MobileAP on Perception 10.4

This may or may not work for you (it worked for me). To use the MobileAP in Perception 10.4 I had to add the dhcp-options to provide a different DNS server in the dnsmasq.conf file.

Basically you need to create a file named /etc/dnsmasq.conf which has the following single line:

dhcp-options=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

That line will instruct dnsmasq to send the two public Google DNS servers in the DHCP reply messages instead of the IP of the phone (replace DNS servers in the comma separated list with your choice if you wish).

I am not sure why the built in DNS forwarding service in dnsmasq is not working properly, but this work around is just fine for my purposes. Everything else seems to work properly, the DHCP server, the iptables masqerading, WPA2, etc.

As I was troubleshooting, I discovered that while it appears the dnsmasq starts a DNS forwarding service on the phone and binds to the correct ports, I am unable to connect to those ports from my laptop. I also see the DNS updates coming from the parent process and dnsmasq accepting the forwarders.

I have checked all the iptables firewall rules on the phone and verified that I can connect locally on the phone to the TCP port (I did not check the UDP port). I have also tried running dnsmasq as a separate process with various command line options to bind to specific addresses or other ports, and I have tried running earlier and later binaries of dnsmasq (lifted from the wifi-tether apk and the CM7.tar.gz respectively), but I have been unable to communicate with the dnsmasq DNS server outside of locally from the phone. So I am stumped on why dnsmasq was working previously and it's not working now.

If anyone has a better workaround, I'm all ears ;)

anyone having issues with wired headset tx call volume

my last post on this because if nobody replies it must be just me and I'll stop polluting the thread.

but if anyone is having the same issue I am: Using the wired headset tx call volume is nil (i.e. called party cannot hear you, because there is no volume at all) post a response and hopefully a fix. Using the handset (no wired headset) works fine.

Wired headset mic works as proven by voice recorder.

Any else having issues installing from market.android.com. says it is downloading the app then just disappears from notification screen with no error. this happens when running as at&t market or t-mobile market. and even from the market app on the phone sometimes i have to tell it to install 2x, before it actually installs.

Anybody else has a problem with downloading facebook app from market?

Worked fine on Serendipity, and all other apps download fine in Perception.. but facebook - notifications show facebook app downloading, but when it reaches 100% it just gives up and quits. I've tried rebooting, doing it on 3G, on WiFi, nothing helps.

It's bad enough that facebook has the worst website design on the planet, now their app is acting like crap too.

Go to themes and apps section and search for th thread titled "[THEME] Gingerbread Theme 1.1.3C (12/24) - for JK3, JPU, JPX, JPY based ROMs"

Reboot hangs a while at the perception screen - enough to make you think it won't boot - but it comes out alright. be patient
[Captivate Android Development] Malorkus:
Yup, I have this issue with Perception 10.3.. Downloading from the market app on the phone seems to work but pushing a download from the website is flaky and then makes the market app flaky on that particular download, too. I've just been avoiding using the market website for downloads but it would be nice to resolve that issue..
[Captivate Android Development] Adam Raines:
Don't worry, you're not alone. However, I have no fix for this. It's up to someone much more qualified than us both.

I noticed it the other day when attempting to make a call with my headset. Maybe it has something to do with the preinstalled amplifier?
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
When changing kernels to Firebird 2 v1.0 this is what WORKS without ERRORS:

1. Boot into Recovery

2. Select - voodoo lagfix. - disable lagfix (VERY IMPORTANT!)

3. Reboot --- be patient - it takes ~12 minutes

4. Boot into Recovery

5. Select - wipe cache partition

6. Select - install zip from sdcard. - choose zip from sdcard.

find the firebard2-v1.0.zip where you saved it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912684)

let it do it's install

+++++Go Back+++++, - reboot system now

Let it boot - it takes a bit longer than norm because it needs to rebuild the Cache.

After this, you should be golden, and the lagfix should already be enabled due to the new kernel.

NOTE it you have a setup you like, you can also do a - backup and restore (backup) above (after disabling lagfix but before wiping cache) before you install the new kernel. This saves lots of time when changing roms! -- You now have a good baseline to return to!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Done the same flash but never had to disable voodoo when flashing a voodoo enabled kernel and I've flashed quite a few of them.

Use SGS kernel flasher for even easier kernel flashes and you can backup your existing kernel. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
I have succeeded several times without disabling voodoo, but I have had times with problems, so better SAFE than sorry :-). Also, I don't have enough knowledge of voodoo and so perhaps it no longer needs to be disabled? Anyone intimately familiar with the lagfix, can you share your understanding? as it would be nice to know thats not needed any longer. THANKS for the reminder of the SGS kernel flasher - very good.

Has anyone got this ROM working on a 1006 build phone?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I get you, for kernel flashing using SGS Kernel Flasher I just have yet to have any problems with voodoo or ULFK and as far as I know, there isn't any reason to dis able them when flashing lagfix enabled kernels, but I'm not 100% on that, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, just flashed Speedmod K13b from Firebird 2 v. 1 with zero issues using SGS Kernel Flasher. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] bwolmarans:
Thanks Adam Raines good to know. I am passing on perception for a bit, am running firefly and have hsupa, voodoo sound fix, and my headset works now. I will check back in a few releases to see how Perception is doing because I prefer DG work.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, just upgraded to 10.4 last night and I've run into a bit of a problem. I did the reflash to get my Bluetooth Voice Dialer (Dialler in the system) to work again, so I flashed to 10.3, but it didn't work. So I'm not sure if this is a problem in 10.3 as well. The Bluetooth Voice Dialer is working, but is completely silent from what all I can tell, which is not what I want. I like the fact that it tells me when to speak and confirms what I have said like it did in 10.2. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I seem to have 3 different Voodo related apps on my system. I know two are from backups on TI-BU and one was included in this ROM. Which should I keep and which should I ditch?
[Captivate Android Development] behrouz:
Is there going to a Perception 10.5?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You don't need to disable lagfix when you flash from a kernel using ext4 file system to a kernel that also uses ext4.

So, you don't need to disable lagfix for Voodoo-lagfix kernels and Speedmod (ULFK) or SuckerPunch kernel (wich is based on speedmod and uses the same lagfix)

Voodoo and ULFK (speedmod) lagfixes converts data, cache and dbdata partitions to ext4, instead of RFS.

OneClickLagfix does something different I don't now much about it but I know it's not suggested. You need to disable OCLF before flashing another kernel and vice-versa.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yeah, I pretty much know that, was just getting someone else to confirm or deny it as the case may be. Better for the user if more than one person is saying it is this way. Thanks for confirming it even though I called it UCLF, lol.

One Click Lagfix (OCLF) uses the ext2 file system mounted with the existing rfs system, it's not a full conversion, rather it's another partition on the existing rfs partition which leads other issues not necessary to get into here. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Uninstall all three and then re download the voodoo sound app (that is what you're talking about right) and do a clean install. You can at least get that out of the mix as being an issue. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have had issues when I went from a kernel with the uclf and back to a voodoo lagfix. If I go from a voodoo to a voodoo no issues. If I go from uclf (or whatever it is called. not the oclf. )Like suckerpunch and speedmod to no issues. BUT if I go from suckerpunch/speedmod to a voodoo lagfix I will have many force closes. If I go from a voodoo kernel to a suckerpunch/speedmod no issues. Maybe it is just my phone though. I found that all I had to do was reflash the speedmod/suckerpunch kernel again and my force closes were fixed. AGAIN not sure why my phone doesn't like it. Just my experience though.

I've had no issues, just earlier today I went from Firebird 2 v. 11 to SpeedMod K13b using SGS Kernel flasher and had no problems. Weird how different phones/users have different problems with the same software and hardware; depending on the build # of course. :cool:

Wipe dalvik cache when swapping kernels, if it doesn't help wipe cache partition.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks, that will just leave me trying to fix the the voice dialer. Any suggestions there?
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
This may help---> I have noticed that the prompts on the voice dialing are silent until after I have installed the free text-to-speech data which downloads from market when you try and use Google maps to give you directions for driving. I never had to do this in the past until recent 10.?+ builds, etc... I wonder if it is possible to automatically include this in the build DG?

When it was silent for me, I thought at first that something was broken. But after the data download from market (I wish I could remember what the package name was???) I looked, but couldn't determine much beyond that I have the normal PICO engine for text-to-speech.

I hope this helps... try using Google Maps and see if then the voice dialer prompt "Speak Now" shows up....
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Close to what I did, except I just copied zImage over and didn't bother signing since I knew the recovery didn't care about that.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Possibly, assuming the install script doesn't get angry about all the missing parts, give you the finger and quit. I guess it depends on the order in which things happen.

Anyone else having problems downloading from the market after flashing this ROM?

Wifi works, facebook loads and updates status etc., the market actually loads completely, but when i try to download something all it does is say starting download and just sticks there, no notifications showing that its downloading shows up or anything.

I had an issue with MMS messages crashing the messaging app. I tried stock/master clear twice. Tested an MMS and MMS was working. RE-flashed to stock/master clear again and then flashed to Perc. 10.3 . Still had MMS messages crashing the app. Saw Perc. 10.4 come out and went back to stock / master clear. Flashed Perc. 10.4 and tested MMS. Still no dice. Crashed again when trying to view MMS. I also had a problem with the camera as it would NOT do panoramic. It would take the pictures but when it went to compile them into the panoramic it would say "failed" and I wouldn't get the panoramic. I flashed back to stock/master clear. Flashed Serendipity 5.10 and tested MMS and it works fine. Panoramic works as well. I flashed back to stock/master clear again and flashed Perc. 10.4 for one last shot at it. No dice, still have MMS issue and panoramic photo issue. Went back to Serendipity. I liked the Perception Rom for most things but I do use my panoramic when taking photos of closets at work and when I do things at the lake or a bike ride through the country. MMS hurt as well and I couldn't figure out what the issue was. Maybe next time =/

[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
Don't know what that could be. MMS and panoramic work fine on my phone with 10.4. I had 10.2, flashed to 10.3, flashed to stock/master clear, flashed 10.4 all in the last 10 days. has worked fine so far.

Only issue I have had has been with market.android.com not download/installing into the phone. And looks like google updated this, it now appears to be working fine, the download page looks different now.

Otherwise has been a great rom, with the best battery life yet. went 24hrs and only used about 40% charge.

[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
DesignGears

I switched back from Serendipity because the theme started to get bland on me. There are a few things from the ROM that would be great on Perception. List: Remove the Video call button, the camera improvements mikey made, no scroll power menu, maybe a GPS fix. It's those little things that make a good ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Great ROM as always!

If only it included the Android keyboard in addition...both SWYPE and the Samsung one are terrible! I have to add the Android one every time I flash this ROM and sure wish I didn't. Can't it be included as well?

Good job DG!

EDIT: I just installed the Gingerbread keyboard through cwm and it works great. Guess I can just do that, it's easier than copying files to system/app and stuff!

Can't go back to stock 2.1 ROM

Hey everyone,

I've been enjoying DG's ROMs but need to get my Captivate back to stock ROM 2.1. I have read through all of the different threads on how to do this but am having zero luck accomplishing it.

I currently have ClockworkMod Recovery installed and have three button support.

When I try and use any Odin package to return to the stock ROM I can't get a Green com indicator showing that it is connected to the phone. I have all of the correct drivers installed on my XP computer.

I would appreciate any help with this.

BTW, the reason why I need to go back to the stock 2.1 ROM is the poor email performance when connecting to Corporate Exchange for email support. I use my phone for business and it is too problamatic and flaky to use day in day out.

Great ROMs DG, otherwise.

Thanks, CozyJozy

Weird, wish I could have gotten it ironed out myself. I got tired of trying over and over and no luck. I did a lot of things to try and fix it but I could never get it to work properly and wasted numerous hours attempting it.
