Thanks, but that is the one with the bootloader built in. Also the first link I gave. I was looking for the odin tar without the bootloaders. found it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
just make sure NOT to use this version AFTER you have flashed C5 with bootloaders. That is what seemed to have bricked a couple of phones.
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
Ok, so I only have mostly stock 2.1/2.2 to compare this to, but:

1. Battery life is so much better. Partly I'm sure because of kernel/file system (the stock Rogers' 2.2 firmware had much better battery life than the voodoo'ed AT&T 2.2 firmware I ran) and mostly because of the native 2.3 SIP support I don't have to run Sipdroid anymore.

2. GB sure feels faster than 2.2 (again, maybe because now I have one less app to run in the background).

I do have some issues with the b2 tho:

1. I flashed b2 over b1 and my phone sure forgot about internet calling. It can be enabled by placing an appropriate xml-file in /system/etc/permissions/ and it sure got deleted when I flashed (no wipe) from b1 to b2.

2. With b1 I've had the I9000 boot logo now with the b2 and updated xcal's kernel for some reason it shows I896 boot logo and then flashing android text. Not sure if it's normal as I have the I897 (but I did run Rogers' 2.2 firmware on it at some point).

Cezar -- could you please look into SIP enabling with your ROMs in the future? Native SIP support is one of the major features introduced in 2.3 and even tho Samsung has decided to block it, it's very easy to re-enable -- just placing an xml file to enable SIP on WiFi and hacking a file within framework to enable SIP on 3g.

I would also prefer to have "stock" boot logo and animation. Or as close to one as possible.

For the life of me I cannot perform a Master Clear using ODIN.. It works fine hitting "Start," so I'm back to stock, but the furthest it gets using "Master Clear" is "Master Clear Started...."

Anyone encounter this and/or know a fix?

Thanks for that, I darn sure don't want to be the cause of a Brick.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Well. Things started off great. Flashed xcals new kernel and was working fine for past 10 hrs. Now all of _the sudden when I go into about phone it force closes. I thought this was fixed because my phone didn't do it 10 hrs ago. I wiped cache and dalvik and re flashed kernel, about phone still force closes. How do I fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Try; after the phone reboots, make sure to reenable USB bebugging. Then plug in your phone, then use Master Clear.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Just posted TalonDEV-0.2.1 final in my thread, this is for JVH + only, should fix alot of problems most of you were having.

The only known issue is wifi toggling might cause reboots, but this happens on multiple kernel (xcals, stock jvh and chainfires jvh kernels) so its not Talon specific..sometimes it takes awhile on one, but it will happen.. Still trying to look into it and see if i cant find whats causing it..Also some reports of BT timing out, just toggle it and it will come on, if not..try clearing cache/dalvik cache
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
yay! i just flashed it!
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
It's gotta be hardware-related on the wifi resets. I set mine and my wife's captivates up identically with this rom and your kernel, hers resets on most wifi toggles, mine never has. Mine is build 1006, hers 1008.
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
I've never gotten a reboot when toggling Wi-Fi since I've started using any GB rom/kernel. Mine is a 1007 build.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
It seems to be random, for some it never happened, but after awhile it started, then it happens everytime...seems that once it starts, its easy to reproduce... but as i mentioned, i can produce the same problem on multiple kernels, (xcals, stock jvh and cfroot jvh).. whats weird is it doesnt seem to happen on JVB, so im thinking maybe it was introduced with JVH...but once it starts, its hard to get it to go away
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
I have a 1009 build, never saw it happen til JVH. I go back and forth with wifi at work trying to get signals so I guess thats where it started for me. Wonder if higher build phones have had this problem or not

New talon kicking ass and taking names

Sent from a rock on fire in the middle of the sea
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
This is probably a difficult question to answer, but how does it feel relative to 2.2(.1)? I used CM7 for so long that I thought these JVB/JVH ROMs seemed really smooth until I used my flatmate's new Infuse 4G side-by-side with my Captivate. Even totally stock his Infuse was much smoother and more responsive and loaded applications faster, which baffled me since I was running Continuum 5.5 overclocked to 1.2 GHz, which you'd think would give me and advantage over his Infuse's stock 2.2.1 install. Neither RFS nor ext4 made any difference, at least on my phone. On a hunch I threw both Cognition 4.4.9 on my Captivate and it's like night and day. At least on 0.1.7-T17r2 JVH is far, far slower than KB1 + Voodoo.

So basically, is that remedied? Is JVH as fast as KB1 + Voodoo now, or is there still ground to make up?

So I flashed Continuum just now, and everything is fine. Except: my market keeps force closing when I try to open up anything in it (a new app, My Apps, etc). Also, my browser force closes when I try to download anything. And, the Downloads applet force closes without even opening.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
@lowlymarine

IMO It is running much better than when i was running 2.2.1 paragon rc6 ROM. This is JVO and seems to be more responsive than JVB or JVH did.... at least for me
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:

I use my cappy as a walkman alot and if I receive a notification while running ANY music player the music keeps running without any sound. I have tried everything to get sound from the music apps back but the only way to fix it so far is a complete reboot. notification from text.calls.calander and alarm have broken music sound so far.

Check the voodoo control app, see if don't interrupt music is checked. If it is uncheck it and your problems should be solved.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet so here's a tip for those that use Keep The Lights On (KTLO). If you reboot your phone you'll need to cycle the KTLO widget off then on again to get it working after a reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Really? I'm not seeing that.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
You would be correct. I meant to say Keep The Lights On. I'll edit my post. Sorry Showman.

<-- back on 5.5 for the moment
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the app?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I edited my post to say KTLO not BLN sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Same situation though... it works fine
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Same here...KTLO works fine after reboot
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Strange. Should I try reinstalling the app?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
You could go in with root explorer or a similar app, delete market, reboot, and reinstall market, reboot. I would probably reflash as I had that problem many months ago and reflash took care of it. I had other odd issues as well which seemed broader than just the market. Sounds like you do too.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Well I uninstalled/reinstalled again with no data and it's working now. Thanks existz and shoman94.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No prob....

Actually the box was unchecked so for the sake of checking it and running until the problem happens.. I checked it..until the problem happens again at which point I will uncheck it.:o
[Captivate Android Development] Seamus1:
Has anyone figured out a way to get the video and voice recording to work again?

I've been having an issue where the app FCs whenever I press the record button in either the camera app or the voice recorder.

I even went as far as to install a secondary video recorder app from the market...same result.

With the camera it says com.sec.android.app.camera is stopping unexpectedly.

Going to a concert tomorrow night and would love to be able to snap a little bit of video. :)
[Captivate Android Development] hkeyman:
When you installed the rom and restored backups after. Did you restore apps and system or just apps with data? Usually if you restore system apps it causes issues like you are experiencing. My suggestion is reload the rom and restore just apps with data.

It depends on your location. Just try a few of them out until you find the one you like.

First, there is a modem thread with a vast amount of Info about this very thing, should you have any more questions after i respond to you.

I like ZSJPG (not to be confused with BVJJPG). Also had good luck with JQ1.

There is a new one JV6 that I have not tested yet, but i hear it has good results so far. Just head over to the modem thread and start testing. Thats really the only way to find out.

Thanks, I'm in the modem thread right now, it can just be overwhelming with so many different roms and everyone contemplating their particular setup...and them the CM7 folks mucking up everything. ;-)

Data connection issue

Running Continuum 5.5 RFS Talon 1.7 Test 15 since it's release. Use Widgetsoid to manage toggles: wifi, data connection, BT, GPS, etc. Everything worked flawless until this afternoon. No changes to system were made. I toggled data connection off (something I do regularly). Now, I can't get the data connection to toggle back on. Even after reboots, nothing.

I've read other posts about the APN getting messed up, but I've been running this way with toggles since the 20th with no issues what so ever.

Anyone has an idea or a path I can follow to get data connection operational again?

Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] DanielGoff527:
Thanks for the great work, love the smoothness and features of this rom, runs great on RFS. A fix for the WiFi reboot bug (phone reboots almost every time I turn on WiFi when using TalonDEV 0.1.7 or 0.2.1, but doesn't happen on other JVO-based roms with the same kernels) and the charging bug (may be gone on Talon 0.2.1) would probably keep me on Continuum permanently.

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I have two caps and both seem to be absolved of the dreaded charging bug with the 0.2.1 Talon. Both were at %100 this morning and unplugged to %99. This is a HUGE win if it's truly resolved finally.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
whats the difference between the charing bug and when its at 100 and unplugged and drops to 92 or something
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
That charging bug is extremely annoying.

Captivate battery sucks enough as it is. But atleast the rom has good battery saving.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Charging bug is when you charge the phone overnight. It will reach a full charge, then start to discharge, even though it is still connected to a charger.

When you unplug and you are at 92, this could be the charge bug, but you may also need to run through a full drain and recharge. Sometimes the battery will report incorrectly. Bump charging is what some people do. It's not good for the battery so I stay clear of that. A good drain to dead then a full charge with the phone OFF should calibrate the battery properly. Once you reach %100 at that point, boot to recovery and wipe battery stats. Pull battery, unplug, insert battery and boot. When you boot, you should be at %99 which is normal
[Captivate Android Development] hobbs:
I wish I could say the same for mine. it was at 90% yesterday morning. woke up this am and it was at 82%.

[Captivate Android Development] tnt533:
I guess I should count myself as lucky as I've always gotten the absolute best battery life from both Cognition and Continuum. I always cycle my battery and delete battery stats after every flash though. I've never experienced the charging bug.

On the flipside, and I was deeply disappointed because it is a sweet rom, I got horrible battery life out of CM7 even with a reflash.

Minor problem, not sure if it's just my phone, but when I try to paste text into messaging, I get a memory full error. Everything else works great though.
[Captivate Android Development] hkeyman:
Might be your install...when did you flash the rom and did you restore your Apps and system from your backup or just Apps? I just tried copy from Gmail and then into Txt msg. and it worked fine. Granted I use Handcent SMS but I also tried it in the system sms and got the same result. Are you having any issue with your applications not sticking or disapearing after install? One other thing to try is power off the phone. remove the micro card and reboot all the way back up. Once the internal scans complete insert the micro card back in and let it scan and try to copy and past again. You may have the sms pointing to the memory card for caching for some reason. If that does not work try a re-flash and restore only Apps with Data.

If I tap once to get the text handle and then tap the text handle, I can tap Paste without a low memory message.
