You are definitely in the right thread. Thank you for supporting this project. I really appreciate it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Wonderful I highly reccomend that all other regular visitors of this thread do as well.
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Subscribed as well!! I'm really stoked about seeing what you've got going on with this!
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
ThingThree here,

I need a list of all for-sure testers.

Please PM me to confirm who is testing and who is not

NOTE: Coldskiesfullofblue, I've already got you.

I need this list by 3:00 pm tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
So glad to hear that. Please also consider becoming a tester.

ThingThree
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Who do I ask to move this???
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Can't you just use the app "no lock" to avoid the 5 minute delay for now?
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
I've considered, and I will gladly become one.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
I'd be willing to test this for you as well, if you'll have me.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Maybe. From what I get out of this is that it's not about the unlock screen, It's more about the connection between the power button and waking the screen up.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Thank you! We can use all the help we can get.
[Captivate Android Development] lauchon:
I have an extra phone, so I can help you testing the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Great! Thank for using your extra phone to support us.

Projected completion time is around 6:30.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
ouch sounds like your upload speeds even slower then mine lol
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Yes, that very well be the culprit of this slow speed, but my suspicious tell me that the ZIP is just a really big file.

:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
True. That is exactly why I, after testing, be reporting all components that are not correctly functioning to user MikeyMike01. If anyone on the thread can provide any fixes than we will be in business.

[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
umm its not working im getting a "cant open and "(bad)" its giving me an installation aborted =/
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Oh no...

What do we do?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
lol uhmm idk anyone else experiencing problems? thingthree...you are running this on your phone right now right?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
No... I dropped in a lake lol
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
what exactly have you been testing this on...?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
I have not tested it yet. That's why I said I need testers badly.
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
I'm also interested in testing this. About to flash now...
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Lol hope someone can get it working, really wanted this
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
kernel

I know how to fix it. I put in speedmid kernel and that's the culprit. See if you might be able to change it back
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
Do you still need testers?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Yes... I do now more than ever
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
Well I guess im one of them. Here we go...
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Did you say to try installing it with a speedmod kernel? Well I tried that and it still didn't work...I may have misread your post though, is that what you said?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
No...

I was thinking more that the kernel(in a zimage located in /updates/zimage)

Wait go and download the original port from team galaxy sense then tell me the names of all four folders in the. Zip file
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Meta-inf / data / kernel_update / system
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
What is the contents of kernel_update and in my rom what is the contents of update
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Redbend_u and zimage and for your rom its modem.bin / redbend.ua / sbl.bin / zimage
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
OK now follow these steps carefully.

1. Copy the files in update in my rom to the kernel_update. Say yes to any replace file? Prompts.2. Move kernel_update to my rom and delete update
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Alright I don't have access to a PC right now so ill see if I can do it from my phone
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
Boot loop.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
This would get alot more attention and support if it was in the captivate section.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Oh no did you flash back to stock jf6?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
OK but how do I move it
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Pm a mod and have them move it for you.

Sent from my Amazing Captivate using the XDA Premium App Infused with Tiger Blood
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Well I did it
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
OK so if you do infact have my rom looking like this

Main:

System

Data

Mata-Inf

Kernel_update:

Redbend.us

Modem.bin

Zimage

Sbl.bin

Than try flashing now. Remember to Odin back to stock first!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Do I have flash back to stock? Lol if I do.then ill have to flash it tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Yes, I think you do, but just in case you don't, I guess UT would n:Dot hurt to try flashing now...
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Ill flash in a bit
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
That works just fine. If you are able to flash fine, PM me and I will have you upload the fixed version.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
OK but witch moderator
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Sorry brah still won't let be install
[Captivate Android Development] :
Zelendel is one of the moderators that you can contact.

The ROM is downloading now.

Questions:

1. I see that you were saying that you dropped your phone in a lake, has this been installed to a Captivate prior to you uploading or have you made the changes to the ROM without any test device?

2. Aside from speedmod kernel, what changes have been made? You'll need to include a changelog for the ROM so we have an idea of where to look for problems and anyone who decides to help you will know what has been done.

3. With an HTC Sense port don't you have to have a kernel that is designed for the ROM? Ex. Samsung TouchWiz and associated kernel.

These are just honest questions without the intent to flame. I'm just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
1.No prior testing has been done.

2.I will work on my changelog. Thank you.

3.Now that i think about it i think i do remember hearing it requires the sense kernel.

Would you replace the kernel for me? I would send you mossination's fixed version. Please respond Asap.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I think it would be best if you had a device to test a bootable version on. I'm interested in the ROM but I can't say that I can flash this until I know that it boots. I don't have a jig and I have to have my phone functional. I can surely work with you on it once you have a bootable .zip.

I was looking through the ROM and trying to figure out what has been changed other than the kernel. I found some superficial things such as the I897 was changed to I9000 or the initial ringtones or preferences were changed. I'm having trouble finding any porting or large changes that have been done. I would really need to know everything that you've done to the ROM in order to be any help.

Just because I haven't found anything doesn't mean that there hasn't been any changes. I'm no dev. Feel free to PM me when this is bootable and I'll see what I can do then.

Edit: I've been working on learning how to build a ROM on my own but I don't have the knowhow to be able to do much when it comes to a port, I can drag and drop and edit a couple things to make that work. Other than that, I have no working experience.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no thanks to the original porting team from GoneGalaxySense (me, rafyvitto, whosdaman, mastertm)?

I'd like to believe it's a simple oversight as this is clearly based on it (you left the exact some folder structure as we had, with system apps being put in /data/app_s), we put it out there so people would continue the work. no idea why you replaced the kernel as the kernel had a modified initramfs to boot sense (speedmod shouldn't be capable of booting it)...

besides that the list of issues is EXACTLY the same as what we had, so I'm not sure why this is essentially being rereleased with your name on it.

on top of that, you're releasing it without having tested it? come on. and your update script is simply installing a kernel and THAT'S IT! no copying of the ROM ever occurs in this little tidbit:

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:updates TMP:/updates
set_perm 0 0 755 TMP:/updates/redbend_ua
run_program /tmp/updates/redbend_ua restore /tmp/updates/zImage /dev/block/bml7
show_progress 0.4 10

seems to me, you took a moderately broken ROM and broke it more... not the standard way of doing things...
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I'm a little bit concerned about Kaik541's post. Should definitely acknowledge the original team here.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
wow awfully rude way to approach someone whose actually trying to do something with this

the ops gave up hope and abandoned it, so why worry what this guy does? maybe itll take a bit but more likely then not it will end up in a far more functional state then it was when he began.

soo dont hate on this guy, unless youve secretly built a working version you dont deserve that right :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I'll be watching this thread.

Having come from the HTC Legend, and not having htc sense with the captivate is a bit of a pain.

I'm probably not the kind that will flash this now, but i might give it a try once it's gone stable.

All the best to ya!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I didn't say I was mad, I'm saying what's new? nothing's been fixed (from the look of things) and hasn't even been tested. I'm letting him know that his switching of kernels was a bad move because it won't boot and that his update-script doesn't even work... I'm trying to help him.

the worst I said was that me and my team didn't get credit for the base he started from. a simple "thanks" is all I'm asking for, and an explanation as to what's been fixed. he has a changelog for stuff he *thinks* might work, but he hasn't tested at all. you'd be on my side if you've ever released anything, I'm BEYOND fine him continuing the work (which if you read the OP from the other thread, was the whole point of why we released what we did), but why release something that:

a) hasn't been tested

b) includes no certain fixes (if they do work, that's great, but how is anybody supposed to find out because)

c) the update-script doesn't work as it's taken from someone's kernel-install, not our old install script (which had proper symlinks and commands to get everything put in the right spot) because nothing besides the kernel gets installed.

if you stopped and read what I wrote, you would see I wasn't attacking him (I even said I assume his lack of thanks was just an oversight/forgetfulness), I'm trying to help him and encourage him to test his releases before he makes them public.

edit: I should also add that you commented earlier in the thread that he did "so much more" than the original developers/porters (TeamGalaxySense... i.e. the team I was on...) when I've yet to see a new feature added or verification of any bugs fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] UltimaX:
I agree with you on that, I hate to be rude and im not bashing the guy but his story seemed fishy from the get go and I personally would love to have sense on my phone but a simple thanks to the original devs wouldn't hurt either. I'm just saying this rom is a dud and nothing he did to it made it any better so I would shy away til someone who actually makes a sense rom bootable and thoroughly tested.

Edit: how do we know if this guy is just posting this to get credit for something that he really didn't do anything on he doesn't even have his own phone to test it on. It is just something to think about for all we know this rom he released could bricked all of our phones just be more mindful of how people release these types of rom without any indication of making it any better or that he can't test it because he dropped his phone in the lake...

[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Yes it is kinda hard to dev a rom when you do not even have that phone to test on.

Just found his post from the link to the thread of the old dev team and he just posted there on the 14th that he was downloading the rom to edit and post himself. Here is the post.

[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I admit lol I shouldn't of tested his rom when he said he dropped his phone in a lake but I was too excited to care...anywho I hope the original dev's of this arent mad in any way, they do deserve the most credit(or all of it since the "fixed" rom didnt even work)...well I hope someday there will be a fully stable sense port for the captivate :D
[Captivate Android Development] low99:
pardon me for this stupid question, but if everyone likes HTC sense so much, why not get a HTC phone?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Because when everyone got the captivate there was no high end android device on ATT and at the moment there is only 1 to date that is worth buying and that is the htc inspire.
[Captivate Android Development] 41LY45:
That,

and because we can (?).

And yeah, low99, we are spoilt with choices here in Malaysia.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Not to mention, the inspire JUST came out. Meaning that for us to have gotten a good android phone on ATT with sense, we'd have had to wait til now.
[Captivate Android Development] 41LY45:
Ahhh.. the joys of having phones carrier locked. :facepalm:
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Yes, I would like for everyone to know that I thanked Team Galaxy Sense captivated in that post.
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
Ok, i think you should go back and read post 1 again because you guys had not had camera or phone service working. Please read things more carefully in the future, or get the h@&l off my thread cause you say you nite flaming but i am feeling the heat. This thread is a constructive place where we are working together to build a stable sense ron for the captivate, but your post is both disruptive and deconstructive, and plain respectful to me and every one who is on here. So unless you have something good to say... DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Can I flash it from my device without a computer
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I did so because htc dropped the amoled screens...

Don't know about the rest.
[Captivate Android Development] UltimaX:
Dude relax he was in no way shape or form rude or direspectful to you or anyone else. He only stated the truth about your rom and he is obviously from the dev team who released the alpha build of the sense rom so he knows what he is talking about if you released a rom without prior testing or knowledge to know how to release a proper bootable rom and expect other people to do it for you because your phone dropped in a lake that is your problem. I suggest next time take time to buy another cappy and test that rom you supposedly made better from the previous version and test it thoroughly before releasing a non working rom for everyone to try to install on there phone and come to find out its not even able to boot. So please I would change the title of the post because imo I think that's plain lying to get people to download your rom.

[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
to tell the truth i dont think htc sense is better than samsung touchwiz (on galaxy s phones) buuut,htc sense looks way better. also i noticed on my hero that sense worked a tad better if i didnt flash a rom,i just flashed a kernal after rooting and it worked like a charm. just a few things to consider. seems as if tweaking/modding/hacking/rooting or whatever,got harder as far as samsung's phones when the galaxy phones got here
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I agree but its always like that. HTC guys hate sense yet now the captivate guys want it :eek: I had a few HTC phones and i gotta say. No way shape or form would i want sense on here now :D

I guess maybe the sense guys want TW now :p
[Captivate Android Development] dolby71:
Oh I've missed this since losing my HTC HD2.

Downloading right now!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I just went back and reread the entire OP to see if I had misread it or if you had added something, but I see absolutely zero reference to TeamGalaxySense (even as a thanks for basing this ROM on), which is all I'm asking for. Also, you have no way of knowing if you've fixed camera or phone because you said yourself you are incapable of flashing/testing it because you dropped your phone in a lake. Just adding an apk or two most likely won't fix either of those things (and as I said earlier, if they do, that's good news).

And if you actually read what I wrote, you would realize most of it was constructive (telling you to go back to the working kernel, telling you to use the original update-script, to TEST your releases before posting--if you can't then don't do a public release). Again, I have no problem with you guys continuing the work, as I'm saying this for the third time, it's just the lack of even a "thanks" or a functioning ROM that bugs me, I'm sure even a mod would agree that I wasn't flaming... 90% of what I said was giving you advice on how to get a proper booting ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So the screen doesn't go to standby mode when you click the lock button? Or the phone doesn't turn off literally? And the screen wake up bug, is it random?
[Captivate Android Development] thingthree:
I will let you know that i am greatly appreciative and will go to great lengths to fix the Rom.

But i think you should go back and read the 121st post in the galaxy Sense captivate thread, particularly the last sentence before the signature: "Thank you soooooooo much Team Galaxy Sense captivate!!!"
[Captivate Android Development] trell959:
the phone doesnt turn off...literally. as far as the lock screen call, when you try and unlock your phone, the screen wont wake up. sometimes it takes 5 mins
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
best of luck dude, and as far your welcome is concerned all i can say is this is the trend here... :D

i was also welcomed in a grand fashion :D
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Wow. That's quite some time. Lol. I hope this will be fixed as soon as possible and to be stable, I want to try this one out.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
so if i have to text someone i will have to unlock 5 mins before that? :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Or plug the charger in and you wont have to wait
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
yeah lol,i kinna like sense and wouldnt mind testing it out because its nice to see something new on the cappy but i wouldnt make it an everyday thing. i do hope this gets stable tho,maybe it wont be bad at all:)

[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Don't you just love the community on this forum? Everyone assumes stuff and *****es endlessly about it while missing any context or content. The endless devotion to the "if you dont like it, shut up" mentality is debasing human existence and promoting stupidity.

I'll probably get in trouble for this but the question of "how do you do a public release on a completely untested ROM?" is valid and should be pondered by anyone who seeks to actually do something productive instead of spinning their wheels with a doomed prospect.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Sense is hideous. I don't understand why people want it.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am with you. Just like when they tried to port Miui! WTF, if you want an iPhone go buy one!

Idk I only tried sense out on the cappy for a few minutes but It seemed really cool
