Would you mind passing that pipe around, I'd like a hit.

Captivate is single core.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
You can go that route or just disable lagfix and flash over cog. Works fine.

Ummm...... 1st off, the original poster of this is DesignGears (DG). And 2nd, the captivate is NOT dual core.....
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Ummmm, third off, it was complete sarcasm. Some dude is here asking what this new "DGs" ROM is. I figured I would give him an interesting and exciting (and completely made up) answer. :D

I am bored and waiting for DG to release his new kernel with audio boost (That is real, he tweet'd it a bit ago)
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Really, no comment about DG being the "Data Guy"? :)
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
That is what I would do, but you might want to hold off for a bit. Rumor has it DG is coming out with another ROM for Cog soon.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Agreed. I'm back on cog 2.3b7 since I was bored last night. Needed a flash fix. DG is enjoying those beers we bought him ;-)

It's always best to do the ol' ROM Manager install when an Odin3 flash is not provided -

1 - Flash back to stock (2.1update-1) VIA Odin3: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

2 - Master Clear VIA Odin3...

3 - Root the device... I use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304

4 - Install ROM Manager on the device VIA Market.

5 - Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. (This is Critical for ROM Manager to work.)

6 - Drop the ROM .zip file on the device VIA USB MassMediaStorage and your computers file system explorer. This is literally drag and drop or copy/paste, what ever's easier for you. You don't have to place the file in a folder. It can be placed anywhere on the ISDCard. It can also be removed once the ROM has been successfully flashed/installed.

7 - Open ROM Manager on the device and tap-select "Install ROM from SD Card" under ROM Management. (this will prompt a reboot into recovery mode. Proceed.)

8 - IF ClockWorkMod does not prompt - Use the Volume Down button to highlight "Reinstall Packages" and select this with the power button.

9 - Once ClockWork has prompted (You'll know because there will be Green Text instead of red.) Scroll down with the Vol. Down button and select "install .zip from SD card" by pressing the power button.

10 - Find where you saved the ROM.zip select it and let 'er rip!

This should ensure success.

From my understanding of the Android O/S, doing it any other way may cause adverse side affects.

I really hope for a standalone version that I can use with other custom ROMs. After using CogKernel non-OC/UV, I can't stand using anything else. Steadfast reliability, great speed.

Love Perception 10.1 but would like to change the interface to Cognition?

I have run Cognition 2.3b8 and am now on Perception 10.1 which works better on my phone, but I liked the Cognition interface better. How can I add the Cognition interface to my perception build phone? Love the different screen representation on the bottom and the all app scrolling up\down in particular from the Cognition build.

New to this forum, sorry if answered elsewhere and I couldn't find it.

[Captivate Android Development] randomafk:
i'm getting pretty bad battery drain.

i think it has to do with the modem because just having a two to three minute phone call caused a 5% battery loss. leaving my phone on airplane mode i could play around with it for ~10 minutes and only see a 1% loss in batteries

any advice?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
What is your configuration? Do a bit of reading here, there are a lot of things to try, the two major items seem to be running Speedmod kernel and JL2 modems.

[Captivate Android Development] randomafk:
i switched to speedmod which seemed to help, but I wasn't really sure because I couldn't really isolate the processes. But I'm still running the default modem that came with perception.

I tried using Power Tutor and it seemed like most of the power consumption came from the kernel and system which was why I tried flashing speedmod ov GBs steam kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I have and I already installed Firebird2. :)
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
The JL2 modem made a huge difference for me. It knocked out about 5%-8% of needless CPU utilization.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I made the switch recently, call me lazy but all I did (after a full titanium backup and nandroid) was from cwm 2.5.1.3 wipe data/cache and flash perception, didn't even disable lag fix. Everything worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
Can't seem to find a link to Firebird 2..could you please tell me where to find it?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
You have to be a beta tester.
[Captivate Android Development] dhostetter:
Quick question

I'm going to flash a different modem, Should I disable lagfix first?

Don't want to hose anything.
[Captivate Android Development] randomafk:
i can't find a CWM version of JL2

also, how much did it help during calls?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Some help needed here.

I'm kind of a noob with this modding thing. I learned how to flash a custom ROM a month ago.

I'm satisfied with Perception, I like its Samsungish look but now I want to flash a theme over it and I'm not sure how to proceed with that. I mean I know there are several themes out there but it seems that not every one of them would be compatible with every custom ROM. I looked for themes threads but they're kinda outdated (+1 month).

Could someone list some themes that should be compatible with Perception 10.1. I'm looking for a more industrial design.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
You don't need to disable lagfix, but you can always backup everything, just in case.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
You do not have too. I did not.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It did not seem to make any difference on calls for me (which is good). Here is the modem I used.
[Captivate Android Development] randomafk:
thanks

I'll try to report later to see how much it helps..

It's strange because at home it was pretty good with ~3% consumption over 6 hours but at school, where i have similar signal strenght, it's ~3% consumption for a 20 second phone call...
[Captivate Android Development] otazman:
ADW Launcher is the user desktop, thank you. But what on Cognition causes the All app drawer to scroll up and down and do the 3d type screen wrap at the end of the screen?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Yes, you should.

No doubt, never a doubt. But one question... what problem?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
If you are on wifi the battery usage is a lot less.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Just flash any theme, don't have to disable Voodoo or anything. It's really that easy :) you can try Darkness theme, it's the best IMO and I always use a (modded by me) version for every ROM I try.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah that is called a launcher. ADW is a launcher. The specific launcher in Cognition is either Launcher2 or the Gingerbread launcher. Is the dock on the bottom silver with silver icons or dark gray with green icons? Either way both have a 3D drawer. You can go for Launcher Pro, it also has the 3D wraparound drawer but is much more customizable and just better :)
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
@DG -- you should add Smartbench scores to the benchmarks posts. I'm curious. It is much better than Quadrant IMO. Places much less importance on I/O.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
ADW Launcher allows you to customize almost every aspect of the Android GUI.

It also allows you to easily swap themes or customize icons. It's so customizable it makes me wonder why anyone WOULDN'T use it...

If you're willing to pay for ADW Launcher PRO you get many more customization and effects, such as the 3D wrap around App Drawer.

Personally, and not that anyone cares, I think the 3D wrap around is ugly and doesn't really appear 3D to me. Looks more like it just squashes on the ends... lol...

But to EACH THEIR OWN!

Sent from MY Perception 10.1 on XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Seriously?

I feel just the opposite. I'm getting sick of having to rearrange everything and setup my damn Captivate every time a small update comes about.

On the other hand, usually those small updates are significant.

I've decided though that I will more than likely be staying with something from designgears. This build on Perception is by far the best ROM out there. For the Captivate anyway. I can't speak for other devices.

The guys stuff is unmatched in quality and functionality. Every other ROM out there has something that doesn't function properly, be it the camera, text messaging, email, whatever, something is always broke. Every single ROM I've used from designgears has been very thorough. Everything works well, right from the words "Install from SD Card"...

Coming from Cognition 2.3b8 I can honestly say that it just gets better and better. Literally the only gripe I have with Perception 10.1 is the lights for the buttons not working when you tap or touch the screen. But that was quickly resolved and is no longer an issue... Everything else seems Fully Functional.

So far, nothing but good times with my new Perceptive Captivate. ;)

Keep up the good work brotha!
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
That's exactly my experience with other roms as well. When it comes to reliability and longivity, no one comes near DG's roms. I'm sure whenever the REAL release of froyo comes to Captivate, DG will take it to a different level altogether.

Keep rocking.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Agreed I only do designgears roms. They seem the best of all. He works with great people too. I agree there is not much wrong with my phone at all with 10.1.

Not sure why but I have issue with some apps at first. Now they are working great again.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Thank you. Darkness theme is fine. I've got a question about it, does this theme have the 4 lockscreens option?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
This Rom has the 4 locksreens. When you change over to the Darkness Theme one you keep it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
You know the roms are in the polished stage when the "updates" are adding or removing stock apps and doing trivial things like new boot screens.

[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
This is true, it works fine for me when I have a lock up issue. Both ways work but I have a body glove 2pc hard case on mine which is a pain to get off and also wears it out so its easier to use the 3 button way.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Thanks. But excuse my ignorance, I know themes change the framework.apk then the 4 lockscreen option must be supported by the theme. Am I right?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
If the theme is based on your ROM that means it works with your ROM. Like Darkness is made for Perception, thus supports 4 lockscreens.

But yes you are right, there is the possibility that it will not support it, but it does with Darkness for sure
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
4 lockscreens is in android.policy.jar not in framework-res.apk
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Thank you. See I was lost :D
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Just flashed this as my first ROM. It's very well done, and the minor bugs really are so minor that I probably wouldn't have noticed them if I hadn't been told to look for them. The speed is great, the theme is sharp, and of course coming from stock Eclair the new supported features in Froyo are well worth it. The added features are very cool, and I enjoy how this ROM maintains the TouchWiz elements, including the Samsung Music Player with lock screen controls, which is something I was looking for.

One area of lag for me is when creating shortcuts to applications, the application list can take even longer than stock to load. However, as this is rarely done after initial setup it's not a big deal, just curious if anyone else had the same issue or if it was isolated to my install.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Real Froyo is out for the Rogers Captivate (i896), though imo it's crap and buggier and slower than Eclair. Maybe the lagfix changes the slowness of the Rogers Froyo...
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, finished day two on my current Perception config. Definitely think I will try out the JL2 modem, since my current config eats battery when the screen is off.

I have a question regarding the Speedmod kernel that I keep hearing get mentioned. Since it's not a speeder, does it slow the device much compared to Firebird or Glitterballs?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
On paper, it's nearly identical to Firebird with a few extra tweaks. Glitterballs' is a OC/UV kernel. I don't think you should be seeing a slowdown.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Doesn't slow at all for me
[Captivate Android Development] eunique:
I too experience that delay after selecting Applications when creating shortcuts...

but, to me, it's not that big a deal and everything pretty much works great for me.

Love this ROM and DG's work!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks, I'll be putting that one in now. I need the battery to last as long as technically possible. I was also going to flash on the JL2 modem instead of Telus, but I found a JI6 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835272 and was thinking about popping that one up first. Let me know what you think.

Btw, do I need to be fully charged to do so?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
JI6 is an i897 modem, bad idea to mix with i9000 kernel

And no, don't need to be charged.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Good to know. What do you suggest then?
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
jl2 and telus are both great choices. Use with speed mod or stock + voodoo i9k for great battery life (I'd say speed).
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
JL2 I guess. I think I'm running JK4 though, but I just reflashed

EDIT: just flashed JL2
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Cool, that's what I've got here. let me know how jk4 works for you. I also got the Darkness theme everybody was talking about. Does the order matter, btw? I think some instructions somebody gave was rom, modem, kernel. That right? And I can just flash the theme through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
If you like darkness, try out ginger borg. The thing is AMAZING. Never gonna use darkness again.

Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MXKI8I2L

Flash with cwm, and thanks doc for a great theme.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
No necessary order, whatever you want. JK4 is the stock one for this ROM, so not so good. Flashed JL2.

And yes, theme is for CWM
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Cool, thanks. I'll go ahead and just flash the kernel and theme then. Do I access these settings I've been hearing about in CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
What settings exactly?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Agree on the Kernel. No camera issues since I flashed it. The vodoo sound fix does NOT work with the Speedmod K12 kernel though. I downloaded iot from the market and it said kernel unsupported. I will wait for firebird 2..IM tired of flashing new ROMs every day and trying to keep one for a few weeks....
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Works for me. Using newest SpeedMod from Odin and VoodooApp works
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
The battery settings. I found them in CWM. loving darkness btw, though it doesn't change the market like I thought it would. Went ahead and flashed jl2, a few more bars than telus, but still lower on speed test than stock modem. Battery is the most important part though. I'll reset the stats in the morning. Any other modem suggestions if this doesn't work?
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
just flashed this and GB's kernal. Loving it so far! Can't get odin to see my phone (messed up USB cable) so flashing telus modem will wait but i'm going to play around with voltage settings to see if I can get in on some of this epic battery life i've been reading about.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
That wipes your stats, that's for calibrating.

And JL2 seems the best for now, try JK3 maybe, if you wish
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Do NOT, I repeat, do not oc/uv with gb unless you have odin! You can VERY easily boot loop your phone with a bad voltage table and crash.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Or just go into recovery and flash something like SpeedMod? Make sure to have an alternate kernel on your SD.

Also don't apply on boot until you've found something 100% stable.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
oh i've got ODIN, just the USB cable i've got here at home got stepped on so the pins don't lock.

I've also used heimdall on my linux install to recover a messed up flash (back in the early days of froyo cognition there was this sl4 lagfix scipt that screwed up my phone when I disabled and once again, linux came to the rescue.

Plus, I'm just trying some settings someone else posted without commiting them to boot settings (chose apply for now instead of the other option). Did this earlier and when my phone rebooted it was back to 0 for everything.

Finally, I understand your point, could I use CWM to flash perception 10.1 again to get the firebird kernal if I got stuck in a boot loop?

ps. I flashed the darkness theme (charlie murphy!!!!) and it is AWESOME. Love it! Going to flash telus modem tomorrow but with the stock modem i'm getting 4.5-5mbps download and 1.5 upload, absolutely amazing! Was getting 1.5 down and like .3 up on cog 2.3b6. Also 10 satellite lock in 30 seconds standing by the window of my brick building in downtown portland (never got a lock inside before!).
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I have used Fierbird, Glitterballs and Speedmod with Perception 10.1. IMHO they are all equal in the speed department. I'm sure someone can run a benchmark that will show a difference but in my every day use they are pretty much the same. Where they differ for me is power consumption. Speedmod, despite the name, seems to give me the best battery life. Just my .02. Remember, your mileage may vary.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
JL2 gives me the best battery life.

i bricked captivate, and stuck at att screen i cant get into download mode, and ive tried the battery pulled out, open odin, vol. up and down plugged in to get into recovery but nothing happens but battery logo.
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
Try a different usb cable. reboot the pc. then (after leaving battery out with no cable plugged in)

open odin

hold volume buttons

plug cable (holding buttons)

if that doesn't work try recovery

hold power and the volume buttons (no cable connected) if you can get sbl 3e recovery flash a ROM

a few seconds after it boots you will want to let go of power or it will just reboot
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
If you are using this ROM, it's an I9000 base. The 3 button mode won't work.

First, open Odin3.

Ready your USB cable. DO NOT PLUG IN USB CABLE YET! <- IMPORTANT

Make sure the device is off.

Take the battery out so you can remove your SIM card. SIM card must be removed.

Put the battery back in. DO NOT POWER UP THE DEVICE OR PLUG IT IN!

Hold Volume Up AND Volume Down at the same time but DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON.

Once the download mode screen is up plug your USB cable in and Odin3 should immediately recognize your device. (COM4 should pop up in the first box.)
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
3 buttons gets recovery mode

i always leave my sims in.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
He asked how to get into DOWNLOAD mode, not recovery mode...

It's always a good idea to remove the SIM card if there is any data on it. However if the SIM card is empty it can in fact be left in.

I store all my contacts on my SIM card so I always remove it. I had my SIM card get wiped out on one of the first ROMs I installed via Odin3...
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
ouch, in that case i would surely remove mine as well :)

and begin using google for contacts ;)

The fix is actually in the kernel itself. The app from the market allows you to access the settings.
