[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I have not tried Bluetooth on the superlite version; I did try SL, but went back to stock where I can control what I get rid of. I know this will strike many as odd, but I like Touchwiz over LP, ADW, etc.

Shep is making nice ROMs. I think he also likes Tayutama's theme cause he spoke with him and got permission to put it in his ROMs.

I don't recall which modem Shep was using in his early combo ROMs, but I think it was either JI6 or an Eclair Bell modem. The only problems we have seen with mix-matching a modems is occasional soft reboots and poor battery life. Otherwise, they seem to perform very well.

Thank you. In terms of battery life, the only ROM I've used that beats this one is Cognition 2.1.6.

Thanks. I definitely am staying with this combo until an official Froyo for Captivate is released. However, if battery life isn't any better, GPS not improved (tracking is my problem now; locks are not an issue with any of the recent Froyo ROMs I've used), and Bluetooth voice commands are not working, I'll be back to this combo. Really, the only thing I am hopeful for with an official Froyo for Cappy is better Bluetooth performance, both in voice commands and sound quality.

I have nothing to gain or lose regardless of what you decide. I am simply offering information of my experiences, and assistance to those who would like to try this out.

As for the live wallpaper you're referring to, I'm not sure where it is located or what it is named, but I suspect it is located in /system/app. So, you should be able to unzip the Cognition package and navigate to this location, copy the apk.

Yeah, it seems signal might be an issue from time to time. For me, I have not had any issues. I do notice the bars going back and forth sometimes, but I've been on call when that happened and did notice any problems. I do think it makes sense that voice wise, a Cappy modem may do better. The problem is when mixing modems like this I've seen battery life suffer, and the occasional soft reboot.

GPS, well that's something I just don't pay attention to any more. I will admit, with all the recent Froyo ROMs I've used, my GPS locks consistently fast. Tracking, on the other hand, is just not good. I did try out NDrive and it did better, but still not up to par. This is such a disappointment given the potential of this phone.

Read the OP...the kernel is Xcaliburinhand's I9000 JPM, re-oriented to the Captivate; the modem I'm using is JPM.

These phones and their ROM packages are not identical. While this particular live wallpaper may not be in any of the I9000 packages, it shouldn't be that difficult to copy it over. By the way, did you take a look at the ring tones on the I9000 package - way more and much cooler than Captivate packages.

Are you using a Captivate; did you follow the instuctions; where are you located? Perhaps another I9000 Froyo modem will do better for you. Many are still using a Bell Eclair modem, like JH2. I had very good performance with the JH2, but battery life was not that good.

a) Yes;

b) Yes;

c) Yes.

That's good news. I've been getting consistently fast locks...unfortunately, the tracking is not that good though.
