When I was running Cog5 Beta 2 I had that happen all the time. I fashed Cog5 1 and then for testing vpn tried cog4 but back on cog5 1 and I haven't had it happen. It probably will though. I still have the not saving the default app storage location. I like this ROM but its not really ready for everyday long term use. but its hard to go back to Cog4.
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
Yeah I hear you there. I've been sorely tempted to go back to Cog4 for stability but there's a lot of little things to like with the gingerbread based version.

With any luck, DG will still have his captivate when Samsung / AT&T release the official 2.3.x firmware and a little beer money can motivate DG to do a 5.2 build for us.

Don't know about you, but as much as I might want to get an AT&T Nexus S or some other shinny shinny, I'm going to be living with my Captivate for a while yet. Could definitely be worse devices to get stuck with though, I do like the hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Yeah I have to wait till Dec but might wait for Quad-Core next year. I the hardware is awesome and the fit in your hand. Stupid software lol. I just need 2.3.4 and I am set well with the tweaks of Cog4.
[Captivate Android Development] shinji257:
I do hope that DG does come back eventually to work with the official sources later on when it happens but for now I went back to 4.5.3. The main thing that I wanted was netflix and Netflix themselves took care of that for me.

Right now gingerbread in general appears too unstable on the captivate. The phone slows to a crawl after 3-5 days (depending on use) which may point at a memory leak somewhere. I can't have that issue so I went back. I've been tinkering with busybox builds (my own) based on 1.19.0.git but I'm trying to fix networking support (won't resolve -- bad address error). If anyone knows how to resolve the error (patch or known good toolchain) it would be useful.
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
Ditto on the temptation about rolling back to Cog 4.5.3. I do like some of the small things about Gingerbread, yet the last of the 4's was very stable with seemingly better battery life.

As you said, hopefully DG will still be interested in doing a 5.2 in the future....
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Yes, please do try GoTrusted - it works great for me. Tempted to even sign up and pay for it... I would be curious to know if it works for you or if there some other issue.

As for bestfreevpn - I got it to connect, but wouldn't serve anything to me. Slow maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
You mean I can stop hitting "cancel" when netflix asks me to update?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Yeah the market one works. Just make sure and remove the one you have since the market one won't install on top.
[Captivate Android Development] shinji257:
Yep. As someone else mentioned the market one works fine. It's listed on the market for both Froyo and Gingerbread on Captivate phones.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Did you have to install anything or just the built-in PPTP VPN?
[Captivate Android Development] oh5srt4:
Anyone have issues with push notifications on this rom? A bunch of the aps I have that advertise push notifications don't seem to be working or give the option to enable them.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem but try moving your apps to internal storage if they are not already on it.
[Captivate Android Development] oh5srt4:
They are, thanks for the tip though.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Nothing special, just followed the instructions on the site:

http://www.gotrusted.com/android-configure.php

It's the built in VPN, but the instructions have you set it up with L2TP, even though the service is also offered for PPTP (shown in their iCrud instructions).

GoTrusted is also the only VPN service I could find that offers a proper trial - 1 week full service.
[Captivate Android Development] pamaguin:
Anybody else having problems with the sound level of ringtones, notification, system and media? Sometimes it works as advertised and it just drastically drops levels; faint ringtones and such...
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
Any reason there is no pandora wiget on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] kosami:
I have issues with this as well. It also won't save any change in make to the notification sounds or ringtone. I think it has something to do with the gmail application because it started after I set a different notification sound for emails. Either way I just have whatever noise it makes now.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
There is a bug in this ROM that auto installs all apps to the SD card. Widgets don't work if the app is on the SD card. So go into Settings > Applications > Manage and move Pandora to the internal memory. Then the widget will appear.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Oh its only L2TP so no encryption. I found if I find what I want to watch on Netflix on 3g start it then switch to wifi I can watch Netflix at work.
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
Weird..I don't have this problem at all. I'm using the Voodoo control app, not sure if that'd make a difference...
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I searched a bit and haven't read anything since I have been following this thread but has anyone had the dialer crash? Whenever I receive a call it just closes and end the call therefore forcing it to VM. I guess I will redo my phone again. I had just redone it. Now I wish I hadn't messed with testing VPN on Cog4. I already tried reflashing Cog5 and it still does it. I am using ASOP lockscreen and UOT battery mod but I had those before and they worked fine.

Hmmmm. What ROM to use?
[Captivate Android Development] justDave:
Is it faint and clear or cutting in and out and full of static? There's a hardware issue on a lot of Captivates (mine's in the shop right now) where the external speaker connection becomes intermittent. Does it happen when you play audio files?

If you have the hardware issue, pressing on the speaker will fix it temporarily.

I mention it because it took me weeks of rebooting and messing with Voodoo settings to realize it wasn't a software issue.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Like, I said, they also offer PPTP - I don't know why the Android instructions are only for L2TP, but if you follow the iPad instructions, they also work on Android.

I also tried out ibvpn.com (only a 2 hour trial) last night and it worked fine for watching Netflix from Mexico. Android: check. Ubuntu: check. Windows: check.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Minor problems for me: The Sound Manager app doesn't seem to do it's thing anymore. I have it set to lower my ringtone volume at night, then turn it off even later. In the morning it turns on the ringtone, but fails to turn it up to max. volume and the pre-programmed time. It used to work... I guess I'll try out the v2 of the app and see what that does differently...
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
In case anyone else runs into this, here is what I did.

I wiped data and caches and flashed 5 again.

Weird some data is still there.

So since Cog 5 beta 2 does full wipe I installed that booted and then rebooted and flashed cog 5 1, so far so good. Dialer is working too.

Weird thing is I lost my APN settings, I have never had to configure that.

Edit:

It didn't like manually adding APN but saw there is a reset to default and that worked.

Restarts

I just had my phone restart while I was talking to my mother. Call lasted 2:06 minutes; when this happened I decided to further investigate. Called myself from my house phone and let it sit for 2 minutes, the call was still active. Then for the next to minutes I put the phones next to each other so I can create an infinite loop of sound through feedback and low an behold after 2 minutes of transmitting sound the phone restarts again. Anyone else have a similar problem?
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
I have had issues where m4a ringtones simply stop working until a reboot
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
So, almost a month and no update...glad I didn't buy ROM manager for the OTA updates
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I've been running cog5 for several weeks straight and carried on a lot of phone conversations lasting over 30 mins and never had this happen. Last wednesday I drove 200+ miles and was on a single phone call almost the entire way, via bluetooth. I personally would start by redownloading then reflashing the rom if I had this problem and could consistently reproduce it. Unless someone on the thread knows how to just reflash the modem. If that did not help then I would install Serendipity or Continuum and see if I could reproduce the problem there. Good Luck.

screen timeout settings don't stick

For some reason my screen timeout settings don't stick. My screen times out after about 5 seconds, which is really annoying when browsing reddit or other webpages that take more than a few seconds to load a page. If I press the power button quickly enough, the screen will pop back on and I won't have to unlock the phone.

I've had this problem before on Cognition, but it just recently started on Cog5. I don't think it's hardware, because this is my third handset, and they have all done it. It's weird because the timeout works after a fresh flash. It's only after I've been running the ROM for awhile that it starts shutting the screen off too soon.

I've tried fixing permissions in CWR, but that doesn't help. No matter what I do, I cannot set my screen timeout.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Who is supposed to update it? DG is moving on and looking for someone to keep advancing his ROMs.

You up for the job :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
See attached.

:) The Magical Rom Fairy will! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
I think our best bet is atomic fusion until samsung officially releases something. Without kernel source and the newer phones being released, us cappy guys are in a tough spot for a little. Ive been partial to the color and theming of atomic fusion, the sepia theme does look nice though, might check it out for the weekend. if we could only make successful backups...:/
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Do you use Widget Locker?
[Captivate Android Development] anneoneamouse:
Improved battery life- I installed the kb1 modem, and so far it looks like battery use by touchdown

(push) has gone down dramatically. Everything else, calls, data, gps all good too. Will update in a couple of days when statistics should be more reliable.

is there any way to load the droid x2 keyboard?
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
Nope. just whatever is stock.
[Captivate Android Development] mrdodge:
I've been searching the forums looking for a cifs.ko that would work with this rom/kernal... can ne1 please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Haven't been following; Had no idea. I suppose it doesn't matter. I'm just waiting on the SGSII, just found it odd that they were made CWM OTA updatable, yet there's no updates!
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Asked before, I'll ask once again... has anyone gotten OpenVPN to work on this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
OpenVPN requires CIFS.ko to be compiled in kernel, which requires kernel source.

No cifs.ko until samsung drops the source code for this.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
OK. Thanks for the answer... but isn't it tun.ko that is required?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Sadly this is going to happen more and more as dev's abandon their roms. Phones are coming out at faster speeds and yet typically we are all bound to a 2yr agreement. Sucks for us since DG roms were always good.

I have a premier account so my upgrade is next month, hopefully the Samsung Attain (SGS2) will be out then.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
The worst part of this is that source for GB will be coming out in several months from where we can really get the best out of these roms.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Very true, but hey by then my captivate will be a freakin sweet GB pandora/mp3 machine! :D

Battery use with KB1 modem

Update- I switched to the KB1 modem, froze a bunch of apps using Tibu, and battery life seems much better than before.

Phones been running for a couple of days, Sunday and Monday. I turned off to go to bed, didn't recharge over night.

15h 52m on battery, 46% battery remaining.

Display 17% (48 mins use)

Voice Calls 15% (20 mins)

Cell Standby 13% (15h 51m use)

WiFi 11% (11h 52 min use)

Touchdown 11% (CPU 5m 9s, CPU foreground 3s, Stay Awake 40m 16s)

6 more below 10%.

Frozen Apps/Services, with some comments. I don't understand what all of these things do, just that with the exception of the market, not having them hasn't impacted me as far as I can tell. I had to enable google services framework, Market Feedback (maybe), and Market updater to be able to update through the Market.

Allshare

Android Keyboard (I use Swype)

Android Live Wallpapers (I don't use them)

BadgeProvider

Google (Backup, Calendar sync, Contacts sync, Partner setup, Search) - (I don't use google for email other than setting up the market)

Samsung keypad (I use Swype)

SNSaccount (think this is facebook, I don't use it)

Talk (I don't use it)

TWlauncher (I use launcherpro)

TwWallpaperchooser (I use launcherpro)

VoiceDialer (I don't use it)

VoiceSearch (I don't use it)

VPN Services (I don't use it- pptp with encryption has never worked for me, at work)

Hope this helps,

AoN

PS: I found a CW3 flashable modem in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055643&highlight=gingerbread+modem
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I decided to grab an SGSII, give my dad my HP Veer (both of us love the little thing), and he will get a Captivate on his upgrade for us to share. I will turn it into an MP3 player, because of the Wolfson Micro amp and Voodoo Sound. So the Captivate will still be here for me, even with better phones around :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I think we need an update in here!!
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
Sure do, I need my fix
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
We need an official release and source code damnit! Where in the hell did i misplace my magic wand? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] kosami:
I'm not really sure how anyone can be getting such low battery life on this rom. I have 25% of my battery left and the phone has been on for 2 days, 5 hours (53 hours).

Turn off stuff when you don't need it and you will be surprised how much life these phones have. :3

Well, since voodoo lagfix won't work on this GB release, and Mr. David (Atomic Fusion) has helped me realize how much I liked developing on the captivate, here is a nice treat for you...

The kernel is fully capable of mounting and formatting to ext4 without any crazy scripting like voodoo did. This is the same outcome as voodoo, just no way to revert without flashing stock...

/dev/block/stl9 [B]/system ext4[/B] rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 [B]/data ext4[/B] rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0
/dev/block/stl10 [B]/dbdata ext4[/B] rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

Hard bricked once, don't wanna do it again

I was on atomic fusion and did step one of the process, I don't think that was needed, anyway it seemed stuck so I pulled the battery and unplugged. Tried a different odin and hard bricked. I should have my new cappy tomorrow and want to put this on but the step 2 process link says its not found. Is there any better more clear instructions I can follow to not have another hard brick? Please and thank you. I'll probably be rooted stock froyo as first thing when I get it so I can have internet to get the tools I need.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I guess DG changed the hosts and forgot to update the links in OP( that's what he mentioned in Cog 4 thread), attached is the cog5-beta2 kernel you need and follow the exact instructions to get cog 5, they are pretty simple & straight!
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Hey DG, so you are pushing an update soon or we have to DIY using above code???
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Full blown update, check out the op, just added the changelog for the next version :)

Also, that kernel link is working for me in the op :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
its good to see that you are still actively developing on captivate & kernel link is still not working for me, I even tried different browsers!!!

Edit: DG your sig is still having perception in it! you might want to change it to Cog 5 ;)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Cognition 5 v2 is LIVE!

Changelog is in the OP! Check out the ads on the download page or just email me beeer or caffeine!

Atomic Fusion has been given permission to use the ext4 stuff and kernel!! Please don't report him, again!
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
downloading as I write this !!! will let you know how it goes.......

EDIT: stuck at ATT boot screen after flashing :(
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Me Too !! stuck at ATT boot screen after flashing

any Ideas ??
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I reverted to V1 for now.....
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
I used Odin3 v1.81 to flash cog5-beta2-kernel.tar (under pda) and phone came up with no data loss and saying Cognition 5 v 2
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
give it time..... its voodoo without the voice.

maybe a little while.
[Captivate Android Development] godpancho:
did you install the rom? im also stuck on at&t boot screen for the past 3mins
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
its been implemented into Atomic Fusion test version.

so not this rom per say but a build similar.

besides DG contacted me and shared the setup and was bragging how SMOOOOTH! it is. so i'm sure its working. But i got to go to work soon and will flash myself later.

however i know voodoo can take upto 30 minutes when on froyo.

so.....

Downloading now...

You guys rock! Downloading now...
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
OK, Guys, I know I suck and you dont want to hear this garbage, but I cant for the life of me boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

I re-flashed UCKF1 including PIT table, since I was running into some weird out of space errors. Then I flashed zImage root, then kernelKF1, and finally cog5-beta2-kernel. When I try to flash clockwork mod recovery, it gives me 4 choices; Galaxy S, Galaxy S (MTD), Google Nexus S, or Nexus S 4G. If I try and do the three button boot to recovery, I get signature verification errors when i try to apply cognition. And I get failed to verify whole-file signature errors when trying to apply update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
Once you flash cog5-beta2-kernel you should not have to worry about flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery separately. It should already be included in cog5-beta2-kernel
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I am on ATT boot screen for a while also. Did you get past it?
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
Awesome!! great work.

I'm not cog 4.3.1. Do I need to flash back to JF6 using ODIN one click? to use Cog 5 v2?

Thx in adv.
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
I don't know how in the world I managed to screw this up so many times last night, but I just couldn't get it to happen. I know I flashed cog5-beta2-kernel, but still couldnt get in.

I just flashed again this morning, and voila. Worked like a charm. I must be taking maximum strength crazy pills. Thank you for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I did a full wipe/factory reset in CWM and flashed the rom. After reboot it just sits at the ATT screen for the past 10 minutes or so.
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
Man, this is awesome. Can't wait to flash v2 this afternoon. Thanks, DG!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I will check into this evening guys... Try going stock first and see if that helps...

There is no waiting mid boot like voodoo, the ext4 conversion happens while flashing.

you also need to be on GB
[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
I'm sitting at the screen as well (15 min so far). I saw in a previous post that I should give it up to 30 min, which is crazy but we'll see...
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
I saw the ext4 conversion happening. I flashed in recovery coming from Beta 3. I am going to try and use KF1 Odin 1 click and go from there.
[Captivate Android Development] sstarre:
Quick question..

If we're already on GB bootloaders and running ext4, I assume just tar the kernel , wipe and flash the rom.

Will Cog just mount the ext4 volumes and continue ?
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
It seems quite a few people are having trouble getting this to flash correctly. Could you maybe go step by step of what you did? What version were you on? Did you flash to stock first? I'm interested in trying this new version but I would definitely like a fool-proof method to go by first. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] araxian:
i figured out the stick on att boot screen problem, least for me, i messed up and installed cwm from rom manger after installing the cog5-beta2-kernel, when i flashed the rom it went fine but same as a few of you got stuck on att boot screen left it there for 30mins no change. so before i went thru the whole process again, i reflashed the cog5-beta2-kernel via odin it rebooted and i decided to let it go, It worked!!

booted it and now its fine with cog 5 v2 working! hope this helps. :)
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Welcome Back!!:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
Beta 2 kernel goes into PDA on odin, right? How long did you let it sit? I had v2 rom installed, then reflashed the kernel and I am back on KF1
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
I'm well over the half hour mark waiting on the ATT screen. 38 minutes and counting. Is it time to pull the battery and try again?
[Captivate Android Development] araxian:
yeah its just brings ya back to KF1 got exited as cog apps installer was there, but after checking version just makes it back to bootable KF1 rooted. wehn i repallied the rom got same deal as before sticks on att boot screen, reflash kernel to cog5-beta2-kernel and its back to same bootable but KF1
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
ahhhh, crappy, the new kernel has EXT4 formatting tools the older kernel does not!!

I will update the initial kernel shortly, you can also, flash, reboot reboot recovery from the advanced menu and then flash it again. That will get you going.

/me did not think that thru :)
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
Are you sure you are on cog 5 v2? Mine keeps going back to kf1 when I do this.
[Captivate Android Development] skullvet:
Don't see reboot recovery from the advanced menu on KF1 with beta 2 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Pull the battery, put it in download mode. Use your computer to flash ( Odin3 ver181) cognition 5 beta 2 (in PDA slot). It will reboot and you will be running Cog5b2.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Cognition 5v1.00 and KE3 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
You really should call the kernal then beta3 instead beta2 since there is an update. Just to stop confusion.

Thanks for all your hard work again!!
