I use a Motorola T505 (available around $50-60). My phone plays over blue tooth to it, and it plays to my FM Radio in the car. Works great. Battery on it lasts a LONG time too.

Although I'm not on the current ROM, it has worked with each COG I've tried.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Agreed. I think this is the best Rom yet.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, I am trying to get the two samsung and android keyboards installed. Yes I have read the instructions posted here and Im getting FC's.

1) extracted AxT9ime.apk and LatinIME.apk from 2.3 beta 3 and copied to my external sd card.

2) Copied from external sd card via root explorer to /system/app

3) Click each, try to install

4) It tells me its a system application and asks if I still want to replace it.

5) I click OK, then click install and it fails to install.

The only message it gives me is Application not installed. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
Don't try to install, copy, then reboot
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Apparently you missed something which was included in the instructions
[Captivate Android Development] mfdoomesq:
Did the problem pursist after reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
That is what I did first, still FC'd. I read in a later post to try to install which obviously failed too.

I will try to copy from a different version of Cognition. I am using winzip to extract the files, perhaps it is doing something with the apk files too but I doubt it. If anyone has other ideas, let me know. The stock keyboard sucks and this should be a simple fix.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yeah I went back for now..I had the notification pull down bar stuck a couple of times and a few other nags.....I am sure a reflash would have solved it but I had no issues with 2.4 so I flased back to that and will stick with it awhile since I "customized" the ROM with the [pissing on Apple BootAnimi LOL and a few other apks that fixed VMX notifcations
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Plus if you save your old ROMS you can cheery pick apps from them, unzip the ROM you want to use, place the apks in the System/App directory and rezip and install the ROM.The Bootanimation can be changed there as well.
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
Great version, except I can't get gmail to vibrate on receipt of an email to inbox and all the system settings are right... sms works. Is this an issue with the latest froyo?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
If you are on 2.4.x with the apks to fix VMX notifications, avoid the Settings>Call Settings menu.

I tried a couple of things in there while on 2.4.1, and got continuous FC's on com.android.phone, even after the settings had been returned to defaults. I would guess that the combination of the Vibrant ROM and the Captivate phone apks is the cause of my difficulties. Maybe something isn't completely compatible in there. I had to reflash the phone to get it working again, so I went back to the 2.3b ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] Argastes:
Minor bug report: The YouTube app keeps FC'ing on both Captivates I have installed v2.3b4 on. Replacing the .apk with the one from v2.3b3 fixes it.

Yep. I actually did it with the side loading "wonder machine" while on stock ji6. No root needed.

The only thing that is holding me back is that, silly as it sounds, my GPS is working almost perfectly right now for the first time ever. I am afraid to even touch the thing. It's like a GPS house of cards.

Battery Drainage, Apps from the Living dead?

I am still on BETA2 about to flash to BETA5.5 so I am way out of the loop but I just wanted to say that I had problems with Memory and Battery Drainage.

The battery would go down very quickly compared to the Stock 2.2 ROM.

Many APPs would keep returning to life after I killed them such as Google Talk and some things even though I was only Texting and that was it, even had Background data turned off.

I am very OC with my device so I like to control everything.

Another note, I couldn't install OCLF on my device.

Here to hoping 5.5 is nothing but sunshine =]

Question: I am going to do the ODIN Flash since I have no idea about Kernel swapping, but, is a master clear recommended?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Installed beta 5 and it is quite laggy without OCLF for me. It might be Launcher Pro and/or Touchdown 2.0. 3x faster with the lagfix.

[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Works great but you will have to use a i19000 modem and you will loose bt and gain hsupa upload speed. You will loose boot animation to on the last three cog releases. Havnt figured out why and don't know if it can be fixed. It is fast as hell on 2.3.4 I use ext4 x 3 ext 2 x 3 and false on last one for lag fix. Make sure you read everything before trying it.

Also don't expect help in the setiron thread they will eat you alive lol.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Setiron

I interest in the Setiron kernel, but from what I hear repeatedly, the BT does not work well with it. That's more important to me than the chastised GPS.

Market

How is market working for everyone? It worked great for me on the 2.3b2 after I did the very clean install. But its back to very frustrating multiple attempts to download and install. Clearing the market cache doesn't help very much or for very long.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:

[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
This has been stated numerous times throughout this thread and on the forum. The android keyboard does not have haptic feedback in Froyo. This is a known bug. If you want a keyboard that looks like the stock android keyboard with working haptic feedback you can download Vlingo from the market.

[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the last 30 or so pages that I went through. Has anyone else found that their 'home' button doesn't work on 2.3b3 or b4? I flashed up to it last night and everything worked beautifully except that one button, which was kind of a big deal.

[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Had tried a different ROM out before I cleared the phone and re-flashed to DG's latest and greatest. Albeit it was an ALPHA Rom... and it looked fantastic. But then the issues started, battery life, forced closes, and finally the phone totally tanked boot looping while I was driving home.

Boy... was I glad to flash back to Cognition. Running 2.3b4 and all seems right with the world. Battery life is fine. None of the bugs other people are reporting.

And although I miss the Android keyboard - I can re-add it easily enough.

And.. for the first time in a month I've actually seen GPS start getting locks in under 30 seconds. It's back to its usual "working" state.

Great job as usual DG :) Can't wait until the OTA finally gets released to see what you can really do with this ROM.

Um... can I add a suggestion? If your feeling reall ambitious I would really love to see an option for custom lock screens so we can choose what we want.
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
Funny thing about this... the opposite is also true. If you have a headset paired, but you initiate voice dialer from the handset instead of from the headset, then you can voice dial by speaking into the headset.

So:

1) Without a bluetooth headset paired, I can activate voice dialer on the handset by touching the app icon, and then successfully speak into the handset to place a call.

2) With a bluetooth headset paired, I can press the action button on my headset, and voice dialer will open on the phone. A voice answers in my headset and says "speak now." However, it picks up nothing that I say into the headset or handset, and just repeats "try again" into the headset over and over until I hit back or home on the handset.

3) With a bluetooth headset paried, I can also activate voice dialer via the handset as in #1. No voice speaks to me, however I can successfully speak into the headset to place a call. I tested this carefully by holding the handset far away from me and turned my head the other way, pressed the link to the voice dialler app, and then spoke softly into the headset. Still worked great.

So every piece of the puzzle works, just not together at once. It seems like we're so close to having bluetooth voice dialing here. I wonder why pressing the action button on the bluetooth doesn't just do the same thing the app does when you tap it. Then it would work.

Note: For some, the action button is a long press of the answer/hangup button. For me, it's a long press of both the answer/hangup and the mute/volume button (kind of annoying). Also, talking about 2.4.1 here.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
I got that far as well.

After that though, it tries to sync and then my log is 5 pages of failures

I do sync with google and soocial (for outlook), but, neither syncs the PHONE address book

Guys, I'm having a problem with the proximity sensor being disabled completely when in a phone call and the phone is in a horizontal position. This renders it useless for phone calls, because when I have it between my shoulder and cheek, it results in random button pushes. It's the same issue as here:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1916

I also used the code *#*#0588#*#* – Proximity sensor test, and verified that the proximity sensor is indeed working fine, even with the phone being horizontal. It's just that it doesn't work when in a phone call.

Are you guys aware of any problems with Cog ROMs and the proximity sensor? Also, if it helps, I'm running Cog v2.2beta 9.1.3. If I upgrade to the latest version, will this issue be fixed?

I'd appreciate any help and assistance with this; it's driving me mad. Thanks!

Outlook email syncs fine, just not the calendar. Any options that you guys can think of? Its not critical that I have it but would be really helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
quick instructions

You need to root your phone first.

1. Root here.

2. Once rooted...install Titanium Backup, Astro File Manager and Rom Manager (search for them in the market).

3. Use TitBu to batch backup all your apps

4. Once that is completed. Download whatever Rom you want. I just download directly to my phone then use Astro Manager to move it to the INTERNAL SD Card. (/mnt/sdcard is what it should say in the top blue title bar in Astro Manager)

5. Once your Zip is in the correct folder (see step 4), close Astro Manager and open Rom Manager. (again, MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP YOUR APPS USING TITANIUM BACKUP, I'm also ASSuming you sync your contacts/email/pictures with Google...if not, back those up too).

6. In the Rom Manager screen....click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Once that is done, click "Install ROM from SD Card". Your phone will reboot.

7. Once the phone reboots into the menu with choices, use the volume down button to choose install update...or whatever it says...going off memory here but you'll be able to tell which one to choose.

8. Once you do that...the Rom will install...takes about 5 - 7 minutes or so. Bam...you're done.

9. Go download Titanium Back up again, re-install your apps, tweak whatever you want. I usually download Quadrant to check the score for reference (to make sure the lagfix installed since I don't disable it) and I also check the version of the phone to make sure it's the correct ROM.

That's it.

Some people say to flash back to stock using Odin here. Obviously up to you but I've never had any issues doing it the way I described.

Oh, and if you use Odin...make sure you install the correct USB drivers listed on that page...

Good luck.

Is there a way to move the file directly to that folder while plugged into a pc?
