Glide Now Rooted...Now How About Mods?

So I don't have the phone, but I am interested, hence I have been following the whole rooting process, etc.
Simply put, as the phone has now been rooted, has anybody tried any of the standard Captivate ROMs yet? In particular, anybody try the Captivate ROM for Cyanogenmod on the Captivate Glide?
I gather it won't work seeing as how the underlying hardware is different (Hummingbird on the Captivate VS. Tegra 2 on the Captivate Glide), but who knows...
I'd try but I don't have the phone...yet

I am 99.9% Sure it will not work without any modification. The hardware of the glide is very different from the original captivate.

it will require different kernel at MINIMUM.plus hardware keyboard driver, open/close switch .... other drivers different as well...

What would be the procedure for getting CWM to work on this phone and do you think we will ever see something like CyanogenMod or a port of ICS on this phone?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the original Captivate never got an official gingerbread release from AT&T.
So my confidence in AT&T is pretty low.

Not really a full mod but someone who knows how to remove all the preloaded crap on it should release a clean rom.

Aside from loading a custom launcher or us getting a vanilla ROM,
Any way to adjust the 4 bottom nav icons with different ones?

much needed vanilla rom if you will

Battery Icon mod.
I have figured out how to change the battery icon in the status bar to show the percentage. the phone is programed to only show in 5% increments, but it't better that guessing!
I have posted a MOD thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396655
Please check it out and provide some feedback.
Thanks.

I got to change my icons, including the battery icon to a 5% increment one with rom toolbox very useful app!

I will try to make an BLN activated kernel. So the Touch-Key-LEDs can be used! Without optical notification I can't use the phone. I really need it.

Get this: NoLED
It's better than any notification light, and since our screens are OLED, only the icon area draws power. I've noticed no significant battery loss.

CM9 power drainer vs. ICS LEAK

Has anybody else noticed that CM9 has horrible battery life compared to the flash able ics by hono? Kinda weird. Is there a reason for it?
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA

It's the other way around for me...ics leak and hono ics had horrible battery life, had to recharge about every 4 or 5 hrs. Back to running CM9 and I'm at 68% from full charge after 9hrs. I like that CM9 let's you change between 4g/3g/2g. I keep edge on at work which saves a substantial amount of power then I switch to 3g/hsdpa+ when I'm ready to use data. I hated that I couldn't do that with the ics leaks

What I did today is in "developer options" pur "force GPU rendering" on and in "Performance" checked "surface dithering" off. Didn't tested for long but hope it helps
Indeed, why we could possibly needed "dithering improves image quality om some displays @ the cost of performance" when we have best display on the market? and we force our CPU to make antialyasing and drain power for no reason

No, when it jumps out at 4% it boots ics, when it gets done booting ics the percentage jumps to 90%. After it slowly counts to 100% then it claims to be done, with the phone still running ics...

Is installing Swype beta for ICS leak possible?
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and have just upgraded my LG nitro HD to the ICS leak successfully. :good:
I installed swype beta without problems, but when I want to use swype I can't seem to select swype as my chosen keyboard.
I've tried two things:
1. In "language and input" under settings, the android keyboard and the lg keyboard are ticked and greyed out and i can't untick them.
2. When long clicking in a text field, there is no option for me to choose between keyboards.
I would appreciate any help on getting swype to work properly on the ICS leak.
cheers

I had a lot of issues with Swype and the leak. The easy part was selecting Swype. Anytime your keyboard comes up in ICS, a notification pops up in your notification bar. Use that to switch keyboards.
My problem was finding a version of Swype that worked correctly in ICS at high resolution. Google "Swype_beta.ics_v3.26.92.38303_0.apk" for the version that worked best for me. Sometimes I still had to rotate it to landscape then back to portrait for it to display correctly.

Hit the "Edit" button in the notification bar, and then hit the little icon in the top right corner that looks like a check mark with three horizontal lines in the screen that comes up.. You can add and remove a whole slew of different toggles. It's stupidly designed and not documented at all, but it's definitely there.

Hi JINXR, thanks a lot for your fast reply and for solving my problem.
I tried your first suggestion and looked at the notification pop up in the notification bar. I was then able to easily switch between keyboards.
Thanks a lot, love my swype
P.s. For everyone else having trouble installing the swype beta version
I've installed and working successfully version 1.0.3.5809 which, I think, is a fairly recent version (June 2012)
The process that I followed to get working swype was
go to the swype beta homepage with your phone browser (I was not allowed to post an external link as a new forum user, sorry)
create a swype account (with your email account that you use on your phone)
download the swype installer and install it on your phone (allow foreign applications in settings, if prompted)
open the swype installer and, when prompted, log in with your swype account details to download and install the latest version of swype
after successful install, enable swype by ticking the swype box under language & input settings
that should successfully install swype on your LG Nitro HD with the ICS leak
to switch to the swype keyboard when writing a message just do as JINXR suggests

Just prepping, I want to do the most stable paranoid android build out and get into some phablet action. Where can I get the install files for the 3/15 version, it sounds like thats the most stable at this point, any suggestions or points to the contrary, but most importantly where can I find the basic files for the 3/15 and whatever else you need to get from stock ui to PA... Any tips are so greatly appreciated, seriously. XDA love..
Just need to be pointed in the right direction, need full camera/main functions to maintain functionality so whats the way to go for stable tablet style PLEASE HELPPP, LOL
Sincere sincere thanks from an overworked and slightly behind the curve but loyal and dedicated Android user.

S3 lockups and LTE?
Hi
I put this on my GS3 (I747 AT&T) last night and so far it's pretty good.
I have noticed some weird occasional lockups and reboots, which is find for unofficial rom, I know what I'm getting into.
My other issue is that it seems to prefer 3G, HSDA, or HSDA+ over LTE even though I'm in a market with extensive LTE coverage. Is there any way to "weight" this?
Also the on-screen soft keys seem redundant, is there a way to disable them without disabling the status bar (PIE mode hides both)?
Thanks!

Lockups and reboots are kernel related you can try flashing another kernel (or wait for an update) I use this. It's the 4/09 All-Star Devs Kernel. You have to make sure if you flash a kernel not to go any newer than 4/09/13 or it won't work this this ROM until it gets updated.
Make sure your APN settings are correct, make sure LTE is selected in your settings and if all else fails do a Speed Test to check your speeds.
You can disable Nav Bar (Bottom) Settings > Hybrid Properties > Nav Bar 0% Apply and reboot if it prompts for it.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot!

Actually, I have noticed the same thing for me, only in the past two days.. Specifically: random sleeps of death with no regularity, and when trying to use Spotify, or I Heart Radio when plugged into my headphones (Samsung set that came with the phone) phone will not play music through the app, but it will work just fine when plugged into an aux cable... I have changed nothing in my kernel settings, or system settings since things settled down.
Very strange.

Thanks I was having some problems that kernel seem to fix them.

I'm on the latest version of Paranoid Android. I've been experiencing this weird noise. It happens when the phone is placed down or just the screen turning on or off.

Simple answer:
The instructions are simply telling you to make sure that you have the most recent recovery for your device is installed, and if not, to install it. Oftentimes not having an updated recovery is what causes the Status 7 errors when trying to flash new ROMs.

Other than the updated kernel and displays drivers there is no difference in roms. Regardless if it'll work it won't give you anything you don't already have.

Stock 4.1.2 (MF1) - What's changed / observations

After a clean ODIN install, some comments on the new MF1:
PROS
+ Multi-window support - works as you'd expect... not sure how useful it will be
+ AllShare Cast toggle added - I actually use ASC so this is useful to me
+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled)
Neutral
> New gallery UI
> New free-form drawing/painting app
> Group Play now a separate app
Cons
- Maybe just me, but noticeably more UI stutter than the last 4.1.1 (LK4)... curious if others notice this

Buttery smooth on mine. Display still reads LTE on Sasktel.
Largest change for me is findmymobile works now. It wasn't working for me on 4.1.1

I'm on Rogers and it still shows LTE.
Everything is quite smooth so far.
It seems to me the camera is a little snappier than before. Just an illusion or someone else is feeling the same?

Haven't done it myself yet I would guess that CF-root through odin is the way to go. Or mobile odin pro.

Maybe only Bell switched to 4G naming.
New camera scene mode added: "best face". Though it doesn't seem to work all that well IMHO.
And after starting over with another clean install, the animations throughout the OS still seem less smooth than the last 4.1.1. Oh well - back to LK4 for me.

If you flash the telus firmware you will get the 4g logo instead of the lte logo, this has nothing to do with to carrier.

I see you posting in just about any 4.1.2 thread there is and it's been said all over the place : if you're on AT&T and you want to flash a canadian version ROM, then you have to either not flash the modem using Mobile Odin or else, flash the LK3 modem from your old AT&T 4.1.1 ROM afterwards using CWM or TWRP.
Please read carefully before attempting to flash anything on your phone.
Especially if you're not familiar with the process.

Looks good... took quite a bit of reboots for the multi window thing to start working though?

It seems that people have a hard time rooting phones.
I root mine in 2 easy steps.
Step 1 = Flash CWM Recovery via Odin onto phone.
Step 2 = Flash a custom zip file that installs Superuser onto the system/apps.
That is it. Very easy.

Agreed that's always how I have done it i the past too. Since my last rot, CASUAL was developed, so I thought I'd try it out and found it very basic and easy and with less steps than the root through Odin that noobies sometimes find harder, hence my earlier reply. Now of course if CASUAL causes issues and hangs, Odin flash always works as you suggest.

Gallery changed
I noticed the gallery is different. I kinda like it, except the pics from my external micro SDHC card doesn't show up in there anymore. Is there any way to change that? I haven't figure it out yet...
Thanks!
Nevermind, I backed up all the pictures. Formatted the card, and reloaded it back onto the memory card and it worked after.

But I was sure there was a way to fix it somehow. As soon as I had the phobe in my hands I saw how horrible it was.....It did not let me do anything not even for 30 seconds without the menu, back buttons, and I was upset because since I had to reinstall a new ROM on this phone (which I don't mind that's the fun part) but the keys kept going off every couple of seconds so I decided to look into finding a way to fix it and I did kinda. And I will post the link to the first one too because it can be useful and work for someone else and if it wasn't fir that post I wouldn't have thought of my fix.
Anyway here is the link to the first one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I followed these steps and basically what it is, is a method where you disable your hardkey that is causing you problems and switching it to the search button since most of us really don't use the search key anyway. But I won't go much into detail the post above goes more in depth. In the beginning it actually worked but then I noticed that the back key started pressing itself and then the menu still presses itself and even now and the search button which was converted to the new menu so I got upset and exasparated because to even do this method took me literally 2 hours because the damn keys wouldn't stop pressing themselves. And then I thought of another method which to me proved easier than that and does work. I simply used the same method but when I got to the General.kl instead of disabling one key I disabled all 4 and bang problem solved! But BEFORE that you need to make sure you have already installed an app where you can get your hardkeys on your screen and set it up to where you kniw your keys all work * OH AND YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THE SETTINGS FOR MENU AND BACK WORK! *. And I found a really good and free app in the market that is easy to use and wont get in the way of your screen while typing and customizable. It is called "Floating Toucher" and once installed and set up and disabled keys in General.kl and rebooted phone everything was working fine!!!! AND IT WORKED JUST FINE YOU JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO NOT TOUCHING KEYS ANYMORE AS THEY DON'T WORK BUT ITS TRUSTHWORTHY!....
Anyway I when all this happened I had GB27 4.1.2 and I wanted an upgrade so I flashed to Revolt JB ROM 4.3.1 (will post link to this ROM if you are interested in this method) and after that because the phone reset itself the hardkeys were enabled again. So because I it was a new ROM for me I looked in depth at their settings and there is where I found my solution!
1. Go to your settings and you go to Revolt Control.
2. When you are there you will see they have extra settings for the phone.
3. Scroll down to: Pie Controls
4. Click on the first setting that says: Pie Controls/ Allows navagation and status report and enable it.
5. Customize the settings how you want then to be to your liking!
6. Go back to previous menu.
7. Scroll down to: Soft Keys Options
8. Click on: Enable Soft Keys Options
9. You will notice all four of your hard keys are there including the setting when you long press them. Simply click on each one and press blank on all of them.
10. Then you go to previous screen and reboot and there! Easier than having to install over apps or disable keys! Its in the settings already and I am extemely happy now! No more Phantom Ghost Key!!!

And I hope this helps someone!

Man, you have a lot of patience posting a guide in a wrong device forum... You link to a ReVolt ROM for HTC Rezound, and here we have Samsung Epic 4G, which doesn't have ReVolt at all (all we have is a buggy CM10.2).

Still the wrong device forum... You have an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710). This forum is for Epic 4G (SPH-D700), a totally different device with a slide-out keyboard. There's a separate forum for your device.
Sorry if all these sound rude, I simply wanna guide you to the right place

OHHHHHHH I SEE I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFEEENT S2 MODELS AND WHAT NOW!!! Honestly it was much harder when I first trying to even learn about root and try..... Before this phone was a BOOST Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST and proper files to flash was extremely hard to find. But I flashed it to Sprint and it was slightly easier then. But yea I do continue to get confused with these names especially cuz those 2 sound so similar. ...darnit !
Well I looked for their forum and its under maintenance so I have to wait....
Sorry for the mistake!
And no you're not being rude in the least thank you sooooo much !!!!
