[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That's good advice right there :D

Granted with Captivates sometimes it's not really the ROM that's causing issues but the phone not playing nicely with the ROM which the devs can't really do much about. Now if you really want to help the devs then providing steps you took to reproduce the issue would be a HUGE help. Though I know this can be hard to do sometimes.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
I'm not even going to address the first part of this post but as for the second part I will. Those of us on the team tend to run the ROM as is and try to put it out there once the issues are resolved. Now not all phones are the same, and what works for one may not work for another, even with the same build number and running same software in the same spot. Now not all posts will get a response if we don't know a solution to an issue, and if those issues can't be replicated we can't always provide a solution.

Also remember that the ROMs are based on leaked software from samsung, which has proved they suck at producing a decent ROM, for a phone that isn't ours. Yes there will be issues from time to time and those that work on the dev end of things try their best in their free time to address any issues that they can.

I know you aren't complaining and I am not attacking or anything, just trying to offer some insight for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
True enough about the ubuntu one :P.

Providing the steps I took to install the Rom I put in my first post.... As for what I did to cause the issue, that's the stuff I'm looking for. Are there logs etc? In most cases I can try to remember what I did but I want to make sure I get it right.

For the FC on the phone call I believe I restored all the bluetooth items first then made a call over bluetooth. At the end of the call the Phone functionality FC'd and I had to reboot. Hasn't happened since so it may have been the restore with no reboot.

Most of my things are one-off's but there seems to be something every day.

Like the one I had last night with the time. I had rebooted the phone then set it down for an hour or two, when I looked at it again the only correct time was the fancy widget and the rest were different. Nothing done in between.

Maybe I just need more break-in time but I hope it stabilizes soon :P

*EDIT* oh and can anyone tell me how to stop the auto-rotate on the launcher? but allow auto rotate in the apps. This is the first I've seen my launcher rotate lol.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
That feature is built into the launcher you will need to change launchers and disable the feature. AAs for the FC on phone blue tooth pairings are system data which usually isn't a good idea to restore with TiBu. I suspect some of your issues may be from that. I believe anything that is green in TiBu is system data which usually will cause problems when restored. I don't know about logs, you may have to install a logcat which I know nothing of personally. As for the time issue I have no idea what could be causing that hopefully someone else can step in and address it for you.

Miui Music

I know someone had mentioned this previously... so, the most recent (non dev) version of Miui Music player can be downloaded HERE or in the OTA app's Other section
[Captivate Android Development] merk88:
I installed the GOW Swype but every time my phone reboots I have to restore it with tibu just wondering if there is something i can do to make it stock through a reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Appreciate that Rquiett. The only reason I did the app/data restore of the bluetooth was to fix the slow and non-pairing issue I had and only had the one FC.

I think for now if I can't get the FC/Reboots to reproduce I'll hold on to them for now and if it happens again I'll bring it up. Could be just the rom sinking in.

As for the launcher.. damn was hoping it was just an option. I think I'll just have to get used to it.

Thx!
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
I've noticed that the Bluetooth settings seem to act strange sometimes. If I go in to look at my paired devices nothing is there, but if I exit and go right back in all of them show up. The devices still pair and work fine, just sometimes the list shows as empty.
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
also my phone will light up cuz a charger but nothing will show.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
What will light up? and are you saying when it's being charged there's an issue?
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
no my phone is off, then i plug in a charger and the screen lights (or it did before, no the battery probably died) the screen illuminates but nothing appears
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
You mentioned going back to stock or something like that... did you complete the process? Reload the rom? What were you doing that led up to this point?
[Captivate Android Development] kant5t1km3:
no odin get stuck at factory reset and i cant get into recovery
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
No worries man. I recommend go launcher if you want to try something new. It has a lot of themes available and has quite a few options for it. Let us know if you have any other FC issues and what was going on at the time of it so maybe we can pinpoint whats going on
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
ADW Launcher is pretty nice also, and has a lot of customizations.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Uninstall with Tibu, reboot and make sure its gone, then install it perhaps.

Mosaic is still on CWM 2.5 right now but will be moving to CWM 3.0 soon
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Guess that's another notice I need to put on these modifications correct? I'm using 3.0 Edify scripts... assume they won't work on 2.5, or does 2.5 handle both Amend and Edify? Don't remember if it was included in 2.5 then Amend dropped in 3.0...
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Zeam seems to look fine also... must use the standard icon set like ADW.
[Captivate Android Development] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
So, I noticed that gr12 was using touchwiz 4 how difficult would that be to incorporate by myself? Is it more difficult than changing out the twlauncher4.apk and twframework? Not a big deal, just would like to try it out on mosaic.

How about a cosmic lite with that mosaic battery icon like I mentioned before ?

The rest of it looks fantastic !

Finally a team phoenix gingerbread rom. I was waiting for this. Quick question... If I was coming from the latest continuum 5.2 ext4 file system and wanted to make the switch what do I do besides change the file system back to rfs? I already have cwm 3.0 can I just flash after I changed the file system back? Forgive for the newb question

[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
I am really not sure. I also did update my kernel to t 1.5. I don't think I changed much else today. I just cannot remember if bluetooth was fine right after that.

Also have cwm3

how bout them beastie boys!
[Captivate Android Development] Ebvad:
I was using TW when I said the icons weren't showing. But they do show up with LauncherPro and Regina Launcher. So it was a TW thing.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Yeah, I'll do what I can to update those as well.... all in time.. thanks for the heads-up.
[Captivate Android Development] Ebvad:
I flashed from CWM 2.5 no prob.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
I am not recommending it but I flashed mosaic straight over 5.1 while still on ext4. Your kernel will not change if I am correct. Mine did not.

how bout them beastie boys!
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
Yay!!! I love your icons, but I can't give up the beautiful Mosaic battery!!

P.S. I'm gonna try badabing's purple theme for 2.3. Will let you guys know the outcome :-D
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Battery usage

The battery is quite impressive on this ROM.

FYI... When I put the spare battery yesterday, it was @90% and the reading is from that point. Also, when I put battery back, I do clear dalvik cache and battery stats @ first boot to get best reading. Your mileage may vary. :)
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
And just so I'm clear... you all want the original battery in Mosaic... the upright battery with the % inside of it, correct?

If that's what you want... flash the attached.

Ok... you and Chiki need to get together and decide what ya want. :) I just don't want multi versions floating around on my 'puter... gets kind of confusing after a while. :confused:

It's really not that big of a deal... takes longer to zip it all up and test it then it does to actually make the changes.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
See my previous note... if you want the original plain battery... it's attached above. If not, I'll do the circle battery next from that other theme.

Still here, should be here for another 30 mins or so... then mom comes in and takes over for the evening. I get to go home and deal with the two boys then.

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
This is generally done via memory and trial & error.

Trying to remember what all you did/changed between the phone working and the phone not working.

Going through all those steps again (without changing anything first) a few times to see if it has the same issue each time.

Change everything you changed back to what it was before.

Go through the steps again a few more times to see if the issue occurs again to rule out any changes you did as being the cause.

*edit*

Forgot to mention once you have an idea of the steps you take to cause the issue you should reflash and go through the steps some more before you restore or setup anything to rule out a bad app/setting restoration.
[Captivate Android Development] LongDono:
Not true. This is a new error with Mosaic 7 that did not occur with Mosaic VI. Every application is compatible with application-specific passwords, that is precisely why they exist: to be used in applications that don't support 2-step authentication.

According Google, Android is supposed to prompt you for the application specific password if required, but when I go to the Talk app, it just hangs on the signing in screen. If I dismissed the authentication error with either of the 2 options, the notification would just come back. Quite annoying.

For the others with the "Google talk authentication failed" notification, here's what fixed it for me:

1. On your PC, go to Google Accounts, specifically, the application-specific passwords screen

2. Revoke the previous application password for your Android

3. Generate a new application-specific password for your Android

4. Reboot your phone

5. Your phone should give a notification, "hey, something has changed, baby" (or similar) and ask for your Google password. Give it the newly generated application-specific password.

6. Enjoy Mosaic 7 without Google Talk authentication notifications and a working Google Talk client (I use Trillian tho) :)

[Captivate Android Development] Pvster:
finally got around to flashing the rom, great stuff as always.

ran into a problem though sadly and i cannot figure it out. while on mosaic VI, i backed up my apps via tibu, moved the tibu folder to external sd and removed sd. rebooted into recovery and flashed rom. let rom do its thing, reboot again, all clear, so i shut down and reinstall external sd, then reboot. i update tibu to pro, delete the new tibu folder, go to the external sd and move the tibu folder back to original location then go to batch operations and try to restore missing apps, but nothing comes up in the list and none of the apps get restored. what do i do now?
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Had same problem one time, I had to close out tibu, twice and rebooted and then it seen file.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
LOL. +1 10 Char
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
When you do something like that and TiBu doesn't see it it's usually because the Media Scan didn't take place after you moved the folder so you have to force a media scan (by rebooting not sure if there's another way to do it) and you should be good.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You can mount and then unmount it on your PC, I use an app called gallery excluder, it let's you choose what folders you don't want to show up in the gallery and places a .nomedia file in it, it has an option to run media scanner.

Pvster, You may also need to clear data for tibu..
[Captivate Android Development] Pvster:
cliftomr1082, Kyuta Syuko, studacris, THANKS! that did the trick.

ok i missed something, swype isnt working for me. perhaps a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Totally forgot about the USB mounting...

The default Swype no longer works because a new beta is out. You'll have to sign-up for an account if you don't already have one at beta.swype.com and uninstall Swype using TiBu and reboot prior to installing the new beta. Or you can download the GoW themed Swype posted a few pages back as I think people have said that one will still work.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Quick question regarding the Unicore kernel - is the availability of custom boot animations tied to that kernel in some fashion? I flashed the Talon 0.5.1.2 kernel, and after doing that, it reverted back to the Samsung .qmg animation, and it appears that I can't use custom boot animations any more.

Not a huge deal, just wanting to know if I understand the relationship between the kernel and boot animations.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I guess I didn't read the two-step page very well. I had thought it said it wasn't compatible with two-step or app specific. I'll have to give this a try and see what happens. I just had punching in those app specific passwords again, they suck...but that's what they are there for.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yrs its tied into the kernel. On darkcore/unicore they are named bootanimation.zip on talon they are named sanim.zip just go to /system/media and rename it.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Appreciate the advice. I bit the bullet and tried talon out along with the memory settings and still had issues. Had the browser open for two mins and it rebooted my phone. This happened 3 times in a row. Reverted to unicore and same. Today I couldnt answer the phone as it locked up on the incomming call.

Sigh, the end result? Wiped, factory reset, installed V, the V fix zip, montage V, and since it was back to the same version as my tibu backups I did before going to 7 I did a full app and data restore.

Happy to say my phone is happy and fast again. No fc or reboot on browser. No lag. Miss the unicore boot screen though and the new market and I really hope I get the fast bluetooth connect I had with 7 but at least the phone is responding again.

I just tested this out, and it worked for me: If you create a CWM installable .zip package with 2 copies of the same boot animation in them, one named bootanimation.zip and one name sanim.zip, it will install both into the /system/media folder (or just copy both into that folder with a root explorer, I think...), and regardless of whether you're using Talon or a Darkcore variant, it will show your custom animation.
