i think someone should start making an app called "parent control" for android :D

bad news guys, i just dropped my phone while charging, and now the USB connector on the phone is bent, can't charge it or connect to my laptop anymore. damn it!!! :(

dose anyone know where can i get it fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Same thing happened to me and I thought I would need a repair or replacement phone. It took me weeks to figure out that it was the connector on the USB cord that was damaged, not the one in the phone. I solved my problem with another USB cable so that might be worth a try.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
This guy does unbricking (hard), LCD fixes, etc etc. Might be worth a shot asking him

Otterbox is awesome and an awesome warranty. I have torn the silicone outer shell and broke two belt clips.

To change kernels, do you have to use Odin or can you flash with CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you have a CWM flashable kernel you can use it, else ODIN is an option

Thank you!

Do you have the Gingerbread keyboard apk? The Perfect Keyboard doesn't seem to have a good word-predict and dictionary

Battery drain Issue

I was on cynogen rom from like 8 months ago. I just upgraded to this rom because I had some time on my hands and I feel like my battery is dying alot quicker. Is any1 experiancing this? Am I missing something? My wifi is off and so is gps as well as auto screen brightness
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
If you didn't flash with a full battery reset your battery stats in CWM and give it 3-5 full charge cycles to break in (give it that long even if you did flash with full batt). I had terrible battery life on CM7 and noticed a huge improvement on Apex.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
follow up to kernel change...

A follow up on the post below. I've been running Dark Core (from the OP) since that update and haven't had any issues. Battery life is good, no lag over time like I had on Talon (maybe not Talon's fault but on my hardware it was bad laggy).

REALLY like this ROM, I've come back to Apex several times since taking the leap to GingeROMs and i have to say that Apex 8.2 is by far the best of the lot I used.

Well done dev. Well done.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Glad to hear another good experience re DarkCore. Just flashed it this morning, as my hardware didn't play well with Talon 0.4.1, so I'll tinker with it for a few days. Q: Anyone OC/UVing on DarkCore? Any thoughts as to stability & battery? Never done either, but I'm planning to look into it at least
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
search tegrak in dev section or the market
[Captivate Android Development] iMohak:
Hi everyone,

Am absolutely loving apex8.2. Except one issue since I flashed. While any normal operation the back action or the home action gets performed without me doing anything.

What could be wrong?

Thanks for the ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
^^ reflash the kernel

P.S @ watsa...this truly is the WORST ROM EVER. Can you make it even WORSE for 8.3 please? :D
[Captivate Android Development] T0N3Z:
no i flashed with like 68 %. so can you give me a run down exactly what to do? ...i am not a noob lol. but i just want to make sure to do this right. my battery right now drops .... fast!

.....so reboot into recovery and reset battery status? thats all?

and what do you mean by charge full cycles?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Dude, that's like nightmare flashback:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Charge to full with phone on. Power off and charge to full. Power on charge to full. Reboot recovery, wipe battery stats and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I used Dark Core and Talon and they were both laggy for me. Then I realized that I was using fragg0r's TW4.5 launcher. That was the cause of the lag I was getting after opening a few apps here and there. Once I switched to TW3 or Arc, it was fine.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
TW4 included in Apex works just fine for me with either Talon or Dark Core.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you didnt need to rename the rom package to update.zip... if in CWM you are selecting "Install zip from SD card" and not "install update.zip" then this may be a bad download...
[Captivate Android Development] aite97:
ok ill try it thanks
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:

What kernels can I use with this ROM? Speedmod has never nice to my battery..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you can use sucker punch, and if you disable fugu tweaks you should be able to use almost any of them
[Captivate Android Development] socrated13:
Where are fugu tweaks located? Is that from recovery or in the actual rom?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its a part of the ROM package in system/bin folder. for more information http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=981125

though i would advice using fugu...
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
Are there settings we can tweak or is it basically FUGU ON or OFF? It doesn't seem like we can tweak settings based off of 5 minutes of looking through the above FUGU thread.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
No you would just have to flash the on and off CWM packages.. i would recommend having fugu tweaks enabled though
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I would recommend it too, and SuckerPunch is such a nice kernel ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
I thought the FUGU tweaks were ON for Twinger 4.3? To apply them I just download the CWM from the FUGU thread, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
they are enabled on 4.3, i meant dont disable them
[Captivate Android Development] xTRUEx:
agreed the newer touchwiz launchers never work well for me.

It's widely known the TW4.5 can give you some problems in terms of lag/freezes, etc.

which of the 6 TalonDev kernels are in this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I finally got Terminal emulator to reboot the phone

After opening I typed

$ su <enter>

here's where it got different. Instead of dropping down to another kine wwith a #, It stayed on the same line and read

$ su#reboot recovery

Then it rebooted when I hit enter. After first time it read

# reboot recovery

Don't know why it works now, only thing I did was flash a kernel today.

i see that TALON kernel got more vote...and DARKCORE kernel got less...

and presently i see lot of happy flasher with darkcore...

including me ..froli and many more...

and i guess the reason of more vote to talon is because it was default kernel with the rom...

just a suggestion watsa...

try to keep darkcore kernel default with ur next update...
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I already made the suggestion, it's a good thing, because people who wants Talon's extra feature will flash it by themselves so they will accept to live with the little bugs that can sometimes happen. Don't be surprised to see DC kernel in 8.3 ;)

Been testing 8.2 for some time now. All I can say is wow. This is the first time I can actually USE my phone and achieve greater than 15 hrs of battery life. I can easily get 20-30 now. I'm currently running 8.2 with talon 0.4.1 and launcher pro (which has had lots of graphic bugs displaying the homescreen at times).

My only issue with 8.2 is that my browser...well... sucks. I get constant FCs after opening it when it has been pushed to the background for a while and it is just painfully slow while browsing. Elsewise I love this rom!
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
test DC kernel....worth a try..
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
Yeah, my browser got better with the DC kernel as well. I still get occasional lag, but it's negligible.

Overall much better IMO

Outerspace

I've been on goLauncher for a good bit of time and with the 1ghz talon kernel it was a bit laggy but I'm now running talon 1.3ghz and go launcher is smooooooth. The horizontal scrolling as a cylinder is a baller effect and I'm worried if i switch to dark core I'm not going to have the computing power.

Otherwise golauncher has always been reliable for me and they are constantly updating it which is nice.
