Not seeing anything about SIM not being recognized, but I am not getting a mobile data connection, and cannot make calls etc. I did briefly connect earlier, but after ~5 minutes I have no cellular connection.

I am using the JVO modem (and was with 6.5 without problems). I'll try KC1, but this seems like either a RIL or APN problem.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
reflashed KC1 and let it sit for ~10 minutes and was able to get a connection. Don't think it's a modem issue though.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else having this problem that is SIM unlocked?
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
I don't know if you did this or not, but when you flash a modem, or a ROM that includes a modem, sometimes it can cause problems if you have your USB plugged into the phone while flashing it. If you did have it plugged in, I'd reflash with it unplugged (assuming you have a .zip) and see if that fixes the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Hey watsaa! 6.6 looks nice! Will flash it during the weekend!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not me and my phone is network unlocked
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Lol. You certainly have been busy!
[Captivate Android Development] startngate:
This saved me when I thought I was bricked too. I had already booked an appt with mobiletechvideos to get a jtag done. Decided to try this before sending it off. Had to try it several times, but it finally worked.
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
Home button

Is the home button fixed in 6.6? and does any one no were i can download the newest talon kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
home button has always worked for everyone else. try if 6.6 fixes it at for u. its weird that u r having issues with home button and i am :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
The home button hasn't worked for me since 6.2. there have been a couple other people with the same problem, and the problem was never solved. i would love to use this rom
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
whats ur installation process? try flashing it from stock??? i think u have tried it already :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
I have flashed from both stock and GB stock. i think i am just going to stick with serendipity or rom kitchen until apex 7 comes out. I hope changing from JVO to JVP will help my problem on this rom
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I know u tried it flashing it from stock but were u on CWM3 when u were flashing ApeX?
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
watsaa do you have any word on whether JVP fixes battery issues?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
U mean battery charging one?
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
Yeah where you unplugged and you weren't charged.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
for that i shud have my battery charged, i cannot go above 30%... flashing too many times.. lol

One thing is for sure 2.3.4 is wayyyy smoother
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
Then I can't wait for Apex 7. :)
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I thought out may have been a cause because once I selected AT&T from the provider list I immediately got a data connection (t-mobile was the other choice). oh well, the connection has been solid ever since.

On another note, the timer sounds still don't work. I have not touched anything on /system since flashing 6.6.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate with ApeX 6.6
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
oops i missed that one. but the good news is it is fixed in next version ;)
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Can we get some TW4 icons:eek: Also how do i get to the old clock and weather widget. This rom works great, but it needs to be themed "sgs2 stock" and then let users make there own changes.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i thought u liked this blue :(
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
Its refreshing to see a builder who cares what the users think!

I like the bone stock OS, the blue is nice, but the tw3 icons date it.

If i could change the icon pack i would be happy, could you show me where to get them.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is a thread in I9000 themes section with all icons. I personally dont like many icons from SGS II, the ones i liked are in 6.6

I might have missed some and if u want u can help me with them ;)
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
I will check out that thread TY
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I believe there are two bugs:

One is where you are charging your phone, but once it hits 100% or close to it, then it starts to drain and not continue to hold at that point.

Another is the where the Android OS runs crazy and starts to eat up your battery --- usually, a reboot fixes it...until the next time it creeps up.

Hopefully, both will be fixed in 2.3.4. I heard that the first one I mentioned is confirmed fixed. Hope the second one is as well.

ApeX is a great rom, hope you'll like it :)
[Captivate Android Development] sakralbekaa:

[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
-removed- (thought i was posting somewhere else...)
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
My bad on the icons. they are the same i just turned off the tile option. All good.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i thought u wanted each and every icon to match lol
[Captivate Android Development] illini71:
No i just didnt want the square iphone like border around the icon.

Im not quite that picky, great rom so far.

Did you put the digital clock and accuweather widgets some where or are they gone in this 6.6
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
digital clock is a part of system & accuweather was never a part of the rom
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
Just flashed. 6.6 and everything seems to be ok. But when i flashed the gingerbread transformation theme it seems to suffer from bootloop. Whats causing this? Trying to reflash 6.6 again.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i guess i have to retheme it based on changes in androidpolicy & FW jars. dont use that theme for now if its bootlooping
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
Thanks watsaa! Will for wait for the update.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
which update? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
The one in your sig. :cool::D

For apex 7 and gingerbread transformation theme update!

GPS on ApeX 7

I get 12 of 12 with 16ft accuracy on ApeX 7. I drove about 4 miles and GPS did not lose connection. Shoot Me attached below.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
My compass seems WAAY off in all of these 2.3.3 roms...moreso than 2.2.x. Any hints?

In GPS Essentials, doing the calibration doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
These pictures speak for themselves! Usage was light, but I have *never* gotten this much out of the battery!

Edit: sorry for the crappy screens but I have 32 hours total on battery

Sent from my Samsung Captivate with ApeX 6.6
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I never do a "GPS fix" for at least a day or two. There are so many fixes out there but the devs check their work before release. Then the modem has a big effect on the GPS. The modem thread has a lot of info.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Am I blind. I still see "Coming Soon" instead of link for 7 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol no it is coming soon :D

:confused: OP again.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I think it means ApeX 7 will take the whole OP and there will be a link to this post for those who still wants 6.6 ;)
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Quick feedback on Apex 7.

It's faaaaaaast. Loaded my five thousand contacts like there was no tomorrow. At least 3x faster than it took on 2.3.3.

Also TiBu restore works.

And then...I tried to calibrate the display's horizontal settings. Yes, I knew better, but we are testing things, right? That's when things started freaking out! LOL. Rebooted and all is well.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Playing with fire is what is that horizontal caliberation. I will remove it once and for al. lol

Thanks for ur feedback buddy.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, that's a good idea.

So far, all the apps I've tested work fine. No FC's at this time.

GPS and tracking test will be done later when my wife drags my ass to the mall. I'm gonna make sure I get a toolbox out of this trip. Ha!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Great for me so far too :)
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
You can notice the speed difference when re-installing your apps as well. This is a super smooth build. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, and I'm not even on ext4 or OC'd. My phone hates OC/UV. LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
alright my helpful buddies. Here is the fix for MIUI lockscreen. Please mount system from CWM before flashing this.

http://www.mediafire.com/?5m9ks89pbymwsh8

Then go to settings --> device customization --> lockscreen --> custom app and select a custom app
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
There's almost no difference when I OC mine. It doesn't hate it, but things still run at about the same speed. I am on ext4 though, i'm a spoiled guy. :)

Thanks a lot.

Great! That is one of my favorite themes. :)

that sign image is awesome

If you talk to the guy in the link he will make you one. He is really quick too. :)

Just noticed you added Fido apn in this one! hehe

This ROM flies watsaa, great work!

lol i had to coz even i use fido :p
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Anyone having Bluetooth problems? talon 2.2 with apex 6.6 was fine for BT.

In 7 I can't get it enabled.

This was a clean 6.6 install from default 2.1 (odin). for 7 I cleared all caches and then just installed the apex7.zip.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Google Maps locks under 10 seconds and is accurate to 10m traveling 60+ mph.

Google Earth tracks nicely as well, showing the exact lane we are in even when changing.

No overshoots on corners.

Cool!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Also, Display Auto-Brightness does not freak out like it did on 2.3.3. Very stable so far.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Works fine for me. Try wiping cache partition and dalvik in recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] nate360:
what are those widgets in the first screen shot? they look veryy nice :)
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Does the initial boot take a long time?

Maybe have bad flash.....just sitting and spinning on the Galaxy S logo.....
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
For how long?
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Yeah, be patient. First boot will take awhile
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
How long?

10char
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
A good 10-15 mins.....
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Too long. Try to reflash. If it happens again, re-download and re-flash
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
heh. Guess I will be out of action for a few days. Since my BT wasn't working (nor after dalvik and cache wipes), figured I would odin default the phone to 2.1 and start from scratch. Something I've done plenty of times before.

Well, this time it seems to have frozen part way through. Now I get nothing at all...not even the soft brick icon. Oops :-\

Hmm. Managed to get into download mode. Maybe I am just soft-bricked.

I always say it is damned hard to actually brick a phone. I now believe it more than ever :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
gonna try dark core kernel on this one :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
does it work now? if no then try to see if dark core kernel fixes the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
those are ripped from xperia arc
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Will let you know as soon as I am back up from my little screw up. I will now be coming from a factory defaulted 2.1 phone directly to Apex 7.
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
I have the same problem he does, but I never use bluetooth so it doesn't matter to me. I also tried to clear cache and dalvik with no results.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Updated Op with a one liner
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
First boot it still didn't work. So I rebooted. Now it seems to turn on and off just fine, so I am sure it will pair up with the car just fine as well.

Thanks. Going to stick with what you have in here. Only change I plan to make is slapping on Matted Blues theme when it comes available.

Currently what I am experience is that the prior boot when BT worked, WIFI connected, I could ping the phone but from the phone not get out to anything. Rebooted again, and wifi works but bt is broken again.

Trying a Wipe of anything Wipe command in CWM. if that doesn't do it I will try the dark core kernel.

That appears to have fixed it, so I am staying on Talon for now.

Thanks much

OK, now I am annoying myself. I keep jumping the gun. no sooner did I post it is fixed and wifi communication stops again. very odd. And now bt is broke again. Kernel change coming up :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
New question....Different Browser version than in 6.6? This one doesn't have the Agent setting, which I like. Anyway to get that one?

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yep this one is stock 2.3.4 browser for now. Hacked browser coming soon
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Watsaa, is the posted Apex 7 different than what you PM'd?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yea there is a fix for u guys. i added that some 3 pages back. did u flash it?

this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14660781&postcount=2067
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Didn't flash yet. Got my ass dragged to the mall, remember? Lol.

Will flash when I get home.

I have 50 posts listed per page, so when someone gives me page numbers, it's different for me. Hahaha.
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Ok...never had this happen again...any advice would be helpful...

Was trying to flash from Continuum 5.6 to Apex 7 and got in a boot screen loop. Tried reflashing, redownloading, etc. - no joy. Decided to Odin back to stock which worked, but now my recovery menu is blue 2e.

How to I get back?

Shouldn't I be able to load another GB via Odin to get root back?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol yea the mall :D

i added link to that post above
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
How do i get those on my Serendipity? They are awesome! Is TW required to use them?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
since u have flashed pre GB boot loaders u need the GB boot loaders again. see the OP instructions they might help. let me know if u r stuck anywhere
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I got impatient and downloaded it while sitting and waiting for my wife. Fix works great.

Noob question. Do I have to unmount system for anything in the future?
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Thanks!

I can still vol-up recovery (albeit blue 2e) and vol down dl, does this mean I still have GB bootloaders?

I used Cezar's flash back to stock - Odin 3 (not the 1-click with bootloaders)
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Ah, I see.

Thanks.

No idea why, but I am just having weirdness with ver7. Either wifi, bt or gps have trouble turning on (bt) or off (gps) or communicating while on (wifi).

My phone just went back to factory default one more time.Getting tired of playing with the phone, but may try ver 7 once more :-) But I may go 6.6 for now if problems continue. Others are having much better luck.

Given I actually thought I bricked the phone, earlier today, it just might have been the wrong day for me to quit crack cocaine, er I mean mess with roms and kernels :-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
if u used his method then yes u shud have GB bootloaders already
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I would still suggest u give a shot at dark core before jumping to 6.6
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
well, what version of darkcore are you using? I put 2.6 on and had the rotation problem. (hold upright, screen changes to landscape).

But I was rather golden on 6.6, btw
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
nope. u can pull them out and install them as apks
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
sounds like u tried the I9000 version of it
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
hehehehehehe. I sure did. OK, I will put 7 on again and if same probs I will try the Correct darkrom.

Thanks :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
dark core 2.6 is for JVH/JVO, you need 2.7 for JVP.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol this might be what 3rd time? hehe

The talon kernel included is a test version, wait till existz comes out with a release and then u can jump back to talon from DC
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
hehehe one of those days. BTW, a proper thank you: Confirmation number: 2243111835365613V

You know, I have my routine down so well. With TiBu Pro, it really doesn't take long to get everything back in order.
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Was able to flash Talon with Odin and now have Apex 7 up and running..thanks again watsaa!
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
OK, I not ready to jump to any conclusion but this time around I downloaded a new copy of apex7.zip and atm, all 3 are behaving properly (wifi, bt, gps).

Now to restore my stuff and forget the first 2 tries even happened :-)

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Im having this strange issue after flashing dark core: the softkeys are like all messed up, the back and search one are like used to select stuff on the screen and the home key is what the back key used to be, is that normal? If it is, where can I find the talon 2.2 kernel to flash it back? (i keep looking but can't find it)

Fixed the bluetooth problem though :-P
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
just double check if u r not restoring anything that is breaking these functions
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Do I need to flash talon kernel before flashing 7.7? I am on serendipity 7 with green recovery.

sent from my cappy rocking gingerbread
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
u flashed the I9000 kernel. try the captivate one
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
People have had apps dissappearing issues when flashing from CWM2. Maybe flash apex and then flash it again. or talon before apex
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
where can I find that? This is the only 2.7 version I could find (someone previously posted to flash the 2.7 version)
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
You can flash talon with autoboot unchecked. When odin says passed in green do a battery pull and vol up and power to get into recovery then flash Apex.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
i'm "someone", it'll be nice to mention "someone" by name :D

anyway, dark core 2.7 for cappy actually has not been offcially released yet. another dev is using 2.7 for his newly released JVP ROM, look harder. i don't wanna post link in watsaa's thread
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
I'm so sorry Lancez, please understand that I was in a hurry and didn't find myself in a position of going back looking for the post... I understand and apologize for my rudeness ^^ (thanked your post in compensation :D)

I think I found the 2.7.3 version for captivate already, shall try right now.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Let me know if it works
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
and i have returned the favor :p
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Yes it does. Many thanks to both of you.

Now my main concern is battery life, I will try and see how it goes (was great on Talon but I did notice a step back after flashing 2.3.4, maybe because it is a test version...)

Thank you :)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
been using dark core 2.6 on couple of different ROMs and they all worked fine, i would've reported the results if my internet speed is not too damn slow, it's been 4 hours now and still at 80% :mad:

you can actually disable/enable lagfix by recovery just like the good'ol speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Dark core seems not to be compatible with Control Freak or Voltage Control... Anyone had experience with the battery on this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
2.6 worked great for me on JVH/JVO, although it dose not support OC/UV
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
OK I will calibrate the battery and try it.... if not that great I'll be back on Talon I think, once I find it LOL
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Get the zImage file from the rom zip and flash it using Odin/Heimdall
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Great, thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
Too many problems

home button finally works for me since 6.3, but now every time i turn on the internet(pocket data) the phone restarts. looks like its back to mosaic till next update
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Works fine here. Maybe a wipe cache and dalvik is in order or a reflash of the ROM.
