So U have GB bootloaders? and U have not restored any apps using TiBU? Do u get reboot on miui lockscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Does it happens before tibu restore?? If you don't give full answers, we can't give full help.
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
yes i did install some using TiBu

i think so.. it reboots on all screens actually
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
sorry it happens after but i wouldnt know if its before because i install them immediately
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Are you restoring any system data with Tibu or just apps?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
ok so may I know what did u install using TiBU? System apps? Restoring system apps is not a good idea and may cause extreme instabilities. Thats why I told before try without restoring and see if u still get reboots

If u r getting reboot on miui lockscreen thats not random and there is a small step that needs to be done after a flash.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Then reflash and Apex and wait some time before restoring any app and tell us if it still happens. Maybe a corrupted backup is causing your reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
i dont think i installed any system apps.. just apps i backed up..you think its one of those apps?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Could be. If an app crash it may make the phone restarts. And sice you are the only one having this issue it is clearly not a rom bug.

So by testing stock rom without restoring app or flashing anything else will help to find out what the problem is.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Are you using batch to backup and restore? there's, backup all user apps, backup system data, backup system data and all user apps. Of course the same for restore.

Like Watsa said, don't use the system data restore, bad things tend to happen after that.

Also, like everyone else has mentioned. Try a fresh load and don't restore anything. If it works, I would try restoring 1 app at a time and find out where the issue is.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Exactly. If reboots still happens with fresh install and no restore, we'll start looking elsewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
when its done. and i go to Device custommization and i choose lockscreen then choose MIUI UNLOCK then unchoose it?
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
thanks I will try that
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Just for giggles you may want to download the rom again. Downloads somtimes go bad too
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
yep thats the message for MIUI
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Everything about this rom is so smooth ...except for the browser. Wish we didn't have to choose between that and the lockscreens. MIUI's is so useful to me

Nope, All is well over here with my gallery when viewing pics
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Someone posted awhile back they were having trouble with the battery not showing anywhere near 100% after a full charge well this happened to me this morning. I have had no problems getting a good battery charge after unplugging my phone after leaving the phone on and plugged in all night but this morn I unplugged and I had 76% so it shut down and plugged it in for two hours and just unplugged and its showing I need to go further. Never had this prob before.... Weird :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I may go back to odexed JVR, for the smoothness :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Not weird as the "charging bug" seems to be random and may happen on any ROM/Kernel combo. With that said I have never seen it since I am on GB.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
For those with browser issues, I used the Browser.apk from SamHaLeKe's S.U.R.F.A.C.E. Rom. All is running smoothly.

Re-flash

hey guys, in the last 2 days i was experiencing some slowness .. weird, normally my TW launcher was good, now i switched to SE..But, some times i get the home screen without icons.. and takes about 5 seconds to launch all the icons again .. also that hapended on my TW launcher ....

maybe is the kernel, maybe not..

i will give a re-flash and see if that fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I always have this problem... But did not see whole I was on JVR-FUN. Now I am trying again by recalibrating my phone... Lets see how it goes
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
FYI, Antonda just released his Blue Ocean theme for JVR(odexed and deodexed) this morning. In the I9000 themes section. IMHO, this is one of the best themes around, along with mattedblues of course ;).
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

Couple things I've noticed when using Apex:

- It would appear that the music file's ID tags aren't being read properly. I've used MediaFix from the Market, didn't help. I'm using MixZing Player, which seems to read my mp3s correctly, but I really don't like the appearance and UI.

- No double click track skip option available using the button on the earphone. The same button can't turn on music unless the device's screen is on. I'll be able to pause the music, but unless I unpause immediately, I won't be able to turn my music back on unless I turn screen on.

- Having to unplug and replug my earphones every time I reboot phone. I get random freezes at least 2 times a day, during somewhat heavy usage (listening to music and browsing or go through my pictures), and always have to pull battery to get it working. So I have to unplug and replug in my earphone quite a few times every day, and it's probably no big deal, but it kind of bothers me. In my experiences with phones, the first thing to go is always the earphone jack.

Thanks again for the sick ROM!

What launcher?

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
People who are getting random freezes specially with music player what bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I use the i9000 ones that were included in the folder, downloaded from the Apex website. I use TW4 and TW4.5 and get the same reaction.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
SInce I have switched to music player from KF1 in 8.3 I am hearing reports of freeze. is is possible for someone who is having this issue to install captivate bootloaders and let me know if that fixes the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I've experienced that for many releases now. I don't reboot that often so it doesn't bother me as much.

[Captivate Android Development] rogersa2k:
I don't find the browser all that unusable, though I primarily use Opera Mobile, but I just flashed that one to test.

[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Will give it a try as soon as I get home from work!
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I too am getting random freezes which will reboot the phone. Two days ago my phone froze while trying to "Clear Memory" from the task manager. Yesterday it froze trying to update an app from the market. It just froze right now when I hit "settings". I'm stock everything, with i9000 bootloaders. I can deal with the occasional freeze/reboot, since this ROM is pretty damn awesome. I would like to try and pinpoint the problem though. Also, my stock browser works great, unlike 8.3.
[Captivate Android Development] darksum:
just switched over to this rom from mosaic VI, couldnt be happier

great work guys, keep it up, I think this is my new favorite ROM havnt had any problems yet at all
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Dumb question...how do I turn off auto updates in the NEW market? Or is it done in phone settings?

Sent from my jvr/apex powered cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I don't know, but it is still in the Market app, not phone settings.
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
actually froli13, i am having the same issue.. i haven't restored any system data or anything.. only apps with data.. whenever it freezes it restarts and usually freezes randomly when i clear memory or close an App.

Also, my main issue is Battery is decreasing at the speed of light! (ok not really but) it goes down a percent every 30-50seconds when i have it on. And charges at speed of turtle (literally)..

don't know what the issue with the battery is :S someone clarify?
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
and i am using everything that was in the file, (bootloaders, kernal, etc..)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Re-install those apps manually (from Market) and see if it helps.

It may be caused by your first problem. To make sure, go to Settings > About Phone > Battery usage and see what has the biggest impact. Generally, the first 3 items should be: Screen, Cell standby then wifi if you use it.
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
i will do the 1st step..uninstall and re install from market directly.. let you know if it still happens.

2nd - i have Display (30%), Music (20%), Standby (18%), Android system (14%) .. funnything is i don't even have music playing.. i just restarted my phone and see music there... i tried to end it but it just seems to come back.. any clue?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Music shouldn't be there... Did you listen to music since you last unplug your phone? These stats stays after a reboot now. They are reset after a full charge.

If it's not the case I would suggest you to re-download (just in case) and reflash the rom, and then install your apps from Market only.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
FWIW, not having any battery issues but checked after I read froli's post above.

Mine are, Tasks 23%, Cell Standby 17%, WiFi 17%.

I honestly have no clue why Tasks is even in that list as I have never used it. Went into Tibu and froze it just for good measure.
[Captivate Android Development] sportyankz:
I did listen to music after unplugging it from charger this morning...

You are saying it should be gone after i charge it again to 100%?
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
Nomore randome reboots

Thanks for the guys who helped me through the random reboots. It's not doing it so far going on 18 hours no reboots. But now my new issue is when going back to the home page it keeps refreshing the page over and over again like its flashhing.

Any advice?

I guess you are using TW4, right? It seems like it is due to kernel lowmemorrykiller settings. I switched to Talon earlier this morning and it seems like this problem is solved.

The stats should reset after charging to 100%

And so it goes! Agreed until I saw it today. was at 100 walked away for an hour or so and when I came back it was at 68! Did a master batt clear (except for total discharge) recharged to 100 on and then off. Unplugged, now I'm fine hmmmmm
[Captivate Android Development] getinlost:
I switched to KF1 Bootloaders just for giggles. I wasn't having any music player issues on I9000 loaders. (I listened to music for 6 hours straight today)

Both stock player and MIUI are working fine in and out of lockscreen.

Is there any way to make the call volume louder?
[Captivate Android Development] blacura:
what is TW4?
[Captivate Android Development] taylor.fowler:
Total Noob question, sorry.

Hi guys, Just looking for some confirmation here:

Coming from CM7, I would need to flash back to stock with a re-partition, right?

Preferably not using a one-click package from what I've read?

Just came over here from the Aria....HTC works just a tad differently.

Thanks for the help in advance, you guys have a great dev community on this device.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You don't have to flash back to stock, but if you want to, use this Odin-One-Click package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Then follow every steps of Apex install instructions. You'll find them on website.
[Captivate Android Development] taylor.fowler:
Sweet. Thanks a bunch!

Try different modem, some have louder call volume.

The install instructions for 8.x? Those seem to be the only ones i can find, and they're saying to flash the JVB bootloader via the Apex_Flasher.zip

Sorry If i'm being dense here, but there doesn't seem to be anything but a download link on the 9.x release page.

Thanks again for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
I guess you need to do it for each app you have installed from Market.

-Go to Market.

-Click on Menu> My Apps

-Click on any app you installed

-Uncheck auto update if it is checked.

I'm not sure if there its any shortcut for this.

Thought I would give this a shot coming from using MIUI for a few weeks.

After a day of using it, I have had no issues or lag. :)

Battery appears to be solid.

Why doesn't the new market show up with this ROM? The new market seemed to correct install issues we've had for awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
So Watsa, I'm assuming this rom came with I9000 bootloaders if flashed from stock, are you recommending i897 bootloaders yet or stick with what you have?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
KF1 bootloaders are in the new ApeX flasher zip.

But you asked a good question. Watsa, which do you prefer/use?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I'm obviously not watsa, but I can say that i897 bootloaders are recommended.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Kp1 has the loudest call volume.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am using KF1 for 2 reasons:

1. I like stock feel (The only thing itching me on Apex is Model Number in Settings which says GT-I9000)

2. I had my heart in my mouth when I was flashing back from KF1 to JF6 for testing and ODIN failed. Still I was able to get JF6 from PC --!-- Phone screen. Phewww (This presumably means that they are harder to brick)

I know some of us had problems with music player sluttering when we had JVQ music player with KF1 bootloaders, thats the reason i included KF1 music player in 8.3

Now it seems that maybe some of us who are still on I9000 BL might be having random freezes
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Next best thing froli, would that mean a reflash? It's been a while.

Edit, sorry, dumbest question ever. On i897 now.

Well, this thing is smooth as butter with 9.x and the Talon test build of the day. Battery is great, modem is fast, no FC, just guns along at 1.2ghz OC. literally the smoothest ROM I've used to date!
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
something abt flashing roms...and abt apex

i hav been flashin alot...and what i hav noticed lot of things in my course of flashin..

so just wanna share..might help flashers..

to get the best out of any rom..

i always take my backup of only contacts,pic and sms...and keep them in either external sd or in the computer...

then i factory reset i even format the internal sd during format...

then i install the rom...

then i restore my contats..the sms..pics i dont restore..as i dont need all of them in phone..(though if u guys do..it doesnt matter)

and then i hav apk's of all the apps which i generally use...which i take out using root explorer...(u guys can do that..or install fresh from market)

coz using tibu for restoring apps and data messed it up lot of time..(not all times.)so i keep it simple...

and if i followed the steps in the instruction...then i never had any reboots or freezes...if its some genuine problem..then everyone will face it..and obviously devs will come up with some solution..which in my case...i always was on apex as my daily driver..and i always got help..

never had batt problem also...its just u need to customize what u need..like if i was using 3g all the time..then my batt was draining..switched to 2g and problem solved...

in the same thread..i did post my usage..and it was pretty good..like 2 hours talktime and 2 hours screen on with 24 hours total usage...

once i flashed cognition 5 on apex jvr fun i was using..without doing factory reset and after the flash i saw that all my apps were there....and even batt % was showin..and lot of apps were forceclosin..so i undertood that it was a full wipe installation..

then flashed dlev's rom on that...worked fine...but didnt like it much...and wanted to come back to congnition so flashed cognition again..and BOOM..my phone wont pass the at n t boot screen..then just to recover..i tried to flash cognition again..didnt work...then i tried 8.2 apex..didnt work..tried..dlev's rom...and jvr fun..then apex 9...all of these were installled..as it it showed that installlation complete..but after rebootin i m not goin beyong the kernel logo..then my recovery mode was also not workin...to get to recovery mode i had to flash darccore kernal..

then finally had to go back to stock using one click odin..

and then again followed apex flasher..and now i m on apex 9...

abt apex...i hav flashed lot of diff roms on my captivate and on i9000....but i always like the apex best..

as it gives the extra functions we want..at the same time..rom is clean...it doesnt include too many extra mods and apps and stuff....

apex always keeps everything light ..still u want more functionality..then we hav extra flashable mods in apex website link..which we can use...

i think...its too much for one day... :p

sorry if i took 2 much of anyone's time in readin such a crappy long story...

if i wil remember somethin i will add later..;):cool::D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have read 2 lines today, I need 10 days to read the whole post :p
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you didnt see froli13' reply. It seems that launcher is getting killed for some with DC kernel, so when you hit home it basically reloads. Try Talon kernel which might solve this problem for ya
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Flashing procedure is mostly same for me. Except, I have all my contacts synced with my google account and I always save a new contact to my google account. This saves me a lot of headache as contacts are most important thing for me on my phone. They are restored when enter your google account information on first boot. For ease of use, I always opt to display only contacts with Phone numbers.

Last time when I had freezing problem on 8.2 & 8.3, I did a complete wipe including formatting sdcard, system, cache and data when flashing 9.0 (Note: If you format system and try to reboot, your phone will stuck in boot loop). So far ApeX 9.0 has been a great ROM for me.
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
1)by stock feel u mean..that it shows on boot i897..then i897 for dc kernal..instaed of i9000 and i897...sorry for askin as i m i9000 bootloaders..so dunno how it looks like on boot...coz i know bootloader doesnt show up anywhere else in the rom ...

and abt the itching part...i think its cool that apex model number is still gti900....we hav an advantge from that...as i9000 is more popular phone coz its for international market than just for at n t or rogers....

so to explain the advantage...skype just updated their app...and it video calling started supporting many more devices...but captivate wasnt listed...

and i even tried to install when i was on i897 rom..and video calling didnt work..but when i installed it on apex rom..it worked just fine..

2)i m on i9000 bootloader and flashed back to jf6....fortunately odin didnt fail..and everything was smooth...and didnt brick my phone..

but yes..my heart what beating too fast while doin that.. :p
[Captivate Android Development] killer_raj:
well u dont even need to waste time in readin that..its for naive flashers...not for u...:p

but read my sec post after that for sure..want ur views on that...

apex thread is daily newspaper of lot of xda member..

i hope noone tries to bannnn me or killllll me...seein a new reporter with so big news and with so much crap...:o

where can i get the Talon Kernel?
