If you are using Odin back to stock(JF6) then Cog then no disable needed.

If you are using Odin just for kernel swap then Yes, disable needed.

Custom boot animations

So is there any way to add custom boot animations? I saw something in here about it when I was loading the rom and then lost it. . . something about putting the animation .zip in the system/media folder. . . one problem though, I dont have a media folder!

Problems disabling Vodoo

It seems clear that Vodoo needs some small work.

As has been reported, disabling Vodoo has some issues with external sd card.

My experience:

1. Disable Vodoo

2. Upon reboot - comes up with issues.

3. Pull battery

4. Comes up working with Vodoo disabled, BUT it reports external sdcard damaged.

5. in Recovery, enable Vodoo again to see if this can restore the damage done.

6. No such luck, now on reboot, see No Service and then frozen phone.

7. Back to the drawing board - stock, etc.....

In terms of the external sdcard:

Windows agrees that the sdcard is damaged.

6. Quick format of sdcard fails

7. Full format is a must.

-- thankfully in my paranoid nature, I have a full backup of the sdcard.

Please pass this along to the Vodoo folks - if it's an issue with there stuff???

Perhaps it would be safer to remove the disable Vodoo lagfix????

Has anyone been able to make this work? - A few others have reported this issue - seems fairly toxic?

Other wise I love this ROM - will be restoring and testing the oc-uv version.

I installed OC P8 last night and everything was running amazingly smooth. The only problem is that I got the charging death this morning. Im going to keep trying with different UV settings and if that doesnt work Ill just go to the nonOC version since people say that version doesnt suffer from the charging death issue. Great work on this new ROM DG thanks

One big difference is that Perception is based of of the i9000 ROM. Perception has been the more active of the two projects over the last couple of weeks. I've ran both and so far Perception has had the best combination of GPS and overall system performance. There's also an overclock/undervolt version of Perception which was not available with Cognition.

[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
difference between Perception and Cognition

Something I tripped across in another thread or way back in this one. QuickOffice in the Market was $9.99 I think when this person went back to re-install it after upgrading to a I9000 based rom. The question was why and the answer was because the market didn't recognize his phone as an ATT Captivate. I'm basically a noob but this caught my attention. So in any case... back up your apps.
[Captivate Android Development] jeff.leonard:
Thanks for that info; I had noticed Perception had been far more active and seemed to get most of DG's time lately. I think I will give Perception a shot and see how I like it.

Installing Question

I've been looking thru the posts and P8 nonOC seems to be the best bet starting out so I've decided to give it a shot.

I've got a stock copy of my ROM on my SD card and was going to flash it with ROM manager and then flash P8.

It seems allot of people use Odin to flash it. Is ROM Manager ok to use or should I use Odin?

Also should I do a wipe to make sure it is a clean install?

I just dont want to mess anything up.

I went into the Voltage Control and have set the following:

wrong thread sorry
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
So I lied. I found something else. After rebooting, the wifi will not detect any wireless networks. It shows that wifi is on (as it was before rebooting), but it will not detect any networks. Turning wifi off and then on again solves the problem.

Since I'm having two different issues I thought I should clarify that I DID Odin back to stock first, followed by a Master Clear and then the install of B8 non-oc/uv.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
24+ hours on PB No OC/UV and it was working good but YOU KNOW...Had to try P8 OC/UV I had some issues getting it to install and voodoo just would NOT disable, it would say disabled on next boot, I would try to flash and it would have some errors for not wiping data. SO I decided to fresh install anyways and odin back to stock.

Next I was able to install P8 OC/UV with no issues. I got it all to work for about an hour without messing with ANYTHING (didnt add any apps, redo Tibu, Nothing). Then I went to do a Batch Install with Tibu Pro, it made it about halfway then the phone rebooted itself. I then went back into Tibu and installed the remaining apps one by one and found the culprit that was causing the reboots... XDA App from the Market. I guess I had a older version saved that worked on P7 and P8 No OC/UV or they just happened to update it today. Either way I was able to download it from the market and all was well. Waited a couple more hours since I am at work.

Finally started to check out Voltage Control 2.0rc2 and start undervolting. Well I incremented slowly ALL -25 accross the board with no issues. Played around with the phone for about 20-30 minutes and went to bump them all down to -50, all of a sudden when I did that the phone rebooted on its own. Next I tried again but I only lowered to -50 starting from the 100Mhz then play with phone, 200Mhz and play with phone, Etc., Well once I got up to the 1280Mhz and moved it to -50 it immediately rebooted the phone again. Since then I have been able to increment the settings down to -75 accross the board EXCEPT for the 1280Mhz is still at ZERO. It seems all is working good since. I will continue to test it out though.

Just a note I am on P8 OC/UV, Darkeness Theme, Blinky 4.1 or something, ALL set from initial flash before any reboots. Those worked without issue for a few hours before trying anything else. I initially thought it was since I have weather and toggle widget installed that undervolting was causing the issue. So I uninstalled it and tried again with the same results until I decided to NOT change the 1280Mhz to any under volting. So far it is NOW running very smooth, Thanks DG. I will comment anything further if it arises.

I have a brand new out of the box AT&T Captivate. I'm sure it's been posted in this thead, so if someone could link me I'd really appreciate it.

Basically I need to know what steps to take to get this phone running the Perception 8 ROM. There's quite a few terms i don't understand in the OP and I was wondering if anyone else in my position had it broken down for them. I'm kinda literate on this stuff, I just have zero experience with android mods.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
Just to get u started....go to the stickies page and read the thread 'Read before flashing'. That is where I started. I would download Odin one click and keep it close...you will need it eventually! You will have to root before you get into the good stuff which is very easy. Just search for 'one click root' and read tthat thread as well. If you have any questions, chances are someone has also had the same question, which is where the 'search' feature is your friend. Hope this gets u started....

Hi, I've just moved from Cognition 2.2b5 to Perception b8. Up to now I've see just a few errors, it works very good, quite smoothly. Does lagfix come activated by default?

The keyboard, as previously said, doesn't vibrate when touched, nevertheless I use Samsung's Stock. The biggest error was the langage, as I set it in Spanish and it was half traduced. The most annoying part of this is the keyboard, even though I think this is because I restored tibu's backup and then selected the language.

Finally, the email application which allows to sync with exchange, I gind it different or older that the one I had with Cognition. Thisone doesn't allow to accept or add to the agenda meetings directly in the calendar, the invitation doesn't appear directly.

I have to test it a little bit more due to the battery's life, something that in Cognition leaves much to desire, I haven't seen much improvement, but who knows

Thanks a lot
[Captivate Android Development] MarkStarCrashes:
Thanks Buddy!

As so often happens (to me at least), after trying to figure this out for an hour, I ask for help, and then fix it myself within 10 minutes.

I had to reboot my computer with the phone plugged in, then try to switch to Mass Storage at which time it told me to unplug the USB and press OK. Did this and replugged the USB and viola!

Well, that made sense to me...

Great job DG! Keep on keeping on!

You guys might want to hold off on flashing 8. DG said he's working on the new I9000 firmware.

People are reporting that the new firmware is amazing - mostly speed increase.

Nah it's ok. Flashing dg's roms is always cool :) I really don't mind setting up my preferences anymore, do not care about sms/mms lost and I do backup all my apps+settings via TiBu so it's cool. It's cool...

Now being ontopic... It might take 2 or 3 versions for the new i9000-based froyo 2.2.1 version from dg to be perfect so I hold until then

Im running 8 oc/uv and its running great for me. With voodoo enabled or disabled. I think alot of the complaints come from people not flashing right. Or you downloaded a corrupted file. Every perception version I get runs flawless and I download straight to my phone. I disable lagfix. Master wipe. Cache wipe. Battery wipe. Rotate wipe. Fix permissions. Flash the new rom. Leave if on for 10-15 minutes. Reboot. And the phone always runs smooth with out going back via odin stock. Loving the new keyboard btw

Not sure what your threshold to call something laggy, but in my opinion it goes like this:

I went back to Cog v2.3b6 and I'm glad I did. I have better service and fewer dropped calls, at the cost of losing HSUPA. I have no sleep death or charge death issues (obviously) and my GPS is the best it's been. I couldn't get a lock in my car with any version of perception but with Cog 2.3b6, I just got a 9 sec lock on 10 sats, with 5m accuracy at 80mph. Needless to say, I'm sticking with I-897 based ROMs.

Perception 8 OC/UV has been awesome so far. Charging death issue is still present, though.

No. Quadrant scores mean nothing. Look for real-life performance, not numbers generated by benchmark apps. If you're seeing lag, fcs, broken functionality, then you should be concerned and reflash.
