Sorry to all that asked for the transparent windows.. I am in the middle of some things, but I will post as soon as I can.

screen capture

Does COG 2.4 come with a pre-installed screen capture? I am not sure what I did, but suddenly got a screen capture on the phone (not through usb debugging), but I haven't been able to repeat it.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I wouldn't bother going backwards unless something goes wrong... I would just install through Rom manager straight from where you are and enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Loving thits build.

Captivate

Cog 2.4
[Captivate Android Development] ScaGin:
The best build yet. Can't wait to see what comes................
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
It's ok dude... no use apologizing for having a life outside of xda. I am really looking forward to seeing it tho cause the way it is now is just a little too gray for my tastes lol
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
it's because google account understand hashed (most likely MD5) authentication ..

other account don't .. if android save the account in hashed, which is a one way encryption, it basically don't know what the password is.. and it would not be able to authenticate to other account ..

risky yes .. but that's the risk of having a rooted phone ..
[Captivate Android Development] Jhors2:
By the way MD5 encryption almost does nothing for you. There are tons of tools out there to brute force that really fast as long as you have the hash. If they are that far into your phone it would'nt be hard from there whether a hash was in place or not.....just so you know.....
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Thanks brother... I REALLY wanted to hear that! I'm going to wipe cache and data in rom manager when it prompts me, should I wipe the dalvich while in clockwork too?

If anyone else has an opinion, I know it's a long post, but any extra insight would be very appreciated :) It's one page back
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Two questions:

I have two questions, done a quick search in this thread and the whole development forum and couldn't find these.

First, how can I re enable the Haptic feedback?.

Second, the white status bar drop is horrible. How can I revert it back to the original black one?. I edited the framework-res.apk in the past, I just need to know wich files I need to replace. I tried with the status bar files under drawable_hdpi but the status bar drop remains white. I would like to revert it back to the black one.

Thanks in advance.

Whipon.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I flashed over 2.3 b2. No issues I did not cause myself. Wiped data and cache. Remove sim and external sd. Like what was said before unless there is an issue with your flash you most likely will not have to go back. Make sure you disable whatever lag fix you may be using

Captivate

Cog 2.4
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Mine shows one other account but in the passwork section it is blank and not showing any password. The google account shows a password in there but it is random letters and numbers that at least are not my password in plain english but some kind of encrytion I would guess.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
I have never deleted the dalvic cache before but I don't think it will hurt if it makes you feel better...hope it works out for you either way.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
rom is pretty snappy so far
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Haptic feedback is at the bottom of your sound settings for your phone...I am afraid I can't help you with the notification drop down problem...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
+1 but really this is not relevant to this rom and is universal to all roms

Captivate

Cog 2.4
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Well, thanks a lot, couldn't find that anywhere.

Only thing left is to be able to edit the framework-res.apk so the status bar drop down and its buttons are like the JI6 ones.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Well this one isn't really any less gray.... i just took the stock status window and made it transparent... going to rework a few tomorrow, look for the post.

This is my current one. You just need the twframework for transparent windows. I have included my framework-res as well, that includes a circle batt and color notification icons from previous other random mods.

Look for more modified frameworks tomorrow. Gonna try a few different ones.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Thanks for the help :) Here goes nothing!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Mine's the same...I have 5 accounts and the passwords do not show...I'm using root explorer...
[Captivate Android Development] acornejo129:
Stock Lock screen

Is there any .zip file that can bring back the stock lock screen. Not the glass.

I seen one a few hundred posts back but i believe it was for 2.3b~

I want to make sure it works for 2.4.

Thanks.

Great ROM!!
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
From what I have seen, if you use the same password as a google account, it will show nothing. If you use a different one, you can see it in clear text.
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
does anyone else have a problem with the names in the call log list not swiping to the right to call and left to message? This rom feels real good and snappy for sure. I've been playing with it since this morning and traveling all day. I've had a better signal in Edge networks and my gps is trying to get off it's ass. Someone mentioned the colors looking washed out on this rom, that's the first thing I noticed today too. Does anyone know how to get the car mode app back that was on 9.1.3? That one blew this one away.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Hey DG, if you happen to see this, and if it makes you feel any better, I LOVE the look of the new notification bar. It's all personal preference of course, but it looks good!

Oh and thanks chief beefalo for the screens!
[Captivate Android Development] ladiesgod:
Nice ROM DG!

The only thing that's really weird is the in call keypad. It doesn't have the letters assigned to each key pad. So if I have to spell a last name to search a name directory during a call I have no clue which numbers I need to press to spell out the name.

Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:
A couple of things I have noticed about 2.4, and I was wondering if anyone else has too:

1.) upon reboot, icons and widgets do not load until almost after media scanning is completed.

2.) I don't seem to be able to change the second button on my launcher from the browser to something else. I would like to add contacts to it.

I did an ODIN3 master clear ( which had some things fail in the recovery mode reboot portion pertaining to formatting cache, etc.) but ODIN said it was completed and successful. I next flashed back to stock like dg suggested. I am just wondering if anyone else noticed any of the two above things. Sweet rom otherwise. I love how close it is to stock, and to see touchwiz gone!
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Thanks for that... I like it better transparent anyway. Looking forward to see what else you can come up with. Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
THANK YOU for the wifi tether...I LOVE U...anyway, can you get haptic feedback back on the rom soon...i kinda like it
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
I found it!

Well I found a way to change the status bar dropdown menu.

You need to edit the twframework-res.apk.

Sadly the area with the carrier name remains white (the one above the notifications area).

I'd like to know wich file I must replace in either apk to change its color.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Haptic feedback is on this Rom... its just disabled by default. Settings... sounds... bottom of the menu.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
I think it may be quick_panel_bg.9.png in the twframework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi folder
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Neither of them things are Rom related... they have to do with the launcher. I put the modified touchwizgtg launcher on mine instead of launcher 2 and llike it 100 times more.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
A ROBOT IS TALKING TO ME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! haha I never heard the voodoo thing before! cool as ****! so far, so good! :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] wuxingwarrior3:
Yeah my swipe gestures don't work in the call log and this new car mode blows. Its not even customizable :( wouldn't google maps be an appropriate app for car mode? I guess not.
[Captivate Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
It worked!!!! My phone isn't bricked!!!!! I followed all the instructions and it worked!!!! Thanks everyone for your help!!! Thanks dg go have a drink on me!!!! Aaaahhhhhhh :) :) :) :)

edit: I'm not noticing any difference with the screen colors, and I usually have a pretty sharp eye for that.

edit again: DG... seriously man THANKS! I feel like I have a whole new cell phone. AT&Ts handling of android was pure ****. This is SO NICE! I'm not like some weird loser but really I could hug you right now. It's like a brand new phone! You have done excellent work. Thank you! :)
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Super Manager is fully capable and free
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
It didn't work. I changed it from white to black but the carrier name background remains black. The same goes with the background of the notifications, a very light grey that looks horrible with my black background.

Maybe I need to replace a xml?.
[Captivate Android Development] ratflinger:
Got 2.4 running with little to no problems. Couple of hours latter I hear the ding of an incoming message - AT&T wants to offer me a software upgrade and asks that I accept it when it comes in. Gee, you think I should? :rolleyes: :D
[Captivate Android Development] bruch:
Passwords in clear text...

I have to add something to Keitht's post above.

Passwords should never be saved in clear text.

Root or not, the file is there.

In my phone for example, I have Gmail account with the password hashed and Exchange Account with Clear Text.

I have about 30 users with Android using the Exchange Email to sync with their phones. By tomorrow they will be total disabled.

Let's think about a very bad case scenario.

One of the employers lost the phone.

Somebody with a little bit of knowledge finds it. Root the phone (you don't need much, just " One Click Root").

Access the DB and gets the Username and Password for the Exchange account.

As much of you know, the Exchange Account Password is the same as the AD password.

Because in our company we have everything syncronized, the AD, VPN, Exchange, WebMail passwords are the same (everything authenticates against AD).

See how nice?? The guys guy that found the phone has the VPN Access, with the AD Access for Remote Desktop or Email and maybe more.

This is Basic, ask any System/Network Admin.

"PASSWORDS SHOULD NEVER BE SAVED IN CLEAR TEXT"

Bluetooth Voice Dialer

For some reason - (go figure) - now I too get the BT Voice Dialer to start, but like you, my phone also doesn't seem to hear through the BT mic. - for me it's a voyagerPro mic.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Hi DG is it possible to post again the link of all the apk that you removed from the jj4 ROMs before? I went to the cog site but its not there anymore :(. Thanks for all the hard work
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I noticed that too. Strange thing is that I'm pretty sure the first time I opened the log I got the message on how to swipe.
[Captivate Android Development] curti.nogg:
I'm using an old Motorola headset and have the same issue; but I am now able to answer calls using my bluetooth headset.
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Almost done

Only thing left is the notifications background.

I don't like default Cog 2.4 light grey.

Managed to change the carrier name by editing the following files in twframework-res:

quick_panel_list_bg_03.9

quick_panel_notifications_bg.9

As the title says almost done.

[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
syncing twitter contacts seems to be messed up with 2.4. it pulls up my twitter contacts when i add the account but it says myspace on it instead of twitter. after i select the contacts i want to save, they dont actually save.
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:
Does anyone elses icons and widgets not load at all until media scanning is almost completed on 2.4?
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
3 options:

1. Employee loses phone, change AD password.

2. Require PIN/Pattern for unlocking phone.

3. Use a different phone.

I don't know about you but if I had 30 users with Exchange accounts set up on their phones and I told them no more email because this "could" happen "if" someone with a little knowledge got a hold of it, believe me **** would hit the fan. (Hint: Our CEO is an Android user)

While I agree passwords should not be stored in clear text, if it's of that great of concern, then maybe a different device should be used.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Upgraded to 2.4 tonight. My impressions are that it is smoother for sure, seems a bit more polished. GPS is totally shot for me (no tweaks applied, never had to before). Seems SLIGHTLY slower than 2.3b3 but certainly faster than stock. The install went smooth, smoother for me than 2.3b3 (only version I have had trouble with when I followed the proper steps). My email issues went away with this version which have existed on the last two versions (calendar wouldnt sync after multiple flashes).

Very nice ROM DG.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I Love DG's Rom and almost everything about it. But maybe it is the Darkside of me but I like the black themes and I think they blend right in with Cognition Black and Blue colors. So I used Reefermadness Darkness:MM &CWM v2.2 Black Dialer.

I am on Cog. 2.4 by the way and it works great. Just pick the jj/jk link in his post on the first page

Customizing Theme

Hey guys, I love this rom but I do want to change the notification window. Also, how would I go about modifying my Touchwiz Launcher with the numbers showing on the bubbles of different pages. I believe the fascinate does this. ALso, I want to apply the green circle battery mod. The one with the notches, not the smooth one. Any help would be nice
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos4790:
is there any way to customize the stock launcher. how many screens, change the apps on the dock, etc. noob here
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Not with the one that's included...what you see is what you get lol

[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
Lot of you guys who have have gps problems you must use it outside. Sitting in your desk. Or couch inside. Your house will work depending on how your holding or walls. I use it all the time outside when driving and takes like 10-60 seconds.

Just go out your house and try it out. Also. Florida quick gps. From market helps a lot before you fire up your gps.
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos4790:
damn... back to lp i guess
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
actually, this is why when you connect to your exchange, they usually enforce a security policy .. one of them is that they could remotely wipe your phone ..

and this is implementation nightmare .. the safest way is for android not to save any password at all, meaning the user have to enter the passwords every time their widget need to updates facebook or twitter or emails ..

another implementation is to encrypt the password using a master decryption key that the user need to enter once .. but once the user enter the master key, it's no different that the current implementation ..

so .. if you loose your phone, just remember to change all your passwords :)
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
I left it on for about half an hour on my way back from school, it never locked. I was outside in my backyard for ten minutes, never locked. I have not gotten it to lock once in open area at all today. I am back to jh7. Stock rom seems to be the best. I appreciate the hard work that has been put in the rom. The battery life and the gps is no good with this rom. Sorry, I will wait until the roms built on the official froyo for the captivate whenever it comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I believe it is universal.....BUT..I decided to forward all my unanswered calls to Google voice....so now I get notifications and as a bonus the message file is saved ans transcribed sent to Gmail....no need for ATT voice mail..So this not working has made me finally look at and use Google Voice...what a great thing!! LOL

I tried the LBST supl.google thing and it was indeed better than stock settings....but .GPS is never the same. Sometimes I get an immediate lock other times it takes a minute or more..So I cannot say for sure iof anything I do changes anything...But it does lock and really has to be outdoors with direct line of site for the best lock times...
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
I have put together a few mods from reefermattness and tatuyama's icons and combined them in one convenient package for 2.4. I still haven't figured out how to change the background of each notification from white to transparent, so if anyone knows which files I need to replace, that would be awesome. Also, if anyone likes the way this looks, let me know and I'll post the apks :)

Edit: Realized pictures were WAY too small to see...these should be better :)
[Captivate Android Development] WickedStyx:
Try the modified TWLauncher here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822523

It is way better than the stock one. I have only tested this with Cob 2.3b2 so can't guarantee it will work on 2.4.
[Captivate Android Development] avengeryarr:
Yes please! :) the color of the notification tray is making me nauseous
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
love 2.4! everything is working smooth and fast. thanks for your hard work, DG!!
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
Getting to this rather late, but the reason I attribute to this is:

a) it wipes all the LBSTest settings and resets them

b) variability in environment (i.e. differnt methods to fix, different geo regions, different weather conditions, potentially different hardware/drivers provided secretly by Sammy and Co.)

My reason for the latter is that plenty of people who have this phone have had no GPS problems, regardless of ROM version (yes, that includes plain old stock 2.1). I really don't think I have it in me to listen to peeps restart the GPS witchhunt. If it works OK, keep it. If it's crap, return it. Nuff said.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Here you go :) Again, I take no credit for the actual icons, I just put them together and replaced the ones from the Cognition 2.4 ROM. Great work, DG! Just glad I can contribute something!

BTW, the framework-res also includes the circle battery mod. If you like your current battery, don't use the one I posted.

To install, simply save these files onto your sd card, BACK UP your original framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and then rename these files as framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. I take no responsibility if these don't work for you. I have these working on 2.4, and I have no idea if they will work on any other version.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I had issues with GPs all over the place, no matter what settings or ROM. Replaced it under warranty and got one that works. There's definitely a hardware issue at the root. Additionally, each ROM has different implementations of the core GPS software. As I understand the official 2.1 update that helped a lot of people had some sort of driver update. For me 2.4 isn't working as well (hopping while driving) as the 2.3 and 2.2b6 I used before.
[Captivate Android Development] spradling:
Lucky you!!!

I used to get great battery like you with 2.1, but since going 2.2 it's been killer, it lasts 6 HOURS, 6 HOURS !! Insane....

Happened on 2.3b3. Tried charging to 100 and reseting batt stats, nothing, then charged to 100 and updated to 2.4 and reseted batt stats, still 6 hours!!

I'm going to try going ODIN stock tomorrow while at 100%, I hope that fixes it!

btw, I NEVER got a GPS lock, not with 2.1, 2.3b4, 2.4, etc... going to try the Jupiter files tomorrow as well. Doubt it will work though, never worked not even once yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Installed, working pretty nicely! Not super fast but decently fast, I'll uninstall Launcher2 later, using TWGTG.

The notif bar is disgustingly ugly :P I'll theme it later.

Everything works fine after my first ever Odin One Click Restore.

Happy witht he way things are, but honestly miss i897 based ROMs. Will stick with this though, to keep up with development. THANKS DG!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I am usually by the book....however I will install a ROM from the root beofre going back to stock. If there are issues I can always go back to stock and master clear everything.

In this case I did go back to stock because i wanted my ID and because I have not gone back to stock since 5.5 and I needed a brush up on going that route because I had to use adb to get into Download mode. I need to break out my notepad notes... I have every version of ROM backed up.

Few people have bricked their phones when you really read these threads and those who have likely did not read enough or know what they were doing.

I never installed a lag fix (or even special OS .Apks) because i did not really understand what was going on there. I am glad it has been incorporated into the latest ROMS...
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Sounds to me you have a defective phone.....GPS is locking for most people. Not as fast as some would like but they are getting locks. Battery life is subjective. i am lucky to get 6 hours and carry an extra battery because I use the phone a lot and everything is syncing at minimum times and always on WiFi and GPS remains on in the BG. I don't think you have a battery issue.

I used to use Juice defender to save battery life but just decided an extra Samsung battery and charger would allow me to enjoy the phone more....(One thing about the iPhone i hated was rationing use because I could not swapout a battery..ugh.)
[Captivate Android Development] jorge_moran_jams:

I followed step by step what this post in the wiki says:
