New Version OTA

I downloaded the OTA new version and installed as directed using MV5, rebooted phone and selected OTA icon and the download screen would popped up indicating new version available on the second or third when time selecting OTA icon. Oh yeah...this is happening with MV6 also. Q: Is therre a fix for this glitch? :confused:

BTW.....awesome rom!!! Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
If you're getting that message then you're not running the new version of the OTA or your browser is using a cached version. I've never encountered that myself, so can only suggest clearing your browsers cache and seeing if that helps.

external sd

quick question guys...I flashed this rom last night and haven't been able to get my external sd card to work. should I re-flash or is there a way to get it to work? any help will be appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
well back from lunch... and it is still at it...

she stopped talking to me.... wonder if she is upset. =/
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
She's mad because you left her alone and didn't take her out to lunch :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Thanks for the reply Joe. I suppose if I really wanted the battery, I could get down an dirty and rip apart the zip and add the files to my current setup. If one really strikes my fancy, I may do that.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Hmm...unfortunately there is no way to know if it is still working or not until you hear her say anything. I went through some long periods of silence but I don't know how much you have to convert. The danger in pulling the battery part way is that part of your filesystem will be converted and part of it won't. Don't know what that would do.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Trekie You can always go to the uot kitchen pick your battery and upload the framework .apk and keep the theme you have
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
Im giving it 30 more minutes

than im taking her out to dinner... maybe she will forgive me
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well one person said they had waited over an hour for it to finish...

And another had said they lost half their apps because they pulled the battery...
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
I have them backed up so i know it should be ok

also I have the rom backed up too

I think I know what I am doing haha

its been over hour and 30 mins
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I wasn't trying to say you didn't. I was just telling you about other people's experiences. Chances are it's still doing the conversion and may take a few more hours. Didn't you say you have like 500 apps installed? @_@
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Uninstall it using TiBu and then reinstall. It was doing that to me also but this fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
Yes

I got about 500 apps haha.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Holy poop that's a lot of apps!

Just wait a while longer.

For future conversions it may go quicker if you do a data and cache wipe before conversion and then reinstall your apps with tibu after.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I have a better idea... wipe them as you said, then only when he realizes that he actually needs an app, then restore it. :) I have a feeling that out of those 500, he'll only end up restoring 20-30 of them after a few weeks.
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
really I have couple hundred more that are in tibu and not restored haha
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
So phone is stuck in a boot loop, I can get into download mode but I'm not going to be near a PC for most of the day. Is there any way to get back into CW so I can try to reflash? I tried holding volume button up, then inserting battery...that is just a boot loop. Volume down is download mode. Both volume buttons does nothing.

Any tips? thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Volume up + power. Release all buttons as soon as you see anything on the screen. Should boot to CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Doesn't work, thanks though. FUDGE. Looks like I'm phoneless or going to Radio Shack to buy something else, I can't not have a phone all night.
[Captivate Android Development] sixk:
I took the battery out... put it back in and she talked to me and it was continuing process....... lol
[Captivate Android Development] demoicurn:
I went MVI yesterday!!! Having an issue. I can't d/l anything from mosaic ota? Quick scan of the last few pages and haven't seen anything. Thanx and sorry if its been asked already

Thank you. Drive thru.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
there is a link in the OP

Find another cable if at all possible

I have read more than once of a cable causing this
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Oh no!! I jinxed me!!!

I was on a call, and all of a sudden, my friend couldn't hear me anymore, but I could still hear her. I figured this happens every once in a while and it's network related, but then my phone wouldn't load my home screen, and it was in an almost frozen state, meaning it was moving in extra slow motion. I finally managed to turn it off, rebooted in recovery, cleared dalvyk and cache, and it seems to.be ok now :(

I do have a live wallpaper, the sgs II windmills one, do maybe I should.stick to a static one for the moment?

I know Live wallpapers drain battery, but I don't care. I just don't want my phone to freeze again :(
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I don't have nearly that much music, nor are they broken down into album or artist folders... However, I moved all my songs to the external sd, fc'd the app and cleared the cache under settings-applications then ran a media scan...opened settings in the miui player, made sure the folder was selected...and all my songs were there.

Under settings, are all the folders being selected after media scanning?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Happened to me twice in the last 24 hours... Been told it's the proximity sensor... But, not sure how that would cause the lockup, especially the loss of voice transmission.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Should work on any of them...
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
It won't show the folder where my music is with music player as the previous attached picture showed.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
You dont happen to have a no media file in those folders to block the album art from gallery do you? Sorry I am trying to find the issues but all my players work fine with no issues
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
? What should I be looking for ?

Did a search thru it... All I see are music folders....

Strange the Power Amp player works perfect, and I can select where to search. But the other two...Well one has no option, and the other that I posted the screen shot of, had not option except for the three selected ones. I don't see anyway to search for new folder locations ?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
a file named nomedia
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
It shows all the albums on mine on stock and power amp (IMHO the best music player in the market) player.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Can you try to clear the cache of the music app and maybe even rename the Music folder... then let it rescan...

Poweramp has it's own built in scan... Miui relies on the android scan...

Zel, where is your music stored? (directory structure)
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Found three... Deleted them, rebooting phone to see what happens..
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Deleted them, rebooted. Still the same

Renamed music folder.

Rebooting phone now
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Mine is stored on external sd in music folder then by artist
[Captivate Android Development] Ebvad:
Thought this was interesting was having the same weird battery effects that others were having when removing from charger and sporadic draining. I read earlier to try to remove the battery and reinsert. When I did this I went from 77% down to 35% battery life. I then began to notice my battery % actually going up like it was plugged into a charger. It went as high as 47% and now is 44% after some more usage. You can see from the screenshot this behavior. This is still good life but I don't really know what is the correct % now.
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
What is this battery app?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
and does it show each individual folder as selected in the settings, or just the parent directory?
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
its built into the rom, look under settings -> phone status or about phone? -> battery usage there will be a graph at the top, click it.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Omfg how long has that been there and how the hell did I miss it?!
[Captivate Android Development] Ebvad:
I assume it is standard GB not sure, it comes up when I go to Battery use in About phone in the Setting menu and touch the graph at the top of the screen. Battery % still increasing :)

Update: Too slow...
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Any more detail you can provide? What happens when you try to download? Are you having any other issues with data?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
The stock browser doesn't support downloading zip files out of the box. Download "Download All Files" or use another browser.

I'm currently trying to DL the FF theme from Mosaic and it keeps saying download unsuccessful... Is there a problem with the PHX server?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I haven't messed with the kitchen, maybe this is a good opportunity. Thanks for the tip.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Download Astro and in the preference, enable browser downloader.
[Captivate Android Development] demoicurn:
Done that. Still an issue. I haven't noticed anything odd with data or wifi. I am unable to dl anything off of ota. Hmmm

Thank you. Drive thru.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Not sure... just downloaded several items from the different sections without any problems. What is it that you were trying to dl? I'll give you the direct link, you can post it directly in your browser and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
I flashed the helping hands boot animation and would like to know how to revert back. Could a revert file be made or could someone let me know how to manually do it? Thanks!

Once I downloaded Dolphin browser, it OTA asked which one to have download file, Dolphin or default. I chose Dolphin and it has worked ever since.
[Captivate Android Development] demoicurn:
Trying to dl any of the swype kb. I would like the glowing blue.

Its an instant failed dl. Reinstalled astro. Still a no go.

Thank you. Drive thru.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Got the FF theme. Turned out to be the stock browser. Used Dolphin Mini HD as my default browser and it worked out fine.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
here's the direct link... give it a shot by pasting into your browser.

[Captivate Android Development] demoicurn:
Thanx. Not needed. I rebooted again and I could dl zip again. Not sure what that was about.... Thank you for your help. Great rom. It's amazing how much better my cappy is once PHOENIX transformed into MOSAIC,.

Thank you. Drive thru.
[Captivate Android Development] darksum:
Any reason why vibrate on key touch in swype is greyed out?

Also when flashing mosaic blues, the music player in the dropdown is still orange, I'm guessing it's the music player apk? Also the internet icon is still orange, I'm guessing that's also the themed apk?

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
My vibrate on key press with Swype works fine.

Also installed DarkCore 3.0 and so far no issues like what I and most others were experiencing, but it hasn't even been a full day yet.
[Captivate Android Development] djbrian52:
I'm posting from my phone, so please don't slay me. Searching by phone is brutal. Can I just flash VI over V?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Yes. Just make sure you backup everything first. And as always, it is suggested to remove any lagfix first.
[Captivate Android Development] demoicurn:

Thank you. Drive thru.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Went back to stock, stock gb, installed mvi, then the update...laggy as hell.

Any other kernel or something?
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
Did you clear data/caches? MVI is smooth for the rest of us with stock kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
Try disabling voodoo lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] TheSoaresan:
As for kernals try talon - wifi reboot and proximity sensors issues fixed permanently. Existz is also posting crazy good updates almost everyday so if you have a flashing addiction, go for it
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Just curious if Nun or anyone's testing out having the framework and browser Odexed as a way of fixing the stock browser's issues. Not that I myself use the Stock browser. Just curious to see if it was working or not.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
For me it's the laggiest of any of the Mosaic releases and has the most f/c by far.

I followed instructions to the T. I did the reset/cache thing and then flashed and have not changed kernel or anything else. I flashed it over MV which I had not changed as well.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I read a previous post by nun that said he was looking into that.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Uhhhh ohhhhh. OK, so it looks like I fawked up!

Was on MV, made a backup within CWM Recovery.

Flashed the Guage battery. Turns out this was for MVI and had orange in it, didn't like the colour.

Restored backup in CWM, phone sticks on I897 screen.

Reflashed MV, phone sticks on I897

Cleared caches, formatted, factory wipe.

Phone sticks on I897 screen.

Idea's?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Not sure if there is a better option but you could get into download mode and reload stock GB and start again. Not sure if this is a JIG situation or not. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in soon.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Looks like I posted too quick. Flashed MV again and this time it booted up...
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
My understanding a jig is only required when you can't get Recovery or Download mode. When you are truly bricked. It all worked out for me though. Whew!!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Well kind of yes its when the button combos won't work. Which I haven't heard happening on gingerbread at all.

But TRULY bricked is a corrupted bootloader and a jig ain't helping that one little fawkin bit. Jtag only for that.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Glad to hear it. Someone posted the other day you could use UOT Kitchen to set battery mods and such. You may be able to take the one you wanted, update the colors, and flash that to work on MV.
[Captivate Android Development] jaquez4:
noob question. Just trying to get a better understanding of roms, kernels and what not, but if I were to change the kernel, what does it actually do? I am on Darkcore that came with Mosaic VI and disabled the lagfix but have sense noticed some lag at various times. Might re-enable lagfix later on not such a big deal to me. But like i mentioned just trying to get a better understanding of things.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
What really sucks is I had a widget for time/weather/date and I don't remember what it was called. DoH!!
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
It was called genie weather widget not sure if its still on the market if not let me know and ill dig one up for ya
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Fancy widget? Bits?
[Captivate Android Development] stinkynoon:
The stock theme on Mosaic VI thoroughly rocks my socks! The wallpapers are exceptional as well. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Wasn't Fancy Widget, Bits or Genie. ****ty.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Beautiful Widget, Weather & Toggle Widget, Weather Widget - Free?

World Weather Clock Widget?

Running out of ideas.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Go Weather?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I use Fancy Widgets for the clock, and The Weather Network for the weather. Two widgets on the home screen. =)
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
MIUI Digital Clock? 3D Digital Weather Clock?
[Captivate Android Development] puckerth:
Not that it really needs to be said again, but great work. Loving MVI so far, OTA, etc. Cheers to the whole team.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
which version of Talon do you recommend? also do i need to get rid of Lagfix? i also agree with others this is by far the laggiest version of mosaic. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I personally haven't had any issues with lag before or after I changed to DarkCore 3.0. Those that are having lag issues is it before or after you restore with TiBu?

The only "issue" I'm having is ADW Launcher EX constantly closing (not Force Closing) whenever I run an app. Although I have experienced a my phone locking up a few times when I wake it up but before I unlock it. Not really sure what's up with that. Using ADW Launcher EX and MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Yeah seems better with Darkcore 3.0 kernal.

Devs, would be cool if there were lock screens that allowed us to add widgets like Widget Locker does, but doesnt suck resources up. Im thinking if this is baked into a ROM it would work better than WL does as an add on app.

Weather, other clocks and media player controls on the lock screen!
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
Absolutely no lag issues here with MVI.

Been running smooth since install
[Captivate Android Development] phrozin:
Just wanted to update, the reason for my problem with everything FC on me was my own inability to read directions. I have it up and running now, smooth as glass. Unbelievable ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
This might be more of a theme post, but I just noticed the "ic_lock_backgrounddata_on.png" icon in framework-res.apk is a ninja, complete with twin sais.

That's awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] jaquez4:
I noticed alot of people have been saying they took our disabled lagfix on their phone, but does leaving it on harm anything?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Nope, do whatever makes you happy. People seem to be getting better results with lagfix disabled but as always, ymmv.
[Captivate Android Development] eureb:
I just removed lagfix, and I noticed that I actually have more memory free, which is making my lag & freezing problems much less

Sent from my magical talking box.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yeah select background data in the theme settings app and that's the icon In the power menu :)

Its actually been there since MV
[Captivate Android Development] philhachey:
No harm done unless you get impatient and pull the battery.

I switch back and fourth whenever it gets laggy.

[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
I was getting pretty awesome battery life :P

Then i started using my phone and managed to push out 36 hours for the entire battery.

Thinking that was good i used the GPS to go to San Francisco and used it on the way back home...

In a matter of 1 hour I was down 70% battery :P

All depends on how you use your phone ;)

[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Well installed the Mosaic VI on my wife's phone last night. But had to do it twice. I had the usb plugged in while transferring all the flies over (my fault). And it had no AT&T connection. So started over. Installed MVI Darkey 3.0 all of her contacts and I got done about 2 in the morning...

It runs so smooth on hers, even better than mine ! She has a newer version of the Captivate, and it has always ran better than mine ?

But keep up the good work, I probably won't update hers anymore, with the exception of Darky's kernels. I will just mess with mine.
[Captivate Android Development] juliobahar:
Very observant you are... And made me go back and check myself :-)

Same here.... Wifey just got her cappy last week. Reluctantly, she let me root and flash MVI earlier this week. I'm waiting for uot to get back online so I can theme them. No lag or fcs to speak of.
