My battery seems a hell of a lot better. Your results may vary.
[Captivate Android Development] pside15:
Are you going to keep the look of the stock lock the same? I like the stock android lock screen but its always looked different when I've had to use the lock screen chooser. Great rom, btw.
[Captivate Android Development] stevenperry:
Does this fix the fc issue of saving an image from the browser or will that still require the update from SGS Tools?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
When can we anticipate this release?

Will this remove the video calling capability that is not able to be used/front facing camera issues loaded into the camera.apk on the first page?

Battery does seem to drain faster than Axura 2.5.1

GPS locks indoors for me finally, YAY! (always locked outside on Axura ROMS +1 for adam!)

Doesn't seem quite as snappy as some of the older ones.. the voodoo lag fix is confusing and I dont understand how to tell if it's enabled or not.. (heard the voices yes.. still not convinced it was installed)

Missing multiple lock screens, liked that option.

Internet seems crazy fast, faster than before on wifi or 3G.

Glad BLN is gone but those buttons don't respond as well now & the haptic feedback is weaker which is frustrating. I can also tap a button and they don't always work, sometimes having to repeat tap them.

Feedback to my feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your hard work & great rom.

Nice that you are addressing the issues from 1.5...all of which appear to be changes that can be applied via update rather than wipe, will this be the case?

I installed it all and it was working then I tried to flash a theme from the phoenix-hq site and now I am only getting the starting phoenix animation over and over again. Is my phone bricked? I can get back to the clockwork recovery. What can I do?

Please help
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Bro, those were for v1.0 only, it says so on the site. You are now stuck in boot loop. You have to get into recovery using the three button method and then flash again.

If nobody wants those themes anymore I will remove them because I don't want to cause soft bricks. Let me know if I should leave them up there.
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
Wipe it and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
Can you put them in a section labeled for 1.0 only? I know there are still some out there using 1.0 who may want them.

Well guys, I tried this ROM after FireFly which worked great, and was the only ROM that I got to work with bluetooth voice dialing (BTVD).. and this is the ROM for me. Thank you.

I came here with the intention of fixing a major BTVD issue, and a couple of what I thought were minor glitches at the time ( espically compared to BTVD which has been working on phones for ever). What I came out with is a faster, more stable, more reliable, and better functioning, more featured, and more up to date phone... You can not Imagine how happy I am. I HATED this phone after finding out out BTVD didn't work on my phone, neither rogers nor samsung wanted the phone back, or to offer any help. The phone was laggy, social hub kept hanging the phone and crashing, all the crap... the list goes on. Now I absolutely love my phone. You turned my first android experience from disaster to heaven.

Thank you once again.
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
i dont use the phone part of my phone much (go figure) but i actually made a call yesterday and the voice quality of the person on the other end was pretty bad. it was muffled and i had to keep asking them to repeat what they were saying. hopefully that was just an anomaly but it isnt that big of an issue for me since i rarely make phone calls anyway.

Wifi power consumption

I have been using many ROMs in these days. The best successful ROM to me was Cognition 3.04, which gave about 1% of battery drain every hour with WiFi turned on (I have 3 push email accounts, but no facebook or other regularly updating apps). However, I wanted to use Speedmod kernel, but whenever I use this kernel, the battery drain was so fast (5~6% per hour for the same setting).

I have tried many things including:

1. Use up all the battery and fully charge, wipe the battery stats ...

2. Installed speedmod kernel on Cognition 3.04

3. Installed speedmod based ROMs including Firefly, Phoenix, Precision ...

4. Applied wifi drain fix

All these trials have made the fast battery drain. However, what I discovered today was the battery drains faster in my house. I used the same setting in the mall this afternoon, and the battery drain was 1% in an hour with WiFi connected.

Do you think it is possible that the Wifi power consumption on my Captivate can be different based on wireless routers? If it is, can I configure my router for the less power consumption? Or, why does the speedmod kernel drain the battery faster than the Cognition's kernel?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] cy-rock:

SuperNova Beta Testing

I've been playing around with SN now for a couple of hours and can't find much to complain about accept what has already been reported.

* Force close when selecting voice input output method and when Nav trys to install TTS. I installed eSpeak from the market to see if that would help but I can't select it because of the FC. Now instead of Nav FCing it just closing the app without a message.

* Icons don't match theme I'm sure this will be fixed for the initial release.

* The battery appears to discharge a little faster now I'm not sure if it's because I've been using the phone a lot today testing. I still need to do the battery re-cal thing and delete batterystats.bin.

* GPS is locking very fast and up to ten sats but its still bouncing around on me, I can be standing still and the arrow on the map still move around but not as much as before.

All in all I'm very happy with SuperNova.

I converted the brand new va green theme from vukandric to work with phoenix and supernova when its released. The download is in my signature. Theres a version with a clock and with out a clock. Vukandric made a lot of awesome changes, screen shots will have to come later since I have to get some sleep. If ya want to see what changes he made head over to the i19000 theme section under va green v11 . Telling you, you won't be disappointed ;)

Oh and my themes in my sig have every thing you will need, all the themed apps are in there, at least the ones that work with our rom lol

I've been on Supernova now for about 8 hours. My battery is down to 41%, and that's with Juice Defender running. I've used the phone a little more than usual, but not enough to warrant the extra battery drain. I had the same issue with 4.5, which is why I went back to 4.1. Not sure what the difference is, but 4.1 just gives me much better battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Sorry but with out a couple days of draining and charging you really can't compare battery life with roms.

True, but for some reason, I never had to do that with 4.1. It just lasted from the beginning.

I'll give SN a chance, don't get me wrong, I'm just used to the stellar battery life I had with 4.1, and Adam did ask for feedback.

GPS Improvements -- especially while driving

All,

I have been quite obsessed with GPS on my captivate (especially tracking) and have been doing a lot of research. I found a great thread about it that really helps explain the different areas involved, experiments people have run, things to try etc. In fact I believe Adam got his GPS settings from Da_G on this (his) thread. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941

With a little experimentation I really do have amazing GPS now with 4.5. 10 sat lock inside the house with very little bouncing around. Really amazing tracking while driving with very, very little drift off the roads. All of this with between 10m and 30m accuracy. Here is what I did -- I hope it helps others.

1) Changed my modem to UGJL2 -- This one of course seems to really depend on what modem works well for you with GPS.

2) Went into the system\etc\jupiter.xml that came with 4.5 -- which by the way is the dagnarf-gps-tweak-att.zip in the thread in the above link. In the jupiter.xml I changed the following lines:

DynMode="DYN_AUTOMATIC"

CNoSmoothEnable="false"

3) Reboot phone to have changes take effect

originally those two lines were DYN_PEDESTRIAN and true. You can read more about those settings and alot of others in that link.

Note that there is some talk about removing the back cover while using GPS and I must say it does make a difference. It does keep a much tighter lock. However I was able to track while driving both ways but without cover is noticeably better. Also you must keep the phone with a clear view of the windshield and not down on your seat or center console. It is very strange since it can lock in your house but while driving it must have a clear shot of sky.

I hope this helps some people that are getting frustrated with their gps function of the cappy like I was.

Am looking forward to SN and seeing how that is.

Thanks.

Steve

[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
With a battery you do not need to flash at 100% ; however, as I understand, when flashing a rom the device does not automatically know a full battery. There are 1500, 1600 and 3300 mh batteries out there. Sometimes after a flash indicator sill show lets say 95%. In actuality that battery may only have been at 60% of it's capacity. Hence one may seem to see an amazing amount of battery drain. Each charge cycle calibrates a little. With the prolific nature of Adams development, what I have found to help is to use an external charger and drop in a fully charged bat. after each flash. Standby use then has been consistently a drop of no more than 6-7% per hour for the last two firefly and 4.5 phoenix roms, (that is with GBalls kernel at 1280 and GPS active (again, thanks to Adam). Not a very technical expkanztion but hopefully this helps to inspire a bit of understanding in why some may seem to see battery drain while others will not.

[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
While the battery issues seem to be resolved with 2.2.1 now (kudos), it crashes constantly. Not sure what the deal is, unlike the charging death, I can't pinpoint it. Sometimes it happens immediately after I end a call, sometimes after getting a text, really just depends.

Mikey, I have been flashing roms over and over and never had problems.

Now I wanted to try 4.5 fresh so I went back stock, master clear, root and installed rom manager. Now when I select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in Rom Manager, I get the message "An error occured while downloading your recovery". I have never seen this and have no idea what it means.

Can someone educate me how I can get past this error?

Thanks for all your help.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Save your self the hassle and grab the update.zip from the faq and use that. It is the rom manager recovery. You will have to save it to your phone memorey and Then reboot into recovery and reinstall packages twice for it to take the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] jsuresh:
Thanks, that worked.

DO you know what theme Mikey is using that is shown in 1st page pictures? I really liked that weather forecast thing.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
I can confirm the first issue with the force close in the voice input screen and within maps/navigation if you try to install voice files.

I also have a fc issue with pandora immediately after opening the app. Can someone else with SN test this?

I can definitely say that the battery lasts a LOT longer on my phone than before. Also as a test, I enabled the lagfix to compare and I can honestly say that with the lagfix disabled, the phone still runs smooth as ever.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
He probaly passed out lol last night, I know I did. Both of us and some others were working our behinds off all day yesterday on supernova. I know I had given him a few ideas and he was gonna try to work them in before release. Hopefully tonight guys , believe me its worth the wait ;) . I know that some of you know this release coming out started with me having a few people test docs js3 i90000 rom to see if it was worth porting phoenix over to. And all I have to say is Adam went beyond what I was hoping for. Supernova blows docs rom I was testing away. Now don't get me wrong docs rom is awesome and the rom kitchen he has is just the coolest thing I have ever seen but supernova is right there -the kitchen lol

The Ultimate Battery Compliment

Have been using Phoenix 4.5 for nearly a week, now. (Practically Ancient, the way you guys push out new ROMs!) :) I got my Captivate in July and for only the 3rd or 4th time since I got it, . . . . . . . .

I closed the micro-USB port sliding door since I knew I wouldn't have to open it back up, for a few days.

From looking at all the Themes and Wallpapers, I rather get the impression that a lot of you must have tattoos and possibly some of you even ride motorcycles. I have my own Captivate considerably toned down, as be-fitting both a business environment or at church (two places I sometimes have to shut down or re-start my phone). But as long as you keep driving high performance ROM development, I say go with it! :)

The battery life, compared to how it was when I first got it from AT&T, has finally set me free from the tyranny of always being close to a charging cable.

For that I thank all of the people involved in Team Phoenix. Y'all can talk about this many percent drop per hour, but to me, no longer having to obsessively monitor it is the real criterion.

And being able to slide that door shut.

Thanks, again.

Adam,

As you can tell by my post numbers I am more of a lurker here but have been using your ROMs for a while now. Been IT'ing it for about 15 years now but still new to Android or smartphones for that matter. I have used others ROMs before Phoenix and compared to the others, yours are by far at the "sweet spot" I am looking for. I flashed 4.5 on 2/2 and it runs great. I have read many of the post about "I want this app" or "I want this look". I understand when you say "I created this for me and this is what I like". You are sharing this with us and making these phones great! I appreciate this and I think most of the folks following this thread do also. I have not flashed every release of Phoenix because the ones I have flashed have just been so good! Seems like I am flashing Phoenix at a rate of every other to every other and 1/2 release. Sure I would like "this or that" to be this color or "this or that" to be that color but that is up to me....once I figure out how to flash or change a theme. I set the visual aspect of my PC up to my liking just as you set the visual of the Phoenix ROM up to your liking. Thats the way it should be. You have shared a incredible base for us to start with and I am very grateful. I was happy with my phone out of the box...until I found XDAdevelopers and the Phoenix thread! I quickly found out how lacking the out of the box product was. It was kinda like running Windows 98 on a Quad Core!

Here in Texas we have this little saying "Don't Mess With Texas"!

Well...let me add...

Don't Mess With Phoenix Rising.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Bump...

I noticed at least one other person posted about a boot loop on 4.5 when using an app protector app. I'm not too concerned about fixing this on 4.5 if SuperNova comes out tonight since I will flash it tomorrow. I've said a couple of times now "I think I'm done flashing" - yeah right - that will happen when Adam stops putting out newer versions.

I'm hoping someone testing SN could test "application protection" or something similar to ensure it works with SN. Beware though, that you may get stuck in a boot-loop - hopefully not.
[Captivate Android Development] dsc522758:
That green on black looks cool doesn't it! Kinda like glwo in the dark! It may be a bit too dark for me. I think with these great displays on the Captivate I would like more color though.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Lol I had to laugh cause I just said that last week. I was gonna stick with a release for awhile cause there so fast and stable now. Then this week I started playing with js3 and helping Adam and I have flashed my phone ast least thirty times since tuesday lol

Thanks a lot for finding this. I've been curious what affects GPS. I know everyone says it depends on your phone but there has to be real paramters that affect performance and was curious what they are. If all "1007" builds in CT for example set these parameters the same I would expect the same performance for GPS unless SamSung uses different hardware within the same build which would be really weird - that's the point of the build "I think".
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
+1

Very same scenario here. My Cap on Phx 4.5 is the BEST its ever been...and great looking with DarkFire 4.1. Battery life is amazing, and GPS, while not great, has improved...some.

You guys on Adam's thread have wet-nursed this nOObie all the way from "clueless" to damn-near Android genius in the last 6 weeks, even though I've been an IT/Computer Tech for more years than I care to remember! I appreciate you all.

Now, will someone clue me in to Supernova? Another Adam creation? Where? When? ...See what you guys have done to me? Hahahaha
