Hey thanks allot for the rom nearly perfect except for one thing that i just thought i might throw out there in case youd be able to fix it the only problem i can see is theres lag scrolling up and down webpages that i didnt have before esspecialy if it has a couple of images or flash content on the page even without flash it still has the lag if you could fix that in the next update then id have to say this rom is perfect

i dont know if its just my problem but the headset button dosent work at all . also i can't hear from the headset when calling. music i can. does anyone else has the same problem?

This is a known issue for all the re-oriented kernel. Something the devs are looking into. Only wired does not work, BT is working great on mine.

Has anyone upgraded to current rom without wipe nor factory? reset?
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
you will save yourself alot of headaches if you follow the instruction exactly if not when it boots the primary band will be 1900 and you wont be able to change it..
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Couldnt resist. Flashed 7.6 over 7.5 without wipe or factory reset.

Changed kernel to 340mb ram. Kept all sertings and apps. Lost my theme as it reverted to new roms theme. Wcdma 850 still present. Added roms apps that i had removed.

Stupid question and maybe I am just not seeing it. How can I get my phone into mass storage mode over USB? There are no options in the applications settings.

What was wrong with click and gallery? Seems to be working on 7.6
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
anyone have an opinion which lagfix works best with this kernel and rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
This is the recommendation in everything I've read:

No-RFS Advanced: all partitions are ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
I don't know, it must be not working on the i9000. The Cooliris gallery is a bit better if you ask me.

I think I made a mistake in the update-script and the new gallery is never installed in data/app, hence gallery is missing; so I moved it to system/app and in 7.6.2 r1 it should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] kalel90:
So if i have 7.1 on here atm and wanna upgrade to 7.6 will i have to go back to jf6 and flash up to keep the 850mhz band? That would suck.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
No you shouldn't have to.

Phone ! Computer Screen

Was trying to go from a working 7.6.2 r1 on Captivate back to stock with Odin. Laptop died halfway through, now I'm getting dreaded Phone ! Computer screen.

I tried all of the 3 button fixes to get into d/l mode I could find here multiple times with no luck. Is there anything specific in this rom that would change anything I need to do?

When I do the power + volume up + volume down the Phone ! Computer screen will turn to black than back to Phone ! Computer than back to black, but letting go of the power button and any combination of holding them/plugging in USB/etc. has been unsuccessful through 30-40 attempts (over 3 hours :( ).

I could previously use 3 button to get into d/l or recovery mode from stock, though I never tried after flashing this rom successfully yesterday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] sifulee:
Try holding just the volume up/down keys and plugging in your usb. Make sure you have odin started. If that doesn't work try just holding volume down and then power until you see the downloading screen, then plug in your usb.

Hope that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
You can use One-Click Restore to JF6, and press and hold vol up + down key while you plug in USB cable.

If you see the dreaded computer screen, it means it can be saved!
[Captivate Android Development] love_xda_devs:
re: Phone ! Computer Screen

W/o battery in phone doesn't turn on. With battery in holding up/down and plugging in USB to phone gives phone ! computer screen instantly (holding it for a while doesn't change anything). Holding up/down and plugging USB into computer yields same result. Volume down + power same thing.

I planned to do exactly that but now I can't seem to get this thing into d/l mode no matter what I do. The volume up + volume down + power combo yields a phone ! computer screen that alternates with a black screen (maybe 5-6 seconds each). I have tried to let go of power after second black screen per other posts to no avail.

I appreciate all of your suggestions, still have a paper weight though.

Also, if this isn't the right place for this discussion I apologize, my main intention was to see if there was anything specific in this rom (which is awesome BTW - ran Doc's I9000 but the GPS / screen rotation thing was just too annoying to keep) that would alter the process because I read and tried pretty much everything else I could find here and on droid forums.
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
Obviously I didn't watch you do it, but from your reply, it sounds like you may have not followed the steps exactly. I've had that exact bork screen, you can recover:

1. UNPLUG PHONE

2. OPEN ODIN

3. DON'T PLUG IN PHONE YET

4. Take out battery

5. Take out SIM

6. Replace battery

7. Hold down BOTH the Volume Down button and the Volume Up button at the same time, no other buttons. You have to push both - it's not a rocker switch.

8. While holding Volume +/- down only, plug the USB cord into your phone

9. Poof...download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You may also need to reinsert battery in step 8....mine won't go into download without battery in
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
did you read over step 6?

;)
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Doh...that I did...lol...i was on break at work.....must have just been skimming over it....i have seen people say they do it without battery and I dont question them...mine just does not work that way....sorry for making myself look stupid :)
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
I kind of wish I had neglected to include that step so that I could come back with some smartass comment about finally understanding why I can't get my phone to come out of sleep.

To the PWOP (Person w/Original Problem?)...were you able to get yourself going again?
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
I may have said it before in this thread, but in case I haven't - thank you for putting this ROM out there! It's seriously the only one that suits my needs and my preferences. I may stray from time to time, but I always come back home to this ROM. I really like the attention to detail, down to the fact that this is the only i9000 ROM (that I've come across) that comes with both the TV-Out format preset to NTSC and the date format to MM/DD/YYYY as opposed to that awful European DD/MM/YYYY.

Anyway...thank you again.

EDIT: I somehow didn't even realize that I posted both of these comments in the same thread. I think I found the Download Mode post on a forum-wide search (I know, searching on XDA is forbidden!) and then turned around a replied to this thread again from the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
cant speak about tv-out as i dont use it but the date can be changed on any rom under settings-date and time-select date format
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
...

Yes, I know that. My point is it's "American" by default. It seems like he took the time to remove as much internationalization.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
LoL...............
[Captivate Android Development] love_xda_devs:
Still haven't been able to get it into d/l mode with this or any other button combos. I understand that some people's devices have problems that make button combos not work, but before the borking I WAS able to use them to get into recovery and d/l. I appreciate all of your advice and will keep trying until I get the equipment I saw in the HOWTO REF Get Download mode w/o 3 button (a mini usb board and a 301K watt resistor) I ordered last week. Apparently a lot of people have been having success with it.

I really don't want to swap this phone out because it was rocking sick quadrant numbers (like 2000+ on first attempt) and the GPS was working beautifully w/this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] vbhines:
I've searched but haven't been able to find whether there is any ADB shortcut to Download mode. Does anyone else know? I use to use

adb reboot bootloader

to get into fastboot. Will that work to get into Download mode? I'm not near a computer that I can run ADB on otherwise I'd check right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
adb reboot download

Working Beautifully

After forcing phone into d/l mode with 301K resistors (LOL) followed all instructions and is working beautifully on a USA Captivate.

- 850 band enabled

- lagfix / tweaks enabled

- extended menu and circle battery mod/theme WORKING

- Wifi WORKING

- GPS lock to 25M in 130 seconds in overcast skies surrounded by buildings

Awesome, TY!
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
SUPER ! Lagfix??

First Captivate ROM flash and went without a hitch. Love this ROM, and thanks for your work and all involved. This has trasnformed the Captivate.

1. Lagfix/tweaks: Is it a separate file...or ...??? I don't get this part. Do I just have to adb reboot and that's it, the lagfix is enabled? Nah..must be something I am missing.

2. Can one access the GPS menu? Any setting recommendations? My GPS is still slow and painful. :( This is a big deal for me.

Otherwise, love this stuff !!!

Thanks again !
[Captivate Android Development] love_xda_devs:
The lagfix /tweak options are under "Advanced ULK Settings" in Clockwork Mod. Boot into recovery either via 3 button method or adb reboot recovery.

As far as GPS, there are a TON of posts on here about it on the captivate.

Before adjusting any settings I'd go outside in good weather and run the tests from LBStestmode (search forum for info) to see how the hardware is performing. Unfortunately, some Captivates have hardware GPS issues. FWIW my GPS sucked stock, and works well (but not flawlessly) with this ROM.

Good Luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybercowboy372:
Hey guys. Just got a captivate a few days ago and I love it except for the gps. I was just wondering if the leaked build of froyo improves the gps at all and if its worth updating before they release the official one. If so, where can I find the latest version of the leaked build? Thank you for any help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
The leaked Froyo does not necessarily improve on GPS because many people don't have issues where many people do. Give it a shot and search different methods of changing your LBStestmode settings to see what works. Second, for me it was worth installing as 2.2 offers stuff you cant have on 2.1 such as the newer Gmail, flash 10.1 and other goodies. It is faster as well. Search the threads in the Dev section for different ROM's and how to flash. Ask questions about flashing after doing exhaustive searching because you will be able to find most answers in those threads.

x2...makes the phone 100x better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
I'm kinda on the fence about this as well. I should be getting my Captivate tomorrow and I have been doing a crap ton of research in the past few days. Everything I have read points to either the "Official Leaked Froyo 2.2" or the newest "Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.1". My only concern is the known issues that are listed on the Cognition website...

Is this true with both builds listed or just with the Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.1? I'm also completely new to Android being that I am a fomer iPhone junkie. So any help, how-to's, or info would be appreciated. In all honesty I was going to start here, youtube.com/watch?v=S9YnSVvfHpQ and if that wasn't successful go ahead and try Cognition. I'm just the type of person that likes to have things working properly and fast, like everyone else.

And for those wondering why I have been a member for over two and a half years and this is my first post, I have usually been able to find what I need and not had to ask questions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
I would point out that DesignGears has a perfectly rockin' cognition for eclair too. My first flash was 2.1.4 and it was amazing compared to stock eclair.

nothing really helps the gps, you either got it good, or not. (much research into that opinion btw.)

Cog 8.1+ is the shiz atm.

There's a couple of other froyo flavors also. I wouldn't go back to eclair at this point.

If nothin' else, it's a crap ton of fun flashin' and figuring stuff out. I'd do it just for that. :P

Not sure on MMS. I had no problems with it, but my numbers were already formatted without the parenthesis.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
The ability to do these type of things is what lead me to the Android platform over the iPhone OS, it's just too locked down even with it being jailbroken IMHO. I'm just basically looking for a point of refferance I suppose. Basically the things to do and not to do to the phone you know. For me it's more of a challenge because I'm learning something new. I don't know if it's because I'm not looking in the right places or what but it seems like step by step guides are hard to come by regarding this stuff.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
unless you use the i9000 ROM with captivate kernel, all Captivate Froyo builds are based off the captivate beta of Froyo.

It had a enough bugs that i rolled back to 2.1. Don't get me wrong, it is stable - but I figure i will wait for a more bug free beta to be the basis of my Froyo jump.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Not so much. You just gotta be patient and diligent. There's a couple of gems laying around but they are usually in the middle of a thread. The cognition thread for example. It's a beast to keep up with but given time you can digest most of what you need there. And there are plenty of links throughout that will clarify or intimidate as your experience and skill allow. Trouble is there's a TON of junk because people get impatient, or lazy I guess. Same questions, over and over.

I came to the captivate from a blackberry. Not much customization goin' on there. So as a stone noob, I read the cognition thread from post 1. All of it. I am a pretty confident android operator now. And I can't read nor write a line of code. In any language!

And you can too. Get busy, Grasshopper. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyRasa:
If you live on campus or rely on some sort of enterprise WIFI then go to froyo. Using eclair I could NEVER connect to the wifi at my school. It would say that I was connected of course but no data would transfer.

I switched to Froyo and haven't had problems since.

Also, my GPS is rockin!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
alphadog, what "bugs" did you have when using Froyo? And what you mentioned is a lot of where my confusion comes into play, "kernals and ROMs" are like greek to me and I have no idea what they are or what the difference is between the two.

Sulphur, thanks so much for the advice. I'm gonna go check out the Cognition thread now and see what I can dig up. That's really what I needed, just a starting point. I'm thinking as of now I will go with the latest Cognition build for a bit and see how that goes.

DirtyRasa, no campus here but I do rely on wi-fi pretty heavily. I use it at home all the time to cut down on charges to my bill for data usage, so that's good to know. Just curious though, are you using the leaked Froyo or the Cognition build? And if you have had both which one do you prefer?

cybercowboy, wasn't trying to jack your thread or anything but I was in search of the same info as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douglastheduke:
More power to you. I see tons of people on here less than a month with hundreds of posts more than me.

-->Back on topic. YES go with Froyo! There are many options available, but for noobs, i'd reccomend the either a DG ROM or the leaked and tweaked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybercowboy372:
Thats no problem mindburn. The more information the better. I actually flashed to the leaked froyo last night and so far so good. Gps is still horrible. I think im gonna try the cognition build tonight and see what I like better. Ill let you know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
Thanks man, almost sounds as though you are one step ahead of me actually. I get my phone tomorrow and I was going to actually try the leaked first and then cognition. Let me know how things turn out for you and I will in return do the same.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
So I got the phone yesterday and let me say, when I got it out of the box I knew I was going to like it. This damn thing looks sexy as hell! Anyway, 10 minutes after I got it I had successfully upgraded to the leaked Froyo and rooted the phone. Everything is going fine and I haven't had any problems thus far. It is at times a little buggy but I have learned that if I kill some of the tasks, the speed seems to improve. I thought about try Cognition today but when I load it up, I've only got the odin.exe, PDA.tar, & PIT.pit. Do I have to have CSC & ETC file mentioned in the program as well? Also, what exactly are these things, I didn't have to do anything like this on the stock Froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toawkanavngthded:
U should of done DG's AOSP beta 3! That's what I'm rocking and have had it for almost a month and its amazing! I wanted to use cognition but I read on ppl saying they had bugs or it just wasn't stable for them. But to each their own! Unfortunately when I last checked DG closed the thread on that ROM. Glad to know u got froyo going! I made the switch from an iPhone jailbroken to the captivate and it's amazing! I'm still new to android but u just gotta read everything and their r so many ppl who are willing to help!

Just a quick update for everyone, I am now running the latest Cognition 2.2 BETA 9.1.3. And I *MOD EDIT* love it! This thing is super fast now, pretty amazing really.

Like the best of the best kind of thing.

BTW Sulphur, thanks!

Root 1&1 Smartpad

Here is a way to root 1&1 Smartpad running on Android 2.2 (Froyo).

Many thanks to 'Kjeldor' @ tablet-user.de for the original German content.

The following apps are needed:

Superuser.apk

AnyCut.apk

z4root.apk

U may download the zip file from rapidshare (h**p://rapidshare.com/files/451128664/Root-Kit.zip) or attached below.

1. Copy the above mentioned APKs to the memory card

2. Go to Settings > Applications and enable 'Unknown Sources'

3. Install a file manager from the 1&1 Store (I installed Dual File Manager)

4. Now go to the SD card using the file manager and install 'Superuser.apk' and then 'AnyCut.apk'.

5. Start 'Anycut' and click 'New Shortcut'. Select 'Activity' then 'Development', and create a new short cut. This new short-cut named 'Development' (default name) will give you the access to 'Enable USB Debugging' option which is otherwise not visible from 'Settings > Applications'

6. Activate the 'USB-Debugging' from the new short-cut

7. Install and run 'Z4root.apk' application. Once it's up, click 'Permanent Root'. Make sure your Smartpad has enough battery and be patient (unless you want to brick your device !) till it reboots.

More info and pictures on Z4 root is here (w*w*w*.dkszone.net/root-galaxy-s-samsung-android-2-2-froyo-samsung-galaxy-tab-root)

8. Congrats, now you have root access !!!
