Yes, flash without disabling voodoo. I just got done doing it. Leaves all your settings, apps, etc. intact. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] *** Adrian ***:
Sorry for some noob questions...:confused:

Will wipe data if i install this rom via cwm?

Do i have to save my nv_data.bin?

Is the call logs working fine?

To save my contacs i just can do the export and save the .VCF file, right?

Are the four buttons still dont lighting up when use the phone?

hi .... how is the battery consumption on this new version rom ?

Thank You
[Captivate Android Development] StunGod:
I had some trouble with 9.5, and had much better stability and luck with 99...was hoping P10 would be like 99 with GPS, but it looks like this went from 9.5 to 10. After a couple of hours, I flashed back to 99 so I wouldn't go crazy.

Some issues I had with 9.5 and 10 that didn't happen in 99:

- Phone randomly turns on. Just sitting there on my desk, it acts like I pushed the power button. This happens randomly, sometimes a couple of times in a minute or it might go a couple of hours but it happens a lot.

- Bluetooth doesn't let me answer calls. With Bluetooth on and an incoming call, the phone becomes unresponsive. I can't answer via bluetooth or on the phone itself. It just keeps ringing until the call goes to voicemail.

- Frequent "Refreshing SIM Data" messages on-screen. Whenever this happens, the phone disconnects from the carrier and reconnects. Kinda annoying when I'm trying to talk to somebody or watch streaming video.

- Unreliable WiFi connections too. It won't maintain a connection to my home network.

On the plus side, I've never had better GPS than what 9.5 had. It was a huge difference. I didn't play with GPS on 10, so i can't comment there. But if 99 had functional GPS I'd probably stick with it long-term. I don't need GPS right now, so I'm going to keep 99 as my primary at this point and wait to see what comes after 10.

Also, I really liked the theme on 99. I wish you had kept it in 10 - it's classy.

But seriously dude - this is great. I came over to Perception after using cog through b8, and really like what you're doing. Beer money is coming shortly...payday is Friday.

(BTW, if anybody knows how to add GPS to 99 without screwing it up, please let me know.)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Sounds like you have some issues other than the roms, I have had no issues like that on 9.5 or 10. Maybe you're installing an app or data from a backup that's screwing tings up? or something like that.

I do have one issue on 10, Quadrant hangs at 10/12 on the cpu test, I'm dying. LOL Fix it DG! ;)

Edit: It's the video decoding - H.264 that it's hanging on, probably because of the hacked camera? No it was working until I installed the patch v0.5.

Any ideas DG? Not that I care about Quadrant but because of what it's hanging on. ;)

Stay awake while plugged in....

For anyone who is interested.

I was reading a lot of posts on battery life (I'm losing 13% during my 25 min drive to work on 10 patch4) and found that some were reporting the modems to make a big difference, so I found and downloaded the UGJL2 modeem from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10023723&postcount=82

To my surprise, the option to stay awake while plugged in was back in the Applications>Development menu. I guess the TLJL3 takes it out for some reason.

Just thought I'd share this little nugget for anyone who really liked that feature.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yes it does. I installed an app called Battery Left and it is calibrating and shows different readings than system right now..But I still got over 15 hours yesterday of non rationed use, which is all i really need as I have a charger and three Samsung batteries.

I edited the nv_data.bin file using a hex editor to apply the correct product code when I flashed to stock. This ROM did not alter the PC or IEMI YAY!!

I dropped a backed up EFS folder in my root just to ensure I could regain those settings if something went ary as well. I now have a back up of the EFS folder with all the correct settings.
[Captivate Android Development] nolanta:
I flashed Perception 10 yesterday, charged overnight to 100% charge. Within 2 hours this morning was down to 77% battery. Did a Titanium backup, disabled lagfix, rebooted, had 73%.

Flashed back to Cog 2.3b8 (GREATEST BATTERY LIFE EVER!) and it showed 40% battery (just in the time it took to flash, went from 73 to 40). Not sure what to believe, but going to stick to the Cog 2.3b8 for a while.

At first I thought Locale was chewing up my battery, since I didn't install on the last flash of 2.3b8, but now I'm not sure. Might reinstall and see how it does on this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Yes you will and should if you are on a different ROM. Use Titanium Back up to back up and restore your apps and ap data

SYNC your contacts with a Gmail account and you won;t need a VCF file. Otherwise yes nyou can save the VCF on an EXT SD and the phone will find it.

If you are concerned with ROMS changing Product codes and or your IEMI, back up the EFS FOLDER.

I don;t know if BLN works. I never use it and disable it on ROMS that have it.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
You will find the first 25% if the battery indicator drops fast, the middle much much slower. Use hours not minutes.

Some are more interested in "benchmarking" everything for maximum numbers than real world use.

My battery "benchmark:"

Does the battery last from sunrise wakeup to sunset sleep under normal usage patterns?

If answer is "yes" pay no attention to the numbers. IMO the battery icon should be devoid of all numerical indications. but that would drive habitual 'bench markers' crazy

Battery life is not that great for the must part in i9000 ROMS in my experience. But unless you are seeking a record or bragging rights for battery life I don't see where anyone really needs more than waking hour battery life if they can charge at night. Extra batteries are a must for these phones if Battery life is a major concern. I would not go to a lesser performing ROM for a few hours more battery life while I sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:

[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
I posted and never got a response so I will post again. What are the data speeds like on p 10 because that is the only reason I stay on p 5 is because I get 3 megs a second on average and is mobile ap still in p 10
[Captivate Android Development] jsuresh:
Thanks for checking :)
[Captivate Android Development] Linwood.Ferguson:
I'm feeling dense -- the change log appears to show all the patch 1-5 changes, right?

I didn't save the list from 4, was there a list of just what was in 5? Or am I going blind and can't see it.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Let us know what the battery performance is like. I really need better battery life and I am willing to sacrifice data speed for it.
[Captivate Android Development] nolanta:
After switching back to Cog and being plugged in for a half hour, it's only showing 50% charge. Certainly not looking to brag, but most people need to be able to trust the device will be operational without requiring a charge every 4-5 hours. 100% - 50% in the past 3 hours (some of it recharging) is significant. Otherwise, I'd totally agree with you.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
If memory serves, here are the changes:

- Full Permissions Fix

- Battery life should be a bit better
[Captivate Android Development] louiscyphere13:
Its strange how the same phone can differ from one another so much.., me and my brother have the same phone and are always trying different roms,..I'm running 10 right now but for me personally ,9.5 99 is what my phone ran the best on as far as battery life, stability,....its one of the only times I've seen my phone charge to 100% and stay there when I unplug the charger lol,.just dl'd the fix file and gonna install,..props to D.G for making this phone so much fun for me!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I think you will find the rate of drain decreases as the "number" goes down. But No one should need a charge in 5 hours.

I would be concerned as well if I needed a charge after 5 hours of normal for me usage. But something like that should be easy to find the culprit. It is no the ROM as that seems to be an isolated case. PLUS your battery indicator may be not be calibrated and reading erroneously. That is why you should try Battery left or another app alongside. I did and found two different readings LOL
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
your memory doesn't serve you very well ;)

- BFQ IO scheduler by default

- Memory Tweaks (makes things run WAY smoother, launcher2 should work better now)

- 341MB Available RAM

- Full Permissions Fix

- Battery life should be a bit better
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
LOL, I got a few of them. :) I thought the 341MB was back around patch 3. <sigh>
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Just upgraded from 9.5 to 10...

AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much for including an Exchange client that works with my company's 2010 Exchange server :) 9.5's Exchange client didn't work for me so I had to use the Galaxy Tab Email.apk.

Everything seems to be running great. I'll have to check wifi when I get home tonight, that was the only other problem I had with the JL3 modem from 9.5. Hopefully that's no longer an issue for me and I won't have to go to JL2 as I did before.

I still get the SIM Removed, Please Reboot when toggling airplane mode, but I can tolerate that.
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
I searched the thread, but didn't see any comments yet on themes, anyone know what is currently working on P10?

[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Uh-oh. I can't play videos now.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
How is the gps with this rom/modem?

also if anyone is using this rom with a different modem?

only firebird kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
?? Are the fixes addative? I.E. if I add fix 0.5 to a ROM with fix 0.4 already flashed, is that safe - I assume so, but sometimes it is good to ask...
[Captivate Android Development] KagaHades:
Same thing here.

Edit: Also it seems that the YouTube app will no longer play videos either.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Whoops, confirmed here, I cannot play mp4 videos with P10 Patch 5.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
me too.

I replaced the camera.apk and still have the problem.

its related to something else
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
confirmed here as well
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:

[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Can someone tell me if P10 has the following features:

BT Voice Dialing

Accurate GPS (not wireless networks general location)

Mobile AP

Mobile Networks to switch from GSM to WCDMA and vice versa

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Sorry, It was late at nigh here! I didn't even see that I could only download the patch... :D
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
this is the theme im currently using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880902 and it works like a charm. Because this ROM is JPY based, one can go over to the Galaxy S I9000 Themes forum and use most of the themes found there.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I installed it yesterday (am not sure patch 4 or 5 - how can you tell?) and after restoring settings, couldn't connect to google talk and market would not download. Did a factory reset and lost the BLN icon.

Does the factory reset remove voodoo? I was on Cognition 2.3b8 and was running voodoo. First installation of the P10 didn't invoke the voodoo voice prompts but the restart after factory reset did.

Other than that, seems solid enough. GPS sucked on cognition but is super on this rom. I got a 10 satellite lock with an accuracy of 5m within seconds when using GPS Status. Funny thing is that google maps would not go below 20m accuracy - tracks the phone pretty well though.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
BT Voice Dial is a Yes

Accurate GPS is a Yes (7 Sats in 30 seconds, indoors)

Mobile AP, seems to work, haven't tested in detail.

I only have one AP by default in my config.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Must be the native camera apk...I can play videos with Video Player Beta app from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
The patch is a new kernel and appears to be cumulative, so yes P5 includes P1-P4.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I have already tested that and the camera.apk is not the problem
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I am having the video problem.

I have the .5 patch and that did not fix the video
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Mobile Networks is the least of the above, I can always do the app in my sig.

Thanks for the response. Sorry, I don't have time to read 60+ pages - I read the first 10 or so. lol
[Captivate Android Development] jennyngo24:
IS there anyway that i can download only patch?

I am on patch 4 and don't want to flash my Samsung again.

Is there anyway that I can backup Group Contacts ( family, friends,work) ?

I exported contacts to SD card,but it exported all contacts ( including gmail contacts - which I don't want ) to my SD card. When I backed up contacts, group contacts aren't backed up.

Thanks much.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
From what people are saying it caused the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Okay just tried it out and videos I had previously made do not play either. I am sure it will vet figured out though. Also decided to try the video camera to see if it would record so I could play back but it says video failed and locks up for a few before finally closing after hitting OK.

Any chance to have updates pushed to rom manager? Also, had anyone else had any problems with streaming media via bt?

Right. Camera can't record video. Rock Player failes with hardware decode, but works with it's software codec. It's something lower level.

ADB Reboot Recovery-> Not working

Anyone had reboot to recovery by ADB not work? I'm about to apply 10, and can't get to recovery. It just boots the phone, but loads the OS.

I have applied the 1click lag fix back to stock so far.

I do have the USB debugging turned on.

[EDIT]

Never mind. I dorked it. I typed ADB REBOOT RECOVER. Then was using the up key to repeat command, and did same thing. Once I read my screen of what I was typing I found my problem:o

[Captivate Android Development] Infiniti350GT:
Thank you Designgears!!!! I installed this yesterday and have been running great since. I experienced some intermittent WiFi issues, with full reception the phone would not load off WiFi but load data over the network with no problem. I rebooted a few times & turned the modem on and off probably 10 times. Since then I've been fine as it's only occurred once since. Also experience a intermittent issue with connecting to the market over WiFi & data resolved by ending the application and opening it back up again - this has occurred 2 times out of 10 times of use of the market. Install went very smooth also running the Darknessv2.5 theme right now.

Call clarity is great, no issues incoming or outgoing data, calls or text. Very fast (came from stock w/ root + OCLF) hitting about 14 mflops (1500-1600 quad I know its not accurate just posting for reference) Checked previous videos and all load and run fine. Camera working perfect, recording video working perfect. All functions from my previous set up are still in place. I don't use Bluetooth so I am sorry to say to those that do I don't have any input I can add here. And I have never and will never rely on GPS on a phone (GPS came in my car & external units are very inexpensive & much more accurate/faster/more reliable) however I did test it and found I was able to get a lock in an acceptable amount of time at home upstairs but not able to get one at work in the office near the window (tested with only using GPS satellites when using wireless networks to assist with location I achieved a lock less than 6 or 7 seconds in both locations)

Again Thank you DesignGears I am very impressed and pleased! Keep it coming & I got you a case of beer coming...as soon as I remember my paypal password...

I don't know why i charged my device to full 100%. After I unplug the charger, the battery becomes 99% immediately. I tried to cablirate my device many times but the battery seems so weird.

I already updated patch .5

Yep. You are right. Definitely the kernel. I just flashed xcal 2.3 kernel and video is now working.

[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
RIF - It is a known issue with this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
That's normal :p

Short story is your device is rarely ever at 100%...

Keeping it at 100% stresses it. So while your phone says it's 100%, it might really be 95%. It might hit 94% (but still says 100%) before it charges it up to 100% again.

When you unplug your phone it's simply coming back to reality.

It's a trick most cell phone manufacturers implement nowadays to extend the life of the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] jennyngo24:
Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Woah Woah Woah what the heck....

I installed Darkness 2.5 (required reboot of course). Now I'm at 60%.

Maybe a problem with this ROM in regards to reporting battery life, perhaps. I was going to say that 100% for 4:30 was insane... But now I wonder if it just got hung up and never refreshed it. Hmmmm...

8% drain an hour isn't that great. Now I wonder if the 60% is accurate or if the reality is somewhere between 60% and 100%...

If I consistently get this 8% an hour I'm definitely headed back to Cognition B8.

AFAICT, this isn't using either CLShortFuse's or da_g's GPS fixes. Neither is mentioned in the credits and comparing the zips shows plenty of differences from both of them. I'm guessing the JPX release just has a few fixes from Samsung (possibly cribbed from here. :D)
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
You don't have to charge it to 100% if you don't want to. There's no memory affect in lithium ions.

And it depends on your power :) And what the phone is doing in the background, etc.
