You know there is an Odin for M9?
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Say what now???
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Getting my ducks in a row

Coming from Phownix Ultimate to M9.

Will follow the steps from NunHugger on the first page.

Questions:

- will my phone still be rooted after I am done?

- Is TiBu on the custom ROM? (I will do a app file backup prior)

- The previous page has someone discussing restoring Android ID. If so, what prep must be done prior to imaging the M9 ROM?

- What other items (beyond Contacts, Photos, and Music), do I need to collect prior to imaging?

- What am I missing as far as things to do prior?

thanks!!

Excited to be going to a new ROM.

thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Rooted and tibu included.

That guy did something else to mess up his id, not the roms fault.

Not needed, but never a bad idea to back up all your stuff to a pc, and with a root file explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Isn't Phoenix Ultimate based on Froyo? Because he needs ginger bread bootloaders to be on Mosaic right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
you're right..but the Odin package in post 2 includes bootloaders...all he needs to do is flash that.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Alright. And that odin package is going to be helpful for me, going to save me big time flashing Mosaic on my phone in the future, instead of taking the long way, going to stock then Mosaic.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I would like to make a request pretty please. With the galaxy note coming out in the next week I would like to retire my captivate as a galaxy touch running Mosaic IX. Do you think you guys could make this happen. Pretty please.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
hold power button -> Flight mode on

BOOM... galaxy touch :D
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Wifi? Kinda like that
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
Off topic

Nevermind, i think is normal for captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
i'm assuming by galaxy touch you mean you want it to be basically a galaxy player.

you can put it in airplane mode, and then turn on wifi. you might have to deal with a no sim card icon in the status bar though (not sure if you get that in airplane mode or not...)
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I"m not sure that Android ID = Product code. Reading through those instructions, it doesn't say anywhere to enter the product code, or Android Id that I can tell. Searching for another thread about product code they talk about 3 letter codes, such as OPS or KPR, etc. My Android ID is similar to this: 200130037fbd800c.

BTW...my IMEI is not changed. That seems to be what they discuss on that thread, at least that is all the video covers.

I'll do some investigation further on that post.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
I find the maximum in-call volume to be on the lower side of my liking. Can someone suggest how this could be further increased ? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
not the most elegant solution i will admit...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I've head that Corn kernel now offers audience chip support, you will also need you flash an I897 modem...can't attest to how much better call quality is, i never talk on the phone so i haven't tried it.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Studacris, any word on a fix for t-9 dialing? I sue that every day and miss it from M8.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Lol as i said... I never talk on the phone, not sure what that is.

Like in the dialer you hit the letters in the contacts name? Cause mine does that..
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Kies?

I don't know what's going on. I updated my wife's phone night before last to IX.

Occasionally, when she goes to create a calendar entry, it comes up with the following message:

After hitting OK, it comes up with this message:

I just went into settings, and the Google account exists.

Can anyone help me out with this?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
yes. but if you have multiple people with similar names like "robert A, Robert B and Robert C, you start off typing "rob" (762). in my phone I have 5 entries under that. clicking the drop down arrow shows this:

so thus, I am forced to make sure everyone has a photo, or to type the name fully... In m8, it would actually show each persons name in this screen shot and allow you to choose...
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
That be some white on white issues. Its theme side. We will need to look into it.

Sent from a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Oh, that's an issue with that dialer, meant to fix that lol but slipped my mind.

I'll give it a look over
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
im not running any theming on it yet.... so that may be the issue too... any chance of a red theme?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
My infection theme is red, but i will port the mosaic red theme when i get a chance. Along with the others I've yet to do.

And now that i look...the dialer I'm using does that too (told you NEVER talk on it lmao) so I'll try and fix them.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
In addition to the items above, the screen timeout is not working. She must turn the screen off manually. And Google Voice texts are not sending.

I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to go through the process of the install again.

Wouldn't you know that the install I do on my wife's phone mucks up. :(

Hoping some suggestions fix these problems.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Awesome.. yea, I really liked the Mosaic red. and have been loving M9. put it on my wife's phone too... its been a bit laggy lately so I just swapped to hte 2.5.0cbm semaphone.

also, I do get a ghost screen sometimes when on call, but that is no biggie....
[Captivate Android Development] chavocarlos:
I saw this before since Mosaic VII (i think), but I think was an android "feature" :P ...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Not sure about the calender thing...mine did that too, I'll check it out.

try a 3rd party calander for now maybe?

As for the screen time out though...that's odd, works here.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Ok. She hadn't rebooted for a while. I just rebooted the phone, and all cleared up EXCEPT for the Calendar problem.

In the end if she goes past those messages, she can add a calendar entry, but it is annoying.

I just tried on my phone, and I do not get those messages. Maybe I clicked the 'Do not show this message again', although I do not remember getting the messages. I guess I'll do that on her's, and hope it doesn't really mean some kind of problem.

[EDIT]

Maybe those are just warning message when 'first using a calendar', so a person doesn't think 'My Calendar' on the phone synchs with Google Calendar.

[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Is it ok if I freeze "Software Update 1.5.0"?
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Trying to install...

Coming off Phoenix Ultimate.

Have M9 downloaded, and M9-Odin laid down. I start up Odin...

Removed SIM and External card.

To get into Download mode, with phone powered up, I simply hold the Power button to get the Menu, and from there, I select Download mode. Phone goes into Download mode (and I now see Yellow Warning, with Droid shoveling)...

I plug the phone into the USB... the Computer detects new device, tries to resolve drivers, and fails doing so. What am I missing?

PC is Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I have had no problem previously connection phone via USB (and on the phone, in USB Debugging, allowing that USB connection, and then being able to see the Phone internal and external memory via File Explorer).

Any ideas?

thanks!!

[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Thanks Studa

Followed your link. It has 3 sections: How to Download, How to Recover, and How to deal with connection issues.

I followed the third section, how to connect. I have How To Download covered.

So I have tried different USB PC ports with my trusty (and always has worked) USB cable, and still I get" USB Device not recognized".

Odin is up and running, but any drivers it may expose are not being used.

Keep in mind that my phone does not have the external SD or SIM in it. Also, phone connects just fine when Enabling connection via USB Debugging.

Could it be I am missing some needed drivers? I will say this is the first time I have connected the phone while in Download mode. I will also say that at one point (12+ months ago), I did have some level of drivers sorted out on this PC as I was able to interact with the phone using the latest Kies.

Any ideas?

thanks guys!

and thanks Studa... I see your posts all over (as I spent a few researching this USB Device issue)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Uninstall the drivers you have, reboot and then freshly install these divers
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Got past connection issue, but Odin-M9 failed after Start

Hi Studa (or anyone else who can pull my butt out of this hole)

That USB driver package worked. Went into Download mode. Started Odin-M9. Plugged in phone. Odin reported 0:[COM3] in yellow.

I then: clicked on PDA, and selected the M9.tar.md5, then clicked Start.

It ran for 10 seconds, then FAIL.

Here is what showed in the Message panel in Odin:

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection

<ID:0/003> Initialization..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> factoryfs.rfs

<ID:0/003> Complete (Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I just realized that the SIM and External SD card are in the phone (I had put them back in after last nights failed attempts).

Also, seeing if phone is hosed, I disconnected from USB, popped the battery, tried to power up, and now see a small image in the middle of the black screen, showing a cell phone image on the left, PC on the right, and a yellow warning triangle with exclamation point in between them.

How do I recover from here? What are my next steps? Was not expecting this :) This represents my first Captivate failure, so I am not sure how to proceed, or what state this phone is in now.

This was on a Windows 2008 Server R2 x64. I did not reboot after USB driver install. I could try that

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Go back to that first link i posted, with trouble shooting connection issues.

That screen you're seeing is the "failed flash screen" if you look at the image it's literally saying "hook my ass back up to a computer cause something fudged up"

My guess is a funky usb port with improper voltages, or faulty cable.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
I just updated to Mosaic IX last night and everything went fine. Initially I was able to freeze apps with Tibu. I updated to the latest Semaphore kernel and now I can't get anything to freeze in Tibu. It says that the app is frozen, but nothing has changed. Same if I try to uninstall, it just sits there and when I reboot then the app is gone.

Has anyone else had this problem? I've even tried changing the App processing settings in Tibu.

NEVERMIND: After I went back to Semaphone 2.4.0 the problem is resolved. It looks like whatever was changed in 2.5.0 affected TiBu also.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
I actually have the same exact problem. Also, I cannot restore any of my apps. I can restore the data, but not the apps themselves. When I try to restore the app, it hangs at the restoring app screen. I can exit TiBu, but when I go back into it, it is still trying to restore the app, but it never does. The only way to force TiBu to stop trying to restore the app is to reboot the phone.

I don't know whether this is an M9 issue or a TiBu issue, but it's interesting to see somebody having the same problem I am.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
MOSAIC installed

So I found out how to get back into Download mode from the state I was in

1.Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

2.Insert the battery

3.Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

4.Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

I believe my Odin FAIL was due to the USB port. I switched to a different USB port, and Odin was able to flash the M9 rom successfully.

Thanks Studa and others for the quick responses!! I appreciate it more than you can believe.

Look forward to playing with the new ROM later.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Make sure Usb debugging is enabled. Then in the semaphore app, under misc, choose clean busybox.

If You still get issues go to the market and Dl Busybox installer (developed by stericson) and install latest Busybox to

/system/Xbin

Good deal man! Enjoy :D
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Try Go Launcher...I use to use Launcher Pro.. But I have had a lot better luck with Go.. It seems faster, and you can do more. I really like the folders that you can rename, then put stuff in each one separately. You can also sort the app drawer real fast !
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I might look at Go launcher at some point as well. Right now I'm putting Zeam through its paces. Any experience with Zeam?
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
According to other users, there's an app for that :p

Search the thread for app sorter or something like that (can't remember the name, sorry :( )

EDIT: it's called sort apps, and you can get it in the market :)

I have been using Mosaic since the day it was released. Has been perfect! And my battery life... Awesome!

37% still. Best i have ever had!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I've been using Zeam since December, love it. Light and uses almost no resources, I also prefer to scroll down not side to side.
[Captivate Android Development] dsc522758:
Thanks...it is called Touchwiz AppSorter in the Market but shows up after install as Sort Apps. Worked great.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Thanks for the input. I prefer to scroll down in the app drawer as well.
[Captivate Android Development] jhr5474:
As

for battery life! OMFG!!!!!!!!! I though maybe I was just needing to calibrate my battery and that it was reading wrong or something. But nope its now confirmed this roms battery life is bad ass. I can get 20% drain running at 1.2 ghz with heavy use. I also pulled a 2650 quadrant the other night.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
what dat meen?
[Captivate Android Development] swam1231:
Agreed! I was also thinking something was wrong with the reading as it was too good to be true. Decided to put my Cappy on a endurance test.. With moderate use(1 hr/day for FB, about 90 min/day voice call, NO messaging, 1hr/day Music, 2-3hrs/day GTalk, on WiFi all day, Auto Sync disabled, no overclock), I am currently down to 11% with battery uptime of 2d 17hrs. Trying to hit 3 days without charging. Fingers crossed.

And ya, loads of thanks for this kick-ass ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Battery life has been a real pleasure to see. I don't know if its Mosaic or GB OS itself. I didn't have battery this good with GR12. Also it seems that with GB roms, when checking battery stats, ALL the items being used are shown(i.e xda, launcher, messaging, android os, android system, etc) It seems 2.3 is allocating battery use to the proper apps and places where its needed.

On froyo(2.2), whenever I checked my battery stats it would show display, phone idle, and cell standby and THAT'S IT, no matter how heavy I was using other apps they would almost never show up on battery stats.

Thanks Studa, the problem seemed to be fixed by going back to the default ROM version of Semaphore. It looks like something in 2.5.0 causes the problem.

Screen won't time out...

I am still having problems on my wife's phone with the screen not timing out.

If I reboot the phone, it will time out, but then after a while it stops.

Any suggestions?

BTW... I am running the kernel that comes with IX.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
You can also try forcing TiBu to use the system Busybox instead of the one that comes with TiBu

Open Tibu/menu/preferences/Force system Busybox (its near the bottom).

Should end up with 1.19.3-Stericson, which is what studa packaged M9 with.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Preferences, app processing mode, change to auto (indirect). This solved a problem for me when it would freeze on one app while restoring.

I too received a text from ATT about the Gingerbread update. ATT has gotten much better. Only 43 years after Gingerbread was released. I guess I'll be having a torrid affair with Jane Jetson by the time they release ICS. Who wants their crippled, bloated, sputtering Rom when I have Mosaic? :D

My phone is getting to The Collective splash screen animation, goes black for about 15 seconds, then just goes back to the splash screen again. I've pulled the battery and rebooted only to get the same result. I used the Odin to flash the phone.

Looks like I also can't hold in the volume button and connect the USB for access to download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Download the zip in the op to the computer, pull battery and hold Vol up and power, that will boot into cwm, then plug into pc, from there go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage. Copy zip from pc to phone, unmount, go beck to main menu and install zip from sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] zeropants:
Simple enough. Downloading the zip, but my internet might be slow because it's only going about 50kb/sec. I'll get you an update when it finishes and I can flash from cwm.

FUSION ICS CM9 Stress Test

Just wanted to stop in and say...

FUSION ICS CM9 Public Test

I wonder if I can get a tester or two for a controlled public test tonight? Maybe some one that can recover their device with no help if need be.

Maybe someone that knows how to write a detailed report of flashing and running during the first 30 minutes or so.

just post on the Fusion thread that you would like to help with this and i will shoot you a pm (while supplies last)

Like i said I am just doing a small Controlled Public Test tonight.

With the controls semaphore includes do I need to use anything like set cpu?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You can Use, apps like voltage control or control freak if you want you undetvolt...I've never used set cpu personally so Idk.

the scripts to allow over clocking replace the max clock speed not add another step above it. So it would go:

1000

800

Xxx...and so forth, stock.

And:

(over clock speed of choice)

800

Xxx, when you overclock with the semaphore app.

Hi, I back tho Mosaic 9, after probe other quality ROM but i897 based (Fusion), simply I miss the darkblue accent and semaphore features, and my phone seems to be speedy.

This time I had formatted sd card using dial pad and flash with ODIN one file (before I used CWM because I was going from Mosaic 7, 8, 8.5) ... But it seems to have some lag, and quadrant shows very lower values (I know that could be manipulated, but didn't have to had similar results?) Does ODIN version include some difference with the first Mosaic 9 released? Maybe sd format cause this? Or I should flash again?
