Flashed from Firefly 3.0 to C5 B3.

Went very smooth, great OP instructions. I've done these steps before but it always helps to have a clear guide to not mess anything up. In fact I can't believe how quick the whole thing went.

So far so good. Nice and smooth, this is suprisingly close to RC already, easy daily driver. Haven't been able to really test batterly life yet, but so far much better than my earlier foray with CM7 (to be fair a few weeks ago).

Notes / Comments:

1. I have tried two charges, neither had the "drains after hitting 100%" bug. Might still happen, but I suspect we might be at B4 before I can get too many charges.

2. Goofy bug scrolling in stock internet browser only. After a flick it only goes a few lines then stops (like no inertia) all other flick to scroll behavior on other programs is normal.

3. Included (stock) swype is hideous. I need to flash a theme over it...can't believe Samsung didn't change this with 2.3

4. Widget locker with Galaxy S music widget doesn't work properly, just launches to music player instead of control and update. Probably just a Widget Locker or the music widget issue with 2.3 (very unlikely to be ROM issue IMO).

5. Noticed lower wifi bars (same as others) but seems to be reporting differences (error?) compared with the 2.2 based ROMs I used previously, works fine.

Really ?? That is odd.. Everytime I click on Battery use, its right where it left off! Im at 51% after 13 and a half hours and thats after a couple of modem flashes and theme flashes in between. and would 1 hr 14 minutes Display on be considered medium or high use?

For those wanting to test a new kernel, Darky has one available that works pretty well from my short period of testing.

You can download it from here: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/kernel-dark-core-2-x-ginger-kernel.2072/

Make sure you download the 2.1 i897 CWM one towards the bottom of the page titled I897 CWM: Dark_Core_2.1_C.zip

I recommend doing a full backup first because the kernel will try to implement Vodoo Lagfix automaticaly upon first boot.

Please thank Shoman94 as well for he was the one that first pointed this out to me last night!
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Low for me :). my average is around 2.5 hours. I get 3.5 - 4 hours on GB.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
My alarm didn't go off this morning!

I doublechecked obvious stuff: The volume was all the way up, time was correct, etc.

I set a test alarm that worked-- is it possible that after aperiod of time of not being used the phone seeps or doesn't trigger the alarm?

Has anybody else experienced this?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
well im only at 50 percent :-) .. just shows that battery life on GB at its early stages is still pretty good! Imagine what some more undervolting can do and more keren improvements for battery life!
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
I am currently running C4 with crysis theme + Shoman's HC puzzle unlock mod + windows animation cooked in UOT + UGKC1 modem + onix 2.0.5 kernel. Can I use AIO toolbox to go back to stock eclair 2.1 (which I always used)? Usually after going back to stock I do the three button combo and then select "reinstall packages" twice to get CWM (I have the update.zip on the root of my internal sd) . Looks like I need to disable anti virus on my win 7 computer to have the odin with bootloaders given in the instructions found in the OP. I have never done this before and want to make sure I do it right. I am feeling like left behind with this whole thing :-) I read some posts on bootloaders and such but they were way too much for my level. I see many issues being posted here and to be honest I.am somewhat confused why ppl shld have issues even after following the instructions. Some of the notable issues I see in this thread are. Some.scrolling problem with the browser, screen going to some android boot animation all of a sudden and then the media scanning that follows it. Also, some cases are saying that the market not working etc etc. I know it is a beta release but want to make sure that I am going to have the same excellent user experience I am.having with continuum version 4. I absolutely love this ROM so want to make sure that I don't just jump to C5 and have a bad experience. Someone please guide / advise me. Thank you!

Edit : is masterclear absolutely necessary?

[Captivate Android Development] capn1:
One of the safe ways to go back to stock

I assume these methods refer to going back to stock from gingerbread. My question is - Will the bootloaders from gingerbread work with jf6? It looks like that is what this means but I didn't think it would work. Maybe this is meant for going back to stock before flashing gingerbread, if so then I understand.

Just trying to get this all straight BEFORE I have any trouble.

Thanks

Has anyone noticed their phone getting hotter than usual on the top portion of the phone, or is it just me?

Does the lagfix work ? and how about auto-rotate?
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Everything works. Lagfix is supposedly unstable however it does the conversion just fine. The Vodoo lady's voice sounds like a chipmunk.

If you don't want lagfix, reboot back to recovery after flashing the new kernel and disable it in the Lagfix option so it doesn't automatically implement it on first boot.

Quadrant jumps to 1600+ after lagfix for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
bootloaders from gingerbread will work with 2.1 and 2.2/2.2.1 firmwares. However, the orientation sensor will not. Not aware of anything else that wouldnt work. So, if you plan on staying on Eclair or Froyo, go back to stock using the ODINOneClick Downloader
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Decided to go with lagfix option, that voice was really funny :D
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I just hit my thanks limit for the day due to thanking you a few times for pointing out a kernel with lagfix. THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
So singalkalpesh and Vivified, what are you impressions?

I like it cause the smoothess is stil there from Xcal's and may be a little smoother.

Not sure what the sharpness fix actually did.

Voodoo app now shows the enabled options again which is cool cause you an enable and disable the Voodoo stuff in there.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Hey Cezar, I wanted to drop in and just say thanks for this great ROM and all the hard work. It's really appreciated, even more than you know! Hopefully I'll get permission to post my latest theme port so we can have even more options for your users :)
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Thought I found it? Actually cesar pointed to me that darky had a gb rom and I found the kernel in the rom zip file. Looks like they posted it today separately. Thanks elisha.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Thank you very much icezar for the guide on the first page:-) I was nervous as help about using odin but now I can relax and enjoy this rom:-)
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Well you just got my last "thanks" of the day buddy ;)
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I noticed this last night but only when i had it plugged in charging while i was heavily using it. Not sure if its a problem as cpu temp only went to about 98°. As soon as i unplugged it went to 86°. The only reason I noticed it is that I have a pretty thick case for it and for the first time I noticed the heat near the top through the case.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
1 Seems at least as smooth at xcal's kernel, is it better ? I don't know

2 Quadrant score shot up to 1500 for whatever it means ;)

3 I don't use voodoo that much so can't really comment on that.

4 Still seems to have the ASOP lock and auto-rotate issue, so maybe it might be more of ASOP lock than kernel.

Overall, frankly I cannot really feel much difference between this and xcal's
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
Yeah GB

Cezar, your instructions were flawless!! I've flashed through recovery to b3 and everything seems to be running fine.

Is there any problem running a batch restore (user apps + data only) through TiBu?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Ooooh, would love to try this right now, unfortunately, I left my headphones at home and I don't want a loud quick noise disturbing the rest of the office lol.

thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
You did bro but it was packaged with the rom last night. When I checked again this morning it was a seperate cwm zip.

And I think yesterday's version included with the rom didn't have the home key working or something.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I had the same issue, just stepped out of the office for a few minutes :D
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
I have the same issue with restoring my apps with TiBu. sometimes when i try to restore just a single app, it will reboot. in batch mode restore, the phone freezes up.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Are you referring to the Voodoo lady?

I had mine laid on the sofa and it was very soft. So maybe just put the phone in your pocket on first boot or something :D
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
are all the sammy apps working on this sucker? I did a search and used a couple phrases but alas i didn't find my answer. Mostly curious about the stock cameras.. i.e. 720p video recording, and the sweet 5MP camera?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
No it was the same one... I loaded it last night.
[Captivate Android Development] xxsxx:
Both are working fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Which apps... All camera options work.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
By the way it requires boot animations to be renamed bootanimation.zip and not sanim.zip like xcal's kernel
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Cool. I was on IRC this morning to ask you about it but you still aren't on.

Still has the i896 boot screen which you love ;)
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Existz will have a kernel available soon: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050206
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I'm currently at 50% with 7hrs 15mins on time and 1hr 43 minutes of screen time (auto brightness). Much better than on Froyo where I would only get 3 hours screen time if I was lucky.

Over the weekend I was still at 25% after about 29 hours of on time before I went into a store with no signal and it killed my battery. I was getting about 1.3% drop per hour when idle, froyo was giving me about 8%+ an hour.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Oh yes...i do love it. :) looking forward to existz's kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Very cool.. thank you:)

btw thank you shoman94 for asking. I was just referring to the original camera's, but again thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] eatonjb:
I would not go by post count, this does not determine anything. Several reasons for a high post count. 1. lots of problems. 2. lots of questions (and many repeated) 3. lots of conngrats, 4. lots of Dumb questions (irrelevant) 5. lost of "Me too's"

sorry to burst the bubble. but on my side! I love it.. GB for life (or until something better)
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
I'm not quite sure why you're saying the orientation sensor will not work. I'm back on 2.2 with gingerbread bootloaders and my auto rotate and compass work fine. Just tested them out again. I'm not trying to be an smart ass. I am curious to know if I'm missing something.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Is this stable enough for day to day use? I ask because I am on v4 and it has been perfect for me thus far without any hickups.

I highly doubt a KB1 theme will work. You will probably just get a bootloop. Going to have to wait until someone designs it with this framework.

is there a way i could change the type?
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
So if im already runnin gingerbread. Can i just flash this through odin
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
The Continuum ROMs had always been my favorite FROYO ROMs.

Mostly because they were usually colorful and lacked the boring monochrome interfaces that most other ROMs give you.

Then I took the plunge into the Cyanogen 7 goodies...but only for the Gingerbread tastiness but the ROM, unfortunately, lacks color.

Now you're telling me I can have my Continuum and Gingerbread too! :eek:

Bless you...bless you my son.
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
Ya I did but it must not have worked. OK now I can't get into download mode or the recovery. Am I screwed?
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
Ah never mind, I was able to get it into download mode with the AIO toolbox.

So wipe before and after flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
more details. is this after stock,master reset or flash?
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
This may be a stupid question but I ask a lot of stupid questions so here goes: Will loading the bootloaders somehow permanently change my phone? Will I still be able to flash back to my old bootloader if necessary and/or change roms, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
If you are running JVB gingerbread, which upgrades your bootloaders, yes you can just install the one without bootloaders using ODIN.

It is always good to clear data between flashes.

EDIT: As far as I know CM7 and MIUI don't count, they do not upgrade your bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Really? There are a lot of themes you can flash for it....just saying. :)
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Yes you will.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Is the email client any better than say 2.1 or 2.2? If not then I will add in the tab email.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
what themes?the ones for gingerbread?
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
yeah im runnin jvb already and i flashed the one with with boot loaders so ill try this out real quick..no screenies?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Attempting to access recovery and download modes is different once the bootloaders are changed. Recovery is now Volume up and power. Download is Volume down and power.

Also, if you flash back to another rom (why would you want to though), you dont have to flash bootloaders again. But, your button combos will be same as they are now(see above).
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Anyone know where to get the cm7 keyboard? i dont like this android keyboard
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
I'd love to hear some feedback from people who have used this. I already realize this hasn't been out that long yet but I'll be flashing it in a few hours and would like to hear everything I can before I do. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
Sorry if this is a double post. Is there swype installed with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
It has been very stable for me, running Beta3 with the mattedblues theme and Xcal 1.0, no reboots. And it's EXTREMELY fast, or at least on my phone, makes Froyo look like it was sitting still. The only 1 issue I had was Wifi wigging out on me for a moment, turned it off, turned it on, didn't fix it, turned off again and turned back on and it was fine. As always, YMMV based on the vast differences in these phones
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
I would say not quite yet. I think the basics work fine for me, such as phone, texting, net. but im having issues with restoring my apps and updating from the marketplace (i get reboots).
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I concur, the only issue I have so far is the charging that stops after 100% and wifi has been funny. Every now and then the internet connection would stop working and I would have to toggle the wifi on and off a few times to get it working again. I know I don't have bad wifi because all the other devices on wifi do not lose connection ever.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
might want to reflash, I have not had any problems restoring apps with TIBU (restored about 100) and they all are in Marketplace and getting updated.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
It's actually really snappy from what I can tell so far. Voodoo lagfix is a big draw for me(not to mention the chipmunk voice lol).

As far as Voodoo Sound, I've been enjoying it since I flashed to GB. Buying the app auto-enables it on all kernels, it's pretty boss.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
RC1 coming out in few moments. New kernel included
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
WOOO!!!!! Full flash or No Wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Dark Core 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
I have never successfully gotten apps to restore from a backup via titanium backup yet...regardless of rom. I just use appbrain to sync and redownload instead. I have 0 issues with wifi or stability. I haven't seen a FC yet since I installed the rom, and the latest update fixed the autorotation issues I was having. Overall I would say this is more than ready for daily use.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Full flash, changed some stuff that need a wipe
[Captivate Android Development] hiepgia:
Plz make it as one-click-download and include bootloader! :D
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Could someone help me figure out something. I tried to update to beta3 and apply a theme at the same time, stupid I know, but it wouldn't boot after that and now if I try to one click flash to stock or flash the original beta through odin it never finishes. It hangs on factoryfs with Continuum5 beta with boot loaders and sbl.bin on one click. Any one have an idea how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Good to know ahead of time! :-) Time to create backups again!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Just reflash without bootloaders since you've already flashed the GB ones.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

That seems to hang on factoryfs, just like gingerbread with boot loaders...
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I'd call it stable enough to flash.....I really think it is dependant on if you follow the op carefully and at least for me, after I flashed the rom with boot loaders It still seemed buggy untill I reflashed without boot loaders then from recovery flash the b3. Get rid of the default lockscreen since it has an issue for now. My wife has been calling me and texting me all day while I am manually re installing apps and surfing the web. No problems for me....as for the charge issue....havn't seen it myself. Plugged it in overnight and when I unplugged it said 98% as it always does if it stays plugged in after it hits 100%...just seems a little warmer at the top than usual. I also reformatted the internal sd so it was a real clean slate lol.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Dont know if this is a bug or not..

The alarm went off this morning... snoozed, after five minutes alarm went off again. I could not find the screen to snooze again so I have to pull the battery off.

It would be nice if the alarm screen is the first one visible like Froyo does... I was sleepy so I don't remember a lot of the details.

Thanks..

Thought I'd chime in and report that I had my first random reboot (wasn't a full one, it's like the reboot others have reported where it just goes back to the shiny "android" boot screen). At least it's the first that I know of. I had just sent a text message and put he phone to sleep when the capacitive button lights came on (like I had BLN on or something) and then it did the reboot thing. Any word on if this is a known bug or have a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Does anyone have an idea why I can't flash anything through odin even though my computer detects my phone and I can enter download mode just fine, I just can't boot or enter recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
^ too many issues I see here but very little solutions being offered. I run C4 and I always got good support from all members. May be this flashing from froyo to gingerbread is too tricky and varies from phone to phone. By the way, I am not blaming anyone . Just stating the fact. I have been following this thread and I see lot of issues (the recent one being random shutdowns/boot) but none of those ppl who post these problems come back and say they resolved it! Nothing wrong with the OP but I think.it is too advanced for many (including me)

[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
did you follow the steps correctly?

First you start Odin then you plug in your phone in Download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I did that...5 times already, my phone cannot get information through odin for some reason and I don't know what the **** to do...
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
I think the issue here is some may not be totally following the guide. I flashed my phone from real factory rom (just had to get my phone replaced because the usb port was messed) and just loaded odin, ran the flash, went into cwm, did factory reset, wiped dalvik cache, wiped cache and fixed permissions.

Restarted again and it worked perfectly no issues.

[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Are you plugging in usb through the front or the back of the computer?
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
There are no real issues, pretty much everything is little cosmetic things, an AOSP problem with very easy workaround, few isolated individual app issues and that's about it. I have been running it since the first beta, phone works, wifi works, BT works, GPS is fantastic for a Cappy, all apps I use work perfectly and battery is fine. I really don't see the "many issues" you claim.

If you are too scared to make the transition suit yourself but don't claim something as generic and mean as "there are too many issues and nobody is helping". For all questions that could be answered, someone gave an answer.

Most questions should not exists if people would try to understand the OP, understand this is a BETA and have enough common sense to realize nobody is forcing them to do anything they don't want to.

Sorry I am so harsh but I really am a little tired of people complaining for no good reason.
