The fix is not by any means volatile.Meaning it is very safe;) no need to upgrade to 1.5 either, though I see no reason not to.
[Captivate Android Development] ntdb:
Did you use DG's Odin or C3P0's Odin? C3P0 includes DG's 3-button fix in his Odin downloads while DG does not.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Is there a setting in TiBu to back up things like browser bookmarks and saved passwords that would not cause harm to a new flash? I hate having to redo them every time I flash.
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
I was referring to TiBu. Thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
It affects download mode. If you lost the button combo for one, you lost it for the other, but you can still get to download mode via the menu or adb reboot download. You don't need download mode to flash though. Just put your ROM on the sdcard and flash from recovery (and stop using the one-click flasher).
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
I flashed it, with no success. Coudn't get a lock.

Then I used the Vibrant GPS Fix files, here.

Now my GPS rocks. Didn't have a GPS this good since JI6.
[Captivate Android Development] Boobie Watcher:
is it a known issue that when you charge to 100% and the notification says unplug charger that your battery is only 98%........ive tried a million times to get it to 100....bump charge and what not....just wondering thanks?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes, known issue
[Captivate Android Development] Boobie Watcher:
there has to be some way to work around that....my ocd hates it lol.....ROM is awesome though.
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
I used Odin3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

And I've flashed multiple times too, but mainly only Ax*ra and Phoenix...

I've never had this problem until now...

It's not a big deal, i can enter recovery as other have said - from the ROM's power button...

I'm just concerned that it might affect it down the road...

[Resolved the issue with a reflash].

Now works fine...

Quick update on battery

It has been 9 hours and 30 minutes since I unplugged my device. My battery is now at 84%. It was a pretty busy today, so I used my phone a few times heavily, but I have never seen my phone like this on standby w/ wifi on. All this after I read earlier that turning auto rotation off will help your battery. That's what I did and viola! - Amazing battery life.

Either my phone is lying to me or something magical is going on (or its just that Adam is a genius)

Big props to Adam, I salute you.

Here is the link to donate to Adam - Donate

Sorry Adam, I can't donate until I get paid, and in the land of freelance web designers, its very rare.

This always works for me *Flashing to new ROM*

I've been reading some posts on bugs and issues on flashing. This is nothing new but this is what I do. This proceedure was from a post DG put up in some forum..

Firmware

password: samsung-firmwares.com

http://www.multiupload.com/B5OFPPOJFZ

512 PIT

http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1

ODIN3

http://www.multiupload.com/DLS7TWUVPY

Add the PIT file in the pit location, check PDA, select I897UCJH2.tar, click start

Once I do this I'm stock.. I do a master clear using the one click and then load the update and ROM zip files and using clockwork I install the rom..never had an issue with camera's, bugs or anything. I just think fresh is always best :)

Hope it helps..again no new news but I just want to help

Thanks adam!!!

By the way.. did we ever get anywhere with the custom incoming and outgoing phone dialer screens?

Thanks again!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Adam...

You should really put this in big bold letters on your OP...

If many things aren't working when you flash this for the first time( not the known issues) just Re-flash the rom..

99.8% of all of my issues went away after you told me to do this yesterday..It's not that difficult to do...hell if they can flash it 1 time...then the 2nd time is a charm...;)

As to having all of these market issues..and back up issues...folks would just as well not messing with Ti at all...and download Astro and use it...I've have seen more issues from Ti being used than ever before...So what if they have to do 1 at a time..how much more of a chance they will get something borked doing 15 or more than just doing it 1 at a time...?

I don't understand folks complaining all the time over such a minor inconvenience of having to do 1 app restore at a time...It's the safest way of doing it so things don't usually get corrupted..plus it gives you a chance to try it first before loading all of them...this way you will know it either works..or doesn't..The folks who are having issues should ask themselves how much time they saved if they are having major issues because of trying to save a few minutes worth of work..

No offense but...what good is locking onto a gps signal indoors have to do with the functionality of it ? Do you need GPS indoors...? Are you using AGPS and picking up on wi-fi or close by cell towers ? I would rather hear someone taking it out in the field and use it..then reporting how well it locks on and tracks properly...I really don't care if a signal locks on inside my home or not...I don't need GPS to find my way around inside my home..Again...no offense meant..but I just don't see the excitement about indoor gps locks...

I love these roms and 4.0.3 is great. I add a few of my owns tweaks to all roms so not having an app or two taken out is no biggie. I would like to know how to add color back to the settings though. But not that important. Great work.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I just have to ask how much effect transitions being enabled has on battery?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Lol, understood! its just that Ive never locked 7 sats before indoors when I open my maps. And if I can lock 7 sats indoors, it should be awesome outdoors. And its 5 degrees outside.... there is no way I'm going outside right now to test. :D

Ok I have one simple question.......Phoenix 4.0.3 or FireFly 1.5???

Can't decide if I wanna switch over from FF 1.5 on Firebird2......it's running great, BUT , if it can be better with Phoenix I will switch....

AHHHHHHHHHHH..........Adam why do you do this to us....LOL....

Is there a new FireFly in the works???? I don't know how much more I can take...LOL...I am gonna burn my Cappy out flashing it so much....
[Captivate Android Development] GoliathTheRipper:
please, post the 4.0.3 log or new changes
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Every Captivate will run differently with different ROMs. I prefer using Phoenix because it runs great on my phone. I see a big improvement between 2.2 (Firefly) and 2.2.1 (Phoenix)

[Captivate Android Development] handzsolo:
Working great so far

Upgraded to 4.0.3 this morning and everything is running super smooth..

I remember seeing a change log 20-40 pages ago, maybe a search will bring it up ?? Not sure if it was even official..

Btw does anyone have the google dock clock app ? I used to click on the time in launcher pro and a nice app docking app came up, but it seems to be lost.

Thanks and have a great weekend

I don't believe so...I was using Aura and just GPS satellites AFAIK.

Change Log

Here is what I found;

Phoenix 4.0 includes the following:

1. Removed excess apps that were wasting space(now about 134 MB when we were at about 150.

2. Framework tweaks

3. Updated GPS files(tracks better IMO)

4. Update wifi files(locks onto my router and holds better)

5. Updated BT files(very clear audio through my cars built in BT)

6. New phone and contacts apk(fixed video call and vm issues)(thanks MikeyMike)
[Captivate Android Development] q5ypdg9:
I agree! I'm staying with 3.5 for now!

I'm using SpeedMod's K12P kernel (just saw version K12Q before I posted this), KP1 modem and Cezar's Sensation v1.0 theme!

This is a great ROM and I like the look of the current theme I'm using.

(I recently tried other ROMS, but came back to Phoenix 3.5)

hey adam, i just flashed 4.0.3 and i cant install any apps! i keep getting the 3 vibrations and a reboot! whats wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
it sounds like something in the system is crashing. If you haven't done much customizing to the ROM yet, I'd just re-flash to make sure you're starting with a clean slate.
[Captivate Android Development] karier13:
Phoenix 4.0.3

I have ben trying this out and it is good. The only thing I found - and this may be me- I could not find the voicemail on the dialer. I just changed out the one in 3.5 and its all good. Is there a way to chance the dates from ddmmyyyy to mmddyy? Not a big deal but guess I am not used to that. I am learning how to change out things so it all works out.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Ok, here's what I have for bugs on 4.0.3 Adam:

.......Uh, well, nothing. Aside from some very basic aesthetic changes. It's quite perfect. It boots very fast, I am getting good signal, even for where I am currently located. I did a restore apps+data with TiBu, and everything works perfectly. WiFi works great. I did my TiBu restore, updated all the apps on wifi, synched Google, setup 2 email accounts and downloaded all the email. A couple SOLID hours setup and config, and my battery is sitting at 75%. I consider that very good life at least at this point.

The ONLY lag I see is a little bit when pulling the notification bar down. But it's almost not worth mentioning. I only did because I really haven't found anything wrong with this ROM.

As far as I am concerned Adam, this one is a keeper. I might mess with kernel or modem, to see if I can eek out some more juice from my device, cause as we ALL know, each device can be a little bit different ;)
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:

Best modem to use on Rogers in Montreal?

What do you think would be the best modem to use overall for speed, clarity etc??

Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
In reality, the ONLY way to determine which will work best, is to install it yourself and see how it performs. Each device can behave a little bit differently, and each geographic location will play into that as well. Give another a try, if you dont see good results from it, try another

No worries here, just wondering about the official-ness of the release. Thanks to all for the quick replies :)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
You'll need to remember that it's not only location dependent, you're also dealing with the devices being a bit different too. You could own 2 Caps, install the same ROM, same kernel, same modem, and you could have different results from the 2 phones.

Your best bet is to go to the Modem thread:

Find one that fits your ROM and try it.

[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Adam, which is better? Ph4.0.3 or FF1.5 ?

And why?

thanks!

I am on FF1.5... if I wanted to try Phoenix, I would Odin FTS, MC, then flash correct?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Why? cause it's Phoenix!!??

To see which one works for you?

I do it for the love(or obsession, I cant figure out which)

Yes, Back up your apps, remove SIM, and SD cards, FTS, MC, then Flash
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
Adam, really like your work. Everything is working great for me. Hope you are able to take a break.

On a side note, I realize you like this as a no flame zone but if you ever want some one to let loose on those listing "bugs", such shutdown sounds, time formats, animations ( all changeable in settings) or British spellings just drop me a pm.

[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Many would prefer a changelog that lists in detail what was modified before making the decision to upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
True... but this is better than nothing. I'll say that there is more white in the theme, but I can't be specific on the actual changes, only Adam can do that. and I believe he's going to get a changelog to Xtreme soon for HQ, and I'd imagine update the OP with it as well...

[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Firebird is a different kernel than what adam used for 4.0.3 stock. He used SpeedMod K12O.

You install it by flashing it with CWM. I'd do a bit more research first though. Just so you know what/why you're flashing it
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
So when it comes to backup and restore of user apps, it must not matter what ROM you happen to be running on right? My first backup was on ECLAIR ROM, and restore on a FF1.5. Now I will be backing up user apps on a FF 1.5 ROM, and then restoring on a Phoenix 4.0.3 ROM... All good?

So is it a myth, or mandatory, to remove SIM and SD card?

thanks!

Ive never removed my SD or SIM card. Never had an issue.. Myth.

How to get at original ECLAIR set of /system/apps/

Can someone tell me where I could locate those? on the Net? Maybe some retrieve them from my Current ROM backup (img files)?

I am looking to find the original swype.apk

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] josh.jude:
so I just flash the same way that I flashed the rom? will it help or hurt I know you said to research but I am not finding anything.....
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
The only time it would matter is if the app you have installed when you're on Eclair is not compatible with Froyo, and you try to restore it. If you have restored it on FF, you would've seen some F/C's. So if you're going to Phoenix as long as you don't restore system items you should be fine.

I can't say it's either myth OR mandatory. But I can say, it's safe. If something borks on the install and wipes your micro SD (that has all of your backups) then what do you do? I've seen some strange stuff, better to be safe than sorry
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
You would just copy it to your internal SD, reboot into Recovery, select Install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, select the zip file, and install.

Start here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912684

This is the link to DG's thread for Firebird.

Will it help or hurt? I guess, are you having problems with your phone? Is it working ok? If it's ok, then I'd say no need. If you're obsessed with flashing and want to see other stuff then go for it. At the worst, it doesn't work well for you and you have to re-flash all over again

Google talk

Weirdest issue...

So I just flashed 4.0.3 following the directions line by line as usual. Added my google account, restored my TiBu apps... Everything seems rad and rockin except that Google Talk is nowhere to be found! The app wont launch (cause its not there) and I cannot for the life of me find it in the market either... wtf?! Nothing on AppBrain, nada... so confused.

Has anyone else had this issue? I know this is not an issue with this rom, but just wondering since everyone is updating and will likely be doing the same things that I have.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Its not included with this ROM, its one of the apps that was taken out to thin the ROM, Kizzmiazz has a link to a Gtalk APK about 10 pages before this one....I'll try to link his post later

[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Here's the direct link: http://www.phoenix-hq.com/andy/Talk.apk

I have to say, I disagree with the choice to pull this app from the rom. I feel it's a core app for a Google OS, not to mention it's kind of a pain to track down if you want it back.

This should be noted in the change log too :/

Just my opinion/feedback. Otherwise this rom is the cats pajamas <--good thing :)
[Captivate Android Development] azranger:
I personally never remove them but it might increase the chance of a bad flash with them installed. In fact I install ROM's from the External SD card. In the early days of smartphones the CPU's and NAND memory were much slower and prone to getting out of step with other. Someone noticed that if the you remove anything not needed for the install the sucess rate for a good flash increased so it became the norm.

Your milage may very, but the only bad flash I have had was doing a ODIN return to stock with everything removed. Bricked it the first day I had it, had to build the USB jig to fix it.

Phoenix 3.5 ROM
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Has anyone noticed a significant difference from Phoenix 3.5? I'm running that with the KP1 modem and the SM-O kernel - Great GPS, fast, but could have better battery life... It is about the only thing that I'm still looking to improve although I haven't tried a battery-stats wipe. I didn't alway charge to 100% before flashing in the past so I don't know if that caused a problem. I'm looking forward to seeing the theme for 4.03 and if all themes for 3.5 would work (or even 3.0).
[Captivate Android Development] nyproud:
Adam, kizz, whoever...been outa touch lately, and see Phoenix 4.0.3 is out. I'm ready to flash it (from 3.5 with FB2...which isn't working too well...slow GPS), anyway, verify for me before I do the deed: toggle voodoo off, backup all user/system files on my pc, then d/l and use CWm to install, reboot.

Did I miss anything and which modem is in this version ROM (jkO?)? Standing by for reply...anyone?

I have trailed off in my reading of this thread about 45 pages ago... and I see BLN being referenced

[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
BLN is Backlight notifications, whenever you have a message pending, the bottom display lights come on. Kin of neat, but a little bit of a battery hog unless you use the BLN app correctly and don't leave the lights on too long.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
can you flash 4.03 directly over 3.0?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Hey Chuck, I think you got it all down except, I would not waste time backing up user/system information. I'd back up your apps+ data and restore them, but not anything to do with the system stuff
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
