Is there something other than PIN entry that you require from the mail app's security features? If it's only PIN unlock you should be able to manually add a PIN to your device if you want that security. Its under Settings->Location And Security->Set Screen Lock. You can set a pattern, PIN, or password. As far as I know there is no difference in setting the PIN here versus the mail app requiring it, since with 2.2 there are no timeout settings for screen lock.

The only thing I could see you losing would be remote wipe capability, which personally I don't want my company trying to wipe my device if I left. Of course if you asked your company IT guy to set your account up on your phone then I could see it being an issue when they aren't prompted for password creation.

Boot Into Recovery Problem

I have installed Cognition 2.2 5.5 beta, DG Rocks!

Small problem. I am trying to boot into recovery and I get the following:

-- Movi_check already executed!!...

-- movi_checking done!...

update media, please wait

update media, finished

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

-- Applying Multi-CSC

Installing Multi-CSC

Installation Aborted.

It then shows the "Android system recovery <3e>" with menu at the top of the screen.

I have used ROM Manager int he past without issue. Since upgrading to 5.5, as far as I can tell, I am getting this error. I have tried uninstalling ROM Manager and ClockworkMod with no luck.

The phone itself works without issue. I only tried it so I could do a ROM Backup with nandroid before making some additional changes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have posted this on the ROM Manager thread I found but no response. If anyone here can assist it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to get this usb tethering to work with this rom.. Everytime I plug it in it tries to install a specific driver, but it always seems to fail. Is there a driver that I can download somewhere or something? Running Win 7 Ultimate x64. I appreciate anybody's help. Thanks

It is pretty common knowledge that clockwork is not currently working with our "stock" FroYo kernal. I am using the modded one from this forum, and its working well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] stevenperry:
I have searched this forum and can not locate an updated ClockworkMod for the FROYO kernal. If someone could be so kind to give me a hint as to exactly where I can find it I would that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I am on JJ4 with no issues. Since the kernel is JJ4 patched, I figured, that this was the best bet.
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
Thank you for the reply. I guess I will do a master clean this time with Odin and then Flash this rom.

Till date I have been always flashing without cleaning it / from stock ROM. Not sure if that makes a difference. Does it?
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
They are decent scores-No major change from b6 to b8.

Actually, I feel I should just wait for DG to release the GingerBread- heard good stuff about it. Test Drove the Nexus S yesterday and felt pretty good about it. It is very slick.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
That's where I am at, just wondered if someone found a really compelling reason to go ji6.
[Captivate Android Development] thecontractor:
Ditto. Everything flashes fine, calls work again (both speaker and mic).

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
My thoughts, as well. For now, I'm sticking with my custom v2.3b7 w/ voodoo5 and jj4 modem just because it's basically v2.3b8 (but with JJ4 modem instead of JI6). The only other difference is that it doesn't show Cognition v2.3b8 in the about section of settings. ;) If someone were to give a compelling reason (better call quality, battery life, etc) to flash the JI6 versus JJ4 modem, I'd do so for sure. For now, though, I'm very happy with my current setup.
[Captivate Android Development] guthriemd:
Guess I need to check here whenever I have issues. Kept trying and trying to get install to work with download from this morning. :o

Thanks for the quick fixes, DG. Your work is much appreciated.

efs folder and nv_data file(s)

My split personality tells me I gotta give b8 a whirl.

If I'm coming back from an i9000 flash can I simply back up my efs folder, stick it in a safe place and then go through the normal flashing process for b8?

Will this efs folder back up work if something goes wrong with flashing b8, or do I need to run it through the whole process to restore a full captivate product code should something go wrong related to my IMEI data?

Did I even ask this question the right way?

Should 3G work by default?

Glad I had a ji6 modem saved on my SD card...easy to fix the little modem error in b8!

One question...should 3g work by default? Reason I ask is where I live we have been on Edge (2g) forever and are scheduled to have 3g before the end of the year... a buddy of mine texted me earlier saying 3g was working now but on my Cappy running b8 (and ji6 modem) I don't have it. I still show Edge. He swears his iPhone4 has 3g. Would there be a difference? [I realize it could be that they are turning it on tower by tower and he is by one of the first ones to get activated.]

Thanks in advance!

Flashing ROM

I decided to flash b8 today- and I finished flashing to stock ROM, Master clearing using ODIN, Rooting back the phone .

NExt step is where I am stuck as ROM Manager 2.5.1.4 does not flash currently- it does not even give the pop up to select the phone- Some people have reported same issue on xda.

Is there any other way that I can install b8 and not use ROM Manager

Its a samsung captivate-current state is stock + rooted.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
im beginning to sound like a broken record around here so let me enlarge the font and add some pizazz to make sure somebody sees it:

when you flash clockwork recovery from rom manager, all it does is add an update.zip file on your sdcard for the stock recovery to read and boot into....there is no magic happening. there is ZERO reason to have to use ROM MANAGER if it is broken for you...there is ZERO reason to root/install anything... you dont even have to reboot into the OS after flashing stock:

put this update.zip on your sdcard

reboot to recovery

reinstall packages, it will reboot and then reinstall packages again

BAM! you are now in clockworkmod and can pick your rom by selecting install zip from sd

class is over
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
You are awesome...Sorry for you having to re-post it.

Thinks are looking good now- I hear voices- after installing and rebooting-Partition ...2min ...lag fix... now delayed etc..

Hopefully it should be good after it finishes.

Will keep you posted
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
@Pirateghost

It looks good now..I am so glad for your post. Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] wmaung20:
A problem

Thanks OP for updated 2.3b8.

After downloaded, flashed and installed, It looks really nice. However, I didn't get any phone call or received. I went back to 2.3b6 and it's same. Someone know how to... Thanks....
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Cool. I just flashed my first modem.

It was really easy... all I did was go to the Modem thread, find and download the update.ucji6.modem.zip file to my phone, reboot into CWM recovery, and choose to install that update.ucji6.modem.zip file, and BAM! Now the sound works properly on the phone (people hear me and vice versa).

It's kinda like getting to 2nd base, but with a phone.

*reflects on that*

OK, not even close. But at least the phone didn't end up having kleenex in it's bra.

DG, thanks again. Hope your replacement phone arrives soon... you gotta be in withdrawl by now.

Can I flash b8 over my b6 without losing any apps/data and not have any issues?
[Captivate Android Development] Shelbster:
I've read the change log, and a number of pages back on the thread, and I am still unsure of what apps are supposed to be on my phone after flashing b8. Don't flame me too hard but...

Am I supposed to have voltage control and bln after flashing b8? I don't have them, but I don't know if I should reflash or not.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
Does this have the bluetooth static issue that 2.3b7 had??

Charlie
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No this is not an OC/UV kernel so you should not have those apps..

Bluetooth works good...:)

[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
You need to flash back to 2.1 first.

v2.3b6 bricked?

hi, i wanted to update to v2.3b8 from b6, so i deleted my last titanium back up and made a new one, i then disabled the voodoo lagfix(disable lagfix)(rebooted) then put my phone in download mode using the built in option from the power menu in cognition and connected my phone to my pc with odin one click.... after about an hour(i thought odin hadn't done anything) i disconnected my phone and reconnected to try again... nothing, so i powered my phone off(still in download mode), now when i power it on all i get is picture(phone) ! picture(pc). I can't seem to get back to download mode. Do i have a hard brick? I can usually figure these things out, but i'm not liking what i've found so far trying to search the net in regards to this. Oh, i've tried doing a battery pull and holding volume down/home/power before and after reinserting the battery.

Thanks in advance guys!!!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Back up apps with Titanium backup and flash to stock the upgrade to B8...:)

Try this..Open Odin one click JF6

Pull battery and put it back in

hold both volume keys down and then plug your phone in..make sure you are using a usb on the back of your PC
[Captivate Android Development] td4689:
thank you, i don't know how i missed that
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
This information is all in the one click thread, but repeated below for your benefit. If stuck at Phone + ! + Computer screen, there are a couple of ways to get to download mode again:

Method 1:

a. Remove battery, sd card, and sim, and then put just the battery back in

b. Plug in USB Cable into the computer only

c. Fire up Odin One Click to get to JF6 stock

d. On the phone press both vol up and vol down, do not press power button

e. While the volume rocker is pressed down, put USB cable into the phone and do not touch power button

f. You should boot directly into download mode, and a moment later Odin should recognize your phone, let go of the volume buttons, and then press start

Method 2.

a. Remove battery, sd card, and sim, and then put just the battery back in

b. Plug in USB Cable into both computer and phone

c. Fire up Odin One Click to get to JF6 stock

d. On the phone press vol up and vol down, and power button

e. The phone will display AT&T Logo, keep all three buttons pressed

f. The phone will display a black screen and then display the AT&T logo again, at this point release just the power button, and keep the volume rocker held down

g. You should now boot into download mode, and a moment later Odin should recognize your phone, let go of the volume buttons, and then press start

I've always like method 1, as it can work without worrying about timing of pressing buttons.

Cog & HSUPA

Howdy,

Love the Cog ROMS, thanks for building them.

For those of us attached to Cog b6 or b8, do we have any options when it comes to enabling HSUPA? Will all the i9000 modems cause bugs in one way or another when mixed with Cog?
[Captivate Android Development] MisterAnthonyxD:
Um, is it just me or does b7 cause sleep death? Never happened until I went from b6 to b7.
[Captivate Android Development] vdecas:
I updated my Captivate to Cognition 2.3b8 last night, but after that my connection 3G was really slow, I thought that the service provider had some problem but tested 3G connection in a blackberry torch and the speed was fast as always, then I went back to Cognition 2.3b6 and all perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Don't want to get all GPS discussions started - so this is strictly one post.

For me GPS does not work with this ROM. 10 minutes to lock and no tracking. It appears to me that Vibrant ROMS cause GPS issues for my Captivate. I have no idea why but I had the same issue with Cog 2.4.X. With i9K and Captivate ROMS no issues. Even with Stock my GPS is very good.

So I am back to Cog 2.8 for now and will try that.

Speaking of 3G speeds, I agree that the speeds are much slower than the earlier ROMS I have tried.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Could it have been caused by the incorrect modem being in the ROM at first release or did you download it after it was fixed and re-uploaded by DG? Just a thought...I'm assuming you saw the discussions that text/data seemed to be working properly but voice was not on the first release of b8.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
If you are not happy with the speeds on 2.3b8, it is worth a try to just switch the modem to the JJ4 version. CWM flashable version in the Modem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
Is anyone experiencing general lag with Cog b8 (and yes, I did go to restore and verified that the lagfix was enabled)?

In all cases, I started with the Odin reset, master clear, and root before installing any ROM. First was Perc 9, then repeated when Cog b8 became available.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
No lag here; came from Perception 9 as well. Seems to be running just as smoothly, if not moreso, than P9.

I did quit using AudioBoost right before I made the ROM change though, and I know there were reports that it caused EXTREME lag (which I was experiencing). So it might be more of a placebo from that. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] intellium:
i agree, i feel the b8 is just a tad bit slower than b7. However the quadrant scores are higher in b8. 1.5gb movies still play on b8 seamlessly though..
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
That is not bricked. If it can get to the ATT logo, it can get to either recovery or download mode.

Go back to download mode and flash stock- start over.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Since for some reason I can't seem to run a i9000 rom without the network connection eventually dying and requiring a reboot, I flashed CogKernel4 over Cognition 2.3b7 and then flashed the JK4 modem. Has been very stable and fast for a day now with no network drops.

Cog 2.3b7 was the version where DG accidentally included his i9000 CogKernel2 and the JK3 modem. He has since moved back to pure Captivate for Cognition, but I've found that my hybridized version works best for me.

If I get bored, I may flash Perception 9 again and then flash the JK4 modem. Come to think of it, I haven't had any trouble when using the JK4 modem. All of my issues have been while running the JK3 and JL3 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Kionic:
I installed this rom and my benchmark score to huge dip .

I'm not sure if this is a Froyo Problem or something that Samsung has done.

But the "call log" is possible the worst I have seen in ANY PHONE. I don't need all my text logs mixed in with my call logs and there is absolutely no option to see "all calls".

Guys at google or samsung must have been smoking some hard crack when writing the "call log" function.

Cognition v2.3b8

Flashed the ROM and it is slower than b7. I've seen several posts about flashing a different modem to fix issues.

b7 seemed to be the fastest for me so far with no issues except the bluetooth which I would like to fix for my car.

Is it possible to load b7 and flash a different modem to fix the bluetooth?

If this is a stupid question please forgive my noobism. Just trying to learn.

If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction?

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
agreeeeeed. it's terrible!
[Captivate Android Development] Kionic:
Yup...that was it . The benchmark had it at 603 . Its at 1877 now .
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I would just flash b8 and then flash the JJ4 modem. If you flash b7, you'll end up with the i9000 based kernel, which means you'll need an i9000 based modem...and having those will bork your bluetooth. The only difference between b7 and b8 is that b8 is pure captivate...b7 included CogKernel2 and the JK3 modem, where b8 includes supercurio's JJ4 kernel and the JI6 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Kionic:
What oc kernel works great with this rom ?
[Captivate Android Development] zphelj:
Flashed b8 and I can't find an allow installation from unknown sources checkbox under Settings->Applications.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Agreed. If you want to run i9000, you want to run something like Perception that is built for that from the ground up. Mixing things is where keeping it real goes wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Minor723:
After flashing b8 my phone is mainly staying in E mode rather then 3g. Any ideas? Should I flash jj4 modem.bin?

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Set on by default. You will not find that button in a captivate based rom
[Captivate Android Development] zphelj:
Hm, any way I can test this? Trying to install a beta APK from the web and it does nothing, just as if unknown sources was disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Download an app from here. Just find a random apk. Or try to restore an app with ttitanium backup
[Captivate Android Development] k0sun7eash3d:
The one you're trying to install may be a bad/corrupt apk. Try installing a different one. I never had a problem sideloading with and Cog or Perception rom.

How much ram

Anyone familiar with how much RAM I should be showing in the task manager in 2.3.8? Im showing 304mb..seems low.

No Data Help

I flashed 2.3B8 from 7B and every works fine except no data connection. I have flashed modem bin files from odin (both JJ4 & JI6) and still nothing.

What did I do wrong??? Suggestion?
[Captivate Android Development] markpaiz:
Well I feel like this rom is a little crisper, less lock screen lag too. I dont care for petty numbers as long is it performs. Also, my data speeds are back up to 2.5mbps from 1.6mbps on 2.3.7... satisfied so far. Linpack close to 14 and Quadrant 1500 ish. What is Perception benching these days?
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:
Orlandochad I have had that problem before go to clock recovery and clear dalvik cache uninstall and reinstall clockworkmod then try reflash cappy cwm
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
The phone still has the same amount of total ram. The other 40 mb went back to system functions. Video decoding, the modem and the operating system all lose ram when you create more for user apps.
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
My Only complaint is no HSUPA on the ji6 but overall a lot better so far.

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
You will never get HSPA on a pure captivate rom. You will have to flash a new modem.

Cognition is pure captivate and I believe DG plans to keep it that way.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
Check the perception rom thread. I don't know if the files are in this one.

They are all flashable using cwm.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You will need to flash the stock JF6 first and then install this ROM...
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
Well besides the Bluetooth Static, 2.3b7 had hsupa, I can understand Designgears wanting to keep the Cognition stock Captivate, but what is a good hsupa modem that will work with this flash?

Cheers,

Charlie
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
There isn't one. If you must have HSUPA, you'll have to flash both an i9000 kernel and a HSUPA modem on top of Cog. If you flash a HSUPA modem only, you will lose all audio in phone calls.
