I just came across a small issue. I am running beta 7 and I see that there is a new update for launcher pro, but it will not install correctly. Do we have to do something special to update it since it is installed as a system app in beta 7?

Thanks, appreciate it!

Peace

Dan

I got it to work by making zeam my default launcher, uninstalling launcherpro, then redownload launcherpro from the market.

Hope this helps...

Weird messaging bug

I would like to see if anyone else has this issue. If so, could you please confirm it in the thread, and possibly PM me so we can let designgears know. I am going to try my best to describe what I believe leads to the problem:

1. I must have just relieved and be viewing a message conversation with "individual A"

2. I receive a message from "individual B"

3. Without leaving A's conversation I pull down the notification bar, and access "B's" new message and conversation.

4. while viewing "individual B's" conversation i try to send a reply to B, but it switches me back to "individual A's" conversation and sends them the reply (instead of B).

​

This has been very frustrating, embarrassing, and incriminating -- especially when I have accidentally sent messages to my boss, mother, and certain coworkers that don't understand some of the "things" me and my friends txt about.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Yea only people on beta7 will have the problem because touchwiz is automatically removed...
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
thanks a bunch! ur a life-saver!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes this has been brought up before and it's a bug in the leaked version of Froyo..There is nothing that can be done. the work around is to not use the notification bar to open up the text message while in the messaging program....

Any suggestions if voodoo lagfix is not on the phone after installing cognition 2.2 beta 7? I looked and the voodoo folder is not on the phone or sd.

I attempted to install the voodoo lag fix using the update.zip method but encountered an issue that caused me to have to use odin to get the phone working again.

The error was "copy_multi_carrier from: ATT

multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/ATT/system/"

I love cognition but am benchmarking below moto droid w/o the lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Congrats. Tonight you get another form answer that's been stated many times. Voodoo does not work under froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
Ughhhh voodoo does not work with froyo. Not sure how u missed that information...

As for benchmarking... *le sigh*

[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
Does anyone know how to force Facebook to use the touch/mobile site in Froyo when clicking on notifications in the Facebook app? I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

When I click on a notification in the Facebook app, it'll open the default browser and the URL will have touch.facebook.com, but then it redirects to www.facebook.com.

If I go into the browser myself, I can navigate to touch.facebook.com or m.facebook.com just fine without it redirecting.

It doesn't do this in Eclair 2.1...it usually loads the mobile site.
[Captivate Android Development] zg2150:
With all the debate around LagFix on on 2.2, it would be interesting to see a side-by-side video comparison of two devices - with and without. Unfortunately, I only have one, otherwise I'd post it up.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
Backlight Notifications

For the very few that are still on 2.1.6 (Eclair), I noticed that the backlight notifications don't work after flashing 2.1.6 with the relevant kernel.

To get this to work:

1. Use Rom Manager to Flash Cognition 2.1.6 with atinm backlight/voodoo kernel

2. Disable Lagfix (create a folder named "disable-lagfix" in the Voodoo folder on SDcard)

3. Download Atinm kernel (just the kernel not the rom) and rename it to update.zip and save it on the root of the SDcard

4. reboot into Recovery (NOT CLOCKWORK recovery) and hit reinstall packages

5. Re-enable Lagfix (delete the folder created in step 2)

6. Reboot

DG/someone please add this to the FAQ.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I never had this issue with beta5.5, but right after I flashed to 7 (I skipped 6) I sent my gf a test message. She replied from her position on the couch just two coushins over. Couple hours later a friend of mine texted me. Swiped to unlock, replied, tapped send. That message went to my girlfriend. No notifcation bar interrupts, no switching SMS threads.

This is a BAAAAAAAAD bug, but it hasn't happened to me since. Looks like it's a froyo problem with the leaked firmware, so there's not much DG can do. I just wanted let everyone know, if you're running any version of the leaked JI6 you may be at risk, so use google voice or a third party SMS client for your shady business.
[Captivate Android Development] Aerimus:
I think the problem is more that Launcherpro is installed in a different location (system) in Beta 7, not necessarily just because touchwiz home launcher has been removed.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
I was just running a fresh 2.2b7

went in this morning to clear the battery went to reboot and now i am getting

[Captivate Android Development] david717:
I'm pretty sure I had the same issue pre-froyo. It happened to me before froyo was even leaked. Although, I don't remember if I was using the native messaging client or chompSMS. I know it's possible I could have just screwed up and replied to the wrong person, but I actually showed it to both parties and we all had a laugh.
[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
I guess we will have to wait for an answer from DG on this or...Beta 8, with updated LauncherPro and z4mod :P

Email

Hey guys, been trolling the boards for a while. Finnaly grew a pair and and flashed Cog Bete 7 using Rom Manager. Couple things, speed is great, new 2.2 features are great. Battery is so so... only problem im getting is that when ever i try to reply or compose an email in the email client (exchange) , app crashes and takes me back to homescreen. was wondering if it has something to do with my flashing through Rom Manager and Clockwork, instead of using Odin. What do you guys think? Any one else with this problem? Thanks guys.

oh and GD (i think thats your name) thanks for this excellent rom! donation will be made soon to the Beer fund!
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I just loaded 2.2B7 and it seems ok, other than the fact that its a freaking battery hog like no other. Its worse than JF6 was. I can literally sit and watch the battery meter tick down. I want to go back to my stock JH7, that was excellent on the battery, how can I do that? How can I roll back to JH7?

Do I have to do odin one click back to JF6 then go back to JH7 with mini kies?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
I would but... My wife and her mother (who are both on my plan) have dumb phones, and they like to text message a lot.

I end up having to pay for text messaging anyways. Besides, I'm pretty sure (but not positive) that Google Voice only supports sms and not mms.

In addition, many of the short codes won't work with Google Voice.

Market Help

First off....thanks to DG for making my Cappy what it was supposed to be!

Now my dilema. Since flashing to 2.2 Beta7, I get the dreaded "Starting Download" hang in market. It usually does end up downloading/installing after 1-2 hours (even after hitting Cancel Download). I've read through all the FAQ's/wiki's/anout 400 pages or so of this thread but can't seem to locate a fix (if one exists). I followed all the instructions as read and everything else went as smooth as the top of Dr. Phils head.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to go back to stock 2.1 after having installed 2.2 beta 7? I made a Nandroid backup of 2.1 using clockwork before I switched to 2.2 but the phone stays stuck on the AT&T loading screen when I attempt to recover back to it.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
It's possible, but you have to use Odin One Click to do it, THEN restore your Nandroid backup.

At least that's what I would do since even though there is a working 2e recovery, I think there may be issues since 2.2 uses a different data method than 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] hellishhorses:
Battery life sucked at first, tried this, still sucked, uninstalled tango, still sucked, found out I had a corrupted micro sd, pulled it now getting phenomenal battery. Drops like 1-2% an hour; now I'm no mathematician but I think that's like 50-100 hours = 2-4 days.

[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Nand doesn't seem to work between os versions, you can restore but only after you flash a 2.1 rom. You can flash cognition 2.1.x with the .zip so you dont need odin or to reroot and reinstall rom manager. From there you can nand restore. Your old rom.
[Captivate Android Development] hellishhorses:
Kept getting the "damaged external sd" message, but I've gotten that before, pulled sd, put it in my pc and back into the phone and worked fine. But this time, the pc notified me that there was an error with the card and every time I tried to load it, view files or format it I kept getting the same card read error message. So now I've got a new 16gb card on the way and the old one is in the desk drawer; all the while the battery life has skyrocketed. Didn't even charge my phone last night, believe it or not.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Ah okay, because I'm seeing between 5 and 10% loss per hour, display on minimum. Yes I have bluetooth, gps, and wifi going, but according to the battery status the display is eating all the battery. (Which is odd, since the timeout is 30 seconds, and well I don't have it on all that much while I'm working.)
[Captivate Android Development] droooid:
I'm running Cognition v2.2 BETA7 and everything works great except for the GPS. It takes several minutes to lock and the tracking is sub-par. I've tried the Jupiter tweaks, but they did not help at all. The wireless location setting works a little better but still nowhere near the accuracy of GPS. (navigation takes awhile to recalculate when it thinks I'm off the road)

I've done the quick GPS fix/LbsTestMode setting change on the stock ROM and it performed MUCH better, but it does not seem like this is available in the latest build.

Anyone else have similar issues or know of GPS tweaks for the Cognition 2.2/FroYo build?
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
I still don't understand why people keep having issues with this rom. I've been on beta 5, 5.5, 6 and now 7 and the ONLY issue that I've experienced is that it doesn't vibrate on keypresses when you select that. To me, that is a non issue because even if it works, I always have it to off. This is a minor problem.

Other than that, I've had no issues with it. battery life is just as it was when I was stock.

If youre having problems with wi-fi, gps, rebooting, lag, SMS, MMS, then something ELSE is wrong. I'm not having any of those problems.

quit blaming the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I just ran quadrant on this and it was only 990??!! Why is the nexus one on 2.2 blowing away our supposedly better Galaxy S phones? Also, doesnt this Beta7 supposedly have the Tayutama's Lagfix v2.3.3? Even the Droid X is smoking this phone.

Does this version of 2.2 really have JIT enabled? Whats up?

And on linpack I only got 13.2Mflops while the nexus one gets like 35-40Mflops. Is the Galaxy S really a better phone?
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
I don't think anyone is blaming DG or the ROM, instead we're asking how other people have configured things to get better performance. And isn't that kind of the the point of flashing the ROM? To get a better performing and customizable phone?

Unfortunately, forum posts lack subtle cues that better relate one's own meaning, so often time things can be misinterpreted as blame or anger. I know I'll endeavor to use the smiles more to attempt to relay those extra cues. :D

Have fun.

I can't answer your question exactly, but for people interested you can get the app "No Lock" from the market and have no lock screen at all.

I've been running it for a few weeks now and love it. Was so tired of having to unlock it everytime I wanted to check for messages.

Well, I think some people get frustrated by a number of factors and then take it out on people. Most notably, if someone has 300+ posts, they've obviously had some time to work with the forums, and should know how to search by now.

The second piece is, this isn't a general Q&A thread. I know I'm guilty of asking a few questions here, but I do so only after searching and reading (not all 400+ pages, but the last 50 is enough to tell me that the benchmarking apps have proven to be biased).

I strongly suggest any new person to read up on at least the last 50 pages, it doesn't take all that long, and might give you some insight into who's going to help you out and such.

Noob with a question ok so before i had my captivate all i had were iphones and eventhough you can customize them by jailbreak i found the options few and far between so when the time came for upgrade i chose to go android and have never regreted that desision recently i flashed the leaked version of 2.2 to my captivate and other than a few problems i found i love it so now im thinking about taking the plunge and flashing a custom rom and after lots of searching i think i am going with cog2.2 beta7 but i was hoping i could get some input from people that already have it installed there are many things about the vanilla version of 2.2 that i like but i like the idea of a tweaked version so exactly what would i noticably gain by using the cog version and what is lost by using it because like i said there are some things i love about the vanilla version ie: new keyboard new task manager and while im on the subject can anyone tell me if this unlocks the sensorship on the market and allows third party downloads any input and advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
