Blah! I forgot I even flashed that battery. I couldn't read the little numbers on the stock battery so I flashed an old battery mod I had. Wasn't thinking I guess as I knew battery mods were tricky. Would flashing the original battery back fix it or do I need to reflash the whole ROM again? If it will fix it, can you point me to a link to download it?

I am sure you are tired of hearing thank you all the time so I am just going to apologize now for thanking you publicly for such incredible work. Without this ROM I would have left this phone behind a long time ago. Simply awesome. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou thankyou!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Just open the ROM and that battery mod side by side with 7zip go /system/framework and move three framework-res.apk from the ROM zip to the battery zip, overwriting what's in there, close it up and flash. That well revert you to the old battery without hanging to wipe and reflash. Although its always a good idea to beck up before flashing anything.

Since flashing i897 bootloaders, I've had zero SoD's...

FWIW at the same time I did that, I also dropped my installed apps way down (about 50ish now), switched to ADW Launcher Ex, Semaphore JVZ big mem kernel and RFS file system.

My phone has been running buttery smooth and stable for days, whereas previously I was having sod at least once every few hours.

Obviously every phone is different, but my Cappy is happy for the first time in a while.

What type of router do you have? I have a Belkin and ip renewal was set to never. You need to go into the router settings and change that so that it renews. ...I set mine to 24 hours. That fixed my issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
Instead of explaining what a bootloader is, this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049294

explains what a bootloader means to you, and is really not something to do just because...If a bootloader flash fails, you could be hard bricked and sending your Cappy + $50 to Mobile Tech Videos for the unbrickable mod to fix.

Your Cappy phone is an i897, while Mosiac is based on the i9000. Mosiac uses i9000 bootloaders by default. Without re-beating a dead horse, conventional wisdom is that i9000 bootloaders may give you better battery life and stock music player works when the phone is locked and music is playing. In my experience, i897 bootloaders apparently cured my SoD issues, I use Google Music versus stock, and any battery difference seems negligible (I have 2 batteries anyway)...Again, every Cappy is different, so YMMV.

Anyway, this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821

is for an Odin package that will flash the i897 bootloaders ONLY.

OH God HELP!

Tried to install mosaic8.5! Wiped everything first, but now Recovery can't mount any of the partitions! I can't get to any files! Someone please help! :(

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

flashed back to stock and it worked. Tried to do a recovery from clockwork and got the same problem. Is it because I converted to ext4? I can flash stock but cannot get back to mosaic. :'(

Note. It seems even stock won't work. Please someone help me!
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Can you give a step-by-step of what you are doing and what you are seeing?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
What are you using to flash to "stock" make sure it repartitions, use a multi file package that has a .pit with repartition checked.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
WHEW! Okay. Crazy. I was on Mosaic 8 with Bigmem Semaphore, no updates to Mosaic. Did a factory reset. Cleared Dalvik and cache. Tried to install 8.5. Upon reboot, Clockwork could not mount anything. Restored stock Gingerbread with Odin. Attemped to install 8.5 again. Same error afterwards not being able to mount anything. Went back to stock and installed Mosaic 8 and it took. But, then I tried using Titanium Pro to restore apps and it just hung on the first app. So, I figured what the hell, and I restored a Clockwork backup I did last night and I'm back where I started. My system partitions are ext4. I'm not messing with 8.5 again. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] dpaik:
this happened to me too on regular M8 with Semaphore non bigmem....i had to odin flash stock gingerbread i9000 with reoriented again and start over....something weird was happening...it wouldn't mount anything and just error and so i couldn't even reflash the rom or do a restore....wth....i have 8.5 now with updates and semaphore 2.1.1....no issues YET....hopefully none will appear....battery life is egh tho on the new build...seems it's getting worse and worse as new versions come out...i think M6 had the best batt life thus far from what i've tested

Contact issue

Running S7 Build 2 Kernel 4.1 and have been ever since their release.

I just attempted to edit a Contact and only the Name fields displayed -- none of the phone numbers, email, address or any other info. I find this happens with many but not all of my contacts. The contact record itself still displays all if its current numbers, etc when viewing normally but not in the edit mode.

Looking for advice on what to do...

Last night I flashed the I9000 reoriented vG.3.1 kernel (specifically I9000_reoriented_vG.3.1_novoo.tar) located here, hoping to fix my SoD issue with M8 and 8.5, and not so good battery life. Its been about 24 hours now with out a single SoD. And my battery life has went back to great. On M8 and 8.5 I had at least one SoD every day, usually multiple. Flashed different kernels on each with no change till now. Just thought I would relate my solution, maybe it will help someone else.

One cosmetic issue I've noticed on M8 and 8.5 is in the dialer when I use the keypad to dial the first few letters of a contacts name. When I select the dropdown with the search results, the window that pops up is white and lists the contacts with a picture and only the letters typed in blue. The rest of the name on each line is hidden or the text is white. Kinda makes it difficult to choose the correct person if no pictures.

Thanks to everybody who helps put out these great ROMs!!
[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
When you flashed I9000 reoriented kernel did you calibrate your battery? My battery life hasn't been great with M8 but I'm dealing.
[Captivate Android Development] infinite_shift:
No, I dont recalibrate very much, never seem to notice any difference when I do. But I tried it several times on stock 8.5.
[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
Ok I'll try out this kernel, I'm on Semaphore 2.1.1 but I haven't seen a difference in battery life. I've tried essentially every kernel with no visible difference in battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Perhaps the kernel isn't the issue...
[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
Yeah, I figured that. I've looked for rogue apps and froze some with TiBu but that didn't really seem to work. I've re-flashed M8 and even performed the steps to re-calibrate my battery. On M7 the battery life was great, I'm not sure where my problem lies.

Wow, ATT doesn't waste any time. Got my spare phone all setup to do some beta testing of some not to be named JVZ rom, and decided to let my son use it for a few days. He has a non-smartphone so I knew he'd be thrilled to play with it for a while and would likely press and swype things in sequences that I'd never dream up. I put his sim card into the phone, turned data off, and less than an hour later got a text message from ATT that they had added a data plan to his account. Sure enough, went online and they had already changed his plan to the 2GB plan.

It's amazing how fast they can do something when it involves taking money from you. Yet when it comes to upgrades, service, etc... not quite the same experience. Also don't understand why you HAVE to have a dataplan for a smartphone. If I don't use data then why should I have to pay for it... and if I do use some and don't have a plan, then I should be responsible to pay their outrageous rates... but shouldn't that be our choice when we buy a phone?

Between cable/satellite/phone companies I'm not sure who's worse... though they're all blending together so I guess that's not a surprise.
[Captivate Android Development] ashies7:
Joe , you'll be non surprised to know that if you were to take your Sim card, and place it in a dumb phone, Att will not drop your data plan.. They don't care about down grades, only up grades. Sorry they got you :(

[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I don't care in terms of having the plan as my intent was to give him the phone when my upgrade period roll around in feb anyway. It's just the fact that you're forced to do so.

The fact that they say you have to because smartphones are made to use a lot of data. So? If I had wifi at work I'd probably use barely any data at all.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
You gotta know how to play the game. I have my mom on my family plan, and she has a non-smart phone. She didn't need her upgrade, so I upgraded her and got a smartphone and HAD to get a data plan. Okay. :p Got the smartphone, put MY sim inside, then called up and canceled the data plan on her account. LOL. This is why I get pissed at these companies. First off, the way ATT has horse sex with the Iphone is sickening and disgusting. The Captivate comes with HSUPA crippled. If I was Google, I'd sue. The CEO of ATT needs to stop sleeping on Steve Job's grave every night.

I constantly get heat for talking crap on the Iphone. Well, here's my deal. I'm going to pay 2,000,000 for an 8 gig phone. I can never add more memory. I have to install Itunes, which is the biggest pile of bloatware garbage ever written. I can only install apps that ATT SAYS I can install, and I have to take the phone to a nuclear technician just to change the battery. Iphones are a scam and a disgrace to free market. That's why I wouldn't accept one as a gift. Just sayin'.

About Maps, I have not had issue but even on Firefly it would run location services if you have them on/GPS on, so I dont think it uses battery up. Maybe people need to clear out the Maps data and db, or unintall all the maps/navi apps and go fresh.

Mosaic and Phoenix 6 have had the best battery life, Battery ETA shows my average battery discharge velocity averaging around 3.5 to 4.8 vs 8 to 12 on FF 2.8-3 and Phoenix Ultimate.

After 6-7 hours of sleep i only see for the last 6 days of use about a 2 to 3% drop at night.

The catch is I have to make sure that Droid OS and SMS are behaving!!

I have finally been able to duplicate some of the awesome battery stats I have seen posted here and in the FireFly forum. First let me note when I unplugged my charged phone for this test it immediately went to 80% where I charged it to full with the phone off before continuing. I also have maps frozen with TiB.

I forgot to mention this is with 9mo old OEM battery
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
My battery life its brilliant! When I first charged this ROM up I had 85% when I unplugged it, the second time I charged it the same thing happened, what I did was wait till the battery had about 2% left, then rebooted into recovery and wiped battery stats, I then pulled the battery, and charged it for about 8-9 hrs, when I turned it back on I was back to 99%, IM getting almost 2 days heavy usage!! ( IM away with the wife and inlaws! heavy usage!) actually today I used the camera to record my son, for about 30-45 minutes! Used about 8-10% of battery! Pretty good. Love this ROM

[Captivate Android Development] waslost1:
Not sure if it is useful info or not but I seem to have resolved the Sleep of Death issues on my phone.

Best combination so far for me has been with Mosaic 8 followed by installing the Semaphore 2.1.1cbm Kernel. Sleep of death issue seemed to be diminished to nothing after the Semaphore cbm version of kernel was installed. I did have a few sleep deaths on the non big memory ("c") version but even then it was better than with the original or the earlier versions of Semaphore.

My current Settings in the Semaphore App

when I wrote this were....

----------------------------------------------

Governors = SmartassV2

NET Filter = On (enables WiFi tethering)

Low Memory killer = 92MB Chainfire

Touchscreen = More Sensitive

This has been my setup for over a week now with no sleep deaths.
