The only issue I had with sl4a was trying to take the lag fix off. Even though it gives you the option to remove it, i had problems left and right with it when it was in previous versions of SRE (remember that one?). Whereas, with OCLF, I've never had issues removing the lag fix. To each his own I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
I haven't had any issues with sl4a... but I've only had it since last night so I guess I haven't used it much. Should I do a fresh install of 2.2 then oclf or can I just remove sl4a ext2 lagfix and use oclf?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
If you aren't having any issues, then I would say stick with it. Just keep an eye out for anything wrong. But if it's working for you, then stick with it. No need to reflash unless it's screwing up on you. But like I said above, I had issues with sl4a and removing the fix. Others may not, so up to you.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
could you let me know what issues you were having so I know what to be on the lookout for? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ajayendra:
Thanks a lot!

Worked!
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Basically, when I tried to remove the sl4a lagfix, for whatever reason, it made my phone would go black forever and then shut off. After that happened once or twice, I said screw it and downloaded SRE without sl4a and installed that. I remember there being some warning that poped up on the screen about removing ext2 file would do something bad, blah blah blah. Mind you, I'm not the most tech savy. Tried to remove it and it borked on me. So instead I went with OCLF and then Voodoo. I actually miss Voodoo, hope that comes to COG froyo eventually.
[Captivate Android Development] nickbarbs:
ok, clearly i'm dumb, anyone help me understand oclf?

I install ext 2 tools then what? i dont see anything to convert

right, gotta charge up my battery to 40%, 15 percent aint cuttin it.

So far loving the rom. Froyo is pretty beast.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I tried installing the OCLF and when it rebooted it was constantly having a force close with android.process.phone so I'm starting over again.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
can someone pull talk.apk (google talk) from their build. Mine got messed up during titanium backup restore

edit: nm, pulled it from the update zip
[Captivate Android Development] NeoXerO:
Wow.

This rom is awesome. Especially after applying the lag fix, this rom is blazing fast. I didn't have any troubles with the "force closes". It only happened to me once: The first time the rom booted, I had to force close the phone app. The same thing happened to me on Stock 2.1 though, so that's normal for me.

People having problems with being forced to force close apps, I believe it's because of Titanium Backup. I didn't use it, so I'm not having any trouble. I think that Titanium Backup isn't completely compatible with Froyo on our phones yet.

Anyways, thanks a lot, this rom is just awesome.

Also, does anybody know a way to disable flash on the browser? Flash slows down the browser significantly on pages with a lot of flash content.
[Captivate Android Development] adityaksharma:
any one find any improvement with their gps? mine puts me pittsburgh, am in columbus ohio right now, so its accurate within 200 miles or so, needless to say am returning my captivate and waiting for hd7 :D
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
you may have gotten one of the first versions which had a problem with the market. I would recommend downloading again from DG's link and starting over. BTW, install it with rom manager from your stock flash.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
only odd thing i've noticed is TTS extended (probably not the exact name) is missing from the app store. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on sort of the intermediate version of 2.2 beta, still has sl4A lag fix but no problems whatsoever (i could download all the apps i wanted from the app store and also sideload)
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
I reflashed wit the Cog 2.2 with OCLF. Loving it. I activated EXT (was this wrong???).

My quadrant scores are still "only" around 1000.

In any event, everything is snappy. It would be nice to go 24 hrs without flashing again!!! lol
[Captivate Android Development] nickbarbs:
yeah buddy all you have to do is go settings -> plugings -> set to on demand in your browser settings.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Updated from Cog 2.14 to 2.2 beta w/Froyo and my GPS is back to not working at all. No locks on a clear sunny day. Cog 2.14 worked perfect. I swear there are 2 different GPS chips in these phones or something because people that didn't work now say it works in 2.2 and others that had it working before no longer work. Doesn't make sense.

Edit: Turned off WiFi and now getting satellite locks.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
does the sammy keyboard have the mic for talk to text? how can we get the stock android keyboard back?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
If the lagfix is working you should be getting 1700 - 2000 scores. Thats what I'm getting with OCLF version

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
In regards to the lagfix it seems the general consensus is that it isn't needed. I feel it is but then the oclf is in the market. As far as I know voodoo is not supported in froyo for this phone so... nothing to really implement.
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Of course lag fix isn't "needed", but it sure as hell makes the phone operate faster. I've been running without one for a few days and just added the one click lag fix, I notice a definite difference in speed and responsiveness on this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
I did the same thing and my phone is definitely operating faster. Mid day, my phone would usually get really bogged down and would take a bit to switch windows and so on, then I applied the lagfix and bam! problem solved.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
1. unzip the file to get the android.policy.odex file

2. Connect the phone to the pc and copy android.policy.odex to your sd folder, then disconnect

3. Using either root explorer or terminal emulator move it on the phone.

a. Root explorer - use the copy function. Make sure to allow root access when prompted by superuser

b. Terminal emulator (I was using Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich)

i. type su

ii. allow root access when prompted by superuser

iii. type: cp mnt/sdcard/android.policy.odex /system/framework/android.policy.odex

iv. type exit twice

4. restart the phone
[Captivate Android Development] bdoherty:
What about Quadrant scores? I still find that 3rd party apps lag without OCLF and wish it would get put back into Cognition. I mean, why not keep it as an option?

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
It's not that big of a deal to download it from the market. I think DG can put/not put whatever he wants into his works.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Quadrant scores are extremely subjective. I had a faster working phone with a score of about 1500 than when I was scoring 2600+ with a different lagfix.

I'm just hoping someone gets a kernal with OC/UV/Voodoo/HSUPA for FROYO.... :-)

Visual voicemail would be cool too if it can be done.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Yes....

[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
Jesus christ, dude. It's in the freaking market. Download it, or create your own rom that includes it.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Can someone please start a lagfix thread. I'm sick and tired of this thread being bogged down about lagfix. If it makes your device better, then friggin download it from the market. The developer did NOT put it in HIS ROM....WTF...Shut up about lag fix already!!!!!!!!!

Been running beta6 for about 12 hours now and I still can't get At&t address book to sync. Anybody else?

Froyo its awesome though, everything else works great so far
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
I second that ^_^ and... I use google voice for text messaging too ~
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Amen to that brother!

There is a thread which I cannot find now which was going to attempt to come up with a final result on it helps or not btw.
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
Great job on this, donation already posted!:p

Appreciate all your hard work.:D
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Hopefully this thread will be dead soon as the source code for Froyo on the I9000 has been released. I, too, cannot believe the amount of posts related to a lag fix that's available in the market. It seems like these threads are turning in to debate/argument forums.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
I second this.... I actually use the OCLF on Beta 6 and like it, but i don't understand why people are crying because they had to spend the extra 30 seconds downloading it from the market.

Furthermore, next time just back it up with TiBu and restore it after you flash along with everything else.

I just don't understand why it is such a big deal to people that OCLF wasn't part of the rom.

I want to start a new thread of my own:

"I AM ABSOLUTELY PISSED THAT DG DID NOT PUT ANGRY BIRDS IN HIS ROM!!!!!!!! THIS IS INEXCUSABLE!!!!"

/s
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
Really awesome. I'm and running on my first 2.2 (b6) from a 2.1 Voodoo (and only stock before that).

Everything is running really good, seems quick, some nice new features.

I actually bought/updated to TiBu Pro (paid) which made restoring my settings and apps and a piece of cake (the free versions requires a confirmation/done button for each app, which was a killer for ~250 of them).

I love the OTA re-sync too, the phone basically just came right back up to where it was without any need for a PC.

The only _very_minor_ thing I ran into, was my widgets were "unloadable" (with black boxes marking their original position), so I just trashed them and set them back up and they're just fine (this was in LP, so probably just frazzled with the restore). It was just a clock, weather and a flight manager.

Great stuff! Awesome job!

[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Thank you!!!

I've tried several methods to re-install Calendar Clock and the Cognition ones didn't work for me. I think they had to be de-odexed which is what was done here.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
if you read in the Launcher pro back and restore settings, it tells you that widgets cannot be restored. so your restore is acting as it should. adw does the same thing
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Google Voice doesn't work for Google Apps accounts properly. Neither does Chrome to Phone or other various Google features.

Google quite really leaves Google Apps users (the one user base that actually freaking pays (I know there's a free version) for their services) in the dust.
[Captivate Android Development] johnyhoffman:
Yeah the complaints and such are the nature of a custom rom thread. People will always have different opinions and experiences.

The best way I think to put it to people though is if you want a custom rom done your way, do the research to learn how to create your own. If you do not have the time/ knowledge to do so, pay the developer of your favorite rom for their time/knowledge to put in the custom feature you want. If you have no time, knowledge, or money, you can always still request a feature, but do NOT complain if the developer feels a different way about putting in said feature/app.

I know this post will be lost in the masses and not mean much in the end, but it made me feel better.

Thank you DesignGears for your time and effort. Thank you to the other devs credited by DG for their work. We may not agree about lag fixes ;) but I think most agree that the devs here have taken Samsung's awesome stock phone and made it something better.

Dropped w/ my Samsung Captivate using TapaTalk Pro

It was so trivial to remove and set them back up it probably wasn't even worth mentioning, but the fact that it's by design it good to know.

[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
Ok, it's gone back to "Obtaining IP Address..." and nothing.. It seems to randomly work.

Things I have tried:

1. Forget the network, and re-add network. - Works about 5% of the time.

2. turn WiFi off, then back on. 50/50 chance of working. Sometimes It just re-connects, sometimes it just sits there, and i have to go to Wireless settings and tab the network and tab connect.

3. Turn off WiFi, power off phone, turn WiFi back on. Worked the two times I have tried this.

This is on 2 different networks, one is a normal WPA protected network, the other a 802.1X EAP network. Before you say "It's your router", it's not, This is in a hospital I work at, and there are AP nodes every 80 feet or so. This happens on any of them. This ALSO happened (but not nearly as bad) with my simple WPA network at home, on a Linksys Router.

Things to note: Did not have any issues at all with connecting to WiFi networks with Stock 2.1 that came on the Captivate. With Cog 2.2b4 it would not connect to any WiFi network with any type of security. Cog 2.2b6 is definitely better for me now, but I would rather not have to power the phone off and back on to get it to connect to a network.

The only thing I can think of, is that the phone is getting confused somehow, and it sees all the local APs and can't differentiate between them, even though they are all set with the same SSID, settings, etc. to allow WiFi roaming in the halls and across the hospital campus. Different MAC addresses confusing it? I don't know, it didn't get confused with 2.1Stock.

Any thoughts at all on this?

Beta 6 Designer Wallpaper

Hey Design!

The up-close leafy wallpaper that opens up when you boot up. Once you have changed to another stock or aftermarket wallpaper, how do you get "YOURS" back?? I actually liked it and am having the darndest time finding it again...

Sorry if this has been previously posted...

TIA
[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
I don't technically NEED to use it in a work environment. I am mainly stating what I think is a bug that I think someone, namely you, should be aware of. As I said in my post it happened at home as well.

If you don't want people to test your beta software and report possible bugs, then you shouldn't have put it up for people to try.

I appreciate your effort on this ROM and it is a very nice ROM, but I am merely reporting a potential bug in there somewhere. It may be your ROM, it may be 2.2 Beta in general. I don't know.

It would be nice to get serious responses instead of cop out "don't use it if you don't like it/are in a work environment/are a noob/are going to complain/etc."

This whole thread has jumped the shark..
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Pardon my French but what a retarded moronic post!

Is anyone forcing you to use the ROM..no? Dont like it then go and enjoy the ATT stock Rom then and dont come here complaining.

Some people just get on my nerves..Jesus! :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
thank you for posting that, that fixed another issue I had. However the file location is not correct. I updated the FAQ's
[Captivate Android Development] djtama:
So far, I've ran just fine on 2.2b6. Haven't seen too many issues, although I had to reflash after I loaded all my backup data with titanium. I realized I can't just hit "restore all" and not expect it to screw up.
[Captivate Android Development] g0nk:
Wow, did you read my post at all? I am not complaining about the ROM, I know noone is forcing me to use it, etc. As I said, I am merely trying to report a potential bug, in either the ROM or something else. If it's not Cog, then great! It's a bug in the Froyo beta leak.
[Captivate Android Development] Sellitus:
I've had only one minor issue since updating to b6 from b2. Sometimes my phone will start to lag extremely badly, it will stick at certain places and just when I think it's locked up I'll see the notification bar scroll some text. The power button won't work correctly but will eventually shut the screen off/turn it back on but sometimes takes up to 20 seconds for it to respond. It also feels sluggish without a lagfix. I have a feeling all of these have to do with no lagfix being enabled but I wanted to report in case.

Otherwise, LOVE this ROM!

[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
It is kinda funny how post that state a bug get thrown away. Or not even taken in any regard. But yet beta means beta that i need testers right :confused: But no, in here it means flash this if you like it use it...if not change it. So the real issues dont get fixed. Just wallpapers and stuff. Maybe add a new app or take some away. BUT you get to read about lag fixes alot. So its still fun to look at this thread :rolleyes:

And let me explain before all the chatters start to wake up.... Without the proper source not much can be changed to fix the real issues. We all have to wait on the final release. Not a bash at DG. But i think everyone has got into the habit of just disregarding the real issues. And those that know the issues are in the code will just say....well then dont use it. Make your own ROM!!
[Captivate Android Development] sifulee:
Thanks Chief Beefalo I was just about to ask the same question!
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I was having the same bug. I flashed back to stock Froyo, removed the AT&T Bloatware with TiBu, got the stock lock screen, and the Circle battery mod. Everything seems to work just fine now. No issues with my wifi running the stock Froyo.

As for the bug reporting...that's what you do with Beta releases. Your testing the software for bugs. If one is found it should get fixed with the next release.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
This may be a me issue but I figured I would post this in case other people are having this problem.

When I reboot my phone I was having problems with my media scanner. The phone would go black and after a while restart. I have tried a couple of different things. It appears if I reboot my phone with wifi or Bluetooth turned on I run into the problem. If they are off things start up well. If anyone is running into the same issue try making sure your wifi and Bluetooth are off before powering down

Cog 2.2 6
[Captivate Android Development] FutureDev7:
Is anyone else experiencing extremely short battery life? I've had my phone on for about 45 minutes with moderate use and it's at 73% . Im running cog 2.2 beta 6 and I flashed with battery full so that's not the problem. It goes down a percent pet minute and a half with screen on... any suggestions?

Also on an unrelated topic, what happens when you don't disable lag fix before you flash?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] moretech:
I have not noticed very many reports of wifi issues..Nor have I seen many people state that wifi is working just fine. Its my opinion that the phone communicates better with diff routers. I have had ZERO issues with this ROM or any other ROM concerning WIFI....

At what point is somthing considered in need of a fix?

I would say when more then two people are saying this or that appears to be broken.
[Captivate Android Development] SacTilt:
I'm not sure if you are aware, but we (apps users) received an email a few weeks back letting us know that we can "convert" our apps account to work like a normal account. I "converted" mine, and I now have Voice and Reader both under my apps account. Also if you have a Voice account under a standard account, there is a form that you can fill out and they will migrate it to your apps account. Unfortunately, I don't have quick access to the details on how to do all of this, but it is now available.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
No wifi issues. No SMS or MMS issues. No MobileAP issues. No random shut down issues. No wired headset issues. Definitely no battery issues. Can't comment on Exchange server issues as I don't use email on this phone, just Gmail.

Maybe I'm one of the "lucky" ones, but I really think it has to either be an issue when the user flashes, or something more specifically wrong with their phone. Or maybe that's just the way a beta works. :)
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
It was not even about that killer. Just how it gets dusted off so to say. But do you use WIFI in any way that the poster does? I doubt that. Its a issue that he has at work. So he posted it. Im not here to bash. Just wanted to state that he found a bug, No biggie. But yet again here we are with a user that has what 12 post? Joined a few months ago? But its cool. Im sure you know whats going on.

Cog 2.2 6
[Captivate Android Development] topshelf95:
Awesome work as always DG!

I hate even bringing anything up because you've done so much already, but if you're going for performance, is there anything that can be done about the remaining browser lag? Not that its a huge issue, really, browsing is certainly more usable than it was before the first fix, just asking.

I have two friends at work with captivates and I had put the original SRE overclock on one phone and put Cog 2.1.4 on the other and of course 2.2beta 5.5 on mine. I though maybe I was crazy with the browser lag thing but I put all three together and mine was noticibly slower, particularly in regards to scrolling larger pages. Still quite usable, just had a lot of "hitches" in it. Theirs literally just blew right through the pages without so much as a single hiccup.

Otherwise, I have none of the other issues being reported by others, even GPS works really well! Thank you for everything!

P.s. I've tried it both with and without one click lag fix and it has no bearing on this particular issue as far as I can tell. I'm thinking it may still be some of the memory leak left over??
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Perfect. I always forget about Tasker and it's power to make me happy.

[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
I've read quite a few posts and have yet to duplicate any of the errors. DG has yet to duplicate most of the errors.

I can only assume that these errors are more than likely NOT related to the custom ROM. But other issues maybe in play. Sadly, it's the ROM that gets the blame. Which isn't fair to the dev of the ROM.

My Mobile AP has been fine, My Wi-Fi has been fine.

My GPS is WAYYYY better.

I don't have market issues, None of my apps have problems with data connectivity.

As far as the lag issue, again, this is more than likely subjective anyways. One person barely sees a little flick and yells LAGGGGYYYY.... while I think the rom is fine and much better than eclair stock. To all their own but if the ROM is installed correctly, it's working perfectly fine.

If you are experiencing these problems then more than likely it's an external isssue, NOT the ROM. Or ROM wasn't installed correctly.
