This is under light/moderate use on the weekend.

I normally make it throughout the day (15 to 18 hrs) during the weekdays with wifi on "sleep when screen off" and my wifi is always on. I use gps when driving but that doesn't count as the car dock charges the phone.

Edit: Oh yeah, Samsung Apps are set to off under settings, applications, Samsung Apps. Makes a big difference for me.

Kernel and modem original to Perception 10.1

This was 1hr+ of phone calls

2hrs 43 minutes wifi

53 mins screen on

15 to 20 mins angry birds

15 or so texts

20 min Electro Droid

I had horrible battery until enabling the "sleep when screen off" option for wifi which I never had to do before. I also seem to stay on HSDPA so no looking for a different service which can run down the battery.

Good battery life can be had if your settings are right and of course anything with heavy screen time and data use will seriously degrade that. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] eramming:
I love this rom especially with the gb kernel but my phone hated it.it would just randomly shut off particularly during the first 10% of battery use.i tried everything to fix it.i gave up, sleep death was the death of me! Never had this problem before this using cognition or darkys.
[Captivate Android Development] onelight:
Had exact same problem as u with the first 10% battery my phone would shut off in standby...i alcohol swabbed the battery pins with a q-tip as someone on another thread suggested and started using the speedmod kernel on this rom and for the past 4 days haven't had random shutdowns and battery life is really good. The alcohol swab didn't work for everyone and i still have more testing to see if it continues to work but so far so good...

Warning: do not put battery back in phone if pins are not completely dried.

Update: I had a power shutdown again after a full charge within the first 10% so i'm thinking it is either the kernel update or just not enough testing as mentioned before...
[Captivate Android Development] hostilebynature:
ive flashed every single rom on this board.

this is by far the best rom ive ever used.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
How the hell do you get this? Lol. I've been trying to get something like that for a while. I managed to get through my 8 hour shift with data disconnected and get no lower than 50%. I almost NEVER use wifi and gps, brightness, and sync are all off. I think the BT 3.0 Profile is more energy efficient than previous ones, but dang.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Like I said, light/moderate use on the weekend, wifi set to sleep on screen off, brightness is auto, gps is off except in the truck or checking something specific, samsung apps notification set to off, weather update every 30 mins, facebook once a day (I manually do it more often), most other syncs, etc., set to manual.

On a normal day I get 15 to 18 hrs use before I have to plug in to recharge, that might be off though as my car dock charges the phone while mounted using bluetooth and gps which use quite a bit of juice.

I usually do get fairly good life and have with just about every Cog and Perception rom. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
Just thought I would report back after running with Jl2 for 4 days. My battery life is MUCH improved. Now I easily see 20+ hours of medium usage. I will report back with continuous (WiFi, GPS, BT) when I have a chance to run for 8 hours with no display usage. AND compare to 10.1 stock modem - same test. Batch 1007 - Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok. Most of my syncs are set for no less than 2 hours and I keep the account syncs off until I need them. I've got brightness off and minimized, BT is a big thing for me. I heard someone on some topic mention disabling bands not used by AT&T, but not sure what he meant.

Once I get back home, I'll do a charge death run. Too bad nobody has come up with an app for that, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
how does the gps compare to other recent roms?
[Captivate Android Development] ew5742:
How are you able to get BT voice dialing to work? The built in voice dialer App will launch if I open it from the phone but it won't respond to any commands. This is a big deal to me, something I've missed dearly from day one.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
GPS is totally awesome in this rom. First fix was done indoors and in about 30 seconds. All my other fixes after that were less than 10 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Battery Life

So here's my experience on battery:

I use it moderately, downloaded/updated about 30 apps today on wifi. Had wifi on for a total of probably 40 minutes. Checking email manually 15 or 20 times during the day. Used GPS for about 15 minutes. Bluetooth is always on but connected for about 1.5 hours during the day. Probably about 30 minutes of talk time. Playing about 10 to 20 minutes of games.

It's now 13 hours in and I'm at 61% so I honestly have to say the batt life is not that different then previous ROMs I've used.

Bottom line, I'm very satisfied with the battery usage. That said, when I'm on call in the hospital, I still keep an extra battery around but on normal days, I think this set up will last me all day just fine!!

Also, performance wise, this kernel/ROM is UBER snappy!! Texts/emails everything happens so much faster then before. It is very noticeable. DG --> Dinner's on me buddy!! Or you can use the moolah for your atrix/infuse fund. I'm snagging an atrix as soon as I can as you are so I'll be waiting for your concoction. 79D0648546733181Y

Peace Y'all and enjoy MLK day manana.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
It's actually super easy. You may need to set it as the default option for when you press the button on your BT headset. It works better than Vlingo for me. You may also want to make sure your headset has the right options under settings.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Is there a way to change to the nifty vertical conveyor belt app drawer that all of the other ROMs seem to use? This is the one thing I do not like about this rom. I love the reasonable 5 icon home launchpad on this ROM. Everyone else uses the damn 3 button phone/app drawer/brower launchpad and it feels like a bizarre limited waste of space to me. I can give a crap if I can change home pages by clicking on the sides. I want those 2 buttons back so I do not have to put email and messaging up above! It looks crappy! Why don't ROM makers use a more functional launch pad like this 5 button one?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
My phone was 100% spot on with Perception 10.1. Firebird/2 is not Bluetooth enabled for dial, Firebird 1 and Speedmod both work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Get Launcher Pro and you can have both the 5 items and the stock app drawer, even 3D it and that's all in the basic/free version.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
I tried that before. It does not have the same look and feel for either the launchpad or the app drawer. The app drawer scrolls and looks kind of the same, but it does not have the same bouncy response that the ROM drawers have. The launchpad does not have the solid transparent look as the Perception launchpad.

I really just want the app drawer from the other ROMS, and the launchpad from this Perception ROM. If there is an app like launcher pro that can do this, that works to.

Can I replace system apk files and get this to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Um, did you check out the settings and see? I know there is an elasticity setting for somethings in LPP, not to mention multiple docks and you can probably find a theme that works if it doesn't. Might be easier than replacing system files.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Yes I messed with it for quite a while. I could not reproduce the same look and feel as the software that the ROM makers are using. The launchers that the ROM makers use feel more "professional" or something.
[Captivate Android Development] AdoptedDeV:
whoa... I found a 4mb zip... and a 12mb .bin file and finally some kinda 178 monster in the i9000 forum... which do I go with ?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Have to disagree as many of the launchers are almost copies of launcher pro. I have custom icons, drawer backgrounds, icon glows, menu elasticities and tweaked the settings to the point that no other launcher can compare, especially a launcher with a rom that is on base settings.

Just look at the rom's first page and they usually say what launcher they are using, launcher 2, launcher pro, ADW, Go Launcher, modded Tw, etc. There are a ton of them. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
What launcher does Perception use?

Edit: nvm, found it touchwiz
[Captivate Android Development] AdoptedDeV:
touchwiz

which is I think stock

[Captivate Android Development] MrOpportunity:
update works perfectly, DG = awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Will the home haptic fix be removed when you flash a new theme? I saw someones haptic fix relied on modded frameworks, so I'm just curious. I think I wanna go back to Perception for a bit, though Cognition is beastly.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
cant wait to try perception

I was able to root my captivate and flash to the 2.2 JI6 leaked version of Froyo. Love it.. but i cannot since then re-root my phone. Ive tried the super oneclick and get error messages all the way down. I've installed everything i think i need to. Anyway.. the ROM looks sweet, and as soon as i get this figured out i will definitely check it out..
[Captivate Android Development] Natascha303:
Hello Friends,

im very new to all this, additionally no native american speaker :)

Hope you cann help out.

Im right now on a Custom 2.2.1 JPY6 Rom. When i want to flash to Perception 10, can i just flash over the current rom or have i go to stock back ?

And anybody can provide me the latest download link with all updates to perception?

many thanks and greets from european

natascha
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Nice, downloading now. :D
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Regarding the known issue "Ringer and notification volume not linkable", I was able to overcome this in another ROM using QuickSettings app from the market. I am sure it will probably work with Perception as well. Just though I would mention it for those that want this feature.

Also, the Stay Awake feature seems to be removed from Froyo 2.2.1. I was able to get this to work using the Stay Awake app available in the Market.
[Captivate Android Development] Xaroxantu Zero:
Nevermind, stupid question.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Yes. Flash through recovery:-)
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Well, I did the update only, from 10.1 to 10.2, then had to update from Firebird2 #9 to #13. My modem did not change to the default (very good as the GPS was great). The only software I lost was the Dolphin HD browser from my Home page.

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
I flashed denas new androgalaxy theme on 10.1 and it looked pretty good.when I upgraded to 10.2, it kinda messed the theme up. (Battery indicator and pull down notification menu back to captivate stock look.) No bueno. I disabled voodoo before I flashed the theme and did a nand backup. Can I flash the same or another theme over this? Or do I need to restore my backup and start over?
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Just flash the theme back over it. It'll work fine. Test the android screen lock afterward since that's what was changed (jog_tab_bar*.png and android.policy.jar).

Edit: Sorry, don't do that. It'll crash. The new framework-res.apk has to be used as a base.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I have the Darkness 2.5.1 working with Perception 10.2 with Circle C battery icons and a new themed dark market, all working well. Link is in my Sig for those interested. :cool:

4 Quick Questions: :)

1.) when i VOL down the system Volume, why doenst it store? always i come back, it's turned to max

2.)in Perception 10.2 with no additions, is there a lagfix enabled by default ?

3.)why is the GPS much more accurate when UNCHECKED wlan, mobile data and sensor. Always thought it's more accurate when using all of them

4.)You are in the US and im in Europe, so do i have to get another Modem than JK4 ? (For better results in whatever) or is JK4 international
[Captivate Android Development] Krynn!:
The only time it does that to me is when after I launch Google Nav. That app always maxes out the system volume, and it doesn't reset it when you exit Nav.

Yes.

The GPS is much more accurate when your phone is not transmitting or receiving over it's modem. WiFi don't seem to matter at all. Case in point: a friend of mine did a test this past weekend. He disabled mobile data and connected his phone using WiFi to his wife's mobile hotspot and went for a drive. Normally, his GPS is just about unusable, but this time he got perfect results.

JK4 should work just fine for you. It just defaults to 850.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I have not tried removing it but I do think it is integrated in some way into the kernel. I am using SM K12O kernel and in CWM recovery there is a switch to enable/disable BLN. I think the same switch is in Firebird and Firebird 2 kernels as well.
[Captivate Android Development] rohitpsk:
you can do that but it can make the cell a bit unstable (at least mine was made unstable)

better option would be to go for a clean install;

-1. download the perception 10.2(or whichever version you want)

0. backup all you need - contacts/apps/sysdata/settings etc (use Tibu for anything other than contacts)

1. do the ODIN clean up (available in the first page of captivate page)

2. root - using one click root.

3. copy the ROM to ur sd card (rename it to update.zip{sometimes the original name may give some probs})

4. install rom manager and clockwork mod (availble in market) - give the superuser permissions to the mod.

5. install the new ROM using ROM manager.....

6. restore everything you need....

Enjoy the new ROM

All the best!

Cognition / Perception

I know in the Cognition 3.02 thread it says that all other versions are obsolete, does that mean Perception as well? Are both supposedly combined into the New Cognition? or is Perception still going?

Perception was just updated to 10.2. Cog thread means all previous Cog versions are obsolete and, in other words, DG doesn't want the thread clogged with posts about the previous versions.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
perception is the active ROM.....see the OP and for the changelog and you'll notice just today 10.2 was released.
[Captivate Android Development] dhostetter:

I have to say thanks for the great ROM and making 10.2 a flashable upgrade.

This is honestly the best my phone has run since I bought it!

Any opinion on which is the better ROM Cog3 or P10.2? I'm currently on P10.1.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Perception is i9k, cog is cap. It depends on the modem you want to use and the kernels a well. Imho, perception is better. 10.2 is a small update only to do some cosmetic fixes to the lock screens and fix the home haptic feedback. Both of which I'm fine without, so I'm sticking with perception 10.1.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Bln control is in no way at All a part of the kernels it is compatible with. It merely controls the bln kernel abilities. Disable bln and delete it's data before installing, otherwise issues will occur. If they do pop up, reinstall bln and enable, disable, delete data, and uninstall. this has fixed all problems I have recreated and created due to bln control app.

Edit: that switch disables bln on the kernel level, making the app useless until it's restored in the kernel again. basically the app will not see that the kernel can use bln and will disable by default.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
What are your thoughts on this dg???????

I know for a fact it's integrated into the Kernel. It has to be in order for it to take control over the hardware...

In order for BLN Control to function as it's supposed to it requires more than just permission to access the Kernels files...

This is why the apps description explicitly states that "This app *REQUIRES* a kernel with BLN mod"...

What this means is that it requires a kernel that has been enabled with the BLN instructions and permissions to take over control of the hardware in the manner that it does.

What this means, is that Firebird kernel has been modded to allow BLN Control full control over the LED Button hardware instructions. I can't even begin to explain how much of a BAD idea this is.

Other apps, such as "keep the lights on", only overrides the time-out period for the buttons on a "software level", if you will... Which is why it only requires that the phone be rooted.

BLN control assumes complete control over the buttons. It actually accesses Kernel binary functions. Which is why it requires a compatible Kernel.

dg knows this but hasn't spoken up about it. I really would like to know his thoughts on this... Although, apparently he likes the BLN mod because he even included it in his FB2 kernel... VERY DISAPPOINTING.

I was prepared to provide a very large donation to dg after I had first installed this ROM. I was very impressed with the work... That is, until I ran into this issue and dug a little deeper... No donation for you my friend...

I think this app has some serious issues and I do NOT recommend it to anyone.

I really don't want to have to tinker with swapping out kernels and what not, but if I can't uninstall the app without causing the kernel to flip out on me, I will be forced to find another kernel...

I have even gone to the extent of re-flashing the ROM. Again, each and every time I remove the app there are random residual affects on the buttons. I don't want the app on my device. Further more, any app that causes these types of affects should be scrutinized for it's operational logic...

I also feel that it's careless and short sighted that an app integrated into the kernel was forcefully included in a ROM.

At any rate...

I'm unable to locate any BLN "switch" in CWM Recovery...

Where did you find it at exactly within CWM Recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Thanks for making an update from 10.1 to 10.2 ! Looks like I will be buying you another beer or donating to those phones on the 25th. Once again thanks for all your hard work with both rom's and your kernel!

Note: If you have a theme applied you will most likely need to re-flash the theme, at least I did with Cezar's theme.

Hmmm what's with the "Smoothest stock experience" doing on Perception's thread :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Desg90000:
it wont boot up without haveing lagfix enabled or it just reboots still cant get it working
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I understand you have frustrations with blk, I have seen too many of your post with it. I understand that you do not want to donate due to it. But why NOT try a different rom then rather than complaining about issues YOU HAVE with it. For most it seems they do like it and it has its functions. I for one totallly prefer to have the option to use it. For me it makes it SO MUCH more practical to be able to just look at my phone while the screen is off since I work in a loud work are and do not always feel the vibration rather than having to unlock and use more battery just to see if I have a email, text message, or missed phone call. I think this IS something our captivates should of came with imho. And I do NOT HAVE any battery issues with getting 20-24 hours when I am off work ( better reception throughout the day) and at least 10 hours at work with sometimes no or little signal throughout the day. I am also have 3 active widgets that update every 2 hours. Read a few different forums, get at least 10 calls and about 20-50 text a day. So I do not have any the battery drain issues others seems to have. I just last night switched to the chinese modem to see how much % I lost overnight not plugged in and it went from 76% to 72% over the 11 hours last night. BLN is always activated and keep the lights on for when in use. Samsung app set to off. Hardly use wiring except on occasion since downloads seems faster. I have about 219 apps installed. So basically your issues are yours and these toms are free or free to donate. If you do not like it then free will let's you use a different rom and complain over there too. Not trying to be an ass or say YOU do not have issues. Just saying that one thing I have seen here is that our captivates are not all the same and can work slightly different. Mine is a 1007 build and hardly EVER have any issues. My wifes is a 1010 build and I only set it up to run Cog. 2.3b6 (Since that Cog. Version worked awesome on my phone and I wanted to keep hers purely captivate)but it had random sleep issues so I switched hers to Cog. 2.3b8 and no issues at all. Just showing that these phones all can work just a little different. Ok done with this comment. Sorry just tired of seeing your bln rants and nothing else productive.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Same thing with Voodoo Sound. Dude we have all removed the app without issues. It's probably user error. I have even flashed BLN kernels and never INSTALLED the app in the first place. Think about it; wouldn't the wifi toggle be accessing a kernel function? That's stored in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
in the recovery, you should see something along the lines of "clockwork advanced settings" and right below it "speedmod kernel advanced settings", where you can enable lag fix, root, etc etc etc.... one of the settings in the menu is BLN enable/disable.
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
So how exactly do we install this update from 10.1 to 10.2? Just flash the zip with cwm? Sorry for the newbie question, am fairly new to flashing roms, just happy I don't own a paper weight at the moment :). Also, excellent work DG, went from cog2.3b8 to perception 10.1 and I'm loving it. Also the screenshot shows the different lock screens, but I only have the 9 dot pattern lock?

hi, im looking for a blackberry function in my android.

the ability to keep a set amount of days of sms messages.

email is linked to gmail, and only the inbox is synced, so that keeps that synced.

but i dont need to see over 1000 sms to my lass, nor do i wish to delete the entire thread, nor do i have the time / patience to delete the messages separately.

i dont care about backing them up, i just want the old ones to be gone!
