Make sure you reboot your computer whenever you experience odd issues like that. Odin can, and does, lock up your USB system on occasion. Standard Microsoft fix (reboot) will fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] :
That was the first thing I tried. No dice. Oh well, workin now, yay! :)
[Captivate Android Development] jimmyevans82:
Has anyone figured out the random reboots that happen mid-call on cog5v2? It doesn't happen every call but it is rather annoying. I truly believe this to be a gb bug as I had this issue on atomic fusion and cm7 also(to a much worse degree with those roms as opposed to this one). I will say at least it does not reboot while browsing the net as those other roms did. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I am think that is a phone problem and not a rom so much(just a guess). I have not had that happen to me once and I got a lot of junk on my phone. Games and wide variety of a sorted apps. Check your build number and maybe we can find a common thread to why this happens, just like the GPS problems on this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] jimmyevans82:
Where exactly would I find the build number you're referring to? Under settings/about phone the build number says Cognition 5v2.

NVM I found it. It is build 1012.

I thought I'd provide a good moment from much earlier in this thread

[Captivate Android Development] Jergling:
I think I've found the source of my battery drain. In Settings>Phone Info>Battery I can see that after the first app startup of the day, something was keeping my phone in "awake" mode 100% of the time.

Further investigation reveals Gallery3D to be on the top of the list for battery use, accounting for 50% of consumption. I assume this isn't very accurate, but force-closing it allows the phone leave "awake" mode and conserve battery properly, but the app just pops back open uninvited every hour or so. I thought the sleepless sensor bug was fixed, am I wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] morehush:
Try turning of picasa web sync and see if that resolves it.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
You can always uninstall Gallery3D with TiBu and install QuickPic off of Market.
[Captivate Android Development] oriongaby:
I second this, since I installed QuickPick I haven't looked back at any other gallery app.
[Captivate Android Development] Jergling:
That should do it. I just didn't know what alternate galleries were available. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
So, aside from battery life I've got two issues with this ROM, picasa wont sync, and the GPS is atrocious. Can anyone recommend some GPS fixes? On 5.1 I tried a gps.conf from a thread that links to a darkys rom forum, and it worked magic...but with 5.2 it doesn't seem to help.

The other problem is that I can't upload to picasa from the gallery. I know I can install a 3rd party app to do just that, but I like the native functionality of simply uploading to picasa. What happens is I select share to picasa, but then the uploading window shows a blank where I'd normally see a folder selection. When I hit the drop down to select a folder, I get a tiny blank bar. If I try to proceed with the upload anyway it just says 'failed to retrieve account information'.

I just flashed this rom(5.2) yesterday, picasa uploads from gallery as expected.

Select photo, click Share, Picasa, Select account and folder, done.

Maybe you have a 'bad' flash or acct setting, try reflashing.

For me, this ROM is smoking fast, still need to test GPS, but hey, has this GPS ever worked 'well'??
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
A bad flash that only affects Picasa? I've been using 5.2 since the second day it was up, and aside from GPS, have had no other functionality issues. For me though, GPS was perfect on the original stock rom, it wasn't until I started flashing and going with custom roms that I had issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Jergling:
Really? For me, GPS has never been better. Maybe there's no "right" answer to the GPS issue. Every captivate might require a different set of options to function right.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Well for the amount of builds that Samsung has made on this phone. No one should be surprised.

Just got the wife's brick fix Phone back with stock Eclair....

Wondering If I can just flash Cognition-5-Beta-1.exe Using Download mode then flash the new kernel and latest ROM...

EDIT:

YES... Flashed the original ODIN version of Cognition, then the latest Kernel and the the V2 ROM....All is well....

Thankfully I still had the Original version of Cog as that saved a lot of steps getting GB bootloaders and root on the stock device.
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
Tested GPS on the way home, locked in less than a minute and was spot on...according to google maps, no drift or sway, kept my location perfect. No complaints there. I'm just happy I've had a good experience with the custom ROMS.

BTW, No GPS tweaks or setting mods...just stock from the ROM flash.

Is rumors of JH4 actually JH3. Has anybody actually got JH4.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
thank you very very much for all your help. will give it a go in the morning.:D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] Jergling:
3 gallery versions later, I'm still getting unnecessary awake time. This morning, I unplugged my phone and let it sit on my desk for about 5 hours unused. I came back to find it at 75% battery, with Gallery3D responsible for 76% of that drain. This is ridiculous. Quickpic doesn't sync with Picasa, so that didn't work for me.

Maybe this isn't the typical sensor overuse issue. What diagnostic tool can I use to find why Gallery3D is staying awake?

EDIT: JustPictures! did the trick, plus it supports deviantArt!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I think you are correct, the JH3 version was labeled as JH4.

[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
I'm getting horrible lag from the Puzzle Screen to the messaging app. I'm using Launcher Pro. Any ideas why or how to fix it? The ROM is decent otherwise, I switch from an i9000 ROM that I liked a lot better, but that one had a terrible modem that basically never worked, so far reception on Cog has been a lot better, and it's been fast and stable other than the Puzzle lag.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Make sure LP is not installed to your EXT SD. That is where the new GB builds will put it, and many of your other apps, if you let it. They all run like crap there.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Is the external the user accessible one? I don't have a card in that slot. It also says "installed on device". Is that correct? I'm usually really good with storage and such, but I am hopeless to understand what partitions and storage methods are what on Android....

Hello does Cogniton 5 v2 support bootanimation? If so then would I just get a bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media using explorer. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] jimmyevans82:
If i wanted to try out the kh3 modem on my cog5v2 cappy all i have to do is put the zip on my phone and then install zip from sdcard in cwm correct? also will the kh3 modem update hurt my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] bubuphonik:
thank u :P
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
Double tap
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
Yes that is correct or u can flash from Odin in rhw modem slot. Also it shouldn't hurt yer phone as long it's a cappy modem and not an i9000 modem which in this case it should work since it is an i897 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
I'm a little confused. I have not been able to follow this thread recently. I'm still on Cog 4.5.3. My understanding is that Cog 5 v2 is based on a 2.3.3 leaked Captivate ROM. Recently I read that a leaked 2.3.4 build of the Captivate ROM was now available. On recent posts in this thread I read that JH3 and maybe JH4 might be available and that the next Cognition build will be based on those. Aren't JH3 and JH4 just modems? Shouldn't the next Cog build be based on 2.3.4?... Or is the only difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 the JH3/JH4 modems?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
The actual leaked roms are KH3/KH4. J is the prefix used by the i896 (same phone, just the canadian rogers wireless version). And yes, kh3/kh4 does reffer to the modems. HOWEVER, the stock roms are identified by the modem build, so the stock rom built with the kh3 modem would be the kh3 stock rom, and same goes for kh4 rom/modem, and kf1 rom/modem, etc. I hope this clears up some confusion!

How can I get bln to work which kernel to flash

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
There is no source for KF1 kernels. There is NO BLN, Voodoo Video fix, No free Voodoo sound, No Voltage control.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
If you do not have an SD in there, then my suggestion is moot :). I also use LP, but mine is working fine. Not sure what else to suggest, except perhaps to try Launcher or ADW and see if the problem goes away. I would think it is likely a particular app or widget giving you trouble. The next time you flash, try doing things one at a time and see if you can find the culprit.

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
The KH3 modem works fine. JL1 would decide to disconnect on occasion, so I flashed KH3 a few days back. No issue so far, though I can't put my finger on anything different than KF1.
[Captivate Android Development] woody1:
I'm trying to decide whether to flash Cog or an i9000 rom. A couple of questions:

1. Is the Mobile AP app on this Cog rom the same as the one on an i9000 rom? Will I be able to tether without AT&T knowing?

2. I understand that HSUPA will not be available with an i897 rom. How much difference does having HSUPA make in real world use?

3. What other major differences are there between Cog and the i9000 roms?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
J isn't the prefix for i896. What about JF6 stock? J means 2010, K means 2011. The second letter is month. As in, JF6 was June of 2010. And KB1 was Feb 2011. The number is the build number of that month. They can have multiple builds per month.

Also, the builds are identified this way. The modems are part of the build. So the KH3 modem is part of the KH3 build.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
1. I believe it's the exact same thing, and AT&T shouldn't be able to catch you. People getting caught are iPhone users.

2. It drops your upload speeds from 1.5 to 0.5 or so. If you need amazing upload speeds, go i9000. But really, HSUPA is not completely necessary.

3. i9000 ROMs have kernel source. Thus overclock, Voodoo Sound, Voodoo Color, BLN, etc. We can have the first two through apps though.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Ah, ok I see. I just know that all of the i896 opensource builds posted on opensource.samsung.com start with a j. And I forgot about jf6. Thanks for clearing that up!

Cog Apps Installer not working =(

Hi guys, i Just installed this Rom a few minutes ago, It is awesome!

But there is a problem, i can't get Gmail, Youtube etc. I read they should be installed from Cog Apps, But when i open it and select the apps i want to install it takes me to the market and there is no option or button to install that app.

Which is the right way to install those apps?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
There are a few different GB bootloaders. i9000 or i897? To be safe, just do what OP says. As in, use a One Click 2.3.3
[Captivate Android Development] thejanitor86:
okay so it wasnt there this entire time. i thought i just missed something too. i was like how has this said that this entire time. so i +1 the what is this?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Under Settings, try going to Market under Manage Applications and clearing data, then just go to the Market and install the apps u want that way.
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
So, randomly, my GPS worked perfectly. Entire 45min drive, locked and didn't miss a beat. On the way home I decide to see if I can get just as lucky, and for the first 5 minutes, perfection. Then I plugged in the charging cable, and within 1min, the phone lost a lock, and it would lock on and off for as long as the charger was plugged in. Thoughts?

have you tried just clearing market data. then just go to the market and install those two apps, (not through cog apps)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yes, i Tried in that way, But They didn't appear on the market =(

[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
You can try to install them through AppBrain.com using the Fast Web Installer.

since they are free apps i am sure you could also find the .apk files somewhere and just manually install them.

I am happily running Cog 5 version 2. I had no issues following directions with the flashing process to get it on my phone. I do not like flashing my phone with a new rom frequently, so I am glad that DG takes the time to try to get things right. I did skip some of the 4.x.x iterations. but 4.5.3 was nice and stable.

A couple of times with admittedly low usage, I have gotten 30 hours plus on my battery, so at least I know that with normal usage I can go morning to night on my phone. (Cog 5v2)

DG, Thank you very much for the efforts you've put in to make our phones better. I do hope you continue to make the ROM's better, but I understand the concept of planned obsolescence.

The carriers have a 2 two year contract on phones that seem to have a design life of one year. Nice gig.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
The design life of one year is Androids fault, since they release a newer phone every 2 months. It's pretty ridiculous.

Sounds like I should just try it with stock launcher. Wouldn't be too hard to do... I only have one widget, and it's just power control. I don't have a lot of apps on my phone, although I suppose it could still be an app issue. It's not totally unusable, it's just sort of annoying... I loved the immediate response of the SGS II lockscreen on Serendipity, but I had to give up the i9000 ROMs because of reception issues. At least here the phone actually works!!!

ROM mgr - flash CWM recovery? rawr?

I have a similar question. I've never really messed around w/the Rom Manager app, but it just went through a Market update today, so I opened it after it updated. It said I had to flash CWM recovery in order to do anything. It's obviously already installed, I've always just used power menu to reboot into recovery.

Just to see what would happen, I hit the "flash CWM recovery" link, but under phone model confirmation, it lists 4 models, none of which are the i897. Like I said, I've never really messed with the actual app, & I prolly wouldn't even be asking these questions if the OP hadn't said something about ROM manager OTA support...
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
I have this same issue. I used to use Rom Manger when I was on my HTC Legend, and everything worked great... but I haven't messed with it on my Captivate because it doesn't seem to recognize the model of my phone.

The recovery screen doesn't seem to say what it's supposed to (like you said), and I don't think the ROM list is right (for example, I believe CM is supposed to be there, and it's not).
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
The main problem with Rom Manager recovery mode is that Rom manager cannot keep up will all the release and build types that are out there. That is why most developers use clockwork recovery mode from the kernal side and not wait for Rom Manager to come out with an update that does work for their rom.

GPS Issues

After installing this ROM, the GPS first worked instantly. Later I decided I wanted to disable using the network for location, and to use the satellites only. I pretty much had to do that, because the location started jumping around... I could see that it was being affected more by the cell tower location than my actual location.

This phone is one of the rare ones that has worked very well GPS wise from the start. I was thinking something was wrong with the ROM. It was aggravating, because when I switched off the network assist, the thing just couldn't get a satellite lock, even outside with nothing between it and the sky.

I won't belabor all the things I tried, but when I removed the back cover (didn't even switch the phone off) and used a contact cleaner to clean up the two gold contacts on the back of the phone, and the two associated white patches on the cover. As soon as I put the cover back on, WHAM! I had an instant GPS lock. :D

I guess that the phone uses the back cover as a ground plane for the gps antenna, so when the contacts get grungy, so does performance. I used a glass fiber contact cleaner, but I expect a pencil eraser would work just as well, perhaps better since it's gentler.

So many people have had so many complaints regarding GPS performance with this phone, and my experience has been so very good till recently. Now that I have seen how much difference that simple contact cleaning meant, I wonder how many others might be helped by it... or not. Perhaps my result was coincidental to removing the back causing something else to shift...

Comments welcome.

Now I proceeded and installed rom manager 4.3.3.0, selected 'flash clockworkmod recovery' selected phone 'galaxy s i9000' then 'install ROM from SD card' and then selected the cog5v2. it reboots and then stops with an error message --> 'E:failed to verify whole-file signature' 'e:signature verification failed'.

The Cog 5 version 2 initial kernel has CWM built in. Once u installed that kernel all u need to do is use button combo (volume +/- and power) to get into the CWM Recovery and from there u flash the Rom. Don't use Rom Manager...per the OP Step 3.
