I'm a noob, please help me out

Hello,

I was using Phoenix ROMS on Froyo, and since I wanted to use Gingerbread, I changed to 2.3.5 MIUI ROM. Although I like MIUI, the battery is killing me. I have to charge for at least 2 times to 100% and that's a deal breaker for me.

Now I'd like to come back to Mosaic VI/Fusion, but I'm not able to make my computer recognize my Phone. I connect my phone and I can see my phone internal and external SD Cards, but it still won't recognize my phone.

I have done the following

1) I have changed USB Cables

2) I had uninstalled my Kies and another Samsung USB driver for i897 driver in my installed programs and tried re-installing one at a time

No matter what I do, my computer/ODIN doesn't recognize my phone. And because I'm in MIUI, I can't go to recovery mode and flash my Mosaic VI

Could you hand me a lifeline here?

1) Do I need to come back to Stock 2.3 GB to root to Mosaic VI from MIUI 1.9 ROM? Is there any other work around?

2) Is there any other way to make my computer recognize my phone?

3) If somehow I'm successful, should I choose Mosaic or Fusion?

Thank you for your help. I know it's a bit of a pain helping out a noob, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I'd recommend going back to stock from Miui, NOT trying to jump straight to a custom 2.3

You should be able to get into recovery from Miui. A couple things to try first, reboot your computer AND your device. The drivers are the same to use Odin with Miui as they are with any other ROM. The only difference for Miui, is if you want to use ADB, you'll need the Nexus S drivers

noo i missed a beta. damn you wifey for falling and spraining your ankle and making me take you to the hospital. this is what i miss out on, a new beta :(

p.s. if i dont post in the next few days it means my wife saw this post and beat me to death with her crutches lol.
[Captivate Android Development] dru1226:
I have no clue what the "irc" is
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Ok, as I re-read this, your computer can recognize your phones internal and external SD cards, I'd say you're not getting into Download correctly. First off, which Odin are you using? 1Click? Second, if you are, remove your sim, and external SD(if you have one). I do this "just in case". Pull your battery, put it back in, open Odin, press/hold vol+ and -, while doing that inset the USB cable. Your screen will show the Android dude and a yellow triangle. You should see your device show up in Odin

You are right, I was able to do this time correctly. I've been stuck with MIUI for a while, and I've been very frustrated. I've bought a couple of USB cables as well lol,

Thanks a ton mate. If I had a chance, I'd multi thank you and increase your thank meter to infinity. Cheers. I'm right now rooting to stock, and being the noob I am, I will run into more issues :)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Glad you got it! It can be a little confusing at first. But the more you mess with it, the more you'll figure it out. Make sure to read well, there are a couple things that could cause you some real troubles

If you have questions, ask away....
[Captivate Android Development] fishfingers15:
Ok, I'm not in stock 2.3 without auto rotation. According to instructions, I should again get into download mode and flash Xcal's Kernel. But again holding down on Volume button +/-, I'm not getting into the download mode. It will only show me the green battery charging.

I've done the following

1) Removed sim and sd cards.

2) Removed battery for awhile

3) Put the battery back on and held the volume buttons.

4) Opened Odin and plugged in the usb cable to my phone.

It won't go to the download mode, but it'll show me the green battery.

Any suggestions now?
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
As for new stuff.

Download mode is no longer what it was, now it is hold volume down and power.

Recovery is now up and power

Thanks for the heads up dsmitty166

Some have had to use this to get into DL

vol down + soft home key + power (In that order)

I've got to say, you guys are really helpful. Thank you very much.

Mosaic vii beta question

Hello Mosaic Crew,

Wow! I must start by saying that on initial install, I got whiplash from the speed of the new ROM. Out of curiosity, what version of gingerbread was vii built from?

I do have another question - was vii built more for performance over multi-tasking?

Great job as always; no complaints here.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Jvr.

And the focus is on overall usability.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not a Dev, but I think they said somewhere that it's based off JVR. I'm sure one of the Devs will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Thanks for the info studacris. I've probably got way too much going on in the background that is causing the lag, but like many users, I want my phone to do it all and make me a sandwich. Guess I'll have to kill some apps and make that sandwich myself. A man can dream though...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The DarkCore 3.0 Kernel has some highly aggressive LMK settings which just wasn't cutting it for me so I switched to TalonDEV 4.4.22 which allows you to tweak LMK, ZRAM, and Swappiness for your needs either simply via Memory Freak (just gives you 3 different LMK choices and sliders for ZRAM and Swappiness) or by going in and editing the /system/etc/ram.conf file yourself.

[Captivate Android Development] fishfingers15:
Upgraded to Mosaic VI and loving it. Battery lasts long and I'm still getting used to it. Thanks a ton for all your help.
[Captivate Android Development] gangpe:
Thanks Kyuta;

It's crazy. Last night, I downloaded the beta, knowing that I needed to crash early. Yeah, that didn't happen - I ended up reinstalling everything. Problem was when I tried to restart, it just kinda hung there. Went over to Talon, and I did play around with the memory settings. Hopefully that will hold me over until either someone finds that magic balance between performance and multitasking, or I can shell out for something with a bit more ram (c'mon team mosaic, I know someone has got to be looking at the new galaxy s2...)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Buy me one and I will build you whatever you want!!

Until then I a broke as a spoke on a wagon wheel of the oregon trail after everyone dies of dysentery.

So you're not necessarily broke but surrounded by potentially infectious corpses?

Oh.. you're a zombie. Makes sense.
[Captivate Android Development] gangpe:
Hahah, nice!

The wife has got me under lock and key when it comes to buying new gadgets. Thankfully, I've got a sister who cares two turtle squirts about her upgrade. She can have my cappy, so I can still keep an eye on it and tell her she's doing it wrong. That's assuming that all goes according to plan.... That, or I'll be buried with my captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
Thanks man, I been lookin for those!
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
Yes I am using explorer, I should have been a little more specific, sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
And me? I'm so broke I can't even pay attention...
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Bwhahahah broke... yeah aren't we all =/

I'm not due for an upgrade til March 1st anyways. Even then I doubt I can pull up funds for a new phone. However why would I wanna walk away from my Cappy when Mosaic is keeping it nice and speedy? :D
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
Just had something weird happen when messing around with EDT Tweaks. Changed lockscreens a couple times and it was really laggy, but if I try to change lockscreen wallpaper on SGS2 it force closes also if I touch lockscreen delay or lockscreen timeout it force closes. It shut off on me once and had to pull the battery when I pressed lockscreen delay.

On another note, this ROM is blazing fast, and I haven't had it on charge since I flashed it Sunday morning and I have wore it out playing with it(the phone I mean) and I am plugging it in now at 32%. Quite a bit better than I was getting on MVI.
[Captivate Android Development] dkucera:
this a really good rom. it should be released for all to enjoy.

Well someone has to ask and it might as well be me and get it over with...when will we MVIII with jvs?
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
Have you gone to the irc to see if the file is still available? That is how I got it yesterday.

Alright, I did something bad potentially...

I did a Nandroid backup through CWM. Then I flashed the MVII beta, all I can say is FAST!!!!

Due to my idocity, I forgot to rerun TiBu backups to get my latest data stored. So I realized some of my data is old so I attempted to resotre my Nandroid backup.

This is where the trouble began. Firstly, I thought Nandroid backuped up your Kernel, it still looks like the kernel bootscreen for MVII after my restore. 2ndly, its been sitting on said boot screen for damn near an hour. I pulled the battery, went into recovery, re-ran the restore and then made sure I had Voodoo disabled. Same things, sits there.

Then I decided to re-flash MVII beta to at least get a boot...same problem. Just sits on the kernel 'Unicore' bootscreen.

What did I do and does anyone have a solution on how to fix it? I've never had this problem with nandroid backups, not sure what is going on. Any help is appreciated. Oh yeah, and I'm at work so options need to be pretty limited to things through Recovery.

I do however have my personal laptop with me, I just won't be able to download anything new. I have the standard list of stuff, ODIN, drivers, etc already loaded.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I would go to post 2 of this thread and start over from step 1. (If you can given your limitations)
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
Reflash your previous rom, the same one you did the nandroid backup of. Boot up completely and then choose reboot into recovery. Then run the restore.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Hoping to avoid all of that but that is the final option.

Trying this right now, we'll see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Nandroids should only be restored to the set up it was backed up from.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Good to know. Learning something new every day. So I flashed MV, what I was at before. Rebooted from recovery and its sitting on the SGH-I897 load screen but I just hope its doing an ext4 conversion, I didn't hear the pretty lady talk but I have only ever heard it once with all of my flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
You are clearing D cache and cashe belore and after the MVI flash, then restore correct?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Think I forgot that on the last attempt. Going to try that now. *fingers-crossed*

UPDATE: No dice, back to the first post :(
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Quick question about the headset under MVII Beta:

I'm no longer able in a call to press the little button on the headset that comes with the Captivate to end the call. Is this something anyone else is experiencing, or is it just me? I'm trying to troubleshoot where the issue is, and before I dig too deep, I'm just wanting to make sure I'm the only one with the issue.

Oh - and a couple things that might be affecting it:

- I'm using Google Voice to make calls

- Default Kernel/Modem setup that comes with M7b

- Using (I think) the acidtweaks. I've at least got a file by that name in /etc/init.d
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
I was afraid to try to reflash the acid tweaks. My phone is so fast now I am afraid it might get a speeding ticket!:D
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Just to let you know, if you open your /etc/inti.d folder and see a file called s99acidext4tweak, don't flash the acid tweaks. You'll get a bootloop.

I did that to my phone, but I fortunately had a CWM backup from just before I did it and was able to restore the /system section.
[Captivate Android Development] metlmangreg:
Soooooo..... that means it is still enabled, right?
[Captivate Android Development] DarkisFever:
This actually happened to me! I got stuck on the new Kernal screen on boot also. I had a backup in CWM but and restored but it didn't work since the kernal was still in place. What I did to fix it was I did a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache. Then I re-installed MVI as it was on my SD. Reboot fine to VI. I went back into CWM and repeated the resets/wipes. Then I made sure my Lagfix was ENABLED since it wasn't when first trying to install the beta (Mind you I re-enabled the lagfix before I install VI). Once that's all done I ran VII Beta again and it worked perfectly.

Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
I guess so. The odd thing is that it was there after I wiped and flashed the new rom. Either the flashing doesn't get rid of things in the /etc/init.d folder, or it's part of the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I've got it there and I've never flashed the tweaks, MVII beta 2 so......... We can assume

I ended up going back to stock GB through Odin and such. Thankfully I am restoring things now and I can actually use my phone again. It sucked not being able to do anything all day.
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
yea it is because every single time i reboot for some reason my market gets restored back to the old one on both roms. it has to update all the time my phone starts up. gets very annoying cause sometimes it doesnt update and the old market is screwed up or something. other than that the acid tweaks r still on. no need to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You still talking about that beta?

If so, Please stop this isn't the place to discuss such matters.

And look in system/app If there are 2 markets: com.android.vending.apk is the orange one from MVI and any other market well just be vending.apk. Delete the one you don't want to use.

Why am I all wrong? My daughter restarted her chemo treatments after being off for a few weeks due to her operation... so, she's "fine"... while she watches the Disney channel I flip back and forth between work and here. :)

Some odd things with the cosmic stuff that I'm noticing... so consider it a WIP. :)

I can change the battery back if that's the consensus... not making multiple versions though... at least not until I figure out all the other issues.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I'm sure there are... possibly in the Theme's thread (not being sarcastic... just would be the first place I'd look)

The quick and easy method... open up the apk or framework file that you want to modify with 7zip. under the /res folder there are several drawable folders that contain the majority of the images being used. Find the ones you want to change, change them with photoshop, gimp, etc.. then put them back into the apk.

That's pretty much the 101 class. :) no need to start mucking around with the xml files right off the bat.
