How can you Odin flash without using a USB cable, and having it plugged in? If it is plugged in, it would be charging even when flashing, no?

I do like Odin but as you say- to each his own ;)

EDIT: I see you are saying 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 flasher or CWM.

Clarified the other post. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea give it R/W access. There would be a small button on top
[Captivate Android Development] henge:
Well that was simple enough. Thank you for all the help!

Hi all, i had captivate i896 rogers for awhile and now think its finally the time to root it. I did some research but am completely clueless to what rom or root app is the best out there.

If you guys can recommend some root apps/roms i can use and mainly how to root my phone because i have never done it before. Step by step instructions would be really useful..

i currently have 2.2 froyo

thanks in advance

And... It happened again in 8.3

Flashed it a few days ago, stock theme. Using MIUI lock. Custom app and music control toggles are greyed out in TSM customize. On 8.2 this seems to have eventually "randomly" enabled itself but not doing it now.

Any one happen to have a suggestion? :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thats a bug i introduced in 8.3 :( trying to fix it. btw custom app is set to mms by default. To make sure that u dont get reboots using MIUI just select MIUI lockscreen option from device customization --> lockscreen customize --> lockscreen once.
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Been using 8.3 for a while now and started noticing a small bug. I'm using the SGS 2 unlock screen and when I unlock the phone, the screen is unresponsive for about 2-3 seconds. It doesn't happen all the time, but happens on occasion. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm running on stock Apex 8.3.
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
This used to happen to me on all JVQ based roms. the remedy is dumb but it works. Go into settings and hit home rather than back. It will never do it again.

I have Captivate I896 rogers, i flashed the rom Apex8.3 and after installation my phone won't load past the kernal screen :S

Please help.. i get some weird noise coming out of my phone "partition" "2minutes remaining" etc..

I tried everything but it won't get past the default kernal screeen
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
I had noticed that behaviour and then asked the question on one of these threads and someone confirmed it!

I know it's quite crazy!
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Crazy idea...wait 2 minutes. That's normal as it's lagfix being applied..
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
i did :S i kept the phone on and weird screen kept coming up (looked like bunch of lines and white dots). It kept restarting after that and wouldn't get past it.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You had to let it boot. Could take more than 10 minutes for the first time. Re-do all the installation steps.
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
My phone keeps randomly restarting since i installed 8.3
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
bunch of lines and white dots? did u flash bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
were there seperate files for it? :S wasn't sure of bootloaders.fml
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yea there is bootloader file in apex flasher package. Flash everything as per instruction from readme file in it. be careful while flashing bootloaders, and once you have the new bootloaders never try and apply 3 button fix on it
[Captivate Android Development] d_gritza:
Clear the Dalvik cache.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
More details would be needed if you want us to help you solve your problem.

Did you follow all the steps of the installation instructions? Did you apply any mod, modded apps, theme..? Flashed a different kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Install scripts wipes everything already.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
Hi guys,

I'm about to re-flash, because I'm having some weird issues.

I posted earlier about google maps keeping my phone awake. Turns out the only way to solve this was to uninstall it completely. I even tried a earlier version, 5.7. Same battery drain, even when signed out of latitude.

After I uninstalled it, I found another app causing battery drain (though less so): the "tasks" app. I had never even opened this.

Another weird issue I'm running into is the phone.apk force closes after I hang up from a call. I temporarily solved this by rebooting, but after a few hours of being on, it will start doing this again.

I'm thinking it may have had something to do with flashing too many things? After I had the rom flashed, I flashed the mattedblues theme, then the talondev 0.4.3 kernel, then the xxjvr modem.

Can I successfully combine all these packages into the original rom package so I can reduce it to one flash?? I use to do this but on a smaller scale (adding newer kernels to a rom zip).
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
modem(modem.bin) and kernel(ZImage) files should go into updates folder of rom package.

All files from MB theme should go into corresponding folders in rom package. e.g. framework-res.apk from MB' system/framework folder should go into system/framework folder of rom package and so on.

Edit: Make sure that you are not storing any system data from TiBU
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
Thank you good sir! I am about to merge the files right now.

Also, I'd like to let you and froli know, the combination of your rom and his MB theme is literally heaven. This rom has allowed me to finally get ~36 hours of battery again, and it looks fantastic!
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
@watsa

Any chance you can resubmit that kernel poll from a while back? I'm curious as to the difference now vs back then.

Thanks for a kick ass ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
o man thought i had lost the phone but fortunately was able to find the 2.2 stock rom and re-flash it so back to the basics now... i tried reading up on bootloader like you suggested but i am even more clueless now.. i'm scared to even flash any other rom now because i don't have a clue as to how this all works.

if you can please post step bu step instructions when you get a chance it'd be much appreciated as i am not able to understand all the steps.

thank you once again if anyone can.. appreciate the help

i really want apex8.3 on this phone :(

on the contrary there is a way to launch mms app when that icon is clicked

Didn't see an answer for this, but when I found Tasks running away with my battery, etc I froze it with TiBu and haven't had any more issues with it

[Captivate Android Development] ngochuy:
cant wait for apex 9.0. When will u release it bro? I'm really impressive and interested in surfing web by JVR stock browser, as smooth as the PC. Although I zoom i/out and slide the web continuously, the flash video is still playing very smooth in the website
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
9.0 is deodexed and so browser wont work as it does on the odexed JVR :(
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Is stock JF6 really necessary or will Rogers stock JI2 work just as well?

Edit: Never mind, search is working again and I was able to find my answer.
[Captivate Android Development] ngochuy:
:(, I think the only thing that makes JVR be better than JVQ is the stock browser.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
What was the answer? I'm feeling lazy :3
[Captivate Android Development] Thunder22:
Dude watsa you're roms are TOO legit. How do I donate to the cause?!?
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:

[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
It was more of a recommendation than a requirement and any 2.1 stock will suffice.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
Welp, I need a new phone now.

Decided it's been too long since I performed a master clear, did that, then used the 3-button fix to flash to stock JF6. Now my phone doesn't even power on.

Where the hell did this go so wrong??
[Captivate Android Development] toy028:
Its posted all over the place. You cant use 3 button fix when your using GB bootloaders. Now you have half GB and half Froyo bootloaders. You need Jtag service to get it running again. There is a guy that does it for 50 bucks I believe, search for jtag threads.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thats sad :( I have posted this many times and doing it again for anybody who still does not know "NEVER APPLY 3 BUTTON FIX ON TOP OF GB BOOTLOADERS" else you will have a perm brick.

Reason: 3 button fix applies only secondary bootloader and you will end up having a mismatch with primary GB bootloader and secondary eclair/froyo bootloader

[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
hey watsa, after running 8.3 on two cappy's since July 30th & I've started noticing "glitches" occurring now. One cappy is starting to randomly reboot itself and just freeze when SMS or e-mail is received you try to read them. My cappy (the 2nd one) did the random reboot last night. SMS seems to randomly close (not FC). I'll be reading an SMS then it just jumps to home screen. Any ideas what could be happening? There's absolutely nothing new on the phone since day 1.
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
Yea I've been having issues with the messaging app. basically, it hands if I hit the back key.

Otherwise, 8.3 + matted blue = amazing!!

Edit: Just installed go sms pro (its free) and haven't looked back!!
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I'm getting a boot loop at the Galaxy S animation. Reflashing Talon and Apex haven't helped, neither has clearing the caches or formatting prior to flashing Talon or Apex again. The instructions in the "Read Me" were followed precisely. The Gingerbread bootloaders were installed, since I'm able to boot into recovery (Talon's before flashing Apex, Darky's after) and download modes using vol+ & pwr and vol- & pwr. I've let a couple of my boot attempts sit for 10-30 minutes, so it isn't me interfering with the first boot/install. Any help would be appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Any chance you could flash again? I mean go into recovery and flash apex from DC CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
seems to work for me. Any chance you restored system data for mms?
[Captivate Android Development] astrocrep:
I use sms back up/restore to restore it. Honestly not worried about it, go sms is awesome and it fits right in with matted blue!!

Thanks for this amazing rom, by far the best I've used!
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I had this problem with 8.3 also, not sure why, did factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, still wanted to loop at the galaxy s screen and i897/i9000 screen. I never had the problem with jvr tho. For me it may be time for a wipe back to stock gb, it's been quite a while. But I'm rockin jvr since 8.3 came out and lovin it. That loop is a frustrating fawker tho, I hear ya bro. Hope it works out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I just tried again with no luck.

While trying random things, I attempted a "wipe data/factory reset" and got the following:

-- Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /datadata...

Error mounting /datadata!

Skipping format...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Error mounting /sd-ext!

Skipping format...

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

Data wipe complete.

Could the errors indicate (a part of) the problem?

I flashed Mosaic VI and got stuck in a boot loop on their boot ani as well. Lagfix disabled, wiped data/factory reset, caches wiped. Will I need to flash back to stock 2.1 again (using my own, not one click) before trying the new instructions with AT&T bootloaders?

lock screen button

on apex 8.3 maybe others , when i hit my power button once to lock screen it locks it and just goes to a black black screen

when my nephews phone also apex 3 hits hit power button once , it has a slight animation of a beam of light across the screen , is there an option to enable this light beam ?

not sure y he has it and i dont as i loaded both phones the same way :)

Should be good. Not sure how partitions got messed up

1. Enable 'all animations' from settings --> display --> Animation

2. Make sure that you have not set animation speeds to fast or very fast from settings --> Device Customization --> Other

i went to check enable all animations and it was on but once i hit it on again , i have it working now thanks

but as well i do have it set to use fast animations whick i really like how fast windows open but then i dont see the lock animation , guessing tis there jsut so fast you dont see it .

hehe think i will stick with fast animations :)

thanks all

was wondering if i need to flash it back to a certain version of stock rom or can i go ahead with the bootloader again? because i don't know it'll work after failing the first time :S
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Humm. I just used it and it worked fine. Since I am on DC 3, it reboots in CWM. Not sure if it does this on all kernels. I clicked on reboot system and all is good. Maybe you have a bad USB cable??

Not many to care about honestly: As for whats new in 9.0:

1. JVR base

2. TW4 with 5 icon dock add-on (Found under Apex folder on sd card)

3. Fixed AOSP launcher. Clicking on messaging icon actually takes you to mms

4. Fixed battery charging icons. Bye bye UOT icons

5. Fixed phone.apk theme, no more orange highlights

6. Some other minor tweaks

7. Zipaligned and optmized all apps.

8. DC3 kernel

u hav already given alot to my cappy..i m already happy..
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
USB cable seemed to work fine when i installed apex 8.3 before (without going through bootloaders and etc.. b/c i wasn't aware of it).. now i'm trying to follow the steps so use bootloader using odin first.. etc..

Also, i installed Rommanager pro and did "flash clockworkmod recovery" but everytime i enter recovery mode it shows me default 3e recovery :S

what am i doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you dont need ROM manager to install apex. First step is to install bootloaders, second is flash kernel to get CWM and third is to flash apex rom that you have already placed on sd card
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
You're saying, just following these steps in the readme, my phone (i896 Captivate rogers) should work without any other problems?

Meaning i don't need to do anything else before ?
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
Also, in recovery mode, when i click "...package" (2nd option) i end up with the "E:" error.. saying could not identify the signature etc.. not sure what causes that problem
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
very much true...

go ahead....and dont worry...

and one thing..after flashing the kernal...give it some time...and by that i mean..when the file of kernel is flashed and phone reboots...wait for sometime..one sexy lady will be whispering somethin..pls let that get over..and when ur phone goes to loop reboot.then flash the apex...

thats where we all make mistake......
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Read the "read me" text file packaged with the rom three or four times before you start. DO EXACTLY AS IY SAYS!
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
woops i didn't wait after i flashed the kernal.. rebooted my phone in recovery and installed apex 8.3.. hopefully it doesn't cause any problems..

now i am stuck at the Galaxy S SGH-I897 SAMSUNG screen and sexy lady i mean robotic lady is whispering stuff lol ... i guess i wait till it completely loads?

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
No problem buddy, whenever you are confused dont hesitate to ask question here.

As for TiBU, first is try and restore only user data.

Do not restore system data or apps. If you do that there are very good chances of various apps force closing.
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
ill make sure of that thanks.. also one last thing.. When i restarted my phone it asked me which options i would like to use to "launch".. i accidently clicked samsung and do not ask again... but i find the other one "launcher" better..

is there a way i can go back to changing this?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
before we go into all that, here is the link for version 9.0 based off latest JVR firmware. Flash this and then restore your backup http://www.multiupload.com/FZOAZSM8C0

how to flash? Just go into CWM using extended power menu and flash from there

ok gotta ask tho..what does it mean by using "using extended power menu"
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
long press power button to see what comes up
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
long pressing it doesn really do anything.. but one tap gives me bunch of options

recovery, reboot, download... i am assuming through recovery mode i should flash it??
