can you just make it with the music controls and put it up for the ppl that want to use it with the music controls on your next one ?

Browser issue

Strange thing happened - using default browser on 2.3b3 and 2.3b4 when i tried to go to ebay.com browser will load part of the page then device vibrates once, then three more times and browser shuts down...?

Did not experienced anything similar ever before ...

No FC message nothing...

Anyone has similar issue?

Thanks

No issues here, but then again, this ROM seems to rock if you install it clean the first time. I have not had any issues, runs like a champ!

OK here is a question that has me perplexed regarding RAR or Zip files.

Many of the files....(such as Odin for phones without 3 button) come up as a bad RAR file. Also git this with Live Wallpaper Apks

Are people just changing the extensions or are they real ZIP files?

File Type: rar	Odin.rar (163.5 KB, 631 views)

"The archive is either unknown or damaged"

I get this error on a lot of zip files of apks but never ROMS.......
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Still never got my android keyboard working yet...oh well...guess I'll reflash with the new build whenever that happens
[Captivate Android Development] blperks2:
One of the posts in here give good detailed directions of the two files that go in two different files. It was posted last night or the night before I believe. Worked for me after a few failed attempts. It will work as I have both the Samsung and Android installed and working, minus spell check, have not figured that one out yet.

Designgears is now teasing us! lol Cant wait to see the next modification. B4 works so well already! Love your work.

DG's a total boss and always comes on late at night :P since I passed out earlier from a migraine I will be staying up late too, flashing CM6.1 (with a Cog backup of course, I don't totally like AOSP but want to try CM anyway, but will revert back soon), playing some Fallout 3 maybe... donno. Either way, thanks DG for all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
CM6.1 is still buggy as hell, but it was fun to check out :)

Beta5 is live ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
mm beta 5... dling now :D

i have a question-- can you flash over your old roms without deleting everything? i.e. if im on beta 4 can i flash over it without having to do Titanium backup and then reordering my home screen?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
You might as well expect it to wipe data every time unless stated otherwise...
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Getting ready to flash, but Cog, I noticed you removed the reference to the Circle Batteries for 2.3b4 on your site when you uploaded b5 -- can we still use the same ones, or were there significant enough changes where we have to wait for an update on this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You can still use them
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
thanks -- does anybody know how to back up system preferences like ringtone settings/vibration/haptic feedback etc?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
My bad, I meant DG :D -- been a long day -- thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You can do with titanium, but you run the risk of endless force closes after you restore them...

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

If anyone is having zip issues with the update, redownload, it stalled halfway and lots of people downloaded it!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
DG, thanks for the update!

I was wondering if this update includes a fix for the behavior (accelerometer disabling proximity sensor during a call) I mentioned to you on the RC as well as on this thread?
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
I was going to ask about settings but I already see an update :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
should be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:

I'm going to flash and check it out to make sure it works. If it does, I'm going to send you a nice donation (as promised).

So what's changed in this build? I've been running the Tayu 1.0.3 with SetiroN build and the ONLY issue I have is the proximity sensor not always working... I hung up on my bankruptcy attorney a few times today. oops. LOL. No change log on the site yet. :)
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
DG, I downloaded 2.4 and 2.4.1, but haven't flashed 2.4.1 because I actually like the vibrant camera (I don't use online photo albums so I haven't had any fc issues). I do have battery issues though so I was wondering how I could have the battery tweaks and keep the vibrant camera.

Also, why did you switch back to the ji6 kernel and jj4 modem?

Thanks in advance DG

[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
In a post the other day dg said he went back to ji6 because of the vibrant rom battery drain
[Captivate Android Development] a3plew:
Hey Dg great work on your newest rom. Any estimate on when beta 6 will be released since your teasing us with that change log.."fastest captivate rom around" :O ..
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks for that - I was looking at the OP wiki.

I guess I'll back up my phone and flash this... Although I'm really enjoying my 2300 Quadrant scores with SetiroN and overkill filesystem...

I get bored with my ROMs though hehe... doesn't take long. I flashed my Evo every other day...
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
You can use SetiroN's kernels with cog if you want.

Some claim to have issues, I have been using SetiroN 1.2.6 w/ jpp modem w/ cog 2.3b3 for a week and it has worked very well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] dvdmkr:
Yes... I did that as well except I used SetiroN 1.3.5 on Cog2.4b4.

It's ok but even with numerous times of battery recalibration, battery drains so quickly...

I'm not even OCing. Down/Up speed was around 2.5/1.5. That's due to JG8 and JPP Modem. Loved the fast internet, but I reverted back to JH7 bone-stock...

Wondering the same. I did a search and could not find what the updates are. I am going to install in anyways. Just wondering what I should be looking for.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
If there are any changes to the changelog they don't get updated to the wiki till around 6am cst the next day. So dg made the changes last night. I updated the wiki this morning at 6am. Now if I am awake and the changelog is updated on dg's site and I see it then the wiki's changelog will be updated then.

So with that said DG's site is the best resource to see what changes are done to the rom before going to the wiki. Now if we could just get dg to make those updates on the wiki himself (J/K and not needed) then there wouldn't be the lag lol.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Have you ever heard of a changelog? It's right there on DG's site or on the wiki. Just look at the changelog and it will tell you what the changes are. They are never posted in this thread.

I had this happen occasionally on cog 2.2.x as well. I found it to be related to flash banners (ebay, woot). You can try to disable plug-ins in the browser and see if that helps. I never found it to be consistent or fixable. Seems that there is some specific flash content that causes it

DG, just out of curiosity....how is the Vibrant ROM so different from the Cappy ROM that it is able to handle a lock screen choice option? I thought it really was just a hardware difference between the two phones.

Does anyone know the shared android id we were all using with 2.1.6? And if I change my id to that, would I be able to install the version of swype that came with 2.1.7 onto these froyo roms? I've had it with this version of swype. It's awful. There's so many junk words on this version (possibly foreign) that it is completely inaccurate.

Is this confirmed by anyone else that has updated to the newest ROM?

Never mind. Missed that the reboot fixed.

Replacing system applications

Love the new update DG. :-)

Question - What is the best way to change out a system application?

I have noticed that if I move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app that the application will work, but they don't update properly.

Then I got a bright idea to put in symbolic links instead. For some applications this works perfectly and on others, I am getting double notifications.

What method do you suggest for seamless integration and constant updates?

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I wonder if it is possible to backup a file that is the dictionary (specifically learned words) so that we could put it back upon a ROM update. That way we won't have to retrain Swype, and possibly won't have a dictionary with a bunch of bad words.

I'lve looked around just a bit. Will look more. But if anyone comes up with it or can verify the thought process, let us know.

[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Why beta still? ROM is very stable - no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
That would be great. One proven with the version of swype that DG keeps using though is that these words seem to be permanent. You can't delete them. They might be built into the apk.

One example of a junk word you can't delete is "br". It forces you to be deadly accurate typing "be". That defeats the strength of swype.
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
He's calling it beta until it is based off of an officially released rom.

voodoo

First and foremost you guys are doing great work on the cog roms.

but re: voodoo

Has anyone else come to the conclusion voodoo is only good for improving quadrant scores.

The fastest most lag-free rom (from real-time noticeable user interface experience) i have used yet was the voodoo-less 8.1.

When i went from 8.1 to the newer ones with voodoo i had noticeable lag.

Updated to the newest with voodoo this morning and the lag was very noticeable when scrolling home screens....market etc.

Disabled voodoo lagfix and walla no more noticeable lag. Maybe in playing 3d games or something there would be improvement but in regard the the OS and user interface disabling the lagfix gets rid of my lag.

Please HELP!! I love this ROM but I hate having to put a pin in every time I use the phone due to my exchange account. Is there an email apk that can bypass the dang pin.

[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
Hey guys, i installed Froyo using ODIN when came out here on october 2nd. I897UCJ6 Kernel version 2.6.32.9.. so far i have been using the rom and really its very slow and drains my battery like crazy. i Needed to buy a second battery to survive the entire day.

Now with this new Rom v2.3b5.1 i was wondering what will be the best method to install it.. Using ROM manager or ODIN again. My phone is rooted.

Thanks guys for your help and making my captivate better every day .

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Worked fine for me just now... if you are trying to use an odexed version it wont work.

You would have to do a bunch of file renaming thru adb.. I do it so I know when someone is using another kernel and complaining about issues that aren't related to my rom but the different kerenl.

Well, you should stick with what you like. Real world performance has a huge boost for me. You should consider backing up your phone and completely wiping it. Also, do tests AFTER media scanner has stopped. To many jump right in and start posting saying its slow before it has a chance to completely boot.

As usually, don't like it, don't use it :)

This isn't OCLF, Voodoo converts the partition to ext4, it does NOT create a mounted file on top of the RFS partiton, everything will run as if it were RFS, just faster.

The choice between odin and rom manager is an easy one. Use odin 1-click to revert to stock, then run RM to update to the latest Cog files because there is NO ODIN VERSION posted (not for the last couple of releases anyway).

Titanium Backup will allow you back everything up. With the Pro version, you can restore them all in one batch.
