Hmmm, on second thought the only minor issue I have is that the battery IS being used fast.

I was playing with the phone for 25 min this morning and battery dropped by 25%.

Normally it would drop 5-7%

But I have a spare battery so no dramas :)
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
There's something else going on here...I have numerous email accounts all auto-synching, as well as Facebook, Twitter, and Executive Assistant synching all my email account separately (it does not integrate with the native apps so they all have to be setup independently). I also have Weather Toggle that refreshes weather stats every 30 minutes. But I'm running 2.1 Eclair with DG's Cog 2.1.6, and battery life is phenomenal. It'll get figured out, I'm sure.

Thanks for replying, however, I am searching for a prior build (2.2b9.1.3).

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I spent a couple weeks reading 100's of posts before opening up my phone to flashing...I suggest you start by reading and reading more...

I have never had an issue flashing ROMS....NEVER. I believe this is because I have read every possible post and issue and followed directions explicitly and understand at each step what is taking place. If i did not understand it completely i did not flash....I never did any lag fixes until they were in the ROMs I have never flashed anything I did not understand......so i stick with Cogs.

Read and read more.....and you will not have to worry about making a mistake that will cause more issues. This is not a place to take shortcuts (unless you can afford another device)
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
my only question to this is removing the Sim card . this is relatively new to me. I never used to remove the sim card before, and never had any issues with flashing. now everywhere i look it says remove sim before flash , which is fine. do we remove it when we flash to stock with odin as well? or just when you are flashing a new rom. i am confused as to when to re insert the sim card ... after everything is flashed and running i assume? but i dont like assumptions cause thats when my phone melts in my hand cause i did something wrong. just confused.... looking for guidence:)
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
AFAIK, the SIM should be removed during any and all flashes, because in order to get to the download mode all cards (SIM, SD) must be removed. I keep the SIM out until I'm done installing everything. It goes in when I'm ready to get online to the market.
[Captivate Android Development] TheChefSLC:
I have flashed my phone many times without taking the sim or sd card out of my phone.

I am able to get into recover to flash with CWM and able to get into download mode for odin.

To get into download i just turn the phone off. load up odin and get it ready to hit start, hold down the volume buttons and insert the usb cable.

I have yet to see any isues having my sim/sd cards inserted.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
HERE you go ODIN

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I used to leave my sim in. Then on beta 6 I started to get some random FC on boot:-) started flashing with sim out and that stopped. Can not say for sure there is a direct cause and effect but it is the only thing I changed

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
It is a good idea to remove your SIM and SD card until the very end of the flashing process..you DO NOT want an incoming call or message while flashing a SIM. Best be safe and take them out. You are flasing your phone not your SD or SIM card.....Talking the SIM card out ensures you won;t get any interference while flashing a ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] mousavinia:
:) flashed 2.3b2 last night, been off the charger since 8 am this morning, with normal use, battery is at 64% and im smooth sailin. thank you designgears!!
[Captivate Android Development] JRock80:
Thanks. I think it would be a great idea to have a page with all of the previous versions. Never know what type of problems someone might have.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Maybe DG could put the link on his download page. This way it won't get lost in this huge thread, and he won't have to constantly update a post.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I recently flashed to 2.3b3 and noticed an improvement in battery life as well over 9.1.3. I was searching the market for like 10 minutes and the power meter didn't budge. It's only been a few hours but so far the difference is noticeable.

[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Many thanks to DG for all the hard work!

Just want to say how much I appreciate you DG and all the time and effort you put in to making our phones into what they should have been.

Beer $ on the way bro!!

Many thanks also to the lesser known geniuses (they are listed in the credits on the DesignGears download page) who contribute their talents.

Sparker366 - after the onslaught of goofy posts tonight you might be doubting how clear the instructions are on the wiki. Man, I had no problems flashing several Cog versions by just following the instructions there and that was before I had even started following the Cog thread.

To those that are considering rooting, flashing etc... I've gotten hooked on all of this and it's been fun but do us all a favor and......

1. Slow down

2. Research

3. Absorb

4. Start small

5. Take step by step notes on what you are doing

6. Enjoy the learning process

Alright, see this makes sence. Thank you for the clairification, and all the responses
[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
Removal of the sim is not a condition of not being able to put the phone in download mode, its just for safe precautions. Also you do not want calls in the middle of doing things in debug mode... =)
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Just flashed from "Cog 2.3b2 >> Cog 2.3b3" with no data clear, using Rom Manager and so far all is good! it's only been like 5 minutes though...

Here what i did in this order:

1. Backed up all my contacts & SMS.

2. Disabled Voodoo.

3. Rebooted Phone.

4. Opened up Rom Manager

5. Install from SD

6. Selected the new Cog v2.3b3

7. I did NOT check Clear Data, or Backup.

8. Worked like a charm.

9. Enable Voodoo (I haven't done this yet, going to do it now)

Thanks DG!

(i'm a new-comer to this whole Android rom world, but i have modded many non-android phones in the past lol, so please bare with me as i learn)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Okay the Flash bug is hitting me again. I am on v2.3b2 now and EVERYTHING is working perfectly (That I have used so far. I have not tried Mobile AP and such yet). Now I am downloading v2.3b3 and will flash with CWM/RM again since that has worked better for me than the Odin version. I have a question though and wanted some expert advice first though.

I read that the Cirlce Mod and extras do not work at this time with b3. I have them installed now on b2. So My Question is Do I go back and REAPPLY the orignal apk's that b2 came with? Or do I clear everything/data wipe once I start CWM?

I KNOW it says data wipe is not needed but if I already have a mod that is not supported in b3 what would be the better way to do it? I used the Update last time to b2 and it worked awesome and was just a small file. I can see there are changes with b3 which prevent an Update. I read the other post about the mods a few pages back but want to be sure before I try this again. I have LEARNED A LOT from this thread over the past couple weeks, I have had noob mistakes flashing and learned how/when I needed to do fixes with odin, master clear, and such. Basically I do NOT want to lose all my data again this time, that is why I loved the Update for b2. Thanks for any ideas ahead of time. Rich
[Captivate Android Development] revolvingdoorslammer:
I think I've figured out my issue so I'm going to try again after work and hopefully all works out. Are people still having problems with data and 3g after the upgrade?

On 2.3b2, battery is good but not significantly different than 2.2b6 or b9.

Waiting all day to try 2.3b3, but now have to wait for the battery to charge from 10% before flashing. :(
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Okay this Q might drift slightly away from the main topic(sorry searched a lot but couldn't find perfect answer) but can anyone please tell me how to set the backup folder path for Tibu to external sd card? I tried giving different paths such as /mnt/externalsdcard/TitaniumBackup but its failing ? any help would be appreciated..!
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
sorry, i'm kinda interrupting the current topic, also, but does anyone have the email app FC on them on 2.3 b3? if so, any fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
GPS stopped working after just a few hours. Went to the store a couple of miles from home and tried GPS took forever to lock just like original. Cog, please fix GPS it works great on 9.1.3 I'm going to switch back till it's fixed. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Rurki:
Same here...

Flashing from JF6 gives constant phone FC.

Flashing from JI6 gives constant email FC.

<rant response>

The biggest problem with meaningless rants like this is only the folks that actually READ the forum get to see them, making it that much harder to keep up with the forum.

</rant response>

I feel your pain brother, I have read EVERY post in this forum, including the 200 or so pages DG had purged. I spent several days here before I flashed my phone and I have tons of WinMo ROM experience, and I am an experienced Linux guy. I simply either answer or not and try not to get p.o.'d at the idiots that will not read the forum and expect someone to walk through the process question by question.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I am not having this problem...but I had extracted Email.apk from 2.2Beta9 I guess, here is the link. You can move it to /system/app/

or you can search the forum for email.apk extracted from CM or I will suggest you to use K9 Mail from market its free and works great with many exchange accounts.

[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
It's been said before (a couple of times by me) that

if you have a modded ROM, you will HAVE to wipe data/cache when you upgrade to 2.3b3

. the mods of b1 or b2 are not compatible with b3. If you flash without doing that, your phone will not be very happy with you.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Thank goodness!

Maybe now we can diminish the amount of hair pulling and whining.:D
[Captivate Android Development] Tweak4fun:
Just flashed 2.3B3 via cwm and the recommended steps.

I had absolutely no issues at all! IT IS AWESOME!

It really couldn't be much more simple. It is VERY "snappy", calls sound great, connected to my work exchange server, Facebook.

I have had this phone for 35 days now. I read this forum regularly, and came up to speed. I am proof that a noob can be taught by READING.

If you are going to flash this $500 phone, it only makes sense to educate yourselves about it.

OUTSTANDING WORK DG!
[Captivate Android Development] thatoneguy99:
I have a question as to why some people think that Odin is cleaner or easier? Not ranting/ complaining, just wondering. I use RM and it seems so easy that I cant see how anything else is easier than putting the file on your phone, selecting the right option in RM and letting it do its thing. I have used Odin before and it works fine also. What does Odin do over RM is my question I guess. Or is it just a personal preference? Oh and another thing. I just noticed that if you hold an app icon over the trash bin for a second or so instead of letting go it gives you the option to uninstall. Is that something that has always been or is it a new Cog feature?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Thanks, That is what I figured but wanted to know from someone with more experience than I.
[Captivate Android Development] sierses:
Finally tried this out, Odin installer was easier to use than I thought it would be, however the touch buttons don't respond nor light up. Is there a solution to this other than reflashing?

Won't be home again for a few more hours, so still playing around with it as much as I can, very speedy with voodoo enabled, compared even to 2.1 with voodoo :-D
[Captivate Android Development] michael.seltzer:
So If I'm on cog 9.1.3 I can just update? No need for wiping? I haven't done anything to modify cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
You clearly haven't actually tried it then. I have. No problems, just that my lock screen is back to the default Cog lock screen. No data or cache wipe needed, no problems actually caused by it. Works fine. Updating to B3 just harmlessly overwrites the lock screen change. I can't say the same thing about the battery icon since I don't use those mods, however.
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
Moved the apk to system/app. No workie. I'll use K9 mail until an update comes out. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] thatoneguy99:
Another question. If it has already been answered then please post the link or point me in the right direction. I did not come up with anything under search. When I go to my gallery app to look at my pictures I am seeing doubles of everything and only one of them will open. The copies/doubles are saying file not supported. Is this an issue with anyone else or did I screw something up somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
What Cog are you running? Did you just flash it and how did you flash it? Did this happen with previous versions of Cog (or is this your first Cog installation)?
[Captivate Android Development] thatoneguy99:
No this is not my first cog. I started at beta7 from stock rom and have pretty much flashed every other one since then. Some good some bad. The only problems I have ever had is the keyboard dictionary issue, fixed, and now this. I used ROM manager. Which hasn't given me any issues before. As of right now I have 2.3b1. I would like to flash to the new one but dont want to have to reinstall my apps. I have used Tibu before but it ask you to push the install button for each app on restore, which is a pain. So I dont want to have to go through that process all over again. Ill probably end up doing it tomorrow anyways because is the weekend. Ill report back after puttin 2.3b3 on. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] ToX93:
This probably have been answered already but its to many pages, but i just flashed this and everything is force closing -_-
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
So what is the main difference between Cognition ROMS and say GeoMod ROM? I have been a loyal cognition user since beta 3 or so, but is there a way we can get Backlight notification and oc/uv support like geomod's?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
It's not too many pages. You need to read this thread, the wiki, and pretty much everything else around here before you attempt to flash. Did you read the wiki and any of this thread before you tried flashing? Where you on a stock rom when you tried to flash? How exactly did you flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ToX93:
ive been reading it just slipped my mind on what to do when it happens. But i had the leaked 2.2 froyo.....the first one, i used odin to flash it. ive read pretty much everything on the wiki

[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
Hey DG, I'm trying to get user scripts to work (/system/etc/init.d/) and I can't seem to get anywhere. I've tried just simple scripts like copying a file in order to test and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried running a logcat during boot and it doesn't seem like it's even acknowledging the scripts. I'm not sure of where your source is, but looking at atinm's I can see this(line 469):

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
oneshot
disabled

in init.rc.

In which case I think it needs to be changed to

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/[COLOR="Red"][B]bin[/B][/COLOR]/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
oneshot
disabled

since we don't have busybox in xbin.

Am I even on the right path?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Ohh I see. Since you know your way around both, does one seem faster to you? I am on 2.3b2 and it is the fastest one I have flashed yet, so unless there is some significant differences, I am going to stick with this one. Which ROM would YOU use, DG? :p Also, is there any way to get BLN working in cog 2.3? I have been using NoLED, but having the capacitive keys light up would be so much cooler
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
My phone did that to me only it was triples of everything in the gallery. Happened once on beta 2 or beta 3 and the again on beta 7. I deleted 2 copies of each picture that was triple copied using Root explorer but when I rebooted I lost all of my pictures, backed up on PC of course, instead of just the copies. Don't know if I deleted the wrong ones but they all opened up for viewing. I still have the thumbnails of them just not the actual pictures. Both times this happened was 4 days to a week after flashing, I tend to stick with a rom for a few if its good, which kind of makes it harder to pinpoint why it did that. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] brooklynguy1:
reading before u flash i agree

I've only had my phone for 48 days read everything i could now its a screamin 2.3 machine and themed and iconed and whatever else i could throw in so yes read read and read some more my first 15 days was just reading every chance i had
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That's definitely the way to get a good experience out of flashing, I look at all of the feedback and solutions for a few days before I flash something new and have had no problems (mostly) that weren't already noted in the threads or change logs.

A few things. Noticed that com.android.acore had two processes that have been taking up 100% CPU over the last few releases. Once I turned off automatic contact syncing with my Google accounts, the problem went away and my battery life has improved quite a bit.

Noticed that you were able to link in Facebook and Twitter using Accounts and Sync from the Settings menu. I used it to link my accounts and every time since then, attempting to look at my contacts causes an FC.
