i cant get root priviledges at all. same with symply gs2.

anyone else have these issues? i cant restore TiBu due to no root access. its really annoying. id like to run a 2.3.4 rom but cant aquite root access on any of them.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
using this kernel with update-2 for a day, works just fine
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Did you go back to stock or try superoneclick?

I had to go back tot stock to get root on 2.3.4. Others have been lucky using superoneclick to root.
[Captivate Android Development] varunkumars:
Does voodoo control app work in this ROM. Help me guys.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
damn.. made me jones....
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
I was replacing .9 png with .9png

recompiling is a little over my computers head :(
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
ill give it a shot. just flashed to stock, and flash GB boot loaders. hopefully ill get lucky
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
time to use apktool and apkmanager
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Looks like update 2 could have a new kernel....;)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Sorry not that one.
[Captivate Android Development] juxtyce:
I found an app called touchwiz sorter I think.

Never mind, answered already.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
That helped. Was able to change some of the icons :D now to play and learn. Need to see if I can do it again
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, you can't just do a simple drag and drop replace with .9 pngs.

Your computer should be able to handle it. :-)

As Watsaa mentioned, use apktool or apkmanager. Once you learn, there's no stopping. LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Is it allowing you to tap the letters but not actually swype words?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
The new wallpaper from about 2-3 pages back has been uploaded to dropbox watsaa
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
yeah sorry guys....I don't have dropbox access at work, computer security blocks it:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
If you could please instead of posting them here so it saves me a little time searching for them could you please email them to me
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
sure thing....if I remember, no guarantees ;)

:cool::cool:
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Agreed!! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Quick question, do I need to download/install apex 7 and update 1 or can I just go straight to the update and install that?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Watsaa sent you a PM.. you might be happy with this one
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
When it's a no-wipe version you need to flash the last wipe version first. No matter what rom you want to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
That is a good thing to know, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Or come from a fresh stock install, correct? I thought no wipe just meant your apps were not cleared but if you have nothing installed, it is like a fresh install.

BUT, it is different for an update because it will only update what was there from the version being updated. You then need the rom installed.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Basically, a wipe version is the complete rom and a no-wipe version contains only the things that changed. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Humm, I think you are describing an update, not a non-wipe version ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Its like this over on serendipity 7 mikey makes a no wipe update file for those already on a previous version of serendipity 7 but he also updates the complete rom so if your coming from stock you can just flash the rom without having to flash update files. get what im saying.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Is there 2 download links for the complete rom? One wipe and one no-wipe?

Asking because, example, if you flash S7 no-wipe over apex you will surely get into problems...
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Correct. A no-wipe ROM is the ROM but you need to come from stock and not another ROM. If you come from another ROM, it will not wipe that ROM and you will have problems. Come from stock and it is a fresh install and no updates will be needed.

An update will update what needs changed/fixed, and can only be applied to the ROM it applies to. Like an ApeX update will not update Mosaic (example).
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
There is no such thing really as a no wipe complete rom. your always supposed to wipe before you flash a new rom. ill give you an example. Im on Apex right now if I wanted to go to serendipity 7 i would go into setting and go into privacy and factory reset ok then all you gotta do is put S7 on your SD card boot into recovery and flash it over Apex. Now lets say on on S7 and a NO WIPE Update package comes out. all you do is put it on your SD and flash it

TAKEN FROM S7 WEBSITE

These updates are NOT cumulative; strictly from A to B.

Flash with Recovery Mode.

No backup is required.

Updates will NOT install if you are not on the correct ROM/Version.

These updates will NOT change your kernel. Update your kernel regularly.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Personally, I would prefer do flash a wipe version for a new rom version. This way you are sure to start from scratch. And it's easier for the dev to track down issues because everyone who use the said version started from the same base.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Then go to Serendipity 7 he updates his Wipe Version Roms to include the updates.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but there are non-wipe roms. If I went from Apex 6.1 to ApeX 6.5 example), it could be a non wipe for those on ApeX 6.1. I would want to wipe SD if coming from another ROM. I could load the non wipe like a wipe rom if coming from a fresh install of stock.

Since ApeX 7-Change 1 only needed to change the kernel, browser and a few other things, it was an update to the ROM, but not the full ROM. Makes downloads smaller.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
When I come from a different ROM, I always return to stock and then flash. But you can do it with a wipe or non-wipe ROM. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Even if the rom version number change, it doesn't mean that it contains the complete rom ;)

Believe me, if it contains ALL the files needed for a rom to work, it's a wipe version.

edit: watsaa named it 7-Update-1, but it could have been 7.3 or 7.5 if wanted to..
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
You are correct but the point still stands

1. Updates are No wipe

2. Wipe when switching roms
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Also after the dev gets the next update out the team working on this rom including me will be making some new features including a website and all that goodness so look forward to that everyone

And yes the Wipe Version of this rom is gonna have to be eventually updated unless you want to flash the base rom then 7 updates lol
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
"rubs hands together".......looking forward to testing next update.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
what are you guys talking about? :confused::confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
This its what you get when you don't give updates every five minutes or so :D : p
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
that was funny :P
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Every time I flash, full ROM or update, I wipe my arse.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
It's a must.. who wants rombleberries hanging around from past flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Anyone getting Facebook status updates and Media in Contacts?

Neither are showing up although the contacts are "linked" with FB..
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
When there is a no-wipe update, I take this one, but I always wipe cache and dalvik cache. There is way too many people who forget to do it. There's so many problems that can be avoided by doing this...

That's why I added lines to wipe caches in the updater-script of MattedBlues for ApeX. :)
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
did you link your facebook account through the official facebook app?
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
All my FB friends are in my contacts and I can go to their facebook profile through contacts.

My Contacts and facebook friends are synced through the settings in the facebook app. That's how I've always done it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Exactly what it did.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
you have to sync via the facebook app

Thats the right way to get them to show up in your contacts

This is a known issue over on the swype forums (they are ****ty though) but that happened to me and all you have to do to fix it is go to settings uncheck the keyboard from being able to be used you know then reenable it or try using another keyboard untill you reboot a couple times. i dont know how to exactly fix it because on mine it fixed itself so what I said should help you
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I just uninstalled and reinstalled later. Been working great since.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Awesome hit that thanks button =p
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
done 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Very nice!
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
your Signature says Apex Update 2 does that mean we are close to a release?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
TiBu back up running, and getting ready for my previously mentioned wipe methods. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Xperia Arc launcher correct?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
thats what launcher that is
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I recognized the rectangular page indicators and the dock icon style looked familiar.
[Captivate Android Development] accordztech:
Forgive me, im a cognition user =). But what is the difference between apex and gingerbread?

I dont want to convert over, but I want to play netflix on my i897 captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Apex runs Gingerbread 2.3.4 so they are technically the same thing and you have to be on gingerbread to play netflix. if your a hardcore Cognition fan DesignGears is working on a Gingerbread version of Cognition
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
DG is all over the place! I heard he also just released an SGS2 ROM.

Now back on topic. F5 F5 F5...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Apex for atrix will be out soon
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
F5 can wait for a day :D
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
yup he has perception for 2.2

Perception 2 for gingerbread

Cognition for SGS2

Cognition for Gingerbread (coming soon)

Cognition for 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] juxtyce:
weird thing, I just installed and tried to run skype, FC's. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
What do you mean, the moto atrix? I have the atrix and think this would be awesome, can you give any hints on what it includes? I can't wait!
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
i just installed to test it but its working fine for me try wiping data
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, I was just kiddin' ya. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Thanks for the info. I'll pass that along to a friend who has one.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Hmm Thats what I did and the green icons are there but their status updates are not in the headers nor can I tab over to media and see their uploaded pics. Flashed Serendipity 6.4 and all was as expected. Blue FB icons. No "Social Hub" and all synced through Settings accounts.

Well looks like i897 GB ROMs are dropping soon. Maybe they will be free of Samsung Apps
[Captivate Android Development] accordztech:
Im not a die hard fan, it just works lol.

I wonder when the gingerbread version of cognition is comming out?

Well I may play around with the rom. Since I run cognition 4.5.3 should I flash back to factory then flash this rom?

Or just go for it and flash what I currently have?

Do I have to flash back my kernel to OEM?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Follow the instructions in the OP. It tells you what you need to do.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I got rid of "social hub" in next update and now after some fixes FB works fine. Now if you can save your sarcasm and keep it with you

Any info on your atrix rom? I have an atrix also, and am looking forward to you developing for it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
patience buddy patience :D

I hear you, no rush, just excited, take your time!
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Hey there, I am on Serendipity 7 2.3.3 right now, just wondering which package I download from the first page to install this. Apex 7 wipe package?
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
It's been great. It's right on par with most of the other GB ROMS I've tried which were a big improvement for me over Froyo ROMS.

It helps if you know the problem apps like Google Maps that literally suck battery and have done so on every ROM I've tried. That gets frozen almost right away. Google needs to fix that thing and the problem isn't limited to the Galaxy S line. It's happening on the droids and HTC's as well.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
You download the Apex 7 Wipe package then after you flash it, flash the update-1 zip over it remember to clear cache and dalvic cache

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
He has removed alot of apps in the new update coming out soon I haven't discussed with him which apps are removed so idk if Google maps is one but if you read the post above socialhub is gone

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
thanks. How many hours does it usually last with your usage?
[Captivate Android Development] accordztech:
Thanks. I didnt realize the stock name of the stock rom. However since i went back to eclair 2.1 using odin i dont have the download option again.

Did a bunch of crap and bricked my phone. But i was able to use odin and flash in the factory rom. Im happy.

Now i think i have to make a jig.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
DAMN this rom is smooth :D just need full touchwiz 4 for it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
11 hrs yesterday with 4 of them screen time. 2.5 hours solid gaming. 163 emails. 87 mins phone calls and a lil over 300 texts. 30 mins web browsing and a full tibu backup of 124 apps. Music almost all day. Oh.... 30 min gps run also (spot on too). For me, thats great battery.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
that damn thing is nice looking but becomes laggy and unstable on JVP for some reason. trying to include it in next update if i can
[Captivate Android Development] theamazingtommy:
I am getting some crazy memory leak issues. My RAM sits around 10% to 20% right into boot.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Apex is running even smoother(IMHO) after flashing existz jvp voodoo kernel v1.0 yesterday.

I am still however perplexed by my sd card being read as usb storage...When looking in settings, under sd card and phone storage it says total space and available space is unavailable.? Also, option to mount sd card is grayed out! Under usb storage it says total space 13GB...thats my INTERNAL SD??? Not sure whats up!
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
I am having memory issues as well. I am lucky to have 60MB free and can run only 1 app at a time for the most part. I am running the same apps/widgets/launcher that I did with Froyo (actually, quite a bit less) and never, ever had an issue with this before.

Any time I use the web browser, even for simple pages, and hit the home button, Launcher Pro needs to reload all of its icons and widgets.

Actually -- I hate the browser, the way it scrolls shows lots of checkerboards and only goes one "page" at a time up and down, zooming is very choppy, and the "overscroll" effect when you reach the edges of the page when panning is awful.

The ROM is great, don't want to come off as being overly critical, but these two issues are pretty major and I just want to know if it is typical and/or if there are any workarounds.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Anyone else lose the ability to push apps to the phone from market.android.com?

I also rolled back to ApeX 7 without the update. I wasn't happy with the way it ran on xcals kernel and I rarely use BT.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
I know, what i meant was "my computer and MY knowledge" :o :(

actually my computer does not play well with java , sdk, adb which limits apk managers abilites but was able to use apk manager to get the status bar to change :D will keep playing

looking for a good tutoral on porting themes. have not found anything that i can undestand well yet. :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Thanks for the donation refund !!!! I passed it on to XDA.

And I think you are on the right track with dumping the Social Hub.....

Keep it up. You'll get there. I wish I could donate a thicker skin to you..
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
ok guys i successfully flashed this rom.. my first gingerbread rom actually. i was on 2.2 (firefly 3.0) before and this is 100x times better! Im on apex 7 with the talon kernal. How would i go about and flash the v1 update from this? thanks a lot! lovee this rom :) :).. everything is smooth as butter
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I wish I could donate you a kick in the nuts. You really deserve it
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Watsaa I see that Existz put out Talon 2.2 is this going to be in the next release. right now using S7 v4 :o was having some issues with wifi connecting. it said it was connected but sometimes would not actually talk? S7 has helped but it feels funny to see the S7 logo when i am using Apex :o
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Put the update 1 zip on the phone and flash it like any other

I would flash twice though. You'll get a freakishly scarey black screen for a while. Don't panic, its normal

Once booted up, reflash talon when ur done if you like. Update 1 drops a kernel change
[Captivate Android Development] ViniD:
Just place update on sd card, go into recovery and select intall from zip and select the update. Its a no wipe update so dont worry about backing up everything
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
so just throw it on my sd card.. and flash it from recovery mode?

is some robotic lady supposed to be talking..weirrddd lol
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
LMFAO, :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Damn look your donation got you nowhere. No wait a minute it was your mouth that did it.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Yup its as easy as that. Like we've said its a no wipe, so no need for backup. Robotic lady voice is voodoo lagfix enabling...did you select to enable it?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Voodoo lagfix. Normal.
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
are tweaks and ext4 supposed to work after the update? it says 'A cf-root kernel was not detected. ext4 manager may not function properly' and it closes out out...same for tweaks.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
They will not work with the kernel change-1 loaded. The next update will have a kernel that they will work with. Wait until then to use those apps.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
From OP:

ApeX 7-Update-1 change logs:

1. Switched kernel to XCal's JVP kernel. This takes care of BT problems till we figure out whats wrong on Apex with Talon's. (Its a good idea to disable all tweaks applied on Talon before flashing this update, CWM Tweaks & EXT4 apps dont work on XCal, Ignore them for now )
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
the tweak apps don't work on existz new releases either, as they also use voodoo initramfs
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
+1

Viv,

Existz new jvp kernel still bug free and smooth for you?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
no problems to speak of
[Captivate Android Development] F1reEng1neRed:
I plug it in each night, but at that point, it has been unplugged for about 14-15 hours and usually still at around 65.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Just realized Talon 0.2.2 jvp is out....wondering if there is any benefit other than OC?
[Captivate Android Development] sstarre:
Now THAT"S a cause I'd donate too !

I knew there was a reason I liked you, Viv ! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I thought it was my kind nature and cute smile?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Watsaa, I'll replace that donation you recently refunded from that special someone. Confirmation number in your PM. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yes, tons of changes in 0.2.2 for Talon, not just higher OC. New initramfs (should fix BT issue), ZRAM upstream fix, some usb fixes (the clock it charges at with usb plugged in..etc) ..plus alot more
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Is swype working for u now?
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
noob question but if i wanted to flash this talon 0.2.2 over the current apex 7 update 1 version... would i just simply flash it via recovery over what i have now?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
+ 1 also lmfao
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Sorry wasn't thinking. It's a tar file so you'll have to flash it via odin or heimdall.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Theming Swype 3.0? Hell no. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
If your wanting to just flash the kernel alone, you will have to flash it with Odin/Heimdall ...you can use SGS Kernel flasher app, but Odin/Heimdall is highly recommended.. There is no cwm zips for Talon
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
For oc/uv which app is needed
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Voltage Control from Market works well for me
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
use voltage control from XAN.. it is on market
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
As someone fairly new to flashing custom roms, what are the benefits of oc/uv'ing, are there any risks to it, and simply "is it worth it"?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
people debate it all the time but i dont find any good reason to overclock or undervolt overclocking just works your phone harder (kills it faster) and undervolting is only good is you have charging deaths. what im saying is there is really no pure motive to do either
[Captivate Android Development] cbasse:
So, safe to say that unless I'm looking to have my phone cook me breakfast and clean my house (in addition to making calls), there's no good reason to do either?

Related question - is the Talon kernel oc'd/uv'd by default? Or is it up to the user to decide if they want to do that?

Thanks for your help!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Actually just because you don't use it, doesn't mean its worthless...There is some advantages to overclocking, such as if u use emulators or really any other cpu intensive app, its going to be help things.... Also, there's really only a small chance of sleep death with UVing, its alot more stable than it was on froyo...but if your phone is from the batch of imeis that has a known problem of sleep/charge death, then that's the phones fault...some people get them with stock kernels.. But as long as you have stable settings, it shouldn't happen (unstable settings causes this as well).. but as long as you have stable settings, UVing can actually help battery wise.

But if you just txt/talk on your phone, then no there's no point..but if that's all you do anyways, what's the point in running a custom rom/kernel?...
[Captivate Android Development] entraik:
Anyone elses phone get really hot. mine was at 95 degrees on 2.2 rom firefly... Hittin 107 on the update 1 version of apex hmmm
