[Q] Darky's Rom auto rotation problem

Hey guys I just flashed Darky's Rom v8.1 on my Samsung Captivate and i really like it but I have two problems. The first one is an auto rotation opposite rotation problem. The screen auto rotates the 90 degrees the wrong way so if i hold it vertically, the screen is horizontal. I calibrated the horizontal axis but it didnt work. The only solution I have found is to turn off auto rotation but then i cant use the qwerty keyboard when emailing or texting. My second problem is that when i download apps it restarts into the Darky's rom screen and reboots back to the home screen with the app no where to be found. Is there anyway you guys can solve one or both of my problems, or even suggest a better rom because im up it P.S. please keep in mind this is my first android phone and Im more or less a noob with this phone (not technology but just the phone)

Sounds like a bad flash.
You can, reflash the rom
Our try a different one
What kernel are you using?
I have not used darkeys but this is not a common issue with the rom

The problem you have with autorotation is because you loaded Darkyys ROM from the I9000 forums. To resolve this issue, use a captivate Kernel. Use the K12O kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
Flash it in CWM Recovery.
Hopefully your second problem gets resolved after resolving the first issue. I have Darkyys 8 and using it with the SpeedMod kernel, without any issue..

@rickysa2000 your kernal worked amazing and my phone is mega fast and the auto rotation is back to normal but I still can't download an app successfully. Since i downloaded the kernal, half the time the download is successful and installs and half the time it goes back to the Darky's screen but for both, the app still isn't on my menu. Maybe I'm just being dumb and it's right under my nose, but either way I still cant find it!

Try this
Go to settings
Applications
Manage
market
Clear data

I tried it and it didnt work. I also tried to download other apps besides quadrant standard and that sent it into the darky's screen as well. Any other suggestions? Is there a place where I can see my downloads besides the pull down menu (which doesn't show it) to see if it got downloaded to some obscure place?

Just an idea, but why not download gaskets from the captivate section, and flash it again. I have never encountered your issue but if I did I would either reflash, or flash stock then reflash

Try flashing ytt3r's Captivate port, as he mentioned fixing several bugs present in the I9000 version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10133066&postcount=1
(it's the big "DOWNLOAD HERE" link)

Thanks everyone! I'm downloading the newest Darky rom from ytt3r but for the mean time I just flashed phoenix which works great. But as I was flashing it, I noticed a nice scratch. AHHHH

I have had the same problems with auto rotation on some Darkys roms and others, I reflalshed the roms , it seemed to fix the problem. I am running Darlys 8.1 fash, good battery life and now bugs with no-wipe flash.

[Q]Problem with sound

When I am in the call sometimes i cant hear other side,my front speaker doesnt work I can only hear it when turn on speakerphone,If I reboot device my problem is gonne but only for a while... After some time same problem is back. Does anyone have some suggestion? I am at serendipity ROM with voodoo kernel...

i would say the rom and kernel is down to this problem.
check you are running the latest version of both, and if you are ask in the thread to see if anyone else has this issue.
a reset may work, but chances are the problem will come back.
a lot of sound related issues come from the kernel. so its always worth checking for updates

Thanks for suggestion,i will try to update or change kernel. I was on Darky's rom with voodoo kernel before and I had same problem so maybe you are right...

[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.4 solving "sleep of death"?

I am considering upgrading to 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini to solve the "sleep of death" problem... is anyone out there who has upgraded to 2.3.4 still having the "sleep of death" problem?

Whats sleep of death problem ?

It's when the phone is still "on" but will not wake up. The only way to get it working is to take out the battery. Many are reporting this happening every day or two.

Happens on i9000 for me, I just keep powerbutton pressed until it reboots. No need to remove battery.
I think i need to do a factory reset on phone + sd card someday, maybe it resolves it.

this happened to me too. just reset phone and when it starts, try to use the phone or just simply tap the phone every time it tries to sleep (anything works as long it doesn't sleep)... just keep on doing this for about 30min? or more
(make yourself busy while doing this cuz its gonna be boring just tapping)

I think it's related to hardware problem (not confirmed yet anyway)... Don't believe that "upgrade" could be the solution..
I actually hope so!
GT-S5570 on Train

I just upgraded today using kies.... now when I try to start up it never gets past the step where it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Mini" text. Creating another thread for this problem.

With CheckFUSDownloader (thanks to Luffarjoh - search 3D) you can download the archive used to update your fw and, so, reflash it with Odin (even more times if needed)...

Nope, it's not hardware related. Never had a SOD since I used tjstyle's CM7.
Early Gingerbread firmware from Samsung has SOD too, but I think the latest versions doesn't.
Official firmware is now on 2.3.5, FYI.

If I can't get passed the logo screen what is the best way to get my firmware information? The guides say I need this info to choose the right rom.
Thanks!

This is a Froyo problem, didn't happen in Gingerbread :3

Yeah, had the same problem when on Froyo, after flashing GB2.3.4 the problem hasn't occured.

[Q] Wifi & battery issues on imilka's cm9

Hi folks,
I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.
Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.
Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.
I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.

Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...
What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...

I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.

It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again.
I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.

Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.
And thanks for your answers guys.

Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!

Flashing Modem ti solve wifi battery drain?

Hey folks, sorry to double post. Tried to post this on developer section(radio's thread), but i'm afraid i'm still under 10 posts...
Been having these WiFi/battery drain issues since updating to ICS, where WiFi is being called every now and then with some routers. So the most part of the time i must turn wifi off, even at home. Will flash another Modem help? If so, any advice on which one for spain I'm on stock ICS/LPY/XXLPT modem...
Let's see if can solve this, it's driving me nuts! Any help appreciated, Thanks!!
Cheers,
VR

Anyone?

I'd like to know the same thing for UK on O2. Thanks.

Allright, i've just flashed XXLB2 and nothing changed regarding WiFi. Running out of ideas...

Damn, still worse. Tried to flash ZCLP5 after xxlb2 and it failed. Retried XXLB2 and now i'm stuck on SetupConection Odin PC and te pone in download mode. Can i disconnect the phone and Turn it off and try ti start it?? Scary ti say the least....

Right, note reboot normally. I´ve trien XXLR1 with same results as XXLB2, wifi probs persist. Not a chance to try ZCLP5 & 6 as odin FAILS(failed message) to flash them. Any ideas?
