[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
So far it feels pretty zippy, annoying places where it hung up previously (Like when you're setting up your google account and go down to the password field) aren't hiccuping like they used to. Obviously this is a ridiculously early assessment, but so far I've gotten a GPS lock in my house and I haven't had it pause for anything.

Still no HSUPA (shocker =P)
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
I guess the only disheartening thing about this is why are they still releasing eclair builds?
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
can i get clear instructions on how to flash this thing??? I just want to save myself time from multiple flashings
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you can't be bothered to read my post literally one page before this one you're probably better off waiting for a Kies update =P
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Zilch, you always have to have something to complain about :p

Unfortunately I don't get to play with this yet =(

too many reasons to REQUIRE my phone in the next two days to risk bricking it right now. drat at hearing this improves GPS too, considering GPS is one of the reasons I can't let the phone die
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
There's no pleasing me =P

Besides, we'll see how improved GPS really is once someone who's significantly less lazy than me gets in the car and tries it :D
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Lol true statement. Flashed before zilch made his post about repartition not being necessary if you flash with odin one click. After I flashed back and left repartition unchecked it worked.

I imagine DG is working on SRE for this build so he will probably update the OP to state about the repartition issue for most of us.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
they need to make sure everything is working in Eclair first. if you port something forward to FroYo and it's still not functional, is it because FroYo changed something or is it because of a pre-existing bug.

basically, things need to get sorted out and proven functional "as is" before they simply move on. hopefully this will mean all the FroYo changes will be much more streamlined because there are no residual bugs to fix.

+1 to lern2readgood
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
ZIlch25 you da bomb man. It works !
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
headed out right now for a test :P
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah on the 2.1 vs 2.2 development front, look at it this way:

Froyo has some under the hood improvements that we'll all enjoy, but it will still run like ass if Samsung doesn't tweak out the crummy inconsistencies that RFS and Touchwiz bring to the table. From fiddling with Samsung Froyos I can tell you 100% that they still run just as poorly in day to day use as 2.1 and the problem isn't the underlying OS, it's crummy optimization and bad decisions on Samsungs part. I fully support them using 2.1 to tweak the snot out of their sloppy coding and then porting it into 2.2 instead of rushing into an OS they aren't familiar with and botching up the whole thing!

Tldr: Any improvements they make to 2.1 will be ported into 2.2 leaving us with a much more refined, smoother running product!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Thank you sir! Your dedication to not being a lazy slob on a Saturday brings a tear to my eye!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I got a 20 m lock in my house on maps. Would not lock in my basement :D but once I walked upstairs it showed within seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
oh come on, you guys are really gonna do this to me?

go ahead, tell me how great GPS is when I'm trying so hard to not flash my phone
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
I get a lock if I'm by my window, which is definitely an improvement over JH3. But no lock inside anywhere else.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Shhh guys even if GPS is terrible lets lie about how awesome it is so that Kaik will lose his mind! GO GO GO!
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
For the people that get a lock inside is this with wireless networks checked in the location settings?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
don't say that Zilch, they listen to you!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nope, mine is off. First thing I checked after I got the lock
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I never use my GPS, it worked when I would try. For this build I was just on my main level walking around and my location was moving with me. The compass on it was perfect showing my exact direction in relation to the street outside. :eek: No way to brick the phone if you one click and flash with repartition unchecked.

My wifi is off as well.

[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
So i flashed back to jf6 (i click)

Then, flashed with the PIT and jh7, with repartition checked. Couldn't get those files to mount on E.

Now, I tried to flash it again with the pit and jh7 WITHOUT repartition, and still no dice.

Going to try to flash back to jf6, then try the jh7 without repartition, and see if that causes anything.
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
Does anyone remember what stock JF6 scored in Quadrant?

I just ran with this ROM and scored a 922, not stellar but that's with bloatware and AT&T junk. I'm curious as to how this compares as it definitely seems snappier.
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
That's what you need to do.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
DO NOT repartition after flashing to JF6 to get the JH7 update.

This is a "high" update. It doesn't contain two necessary files (params and dbdata) If you repartition AFTER flashing to JF6 it deletes these necessary areas on the phone. Just One click to JF6, then flash without pit or repartition for JH7... easy as pie!
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
What is the best way to test the GPS?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Stock is around 850, 905ish with bloat removed. It's definitely clocking a little higher but the results will certainly vary and it won't hold much bearing on how well the phone operates, since most of the screwups these phones have aren't relaly "benchmarkable"
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
yup, doing that now.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Also an interesting little tidbit: In your USB settings the Kies option has been changed to be "Kies (Firmware Update)". This most likely confirms what we all have suspected: No OTA, Kies will become to update platform for Captivates, just like with the I9000
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
up and running! now once SRE is ported over to this badboy, i'll be excited.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Unleash the Beast works on this BTW.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Just checked out our jupiter.xml:

cLogEnabled="false"

This is looking more and more like an OFFICIAL update instead of a test build, though this is more than likely the test version of the official (since it's a high version)
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Alright, I've just flashed it straight from JH3.

Just opened Odin, put this in PDA, left everything as is, flashed. The only thing that happened is that my downloaded Fascinate LWP now FCs, I'm going to try to reinstall it.

EDIT: I've apparently lost root, but still have sideloading. All is good, I guess.

EDIT2: Fascinate LWPs are now broken. Something is amiss with this ROM. Indicative of a significant revision?

EDIT3: LBStestmode is NO LONGER PRESENT with key code *#1472365#
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
Ugh, I want to install my multi-touch keyboard...
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I did the EXT2 lag fix on this, I haven't installed all my apps yet from Titanium but this thing is redunkules fast.

[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
I'm going in. You guys got me all excited lol
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
I am in as well. Need my gps to work. Hopefully this will do it. Going the JF6 route.. hoping that sre or beast are updated over night so i got root, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I really don't feel a need for a lagfix in this build so far, it is still really fast but we will see if that changes...
[Captivate Android Development] Main Target:
Does it have the same stuff that the vib firmware shows?

I might wait and see, because **** im tired of reinstalling all my crap.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
whats the pass word to unlock rar. ?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
samfirmware.com

Gotta get designgears to update the OP when he comes back from the GPS test!
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Where do I get the PIT file to use when repartition jf6? and where can I get Jf6 not in a one click exe?

Feeling a bit newbish at the moment lol.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
if you go to samfirmwares.com, you can probably find both the pit file and the jf6 without the one click flash.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Uhh why would you not do the one click? It works perfectly and you don't need to use repartition if you do. Second, get the pit file that is in the odin thread. It should still be there.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
samfirmware.com has all of that stuff, including pit. Just go to their firmware section and navigate to Captivate and you'll find everything you'll need/want. You will have to register though =P
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
does this still root the same as previous versions? did anyone try the overclock kernel? any success with a lag fix?
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
It said earlier in thread you dont need to use pit. Just one click JF6 and then odin to JF7 . DO NOT CLICK REPARTITION it said.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Wow, thanks for the quick replies!

I didn't see an option to repartition in the one click so i assume it didn't do it. Guess I'll just do that. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yes, rooting is still the same. OC Kernel should work fine, though I'm not sure if there have been any modifications to the stock kernel in this version. Lag fixes should work the same as always =P
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
One click partitions on it's own :)
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
It says in 1st post to repartition jf6, but not to jh7. That's what I was asking about.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah no biggy, gotta get 'gears to update the OP with the right way to flash this + the archive password
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
and if read through whole thread . People say dont .
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
Maybe this was a planned OTA update? With the missing dbdata and param files, it seems like they would roll this out and use the stock updater to flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I use both. One click when I need to go back to stock so I don't have to worry about all the file crap, and then the full odin 3 when I want to do these things. Might not be efficient but it is easy for me.:)

Should mention as no surprise to anyone GPS still wont work on the Vibrant hybrid. I had wishful thinking about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup, this looks like a future Kies update, most of the debug stuff in JH3 and JH2 seems to be deactivated

Edit: There won't be OTA's for this phone, I can pretty much guarantee it
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Even if Samsung optimizes their rfs system ...wouldn't it still be safe to say that it would be more efficient with the voodoo fix instead?
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Source for this, please?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I don't have one, other than the fact that as far as I can see they've NEVER done an OTA for the SGS series phones, it's all been done through Kies
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
That's kind of a bummer, they've done it with previous phones. Why not with the Galaxy S line:(?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Can't say for sure, but as of now EXT4 is still going to be faster- I doubt they'll change the file system officially though, but who knows
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
I got a successful flash.. JF6 one click downloader to JH7 with PIT file. Booting up now for the first time. Wondering if this build has the quickoffice on it as did JH2 and JH3 had.

Can't access the LBStestmode app dialing *#1472365#* wtf
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
It does......................
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Eh it could happen, I certainly don't have any sort of insider source or anything feeding me information. I just wouldn't hold my breath, every "official" update I've ever seen from sammy for the SGS series has been distributed via Kies, but who knows, maybe AT&T will push it OTA... I just don't have that kind of faith in ATT though either =P
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
it does :-)
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
Ok about to try it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
that was quick! and same answer I expected. I know what I'm doing tonight. I've been looking for reason to flash my phone again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
K so what I did so far and evry thing is running awesome ( so far , fingers crossed ) :

I formated my internal SD ( Just cause it makes me feel good )

I used one click odin back to JF6

I flashed JH7 with odin , no pit no repartition.

Installed [TOOL] Unleash The Beast V0.2

and then Tayutama's EXT2 lag fix

working great so far no test yet.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
anyone else unable to get mass torage to work after updating to jh7? My computer see the internal and external sd cards but they are greyed out and can't open them.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
It was working for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup, just tried it, both internal and external are seen and accessible
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:

[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Thanks guys. I'll have figure out what's up with my PC.

Can confirm gps lock is amazing locks in my house within 30 secs never would lock before.

Rooted fine, Seems pretty zippy

Now waiting for DG to get an sre for this lol
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
this isn't good lol

hopefully he didn't wreck when he was staring at his phone because he was so blown away by the accurate gps!!!

Procedure:

1. Odin3 One-Click

2. JF7 Flash

3. Ryan OneClick LagFix

So far my initial impression is... GPS locked outside in about 10 seconds (much faster than before), Quadrant score was 2300+ (about the same as my previous set up). The only thing that I notice that makes me feel slightly sad is that the initial boot up when the media scanner is running lags the phone like mad, but once that is finished... it runs smooth. Media scanner ran slow on my really old set up and seemed to be flawless with SRE... heres to hoping DG makes a SRE release for this soon as I really miss his wonderful packages (cough sucking up cough)

Awesome post/find DG and mad props to everyone who already answered my questions before I even had to ask. God I love this forum!
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
Just used SRE MOBILEAP only update and that worked. Got the MobileAP working again. Now to rebuild. Going to load launcherpro so i can make an icon for the lbstestmode that i cannot connect to via the telephone app.

I was using the Eclair I9000 ROM prior to flashing this and the surprising this is that all of my applications that I have installed on I9000 ROm are not erased after flashing to this ROM. And now my phone is behaving in a wierd way. Is there a way to clear of those settings?

thanks

[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:

Well my gps is working alot better but it got fricken confused when I searched in the yellow pages app for walmart then asked it to direct me there took me to target instead which is down the street to the left had to go right past walmart. Now told it to go from walmart to my house and it took me directly there and even showed me a google maps pic of my car and house when I pulled in the drive. So other then the confusion there it seems spot on

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiknerv:
What do you mean 'Push to unlock' ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suxelexus:
Instead of 'slide' to unlock, 'push' to unlock. like the omnia II.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
like the windows default lock where you only get the unlock button (left soft button location)?

I think if you install any of these other lockscreens that overwrite the sense lockscreen, then uninstall, that is what you are left with.
[Android Software Development] jetpack101:
Ok a very general question but why is it so hard to exit an application with android!

This is my first android phone and I love it, I will never use another phone type.

My previous phones where windows mobile and closing an application was pretty simple.

With android it's easier to just turn the phone off each night and back on but I would really like to end an application when I want to.
