See ya! lol

I had horrible battery life after each flash... I always flash with 100% charge, wipe batterystats and recalibrate once a day for a few days. After a week, it is good for me. I am still on 2.3b3 though so not sure if there is anything new with the latest. But follow those guidelines and report back after a few days.

Compared to cognition 2.1.6 this latest rom is killing my battery. Everything else is good though

SIM not recognized

Had this issue before and had to reflash...

Today I put the phone into Recovery using the shut down page to reset and recalibrate the battery and out of recovery the SIM card was not working. I rebooted and it booted past the SIM unlock code...Rebooted again... This time it did give me the option to use the unlock code so the phone knew it was there took abot a minute to get netwok indications....

Just something to keep an eye on.

BTW check your 3 button recovery. Mine did not work..went into recovery from Phone shutdown screen) recovery is strange on the phone as well. Seems it roots or installs CW every time

I posted originally about How Good my GPS was with this b6 rom but I couldn't leave well enough alone. I checked the settings and found it still showed the spirent (or whatever it is named) so I changed it to the supl.google.com Well after that my gps went back to what was normal locking onto 4-5 sats but taking a LONG TIME. This post is not so much about the gps though. Just sharing with you the issue I had after changing it and resetting the gps stats.

The MAIN reason I am posting though is to recommend that ONCE you have your rom set up the way you like it use rom manager and make a backup of current rom. I had put b6 on, added Darkness theme and circle battery, added slice and dice boot animation, had all my programs,widgets,everything. Everything was working great so I backed it up. Well after I tried messing with the gps settings and scewed the pooch. I went back into rom manager and restored backup. I was SUPER HAPPY that all settings restored perfectly, including the gps back to awesomeness. I had also put on a different boot animation that was ok, well it got restored back to the slice and dice one also. So the point is ONCE it is setup and working great make a backup with rom manager in case anything happens. I thought for sure I was gonna have to redo settings and all my apps.

DG a Big Thanks again. This rom.is the best so far. I only have had issues with 2 roms but those were just battery eating machines but worked great. I cant wait until a REAL froyo release to see how you fix it. Thanks man...

Not going to lie, my battery life is at least as good as 2.1.7 after 24hrs of heavy use, maybe better! I live in New Mexico, not really recognized for the densest coverage so Im switching towers and "searching" quite often..:D

Also: Kudos to "richhed" for walking me through some problems I had with Eclair!

Access Service Mode to toggle 2G/3G

beta6 doesn't have the toggle like in the cog vibrant build; and typing in the code each time to manually acces service mode is a pain. This is even a little quicker than making a contact and using dialer.

All it does is opens Service Mode then displays a message so you can remember the screens to enable 2g or 3g. It's still a pain, but a little easier.

Everything is working absolutely great on the latest cog. release. Never really had much of a problem before. Contact are syncing, GPS locked in in about 2 seconds. Fastest I've ever seen.

Just on simple caveat: Add carhome.apk. Thanks!!!
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
If your contacts aren't working right, did you selectively restore only some system data with TiB? If so, was one if the things you restored your contacts storage? Or alternatively, did you set up your google account manually, and then restore everything or just your contact data? Either of those situations seems to cause contacts problems.

Either restore everything before manually setting up any accounts, or after manually setting up accounts, restore only some system data and definitely leave out contacts and accounts.

ok another noob question. In order to use the cog rom, I need to be running Froyo(2.2) correct. So I would need to update to 2.2 from 2.1 before flashing the cog rom? Or can I just flash the rom and 2.2 is included? I'm on JH7(2.1) right now. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] killaray:
im not entirely sure wut ur asking here.. i dont use TiB.... im guessing thats titanium back up.. ive done a complete wipe of the phone and dalvik cache wipe and nada works... the sync draws maybe 25% off either gmail acct and stays stuck
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No you fo not need to flash 2.2 to use this. This will give you 2.2. Just follow instructions to flash

You need to read the FAQ on the 1st page by the OP on how to install cog.
[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
Umm, DesignGears, mind not titling your thread the "fastest captivate rom". "Safest" I can definitely agree with, but it's not the fastest.

Try a i9000 rom/kernel/radio combo w/ the Universal Lagfix and Overclock. Tell me how fast that is... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
well, when that is a captivate kernel and rom i will agree.

ULF is inferior to the new voodoo... /system /data /cache /dbdata are all ext4 in voodoo

Getting a speed boost while overclocking and possibly ruining your phone, losing bt and losing wired headset support...

no thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
lol. im using this rom with a i9000 kernel/rom/universal lagfix/overclock :]

Pretty fast :]

@DG

The Voodoo in ULF can do that as well. Its the no-rfs advanced ext 4. I am actually using that right now. no more JFS for me cuz it corrupted my data lol.

Okay, quick quesion... i'm not sure if this is a bug, or not, so please accept my apologies if this is not related to this rom...

Hey DG I use a completly unstable foreign rom, kernal, modem combo,that didables key functions of my phone. Lost all my data a week ago because my battery ran to zero. I have to over clock in order to get great speed, turning my phone into a paper weight well before it's time, but my angry birds app opens there tenths of a second faster.

How dare you call your rom the fastest captivate rom!
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
Actually the ULF doesn't convert /system to ext4, so the newest Voodoo is superior to ULF.

What part of "captivate rom" do people not understand? Yeah an I9000 ROM/kernel may be faster especially with OC, and the RAM increase, but than it's not really a "captivate" rom/kernel anymore...

I'm not saying I even use Cognition, but posting stuff like this is unnecessary, especially when everyone has their own preferences for kernel/rom/themes, etc.

I had a quick question about my flashing method...wanted to make sure it's correct:

1. Disable Lag fix

2. Flash to Stock

3. Master Clear

4. Root and install CWM, flash recovery

5. Clear cache/dalvik cache with CWM, then reboot

6. Move Rom zip to SD card

7. Flash Rom with data/cache wipe

8. Install CWM again and flash recovery

9. Backup after I have my rom like I want it.

Hey guys,

It's 2pm and I've gotten 1 dropped call already. Is anyone else experiencing greater than usual amounts of dropped calls? Anyone have any recommendation on fixes? Tests?

As with the previous version of Cognition, the rejected call list doesn't work for me. I'll have the option to add and remove someone, but the phone will always ring regardless (telemarketers). Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
3 button combo is for recovery mode.

for dload mode you remove bat, sim, ext sd, then hold vol+ & vol- and plug in usb cable to computer

You can also get into dload mode with adb reboot download (I used to have to do that when my 1st cappy didn't go into dload mode by any method, then I bricked it and couldn't get it to ever work again - since it wouldn't go into dload mode [supposedly it was part of a batch of bad cappies])

So if your phone doesn't go into dload mode.... be careful.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Calls dropped is you signal/area coverage, nothing in the RIL has changed.

When Froyo drops officially lots of issues will be fixed, but I hear that won't be until next year now.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have a mac as well. Knock on wood never had any issues. Just make sure you disable any lagfix. Take sim and external sd out. Clear data and cache
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:

put them on your contact list and give them a silent ringtone. Would be cool if there was a way to play them a message when they call (I could do that on my old Nokia s60v3) which would play the "doo-doo-doot We're sorry but the number you have reached is no longer in service" Telemarketters have a system when it hears the doo-doo-doot it removes your number from their calling list. heheh

Battery Use Stat

This is not a post about battery life.

I have a question about the Battery Use statistics, I have been unplugged since last night around 8 or 9 yet the Battery Use app says I have been unplugged for 7 hours. This has been the case on the last couple of Cog ROMs I have used. Its not a huge problem, so if there is no fix, I don't mind at all. However, I am curious, how/why is this happening and are there any fixes?

Is the reason I have such good battery life because the phone "thinks" its been unplugged for 7 hours instead of 20?
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Cool. I wans't sure if it it was a carrier or firmware issue. 2.2 for Rogers should be January. Hopefully anyways. Those guys have their heads so far up their @$$es.

[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey! The silent ringtone is a pretty good idea! I'd definitely prefer the option of adding them onto the reject list. It was a cool function.

With the Captivate, you can reject a call playing a customized voice message. Can't you? Wouldn't you be able to reject the call with your "doo doo doo" message?

Thanks again for the reply!
[Captivate Android Development] Dr. Bogger:
Have you re-booted the phone at all? if you reboot, it will reset the stats
[Captivate Android Development] mfdoomesq:

Fcfcfcfcfcfcfcfc lol

Wow,,,I booted the phone up trying once again to get the phone to see the SIM....and everything foirce closed for no apparent reason

Then becasue I am away from home I tried in recovery mode to reload a stock JH7OTA ROM and reflash ....hanging up on ATT screen likely because of Voodoo...

I have flashed every Froyo Rom and never had a single issue....until now

First it would not see the SIM card....ok reflash from stock first time I ever had to reflash a ROM but ok I will try it again

Then it would "sometimes" not see the SIM card...until a reboot,,,reflash...same issue...

Recovery now just keeps booting to the 1st recovery screen after deleting all user and data ....So here I am a few hours away from my PC wirth nothing but the ATT flash screen LOL

I am not sure about this ROM...In my case only this has been so far the fastest and the flakiest ROM I have flashed and i always flash from Stock and Master clear... Too bad because everything worked as it should when it was working. No other ROM has left me with a dead phone away from home..

MAy give it one more flash but that will be three from stock....ouch...Not good.

Review / Question / Question

Hey guys three things:

1: I've been running 2.3b6 for a day now, flashed from 2.4 through rom manager. So far: No fc issues, no data issues, great battery, great speed. No issues at all yet actually, only enjoyment! Very happy, DG has done it again... I have said this before, but this will probably be my last ROM flash until gingerbread.

DG: Everyone has different preferences, and installing stock android keyboard is easy even for a noob like me, but I personally would have rather had stock keyboard than Samsung. krips2003 made a post several pages back explaining how to install stock android keyboard, thanks dude!

2. I might post this is the q&a forum, but I thought maybe it would be better here because I have only ever flashed cognition roms, and if I'm lucky DG will see this post.

I went from stock to the JH7 update to cognition 2.3b to 2.3b1 to 2.4 and now 2.3b6. I have never used Odin or master clear (I'm using a mac), although I always use the clear everything option in rom manager, and clear dalvich (sp?) in clockwork.

Anyway, every time I plug my cappy into my macbook, a window pops up and says that it detects garbage on my captivate, and offers to delete the garbage. The program is a mac program (called "mac cleaner" or "clean my mac" or something, it's 3rd party) so I doubt it knows what is essential and what is in fact garbage, so I always say know (EDIT: "no"), but I could be wrong. I mean, I figure there probably is garbage on my cappy at this point, but are "garbage" files universally detected or is it specific to an OS / ROM / etc?

3. Last but not least: I searched this but got search overload, is there a way to take image files and move them into whatever folder is used for "Wallpapers" so I can just click wallpapers --> wallpapers (the folder that has the default cognition wallpaper) and select my picture from there, and also maybe delete some of the preinstalled wallpapers DG provided? I looked around in astro for a good hour but couldn't find anything... I think if I can just find the folder that houses the preinstalled cognition wallpapers it should be really easy to move more in there, unless it doesn't work that way.

Thanks :)

Good job DG - I would send you beer money but I just did last week for 2.4... sorry, I'm poor right now :(
