My friend that works for AT&T says that's supposedly they are supposed to update on November 26th but like everyone else I hear dates alot and have stopped holding my breath... Im looking forward to the flash 10.1 in froyo see what more I can do with my phone online its already taken the place of my laptop for reading my morning tech blogs so I can get up and go.
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:
Tbh I rarely use flash for anything except maybe a few engadget videos. But I do use my phone more than anything now.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
I don't understand why you're so butt-hurt. Just flash one of the 2.2 ROMs, there are plenty to choose from and they all make the phone experience 100x better.

[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
well isnt this just dandy.... :/
[Captivate General] sclRanger:
You can play angry birds now on 2.1.
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
take this with a load of salt..

from samsungmobileus twitter on Nov 11th...."we are working on Froyo update for our US Galaxy S phones. It will be available this year. " :rolleyes:

here is the post http://twitter.com/SamsungMobileUS/status/2818439500533760
[Captivate General] jatkins09:
Seriously? Another thread speculating on the froyo release date? You said it yourself... there's a whole development section that has plenty of froyo for you. If you just wanted to use the software your carrier provides, you should have gotten an iphone. :)
[Captivate General] d1g1talphyre:
I also work at AT&T and i've heard no such date as to when the official 2.2 roll out is going to happen.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
yeah if you here a date it is unofficial and subject to change at any moment, usually it will get delayed not pushed up. the att reps i have talked to are kept in the dark until the release day in most cases. the truth is that att is quite lazy.

back in september when we all thought a froyo release was coming soon i spoke to a samsung engineer who quoted "we are working on the froyo update around the clock" and "the wait should not be unusually long" well the lanuage hes used of "working around the clock" put my expectations around november. now who knows.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Bluetooth voice dialing. Bluetooth sound quality is bad on i9000 kernels used on the captivate.
[Captivate General] k0sun7eash3d:
Even when the official 2.2 update comes out, I honestly don't see myself, or a lot of the xda community switching over to it. With DG doing great work on the Cog builds and a lot of people following in his footsteps to provide us new roms, the official Samsung and ATT approved updates will always be just mediocre at best.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Same here...which is why I am seriously looking at this...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836243..If for some reason the official version doesn't come out by Thanksgiving...I'll most likely root it and flash the latest Cog rom out at that time.

Mac
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
As soon as it comes out DG will makea new and better cog rom with it. With one click root and his roms with rom manager it's about as easy as you can get to put custom roms on your phone.
[Captivate General] Radukk:
Galaxy S in South Korea just got official 2.2 on last week from Samsung

and it have many problems.

Browser zoom in-out became more iPhone style, not realtime rendering but shows check-boxes first. Scrollbar disappeared. System performance is bit laggy even worse than leaked builds. I think they still testing more new features that are totally unnecessary. Many people just rolled back to 2.1 or 2.2 leaked custom ROMs. I do not understand why they do not just calibrate stock froyo little bit to work in Galaxy phones and put them in.

And I do not expect to see usable 2.2 for Captivate in this year.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Why wait. I'm betting we don't see an official update until well after the holidays.

Swyping...please read slowly!
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Still researching it actually. Finding out exactly what needs to be done to my phone is a big must for me.Having to read 1000+ pages is a daunting task when you are looking for particular things..like what works..what doesn't..what modem do I need..you know..the usual stuff. I am still unsure if I need a different modem with it since I am in St.Louis..not over seas..and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I am looking for when I check and see if the 850 band is there..like maybe a screen shot of it..but I don't want to clog that thread up anymore than others have.

Mac
[Captivate General] double RL:
you can seriously just one click root your phone and then install rom manager and flash the latest cog rom. It's prepackaged to do everything out of the box. the whole process takes five minutes. you'll feel like your phone just morphed into a whole new device. easy and painless.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Do you have to wipe the phone before installing cognition rom?
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
Check out the thread...
[Captivate General] fldude99:
What thread
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
No it's not required but it is recomended. Most of the folks that have problems of one sort or another haven't done a "clean install". it only takes a few extra minutes to master clear, oneclick stock, and then root.
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
The cog thread.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Sorry to side track this wonderful thread..but if you are already stock..JH7 and haven't flashed any custom rom..why does one need to one click stock ? I've not quite ever understood this...:o

Mac
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
To tell you the truth I don't really know why some folks have problems, it may just just be left over associations with apks you have had on your phone ( don't really know a whole lot about the android OS ). I have had some problems with custom roms in the past and I read a post that suggested the master clear, then stock, then another master clear. I don't do the last MC but I haven't had a bad flash since I started doing clean installs. YMMV.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I understand if you have flashed different roms the need..but..if you are already stock as I am and haven't flashed anything as yet..why the need to flash a stock rom. Is it because of the differences in the US based JH7 stock rom ? Are all of these roms based from Europe or Asia and we have to do this to make them work ? I am just trying to understand why the need to replace the stock rom I already have that works great except for the gps.

Mac
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
I'm not sure anybody could answer that with perfect certainty, sometimes installs go wrong, it seems to happen less often if you start from scratch from my observations in my limited time here. Not every phone is exactly the same, you can see that here in battery life, GPS accuracy and benchmarks on phones that are set up identically.

You can do what you please with your phone and install right over the top of what you have, I was just trying to point out that folks that had have problems go back and start clean to fix them. Why not just start clean and not risk having to do the work twice.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Isn't JH7 a clean version ? This is what is on the phones now. I guess I'll post my question on the cog thread or anyone else can answer me. Thanks for your help though

Mac
[Captivate General] ryude:
Official roms are horrible anyway, just wait for CyanogenMod. Now that's something worth waiting for :D
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I hate to differ..but mine isn't really horrible...not in the least. I don't have the lag issue with it,just a gps issue,so my phone is pretty responsive all around.There are several features I want from a 2.2 rom on it though..but I'm still hesitant to just flash what is out since all have some type of issue with them. Yes..I know CM6 is a excellent rom since it is built from the ground up..at least the version was I had flashed on my Sprint Hero was anyway..From what I have been able to read though..the latest incarnation of it is nothing more than a ported I9000 version and has quite a few major bugs,so I am waiting like many others for the source code to get put out and a correct build since I need my phone to work 100% every day.

[Captivate General] secretasianman:
I want my GPS to work.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Working GPS is not a "froyo feature," it is a moto, htc, sony, {insert a brand here} feature...
[Captivate General] mjduke:
Isn't the gps issue just with a certain batch of devices? I picked mine up 3 weeks ago and the gps has been pretty much spot on. Not sure if out makes a difference but it's on Rogers here in Canada.

I'm assuming my Tab has the same gps unit, though running 2.2, and it's been 100% for the 6 hours I've had it too.

Maybe I'm lucky, but I hope this gps issue isn't turning people off of a great phone. I find it pretty darn quick on 2.1.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Does it maintain a lock in a trip
[Captivate General] secretasianman:
Yes you're right. It's not a Froyo feature... but aren't they claiming a fix will be included in the Froyo update?
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Rogers changed some gps files from the att version of the rom. Theres been a bunch of people flashing stock Rogers, or just pulling modem.bin from it and pushing it on to their device.
[Captivate General] pachukomendez:
I don't know that's all he had told me. Could be just be read it some where and said it was a higher up saying it. Like i said I won't hold my breath for that date.
[Captivate General] skippyg:
Ever since I updated my cappy to jh7 or w.e my has been great while driving And everything its been about two weeks. Only issue is it takes a minute to lock on
[Captivate General] mjduke:
Fattire - yes it maintains a lock while walking, in the car, bus. It just works.
[Captivate General] Yuna:
so... on rogers rom we have fully working gps? can someone post a files changed there?

or the changes are in the modem?
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Could be. They claimed a fix was in the JH7 update too, though they seemed to go back and forth about whether the fix was actually included. There are good indications that the Rogers Captivate may have a fixed GPS. My GPS worked well for a long time (over 2 months), though just in the last few weeks it has gotten pretty bad. I used to always get a lock within seconds, now it can take minutes. I am still hoping for a permanent fix, but not counting on it. In the meantime I have read that clearing the cache seems to help for awhile.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Fixed my issue. Sorry for the unessesary post!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
​

So I decided to have a go at making all sliders Metro/WP7 style.

Maybe some people out there will appreciate this. I have also included my custom lock screen, which is just a modified version of the default Windows one.

​

All tabs have been modified as you can see from the screenshots.

Attached Files...

Metro Slider Icons - This is just for the main Sense tabs; Home, Email, Contacts etc etc.

Metro System Sliders - This is for all other sliders; Contacts, Clock, Footprints, Twitter, Media etc.

Lock Screen - The lock Screen. All files needed are in the cab. Please make sure you have any other lock screens removed before you install this. You need the default lock screen on for this to work.

Transparent Bottom Curtain - Makes Sense bottom curtain transparent (does not effect other system sliders).

Metro Blue Slider - Metro Blue Slider as requested (both sense slider and other system sliders).

Metro Slider Icons +Transparent Curtain - Same as default one but with a transparent bottom curtain.

Restore Stock LockScreen - Restores stock LockScreen

Slider Fix - Fixes verticle lines on some roms on the slider.

This works on my 1.72 Stock Rom, haven't tested it on any others. - Also works on Stock 3.14 Rom

Feedback, comments and pointers are very welcome!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
They LOOK fantastic I think I have just found my new Slider. :)

One small request could you make the slider bar transparent?

Actually

Two small rquests could you also make the selector box around the slider icons blue. RGB 0,158,255 fits with the metro theme.

I have attached Grabs to show something similar, tho this theme is no where as complete as your. and I managed to edit the slider to my taste, but I don't think I could complete a full theme yet.

**

The welcome/lock screen is by Cendaryn

My edit to have the six icons on it, hope he dosen't mind to much.

What do you think. Trans slider and blue box. Hope you can, thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hd945157206:
Very beautiful i like thx u by the way Artemis rom can run it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
hi, I tested the sliders and I report you some bugs:

-in almost all tabs I have the graphic bug you see in attached pic

-lack of new icons such as documents and programs tab

The tab is nice, hope theese bugs could be fixed and maybe get the slider bar transparent :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
I have attached 2 more cabs, 1 for transparency and another one for metro blue slider.

Thats a strange graphical bug, maybe the transparent bar will fix it?

If you can provide manila files of these missing tabs I can make update it to include those. I will also try and find these files on XDA, as I don't have those tabs myself.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
I attach a Programs Tab standalone cab I found (disable sense-install,-soft reset-enable sense), if you need for tests.

and here's a thread about document tab.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614125&highlight=document+tab

Hope can help it, those tabs are both included in latest Artemis ROMs ,so I don't know if what I linked here works or is useful to you

EDIT: transparent cab does not work for me (manila 2.5.20) , could someone else report about this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Fixed the transparency Cab, re-download and re-install. My bad on not converting the file to QTC.

Working on other tab icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Install this addon to see if those icons change now to suit. If they do I will then re-cab the complete file again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
how can i make the lockscreen work on my fuze

ive tried to edit the cpr file but it never saves it correctly

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
What are you trying to edit and in what way doesn't it save right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
Ok, now the transparent cab works, I can see the new document tab icon when I am on another tab, but when I switch to the document one is displayed the stock icon :confused:

you're on the way , just another adjustment and will be perfect :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
trying to just save it as 480x640

but it wont save ..saves it as 480x800 still
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Ah yeh, found another icon for the selected tab.

Attached updated cab.

Does the programs tab work ok?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Strange, it should work no problems, cant test it myself.

Open the CPR file in notepad and edit the first line of text to suit, then you MIGHT need to rename the file as well to LS_LockScene_480x640.cpr

Not enitely sure if that would work. Remember to reboot your device.

/apologises if that's what you already tried!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
ok when i do that it saves it as a text file

ok i got it finally lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
thanks, you got it! working good now :) .

Can't say about programs tab cause I've not yet updated my ROM, so I have only documents tab at the moment, but if this work, it should also that one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dub027:
The slider looks great, nice work.

Now a question off topic: I'm using CHT 2.0 and like the metro look a lot.

I cant get the lockslider to look alike, can you help me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
You need to edit these files:

htc_LS_LockSlider.png

htc_LS_LockSlider_Dwn.png

htc_LS_LockSliderLong.png

htc_LS_LockSliderLong_Dwn.png
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dub027:
tnx, I'm not that great of a designer/moderator, is a cab with just the slider image changed possible?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
found out ~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
hi, could you please make one only cab for slider+new tabs icon+transparency
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Thanks for the blue slider, I didn't realise there were different ones for either level of the home screen, Cheers.

Also I didn't realise how **** my desktop looked with all those blue icons, gone back to plain white circle loos a lot better on the black background.

PS any chance of changing the colour of the numbers on the calendar icon to white? or maybe an explanation on how to and I could give it a go myself, all ways good to learn.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Will work on that tomorrow.

I have looked high and low to find a solution to this, and cannot find the right file to edit... :mad: I personally want to remove the number from the slider.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Thanks for the answer. I to will try a lot of hunting, checking out other peoples sliders and try to find the answer. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Tried this to edit the Lock Slider on it's own, discovered these four files as well.

LS_LockSlider.png

LS_LockSlider_Dwn.png

LS_LockSliderLong.png

LS_LockSliderLong_Dwn.png

Lock slider still not changing even after editing all eight file.

Do you know if these are part of CHT or just back ups of the HTC files?

I'll pop on over to CHT thread and ask there. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
I really dont know. ALl i know is those 4 files are the ones used for the default lock screen. As long as your not using a CHT lock screen, and still use the default one, it shouldn't be a problem i would have thought.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Added to first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Problem Indeed [Solved]

I am using CHT lock screen! That would be the problem right there!!

Found the files to edit though, CHT Manila files.

7A4563E2_manila and 26082591_manila
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Not a Problem

Thought I would show the results of the edit to the files above.

:confused::cool::confused::cool::D

Just need to clean and tidy the images now. (back to it later need to get some paid work done. lol)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Nice one. Let you said, clean up the images and your sorted!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
thanx a lot :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Now with improved images

Thanks for the feed back.

I have done a little work on the lock slider images for CHT

I used CFC GUI to transfer them to the phone just incase someone else wants to try it to.

replace these images with the ones in CHT cab then transfer to phone using the above program.

7A4563E2_manila

26082591_manila

remember to extract and back up the original ones.

Happy moding.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kikisp:
how can i return to original lockscreen? uninstalling your cab does nothing..i lose lockscreen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
Strange, When I uninstalled it, it restored the default one.

I have attached a cab to the first post that should restore it for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
are there issues with the slider background? see my screenshot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spider_pm:
moin

super ... I have really liked your style and I have it implemented on my HD2 ...

me what is missing ... you look the screen also adjusted, but that's just the standard look-screen ...

You can also look in cookie-slider-home-tab editor 2.0 on the settings: unlocking Layout - Customize your Windows? there is still the normal look-slider ...

so I can use it with non chteditor ... I include the normal schwaz / white (not blue)

maybe you or anyone have an idea - how can I close the last part of my puzzles ...

thanks for the trouble you've had already ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Check post #4 it may help you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
If I understand you correctly you are asking how to get this lock screen to work in CHT v2.0

It will not work! this mod only affects the standard original lock screen.

Yo need to a little bit of extra work all on your own to have this available in CHT the files it uses are different.

you need to edit the files 7A4563E2_manila and 26082591_manila

to change the lock screen slider in CHT.

I will not discribe the whole process unless this does answer you question.

let me or the [op] know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
same here with the "sistem sliders", If you fully enlarge the attached pic you can see the same thin vertical lines , and (as happened for yhe main slider) the selector shows the stock icon instead of the metro one.

this was about the "main slider" (now fixed), it looks that the same bugs are in the "system sliders".

PS: any progress in making ALL sistem sliders in metro style?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Sorry

@ jjollyroger

Not getting any of the banding issue on my phone I did not reallise these were seperate issue.

I presume (maybe wrongly) these stem from the same root issue, non-compressed images used in the background file. or as [op] said he forgot to convert to QTC.

But now that you have me looking through all tabs, (I don't normally use the twitter tab) I have discovered I too am show stock icons with some of the system icons see attached.

Would like to offer help in finding solution to [op] but don't know that much about manila file yet. Will try to though and post back.

Thanks for the quick reply, yes, I thought me and you got it right. Unfortunately I can not do something myself and am on the great work of those who can rely ...

well ... let's see, maybe I find something that comes close ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
With regards to the bottom curtains producing verticle lines, I cannot explain. As it doesn't do it on mine, and I checked each file and they are fine...so a bit confused as to that!

The Music Icon should be included. I have it set on my device and checked that manila file is infact included in the cab, and it is.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I have found the files and updated the Metro System Sliders Cab, re-download and re-install.

I don't use Twitter so didn't know, but thanks for pointing these out! Let me know how it goes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForgetfulGuru:
Thanks

@ MalekoUK

Your a gem thank you very much for the new cab.

[edit] Still got icons missing in the twitter app tab see attached images[/edit]:confused:

I have found an answer to your text colour on the date icon, if you still need it.

I will write it up and post if for you.

BTW. the music icon is showing on my phone. before and after the new cab install.
