alright. I always hate pointing out my newbness, but i downloaded the the odin version of cog 8, put it on a folder on my desktop and extracted it. i see the odin exe, pit, and pda file but no phone or csc. is this normal or am i all jacked up?
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I understand to an extent. There are tons of people on here who don't read before they post, and I suppose the answer to my question appeared to be obvious at first. It is partially my fault, too, as I should have thought to check the Reoriented thread before asking my question. It literally took me about ten seconds to find the thread and the answer I needed. Apology accepted. :)
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Heh...I was wondering the same thing. I came back to this thread to see if anyone else asked. :D
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I will start my research prior yo flash but figured I would. Throw this out there.

New kernal vs old kernal. Benifits, potential down falls? On beta 6 with no issues.

Modem, is Bluetooth still an issue?

To those of you who know advice would help. I will now start to waste my work day reading up
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I'm on 2.2 Beta7. After I first loaded it, I went to google market and told it to update all. Titanium Backup downloaded and now is stuck on "Installing". At the time I didnt know that TiBu was installed as a system app and couldnt be updated (same with launcher pro). Its been stuck on "Installing" for days now.

Is there any way to get the market to stop trying to install TiBu? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lol :p
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I installed beta 8 from rom manager and had no data. Wifi worked but my bars were the no smoking sign. I switched to shep's rom and had data for about a minute then it went too, so now I am flashing cde beta 3. It may be my area though as I live in bfe.

update: On CDE I have full bars... flashing back to beta 8 with rom manager.

update update: Have bars and E network now on beta 8 second time flashing it.

Also the pagination dot thing doesnt go away, I thought DG set that to wink out after a few seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
it appears to all be in the pda.tar file. i compared the files to the previous releases and all of the files are there.
[Captivate Android Development] msm903:
while this does look nice, the reoritnatate kernel has no wired headset controls. I will either be flashing the b7 kernel over this or heading back to b7 completely.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yeah, I'm sticking with beta 7 for the headphone controls and nothing major seems to be added with 8, IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
Same here. Is it missing something?

This is enough of a curiosity for me to try Heimdall instead.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Nope. I decided to just go for it and flash using only the PIT and PDA files. It worked like a champ.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I haven't flashed beta 8 yet but I do have the reorienent kernel and I tried flashing JI2 modem after I saw the change log and read DG's comment, for some reason I had no service and the band selection menu sad it was restricted. I flashed back to JPK modern and I have full bars again. I'm in an edge area by the way. Ill most likely be flashing beta 8 soon

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] jwolfburg:
I flashed beta 8 and have good service, however I am in a 3g area.
[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
Flashed beta 8 via rom manager and have no service in a 3g area. Coming from 2.1.6. Flashing again...
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
Thanks for the update. I was havign trouble with Heimdall. I will save that for later.
[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
I'm thinking the same. Cog2.2B7 with z4mod is doing great and I don't see a reason to go to B8..yet
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I'm in an EDGE area and everything is working great.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
alright flashing now !thanks:D
[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
Still no service after a second flash...
[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
I wonder if using the reoriented kernel will correct the rotation issues with the new voodoo 3
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Well last 2 betas 6&7 were "known issues" free. Now we have this beta 8 with problems with headsets, signal, data, email.... Why to move from beta 6 or 7??
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
umm... to test it?
[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
The headset problems are a result of the reoriented i9000 kernel and/or hsupa. Has been an ongoing problem if I'm not mistaken. There might be mic issues with bluetooth too as I'm reasonably sure hsupa has caused those on froyo and eclair all along. The others have been with us, in one shape or another, for some users, all along. If your setup is working, stick with it for sure.

Flash for fun damnit!!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Reoriented kernel was not voodoo supported as of last night. Don't know if anything has changed in the last 7 hours, though.....
[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
Fair enough... was wondering tho since there is a release for the GT i9000 weather it would work. Bares watching I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I know this isn't exactly the right place to post this...but I figured it was relevant considering this beta was just released. I was going to install the Super Circle Battery mod but I noticed B8 doesn't have a "framework-res.apk". It has a framework.jar, twframework.jar, and twframework-res.apk. According to the thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799511), I should just replace the framework-res.apk. Is it because this ROM is deodexed? Does that mean I can't use it? What about the original ones posted in the HTC forum?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I think I'll hold out for Exchange support to be fixed and the Z4Ziggy lagix to be implemented. before I upgrade from my BETA 5.5 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I installed the Super Circle battery mode, just using the APK file. Re-booted and everything fine
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Great. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay, now I get to ask the noob question...

Beta 8 changelog says that HSUPA is enabled with the Vibrant modem, but is that by default, or will we have to apply that piece manually as we did to get HSUPA with Cog 2.1 builds?

It looks like it is built in, but the wording of the changelog has me a little confused.

I am running the Beta3 development ROM right now, and really like it, but I would go to Cog Beta8 if HSUPA works.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Excited about beta 8!

edit: posted homescreens in wrong thread... hehehe... had 2 tabs open to xda
[Captivate Android Development] netnerd:
you have to flash a different hsupa modem! i can only get EDGE on beta8 modem, i flashed JG8 hsupa modem, everything is working great!
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
What calendar widget is that? I have launcher pro plus and the calendar widget in that looks nothing like what you have. I like yours.
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
I presume you can odin the ROM and modem at the same time?
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Pure Grid Calendar

As to Beta 8, flashed and now having some trouble with network as others have suggested.

Didn't do a master clear this time (usually do), going to flash to stock and master clear and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] KewlRobD:
Same problem here. Anyone figure this out yet?
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
2.2 B8 flashed with Odin from 2.2 B7:

1. Titanium BU installed backups without issue.

2. LauncherPro replicating my B7 setup.

3. 3G connection working normally for my location (1.24 down, .121 up)

4. Email receiving and sending normally

5. Phone reception/volume is good

Initial observations::D

Very snappy navigation through home screens. (5 LP screens, all populated)

Applications launch near instantly.

9/11 Satellites locked in < 10sec.

Fastest complete loading of gallery to date.

Love the "Reboot" option.

NOTES: No issues found
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
If fun means: Add issues no my phone. no thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
Is it just my phone, or is bluetooth fried on Beta 8?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
as much as i believe random shutdowns are hardware caused. i was running beta 6, had 2 shutdowns and decided i would keep it for a few weeks. never had another one, and was feeling really good about the phone. installed beta 8 and had another one! starting to wonder if my phone has feelings for a certain rom and get's pissed at me when i change it. tough love?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
Android Feelings

wait wait i seem to remember a cirtian StarTrek ep. where Data made an Android and it had feelings and they got hurt. Then its Neuro pathways fried.....If your Android has feelings watch out lol
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Do I just put the modem.bin in the Phone field in Odin?

I haven't flashed just a modem before...

Also, how do I make sure I have the right HSUPA modem file? I can pull the one from the Cog 2.1xxx HSUPA updates, but those are eclair builds (if that even matters)
[Captivate Android Development] r34p3rex:
You're putting it through a stressful situation! Right as it gets used to its new ROM, you replace it!
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Is there a way to just enable 3 button combo fix? Beta 7 is working perfectly and I just want the 3 button combo fix
[Captivate Android Development] nicolasavru:
The episode is "The Offspring" and Data's daughter was named Lal.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I didnt have data the first time I flashed it so I used rom manager to go to cde beta 3 and then reflashed beta 8 with rom manager from 3 and it is giving me data now.
[Captivate Android Development] makitel:
Reboot

Reboot.

Thank you! :D
[Captivate Android Development] shinji257:
I just finished flashing and I'm going through Titanium Backup right now restoring everything. Ok... I skipped one but it was a mistake. I'll go back and do a restore on it after that. There is only one issue that I see.

For the Android Keyboard vibration feedback doesn't work. I know vibration works in general though because I enabled haptatic feedback and it works there.

For the Samsung Keyboard vibration feedback works but it is extremely weak.

I have not checked anything else so I couldn't comment on those. Kudos on the background.

P.S. - Is there supposed to be an option for application sources?
[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
With beta8 going to i9000, do I change clockwork recovery to i9000 from captivate S?
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
Beta 8 ftw

I think the volume is set louder on Beta 8 than beta 7. If HSPA works later tonight when I drive to "the big city" (for work) there will be no reason for me to flash again for a long time. Awesome work DG.
[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
I used CW to flash 2.1.7, then 2.2 Beta 8 and everything is working now.
[Captivate Android Development] sleither:
That's not strictly true anymore. The Rogers/Canadian variant is starting to make it's way into the wild ahead of the much delayed release coming next week. This model is tagged as i896 by Samsung Canada, but I have no idea yet what hardware or software changes there are on it.

From the few posts I've found about ones that have slipped out before release it seems to be running UXJH4 for firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] CmcNsm:
Can we still add the Z4mod on top of beta8 ?
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Hey DG,

You used to have a link to all the 2.2 apks you removed from the stock ROM. Do you still have those out there somewhere?

Thanks,

Used ROM Manager to install Beta 8, data not working and overall cell reception horrible. Went back to beta 7 till it's fixed.

Also, anyone else have bluetooth issue pairing to BMW in Beta 7? My contacts will start to transfer then stop and then connection drops to car. BT worked correctly when I had stock ROM on it. Can pair to headsets and headphones but would prefer to use the built in bt of my BMW
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Yeah, I'm getting that on Beta6. Same type of machine (Windows 7 x64). Not sure if it should work.

Edit:

My guess right now is it might have an issue with the Device ID, but I didn't know to grab it before flashing, so I don't have a way to test it.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I havent tried the bt in my bmw, but it works well in my bugatti... *rolls eyes*
[Captivate Android Development] Aerimus:
Why get rid of Allshare? I use it daily for dlna streaming from my computer... It's full of win! Unless there's something better out there that does the same thing, if there is, by all means, do share :-)

LOL! :D 10 char..
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Woohoo! I can't wait to get home from work and flash this. I could do it without connecting to my PC using root explorer and CWM but since this is a new kernel flash I will wait until I get home so I can save everything to my PC backup and do a clean flash by doing a master clear so there is less chance of problems later. Ooh and deodexed so I can use Reefer's awesome theme. I will go check his theme thread. Nice work DG more beer and whiskey $ coming your way.

Samsung Captivate MobileAP Not Working on v2.1.7

Hey Folks,

Just wanted some advice. Installed v.2.1.7 Eclair on my NEW AT&T Samsung Captivate using ROM Manager. When I go into the Settings, Wireless and Network, Mobile AP Settings..I have a blank screen. Nothing going on. Could someone please advise what the issue may be or assist?

Thanks for the great work! Love it!:)

I went back a few steps by trying just the JI6 2.2 without cognition and got the same problem. I then tried the stock JH6 and it finally worked. Perhaps the problem doesn't lie in cognition. :confused:

Sorry for this stupid question: if I install Cognition v2.2 BETA8 on my already rooted and lagged fixed Froyo Captivate, will it erase all of my data?
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
yup. it won't blank your sdcard though. just do a titanium backup before you install beta8. after that is done, just restore your apps (not data).
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Had to go back to b6 (works best for me). Bluetooth in my car and wireless headset did not work, for voice calls. Streamed audio (music) no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] AtariBorn:
Just so you guys know, UOT Kitchen files DO NOT work with Beta8! Lots of FCs.

Also, using the stock lock screen mods will remove the reboot option in the power menu.

Just thought I'd save someone a nand restore.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes as far as I know Bluetooth is spotty at best when using any HSUPA enabled kernels...

Where can I find a link to dl beta 6? I have been told it was on the cognition website but I don't see any links for previous betas.

Well I made a boo boo, I installed the z4mod as soon as i flashed beta8 and my market dissappeared. How would i go about reinstalling the market to the phone? Any suggestions will help.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
i'd try reflashing. be sure to do a master clear first in odin and go back to jf6 firmware then start your flash process again. sounds like something got messed up in the flash.
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
On the change log, HSUPA Support w/Vibrant JI2 Modem (best for battery life so far).

Does that mean it is pre-installed or it is supported? If not, does anyone know where I can't download the Vibrant JI2 Modem, I found some but not sure if it would work.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I just loaded the new Voodoo for Froyo on top of beta 6. So far it's working perfectly. In fact my Quadrant score is ... ouch! Stop that! Someone's beating me with a fish!

I'll flash beta 8 later today and try that as well.

Edit: Oops! Spoke too soon. I'm having auto-rotate issues.
[Captivate Android Development] torred:
I didn't see it anywhere so I'll ask.

Can I use ODIN to go from 5.5 to 8?

And when I open odin for Beta 8 it only has PIT.pit and PDA.tar

and it should have:

* PIT.pit

* PDA.tar

* PHONE.tar

* CSC.tar
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I missed this. Do you have a link. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
copy the link.. paste into browser.. change 8 to 7 or 6 or 5.5 or whatever version you want.

Can anyone get the Launcher Pro update to install? I deleted it off of my phone and I'm trying to install it from TWiz.. and it just stalls at download completion.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I have had that issue on B7 and B8 with both the Launcher Pro Update and Google Voice update.
[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
I had some issues with that too... Retry.. clear cache. I have found that when I download an app, and click on the actual download bar so it appears directly on top of the app, it will usually download and start installing.

I believe I also had tried installing zeam and making it the default launcher, reboot, and then install LauncherPro, use Home switcher to make LP again the default and wipe zeam.

Went from Beta 6 to Beta 8

Odin back to stock, master clear, Odin to Beta 8

Holy freaking fast. No major problems to report, nice work DG.
[Captivate Android Development] kakwvu:
Just got it fixed. I had run a restore in TiBu and it pulled LP as well. I uninstalled it and tried updating..but it wouldn't go. Ran ROM Manager again and it worked from a fresh update. Irritating that the update is that particular.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
this phone pisses me off way to much. random shutdowns, only sends/receives MMS when it feels like it..

EDIT: Make sure you change the image size if you're shooting pictures with the phone. I resized to 640x480 and they will send. duh.

[Captivate Android Development] andoh:
I'm sorry to hear about those issues, perhaps your copy of the phone is defective and is in need of a return?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I flashed beta 8 through odin and I have great service my bars are full on 3g

My only minor complaint is that I still can't use the phone for my car speakers I guess I can deal with it though because this rom is awesome might be my favorite so far

Also I did read that this kernel Has 2e recovery correct? so we can use clockwork to make it back up?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
too bad i traded an iphone for it, and didnt actually purchase from AT&T!
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
Thanks for the reply. It wasn't the 2.1 bloat ware...it was some of the stock 2.2 apks that were removed but he put the apks out to be downloaded/installed individually.
[Captivate Android Development] echonc:
Dude definitely return it, if not within 30 days call att android warranty department and tell them what your specific problems are. Tell them you took it to an att store and they performed a factory reset and replaced your battery, and the problems still occur. Then ask for a exchange under warranty. I did this and 2 days later got my new captivate in the mail, no problems like I used to have.

JI2 modem

Can someone test b8 by driving around with your phone to see if JI2 modem handles well your connection when its switching towers? I've had some issues such as soft reboots with reoriented kernel and JI2 modem while moving (walking/driving).

Any update would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Hey guys, looks like I got mixed up about which modem to use, the other one I was testing is better on battery. The JI2 from the vibrant enables 3G speed unlocked on Tmobile tho ;)

Is that thru BT, or jack? Sorry, dont have a suggestion either way...but I dont want to flash if I lose the audio out. Thats too important for me
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
I've been goign through the last several pages, but I still don't know the easiest way to upgrade my BETA5 phone to BETA8, or how. Can I keep all the data from my apps, contacts, etc., or will it all be wiped out? It's not that big of a deal, but it would be nice if I could avoid it.

And what lagfix should I use? I don't have one installed now, but I figured I should install one when I update. And does anyone else have really sensitive auto-rotation? It's kind of annoying...
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
whats the point in posting that in here then?
[Captivate Android Development] pezx44:
Try going to Messaging-->Settings-->Message Centre

If there isn't a number there, I think you need to add a number that is specific to your carrier. If the correct number is already there, try going to your APN settings and make sure they are correct for your MMS settings.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
bummer... what kind of battery life increase are you talking?
[Captivate Android Development] KewlRobD:
Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work for me. I flashed back to the JF6 stock ROM and still have the same issue. This is now a huge problem for me. My phone might as well be bricked. If any one can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
