You are a bit confused.

You download the rom from this site and put it on your sd. You do not rename it. In order for rom manager to work in clockwork recovery there needs to be an update.zip file to get to the recovery.

Couple questions

You have rom manager obviously, have you flashed clockwork?

You should have a folder on your sd for clockwork. Find the recovery-update.zip copy this to your sd. Rename update.zip. download rom to sd, do not rename. Go to rom manager install rom from sd. Clear cache and data. When you reboot in the blue stock recovery click reinstall packages. The phone will reboot and come back to the same screen. Click reinstall packages again. Enjoy

Make sure you disable the voodoo laggix prior to all of this

Thanks, that really got me working on GPS/aGPS ( I really don't care which one as long as it gets me there reliably). This is an incredible ROM, but definately breaks the use of navigation for some reason.

I don't see the point of people arguing when there is no dispute there is a GPS issue on the captivate. believe me, I have access to many versions of phones in multiple quantities so, it IS samsung's phone that has the issue!! The great thing about these forums are that you find help on your specific issue to use your phone in the REAL world.

Not operator error, I'm seeing the same thing. However it did let me connect. Will have to try it again.

If you use dropbox...and if you pay

I've been using ES File Explorer...If you guys haven't checked it out...

It's a root explorer that uses FTP and/or LAN. I can move almost ANY file to and from my phone to my PC via wireless LAN

No more mounting to PC...No need for a USB cable

How can I put the stock lockscreen on Cognition 2.4? If there's a way to do it all on the phone (i.e. not have to plug it into my PC) that would be great. I did some searching but this thread is so damn big that I can't find any useful information.

i got a question for anybody thats willing to answer.. i'm fin2 put this rom on my friend phone. he's phone is already rooted but on the stock rom.. so my question is do i just download rom manager and flash the recovery? put the file on the internal sd card and flash the file in recovery mode. and that's it?
[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
Yep - seeing the same issue, no VM notifications. Also noticed that the battery consumption appears more aggressive that previous versions of COG. I contribute that to the JJ4 modem.bin. . as I haven't changed anything else from COG2.3b

Think I'll mess up my phone and flash the JI6 modem.bin file and see if that helps with both problems. . .I like BRICKS. . . :D

You may or may not find an issue here but JF6 with 2e recovery worked brilliantly with CWM flash to 2.4. JI6 with 3e recovery flash gave me a 3g problem (3) times.

Could be nothing....but a 1 in 4 shot and it worked flawlessly even the GPS/VM everything appears perfect. What do ya got to lose.

Just a quick question I haven't been able to find an answer to. If I was running Cog 2.2b9.X with Voodoo lagfix and flashed 2.4 without first disabling voodoo - what could I have potentially done?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
you cannot install it.

it needs to go into system\app\

and writes need to be rw-r--r--
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I did that once accidently (2.3b3 to 2.4) and found no harm done. Just check your phone if everything looks ok.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I didn't flash back to a stock ROM before I went from Cog 2.3 to 2.4. Is this bad?

Also, battery life is absolute crap. If I keep Wifi sleep policy to always on, my battery goes down the crapper. Even if I keep my display at minimal brightness, I hit 93% battery consumption on display quite frequently. After about 9 hours, my battery is at 25-20%.
[Captivate Android Development] alias3800:
Thanks mcord.

I followed your instructions, but now every time I go to the stock (blue) recovery screen and click reinstall packages, it takes me back to ClockworkMod Recovery. I also tried installing the cog2.4 zip file manually through clockwork and again it got stuck on the installing update portion.

I copied and renamed "recovery-update.zip" to "update.zip" on the sd card. Did I miss something else?
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
My widgets keep having problems loading any ideas. I used my backup pro and reinstalled apk and data. Is data the problem since 2.4 is vibrant rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I didn't wipe the sd. Why do I WANT to do that?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
At first I was kind of blown away between the difference but I realized you have a ton of apps running.

My test was taken with only launcher pro open (with a bunch of widgets, but nothing compared to your screenshot)

And I realized I am running Geomod (DG's aosp beta 3 is the base) so this is a captivate rom and not a i9000 like I was thinking.

Anyone care to post the MFLOPS score of Cog 2.4 with little to no apps running? And don't just run it once, do it a few times. Score usually increases each time
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
I disabled voodoo and flashed 2.4 from 9.1.3 with cwm. I cleared everything and restored apps with Tibu. I do not get voodoo voices for whatever reason and had to flash a couple times before everything worked right. But it's all good now and runs real smooth. Well except for the swiping contacts. Not sure what's up with that. It could be from how I flashed but I think most, if not all people are having this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:

Funny the lock screen i posted earlier works fine for me
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
I liked ES File Explorer a lot, but I noticed that if I moved pictures from my phone to my server on my wireless network, it would go crazy and duplicate all of the pictures on my phone. They weren't real duplicates, but the phone thought they were. This happened 5 times. I fixed the problem by moving pictures to my computer via USB and then opening the Gallery, closing the gallery, remounting the card and deleting the thumbnails that were still present, then reloading the pictures. It got annoying, so I started using Astro and connected that way to my wireless network/server and have been fine ever since.

Note: I use USB at work and the wireless server is at home.

Upgraded from 2.2 to 2.4 without a hitch. Works great.

My 2 biggest complaints though

First off my biggest. I want my contacts back in my phone tabs. NOT voicemail. I want to be able to click the phone button and go over and click contacts there and then dial the person I want.. I don't want to have to click on contacts to find the person I want to call. May be just me but I like it that way.

2nd thing is the colors of the notification dropdown are horrid. I know neither of these are done by DG, but just saying.

How I got this score: I didn't mention linpack or quadrant score in this thread!

[Captivate Android Development] cellgeek:
@Kizzmiazz -

Call your Captivate from a landline and leave a voicemail. See if the VM Indicator icon shows up on your status bar. Doesn't on COG 2.4. Probably won't, but I'm curious.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Look down to the right of the call button for contacts...

I agree with you about the pull down... working on a theme for everything :)

------------

On a side now, linpack scores are 14-15 mflops... All of you guys fussing over 1-2 mflops with an overclocked kernel... ITS OVER CLOCKED!! of course it will score higher...

I notice that I will have apps running on my phone that I never even accessed and I have seen free apps on the MARKET that allow us to alter what will start up when we boot up the phone.

I'm having trouble with contacts and phone calls.

I'm missing contacts. I tis not syncing with ATt or Exchange.

I was talking with someone and the call was dropped. I could neither call them back nor could they call me back (the other party texted me to let me know and I did likewise.) When I tried ot make a call the call screen appeared but I could not connect to the network. I rebooted. I cleared Google voice as the default for phone calls. I then cleared the data cache for Google voice. I had to set up Google voice again. At some point in the process a message from ATT said that my calls could not be completed at this time. Signal strenght was good throughout. Eventually I could make calls again. I've never had this happen before. I don't if it was a network or rom issue.

I completely agree with you, I have a 1200 dollar navigation stereo in my car.. I bought my captivate for nifty cell phone usage.. My car can tell me where to go on its own. If I'm walking anywhere and need a GPS to locate where I'm going.. I've either been kidnapped and thrown somewhere that my cell phone won't work anyway, or I'm just SoL..

Constant complaining about the GPS is about as absurd as telling a hooker in vegas that she has a meaningful career to be passed down to her children..
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
That is usually a wifi assisted location. Google uses wifi router id to match to their database. If someone moved a router over it would show the database location until the gps picks up. Happened to me when I moved a router from mass to nh. Messes me up all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] JPS81:
No, what's absurd is people making excuses for Samsung/AT&T about advertised features that are not working as advertised.

By both your logic, if you wanted an MP3 player, you'd buy an iPod. If you wanted a web browsing device, you'd buy a netbook. If you wanted an eReader, you'd buy a Kindle. If you wanted a clock, you'd buy a rollex. If you wanted an address book/calendar/tasker, you'd buy a PDA. If you wanted a camera, you'd buy a DSLR.

The list goes on and on. And you may feel witty attempting to separate functionality into separate devices until all you're left with is a phone, but I personally don't feel like carrying around Batman's utility belt or pretending that is a realistic option.

WHY BOTHER BUYING A SMARTPHONE IF YOU THINK THE ONLY FEATURE SAMSUNG/AT&T IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IS THE ACTUAL PHONE CALLING PART? A 'dumb' phone will do this exact job with a fraction of the cost with far, far more battery life. Why bother with any of a smartphone's other features since you two are so intent on having separate devices that do those other functions better?

If you don't mind paying for features that don't work, well then I have this stereo cable that'll make your music 1000 times better* for only $200.

*All features work as advertised except making your music 1000 times better.

gps

I have to say that the Google app seems to have many more problems with GPS then the free app Waze. I tried Google Nav and it took about 5 minutes to get a lock on my location. But Waze took about 10 Seconds and I had not moved at all.

So maybe some of your problems is with Google Nav and not your GPS. If nothing else its worth a try.
