I had to try every single download until finally the last one worked. It might be my internet connection, I don't know, I'm just getting REALLY frustrated because this isn't supposed to be happening.

I realize I can remove the app, but that doesn't fix my issue at all. This same email app has been present in SEVERAL versions of Apex and I've not changed any of my email settings. So why is it choosing now to start draining my battery? I liked the email app. Now it's next to useless for me.

I've reflashed using the new download I got today, twice again. I've removed and readded the email.apk. NOTHING. My battery is still crap, and the email app is sucking up more than 60% of the battery. I'm getting really frustrated.
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
UHG! Now my soft buttons have started acting up! I am getting increasingly frustrated and am about to jump ship somewhere else. Apex's only saving grace at this point is that previous versions have been top notch. Apex 9 has been nothing but problems for me!

one feedback for watsa and existz...

i tried the new talon...1000..and charge bug was still there..

and yesterday i tried 1200 and then i put my phone on charge....and left it for 12 hours..(yeah i slept for contineous 12 hours..i so much needed it for a long time)

and when i unplugged..then i was still at 99%

though the lag is there...and lag increases with the usetime...

will test it again today...

and then again will flash DC and test it again..and will update the feedback...

Edit 1: its in charge again...this time i m observing the charging progress...(last time i was asleep)....so it reached 97% and the battery notification showed that battery is full pls unplug..i didnt unplug....and i saw that my batt was still charging..and it went to 99% slowly..didnt increase from there...its still plugged in and discharging slowly..it has reached 95%..will update again..

EDIT 2: 77% and falling...i wanna see when it starts charging again..i m not unplugging it...

EDIT 3 : 61% and falling..so 16 % fall in 1 hour 10 min in idle condition...means it falls more faster when the charge bug is there..

and final conclusion...charge bug is still there..and it doesnt start chargin after a certain drop....

now i m gonna unplug n replug...coz i wanna use my phone..lol

post eneded

Killer, is the lag still there when you use the oram mod?? That's what I'm trying now. But I have dc 3.0 & 3.1 on cue just in case.

[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
never tried oram..i m looking at the thread of oram....lets see...didnt think of applyin that....

EDIT :- i just applied settings...coz i read the whole thread..and watsa also applied and he he is happy..and noone said bad...

so no harm in tryin...

so just manually edited using editor in phone thru root explorer..

cant say anythin now..as i had to reboot after taht..as per teh instruction....and after reboot cappy as it works fine..no matter what kernal i m using...

so will update this later.may be after 12/24 hours of use....that is if i dont hav to reboot before for my other flashing or modding purpose..which i keep doin.... :p

I continue to have freeze/phone reboot issues, despite all efforts to do everything I possibly can to fix this. Some of what I've done is reflash 9.1 multiple times, reflash GB bootloaders, flash Talon, and switch launcher to Ericsson Launcher. I have no clue what else to do. I'm not sure if it's a lost cause, but no one else seems to be having the recurring issue I have, and I love the ROM otherwise.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Once bootloaders are installed. don't keep trying to install them. Which lock screen do you have running? If it's the sgs2 change it and reboot. see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Giver a shot, I constantly have lag with talon, usually right around the 12 hr mark. I'm at around the 9 hr mark now so we'll see. Like I said before, if it's good enough for watsa, froli, and existz, I'll keep trying.

How exactly did u flash? Avoid tibu restore for email app to see if that solves ur issues
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Ye re-flashing seems to fix problems, my second flash seems to have fixed the spikes of lag i was talking about before. Everythings running smoothly.
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
No, I have the Puzzle Unlock. The only reason I installed bootloaders was because I came from Serendipity VII and I wasnt sure if I had the right ones.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Does it happen on darkcore 3.0 as well?
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
Yes, but I was using TW4 while I was on darkcore. Never tried another Launcher until I was having the same issues on Talon.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You have all these issues on fresh flash? Even without a tibu restore?
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
I never restore system apps with TiBU. Causes too many issues. I was always hand entering in my old info. I finally got sick of it and ripped out the SGS II email app and put in the stock app from CM7. Checking now to see if this solves the issue.

Apparently the soft keys are going wonky when the phone is connected to power, no matter the ROM or kernel. Sounds like a hardware short somewhere, great. But it works when off the cord.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
What exactly u do to make it disappear? No need to reflash just add twlauncher30.apk to system/app using root explorer
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Thanks watsa, I tried it and it did work.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Wheres twlauncher30.apk located? In the rom package? And all I did was turn off my phone and turn it back on and it was gone. Maybe it has to do with Launcher Pro being installed
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep in system/app of rom package. Dont think launcherpro has something to do with this
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I too was having freeze/phone reboot/lag issues with every version of Apex since 8.0. When 9.1 came out I decided to change a few things. I'm still running i9000 bootloaders and everything is stock. I changed from the TW4 to Arc launcher and I also did not restore ANYTHING except for my text messages from TiBu. I did a fresh clean install of all my apps and Apex has been nothing but awesomeness for me. No freezes/reboots, it's been great honestly. These are the steps I took which finally made Apex run the way it's supposed to. Hopefully it'll work for you as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Ok it worked. And, thanks for actually spending the time to aid people with issues, it's so kind haha

Has anyone found any posting about the difference between DC 3.1 and 3.0 other than swap support which isn't being used yet? It sounds like it is 3.0 with support for something yet to come and there are no other improvements.
[Captivate Android Development] dan_maran:
Today I took the Apex plunge again and went from KF1 to Apex. I did get the missing application icon after reboot but as I only installed one program I immediately rebooted again clearing the davlic cache flashed DarkCore 3.1 and then reinstalled the application. This seemed to fix the issue as I was able to install follow on apps with no issues so far. I will keep an eye out and see if the issue reappears. As of right now the setup is Apex 9.1 with KG3 modem and DarkCore 3.1

What seen brightness are you using? I don't use auto-brightness because it supposedly drains battery more than it is worth. If you want it darker than darkcore allows then there is a screen filter app.

I use auto

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
Well I really don't know. I always immediately restore my apps (not system apps or data) using tibu because in order to use my phone the way I want to, I need those apps. Nor do I have the time or patience to go through every app individually and reinstall it, hence the convenience of tibu. I NEVER had a problem restoring apps with tibu.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
I always use minimum brightness. Never was a fan of auto. Idk why to be honest. And im not on darkcore, talon is the way forward :p

sent from my beloved cappy!!
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Talon is NOT the way forward for me, just gave it ANOTHER chance, this time with the oram fix, it may have helped a little by delaying the lag by 10 hrs or so, but unbearable once again. Back to dc 3.1.....AGAIN!!!

GPS Fix options?

Bump... - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16846769&postcount=8405

Has anyone tried this and did it help/hurt? I don't see as many posts "these days" about GPS improvements - possibly many have given up because there is a definite hardware (antennae) component. However, if there are other ROMs, etc that had great GPS for people then maybe this zip "template" could be used with GPS files from other builds. That way people could have a variety of "GPS fixes" that they could try with Apex to see which works best for them. ROMs have become more "modular" - take the kernel from this one, certain system apps from that one, overall UI and performance from another, etc. It would be nice if GPS config was another one of those components that we could incorporate in our favorite ROM. I don't mind creating the zips if people specify certain ROMs that it worked well for. The "revert" file for Apex 9.1 should work for others as well.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Did the same thing yesterday. My experience re DC vs Talon kernels: Talon lags something fierce after several hours (haven't tried the ORAM fix though). DC occasionally freezes, requiring a battery pull (I'm impatient), but no real lag to speak of. Went to DC3.1 to see if anything in the sparse changelog helped my freeze issue
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Ditto. I've tried a few times to drop in the supposed standard files into the supposed standard place. I must be doing something wrong, because I could never get it to work (although admittedly, I gave up and haven't tried again recently).

This has to be flashed via Odin and can't be flashed via CWM, correct?

Also, should I return to Talon: Where's the best place to request features in the Voodoo Control app? I tried in what I thought was the proper thread but got no response. I'd love to see pure RGB color patches as opposed to just grayscale, as I have color filters I can use for proper calibration (from my home theater) and would love to make use of them. :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
when do u get these freezes?
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Seems fairly random. Honestly haven't pinned down a general length of time after reboot or any specific app, but I'll try to notice more next time. Used to happen all the time using the browser, but not on 9.1 anymore! :D

I'll report back if/when it happens with some more details though
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yea there was a potential bug in 9.0 that was fixed in 9.1
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Correct on the no CWM, but you can use SGS Kernel Flasher (on the market) to flash .tar files if you want to avoid Odin. Handy little app & I've had no problems with it through several flashes (of both CWM .zip and .tar files)
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Got beaten to it edtonn , but can be flashed using sgs kernal flasher(free from the market) works great!! no risk of bricking your phone

Talon 0.4.4.21 vs DarkCore 3.1

i have been using talong 4.4.21 and for me and my capy..not a good option.. it gets laggy a lot.. besides Darcore 3.1, seams more stable, faster than talon

this is my experience,.. and my capy seams more stable with DC.

still need to fix the battery drain .
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I think that I have figured out the problem with TW4 freezing while clearing memory from task manager app. There is a "fix" in 9.2 for it, may be you should give a try after that

Haha know the feeling (in all cases). Hence, I'll be waiting on sticking with DC for a while I guess

Why do you suggest JK4? Why does the ROM come with KC1?

[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:

Watsa probably gets great results from KC1 in his area, so I'm assuming that's why the ROM includes it. Correct me if I'm wrong?

If you go through last 5-6 pages of Talon, Its a known issue. Existz and other co-devs are trying to fix it

Wallpaper

After all the battery issues, lag issues, reboot issues and such this is going to sound a bit trivial, but, How do you change the wallpaper on the lockscreen? In settings if you want to change wallpaper on homescreen, it takes you right to the wallpapers (however many different ones you have), but to change it for the lockscreen, it takes you to your gallery or root explorer or polaris office?? Any way to change this to open up to the wallpapers, like the homescreen does or am I just not doing something right? (always a possibility :o)

[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Haven't tried either JL2 or KG3. Feel free to experiment on your own & report back results. Or check that sticky thread watsa mentioned for thoughts on just about all modems. You can technically choose either 1900 or 850, but most effective is usually setting it to automatically choose either. Go to Dialer > *#0011# to check current band. Then Dialer > *#2263# > Combi Bands > make sure both WCDMA 850 & 1900 are starred > menu > back > Automatic.

Some modems require a "dance" of sorts to activate 850, but JK4 isn't one of them

KC1 works great for me in Southern California

I was using JV5

2000+ kbs data speeds with KC1

It also worked great when I was in Salt Lake City last week

I was streaming a netflix movie to my laptop using tethering cuz the hotel I was in did not have free wifi - worked great

I tethered at Salt Lake City Airport to my iPad and it was faster the the airports free wi-fi

All that is to say is Watsa is in Canada and I'm in California

As has been said you need to try different modems.

It's all part of the fun of exploration with a custom rom and Watsa's is one of the best

I keep a folder with different modems on my sd card so I can flash modems on the fly to check performance
