Need "root explorer" on android marketplace. You're right, you only see /mnt/sdcard when u mount via windows 7.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
i use my headset all the time... they're working just fine on every Cognition since Beta 5.5 for me.

Please try reflashing.. The ROM is fine. As it usually always is. It's user error here and there or hardware that's often the problem and not the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Just finished flashing upto Beta9. Love it so far with 1 exception. While trying to open contacts I get the dreaded android.process.acore has stopped and the subsequent FC. Any quick fix? Reflash and hold my mouth different?

How do I turn my phone on? What's froyo?

[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Sorry n19htmare, but this issue has existed for me in every beta release.

Stock headphones work, but no third party headsets work for me.

Many many people have had this problem. During beta 5 i flashed every different way a phone can be flashed many times, and still never got it working. I understand that it works for the majority of people, but it does not work for me.

EDIT: This is absolutely the only issue i have, and it is not a deal breaker by any means.

If you don't want to pay for root explorer, you can use terminal emulator from the market. Or use adb shell. The contacts apk from 9 that works is about 10 pages back now.
[Captivate Android Development] Postal76:
I'm currently using 2.2 beta 8.1, and everything is great except the following.

1) Battery life. I swear my battery drains faster vs. stock froyo. Is this a common problem? Is it possible that the battery life is the same, but the battery indicator is now more or less accurate?

2) Touching the notification drawer causes the brightness to change. This behavior isn't present in stock froyo (but was present in 2.1). Any way to get rid of this?

Thanks!

Restore settings after update?

I just updated to Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1 from B6. (Only second time to do an upgrade - :) )

Upgrade process went perfect and everything works (except Contacts - which I'm still trying to get working).

Now the question I have is: how do I preserve my desktop/background/window settings so I don't have to go through and add all the shortcuts and widgets back each time. I finally get all the different windows/screens setup I want, then have to start over after I do an upgrade.

Thanks...

[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
1) Who knows. Everyone is getting different results. Mine hasn't been as good but others are reporting relatively strong battery performance.

2) Yes, it does do that in stock froyo. Long-pressing the notification bar and then sliding to the left or right adjusts brightness. The only way I know to disable it is to turn on auto-brightness.

Circle battery ugly? To each his own I guess. I find it much easier to read the actual number than the one you use.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Ummmm.. Sorry. No.

Like i said... it works for most people.

I have tried many working headsets. All of them work perfectly for music and such, but as soon as i answer a phone call they stop working.

I can revert to stock 2.1 and they will work perfectly for phone calls again.

It is not a big issue, and i don't want to keep the debate going... we have talked about it here almost as much as lagfix.

No Worries.... Cog B9 is phenomenal.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Beiruty:
can we insall the circular battery over B9.1
[Captivate Android Development] :DookyFace::
Oh no, please do keep the debate going. I'm also having the same problem since beta5.5 and it's the only bad part about this rom. Playing music works fine, but answering phone calls... it only comes out of the phone speaker.

To the ones who have working call audio from the headphone jack: Is the plug on your headset/car-adapter the 3-sectioned standard stereo out (like normal headphones), or is it the 4-sectioned plug to allow an in-line mic (like an iphone stereo+mic headset)?
[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
how do I delete the old one? I get file Can't create /system/app/Contacts.apk file exists

edit: nevermind I found the rm command :)
[Captivate Android Development] :DookyFace::
you'll probably have to remount the filesystem as read AND write

but maybe not.

try

rm -r /system/app/Contacts.apk

and if that doesn't work, do "su root" first
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Just wanted to report a bug I found this morning. I activated call status tones abmnd it gave me bad fclose although the call was active it never got recorded in the call log! Also don't know if that's the reason or something else since morning my battery is draining like crazy. But that might be completely other issue. I charged the battery completely for almost 4 hours while phone was off and after starting up the phone I made the first call and it gave me fclose! After that battery starts draining fast. If anyone had same issue any help would be appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
not "over" it.

You can save a copy of your framework-res.apk, and then integrate your battery images into it and re-install it.

There are several threads going about this. You can't install it over the beta 9 framework, because it will cause FC issues with the power button.

You can view my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8838500&postcount=6111

or look into the themes section for other beta 9 mods.

Lagfix for Touchdown??

DANGER, I have no idea if this will turn your phone into a steaming pile of worthless plastic or not. All I know is I ran it on my phone. If you don't understand what is listed below or you do not like taking chances with your phone, do not try this. If you do try it and you blow up your phone, that is your issue.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER (From original post I know most of you will not read)

**REQUIRES ROOT**

**limits your App space to 130MB, which can possibly cause issues**

**Do NOT use with large number/size of apps**

**This should not be a permanent fix, but works until somethings else comes up**

**If you approach the size limit you will get errors and/or strange things**

With that said:

I have slightly modified scripts from the old NAND based lagfix found HERE and HERE and modified it to address just Android and Touchdown. I am testing this now, but on initial reboot, it really speeds up Touchdown. I will update you as I go. If you see an issue or can suggest improvements to this, please let me know.

I also need to report by battery is eating %20 per hour (without the above fix). I am praying for beta 10, just so I can see if a reflash works. :)

do it:

adb shell

su

cd /data/data

for i in com.android.* ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /dbdata/data/ ; busybox ln -s /dbdata/data/$i $i ; done

for i in com.sec.android.* ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /dbdata/data/ ; busybox ln -s /dbdata/data/$i $i ; done

for i in com.nitrodesk.* ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /dbdata/data/ ; busybox ln -s /dbdata/data/$i $i ; done

exit

exit

adb reboot

undoit:

adb shell

su

find /data/data -maxdepth 1 -type l -exec rm {} \;

cp -rp /dbdata/data /data

rm -r /dbdata/data

exit

exit

adb reboot

Notes:

1) Voodoo enabled or not, it should not matter

2) You probably should undo this before flashing a new ROM

3) OMFG this is so fast I can hardly believe it. Even faster than OCLF!
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Thanks for the post but I have a question...can I use different theme than one you have for super circle battery. The one you have shows solid circle but I want to use the one circle made of small bars....is it possible? Ans I assume that I should rename the file and copy the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ ...right?

Thank you..!

[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
DG any chance of including the froyo version of back light notifications into the recent beta?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Yes, you need the sdk (adb is a command within the tool kit: You can easily find it by Googling "adb android" or click HERE.

I would be very selective with using this for other things. It limits your application space to about 130MB and your phone will start to run a bit wonky as you approach the limit. Let me test with this before you try extending it.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
If anyone is wondering how to integrate the battery mod

adb pull the original framework-res.apk

rename it to framework-res.zip

open with WinRAR or 7zip, but do NOT unzip, just open.

Open res/drawable-hdpi

Find the battery files (there is 128 of them I believe)

Delete em, and throw the new ones in from an extracted MM theme or separate framework-res.apk into WinRAR itself (again, make sure NOT to unzip)

Close WinRAR, rename back to .apk

You have a modded framework, push to /system/framework

I believe this will work, I did this with a Metamorph theme and it worked perfectly. I assume it'd work with the framewok-res.apk itself, as long as you dont mess with it too much. Can anyone confirm?

Dont take my word, do this at your own risk :) not gonna take fault for it

Or install the new modified ones posted before if you want. I modified Darkness MM theme with circle battery for myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
yes this method works just fine.

You do not have to rename it to .zip... using winrar, just leave it as a .apk.

You don't have to delete the files out of the .apk, you can drag your news ones over and it will auto-replace them.

If you only edit files in the framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/ folder, there is little chance that you screw things up, because they are all graphic files, and do not include any settings or anything like that.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Thanks for confirming.

yeah I have a few extra steps. And graphic files wont mess anything up, but jsut a warning about messing with other things (like doing something to mess with power menu). But thanks :)

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] cappyron:
So... what this is doing is moving some android libraries from an ext4 mount to an rfs mount and linking back so the originals are available in /data/data.... Supposedly rfs is fast when accessing files less than 4k in size...

But there are some things you can tweak with ext4.. I'm going to try some :)... so far I turned this on

--use `mount | grep data` to find what device to put below

*EDIT* forgot one..

$ su

# mount | grep data

# cd /voodoo/root/usr/sbin

# ./tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

# ./tune2fs -O has_journal -o journal_data /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

I need to schedule an fsck on that directory... but so far the first reboot after that change was fast...
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
LOL, keep up the good work and answering the annoying questions DG, I just made another donation a few minutes ago. I really appreciate your work.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Well sort of. The /dbdata file system is rfs, but it is mounted to the NAND memory card and NAND is uber fast compared to the internal SD card. So while this process does move this data to rfs, it is moving it to really really really fast rfs. It is probably not the best long term approach, but 60 minutes into this, my cappy is so fast I can hardly believe it.

Are you running Touchdown? I am interested to see how the fs tuning works for that. I am thinking about trying it (again, I am not a big fan of moving stuff to the NAND, but I am desperate)
[Captivate Android Development] cappyron:
I'm not running Touchdown, but Moxier (because of the same problems with the stock email client)...

I'll give that other fix a shot too :)

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
The answer above was to a question about how to get the home screens backed up so that you don't have to rebuild them

I have never had a restore from TIBU restore them. Well, it restores them but they do not show the graphic icons, nor they work.

I had thought that the Launcher Pro backup/ restore would accomplish this, but so far I have not succeeded with that either.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Market has been FC for me since 8.1. It will "download" a file, but really hang.

I'm more likely to get this when I hit download, then hit the home key to go do something else. On 8.1, if I just waited a sec, it'd go.

Now I'm on 9.1.1 and it's not really going at all. I made sure not to titanium backup restore data thinking I may have done that back in 8.1 . So for all practical purposes it's "pure" from the cog rom.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Did you flash back to stock first? Did you clear cache? What apps are fc'ing (clearly not all of them since appbrain works)
[Captivate Android Development] big3:
Hey all,

I used Odin to flash back to J6 then attempted a master clear, but it just sat there and did nothing. Tried it several times and nothing. I then just when ahead and flashed Cog. v2.2 Beta 9.1 NOT 9.1.1 and then again tried to do a master clear and AGAIN nothing happened. The only issue I am now having is that I can no longer place a call. It just force closes. If I receive a call I can talk for 20 seconds and then the error shows and force closes. I have rebooted, pulled the battery, and even re-installed beta 9.1.......anyone have any ideas? Everything else works great....that I know of so far....

[Captivate Android Development] JBLogic:
Holy crap, finally re calibrated my battery before flashing beta 9. This is the best battery life I have ever had on the phone period.

Before I would have to charge up in the middle of the day, pretty much no matter what. I am now going on about 22 hours unplugged with 23% battery life left.

I have made a few short phone calls, texted a bit, and i was browsing on wifi for easily over an hour.

two days in a row i let the phone die completely then charge to 100% while off.

on the second day at 100% charge I deleted battery stats/flashed back to stock as well as master cleared/flashed beta 9 in odin.
