Could be a problem with Handcent. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling if you wish to use Handcent.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
because there is a lot of confusion out there about how to use ClockworkMod Recovery.

i noticed this on the cognition IRC channel last night. SOOOOOOO many people recommend 'flash to stock, root, install rom manager, then install rom'

why are people not informing the uninformed that you dont have to do anything beyond flashing to stock? if you leave the update.zip file on your /sdcard, then there is absolutely no reason to have to root and install rom manager once stock. just reboot to recovery, reinstall packages, and flash your rom

people see the instructions that so many others preach as gospel about having to root and install rom manager again, that it makes them not want to go the stock flash. i dont even let my phone boot to the OS after a stock flash, i just let it reboot to run the wipe and then i power down and reboot to recovery. i can be flashed back to stock, and flashed into a new rom in less than 10 minutes...its not hard if people use common sense.

just my 2c. if everyone would take the time to actually understand how this stuff works, we would all be better off, rather than everyone just blindly flashing this or that without understanding the consequences or the actual method of how it works....
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
it takes 5 minute at most :P

I can think of a few reasons , but the main one in my case would be there is no stock I896... the stock one click is not stock rogers ...

dont get me wrong when going from one kernel rom to another I always one click hell I cant count how many times I did that when I first bought my sgs , since I tested 2nd release of perception I never went away from AXURA ever again my system never had issues and since the bug when going from one kernel to another I decided eventho AXURA does a complete wipe ( witch I hope will be fixed soon ) I DONT NEED TO revert to stock since Im sticking with AXURA and latest seti's..

I have to point out tho MY PHONE HAS NO ISSUES , the second I ll feel phone not crisp or antything ill one click and do the whole thing again no doubt ...

Axura is spoiling me , so atm no one click for me ..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I think the confusion comes in when people do Master clears which as you know wipe everything if done correctly. Than they do not have the update.zip and get stuck asking us how to fix it. Oh well, there will always be those people who do not follow instructions and create head aches where they are not needed.

Dude, I just gotta say thanks to everyone making this such an amicable thread. This rom is great, and the people here super helpful (the questions are pretty reasonable, too). I feel like I've learned more from lurking here a few weeks than other threads where ive lurked for months. I appreciate your NAND explanation too: case in point.

So...what is considered best practice re: nandroid w/ lag-fix? Should it be viewed same as flashing stock?...just always disable it so you end up on the right side of the"might work/might not" coin, or are we good to go with the setiron kernals? Thanks (and previous statement stands regardless if this post is determined to be noobish & flame fodder...tried searching)

i always flash to stock and master clear (it became a habbit) and i dont restore anything i dont have tibu and i never had a problem or issues with roms
[Captivate Android Development] spacecase-25:
Can anything be done to keep the music player from quitting when the phone needs memory
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Probably not. The phone is going to cut non-system apps to conserve memory to allow the phone to run instead of just bricking and restarting. Go buy an SD card and move some of your apps to it.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Well thanks for the NAND reply lol ;) The master clear only formats the internel SD....we can do away with that step. No i dont hae the answers as why flashing to stock works....other than what i have said. BUT. I do know that when you do a master clear all it does is wipe out the INternal SD... So...................If you want you can do the Flash to stock... Found here.. http://www.4shared.com/file/uiiBrK09/I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.html

Then just go into settings and format internel SD....
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
When moving an app via TIBU, is the app placed on the external or internal SD? also do you know the folder it would be put in? Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I dont use TiBu because it can bring alot of issues into another ROM......so i hope some users can asnwer this for you :o
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
i agree with this. i learn that the hard way tibu is not great as all seem it to be if you do want to use it i learn that u can go to the tibu files and pull out the apks u want the put it back into the folder and reinstall. helps me so that i am not transfering the system info into a new rom i install
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
All i can say now is Kizz where are you :confused: Its your time on the stage.... :D
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Thanks smokestack. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The apps are sent to the external SD if you move them. They start out on the internal, where your memory problems are stemming from. Just choose which ones you want on your external and move them. You can also move the apps through your settings menu if you find that to be easier.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I use tibu to create my backup, transfer the backup to my PC and pick and choose what I want out of it when I install my new ROM. This way I don't run into problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
TiBu batch operations work great. the key is to select RESTORE MISSING APPS AND DATA....it will only restore stuff that isnt already installed on your phone. i never use it to restore system data, but i have not had one problem with restoring data and apps with that batch method....this is coming across from MANY different roms across the board.
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
i use tibu only to archive old versions of market apps, just in case an update kills a feature i like. sometimes developers release "updates" that removes features or adds restrictions, especially as their app becomes more popular
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is some smart thinking. I never thought of using it like that. I am going to be doing that. That would have been handy when SGS Tools was removed to get updated. I coul dnot get it for like a week and I was angry>:(
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
So explain something to me then, because I am one of those who, Master clears, flash to stock, root, install ROM Manager, then flash new ROM. When you say "leave the update.zip file on your /sdcard", what update.zip? If you Master Clear and flash to stock, there is no update.zip on your /sdcard. Right? OR are you saying, rename Axura-OMG-ROM.zip to update.zip, put on /sdcard and then go into recovery to reinstall packages?
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
Is anyone experiencing market issues. I have problems with apps getting stuck at 100% download and not installing. I have to try it three or four time before it finally works.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Yeah...I have been having these problems as well. I am guessing it's not a ROM issue because I have had it on a few roms...even had it when it was stock. Have not worried too much about it, or at least enough about it to find a fix. I just do it the obligatory 3 or 4 times.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
This is for people who do not master clear. The update.zip is the CWM in update.zip form. Some people choose to go that route over having to take the slightly longer route. I would just continue what you are doing as I am assuming it works for you.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
I believe someone suggested running the clear market cache script that comes with Sgs tools.
[Captivate Android Development] sanners38:
Just my 2 cents:

Great ROM I am patiently waiting for the new release. With this ROM in beta I would recommend stock clocking the processor, and not under volting the processor. Both of these actions can lead to corruption of data. This can then lead to users "seeing strange things" happening, while other users have no issues at all. This clouds the actually testing of the ROM and introduces bugs that aren't bugs but are corruptions of data. Every processor is different, some will over clock well and some will not. Some will under volt well and some will not. Also, as others have mentioned, flashing back to stock should be required if you are going to post your "issues" with the ROM. If you have played with over clocking and under volting, you should probably do a master clear and start over to ensure all your data is pristine.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Nothing. I don't use many apps as I am flashing alot lol
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Lol I'm working. Every now and then I take a peak at thread lol.

[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
That's what I thought. I can understand doing this but I personally like to Master Clear just for my own peace of mind. :D
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Very true. If you don't go from ron to rom should be ok
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
Backup the update.zip that's installed by ROM Manager (CWM) BEFORE you master clear. Copy it and the axura zip (name as is) back over to your sd card after you master clear.

edited: because I'm too lazy to proofread.
[Captivate Android Development] dadams312:
Just copy the update.zip to your desktop/laptop. you can master clear, then put the update.zip back on from your desktop/laptop.
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
Do not rename the Axura-omg-wtfbbqsauce-rom.zip.

When you use rom manager, the first step is to flash clockwork recovery. In doing this rom manager places "update.zip" on your /sdcard . This zip is what allows the modified(clockwork) recovery to work. I always keep a copy of this update.zip on my external SD card and on my computer.

After you flash to stock/ master clear move that update.zip back to the internal sd card root.

When you boot up after master clearing to install a new rom, boot to stock recovery (blue text) and select reinstall packages (sometimes this needs to be done twice). This will install clockwork recovery again (green text). From there you install zip from st card like you are used to. This saves you the step of rooting/DLing rom manager every time.

Ok, its coming sometime after 4 pm PST. I also figured out at&t does not push voicemail notifications to jk2 roms. So the problem is with att. Google voice is pretty much the only solution.

[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Sounds good! Haven't had my daily flash yet ; )
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
That's what I do. I have a folder called back up on my desktop that has all my launcher pro icons and backup folder, tibu ( apps only never data ) and a couple licenses and my cw update.zip so after flash odin one click back to stock then master clear I just transfer all to my internal sd card then power off and charge to full. Then 3 button salute to recovery install update zip then do it again to cw recovery. I then wipe cache , then factory reset (over kill , but takes 2 minutes extra and works) then install from zip select rom and reboot. Then after boot I always reboot 1 more time to make sure every thing is good. I then tibu restore apps only no data then restore backup of launcher pro takes about 15 to 20 minutes if that.

I have never had problems with that install process. Works like a charm. And I flash a lot lol

DL SGS Tools form the market and run the clear market cache script. this should fix your issues. SGS Tools is free also!
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Do you have any ideas about how to fix the random loss of carrier connection that some of us are experiencing?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That would be correct, that was me and it works wonders!! SGS Tools also has some other very useful tools for the average to experienced user. It is one of the better apps out there.

Thanks, I know we don't have to disable before going to stock. What I was wondering about is disbling lag fix before doing a clockwork backup (i.e. Before messing with system apks/temes)

Btw, I cannot for the life of me successfully master clear. Not with odin one click, CWM, menu options from stock or axura. Every time I flash, all my data(music, pics,etc) remain on my SD...

Since we are talking about it, here is my rom flashing procedure..

First, I always keep a copy of the update.zip that rom manager created on my PC.

1. Charge to 100%, open tibu and delete old backups.

2. Make new backups of all apps + data, but NOT system data.

3. Connect to PC and transfer the tibu folder and all other important files, then unplug phone.

4. Open odin 1 click, reconnect, master clear and let phone reboot, then disconnect it again.

5. Power off, remove sim and sd card, boot into download mode, reopen odin 1 click, connect to PC and flash back to stock.

6. Enable debugging and mass storage mode, transfer update.zip and my rom of choice over, disconnect, and reboot to recovery mode using the 3 button method.

7. Reinstall packages, let phone reboot, reinstall packages again to get into clockwork mod recovery.

8. Install .zip from sd card and choose my rom of choice that I transferred earlier, then let it reboot.

9. Reconnect, move tibu folder and other backed up files back to phone, delete update.zip and rom_of_choice.zip, disconnect.

10. If needed, reboot into recovery, enable lag fix of choice using backup and restore option, reboot, and reinstall missing apps + data (again, NOT system data!) via tibu.

I also usually clear the market cache and fix permissions at this point just in case. If you are having problems with a rom that noone else seems to be having, you probably didn't flash my way. Sure, this may not be necessary every time, but why waste time chancing it? Just do it right the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] cingulartreo:
All incoming calls cause phone to FC. Will this be fixed in Rc1?
[Captivate Android Development] Lee1733:
Perfect example, this is not a known issue so try flashing again using my method above and/or disable oc/uv.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Here is the CWM file to make life easier for all of the people who do a master clear and forget to save it. Put it in your damn desktop and keep it there. Rename it to update.zip when you go to install it through 2e recovery.

Enjoy and happy flashing!!
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
If you simply are trying to clear the market cache you can go into Applications->

Manage Applications->select all-> go to market-> click on Market-> click on clear cache....done. No extra app. Though SGS does more than clear cache, if your goal is to just clear cache the above method will work on market or any other app for that matter
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
dont know if this is implemented on the rc that is coming out but can i disable my lights on the phone from lighting up when i get a notification? iit just kills my battery over night i dont mind the red dot on the screen when we get a notification but the lights on the bottom kills me! Just asking
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That works too, very true. I just like SGS Tools bc I can do a lot more than just market cache clears. I love it for band selection and GPS testing.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is known as BLN. Reboot into CWM, go to advanced ULK features, go to BLN options and choose turn BLN off. You must get a hell of a lot of texts over night to drain your battery;)
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
You can disable BLN by going into CWM->advanced ULK tweaks->BLN options->turn off->reboot->should be off
