You'll want to have titanium backup to restore your apps & data. You should be able to flash directly over the old ROM, but some folks like to wipe the old ROM, revert to stock, then flash the new ROM. If that's your plan, you'll need ODIN to clear then flash to stock. Your CWM update.zip should remain on your SD and you can reinstall packages from stock recovery so you don't have to re-root. It'll take you to Clockwork Recovery and you can install the new ROM from there...your choice.

Bluetooth static

Just a general question about 2.3b8, in the changelog it says that bluetooth static is fixed. Flashed this ROM last night then flashed to a different kernal(i9000 based). The static is still there, however, I did not check it before I flashed a different kernal. Is the static issue kernal based or ROM based?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Kernel/modem-based.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Did you flash an i9000 modem after the i9000 kernel? You can't do just the one without experiencing what you are experiencing. EDIT- I think that is correct at least.
[Captivate Android Development] adrian18w:
I'm having issues with the voice quality. It can hear the callers fine, however, the person on the other end states complains that I sound as if I would be a speaker phone and they can barely hear what I'm saying.

I have tried couple kernels, but still the same results. What is wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
What kernel and what modem are you running? You will have issues like this (and the BT issue above) if you mix i9000 kernel/modems with i897 stuff. If you flashed an i9000 kernel, flash JK4 modem as well (or some other i9000 modem).

That said, many people (myself included) get voice call aberrations even with a proper kernel/modem pair, which is why I am running Cognition :).
[Captivate Android Development] adrian18w:
I'm running gb-reorient-12-23-build-f with Cognition 2.3b8. The baseband version says that I'm also on JI6.

Hmm, I will try to flash the modem to JK4.

Thanks.

Does this ROM report Russian as supported language?

Hello,

I'm trying to install Gingerbread keyboard from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875202&highlight=language) and it fails to show "Russian" as available language in menu of input languages. According to some posts in the same thread people report this is due to ROM reporting that Russian is not one of supported languages. Can somebody confirm this assumption?
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
I had some random freezing when using Swype and when I pressed the softkeys, I disabled the vibration feedback and freezing just stopped ... anyone with this kind of issues in b8?
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Crap, I just accidentally thanked you instead of replying.

You're running a i9000 kernel. You need to flash a Captivate one (see supercurio's Voodoo thread).
[Captivate Android Development] adrian18w:
I flashed to stock v2.3b8 kernel, all works good.

Thanks.

My BT works fine for converstation.

I think it is voice dialing over BT that i897 has trouble with. Audio is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] jchanto:
noob question..there ya go!!

i had my stock 2.1 rom, i got Root and i downloaded cognition 2.2 and install it... but i realized a backup of my current rom.

now when i try to restore , it gets stucked on AT&T screen

what should i do ??
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
This is in regards to the ROM/Kernel/modem combination I am using and he was asking about.
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
I did flash the modem after the kernal. Is it possible to get the 2.3b8 kernel and modem out of the ROM? I am actually using the hardcore speedmod K12i 500mhz. At least I think it is i9000 since when I start up it shows the i9000 logo. Wont be able to say what modem I flashed until I get home unless there is a way to find it on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] onelight:
in call settings for voice calls uncheck Noise suppression...I had the exact same problem with cognition 2.3b6 and after unchecking it voice clarity for people on the other end was excellent again.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:

Baseband is your modem

Kernel is obvious

Build is ROM
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
MENU-SETTINGS-ABOUT PHONE

Baseband version is your modem, usually shortened up to the last few characters.

EDIT- Too slow!
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
My baseband is T959TLJL3 and looking at the kernal version it says 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-i897-k12-500mhz#116. Do I have them mixed?
[Captivate Android Development] gordec:
70% after 24h sound too good to be true. Anyone else confirm this? I have re calibrated over and over, and cannot get anything close.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I think the i897 in the title means that you are mixing. I briefly looked at the kernel thread for it and it specifies it is for i897. So yeah, you are mixing.

Flash JI6 modem or JJ4 modem to get settled again.
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
Will do, any ideas which one is better? I live in an area where i almost have to go outside to get reception. Maybe 2 bars as I sit at the couch so reception is the key!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
That's what I am running... but I don't use BT headsets for conversations.

I am going to change to a different setup tonight though... DG released a new Perception this AM.
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
Are you have bluetooth static issues?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yes, flashing a captivate modem or an I9000 Kernel will resolve this for you.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yup, but for me it is not a big deal since BT streaming music is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
Will do, I absolutely need bluetooth to be working since I am always driving. That and the fact that it is paired to my home phone so if I get little signal I dont have to walk around the house with my cell. I will try either one tonight and see what happens. Thanks everyone!
[Captivate Android Development] fortelv999:
about download mode i'm not sure but that error... i think it is because you have voodoo lagfix enabled...

if i were you, iwould use the odin one-click to go back to stock, the try again...

as for download mode... apparently it is easier to get to it if you take out the battery and hold the buttons while plugging the usb...
[Captivate Android Development] flashman653:
is there a way i can disable voodoo lagfix and if im not able to get into download mode how would i be able to use odin one click if my comp isnt recognizing my phone.... thanks for any help
[Captivate Android Development] novalovr66:
Are all JI6 modems the same? Looking through the threads and found a few that are in different phone threads.

Nevermind, I found it.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Folks sorry to cause some confusion -- but the conversation about the BT voice static is only in regards to Cog w/ an i9000 kernel/Modem combo that some folks are running.

The base ROM combo that Cog comes with works fine.

[Captivate Android Development] Mike S.:
Just fyi for anyone contemplating flashing this ROM.

I did it and have been happy so far. I came from Cog v2.1 and the steps I took were:

0. Titanium backup of all apps

1. Disable voodoo lagfix - reboot

2. Copy the Cog v2.3b8.zip file to the internal SD card

3. Open ROM Manager, flash clockwork recovery

4. Still within ROM Manager, select Install ROM from SD card, navigate to Cog v2.3b8.zip file and hit OK.

5. Profit

Ok, not the last step, but everything worked as it should. ROM seems very snappy so far. Good jorb DG!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yes, DG, good jorb!!

Brightness Control

I just flashed Cog 2.3b8 last night and I noticed that the TW notification bar swipe for brightness doesn't work. I read a few posts about it working but that might be for b6. Should it work for b8 and if not, is there a way to add it? I use that a lot as I prefer dim 90% most of the time and auto brightness doesn't go super dim most of the time.

Thanks,

Great Rom, my first for the captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] rameshb_v:
Yeah, it's because all these Captivate ROMS are missing necessary media player API's that are found in Stock Froyo. Winamp uses these API's and could not find them and will not play.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
So... Can we figure out a solution? Is there somewhere we can loot these files from or would they have to be Cap-specific?

It would be really nice if DG would weigh in on this... I'll buy you a six-pack lol, microbrew even. I need my npr.

Posted from i897/Cognition 2.3b8/speedmod k12i/T959TLJL3 using XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
There are two ways of disabling voodoo. Option 1: add an empty folder, within the voodoo directory, called "disable-lagfix" and then reboot. The folder name IS case-sensistive. Option 2: when shutting down your phone, assuming you're on a pretty recent copy of either Cog or Perc, select the "Recovery" option, and then via menu choices, once your phone comes back up, you can disable it.

As for your computer finding your phone when ODIN is running: first off, make sure ODIN is running. After that, plug your phone (which needs to be in "Download" mode) into your PC via USB cable. If you don't see anything light up within the ODIN screen, then just move the USB cable to another port. On my laptop, ODIN isn't reading on one of my ports, but it is on another.

I hope that's of some help. Good luck.

Anybody have problems getting chrome to phone to work? Nothing I send to the phone gets to my phone.

Using 2.3b8

Delete data. Uninstall if you don't know how to do that
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Completely revised, rebased Cognition is in the works ;)
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
You got another leak?
[Captivate Android Development] ppmz:
Couple pretty bad problems I've found with my Cog 2.3b6 phone:

1) Mobile AP doesn't work.

2) USB tethering doesn't work.

You can turn the options ON, they appear to connect, but on the PC the network connection says "IPv4 Connectivity: No Internet Access". Browsing the web on the phone itself works fine.

I didn't notice anything in the ChangeLogs for b7 and b8, so I guess it's still a problem?
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Just as I was beginning to wonder...

DG, on a related note... do you have plans to port Cog to GB?

As always, thanks for your dedication.

[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Awesome!! I've been jealous of the other guys getting their fancy new i9000 based ROM's.

Please tell me it will still be Captivate based? Also, let me know if you need a tester. Button recovery/download work 100% for me, but I am also one of those who experiences signal loss on the new i9000 ROM/modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Mike S.:
Figures. Right after I flash 2.3b8 from 2.1, you guys would announce this. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Still captivate based ;) Cognition will never go to i9000 based
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
You might want to play around with it some more, I had no problem on a MacBook Pro. Haven't tired USB yet because Windows 7 didn't like the drivers. I can try USB on OSX,
[Captivate Android Development] istitch:
DG rocks!!! :cool:

Cognition b2.8 + Juice Defender = Unbelievable battery life!

I was finding it hard to get a day out of other ROMS, even with all kinds of tweaks.

Switched it back to Cog b2.8 and its been 18 hrs since a full charge... Still @ 74% and projected battery life of another 51 hrs :D

This is with light usage (email, gtalk, facebook, couple of calls etc...)

Biggest hog still seems to be the display.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Do you use a black background? The helps a lot and probably less icons so there is more black. I use HD Rare Black Wallpapers from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Yes I got the same issue too in my phone. Navigation app went into this loop when opened directly. The way I worked around this was to restart the phone, open the maps app, get driving directors from there and hit the navigate icon from there to get into Navigation app, which opened fine. After this worked around, Navigation app itself worked fine when opened it directly. You might want to give it a shot too.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Is your GPS working though? I can't it to work, I have to fuss forever for it to finally work. I know this is a on-going issue, just thought I would ask how it is in b8.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Yes. I just exchanged my old Cappy to get a new one, as per the internal Samsung memo. And GPS worked perfectly on my old one on b8 and seems to work perfectly with the new one too on b8. The new phone has been just tested for 2-3 trips only, as I got it last night, but seems to work perfect in these trips. My navigation app also went into the loop initially on the new phone on b8, restarted it a couple of times and followed the procedure I said earlier and it seems to work perfect now.

Whts the exact issue you have been facing with GPS ?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
The usual. Wouldn't lock at all so I set the SUPL to what I had on stock (auto, based) but didn't track well, so I tired jupiter and just takes forever to lock. I think I am going to try the google supl with jupiter and then without.

Edit: I set it to google supl and it seems better of course i rebooted and it was always better after a reboot and deleting gps data on stock. Either way this ROM is great. My phone is actually usable now and I don't feel like throwing it or smashing it into something. Few times I thought about going back to my Fuze! The screen is so small....
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
NICE! I was this close to flashing an i9000 ROM (but didn't feel like dealing with all the incorrect product code & NV_data stuff :P )

I guess I'll sit tight and see what kind of goodness DG has in store with the next version of Cog!
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Duh, of course! It must be the official Rogers Froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Not even close...

Downloading?

Hey has anyone else had a screen that says downloading? My phone has been stuck on a screen that shows the android guy in a yellow triangle and it says downloading, it has been like this for 4 hours. It says to not turn off target!!!. I am wondering what to do, don't know if it's actually doing anything or is stuck, need help. Thanks, and I'm running the latest version of cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
If you are still running JI6 modem, try flashing JJ4 and see if it makes a change in your GPS performance. The ROM already includes most of the GPS "fixes" out there, and my GPS is as good as it ever gets on Cog. Try another modem though, clear stats and see if it improves. You may just need to find the right combo for your phone/area.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Thanks, but SUPL was set to stock after I put b8, is that right?

I will try the modem and put the Jupiter files back if it doesn't work well on my way home from work.

[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
DG -- I see that the baseband is UNKNOWN -- as you are still building the sucker, but does your new bundle of joy (aka Cog 3) have a new modem for us to play with as well or are we still stuck with JJ4/JI6 for the meantime?
[Captivate Android Development] istitch:
You must be psychic... :D

Yep, I almost always use black wallpapers.

But I do have a lot of icons on the main page....

I hate having to scroll / click to get to frequently used apps :)

I am attaching a screenshot of my main screen.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
I don't know what DG's got, but the official Rogers should have its modem uploaded pretty soon...
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Did u try removing the battery completely and restarting the phone ? How did it end up in the download mode ? is it connected via VSB ?
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
Hey thanks, interesting I have no clue how it ended up in download mode, i guess i hit buttons while it was in my pocket at work, I didn't even know that was download mode, which was causing my confusion. I removed the battery, reinserted it and restarted phone, no problems, thanks for helping this new guy figure out more about his phone :). And no, wasn't hooked up to USB, it was in my pocket the whole time, very odd.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I have been meaning to try not having icons or maybe having a blank panel but the more i thought about it, how much time you spend on the home screen if your phone is on. I just make sure I turn the display off instead of waiting for the timer which for me is set high.

It bothers me all the time when people set there phone down and don't turn the screen off. I just want to go turn it off for them.
[Captivate Android Development] ajgarr:
I was using b6 since it came out and was happy with it apart from GPS issues and BT voice dial not working. Upgraded to b8 about a week ago and GPS worked great. Then a couple of days ago flashed the new Phoenix Rising 2.0 and the BT voice dial now works on it. GPS is pretty much the same as b8, but it has a big battery drain problem. It keeps losing 7-8%/hour even when sitting completely idle. So thinking of flashing the Cog back (even though it means losing BT voice dial convenience). Now I see a new version of Cog is on the way. Any estimates on when it will be available? Will it fix the BT voice dial issue by any chance? If it is more than a week away, I'll just flash b8 for now.

thanks for all the great work....All said and done, Cognition still seems to be the best ROM for captivate...
[Captivate Android Development] istitch:
I guess I am lazy that way... I simply set my timeout to 15 secs :)

What irks me the most is when people don't even realize that the firmware they installed screwed up their proximity sensors and the screen is on all the time they are on a voice call. (Mostly applies to iPhone owners though)

I did notice one thing with Juice Plotter though... Phone consumes way less power when I am connected to WiFi compared to when its on AT&T Data.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I found the same thing. I get way better battery when on WiFi all day. I am using Y5 Battery now to manage WiFi status and my location.
[Captivate Android Development] istitch:
Cool. Thanks for the information about Y5 Battery!

Now I do not have to mess with WiFi at known locations :D
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:

Is the brightness swipe something that be added?
[Captivate Android Development] erbaker67:
Hey Guys, thanks for all the info on this Im stuck trying to install cognition, im doing this by the book and using the videos on youtube posted by mobile tech videos. for whatever reason odin3 is not recognizing my phone, my phone is in download mode and is plugged in via usb but odin3 cant start anything since it doesnt recognize the phone. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Did you make sure the drivers are loaded for download mode?

Also are you coming from stock? I just used ROM Manager and didn't use Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] erbaker67:
Yea I have the drivers loaded and have Rom Manager might as well use that. Im still confused with this stuff. Thank you wgarrido.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
I'm Back!

Well, I tried the numerous i9000 ROMs in circulation and thought that some of them were very good except for one major problem: they cause my phone to randomly lose connection to the AT&T network.

So, after getting tired of having to reboot my phone every few hours to restore my connection, I've decided to come back to the best Captivate ROM currently available.

One feature that I got spoiled with on the i9000 ROMs is the lock screen selector.

Is it possible to add that feature to Cognition?
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
Yes. A couple of us have just posted on this as well. This is especially needed for Cognition (the most stable reliable ROM) :)
[Captivate Android Development] gordec:
2nd that. The stock cappy lock screen is sweet plus the music player lockscreen widget. If someone can make an update.zip that will work with the 2.3b8 will be great also for us android noobs.
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
Hopefully this is something that can be easily done with an update.zip. It seems like every rom these days has the multilock screen mod. I need it :P
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Multi-Lock is coming to Cognition v3.0, I won't be backporting tho. :)
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I just noticed that the screen isn't turning off while in a call. Is there a setting for that?

EDIT: Made another call and it worked hmm, must be sensitive.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Yeah, my proximity sensor has always been a little flaky too. Sometimes it's perfect, sometimes the screen just keeps turning off and on during a call. Sometimes cleaning that area by the speaker helps a little.

I can't really tell if it changes with ROMS or not though to tell you the truth. It's always unpredictable.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Really looking forward to Cog 3....if for no other reason than to have something else to flash! Still pisses me off I can't successfully run i9000 ROMS. Can't wait until there's an official Froyo for the captivate and DG has access to the full source.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
It was great on the Stock ROM, I just flashed 2 days ago.

I just went from beta 6 to phoenix and perception. Both i9000 roms drained my battery in like 3-4 hours even with different modems and kernels. Back on Cog b8 and man... i should never have left cog.

Just wondering is there a theme that works with beta 8? can't find any that's specifically for beta 8.

and would the modded camera.apk that's on the phoenix and perception that takes pics with the power button work if i changed it and put it in beta 8?

Thanks! love Cognition!

new kernel?

To try to enable full HSDPA support it was suggested I flash CogKernel4 and an i9000 modem to match it.

Will this (flashing a new kernel) cause me to have to reinstall programs or data or not?

Asking here b/c I'm running Cog2.3b8 right now and getting slow 3G speeds. This was suggested as something to help that.

Any input welcomed! Thanks in advance!
