Punctuation is a great thing....

Anyway, what I have noticed is increased operation speed, increased battery life, addition of mobileAP, addition of native USB tethering again, and the removal of a ton of unnecessary AT&T apps that I couldnt possibly care less about. There is more, but those are the things that have been a great benefit to me.
[Captivate Android Development] driftking_07:
can i plz get the touchwiz launcher files and the directions where to put them
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Install beta 6.
[Captivate Android Development] j.eaton80:
Sorry about the punctuation was was kinda in a hurry at the time. :-(

I have mobile ap now, and i guess im one of the lucky ones mine is working great. I guess the only things i am wanting to check on is the things i like and use, to make sure they are still on there unchanged like, new samsung keyboard, email i use multiple accounts including hotmail, and bluetooth i have to use a headset in my job so that is kinda a must have for me. Other than that everything else can go like touchwiz, its ok but not my favorite. Thank you again for your help :-)

Need a voodoo fix before I go crazy hahaha
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
It really depends on what features you're expecting. I've found cognition does basically everything I want and more. If you back up your current rom before flashing, you could always go back easily if it isn't for you.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have not had problems with the items you listed but I think the consensus is if a feature is important and necessary, loading Beta ROM's is probably not a good idea. If I were in your shoes, I would stick with 2.1.6 or 2.1.7 personally.
[Captivate Android Development] bamathrasher:
That first line was what had me confused, the rest is straight forward and easy. I was thinking of 2.2 as stock, and figured it would be the same process as trying to flash Cog2.1.2-.6, odin to stock, then root, then install rom manager, then use clockwork to install the .zip.

I can do that, thats easy and ive done it 30 times already. What had me confused was thinking I needed to root 2.2 manually, then try to install cog2.2. Once someone told me to revert to 2.1 and do the standard way, it was cake after that.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
i did and didnt notice anything about that? though there was a window an i just hit ok. lol oops. not like id put my CC through my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Don't forget the third think ODIN!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Glad it worked for you. I rooted 2.2 manually with adb and it was really easy, 2.2Cog isn't liked by my phone, my contacts won't sync with AT&T by any means and if that isn't bad enough, my bottom buttons went all Sybil on me and when I rebooted I got stuck with the AT&T screen and it would go no further, so I just did everything COG 2.2 does manually, it was good to do, good learning how to use adb. Then I started messing around with lockscreens and Framework and soft bricked the phone, I flashed at least 15 to 20 times since friday night.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:

Browers Hang ups?

My Cognition 2.2 Froyo is quite robust and fast, but I've noticed that the browser can have really really really bad lag on some larger web sites, like huffingtonpost.com. It seems to almost act glitchy, when trying to scroll up and down the page and that is with the flash turned off in settings. With flash on, the website is almost un-scrollable. Anyone else experience the same thing? I though Froyo was specifically supposed to make web browsing faster?? Everything else on the phone is silky smooth, even smaller to regular size web sites.

[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I reported it to him earlier, I can't use Cog 2.2 because it does the same thing to me. I had to root and everything else Cog does through adb which worked very well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ice3186:
loop0 error

Hey guys,

There is a way around this and it is really simple. You need to delete all your apps of your sd card. I know i know you didnt put them there, you just ran a TIBU restore and some of them auto load themselves onto the SD card! It happened to me a thousand times, no really i think i flashed my phone like 8 times trying to figure it out. I dug into RyanZA's thread over at the i9000 forum and found the problem there. Either just do a factory reset. reroot your phone, install OCLF or whatever method you want to use, run it, THEN run TIBU to get your apps back.

Enjoy your new 2.2 phone +lagfix

P.s. if you dont already know, do not use TIBU to back up APP DATA or SYSTEM APPS!!!! It will really jack your phone and you'll have to start all over again!

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You cant flashing ANYTHING in stock recovery..
[Captivate Android Development] ice3186:

if you want blackbar, dont know about the battery though. You can use metamorph to get it done, just make sure you only flash the framework-res and twframework-res parts, otherwise it will jack with your phone

How to Update LauncherPro in Beta7

This is probably going to be a dumb question to some but here it goes:

How do you update LauncherPro in Beta7?

Since it has been installed as a system app, Market fails when it tries to update.

How is AOSP compared to COG 2.2 Beta7?
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
i have spent all day trying to install cog beta 7 and it's just not happening. i can flash to stock, root, download rom manager, install clockworkmod recovery, and copy cog beta 7 to my sd card. but when i tap "install rom from sd card", the phone reboots and says this:

i know cognitionv2.2beta7.zip is there, i can see it in windows explorer. i have read multiple step-by-step guides posted on xda and elsewhere over & over, and i can't figure out what i am missing. i am ready to give up and try cog beta 6 with odin. does anyone have a link to it?

UPDATE: i installed it to both the internal & external cards, and it still didn't work. so then i re-downloaded cog beta 7 and tried again, and it worked :o

***EDIT*** ( You will lose your Launcher settings by doing this) ***EDIT***

Install a different launcher app.

Set new app to be default.

Uninstall Launcher (i always FORCE QUIT apps before I uninstall).

Go to market and download latest version.

After install set launcher back to default.

Uninstall secondary launch app you used.

Hope this helps you. :D

I recalibrated my battery and experienced a significant improvement in battery life. ClockWorks did the trick for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
By "Stock" do you mean Eclair (2.1)?

If so, which one...JF6 or JH7?
[Captivate Android Development] makitel:
That's exactly what you need to do. I believe you can not jump to 7. You need to ODIN flash 6, then use CLOCKWORK to flash 7.

That's how I did it when I bricked my phone the other day. :p
[Captivate Android Development] j.eaton80:
Thanks for the advice still kinda like 2.2 so i will probably try beta7 out one more favor i know this has probably been covered somewhere else in here but i am short on time can anyone give me a step by step breakdown on the beta7 install i know how to jailbreak iphones but this is a whole different playing field all together and i dont want to mess it up thanks everyone so much for your help
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
I'm not trying to be short. I just think the OP for that thread can answer your question better than I can.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=810179

In summation, it's an attempt at stock android w/out the luxury of having the source code. I used it for a little while this morning but switched back to cog b/c I prefer the tw lockscreen, the darker notification bar, and the battery w/ percentage. It seemed very snappy, though.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
He is right. You'll need to get to Beta 6 first with ODIN and then use Clockwork to go to Beta7.

If you want to start completely over the steps would be:

1. Flash stock JF6. (Don't root or modify in any way)

2. Flash Cog 2.2 Beta6 with Odin. (Again, no modification required)

3. Use Clockwork to flash Beta7.

Ok so I bought my captivate about 2 days ago (using it on Fido network in Canada).

I'm familiar with rooting and the benefits that come along with it since I was using a 32B Magic for almost a year with so much tinkering..

Since I am new to the captivate ROMs however, I would like to ask a few questions if people don't mind me answering! :)

I've browsed about.. the last 20 pages of this thread. Some posts have implied that to get to cog 2.2 beta 7, I need to flash beta 6 first via ODIN then flash beta 7 via clockwork recovery? (I'm relatively new to ODIN and I'm still scratching my head since with my magic I just flashed flashable zips through Amon_RA recovery). Or can I just flash beta 7 straight from 2.1 JF6 (I assume that it refers to the baseband version) via clockwork recovery? I am also under the impression that no wiping is done for both cog 2.1.6 and 2.2 beta 7

One more question is, I have read the cog wiki, but from your personal experiences, what would be the better version for me? Eclair or Froyo?

Any advice/help is greatly appreciated :) Coming from a 192MB RAM device, captivate is already plenty fast for me
