Been a few days since DG has posted in here. Hope he isn't upset with some peoples pure ignorance in this thread. Regardless of the lagfix debate, DG is the reason we have froyo already and he is why we have a kickass rom to make it even better.

I wish more could be done about people reading the OP and then posting a quick reply about how do I flash it and the other questions that have been asked and answered time and time again.

I can say if I were DG I would be pretty annoyed and agitated.

If your new please use the "search this thread" button before posting your question. The link to the FAQ (

[Captivate Android Development] eelton:
Why so much bluster about this? If you want the lag fix, it takes less than 30 seconds to download it from the market.

There are a lot of things left out that people might want...Should he have included a Kindle Reader and Pandora, just in case?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Wow this thread is slipping into darkness..LOL

Its no wonder. Perception is amazing and yes it fixes GPS...somehow someway that Version of the Samsung has GPS fixed.

Screw the wired headset BT works like it should with Voice.....
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yeah, you can tell this thread is slowly dying. Now when I wake up I only have a page, at most, to read. Before it was like 10-15 pages. Ah well. I'm on Cog 2.3b5 cuz I didn't like the 3e Recovery on b6. I tried Perception, but had some issues and instead of flashing again or trying to work out the bugs, I just put Cog back on it. Perhaps I'll give Perception another go tonight at work...
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Once you go Bacon you'll never go back!

Swyping...please read slowly!
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I already went Bacon and came back. Just reading that thread makes me wary and loving my 30 hour battery life and no issues with Cog. Might be staying after all. It will all depend on how busy it is tonight at work...lol
[Captivate Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
Just a personal opinion, but I have been very happy with 2.3b6. It appears to be working smooth and without significant issue. The GPS takes a bit to get locked on... like 20 minutes. But once its locked I am good for the rest of the day while driving or even in/out of doors. I am using the Super Power app to manage resource issue as well. Whether thats playing into anything or not, I couldn't be certain. BT with my car is fine, as well as BT with a PS3 Keyboard worked fine also. I don't know about my BT headset... still trying to find the stupid thing. Misplaced it..things are too freaking small!

Anyways, if this were the last release I wouldn't complain too much... it would be one worth making a backup ROM for safe keeping.

So for those that are having issues with the latest release, what am I missing that is of such an issue ?
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
I was very hesitant of making the switch too but am glad that I have. I have had zero issues with Perception 4; been running it since Wednesday night and have themed it as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I agree that it's a great ROM. It has PHENOMENAL speed. My only issue I had really was not being able to receive calls. It would black screen and FC. Making calls was fine, I loved the UI speed as well as the HSUPA, but wasn't really into diagnosing issues that day. I'm tempted to take another shot especially since build 4 is there now.
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Please be sure to flash back to stock and do a master clear first, to avoid any issues you have seen in the past. By doing so, it is much easier to troubleshoot. Good Luck.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I waited till Build 4 and now I would not go back to a Captivate ROM.

Perception is that good and Recovery doesn't rewrite apks, it acts like it always has albeit with far more options. Under clocking is nice and I am on 14 hours with 70% left. when I used to get less than that.

Bacon is a wnnner...GPS is fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Always do. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] marcong:
Need to speak with my headphone

working hard with 449 pages :eek:, finally i find this guy who have the same problem. Any ideas to fix it. I make 40 calls/day, and i have to use headphone to make a call. I love this rom, it realy fast and smoot. don't tell me back to Eclair Stock. Sorry for my bad English
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The gps fix is just clshortfuses v006 jupiter.xml, I've been using that forever and yes, it does fix the gps because it runs in standalone mode and all the samsung garbage is cut out. The .xml is only about 1.5 pages long versus samsungs 20+ pages. GPS initial lock is 1 to 1 and a half minutes after that, 5 to 10 secs. Been posting about how well that fix works forever but.... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I missed tha in the change logs......So there IS a verdion for this ROM as well? I wouold suggest people use it....now LOL

Well at least I am not seeing things.,There is a reason for the improvemet.Didn't know Jupiter was injected. You are right about 5-10 second locks and better sensitivity. I wonder why Samsung has not come out with a fixc.

I tried the google settings and other things but nothing worked as well as this ROM. In fact the google settings really did nothing as far as I am concerned.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Yup, having that same problem in 2.3b3. No change in the gallery/camera/scanner stuff between the builds, so it's something that can pop up with any of them I'd think.

Might reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I had a similar problem when i was using an app called rescan media root to control media scanning. It basically disabled my gallery app, though i could view pics with other apps.
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
Shutdown problems with Cog 2.3b6

I've been having a shutdown problem with Cog 2.3b6. When my Captivate shows the battery charged above 90% I get random shutdowns. There's more to this though. My application shortcuts to Angry Birds and Optime Checkers keep losing their links. Both my internal and external sd cards show a folder called LOST.DIR. If I delete the applications and the folder, everything works fine for the rest of the day. At a loss here, cause this is really weird.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I've always had in on my phone through at least 15 roms and I found this info through a google search in the android forums.

"It was said that it was a Mac recycle folder but given I've never connected the Droid to a Mac, but have definitely had various screw ups during the transfer/mount/dismount process, I assume this directory is simply for ANY deleted or 'lost' file for recovery purposes. If it's related at all to the standard lost+found, then it's a special file that holds all the corrupted or orphaned files found during a file system check."

Looking at my lost.dir I'll have to agree, it does contain files that didn't load correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
If your talking about the google settings in lbstestmode those settings only affect lbstestmode, they change nothing on the phone. It's just for finding the settings that work so you can edit them into jupiter.xml and gps.conf. secgps.conf holds the lbs settings in the /data/gps folder but the captivate doesn't have that dir unless you add it (/gps under /data/ I mean). :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] MS3Zoom24:
I'm not using a BT, just using an aux cable from phone to car, and since flashed to any 2.2 rom havent been able to hear it through the stereo.

so how have you been able to use the stereo, im having no luck

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
This wasn't true for me. I didn't have to a /gps folder. If I remember right (I'm on Perception now), the contents of the /gps folder are empty, but it does exist.
[Captivate Android Development] DraglineDrummer:
Is this a ROM issue?

I'm running Cognition v2.4.1 and I have noticed that sometimes I miss calls but it never rings and I don't get the audible notification that I have a voicemail either. Sometimes it's perfectly fine, other times it's not. I'm not in any kind of area that would lose service. Does this have anything to do with the ROM or is it something else? Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Version 2.4.1 is based on the Vibrant and it has issues with the voice mail notification not working.
[Captivate Android Development] ratflinger:
Lost directories are a *nix thing - That's why Mac people see them. I see them in the Solaris world too.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Right, I'm not on a Mac though and the lost dir is full of old apps on my phone when I look at them with notepad ++ and a hex editor. Quite large in size too. Just trying to clear up what the lost.dir is for. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Perception 4 uses CLshortfuse's v006 jupiter files so you would have that dir as designgears implemented his fixes into the rom. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
DD. Thanks for this great rom.. It is stable and fast .. I really love it.. Please keep me inform of your new upcoming projects or tips to improve my phone experience.. Thanks..

Transaction ID #91151961KR869770M.. hope your enjoy your beer
[Captivate Android Development] igolfchip:
Email notifications?

Wow - I really didn't like the captivate with stock rom. But after installing this, I'm really, really in love with the device and all the functionality.

The speed and build quality is fantastic on this rom.

Question - I keep going into the mail settings and setting the notification sound to "silent". After rebooting, goes back to the default tone. Any fixes for this?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
is it me or is anyone else a little freaked out that its been 10 days and they havent put out a new rom yet ? =)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
time for you to move onto perception. thats what designgears is working on now
[Captivate Android Development] drepschultz:
I've been using this rom for a week or so now and have noticed that I get many faulty downloads in the market. It tends to always hang at the installing phase. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] kevalin:
Well. My baby hated that!

I loaded 2.3b6 after flashing back to stock and master clearing from 2.2b7 (which I really liked). Everything went beautifully: fast, pretty, etc. I did notice that the occassional app would seem to come on of its own accord (Google voice, once or twice), but honestly, that could be the result of me activating it unintentionally while meaning to do something else.

Then I decided to calibrate my battery, using the instructions on page 2 of this thread.

When I booted up the phone after calibrating, the poor thing started buzzing and vibrating like it had some sort of palsy. Pretty much everything that controls the phone FC'd before it could even open: Titanium, ROM Manager, Laucher Pro and the Android Launcher; most of the other "main" apps... but the screen I'd put on was okay. No widgets or shortcuts, though,

I could access Settings and the Applications menu--though, of course, nothing would actually start without the launchers working. Fortunately, I was also able to hook up to my computer and disable Voodoo before clearing things.

I just flashed and master cleared again. I have no idea what happened that would cause this, but I will, I think, be giving a go to one of the earlier 2.3bs; 2.3b4, perhaps, since I've seen it mentioned several times as being a very good version.

If anyone else has had this kind of fun, please say so... and I'll report if this happens with an earlier version. May be the phone, though I've had no other problems with it so far.

I just wanted to report... and despite this setback, thank DG for his AMAZING work with this ROM. I will, come payday, be sending a small contribution... really small, I'm afraid, because I'm so broke I squeak... but I wanted to at least send something.

Wonderful work.
[Captivate Android Development] DraglineDrummer:
I apologize. I should have been more clear. I'm getting the notification for the voicemails. Sometimes the phone is just not ringing and the only way I know I've missed a call is if I look at it and then it shows a missed call and a voicemail. I was using an app for a ringtone so I'm hoping that was the problem. I changed it back to one of the generic ones on the phone today to see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
You guys should all come over to the Perception ROM...lol....You won't be disappointed.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
So is this rom dead. Now?
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
The reason why this happens is becouse you use titanium backup

i tested multiple timesand that seem to be coulprit. I now dont run it and everything installs fine
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Sign out of google "talk" and sign back in. That should fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Oh no... not a chance :)
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Good to know. I am loving this ROM. I have tried perception 4 for couple of days but this one "seems" better with more battery like as well.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Thank GOD!!
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
For me, it's the wired headset. I use this daily :(.

I also like that it's a captivate rom, albeit leaked and unofficial :D.
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
Thanks DG we thought you might forget us.........:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
I get this as well but I got it on Cog and I'm now getting it on Axura beta5...so who knows what the real culprit is.
[Captivate Android Development] sstrawsb:
i hope this isnt a repost. i read back a bunch of pages but i ddnt see anything. anyone having trouble with mms downloading? i recently flashed to this rom and everything was gravy before. bugs me i cant get pictures.
[Captivate Android Development] Philux:
I am having some minor issues with 2.3b6. The proximity sensor works, but it just seems to not work as good as it did in Eclair. Sometimes when I am talking on the phone my screen will come back and I will be pushing all types of buttons with my cheek. Sometimes it even goes as far as muting the call or putting the phone on speaker phone and then freezes the touch screen where I can not undo the options until the phone call is disconnected. When this happens I notice my top bar (where signal and clock is) is green.

I flashed odin before installing via Rom Manager.

Great rom otherwise (Thanks DG) was just curios if there is anyway to increase the sensitivity of the proximity sensor.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

Just a couple of observations.

The battery calibration only worked temporarily. My battery life is back to being total crap. The third party batteries a I got off eBay work better than the original Samsung one. Every once in a while, my Samsung one won't fully charge. I'll wake up in the morning and it'll be at 98%.

I was riding the bus in Van today and thought I'd try the GPS. Well.. it, quite simply, doesn't work. It'll give me my location, but it'll just linger at some random location. I'll have to actually move around the map and find myself (the little blue arrow), but it doesn't move with the bus. Every few seconds, it'll just readjust its location. GPS function does't come close to my old iPhone 3G. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Fallon:
I've been having that problem for a while, past couple of Cognition releases at least. Stopping the download (which is hung at 100%) will sometimes result in a force close. I've had some luck canceling the download and rebooting, or killing the market process, then re-downloading.

Also getting crap battery life, like half a day. For the past while each Cognition release gets a little worse. I'm actually thinking about going back just due to the bad battery life on this release.
[Captivate Android Development] leoinj:
Battery problems here as well. I was using b3 or b4 without issue but after updating to b6 battery use has been all over the place. Re-flashing on full battery and battery calibration techniques from the 3rd post haven't had any effect. Think I might go back to an earlier version unless DG has any interest in doing some more work on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] j.eaton80:
It seems like some people can be quite ungrateful for what they get to those I say flash back to stock for awhile and see how bad you think it is then to people that have misc problems after installing the cog Rom trust me on this go check out the directions on designgears wiki and follow them to a t step by step even the method of obtaining root access yes this will make a difference if your problem is with the Gps call Samsung and talk to them after an hour and a half on the phone with one of their techs they finally admitted that all the galaxy s us phones gps's were made with cheap parts and most all faulty without hope of repair to designgears I give my personal thanks for a great Rom defiantly is loads better than the crap that comes stock on the Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
You should probably repost this once per page, because obviously nobody is reading it.

Sent from my chopped & screwed Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Guys. Im trying to install a couple of things over this rom, but everytime i tried to use cwm it fails. I can see some checksum messages and finally default recovery screen appears. When i use reinstall packages the phone told me that my update.zip file have some version and certificates issues and the installation is aborted. Is there any way to fix my cwm? Thank you.

EDIT: The error when i tried to reinstall the update.zip file is related with wrong signatures. I have made this process of reinstall packages all the times, and this is the first time i have this kinf of messages. Thank you.

Call Not Sent

Anyone else getting a "Call Not Sent" dialog when attempting to call Voicemail from the notification bar? Only happens when done this way for me and only when it comes to Voicemail, not missed calls.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Happened to me as well.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I f you want waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better GPS, install DG's Pereception...or you can load JM9 from CW which is now included in Perception and I imagine will be in the next 2.3b7 or 8 Cog ROM

10 second locks 10 meter accuracy.....Yes they CAN and do talk about GPS in the Perception thread because it was changed in the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] 60hzrumble:
Same here, a few times.

Camera not working - fail error Cognition 2.3 Beta 6

Hello - I Cognition 2.3 Beta 6 using clockwork(from 2.2 Beta 7) wow everything works even GPS but now Camera does not work but video part ok...anyone experiencing this? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for the advise man. That's all I was looking for. I don't get people who act like they've just lost a child because someone posted something on a forum. If it bothers you that much, move to the next post.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
DD, could you please add volume hack to your next rom? the phone speaker is too low, I can barely hear the ringtone or you tube with little noise around..or where do I get a hack that works with this Rom?

Thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] Brynn85:
I'm not sure if I did this out of order or did something wrong or what, but I tried this after flashing the newest Cog and getting the no service signal. I flashed the modem then did the part of dialing *#2263# and choosing combi bands then #8 (even though I'm on AT&T, is this still what I was supposed to choose?) and then i hit menu and back. It does have automatic selected on first menu with a star next to it.... Still showing no signal :(

UPDATE: Went into ROM manager and just reflashed Cog, seems to be working now, thankfully
[Captivate Android Development] MarkPharaoh:
Anyone having any brightness issues? On auto-brightness I see that it keeps changing in certain rooms (almost like the software can't decide what's the best brightness). With a set brightness I notice that the screen takes additional time to turn on and off while putting the phone to sleep. It's a minor issue, just curious if I'm the only one with this small annoyance.
[Captivate Android Development] b0uncyfr0:
Hi Guys i wanted to try a different launcher so i removed Launcher Pro but im stuck on the Cognition boot screen. Nothing happens.

Dont tell me Cognition wont start without Launcher pro? If so is there a way to save my messages and any other stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
What version of Cog are you running? You should still have the TouchWizLauncher.apk file that should launch upon not having Launcher pro. You can try to use ADB to push the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to your /system/app/ folder, and then try to reboot. You'll have to get into Recovery Mode first, then as long as you're connected, run ADB and push the file to the correct directory.

Hopefully someone will give more concise instructions on using ADB.

In the future, install the different launcher you want to use FIRST, make sure it is the DEFAULT launcher, and THEN remove the launcher you DON'T want to use.

After installing 2.3b6, my phone has been on Edge the whole time. I can barely get any service in my house, whereas I used to get full 3g coverage. Anyone else having this problem?

I have 2.3b6 and my 3G is working fine.

no screen auto rotation

I have flashed the newest cog. rom and have no screen auto rotation. The auto rotation box in the pull down bar is on and hilighted green and autorotation is also hilighted and checked in green. I have no idea what to do from here. Any suggestions or answers will be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] j.v.fouts:
New Rom

Hey on your current rom (which i love) can you not delete some of the home screens like on prior roms? Also i really liked when you could turn the phone sideways and it moved also, any chances on that coming back or was that something you where just messing around with? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wjcaptivate:
You need to update your android id and calibrate your battery. I can run easily 30+hrs after calibration.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Me as well..But I turn all data off while I sleep and I easily can get a couple days between charges (especially with the undervolt program DG has in the Perception ROM).

Uses about 9% in 8 hours on standby with alarm set.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Those are both features of the launcher itself, which I think does not have settings or preferences. Try installing launcher pro or another launcher and you can change the preferences.
[Captivate Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Thanks man ill try that out and see if it works.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
DG is finding his way through the forest of i9000-specific issues, and I wouldn't switch to Perception until he's done. JFS = trouble.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
+1. I know it's a beast but I'm holding off as well.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
You went with cognition before its done. If you just modify the lagfix to the ext4 one you are fine. you can set what one you want to use in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] saoirse_go_deo:
That's...completely inaccurate haha, I've used jfs with no problem; ext4 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
No updates for a lllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg time. Time to move to Perception.
