So anybody played with the JL1 Rogers Captivate modem posted here? I've attached it as a Clockwork-flashable zip if anyone is interested.

DISCLAIMER: I don't have my Captivate handy and haven't tested the zip or modem myself. If it messes you up or causes your phone to explode, don't blame me.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Why did you switch to the Infuse, DG?

Seems the Atrix bests it. (except for the cameras).

When I tried it, it was straight up Cognition.

I don't recall a time when I was using it and it was plugged in and died, it always seems to be when sitting unused for awhile (that could be imagination because I obviously won't hear anything if it's off).

I tried Stock ROM for a day- worked fine.

Tried the new Serendipity ROM for a day- worked fine.

Might give Cognition another shot (Serendipity is sucking too much battery- seems DG is the only dev around that has this battery thing figured out).

Greetings

Hello. I'm having a hard time following the modem/kernel stuff. I recently flashed the captivate to Cog 2.3b8. Runs smooth but the battery drains too fast and the signal is significantly lower than the Eclair stock. I don't use the gps at all, I noticed it has to do with the data connection. If i turn it off the cel lasts for more than a day turned on. If i use data connection battery life decreases around 10% per hour or more. I recalibrated the battery same thing. Just want to know if I at least can run cog using the Eclair build modem/kernel. Kinda lost in here, dont want to go back to eclair. Thanks.

Strange vibrations

Ok, So I havent had time to read through all 1,200++ pages for an answer, so sorry if im reposting a question. After flashing a custom ROM (in this case latest cognition 2.3 b8) the phone will randomly vibrate (one short vib, three quick vibes) any ideas? similar situations?
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
I'm running cog 2.3b8 on my captivate.

Is the "pinch to peek" feature in the gallery working for everybody?

It's not really working for me. All it does is scroll through the first 3 or 4 pics and then the whole thing moves around with my finger.

Here's a vid of the feature I'm talking about:

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Sounds like you restored some system data.
[Captivate Android Development] mmcbowler10:
I did the restore to stock, master clear, then rooted, clockworkmod, and flashed the new rom. Once the rom is flashed it starts doing it vibrating thing on the boot up. I don't think i resorted any system data...as ive used this process loading many roms.
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
Any idea on when the next release will be?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
when people stop asking ;)
[Captivate Android Development] charmartist:
I used to like this ROM but never realized how much it killed my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
I hate FCs on startup. It doesn't tell you who done it. Restoring LauncherPro with data was what caused it for me. I deleted data, restarted and still had some for a few hours then it cleared up, but the first restart was good showing that was it. Either that or look for a service that's not running and should be or uninstall anything (3rd party) that does start on boot. If that doesn't work... reflash yet again.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
there is no battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
try the speedmod kernel with it.
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
Sorry, I'm just anticipating the new release with the new lock screens :D
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
gotta skip that feature for now, current methods arent working.
[Captivate Android Development] hd779:
Is the newest rom based on the roger's captivate 2.2 release?
[Captivate Android Development] sqweeto:
Are You Joking?

Out of all the current ROM's this is the only one that gives me a full day's worth of battery. I've been using Cognition from the start and recently strayed because it hasn't been updated for a little while. But I still come back to COGS because it is the most polished and most energy efficient ROM. Designgears is the friggen champ.
[Captivate Android Development] charmartist:
I really must of had bad luck then because cognition always drained my battery. I would always have to keep a charger next to me or limit my usage.

It couldn't have been an app either cause I backed up and restored all the apps I was using on Cognition onto the new rom. I may try it again in the future.

Hi guys,

Got my phone 2 days ago its now running this ROm through CLockworkRecovery.

4 Questions:

- Is that possible to have access to the ADW launcher settings?

- SMS send and receive properly but i dont receive them in the right order (wrong time) like the time zone is wrong !!! (5 hours diff, i live on the east coast of canada)

- Couldnt find any release notes for Cognition v2.3b8

- MMS i saw that there san error into the APN. MMSC is set to : http://mms.grps.rogers.com but its supposed to be: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com

Unfortunetly im not able to edit that ...may i have osme help pls?

I already got that on an old phone it was in the registry ..anyone?

thx, and good work for this ROM im trying it out to evaluate the battery tho.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Hey DG, oh, nevermind. :D
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
hey DG,

any thoughts on adding cifs.ko support to this rom???

edit... and is this really the only froyo rom not based on i9000???
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
There are some that are vibrant based or hybrids of vibrant and captivate. Also telus t959d roms. Also roms built off of an older 2.2 captivate beta. One being aosp-ish and was orrigonally a project started by dg with input from many. It has spun off into cronus and spaceman. And a rogers stock rom that is reportedly sluggish and gets a quadrant score about that of eclair :bleh: that may only be one persons experience though.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
don't get me wrong...I really like this rom....I have been using it for weeks and I am very happy with it. I don't like to OC my phones (or computers for that matter) and I prefer to stay with roms that are actually made for the device not ported to it from another rom.

it just seems that there is very little love in the captivate development fourms for actuall captivate based roms.

really the only thing I find missing in this rom is cifs support and the better gps that all the other roms seem to be getting lately (although I havent tested them yet)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I will see about having a second kernel option with cifs, its just a resource hog. As far as GPS, the next release should rock. It locked in a snow storm in about 5 seconds...
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
good to hear.... I thought I read that there wasn't going to be a new release.

not to get too off topic but ...

I have a bit of android experience including building custom kernels.

I have just recently (past month or so) moved to the captivate.

I was just wondering where the sources are???

sorry if I missed it but I am failing to find any repos.

If I had the source I would just make a cifs version myself instead of troubling you for it...
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
DG,

Looking forward to some Cog-Love. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
+1

Nothing seems to make my phone respond better, have better battery life and just overall keep any "residual issues" from occuring than doing these steps everytime i flash a new rom. IMHO starting from scratch is a small price to pay to get that 'new phone' feel everytime i start over ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
id interject here about having a wife and kid but then again she does seem to get frustrated when she has to use my phone on rare occasions and KNOWS ive been up late at night messing with it the night before :D

Actually i will admit i really like the current build of cognition. i posted before but everything still just feels really right. I 'think' if we could get hsupa somehow added id probably just sit tight...well...at least thats what i keep telling myself right now:p
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I forget who posted it, because I read it awhile ago, but I think I remember reading that the hazards of ext 2 lagfixes is that it shortens the life of your internal. SD card. I don't know how or, why, as I am not that technically inclined LOL. But I do remember readng that somewhere in the captivate forums. Where as ext. 4 lagfix ( like voodoo) is less harsh on the phone. I wish I could remember where I read it though. Someone please correct me it m wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I've tried everything and the battery life on 5.5 just doesn't compare to previous versions. I've even gone so far to flash the phone both ways to see if it was a fluke. Master cleared, repartioned, and tried every tip on this board and it just drains quickly. What's odd to me is that people are posting the amazing battery life on 5.5 and mine drains like never before. I can go back to beta 4 and its awesome again so its not the battery.

Hopefully beta 6 will be magical again for me :P

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not saying you are wrong but it is difficult to read and try every possible post here simply because there are so many. I would just like to point you to what I have done and I couldn't be happier with the results. Please pay special attention to not loading anything not necessary on this procedure before you test the results. Do not load lag fix, or anything else until you test things as vanilla as possible. If things are great, start adding things one at a time and test again. I find it hard to believe that if everyone follows the same procedure with a vanilla install on the same phone that the results will be that drastic. Don't take shortcuts!

But, does OCLF correct the occasional freezes?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedStyx:
From what I've read it's actually the other way around. However the MoviNAND has wear leveling so you will likely have got a new phone before it becomes an issue.

No problem using SWM on mine....

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
When using odin to flash to beta 6 do you check repartition or not? Just curious as when I flashed to 5.5 with odin last time I didn't check repartition and it left oclf installed
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
For gosh sakes man, there's a pic included in the zip file. Make your Odin screen look like that one, your locations may be different, but other than that they should've the same.

As far as lagfix you should disable/undo any lagfix before updating.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Beta 6 faster than any other beta so far... Thanks again.....
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
I just installed the Cog beta 6 version with odin. I noticed all files say 5.5 and after its installed Moxier is still there even though DG says it was removed in the change log. Are these still the beta 5.5 files? Not seeing any differences between the 5.5 version I was running and the new beta 6 posted version.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Move installation issues and bug reports??? I think that is what this thread is for. If feature requests are moved how would dg know about them.

If anything, posts regarding applications that happen to be included should be moved.
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
What is ------ /data/app for odin flasher, put on sdcard, install with My Files

?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
did you used odin one click to go back to stock? or just flash over with the odin installer? sounds like residual stuff from 5.5 left over. could be wrong though. maybe a master clear will help?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Of course now that Beta 6 is out, this post may be moot, but I figured I would post it anyway:

My battery has also been draining faster than normal with 5.5, and yes, I always go through teh process of recalibrating my battery.

This morning I noticed a few things that are giving me an insight into the issue:

First, AT&T's address book feature was constantly trying to sync and was failing. I did not know how much it was running until I looked at the logs. Every 10 minutes AT&T address book recorded a sync attempt. I turned off sync for that in the contacts settings, ssothius should not be an issue now.

Secondly, when I looked at my battery usage this morning the cell standby process had leapfrogged the display. My time without signal was 50%, which will really eat up battery time. I did not have this with other builds, so I am thinking that the radio driver was swapped out to something that does not work as well. I don't know if the radio is in the kernel or the base OS, so I don't know if beta 6 will fix this, but I will give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedStyx:
It's just optional apps like Titanium, Rom Manager, etc. Just copy the apks to the sdcard and install with the "My Files" app if you want them.
[Captivate Android Development] the.dude.abides:
Yes please! "sub-threads" would be good. trying to keep up!!
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Bit harsh dude did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Go take a chill pill.

The lagfix was in regards to voodoo and not OCLF from what I understood.

I had no issues with the lag fix and b5.5. I was actually commenting on the fact it went a way in b6 flash and stayed in b5.5 flash. And yes I had odin setup the way the pic was even though I never saw the pic.
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
Ahhh, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
I just master cleared,one clicked and then beta 6. in the/settings/about phone the software version is 5.5 and looks no different to me than beta 5.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I've seen this asked a few times, but not yet addressed. Is there any way to switch back to the default email client? This AOSP email is giving me all kind of problems to the point it's not usable. I would love to switch back.

Might try to redownload as i think you may have gotten an early copy perhaps. just checked and im showing beta6 in my build number:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I'm not getting any haptic feedback with the android keyboard - I went into the settings as well and turned vibration on, yet still doesn't work.. Was this turned off in the script somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
When you unzipped the Odin beta6 when you went to add the files did you accidentally choose the ones from the previous Odin zip package? I had both unzipped and when I ran the Odin file from the 6 one when I added the files it started to do it from the older one.

Hope that makes sense.

To the other person that asked if I woke up on the wrong side:

No. I've been up all night working, but thought it was amusing that DG put a pic in the zip package and someone still had to ask a question. I didn't think I was that harsh either. No caps. No exclamation points. Just a 'for gosh sakes'. I'd hate to see what you think is extremely harsh. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
"For gosh sakes man, there's a pic included in the zip file." that sounds to me as frustrated and harsh but then again that is imo

Did you ever think that someone may not have noticed the pic in the zip file and asked an honest question. Its not like repartitioned has been asked a lot in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
Yes.....haptic feedback on keypad is deactivated by default....dunno how to activate it though
[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
Just installed Beta 6.. First impression - Very Leafy! =)

After initial media scanning complete, it's snappy! Very snappy!! Coming from Beta4. Connected to my Enterprise WiFi network with no problems (Beta4 wouldn't let me connect for some reason)

Now just need to install TiBu and restore apps. But so far looks great!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
weird. that is beyond my scope of knowledge. I'lll leave that one to the pros so i dont mess you up
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Well its not enbaled with the android keyboard at all even when you enable it in settings>sound>feedback>haptic feedback.

I am using smartkeyboard pro and it works in that.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedStyx:
GPS is working great with beta 6 (well as great as you could expect)
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Did you ever think that all I said was for gosh sales man?

Oops I see it is you that asked. Sorry if I seemed harsh. Is that better now? :)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
oh. I know haptic is turned off by default (turn haptic on by going into the sound settings) - But the actual keyboard (android keyboard) itself does not have the vibration on key presses
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yeah I miss the haptic feedback as well. Been that way since before it was included in Cog.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
That most likely is the issue.

When you open ODIN and begin to add files, the folder selection will default to the last folder in which you selected files... which is most likely the 5.5 PIT, PDA, CSC and PHONE files.
[Captivate Android Development] Faux_ghost:
since installing this my wifi doesnt connect, it will just authenticate and loop back to connecting
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
alright, I hate to ask this, but since 2e recovery is back this means that we can use clockwork to flash and do nand back ups correct?:D
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
Thanks, thats exactly what it was. :D I just assumed running the odin with that package grabbed from there.
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
I'm backing up and getting ready to flash beta6. I read the changelog and for what it's worth...I really liked Moxier World. Sad to see it removed. :)
[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
Just re-install it from the Market.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Flashed 5.5 last night, and since the 6.0 changelog doesn't address these bugs:

Turning bluetooth off gives the persistent remote sim notification

Haptic feedback is strange...the soft buttons feel right, but haptic on the screen is VERY weak

I think a lagfix is necessary, but not wanting to fuel that fire, I'll give it a few more days

On the other hand:

GPS works F-A-S-T

Connecting to my google account automatically synced up my picasa albums, that never worked in eclair

Froyo is way better than eclair :)

Yeah after I wrote that I thought "uhh duh!"...and just backed it up individually on TiBu lol

Restore back to stock with 2.2B6 and CWM?

I'm relatively new, but have been following for a while (and I did some reading before posting as well).

With the new 2e recovery in Cog2.2B6 and CWM, can I restore to a CWM backup I did that is 2.1JH7 (stock)?

Ideally I'd like to try out 2.2B6, but am nervous about using Odin to go back to stock, and would like to be able to take the "easy" way back to stock once the official 2.2 build is out.

So I guess my main question is - with 2.2B6 can you use CWM to go back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 ROM's without Odin or kernel swapping?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
huh?

Why are you nervous about using odin to go back to stock? I've done it countless times, it's extremely easy.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
I don't know why you would be nervous about Odin. It's pretty painless... especially the one click... seriously... just one button click :D

But to answer your question... since 2e recovery is enabled on 2.2b6 yes you would be able to nandroid back to whatever you wish

[Captivate Android Development] justflorin:
To this i answer with a question...why r u on a developers section of the site if your afraid to mess with your phone?

Stop cluttering up the forums and do it...worse case scenario you have to go back to stock anyway.

Sorry, bad morning so far...
[Captivate Android Development] sjroberts98:
Part of it is time - I have 4 kids under the age of 4 at home (4, 2, and 2 month old twins), and get very little time to sit at my computer and "play" without extra hands trying to help me out. The CWM method means I can do it on my phone and worry less about little fingers pressing buttons at an inopportune time.

The other is simplicity - I have a backup of my phone post-OTA, and would like to try the official release when it comes out. With CWM I can quickly go back to JH7 and save a few steps.

I admit it is just preference on my part, and I really do appreciate all the work the devs on the forums put in. Hope is doesn't come off as whining, apologies if it does.

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
Ah ha~ I get it. I personally don't have any children to worry about.. but can understand how hectic it must be for you. Well good luck with your nandroids!
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Because of the way DG puts the default wallpaper in, I would have to remake the mods every time he changes the default. If you want it back you can always change it of course. Go into your Cog.zip and extract the original framework-res.apk and inside that (with winzip, 7zip, whatever) you can find the wallpaper at /res/drawable-hdpi/default_wallpaper.jpg.
