[Q] Important captivate question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hii,
this is my first post, but with some exp. In android development.
So whenever I flash cm10 based roms(slim bean, helly bean). The most important problem I face in these ROMs is that whenever I'm using apps like dolphin, web, or any other (games...) my phone turns off and then I try to turn it on (turns on with the charger mostly), the battery drops to 0%.
This doesn't happen to me on stock rom, but I don't want to flash stock ROM. IDK what is the problem. If anybody faced this or anybody who knows about this issue is most welcomed to answer.
BTW I love the look and the speed of Slim Bean or Helly Bean...
But facing this problem in both of them.
The phone is brand new, also with my old captivate used to have this problem with these ROMs.
Right now I've Slim Bean.
Help plz!!
Thanks.

Are you using any type of backup to to add all your apps messages contacts etc. back? Same thing happened to me going back and forth from salty bean and paranoid droid. I was able to fix it by reinstalling everything from the market onto my paranoid droid and creating a back up of each ROM
Captivate /Salty Bean 4.1.2

No, I am not backing up apps.
I just restore contacts from gmail.
Nothing else.

Galaxy note boot up is driving me nuts!!

So I was on iMilkas rom for a bit. I decided that I really needed Skype and netflix to work so I went back to stock for a bit while I decided what to do. Everything went back fine. However whenever I reboot my phone it plays a tune over and over for about let's say, 6 MINUTES!!! It loops over and over and over. I go into my sounds and my default ringer is set properly and my notification sound is set. (neither is this annoying tune btw). Any ideas why this phone keeps doing it. Also I swear it gets a little longer with every reboot.
version: 2.3.6
baseband: DDLB1
kernel: DDLB2
oh and the song it repeats over and over is the one of the defaults: "Over the Horizon"
Does sound like a funny bug. I swear I heard something similar a month or so ago and a reflash of the rom solved it. Someone may be able to determine the exact problem for you though

Symptoms of improper flashing mate.Try factory reset if it doesnt work try to reflash the rom again
hard reset it or flash it again
Man I was hoping that wouldn't be the best solution although in the back of my head I think it is. Considering this, I might just downgrade again and re-enable root so I can restore with TB. Since this is where I'm heading I guess i'll spend the rest of my time in the developer forum finding the most suitable rom to jump on board with. Any suggestions from people on GB roms? ( I can't go to ics as I need Skype to work for "work".
Best rom to go with is rocketrom v22 its a gb rom and you can get the ics look with a matching theme put franco kernel 9 and you are ready to roll into awesomeness!!
rocket rom comes in miui theme by default but in the opening post of the rom u will find a perfect ics theme to go with!!
the best combo is rocket rom plus ics theme plus franco kernel
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
I've seen similar problems mentioned with early versons of SuperSU.
have you updated to this recently?
some were able to resolve the issue by disabling the notification toasts, and/or granting SU access as default.
I installed MIDNOTE 2.0 yesterday and I must say that it is a flawless ICS rom. I dont have any problems at all!!!

[Q] Is it worth upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1?

I currently have SlimBean 2.9 on my I9000. Everything runs very well and I have not had any problems at all.
Having said that, I am wondering if it is worth upgrading to a 4.2.1 ROM. This is where I need some help. In your own experiences/opinions, are there any noticeable performance improvements in 4.2.1 over 4.1.2? Is it worth doing an entire wipe followed by the pain in the backside of restoring apps, settings, etc? Or should I just stick with 4.1.2?
Thanks in advance
I am also on SlimBean but 3.1, yesterday I was on the latest HellyBean and i think at the moment the 4.1 Rom have the better performance than 4.2. If you want a smooth stable and fast phone stay on SlimBean.
You also can make a nandroid and try a 4.2 and if you don't like you can restore.

[Q] MIUI 2.3.30 on Nexus One...

Hey guys, I've been coming to XDA-Dev since I started getting Android devices. You guys have helped me hack my Kindle Fire to have ICS runing on it, my Nexus 7 running a custom ROM, my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 running a custom ROM and now my Nexus One is running a custom ROM.
Now I've tried all sorts of roms on my Nexus One. The stock rom doesn't cut it for me but I don't want to deal with the camera bugs with any form of ICS or JB rom that's running... I then came across MIUI. Never heard of it but took a chance. I LOVE IT. Problem is, it is constantly force closing apps. I have Blackrose installed, I have Mounts2SD running to my 8gb class 10 sd card (parition 1gb). And it's ok at first but within a couple of days it starts to have all sorts of problems. Pretty much everything has failed from Gapps to the mms service, it's locked up while taking images too.
Any ideas on what might be causing this problem? I've used ROM Manager to fix permissions as I read that it could be the problem. That fixed the gapps problem but I'm still getting the odd force close, sometimes where I have to remove the battery to get it to boot again. I've tried QND MIUI 2.3.30r4 and I've also tried the official 2.3.30 from the MIUI site but they both seem to have the same problems. I'm currently running the latter.
Thanks in advance!
A little late but....

Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42074948&postcount=2091 .. its for Jellybean 4.2 (Jellyshot) but if you nandroid first , you should be ok..
ACtually just switch to Jelly shot , It's better than stock 4.1.1 (I think)..
Thanks for replying mate... in what ways do you think jelly shot is better than stock? Ill need the pros and cons before I switch from the already very stable stock towards another rom... thanks

Actually I would want to stick onto stock because of it's reliability and stability... isn't there a legit way for porting inverted versions of messaging and contacts and the calendar?
Sent from my Nexus S using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Hi, you could flash a rom that has themes enabled in it, and install a black theme from PlayStore, such as black exodus .
I would recommend CyanogenMod 10.1 ReleaseCandidate, they are really stable, and offer far better experience than stock android.
About pros and cons, do a nandroid of your stock android and try CM10.1 If you do this dont forget to flash latest JB Gapps

The reason you are having problems is because you are on stock with odex apks. Stock ROMs applications have odex files which is supposed to allow for faster booting of applications. Custom ROMs have deodexed apps which allows for customization and theming. If you want the inverted apps you will need to flash a custom deodexed rom. I have been running the latest CM-RC5 with inverted gapps with absolutely no stability issues.
If you want to theme and customize apps, simply make a nandroid backup of your stock rom and start flashing ROMS available for your phone. The possibilities for customization are just not there for stock rooted phones.
Good luck:good:

IMHO,
The custom Rom that nearly to stock is Rasbeanjelly, the most smooth and stable I thought. And that Rom also already has the black contact, mms and calendar.

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
