yeah sad to say hope dg to comeback here at b6. i am currently on perception now my gps is great and the rom is much more responsive, but still you need to tweak a lot of stuff for some other apps to work plus no wired headset =(. The only thing i like in perception is the BLN. but still what can we say DG put all his effort to all of his ROM Thanks DG for the ROM's you provided us keep it up ;) no matter what rom you focus we will support you :p
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
Just got my captivate in the mail today and have already proceeded to root it, flash it, and unlock the market.

Thanks for the awesome ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Cognition is not done..LOL

I had just as many little issues with 2.3b6 as I do with Perception. I look at it this way, If I am going to deal with Beta SW, I may as well enjoy the benefits of the better Perception ROM in the mean time. If Cognition can meet the Perception head to head I will switch back. I know DG is working on Cog as well but he is focused on Perception in a big way for now. So that's where I will follow. Seems to me the Vibrant and I9000 ROMs are getting more attention than the Cappy ROMS right now.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Agreed....The Perception ROM is far smoother. The choice of file systems is nice not to mention the ability to lower voltages for 30 hour battery life. and CLOCKWORK RECOVERY boots into a normal screen without wiping data and rewriting apks, That was my biggest gripe with 2.3b6. CW wasn't clean.

The wired headset is an issue for a few who still use them. I use BT in the car and when I am listening to music I am using far better headsets than stock. (Westone 3 and ETY-4s)
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Fair enough, and the person who noted that just switching to ext4 solves things (otherwise, don't let your battery run out!) is of course correct. But caution is in order.

However, I'm finding 2.3b4 with addbacks pretty close to perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
I was also on 2.3b4 and was really happy. Then i went over to perception and i am def very happy and impressed.

DG has def been hiding for a while this time around... maybe he said f it, its Gingerbread time!!
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
I think as a default device, the wired headset must work.. and i believe is not a problem of a few people. I think Perception is good but roms like Cognition or Spaceman should not disappear. They are both excellent. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] n0stalgia:
Anyone else having an impossible time having facebook contacts to sync?

Calendar syncs just fine, but contacts won't sync at all since I've flashed to 2.3b6. I've tried removing/adding the account, doing it over wifi, 3g, adding all friends to contacts, only picking certain friends to add (which shows a blank screen), etc.

Anyone else have luck? This was all working fine on Cog 2.2b1
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
I didn't know you could change it through there. Do you have any more information/specifics on this you can add?
[Captivate Android Development] flukemeister:
So what do we do if we want a different ringtone for each email account? This is really important for my work.
[Captivate Android Development] Sykoknot:
I just got TGTs touchwiz launcher installed on my cognition rom, but is there anyway toget the touchwiz widgets?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
can i ask whats the default band on cog b6? mine shows 850 im not sure if it is supposed to be 1900. you can check it on by pressing *#0011#. i went to perseption 4 then flash back to cog since i can't bear all the fc im getting and how unstable it is for me.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
Use a different email client for each account? I don't know if there is any third party that does it.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
you just need to find the apks for those widgets. there used to be a link to them on the download site. search through this thread. several people have posted the widgets. i've posted the program monitor widget at least twice.
[Captivate Android Development] nmoline:
I haven't seen anyone specifically mention this so here I go.

In the notification drop down you only have toggle for silent. I can change my vibration settings to vibrate never or only on silent; however, it would be nice to toggle between Ringtone, Vibrate, and Silent all in the notification drop down menu like I did when running the stock firmwares.

I only ask because throughout the day I change between these three very often. At work I don't always want the other cubicles to hear my phone vibrating; however, sometimes if I am waiting for a call I need it to vibrate etc...

Just one less step to go through if this feature is in the notification pull down menu.
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
Does the sentron kernel work with this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thought I'd chime in here on Perception vs. Cognition.

I was on 2.3b6, and very happy. In fact teh GPS works great on it too, if you apply the same GPS fix which I mentioned earlier in this thread, which is now on Perception: Jupiter6.

I am very happy with Perception. In particular the fact that you can do voice dial via press of the BT button. Now, that may be just because there is an app on Perception that is not on Cog, Voice Dialer. I don't know for sure where that came from.

The only complaint I have with Perception is one that I also had with Cog, and I think may affect everyone, but I may be the only one that notices or cares. That is, it continually disconnects from my wireless for short periods, although sometimes it is longer than 2 minutes. Not shut off wireless, disconnect from my wireless router.

I have not tested on another router such as at work. I need to write some Tasker Scripts to reallyl test it right, and that wouldn't take all that long. I need to do that in order to decide if it is my home router (which is new), or the ROM.

In anyh event, due to the voice dial, I really like Perception; I do find it works faster too. I have stayed on Build 4. If I went to Build 5, there would be some changes from default to make for the lag fix, well discussed in the Perception thread.

One thing I might mention here, is that there was mention in the Perception thread that DG had said "Good things coming to 7". Well, that lead to some discussing that maybe he was coming back to Cognition; making his own kernel. Perception is on Build 5, so that is why, I presume, they thought maybe he is working on Cog again.

I have no idea if that is the case or not.

In my case, if I determine that the Wifi drops at work also, I may explore someone else's ROM, just to see if it happens from there also.

What I"m hoping for is the final release to come out before too long, and DG get hold of that.
[Captivate Android Development] pinballLooking:
K9 mail you can easily have a different ring tone for each email account.
[Captivate Android Development] pinballLooking:
I am using Perception 5 and my Wifi does not drop like yours.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Sounds like you have a faulty battery. I'd see if your carrier will warranty it out for your. Have never had a battery charge issue with my phone.

GPS is a known issue which the horse has done died and been beaten into hamburger - and probably will never work 100%. I'd try installing the Jupiter tweaks (look here in the dev forum for the post for files & install instructions). My GPS started working... better. But it was still way to jittery and I highly doubt it will ever work like it did on my old iPhone.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I"d be willing to bet you wouldn't know if it does. It is very brief quite often.

The only way I found it is because I have Tasker tasks that forward my phone when I lose connection, and it brings up an OK button that I must close.

I changed it to not forward unless the connection is dropped for over two minutes. And only occasionally does it happen then.

But I also set up a variable for Tasker to increment when it loses connect at all, and it happens 20 to 30 times over the course of a night.

That being said, I do realize that it may be my phone only. But I also know that it did NOT happen with the stock load.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
I use my phone on Wifi no problems here.. I watch tv on Wifi...
[Captivate Android Development] zvadim:
Same issue: Facebook sync was fine on cog 2.2 then i flashed to 2.3b6 and now it says: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". This is for Facebook contacts only mind you, calendar syncs fine.

Maybe it was caused by trying to restore accts/contacts via TIbackup

Haven't tried reflashing yet, but leaning in that direction.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Its from restoring accounts. No need to flash. Just delete the Facebook sync account and add it back manually after a reboot. Reboot possibly not needed just what I have done.
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
Does anyone use Square to take cc payments? I can't get the cc reader to read the cards on Perception. I believe it's due to the kernel, and wanted to know if anyone running Cognition was having any problems. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] flukemeister:
Yes, but Froyo supports the same, it just doesn't seem to be working in cog atm. I'm more hoping to find info on fixing it as I'm not a fan of K9's weak Exchange compatibility.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
Ok so I just flashed the latest cog rom yesterday. Battery life is slightly better than perception 5. But its still horrible. I've tried recalibrating and deleting the stats file and nothing. 75% unplugged for three hours. With 10 mins of music playback. I've been at work since so only ten mins of use. I know my battery isn't faulty because I used to get good battery out of stock froyo leak and eclair. Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] jorge_moran_jams:
Please help me... I know this is possible...

Hey guys... So I've been trying to create a symlink from my internal sdcard to the external one, I tried creating it normally like this:

ln -s /mnt/sdcard/music /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Music

But I got link failed Operation not permitted even though I tried

chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard

So I read this in a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721558)

umount /emmc

mount -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,dmask=07020,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8 -t vfat /dev/block//vold/179:3 /sdcard/emmc

I don't exactly understand what those commands do, but presumably instead of creating a link they mount the storage in that folder. But the guy who suggested that workaround said that it was necessary a boot script to run that command every time the phone boots.

I know Cognition supports init scripts, but I have no idea how to set them up I'm not even sure if those commands will even work... lol

Any suggestions

Thanks people
[Captivate Android Development] ArkieMD:
Try Cog 2.3b4...I've been very happy since reverting back to it. Plenty fast, solid battery life, and my GPS is back to stock quality.
[Captivate Android Development] fmsrttm:
is it Launcher in the update that drains battery life so much?
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
external_sd is a symlink already. Can you have a symlink in a symlink?
[Captivate Android Development] zas0006:
I didn't realize that external_sd was a symlink. ls -l doesn't show a link...

Maybe there is a different command for android. I am used to Unix but not a pro.
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
battery lasts longer for me, hope it works for you. read below:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Reflash or get a new battery, I've never got below 20 to 24 hrs use on my battery with this rom and usually 30 hrs + with casual use. Been that way for me since at least 2.2 b7, which was the best for me because it was a stripped down rom, with the worst battery life being the stock rom at only 8 to 10 hrs.

I've never reset the battery stats or any of the other "magic" fixes( the info above does work for most) and it's always been good on Froyo with wifi on 24/7, gps on same and auto brightness. Pull up your battery stats in the "about phone" under "settings" and see what is using your battery. Each item is click-able and will tell you what it's battery use is. Check your task manager and see what is running and using CPU cycles, not ram, to find out also.

DON'T use a task killer app, they kill battery life and hog ram and Froyo handles the function much better.

You either got a bad flash or have a ton of things running or have a battery that went bad, doesn't matter if it was fine yesterday, everything broken was fine the day before it broke. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
I dont have task killers. I've checked running processes network usage and all using os.monitor. how do I go about getting a new battery from att? I know ill have to go back to stock completely but how do I do so besides using oneclick? Can I still get a replacement even though I'm past my 30 days?

Update: reflashed cog tried calibrating no luck. Flashed back to leaked froyo battery now back to being good
[Captivate Android Development] fruitpunch36:
Hey guys. I'm new to this forum. Anyway, I playing around with the settings and I found a "horizontal calibration" screen in the display settings and I tried to calibrate for no reason what soever and now it acts really weird (it either stays in horizontal mode or you need to tilt it at a weird angle too get it into portrait). I tried to factory reset (the weird robot voice had me scared for the whole 5 minute process) and.... it's exactly the same. I want to know how to either calibrate properly or restore the previous calibration. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] wu-wei:
I'm running Cog 2.3b6 and my wireless drops as well. When I catch it, I go to wireless settings and the AP is set as "disabled". Click to re-enable and it works fine.

Well, I've noticed mine drops on at least two AP's. A Netgear 802.11n and a Linksys 802.11g. Both WPA2-psk.

That's pretty much my only complaint with Cog.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Mine's been doing this for quite a while now. On many different versions. Even Axura ROM did it to me. Tried clearing cache, nothing works. Clicking on the network and selecting connect is all that works.
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
Anyone using the square cc reader with this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
put it flat on a table and do it again,.

if that doesnt work

flash to stock

then reflash to cognition or perception
[Captivate Android Development] gerbsterkiller:
It works perfectly for me as is. If the kernel is changed to any kernel that uses an i9000 base, such as SietroN's 1200, it will not work due to incorrect headset orientation.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
for some reason im having a lot of issue on signal LOL im not sure but my signal bar doesnt go all the way to 5 like before. I think something mess up when i tried to install the perception build 4, my band seems to get stuck on 850 sometime too. Dont know if anyone got this issue seems like its not noticeable. I have tried to flash stock then flash cog b6 for like 5 times never change.
[Captivate Android Development] Donmotobike:
flashing back and forth solved my camera prob

flashing back to cog 2.2 beta 7 and back to cog 2.3 beta 6 solved my camera problem - now everything works. The only difference I see in Cog 2.3 beta 6 performance is mainly the GPS - now it locks in signal faster and much more accurate compared to cog 2.2 beta 7. ;)

Flashing using Rom Manager is so much easier...
[Captivate Android Development] firedragon758:
Hey guys, first post so please be nice if I sound noobish! :p

I flashed Cog probably a couple of weeks ago and everything was working fine until this morning when it was constantly keep on trying to call my voicemail. Not thinking it was anymore then a glitch I figured a reboot to my phone would fix it.

However, I am now stuck at a downloading screen and have been for maybe the past 15 minutes... I just want to know if I should be concerned or if anybody else it getting this same message.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
I don't know if it has been stated our not because of the thousand pages but when I push the sleep button the lock screen doesn't always appear.this must be a bug but unless the phone puts itself tosleep the lock screen won't appear.
[Captivate Android Development] klloyd:
Well, I have tried them all since 2.4.1, and I went back to it. I absolutely love the rotating home screen, gps is... ehh, ok. It gets the job done. I firmly believe 2.4.1 was the one, the best one to date. Tried a few more on here, came back to it...
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I use Launcher pro to get the orientated home screen no matter which version your running. Also have all my screens back with one click after a flash with LP ,minus widgets, but all shorcuts, homescreen, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Well that's weird. Not sure how long they cover the battery but have heard really good things about the replacements on ebay from people in these forums.

Scratching my head about the bat issues with 2.3 b6, it's just strange how differently the same rom can act for different people or even different flashes of the same rom. :confused:

Edit: I'm at 45% with 1d 1h 20m since unplugged, wifi on the same, gps on the same, voice calls 1h 26 m, SMS about 45 to 50 with Handcent, 30m of Angry Birds.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Did you just do a regular reboot or a reboot to download?

If you didn't start flashing anything, just take the battery out and put it back. Turn the phone as usual.

If that doesn't work, you may try a hard reset from cwm. If not, you'll probably have to flash back to stock and start all over again
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Well, I have set up the Tasker routines to track if it disconnects at work. It's been going for almost 4 hours now, and no disconnects.

When mine does drop at home I do NOT have to go back in and turn anything on. It is just a short drop, and reconnect.

I am relatively sure that it does not happen on the stock rom. I am going to do two other tests, over time: When I go to do a new ROM upgrade, I will flash to stock and leae it that way long enough to see if it disconnects. The other thing I am going to do is try a different AP at home.

One point of note: I don't recollect the brand of AP I have, but it is an N router. The one at work is G. An interesting thing for me to try is on another N router somewhere, but I'm not sure where I can go to do that.

The launcher that is pledged with 2.3b6 fours not havany options to change. This makes it less laggy. Install the stock launcher if you want more options.

And for 2.4.1 http://www.ponack.net/designgears/OLD/
[Captivate Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Thanks when do you think next is coming out
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
DG is putting most of his time into the perception rom right now. I think the cognition one is going to stay put until another captivate leak comes out out he has some other new source to work with.

2.3b6 is as far as things will be until something new arises I believe.

Download Mode

HI again, so i decided to reflash my captivate because of my g sensor calibration problem, so i read up on how to flash the stock rom. The guide said that i needed to reboot into download mode... Being stupid, I decided not to follow the instructions and go by what i know. In the power options (hold down power) at the bottom of the menu, there is a "Download" option. I clicked that and it rebooted. Then when it booted back up, I see an Android robot picking up trash and there is text saying "Downloading.... Do not turn off the Target!!!!". It's been like this for about 5 minutes. I would have rebooted by myself now but the "Do not turn off the Target!!!!" text is scaring me! what should i do!? :confused::confused::confused::confused: I also want to mention that the phone is hooked up to my computer to prevent the battery from running out. When i plugged it in, I did not mount the storage. Should i unplug it?
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Download mode is for odin. You need to open odin and then plug in the phone. This way odin will recognize the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] fruitpunch36:
Ok, but what should I do? hard reboot it?
[Captivate Android Development] fruitpunch36:
Sorry for the confusion, I have Odin open right now but it doesn't recognize my phone. In fact, Windows 7 says it's an "Unknown Device". It recognized my phone before I put it into Download Mode
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
You might not have the right drivers installed. And was odin open before you plugged the phone in?
[Captivate Android Development] fruitpunch36:
Yes it was, but after multiple restarts of Odin, It still doesnt work. I have the correct drivers installed as everything else works fine. I'm concerned that I may have not gotten into download mode the way I should have.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Have Odin open and then adb reboot download and Odin should recognize you're phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
it doesnt matter how you get into download mode, as long as you are in download mode....getting there one way isnt going to yield anything more than another way....

if you are on Win7 make sure you installed drivers as admin and run ODIN as admin
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
I don't think you will mess it up by pulling the battery but I am not sure.

And going into download mode that way shouldn't be a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] fruitpunch36:
Thanks to everyone. I'm back to stock and I'm looking to flash Perception this time. Now I'm free to play around with whatever ROMs I want!

Desh home for v2.3b6

Hi, I been flashing the previous Cognition ROMs and I am happy with the v2.3b6.

I upgraded from the v2.3b3 version which had Desk Home, Car Home and Daily briefing etc.

Would anyone know where I can grab these?

I backed up Desk Home using Tibu but for some reason it wouldn't restore.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
open up one of the old zip files with 7zip and pull the apk files out of /system/app
[Captivate Android Development] ozguy64:
Cool Thanks for your help.

Edited: Found the Daily Briefing file, but seems it doesn't want to install. will leave it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Camera exposure

Just throwing this out there to make sure I'm neither crazy or alone but does anybody else have a camera that when changing the exposure setting it does nothing? The last few Cog ROMs have been like this. Axura did not do this. Is it a different Camera.apk?
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I don't think it installs. I think you just copy it to /system/app on your phone. You may need to reboot but it should show up in your apps and just work.
[Captivate Android Development] ozguy64:
Many thanks, that did the trick!
