I don't think the pit file is needed if you're not repartitioning, but I ended up using Heimdall on my laptop running Kubuntu because my Windows computer wouldn't properly detect my phone when it was in Download Mode and didn't need the pit file when I was just flashing the kernel after flashing stock GB. Don't see why Odin would be any different.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Correct the .pit is only needed if repartition is checked.

Was there a fix for android os sucking all the battery? Mine was great for a week + now it's really laggy and battery draining all of a sudden.

Do I edit framework and systemiu?

What I did was use dark blues files and cooked a theme with uot. Then tried to edit the framework and systemui from the cooked theme. New icons show for a minute after reboot then goes back to the older ones. Hmmm.

I personally would suggest changing launchers. Go Launcher seems to be a fairly popular, free alternative. I myself am enjoying ADW Launcher EX which is paid. As for the screen going nuts... Maybe a bad flash?

Not to go far off topic, has anyone had better luck using Go Launcher, compared with TW, LauncherPro or ADW. I prefer LauncherPro, but GB is an all new beast that has its own quirks.

Update: Switched to GO Launcher EX. Works a lot smoother. No more redraw issues like on LP, plus it loads a lot faster.
[Captivate Android Development] flyboy021:
bryman, It says "Ok Here is a fast and basic way to get to Stock GB from 2.2." I flashed to 2.1 from Odin. Is there a way to get stock 2.2 from 2.1? Other than through ATT?

Thanks for the help by the way!
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Still rocking LPP. The only issue I have is an occasional fc at boot...but even that is fine as long as I let the sd scan run its course first. Sometimes I am just a little impatient. I like the looks of go...just cant get rid of my lp widgets.

I personally haven't tried those but zeam is very minimalistic and works great for me. Haven't had any issues with it
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You don't have to go to 2.2 first. You can skip straight to gingerbread from 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I used LauncherPro after ADW because the free ADW doesn't have the transition effects. I decided to buy ADW EX because LauncherPro seemed to be a resource hog in comparison and seemed to make my phone a little slower. Haven't used TW since before I started flashing custom ROMs back on 2.1 and don't remember ever trying Go Launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] flyboy021:
So, it says go into download mode. on Post 2. But I've always used the download mode from the ROM's. How do I go into download mode in stock 2.1? CWM is installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Use the 3-Button combo Vol UP+Down+Power or Vol UP+Down+Plug-in USB. If that doesn't work there's an Odin Flashable patch that will make it work. Or you could get a JIG.

*edit*

I'm not sure why it slipped my mind but you could also use "adb reboot download" from a cmd prompt with your phone plugged into your computer and turned on. You can get adb from the Android SDK off the Android website and you can get the USB drivers from Samsung's KIES.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
I highly recommend ADW EX

never had an issue with it

landscape or portrait

easy config

transitions that make anyone ooooo

as far as it getting hot, do you mean it gets hot on it's own? If so try a different modem, that is an easy way to eliminate a lot of heat causers, no all but some:)

more specific definition of "screen going nuts" would be helpful ;)
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
She was sun bathing and it was about 90 out. She was texting and the screen flipped out. I knew it was hot because her iPod got too hot to touch. Ill try a different launcher and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
screen flipped out

screen going nuts

not very descriptive;)

was it stuck pixels?

artifacts when dragging?

"static"?

....?

perhaps the keyboard was not reading her fingers because it was out of temp range?

I will say that I keep my phone in the shade, under a towel if needed, even when driving to work....

any block of direct sun would be good

how useful is a touchscreen that is too hot to touch anyway?

[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Only launcher I use is GO, mostly because I like the setup I have and was sick of having to remember where my icons went after a flash. Maybe launcher has the save to sd card option but I didn't think so. I love GO, tried many including regina, zeam, none were as lag free and flawless as GO, just my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
She did try putting it under her towel when not in use. It is difficult to describe. Not just a freeze or a few pixels off. It was more like the lower half of the screen redrawing garbage. Ill try to snap a picture the next time it happens. When mine gets hot, when I use the GPS in the dock for a long time in the hot sun and its charging, it just reboots.

[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Not true. Themes are based on the build's framework.

You can use any launcher you want with any theme that were made for Mosaic. Most mods of a launcher don't affect Theme's mods.

(Some launchers might, but never happened to me personnaly using 3 different launchers).

It is an issue with the messaging app and FB. Use a different app for it. FB keeps changing things in their API so I dont think this will ever work 100% all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] nrgaway:
Why have all GO launcher themes and widgets worked for me on every rom I have used including mosaic?

Just trying to figure out what the difference is between their themes and yours :)
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Because go launcher themes are just that. a theme for the launcher only. JGGW themes are rom themes. Big diff

Is there an easy way?
[Captivate Android Development] blue265:
Its just a soft brick. You'll have to go into Download mode and flash JVB again. If you didn't succeed at flashing JVB, you are probably still on 2.2 and will have to go to download mode the usual way. Unhook phone, take out battery. Connect USB cable again, hold volume up and down and put battery in. It should go back into download mode.

Maybe check out this post for some detailed info on flashing to JVB before flashing again

[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea unless I've missed something recently.

I've heard removing the app, reflashing the voodoo kernel you already have, then reinstalling the app works for some people.

I think you will be very sad if you flash a no voodoo kernel with voodoo enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
+1 flashing the no voodoo version while ext4 is still enabled will just increase the population of bootloop city by 1.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I have made a folder called "disable lagfix" (without quotes) and placed it in the Voodoo folder with root explorer. I had to wait a while for the first boot but it worked with no problems.

EDIT: Here is a note I saved for when I did it; you place a folder called "disable lagfix" into the Voodoo folder, which is in the root of your internal SD. Then reboot your phone, wait till the conversion finishes, and voila - no lagfix.

going back to firefly?

I've been on M1/2/3d ever since release...

I've been having issues with battery life, performance and lockups...

I'm wondering if there's any safe way to roll back to FireFly?

I have been looking for a while but haven't seen any clear methods for doing so, there's some that appear to do about half of the process, and others that do other parts.

Can firefly run on the 2.3 bootloaders?

If that's the case can I just download the firefly rom and flash it using the new cwm?

fwiw, I love what you're doing, I just need to wait for a few more releases until some of the caveats are worked out, I eventually plan to move back to 2.3, but can't work with the problems at hand (not complaining mind you, just stating that).

[Captivate Android Development] dsu:
So would it be a better idea to wait for the new ROM you guys are building or just flash MOSAIC?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
You can do it manually, either in cwm recovery on through your pc (by right-clicking on your port).

Not to mention that you can do it with Odin one click downloader through master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] dsu:
Last time I checked, which was a while ago actually. I couldn't do Odin since Odin was made for the ATT captivate. Is it changed now or was I misinformed a long time ago??

[Captivate Android Development] NightTickler:
Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if I could a concern I had answered, before I try and flash Mosiac III:

Coming from a Rogers Captivate, is there any concern I should be worried about in using ODIN 1-Click or ODIN3? I read somewhere long ago that Rogers Captivate devices did not play nicely with ODIN 1-Click and that they should only use ODIN3. Is this still true? Reason I ask is that I see that there is warning not to use ODIN3, and to use ODIN 1-Click on this post.

Thanks for your help and time!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
There is only 1 odin that will work properly for us with 2.3. Follow the directions to the T in the second post on this thread and you won't have any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
From what I can see, the only reason that people are saying not to use Odin-one-click with a rogers is because it would also flash AT&T software... That wouldn't really matter if your just flashing up to a rom that doesn't include AT&T software anyways... Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you should be just fine.
