Whats up with the CW Recovery on this ROM..can ROM Manager be used as it installs the old version....
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
are you in download mode?

[Captivate Android Development] DarkRS:
Hi,

What i do was quite simple. make sure you have the clockmod recovery update on your internal sdcard. Place the Cog 5.5.zip in the internal sdcard as well.

Cognition 2.2

Things you'll need:

JF6 kernel

ODIN standalone version (NOT the one-click downloader)

http://cognition.theidiotshideout.net/mw/index.php?title=Main_Page

Use the Odin to flash stock kernel which is the JF6.. place it with the Odin PDA thing, uncheck the auto reboot..

plug out the usb when its done. reboot to recovery reinstall the update.zip(clockworkmodrecovery) and after that it will restart. it will still go back to the same screen choose the reinstall again.. it will go straight to the clockworkmod recovery, and there you can navigate to choose install the cog 5.5.zip in your folder.

cheers mate..

Wrong thread!

Backup your Framework-res.apk to your pc.

Get Root Explorer from the Market, click on the package you want to download. It will download to your phone. In Root Explorer, go to the downloads folder, rename the Framework you downloaded to read Framework-res.apk then copy and paste it in the folder system/framework, choose replace exsisting and profit.

Three suggestions.

1. Stock Android Keyboard. (Apparently this is already intended in the next version, good). Not everyone likes Swype and there is no way the Samsung keyboard is better than the Android keyboard... Had to side load this. (Thankfully this ROM allows side loading which is A+, wasn't as big of deal as it could have been).

2. RyanZa's Lag Fix. (or some other lag fix). Cog 5.5 is still not as fast as my Eclair with lag fix, so I do think a Lag Fix needs to be default. Seriously, the only word to describe going from Eclair+Lag Fix to Cog 5.5 Froyo... is "Laggy".

3. Keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
FR, you a plethora of succinct information. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
1. Yep

2. Any empirical evidence of this? What exactly you "feel' is better. Also you want to test 5.5 with and without lagfix to be able to determine if a lag fix helps or not.

3. indeed

Google Maps Live Wallpaper

Is anyone else missing the Google Maps live wallpaper? It's been a while since I used it, but I thought it was just included with Google Maps, and it hasn't been in my live wallpapers list since at least Cog 2.2 beta 1.
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
On Beta 5.5 I still have the "remote SIM mode activated" thing going on. When I turn off bluetooth, I have to turn it back on and back off again.

I also notice a definite increase in battery drain while on standby. On previous Froyo Cog Betas the battery would scarcely move while in standby, and even with the display on it wasn't bad. Now it climbs down pretty steadily in standby, and drops a point anytime I turn the screen on. Not bad, just a noticeable drain compared to before. Maybe it's the included weather app that I've widgeted to the home screen.
[Captivate Android Development] mastergflash:
5.5 Beta Wallpaper

I like the wallpaper in 5.5-beta. Is it possible to get an image for that or could someone possibly point me to where I could pull it from in the files(if that is even possible)? I just want to be able to switch back to it if I want after changing my wallpaper.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
This describes my situation almost exactly. I'm definitely getting a noticeably faster battery-drain on 5.5, nearly 10% an hour with light use. I'm also still getting the "remote sim" issue. I am planning to re-flash when I get home from work tonight to see if I get better battery results.

Device ID re-generation

Hail to DG!

Thanks for making it possible for the common man to have uncommon performance from their SamDroids!

OK I ADMIT I’M a NOOB. Rather than clog up the wiki with questions about a problem after the fact, I thot I’d offer a brief on what’s been done, what I plan to do, invite comments on techniques, and ask for help with device ID.

From stock 2.1 Éclair on a rooted ATT Captivate, to Cognition 2.2b8.1 (right when it came out) by installing the new update.zip onto the sd card. I next flashed to 2.3b3 by flashing onto the device with CW RM.

The recommended steps were performed both times, including:

Back-up with TiBu Pro.

Flash CW Mod.

Phone fully charged.

Selected the desired rom (with CW RM on the second go)and let it happen.

I’ve had no real difficulties, except I knew something was not kosher in Denmark when the market didn’t see the six or eight apps I had downloaded. With further reading I learned about the hitch with the device ID re-generation.

Since I did not have a large volume of apps, I didn’t give it much thought, I just downloaded again, and it seemed to be no problem. Seems billing is keyed off my google account, so I’ve had no problems with 2x billing, just the minor inconvenience of hand picking my apps to re-install. Since I don’t have many apps, space is no issue and no apps have been put on the external card yet. Hence the apps2sd thing was not an issue.

Meantime I have installed the Android Device ID app, and I have a device ID in hand. Is there a way to tell if this is the ID I’m supposed to have? Could this be the common ID we all shared for a while??

So now-> what to do to fix my device id issue once and for all?

I’m itching to flash 2.3b6 as follows: 1. TiBu back-up 2. Nandroid Back-up 3. d/l rom 2.3b6 to internal sd card 4. disable-lagfix 5. Flash CW mod 6. Fully charge 7. Flash new ROM 8. TiBu restore 9. Nandroid restore

Not sure where I’ll land with the market, device ID etc. I’m hoping a kind expert (or many) on the forum will consider this trail of “bread crumbs” as I’m in a bit of a quandary as to how to get to the final answer about my true device ID.

I appreciate anyone who cares to chime in here. If I need “moderation” please advise. Thanks to all who contribute. I’m really enjoying learning from the dimensions explored among the participants.

Thanks in advance for your brain power!!

I know people on here get their panties caught in a bunch when someone mentions the gps, but it's seriously been crappy for me ever since 9.1.3. I've done quite a few tweaks, but to no avail. Everything else works perfectly except for a few FC with chrome.
[Captivate Android Development] markpaiz:
Honestly I had the same issues until I went to froyo, a lot better now. 2.3b6
[Captivate Android Development] patrickdo:
same here.. 2.2b913 had good gps for me, then seemed like almost every subsequent version had bad gps. 2.3b4 with jupiterv006 has been good as well; funny how this particular one worked..
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
No, the yahoo app is not that good. But you get imap and push email and it works both on 3g and wifi, so for now it'll do.

Sorry I can't help you with voodoo. It worked for me... If everything works fine and fast, then maybe you still have it as ext4 or maybe an older ext2 fs?

sscreen brightness

I tried to ask this on the general q&a forum but nobody could reply. I don't know if the issue is specific for this rom or if it's a general (maybe hardware) aspect.

To improve battery life, I tried to reduce the brightness to less than the minimum (8%) allowed in the settings by using a couple of apps from the market. Problem is, while the app will let me go below 8% (even down to 0), the brightness does not reduce at all: the display stays at the same level. Higher settings will increase the brightness, so the apps work fine. Did you ever see any settings file or phone code that I could use to modify it?

My apologies if this is a non-cog specific question. This is my first android phone and I did not last much on the stock rom, so I don't really know what is "normal"...
[Captivate Android Development] mvitachi:
Thanks. I like the it.

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Ok folks everyone is going to geto get p i s s e d at me for saying this but enough with talk about gps. If you mention gps in your post it prompts others to post about gps as well and it just adds more clutter to the post, as Dr Bogger also pointed out, causing folks to scroll through more crap posts to find answeres to there questions and issues.

So please refrain from posting about gps or even mentioning it in your post about the the new roms.

THIS THREAD IS FOR GETTING HELP WITH ISSUES WITH COGNITION ROM 2.3B6 AND NOT FOR ISSUES WITH GPS WHICH IS OUT OF DGS HANDS. WE KNOW THERE IS A GPS ISSUE AND IT WON'T GET FIXED TILL SAMSUNG/ATT FIX IT.

So again please refrain from flaming me but this was mentioned before to refrain from posting gps issues. Goto the gps thread elsewhere on the forum to ***** about the gps or offer solutions but lets not clutter up this thread with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Why can't we say GPS works in a rom when it didn't work before? It makes no sense.

Can we talk about battery life in relation to a ROM? Apps in relation to a ROM? Bluetooth? Quadrant scores? Wifi?

It makes no sense at all.

The GPS has worked fairly well in the last 2 roms with ZERO tweaks...that is noteworthy.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Dude stop being a kid. GPS issue is out of DG's hands he can't make it any better. Why it may work better from rom to rom for some folks who knows. Its not an end all fix. If it works for you in one rom and you move on to another version of that rom and it breaks it could very well not be the rom but just as everyone says the gps degrading over time. Talking about it clutters up the forums. The other issues you mentioned could very well be dealt with by DG. Quadrant is not an issue and as with gps is also frowned upon for being mentioned in here.

So case in point you mentioned in your post that gps is working fine for you and then 2 other people chime and and say the same then a 4th post comes in after those 3 posts with an issue say with apps fc'ing that it related to the rom and then 2 more gps rants come in. That post about the fc'ing issue can very well get lost between the gps rants/praises that really can't be solved by DG. Thus having the op of the post to repost again.

That's all I am saying. Granted with this reply and yours and my initial post it is also taking away from the real issues. People need to open there minds and realize there is nothing that DG can do to fix the gps issues. It has to come from Samsung/ATT.
[Captivate Android Development] betadan:
I have noticed over the last few days that my phone will randomly shut down. This is taking place in less then an hour after a full charge with wifi and 2/3g disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
There is obviously something to the ROM and GPS. The last two ROM's have made my GPS work like it has never worked before and I tried every single fix on the forum. Other people have also posted their GPS is working better on the last 2 ROM's...again, THAT IS NOTEWORTHY.

Something DG did in regards to the last 2 ROM's has made the GPS issues go away for a # of people. If DG, or someone else, can see a pattern w/ certain programs, kernels or something else in regards to good-GPS ROM's (where GPS works) and bad-GPS ROM's...that would be great for the Wiki as well.

For example, if I was a newb and going to try DL'ing a new ROM and I found a list of 6 recent ROM's...each had a generic quadrant score, list of features and other information including the quality of BT, GPS, battery-life or other issues...said newb could pick the best ROM for him/her.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Wow! This is my first ClockWorkMod ROM change. I did 2.3b6 over top of ODIN-installed 2.3b4 and got a bunch of Forced Closes at boot. So I did the same ClockWorkMod routine over again, just the same but without checking backup ROM, (I had checked both backup and wipe before,) everything works great!

I am really impressed!

GPS seems to be much better though it seems to be guessing more often... like when it says to turn left on a coming turn, it shows me continuing on straight even though I have turned left like it asked.... So, in some ways better but in some ways curious. To be fair... I have an impression GPS is much better, but I have not tested it in real-world scenario yet.

Way to go dev!

I am a noob but I will figure out how to donate money...

Isn't that a hoot! It is easier for a noob to flash this ROM than to figure out how to donate! Ha. Now that is saying something!

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Fine believe what you want. But its still not providing any help to those that have issues other then gps. I could hazard a guess that DG is not even doing anything related to gps in his builds. He is probably just leaving that **** alone and you just got lucky.

All I am saying is and you seem to just want to disagree with me for the sake of disagreeing with me is that "MY GPS WORKS on said rom" is only prompting other folks to chime in with positive or negative repsonses about gps and it takes away from the real issues dg needs to attend to. He just like the others has to go through countless non issue posts that is beyond his control to find the posts with real issues (not that gps is not a real issue but again as its been stated not controlable by the rom but by samsung/att)
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
GPS ... Skip this part if you like

And your compolaining about those that mention GPS clutters it up just as much. Many of us do care about how GPS works.

While I believe nothing is being done specifically GPS related; and I also believe it is hit and miss; I also believe just based on experience with GPS that something in the load affects it somehow.

I can go back to an older rom and it gets obviously worse. This ROM is the best I have experienced, and I have about 500 miles on it. I keep it on all the time just waiting for it to screw up, and it doesn't.

There is one caveat to that: MyTracks does not necessarilly show me driving in the center of the road, sometimes off the road. But the important thing, having the navigation app keep me on the road I am driving is working flawlessly.

Voodoo

I have to go back a few pages to look, as I think my coming in to the forum and having to quit before all posts read, but i haven't seen any comments about the Voodoo issues I am having.

That is, I put a disable-lagfix in the Voodoo folder, and when I reboot it is gone. The suggestion for creating a nandroid backup that actually works is to disable lagfix. (Well, one person suggested that).

So here are my 3 questions:

So, is anyone having success disabling lagfix on this ROM?

Has anyone successfully made a nandroid backup of it and restored?

My expectation is that a nandroid backup of it and restore would bring me back to exactly how it was, including installed apps, settings, etc. Is that an invalid expectation?
[Captivate Android Development] notquiteanewbie:
This is the first ROM I've ever installed on any Android phone. I have to say my Captivate is running awesome and is now meeting my expectations back when I bought the phone on day 1.

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Don't bother with a Nandroid back up either. It won't get you a working phone if you need it. (MAYBE if you can disable-Lagfix before the back up you may have a chance though)

I still am thinking one should make a Nandroid of the NEW ROM and maybe that will work .....I was stuck without a phone for 1/2 a day becasue I borked my phone and no way to reflash it away from a PC.

COULD have reflashed on another computer if this phone could act as a normal USB stick and not need drivers to be recognized on any PC

Samsung is iPhoneish in that regard. Need the original PC or have to download and install drivers. I have since done so on the computers at work.

HOPEFULLY HTC or Moto (Nokia is dead) will come out with a similar phone next go round. Samsung seems to be more about TVs, Washing Machines aand refrigerators than mobile phones. They are half assed in the US with Kies support and updates.
