From a practical standpoint or technical?

Practically, with performance aside:

Perception has faster data, BT dialing, and 4 lock screens, but some minor capacitive button bugs (see OP). There are claims that it is quieter (in-call volume). In general: bleeding edge cool.

Cognition doesn't have haptic or capacitive light bugs, but it does have slower data, no BT dialing, and only one lock screen. In general: rock solid.

Technically: answers are all over this thread and in the respective OPs.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great ROM.

Just updated to 10.2, things seem to be running good on my i896 w/ Firebird 2 & ZNKP1 modem. GPS is inconsistent at best, but otherwise a great find. Much appreciated. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bmunday:
sorry

Where the hell did this come from? Did I miss something recently?

Can we please keep this thread for what it's meant for, discussing this ROM?? All other issues, use PM!!

Back to the ROM, no one else having the AM shut down of death huh? I think one of my apps is doing it, oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I did the update from 10.1 to 10.2 and my phone is not liking it. It some times is great. Other times it is so slow. I think the upgrade did not work well. First time I did not go back to stock first.

I have a question from reading all this. If I go back to stock and right to 10.2 am I going to have a issue with market place not showing up?
[Captivate Android Development] mrcpu:
Flash 10.1, loved it, flashed 10.2, seems to be working just fine on my cappy.

Not sure what else there is to say, other than great work, keep it up, I love it.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Woah what is with that rant??

Flashed from Cognition to this, got bored. Running nicely pre-restore. I don't see cosmetic changes to the lockscreen, but oh well. Home haptic is very appreciated :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Nice. I think I'm going to wait for 10.3 or whatever comes next. I'm curious to know what will happen to Perception once DG phases out 2.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
i've learned from many on these forums and from experience that flashing on an old ROM can often lead to badness....

So, odin one click back over to flash/master clear, root, CW, then flash on 10.2 and you should be good...
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Other than apparently cause a few issues, what are the actual practical differences between 2.2 and 2.2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] AdoptedDeV:
You looked into the recall bit in the general section? Some phones are known to have this little bug.

If your one of those, than try an app called "Captivate keep alive" it's in the market for free.

It worked for me, but now I run tasker and apparently thats enough cycles to keep it from powering down.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Anybody think DG might figure out how to add the elusive audio out feature now that froyo is on its way to the vibrant today?
[Captivate Android Development] conundrum768:
designgears,

Thanks for a great ROM, I love it. The flashing experience was simple and quick, quite a difference from the WinMo flashing that I was so accustomed to. The ROM is sleek and lean. It looks good and isn't laden with extraneous apps, modules or tweaks.

That said, I am experiencing a couple problems. The battery is first and foremost. I flashed seven days ago and I'm seeing approximately 10% battery drain per hour. This 10% is when the phone is idle, if I am using it at all (even just changing settings or the layout) I see a marked increase in battery drain. I've had the phone die twice during the course of a 8-hour workday (once with no calls having been made).

The battery meter is telling me that the display is responsible for 81% of my battery drain. This is odd because I have the phone off and locked while this drain is occurring. I also have the backlight set to 15 seconds and have the display on it's lowest brightness level. I am not using a Live background and have the battery saving setting (in the display-settings subsection) ticked.

The second problem is that I seem to be unable to disable the audible notification when a new email is received.

P.S. It should be noted that I am using the device, exclusively, in an area with extensive 3G coverage (AT&T) and that WiFi is not active during these battery-drain periods.
[Captivate Android Development] spd2230:
I had a similar issue and it was the stock email app.

Try setting gmail to "never update" and see if it fixes your problem.

Gmail was pinging the google servers every 5-7 seconds when it was set to update every two hours. When I disabled email update the pinging/battery draining stopped immediately.

I eventually installed the AOSP email apk and everything works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Sorry for the stupid question, but what actual version of the Firebird kernel is being used at the moment? FB2? If so, which version? Or the original Firebird ("1"?) kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] curti.nogg:
My only complaint is the minor update to the dialer. I'm glad they added the messaging button, but I don't like that they moved the call button over. :(

Great work and thanks again dg.

[Captivate Android Development] adrian18w:
I just installed 10.2 . Did anyone have issues with opening the market app? Not sure why, but it keeps on crashing on me, I tried to wipe it's data. But the app opens for half a second "loading" sign shows and the app closes.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Perception and GPS

Ok, I know I still have a pending question a few posts back, but here's a different one. :)

What are people seeing for GPS performance with Perception 10.2?

I understand that DG has given up on trying to fuss with GPS. It's his ROM and I respect that. However, unlike DG, to me GPS is really important and I imagine many other of you out there. So I'm wondering what the rest of you are doing in regards to getting better GPS performance while using Perception? Is it just "amazing" out of the box, or could it use improvement?

There are many supposed GPS "fixes" and tweaks around, and many other ROMs incorporate several. I've been exploring and here are some of the ones I've found mentioned (linked to their sources). I'm not sure someone has compiled a list like this before:

Epic GPS fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759976

Da_G GPS fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941

Google GPS fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10658043&postcount=2459

CLShortFuse GPS fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789383

Has anyone tried incorporating any of these into Perception? What were your results? Which ones supersede/overwrite others? Are any redundant?
[Captivate Android Development] gomes512:
Been running it for the second day, works great and is smooth. For me at least, GPS works great.

Not sure if anyone else had a problem with the proximity sensor for the screen? Seems sometimes it isn't working and my ear hits buttons when talking.

Just completed this and do not see a 3G indicator .. i rely on 3G extensively how do I get it back ? in its place I see a greyed out H ..please help
[Captivate Android Development] :
Quick question. The Cog rom is to be as close to Samsung's rom as possible with enhancing it where it needs to be... so is Perception trying to be as stock to Google's rom (2.2.1)? If so, then this is the rom Im looking for.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] ShredNasty:
Know what's annoying as f*ck? How you guys take down the link to old versions of a ROM. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good. I've had NOTHING but problems with 10.2. No, I don't wanna talk about them. I want 10.1. Thank you. That is all.
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
Just a question. I'm running 10.1 firebird 2.04 I can't find any themes that will not brick my phone. Anybody know where to get some?

In my experience, the rom/fixes have a significant impact on performance. I see anywhere from horrible to acceptable gps (nav) accuracy. Though you are correct that the captivated suffers from issues that prevent performance on par with other phones, many do see improvements that make it usable.

Yes, that is the way to ask for help. Only thing better would be providing no info at all. I personally have saved copies of every file I've downloaded from here, especially the roms when your updating to a new one because you never know what will happen.

Link to 10.1 full:Perception-Build-10.1.zip from my collection.

Next time try and be civil about asking for help, really, the ones helping you usually have nothing to do with taking down a link. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
Okay, even into this 10.2, I'm still having problems with my wi-fi. I can connect once, then once it disconnects, I can never connect to the same router again. Its not my router, otherwise all 6 of the other devices I have connected to it would have the same problem.

I can get it to reconnect to the wi-fi temporarily, but only by going through settings - > wirless networks -> wi-fi

Even then, it only stays on a few minutes then disconnects on its own.

Is there a solution for this? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
well, no old version for you... *removed all old versions*

If you aren't going to help by providing feedback, please, go use a different rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I find this largely attributable to the modem actually. I9088ZNKP1 is the only one that has remained glued to my car and can track within about 5 meters or so.

I don't really know too much about the nuances, but I would recommend that you run through some different modems. Particularly good ones that I've used include T959UCJL3, I9000UGJL2 and I9088ZNKP1.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just curious but where can I find the UCJL3 modem? I've heard good stuff about the JL3 modem, but I want to try something other than the Telus version
[Captivate Android Development] jaydeekay:
Could that be the answer? I also have that problem with my battery. I can wake up from a nap and lose ~20%. Also turning wifi off isn't really an option yet because I did set wifi to "sleep when screen is off"and it used 75mb of my monthly 200. Overnight or 2 nights! Iono what the heck it's doing...

Yea how do you set that for gmail? Or does someone else have any ideas?

Normally I wouldn'y ask, but I searched through a ton of pages and didn't see anything.

Does anyone have issues on 10.2 with their WiFi? I was on COG 3.0.3 and I could connect just fine, but now on Perception 10.2 it gets stuck on "Obtaining IP.." Any ideas?

Also, I can only seem to get edge connection for my signal. Before the flash I could get 3G at my desk, and now nothing. (It was "H" for a little while)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I have had the wifi issue before but not on any recent perception or Cog rom ( it was Cog 2.2 b4 and 2.2 b6 ), a while as you can see. If you restored with TiBu, no systems apps or settings or that might cause this, like your wifi settings as many try to restore them thinking they'll save time, if not that then for me, one time it just worked after 2 days of not working, the other time (TiBu restore of wifi setting) the solution was re flash of the rom .

With your cell showing an H, that is the HSDPA high speed network not Edge, which shows an E or a 1G. That's what you want to see, lol. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Thank you tazman. Lol, I feel stupid now. Hah, I guess we all have to learn somewhere. I was just used to seeing the 3G. Thank you again :)

Bluetooth Disconnects

I'm having a little trouble with P10.2 using my Bluetooth in my car.

When I start my car the Bluetooth connects and after 60 to 90 seconds it disconnects even if I'm using it.

At first I thought it was related to the kernel but it doesn’t change even if I use a different kernel.

So now I'm thinking it maybe a setting but can't seem to find anything related to it. I know some have problems with BT and static and such but mine is crystal clear just disconnects.

I've tried all the Firebird kernels, and Speedmod. Adjusted the Wifi settings thinking they may be linked somewhere. Even tried using my car to play music thru the BT connection to see if it stays connected but nothing works.

Anyone (DG) have any suggestions?

I'm open to trying anything.

P10 by far is the best ROM I’ve tried. If I can figure out how to fix this I'm set!
[Captivate Android Development] KagaHades:

Great work DG!

CD mounts

Flashed some Animations last night and FC the phone. So I reinstalled 10.2 over 10.2. Everything went fine except the root Dir was mountung as a CD Drive!! LOL

Could not find anything on it after a search of "CD Drive" in this thead. It appeared after flashing the new Firebird kernal so I flashed Glitterballs latest and all is well

I remember editing a file using the Hex editor to change some lun files from 1-2 to 0-1 or something like that. Don't remember which file. I think it was fstab....void or something, sucks on this site

Anyone else have these issues?
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
Hey, DG, thank you for this great ROM. I flashed to this from Cognition 2.3b8 and it's running flawlessly. It's a bit strange to go back to Touchwiz, but the phone is extremely snappy.

I'm running this with the Speedmod K12Q kernel and the Chinese KP1 modem. Everything seems to be working.

The only issue I'm having is Opera Mobile seems to be pulling the font from Beautiful Widgets to display numbers (and A, P, and M). Unrelated to Perception, but kind of weird and annoying.

[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I had a similar problem, I read a bunch of fixes and tried them all, battery is better than ever now:

-firebird 2 v0.3 non-bln kernel

-znkp1 modem, also liked jl3, not sure which is better

-under settings, applications, samsung app updates set to off (wifi setting kills battery)

-also set wifi sleep policy (menu button, advanced in wifi settings) to never, don't use wifi though as it only seems to make battery worse for me

If you do all of that then calibrate the battery you should be set.

[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
I can't say for WiFi, but the bars definitely don't line up with actual signal strength the way they used to for 3G. There's a chart here with the stock FroYo reception:bars ratio, and this is about how 2.1 and 2.2 worked on my Captivate. With 2.2.1, I'm getting full bars with signal all the way down to -97 dBm, which would only barely be 4 bars (well, 3 since "0 bars" isn't the same as "no reception" on i9000 ROMs) on stock FroYo. Pretty shameful bit of deception on Samsung's part if they have mucked with that mapping.
