I would likebto report gps locks fast its within 30 feet of me. (matching my best gps) tracks me at speed as well as any other rom /gps fix or setting out of the box.

Call clairty is very good for me and the other end.

Battery life so far seems a touch better or = to i9000 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 roms.

Screen color seems better. Sound is better on most other roms but we dont have voodo sound yet.

This very fast and stable i am able to multi task fairly well.

Pics and vid recording is much improved from i9000 2.3.3 2.3.4 roms.

Wifi and bluetooth work very well.

No random reboots.

Only down side i can find is 3g download speeds.

Trust me i tried every GB rom i can get to boot on our cappys, had very good luck with all the i9000 roms but this seems to plain work everywere.

So only down side to this rom is no voodo and 3g speeds. (by no means is this the fastest but it dosent seem to far from it)

Hope you all are better imformed before flashing with my review.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Kind of 2 different roms to compare to no?

Ive gotten 4 hours display time with wifi on the entire day, background data off, no pushing, 50 texts and had the phone last 30+ hours.

The majority of the people commenting on battery have had very positive reviews.

Three or four people said it was the best battery on any rom they have run.

Its compareable to apex or serendipity i would say. Havent been on a froyo rom in a long time so I cant compare to Fasty.

Push email killing the battery

I have to add to those that have said the push email is killing the battery big time. Didn't experience it on pre 2.3 roms, though I do like the new mail interface better, the battery is draining big time.

I've had 1hr display time and 5hr with the phone turned on since bump charging it and now it is dead as can be.
[Captivate Android Development] XaberTheBlade:
i handled it. had to go back to bone stock and work my way up. its running now and doing a beautiful job :)
[Captivate Android Development] Faux_ghost:
I have been running cog 5 v1 for 2 days now and everything seems to be working pretty good, great battery life. I do have an issue with the phone not allowing incoming calls, no incoming calls in two days, and when the call comes in it drops the cell service. my gf is running cog 4.3 and hers works fine in the same area with cell service and I have never had this issue with previous cog.

any ideas???
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
My phone has been acting weird as well. On mine when im talking it just hangs up or if I make a call it just hangs up. This doesn't happen all the time but does happen often.

Here is two MODs in one CWM file that I take no credit for I just put them together... I got the green color of the original battery the same :p which was a pain!

1) Changes the flight mode to Sound/Vibrate buttons

2) Changes the battery to a green Honeycomb battery that changes color at 50% and down.

Im wondering if anyone has flashed talon kernel with a i9000 modem and what the results were. Im about to do so now because I want that voodoo sound.

edit: cancel that. bootloop city. LOL. trial and error.
[Captivate Android Development] xZeDgEx:
I am currently running the stock KF1 on my Rogers Captivate. The battery life is the best I have ever seen, its frigging unreal to be honest, the phone is fast and smooth, I love it. However.. every couple of days the battery will suddenly die very quickly with the "Android OS" being the highest for battery usage, so I have to restart and its good again. Seems there is some memory leak or something.. I am thinking of trying COG 5 and am wondering if this happens with this ROM too? Also how does it look, does it look the same as stock KF1 with the new Samsung widgets etc, I really like the new broken up daily breifing etc.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
do i just use odin to flash back to stock even though i have i9000 bootloaders? will odin do anything to the bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
FIRST What Odin are you asking about? Odin 1click will replace your bootloaders with the i897 eclair/froyo bootloaders. Odin 1click i897 gingerbread that DG has in the OP will replace your bootloaders with the i897 gingerbread bootloaders. DO NOT USE THE ODIN WITH THE 3 BUTTON FIX OR YOU WILL HAVE A PERMANENTLY BRICKED PHONE.

I figured it out and im on Cog 5 v1.00 now!! hey DG did u notice that the glass lockscreen says "sweep to unlock" is that a typo? i thought it was supposed to say swipe. Just sayin
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
by voodoo control app from the market (paid) and you get voodoo sound without changing kernel.....
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
I like the idea, but don't want to have an extra icon at the top of the notification bar...thanks for the tip tho!
[Captivate Android Development] mikegehl:
You can turn the icon off in the notification bar and just use the homescreen shortcut. Or add separate shortcuts for each profile.
[Captivate Android Development] sids911:
OK,

First time I flashed a rom, and I can see that my captivate is indeed flashed with cognition. But all my previous apps are still there and all my calls logs everything still there!!

Is thats what its supposed to do? I thought flashing ROM would wipe everything off!

Edit: I tried Factory reset in recovery, I also cleared Dalvik cache and the Wipe cache option. I just cant get rid of old stuff on my phone. Is there a way I could really "factory reset" it?
[Captivate Android Development] Scyzor:
Digging and digging, and still can't flash it because of ro.bootloader:[unknown] error :\ Going back to Cog 4.5.3 and will wait till somebody will take Cog5 from DG and do fixes.

[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
People have flashed their phones hundreds of times so people like me have a hard time understanding exactly what to do. I usually use the AIO program so this time was different. Flashed Cog5 1.00 last night. Steps were, in the end, simple but unfortunately, detailed explanation were not... well "detailed" to me anyway.

1. Download mode

2. Odin 1-click GB version (no need to root after this)

3. Download mode again

4. Odin3 using the tar file in the "pda" area

5. Reboot into CWM

6. Flash the final 1.00 rom.

Real simple but before knowing this, I was really hesitant in flashing. No big deal now! :D

Anyway, everything appears to be up and running well. I've only seen 2 issues:

1. gmail for some reason kept FCing. Had to remove/reinstall and everything is working well again

2. this next issue may be inherent with 2.3.3 but I'm not sure. It seems some apps' widgets do not appear in the widget list anymore. The ones I've noticed so far: gtasks, evernote, springpad. Is this normal? If not, how do I get them to work?

Thanks everyone and thanks DG!
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
The modem selection we are currently limited to, seems to be part of the issue with battery life. In particular, low signal areas, seem to cause my cell standby to CHEW through the battery. I shut data mode off now in those locations... it can't get a signal anyway. I mention it in your push email topic, because it may be related to a constant network connection? I dunno, I notice it on the CELL STANDBY selection in battery stats.

I felt that the KB1 modem was slightly less on the battery drain, but it was negligible. Hopefully a few new modems get leaked out that maintain lower signal better, and are a little more battery friendly.

Also, if you are a google latitude user... log out of it and stop using it in GB. Every GB build seems to eat the battery if you let Latitude watch you.
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
This means the apps are installed on the SD. Go to manage applications, select the apps you're missing widgets for, and select "move to phone"

the two issues I've had are 1- phone randomly wont wake up from sleep, have to remove battery. It's happened twice about 5 minutes after removing it from being charged. 2- Randomly lose 3g. The 3g icon goes away, I have voice only, but even with that, i can't make any calls. I try setting data mode to deactivated, and reactivate, nothing. Tried setting airplane mode and back but once I select airplane mode it never reconnects, and it just sits with zero bars. Only solution has been resetting the phone through the power menu. Kinda annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Yea, this rom has been a really great rom so far. Great battery life. I have been having some issues with it like freeze ups and rebooting during high memory use games like Guns Bros. I am going to see if Advanced Task Killer set to safe level kill will help.

loved this rom till this week! on beta 2, and also now on v 1.00 the phone has restarted in the middle of a call!! i use this for work and no longer feel like i can trust it. bummer.

Anyone else having problem with WIFI ? I cant connect to wifi .. I flash this rom 3 times already... Can someone help ? thank you
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
I don't have an answer for you but I noticed that restoring my WIFI access points info from TiBu no longer works. It's always worked in the past but on Cog5, I had to manually enter my network password again.
[Captivate Android Development] olson.lukas:
Yes. Drop your bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
anyone else have reboot issues? happened twice and both times while i was on a phone call.
[Captivate Android Development] tsan81:
I've experienced this too. Overall its smooth, stable. But it does seem to slow down or lag, even the same day that I will have rebooted. Not complaining though.

And finally, my GPS has been solid!
[Captivate Android Development] olson.lukas:
Yes, I have experienced this too, while on phone calls! (At least twice, on beta 2.) I just installed v. 1.00 so we'll see if I have this problem now.

What did you do to get your GPS to work?
[Captivate Android Development] pixbuf:
Gallery doesn't show pictures on external SD card

I'm liking this ROM a lot. Very smooth. However, for some reason, it's not displaying pictures on my external SD card. I cleared the data for the app, and when I started it again, it showed the name of the pictures directory on the external SD but then it disappeared.

Any ideas?

Quick question:

Is swype pre-installed?

If yes, is turkish available under language selection section?

Could someone please answer me? Does Cognition rom have the battery bug? Thanks.

No. 100% fact.

Swype and battery bug.

Swype 2 comes with the black theme available for this rom. Any other swypes will need to be obtained through the swype beta website.

just flashed everything. it all went smoothly. only thing is. i dont seem to have a market app. it has a market app on the home screen. but its just a little android icon with a micro sd image. and when i click it, it says "application is not installed on your phone". so what did i do wrong? also it seems a few apps are missing. like extended controls.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
would flashing the Roger's Captivate modem for CWM3 enable HSPA+?
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
This exact problem actually happened to me too. Wiping data,clearing cache, and even re-flashing the Rom wont help. I had to reflash stock GB with Odin 1 Click, reinstall the kernal, and once again install cognition 5. But now everythjng is running perfectly. I feel as though this happens when you have the default storage setting as your external SD. So I just keep mine at phone/internal memory
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
Uninstall Gmail. Then reinstall it again from the App Market. Worked for me :)
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Yes swype is pre-installed. The only languages available are english, spanish, italian, german, korean, and french.

Going back to Cog 4.4X for now. Cog 5. seems to be bit laggy and not as smooth also having some issues here and there. I flashed the rom 3 times now but not working for me. Battery is ok but having issues. Gonna wait for next Cog 5 update for now.

Great ROM and great battery life! However, I have experienced that my phone will stop sending/receiving calls or any data as a matter of fact twice in the past two days. I realize this when I try to make an out going call and it never connects. Then upon checking my connection, nothing seems to be working. The signal bars are still good, and the only way to get my network connectivity back is to restart the phone. Anyone experience this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
Happens to me frequently, but only when I'm at work. Seems to be more network related than phone related though. That said my blackberry does do a little better at keeping its network connection,but even that will become unable to do anything on the network. The captivate uckf1 modem does seem more fragile.
[Captivate Android Development] AtariBorn:
I haven't experienced it in this ROM but I've seen it in previous versions. Usually flipping airplane mode on then off is the fastest way to remind the phone that it's a phone. See if that works

did u flash the beta2 kernel from the op?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
If you are up and running V1.00 then no need to flash any kernle just make sure you have installed all your apps on INTERNAL STORAGE and not on sd card & please don't use quadrant AT ALL because it is not made for Galaxy S phones! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mroscar:
Well and update on this: I did Odin1click back to JF6 and didn't have this issue. plugged in my headphones, played some music, turned off the screen and the music kept playing. So the good news is it's not my phone. Bad news is that I still have the problem when I go to GB.

Would someone be kind enough to try this on their phone and see if they have the same problem?
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
How frequently has everyone been getting the AOS bug? Seems like I have to reboot every 2-3 days now. Was about once a week before, but for some reason, it's starting to be more frequent. I wonder what I'm doing that's triggering it more...
[Captivate Android Development] hotbullet:
yes i have done everything step by step.

before flashing v1 i have flashed the beta2 kernel.

i still feel it is slower comparable to the 4.5.3

if i want to get back there how can i go?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
just do a factory reset and install from CWM once again because it is faster than Cog 4 and also make sure that you are installing apps on internal memory

I actually found a fix for the Music player FC's. I only experienced them if i try to restore my playlists thru TiBu. Just dont restore playlists
[Captivate Android Development] rob ben:
I'm sure that is a planned feature. Mine always does that. You really want your screen killing your battery all the time you listen to music?

I will say that closing the music apps are not well planned out. I hold the home button down and kill the app. They really need a little red x or something to close it rather then just pause the song permanently.

Having a tough time with Cog 5

I have tried all versions of Cognition and I absolutely love the Cog 4.5.3. I wanted to get GB on my Cappy and tried to install Cog 5-1.00 but am having a rough time with it. The main and biggest problem I have is that I don't get incoming calls. The network drops right after the first ring and the call gets disconnected. Anyone else facing the same or similar issues? I'm disheartened and rolling back to Cog 4.5.3 now. I also saw ghost apps which I managed to get rid of by following these steps:

- Flash back to Android 2.1 JF6

- Master clear from Odin-1-click

- Flash Android 2.3.3 KF1 from Odin-1-click

- Fugu root with Odin3v1.81

- Flash KF1 with Odin3v1.81

- Flash Cog5-beta-2 Odin3v1.81

- Flash Cognition5-100 with CWM

I hope this procedure is right. I had similar BenchmarkPi times with Cog4.5.3 and Cog5.100 but I saw a world of difference in the quadrant scores (Cog4 - 1400+ and Cog5 - 950+):confused:.

@DG - :( Not feeling your love for the Cappy any longer. Jealous of the SGS2 owners.

Somebody please help me get GB on my Cappy! Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] mroscar:
Sorry there is a little confusion. The problem is not that the screen turns off while listening to music. Of course that's fine :) the problem is that the music stops playing 2-3 seconds after the screen turns off IF headphones/speakers are plugged in. so for example, I can't plug in speakers to my phone at work and listen to music because the music will stop playing when the screen turns off (power button or screen timeout).
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
I followed this procedure from an earlier post, and I attached the word document that they added. It worked like a charm for me.

You can't judge Cog5 by Quadrant right now. Because the source isn't available the Voodoo Lagfix can't be implemented. If you turn off the lagfix and run quadrant on Cog 4.x.x, the score will be about the same.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Am I the only one getting this problem?

"access to this URL has been blocked"

Can someone please help me figure out how to fix my APN settings?
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
for me, upgrading from 4.5.3, I did not have to fugu root...
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Okay, first of all NEVER use quadrant to judge a ROM, NEVER EVER AGAIN!

Now the intructions are mentioned in the first post and you are not following them correctly dude you have missed the most important steps and following some unnecessary..:eek:

no need to go to stock..just make sure you have the ATT GB bootloaders, then flash the beta 2 kernel via ODIN and after that install cog 5 Beta 2 via CWR first and then v1.00

Hope this helps :)
