that's cool... I look appreciated lol

Thanks though... I might just run it w/o a theme.. I love the way the drop down buttons are, that;'s why i haven't tried any other theme than blackfroyo

What are you talking about? Look at the changelog on the second post of the thread. Under RC2.2: Updated Xacaliburs 2.2.1 Kernel w/ Voodoo 5.1. Under RC2.1: Xcaliburs kernel.

Both the current RC2.1, and the soon-to-be-delivered RC2.2 are using the xcal kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
Im wondering this too....
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
Read second post mate. It's going to have xcalibur's kernel.

voice mail does not work is definately not a non issue issue

its an issue issue lol

Please keep it clean in here. We live by the rule if you wouldn't want your kids to see it please don't write it. not a big deal as I can see you are new.

[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
Unless you use Google Voice.... then its a non issue.... I love the visual voicemail too much to go back to at&t voicemail.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
+1 I have not used my at&t voice mail for about a year and a half now and its been going great.

Can't wait till the next release, but take your time hans. I am running RC1 and could run it for another month before I would get bored. This ROM is awesome!

Thanks Hans for coming back to our dev community.
[Captivate Android Development] noidd:
Seriously, you're even notified twice of a Voicemail, txt and email. Not sure why people don't like it?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
yeah it appears google voice works a bit better now, i used to have a ton of problems with it. although it still doenst translate very well but not a huge deal.

the problem is i didnt know i had missed voicemails, because it said i have none.

then google voice and i had a ton lol

RC2.2 Question

When moving to RC2.2 from RC 2.1, (and I apologize if this has been addressed already), do we need to flash back to stock and follow the original procedures (Odin, Master Clear, ect) that we did to get to RC2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
How to flash Axura Roms.

Roms Should be Flashed will 100% battery

1. BACK UP!!!

3. Load Clock Work update zip (attached at end of post) and new rom file to Phone memory

4. Remove sim and external SD

5. Boot into Recovery and reinstall packages (x2)

6. Once in Clock work recovery (Green Text) Select install zip from SDcard

7. Next Select Choose zip from sdcard

8. Scroll down to AXURA 2.x and select.

9. If prompted on reboot to select an option choose with backup and restore. (for auto lagfix)

10. Let it finish and dont touch it till you see the launcher screen. Will this take awhile? YES

I always do, as it's the best way to avoid issues..:D
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Request

Could the next update be a .exe to install it, and have a choice of start up screens ? (HANDS)

As I have tried five times to get the hands start up screen.

AND IT WON'T INSTALL ! ?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
What are you using to move the bootanimation? Which one are you trying?
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
I'd love to see the I9000 ROM bootscreen changed to the attached file but after searching around, it seems the params.lfs can't be modified..if i understand correctly that is.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
From what I understand, it's a BIG project. Don't know for sure myself though
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
i'm still nervious to try to flash this D:

I don't want a 500 dollar brick!
[Captivate Android Development] dpmurphy81:
Then I wouldn't if you have reservations , you always take a chance going from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
theres problems going from stock?

even if I flash clockwork recovery and the lot
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
You paid full price?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
no but its still worth a lot!

How problematic is it to get onto a custom rom the first time from stock?

D:

I just need to root , install clockwork , backup rom, backup apps, and flash the update.zip with clockwork?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Follow the FAQ on the first page and you will be fine
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You have got nothing to worry about. Many of us at XDA have flashed hundreds of times!! Including myself. You will be ok if you follow the instructions. Follow the FAQ and if you don't understand something ask us.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
I don't think I have been on one rom for more than two days since I bought this thing 1 month ago! Lol
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
The firs thing I dont under stand is... is there a difference between download mode(power + both volumes) and just power + volume down.

I have used the second one to reboot a few times...

I'm going to start off by rooting and installing clockwork recovery
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
2 days?!? Loiterer :p
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If I were you and wanted done piece of mind, make sure you know how to recover, and can do it before flash.

download usb drivers (presuming you have a windows pc)

Download odin one click from faq

Attempt to get into download mode

Explained in odin thread. See if odin recognizes your device.

If you can do this you can recover from almost anything
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
lol flashing your captivate isnt scarry 99.99% of the time even if u screw up u can fix it easlily.

just noticed the changedlog fo 2.2 was posted

any idea when the download klink will be up?
[Captivate Android Development] dpmurphy81:
Yea Just remember that this phone is real solid and hard to brick, but since you are stock just follow the FAQ it is a good starter guide I would suggest you download all the odin one click stock for your phone and make sure you have all drivers installed for the phone on your computer.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Use the power down with the volume and power button on boot. It works better IMO.

Anything else?
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
With mine, I pull the battery, remove the SIM and SD card. I then plug in the USB. I push the volume up and volume down with two fingers (not using the power button), then put the battery back in. You should see the image in the attachment... This is download mode you shouldn't need this going from stock to ROM, only the other way round.

To go from stock to ROM, I have installed ROM manager (Clockwork). From that I boot to recovery, once in recovery I install zip from SD card, choose the ROM zip and away we go. I've done it a lot, never had problems. 1st time is scary though... Find a FAQ, that is easy to understand, like page 1 here and follow it step by step. You'll be a ROMaholic like the rest of us in no time...
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I just tried one click root and the copying of the update.zip failed o_O everything is set up usb debugging , my SD is mounted
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Do not mount your sd when you connect it to the pc. Just plug it in with debuggin checked and leave it and then run the one click root
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
oh im a doofus
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
+1

I really think it is virtually impossible to tank a phone so bad it has to be replaced. Unless the "BIOS" (Samsung bootloader) takes a dump, or coincidental hardware failure happens, both of which would kill a stock phone, anything is recoverable. Depending on the series phone, you might have to jig it, but it is still recoverable. Heck, they're kid proof, thank God... :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] xeni:
Sorry guys if this has been asked before but i just want to make sure i don't brink my phone until i get my USB jig in by mail so i don't have to worry about this anymore. My current captivate doesn't support 3-button download mode.

I have flashed cognition without any issues but this one has some instructions that I am not sure 100%. Please see below if you could answer them that would be great.

1. BACK UP!!! - done

2. Use Odin One click to Flash Stock and Master Clear - I just revereted back to stock, should I have clicked MASTER CLEAR before reverting back when I got into download mode?

3. Load Clock Work update zip (attached at end of post) and new rom file to Phone memory

4. Remove sim and external SD - Done

5. Boot into Recovery and reinstall packages (x2) - What 2 packes am I re-installing?

6. Once in Clock work recovery (Green Text) Select install zip from SDcard

7. Next Select Choose zip from sdcard

8. Scroll down to AXURA 2.x and select.

9. If prompted on reboot to select an option choose with backup and restore. (for auto lagfix)

10. Let it finish and dont touch it till you see the launcher screen. Will this take awhile? YES

Thanks Guys

Man, there have been times I've hit twice a day(Like today for that matter)
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
does anyone know when 2.2 is supposed to be released?

looked but i couldnt find anything
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
What did you break? :D
[Captivate Android Development] Aron1980:
xeni, do the master clear after your phone boots back up from the Stock reflash. Have your SD card and SIM card out first. I pull them both before flashing back to stock myself. When you reinstall packages that is installing the update.zip you put on your phone's internal card ( so you can used Clockwork to flash axura). Other than that, you got the process down
[Captivate Android Development] Aron1980:
itch....itch.....2.2......itch... =D
[Captivate Android Development] dpmurphy81:
Engadget qouted Samsung is almost ready to release to the captivate by 1 jan and vibrante is starting to push 2.2

[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
As Far as the x2 it means you may have to reinstall the package twice. I will edit the FAQ toi be more clear
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
1. Master Clear is usually done after you Odin back to stock.

5. It is a "link" to get you to the list that will allow you to install the Clockwork(Make sure to rename it to update)
[Captivate Android Development] xeni:
Thanks guys, I will re-flash my phone back to stock and perform a master clear.

where in hell does titanium backup save stuff i mounted my sd card and the folder isnt there

Please backup your photos and videos first
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
how do i make it post to my external to be a true backup
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Only the paid version will actually back it up to your external sd card

One thing..

My battery is going dead A LOT FASTER than it did on the 2.0v ?

WHY ?

Or do I have to read thru 166 pages to try and find a solution, that I can easily do to fix it ?
[Captivate Android Development] renden:
Have you tried flashing back to stock with this ODIN one-click method?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439

Should fix your 3 button issue. Did for mine.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Hit the menu key, go to preferences, change your backup folder name to

external_sd/titaniumbackup

EXACTLY like that
[Captivate Android Development] xeni:
That was the first thing that I did before I upgraded to cognition so I have nothing on the phone besides contacts on my sim card. Thanks for the reminder :)
[Captivate Android Development] icnu01:
I seem to have one weird problem. I have done the Odin to stock trick, but I can't seem to get it to master clear. I've flashed to stock, then went back to download, but when I click on master clear it just sits there. Nothing happens for 10-15 mins. Everything seems to be running fine and I have flashed to 3 different versions of Axura, but no matter what I can't master clear. Am I trying to do it at the wrong time, or should I even really care?

Also just for data's sake. I am now using 2.1 with the jk4.zip everything else stock to this rom. The battery life seems better than before, but things are slower,and weird I know, I have to hit the soft buttons a couple of times before they respond. I did just do a battery recal so maybe that helped with the battery thing. I'm still not sure I like this kernal though.

Since I put in the jk4 my dl speeds seem a little better and my gps is a little better, but still kinda off. I didn't check it much when I was totally stock, but it seemed pretty good then as well the couple of times I used it. Like I said though I wasn't paying real close attention.
[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
Search this thread for my posts. I did brick my phone and had to do the hardware jig because the three button recovery technique doesn't seem to work on my phone. So if you want total piece of mind, get a jig before you flash. Now that I have the jig, I have no fear.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Master clear after you have booted up
[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
I hit that too. Disconnect phone, turn on USB debugging, reconnect phone and enable mass storage. If the flash to stock made it go to MTA mode for usb, you'll need to turn that off too (usb options)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
To get it to Master Clear-

1. Close Odin

2. Unplug your USB from your phone

3. Restart Odin

4. (Not necessary)Re-boot your phone

5. Make sure to have de-bugging enabled

6. Plug your USB into your phone

7. Hit Master Clear

You don't need to do anything else. It should only take a couple of min
[Captivate Android Development] icnu01:
So are you saying do not go into download mode? Or do I let it boot normally. Then shut it down and restart into download?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've never had any luck with enabling mass storage when trying to master clear.

It will only go into MTA if you have not enabled de-bugging
[Captivate Android Development] icnu01:
Ok. If there is a new release tonight I'll try tomorrow. I think what might be the problem is that I did not close and restart Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
before i see if download mode works is there a way to get out of it if i just want to test it!?
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
Master clear is hit or miss. I've tried it a few times, never worked. I don't even try and I'm none the worse for wear. Several others have said here that they don't master clear, no problem. If your using ROM Manager (Clockwork) to flash, you can use the factory reset from recovery. Not the same, but I think sufficient.

Factory Reset resets the phone memory to all things factory (settings wise, not filewise).

Master Clear resets the phone mem and erases the internal SD.

I've flashed a few dozen times and gone back to stock as many times, never used either myself.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
That's right. After you have flashed back to stock, unplug your usb and let it boot up normally. After it's done booting, block master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] xidcat:
You have a stock phone and you are just flashing Axura right? (If I can still read) If so, you shouldn't need download mode. Download mode is normally only used when using Odin going back to stock from a custom ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Yes just pull the battery. As long as you aren't in the middle of flashing, you'll be all right
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
i still want to test my three button thingy
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
So do it?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Yeah, just 3 button it, when it gets in, just navigate(Vol up and vol down) to reboot, and hit power to select. Good to go
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
it didn't boot into download mode with the three button test only recovery mode!

weird!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Download mode will only come when you hit vol up +vol down ONLY, hold them and THEN plug in the USB cable

Recovery mode is the 3 button
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Download mode doesn't involve the power button. Hold volume up/down while plugging in the usb and it should get to download mode
[Captivate Android Development] gregoor:
Will it be? will it be tonight?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
i think hansmrtn has a game to go to and he said he will release tomorrow!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Additional GPS fix

As most of you know one of the reasons the GPS is now working is because of a certain set of files I along with Hans realized worked very well with this ROM, the JM9 files. I have tinkered around and found that along with the JM9 there are 3 other files that I have added that improved the GPS yet again. They are known as the Jupiter files and were originally posted by CLShortFuse. I have attached them. All you do is extract them and inject them into the ROM in their respective places and reboot, delete GPS data and enjoy! Only attempt this if you are comfortable using root explorer and really understand what you are doing. Please do not explode the thread with "How do I" questions. I have a feeling this is also the set of files Hans may be including in 2.2. Don't quote me on that by any means, but try this if you like.

FYI- The files go into the corresponding folders.

1. secgps.conf goes in the data>gps folder

2. gps.conf+jupiter.xml go into the system>etc folder.

Do not attempt to flash this zip file. It will lock the phone and a battery pull will be required!!

PS. I got 5 meter accuracy in my house!
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
awesome , although ihave to wonder why hamsmartin doesnt include this in his rom?

Flash to Stock JF6/Master Clear

I spent some time to write this up. I think it is as about as detailed as I can get it.

Odin is very particular, so follow exactly, or you'll run into issues.

Flash to Stock JF6:

1. Make sure your USB cable is connected directly to the back of your computer, not a USB hub or to a front connection and all of your drivers have been previously installed

2. Do not connect your USB cable yet.

3. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”

4. Turn your phone off

5. Remove your SIM card and Micro SD if you have one

6. Open Odin One Click

7. On your phone, press and hold the Volume up and the Volume down buttons. Do not touch the power button

8. While holding them, insert your USB cable, wait for a couple of seconds and a yellow triangle with the Android figure will show up

9. You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered

10. Press “Start”

11. Do Not mess with your phone at all

12. When it is done, your phone will reboot and Odin will display “Removed”

13. Unplug your USB cable from your phone

14. If you are proceeding to Master clear, you must close Odin BEFORE Master Clear

Master Clear:

1. Ensure you have backed up all of your information onto your Micro SD or your desktop BEFORE doing this. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL SD!!

2. Make sure to remove your SIM and Micro SD if you have one

3. With your USB cable disconnected from your phone, open Odin One Click

4. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”

5. Connect your USB cable to your phone

6. You’ll in Odin, that your phone has been discovered

7. Click “Master Clear”

8. When the Master Clear has completed, your phone will reboot

9. You’ll need to re-enable USB Debugging again
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
He has made changes to the GPS files in 2.2. It is still going to include the original fix, but with additional tweaks. It very well may be this one. Building a ROM and updating it enough to keep its flash happy users happy is very time consuming. If he were to put everything into just one area there would never be any updates. That is why there is a small army on this ROM that Hans has brought to us.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
This is pretty nice. We should get this on the opening thread to alleviate some of the questions we keep getting over and over and over and over and well, you get the point.
[Captivate Android Development] sifulee:
Are the JM9 files already included in this ROM?

Music Quality

Quick question....I flashed the rom and everything is AMAZING!!!! BLazing fast and freakin awesome to look at..but i have noticed a difference in the music quality. In the stock version of 2.2 my music sounded like it had louder bass...you cant really tell with earphones on but in my car (with a $5000 stereo system) it sounds considerably less bass-y. Can anyone tell me how or if this can be fixed? Also i have tested this against my ipod and there is a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, that is the main fix I realized worked and Hans through it in. That is why you can actually use the GPS unitl
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:

Download audioboost from the market, works great!
[Captivate Android Development] redsox21:
I have heard that it is good....but i was wondering if there was a more permanent fix to the problem. Plus i dont wanna pay for the app :P lol im cheap
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
If you use the stock android music player, there is a EQ installed. It actually works pretty well. I use it connected to my system(not quite 5k worth, closer to 1.5k)

The one down side I notice with using the Cap this way, is that the audio quality/volume is a little degraded coming out of the headphone jack. It works well, but not as well as the iPod connection or a USB
