Completely off topic... I've been away for a week as I learned last Monday that my daughter (9 in about a week) has a form of bone cancer. Our spirits are up and we can only hope for the best.

We have a caring bridge site for her...and the one thing that always makes her smile is her hit count going up. So as a favor, and knowing what a great group this is, I'm asking that you just open her site when you can to record a hit.

Now, to make me smile I must go download 4.5 :)

Thanks all!

I flashed 4.5 tonight. Did the whole stock/master clear thing first. I don't seem to be able to install anything from the market. It goes to downloading then never installs. I tried searching around the forums but I don't see this issue. Any ideas? I'm going to try reflashing.
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Alright someone help me out. I have the updated host file but when I try to push it to /system/etc/ I get a "failed to copy" Read-only file system.

Anybody have some ideas. I've tried to pushing the hosts file to the sdcard and then using adb shell as root and copying the hosts file over the one in /etc/. However, then I get file already exists. If I try to remove /etc/hosts, even as superuser, it says the system is readonly.

Anybody have some suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
My whole market routine after a flash is to restore the android ID, then clearing the cache of the market and downloader. Haven't really ever had a problem with the market when I do those three things.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I did not change id, but went and cleared data and things worked for me. I started with the same problem too. Things appear to be good now.

[Captivate Android Development] ccdoggy:
you need to use a file explorer that allows for changing the file system to read/write (i use root explorer). you could do it from within CWM, but not suggested to keep that option on.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Actually the market was having problems tonight. I checked out there problem site and they were trying to fix it. Seems to be fixed now I was finally able to download and instal some stuff.

I think it bears repeating that it got quiet cuz you guys plugged all the loud holes better than most.

Though yes, quiet can be a sign of less dev, but I dont think you have that problem Adam.

Phoenix 4.5 dialer...

Thanks again Adam for the great work. I really like the UI tweaks you have made in this one.

For anyone who prefers the default dialer in 4.5 over one of the themed ones I've put together a zip file which you can install through recovery after installing the theme of your choice and get the stock dialer back. I prefer the cozmic 76 theme but not its dialer and this zip file worked for me.

Here it is -

Just flashed 4.5 without going back to stock. Read earlier how Kizz did it and it went great.

No issues at all. I havent run across any problems yet. I disabled lagfix first, and wiped cache partition as well as dalvick cache.

:confused:

10PM - Fullly charged, did an O1C to stock last night and master clear and reset everything. Left everything stock but made a few settings tweaks (turn on haptic and vibrate on ring, debugging mode(not lag fix yet as the wife was nagging me to come to bed ;) )).

Woke up this morning to phone powered off! :eek:

Turned it on to 0% battery... Hopefully it's just my good luck, but, how is everyone else doing? On 4.1 I would have easily had ~85%...

Of course other than this so far it's been awesome, nice work again Adam.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Battery life always sucks with the first boot. Seems to be that way with every ROM. Subsequent boots are much better with the battery life.

I'm debating on whether or not to leave FF for Phoenix. FF has been perfect for me and its a pain setting everything back up again. I don't even know the differences between the two ROMs to be honest.
[Captivate Android Development] keller.jeff:
in a nutshell, FF is a 2.2 version, and Phx is 2.2.1.

Hey I have two for you Adam since you asked.

-the alarm clock notification looks mushed and for some of us this is our alarm clock and as you can tell most of us are ocd. It's like this on firefly too which is why I didn't stay.

-and I don't know if this is a fluke of nature, but my wifi shut off over night. I don't have a crazy data plan so I rely on wifi.

Other than that, very pleased.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The alarm clock is "mushed" bc I put an easier to read batter in both FF and Phoenix for my older crowd. In regards to the wifi shutting off, please monitor that and advise me if it happens again. I haven't yet experienced that issue and neither have my testers but I do want to address it if it becomes a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
OK

Got up this morning and looked the the phone..It said 100%

Looked at the phone about half hour later, no use. Still said 100%

Looked at it 1/1/2 hours later, it is down to 98%

The only thing I have done is installed the fire kernel (and the v2.2 fix) and the juice defender.

Will check later today and see just how slowly it goes down ?
[Captivate Android Development] byrdtulsa:
you have to have the tw launcher not the ginger bread launcher just go to sgs tools and download the tw launcher and it works great any questions let me know..
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I highly recommend the Alarm Clock Plus app from the market. It is FAR superior to any alarm clock I've used and they have a free version. You can even set it so that the alarm won't let you snooze or turn it off until you answer a math problem to make sure you wake up. I use it every day when I have something important because I tend to sleep through everything but the annoying noise plus the math makes me wake up and I haven't noticed anything "mushed" in it.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
That explains why after installing/uninstalling it three times. It won't show up on Launcher Pro.

Too bad.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I had a similar instance late last night, but mine was specifically with Go Launcher.

Samsung Apps didn't show up and Speedtest from the	Market also not showing up.

Went into TiBu to launch both and all of a sudden I could see them.
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
On 4.1, my battery did show 100%, or F when I unplugged. But in 4.5, as soon as I unplug, it shows 98%. It's not that big of a deal, but is anyone else seeing this?

Otherwise, loving the ROM. Great work again Adam, as usual.

Speeds are slower why, I installed 4.5 (AMAY-ZING!) I Ran Quadrant Standard and fell from Above the Nexus 1 (w/ Phoenix 4.1 kernel to mid list. Any idea why the big difference. I was running Kernel k12t-t1 w/4.1! BTW i closed all running programs.

Just getting nitpicky, but in the pull down notification window in 4.5, "Bluetooth" doesn't fit on one line, and the "R" is not capitalized on "Auto rotation"

As someone else mentioned, the clock icon is squishy looking, but I'll take that if it let's me see the battery icon better.

[Captivate Android Development] redeuxx:
Anyone have the original Market? The Market in 4.5 is a bit hard to read.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Charles Brennan:
Yup. Been getting that on all versions of Phoenix and all versions of FireFly.

When the "Battery Full" indicator comes on at the left of the notification bar, I unplug my charger and wait for nearly a minute, at which time it drops to some number (97%, 98%, etc). Then I plug the charger in again, until I get the "Battery Full" indication. I unplug the charger and it will typically say 98% or 99% etc. Then I plug it in again, and when it says Battery Full and STAYS at 100%, I leave it alone.

BTW, I love reading about everybody raving about their battery life without providing a SINGLE NUMBER to substantiate it! :)

The Name of the Game is Control.

You almost need a miniature energy management system for these gadgets.

If I drop the brightness, turn off Wi-Fi, BlueTooth, GPS, background synch and Samsung calling home to the Mother ship, I average from .5% to .8% per hour discharge on the various ROM versions. (Firebird was the .5% but I had numerous modem issues) On SpeedMod I average a little more discharge rate, but have marvelous GPS and two-way speech over the cell phone. 4.1 and 4.5 have both averaged slightly better than .6% per hour discharge at idle.

When I first got my Samsung last July and knew nothing about it, the battery life was indeed abysmal, but I didn't know how to tweak and minimize the current consumption, back then, either. As an experiment, I flashed back to stock (Amazing! To think I used to think this thing was COOL like this!!) :o and set the energy use parameters in the way that I now take for granted. I averaged 2.5% per hour (not even close to Samsung's laughable :rolleyes: stated battery life of 576 hours in standby) at idle discharge and even THAT was approximately half the discharge rate of a Captivate right out of the box.

So stuff along the lines of: "Wi-Fi-ing the bejesus out of it for 6 hours and only down to 30%!!" :D is fairly meaningless without knowing the context of what energy usage is involved at the time.

Not VOLUNTEERING to do this, mind you, but we probably need to take precise current measurements of battery draw with each of the various functions of the phone, singly and in combination to have a more accurate picture of to what extent we are getting battery life improvements. I am no longer concerned, since the battery life on 4.5 now matches my previous dumb-as-a-brick candy-bar Nokia phone, so I can now re-charge at the intervals to which I was accustomed, for so many years.

Thanks to XDA and all the people who helped Adam out!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
One cool tool everyone may or may not know about is the battery drain tool in the task manager that is installed by default in both of my ROMs. There is a tool that will show you the minute by minute battery percentage drop, or rise if you are charging. Unfortunately it will not show what you are using/doing but if you keep an accurate log even for one day we could get some very good results and have something substantive to work with to further the battery life of all ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
I knew about the known issue, but as stated, in 4.1 it was showing full when I unplugged, that's the only reason I asked. Like I said, not a big deal, just curious.

I see that another person posted that bump charging a few times in a row got them to 100% unplugged, and perhaps I did that on 4.1. Trying it now on 4.5 and will update if I ever get it to show 100% unplugged.

Just a note about batteries: I ordered and rec'd 2 of those China-made Li-Ion 1800mAh batteries from E-Bay, $10 each - got 'em in 7 days, and they are the real deal. Been using them for the past week...battery drain is much slower than my Samsung unit, charging on a Samsung flip charger I also got from E-Bay.

Drain from 100% to 85% is fairly normal, but after that, drain slows down to less than 5% per hour with WiFi, GPS, and 50% brightness on. Overnight, in stand-by, only drained to 75%. IMO...that's awesome for a 10 buck battery...just saying...no commercial intended...no marketing ploy. I'm a NYC Italian...no China connections :)

I agree with Chuck's comments on the batteries he ordered from China. I ordered 2 batteries from China as well. They are stamped with i9000. Same specs as the battery that came with my Cappy - but, as Chuck stated, they last noticeably longer.

No marketing ploy, commercial endorsements or Chinese connection here either. Well worth the $10 bucks.

I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue, I've had it since 4.0.3., and it's continued in 4.1 and 4.5.

Basically, every time I reboot the clock app (clockpackage.apk) disappears from the App Drawer. At first I thought it was the Gen X theme I was running, but I'm no longer running that theme.

I can make the app reappear in the App Drawer by going to the apk in root explorer and renaming it, but it will disappear again on the next reboot. The alarms will still work if its not in the app drawer.
