If I reflash the kernel with ODIN, will it affect my CM7 and MIUI roms? And I understand the Javelin kernel is the best for battery life on MIUI. Is there any ideal kernel for this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Don't reflash the "initial kernel" reflash the kang kernel, go to the first post for the link to the kang website and download the latest one and flash it, or you can just flash javelin, I believe platypus is a very popular one also.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
So "maxthon" wants to sponsor us and all we have to do is replace the stock browser with there browser with every new release, I don't know how to do that and idk if any of you do but the benefit is that we can have our own browser(custom skins,,links,etc...) and to have our link on their website, idk if its worth it
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
is their browser in .apk format?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You can get one from their website.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Its on the market
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Changing the brest browser in the tom package its easy enough but I have never used their browser
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's not bad. I barely use the browser so I wouldn't care.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Played with it for a couple, it is ok. Not sure if I like it better than stock miui. More features in their browser but appears choppy.

As long as stock browser is in package I would have no issue but I would be against only including this browser
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I don't think they would make us get rid of the stock browser, I just want to make sure that the people who usually make the packages for this rom wouldn't mind putting the maxthon browser in there. I was thinking we would give it a try and if we didn't like it then id say no to them.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
The default browser has black img and black text.

In the browser menu > windows.

[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
just tried the browser and its kinda weird. cant seem to get used to it. yet... at least...
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
oh wow just noticed that as well. No way to know what you are clicking on at all other than hopefully the favicon showing up.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I just use dolphin browser to gain the use of tabs and everything looks nice.

[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Alright I'll agree to it, if there are any problems we have with it then ill cancel it.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Just keep in mind, if they are sponsoring it, and you get a TON more users downloading this rom, you HAVE to support their issues and fix their problems.

I may be wrong, but from what I get right now, all you are really doing is just converting things over from the i9000 package to being i897. This will be MUCH more than just converting things, and more of a "fix this" it wont work on my phone, etc..

Also make sure you CAN cancel it once you agree to it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Is there an actual agreement they are looking to have agreed to?
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Hey does anybody know what the best kernel is to use with this rom? I checked out the Roms on the 1st post they are all zip files, would just load these up onto my enternal memory card, go into recovery mode and flash that kernel, or is there something else that im missing?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Bilboa/kang is probably the most stable

Platypus its more features rich.

Once running the rom kernels are installed by flashing in clockwork. Clear cache and davlik cache after flash then boot
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
thanks hey will this fix the black out screen when dialing a phone number?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
More details please
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
sure..everytime i try to dial a number once i press the "call" button my screen goes black not allowing me to do anything, i can here the person talking but I can't push any buttons
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Maybe we should wait a while then, I don't more than I can handle. I actually want to say no to them but thought this rom could use more popularity.

It seems fishy because the guy just pm's me and asks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Make call

Screen goes black

Hold phone up to face

Hit power while against face

Take phone away from face

Should work going forward
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Also? the Platapus rom won't go pass the MIUI android developers screen once flashed, it just keeps blinking periodically as if its attempting to start but then nothing at all.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
They are trying to pump up their browser.

He probably pmd every dev out there
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Its a kernel not a rom, it should boot after a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Your right it worked...hmmm only one other thing. Whenever I try to add my bluetooth headset. I get a forceclose when ever my bluetooth device is requesting permission to access my contacts. any tips?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I do not have this issue, but I have read others report similar.

Is this just happening now, or since you installed miui? What type of bluetooth device?

Please confirm wifi is working for you
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yeah the reason Im buying it is because their sponsoring the i9000 version, oh well this roms not even fully stable yet so theirs really no point.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
well funny thing is that i don't get this problem when using my Blue Ant bluetooth headset, The only time it happens is when i get in my car. I have a stereo with bluetooth built in and whenever i pair the my cars stereo with the phone i get a forceclose whenever the car stereo is requesting permission to access my phone's contact list
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I use ford sync
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Browser tab switcher window black text:

Long press on the items to read them.

Or long press home then long press Browser and choose compatilbilty.

Edit: maybe the compatibility is an i9000 thing.

Just long press/hold and move your finger off the item to read.

does yours work?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No it us a miui thing ;)
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
This has been happening ever since i installed miui. I even uninstalled miui, went back and flashed serendipity and I had no problems connecting to my cars bluetooth, no forceclose. I then went back to miui and the issue started again, my wifi works great with this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I can't get the Mobil hotspot to work on Rc5-C. It wont even tether through USB. Is anyone else having problems and have they fixed it? Any help would be appreciated, I didn't see anything on this topic in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ginger bread has different bluetooth drivers. Could be a compatibility issue
[Captivate Android Development] KreacherComfort:
Anyone else having issues with the accellerometer? Mine is acting up in every game over played and it's only been acting up on MIUI.

[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
anybody know where MIUI stores recorded calls?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am not sure if it works but in the miui folder on your sd
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
Thanks ...yeah, it doesn't work. So much for that prank call.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yep, seems to be proximity sensor is a bit glitchy. If you're like me, and rarely get on the phone without bluetooth, you could turn it off.
[Captivate Android Development] mrbloog:
It seems for something that the GPU is supposed to be fixed, I'm still getting the green shade over my screen when it hasn't been touched for a while. Which I'm guessing is suppose to be a dim type shade.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I amhappy to saythat I am backing miui again! Went to continuum v4 cause I love the matted blue theme, butmissed miui too much. So far its up and running fine and I have no complaints. One weird issue. When I was getting everything set up my apps that I Jason continuum tried to automatically download and install. Alot of them did others failed. Is this a new feature? It was weird because I did go back to stock and master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
your issue isnt with gpu. its with your voodoo color settings in the voodoo app. have you messed with them at all. it seems to happen when punchy selection is chosen. you can reset everything back to default settings and you wont have that happen to you anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
This may be old already but gb source code released for i9000 today.

Any benefits we should see out of this like camera maybe?

Only thing the community can do is wait for the developers to post an update.

I am flash back to miui sometime tonight those guys over there in the cm7 thread are a bunch of douche bags

Edit I am going to play some battle field bad company 2 first
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
wurd! 10char
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
This ROM is so fly. I can only imagine what it will be like when it's rock-solid stable.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Having a interesting thing I haven't seen posted before. Running RC5C, from stock, to RC2. With the email client, the items marked "read" have a black background, with black text. I don't have any themes installed.

Other wise RC5c is running great for me. I'm LOVIN' the progress being made with this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I just dropped this rom...been working with it for a few days now....way too unstable and buggy. Its cool to use if you have a spare phone that you don't mind messing up, but I would wait until the official release if and whenever that shows up.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
When will we get 720p recording ?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
did you go to settings/programs/manage applications find the email app and turn on compatibility mode?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
thats weird. i have everything working awesome on this rom. might wanna try reflashing and reading the FAQ
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Needs a TON of work, very buggy and unstable...don't install unless you have a spare phone you don't mind messing up.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Perfect! Thanks! It was really annoying to have that and for the life of me i couldn't figure out how to change it. I didnt have it on RC3c, but as soon as I went to RC5 it did it
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've been running Miui since RC2, as my daily driver, and have very little issues at all, no stability issues. Especially with the later releases
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
no problem. ive been running this rom since rc1 and it just keeps getting better. daily driving this thing all day long. i love it.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
I'm running this rom on my one and only captivate. the only problem is battery drain. no other issues at all.

And flashing a new rom won't mess up your phone if you follow the instruction well... NOM ;

[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Okay I have been away for awhile you flashed the update today and this happened

Dont know if its me but, for all my downloaded themes, I can only get the applications icons to work. Lockscreen/notification bar/everything else reverts to default.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Really, I mean plenty tried to help but I have been running this on my only phone for a long time. Your post its just straight bs
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
+1....and a worthless post at that.

Btw, mcord, love the dialer you put together...using it along with the various blue elements and the colorful settings icons.

Gosh, I hope we get some dev on the capacitive buttons lights...Keep The Lights On just won't work.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thanks

Have you tried escapist kernel?

I am not sure but it may keep the lights on
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I might have...seems like I tried one that kept the lights on even with the phone locked. I'll check it out, but I always find a reason to go back to kang.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Kang wrote a timer in the kernel to turn off the lights after a few seconds. Without changing it in the kernel, you can't keep the lights on.

In my kernel, I didn't incorporate it, as I like the lights to stay on.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yep, liking the implementation very much. Gonna use it today and see how it goes. I like you post of this kernel and stated dedication to making it better through community feedback. I'll let you know of any issues I run in to. Thanks very much for your work.

And, mccord, thanks again for all the help you provide so many all over the Captivate forums. I had not tried this kernel yet. :D

--Edit--

It's such a minor drain on battery that it's worth it to me...we went through this analysis with GuardianBob after he took up the cause on 2.2 I9000 ROMs. His little app worked nicely but has issues with a couple of commands that I know little about.

Preview of MIUI UI Dark Theme (still a work in progress)

Also not made by me, made by the actual MIUI Devs.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Nice

What did you do to change the color inside settings? Not the outside edge but the internal block
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I didn't make it, it was made by the MIUI Devs.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Very nice...I like dark themes. For me, button and title lettering needs work to be more noticable/readable. And, where are all the talented themers on Battery Mods??? I would love to have one like the one from VA Green Theme, but blue. :D
[Captivate Android Development] DiscipleDOC:
Yep! That helped me out too! ;)

Platypus ROM really buggy!

Hey, guys I flashed that Platypus Kernal and now it's really really hard to get the phone to reboot, I have to totally wipe the phone and reset in order to get it to reboot, I know its a kernal issue, any other suggestions on whats a good kernel to use on this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
So after your flashed the kernel, it never rebooted? Did you wipe the dalvik cache in recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Kang, escapist

I am not sure I follow your issue. I am using platypus and although I have not rebooted much I did apply a theme.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
yep did all that 3 times, lol, battery pull and the works...lol it just kept blinking the miue pink flag screen. I finally got it to work but it is a pain.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Yeah see thats it, whenever i try to apply a theme, it will apply the theme then go into reboot mode, and then it just sits on the miui screen blinking everynow and then but never reboots. Is it that im not giving it enough time because yesterday i just sat the phone down and came back about 25 mins later and it was still blinking....lol!!! I didn't have this trouble until i flashed that patypus kernel. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I had issues with that kernel until I.built I full rom package with the kernel and appropriate lib and sensors and flashed everything.

I am not sure what the cause may be. Kangs appears to be the best most stable option.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
where can i get this kang kernal from, and im glad to see it's not just me with this issue
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
http://kang.project-voodoo.org/
[Captivate Android Development] krypticos:
Anyone ???
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Depends on usage patterns

10-18 hours
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
With quite a heavy use of music, videos, and games my captivate gave me about 24 hours.

[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yo prototype. where can i get a hold of that MIUI UI Dark theme at?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It was only for the private beta testers. It might be out this Friday or next Friday.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I stopoped fighting battry life issues when flashing these roms. The stock rom was built to extend the battery life so it was a rom for the masses. Whenever you flash a non-stock rom, you have to remember it's built for speed and performance so you are going to have to sacrifice battery life. I just went out on Ebay and purchased an extended bettery for mine, cost about 50.00 now I can go about 48 hours without charging and thats with heavy usage gaming and so on.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
I am trying to find some good themes for this thing now. I used the theme manager but the problem is 99% of those are in japanese or something.

I downloaded an iPhone theme, but when I apply it, it doesn't let the settings work. Gets FC's.

Where are some good themes at that work with this build?
[Captivate Android Development] DiscipleDOC:
The best thing to do is cook your own theme. It's easy to do, and you'll appreciate it more. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
ok, so after flashing the kernel from OP and jk4-Cm7 i am getting "service", but no data.....checked to make sure data was on in the settings and errrthing

i think my phone is extra sensitive because cyanogenmod 7 fried my modem somehow.....ever since i installed that thing it's never been the same
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:

[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Did you try using the jl3 modem with the kernel I posted? Lol it so does everything seem to be working?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
yeah i did try JL3 when i was using the old kernel that was posted earlier to no avail, so i think it was a kernel issue not modem or rom

i've always had good luck with JK4 though, so i'll stick with it (especially since i dont wanna break anything that was fixed)

everything is A+ now

btw,

THIS IS AWESOME
[Captivate Android Development] tmhung:
It 's so smooth on my cap ^^
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
I can't believe how fast this is

Btw, miui music wont find my music files...anyone else experience this?
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
It dont because apps do not detect sd card :( as said - yhis is beta...
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
Strange that I can view SD card files through explorer....I knew something had to give :(
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
Might be wrong something with media scanner service...
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
It is. Media scanner doesn't work, so any MIUI apps won't be able to see files like music, videos, or pictures. In the i9000 thread, one of the developers said he's pretty much got that fixed, so in the next build that will be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
From what I've heard/read right now only MIUI apps having the SD failure. People have reported success downloading other music apps from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] PeteSeiler2010:
I was unable assign a ringtone or notification tone, it would only offer silent. Other than that, I am liking this. I know the media scanner will resolve that issue, so its worth waiting for.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I dont think the ringtones or notifications are working yet but they should be in the next beta release.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think I read something about changing ring tones in the theme manager, over on the i9000 thread

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
I believe I heard that using a 3rd party ringtone provider like zedge from the market works as well. I have not tried this but Im pretty sure I read that somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
When updates come out will we find them on this thread? or the i9000 thread?

And we would just flash them on top then reflash the captivate modem and kernel?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Ill update this as soon as I can when they release a new beta but of course they'll be on the i9000 thread first so you can keep an eye on that if you want.

I think so just delete the data and cache and stuff before you flash over like you did when installing.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Ya thats what I thought, but also would we need to reflash the captivate stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
After installing a new beta yes I'm sure you'll have to flash a captivate cm7 modem and kernel over again.
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
Installed - but why no PowerVR drivers included inside? So low 3D perfomance...
