i flashed this rom yesterday and setup my email. the email app kept closing and closing. I had to flash back to 2.2.

Anyone had this issue? Im just getting back into andriod so might have done something wrong. IDK
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I've had this issue on my old blackberry and stock captivate...I don't think it's related to the firmware
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I can't get that out of mine either....but my screen is on half the time... I don't play much music...typically ten to twelve hours is all I can expect

If I just let the phone sit and answer a few calls and texts then I could see getting more than a day but what is the point in that...would have to plug in the middle of the next day and I guess I just like looking at the screen too much to turn it off....i think my laptop is getting jealous and I know the wife is.. :)

Exchange

I think i found something on Beta 6. My exchange account was suddenly deleted from the phone. So i have to add it again. Then force it to start pushing emails, and synch contacts, i rebooted the phone. After that everything started to work as usual. By the way to comment my battery status, i normally have 2 full days without any issue. I do a normal use of my phone: email, games, music, calls...

Launchers

I've noticed on 2.2 Beta 6 that with the new TouchWiz launcher, when I install ADW or Launcher pro and then try to make them my default launcher using Home Switcher, it works until I press the Home key and then it automatically reverts me back to TouchWiz. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Topshelf...according to homeswitcher market page it does not work properly with froyo yet

Ahhhh.... Lol, I've turned into one of the people that doesn't read before asking! :p

Thank you for the heads up!!
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
Mine actually works in reverse. I can set TW for the default home, launch it, but hitting the "hard" home button reloads LP. Which is cool, because i want to run LP as my launcher :D
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
yeah don't set the default with homeswitcher. When you install adw or lp...hit the home button...the window will pop up asking which launcher to launch...tick set as default then hit adw. Wammo!
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I wasn't sure if I should post this but I'm going to anyway. :D

Cognition 2.2b6 works perfectly for me. I read about other peoples problems but I am on able to duplicate them on my phone. The only thing I haven't tried it is tethering. I have also found that the one click lag fix is important. My phone sped up notably after applying it. I don't put to much faith in it, but my Quadrant score more than doubled from the 900s to over 2000. But my real-world, subjective experience was obtained before I ran Quadrant.

Titanium backup worked great at restoring my apps. I was even able to reinstall my launcher pro plus configuration backup. The new browser with flash 10.1 does a great job. I was able to watch any South Park episode at southparkstudios.com! :)

Thanks so much for all your hard work!

EDIT: I have found a few minors things. I can't seem to get voice dial/commands to work. Has it been removed from this rom or disabled or maybe just not included? I can pair my Motorolo HX1 ear piece to the phone, and the sound quality both out going and in coming is great. But the phone button on the ear piece does not wake the phone or make it ready to accept any voice command. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
No problem....i don't use the app anymore but I noticed that a while back when I was trying desperately to fall in live with touchwiz.....could not make it happen

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Quadrant scores are meaningless on our phone. The lag fix on froyo is a placebo, there are multiple REAL benchmarks proving it.

Since JH7 some of the dial commands have been removed. I included an app for launching lbstestmode in cognition eclair edition.

With your headset, the phone button is to answer the phone... Its not an iphone ;)
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
I have applied cog2.2b6 and am very pleased.

Simple to install, works great so far.

Thanks to all the devs and forum posters for all the hard work on making this a no brainer.

cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Hey DG, I'm a Flash addict...... LOL

When will your next ROM be out.

:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Any benchmark is meaningless to real usage experience. Especially, those benchmark are either app load time or cpu computation power. What does that related to I/O? App reload couple time and it is fast cause the app is cached in the memory. It's not even come close to the I/O issue which quite common due to application are blocked by I/O wait. I have no benchmark but I do try to use w/o any lagfix for 1.5 full days and the experience is awful. It lagged a lot. As soon as i applied the lagfix, the experience is much better. I don't change my usage routine. simply lagfix or not.

I believe lots of people probably have the same experiences as I do that lagfix does matter. Unless I see some real benchmark that close to real daily usage experience or use case, I don't trust any claim of froyo DO NOT NEED lagfix. Or at least, not applicable to this leaked froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
First off, you will need to install the updated Google Search. I don't think the one with Voice Actions is included. I just installed it.

I find, like you, that it does not launch the voice search when pressing the BT button. I haven't seen anyone who says it does, although I could have skipped some messages in this busy thread. That is the ONE thing I look forward to in Froyo.

My Brief Update...albeit only a few hours use so far

Performance

Like many others, I ended up installing LAG Fix. It seems very fast in many areas, and from slight lag to horrible lag, depending on what app. Even with the lag fix, I'm not sure it is any faster than 2.16. In fact, it sure seems slower to me.

WIFI

One time I had my WIFI not wanting to connect. I turned off WIFI, and back on, and it seemed to fix it. Other than that, so far so good.

Haven't tested tether yet.

FCs

I have had Beautiful Widgets FC a couple times. But I have to say I've had that happen on 2.1 version as well.

Battery

Early to say, and I've been using it a lot, so hard to say. Doesn't seem any better to me at this point. But again, given the constant use, the jury is still out.

GPS

When I first installed, it was absolutely horrible. May have just needed to settle in. I've seen several folks say after a bit it got better...before getting bad again (based on 2.1).

I applied the Jupiter6 files from the GPS topics on the forum, and either that helped, or the settle in thing worked. It is much better.

But like on 2.16, if I don't keep the phone under the windshield, as opposed to uner the roof of the car, it gets teh blue rings, puts me off road, etc. (I have about lost hope of the GPS on this phone being anywhere near as good as my 3 year old Tilt).

I"m doing a 4 hour drive 1 way tomorrow, and back later in the weekend. I'll post back how it went over that trip.

2.2 Interface

Nicer but nothing so outstanding to list, or to cause need to change to 2.2 from 2.1.

Blue Tooth

Tested three of my BT devices, and they seem to work OK, except for being unable to launch voice search as noted above.

USB to Computer

Works fine and can browse folders

Google Voice

Appears to be working fine, including texting.

SMS

I do not subscribe, so can't test messaging.

Thats about all I can offer now. No problems of significance in this short time.
[Captivate Android Development] topshelf95:
Yeah, that was my case also. Loved the tweaks to TW, and tried using it for a few days, but just couldn't fall in love with it either.

Thanks for the heads up! Got it all set!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Sorry mate but all measurable tests prove it does NOTHING..all the people pro lagfix are just offering "impressions" , it feels faster, looks 10 times as fast etc...so you tell me what is more believable.

Feel free to read many of the Pro Lag fix people and notice how many comments are like this loads really quick now, etc....which you claim is not related but they are using that as an example of how much better the Lag fix is then tell me if perception is not the one playing a trick on you guys ;)

cant get OCLF to install on beta 6 i get this message

"OCLF failed with error: could not mount loop back device/dev/loop0!: Device or resource busy"
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Go to settings->applications->manage applications-> "on sd card" - move or uninstall what is on the SD card -Then run LF again
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
I haven't installed anything to SD and I kept getting that error.

What worked for me was clearing defaults on my default launcher in settings>applications>launcher pro>clear defaults, hitting home, choosing "use as default" and choosing Touchwiz. Then I rebooted the phone and ran it and it worked fine. Then I just cleared Touchwiz defaults to get back to launcher pro.
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Please tell me which mesurables or benchmark does the test of multiple concurrent I/O reading/writing? Which is translated to multiple processes in the background and block by I/O wait? Yes, it's kind of perception. However, if my routine usage pattern translate to like keep waiting for black screen for like 10+ seconds to under 5 seconds or none after lagfix. Then, I think either I have really bad perception on time or something is really wrong. I'm not talking about load time. I'm talking about no response or black screen for a long duration.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
ok - just thought I'd put my input for what worked for me when I had the issue - LF won't run if anything is on the SD card
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
thanks for the quick response, how would i get the browser to show the full website when i got to southparkstudios i get the mobile version and the same with abc.com is there a way under settings to enable this?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Not sure why we must have this argument about lagfix all the time...i well attest to the fact that it does help in some cases and I was running one until recently but that was my choice...not going into all the reasons, suffice it to say that swype lagging and music skipping were enough to drive me nuts, though I have made some changes and no longer feel I need it.

To each his own...it is like arguing between touchwiz adw or lp.....my plasma versus my brothers lcd....it is all in how you use it and what suits you...when someone says the lagfux helps can't we just let it go and not feel the need to insist that they are wrong?

So I tried the i9000xwjp6 modem.bin and the reoriented kernel and tada...........i have no service!

how do I get the Cog 2.2 beta 6 kernel and modem.bin..just extract the install?

I am guessing I can just select the zimage and the modem bin right?

I am back after using the zimage and modem.bin from beta 6...I wonder what went wrong..
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Guys.. I dont know about you but this ROM is damn fast. The problem is the GPS is simply useless. I was driving around with max 50km/h and in 3 seconds I was on 4 different streets and I was not in a intersection...

Tried a i9000 rom (sheep's rom) and is like the GPS was made only for that one. I have lock on the spot and it doesn't lose position. Sometimes is so accurate that it tells me on which side on the road I'm positioned. I am really happy with it.

What I dont like is that at the moment there is a bug with the camera, not working as it engages the non existing front facing camera, or something like that. Hopefully will be fixed soon.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
heh, that's what happened to my phone when I forgot to disable it :D

Currently not running any type of lagfix for DG's latest and greatest and the phone appears to be pretty snappy still. Meh - to each their own. After my last fiasco I'm hesitant on installing a lagfix.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
General use has been good with this rom. Couple odd bugs that I can not figure our the cause of. I did a batch reinstall of my apps with no problem with titanium. Made sure I did not restore any systems info. Now if I try to do a new backup batch I foreclose and go into a bit of a boot loop.

Also sometimes on a reboot or if my phone is powering on while the device is checking internal and external SD or starts a media scan my phone will randomly vibrate then go black. After a while it starts over. Sometimes this repeats a couple of times before the phone actually boots.

Any suggestions?

[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Same here. Froyo found 5 apps it thought were installed to the ex_sd. I don't know where they came from, but once I moved them back OCLF worked great.

As far as lag fix, I don't know what to tell you. My phone is loaded with more than 140 apps. Ti Backup lists the total of system and user apps as 250+. I have lots of widgets on Launcher Pro Plus. Before I installed the lag fix, the phone was noticeably slower than the 2.1 I9000 with Cap kernel. Click, wait wait wait, click, wait wait wait. After installing the lag fix, that lag disappeared and performance was on par (perhaps a little better than) the 2.1 I9000 Voodoo setup I had before.

Perhaps the benefits of the lagfix increase proportional to the amount of "Stuff" installed. :confused:

Id say light to moderate. mostly listening to tunewiki, some texting, some market browsing and downloading, and some phone calls. Its funny but i think it dropped the most during the phone calls lol
[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
For those having the text roulette issues.... if you don't use the pull down notification bar to go to the incoming text it won't do it. If you have one contact up in sms and use the notification bar to switch contacts, it sends it to the one you had up, not the one you just pulled up. If you do your switching from within the sms text app it won't do that.

Google found numerous hits describing using the "phone" button on the ear-piece to activate Voice Dial... several on Androidforums.com . But they have all been on different devices such as Eris and Droid.

I know the ear-piece itself has the capability. It worked perfectly with WinMo 6.5 and Voice Command (which displeases me greatly that Android won't do it! :mad:). How do I update Google Search? Is it in the Market or is an .apk file floating around somewhere?

I've tried using Vlingo, and it works fairly well espeically for dictacting long sms or emails. But it does not take input from the ear-piece... only from the mic.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Except keeping 2 launchers loaded simultaneously occupies 50Mb extra of RAM.

I use LP too, and after uninstalling TWLauncher, it's even snappier.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am confused. I thought uninstalling TWLauncher is something that creates a mess for the program...is it working fine for you?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Yes, it's working just fine. I set LP as the default launcher, then used TiBackup to remove TW Launcher. No issues in the last 2 days.

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Final Beta6 input for now...

Ok. I just did a side by side comparison of two things: GPS, and Performance. My wife's phone has 2.17, I have Beta6

I even applied the Lag Fix, and while it 'seemed' to improve it, the fact is I have all kinds of lags, and long pauses, at various times. If not pause/lag happening, it seems just as fast ast 2.17. So it seems to me that whatever the problem is, maybe it isn't related completely to whatever the lag fix does.

The 2.17 phone has no pauses or lags.

And the GPS sucks. While it seemed to improve after putting the Jupiter6 on, the drive I just took around town, in a convertible with no top obstruction, I had blue circle numerous times, and off the road a couple times.

Taking the same drive with 2.17, it worked almost flawlessly: one time it acted like it had a problem...the arrow stopped for a couple seconds.

My phone was previously 2.16, and I have a Rom Manaager BU of that. So I'm moving back for now.

If the production version that ultimately comes out continues to not work with the BT Button I don't see any compelling reasons to move to it.

I appreciate the opportunity to do a test drive of it, and thanks to DG for all his efforts. I will be donating soon. as I expect to stay on his ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
Very possible (I have 250+). I can tell you the latency from the operation to the expected results is incredibly apparent. I've been in the tech sector for ~20 years: development, architecture, published a few times, PI for several clinical analytic projects, so I'm not approaching this without some idea about testing methodology, repeatability, performance metrics, etc.

Open [native] email client: without = ~4 seconds delay, with= < 1 sec

Drag icon/folder to the delete/trashcan: without ~3-4 sec day (phone sitting with icon over trash, highlighted red), with = instant delete, no delay

Open a list from home (either LP, ADW or TW): without ~4 second delay for shortcuts, with <1 sec

I don't know if all those operations are DB intensive, file based IO, a combination, etc. The phone doesn't run _faster_, it simply doesn't have measurable delays during specific operations.

I also tune cars for fun, including dialing in suspensions, so I totally understand the placebo affect, short term gains, etc., and this isn't one of those situations in MY specific case.

Right, I was talking about TW.

Right :)

That is amazingly awesome. I'll remove it ASAP. I always wondered about having the stock TW still installed (especially when I never plan to use it).

Do you think it's worth even fooling around with the vanilla launcher? I've never personally used it, but given how outstanding LP is, I can't imagine it being better (only maybe more minimal if you're into that). I ask because I've noticed most of you folks doing custom ROM work don't package it up (or maybe there's a technical concern[?]).
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Launcher Pro screwed up on me yesterday, I couldn't open my app drawer at all, half the screen was black, and restarting didn't help. The only solution was to open the app market which was luckily on the half of the screen that worked, open home switcher from the market, switch to TouchWiz, uninstall Launcher Pro, and then install it again.

If there had been no TouchWiz on the phone I would have had a lot more problems.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
I tried Shep211's rom last night and went running right back to Cognition. ADW looked good in the picture but I couldn't hang with it. Maybe I'm just to used to TW but AWD9 and maybe even the i9000 just didn't do it for me. Although, I do have to say, I miss the stock (JF6) Galaxy S boot screen that came with Shep's rom. I just find it nicer than the flashing one.
