kizz wasnt being mean. He just wants you to understand that we have built a completely different ROM than what comes from pure stock. There is so much more you can do with Phoenix than stock which is most likely why you are using it and we appreciate that. Keep in mind that this is not stock, that is all we are saying.
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
on your computer, use 7 zip to open a flashable zip file of a rom that has the music player (or any app your after) in it. find system>app> music.apk. Drag that file to your desk top. From there drop it on your sd card. Use root explorer to move the file to /system/app. Reboot. If it won't let you move it, click the grey button that says mount r/o when you are in the app folder to change from read only to read/ write (r/w) then paste it in. good fun.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Yeah I'm not making fun of you man. The funny thing might have been uncalled for and I'm sorry for that, didn't mean nothing bad. Believe me, I'm still a complete noob at this stuff and help where I can. Most know me here and know I'm terrible with my grammer and sometimes comes off not sounding the way ment it to sound . Its always good to look for things and try to figure them out, that's how I have learned the little I know.

Hope you don't hold adam or phoenix accountable for my poor people skills ;)

Problems with Glitterballs kernel

The Glitterballs kernel is really lighting fast, but somehow isn't stable. It hung a few times for me on 4.1 and I moved to speedmod 500. It isn't as fast as Gb kernel, but is stable :confused:

anybody have problems flashing back to stock after using 3.5? i've been reading around about 2.2.1 having jacked up download mode and won't work okay with odin when trying to flash back to 2.1? anyone encountered this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
You can use Xan's Voltage Control App to limit CPU to 1 gHz in glitterballs. Then you can compare apples to apples instead of comparing and OC kernel to a non OC kernel.

Some Captivates can't take the OC/UV.

Have you enabled all the tweaks from Speedmod kernel? and changed filesystem to ext4? That could speed up your experience on Speedmod.

I'm really liking 3.0, it feels oem and can't imagine it any better... That said, how is 4.1 different? Is it worth redoing all my stuff?
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
My 3 button doesn't work with 2.2.1 roms, so I just use advanced power menu directly to download mode and the one-flash Odin reads it fine.

I haven't tried with regular 3.1 Odin yet though, someone else would have to answer that one for you.

Used cognition and this rom and mine works perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] seclm193:

First GPS test on 4.1

Not sure why, but I am having NO luck with GPS right now. On my 15 min drive to work, it took 3 min to get 2-3 birds, at about 7 min in, I had 5-7 with a lock of only 3-4.

I'm at work all day today, so I'll delete GPS data and try again on my way home.

PS running stock 4.1 kernel and modem
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Ok, Yo :D, I flashed Phoenix 4.1 over 3.5 yesterday after fixing my write-protected SD problem, and I gotta say Adam (and crew) have created another masterpiece...I really like the orange on black contrast - but would have liked colored apps page icons but no biggie. Everything works super-fast...except GPS (ugh!). I'm back to getting looong "Searching for GPS" message under Navigation screen, and no satellite indicators (over H icon). Location accuracy, when it does lock on, is like 50 - 100 feet off while standing still.

So I guess I will hunt for a better modem...(?) Also, can some explain to me how/where you find the number of satellites you're locked-on to?

Also, kizz, if you're on...do all the themes on the Phoenix website work with 4.1?

Oh, and lastly...Is it possible to get rid of the Phoenix boot animation to get to the home screen quicker...I like it, but I'm a minimalist, and want my home screen NOW! Love the shut-down screen, though, and voodoo-like audio ;)

Gratefully, as always...Chuck
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is very odd. I have tested and retested my GPS and I couldn't be happier. I have gone on 2 45 min. drives and it will not lose me. It also has very limited lag on turns and redirects very quickly. That is one aspect I hate about these devices. No device acts as another one.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
There are a couple different tools for the GPS, I am kind of liking GPS Essentials right now
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Not sure how many people use Picasa...But if you add this .apk to System/App you will have the option for it in the gallery under share.

Yet another apk I removed to save space. Oops
[Captivate Android Development] cy-rock:
I have to say that i cheated and went to Cognition ...but came back to Phoenix :D

I really like how the rome is built ...however...the GPS takes a lil while to get is lock ...i d say 4-5 minutes

Then i get around 30 feet accuracy !!!

ANybody else tried out the gps ?

thx

I dont use it. I was just asked to figure out why picasa was not there :D

Flashing a theme to Phoenix

So I'm pretty sure I want to post this here and not General Q&A as it's specific to Phoenix.

I have 4.1 flashed and it works great, however I would like to install a different theme.

1) I want to use VA Green by vukandric. Flashing was a major step for me so now here I am again ready to surge forward...... Nuts, don't have a clue! My thoughts, copy theme (VA GREEN NSC 9) to internal (as is or renamed?). From here what do I do?

2) I don't want shut down to change, I'm hoping the theme won't do this. SHUT DOWN IS AWESOME!

3.0 music player apk wont work in 4.1, for me

I have tried this and it didnt work for me

I have no idea what I am/am not doing

I unzipped the 3.0 CWM zip and copied the MusicPlayer.apk to /system/app

but it doesnt show up in Apps, and if I try to run it from the file manager it opens the 4.1 music app (not miui, the other one)

I tried with Supermanager, I tried from CLI

I moved the Music.apk from /system/app to /mnt/sdcard and put MusicPlayer.apk(from 3.0) in /system/app

I tried using SuperManager's built in root function to access /system (rw)

I tried SGSTools scripts to mount /system (rw)

nothing has made a difference

I could see that when I copied the 3.0 apk to app/ it did not have (sys) in it's SuperMgr description, and the name has "(No Install)" appended to it (see pic)

I even tried renaming the file to Music.apk so it would match the 4.1 file, which is why the attached pic shows that name,

the only music app I have listed now is MiUi even though the 3.0 apk is in the app/ folder

What other info can I provide to help you help me?

edit...

After moving the 4.1 Music.apk from app/ I no longer have the option to run the 3.0 apk, only install and when I try that I get a progress bar followed by a happy green check mark that says "Application Not Installed."

Solved!

I recopied the file from the 3.0 zip to my sd card and then used Super Manager to put it in app/ and it worked fine

mustve borked the copy on the phone somehow

again, thanks for tolerating my dufusness

to install that theme just flash it exactly like how you flashed the ROM, go to recovery, then install from sd card, choose file, and select it and install.\

good choice
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
I just discovered something. I installed this rom and the battery reads 98% when I unplug it (I know it's a 2.2.1 known "feature"). For some reason this has bugged me even though it's one of those non-issue issues. It has caused me to steer away from 2.2.1 roms. I decided to try something though.

I just installed firebird 2 v0.4 on top of this rom, and the battery "feature" is fixed. When I unplug it now reads 100%.

Sorry if this was already posted. This thread is tough to keep up with :)

I had to go into lbstestmenu and delete gps data before mine would work. Before deleting the data I got one or two sats with no lock.
[Captivate Android Development] Rooster*:
My gps (4.1) ain't so great now either. My location skips around all over town and the closest it gets is 1600 meters, sometimes a mile or two away but always reads 1600 m. 3.5 was dead on for me and was the best I've ever had. Don’t get me wrong, this is no deal breaker for me. I'm not defecting to another rom. Phoenix has found a home in my heart. Thanks for all you do Adam!

Cog 3.02 to phoenix need to reflash kernel?

Any one having issues with the Market not showing installed apps? I updated my id via android id changer. But still all it shows are the apps that are installed stock and the ones I have purchased.

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You don't "install" it per say. You use a system manager such as Root Explorer and put it in the system/app folder and it will do the rest for you. Anything that is a system app has to be done this way.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
To those that have GPS issues, this is what I find kikstarts the GPS to working

I go into the LBSTestmode menu and simply set the agps mode to control plane then run a location test, it will get a lock, then I go back and reset it to supl. GPS keep going after that.

I have done this after flashing different roms with the same results (if it is a rom with good gps in the first place, like PhoenixR. of course)
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
All OK

Truthfully speaking, yes I was a little p'eed off that the civility that people ask for they can forget to give.

But, I am way over it....

since I know you guys put tremendous effort to get this stuff out. You definitely have your style etc. I have been modding my phones since my Motorola ROKR (many years ago), but I will admit my personal situation gives me no time to do anywhere near what you guys do. So I really respect your efforts. I post rarely, when I get a chance, and when I can really help. Otherwise I stay out of the way if I have nothing useful to say...than just whine and complain.

There are a few of us guys like this, who are very serious about getting their money's worth out of their phone, and people like you you help us stay from getting frustrated. I respect the relationship, and I will always give devs the last word.

If I win a lottery, I would become a sponsor big time of all guys like the devs here so companies don't constantly rip of people with half a*sed products and highly restricted functionality.

Well that's my $1 worth...........at least its off my chest....

Thanks for listening, and keep on !!

Sorry I explain it incorrectly I copy then to the system/app using root explorer and nothing happen so I click on the Dlna.apx and it ask me to install or view I click installed and it goes to the motion and then it tells me "application not installed".

Same happen with the video player.

Well ordered the breakout board for 3 dollars this morning so i can make a nice jig to hopefully get my phone back in download mode as it just gets to the boot animation then vibrates like something FC and the animation restarts.

[Captivate Android Development] scottmac019:
Worked like a charm...Thanks Adam!!! Really loving Phoenix!!

That sucks. Jig should work. I have been lucky and recover from my mishaps ;)
[Captivate Android Development] codyrt:
I'm having quite a few strange issues. I followed all steps and backed up everything, flashed the ROM, and it appeared to work fine except for the issues below:

Each time the phone boots, I get an Email force close, replacing the .apk file didn't seem to help.

When I receive a phone call, the person only hears one ring before going to voicemail, and on my end the phone rings once, and the signal strength goes down to nothing for a second and then comes back.

My barcode scanner app also force closes, I cannot use it at all.(Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help)

I have a backup from before flashing the ROM, and when I try to restore it, the phone hangs at the Phoenix logo(before the boot animation).

Yet if I restored the backup of the ROM I flashed with all my apps restored, it will work just fine aside from the issues mentioned above.

I really love this ROM, but could anybody pinpoint my problem or any suggestions would be welcome?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:

Would like to see more Lagfix options vs. just voodoo. Do you plan to implement others into the next build?

[Captivate Android Development] codyrt:
Eh, I was hoping that wouldn't be it, but thats easy to accomplish, everything is all backed up so I could make a clean start and restore only what I need.

Battery Life

Here's a screenshot of my battery life.

All I've done this morning:

1) Installed Screenshot App

2) Took a 10s call

The rest was idle time.

So basically 5% drain every 25 minutes.

Again, I've got three batteries- I can charge them all on the wall charger (outside of the phone)- ALL of them do the same thing.

I can switch to Perception or Cognition and battery life is instantly better (we're talking 1-2% every hour).

If you want me to try something (again, a battery bump isn't it), let me know, but otherwise... I've stated the facts for my phone, I'll probably just give up on this ROM and use something else.
