Voice to text and in the UI in general i.e. the ability to add widgets and customize the launcher. After showing my EVO to a new iPhone 4 owner last night, all she had to say was: "why would anyone want an iPhone when they could have one of those?" I said, "you know, that is a really good question." Priceless!

Google voice, show them real visual voicemail; widgets, show them important stuff without even opening an app; flash, show them the full web experience; live wallpaper, It's a battery hog for most things, but still really cool; replacements for all normal features, handcent, t9 dialer, different keyboard (like swipe).

There's loads of things you can showcase.

Use the Maps live wallpaper that comes with Cyanogen while listening to music and doing other things.

If I'm showing off to an iphoner, move icons around and change the battery.

[Nexus One General] pwig:
Pretty sure maps live wallpaper is stock since eclair. And what makes you think you can't move icons around on an iPhone?
[Nexus One General] eyegor:
They couldn't on iOs 3... can they on the new one?
[Nexus One General] cbaltzer:
Yes they could. It's always a grid from top left (except the dock), but you can rearrange them or move them to a different screen. It's been that way since iOS 1
[Nexus One General] chowdarygm:

Did you really take it that literally? I have an iphone. I meant move them into something other than a dumb grid. Put a space between them, put them all at the bottom, make a circle, an X, make a blank screen, whatever.

for me it's more the surrounding sounds.

There is no way to get it working correctly if anything nearby is making any sound, because it will totally confuse the speech detection software.

If it's completely quiet, then it's not THAT bad but still miles away from good usability.

[Captivate General] nbs11:
At the moment this is still a work in progress. Your contributions are not only welcome, but needed.

I have created this Wiki because of the rapid rate that progression has been happening. I found the better solution vs. each person maintaining their specific guides was to have the person who found the error just fix it. So I created this Wiki that anyone can post their guides (or other peoples with permission). I am still in the process of copying over each individual section of the Pimp my Captivate guide (it's sticky-ed) if anyone would like to help that would be great. Remember though, ALWAYS SEARCH THE WIKI BEFORE POSTING SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSTED. Everything you post MUST relate to the Captivate.

Well here is the link:

http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/

If you want to contribute here is a list of possible posts. Just make sure they have not been made:

-Transferring music

-Transferring photos

-Transferring videos

-Clockworkmod /rom manager

-GPS fix

-Performance tweaks

-Battery saving tweaks

-Replacing Touchwiz with launcherpro etc.

-Anything else you can think of
[Captivate General] accinfo:
This can help with the 'tips' section.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
would you mind posting something like that on the wiki such as "How to use TouchWiz tricks"?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
alright, i touched up some of the stup you put up there. Sleep now.

If anyone is an insomniac and wants to help out, the battery optimization, gps optimization, and clockworkmod guide from the pdf still needs to be added in.

I highly encourage other guide authors to move/copy some of their info there or offer edits where more detail is necessary.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
hows the packaged update.zip coming along. Would you mind teaching me how to make one of those?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
as soon as getting it down n tested, id be happy to share the knowledge on the new wiki :)
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
Great job! Thanks for this
[Captivate General] systoxity:
its a good thing. lol.

plz post guide requests or confusing instructions here so we can take care of it

I am new to the forums , i have a question about using titanium backup, if you delete the att apps theres not way of getting them back at all ?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
nah you're str8. you can use a stock firmware posted on this website to revert to a perfect out of the box phone. You can also reinstall them if you ask us for the ones you're missing.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
If you use the freeze option (only available on paid version) it removes the app from the app list and prevents it from running while not actually deleting it.
[Captivate General] jbradt:
Thanks

Looks great so far. This should really come in handy. I wish I was more well versed with Android and this phone so I could make some useful contributions. However, I clearly am not. I do appreciate the effort everyone else is putting forth tho!
[Captivate General] nbs11:
it still has a very long way to go though
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
alright i am going to give that deleteing of att apps an go hopefully it will help with some lag issues i have been having. thx for this thread has been very educational :-)
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
You've got a section there for Sideloading, do you want to tack in the instructions for enabling non-market apps from the phone itself?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
yeah, its in the main pdf guide, still havent had time to port it all over
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
When I read an early release of the PDF guide, it didn't include some of the hum-dingers like chowning the file, I don't know if thats been changed.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
what is chowning?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
chown'ing, sry. : chown : change ownership

Changing the ownership of the file, in addition to the permissions.

One methodology being used was to chmod 777 (world writeable!?), which is not a birght idea for security purposes.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
oh i didnt read where you wrote sideloading directly from the phone. I will write one. School ends on the 6th, then i'm free to update this puppy.

by all means though, if you can lend a helping hand plz do. You dont have to make it look purty, we'll take care of editing etc.

[Captivate General] nbs11:
thanks. I also have not had much time to update this. Tonight I am going to try to add a few articles and hopefully one of you guys can smooth it out.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
tomorrow im going to try to review all the guides on the wiki again and add some stuff from the pdf, thank god its the weekend. Bad news is, so much **** is going down since source got released, by the time monday hits we'll be bogged down writing new guides :P
[Captivate General] nbs11:
At least its a wiki and not a PDF file otherwise it would require a new version to be uploaded every single day.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
as a quick suggestion to add when you have time i suppose would be how to undo everything in case you messed up . Like how to use the odin program ?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
good idea :)
[Captivate General] systoxity:
lol, whoever is writing bingo at the end of the guides in the wiki needs a better catch phrase :P
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
I tacked in the chmod and chown to the commands that were taken from the other set of instructions for no-pc sideloading.

We're up to about 4-6 (depending on particular commands) methods now.
[Captivate General] Matrioux:
Boom goes the dynamite?
[Captivate General] systoxity:

Hello guys. I was wondering if it was ok if i added some notes on the wiki on how to underclock to preserve battery or overclock for speed using a free widget and also using an alternative of a task killer(a low memory manager caller autoKiller)?

ofc, we love help. dont add it to this wiki. currently in process of moving data from here to official captivate wiki from xda. link to it is in the development thread
[Captivate General] robnil:
i noticed in the battery-optimation guide that it stated that changing brightness in the screen is a hassle. If you set the auto-brightness to off, you can adjust it by just sliding your finger from left to right (or the oposite) on the top status bar. Very simple and works everywhere.
[Captivate General] :
I've been trying to help another forum member thats had some issues with his phone and the problem I'm running into....is that he uses a Mac and I just don't have any answers for him (cus I use windows of course), is there a way someone could add some tips for Mac users, or list the differences between adb commands and programs they can use (like Odin...I don't even know if the One Click Downloader works for Macs)? I'm sure it would help a lot of users. Does anyone have experience on both Windows and Mac?
[Captivate General] s1l3nt:
nice find i did not notice you can do that im having a problem with titanium backup it tells me to turn on unknown sources in applications but can't find it what am i doing wrong?
[Captivate General] sola fide:
Another helpful note in the wiki would be how to unroot your phone. I'm sure it's simple but I've seen plenty of people asking it on the webz.

I may be doing it this week as I might have a problem and need to return the phone to att. :(
[Captivate General] askpcguy:
I get the same nonsense message. In Applications, there is Manage Applications, Running Services, Development and USB Settings. Looking at each one, there is no menu button option for allowing unknown sources as Titanium Backup suggests. Even checked the Marketplace and there is no option for that.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
You need to "Enable Non-Market Apps" aka, the minor change to the settings file (since they hid the menu item in settings) to enable direct installation of non-market sources.

[Captivate General] askpcguy:
Worked for me but I had a little trouble with the sqlite3 commands. I didn't get the 1 row updated output after running the update secure command. Was able to verify by viewing settings.db in Notepad and search for non_

Now titanium backup opens without warnings.

Thanks!

Edit: Correct me if this is wrong but when you edit the settings.db file using the ADK and sqlite3, the update command gives no ouput because echo is off.
[Captivate General] shagdaddy:
I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to back up a kernel? I keep hearing ppl talk about reverting back to stock kernels but im not sure what they mean by that. I've got the Rom Manager app, so i know how to restore roms an stuff like that, but im lost when they start talkin about kernels
[Captivate General] SeaborneClink:
Pretty much. Another way to check it would be to run the command

select * from secure where name ='install_non_market_apps';

which should return something like

8|<something>|1

can't remember exactly what because I don't have my phone or computer in front of me, but the number to pay attention to is the last number on the right, which SHOULD be a 1 if the edit is successful, meaning you CAN install non-market apps. If it's a 0 then something went wrong with your 'update' query, but you should have already noticed that by now.
[Captivate General] askpcguy:
Yup I'll have to look at running your command later on but I was going by Titanium backup's message saying to allow apps from unknown sources. After I made the edit and rebooted titanium backup did not complain about the unknown sources.
[Captivate General] glio1337:
Obviously the idea of a Wiki is a good one. But this seems redundant when there is already an XDA Wiki - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Samsung_Captivate - Perhaps the items on the 'Wikia wiki should be merged over to the XDA Wiki?

Furthermore, a Wiki is only good if it's current. Having two is not going to help that situation at all. Just a thought. But I like where everyone's heads are at.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Agreed. That is why I stopped working on it. You are free to merge things over

Hey guys, I just installed Cynogenmod 4.2.15 on my Mytouch. I tried to update Google Maps however it wouldn't allow me, it kept generating a "package not correctly signed". I heard that by deleting the map app from it's install folder (From the system > apps folder) then trying to download and install it from the market would solve the problem. However, it did not and now I don't even have maps at all. I tried to download the .apk file and installing it then but I just got an error saying "maps could not be installed on this phone".

Anybody know how to get the latest Google Maps to install? Thanks in advanced
