Coolio yo.

Nice ROM, really different, I am guessing because of the Vibrant stuffs. Only had it going for like 30mins but I just wanted to report that the APN Settings have to hand entered again. Could it be because when I install the ROM, I choose to clear data, cache and whatnot when I do install a new ROM? I unno, off to class. Just thought I would report. Thought it gathered those setting from the SIM or something.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
from your question I would say the "safest" way for you is to remove your SIM and SD card........Master clear, go back to stock using Odin 1 click .. Root, install Rom Manager and install the ROM from Rom manger. Yes you WANT to wipe out your internal SD...So back up any folders with data you want (like TiBu back ups ,Pics, ringtones from Zedge etc)

I borked my phone last night doing something I had no business doing replacing Framework-res.apk and TW as an experiment....LOL and had to go back to stock and begin again..all is well now but that's what happens when I don't know exactly what I am doing. And I have loaded every single ROM update on this thread..I just don't have the hang of customizing those ROMS myself changing notification colors and battery mods.......and I think I will stay away from that...LOL

Can't change voicemail number?

Hey guys,

Is it just me or are you guys able to change your voicemail numbers in Cog v2.4? My options for both "My Carrier" and "Google Voice" are both grayed out, so I can't change them manually...

Question:

In rom manager the first entry is for flash CWM recovery it asks for hardware.

I assume even with this vibrant rom I select captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Yes, in CWM you select the phone you have, not what phone the rom came from.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Replacing Framework-res.apk? :eek: Oh, that'll end well. :rolleyes: :p

US At&t 3G settings.

My apologies to those of you who find this question tedious. I honestly tried to find the answer through the past 25 pages.

Cog v2.4 installed and perfection.

I cannot for the life of me get my 3g data working. I tried every reboot, SIM no SIM, re-register on the network, etc.

I am registered on At&t's network but EDGE only. 3G will not enable.

Any Ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Always a good idea to back that up before you play with that file.
[Captivate Android Development] Jhors2:
How did you install?? Did you do a master reset and set back to stock first? Always advised to do this. Also did you wipe data and clear the cache in when you installed via Rom manager? Just a place to give you a start, this is typically the culprit.

Quickoffice

I am running Cognition v2.4 which I flashed yesterday. It looks great but I did notice that the full version of Quick Office is not included. If I download it from the Market it is not the editable version. Can this not be added back? I love DG's work and he is a genius. Took a little getting use to this one but love it so far. :)
[Captivate Android Development] slappyjoker:
Yes, Yes and Yes.

I have tried everything.

1. Tried clockwork update from 2b3 (worked, no 3g)

2. Flashed back to stock ODIN style (thank you DG)

3. Flashed up to 2.2/5.5. (just testing the waters, worked)

4. Flashed to 2.2/9.1 ODIN style (worked fine)

5. Clockwork to 2.4 (still no 3g)

P.S. I cleared data and cache each flash.

I am stuck. My 3g is the only thing not working with this particular version. Every DG/COG I have updated to has worked just fine.

Will do. Wasn't sure if that was too big of a jump from stock or not. Some ROM's have all 4 files for ODIN, this one had two.....didn't want to get too big for my pants.

Will update. Thank you for the quick replies.

[Captivate Android Development] catman2005:
Hi everyone, I hope I will not get too many people mad but 2.4 didn't do it for me.

GPS problems, missing Daily Briefing widget, missing the lockscreen, jittering on video playback....not sure why yet so I went back to 2.3b3.

2.4 it is faster than 2.3b3...this is a correct statement, I saw the difference.

But, my question....I use Exchange email and the email app from 2.4 it has the "Out of Office" feature that works great with Exchange 2007. Can I get that from the 2.4 ROM? and overwrite the one I have in 2.3b3 with RootExplorer? Are we talking a different email.apk from 2.4 to 2.3b3?

Otherwise 2.4 is an awesome ROM.

Appreciate the help!
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Daily Briefing widget works only with touchwiz
[Captivate Android Development] johnny13oi:
Is the speed difference perceived based on the scrolling on the home screen and app menu? Because even with 2.2 9.1.3 I get amazingly smooth scrolling when I use Launcher Pro. Maybe people are just used to the regular Samsung Launcher in previous builds and is trying out the new launcher for the first time therefore assuming this new speed is attributed to the rom but when in fact it's just a different launcher. Try the new launcher in an older rom and you will see it is super smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
How's reception where you work? Could be searching for a signal often?

Do you use WiFi or 3G at work? From my understanding WiFi uses less power than 3G
[Captivate Android Development] catman2005:
Is the speed difference perceived based on the scrolling on the home screen and app menu?

YES.

I did replace the email.apk from 2.4 to 2.3b3 and I do have the "Out of Office" feature now. Great.

"johnny13oi " can you point me to the new launcher please. I would like to try that on 2.3b.3.

One more thing....it's easy to go back without reflasing?
[Captivate Android Development] artisticcheese:
Are settings preserved between ROM upgrades?

How do you guys keep flashing new ROMs which appears to be released every week and deal with resrtoring everything you have installed to working order? It takes me half a day to go back where I was after ROM flash at least.

GPS working?/

How did you get the GPS working? I have tried many changes in this rom but this is the worst I've seen the GPS. I've tried many other roms and some actually fix/allow the GPS to use up to 10 sattelites. They usually had different modems (think that's the right designation).

With this rom, everything works great EXCEPT the GPS. No lock after many minutes and only one or two satellites seen.

Can this rom use other (modems)?

Again not sure if that is correct, shows as baseband version in settings-about-phone.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
UH,,,no it didn't

I copied the old files to a folder on the ex SD...copied the custom fils to the System/framwork and FC started happening right and left...LOL I may have inadvertently done something else or maybe one has to "install" rather than just copy,,in any case i rebooted and was stuck on the COG screen with FCs happening in the BG

Decided to go into DL mode and reinstall Stock....set USB debug and Master clear reinstalled stock again and used ROM manager to get back 2.4..

When I heard the Voodoo lady I know I was going to be just fine,,,,,,

needless to say I ain't messin with the innards of the ROMs......no moe

The Mobile AP feature seems to be broken in 2.4. There's now a notification at the top saying you need to subscribe to the feature from ATT (no way in hell I'm paying for that), and I can't connect to it from my laptop, even when I turn off WPA2.

[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
Before reflashing, just simply try going into APN under network settings and either search for networks or manually enter in the ATT (or whatever) info. May as well try the easiest solution first. :)

On the GPS note... I think cnewsgrp made his point that the settings appear to be different on 2.4 vs previous. Let DG interperet that as he would like but all the GPS arguments ("Get a Tom-Tom" vs. "It was advertised"), please take to another thread. This is exactly what I was hoping to avoid seeing. 790ish pages now... don't need 20 dedicated to rehashing that the Captivate GPS is less-than-stellar.
[Captivate Android Development] fritzgerald:
Anyone have an idea why when I flash the HSUPA kernal I get slower speeds then when I have the included kernal? Am I correct to say that the HSUPA kernal just enables the option to use HSUPA?

Nope nope; like I said, can't get into Download or Recovery using the buttons. I've had to use ADB since I got this new phone, in order to get into those modes.

Contemplating returning it since the screen on this phone has much warmer color than my first Captivate...and not having the ability to get into Download/Recovery with the button combos is annoying.

I'm just worried they'll hear the scary robot lady and not take it back. Haha. Then again, I'm going to assume they're probably not familiar with that the robot lady voice means.

[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
Sorry if this is a newb question, let me know if I should post somewhere else...

I've flashed a few different SRE/Cognition ROMs. 1.3.1 was great, and 2.1.3 gave me the battery issues, so now I'm on 2.1.4 with Voodoo back on. Still having battery issues but need to fully charge and wipe battery stats to get a good idea. Either way I love the fact that there are dedicated people here trying to make my phone even better than it was when I bought it.

Anyway, the question: I've seen all over that DG's ROMs include "USB tethering." That is the main reason I've rooted and flashed. But as of yet I've never found any explanation of how to do it or any way to enable it on my Captivate. Even the OP to the SRE thread just links to the MobileAP thread to explain USB tethering. I do not have the USB tether option when I plug in USB. I've used MobileAP to tether wireless, but I'd like to USB tether. I've searched this and other forums many times, but can't find any explanation of how to USB tether.

What am I missing?

At first it drained 30% in two hours on beta 4.

What I did is use root explorer to delete data/system/batterystats.bin then I turned the phone off and let it charge to full that way and when it was done I turned the phone back on and got the amazing batt life that was in the screenshot.

Also I should note that before beta 4 I never had to delete the batterystats.bin file and it never drained on me but for whatever reason I had to this time around

Thank you for that reply. I did try that as well, I toggled and searched my brain into a tizzy. Hence finally making my first post ever :-P.

This may or may not make sense to anyone but I tried one thing different this time.

The previous 3 times I was flashing back to stock using

JI6-OCD-REV02-designgears. (Never got 3g when flashing up to 2.4)

This time?

CJF6-final-OCD-REV0. (Worked! IT WORKED!)

I do not know if it was just a koinkidink.....but I do know that the one that didn't ever work quite right flashes to a 3e recovery version of 2.1 as opposed to the one that worked which appears to be 2e recovery version of 2.1.
