does it work with beta 8? it's only confirmed working up to beta 6.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
The kernel/modem in my sig work FANTASTICALLY and provide very good battery life. Flashed over 2.3b8 without so much as a hiccup.

[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
OK, thanks! CogKernel4 was recommended because it uses the voodoo lagfix. Which does this kernel use, if any? [NOTE: I still consider myself a newbie on Android - been on it a few months, flashed ROMs a couple times but that's about it - so I'm sorry if this is elementary level...I realize it probably is for those who are experts.]
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
I think you're referring to the setup I explained that I was using. I'm back on full Cognition now, but I did run CogKernel4 with the jk4 modem on Cognition 2.3b8 for quite some time. Eventually though, I lost my cell connection which required a reboot. Some people have this problem, some don't. As far as cogkernel4, there are probably better alternatives now (no offense dg).

Realistically though, if you really want to try out an i9000 kernel and modem, the best route is probably to go with a full i9000 ROM. The other setup will work, but if the full i9000 ROM works, that's the best option. Perception is basically just an all i9000 version of Cognition...but with extras.
[Captivate Android Development] fadetoblack2104:
It does work with beta 8. Just download the one named Red_Soul[CoG][Rev2].zip (think its for b6 but it works). Here is the link if you want it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849019

I changed some of the files in the theme for myself to remove some of the blue that the OP of the theme didn't change (I'm running all red an black for my theme so the blue menu clicks and stuff like that looked kinda ugly). If you don't like the blue in the theme just send me a PM and I will send you the modded theme that I have.

cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/Email.apk

chown root.root /system/app/Email.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/Email.apk

exit

exit

adb reboot

I wonder if someone can point me to more detailed instruction as i am sure i have this problem and the solution,might work just not sure how to follow these instruction Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
What is the email "issue" accounts disappearing? I had that in the stock ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
speedmod supports etx4 (voodoo) filesystem. You should be able to flash it very easily from the recovery you access by holding the power button and choosing recovery (RED!! voodoo clockwork recovery). Download the kernel, flash, reboot. Recovery-reboot (should be green and say speedmod recovery now!) and flash your modem and enable the recommended tweaks and you're good to go.

Edit: Note: this is how I did it from v2.3b8. Results may vary.

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Cognition v3.0 is canned (for now), the rom I am working with is not 100% captivate after all.

The rom is still coming tho...
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
And the party is over.

;-)
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Perhaps this is as good a time as any to ask (and I've looked around, and found many varied viewpoints): what is the core difference between the Captivate and I9000 kernels? Is there an inherent advantage of one over the other on Cappys?

My Next Phone:

Motorola Atrix 4G

DG so you made a decision on your next phone! What made you pick the Motorola over the Samsung?:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] RyanFromQA:
That's too bad about Cog 3, but I just came in here to say thank you for 2.3b8 and the tireless hours of work you put into it.

I'm an Android modding n00b, and it was perfectly easy to get Cognition working on my Captivate. I tried rooting and removing AT&T bloatware, installing launcher pro, but my phone didn't really fly until I flashed your ROM. I have $5 left in my Paypal account, and I'm donating it to you to say thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Im still not 100% sure yet :)

Really depends on release dates now. It sounds like the Atrix is a ways out, they keep saying it will be released before the year is out. The Infuse seems like it could drop this month or next. So I may end up with both ;)

Captivate kernels have code to run the noise canceling chip, i9000 kernels do it all with software. TV Out doesn't work either... Lots of things have been fixed, like buttons, orientation, headset jack, etc...
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I got a new Cappy (Going to see if GPS is any better), well it's a refurb one, but looks like new. (Anyone know how you tell if it's a different production run?)

Anyway... My old one ran Cog just fine. This new one has crashed a few times (shut off).

Go figure. There's definitely some truth to the, "Every one is different" claim.

So I'll be trying out a different ROM until I find a stable one that doesn't suck battery so bad.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
The Infuse IMO is too freaking big.

I'm willing to wait for the Atrix. I think I'm done with Samsung. The Captivate was only what it was thanks to people like you!

And if you're hopping over it it, I know it'll have great dev supprt.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I am liking the Atrix for sure! Definitely on my list!
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
Hello

80% battery in 2hrs, is ok? using facebook, twitter, etc...
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
It will get better, mine was really bad when I first flashed. Make you do the battery reset process with deleting the batterystatus.bin made a differeance. Plus it takes a few days to learn the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
Oh thx! I deleted the batterystatus file and made the calibration process this morning... so now time to wait some days as you said...

best regards!
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
If you look at the tag under the battery you'll see a number something like "1006" or "1007". I think it represents the year and month that the phone was manufactured.

I have a 1006 which would be June of 2010.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Probably best to do a few full cycles. Mine is better but still not as good as stock. But I have a few things not set yet. Few things that for me made a big difference is Wifi on as much as possible if in range and gps off. Plus black backgrounds.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Actually, the Infuse is coming Q2 2011, and the Atrix is coming Q1 2011!!

Atrix it is!
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Would you be upgrading early? I am only 7 months in. :(
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
If I dont turn off the GPS and there is no app using it, makes any difference? I dont want to turn it off because my GPS is working damn well! (1006) :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I will probably buy it outright off contract.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Yeah, I saw that as well. I wouldn't count on it though. Count on Q2.

You as a Dev might jump on it but after the Captivate Lag/GPS fiasco I might let the Atrix "mature" a little bit for you devs before hopping on it right away.

That's what I was wondering.

I wonder how much I could sell the Cappy for and how much I'd have to pay for the Atrix. If it's sub-$200 (which means no new contract), I'd be on it.
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Sorry to be dense... were you saying that the above pertains to Captivate or I9000 kernals?

Either way... I (selfishly) hope you continue your fine work on the Captivate stuff, since I won't be getting a new phone anytime soon....
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I think it still uses a little. I usually turn it off. But I know what you mean after fussing with it and getting it working. I still think that the GPS is usable after a reboot delete data and then will eventually die again.
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Cognition 2.3b8 tweaks?

I've tried a few different ROMs, but like many, I keep coming back to Cog. However, DG said this AM that his work on Cognition v3.0 has stopped for now, and that it's not 100% Captivate. So, it looks like 2.3b8 will be the last "pure Captivate" rev of Cog for awhile.

So... for those of you that are running b8, what tweaks have you made, why, and how successful have they been?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I still have an update plan even without a new captivate release :)

[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Maybe I am a bit biased, but I'm hoping dg keeps in the Sammy family so that he won't forget about his Captivate fans when he moves on to deving for bigger and better things :D
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Why would you hope that? You hope for sub-par support?

Let's face it, if Samsung could release stuff faster we'd be able to advance faster.

No Froyo yet is so stupid- the rest of the world is getting Gingerbread and Samsung is still stuck on Eclair. Thank goodness for leaks.
[Captivate Android Development] kaizer915:
i just flashed to the latest cognition rom, was able to restore everything with titanium backup. however now i'm receiving a com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly error. Any ideas how to clear this? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
I think Samsung bit off way more than they could chew with the Galaxy S. If you look at all the simultaneous releases of the Galaxy S, the Nexus S, and all the others, you can tell they are going for new customer acquisitions hard and fast, but didn't take the time to think too much about keeping them happy once they got them (i.e. ongoing support).

Now the argument is that the average consumer doesn't care about what the latest food item (Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread) is on their phone -- so in the end Samsung may have the last laugh...

I agree that the cutting edge working that the devs do here are what keeps us afloat, but I wish Samsung would just at least meet us halfway (like fixing the damn GPS).

I think most of the folks here agree we couldn't care less about AT&T's crapware filled Froyo release -- we just want the final source code and modem so that the devs can have a decent FULLY functional release :)
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
Pinoymutt

+1 that!
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
That's exactly why I said, while devs have done a great job, Samsung's support would certainly go a long ways in moving things forward.

I'll be getting the Motorola Atrix, as long as the bootloader isn't locked down.

Hey, DG, have you heard about this from anyone BTW? It seems to be something Motorola likes doing.
[Captivate Android Development] jandrewmorrison:

I have options above such as rebooting and reinstalling packages. What am I doing wrong? I flashed back to stock (not master clear) before I did this. I also tried adding the "disable-lagfix" folder to the Voodoo folder on my SD card. It just sits there.

[Captivate Android Development] Blueback22:
What the heck?! Now I can't get back into Download mode to try this again???!!!
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Have you tried just rebooting? If that doesn't work, go into red Clockwork and clear cache & dalvik cache.

If that doesn't work, you may have restored a system data bit you shouldn't have...
[Captivate Android Development] jandrewmorrison:
"Wiped" cache from the red screen..... No Luck.

The phone doesn't know it's phone number anymore.

It received some text messages and a few missed phone calls since I flashed, but now appears to have decided not too anymore.

I'm on AT&T in Southern California, and flashed using clockwork instead of Odin.

The Error message is that "The process com.andriod.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then it gives me the option to force close, which kicks me off the cell network. It then finds the cell network and repeats.

Any other sugestions? Please....
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
There are a couple of folks who have tried this kernel with Cog, but be aware it's a i9000 based kernel so you have to use an i9000 modem for best results (TLJ3 I believe is the one I've seen thrown around).

Early feedback I heard was the voice over BT had a lot of static with this combo, which is a dealbreaker for me. However, if you can live with that, you may want to give it a whirl.

I'll probably wait around for Cog 3.0 -- if/when it gets released :D
[Captivate Android Development] Blueback22:
So I went in through recovery and installed the b8 .zip from the SD card. It looks like all is well on that front. I am not sure WHY I couldnt get back into download mode no matter what I did. I was trying to do a master clear.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
I am eagerly awaiting this release then! Any ideas on when we will have the pleasure of enjoying 3.0?
[Captivate Android Development] jandrewmorrison:
See posts 12528 and 12549

It seems the word is that 3.0 isn't a true Captivate ROM, and has been "Canned".

Dictionary on Android Keyboard don't work

I am having problems with the andoird keyboard included in Cognition 2.3b8. The dictionaries don't work only english.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
All I can suggest is to pull the SIM and SD card and reflash from scratch. I assume you have Titanium backups of apps and stuff. Don't restore your identity and stuff -- add your google account in manually after the reflash. Then restore user apps and user app data.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
So, I warranty exchanged my Captivate (GPS).

Isn't CWM supposed to be red if you have Voodoo Lagfix? Mine is green. Why is it green? I just installed b8 today.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Are you booting from ROM Manager or applying an update.zip?

Either would produce the green recovery.

You'll get the red if you boot into recovery through the power menu, 3-button method, or command line adb reboot recovery.

I don't use MMS but have read others in this thread that have changed the phone number format that corrected the issue. For others, they created a new APN and that fixed it for them. Search the thread and you should find both recommendations that worked.

Yeah same here ... my non-expert experience ( but facts don't lie) show on 4 drives over same route when speed is over 70mph.... with no case and battery cover OFF and the antenna's facing up ( screen down ) and the phone waaay out front under the windscreen, is the ONLY way to get lock. Oh and every hour have to delete GPS data too. This is a drive from LA to San Jose. Samsung you're damn lucky the screen is so big and bright!

[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Not certain, but wouldn't that be done through your carrier?
[Captivate Android Development] ageros:
Correct, call 611 on your phone(assuming you are the authorized user on the account) and request an MMS block from customer service. You can do this on all lines(family plan) or on individuals.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Perhaps, not worried about it personally. I told all my friends to not send them. :) I have email for that. More important is helping others fix the issue as it appears common with this ROM.

BTW, for those having MMS issues, I have seen two different formats for the phone number you should have... If I remember correctly after reading thousands of posts, one person said to use 1-xxx-xxxx and another said to add +1 in front... not sure if both have been tried? Please check that if you haven't already. Too lazy to search.

When you tried Cognition, was it straight up Cog or were you trying an alternate kernel? The sleep death issue can be confused with the charge death issue on some OCUV kernels. If you were trying a i9000 kernel/modem pair while on Cog, I would try Cog straight up stock and see if the issue manifests.

When you pick it up and it is dead, are you charging it at the time or no? Are you in a low signal strength situation?

It's really all about what filesystem the recovery has to read/write. The RED Voodoo recovery has ext4 support because that's the voodoo lag fix method. The stock green CWM Recovery that ROM manager uses doesn't, I don't think.
