There really shouldn't be any differences between the 1900/850 bands as they are just frequency bands. The 850 band has better signal propagation through objects which tends to have better signal integrity, which leads to potentially faster connections, etc. But this is dependent on a lot of factors, most of which are unique to the specific cell and area you are in.

In most cases though, you will get better speeds on the 850MHz band. :p

love the ROM can't wait to try 3.5

Quick question: will 3.5 be using FireBird 2.0 kernel? I think DG's got it out for testing.

PS: Adam you're an inspiration :)

So what if I was to flash jg8 modem on phoenix 3.0 and then flash 3.5 ;D?
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Anyone have a quick link to the JG8 modem? thanks

DISREGARD: Question answered 6-7 posts prior to this.

DISREGARD: Question answered 6-7 posts prior to this.

Thanks Adam!

So is this accurate:

1900 and 850 are baud rates that may be available to you based on your location. The 850 baud rate is known to be faster in speed. Significantly? or marginally? Either case, it may be desireable to use 850 if it ias available.

Phoenix 3.0/3.5 is using the JPP modem, which means the 850 baud selection would be available to you... but people are having problems selecting it. Hence the workaround below (flash JP8, then JPP). If this is accurate, its interesting why the included-JPP in the 3.0/3.5 rom is not sufficient, that instead you have to do a "reinstall of it" (via a JP8 flash)

For someone (myself) who has not yet flashed anything (3.5 will be my first), do you see me also having to go through this workaround? Or does this workaround scenario only apply to those who have previsouly flashed (1.5, 2.0, 3.0)?

thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
3.0 uses TLJL3 not JPP. I couldnt wait last night and went back to 3.0, eclair is just horrible now compared to Phoenix. I guess Im ready for 3.5 when Adam releases it.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
previous post

from another earlier post. I am going to try reflashing Jg8 in phoneix then reflashing jpp over it and see if it takes but looks like for many the only way it works is doing this in stock prior to custom rom flash.
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
yeap I already went back to stock as well ...rerooted .....waiting for 3.5 now ....gosh I hate this thing stock ....makes me want to throw it lol
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
3.5 isn't suppose to be till tomorrow :O!
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
Weird problem that started last night...

In the notification bar I am getting the two arrows in a circle implying something is syncing. It stayed on all night and my battery was down from 100 to 79 with WIFI being almost all of it. I have gone into settings and turned off all syncing including all accounts, background syncing, letting apps sync, etc. and rebooted phone and it comes back within 2 minutes of phone being on. Any ideas of what it could be? I am still trying to get my battery to work well since 2.0 I have been having problems with quicker drain then I want.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] t-readyroc:
So (prolly stupid question) this means that we'll be able to flash 3.5 straight on top of 3.0 w/o going through the ODIN > stock > root > update process all over again?
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
I know just anxious lol

[Captivate Android Development] ccdoggy:
Thoughts? should be out very soon.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I had noticed it worked on some sites but not others... Didn't give it much thought. Thought it was an issue with the sites themselves. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Thoughts on what?
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanapa:
First of all, I think your doing a great job Adam on Phoenix. I am haveing a problem though that I hope can be fixed. Since you moved to the 2.2.1, I have been losing service every time it gets finished charging. Every morning I have to reboot a few times in a 2 hour period to get it to stabilize. I know this is a known issue with the older batches (mine is 1007) but I was hoping to find a fix or at least a workaround because I really love Phoenix and have only been using your roms since Axura 2.3.
[Captivate Android Development] keller.jeff:
Adam, It's your ROM, do as you will with it. If someone wants to be 850, as I do, then we'll just have to take the extra steps to get there. As long as there is a the step by step directions like there always has been there shouldn't be too many complaints.

People have to remember you're just one person, with a few helpers, and do everything all at once, even though you seem to be trying to and doing a hell of a job at it!

On a side note: Voodoo Sound ready on 3.5? or is the firebird kernel still not support it?
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
i to washaving huge battery issues but havetracked it down to wifi. it seemstha wifi scanning is the culprate. if i leave home i simply disable wifi and wala good battery. it seems that when no wifi connection is available it scans every 2 secconds non stop. it must be an 2.2.1 bug as it was never present in 2.2. so everyone having huge battery drain simply disable wifi when not in use...
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
If you're smart enought to flash a ROM, you can flash a modem ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Seems like it would make more sense to release a modem that works for EVERYONE then let the few people who want to go through the trouble of getting jpp do the extra work instead of vice versa...some people that flash roms have enough trouble doing that why make it more complicated for them?
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
just download the modem you want and flash it via CWM. It's and extra step but literally takes very little time. The device builds themselves especially in relation to GPS seem to be very partial to different modems. JK4 and TLJL3 have always worked best with my 1007 build so i will likely end up flashing them but plan to at least play with jpp a bit at least to see effect on gps and battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Just let adam decide. He knows best. Yq sure I.don't like the.fact that the kernal isn't oc, but I inatalled a different kernal. If you want some goofy modem, go build your own rom and don't complain. He puts way too much time into this for almost nithing.
[Captivate Android Development] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
On 3.0 and I'm suffering from the same. KILLING my battery! I just leave WiFi off now.
[Captivate Android Development] x4gvnferdy:
Haptic Response on Homekey = I'm in Love :)

Thanks, Was using 2.0 phoenix or 2.5, downloading 3.0 now! Since these are the same rom, can these be installed no-wipe? Or would it be best to wipe per upgrade? Guess it doesn't matter with titanium backup :)
[Captivate Android Development] gpagador:
I totally agree with this...I'm using the SpeedMod kernel with the JK4 modem and it's absolutely perfect right now...great connectivity and good GPS and the battery is fantastic...I charged it at night disconnected then woke up 7 hrs later with only 2% loss in battery. Just wanted to share my experiences and I love the ROM btw great job adam.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I will be putting jk4 as the default modem. I have no problem flashing jpp for my own use. I do this for you guys so I will make it that much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
"If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball."

I had too LOL

That's coo I'm going to try the jpp trick and see if i can get 850 working on att would it be possible to post the directions someone put together a few threads ago and have them put on the main page along with any other gps instructions we might need?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Good morning one and all! Quick question...would anyone have the stock cappy sw available as a zip? kinda how we flash our phoenix just with the stock firmware, I want to flash on the go and the other thread that was on the forums is seriously lacking in the instructional department.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
i'm not sure why but after updating to 3.0 i am getting terrible battery drain. 1.0 was fine. 2.5 was bad, the jpa wifi update made it a bit better. In 3.0 i can see 8% drop in 1.5 hrs with wifi on, sync and everything else turned off and phone not used.

Hopefully 3.5 fixes this. I'm not sure why I am experiencing this either, seems like I'm the only one.

Wow! This ROM is FAST!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
haha I like it
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
that was the point thanks for noticing;)
[Captivate Android Development] 10ee:
I decided to donate, not just because the ROM is great, but also because Adam, you conduct yourself with the utmost professionalism and respect.

Keep up the great work. The only two changes I made was 1) Added the haptic feedback for home key on the first post, and 2) Used the older swype as the theming of the new one gets in the way for word selection.

Otherwise this ROM is as close to perfect for my uses as can be. GPS is pretty quick, and bugs seem to be really hard to find.

What's great is that it is very quick with or without VooDoo. So far I've tried Cognition, cooked up with Doc's ROM kitchen, and used stock Rogers (yuck) and I've come back and Phoenix has risen from the ashes each time.

Giggidy!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Also, home haptic and the themed swype are both fixed in 3.5. Also, the swype is a new, more crisp color I think you all will enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Suggestion for 3.5

Adam,

In 3.5 I would like a rainbow colored dialer, live wallpaper of a curling match in progress, a modem that screens my calls, a themed market app that looks like a Greek agora, a talking battery meter that warns me in a seductive tone that my battery is below 20%, new widgets for all my games, and finally, automatic password decryption for WiFi so I can tap into my neighbor's network.

Thanks!

(in other words, do what you do and do very well and don't pay any attention to the me firsts and the gimme gimmies) :D

[Captivate Android Development] ccdoggy:
The two posts I had quoted were about the impending release of FireBird v 2.0. DG released v 2.0 R3 to his testers an hour ago so i would expect it very soon. info on it is vague but the main thing i am looking forward to is the implementation of voodoo sound.

Thoughts on if it might make it in on the 3.5 release?

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am actually looking into the speed mod kernel. I have been using it for a couple of days and really like it.
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
For me jpp has been great. I don't connect to the 850 band even when I try to force it on. I have had no issues with the 1900 band with att. Battery life has been equally as impressive in my opinion too. Gps has been not too great as jpp seemed to be behind in tracking a bit. It held a decent connection but agree the other modems give my phone a bit better gps.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I am also using speedmod and the sound is amazing as well as general performance. I don't see too much difference in battey life over firebird though.

Anyways, thanks for the rom Adam and team. I'm loving it.
[Captivate Android Development] blongs:
Darn, one of the things I was looking forward to the most was the JPP modem with 850 enabled. I can not get JPP to enable 850 on my phone. It seems JK4 automatically has 850 enable and thus easier to flash if you don't like JPP. Please Adam reconsider keeping JPP as default modem. And keep up the great work, I'm sure I will be flashing 3.5 no matter what modem you decide on.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes I too have been using the SpeedMod kernel with good results.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
you think you might include this in 3.5?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Def a good possibility..

[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
nice i think i might go ahead and flash it on 3.0 and test it out i didn't know it had a cwm version i need to do my home haptic fix too i'm trying to see how much battery life i get out of it today though
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
I to have been using that as my kernel of choice and now with the voodoo sound in it there is no other choice. The sound boost alone is worth running this kernel but i went with the 355mb of ram on boot instead of the 720hd recording as i never do that.

I am rocking that kernel with Phoenix 3.5 and so far no bugs or crashes or anything weird to speak of :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Me first and the gimmee gimmees have some cool songs.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is good news. I haven't experienced any problems so far either. I think we found a new kernel!
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
What GPS app are you using? I thought the same thing as you while I was using Google Nav. I tried Copilot Live and my GPS is spot on. Tracks really well.

Are you looking at using speedmod kernel for Phoenix 3.5 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, the speedmod kernel is in 3.5. I literally just made the switch.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I'm in the process of putting this on 3.5 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Speedmod kernal

In reading the speed mod kernal page, I came across this:

WARNING: If you use a custom boot animation, it will break the playlogos1 boot script hack. Apps and lagfixes which depend on it, for example OCLF, will stop working.

I take it that is not an issue in Phoenix 3.5?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
If anyone has gotten the speedmod kernel with the new voodoo sound in it you must download the app from the market to adjust the sound. Search for VooDoo App and you will find it. The icon is a little red android guy. Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
It was not an issue in 3.0 and so far not in 3.5 either.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Adam,

What i anything can I do in ADB to get a hint on why my phone keeps shutting down? Has done this on DG FB, and speedmod K12L.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
So, I have zero experience with speedmod kernel. What does it do to the sound - and why do you need the Voodoo app from the market?

Just looking to get edumacated.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Thanks! I'm eager to compare the difference!
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
It has voodoo sound that directly interfaces with the cappys sound hardware through the kernel and the VooDoo App is used to adjust the default sound level.

Here is the latest changelog for the newest version.

Version: K12L (13-Jan-2011)

K12 works with official XXJPY Android 2.2.1 firmware.

K12 is also compatible with older Android 2.2 firmwares.

- Voodoo Sound v1: FM radio bass fix, controllable headphone output via Voodoo app

- Improved FM radio sound: removed Dynamic Range Compression

- Rear speaker volume increased +1 for media

- Light sensor polling interval changed to 2s instead of 0.5s

(saves battery, more stable brightness levels)

- Light sensor sensitivity adjusted so that the screen doesn't turn bright so easily

(saves battery and reduces screen burn)

- Adjustments to IO scheduler Tweak (super smooth now!)

- Changed battery level polling interval to 60 seconds, from 5 seconds
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Here's a link to hardcore's Blog:

http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-is-speedmod-kernel.html

But in short, it adjusts bass and output volumes as well as makes the audio more clear.

The kernel does a lot more with text clarity and speed as well. I'm testing now.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Nope. All is good.:D
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
The kernel also comes in a few different flavors for the various tastes of XDA users.

Be aware that the 500HZ does consume the battery a little bit faster than 250HZ.

ClockWorkMod versions:

SpeedMod K12L with HZ=256 CWM

SpeedMod K12L with HZ=500 CWM

SpeedMod K12L with HZ=500 CWM BIGMEM (355MB RAM, no 720P video recording)

Alternative color versions:

SpeedMod K12L with HZ=500 CWM Warm (More Yellow)

SpeedMod K12L with HZ=500 CWM Cold (More Blue)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
3.5 will be using the 256 version for the batteries sake. The other ones can be flashed at the users preference.

**indeed rebooting my phone restores my sim contacts, etc
[Captivate Android Development] ardyer:
Another noob with another noob question :) I've read that many of the i9000 based roms have a problem with the mic that makes the voice of the user sound choppy to the person on the other end (See the video review of Perception 10 for a better explanation). Does Phoenix have this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
Thanks! I figured I'd post it in case anyone else had the same question. I could have asked there or used trial and error since all you have to do is reflash if you pick the wrong one.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Couple questions:

Is there a good instruction set on flashing a kernel?

Would you flash speedmod before or after the upcoming Phoenix 3.5? (note: my phone is unflashed, stock)

I see you mention the sound quality is better. Is there visual UI differences as well?

Can one bounce back and forth flashing a kernel? or does it require FTS and MC?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
That will depend on which modem you use.

Edit....Sorry I quoted the wrong post. This was in reference to call quality question.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Whats the noticable difference between the 250 vs. 500? More processes resident in memory, hence faster processing? If true, visually one would notice what? faster paging? faster ??

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Flashing a kernel is the same as flashing a ROM. Speed mod is included in the upcoming phoenix. UI colors are sharper with speedmod kernel. You can bounce around kernels if you wish, just disable lag fix before doing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
The kernel is like the engine of your phone, it isn't going to change the way it looks, just performs (for the most part). The ROM is where the GUI is.

You need to flash your ROM before the kernel you want, or your ROM will overwrite your kernel with its own.

You are able to flash around kernels back and forth.

Edit: Each kernel thread should have its own instructions, for the most part, they are the same for flashing, but configuring is different per kernel.

Added info To FAQ on JPP modem Flashing. Been thinking about the clean up and I really hate to remove post counts (for those that care lol) and thanks so I have a better Idea I think. From now on with each release I will link the first post for the new release in the FAQ so people can skip the info on older releases but not lose thanks and stuff, I used this method back in my Kaiser days for a few FAQs I did and I think it worked well. What say you?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:

[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Animations and Lockscreen chooser? Hmmmm I wish I could remember where they were? I think the lock screen chooser was in like android services xml or something? And for the animations i think it was somewhere in the framework. Surprisingly enough gingerbread is built a lot differently than 2.2. Which is kinda annoying haha. But yeah, those may not be right haha. :D

Phoenix Flash Failed

Well my first attempt at flashing seems to be a total failure - tried multiple times, still no-go. When I do the 3-button press to go into recovery mode, the blue text appears (after the yellow text), I select reinstall packages (Phoenix Rom zip and cw update zip previously copied to int.SD root, F:), and then I get error message in red, saying failed to verify whole-file signature, etc., and fails. SD card and sim are removed, Froyo 2.2, and already rooted.

What am I missing? Anyone had this difficulty flashing before? Thanks for any clue you can provide...nyproud
