Ok I downloaded the tar file but when using neldars kernel flashing app, it says file is not a zimage and it doesn't work?
[Captivate Android Development] dsc522758:
I have been lurking here for around 3-4 months and have read a lot. I have 2 Captivates in my house. I am not flash happy...yet a least. Time does not permit! Phones history...

Stock...Too much bloatware...battery life very good.

Unleashbeast...Good ROM...battery life very good.

Cognition 2.3b6...Very good ROM...battery life poor

Perception 10.1...Very good ROM...battery life poor

Phoenix 2.2.1 ver.2.5 Revised...Very good ROM...battery life good

So far Phoenix has gotten me close to what I am looking for...that sweet spot! Good battery life and a good ROM! GPS is solid now. I never had really bad GPS issues like some but now its solid. To Adam, DG and others not mentioned...THANKS for all the time you put in to this for the community!

I am new to smart phones. Came from a Dumb phone to the Captivate. I never drank the Apple Kool Aid as I have been supporting corporate networks, PC's and Apple Macintosh for 15 years with Hewlett Packard and Apple has yet to get a penny of my money! I was not about to get an iPhone. Glad I held out! I'VE GOT A CAPTIVATE! My iPhone coworkers are jealous even though they won't say!

I feel like I am good at what I do. But these fine people here at XDAdevelopers are awesome! What a fine community to be lurking in. I am noob...at least with phone technology, and I look forward to the reading and learning more...as time permits.

Again...a big thanks to all who contribute here!

I just upgraded from phoenix 1 to 2.5 and for the most part its great. The only issue I have is the gallery seems very jumpy and doesn't have the smooth scrolling at all that 1.0 had, but I like the multitouch thing. Is there any way to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] AreikUSA:
Hey Adam did you change something in GPS? just flashed to 2.5 yesterday/Friday and can't get a lock for Sh*t and only get maybe 4 satellites.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You probably have to extract it from the zip since it is a .7z file and not .zip or .tar or just plain zimage
[Captivate Android Development] lgfarva83:
So i've yet to post anything in this forum. I do my best to read and search through everything before asking questions, to keep from having repetitive posts. I've been running 1.5 since Sunday and love it. Adam you're an animal. Big thanks to you and everyone else involved! I love this rom! Flashing 2.5 tonight! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You need a new secretary man...my dog can type better than that :p

But yeah, rename the one that is there by adding .bak and slide the other one in and see what happens. Magical translator = leave it in, still some alien language = try plan z
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I don't pair with a car, but with a headset and also a BT speakerphone and have had no problems at all.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Have you tried this yet man? I mean all my music and net. And apps. AND talk on it? I dont get the idea behind this. Let me know if you have tested it ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Also, as an update to my little GPS test yesterday where it would only lock when I was stopped and immediately lose it when I started to move... well, today I took a 35 minute trip at highway and rural road speeds (around 75mph) and it never lost a lock the entire trip.

So... who knows... besides, I usually know where I'm going so the gps really isn't on the top of my give a crap list. :)
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I noticed this too 2.0 gps seemed to be better ;)

Not that 2.5 isn't awesome
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I have files in my 4shared for gps enjoyment.....or testing.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
:p Or just "sane" ROM. Or maybe just ROM, since none of them actually require you to go back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] hypermann7:
Im on 2.5 and added the va_v11 theme but it wont let me change.the lock screen wallpaper?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Pretty much seems to be the way it goes..just when you think you cracked the captivate gps mystery, reality comes up and bites ya...it will work you just don't really know which time it won't
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Any of them magical smoke? Sprinkled with pixie dust?

No i forgot my wand :rolleyes:

BUT i did get rid of the wait time to download anything out of it :D
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I think i figured out the 98% thing kind of...

I left it plugged in for an hour after it said 98 percent and now its back to 100 and i can continually charge to 100 now

Re: jpa/jpy WiFi fix

Dl'd jpa and jpy WiFi fixes on advice from a helpful member to cure battery drain on my Cap's Phoenix 1.5 ROM. Problem is...being a nOObie, I have no clue how/where to install using USB and Win7 64 bit OS. Not real familiar with ClockWork, and how to use it either.

Would someone, please walk me through the procedure or point me to a How To link? Flashing to Phoenix 1.5 was my first phone mod, and I'm still chickensh!t on going any further (like 2.5r) until I have more experience.

Thanks...Chuck :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
See if anyone is in the irc chat that can give you a walk-through. Link is on the phoenix hq site
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
I was a noob once (...2 weeks ago...) but here's how you do it.

1. Download the zip file, place it on your sd card (do this by plugging in your phone or by downloading it from dropbox),

2. Reboot into recovery mode (either by clicking reboot into recovery, or shut down, press volume up+down, then power. While holding all three, wait until you see I897 pop up, then go away, then when it pops up again, let go of the power button while keeping the volume up+down button still pressed. That will get you to the clockwork screen which has a lot of text on it)

3. Click install zip file from SD

4. Navigate to where you put the file (using vol up and down, and using power as "enter")

5. Click on the file, let it install, then go back until you get to the reboot screen

6. DONE!

7. Hopefully that wasn't too complicated..

EDIT: or go to the irc (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Ph0enix&uio=MTE9NTE3a) and get someone experienced like newter to walk you through :) It's a painless procedure
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
For some reason astro is not letting me extract it?
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
I just d/load the file, then in clock work use install rom, find the zip on the sd card and it just works. I use the same method for roms, themes and other zips and so far no problems
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Any thoughts on what I sent you last night Adam?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Extract it on your computer with 7zip ( free download)
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
I wanted to follow up on this issue that I asked about earlier.

Animated GIF support seems to be "broken" in this ROM. The reason for the quotes is that it works, but only halfway. If you go to a website that has animated GIF images, it works, but then if you reload the page, or go to any other page that has GIF images, the animation does not work and shows the GIF images as static.

There is only one way to "kickstart" it. I installed Firefox Mobile, and all I have to do is open that, go to a website that has animated GIFs, then it sort of kickstarts the engine (?) that handles such animation. Works 100% of the time. It then works in Dolphin/HD.

Can anyone else confirm?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
last night was my first real word test of gps , since flashing 2.5

worked very well, took a long trip and it tracked quite well

the only problem i had was adjusting to goole maps 5, and forgetting to change from walking to driving lol.

other then that the only problem ive had with this rom is that the voice commands dont work in navigation, even if i try to install them from the market

anyone else having this problem or have a fix for it?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
ok I'll try that. Can't be done on phone? Btw newter you' ve been a huge help, thank you
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I "think" he really took a day off ;)
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
OK...that sounds rather simple. I don't use the 3-button method any longer with Phoenix 1.5 (Thanks again Adam!). I'll give it a shot. Also, have never done IRC webchat...Although I did visit once, but just watched the text, without a clue how to jump in...told you I was a nOOb!!

Thanks for the help, dan...Chuck

15% drain in 6 hours of idle is not good right? Since flashing setiron 1.4.7 1280 that's what I got. What is normal drain while sleeping?

just was wondering when the next update is going to be ...im currently at 1.5 and was gonna flash 2 of my captivates to 2.5 tonight but was just making sure there were no updates releasing in the next few days>?

Now i can't get the vm icon to go away. Also, I can't clear it from the drop down menu. Anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Did you try calling your VM and listening to the messages?
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Ok, looking for a brainiac here to check out a logcat for me. Background, random signal loss. I am currently using Phoenix 2.5 and it's had the best signal life for me so far, but this issue is common for myself and many others using Non-Captivate ROMs. Here's a seperate thread.

Would really appreciate any help with this. I would love to run Phoenix full time but I need steady service during the week for work, so I only have weekends to play with it. There is more background in that thread also, and attached is the logcat, from a fresh boot then lost service after a while and then turned airplane mode on then off and service came back.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
Really?? I'll check it out. It's gone from my notifications bar as soon as I delete my messages...dumb question, but are you sure you don't have any messages lol? I'll keep trying...
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
When you join the IRC next time, just start typing in the field at the bottom of the window and hit enter to send to the channel. :)

Simple.. ;p
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
No problem, and you have five you can use today so click away ;)
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
NM. It will clear if deleted. I was expecting it to clear once it was checked without needing to delete. Seems like that is the way it should work. Thanks.

Feedback

Been a lurker on XDA for a little bit; this is my virgin post. Just wanted to give a little feedback and thanks for the ROM. Going on my second day running it, and so far I love it. I'm new to the Android scene (got a Captivate at Xmas), and I've bounced around with different ROMs and setups, and so far Phoenix has been great: snappy, responsive. And (whether from Phoenix or otherwise) my battery life seems to be doing a bit better.

The only hitch I have is a single random shutdown last night. Went to bed with my alarm set and the battery at like 75%, woke up and the phone was off. Restarted it and it was at 55%-ish and has functioned fine since then. Not sure what woulda caused it (only installed a few apps since flashing). Oddly, since turning it back on this morning, it's only used 10% or so of the battery. So it burned more last night idle and shutting down than it has today through moderate use. Go figure.

Anyways, thanks again and keep up the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
OK! I installed the jpa WiFi fix per danrubi's instructions - actually that was too simple, using CWM, and it was successful, far as I can tell. Monitored battery drain for over an hour now, with WiFi, GPS and other apps running, and it seems to have improved. Dropped from 99% to 89% in just over that hour - which I think is an improvement. I will keep checking.

Thanks saurkrawt for the heads-up on IRC...will try it.

Question: Since jpa WiFi fix.zip was so simple to install, is this the same method for installing other .zips, i.e. Themes, and other Add-Ons? (so proud of my nOObie self :o)

Thanks again (he said while trying to keep an eye on the Saints vs Seahawks game...Go Saints!)
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
anyone? I took these when i got up (good to sleep in :D ) do they seem normal?
[Captivate Android Development] shiftystylee:
What is that thur app? Id like to compare...
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
Does gps stay on all the time? Meaning I got a lock and it stays locked even without GN or copilot running. I did flash the gps magic fix Adam posted for 2.0.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
It is that simple, IF it's CWM. Most themes, kernels, modems are CWM. Just make sure it is before you try to flash it

Go Hawks;) (not that I care that much)
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
OK how did he do this ?

I have not had any luck getting mine to look like it.

I tried but then all the other icons went to a dull gray like before..

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
mi04se1 or Adam can i get the magic gps zip its not on the thread any longer
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Thank you, kanji ...you are a master. My next attempt at greatness :rolleyes: will be theme change, although I'm not certain the themes on the Phoenix website will work with 1.5...can anyone clue me in?

Gratefully...Chuck
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Just from memory, but I think they will all work with 1.5. It'll say one way our the other, it'll say "1.5+". I really like Cozmic's. Just remember, I don't think there is a package to go back to stock. So if you flash a new theme, the only way back to stock is to re-flash
[Captivate Android Development] danrubi:
Ya that's the problem with the stock theme...I couldn't find the theme. But there are some other themes you can check out similar to stock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896339

P.S. Kangi, I didn't realize you were the OP of that thread :p
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Take a look at the link in the op of the themes thread, I think it's www.phoenix-hq.com

xtreme and dfuse have put some great themes together

Sorry for a dumb question, but where do i find the phoenix wallpaper? I was showing my 6 yearold some live wallpapers and can't find it. Thanks

OKay few tiny biny problems here

1. My GPS does a lock on but still 1000 meters away? what files to install and what to do ?

2. How can I change the color of the bubbles of the text messages ?

3. How can I change the background color of the gmail app its dark right now?

I'm using ADW launcher right now so if someone can tell me according to that please.

I'm using Samsung Captivate Phoenix 2.5 glitterball latest kernal

Hitting a score of 1770 on Quadrant thought i'd just let you know

This is the best ROM i have seen thus far
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
It's there by default, unfortunately, when you change you loose it. BUT, if you go here: www.phoenix-hq.com you can find/download it there.

Did adam says the release date of 3.0? Im in 2.0 right now and thinking of upgrading to 2.5 because i have a problem with transferring files to sd. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mobius911:
2-3% per hour is typical for me at idle, with email checking every half hour and wifi off.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Your best bet is to ask the kitchens maker. but what bat mod are you trying to use. Also please dont post that much info in a post. If that much info is needed put it in a text file and attach that to the post
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I just took a look at the kitchen and it is set up for use on a framework that is set for an HTC device and those frameworks dont work on the our device, they are set up different. Best bet is to find a theme that uses the battery you want and to do it yourself by hand.

Im having an issue after a reboot of the phone not reading my external sd card. Is there anyone else having this issue? Also im on version 2.5. And that is the only problem ive come across after 2 days of use. Love this rom :-)

Went back to delete it and it is gone, I assume you deleted it ?

Any links on how to do it myself, since nobody else can ?

Turn on airplane mode and log again. Looks like modem is switching alot to me.

For refrence. Mine will show constant 3%. Thats system panel logging.

[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
I tried contacting jlsesler since he has managed to do it.

It would be a great second choice for that theme.

I have not heard a reply back from him yet...

Here is my screen shot so far.

I am trying to find the mirrored letter icons, but no luck yet ?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Yeah that was me:D ok what you do is grab the framework-res.apk and unzip it and have a look and you will find what you seek
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
How do you unzip a apk file ?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Change the apk extension to .zip or .rar then use winrar to extract the content for example.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Says you will find what you seek. So let me know if money is in there.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Well changed it to zip.

But I see nothing inside that is related to battery ?
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Do you have Photoshop? You can edit the icons to have that effect.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Modem switching? How can you tell? I actually switched to the TLJL3 yesterday (had JK4). Im going to turn airplane mode on and see if thats it.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
GPS

Anyone else running 2.5 having a horrible experience with the GPS?

I'm on 2.5 / FB kernel / JK4 modem. And if I get lock, it's never under 2 minutes and accuracy is never less than 2000 m.

And when I'm fortunate to get a lock, it will lose lock seconds later. I hardly ever see over 3 sats.

Crazy.

Especially since on earlier Phoenix versions, I'd get lock in under 20 seconds with an accuracy of 10 - 20m. Even in my house. And up to 9 sats available.

Anyone have some guidance they can give me? (and I know the GPS units on Cappys aren't the greatest things in the world)

Thanks!

Fed
[Captivate Android Development] ph03nix42:
I've had great results with 2.5... GPS is amazing just as 1.0
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Everything but the GPS works great on Phoenix 2.5. Couldn't be a bad flash. Would reflashing make a difference? I can't see how.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
To modify the battery icon, here is what I did:

- find a theme what has the circle battery (i used R64).

- download 7zip if you dont already have it (not all unzip software works, but 7zip worked for me).

- open 2 7zip file manager windows (not windows explorer windows).

- in each window, open a theme's zip by double clicking (do not unzip them).

- in each window double click system-->framework-->framework-res.apk (again do not unzip it)-->res-->drawable-hpdi-v4

- select these files in the R64 window(stat_sys_battery_*.png, stat_sys_battery_charge_anim*.png, stat_sys_battery_unknown.png, ic_lock_idle_charging.png, ic_lock_idle_low_battery.png)

- drag and drop all the selected files (about 200+ total files) from R64 window into the cozmic window.

- close both windows. It will ask you to confirm that your apk file has been changed (click ok).

- reflash the file and voila!

Jason.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Guess not really what you would call modem switching. But searching for signal alot. I say that because its what mine does if i dont have the right modem. I use system panel alot to figure out whats going on.

[Captivate Android Development] rwj5279955:
My GPS was never great. However, it does pinpoint me with 2.5, and it never did that before. Even so, that only lasts a few seconds, then i start running around in circles and jumping about the city.

I'm gonna call in for warranty and demand a demand new build as per advice from the AT&T sales rep. See if I can make that happen and it will improve anything.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mojmojmoj:
oh ok! i guess i will upgrade now (",) Can i use Speedmod kernel for 2.5? if so, which one? The one for captivate or the one for i9000? I'm hesitant because my phone is a captivate with I9000 ROM(Phoenix). Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Download Handsent. Its a messaging app that lets you customize that kinda stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I'm not having any issues with GPS. It's spot on, and tracks really well too. If it were me, I'd try the JL3 modem, and if that didn't fix it; I'd re-flash the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
Here it is
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Battery icons in this theme are 22X38, you are trying to add a 38X38 icon. I had problems doing that by modifying the apk directly, seems it needs to modify the recompile of the framework manifest. I have managed to decompile it with apk manager, but haven't had any luck with the recompile
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
I gave JL3 a try. GPS would never lock on it. Went back to JK4 and it'd lock, but only after quite a while trying.

I'll re-flash and see what happens.

Thanks Kangi.
