[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
very true, and I'm not "upset" or anything that you've proven me wrong, I was just not aware of any other successful attempts and I'm actually glad to see there is something working somewhere. I, unfortunately, don't have enough knowledge of the android system or the java/c languages to be of much help in development, and I only have a basic understanding of what the other dev's are doing (I try to read a lot between the i9000/vibrant/captivate forums), but I still only have a basic grasp on what they're doing, but not specifically how it works or how they learn the tricks they do.

also, I'm far more interested in that AOSP ROM than the Sense one (I'm being very impatient with hansmrtn's release of AOSP)

edit: also, about the CPU, we're running a Cortex A8 Hummingbird while I believe the Snapdragon is also a Cortex A8. I feel like the most similar processor to ours is actually the Apple A4 (also a Cortex A8), but that doesn't help out here. The original Droid runs an OMAP that is also Cortex A8, but a slightly different instruction set than Snapdragon

double edit: just looked around a bit more and can't really find out what the Snapdragon is. System on Chip with only reference being ARMv7 (which is what ours is too)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGonzo:
If I learned anything from cooking for WinMo is that you really have to get dirty to learn how things work and how you can fix them. Reading is part of the learning process but actually doing it teaches you even more and its fun, educational, and it gives you a lot of satisfaction being able to fix things.

Do you not like TouchWiz that you want an AOSP ROM? I actually kinda like it. :p

EDIT: The Snapdragon is actually a completely different processor. Qualcomm made it from scratch and just licensed the patents for the ARM architecture while Samsung just improved the Cortex design, just like the one in Moto is just an improved design.

EDIT #2: Soruce: http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=17125

There is a better article out there but I can't seem to find it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
Actually TouchWiz is fine or whatever, I actually kept it around for quite a while and enjoyed it more than ADW or LauncherPro at first even though I knew both existed. Sometimes ADW just feels a tad bit snappier (and is more customizable).

It's also terribly awkward looking at the about 4 different TouchWiz 3.0 interfaces that are vividly different just between the Epic, Captivate, Vibrant, and International versions. (why does the Epic seem to have stock messaging app and a less-configurable menu and a different lockscreen? hell even a leaked photo of the Fascinate shows it's different AGAIN with the puzzle lock screen being used just to simply unlock the phone)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGonzo:
I wish I could get Sense home screen + TouchWiz application list. That would be great. Best of both worlds.

I love the TouchWiz app list.

I'm talking to a few people about the Sense port. I might start a new thread about it. Maybe start a pledge thread?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
yeah I remember reading about this when I first heard a samsung galaxy s could be coming to AT&T to try and grasp the difference.

if you start something new, I'll be sure to follow up with you on it and do what I can to help. I have a lot of free time this week (jobless and schoolless for at least a week) so I'm going to try and read up on android development. I already have the basic SDK downloaded and I'm no stranger to adb (yay logcats), but if you have any pointers of a good place to start (besides the obvious "how to android sdk" google search :P) that would be greatly appreciated

I haven't done anything yet since I have to setup a Virtual Machine with Linux (don't feel like messing with Cygwin). Downloading my favorite distro now...

Hopefully I'll have something to start on by this weekend. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
this is how you can tell I'm lazy.. my favorite distro would have to be ubuntu because I'm too lazy to compile my own kernel for my netbook

definitely gonna check out those forums though, thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGonzo:
Ubuntu is fanboys haha.

Im lazy too. I'm not compiling my own kernel, I'm just gonna download my favorite distro's live cd.

I like RedHat based (Fedora, CentOS, etc) since I use them often for webhosting purposes. I'm just familiar with them (well my favorite is Auditor or now called BackTrack. It is for vulnerability testing hehe). But no need for compiling kernels though.

Alright back to ROM development. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
Fortunately, I'd like to think I don't throw myself into the Ubuntu crowd as a fanboy. Quite simply, I'm lazy about something that doesn't need hyper-configuration and, because it's so popular, I'll almost always be able to find a solution to whatever problems I may encounter. Also, places like launchpad with it's deb hosting is nice. I've done a lot of Fedora (and had a lot of headaches) too, but, for convenience's sake, my default is Ubuntu... at least I'm not absurdly lazy and using Mint :P

good luck with your ROM work

Is there any way to use my google voice number to call people when using wifi only? No cell signal?
[EVO 4G General] ntron1:
Yes you can but you need to be near your home or work phone the pick up the call. Does not seem very efficient.
[EVO 4G General] Eric-1987:
Why would you need to do that? Cant you use sip to connect to free calls in general but not use it with GV?
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
no, GV isnt a sip provider.

LOL! Sorry, I didn't even click on the "Download" link, I just saw the heading over at Cyanogen. There is not a stable build yet... because, if there were, that's where it would be posted.

There's only a handful of "stable" versions out now, from what I've read.

Everyone here in the Eris thread is going to need to calm down until a stable build it released for the Hero CDMA. It shouldn't be long...

[Captivate Accessories] epoplive:
So I'm sure everyone has seen the DIY android car dock. There was a thread in here with someone wanting to make something similar (and me silently stalking it), but no one had found a suitable case to make the mount from. Well, I went on ebay and was able to find one, so here's some pics of the finished unit. Sorry there are no before pictures, I forgot to take them in my excitement.

The case cost me about $5. The other parts used were a garmin gps suction mount, the clip to hold a garmin gps, and some double sided tape. I simply used a dremel tool to cut off the ends of the gps clip to provide a flat surface, and attached it to the case with the tape. Looks somewhat ugly due to the clear case color(couldn't find a black one) but it works well, rotates, and looks good with the phone actually in it.

Well apparently I can't post external links(the images), but there's no way to upload the images here.

Looks nice. How does the Captivate fit in the case, does it just snap in? I can't see how is it mounted it on the car... vent clip?
[Captivate Accessories] epoplive:
Thanks for posting the links. Yeah, it just snaps into the case. The gps mount I'm using is the suction cup mount as it fits nicely onto my stereo face. It's just a regular garmin gps ball mount clip that I cut the ends off. It's 2 pieces, the mount, and the clip part, so you can use it with the vent mount.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
Nice job. Other than the tape, it looks good. This seems to be the mod of choice for DIY car docks. I don't see why manufacturers can't seem to make this a retail product. Just a snap-on/slide-in back plate with a ball cup on the back. Anyway, thats a nice way to take your captivate for a ride!

I would like to do the same thing but my concern is the fit of the case to the phone. I want it to be snug but remove easily without scratching/damaging from repeated use.

Do you feel confident that case will hold up?

If you do, mind throwing out a brand name or model number?
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
My concern as well. I'd change up the mounting a bit for my car since there's a plate the previous owner mounted an XM radio head and I can't take it out without leaving an eyesore. If this can go there, my car will be /perfect/.

I'd actually prefer some sort of clear sleeve (think the "case" that comes with the N1) so that after I get my permanent case I don't have to snap it in and out of both, but if that's what it will take, I'll do it.
[Captivate Accessories] epoplive:
@Shovelhead84: Yeah, the tape isn't the best looking. I really wish the snap-on case was black, so you couldn't see it at all. It's kind of an eyesore in my mercedes without the phone in it, lol.

The case itself fits the phone pretty well, and it fits in pretty easy. It's not quite as easy to remove the phone, but still easy enough. I'm really not sure why no one is making docks like this either, all of the one's I've seen have been gigantic and ugly. I'm not worried about it damaging the phone, as the case only covers the back.

I'm not sure what the brand is since I got it off ebay, but here's a link to the exact one I bought.

http: //cgi.ebay.com/SAMSUNG-i897-CAPTIVATE-AT-T-SNAP-OEM-CASE-COVER-/350388879623?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5194ce0107
[Captivate Accessories] epoplive:
Yeah, it would be nice if the phone just slid into the case. Unfortunately all of the cases I've seen snap together around the phone, so this was the first one I found that appeared to even be useable for a car mount. Hoping I'll find something a little better later. This definitely works well enough for now though, and the price was hard to beat (I had the garmin parts sitting around from my gps I don't use).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] garenzy:
Apologize for the noob question, but why would you want to force roaming?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drmacinyasha:
If you live in an area with poor Sprint signal (say, -100dB) but there's a strong roaming signal (-70dB Verizon), the phone will cling to the Sprint signal and wear down the battery (anything below -100dB, and it starts to really hurt).

If your signal is really bad (like at my work), you'll wind up constantly switching back and forth between roaming, and Sprint, causing you to be disconnected from the network, miss calls, get delayed texts and voicemail alerts, poor audio quality on calls, etc. The worst part, is that if there's ANY Sprint signal over -120dB (aka, if it's detectable at all), your phone will automatically jump from the roaming network, and onto Sprint's, and then back again when it loses Sprint's signal. In other words, even though you've got a strong roaming signal that you're attached to, your phone keeps on scanning for Sprint, and keeps on jumping to it whenever it can, draining your battery like mad.

At my work, there's a Verizon tower a 1/2-block down the road, and I get around -80dB when roaming, but otherwise get -105dB or worse when on Sprint, just because the frequencies used by Sprint are poorer at penetrating walls. So, I looked at my battery stats since I was only getting about four hours of battery life, and saw that my Time Without Signal was anywhere between 20-50%! I switched to Affiliated Networks in my settings (aka, roaming-only)

The trade-off is, you can only get 1X data when roaming like this, not 3G data. To get 3G roaming, you'd have to load a Verizon PRL, which you can't do on an AOSP ROM, since you need the EPST app.

So I rooted over the weekend and tried several roms but noticed a problem that drives me nuts. After the downgrade my weather works with the clock\weather widget but after rooting the weather cant find my location. It doesnt seem to matter what rom I load the weather widget does not work. I tired beatiful widgets and it only works if I manually enter my location none will automatically detect my location. I did multiple wipes of data and delvic with no help. I even ran the sprint 2.2 ruu and it didn't work. The only way to get it back was run the ruu and then downgrade back to 2.1 and it works then 2.2 ota upgrade and it works but not when I root. I searched and tried all the ideas to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? By the way the 2 roms I was wanting to use were CM6 and Fresh just want it to automatically find my location for weather.

[Droid Incredible General] SimonTuffGuy:
The camera lens cover is held on with double sided tape. You can pry it off with ease and clean the inside of the lens cover or the camera itself.

You could also access it without removing the lens cover, but that involves removing the battery tray panel thing. That requires removing the 4 torx screws at the corners, removing the void sticker on that screw, and then popping the panel off.

I've had mine off a few times to mess around with swapping the power and volume buttons from the red developer case that I nabbed off EBay. Didn't actually swap the buttons, but took a look at what was involved in the process.

Good luck!
