Best GPS You've seen!!! Wow, I'm kinda excited.

The Google navigation is one of the main reasons I have an Android phone (unfortunately found out about captivate GPS issues later).

I depend on the GPS for what I do and that would be great. Fortunately, I have access to better GPS, but definitely would be a plus.

Not to step on Toes here, but most of the problems we may see in DG's version has already been ironed out in Auxura...Haptic feedback and many others.

If DG and Master could somehow collaborate,borrow, combine...The best of all worlds would probably emerge.

Example, DG's work on Cognition is in my opinion "Unparalleled" for stability, speed and it just works.

Axura has what many consider to be the most visually stunning ROM there is. He also has been working on the I9000 roms for quite awhile and it is nearly perfect with the latest version, (not on GPS ).

It would be harsh for most to discuss all the problems or bugs in this rom without at least looking at the fixes in that ROM (individual fixes ins the zip file or posted on the thread).

DG...you are the bomb. Keep up the incredible work.
[Captivate Android Development] mchimney:
Thanks for the very quick response
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I did have a problem with ANdroid ID, it would fault out. I uninstalled it and then re-downloaded it from the market and re-installed. Worked perfectly
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
Also, when clicking to turn on flight mode it tries to start, but never finishes. I rebooted my phone and the airplane is in the notifications, but still does not say it is actually in flight mode... strange
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
YEah me too, I was going to flash MikyNike DOc........ then I see this......LOL

Couple of questions...Will NANDROID back this up? Why all of a sudden are people having SIM issues with the last two DG builds?

Loks like more beer money coming your way if this is a good one...Another $15 and that will be $100!! And well worth it,
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Just before you flash the ROM, make sure you unplug the usb cable from the phone. I had the exact problem and that fixed it for me
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
SO what I am reading is people with 2.3b6 are only disabling voodoo and using ROM manager to flash this?

Without going to JF6? Can this be good?

No JF6/ Master clear and re root neccesary?

Should we at least disable lagfix and Master clear 2.3b6 and install update?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Put your sim card in the right way :)

I have messed that up like 5 times, making sure I did it right, and I failed and didnt put in right, worth a shot!
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
Does the wired headset still not work in version 5?
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
good to use and recommended before each new ROM flash
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
Ugh I know I promised only one more question... But will it work if all I can get into is CWM?

Apologies for being a n00b!

But seriously thanking everyone whos helped me!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
From the recovery menu, you could use ADB, from the SDK tools, open a command shell in the SDK tools and type ADB reboot download. You must be in download mode to flash with Odin. This is done on your pc connected to your phone while your phone is in recovery mode.
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
Please help me with the random shutdown i'm having with built 4. When i bring my phone out from sleep, it gave me 2 vibrate then reboot to the blue eye screen. It happend quite often now, i'm running no lag fix and i limit voltage to 1 gig... please help me...
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Did you flash back to stock JF6 befor flashing build 4?
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
OK....

I disabled lagfix, flashed back to stock, upgraded to Build 5 (waited 10 mins), still had same issue. I then restored the APNs but they didn't seem to take immediately. Did a reboot ... when the phone was booting, it asked me again about the configuration has changed. I chose the first option (backup and restore). After the phone completed this procedure, it went to the bootanimation, which took a long time like the original (which I would assume to be normal based on the 'configuration change'). Upon completion of bootup, the APN was working, and then I did a sync with my google account.

After this, I was curious about the 'configuration change' message so I did another reboot. Upon reboot, I did not get the 'configuration change' message, but the bootanimation was again taking an awfully long time, and then I got the force closure vibrates (1 vibrate followed by 3 quick vibrates a few seconds later) and the phone stayed on the bootanimation and was completely unresponsive.

At this point, I pulled the battery, fired up Odin One-Click, flashed back to stock, then back to Build 4. I think I'll stick with Build 4 for a while. It was working good for me (except for something weird with the alarm, but that was fixed by changing the clock ... I like a different clock anyway, can't remember the name of it though).

I should also mention that I've tried Build 5 with the SIM card both in and out; neither way made a difference.

Another fact worth noting, which probably could be extrapolated based on the other people with the same issue, I am not using AT&T, I'm on TIM in Brasil. Just stating the trend that the people with this issue seem to all be on other networks.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
So only a few of us got "Kernel Panic" on P5 when charging with the power off?

Hopefully DG will rid of us Setiron Kernal and get that custom kernel made.......soon LOL
[Captivate Android Development] killeen1980:
Yes, I always do
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
When I installed the 1.4.1 kernel on top of build 4 I just wiped everything without restore (I can't remember exactly the words). It was a new flash anyways. I think that option may prevent a lot of troubles.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
I'm on 1.4.2 of Setiron and P4. No Kernel Panic when charging with the power off. Pretty sure this has everything to do with jfs + ext2 loops. I am sure dg will sort it out and let us know what the problem was.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I reverted back to 4 aqwith the same Setiron Kernel and no issues with charging. I only had the issue with a from stock load of Perception build 5 before ANY add ons or changes. Flashed three times and same issue. Something is not right with my battery and the ROM. A couple others mentioned it and it is well covered in the Setrion thread. I am sure it has to do with the Kernel hence "Kernel panic" LOL

DG is working on a DG CUSTOM kernel. Don't think we will be seeing Setrion kernels going forward . I will stay on 4/142 until that happens.
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
im on p5 and the kernel and can charge to 100% no problem (powered off)

if DG makes a Kernel i will swap!

I love your work DG!
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
been running v5 with no issues to report.

I am using the ext4
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yeah DG tested it on his phone last night and no Kernel Panic..so I finally got one of those few intermittent issues that cannot be called a 'bug" After over 15 flashes of different ROMS...i would say I am lucky.

I loaded up P4 with all the changes of P5 anyway. There is not a whole lot of differences once you install 1.4.2 And the Widget App and JM9....I think he changed the lag fix selection as well which I may or may not do since I am running well with low voltages.
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
Yeah, I was curious about that. When I originally installed Build 4, it did that option but I had none of the pre-installed apps that DesignGears had added (such as the Voltage Control app). Although, when I use the backup and restore option, I get those apps.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Ahh! that's why I had to install again voltage ctrl! :p
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
is JM9 in build 5?

i haven't flashed it like others are reporting because i am getting a great GPS lock with P5.

just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I think so. I flashed 4 with it and I am very happy with GPS...I even flashed my wifes COG 2.3B4 with it and got better locks.
[Captivate Android Development] android158:
My soft keys aren't lighting up anymore after I receive a notification like they were with p4. They were working great on p4 but once I switched to p5 the soft keys notification lights don't work.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
Since im ov ing my phone what are the real risk here like overheating? Burning up anything i need to be aware of?
[Captivate Android Development] brooklynguy1:
HUZZA!

Finaly after so many hours of issues got it working smoking fast . I flashed p5 then flashed the 1200 1.4.2 correct kernal fix from the thread loaded the rc2 version of voltage control again from their thread and boom did nothing else .

loaded it all up now running p5 smoking fast GPS accurate to 50ft according to maps program no freezes no closes no other fixes put in left everything as is except for those 2 changes that's it after a night of screaming . Not the fun kind either .

All is rite again in my little corner of COG world lol . Dam this rom is fast holy **** lol !!!

Thank You DG problem solved again !!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Have you tried enabling bln through clockwork recovery
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
+1, I've been wondering the same....
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
nope, recovery fully supports the different file systems, no need to disable it.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
since you just popped up in the thread...

whatcha got cooking for us!?!?!?!? :)
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...

But obviously now I have the world phone logo.... I guess we're good to go... time to reflash Build 5 :)

Thanks to everyone who helped me through a brick!! :D *hugs* to you all!
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
build 5 has the 1280 kernel?!

mine is kernel version SentiroNKernel_128_Ver #142
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Yep, thats the 1280 kernel alright. I know because my phone will lock up within 5 minutes of running it, I can only use the 1200 kernel. If you haven't locked up, you have a chip that can handle it.
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
perception 1 was sooo good to me that i never upgraded. is flashing 5 worth it? abouta go to stock. hmm
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Yes........
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
just flash through clockwork correct? no need to do some odin kernal-ing lol right?
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Read more before proceeding, especially the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
is wired bluetooth working on this rom with HSUPA?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes, bluetooth works well for me on build 3

Still holding off on 5 sounds like some issues related to the kernal. Some are suggesting DG is working on a custom kernal
[Captivate Android Development] pinballLooking:
Bluetooth is working.

What is wired Bluetooth?
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Some cars come with a bluetooth system pre-installed aka wired. Basically anything that is not a simple little device that goes on your ear. You can also play music via Pandora with these systems within your car with the the need of a FM transmitter.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Bluetooth works 100% hsupa works with it. Designgears should bold it and put it in the title of the thread. The jk3 modern seems to be the file we have ben waiting for.

wired headsets don't work for calls though so I'm not sure if that answers your question as bluetooth is a completely wireless technology

Also small error report fyi. The issue the pops up some times where the notification bar won't pull down which isn't a new issue seems to be happening much more frequently than previous rom i have used. Also the menu spot let will fail to launch the context menu on three home screen when this happens. Nothing a reboot doesn't fix. I know its a leaked rom so its a samsung thing but just letting you know in case you can find a fix

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have sync in my Ford. Phone calls work including dialing through sync, and I have played music via bluetooth audio
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I have seen several posts regarding the phone getting a kernel panic when you charge it while powered off. I was working on recalibrating my battery, so I charged to 100% with the phone turned off last night and left if at the 100% screen for about half an hour just to be sure it was indeed fully charged. I didn't have a problem. Is this something that requires more time to pop up? I'm running the 1280 version of the 1.4.2 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] womcs:
This is my second DG ROM flash. I went from stock to Cognition 4.0.0. That is a very good and stable ROM. I flashed it a couple weeks ago and loved it. Yesterday, I odin one clicked back to stock, did a master clear then flashed Perception 5. It took me 40 minutes to figure it all out. I had lots of trouble getting the odin master clear to run...hmmm.... I am still not sure what I did to get it to work. However, after flashing 5 I have had no problems. I restored all my apps and app data back with titanium backup (after first deleting my dropbox backup by syncing before a restore...oops!) as well as my sms and call logs. This rom is faster than cog 4.0. This ROM is stable. I have not tested batt life yet (batt life on 4.0 was VERY good). I have reset batt stats via clockwork recovery and am going to charge to 100%, power off, and charge to 100% again.

I recommend this ROM. I have not changed any oc or uv settings. I simply do not understand it. Is there a reason I should modify these values? I don't know what adb even is. Let alone how to run that script?!?

I was hesitant to update cog 4.0 to perception 5 because 4.0 was working so well.... but I am glad I did.

Thanks for sharing these ROMS DG!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I am running Build 4 with SetiroN's 1280 kernel with no problems to report. I didn't upgrade to Build 5 because I flashed the kernel through CWM previously when flashing build 4. I never let it boot up with the 1.3.5 kernel because of the possible corruption with the lagfix on that version. I ran the battery all the way down, I didn't let it shut itself off because I have read that on some of the I9000 ROMS there can be data corruption and then you need to reflash the entire ROM from scratch. Then I powered off and charged it to 100 %, when I powered it back on no Kernel Panic. Also, I unplugged the phone before flashing the ROM in CWM to avoid issue. Hope this helps anyone having issues. I am pretty meticulous with my flashing process to avoid problems and having to reflash. So far I haven't had any issues, oh and I am using the advanced jfs lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] womcs:
I have a question. I live in an area that has no 3G service. In fact, I barely have EDGE here in the house. If the phone is laying on a table, it will show 3 bars of service. However, as soon as I pick it up service drops to 1 bar and sometimes drops altogether. My question is there a "best' modem for edge on the captivate? If so, where can i get it?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
Hot d@mn, that'l save some time, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Adb is part of three development kit, is good if you like working in the command prompt or you borked something, it gives you remote accesses to system files .It isnt really needed with these phone that much if you have root explorer.

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Checking the change long on OP page, no, JM9 is not on any of the builds. FYI...in my case. JM9 is no better than just using Jupiter6 files loaded since Build 4. But apparently for some others, the JM9 helps.

By this, do you mean you can play music through your Blue Tooth to your Ford Radio w/o purchase of an FM transmitter, similar to a Motorola T505?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is correct, hit speak button, bluetooth audio, I can change songs using the controls in steering wheel, I can not tell the computer what track our album to play but I have never been able to do so. No additional equipment required
[Captivate Android Development] android158:
That fixed my problem. Thank you. What does bln stand for?
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
I believe it stands for back light notification.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Correct.

I also have Sync in my mustang....it's awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Yeah. It ain't gonna happen. Srsly, this is giving full permissions to ANY user/process in the system in /system/etc/init.d/ thus allowing ANY application to write to that folder. I could easily write a software that would create a init script to destroy your data and/or something else.

I know many of the folks here may not have too much knowledge of some of the inner parts of the system but everyone that suggests ANY modification in Unix level commands should be explain what it does...

There is a reason why *nix had root accounts for 40+ years and it was always good practice not to use it for day-to-day use.

I know I'm ranting but please guys, take every piece of advice with a buttload of salt. Sooner or later we're going to have someone suggesting a good ol' rm -rf / :(

EXACTLY that's what i meant by saying the problem is solved my phone couldn't handle the 1280 way to many freezes and fc's and an overall tremendous lagg to the point of being unusable so 1200 for me with p5 was the way to go
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Considering giving perception a try but I have a few questions.

Do I have to use to of/uv settings?

I understand the wired headset doesn't work for calls but does it respond to mic button clicks? I use this on my favorite media player to change tracks.

Finally, is the eBay.com force close bug present in the Tom?

Thanks all, I'm hoping the water is just fine :-)
[Captivate Android Development] bjabah:
Sweet, if I had a mac, I'd try that.... not. But I bet some do...

[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
This was off of the SentiroNs kernel forum.

The best fix is to"set on boot" find the file in system/etc/init.d S_volt_scheduler

rename it S_98_volt.sh

it will work

if someone wants to write a program to destroy my data then they can, and trick me to use/ DL it. folks are paranoid. always be careful what you DL. i use Linux at home and am not worried about malicious programs.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
1. No you don't have to use the OC/UV settings.

2. No, it does not work to skip tracks or anything.

3. Yes, ebay.com still vibes and closes for me at least.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Thanks for the response and ignoring my typos. I have fat thumbs :-)
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
hmm anybody experience this? it'll randomly change your system structure to a different setting and theres no way to get past the "different config" screen unless you change the file structure again, which then your apps are all still installed but none of them are usable or visable?
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
The jfs +ext2 lagfix setting is what DG enabled by default on Build 5. He explained why in the updated OP, but was that also pertaining to the overkill option which is also enabled by default? I disabled the overkill setting in the advanced lagfix menue b/c I was running out of room in Dbdata (I have a lot of apps). Anyone know why the overkill setting was enabled by default? I haven't had any problems since disabling it, just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I had to go there to see for myself. Is it wrong that it made me laugh when eBay.com killed my browser?
[Captivate Android Development] Zeimus:
I seriously couldnt get past this when I tried build 5.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
When I got the first prompt upon installing Build 5, I immediately chose Recover from that Config has changed menu, and changed it to a=e4. That was what I had with build 4 and it worked beautifully for me, so I stuck with it.
[Captivate Android Development] scoliosis:
You probably have your email hooked up to your smartphone right? What about someone putting a script on it that will mail the secure database that keeps all your passwords/keys to someone. They get into your mailbox and if it so happens to be your primary email that gets paypal/bank/financial/etc... emails, they go onto the bank, say forgot password and emails to your email address. They take that, login to your bank and take all your hard earned cash.

Would that be a scenario to think about?
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
i know that, but something is triggering my filesystem to change settings, which then prompts the config change screen when i reboot. the worst part of all is, this has happened to me a few times, and i'm probably on my 6th time flashing cog 5 (the last time i flashed it i rebooted frequently to see if i could pinpoint the problem)

i havent been able to reproduce the problem, but it has happened to me quite a few times now...

so its not just me then.. >__>
[Captivate Android Development] womcs:
Yes! This happened to me on last reboot. Went to rfs, jfs, jfs, jfs to jfs, jfs, jfs, jfs and then all my apps were gone! I freaked, then installed tibu and restored apps and data and got everything back except widgets and wallpaper settings. hmmm... it was quite weird and i hope it doesn't happen again!!!! Also, my phone was sitting idle and all of the sudden started playing a song from my music collection. I had not played any music since the above happened either. I came over to the phone and pulled the notification bar down and the music stopped. I have no idea what app was playing the music. hmmm. Any more glitches like these two and i am going back to Cognition 4.0!
[Captivate Android Development] womcs:
My DbData is about full too! What is Dbdata and how to I clean it up or make it larger?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Well....I gave Build5 another go today....Looked at my root files through recovery at work and noticed a lonely build 5 zip sitting in the root dir. So what the hell....4th time a charm? I decided to flash it over 4 again.........and did so thinking I would bork the phone and have to go back to stock when I got home........

. The issue I was having was a phone off charge turning into "a Kernal Panic" screen when reaching a charge of 100%.

I figured the phone would bork with an on the fly flash without disabling any lagfix, but it did not. I then loaded all the goodies I had in the root using CW and Sentirons 1.42 1200corrected....

came home took a cooking and charged battery out of the charger , put it in the phone and put the wall charger on it looking for the "Kernal Panic"

Low and behold this "dirty" flash seesm to have worked. The issue with Kernal Panic is gone and the ROM is performing well

Another $20 coming your way DG......Confirmation number: 06C5699181681815P

I got to thinking about the eBay bug. As a temporary workaround, I grabbed the Browser.apk from MikeyMike01's ROM. It has a setting to change the UA string. Just change it to desktop and the full eBay site works great.
