hi you all...
first of all i have to thanks all the devs that help people with their mods...
I have a few questions that maybe someone else can have them too...
- What is the difference (it terms of capcability to be modded) between stock JPY and Doc's or other cooker JPY?
- i tryed a few mods and some of them "kill" my phone soo i have to reflash the stock rom... most of them related to battery % (i think that could be related to the mod be designed for modded roms)
- what mods do you recommend to stock ROM... (i'm searching for extended power menu, and 4 locks... since i already have android stock lock and % at battery indicator)... i'm also searching for ginger battery indicator with %.
- should i change (and how to) to a modded ROM?
I do some research before make this post, but i think that could be a very good help to people who have the stock rom.
Thanks and Regards,
Carlos

Stock is as came from the factory cooked roms have been changed in one way or the other generally for better usage .

If a mod killed your phone you have done something wrong more often than not
- what mods do you recommend to stock ROM... (i'm searching for extended power menu, and 4 locks... since i already have android stock lock and % at battery indicator)... i'm also searching for ginger battery indicator with %.
Just read the main posts is all you can do see what is being offered in each rom .
- should i change (and how to) to a modded ROM?
I do some research before make this post, but i think that could be a very good help to people who have the stock rom.
Again its all written in the main posts . All how to posts are on the front page of roms and main how to are all stickys .

I know-all that. But I ask for help so if you wanna help good, if you not, please don' t reply. It's all very simple for you, but I made this thread with the intention of merge all info on one post.
About the kill, I know I don't do anything wrong, simply the mod was probably designed for deodex ROM and original ROM is odex

Serendipity 5.10 + Da_g GPS Fix?
Hello,
I'm a new comer to this Forum (aka noob )... Since last week I've been flashing different ROMs to my Captivate, always looking for a workable GPS on them.
I tried most of them, liked Serendipity the most, however I cannot make the GPS to work! I was reading the Da_g GPS fix, however I didn't look anyone there testing in on the Serendipity ROM. Has anyone tried the Serendipity + Da_g GPS Fix? Is it possible? Is there other way to make the GPS work on Serendipity that I'm skipping?
Another question, why does the Labs Test Mode Secret Code doesn't work on the Serendipity ROM?
Thanks and apologies if the questions are really noobs or asked in other forum.

Cadejos,
First off the GPS on the Captivate will never fully work. We as ROM builders can do the best we can to make it work just slightly better. Serendipity does include some of these GPS fixes.
To get into the lab test mode try Captivate SGS Tools. Here
Hope this has helped!

The GPS works fairly well on Serendipity, for a Captivate, I've had pretty good luck with mapping and navigation. Get the GPSRestore app Samsung put on the market, run it to reset any fiddling you might have done, and then go from there. I had followed Da_g's thread, but the GPS was working ok, so I never ran his fix.

i fixed it for you
First off you guys have done a great job, everything works the way Samsung should have made it work and then some, phone is impressively fast especially since it's not running on 3g network. Although I have only been running serendipity for about a week it's great and my GPS locks within seconds every time.I just want to make sure im not missing something since i'm new to the ROM thing, everyone keeps mentioning making sure the kernal is up to date now I started with serendipity 5.7 and am now running 5.10 do I have to do anything else as far as upgrades go?

Here is the link to the SpeedMod kernel thread. This is the kernel used in the ROM. The kernel is now up to version 13c, the one that comes stock with the ROM is a few versions back. You can flash the newest one with the SGS Kernel Flasher. Download the ODIN version here.

I update the kernel version in the base ROM. If you were to flash the full 5.10, you'd get 13B.
I leave the kernel updates out of the updates since many people don't use speedmod and would have to flash their kernel if choice again after.

Mikey, I wanted to say that I absolutely love your rom. I'm new to the flashing roms but I'm starting to catch on to it a little bit. I love the inverted Gmail, but there is only one issue and was wondering if it could be looked into, it's very hard to tell which is the new email and which is the old email. The only difference I can see on mine is that the black background box is a little darker on the new emails. Is there a way you could make the old email maybe not bold or something. Just anything to distinguish new emails from old besides the darker box (which isn't extremely noticable). Besides that, I can't say enough good things about your rom. Thanks again.

Actually, I was asking about updating the speedmod kernal. I should have quoted the previous post that refers to using sgs kernal flasher with odin version of speedMod kernal.
Yes u can. download the cwm version and flash.

I used Odin and it took me about 2 min.(including downloading ODIN) so not sure if clockword mod would be any different but it was extremely easy to do with ODIN and I'm new to this stuff

I haven't read the other replies to you yet, but have this to offer:
I have found the GPS to work fairly well, but not perfect, with the Serendipity ROM.
However I have given up on expectations of great GPS from the phone natively. What I have done is invest $35 (some are less expensive on eBay) for an external GPS that the phone hooks to via blue tooth, and it provides accuracy down to 3 feet. I'd suggest saving yourself the aggravation and making that investment if you expect to use the GPS much. I only use it for actual navigation. I find the internal GPS is fine for all other things needing GPS.
Here is a link to a thread about using one.

yes it is possible and i do it via cwm. use cwm zip of the kernel (good that now the odin version is in .tar to avoid any confusions and errors)
quiet a few point you shall consider before doing so:-
You may want to change /system back to rfs if you converted it to ext4. It may not flash/install otherwise if you are changing from a different kind of lagfix.
This is my first ROM to flash on my phone, and I really enjoy it. I am overall very happy but there is a few issues I have ran into.
The major one being the "reject with message" feature. It does not work at all. Am I doing anything wrong? does this just not work on serendipity? Let me know if anything can be changed because I really miss this feature.
I also cannot get my e-mail to sync up, but this may be a user error.
If anyone can help me with the reject with message feature, that would be great.

Are you by any chance using Google Voice? I am , and it has never worked with it. (I wish it did).
I'm thinking it may have to do with the Messaging client you are using. I know that there have been various posts about loading different messaging, due to various issues. Haven't seen this one mentioned before though.
I am using the stock messenger that came with the flash. If this is an issue with just this client, any opinions on what I should use? I really didnt have a problem with the samsung messenger, but I have heard good things about other clients
Hi all, I'm hopelessly looking for Apps2sd for my device
I have it for two days now, installed a bit more then 10 apps and its already complaining
Since there are no custom roms available yet, it would really help me out if I can get apps2sd working.
I tried flashing the latest version of darktremor's apps2sd script but it produces an error that amended scripting is not working or something similar.
Anyone an idea if I can get this working on my brand new device?
Thanks!!
Stock kernel doesn't support ext4 and init.d - not possible to use any a2sd. You need a custom kernel. Second - wrong section!
Thanks for the response and sorry for posting in the wrong section !
So lets wait for a custom kernel then..
Mods, please remove this thread. thanks!
Questions should be posted in Q&A section!
Moved.
Hello! I've taken an interest in kernel and rom development, so I'd appreciate it if someone could give me tips and/or link/write tutorials that explains things about kernel modification (overclocking, bug fixing etc), custom rom making (how to add features, bug fixing etc).
Also is it possible to update/make a newer kernel from the source, like source is available for 4.5, would it be possible to update it to 4.6?
Any help/tip/tutorial is appreciated.
Ps: I don't know if this thread belongs here, as I'm new here.
Thanks, .
