Hmmm... I was going through the file list in the latest Captivate_Hybrid_r3.zip and jupiter.xml file is missing!

JB
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Doesnt that file handle GPS? Could that be why we have none? lol I know thats the file you gotta patch for GPS logging anyways, right?
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
^^^

Aye... i believe so. adding in the file from captivate system dump and trying it out. Also, there were minor diffs in the default.prop file as well. Don't know about that one. Trying to figure this stuff out.

JB
[Captivate Android Development] binxer:
What is that file for?
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Well I've got my fingers crossed, good find.
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
Did anyone notice that with r2, the messages app had way more settings to choose and now in r3 there are less?

for example in r2 your could hide the contacts name in the conversations and also set the background to black or to white. in r3 those options are gone :(
[Captivate Android Development] eugene373:
Does teh sim unlock work on the ATT phone as well? if so, then I might be interested in getting a cappy phone from att.

How much they run with out a contract?

That's what was causing MMS to fail.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup, it's the same unlock procedure on the Cappy as it is on the Vibrant :D I believe the Captivate is around $500 out of contract though

Edit: I've already tried pushing the jupiter file =P No dice for me, but I didn't mess with the build prop...
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
ahh... I C. Thanx Zilch for testing it out. LOL. BTW, did you reboot after pushing the jupiter file? As for the build.prop it looks okay but the default.prop file is bit different. Probably nothing...

JB
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup, certainly did. I actually messed with the jupiter.xml the first day when the gps was failing haha. I haven't tried messing with build.prop or default.prop, but I doubt they're related. Really seems like a lib problem like eugene was saying. Seems like there's some differences between the Captivate GPS and the Vibrant- I know we have a problem with GPS if we use the Vibrant kernel, yet we don't when we use an I9000 kernel... makes it seem like the Vib is the odd duck in this one, but that doesn't really help us when the guy writing this is coming from a Vib :)
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
Ya, I know what you mean. If I could devote more time on dev for captivate I'll try my best to fix it but unfortunately work and kids takes up most of my time =[ I do enough coding at work anyhows... Gah.

JB
[Captivate Android Development] binxer:
With my premier account, I can get them for 350 :) Only if eugene is still interested
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hopefully I have a bit more time tomorrow for crazy experiments =P We have all the tools we need in theory in the system dump... it's just a matter of putting the pieces together and making it work O_o
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's a hell of a deal... I'd have bought mine outright if I could have snagged the cappy for that price- oh well, at this rate this phone will last me another 2 years right? Right?! *sobs in the corner*
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
^^^ Aye! =]
[Captivate Android Development] binxer:
That's exactly why I bought it. Hopefully we can get eugene one because I'd love to have his ROM (or something similar) once I get mine.

Now how much to sell my iPhone 4 for...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
How did you get the autorotate fixed? I'd love to see that applied to the I9000 setup. There are some things I really like in that setup. I think when I wake up I will finally try this one...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Unfortunately the same trick to getting autorotate fixed doesn't work on the I9000, I tried it =( Not even renaming the correct sensor file to the I9000 sensor file got it to work, but there's some stuff in the kernel about orientation, so I'd imagine that's the place to look
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
bummer....
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I had noticed that and added the file from the JH3 build. But still the GPS refuses to work. While I was running this ROM, I also noticed that some of the mini notification boxes above the dock refused to clear.

PS - For those of you that played with Vanilla Captivate AOSP ROM, does the GPS work there? Isn't that one a fork of eugene's work as well. I'd like to get this figured out somehow.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
did you copy it over the existing music file? or did you delete , and replace ?

will this process then work with the phone apk as well?:D
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
does this ROM not support sideloading? ive tried using the androidcentral sideload wonder machine and droid explorer and none of my apps are installing.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
Damn you're right. Put this on my phone last night and configured it and left it off the charger. The battery's barely even touched this morning. Paid for the app on the spot.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
ok I think I jest beat zilch in bricking my phone. I didnt like the battery notifier so i tried to change it to the circle batt black mod and my phone flipped out! got all kinds of lookout errors and would not boot. I panicked and got it into stock recovery and wiped all data. now after the samsung boot screen it has been black for going on five minutes. doI yank the batt and try again? please help!:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
ok yanked batt after 10 minutes phone got to white att world phone screen then goes through samsung boot. then black....... nada. how do I fix this? cant get into clockwork to do a nand back up. i can get into stock recovery but that doesnt help cause if i re install packages it will just do the update.zip which is the batt mod im starting to freak.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
If it were me, when the phone goes black I would plug it in to USB and try to connect with ADB. If you can, then ADB shell over to your phone. Navigate to sdcard/clockworkmod/ and take the recovery-update.zip file and copy it to the root of your sd and rename it along the way ( busybox cp /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip. If that's good just do adb reboot recovery and reinstall packages.

I guess worse case scenario is you have to get into Download mode and start fresh.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Sounds like you'll have to use odin to revert to stock, then root and install clockwork to get back to one of you backups. I had to do this when I tried the circle battery mod. DO NOT INSTALL CIRCLE BATTERY MOD. It is not designed for this rom.

edit: try the post above first. I didn't realize the backups made by clockwork don't actually need clockwork to run. I'm still pretty new to this, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
Maybe that should go on the first page, in big red letters so this doesn't occur again.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Forgot to add, this is all assuming that you have done a nandroid backup. If you don't have one then this won't do much good.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I like that before I went to sleep last night, I noticed the lack of jupiter.xml file but decided not to bring it up because eugene says it loads from gps.conf now. Maybe we should try reverting to the old jupiter.xml way until we can make it work with the new method?

Also, if eugene is still interested in an unlocked captivate, know that the only difference is that the vibrant can use att's 3G bands, but the captivate cannot use tmo's... So you'll only get edge speeds

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I do have 2 nand back ups , but i am not familure enough with this ti get adb working I tried with my previous phone and could never get it to recognize my phone. do I need eclipse and to create a new project? i have odin downlaoded but i dont know how to use that either. will keep trying
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
The easiest way to get adb running is to go to google and download the Android SDK. Once downloaded, you'll get a folder called android-sdk-windows and inside it lots of others. I just take the folder called Tools and move it to my desktop. Also, make sure you get the correct drivers from one of those Odin threads.

When that's done, just plug in your phone via USB. Open up a cmd window, start>run>cmd or Windows Key + R > cmd. Once you have a command windows open navigate to the tools folder on your desktop, ie, c:\document and settings\users\bobbylx\desktop\tools . Once there, all you have to do is give ADB commands and it should work, ie, ADB shell or ADB reboot, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
alright i will try this . out of curiosity which file do i down load from odin they have a 160 mb zip and a 200 something rar im on jf6 will try adb first
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Sidelong is already enabled. U don't need to use swm. There is an option called allow downloads from outside source or something like that. Make sure its checked. Most files you can download directly from your browser onto your phone. Then use astro file manager to install them
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
From this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989 , just grab the windows driver, which ever you need, and grab either of those odin's, they are the same file just compressed differently.

So I'm confused now though, you say your running JF6? So you're not running eugene's hybrid?

Either way, steps should be the same, try to restore with nand by using adb method. If adb fails just use odin 1 click to flash to stock and start fresh.
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
gps.conf file has information for gps tweaks that was discussed to fix gps problem.

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

so, gps not working on this rom is either its in the libs or something else. trying to nail it down... gah.

[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
So this has touchwiz removed? And is close to stock Android?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
before I borked my phone, when I looked at "about phone" in settings, it said that i was still on jf6 and the kernal was sre . i downloaded the 160 mb file to my desk top opened odin . can someone post a link on how to work odin please, cause I am missing something. all it says in the 1 click is plug in phone recov with vol up and down +power plug in phone. I am so lost its not funny odin doesnt recognize phone cant change directoried to get adb to work . thinkin im just screwed.:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
I just copied it, no replacing. Samsung's music app is called MusicPlayer.apk, and the stock one is Music.apk, so they were coexisting for a while.

Haven't tried it with phone since I love the AOSP phone app :o
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Look at the threads and you will see that I just posted a HOW TO for Odin/Unbricking. Look at it to help you.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
Side loading would be installing VIA adb from my desktop. I have apk files that I install to my phone that are stored on my desktop, and the only way we can install them now is put them on the SD card and then use astro file manager.

With other roms, you can ./adb install ~/desktop/keyboard.apk and it installs right away.

EDIT: Anyone looking, I have a mac. windows doesn't need the ./ in front of adb commands...
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Well I am still having WIFI issues with it kicking off. I thought it was just a one time thing but it takes stays on about 30 seconds before it defaults back to 3G. Not happy about that continuing to happen. Anyone else getting this because it was happening on my phone with R2. My wife's phone on R2 has not had an issue yet.

Edit: Just had my phone cut out on a call as well. Completely just stopped and I got the auto update of time message. The same person tried a second time and it would not even connect. Dropped my signal to an X so I am stumped. I think I am going back to R2 and see if that might help.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You might want to consider a full flash back to JF6, JH2, or JH3- there might be something wrong on a level a little deeper than the level this ROM touches. Couldn't hurt just to be safe. If you're running ROM Manager, keep the ROM Manager update.zip, then all you have to do is reflash, go into recovery mode, reinstall packages (twice), and it should boot you into Clockwork where you can just flash on the ROM without having to mess with rooting.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Also I wanted to say I stayed up till 5AM last night plugging in libs and screwing with various GPS associated stuff... either our GPS calls some bizarrely named lib, or there's something up with the GPS configuration on this ROM that makes it "vibrant specific"
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah too bad it doesn't work as that's the only thing that's keeping me from using it on a daily basis...I use GPS all the time too get my daughter to all her far away soccer games...:)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
With the accuracy of my GPS it would probably place the Soccer game in the middle of a shopping mall :D
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
First off it sounds like you didn't follow instructions carefully which is why you think you "bricked your phone." Second if your phone shows the boot logo and actually powers on, then that's a good sign its not even a "brick". It would also benefit you to follow the Odin one click inastructions more closely as the only reason I have seen oden not recognize a handset is if its either not in download mode, or you didn't follow the Odin connection sequence properly. You need to run oden first, then connect your handset.

Try reading this if the Odin instructions confuse you.

Haha..yeah I've read about the GPS problems but So far it's work really well for me..Haven't got me lost yet...:D
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Ok, 1st, I had a problem doing the lagfix...... it froze on my pc thru usb cable (I forgot that adb does it every time) so I finished it using terminal emulator. Now I'm very laggy. How do I undo and then redo the lagfix?

Also, and I feel VERY stupid here, MY FILES app is removed..... is there a similar app or am I supposed to browse my storage using root explorer?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you can either look for the captivate system dump and move the .apk back OR use root explorer ($$$) OR use the ad-supported ASTRO (free and pro options)

edit: can't help you with the lagfix, I never use them since this ROM basically flies in day-to-day usage
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I'm a huge lagfix whore and I haven't even applied one to this ROM... it's zooming along pretty well without it IMO O_o
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
exactly i dont need a feel for lagfix with this ROm , actually i have started using this ROm on a daily basis i don't care about GPS for now .
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I already own Root Explorer.... well worth it. Sometimes you just need that functionality. I'd like to just have the apk back or maybe i'll see what else thae market or appbrain recommends just to browse..... i like to only use root explorer when i need to get into the phone. For day to day storage stuff, I liked my files.

I was experiencing some lag, so i tried the fix. Now I may just reflash and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] cruiserbax:
Hello, I know there has been some talk about building a stable froyo ROM and such but little headway due to the lack of a Captivate specific froyo kernel and the differences between the different variants hardware and the like. enough of that and on to my point. I have seen a lot of hard work and great results (throughout this whole site) over the years and normally most just complain about what doesn't work (not all obviously) anyways this ROM is by far the best and most bleeding edge of the Captivate custom ROM front line and I can almost smell all the custom Froyo ROMs that will arise once and if we get a Froyo kernel for the Captivate. SO, I would like to make a donation since being in the Army I do not have the time to donate my technical skills. I don't wont to leave any major contributors to this ROM out so please eugene373 if more than your self has made a sizable contribution would you consider adding credits to the OP? I know I can see some possibilities just from following this thread. Thanks and great work everyone!

Have an AIRBORNE day!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I think you were referencing my post about the phone call issue. I have done the fresh flash to JF6 then to JH3 and loaded this both on my wife's phone as well as mine. Did that with the original Vibrant and the R2 before flashing R3 on top of R2. I didn't change her phone to R3 for comparisons so I can't say it would effect her as well. Right now I am going to stay with R2 and see what happens. I removed Beautiful Widgets for now since that would be my cause of Auto update and time, or so I believe that is what would cause that. It seemed that when I would get the auto update it would cut my connection when I was on a call which is weird.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Ihave beautiful widgets installed and I have no issues with phone calls. I would have to say my reception and. Call quality seems better With this Rom if that's. Possible.
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
This build (previous versions included) keeps causing my phone to do a sort of soft-reset. I'll lock it, then the screen will turn on, and act like it was just booted up. Has to search for cell signal, scan media, and start Tasker.

Hasn't caused any real problems yet, but it can't be a good thing... :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] oldskooldawgz:
666 haha sorry for being off topic this rom is amazing but I hsd issues so had to flash bak
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Not very helpful to not say what issues you had. Without us stating the issues we each have on our phone how can anyone fix them?
[Captivate Android Development] oldskooldawgz:
Ya I know im sorry im sorry I believe my issues are beimg worked on id like to help I will probably donate soon to eugene and the guy developing the vanilla
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Ok, just curious if you were having similar issues to others that are known issues or if you had other problems.
[Captivate Android Development] eugene373:
I've had no help & I always give credit. Fact is I spent a solid week just removing force close issues after removing ttwiz.

100% my work & edits
[Captivate Android Development] freedonkey:
Thanks for your great work. You should team up with cyanogen

and make this community even great
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Yeah, ill admit i was panicked lol but i took your advise and turns out i even had wrong odin downloaded lol noob right. But i opened the zip got the right one, and after about 10 attempts i was able to recover my phone, so thank you every one for the help. I can breath again. Lol circle batt mod woth black evo bar and this rom obviously dont agree. Here endeth the lesson.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
You do good work for the android hacking community. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into developing this. If people can help or at least report problems so they can be corrected, we'll probably not need Cyanogenmod, this ROM is just that good.
[Captivate Android Development] coldfuzion76:
Been running this rom since right after r3 came out, and am loving it. The captivate is my first android phone, and I think I've probably flashed every rom posted on here since I got it, finally getting the hang of it. I think it's great work that you've done, especially putting up with all of us new to android. There's a lot of us here with the introduction of this phone. Just wanted to say thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I flashed this once. Loved it, except for a noticeable and terrible lag.... would even have to call it a freeze it was so bad at one point...... ran the lagfix instructions..... still, 1st thing i did was hit the apps icon and i got the little house icon at the bottom center but it took like 3-5 secs for the apps to actually come up...... other random lags, too..... but i like the look alot.....so I started over. Same exact result. That's my ONLY problem with this..... what do you think, try flashing an Odin 1st to "clean up" my phone? Everyone else says they have no lag, so I don't know what to do....
[Captivate Android Development] g0dzilla32:
Idk I'd this is all necessary but I flashed stock.. rooted.. Enable side loading.. Install rom manager and flash the zip... Then flash unhelpful kernal and this rom is awesome.. No lag what so ever.. I don't use gps so I could care less. Just needed to install swype... Found the apk on google but its def different then the version that was stock.
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
swype version is 1.57.32.7688 and you need to find the apk for it from the saptivate system dump that has been posted here, and put it in the /system/app folder.

there is another file that needs to be copied back to the /system/lib folder, and it is called libswypecore.so
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
how do u flash the unhelpfuls kernel? im still noob at this
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
Instructions are in the unhelpful kernel thread.

The easy way is to run SRE 1.2.1a as it does it for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I agree. I'm using unhelpfuls with this and it runs just as fast if not faster than sre with unhelpfuls n lagfix. I'll Def be keeping this running for awhile. I just hope the gps is fixed by next month. Going on vaca and I might need it
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
oo ight so i just flash hybrid over sre?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No SRE will not work with this ROM you need to flash unhelpful kernel using ROM manager.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
okay thanks going to try this now
[Captivate Android Development] prittyboy203:
Can someone help I flashed this rom and I keep trying to add the lag fix that its stated and I keep getting the low memory and something else is low sign and It makes my phone super fast but I want it to work with out the low memory notification text can someone tell me what I can do or what I'm doing wrong thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Do you have the USB mounted to your computer? That's the only time I've seen low memory messages, I left my USB mounted after copying files and tried to run something (can't remember which app or script) but got low memory message.

Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] prittyboy203:
Hum I didn't have my phone on charger or mounted on pc but I just flashed back and I'm about to try again thanks tho but just I'm case still would like more info on this low memory message I have looked around and I see its because if the 130 memory we have on the phone its self but I'm trying to move everything to the extra 16gb external memory card I have to see if that would help take the junk I got off the internal memory
