MODS please start a support thread.... seriously, there is more crap and people complaining about **** than anything else in the thread to be useful to anyone who knows what they are doing.... Most question can be answered by reading the facts...

Seriously start a support thread for COG..... unbelieveably.... Out of every 10 f...ing pages 9.5 of those pages are people complaining about stuff and what they want and stuff.... this should be about features and instructions....

Disappearing white dots on TW Launcher

The modified TW launcher is nice but those white dots/buttons disabled in beta6 were actually functional....I have about 8 pages of Apps. I use the buttons to jump from one page to the other ...say from page 1 to page 7....but now I have to literally slide from page 1 to 2 to 3 .....all the way to 7. Is there any way to get the original TW launcher without the buttons disappearing?

Thanks

OK. I do not have access to Odin as I only have a Mac. Currently on cog 2.16 and have been holding off on 2.2 because of the lack of clock work. 2.26 now has the old recovery thus I can use clockwork to go back. Tempted to try this but would I be better off reflashing the JH7 OTA to get back to a more stock setting, then flash 2.2, or is it safe to flash right over 2.16?

Cog 2.16
[Captivate Android Development] djide:
True but again...its from people complaining that you get a perfected rom. It is in Beta and people need to actually use it and report issues they are having. I believe thats what this thread is about and not only about features and instructions....but again I might be wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Brass FR:
I'm having this same issue, I searched the thread for replies, but haven't seen any.

I am NOT having the Youtube issue, I can use the browser and Youtube without issue.

I just can't link my Google account.

Are we alone with this? Any ideas?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Method I used was:

DG one-click Master Clear

DG one-click Stock JF6 Restore

TGA_Gunman one-click Root

ROM Manager - Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery

ROM Manager - Installed Cog 6b from SD (with backup & cache wipe)

Settings shows:

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: I897UCJI6

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 jataek.lee@sep-11 #1

Build: Cognition.v2.2.Beta6.UCJI6

EDIT - Saw Divinedark's update, Airplane mode on/off worked for me as well.

Is anyone having intermittent network connectivity problems? Some time this afternoon I lost connectivity to AT&T and have not been able to make or receive calls and texts. Restarts and battery pulls have had no effect. Connectivity gets restored on its own, but will drop out for seemingly no reason. Never had service problems where I am at right now, and I have 4/5 bars and show inservice to the AT&T HSDPA network.

I agree, wired headset is working fine. I actually use the headphones that came with the phone at home, and a 3rd party sety at work. Both of them seem to be working normally. No problems here.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
I don't understand.

I have re-flashed every different way it can be done. No dice.

I can't get the headset that came with the phone, or any other 3rd party set to work.

The second i flash back to 2.1 roms, it works.

I think i am giving up... Just try not to rub it in that yours is working, and mine, is not.
[Captivate Android Development] Necronius:
a description of download mode

The FAQ is lacking a description of what Download mode actually looks like. I did exactly what you did several times and was actually sitting there in Recovery mode instead, not realizing it.

If your phone is in Download Mode, you should see a large yellow triangle icon with a shovel wielding droid in it. The text "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" should be at the bottom. This board won't let me post a link, but a quick image search on Google will show you this.

I highly recommend killing and restarting ODIN before you try again. I didn't and was soft bricked for about two hours last night. :)

I've taken the liberty of editing the FAQ wiki to add this info. It may seem rather obvious to someone who has flashed their phone many times, but it stumped me for quite a while.

Not worth reflashing for.

-----------------------------------------

A few other observations / suggestions:

Lagfix

Don't want to fan the flames, but it is needed. Out of the box, Eclair and Froyo both feel real snappy, but load them up with alot of big apps and background tasks, and you will curse the stuttering and hesitation. Samsung's (Googles's?) implementation of the RFS file system seems to lack "disk" I/O buffering, which is where a "lagfix" comes in. RyanZA's Ext2 or Voodoo's Ext4 doesn't really matter... they both provide buffering. CPU benchmark results have nothing to do with this.

EMail Client

Thanks to someone's suggestion on this forum, I tried K9 Mail

(code.google.com/p/k9mail/)

and really like it. It supports IMAP Idle (push notification) as well as polling, and has tons of configuration options. Have not tried it with Exchange, but works great with my IMAP server. You will suck up alot of battery life configuring it, but once set up it does not seem to use any more battery life than the stock email client.

GPS

Mine works well. Routinely get 5 - 10 meter accuracy. I can't explain why mine works when so many others are having problems. My settings are:

Operation Mode: MS Based

Accuracy: 80 (increasing from 50 helped lock and hold)

Server FQDN Type: Autoconfig

So that's my two cents. Many thanks to DesignGears for his hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] topshelf95:
Awesome work as always DG!

I hate even bringing anything up because you've done so much already, but if you're going for performance, is there anything that can be done about the remaining browser lag? Not that its a huge issue, really, browsing is certainly more usable than it was before the first fix, just asking. :o

I have two friends at work with captivates and I had put the original SRE overclock on one phone and put Cog 2.1.4 on the other and of course 2.2beta 5.5 on mine. I though maybe I was crazy with the browser lag thing but I put all three together and mine was noticibly slower, particularly in regards to scrolling larger pages. Still quite usable, just had a lot of "hitches" in it. Theirs literally just blew right through the pages without so much as a single hiccup. :cool:

Otherwise, I have none of the other issues being reported by others, even GPS works really well! Thank you for everything!

P.s. I've tried it both with and without one click lag fix and it has no bearing on this particular issue as far as I can tell. I'm thinking it may still be some of the memory leak left over??
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
oh no he didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Lag fix still needed!

Lag fix is still needed...

...if you are watching 720p/1080p mp4/mkv files!

Any video file with a high bitrate (1,000+ kb/s) will play poorly on your device if you don't upgrade your file system with lag fix.

Before lag fix, my movie (Avatar 720p 1,500 kb/s .mkv) was very choppy. After lag fix, the video playback was very smooth. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:

I have to agree with that 100%..................huge differences between the two file systems.
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
This is not true. Granted you may have had an issue that the lag fix improved for you, but I have a version of avatar ripped with 1800 bitrate (i know overkill for such a small screen) and it is as smooth as butter, and I am currently ruining cog 2.2 beta 6 with no lag fix.

So if you like having a lag fix and it works for you that's good for you - but it is not necessary needed by other people.
[Captivate Android Development] daveyian:
Ahh, cool.

I have used the stock screen long enough to see the message mentioned above. I assumed that it would go away once you did what it said but you know what they say about that.

I wouldn't put anything past Samsung though, I mean have you flashed to stock recently and been bombarded with the noisy assault of the factory boot up animation?

WTF were they thinking?

Enjoy it! At 43 I just learned how to multi-quote! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I was referring to the similar effect they both have in reducing lag. I've been doing this stuff since receiving my CS degree from Berkeley in 1978. Yikes, there ARE a bunch of children on this forum.

ext 4 is basically ext 2 with added features such as journalling. So ya there are some differences - but not huge differences.

And it is sooooo laggy. It says no lag fix needed, but I'll be damned if it doesn't. Which one should I use?
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
Before you jump to that conclusion, think what might be causing it. Maybe do a master clear. It isn't a lag fix that is needed.
[Captivate Android Development] android158:
H

I don't think it has anything to do with the rom. The same thing was happening on my phone when I was running my captivate stock. Try forgetting the network, restart your phone then reconnect to the net work. It has happened to my captivate twice since I got the phone on launch day. Both times I just "forgot the network" restarted the phone and reconnected and worked great again.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I don't believe that there is a Voodoo Ext4 lagfix (journaling filesystem) ready for Froyo. I use RyanZA's One-click lag Ext2 fix (non-journaling filesystem). You can get it on the market.
[Captivate Android Development] NOFSBIGE:
So what am I supposed to have with this new update? It looks like I lost Titanium Back up and lbstest mode... was i supposed to?
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
Did the one click odin, so everything was wiped out. Starting fresh with Froyo cognition (newest version). Noticed things bogging down when taking some apps from the screen to the trash, etc. When I started seesmic, I got the dreaded black screen of lag that I hated when I first got this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] iceman718:
True. Does anyone know if Voodoo for Froyo is being worked on?

Also, I'm still on Cog 2.1.6. Now that ROM Manager works with Froyo, I can flash 2.2 beta 6 now, then continue to update using ROM Manager, completely bypassing any of the previously required Odin stuff, correct?

That's normal if you don't have lag fix on froyo.

If you were to use OCLF on froyo, it will be about 1800 too.

Quadrant score of 1800 on eclair was with lagfix, no?

Yes you are correct.

[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Well, DG himself doesn't use OCLF nor recommend others to do so ( I believe he said it doesn't make much difference? ) - but personally, I do use it since it increase read/write speed.

At least this is better than in beta 4 where it wouldn't connect for me at all..

This has been discussed tp death. Oclf causes more problems than it fixes and in reall applications slows things down. It increases load and write timea in a non applicable test. Cappi doesnt have a cpu that has the optimized arm codes that the benchmark has but the ext oclf will use it. But since the system doesnt use those codes it wont actually affect anything on the cappi. Its a plafebo. I have finished readin way to many threads on this... And testing this myself. The real test that works is the second one on the faq. Tyat is a full io test and shows what we all know that the cappi is a beast with 14 mflops of read write(more than any other android device.
