yeah, i was trying not to use launcher pro. i like the included launcher i just dont need 7 homescreens
[Captivate Android Development] M1nur:
ok I know this may be really n00bish, but im coming from cognition and tried loading this rom using rom manager with no luck. Any tips?
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Many Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I have seen this too... are you by chance running ocuv kernel? This problem also went away when I made that switch. Running non-ocuv it can get, let's call it warm, when running all that stuff. Especially if you have to crank the heater to keep the ice off the windshield. I suspected overheating and loaded up non-ocuv. Problem free since.
[Captivate Android Development] PsydePhuk:
Me too. Non-OC v8 with pretty low usage. 1d 21h 50m and I still have 19% battery. I'm loving P8!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Try flashing stock first then flashing the rom through clockwork recovery
[Captivate Android Development] charging rhinos:
Re: Battery life,

I let it drain completely before charging it, to the point of powering off. Then I charge it to 100% overnight. It appears I was mistaken in thinking that that would maximize the battery's life. I've searched the forums and Google for battery recalibration, but it seems there are a number of methods that differ quite a bit. How would you suggest I recalibrate it?
[Captivate Android Development] M1nur:
cool thanks
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
So my Facebook SNS sync is working again. Didn't change anything, just woke up today and it was working. I'm thinking it has nothing to do with the Rom. That just leaves the wifi not seeing any ap's on reboot as the only issue I'm experiencing.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
1. Charge to full with phone turned on

2. Charge to 100% with phone off

3. Keep charger plugged in and start clockwork recovery

4. Wipe Battery Stats from cwr advanced menu and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] PsydePhuk:
I usually throw a turn on and then off and then charge to 100 again in between 2 & 3. I guess it's just what works best for you.
[Captivate Android Development] charging rhinos:
Thanks very much! At times it can feel like the forum is full of techno-snobs who would rather criticize people for not using the search tools, rather than just helping them out... but posts like that restore my faith. +10 Gold stars for you
[Captivate Android Development] Milkshakes00:
After it bricked my phone for a few minutes and I Odin OneClicked it back to stock, rooted it with a basic root, and then reinstalled it, it decided to work. :p

Only recommendation I can give is to make the voice louder, if possible, when you first start the phone and it's starting a partition. I had a hard time understanding what it was getting at.

It also just generally gave me issues installing it, even the time it worked. Turned out I needed the file twice actually on my in-phone storage. One named update.zip, and one named whatever. I hit the Rom Manager and hit update.zip, then reinstalled in the recovery menu, then chose the Zip from Storage option and hit the file that was named whatever, then it finally installed.

Gave me a bit of a problem, but now that it's running, it seems fine. I ran the non-OC version. I don't notice any slow downs from Perception Build 4.
[Captivate Android Development] xterminater07:
Has anyone had a bug with this rom like what I'm experiencing? I set my wallpaper to a live wallpaper of a fish tank and suddenly my fone shutdown within 30min or so. It didn't do this last night when I had it on the stock perception still wallpaper.
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
maybe you have Undervolted too much or your phone can't handle the OC. are you on P8 with OC/UV?

my phone won't let me UV the 1280 below 50.

I (unfortunatley) am too stubborn to use the cogkernel2 for charging death issues. I have Sentirons Kernel set to ext 4 all

the 1.4.5 had the wired headset fix.

I REALLY want to go back to Designgears Kernel, hopefully he is baking some new goodies right now as i spent all day trying out kernels and roms and here i am with P8 and Sentiron's kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
Are you running the oc-uv ROM? If so, I would suggest trying the no-oc-uv ROM. If you still have problems, I would suspect it may be a bad flash. When I have seen shutdowns, for me it was the oc-uv ROM, which my phone didn't like too well. You could reduce the clock and set it to boot that way to see if the problem disappears. If it is a clock speed problem, it will be random for the most part and independent of the App.
[Captivate Android Development] jes2389:
Running Perception 8 oc/uv version. flashed from Perception 8 non-oc/uv using clockwork. Started to notice the phone gets turned off if I have it plugged in for long periods of time. The battery hits 100 percent and the phone dies. minor phone quality issues. still testing. Random force closes. Did a permissions fix. Didn't seem to help. Otherwise a very nice Rom. I really am happy with the headset fix. Works great!! Thanks :D
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
You are the man. :)
[Captivate Android Development] xterminater07:
sorry to mention I am on the non-oc/uv version :) All the flashed went correctly nothing froze or anything.... if I was to flash to a dif rom how do I do it, do I need to restore again to stock, which takes like FOREVER or just use clockwork to do a straight flash?
[Captivate Android Development] raruhs:
Hi all

I installed the P8 oc-uv and I have one big issue. Every time I receive a call it losses signal and says no service and then immediately back to full signal. Does any have this issue?

I got also an error message with the bluetooth closing it.

Other than that all seems to work great!!!

Edit: Also using wifi does not let me browse. Says pagenot found. I just placed the clock to 1000

Edit2:Back to stock with odin, now try with non oc/uv let's see

Regards
[Captivate Android Development] M1nur:
just wow, thanks.

just got it installed and its fast. I havent run into any bugs but will keep an eye out.

Any recommendations on things to do to prevent any issues or increase overall stability?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
For those experiencing charge of death did you try to check the use only 1ghz. I read it somewhre says it helps get the device more stable.

is there a way to add my swype keyboard back?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Hi im curious about how you get your phone last that long the last time i get my phone to last like is to have no widgets at all. So im just asking do have any wigdets running? If so can you tell me how many or what are widgets you running.
[Captivate Android Development] mcbooth:
Has anyone else tried SetiroN's kernel with Perception 8?

I booted to CWM recovery to undo voodoo, both /system and /data partitions, but it wont undo /data. It says 'disabled on next boot' but it never actually disables it.

Since SetiroN's has support for ext4 partitions, am I OK to go ahead and just flash SetiroN with /data as ext4, or do I need to undo the lagfix first?
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Gps on Perception 8 is a lot worse than Cog 2.3b6. I can't even get a lock!
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
HOW TO: Enable/disable Voodoo

To Disable: Create a folder in /sdcard/Voodoo named "disable-lagfix" (without the quotes; capitalization is important). To Enable just remove this folder

Now reboot the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
It does not work...It hasn't work for the last few versions. Give it a try and see for yourself. The only way to remove Voodoo is to flash stock.
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
i am also interested in this i looked at the kernals which one do you want if you do not want to over clock and how do you install it
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Excalibur has a great kernal for those of us who are happy with our speeds. I am on three hours and 93% battery with wifi/data on and 7 miles of GPS. Who says the i9000 is a battery eater?
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Read the first post.

Where it says "Swype Keyboard"

Click on it.

Dl it.

flash thru CWM.

Reboot.

RE: QuickOffice

I believe that B7 of Cog was the version that Quick Office was pulled out. Try B6 and it should be in there...
[Captivate Android Development] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
Actually, the Voodoo Project page says to name the folder "disable lagfix" (without the "-"). I haven't tried it but give it a shot - might work.

I really think there is no use commenting on gps. My is the best it has ever been on P8. Im not aware that DG did anything super special to change gps performance on purpose (other than just be awesome) however correct me if im wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
its samsungs fault, not android. IMHO samsungs email app sucks. i use this one, just drop it into /system/app/

GPS is kind of like your girlfriend (or wife if you are married). Sometimes things are going great, and there's nothing you can remember doing to make her so happy with you, and sometimes she's really mad at you and you don't know why.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Hey guys... if any one looking to install Gingerbread theme on P8 (Non/OC), you can do so. I installed and it looks awesome.

FYI... I already had the GB launcher installed prior to the GB theme install. But I guess the launcher should install with the theme pack as well. Also, the GB dialer didn't install, at least for me, therefore I used dialer apk to do so.

Install using CWM. Reboot in recovery and choose zip from sd card... Rest you guys already know.

One more thing, the lock screen changes as well.

NOTE: While booting, on PERCEPTION screen it'll take some time... so hold on. Give about 5 minutes before you pull the battery out.

As usual if you don't feel comfortable, then don't flash.:)

[Captivate Android Development] PsydePhuk:
Yep. No widgets. I've had a bunch in between ROMs, but there wasn't any that I was in a hurry to load this time. I guess I can load a couple and see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
That doesn't work either. It's broke and has been for the last few versions. Give it a try and see.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Wow. Little things make a huge improvemant from build 4. Plus the phone doesn't get bogged when I update or otherwise download 5 apps at a time. Its butter smooth and way better than the universal lagfix kernel version. I had some bug with it on reboots claiming the configuration had changed. The phone has never been this good. My only request now is that you incorperate a hulu fix.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
How did you get the dialer to install? What is dialer APK? Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I use root explorer to copy and paste apks. If you have one or any other app like root explorer, then copy the dialer apk to SD card and then copy and paste to /system/app/. Also, it's always a good practice to rename the original apk to something like blahblah.apk.old ;) in case something doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
hmm so far i dont have any problem regarding perception everything works so fine no fc or charge of death, im using it for a day my gps is working. I was on cog b6 before flash back to stock master reset then flash perception b8. I was looking forward on the update on cog b7 but when I saw the bluetooth full of static I felt like ouch oh well so then i decided to go to perception again since everything is fix here and working im using the non oc/uv since i dont want to deal the charge of death so i will pass on that, for those people asking about the signal i think perception boost a little bit of my signal i used to get 2 bars inside now i get 3 bars, in my theory maybe its because it uses the 1900/850 mhz band. about the battery it eats when you use it but when idle it last longer than my cog b6. All in all perception b8 non oc/uv is better than the cog b6 in my experience. Thanks DG again for an amazing ROM

PS: anyone can teach me how to disable lagfix on this version is it the same like b6? just make a folder of disable-lagfix or do i need to do something else like in clockwork? Im planning to do a backup so any help would be appreciated :D ty
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
You can do both. In cwm you will see were it says voodoo lagfix. It's pretty nice too
[Captivate Android Development] raruhs:
All seem to be great now after using P8 non oc-uv. More updates latter

Again great job!!!!

Modifying Lock Screen Caption

As for changing the lock screen caption here's the directions.

By the way it took me a couple hours to figure this out and I don't recommend doing any of this unless you're very comfortable with possibly having to reflash your device.

1) You need to get APK Manager (dl from here)

2) Extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ on your device to your APK Manager folder

3) Double click on "script.bat" from the APK Manager folder under \place-apk-here-for-modding\

4) On the CMD screen type 22 and select "framework-res.apk"

5) On the CMD screen type 9 to decompile this file

6) Go to the \projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\ and open "strings.xml" with Notepad++ which can be found free here

7) Search for the word "Welcome" and then edit that line to say whatever you want it to then save and exit

8) Go back to the CMD screen and type 11 and make sure you select "y" for system apk and "y" to copy over the original files

9) The directions on the CMD screen will tell you to delete "resources.arsc" from the "keep" folder so do that

10) The file should be recompiled now so go in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and rename "unsignedframework-res.apk" to "framework-res.apk"

11) Copy this file back to your /system/framework/ folder on your device

If you followed these instructions properly then you will see your new caption under the lockscreen effective immediately. But, if you messed up then make sure you kept a backup of your original "framework-res.apk" and replace that back.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
Overall I am loving this ROM - no-oc-uv. BUT I still continue to see one repeatable FC. Run Kindle for a while, read a chapter of any book or so. Then hit home or back. You will see a FC. But you do need to read for a while. Sorry that it is not directly reporducable. I have seen this FC on 5, 6, 7, and now 8.

[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I can not wait to hear about a build with FROYO 2.2.1. I know it is being worked on. P8 is great but if it did not have the charging issue it would be perfect.

I did notice this my phone does not crash while charging if I have a program running like radio. As soon as I have no programs running and I hit 100% my phone crashes and turns off. Then it never shows fully charged.
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
what are the best voltages? ive seen so many but what do the pros recommended?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Likely the app itself since it is happening consistently over builds.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
For those who were asking in regards to transitioning to perception, these are my thoughts. Perception 8 (non-oc) is great, more than fast enough for me simply with voodoo lagfix. I've strictly used cognition up to this point and made the jump after reading comments about the stability of the non-oc version. Definitely give perception a shot if not revert back to good ol' cognition. Been running it for a few hours without any problems and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. Thank you DG!
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
weird stuff on my freshly load p8. restoring apps and i hear the dreaded fc vibrate and then i unlock my phone. seems okay. all of a sudden, BAM! perception bootscreen real quick (like 3 sec) and that was the total reboot? like 3 seconds? wtf

Just throwing this out there as an fyi for anyone running launcher pro PLUS AND one or all of lpp's native facebook, twitter, or friends widgets:

Battery life on perception with uv has been awesome, but it started tanking real fast over the past few days. It turns out that the recent launcher pro update wiped out my update interval settings for the social networking widgets and restored them to the default 15 min interval. I didn't notice it right away because all my other settings remained intact.i changed the settings and battery life is back to being phenomenal.

I had some weird problems. Pressing the mic button on headsets in Build 8 broke the EQ until Music was restarted, calls didn't work through headset, texts often didn't send even with signal in the same place where they sent 20 times previously, wifi broke once in a while, Voodoo won't disable, stuff like that. Just odd.

GPS fix for CAPPY

1st want to say thank you for the ROM DG. Next I wanted to ask if anyone has tried GPSRestore by Samsung on P8. App on the market to fix gps for captivate. really want to try it but thought I would ask before I installed.

not needed and as far as i remember it doesnt do anything...

GPS on p8 non-oc has been the best to date.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan07:

Do you guys do a GPS fix after flashing rom or just leave it as is?

rebooted in flight mode, now flight mode is on and greyed out in power menu so i cannot disable :(

Rebooted and when i press menu button it says airplane mode is disabled but the little airplane is still on top bar and I have no service. This a bug?

Funny I just posted a few posts ago I had no issues with oc-P8 LOL maybe I need to flash to non-oc?
