This ROM is Great!! Snappy, responsive. I guess I got lucky and haven't come across a lot of the issues others are having.

Hopefully we will have a fix for ROM Manager soon, I dont want to have to reflash to stock to update to beta2!

Great work!!
[Captivate Android Development] topshelf95:


Thanks for the reply. This would make sense as I installed autokiller and chose the most aggressive setting to keep as much memory free as possible and the browser lag has beeb significantly reduced. This looks like a good band aid until the real issue is addressed. Thanks again for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
THANKS DG!!!......

I think I'm using my phone more to flash, than I am actually using it as a phone!!
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Have you changed the server to supl.google.com, server port to 7276, SUPL secure socket to "off", and the operation mode to "MS Based" once again since upgrading to 2.2?

I completely forgot to do so right after I installed 2.2 and couldnt get a lock at all on a 30+ minute drive. Changed the settings once I realized and felt stupid and I now get a lock in about 20 seconds or less.
[Captivate Android Development] nickbarbs:
I have a prevalant bug where USB Development if its checked, loses its check after a reboot.

Additionally, whatever time zone i've set in Date and Time also gets reset to EST (NY Time) after a reboot.

I'm going to try reflashing tonight to beta 2 and see if this issue dissapears.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
it could be that whatever SUPL att is using is not getting data back to the phone, so the list of satellites just takes forever, which I would think is a pretty big issue, but it seems to work for me, but I usually switch to the google one because hey, its google, they never go down :P

You can just do the kernel swap method, its in the wiki

Hey DG is the MTU Fix in your new Roms or must we do it manually?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
manually, I am looking into setting it up to xbl minimum permanently
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Dont want, to get flamed but what changed in beta 2. I loomed on the site but doesnt really say much in the changelog
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Reading it while you are looming usually helps ;)
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
I second that!
[Captivate Android Development] yhbrandon:
Well jeez, you just want me to not be lazy then huh?
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Well i def do alot of looming on here.... what evere that means... lol.... but i definitely did some looking and no changelog for 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] rassler:
So the kernel swap method coming from 2.2beta-1 will keep any and all data, apps, settings, ect? No need for Titanium BackUp in this case?

Great, thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Lee1733:
Not sure if this is a bug with Cognition or Android in general, but when I receive a picture via MMS and then try to share it via email, I get a force close error with both the default mail program and gmail. This is with Cognition 2.2b7. It's not a huge problem as that is probably the 2nd time in the whole time I've had cell phones that I've tried to do that, but I thought it should be mentioned. (For a workaround, just save the picture to your phone first and email it as an attachment.)
[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
How can you replace the stock flash for a modified one? I removed the Flash app with Titanium Backup and re installed it but now it does not work. I even tried to reinstall it from the market and no dice. Is there a fix for this or a workaround? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay, so right now I am sitting at 67% battery.

20h 47m 58s since unplugged

Voice calls: 31m

Display: 22m

Emails: 47 (Exchange) + 15 (Gmail)

Titanium backup ran once

I have downloaded updates to 6 apps (about 15 MB)

So, pretty moderate usage, considering all the email I have received today, but very light on display time and talk time. But still this is much better battery life than I had on 8.0.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Read and read and read... -:-)

It happens, especially in a fast moving thread like this.

The boat I'm in, is I think I've read the whole thread as it grows...but it just can't all stick.

Regarding restoring apps, I'm interesed in hearing from someone what is the latest concensus. I've read these options being used, all based on using Titanium Backup (TIBU):

Retore from TIBU, but do NOT restore system files

Restore Missing Apps w/Data

Restore all apps with Data

Do not restore any apps that reference 2.1

Which option is recommended?

On that last one, I'm not sure how I would checdk for 2.1 reference. I've looked around and don't see anything obvious.

If I select Restore Missing Apps w/Data, I'm not sure how I would get my data for any existing apps.

So, I'm leaning toward restore all apps with data, but I am presuming there is possibility of putting incompatible apps on, causing issues, like many experirence.

[EDIT]

Well, I went ahead and installed all apps. I did not select system data. But of course, I did get the recursive FCs relating to android.com.phone. I've put it in airplane mode, and am doing a factory reset now.

I have a lot of apps. So, I guess I'll try once more and spend the evening browsing through the various ones and see if it references 2.1, but i still am not sure where I'll see that referenced. I'm going to select each app and open the detail window that lists all the backups, and see if I find any.

[EDIT2]

Well, I've selected Factory Rest, and have confirmed the password I enter to do the reset, and nothing happens. It acts quite different form 2.1. In that I had to enter a password, and come to the next screen and enter it again. That isn't happening here.

May have to reload.

[EDIT3]

Entertaining. I had done a Rommanager BU before doing the TIBU restore. Trying to restore that, and it doesn't see the files, even though they are there.

I must be wrong on that. I had thought there was a kernal on this that supported Rommanager.
[Captivate Android Development] jojomoulder:
I just got 8.1. So far so good. I'll report anything I come across. Keep up all your hard work dg.
[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
In the past few days had some issues with random shutting of when battery was below 50%. I was on Cog2.2B7 and first I attributed it to that borked LauncehrPro update (I did use an alternate laucnher, make it default, remove LP and then reinstalled LP with new version). Well, Went back and re-flashed Cog2.2B6, applied b7 and did leave LP untouched this time. Still was happening. So today I did the OCOD back to the Stock 2.2, applied b6 and then b8.1. Lets see if this solves the issue, unless someone has an idea what else might be going on?
[Captivate Android Development] l1m4:
First.. sorry for my english..

I have cog 2.2 b6.. can I update directly to b8.1?

or I have to go back to 2.1 and then flash to 2.2 b8.1?

I don't use odin.. only Rom Manager.

Thxs.

How much if that time has display been on....this helps others understand what you consider moderate use.. :)

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
If you use Launcher Pro, you can make a shortcut to the 'activity' Mobile AP is related to. I don't remember exactly what it's called, but somewhere within Wireless settings. It's under Settings, then scroll down to the last Settings one before APNs. Should be "com.android.settings.wifi.WifiApSettings"

If you don't use Launcher Pro, you can download Quick settings, and access it pretty easy from there. I have Quick Settings set as my search button long press action, and then I just select WiFi Hotspot (which is what Mobile AP is).

Every boot I get 2 force closes from the email app before it stops. I have no accounts in the stock email app. not sure why its doing this. I'm on BETA 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Thanks...you can tell actual display time under what has been using your battery by clicking on display...i find that moderate is a term people often use but has no real meaning. I think we should create a naming convention based on parameters...lol. Really though it seems that screen use time is a fairly good indicator of use as it is the largest consumer of power by far. Unless of course we were just measuring standby time!

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My numbers will be off because I did a reboot 2 hours ago but my display since then was 36 minutes. I hear you "moderate" is a relative term but I usually have to charge during the course of the day

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Battery life is tolerable. I've had my phone on 22 hrs off the charger. 3 hr in display and I have 39% battery left.

Moderate use doing the usual bs, txting, xda, calls, and reading.

With my phone using Cognition, because it just runs better.

If that is tolerable sign me up

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
I'm probably not the right person to try to help here, but since you asked twice...

I'm not sure what the "stock flash" is. Are you talking about a flashing app such as CWM or the actual ROM, such as 2.2 beta8.1? And what ROM are you currently on?
[Captivate Android Development] dspielman:
I'm really happy with the latest beta. This was the first rom I tried for my captivate and I've tried some others but always seem to come back to Cognition. Latest beta seems clean.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Sorry... meant 11hrs and 45 min since off the charger. Was looking at uptime since my last reboot.

And sure tolerable... my old iPhone (hark! I dare mention this device here!!) would get 4-6hrs of display time (I read a lot of ebooks) - and I'd have more juice.

But again.. as my signature states when I post with my phone.. w/o Cognition this phone would suck giant man marbles.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Im on batch 1008 and I've had no issues with getting into download mode

Edit: Just went back to JF6 (Eclair) to see if I can pull my android ID, and subsequently lost download mode via clicking the buttons. I'm sure I have it in Cog's froyo though.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I quoted just to keep this all together.

Thought some might interest in knowing, the Apps that have 2.1-Update1 that you should not restore are :

Quick Search Box 2.1-update1

Google Search Box 2.1-update1

DRM Protected Content Storage 2.1-update1

Security Storage 2.1-update1

RilFactoryApp 2.1-update1

Google Search (Enhanced) 2.1-update1

Google Settings Provider 2.1-update1

Checkin Service 2.1-update1

Samsung Keypad 2.1-update1

Of course your list may be different, but this is a start. And you do find it in the description right on the initial app listing. You don't need to go into the details where you select a specific backup to restore from.

I also did not restore any of the red colored appl listed in the restore. They appear to be System Services. I'm not sure why those are listed when I select the batch file Restore all Apps and Data. I don't consider a System Serice an app.

So, it is going so far so good, although my Titanium restore appears to be stopped at 84%, on Dolphin Browswer HD restore. Been there for 45 min now.

PNG Optimization messes up some live wallpapers

The PNG optimization in 2.2 beta causes the Aurora, Blue sea, and Dandelion live wallpapers to have graphical issues. In particular, it looks like it's the PNGs that were converted from 8-bit/color RGBA to 8-bit colormap that are the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Very Brief Initial finding...

After doing my installs as outlined a few posts ago, and only 30 minutes on it so far:

Market working fine

Performance seems good at this point.

Blue Tooth - Using Vlingo In-Car, it does launch with the BT key. But unfortunately, it seems it does not hear me over BT. :(

I need to do a call and see if folks can hear me. If not, I'll have to stop testing with this, as I must have BT working.

I recollect seeing some folks having trouble with BT, but I was thinking that was 8.0. I have searched back a bit and fine it working for one person.

@tazman171 (because it apparently wont' let me quote your link about HSUPA

So how much of a speed difference does HSUPA provide?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Agreed. + 1

If you can get into download mode using either Methods (except for ADB/ Method 1), then you're ok.

Method 1:(ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)

1. Open a cmd prompt/console/shell

2. adb shell

3. adb reboot download

Method 2:(KEY COMBO)

1. Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

2. Insert the battery

3. Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power

Method 3:(KEY COMBO)

1. Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

2. Insert the battery

3. Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

4. Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

If not, then you can try DGs Patch here (this will allow 3Button function regardless of Batch #):

[Captivate Android Development] Kiserai:
Just a quick question. Haven't flashed a ROM on my wife's Captivate for a while because she hates having to restore her settings and stuff, but I finally convinced her to let me try and install a Froyo leak.

My question is: Does this have the problem connecting to secure wifi? I heard a while back that some versions of the Froyo leak only let you connect to open wifi, but I don't see anything in this forum referencing it, and nothing in the known issues or the changelogs. I did search and didn't see anything which gives me hope, but I just want to make sure before I wipe her phone and install the 8.1 beta.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I have had no issues connecting to both unsecure and secured wireless with Cog 2.2beta8.1. The non-secure is a bar near where I work, and the secure is my own home network running WPA2 PSK.
[Captivate Android Development] Kiserai:
Perfect, exactly what I needed to know.

One last question before I flash this (nandroiding right now)...

Will having the same device ID as everybody else really cause that many problems? Again, I did search but didn't come up with many results. I saw the part of the FAQ about seeing what your device ID is so you can change it back later, but is it really necessary?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
As far as I know, the same device ID issue mainly messes with Storm8 games and some other apps I'm not to familiar with. It's fairly easy to change your ID to the correct one, and you're in a good spot to do so.

Before you do your wife's phone, download Android Device ID from the market. Run it, and make note of what you ID is. Once you have put Cog 2.2b8.1 on the phone, there is also an app on the market to change your ID back, though I haven't used it. I used the Terminal Emulator method, which can also be done via ADB, if you're familiar with that.

ADB:

Terminal Emulator:

Just replace YOUR REAL ID with your actual ID that you noted before flashing.

Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] Kiserai:
Helps a lot. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
I'm curious. Why would one want to change their id after flashing?

Oh. And I've noticed a few kernal mod threads here. I'm running 2.2b8. Would I have a need to change to a different kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
If you are using the leaked Froyo 2.2, or a ROM built on it, you have the same ID as everyone else that uses it. Storm8 games and some other apps won't install correctly or at all due to this. Hence the reason to put it right.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Demented, can we get our real android ID by using odin and flashing back to "stock" Eclair?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yes. I have also been told that if you have an older nandroid backup of a 2.1 installation, you can use Notepad++ to search in the datadata.img file.

The good thing that I have found, is as soon as you have a Titanium Backup AFTER fixing your ID, when you "Restore all apps with Data" it restores the correct ID, so basically, do it the one time, and your future TiBu's should restore it.

Choking on humble pie

Okay, so I flashed the new 2.2 b8.1 rom in my insanely manic quest for the ultimate in new shiny goodness. Of course, I was very satisfied with my polished 2.2 b7 rom, but that bold 8.1 seduced me with her big bumps! Worst case, I knew I could just cwm back and my old beloved 2.2 b7, who would have me back with no love lost. Imagine my chagrin, realizing that the new relationship with 2.2 b8.1 wasn't working out, when I couldn't find rom manager in the apps section. Even worse, when I went back to Cogs FAQ i found the reference to its removal hiding in plane sight, like a snake in the grass! Now, I've lost my love and have only myself to blame! Low is me! Choking on humble pie......is there anyone who can suggest a....hope?
