Thanks for asking, even though you knew sombody had to ride you. It seems some people get a warm feeling from complaining about people asking questions.

I just read through the FAQ trying to figure this out. On the topic is also mentioned needing to do a Kernal Install and using a new recovery, 3e. So I was, and still am actually, a bit confused.

But from the answer you got, I may do a Nandroid BU of my 2.16 stuff,and finally do a 2.2b6 install to play with Froyo. And then I can switch back and forth at will, it sounds like. I've been waiting for it to have a few less bugs, as well as be able to move back and forth easily, before I do that.
[Captivate Android Development] cheetablaze:
CRUD! I just installed beta 5.5 last night LOL! I'm glad we have 2e recovery now! On click Odin is the best thing invented since sliced bread! Oh and BTW I had to install OCLF, it was just too sluggish for me. Keep up the good work DG!

- DG + Froyo + Captivate = The best threesome ever!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I cant tell you how happy I am to have clockwork back! all you devs absolutely rock . my 2 favorite roms are anything by dg, and eugenes frankin twiz. no i can just switch between the 2 effortlessly only proble is i though :DI was a flashaholic before! my poor , poor phone! lol

on a more serious note, im thinkin that battery life might be good on this rom. downloaded this like 2 hra ago and bat is at 97 % awesome!:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
Just saw the included .png in cog2.2b6... DG you don't have repartition checked. Is there a reason we shouldn't repartition when installing 2.2b6 or does it not matter? Just personal preference?
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
ok with the new beta6 having 2E recovery injected to froyo this means we can use the CWM from eclair on froyo....so yes in theory what your attempting is possible but your really better off using ODIN to do this. ODIN is really the easiest way of flashing this without any issues with what was previously installed. the odin DL comes with odin, phone tar,pda tar, csc tar, and the pit file. put them all in the same folder point odin to the files and hit start. it really is that easy. really no worries...if you have three button dont be affraid. if you have questions hop on irc to the #Cognition chan. and ask away. we are all there for help.....and yes your going to be pointed to the FAQ first read it all. if your still lost ask away. there is normally 40 -50 ppl there. DG/Zilch/Kaik/Reffer/wArri/ are norm there all the time, me too so come ask away.

VideoPlayer.apk

Can someone post a deodexed VideoPlayer.apk from the leaked Captivate 2.2 files? I would truly appreciate it, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bjabah:
What are you talking about?? It was 4 hours since unplugged, not screen uptime....

I'm at 77% right now, screen is 88% of battery usage, and has been on for 35 mins. Previously, I would end an 8 hour day in the mid 60's %. I'm very happy with 5.5 except my battery usage is much higher on the screen % and I don't know why. I've got brightness set at auto and power saving mode is on.

bja
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
Same here i thought 5.5 is the last beta so i waited fews days and no updates so i decided to finally flash it last night then tonight ... b6 came out LOL
[Captivate Android Development] Faux_ghost:
anybody else having problems with wifi?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Has anyone considered that a great deal of these "battery issues" may be a placebo?

Those coming from 2.1, we didn't have the percentage in the battery meter. Seeing it drop one, two, or five points over a period of time could generate alot more anexiety than "eh, the meter might have decreased by one row of pixels". That and after flashing a new ROM, aren't we all more inclined to use the phone alot more than usual? I know I certainly was.

...just sayin
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
No problems with WiFi here.

Im using the froyo cog beta 1 version(and happy with it) would it be worth my time to update to beta 6 or just wait till we get froyo from samsung????

just want suggestions and opinions on this.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] aceman0455:
LAG FIX IS FAKE PPL!!!!!! voodoo is the only thing that really changes anything. FROYO is fast w/o the lag fix. OCLF doesnt fix anything on 2.2. I dare anyone to have this battle with DG or Kaik541......I did.....I lost horribly.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Shouldn't matter either way...
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Cool, thanks. Where does the extracted wallpaper go?
[Captivate Android Development] bleeman:
Perfect! Thanks DG
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Put it anywhere on your SD/ExtSD and you can have it forever then. Then just set your wallpaper to that.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Deleted my battery stats and it send be fine now. One thing tho, now when I delete a word from Swype dictionary, it doesn't seem to disappear. Any way around this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Works fine for me when I remove them.
[Captivate Android Development] ronet:
Can you please add BiDi support for RTL languages like hebrew and arabic?

and please maybe deodexed version?
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
No. Many of us had battery percentages on eclair by using battery mods, etc. My phone definitely drains faster on 5.5 than it did on the previous betas. I first installed it via kernel swap and saw poor performance. I reflashed last night (right before 6 was released :o) by doing a master clear, odining back to stock, and doing the whole "battery stats" deal with the same results. No big deal, though. I'll flash 6 when I get home from work to see if there is an improvement. Besides, if I didn't have any issues, I'd have no reason to feed my insatiable flashing habit.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
Hebrew works out of the box in Froyo.

Just install AnySoftKeyboard from the market and the hebrew module and you will be able to type hebrew as well....
[Captivate Android Development] polo1000rr:
Seem to be having an issue here. And yes I used the search button and got no where. I installed the v2.1.7 and it seemed to work but i am still on the stock kernel. Shouldn't I see unhelpful's kernel?

The build number shows i have cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
No and No...

Adding languages is not in the scope of my project, I am going for performance.

deodexing will slow things down...
[Captivate Android Development] sairoland:
That stock 2.2 Android keyboard is broken as far as haptic feedback is concerned.

I would recommend installing the ported 2.2 DroidX Multitouch Keyboard... it works great, it's very fast, and haptic feedback works fine.

There is also a wide variety of color themes which is nice:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754948

I'm using wjdblue which has transparent background, black keys, white letters, and letters highlight in blue.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Try to flash again, and make sure you are using Rom manager/clockworkmod
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You will need to ENABLE haptic feedback for it to work, it is disabled system wide by default.

I wont be theming anything, I leave that up to the user.

--edit,

nvm, guess haptic doesn't work on it... I will wait for the final version of froyo, the android keyboard will be in there.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
If I had a camcorder I'd take a video of the lag fix providing improvements...

Unfortunately I don't. Anyone have one that's willing to install stock, run your apps, install lag fix and do it again? And do a side by side?

As too many have pointed out, launching the application isn't the problem with speed, the problem of speed is the performance WITHIN the application. The numbers posted earlier are pretty useless for this reason.
[Captivate Android Development] mircury:
Here is a tip that I am using that could help people that don't like the stock android lock screen because it doesn't have music controls. I prefer the android lock screen and what I do is have tasker disable the keyguard automatically when I open my music app and enable it back again when I close it. When I am exercising, I can change the volume and skip songs easily with the hard buttons when the screen is off or timed out without having to go through the lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Grab the one in post 2356. It does not break anything.
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
i can't even follow this thread anymore with the amount of stupid in it :/

great rom dg, everything works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
I'm also unable to use the Youtube app. I just don't understand why the browser would work, but none of the apps that require data will receive anything.
[Captivate Android Development] gleonard3:
How annoying that wired headset phone call audio works for some of us, and not for others. I'll be honest, I've put ZERO miles on the headset that came with the phone. Those are always trash in my opinion, though I will try it later now just to see. My quality third party headsets have always worked in 2.1, as has my 3.5mm cable to the AUX IN jack in the car.

Anyway, here's a snippet from the logcat generated when I attempt to use the headset in a call. I hope this can shed some light on it. Please let me know.

Force Close, not good, right?
[Captivate Android Development] mst252:
Wired Head set

I have read here where the wired headset does not function in phone mode. I have found that if I use the stock (I.E in the box) head set the phone and music apps work fine with beta 6 rom. My aftermarket sets do not. The only difference I see is that the stock head set has (3) small rings on the end. All of my aftermarket headsets have (2). Interestingly the music app works with all headsets. I can only assume that the outputs are some how not mapped the same in the phone. FYI everything worked fine with the stock rom. Anybody else noticed this?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
You mean a device that is BIGGER, and only does ONE thing, does that one thing better than the SMALLER device that does a HUNDRED things?!?!? SHOCKING!!!! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Im finally to this point in the thread and I am VERY happy you pointed this out. This to me is absolutely HUGE as it gives me yet another way to recover from issues when they occur. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] p4ranoid4ndroid:
I just tried to update to beta6 but in my about phone it still says im on beta5.5. What could i have done wrong? I odin flashed from the beta6 files.

EDIT: Just looked at my odin setup. accidentally set all the files to flash from 5.5 >.<

For real, you had to post that...come on now. I've used many smartphones in my life and GPS was just as good as my Garmin. You can't get around the fact that the GPS on this phone is crap.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Mine says beta6
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I saw someone post that their cell standby shows 50% time without signal (post was wondering if this was causing battery drain) and I had noticed this as well but reason is because uptime shows two times what phone has actually been on so just a miscalculation not your phone searching for a signal.....just an observation....
[Captivate Android Development] bmvik:
also I have to add that on my phone holding both volume buttons + power DID NOT take me to download mode (yellow triangle) BUT holding only vol down while plugging in usb cable did. (also vol down + power did work too). Also some instructions say plug in usb THEN start download mode up. In my case I had to start download mode THEN plug in usb - for my PC to finish installing the drivers needed.
[Captivate Android Development] ladiesgod:
please help me out with a simple yes it's a good idea, or no it won't make a difference???

I've used SEARCH....but since I'm apparently the ONLY one with these issues I'm 100% that nobody has asked this question before in regard to these issues I'm having.

Did you flash a different kernel like it says in the faq's? that is the error when using the kernel that comes from the leaked froyo.

really, dude?
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
1. Thank you DG. I donated a few bucks for a case of beer. I will make some other donation to other devs when I get home.

2. Damn Beta 5.5 is really stable. Thought I was going to hold onto it for a while but then beta 6 got that keyboard I want :(. I guess Ill flash it and holdon to that one!

3. Are you working on HSDPA or you and the other devs still waiting on the source code?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Well....now that would be too easy. I assumed since it rebooted after loading that was enough but NOPE! Sorry.

I did not install a kernal, I just installed the 5.5 firmware and it installed fine, however when I went to update as mentioned, I get the error

[Captivate Android Development] patterson12123:
so mobile ap is not working, i start a network connect and it says there is no internet connection, also if i try to access the market while on 3g and not wifi, i keeps on saying error, im sure i did something dumb such as didnt flash a kernel that i was supposed to but basically i just flashed 2.2 for the first time today, any help is appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] patterson12123:
btw, ignore my sig, ill change that in a bit, i dont use that phone anymore
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Cog 2.2 beta 5.5 won't work with Clockwork recovery. If you want Beta6, I suggest you make a back up with Titanium Backup and use the Odin Flasher version of beta6. It's by far the easiest way.

I have noticed that MobileAP takes a bit longer to kick in, but it does indeed work. It will say no internet access for a few minutes even sometimes, but after that, it kicks in and all is fine. Maybe you just need to give it a little more time.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
I have the pattern lock screen in 2.2. It's good.
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
I agree, and would really appreciate it if you incremented the version name somehow when updating it.
[Captivate Android Development] nicolasavru:
This was a known issue with the first Cognition 2.2 release and has since been fixed. Re-download Cognition and flash that, it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
Can voodoo lagfix be used with 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
where is the SL4A application? I only see OCLF (one click lag fix) app from Tat
[Captivate Android Development] Sportsguy15:
He updated Cog to use OCLF instead of SL4A.
[Captivate Android Development] ajmaness:
Can Someone test this for me

I am currently running the original leaked Froyo and loving it. I am interested in loading cog 2.2 but would first like to know if the following works on DG's latest rom:

Using the instructions in thread 672884 (just search the forums in xda and enter that number, it should be the first link) can a wiimote be successfuly paired with the WiimoteController app? The app can be found at the provided thread or downloaded from the market. Also, to avoid confusion, I know that a wiimote can be paired under "Bluetooth Settings," but I am specifically interested in whether it can be recognized using the mentioned app or something similar.

Anyone willing to test this for me?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
thanks, was confused for a little bit.

Take note that this 2.2 build is LOADS faster than stock 2.1 builds. You dont *really* need a lagfix.

I hope that highmem isn't enabled yet in this test build. I want my full 512mb available!
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
Great job dg just wondering if any one knew how to get that real calculator back?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Just went for a bagel run, tested GPS and Nav, both work great, didn't loose lock at all, while I was out.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
I looked at the FAQs. I am confused. Can I just reflash 2.2 with OCLF using Clockwork recovery? Or, can I just DL OCLF?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
OCLF is in the market, get it from there.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
I know,. I guess I wasn't clear. Do I need to reflash this 2.2 that ha he OCLF?
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
Have you donated your beer money to dg yet? do it!
[Captivate Android Development] drscws:
nevermind answered couple post up
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
I guess he took the other lagfix out and used OCLF. If you haven't used it, download it if you are already using COG 2.2, open the app, first do the Instal EXT tools, the lagfix 2.1+. You'll see a screen with a slider, it lets you determine how much file space you want for the lagfix, because before it used to use up a lot of space. Select how much you want and hit the button. If you don't have COG 2.2 yet, flash it then see if OCLF is in there.
[Captivate Android Development] shiftylock:
soooo, I followed the instructions given, and I keep getting rebooted to recovery mode. I can't even install the cog rom. I'm coming from the ota froyo kernel and I did the kernel swapping stuff and now it's stuck here. >_> I don't want to use one click to go back to stock, because I heard bad things can happen if you try to use it with a froyo build... ugh... now I have a lovely brick here. Can anybody help? :/
[Captivate Android Development] nicolasavru:
Is it safe to disable the SL4A lagfix and install OCLF without re-flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
I used one click to go back to stock, then somehow managed to get back to my last backup, which brought me back to COG 2.1.5. I then loaded 2.2beta and I haven't had any issues at all, battery life notwithstanding. In Rom Manager, make sure you flash Clockwork Recover, otherwise it's tempermental and doing what you just described.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Have you even READ the wiki/faq? I mean, seriously, the link is DIRECTLY ABOVE the link you clicked to download! This is why people get angry on these threads.....

And so you can't say i'm just a ranting **** who didnt help, UP UNTIL COGNITION V2.2BETA6, UPDATE.ZIP DOES NOT WORK ON FROYO!!!! Than means you can either ODIN up to beta6, or you can kernel swap and THEN run the update.zip. What you CANNOT do is go from beta5.5 to beta6 just by booting recovery and installing, WITHOUT kernel swapping
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Yeah I tried using the odin flasher, I load it up as per instructions, load all files connect usb, hit start and it just sits there with all tabs greyed out and does not seem to do anything.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
As someone else stated, Mobile AP takes a minute or two to kick in. After I choose "connect" on my computer I have to wait about a minute and a half for it to begin working fully.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Odin may not be seeing your device. Try a different USB port. Maybe try one in the back of your computer.
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Sorry if your frustated, but I'm completely new to this, I've only begun modding phones in the last two weeks, trying to learn, obviously going to make mistakes. And I did read the faq, but may have overlooked some things. Excuse my ignorance, just looking for some assistance.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
Dear RantingDick,

Ha, just kidding - dude you kill me. I hereby swear to follow the instructions, but can you explain why I could flash from 2.1.6 to 2.2B5.5 using ROM Mgr and Clockwork Mod, but cannot go from 5.5 to beta6? I would have guessed (because i don't know) that the beta6 package would also update the kernel again, as 5.5 did.

Thanks - and please don't hurt my feelings.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Are you sure your phone is in download mode? Do this if you haven't :

Disconnect your phone from PC and turn off.

Start Odin and set files where they should be.

Connect phone to PC and wait for green charging battery screen.

Press and hold both volume buttons and then press and hold power as well.

Keep holding until the AT&T screen comes up, and when it goes black after that screen let go of just the power button.

You should be in download mode and can click start in Odin.

If you have already tried this, I'm not sure what to suggest.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Because until now, RomManager was not supported by FROYO.... it WAS supported by Eclair, so that was why you were able to use it to move up to 2.2, and that also explains why you are not able to use it to move from a 2.2 build to another 2.2 build.
[Captivate Android Development] ademejia:
Does anyone have the Droid multi touch keyboard that will work with this rom. The one I have wont install anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Try to picture the point of view of those that have been here for a bit... reading a bit..... and posting the same answer over and over. So finally, people take initiative and write a faq, placed right on the page where the download link is. And still, the SAME question gets asked over and over, in the chat channel and in multiple threads on this forum. I bet if you went to google and typed "cannot update to froyo on captivate" it would take you to the 1000s of posts about it here, on these forums. Simply reading back the last 20 pages would probably also show this. Which also proves my point.

Sorry you were the one to catch the brunt of that rant. It's been building. I hope you succeeded in getting beta6 installed thru one of the methods described.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Seconded! Someone has it

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
Flashed 2.6 and

did not

restore all of my settings in TiBu. This seems to have fixed my issue.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
OMG... priceless =)

and i see that someone already explained the answer to your question, so I won't repeat.
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
Just FYI if anyone has the same problem I had when moving from 5.5 to 6. None of my apps except for my browser were able to communicate with the network. The upload arrow on the 3G icon would light up, but not receive any response.

I hopped into the chat with DG and turning on Airplane mode and then turning it back off again fixed the issue.

Once again, Cognition is the best thing to happen to the Captivate. Cheers DG. Money coming your way.
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Yes done all that, ID: COM is lit up yellow, it shows phone added, then Odin v.3 engine, Then File analysis...

Then sits and does nothing, I'm using Windows 7, hope thats not the issue ?
