Hi all,
I want to flash a custom ROM on my Captivate Glide, but I can not find any step-by-step instructions for that.
For example, the INC3PTION ROM Installation guide says:
3: Boot into CWM - HOW? Is this "Rom manager" by ClockworkMod or something else?
Thanks!
U first need odin and the cwm md5 tar.. open odin put in the pda slot and make sure auto reboot is only checked... start and let it run. Then u should have cwm... make a back up b4 u flash any rom and ur good to go... anymore questions just ask

Thanks SO much for your responses, very useful!
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the menu buttons on the Captivate Glide to behave like notification LEDs? I know this hack is available for other phones, so just wondering if anyone has this working on our model?
Cheers!

u can always use the thanks button as well to
Notification
Me 3!
I was also annoyed at the lack of a notification LED.
There are some apps in the market that ring/vib every few minutes if you have an unread msg/email/missed call etc.
If you have the Tasker app, there is a profile called Notification Reminder on the Tasker Wiki that does this.
Good luck all!

I use NoLED from the Google store.
It uses the screen not the menu buttons, is very configurable and works pretty well.
The screen is kept mostly black to reduce battery drain.

Would you ever need anything extra to do that? Just flash it and thats it?
I was cool with the ICS upgrade and then realized why I hated the phone when I first got it. NO LED NOTIFICATION!!!!!!
Well its minor. Is there a way to make the BLNK app to work without rooting the phone, or changing the Kernel?
And also, shame on Samsung for not even making this thing built into the dam phone or ROM. Thats why I love CM7/CM9. All those features are built in.

You can try NoLed application from the Play Store. It works great for me.

by chance is there an app that utilizes the soft buttons at the bottom of the phone and have them illuminate as a led replacement?

BLN but you have to be using a kernel with BLN support.

One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
I found an app called Display brightness that can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness
Gonna check it out, thanks
Holy crap that is awesome! Works on AT&T gs3. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Have to play with where I want it tho because it can interfere with the keyboard

Yeah its the best I've been able to find so far. Not sure why Sammy removed it from this phone but the app works. Finding a good spot to place it is key
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Feel kinda dumb right now, I see the indicator but how do I actually change the brightness?
Edit: I guess the bar was too thin. Once I made it thicker I was able to adjust it. Thanks guys
International version just got an OTA update that includes a brightness slider in the notification pull down. As well as adjustments to the minimum brightness for auto brightness
just tried this, and it is pretty awesome!
If you set all the transparencies to 0%, it works exactly like the stock s2 slider...except you can put this on any side you want. The key is figuring out where exactly to slide your fingers to get it to work consistently, but once you do its pretty awesome.
AAAA+++ Sweet!
very nice find. Works perfect.

Glad a few of you are finding it useful ! I still wish Samsung didn't remove it and not sure why they did. Every now and then I hit the brightness line by accident so I might try and put it in a different area of the screen to see which is the best place. That's the only tricky part. It is a nice app though as an alternative.

Hopefully we get it in us versions of the international just got an update with the feature back on the notification, maybe they forgot about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Oh nice I didn't know that. I had the international for a week until I sold to try the LTE and just know it wasn't there on either. Also on my sgs2 one of the newer firmwares removed it as well a figured it was intentional and too much trouble to add it. I hope you're right

Can anyone confirm if the OTA updates on some of the American carriers added the brightness slider in notification bar like the update did on i9300? Or did the update only remove universal search ?

there is actually already code in the tw_status_bar_extended.xml for this. it just isn't active. i noticed it when i was poking around there for my theme.
Just download notification toggles app free from the market it has a ton of options. Will solve the brightness toggle issue plus you can add short cuts to apps, reboot menu and a bunch more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Awesome app! I almost hope that the brightness slider doesn't get added to the notifications window...there's already a lot up there.
It seems some on i9300 forums are not liking the brightness slider added in a release and some are requesting devs to remove from roms. I'll keep this app for now as I think its great

I dont believe its actually on the pulldown.. in previous tw versions you just slide across the status bar to the right to go up and down.. i may be wrong about the new brightness alider though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
This is really great. It's really convenient to set all the transparency settings to "0%" and hiding the slider at the bottom of the homescreen - just slide above the home button to adjust the brightness!
Edit: It works on the lockscreen too - wow!
I seem to be having issues running Tasker on CM10. It doesn't crash and it says the profiles are running but it doesn't do anything.
Is anyone rocking the Tasker on CM10?
Thanks.

Works fine over here on CM10. Enabling/Disabling GPS doesn't work, but silencing the phone on a schedule and opening Spotify when headphones are plugged in works just fine.

Create a Profile that activates when the app is started, ending when the application exits. Start task should be auto brightness off, set brightness to 255. End task just turns auto brightness back on.

How is your task set up? And it also works to enable lux auto brightness at night so I would assume it can adjust brightness overall.

If your screen is set to auto brightness, you need to turn that off before it can be manually adjusted. Your profile should look something like this:
Starting YouTube:
Auto brightness: Off
Brightness: 255
Ending YouTube:
Auto brightness: On

I did what you said and it does not work. I even turn the auto screen off and ran it with no success.
I should try other profiles to see if it is me not knowing how to create them or the app or something.
What other profiles do you find yourself running.

I haven't made one yet but I'll probably make an auto sync toggle profile to sync mail, etc. I've been looking for some battery savers but last time I tried to disable data a la JuiceDefender I stopped receiving texts for some weird reason.
That's odd. I know for a fact the brightness adjustments work. I'm using the latest CM10. I just built a profile for the YouTube app and it works as expected.
Check attached images. Also, be sure the profile is enabled (green check mark), and that Tasker is on (On button, bottom right corner of screen).

What bothers me is that when I open YouTube, Tasker says that is running the profile but the screen brightness does not change at all. I will reinstall and see if it works and let you know.
I'm running CM10 8-14 version as it runs smooth with no flickering. I'm also running Justin bean inverted g apps, could that be the problem?

In your latest post with attachments, post #11, here is what you are telling Tasker to do:
1: When YouTube app starts, Autobrightness Off (don't know what this task contains, as there is no screenshot of it).
2. When YouTube app closes, Brightness set to 255.
Your profile still doesn't match my attached pictures on page one (or you haven't uploaded new screenshots). Make it identical to mine.
If it still doesn't work, I suspect its your version of CM10. Update it. I know that's not the answer you want, but if the above doesn't work, that's the only one left.

That's for all the help but it didn't work and I did exactly as you suggested. Take a look. It shows as running but it is not turning off the auto brightness. I have tried turning it manually before running the Tasker with no success.
I guess I'll just give it another try once I update the cm10 but I'm happy with the older version and wouldn't want to risk getting all the problem(flickering, echoes, call delay) present on the newer versions.
What version are you on?

Always running the latest version. Echoes and call delay were fixed last week. The only flickering that bothers me, is that when I exit certain applications (like Apparatus), the screen has a brightness seizure for a couple seconds. The other flickers look like a redraw; nitpicking. You can always nandroid the current install.

yeah in my GPS on/off profile it always spazzes out at random intervals. and even though i have the profiles connected to cell towers and not GPS or Net, im pretty convinced it's somehow draining my battery. i had no real issues with CM10 (aside from the documented flicker and call delay) until i installed and started trying to use Tasker. now the GPS is glitchy, the vibration turns on/off at random times, so does the wifi and worst yet, actual cell reception gets knocked out altogether. i've triple checked my settings and i know it's not the profiles themselves. i really hope the stable version of CM10 will play nice with Tasker because its such a sweet app.
For GPS, install Secure Settings. It's free and in Play Store. Never have an issue with it controlling GPS from Tasker.

I've just upgraded from the original Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
On my old Tab if there was a notification that was too long to fit on the screen I could long press on the notification and it would begin to scroll right to left allowing me to read the whole message. On my shiny new super phone that long press no longer works (instead it brings up a button for App Info which is no help at all!)
Is there a way to read the whole of a notification without having to go to launch the app associated with it?
Thanks!
In 4.1 JB you have to put two fingers on it and slide down to expand the notification. Although it doesn't work for all notifications.

Thanks for the reply.
That seems to work for Gmail but not for Pulse and if there is more than one email then the expanded version is basically no better than the unexpanded version. You still need to go from the notification screen to the Gmail inbox to see any of the message.
Seems a bit of a step backwards from the older version on Android.
