Personally, being selfish for just a minute here... I'd love to have the Miui music player added, just so I don' t have to install it after every upgrade. :)

In addition, if anyone can get the hacked 3G skype to work, wouldn't mind that in a future release either.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Hey Adam, How is the speed and battery life of phoenix compared to SN, so far SN has been the most fast and best battery sustaining ROM ive tried, but, i haven't tried phoenix and you seem to be putting alot into it lately so im thinking of switching. Will it be worth it?

BLN Removal

I found the post on how to remove BLN before flashing, can it be removed after flashing?? :o
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I honestly find it to be my best work yet in regards to usability, functionality, appearance and battery/stability. Thanks to Team Phoenix for their help to make this the best ROM possible.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Alrighty then, Flashing back to stock and master clearing so i can see for myself^^ should i just wait for the next release or go ahead and flash 7.0?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes, just open the ROM zip, go to system/etc and remove the bln.config file. Super simple, I just prefer to save myself and many others who utilize that functionality a decent amount of time in setting the lag fix, tweaks and bln by setting it upon first boot.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I would wait. I am going to load it up on a fresh install one last time in about 5 minutes and if all is good which I expect it to be I will upload it to the server and link the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
having used several non-Adam roms, as well as SN and fusion, my personal feeling is that the Phoenix line is the smoothest and most stable ROM out there currently. Battery life, gps, call quality, stability... all are above average to excellent. I'd recommend giving it a shot... you can always go back to SN if it doesn't make you smile... but it will. :)
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:

FireBird Kernel: NO OC/UV

SetiroN's 1.4.7: 1200 Mhz max OC w/UV includes headset fix

Glitterballs: 1200Mhz max I think, not too sure. OC/UV capable.

i got a question, can i odin to stock without removing sim and ext SD card? reason being I have an otter box and it's a PITA to get the battery out to get cards out. I know there's the reboot to download mode option when u press power button but have never tried it. and if so, do I turn odin on and connect usb with phone on then reboot to download? anyone ever try this?

Yes ive tried it and it works. Start Odin, get into DL mode, plug in cord, and BAMB your ready to go. teheh

[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
sorry for double post

Hey Adam,

did you happen to get with DG on the head set fix & External SD fix on the kernel?

if not here is a update that can be flashed in clockwork, only thing is it has firebird Kernel by DG instead of original. I pulled the kernel from his v.4 fix

I posted update zip here

[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
It's not recommended, but I've been guilty of doing complete restores and flashes without removing the sdcard or sim and haven't had a problem... yet. It's kind of one of those "you want to take the risk... go ahead" scenarios.

Can't speak to the reboot do download... never tried that myself.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
reboot do dl doesnt work for me for some reason. like the phone looks like its in dl mode but when i connect my pc doesnt see it. the method that always works it

power off the phone. hold volume up + down plug usb charger into pc then phone (while still holding both vol buttons)
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Time Saving Methods for Flashing

Since there was a discussion as to how long it takes to flash, and a few time-saving steps, I was just curious as to how some of you chronic flashers :) set your phones up to make the re-setup easier.

Personally I have all my contacts in google so there's not much to do there (other than linking a few to facebook), use TIBU for backing up/restoring apps, and SMS Backup for text messages.

However, the time to setup the screens can be quite a pain in the butt. I'm currently using ADW but it fails on doing any kind of backup.

So, just looking for any additional time savers at any point in the process...

Thanks all.
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
adam ? As far as the puzzle lock screen. Will that include the music widget, that was a great feature
[Captivate Android Development] hybernator:
do you master clear too? that's my biggest concern, will the mighty god odin just say, 'hey, more memory I can obliterate' and wipe that out too or does that not get affected? external SD is damn near empty, pulled everything off it recently cuz it's been through a few phones and was cluttered with files and folders that didn't do a damn thing anymore and just never got around to putting things back on...flashing too much to reload the card lol

Question for Team Phoenix

Gulped deeply and flashed to Phoenix 1.0 on New Year's Eve. Better battery life than stock. Battery life hit its' stride with Phoenix 4.5. With Wi-Fi off, Samsung apps set to off, sync set to off, background updates set to off (at night) my Captivate at Idle discharged at a rate of .8% per hour, overnight. Went from Phoenix 4.5 to FireFly, then Phoenix 5.2. FireFly and PR5.2 is where my battery idle life peaked at .6% per hour discharge at idle. SuperNova was more of the same.

I tried Phoenix 6.0 and battery discharge rate at Idle, went up quickly and dramatically. It was averaging +3% per hour or worse. Flashed back to Super Nova, which was now up to v. 2.3 and got the same results.

Decided I must have done something wrong and did a Flash to Stock and a Master Clear and re-installed SN 2.3.

No joy.

Another Flash to Stock, wipe all the caches and stats and whatnots and installed Phoenix 7.0 and got the same discharge rate of +3% per hour. Looking at the battery stats more closely, I notice something called "Cell Standby" and "Phone Idle". Usually all I would ever see is "Display". It appears that if the Cell Standby reading was gone, my battery usage would be back to .6% per hour discharge at idle.

Going along for over a month and a half with .6% - .8% per hour and jumping to an average 3.2% per hour for the last 10 days, causes me to wonder what phone setting I might have screwed up.

Was I getting misleading measurements before and now I am getting accurate (albeit, abysmal!) readings?

(For example, wasn't counting Cell Standby and now it is.)

Except for this Cell Standby thing, the Captivate is behaving perfectly well. Allowing my Grandson to play Angry Birds seems to suck the battery down as fast as it did before and using the GPS a lot causes about the same battery rate drop I am used to.

I have always used the overnight phone-at-idle to get an idea of what's going on inside the phone, since that is the only long-term and consistent measurement not based on subjective impressions. One more thing I've done recently, is to swap my Go Weather widget with the MIUI weather widget, because I was theorizing that the Go Widget was waking up and phoning home against my will (or knowledge) but apparently that is not the problem, since I'm still averaging 3.2% per hour discharge at idle.

Thoughts?

(Standing by, hoping someone has an "AHAH!!" Moment.)

That is your call completely. Your ROM is your choice and yours alone. I am not here to get as many users as possible as that does not benefit me in the least bit.

Every time i flash a kernel i loose like 5% battery life, dont ask me why it happens and i feel then need to redo my battery stats every time because of it, thats why it is easier, not just for the sake of flashing a kernel.

but if everyone requested this or that kernel adam would have his hands full. your battery takes 3-4 charges to stabilize anyways

Thanks, I know how to do it, Every rom i use i flash Sp and i have them on my pc already but i loose like 5% battery everytime i flash a kernel and i always feel like it throws off my battery stats.

No need to redo battery stats. Just start at 100%

my 0.02

I was running Phoenix to 4.5 then I went to SN through 2.3

I beta'd Ph6.0 and am using 7.0 now

for the little useless data it provides, While running SN w/ SP kernels I was able to go stable at an OC to 1.4Ghz and often had Quads over 2000

BUT

Phoenix 6 & 7 at lower clocks (w/ SP#56) is smoother, slicker, smarter, and snazzier

not only can I not wait for Ph7.3, but I know when Adam eventually moves his sights back to SuperNova we will all need to wear welding masks to look directly at it

A BIG difference is the integration of fugu tweaks

even if you dont try Phoenix and stick with your current SN for now....you should look into seeing if the fugu tweaks patch can be applied to your phone

fugu is a fundamental rebirth of the ui function imho
