OK - I don't get it... Shouldn't two AT&T Captivates with the same ROM (Phoenix 3.5), same modem (upgraded to JL3), same kernel (Speedmod-O), same lagfixes applied, both IMEI starting with 3518604~ have ROUGHLY the same GPS performance in the SAME location? Not true unless there is a hardware issue...

With that config, I can run GPS Test and lock on 7-10 satellites and hers never locks and will maybe see two... My google maps works well indoors - hers can't find the location without cell assistance...

Her upload is ~8-10Mbs / ~5-6Mbs - similar to mine When I first saw the problem, I thought it was that the JK4 modem was used - I don't remember when I upgraded to JL3 but they are the same now. I checked GSM status using the secret codes in SGS tools and her phone is running WCDMA 850 Band 5 like mine - the stats are identical except the last line RSCP: (whatever that is...) Her phone was stock but I flashed via ODIN and did the master clear before going to Phoenix 3.5. I checked App and Supl/CP settings in LbsTestMode and they look the same...

Is GPS accuracy all art and no science???
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Welcome to Captivate! No 2 devices are alike(looks or performance). It is unfortunate but it can be a really good thing as well.
[Captivate Android Development] modum:
Thanks "Big Time" that worked. Now on to the next one...
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Good, that means it is something else....possibly could just be an issue with the app developer - google the issue to view how common it is..
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Well, I flashed the blackmarket.app using CWM, and IT WORKS!!

Looks better, and it should save on battery life. Whoever created this mod to the MARKET - THANKS!!
[Captivate Android Development] HDMitch:
Disable VooDoo

I wanted to flash the KP1 modem on my Phoenix 3.5 rom and no longer have a voodoo folder! I have disabled voodoo in the past so I am just wondering waz up?? :o

Oh yeah, you see any problems with the KP1 modem on Phoenix 3.5?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
3.5 came with speedmod kernel and its not voodoo based.so just flash its safe.
[Captivate Android Development] jpbadonk:
My synopsis after my first full day with 3.5.

Battery life is pretty good. Everything as flashed except I added the gingermix theme to fix VM then R64 theme for circle battery. Talked on the phone for about 1 hr, pandora for 2 hrs over wifi, some GPS testing w/ walking and driving, and the usual assortments of things that sync (email, calendar, fancy widget pro, stock widgets, weatherbug).

I tested the GPS head-to-head in my house against a new windows phone (LG) that I got my hands on. Neither seemed any more quick to acquire than the other. I took some video and will post if there's anything interesting to observe.

The dark semi-transparent notification menu makes pandora's status near unreadable (R64 theme?).
[Captivate Android Development] Joel1030:
Does VA v11 Theme works with Phoenix 3.0??????
[Captivate Android Development] Wwdcc:
Plus one with the receive call FC problem.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I believe you need to read the seedmod FAQ. It tells you when you need to turn things off.
[Captivate Android Development] deuceduzit:
Does anyone know how to get the lights on the home button when screen is pressed back? I noticed it in firefly. Wondering if its possible on phoenix. Thanks in advance everyone.
[Captivate Android Development] deuceduzit:
Anyone know which apk file is for keyboards? I like the original ginger keyboard.... Wondering if i can somehow rip it off another rom and throw it on this one.
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
i flashed the R64 theme and the naked blue swype keyboard metamorph theme and the words in the word choice box are in black text and are unreadable. i took the swype apk from a previous version of phoenix and used that instead. it doesnt really match the theme but at least i can read the words lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Agreken:
Has anyone tried both Firebird 2 and SpeedMod with 3.5? One better than the other? The d/l I get comes with SM, but I really liked the FB kernel. I'm sure I can flash over, but last time I tried that I brick'd it and it took me most of a day to get it back again :( Little skeered to do that again until I have some more experience...
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
With the sgs kernel flasher is easy enough to switch kernel just got to make sure you have disabed lagfix first in in recovery if you are switching to a different filesystem
[Captivate Android Development] nima352000:
how do i apply the lagfix? i dont see a voodoo folder in sd card . this is my 1st time using this Rom , i have used Darky and Axura rom and just flash to this Rom . it runs smooth so far but my quadrant score is very low comparing to other roms that i had . i was wondering how do i apply the lagfix ?
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
It depends on what kernel you have it's kind of simillar in all of them but it will help to know what kernel you are runing at the moment
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
You could check out the "keep the lights on" thread in the themes and apps section. It works great...keeps the bottom buttons lite up when ever the screen is on.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Phoenix 3.5? Go to recovery, under ulk options is lagfix, choose ext4, and if you want, change the /system partition also.
[Captivate Android Development] ardyer:
I tried because I liked the amped up haptic feedback of FB2, but I was getting terrible battery life so I switched back. But yea, as mentioned, just use the SGS Kernal Flasher that is included and the whole process takes about 5 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Weird, started seeing an FC when checking battery usage in settings.

maybe a result of speedmod O?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Wifi just stopped working in 3.5. It has been working fine until this morning. It keeps hanging when trying to obtain ip address from my routers.

I rebooted, tried airplane mode on and off and nothing worked. Data over phone works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
If your router offers the option to do a mac auth please try that.
[Captivate Android Development] meridianblade:
I really really really do not like this theme, especially the black keyboard.. How do I change the theme back to stock or at the very least something readable?

Thanks!

Edit:

Oh god, how do I get the original gmail app back too? the black is horrendous...

I'm on O, and mine works

too bad there is only Black Market for 2.2, and not 2.2.1

Guess I need to get a system set up to learn how to fix it
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is not the way to get answers out of me. I built this ROM to my specifications. I put it out for all to use. I don't do individual builds. If you can flash a ROM you can most certainly change a few apk's out.
[Captivate Android Development] meridianblade:
Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention. I love everything else about the rom so far, I just need to tweak it a bit :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Check out www.phoenix-hq.com Head on over to the add ons section and scroll down until you see the themes. Pick one, it will show a brief slideshow of what you can expect.

I hope this helps

Dude...you may want to chill a bit....there are pleny of themes other than the stock one if you are not pleased with it...but I suggest not attacking the developer if you want any help in here... go to here and try any of these themes....I'm sure there will be one to your liking ;)

What's up everyone?

I am back on Phoenix for a bit now. FireFly is doing good and I wanted to play with my first baby for a bit. is there anything I can do for anyone? Any suggestions for the next release?

Thanks for that. He has stated he meant no offense. I pointed him to the site also.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Good overall

Flashed 3.5 last night and tested various things till now. The ROM seems to do well. GPS, BT and call clarity all work very well. The best thing I love about this ROM is the choice of themes and dialers that it offers. Simply too good to resist.

I have a couple of comments to make here though:

1) Some apps seems to be restricted for this ROM on the market. I couldn't find Quick Office free on the market.

2) The ROM is not as snappy as I would have liked it to be. I'm running the stock speedmod kernel along with the Cozmic theme and I assume the ext4 lagfix has been applied by default on this ROM. I used Cognition for quite some time and feel Cognition was slight more snappy n smoother. It's just my subjective experience.

3) The Android unlock doesn't show the unlock slide area in the Cozmic theme, it just shows the unlock and Sound buttons. I guess this is a bug in the theme, that needs to be fixed.

Still love this ROM, due to the variety of add ons it offers :D
[Captivate Android Development] calsax:
Adam - I don't know what you could do to make this better. I am just loving it! I am sure you'll find something to improve - maybe make the GPS drive my car?

Thanks!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Hi Adam,

Since you ask on the Samsung Keypad is it possible to disable the sound when a key is press, I don't know if this can be change the application may not exposed that property but I just figured nothing wrong with asking. I guess I am not used to the swype keypad. My wife has an iPhone, which I think it was a mistake should have gone Android but the only thing I like about her phone is the keypad it is easy to type without making mistakes and I find the sansumg keypad the closest one to it.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
Adam

My assigning a pic in the lockscreen option isn't working and I see mention of it elsewhere. Has there been a fix for this in 3.5 or will there in the future?
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Yes. I see that working with only the Samsung lock option. Doesn't work for the other 3 :(

Just a reminder lol only thing I want is the asop lock screen themed. Would love if you could use the images from the va theme for the asop lock screen, looks awesome with your theme ;)

[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Adam,

Don't post much, but I frequent often and I've been through Cog, Perception, and now the latest iteration of your awesomeness that is Phoenix.

Love the rom. I'm big on a nice interface and the smooth, consistent transitions you included as well as the custom theming are very impressive and definitely to my liking.

One of my favorite changes is the notification drawer. Coming from Cog, Perception and Stock, I was used to the Samsung stuff and find I like your themed and AOSP stuff much better. One suggestion would be an option to change theming for the notification tray (if that's not impossible or incredibly difficult) as some programs (such as PlayerPro) use dark text for their notification tray stuff and it makes them quite difficult to read. Just a thought.

Much love for this project, excited to see what's to come. Thanks for the hard work :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Or better yet I could change the color of the font via the xml that way I can keep my awesome drop down. how does that sound?
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Modem kp1 or Jk4

Hi Guys,

I have try both modems but I don't see a lot of difference between them except better GPS with JK4. Are guys see the same thing.

screen capture?

Ive been using this 3.0 for a bit now and love it, thanks for all your hard work on this :).

I was just playing with my phone and accidently did a screen capture..!!!! can someone please tell me how to reproduce this. ive tried all kinds of stuff but can't figure out what I did to take a screen capture... i tried searching this thread and didnt see anything about it...

thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Do you have a screen shot program installed? Some of them only require you to shake your phone to take the pic.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Screen capture ? Try the 'Shoot me' app.
[Captivate Android Development] reakhavok:
No i havent installed anything that does screen captures. thats why i was so surprised when i did it. I thought it was something built into the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] deuceduzit:
Is it possible to have the home buttons light up when screen is pressed? I noticed it on ff1.5 and wondering if it is possible on this rom. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
did you install Super Manager by chance? I does lots of things and shake to screen shot is just one i didn't even realize it did until i looked at the settings.

i think Shootme is the best free option with shake to shoot
[Captivate Android Development] calsax:
No, that is one of the few pleasures I have left in life......
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
That sounds awesome. Is this something accessible one the phone with the ROM already flashed? I don't mind digging around with Root Explorer :-P

Either way, thanks for the response!
[Captivate Android Development] nmandi:
uconnect bluetooth

What would cause phonebook not to sync with uconnect on newer roms. currently running phoenix 3.5
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
No, you have to do it on your PC
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
So would you be able to build that into a zip to flash from recovery or would this have to come in a new revision?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I can most likely make it a zip but you guys are due for a new version.
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
Adam and all..

This ROM is awesome and I have been a loyal follower, beta tester and installer since 1.0 but now I am at a crossroads. The one issue I have that I would really like to take care of is GPS while driving. I thought I had a winner with UGJL2 modem and Phoenix 3.5 SM and it was working well - better than it ever has previously but for some reason I had bad battery drain so I switched over to firebird 2 kernel. Now the battery is perfect -- < 3% drain in an hour of light use. But the GPS while driving now stutters and jumps instead of being fluid. It still keeps me in good position when I am standing still and even when driving it jumps ahead but then fixes itself. But if I am going down the highway it just stops and then 10+ seconds later jumps to correct position. I am wondering if that could be caused by firebird 2 vs SpeedMod. I guess I don't know enough about the kernels to answer that but I would love some opinions.

My next steps are one of the following and I would love feedback.

1) Stay on Phoenix 3.5 and go to latest SpeedMod and see if GPS improves and maybe battery is better now too. I did learn the turn off samsung apps trick so that may be why battery is better now.

2) Jump to Firefly. I was ready to do this but I read Adam's post in the Firefly thread that GPS has degraded between 1.0 and 1.5 but he is working on it. Should I jump now or wait for 2.0?

3) Something else? I have tried different modems on Phoenix 3.5 with firebird 2 and UGJL2 is best for me. Maybe a different kernel? Not willing to go different ROM because I love Adam's work too much. So firefly is only other way I would stray.

3) Live with it. Hate to do it but love the phone except for this. The fact that this ROM could change my phone from good to amazing is great. Adam and gang thanks so much.

Input is welcome.

Thanks.

Steve
[Captivate Android Development] reakhavok:
I do have super manager installed and now i see the shake to shoot option.. funny i still can't reproduce it tho. im shaking it like crazy. I wasnt even moving it when i did it accidently. oh well, i'll keep messing with it and figure it out.. thanks

Awesome ROM!!

To everyone that has contributed to this ROM y'all are all awesome!! I have been trying different ROMS, mainly the ones by DG and I love all of them. Phoenix, Perception and Cognition have made my Captivate run like it's suppose to run. Much respect to you all! :)
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
As others mentioned, if we could get GPS to track ... that would really make this ROM superior.:)My GPS is fast to lock, but tracking is poor.

As it stands, great battery life, very stable and I am satisfied with the speed.

I did have the weird FC with the battery stats, but a reboot corrected it.
[Captivate Android Development] jpbadonk:
That's my only issue as well. A good app to test that against is Pandora. The text in the notifications is unreadable unless it is selected.
[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
3.0--3.5 camera FC....

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I went from 3.0 to 3.5, applied the speedmod-kernel-i897-k12o-500hz-CWM.zip, and have the same issue. No themes applied, but I did swap a few diff modems...landing back on jk4 which I think was bundled with 3.5. Planning to reflash back to 3.5 to see if issue goes away with the bundled kernel. Was hoping to avoid a complete reflash to stock, but if no other suggestions, will give that a shot if the reflash of 3.5 fails.

Other than the vid FC no other issues -- though I did not try the barcode scanner. Great work as always Adam and co.
[Captivate Android Development] jpbadonk:
1) I don't see it for free either, but had it in my TiB backup/restore.

2) I'm pretty sure I had to enable ext4 lagfix and it is not enabled by default. Reboot to CW and go through the options. I found all phoenix builds much faster than Cog 2.8b.
[Captivate Android Development] t-readyroc:
1. Search for the JH7_OTA.zip file & yank the QuickOffice.apk from it. Sideload that via SWM or Droid Explorer

2. ext4 lagfix isn't applied by default. lagfix options are available in recovery. Check out the SM kernel thread for more info on that.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Regarding 2, I just checked and enabled the lag fix and even converted my /system to ext4, but no major improvements. The ROM doesn't seem as snappy as Cog, the quadrant score is around 1400 on Pheonix, while it was 1600'ish on Cog 2.3b8. But still,no complaints as it isn't laggy and doesn't feel slow.
[Captivate Android Development] t-readyroc:
How about the ridiculous GPS performance that you say you've baked into FF? About the only thing I can think of...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Mine works fine and I just reloaded the same version/copy you all have this morning. Try the stock email.apk. That was the fix for it.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am working on bringing that over to Phoenix. I have it loaded on my device but I have to wait until the drive home to test it.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I have the same kernel that you are using and it would not effect it. The only thing that would effect this is if you backed up and restored system apps and data which would overwrite the email and camera apks. Are you restoring anything with TIBU? If yes what are you restoring?
[Captivate Android Development] nima352000:
Ulk section ?!

Edit : got it thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] SAHorowitz:
Adams PM me if you want me to test it. I am getting good at testing GPS and excited to try it.
[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
Thanks, but stock email.apk won't do for me. I forgot that I have been swapping in one that does not enforce the pin lockout. Definitely did not have the issue on Phoenix 1.5, can't recall if I checked vid camera on 3.0 or not.

This at least gives me something else to track down, whether I can find an alternate e-mail client that will work. No luck with TouchDown or Tab email in the past.

Thanks again for quick reply.
[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
Did not restore system apps only user apps, but have been swapping out email.apk with one that does not enforce pin lockout -- modified CM6 version if I recall. I'll check on alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I somehow lost my market...
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Hey soy did what I sent you work? You can grab the market apk from the themes thread, It is the black version though.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkeligos:
So I'm thinking of flashing my Captivate with Phoenix...what all problems should I be worried about and how is the battery life?

Also, what does everyone mean by "wiping battery stats"?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I'm sorry I never responded back...hasn't been a great weekend.. but yes, it did work! Thanks again.

I tried the market and it's still not there, I'm going to try again though,,, it may have been user headspace and timing issue
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You need to quit thinking so much and take the plunge. You won't be sorry!
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
No worries, I now the feeling. Not sure why it would not have worked.
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Market

I wonder why I need to be deleting the Market flash to show my apps. It looks like I have to do it couple times a day otherwise it only shows one or two apps.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Darkeligos:
I'm sure I won't be but I will NOT play this game of buying a resistor and such. :)

When I use Titanium to backup my files, should I include the items like:

"bluetoothtest 1.0", "call settings 1.0", "camera firmware", or other android/samsung applications?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Never back up any system data or apps. Only user apps
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
Ok, so I tried redownloading it again and that was a no-go. I tried to restore it from TiBu but I was a no-go there as well. Do I need to reflash 3.0 again?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
You backed up a system app Soy? No you know better lol just joking, yeah you might have to.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkeligos:
Alright thanks, what is "wiping battery stats"?
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I don't think it was on purpose though...who knows lol..Flashing to 3.5 or firefly would I need to go back to stock from 3.0?
