Build 3 ...24 hours later

Here's my experience follow-up for today:

Wireless

I find that the wireless is dropping short periods a lot. I've mentioned this in the past. I have had this problem on all 2.2 ROMS (Cognition, and now this one).

Cognition 2.17 was fine.

I am wondering a bit if this may be my router. Next week I will hook to the router at work (even though I can't do anything over it, due to Android not supporting proxy severs...go figure), and see if it drops there too.

For more detail on this: I have Tasker on the phone, and have a task that does forwarding based on being hooked to my SSID. When it disconnects from that it forwards back to VM. Over last night it switched over 30 times.

It would be interesting to see if anyone else with Tasker can set up something that just announces "Wifi Lost" or something when disconnecting from the SSID. But again, I'll also test on a different wireless next week.

But the problems others have mentioned have not been an issue for me.
​

Stability

Today has not been an overly stable day. I have had FCs on a few tings:

Google Shopper

Google Voice Dialer

Springpad (This one consistent)

Calendar Snooze

I might mention that I have remained over-clocked. My voltage settings were at 100 100 75 75 50 50.

I just changed clocking to 1ghz and voltages back to stock. Springpad still FCs. Now to be fair, I have not had Springpad that long, and for all I know, it may FC on anything. But the others, I have not experienced that.
​

GPS

This GPS is pretty solid with the Jupiter6 that I added, although from some more time on it today, it does not seem as solid as on 2.3b6. But with the GPS on this phone, who the heck knows.

For anyone interested in GPS, here is a link to some tests I noted in the GPS thread, based on this phone.

[EDIT]

BTW...the supl.google settings are already in place on this rom. FWIW. I have always had worse luck with Operation Mode set to MS Based. Interesting how it is different for everyone.​

Performance

A bit interesting. I was blown away by the performance last night. Today, along wiht the FCs I was having, I experienced quite a few lags, even to the point of freezing for a bit.

Now, as I noted in my last post, I am using the (If I remember terminology correctly) JFS Advanced. I am thinking of switching to the one DG recommended, but I see now that the OP doesn't show the printscreen of what he recommended. Maybe its in the verbage. i'll have to go read and see.

I'm not sure of the process to switch. I'm thinking maybe disable current one; let it boot and get going OK, then go in and enable the other. I guess I should be prepared for a complete reflash ;).​

Whats next

Well, given that the BT dialer is functional (WOOT!), I am hoping to stay on this. Maybe today was an anomoly;)

Build 4 offers what I have pretty much already done here, so I'll watch for what Build 5 brings.

Hope I'm bringing some useful input.

Oh, someone earlier asked that I share the UOT file for circle batt that I created. Here it is: Again, this was based off the framework-res.apk from Build 3. I have no idea of Build 4 would be different
[Captivate Android Development] Pheno.menon:
I flashed from cognition as well, and I like this more. Looking forward to further development of this ROM :)

Installing CWM on this rom...

I want to try a nandroid backup, but I need to go through teh setup steps before I do.

Do I select Captivate or I9000 when it asks?
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I think xda policy is you need to request permission
[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
Yes it worked on Build 4....

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kletiz:
This is the first time my GPS has worked since I've had my phone. Great work!
[Captivate Android Development] kudakeru:
I was just about to try that, but I tried reflashing and restored my apps/data via TiBu, but skipped anything that looked like it might be related to the dialer or phone settings in general. The problem has gone away. If it comes back, I'll try changing kernels and checking the network access. Thanks.

Is it true you have gingerbread snacks? I read it somewhere..........
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yeppers...Me too... This guy is bullet proof. RE Flashed it after a mass force Closure bork from the ROM without a PC replaced Apps with TiBu and all is good again....

Yeah I like this ROM....
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
All of you guys NOT on build 4 having issues, UPGRADE TO BUILD 4!!

Had to get that out there, I see lots of posts with people complaining about fixed issues.

As far as custom stuff, I am making an effort to provide a very nice list of addons for those who like things a little different.

The launcher will stay Launcher2, if you like LauncherPro, download it from the market, I wont be putting apps on that ask you to buy it because that could cause the developer to miss out on a sale, arguably, it could help the dev.

According to Zedge the wallpaper/bootscreen is called Watereye by fishuman
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
DO IT...LOL

I was going to wait a couple weeks after my own personal 2.3b6 fiasco and went BACK to 2.3b4.....After reading about beta 4 here I decided the functional issues were mostly resolved and loosely gave it a go..actually tried to bork it by not doing things right LOL..Then re flashing on the fly over itself after a crap load of FCs. I am convinced I I will be able to recover from any issue with this phone without a PC as long as I can get into recovery.....That is something I could not do with 2.3b6.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
+10000000000

I buy all my apps..Root Explorer, Titanium Back up...ROM Manager,ELL WORTH it if you flash ROMS/ I don;t understand people who won't buy a $4 app for a $500 phone that will HELP them.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Ohhh mannn.
[Captivate Android Development] J-T:
I've been on I9000 roms for awhile now and then I was snooping around and decided to try this out. So far I have to say I love it. I'm not getting battery life like stock but it sure is better than most I9000 roms i've been using. I think the difference is mainly in the standby time. So far I really have no complaints what so ever. I will be trying to learn how to do a few theme tweaks here and there so i can get it the way I want it but this truly is most of what I've been looking for.

Great job DG!!! beer money is on the way!

Captivate on umm whatever rom I chose to flash today.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Im on build one and have hod no issues after updating gps file. But since i usually can wait more than i day without flashing ima do b4 tonight..

Also seems every time i flash a new build is released withing 5 hrs so this hopefully will help yall.

GPS and Speed Better than Ever

1801 peak score in Quadrant Standard. That was only at 1ghz. Thats right, faster than ANY OTHER PHONE BENCHMARKED online right now.

GPS works better than any other rom I've tried, and I've been through at least a dozen now.

DO NOT RESTORE LBS or any Navigation Related App and Data from TiBu after flashing Build 4, this will break the GPS fix, at least in my experience.

Battery is perfect after drain and recharge, agreed that it doesn't last as long as Cognition, but I'm projecting 23 hours which still rocks.

I was able to successfully flash Build 4 on top of Build 3 with just a Factory/User Data reset and not flashing back to stock, but do so at your own risk.

If you flashed this over Cognition without doing an Odin/Stock reflash, shame on you. Shame on me for doing it to, thats what I tried w/ Build 3. You'll get a bunch of FC's and a generally unstable system, and potentially even lose root and market. So flash w/ stock if you're migrating from another ROM flavor, but, I had no problems installing Build 4 over Build 3 with just a Factory (User Data, NOT SDCARD) reset. Not saying you won't have problems, you might, but I didn't.

Also, in closing, thanks DG for making this, I'm drinking the Perception koolaid, and have even considered a (brief) moratorium on flashing since I've finally got everything working the way I want it to...

If Swype isn't on this, can we just do an adb pull Swype.apk from /system/apps and then reinstall it on the new one? One of my biggest beefs with the i9000 roms is not havign Swype! lol
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
I realize its early in the testing but i saw someone mention batt life. anyone got any issues with it so far? flashing momentarily
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
let me see if i understand

1 go to sotck with odin

2 after finish unplug usb

3 root

4 instal rom manager

5 flash with cwm?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Hey guys, rate my thread up at the top and vote to front page!!
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Yes

Then dont forget to use the option reboot recovery and go into the advanced section. And then lagfix options. Thats where you set what one you want to use.

Video playback issues

Guys.

I saw other reports saying that on this version, the playback of recorded videos is failing to start ? Did somebody test it already with Perception ?
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
works fine for me
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
I removed the lagfix I had applied (Overkill all ext4) and got service back after I rebooted. Will try adding lagfix back now and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
or like mentioned earlier, you can skip step 3 and 4 by keeping the cwm update.zip on your internal sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
videos work, but i do think this is sucking battery fast
[Captivate Android Development] SethGorton:
This is sad but is there a cheat sheet for installing this? I used Odin to flash the (unofficial)official Froyo 2.2 and that was the easiest thing I have ever attempted. Kudos on that. I just dont see an easy way for installing Cognadian. Help would be definitely appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
I hvae trid other similar rom and they are indeed faster then everything else ,

dg stealing other's spotlight .. again ...

:P

serously , why is voodoo 5 not enabled on this any reason ? isnt a new kernel worthy of being built just for this ?

Lets face it once we have official 2.2 for the cappy this will have to be redone ... allover again ..
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
All I want to know is everyone's thoughts on GPS in this ROM vs. other ROMs.

Just kidding!!!

I was in the process of building myself a MikeyMike Doc ROM to replace 236, but now it looks like I'll be frying myself up some Cognadian Bacon to try instead.
[Captivate Android Development] alex4lex:
Check Check! DG, We have liftoff! Service is a go! Although, TBH, I flashed without the usb cable the first time. In any case, smooth sailing on calm waters so far :]
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
losing about 1% every 2-3 minutes with the screen on sleep!:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] alex4lex:
Did you recalibrate/reconfig your battery?
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Flashing now...

Hoping this ROM will work in my area.

Cognition is the only non-stock rom that does not cause reboots when changing towers in my area.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I have been sitting at 100% for the last 30min with the screen off.
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
I noticed on my first boot I wasn't getting a cellular signal - I had to enable flight mode, then turn it off, then clicked Mobile Networks, then Network Operators.

I let it search for awhile, then clicked back and it came up with signal. Seems to be working so far - restoring some apps now.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
lol I didn't flash with full bars.. I flashed 39% and I've been unplugged since early morning with some usage and i'm on 88% :]
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:
waiting on build 5 ;D

im still running cog2.3b4 (my favorite so far--twlauncher and just overall awesome)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I second that about the great job "Teflon Gears" is doing!! Regarding battery life, I've been sniffing around trying to find the optimal settings for the included Voltage Control app. I thought I read somewhere that certain settings within the app can greatly improve battery life. Right now with Voltage Control, I have everything set to the way it came...all 0's.
[Captivate Android Development] revolvingdoorslammer:
Has anyone had problems sending pics in mms?
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I'm not, but I've been using it anyways :p

I was playing enabling the 850 frequencies as per indicated in the SetiroN kernel thread: Enable WCDMA 850Mhz by dialing *#2263# (COMBI BANDS -> choose WCDMA 850) and a few others that I can't recall. Yes, I know, I should have done a nandroid backup just before messing with it... the phone still works, and it all may be subjective, but it seems to me that there are less signal bars now compared to before. Have anyone tested different options? What are the options set by default?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I noticed that too with this ROM, as well as others. On one ROM the developer noticed the bars were out of sync. When it showed no signal bars, it was in reality, one signal bar. So in essence, it's almost like he moved the bars slightly to the right. Not sure if that's the issue in this case. DG can better make that call.
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
I like that it changes... On the JPP modem, mine was switching constantly, and battery life sucked. With this Rom and modem combo it is not switching the same and battery life is much better. It's nice to be able to make a connection.

So far this rocks. Running build 4.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
If anyone has changed the settings in Voltage Control to where its running efficiently, please post your numbers.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I haven't flashed back to Odin in so long...

that I am forgetting something.

Ok, flashed back to stock from 2.3b6. Everyone says you don't need to root to run install these roms but how do you run clockwork when you're not rooted?

I use Rom Manager and it needs root access.

I feel like such a n00b as I was flashing the new roms constantly but just been awhile since Odin...
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
:eek: someone said Quadrant.........

DG thanks as always for keeping my girlfriend upset with me about my addiction....
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Am I missing something? Where are the lock screen options?

found the AOSP lockscreen that someone posted and it works great.
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
Yep. Me too. Using 3.5mm cable into my truck stereo. Very low volume.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
On your internal SD card you have a "clockwork" folder (assuming you have previously flashed Clockwork and not have master cleared). Within that folder is a "recovery-update.zip" file. Make a copy of the "recovery-update.zip" and save it to your desktop, then rename it "update.zip" and put it back on your internal sd card. When you do the three button thing to go into stock recovery, click "reinstall packages" (you may have to do it twice). It will then put you in Clockwork Recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Reboot into recovery and install from there as long as clockworks update.zip is still on your SD card...

Edit: too slow lol
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
You keep a copy of the "update.zip" file that rom manager creates when you run it. Once you have that file, you canm always boot to clockwork... =)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You do not need to root if you download the clockwork update zip. Go into stock recovery and reinstall packages. A link has ben posted earlier in this thread with the link
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I have with all i9000 roms been hit or miss. Unless i attach from the menu

Always works then
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Im looking thru the apps and Im not seeing the voltage app...

I have read every page of this thread, and see where people have done the settings to like: 100, 75, 75. 50 ect.... Im just not seeing where to go and do it.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Thank you...

to the 90 people that replied. I did not know that about the CW update file.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Ok on TiBu what exactly would be the app names or whatever to avoid restoring? I am not restoring system apps but just in case.
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
I also confirm... voice dialing is working with bluetooth :)

However, I would like to know how to revert back to the vanilla lockscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Don't beat yourself up too bad. Everyone started somewhere...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Look for the yellow triangle-shaped "Voltage Control" app in your app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] darron2k3:
How to

How do you take the text off of the lock screen? would like to customize mine.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Me too. No disrespect to DG but I already know what I am running so don't need an advertisement on my lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Other than the calendar sync issue I have posted several times (which I dont think are possibly ROM related)....this ROM is awesome. GPS is great (as a captivate goes), fast as hell, etc. Great job DG.

Can't Flash to Perception

Hi I flashed back to JH6, JF7 and it tells me I need privileges. Won't let me run ClockworkMod. I been flashing back and forth for weeks now, all of a sudden nothing lets me get to CWM. Any ideas. Thanks

DG thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
For some reason when I flashed I didn't get any of the apps DG said he moved to data/app so I had to download the missing apps from the market and searched xda and found the voltage control app...

[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I usually do a batch restore missing apps with data. It does not restore anything that comes preinstalled such as google maps or navigation, only the stuff that you added. You might want to restore some other app data, but I never do. And that way I never run into problems.

Guys. Im really happy with build 4. Phone is fast and I have not found an issue that matters..actually I haven't found any. People remember that this is beta.. enjoy your flashing... have fun guys. If you have any issues with your actual version, try to always update to the latest version as one of the first steps of troubleshooting. DG roms are excellent... thanks for your work.

This jk3 modem came out right on time. Att. Just enabled 3g with hspa in my area. Priorto nowi had to live with edge! now my phone is super fast.

Im still on build 1 but ill flash build 4 tonight. Bluetooth and call quality is confirmed working clearly and gps is as good as jj4. 5 meter locks indoors and flawless tracking in my tracks. Great stuff but I actually think jj4 is smoother at first. This rom was slow and laggy for the first day. But seems to have smoothed out. I like this over jj4 for the reasons of the black themed keyboard and multiple font support and no need to work around the tethering data plan thing. And will probably continue to use bell vibrant roms if the headset calls gets fixed. I use the headset on my motorcycle in the summer and would prefer that to bluetooth.

Has anyone tried to use jk3 modem on a captivate kernel? Or a captivate kernel on a bell vibrant rom? I know the tmobile vibrant jk2 stuff has battery drain on this phone.
