created a Serendipity.zip add-on but wont install in cwm. says install aborted.:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
First a friendly suggestion, general questions about the Serendipity ROM belong in the Serendipity Q&A thread.

Now to solve your problem, go into recovery and then choose advanced speedmod settings or something similar and then tweaks and choose enable android logger or something similar. Then try one of those app locking apps again.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] simple man:
You can go back to the kitchen and get the stock battery (top of the battery section) while there the (include transitions) are very cool and use titanium backup to uninstall samsung mms

I just flashed the colored setting menu, but now I want to revert back. How can I do it? :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] WickedNite:
You can grab the Settings.apk from the Serendipity package and replace the colored one with it using Root explorer and reboot. That's what I do, I don't know if it's dangerous or not but it works.

Colored Add to Screen Icons

I've flashed the colored settings mod and it looks awesome. I've also been able to flash the colored power menu icons as well (from zip earlier in this thread). I'm wondering if anybody has some good colored icons for the Add to Screen menu? See the attached screen shot. If I had these in color then all my menus would be in color. That would complete the look of my Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I may be mistaken, but I think the images in that menu depend on your launcher.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jazua:
Can you give me a link for the colored power menu?

And is it compatible with serendipity 6.4?

Well, it's in the Kitchen thread, but it's not a flashable zip. Search this thread and you'll find the files, the instructions are below.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] elwilson4:
Here is the file I flashed in CWM. This will also change your battery icon as well to the green droid. So if you don't like the green droid baterry icon then just flash new mod from the kitchen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] elwilson4:
That makes sense. I should of thought of that. I'm using Go Launcher. Does anybody know of a different launcher that has the colored add to screen menu? Maybe I can extract from that and add to my launcher.

You could probably find the HTC Sense launcher around the forums somewhere and pull the images from there

Semitransparent Notification Bar

I am a Serendipity user/fan and I have been trying to figure out how to make my notification bar semitransparent. I see a lot of talk about transparent notification bar, but it looks like that is in reference to the pull down notification curtain. I am looking to make the notification bar itself semitransparent, like in the MIUI ROM (see attached screenshot). Is that possible in Serendipity?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Yes just change the images in the framework to semi-transparent ones.

The "RedROM" theme has a problem.

Once you flash the theme, it come out nice and pretty. However, once you enter the android market once or twice, the android "Market" icon loses its red color. that is not all. Once you access the andoid market after the icon loses its red theme, you will notice that the "black theme" within the market place disappears and resorts to the traditional white background. I have flashed many times and same issue arises.

Note: Doesn't happen with the "blue theme".

Can you help?

Issue with Red H battery

First off Ive been searching since i got my phone for an awesome ROM and I have to say yours is the best I've found. But there seems to be an issue with the Red H battery. Every time I load it (even with Redrom selected) it changes the notification buttons back to green and then have to load the redrom package again to get the red back. I guess i could adjust it myself but i just wanted to let you know. Thanks again for the hard work great ROM!

Edit: I think it was because I was I was installing the notification bar with it. Install add-ons first then redrom.

how to select serendipity add-on?

Hi,

I was able to install serendipity 6.4 yesterday. I moved from the stock version to 6.4.

I want to have the samsung keyboard, DLNA, voice recorder. I am not sure what the Theme mods will do. If they are just going to add a few themes to my option list I would like to have them. Could you please let me what the theme mods are for?

Also Base Mods seems to be mandatory selection. I am not sure as to which one I should select. My phone is a Captivate AT&T model. Could someone please help me out?

My phone is working great now, the GPS is too good.. and I dont want to loose it. I hope installing any of the above mentioned add-ons wont spoil the current settings.

Undoing a mod

I love the kitchen implementation but have a suggestion for the listings (at least for the battery mods). Could you add a picture next to the name so that it is easy to figure out which one someone wants to download? Thanks :)

edit: nvm, I had gone on the phone, when I visited on the desktop I got the images on hover.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sadastronaut:
Sorry if this is a dumb question; I'm somewhat new to this stuff. Is there a certain app I should use to install the apk? I tried using Installer app from ipop, but it simply says "Application not installed". It may be because it's a system level app and I don't think this Installer has root level access.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] halfsoul:
I would use TiBu to backup & uninstall the current app, then use adb to install the new one
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sadastronaut:
I was able to uninstall. Is there a way to install without adb? I don't have the SDK on my work computer.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
You can use a program like Root Explorer and copy the .apk into the appropriate folder (/system/app). Remember to switch to Read/Write, then switch it back after you copy it into the folder.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sadastronaut:
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Right now I reinstalled the Samsung MMS and will try this later because I don't want to be without texting for a long time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sadastronaut:
Thanks. That worked. Because I'm cheap I used the free Ghost Commander as a file manager that allowed me to change permissions, although it turned out that the OS did it on its own.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Yes, I noticed the permissions were set when I did it, too - I guess not all will work that way, that's why I forgot to mention it.

Accurate Gingerbread batt w/ numbers

Since the battery w/ percentage isn't available on the add-on kitchen yet (and since the UOT one is hard to read and not as polished as stock GB) I decided to make my own accurate battery. Originally a UOT package, updated with my icons. These are the GB icons that come with Serendipity 7 with numbers superimposed.

Attached here if anyone else wants it:

-Accurate Gingerbread batt with numbers

-Transparent status pull-down

-Green overscroll glow (if enabled)

I do wish the regular battery mods were ready for SVII, I liked my little round green animated one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] halfsoul:
I don't know, what's in it? If it has framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk then yes it would add back in the clock. And no, you wouldn't be able to have both.

Have you tried the UOT kitchen? It has several round batts.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
No clock is more important to me than the battery. I've seen too many other reports of things breaking to bother with the UOT kitchen. I'll just be patient and wait for Chance to fix things up :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guti1977:
What I am missing?

I was able to get the overscroll however it is yellow for me, what do I need to do to enable the green option?

Transparent status pull-down was not applied either. :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] halfsoul:
Orange overscroll is Gingerbread default, so it sounds like you haven't applied my zip file yet (if that's what you wanted).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] halfsoul:
Just tested it for you. Since they each have modified SystemUI.apk files, the order matters.

mine then noclock = no clock, batt w/ numbers, green overscroll (transparent pulldown reverted)

noclock then mine = batt w/ numbers, transparent pulldown, green overscroll (noclock reverted)

Also, FWIW: I've done >10 UOT flashes on Serendipity 7 trying out different things and never had a problem. I did make a revert file to go back to stock Serendipity just in case though -- attached if you want it.

You can use the UOT kitchen, also, with Serendipity VII. Also, if you go out to the main Captivate Android Development thread listing, from there you can click on the little paperclip icon to the right of the thread title and look at the various files that have been posted to the main ROM thread. There might be something there you can use. Just search the thread for the corresponding post to read up on the mod.

Mod .zip not installing?

I just installed Serendipity VII to my Captivate today and was trying to get my Exchange-based email set up, so I headed to the mod kitchen and compiled a package with the Samsung Email app, the Samsung Clock and Keyboard, and a different battery indicator. It downloaded fine and I transferred it to the SD, but when I went to flash it with CWM, it didn't work. It just said "installation aborted" and something like "Class 7" (there was definitely a 7 and a word denoting type of error, I think...).

I'm going to try again tomorrow, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Serendipity 7 build 2 on my captivate and I downloaded then flashed the Samsung email client from the addon kitchen (build #1810839971 ). The app works fine except that the autocorrect doesn't work nor does the dictionary/suggestions work anymore while I am typing. This is true no matter which keyboard I choose to use, ie the Samsung keyboard, stock gingerbread keyboard, or gingerbread keyboard downloaded from the market. Any suggestions to get this working? It's very frustrating to type messages without the autocorrect/auto capitalization working.
