The escapist kernel...and the modem keeps changing. i LIKE JK4 in my area but the results seem to vary between people when i call. some say clear, some say im in a tunnel and it varies day to day.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Are you on rc1 or rc2?
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
Now, rc1 Just to get a feel of it. After I was comfortable I was going to go with I9000RC2. I am comfortable... My mobile brick always bounces back :).
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I'm using TheEscapist 4.2 and JK4. I have yet to do a full test, but I'm running RC2 and things are going well so far.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Downloading RC2 now.
[Captivate Android Development] msm903:
Good Day?

Can I jusr use the MIUI RC2 for the I9000 and swap the Kernel for a Captivate friendly one? or does there need ot be a few more additions?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I'm on the captivate rc1 and autorate never worked for me since I flashed. I replaced the files last night, did permissions. No rotate, went to recovery reflashed javelin. Nothing still. Today I just replaced files and did permissions, nothing. Do I need to reboot? That didn't do anything the first time.

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Not unless u want auto rotate to work. See the qa on post 3 to see how. Speaking to auto rotate how does it work after making changes on the i9000 version?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Your better off using the rc1 in the OP cuz the rc2 testing is still going on unless you wanna try it for yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
If you want autorotate you need to replace lib files.

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
If u keep rebooting, fully power down and turn on. It should work eventually. But not on every boot
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
If ur making a cappy version don't forget to change permissions on the libs. I dunno how to do so on a pc
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Just made a captivate friendly zip with new kernel and fixes. testing now.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
If yours fully works can you tell me everything you did exactly cuz ive been trying to get mine to work for a while but if yours works then we can just use yours lol
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Just intalled. booting up now to make sure everything works.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
hey does anyone know if i can take the bootanimation from the i9000 version and paste it in the captivate media file to get it to work fine?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have been holding off but I guess I am going to give RC2 a go, flash for the sake of flashing
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Theres a file for the bootanimation in the rc2 zip so replacing that should work but im not sure.

Also I managed to get everything working except the auto rotation, can someone explain to me exactly how to change permissions. I have already replaced the files.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Working good on bootup.

I used my last package and just updated the kernel and efs and a few other things i cant think of the name.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
if you are using root explorer long click on the file and go to permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
boot animation is stored in the system/media

bootanimation.zip

I would presume one could just copy the file in the I9000 version and past it over the existing bootanimation and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yes this method works.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
hey before i reboot can someone check the permissions on the boot animation.zip so i know if i have to change it. you can just give it in this format:

xxx

xxx

xxx

x's are checks

o's are unchecked

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
every system app will be

xx

x

x
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
even tho its a .zip and not a lib file?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yes i checked it to make sure before i posted it.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I have the zip with the modem and kernel and replaced files uploaded, do you guys still want the link and can change the permissions yourself. Unless tae already has autorotation fixed with his pack.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Uploading RC2 Captivate zip now. ​
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Don't change permissions, not needed

Atleast I have have before on other roms

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
ya. worked fine w/o touching the persmissions
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I changed the libs and permissions, but i have to re do it. I didnt plug my laptop in and it went dead and unfortunately i lost my work, will be up in about 10 mins.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
which bootanimation did you use, the one with the snow or whatever?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
i replaced the snow one with the one from the i9000 thats blue and it says "miui android" with the moving status bar under it
[Captivate Android Development] MAMBO04:
@mossination, i'll soon be updating our SF page with all variants' MIUI builds, so i'll add the captivate tailored builds here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/miui9000devs/ whenever you post them.

Cheers :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Just a fyi you can change boot animation in theme manager, there are a bunch of options

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Isn't that the boot animation already on RC2
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yeah its already on rc2
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Thank you and thank you for all your work :D
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
RC2 Build

Everything works except autorotation, the files have been replaced all you need to do is change permissions

http://www.mediafire.com/?l3ch9c4l956d6e0

Comes with JK3 kernel and Javelin kernel

To get wifi working just reflash javelin kernel.

Edit: only tested on mine so not sure if it works but it should, also if tae's zip has autorotation working then just use that.
[Captivate Android Development] MAMBO04:
Thank you mate :) I'll upload RC2 to SF in 10 minutes, you can add the SF link to OP if you wish. Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Does anyone have the link to odin 1.7
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The permissions will be correct since your flashing it instead of adding it through a file manger app. If the permissions were incorrect, you would just get a bootloop.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's attached on the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186

odin 1.7 firmware installer
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I posted the rc2 zip a few posts back without autorotation working if anyone wants to test
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Nevermind, i was stuck in a bootloop but managed to force it to go into recovery after about 10 battery pulls. up and running again.
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Is this still a beta release? I'm sorry I cannot tell! For those of you who are using it, is this ROM close to being a daily driver? :o
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
aside from auto-rotate working sometimes (others may have it completely working by now idk) and ur computer not being able to recognize an ext sd, its GREAT.

one deal breaker tho

it doesn't have...

android 2.3 zombie art when clicking on android version

lol
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Got auto rotate working. uploading zip now. if you would like to test please PM me.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The autorotate thing is strange... however I'm not sure if it's a problem specific to us. I've seen some people on the I9K forum complaining that their autorotate will randomly stop working too, so perhaps there's an underlying problem in the ROM(in addition to the I9K and I897 sensor files being different).

However they've claimed that the autorotate failures have been in conjunction with theme changes, and apparently reflashing the kernel helps... but again this is just end users giving remedies to other end users so lord knows what the REAL problem is.

To clarify, swapping the libs *should* do the trick (and is necessary due to calibration differences between I9K system/kernel and I897), but there might be an additional problem that causes autorotate to shut off, possibly tied to theme application.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Auto-Rotation+Themes

:confused:

Anyone else notice that if you install a custom theme, or even just change the icons with the theme manager the auto-rotate fix stops working? I've reflashed 3 times, twice from stock, and no matter what I do, once I apply a new theme the screen dosen't rotate anymore. Tried replacing the files again, clearing cache, reflashing kernel, etc.

Edit: Thats kinda hilarious. Zilch got to it first :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Lol wow that is spectacular timing after my last post. I'm using the Honeycomb theme and not having the issue, which theme are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I swapped the files on my zip but I dont feel like buying root explorer just to change the permissions lol
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
ADB is where it's at :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Kind hard to tell, its in mandarin I believe =/ its a 7MB Matte icon theme from the theme down loader. It doesn't seem to matter though. Any of them do it. Even the I9000 lock screen themes.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's weird... I applied the Honeycomb one before I applied the lib fix... maybe that's why I'm having no drama.

Scratch that... it's fubar now... spoooooooky
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Thread is definitely haunted :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Seems like auto rotote is working for me with the new zip that i just built using the kang kernel im using. I've restarted about 10 times to make sure it sticks and applied a theme from theme manager, still sticking.
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Cellular Band Selection and Status

Is there any way to access the Cell Band setting (*#2263#) or status(*#0011#)?

They do not seem to work when entered into the dialer.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Im still in the process of contacting ghostbusters.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
if u have not already done so. try a full power off then see if it works. then do 1 reboot after that using the reboot. thats when i usually lose mine.

what are benefits to rc2? my autorotate is a lot more consistent now and i dunno if its worth flashing
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
I've already done both several times. Seems like javelin kernel is to blame in my case
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Interesting, I am using the honeycomb theme and I have no autoroation issues.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
New file posted in our sourceforge department, just pm'ed mambo to see what it is.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
same here. i used the kang kernel u posted a while back and it stopped working once, and has worked ever since.

anything notiecably better in rc2 that's worth leaving rc1 for?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
@moss: He added the file you uploaded. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Not really
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Oh he did? darn lol I actually thought he made a cappy version for a second
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
RC2 with working auto rotate @ least for me

http://www.multiupload.com/9I7H2U14CA

after you boot up the first time you have to go back into recovery and flash the kang kernel attached.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
If auto rotate works for you guys also with what I just posted and the kernel, i will add the kernel into the zip and that will be the final one.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The weird thing is that if you watch logcat everything seems to toggle properly... there isn't anything failing O_o
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Some people are still referencing back to those post for files they need.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
The people who really love this rom follow the thread, I don't update the OP unless the files are 100% working. You can use the rc1 version right now just follow the initial instructions and then read and download from the quote at the top of the First Post.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Has anyone tested to see if auto rotation is working for them yet?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
hey tae u might wanna change the name of the rc2 u upload, it says i9000rc2 and some people might get confused
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
So I just overwrote ALL the files from the lib/hw folder with the corresponding CM7 3/18 nightly files and my autorotation returned. Anyone who's having a post-theme autorotation failure want to give this a whirl to see if there's something to this?

(Ps Don't forget to set the permissions!)
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yea im going to, first i wanted to see if the zip + attached kernel fixes auto rotate for everyone else before i combine the two and reupload.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Update: There will be a new release for MIUI by the end of the week.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
best I can tell MIUI devs, not the i9000 team, relase their updates Friday morning. Since the i9000 port has been adopted by them to a degree I believe it is safe to say every friday one could expect an update, until all is as they want it to be.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
What would the new build number be?

I have applied the newest MIUI9000_RC2.zip(80.1 MB) and CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110327_03_update.zip.

My rotation only works in apps that auto rotate. Internet Browser does not rotate. I have shut down and rebooted a few times. Went back to default theme.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
so two people tested and said everything is working for them. So i will combine the kernel and zip and re upload.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Browser works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
The themes downloaded from the Theme manager/Downloader, is there any reason why it dosen't change the lock screen graphic but the ones from the I9000 thread do?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Because the ones from the theme manager/downloader are still using the old lockscreen theme so that's why aren't changing. The ones on the i9000 thread have been updated to use the new lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
the lock screen have been updated in gigerbread, in orther to skin it new themes have to include new files to skin the lockscreen
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
also working fine here
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
Let me try another reboot with autorotate off then I will turn it back on.

Maybe I need to reflash.

I do see the new MIUI Android screen. I am fairly certian I loaded RC2.

Edit: No go. Reflashing now.

Edit: Got it. Took reflashing the rom and the kernel a second time. All is as it should be.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Good.

S.n. Uploading new zip which includes Kang kernel and auto rotate fix.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I will give that one a shot. Either way, thank you.

Edit: Got it. Took reflashing the rom and the kernel again. All is as it should be.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
FINAL VERSION!!!!​

Wifi and Auto-Rotate should work on first boot. If not just reflash the kernel.

http://www.multiupload.com/3P909SKLQG
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
You used mine?

Glad its working for you.
[Captivate Android Development] deuceduzit:
Can I please get the link to that package? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Look to post up
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Escapist Kernel

Just an update. i tried escapists' kernel because I like the UV, however, it seems auto-rotate breaks on his kernel. At least on my phone. Flashed it, auto-rotate breaks, flashed back to kang, it works again.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
The files you posted a few back.

CM7_Captivate_kernel_kang_20110327_03_update.zip

MIUI9000_RC2.zip

All good now.
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
here is what you looking for
[Captivate Android Development] MAMBO04:
@moss, please add this to OP so people can download it directly, i've also included the Kernel as a seperate download (Javelin)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/miui9000devs/files/captivate/

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Javelin is breaking auto rotate. I included Lang in my zip.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Rotation appears to vary, I am using javelin without issue

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] dfellars77:
Camera Settings

My camera works, but I do see a preview image... should I restore to stock and reflash or is there a fix for this?

***never mind, it started working***

(also, would love to be able to access cell band settings. is there a way to do this with MIUI.)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Ill update the OP in just a minute.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
As far as I know, there isn't a way to do it at this time. The codes were for froyo ROMS and can't be used on gingerbread based ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Can you attach the kernel that we may need to reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
It wont let me from the xda app
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
here you go!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
if for nothing else, I have helped contribute to the new thread title.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Lol you have made us proud.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I lost rotate again changing my theme. Maybe it is directly related to themes.
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
a reboot will fix it if you are on kang's kernel not so sure if it comes back on javelin after reboot
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Thank u
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I don't think the auto rotate issues are kernel specific. I had it go out using escapists kernel. However I got it back by copying in all the files from the cm7 lib\hw folder (sans lights due to bln) . Someone else who has had autorotate flake out should try this to make sure this isn't a fluke before we come to the conclusion that it's a kernel screwup.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
You copied the entire /system/lib (all sub-folders) folder and it didn't boot loop your phone? Did you have to manually change the permissions on all the files?

*Edit*

Looks like I misread- So only the files from the /system/lib/hw and the one file from /system/lib?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah just system/lib/libsensorservice.so and everything in system/lib/hw (except lights.so)

Though I managed to reproduce the failure via theme change, and get it to return to normal... I'm going to tinker with it a little more to see if I can predict the failures
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So I have been using CM7 for some time now and since this is based on the same I think yet now I see it is on RC2...I am wondering how this one is moving along so fast and what users going from CM7 to this feel are the main advantages of doing so.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
For me I'm a fan of the UI, the theming is pretty nice, and it's a very responsive ROM. Granted it's built on a lot of CM7 so I pretty much just look at it as a fancy CM7 theme =P
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
This will be strictly opinion. To me, it seems smoother. Faster. Battery life seems much better on this, especially with GPS off, using Escapist kernel, JL3 and UV (even while using a LW). With moderate use, I can get about 16-17 hours. The theme is crisp and a bit more professional looking IMO. But like I said, all this is my opinion :)
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
So I've been debating going to this because in the i9000 OP it talks about known issue of battery drain and was wondering who has had problems with this. I know we have UV kernels now so I'm thinking that can be resolved... Anyone have any comments on their usage?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
My battery life on this is no worse than it was on CM7. I'm not UV'd but in about 12 hours I'm down to about 20-30% battery depending on usage. It certainly isn't as efficient on battery as Froyo, but it's not nearly as bad as it could be.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
:( I wish this worked for me. Really like to have a UV kernel but after replacing all the files and fixing the permissions, Escapist kernel still breaks auto-rotate for me. Are you using the 4.2 version?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Lol tbh I hope that we don't have to worry about a new release for a couple days
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Is the philosophy on this one the same as CM7 in that we are not getting hardware accelerated video to work and so on?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup. And for me switching to the default theme causes autorotate to take a nosedive. Yet if I switch back to the honeycomb theme, wait for it to reboot, power down, then power up it comes back. It seems like theres some element in some of the themes that disagrees with autorotate
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
huh, now for me, yetters or escapist does not work for me. once I flash back Kangs, all is well (without having to replace the lib files). Dosen't seem to be theme specific for me either. I apply a them, reboot, power down, power on and it works on kangs. lol
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah pretty sure if it isn't in CM7 it isn't in here. Afterall it's gingerbread, all the kernels for MIUI are the same as our CM7 kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm that certainly opens up a lot of weird possibilities
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
Honestly, I just moved to MIUI because it seemed like consistent progress was being to getting a full release. Almost every it's a new release. Not saying that the CM7 guys aren't working hard, I just enjoy tinkering with new things and it seems like there's always something new with MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
To be fair I don't think MIUI can be called a completed project until CM7 is :) But that's just me being nitpicky. The MIUI guys did an amazing job of theming and modding out the ROM. I can honestly say it's like nothing I've ever seen on the SGS.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's so weird. I'm able to recreate the problem perpetually.

Return to default theme, autorotate breaks.

Go back to HC theme, autoreboot, modem has a hard time connecting (And I suspect other services might be failing).

Power off

Restart

Autorotate is back
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
People who installed my zip, is auto rotate holding up.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
How does this compare to CM7?

:D
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Thanks a lot for the work... I have one Question.

Coming from CM7, Do i have to Flash Efs backup/Beta 7 and Then This? Or can I Directly Flash RC2 (Cos its just 79MB). + the kang Kernal.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
In the spirit of CM7 we should have one rule for MIUI, I propose:

You don't ask how it compares to CM7

:D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you already have CM7 then you already have an EFS backup on your /sdcard (it's under the backup folder).

Just format the system/data/cache partitions, flash RC2, then flash in the recommended kernel, wipe user data and boot.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I see similar behavior. I also rebooted it sideways and the screen autorotated.
