Yeah my battery life isn't very good. Still, I hate having larger apps in the memory when I'm definitely not going to use them. I think it's a habit I picked up from "regular" computers, closing programs I wasn't using, but I guess I should get out of that habit.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Not true, some apps will continue to run until you force clear level 1 & 2 of ram or force close the application.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yeah ,e too..I don;t run any Task killers....No need for them.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
dirtyballoonot, do you really have to back to 2.1 or is that just if you're having trouble and need to start over? I ask because I'm running 2.3b1 right now and don't have odin (mac users, support heimdall!). I have a nandroid backup of 2.1 update 1 (JH7 I think), I could flash back if necessary but I would rather not.

Great little guide there by the way! 1 suggestion to add, don't you have to disable voodoo somehow? Personally I don't even know if I'm running voodoo but I think it was part of 2.3b1. And other lag fixes always have to be disabled right? Maybe throw that in there, if you want.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
I believe DG said to someone who was having data issues to make sure you flash from JI6 or JJ4, not JF6. Might want to check on that but I saw that a few pages back. Voodoo should be enabled after flashing, if flashing from stock JI6 or JJ4. Not sure if beta 4 would be good for this.
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
i mean...jh7 to ji6 (jj4 was removed in b3 right?)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
No fix is needed, sounds like a bad flash or you have conflicting /data in which case you should wipe data...
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
From what I've read from 2.3B on, you can flash without doing a data wipe (Just leave the option unchecked in ROM Manager)

As for disabling lagfix, that won't be neccessary if you've master cleared and loaded stock 2.1

That was mainly for people having issues, to have them pretty much start from scratch. If you're upgrading, it's recommended to disable lagfix, yes
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
Do you backup system apps as well? Try not restoring your gmail with TiBu. Restoring system apps might cause a problem. You can try going into ROM manager and fix permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] wjcaptivate:
No I did not make a backup of the stock rom. I guess I lost my android id forever. I thought I had read carefully enough I guess I was wrong, I flash the rom that didn't say same android id. Thanks to everyone for their help.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
All you have to do is flash back to stock 2.1 and grab it...
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Hey sorry dirtyballoonot I made a type, I meant to say

So I didn't mean the data wipe, I was wondering about having to go back to 2.1 at all?

Thanks for replying, and I do like your little guide there. It seems like the same questions, for the most part, keep getting asked and answered again and again... and I've only been on this forum for a week! I would be interested in expanding upon that and throwing it onto a wiki page or something... seriously stock captivate blows and soooo many people have the captivate, it's a runaway success, so I foresee more and more noobs (like myself) coming here looking for ROMs and consequently guides.

An "Upgrade Matrix" would be sweet... like on the x have the versions of stock and cognition (JH7, 2.3b1, 2.3b3, etc) and the y could be things like "Flashback to stock?" "Need to disable lagfix?" "Need to flash kernels?" "Data wipe?" So you choose your current version from x, then read across the y what you have to do in order to upgrade to the latest ROM. Does that interest/seem useful to any noobs here?

The only issue is that DG is so damned prolific that it may be hard to keep up!
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I flashed from JH7 following the steps in this post exactly http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9040336&postcount=8634.

I have no FC issues or data problems. So far everything has been amazingly smooth. I was a little hesitant to even flash with the amount of problems people seem to be having but now I realize it seems to be largely user error.

Again I followed those steps to the letter, going from JH7(where I was previously), to 2.3b2 right to 2.3b3. I reinstalled all my apps plus data via titanium backup and no issues.

Loving froyo. Thanks DG.

Problem

I was running v2.3b2 upto last night just fine and today grabbed v2.3b3 and put it on with rom manager the same as I did b2 and now my phone is dead , won't boot and the 2 button recovery mode won't come up when it was working just fine before attempting to put b3 on. I was watching it go through the process than it just went black and won't come back. Any ideas on why it stopped allowing me to do the 3 button recovery mode?

It's always a good idea to follow the directions that has been repeated in this thread many times...But I'm a rebel and I've never taken out my SIM or External SD card when flashing for the last 5 years with both Windows phones and now Android and I haven't had an issues...YMMV....:)

HeyTell App

To anyone using Cognition v2.3b3

I am trying to use the app HeyTell for its wonderful crossplatform capability, PUSH-TO-TALK!!!! :) , and friend-gps location. But the app seems to hate playing on the cognition rom. My friends on stock rom have no problems but I get FC alot, which is a shame when this program has great potential to save me minutes.

Just a report for DG. Wonderful ROM tho, great battery life and everything else works perfect so far.
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
If the radio is not turned on you can't receive a phone call. I'm starting to see a lot of cargo cult mentality in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Relax. Guess you didn't see the other posts saying the same thing about the radio? And I guess you missed the laughing smily, indicating I was joking?
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
This would imply that the android_id is stored somewhere other than the flash filesystems on SD in the phone. If a generic stock 2.1 can access it there should be a way to access it after an upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
Yeah, I did miss that, I'm still catching up on that last twenty pages of posts. Sorry. :o

Anyone having issues with random shutdowns at this point? I flashed the latest Cognition build today, and then went to watch a movie. When I came to look at the phone after the movie was over, it was off. I have been using LauncherPro and have heard in some threads that it can cause these shutdowns. Anyone else see this happening?
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
This usually means that the cache is already clear, or for some other reason there's nothing in the cache to clear.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Have you tried opening Odin first, loading odin with the files and then hook up your usb cable with no battery, sd card or sim in the phone. with odin open and the usb plugged in now put your battery in. It should go right into download mode. This is how I got out of a bad I-9000 rom flash the disabled my buttons. It's worth a shot. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Have you tried the Launcher Pro forums? I sometimes find issues posted in there that aren't posted on xda.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Use the Odin version of 2.3.b3 and you should have your phone back.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I've had shutdown problems ever since I flashed the first time. For me there is no application that causes it - it's all related to battery charge being > 90. I had to install keep alive to prevent my phone from shutting off. What was your battery level when it shut off?
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
Leave you current position and try getting a lock, it will take forever again. 9.1.3 is the best GPS so far.
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
Download the ODIN package with the stock firmware, flash, then flash 2.3b3 and you should be good (read my post a few pages back).

Same here, first the freebie, then re-activated my pay version. Runs great!
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:

[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I have the latest LauncherPro running on 2.3b3, no issues.

There might have been problems with backup/restoring apps and data using TiBu on previous versions.

Before I updated to 2.3.x, while still on 2.1.x Cognition, I found that the Backup functions of LauncherPro were broken.

So, when rebuilding after the 2.3 flash, I did not restore LauncherPro or it's settings.

Now LauncherPro and it's backup functions are working normally on 2.3b3.

Restore using TiBu on different versions of apps can cause problems that only re-flash can fix.

Sweet. I was going to update to the lastest but now I am going to wait. :D

BTW when I did this flash orginaly I did not know about saving my ID.

If I am reading this all correct I need to flash back to stock. Get an orginal ID. Then when I flash to a new Beta Rom I need to enter the orginal ID I received form the stock rom. Am I correct on this?

I am going to be using Odin for the flashes like I always have. I and to do rom updates form my phone very soon. I just had to get confortable doing Rom's for none Windows phone after having them for over 6 years.

Like Komodo said, Auto Killer is not a task killer. Here is a link to the details on the 'official autokiller' site. There is a good thread on the topic here on XDA but was easier to find the link above.

Once I read up on it and other progs that do the same thing, like MinMem (uh, I think that is not quite right, but something like that), I uninstalled Advanced Task Killer. AutoKiller works well for me.

Wireless disconnects/reconnects; GPS

WIFI Disconnects

I had posted earlier, and I think I've seen a few others post, about losing connection to my wirelss, for just a few seconds. Most would not notice this type of issue, because it is such a short disconnect. Although if you have problems with downloads that seem strangely long, or something like that, this could be why.

The way I came across this is that I have Tasker installed, and it is using a disconnect from my SSID to trigger a forward to VM, whereas a connection to my SSID triggers a forward to home.

I had put in a SAY command, mostly for debug purposes while I worked through the setup, to say "Lost WIFI" whenever it loses connection.

Also, the forward ends up sending a message to the screen that does not close. So in the AM I would get up and find anywhere from 15-20 of those to click through as it whould happen multiple times overnight.

I wasn't positive if this was for this ROM, or a phone issue. What I did today was restore an old CWM I had of Cog2.16. It has been on the phone now for 3 hours, and not one disconnect. On the 2.3b versions, and actualliy on 2.2b9.1.3, too, I have been having the wifi disconnects every 15 to 30 minutes.

I'm going to move back kto 2.3b2 now, but thought I'd pass this info along.

GPS

I've noticed varying reports of success of GPS posted. I found it to be very bad on 2.3b1; on 2.3b2, i found it better but not great. But I have installed the Jupiter6 files, and moved to MAPs 4.4 (not sure that helped, will test with MAPs 4.6), and it worked flawlessly, no blue circles, over a 100 mile drive yesterday.

Could just be the flakiness of Captivate GPS: works sometimes and not others :rolleyes:

[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
The majority of the apps in memory are just sitting there doing nothing. No cpu use, etc, rather they are there because you used then and it is more efficient to have them loaded and waiting for the next time you open the app. If you close or kill apps that need to restart such as email, it uses more cpu and battery because they have to completely reload.

And as far as memory management apps, they are in essence task killers because they kill apps when memory available is at a higher setting than default.

I am currently running 2.3b1 and am supremely happy with how everything is working. I was planning on installing 2.3b3 to get the autotext predictions and Mobile AP running, and then that would likely be my final flash, at least for a year or so.

Anyway with this development I guess I'll hold off until this is built and depending on people's reactions I can either just go with 2.3b3 as planned or flash your latest and greatest.

I can attest to far superior battery life without the use of a task manager. Even with a poorly calibrated battery, it meant the difference between 5-6 hours of heavy use to 8-10 hours.

I did have the APN issue that others have reported, just created it and moved on. I have also read about battery life and I have no clue why but this is the best battery life I have had so far on any ROM (I'm running 2.3b3). I did charge, charge, and charge again to 100% before flashing but I dont think thats it. It is very odd how things go so differently for different people, guess I got lucky this time.

Pretty sure the FC's are related to other lagfixes being flashed previously...

Putting together some scripts to convert everything back to RFS on flash... That way there are zero problems...
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
Just a heads up that when you do release that you should probably warn people that it will take awhile to convert, maybe by adding echo "If you reboot your phone during this process you or your phone will catch fire" (or something to that degree) to the update-script so people don't think "geeze, it's already been 30 seconds!

Thanks for the kick in the pants DG. Here's what I did to get the thing running. Based on your suggestion I thought of trying to wipe just the offending program data. It WORKED! Using the TiBu program, I wiped the data for the native email app (2.2). Then, when I ran the program, it worked just fine. It asked for the account particulars like it would on initialization, looked at google server and loaded the current brace of message data. Voila!! All is as it should be! AWESOME WORK DG! The Voodoo ROM is yet another masterful stroke. I'm off to the donate button. Keep on rockin!

ps: on my eclair/swype keyboard, I had a "next" key. This came in quite handy. In my flying occupation, I am always filling out online forms to get wx breifings and file flight plans.

Is there an equivilent key combo or somewhere a next button that I'm missing?

ONe last Q? Are there any easy shortcuts/long key presses to bring up the keyboard selection screens so we can switch on the fly?

Thanks again and keep up the great work!!
