[Q] No Google talk in Serendipity 6.4 - Captivate Themes and Apps

I have the Serendipity 6.4 on the Captivate and absolutely love it. The only thing missing is the gtalk app which i used to use A lot. So i found the .apk on this thread and tried to hard install, but it didn't work.
What are my options..??

this question should be in this thread

and you may as well upgrade to Serendipity 7.2 I think the gtalk app is in that build....but best to go over there and ask.

better read up on it closely too, you will need GB bootloaders so you can't flash from 6.4 to 7.2

When I flashed from 6 to 7 my wife asked me what I was doing, I told her, she shook her head....when I flashed Apex the other day, she asked again what I was doing....with a very puzzled look......so I told her....
she breathed deep and told me...quote: "One of these days you are going to crap your phone out and you'll be left with nothing but that crappy flip phone in the drawer!"

Plug in the usb and press and hold vol up and down and power. When the screen goes black let go of power while continuing to hold vol up and down. Should bring you back to download mode

What you have to do is run Odin with the usb connected to the phone, then you unplug and plug the usb back in, hold the vol - and + with the power button at the same time, once the screen goes black, release the power button, but keep holding the vol - and + buttons and Odin will recognize your phone. then the phone will be at the downloading screen

but really, you should go over to the Serendipity 7 thread, you will get more help from there and it's where this topic belongs.
did I say that already?
You're in the themes part of the forum not development or help.

I'm back up and running serendipity 7.2... and I installed google talk from the add-on kitchen sink.... Problem solved.

OC Kernel (Godmode #65) for Download anyone?

Hey guys,
I apologize if this is in the incorrect forum section.
I have been searching for a flashable copy of the OC Godmode #65 for the HTC Hero CDMA (Sprint) that I can download, but cannot find it anywhere.
Does ANYONE have this available so that I could download it? ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work XDA and thanks for reading
If this, this or this isn't what you're looking for, then I don't know. Sorry.
yeah im looking for it too, i think that is it

Thanks man, not sure if one of those is it or not, but the problem is, two of them lead to this gitcode.com.... page which is just like a big repository of files used for the kernel. Does n/e one have one already zipped and ready to flash? Toastcfh Godmode #65??

Thanks for the help, but I've d/l'd those before and the one I usually get, 710, is always build #89, not #65...
The reason I'm being so picky, is because when I'm running the #89, I get FC's for phone app when receiving some calls and wifi tether freezes the phone (only fixed by battery removal) when stopping the tether.
Any help?
I've been testing out the darchshizz #1, the one that is supposed to fix this problem, and it's good so far, but I get a lock screen lag, just briefly, when coming out of sleep, etc...
Guess nothing's perfect though

It's really brief. Basically it's like right after pressing the END button, to come out of sleep, it takes the devices about 1.5 sec to turn on the screen, then I have to wait approx. 1 sec for my button lights/trackball to light up, before I can drag my unlock (via the screen) to unlock the phone.
Like I said, it's really brief, and 1s is approximate. I've got mine clocked at 537-691 but notice this regardless of clock speeds.
And I just saw you were talking about this in a different thread already, so I didn't need to explain it I'm sure, but just in case, I'll leave it in, LoL.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074
As for the lag. Are you using an OC app/widget? I noticed lag when I was using one and had it lower the frequency when asleep. It would lag when it turned back on b/c it took a second to set the frequency back up. Other then that, I have always experienced a little delay even when stock.

Works great Darch. Still a bit of a lag when pressing the END key for wake up, but once that pops up and I'm able to use the lockscreen, it works just fine. Nice work my friend 8)

App to make bottom 4 soft keys stay on?

It gets annoying when they turn off on their own after ~5 seconds, and makes it hard at night to hit the right key, like Back or Home. I just want those 4 bottom soft keys to stay on the entire time the screen is on, and go off when it is Locked.

Right, and I think with all the Gingerbread ROMs now, it'll be even more of a failsafe for those without the button combo. My wife's captivate was bought later and doesn't have the combo, so I bought a jig just so I don't have to see her cry if she gets a bad flash.
pm'd - hopefully i can grab one off you this weekend

[Q] Please help my Cappy! (Hard Brick possibly)

No download mode or recovery. Just boots to that crashed screen. I tried making a jig but the phone would not boot from 300 or 301k ohm resistor. So I only have the att screen, crash screen and I also get the battery screen when I attempt to go into download mode. PLEASE HELP!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye4QnZdur2g&feature=youtu.be
You're not hard bricked, hard brick, you'd have nothing at all. try to pull your battery for a couple min. Put it back in and try your jig again(I'll assume it has worked before)
Also, what were you doing that caused this?
What did you have installed for a ROM?
Also, I'm at work and they block youtube, so I can't see your video, can you upload a photo of your screen error

I'm sorry. My mistake was that I did not flash GB bootloader and I attempted to install a GB rom through CWM. My bad.
Download mode doesn't seem to work and I'm not positive my Jig works as I just got the resistors from radioshack and am touching the two pins but the phone does nothing. If I hold both volume buttons while plugging in usb it will have the circle icon and then go to the battery charging screen.
heres a screenshot from his youtube vid for reference.
is this what happens when you dont have the gingerbread bootloaders??

when just using your fingers to do quick jig, make sure your fingers arent touching both sides of the resistor! your finger creates a parallel path that alters the total resistance. its really complicated...... USE TAPE TO HOLD YOUR "jig"
Yahh that is the result of no GB bL and Gb ROM! I'm not mad just people screw stuff up and ask for help when its too late.
Nobody minds helping you if your phone isn't bricked yet, but to fix bricked phones over text isn't easy
