i see, well then that's not so bad, i thought you wanted the straight up touchwiz crap that can't be customized whatsoever. I normally use ADW so I thought you were trying to take away my freedom :)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
i was playing around with other ROMs while waiting on this new release this afternoon. i just flashed this v2.0 on top of cognition v2.3b6, didnt have problems on flashing. haven't got chance to test other funtions though.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Take away your freedom??? Not at all... Isn't that why we are all running Android and not using an iPhone?

If you would like the apk. I'm happy to share it.
[Captivate Android Development] deadly0ne:
If you want the TW Launcher, the easier method is to download and install the launcher from the SGS Tool app in the android market. There are several types of TW Launcher's you can choose from. :D Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Hmm I will try this out.never thought about assigning a fixed ip.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
This is what worked for me...

[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
As I've done with each previous version, I dropped it into system/app. For some reason on this ROM it is not sticking

I have all of the TouchWizGTG Launcher v1.1.1 APK's on my machine and have not had this problem in any previous versions of this ROM... I also have the SGS Tool app. Are you suggesting that this will give me a choice of the above mdified TW? This is not Samsungs basic TouchWiz.... See pictures http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9537190&postcount=112.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Is that the GTG TouchWiz? I've been using it with 4.3 and it's been working great. How are you installing it?
[Captivate Android Development] deadly0ne:
Yes, the SGS Tool app will give you the option of the launcher you want *5 dock icon launcher with rotate*. I am using that one myself installed from the app.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Got it! Thanks for all the help.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Thx guys! That fixed the GPS for me. For other noobs to Android (like yours truly):

- Download & install "SGS Tools" from the Market.

- Secret Codes / GPS-Test and settings (LBSTestMode).

- Click "Delete GPS Data"

- Click "Get Position Test".
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Good news indeed. Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Day two on 4.3 with zero issues. GPS is solid, battery life is long, no FC's. Its fast, clean and stable. Great work Mikey - not sure what else you can add in the next version. If it's not broke, don't try to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
My only problem is that this is the only rom that doesn't seem to sync with AT&T address book. Otherwise, seems nice. Only rom that seems to show H for HSUPA mode as well.
[Captivate Android Development] fionic:
why would you need AT&T address book when all your contacts sync to google....?
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
I've been using 4.3 for almost three days now.the first two days were amazing this thing didn't think about anything. It just did anything and everything I told it to do on the spot. But when my battery got real low, like in the red. It started rebooting itself randomly. I tried just charging it back up top full but that didn't stop the restarts. I had to limit the cpu speed to 1000 mhz to get the thing not to restart anymore.

Is there some connection to that and the oc kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] jev3gs:
I am about to give up

So I have been trying to install this rom unsuccessfully for 2 days now. I have tried flashing my phone 10 times now and I get the same result everytime... freezes during the boot up screen with the android on it. The dots always freeze at the bottom after a couple of minutes. I have downloaded the rom from 2 different sources, same problem. I have left the sim in there, and have taken it out also, same problem. I can't just figure out what is going wrong. Is there anything in the steps that is possibly missing that is just assumed? I am following to what I see but I still have the issue.

Is everyone using a certain version of the ClockWork Recovery that maybe I am missing?

By the way, I have installed another froyo rom without a hitch.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
"Phone" contacts don't sync to google. I realize I can just make everything a google contact but I'd rather not explain why I do things the way I do. I just know that this ROM didn't allow me to sync to ATT address book.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
Most likely its the 1300 OC in 4.3. Try 4.1 which only has 1280 or get a 1200 SetiroN 1.4.3 build and put that on instead.
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
I installed the SGS Tool app and can't find a way to install launchers. Could you explain how you did this? Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] jev3gs:
I guess i didnt think of the OC screwing things up. I will give it a try. i am assuming there is no way to disable OC upon install?
[Captivate Android Development] Delgoth:
From my reading most of the froyo roms include a lagfix of some kind. Maybe try disabling them through clock work or some other method before trying to flash this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Open SGS and then select Upgrade Stock apps. The launcher are in there. I would also suggest you DL Home Switcher from the market so you can then assign a default and switch back if you choose.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I'm sure you did, but have to ask if you went back to stock first?
[Captivate Android Development] fionic:
I guess... weirdo
[Captivate Android Development] jev3gs:
If i choose not to backup and restore that should not install the lag fix right?
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
This is a Canadian based rom, so any at&t stuff has to be baked back in by the chef, if I'm not mistaken. I sell phones for at&t and the main reason I am so active here is that I can't stand the crapware loaded on to the phones they sell. Use google to back up all your numbers... It will work even if you leave at&t. This is my second cappy from them and it is so nice to flash a fresh new ROM and only have to put in my gmail creds and download tibu...
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Exactly... Take the red pill, young one.. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Yeah, after some wonkiness with titanium backup and my contacts and address book, I'm gonna go full google.
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
FYI - I changed it to auto config (leaving it at standalone, and supl.google.com and secure socket) and now it locks in <10 seconds and is pretty accurate.
[Captivate Android Development] charlie310:
I tried this to no avail. The Position Test just keeps going on and on. The only time I was ever able to get Google Navigation to work was after I ran GPSRestore on my stock 2.1. I guess can either have wi-fi hotspot but no navigation on this rom, or no wi-fi hotspot but navigation on stock rom. *Sigh*
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I just flashed my wifes Cappy and ran the same test... the first time it returned nothing. I then ran the other test in SGS, I think it's the bottom button(sorry, don't have my phone on me) its a timed test that runs 30 times with a 20 second delay between runs. Let that run until you get lock... might take awhile, then run the position test and you will get lock. I also suggest you enable sensors and towers to aid with positioning.

Good Luck and let me know!

PS - you can stop the timed test after you get lock once or twice.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Been a few days now and I see no reason to make any changes.....

GREAT ROM..... Been watching xcals Kernel for interesting additions,,,,but everything is so stable I dont want to mess it up...at least until 2011...

Plus from what I have seen of Gingerbread...I don;t care for the theme and icons. Lovin Darkness theme......Other than look what else is Gingerbread offing up?

Wondering when HTC will release their W7 phone with Android. Looks just like the Captivate but its HTC ....... Samsung support is as brutal as their "gotta have a driver to go into mass storage mode" Phone..

brightness

So in the clock app if you hit that brightness button it dims that phones screen by a lot, is there a way to apply that dim universally? i think my phone is still too bright for the lowest settings
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
so quick question..which file/files on the tibu batch restore..is the one that holds all your sms/txt msgs? the sms/mms/apn storage or contacts storage or prefs mms or dialer storage..which one or ones? is it one of the green ones or the red ones..cause they fall under system i belive..cause everytime i flash a new rom and restore..i cant get calls..i can only make calls..and somestimes if that doesnt happen..ALWAYS i get the application dialer process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. not sure if its dialer storage 2.2 or any other others or so..please help! thanks. i dont care about call logs..just my sms/txt msgs..i can change my settings ne time..doesnt take that long..cause i was told not save system files..just app and data..right? please help me..thank you again..
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I suggest you download the free app in the market called SMS backup. That is the easiest way I have found to manage your messages. You could also use an app called Android Manager and sync them to your PC via WiFi.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
This worked for me. For some reason my GPS stopped functioning yesterday afternoon. If I recall correctly (read on XDA) new modems bring new drivers for GPS. So I then reflashed the epic GPS files and JM9 fix in that order. Ran GPS test, all looked good. I then ran navigation and got a lock within a few seconds.

Epic GPS files (the first download option)

I'm not sure if flashing them both was necessary but it came to me, I tried it and it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Never a good idea to restore system files unless you're restoring to the same exact rom/kernel/modem. I use a program called "my backup pro". It's not free but it works. It zips my text messages (sms & mms) and call logs to my external sd card and restores them easily. I like tibu but I've also started using my backup pro to reinstall apps + data and it works well for that too. I like it because it's a click restore (albeit tibu pro has that option too).
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
I decided to try and track down where the issue started so reverted back to a 4.1 CW backup and then just loaded 4.2. Upon waking up this morning I had the kernel panic screen. Seems like the issue started in the 1.4.4 kernel.

As for the voltage control, it just FCs when you try to start it. Already tried reinstalling it.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Great to know for future reference! Thx.

In Case of Charge/Sleep Death

Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing I was. I was getting charge death when leaving the phone plugged into the charger overnight with this ROM. I had even set the CPU Freq. to 1000Mhz in the voltage app (didn't change the voltage any) and still got the charge death the next morning.

What I did yesterday was flashed the 2.2 reoriented kernel, and did not have a turned off phone this morning when waking up.

This kernel does NOT have any overclocking, and I'm pretty sure (not at the computer I used to do the flashing at the moment) that I used the novoodoo version.
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
It's a safe bet, especially if you flash your phone a lot. Every ROM has different stuff cooked in and the only real constant is that ol' google account.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
I recently got charge death on the newest cognition. It was enough to steer me away from ALL OC/UV ROMs. I really wish they would make that optional and not built in =/.

But now that I read your post, I'm thinking of giving that a shot. How exactly do you flash a new kernal?

It was a pain in the ass but I finally transferred all my numbers over to my google account.
[Captivate Android Development] mkoby:
Fortunately the link I gave, they have flashable zips (for clockwork recovery mod). Otherwise, you use Odin and put the kernel TAR file in the PDA slot.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Ah cool. I think I will test it out later then.

Gmail Black Theme

Mikey, I've searched everywhere but couldn't find anything regarding a black theme gmail app. I found a couple guys working on it and if they produce a black theme gmail.apk, would you consider including this in one of your updates. I think it would be a lot easier on the eyes and the battery. Just a request, thank you for all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
I'm pretty sure you can use voltage control to remove the OC by changing the clock speed from 1300 to 1000 mhz. Please correct me if I am wrong. I prefer not to OC my phone as well since I don't think there is enough increase in performance to warrant the risks that come with an OC.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I prefer the aosp look and for themes to be optional.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Charging death is somewhat common with these OC/UV ROMs without regard to the ROM in play... I don;t need or use them anymore. I am happy with my speed and batterylife

I have not had a single issue since flashing this combo in my sig..
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
YES...YES

The black themes are much easier on the battery as well. I wish I cold find a Gmail app with white on black

Mikey,

I've been on 4.3 with Set's 1.4.3, JL3, for a day or 2 and I tell ya, this is a GREAT rom. I was on 2.0(Which was a beauty too). It's solid and it just runs, and runs well. It is a shame to hear about SetiroN, getting out of the game. But the combo you have here is excellent.

Well done Sir!

[Captivate Android Development] jorge_moran_jams:
Help please...

I'll be honest here... It's been a couple of days since I haven't had a stable ROM :( the last ROM that was fine for me was Cognition 2.4.1 after that I jumped to Cognition 2.3b7 and Perception B8... But even though I tried the non oc/uv version of those ROMs I would still get strange behavior, mostly with m3u playlists, then I switched to Assonance, playlists worked flawless, I loved the new Swype, it was great, but GPS wasn't good at all... and on top of that I had that dead on battery charging thing that's common with overclocked ROMs even though I set it to use 1000 Mhz as maximum speed... I read a couple of posts above that it was possible to flash something on top of assonance to make the GPS work and stop the phone from turning itself off when charging by flashing a different kernel or something...

Could somebody please explain what I'm messing with if I do that, is it dangerous, could it be possible to get what I need?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Try assonance with xcaliburs kernel. You'll lose overclocking BUT its incredibly stable. Gps works great too. You can also flash jk4 over it.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
mikey, any chance of serendipity tonight? I was gonna try your rom tonight after trying cog and perception to see how I like it. Been seeing nothing but good things about your work :) Sitting at stock.......waiting to flash assonance.....errr.......serendipity lol

Doubt it....
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:

[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Ok so just flashed to this rom and so far so good. Question though, my BLN is still showing up for gmail, even though I went into CWR and disabled BLN's ?

Also whats coming in 4.4 or whatever that we need to look forward to? Since I am new to the Assonance world I am interested to see whats in the works.
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
there is an app on the market called BLN control. Use that. I used it and that worked out fine.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Sounds good... if it comes tomorrow it'll give me something to do at work...;)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I guess you will be using one of the two kernel setiron did for JPU correct?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I've been using xcaliburhand's kernel, with a disable-lagfix folder on my SD Card to make flashing faster.

What makes it in the end I don't know.
[Captivate Android Development] raz123:
Has anyone used AllShare on Assonance?

It seems to have been taken out from this ROM.

I have been unsuccessful at reinstalling it.

Any tips?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Does this mean no more overclocking?
[Captivate Android Development] extragoodcat:
I'm getting my captivate tomorrow and have been doing a bunch of research as to which rom I want to flash first, and I've decided to go with assonance as it seems to be the most vanilla and stable experience.

However, I don't have any interest in overclocking (I'm also afraid of overcharge death as I use my phone as my alarm clock) so I'm thinking about using xcalibur's kernel. Is it as simple as overwriting the zImage file in the 'updates' folder in the rom zip with the one out of the 'kernel_update' from xcal's kernel? Do any other files need to be replaced?

Also, do I need to replace the modem as well or will xcalibur's kernel work fine with the modem included with the assonance rom?

Thanks alot for any help, it is much appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Congrats!

No other files need to be replaced. You can also flash the kernel via cwm, after disabling lagfix of course . I've run jk3 and jk4 with this rom/kernel and both worked well. Jk3 is preinstalled.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I guess I can always use one of the two he did...i hate losing the oc
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
JL3 works great with this ROM. I have no problems to mention and am enjoying excellent GPS, Reception, Upload/Download speeds and battery life.

CWM backup and recovery problems

I noticed when I try to take a nandroid backup of this rom, that there is an error in the end related to backing up SD EXT. Also, when I tried to restore from a backup taken earlier today, the MD5 check sums fail. Is there something about the lagfix that affects the back-up/restore process?
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
It works fine on this Rom. Don't install it normally, drop it directly into /system/apps using root explorer.

Sent by an Assonance.
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
I'll apologize before hand. I keep reading about charging death associated with oc. Either I haven't looked hard enough or I suck at googling. I'm going to flash to a new rom next weekend. I haven't had any issues leaving my phone charging overnight (if I don't, I wake up with only between 60-70% battery life.

What do I need to be aware of?
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Basically what happens is the phone crashes or locks up in the night while charging. Sometimes you'll find the charging indicator sometimes you won't. This is caused by the phone not being 100% stable with the applied overclock. To prevent this from happening you can either not overclock or adjust your UV settings until the overclock is stable. I've had it happen to me on multiple occasions and have never seen any negative after effects.
[Captivate Android Development] TeeUUGee:
Damn...but I have a good feeling it'll be worth the wait!

Still haven't found a ROM worth switching from Assonance.

Well,im stuck with no computer tonight. Im reallllly tired of axura I don't like it and I wanna flash this,do I HAVE to odin back to stock on the computer before I flash this?
[Captivate Android Development] TeeUUGee:
I ALWAYS flash back to root before installing any ROM! It doesn't take long and I want a clean slate to run/test on.

Better to be safe than sorry....
[Captivate Android Development] abraden80:
Yeah I've always done the same. But would there be any consequences of not odin'ing back to stock before the flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I have flashed roms without flashing back to jf6, but they always had little issues. I'd recommend to just flash back to jf6.
[Captivate Android Development] TeeUUGee:
Not sure about what consequences there are, but I haven't seen a ROM dev that hasn't specifically stated (usually in bold) to flash back.
