Nope, sorry, I'm done

First, adam, once again thank you for all the ridiculous hours you put into the ROM; and big thanks to all the shoulders you stand upon.

Second, nope, nuh-uh, na-ga-da. Phoenix 2.0 Firebird is GRANITE, baby, and I'm staying put. I have never had my phone as perfect as it is at this moment, and the one or two little niggles I can live with or tweak my own self. I have a business need for a working phone and started flashing because Eclair's lack of animated gifs made me physically ill. I tracked all through your experience with @#%^@ flashing pretty faithfully. But Phoenix 2.0 hit all the sweet spots for me, I've now got every app I need, and I've finally got the phone to the point where there's nothing it doesn't do better than my old BlackBerry.

So I'll be monitoring but probably not participating much. You just did 2.0 too right for me to flash again. I'm sorry, but your best from the other day is good enough for me. :D

That said - if there's something in particular that you really think I should have fixed, and you want to PM me a link to an APK or update zip, I certainly wouldn't complain. :p
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, as long as your theme also does the menu at the bottom and for tibu
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, it will be fixed in the update.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, 2.5 is FB only. I am not dealing with 4 releases anymore. That took too much additional time. No FTS or MC is needed. Only disable lag fix if you are not on FB kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Email me about the menu fix unless you have a theme on that fixes the "dark menu"
[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
Market issues, download but no install - FIXED

One last note from me, it's probably been covered but I think it bears repeating.

If you have that issue in the Market where some apps will download but then fail to install, or where the app downloads but doesn't install, or the app downloads and never installs (multiple phrasing to help with search hits ;)) then do this:

1) Make sure Market is closed (task manager or FC)

2) Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All

3) Select Market

4) Clear data

Now try the download again. If it works, good for you, otherwise:

5) Launch SGS Tools

6) Select Market Fix, check both boxes, apply.

7) Most important: after reboot, REPEAT STEPS 1-4.

Even though SGS Tools has that clear-cache option, it doesn't seem to clear the data. I was having problems with 3 different apps downloading but not installing (while some other apps would install, bleh). Following the 7 steps above I've been able to install everything.

And one final note, I've had to do this twice. I have no idea what gets wonky in the Market data, but since these steps have worked each time I really don't care.

That's it for me, hope this post gets searched and thanked (I'm a little weak on the thanks meter, blatant plug.) Y'all have a good day on 2.5, I'm scurrying back to my hole for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I completely agree and understand. Any chance we can at least have links to the other Kernels on the main page? I love the build of 1.4.7 I'm using.

Thanks again.. You really kick butt!!
[Captivate Android Development] g1ddy:
Is it just me or is the site down?

Also would it be possible to include a zip that would just have the files needed for an update from 2.0 to 2.5? I know it would be a bit more time but it would allow people to get their updates faster and save your server/bandwidth =D
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Adam,

Just a heads up; you may not want to post you address. :)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
lol I saw that last night, very accurate too.

Black on black menu fix

Here are two options for the menu. Green takes you back to the Phoenix 2.0 menu background. White is a translucent white option (image attached). This also fixes the blue vibration icon in the pulldown.

Installation is through recovery
[Captivate Android Development] yahooserious:
Top notch ROM you have here! Boots very fast and is generally smooth running.

I have a question about the HSPDA+ that At&t is rolling out. I had a Samsung Eternity before I got the Cappy and that phone was set up for HSPDA+. Whjat does this Phonix ROM have in store for the boosted HSPDA+ sdpeeds.

What i understand is the HSPDA and the +(plus) are able to wwork off of the same chip so it would seem that it is a firmware fix.

Does Phoenix have the HSPDA+ integrated?

thanks!

Y!S

Adam thanks for your excellent roms. Really appreciate your efforts.

This is the first time that I will not be using odin to flash to stock. So a little nervous hope everything goes fine.

Gosh are you uploading with a C64 and a 300 baud modem? Sorry just kidding! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Link is up.

Link is up for 2.5 revised. Can someone please mirror this. I have only one server available and the other is having some issues.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I can mirror it on my own server. Will post links here and website.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Ha ha, real funny;)

I am at work. I had it on the server, just didn't have the time to link it. It is now though.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Maybe I missed it but is there any info about the fb kernel specs. Specifically things like is it an oc kernel etc...???

Check out DG's thread on perception. He created this kernel per my request and put it in his ROM as well. Specs should be in his op.

Kernel Specs:
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Newbie question. Catching up on this thread from Page 169 this am...

I am on stock ROM, rooted (Galaxy OCR), ROM Manager, backed up stock ROM, copied /efs

Question 1: I need to enable non-market-apps so that I can use TiBu to backup apps and user data. I have a link from days ago about running a SQL update command to enable this. I also know that SuperUser OneClick has this option (though I am already rooted, and leary of running a different rooter that may end up causing me grief). Finally, I heard about upgraded/purchased/non-free TiBu has a config setting to do this. What option should I do?

Question 2: I am unfamiliar with Lagfix, Voodoo or otherwise (several variants?). I do, however, see mention to make sure to have lagfix disabled before ROM flash. How do I know if I have a Lagfix solution enabled or present? How do I disable it should I have it? If I don't have one, do I need one? Is is part and parcel to the Phoenix ROM?

Sorry, just trying to understand as much so as to not brick myself.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Adam,

What exactly is meant by "NO WIPE NEEDED"?

Does that mean that all data is retained? ...or that the ROM install is going to do the wipe for me?

Also, with this "No Wipe Needed"... we will still need to disable lagfix before installing, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] vad3r:
Flashing

I'm flashing the ROM this morning, I'm very excited about this one.

What install order do I need to use with this ROM. I had previously flashed my phone back to stock a few weeks ago, do I need to still ODIN flash again??

Thanks All
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Hey Nick! I'll try to jump in, I believe No Wipe means No FTS (Flash to stock) or MC (master clear) required. I upgraded to the 1.4.7 rom and it indeed wiped my data (well I had to reinstall all my apps and data anyways) which I thought was strange.

Absolutely disable lagfix :)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
If you're stock just pull the Update.zip from the faq on page one, reboot into recover (2e, 3 button hold; power, vol up plus vol down simultaneously) install the update.zip and then have the new rom on the sd card and after the phone installs the update.zip (which will root you and allow 3e recovery to install the new rom) do install zip again and go pick it from the 3e menu
[Captivate Android Development] darksum:
Remove it from the 2.0 or 2.5? And also, which folder do I remove it from? I have two browser.apks, one is in data/app and one in system/app. Thanks!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I believe it was in system/app. Just pull it and put it in the same location on 2.5.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
He did that as a tradeoff for batt life.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
That makes sense.

I'm actually more interested in what the frequency change effects. The technical aspects more specifically

**Edit** I just re-read my original question and realized I wasnt overly specific
[Captivate Android Development] jerry b:
I'm a Brit. :D

BTW - a word about nv data. I thought I'd copied the efs folder (for the nv data), but when it came to copying those files back to the computer, I found the folder that I'd saved to sd card &pc was empty. Fixed it with a hex editor and then found that the .bak files still had the correct product codes all along. So all I had to do was delete the relevant .bin files and rebooted, and that worked fine. (i can't remember the filenames - i'm in a New Zealand cafe having a late hangover-fixing breakfast).

Anyway, to get back OT - I'm loving Phoenix 1.0. I haven't found any issues so far, and this sure makes me want to teach myself how to do some ROM alchemy.

Great work guys.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Haven't seen Adam in here for a while.... maybe he's cooking the new ROM right now! :D
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Ahh i got ya. The hz is the internel clock that handles the task kernel wise. Higher the number the faster the kernel can work. Of course there is a bottleneck and going to high will actually slow task down.

Strange thing is. After a few days messing with HZ values i never noticed much different batt life wise.

Oh and thats how i understand it all lol. So take it with a grain of salt so to say lol
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Easiest way I can explain it is, think of that as the refresh rate on your monitor, the higher you set it, the faster the screen refreshes. Higher it goes, the more power it requires.

Stock is 256hz.
[Captivate Android Development] David_in_Florida:
He said he was hoping to release tonight. Hopefully this will be some new year's flashing of a different kind for me!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
That is what I'm after! Thanks smokestack.

So when we hit the limititions of the system hardware we get the bottleneck.

Excellent! thanks for the info
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Thanks DG. I get the analogy,
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Cool. I wasnt too far off lol
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
So in theory, the higher you go, the faster/smoother your user experience will be, at the sacrifice of battery life(Until you hit the hardware limitations)
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Yeah. Its a small change in batt life as well. For me anyhow. Im sure you could go higher than 500 but would be pointless. From how i understand it. Im learning about it. Tryin to i guess.

Kernel work that is lol.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Theoretically. Real-world tests apparently show no difference in battery drain between 256 hz and 512 hz.
[Captivate Android Development] blperks2:
Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks design and Adam and the rest that have worked so diligently on this so far, your time and dedication does not go unnoticed. Sometimes it's easier to say what's bad or not working and not enough THANK YOU's so I wanted to take a second to acknowledge we all do appreciate the hard work. The bad is just a small speed bump but you have made it past the worst, at least it looks like it. ;-)

Awesome work and can't wait for the final to be released.
[Captivate Android Development] blperks2:
Oh wow, love that Phoenix label you made, that is awesome! Wish I had the skills to play around with it all.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Not me I have no skills either lol I just copied from www.phoenix-hq.com lol
[Captivate Android Development] Maliberti:
Not a complaint at, but my phone has never seen over 15 hrs ever from stock to all these different roms.

Do you guys with 30hrs + use your phone ?

My average day is 9 hrs with 30-60 emails pushed from exchange with 20-30 attachments(PDF,Excel) a dozen text another 30 emails on gmail and 45-50 minutes of talk time. Doing all this starting at 7AM gets me to 11:00 am usually charging it via USB for another 30 min will take me to 8PM.

I am fine with this but 30+ hours, unheard of even from my BB curve and I use to get ~ 20 hrs.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Any one getting 30 hours is not using the phone.

I have managed to start pushing 16-20 with some solid user though
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
I got that with RC-1 and the 1.4.3 kernel...and with heavy use I got 21 hours a few times...before I flashed something else...

[Captivate Android Development] beerbaronstatic:
Hey Adam, is the AOSP mms.apk the one I had attached a few days ago?
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
It means that going from version 2 with voodoo you don't need to go through stock, no need for master clear, and you don't need to disable lagfix. It will still wipe your apps and settings during installation and but your internal sd will not be touched.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Guess it depends on the lagfix*
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I honestly cant remember. It is one I used a while back and forgot to put in 2.0. It may be the same one.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Thanks; that's what I figured... just thought I would check... I never FTS or MC anyway, lol

BTW: Adam & DG; I'm quite impressed with the Firebird Kernel! I haven't run any benchmark testing, because I could care less about those numbers. The feel is very fluid, doesn't seem to hangup on anything and I never find myself waiting. Very impressed, as usual!
[Captivate Android Development] beerbaronstatic:
The black background one I assume? If so, I modified it so it'll added messages back to the puzzle lock
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Has the haptic feedback for the home button been fixed?

(Never used 2.0, so please don't murder me if it was fixed there :))
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Than it must be bc I get them on the lockscreen. credits here you come!!
[Captivate Android Development] vad3r:
Do I need to root my phone again? And I used clockworkMod for my last rom install, do you suggest me downloading it again, or is it not needed. thanks again

Ican still transfer to and from files the I did yesterday but not files I downloaded from phoenix website today. Any ideas????
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
copy it to your external_sd and move it that way OR connect it as kies and drag and drop to the phone .. I am having the same usb issue and this is how I got it moved.. OR you could dl the file directly to the phone :)

Any knows issues for 2.5?

Adam,

I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting into this kernel.

I am planning to give it a try. Are there any known issues for 2.5 Phoenix kernel?

In the web, there used to be known issues for kernel 2.0 but I could not find it now.

thanks

[Captivate Android Development] dq13:
I've been flashing this ROM since 1.0 and I like it a lot, the ONLY "problem" is that the call log shows every text in it, so to find a call I need to scroll the heck down since I text like crazy... any way to solve this? I couldn't find any setting to show calls only. this would make it perfect for me... everything else is awesome, battery life, etc

Wow. I spend half the night getting my phone to work on 2.0, get in here to say it works but I don't know what app was the issue, and now there's 2.5. Long sigh.

Adam, you are truly the man! Thanks for all your work. Just downloaded 2.5, and from the sound of things, I'm gonna love it!
[Captivate Android Development] Thanontos:
Wow thank you for the recommend. I wasn't aware there was SMS apps in the market like that. I came up from a blackberry so not used to the apps.
[Captivate Android Development] meyesme:
Not complaining as it's no biggie...easy enough to restore...

But this flash > upgrade certainly wiped my phone 100%.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
capacitive search button confirmed working 2.5

nice work adam.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Is that after applying the fix that I posted? That should address the blue silent icon
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
As stated a couple pages back... Adam meant, by that, there is no need to flash to stock or masterclear.
[Captivate Android Development] meyesme:
And I didn't...just flashed over 2.0 using CWM...booted up and everything was gone. Contacts, apps, messages...etc.

As I said, no biggie...everything was backed up as it is. I did notice a few stray app folders in the filesystem so gonna do a freshy now.
[Captivate Android Development] meyesme:
Oh...gotcha now! Durrrrr! Didn't quite read into that deep enough. :)

Late night that involved too much fun and my head is 1/2 here today!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Even your fix won't hold that 1 icon. I can't get it to stick. All the others work great.
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
You can always just flash the GB keyboard like I did, yeah works great
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Nice Work!

I just wanted to say that coming from Cog-->Axura-->Phoenix 2-2.5 I am and have been very impressed with your work Adam. This ROM is rocking my world, as your others have in the past.

One thing I've noticed and just wanted to comment on as I'm sure some may think it's obvious, but some may not...

If wifi is left on to scan, but is not connected to a network it drains battery like crazy. I think the last time I tested it was about 3% in 10 min. I don't remember this issue from older roms or stock 2.1. Personally I consider this an uber minor issue as EVERYTHING else works great and turning off wifi is not a big issue for me. I just wanted to throw this in the mix so it's on the radar so to speak.

Again, thank you for all your hard work!!!!

Edit: The Auto Wifi Toggle app seems to help with this :)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Hoping to find an answer to this.. where is the 1.4.7 in 2.0 build? Each time I try to install it from 3e (from set's site) it doesnt appear in the menu to flash (in 3e) and if I do it from sgs kernel flasher it say it's not a valid zImage

Here you go. I am not good with packaging kernels but it is the zimage. You can just open the ROM zip, and put it in the updates folder and flash.
