Fixed

Just to add an ending to my question/issue, I've got it fixed. Somehow, when my phone was flashed to Mosaic it wiped the Message centre number. Called AT&T and after 20 minutes, their tech support actually figured it out. Go figure. Input the correct number and BAM, its fixed!!!! :) Thanks to all that provided advice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Weird. You need the AT&T messaging number in contacts to send text messages?

Did not know that. Hmmm.

Well, flashing a ROM always wipes all contacts, and this is an I9000 based firmware, so the AT&T numbers aren't preinstalled.

So now, just sync all your contacts to your Google account, then next time you flash, your contacts including that number, will be restored as soon as you sign in in your Google account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Could also save your contacts to your sim card. Those won't be erased.

Right, but Sim cards can be destroyed relatively easily, don't think the Google servers are going down anytime soon. ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
Hey guys, I'm running the 2.3.5 Rogers update on my Cappy. I'm not rooted or anything. Looking to install something smoother since this version of 2.3.5 goes narcoleptic daily. >_<

Not sure if it's been asked yet (I skimmed through about 20 of the first pages), but can I just use the Odin M9 file to flash my phone, or do I need to Fuguroot/etc. first, then flash via the phone? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
The Odin M9 file should get you where you're going. It's a full package, including bootloaders, as I understand it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
Sweet. That makes life easier! :D

I thought we were only supposed to ever flash a GB bootloader once? Maybe I misread something...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It's not that you can only do it once, it's just people get all ancy and scared because it's the only way to brick, bit add long as you don't touch anything during the flash you'll be ok. I personally have flashed boots hundreds of times at this point, my cappy is still alive.

Also, on the m9 package, the boots aren't flashed til the very very last thing, that way if it somehow does become disconnected it's highly likely it will be before that critical couple of seconds that boots are being written. big ole thanks to Mr.haley on that one. He made the Odin package, and he made it perfectly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
Alright, so I successfully installed Mosaic IX on my Cappy yesterday morning. Runs great, but one small issue:

I'm getting the Gingerbread Charging Bug. I charge to 100%, and if I leave it for a while or use it while its plugged in, the battery drops when I unplug. I've calibrated numerous times, and my battery is good, so it's gotta be the bug. I've never had it in my year of being on GB until I flashed Mosaic IX.

Any workaround to the issue (alternate kernel, etc.)?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquiett:
If it is only dropping a few percent that is normal and built into the system by Samsung.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
Negative. It depends on how long its left plugged in or how long its used before being unplugged. If I leave it for a couple hours, it'll drop 5-6%. However, I left it overnight, and it dropped to 85%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pick_A_Name:
If you're losing 15% overnight, then that's normal...especially on a year old battery. As far as losing 6% in a couple hours, try BetterBatteryStats app. Do a search on XDA for the thread and you can get the app there. They are very helpful to. It'll help you figure out exactly what's eating your battery without using any in the process looks some other apps such as CPU Spy.

No need to be sorry was just trying to get you on the same page. as the old wise one I thought you may know something about it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Yep, that's the charge bug. Suffer from it myself on I9000roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
I ended up flashing over from M9 to Legend 4 because of it. Loved the ROM, but my phone must have a bone to pick with KK4, because I would get numerous slowdowns/lockups daily, requiring a battery pull. I even updated to Legend 5 with the full-wipe when it came out, reflashed, completely wiped the data, and within a few days, low and behold...the issues returned.

I couldn't take it anymore today, so I flashed Serendipity VII on a whim, and whaddya know, no charging bug issues. My main issue is that (while SVII is great) for me, it just doesn't compare to the work and support you all put into your ROMs. :)

I'm stewing about giving M9 another shot and seeing if maybe the charging bug came from a bad flash, since SVII isn't giving me any issues at the moment aside from the blasted WiFi not wanting to turn back on half the time (a common issue with 2.3.3 for me, it seems). I'd have to disable the lagfix, etc., and it would be a royal PITA, but I'd be ecstatic if it worked! :D

EDIT: Well, whaddya know!? I flashed Mosaic IX yesterday, and the charge bug is gone! No idea how that happened. This time, I didn't use the Odin flashable package, I just flashed the Mosiac_9.zip in CWM. Wonder if it has anything to do with me using stock AT&T GB I897 boots instead of the I9000 boots included in the Odin package.

Only thing I HAVE noticed, though, is that if I receive a text message while the phone is charging above 90%, the phone immediately tells me the phone is charged and to unplug. Unplugging the phone drops the percentage to whatever it was before the text message was received, and leaving it plugged in for a little while longer charges the phone to ACTUAL 100%. Odd, but I can live with it! Anyways....SWEET! :D

EDIT #2: Epic fail. Charging bug surfaced after a couple days of use. Bummer.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japhy10:
I love this ROM but I would like to speed it up a bit. I'm still a bit confused about kernels and which one I should flash for this ROM. I'm afraid I'll flash the wrong one and cause some problems. Can I just grab any speedmod I want and flash away or are there only certain ones I can use with this ROM. I've been reading for quite a while and can't seem to find a clear answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Any

GB kernel

will do, just make sure it's GB and not ICS, JB (or froyo). Semaphore was probably my fav with this ROM, here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338372
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Semaphore is included wolf....So you just linked him to the kernel he is already running :p

I'd go with talon as an alternative....as that's really the only other choice for gb
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Haha right! my bad, Cappy died so haven't been able to check :/

Altough, is it bigmem? cause that could help ;) Either way, both Sempahore and Talon are great!

There is a bigmem version of talon yes. But that breaks HD recording, so if you like to shoot a lot of videos i wouldn't go with that one.

The non bigmem works very well also.

Quick question, do you have the GB bootloaders?

As for your cwm, it's fine if you can flash it at the first place.

Yes sir I sure do.I think I just have a crazed cappy LOL I dont get it I have flashed this rom so many times to this phone.After I reflash Mosiac from speed mod kernal or any other that work if freezes at the galaxy s boot screen then Ill pull battery go back into cwm then it goes to the orange v3.0.0.5 then it says E:unknown everything then also E: Unable to E: Unknown or and E:cant mount
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Sounds like you don't have the right recovery (I think?). Did you try going back to stock (KK4), flash Corn kernel and then flash mosaic?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJj33p3rz:
Yes thats what Ive been trying the past few days I get the same thing.I know it sounds weird LOL.Early this morning I flashed a older 2.3.7 MIUI and its been running without any problems for 5 hours now so I am happy with that I found another that will run on this crazed phone.Not happy with the rom but happy its running now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Did you try to flash M9 over MIUI? It's not a suggestion (just curious), it simply doesn't work. To get out of MIUI, you need to flash back to stock to get the right partition (so partition has to be checked if doing it manually). Though I'd throw that out there.

Either way, glad you atleast have a *working* phone. Let us know if you find a solution!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJj33p3rz:
No first time flashing MIUI its still running great,I've tried numerous times getting mosiac 9 back on still a no go.I flash back to stock every time when I try mosiac.

Ok in that case I guess I'll have to learn to live with it. I'm just a little jealous of my bro's Nexus S running stock GB 2.3.3, the screen comes on right away. :rolleyes:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You are very welcome. Yeah the Nexus series will always be faster then their branded cousins. That why I think my next device will be straight google.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
I never understood why though. Yes its true that Google pushes Android directly on the Nexus, but the hardware is essentially the same. And all of these custom GB ROMs have all the Samsung/carrier crap stripped out, so to me they should be able to run just as fast as Google's version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
We cant remove all the samsung crap as it is needed for things to work like we are used to. If you look at the Nexus version of 2.3.3 a real in deepth look and you will see alot of things are different. That is why some are working on an AOSP build which is what the Nexus line gets
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
Well I'll admit that I'm far from having a good understanding on how the OS works, and what you're saying makes sense. Still, customs ROMs like Mosaic (and Firefly before it) are what saved my Cappy from being returned to the Rogers store.

Can't wait for Mosaic III :D

Moving from Mosaic II to Mosaic III

How difficult will be to move from Mosaic II (JVB) to Mosaic III (JVH)? Will doing such require Odin? I'm asking because I don't have consistent use of a PC (and thus Odin) and I'm thinking of flashing Mosaic II today if I don't need Odin to flash to Mosaic III later in the week.

flashing back to stock

I read icezar's guide on how to flash back to stock from GB but I had a couple questions so I don't end up with a 500 dollar paperweight. Can I flash FireFly 3.0 right over Mosaic (after doing a factory reset, wipe davlik and cache of course) or should I flash to stock with JF6 without boot loaders and then flash to FireFly? Are there any negative effects of having GB loaders on a Froyo Kernal/ROM?

edit: asked the same question twice in the same sentence -.-
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes, I told you that at the time because we were still testing flashing over MII. That was a "just to be safe" suggestion. they seemed to have ironed out any issues that flashing from MII was causing.

As long as you're on xcal's kernel (if the voodoo version disable voodoo lagfix) you should be ok. Talon will not be overwritten by the firefly flash so make sure its xcal's.

There are no negative effects of winning gingerbread bootloaders on a froyo rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chodges21:
so xcal's kernal will be overwritten by a full firefly flash?

If for some weird reason it doesn't it will bootloop. Don't panic. Just flash a froyo kernel with odin. But it should overwrite xcal's.

First let me say, I absolutely love MOSIAC!!!! I have tired pretty much every ROM out there since I got my cappy on it's release date. Got stuck on FF cuz, c'mon, it's was seriously the best out there, plus XK did an awesome job making everything easy to find, install, and stay up-to-date. That said, MOSIAC is going to be the NEW gold standard of Rom's. Team Phoenix has pretty much all the best dev's for our phones all together in one place and ROM, so I am super stoked to see what comes of this, so far so good. :D

Now my issue... I've had MII on here since last monday, and really didn't have any problems with it, not even the ones mentioned in the bug logs, but over the weekend I started noticing the processing speed decreasing, getting slower and the scrolling becoming more jumpy. Also, and this usually only happens with the camera, but it's starting to happen with other apps now too, I get this black screen upon exiting that just sits there for 30 to 60 seconds before loading my homescreen, I can still see the dock icons but everything else is black. I haven't changed any settings or configs, everything is still MII stock, the only thing I've done is install my LP plus. Bluetooth works flawlessly, No Maps battery drain issues, no proximity issues, just starting to seem like the processing is degrading.

Any one else having this issue or any ideas of what it might be?:confused:

Guys, I can't seem to be able to get off ext4. I'm on xcal 1.2 (jvb) and using the Voodoo app, I've un-checked the "Ext4 Conversion" option but that doesn't work.

Looking at the Voodoo log, it says something like "Unable to call fat.format".

I tried adding fat.format to system/bin but that did nothing.

What's weird is that I never used the Voodoo app to convert to ext4 in the first place. I was on Talon 1.6 (rfs) and just flashed over it with Xcal, and the Voodoo log said I'm on Ext4.

I would appreciate some help. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Unless I'm mistaken, if you're currently on xcal's kernel, you can't use the CF ext4 app to change your ext4 status (I'm assuming you're using that). It would have to have been done prior to the transition. As I don't know where the Voodoo log is that you're looking at, I can't offer any ideas there. Sorry.

I'm a little confused, though - if you were on Talon 1.6 with rfs, where did ext4 come in? Not knowing myself that the CF app doesn't work with xcal's kernel, I fired it up and got a no-go message (with the word BAZINGA in big letters behind it) when I tried to use it on xcal.

Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to confirm this, but I would assume flashing back to talon 1.6, redoing an ext4 on/off (to confirm the rfs state) and then coming back to xcal would fix it. Again, I don't know if that would work, but it's an idea. (Not a good one, but an idea...)

I went from Talon (rfs) to Xcal, which apparently automatically switched me to ext4 (?). Then on xcal I was using the Voodoo app to try to go back to rfs but it never worked for some reason.
