Lolz actually mrhaley30705, the newest member of the collective, made the package,

and nun gave me his log in info so i could edit the post after i tested it myself, cause his wife has the captivate now.

So...unless he changes his pw i could have some fun with that in the future lolol
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Changing pw now ;)

Sent from a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
i subconsciously stopped reading the second sentence after "log"... and i giggled.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Thanks to all the Collective for asking me to join them.

As for the package, it's not that hard to do. Just takes awhile.

Edit

And it's not cheating. DaGr8 actually did it first with Saurom. It's about going the extra mile for our users.

[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Hi everyone!

Its been a year or so since I came onto the board here. Last time I was here, I was reading all the Phoenix (and Firefly) posts... and ultimately went with Phoenix Ultimate. This is what I had today...

I recognize names associated with the Collective group, so I see some of the gang is still here, contributing great work.

Quick question, and forgive me, but I want to update my ROM but don't want to scan pages upon pages on this thread to determine the state of the ROM. Whats the general opinion on stability? I know back when I was installed Phoenix Ultimate, the updates were less on stability and more on theming... The FireFly project had been underway a bit, and Adam had just gotten his HTC, so he was off in those threads... Is this ROM fairly stable?

Nun, I saw your post a page or so back about no more having to go to stock GB, and that you had updated the instructions. I looked at thos instructions and it looks completely simple. Again, I have Phoenix Ultimate, which the phone reports as 2.2.1. Can I Odin this puppy straight up?

If so, I assume that I can Titanium backup my apps, and then restore (as I have done many times reloading Phoenix). I also assume the phone will still be rooted after upgrade.

Am I good to go?

thanks all! Noce seeing some familiar names still here...

Yup! You're the first victim..errrr i mean.... lucky user!!!

Lol jk, i tested it this morning before i uploaded it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
And i tested it before i uploaded for studa.
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Tested it? Thats no way to do things. You should have uploaded it first. Let 100 people download it and then have them come back and tell you it bootloops before you test it. Geez, you must be new to this dev stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Not when playing with bootloaders. Any other time is ok, but not with BL's
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
Absolutely not with bootloaders, its not like I'm speaking from experience or anything, but I know someone this happened to, but I will never tell.

Ok I'm done mucking up your thread, sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] glpenguin:
Not wanting to be the fly in the ointment, so to speak, for studa. But I'm hung. Been running ICSSGS 3.1 on roommates phone and was good but with a few bugs. Been itching to flash something new when I saw M9. Convinced her to let me "improve" her phone. Tried to flash straight from 3.1, for giggles, and no go. No surprise. Oden'ed back to stock and Kies up to 2.2 and I still hang at about 50% of factoryfs. Third try and doing same thing. Am sure I'm missing something and will figure it out, just thought I would throw my experience into the conversation. :)

Ha, spoke too soon. Fourth time the charm. Before I would flash back to stock and try again. This time I just pulled the battery. Re hooked in download and ran Odin 3 again.... and it went all the way through. Thanks. Am looking forward to playing with this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
kies is crap and not needed. Nor is it needed to flash to 2.2 to load mosaic go back and read post two for the directions
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That's not the package..that's just Odin being Odin.

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Good deal.

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
If the verbal volleyball isn't any indication of the rom's stability I'll just throw in that Mosaic 9 with Semaphore 2.4.0 or 2.5.0 (what I'm using) has been solid, no random reboots for me and good battery life over clocked at 1200 MHz with undervolting. I know it's different for each user but M9 has been great for me. So that's my stamp of approval. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
How many do you undervolting? sometimes skyfire closes if my cappy has undervolting at 1.2.

Sent from the center of the earth.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
I know I am light years from Phoenix Ultimate, and pages of reading away from this question, so I hope you take pity on me:

Undervolting: I get that, as I build my own PCs and participate in the OC realm. I assume whats being discussed is the kernel allowing you to lower the voltage. Question is why do we do this? Is this for battery performance?

Semaphore: I see this is the kernel, and it appears that the latest ROM (M9) has 2.4.0c. Question: Are people usually sticking with the Kernel built with the ROM package, or are they overlaying seperate kernels? As far as kernel, and ROM in general, I am looking for stability over cpu and voltage tweaking, which I consider bonuses on top of stability.

thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Only comment lately is that the damn phone keeps telling me that I should update the music app. Since Google music is the tool of choice and I'm a canuck it tells me to please eff off in the market :D.

I could google for the apk but figured some good, kind, bored, possibly undead soul could link 4.1.512?

Well crap can't get the apk to copy over. Super says I don't have root or busybox and busybox says I have multiple copies already under way. . Sigh.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Couple options...in semaphore app go to misc. Section and clean busybox.

Or instead of dropping it in /system/app just uninstall the current copy with tibu, reboot for good measure, and just install the new one as a regular app.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
So I'm not sure if this is a bug but it seems kind of strange to me.

I installed M9 and the Firefly theme, normally I have the glass lock screen that comes stock, but whenever I have a missed call it changes to the puzzle lock screen with the glass lock screen in front of it. I can use either screen to unlock the phone, but they seem redundant. Is anybody else seeing this? I don't have any other lock screens installed, just stock M9 with the Firefly theme.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That's how it should work, only not the double locks though...

You should just be able to drag the puzzle piece to the spot and it open to the call log to check your missed call.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You can use either one, with my background I couldn't see where to drag the puzzle piece so I would just swipe the glass screen instead. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
Both lock screens work as they should (I can use both of them at the same time), they're just layered on top of each other. It seems to me like it might be an issue with the theme.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Undervolting is nescessary if and when you start getting crashes on a mild overclock, say 1200 MHz. The voltages are preset at the factory to cover all the slight differences in chip manufacturing at 1000 MHz so when you OC the chip might already have more voltage than needed and overheat at certain frequencies. That is my understanding of it, please chip in for corrections anyone. ;)

That is why it takes time to find the correct voltages at each frequency step. For my phone the sweet spot has been

1200 MHz -75 mV

1000 MHz -75 mV

800 MHz -75 mV

400 MHz -100 mV

100 MHz -100 mV

using the noop scheduler and ondemand governor. That works for MY phone and has for over a year now regardless of the rom or kernel. The undervolting also helps you maintain good battery life while enjoying a visible boost in performance and smoothness.

It takes some patience and time but you just need to remember to only change one thing at a time then test with Stability Test and NeoCore, rinse and repeat until you have everything stable. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
YAY!!!

I just got a text message from AT&T letting me know that:

"An important software update is available for my Samsung Captivate. To update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread..." followed by the link to do so.

LOL... see AT&T might not be good for much, but at least they give you a good chuckle once in a while. :)
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
Woo Hoo!!!!! A downgrade, let me at it!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Hey, that means that 9-10 months from now we'll get a message saying, "Google has released the source code for Android version 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich! Look for a release somewhere in the next 6-9 months!". I can barely contain my excitement.
[Captivate Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
The key to undervolting is take it slow. Make sure you are stable before moving to the next level. Personally I've never been able to get a -0. 75v with an overclock. Every phone is different. If you get fc's bump it back up a notch. I would suggest starting with slowly getting your oc to where you want it. Then make the voltage changes.

Remember that oc/uv problems are not supported by the rom makers. If you get fc's or anything else, the first thing you need to do is remove any oc/uv and see if that fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
Is a good idea to stress CPU to test it? does not it reduce life of the processor?.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
LOL, I got this text yesterday too. Had to have a chuckle over that as I showed the message to a friend. He was like "Haven't you been running that for awhile?" Thanks being on top of it AT&T! :rolleyes:

Fantastic Battery Life

I am using a 2600 MAH battery discussed in this thread. I have set the governor in Semaphore Manager to Save Battery. I have set the underclocking as suggested in this thread multiple times.

I just plugged in the phone, after 3 days 5 hours on the battery, with 8% remaining.

I have not used it overly heavy, but do have this on that time:

4 hours with BT Music playing, and doing data entry into Jefit, during 2 workouts

Blue Tooth on all the time

GPS on all the time

WiFi on almost all the time

I'm definitely happy with this ROM and Kernel combination.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That's why I said to change one thing at a time then test with Stability Test and NeoCore, they will quickly show whether your stable or not. :cool:

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Awesome battery life even if it was "light use", still quite good on these phones. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
At one time or another, I read that the max SAFE voltage on a cappy was 1300mV, which usually translates to about 1200 mhz. This number was from Samsung in their product testing. Where I read it, I don't remember exactly. I think it was in one of the Continuum threads. As for UV, I don't see the point. There is not usually enough gained to warrant the headache involved in dialing in a UV profile. I usually just OC to 1200mhz and leave it there. Honestly, do you really need your phone to run at 1700 mhz all the time? If so, you should consider a new device. If not, then flash and enjoy Mosaic IX.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Thanks for the undervolting discussion. I will explore it if I install this ROM.

On my post asking about Undervolting, I mention stability.

What is the stability of this ROM? Are people generally happy, and not having frequent issues?

I am anxious to upgrade, but don't want to jump too much on the bleeding edge of a given ROM. I get the sense this ROM is mostly sorted out, but looking for opinions.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
This is very stable. I've had it on my development captivate for awhile and had no problem. I did switch to the Talon kernel, but merely due to preference.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Rom is stable. Never had a hiccup.

Now the stability of the dev team....that's another story.

Anyone have problem with GPS in this Rom? I try but my GPS dont work at all. I dont know this Rom use what modem and that can be use in Asia?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I am finding it VERY stable. I abuse my phone with LOTS of apps. I have over 100 installed.

What I do find, interestingly, is that if I have run several different apps over time without a reboot (haven't tried to figure out if it is a certain app), and with the fantastic battery life I am seeing, that happens fairly often, it may get slow. I just click on the System Monitor widget for closing all apps, and it is then happy again. I have experienced this on all ROMS I have used.

I have had it, on rare occasions, seem to lock up. But I think that is one of those apps 'gone wild' :p Quite interestingly, it is in that state right now:(

Can't answer about Asia. But re: the GPS: I have found it to be about like all other ROMS. Marginal at best. For my phone, it must have clear line of sight to sky (ie. mounted in a position for site up through windshield...not through roof of car. Works fair there but does consistently have the blue circle showing.

To get good GPS, I use an external GPS keychain dongle, and it is Spot On, works excellent...and again, I find that to be the case over several different ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Can I get more info on the external GPS keychain dongle please?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Well, if it locks up at 1200 Mhz and undervolting keeps it from doing that then that is a great reason to undervolt. The phone defaults at 1325 mV at 1200 Mhz and though the gains may be small less voltage at every state equals less voltage used, period. Add that to increased performance with an overclock and you've got your reason as to why people suffer the "headache" of getting a little more out of their phone. Not meaning anything by that, just pointing to a few reasons besides a bad addiction that we mess with that stuff. :cool:

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Like I said earlier the rom is very stable* and that is why there isn't a huge amount happening in this thread. You have others saying it's stable too.

As embarrassing as it might sound, I haven't followed this forum for last few months and I want to upgrade my Cappy to Mosaic 9. I'm currently on Mosaic 6. Are there any additional things I should be aware of, apart from the instructions in first post to upgrade ? Appreciate your help.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
i think your only surprise will be "holy crap why am i just now upgrading?"

seriously though, if you're already on mvi, just backup, reboot to recovery, flash mix, restore apps, go for gold.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Thanks for the advice. I'm in India right now and can't afford a brick. SO wanted to be extra sure. Also, I'm currently using these bootloaders. Do you forsee any issues flashing MIX on them ?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
i think the i9000 bootloaders are still recommended, but i'm using the ones you have right now without any problems. besides, flashing bootloaders is one of the riskiest things you can do.

I would have a copy of odin handy just in case something goes crazy though..
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
+1 on those boot loaders no issues on M9 for me either
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Thanks for the support. I was able to upgrade to MIX and it feels lot smoother than MVI.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yeah...the only issue with captivate bootloaders on an I9000 base is the Samsung music player will skip and lag while the screen is off....but i didn't include the Samsung player, it's google music in m9 so you should be good.

I personally use the i9k boots simply because i prefer the button combos.

Installing Mosaic-> Need to be on stock 2.2?

I am fuzzy on this. I installed IX on my phone right after IX came out.

I may be having brain farts, but it seems to me that at that time in the OP or next post or two, it said that before updating we needed to be on stock/original 2.2, and also had links to a tutorial besides the original install instructions in the OP.

I've found this solid enough I want to put on my wife's phone now.Been working fairly well for her. But ready improve. It is currently shows this in About Phone:

Firmware version: 2.21

Baseband version: i9000UGJK4

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 reoriented_balls#3

Buiold number: Serendipity3.5.2.

Should I be able to upgrade from this based on the OP page, or do I need to go through some other steps first?

[EDIT]

I just went back to OP again, and then followed the link titled "Got Questions", and I suspect the answer is there. Continuing on to read that...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yeah...i removed those links, and replaced it with that m9 Odin package.

It includes everything needed, bootloaders and all. No need to go to stock anything... Odin overwrites all of it, overwriting a custom ROM is the same as a stock one :)

Just follow those steps in post 2 and enjoy :D

out of all things, on Mosaic 9 the gallery app seems to use a ridiculous amount of CPU.. more than the system! any idea why?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
It's the stock gallery, who knows. Try quickpic instead. I think you will like it.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
It's a 3D gallery, takes a while to load and samsung made it to be good looking, not battery efficient.

As mrhaley suggested, Quickpic is a very good one. It's light and quite fast!
[Captivate Android Development] ap1618:
Can I freeze the gallery without affecting any other system apps?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Dunno actually, but unfreezing it wouldn't be difficult is it did cause issues. So have at it :)
[Captivate Android Development] davep13:
Bump. This problem is keeping me from fully enjoying any ROM. Could the problem be rooted in my i9000 BLs?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
No, not a bootloader issue, i dunno what that is man, have you tried a full wipe and limited app restore with tibu, only restoring what you can't live without?
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
As a second step with the limited Tibu restore, you may also want to try an app-by-app restore (again, only the apps you absolutely need). You might find the app or apps that are causing the issue and can further troubleshoot from there.
[Captivate Android Development] davep13:
I have not had too much time to try this yet as college keeps me quite busy, but I will try that this weekend. This would be the equivalent of reflashing the ROM correct?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Device ID

I used to use Android Device ID to change my id back to what it is supposed to be. It is incompatible with GB, I guess.

Any suggestions on how to do that/or what app to use?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Use a root file explorer, and grab the build.prop from /system in the ROM zip, then drop it in the same place on your phone. Then reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
It shouldn't cause problems. That's one of those i freeze almost immediately and it is not a problem.
