How did u get GalaxyS screen on 7.1?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You know how to use adb? If so type this command and paste the output

adb shell uname -a
[Captivate Android Development] xgrimxwolfx:
Starting from JF6 stock I followed every instruction installed 7.1 and it hung at the glowing GalaxyS boot animation.

I just now tried again going from JF6 through your instructions and installed Apex7 then Apex7.1 wipe package. Success!

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. I am assuming by GalaxyS bootani u mean I9000 bootscreen and not the boot animation itself

2. While flashing kernel, did u check repartition or anything else?

2nd ques is for bapurado too
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What odin version are you guys using?
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
1. its the galaxy s i900 screen. its not animated.

2. nope. the only thing thats checked in odin is auto reboot and f reset time.

i added what the adb command said in the previous post for froli
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You didn't fixed the bootloops before running the command?
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
im also using odin 1.82
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
nope. i didnt know how to. still trying to figure that out
[Captivate Android Development] xgrimxwolfx:
Actual boot animation I got past the I9000. Re-partition is not selected. Right now I'm running 7.1 without any problems hope bapurado can get his Cappy running.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Did u add boot animation to 7.1? Sorry for too many questions but trying to nail down the problem
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
yeah me too =(. im gonna try installing apex 7 then upgrade it like you did
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you are confusing the hell out of me.. you were able to go past I9000 bootscreen and were stuck at GalaxyS boot animation.. 7.1 doesnt have Galaxy S bootanimation..

It shows stock android animation
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
if youre talking to me when i power on it says

"galaxy s

gt-i9000

Samsung"

its not a boot animation. its just a boot screen. then it goes to the talon splash screen. then it reboots again
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try giving it 5-10 mins and see if u actually go in.

Edit: My ques was for xgrimxwolfx, since he said he was stuck at boot animation and was able to pass I9000 screen
[Captivate Android Development] xgrimxwolfx:
I apologize for the confusion. Okay when I used the the 7.1 full wipe I still had the GalaxyS boot screen. I went from Apex7 and used the Apex7.1 non wipe and got the Android animation.

I'm good to go now thank you. Will be donating soon!
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
yup talon. stock apex 7.1 only difference is the boot loaders. mild UV and OC to 1200.
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
I never heard the voodoo lady when I flashed 7.1 from Continuum 5.6 w/ rfs.....
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Watsaa the last day I'm getting alot of the"phantom" back button pressing. Can be playing a game and I feel a vibration and all of a sudden st the last screen. This happens on slot of diff apps. At first I thought I hit the button but after it happening often can say with out a doubt that it is hitting the back itself. There has been a few times it is the home button effect

Running apex 7.1 with talon 0.2.2 kernel. I did change the status bar icons like I did in 7 u 1 but have been running it for a couple of days this only started in the last 12 to 24 hours :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
ok well im hoping to try one more time starting from scratch again. apex 7 wasnt able to install either. right now i have the phone running stock 2.3.3 from the sticky. i just want to know if you have any tips or "pre reqs" before i try to install this rom again. as of now its stock gingerbread rooted from the forum sticky as i followed those instructions to the t.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope there's no pre requisite, whatever written in the OP works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Awesome battery life

Been running great for two days now. Stable at 1.44 O/C and battery life is great! Can't wait to see what the update cooks up. Keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
If you are already on a samsung gingerbread rom, just flash apex 7.1 on top of it. Like stated in OP.

If you don't have CWM, flash talon first. Then flash apex.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Does anyone know of any other compatible themes besides the link on the OP?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Paul diddy remix 1.6 works nicely.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
@ watsaa & froli13

Have either of you tested this theme by chance? I prefer not to take a chance messing with things when they are running so well. I want to make sure it doesn't break anything behind the scenes.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I'll be the crash test dummy.....lol. Will install and report back. Keep your fingers crossed...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Crash test dummy... I lol'd.. thnx for that. Im always reluctant to use a theme the dev doesn't approve because there are always some changes. Can't mess with this pup the way its been running for me. Unless its that 7.2 I been reading about ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Paul Diddy Remix 1.6 is confirmed working on Apex 7.1! Initial complete reboot takes a little longer than usual, but it works.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Check home haptic. thats the only thing i have my doubts on. and lockscreens? boot must be taking longer because the updater script might be clearing cache/dalvik cache
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Success!

I'm notoriously slow about updating to new Android versions and am known to stay on the fence forever while I wait for the dust to settle and the bugs to be worked out. I had still been on Apex 5.3 until yesterday. But 7.1 seemed stable enough to finally make the move to Gingerbread, so I gave it a whirl. I haven't had enough time to really put it through its paces and test a lot out, but I at least wanted to say that I was able to install it just fine and so far so good. Been using Titanium Backup to restore my (many) apps and data, and was able to get the new Skype Beta 3 installed without issue.

I was surprised though that the battery doesn't show a percentage...? I thought that had been resolved as of 7.1? Oh well. :( Guess I'll just live with it for now, but I was very dependent on that as I'm someone who suffers from battery issues so it makes it very easy to become aware of unusual drain.

If I find anything I'll be sure to mention it here. Here's hoping for several update package now that I'm on 7.1 so I don't have to do a full install next time like this. :)

Suggestion: Step 7 in the install instructions could be elaborated about whether one should do a full reboot afterward, or a battery pull, or whether to assume bootloops and they're normal, etc. Unlike step 6, it doesn't detail what to expect after you flash before you move to step 8.

Thanks for the ROM, and cheers...
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
If you flash the mattedblues theme, you can install EDT tweaks and you'll have some options to tweak the configuration of the battery icon (and a few other options) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123830

Percentage will be added back in in a future release of the theme, or you can roll your own on UOT kitchen.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is a very beautiful widget included for battery percentage - status switch.

Let me see if can add a % battery mod to themes and apps section
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
EDT tweaks works with stock Apex 7.1 too ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Home haptic is working!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Nice!

This is a nice theme too.

I wish I could run the Crysis Revolution on Apex. That theme is tits.

I'd be way happy with a black glass theme though. THe cap just looks soooo good running with true blacks
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
There is? o_O How about a hint... because I didn't see it... :)

That's cool too. :)

Cheers...
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
@Chuckd610

SInce flashing the PaulDiddy, is your swype expiring? I updated already to the 3.0 Beta. Not sure if this one drops the older swype in .. haven't flashed it yet. Stuck working on a borked network for a client
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I actually haven't tried it yet...the systemUI is patched already, so no need to push it? Just install the APK correct?

edit: the answer is yes!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just the apk
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I feel like I just walked up a 10 foot ladder and did a swan dive into a cinder block. No sleep at all last night and doing a simple theme flash to my phone.

Step 1:

Flash to stock

hmmmm.....

thank you TiBu for the backup I did driving home last night...

Well, at least I get to start from scratch again.. oh freakin' joy
[Captivate Android Development] doctorbva:
Love the ROM, but I'm having the same issue :confused: Any ideas/suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Don't know. I'm probably one of the few that do not use swype.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Never knew about this tool -- great little way to get rid of the AM/PM in the clock!
[Captivate Android Development] bapurado:
ok will try that. quick question though, when i tried flashing apex through cwm yesterday it was cwm 3.0.0.5 and it was orange. the cwm right now is 2.3.0.5 i believe (cant check now since my gf has the phone) and its the green version. i got that version on the phone due to me flashing the stock rom in odin running 2.3.3. does it make any difference if i used that version of cwm to flash apex?

i also forgot to mention that the very first time i tried flashing this rom was without gingerbread bootloaders. needless to say it was very buggy and i didnt read the watsaa's post properly. but it did boot up and i was able to play with the phone for a bit. only when i did a reflash back to stock eclair and then followed the instructions in the op was when i started getting bootloops.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I use it once in a while.

Not that it would matter at this point though. I'm starting from scratch after a stupid mistake lol
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I noticed when I create an event in the stock calendar app and try to set a time, I noticed I can never actually change the time. I don't have a screenshot app at the moment, but if you look at the pic below, you would tap on the "3:00 PM" or "4:00 PM" buttons to change the time but on mine's, it just says "PM" and "PM" and I can never get it to save the time. It records the time as "PM-PM" instead of say 3:00PM-4:00PM.

Bizarre. Anyone else have this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] prodigalOne:
I just want to say thank you for the beautiful ROM, and the Matted Blue on top of it. I have very minor quirks which I can fix, and is all preferential. I will be charging my phone to 100% today, and testing battery life. I push gmail and exchange, maximum 30 texts a day, phone calls amount to max 15 calls avg of 2 minutes, and play music for 25 minutes.

I am reserving high hopes, I have had battery issues in the past so based on prior replys, battery time is good. So if my tests don't pass, I will buy a new battery
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I listen to music almost all day at work, send between 50 and 100 SMS a day, 100+ emails via Touchdown for work, 10 or so from gmail and about 1hr of calls a day. I'm getting between 9 and 11 hours out of it. Sprinkle in an hour a day of Homerun Battle 3D to that mix also. I think you'll be aiight on battery ;)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Flash the new talon first. It's better to flash from CWM 3
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It's just now I noticed that the alarm icon is moved near the clock? Or is it just because of the MattedBlues theme?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Since gingerbread I think. :rolleyes: lol
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
This doesn't appear to effect more than a few people, but sadly, with every version of Apex, I get the problem where the Home key goes nuts. But, I also notice it also effects the Back button.

I am going to revert from the Matted Blue theme, just so I can rule it out as the cause, but I may have to move on to another rom for now. I really like Apex....enough so I donated, but this is driving me crazy and I haven't seen any solutions for it.

No doubt I will check back on future versions. Thanks much. Great rom. Great theme!!

Could it be the talon kernel and not the rom itself? I know past talon version clusterf*ed my bluetooth. If possible, what other kernel would be good to try?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Really tired and not thinking properly, but can someone please post their OC/UV settings for 1200 on this ROM? I forgot my cheat sheet at home and want to set them.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I didn't know that. When I tried S7 before, seems to be that the Alarm icon was on the left side. Maybe it's just me. Can't remember that much. Lol. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
You can try xcals plain kernel. Just his newest JVP version should do.

Sent from XDA android app.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It really depends on your phone on how they can handle it, some can handle lower than 100 and some can't. My settings a while back was 75, 75, 100, 125, 125, 150 on Talon2.2R2.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Well, assuming the matte blue revert file completely reverts, and I have no reason to think it doesn't, than I can rule out the theme as the cause, as I sit here watching the screen go crazy :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I think that's it. Will give it a go

thx button tickled ;)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I am using apex since version 4.3 I think and MattedBlues since I released it (and even before) and I never had problems with home or back button. Using talon since it is out too.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Been using the PaulDiddy 1.6

Works well, no issues to report so far.

@froli13

Are you guys planning any custom themes for Apex?
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
+1 but now in the last couple days i have noticed it happening. :(

on another notemy gps which was working spot on has now been totally unresponsive. m aybe its time to reflash :(.

Watsaa when is 7.2 coming and is it an update or a wipe. dont want to reflash for nothing :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
There's already my MattedBlues port and watsaa's blue theme. I know the AOSP is almost finished. And a new one is coming for 7.2

Themes by watsaa are on hold right now because he's working hard to bring features to new version. So if he release a theme right now, he would have to re-do it again when he release the next version of Apex which appears to be relatively soon. Plus he would have less time to work on features.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I would bet on wipe version.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am sure you meant non-wipe or an update only package :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I thought you would need to wipe because of tw4
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
so it would be ok to reflash anytime and wait for 7.2 :D:D

and for the every once in while plug. :rolleyes: any progress on stay awake thru a reboot :D
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Would suck to have to do a wipe just for the sake of a bundled launcher that I won't even use. :( Don't most people use their own launchers these days? I'm a LauncherPro guy (paid).

Here's hoping for a quick update package like the good ol' days...
[Captivate Android Development] prodigalOne:
Looks like I should opt for a new battery, since my time of posting, 0 phone calls and only email, I'm down to 65%! Don't like that feeling of planning where to go after work, and basing it on "Will I be able to charge my phone"
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Sweet. Lookin' forward to the next release and the new theme. I can wait on themes. I'd rather see the same quality in the ROM Ive had so far. I haven't been this pleased since the Paragon RC6 days. Excellent work from all those involved.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Do you have OS Monitor? If not, grab it from the Market. Its free and will let you know is anything is chewing up CPU cycles.

edit

Also, when did you flash? If it was today, your battery will be poor. Give it a couple days to calibrate itself.. it will get better
[Captivate Android Development] prodigalOne:
Anyone use LCD Density Changer? I have issues using it on this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] moshmoshkelah:
sorry ... but when i flash the stock rom in to clear previos data the phon refuse entering download mode or recovery mode using the volum d and power

what should i do
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Stock Froyo?

Start with phone off

vol up/down and plug in USB (download)

vol up/down and power button till you see splash screen , then release all (recovery)
[Captivate Android Development] master athlon:
Download AIO Toolbox from the 1st page of this forum and install that. Then use that to get into download mode. I think this is the simplest method if hardware button combo doesnt work.

Also, for future use you could buy/make a jig.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Watsaa just said it would be a non-wipe version.

But you have to understand that sometimes, it is not possible to make non-wipe versions.
[Captivate Android Development] moshmoshkelah:
thanks ..but that didnt work too the stock room is working will but i cant enter download mode to use the odin application
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:

that's basically what works for me. czech my sig for the exact settings im using. No crashes yet, but as soon as i set to 1.5 ghz, i'll get a soft reboot after a few minutes. might need to play with it a bit more, but 60mhz is pointless to chase after.

of course, YMMV

[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Just flashed JK4 modem, Apex 7.1 seems to be running a tad smoother for me. I mainly flashed to see if the battery life is any better. I got 22 hours on Serendipity 7 with JK4 modem. I got about 16 on this rom with the KC1 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
A modem won't make your phone smoother, but it can improve (or the opposite) your battery life for sure.

The kernel is different from Serendipity too, maybe you want to try another one, if JK4 doesn't solve your battery issue.

Also, it needs a couple of days after flashing for the battery life to get back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
Is that why my phone is taking forever to charge after I completely drain it? Lol
[Captivate Android Development] 7JS14:
I don't think the modem would affect the charging time of your phone. Especially when used by different roms.

Perhaps you might just need to calibrate your battery. Here's the site that shows you how: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765656
