Please do continue this project..Damn the torpedoes...full steam ahead...

If anyone is expecting a perfect flash & install and everything work 100% for everybody with all the variations of Captivates that are floating around every frigging time...THEY ARE FRIGGING NUTS.

Adam...just keep making it better...and quit trying to please everybody. All you can do is have a couple of base roms with all the goodies in each...and make everything else easy to install. Hell let folks add or subtract from it...If they don't know how...that is what the support thread is suppose to be for...to be a place to be able to get help with it.Find cool things to add to it..and try it out yourself...cause like you already said...if it doesn't work for you..you ain't going to post up here...you just have to remember and not get upset or feel pressured to make major changes or not offer some thing just a handful of folks are having issues with...It may not work for everyone every time...but it will for a whole bunch of people...

You will never please everybody 100% of the time Bro...and what you have put out works pretty damn good...and looks pretty damn nice..Not everybody can or will appreciate yours and everyone before you major time involvement..nor all of yours and their's hard work...Some folks expect 100% perfection...and complain when they don't get it...so don't let those who complain about KNOWN ISSUES with these type of roms get you down. Some folks refuse to research what they are doing.....and as a result...they have problems...add to this swapping things around on a phone that is known to have quality control issues from the factory...well...I know I'm preaching to the choir about it...which is why I said what I did in my PM to you...

Feel good about what you've done...and keep up the good work my friend...cause...Haters going to Hate...;)

Adam

You are doing a good job and are appreciated by the people who follow this rom. Please do not feel the need to put every request into a release or, put out a release every other day. I think you care too much, if that makes sense. try not to burn yourself out. Do not get a divorce because you spend more time deving then you do talking to your wife. this is a hobby for the love of our phones. Thank you again for your efforts

I am not as good as all you guys are with all this flashing stuff. If I install Axura 2.3 on my Captivate, it will be locked again? I read in this thread that I need to make a copy of the /efs file system to restore the original nv_data files. What is the best advise for this?

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I think its running great personally. I prefer this to 2.2 myself, I was just thinking why I would flash again (and of course the reason is to keep up with all of you). Its solid man, good job. I have zero suggestions, I tweaked a few minor things myself like the modem but thats personal preference not anything with the ROM. Very good job man, no worries. We all appreciate what you have done!!
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I'm hoping Axura hits version 3.0 with Gingerbread soon. a few of the Devs are getting a system dump right now!
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
OK Adam, you were asking for feedback so here's mine.

I was coming from Cognition B6. Did a OneClick and Master Clear before flashing. I've got

First impressions are that this runs EVEN SMOOTHER than Cog did.

The Gingerbread keyboard... Not sure what the hype is about but the keys are smaller, I prefer the Froyo one...

I appreciate you having the Reboot options in the power menu.

There is an awful lag at the stock lock screen though, at first. Totally unresponsive most of the time. The power button will turn it on/off and my touch will brighten the screen up but it appears to be frozen. It takes many tries before it responds. I read something about the charging messing some stuff up in the Perception thread but in my case, it can be unplugged and it'll still do it.

I cycled through the various lock screens and came back to the puzzle one and now it works. Weird.

I also had the phone freeze up on me when going into the WiFi settings (the settings app crashed). I waited it out and eventually it came up.

Fancy Widget is nice, thanks for the include. As well as the new Facebook.

I also haven't checked out the Music app, are there controls for it on the lock screen? I hope it supports playlists as well.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Has anyone experienced charging death with the OC version yet?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
The boot wake lock screen is a little laggier than the Cog Versions from what I've noticed all though I use an animated wall (didnt really make a diff on a static wall either).

Music app is nice, syncs playlists from pc (sailing media). No lock screen controls BUT there is a really cool widget (he was right, I do love it!)

Working on it. I have the system folder. I need the dump as well and see what needs changes. No promises.
[Captivate Android Development] icnu01:
First off I wanna say thanks and keep up the good work. I really haven't had any issues.

My GPS is still a little funny, but must be a hardware issue. Too bad...

I like the idea of having 2 choices for the kernal. I think it gives you the ability to have the masses do testing on which one to proceed further with, until you find another you want to swap in. Everything else is just fluff anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
NO lock screen controls for the music player. the wifi crash is the first to my knowledge and I am glad you like my little additions.

Youmail still doesn't help as it, like Google Voice does not work in Canada.

I noticed someone else mention 'Voicemail Notifier' from the Android Market... Can anyone confirm if this does the trick for Canadian users?
[Captivate Android Development] pimpnmaxima:
So guys I installed 2.3 last night and placed setiron's 2.4.6 kernel in it (switched out the Zimage). My Question is, what would the default lagfix be that installed if any and how do I verify this?

I went into advanced Lagfix features in the recovery menu and it says rfs for the top features and everything else reads False. so I am thinking that no lagfix was applied.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
no lag fix is enabled by default. I left that decision up to the individual users. Go back into recovery and choose the one you like best.
[Captivate Android Development] ladiesgod:
Adam, thanks for your hardwork on the ROM it's great! This is the BEST and smoothest one I've used yet. I'm currently using 2.3 the 12/14/10 release version.

My only issues are:

1) The new music player is awesome, it's only missing functionality from the lock screen.

2) For some reason I try to view my picture gallery off of my 8mb external sd card it keeps crashing. Other areas seem to be buggy (freezing/shutoffs) too until I remove my card.

3) A personally like the froyo keyboard better.

4) My username/password does not work on my yahoo email accounts.

5) I've have this issue whenever I flash any froyo ROM but: My market downloads are EXTREMELY slow. I can download fine from the net, but from the MARKET almost unbearable.

Other than that I'm in love with this ROM and the newest wallpaper is the sh!t. Keep pushing them out bro, my phone depends on you!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Adam,

+1 Adam;

I've flashed ALOT of ROM's, ALOT of times. Each and every of the Axuras have been outstanding pieces of work.

I think people forget that we're ALL dealing with "beta" Froyo, it's not the final from Google for the Caps. I think people forget that and expect perfection. In MY experience, every single ROM has had some little glich. Nothing major, but if it is, I reflash, if it's still there, I'll say something, if it doesn't, I caulk it up to a funky install.

You have taken up a project with a great history of, maybe not the "fastest" (OC'd/Linpack)on the block, but its one of the smoothest, polished, feature rich ROM's out there. I personally, really like what has come our way from you. It's great to see what you've done, and I like where you're going with it

Edit: By the way, great work on 2.4.No issues at all. I really like the Set's kernel myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Well...poop... Here I was hoping had finally been done...:(

Just a little update from what I found not working properly with this Rom so-far...

not a damn thing

and this is saying a-lot because my Cappy has some real issues

Mac

PS...Since I am running the RC 2.3 CE...I have my stock voltages at (top down) 75-75-75-50-50-50...and the lag fix is all= Ext 4 and when I apply it for boot in the menu...it sticks...each and every time...I've rebooted 5 times just to make sure of this...and it works perfectly...and no...I haven't added any scripts in..Thanks for this..

Now...the good news...

Quadrant all=rfs comes in at 1250

Quadrant all=ext 4 comes in at 1898

Nenamark1 all=rfs is 51.3 fps

Nenamark1 all=ext4 comes in at 53.2

Linpak

All=rfs comes in at 5.3

All=ext4 comes in at 4.76

I just downloaded the new google maps and will try out how well the GPS is tracking with this set up...I had no issue with what I was running before and it tracked perfectly and never wondered...and always gave 2-5 meter accuracy...Still setting this one up...and it looks very nice so far...and this is just a personal preference but I defiantly prefer the stock Captivate music player over what is currently installed..and will change it out..

More later..but I'm very pleased with it so-far...

[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
You can actually restore bookmarks with TiBu. Unless the browser app gets replaced at some point, that should not be a problem. I've been doing it between ROM versions based on different base ROM and Kernel (several COG, Perception, and all Axura).

in general, some system data can be restored, as long as you know what you are doing and don't mind a re-flash. For me, the time to redo all the settings is longer than a reflash in case of problems restoring, so I selectively restore things (wifi locations, BT pairing, bookmarks, memos)
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Adam - as others have said, I love the work you have done. One of the main things that has set Axura apart from other ROMs in the past was how stable it was on every release. I know you test it a lot before releasing, but be extra careful with the GB base.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I will be very careful with the GB base. Don't expect anything to come of that for a while. Damn thing will only start the voodoo voices and then crash every single time. Needs a lot more work.
[Captivate Android Development] NOSintake:
Hmm, so 2.2 and 2.3 are running JK4. Is that correct? I'll have to do some playing around this weekend when I get a chance to see which modem works best for me. I guess my options are JK4, JK3, and JL3?

Which version of 1.4.3 would I get if I wanted to try it out? I see alot of iterations of 1.4.3 on Setiron's page.
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
I have a question about changing GPS parameters. I have read it here to do it in LBSTestMmode. Then I have also read it in here that if done in LBSTestMode, it doesnt save the setting in the proper file. Its just for testing. Could someone please explain or verify?

Since my phone really doesn't switch back and forth in my coverage area, it would be tough, nay, impossible for me to chime in on or test this theory. Mine fires up with an "H" and it stays there.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I don't think that is correct. AS most of you know I love tweaking the gps. I have tried running both spirent-ics.com and supl.google.com with corresponding ports and have definitely noticed defferences in google maps and navigation. Whoever posted that was looking at the xml but most likely did not know how to fully comprehend what they were reading. The xml sets the controls for the given application and its parameters, but it goes a bit deeper than that. Try it out. change your server/server port and try out both in maps/navigation outside, same location and around the same time and tell me what you get for results.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The H is the equivalent of 3g. The 850 band is enabled by default and is active in almost every 3g coverage area. You will notice that it will switch to "E" if you leave the 3g/H coverage area. There is no way to make it switch from H/3g/E. H is just a more powerful 3g band.

A letter from poolside...

Ok, Axuraphiles...

I flashed 2.1CE eons ago, after having spent two days waiting on a jig to fix my soft brick. I'm fairly happy with it, my biggest complaint is a spontaneous reboot around noon each day. Since 2.2 dropped the same day I got 2.1 working, I held off on it, now I'm pondering 2.3. I have two questions though based on everyone's responses since it dropped last night (and perhaps I should open another thread I can add polls to, but I'm also leery of haters poisoning the poll) to help me decide if I should pull the trigger on 2.3. They are:

1) Are any of you NOT seeing adam-esque GPS performance, i.e. trouble holding locks while moving, slow lock acquisition? I don't want to cause a flood thread with "works great" - so just tell me if it's NOT working great for you...

2) There have been a couple reports of powered-off charging not working. Is this universal? If it is happening to you, are you running the default Axura 2.3 kernel, or did you flash something else in?

Thanks, and for the sake of limiting thread noise please only reply if you are seeing the problems I've mentioned.

P.S. - I saw this video on YouTube earlier today and wondered if anyone in Axuraville used any of these apps for helping battery life? The one I was most curious about was SetCPU, is anyone using that and does it work with a "stock" (hehe) Axura kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
mine does too but in settings - about phone you will see the switch

More Battery...

Turned everything ON (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) and did not touch it for an hour (I did not enable WiFi sleep mode). Lost 3% battery. From 75% to 72%.

Since I unplugged after flashing last night, the usage stats look like this:

Display: 63% (am using Fancy Widget and Zeam Launcher in full screen mode)

Cell Standby: 21%

Phone Idle: 10%

WiFi: 4%

GPS Poll

Hey guys and Gals,

I put up a poll on the main page regarding GPS on 2.3. Please take a minute to input your answer. I want to get an overall consensus of the GPS performance each of you are seeing. The results are all kept anonymous.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Can you provide the procedure you used to verify this so others can as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I have only lost 2% in the past 2.5 hours. I have a normal wp, stock launcher and Fancy Widget on main page.:D

Edit: Wifi OFF

GPS ON

Automatic Screen brightness ON

Auto-Sync ON

Yes these animated walls will suck your battery dry but it's so festive!

I'll post results after flashing in a bit.. I had my phone off the charger for 1 hour.

During that hour:

Wifi off

BT off

GPS off

Streamed music over 3g while driving for 20 minutes. Battery went from 100% to 92%

Can not confirm this in 2.3 but read this:

(is there a change log?).

But I should be able to tell once I get to work.
[Captivate Android Development] mattbeau:
I suggested backing up your NV_data because this rom changes your product code, if you go back to stock and try to connect to kies your phone will say unregistered and you will need to repair it to download OTA updates. this may not apply to most people as alot of you will probably never go back to stock. but lets say for warranty reasons and if you actually want to go back to stock.

Early report on battery is a very fast drain.

Flashed at 100%

I hate to say this...and I am sure many will disagree since they love voodoo...but..anytime I have had voodoo on my phone,it has caused more problems than what it was worth.So...AFAIK...please always give a option of not having to remove it to flash a different kernel...cause if it is the only choice available,I for one will never use it again in any rom that includes it.Why...cause to get

my

phone back to stock and completely cleared of it..I wind up having to loose root and format any drive completely plus master clear 2 or more times...and this is flashing correctly and diabling it before going back to stock..and the whole shebang...Like I said before...My phone is one that has issues...heck..my drives are even reversed when I flash to stock with it..and the only time they are in the correct spot is with a custom rom installed...

Need Help Rom Manager wont flash

Everyone Ive tried and tried, looked and looked and now I must ask for help. I recently had axura 2.3 but wanted 2.4. I flashed back to stock eclair, master cleared, rooted and installed rom manager. Here is where I'm stuck. Rom Manager will not flash clockworkmod recovery...it does nothing..just sits there. Ive reinstalled re flashed but it always remains the same. I cant reboot into recovery until it flashed the files to the phone.

I always like starting from scratch everytime I put a rom on and Ive never had a problem..ideas?

Thanks so much for your help

I had the same problem. At the bottom of the second post is the file: update.zip. I copied that to the sdcard (overwrite existing from Odin/Master Clear) and was able to reboot to clockwork recovery and flash from sdcard.

I am not a big voodoo fan either. Had the reverse drive before and the solution was to connect with SD out, then add SD. Actually at some point I couldn't get both to show up because they were conflicting with server drive letters. Not related to Voodoo, just one more quirk on the cappy :)

I have been having that same problem... no idea what caused it... never happened with previous versions until i went to 2.3 Voodoo version then back to Stock using Odin One-Click. Had to use the .zip file from the 2nd post here and then was able to get into clockwork recovery (took a couple times "reinstalling packages" to get into the correct recovery).

Even with this new Axura 2.3 its the same as before. Almost 1 min until lock. Thats 55 seconds to much compared to a functional GPS in other phones. I dont know if it because i live in Sweden and the phone is from at&t, but this is the last time i buy a phone without knowing and testing it properly. Especially samsung phones.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have you changed your server to supl.google.com(no www.) and your server port to 7276, deleted GPS data and then tried it out? It should not matter where you are. It is an independent GPS chip that does not depend on cellular data.
