Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X1]

I got status 7 error while install this rom
Fully wiped data and cache
I was on latest shostock3 rom and want to try this rom
Can anyone helps?

You can do what he said. I DL'ed slim bean. Flashed that, then wiped then flashed this ROM.

sephhi, you have done great job! IMO "Captivating" may be the best user experience someone will ever see on i777 ( unless something great comes out! again from you :p:p:p) Thanks very much!

i'd second you on this bro... was selling off my phone before this rom... every rom else kinda seemed alike but captivating... its another story of looks and features both! :good:

well this is coming from an old fan of sepphie's work, and you ppl can count on this rom as sepphie has a bad habit of updating his already up to the mark work, spank an update every week (some times twice in a week lol) with some thing really cool and out of the box each time... i don't have a f-ing clue how do he manage all that!! :cyclops:

p.s. captivating gives lifestyle to the phone!!! :)

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X1]

Yeah I'm a little late to the party but I too like the ROM for it's a nice change from what's been available lately. I did have a little hiccup though, coming from Omega I did a full wipe and the ROM flashed just fine. But while going through my setup, after having read about possible issues with tibu restoring, I decided to run a fix permissions script through ROM toolbox in lieu of flashing the other gapps package, that went fine but since I let Google restore a few apps during the initial boot sequence I decided to run a zip-align apps script also... big mistake! Boot loop city! I tried to wipe and no go, tried to flash AJK...still no go, I even tried to back up the looping ROM and then restore it but still looping. Finally I just reflashed the ROM with cache wipe and I got it back in the already setup state I had! Should've tried that first but anyway great ROM and still not too sure what caused the zip align script to loop the boot but I don't recommend it.

The rom has it's own zipaligner so that's probably why.
Lots and lots of tweaks are baked into the rom so third party scripts such as pimp my rom etc are not recommended.
It's very finely tuned so if you have personal tweaks you like to use, just run them by me. I can integrate them in a safe way.

Nice rom.. No problem since last night I flashed
But I'm missing something
There wasn't SIM toolkit anymore
IS there any way to get SIM toolkit back?
