One in awhile the lock screen will kind of get caught. Like I can see the background apps while on the lock screen. I'm still on the lock screen but I can see the apps and widgets of my main page.

Any other suggestions to correct this.

Changing to launcher pro or sony launcher didn't help...

wow, i just bought a captive backup phone and it allready had installed apex rom, pretty good..

smooth only thing i noticed was the pinch zoom bug..no biggie though.

great work.
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
I had the same problem, but fixed it after freezing Google Maps and SNS Service with TiBu. Apparently SNS service in my running applications was constantly restarting itself which causes the battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
It actually worked... I'm amazed how simple this is!
[Captivate Android Development] Dorilife:
Might sound dumb but i cant boot into recovery, i just got a captive..

My other phone is a i9000

I read how to get into recovery but still no luck.

Both volume+power till 2nd boot splash and release just power?

All i get is black screen..

On Apex 8.1 just incase.

Srry for noob question.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
unplugged at 100% before..17 hours 27 mins ...2 hours 27 mins talktime..1 hour 5 mins screen on..and now at 41%....wifi was off all time..as i wasnt at home..no mobile network enabled also...

8.2 with dc kernel...

lagfix disabled...

didnt see any lag...

everything seem to be perfect as of now...and obviously with the brighter screen...
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
you can try old method....

take out ur battery...hold the vol up n down key together...then while holdin just insert the battery..and then ur data cable which is connected to ur pc....

or if doesnt work..then u can do alternatively...while holdin up n down vol key..connect ur data cable then insert the batt

just saw that u already on 8.1..so has to be cwm in...

so just press the vol down button along with power..and u r in download mode..
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
To get into recovery on GB rom you need to hold only Volume up(not both vol)+ power then release power when you see the splash. Its a little different then froyo when you hold both power buttons :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I don't blame rfs for every lag. I just suggest everyone to use the best filesystem available. And it's proven to be ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
From a benchmarking/technical standpoint it may be the best, but not for all phones. At least for me, my phone runs markedly better on rfs. I usually tell people, try them both and use whatever your phone likes better. :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I wasn't phone specific. I mean that ext4 is a better filesystem than rfs.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Proven by who? I haven't seen any proof. If anything... using Antutu system benchmark and my own daily usage proves that RFS is better then EXT4 on GB. In-fact it showed read and write though-put to be the same but the database I/O was considerably better with rfs. These aren't full blown computer systems and you can't compare them. Just like everyone else around here.... someone once said ext4 was best and everyone believed it.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
Hey guys, maybe for the new 8.3 version, we can add a bigger SGII weather widget and at the same time, fix the one is already in.

btw, great rom, love it,

now i am testing ext4 enable, darkcore kernel so far so good, not laggy as talon .
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Like I said, I only talk from a filesystem point of view, not talking about phones. Samsung has their reasons for pushing RFS, so it can't be that bad. But in terms of filesystem, EXT4 is better.

EXT4 is a filesystem written for linux kernel when RFS is, in fact, a FAT filesystem with journalising.

[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
Here is a good read on RFS, EXT4 with some EXT2 thrown in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799931

I am no expert but after reading this explanation I would think it would be entirely possible (probably likely) that the way RFS is setup by Samsung is different on 2.3.3/2.3.4 than on the 2.2.X ROMs.

Samsung appears to have botched the early go-round, but with GB performance has been way better.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Thanks for sharing!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Got curious so reverted to rfs and ran some benches. scores= best of three runs

Antuntu

Rfs 2927

Ext4 3015

Smartbench

Rfs 904

Ext4 954

Quadrant

Rfs 1651

Ext4 2463

The proof is in the pudding guys. Ive been on ext4 since day one. Say what you want about benchmark tests but in the end they GUAGE performance and every test shows elevated i/o performance with ext4. Smartbench doesnt show i/o score but does score higher with Ext4.

Just tried but still no luck, i cant even get into download mode..

Im thinking the previous owner screwed something up because when i think im in recovery screen stays black, just the bottom buttons

Go on.. menu-home-back-search

Maybe bad kernal? Phone is on talon..

But if i have no recovery and cant get into download how can i fix?

I tried also with extended power menu...

Rom manager..

Weird...never had this happen to me and ive been flashing for awhile now.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Yeah try flashing a differrnt kernel (from the list in the OP) with Odin, darkcore seems stable. If that doesn't work try going back to Stock GB with mrhaley's No-bootloader Odin 3file package. (yes watsa, these are ur instructions :o)

I had almost the same problem but my phone got stuck in the talon logo, yours can boot.. So... Try it! See how it goes.

I have android sdk installed but i dont have my laptop right now..

I flashed darkcore through sgs kernal flasher but still cant get into recovery, i think i get to it but cant see, its a messed up colored screen.

Also when i boot the phone normally i get the color screen glitch also..had this on talon recovery also..

Btw i couldnt see the talon recovery boot..

And cant get into download mode to flash with odin.

Since you were able to get into recovery before, it's probably not a thing with ur phone, so you must be able to fix it :)

[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I am back on I9000 bootloaders and now running Darkcore kernel, RFS only.

Just anecdotal, but the phone feels like it's running smoother, and battery drain during my normal usage is slower.

Too bad I won't know which of the two changes did it...or if both.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Same for me, and am able to reboot into recovery with terminal app.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:

are you hitting enter after su and waiting for it to ask for permission?

Yes. First time I granted su permission, after d that the message pops up it has been granted permission

There's this Root Booter app that works for me. It's not quite the same recovery from the Power Menu, since this doesn't turn off the phone before rebooting. I've never adb rebooted so don't know if this has the same function but probably it does. U should try it.

Apex 8.2, Dark Core + Ext 4

i switched to dark core couple days ago, then i enabled ext4, the phone seams to be smoother and more stable, .. about battery, seams better, but i think i need to wait a little longer before to say : " great battery life". (picture attached)

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

But today i switched to airplane mode before the plane took off, when i landed and turn off airplane mode, i noticed that my battery went up .. did i get more juice ?

any ideas why?

btw, just one day after using ext4 and my battery is 30% after 9h 40 min of heavy use. (even mobile AP on for one hour)
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
I have an idea why...might not be right... :). My idea: battery is measuring voltage, any time there is a load on a battery the voltage is slightly depressed, when the load is reduced considerably, voltage will increase....that is what you are seeing.

Another example - try shooting pictures with flash on a nearly dead battery one after the other...it will shut down due to low battery. Wait 5 minutes and you can shoot another pic (nearly always)

dude...call recording is illegal only if the other person isn't aware of the recording..if u tell the other person that u r recording the call..

then its not illegal..

i know a lil law too...

and call recording feature was there in apex 5.3....

and if this feature is missing in the GB rom..so the reason is now law...its because there is no development in that section till now by any developer..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Alright great one who just gave 1 star, may i know the reason?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
SlickyFat? LOL .....
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
It would still be nice to have the feature. It's up to you if you want to use it out not. In most places, if you inform the other party you are recording and they agree them it is ok.

I certainly miss this feature when I do not have a pen and paper handy and my wife calls and throws me a huge to do list when I'm driving.

However, by no means do I think it should go to the top of the wishlist if there are more important things to troubleshoot. :)

Hey, im back to 2.3.3 but download mode not work. I think dont work because the i900 bootloaders. Can I change the bootloaders? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
If you have the i9000 bootloaders as soon as you boot up the phone you'll see something like galaxy s i-9000.

Try volume down and power rather than all 3 buttons as you now have a "vibrant" and that's the key combination for it.

If that doesn't work you can always use adb, although I would be careful because the button combinations can really save you and not having them is potentially playing with fire.

I would not flash bootloaders for sport as they are one of the only way to hard brick your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
Key Combo?

Are you using power + volume down ? The key combinations are different depending on which bl's you are running. If you want to go back to Cappy Bl's, Cezar has an Odin flashable package you could try. Just be careful when flashing bootloaders as they are the number one reason our devices get bricked.
