Steps 1-9 not needed unless you are

-- switching from a different ROM or kernel or

-- You encountered a error from a prior flash (FC's etc)

My recommendation is just do this

-- disable lagfix.

-- charge to 100%

-- copy rom to sd card

-- Install using ROM manager. IMP: Please select WIPE Data and Cache

This is awesome....i loved this rom but had to go back to cog becoz of headset issue...now i am flashing it back...yaay..

Thanks a lot DG

Is it possible to do without problems to update to Perception 8 without flashing back to stock and wiping everything? If so, what method will work. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Try clearing the Market cache and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
I've flashed and master cleared a bunch of times now and I never wrote down what ID's are unique to my phone.

Are these restored on a factory reset? How can I get my original numbers back and written down somewhere?

Thanks,

JOe K.

P.S. Stoked on the headset!

Keyboard

here is exactly what i did

extracted the mms.apk from p8

extracted phone.apk from p8

extracted keyboard.apk from axura rc1

extracted htc themed keyboard.apk from black froyo theme

i flashed p8

flashed black froyo theme version 3 firstime download file

then installed all of the above apk's (I USED THE .so file from p8)

powered down restarted and BAM

BLACK FROYO WITH MODDED HTC KEYBOARD

SMOKIN HOT

**Incase u get any force closes on keyboard go into root explorer and manualy install the 2 htc files in system app folder the htc apk and the htc themed apk**

here is the screen to prove i got the theme and keyboard working
[Captivate Android Development] Alori:
OK thanks guys

the apn-stuff fixed my problems

i even get connection with 2g now

i recommend to put a notice in OP that you have to change the apns manually if you have another carrier than att

next time you flsh to stock before doing anything download android id changer from market and start that app and write down your id

then after flashing rom redownload and launch the andoird id changer app and put in your correct id.

then change your id in the udpate.id (yes, it's spelled this way) in your sd folder with notepad

reboot
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Thanks, tried running Android ID changer but wouldn't accept my ID. I know I've read somewhere to uninstall/reinstall or maybe reinstall Busybox.... Can't quite remember now. Either way, I'm getting strange errors....like internal storage card damaged.

I disabled the voodo lagfix and that error went away??? Ok, will re-enable lagfix and try again.

EDIT: getting FC when trying to re-install Android ID changer and reboots...lagfix disabled.

[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Sounds like you may have to format internal SD card from within the settings /storage and media menu or Master Clear. REMOVE EXTERNAL SD CARD AND SIM CARD. This will delete all data on the internal storage card so backup if needed. Then put phone into download mode and flash via ODIN to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
So, re-flashed down to build 5 after running odin and master clear, still having the same issue, whenever my alarm goes off, it freezes the system and had to reboot itself. Reckon something on my phone just doesn't like perception for some reason. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
Same here, super low quadrant scores, but running great.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
To be frank this feels amazingly fast to me so in my opinion quadrant can be completely disregarded. Just like all other i9000's from my perspective
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
He said faster, no a lot faster. It should be common sense that having your softkeys light up takes more power than not lighting them up. I don't know what other information you need. If you want to prove it, test it and report back. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
People Quadrant Scores mean jack crap. don't post about them. Quadrant wasn't designed to test the proc. that the Samsung Devices have. So its pretty much worthless trying to calculate off of that. So Please stop posting about low or high quadrant scores for any Roms & or Kernels

Can anyone confirm whether experiencing FC when inputting APN settings with Build 8?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] ken23lau:
Apparently the fix is to set your APN with a working rom (stock), then back it up with APN Backup & Restore. After you flash build 8, you use APN to restore your previously backed up APN settings.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
that had happen to me and i flashed back to stock put my sd card on my computer and did a master clear
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Someone confirmed no FC's on APN's a few pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
FC issue is resolved in B8 for the apn issue
[Captivate Android Development] DarkReaping:
So I tried out Perception build 7 oc about three hours ago, and it was riddled with problems (couldn't unplug USB without a freeze, couldn't install certain apps, and towards the end I couldn't send more than 2 texts in a row without having to resend the text).

Now I update to Build 8, and it is working like a charm, except for one small problem: ADB will not recognize my phone after attaching and then detaching the USB cord from my computer.

The only fix is to restart my computer, and that is very inconvenient. I was not getting this problem either until I used Perception Build 8, so the issue probably lies within that.

I have tried restarting ADB and I have tried restarting my phone (both reboot and shut-down then turn-on). I don't know of any other methods to use to fix this (an hour of constant Googling isn't helping).

My ADB is Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26.

Other than that rather huge inconvenience (maybe I am doing something wrong though, so I don't want to point fingers; I'm just saying this didn't happen until I installed Build 8), this is a huge improvement over the stock Samsung OS, and I greatly appreciate your rapid development and great additions.

Keep it up!
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Awesome! Thanks! Flashing now.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
After about 30 minutes of use I lost the capability to mount either the internal or external sdcards, in either clockwork or after the system booted.

Data corruption event?

Reflashing, but I think if this was an initial flash error then problem would have been there from the get-go. Wondering if anyone else gets this.

Edit: problem persisting in JF6 stock. Hit re-partition in odin. eh? Tried re-odin'ing again and it says damaged internal SD card
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Ummm.....doesn't Quadrant relate to I/O access overall?

It may not test the processor but still relates to certain things, like when you download a program, how long will it take to install or loading a game.

It has some use....though it may be minimal.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
It has some very minimal use as to that but not enough for people to be complaining about a quadrant of 1300 - 2100 gap on different roms. But still the program was never intended for calculation anything with a Hummingbird setup, only the snapdragon. So its still fruitless to be talking about quadrant scores nonetheless
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Flash JF6 do a factory reset, see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Same here, disabled voodoo on next install and no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Yes!

You are awesome.

Why (2!) odin JF6 flashes with re-partition didn't cut it, but factory reset + format the SD card from within Eclair did it, not sure. THank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Dieabolical:
So, I flashed this at work today. This ROM is super smooth and installed without any problems except the wired headset doesn't work. I tested this on the way home listening to music, and the music cuts out during an inbound call (which it should) and can't hear the caller at all. I doubt they can hear me either. I am using the headset that came with the phone, and it does work with the stock ROM. Is there something I am overlooking?
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
reboot, reinstall drivers, try different usb port, try different usb cable
[Captivate Android Development] jdbeitz:
Quad scores don't matter... I think it gets hung up on some database read/writes on perception. OC will raise your scores though :D
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Not sure I tested the rom out last night, wired / bt headsets was working , everyone heard me just fine i heard them just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] adamwhat:
Hey guys,

I'm currently running on Perception5. How can I update it to Perception8?

Before flashing back to JF6, how can I disable lagfix. I didn't find any place mension how to disable lagfix for P5 because it doesn't use Voodoo.

Just simply run One-Click-JF6 to flash back?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:

[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
How do you disable bln in build 8? I thought it was in cwr but I don't see it there with this new red colored cwr.
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
Your point is well taken and understood.

What do you use to gauge overall ROM speed, I/O, processor, etc?

Seems you would have to use a variety of tools to get judge (for yourself) the overall ROM that is right for you.

For example, when I'm showing my wife a game and it takes FOREVER to load, then my phone looks like crap compared to her precious Iphone. However, with an incredible Quadrant score that MAY test I/O in some capacity...I can judge which ROM is relatively faster in loading games and show off.

Of course the captivate smokes the Iphone (In my opinion) on every relative test.

Linpack is a better test for Computational scores, so it may give me an idea of how one ROM affects my captivate as well.

GPS testing from ROM to ROM was a taboo in some threads, because it wasn't important to some..to me it's extremely important with the features Google maps offer as well as I use it to get to new clients.

Now we see the efforts of discussing such small things with "fixes" like the headset issue on the I9000 roms-**EXCELLENT**.

I'm just saying I don't think shutting off complete posting of one score is a good thing when people use these ROMs for different purposes.
[Captivate Android Development] android158:

DG. when the oc-uv comes out do you think you can perhaps make and update.zip for people who are on the non-oc-uv?
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Well for every phone everything is completely different speed wise for some reason , i've had fast results with some roms some people have had slow results on so its a try and play sorta thing. only way i determine which is good for me speed wise is doing the normal real world tests running games, running flash etc.. etc.. and so forth
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
He had links for just the oc/uv or no oc/uv kernels on last build. Most likely he will do the same.
[Captivate Android Development] leets4uc3:
word. i like to test the webpage loading. but at&t always is crippled with the ping. for me atleast. but o wells
[Captivate Android Development] wtc_bd:
I guess it's pretty subjective.

This ROM is a Beast with the Voodoo 5, so Quadrant definitely has no bearing in this real world test.

It seems you touch a folder or switch screens and it's instantly there.

I just wonder about stability. Mine received internal SD card damaged errors, had to format SD and reflash from stock. I may try another lagfix.

Loving this ROM so far.

I disagree the benchmark has has increased the better and faster my phone has performed. Even DG posted the ave. scores with cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
As a joke....quadrant is still not a good benchmark to go off of.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
If you need to see quadrent scores to be satisfied, so be it. I always run the test to see if voodoo is working/enabled, otherwise I dont' pay head to them and base everything on daily performance, which so far is impressive. Granted, it doesn't have the performance that you will see with overclocking but at this point, i;ll settle for the voodoo fix. Like people have said, Quadrent and Linpack are test designed for other processers (Snapdragon) and devices based on those processers. All voodoo is doing is fixing the problem that Samsung gave us with RFS, by converting that stuff to a standard file system that other Android devices are using. i wish I still had the article that Supercurio posted in his Twitter about Samsung justifing RFS, that would silence some of the Quadrent/Linpack nonsense.

So from looking P8 OC has been pulled because of having the charging issues still? I saw it might be coming out later?

Right now 7 is getting to be a little more unstable for me. I do not have to get even to fully charged now before I have a crash while charging. My phone crashed 3 times today with the 7 OC version at stock settings. I would like to have a nice stable phone again. But know it is all part of testing beta's.

blacks on the display?

Not sure if this is going to make sense...

so when I first got this phone i noticed how the color black showed up as if the display in that portion were shut off. in the gallery for instance, in the area around the photo that shows is shut off.

but i flashed perception 8, and now instead of it being black black, the display is slightly illuminated, like a regular LCD trying to show the color black. battery life is horrendous. unplugged about two hours ago, went from 50% to 8% battery.

any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
for some reason I cant get perception 8 to boot. i went back to stock jf6 with odin and master cleared, yet all i get is a black screen with 3 short force close vibrations. oh well will go back to the rom i was on and wait for 9.:p
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Try:

- Go to Stock

- Do a Master Clear (make sure you have your pics and stuff backed up)

- Root

- Install ROM Manager

- Install Perception 8

works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Is this the only way?

I tried wiping cache and data, but still produced the same error. And for some reason, USB 2.0 is now failing.

EDIT: This largely emerged after I moved to Perception. Done with this ROM for good.

EDIT2: Retract that statement. Forced it into Download Mode and JF6'd. Then CWM began working. Hmm. On P8 now, going to leave OC/UV alone.
[Captivate Android Development] womcs:
Can someone please explain to me why DG is putting out i9000 based ROMS instead of focusing on putting out Captivate based ROMs? We all have Captivates right? It seems like DG gets close to making a good COMPLETELY functional ROM only to abandon it for some other platform then do the same thing again. Specifically, why did he move from COG 2.3.6 to Perception? Was it speed, stability, call quality, gps, etc. Just asking!!!!!

No problems here with Perception Build 7

After reading through many pages in this forum I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones. My last Rom was Cognition 2.3b6 and I flashed to Perception B7 and have had zero problems. No force closes, battery life is great, etc. I'm on day 3 with standard usage. I Odin flashed and master cleared. My phone is running much faster than it ever did with Cog 2.3b6. I'm on a Sammy Captivate btw....
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
Failure at line 13

Hi all.

I've been fighting this error since last night when I attempted to flash b7. CWM got to the point where it was copying files, then aborted with this error. I tested other ROM files that I know have worked in the past, but they all have some variation of the same problem: the installer bails while putting files into place.

I saw some folks had a similar error with b4, and were able to fix it by reformatting each partition separately in CWM, but that hasn't worked for me.

Can any one point me in the right direction? I'm on a Linux machine, so Odin isn't an option for me. I'm able to flash using Heimdall, but I'm stuck going back to Cog2.3b3, which works, but I liked a lot of what I saw in Perception b5.

Thanks in advance!
