I apologize for asking stupid questions, but I couldn't find answers:

I am currently on Serendipity in which I love, but it randomly turns my phone off causing me to miss calls constantly. In my quest for something new, nice looking and speedy, this was my first

choice. Alright, so I've not got much experience flashing, but I understand how to flash a basic rom or take phone to stock using odin, however I have no clue how to do a multi file rom!

I went searching on the OP and all guides mention a speedmod kernel in which is gone? I have everything downloaded, but what do I do beyond this? Is it the same minus the kernel or what? I can easily follow the video posted but if you could maybe provide file names for RC5 that would be equivalent to the beta?

I greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance :)

PS, I guess I'm just curious if this has the cool gingerbread screen off animation?
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
It has the cool screen off animation. It isnt too bad to install just follow video to the T. Post has all the files you need in OP. There are three files. Just download have odin ready and pay attention.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Im not getting what you are asking. Are you asking for step by step instructions on how to install this rom, if so its in the OP.

Yes this has gingerbread animations.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Did a nandroid backup, downloaded the rc5b zip, in recovery formatted cache and system. Installed the zip and here I sit.

[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
YES it does have the cool screen off. its really easy to flash this. if youre coming from stock then get into download mode and flash the speedmod kernel with odin. it will say pass. do a battery pull. now get into recovery. install the efs backup zip. battery pull again. get back into download mode and flash the captivate initial kernel with odin. it will say pass. do another battery pull. get into recovery. go to mounts and storage and format system, data, cache. install miui rc5(rc5b is out too). good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] iRetard:
Im asking what files are which? I watch the video and it says to put speedmod on using odin. The link he shows is gone now. Basically I just need to know which zip I use in the odin step since speedmod is gone. And woo on the animation ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Speedmod link is in the OP

AND INSTALL AND SETUP RC2 BEFORE YOU INSTALL RC5

Need to mention a reboot brought back external SD and the H icon instead of 3g.

It seems that I can't download or delete anything from the market. Whenever I do, the download bar stays at 100% forever and nothing happens. I can usually cancel the download, but the download status is staying in the notification bar and wont go away. I've tried rebooting, flashing from rc5 to rc5b and it's still there. Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
is going to rc2 really necessary still. i just had to flash back to stock because of that update tae put up earlier (no big deal) and went straight to rc5b no problem. just wondering if im getting lucky or something.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Go into download application and select use mobile network.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I dont flash RC2 either when i go back to stock since it was only a problem when we forgot to add the efs.backup in the RC3 captivate package, put some people feel more comfortable making sure.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
You need to go into downloads > select the download > the select allow mobile networks for downloads.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I recommended flashing rc2 unless you know how to get your efs back, I just highly highly recommended it for new users so that its a 100% guarantee
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
sweet, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
Worked. In the previous version of rc5, that option wasnt there. Prolly just me
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Its been there since the rom was first released.
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
Any movie player that plays avi as well as stock? Anyone has the stock version working?

im in.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
My home button doesn't work now. Boo.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
So I flashed rc5b earlier. Is all the orange supposed to be gone? Because its still here. I actually like it. But just wondering if I downloaded the right one.

[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Reflash kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yes the theme is still orange.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
If its in a zip, you can flash it such as the one in the first page.

Read the faq on the first page, I think it's in the third post.

Has anyone tried out beta 6 yet?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Downloading now, will report once flashed

[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Nevermind. I was looking in the wrong place for the file.
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
This looks so nice. I really like the UI of this ROM. I am hesitant to give it a shot as it is a little more involved than what I am used too. I am also getting great battery life with my current setup and have no complaints, but I check this post all of the time to see the updates. Great work so far on this and I am looking forward to future updates.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
where is the changelog for beta 6? what does it improve? it's not in the original thread yet

EDIT: never mind I saw the post a few posts before mine :)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
ARGH, gambled and lost..

so what are we doing if we're stuck at the cyanogenmod splash?

format data, system, catch?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Go into Mount and Storage

Select:

Format Data

Format System

Format Cache

Reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
sweet thanks, just did that

i formatted before installing the update and it seems to work fine now...
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
man, beta 6 is doing some weird stuff

So far:

- setup wizard crashes before complete

- tries to call....somebody?

- tries to play song on it's own (a song apparently it's not able to play)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
update:

reflash fixes those issues, flashed JK4 and kang BEFORE letting MIUI boot up this time.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I flashed beta 6 everything is working perfectly fine. And very fast as well.

However mine got stuck at the Galaxy S CM7 logo as well, but just did all the formatting and everything was perfect.

Super fast and snappy so far though.

Also dont know if y'all saw this from the i9000 thread but thought I would post it again:

UPDATE 22/03/11:

Important Announcement:

I have spoken to Kenia and will speak to jblanc, but as the official MIUI Port has started by MIUI.cn, we will only release Beta 6 as a final stage.

This does not mean we will stop development, but there will not be any further quick updates as most of the issues have been ironed out EXCEPT External SD, which we are hoping the official team can fix.

We'll be keeping track of the official port and post it here etc, customizing it for XDA'ers, but for now it seems unreasonable for us to do something that the official devs are working on.

This is not finalized yet, but i thought i'd let you all know anyway. We are also very busy and cannot keep track all the time, but we will keep things going and not ditch this like the previous devs . We've all come a long way with this project and it hasn't even been that long! Some astonishing work by my team mates.

Stay tuned anyway, Beta 6 will be out but NO external SD fix. Original Post.
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
Seems beta 6 is working well. A little laggy initially right now, which is similar to beta 5, and I am sure it will go away.

I can't say much for stability as I have yet to use it very long.

Looking forward to beta 7, where iirc external SD is being fixed (as it was a kernel issue).

Alternatively the quick fix is to symlink /emmc (i think) to the directory the sd card is supposed to be in.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
also cant wait for external sd to work. (this is the main reason im not running this or cm7 right now)

also might i suggest uploading a folder that contains all the files needed to make things simpler. (odin 1.7, speedmod, intial.tar, etc....)
[Captivate Android Development] danimmal:
is anyone elses still GT-I9000 format? when i flased beta 5 yesterday it was normal but after i flashed beta 6 today, my buttons are all screwed up. any help?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
The first person to find out they have released beta 7, can you please post it on this thread with the link, thank you :D
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
is it just me or do videos only record in 480x720?

eh, didn't work
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
Man...im on RC5b now and this is one of the most goddamn impressive things ive ever seen on a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
What package did you use when you flashed RC5B
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
difference?
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
i used the package prototype posted a few pages back
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
i would try reflashing the package and make sure to formate system/cache before. The kernel would be the only thing that makes your home button not work from what i know.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
got my home button working, now my back button isnt working. haha, this rom is so give and take.

forceclose on bluetooth

Hey I keep getting a forceclose whenever my cars stereo bluetooth trys to access my phones address book, any suggestions. I just flashed this rom 3 days ago

Can not duplicate, my bluetooth works well with ford sync
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
cant duplicate either, works awesome with Lexus sync. i had some issues a while back but rebooting once took care of it. maybe try that.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Sorry guys but sourceforge isn't working, ill upload a mirror of the rc5-b file to mediafire.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
so does call recording actually work on this? i know how to use it and all that but whenever i go to listen to it, it's just a blank recording with no sound.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Read somewhere in General Section about the Gingerbread Source Code being officially released by Samsung..

What does this mean for the progress on MIUI?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hopefully fixes for the CM7 bugs like battery drain and other issues.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Do you have a twitter account? Would be alot more convenient for you and everyone else if you could announce on twitter what updates and bugs, or whatever you want to say about the MIUI ROM on there.

Just my two cents.. I know alot of people dont want to get on the bandwagon
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
That would definitely be a plus!
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yeah I was going to make a twitter account for this rom but had to do other things for it first. Thanks for reminding me lol

@moss Kenia posted the 3D fix, want me to make a RC5c package with the the 3D gallery also?

oh crap I was just about to update to RC5b.. Guess I will wait now

btw can someone post a phone download friendly link? Or which link is download friendly that I am missing>?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Godamn theirs an update like every 10 hours lol; yeah go ahead.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Just a question, why do you guys use multiupload? Theirs a waiting time plus it messes up alot, Mediafire seems to be a greater file hosting site, no waiting times and what not. Just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
after updating to RC5-b, is anyone else having some issues with the home and the back buttons ? I have to press the home or the back button several times to activate it.

nm - I figured out why. It was my phone shield.

Prototype, is there a way I can disable the debugging icon?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You would need a mod or edit a theme and make the debugging icon a blank image.
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
Should benchmarking apps like smartbench and neocore be showing less than before fix for gpu. I first got 2963 then afterwards 2565 which is a big difference. It seems slower also when watching the test. What kernel is included with the new upload with fixes?

XDA presents....Captivate S4G
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Are you using B or C?

Latest Kang kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
So i am having a problwm downloading apps from the market i click download but they just sit there and it says downloading but doesnt do anything
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Go into the Download app. Hit the menu button and select, "Download using Mobile Data". Reboot phone.
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
I flashed the fix from i9000 forum while on 5B.

Downloading C now to see if it makes a difference!

XDA presents....Captivate S4G
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I agree! Seems that with every new update, so many different members are re-packaging different versions, and seems like there are more bugs.

I am still on RC3C with old MMS.apk and alot of other stuff. Everything is working with no issues at all! (Obviously battery drain, but can still get through a day of heavy usage)

Only way I am updating now is if it is a significant increase in performance/reliability.
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Does anyone know if R5c will fix the SD card problem? My music and pictures wont show up but when I go to my files, they're there...

Also, battery life... my battery wont charge completely.. it goes to 95percent and stops..
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Question! Sorry if this has been covered before.

When making an outgoing call, the phone vibrates once there is a successful connection.

I like this feature on the MIUI ROM, and was just wondering if they removed it in the newer version, or a way to turn it On and Off.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
This feature is part of the MIUI ROM.

Although, some kernels will allow you to charge to 100. This is covered in the FAQ as well. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
There are currently no sd card issues. Might want to reflash the rom. Also, are files on an internel or external sd card?

And that is a feature to keep the battery healthy and from overheating. Once it gets to around 96% you can unplug it.
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Thank you. I didn't see it
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Thanks. Some music is on the external and some on the internal, yet both wont show up.. I've reflashed about 5 times :(
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:

Yeah i know.

Now i see how the devs in CynogenMod thread feel.. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
There is nothing about the SD card problem...
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
The website is gonna have everything (faqs,how to install, issues, downloads,etc..) so their wont be as many questions as their are now soon. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Then that would mean that I wasn't reffering to your post then. :)

Removing SD card and replacing it didn't fix your problem?

Reflash the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
I wasn't assuming.. I've tried that also :-\ I'm about to flash R5c and see if that helps maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Also, try going into the gallery and select rescan SD card and refresh in the music app.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
i found out that going from RC2 to RC5 causes more problems than anything. i flashed RC5 after restoring and i didn't encounter a couple of problems that i had in the past (home/back button not working, no data, apps missing)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Website: www.miuicaptivate.weebly.com (not completely finished)
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
I've done all that too..ive even tried mounting in recovery and it says sd-ext doesn't exist but when I try renaming my external SD card it says it already exist...
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Did you flash from stock 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Yes. Also it works on other roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Go back to stock, flash a 2.2 rom, boot it up, flash efsbackup, odin the cm7 kernel, and then format and flash the miui.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Also. When I go to file explorer on miui it says there is no music or pictures in the progresa bar but when I click the Sd Card tab, everything is there..
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Ill try when i get home. I dont have my usb with me. But I guarantee I've already done this.. over and over again...
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Go into File Explorer, SD card, look for external_sd, is there a placeholder file in their?
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Ok so I just downloaded a random song from the internet (mediafire) and it shows up! Wtf?!
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
I'm sorry. I'm not sure what a placeholder file is.. but I moved the song I downloaded from the download folder to my music folder and it doesn't show up anymore. .. sorry to bother you with all this mess
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
So I moved the song from the music folder to the download folder and it works again.. do I need to move all my music?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
What's in the external_sd folder?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Try this

Go to miui gallery

Menu

Re scan sd
[Captivate Android Development] kellikayotic:
Some of my music.. and that's pretty much it.. but some music is on the internal too in the music folder and when I move it from the music folder to just the internal ad card it works..

Yes it does

[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
What kernel are you guys liking the most?? Good battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Check inside your folder and see if you have a ".nomedia" file there.

If there is, that will prevent apps from seeing your media files located there.

Delete it, reboot, and see if your music/pictures show up.

I had RC3 installed, and just flashed RC5 over that (only wiped the Cache). Two issues:

1) Auto-rotation still not working. Something I should do or are other people experiencing this?

2) Battery will only charge to 95% (this also happened on RC3 as well) even on an overnight charge, I would wake up and it wouldnt go higher than 95%

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] iRetard:
Ah! I feel stupid now. I downloaded the others, but none had the SpeedMod. I came back today and read this, went back and clicked the only one I hadn't downloaded, it was it :p

I was going off of the forum setup from the tutorial video, which had it clearly marked SpeedMod or something.

Either way, I apologize for wasting your time and such, thanks for the help though :)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
1. Reflash the kernel

2. The percentage wont go to 100% , if the number wont go any higher then it is fully charged
