Good question! When I use the gallery, I have to first resize the picture, which takes literally about one second. Maybe 2 seconds if I've been drinking. So it's a very small thing, but I like how the wallpapers in the wallpapers folder do it automatically. :)

On a side not, I think I may have found some answers for #3 here (don't know if xda lets me post links yet, if it doesn't post it, it's DG's first post... makes me feel pretty dumb for asking!): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786532&highlight=wallpaper

I think I might have to buy root explorer though because astro isn't letting me see what's inside /data

If anyone knows the answer to the second question I asked in the post above, about the garbage files, any help would be great!

You should never flash if you do not have a means to completely recover from a botched flash. You also should have made a nandroid backup, you could have flash back to that and been on your way. Its not the roms fault, I flash like 30-40 times a day without incident.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
NO DOUBT..My bad..I live dangerously Flashing a device is always a risk anyway..

However would the Nandroid back up be ok without disable-lagfix on a dead phone that can get into recovery?

My concern was I flashed from stock twice and had issues. I am wonering if I have a bad app. The phone was unusable anyway becasue of the FCs so I figured i would give it a try. Nothing to lose at that point.

DG Your ROMS are great and I have donated a few cases of beer and more to come. I have not lost confidence in them LOL

Next time I will do a nandroid back up of the stock ROM. Never needed it before but I am learning not to be over confident in these things..LOL....

When i get home i wiull reflash and see what's up or brick it!! LOL

I think I will pick up a "Frankeinsten" used Cappy on Ebay for messing around with and keep the last really stable ROM for me 2.3b4 ROM on the other. ( Idid not have a chance to try 5) It's worth $300 to have a single back up for two Cappys , My wifes (cog 2.3b4) and mine. Insurance would cost $10 a month on both with a $100 deduct anyway..live and learn
[Captivate Android Development] HBeezy:
I had same problem a few days ago. It ended up fixing itself, and I just assumed facebook was having issues. I was still running cog 9.1.3 with touchwizgtg at that time.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I think the problem with the nandroid is that the kernel (and maybe the modem too), don't get saved.

I went back to a nandroid on a different kernel once and it was a bit messed up.

Since many of these releases are a kernel and rom, nandroid back is only as good as the kernel you happen to have on there, unless you can odin in the correct version.

I had a problem like yours when I went to 2.3b5.1, and it took the whole, flash stock, master clear, format SD, bit to recover.

Today I went from 2.3b5.1 to 2.3b6 without any real drama at all, so I don't think 2.3b6 is to fault.

With all the different versions of stuff getting cooked into these roms, it's no wonder that sometimes we have to start over.

Great Job DG, as always
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I don;t think its the ROM as I read every post and I am the only poster with a catastrphic failure.

(others have had the "invisable SIM" issue which lead to this though.)

I ALWAYS flash from Stock and Master clear though. That is what has me bewisldered.

I am not sure a Nandroid back up of the stock ROM would have saved me either.....Maybe DG was referring to a nandroid back up of the NEW ROM???

That may have been a savior.

[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Hey I have been searching around, trying to get this figured out, so if anyone is wondering: To answer #3 above: you can't! For some reason android doesn't have the wallpapers in a folder, instead they are in a .apk, which strikes me as strange. HOWEVER, there are apps on the market that address this issue, so if you are lazy like me and want to set wallpapers w/o resizing, try the app 'wallpaper label.'

As the name implies, you have to use a Voodoo doll and name it "designgears" and do what must be done!

Or, you know, what has been said about the "disable-lagfix". If you do not have a Voodoo folder in your SD then maybe something is really messed up. It should be there :)

Not only is how to disable vodoo in on the first page, and the wiki but I also but a zip file in a post the all you need to do is copy it to SD and extract it to the vodoo folder. Come one guys show at least a little respect to DG and not clutter up the thread with questions that have been answered a hundred times.
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
As recommended from DG on the page where you downloaded the ROM:

flash back to I897UCJF6 (Recommended)

http://www.ponack.net/designgears/index.html

If most users would heed the recommendations of DG, there would be far less post in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
can't very well disable voodoo is there is no voodoo folder now can I??? I wasn't sure if in the latest release voodoo had to be enabled first. sorry for asking a question
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Okay, I just have ONE request that everyone follow before they post any problems they are having...

If you can take the time, out of all respect for DG & Everyone else on these forums, and PLEASE flash to stock and follow the recomended & proper instructions BEFORE you post with any problems your experiencing...

As I stated before, 95% of the problems posted on this thread can be fixed by flashing to stock first and doing a master clear, and using the proper instructions to flash the rom!

Please, just do us all that one favor and we will not be so hard on you! It's just out of respect for everyone, thats all!

It seems as though no one on here is still using 2.4.1. I'm still using it and it is working great. Was there some crippling bug in that rom that caused everyone to flee it? or is everyone just trying to stay up to date?

Also designgears said there were too many problems with the vibrant rom that the 2.4 series was based on but I did't see an exorbitant amount of issues in the comments.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Battery calibration that was posted previously, which I can't find now, made a HUGE difference on my phone! HUGE!

- Plug in wall, charge till 100%.

- Unplug. Turn off. Plug in until battery reads 100%.

- Unplug. Turn on. Once phone is fully on, turn off.

- Plug in until battery reads 100%.

- Unplug and notice the difference.

Who ever came up with this, I thank you! I purchased extra 2 batteries on eBay. I'm going to be doing the exact same steps for both!

For people who are experiencing battery issues, I'd highly recommend trying to above steps.

The only problem with this concept is it won't let you uninstall these apps unless you uninstall them using ABD or by using Titanium Backup.

It's up to you if you want to keep it this way since I figured out a way around this but it may not be convenient for others.

Thank you. I was running 2.2 base for awhile, and Cog 5.5 convinced me to see what's up, so I'll notice if there's a difference. I realize it does not alter CPU/mem throughput, but rather the I/O to the disk. I don't know why people are discounting it citing CPU and mem benchmarks aren't benefiting. *shrugs*

Is it JUST ME or does almost all the people tbat have gone to b6 lately that have issues say they flashed back to stock with odin? I have only flashed back to stock once because of a user error tryjng to add something and then to get my original android id back. For at leaat the last 5-6 cog roms I have just used cwm/rm to install new roms. Of course when I update I hit the clear user data and cache a couple times. Then wipe. Then I install the rom. Then install themes. Then install circle battery. Then reboot. I have had NO force closes in a long time. Just curious if odin stock is causing some of the issues people are having.

This seems to be the exact issue. I have modem.bin, do I just select the it with the PHONE button?

EDIT: Yeah, it's phone. This fixed it. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I have found that to be a problem in all Cog 2.2 ROMS. Someone mentioned to me something which is a work-around.

For example: I would have bluetooth connected and be in Vlingo Car Home. That will 'listein' for you. I would say "Hey Vlingo", and it would pop up and say "What would you like me to do?". Then when I responded, it would not hear at all.

The work-around was: Bring down the notification bar; disable blue tooth; re-enable blue tooth.

Maybe its the order of how its done or somehthing.

I'm thinking getting blue tooth to work good will be waiting on the official release, some time next year, from what I read earlier in this thread.

Also, another alternative: Use this app, and it can be set to launch Googlel voice, Vlingo, and maybe other apps, by pressing the BT button. And I've had pretty good luck with them hearing me.

I find, per a post I put up ealier and responses to it, that Google Voice Search that comes up with the BT key does NOT search contacts, so you can't do voice dial with that. And Vlingo is so so for accuracy.

WiFi

Unfortunately, my first post expressing delight about how the WiFi seems to not disconnect was a bit premature. However, it IS much better and not disconnecting nearly as often.

Performance

I am seeing occasional freezes (severe lags?) I am going to turn on settings for Autokiller and see if that helps (Nope. I won't debate the merits here).
