[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I understand my post didn't have much for constructive criticism, or informative feedback; and for that I apologize. I would love to sit here and try to help in anyway by giving as much info/feedback possible with the problems I am encountering; however I am leaving on vacation tomorrow night and will not be back until the first. I'm sure by then build 8.9 will probably be out and issues will have been addressed, lol. As for me I must revert back to a previous ROM that I know will be stable in order to last me through this vacation.

I will probably re-flash this ROM when I return and see if the problems I'm experiencing now are still present in the future builds. If they are, then I can start changing variables such as ext4/rfs, and kernels while being able to give feedback. It was fun while it lasted, and thank you Watsa for being extremely active in supporting the ROM and the fans :).
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
what happens if u dont restore any data at all for a couple of days?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Had the lag here as well.

Default 8.2 running included Sony launcher

Went to DarkCore same included Sony Launcher and lag is gone
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
That did the trick... Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I think we can say the lag issue is kernel related.
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i don't really understand the question

i can tell you this last time i flashed i did not restore apps with data just apps using tibu
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i would agree however like i said it did it the worst when i used cognition with it's kernel

These two pics show what the lagfix i applied to and what I selected in voodoo control to get there.

I've beat the hell outta this new phone today. ext4/rfs/ext4/rfs/efx4/rfs no exaggeration. Talon, DarkCore, Xcal. Trying to make this thing puke. The only thing that has remained constant is my good friend Apex :)

i9000 bootloaders, talon 0.4.1

I had lag with 8.1 with my Colorize Widget Calendar (scrollable), after flashing 8.2 I have experienced absolutely no lag, with rfs of ext4.

You have to select the option to enable on boot whatever you select. Sometimes I find it easier to do it from recovery also under voodoo

Not with voltage control. You might be able to with control freak app tho. I don't have that one installed so I can't say for sure.

just updated to 8.2 and running RFS

we will see how the lag issue goes

No issues that I can tell yet, but i9000

Been flashing kernels and converting file systems a lot today trying to see how this phone will hold up (1106 build). Seems to be doing well so far. Tomorrow comes the CPU testing, but honestly, I normally run at 1GHz anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Same settings as me and I am using the default i9000 bootloaders. I used the AIO Captivate Toolbox to go back to 2.1 stock then following the apex directions with bootloader, etc
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Are you converting system at the same time?

Also, are you trying to go in under preferences?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Go into Shoot me settings and change it to jpg from png.
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
My experienced with lag is about some apps that i installed. I used anouncify and change to enhanced sms and caller id that uses svox tts. And both causes great lag on me. Unistalled the said app and no lag. I guess some apps is causing the lags. Just a noob point of view.

As of now just converted to rfs just for comparison and i guess my phone is liking rfs. Ext4 seems great for me also. For those experiencing some lag maybe some apps is causing it. Been runnning apex for awhile and everything works fine except for the apps that caused lags which i already uninstalled it.

[Captivate Android Development] papashex:
Do you guys remember the old trick of putting a text file or folder called disable-lagfix in the sdcard/voodoo directory. I kept this setup and voodoo conversion never activates.

It might run once to disable on a reboot, then stay rfs.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Guys having lags have flashed 8.2 right? If it's the case, go in recovery, wipe voltage settings then re-flash talon kernel. See if it helps.

I updated the market to 3.0.26 and its working perfect without any problems so I think watsa should include it in the next version and I do realize the movie section won't play on rooted phones but I have no idea if that is 100% true we might get lucky who knows but I don't think many people who root their phone are gonna rent movies off the market lol so anyway include in next update watsa its worth it

Something weird going on. Went to bed with 89% battery and saw 56% this morning. Never, ever experienced that.

I did notice that while I was getting full bar signal, there was a circle with a slash through it sitting next to that icon.

I've been running JL2 modem as I have always been on almost every other set up I've had with no issues. Couldn't be that, could it?

All I did was flash 4.3 and Blackout Theme 1.0 yesterday --- which seemed to be working well throughout the day.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you beat me to it, i was about to say that i lost 8% battery thru the night on 4.3 :) accidently wifi was not on with sleep policy set to never? i would advice upgrading to 4.3 as it would fix a battery drain issue that was in 4.2

EDIT: oops you are on 4.3 my bad
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yeah, I had to edit my sig before posting my issue. :-)

I just checked, and my wifi settings are set to sleep when screen turns off, so it couldn't be that unless it really never turns off.

I didn't run 4.2 long enough to monitor any significant drain issues, so couldn't tell you too much from that POV.

I didn't get this big drop on 4.0 or 4.1.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
the base is same since 4.0, not sure what can cause this... give it another day ot two and see what happens coz i dont get this heavy drain on the same base.. just that modem is JK4 for me

dont what what that circle hovering around signal for you was, see if you get that today too

Crysis batery mod bug

Guys, I got a problem with the CRYSIS BATTERY MOD; when my phone is connected to the charger and it fully charges It displays 100 percent of battery. However, the second I unplug the charger it inmediately drops to 89 percent and battery starts decreasing from that percentage. Anybody else with the same problem? Solutions?
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
charge it to 100% unplug

immediately

charge it again to 100%

do this a couple times till it reads correct when unplugging then wipe battery stats in cwm recovery

that worked for me
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
you might want to try calibrating your battery, might help sometimes if you flash something without a full charge this happens( has happened to me only once before)

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I KNOW it is not recommended but you can flash the .tar file with SGS kernel flasher. I ONLY had it not work correctly once out of about 100 or so flashes. Everyone always says Odin is safest bet for flashing the kernel though. If you need to flash it twice. The one time I flashed that didn't work I just had some strange things happening but it still booted up fine and I reflashed again and all was good.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you are putting it in wipe version, add it to updates folder. If you are using non wipe then just add it to zip itself.

In either case you would see another ZImage already present so system should prompt you to replace the existing file

Battery Usage

I know we have a draw on what kernel works better with Apex, Darkcore or Talon. I have been running Darkcore now for about 3 days and on the whole, find it to be not much different than Talon (a little smoother - might be in my head). The major difference that I did notice was a huge gain in battery life. Anyone else for observations?

Anyone else have better battery life on Darkcore?

i switched to it yesterday for lag reasons on talon and so far darcore has been great and the battery life is outstanding,.
