If you're referring to the AOSP one, Nixxed hasn't updated his CWM flashable packages last time I checked, I'd check back in the 2.2 MOD thread, he'll update it when he makes it compatible with 2.4.

2.4 looking good

Up and running for around an hour on 2.4, and so far, so good. I can't tell on the GPS issues since I'm inside, but no other issues to report for me.

Thanks, DG!

+1 on GPS limitations. I've gotten used to them as well.

Just a quick test using lbstest, see picture, on Cognition v2.4. While the initial lock took over two minutes each successive was a bunch faster. Also I took my phone for a 10 mile ride and both GPS Test and lbstest showed me keeping a lock on 9 of 9 with a consistent accuracy of 16.4 feet. Most SNRs were in the mid thirty range with about 3 or 4 hitting the low forty range. This is better than I got on Cognition 2.3b2.

So ymmv, but the GPS is what the GPS is.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
just tested gps lock.

With google server, control plane mode, secure socket off, ms based.

got 5 locks within 21 secs. 8 locks aftet 37 secs.

Gonna do drive test on my way home later. Will post the result.

im on 2.3b1 atm.

I do not know what made the difference in this Rom but browser speeds on wifi are just out of this world, literally. I did notice when I do a speed test on speed test app that it says about 18mbs down and it used to just be like 4-5 on wifi. Something has been set free and its getting wifi's full potential

So its as fast as my computer now and im blown away. Whatever changed this it must go on all new rom's DG...thanks

Finally the HIGH QUALITY ROM I was so used to, with a beautiful kernel + rom

Does your kernel rival that of Setirons though? He has some jfs lagfix thing, and bln
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
charge your battery to 100%, turn the phone off and charge until it indicates that it's fully charge. Then boot into recovery and choose delete battery stats, it's under advanced IIRC

x2 on google voice. I got the notification and the text within 30 seconds of the voicemail.
[Captivate Android Development] CPeterson:
I don't think the Google voice issues are new to this rom. I've been running 2.2 beta 5.5 for a month now, and my VM notifications have been very inconsistent. I eventually get them, but it's usually a week late, and the Google Voice widget doesn't show them. I didn't get enough messages to bother reflashing before now, but assumed it was just a glitch with restoring something using TiBu. Did you guys set up your voice mail fresh?
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
so does this automatically put the lag fix on the phone when applying the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Just tested gps in my car. Took a minute to lock on but after it locked it stayed that way and worked as it should. 9.1.3 gave me a lock within a few seconds and I was starting to get spoiled.
[Captivate Android Development] DarkVasyaK:
when trying to flash it with Rom Manager, it tells me "failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed"

what is wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Just tested gps a second time outside my home and got a lock in under 10 seconds. All appears well.

Errrm, yes. Voodoo for you.
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
i will try this when I get home from work..

Thanks, so for the future, flashing roms with less then 100% battery will totally but **** the calibration?

The only reasons I ended up in this spot is I find the captivate charges much slower then my x10 did, my x10 could fully charge in under 2 hrs, the captivate seems to need 4-5.

[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
using bluetooth

Bluetooth seems to work well for me - UNFORTUNATELY I can't get voice dial to do anything. In 2.3b2 I was able for the phone to notice the long press of the ear piece, but no help for voice dialing. If anyone has voice dialing working, I would love to hear about it. In every other way things are MUCH improved.

Has nothing to do with the download...whatever rom you are coming from is not compatible with clockwork recovery so you will either have to Odin to stock or wait for the Odin version of beta 4.
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
GV...

I disabled Voodoo, did the flash down to JF6, then flashed 2.4 using CWM. Never had an issue with Google Voice before this.

However, the issue I was having getting into LbsTestMode was fixed by a reinstall of 2.4.

[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Are you downloading straight to your phone or to your computer? The zip posted definitely isn't corrupted as I used it this morning to update my phone.

I'd maybe try downloading the zip from another computer and see if your getting the same issue.

Um... and I'd try reflashing to stock and going from there... could be that you have something on your phone causing the issue as well.

Hows the battery life compared to Doc's? Considering flashing this 2.4 over my Doc's if the battery life gets alittle better. 86% battery usage because of just display alone is kind of silly, especially when my display is at minimum brightness.

Just Installed [ROM]Cognition v2.4

I just installed v 2.4 and looks good so far. I didn't go back to stock last time or this time and it went fine. The only thing with this one is it did not keep all of the settings like the last time did. No biggie but it will take a few minutes to get it all set back up.

Thanks a lot DG! We appreciate you a lot!!:)

For those of you having battery issues, I posted the recalibration method a while back... here it is again with its supporting link:

h t t p ://androidspin.com/2010/11/06/double-your-battery-life-on-htc-droid-incredible-sprint-evo-google-nexus-one-and-possibly-others/

In short:

1) Plug phone in while turned on & charge for 8 hours.

2) Unplug the phone, turn phone off, then plug in and charge for 1 more hour.

3) Unplug phone, then turn phone on and use for ~2 minutes.

4) Plug phone in and charge while on for another hour.

I had great success with this method and seem to recall a couple others found it helpful as well.

Edit: It could be that a clear of battery stats somewhere in this process might help as well. Perhaps run battery down to 0, clear stats, then try the above steps?

Possible Voicemail Fix

My voicemail through Google Voice is working now after I went to the Voice web page (from my computer...not the phone) and deactivated the forwarding option and then deleted and re-added my mobile phone number and then re-activated voicemail forwarding.

[Captivate Android Development] Seraphimos:
I've been reading in this thread about how Quad scores don't mean anything on the Captivate. Well, that's true, if you're comparing scores of different phones with different hardware. However, two different scores on the same phone from two different ROMs can show a correlation in performance in a relative sense, given a margin of error. So don't write off Quad completely.

Sorry, but my GPS has stopped working with this ROM. I tried again this evening and I could not get a lock for 10 minutes (it would be 30 seconds to a minute before) I downloaded GPSTest and I could only see 2 for first minute and then a third one with the strength around 30 - 36

All other Cog ROMS have been good to me so far except this. I am thinking of doing this

Flash to stock using ODIN

Master Reset

Flash Cog v2.3b (Can anyone provide a link please?)

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
Not true. These ROMs have different configurations (Voodoo, OCLF, OC/UV, or any combination of these) which in most cases give extremely bloated scores. If you're lucky, DG won't flame you for posting in his thread about how Quadrant isn't useless.;)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
A friend of mine discovered a potentially dangerous security issue with either the 2.3b3 ROM or Android in general. I am not experienced enough to know with Android/Custom ROMS to know who is responsible here.

If you use Root Explorer and go to /data/system/accounts.db and open accounts, you can see any non-Google email account passwords shown in clear text. The Google account shows as a hashed password which is what the other accounts should show, but do not. Comments please?

As far as I am concerned if the cook of the rom I am using say it doesnt mean anything to his rom then I take his word for it. I figure sense I am using someone elses rom due to not knowing how to make my own, he just might know more then I do about it:D. Case closed.

If you want to keep track of the scores then by all means do so but lets leave the scores out of the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
This is a flaw in android that can only be exploited if you have root access. I can't remember where but I read an article a while back that google is aware of this and working on it, but I have not confirmed this myself, but it is definitely a security flaw with android.
[Captivate Android Development] bsdjunkie:
accounts.db is set to 660. (-rw-rw---- system.system) You need to be in system group or have full root rights to view this data.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I ran it just fo fun . The Quad of this ROM was lower in score but in real time use the ROM is much slicker so I have to say Benchmarks don't mean much, especially when they are not designed for the particular hardware. I think people place too much in synthetic benchmarking. Seeing is believeing,

I have had this ROM for a day and I have not found any bugs yet. With the exception of Voice, Messaging notifiers all work, Email and SMS. GPS worked as well as any ROM (as long as it had a clear view of the sky). Scrolling is MUCH MUCH soother....

Love the launcher but I am hooked on Pro Launcher widgets for FB and Twitter....:( I paid for it anyway, may as well use it)

So far best ROM yet.

[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
We all have root access simply by using the ROM. This concerns me from the article someone else posted here:

"To put this in simpler terms, Android is set up so that apps can't read databases they aren't associated with. But once you provide the tools for applications to run as root, all this changes. Not only can someone with physical access to your phone look at these files and possibly obtain your login credentials, a very nasty piece of malware could be made that does the same thing and sends the data back home. We didn't find any instances of apps like this out in the wild, but be very careful (as always) of the applications you install, and read those application permissions!"

So I interpret that to mean any app you allow Super-User access like ShootMe screenshot can access your email passwords. Pretty severe issue if that is true. Not saying Shootme does that, just using as an example.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
+1 to the voicemail notifications not working for this ROM.

I also think that I tend to agree that the GPS performance is suffering as compared to previous Cog builds. Is there an easy way to get LBSTest back that maybe I am missing? I thought I saw that one or two people had fiddled with it but I haven't been able to find where to load it from.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
I've heard that the landscape home screen doesn't work at all...
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Just create a shortcut with dgquickcut or anycut.

Anyways, GPS its not working with this rom. It's been 10 minutes since I began the position test with LbsTestMode and it founds 9 satellites but never gets a lock.

With JI6, getting a lock was a matter of seconds.

EDIT: now gps its working flawlessly. Got a lock in seconds. Don't know why it didn't work before.

Edit: I have never cleared GPS data in lbstestmode before.

[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
This is why if you are going to root your phone you need to take care and know where your apps are coming from and what they do when they are on your phone

As far as if anyone else gets ahold of your phone you have to consider all the accounts you have synced or associated with your gmail are compromised because the phone is so easily rooted.

This is why linux distros should come with root access enabled and allow you to set up a propper root/admin account and allow you to easily password protect and disable root access when it is not needed.

If you are concerned about security the safest thing you can do is unroot, turn of debugging mode, and turn on lock screen security - this wil help protect against malicious apps and at least slow down someone who has stolen your phone

[Captivate Android Development] bsdjunkie:
I realize we have root by running this rom. But its not a security hole. Rooting a system you should know what risks you are running. By default, Android OS would have protected that info, after having root, the keys to the kingdom are out, and its only ones own fault for opening it.

[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
Installed as instructed on DG's site, running good so far, seems the snappiest build yet. I forgot how much I missed the voodoo voices lol.

Only problem I've noticed so far is a big fat FC when I try to get into Settings/Display. Not a huge deal, seems that auto brightness is on by default anyway, which is how I like it. Just a heads up.

*Edit: Also DG, I really think there should be a more efficient way to report bugs, like a way to submit logcats like they do on CM.
