I don't want to get into a debate about it, but how do you explain scores varying as much as 200 points, minutes apart from each other on the same phone with the same software?

I've seen it happen and it's a testament to how poor a benchmark Quadrant is.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Can anyone please post a link to 2.3b?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I've been reading in this thread about how Quad scores don't mean anything on the Captivate. Well, that's true, if you're comparing scores of different phones with different hardware. However, two different scores on the same phone from two different ROMs can show a correlation in performance in a relative sense, given a margin of error. So don't write off Quad completely.

I agree...while the score itself may not be accurate, Benchmark scores can certainly be used as a ballpark measurement against other ROMs. If ROM "A" gives me one score and ROM "B" gives me 500 points higher, then ROM "B" is producing less lag.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I'd be interested in the frameworks, did you make a flashable zip? PM me about it if you would.

Also, I thought "Team Whiskey" drank Jameson :cool:.

I don't think TiBu has a batch option to restore without data, but please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to rectify my display settings issue so I can change fonts. You can either:

1. Restore missing apps with data

2. Restore missing apps + all system data

3. Restore newer versions of user apps (maybe it's this one? I've never used it.)

4. Restore all apps with data

As I said, if I'm doing something wrong feel free to PM me, I can't keep up with every post in this thread anymore, it's become a monster.

I'm curious if any of you folks having problems are reading all posts since 2.4 released. I notice especially that I and a couple others have posted a couple times about using the Jupiter Files and your GPS likely will improve.

I've seen a couple mention that they did and it helped, but I keep reading those who say it isn't working and no mention that they are using Jupiter files. By the way for this ROM, you what Jupiter6.

I won't clutter up the thread with this info any more, but here it is one last time. (If I see that it is not working for anyone, I'll recant :) )
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I'd like to have your mod. Can you post it?

[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Seriously?...the first thing you should suggest is making sure that stuck means more than a few minutes as voodoo converts fs then try three buttons held until reboot. If that does not help then three buttons til att screen to reboot into recovery where adb is enabled.

I would also suggest using adb logcat while phone is booting to see if it is locking up or if patience is needed.

Odin should not always be the first resort...;)
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
How do we verify if voodoo is working?

I forgot to disable before flashing, but I flashed back to JF6 first and then master cleared and then flashed cog2.4.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
1 did you hear voices on first boot?

2 run a quadrant score, anything 1200+ is a good indicator.

Do not post your score

3 there is a way to check you filing system in terminal emulator I beloved but I am not sure how to

[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Look for the Voodoo folder on your sd card. If you see it, then chances are it's enabled. To further verify, tap on the Voodoo folder, then tap on the logs folder. If there's information contained in the Voodoo logs folder, Voodoo is enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I forgot to disable Voodoo once, and when I flashed back to stock, it was the FASTEST stock I had ever seen...lol
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Hmm My home screen works in landscape....

Voice mail notifications do not work... (hope I don;t have o burn another ROM to see a fix for that) LOL

GPS same....Battery same

Battery and GPS are subjective to individual expecations so I don;t place much creedence in the varying complaints. As long as it locks it works.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I absolutely agree with this comment.

There are several factors to the quadrant score, and what i find is most affected is the read/write, which you can notice on quadrant, stock rom vs oclf vs voodoo vs setiron's kernel

I would prefer to see a graph broken out on the individual tests and one can compare phones based on what you are interested in.

But I do think the overall the actual quadrant number doesn't mean much, but the comparative results on the same phone give you an idea of the affect of a particular kernel or lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
Haha thanks, trying to provide help wherever I can (mostly regurgitating what I've seen elsewhere) and very happy to learn.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
Download and install Root Explorer from Android Market, you'll see it then. The point is it's there if you know where/how to look for it Unless of course you don't use any other email accounts except your gmail, then you're in the clear.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I don't know about others, but I did not use the solution because I feel that this ROM messed up my GPS and I am not convinced about Jupiter files solution. Search for Vibrant GPS fix and you will see why GPS has stopped working for folks with 2.4.

I feel like I've gone back in time on these LBSTest posts. It's been known on the Captivate for a looooooooong time that supl.google.com and associated settings appear to have a positive impact.

Case in point, I just updated my LBS settings and saw an improvement in Maps locating me (off target/no lock/200m accuracy vs. on target/locked/15m). I am planning on applying the Jupiter fix later as well to see if that works (however, anyone applying Jupiter tweaks MAKE SURE to back up your current settings for ease of restore).
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Fix your T-Mobile Vibrant GPS issues:

1. Disable “Use Wireless Networks”

1. Navigate to Settings > Location & Security > uncheck the box next to “Use Wireless Networks”

2. Go to the phone and dial *#*#1472365#*#*

1. This step throws you into LBSTestMode menu

3. In the LBSTestMode menu change “Operation Mode” to MS Based

4. In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl)

5. REBOOT

6. Enable “Use Wireless Networks”

* Navigate to Settings > Location & Security > check the box next to “Use Wireless Networks”

Should you want to revert back to your original GPS settings, you’ll need to re-enter you factory specs:

Original settings:

Operation Mode: Standalone

SERVER: www.spirent-lcs.com

PORT: 7275

For some reason this VM indicator thing is driving me nuts. Not nuts enough to flash another rom though :p.

Is this a universal bug or do some users not experience this? I didn't flash back to stock (as suggested), I used CWM from 2.3b3.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I have Quadrant Pro(mostly for reference, I don't trust it). It breaks it all down by CPU/Memory/IO/2D/3D in the results. Where I see the biggest gains in 2.4 are when it runs the I/O portion of the test.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
Is root explorer free?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

I set up Google voice and now I am getting notifications through its system. Works for me. Worth a shot it is free, a little confusing to set up but not too bad

[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
No its around $4.00. Super manager is a free alternative but most prefer root explorer.

Thanks, I took this advice. It was a little tricky to set up but I'm starting to like it. I'll use this until a solution is found.
[Captivate Android Development] Mercath:
Maybe I'm going blind or something, but I could swear the colours in 2.4 seem...washed out, compared to prior builds. Especially the default icon for contacts, it seems more brown than orange now.

Is it just me?

Edit: Also noticed this ROM doesn't seem to automatically link contacts from different sources; having to manually link Facebook/gmail contacts is a pain. Feature or just my ignorance at play?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
^^^^^ +1

LOTS of threads and discussions about all the LBSTEST stuff, and in the end, it almost always does not continue to work, given time.

That may be the case for Jupiter too...but I can say it worked while I was on 8.1, and has worked since I put it on 2.2b2 (which I am still on). I use GPS every time I drive just to get the miles/time test on it. About 250 miles, and 10 days for me at this point, and working very well. (Does occasionally take a couple minutes to lock...and another 3-5 minutes to settle down to no blue circles).

Anyone not wanting to try it, and chase LBSTEST, its fine with me.

Interestingly, there was a post on Twitter by Samsung last week that they had verified that the GPS is fixed on the about to be released 2.2 update. Let's hope.

Thats the same things mentioned so many times for Captivate. Nothing new if you've been really following GPS issues for Captivate.

As far as testing 2.4, I'm reading every post here for a while and see what flushes out to be problematic. Sounds like there are a couple things that are in fact problematic, even with the complete, thorough routine followed to implement.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
GPS is a little worse than before, but as far as I know LBSTest is just that - a test. changing parameters there doesn't equal changing global GPS parameters on the phone.

So does root explorer see more files than astro. Shouldn't? I still be able to see what's in /data in astro!?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Thank you for you comment. I am not going to dwell on this in this thread anymore after this response as it is not an issue with the ROM that DG has provided however, this is a huge security issue that people need to be aware of. Anytime you see your password saved in clear text should concern anyone and it is just a matter of time before it is exploited. Root or not, the password should be hashed. It is shocking to me that this was reported months ago to Google and not corrected.

Voice dial works through the handset and starts with BT button, but doesn't seem to hear through the BT mic. It's an improvement, since I couldn't even get it to start before.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Dont have much experience with Astro but from what I understand it doesn't give you read/write access, only read for system files.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
DG mentioned earlier in the thread that odin was having some problems that he was having to figure out. Not sure how long that will take. I have always flashed with clockwork and never had any problems so you might as well learn it for times like this when odin is not available lol
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Say, try this: let's say you are hooked up, and going, and press teh BT key and it comes up, but doesn't hear you. Turn off BT from the Notification Bar, and back on (w/o turning off your BT device). Then try again.

I've found that works for me on Vlingo in an earlier ROM; and I have since found then that if I run Vlingo IN-Car first, then turn on BT on the phone (with it on my headset first) it works. Go figure.

I'm experiencing the exact opposite. I do leave my packet data on GSM only, but I don't that is enough to account for the fantastic battery life I'm getting. I think it's from a well designed ROM running a baseband made for Captivate.

Basic trouble shoot.

Make sure data is enabled

Try turning on airplane mode.

Some have manually configured apn settings.

Easiest thing is to reflash. Make sure sim is out when you flash. Disable lagfix before you do so

It shocks me too. I agree and I'm not trying to go off topic so forgive me but I consider Google to be poor at security - Google Chrome also does not encrypt saved passwords and just last week I visited a... less than reliable web site... and a browser exploit in Google Chrome left my netbook destroyed by a virus. Browser exploits are so 1990's. Again, not trying to go off topic, just supporting your point that Google is poor at user-end security.

The last time i've flashed (for daily use) a Cognition ROM, it was 2.2 Beta 7.. Since then, i was using an (some kind of) AOSP ROM/MOD, i9000 ROMs, etc..

The reason was an issue with the received and sended SMS order. My received SMS were placed backwards than the sended! Received SMS about 3/5 minutes delayed than the sended..

Today, i had an idea. Replace the SMS app (mms.apk) from Cognition with the other from the AOSP ROM.

Now, i've my SMS ordered and without any timestamp issue :D And running Cognition 2.2 2.4!

Purchase Titanium Backup and use that to back up apps when you get ready to flash then you can restore them all at once.

disable the lag fix but make sure to reboot before you install 2.2, or else the lag fix will not take effect. sure you can delete the entire voodoo folder. why not just back up data, pictures etc. flash to stock 2.1 via odin (prly not necessary since you're already on 2.1) then do a master clear and have a fresh clean phone that will soon have 2.2 on it?!
