Just to test I flashed the JPK modem and my reception it somewhat better and my Speedtest scores are a little higher.

I'll post again tomorrow about battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Is there any way to have a Consolidated post with the modems that people have tried and what bands they are using them on successfully? It takes forever to find them.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I've just now posted, in the OP, all the modems I've used. You may be on to something with the sequence. Like I noted in the edited OP, initially, I did not have any issues. Somewhere along the way, with updating, I ended up with this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Thanks. That will be a great help to everyone. Not taking anything away from dg but lately I feel like he is just changing little things to satisfy everyones flashing addiction but I suppose there is only do much that can be done until the official version comes out for us and the geniuses here get their hands on the source code.

I absolutely agree that his late 2.1 versions were terrific but I just hate to go back. I hope shep gets a following and some support as we ned some variety in the captivate development section. I hate having to go to the i9000 forum to see what kind of cool things are happening
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I agree...Shep is motivated, and that's a good thing. He's limited in the same way DG is right now cause Samsung is dragging their feet. I'm partial to the best ROM, no matter who makes/puts it together. :D
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
Flashing JI6 modem just sacrifices dl/ul speeds... but would fix data/voice issues people are experiencing, right?

So for those that like this rom, but don't mind the slightly slower dl/ul speeds.. maybe thats the solution for now?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
If I remember correctly, ji6 put me in fc city....though it did grab a good signal

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Should only impact HSUPA; HSDPA, if available in your area, it not affected.

Yes, that was my and many others experience.

Just to recap the OP:

1) If you use a non-I9000 modem with this ROM you will eventually experience FCs/soft reboots; and,

2) If you use an Eclair modem with this ROM you will have poor battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] jslee1020:
But are there Eclair modems with HSUPA?

Aside from battery life, everything else is fine? No bugs?
[Captivate Android Development] driike:
I dropped a link for the jpk modem on the main page for anyone who wants to experiment with it. i've had np's in 3 days. but gunna flash the 1.0.3, so i'll give ya more details in a couple of days Boom
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Honestly, I can't remember for sure on the signal issue. If my recollection is correct, there were no signal issues with an Eclair I9000 modem; just increased battery drain. The modem to try would be the JG8, an Eclair I9000 itteration. The JG8 modem is deisgned to work on WCDMA 850, which is used in the Americas and Australia. That's why it works so well with the Eclair editon of the Tayutama/Xcaliburinhand setup (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791366).

Oh, and if it is an I9000 modem, it has HSUPA. It's AT&T that has our HSUPA for the Captivate disabled. Perhaps they will revisit this decision after the iPhone goes Verizon.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
I have been using the the old themed version from shep and flashed the new reorient over it as soon as it hit the i9000 boards..basically im good.. the modem on JPM seems mostly ok but i will agree that maybe the battery drain seems taxing. then again i tinker with my phone everychance i get. Just flashed the JPK modem on top off everything did NOT disable voodoo or anything. So far no FC's. will let this ride for a bit after a full charge and see if anything changes. Love the current i9000 roms, dont think i can give em up:cool:

on a side note ram usage seems really high as of late, will crawl up to 259 used and thats after i stop any running applications. dunno whats up with that:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Just be careful flashing to many modems. I tried that last night and got to a point were it didn't matter what modem I used I didn't get a signal at all just showed a X. I ended up having to flash cog beta 9 then back to CDE ASOP 3.1 then flash the re-oriented kernel to use vodoo color and lagfix. I try and stay away from one click back to stock(thats just my preference though). Flashing cog beta 9 was my last ditch effort before flashing back to stock(luckily it worked).
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
after 48 hours this rom and kernel are an epic fail for me.

the touchscreen sensitivity is garbage. It is super slow and laggy. The email client changes are also very slow.

sorry this doesn't help anyone with input.. but it just sucks.. Going back to JH7 with voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
My initial experience with the tatuyama rom was that it would FC everything, lock up and was very slow. This was using the JG8 modem. I have no idea why I am the only one who experienced this. Once I tried the jpm modem everything simmered down and it is very zippy. If you are experiencing slowness I would put suspicion onto the modem first and try a different one.

on jpm modem I get 2727 down and 1670 up at home and 1200 down / 700 up at the office. Thinking of trying jpk but don't want to push my luck.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I wouldn't if I were you...there is really nothing to gain. Those that report poor battery life with JPM are more than likely experiencing an issue with automatic band selection. You are probably on 1900, and you're phone seems happy with it.

Go to the phone dial pad and key in *#*#197328640#*#*

Then select # 1 - Debug Screen

Then select # 2 - Basic Information

Report back what band you are on please.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Seems JG8 need to be the first modem flashed for Froyo

OK, this seems to be a good idea...the JG8 modem seems to be the key here.

Steps I followed:

1) Powered down and took out SIM (so I could get in to Service Mode on the JF6 firmware);

2) Went back to stock JF6 with OOC;

3) Went in to Service Mode and WCDMA and set to 850 only;

4) Flashed the 1.0.1 version of Tayutama's ROM (has the JG8 modem) - link to lite version (provided by brafrog): http://www.multiupload.com/1I9DKC4P5H

3) Went in to Service Mode and WCDMA and checked - it was still on 850 only;

4) Applied Taytama's patch to get me to 1.0.3 (it will change your modem to JPM);

5) Went in to Service Mode and it was now on Automatic, but 850 band was not checked off;

6) Went in to Band selection portion of Service mode (Debug; Basic) and noted that it was still on 850 band 5 - have 4 full bars in my home right now;

7) Went back to Service Mode and in to Combi and selected to add 850 band;

8) Went back WCDMA to see if it was there and it was (did not select anything);

9) Rebooted phone and checked WCDMA and 850 was still there.

Based on this experience, it seems to me that flashing a full Froyo ROM with the JG8 modem first leaves the 850 band. What I'm not sure of is whether or not there will be smooth transitions from 850 to 1900, or if the phone is lying to me and I'm actually locked on 850 only. I'll test it out today and see what happens.

One note to mention: I went in to Service Mode on the stock JF6 and found that it had a strong preference for the 850 band; it was on 850 in my home and also when I went out for a quick errand. When on the JPM modem yesterday, it always wanted 1900 in my house, as well as outside. Of course, outside was not an issue; it was indoors where I was barely getting a signal.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
WCDMA 850 Band 5
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
That is good news. Hopefully, there won't be any issues when/if you phone wants to change over to 1900 (for whatever reason). If it doesn't I think you're all set.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Well it was on 1900 band 2 until about an hour ago when I added 850 using your instuctions in tayutamas post. Haven't seen it go back to 1900 since then but I was fine using 1900 band too.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
FWIW... I flashed the JI6 modem after completing the steps in post #1 and being stuck at 1900 with horrible reception. After a day or two it's been rocked solid. We'll see if it holds up.

Of course, ymmv.
[Captivate Android Development] vinodv:
Hi,

Can you explain this a little more, pls.? I've been trying all sorts of things to get one of the Cognition framework-res.apks onto this ROM and have essentially learnt what you already stated - phone crashes when the whole framework-res.apk is pushed :)

What is minimalistic metamorph? Is it one of those minimalistic mods on this forum? Would be great if you could run me through this again...with noob-level instructions.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
I'm having pretty good luck with JPK. I'm on a 1900 band here at work and have 8hrs and 15 mins at 53% right now.

The reception is good so I'm going to stick with this one for a few days to see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
OK, that's even better news given you are on JPM modem. 850 is a better frequency for indoors as it penetrates walls better thank 1900. When it comes down to it, I think we are all the same: we want good reception to make calls and good speed for up/downloads. Of course, it would be nice if GPS wold track better in the car. :D
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I suspect you will be fine on JPK - it's an I9000 Froyo modem. As long as it will transition you back and forth between bands you should be gtg.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Well, I am one of the lucky ones in that respect. Mine must have a flaw, it actually works well and has on any rom I have put on. I think its my minivan, its a nissan quest and the windshield is simply massive.
[Captivate Android Development] J-T:
I've been trolling around this forum for about the last 2 months slowly but surely working up a flashing addiction. My poor phone has seen more time hooked to a usb port getting one clicked and clockworked and bricked more times than I can count. So far I really like this Rom. It does take a little work finding the right modem but once you do it sure is worth it. I dont know if this is the fastest Rom I've ever tried but I think its probably for sure the smoothest. This is my first post and I just wanted to thank everyone here for all the help you give noobs like me. A donation will be given.

Camera still work???

While using the JI6 modem with this rom does the camera still work or give camera failed message???
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
Mine had GPS issues before Froyo. Now it works pretty good. The map graphics actually doesn't always catch up with moving arrow. It locks and stay locked as long as I keep my screen on.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
I stated that you CAN'T push whole framework-res.apk.

Minimalistic Metamorph is in Aps and Themes section of Captivate forum.

You actually need the Stericsson Metamorph application from market to use it.

Once you read more about it and install it. You create AndroidThemes folder in your internal sdcard where you put all your Metamorph files.

Basically this apk allows you to pull system files within metamorph shell and change/modify them to extend and then it will resign them and (mixed up with what NinjaMorph does) )install them back into system.

In this case using original Minimalistic Metamorph will change some of the framework graphics, but not all and to obviously minimalistic look. We are using it as a base, an easy way to hop on the already created theme for non-devs. We're just replacing Minimalistic flavor with stock.

The Min. metamorph will change related folder with one image inside or all, as long as they belong in that system framework file.

That is why I said you need to install the metamorph, but not APPLY it. So you can change Min. looking images with stock.

After that you just follow previous instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
nevermind, found it.
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
Boomerod,

You need to update OP since Tayutama has it at 1.0.3 with voodoo. People mighht not notice and try flashing xcaliburinhand's kernel over 1.0.3 without disabling voodoo.
[Epic 4G General] bdtran:
Any old TP2 users here transfer their old contacts and text messages to their Epic when they made the switch? What program did you use to do it? I'm looking to make the switch to an Epic but want to be able to transfer my contacts and text messages over. Any help? Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] arrows83:
I transferred mine by syncing my WM device to outlook. Then I Export Contact as a CSV file. Then uploaded the CSV on contact import under the Gmail or on google contacts. Wait then sync on your android device. hope this helps
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
I did that as well. However, I've been having an issue with my sms threads. When I go to send a text within an existing thread I get a bad phone number error. I have to enter the phone number in as if I am sending a text for the first time. I also get the error from opening the sms thread through the contacts.
[Epic 4G General] avlon:
Try Google Sync.

I know that it will transfer your contacts over with no problems. I believe the latest version does texts as well, but it's been a while.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] jimmyz:
I started here: http://www.syncdroid.net/
[Epic 4G General] patrickoneal:
Maybe you guys are making it harder than it should be. When I transferred my contacts, I did it via bluetooth directly from my Sprint TP2 to my Epic. I had to poke around the settings to find the option, but all my numbers and the associated photographs transferred just fine.

If you need help finding the option, I'll find my TP2, and turn it on and try to find where the option to send them via bluetooth is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmjets:
This is my first post and I was wondering if anyone can help.

I have an incredible, 2.2, rooted, with Rom Manager. I flashed the lastest recovery through Rom Manager but when I try to boot into recovery the screen stays black with a thin white line on both sides. I had some backups from another Dinc I had and took a chance at a restore from one of my older Roms. Although the screen stayed black it did load the backup so my recovery appears to be working fine only I can't see it.

Doing this before I am scared if I load a bad rom or something and get locked up I won't be able to see the recovery to restore my backups. I have tried older recoveries through Rom Manager with the same problem however when I flash RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6 it works perfectly. Only problem is Rom Manager won't use that.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Search for slcd recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmjets:
ok now I am really confused. I research the slcd and not quite sure what I have or looking at. How do I know? My old Dinc was literally only about a month older than my previous one. Can you give me a brief "Dumbed Down" version of what exactly this is?

Sorry to be such a newbie.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
From what you're describing, your phone has a slcd screen, not amoled. As such, you're going to have a few issues here and there with recoveries as well as ROMS (due to your hardware not being supported by the included kernel). Search the forums for slcd and you'll see suitable workarounds for this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
To see what screen you have... Menu > Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version. If yours is 003, you have a SLCD screen.

Anyone who has the.new guy Rom ..is there a way to get the HTC pot penguin to as my boot image. That penguin is great lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmjets:
Just incase anyone is having this problem I did find a site with a fix. Download the file, change the name and flash through hboot. It has worked for me and now I can get into recovery. Here is the link:

**Sorry the site wouldn't allow me to post the link***

Only problems I have now and I am hoping someone can help is that I can't seem to install any custom roms that don't have sense. When installing MIUI or CyanogenMod, etc I get locked up on the white HTC screen.

Anyone know a solution?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyplayr:
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html

That has the custom recovery you need for an slcd screen. I used that exact dl link to get the image. Then i used the unrevoked 3.21 tool to set it to flash a custom recovery then let the tool run. All went flawlessly

*Edit sorry i didn't see you fixed it. As far as cyanogen mod goes, I know it doesn't work with slcd screened incs because we have different display drivers. I believe that is true for all aosp roms. If you want a vanilla feel go with skyraider vanilla 3.0. It works perfectly for me
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmjets:
Thanks for posting that link and the help. I will keep checking to see if a solutions for slcd screens comes around so that I can install some other roms.

I just hate that I thought I upgraded my inc and as it turns out it was probably a downgrade.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyplayr:
To my understanding, I believe all roms work except aosp roms. I remember reading somewhere (but don't remember where) that they were working on a fix. So maybe it'll come before you know it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug piston:
Koush's test #2 kernel works fine and will boot aosp on my Slcd.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmjets:
Just wanted to let you know I found a way to make MIUI and cyanogen work on a slcd Dinc. I found the fix in one of the forums so I don't want to take any credit for it but it worked for me so I wanted to pass that info along to anyone else having the same issue.

I downloaded the Koush test kernel from Rom Manager, then I flashed the MIUI rom. Once flashed it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I pull the battery, go to recovery, and then open zip from SD card. I find the Koush kernel, install, and reboot and it has worked for everything I have tried so far (MIUI and Cyanogen).

Hope that helps someone.

Keis shall have a recovery mode.

But if you have flashed it i guess you can't use that.

If you can flash you option is to flash a new firmware.

Ok.. People are getting confused and dont exactly know when the firmware is getting released. Cricket has been holding back alot of stuff and dont kno what their prb is. Kyocera is waiting on Cricket to give them the green light that way it becomes OTA update. IMO, i think the update should be out by the end of this month. If not, then our friends over here should have a custom rom ready by then.

Please feel free to post any news from Sanyo, Kyocera, or Cricket on this thread.

I will keep updating this as i learn more.
