Ugh, hope you're not in a movie theater texting. There's nothing more annoying than trying to get involved in a movie and then suddenly there's someone whipping out a spotlight a couple rows in front of you. Even if the screen is dimmed it's still an annoyance to everyone else around you.

But I'm sure you were actually just on the couch being forced to watch a lame movie with your girl.... right??
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
So have anyone has any success in flashing beta9 using CWM ?

Is Odin the only way?
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
It makes sense, trust me. If you flashed back to stock and want to root and flash clockwork mod, you have a chance of bricking. Having the three button enabled at all times is important. DG's rom's include the three button fix, but most don't. If you were going to try another rom, you would want to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yes, and thanks for that, C3P0LOL. I saw that thread and have already downloaded the files and stored them for possible use. I'll definitely try that first if I feel the need to go back to 2.1, and only use odin one-click as a last resort.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So let's see...did I ask you to read 500 pages? First post, click on FAQ check the benchmark showing your score is right on target...less that 5 minutes to do that so if you couldnt do it in 12 hours...mmmm...maybe you need to work on reading skills ;)

We are helpful around here but we also appreciate it when people is not plain lazy. :rolleyes:

Back on topic, Beta 9 and it is VERY interesting....time for me to go back to Cognition...been too long on this Rom and that makes me feel OLD :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Great. This is basically the Odin one click, but takes just a few more clicks. You won't need to use the one click if you have these files.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yes, if I were going to be using the phone with the stock ROM it would make sense, but like I said, I would only go back to stock to then immediately update and unless I could be convinced that flashing the 3-button fix was safer than the upgrade to froyo I was about to do. Otherwise, I don't see the point.

Your 2.1 ROM with the fix already in is another matter. That makes perfect sense because I would be avoiding ever being without the 3-button combo.
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Yup that was my point. Sorry from deviating from original post.

2.1.6 cog to 2.2b9 voodoo disable ?

Quick question, I know when using CWM i need to disable voodoo first. Since im going to 2.2B9, and there is no robo voice, once im booted into 2.2, do i then need to remove "disable-lagfix" and reboot to actually get voodoo working?

I just want to make sure everything is lined up before i flash since im at work and have the file preloaded on the phone, if i screw up, im stuck until i get home, lol

Flashing Beta 9 now cant wait to try it out.

One request is to include the all share program.

I am unable to find anythign like it ont he marketplace

and find it very valuable.

Thanks DG

Wasn't DG fighting the need of a lagfix a week ago?

Any real world performance to report from those who have flashed

Exactly. It was a couch movie :-) even if the movie sucks I'm not that rude in a theatre.
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
Just did it using CWM and no problems at all....
[Captivate Android Development] thehavock18:
I have yet to flash back to stock. I normally just do a Tibu of everything before a flash then just wipe the data / cache and install the new rom. I have yet to have any problem at all. They Key being when I do a TiBu restore I don't restore system just apps and app data.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Same here. I do not have a PC so I can not use Odin unless I really need to. I have never had an issue as long as I avoid systems information.

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Same here regarding just restoring apps and data. I'm not at all convinced going back to stock offers any advantage over just flashing with odin. It may, I just haven't seen hard evidence.
[Captivate Android Development] sjroberts98:
Have a similar question, I'm on 2.2B7 but the old Voodoo folder is still on my phone from 2.1.7 (with disable-lagfix inside). Can I just delete the voodoo folder before going to 2.2B9?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
So if beta9 has Voodoo running on it, is there a need to keep the one click lag fix?
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
there was never any need.

so in short, no. you will not use OCLF.
[Captivate Android Development] polo1000rr:
Beta 9 wouldn't falsh through clockwork for me. Tried everything I know to. Went back to 7 and it worked great. I have never flashed anything using Odin so I have been doing a search to find out how to. Anyone have a quick link handy? I have only used to one click oden 3 to flash back to stock. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Since there was never a need I assume you will be disabling voodoo? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] snieves:
1. Download and extract to your desktop

2. Go into download mode, i usually just open terminal and write SU [enter] reboot download [enter]. The button combo doesnt work on my cappy.

3. Open Odin.exe

4. Select PIT and attach the PIT file (in the downloaded file)

5. Select PDA and attach the PDA file (in the downloaded file)

6. Connect your phone to the PC (in download mode) and click Start...

Thats it :)
[Captivate Android Development] vafifty4:
I have a quick question, just above the change log, everyone having the same Android id is listed as a bug. I clicked on the link and read a little about what that is and am now wondering what that really means as far as how big of an issue it is? Does it make any usable difference? I remember seeing that as being a bug for b8.1 too.
[Captivate Android Development] polo1000rr:
Easy enough! Thanks ill try it now!
[Captivate Android Development] citrit:
I wish people would stop saying this, I use Touchdown Exchange because the native client does not support replies and it also locks my entire device (Our IT department loves to bother us). So I choose to use Touchdown and it is very heavy on the read write. Performance is terrible without one of the lagfixes. So while it is ok to say it is not needed for most stock apps, it is definitely needed for heavy read/write apps.

Whew, glad I got that off my chest...
[Captivate Android Development] snieves:
remember you need root to get into download that way

good luck

Dg I am wondering the same thing I love the aosp rom.
[Captivate Android Development] SWINGR:
Laziness, no. Unknowing, yes, I will admit it. I have Voodoo from the old SRE, but dont know its current status on my phone, dis-abled or not. So really I didn't know what category I fell into at the bottom of the FAQ. The last section is VooDoo FroYo ~1400-1600 so I thought that maybe I fell into that category, but wasn't sure. But no, I guess not. I'm sorry I don't know as much about these phones as you. I'm sorry for asking a question I truly did not know the answer to, or where to find it. But I get it, you are edgy and cool and like to pump yourself up. On the internet.

BTW, DL'ing B9 right now. I'll report back later.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
So, I had originally dl'd the Beta9.zip and was going to CWM my way in, but after reading about the problems others were having with that method I came the Odin way. Couldn't have been easier. Very nice work as always, DG!
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
The same ID issue mainly affects Storm8 games, and some other apps that use it for validation or somesuch. It's easy enough to change it back. Here is my reply to another person who asked about it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8790628&postcount=5319

Possibly true, but I don't use Touchdown. However, with the latest beta of Cog 2.2, Voodoo blows away OCLF IMO, and that is why I think that other person responded by saying it's not needed.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
CWM b9 didn't work for me.. so I used odin to flash b9.

All I can say is... fast!!

So far, no problems. Flashed to stock, master flash, formatted internal sd, and then b9 odin. On win7 x64 machine, ran all odin as administrator.

Good job DG! Beer money going your way soon! :D
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
The reorient voodoo kernel does indeed work with cde aosp.....was running it and it was smooth but got bored so I switched this morning to t retry tay's rom

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You are being a jerk now and that is why you are getting the reply your deserve.

I didnt know crap about this phone just a short time ago but I read, and read and kept reading more. I still dont know a lot but I know enough to read and when it comes to Quadrant scores, you can hardly go a few pages without seeing it mentioned and follow up replies about how useless it is so dont give me the I did my job line because nobody is going to buy that one.

You got your answer now so whatever mate, I dont need the internet to pump myself up, I have a real life...do you? ;)

Sorry DG...I am moving on...will report on Beta 9 after I try to add HSUPA somehow. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Zeffir:
I feel all giddy. I just flashed my Captivate with Cog and I was amazed at how awesome it is and the colored settings look so gorgeous. It almost feels as if I have an entire new phone. Thanks to all who worked on this ROM. :)

CWM in reboot loop after Beta9...can't get odin to work

I tried flashing with CWM to Beta9, but get caught in a loop that keeps rebooting to ROM Manager.

I've never used odin, but I'd like to give it a try. I downloaded the odin version of Beta9 to my Win7-64 laptop, but when I unzip it, I get errors about the files being corrupted and odin.exe won't open (error about not being a valid win32 app). I re-downloaded the zip file but get same result.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Resolved. Apparently it had something to do with my extraction software. I tried with the built-in windows extraction tool and all is well. Updating with odin right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Matrioux:
Flashed Beta 9 via Odin, and it seems to be working well. The only issue I am seeing right now is that it appears that Voodoo isn't fixing the lag with touchdown. Judging from how long it is taking to sync contacts and calendar, I may have to disable Voodoo and go back to OCLF. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Cleanest way to do it is to flash back to stock and perform a wipe.

in all honesty though, i have never had any problems flashing straight from my current rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I concur going to stock 2.1, then flashing. It just seems to have a cleaner more controlled environment especially when playing with beta software.
[Captivate Android Development] polo1000rr:
understood. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] cckidquick:
I just got my Captivate last thursday and did my first flash last night to Cog 2.2 b8...stayed up to 1am customizing my phone to wake up and find a new version out! So looks like I'll be doing the same thing tonight!

First post FTW!
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I have two phones, Milestone and the Captivate. I am running custom roms on both, both are 2.2 apps (milestone as 2.1 kernel), one thing that I have been disappointed by on the Captivate is the lag for certain apps and activities. I don't know how many times I have to hit the back button for nothing to happen and not sure I hit it because it is not a physical button. I have never had to do this on my Milestone.

I do use Touchdown as well, and without a LagFix installed my Captivate is frustrating to operate at times. But it is not just Touchdown, other apps are symptomatic as well, especially back button activities.

Since my 550Mhz Milestone doesn't feel this way, and since the lag fixes exist in the first place, I don't see how anyone can just dismiss the need for a lagfix. I can only assume one would have no apps and very few contacts/emails and calendar entries and therefore do not feel the effect. DG worked pretty hard to get voodoo into the kernel for something not really needed :)

Anyway, I am sorry this is not directed at the original poster about not needing a LagFix, more frustration that Samsung can put together a high end device and not address more readily the obvious performance issues on what is supposed to be one the top tier (top 1 or 2) phones on the market. (Not to mention how long it took to get a GPS fix)

Glad I got that off my chest too.......
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
+1 I always Odin back to JF6 too, Master Clear, reformat the internal SD...
[Captivate Android Development] SWINGR:
Mine seems to have taken well. Its doing the long re-boot now. I went back to stock, wipe, and then back to B8.1 on accident. I figurede what the heck and went right to B9. It seems to be working though.
[Captivate Android Development] Thare187:
Haha! Happens to me all the time. The updates aren't being pushed every night like they used to so you won't be updating every night. I don't even customize my phone anymore because as soon as I do there is a new version out. Good work DG.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Anyone know if the stock lockscreen will work on beta 9 and let us keep the new reboot options in power menu? I know that Tayutama updated his lockscreen but not sure if it will work on our release of Froyo. Is the link on Cognition homepage updated with the new reboot options?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
THANK YOU.

if you dont think you need a lagfix, keep it to yourself. Samsung's RFS is obviously flawed and the phone sucks with certain apps without a lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
i think it will work without issues.

My custom framework-res plugged back into beta 9 without any issues.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I will be flashing shortly.

The tell tale sign is Touchdown sync after restoring the settings. On my Milestone and when a properly working Lagfix is installed on the Captivate the emails/calendar/contacts inititial sync is quite quick, less than 2 minutes. If no lag fix installed in can take over 11 minutes.

I have about 200 contacts,6months of calendar entries and about 200 emails in my inbox.
[Captivate Android Development] dhncali420:
LOL maybe I should do what you do or don't do...I even saw that B9 was coming but couldn't help myself...just finished setting up 8.1 (homescreens widgets etc..) after test driving AOSP b3, now downloading B9 to do it all over again....

ha ha the life of a FLASHER!

excellent work DG
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Finished updating to 2.2 Beta 9. Used ODIN, no issues. Flashed back to stock, master cleared first. The only things I had was initially it would not make calls, it was as if it were in flight mode but didnt show it. Tried enabling/disablinig flight mode with no luck so I rebooted with no luck. Shutdown, took SIM out and rebooted again. Shutdown again, put SIM back in and its been solid since. I did try a I9000 ROM a few days ago and I prefer Cognition.

After 1 hr so far so good, great job DG!

[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
Please don't crucify me, but AFAIK the only was to test if Voodoo is enabled is with Quadrant. W/O Linda speaking I don't have a clue if it actually applied, based off of quadrant (which is below 950) I don't believe it is working. Is there a better way to verify?

I do not have disable-lagfix in the voodoo folder.

[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
edit - (please don't shoot) I'm getting a 1445 q score.. I believe you need to reflash - try the ODIN method
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
No No No NO and NOOOOO

Yes I was, but I was fighting and always will, OCLF, which is a ext2-3-4 container file sitting on top of the rfs file system, voodoo replaces the rfs file system with ext4. Totally different, much more reliable, faster, and badass :D

---

On a side note, NEVER FLASH WITH YOUR SIMCARD IN, IT WILL CAUSING FLASHING ISSUES AND BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Quadrant is a perfectly fine way of seeing if Voodoo is working or not. It should be 1500-1700 if its working properly so I would say your isnt.

Also it creates a Voodoo folder on your sdcard after it installs.

Only issue I am having on beta 9 is I keep getting vibrations. I keep feeling vibrations that would normally lead to a soft reboot but instead it is just doing the one vibrate and then waits a few seconds and does the two vibrations. Only thing is, nothing is closing and no errors are popping up.

Everything is fast and smooth, I hated having to use i9000 releases because where I live in Kentucky, I can get the H connected when in town but when at home with no 3G, I get absolutely no service. I don't need HSUPA for anything though, I am very happy DG made a custom kernel for us!!

it will say either ext4 or rfs, if it is rfs, no voodoo...

as far as the ui being faster, I am confused by that, the animation speeds are not effected by voodoo. what you will see faster, installing of apps, launching of apps...
[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
Mine is still on RFS. Is there a way to get voodoo to run on the next reboot? (I've plain rebooted several time already)
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
wow, between this and using the spare parts set on fast ... blazing fast.

I got a couple misc. FCs from my restore which was stable on the other I9000 based roms.

Same stuff I saw before with the JI based stuff/.

AppsUnistall is one.

Chrome to Phone can be another.

I got a Phone FC too.

They all seem working after the firstFC.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
By UI I did mean the launching of apps, etc - I was trying to compare the use of the eBay app w/ Beta9 and 8.1 (with and without Voodoo) and the Ebay app is still slow - so this just leads me to believe it is that specific app -

On the whole, it is much snappier.

Beta9 = Awesomeness

Beta 9 is very nice. Loading is much smoother than past betas. Colors look great and vodoo is a nice treat(significant performance improvements).

Keep it up DG.

A charitable contribution is coming your way here shortly sir.

Also, glad to have the odin option back for flashing.

I never had any issues with odin and find it to have been the simplest form of flashing for me.( Kernel swapping is fine, but always seems a little more risky).

I dont understand the reasons some indivduals are not able to enter download mode. You hold the two volume buttons while device is off and thats it. Maybe I am not very observant of past posts. Is it a corrupt configuration file or something or just a glitch from the beta? Or is it some strange phenomenon that exists for some users?

BTW, I can verify what DG continues to state (as some seem to not adhere to), removing the sim when flashing, since it was first stated almost a month ago, is and will continue to be the solution to the major battery drain issues(invalid battery stats).

Will keep posted if any issues come up(although I doubt I will encounter too many) :)
[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
I used CWM on BETA 7 to flash originallly, then I reflashed in CWM from beta 9 in hopes that would get Voodoo to work.

Possibly voodoo only works through ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
quick side question, if you had one of the 2.1.x cognitions with voodoo beta 3, can you safely delete the voodoo folder on the sdcard prior to flashing the new 2.2 beta 9?

not at all - battery seems to be on par with 8.1 - beta8 was an issue with the JI2 modem
