3.5 has jk4 which for my 1007 build has given best tracking (along with jk3 and tljl3). I tested JPP and had good stationary locks but bad tracking. My first two turns missed me by a block and kept going after i had turned which i haven't had happen with jk4 or tljl3.

I think the unique challenge with our captivates is that particular builds seem to be more cooperative/cohesive with different modems.

for what its worth my best tracking to date remains the jk4 and tljl3

with

spirent server

with supl secure off

and set to control plane

If you want to get JPP with 850 enabled follow the modem thread guide. As far as voice/signal i didn't have any issues with JPP on 1900band when i was using it but this very location/condition/variable dependent.

Here is the page to the various flavors of the most recent speedmod kernel for our captivates not the I9000 which has been getting posted by accident.

it will only work if you flash his kernel over speed mod. I want it to be the default kernel which is where the problems arise.

Are the files for Phoenix 3.5 read only??????

I installed r64 theme. Worked fine but lost home haptic feedback. Tried to fix it via root explorer, and I get the warning

'cannot rename email.apk because it's read-only'.

How do we fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
I had the same issue so in root i had to mount as r/w and then go to system/app and replace or delete then worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Also if you installed a theme then most likely the .jar file that had the fix for haptic got replaced which you should be able to replace once you get your read write issue resolved.

Oops! In my haste to install 3.5SM over 3.0, I forgot to disable the Lagfix first. I haven't thoroughly tested everything yet, but I haven't noticed any problems.

Should I undo the lagfix (with the SpeedMod CWM) and reflash or not worry about it unless I run into problems?
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
One question, It seems the black theme of the gingerbread keyboard has been removed..it is back to normal grey buttons. Is this supposed to happen?(upgrade to 3.5 from 3.0)
[Captivate Android Development] Savok:
I did the same thing, no problems here.

Adam, can you enable R/W for Root Explorer as default in the next version?
[Captivate Android Development] mehdi_s82:
I still have 3.0 and I tried both firebird 2 and speedmod k12m (for captivate) both in 500hz. I enabled lagfix on both and battery usage is significantly better on speedmod.

I use JPP modem.
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
I am about to flash 3.5 but I see alot of threads talking about how 3.5 doesn't have lag fix. But has other options similar to.voodoo...when I flash where do I go to set these settings

captivate phoenix 1.5
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
You'll need to boot into recovery and choose ULF settings, LAGFIX options. then the Data -> EXT4 conversion is recommended

Also take a look at the other tweaks available. They really help speed up the kernel and reduce battery usage.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Just an update. Fire fly has the best gps function I have ever seen out of a captivate. It locked on in maps in 5 seconds on initial load and tracked me like you wouldn't believe. This may just be the next best thing !!7
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Read only of the system came from the kernel. It is a little safer against accidental (or malicious) damage, but requires you to remember to change it when you want to update something. You can have it enabled by default from recovery.

Need help - phone shows phone-exlamation-computer icon

I managed to hose my captivate while doing odin. Now the phone shows "little_phone - exclamation_mark - little_computer", and nothing else. I can not get to recovery or download modes.

I have already tried:

vol_up + vol_down + pwr

vol_up + pwr

vol_dwn + pwr

the usb gig that connects pin 4 and 5 of the USB with 300K resistor.

In all these cases I still get the same screen. Any idea how I can get back to the recovery/download screen?

Thanks

Little observation....

I like the Cozmic 76 theme and we knew the VM icon wasn't working on Phoenix 2.0 or 2.5 was it? Anyway, it was working on Phoenix 3.0, but now it's not on 3.5 (with Cozmic)...I didn't test with the original theme.

No biggie...got this flashing/restore thing down to a science, just curious if anyone else noticed this.

Again...this Rom just gets better and better...like a fine wine some may say!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Not real sure what each of the different tweaks do. Is there a post that shows what each does for LAGFIX and TWEAK? Did a search for speedmod ulk but came up empty for some reason
[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
"Also, re: TiBu, a response I recieved earlier (listed below) mentions a "TitaniumBackup_license.txt " file (the PRO ket I assume). I used Root Explorer to search *.txt from /, and could not locate this file."

You should be good. Zel mentioned that the Market keeps track of whether you purchased TiBU pro, so you should be able sync/dl the pro version without repurchasing. I must have got mine directly from developer via PayPal, but looks like he has better integration with the market than when I first purchased. ( matrixrewriter dot com/android/ -- sorry can't post URLs yet) If you bought the pro version via Market, then you should be able to re-download pro version without paying. Apologies for the confusion.

# Remount all partitions with noatime

atime is a setting where the filesystem updates the access time of a file. This creates a write-after-every-read which slows things down. By default all partitions are mounted with relatime, which is an optimized version of atime. noatime is the fastest, and afaik we don't need atime.

# Tweak cfq io scheduler

Tweaked settings of the disk io scheduler more for flash memory. Defaults are optimized for spinning harddisks. Lowered the idle wait, re-enable the low latency mode of cfq, removed the penalty for back-seeks and explicitly tell the kernel the storage is not a spinning disk.

# Tweak kernel VM management

Set tendency of kernel to swap to minimum, since we don't use swap anyway.

Lower the amount of unwritten write cache to reduce lags when a huge write is required.

Increase tendency of kernel to keep block-cache to help with slower RFS filesystem.

Increase minimum free memory, in theory this should make the kernel less likely to suddenly run out of memory.

# Tweak kernel scheduler

Make the task scheduler more 'fair' when multiple tasks are running. This has a huge effect on UI and App responsiveness. These values (less aggressive settings) are 20% of the Linux defaults, and about half of the Android defaults.

# Miscellaneous tweaks

Increase the write flush timeouts to save some battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
If you have the jig. that's going to be your best bet. Pull your battery, then put it back (without powering on) hook up the jig and wait a good 4 seconds. Make sure the jig is built right. If that doesn't work, I think you're going to have to go to ATT and replace it :-(
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Big thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] erickgoldner:
I suppose that the version of speedmod kernel on 3.5 isn't the last right?

So if get the last one from the thread, can i just replace it on the Phoenix_Rising_3.5_SM.zip file ?

I believe it's the zImage file under /updates folder!

Oh, great! I'm now going to be addicted to 2 ROM's??!!!

P.S. Lastest speedmod kernel is giving me orientation issues. Landscape/Portrait mode are backwards.

Adam, hands down; this is by far your finest work yet. It is running absolutely perfectly for me. I've said nothing to this point, cause, there's been nothing to say but ......Perfect!

I read that the lagfix issue was only needed because the ext4 file system was not compatible with the stock firmware. If you are skipping install of stock then I question the need to undo the "lagfix". Someone please tell me why I'm wrong. :-)

[Captivate Android Development] ulupinar:
Thank you very much. I just went through the instructions on the USB jig and re-did it. Now I am able to get to Download mode. Thank you very much. Now my next problem.

Odin did recognize the device as on Com12. Then I clicked start. I thas been stitting at "File Analysis ...." phase for tha last 10 minues. Is that normal? Or is there something else wrong.

When I did Odin before, it did not take any time in this step.

I already installed samsung drivers. But when I did "adb devices" no devices has been shown. I am not sure if odin has fully recognized the phone. Any ideas.

Thanks again

[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
expanding my limits decided prior to flashing over 3 to 3.5 I would boot into clockwork recovery and do a master clear. I did that and rebooted back into CWR and low and behold I had a green menu instead of the red one I've always seen ever since the first use of CWR. I ensured that lagfix my lagfix (ex4 file system) was not applied and then moved on to see how that master reset effected my version 3 that was still loaded. Lost all my apps but my internal SD was not formated. Three buttoned into CWR again and loaded 3.5. All was well except no sexy robot (Portal computer voice).

After install my device was NOT rooted ?? (didn't think that could happen ??) booted back into CWR and enabled ext4 file system and also choose root the device from CWR also.

LOVE LOVE the new look and everything seems to be working great so far!!! One of these days I'll understand the what and why I'm taking all these steps and using all these utilities to keep from bricking my phone. BTW, I have never used odin to flash stock and before this time all I've ever done was use the computer to move the new ROM to the internal SD three button into CWR and install the ROM and then reset. I've never had any issues or weirdness and the phone has worked great!
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Do you have a list of features yet? Is this similar to cog 3.0.1?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I don't ever disable my lagfix if I'm flashing to stock. Flashing stock will wipe everything and make it all RFS anyway....

2. Black gmail

3. no video call icons anywhere!

4. Strong, working haptic on all buttons

5. choice of stock or GB launcher

6. FB 2 kernel

7. Miui music player(updated version)

8. Amazing freaken GPS(best I have ever had)

9. Default JL1 modem(very clear and crisp calls)

10. The animations you all know and love!

Most likely more but I am working like a mad man and cant think straight!!!!

Edit: New start up animation(nunhugger)

Only 147 MB total size(thats pretty small)

Edit #2- also disabled all of the anoying systeem sounds except for low battery warning bc that's kind of important in my eyes.
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
Using 3.5 for some reason my download and upload speeds are all below or at 1 meg.... anything I should change?
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
The system is mounted read only in this rom. You have to change that before you can write to anything in. the system file structure. There are two ways to do that.

1. From recovery you can change it permanently. I don't remember the exact location, but either under advanced or under mount options.

2. Many programs let you do it from the phone. I think root explorer has that, but also through command line using terminal emulator, or from super manager (available on market). This change will only be effective until the next reboot.

[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
Interesting...I assumed that the RFS vs ext4 filesystem was analogous to windows going from FAT32 to NTFS and defines how data will be accessed at a very low level and if you didn't change back before reflashing to the original file RFS file system then anything in that memory would be inaccessable. Maybe ODIn takes care of that for us? The internal SD card doesn't get wiped does it in a reflash to stock does it?

[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
The internal SD only gets wiped during a Master Clear. With Odin 1 click, that will re-partition the phone, this will revert all lagfixes back to RFS. The SD storage isn't typically used by lagfixes.

Still loving the rom.. but question about gps accuracy not quickness to lock. The quickness to lock is great..but when using google maps in my car it shows me plowing through neighborhoods instead of being on the road that passes by these neighborhoods. It also seems to stutter and then jump to the semi-correct location (again in neighborhoods not on main road that is 500ft away). My old Windows 6.5 phone (BlackJack II) tended to be spot on and not have these problems. Is this just the way the gps is on the captivate?
