it is good to go. At least for me and many, many other users.

Edit: Ask as many questions as you like. Just be patient for your answer from time to time. That is what sets this thread apart from some of the others.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Thanks but I think this is the whole ROM. I just need the theme for 4.5. I installed another theme and don't like it and want to reinstall the original.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
First time flasher with a question. I know in TiBu just backup user apps so is there anyway to save all the shortcuts and widgets on my home screen or do I have to start from scratch after installing 5.2? I plan on doing the entire flash process from back to stock, MC , etc......
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
Flashed JS5 and it is running great. No problems here other then the FB but that is not a big deal. This fixed my youtube not working. thanks for the hard work. :cool:

Dingo
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
There is not shortcuts for shortcuts and widgets. Some flash back to stock and some dont. I just flash over top and dont have any problems. I you start having problems then you just sart over from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Thanks Adam, that answers my PM question ;)
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
This answered a question I had in the supernova thread about what was different between them. Going to have to take the leap to js5 later on tonight or tomorrow when I have time to.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Adam, what ROM has the best future?

When you created SuperNova, I changed to that thinking that would be where you would spend most of your time long term even if you did some updates to Phoenix. Then I saw the Phoenix 5.2 with JS5 and I wasn't sure. Both now have a JS5 version and use the latest Speedmod kernel so other than UI (I use the cosmic76 theme), will there be any significant difference? I know there are some app issues (facebook, new versions of Pandora, etc) but I don't know if they will both have the same issues and which you would fix first, etc. I am about to flash again but I don't want to keep following both threads so I'd rather stick to one type - SuperNova or Phoenix. Any insight on which to choose (ignoring UI)? Will either get more features, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am going to remove the JS5 for Phoenix. There really is no need for it and I should have thought about that. It is just UI that is changed really and a few apk's. The GPS files are a bit different as well.
[Captivate Android Development] t-readyroc:
Hmmm.... if the GPS from JS5 is improved, any way you could make that happen on JPY Phoenix?
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks Adam,

I just flashed my wife's 1007 Captivate with SuperNova 2.3 and used the KP1 modem and her GPS has finally been on a par with mine and in fact tracked better than my Phoenix 4.5 with JK4. I tried Phoenix 5.2 JS5 but fell back due to some app issues. Also, my Good Enterprise app stopped syncing AGAIN so I am going back to stock to see if I can get it working and then will flash SuperNova 2.3, 13C kernel, KP1 modem, and enable the recommended SM tweaks and lagfixes. If I read "between the lines" on your response correctly, SuperNova is "the child you would send to college". Any comment?

On a separate note, I read in a really good battery thread that we should NOT run auto app killers anymore. They were almost required in earlier Android releases and became "dogma" but they can make things worse now because it kills apps which restart automatically and that wastes battery. If you have enough RAM then we are only wasting CPU and the memory to run the killer process. Also, the SM kernel has a "low memory" killer setting which I assume will kick in as necessary and having that part of the kernel would be much more efficient than running a user process - at least that is my "thinking".
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yeah, app killers are a no-no now. I am sure you have noticed that the stock setup on any of my ROMS the mem useage is very low, usually around 200-225 max. Now that will of course raise depending on what you install adn what is running the background, but I designed them to be mem sippers.
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
Have you looked at the KB1 build at all as another option?

Not that the JPY version of Phoenix wasn't awesome!

And the JS5 version of Phoenix is faster but has some very minor "bugs" (if you even want to call them that) that can be fixed fairly easily.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I was going to look into that base. Seems pretty decent.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I'm having a problem with any apps that use the camera, barcode scanner, google goggles, etc. They FC every time I attempt to start them. I've tried multiple kernels, K12U, K13A, K13B and the same result. Could this be from the Hacked Camera? I really like the power button as the shutter but would be willing to trade that out for working apps that use the camera. Anyone else have the same issue or potential solution? Oh, running Phoenix 4.5 with K13B kernel. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
Restore the stock email.apk
[Captivate Android Development] Pvster:
adam, i was starting to have too many issues with the old axura rom so i finally bit the bullet and flashed over to the phoenix rom and i just want to say, omfg this is beautiful. totally wished i had flashed over sooner. great work adam!

is there a difference between the supernova and the phoenix? i notice you're running supernova does that mean phoenix will be phased out?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Adam,

Just to confirm...you will be removing the JS5 Phoenix base and no longer supporting it? I have both downloading but would rather flash the one that you will be continuing to work on. :)

Thanks. Your whole team does amazing work!
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
And I thought I was done flashing !

Well up to v5.2

Really liked the 5 unlock screens, mainly the rotary one ?

But when I put on Cosmic 76 I lost it.

Is there anyway to get it back on now ?

Just thinking. Now that I have the shutdown sound back on. Is there anyway that you could make one that has a start up DROID....sound ?
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
I don't believe that cosmic supports the 5 lock screens
[Captivate Android Development] Baltix:
Hey Adam\Team PHX,

Any chance I could get the email.apk of this ROM posted? This is my favorite for when switching between FF/SN/PHX so far.

Thanks and thanks for all the sweet stuff!

Additionally- funny how previous page wants another email.apk - each to our own eh? ;)

JS5's email.apk if that matters.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Adam my hats off to you. I went from 4.5 to 5.2 JS5 and it's way faster and smoother. Great job.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:

Dammit, any way to keep the galaxy tab email and the hacked camera?

Sent from my Captivate running Phoenix 4.5
[Captivate Android Development] Tigana:
When you gave me these instructions, did you mean use root explorer to place it in there? Is there any way to do it without root explorer? Is there any way I can flash it with clockwork?

Edit: I'm trying to push it using adb but I'm getting permission denied. I tried adb remount but it failed

Edit2: Got it to work, thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
You can get it from sgs tools.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I know that's where I got the Galaxy Tab email app in the first place. Maybe I'll try to restore the stock app and then upgrade again and see if the camera apps work. The camera itself works fine, its just the apps that use the camera that are the problem.

Update: That worked, return to stock and then update to Galaxy Tab email app. Hurray!

TWLAUNCHER bug

I have been fan of 4.5 version and have used it since Jan 2011.

Thanks for another great version 5.2.

It worked great for me.

During the setup seems like I might have run into a bug. Here is the details of the bug

The EDIT on the THEMED TWLAUNCHER forces the application to close. Same it true on many other apps installed via SGSTools.

I have used it successfully on 4.5

I don't think these additional apps or approach plays any part in bug but just for your information; the themed twlauncher was installed via SGStools. I also have and homescreen switcher installed.
[Captivate Android Development] parshu1970:
I am using the 5.2 version.

It would be great if I can find and install the removed Samsung Apps.

Specifically the widget.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
What widget are you talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] DiscipleDOC:
I would like to see the daily news widget. I don't know if that's the one he's talking about though....
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Just grab the geniewidget.apk from any ROM zip you have that has it and put it in system/app on your current build.
[Captivate Android Development] -Kevlar-:
No lwp's? The ones I had saved on titanium aren't showing up

If this is your first time flash, no need to flash back to stock... you are stock.

Do TiBu backup, save it. Android ID Changer to backup id. Backup current ROM. Grab all these off to your PC. I grabbed /efs as well. Might grab /system/apps in case you want back the original Swype.apk or something like that... QuickOffice.apk...

This is what I recall from my first flash (FF1.5) I did. My first *reflash* might be this 5.2 here...
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Thanks. The phone already had pheonix 4.5 when I bought it. I did a complete wipe. Now I have a fresh phone with 5.2 and could be happier.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I never go back to stock and flash all the time. Never had a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Hey guys...been out of country on USAF "business" and trying to catch up on the threads but I have questions:

-Where can I find Adam's Supernova ROM (thread, link)?

-Can I flash it over Phx 4.5 without going back to stock?

-Will new kernel K13C be good to go with Phx 4.5 or Supernova?

Apologies for the dumb questions but I missed a lot while out flying around "SandLand" :)

Gratefully...Chuck
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
All phones should come with phoenix installed imo. :)
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
First...no apology needed, thank you for doing what YOU do and welcome home!!!

Here's the link to Supernova: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955283

Im pretty sure alot of folks flashed SN right over PR without going back to stock so you should be good there.

Lastly K13C will work great with either rom.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I have been using K13C with Phoenix 4.5 and it has been great. Battery and performance are awesome. But before you decide to go for 4.5, might want to just go right to 5.2. I haven't done it yet but plan on it this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
They will once AT&T finishes re-branding it and adding back in their bloatware.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
So I've decided to move to 5.2 before the weekend because I can't contain myself. I'm creating a backup with ROM Manager in case I have a problem and need to revert. Weird issue is that i choose to backup, specify the backup name and then it reboots into recovery. Then the phone appears to try and install something, no idea what, but gets a signature verification error. The phone says its in 3e recovery mode, which I still really don't know what that is. I can scroll through the limited menu and the only option I want to select is reboot, too bad that won't work. I pull the battery and put it back in and it works again. Anybody have any ideas on what may be occurring?
[Captivate Android Development] icnu01:
The 3e I believe is basically stock recovery for updates.

I had the same issue. I did the 3 finger salute/reboot and when it restarted it went straight to the backup. I didn't even get a choice.
[Captivate Android Development] Joel1030:

[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:

[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Don't use one-click, use odin from here instead http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439&highlight=odin3
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
I was reading through the posts and they said that if you had 3-button recovery from the get go, which I did, that using one-click wouldn't adversely affect that. Could I run one-click first, see what happens and then if necessary use this version?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I did run it for a little while, it loaded just fine and for the most part it looks great, but the icons in the task bar are a bit too small, the color doesn't have quite enough contrast, so they are a bit hard to see for my ........older eyes
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
No FC'ing here
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Did you have it on the stock ROM when you got the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Yes, stock from AT&T. I have a 1006 refurb after I exchanged my phone for sleep death.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Thats interesting, I didn't have it with mine, 1008, a referb too. I now only have it with a custom ROM.

I have not tried c3polol's Odin 3 method(link a couple threads back) yet, so I can't speak on it. It does look interesting though. I think my main concern is, because it's "disabled" and is only usable when in a custom ROM, or (in theory) JF6 with c3polol's Odin 3. IF something goes wrong, say, before JF6 loads. It's time to get a jig
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
May have to get a jig just to be safe but I haven't had any flashing problems that weren't very easily recoverable so I guess I'll just flash to stock, take my chances, and flash 5.2. Although I am quite happy with 4.5 right now, I can't look away, it's like a raccoon and shiny things.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I havent had any issues flashing ROM's(knock on wood). The process changed a little bit, and I streamlined it as much as I could.

After I get JF6 loaded and MC, I use Galaxy One-Click Root, then Android Central-Sideload Wonder Machine to install ROM Manager, then I just copy CWM Update.zip and the new ROM to the SD and overwrite the existing, and boot to recovery from ROM Manager
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Thanks! I've been running Phx 4.5 for a couple of weeks but now I'm anxious to try Adam's latest creation - from all reports, it looks FANTASTIC! Y'all have turned this old nOOb into a flash junkie - especially you, Adam! :)

Alright, I was stupid. I ran backups, saved everything to my sd card, but didn't connect it to my computer, as I'm as work, to save everything off. BUT, everything went great. Flashed to 5.2, I'm restoring apps right now.

Not yet. I have to get past a few FC upon boot and then I can. GPS usually isn't a problem for me to figure out though. I am not too worried about it.

I would like to say Phoenix is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I flashed 1.5 today and I love the battery life....My benchmark went up 500-700 and is steady at 1700+ without overclocking.....the phone is flying through pages without a problem....I dont have a single dislike with this rom! I saw in an earlier post that the puzzle was back in 1.5 and I cant seem to find it under the options. also I love the gingerbread green keyboard! Only one thing I ask can you change the battery logo anyway ...not that I dislike it bc I actually like the vertical look I just cant see the battery % very well but if not Ill just add the % to fancy widget no rpoblem...also are there any other themes such as the blakced out one that was for axura
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Ok, first off, 2.0 includes a very nice, vertical battery with easy to read meter, 4 lock screens and check out the themes in the Phoenix thread in themes and apps. I hope this cleared a few things up!

Battery life

Hi, I charged to 100, did stock- master clear- then phoenix 1.5. It is working great but battery drain is pretty bad. I drained till it shuts down, then did the recalibration and wiped battery stat. I went from 78 percent to 21 in less than 4 hours with only 4 mins of phone time and absolutely nothing else.

I read there were others with battery drain issues too but didn't see a fix. Just wondering if there was a fix suggested. Thanx
