Any improved Battery Circle for Cog GB 5.b2?

Hey Now!

5.b2 seems to be working fine here so far very happy Thanks DG

and thanks to those that got me to the work around to Recovery mode

I found AngryGPS and tweeked the port and server, GPS seems as good

as was possibly better but time will tell if its fetching the Sat Update data files.

My only whine so far may at first seem cosmetic

But I feel the battery indicator is almost unusable without a magnifying glass.

Seriously I can't even begin to test or be aware battery level isssues with the one thats in Cog 5.b2 (possibly carried over from the unmodded UCK1 GB Rom?)

I love DG's Cogs but with my eyes I always prefer a larger battery indicator.

With Cog 4XXX I was very happy with the Circles/Percentage Battery Indicator

Triton posted in the 4.X Cog thread. That normally the only eyecandy I ever felt the need to add. I prefered to keep to the clean Cog philosophy.

Unfortunately they (Battery_Mod_Circle1.zip) No longer work on the new Rom

I tried to install them with CWM4.XX under Cog 5.b2 and while I did not see an

error message after rebooting, the battery icons had not changed.

(Did see someone talk of difficulties loading zips under CWM 4.0?)

Well anyway, has anyone found a replacement for the Battery Indicator?

I know several people have asked, not sure if anyone found anything

Thanks for all the fish

i would assume you would have to be on AT&T...they asked to see my drivers license and my cell number, and then went into their computer system (to presumably see if i was still within warranty)
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Too soon to tell honestly, i ran it for a bit in the car but had my wife and two kids in the car with me and was getting nagged to put the phone away ;)

The best part for me was that a had a fairly noticeable scratch on my old screen and now I don't have to look at it anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
My theme (in the sig) is not a big overhaul of the stock theme, but more of a modification. It has a more visible battery :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I got a new one 2-3 months ago. Old ones speaker blew out. GPS has been flawless. On this ROM, I have been getting 5m locks and really good tracking.
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
There is a batt mod somewhere in this thread. Check the stickies, prob in there. It's simple, nice, with big number. Easy to see. How did you get to angry gps? What settings did you use?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Open Dialer, type in *#*#3214789650#*#* and it'll open AngryGPS. Just go into settings, find SUPL, and it'll be something like spirint or whatever. Change the SUPL address to supl.google.com and the port from 7275 to 7276
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
Thanks haloruler54. I kept seeing angry gps in my apps list but couldn't get to it. Appreciated

Audience chip difference

First, I want to say thanks to DG and team for creating this ROM for all of us to try.

I flashed this using all 3 steps (initial 2.3.3, CogB2kernel, and ROM). I was using Continuum 6RC1 previously with the KC1 modem. I wanted to see how much of a difference the audience chip support made. I tried calling over bluetooth as well as just regular calls. My wife said that "maybe" there was a little less "echo" but not much of a difference when calling over bluetooth. I also recorded messages before and after using just the phone. I didn't notice much of an improvement. I assume there is nothing special required to use the audience chip support and it is automatically enabled. Am I missing something? That is the one thing that made me try this ROM since I have been happy with GPS, etc before.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Any news on when beta 3 comes out?
[Captivate Android Development] wbcollins:
Beta 2 feels more like at least an RC1 or 2 to me. None of the planned features strike me as essential. I suppose ext4 might make a difference, but it hasn't felt laggy to me over the last two or three days. Voodoo sound can be picked up from Voodoo Control Plus in the market. The other planned features are certainly nice to have, but nothing I would personally notice much.

Thanks DG!

Boot animations

Does Cog 5 support custom boot animations. I've never tried to change it before , I'm using an app called Absolute System Root Tool. Seen videos on how to do it but seems a little to much ,any help would be appreciated.(like a one click) HAHAH :D

[Captivate Android Development] n7slc:
After a long and fairly stable relationship with Andromeda3 I decided to go back to a DG ROM and give Cog5b2 a try. Let's be honest, DG does excellent work.

Well, the first flash didn't take and the second flash seemed OK until today.

I've noticed several problems that have cropped up...

First, no matter which sound I use for notifications, CLOUD is all it ever plays. The phone ring tones work just fine.

Second, the camera is horrible. On A3, the pictures are nearly instant. The camera on Cog5b2 takes nearly 3-seconds to take a pic...

And lastly, the phone FC's about every other time.

Just another bad flash? Should I take this thing back to JF6 and then reinstall Cog5b2?

I like GB and I really like the fact that there's one specifically for the Captivate because I could actually hear the person on the other end of the phone at the race track today but...I can't live with these issues.

Any recommendations from the experts is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Check your settings in the apps. If you're using stock messaging app, it has its own notification settings.

Camera works fine for me, really flash

No FC's here outside of a game called Dismount.

Either way, flash JF6, then stock KB1, then the kernel, then Cog5B2. I did that, no issues here :)
[Captivate Android Development] kosami:
I tried getting into angry gps just now and I get an error when I use that code. Other codes also seem to be troublesome... I'm in Canada; is that why?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Location shouldn't matter. AngryGPS should always work. Try reflashing?
[Captivate Android Development] kosami:
I guess I will wait till beta 3 or whatever comes next and see. I didn't think locale would matter, but you never know.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Just wanted to say, the Silver Speaker Mod is indeed compatible with Cognition 5 AND my theme!
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Impressive! ;)

Download SGStools from the market. There is a button in there that takes you straight to it. That's what I use... it's under the "secret codes" menu
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
will wait from 4.5.3 to gingerbread :)

will wait for more stable release. As of now it needs full wipe and i don't want to wipe the complete data and loose the folder/screen settings :D...

i hope the team will soon release the updated ROM where no wipe is needed from the 4.5.3 :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Impossible. You need new bootloaders and you're going to be running a new version of Android... so if that was your reason not to switch, you should switch :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
Hey Haloruler64

Thanks very much for the offer

but I just prefer the simplicity of a single reversable mod

rather than to revamp the "stock" theme at this time.

But truley appreciate the offer of assistance

Thanks Again

You said you wanted a circle battery mod? I could also make you one :) nothing but battery! And a revert if you don't like it.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
How did you get the scratch? I thought we had gorilla glass?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It's damn good, but it isn't invincible. I got tiny scratches on mine too :/
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Pretty damn good!

BTW that charging time was actually tiny and damn near negligible, looks really long on the graph for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Do you know from what? Curios what is strong enough to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
For me, general use. Placing it in my pocket, laying it upside down onto a table, use with slightly long fingernails. They're invisible until you hold the screen up to the light, and even then they're tiny.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Has anybody found modem alternatives that work better?, that's the only problem I encountered with this Rom, I couldn't get data working well where I work. I had to go back to i9000 Rom w/TUBJV6 modem. I always have a week signal there but some modems won't pull data, it's kind of a weak signall area for att plus it's an all metal building with electrical conduit everywhere and fluorescent lights. The battery life on this Rom is phenomenal! D.G. did a good job.

minor bug or hiccup?

Ive been happily running and exploring GB b2

Something just happended to my homescreen "desktop" thats a bit weird

but hopefully it correctable

I am starting to accumulate way too many ap icons and have moved on to

my 4th homescreen page of aps. While moving icons around I discovered

what may well have been obvious to many,

That if you press and hold on an empty portion of the screen

A Menu titles "Add to Home screen" appears

I noticed "Folders" and assumed this could be a way to save some home screen real estate

by packing a few utilities of similar type in folders

I did just that, and although I havent found out yet how to rename these "new folders"

to something more discriptive, A problem has arrisen I'm assuming is related

to creating or using these new folders?.

I no longer have use of the main menu key on the Leftmost Key

Where as before this key would give me several choices including

Notifications, Settings and I think Wallpaper

The Left most menu Key now acts like the Rightmost Key

It brings up Google Search?

Its really quite annoying! but only sometimes can be corrected

by hitting the back key (2nd most right key) several times

This is rather weird behavior but not debilatating

At this point just posting to see if anyone else has seen this behavoir?

I restored my original home screens with SGS tools, so I eliminated the folders

but the problem with the Menu Key still occurs

I think there was a way to re-program the soft keys but I've forgotten how

(but I don't think thats the issue because of the sometimes fix of the Back-key )

Anyway always learning something new here

its a great phone, I can see there is much I haven't even began to play with

Lovin the CappyCog

KJL
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
(Ref: Kenn Lynch) If I long press my left most (menu)

key it will act as search, but a short press is the usual menu key. Are you long pressing your menu key?

To name folders, you just open the folder then long press the title area (should say Folder 1) that will bring up the keypad so you can rename it to your liking. Have fun. ; )

Sent from my Customized Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
Wow Thanks Mate!

short vs long click was the answer to the menu key allright

suprised I never noticed that before.

And thanks for the tip on naming folders they're nicely organized now

its really the simple stuff that makes this phone fun to use

I don't know if this was already answered for you but I had the exact same problem yesterday when I tried flashing this from Continuum 6RC1 with a custom splash screen. I had previously flashed Cezar's CKF1 bootloaders so I thought I would skip step1 and go to step 2 - the Cog B2 kernel which went OK and then tried the ROM. It kept sticking at the AT&T splash screen even though I briefly saw my custom splash screen first. I reflashed Cezar's bootloaders which includes the param.lfs and wipes any custom splash screen but it still didn't work. I then used step 1 which flashed stock 2.3.3 gingerbread. I think that is the difference since Continuum 6RC1 is 2.3.4 and I "assume" DG's ROM package does not include some of that because the instructions want you to do step1 if you are not on GB 2.3.3

The flash went fine after that. I hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] liquid blue:
I successfuly updated cog5beta2 and haven't had any issues. But how would I go about going back to stock 2.1? Might take this back to ATT. Use Odin one click or Odin v1.82? Trying to avoid a brick because of the bootloader swap.

TIA.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Just use odin 1click to stock 2.1.

[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Coming from S7, can I just use Odin3 to flash the kernel then the Rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Follow the OP. It's preferable to run Captivate bootloaders, so flash KF1 stock first. Then kernel, then Cog5B2.
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
How long does it hang at the ATT boot screen after flashing the kernel? I am over about 3 minutes now.

Followed the OP. Installed KF1, installed Beta2 Kernel, now just hangs at ATT boot screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
You don't have to boot into Android. Once you flash the kernel, go into recovery and flash Beta 2 :)
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Feel like such a newb. I forgot to copy the rom to my SD card. So I don't have it. What is my best option from this point?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Boot into recovery, go into mounts and storage, and mount USB. Then you can toss the ROM onto your SD :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Reboot it into recovery and push the zip with adb or if you have an external (removable SD card) put it in there or, 1 click back to kf1 and put it on through USB storage

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
You should be able to go into CWM and "mount as USB drive" or something like that. Then place the ROM on the SD and flash.

Key combo should be vol up and down, plus the power button. When you see anything on the screen, let all buttons go and it will boot into recovery.

EDIT: I must be really slow today :)
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Thanks everyone for all the help! I never knew that you could mount USB from CWM. Just finished installing the ROM via CWM. I noticed during boot up I am getting the GT-I9000 and the ATT boot screen now. Is that normal?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
No, it isn't. Did you flash KF1 one click as the OP stated? You should have absolutely no trace of i9k stuff left.
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
I think so. I used Odin3 to flash zimage-root.tar then flashed kernelKR1.tar. I then used Odin3 to flash cog5-beta2-kernel.tar. Then mounted the USB via CWM copied over the zip file cognition5-beta2.zip and flashed via CWM. Is that correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Nonono, you didn't flash KF1 One Click. You flashed the root portion of it! in the step one, click the link and click the huge download link to get I897UCKF1 Odin One Click exe. That's what you have to flash first, to get new bootloaders. THEN flash the kernel with Odin3, then the ROM/
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Oh, I was wondering. It saiid if you had flashed any other roms then to do what I did but I never found any other instructions to do the one click. Suprisingly it is running right now. About phone says that I am on firmware 2.3.3, I897UCKF1, Kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL27832, and Build Cognition 5 Beta 2.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It will run, but you're on i9000 bootloaders. It's just better to run native bootloaders, that's all.
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
I am about to leave, but will start over with One-click later when I get back. But for now it is running I guess on the GT-I9000 bootloaders?

BTW... So far the ROM looks super sweet and smooth. Can't wait for more unlock screens. I love the rotary unlock screen.

Thanks everyone especially DG for his hard work and greatly appreciate efforts on the Cappy even when he already had the SGSII.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
The other quote in this post is the perfect solution! It'll just flash bootloaders so you won't have to start again! Just flash and it won't touch your ROM!

Any chance we're going to see a modem with HSUPA?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:

Most likely not. AT&T blocks HSUPA on all devices except the iPhone 4 and soon 4G devices. Captivate will most likely never get native HSUPA without i9000 ports.

[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Just to clarify, I think you need the I897UCKF1 1-click for more than CKF1 bootloaders - such as GB 2.3.3. I had GB 2.3.4 (Continuum 6RC1) and flashed Cezar's CKF1 bootloader package (only the bootloaders) and I got stuck at the AT&T boot screen after flashing the Cog Beta2 kernel and the ROM. After flashing the full package, I had no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It's not Swype, it's this ROM. It just seems to work like that...just tap once and press the Swype key. Or remove Swype and get Swype 3 beta which you can just tap a word once.

Lock screen to use PIN seems to not function. I can set up for a pattern lock but when I switch to PIN I don't need a PIN to unlock the phone. Any ideas?

As long as SU is available, Voodoo Control Plus will install its own self contained modules to enable voodoo sound. No kernel support is required.
