Wiping Batt Stats is in CWM recovery, what you do is charge the phone to 100% shut it off and plug the charger back in,(you will notice it is not at 100%) let it charge with phone off then boot back into recovery and go under advanced I think and you will see wipe batt stats, select it and reboot, if not 100% charge till it is

Firefly yes for sure as it is 2.2 base and not 2.2.1 (also your backups wont restore right when going from 2.2.1 to 2.2 no app data will be restored) 3.5 I would just for a clean base

I added the crayon Android with 3 status dots and it works great? I had the Nexus X to start so I am not sure why you are having issues. Maybe when you deleted the first annimation it really didnt? I know it sounds stupid but has happened to me before. :-)

Hey guys, sorry for being absent. I am with the family today. Forgot to mention that the signal icons switch between H, 3g, 1x and edge no problem. Also, does anyone else have a problem with the base I chose to go with? I found it to be very stable and works great. There are always issues with the different firmwares especially when I don't even have an official froyo to work with for the I897. Let me know. I am sticking with it no larger what though. Sorry to those who feel otherwise. I hope I don't upset anyone with this decision.also, I have the advanced power menu working great!

Sorry for not searching the forum before posting this question but I'm on the road with my Captivate and cannot search effectively.

I loaded Phoenix last night and now I'm getting FC on the Phone app. When I try to place a call; the phone app FCs. I seem to be able to receive calls without getting an FC.

I did replace my nv_data.bin with my nv_data.bak to "fix" my Product Code.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Oops, this is the reply for Nickle Dime Bay's Vignette problem. It's working on my phone now.

I put the camera.apk & email.apk posted right around the time you replied to me & put them in system/app. Had some fc's from email.apk so then I went to settings/applications/manage applications/email to clear it's data & the camera/scanning apps are working great now. Good luck Nickle!

I just boot into recovery and flash from there. I do use Odin from time to time for flashing a random kernel tar file or a modem.bin, but never use the one-click and never go back to stock anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I don't disable lagfix either unless I'm changing lagfix scheme. Even when going from ULF to Voodoo, so long as I stick with ext4 on all I don't disable lagfix. All the kernels/recoveries I use understand ext4, so it isn't necessary in my experience.

Maybe its just Vignette that doesnt work? What camera app are you using?

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You can use ADB or terminal emulator from the market to push the apk to system/apps
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Based on what? Disabling lagfix involves copying the data to some temporary storage, converting the filesystem, then copying all that data back and then you're going to re-enable it, copy the data again, convert the filesystem again and copy the data back again. Is that not risky? And yet the way I do it has always worked, is faster and avoids all that copying.

But I don't argue against disabling lagfix the way I do going back to stock. That's a big unnecessary risk that, if it goes wrong, can cost you a lot of money. If the lagfix conversion goes wrong you'll probably just have to reflash. Same with not disabling lagfix; if that causes a problem I'll just reflash. I stopped doing it back around the time the first SetiroN kernels came out and, between flashing kernels, modems, and full ROM, have flashed dozens of times with no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
This ROM wouldn't cause that, but (not to sound like a broken record) if you flashed to stock first with one-click that would do it.
[Captivate Android Development] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
No. I don't have Vignette loaded and still no love on the Barcode reader. Tried replacing the camera.apk but nothing. No big deal. I didn't use it that often.

edit: Oh, I don't use the email app so that won't fix it for me, either.

Bluetooth

Could someone explain to me what parts of android involve bluetooth. (kernel, modem, etc.). I have used roms that give a notification when connecting or disconnecting from bluetooth, roms that dont work with my cars bluetooth, roms that wont download my phonebook to my cars bluetooth, and roms that work just fine.

Just trying to understand, any help would be appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
From what I have been seeing depending the the version of the rom they each have their own BT apk that controls most things that deal with the BT. best bet I would say is to find a rom that works for what you want and pull the apk from there, no promises that you will not find issues though as BT is hardware dependent and we all know that the phones are different depending on where you got it. If you pull one that works for you could you post it here? I am trying to find the probs by comparing them.
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
Before you reflash try going into SGS Tools, Upgrade Stock Apps, click new market app.

That fixed it for me when I tried to install the Black Market app and all it did was delete the market on me.

Hope it works for you too!!!

Unrelated sorry

This is an unrelated question but its a concern and I know someone can answer faster on this thread then any other thread bc of it crazy amount of traffic. So I was going to flash 3.5 I was doing the odin back to stock method that I have done many many times. I completed master clear. I then started to do the factory restore. I was at about 90% complete when the usb came unconnected from my pc. I tired every method except the jig method and couldn't get the phone to charge , go into d/l mode , recovery or anything. Will the company know I had my phone rooted and the rom on it or do you think I'm safe because I was so far along in the factory restore?

Something is wrong with this latest v3.5

Mainly, I have been home sick today. And needless to say on my phone more than usual.

But at this time 6:14 PM, I still have 41% left ?

Wow did I say that right 41%..Yes 41%

Not sure what you have done with this latest version, but don't modify it anymore and go the other direction !

It is working better than anything you have done so far. And I am not even running the all black themes many are, I run a modified Coamic76 theme.

3.0-3.5 Camera FC ... update found compatible no Pin email

Quick update on the camera FC when trying to use vid if using something other than the bundled Phoenix 3.5 Email.apk.

I replaced my old CM6 no pin Email.apk with the following no pin Email from Perception Thread. Post Link

Looks like this is stable with the camera. Pics, vid and scanner (via Google Goggles) works.

Had to remove and re-add my corp account but so far email and calendar seems to be synching. Tried a few quick e-mails to/from my work acct and gmail and everything goes through OK.

Thanks again to Zel and Adam for pointing me to a possible solution. Hope this helps someone else.

Now if only I can use my phone and avoid flashing new shiny stuff for a week or better....Firefly does look tempting though. :)

Yes I am sure about the system data. Personally it is videos like that that people see that contributes to soo many issues that we have around here. They see a video and do it having no idea what they are truly doing and what the changes are. If you look at most threads in the directions they say not back up system data as it has changed from 2.2 to 2.2.1 and depending on the rom changes there to
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:

When are we seeing 4.0? That will surely get people talking again.

PS. I have personally tried FireFly (1.0 and 1.5) and I just keep coming back to Phoenix. Its more polished and everything just works. I cant find a damn thing to complain about:)

Before updating/flashing 3.5, I want to save my contacts but the import/export option only allows me to export to sim card. is there any other way i can save my contacts with all their info such as pictures and links to their name? i have well over 400+ that I would hate to have to redo :) thanks
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
I don't know the answer about another way to export but I believe there are some paid apps that can do it. But note that the import/export to sim creates a vcf and when I reimported it put all my phone types (ala home, cell, etc.) to other... Wanted to warn you.
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
Thanks. I know i can sync with google just not sure if my contacts will reappear if i activate google sync after updating to 3.5? also will i have to back up any installed apps? :)

Thats odd as mine allows me to export to external sd card
[Captivate Android Development] Darkeligos:
Jesus wish I woulda backed up my update.zip for CWM...
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
Yeah if you back it up w/ Google your contacts will show up on your Google acct. Then when you flash a new ROM and have your contacts sync w/ Google they will automatically download w/ the pictures you have assigned to them. Thats how I get all my contacts within seconds every time I flash a new ROM.:)
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Does anyone look at the FAQ lol there is one posted there
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
I have another option that says "Send namecard via" which I have no idea what this really means or does. :D

That will send a contacts info via MMS or email. Do you have an SD card in your phone?

[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
Thanks so much! :) When i first flashed unofficial froyo 2.2 i thought they were backed up and lost them all lol. luckily i had a vcf file from my stock 2.1 but that took forever :) but again thanks!

I only have the internal SD. however when i had Eclair 2.1 it did have the option to export to sd and it did succesfully.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
AHH ok not sure why it cant download to internal memory.
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
No problem. But remember that method is just for contacts. If you want to back up your apps Titanium Backup is what everyone and their dog uses and it works really well.

That is not the way to get answers out of me. I built this ROM to my specifications. I put it out for all to use. I don't do individual builds. If you can flash a ROM you can most certainly change a few apk's out.

Hi Adam, total noob here so I hope this is a more polite way to respond than above. First of all awesome ROM and a donation is on its way. I do need help with a few things:

1) On the Home Screen the message says "This phone belongs to:". Is there a way to insert a name there ?

2) Is there a way to get the VM notification icon up at the top of the screen?

3) If I didn't back up my NV_data before flashing, can I use the Helroz info that you posted to do that now?

4) Finally in the changelog 2.0-2.5 there is no wipe needed. Is that just for those versions or can you do that for all flashes to future versions ?

Thanks for all the hard work, it's been fun watching this evolve. I thought for sure I'd brick my phone if I tried any new ROMs but your instructions were simple enough even for a technophobe like me.

Look no further...

Agreed. I tried Firefly but just found Phoenix to be a better experience overall. I used to flash roms 1 to 2 times a week, but with Phoenix 3.5 I'm not even looking anymore. It's as close to rom perfection that you can get. I'm also using the speedmod kernel and the ZNKP1 modem combo which has been fantastic. Adam is one talented developer.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Can it be done? Yes. I have done it in the past, especially if I know I am going to a very similar ROM with the same system files.

Is it recommended? no.

Not all ROMs use the same versions of system files. You may end up with a complete mess and have to reflash (if you're lucky the phone immediately starts to FC forever and you know you need to reflash, but sometimes you only find out when you try to use something and really can't afford the time for a reflash). I can give you a few examples of accidentally restoring system files on incompatible ROMs: 1. I restored phone app data which didn't seem to be a problem until I hung up a call and suddenly I got 4-5 different FC. Fortunately I had the time to reflash immediately. 2. I had accidentally restored camera information to incompatible camera app. I didn't find out until I wanted to take a picture and couldn't start the camera. That one I had to live without a camera for a couple of days before I had time to fix it. It was a bummer since it was a weekend and I couldn't post my activities to facebook.

There are a few system items that are relatively safe (but nor guaranteed) like the wifi and bluetooth connections. Also, I've never had problems restoring Memo (only way to get back the memos after a reflash) and restoring bookmarks. If you do try to restore any system data immediately check that it went ok and be ready to reflash if it doesn't, there's no other fix.

Update

There have been some advancements towards version 4.0. Currently I have gone through and removed every single apk that was wasting space. This freed up roughly 20 Mbs.
