as in, the add-ons section of the webpage isnt working

can anybody revive this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
I believe Chance was paying for the server space for the kitchen, and he is no longer supporting it. Perhaps he'll chime in here and be able to provide you the files you want.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Hey bwoo,

Here are the files that you were looking for.

Talk.apk http://www.mediafire.com/?j6gfr0m1l2vpq61

Quickoffice.apk http://www.mediafire.com/?28cht7r2hj89lc9

I apologize that it took me this long to get these too you, had a family member go to the hospital.

Thanks,

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bwoo:
Wow thanks so much ChanceM, much appreciated! and there is absolutely no reason for you to apologize :)

I hope everything;s ok with you and your family

all the best!

I was using my phone I'll try it again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Worked perfectly thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Now everything works fine but the email app won't work it automatically force closes as soon as I try to open it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
grab a logcat and we will see why.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Duyo:
How do I change the text message notification icon? I was able to swap out voice mail and usb icons but I can not find the text icon in the framework. Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
Chance, can you add the unthemed market to your kitchen as well? Thanks!

Secondly, if I already have some of the things in the kitchen on my ROM already, for example, Google Talk, Green D battery mod and transparent notification, and I would like to add unthemed Gmail, should I select those features I already have along with the unthemed Gmail or should I just select the components I specifically want to add this time?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
What do you mean a log cat
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
swap out the notification icon in the Mms.apk

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Just select the things that you wish to add at this time. I will be adding the unthemed market.

Hey Chance, whenever i try to open the zip that i downloaded from the kitchen, i get an error saying the zip is corrupted or damaged, Why?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
maybe it is corrupt or damaged? But they open up fine for me. You shouldn't need to open them up though.

My Build # 87201289. I flashed serendipity 5.10 successfully but when i try to add these addons using three button combo recovery it is getting aborted. how do i successfully install these packages?

can someone please help me with this? thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Download the zip and then long press your power button, choose Recovery. Select Flash Zip from File, choose the file, and flash it - then reboot. You don't need to use the three button combo.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Try it again I forgot to upload the apk >.<
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I tried it. Not working.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I tried it again but not working. Can you help me with a similar package I can activate. When I do the recovery method it is saying that it is aborted when I select install from sd zip. Please help. I look forward to have those apps and packages. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
How is it 'not working'? Can't help

If you aren't more specific.

I have the package .zip on the root of my phone. I did long press of the power key. Selected recovery. When it came back up, I selected install zip from sd and selected the package zip. It ran and gave me an error msg (aborted !). I also don't understand.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
okay please give me your build number. Then I can download the exact package you are using and test it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Can someone please help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
My build number is 87201289. Thanks a lot for helping me. Pls let me know what I shld do after receiving the .zip. Thanks once again
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
if you don't post your build numbers and what you see on the screen we can not help you.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
That is an old build number I told you to try it again that means re download a new package.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Oops sorry. I an doing that now. Will get back
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I did exactly what you told and built a new package (Build # 563040168).

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Duyo:
Thank You. Somehow I did not see your answer yesterday. Thanks again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
What happened to the other

add ons like the nexus boot screen
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
@chanceM

I downloaded 5.10_to_5.11.zip to the root of my phone (did the download over the phone. Did not connect the phone to comp on usb debugging). Can I long press the power key, select recovery and choose zip from sd and select 5.10_to_5.11.zip to finish updating my firmware from 5.10 to 5.11? If yes then do I need to reinstall all the apps? Please advise. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
I'll answer for chance. The answer is yes and no. And it's not firmware, it's just an update.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] white00gt:
Any idea how to change boot loading screen,

I like the current one just would like to know how if I decided to change it and where to get new boot up animation that works with Serendipity
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Thank you. Can you please let me know the size of this update zip file? I see about 1.86 M on my phone. Just want to make sure that my phone downloaded properly
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Forget it. I did the update already :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
There is a how to video on General section.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] white00gt:
Thanks one more thing any idea how I can get screen shots of the different battery icons that are add-ons , dont have a clue what they look like
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Mouse over the battery selections. A picture will pop out. I also didn't notice at first. :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] white00gt:
DUH! , thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
I do have a set that will work for serendipity be unfortunately the install script has to be done in amend for it to work properly. I can send you a .zip thats all read to go and you can just swap out the files.

If you want to ditch that horrible AT&T logo check this out New Boot Screen you can replace the image with anything you want don't have to use the one provided.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I noticed that quickoffice which used to be on the stock is gone after upgrading to serendipity. Does not matter a lot but is there anyway I can get the .sdk and sideload it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
this has been added to the kitchen.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Thanks a lot for patiently handling general nuisances like me :) If it is not asking a lot, then i have a small request. I think we need to have more choices of widgets. Is it possible to bring some of the samsung widgets or widgets in the kitchen that can be used for similar purposes would be great. I am mot missing much with samsung UI except for the quickoffice app (which you already added..and a BIG THANKS for that) and the following widgets.

1. The Buddies Now widget where i can scroll through all my contacts and make a call / send msg etc. The widget also tied well with SNS accounts

2. The facebook widget (feeds and updates widget)

3. Daily Briefing

Also, is it possible to include pinch / swipe to bring all home screens on to a single page (somewhat like HTC sense UI) through an update?

I know that i asked for a lot but it would be great to have them with all other added benefits of serendipity.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Maybe to add in another suggestion could you add in a messaging orb to the rotary unlock and make it to vibrate not sound on and off
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
That's not happening soon. They basically ported that lockscreen over. They didn't build it. It's not a simple task.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
The only problem with adding these widgets is they require the touchwiz launcher, which we dont use.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
hmmmm interesting well it certainly doesn't seem too be out of these guys league if they managed to publish this beast of a rom
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I understand now. How about the swipe / pinch to bring all homescreens on the same window? Launcherpro has this functionality. I hope that would be possible to add in the kitchen right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
its in the market lol DL it!

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Hahaha..I have it installed sir. I asked if we can have that functionality within serendipity's launcher? :-) that's what I meant ..I can always have launcherpro running but prefer to have it within serendipity UI itself ..possible to do ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
One more thing. I noticed that not all of my apps on my phone showing up in the market app l. Only a few are showing up as my apps. Strange. Anyone experienced this? Is there a way to fix this? Is this something common with serendipity ROM?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
I've noticed this too sometimes
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
the next time you download something from the market they will show up.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Why is that? Also, if they don't show up in the market as my apps then I may not get the updates when they are available right? Am I missing something?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
not 100% sure just the way its always been...

Rom kitchen questions

I accidently installed a wrong package from the rom kitchen add ons. How would I remove those add ons? (to be specific I accidently installed the transitions add on)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Just build another package without the transitions.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
My best guess is that the Market app does something that manually pushing it doesn't quote accomplish.

I've also discovered you can clear the data from the market and download manager to get them to show up.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] stevrodriguez:
It dosent seem to work
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Thanks. Which download mgr?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Where you trying to install stock? Okay modified the logic to allow for the stock option.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Market/Clear Data, also same path but Download Manager instead of Market
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
If only I saw this msg before redownloading all apps from the market. So, now or in the future I can do what you said to make apps appear in the market right? :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Should work, I was just giving the paths to the caches to clear, I've never had the problem myself.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] stevrodriguez:
Thanks!

Thanks a lot, it worked! By the way, serendipity is the best rom i've used so far on my captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I agree with that. No offense to other ROM developers, but Serendipity is by far the best custom ROM out there for captivate. I wish Samsung takes lot of learning from the implementation of serendipity. Thanks a lot guys. You guys are the best
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Is it possible to add samsung mediahub to the kitchen? Also, the pinch to bring all home pages on the same window?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
I don't think we have a working media hub. If you want the pinch for home pages you will need a launcher that supports it. Try Launcher Pro

ChanceM

Sent from a Senendipity Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Someone needs to extract the media hub from kb1 and push to serendipity and let us know if it works.

I flashed speedmod kernel k13c-500hz-#28. I used to have k13b. Should this k13c improve performance of serendipity 5.11 further?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rFlux:
On stock Android 2.1 there was a Voice Dialer app. You'd say "Call John Smith" and a selection screen with results would pop up. There is a Voice Search app that comes default on Serendipity, but this same feature does not seem to work, even though it claims to be capable. I think Voice Search is made by Google so this may be out of your control, but does this work properly for anyone else? I say "Call John Smith at home" and all it gives me is the option to search those words on Google.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
This works for me. IDK

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ptrout:
I just posted the same question on Q&A section.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4UDJtoMVaQ

This app right ?

I used to have it before Serendipity, but on 5.11 its gone as well. I tried using the google voice search app, like everyone suggests to, but I get the same result as you. Its just brings up web searches of things I asked to call. Its odd because it can find number of a friend "call Pierce garcia" its works, I say "call mom" its doesn't.

The odd part is I cant even find Pierce Garcia in my contacts, yet my mom is in contacts. I do have exchange account, and it has sync to my phone contacts calendar etc.... wonder if that is part of the problem, though it all worked fine under Darky, and Perception 10.x

any thoughts ?

I see an update for google's gmail app. But, the update is not getting installed. It says the package is not signed properly. I got the native gmail app from the kitchen. is there something kitchen should take care of? Please help
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
My voice search works perfect. I called three people. Mine works as ChanceM's.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I am surprised no one else has noticed this or having this problem. Can someone please please help. I dont have an issue with the unthemed gmail i added from the kitchen but i when see an update available in the market i would rather grab it..just annoying to see update thing in the market LOL

I dont see uninstall option when i go into application "manage applications" under settings>applications. I dont even see the app from the application manager. how do i uninstall. i looked at the version it says gmail version 2.3.2. (unthemed gmail from the kitchen). PLEASE HELP
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Okay calm down breathe.

Now open up a term:

su

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system/

rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

reboot your phone

DL gmail from market.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I will. But, when you say open up a terminal how do I go about it? Open a terminal through cmd prompt in my comp? Hook up phone on usb debugging mode things like that? Or can I do all this from the phone? Sorry I am still catching up with the tech stuff..thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Either adb through command prompt and adb shell or DL term emulator from the market.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
You need to have ADB set up on your computer. Here is a link to a tutorial that will help get you set up.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I downloaded android terminal emulator from the market. Do I run the commands exactly as you typed above?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
yes that's why I gave them to you..... *face palm*

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Thanks. I will try the terminal emulator method first. If it doesn't work then adb. Thanks a lot
[Captivate Themes and Apps] skoNuff:
I posted this in the Serendipity thread.. but I should have posted it here, sorry about that. Is this fixable?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Yeah I have talk to Mikey its on our list of things to do. We are working on a few things for the next release.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
it worked...thanks again..i downloaded the android terminal emulator and executed the command that you gave...glad that i am learning a lot here..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Thanks a lot. I used android terminal emulator this time. But, I downloaded the adb too for future use. thanks for the suggestion.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] stevrodriguez:
could you please make an add on that removes the search widget theme?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] meohman1:
Here's how I did it - I went to root explorer, navigated to /system/app/ and deleted gmail.apk -> rebooted -> went to Market and downloaded gmail.apk.

Back to the standard Gmail theme.

Hope this helps.

Mike
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
It does. I took the terminal emulator route this time. the root explorer is easier. I just got the new settings.apk replaced (to get colors in the settings) using super manager app (same as root explorer but it's free)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rFlux:
Yeah, the app in your video link is the one I'm missing and want. It worked perfectly. I don't know what's up with your contacts situation. Not happening to me. Also, I tried calling many different people with the Google Voice Search and none worked. Although it did try to call random places around the USA whose names sounded nothing like what I was saying. Wtf? (and yes I speak clearly)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
I may have something to appease you guys I will get to it tomorrow...

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
2.3?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] skoNuff:
I know its only a cosmetic annoyance, but still glad to hear its one of the things being worked on. :D

Btw.. Chance, do you know anything about changing/themeing livewallpapers?? I would absolutely LOVE the Microbes wallpaper with just a black background.. completely removing the animated blue/purple smoke and keeping just the Microbes.

If you could take it a step further.. changing the Microbes color to the gingerbread green.. that would be phenominal!!! Either way.. if you could do something like this.. expect a nice donation from me soon to follow. ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Okay guys I have added the Voice Dialer that I think you were looking for to the kitchen.

Maybe I will give it a look after the next version is released and I finish my theme of Serendipity...

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Surprise! Chance made a theme for Serendipity. Better be awesome!

Battery Mod Transitions

So under Battery Mods in the app kitchen what exactly does the include transitions do? Well I know what it does, just not what transitions its referring too. What are they? Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
They are fly-in transitions.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] happycappy:
The only links on the whole page are the 'here' on top, and then on the bottom where you put 'voice dialer has been added'. IDK, I've been up way too long. I just did it from the computer. Good stuff.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
As promised I have added the colored Settings to the kitchen and as with everything else it has been automated so if there is a new version in Serendipity just DL a new package after the release and you will retain all new features.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Imho I prefer the stock color settings, but we all have our own little preferences. Btw I tested and it's working great.

Here is the colored settings (stock version).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
So if I flash that I won't lose any of the features like I read a couple of pages back in the ROM forum. Someone flashed a color_settings.zip (not saying its this one) and it removed the AM/PM and always on feature. That won't happen right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Aye sir...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Thanks I just flashed and it looks great. I hope he includes this version in the kitchen as well. You can never have too many options. Thanks again.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] cc2ee:
is there a way to get back to the skinned swype keyboard? I flashed the alternate keyboard thinking I could switch between the two and found out that I cant and have decided I like the black one better. The more black the better, less battery drain! Adding this to the kitchen might be helpful!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] stevrodriguez:
Nope....

it didnt work so can you make a zip that will replace it for the regular stock settings from the rom
