Thanks tomween1.
Request to Mods: Can you please make it sticky like other Q&A threads..
Thanks goes to Forum Moderator reinbeau for making this a Sticky thread.
Didn't know Reinbeau was a moderator. Thanks!
Great idea, Tom, sometimes people go a little off topic in the development section, asking about very general stuff. Nice to have a more general thread and a more technical thread. ('course now I have another subscription to watch )

Well, Watsa was doing both. Both sides of the fence, if you will. Just that many more happy campers!
I just have to say....thank you thank you thank you.
This ROM is what the Captivate should have been the entire time. It took me awhile to get up to 2.3.5 with GB bootloaders and figure out how to flash it, but all of the info is there one the forums.
The SGS II email app alone made it worth it for me since I can now have my phone on WiFi and get my EAS email with zero problems. The stock 2.3.5 email app was still buggy for Exchange when WiFi was on and this fixed everything.
One question I have though. Can I pretty safely install each iteration of the Illuminance ROM over top of an older one? That is the only thing I was unable to find on the forums. I took the chance and installed 1.1 over top of 1.0.1 and have had no problems. I am just curious as to what is recommended.
Thank you again!
Anyone can make a non-transparent scroll down status(look like stock) for Illuminance v1.1 ROM?
The transparent one might get lag sometime... I am not sure why...?
First... Let me say that I am loving this ROM so far. I have not really been happy with any of the GB ROMS (Paragon RC6 on Froyo was my fav). Anyways, for some reason after flashing this ROM (coming from Obsession with Talon Kernel) I cannot get to me ext_sd card through CWM. From what I understand the CWM thing is part of the Kernel, so I downloaded the latest Samari 1.2 Kernel and flashed that. Still the same problem. Downloaded the Boog KJ3 Kernel and still the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this???
For the record my method for getting around not being able to access the external sd card is to put the files in the phone storage and flash from there.
TW4 for Illuminance
Anyway TW4 can be ported to Illuminance.

To answer your question, yes. You can safely install each iteration of this ROM over or on top of an older one. Right now, each is a full wipe version, meaning you'll have to redo all apps and stuff, but in the future IlluminatedOne said he'd be doing upgrade versions. We'll have to wait and see. Either way it's well worth any effort. This is a great ROM

Just for clarification... the internal 16GB sd card is called /sdcard. And the external sd card is found in the /sdcard folder and is called /external_sd. So is it the internal or external sd card that you're talking about?
Also when flashing anything CWM only allows you to go thru the sdcard (internal one), it says something like, 'install zip from sdcard', it will display the folder for your external sd card but won't let you install from there. That's why everything needs to be on the internal sd card before you try to install it. Hope this helps.
I got FC when I tried to use MiniPaper widget for the first time. And now when I try to open it, it won't open and I can't write anything. Only thing I can do is drag it and delete it. Any idea why?

I get the impression that TW4 doesn't work all that well with GB. For some it works better than others and that's why a lot of DEVs have switched back to TW3, much more stable and no FC's. If you want same look with more options you might try GoLauncher Ex with the TW theme.

I got more (twice ) reasons to do both.. Though Apex 11 is a team effort and I'm just a small part.

I will not work on porting TW4, instead I will try to enhance TW3 included. If you want to try, you can try TW4 from Apex 10 thread. Better, try TW3 from Pinnacle for better appearance and a few functionaries from TW4.

Yes, same here. As I mentioned earlier, CWM will show the folder with the external sdcard but when you choose it, it just drops back to current internal sd card directory. I've never tried to install anything from my external card from this or any other rom/kernel, but I didn't think you could ever install from an external card. Always had to put it in root directory or at least a folder on the internal sdcard.

In stock when you select a photo and set as wallpaper you can choose as lockscreen or homescreen. I couldn't see that in Illu so...
And when i try from display settings and i get FC too.
Email
Maybe a silly question, not even sure if it belongs here or general Q&A, but can't seem to find answer. In the Notification bar when I get an email, clicking on the pulldown and email, brings up the GMail view of my gmail account. There is also the stock GB email app, which I found I like the view much better. Is there any way to get the stock email view to come up when going thru the notification bar? Or would I have to delete my gmail app?
I apoligize if this is not really ROM related. But I trust you guys

The purpose of making it is to create a clean rom for people that might not want everything customised. eg. having a blank cardboard box. You can do anything with it.
A simple rom for simple people.
The improvements will be that it might be a bit faster and a bit more space.
i will in the future be creating a rom that is customized
Make it root, take away everything except the essentials, use launcherpro as the default launcher and your done!

Good luck to you bud, hope it will be soon because would be good to see how it performs over stock and other modified Roms.
And just a little note to everyone moaning about this already. if you don't like what he is doing then you know what to do. don't download it then you won't have lost anything will you. he is doing this in his own time with no funding so maybe not should grateful. why don't you create your own Rom and then we can moan about it!!!!

When you got a bit of time mate could do with some help on the kernal update from modaco. can't seem to update it from recovery.

Although you are correct in some way, that wasn't a very smart question. Not everyone likes one same launcher right? But does that mean every dev and android phone manufacturer should put about ten different launchers in their ROMS to suit everyone's needs? Ah, ok!

@everyone
ROM thread: link
ROM themes thread: link
I created this Q&A thread for this ROM to prevent tons of new threads about ROM specific questions from new users. Please feel free to post any questions here.
When posting a question, please make sure to mention:
ROM version
Kernel and version
Any theme, if applicable
Modem, if applicable
Also, please give some time for your question to be answered. Devs in particular are pretty busy churning out something or other for us. So be patient.
1. No question is too noobish, but please learn to do a search first, be it on this thread, or some other thread in this forum.
2. Before asking any questions regarding task killers and why they shouldn't be used, I would recommend reading this post: Android Memory Management

Glad to be of some help dilli. Thought this might help reduce Q&A style posts on the ROM thread.
I stopped even coming to 'dev' forums to look for ROMs since I know most ROMs now would be 2.2.1 based at the most, and well I feel I am on the best possible ROM already. Most of my time now is in the Q&A and General sections outside our three threads (ROM, themes, and this new Q&A now).
Sup my glitter ball bruthers,
Been using gballs sincemy first flash cuz it seemed to have the least problems and the best support and satisfaction....firstflashed 2/13. I am using suckerpunch #51 1ooomhz (so f'ing fast i need too slow down) also using dillis bluetheme and the latest add on
I was just wondering about modems. it seems there are newer modems than the one that is included with dilies6.0 .... jl2, i believe. Am i just confused or should i consider a different modem, if so why, or why not?
ive also noticed a new service since the newest addon other than the new keyboard service running all the time and periodically starting and restarting
It is called Sns service ... do i need this service?
If not how can i get rid of it?
Oh and,
Gballs Unite!!!!!!
Running di11i v6, unthemed, no mods/changes. (Been on it nearly 2 weeks....very nice.) Can't do adb remount - it returns Permission denied. Tried other threads suggestions to similar problem. TiBU works and shows busybox, SU shows TiBU as having root access. Reflashed di11i again along with TiBU but still having same issue.
Haven't ever had to post before - you guys do a great job; easy to follow along in other threads. I just can't seem to find an answer that works.
* Just noticed with adb shell> su the phone prompts for allowing SU permission for the shell. Even though I allowed it, I still can't remount (displays "operation not permitted" now). So it's definately not a problem with the ROM/add-ons - never really thought so but....if anyone has any ideas.
official 2.2 tomorrow.

Learning as much as I can from Mobile Tech Vids. Got the OC Di11i 6.0. How do I add the Blue theme. Downloaded your version 3 and 5 (want to put boot anni on the 5). I know the answer is starring me in the face, I'm just not seeing it. Thanx.
BTW- Been using Bay_Wolf's AIO Captivate toolbox. So...I've kinda been cheating and doing things the easy way....which means there's alot I'm not familiar with.
Also-If I change wallpapers, how do I get the Android wallpaper back without re-flashing the rom? (I'll prob keep comming up with a bunch of dumb questions, sorry. I hardly even know how to use this forum ex: what are stars and what's up with the thanks meter?)

Option 1 (simplest)
Apply 3, reboot, then apply 5. Simple and straight forward method if u do not want to mess around.
Option 2 (easy)
Apply 5.
Copy the zip attached to this post "as it is" into ur /system/media folder using an app like 'root explorer'.
Option 3 (depends on ur current skill level)
Open the v5 in winzip or winrar.
Create a folder called 'media' in the 'system' folder (the folder in which u see the 'framework' and 'app' folders).
Copy this zip 'as it is' into that.
Apply the updated v5.
Option 4 (simplest and easiest)
Check the links post (post 4). I will update with a link to v5 with boot animation included.
My mistake: I just downloaded the zip. It includes the boot animation Sorry about the confusion. Looks like I uploaded the zip with boot animation.
Biggest Noob you've ever seen!!!

Assuming u r on dilli's ROM, u would have clock work recovery console already loaded. Steps below based on that assumption:
1. Copy the theme zip to ur SD card root.
2. Boot into clockwork recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there).
3. Install the zip file using the option 'apply zip from SD card', then 'select zip from sd card' and then selecting the theme zip file (words framed may not be exact but convey the same anyways).
Only if u r NOT on dilli's ROM:
If u are on some other ROM, and not have CWM console, or u do not know what that is:
1. Rename the theme file to 'update.zip',
2. Copy this update.zip to ur SD card root
3. Go into recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there)
4. Select the option there that says something like 'apply: update.zip'

No worries. Everyone's been through that stage at some point of time.
Hey new member here,
I was wondering if someone could help me as I am ultimately (hopefully)trying to put Touchwiz 4.0 on my sgs.
I stumbled upon this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058164 from a responding poster, but rather than risking following it and possibly bricking my phone, can anyone tell me if its possible to do this if my version is already 2.3.3 and xxjvo? So basically can you put a ROM on your phone that is also 2.3.3/current firmware but a different X.J..?
I have been through the process of rooting my current version(successfully) and also I tried to manually deodex it too but get stuck using the cmd commands in the instructions in this guide: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/158274-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html e.g. I get "permission denied"...
Finally, considering my ultimate aim is to put touchwiz 4.0 on my handset, if there is an easier way to customise my current version 2.3.3. XXJVO i.e. a good ROM I could use compatible with my version that can use an available TW 4.O or any other good features this would be useful. idk, I think I don't really understand what is compatible with what and what ROMs etc I can use...
I am kinda new to this whole flashing, rooting stuff so please be patient with me...any help is very much appreciated!

We're all new at some point mate
Yes you can revert to an older version, you could even go back to eclair if you wanted.
If your looking for TW 4 I would recommend Tweaky ROM 4.1 It has TW 4 and still has a stock feel. Its the most stable TW4 I have used.
If you already have Clockwork recovery you dont need to flash JVH or a custom kernal

I will defo have a look at this and i've got clockwork installed so I will follow your vids. Hopefully, it will work for me.
oh yeah, I'm stuck on manually deodexing stage but does my phone need to be deodexed to follow your vid? Is it ok if it is only rooted with CWM?

No problem mate. You dont need a deodexed ROM so long as you are on at least JVH and have clockwork.

Thanks again beerdaddy,
when you say "at least JVH" what exactly do you mean? does that have anything to do with my firmware version 2.3.3 or the XXJVO stuff? I kept reading other posts for a solution before posting and all the JVB, JVH and JVO talk confuses me.
Also are JVO and JVH incompatible/compatible or two different things altogether?

No probs
The JV1/K/B/H/O are all gingerbread firmwares but different releases. Your on JVO and that is the latest international version so your absolutely fine to flash from this.

Hey beerdaddy,
Thanks for the info yesterday. I managed to put the ROM on successfully . However, i have encountered a couple problems and the only thing i installed was Tweaky_ROM_v4.1_No_Wipe.zip.
Since you have used this before do you know how to fix two things that have FC on me:
the email app and swype
Swype lets you draw a line but makes a sound when you complete a word and the word does not appear in the text box. The email app just has a blank screen then FC. Also, are there any other common problems i should also know about too?
In this version I no longer have CWM there so how do i reboot into recovery etc? How will i apply any suggested fixes. Thanks in advance
Edit: i found cwm when pressing power and selecting recovery that put me into cwm recovery albeit an older version than what i had before e.g. Power button is used for select not middle button.

No worries mate
I haven't heard about the email app or experienced a problem with the email app so not so sure about that. Did you wipe Dalvik cache? If not try that.
Swype has a fix, you can find details on how to fix on the first page of Tweaky ROM thread under the tips and other things section
Edit: You can get in to recovery using the extended power menu or the three button combo (vol up + home + power key together)
Edit 2: You should wipe data for email app too from the manage app section in settings

Thanks for being such a big help
Both issues are fixed now and it is quite perfect except for the odd widget acting up but I don't use them. I think i'll just have a look round for other slight tweaks just to spruce it up a bit and i'm good. Any suggestions of good additional tweaks to this that work with my version? If not, thanks again. you made this a very easy process along with the help of Tweaky

No problem
Not so much a tweak but I would recommend Voodoo Control Plus app of the market. Makes it easier and clearer managing the ext4 lagfix and unlocks some amazing power from the amp giving you great sound quality.
The 7 lockscreen add on is good too which is found on the Tweaky thread, gives you SGSII lock screen plus the usual lot
EDIT: Which widgets aren't working?
K. I'm giving that voodoo control a go and have dl 7 lockscreen. I'm assuming you install it through cwm the same way as every other .zip file?
The widget that doesn't work properly is the "days" widget. I don't use it so its not really a problem. However, if you put it on one of your panels and try to click it it FC's the TW launcher and goes into the phone app. This means you have to choose a launcher again but I guess this would only really apply to someone who uses it; I was just checking out what the days widget was and how the diff widgets looked. cheers
Yeah just the usual installation via cwm. Never tried that widget....you can use another app called Nitrality to remove system apps and widgets you don't want/need

I will defo give voodoo control a go and about to install the 7 lockscreen too. I'm assuming you install it through cwm like any other zip file?
There are two widgets that seem to not be working one is the "power control" widget which appears but with out any actual power controls(basically just a blank screen) and the "days" widget where you can place it on a panel but when you click to edit it it FC's the TW launcher and puts you in the phone app
I don't use them though but found this out because I wanted to see how all the panels/widgets looked.
btw does the SGS2 lockscreen work like in some video I saw where you get your missed messages etc on it and sliding across takes you straight to the msg app?
EDIT: This is kind of a repost because I came back to edit my original reply but it wasn't there for some reason; hence this reply.
Yeah the lockscreen has the text and call slides
Edit: The power control widget will work, you need to stick on to a home screen and then reboot your phone. I personally use the extended power control widget of the market tho
will probably get that one from the market. Thanks for all your help on this. I feel thoroughly welcomed! Cheers

I decided to create a new thread solely for Q/A and for people who are exeriencing issues running LANIGHT. Many issues can be solved by flashing different kernel/patch/fix/modem or going back to stock.
Try flashing DarkyRom RE: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?th...aptivate.6062/ (Captivate guide)
Then flash JB on it with proper instructions.
When an application crashes I get the option to close it or report the crash. When I click to report the crash it then says that the Play Store crashed. Is there a fix for this?
Still have ringtone issue
I installed 6.5 dd and all went well, but I still have the disappearing ringtone issue. Tried the fix and didn't work. I came from 4.2 dd. Any comments on how to try to fix this? This ROM is great.

Did you try flashing semaphore or flashing the rom with a complete wipe? People reported flashing the different kernel sometimes fixes it... Not sure if it's kernel related which is highly unlikely.
I ran the rom with no issues. I remember it was an issues back in 4.2DD but it was gone when i applied the fix... Not everyone that flashed reported that issue maybe that's why i never got serious about it.
Lockscreen wallpaper image?
is there a way to set a different wallpaper image to the lockscreen?
I can't seem to find this option in the Lanigh 6.5 rom.

Same here, but I have to confess that I made a dirty flash wiping dalvik cache only. I'll try to make a full wipe to see what happens.

I followed instructions from the OP, full wipe 3 times...format individual system/data/datadata/cache/dalvik. Haven't tried semaphore, I like devil ever since team nyx's 4.0.3. With this ROM I have never had wifi issues, since v1. Besides the disappearing ringtones, gallery pictures also disappear just leaving online pics...no FC though. I use quikpic so no biggie.

No luck. Actually it it's worse, since before flashing I had access to standard ringtones, those that come with the ROM, but not those which I created by myself. After flashing, all ringtones disappeared. Tried with the ringtones patch, but also no luck.
Next step, it's to find semaphore and flash new kernel. Any clue where I can download it?
Another repeating issue that occurs to me is the FC in the messages app.
EDIT: I've foud Semaphore and flashed it with Odin. I couldn't check if it solved the ringtone issue, since after apply this kernel, I had two severe issues: my screen rotated 90° to the right and the external-sd was not recognized. I've cleared cache, dalvik, fixed permissions and no luck.
Going back to 4.2 by now.

Loving the ROM so far. Finally decided that I don't need most of the customization options offered by other JB roms. however, I do miss the battery percentage. Any way to enable that, maybe through a theme or app?
EDIT: sneaky ba$terds, hiding it in the display options.... Looks awesome now. Found a new fav daily driver!
I installed new devil kernes 1.7.4VC and did not loose sound as others are posting. I wiped cache / dalvik & reboot recovery.
P.S. version 1.7.5 fixes the sound accourding the kernel thread.

I think this must be a common issue, I fixed this by plugging into my pc and safely removing the sd card. but next day same thing .?. I tried to apply a different lockscreen image and it wouldnt load images in gallery .?.
-btw, Love this Rom :highfive: ! It Is Fast. :Thanx Yo: :good:
In a week ive took a Captivate i897 from stock froyo 2.2 to cwmR to Devil kernel 1.6.1 <- which I really like. I first installed CM10 and was satisfied but got to reading around and flashed LAnight 6.5 DD last night (the proper way explained on thread). only played with it for a few hours and loved its speed. But today ran into problem with changing lock screen background image to custom image.
** is there a permanent fix for this, i dont always have my pc with me.
--Also noticed in both CM10 and LAnight 6.5DD, I can only turn on Bluetooth, is there a way to configure it like settings menu in stock froyo .?.
*edit, figured it out, long press WiFi or Bluetooth opens sub menu for settings, DuH. Im a Android Newb.

You don't need to download Devil kernel manager if you don't want to. It's somewhere in the settings (different Lanight versions have it hidden in different places...).
Probably, under settings -> developer options
Or settings -> extras
Or settings -> tvout
Or there's a galaxy s app...
Maybe there are more places I hid it in different versions lol I had to move things and its as unorganized as my rom thread :/

Thank you very much in advance

Very weird problem when on lanlight (or any JB rom)
I installed V6.5DD using the exact method you wrote on the OP. I was coming from CM9, it booted up correctly and everything works great except three things: 1) i have no lock screen (it is checked) 2) I don't get any notifications, whatsoever(i can pull it down, but i hear an email or sms come in and nothing appears) 3) when i hold the home button the recent apps don't show.
I formatted everything again and re flashed, same exact problem.
What should i do? everything worked well on cm9
please help if you can.
I installed different JB roms and none worked.
I decided to go back to CM9, and guess what? none of those thing i outlined works.
It looks i have to odin back to stock. Can anyone please help me
sincerely,

Congrats on the new rom Mega. I haven't flashed it yet. But, I'm 99.99999999% sure you won't be able to get permissive mode on stock kernel. I've tried odined COD6 stock and a COD6 custom rom (both with stock kernel) and permissive was unobtainable. I then installed Bioshock 3.6 kernel on the custom rom and permissive is enabled by default. So, I'm sure it is a stock kernel issue. I strongly prefer using a stock kernel. So, I am hoping there is some other workaround to permissive mode. I can live without WLD (which needs permissive mode). But, I really really like Viper (which also requires permissive mode to work right.

YES me too!! I really love using kitkat from you ! I am hoping and hoping that once this whole permissive mode is solved, I can get back to using Viper. Without viper, I feel like I am missing something on my phone. Thank you again for your hard work , dedication, and love for andriod!
Home Button
I seem to be having some issues with my home button. It stops working and if I hit the menu key I can then hit the home button to go to the home screen. Any ideas?
Wiped full phone (including full internal data), then flashed, set up as a new device, wiped SD, and used Titanium Backup to load my apps.
SuperSU Prompt is turned off, and everything else is working great.

If your home button is mechanically defective you can use a launcher
like Go Launcher or most any other launcher which has the option to
simulate the home button with swiping or double tapping the screen.
Most all the launchers like apex/go/adw and many others have the option.
Good luck!

Yeah. One reason I flashed it was because I take a ton of pictures. If anything helps take them better I try it. Says in the op that it was an overhauled camera. So I definitely wanted it. But if there is a difference I can't really notice it. Unless I'm using the wrong settings
