Hold for a second and we can communicate through pm. I am reading some conflicting reports to my understanding
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Testing out the CM7 kernel right now and see if that improves battery. Auto rotate doesn't work, I think I know why.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
are you testing it with MIUI?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes.

Still no auto rotate...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Outside of z image what files did you copy over
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Modules, libsensorservice.so, sensors.aries.so, sensors.goldfish.so, and lights.aries.so
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Hmmm. No auto rotate
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Ok, I manually replaced them instead of flashing them in a zip and now it works.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
How does it feel speed wise
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's pretty good. It's faster than Kang on RC6 (for me Kang was laggy on the latest build). So speed is good. Now need to see how the battery is.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am going to do the same here
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
so what all do i need to manually switch out for that kernel to work. or could one of you guys just post the one you're using so i can test it out> that would be awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I an puting a rom package together. If interested I will pm a link once I flash it and confirm oort is working
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yeah dude. definitely pm me with the link asap when you got it. i'm going out to eat with my girls family and i need the distraction! THANKS!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
i am close i think, little trial and error. have to apply theme and see if i ge rotation up and i will pm you
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
awesome! waiting
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Sorry something is off, wifi worked but in reboot took forever to boot now I have error, scrapping starting over
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Its cool. I'm patient.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
booted again, wifi working on first boot, going to restore my apps because i wiped everything then apply a theme and see how it shakes out.

did have one random blip on bootanimation so i am not hopeful but lets see
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Awesome. Gotta try it out and see.

sent from my Captivate running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
there is something off with what I am doing, i currently have wifi auto rotation and data but on every boot the boot animation flashes a couple times. if you want i will upload, considering making a flashable kernel package

prototype

are you experiencing anything like this
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Can't you just flash the kernel. Upload away. Ill test it out and try and help work things out.

sent from my Captivate running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
what modem do you use
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Does it only happen on a theme using a custom boot animation? Or on the default animation too?

Send me the file and I can look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No custom boot but then again I also had odd behavior with platypus
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Uploading will pm shortly
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hmm, mine is booting fine without any issues.

I know a couple of betas ago, I had an issue where I applied a theme and it would show the animation, and then show it again and then finally boot up.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is what is happening. Oh well everything running well now

Considering there is no oc speed is nice
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Battery life was my only hiccup with miui . That gets improved , the Rom is almost perfect imho . The speed.is already better than continuum, without tweaking :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
We are playing with the kernel from the latest cm7 nightly. I was commenting on speed of that. Hopefully battery is better, we will see
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Task

Let me know when you are booted up
[Captivate Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Alright so I recently upgraded from RC5C to RC6 and now my rotation is completely gone. I've tried toggling it on and off as well as rebooting in between. Reflashing sadly also doesn't work. Forcing landscape in individual apps however does work. It's doesn't make the phone horribly unusable or anything but it'd be nice to have it back :p any thoughts?

Sent from my SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Try reflashing just kernel, and clearing cache and davlik
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Just booted up man. Seems like everything is working fine so far. I had the hiccup at boot but its running now.

sent from my Captivate running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Can't figure out what is causing the hiccup but everything had been smooth other wise
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Yeah me neither. I just applied my theme and it hiccuped probably 20 times and then booted. No h on data anymore either when I had I before. Just 3G

sent from my Captivate running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have h. Package uses jl2 modem because it works well in my area. So the hiccups are not just on my phone. I like the performance of the kernel. Going to have to play more tomorrow to seed what its off with the package
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i like it too. i do have H come to found out. my impatience leads me to assumptions too fast. is this excaliburinhands kernel? all it needs is voodoo and i'd be totally happy with it. otherwise i really like it so far.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
xcal's kernel is a samsung kernel, and won't work with cm based roms.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No we can not use that. This Is from the latest cm7 nightly. They have implemented a couple things from the gb source I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
cool. thanks for confirming.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Turn off the phone, start on recovery, wipe Dalvik cache an reboot the phone. It will work after that. No need to reflash anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Thnikk:
Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Thanks. I will try doing that and see what happens. Should get better result since initially I think I didn't do the format.

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
just curious. has anyone found out what was causing fc's for tibu for some people?
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
The link for the rom is in op right?

Download from op?

Happy Easter everyone who does the Easter thing

[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Yeah it like 2am here now
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Happy Easter :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
No, titanium backup was updated, not the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Nice. Got everything running great now. Thanks for the help! Very much appreciated.

Know of anywhere to get signal bar .png wifi etc. ?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
looking to theme ?
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
yup yup! Already did a battery mod with the systemui.apk looks sweet!

Just want to do the rest of the signal bar area
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
The image files have to go into the systemui folder drawable-res in the theme
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Since I updated to rc6 everything running fast and smooth but my signal keeps fading in and out....

Strange cause I've never changed the modem and was getting really good reception on rc5c...

Re-flash the modem?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Rom package has a modem in it jl3 I think
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Yeah that's the one I've had good luck with but since the update it'll go from full to no service back and forth...nuisance.

Would flashing the modem affect anything?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Could not hurt
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
No need to clear anything right?

Just flash the modem?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Correct.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
What's the difference between the modems? Jl3 and jk3 work for me I can't tell the difference and jk4 will not get a signal.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Trial and error
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Different frequencies. Just stick with the one that works for you.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I dont get it, no matter how many times I clear and uninstall Swype and the installer, I cant get swype to work. It worked fine in RC5.

[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You deleting the swype lib as well?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It works for me. Are you rebooting after you install it?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
i am going to give continuum one more full day and then its back to miui for me. lol i miss it:D

@mcord.. I think I finally got it sorted out lol thank you for all of your help ..... cross your fingers:p
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Can anyone else verify to have tibu working who got fc's before?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It was an app issue, not a rom issue. Other people on other roms were getting the same issue, which they updated it to fix the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Prototype

How is battery treating you? Mind you this is light use
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Yeah, I am. I'm clearing both installer and app, force closing, rebooting, dl'ing and installing the installer, dl'ing the app(tried both versions), install the app, rebooted and when I try to use swype, it beeps has the blue trim at the edges. Eventually get the compatibility message

I honestly have battery life comparable to any other ROM I've tried. It does seem to go fast at first but levels off after 80 or so. I routinely get more than a day's worth.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
Same thing is happening to me. I noticed it does it when going from the lockscreen SMS notification to the messaging app...it's sporadic though.

I'm on RC6 with the included kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hey mcord. i had to go back to the original package last night. everytime i would have to reboot or turn my phone off it would do that hiccup thing about a million times and then it would boot up. sometimes it wouldn't even boot. then i would lose wifi and auto rotate. then wifi would work and it would take 10 minutes to reboot. it was really odd and i gave up.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have not rebooted much. Not sure what is causing it. Like I said, going to try to make a kernel package and see if that fixes it. I am getting nice battery with the kernel though
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Prototype

With the cm7 kernel did you create an entire rom package our just a flashable kernel?

I packaged a rom, replaced modules, lib files, and z image

I noticed the i9000 package had modules that were not in the cm7 package. Did you remove these? I am very happy with the performance of the kernel but there is something I am doing that us causing instability.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
A flashable kernel package. And I removed those.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thank you, that must be the cause

When I get in front of my pc I will find which I have to remove and try again. I am approaching 11hrs with 52% left
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Turns out I forgot to delete the files! XD

Just did it now...

I'm at almost 10 hours with 34% left.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
So you had the files in and have had no problems on boots?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Correct. Boots without looping.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Do you mind posting a screen shot of your system/ module folder
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Any chance I can get that kernel file??

Had a charging/sleep death for the first time last night. That cannot happen.

Its it kernel based problem?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thank you deleted extra modules I had rebooted, all apears fixed
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yeah it seemed to suck battery a lot less. i wanna use the kernel but i need to be able to turn my phone off and on every once in awhile and still have wifi work ya know. if you do get a kernel package ready let me know and i'll test it out because i really wanna stick with that kernel. i liked it a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Task look at prototypes screen shot. Delete any file from the system/module that does not match from my rom package. I did it on my phone using root explorer and it appears to have fixed the issue
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
awesome. just saw the pics. doing it know.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have booted a couple times. I had one boot animation blip but nothing like before
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yep. that totally fixed it. wifi, auto rotate working, no hiccup at boot. nice find and fix. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Which kernel are you modifying?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thank prototype he helped me
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hit the thanks button at the same time i hit it on you.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The CM7 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Looks like good progress being made:-)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
We are not modifying, just using
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Was in a hurry, did't pay attention to what was said lol.

Now I need to make jl2 modem zip since the one on sourceforge is incorrect...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have jl2, not that it is hard to put together
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah I know, just annyoing to edit the file and plug in my cable, etc. Too lazy...
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Pretty amazing and I can hardly bear to wait until some of the minor problems are resolved! Got the rom running but in the interest of time I am going back to Cognition 4.2.1.

I tried the KB1 modem but got no service, I looked over the thread but don't recall any specific steps to resolve that.

I'll give this another shot next weekend, hopefully things change!
[Captivate Android Development] alec5216:
Ugh. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do all of that :( Oh well, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] alec5216:
@mossination

Just a heads up! The OP link that says it's Beta 5 goes to aiofix.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Honestly...just flash it. If it doesn't work then do the format cache, data, system. I did this on my wife's phone and only needed to flash the captivate kernel. Her modem stayed.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yes it is a zip that fixes some problems in beta five, I'm kind of too busy to name em so ill post em as soon as I can.

Ok nvm it fixes SD mount, themes and white on white text(you have to go to settings/program/ manage select app and combatibility) but its still beta 5 and not 6
[Captivate Android Development] alec5216:
Ok. Sounds good!

Alright, I'll try it tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] franksa81:
is this rom as stable as cm7??
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
i know the FAQ says the battery life is bad, but how bad is it? 6-8 hours? or 10+?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I just installed beta 6, everything worked perfect after installing kang kernel and JL3 and couple of reboots, the only thing it after every reboot it is asking me again to add google account...any idea???

Edit: nvm I got it working and this is an excellent ROM !!! looking forward to more stable updates

BTW how to access music on external sd card and can I setup TiBu backup location to external SD card?? thank you..
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Hey guys, I just finished installing beta 6. Every time I restart my phone, I have to redo all the changes to the settings I made. I keep getting the "welcome to sgh-i897...touch the android to begin" screen. Also, I read on here when changing the language to English, sometimes you need to restart it to take full effect on the phone-- since most of the notification pull down options are still in Chinese. I do that, but they still don't change to English. Does anyone know what's going on? Btw I am using kang/jl3 combo.
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Could you mind sharing how you got it working?
[Captivate Android Development] Sagui:
I had the same symptoms on CM7 and after a little looking around on my phone I noticed it was probably because the phone had 0kb internal storage. I did a wipe/factory reset and all was well (after restoring all the apps etc.). Hope the same works for you!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Looks like there won't be a beta 7 as they are going to wait for the official miui beta for the i9000.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
For those with music on your ext sd, use power amp. If can view the emmc folder and play music.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Since there is no Q&A thread I would have to ask this here. Has anyone gotten Engadget to work? I get FC after FC even after reinstalling and changing kernels to see if that would help. I had issues with AB Rio and it works after changing the kernel to Trident but still no Engadget. I am assuming this is an isolated case but it is worth asking.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Sorry... But...

I hate asking questions, but I was wondering. How good is this rom? I love the way miui is but I'm also afraid it's going to be worse on battery life than a normal 2.2 Serendipity Rom.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Battery will be worse. If that is your main concern hold off
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Same here, did it work for you on cm7? Maybe the app does not work on 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Ugh, swype stopped working...
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yeah, it worked fine on CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If you want I can post in about 30 away from pc
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Nah, I will just make one later, my phone needs to be charged so i will just make it then. But thanks anyway!
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Newbie question...Where can I find the cm7 kernel? If there is better battery life; I'm in!! Would you mind helping out? Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
We are pulling it from the nightly rom along with needed files. I created a rom package with it but since have discovered a couple files I neglected to take out. I think it is doing better on battery. If interested I could modify my package or create a kernel package, but the kernel package would require you use root explorer to delete some files after flag from your system/module

In either case, I do not have enough battery to test either before sending it over
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
I've got root explorer so that wouldn't be a problem.

I'm interested in just the kernel...miui is running really well fit ne as of right now except for the charging sleep death that occurred today...

):

Any experience with the escapist kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
can we get a new camera app, mine literally freezes for 10 seconds n between shots
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No, atleast not the most recent

I will package one unless, profit wants to post his
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You can pull the android one from an older release
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
That'd be great! Patiently waiting. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Profit? Lol.

The kernel zip broke the auto rotate. So you would have to replace the lib files and edit the module file.

I'm thinking of adding it to the next update to the rom. So you should just wait until then.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
all the same version?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Take a screen shot of your system/module folder
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I suck with swype but I love it
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah I love swype, but I hate having to install it everytime and then it will stop working after a random reboot. So I'm going to stick with the default keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Where can I find the original kernel that's running from rc6??
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Linked in op kang kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
When you flash you only want

Tun.ko

Cifs.ko

Bcm4329.ko

Delete the others and reboot

I will link a kernel package shortly
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
links to his website..kinda confused on which one to download cause the phone says I 9000...Do I download that the one or for captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Backup swype using miui backup and restore, works everytime for me
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Will auto-rotate work?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Works for me

Kang kernel dl link

http://kang.project-voodoo.org/f/CM7/Captivate/CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110409_17_update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Flash...Then delete the module folder files...then reboot?

Or delete the files first then flash?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
attached kernel

you know may be easier to delete the other files first

then power down

flash kernel

wipe cache and davlik

boot

please note there is no oc no uv no bln

I am at 13+ hours with 2 hr screen time and I have 26% battery left. this is my first power cycle as well so I hope it will improve more
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Would I be able to get those files back by flashing kang kernel that you linked earlier? That's the kernel that miui runs stock correct?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes they are in the package to flash the kernel
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Everything went well thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
I just flashed this kernel....ill report back tomorrow about the battery. i was at 4% after flash :eek:

One question, when I check my work email I am unable to download a .pdf file. I can get any other attachments except pdf. I do have adobe pdf reader installed and i have had this issue since coming to miui. Anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have not tried a pdf but maybe use an app like documents to go
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Everything working including rotation?
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
No auto rotation for me will try a reboot and see.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Actually no... That sucks.

Maybe a reboot will fix it??
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Try power down with rotation enabled then on again. If not I can post files needed to get back
