@DG 2.3b5 and 2.3b5.1 missing from Old Roms? Trying to install CM6.1 over 2.3b6 and it does not boot.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I don't understand why you say is the fastest rom... my quadrant score is very low...

j/k

It's FAST!! Donated a six pack just to celebrate the new rom :)

Confirmation no. 14C6912680290361V

2.3b4 was already a very good rom. It was so annoying to deal with stock jf6 for those seemingly eternal two minutes before reflashing!

BTW: For all those that are afraid of loosing data after flashing, Root explorer and TiBu Pro helped restoring all my apps/settings/bootanimations/etc in just 5 min.

Cheers.

I was having the same problem - so I opened the Cognitionv2.3b6.zip file on my Win 7 system and ooops.....bad zip file. Re-downloaded it, started over and it's installing now.

alright....once again the android keyboard is missing! do i use the same method as 2.3b4 to add it? even though I never did get it added correctly......

Question, what is the kernal version supposed to be on 2.3 b6.

Sweet rom best ever...after i got glass lock screen back though, music controls in lock screen are a must plus i just dont like android lock screen. Need to swipe in any direction and anywhere to unlock man.

How can i get the launcher back from 2.3b5 back that had the wallpaper backround in the app drawer.

i used to hate the two standard keyboards and only used swype but i hate how swype hardly ever gets my words right so now im back to the android keyboard and i only use swype when i have to text while im in the car...at stop signs and such

Mate, DG doesnt do this for money. So a bit more politeness sorts wouldnt do any harm. Theres no need to get worked up. Ask politely and there will be 10 people who will answer your query. Its DG's rom, his choice and if you need your own functionality, you build one or read the struff posted here and get it done.

Cheers.

As far as I know the default launcher2 comes with... no settings. If you want a feature packed launcher that you can make look like launcher2 then I would suggest LauncherPro. Free version is awesome and paid is even better.

On another note... DG you are the man. I have been battling with i9000 roms because I liked setiron's kernel. But you have done it again man. One day when I'm not broke I am gonna buy you a case of beer. :-)

I know how to get it back, it just boggles the mind why it keeps getting added, removed, added, removed, added, removed...

I can understand the fiddling around with the various launchers or lock screens for performance reasons but again, just baffles the mind why the stock Keyboard gets removed sometimes.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I get your point but really the fix is easy compared to how much better the phone its running. To be honest I use swype now because of they last build. Forced me to give it go
[Captivate Android Development] rsunny:
Maybe he wants to achieve some sort of performance balance. I am no Android guru but since this is beta, he might be trying things to see what gives the perfect mix. Maybe the stock keyboard adds something thats not ideal..

I dont know.. :)
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Other items...

The Android lock screen is just terrible IMO... I actually like the TouchWiz UI but this comes down to preference.

I would think having multiple directions to swipe the screen, as well as music controls, will net more people more usability than whatever the stock Android lock screen gives you (nothing of advantage I see???)...

And I guess my gripe about the new Launcher2 is just a Launcher2 problem but the lack of settings is really annoying. I could definately get used to it though, it seems zippy fast, I could probably get used to a featureless launcher and just use home screen icons instead. No pinching sucks though.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
That's exactly why I stopped using Swype as well. It's a cool novelty but I got tired of having to select a different word or verify it selected the word properly every single time so I, like you, went back to the old "hunt and peck" keyboard. Plus, I can use two fingers again and two finger tapping is still faster than Swype IMO.

voodoo lagfix and downgrading

When I upgrade to a new cognition version, I always do a full wipe first in Clockwork recovery before flashing. Because of this, I have always skipped disabling voodoo.. I have also never bothered to flash to the older rom (I897UCJF6?) first, seeing as how I do a full wipe anyway.

Am I correct to assume that neither of these things are necessary in my case? I do not seem to have any problems...

I do read, but this thread is huge.

So move on from the rom as it obviously does not fit you're needs
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
All I can say is holy ****. This rom is blazing fast, smooth, and all around amazing. Best one yet DG.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Someone can correct me but if you installed it and do not have any issues then stick to what you are doing. If you run into issues flashing stock is an option
[Captivate Android Development] ingrown:
I noticed the same thing with swype on the last version of cog i used... it seems that the speed vs accuracy setting was favoring the speed side by default. After sliding it more towards the accuracy side i found swype usable again. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I'm not tempted to switch keyboards anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
And you could have changed both of those in the time it took you to write this. It's all about choices...no matter what you don't like its always simple to change it. If he had it set up exactly like you want it there would be someone else in here complaining about it. If you don't understand that then find a different Rom that has what you want.

[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
does seem a bit laggy. even though ive read that no lagfix is needed, and its performing top notch. switching b/w menus and scrolling apps seems jittery. oh well.

how do you guys feel about task killing? advanced task killer? froyo task manager? how does froyo handle processes?
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
so the internal sd card is useless now?
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
According to the Android Central podcast the other night, Froyo doesn't like task killers and I guess it will start up applications right away that you try to kill. That being said, I have Advanced Task Killer Free on my phone, but only use it to kill apps, that don't turn off i.e. the music player. And according to the info on the task killer that comes with Froyo (go figure), hitting the back button instead of the home button shuts off most apps. Corey, from AC, said not to bother with task killers at all, and even suggested to just let things run for a few days and see how the system is. So take that however you will.

aaallright... i think im finally gonna flash a cog ROM! im on dg's AOSP beta 3 rom and loving it... gps works, gmail and regular email work (only wish it would work on wifi), has been stable and have been running this rom since dg released it! ive always wanted to flash cognition but never did.... seeing how the latest version is the "fastest and safest captivate rom" that sold me! especially seeing everyones post on how blazing fast it is and how ppl have good results! since i never flashed a cog rom and never had voodoo or any lag fixes, will it be a problem to flash? i can just flash from CWM correct? i also just read ppl dl the file straight to the phone? how so? i have to use parallels and run win 7 and dl the file and then drop to my sd card and then flash with CWM. i have never flashed to stock or used odin cuz i dont have native windows pc... ive read that ppl who flash cog usually flash to stock wit odin... do i need to? if i do then i guess i cant run cog! i would really appreciate ppls response to my question cuz i am ready to join the cog party!!!

What happens is that the phone seems to pick whatever sound off the internal sd and plays it as a ringtone...it started when I was running 2.4.1....I set a custom ringtone for my friend and g/f...my g/f's ringtone worked just fine but my friends made the same sound as the app ShootMe does when it takes a screenshot of the phone

I was using beta 4 for a few days and it started doing it with her ringtone too except with hers it starts playing an mp3 that I have in my music library...I installed beta 6 tonight and even flashed back to stock first. It's playing the exact same mp3 now.

I may remove all my music for now and see what happens when she texts me again...

SIM card not recognized?

Sorry, if this is a newb question. I have flashed new ROMs a few times before with no issues. But after updating to 2.3b6, my SIM is not being recognized. I was on 2.3b3 or b4, flashed back to JF6 stock, then rooted and flashed to 2.3b6. The ROM is installed and the phone is working on wifi but when I go to mobile network settings, it says please insert a SIM card.

Is there any part of this process that can mess up my cell service? I've only tried restarting the phone. Don't know any other troubleshooting tips. Thanks.

Edit: I just tested the Sim card in my old iPhone and it works, so it's definitely an issue with the Captivate.

Also, GPS works well in my area, which has horrible GPS signal even for standalone GPS. But yeah, I'm satisfied! Thinking of flashing to 2.3b6 soon, instead of using i9000 kernel and ULF.
