Solved.

Please close the topic.
[Captivate General] null_x86:
Ok, I know the official build isnt out yet, but I do know there are a slew of ROMs floating around, some of them on XDA. Any suggestions as to which one to go with? Any pros/cons of doing this? Just trying to find out, cause I saw the post on Engadget that linked to a closed thread here about the Froyo leak, and whatnot, so what ROM should I go with, or just wait a little for the official one to come out? And what abut Gingerbread? Should I even bother with Froyo?

Sorry, just got a lot of questions now that I've got my Captivate

Thanks guys
[Captivate General] veive:
The official build is out for Bell Canada, I would try to get a ROM based on that.
[Captivate General] wvumaniac79:
Definitely a custom rom. The leak is really buggy
[Captivate General] Pvster:
i agree with wvumaniac79. been running the leaked froyo and been troubleshooting it on a nearly daily basis (thank god for this forum!). some things i havent been able to solve and just lived with (still nervous about flashing, etc). but my patience is wearing thin to the point it'll overthrow my nervousness of re-flashing a new rom.

do a custom rom and you'll be happy.
[Captivate General] null_x86:
Thanks for the info guys.

@vieve - I dont think you can flash a ROM for Canadian phones on an American phone can you? I know I couldnt with my old HTC TP2.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what Rom to use? Afaik, isnt Cognition the most popular one right now? Any bad things with flashing?
[Captivate General] fosdos4790:
If I'm not mistaken the new perception rom is based off a build from Canada. Its made by design gears the same that does cognition. The newest cognition is awesome that's what I'm running on right now. Just test the waters and if you get stuck the forum is here for support.
[Captivate General] null_x86:
Ok so perception and cognition are by same dev teams, so either one is a good one to do? Im assuming because theyre names are different that there are some differences between them? I was looking at cognition but ill give the other a look. Thanks
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
The cognition b4 was perfect for me. I didn't have any problems.
[Captivate General] wvumaniac79:
My personal favorite is the aosp cm6 spices rom, gives the look and feel of stock android. But cognition is good too
[Captivate General] null_x86:
Alrighty, well Im gonna try Cognition real quick, and see how it runs... if all else fails, or something goes wrong with the phone, i can always flash back to stock eclair right?
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Correct. I have though I bricked my phone a few times, but I always figure it out. This is my last ditch effort that always works for me every time If I think i bricked my phone.

Download Odin 1 click. Install samsung drivers, if you haven't already. Take the battery, sim card, and sd card out of your phone. Start Odin 1 click on your computer. plug the usb cable into the computer, but not the phone. Put the battery back into the phone. Hold the volume up and down buttons in. While holding those buttons, plug the usb cable into your phone. Your phone should turn on in download mode and be recognized by odin without even touching the power button on your phone. Then you can restore.

You probably won't need that advice, but if something goes wrong, I though I would save you a mini-panick.
[Captivate General] fosdos4790:
The newest cognition 2.3b1-6 is running on captivate builds. Cog 2.4 is based off a vibrant build. Perception is based off i9000 builds. 2.4 was buggy for some but worked great for others. Perception is practically brand new only been around for a couple of days and doesn't quite work flawlessly YET. Hope this helps.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I agree. The most stable cog I used was 2.3b4. I never used b5 or 5.5. b4 was rock solid. b6 is faster, but has issues.
[Captivate General] null_x86:
I got Cog b6 (latest one atm) running right now, and it seems to be running just fine.. I think my only issue is battery calibration, which Im in the process of fixing right now..

have to say, i like froyo a lot better then eclair, and not having touchwiz is soooooooo nice
[Captivate General] xnoctis93:
currently running cogb6 and everything has been flawless so far. surprisingly, I haven't run into a single problem yet. also, flashing it w/ rom manager was dead easy :D
[Captivate General] null_x86:
Yeah, i was pretty amazed at how easy it was and even more amazed at how much better it runs than the stock rom. About the only issue i have is the random shut off issue, which seems to be hardware related since it happened on stock eclair and on cogb6. A quick power on, restart and it works fine.

I really like cog. Runs great. Two complaints i have though. The musix player app that comes with stock eclair has a pull down control on the lock screen while the one in cog doesnt, even though they look like the same app. That and using the music shortcut in the Car Home app doesnt work (im guessing that the stock music app isnt installed?). Two minor grumbles, but something i can live with. Have to say its really really really really really nice to have gotten rid of touchshiz and atts bloatware. Touchwiz looks nice and all but damn, i love the stock android launcher and lock screen. That stupid swipe to unlock screen was killing me.

Ah well, im ranting. Regardless, this rom is great. Thanks for the input guys. Its greatly appreciated.

And yes, i did just type all this from my phone. :-D
[Captivate General] wade7919:
Cog 2.3b6 is good...

Perception build 4 is good... fast has a better modem for it...

both done by DG both good... best thing todo is flash till you find one you like and fits what you want it to do.. other than that have fun with whatever rom you choose and enjoy it
[Captivate General] fosdos4790:
I believe the reason that pulldown CD on the lockscreen for the music player doesn't work bc its part of touchwiz. No touchwiz no nifty CD animation. As far as car home goes I'm not sure.
[Captivate General] Pcsrule:
U can get the pull down CD on cognition 2.3b6 along with the puzzle piece notifications. They aren't in there now because the dev went back to the stock aosp lock screen instead of the touchwiz (aka "glass") lock screen. You just have to replace the android.policy.jar file in /system/framework/ with root explorer or some other method. U can get the file from an older cognition rom that had it or the stock rom.
[Captivate General] Roof King:
Axura is a blazing fast totally tricked out rom. Ran cog and perception and both good but try Axura and you'll see what I mean.
[Captivate General] shawn.ferris:
Will replacing the policy file get exchange synchronization working? I tried cog b6 but my company requires a pin and I kept getting the "this account requires security features not available on this phone" dialog? (Or something to that degree.. I was going to scour the forums today and try again..but this sound promising..
[Droid X General] Thriceanangel:
I'm rooted and back on stock rom. I'm using 928droid black glass theme, with launcher pro. For some reason any time I play music the player only plays a few seconds of the mp3, then starts flipping through songs really fast, then it eventually says that the file is not supported (but it's all mp3). Then any song I select says the same thing. First I thought it was a problem with the rom, so I left flyx and went back to stock, but now it's happening on stock. If I restart the phone, it well play for a little bit, then do the same thing. Any help appreciated!
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
IMO the stock blur music player is an unmitigated POS. My advice would be to take a look at PowerAMP instead. Best $5 US that I ever spent.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
+1 to PowerAMP.

It was made by a Dev here on XDA and their is a free version so try it out.
[Droid X General] Thriceanangel:
I did try a couple different players, all with messed up results. I should add that I'm not overclocked and the phone is now using battery like crazy and rebooting randomly every so often. Reloaded flyx. Don't know what else to do...
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
If it was my DX:

Hard reset first. If that doesn't work then sbf.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
If its a problem with FlyX then you're out of luck. The Dev who made that ROM quit the DX and went with the Droid Incredible. If I were you I would try SBFing then using a newer ROM like Rubix or Fission.
[Droid X General] Thriceanangel:
Ugggh. No thanks... Not yet anyway. So far it seems flyx is stable.
[Droid X General] Thriceanangel:
What and how do I sbf? I know I can search and probably find it, but to save a step or give does anyone have a link?
[Droid X General] SirBrass:
Another +1 for power amp. Best music player for android. Winamp got its lama's ass kicked solidly by this app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketunes:
Running Fresh's rom - when upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 I noticed I was getting contact not found when searching for certain people. This is for exchange activesync contacts. I do run a 3rd party sync program on my local outlook that copies and paste's contacts from a public folder to my local contacts. I discovered when I change a contact and it updates it - that's when the android get's contact not found. Has anyone else had a similar issue? They tried troubleshooting it but thought it was an activesync issue since I can open and do everything with the local contacts in outlook - just not on the android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkitsmiller:
Contact not Found

I have the exact same problem. Also getting my contacts from Exchange. Interestingly, if I do a search and find a name and click on it, I get "Contact not Found". But if I long-press the same contact and click on Edit, all the information is there.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Curious to know if flashing the original RUU for a device resets life timer (calls / usage).

Anyone know?
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Ok thanks. Shame as I wanted to set it all up properly and then give as a present. Guessing there is no way to do this then - true factory reset that is?
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
How do you see life timer stats?
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
That's a good question! I just kind of assumed there would be one.

Surely there will be? I know the Nokia's require you input a string of numbers at the diallet screen to access this info.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
I found a code ##786# that's supposed to work on HTC Evo and HTC Hero, but it doesn't work on Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Doesn't work on the desire either. I'm very keen to learn whether or not there is such a code though.

Anyone?
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
In the market you can download an apps to view your call stats, call duration and etc... Not sure but you can try searching on call timer, or call stats...
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Nope, still can't find anything for life timer ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felixdd:
So the situation:

At work, I can access the Wifi network, for which my HD2 has legitimate access (I paid and everything).

My laptop...not so lucky.

I was wondering if there's a way to access the network through the HD2, have it connect to my computer by USB, and then have my computer access the Wifi through the HD2

So sort of like 3G tethering...except WAN-side is 802.11

Tried searching...wasn't able to come up with many obvious soultions in the current body of literature. Any ideas? Or am I stuck?

Its a big file so most networks require wifi to download updates, you can do it through dell pc suite if you don't have wifi...or stand somewhere near an open network :-) loads of cafés etc.. offer use of wifi too if you're stuck (McDonalds is a good one, if you like the food of course :-))

Hi,

Im looking for someone who can help port Android onto a new smartphone. Rather that try and go through the pain ourselves I was wondering if anyone here in this community has any experience of this.

Ideally im going to need some one with low level programing skills in c/c++ and obviously Embedded Linux, helping to write the device code etc etc.

We simply havnt got the time to do this ourselves and so if anyone has experience of it then please get in touch.
[Desire General] Andyokane:
Can someone please suggest to me a good radio that has decent battery life and no echo?

I have tried about 13 lately and I cant seem to get a good combo with the ROM I try with it.

I really like the latest Defrost 6.0h but finding a good radio that isn't sapping battery seems to be impossible.

Can people just post which rom+radio they are currently finding decent battery times, as I'm sure that's what we all really want in a ROM.

I know this sort of thing has been posted before but we now have a hell of a lot more choice regarding ROM decisions.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to post.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Echo issues were fixed with the FroYo radios, you shouldn't be getting any echo
[Desire General] Andyokane:
Hmmm strange. I definitely had some the other day when speaking in could hear it again about half a second later.

Don't have it now though, it's battery life I am interested in anyway :)
[Desire General] deaglun:
I'm using cyanogen 6.1-rc1 with 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and get very good battery life. no problems on calls etc.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Battery life is subjective. Everyone uses their phone differently so it's almost impossible to say which is best. I'm on the latest one currently and with FB/Twitter/weather all syncing every hour, 2 Gmail accounts on Push alerts and a bit of browsing I get over 24hrs...
[Desire General] Andyokane:
oh Yeah I totally understand its subjective, I only use mine for texting, occasional call or checking facebook etc, never anything severe.

Some drain battery really quick just in standby so im guessing these are not too good with high usage either. What im saying is the battery will drain either way...

You could try running a different battery to see if the problem still exists.Ive had several in the past that start to constantly over heat right before they stop holding a charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
Try turning off your radios, or just enable which ever you need to use. He may have too much stuff running which is putting a heavy load on the battery causing it to heat up.

"Remote droid" is very lightweigth and it just do the mouse thingy great, good as to use the remote server as a portable in a guest computer.

"Remote desktop" is a true windows remote console controller. The only thing I don't like is that in windows 7 it log off the current user. It ins't a mistake of the program but a security measure from win7. Did anybody create a multiuser account to avoid this?

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Deicist:
This is a licensing limitation of windows based client operating systems. If you want more than one user logged onto a desktop at once you need one of the server operating systems (server 2008 or whatever) windows xp, vista, 7 etc will only allow one user to be logged in at once whether they're physically at the machine or logging in via remote desktop. There's a hack for XP to (illegally) allow multiple remote desktop connecitons, not sure if there's one for 7.

Hello

I know my accelerometer works up to 28m/s2.

I belive its software limitation - probobly at bigger accelerations its not that sensitive - so its measurements are stopped at this value.

My question: is there any way to unlock accelerometer so it can work with bigger accelerations? How to do it?

The idea is to make program that is sort of "black box" in aeroplane.

[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
Ok, so here is the story.

I just cleared my battstats.bin with Voodoo off ran the battery down till it powered off, enabled Voodoo again before the battery went dead. When I plugged the phone in Voodoo started and completed the conversion while the phone was off and plugged in. Now that it is charged I can not get the phone to make it past the boot screen at all. I have attempted to just restore a CWM backup I had made but the MD5 is bad, when I restore one from a week earlier the phone just shuts itself off before even attempting to boot.

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" or if it has even been documented before.

So I guess what I am getting to the point of asking is what should I try next before I totally wipe the phone and start fresh?

****EDIT****

With the stock kernel I eventually get to a point where the screen is black and the softkey lights are on solid.
