Update after a day on 8.1

Had jsut went to 8.1 from 2.16. Not moving to 9 yet.

Some of my experiences.

Applied the Z4MOD, (Right name? Don't recall), and it kept it from some of the lags. But overall, not that much different in speed from Cognition 2.16 or 2.17, subjectively

Can't really comment on battery as I play with it so darned much.

Tasker seems to work well on this ROM

I have 100 apps installed...crazy I suppose...but it is handling them well

However I have had it freeze in suspend mode (ie, had to pull battery to reboot). But I will say it did that also on 2.16. So I suspect I have a problematic APP.

GPS - Worked lousy as installed. Copied the Jupiter6 files from the GPS thread in and it works pretty well.

Have had various FCs. Didn't keep track of them.

Blue Tooth Voice Activation

Google Voice - Does not launch via Blue Tooth

Vlingo Voice - Intermittently launches with blue tooth. Sometimes it does not hear me speak a command by blue tooth. This may be a problem with Vlingo, as opposed to this ROM

I have to continually clear the data on the market to keep it downloading. I think I was having that issue on 2.16 also. Not sure what keeps mucking that up

Scrollable widget (Pure Calendar) does not work on the home screen via Launcher Pro. That one frustrates a bit.

Overall very useful and not problematic in any way...that is I seem to be able to count on it

I'm not seeing what the buzz is about Froyo. (I haven't plalyed with moving apps to SD, if that is of much consideration). DG's great 2.16-7 builds work so good, hard to make this look any better.

My main reason ultimately to want Froyo would be for voice control via Blue Tooth, and its still sketchy for now.

I suspect I'll stay on this rom unless I start having issues, or a newer one with enough reason to move comes out. The Voodoo in 9 sounds like it may be reason enough, but I'll hang in for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Did you flash clockwork recovery so the update.zip is on your sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Root explorer....copy and paste...modifying framework for dummies....precisely why I do it that way ;)

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I screwed up and forgot to undo lagfix before doing ODIN. At what point as I wait for my phone to finish on the ATT white screen do I begin to worry? What are the implications of forgeting to undo one click lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] Pbizkit:
Yea I did.. I got to the clockwork recovery and selected the beta9 but after it does its thing I get stuck
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Odin3 needs to be already running before you plug in the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Is there no need for the PHONE and CSC files or should I use those from 2.2 B6?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
You shouldn't worry. I have done it many times and im pretty sure it just overwrites the lagfix and doesn't actually cause any problems. I have left OCLF installed with a lagfix at least 5 times and flashed a new rom and haven't had problems. You should be fine.

Come to think of it, I didnt uninstall OCLF before I installed beta 9 via Odin this morning lol
[Captivate Android Development] tegots:
updated to beta 9 and my live wallpapers are still screwed up...

anyone had this problem or know how to fix it ?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Errrgggg forgot that DG changed that to .jar files. I was running Beta2 for the past month and noticed that the changelog's stated it was completely de-odexed and didn't feel like flashing until 9 came out with voodoo. The framework's just for the battery and the notification pull down. Had a brain fart lol. I'll search for it though. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
All you need to install is whatever is in the Beta9 zip. Should just be the PIT and PDA. No need to mess with the phone and csc.
[Captivate Android Development] khoop:
it was brotha still its not moving im stuck still at the same place.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Well you may as well restart, because it's obviously not going anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
Ok, I got it now. My mistake was restoring to stock before flashing. I restored 8.1, then Oding flashed over that, now my soft keys work again.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
Had B8.1 and flashed Odin B9.

Every DG rom seems to be better than the one before. (B8 doesn't count)

I have restored all user apps with TiBu verified use of each one.

1. Gallery and media access is much faster

2. "My Tracks" kept a near perfect log of my 5.5 hour drive today. (I lost GPS for about 2 minutes in one spot) http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117762734995961469074.00049375dbec861928950&t=h&z=13

3. BT pairs with car and no more "Connected with Null."

4. Data connection has been constant, DL speed rocks and flash content looks great. UL sucks, but who video chats anyway...

5. Flashing to B9 from B8.1 was flawless.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
In my thread in this forum. Look for ji6 mods.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
Thanks for the reply. Took forever and it finally came back and everything was cool.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Ftr: the jk version has better gps
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
OK, last 2 questions. Maybe.

How do I revert back to the stock startup screen (I actually dig the S animation)

How do I revert back to the water spots wallpaper

This site just has WAAAY too much info
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
JK? can you clarify
[Captivate Android Development] tegots:
anyone can help me with the stock live wallpapers ?! all mine are so ugly after 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
The water drops wallpaper is in the wallpaper chooser on your phone...
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
i think i bricked it help

noob I am. followed instructions and my phone won't boot up. It goes between att screen and recovery screen. I choose reinstall packages and I get msg can't open update.zip. Please help.
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
Hi

Has anybody experienced a total blue screen while flashing beta9? I"m trying to flash on a stock JH7 that came as a replacement from AT&T, it only had unleash the beast put on.

Now while copying Factoryfs it just went to blue screen.

Any clues?
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
BUGS***

Pandora widget gets stretched to the point the FF button is not visible. (I noticed this with an earlier version, but a reboot cleared it up)

Bluetooth Remote SIM activated icon stays in the notification area (also present with older ROMS-Even if you deactivate Remote SIM mode it appears to do nothing, and icon stays)

FC with the market app.

Positives:

Seems much quicker and smoother. (Not sure if it's a seat dyno as I have no #'s, but, sure seems that way)

Addition of various modes to shutdown (Download, Recovery, etc) _Makes AnReboot obselete

SIDE NOTE: Not sure if it's just my battery, but, it's horrendous. I charged and wiped prior to the install, but, I've only had this ROM installed for 10-12 mins and I'm down to 90%...TERRIBLE
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
This happened to me a few times too, all I did was search the dev forum for the stock JF6 and flash that through odin and it went through after the second time. Mine went from total blue screen, then total pink, then total yellow, then flashed all the way through.
[Captivate Android Development] kavi:
It's been a while...

First of all DG thanks for the great ROM.

Been trying to fix a problem which I have been trying to fix since morning.

On 8.1 and 9 both exchange email replies don't have the reply text. I don't know whether it's just me but tried the following.

> Stock 2.1 replies works fine

> 8.1 replies go out but no reply text included just the original message

> 9 replies go out but no reply text included just the original message

If I remove the original email in the reply then the reply text goes out fine.

Anyone?

BTW googed all around before throwing it out here
[Captivate Android Development] topshelf95:
You need to check out the WIKI in the Captivate Android development section. There is a link to "Odin One Click" which will restore your phone back to stock from pretty much anything. I think the instructions are there to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] boricua022:
Thanks for the prompt reply. But unfortunately it didn't work, I installed 2.2b9 and still no joy. Like you said, hopefully it will be fixed with official build. Non the less it's a great rom :).

Cognition 2.2 beta 9
[Captivate Android Development] schuob:
How do you know voodoo is install?

I got Beta 9 up and running but no clear indication that voodoo is installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
After I flashed mine today I went for a test drive at work. I used My Tracks with Data and GPS enabled (obviously). I also used my phone for note keeping and accessing Quick Office during stops in my route. I did NOT charge my phone for the entire drive. I started with 94% when I left and returned with 42%. The following are the specs from my trip;

Created by My Tracks on Android.

Total Distance: 56.08 km (34.8 mi)

Total Time: 4:28:18

Moving Time: 3:14:23

Average Moving Speed: 17.31 km/h (10.8 mi/h)

Max Speed: 106.67 km/h (66.3 mi/h)

Recorded: Mon Oct 25 09:46:34 CDT 2010

Activity type: Driving uplander

I think that was a solid run with 50% loss considering the load. Since I charged the phone after the work day and have been enjoying normal usage, I am holding a lasting charge.

NOTE: I am not arguing your observation of poor battery efficiency. Only posting my contrasting experience and observation. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
How do you disable voodoo if you need to reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Either adb shell or use terminal emulator and type: mount | grep ext

If there is no output then it isn't.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Just got Beta 9 going from beta 5.5 today. I am very pleased and the phone seems to run smoother now. Swype no longer tries to give me tips every other time I input a word, it now deletes words from the Dictionary properly. I really like that the stock lock screen is back since I can now just go straight to my texts through the lock screen puzzle. Also really like how I can now control the media player again from the lock screen :D

I really didn't want to start modding my phone and flashing it but I bricked it a few weeks ago trying to install some themes, so I had no option but to use Odin3 and decided to flash Cognition 5.5
[Captivate Android Development] thehavock18:
When you do a system restore you have the potential to copy over some newer files they may have been edited to run under a certain environment.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Thanks for that...

I'm already down to 79% playing Pandora (trying to drain it again and charge it overnight to see if that helps )

So they sell a battery the same dimensions with higher Mah?
[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
Just did the 8.1 to beta 9 flash this evening, painless =)

Very nice work DG. Speed is up all around, gui, sys, etc.

Similar issue with remote sim mode icon staying even when shut off, but really I do not even know what that is or does, nor do I care to find out.

Whats with the swapping back and forth with the UIs btw?

Beta 7 android, 8.1 and 9.0 tw?? Previous appeared to be heavily modified =)

All in all good update will have to test GPS in the morning on my way home...

-D
[Captivate Android Development] ragingclue:
Tried the flashing back to stock method 5 times tonight for Beta9. The method has worked for just about every version of every ROM that's been posted in this subforum, but no dice. Even redownloaded the ROM zip itself from the Cog website to make sure. I just get boot to recovery every time. No biggie though I'll try the ODIN method tomorrow and it's quite probable I'll just be sticking with the AOSP b4 anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] deakinsjello:
It's a known issue with the froyo leaked version of the email app. I've been just replacing the provided Email.apk with the one DG provides within the AOSP ROM, no reply issues there.
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
Battery is the best I've seen on 2.2. I have calibrated and haven't changed my app setup.
[Captivate Android Development] ganelorm:
Have attempted to install the lastest update 3 times without sucess

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to get this installed.

Decided to reflash back to stock 2.1 using odin.

Download the latest version of the ROM. Moved it to my internal SD card.

Rooted phone. Removed the update.zip file from internal sd card.

Downloaded ROM Manager from market and chose Flash Clockwork Mod verified there was an update.zip on the root of my internal SD card.

Openned Rom Manager, chose Install ROM from SD Card, Selected Cognitionv2.2BETA9.zip.

Rebooted phone. Had to select Reinstall packages. Chose Install from SD card. Got the Installation complete message.

Selected Go Back from menu. Selected Reboot system now.

Phone reboots then ends back at the Android system recovery screen.

Rebooted again and same thing.

Not sure where to go from here.

Help please.
[Captivate Android Development] magnumrt562:
Flashed this from stock jf6, master-cleared, WITHOUT the sim per DG's instructions... now my texts dont work. I can receive texts, but every text i try to send says failed... i always flashed with the sim in, and never had this problem... any ideas/fixes i can try? thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah the CW one is hosed up if you restore to stock...You will need to use the Odin version or flash to 8.1 then use CM to flash to 9...
[Captivate Android Development] jiayi345:
Installed beta 9. Battery went from 100% to 9% in 5 hours. Plugged in a charger and it instantly jumped to 35. Flashed again and it went back to 9. Popped out sim and flashed again and now I'm 35 again. Its not reading correctly. Doesn't appear to represent actual battery %. This isn't a rant. Just reporting findings.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
If you leave this forum for a few hours, its hard to keep up! BUT, I have seen some reference battery life. My battery dropped about 10% in 1 hr after it was in the 80% range but I couldnt kill it after that. I think flashing and starting at 100% is a great thing to do (I always flash with the SIM out), but I dont think you can fully take the percentage at any face value until completely depleting the battery and establishing the top and bottom. Could be wrong but there is no way I dropped that much in 1 hr and then 5% in then next 2 hours with the same usage.

So far, so good for me, I have zero complaints. I PREFER the other lock screen, but thats personal choice. Gotta be picky, its so damn good DG!!
[Captivate Android Development] tellim83:
Go to messaging app, menu, settings, scroll to message centre...do you have any numbers there beginning with a +???
[Captivate Android Development] Marke001:
Ok this may seem like an odd question, I went from 2.2b6 - B9 last night and all good, smooth and no issues I can see except for 1 odd thing. Twice my phone has started to play random music or tune and i cant work out why. When I unlock everything looks normal just music playing and if I push the vol or power button it stops ? Any ideas ?
[Captivate Android Development] ganelorm:
ty jhernand1102 flashing the Odin version seem to have worked.
[Captivate Android Development] pyrplhaze:
So...just flashed from beta7 to 9. Used CWM to flash. so far seems all is well. There is a voodoo folder, showing beta 9 on the build# and (no trouts please) quadrant just ran a 1427, and on the voodoo_last_boot.txt, it's pretty obvious that it's active.

will post the little things as I tinker for the next hour or so...
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Anyone have problems sync google account? Mine wont sync now and keeps reverting me to the verification screen where you copy the txt...just keeps looping, cant open market without. any ideas? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] jdubdieslo:
Question

I'm just sold my N1 and got a Captivate. Rooted it, installed clockwork recovery. Flash 8.1. When I wanted to wipe and flash this Rom it shows the stock blue recovery and not clockwork. Opened Rom manager and flashed clockwork again and had to open the recovery through Rom manager. Does anyone else have a similar issue with the Recovery disappearing? Or if not what am I doing wrong?

next question. on the n1 I had DT A2SD for my ext 3 partition on my SD card. Does this Rom support any A2SD ext? If so does it work with internal or external SD? and is it 2,3 or 4?

One more, how do you set on the phone to use the external SD card instead of internal?

Thanks for you help!!
[Captivate Android Development] g0dzilla32:
if I wanted to add back the feeds and updates widget.. how would I do that.. I have apk... dropped it in app folder, but wont install?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I have no clue? I know linux floats the RWIN values as needed(same as windows7) however I'm not sure where those settings are as well. Seems like nobody anywhere else has either. I searched XDA and google and found nothing. Only a few people have even thought about it. But it could be a performance bump. As long as it is compatible to att's infrastructure and we will good to go. If not we will get fragmentation in our packets, which will be easy to spot.

Now to find out where this elusive settings is
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
thank you sir!! confirmed HSUPA working by my speedtest at just under 1.3 mb/s upload.

btw, i did as you said, and flashed them separate....kernal first, modem second. worked great and took all of 5 minutes. I think it took longer to download both of them than it did to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
flashed 4 times so far... and sideloading hasn't worked once...

am i doing something wrong?

one click to jf6, clockwork to cognition and stock lock...
[Captivate Android Development] AllTheWay:
Before and After

Before and after speed test with the new kernel and modem file.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Mine too. Sometimes it switches back and forth :\

Isn't voodoo a kernel thing? What does flashing other parts of other kernels do to it?
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
are people noticeing big differences with browsing speed after hsupa? I went to a few sites and it was very fast, but to be honest, it has been awhile since i have browsed on the network data.
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
I used the market on mine and BLAZING. downloaded 3 items at the same time and it finished all three before it would have finished just one stock.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
i borked the sideloading ... I am fixed it again.. it was using stuff from the other kernel for logging...
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
jeez what a newbb :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Hey Gears I got a question. Was it you that had the signature that had some nutjob noob saying some thing like I rootin phone, now broke, calls dont work but i can hear them they cant hear me, crying. SOme crap like that it was funny can you post that for me. I need a good laugh!
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
gah i cant stand it. i thought i was going to stick with beta7 voodoo but cognition has me curious. Performing TiBu now. So basically is it just easier to flash stock jf6 and then cognition in rom manager? Ive been trying to read back a few pages but its not exactly easy or clear even from 10 pages back when hsupa was added :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
easy bro. disable voodoo, then flash back with 1clicker, root it , add rom manager , push the Cognition onto card, use rom manager to flash from rom, find the file,click, and your done.

That the easy way, i did it the hard way to have to add in hsupa so you just saved a few 3 steps or so
[Captivate Android Development] Diametunim:
This, Just ran though this process comming from SRE v.1.2 and it's leaps and bounds better. It's blazing fast. My only qualm is that Sideloading doesn't work without some ADB work.

I can only pray for a version that uses Launcher pro as the launcher and includes the stock android lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
noooo i'm back on stock with no new cognition!!! i need a working link with the fixed sideloading please (:

EDIT: nvm just saw the updated op. I'll wait patiently (:
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
sideloading is working on my phone, just updated the Sirius app. Worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
awww dang. did i just miss the part about disabling voodoo BEFORE one click or was that your edit? well i just did one click before voodoo disable. is it safe to say i should do the voodoo disable now?

EDIT: actually i just noticed the main page addressing the recent sideloading problem. ill be at my desk doing nothing so maybe ill just wait for the new kernel and hang out in the chat room while i wait lol

Edit 2: It felt like the lagfix was removed after one-click anyways. ran the disable process anyways and im pretty sure it "felt" like nothing had changed
[Captivate Android Development] justflorin:
hsupa is working awesomely...5200 / 1300 now vs 2200 / 300 before!

Sideloading is busted on mine too, tried downloading a file off my SD card and no go...what should i do?

update on main page...here it is:

Side loading is broken with the new kernel, FIXING NOW!!
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
you are probably on the version w/o hsupa. su worked fine for me on that one also.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
True, I haven't put the new version on because I am too tired to start all over again, plus not sure if I'm wanting to try this new version. I love my phone how it is now.
[Captivate Android Development] dijitalm:
Did anyone figure out what FULLY DEODEXED means?

Edit: nevermind, found it here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/18275-what-deodexed.html

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
[Captivate Android Development] dijitalm:
Alright so I have 2.2 beta, is there a big noticeable difference going to 2.2 beta 2? Also, what would be the procedure from going to 2.2 beta to 2.2 beta2? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
Read the FAQ from the Cognition website, please.
[Captivate Android Development] dijitalm:
I did read it. I am asking if there is a noticeable difference which isn't said in the FAQ. As far as the installation procedure goes, I should have said that it looks to be the same if you go back to 2.1, then upgrade to 2.2. I just wanted to verify that. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
yes, you have to go back, seeing as Rom manager doesn't work in 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] dijitalm:
Alright cool, thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
I haven't noticed any difference between the Beta versions as far as how well they run. Both have been as smooth as butter for me. ymmv
[Captivate Android Development] himmelhauk:
It was suggested that the reasoning for only 304mb of RAM is because the GPU is using some as well.
