I have tried a few i9000 roms, a few older versions of Cog... and there were huge differences in GPS performance... that is why I am back on JH7.

I am sure most can tell you the rom, kernel have alot to do with it.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
Some fc reflections

Is there a better place to post crashes? Things seem much better with this new ROM 3.2.1, BUT I still is fc occasionally:

1. Under Kindle when exiting from reading - just hit home and moderately often, Kindle crashes.

2. Twice now I have seen fc under Pandora - running Maps and Track at the same time, but don't believe those apps are directly related.

Hope this helps DG. Thanks so much for the HARD work.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I did juniper fix and d not enable wireless location and have better GPS then when I was on jh7. Not saying the same would happen for all just giving my experience.

Wondering what tweaks are coming our way with the pending version. Outside.of it no longer being a hybrid

[Captivate Android Development] Justinph5:
Just a question to note, but did anyone one else NOT have to change their Android ID after flashing to 2.4.1? I went from JI6 to stock to 2.4.1, and didn't have to change my Android ID, it stayed the same.

Just wondering since I noticed someone else still saying to change the Android ID after 2.4.1.

Hello,

anyone using Genie widget (News and Weather widget) on captivate? It was working fine on all 2.2b versions, but now its not working. It displays current temperature correctly but down not function as expected while displaying details.. if anyone has working widget can you please direct me to the source?? thank you
[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
Guys, keep this thread on topic, this is a final warning and further action will be taken if the flaming continues.

I understand GPS may not have been as good in 2.4.x compared to previous Cog versions, its probably related to the new base, but who knows. DG is working on another ROM for us anyway.

GPS works great for some people and not so great for others, even with the same settings. This is a known fact.

GPS-related talk belongs in one of the many GPS threads around here.
[Captivate Android Development] klloyd:
This last release was the best one so far! Gonna buy some beers for it! Battery is better, look is much better, and its just cool!

With that, the only thing id change is give a 360° rotation. It would be awsome to have my phone able to turn upside down since the plug is on tbe bottom. And keep all my stuff right side up.... 360° rotation seems doable.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:

I just used root explorer and it worked fine. Just copy it, go to tbe correct.folder and rename the old phone.apk to phone.apk.old, you will start getting force closes until you hit paste with the phone.apk from the older rom. Then do the same with the phone utility file. Super quick and easy fix. I did not even reboot when I got a vm notification.

Everything's great...

I've had this Cognition 2.4.1 for 3 days (since DG released it) and everything's great now... after recalibration I've got 15 hours of intensive use... it's simply amazing, I also changed Phone.apk and Phone_Utils.apk, I've pretty much tried everything everybody's suggested for the last 3 days lol... But now I want to apply the battery cirle mod and change boot animation, could anyone please confirm which threads have those things that would work for this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Any boot animation should work fine... put intimidated /system/media

[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Calibrate your phone battery. Check on page 862 of this thread for instruction. Also, it'll be a good idea to drain your battery completely and then recalibrate. Also, clear the battery stats using CWM recovery. It worked for me and I'm getting excellent result.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Gonna flash back to 2.3b3 which worked really well for me and actually exceeded my expectations. Seems like 2.4.1 just wasn't for me.
[Captivate Android Development] lost2030:
BATTERY Calibrate

You should see some results from doing the following:

1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

You should only need to use this sequence one time.

I have been searching for over an hour for the two files that return Voice Mail notifications. I got the missed calls notifier to work but cannot find the apk for VMX. Even google search did not lead me to the apk that controls that..

I deleted and copiied Phone.apk and Phone Utilities.apk from 2.3b and VMX notifer no good....missed calls showing up....I must be missing a third apk...
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Alright, enough posting about battery issues guys. There are plenty of other threads about battery drain and this isn't the place. Search the forums.

THERE IS NO SARCASM OR IRONY IN THIS POST AT ALL.

No matter which ROM version phone.apk I use I don't get VMX visual notification. I do get missed call icon (but no envelope with tape reel icon)

Another thing I noticed is I get a voice "new message arrived" on every boot when there are no VMX or any other unread messages...(right after the android pissing on Apple Bootanimation LOL)

. I have only installed phone.apk and phone_util.apk Is there another apk that needs installing from an older ROM?

I will likely use Google Voice from here on out but it would be nice to have this working as well in case i need to switch back.

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Are you making sure you have deactivated Google Voicemail? If you were using it before you swapped phone.apk, then you have to deactivate it before your phone will go back to the stock voicemail. You can also check your voicemail settings on your phone.

I'm back to 2.2b9.1.3 so I don't have the voicemail issue, but when I was on 2.4.1 I swapped the phone and phoneutil apk files and after selected My Carrier as my voicemail, it worked like a charm.

Couldn't find a clearcut answer using search...I'm about to flash from v2.3 to 2.4.1 using the clockword mod recovery method.

I didn't and it worked fine but they recommend it. Worst case is use Odin to go back to JH6 and start all over.

Why do you think you need to root after installing this rom? Most roms you install are already rooted so there is no need to root.

WEIRD

2.3B3

So, earlier today I used the reboot button to reboot my phone and noticed that the ATT screen was stuck (Like it was installing the lag_fix)

Well, I was half-asleep so I pulled the battery before I thought about it.

It booted and half of my apps were gone. Well, they weren't being displayed. I restored them with TiBu and they were "there", but, no icons

So, I master cleared, wiped and went back to 2.3B3

Having some odd symptoms. TXT notifications are working intermittantly. I've set them globally and within messaging.

Anyway, don't know what caused the thing to take a dump to begin with. I've been using 2.3B3 for some time with no issues (Except ATT address book)

GPS.

Right after loading 2.2.5 I got a lock on 10 of 10 sats in less than 10 seconds standing outside. Today driving....not as good. I could at times see 7+ sats and not lock on a one of them. Running today with runkeeper it was extremely accurate, even got which side of the road I was on. This is all with stock settings.

I generally have changed the settings to match what drancid posted. I have also modified the GPS.conf file but I am not sure if it makes a difference. I still dont get the degraded performance of GPS over time. If it could lock on 10 last night then why the degrade, I just dont get it but thats how it is.

The major difference I've noticed with the lagfix is the media scan on boot--without the lagfix it drags along, with the lagfix it's almost instantaneous. That alone is enough for me to keep the lagfix.

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
It seems that some people need a little tidbit of info. Some people who have already had Cognition or at least Clockwork ROM manager are having issues when trying to root before reapplying Cognition. Since Cognition automatically roots you, you don't have to worry about rooting your phone first.

This is the little tidbit:

When you have Clockwork ROM Manager on your system, make sure you "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It's the top operation when you launch ROM Manager. That will create an "update.zip" file on your internal SD. Copy that to your PC, External SD card, flash drive, CD, DVD...whatever you want. Then when you flash back to stock (unrooted), just place this file in the root of your internal SD card, and reboot into Recovery. Reinstall packages until you are on the 'green text' of the 'ClockworkMod Recovery' screen. It is at this screen that you would be installing a CWR version of Cognition or other ROM anyway, and you can get to it without rooting.

I'm sure this has been said a thousand times before, but I keep seeing people saying they are having issues rooting before applying Cognition, and I just keep slapping my forehead with confusion as to why people don't get this.

Thank you for your time. Carry on. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
