I could be wrong but I believe this is a kernel issue. Perception 4 uses a 1.3.x version of Setiron's kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828052

By the way, there is a known data corruption issue in that version of the kernel which is why I did what is mentioned below.

I took the 1.4.3 kernel and added it to Perception ROM ZIP by replacing the zImage file before I flashed it using winrar. But this version of the kernel does not include the headset fix. If you look at the release notes for 1.4.4, it appears to be fixed in that version:

"implemented Xcaliburinhand's wired headset fix"

So if you are brave, download 1.4.4 and swap the kernel out. I admit I have never done a swap out so can't help you there. I have only replaced the zImage file in the Perception 4 ROM ZIP itself then reflashed.
[Captivate Android Development] bfgarzilla9k:
+1 Agreed.

Keep the new keyboard, DG ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Do what I have already done, go to system/app and grab the latinime.apk which is the gingernread keyboard and then go to system/lib and grab libjni_latinime.so now while you have it. Copy both of them to a folder named Gingernread keyboard in external sd card and paste them both inside. Then when the next version/s come out you have them. I have dome this with a folder for the samsung keyboard, android keyboard, first multitouch keyboard (wjdblue), and gingernread keyboard. It is easier to grab them and keep them than search for them later. Works for me at least, I have even uploaded and shared them with others here previously.

Perception 8 no oc/uv and my phone likes it that way
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I flashed to Perception 8 after flashing to stock and master clearing, but now it seems voodoo thinks its enabled but my benchmarks seem to be still in the 900´s on quadrant. And then when I try to disable and renable in CWM it wont enable it. But in that menu it thinks its enabled.

Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
Quandrant scores don't mean anything. Look for real-world performance, instead. Some of the other ext2 lagfixes inflate Quandrant scores into the 2000+ range, but that doesn't mean you're seeing any increase in performance. I ran Quadrant a few times after flashing Perception 8 and the scores were usually between 1000-1100, so if you're running P8 without oc, 900 sounds about right. Is the phone actually lagging at all?
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Phone is actually pretty speed now that I have it all set up. Was just confused because I always check quadrant to make sure the lag fix is installed. Seems quadrant hit 1100 ish the second time around. All seems well. This rom is smooth. Thanks!

My build8 ocuv is running fantastic... remeber to "wipe data" when you flash via cwm. I might skip out on updating to 9 unless jl3 is a lot better than jk3... i lose ram and processor speed, and my gingerbread kb with haptic... whats so good about jl3?
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I always do, Odin master clear/flash to stock, root/CWM, wipe data, flash to build 8. Same way I've always done it since Cognition was a baby. Thanks though.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, JL3 is 2.2.1, whereas build 8 is only 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
JPU is 2.2.1. JL3, I believe, is still just 2.2. That's why DG had to scrap Perception 9 part 1, because he was running into too many problems trying to use 2.2.1 firmware without the 2.2.1 kernel source.
[Captivate Android Development] xredjokerx:

I flashed JL3 over JK4 on Perception 8 without issue. Cleared GPS data, and it seemed just as solid as JK3-4 was for me too. I was not able to detect a difference, but they don't make new modems if the old ones were perfect.

Wireless tether slow on Perception

I'm having a hard time getting good speeds with the wireless tether with the perception rom. From the phone i get 3mb down and 2 mb up. The reception is good and i have conducted the test a few times. I have a laptop and ipad joined to the hotspot and neither of them can get more than 0.5mb down at best to 0.2mb up. When i use the usb tether it is a lot faster and i get speeds close to that of the phone. Obviously i cant tether the ipad via usb.

If i down grade back to a regular 2.2 rom w/o hsupda i get normal speeds with wifi tether ~1mb down and 700kbps up. Which has not hiccups. Is this an issue due to the hsupda modem or is there some thing i can do in the perception build to fix the wifi speeds back to normal. I dont want to give up perception as its the fastest rom yet for me.

If any one has any ideas please let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] deeZer0:
It seems that when I first unlock the phone, the soft keys are on and if I keep playing with the screen they stay on indefinitely. As soon as I stop touching the screen they turn off after two or so seconds (just lock the stock captivate rom) but when I touch the screen again they never come back on (unlike the stock rom). Is this a known bug, by design, or am I the only one with this? P8 non-OCUV

Anyone having issues with the lagfix? I've used setiron's kernel before with i9k roms and had problems. I always enabled the lagfix immediately after flashing so I never saw a before and after dispairity. When I flashed build 1 I didn't do lagfix right away and that's when I put 2and2 together.This rom was flawless until I set up lagfix. No rfs, all ext 4.

Now data connection is broken after every reboot, and i have to toggle mobile ap to get it back. Toggling data and airplane mode doesn't help, only mobile ap. Launcher pro drags ass on desktop config tasks, and most processes are not running as fast as before lagfix. These are all the same problems I was having before with setiron's kernel and i9k roms. I messed with every variable I could think of, and this keeps happening after lagfix. Nedlar and supercurio having been tweeting about corrupted file systems issue with this kernel. Is this the issue they were discussing?

Just reporting to see if anyone else is having similar issues. I'm not gonna enable lagfix when I flash build 3. This beast is fast enough as is.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Thank you. Yeah I'm not complaining. I love setirons kernel and its not enough for me to stop using it lol. I have used it with every rom I install no matter what there using lol. Works great with all roms captivate, vibrant and i19000 no matter what any one says lol

[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
With that lock scree, I thought I read that without reboot options you had no access to lag fix menu; that it was not available thru 3 button salute. Could be misinformation tho.

Speaking of misinformation, I've heard different versions on how to deal with voodoo5 before going to this kernel: 1) disable, then stock odin. 2) Skip disable as its risky with b5 and odin does it for you.

Recommendations? Any troubles one way our the other?

Thanks

DG:

For the stock android keyboard zip, you need the libjni_latinime.so file for the stock keyboard since it's apparently different from the Multitouch one. Got force closes by just flashing the zip but copying over the lib file with the stock android from an older Cognition build fixed it.

I byotched a lot yesterday about battery, but after recalibrating with full charges it seems to be normal today.

Flashing the new one now.
[Captivate Android Development] zero hour:
perception 8 has been pretty good, battery has been better than any of the other roms (gps is still f'ed, but that's another story).

I've been getting this weird stability problem on a reboot where it will hang on the perception banner and vibrate for a force close. It will boot into the lock screen (hangs still). Then it reboots back to the perception screen and fails again.

I have to remove my battery and then only then it will work. (sometime's I have to do it 2-3 times)

What does the 'H' mean istead of 3g?

This may be dumb... but

What does the 'H' mean at the top bar? I don't see the 3g there anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
The H stand for HSPA. That is the 3.5g essentially.

And the reason I see for having only once lock screen and keyboard and launcher and whatever else everyone is asking for is size. This keeps the rom a smaller size using less bandwidth and having less junk.

Flashing a new keyboard or launcher is easy as pie. Just have the zip file and install using cwm.

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Nope, that is USB death, it's caused by the BFQ scheduler, changing to any of the other options will stop that from happening.

Charging death is a bit different and only happens on wall chargers with OC once you hit 100%, after that, while still plugged in it could freeze up and require a battery pull.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Ok, the mising apps/data might have got you unless you went through and made sure it didn't include any system apps or data on that setting and it always does.

I know it's a pain but if you can't get it cured, re-flash and then add your apps one at a time checking stability after each one. This will allow you to either eliminate the apps as a problem or figure out which one was causing it. :cool:

Standalone GPS flashes/fixes?

I'm relatively happy with battery life and speed for Perception 8 non-oc-uv.

GPS however is completely broken for me. I know many people claim to have working GPS with P8.

I'd probably be resigned to not having working GPS if it hadn't worked well for me in the ecair version of cognition. This is why I still have hope for some sort of software fix or improvement. Afterall, only software has changed since then.

Here's my question: If I'm not willing to flash another full ROM just to get GPS (e.g. I tried Axura, but I didn't like much about that ROM), what options do I have to fix GPS while remaining on P8?

I've tried the gps restore app by samsung, but that did nothing. On eclair stock, I used to play around with the internal settings and do things like delete GPS data, but that was worthless even back then.

Does anybody know of any standalone gps improvement I can flash or otherwise configure?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Do the jupiter v006 files from Clshortfuse. I know this has them implemented but if you used the gps restore then all of those settings are gone. Run in standalone mode or de-select use wifi networks and sensor aiding. Initial lock will take longer; any true gps nav device always takes a few minutes for initial locks anyway, but after that they are quick and much more accurate in navigation. I use CoPilot and the difference in accuracy between it and Google nav is huge to say the least. Just run lbs test mode until you get locks and then quit it and start your nav software for a quicker lock time; while parked makes it quicker; and make sure the phone isn't under your vehicles roof (clear view of sky).

Hope this helps a little but every phone is a bit different so I can't guarantee anything. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I would also try flashing the various modems that are compatible. If you are still stock P8, try JK4. Then JL3.

Remember to clear GPS data in between modems. You need to find a combo your phone/area likes.

As a side note, P8 has "good enough" GPS for me, and it stayed "good enough" through JK4 and now JL3.
