I was joking around because everyone asks that question but thanks anyways ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
my phone gets to the Galaxy S and then reboots and dose it all over again
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
When I was using Apex 8.1 this would happen to me non-stop. It just kind of fixed itself... i dunno how...

EDIT: Clear Dalvik cache. If I remember correctly that helped somewhat.
[Captivate Android Development] musikenigma:
Apex 8.3. When i use Browser, it always delays nearly one minute to zoom or use multitouch. I have to refresh twice times before i can zoom or use two finger.
[Captivate Android Development] mwiz123:
thx so much it worked
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Spank that magical thank you button :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thats a known issue with JVQ+ deodexed roms
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
sounds like a brick..

sure u can try making a zig...

if its under warranty then why to take any hassle..just send it over and save urself some time...

but yes ...as i read some more posts regarding ur problem here...that ppl randomly got it working..

so u can try all that with patience...and it might just work for u...

as now we r not sure..that what bootloaders were installed properly last time before this happened..so the combo's for goin into recovery and download mode is diff ...so u hav to keep tryin...that will make u learn somethin new..but will take lot of ur time and ..obviously u need patience...
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
i did use it with 8.2 also...though it wasnt included in 8.2 release...but in some other thread i got some files and replaced talk ..and was workin..and i tested..but its not properly workin stuff...

as video works only in landscape..sometime when call is initiated from comp to phone..then person cant hear me...means it will only work properly when the call is initiated from the phone..

but its always better to hav more functionality.. :p ....

in 8.2..there was no gtalk with video option...
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Nope not impossible because its happening to me. It happened three times so far. On the last time i reinstalled 8.3 and flashed the old talon tar file threw odin. Every time i knew i was on darkcore the recovery menus was gray and when i rebooted i checked my status and it showed i was running darkcore.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Talon.tar? What version?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Irish dude, where you been?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Have you tried SGS Kernel flasher? It will flash both tar and zip kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
when u mentioned old talon tar file...so may i know how many months old or what version... :confused:

coz i see all new talon kernel in zip format.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
9.0 Already?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you dont want 9? :(
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Errrm, based on my experience with 8.3, I probably do (Good experience that is). : I was just marveling at the new major release in the works 5 days after 8.3 was released. Not complaining at all, just commenting. :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea I know, just playing :)
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Is 9 going to be based off JVR? or are you sticking the JVQ route?

Just curious because the I9000 community is getting really excited about JVR but you have said that it's almost identical to JVQ...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
JVR, I started working on it since I had nothing to do :)

There is always an excitement with new release. If you look at some of the comments like "JVR has amazing battery and it is super fast" that came 10 mins after it was released :)
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Haha ya I noticed that as well! I actually prefer the "where did my battery icon go" questions myself. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] dan96815:
I am running Apex 8.3 and DarkCore_3.0_C and it is very smooth!!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
If you don't see it, it is because you have the MattedBlues themed Gtalk. I didn't know watsa came up with a new one in 8.3 so I will include it in next release.

You can still Talk.apk from Apex 8.3 zip and push it to /system/app/ if you want it. Give me some time and I'll retheme it and attach it to this post.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Looks like an APN problem. Go to Settings > Network > Mobile Network > APN

And make sure that you carrier is in the list, and that it is selected. Else you have to add it manually.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
I figured it out last night. All my other internet services were working so it was not apn settings. I fixed it by first connecting to wifi and then all of a sudden it works on 3g as well.

I blame bell. Its always bell's fault
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Agreed!

Watsa, we are ready to play with it as soon as you are ready to give it to us :D
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
That's what she said! But on a serious note...+1
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
The version that came with your flasher on your site... not sure what version it was or is. Right now im on 4.4.8
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thats a old version. And its included to only get CWM
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
Yeah, come on! We went over this! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I know its the old version but I wanted to use Odin to flash cuz I thought it might fix it. Haven't had any problems since I installed 4.4.8. I was having freezes and ran slow after awhile now its snappy all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] bigblue95z:
What 3.0 DarkCore kernel do I use? Getting off http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVR/

There is a DarkCore_3.0_JVR_NV, DarkCore_3.0_JVR_C, and one DarkCore_3.0_JVR.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
DarkCore_3.0_JVR_C
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Beat by Watsa.
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
Apologies if this had been covered but for some reason regardless of how bright my phone is when I launch the camera app it goes super dim. I can't seem to find a setting for this. I'm using ApeX 8.3 with TalonDEV 0.4.4.8. Is there a simple "fix"?

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] supaphreek:
Weird... I dont have the statusbar option in my device customization thing. I am on apex 8.3 with darkcore 2.9 :S

Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
flashed any mod/theme?
[Captivate Android Development] supaphreek:
I flashed the HC lockscreen and the crysis battery mod...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
those mods were not updated till day before. Try and flash them again
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I might need to update the MOD but watsa changed the settings and TSM apks in the update and he would need to give me new ones so I can fix the mod.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
MODs are updated
[Captivate Android Development] supaphreek:
Gotcha, testing that out right now. Also, how do i update to the darkcore 3.0 kernel without installing the wipe again?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
its a tar file so use ODIN
[Captivate Android Development] supaphreek:
Sweet thanks! I got the battery working now :). But where do i get the dark core 3.0 kernel? I only see 2.9 on your front post

edit : found it. Thanks for the help :)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Oh didn't know you did it for me. Thanks for the memo man. :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Google it?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVR/

download the one with "C" in its name
[Captivate Android Development] supaphreek:
Thanks yeah. I found it after searching through the comments here. I didnt know which one to choose :P.

Got everything working :) Thanks alot!
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
That is why .. good, i will wait for the update, btw you theme is awesome
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Where? I only see the 8.1 mods on the site.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
try darkcore kernel once....and see if u r satisfied...
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
9.0! So I guess people have figured a way to deodex JVR without breaking the browser huh? I'm hyped for this thing! That and an official release of Talon 0.4.4. I miss my OC/UV.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Where do u see 8.1? Battery mods for 8.1 are compatible with 8.3
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Nope, deodexing breaks browser since JVQ, it's is still working though, but it works better when not deodexed. The problem is that it's almost impossible to implement all the mods we have to an odexed framework.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Earlier in the thread, you said:

So I went to http://apexromcaptivate.weebly.com/apex-battery-mods.html , and the links point to files that start with Apex_8.1...

I assumed "MODs are updated" meant that the updated files would start with Apex_8.3...
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
And on the battery mod page it says "Flash these using CWM on top of Apex 8.x:" then watsa said "8.1 mods works with 8.3" ...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
When I said mods are updated I was specefically talking about HC lock mods.

All other mods that worked on 8.1 will continue to work on 8.3 irrespective of their file name.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
The instructions on that page specifically say flash on top of 8.X. (8.1, 8.2, 8.3)

Same framework, those don't need to be updated. He meant the other (non-battery) mods on there.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Good to know.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Framework didn't change since 8.1 and battery mods are in framework. That's why there's no need to update them. File name says 8.1 still because we couldn't know that we would keep the same framework for 3+ releases...
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
battery %

loving the apex and appreciate all the time everyone has put into it .

my captivate charges to 100 % then says unplug charger, soon as i unplug it my batter drops to 98% , is this normal ?

i'm also useing the Crysis battery percentage add on , well done !

also wondering if i flashed correctlly , when i power on my phone it says

SGH-I897 on the galasy s screen as it boots.

but about phone says says i9000ugkc1

Model GT-i9000

firmware 2.3.4

kernal 2.6.35.7-i9000

apex 8.3

build gingerbread.xxjvq
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea dropping to ~98% is normal.

As for I9000UGKC1 thats the modem you are using. Apex in basically an I9000 based ROM modifed to work with I897. Everything is fine :)

[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I can try that. I'm confused what the kernel would have to do with the camera app though.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Brightness is way higher on DarkCore kernel. Existz lowers it so it drains less battery.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Hmm...I seem to get better battery life on DC kernel vs Talon.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Me too. But the fact remains that display and brightness are what drains the most out of our batteries.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You have nothing to lose. Try flashing back to stock JF6 and master clear. The flash the rom you want to use.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
K, thanks for the tip! Hows the bayer life for apex 5, btw? The same as 4.1?

Edit: battery, not bayer. Stupid swype.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
wow of all rom i used i think this is the smoothest at least for me maybe but gps sucks for me dont know why when i use adams rom i get quick lock but anyways been waiting for the next update cant wait :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If Adam's GPS fix works for you try flashing it over this.. It didnt work for me :( and the stock files from Apex does wonders
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
This error is fixed in 5.1
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
tried to dl the 5.0 to 5.1 there is no app on the folder of the update or i am mistaken?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
no there is nothing.. its just updating the build.prop

did u try adam's GPS fix?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
yeah i did tried it it work like a charm i get lock now with 6 satellites :p my only comment is give more color to the themes and i notice that the backlight of the soft button does not lit up upon touching the screen other than that it the best rom for me at least right now will try to get SP kernel hope it will rhyme with the rom :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes i need to work on lighting up buttons.. thanks for your appreciation.. it really matters
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
What he said.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
No please, do not fix this! It eats up the battery when you get more than 2 hours of screen time. It really makes a difference I think.

For those who need this, there's an app in the market for you. It's called Keep The Lights On

And by the way, this ROM flies with SP kernel :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
here is what i can advice... Flash Apex, dont flash anything else over it, dont restore your apps + data using TiBU and then see if you still have problems with Fring... If yes then find a better option than Fring :D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Maybe Fring just doesn't work with JS* builds... You might try a JPY or KB1 ROM and see if it works. If it doesn't work, then come back to Apex :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
i doubt the kernel that he is using :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Everyone should use SuckerPunch ;)

But the fact that he's the only one reporting this problem makes me think he just need a "flash back to stock and masterclear" fix.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
SuckerPunch #59 gave me earpiece audio issues on Skype. Reverted back to #58 and no more issues.

On a bright note, this is a pretty fast rom.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
With that score I guess you are using loops. It is really not suggested, it could corrupt you data. And the extra boosts in benchmarks are fake. JFYI..
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
Not sure if it is still true now but a while back I demonstrated that loops had a very significant performance impact on the Touchdown database, which is crucial for many. Need to test again.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
In what sense?

So far no data corruption yet.

Are there reports of data corruption?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Binds and loops are placebo. It's the old way of "lagfixing" don't know what it does really but it just increase benchmark scores and I know it's not safe. On the other hand, Voodoo (or speedmod lagfix) converts data, dbdata, cache and system partifion from RFS to EXT4 fs (ext4 is the mostly used fs in linux systems). Wich will improve performance and stability. It doesn't make a big difference in benchmarks though...

I don't know much about how it works, or what it does to cause instability, but I know it's not suggested anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
True, its kinda funny, even with UV'ing on talon, battery still seems on DC. Maybe because DC kernel is more "stock".

I typically keep my brigthness setting on Min(lowest). When I go out(daytime) I switch to auto every now and then. Like you said, with DC kernel being brighter, even during the day, minimum brightness is enough.
[Captivate Android Development] henge:
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but ever since switching to 8.3 with the KF1 music player, I've been having nothing but issues with it. Half of my songs won't play anymore and it freezes up all the time. Does it with both Dark Core and Talon Kernels. Anyone have the apk for the samsung music player that was on 8.2?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
If you still have the 8.2 zip you can simply pull the music.apk from it and paste in in system/app with root explorer, then reboot :)
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I was getting freezing issues on 8.2 before watsa included the KF1 player in 8.3. I guess it's a bootloader issue. I'm on i897 GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
i agree..tested it many times...

but i checked..screen is not draining as much battery on dc than talon..even being brighter..

well my settings are also the same...always set on minimum..and always visible...even in daylight..and i get good battery backup..today only..i got 2hour 30 mins screen on time..2 hour 10 mins voice call...20 min internet call...wifi was on..
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Dark core kernel rocks. Ive gotten better battery life and a white on my screen that looks like snow, and not that 1st gen gameboy colored tan that voodoo provides.
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
thanks for the info , just had a quick Q:

my captivate says

Kernal 2.6.35.7-i9000 ect ect

then it says #darkcore_2.9_JVQ_C

so i am running dark core 2.9 , on others signatures i see they are running

Dark Core 3.0 i have searched but am unable to locate , anyinfo your able to pass along ? , thanks again all !

Dark Core 3.0

i just flashed DC 3.0 using sgs tools .. seems that works smoother than the last version but my battery drains faster.. so, i think i have to give few more days to the battery gets used to the new kernel
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
You know that can be easily changed right? Voodoo control app in the market. I guarantee you you can get better whites and more contrast with voodoo color.
[Captivate Android Development] latinoguy:
Hi, excellent rom, I just want to know how to customize TWlauncher, is it possible, thnks.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I don't have any color controls in the Voodoo app using the DarkCore_3.0_JVR_C kernel. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
thanks so much !

best to flash with sgs tools ? , or ....... with odin ? pda or phone slot ?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Either Odin or SGS. If Odin, in the PDA spot.
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
thanks you ! i have sgs loaded but not sure how to do it in there ,unless its the sgs kernal flasher , as i have captivate sgs tools.

so will stick with odin for now , ty :)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yes, it is the SGS kernel flasher. I like and use Odin but several XDA post's state SGS kernel flasher can flash both .tar and .zip so I guess it could be handy.
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
ok , thanks for info odlin all done now on 3.0

thanks all !
[Captivate Android Development] latinoguy:
Did you download and istall this kernel in your samsung captivate http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVR/DarkCore_3.0_JVR_C.tar/download wich method did you use to do it? thnks
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
That is the correct kernel for a Captivate. Start Odin, link the PDA spot to the DarkCore kernel you downloaded, put your phone into download mode, attach the USB cable. Odin should recognize the phone and assign a port. Do not select repartition. Reboot is fine along with reset time. Click start and wait about 10 seconds until Odin says "Passed" and turns green. Unplug USB and wait for phone to boot. Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] latinoguy:
Thnks I will do it until full battery charge.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
You can do it now, unless your battery is very low. It will not effect your battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Does DC have voodoo color? If not, control app won't show color controls.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Nope, just Voodoo sound, which is why I didn't understand this:

DC could really use Voodoo color. Even at the lowest setting, it's pretty bright.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I believe the statement was Talons whites are tan by default, and he said you can use voodoo control on talon to adjust it, which you can on talon...not darkcore ...also, with a little amount of adjusting you can make whites really white with voodoo color controls

Also, I have done nothing to make things darker on talon, that's just how it is with nexus/voodoo color for 2.3.4, which again, with a little amount of tweaking with voodoo control, you can make things some what brighter by adjusting color values/gamma
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am sure airtower was talking about the Talon. He replied to somone that colors can be changed with Talon using voodoo control app
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
yes thats the file i used on my captivate , i used odlin to flash it from downlaod mode : )
[Captivate Android Development] ex-28:
hmm flashing a kernal on a low battery will affect its amout % left ?

i always thought flashing on full batt was to ensure you dont run out of power while its flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
True, but when flashing a kernel, your phone is getting charged through the USB cable the 15 seconds it takes to flash the kernel. Hopefully ANY flashing is not being done with an extremely low battery.

Flashing a ROM is different and can create problems if flashed with the USB plugged in. Doing that can break WiFi or data transfer. ROM's should be flashed on a full battery or you will have to do a battery calibration after ROM installation when the battery is fully charged. I have flashed a ROM with 50% battery and calibrated the battery later, if I liked and kept the ROM.

The kernel can effect battery usage after being installed but will not wipe batt stats when flashed.

EDIT: When flashing with Odin, the USB is plugged in. Since that is my preferred method, that is what I was referencing. I agree there should be no USB plugged in when flashing SGS kernel flasher or CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] keithzorz:
It started with 8.2 and is still happening with 8.3. The browser will freeze after the page has loaded and I try to scroll or pinch to zoom. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Most posters with browser problems on JVQ and JVR try another browser like Dolphin. Do a browser search to find more browser suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Or if browser is more important to you than lockscreens try my odexed JVR rom

I get the browser to work on 8.3 by pressing home button from browser and coming back into it
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I've NEVER used stock browser, I don't understand the point, so many great ones on the market. Have you tried dolphin, opera? Lots out there man. Not worth the headaches imo.

Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
True dat! Do it all the time

Place the kernel on your internal sdcard. Click on sgs k flasher. Choose kernel. click on the back arrow (parent directory) scroll down and find your kernel. select it and install majic happens!
[Captivate Android Development] keithzorz:
Thanks for the input. I have tried other browsers in the past but didn't feel they were as quick as the stock browser. I suppose now is a good time to give them another try.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Agreed almost 100% however your first sentence is somewhat incorrect (with GB roms) the phone should absolutely not be plugged in during kernel flashing. The system can become corrupt. Only safe way to flash (plugged in) is with ODIN. However this can also cause issues. So to each his/her own.
[Captivate Android Development] henge:
Not having success with this, every time I attempt to do anything it just tells me that I can't edit anything since the file system is read-only. Is there anything I need to adjust?
