I actually uploaded a revert for mattedblues on the website.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you can get in recovery mode then mount from recovery, place any zip u want to flash, and flash it
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Sorry no I can't, I meant download mode. When I try to get into recovery it just stays in the Talon logo.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Ok then dont flash bootloaders. Just flash Talon kernel. If you are stuck then power off ur device, get it in download mode and reconnect to PC
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Sorry to insist, but this rom is litterally my favorite and I really would like to kno if there is a way to make the in call volume louder?
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Stays stuck either on Setup Connection or Inizialization.... After I unplug it says there is no PIT file, so I must assume that I need a Captivate oriented Odin, which I have back home, but can't find right now... Do you know what version it is? I can only remember it said i897 on the title....plus another device:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try a different(trusted) I9000 modem

See your volume settings in voodoo control app

See if you have set the volume level to maximum if you are using BT or wired headphone with volume control
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
how are u flashing kernel? what version of ODIN? If possible use the one in apex installer
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Volume set to max, but I didn't try Voodoo Control. Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
There is a newer version

to update the post, I found a newer theme for Apex 8.1 Crysis_SensatioN_1.8.1_for_JVQ
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Putting the .tar file in the PDA section, will try the odin you say right now! :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Ultra bummer, I tried to install PaulDiddy theme again, which was working on 7.3 and is a JVP/JVQ comparable theme. Never in all my flash life has this happened. Get as far as the Talon splash then re boot.... Bummer!
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Nop, stuck on initialzation :(
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its a JVP only theme
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
hmm hate to say this, time to go back to stock GB
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
These instructions are somewhat opaque, so let me make sure I'm getting this right (been out of the ROM loop for a bit now) (what happened to just flashing via CWM?)

I'm starting from a fresh captivate (2.2/baseband:I897UCKB2/Kernel:2.6.32.9)

1) Root phone via 1-click, install CWM

2) Extract Apex 8.1 package onto SDcard

3) Use odin to install "bootloader" (this is where things get iffy for me)

4) Use odin to install talon kernel

5) Use CWM recovery to install Apex

Btw, doesn't look like the old 3-button combo works for my phone right now. Any workarounds?
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
no bootloader flashing (what I wanted not to do :)) but how am I to do that? to come back I'll only have to flash the rom again?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Bootloaders have changed in GB update. Thats why u need to flash bootloaders.

1) Root phone via 1-click, install CWM - This is not needed

2) Extract Apex 8.1 package onto SDcard - Just place ROM.zip on SD card, dont extract it

3) Use odin to install "bootloader" (this is where things get iffy for me) - Now you know why, this is the most dangerous process while upgrading to GB and can even brick your phone if instructions are not followed. This changes your button combo to get into download & recovery modes. Never flash old 3-button fix if you GB bootloaders

4) Use odin to install talon kernel - This is to get CWM without rooting

5) Use CWM recovery to install Apex - Correct and you will see orange CWM after flashing Talon
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is a odin one click GB without bootloaders by mrharley, which takes you back to stock GB
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
Thanks appreciate the reply, will commence with the flashing now. I'm gone for so long and now all this new stuff is somewhat overwhelming.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It says [THEME] PaulDiddy Remix GB 1.6 [* also compatible to JVQ - JVP as well *] right on the OP opening page!

OK so what's the best way out Odin? I can't get into CWM
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yes ODIN if not CWM. try flashing kernel and then rom. No need to flash BLs again
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Odin3, and is talon 4.1 ok?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep 4.1 should be fine

Ur gonna be in heaven after ur set up and running Apex.

I have lost my mms sent time fix somewhere along the way. I went 8.1, matted blues theme, blue apex theme (which is great by the way). Did this fix make the transition from the 7.x to 8.1?

[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Same. Pages load but then switches to a white screen only where you can't view anything.

I'm also having trouble with the AT&T U-VERSE app fc'ing on me all the time but that could well be the fault of the app.

This is on Apex 8.1

I plugged it in for brief seconds so it went to 2% batt

Kill battery full

It would be great if you could kill the battery full notification. After having it go off at 2:00 am twice, wife gave the ultimatum, flash a different rom or sleep in the other room. I know, I know, but for now I thought it best to go with a rom without the notification. Also on one of the times I accidentally turned off the phone to stop the alarm and woke up with a dead battery and unhappy wife...
[Captivate Android Development] vinamilk:
Flashed it today.

GPS is terrible. I fixed it by changing accuracy from 50 to 100 (maybe in m - metric unit) and server changed to China (it depended on where you are living) --> now GPS is awesome !

Battery drain I think need 2-3 rounds of charge to give opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] rg400smarttowel:
could i take a browser.apk from another rom that is not jvq? will that work?
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I'd suggest trying another browser from the market first.

Boat Browser Mini

Dolphin Browser HD

Miren Browser

xScope Browser
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I flashed 8.0 than 8.1 today and had force closing with winamp and task manager.

I uninstalled them and re-installed them and all is well.

So far no other problems, very nice rom.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It can happen sometimes when you restore apps with TiBu.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Yes,that's true. I prefer to restore apps & data with tibu than uninstall any that have a problem and re-install from market.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
im going to china next month, definitely need a working gps. would u please share the name of the server/server port?
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Ok, it says that I will lose root... I want to be rooted, Do I have to root before flashing the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I get bad lag with this ROM after it's run for a few hours.

It happened on 7.x too. I have lagfix enabled, but it just starts to lag bad when opening apps. Reboots fix it temporarily, but then it comes back.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Are you going to be back on apex?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try other kernel from OP and see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
I hope to :P but don't exactly know how or when to root :o believe me I feel a little stupid asking all this but, at least I'm learning hehe
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You'll get root by installing Apex from CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. flash stock GB using the ODIN without bootloaders.

2. Download Apex installer from website and follow steps mentioned in readme file.

You will get root back once u have apex installed, and to install apex u dont need to be rooted
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
alright... nice! will be doing the whole procedure then later once I return to the computer with the drivers in the Cafe lol:D
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
I am getting the same problem.. Which kernel are people using for best performance/battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i have had this problem on all the GB rom's I have used and have not been able to find the cause but it us so freaking annoying
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
I was having the same problem with lagfix disabled (i think... how do i check if it's enabled?). I realized "Digital Clock Widget" from Sony Ericsson Launcher was taking up like 10mb of ram or more, even though I was using TW Launcher! I uninstalled the launchers I wasn't using and that specific widget with TB and now it's working MUCH better.

Hope this helps.

one thing i noticed is that it looks like the majority of my battery usage is coming from Media Server 34% seems high and I do not ever remember seeing that usually it is the display that has the highest %

can someone tell me what to check:confused::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Just flashed 8.0, and all seems to be great, just had a few noob questions.

First off I noticed that my signal bars and the "H"are greyed out, however it seems when I turn on my background data, it turns green, is that normal?

Secondly, I'm using the touchwiz launcher and all the apps aren't organized. I remember when I was running the GR-11 ROM, there was an app list sorter which organized the apps alphabetically. I think I downloaded the correct app last night but it wouldn't organize the apps.

Lastly, can the battery mods from the apex website be applied on 8.0 even though its for 8.1 and higher?

[Captivate Android Development] foit:
I'm a very recent convert, from stock 2.3.3 to 8.1 and I think this rom is brilliant. You ought to be commended on the great work that was put into the rom. ;)

I just have one issue and that is the GPS. I'm getting 9-10 satellites but I keep losing GPS lock while driving. Has anyone else been experiencing this on the default KC1 modem that is supplied with 8.1?
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
They turn green when you are connected with Google Services. That is why when you turn off background data it is no longer connecting and the bars turn grey.

You can sort the apps with this version of Touchwiz. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061883

Yes the battery mods will work with 8.0.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I never had this with KC1, but try JQ1.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Yea that's pretty much the main issue with our GPS on the captivate. Try and give it a clear sight to the sattelites by putting your phone on a mount on your winsheild or something. That's why TomTom's and other gps' are mounted on the winshield.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Download voodoo control app from market and it will let you enable/disable lagfix or tell you if it is on or not.
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
To check if lagfix is disabled or enabled, reboot into recovery. There's a 'voodoo' option you can go into from there it will tell you if lagfix is on or off.
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
How do I flash the HC (or whichever one for that matter) lockscreen onto my phone? I'm guessing it's still the same as a long time ago? Put the file on the SDcard, then reboot into recovery and install via SDcard?

yes just put it on sd card and flash from cwm

Thanks, loving this ROM. Do you guys have a donation link?
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Been running this for the past few hours and so far its awesome, I really like this ROM. Everything is snappy and works well. I also wanted to say thanks for everyone helping me out, however I have yet another noob question. I typically use 3 homescreens, is there anyway to make the "2nd" homescreen the default?

I just noticed the most recent update of setcpu also allows undervolting but I'm getting some battery drain with it. Didn't notice the drain with housing xans voltage control app
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Haven't used setcpu in quite a while. I prefer voltage control. Never noticed any drain at all and never seen it as a runaway service. You can also undervolt and use less power when overclocking with voltage control.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
If your using Talon 0.3.1 or newer, Control Freak .5b is better. It allows setting oc for the gpu, in addition to oc/uv cpu.

Well I am running Talon 0.4.1 now and it seems to be running much smoother.

Really enjoy using this rom. Fused it together with the zuebug blue theme and a few other changes.

If I wanted to change the dialer to blue, could I just replace the dialer.apk from another theme that is blue or would have to go to the framework?

Does this ROM utilize the audience chip?

All awesome. You can't go wrong with this ROM. I command you to flash! lol

No it does not use the audience chip. This ROM is i9000 based so it cannot use the chip. It you really need the chip you would have to go with a captivate ROM. Cognition 5 is your only choice.

Second day with this ROM and so far I am loving it. Battery is good as always (came from Dark Core) I like the smoothness and fluidity of the phone.

Had a couple of FC with the EDT Tweaks when trying to set timeout settings for lockscreen and sometimes it takes forever to get the signal bars green (connected with Google) even though I have used KC1 modem before, will reflash to JK4 see if its same.

I do have a question, I always used to back up my ROM with ROM manager but I tried it and it just rebooted? Any ideas about this.

Havent tried to backup with Nitrality.

Awesome job to the developer.
