well DG said you should remove your sim card every time you flash a rom that has a new modem.bin,

hope that helps :)
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I have no clear idea but same thing happened with me on Beta 2.8.1 while installing z4mod - continuos loop into reboot.. i guess it has something to do with 2/e recovery :confused: but as you have experienced this I will stay away from circle mod! I would till love to have it though...
[Captivate Android Development] Lee1733:
Did a factory reset and master clear, then flashed directly from Cognition 2.2b7 to 2.2b9 (using odin) with no issues. Everything seems to be working great, had a few weird issues with b7 but it was mostly great. b9 fixed those issues and is noticeably faster when opening certain apps. The only issue is that I too have no timer sound.

EDIT: Just had my first soft reboot since purchasing this phone. I was trying to use lbstestmode and it seemed to freeze up and then reboot. I tried it again afterwards and it worked fine so it may have just been an isolated incident but I thought I'd mention it.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
that is not how you install it...

It is easiest to use terminal to install it... never heard of installing it the way you have described.

the way i install it is to place it on your sd card... lets say it is named "framework-res-circlebatt.apk" and it is in a folder called "Circle Batt"

open up terminal and type the following:

su (you may be prompted to allow super user permissions... select allow)

cp /sdcard/Circle Batt/Framework-res-circlebatt.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

hit enter on your keyboard.

restart your device.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremeskier:
Thanks Cheif I'll try it that way. I was just going off what DG said in the Circle Batt Mod post on how to install.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I know.. just givin' you a hard time.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Ahh gotcha. well there are always multiple ways of doing anything... you could also install it with adb if you wanted.

I usually use terminal to install things whenever possible... whether terminal is the "best" way or not, i have no clue.
[Captivate Android Development] rules45:
Thank you. Yeah it was my fault, I had to re-flash and be patient. Once it reloaded the second flash everything was working fine.

Thanks DG, keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
So I can flash 9 over 8.1 with cwm, and voodoo will install correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
ty. i found the battery life is ****. 22 percent in like 20 minutes or less.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
It should get better. I flashed with 100% battery and after flashing I reconfiged my battery and it still went from 100% to 70ish in about 2 hours.

Since then, it has been at 65% for like 3 hours or so and I have been constantly installing and messing around with it.

I have found that just using it from 100% to 0 after flashing a new rom and then charging it fully, makes the battery life a lot better. I've had amazing battery life on previous betas, I doubt this one is much different.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
I also have heard (not confirmed) that flashing at 100% battery is way to go. I did last time i flashed b7 and my battery is realy good. Im at work and cant do b9 right now but i will flash tonight on 100% battery and see.....also maybe a noob question here but does this new kernel allow OC/UV?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I'd like to know what mechanisms are in play that cause battery drain after flashing with the sim installed. This doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.

The problem is there is a ton of unreliable anecdotal information flying around these forums. A perfect example being all the reports about how good or bad the JPM modem is on reorient. One guy will say his phone is unusable and another will say it's the best his phone has ever worked. Then a day later a guy who thought JMP/HSUPA was great reports that after actually driving somewhere with the phone it became unreliable.

The same goes for battery usage and one modem.bin vs. another. How can identical hardware give such varying result? Probably because it also depends on the configuration of the cell towers your phone is talking to. And I just read someone reporting that battery life is improved on beta 9, but was anything in the change log related to battery issues? I don't know, but I suspect this update was almost all about getting Voodoo working. What changes from 8.1 to 9 are influencing battery drain?

Then there's flashing back to stock before flashing a ROM. Well, there may be something to that, but again I'm a skeptic. I never do it. I've had problems like FCs in past Cog betas, but I solved them by re-flashing with odin (my own flimsy anecdotal evidence). So maybe it's more a matter of odin vs. CWM. Almost anyone who religiously flashes to stock first is going to then use odin to do the next one, I would think. What if instead of flashing to stock and then to froyo you just flashed your froyo ROM twice with odin? Both procedures involve 2 consecutive flashes. Would you see an equal increase in success stories if people just did that? My opinion: if you used CWM and had problem, flash with odin or clear user data and cache and flash again with CWM, and if that fails then maybe flash to stock (and hope it all goes well if you don't have 3 button combo).

Is it possible that removing the sim card before flashing actually changes the way your phone's radio behaves from then on? Yeah, I suppose, but I'd like to know how and why. Just like flashing back to stock before flashing froyo, I'd say the evidence is suspect.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
doesn't make the battery life better. Lithium ion doesn't need to be reconditioned. Though, you do need to calibrate it and that is what 100% to 0% and back to 100% does. It just makes the reporting of the battery life a little bit more accurate. That's all.
[Captivate Android Development] kevinmayer86:
THat's the way I did it but I'm getting FC's when pressing the power key.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
I am hesitant to flash voodoo as I am a flash addict and dont want to disable it every time I flash something new. Anyone know offhand if its "safe" to flash from cog with voodoo straight to shep with voodoo or darky with voodoo and vice versa without disbaling voodoo first? Will it keep recreating a new ext4 partition? I am not saying I want an absolute but just wondering if its definitely going to mess stuff up or if it "should" be ok. Anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
i had the same problem when i tried to install circle batt mod after i flashed beta9. its something in the framework-res files, they don't play nice anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] thehavock18:
It worked for me however after first book go to voodoo folder and delete disable voodoo file if you have it. reboot
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Has the CWM version of this been corredted? DG mentioned way back that the herbal was not flashing on beta 9

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Glad you got it working, but this is exactly why I wouldn't recommend people flash to stock without good reason. If you phone is unbrickable then fine, but many are 3-button-challenged.
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
i have done that a couple of time before and i never noticed a difference. but i usually switch roms about every other day so i definitely used to a ****ty battery
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
CWM version did not have voodoo folder after I installed, so I flashed using Odin

Everything seems fine now and voodoo is enabled

Quadrant was around 1600

Nice!
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
Yeah, I'm hesitant to flash to 9 because of this, but I think it's corrected.

Does B9 have back light notifications? I haven't tried any of the betas yet and can't live without bln from 2.1.7

[Captivate Android Development] thehavock18:
DG is using is own kernal along with Voodoo so if you are getting worse battery life that might play a part. I am getting pretty good battery drain comparable to 8.1 and that was really good.

JPM in the reoriented kernal is really fast and a huge battery drain. Connection speeds are crazy. I went from 850kb down and 180kb up to 2500kb down and 1500kb up. However when I changed cell towers it would cause the phone to soft reboot. I suspect this has to do with towers in the area. I believe JPM is the europe modem and this could be the reason for the problems.

On the SIM issue. I don't really see it causing a problem with battery however ODIN would never work for me with the SIM in. If I took it out and flashed everything went well. I actually only use ODIN when I brick the phone messing around with frameworks and what not doing my own themes. Othere than that I use CWM. I was on Cog7 went to Sheps using CWM then to 8.1 and now 9 without flashing to stock or using ODIN and everything is running smooth. I think people that have problems do a system restore and thats a no no.

Freakin loving beta9 so far. First release that I just had to have since I fell in love with asop. And omg I'm loving the boot up screen. Seriously dg for not having a source code to work with your doing as good of a job as cyanogen if not better. I can't wait to see what you do with a cm rom or just source it self.

What if you already flashed? Is it on the box somewhere? IMEI maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Hey DG, can you please tell me which modem version is included in Cognition B9? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kevinmayer86:
Battery Mod - B

For those of you interested I pulled the framework-res from cog9.1 and replaced the battery icons for circle battery - b.

to get it to work copy it to your internal sd card, and from adb shell

adb shell

su

cp /sdcard/cogb-framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

reboot

done!

So far it's working for me. I can use the power key and see all the extra functions in there.
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
I think it's the added graphics in the shutdown menu for Reboot, Recovery and Download. I used the following website to modify the framework-res.apk to add the Circle Battery Mod:

http://circle.glx.nl/

I also attached the zip file it created which can be flashed using Clockworkmod recovery on Beta 9.
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
So does the CWM version work with voodoo, as intended? I've seen yes and no, and I want to clarify. Is there a way to use the odin one without flashing to stock? And I don't really understand how I can restore all my apps and data after I flash... If it wipes all of my information, won't it wipe all my backups that TiBu made?
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Maybe I'm not understanding you, but why a "no no"? In the past month I've flashed every Cog Eclair Beta except one, all of the 2.2 Betas except for 8 and 8.1, all four CDE AOSP Betas, and Tayutama's 1.0.2. Before every flash except for two I've first Odin'd back to JF6, Master Cleared, and reformatted the internal SD before moving back up and I have yet to have the first issue having done it that way. (For the record, both times that I moved up using ROM Manager I didn't have any issues, either.)

I had this problem as well. I'm hoping that this will be fixed when the official release comes out. I was able to correct this by formatting phone numbers differently.

I was having market issues until I cleared the market app data..

The issue I was having is when I would select to install an app from the market, it would say its downloading, but not actually do anything besides sit there.. I the would cancel the download and do it over, then download and install would work.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I got 9 installed. No issue like I was having with 8 last night that I could not get installed. I had some issue. After Odin did the reboot my phone stayed at the ATT screen for a good 3-4min. I pulled the battery.

Then the phone did a master reboot. I got the ATT screen for a min or so. Then I got the new boot cognition boot screen. It stayed at that for a good min or two. Then I booted into to my home screen.

I did notice that now the ATT contact sync does work. I thought I read on past versions there were issues. I was able to use the one click root and open none market apps with out a issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
That's what I have been doing, swaping the apk's so I will have a working exchange, did the same on Cogv2.2Beta7, the e mail you used on Cogv2.2Beta6 includes responses with exchange replies and works with exchange.

Something wrong with your phone or your flash method.

Try flashing w/ ODIN.

The first time I flashed everything worked except the boot animation and voodoo so I just downloaded rom manager and reflashed and everything seems to be working great now so you could try a reflash and see if that helps. Just make sure to disable the lagfix first if it is working for you...

The first thing you should do is read the WIKI...

Open Odin

Put your phone in download mode and connect it via USB

Odin should recognize your device(you;ll see one of the boxes turn yellow)

Click "Pit" then select the "pit.pit" file included in the download

CLick "PDA" then select the "pda.pda" file included in the download

Click Start

CLick your heels three times...

Beta9 ODIN replaces your kernel and modem along with ROM. The ROM is fine. Something else is wrong. try restoring to stock and see what happens.

I must say, beta 9 > all other froyo builds for captivate this far.

I have amazing signal and service here in Kentucky. With i900 reorient kernel and i900 roms in some places I had no service. In my friends town (Corbin, KY) I had 0 bars the entire day while he had full bars on his at&t dumbphone. I tried every modem and finally realized I was on a band that had zero support with i9000 modems.

Phone is as fast and smooth as it has ever been. Battery seems to be awesome and the best part is I know this is just the start.

DG will have something new in no time, like always. With no source and ROMS this good, I simply can't imagine how badass our phone is gonna be once we have a real froyo build with source.

Cant give you enough props DG, without you I would be complaining about my phone, instead I am showing it off and constantly talking about it :)
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Hey Kizzmiazz.... Which framework is for the stock lock? Just the regular one right?? Not tw... I'm probably gonna use both, just wanted to clear up the difference between both. I'm pretty sure twframework is for the notification window, but better safe.... Lol.

Good work man.

And for anyone that has issues installing Beta9, I can clarify that this works both through clockwork and odin. I never flashed back to stock with clockwork and it installed without a hitch. Make sure you disable lagfixes prior to doing so. And I also did the odin way and got the same results, reverting to stock JF6 beforehand.... So here's the odin way that's been written before and is clear in many of the posts:

BACKUP!!!!

Restore to stock JF6

Download Beta9

Extract to it's own folder on desktop

Open odin from the extracted Beta9 folder

Take battery out of phone (take out sim and sd card if you want, I didn't and had no problems)

Hook up usb to computer

Hold both volume buttons and plug in usb to phone, should go straight into download mode, DO NOT HOLD THE POWER BUTTON!!!! If you do, I'll punch you in the kidneys

Odin should recognize device as COM or PORT ##

Click on PDA and select the pda file from the extracted Beta9 folder

Click on PIT and select the pit file from the extracted Beta9 folder

Click start

Watch the magic happen

First boot does take awhile, so don't get antsy in the pantsy, it's worth it.

Enjoy.

I wouldn't panic yet. Make sure you have the right files in the right slots. There should only be a PIT and PDA file. Unplug your phone from the computer and remove and replace your battery.
