1. In CWM, did you select "update from zip" or "install zip"? You want "install zip", not update.

2. If you were picking "install" and it's not working, you may have a bad file. Try downloading again.
[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
Yeah, I selected install zip from CWM. I will download the file again, thanks.

Dear devs,

Please don't post Apex 11 just yet - going to try out an i897 ROM (illuminance 2.1.1)

THX
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
hahaha It's great having choices isn't it? Tho sometimes, too many great choices has it's own anxieties :D
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I agree, just went to illuminance 2.1 this morning from Apex 10.1
[Captivate Android Development] psych0phobia:
Heh. There is now only one item left on the todo list (more lock screens) and I'm thinking it will probably get pushed to 11.1. What remains is packaging and screenshots, and working out hosting/distribution.
[Captivate Android Development] Sqb:
Thank you to all of you for stepping up and making sure a great ROM keeps going.

i'm comming from my galaxy s to the Infuse 4G so just wondering where to start again at getting a rom hopin apex and the phone rooted :)

Dialer keeps crashing as well as the launcher, any ideas of how to fix this? I tried re-installing the software but the problem persists.

Yes. I'm thinking a public beta is in order to help work out any kinks that may have been missed.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:

watsa what themes you ahve going for the sgs2 ? , thnk i need to head out of the apex forum here for the captivate and find your other latest work :) ?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
there is nothing from me for gs2. there are already 50000 roms for it
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
have u used tibu to restore data?
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
aww to bad love your roms now i have to go search out and see what rom is compareable to apex with tw4.0 and find out best way to root :(

any pointer ?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i am using stock rooted ki4 with jkay tweaks.. thats it.. i think thats enough of tweaks needed on sgs2
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
+1 The hardware on the SGS2 is pretty NICE! You don't need an exotic(with multiple tweaks) Rom for it to shine. Many times to much tweaking can degrade the performance of the handset.

Thanks for linking the modem thread but i meant are there any good quality modems out there, like we all know jk4 was good. Something like that.

And if it turns out not to be the modem draining battery, is there any way to find out whats draining it so quickly?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
what does battery usage in settings say?

Hey devs, if you need a tester for 11, I am off from work for the next 7 days. I will definately put the new rom through some tough testing. Just PM me.

Anyone else have Swype stop working today?

I've the Apex 10.1, been running it since almost the day it came out. Perfect.

Today Swype came up and told me "a newere version was released, swype is disabled until you install it" and directed me to the beta.swype.com website.

I tried to follow those directions, but it tells me "cannot install swype beta on devices with swype preinstalled".

So I'm left with a non-functioning swype.
[Captivate Android Development] durangatang:
That happened to me too... Had to uninstall Swype and sign up for the beta and install the beta.

Rom: Apex 9.3

Kernel: TalonDEV 0.5.1

No OC/UV

Model: Rogers Captivate I896
[Captivate Android Development] Platypi007:
How can we uninstall Swype? It won't let me do it through "manage applications".
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Do it with Titanium Backup if you have it. Then use something like Root Explorer to make sure all the dregs are cleaned out our the new Swype won't work properly. Trust me, been there, done that. I don't have the directories right in front of me that you should check, sorry, that's home on my desktop.

[Captivate Android Development] bennijai:
Use Tibu to uninstall Swype

Then use Root Explorer and

delete "libSwypeCore.so" from /system/lib/

Reboot and install Swype Beta, Sign up is free and the rest of the instructions is pretty straight forward from their website.

Hey, I'm really a big fan of this ROM, so thanks for your efforts. I had issues at first, but I reinstalled the ROM and this time did not restore system apps and data, just user apps, and it runs much, much better.

Is there a way to install the Android Keyboard for 9.3? Thanks.

dear froli..do u think that reflashin the rom will solve my problem of import export to sd card...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try if that works for you, as it works for everyone else.. try karne me kya jaata h :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Try pushing the attached Contacts.apk to /system/app/ first. It's the one from MattedBlues theme and it works for me.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just pushed the Contacts.apk from ApeX and it works too. Dunno what you could have done for it to stop working! :P Did you flash any "unsuported" theme?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Welcome to the neighborhood!

Honestly, now that the Gingerbread source is out there somewhere, it's just wait and see for me. Ha!

Hey Watsaa, I know that you just kind of started ROM'ing, but are you checking out the Gingerbread source in your spare time in addition to upcoming tweaks to Apex? :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i gave up on froyo now :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I was hoping you'd say that. This means you are scrubbing through the Gingerbread sources nowadays, eh?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
What do you think? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
than froli..i will do that first before re flashing,...

but here i m a lil new..so sorry to ask like a fool..can u tell me how to push this apk...

thanx in advance..

hey watsaa...i didnt know that u know hindi...yes i think i will try froli's solution first then reflash..try karne mein sach mein kuch nahi jaata...:P

and guys..did u try this new inbuilt call recorder which i posted..it worked great..and u can attach it in ur apex as well..so ppl wont hav to reflash...

and yes one more good thing abt apex rom...and for me its really great...i use sipdroid aswell..and when i was using sipdroid on foryo for making or receiving calls..it was working but in bluetooth handsfree i could hear the caller but caller couldnt hear me..now i just tried..and it worked in this rom...i m sooooo happy....

still testing..will come up with more benefits of ur rom...as review....coz i keep digging.....:P
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
do u have root explorer? if yes then copy contacts.apk into system/app folder

however i would still suggest you that before you try this, ensure that your SD card is available for use, goto contacts and see if u have those options..
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
i really dont know what is wrong..coz i just wiped cache...factory reset from cwm menu..

and even formatted my sdcard....still i dont see the ..i had around 10 gb left out of 13 gb..now its again 13 gb after the format..then rebooted the phone..

still cant see the import/export option from sd card

is there anythin to do with re partition..or sd card file system..or cwm has advance menu for file system...shd i play around with that...??
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have no idea now what could be the problem. here is what i suggest:

1. reflash apeX again.

2. without using TiBU to restore ur data go to contacts and see if u have these options.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
here is what i did....

from the very begining..i had nothing not my internal sd card..as i had just formatted...

then i just copied apex.zip in android folder in sd card..

then rebooted the phone in recovery by the shut down menu...

then i got cwm...

i selected teh option of select and install zip from sd card...

i did that...it showed like deleting and formattin n stuff like that...then after the completion...i went back in cwm menu..and selected the option reboot now..

after the reoot again i was in recovery type menu..where it said that it found a diff file system if i wanted...then it had 3 option of yes and yes with back and yes without backup and factory format..i selected the option..yes with no backp and factory format...

then after the file config time it just rebooted..and reboot took time..as it was first boot...

not i didnt install anything..not even google ac...nothing at all..no tibu...if u meant titanium backup..or any other backup,.,went to contacts,,then export import option..and what i get is....again those 3 option..import from sim..export to sim and send namecard via...

grrrrrrrrrr :(((((((((((((

now after typing this..i will use my phoen explorer to take the screenshot and will attach...
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
and yes..i m not able to do as froli said..not able to push..or copy contacts.apk provided by froli..

in sdk..after gettin the su permission and # i type thr command of push..or of remount..and it says adb not found...or some or the other error..

now my mind is fried...i did everything i could...
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
The only time I get the same thing as your screenshot is when I don't have an external SD card installed. :)
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
dude...i already mentioned..that i dont hav external sd card installed...i only hav internal sd card...

and i never had external sd card ever..

but i had that option of import/export from sd card in past...when i was using eclair .

but if just getting the sd external sd card will solve my problem..then i will just get one now and will check it..

lets see

i will update..
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Sorry if I missed your comment about having this ability on another ROM. Then it's a mystery to me. :confused:

Hoping for the best for you when you test out with external SD...

EDIT: Can anyone else verify if they do have import/export to SD without an external SD card installed on Apex? I know I don't have that feature available when I mine out.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
tested and verified..

finally..i added external sd card and voila...i got that feature of import from sd and to sd....

though i very well remember that i had this feature without external sd aswell...when i was on eclair...thats how i got my contacts on my phone...an di never had external sd..coz 13 gb was sufficient for me...

and i just noticed that i couldnt start camera while i m on a call..i m not able to recall that if its the same with stock roms as well...

just wanna confirm...that is it the bug of this rom..or samsung or android doesnt allow camera use while call is in progress...
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I wonder now if this import/export hiccup is the same on all post-eclair ROMs.

I also cannot start camera while on call, but I wonder if it's possible with a BT headset connected. Mine is in my car a the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
now import export hicup isnt a problem...as its solved by just a sd card..so not an issue..as it is..i was thinking of adding one extra card...

and abt the camera..i always use bluetooth handsfree..right now also i m using it..and tried opening the camera..didnt work...

but i m not sure that if it is h happening now after flashin this rom..or it was happening in stock rom as well..coz i dont remember using camrea on call..while i was on stock rom..

well thats not a big deal..my other frens r using stock rom..i can call them and ask them if they can use....

Calculator questions

1) Am I on crack, or did the Calculator app originally have memory buttons (M+, MR, MC, etc) at some point in the past? Went to use them yesterday and was caught off guard that they weren't there.

2) The current icon for the Calculator [=] is nowhere near as good as the previous one. Please consider putting the old one back... it's more-obvious. :)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
This doesn't address your requests, but I would recommend downloading the free app from the market called RealCalc. So much more better and it has RPN option in the settings.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I actually have this but it shrinks down the buttons I use 99.999% of the time to make room for a myriad of buttons that I pretty much never use. ;) I'd rather have the larger buttons of the stock calc for most of my regular needs.

I also like the multi-line display of the stock calc. But yes, RealCalc is nice... and pretty. Just not the right tool for this job.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Let me see what have i messed once i get ApeX running. Right now i am on JF6 :(
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
another one bug i just noticed...

when i opened thinkfree office..then it has a button..activate now..

and when i click on that...

it says that thinkfree office cannot be activated on this hardware device..

though i can use the LATER button for future activation and use the functions of thinkfree office..

and solution for this??
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
well thinkfree is meant for I9000 if i am not wrong. when i started this ROM i kept the product code as GT-I9000 so that we can use thinkfree, but now i have changed it to SGH-I897 and thats y u get this error.. if i am not wrong to get this feature u can update the product code to I9000 in build.prop before flashing
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
nopes it wasnt only meant for i9000 coz i had it when i was using eclair..it came bundled...when i got it from rogers...

and abt reflashin...i guess i will pass..coz i already flashed 3 times..and now this time..when everythin else is fine i will not wanna reflash and restore all my data..

i will try some alternative way to get rid of that activation button..will let u know if i can do somethin...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
U just need to flash build.prop not the whole ROM, get rid of everything else... just build.prop with a non wipe script

i am sure that we in US never had thinkfree bundled with eclair

EDIT: i am not sure but there would be a version on market too that works with cappy
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
oh...again as a fool if i may ask...:P

can u give me step by step way to flash build.prop...

in my rogers canada thinkfree was there..

another review....i would like to add...

this rom doesnt hav messages in call logs...as it mentioned ..

so i thought the scrolling will be much faster..as it was damn laggy in stock...

now its faster than stock..as it doesnt hav sms log...but still not very smooth...its still laggy...

this is one big bug according to me that when i slide to left to disconnect the incoming call without receiving..then that call number or name shows in missed call in logs...instead of received call with 0 sec value...

I made the CWM zip to change the build version for you. You only have to flash this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?u69qa7qixtdqmk1
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
dude...i m speechless...i dont know what to say...really....THANX wont be just expressin my feelins...

i was just tryin to edit thru ghost commander or..using root explorer to copy one edited file as i didnt know how to create this flash file..

and as u did it for me and uploaded...now i flashed it and activated my thinkfree...(though without activation also i was able to see docouments.)..but u see we all want everything right..

and with ur help i got it...

and now i even learnt how to do it..now if i need to flahs again to with any other product name ..i can do it..

like i can just edit the name there and put it in that zip file again and flash it...

THANX THANX THANX.....its not just coz i got rid of that activation button..its bcoz someone did somethin for me...specially for me..without gettin any special benefit...

generally it doesnt happen...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
froli is a gem of XDA.

btw toldya changing the prod code would help
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
thanx watsaa

yes indeed he is...and yes u told me that changing it to i9000 will help...but i didnt know how to do it...and as he gave me the flash file..i just learnt lot of things..

its sad that i can use thanx button only 5 times...in a day...

but thanx again froli...

and i dont remember that i mentioned or not...that i really found one more thing good compare to froyo..when i was using froyo and i was using sipdroid to make or receive call....i could talk..but i couldnt use my BT handsfree properly..i mean i could hear the person..but the person couldnt hear me..

but with this rom its possible..i dont know how it happened..

but yes as i mentioned in the past to froli on different thread as well...using BT handsfree on Captivate is not a very good idea...there is always a ditortion... :(

it was there in froyo also and its there in this apex as well..
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:

and yes i flashed back to i897..and my swype works fine and i opened thinkfree..it also didnt ask me for activation again..so i guess my prob is finally solved..

may be when i master clear my phone then i might hav to go thru thos procedure again..

just flashed apex coloured settin extended menus...looks cool...

wanna change few of the icon of the apps..like i dont like my files or contacts icon....

is it possible to change...??

and in ur screenshot..i saw that u hav day date month and even battery percent on ur screen,,,can u tell me how can i get that???
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Me?

And by the way, helping others doesn't always means solving their problems. Just sharing your knowledge, or simply answer basics questions that developers don't have much time for. Like "do I have to go back to stock before flashing? "

Devs are doing these things for fun so I think it's normal for us, users, to give some of our time to our favorites projects. :)
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
RIGHT

wanna change few of the icon of the apps..like i dont like "my files" or "contacts" icon....

is it possible to change...??

i wanna chnage my bootanimation as well..and i want a good boot animation with sound like the one i had in stock rom.

and in ur screenshot..i saw that u hav day date month and even battery percent on ur screen,,,can u tell me how can i get that???
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. To change boot animation - add your bootanimation.zip in system/media folder.

2. To get shutdown sound back rename shutdown.ogg.bak to shutdown.ogg in system/media/audio/ui

3. To get your icons back - pull the myfiles and contacts apk from ApeX. Add .zip to their name. dump your icons into drawable-hdpi. Name should ofcourse be same.

4. Add all these to a non wipe CWM file and flash
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
For the apps icon, you need to open every apk in WINRAR or similar and change the right png. As simple as that. (If I'm right)

For the bootanimation, maybe you'll find something in the international SGS section.

And for my widgets, the one for the date and everything, it's a Launcher Pro Plus widget. And the other one is Text Battery Widget Pro
