That's way better battery life that I've ever gotten (even stock). I'm sitting at 94% battery, 3% voice calls, and 2% standby after 5 hours and 15 minutes since being unplugged. 71% left.
[Captivate Android Development] Loremonger:
Why do you have to flash to stock? When you flash a ROM, it overwrites the whole NAND anyway, right? How would disabling my current lagfix and then flashing straight to Axura be any different? I'm asking more out of ignorance than anything else, because apparently it IS different, I would just like to understand how.

Adam,

Does jk4 work with 2.4?

jl3 keeps bumping me from edge to 3g..

Thanks,

I am sure others here will give a deeper explaination, but this is the simplest way to explain.

Home PC starts bogging down and running badly.

You can use an OS Upgrade or a clean OS Install.

Using OS Upgrade will get you back up and running the new OS but the niggly little bits of crap are still in there, waiting to blow up.

Clean OS Install with a format results in a brand new, fast as possible experience.

Same thing with ROMS. Flashing does upgrade to latest ROM, but there is a very good chance some things are still hanging around, just waiting to bring down your phone.

For the additional 20 minutes you will spend flashing to original and MC, it will save you a lot of heartache down the road.

Because...when dealing with these phones...your dealing with Murphy's Law...ie..." Anything that can go wrong...will go wrong...at some point in time...and usually at the worst time" and when it comes to these phones...it's best to err on the cautious side...than the " It's too much of a PITA " side of things... No one likes doing it...it's time consuming..and a hassle...but you are better off with a completely clean slate to work with than to have anything left over that can and will cause you problems later on...

I'm not saying that your saying anything here...cause it's really a PITA...but one that is highly recommended...and usually the recommended approach.

JK4 works yes.. JK4 worked better for me than the Telus modem - your mileage may vary

you could flash whatever modem you want really.. doesn't mean it will work, but you could do it :)

Can anyone help me get rid of the grey notification bar in 2.3 for something with a little more color or something better?
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
Seti's v1.47 for 2.5 ? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
flashing to stock will DEFINITELY format your /system directory - this is why you want to flash to stock. when going from the same ROM but different versions, and also depending on what changes were done in between the new versions, sometimes you can just disable lagfix and flash the new version.. but make sure you read the changelog before going that route. If a kernel was replaced (IE xcaliburs to setiron) from v1 to v2, then you do NOT want to just disable lagfix and flash over, you would want to flash to stock first.
[Captivate Android Development] Bigdog1:
just my .02 on the matter of flashing ROMs. Since I have been flashing roms on my cappy I have not gone back to stock. i don't evem copy the file to my internal sd card. I have a 16Gb external card. I have created a folder called ROM FILES and dl all my rom file to that folder. when flashing I just navigat to that folder and viola! my flash goe thru. Right now I am on 2.4 and loving it. Everything is working just as fine as it can be. (the usual glitches like GPS is still threr but most of the other problems I am reading about here is not for me). My only gripe now is the bland notification bar that I would like to add some color to or change for a better one.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, it will work.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What kind of color and where?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Thanks, it is quicker when it's not bumping me (I was standing next to a window yet at my desk (normally a weaker signal) it was solid 3g (well H :) ).

Which if any lagfixes and tweaks (did) you have enabled on 2.4? if I remember right no tweaks, just the faster lagfix?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
hey adamh is there any way you can please sent the wallpapers you took out of 2.4?

i really miss the fight club on, the beach one, and the fire/water axura one!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Bigdog1:
every thing in the notification bar on the homescreen is either balck, white, or grey except when I get notification for missed calls or messaging or if an app is open then the apps generate a color icon. By default my bar is bland.

Could it be I am not flashing correctly?

I've not had an issue with BW working in any Axura version. The Pro version of FW also allows you to download skins from your phone. In the free version, you can go to there site and grab skin templates, copy them to your phone, and then select them.

Seems Google is forcing the new market update out...even if you didn't click on manual update...my Haptic feedback came back again right away..Something is just not playing right with this for me today..Went back to stock.. MC.. formatted both drives...and flashed back to a different rom to see what it does with it..What a way to spend a day...Could be worse I know...but very irritating

I managed to get the GPS to work :D Finally!!!

I dont know if its because the masterfix file that adamholden85 told me to flash, but today i tried the samsung gps restore. When it was done i got a lock in only 5 seconds with the gps test. I couldnt believe it so i turned the GPS off, drove around a bit and started the gps test again, and got a lock in less then 5 seconds with a direct 10 meter accuracy.

I still couldnt believe it so i turned the phone off, drove to a remote place and turned the phone on and started copilot, and again, a lock in 5 seconds. I drove to my work with copilot on and the accuracy was perfect. I tested the gps several times at work and always got a lock in max 7-8 seconds (i was counting).

After 8-9 hours when i was back home, i turned the gps on and started copilot, and again, a lock in only 5 seconds :D

I dont know if its because the masterfix in combination with the gps restore, but i have tried the gps restore several times before with other ROM versions and it never worked.
[Captivate Android Development] slmhofy:
Hey Adam,

Just wanted to let you know I think you have a really nice ROM here. I've only been running roms from designgears and decided to try something different. Not sure if I'll stay forever, but I just wanted to thank you and say you've done a fine job. Very smooth and I really like your personal touches.

There is a whole thread on mods for Axura. Since a few people wanted a little more color in the notification, I am working on creating a framework file with notification icons using some of the blues that are currently in the pull down.

[Captivate Android Development] ptc62:
I just wanted to share some of the bugs I'm seeing with 2.2:

1. Lose both cell and data connections after a random amount of time. I haven't noticed a pattern yet. I've missed calls, can't surf web etc even though the notification bar says I have full strength.

2. Using headphones to toggle music on and off I lose sound all together, again after so many uses, haven't been able to discover a pattern to this behavior.

3. Market takes several times to install/update apps. I believe this has already been noticed and stated by others just figured I'd add my experience to the tally.

Drive letter comes up CD drive

Question...dont know if this belongs here...its on Axura....when I plug my phone into computer via USB and turn on USB storage....the drive letter comes up as a CD drive....when I try to access the drive...It says please insert a disk into drive....This is on a Windows XP Professional 64bit SP2 work computer with 64bit drivers installed by my DIA.....any suggestions?

[Captivate Android Development] Joe Smithereens:
So I just load the file in the modem slot it odin and leave the rest blank? Is it really that simple?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Damn thanks button. No, you want to flash any modem with CWM. Something tells me if you had to ask that than you would completely mess up the phone using odin to flash the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Best way is to put the zip file on your sd-card. reboot into recovery and install it from there. It does not wipe data.
[Captivate Android Development] Xstop:
+1

yes yes yes

You can really botch things up if you think it's just a point and click thing.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Modems can be flashed using odin as well. Just put the modem file (not a cwm zip file) in the phone slot.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Oooohh shiny new poll o_O

So I've narrowed done the issue with my phone not charging while it is off and it's because of my RocketFish charger. I was able to charge with the phone off last night w/ my samsung charger when I went to bed. I'm officially 4815162342% in love w/ this rom!!!
[Captivate Android Development] darkovin:
I usually use CWM to flash my modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Xstop:
Think he was referring to someone who never used odin before.

But yea, I like flashing through odin though.

Flash

Things seem fine so far

at 10:53 CT had 100% charge

Turned on gps and tried to get a lock. Installed all apps, restored settings (had done master clear and did not do a tibu, just mean got everything back where it belongs and installed as I want it). at 12:00 phone had dipped to 81%.

Not able to get an indoor gps lock on spirent (sp?) or supl, even with location aiding on. will try later on supl out doors and then spirent if that doesnt work.

new music player syncs playlists and I like the widget. Not a huge fan of the layout interface of the actual app but will try it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
yes.......my external sd for moving files and photos and such.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Warranty for replacement is for 90 days, or the original warranty date, whichever is later. The problem is that warranty is voided by rooting the phone. If you can restore to stock conditions then you' re probably ok. If you are completely bricked there is a chance they will deny your claim.

[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
The install process stats by formatting system and data folders. There are some folders that are not removed unless you do odin to stock. Most times you can get away without stock, but it has a higher chance of maintaining some incompatible setting that will create problems. To me it is faster to add the flash to stock than to fight a bad system later on.

Hey guys,

Is there an alternative to Google Voice for voice mail. I tried GV and it a no-go for me. Just wondering if anybody is using something different. Cause I really love this rom and I want to keep it but if I can't get voice mails I will have to find another.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Changes so far

reverted back to jk4 by popular demand

reverted back to 1.4.3 again by popular demand

replaced music plaeyer widget as most of you wanted

lockscreen controls and audio boost

Added blinky for incoming notifications

Added rom manager

tweaked the framework-rockettman

Need to look into alt. email.apk

Hows this looking so far?

More to come before this release.

how do you turn off BLN? Ive tried several times turning it on and off in Recovery and have had 0 luck. could this be the cause of poor batt issue?

So i think im having some drain on my battery. Im currently at 72 % with some light use 4 hrs off charger ive reset battery stats twice. Ive run it all the way down and turned it off. Plugged it in and shows like no battery on the indicator. Then fully charged. Shows 100% start the phone up an it also shows 100 on the battery mod. So im pretty sure its calibrated. I hust am not getting very good battery. Im using.xcLiburands kernel and voodo is on. Everyting else works great. Any ideas?

do you have the apk's
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I see a lot of battery reports so here is mine on 2.4. On for 7.5 hrs and Im at 61% with the following:

Display 53 min

Voice calls 25 min

I have sent a few texts, surfed XDA a bit of course, tested GPS for a few minutes which is pretty darn good btw, and used bluetooth for most of my calls.

All in all I would say that is pretty solid battery performance. Not the insane times some report either direction but good for a ROM that performs this fast. I have not performed a battery calibration but did flash from 100% and bump charged before I did. I am also running UV for all settings. I cant seem to get them to stick on a boot though, Im sure it has to do with the naming of the file that defines that....does anyone know if it is suppose to be named something different on 2.4?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
My apps keep disappearing and I did a master clear and sd format and did not restore data... ideas? Kinda frustrating..

[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
I agree! Been running v1.43 forever up until v1.47, all the releases in between including v1.5xx were all unstable for me.

[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
A few things:

1. Any chance of fixing the nv_data over-write?

2. 1.4.3 works great, but it originally came out with read only file system.

3. Device id - is device id the same for everyone? Haven't heard complaints in this thread but I know it can create problems with some installations. I keep updating my device id using a restore app, but I know dg had a solution at some point.

I try to keep up with the thread as well as I can but I must be missing parts obviously. What is the reason most prefer JK4? I find the audio to be subpar to JL3 personally. Obviously this is something I can eaisly change so no big deal just trying to see what I'm missing?

Also, why 1.4.3? Again, something I can change so no big deal I just dont get what I am not seeing!

Yeah hence why I am still on 2.2, too confusing to keep track of the constant changing around I get ready to flash and then a new version comes out but without posting it on the front page
[Captivate Android Development] Scottbg1:
I agree as well. I had a suggestion a few days back that maybe instead of hitting the dev up, (Hans at the time) for constant changes to trivial things, make a thread with download links for the apks to all the apps people would like to have. I would think that a version change would be for things where more advanced fixes were made.

I believe someone has started such a section and added it in the "axura themes" thread in the captivate themes section.

Still loving this ROM though. :)

You're correct, I did....

[Captivate Android Development] Scottbg1:
You do realize that most benchmarks are inacurate at best? I tend to guage the roms performance by the eye. Are your programs (i.e., video games) running without lag? Is the ROM reliable? Meaning no force closings on some apps due to the ROM not being able to handle all running processes?

I doubt very seriously that ANY build for any device has a benchmark of better than 2000 and it be true.

NOt meaning to sound too critical of your post but I would hope you wouldn't judge how poorly a ROM might be performing stricty from these unreliable bench tests.

:)
[Captivate Android Development] Scottbg1:
And a big thank you for doing that!! :)
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
The version we are on is in the title of the thread, 2.4 and if you hover over the download link it says 2.4.

He forgot to update the build number but we have to keep in mind that he just took this over and its not an easy job. I am sure he will increment the build numbers in future releases, minor or not. I am sure updates on the front page will improve, etc.

I have had no problem keeping up with what is going on by reading the posts, what I see is him trying to get a handle of everything and he is doing a pretty good job in my opinion...better than we are doing with our ROMs :D
[Captivate Android Development] Scottbg1:
