Further to Kangi26's (and Adam's slightly later) great response to the mac question.. I provide you a link for reading if you're on a mac!

Also - Adam it may be worth to maybe take a look at leaving this link on the op for mac users to take a peak at.

i flashed the rom twice the right way but after i flash i keep losing signal and staying disconnected from the network. When i flash back to stock i have signal.

I flashed the rom without a full battery, does that create the problem??
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I was just looking for the link. You beat me to it!:)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Are you flashing with your usb plugged in? If so don't and watch what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] marten.broadcloak:
I didn't do the update as of yet (waiting to flash to 2.5, still on 2.0), but as soon as I turned off the "HEY THERE'S A WIRELESS NETWORK AROUND!" option, my battery life went through the roof.

Charging it up to full now to get an accurate reading....

Wifi Firmware Change

(Only turning screen on to check battery status with data running in the background)

Before flashing the new firmware I was losing about 3% in 10min.

After flashing this firmware:

4:07 - 82%

4:14 - 82%

4:20 - 82%

4:25 - 82%

Haven't even dropped 1% in almost 20 min!

Will report back later with more substantial numbers.

FYI, I just downloaded the update-wifi-dxjpa.zip and flashed it via Clockwork.

Pheonix 2.5 revised
[Captivate Android Development] evil_trolloc:
touche! for an equally needless reply =)

now for something semi-useful:

* That Logsprovider.apk does NOT eliminate SMS from the call log. I noticed no change after reboot.. I dropped it into /system/app and for the hell of it, data/system

would be nice to eliminate the SMS from the log, like Eclair was.

Thanks for the link to Heimdall. No idea it existed. I took a break from XDA so I just saw that post now. But while I took a break, I PORTED Odin to my mac. Its running nicely. I am going to see if I can flash back to stock with it though.

Ok I downloaded the 2.5 zip from the website with astro. when I view the file it says phoenix rising 2.0. its this 2.5? Yes I dl'd from the correct link.
[Captivate Android Development] yongcho93:
yea ive been flashing with my usb in. ill try tomorrow with usb out and full battery n see what happens. I thought at first it was just with this rom but i tried to flash perception 10.1 and the same thing happened so its definately the usb or the battery
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've flashed with the cable in a few times myself, and some really wierd things can happen :(
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The most recent link is for 2.5. Just open the zip, navigate to system/build.prop and read the version number.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I can guarantee it is bc you are flashing with the usb in. That is why I asked that first off. It is known with 2.2.1 based ROMS that you can not flash or reboot your phone with the cable in.
[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
Best to update the 'how' to flash Phoenix portion of the op with this info, I did not read that anywhere.. But I know that some of the info in the op is PRE 2.2.1 :p.
[Captivate Android Development] evil_trolloc:
For anyone who doesn't know:

You can still slide the cover lock up when your back cover is off your captivate.. this makes sure your battery can't fall out while operating with no cover.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
A update on going from 2.0FB-2.5FB update.

Everything seemed to be ok at first, but I am beginning to see some wierd stuff. One of the bigger issues is, my email connections can be flaky and not download sometimes. My Hotmail will sometimes show no connection, or error out, Comcast sometimes does nothing. It will happen on cell service and WiFi. Web/XDA/SpeedTest connection appears to be just fine.

I think I'm just going to JF6, MC and to a clean install of 2.5 revised

FAQ updated with Remove USB
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
This is where I (my newbie-ness) get confused... My phone reports build "ECLAIR.UCJH7". Not sure how that maps to "1007" or "1008".

I do know that I had to root to install ROM Manager (which in turn gets you where you can Flash CWM). I also know that my manipulating vol +/- and power, I can get to a menu.

So I have already flashed CWM, and (thanks to help from people here), was told that I needed to cycle through 'reinstall packages' twice when choosing ROM Manager's "Backup current ROM"... by cycling twice, I got to a new menu I had never seen before (the one that has wipe as an option, whats this menu's proper name?).

I know that flashing CWM positions an update.zip in the root dir, and looking now, it is no longer there. Should I re-run the flash CWM, and then grab a copy of the update.zip and copy it off to my secondary external SD? To use in the exercise described in the above post?

Secondary question: Using Root Explorer, it appears that /sdcard/sd might be the mapped path to my secondary external SD card. Is that accurate?

thanks!!! I know its a drag, these noob questions, but I know in this thread I am in good company. I appreciate any and all answers.
[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
Have you read the 'How to Flash Phoenix' section in the Op (first page) by any chance? It was posted by Zel.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
For my noob understanding:

FTS and MC: you run Odin to do this. I would download this on my PC, and I could run the same?

Copy entire directory: the /sdcard directory? Also, this folder represents the internal SD right? (and /sdcard/sd represents external SD if present)

Last part of your comment: Is this right? You then reinstall ROM, so you can then install/flash CWM, restore TiBu (how is is this done?)...

When you you backup your APKs, you mean what? Copying all the contents from (fill in the blank) folders on internal SD... APKs live in multiple locations? /data/app/, /data/dalvik-cache/

Hardcore's Wifi Firmware results

Here's 1 hours worth:

4:07 - 82%

4:14 - 82%

4:20 - 82%

4:25 - 82%

4:31 - 81%

4:35 - 81%

4:40 - 81%

4:45 - 80%

4:50 - 80%

4:58 - 80%

5:00 - 80%

5:07 - 79%

I think it's pretty clear that going from 3% drain in 10min to 3% drain in 60min is quite a jump in battery life :)

Stoked so far and hope that Adam decides to include the firmware in his next release... or at least test it and give us some good feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
There is no way it is a firmware. That has to be a typo/misconception. If you flashed a firmware the device would most likely brick. You are all using 2.2.1 jpy firmware. That fix is most likely a set of files. Just wanted to clear that up;) I will look into them, most likely include them in the next build and credit the appropriate sources.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Please update with your findings. I may have to look into another alternative email apk. I have tried so many but I sure I can find another one.

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Small bug. If you flash or reboot your device with the USB in you will not get cellular signal once it boots up.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I was trying to get as "clean" of an install as possible. I've heard there have been some issues with flashing with the usb connected. So that is one of those things I try not to do, same as taking out SD, and SIM. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid.
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
It seems that flashing with the USB connected, weird things happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Only weird thing that happens is you will not have signal. A reboot fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
It "can". Maybe not guaranteed, but it is possible
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
Well the thing is I am sorta really beginner at it. Any software you recommend?

Sorry... fair question for sure. I have not, yet.. I did earlier, but then transitioned between 1) keeping up in this thread and its 50 page posting count, and 2) tackling my side issues to get me properly setup for flashing and recovery should things go bad. Hence the questions. Sorry.

Does anyone have a theme that changes the settings menus only to something with more contrast. I love this rom but I own a construction company and have to spend alot of time outside and the light grey writing on the grey checkerboard background is very hard for me to see.

No disrespect towards all the hard work that went into these menus, just need something to help my eyesight.

Zip compressed?

Is there a reason that the 2.5 zip is smaller than previous releases. This occurred with the first posting of a previous release (155 MB vs 167 MB) and turned out to be compression that gave some installation troubles. Just curious. Downloading anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] ICULQQKn:
For me, VM notification did not work on either 2.0 or 2.5. After flashing to 2.5 and finding this out again, I changed to GingerMix v4 theme and VM notification worked immediately. Hope that helps.

It seems like it's the theme - i couldn't get VM notification on stock, or on Cozmic, but gingermix works (go to phoenix website and download it)

I believe the JPY is the original settings for 2.2.1 (some experience battery drain), and the JPA is the older settings (less battery drain). So you can try the old settings and if you don't have improved results you can switch back.

Email issues

I just FTS, M/C and installed 2.5 Revised WITHOUT the USB connected.......

I just reinstalled all my apps, and the email sync issue I was having has now gone away, email seems to sync fine. I tested it on the initial setup on Wifi, and a test email to a Hotmail and Comcast accounts, and then again over cell service to the same 2 accounts.

All is good

I use Zeam and I really like it. You can change the number of icon in the tray so I have email, gmail, web, phone, camera, and apps. It also has the option of compressing widgets (have a 4X2 widget take only 3X2 spots), although I haven't played with it too much.

ok. so i love this new rom, but couple things, idk if its the adw or what, but the apps are a bit screwy when trying to go into them, messaging opens my files. trying to call someone from the texting app dials random numbers. i did see a fix for this, but the silent button on the notification bar is blue. some texts dont come in nor go out. i am on the speed mod kernal.

Update

I tried something else with the GPS that seems to work well with the initial lock. I will test it out on the road tomorrow. I used a combo of the Jupiter06 files, Magic_GPS_fix and the epic fix. Initial lock in the middle of my house in 8 seconds on a fresh install of 2.5 revised. That is the best I have ever gotten in that location of my house. I will update you all once tomorrow. That is it. I am off to bed now.

Goodnight all

[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
It could be your kernel causing some issues for you
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I have not tested that kernel but boy is that messed up! I would try a different kerned and if that does not help I can guarantee you had a bad flash. I have it on mine and my wife's phone and it is awesome!!
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Themes are actually not likely candidates for problems with a flash. The themes sit mostly in the system folder, sometimes in the data, both of which get formatted first thing before installing a new rom. The place were you can brick (and usually just soft brick) a phone is when you themed a rom and then apply a patch that changes just a small part of the system (for example the background color fix for the menus).
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I've worked with many base themes that have both of them. Only hdpi-4 is used and I am not sure why the other one is there. Since framework files can be very sensitive to changes, I usually just leave the one that isn't used in. I've had too many soft bricks from missing files in the framework. I know some themes start with just the hdpi folder, so there is some way to get rid of it. I'll try to look into it some more and maybe find a way to clean it up
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The only time a theme will botch an install is when it goes against the androidpolicy.jar. Mine is set to allow the lock screen mod and if the theme is built for a standard androidpolicy.jar it will go into a boot loop attack. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You can not remove them. It will cause boot loops.

One bug for me in 2.5 was when pushing the search button, I got a fc. I put the .apk that Adam posted in 2.0 and it fixed it.

For anyone that wants a circular battery icon but doesnt want to flash a theme, put this .apk in data/apps. Once installed, go into your apps and click on the app.

Someone mentioned the bad pic quality from the camera, heres a pic I took tonight

Finally, Iwas having some issues with Comcast email since 2.0. I had no problem connecting to their server, but the mail wouldnt delete. I installed xfinity app from the market to fix the issue.

I have had this problem. I think it stems from restoring apps with data using TiBu. Make sure to only restore apps without data.

Here is how I fixed this problem on mine: I deleted the "android_secure" folder on my external_sd card, and reflashed the rom. You may be able to get by without reflashing, I don't know.

I found that I could restore some apps with data with no problems, such as Timerific and LauncherPro.

I hope this helps.
