P7 oc/uv vs. P7 non-oc/uv

Thanks mod777...

Btw... Installed P7 oc/uv and it is really snappy, but started immediately getting charging death. So downgraded to P7 non oc/uv, and will see if it improves the charging death situation.

Now, don't get me wrong... P7 non oc/uv is plenty snappy, but regardless of what everybody else has stated on this thread, I DO see quite a bit of a performance difference between P7 with oc/uv and without oc/uv. I don't think it affects my usage negatively, but there is a good enough difference that I can easily tell with normal usage - or am I imagining it? ;)

Thanks,

MD

A couple of days ago I installed perception 7 after running cognition 2.3b6 for a while. It is amazingly fast. Thanks alot DG. Just ran into a problem though. Recently I have been getting lots of force closures specifically in com.market.vending and when I hit the search button Google search would force close. I restored market and Google search using tibu and that seamed to solve those problems. However, I depend on my phone as an alarm clock and the last two mornings my alarm has not gone off and my phone was shut off even though I left it on when I plugged it in at night. I reinstalled perception 7 after flashing back to stock and doing a master clear. I have not installed any apps and not running any oc/UV settings. I plugged my phone into the wall charger after installing perception 7 and watched it charge to 100%. Seamed like it solved the problem, only to find out when I checked my phone again 1.5 hours later it was off and showing the battery icon. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
the difference is there!

Any progress on the charging death issue? I miss using perception but that's a deal breaker for me.

Christmas came early.....Thanks Santa DG.......* is here...let it flash, let is flash, let it flash....:p
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
This one I am testing right now seems fine... but I have pulled oc-uv for now until it's sorted out.

The non-oc version is fine, charging death is cause by oc-uv.

Build 8 is LIVE
[Captivate Android Development] spartan07:
I cannot imagine still running 2.1 on my cappy. With the bad rep samsung has regarding updates I would not hold my breath. Damn just look at the updates we have got to date.I still have GPS issues thanks to samsung. I have stayed on 2.1 till now (just rooted) and I wish I would have flashed sooner.

I'm happy and thankful to the devs for the custom roms. I don't care what people say I don't think ATT would include HSUPA on our phones among other things.I think everyone knows and is expecting a crippled rom from ATT. I'm not even going to install the official roms I'm just going to jump to the next perception build when it comes out. PerceptionBread here I come LOL
[Captivate Android Development] RobertInCypress:
I'm using Build 4 & it works like a champ on my phone. is there really any reason for me to update to B8?

Downloading now... ;)

EDIT: I'll wait for OC/UV tonite!

P8 oc-uv question

Hi DG,

On the OP you mentioned the P8 oc-uv version will be uploaded later tonight. Is that the oc-uv version with the charging death fixed???

Thanks,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Can't wait to try out the headset fix. Downloading right now!

I'm thrilled about the non-oc versions. I can't tell you how many PC motherboards I fried pushing dual core processors to within an inch of their lives :D. 1ghz is plenty for me :).
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
Hmm... I flashed B7 non-oc/uv a couple of days ago after flashing to stock, and had the charging death so I went back to build 5. Maybe I did something wrong, but usually don't have issues. Charging now and will give B8 a run a little later on. Can always flash i9000 reoriented over it if I have the charging issues.

Thanks DG.

Restoring all settings

I would love to do more ROM testing, but it's such a chore restoring all my apps (even using Titanium backup), logging back into gmail, changing Swype settings, changing call settings, changing notification settings, etc., whenever I install a new ROM with the recommendation of factory wiping and/or reverting to stock via Odin; and even then, I haven't figured out how to preserve my SMS logs, which go bye-bye after every wipe. :-(

Is there a way I can do all of this with much less work and ad-hoc effort? I would love to know if there's a way to essentially do a one-click backup and restore of the settings I care about. I would do a whole lot more testing if I could lower the overhead involved in flashing a new ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] 1randomtask:
does build 8 still have that APN FC bull****?
[Captivate Android Development] jes2389:
Finally a great ROM that I can use my headset with. Downloading now and flashing to stock. Will report back results in a few. :D
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
lol DG just flashed 7 and now 8 is out... guess I'll have to reflash 8
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I just did the same thing. I just finished setting up my phone a matter of mins ago. Oh well. Disable lagfix and reflash to 8 while I wait for the download to complete.

Flashed to Build 1 and I can make calls now. Not sure if Build 2 was a bad flash although I installed the same way. Can anyone confirm that they can make calls on Build 2?
[Captivate Android Development] mikegy2002:
no apps install

Using cwm, I applied build 2 after flashing back to stock. Now no apps will install from marketplace or from titanium backup. anyone else? Otherwise I'll just have to flash back and try again.

[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I have same issue. In fact I cannot end calls. It just hangs.

Anyone who can make calls with build 2 please post. Receive works fine:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] roofus:
Clear the data from the Market app. Worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Update: This is the first i9000 ROM that did not cause my phone to reboot several times on my drive to work.

WooHoo!!!
[Captivate Android Development] armangua:
I couldn't make nor receive calls. I simply backed up everything using TiBu, then installed Perception build 1 without going back to stock, restored everything with TiBu EXCEPT for Phone 1.0 and PhoneUil 1.0.0 .

I dont know if that made the difference but I can make and receive calls.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Are you able to make voice calls?
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
way to burst his bubble :D

Yeah, this no-outgoing-calls thing is baffling me. Oh well... at least I can still text.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
It appears that Build 2 voice calls is not working.

WARNING: Do not flash build 2. I suspect this includes 911? Bad release.
[Captivate Android Development] original2k:
installed proper. calling issue confirmed: 1) it just hangs there 2) it won't hang the call
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
You guys already know that DG will fix it when he gets up. So everyone has one or two options:

1.) Reflash Build 1

2.) Just relax until DG creates a fix for Build 2.

Since loving the rom so much I'm just going back to Build 1.

Thanks DG for your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] LGSilva:
Supercurio posted over twitter that may be some corruption on the /efs that will cause no voice call bugs. He also says that "no rfs" still have rfs...
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
True and although this is experimental, I do recommend at least testing basics before releasing to public. Checklist:

- Make and receive calls

- Make and receive SMS/MMS

- Camera works

- Data works

- Browser works

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Decer:
I agree it sucks, and is the only thing keeping me from flashing this right now! :( If I'm someplace that I don't bring my hearing aids to connect to I basically rely on that wired set.. bah! lol
[Captivate Android Development] sifulee:
Thank you.

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
yeah so........ i was super excited about flashing this, however i fell victim to the phone not working. oh well, time to flash to something else until its fixed. anxiously waiting :D
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
The 'H' indicates HSDPA, not HSUPA. There is no screen indication of HSUPA. HSDPA is basically the same as saying 3G.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Ok so I have beta 1. Just went into recovery to lagfix .. seen it but couldn't rem which one so didn't install. Open this page find best one to Instal. Recovery again but Now I can't see apply lagfix. Under advanced I see nothing the same as it was a min ago ..
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I pretty much just restored everything with tibu and got my settings/email straight - then refreshed page and 8 was out. lol

*twiddles thumbs while waiting on download*

Thanks again DG. Beers money on it's way!
[Captivate Android Development] WheresWaldo:
I was in the same boat, hate having to restore everything to fix a single issue. Nothing in P8 except kernel was of any interest to me, so I ripped redbend_ua and zImage out of the P8 ROM and put it in a CWM compatible zip to flash just the kernel. So far it's working. No backup and no restore/reinstall/re-setup needed.
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
OK, here is my B8 use so far.

In B7 I turned off lagfix and install rom.

Let it set for 10 minutes.

Snappy to say the least.

Installed stock-lock

Installed applications from TB.

Rebooted and it locked up at the stock lock screen, black, no wallpaper, no service.

I pulled the battery and restarted. Booted ok.

Everything in its place. Works fine.

I was concerned that lag fix might still be off. As no voice during new rom install.

I rebooted checked it said it was enabled.

I decided to test it. I rebooted, disabled it.

It locked up again at the stock-lock screen, no service no wallpaper etc.

I pulled the battery.

Booted back to normal.

I booted again enabled lag fix and it booted just fine.

I rebooted it again for fun and it is running just fine.

VERY, VERY FAST, the screen just snaps.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Just tested headset, works great for calls.

I did have a weird force close of the music player when the call ended.
[Captivate Android Development] eihuang888:
DG, BRO!

i go on to xda this morning and BOOM! perception build 8....HEADSET FIX! you are SO COOL! hahah BOOM!
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
This is the first perception rom I've flashed. Runing 2.3b4 forever...Wow, this Rom is Fast!!!
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
Did you get the same amount of emails and texts? Do the same browsing? Not move your phone an inch?

Just the act of holding your phone, our getting emails when you didn't with it off is enough to invalidate the result.

I'm not saying BLN doesn't certain the battery; logic dictates it must. What I am saying is the situation reported isn't conclusive to it being the only cause of drain.

I find it hard to believe those LEDs or whatever they are, are enough to make a huge difference.
[Captivate Android Development] nebneb333:
So when can we expect a gingerbread rom from you? I wont use a rom of any kind from anyone but you lol! You always do the best work!
[Captivate Android Development] georgem106:
double post
[Captivate Android Development] georgem106:
Let me explain it this way. Woke up with a 100% charge. Took the phone with me to the bathroom and it sat on the counter for about 30 minutes. No texts, emails, call or voicemails during that time and battery read 93%. put phone in my pocket and left for work. A few emails and a few texts were received in about 1 hour and when I sat at my desk the battery was at 88%. I decided to shut off the BLN to test why the battery went so quick. 3 hours after that, several calls, numerous texts and emails my battery was at 83%. What I feel is maybe the fact the BLN is enabled might be burning up the battery without the actual lights having been activated. I hope it makes sense. But I cant figure out why the battery was draining so quick then I thought about what is enabled and I only disabled the BLN......your thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
BLN drains the battery faster.

Black Lock Screen

Version 7 here. I'm sure this has been mentioned, and someone just did, but, now my lock screen is becoming unresponsive and half the reboots lead to the black lock screen with welcome to perception and (No service)

Have to pull the batt and start over.

Been running for a few days.

Doesn't look like 8 fixes this either based on the post I just read

Am I the only one that thinks there are less issues on the Captivate based ROMs?
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Petty questions:

When I hold the search button. I say call John Doe. it does a proper call.

When I end the call it returns to a "did you mean" screen in search.

Did I miss a setting?

After the completed call, should it not just close?

Can the search or other button be made active during the screen lock?

So Voice dial could be done with out unlocking the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
I love this rom. Its great.

Thanks a lot DG.
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Maybe, but where the fun in that?

This is what it is all about. If we were just end users we would be in the Iphone discussion group. :-)

First time it will do that. Check the box to turn off search tips
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
As I stated in the Cog thread. I love the ROM's, and the features, but, not when at the cost of base functionality. I'm not complaining, noone forced me to do this, just frustrated at work, and my phone is hosed...
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
Anyone else not liking the 2.3 keyboard? I think I am going to go back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
Having an issue, had the same issue with build 7, previously had the latest cog build working fine.

Installed without a problem, also installed fold animations and swype keyboard before reporting. Now when my phone is locked when the alarm hours off, I do the normal unlock swipe, then the phone freezes on the unlock screen, then vibrates a few times and reboots to the perception boot screen.

Recharging to 100, then gonna see if I can get build 5 to work since everyone seems to have good results with it.
[Captivate Android Development] charging rhinos:
So I did my very first rom flash last night to P7, and it was incredible. Like my first time listening to a good pair of headphones... I only wish I did it sooner! And today, I saw that P8 has been released. A couple questions:

1) I've read that I need to disable the Voodoo Lagfix to flash P8 over P7. How is this done? Or should i just use Odin, plug it in, reset to stock, and do the flash thing over?

2) I had mine crash about 20 minutes ago, where it stayed at the lock screen with no background. Had to do a battery pull, but seems to be ok now. Any ideas what that might have been? Is it a known issue, or did I just run into a fluke error?

Thanks in advance, and thank you to DG for all your work (as well as all those that have contributed to the ROMs and testing). I know it takes a lot of work. I used to create roms for old Motorolas, and they were cake compared to Androids. Thanks x 100.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
1: Flash to stock, and go from there. Don't worry about disabling Voodoo. Flashing to stock is always the best/cleanest route to take before flashing a new rom.

2. Not sure... if it has only happened once, don't worry yet. Just monitor it and see if it starts happening again.
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
I love the 2.3 keyboard. Really didn't pay too much attention to it, but when I was typing in my market email and password I noticed it was much faster without mistakes. That drew my eyes to the keyboard and I remembered it is the new keyboard.

Works great so far.

So far.....excellent. I will test GPS. That, Wired headset and mobile AP are the big things for me.

Excellent Rom DG.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:

[Captivate Android Development] Alori:
nice rom

fixed some issues i had with my sound using cognition.

but somehow i don't get 3g neither with b7 nor b8

and since i somehow don't get any 2g connection either there's no data-connection what-so-ever -_-

i checked if data was enabled, tried to mess with the bands, mixed some ideas, but nothing changed :(

Oh my carrier is Vodafone over here in Germany

I would be glad if there are any suggestions on what to do

[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Have you tried looking into updating the APNs? Someone else on this forum commented that you have to manually enter them to get on other carriers other than AT&T.
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
Thanks, I'll look for the settings..
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Someone please tell me it doesn't FC every time you input APN settings in Build 8!
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I see what you are saying and it's easy to come to that conclusion. My point is just that we have to be careful because we are not testing these things in consistent conditions. There are many things that can be draining the battery. Since you were moving during this time just as one variable it's hard to say it was BLN for sure.

I'm not a programmer so without knowing how the BLN process is checking for when it needs to light those buttons up I can't say if it's using the battery. I would hope that process wouldn't use any more battery than say gmail checking for email or something similar.
[Captivate Android Development] Alori:
not yet

i'll look into it

I know quadrant scores and meaningless and taboo, but....I just posted the lowest score I've ever had on a custom rom. I'll get over it!
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
That's only logical and I don't think anyone would dispute that.

How much battery do the lights themselves use?

Is the process of checking when the lights should be lit itself a significant battery drain?
[Captivate Android Development] georgem106:
DG mentioned the BLN drains the battery alot faster. Anyways, maybe somebody will verify either way. Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I saw the post and he didn't say a lot faster, just faster.

I'm amateur at editing the ROM zip file, but how can i just get the new kernel and other few minor changes into B7 without having to completely flash build 8?

Thanks, DG. Wonderful ROM and thanks for the quick fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I too saw very low scores. I wonder how much of a difference the OC version will make.
[Captivate Android Development] zipo16:
Not sure if adding apn in 8 fc or not but the best thing to do is when at stock is download apn backup and restore from market and backup the apn. Then after flashing to 7/8 install it again and restore apn. If you have someone there with you that has a android phone ask them to backup the apn and then get the xml file in the backup folder from them and restore yours with apn backup and restore.
[Captivate Android Development] darkovin:
I had the same issues with b7. About half the time I booted I would get the same thing... Pull the battery, start 'er back up, and everything worked fine. Just flashed b8, so we will see.
[Captivate Android Development] Alori:
great idea thanks

it seems to work with setting the apn by hand since i now got "H" connection(whatever that might be, since i haven't seen that sign before)

i'll go get my backup :D

[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
This solution has been posted a dozen times so far. There are a few of us that would rather not have to do that. Personally, it bothers me that there is a function on my phone that crashes. Doesn't matter what function.

I've been on Cog 2.3b6 and haven't has a single thing crash on me once. APN FC, again, is a deal breaker for me.

Let me know! Thanks dudes!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
For those of you that have problems flashing roms, here's how I do it and I don't have problems. I don't master clear hardly ever.

1. Copy rom to internal sd

2. Charge phone up to full with phone turned on

3. Start Odin 1 click downloader

4. Turn off phone and charge to 100%

5. Put phone in download mode (vol+ & vol- and plug in data cable to computer)

6. Wait for COM Port to show in Odin then click Start

7. After phone reboots, root it (I just copy the [root] update.zip to the sd card and apply in recovery), and reboot

8. Copy Clockwork Recovery update.zip to sd

9. Turn off phone and charge again to 100% (using charger not computer)

10. Reboot into recovery (vol+ & vol - & pwr)

11. Reinstall Packages to change stock recovery to cwr

12. Reinstall Packages to start cwr

13. Wipe Data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats

14. Repeat step 13

15. Install zip from sd card and choose the rom from step 1

16. Optional: Install zip from sd for any addons

17. Repeat step 13

18. Reboot phone

19. Go to market (set up google account) and download tibu pro key, then tibu

20. Reinstall all apps from tibu

21. Redo settings (accounts, email, display, sound, etc)

Some steps may be redundant, but they can't hurt.

- the charging time it should take less than 30 minutes

Clearly you should not be flashing beta roms. The solution has been posted a dozen times BECAUSE IT WORKS!!!

You are SUPPOSED to flash back to stock before flashing a new rom. How hard is it to backup your apn while you are there? Which, btw, you should be doing anyway? You don't care about anything else but not being able to add them BY HAND? Is a deal breaker.....?
