[*] 1 Install Instructions

Place Phoenix_ROM_xx.zip On SDCARD

Open up ROM Manager and select Flash ROM from SdCARD

Alternitavitly You can flash right in Clockwork Mod

Just Selected Install ROM from SDCARD

then Choose ROM

then navigate to the Rom, and click Yes

[*] TiBu

Navigate to Location of ROM, Select Backup Current ROM (for those Just in case moments)

for TiBu I dont recommend backing up system data... follows these steps to insure just your APPS and their Data get restored (I've done this over 100 Times..no major issues)

1) Open TiBu

2) click menu button

3) click batch

4) Select Backup User Apps

5) Make Sure all are selected and APP+Data is selected

6) Run Batch Operation

wait till complete

Flash Rom

To restore...

1) Open TiBu

2) Click Menu

3) Click Batch

4) Select Restore Missing Apps (you can restore all apps but i prefer to just restore missing ones)

5) select all

6) Make sure app and data are selected

7) Run batch Operation

8) Profit

IF for some reason your apps restore without all their data, just go into tibu menu, preferences, app processing mode, and change it to Indirect (second Option)

Installing v2.5 from v2.2

Noticed that I don't hear the voodoo voice ?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
If you didnt restore to stock and master clear you wont hear them bc the system knows it is already installed.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Beautiful!! Thanks! This is the kind of reply I wanted.

One problem though: After selecting "Backup user apps", the next screen which presents all those apps, now where is there a checkbox or the like for specifying "...and APP+Data...". No way to say "data as well". So am I mising something, or is it implied that the backing up of the user app inherently includes app data that is associated to it. See what I mean?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Check this out!

It is an older version, but this is awesome!! Go Phoenix!
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
Hopefully 3. 0 has a better battery life, installed 2. 5 yesterday. I only had unpluged for 5 hours today and battery was @ 28%. No good. Came from the last axura and was getting atleast a full day.

Phoenix
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Cool, I thought that but wasn't sure.

It sure is a lot easier than having to go all the way back stock !
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
TiBu: When would I ever run "Clean up the Dalvik cache"?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I let 3.0 run its course on my battery and it lasted about 27 hours with modest use. I used it for GPS testing for you guys, xda app like a mad man, browser, tons of texts and a decent amount of phone calls. I am very impressed with it thus far and cant wait to get it to all of you.
[Captivate Android Development] Rooster*:
Adam, can I get on your test list too?
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
sounds awesome.... other than battery i am in love with phoenix. only other issue is i cannot use handcent sms, every time i install i cannot send sms or mms with either stock messaging or handcent. no biggy i just use stock mms.

keep up the good work :)
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
we cant wait either adam...im looking forward to more awesomeness. and i know im not alone in that regard
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Sounds nice....can't wait to try it out...Maybe a release later today?
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
a few post back he said 2-3 days...but you never know they might get this pushed out sooner than that...fingers crossed
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have I ever made you guys wait for the actual day I am supposed to release?;) Hey guys, we made it on 2 websites. Android forums and addictivetips.com both gave us great reviews.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Spoken like a true junkie...lol

2.5 was released just 2-3 days ago and you guys are already craving more.

Oh who am I kidding, I want it too.;)
[Captivate Android Development] AreikUSA:
WOW I cant wait that sounds AMAZING, im luck to get 10hrs outta mine.
[Captivate Android Development] Rooster*:
What do you mean "craving more", I got the shakes from withdrawals! I NEED TO FLASH!! :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
My Apologies you only need that part when restoring...

for that

Right under the Select All button there are 3 circles, app+data, app Only, Data only Make sure the App_data is selected

You must be a crazy heavy user, or your battery isnt calibrated, my 2.5 battery life is great!!

To calibrate battery, let your battery die compeltely, then charge the phone while off fully. Then boot into recovery, and go into CWM Advanced, selected Wipe Battery Stats
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
i normally am a heave user but not in the 5 hours that dropped me to 28% today. i will have to try calibrate again
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
yea i gotta say adam you put this work of yours out quick with amazing results...i had never tried one of your roms but i must say now that i have im a loyal to your roms...great battery life....great support for a noob like me...speedy...responsive...and pretty lol....cant wait till 3.0 keep it coming
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Wow Adam. This v2.5 is actually even better !

But how do I put my nexus shutdown back on ?

I tried putting it in the system/media/video section

But there isn't one ?

So I put in a Video folder then did it like I did on the last v2.2

Still doesn't work ?

Any ideas why I can't get the shutdown screen anymore ?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
hey guys sorry i have been MIA but i managed to brick my captivate yesterday and spent all day trying to fix it, I am on my way to get the parts for a jig to hope that will help it. Not sure what happened i think it was due to the bin file. I will have the dialers up by the end of the day. I promise
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Damn that sucks Zel. Hope you get it back up and running.

Just out of curiosity what build was your phone?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
1009 is the build number
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Agreed !!!! EPIC !
[Captivate Android Development] erikbacon:
Battery Issue: How did you flash? When I first installed this ROM I used CWM and used TIBU with system data :(. Yesterday I reflashed to stock>Phoenix 2.5>TIBU (missing apps+data) and my battery is A LOT better. I also dropped my "Weather Channel" widget and stopped my "Twitter" auto sync, sure dropping those two items helped, but not that much

Handcent: I am currently running Handcent with no problems, try reinstalling it or maybe try "Go SMS", after hearing about the bug Google is having with the stock messaging app I don't think I'll ever use that (sending SMS to wrong contacts=not good)
[Captivate Android Development] mykwalkr:
and Phoenix is Young!

I'm sure this is only the beginning...w/ a chef like you and the team you've enlisted. Thanks again....everything is running great on 2.5r and looks great w/ Cosmic76 theme loaded.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
My only problem is I don't know jack about deving. Was thinking about just taking an old rom and redo the kernal logo and boot screen and shutdown and turn it into llamapalooza!
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
i flashed stock than used cwm and manually installed my apps. no tibu at all.
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:
Does anybody else have an issue that the screen doesn't turn on when they receive a new text message? I did a search but couldn't find anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You have to take the video folder and put it in system/media. I deleted the video folder getting ready for a shut down animation which now have.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
TESTERS

Check your emails!! Everyone else, I do not need any more testers. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
beta 3.0?

any chance i can get on this beta list too? :D

EDIT: sorry adam - missed your previous post...eagerly awaiting 3.0...
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
Weird, mine didn't seem to come through. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I didnt get a Email yet :-) Been working on junk though. So been busy
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Plus lpsi2000 noticed install script errors. Workin on some of them now.
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
I did not get the e-mail either
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
Playing with your junk does not count as being "busy".
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Lmao. Sure it does lol
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What are these script errors you are talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Just a quick thanks for the awesome work! I loaded my first custom ROM last week (Cognition 2.3b8) which worked well. However, Phoenix 2.5 is MUCH better. I look forward to any updates.

I loaded the DarkFire theme (very cool). If anyone could make a flaming phoenix live wallpaper that would be even better. Also, it would be nice if the system menu icons were in color like froyo stock instead of going back to black and white.

However, those are nitpicks - the GPS is GREAT, it's fast, wifi access (the newer modem?) is much faster - and it seems very stable.

Thanks again,

Rich
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Update

So far this is what's in store:

New default wall paper-Xtreme

New shutdown animation-NunHugger

Updated wifi modules(jpa)

GPS cocktail

New dialer(zel and reefer)

Additional Framework tweaks to really bring the look together

More stuff I can tthink of right now.

This focuses on battery for the time being.

Working on Home haptic, just super busy.
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
Looks like a great addition to an already awesome rom!
[Captivate Android Development] gravewormx:
Hi, Adam.

just wanted to thank you again for this awesome ROM, that honestly made me fall in love with my Captivate haha

anyhow, I was gonna ask you if you think it's possible to implement the Gingerbread lock screen animation? (the one that looks like an old tv set). reason why i'm asking is cuz we can't just grab some files and copied them onto the device. (at least that's what i heard, due to it being related to framework stuff).
[Captivate Android Development] RealtorRick:
New to the forums here. Just have to say that this Rom looks great. Just flashed it today. One problem though, When I receive, or make a call, I can hear the other person, but they cannot hear me. I looked around to see if anyone else has had this issue, but didn't find any. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rick
[Captivate Android Development] gravewormx:
I haven't heard or read anything about this problem and check this thread regularly.

So i'm guessing it's one of those rare problems. Did you flash it from stock?
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenxda:
Sounds like a bad flash. You may need to re-flash the the modem and see if that helps?

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Did you restore any system data? if so reflash and restore apps & data only not system data.
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
We were talking about the install scripts.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Can someone tell me the difference between /sdcard and /sdcard/sd/

I thought /sdcard/sd was a pointer to the external auxiallary SD card that one has installed?

I just tried setting TiBu backup folder to /sdcard/sd/TitaniumBackup, and ran an backup, and it instead created a /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder (hence ignoring the /sd/ designation)

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What is wrong with them?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
It needs to be external_sd/titaniumbackup
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenxda:
it should be "external_sd/"
[Captivate Android Development] supermoore1025:
Does anyone have an updated link to download this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenxda:
http://www.esullivan.us/phoenix-hq/Phoenix_Rising_2.5_revised.zip
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
In Eclair the external sd card is mounted under the mount point "sd", however in Froyo the same card mount point has become "external_sd".
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
In some instance they are pointing to things that do not exist and in I can't figure out what you are trying to do a few lines. It seems as the script have not been changed since 11/23/2010. The script for 1.5 reloaded was better structure and at least better in my opinion and it was also last modified on 12/19/2010.
[Captivate Android Development] erikbacon:
I've searched and searched, but I can't find an old post about not being able to run "Need for Speed Shift". I am having the same problem.

I originally downloaded the game when I was on 2.1, that .apk needs to dl game info when you first open it, but after it completes the dl, it acts as if it never downloaded to begin with. I have re-installed the game, but to no avail.

Then I found the game online, installed it, but when I open it, it fc's
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What did you you have in mind for the script?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I'm running it with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Actually that is what I thought I did.

But it always just says "Power Off....Shutting Down"

I realize you are doing what v3.0 ?

But I really don't want to reload a new system every few days.

Except for not having the shutdown screen now. This v2.5 has got to be the perfect rom..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am glad you like it so much. 3.0 also incorporates wifi and gps fixes among other things. So, I don't know how your battery is but I can just about guarantee it will get better.
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
Not knowing the technical details on what was changed, it is difficult to see what needs to be removed except for the stuff that I have pointed out. I can send you my modified script but you will need to check it out. There some things in your current script I don't understand so I just basically left them in there. I know smokestack76 fixed some things which you might want to include.

edit: I also discover the script may not be executing properly or failing in certain areas because you are copying packages from SDCARD which does not exist
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Augh..

So will v3.0 be reflashable like I did the v2.5 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yeah. It has been a while since I have looked at it. I just did and will be modifying it accordingly
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
Also why was it changed from v 1.5. It seems as you went to even older script from the one you use in 1.5

How did you brick it ?

[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
Took my cappy in to ATT today and had the best service techs. They changed out my phone for it not having working GPS. No problems at all with getting a new one. The best part was we talked ROMs and got them to to change over to Phoenix.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Shutdown Animations

Serious question... How often do you normally shutdown your phone? I've seen several conversations here and on other forums where there is a concern over the shutdown animation. Honestly, I don't think I've ever shutdown my phone other than to put a new ROM on. So it kind of made me curious as to why others are interested in it... are you shutting down on a regular basis? Are you doing it just to see the animation? :)
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I dub thee Official Phoenix Ambassador to AT&T. Not that I have any power to do so...and not that being the ambassador gives you any power. Just might give you a nifty little somethin' or other to put in your sig!

I dub thee. I dub thee. I dub thee.

There you go!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is just freaking amazing!! Have you seen the sites that posted reviews and comments about Phoenix? They had nothing bad to say.
[Captivate Android Development] berean:
Warning on Odin

Thank you everyone for your hard work on these excellent ROMs. You are doing a great job. I also appreciate the detailed instructions at the beginning to help noobs successfully flash a ROM.

There is something that I think could bear some more explanation in the part I quoted above. I think it is very important to explain to people that if they have a 1008-1010 edition of the Captivate that they should never use Odin One Click to flash to stock, it will likely brick their phone. I just spent about five hours on and off the phone helping a friend (to whom I had recommended the Captivate and encouraged to flash Phoenix) to unbrick his phone after using Odin.

Fortunately, we were finally able to get it flashed to Phoenix 2.5, but it was quite a chore. Right after he flashed to Stock using Odin, his buttons would not work to get into recovery or download mode. We tried many variations of button presses and cable inserts with no success. Amazingly his phone would boot into 2.1 even though Odin said there was an error restoring the ROM. This allowed us to enable sideloading and root the phone. Then we were able to use ROM Manager to boot into recovery.

Then we tried flashing from stock to Ultimate with terrible results. It would not load fully, and gave a never ending list of forcecloses so that the phone could not be used at all. Luckily a long press of the power button got us into recovery where we were able to flash Phoenix 2.5. A phone that cannot use the buttons to enter download or recovery mode is hard to work with. (I would really like to know how to get this feature back, it seems to be permanently gone.)

I just think it would be good to warn people to make sure they check if their phone is a 1008-1010 model before proceeding to flash with Odin. They may be very sorry.

Thank you again for your hard work and for considering this matter.​
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I almost never shut mine down. I do it to flash stuff and to test animations I make. Animations are not needed...just something fun to have.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yeah, it is just something cool your friends most likely do not have. Last night I added an awesome shutdown .ogg but removed it as I am sure people may or may not like it. It went like this " Was it everything you expected it to be?" and then the TV animation closed out. It did this in a sexy female voice
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Adam

Figured it out !

The animation has to be in a folder named Shutdown

Then you put the Shutdown animation into a folder named video..

It works great now.

So I may hold off in the latest update for a while.

Thanks for the help...

I like the shutdown screen . Just to make other people jealous of what these phones can do..

One is my wife, she really wants one now !
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Well, they can make them standalone vids and play them all day whenever they want. :)

Guess it's a personal preference... me, I want things to just start and stop as fast as possible... don't care if it's animated, a static pic, or just text... especially that, like you, I rarely shutdown (which I believe is a compliment to the work done on Phoenix).
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
OK, I finally got to test the battery life on a settled, fully charged 2.5 (wifi jpa fix installed). Worked great - 12 hrs with sketchy EDGE and inconsistent wifi (I never turn it off). Also several phone calls and 35min navigation. down to 25%. That is as good as I ever get with my battery. Only problem is I got a random shutdown after that. Went into famous Dave and it was fine, 30 minutes later on the way out the phone was dead. After battery pull it restarted and battery was still at 16%, so I am not quite sure what happend there.
[Captivate Android Development] hybernator:
I so want that, all my friends have iphones and love my phone but they are so brainwashed by apple that they wont admit out loud that my cappy kicks their apple a§§ that would just add one more thing to make em jealous
[Captivate Android Development] Gr8Danes:
Love the look and feel of this ROM! Great job!

Quick question I hope someone could easily answer for me:

When using CWM to backup my current ROM, does the lagfix need to be disabled? or can it be enabled in order to do the backup?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You will so have that when I release 3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
WHICH IS WHEN!?!?! i met get my phone replaced tomorrow, but volume buttons are jammed in... i flash with cwm wayyyyyyyy tooo much:)

[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
And so it be done. :cool:

One more thing. The ATT guys said that Samsung has released 2.2 to ATT and that ATT should be pushing it out by the end of the month. And here is the part when the three of us started to laugh.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You know it!!;)
[Captivate Android Development] FredWorrell:
I don't know how everyone else's battery has been holding out, but I've found that if I use Tasker to turn off the wifi when the screen is off and back on after unlock, I'm getting a day and a half on 70% battery. Amazing that I still have 30% left, and been using the hell out of it.
