was working on z4mod integration, but voodoo is right around the corner... going to hold out.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Nevermind. Upon re-reading I agree with DG.
[Captivate Android Development] netnerd:
no, i havnt notice any battery drain using reorientated kernal and JG8 hsupa modem if you make sure there is * on wcdma 850, 1900, 2100. and gsm 850/900/1900/2100. then select Automatic.

i been using it for 2 days now. (this kernel and modem on beta7, and beta 8 since yesterday)
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
that being said ... I think I'll hold out too .. beta 7 is working perfectly for me ..

keep doing what your doing the way your doing it DG .. that's what opensource is all about..
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Def want to say thanks again to DG for all the hardwork..

now granted I know that he's running a sweat shop with naked girls doing all the coding for him, but its a dirty job and someone has to do it...

DG quick question, do you have a personal preference with TW or LP? I was very happy to see TW totally removed and just LP on v7, then i saw you went back to TW for v8. so it got me wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
Always from stock, then odin...
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I wanted to say thanks, DG, for everything you've done with this phone. I haven't had it for long but I've been using Cognition v2.2 since Beta 6 and have loved it so far. Sure, Beta 8 had some issues...but you were quick to fix them with 8.1. Plus, I'm smart enough that I could have simply flashed the kernel and modem to my existing Beta 8 when I got home from work, even if you hadn't done so. It wasn't a big deal and I won't whine about it. If I wanted 100% reliability, I would simply keep the stock JH7 ROM and rely on ATT and Samsung tech support to ensure any problems are solved. But...what the hell would be the fun in that?!

Sure, there are some things I haven't liked from one ROM to the next. For instance, I didn't like that TW was added back in or that the TW lock screen went back to being default. You know what I did about it? I downloaded LauncherPro and installed the Stock Lock Screen mod. Why complain about something that's easily fixed? Plus, honestly, it's nice to not have LP installed in the system folder because it made updating a pain. I had to install ADW and make it my default, then remove LP using TiBU, and reinstall from the market. Lol. So...if keeping TW is what has to be done to simplify installing and updating other launchers, so be it. I'm perfectly okay with that.

Personally, I don't care a bit if you experiment. Yes, you may introduce some new issues from time to time...but you're smart enough to learn from your experimentation and fix the issues rather than just shrugging and telling us to deal with it. Personally, what I love about your ROMs versus others I've seen is that you keep them clean. You remove the bloatware and you don't add a whole bunch of apps that we may or may not use. I don't want to download a ROM with a huge list of apps that were added simply because the ROM creator liked them.

Anyway...I'm just rambling...I guess what I'm trying to say is, keep up the good work. :D

Way to go

DG,

I test programs for a living (ah the life of a QC specialist), and if I had 1 programmer that would realize what they did caused more problems than it fixed as quickly s you did with beta8, my job would be SO much easier. I dm currently running 8.1 and it is going great. I did notice one thing, after flashing I had to re-remove my SIM card, power cycle, then reinsert the sim card, power cycle again, before my phone would grab a signal. Probably something I did wrong during the flash, but it is rock solid now. Just wanted to say you are doing great, and I cant wait for the next round of updates so I can play with this all over again. You now have me officially addicted to flashing. Thanks for the leaked froyo, the hard work you put in to the roms, and for ignoring all the *****ing and moaning that goes on when someone downloads a BETA rom and something goes wrong...

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Naked girls ftw!

I actually use Launcher2, the android stock 2.2 launcher, the way google intended it to be :P

I have added a few apps in from time to time, but I have decided not to include any now. Well, except CarHome and lbslauncher, It makes making the Odin versions easier because you can't flash to /data with Odin that I know of. No point in replacing samsung crap with {random dev here}'s crap...

I try to fix issues, like the BT issues with the i9000 kernel, not even the guys who edit the source has figured it out, best to revert and move on. Mail issues, this one is great, everyone relies on the auto setup, all the guys complaining about it failing never try to use the manual mode and enter in their details, solves the problem 9/10 times. Some have 3rd party unsupported authentication methods... not my problem, I can't change your server and sure as hell not buying the 3rd party software license to integrate :)

Then you have the guys freaking out because this BETA software is having issues... Come on guys, give me a break... I am building a BETA rom on pre-release software... I am always testing new stuff, finding new directions to go... I skipped on z4mod, that was going to be in beta8.1, but I am holding out for voodoo because it is easier to deal with on the user level.
[Captivate Android Development] schinelli4:
Can't change default launcher???

Hey guys, I just went to 8.1... for some reason i keep setting the default launcher to LPRO, and yet everytime i hit home, it pops up TW, anyone else noticing this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You should check the little "make this default" on the popup

Have you thought about integrating the universal lagfix kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814228

This looks like a really great project to incorporate.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I think the author of Home Switcher states that it is not compatible with 2.2. At least that is what I read in the description from the market last I checked.
[Captivate Android Development] daandman:
I can't download apps from the market. They start downloading, then just stop. No failure or anything, they just disappear from the taskbar. I tried clearing data in download manager & no luck.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I decided to give your method a try. Thank you for this post! I am on 8.0, have HSUPA, and no network issues! I switched to the JG8 modem and I'm running strong as ever!
[Captivate Android Development] lthomas926:
Walkthrough

Can Someone give me some step by step to get this installed or point me somewhere that has step by step. I see the latest beta 8 is up.

Will I lose all my current apps and pictures and all that ?

Im currently running the 2.2 JI6 leak by designgears and the battery icon mod. And im currently rooted as well.

Also Should I go with 8.0 or 8.1?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Try clearing data cache from stock recovery.

- Turn off phone

- Hold Volume +/- then also hold power button

- Once ATT logo flashes black then back to ATT logo, let power go but keep holding vol +/-

- Should enter recovery. Select delete cache data then reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I am on Beta8.0 and I'm trying to uninstall TWLauncher in TiBU. I get a pop-up that says "Cannot remove system app..Failed to locate the apk file". Does anyone know how I can uninstall TWLauncher?

Cognition is a great Rom.

[Captivate Android Development] daandman:
Success, thanks!

Another problem, my phone has trouble syncing with my Gmail. It seems like it'll do a real sync maybe once or twice a day, and going in there & clicking refresh doesn't really do anything. Sometimes if I get new emails it'll say I have however many unread messages, but it won't actually show them.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
heimdall works well for 8.1, no issues to report
[Captivate Android Development] dowenprs:
I really hope you can work HSUPA into a Cog rom again. Other than the battery drain, version 8 was fantastic! It was amazing how much faster my download and upload speeds were. Trying out the ASOP rom right now, loving it so far! Love your work DG! Really appreciate all you do for us!

Peace

Dan
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Honestly it probably best to just freeze, thus stopping it from loading in background all the time, it so you can thaw when updating your other launcher our doing other things that may cause problems but you can always delete with root explorer

I have not had problems uninstalling system apps with tibu so unsure what problem may be there...do you have paid version? Not sure if that matters...just a thought

[Captivate Android Development] Necronius:
8.1 working well

I did a master clear, ODIN to stock JF6, then used Rom Manager to update to 8.1. So far, everything is working good except for Exchange mail. Still getting an FC on that. Almost feels like a corrupt setting file, as I get the same failure trying to view or add an Exchange account, as I do trying to start the Email app. I'll have to dig around and try to find where those settings are.

Thanks, DG!
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
No....Not the paid version...The freeze thing sounds like a winner..Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] silversleeper:
Well said AvgJoeGeek! And big ups to DG for keeping us busy with these custom ROMs!

I feel that maybe this thread should have some sort of standard format applied to it, where people simply state specific info about their phone and ROM, nothing more. But it's a public forum, that sort of thing never lasts long I suppose.

On a side note, here are some observations of beta8 (not 8.1):

I flashed beta8 on top of beta7 using Odin. I only flashed what was included in the Odin download for beta8 (PDA.tar + PIT.tar).

- No network related issues like everyone else. I was able to slide in my SIM and get onto AT&T network just fine, 3G and all.

- Haven't tested BT, but using the supplied wired earbud headset w/mic I was unable to speak or listen during a phone call.

- UI seems just as snappy as any of the other recent ROMs. No lagfix applied to this one yet.

Onto the benchmarks...

Quadrant Advanced = 971

Linpack = 14.047 MFLOPS

SpeedTest.NET = 1674kbps UP / 1516kbps DOWN

As for battery life, it isn't all that great, but I flashed without a full battery. I haven't had a chance to cycle the battery either. So as of today..

9 hrs since unplugged @ 5% remaining

Have yet to push 8.1 to my device, pretty happy to have HSUPA back.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I have never seen that. What ROM are you using? And how did you install it? You may need to reflash. I never have problems when I flash back to stock, master clear, Factory reset, clear cache and any other clear option available, then flash the ROM I want. I never take the shortcuts. You may want to try that if you don't get an answer.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
DG, I tried to send this as a PM but I guess you've disabled receipt of PMs (not that I blame you!). Anyway, I really love the fact that this ROM is deodexed. It allows for some great customization. Is this something you plan on continuing? I do hope so. :)
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
:D Thanks!

But um.. your going to get a smelly trout for posting the Quadrant score ;)

I had horrible luck the last time I was running the HSUPA modem file - the speed was awesome... but battery life blew and I couldn't make voice calls.

I'll have to get 8.1 a try.. or I will probably wait until Voodoo comes out again so I can almost brick my phone again.... :o
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
I just upgraded to 8.1 and overall I like the "feel" & look of this combo. I have noticed 2 problems: 1) I cannot download from the Market or send sms messages with both WiFi & 3G enabled. 2) I could not tell the email app which address was primary (to send email out). I still like this mix of stuff best and thanks for the work. On a different point, is there a setting on TiBackup to backup email settings of multiple accounts. I use both the std mail pgm and Gmail. I have mail coming in both ways. -Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] daandman:
I'm on 2.2BETA8.1, but I was having this problem on 8.0 & 7 too. I put the ROM on my phone & flashed it through Rom Manager.

I'm trying flashing back to stock & re-installing it now. Is the master clear necessary?
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I would master clear and perform a factory data reset in phone settings just to make sure you have a clean flash.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
New user - Please don't flame

- I applied Cognition 2.2 Beta8.0 yesterday by following instructions under "From 2.1 Eclair" and they worked fine. I have following questions

1) After reading newer messages I want to flash 8.1. What should I do? Do I need to follow instructions for "Method 1 - Odin Flashable ROMs" under "From 2.2 Froyo" in Cognition Wiki, or "Method 2 - Clockwork "? Which is safer? If I do that will I lose all my apps and settings?

2) The zip file for 8.1 does not contain PHONE.tar and CSC.tar. Is that ok?

3) Does 8.0 or 8.1 come prepackaged with any lagfix? Do I need to apply lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] boostedneonsrt4:
I just flashed 8.1 and it works great! Tried out Sheps rom and lost 3g so this fixed it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
1) u can pick any methid u want and it will delete all ur apps and settings so back them up with titanium backup

2) it's ok zip file doesn't contain those files

3) nope u need to do it by youtself read z4mod thread.
[Captivate Android Development] zerocalories:
So..been running COG 2.2 for a bit and have noticed a few things.

1. Unable to send MMS. Getting a server reponse error. Apparently there was a fix to setup a new APN and apply it.

2. When sending a text, I type in a contacts name and it just lists out random numbers and doesn't scroll through my contacts. I have to actually type out the numbers.

3. Battery life is not very good. Tried to reboot into clockworkmod and reset my battery but am unable to boot into clockworkmod...known issue?

Other than that, the new COG has been awesome. Hardly any lag, all apps open fine, and especially liking the new gmail app.
[Captivate Android Development] coretech:
Ditto :D

I'm seeing little quirks that I didn't notice before on the first beta. (Battery seems unconditioned now, some apps from the market hang on install & it's been mentioned before but browsing lags a bit.)
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
You raise a good point. I have been flashing a lot over the past few weeks and have never flashed back to stock first in order to start with a clean slate. In my case, I've gotten lucky in that I've not developed any of the issues that others have had. However, as a result I have not mastered some of the available tools like Odin, a mastery I am coming to view as a must.

My goal here is not just a cool phone with a *****in' OS, but to learn, which is why I spend so much time reading and very little time posting.

My point is that I believe I'll make today the day that I learn how to use Odin, flash back to stock and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Have you tried just using a command shell on the phone itself?

I use:

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

Works like a charm for me.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Odin is VERY easy.

You should master it pretty quickly...
[Captivate Android Development] zerocalories:
Thanks..i'll try that.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Others have been having the same issue with MMS...I haven't tried it since I've been on 2.2 but will today. As for SMS, I've had no issues..contacts work fine.

My battery life has been pretty good. Not quite as good as when I was on 2.1.5, but good nonetheless.

And ROM Manager/ClockworkMod don't work with 2.2 yet.
[Captivate Android Development] zerocalories:
I am creating a new APN as listed in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8459670&postcount=12

And on the contacts issue i'm not sure really what's going on. Basically if I send a text to my wife, I use to be able to just type her name and it would scroll their the numbers and I would choose her mobile. Now when I type her name it just lists digits, that don't have anyhting to do with her mobile.

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
So backing up apps with TiBu while running Cog 2.2 beta shouldn't have any issues restoring after flashing Cog 2.2 beta2, right? Also, I assume I either kernel swap or flash to stock and flash with CWR?
[Captivate Android Development] Matrioux:
OCLF will not work if any applications are installed on the SD card. Go to settings->applications->manage applications->On SD card tab and remove those programs, reset, try OCLF again, then reinstall those programs or restore from backup
[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
Will flashing from 2.2 beta1 to 2.2 beta2 or 2.2 release delete any apps or data? In rom manager as long as you choose not too you should be ok? (TiBU just to be sure as well though) ?
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Has anyone successfuly flashed back to 2.1 from 2.2 with Everything working properly?. I like froyo.. it feels snappier and more fluid but my battery life has not been as good. Im thinking of switching back till a newr version is released
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
just flashed back to JF6 and reflash 2.2b2 - I don't remember installing anything to SD - although its possible, but didn't check before reflashing.. Once battery is charged enough, I'll run OCLF again. Thanks for the heads up on this though.
[Captivate Android Development] rar26:
sorry for being outdated, but does anyone know were i can get cognition for 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
YES. Just flash back to stock JF6 using Odin one click. Run a master clear. Root using one-click root. Flash Cognition 2.2. Restore apps ONLY from TiBu.

Works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
Well, I just spent the last 16 hours not thinking about updates, flashing, etc. I just enjoyed the Captivate with my Cog 2.2BETA and OCLF. Loving it. Yes there are some quirks, and yes the GPS isn't crazy accurate (I don;t care about it so much - i care about speed, smoothness, music, movies and news), but it was nice just to enjoy the phone.

It's thin, feels solid, has a great screen, great sound, and runs well. Loving it.
[Captivate Android Development] WheresWaldo:
Upgrade flash, it's in the market.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I went back to COG 2.16 which is Eclair 2.1 and do not have any problems...While Froyo is nice There were a few issues I couldn't resolve so I will wait till the official release comes out to try again.
[Captivate Android Development] dijitalm:
I WAS having problems, getting an awesome amount of FC's. Had to reflash now everything works fine. Weird though, the issue arose when I installed the XDA app ;\

[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I just installed Beta8 on a fresh captivate. And coming from a Neuxs One, this phone seems to lag a little bit when trying to do a lot of things at once.

Any idea for this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Deodex is staying... :)

Ya, RFS file system sucks... You can add z4mod from my other thread, wait for voodoo or apply OCLF from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
which do you recomend? z4mod, or oclf? since voodoo isn't available?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Hey Gears, have you tried jpm modem? I hadn't tried the ji2 that you had on this but i'm pretty happy now with this i9000 setup.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Battery life.

Just an update. On Beta 8.1 at least for my daily use, battery life shows a real improvement. i started the day on 70%... then download and flash beta 8.1 directly on the phone, some games, calls, xda, music and now after 10 hours im on 30%. Im happy.. really happy with this.
[Captivate Android Development] Mechapanda:
Any chance you could supply the halloween wallpaper that you had in the previous builds? I'd love it back
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Z4mod definitely does a better job of fixing the lag. Imho at least.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I'l give this one a go.

I did OCLF, since it was a bit easier and user friendly.. but I'm going to compare the two.
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
My brother has verizon, so he got a Fasinate. Is there any way to get his phone working as good as DG has ours working with 8.1?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
z4ziggy nice but man i droooooling over the universal lagfix this **** is freakin genius!!!
[Captivate Android Development] angryscientist:
Seems 8.1 has somehow broken exchange calendar sync. I applied via Odin, noticed the issue, factory reset, master cleared, odin back to 2.1, verify calendar is sync'd there (it is), then odin back to 8.1 and calendar is still broken.

Based on this im fairly confident its a legit bug. No errors are reported, sync "looks" successful, however no exchange calendar events appear in the calendar app.

Using another mail app from the market i can verify that it can sync my calendar, so the problem is not with exchange.

Anyone else getting this? Seems not too many corporate users on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Im syncing contacts, mails and calendar directly from exchange. No problems at all on any of the betas, including 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] CmcNsm:

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
DG: I thought you said a lag fix was not needed? I agree that it is. The file access is very slow without it.

And don't slap me with a fish, but if you run Quadrant, you can clearly see the slowness at the file access portion without lag fix. Same thing with real use.

EDIT: I shouldn't say very slow... what I meant was slower.
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
DG

I have made sure your beer fund is topped off. Love your work thanks for all your efforts.

Do have an issue with Exchange e-mails not syncing up, in fact can't get it to do anything, but I can live with that, small price to pay for 8.1.

Again appreciate all your doing to keep us Cappy's happy!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Quadrant is not accurate... its not needed, I simply suggested he could install it for placebo effect :P

Try settings up your settings manually, that has fixed the issue for a lot...
