Just to let everyone know. You can go from 2.2b6 to 2.2b7 from clockwork without any issues as 2.2b6 has the correct recovery built into the kernal. Going from anything other then b6 you will have to follow the instructions for stock flash or kernal swap. So read the Wiki on how to do it.

Oh and another note. Since TW launcher has been removed the folks that use Kies will have to suffer or reinstall TW Launcher to get back that functionality
[Captivate Android Development] JimmyStale:
Put your phone is debug mode using the phone settings. Power off your phone. Remove the battery and the SIM. Put ONLY your battery back in. Open Odin. While holding the volume buttons, connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.

I just installed B7 and went the appbrain route. No issues with installations. I think it had something to do with my TIBU. So I wiped that and did a clean backup.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
This has already been solved. :)
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Same issue here. Sometimes taking half an hour to get one app installed.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Email is force closing on me.. I flashed to JF6 (odin one click) then rom manager to Beta7..

I did do a TiBu of Beta6 before flashing - is this causing email to FC? Conflicting Email app from B6 to B7?

How can I get the email app to reinstall?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
think ill just stay on b6 for a while. need to figure out the random shutdown issues asap.
[Captivate Android Development] JimmyStale:
awesome, what was the issue? i didn't see it, maybe i just missed it.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
They are different email apps between B6 and B7. When restoring via TiBu you should only be installing the user apps, nothing will conflict that way. Try using TiBu to delete the email client from B6 and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Don't know what the issue was but he wound up doing through adb.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Since I did system+data from TiBu, didn't I already overwrite the app from B6 onto B7? So if I delete from TiBu, that wouldn't do me any good as I would just be deleting the B6 App
[Captivate Android Development] Decer:
Tried to search around and didn't really find anything. But can someone point me in the right direction to get and put AOSP back onto B7? I can't stand that stock POS email program lol

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
I just went from B6 to B7 after flashing back to JF6, Master Clear, etc., (yeah, I know it takes longer but I wanted a clean install). Anyway, according to the changelog TiBu isn't included in this build and yet it's in my app drawer. Also I have 4 duplicate apps showing: Music player, My Files, Quickoffice and Superuser. Anyone else see this?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Without TouchWiz how do you get the PC to recognize the phone for MTP?
[Captivate Android Development] NOFSBIGE:
will there be an odin version out?? I feel most comfortable with this way of installing
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I installed v2.2 Beta 7 this morning and I'm really liking the fact that it doesn't include TW. I have to say, though, that one of the first things I did was grab the android.policy.odex for the stock lockscreen. I still hate the Samsung lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
So the changes from beta 6 to 7 is no tw launcher change in email and no titanium

DG why no titanium? I am on Beta 6 and I have some random issues on boot that I think can be traced to restoring apps. Using titanium. Just apps no data. Can you shed light on the no titanium? If it is the culprit I will reflash and use app brain to handle reinstall
[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
I am seeing duplicate apps as well in the app drawer after uninstalling the TW launcher via TiBu in Beta 6..
[Captivate Android Development] gr1fter:
anyone have an issue when you toggle gps on, the icon will stay on the notification bar permanently whether you toggle it on or off
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
I just went back and repeated the process of going back to JF6, Master Clear, Factory Reset, reformat the internal sd...the whole 9 yards. Every step of the way I checked to make sure all remnants of my former setup were gone, and it worked this time. However, TiBu still shows up in my app drawer on Beta7. Curious.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Funny thing is even though DG says no TiBu in this one, I did a flash to stock 2.1 and formatted my internal, when I used CWR to put beta 7 on, TiBu was preinstalled.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok so since I have been opposing the Lag Fix I think it is fair that now I share with you something I just tested that made me a believer.

If you have Launcher Pro, restart your phone then go to the scrolling bar near the bottom and click on the Plus sign to add an application. Then select Application.

On first try mine takes about 17 seconds.

I then did the Lag Fix. Rebooted and there was NO DELAY at all...that is a HUGE difference indeed.

So I while my previous tests did not show any advantage (even DG quoted one of my tests) this test is quite stunning.

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Something else that I noticed was that both times I flashed back to stock, rooted and then dl'd ROM Manager from the Market, RM failed to download CWR until I rebooted. That's never happened before.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
I have been back and forth on the lag fix, but with launcher pro, the OCLF seems to make a huge difference. It is really evident if you use the 3D app drawer like i do... Scrolling is silky smooth with OCLF.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Scrolling is no different for me either way...silky smooth with and without it. I don't use Live Wallpapers because they make it jerky.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
OCLF is a temp solution. It definitely helps some cases of app lag, but is not as great as Voodoo

Because the "final" version of froyo is out for the i9000 and supercurio has the i9000, he is making good way on voodoo for froyo.

Hopefully it comes out for captivate soon.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
Well... yesterday I finally get up the guts to flash the froyo cog and today a new version is out?

:D
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
haha... welcome!
[Captivate Android Development] mbonus:
I also went from cog eclair (2.1.2) to cog froyo 2.2b6. I have been running it since Wednesday and it is really solid. I did a master clear and only reloaded a couple apps from backup.

I think I am liking the stock lock screen too much to change to cog2.2B7. I loaded up mixzig and have been using their lock-screen widget for media controls. To me this is superior to the tw lock-screen media controls.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
So noob question.

this is on the faq:

I'm on 2.2b6; so I can just do a "flash clockwork mod recovery" and get b7?
[Captivate Android Development] argolfermd:
Everytime the ROM is changed peopel chime in about give me back my (lock screen, launcher, TiBu, etc.)

Some people need to go with the flow, or fix it themselves. Otherwise there is going to be 15 versions of this ROM out there.

You won't here me complaining. Way better than stock. Keep up the great work DG.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Like all of us pro-lag fix have been saying, your results of how fast apps open is useless. It's performance WITHIN the apps (as you just demonstrated to yourself) that matters.

What's the difference between the lag fix and voodoo?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
haha, woops, looks like I didnt take out the apk, its 2am, leave me alone :P
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I found the following QR links (toward the bottom of the page) related to Voice Dial, Voice Search, and Voice Commands. They installed just fine, so I'll be testing things out today and will report back.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I notice Beta 7 removed the TouchWiz...

I like some of the TouchWiz widgets... Do those work on Launcher Pro or has that functionality been killed now?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
The thing is , this is the ONE app, of the tons I have, that actually shows such a major difference. And no, all pro lag fix people are not saying that, some are even saying some things scroll smoother or load faster so there is a lot of wrong perception and placebo among some real stuff also going on which does not help for people trying to find out whos right or wrong. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Well I don't know how the drawer works in Launcher Pro but initial launching of the drawer, back on Eclair anyway (IE, it may not be fully loaded all the time)... Yes, initial jerkiness is gone with the lag fix but once it's opened I don't think there's any difference in scrolling speed.

You didn't see a massive speed difference just within the OCLF app itself after installing the lag fix?

ROM Manager was a HUGE speed improvement. Took forever to load that sucker up all the way without a lag fix and the lag fix at least makes it bearable.
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
Just a matter of time before Atinm gets Voodoo 2.2 up and running. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
place the cog beta 7 .zip on your sd card. Flash clockwork recovery, then select "install rom from sdcard" and select the cog beta 7 zip. the phone will reboot, select reinstall packages, navigate to install rom from sdcard, select the cog beta 7.

That is how i did it.

This may be a somewhat trivial question, but I'm on Beta 4. Same concept? Also what needs backed up officially? Contacts I'm fine with but anything else or does this all leave /sdcard alone? My apps are synced with AppBrain so I'm guessing I'm good there.

Thanks, this will only be my second time flashing THIS phone. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
You will have to use the kernal swap installation method outlined on the FAQ in the OP. B6 is the first cognition variant that has the option of using Rom Manager to update the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
FWIU...

Both basically replace the RFS filesystem with a high[er] performance filesystem. OCLF uses ext2**, Voodoo uses ext4.

The downside with ext2 vs. ext4 is ext4 is journaling, which is basically like a transaction log, so in the event of an issue it's far easier to fix (and far less likely to become corrupt). Say the filesystem is in the middle of a write, the phone loses power, that could be a disaster with ext2.

**That's assuming OCLF still uses ext2, if the current 2.x implementation uses ext3/ext4, then disregard that [potential] issue**

The other difference is Voodoo is a modified kernel that gives it "native" support for using a ext based filesystem. OCLF as I understand it does this with creating a ext partition, then linking over the performance intensive things like the databases.

I think the concensus is Voodoo is more seamless and with ext4 far less likley to corrupt the filesystem

Well, you don't really need to do that. Are you talking about your external card, or the /sdcard allocated space on the internal storage? I'd do neither. In fact, the /sdcard space stays unchanged through a flash so all your user stuff will still be there (like my TiBu backups were still sitting there). Though I'd always backup any important things like camera pics, etc.

Any way to get the AOSP Email APK and the Stock Launcher info? The touchwiz email doesn't let me download ALL my email at once which I like. Also, the touchwiz is pretty laggy and crashes a lot on my exchange email account. Also would love to see HUSPA in cognition :)
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
No. You cannot go from beta 4 to beta 7 using this method. There are many different ways you could go about doing this. The best way is:

Flash back to Stock 2.1 using an Odin 1 click like the one found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Then use the process i have listed above.

As to your SDcard, You can either use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data, or you can just go balls to the wall and not back anything up.

Not using TiBu is prolly the cleanest way of doing this upgrade to beta 7 because you will have an all fresh install with no residual data on your phone to screw things up.

Hope this helps. PM me is you have more questions.

This isn't really constructive but what's up with people complaining on here? DG isn't a short-order cook, and you aren't exactly what's typically classified as a "paying customer". Jesus.

Whining because you have to open a menu and turn something back on? SMH. What is with people and this sense of entitlement theses days?

I realize you've solved your problem already but it got me to thinking about yourself and others who have trouble with this.

The phone takes up to 20 seconds to turn all the way off.

I noticed one time when I was in the dark messing around with it I could see the screen was on even though there was nothing on the display for several seconds after I thought it was turned off.

Maybe people aren't waiting long enough before they press the volume up and down buttons and plugging in the USB cord.
