As long as you use Tibu to restore applications only shouldn't be am issue.

Only data I restore is my angry birds :-)

On another note had a weird issue.

I was checking my voice mail and after I ended my call it "soft rebooted" to the ATT screen and went back to the lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Haha, Angry Birds is da shizit! lol

I had that happen to me once when i first bought my phone and was still on stock, non-rooted Android 2.1... never happened again afterword tho.. Watch it, if it starts becoming a common problem, then i'd start to worry.
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Okay, quick question... i believe back in 2.3b3 there was a widget for the Task Manager that would show how many apps were running, and when i tapped on it, it would open the task manager...

Is there anyway to get this back? if so, how?

Maybe it's still there and I just forgot how to access it?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Long press home button
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
That's just the task manager, not the widget. Somewhere in this thread is the apk needed for the widget but I was unable to get it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I get a quick lock like what DG reported, but google navigator is just as bad at tracking as ever...but the GPS status app never lost a lock on the same trip. Not sure what to take from that.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Its a Samsung widget so you need TWlauncher for it to work.

Also probably need 486372820+ other Samsung Widgets for dependencies or something....
[Captivate Android Development] zipo16:
I believe its called Program Monitor
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
so now instead of delivering roms, we are trying to sell them by saying they are the fastest?
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
All i know is i never install it (unless it came with one of the apps i had installed back then, but i doubt it), so i believe it came with the rom, and I know it's part of Task Manager that comes with cog, cuz when I tapped it, it opened it...

So i wish i could find it again, cuz I liked it...
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:
Finally got 2.3b6 installed successfully, and I had a random shutdown. That's only the second time it's happened in the several months I have had my phone. The first time I was on stock. Never had it happen since that one time until tonight after flashing. I went to check my phone and it was off. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
It's called the fastest bc DG just added a new voodoo version.... clues us in on the changelog. I don't consider it selling so much as an appropriate title with a little artistic license.

But really in my opinion it is very fast for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Lol I don't see any where that you have to buy the rom or that you have to even use it lol

Is it possible to rip a wallpaper from a rom and if so whats the location of the wallpaper...would appreciate the help thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nicolasavru:
That's been especially bad for me in 2.3b5.1, got 4 shutdowns today. About to flash 2.3b6, but not hopeful...

Can you please explain how to get this working please. I tried and can't get it to work :(

[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
That's a very good question, but i'm not really sure about this either...

But yeah, i never really thought about that, but I could could probably use this knowledge as well!
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
I'm going from 2.4 to the newest. Do you think system data like browser bookmarks, sms/mms prefs, sms/mms/apn dialer storage, and contacts storage should be okay?

The last few times I just wiped everything with the thought that I would be playing it safe, but I'm getting a little tired of losing all my texts and call history and bookmarks. Everything else I can deal with or re-sync but I always lose those.
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
I get "Application Not Installed" after i click on the "Install" button...

Do I have to install using adb?
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
You can give it a shot, and if worse comes to worst, you'll just have to start over and re-flash..

If you do try it, post back and let us know how it went!
[Captivate Android Development] jdphilly:
Yeah i would to love to have a wallpaper from an old rom...
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Yes, here is the magic sauce in my opinion, I always do this and it is rockin fast, though it helps to understand what you are doing when you do this. Touchdown is VERY usable with this fix. It will probably be faster with 2.3B6, but I will not install that until tomorrow (unless DG release 2.3.b7):

Install Touchdown, but don't configure it:

then go into adb:

adb shell

su

cd /data/data

for i in com.nitrodesk.* ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /dbdata/data/ ; busybox ln -s /dbdata/data/$i $i ; done

reboot

It looks like Tibu will not backup Touchdown (It does not follow the link correctly afaik) Always undo this before flashing:

undoit:

adb shell

su

find /data/data -maxdepth 1 -type l -exec rm {} \;

cp -rp /dbdata/data /data

rm -r /dbdata/data

exit

exit

adb reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You will have to take the apk and put it in the system/apps and reboot...but to use the widget you will have to install either stock Touchwiz launcher or the modded touchwizgtg launcher to be able to use it because it is a samsung widget...
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
I ALWAYS restore those items...Especially the SMS/MMS with TiBu

Only time it was ever an issue was from 2.1 to 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
If you look on the site it states it will wipe your data. The rim flash is set to do it on its own.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
i just installed this and man....this rom is straight up

SAFE
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Can find the default wallpaper in the framework-res.apk... Usually in the drawable-hdpl folder.

I use win rar to open them but there is another application/zip program that does it to.

On Cognitions latest and greatest. Don't ask what version DG pumps email out to fast!
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Yeah, i think he knows that... He was asking if it was safe to backup & restore certain system settings using TiBu such as SMS/MMS Messages, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
I meant using TiBu, and coping the save files onto external sd.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
I'm really starting to loathe this version of swype.....

I can type this out faster than editing my stupid swype mistakes grrrrrrr.

On Cognitions latest and greatest. Don't ask what version DG pumps em' out to fast!
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Yeah, I guess that's my best bet! As long as the apps for the data are the same I don't know why there would be a problem but I understand like 0% of this stuff so what do I know. :p
[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
Agreed this ROM is pretty quick, I have not seen the lag we had before in any of the menus, browsers, etc.

Would just like to see a real GPS fix soon.....
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Just give it a shot, it'll probably be worth the outcome :)

[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
I just flashed 236 for the fourth time. Stock/clear/flashing first without the SIM card in, and then flashing right back over that with CWR, and now for the first time I've got signal bars instead of the "no connection" symbol. However, I still cannot access the mobile data network at all. Trying to add my google account and it tells me I don't have a network connection.

As someone suggested a while back... APN settings. I went to check and there was nothing there. So I configured them manually (haven't done that since WM 5.0 days but whatever) and now it seems to be working fine. Strange, never had a single problem with flashing ROMs until this.
[Captivate Android Development] sanners38:
I fixed my tether problem by reinstalling USB drivers nice stable connections now.
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Huh... interesting...

I Can tell you that there are some settings that flashing / master resetting dont touch what-so-ever, such as the setting stored in the sim card, etc. But i dont really know much about that.

And i believe APN is one of those settings... but again, im just throwing it out there cuz I really dont know for sure..

EDIT: I wonder if flashing stock using Odin Twice would help in a situation like this?

Such as Master Clear, Flash Stock, Master Clear Again, Flash Stock Again... or something like that... it's a long shot, but judging on how the whole double-flashing a modem works to enable HSUPA, I know theres gotta be something more to the eye than see...
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I had that with 2.3b2... but haven't seen it since.

Of course I came from the blackberry world and pushed a Storm on AT&T so I have messed with APN settings every time I installed new software, so it was old hat for me.

Side Note. Got the Samsung Focus today. (I expect a ton of heat)

It's SICK! A bit slower, but, WAY prettier, transitions are tight...GORGEOUS phone

DG, I'd love to see what you could do with this phone

2.3B6 By far the best ROM you've released. Love the verticle app launcher. That was one of my biggest peeves
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Do you reckon that we can pull the voice search app from an older rom and copy it in, and be good to go?

I wonder what the difference is between the two. It would seem then that when I use the BT button to bring up search, it brings up the one that doesn't. I"m using this app to do that.

Would you mind elaborating? Do you press the BT button, it brings up a Google Voice Search (or Vlingo), and you can say "Call John Doe on Mobile"?

Yours is the first post (that I remember), and I've been trying to watch closely to see anyone who is successfully using BT and BT button to voice dial. Maybe I've missed a few.

But then, if yours works, and others don't, that is interesting too. I have 3 different BTs, and none work w/o the app I linked above.

Oh BTW...GPS

Further driving/testing with GPS, and yes, on this ROM, GPS is back to working good w/o having to put Jupiter6 on. Based on an 85 mile drive tonight.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...0004957515d99c42076a3&t=h&z=13&mid=1290230250

GPS tracked extremely well..

This is a track i made going through a drive through and then a parking lot after making a U Turn. Don't now how much more accurate one can get from a Phone....Locking the first time after ROM install took 170 seconds after that they were between 4-10 seconds and 4 Sats min. Phone was mounted on a windshield phone mount. I don;t think there are any GPS issues with this guy anymore.

i just cant get over how safe this rom is! I flashed this rom to my phone and it DIDNT immediately burst into flames, i couldnt believe it!

[Captivate Android Development] micro2112:
So I just flashed 2.3.6 up from 2.2b6 and all went well.. gps is iffy.. kinda feels a slower to lock than b4 but most importantly:

i have no voodoo? theres no folder, no voices at start up.. nothing.. i used the direct cwflash.. any tips?

ive read back 20pages and doesnt seem like anyone had this problem. if nothing else ill flash back to stock and start all over.. (but i really dont want to do that lol)
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
You really should flash new ROMS from stock especially if you have issues...

Then Master clear the phone. Root it update CW from there or download ROM Manager and flash from there.

GPW will not lock fast the forst few times you use it. As your Data builds up it seems to lock faster.i
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
OK if anyone is interested, I did what Mr.. I mean DR. Bogger here said; I restored the system data I mentioned (just the bookmarks & sms things), and it worked without any problems. Of course, the apps were exactly the same, which I think is crucial (ie the browser I used prior to flashing was 2.2, when I flashed the new cog I checked that it was still browser 2.2, and when I saw that it was I brought the info in from TiBu). Of course, most system data **** I would just leave alone, but I think some things should usually be okay. Or at least, it worked for this time!
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
Yeah it is. Mine does the same thing...my master clears definitely MASTER. CLEAR. DG said the first boot will take an unusually long time...perhaps you aren't waiting long enough? Flash back to stock then reformat the SD card through settings. Wipe cache and data then flash Cog. That would be my next course of action if I were you.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
just flashed 2.3b6 from jf6 (which was master cleared) now I am getting FCs on the phone app... going to flash again

[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Thanks for the advice! After taking out the external SD, and then troubleshooting and narrowing it down, turns out that it was the Apps that were moved to SD in the .android_secure that were causing the FCs. Once I moved them all back to the phone, no problem since (and after a nice reformatting of the card).

Nice and smooth again!

Hey guys,

I'm back with a new issue: dropped calls. With the Rogers stock ROM, I did notice some dropped calls, but today, I didn't get a single call and 3 voice messages out of nowhere. It's never been this bad.

Is this usually a carrier thing? Or would it have anything to do with my latest flash?

Thanks!

JH7

There was a post a while back that asked if it was ok to flash from JH7 rom instead of the JF6. It was never really answered and I have the same question. I know everything says to revert back to stock JF6 but would there be a problem if I did this from JH7?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I just tested and it worked for me. I just set up an alarm and the snooze side thing was greyed out.

gallery glitch

I have no plans to hijack the thread repeating a bug, but I still have problems with the gallery. It is not refreshing whatsoever. It doesn't show the new images until I reboot or unmount/mount the internal sd card. If I delete images that are displayed in the gallery, it still shows the thumbnails, again until a reboot. Clear gallery data did not help. I did not have that problem in 2.3b4.

There have been a few other reports about gallery f/c on 2.3b6. Can anyone please test whether the above behavior can be reproduced in another phone?

DG: the gallery apk here is the same as the one you used for 2.3b4? What about the media scanner that reads the card after boot? Should it continue scanning while the phone is on or is a one-time thing? Did that change between those two roms?

I did the Odin version of 5.5 and by far that has been the easiest flash for me. Was back up and running in a matter of minutes.

Battery life seemed poor at first, but maybe I was just using my phone too much. Popped an eBay battery in it when I got home, and decided to see how well that works. Well, been running for, well here's a screenie:

I'm gonna do my best to NOT FLASH MY PHONE TONIGHT, even if DG releases a version with naked girls attached! I gotta see how battery life is on this thing! lol

Also, about the lagfix. I too was on the fence with using/not using one. The phone seemed snappier with one before, but I have to say that since beta 5.5, I really don't feel I need one. Games and apps load just as fast, menu switching is smooth as butter, and the possible risks that come with a lagfix are just not worth it anymore IMO.

Overall DG, excellent work yet again!
