Does one always need to flash using odin or can I flash using ROM manager? I'm currently on COG 2.3B6 & am thinking about flashing to a different rom. My laptop is currently out of commission.
[Captivate Android Development] hauj0bb:
I am often experiencing random shutdowns with this rom when the device screen goes to sleep. I've also experienced a shut down once while on a call.

Is anyone else having similar problems, or is this more than likely a hardware issue?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
Most of the Cogn roms flash with CWM, but there were some Odin releases.

What you are talking about sounds like moving off of Cognition. In that case I think you would be taking a big chance on an unusable phone with a CWM. The art of flashing isn't that predictable. Some get away with CWM, others get temporarily bricked.

Just the weird Voodoo and 3e recovery alone make flashing to something else really unlikely without a Stock Odin first.

Do you have a spare phone? You might need one.
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
No I don't have a spare phone. I think you more than answered my question. I'm waiting til my laptop is up & running. Don't need a bricked phone on Thanksgiving. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] computerdan:
Apologies if this question has been asked previously, but I searched and couldn't find anything relating to my problem (unless I'm blind which is TOTALLY possible)...

Anyone experiencing a ton of dropped calls with 2.3b6? At first I thought it was the other person's phone which was crapping out (all iPhones) but then I started noticing that I was the only common factor for the dropped calls. In fact, today I lost 3 calls, each time having to reboot my phone because after redialing the numbers, it would look like the phone was dialing, but it wasn't doing anything at all...

All dropped calls have been in the car while on Bluetooth connection to my Ford Sync - my previous phone (HTC Magic) and it never dropped calls. I don't really use the phone much otherwise, but I do recall at least a couple dropped calls while on headset.

Any insights?
[Captivate Android Development] dpmurphy81:
I like the rom but it has a camera bug in it video cam works camera does not.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
If you look back, loads of people had trouble with the modem flash on this rom.

So, if yours is maybe just messed up a little, it could cause you trouble.

I would try reflashing the modem with Odin, someone else has fixed their no modem phone that way.

Sorry I don't have links to any of that stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
The camera does work for lots of people (including me), but there have been issues.

Reflash might fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] autoxer:
I haven't flashed with Odin except to repair my phone from kernel experimentation/etc since JH3 came out. ROM manager straight over existing rom, works great. Haven't had any problems that can't be fixed by clearing caches etc from within the custom recovery.

I say fire away.

More on the ebay force close issue..

Anyone else notice that it only occurs on the data network, it works fine on wifi. I flashed back to stock last night and encountered the same problem.
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
I usually have a laptop to back me up but I won't have one for a few days. But on the other hand im a flash-aholic. LOL. For the chance of not having a phone for a few days I think I'm gonna wait but I think their wouldn't be any problems if I did flash with rom manager. Thanks buddy!! Appreciate it..
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
I was able to move the camera.apk using super manager however, it did not want to install. I just got fed up and reflashed 2.3b6. But at least now I know about super manager which is a great little program.

Works like a dream now.

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem. Shows the breaks, but it's on one line on the receiver end. Any ideas on how to fix?

copilot8

Can somebody offer some explanation to my huge dilemma? I installed Cog 2.3b6 and everything is working wonderfully except I try to install CoPilot8 live and I get the following error....Invalid Library. CoPilot's code cannot be loaded by the system.!!!

I had it on the stock rom with no issues but I am perplexed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

nevermind....needed a more recent version.
[Captivate Android Development] jorge_moran_jams:
Quick question

I'm so happy with cognition that now I want to do a Nandroid back up... To my understanding to do that I need Rom Manager and there's supposed to be the option, but I need to disable-lagfix first... and after that I remove the disable-lagfix file to go back to where I was before backing up...

Any comments, am I missing anything?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] liqn7:
This is a fantastic ROM but I'm having 1 major back breaking problem :(

I'm only selectively receiving SMSs from people. Some of them just dont seem tot come through. I've tried the default messenger app and Handcent but it makes no difference. I have no problems sending messages though.

Any suggestions? Its a fantastic ROM, but this is a really major problem :(

[Captivate Android Development] cowballz69:
i properly flashed the rom, but i ceep getting lockups when i type something, is there a fix for this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] zipo16:
Hello, I havent found a answer to the question I have been searching for so I figure it is time to ask. Is there anyway to change the applications view? Personally I like a list view over the 3D like box view. I cannot find the option to change this anywhere. Does it exist by chance?

Also the notification icon for 3G and Edge keeps dissapearing, Is this normal or something with Cognition? Any assistance or information would be deeply appreciated.

GPS woes

Hey DG,

Was there any change in gps or anything in b4-6? Everytime I upgraded to either, my gps went whack again. Thanks

I don't believe any changes have been made because nothing had been posted in the changelog.

[Captivate Android Development] johnny13oi:
I have found on beta 5.1 that the wifi when on stays on. Using spare parts app it shows that whenever the wifi is on it is also active. This accounts for a large amount of battery drain.

And I have also set wifi to sleep when screen is off.

Not related to the ROM itself, but did the Cognition Wiki get hacked? All the content's gone!

Just switched over to 2.2.

Is there a way to get rid of the multiple home screens? Also, I like the stock (2.1 eclair) layout. Is there a similar rom or layout that has this?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
hey guys i saw some custom animation on dg's perception tread was wondering if we can flash those animation here at b6? anyone tried it?
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Yeah, stock. :D

Swyping...please read slowly!
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have used odin. Ack to stock once. Otber than tbat I ha e flashed all of tbe current cog roms.with just cwm/rm I just decided.to try and flash cognadian bacon rom the same way and had no issues at all. No bugs or fcs. Now the time I had to use odin I scewed up and also wanted to get.my original android id back. I have not tried any of the other roms besides DGs tbough. I have found that I keep the last 3 cog rom zip files.on my sd card along with tbe new cognadian Bacon rom whci i already fubard trying out circle battery and.other mods. Well with the rom zip files.on there I can use the three buttons to get me back into recovery no matter what, even from a boot loop. Then I just clear user cache,data cache, wipe, then reflash current rom or past roms with no issues. Right on the fly so it works great. I too am a flash freak and.usually do not go more than a couple/ few days without reflashing a cog rom. I have learned to have ALL my apps and settings back with 30 minutes and be up and runnig issue free.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I know that launcher pro has preferences that you can set as to how many home screens..... not sure if the default launcher does.....
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
In regards to any issues with market...or inability to download from 3rd party sites - just reboot or reflash
[Captivate Android Development] tochill:
is this pre-rooted? I know we have to root it to install Cognition but can rooting be disabled after the install? I use good for enterprise and it detects whether or not a device is rooted.
[Captivate Android Development] android158:
lol..... yes its rooted. I think you should read more before you do this.
[Captivate Android Development] tochill:
I've read a good deal of the thread but i can't figure out if you can re-root it and have it still work properly. It doesn't seem to be addressed.
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
why would it matter if its a personal phone?

Question

Hey guys,

I just found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843792 and noticed under the instructions to flash it says "flash Cognition, enable voodoo...". I know that Voodoo is included with certain versions of Cognition, but is it included with 2.3b6?

If so, why would I have to enable it before flashing?

If not, how would I go about enabling it?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] JimmehDean:
Cyanogenmod only works on ext4, not RFS. You need to enable Voodoo by flashing and booting up Cognition. You will here a robotic voice on boot "step 1...". This is enabling Voodoo, which converts the phone to allow Cyanogenmod to work. Correct me, if I am wrong.

There will be a Voodoo folder on your /sdcard/
[Captivate Android Development] weirdboy09:
I'm having problems with the haptic feedback on the keyboards swype works fine but Samsung keyboard is hardly noticeable on the highest setting and android doesn't have any feedback at all. Also, can you edit the home screens anymore seems like thats been taken out.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
If you were a previous version that had it you want to disable it before flashing. You do this by putting a disable-lagfix folder in the voodoo directory of your sdcard.

When you are fine flashing you might need to enable voodoo by deleting this folder, and yes 2.3B6 has voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Not sure about the samsung keyboard but the android one not having haptic feedback is a known bug with froyo.

The launcher packaged with 2.3B6 is launcher2 which does not have any settings. It is much faster than touchwiz. If you want to be able to edit the launcher either install touchwiz from an older rom or a third party launcher from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Root can be disabled write easily from a couple market apis stick as oclf or z4root. I am not sure if this would mess up the rom though. Seems like it wouldn't you would just lose some functionality.

I am not sure if this would work for good though. I don't know how good detects root and using one of this apps might not completely remove root just the access to it.

You guild always try then revert to stock if you needed.
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
Why do people without the answer have to question the poster's reasons?

OP, it depends on how good a job of searching Good does. The key to root is an SUID ARM executable. The standard executable talks to a Dalvik app that authorizes the use of root privileges. The SUID program is installed in a standard location so different applications that want root can find it.

So, if Good only looks for /system/xbin/su to be SUID, simply renaming it would defeat the check. It may also look for the Dalvik app, which means you'd have to delete it. If it were to scan the entire filesystem for any SUID executable, then you'd have to remove the su executable or remove its SUID permission. Only in the very last case would you be be forced to re-root from scratch.
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
First post

I'm running Cog v2.3b6 since Friday 11/19/2010 and everything has been great but for some reason today I can't connect via WiFi. It says obtaining IP address then it says "disabled". It continues to try to scan for a connection every few minutes also.

I have already checked that my wireless router is working correctly, I've got a strong signal to the phone but it just doesn't connect.

I've already searched this thread but still haven't found how to fix this.....though I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Please point me in the right direction.

If you have adb working you can look at you're logs for more info.

Thanks for your help, i don't really have a choice about using good. I will give these a shot and see if this works!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Download a different launcher if you don't like the 3d app drawer. I use Launcher Pro - it has alot of settings and works good for me - my app drawer just scrolls up or down (no 3d).

The e/3g icons are for data. Mine occasionally disappear but only when I am not using data. They always return if I use the browser or an app/widget that uses data.

Launcher Pro

In the past I used and enjoyed Launcher Pro, however I found that after flashing new roms, Launcher Pro often had a problem accessing the sdcard. So I would have to recreate and could not restore settings for Launcher Pro. THUS I switched to ADW Launcher and never had any issues restoring. But I do like Launcher Pro!!! QUESTION: Has anyone had issues with Launcher Pro, or is it now good and able to restore, etc. ??? Is it worth the effort to switch back?

Thanks for your feedback!

Love this ROM DG :D
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I have never had any problems with Launcher Pro (I actually have LP+ but I don't think that makes a difference) personally, so I don't know what to tell you.

No issues, also have LP+, and restore works fine (except widgets, of course).

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
There is a lot of "we dont need lagfix" and a lot of "we do". What issues does the lagfix, or can the lagfix, cause? I have not seen issues, but DG knows a hell of a lot more about this stuff than I do so currently its not applied. Im running 2.2 beta 5.
[Captivate Android Development] fritzgerald:
The issue I get with this is that the stock headphones with the mic work fine but if I plug in a standard stereo cable and hook this to my car stereo or use aftermarket headphones without a mic I get no audio. I may try cutting my headphones with the mic and making a cable that way.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I think the answer is there are specific apps that require the lagfix, period. For me Touchdown was so laggy, it was not even remotely usable. The lagfix resolved that issue.

I general terms, I would say: If you do not have apps stalls and lags opening/using programs on your cappy, don't install lagfix. I think just about everyone that reported lag issues is using Touchdown (Anyone with BAD lag issues not using Touchdown?)

I do not have the full 5.5 beta, so I cannot access the image

I know that, but is there anyway that someone could possibly pull that image for me? I would greatly appreciate it and beer money would be in order. I have a i9000 and cognition hyrbid Rom , but i do not have that wallpaper :(
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I am using mine connected to my Jeep's aux port and it is working fine. Before cutting up cables, I would dig a bit deeper and see if you have an application causing the issue. The only time I do not get audio to output to the Jeep is on phone calls, it wants to use the internal speaker.
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
I haven't installed touchdown in a long time. I was having significant lag and battery drain problems on beta 5.5 with LauncherPro, GMail, and pretty much everything. OCLF V2+ sped it up enormously.
[Captivate Android Development] CPeterson:
I think he's probably just tired of seeing the same lagfix-related questions over and over again, and decided removing it was the best way to avoid them. Once Clockwork and Froyo both support the Voodoo lagfix I'm sure it'll be back in.

I'm assuming similar frustration led to his current anti-benchmark stance, since claiming that Froyo's lack of speed is a fault of every benchmark tested (including NBench) is just ridiculous.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I don't know what kind of decision was made or what it was based on to remove the lag fix but there's a good majority (I'd say) of people here benefiting from the lag fix that makes me wonder why on earth it was removed to start with... (I HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE ENTIRE THREAD)

Even leaving the app on the phone, and giving an easy option for people to install the lag fix (And not doing it by default) would have been more understandable... But to strip it out completely... Not sure what the rationale was.

Again, DG did an excellent job here, I just hope we can improve it with this feedback and add a lag fix back in there. If DG feels it too controversial, just include the app and script to do so, at least...

We can all agree Samsung screwed the pooch on this deal, and they apparently haven't remedied the problem at all... They just relied upon the optimization of Froyo as a smoke screen to the real issue.

I've got apps installed on my SD card and it worked just fine, but to each their own... Must be some problematic apps that are RUNNING, perhaps?

Mine was on and it worked fine... It's not that.
[Captivate Android Development] cruiserbax:
Including Nbench? perhaps I don't know as much about this benchmark as I though. I recently ran a lot of benchmarks on my Captivate and Nexus one both running Froyo and in most of the Benchmarks that do a more across the CPU architecture bench instead of a narrow feature set test the Captivate is a deal faster. take a look at the slideshow attached inside the .rar
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Sorry if this has been covered, but this thread moves quicker than **** through a goose and the wiki doesn't address it (or my reading comprehension really is that poor)

Running eclair (JH7), rooted, OCLF, and clockwork...if I undo OCFL can I install cog 2.2 using the Odin one click installer? Also, what is all this about kernel swaps from 2.2? Does that only apply to people wanting to go from the I9000 froyo rom to cog 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] pamaguin:
After installing the OCLF from the market, I ran a quadrant test and the results are amazing;)
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
What issues can the lag fix cause? I have been keeping up with the thread for a long time and I guess I missed what they can cause. Obviously something since DG removed it and I will say I have seen less issues posted, or less varying issues, since it isnt currently included.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
That is probably one of the reasons DG took lagfix out of the ROM. Benchmarks are a waste of time, it will be obvious to you that you need a lagfix or not. I do not care what a benchmark says.

Seriously people, if you feel you need a lagfix, download RyanZa's OCLF from the market and run it. It takes 2 minutes. If you do not need it, don't download it. It really creates a lose-lose situation when you complain about. Geeze, people are complaining about Titanium Backup being included in the ROM(!).

DG wants it out and there is little good reason to include, since it is easy enough to install yourself. Can we stop talking about it now?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
:eek:

I hope this is a joke...right? :eek: :D
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Something I'd also like to see removed is the stupid "Battery Full" notification nonsense.

On my Eclair ROM it was tweaked (apparently, because I didn't do anything and stock isn't like this I don't think)... To where it'd still give a popup but it wouldn't make noise or wake the phone up.
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
I think it probably has more to do with the websites that you're viewing than the ROM. I have no issues on most pages with Beta4, but I specifically remember ESPN not working properly. Try a different page.
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
It's not too hard to search the market for "OCLF."
[Captivate Android Development] johnyhoffman:
The easiest and most notable speed improvements for me using the lagfix are any apps that load media. Last.fm, Twidroid pro, Facebook, etc.. all load faster and are more responsive with the lagfix. The icons/pictures loaded inside of these apps from internet resources are loaded noticeably faster also. I think if you need/want it, do it.
