When I was on 7.3, the twLauncher was different. I swear that I could select what screen number was my home screen. I don't see those options in 8.2. Thougth it was TW4.5(?) on 7.3, 8.2 is TW4. Why the downgrade. I didn't notice anything flakey about it, but maybe there was for others.
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
So....now that I've got 10 posts, THANK YOU for Apex! This is the best ROM evar.

Is anybody working on a bootanimation??
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Haven't experienced this in past Apex versions but seem to recall it mentioned....

Since I installed 8.2 My phone is turning itself off. Can't recall if it is only when in the dock or not.

Is this a kernel issue? what is recommended fix?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
When is it turning itself off? OC/UV?? Need more info
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Sorry. No, I do not OC/UV. I have Cleared Voltage in CWM. As to Lagfix, I haven't had it enabled, but I did enable it today. Otherwise, I am pretty much stock Apex 8.2, re-flashed with the Full 8.2 vs upgrade. Let me know if there is any other info I can provide.

(on a side note, funny that with lagfix is gets as good a score in Quadrant as a Sensation with 1.2 dual. I don't care much about quadrant other than to compared on rom on my phone to another.)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Yeah quadrant is useless at comparing phones. When exactly does your phone reboot? Is it completely random? I know while running talon very occasionally my phone will reboot during calls or once I hit the end call button. I also get the same wifi reboots that many people are experiencing.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
was on apex 5.3 for a long long time...

infect that was my first rom other than stock...

didnt try any other rom ...and now with help and support and persuasion of froli(as i was scared abt making my phone a soft brick)..last night i installed 8.2...means now i m using gingerbread rom..

after installin i got backup thru tibu...didnt find this rom as smooth as 5.3..but obviously this has much more to offer...so i m still playin...

after install and uninstall of some apks and contatcs and sms backup...again i cleaned it with cwm's factory restet...

and now i m gonna run it without wifi..without mobile network..will see..how is the batt backup..coz thats and imp issue...

saw ppl complaining abt the batt issue...i didnt see as..it doesnt hav the percentage showing..so i installed some other software to see that...and now i hav put it in charge...

i hav tried internet callin as well..works well...

one problem i noticed...which i m still not sure...i think its having some wireless range issue...as i hav wifi router installed in my room..and i always had full bar showing on notification area..but now its showing always one bar less....

didnt understand this part....in the installing instruction..that what exactlly to do after gettin there..

Must do after flash else you may get reboot on miui lockscreen

go to settings --> device customization --> lockscreen --> custom app --> select a custom app

will update more...as i play with it,,
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
What that part of the instructions is saying is if you are using the miui lockscreen you MUST go into the lockscreen options and set a custom app for the custom app tab, otherwise if you try to unlock with it, you'll get a reboot. If you dont use the miui lockscreen then it doesnt matter.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Just wondering if your issues were resolved with a different kernel- I ask because I also came from S7 but I am having zero issues and I am using Talon 4.1, curious to see your result with another kernel
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
well obviously i understood that..but which custom app to select..coz i get list of apps after i click that option....
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Lol .. whatever you want. I use messaging but you can use anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
I've seen but not personally experienced the reboots from a call. This appears totally random. It's happened 2 or 3 times since yesterday when I did a clean 8.2. Not having any other problems that I am aware of. and if the frequency doesn't increase, this is not earth shattering to me.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
oh ok..thanx...i thought its something to do with some miui apps..and was lookin for it there...

anyways i m not using miui lockscreen...
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
This is not a given. Every single app that I had backed up and then restored after upgrading to 2.3 that then gave me FCs was able to be fixed by reinstalling from market then just restoring the data from Titanium Backup. This includes Angry Birds, which I have running just fine on Apex 8.2 with all my Apex 5.3 data.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I was just wondering if it was at all possible for apex roms (or any other 2.3 roms) to have the miui lockscreen where it gives 5 or so options/apps from a circle in the centre that you can go to from there.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
Ummmm all my volume are max but I can't hear anything when I'm playing music. Well everything is like almost silent right now. wth. I can't even hear my ringtone. I already reboot and that didn't help either
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Hey guys i need help. Pretty sure its NOT rom related but since this morning i can receive texts but cant send them. reboot does not help. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
check ur message settings for message centre number..keep it matched with ur network provider's message centre number

or the reply path..keep the reply path unchecked..

see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Yes it will be included ;)
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Its as you say...13123149810...reply path unchecked....everything i try to send just says sending....from 9am this morning till now.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
is there + before the centre number..coz its required..

and delete the messages which u were trying to send and which is still showing...pending..or sending..or not sent messages...and then try to send again...

Running apex 8.2 with current talon and launcher 7. When I initially flash apex from a fresh start I get no lag at all and about 2-3 days in I always get alot of lag and long load times opening programs anyone else going through this?

Did you restore system apps or data using tibu?

What is launcher 7 ?
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
No I only back up market apps. Launcher 7 is a windows phone launcher clone
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I've found one of my friends cap lagged after a few days. It seemed to be kernel related but I can't be certain. He went back to rfs and it was smooth. Back to ext4 and a few days later is lagged again. He went with a dif kernel than talon and didn't get lag on day 3. I ran mine on ext4 for days and never saw this slowdown and I stick to talon. That's why I can't be certain where it comes from. Seems to be different for all phones
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
Ya, im stumped. Ive checked to see if any apps or processes are hogging cpu cycles and nothing to speak of. Im thinking I may be having memory issues. Oh well, done hijacking. Ill take it over to existzs thread. Still loving Apex!!

Sent from my couch on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
I've been using Apex 7.3, then 8.1 and now 8.2. Coming from Serendipity 6.4 I'm sad to say that the phone seems to lag while performing certain actions in a way it didn't use to. It lags when the phone rings (the movement of the slider isn't smooth) and when opening an app for the first time (won't lag if I exit using home button and reopen).

I kinda wished I hadn't flashed it, and that's not a good thing... anyone else experiencing similar issues?

EDIT:

Issue resolved by rebooting to allow ext4 changes.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Try a different kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
Any suggestions? If there's a kernel that will make the rom work better, why not use it in the first place?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Just had my phone randomly reboot with 35% battery. When it turned back on it was down to 3% and now its going back up steadily, now at 13%, wtf?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Hi there, i cant make everyone happy. Talon works fine for me with ext4 enabled. I dont see any harm in trying different kernel, or going back to rfs

I posted a few days back that I was going to try xcal's but I do not see one for JVQ.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The JVP one works with JVQ roms. I suggest dark core
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I think what people are failing to see is that different phones react differently. I had 2 caps. 1 would run great on this rom but the other hated ginger. 1 would oc to 1.4 and the other struggled at 1.2.

In the Athlon XP days you had to go by chip code for oc results. Better rev boards gave better results. Does anyone really think we all have the same CPU from the same wafer and the same rev board with the same build components? This is elementary people.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Precisely and instead of questionning that why wasnt it included in first place, try other options and based on feedback from majority i can make an update
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I switched to Talon 1300 (#0.4.1 talon-1300 NOT BIG MEM) and running OC/UV and it is much an approvement for me. Below are my voltage settings:

Oh this looks nice! I didn't like the "cheaper" look of the last one. Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] monoespacial:
First off thanks for the rom.

Second, I feel like an asshat (Nonprophets anyone?). I hadn't rebooted ever after going from 8.1 to 8.2 to allow the ext4 changes to be made. Your post actually made me remember. The phone is now much, much, much faster.

I was wrong! Thanks for making me realize!
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
On my second day of this ROM and it's been great so far. However, I was curious if anyone else is having freezing issues when trying to "Clear Memory" in the task manager while using TouchWiz? I had the same issue in the last TouchWiz 4 ROM I was running (GR series).
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Yea it looks cool.
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
I went into Cwm and voodoo wasn't enabled but that fixed the lag problem lol.

4.0 to 4.3

Can I download the 4.3 update or do I have to wipe? I don't see the 4.0 to 4.1 anymore. I was gonna do it yesterday but I fell asleep.

4.0 to 4.1 is a part of this upgrade package as well, you should be fine

I went from 4.0 to 4.3. On 4.0 I was getting download speeds avg KB/s 393.0 - 454.0 the best I have had with any rom. Stock kernel and modem. My speed went in half with 4.3. I tested multiple times. This is am observation not a complaint. This is my all time favorite rom.

try JPG or JL2 modem and see how it works for for you, speeds for me are same since 3.3

Do you like the puzzle lock screen? If not download the HC lockscreen mod from the website and it willl replace it. It will also make the numbers on the Epic lock look like that. Also, if you have a battery mod, that will be gone too. I'd have to make a package with it and the honeycomb numbers together. Just let me know.

Will check that out. Had the hc launcher but never checked out the epic.

So the new market is pretty badass.. looks really nice, and I love the fact you can share apps with people kinda thing.. Funniest thing is it has an option to share it with G+. Love that

Btw.. downloaded/installed the Darkys kernel you suggested Wasta and while it looks/works fine, I am having the problem where I can not mount my sdcards with it.. Reads them, plug in the cable, it says mount usb, but it does nothing..

So unless someone knows a fix, I can't use that one

hmm i am using it since last 3 days and never had a problem. Try rebooting once, or try mounting/unmounting from CWM and then see if it helps

Delete current vending.apk, then install new file by tapping it in Root Explorer or manually push to /system/app folder?

i just put the .apk file in my drop box and installed it from there!!!

what you are saying seems to be a awful hard way of doing it :confused::confused:

I guess you just tapped the filename and	installed then, like I just did, which puts it in the /data/app folder. Lol.

The new market seems pretty cool, very windows phone-ish. The only thing I found a little annoying was in previous versions of the market if you had background data off and opened the market; it would notify you that background data needs to be enabled and automatically take you to the sync screen in order to turn it on. In this version of the market it simply tells you it needs data on and that's it. The app will then close out after that. You then have to through the setting to enable it before opening it on order to use it. Other than that, it's pretty cool looking.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Do u have a CWM flashable zip?
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
dear watsaa...i know that..but i m sayin..that when i flashed fresh 8.2..it booted fine and came with some pre installed apps..which i mentioned...but those app came with ur rom..i didnt install those apps...

and when i did factory restet...that deleted those 7 apps..and when i flashed again ur 8.2 ..again i got those 7 apps...and again when i did factory reset...again i lost them...

so now i m without them...now i hav 2 option..i can again flash 8.2,,,,and get those back..or i can live with what i hav now...

so i m askin..do i actually need those 7 apps..which came with ur rom...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
They are not absolutely needed for ROM to work, but were good to have. It depends on you if you want SGSII fonts, TiBU, Voodoo, MIUI music etc or not
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well, that makes sense if you're overclocking... which means you're running your device beyond it's rated specifications and limits, so anything goes. But the thing is, a lot of these peculiar problems are happening to those of us who are not overclocking.

I run at stock 1GB and I experience the charge bug, the gradual decrease of memory over the course of hours, resulting in horrible lag, etc. I usually have to reboot my Captivate at least twice a day now in order to keep it functional. Sometimes it's something random like network connectivity flaking out.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
ok..so now i understood..that they aren't the part of the rom...

they are just like normal apps which i can download from market ..whenevr i want to...so lets keep it simple and easy...

and i tried to use voodoo..it didnt help to increase any volume...

and can i hav the stock camera in this rom..or o i shd say the froyo or exlair camera..they were damn good compare to the cam of 5.3 or now this 8.2
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Agreed, I really like this ROM and I really want to enjoy it even more. TouchWiz 4.0 has a fresh new feel to it, however I am experiencing some of the same problems you just stated. The charging bug is there for most 2.3.3 ROM's so it really doesn't bother me. Although I'm now noticing the lag/memory increases as the phone runs throughout the day. This is only my second day using this ROM, but if I have this phone on longer than 8 hours without a reboot there is substantial lag. Also the RAM seems to stay at a constant 295-305/340. When I try to "Clear Memory" I'd say about 30% of the time my phone freezes and will reboot. After the reboot, the phone is back to being smooth and snappy.

I'm running stock everything with no themes, just the stock battery mod % and switched over to the JL2 modem. I know watsa is a great Dev, and I hope these issues can get addressed to some extent in future updates.
