Not a chance lol the aria is awesome for its size but doesn't come close to the captivate , that's just my imo though. Only problem I have had with captivate is gps and I really don't use gps, so not that big of deal. The aria, like I said awesome for its size, just has to small of processor to do what the captivate can do. Most things lag on the aria games and movies almost un playable. I love my captivate.

I had bought an iphone4 for my wife to replace her old iphone. Well long story short , I turned a "i will not use anything else but iphone ! " the iphone 4 went back two weeks of having it cause of to many problems to we booth own captivates now and shes sold.

besides the gps.... i am very satisfied. here is why.....

I woke up this morning and opened allshare to stream music from my synology diskstation. Got in the car and loaded up bluetooth to my moto speakerphone/radio transmitter. Put my captivate in my proclipusa mount and Loaded up pandora to stream to my car stereo... Loaded up the navigation for testing purposes and was on my way...

Both worked without issue on the commute in.. rocking to guerrillla radio and limp bizkit. Got some tweets and emails... and the phone took it like... IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!!!!

My blackberry 9700 would have exploded and for sure the "r" key would have flew straight into my forehead... where then people would ask me why i have an R indented in my head... is it for Retard?

I rate the phone 95% out of 100%. If you really have that much to complain about then you will never be happy with any phone.....

p.s. - for people who have captivates that reboot or shutoff, that has to be a defect and you need to get it replaced. My phone has never rebooted or shutoff by itself.

p.s.s. Gps isn't great... but the phone does everything else i need really well.

rant over.

This has been a really stable rom with HSUPA enabled(no bluetooth issues) good GPS (for me) and a nice theme.

It is an international rom so all of the att crap is gone. No need for the sideloading crap.

I tried Cog beta 1,2, and 3 and F-T and I'm back to this rom. It's good for me until we get a good stable 2.2 rom.
[Captivate General] bytemare:
That's an interesting question. The aria costs a lot less than the captivate. As far as hardware goes, the captivate is superior: 16 GB RAM, the screen is awesome, the speaker is better (ringtones sound nicer) and the quality of phone calls, at least for me, is a lot better than the aria. Oh and the camera is LOT better on the captivate. I haven't had issues with the GPS (the aria locked on a little faster, but captivate performs well). The issues with wireless for me are really frustrating, but others don't seem to have an issue (wireless sometimes works, sometimes doesn't even though it's connected, I have no idea why).

Based on my experience, I'd rather have the captivate. It definitely takes more tweaking than the aria but in the 1 week I've had it, I think I got everything worked out. I definitely liked the sense UI and email client on the aria, but I can live with the UI and stuff on the captivate considering how much better the hardware is.

If anyone has any idea about how to fix wireless, I'd really appreciate it.
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, we really don't have much of choice on at&t . To me we only have two choices right now Aria or captivate. If at&t got a htc equivalent to the captivate then I would have a hard choice .

Thanks for the tip! I've never met a ROM that I wouldn't reflash if something else came along. I will try it out later tonight. Do you happen to know if the Twiz mods for custom fonts will flash ok?
[Captivate General] vbhines:
As an update, I'm loving this ROM so far...my wife hates it, as I've ignored her and my children for the last several hours. What can I say? I have a problem, her name is Android.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
Welcome to the Cappy world. I came from a HTC Tilt, she was a bit older(but we don't talk about women's ages do we?), and thanks to the folks here; was able to install Froyo on it. Oddly enough when I got my Captivate, I was really accustomed to the button layout with my Tilt(as odd as it was). Now 2 things I notice, 1-It didn't take too long for me to re-train myself on button location, and 2-I don't even need the buttons to light up anymore; I know exactly where they are even in the pitch black.

For me, I really have only had one issue, mainly GPS. I haven't had much issue with lag, nothing with WiFi, or really anything else for that matter. I've been very happy with the ROMS coming out from DG. There were a couple of minor annoyances, but coming from the Tilt(which had by far THE worst GPS I've seen to date) and other issues too lengthy to go into. This piece of equipment may have a few bugs or minor issues; but for me, the thing I love about it is it's potential. Once the official 2.2 ROM hits the streets, I think we'll see some really amazing stuff.

I'm currently running Cognitions 2.2 Beta4 ROM, and I really don't mess with the GPS much, I usually know where I am or going. For me the ROM is rock solid, and very fast. It does include OCLF(ext2). It improves the Quadrant benchmark by about 100%. Although I cant say I can see THAT much difference. There hasn't been much success with making HSUPA and bluetooth play nice together. I think there is a little bit of luck with the i9000 ROMS. I believe AT&T has crippled that for us......for the time being.
[Captivate General] vbhines:
So after installing the i9000 ROM with Reoriented 1.3 w/Voodoo and BLN, I loved everything...except my signal strength. I was getting *maybe* one bar and hating it. I ran Speedtest and got a whopping 40kbps Download and 35kbps Upload. I was only getting Edge. Wow. That was with JG8. I reflashed it with UGJH2 and its associated CSC. Now I'm gettting 1959kbps Download and 348kbps Upload. Wow again, but in a different way.

After doing a lot of reading throughout many different forums, it seems like different people have different experiences with the various modems - but for my, UGJH2 clearly is the better choice.

Thanks to all for the guidance. May I never be decappytated.
[Captivate General] bluathena:
I too came from the HTC (AT&T) Tilt. Walked into the store to either buy the Tilt 2, Aria, or Captivate. Played around with the Captivate, and I knew the specs on the other phones... I was sold.

The Captivate at this moment is a better phone coming from HTC offered through AT&T.

As stated above from a fellow ex-tilt user, the four buttons at bottom, don't need them to be lit. I know them by heart, no need to to touch the screen to make them light again.

I have not done anything with ROM updates as I have really not needed any. I am waiting for the 2.2 update. I did check for software update via OTA today and there was one. My WiFi works great. Of course my SSID here at home is hidden so I have to set it up manually, but it works great. WEP security, no problem. The only trouble I have had is with the GPS.

The GPS is quite hilarious, not really needing it, but using it knowing of the complaints. In the more congested cities or where roads will run parallel is more or less where I experienced problems. I loved how I would jump roads like a frog. lol I did love how it showed the picture of your destination upon your arrival (using Google Maps).

Coming from the Tilt though, I do miss the sliding keyboard, still even two months later. My typing speed for texting has slowed tremendously. I got so good at using two thumbs and fingernails were not that big of deal. With the captivate, fingernails are more of a hinderance. If the touch screen was stylus friendly, then fingernails would be helpful.

But a wish list to make this phone even better on top of what I stated above, a flash on back and front facing camera would have been nice. Also a place to put my cell phone charm. Oh, and a calendar a bit more like what is on Windows Mobile. I lived by that on my Tilt.
[Captivate General] vbhines:
See, this is why I posted this initially. I've been able to find out that my phone was just strange. While I was annoyed that the order of the buttons is different than that of any other Android phone I've owned (whether that complaint is reasonable or not), my issue wasn't that I couldn't remember the order of the buttons without the lights on. My issue is that the buttons literally wouldn't work unless they were lit. The first unit I had (I went through two before getting fully functional one) I had to touch the screen briefly to get the touch buttons to light up. If they weren't lit, I could sit there all night and press them and they wouldn't do anything.

I also updated some settings in the GPS service menu found elsewhere in the Cappy forum here at XDA and was able to get a lock much faster afterward.

[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
So has anyone tried this method? Is changing the country code "XEF" necessary for unlock? Is that just for changing the product code?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have yet to try it, but changing the country code is only necessary if you flashed a different international firmware and it changed that.
[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
Ya i flashed to cognition 2.2 so it shouldn't be an issue right?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Not the country code, since you flashed an AT&T build.
[Captivate General] Vae Hostilis:
when performing the busybox line, I get

cp: write error: No space left on device

Why? I have plently of room on my phone, what is the problem here?
[Captivate General] Vae Hostilis:
No one has any idea?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I ran into this, and i have an answer... took me bit to discover it...

The /efs partition is only about 6MB in size - the nv_data.bin is 2mb. There is a hidden backup file and another file as well that are also about 2mb.

ls -l -a (you can't do ls -la as in linux or unix) will show you hidden files and sizes.

So you probably tried to backup your nv_data.bin in the /efs folder, and then copying a new one over and you ran out of space. Delete the nv_data.bin after you back it up to your SD card, then copy the changed one over.
[Captivate General] Vae Hostilis:
Tried deleting the file in the efs folder, then just copying the file over using root file manager and it still says I don't have enough room. after deleting the file, I have 1.91mb free in that folder. is there anything in there I can toss?

And what does busybox have to do with transfering the file? as in why do i have to include busybox when typing in the command on adb?

Edit: here is the list of files in there in case I have some unnecessary ones.

.android (folder)

---empty

.imei (size: 15)

.nv_data.bakk (2097152)

.nv_data.bakk.md5 (32)

.nv_state (1)

imei (folder)

---bt.text (23)

---mps_code.dat (3)

nv.log (96)

after listing these off, I notice there is a serious math problem here..... how do i have 4.01 mb (according to root file manager) filled?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I did all this via ADB shell and i didnt use the busybox command; but i don't see your original nv_dat.bin - that is 2MB. You can delete the bakk file - that was made by some script - i have never seen the OS add 2 K's.

If you want to keep something move it to SD card and then delete from /efs. I know it is the nv_data.bin and .nv_data.bin that are 2MB files - they take up the room in the partition.

Unless you use a terminal and type in the commands - it is hard to tell what the file manager may still be hiding. I haven't used root file manager.
[Captivate General] Vae Hostilis:
I have the .nv_data.bak, the .nv2.bak, and the nv_data.bin in the sdcard folder. I believe the instructions told us to move those out of the efs folder and rename the copies (left in the efs folder) to .bakk instead of .bak, as they were the ones that would be deleted later.

All the files you see, are all the files in there, looking through ADB and the Root File manager app w/ hidden files shown. and the file sizes are not adding up to the total 4 it says I have in there, but I will try deleting the .bakk file and see what happens.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The nv_data.bin is the important one.

With what you listed, you should have about 4mb free, not 4 mb used. If you are in ADB shell you also have the df and du commands to show you how much of the /efs partition is used.
[Captivate General] Vae Hostilis:
lol. it tells me 4.01mb is used.... sigh.....

Edit: just wiped my phone for the hell of it to see if it fixed anything. All the files are back, safe and sound, and the MATH ADDS UP (Yeay!). I'll try one more time before I give up.

Edit 2: just ordered a replacement device from at&t. I'll just run the Generate Code program on that, hopefully. Thank you for your help!!
[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
So has anyone actually tried this? Does it actually work?
[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
How did you get att to replace it?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
It does work. As long as your IMEI is good. (*#06#). Take a good unlocked nv_data.bin - put your IMEI and unlock/unfreeze codes in it; in the right places. Move it your phone and reboot.
[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
so if i just follow the guide exactly i'll be good? Is there a chance that my phone might not boot up? For some reason my phone can't get into download or recovery mode so i don't want to be stuck.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
with a bad nv_data.bin - it should still boot -but I can't guarantee it. Never tried.

Hacking system files, there is always the chance the phone won't boot. AT&T did it with OTA upgrade.... How bad do you need to unlock your phone -that is the question you need to ask yourself.
[Captivate General] michael.seltzer:
Well my phone is currently unlocked. Somehow when I downgraded from 2.2 is kept the unlock (kind of makes sense since how could samsung make it so that unlock is removed when updating, I mean people actually get legitimate codes). I'm just worried it could relock and I need to now if I should get rid of this phone now, and if it is safe to have samsung replace my phone because of the no recovery/download mode issue.

I'm on t-mobile so it vital.

[Android Software Development] Bazaa:
I have a problem. I want to create a screen where a map (a picture) will be displayed, with some interaction (dragging, zoom, etc).

I started with creating an ImageView, but I found out that those gestures are still quite complicated to implement (couldn't find a single example that I could work with). Then, someone suggested me that I could use a WebView instead, as it would act as a workaround to those gesture issues. Indeed, switching to WebView did solve some of my problems.

However, I do have a new problem derived from this. As of now, to display the image, the terminal requires an internet connection; I've found out how to load files locally, but only if they're on the terminal itself (as in if the file is on the sdcard). Is there any way to access the image without having to store it separately from the program? Like when accessing the drawables?

Sorry if this a basic question, I'm pretty much starting and the amount of tutorials/information available is either dated or confusing. Btw, I'm developing on Froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleManuel:
Hi there!

I´m currently using shubCRAFT 1.5 and I can´t stand the keyboard layout. Is there a keyboard available on the Market that´s similar to that one from HTC for their devices? I mean the layout and the alternative characters popup by a long press of the key. Thanks... :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] ioneng:
I don't know whether this is a good recommendation, but I have been using this keyboard called TouchPal keyboard for a few days and I just love it to bits. With this keyboard, u can slide up on a key to enter capital letters and slide down to enter numbers and symbols. It feels much quicker than doing long presses. Now the thing that might stop u from getting this keyboard is that this is mainly a chinese keyboard. But, if U keep it in english mode it's just like a normal keyboard, if not any better and u will not see any chinese stuff at all. It's on the market for free. To switch between the languages just hit the gear symbol on the lower left corner.

5. camera, wifi and bluetooth must work

6. must be rooted

[Wildfire Android Development] genericmann:
- Ad-Hoc WIFI networks enabled, as it is in WildFire (there is a patch in that thread to do that).

- I would like to see a minimalistic design, for users to customize it as they like

- Changed system sounds would be nice (star wars r2d2 sounds would be a nice choice i think)

- Would be nice to see some other (optimized?) media players (music/video)

- Of course a tuned and speed optimized ROM is appreciated as always.. :)

- I agree with the guy who said "WildBeast" would be the name of this ROM

I wish you success on your work bringing this ROM to life!
