[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Nice but...

First, love the rom, it was my first custom rom and has been excellent.

I installed Cognition 2.3b6 and discounting a small issue I have with wired headphones and phone calls, its been coolios.

However, I installed the update, 2.3b7 non OC and to my dismay, the Bluetooth does not work with phone calls.

Now, I realize that you guys do this in your spare time and the fact that you share your work with the rest of us wannabe hackers (who dont really do anything except follow instructions really well) is really awesome... However...

You guys really pulled a Samsung here. You released a product that broke a fundamental feature of the phone and were not clear what specifically was wrong with the blluetooth except that there was static. Perhaps this is partly my mistake, I flashed the updated rom, tried streaming an mp3 audio file via bluetooth and everything worked fine but when I rec'd a phone call earlier today while driving, that is when the static came in. I had to hang up on my boss which isnt a good thing.

So, I have a few suggestions.

1. Clarify any known bugs. 'Static when using bluetooth' is not accurate. The statement should read 'Static when using bluetooth for phone calls (streaming audio, for example mp3's or video is working correctly however).' A bit wordy but it lets people know specifically what the bug is.

2. Provide links for previous versions. Perhaps I missed them but I didnt see any links for previous versions. Luckily I still have 2.3b6 around but there are more and more people coming to get this rom because Samsung and AT&T are just awful when it comes to firmware and there are likely people such as myself who need bluetooth to work correctly.

2.3b6 is as good as it gets as far as I can tell (except one issue with phone calls thru wired headphones), everything seems to work great with it. 2.3b7 takes a step backwards and actually breaks something on the phone, a pretty big function that I use on a day to day basis. Considering I drive 12 hours a day 7 days a week, bluetooth functionality is something I just cannot live without, especially considering it is illegal in most states in the United Socialist States of America to not use a hands free device while driving.

1. Any news on an update to fix the bluetooth? I can wait a few days but if it isnt going to be available by Sunday, Id like to know now so I can flash back to 2.3b6.

2. Are there any plans to fix streaming the audio from phone calls thru wired headphones so that when I am running on the treadmill and I receive a call, I dont have to remove the headphones to answer the call?

3. I have been thinking about purchasing Rom Manager to support the developer, are there any benefits specifically with this rom for doing so? Im not concerned about downloading or checking for updates OTA, Im more comfortable using a PC to transfer the image to my phone which allows me to keep older versions of roms backed up on my PC.

4. I have heard that there are two versions of this rom, Perception and another word I dont recall, are these Android 2.1 and 2.2 builds? If not, what are the differences?

I have many more questions but 4 is enough for now... Those that made it this far, thanks for reading my tome.
