[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
LauncherPro has been known to crash even stock on reboot, so I would guess that is probably an app issue.

SMS issue/contact issue is odd, I have heard of it happening a lot, never happens to me tho. I nothing to look at to see the issue :)

I swapped out the phone.apk and phone_util.apk so we have a 2g/3g toggle, but that is going away because it causes odd issues and other stuff that is now missing that I liked. I will pre-install an app/widget for 2g/3g switching...

Finally, yes, live wallpapers are battery drainers... I do not use them, but I have put the selector back in for the next version, but they will have to download live wallpapers if they want them.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
Howdy folks. I'm running 2.3b4 on my newly replaced Cappy and am running into an issue. My Wifi occasionally shuts down on me and won't allow me to re-enable it through the notification pane. When I head over to settings, underneath the word Wi-Fi (where it usually says "Turn on Wi-Fi") it has the word "Error" greyed out. It usually won't re-activate and I need to go into airplane mode and back out to be able to reactivate it. Anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
This is great. I know live wallpapers are battery drainers but I like them. Thanks.

May I request you add Android Keyboard as well? I know they are easily added and I have done so already, but will be good to have them included.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
We should ask the mods to add quadrant to the dirty word list so that it censored automatically. :]
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
If you use titbu just make sure you back it up. No need to add it back then.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I added then to system.app. Its no big deal, I will lookup the apk and install it this time.
[Captivate Android Development] doomah69:
hey guys i am using 2.3b4 right now and i was just wondering where i can get the old keyboards we had with the last one (vibrant one) and the fonts(ones i don't have to pay for) i hate the swipe keyboard. tks for help
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
You know, it is interesting, it definitely seems they should be battery drainers.

What I don't understand about my phone, is that the live wallpaper I am using is seldom on the list, let alone high on the list, of what is using battery.

But that being said, what is even stranger, is that I can check my phone in the morning after leaving it unplugged at 100% going to bed, it will have used 30%, and 92 % was used by display. You recon display is actually the live wallpaper? (I have seen the live wallpaper on the list thought).

Of course one other thing on my live wallpaper: it is Live Weather, so it has very little movment, so probably doesn't require as much battery as some of the others. Maybe that's why I don't see it on the liist.

But I really don't know what to think about 92% display when theoretically the phone is in standby all night.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I have looked over many, Many boards today and am left with an impression that I should be able to go to Cognition 2.3b4 with ODIN, but not a One Touch ODIN.

I DLed Standalone ODIN and went to where the ROM file was downloadable. But when I go on in the process it is obvious I should be seeing a PIT.pit file and others to populate into the different areas of the ODIN interface... I can't find them in the download I have so far.

I have gone looking for these files or a zipped grouping of them, but no luck.

I think I am missing something simple in how this process should go.

Please help?

PS. I opted to NOT go with the ClockWorkMod route as it talks about only doing it if you have a previous version. The last time I did anything to the phone I did the leaked Froyo 2.2 ODIN One Click. That leaves me unsure if I meet the minimum requirements for the ClockWorkMod option. (Plus I don't have root.)

Thanx in advance for the help.

zeddock
[Captivate Android Development] sschrupp:
It's my understanding that you need to use ClockWorkMod. You don't need to be on a previous Cog version to do that.

The "better to be safe than sorry" method is to first go back to stock using the Odin one click to stock, then root, then install ClockWorkMod, flash ClockWorkMod, put CognitionWhatever.zip on internal SD, open ClockWorkMod and select "Install ROM from SD".

Many people just do the CWM step and don't worry about stock. I don't like mysterious problems though so I go back to a fresh base.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I would flash to JF6 stock ROM using ODIN and then use CWM to flash this ROM.

HOW TO: Flash To JF6 Stock

Install Using Clockwork Recovery

See post #3 for details.

[Captivate Android Development] tomcase7:
I agree completely, though I'm probably in the minority.

I'm running 2.4 right now and have no problems. My phone is a Rogers Samsung Captivate SGH-I896, though. My GPS locks and tracks with almost no problems whatsoever. I woke up at 6:30AM this morning, it is 4:31PM right now and my battery is at ... 93%. So I couldn't agree more with your assessment.

I think many people expect exceptional battery life out of their phones and are completely unaware that they can conserve battery life by making sure apps aren't running when the screen is off. Also, remembering to toggle your WiFi/GPS/Syncing etc. off when you aren't using it really helps too.

I find many people (without pointing fingers) walk around with their apps running and constantly syncing in the background, they leave their WiFi on, they leave their GPS on, they leave their 3G data on (even when they have no intention of using it), and whine about poor battery life when they rush home to desperately charge their phones before it dies.

Anyway, just my few comments on this and the (previous?) 2.4 version of Cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
If I am not mistaken, He is not rooted and is using leaked Froyo 2.2 which does not allow install of CWM. He need to flash to stock like I said.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I got this from NorCal Einstein on another thread...

Cognition 2.3 Beta4 IS NOT ODIN FLASHABLE. Unless designgears releases a ODIN version to use with the stand-alone, you are not going to have success trying to use the CWM file with ODIN.

You don't have to flash via CWM while you are on Cognition, that's a mis-understanding. Personally, I flash my phone back to stock (JH6), and then use CWM to flash to Cognition. I don't know what you mean by minimum requirements for CWM option either...you have a Captivate right?...it works right?...you can run ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone.

Bottom line: At this time, 2.3 Beta4 CANNOT be flashed using ODIN.

Swype keyboard isn't so bad.

I just wish it had the following:

1. Popup characters when you're typing and not swyping.

2. A ".com" key.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
1 hold down character for 3 seconds

2 swype from period to c, o, and m. Swype .com by itself.

[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Not really sure what's up with this ROM but it somehow plays some random **** for ringtones for no apparent reason. On 2.4.1 I had set a custom ringtone for my best friend and for my g/f so I knew it was them. My g/f's worked just fine but my friends always made the click sound that the app ShootMe makes when taking a screenshot and I never did figure that one out.

Now I am on the current build and my g/f just text me and it started playing an MP3 that I have on the sdcard...

WTF?
[Captivate Android Development] avengeryarr:
I belive he means how a bigger version of the letter pops up when you press it like on stock and samsung keyboard
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
By popup characters I mean confirmation of what you are typing as you type like the standard keyboards (Samsung or Android) do.

I have fat fingers and can't always tell if I just hit the key wanted on the Swype keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

After copying the 2 files needed to get the android keyboard back I keep getting FC's when trying to use that keyboard...do I need to set special permissions on those 2 files or what am I doing wrong? I simply copy and pasted them from the sdcard to the system/lib and system/app folders
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:

[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:

[Captivate Android Development] VinCe_x542:
I see that there are some changes coming up

v2.3b4 - v2.3b5 (11/?/2010)

Changes:

Android_id gernerator fixed (thanks to loserskater)

Added live wallpaper picker

Added Samsung keyboard and supporting libs

Added Launcher2 (2.2 Stock)

Added Tap Lock (2.2 Stock)

Removed Touchwiz Launcher (done with tw lag)

Removed Glass Lock (quick silence is more important then music)

My only question is With the with the Glass lock removed does Launcher2 lock screen have a music plater on it ? so I don't to keep unlocking the phone just to change the song ?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
ok, the permissions

AxT9IME.apk and LatinIME.apk and both .so files are rw-r--r--
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
2.3b4 was fine for a day.. suddenly my phone was having a hard time responding to me and answering a phone call was impossible. I later had a crash and after rebooting, all my settings were gone and all my apps were fc'ing.

Can't dial voicemail (VM not indicator)

No one ever leaves me voicemail, so it's taken me this long to notice that I can't call to retrieve my voicemail. Neither through the pull down nor speed dial from the phone. It claims to dial, then I get no connect, no ring tone and no timeout (that I've had the patience to wait for).

Anyone else have that problem? Searching the thread only turned up problems with the VM indicator, which I clearly don't have an issue with.

Cog 2.3b4.
[Captivate Android Development] zrx12mike:
I am able to call voice mail without issue.
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
Thanks for the confirmation.

I found one post about Google Voice and they mentioned a code, ##004#. I used it and it told me conditional forwarding was erased and now I can get my VM. I had been wondering what the "Conditional call forwarding enabled" message was whenever I answered a call.

So, working for me, maybe this will help someone else.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
It does not. DG is making the move to Tap Lock with the assumption that being able to silence your phone quickly is more important than having music on the lock screen to most people. If you are not one of those people then you should either not flash 2.3b5 (if this makes it to the release) or figure out how to get glass back.

No Network Connection?

Since going to V2.3b4 my browser will give me an error saying "No Network Connection" when trying to access a website. I just hit ok and it still goes to the site but its annoying having it pop up every time I go to a site. I tried to reset the setting on the browser and still nothing. Anyone have any help for this?
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
I'm all for it. Glass Lock really does suck as well as TW. Leaving both to Android Stock is a very nice idea - change to stock lock was the first thing I did after installing 2.3b4.

Messages being read aloud

I have Cog v2.4.1. While on a call if I get a text message, the phone loudly reads the entire thing to me and it interrupts the call. Is there anyway to disable this. I looked around in settings and can't find anything that resembles something that might disable this.
[Captivate Android Development] cqbaby:
I have update the rom from 2.4.1 to 2.3b4,everything is ok except the live wallpaper picker.When I long click the desktop,slect wallpaper ,but the live wallpaper does not appear in the menu.Why?

Did you read the wiKI? The CHANGELOG?

Did you do a seach of this thread?

READ THE THREAD I don't understand how people can install ROMS on their devices and not know what they are installing or NOT installing? Most of the questions that muck up the thread have been answered at least 10 times each!! .

You can install your live wallpapers and Wall paper picker apk yourself if you want them.

There is a reason I have ALL the ROMS I downloaded saved to my HD....Sometimes you have to go back and get apks and install them in new ROMS that DG left out for his own reasons.

As far as the 2.3b4 ROM goes. I was not going to flash it.....(but I am addicted)

I have been amazed at how much battery life this ROM has deleivered. I really did not think it would be all that different. But I am at 82% AFTER 6 HOURS! Now that may be ususal for most but I have always been at 50% after 6 hours. All my socail apps and email sync at the minimum times, I am running Beautiful Widgets live wallpaper and on wifi 90% of the time.

I slipped the wallpaper, and all the apps I wanted plus the Bootanimation I love ( (android pissing on the apple) into the ROM before burning.

This version is so good I decided to upgrade the wife's Cappy from 5.5. I was waiting for the official release for her but this is a good ROM. 2.4 was good as well but she needed VMX notifications. I use Google Voice so VMX is not important.

(BTW GPS took a few minutes and a few miles to lock as ususal but stayed there all the way) no different there. Samoetimes it worksgreat other times not so much...But it always gets me there in a pinch.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
Can someone post a link to the media hub froyo apk? DG's removed apps link isn't working.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I will be linking that back up shortly
[Captivate Android Development] richhed:
markpaiz,

I too liked the 2.1.7 unhelpful build and until ROM manager/Clockwork Recovery were compatible with voodoo and a workaround for the new recovery was discovered and built in to the ROM, I too stuck with 2.1.7.

The solution is:

1) Start either Connectbot, Terminal Emulator, or whatever you use to input shell commands via a command line

2) Run the following commands:

su

busybox nohup /system/bin wlp2pservice &

Note that if you install the latest version of SGS Tools you can also just create a shortcut on your home screen that will execute any command for you, that'd probably be easiest for you if you plan on keeping that ROM installed... If you do go with the shortcut method, just run the second line and check the "execute command(s) as su" at the bottom. PM me or email if you have any issues, so as not to fill this thread with any MORE off-topic posts (I'm pointing at YOU, GPS posts!!!).

Hope it helps

Call me cheap

Call me cheap, but is there a way of getting APKs into the system/app folder without buying Root Explorer? Perhaps a free app, or even how to do so with the Android SDK? Seems a pity to spend even a little money for a relatively trivial activity....

Quick Question

I just read the change log for the new version 2.3b5 and it says

"Removed Glass Lock"

By that does it mean that little click sound I hear everytime I lock or something else? I mean I'm a little confused because it says something about quick silence being more important than music...

Anyway... If by that DG means the click sound which I kinda like lol... Could I re-enable it if I wanted to?

[Captivate Android Development] richhed:
Put file on sdcard

Install android APK, start adb shell,

su

copy /mnt/sdcard/(file_name_here).apk /system/app

BUT, FYI I also almost NEVER advocate buying software... Root Explorer, ROM Manager Premium, and Titanium Backup PRO, however, are three apps WORTH EVERY CENT. Plus they are (from what I understand) all independent devs, so you're paying a person that spent (and spends) weeks writing this app themselves, not some huge corporation... Trust me even though there are other ways Root Explorer is worth the $5
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
the click sound is the lock sound that is in settings -> sounds. the "glass lock" is the default lock screen for the captivate devices. it is the one that has the clock on the bottom of the screen and you can click and drag in any direction to unlock. it is also the one that has the missing puzzle piece for when you have a missed call. he replaced this "glass lock screen" with the stock android lock screen....which has a green circle on the left that you drag to the right to unlock and an orange circle on the right that you drag left to turn sounds on/off.

this is typically the first thing i replace on my phone on any rom that comes with the glass lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
There ya go...

I was playing with the stock lock today and decided having sound options on the lock screen was way more functional then music controls. (for me)

Messages being read aloud

Hope this help someone else:

Previously during calls my text received during the call were read aloud (while on speaker the caller could here them) but I got this worked out finally. I went through and changed every setting individually and had someone call and text me at the same time. I finally found out it was

SETTINGS->CALL SETTINGS->ALL CALLS->ALERTS ON CALL->

Mine was set to vibrate so that is would vibrate and ring when a call came in. Once I set it back to the default of SOUND it stopped reading my texts and just made a tone like it should.

Thanks for everyone's help, it lead me to finding the answer.

[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
Hey DG-

Since you have decided to go with the Tap lock, can we get the AOSP Mms.apk in b5+? The reason I said since you use tap is AOSP doesnt have the option for the puzzle peices.

Anywho, I pushed it into b4 and love the thing. Main reasons: it allows different vibration options for the notification and black/white background rendering. I am sure you are aware the options i just wanted to post for others. The vibrating thing is a show stopper for me as I always have my phone on vibe at work and like to know when I get those oh so important sexts errr I mean texts ;)

Also had a lot of luck with the AOSP email.apk. I personally dont like the other with the folders across the top. I like the option to click "folders" and choose my folder in a large list (similar to the iPhone) as I have a bunch of sub folders on my exchange account. Not sure if thats an AOSP or if it's really even 2.1's email client. I yanked it out of your old AOSP build..
[Captivate Android Development] captidroid:
was your calendar able to sync via the exchange server on your phone? I like that email app too, but my exchange calendar wouldn't sync until the 2.4 roms were released.
