Ok....I think I've got this down but just wanted to clarify.... I'm going from Cog 2.1.2 to the most recent (2.1.6) that way I can have usb tethering...... Tell me if these steps sound right:

1) I do NOT need to disable voodoo lag fix since i never actually installed it and it did it on its own when cog 2.1.2 was installed.

2) I'm going to use ti backup to backup my d/l apps/licences. Just the back up apps function should backup licenses too right? That is, I don't have to back up system data as well?

3) I d/l the rom to the sd card then just use clock work recover to select the rom right?

4) once i flash the new rom, then I just go back to ti backup and recover my apps.

Oh, and do I lose all my photos and such on the phone? Is it a full hard reset using clock work or just a ROM update?

Sound right to everyone??

One lesson I learned from my last flash was do NOT backup marketplace on ti backup -- it gave me an att restricted marketplace when I restored apps and i'm assuming if i had let the cog rom install its own marketplace, it would have not been att restricted right? Either way, I ended up using app brain app market.

This update should hold me off until Froyo is officially ours!

Im using camera 360 pro...thats why im confused. I thought it would fix it.

There isn't any option that pertains to orientation when taking or saving a photo though
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
It happens to me too. I'll try to navigate through settings to see what I can find. Hopefully a few others will chime in with their findings.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I use vignette and it saves the pictures in the correct orientation.

Edit..let me do some testing

Ok....using vignette it uploads them correctly...tested taking pic holding phone in both positions port and landscape, uploaded to facebook and no need to rotate though I already got some comments wondering why I am sharing photos of my coffee cup...lol

Posted from my Captivate running Cognition B9 with Voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] acrazzyhobo:
For some reason my nandroid backup doesn't work anymore like it just stays on the att world phone screen for an hour unless I go into recovery mode so I can't flash back to the stock version that came with the cappy. So if I wanted to revert back would I just format the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Kinda funny i posted to do master reset and flash stock. Got cut down. But now its the "new" thing to do.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Personally, I believe there is no reason to master clear as the portion of your internal memory that gets cleared is a different "partition" from where the rom resides. I flash A LOT and only use master clear if an issue comes up that cannot be explained or if I want to clean up my internal memory.

[Captivate Android Development] acrazzyhobo:
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I think you will need to disable Voodoo because Clockwork will have problems with the EXT4 partition that Voodoo creates...
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Master clear REformats the internel SD....From what i can tell. Users can ido this as well. But most dont so they reload old data from that. Mainly from going to vodoo from none before. Therfore causing issues from that app or alot more. Thats why i dont backup. Go ahead. Flash stock. Backup all your apps. Once flashed to this redo your backup. See what happens. Might take a some time but strange stuff will happen. Test it. Im not nuts. once in awhile i know what i talk about.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I never use master clear and I do not have any weird issues, every now and then I will reformat my internal SD just to clean things up....
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I did not say you were nuts, just overkill to do it every time especially considering most people in this thread stick with this rom only

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Even master clear does not really do away with your filesystem. I have had alot of issues from working on kernels that only stock flash would resolve. No im not totally sure why but stock always works best to reformat. That is UNLESS you chose reformat with odin. That helps alot.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
That is because a master clear does not touch the system

. And dg's roms wipe the system, data and cache when installed anyway
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Wish that was true. Look at most flashing issues from the last 4 pages. Either dont know how or FC issues.

EMail in Beta 9.1.3

Have tried to read through all the topics but please help me confirm...

I am on Beta 6 and reasonably happy, but somewhat flakey e-mail.

I think I can easily get to Beta 9+, but what is the status of email.apk? I believe Beta6 and Beta9 are completely different, with 7-9 back to the Samsung version that has the problem with blank replies.

I saw a few notes about a trial version of the APK that might fix it, and some said "fixed" and some "broken" but then it died out -- was there a conclusion? Is there a better APK for mail that should be used with Exchange on 9.1.3?

I actually do not want to leave beta 6 if the reply problem returns, that was a real killer for me. I realize I can get back to 6, but I appreciate it if someone can save me time. Or for that matter a better email for beta 6 would be fine, but I figure better to keep up.

Thanks.

PS. Touchdown and Moxie and others do not do it for me, with multiple exchange servers. Beta 6 is pretty close, but it has trouble with folders.

Is there anyway to add a custom wallpaper without losing resolution?

You're required to use an expandable box to select a small part of your image that it takes and expands to fit the background. Then it looks like crap. Anyway to use the whole image as background kind of like windows where you can either tile it, or stretch to background?

Exchange

I just figured I'd chime in to say that I am experiencing this weird blank Exchange email issue as well. I have two different Samsung Captivates, and as soon as I Odin'd them to 2.2, any replies to emails would arrive blank... like I just forwarded the original. The same is happening with Cog B4.

This seems to only happen with replies. I moved them back to 2.1 and everything started working great. Bumped back up to 2.2 again and both are having the issue again.

Weeeeirddd.....

Is there a Stet by Step guide on how to Update to this ROM

I went from the Stock 2.1 that came with the phone to the 2.2 that was leaked but not Cognitions

But now I'm trying to load 2.2 beta 9.1.3 and it won't load

I tried everything

so I downgraded to 2.1 and it still won't work

using Oden and it just says

FIRMWARE update start then

REMOVED

then it just reboots and I still have 2.1

I have all the drivers loaded

I know this will go unanswered but thought I would try anyway

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
He told you right to go read the wiki. Its in there for odin to put the pda file in and the pit file in but there is no csc file so you can ignore that. So with that said if you had went to the wiki and read like the OP says and the big letters on the download site then you wouldn't have had to ask this question and he would have provided the answer.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Yes sir. Sorry i was reading in another thread lmao. But thanks!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I don't know the context of the posts you are referring to, but if you mean this one, it clearly says for people having issues. I really only have one argument with that post because it doesn't state that it's THE way to flash. If you said something to the effect that everyone should be doing a master clear and flashing stock or they will probably have problems then I would argue with you.

My one major problem with going to stock is, most people will be pointed to the one-click Odin flasher and more than a few of them will have the 3 button combo disabled. Eventually, some poor bastard is going to have something go wrong and end up with a lovely skipping stone. Therefore, if we are going to be all anal about it, why not at least point them to C3POL0L's stock flasher which preserves the download mode button combo?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Okay....now I think its time to get hard..at least take a minute to read the replies to your posted question! and no one here is waiting for your thanks...

It is funny though. Im gonna flash my phone. With odin. But i have no clue i need to select files for it? Yet i am going to flash this phone one way or another. Thats why i didnt respond. So Qs have no answer. Lol. Some are better left alone. Is that better everyone? Lmao
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Oh how did i know YOU would return lmao. I never think about the 3 button combos not working. I am sooo SORRY man. Now that i know what to flash i will start posting about it. Ok? There is no THE way to flash. Flash what you want how you want. Then have issues deal with them how YOU want and on your own.....im just sayin :-)

And if you really want i will have a few mods come in and tell you thats THE way to flash. If you need that advice. I know how to tie my shoes without anyone telling me how to tie them. But if you need it man.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I went from 9.1.2 to 9.1.3 giant the cwm, rm file. Everything seemed to be working ok but I have read about the video call button so I wanted to see if it would work ok. It immediately fc's. I then try out using the swippling of the contact and it will dial, starts to ring, fc comes up and if I click on it closes the call. if I do not push the fc then I can finish my call before pushing it. next I applied older contact.apk's. the call button went away and it looked lile the older versions but I was still getting force closes. So I brole down and ised the pc for odin3 one click and did a Master reset. I lost everything in my tibu folder which sucked. the weird part is that all i did was let the phone reboot on its own after the factory reset. i still have 9.1.3 and no more issues with force closing. it kept the changes i made to the circle battery and the older style contact.apk So far it is running great. Anyone else seen this? Ideas as to why/how it kept some stuff but got rid of ALL my internal card? Does it automatically rewrite the original files after a master reset yet keep whatever I placed it it? Oh well it is wprking good now. I KNOW it doesnt mean anything but quadrant scores with 9.1.2 were 1545 or a little higher. With 9.1.3 it only scored in the 1400s. I rebooted the phone and ran quadrant again and now it is showing 1525 or so. Just wanted to share my mishap in case any one else sees this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
You are forgiven.

Deal.

Agreed.

I suppose you could have a few mods come in and say silly things. I mean, you may have that power, I really can only take your word for it.

Be all that as it may, you asked why people didn't agree with your method when you proposed it and now suddenly that method seemed to be "the new thing to do." I took the time to explain what the reason might be. My apologies if you took offense to the having your question answered. I suppose it was just a rhetorical question meant to say you thought of it first and weren't getting due credit.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
No thats not it. I dont want credit for a thing. Like people here that like to donate. Remember without this site this ROM would not be possible...well here anyhow. Thats what the stars by my name mean. I donate to xda. And to alot of the DEVs. Including DG. I have been here awhile. I know how to flash and what to do. I am not a n00b to linux either. Thats why i went android. Using CW does not clear internel mem like odin. Just like for whatever reasone most cooked ROMs dont. Thats why task29 was created for WinMo. Has to do more with Nand and nothing with OS. Thats why i tried to get older users to understand with my post about WinMo before. Just like how most users in here have no idea about removing a sim before flashing. Like i said. I want no credit. But i do know what i am talking about. And im not here to argue. Or hold anyones hand. So take what you want from my post.

Thanks guys....I totally have been itching to go to Froyo but I need a stable build since I'm using this phone for work stuff as well. So I figured I'd wait until we get our official Froyo and then DG's version of it.

Ya, not sure about this? Jhernand says to disable voodoo but I thought if you didn't manually do the voodoo lag fix and instead used the voodoo lag vix ROM flash you don't have to disable.

Either way, I disabled voodoo then enabled it anyways just to be safe.

When using ti backup, what apps do you NOT backup? I backed up everything like marketplace, etc. Is there anything I should NOT have backup'd/restored?

And one other question, other than using wifi to get to the unrestricted app market, how else can we do that?

Thanks for all the help!

Hey guys and gals. I have a question that maybe someone here can answer. As of right now im running the stable 2.1.6 Eclair version of Cog. I want to go 2.2 Beta version.

CAn someone help me out with this one issue here.... i upgraded from 2.1.2 to 2.1.7 to have usb tethering (otherwise I was totally satisified with 2.1.2)..... Now, I can't figure out how the heck to tether?? I tired "PC Internet" which didn't work. I didn't see a USB tethering option anywhere (including in network/wireless)..... Any help would be much appreciated. Did I restore some setting from ti backup I shouldn't have which is blocking it??

BTW, if it helps, it still boots up with the ATT world phone screen (always has even with cog 2.1.2). SO I think I backed up (from stock) and restored some file/data that I shouldn't have that keeps following me through my restores.
