BUGs! DG this is worth your time

So i'm experiencing good battery life but not the best. I thought that after using the correct email and gallery app my battery would be phenomenal and its currently at "meh". Looked at spare parts and I see in Network Usage "0" all the way up. Also noticed the kswapd0 in the cpu usage section using wayyyy to much cpu. 31 mins worth.

I've been diggin around and the "0" is a known bug with cyanogen builds but that's as far as I could decipher. kswapd0 on the other hand seems to be a problem with the virtual memory manager. Seems that the system is swapping too much(think of this as page files in linux)

So DG if you still read this thread it might be worth your time to check out these problems so in the thread you can put "Fastest Safest and Longest Lasting Captivate Rom" ;) Just looking out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I asked in an earlier post if that might be possible, but never got a response to that.

I didn't use 2.4, but I did have good success with , and still have access to, 2.3b2. Maybe I 'can try pulling it out of that and see what happens.

Anoother poster replied earlier (he was the one that determined it was not searching contacts) that there was a Google Search Widget (the one wiht the Blue/White G icon) that does search contacts, but the Voice Dial one doesn't. go figure. I have not been able to figure out how to get the BT button to use that other Google Search.

[EDIT]

Well, I pulled Google voice Search from 2.3b2, and installed. Still works like crap. Not sure what to think now.

Also, I installed Edwin. I'm thinking it uses the Google voice for its 'search', because it is acting exactly the same.

Just having zero luck with voice dial no matter what I use, and then of course doing it via BT Button too is not working.

ATM, this is the only thing that I consider a major problem on this ROM.

Try and see if you can adb from either recovery or download mode......

If you keep the update.zip file for cwm (clockwork), you can just boot into recovery, choose reinstall packages, and there you are in clockwork.....

Launcher Pro Backup

One thing I am finding, and have on the last ROM too, is that when I try to use the backup Home Screens and Settings option in launcher Pro, I get an error "An error occurred while trying to create the backup. Please make sure the SD card is available."

I'm going to post a question on it over on LP forum.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?
[Captivate Android Development] kevlar360:

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Per discussions earlier on this current beta, if I use CWM to apply an update (created a new one for framework-res.apk for circle batt), will I lose my Data directory? This is related to the discussion about losing downloaded clock skins, etc, for Beautiful Weather. A few people indicated that going through that, unless I misunderstood, would delete the data directory. I don't recall if it was everything under data, or just a specific directory.

DG said to tell the dev of the given app, that this would be normal for Froyo.

Seems quite problematic to me if it is all data, as there is a lot of stuff there.

I'm off to search for those posts now.

[EDIT]

OK it is not data, it is sdcard\data

I always had that problem since day one on stock. I heard it's due to facebook's slow laggy servers.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
For the record, it works fine on my phone/ROM.

So it's not Facebook's fault.

Perhaps a different SNS application is present in the Captivate ROM? I don't know.

Big Bummer

UOT Circle Batt

I went to this site, and followed instructions. copied the Framework-res.apk from teh ROM, and uploaded it. When I applied it, I get lots of FCs. All screwed up. WTF...

CWM Backed up - > No Good?

Before I did the above apply, I did a nandroid backup. Forget to copy off to PC, or external SD.

I did a restore of it. I did not do any wipes. It boots up like the original ROM, none of my mods; and it FCs, and cycles to the Cog wallpaper, adn back to screen.

Argh....

have I completely misunderstood how CWM works? I thought it was like a complete image of the ROM, including all installed apps, configurations etc. and would bring me back to exactly what it was like when I backed up.

Any thoughts for me? Any suggestions about how to get it up enough to get my backup off? (If it isn't really like an 'image', maybe its worthless anyway. :(:(:(:(

[EDIT]

I went through the restore again, but this time I deleted Davalcik cache, and wiped cache. It boots now w/o ANY of my config or apps; in fact it is missing Market, so I can't install any apps.

Also, after reading earlier suggestion about created a ZIP in TIBU, I had done that. I did the CWM restore of that zip; got nothing.

The ROM/PHone ghosts are after me tonight, and I suspect eventully someone will respond with some learning curve info for me.

Have i love this rom so far. No problems with this. I have the droid x bootanimation and live wallpaper....lol liked it that much but now this is ocomplete for me. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
A few have had that issue, I had it and had to reflash twice. I borked my phone earlier tonight trying to reflash on the fly with JF7OTA..LOL

Came home flashed to stock Master Cleared Flashed to Stock AGAIN and installed 2.3b6. All is well again. But time will tell. this is the best ROm yet. But that has been mentioned. Reboot. If that doesn;t work you will have to reflash.

Someone mentioned checking the Phone information and seeing if you get an "unknown" in the stats. Then you know your modem has not been flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I have found that if I leave my phone plugged in to my PC, not the wall, while flashing, when it boots the first time, it will have unknown as the baseband. If I disconnect it and reboot, it finds the modem fine. So what I have done now is when I see the AT&T screen, if I'm connected to my PC I pull the cord.
[Captivate Android Development] okstate707:
Is there any way I could get a link to the stock android keyboard that was in Cog beta 9? Why was it taken out?
[Captivate Android Development] pyrplhaze:
pretty much. I had this problem too...was only gonna worry if it didn't work on the second flash. went back to stock and reflashed, and no issues! lovin it!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I am back in the saddle. LOL Charging the battery and going to wipe battery.bin after it charges to 100% on the Phone off and on.

I love this ROM. I did something though to bork it. I think looking back what I did was remover the battery and reinstall it before the phone had completely shut down. That is the only thing I can recall that could have caused major FCs on reboot.

Word to the wise...... Make sure the phone is shut down before a battery pull and replacement. That has to be what I did. A ROM won;t just flake out like that. I have flashed every ROM since the release and slipped in a few with apps and rezipping before flashing and never had an issue.

Still wondering though if my Nandroid back up would reflash the phone to stock......If not there really is no way to reflash a phone that has gone south without the PC. Should we make a Nandroid back up of the NEW ROM.? That makes more sense to recover from a failure.

Ok, many newbie hours later, I got adb going. I ended up using the QtADB for newbs.

mounted sd card from recovery, deleted disable voodoo folder.

When it booted, I heard the voice, everything seem to be good, but it still just hangs.

guess im going to just have to re flash

Not going to try again for a little while at least, but any thoughts on why this happened?

I would still like to use the oclf lag fix.

Thank you to all for the help, and the makers of the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
You may need to give more detailed info. How long does it hang? It will do that while building teh Voodoo folders. I've read it can be several minutes, maybe 15 or 20.

Also, are you flashing current beta, 2.3b6? I don't think you will want to do teh 1click lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] okstate707:
That's not quite the same keyboard that was in v2.2 B9. The one I'm talking about (which may have somehow been edited by someone) gave you a lot more settings options than that one. You were able to move the voice icon to the ALT screen and have the comma key next to the space bar on the main keyboard screen and a few other things.

Thanks though, that helps until I can find the one I'm thinking about.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Shoot me and put me out of my mysery...

I finally got it booted to get my backup off. But, after going all the way back to 2.1 and the usual start from scratch routine, after restoring that backup, it just reboots over and over into recovery. I'm not having any luck at all with CWM backups I've created.

I should go to bed, but with this on my mind I won't sleep. One more try.

(I shouldn't do this stuff so late...can't get any suggestions :rolleyes: )

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes I was able to get it disabled without any issues other than it sat on the att screen for ateast 10 minutes before it spoke and said slmething about rfs if I remember correctly. It took WAY LONGER than any other cog release but I think that is expected since it is dealing with more parts other than system or whatever it was it only did. It has 4 things it has to revert back to. I just waited very unpatiently but it worked. I confirmed it was not working then did a flash. When it came back up from the flash I went in a deleted the disable-lagfix folder.

I used one of the circle batterys from nixxed and it is working fine. I did the same thing trying to use kitchen and it would not work for me. I tried to upload my framework or twframework or whichever one uot kitchen says to upload so I could add the circle battery to it and then download it and update. But I got errors saying it couldn't do the uploaded file.

Just use nixxed circle battery. I used B if I remember correctly which is the one with the circle that is parted up. I also tried the circle battery solid too. Make sure to use the 2.3 version

I am not sure if a correct procedure for this has been discussed. If and when the next version of cognition comes out, should we disable voodoo prior to flash?

I know if you odin it will do that anyway but to be honest I never have had to flash stock and have had clean installs. If all we are doing is upgrading, is it recommended to disable? To date I always have, so my instinct is to continue, just checking to see if I am adding a step that is not needed

I almost had a heart attack

Ok I'll say it, I'm afraid to try 2.3b6 because I've been so happy with 2.4.1 that I can't even think a possible way anything could be equal or better, well anyway I was trying to replace the /system/framework/framework-res.apk with one that I downloaded from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799511 and when I rebooted it would loop the boot animation and nothing else... that's the part when I almost had a heart attack... Luckily I don't know how that was even possible but when I plugged my phone to the computer it seemed to be in usb debugging even though it hadn't even finished booting anyway I could save it by replacing the one framework-res.apk I had put with the original file. Those were the worst five minutes ever... lol.

The question is... 2.4.1 is really stable, battery life is insanely good and so is GPS (of course after changing to supl.google.com) the only thing that could make me switch is being able to have all that plus the battery mod... So people what do you say... is it worth a shot or not?

I have a couple of questions if you all don't mind.This is something I am confused about and need some clarification. I've seen numerous post all saying to flash to stock before installing this rom...correct?

If a person is running 2.1 JH7 stock with no mods or root.

....then do you have to actually flash a different stock rom prior to installing this..and if the correct answer is yes..

then why

? Is there something in the JH7 build that is incompatible with this rom ?

Also..could someone please explain to me about flashing the different modems with this rom,and is it needed. I've tried the codes and I see the 850 band 5 on my phone now..so do I need to flash a modem with it or re-enable something to make it work correctly ? I am a little leery on flashing modems since this can brick a phone...or so I've always read.

I appreciate your assistance and patience

Circle Batt

After the terrible experience using the tool at UOT to build a circle battery, I guess I'll ask here: where is one that is known to work on 2.3b6?

The thread we typically get them from indicates it is current for 2.3b4.

I have found in the past that using one that even did work on a previoius version of COG can hose the phone. I am now a bit skittish about trying one.

I borked my flash cutiing and pasting an framework file 'android policy'

One FC after another.. Reflash again. This time I have not changed anything and it's working.

CW is definitely different though. Rewrites some apks in recovery. Don't know why though. Keep reflashing...ALWAYS from JF6 and MasterClear.

just a fyi...

On 2.3b6, I switched back to rfs from voodoo by putting the disable-lagfix in sdcard/voodoo directory and the phone reset back to default install for COG.

This worked fine only on Cognition 2.4 and 2.4.1 which is based on Vibrant rom but it has never worked for me on the Captivate Froyo versions. I tried on both my car that has Bluetooth Voice Recognition support and my headset but it doesn't work on either one. The Voice Recognition does work fine though, just Bluetooth Voice Recognition that doesn't work.
