I reflashed 3.5 and speedmod k12N today. I had a real strange issue. It felt like something poppin inside the phone while on a call. I downloaded the voodo app hoping to fix the problem. The call went to the notification bar. Everytime I tried to do a pull down, I got an fc and the phone screen went off and on. I am in the process of reflahing, but this time, I wont touch the kernal or lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
There sure is. Grab the clockpackage.apk from a ROM that has the alarm clock you like. You will find it in the system/app folder and just put it back in that folder on 3.5. You will be good to go my friend!
[Captivate Android Development] ardyer:
Awesome, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Banditlol:
when i search for astro zip i come up with astro file manager which is what i already had installed, is it something else or that actual program?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Actually, I misinformed you. I was referring to the package you already have. What are you trying to DL and I will help point you in the right direction.
[Captivate Android Development] Banditlol:
a video from megaupload, its in a rar.

edit: interestingly enough a rar by itself i can download at 550 MB, though the one i couldnt download was a split rar one at 200, the other at 976. the one at 976 i cant download. is it because of the size or that its split?
[Captivate Android Development] dadams312:
thanks for all the work you've put into this, phoenix has been my favorite rom to date...currently running 3.5

my only minor complaint would be that my wifi reception is a bit weaker than any of the other roms i've used.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
OK, I tried extracting the phone.apk from the phoenix 3.5 ROM and placed in system\app via root explorer. I noticed the size was ~2.4MB instead of ~3.3MB so I figured it would be good. After a reboot, it still wasn't showing up - Disclaimer - I have had a couple of drinks so I probably shouldn't be messing with this anyway :) I then tried downloading Zel's stock dialer via the add-on from the phoenix 3.5 page. I installed via clockwork and I do see the stock dialer but I'm not seeing any VM indication on the notification bar even after the reboot...

Edit: Since I mentioned I have had a few drinks, I figured I would post that I have called from my landline to confirm that there are VMs waiting... :)
[Captivate Android Development] papilliond:
Adam and all who were part of this project, all I have to say is wow. I am running this with the version N of the speedmod with the suggested tweaks and its blazing fast. I have always flashed different ROMs by different Devs but I have always come back to your work for the polish, and more importantly the interaction and consideration you have for the people who flash your projects. I thought that previous versions were the best ROMs I've run, but 3.5 is amazing. Fast, smooth, polished, and themed just enough. No issues, no problems. The only problem I had with 2.2.1 was the volume issue and it's been corrected. That along with amazing GPS, this ROM could be considered a prototype for a future stock ROM. Tremendous job Adam. Anyone who likes to flash different ROMs often, don't flash this one. You won't want to try anything else.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback. I can't wait to come out with 4.0!!! No eta as of yet though, sorry
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
A quick thanks to Adam or whomever created the wallpapers posted in the addons. I have updated my avatar with one of them so I figured a thanks at least was in order.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok guys here you go. Working VM dialers all done up.
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
i'm having an issue where i'm getting FC of the settings apk when i try and change the lockscreen wallpaper from there and choose 'gallery'. i have the sgs tools modded gallery installed, so i don't know if because of that, or the settings apk..

love this rom...

have flashed all the new ones out over the last couple of days, and gonna stick with this one for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Am I correct in saying you flashed a theme? If so it most likely changed the settings.apk from the stock one.
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
no.. no theme installed.
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
and it doesn't fc if i try and change my homescreen wallpaper that way.. only when i try and change the lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks for working on this Zel... However, I downloaded your new blue dialer.zip, applied it via clockwork, and of course rebooted. I then unlocked the phone and the icon for the phone in the (system tray?) changed to an old-fashioned looking phone (cool - I like it better...) but the phone locked up. I held the power button and it rebooted without a menu popping up (first time that happened). I logged in again and everything appears normal except no VM indication. Next, I will try the darkfire 3.5 theme since I considered that anyway...
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I just tried it and no fc here. Might be the gallery you are using
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Yeah I changed that icon as well. Odd that it did that, I tested each one as I made them to make sure all the images where sized right. Will test again
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok I just tried again and no issues at all. Anyone else having issues with them?
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
Zel - I didn't have the locking issue...the only thing is that I tried the blue dialer and I'm not seeing my VM notification...could this be in the dialertab apk? (I thought VM would be in the phone.apk)
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok I just redownloaded the one from the post to test. Give me one sec.

Edit ok I just used the one from the post and VM showed right up. It is the phone APK that controls it
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I think I know what is going on. Use the ones from the post in THIS thread not the ones from the themes thread. Non of the updated ones have been downloaded from what I can see.

Ok edited the 4th post in the themes thread to point to these
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
OK i'm trying now - going to download from 4th post and let you know momentarily...

EDIT: Sorry zel, not working for some reason...i think it's my phone. I'm going to deal with this tomorrow. Thanks for your help though
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Zel - I apologize - picnip (problem in chair not in phone). I disabled google voice and it is now working. I have darkfire 3.5 theme loaded now but I think it was google voice which I just started using recently...
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Downloaded the new ones, and works great and VM is working on my phone, used my landline to check
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
No VM notification......a little lost !

With quick changes I am little lost with v 3.5 and VMail notifications. I don't have it working- everything Phoenix stock. I am unable to get a clear pic what Phone.apk to install .....or what to do?

Any help appreciated.

Edit: Ok looks like the new dialers should fix it.

BUT, I like the stock clear dialer no colors............can I get that to work with VM notify?
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
Confirmed - VM Notify fixed with new dialer

Just confirmed that newest dialers fix VM notify..........THANKS!
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
clear dialer? the stock is done in greys and blacks
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
Swipe to call in call logs.......??

The cool "swipe to call" where swiping right in the call logs window returns call has been removed ??

Can we please get it back with the new dialers??
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
stock dialer

Quoting zelendel:

"clear dialer? the stock is done in greys and blacks"

Sorry...yes black and white is what I meant !
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
has the lockscreen wallpaper been fixed? I get a fc for settings when I choose wallpaper from gallery
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
Adam,

Awesome ROM. Great battery, fast, great gps, slick looking & stable.

Thank you so much for all your hard work
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I'd like to revert to the stock phoenix 3.5 theme. I installed darkfire 3.5 to try to fix the VM issue but I like the stock better and want to install Zel's blue dialer and the battery icon mod. I doubt it is as simple as expanding the phoenix 3.5 ROM and copying the framework-res.apk into \system\framework. I could probably soft-brick the phone I assume...

Adam, could you include your stock themes in the addon page in case we try a new theme and aren't crazy about it? I lost colors on the power menu (where you see reboot, recovery, etc) - not a big deal but I like the other stock options better as well.
[Captivate Android Development] chappatti:
Delete request

Hmmm...I see the small green call button on the call list.....as good as swiping, but not maybe as cool. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Now that you mentioned it, I also have the same error.

ANYONE having an issue with com.android.phone process FCing on incoming calls....works great when dialing out. How would I fix this without the obvious reflashing through CWM or ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
So, could I find a PHONE.APK file from a prev PHOENIX or compatible ROM and overwrite it into /SYSTEM/APPS section using ROOT EXPLORER?

ADAM, ZEL et all - thanks for your diligent work on this project....hopefully it will lead to bigger and better things along the road of LIFE.
[Captivate Android Development] degenerazn:
Probably a dumb question but do I need to flash to stock to install pheonix? Can I do it directly from clockwork without flashing, I'm previously using cognition and want to switch to this.
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
its always best to flash to stock..
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
As of right now you would have to re flash, sorry.

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I've used various versions of Doc's, Darkyy, di11igaf, Assonance, Axura, and Phoenix (and I'm probably forgetting something) over the last couple of months without going back to stock. I don't have any issues in jumping from ROM to ROM, be they Vibrant based, i9000 based, 2.2 or 2.2.1, and (although I have a nice JIG just in case) I never lose my button combos.

I've had a few bad flashes in the past, but to the best of my recollection, it's only been when using Odin.

It's definitely not necessary to flash to stock. Some people may have reason to believe they had problems by not doing so, and maybe they have, but I've not seen it. Most people just do it because it's become a popular belief that it's the prudent thing to do (though, as I've said, I think it's the imprudent thing to do, particularly using the one-click flasher).
[Captivate Android Development] rwj5279955:
Guys, this ROM really flies. Thanks so much for this.

All the little bugs will be worked out in time...
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
I did the same thing and reflashed this morning (flashed the theme Kizz had, wasn't my style so wanted to switch back). I tried GPS today, and its typical good for me (Southern California), never had a problem despite rain/overcast skies.

Battery drain while NAVIGATION was being used was typical. 15%-20% an hour for me. Has not changed with any ROMS. Always has been like that.

The unusual thing was after I got to my destination, my phone was hot 44 Celsius, I checked in to my destination, and put the phone on silent mode. 90 minutes later, it sill was 41 Celsius and another 20% had drained. I spent time turning off GPS and WIFI and turning them back on, and it started acting normally again. 10% battery drain despite low-average use over 5 hours since.

This is pre-battery callibration.

Overall, great work to everyone who has worked or tested the ROM, looking forward to the next release when most of the things will be fixed, hopefully animations will be back in, GTalk will be back in, or an apk will be added for it, and multiple lockscreens will be back :)
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
adam,

great job and i really like this rom despite some minor bugs. i would like to know, but not to rush you, when are you going to release the next version of phoenix rom? will you update it on the phoenix's website? thanks and again, great job adam.
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
hhhmmm, Very interesting... Thanks for sharing :)
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
The problem with force close on email is that you need to go into manage applications and clear data...then re-add accounts and you should be good to go
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Asking when it will be released is a question I don't think even he can answer. Dev's don't put timetables on releases because anything can happen to where the date passes. And I know it will be updated on the site since V1 and V1.5 both were up there. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
I just put the one you supplied in my system/app folder and when I rebooted I get "The application Email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly" every time I boot. Did I do something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
Adam,

Does this fix gps accuracy or just quickness to lock? I am fine with quickness to lock but would love it to be more accurate.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Could someone please post the camera apk. that doesnt FC when switching to video? Guess thats wasted money on Vignette for now

[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
If your post counts were higher I would have mentioned another way. Since you may not be as familiar with how things work, I would say yes reflashing would be easier for you.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
The more I think about it, your still flashing over an installed OS whether it be stock OS or a custom OS so what is the difference? Also, dont most roms wipe the partitions that the OS itself is installed to prior to writing?

Post 1060

The one I posted was from yesterday and I don't know if it is different from what Adam posted in another question you asked. Why did you ask again for it when it was supplied to you an hour earlier?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Not a misspelling.
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
Just a note, after installed the new email.apk and rebooted, I still got FC, I went to setup/Manage Applications and cleared the data, and then the email and the scanner worked.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
I can't even find email in my Applications - Manage Applications - All list. Is that because it force closed?

Edit: Nevermind - I must have had a Ray Charles moment. Working now and so is Barcode Scanner
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Thanks for that, I think adam said it was a newer one and i installed it and had the same problems as with the original. The one he posted before worked fine and thats the one i was looking for.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yep. For example, from one random update script:

format SYSTEM:

format CACHE:

format DATADATA:

format DATA:

delete_recursive SDCARD:.android_secure

delete_recursive SDCARD:Voodoo

delete_recursive SDCARD:Android

delete_recursive DATA:dalvik-cache

delete_recursive DBDATA:databases​

I don't know, maybe some of the belief that flashing to stock is needed goes back to when people were modding 2.1 ROMs in-place or from experiences with bad update scripts.
[Captivate Android Development] degenerazn:
I thought so. I did flashed to stock and installed Pheonix, but I'm getting "Refreshing SIM data" every so often notification. Is that normal?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I don't get this error at all. Did you use system tools to update the gallery?
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
For future reference, if I do a nandroid backup via rom manager and try a different theme, custom framework, dialer, etc can I restore back exactly the way it was via the nandroid backup (as long as rom manager still works)? I've never restored via nandroid backup but it sounds like that would work.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Here you go. Stock Dialer in a CWM zip
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
To tell the truth I have never had to do a nand backup but in theory you should be able to. I see you are from my home state in CT, Hows the snow lol. I can put together an update zip for the theme if you would like
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
Friend of mine had that problem as well. We noticed that we were using different SIM cards. I had a newer updated sim and he an old one. (At&t) so just for the hello of it he requested a new one and that seemed to fix it. Do u need a new? Idk. We really just did that out of pure luck. :/
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
yes i updated through SGS. the old gallery had the sensor drain bug.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
That is what is causing your issue. Both people that have had this issue have updated the gallery. Looks like that gallery is not compatable with the mod
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I was unsuccessful with FB2 kernel at restoring. However, my phone liked it when I did this with SpeedMod.

YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I can confirm this as well. Using SGS Tools will break customized wallpaper for Samsung lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
Is there a gallery without sensor drain?
[Captivate Android Development] degenerazn:
edit: fixed for now

Reiterate admiration for your work...Only 4 concerns

Hi Adam. I reiterate my admiration for your amazing work. Decided to stay in Phoenix 3.0 (I love it). I just want to mention 4 concerns. 1) Poor battery performance (even after calibration method). 2) There any way that I can return to the stock messages apk (blue and yellow bubbles)? 3) Is there a way to return to the stock colors on Gmail (change the dark theme)?. 4) I lost Quickoffice (free for Captivate) and now the market is charging me for it, know how to recover the original?

Thanks for being to help us and espresso coffee on the way. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Did you try turning off Samsung Apps? Settings--> Applications--> Samsung Apps -->none
[Captivate Android Development] Ashyford:
Ditto for question 3 above. In terms of #4, I notice a crossed out entry for QuickOffice in my Titanium apps list but I can't restore it. I can only uninstall it. In addition, I can't find QuickOffice in the Market. I searched around to get to the bottom of this but didn't find anything concrete. The closest I found was this: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-793049.html. Any help or guidance to restore QuickOffice and change Gmail colors would be much obliged.

Two additional quick questions: i) how can I delete the extra walls on the home screen? ii) how can I re-order apps with the Applications area.

Thanks again for all your work, Adam. Phoenix has breathed new life into my Android experience.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
I, too have noticed that sometimes, not all of my apps were restored with TIBU. I fixed this by going back to previous backups that I did on my PC and found the TIBU file that did work for me. If you never back up your files to PC prior to reflashing, then not sure how to fix - contact the creator of TIBU is the best option, in my humble opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Ok, in regards to quick office I will search and get you the apk at some point. When it comes to the gmail colors, just grab a gmail from a ROm you know has the non inverted version and place it in system/app. That will fix your issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
One way you can try is to download the Stock image and get the apk from it, I haven't try it but it may work. Espero que todo este bien por Puerto Rico.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
It depends on what was changed in the theme you installed. For darkfire you need the framework and twframework apk files. Also, darkfire replaces the settings.apk and vending.apk in the apps, so you may need to revert those too.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks. The ideal for me would be to learn how to create the zip myself if it isn't too involved. Can I look at the files with folder structure that dark fire replaced and extract the corresponding files/folders from the phoenix 3.5 ROM, ZIP and apply via CWM? Any special zip requirements, etc?

Sorry if modding instructions are posted elsewhere. If it is easy to brick the phone this way, I'll skip it.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I have QuickOffice for Captivate 3.2.47 and have never had a problem re-installing it. Looks like the backup you made for QuickOffice was data only. Did you try reinstalling the app from the market and then restoring data?

Edit: Also try disabling unknown sources in the menu->applications and then go to the market. I've sometimes seen that setting confuse the market as to what my device is.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks. Mine was still set to WIFI. I didn't know to change that setting - never used it before.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
If you open the darkfire zip and replace all the files in there with the original ones from the ROM you will be good to go. You'll need to re-sign the zip in order for it to install from recovery. There's a thread with information on how to create the CWM updates for themes
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Well, I flashed Firebird 2 kernel last night to see if it offered any improvement over stock 3.5 FB...its not! GPS went back to "Searching for GPS" message mode, and slow, and location accuracy got worse (50 -60 feet off). Noticed no diff. in Batt. drain. So I'm either going back to stock FB or try another kernel (any suggestions??)

One question: In looking for an easier way to load .apk files, I found the Sideload Wonder Machine on another Android forum. Haven't used it yet, but would like to ask you gentlemen if you're familiar with it, and does it work - or is there a more useful method. Apologies if this is considered off-topic...just seeking knowledge.

Gratefully...Chuck
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
#1. Try this out. It works great IMO-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

#2. I just use Root explorer and drop them in the correct location. or you could just create an update script, sign it and place your apk in and flash it every time if you have nothing better to do:D

No I just flashed 3.5 and start using it without install any framework/twframework or 3rd party theme. This is the best Rom I ever use, and give me the best battery life ever. the only problem I have is the voicemail. I tried to use the Google Voice, and that doesn't work either. Any idea....!

I found that my gps was better with speedmod than it was with FB2 so I switched back to speedmod.

As far as installing apk. files, try downloading AppInstaller from the market. Then all you have to do is move the apk. to your SD card, launch AppInstaller and it installs the program. Very simple to use and works well for me.
