Just flased 5.2 yesterday and phoenix runs along as nice as I remember it. IDK, if I'm just lucky or have an extremely versatile build, but I never use Odin to flash to stock before I flash a new rom anymore. I havent had any issues(fingers crossed) to this point. I flashed all the FF roms, most of the phoenix roms, even cog4 and then back to phoenix 5.2 all without flashing to stock.

I have read some others that don't flash back to stock either but I'm hoping it doesn't come back to bite me at some point. Kudos to team phoenix, great job Adam, et al, keep up the good work!

Oh, btw, I always disable lagfix, wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache before flashing new rom.

NOTE: I'm not recommending this, just letting you guys know it works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I hardly ever flash to stock anymore as well.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Same thing here - I alway just wipe dalvik, etc and it works great. I just remembered the last time I flashed to stock was when I tried the JS3 firmware build of SN. Since I had never flashed a new firmware I "thought" it would be safer to flash back to stock via ODIN - NOT... :confused:

Of course, I guess the first phoenix with JPY was a newer firmware then the stock but I didn't know anything back then. I know a "little" now...
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Thanks kanji...I can always count on you to set me straight...And thanks to harpo, as well, for the heads up on Adam's GPS fix.

Anyone running Valle Honeycomb theme version 1.1 on Phoenix 5.2? I was running the older version of this theme on FF 2.3 without issue. The new version 1.1, has been ported to JS5, but I'm running JPY phoenix?
[Captivate Android Development] silent.bob:
Not sure about jpy. I would wait anyway to try it. He left it real buggy. Lots of white text on white back ground and dark on black back ground. Love the theme tho. But going to wait for a week and a few updates. Sporting Dark fire atm.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Yeah, after reading through that thread a little I did notice some people commenting on the white text/background issue. I'll most likely wait a bit and let the bugs get worked out. I really like the battery icon in the honeycomb theme. Not a big fan of the battery icon in stock Phoenix framework(no offense adam);). Looking for a different battery at the moment....

Flashed to 5.2 JS5, fixed my 4.5 GPS woes!
[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
Do you have to convert both system and data back to rfs before flashing? I am not sure if it is required to convert system and data to ext4 to enable lagfix these days, but I do both. I actually assume I do both - I cannot tell if system is already ext4 after a flash.
[Captivate Android Development] dabuddha:
I'm getting force closes whenever I try to access Text-to-speech settings, not a biggie, just wondering if anyone else is getting it and how to go about fixing it.

Thanks for the input Rich. I think this method is close to a last resort for him. If I remember correctly, his son reformatted the SD's(Possibly both internal and external). It seems that all he has is recovery mode and CWM. Everything else is gone.

Just flashed from 4.5 to 5.2 JPY and loving it. only thing that is off is the white notifications in the pull down menu.

I want to comit to this update but just this little thing, curious if it will be covered in the next update? (soon?)
[Captivate Android Development] takerfan:
For some reason the USB debugging notification icon isn't showing up even though it's enabled. Only the usb mount one is. If I disable debugging then no icons show up in the status bar

Anyone else have similar issues?

Hands down the best rom ive tried out ..Ive tried Cognition and Andromeda and barely even got close to how amazing the battery life is now with phoenix. It's been 2 days so i hope it stays like this..

Only and Major problem i encountered was my phone went into infinite loop at night after downloading a application from market place. Idk what happened but i had to go back into recovery and reload 5.2..If anybody can explain that it would be great but other then that great job on the rom will be on the look out for more updates

Cappy

Hey everyone. I have not been around for a while on here because of some health issues with a new baby and all. But I am very partial to the Supernova/Phoenix/FireFly ROM's and I wanted to throw this out there for you guys first before I posted this anywhere else.

Due to these recent medical events my family and I are having to downsize cell phone plans. Family comes first and I am sacrificing. I am going to be selling my Captivate. It has been great and if anyone is interested in having another one as a back up or ROM tester or any other reasons. It is in flawless condition and has been running Supernova without a hiccup. Please PM me and I will get in touch with you. Make me an offer and we will talk. I will still check back on here and see how everything is going and offer help when I can.

I hope this finds everyone well.

can someone post their camera and camerafirmware apk's? when i try to access my camera, it just flashes on and off and never becomes usable. Eventually, it errors out saying "camera failed". a reboot didn't help.

[Captivate Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Adam,

I have noticed that the GPS with your ROM or any other that I have tested has an average delay of 5-6 seconds. For example, my TomTom will be steady at 55mph and so will my captivate, I then set cruise to increase by 10mph, my TomTom will shows the new correct speed about 1-2 seconds after I achieve it but the Captivate nearly always needs an aditional 5+ seconds to catch up past my TomTom. I have heard of the Captivate Gps being slow. Instead of working to make it more accurate do you think finding a way to streamline (speed up) the communication between the GPS chip and the OS

could also increase its accuracy by default???

Would you mind sharing your thoughts on this???!!

!!!!Sent from my Phoenix 5.2!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
I noticed that too. I also noticed a FC with MMS attachments. I re-flashed to 5.2 JPY and the apps work again along with Pandora, but still get a messaging FC.

This in response to the poster along about the host file and blueputdroid....

Adam,

Saw something over in the SN thread that you were looking for a list of changes/fixes for all the roms for a future update, here's my list for Phoenix:

- fix F/C on newest Pandora

- add the Calc back in

- figure out the problem with Asphalt 5 disappearing from app list after reboot

- Add the Facebook sync back in so it shows the pic in MMS and calls.

JPY vs JS5

Sorry if this has been addressed already and if it's a totally stupid question, but I'm just wondering the short and sweet of the difference between the JPY and JS5 versions before I flash from 4.5.

Ty in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Not a stupid one. JS5 is a newer version of JPY. Its pretty close but its going to be a little faster, and a little more refined. You might not notice the difference. But your phone might run better on one than the other

Sweetness. Soon as i get paid So are you!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Who is doing the themes? I would like them to fix the menu before I release. I have decided against my better judgment to release with the menu being fixed as so many other fixes and changes clearly outweigh it, but that would be the cherry on top.

[Captivate Android Development] rwj5279955:
Real quick if I can mention something about battery life.

If you are coming right from stock Samsung, you'll notice the battery meter doesn't have a number % but a bold meter type display.

Now my battery is draining faster than what came on my phone, but if you look at it ignoring the numbers, it is pretty close. I use mine constantly. Meaning 10 minutes doesn't go by without me picking up the phone and playing with it.

If you get 12 hours of heavy heavy use (flash videos, texts, 12 widgets, phone calls ect.) that ain't too shabby. It's a mini computer you put in your pocket without a disk drive. Not bad at all....

Looking for Suggestions

I am a techie but I am still getting my feet wet with Andriod technology, so please pardon novice questions.

I have gone through my share of learning and trying different roms. Phoenix 5.2 by far is the best rom I have used.

With 5.2 I am running into few questions and need help; I am not sure but it can be just my setup.

ROM Questions

1) Irrespective what I have setup before reboot; After reboot ringtone defaults to Silent.

2) (I have posed it before) TWLauncher "Force Close" on edit.

3) How to Enable advertisement using host file

App Questions

3) Handcent SMS 3.7.9 always shows release notes on start. I tried looking for setup to disable it.

4) GPS locking is still an issue. Tried all fixes including Adam's fix. Any suggestions???

5) Looking for app to control PC & PS3 via bluetooth. PRemoteDriod works great for PC.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that... mostly for you and your wife, but also because we'll miss the great work you've been doing. It's a shame that customer service has sunk to the levels it has as of late (not just with ATT, which has never been stellar).

Well, back to Phoenix (from fusion)... Fusion is great, but just not quite there yet (at least in terms of bluetooth.. which I think is an issue with KB1, not the ROM).

Thanks again!

I think you should hold a class to teach us how to build and maintain a ROM.
