an updated package.

- Download Apex ROM package and place it on your SD card before flashing bootloaders & kernel.

- Open 1 - I9000 bootloaders, connect your phone to PC in download mode, add galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar

to PDA and when ODIN recongnizes your phone hit start.

- Open ODIN_Kernel_Flasher in 2 - Talon Kernel folder, add Talon_Kernel.tar to PDA, Connect

your phone in download mode to PC and hit start. Once complete your phone will reboot and

will go into bootloop. Pull the battery and reboot your phone in recovery mode using regular

captivate keycombo.

- Once in orange CWM recovery navigate to find Apex ROM package, and flash it. The initial boot

will take sometime.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is a new flasher package with At&T bootloaders in it, everything else remains same
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:

Hey watsa browser its like i never had it before..music pkayer never have used as a matter of i always remove it
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I figured out what you meant and we are actually in agreement. I think you almost completely misunderstood what I meant. :) I was referring to how I do a full update.

When I mentioned removing apks I mean stuff that afaik isn't necessary and that I never use such as Appzorter, CarHomeGoogle, DeskHome and all the live wallpapers.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I re-downloaded 9.1 and have flashed it for the 4th time with the same result.

After a flash, I can open the market, install a new app, reboot and the app is gone.

I'm going back to 8.3 for now.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You are right, I misunderstood what you meant lol

Sorry :o
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
8.3 and 9.1 have same install script. so if u have this problem on 9.1 you will have same problem with 8.3

Is it possible for u flash KF1 and then flash apex from there?
[Captivate Android Development] dan_maran:
I was having a similar issue, were you noting Wifi issues before the reboot? as that is what made me reboot and poof gone. Well that and odd FCs
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Hmm...I've been on 8.3 for a week and my apps never disappeared.

I'm not necessarily an expert, so I'm not even sure what KF1 is.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Odd FCs? where? Did u restore system apps/data?
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
No - I meant that I was asking the phone to reboot and my apps were all gone after it booted back up. I thought it might be a TiBu issue, so I started just installing one app and rebooting. The app disappears.

I wonder if it had something to do with the new market rollout.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
No FCs and I only restored apps not system data.

After it happened the first time, I re-flashed and didn't even attempt ANY restore. I just opened the market, downloaded an app, asked it to reboot and the app was gone.
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
No worries. At least everything was civilized. I rarely post anywhere else on the 'net because people can be such you-know-whats. ;)

Now, if you wanna re-read the original post and have any suggestions that'd be awesome.

[Captivate Android Development] doctorbva:
8.3 to 9.0 - AWESOME :-)

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to say thanks for this fabulous ROM and give some quick feedback. I flashed 9.0 over 8.3 and I've been on 9.0 for about a week or so. I'm loving it - to the point that I'm almost hesitant to flash 9.1... Hahaha.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Only thing I would suggest is to add files from any theme or mods that you use.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Crap. Now it's doing it on 8.3 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
On whatever rom you are on, make sure you have latest TiBu version, re-backup the apps you want to backup, then flash the rom you want, make sure you have latest TiBu again, then restore.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I will and thank you.

I do want to reiterate that at this point I'm not even using TiBu.

I'm just flashing, installing an app from the market and then re-booting. When I do, the app is not installed.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
And to make matters worse, the market is always gone after a re-boot as well which leaves me basically stuck and forced to re-flash.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Weird. I think it's time for you to go back to stock :(
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
My battery isnt showing up in the notification bar. I have restarted a couple times and it is still not showing up.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind it showed up I guess it just took its time to make an appearance. :P

[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Sorry if you already answered this, what kernel are you flashing from? Does it have CWM3 recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
This happened to me on Serendipity VII.

The reason I was getting it was because i had lagfix disabled. As soon as i turned it back on everything was fine. Hopefully your fix is as simple as this
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
It's whatever kernel came with 8.3. I've made no modifications, whatsoever.

CWM is 3.0.x although it actually says Darkcore Recovery 3.0.x (or something like that).

But again, it's what I had had after Apex 8.3
