[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I get why this was rushed out, but it looks like it probably should have been just released as a beta with a warning to expect bugs. One problem I see is most beta tester are just people itching to flash the new thing but who aren't really going to do anything resembling exhaustive testing. That's always the way that goes--it's to be expected with casual testers, but it's also why you have to know that the beta testing really isn't done until you get it into a lot more hands. That's why I say call it a public beta and tell people only flash if they are willing to accept and report bugs.

Personally, I've just decided to go to another ROM for the time being. All apps I've tested that use the camera (other than the posted fixed camera.apk) fail in one way or another. It looks promising, though and I'll still be following the thread (I followed it all through version 1.0, which I never used). The best ROMs I've used are Doc's and Assonance and it feels on par with those, speed-wise.

Things I don't like (this is not flaming, I'm just offering opinions):

Having to hand-load fixes after flashing (browser, camera).

Camera apps broken.

I'm just not that into the kernel's boot screen (looks kind of Sega Genesis, to me, but DG's Trans Am Firebird Logo would have been nice).

The status bar icons are a bit unattractive (purely subjective opinion; I'm sure other love them) and a bit inconsistent looking.

Thing I like:

I love the look of the status bar pull down and the toggle icons there.

The speed is great (though I prefer a reasonable 200 MHz OC).

GPS is great. I prefer the jl3 modem and use that, but I don't think there's a universal best modem for GPS.

The bugs I've seen so far are pretty minimal considering how fast this was put together. I'm sure it will all be ironed out quickly.
[Captivate Android Development] calsax:
Just a quick THANKS to the Phoenix team for a heat job! This is a totally awesome ROM, and I have zero issues since flashing last night. Tiny batch works fine, gps locks in seconds, life is good...

I am using the HTC Keyboard and Gingerbread keyboard w/o any issues; with Phoenix 2.5

The HTC KB has two apk files to install. The Gingerbread KB I flashed the zip using CWM.

Try these:

[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
The reason i like catalyst is because a catalyst is something that initiates or accelrates a chemical reaction without becoming affected itself. Kinda how this whole rom is. Its one whole big reaction that is moving along but the general idea is remaing the same. Lol thought it was cool.:D
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Can someone (Adam?) validate the above conversation regarding the ODIN step on a first-time-ever flash of custom ROM to a Captivate.

I have a build 1009, and am about to flash 3.0. I assume I can skip an ODIN FTS and go straight to either ROM Manager or CWM technique to flash the custom ROM (as noted in Warri's instructions to me, below):

[*] 1 Install Instructions

Place Phoenix_ROM_xx.zip On SDCARD

Open up ROM Manager and select Flash ROM from SdCARD

Alternitavitly You can flash right in Clockwork Mod

Just Selected Install ROM from SDCARD

then Choose ROM

then navigate to the Rom, and click Yes
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You will be good with the second set of steps as long as you are not coming from a non-voodoo ROM. If you are coming from a non voodoo ROM just diable lag fix and then flash away. Hope this helps
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Cool, Thanks! Since I am stock, no voodoo.

After I flash 3.0 I will be voodoo (and see that you have instructions on the OP for disabling it)

So when 3.5 comes out Friday ;) and I am in a reflash scenario, I believe then I would in fact use ODIN to FTS and then MC, right? You may say I won't need to, but there appears to be two different "camps" on that procedure. Do we know anything definitive and what I (and other newbies) should do on a reflash scenario?

thanks!

Email from 1.0

I'm loving all the Phoenix ROMs, but the email from anything other than 1.0 requires me to set a pin unlock when I add in my work email (Exchange 2010). How can I flash 3.0 and still use the 1.0 email, so I can avoid the pin unlock?

Still a newbie, but trying to learn and take it all in.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I'm sorry, but i just don't understand the difference between the upcoming (and unnamed) Rogers Rom and the current phoenix.

Anyone care to elaborate?

BTW, i'm pitching the name Chimera.

After all, like the phoenix, this is another legendary creature.
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
I'm really liking Campfire.. :D
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
That sounds like its an active sync policy set by your company. the new versions of Android just do a better job at supporting those "features" ;)
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
hmm....new name for the rogers rom....

How about MAGICAL!
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
the current is based on JPY, Android 2.2.1. The Rogers is more specific to the Captivate hardware, but is based on android 2.2

The reason we typically go with international ROMs is features in the firmware that ATT doesn't let us use.

I'm sure the "lil sis" version of Phoenix will be themed differently as well, and just have a different feel to it.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
If and when there is a 3.5....and Adam structures it same... and uses the same Lag Fix...you will be able to flash directly over unless otherwise specified. If otherwise specified, then it is recommended to FTS and all that jaz.

How about PussyGalore for the name like that lady from James Bond movie.

Perfect, thanks buddy. The HTC link doesn't have a working dl link, but i'll probably just roll with the GB keyboard for now :)

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
First off, my sincere thanks to Mac for the helpful PMs he sent me to answer my nOObie questions on his Cap 'stuff'. Thanks to him and many of you, I may soon graduate, and shed my nOObie status, which is a miracle in itself for an old dude like me.

Secondly, please explain (anyone?)

how/where

one installs .apk files to the phone. I can now doROM flashing, .zip files, themes and such but still clueless about .apk installation.

Gratefully, as always...Chuck (still holding on at Phoenix 1.5)

[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
just did a battery calibrate. I'm getting the 98% pop up when i unplug. Any Fix?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I use a program from the market called App Installer. That will install any app that is NOT a system app... quadrant advanced, blinky etc.... To do so, I just copy to my internal SD and use that program to find the file and launch it.

the email.apk and mms.apk are a little different, those are just dropped into your \system\app directory and Android will see those as system apps and use them accordingly.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
i like the name firefly

and adam you work way to fast man i'm thinkin to myself okay he just repleased 3.0 i've been on 2.5 and waiting and waiting and now you do the rogers thing I think i'm goin to put the basic on 3.0 and then when you release "lil sis" i will switch over to that

keep up the good work

lol

so wrong

but could make for some interesting wallpaper and icon collections

[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
As one of the previous posters asked, i'm also curious as to the answer...

What really is the difference between the stock Rogers rom available and the one you've already been putting out Adam? I mean... Not what's the difference as it is right now, i'm speaking 'BASE' wise... Are you expecting an increase in performance?

I'd like to imagine with how much time all you devs have put into doing these roms that the Rogers ROM will likely end up being slower than a lot of these other ones (Although I know Rogers has a tendency to keep the Rom's very barebone...)
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Hey adam, can't wait to download and flash, but is there any way that in the FAQ we can have an update guide? It seems to be a frequent question. I am running 2.5 and do i need to flash to stock with this update, or just flash on top?

BTW good job on Phoenix it is awesome
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
I like Firefly and Serenity. I agree with xtremekilla09 that we need to keep Phoenix in front of whatever name is selected so there is a physical link between the two.

Phoenix Firefly

Phoenix Serenity

Joe has a good point. Phoenix Rogers would be succinct.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Well, it is very "bare bone," not I9000 based so those issues with 2.2.1 or any I9000 do not exist anymore, it is quite snappy out of the gates, GPS works without any fixes thus far and there is more but I have to get back to work.:D
[Captivate Android Development] docflower:
i have searched to no avail. is there a flashable file for the wifi changes applied from 2.5-3? I am fully happy with 2.5 but any battery/wifi improvements would be great.

if anyone could point me in the right direction id be thankful.

Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
Ahhh right, I forgot the current non-issue issues of 2.2.1! Duh..

So secondary dumb question then... Why separate these roms? I think maybe another 'major' revision would be best and maybe go straight up to Phoenix 4?

As opposed to having two separate roms you'd be working on... Or maybe i just got the wrong impression?
[Captivate Android Development] alikp:
Stupid question...

On the themed swype keyboard (when it gets it wrong) i'm getting suggested words that are black on black (cant see them).. how do I change that?
[Captivate Android Development] unscrew:
My vote is for Firefly as well......

For the record........Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, and Adam Holden are my heroes. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] berean:
Since you have a 1009, I would strongly recommend that you avoid using Odin to flash to stock. It will probably cause you to lose your ability to enter download or recovery mode by using any button combos. If anything goes wrong in the flash you may not be able to boot it, which will then require you to buy a jig to get you into download mode. Here is a post that should help explain what you need to do to get it back to stock if you ever want to do that in the future. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10480942&postcount=3478.
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
Thanks for 3.0! Phoenix has afforded me to be able to use my GPS for the first time (I bought my Captivate in September). THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I just showed up around these parts for 2.5 and I'm stoked to see what is to come! +1 thanks :)

I just flashed 3.0 and noticed that the swype and gingerbread keyboards are missing a background texture so it looks all black with only the white letters/numbers showing. The samsung keyboard, however, shows up correctly. Perhaps I had a bad installation? Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing this? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
If ***** Galore is not chosen for the name, can I just add it as tag to the thread for the new ROM.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
I nandroided my captivate right out of the box.

Would restoring this along with a master reset be equivalent to flashing to stock with Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
We should call it, The firey, the MAGICAL, ***** GALORE!

WOOOO!!
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
This is because of your outlook policies from your IT department. There are ways to minimize the impact. I have the same setup as you, but don't use standard mail for my company email (outlook) I use a program called Touchdown. Therefore I only have to put in a pin when I want to look at company email and not everytime I want to use the phone. If you want more info or have other questions, feel free to private mail me.

Thanks.

Google Talk App?

I searched within this thread for an answer but couldn't find one...

I'm on version 1.5 of the ROM. Will update to 3.0 tonight. I'm not seeing the Talk app anywhere? Was it removed from the ROM? Other than that I'm really liking this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] jrstorm1007:
I agree its the Active Sync, but when I add my work email on 1.0 with manual setup, the option is Exchange. Anything other than 1.0 shows Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. I've flashed back to 1.0 many times for this reason alone.

EDIT: I just don't feel like paying for Touchdown right now, not if I can avoid it.

Hot to change Keyboard Background

Hi guys, I have installed the new 3.0 version, but I found the keyboard background is black that looks very ugly and would like to change to original how do I do that ?? any help is appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
I noticed the same thing. Perhaps reinstall the two affected keyboards? Can anyone verify this? TY
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Version 1.0 was based on Vibrant JK4, Android 2.2. Phoenix 1.5+ are based on I9000 JPY Android 2.2.1. The "features" are part of the Android OS. Keep an eye on what is going on right now with Adam working on a Rogers 2.2 version. This may be your grace to move up a few version numbers.
[Captivate Android Development] aksma:
I could do that, if I know where those apk files are. and try it.

I fixed my email issues by downloading Improved email fromt he market place.

It works great with my work exchange and integrates well with the phone.

hopefully Google will give more love to the email app in the future.

Voice mail

Can anyone confirm the VM notification works?
[Captivate Android Development] Kraze:
Same issue here. The actual keyboard is cool, but the box for words suggested needs to be changed. I can't see what half of my suggestions are.

I still love the rom though, just want that one little thing changed :D
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Yes, I can confirm this.
[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
I'm pretty sure it does not work as it is right now.. Once Adam launches the Rogers version it should work right out of the box I'd imagine!

... could be mistaken as poster below me says it works.
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
Worked for me! :)
[Captivate Android Development] The Balvenie:
i apologize if i misunderstand your issue. if you don't want your corp admins enforcing a lock policy when you connect to exchange use a different email client. if you go to sgs tools, choose to update the stock apps, select the email client from galaxy tab. this client keeps the policy from being enforced.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Have you had any luck with the Tab Email.apk? I've used it a few times and it never updates for me, or syncs my past emails. it will always hang and never finish the sync. Gives me a connection error.
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
How about enigma for the new name?
[Captivate Android Development] The Balvenie:
no i've always just used the sgs tools app that adam includes in the rom to get the email client from galaxy tab (whatever that is :P). i like the email client and it doesn't require me to enter a flippin pin number to unlock my phone just because i'm connecting to my corp exchange.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:

I just replaced it with the swype.apk from the first post (OP) and it's the regular steel blue background, similar to Phoenix 2.5.

Just copy it to your phone's internal SD card and open it in MyFiles or whatever you use and it will remove the all black background.

Swype

For those having issues seeing the text on the pop-up suggestions, I installed the attached swype theme via Metamorph and it has white on black lettering, with orange above... but the pop-up suggestions are readable. (screenshot attached)

It was the first time I used Metamorph (free from the market) and was based on an earlier post (back around page 349 or so)

Not sure if it can be installed through recovery as other themes are... someone with more knowledge on that would have to look at what's included and determine that.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Now I don't know what to do. I am toying with the Armani Captivate ROM and I like this one too. Now it is time to decide which one to go with. So far Rogers 2.2 the market would always FC and reboot the phone upon reinstalling. That was the only issue. So, I will check out the Armani ROM and see what I can do with that and if it has any apparent issues. Wish me luck!
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
The addiction is strong with this one......
