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
Darkyy

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.
Hi,
Can anyone help me out, i recently installed the new cm7 RC1 for INCs...yesterday i disable the flash function in the camera...and now when i switch it on it doesnt come on at all!
I have used a torch app to see that the back led is still functional, but no camera apps seem to be able to enable it.
how anyone else had the same problem and fixed it?
--want to delete this thread!!-- please ignore and mods could you delete please
hi there guys, before you ask, i've already searched the forums for solutions to my problem without any success, or even finding an answer did not apply to my device or it would not work.
I flashed CM9.1 stable since it was released, BLN worked great, I even got the chance to test between D3vil and semaphore kernels (kept D3vil), and didnt have any issues. Then one day I realized that my notifications did not generate blinking even when the blinking was on on BLN Pro and in the kernels config apps
I tried fiddling with the BLN Pro app, and kernel config app (both, devil script manager and NSTools) and did not solve the issue, then unninstaled BLN and tried again, nothing. reinstaled BLN, nothing. Re-flashed kernel in the same version, nothing. unninstaled BLN again and reflashed kernel, nothing. Changed kernel to semaphore, nothing. upgraded D3vil kernel from 1.3.x to 1.4.1, also tried the two versions of the d3vil kernel the one with CMC and the one with VC nothing.
I tried to mmake it work in any way i knew possible, BUT, when testing in the BLN app in the option to test the blinking, it did not work, also used a friends phone to send me messages, no dice.
At this point I dont know what else to do, if someone is having or had the same issue and found a solution please let me know, i really use the BLN function because i leave my phone away from me all the time (and often with dirty hands) and its easier just to look at it that getting the phone after cleaning my hands and having to wake it to see if there are any new notifications, that its why is so important to me.
If you need any other details in order to help me dont mind asking.
Thanks. downhiller900sl
Phone: GT-i9000
ROM: CM9.1
Kernel: D3vil 1.4.1
Greetings.
I´m quite stuck between a rock and a hard place here. I have Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G and am running out of options what to do with it. Long story short:
1. I can´t use CM9 because of the battery bug.
2. I can´t use CM10 because my clock doesn´t work when screen is off.
3. I can´t use CM 10.1 as there is not a version for the 3G.
However, I´m not picky on the actual OS- my only wish is to have access to the various settings CM has. Stuff like adjustable backlight, app- kill- button, USB charging, notification power menu, etc. But as far as I´m concerned, these are kernel- related stuff and not the actual OS...or I am wrong? So, could I technically run another kernel with e.g. stock ROM and still get access to the settings I mentioned? Or could I use a different kernel with CM9 (to eliminate the battery bug) or CM10 (to get the clock working...or does it have anything to do with kernel?)
I was thinking of trying the Icebolt kernel with C10 if that would fix my clock, yet I realized that it´s only for 10.1.
Would someone help me with a working combination here? I can´t basically find any info which kernels go with which ROMs and which combinations will brick/destroy/eat/explode/nuke my Tab.
At first it was working fine, now it's not. Whether I turn the notification LED option on/off, it does not work when getting a missed call or sms message.
Any setting perhaps might cause it not to work? Any ideas?
Thanks to anyone who can assist.
1 - Are u on an official ROM or Custom ROM ?
2 - Did u install an app who can manage led or something like that ?
3 - Did u try a factory reset or a backup restore before issue ?

I'm on the custom Rom Epic Pro Stable 7.0. I did not try doing any factory reset or backup as the notification LED bug is the only bug experienced.
Even though the option is turned on and I've even assigned different notification colours, nothing works.
I have no such app for managing the led, only using the default one...
