Sorry to be the millionth to ask but..

I searched this thread a bit but I'm unsure how to install this Perception ROM. At the moment I'm running a rooted captivate with the "unleash the beast" mod. That's all I've done. My questions are:

1.) Do I need to flash to stock to install this Perception ROM? If so how should I go about that.

2.) How the heck do I install the Perception ROM? :confused:

3.) Do I also need to install the kernel? And if so, how?

I'm really sorry if this info is already posted somewhere on page 200 or something of this 300+ page thread but I tried searching both the thread and on google for the right steps, Id just rather do it correctly the first time and feel you guys are the best group to consult. Also, if it matters, I don't have an Sd card installed in the add-on slot.

I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give. :cool:

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] CanuckinPA:
That worked -- Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] CanuckinPA:
I used as the Flash Cognition Guide today -- it's at ponak.net. I can't post the link because I'm a noob! :mad:

I didn't install the kernel.

I got rid of UTB and flashed back to stock using Odin, then rooted using Samsung Captivate One Touch (search for both). Then flashed the Perception download.

The one thing I did incorrectly was backing up with Titanium Backup. Thought I had my apps backed up -- oops! :eek:

Good luck

Download the ROM and put it on your Internal SD card.

Download ROM manager from the market

Run ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery

Run ROM manager and install ROM from SD card

Check Wipe Data & cache

select zip from internal sd card
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
THANKS - just what I wanted to know - helpful also, since on the next release, I will NOT add in jpsgm without significant testing first.

Im having the same exact problem. It seems like something is force-closing right before you get a text. I can't get it to work right. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution? PLEASE!!! Its super annoying :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I once thought the same thing, but now I am addicted to it. I hate it when buttons done have haptic feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Good thing is I am on the OC version. Today at work I charged to 100% 3 times. Never got a lock.

Problem Adding Exchange Account

I've tried P7 twice now, with the same result. I can not add my company's corporate Exchange account. When I attempt to do so, I get a "can not connect to server". I am looking at logcat and see no error messages, nor any relevant debug or verbose messages. I've tried this on my 3G connection and on Wifi...same result

I reverted to stock first for both installs, before installing P7. Anyone else having difficult adding an Exchange account? I tried both OC and non-OC versions.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
So when is 8 coming out? I want to flash a new ROM all ready. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] silverh20:
Thanks for the info, i followed your instructions 100% and didn't see any errors but... nothing seems changed at all? How do I know I performed it correctly?

Should i have done something when it rebooted the 2nd time into recovery mode? All i did was select reboot. should i have done rebuild packages?
[Captivate Android Development] jrior001:
Some people like the audible sounds when they type and others live/work in an environment where the noise is annoying or unacceptable. Haptic serves the same purpose as the sound without everybody around knowing you are typing.... Just my 2¢ for all the haptic haters!
[Captivate Android Development] it2swbrown:
I have had issues in the past in my cappy adding exchange accounts through the stock account setup. I installed Touchdown and have never had an issue setting up an exchange account. I setup about 4 accounts per day walking customers through the setup on their androids. Maybe it is an issue with the stock setup.
[Captivate Android Development] it2swbrown:
Sorry forgot to quote when I posted.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
You're the 2nd person I've seen recommend Touchdown today. Maybe I'll take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
You should only have to reinstall packages once, so do that if you haven't already

Cannot Hear Ringer - P7

Is anyone having problems not hearing the incoming volume ring on non-OC P7?

I've checked the volume level and tried several different ringtones to no success.

The phone is definitely not set on silent mode. Heck, I don't even get a vibe notice.

No issues with incoming text messages --- I can hear those notices just fine.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
First ring I notice it is very low compared to stock rom. After that is it nice and loud.
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
I just flashed P7 and I'm getting a "Convert System partition... systems not available" at boot splash and then it sits forever. Any idea what is wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
It's quite strange. I back tracked a bit and froze Netquin Mobile app via TiBu and now all is good.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Did you flash stock first? If not try that...
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
Come on devs. They have just created a rom for Droid eios using 2.3 sdk. It should be soon that the cappys should have one.
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
I didn't, but I am now... So much work haha!

[Captivate Android Development] silverh20:
Thanks halfsoul for the extra step and thanks jhernand1102 for the intial steps. so now that ive installed that, what next? btw im installing the software update from the settings menu too, i hope i didnt just pull a "no-no", i guess ill find out :cool:

Not sending messages?

I just flashed Perception 7 (non uv/oc), and I've been having this problem where my phone doesn't send messages periodically. It shows that I have signal, but whenever I click send, it says "Message not sent" . If i keep trying, it will go through eventually ...any reason why?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No don't install the update from the settings menu..that could mess up things.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Just what I needed. Thanks.

Voltage Control ????

I have been attempting to run VoltageControl_1.98b and I just get a black screen with 7-non-oc-uv version, so I am guessing that this version has only fixed voltage. Is this true - the confusion is that several suggested that we can lower the voltages to increase battery life. Thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
uhm the rom is called non-oc-uv for a reason... means undervolting is not enabled on this rom, hence voltage control will not function properly... you need to download the oc-uv version.
[Captivate Android Development] silverh20:
ya it didnt even work anyway. so now that ive got this perception installed, now what? whats the best way to take advantage of this?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Nevermind. I am an idiot and cjose the wrong keyboard. Gonna try it out some.more.

Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
How is it? Compared to stock 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
charging death killing me and my battery life too...

my battery goes down 5% every 30 mins...

its crazy...

voltage control settings are

-50

-75

-100

-100

-125

-125

Anyone having gps problems. Mine is not locking. I know someone else posted about gps.
[Captivate Android Development] tyc0:
Sorry if this has been posted but with P7, I can't backup with CW, it says 'E: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument) E: signature failed. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Sir Unimaginative:
Actually, the APN menu still force-crashes under the non-OC/UV kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
GPS is spotty so its not a problem its an issue nothing todo with the rom/kernel
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
If you still having FC's

odin back to stock / then flash Build 5 if you have it..

if not wait for afew hours or tomorrow might have something new out

that fixes all these issues
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
The official froyo release will basically render all of these rom's useless. I wonder when devs will stop updating there leaked froyo hacks and just wait for the official release to mod. Maybe the gingerbread release will keep you guys busy but I am assuming there will be even more problems porting that over. Oh well. Thanks for the kernel dg.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
So we can have a continually better experience with our Captivates instead of giving up and waiting for the final release, which is unscheduled. There ROms WON'T be useless because DG will just recreate them on top of the new final Froyo base. And continually make it better. By your logic he'd stop after official Froyo and either wait for Gingerbread or buy a new phone with new updates and dev for that. So no... it's not right
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Its obvious by that 1 statement that you dont have the XDA blood flowing through you. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, and some companies have even used fixes that have come from XDA members. Please refrain from trolling up the tread in the future.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Its good..multi touch enabled but buttons look a bit smaller that stock 2.2 but worth giving a shot its good overall...

+1 for stopping trolls from thread :p
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
This might be a dumb question, but if you wanted to undo this battery mod back to the original that it came w/ on Perception, how would you do that?
[Captivate Android Development] javierationmex:
Will we be seeing Build 8 tonight?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Flash Stock Animations from OP, it will replace the framework with the original.
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
That would be awesome:D. But then again I don't want to rush perfection.
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
I'm new to flashing and don't know many abbreviations. Could you explain what OP is?

Battery Life

I had the charging death a couple of times on oc/uv version of p7, so I decided to give the non oc/uv version a try. I don't really notice enough lag to justify the extra stress on the device anyway. Got it all loaded and restored the way that I had it. After about a day, I decided to disable the BLN. Not really sure why, just did. My battery life doubled at least!

I charge daily, so it's not that big of a deal to me, but I thought I'd post for anyone who is chasing the longer battery life thing. :)
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
I also had to disable BLN to get a longer battery life. The BLN wasnt really that important to me, it was nice but not that important.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I use NoLED and I have it set to dismiss notifications with the proximity sensor. That way, if the phone is in my pocket, or I place it face-down, notifications aren't shown on the screen and wasting battery life. But, if my phone is just sitting somewhere (like on the charger) where I may not hear the notification, I know I have a message next time I look at it. :)

GPS Problem

I have a situation and for all I know it has just started. I am at work in Monroe, LA and was about to set nav on phone to head out of town. The funny thing is that the phone says that I am in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Now as far as I know I cant be in two places at one time, or could I. LOL. Before this the GPS was pretty accurate with accuracy of between 15 and 25 meters. No real big deal, I have nav in car, was just wanting to test the phone on open road. Just a heads up for DG and other DEV's.
[Captivate Android Development] adius1234:
my auto-rotate does not work, how i can solve it, i'm a new comer, thank
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I am using non OC non UV version. So no voltage app.

38 hours now and still 21% left. :):cool:
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Make sure it's turned on. If it is, and it still doesn't work, you need to flash back to stock and start over. I've had P7 with both CogKernel2 and now SetiroN's kernel, and auto-rotation is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] acrazzyhobo:
So just making sure.... the oc version will kill the phone when charging? And the non-oc is just normal no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] warren.todd@gmail.com:
well a day later teh Non OV/VU version works best for me on capitivate woke this AM with no phone shut off,it was on n running a live wallpaper so it didnt free either,i will use it heavy today post battery stats and stability,so far teh non OC verion is best for me,thanks DG your rockin again with this version.

If its stable i`ll use this till the official Gingerbread comes to teh Captivate =P

Captivate screen keeps cycling!

So I installed Perception (7 - non-o/c) yesterday, and so far love it. I'm having extremely obnoxious issue though... its *killing* my battery... the screen won't stay off in stand-by... it keeps turning off and on again. I've power-cycled the phone and had no luck.

Has anyone seen this issue? I haven't found it anywhere in any forums...
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I am seeing the opposite. I would flash to stock and retry. Make sure you flash after battery is 100% charged.
[Captivate Android Development] ebarth1:
Well, there's only one way to find out... I just remembered that I may have installed the non-o/c release atop the o/c one when it didn't work.... I can't remember if I flashed to stock in between... I'll try this one again once I'm at 100% batt and report back.

Thanks much!
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I had an issue where the screen would turn back on within 10s after shutting the screen off with the button.

It would then wait 60s for auto-turn off.

Was this what you had? I had this with perception build 5 and also an early Mikey port of Docs ROM. If I could guess it was an incompatible app interferring with it... didn't investigate
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Did you flash a non-reoriented kernel? The only time I have seen this behavior is when I tried to use a normal captivate kernel on a i9000 rom. If you are coming from Cognition or the like, you MUST use the kernel included with this ROM.

I would flash back to stock and do a do-over, with a master clear thrown in for insurance. Or if you are brave, flash the non-OCUV kernel alone and see if it solves the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Loved the rom untill... messaging system kept FCn on me, so I thought to myself just reboot. NOOOOO! So the phone was taking a little longer to start, whatever, when it did start I receieved "Internal SD Card Damaged" AHHHHHH! After fiddling with the phone for 2hrs, have no idea what I really did, the card came back but was formated so I lost my backup. Luckly I found Ondin3 to flash myself back to stock. Talk about a scary night since this was my first rom. Running Cog b6 right now. Going to flash back to stock and try ver 7 again... I'm scared hold me mommy.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
That doesn't conclusively point to BLN as the cause of battery drain. Since you were moving or moved the setting was different. Any number of factors changed and could now be your cause, such as differing cell and wifi signal as a couple off the top of my head.
[Captivate Android Development] adius1234:
i'm new comer and i just follow some youtube guide

my i897 is original 2.1 rom. now flash to this oc uv rom through rom manager

first root it and backup the rom, and use rom manager to install this build

is it some step or file i'm missing to do?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Sorry I'm new so I have to ask. Is the kernel included in the zip or does that have to be applied another way? If so, how?
[Captivate Android Development] Con_Valian:
I had this same issue. I had to reflash to fix it. It was just a bad flash in my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] petrichor8:
button backlight seems to shut off & stay off

on cog 2.3b6, the button backlight would turn on anytime I scrolled or interacted with the screen, and stay on for about 15 seconds before shutting off, but as stated, interacting with the screen (usually through scrolling/attempted scroll), turn back on. I've noticed with perception 7, that one they turn off, you have to press one of them to get them to light up again...is there a setting/fix for this to have them act like they did on cog? It's annoying to have to press the buttons in low light & hope that I've pressed the right one, and not the 'search' when I wanted to press 'home', or 'home' when I wanted to press 'menu'.
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
No fix. I too wish they acted the same way they did before...
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
The Kernel is in the Perception Package.

DG: also has the kernels listed on the OP page to. and you would flash the kernels by ODIN. you will need your PIT.pit file , and the kernel Package and flash it in PDA.
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
I thought I had a problem too when I first noticed this, but then I realized that contrary to the previous ROMs, when I first installed this one, it defaulted the Auto-Rotate to off.

sleeping death

With the phone shutting down after a time on full charge (and actually loosing charge in this state) i have gone back to B5. I tried the non OC version and quandrant standard was like 1700 vs the 2300 i get on the OC version. I noticed DG has NOT mentioned this in the KNOWN ISSUES section nor is it in the changelog. I imagine if he doesn't do anything to the kernel the issue will remain (or i guess it is an imaginary issue some have had because it is not a KNOWN ISSUE)...still makes me late for work.

When B8 is released please report after the first night of charging if you have had the death and continue or do not continue to have this issue.

Thanks, I will test it myself, but it all depends on when it is released since i usually flash early (4am).
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I am still on Perception 4 with BLN on running since it came out and I can tell you that for me, the battery drain is not noticeable when the backlights are on for several hours. Not sure if that changed with the later builds.
[Captivate Android Development] georgem106:
I had a very quick battery drain and all I did was disable BLN and now my battery level has barely moved. This was the only setting I changed.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Okay Quadrant score means jack on these phones, so please don't post them.

the charging issue was stated as far as the build 7 release. DG is working on Build 8 and so far its running smooth. Build 5 doesn't have any of the charging issues as Build 7 does

Download mode to ODIN flash just kernel???

How do you flash a different kernel?? Do you ODIN flash it on??? If so, do you have to put the phone in download mode to flash it on??? I am little confused about that. I was of the impression once you put it in download mode, the previous ROM is gone. Is that not true??

I guess my main question is to ODIN flash just a new kernel, do I have to put the phone in download mode or not???

Thanks,

[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
I remember on the old Cognition Rom's we were able use ROm Manager to flash the new updates over the old version we had.

So are we still able to flash with Rom Manager the new updates DG releases over the old perception build we are running?

I hate having to do the odin Master Clear and wipe everything off my card just to update my Rom, especially if you are trying to stay up to date, you are talking two or 3 times a week sometimes.

I understand that it is recommended to always go back to stock, but when I was flashing the Cognition Roms I was having absolutely no problems going through Rom Manager to flash the new updates. Is it the same with Perception?
[Captivate Android Development] darkovin:
I guess I am one of the lucky ones on this ROM. I have b7 oc/uv, and no issues yet. I did have to flash it twice tho, to get it running. First time I flashed it, I couldn't install anything. Kept getting told that there wasn't enough space to do it. I reflashed to stock, and then back Perc b7 oc/uv, and have had no issues. Haven't seen any changes as far as battery usage either tho, but that may just be that I don't fully understand the voltage settings.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Just make sure you disable Voodoo or whatever lagfix you running, some people are able to update like some aren't. Just a try and go... but i would recommend flashing to stock as to stop any issues
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
You flash a kernel with odin in download mode. If you are flashing just the kernel you should be fine in dload mode. If you are going back to stock with odin from dload mode then yes, your rom will be gone.
[Captivate Android Development] ebarth1:
Alrighty, tried that: flashing to stock and reflashing perception (after ensuring a full charge)... no luck... When I press the power button to put it into standby, it will always keep turning the screen on and off perpetually... totally destroying my batter life... Such a dismal state... I'm loving this ROM because the speed is unbelievable (who needs overclock when it's this fast?!). Right now, this screen issue is a huge hurtle though...

So far, this is probably the best DG Rom I've run. I haven't had any significant issues, FC's, or battery issues. I'm running the non UV/OC version.

I was having random shutdowns on the 2.1 and the Cog 2.2, but I haven't experienced any on Perception.

Does this have HSUPA enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
As far as I know HSUPA is still enabled

i meant B8

i can tell from just running the bench mark that it was slower and had more lag.

linpack was 17on the non oc vs 23.9 otherwise.
