I use Touchdown (with Cog 2.3b6), and have not noticed any slowness in the app...at least nothing unbearable.

Could be that it has always been slow and I'm just used to it.

Where do you get the slowness?

What version are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
It's essentially a known issue on the Galaxy S series.

The best way to increase performance is to move the DB to the SD card. The only drawback is sometimes the database can get corrupted (I usually get around that by moving the DB back to the phone before I mount the SD on my PC when connecting the phone).

You can change this in Touchdown by the following:

1. From the main screen, hit the far left capacitive key to bring up the menu (I forget what this is called) -- NOTE not the email key in TD, but the actual capacitive key;

2. On the menu that pops-up (should have options like Sync, Enable Push, Change Pin, etc) select MORE;

3. Select Profiles;

4. Hold down the area that has a green check mark and says "Default Account - Database is on the device";

5. Another menu will pop-up that says Switch To and Move to SD -- Select Move to SD

6. You should see much better performance with TD now -- apparently the TD developer (he goes by G) mentioned that its related to the way Samsung has implemented the file structure is why this is more effective on the Galaxy S series.

When you want to move back, follow the same procedure, but select Move to Phone.

I think there is a sticky on TD's group site about it as well: http://groups.google.com/group/nitrodesk/web/slow-samsung-devices

(maybe I should have just linked that from the beginning instead of typing everything out :D)

I use touchdown as well. Overall speed of the app is not bad, but i do get delays when hitting the delete key when the email is open or hitting send after composing an email. Slight delay when opening the email list.

My performance actually go down after moving data to the SD card. I've been battling this for a long time. Would be nice to have the app snappier...

need to update to 2.3b6 (currently on the latest 2.4) but how do I know that voodoo is working? In the past (months ago) I ran a different lag fix and never disabled it, but have since done master clears and always flash with odin. How can I make sure that when I flash 2.3b6 that I only have voodoo enabled afterward?
[Captivate Android Development] bravisha:
I am using the latest version 6.2.0012

I experience noticeable lags when i click to open a message from the email list, when i click to return to inbox and a few other actions. I would say overall there is definitely some lag across all the different email screens. I have experienced this kind of lag on the stock ROM and saw huge improvement after OCLF. With these Voodoo ROMs, the lag is better than stock ROM but not as great as I had with OCLF.

This is the only app i have such issues with. everything else on my 2.3B6 is smooth and fast.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Awesome. Thanks. The exta . was bugging me too :-)
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
IK have a strange question regarding the lag fixing file rebuilding process.

I remove my External Card with each ROM flash....With the new files system rewriting should we keep the SD card in the phone to have it also reformatted or is the Lag fixing files specifically for internal SD?

I am not really sure what is being done to the files system but if it is not also done to the Exteral card would not calls to that card become laggy?
[Captivate Android Development] bravisha:
Many thanks for your reply. Glad to know that this is a known problem. I was worried I flashed or lagfixed in the wrong way. I just tried move to SD but it really didnt help much. Could also be all the security policies imposed by my corporate IT that makes it slow in my case. Anyways, thanks to everyone for a quick reply and valuable feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] BodaciousDrake:
I've searched through this thread and others that I could find looking for the android.policy.jar needed to enable the glass lock screen. (I guess I'm one of the few that actually likes it :S)

Anyway, there are several posts concerning it, but all anyone has said is to pull it from an older build. That's a problem because I no longer have an older build, and I cannot find an older build.

Does anyone have the android.policy.jar from an older build, or even a link to an older build?

[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
From what I've read in past posts... pull the sim/sdcard and re-flash to stock then upgrade to Cog. Then re-insert sim/sdcard and you should be all set. Possibly just a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:

hmm ... I've been using the latest touchdown in the market and for me it's working just fine ...

the work around you mention is also a bit strange .. the internal sdcard should have better performance than the external one..
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
Several have reported this. I was checking back in to see if there was any more info on it.

I stocked, cleared, and flashed two times and had the same effect each time - no mobile data network access whatsoever.

My other symptom was with airplane mode. If I pressed it, it would gray out but never finish switching to airplane most (it would just keep saying "turning off all wireless radios..." in settings, and just fade and become un-clickable in the shutdown menu). If I then rebooted, the airplane icon would show in the notification bar after reboot, but settings would indicate airplane mode was off. Trying to turn it on would result in the same lock-up as above, so I was in permanent airplane mode that I couldn't get out of. My only solution was to flash 2.4.1, because I was really happy with that ROM anyway.

Sounds like a ROM Manager flash with the SIM card out might be the next thing for me to try (of course I have to stock/clear/flash to get back from 2.4.1 first).

I've noticed the same thing. I made a video a while back when there was a big debate about it. I have no doubt that this isn't a Cog thing, the non-lagfix examples in that video are still what I experience with any ROM or lagfix, except for any using OCLF. OCLF makes Touchdown zoom, for whatever reason.

Can we just disable voodoo and put OCLF on instead?

Market Issues

In the past few Cognition builds I have see problems in the Market where I select something to download and it either never starts to download or the download starts, hits 100% and then does nothing after that. I can cancel the download and usually on the 2nd or 3rd try it will work. This usually occurs when it's trying to auto update a few apps at once, but it has happened individually before.

Anyone else run into this?

Go to Settings > About Phone and look at your baseband version. If it says UNKNOWN the update.zip didn't flash your baseband driver (modem.bin). This happened to me. I saw all the same symptoms (not recognizing SIM, Flight Mode acting weird).

What I did was download Odin v1.3 (Google it). I also extract the modem.bin from the Cognition ROM. I put the phone in download mode (hold volume up + down while plugging in USB cord from PC) then flash the modem.bin to the phone using Odin, solved my issue.

Where is 2g 3g toggle in beta 6?

Edit: I was able to manually do it with the secret code thing, but that's kind of annoying... I have to switch it to 3G only when at home (otherwise a 2G tower takes over), and then 2g when at work.

Does anyone know a way to do it without the secret code?

Message today from AT&T

I am running 2.3b6. Is anyone else getting this (4.05PM, Nov 19):

AT&T is providing a free update for your phone. When Asked to install the update, please select OK. Thank You.

This ROM is great DG. Only one fc so far (under Kindle after reading for a while and exiting the app.)
[Captivate Android Development] stryderxx:
I'm usually not the type to post comments on this forum (typical lurker) but I was compelled to this time because this latest ROM is amazing (2.3b6). No more lag or launcher crashes. Every aspect of the phone works great now and the speed is truly epic. A big thank you goes out to Designgears for this one. :)

[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Okay, this 2.3b6 is the best so far!

I took a short break to test out Doc's Rom ported by MickyMike01 (sp?), and i'm back after only a few days!

MickyMike's Rom was fast, but it had the slight un-stable feeling to it... Plus i got a couple FC's, but it wasn't terrible...

But now that b6 is released, it has more of a Durable Feeling to it, feels more stable & heavy duty...

Plus b6 is pretty much just as fast now that Voodoo is updated to include /system.

Battery Life is awesome for me too!

I flashed this morning at 6am, and its now 8:15pm and still going! i have 18% battery left, but i've been killing this thing today!

Took like 40 pictures, been viewing pics for about 2+ hours.

Plus using facebook app, plus browing the net for a good 50% of the day!

All in all, just a great experience with b6!

Just wanted to make a Point to everyone complaining about battery life:

Please Be Sure To Flash on a Full Battery!

Charge your battery fully with the phone TURNED OFF and Then Flash with a new rom!

Problems disabling voodoo

Hey guys,

I am having some weird issues with disabling lagfix with 2.3b6.

My first mistake was I forgot to disable lagfix before flashing to stock, and then master clearing with OOC the first time. Once the rom flashed, I went to disable lagfix so I could a backup, and my phone would just sit at the att logo screen with no voodoo voice, indefinitely.

I pulled the battery for ten seconds, opened OOC, put the phone in download mode, and flashed to stock, and master cleared again. I then installed rom manager, flashed clockwork, cleared cache/dalvik cache, and then flashed the rom with data/cache wipe. I used this process the first time I flashed as well. This time I was able to disable lagfix, but I soft bricked my phone trying to apply circle battery mod, so I reverted to a backup.

I next turned my phone off, opened OOC, put phone into download mode, and flashed to stock and master cleared again. I then downloaded CWM, flashed recovery, cleared cache/dalvik cache, and then flashed the rom with data wipe/cache clear. I then again went to disable lag fix, and I got indefinitely stuck on the ATT logo screen with no voodoo voice again. I am now back on 2.4.1 and can disable lag fix with no issues. Any ideas?

Edit* I did root the phone before installing CWM while stock, in the process. Forgot to mention that.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Change the device id to YOUR true device id. Everyone using this ROM, unless they change it, has the same device id. Since we are all downloading from the Market at any given time, the Market sees multiple downloads from the same device id. It will then only allow downloads on a first come first serve basis.
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
I flash back to stock with Odin without disabling voodoo all the time. It changes the file system back to rfs so there shouldn't be an issue there. Also, if you master cleared, there would be no voodoo folder to disable lagfix in??? I'm confused, can you clarify?
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:
I'm confused too. I don't know what the issue is. I figured the master clear would resolve the issue regardless. I am just having problems with this new version of voodoo in 2.3b6. The rom will load, but it seems like disabling lag fix is broken or something. I don't know what the problem is. It will just sit at the ATT logo screen and I will never hear the voodoo voice or anything. Only apps installed at that point are CWM and Root Explorer.

One thing I have noticed is when I master clear in OOC, the status bar will never completely fill. It will say complete, and my phone will reboot and then the MTP screen will show, but OOC will never show pass or anything after several minutes. It will just say complete, and "Removed" at the bottom. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It is interesting to know that they may be a problem disabling the lagfix on this rom but why are you trying to at this point im time

I have a question... was the Android ID Changer App removed in b6? Because i can't seem to find it for some reason...
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:

Ooh, i see. Okay, well back to the old fashion way! ADB!

It is recommended to just restore APP with TIBU? or I can restore app+system data too?

Also I noticed that with the launcher2 runs very smootly but when i installed LauncherPRO+ lags a little bit. Launcher pro its not recommended??

I like LauncherPRO because the custom thing.

Any tips?? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Both I believe but now that I think about it when I flashed this I put my phone down and walked away. Change log suggest that you should hear voices on your phone

never heard them on 2.4 so I wanted to check for when I flash 2.3b6. Wonder when 2.3b7 will be out... But its been so long since I flashed my phone so a good flashing is in order.

Couple of things:

Does anyone else ever have an issue where they will plug their usb cable into their phone, the phone will recognize the cable, you choose Mass Storage, but then you aren't given the option to mount in the notification tray? I always have to unplug and replug the cable in too fix this.

Is it necessary to keep the rom zip and the root update.zip on your sd card after you have flashed them?
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
I do. Started off that way anyway...then it got to the point where none of my computers recognized my phone any time I plugged it in. I even had my phone replaced thinking it was a bad usb port (since all the usb ports on 3 computers aren't going to be bad)...turned out to be a bad cord. Replaced it with a Rocketfish micro usb from Best Buy and we're good again.

Long story short - could be a bad cable :D
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
The only way I know for sure would be to flash back to stock. I know, a big azz pain. There may be another method, but flashing to stock is the only one I know of.
