Battery indictor - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm doing some battery testing on different roms to see which ones the best, so far it's Ultimate 10.2. On all the other roms the battery indicator all have a percentage and that's what I was basing my tests on. But on Ultimate, the battery is just a battery. I tried flashing a mod with CW but it just froze or got stuck in the loading menu. Any help on to why this happens or another way to install the rom?
Greatly appreciated, Richard.

Any jpy theme should work

It's in About Phone, under Status.

Are the mods universal? I found a jpy battery mod but it said it was for darkys rom. Will that work?

May or may not. In general, themes designed for JPX based roms would work in any JPX rom, but there is no 100% guarantee it would. Before u do any of these things, I would recommend taking a nandroid backup so u can revert to that in case anything messes up.
If ur rom is a JPY based rom, it could work on urs too.
For me, about 2-3 out of 10 themes mess up and nandroid is the way to get back.

Is there such thing as a universal kernel that can go with all roms? If not can you suggest a mod for a jpy rom? I have my whole phoned backed up in like three different computer files so I'm open to suggestions.

Only froyo?

Do you have to be on a froyo firmware to flash cyanogenmod7 and miui?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes, but more specifically froyo bootloaders. Miui does to as it is based on CM7. There are heaps of guides around that include instructions on how to go to Miui or CM7. This one explains how to go to CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101534[/URL
And this one for Miui: [URL="https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItSONRa9nzI7MKeKqwIdHCTRA3RRiOM_6LcJGnK4p6Y&pli=1"]https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItSONRa9nzI7MKeKqwIdHCTRA3RRiOM_6LcJGnK4p6Y&pli=1

Ezbase 2 is the best start point for a journey to cm7, why not try insanity cm? Come join the insane
GTi9000 insanity cm012/glitch
I will after I have used darky's for a.little longer. The roms I have tried are gingerreal and darky's 10.1. The roms I have tried are dark core and the one that came with gingerreal and I can't tell a difference in nh the.performance.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I think I will stick with darky as I found that battery life is quite a bit better on gingerbread than froyo
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes, if you want to have a good battery life, you shouldn't use CM7 or MIUI. Cause if cmpare battery life to Samsung-based ROMs it's not so good (but it's getting better from day to day ).
So which other roms can I flash straight away which are gingerbread based other than darkys and gingerreal?

Best gingerbread JVP ROM?

Which is fastest ginger JVP ROM and fastest kernel for it? Having been on cm7/miui since the froyo days im kinda curious now
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why not CM7? It's based on 2.3.4 and you can overclock/undervolt too.

Juwes and GingerCriskelo works very fine.
not a direct response to your question but: I've tested a few jvp roms incl. Juwe's v5 release (and I honestly admire Juwe for his work) however insanity 10 (which is CM based) provides a much smoother user experience. give it a try....
I am waiting on Simply Honey 3.8. Tried a few of the others but so far i have been extremely pleased with SH. Been with it since v3.2. New one is gonna be released at 3.30pm today!

Hi in your opnions whats the best rom for the s,darkys? Or suggestions welcome,itsfor my better half,she likes it simple,im not beibng a git in saying thT
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'd say its all about personal preference mate, if you want a rom that's quick, with no bugs etc then yeah Darky's is the rom for you. But if you want a ported rom I.e HTC sense, 2.3.4 from the nexus s etc then that can be done but as I said, its all about personal preference as roms are being released nearly every days and each with different capabilities and different features. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1 with Glitch kernel, overclocked to 1.44ghz and it works a treat hope this helps bud

Well... i've been trying the galnet miui and it works wonderfully. Fast, simple, beautiful and easy to install.
Just my opinion... but go and have a look... many are satisfied.
Good luck!

If u are new to flashing stuff, stick with darkky.. its simple, elegant and fast but if u want advanced feature like theming on the go, try miui...(ps: installing miui may not be as simple as darkky) Happy flashing..

I'm current running Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly #41 and its fast and responsive, but you mentioned your wife likes things simple, so i'd suggest keeping it stock, at least until she says that it is running too slow. Then i'd go for Darky, nice and simple and very few or no bugs.
Or try Juwe's ROM, I like it more than Darky 10.1.

Did debugging mode not work then bud?? Try this. First off, go into settings, wireless and network, USB, then tick Samsung Kies. Then connect your phone to your computer/laptop, wait a few moments, then load Samsung Kies, once loaded, at the top....select tools, then select re-install drivers. This will then install your device drivers again. Keep your phone connected whilst its installing your drivers. Let me know how it goes

This combo is fast, stable, and by far the best settup for Galaxy S, 3000+ Quadrant scores, neat and highly customisable, SET CPU to 1.4 overclock and watch you phone kick anal!
Darkys is now so defunked, months ago! Was good, but now, you got your undies cought around your ankle if using darkys, time to get with the prgram, if you want speed, try the combo as above, after many many many different combos, finally found the master combo (-:

Rom is dead.
Pretty sure all of you moved away from the vibrant.
thanks for the port i cant wait to try it
Super nice

This rom is amazing!
One major bug though : phone soft reboots if wifi is turned on and you turn off the screen. Tried changing the wifi sleep policy to never but it still rebooted.
Other bug: GPS still doesn't work for me even after renaming angrygps.APk to angrygps.Bak
I appreciate your effort porting the rom im going to try reflashing to see if that fixes it!
and wow youre 13? great job thats impressive! =]
P.S. setting screen density to 182 looks incredible!

hmmm......I cant seem to reproduce what you're saying.
Remember: if you are having problems, did you
1.wipe cache?
2.wipe dalvik?
3.wipe data?

I was on Bi-Winning with voodoo enabled
ODINd simply honey with repartition checked to cancel out the voodoo.
wiped all three of those
flashed this rom
titanium backup for user apps only
ill wipe and reflash again cuz this rom is just too nice!
EDIT: wiped and reflashed still the same thing, maybe its my phone...ill try a different rom and see what happens then flash back to this one and see where the issue lies

The kernel is JVP. The rom itself is JVQ. Its like using a KA6 kernel on a kb1 rom.
Is this rom better then the revolution rom, in speed and stability? I heard that jvq is a huge improvement to jvp, but its still using the jvp kernel.

I never flashed Revolution but on my phone is much better then Simply Honey and Asgard.
Hmmm...... I gonna try and see if flashing full JVQ through odin without booloaders then flashing this after would fix some problems.

The best kernel and rom

Hi guys,
I am new here and need your opinion.
Which rom and kernel are the best for GNote..for battery life?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
For my opinion its a little bit early for custom rom and kernel.New phone so new stuff for the devs and a lot of tests for them.
I tried some custom rom but for now im on latest root stock, deleting lot of uselles apps, ics animation and battery% (you can find in theme's thread) and everything is fine for me.
We all must be patience...
Yeah..
Tnx man.
