DG (Design Gears) is a LEGEND, and he needs your support!!!! (Im assuming he is a he and not a she :) )... Edit: As it turns our she is a

she after all. Thanks Valerie :)

So send her some $$$

I dont know her & have never messaged her. But Im farkin impressed with her efforts!

Valerie has obviously worked her ass off to bring us 6 updates on Froyo and to solve hundreds of the things that everyone complains are not working.

While you go and play with your new BETA updates, she is obviously diligently sorting out the next batch of issues. She should be being paid by Samsung, but I suspect she isn't... so maybe we can help.

So...

*** Have YOU donated??!!***

Even if you are a bit broke like I am, you still managed to get yourself a Captivate, so I suspect you can manage to contribute a few $. Even just the cost of a coffee helps.

Go on... you know she deserves it!!! :D:D:p

I have just donated a little and thats how I discovered DG is called Valerie. Thank's babe... you rock!!! :p
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I agree, I donated yesterday. Also, while you are at it, do not forget about donating to XDA as well. They are great for hosting all of this (plus you get a cool little star for each 10 Euros.)
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Yep did that to get in to odin. Then it froze and boom went to where it is at now lol. Now I can't get the computer to see it to use adb. I tried believe me.

[Captivate Android Development] hirorir:
so I'm using the odin flasher for cognition2 BETAV5.5 and it's taking a loooooooong time at the "Install default apk-files, please wait" screen. Is this supposed to happen? The bar's not moving at all.

EDIT: It restarted itself, and now it won't get pass the Samsung Galaxy S screen.

EDIT2: Re-did the same process - worked fine this time. Might've been just my phone crapping out on me.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Yep, thanks to the good members of this board that is what I did when my ROM failed to load and I lost the ability to do the 3 button combo. My point was that none of these options will work in the situation the original poster mentioned in that they were stuck at the phone!computer screen. None of these options will work in that situation and as far as I know.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
someone should help out DG and actually update a wiki for all of the questions that have been asked over and over again...
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
omFg, that was the easiest install ever..
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Lol actually its a he. He said in a prior post that the paypal email was his wifes. I suspect she is Valerie. But regardless of sex, DG its the main reason we have froyo on our devices and defintley deserves some donations!

I am trying to log into my exchange account after upgrading and getting username/password incorrect. I know they are correct. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Well, with the exception the email app not wanting to connect to my work email, everything is going good. Not sure what happened, but the email finally connected, don't ask me how. First things first, the lags are all but gone, no need for the lag fix (sorry RyanZA). GPS...I need to test it some more, took actually a while to lock this morning when I tried it outside but the lock stayed. Will try driving later one, but if its like the last few updates I've installed, it should work. Deffintely the best of the beta's so far. Dying to see what DG can do with the offical release of Froyo. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] donaldkbart:
I'm getting the same on 5.5 but for my yahoo account
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Oh gosh another update. Im just a bit to stoned to know what I am doing, so I dont think I will try this one :D
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Hey just to let you know that the vibration on key press doesn't work using this...Maybe something you can look into and fix...
[Captivate Android Development] howsleyd:
Yeah I think we have a winner here with Beta5.5. My GPS so far has been working great. Using GPS Status, I get 7/7 satellite locks sitting inside my living room and stays locked while driving. Also, very fast as well. No need for lagfix. Thanks DG! Donated!

By the way, are you Irish DG? With all the beer and whiskey we are getting you, you must be buzzed 24/7 and must be Irish (J/K, nothing against Irish people). It's amazing you're able to get put out new versions of Cognition that aren't borked :D
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
just installed beta5 and am trying to move apps to the sd card. so far i am having no luck... are we not able to put apps on the big partion of the internal sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] ProBoner:
Sounds good! Is there an ETA for beta 6? That's likely going to be my next rom if there are no major issues :)

Keep up the good work!

Any chance the drop down bar will be non-super snazzy-fied soon? Not my (or 80% of our) cup of tea!
[Captivate Android Development] VladAtNYC:
Same thing here. When I click on the contacts App the app loads but there are no contacts listed, menu button doesn't do anything. I can navigate to the Groups History and Activities pages and they all seem to work. However if I actually click on a group in the Groups Tabs i get an FC, and if I try to navigate back to the Contacts page I also get an FC (android.process.acore). Furthermore, I have several contact shortcuts on the home screen and when i click on those and go to their Contacts Entry it pulls up just fine, I can edit and those edits are save. I also cannot add anymore contact shortcuts to the Home Screen, everytime I try i get an FC. Oddly enough thought, if I try to assign a speed dial button in the dialer app it does pull up the full list of contacts.

Was working fine yesterday, not sure what changed.
[Captivate Android Development] grapeape66:
Flashed update 3b5.1. Everything seems to work good for me, but when I reboot into recovery from clockwork mod I get stuck at att screen while loading. I cant get into download mode at all, but I managed to get the phone to boot back up by taking the battery out and attempting the three button combo to reset it.. I don't know why it's doing this.. was just trying to reset battery stats, but no can do I guess this time. Deleted my old update.zip and made a new one with rom manager, seemed to make no difference as I repeated the problem a second time.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Just edited two contacts with no fc

Saying things like this you'll ensure that 2.3b5.1 is your least popular ROM yet! I can not wait!
[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
Yeah waking up this morning and seeing the two updates I was like "SANTA?? ALREADY??"

and an that moment i realized i had to change my pants... I did... after I flashed my captivate...
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
gave chance

Not just posting saying slow without giving it a chance. Just my own user experience. Have used all but maybe 2 of the cog roms. So far my favorites have been 8.1 and the newest with voodoo disabled (although i do miss the white/blue color scheme from the vibrant based rom anyway to get this back?)

I always wipe clean and revert to stock before installing new roms. Allow rom to fully boot media scans complete and use for a while before any decision or judgement.

For me for whatever reason the newest rom displayed some of the worst lag i have seen since originally purchasing the phone with stock. Removed the lagfix and it flies with no noticeable lag. Just wanted to put it out there so if anyone else experienced similar results with voodoo they could disable and see if they had better performance.

Not being critical....i love the roms...just haven't found any value in voodoo yet.
[Captivate Android Development] VladAtNYC:
Editing is the the problem, as long as I can get to the contact screen (for example by clicking on the Contacts link from an existing contact shortcut) then I can edit and save. The problem is that when you just click on the Contacts app proper the list does not populate and it FCs.
[Captivate Android Development] KonArtist:
Ok ill flash with rom manager to the newest version. How can I prevent the upgrade from deleting my game saves? I've made it pretty far on bejeweled lol.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
nope...One of the downsides of re flashing every few days LOL I especially hate "joining" FB contacts with Gmail. On the bright side you CAN save your apps and if you sync with AppBrain you can always reinstall them including the purchased ones. I use TiBu and reinstall apps from there. But as far as SYSTEM settings.....Nope you have to do that every time..

A small price to pay for such goodness.....(plus the donations to the developers and the great Applications that make doing this a breeze)

[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
No problems here. I back up all my contacts with gmail don't know if that's why. But not one fc with contacts.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought...

[Captivate Android Development] Duckman_UF:
Been up and running for about 6 hrs and no problems yet. I'm not having any of the issues described above. I did a clean wipe through CWR and did not use TiBu on this one.

One thing I need to research is, "How do I get Handcent to be the default SMS app?"

I keep receiving texts from the stock and Handcent......

Other than this I love the 2.3b4 and up.

Real nice work DG!
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
Back up your apps and their data with Titanium Backup. When restoring make sure to restore apps and data and everything within the app will be as it was before. Angry Birds, for instance: I have never lost my progress despite several flashes.

It is important, however, to not restore system data. This is things like phone settings; it is not usually compatible across ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
VOODOO5 ON COG2.3b5.1

Hi DG,

Love your ROMs!!! :)

But I do have a question. If beta6 is going to have EXT4 (Voodoo5) on all the above partitions, which partitions are currently formatted to EXT4 in Cog2.3b5.1???

Thanks,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] VladAtNYC:
Unless someone knows of a better solution.... Just go into the message app and disable notifications.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I actually had this issue when I finally flashed my wifes phone from 5.5 yesterday. Hit contacts and blank screen. I think it had something to do with the Launchers. Once everything settled in it seems to work fine.

I am using Launcher Pro on both phones. Loving the look of MIMU though.

I am going to hold off until 6 now. These ROMS are coming too fast...lol Everyone costs me a couple hours. Hopefully the official ROM will be released soon....
[Captivate Android Development] Duckman_UF:
Awesome battery life too BTW...
[Captivate Android Development] mmoorman12:
I believe you can use TiBu to freeze the default SMS application.
[Captivate Android Development] Duckman_UF:
Thanks for that, Looks like it worked. I'm new to Handcent and have not had to mess with this before.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
just /data with all previous versions of voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
that all i have been able to figure out so far. Not sure if its launcher related but it doesn't ask if you want to use handcent as default anymore. Previously i would install handcent then the first time you went to sent a message you could choose what to use as default.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
BTW I got 18 hours from the 2.3b4 ROM and had to run BW in CPU hog mode and all on bright to run the battery completely out with 17% left.

This from.......maybe 8 hours on 2.4
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Fixed the email problem. Re-booting did not fix it , but removing the battery did.

Program Manager is the Widget version of Task Manager.

The Program Manager I am running is v1.12 Nov7, 2010 5:11:06 AM

and size is 30.60 KB (31334) (from Super Manager) .

If this is the wrong version, where can I finfd the right version?
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Ahh yeah forgot I never tried with launcher 2 I always install launcher pro and delete the others.

I know it was removed for a reason but I really like the glasslock screen, is there any way to easily add it back? Is it one of the app or lib files like when we had to re-add live wallpapers by chance?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
I agree. I also would like to know.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
This driving me nuts, I had almost the opposite experience. I was getting 18-24 hours on 2.4, now I am getting ~10 hours. I used the same process both times, same apps, same everything. The only thing that is different for me is Launchpro on 2.3 (I can't stand touchwiz)

/me scratches head.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
Android Advice™: No popup prompting default choice shows, how do I make this my default home screen app?

If you want to change your default home app (or any default app), go to Settings Menu » Applications » Manage applications » find the default app and select it » click “Clear defaults” button. The next time you press the Home button you will be prompted which app to use… follow the steps above.

----------------------------------------------------------

tried this but clear defaults is not able to be selected for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
I believe I read here that one can freeze the stock message app through TiBu, leaving only handcent active.

I haven't personally done this, so correct me if I'm wrong....
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
I always freeze the stock messaging app with Tibu. Cuts out any confusion.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
You must find the app that is currently the default. For instance, if you are currently using LauncherPro and you want to switch to TW you would find LauncherPro and clear defaults; you will be prompted to choose a default shortly thereafter.

In 2.3b4 you can not use this method as TW does not show up in manage applications for some reason. You can use Home Manager from the marketplace.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I saw the post about b6 coming soon. I'm so tempted to upgrade now...I"m still on 2.3b2. If only I knew if we were talking a few days or 2-3 weeks. :rolleyes:

[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
The only system data that I have been able to safely restore each time is Bookmarks. Any others?

For doing all the different IM svc in 1 app I have had good luck with Trillian (http://www.trillian.im/)
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
I know i can switch default launchers but not many of the applications. Even when i go to default messaging or email apps the clear default is blanked out and non-selectible.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
Seems like I tried that once, and lost MMS. Just stopping Notifications on the built in messaging works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Does your phone boot up still or only goes to a black screen?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Rule of thumb for me never restore system app

Captivate

Cog 2.3b4
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
The only explanation I know of for the "Clear Defaults" button to be blanked out is because that app is not currently a default for any internal action (for instance, clicking on a URL in an email... this will open in the Default browser). For what it's worth, I can't "Clear Defaults" in my messaging or email apps either.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
You can also install Home Switcher from the market. Works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] hospadam:
It boots fine. I just select "Reboot phone" from that menu, and it restarts properly. I've tried the process several times - and I get the exact result each time.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
Home Switcher doesn't work in 2.2, unfortunately. Home Manager does the trick.

LOL - I play "hop scotch" with DG's Rom's. I usually see the major release then wait for the bx before downloading.

I probably won't re-flash until he has 2.6 b1 released :)
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
It never worked for me and the app listing notes that 2.2 is not supported. It would switch the launcher temporarily but could not change the default. I do apologize if I'm in error, I had no idea it worked for some.

In other news: 2.3b6 is out! Backup/download time!
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
i realized that i have an update.zip file in my internal sd card, do i need to remove it before install the new ROM? it will conflict with something while installing the new ROM., thanks again

You can backup some system settings, especially on similar rom versions (don't try 2.1 settings on a froyo rom). After some playing around you figure out what works for you. You can back up sync settings, but not the actual calendar entries (that results in duplicates).

As for apps and games, there is rarely any problems with that. I am using tibu, and get all the settings and levels back after re-flash

I heard "Step 1", "Step 2", "This may take a while", "Step 1" during the 5 minute boot and then it came up. No FC's and seems very fast.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
My girlfriend had the same issue yesterday on her Bell Galaxy S, however it would not boot up past the "Galaxy S" screen at all. From researching for a few hours that error message seems common with that phone and is attributed to a corrupted/dead internal SD card. Flashing other ROMs resulted in the same thing. She's now in contact with Samsung to get it fixed and from what I was seeing that's the only fix so far.

May not be the same thing you have but I would take a look over in the I9000 section at all the internal SD issues on the Bell phones. You will find those same error codes plenty in there.
