Was that flash to stock eclair, stock froyo, or stock gingerbread?

I used the method described in the op of a thread here on xda. The thread had a package that included the stock jvb rom with sbl, xcal's kernel, a 512 PIT file, an updated modem, ugjk4 to be exact, a root module, the home button fix, and the crt lock enable fix. I would post the link, but I am on my phone and don't have it handy. Just search for "stock jvb package for captivate" on xda. As soon as I can, I will edit this post with the correct link. The thread contains detailed instructions, and make sure you follow them to a T. Especially the part about deselecting repartition when it says to. I forgot to disable repartition on the last step and got a boot loop and had to start over.

[EDIT]Ok so I found the link to the instructions I followed, along with everything you need to get stock gingerbread on a cappy. Here is the thread that I found to flash stock jvb. Hope this helps anyone who is having problems or is unsure of where to start.[/EDIT]

Did anyone else have an Issue with 3g reverting to edge coverage after awhile? That was on Beta 1. Just thought I'd put that out there.

[Edit]

Just flashed flashed Beta II and I dont have 3g still and I used to. Whats going on?

[Edit Again]

I just tried to connect to tmobile and it failed and then went back to the home screen and it said "Refreshing Sim Card" or sim card data or whatever and now I have 3G, actually H, same dif. lol
[Captivate Android Development] drew68:
Had same issues. Changed the modem and resolved my issues, there is a thread about gingerbread modems

I've had problems with all the i9000 modems with my current phone. FROYO and Ginerbread. I lose signal all the time, bounces around Edge, 3G and HSPA. Just not reliable at all. This was a phone I got warranty exchange, and it's a 1006 build. My last phone never had that problem.

The most reliable modem I've used is the stock FROYO modem. Never have a problem running on that modem.

minor problems

I'm currently running beta 2 with taloon 1.4 with chainfire lag fix... just some minor problems i have:

1.) landscape doesnt work for any of my applications

2.) when i open phone... its close suddenly.

3.) the battery charges up to 97% (i have to unplug then replug to get up to 100%, might take 3-4 attempts)

other than that its a terrific rom.... thanks dg..... just wondering what majority of u r using for the modem... im using the stock modem...
[Captivate Android Development] BWheezy:
I found the new rom right when Beta II was released, I'm running it with UGKC1 on ATT. This ROM is AMAZING, reasonably good battery life and everything just works. It took some hokey pokey to get a GB bootloader and upgrade my way to beta II and a modem that worked well, but this seems to be a great setup now.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Yeah, after a few days I noticed mine bouncing all over the place. Back to Cog 411 now...Just not a fan of i9000 ROM's GB or not.
[Captivate Android Development] jennyngo24:
Is it just me or anyone else has blurry icons ( messaging, download, gallery...) after flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] jennyngo24:
I don't know why I can't use CWM anymore. When I adb reboot recovery, the screen displays blurry image and stops. Please help
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Can you open CWM and re-install Recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
regular flash as any other modems?
[Captivate Android Development] jennyngo24:
I can open CMW. But when I choose REboot into CWM recovery, it reboots, displays lines, them stops.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I think he was Hinting at/saying to re-install CWM recovery from Rom Manager.

Have you tried re-down loading the recovery update.zip then going into stock recovery and re applying it? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
This file can be done from cwm 3, yes

[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
This is a known issue caused by the launcher that I believe has been fixed in beta II. A link to a high res launcher was posted a few pages back. Or, once you get your CWM issue sorted out you can flash to the newest beta. =)
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Ok, so when I woke up today, I had a slight issue. I checked my phone for any messages and missed calls. The status bar reported three missed calls, so I opened the status bar and clicked the link. My Phone app launched, then immediately exited. So I clicked the Phone link on my homescreen, which brought up the dial pad properly. When I clicked the call log tab, however, it IMMEDIATELY exited. No fc, no freeze, just closed like I had pressee the back button. I tried again from the dockbar and from the app drawer, with the same results. I checked all of the running apps and services, and I couldn't find any thing that might cause a conflict.

I fixed the issue by rebooting. However, when I did get my call log opened, I only had two missed calls, instead of the three that was reported in the status bar.

Found 2 uncompiled png files in b3. Not sure if they're used.

Email.apk/res/drawable/email_icon_btn.9.PNG

Email.apk/res/drawable/email_icon_btn_press.9.PNG

Ah, uppercase PNG messes up the compiler.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Excuse me if I am slow, but I thought a .9.png file was compiled? I understand that upercase PNG messes up the compiler, but the file wouldn't have the .9.png if it wasn't compiled, would it?

Again, forgive me of my ignorance, but in the apps I have written, all of the images are simply .png until I compile and export, then they become .9.png files.

[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Does anybody have more detailed installation instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Only .9.png is seen by the compiler, the rest are not touched. So if you wanted to make a 9-patch file you would have an image, say email_icon_btn.png which is 18x46 and drag it into draw9patch, draw the lines and save as email_icon_btn.png and it will save it as email_icon_btn.9.png which is 20x48 (with patches visible). Then compiling it will create a file named email_icon_btn.9.png and be 18x46 again. The patches are compiled into it.
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:
Well if your on a gb rom then just go to cwrecovery then clear dalvik catch then flash rom. If not on gb go to continuum 5 thread and flash EXACTLY the way it says then . Wipe dalvik catch and flash rom
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
I'm coming from stock.

I tried installing perception on top of continuum (through CWM recovery 3), and honestly, it was a mess-- slow and buggy from the start.

Now that I'm on stock, I'd like to follow the best possible directions so I know that I'm seeing perception run the way it was intended.

Can I install this from CWM recovery 2.5? (This is what comes with the stock gingerbread install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045734)
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Follow the install instruction as it is from MikeyMikey01 GR-12 rom. I found the best and simple instruction to follow without getting too confused. Also, make sure you download the file mentioned in step #1, it's the important part of Gingerbread installation. In step #13 you can put GB rom of your choice. :)

The new camera app looks nice. It has 8MP and flash options though.

The power button toggles touchscreen lock instead of taking a picture?

Don't use higher than 5MP... they turn out lower than 5MP.

[Captivate Android Development] pj1000:
This is my second time I've had a problem with TW4. Same symptoms both times - laggy when putting apps onto pages... all the way to freezing up. Wait a while and sometimes it unfreezes sometimes not, sometimes FCs sometimes not, but the phone runs very very slow from then on until I reboot. Beta2 worked perfectly for me. I cleared dalvic and installed Beta3 per DG instructions. I remember this problem on my phone for previous install, but I had to option to go back to TW3 and it all cleared up. Ideas anyone? I like TW4 but it doesn't like me right now.

Followup: Upping to TalonDev 0.1.6 didn't help. It seems that the TW4 lag/FC starts if you happen to miss the square outline slightly when moving apps onto one of your pages.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
TalonDEV-0.1.6 is up for those interested.. quite a few updates, should prevent any "lag" or lockup issues in 0.1.5
[Captivate Android Development] Xtracter:
TW4 i think is not that great to begin with.. i highly recommend Launcher Pro..
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
thank, i will drop that in the next release, I was wondering where all the "lag" was coming from.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea it took me a few to figure it out, seems that with the new OOM rework/fixes I added it changed how apps were being killed. With the new way it doesnt base killing processes by the process run-time, but bases it on the amount of memory being used. For example if you had proccess A running which is a long time, high memory process, then process B is ran and uses memory to where it kicks OOMKiller in, in the new way it would kill process A since it was using more memory...but with the old way, it would kill process B, since A was running longer.. It seemed with those changes it was causing weird random lockups for about 5-10s then it would resume fine.. so reverting it back to the old way, seems to fix it

Im having reboots when I turn off the screen. I did convert to ext 4, put on the crysis theme, converted to ext4, and installed another keyboard with his rom installed. And the reboots aren't full ones either. It only reboots to the bootanimation. Why am I having this?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Probably cause by an incompatible theme.

[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
I got this also. Flashed over continuum 1.5, no theme, master/dalvic/cache clear.
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> ('All' Tab) -> Clear Data.

This will also wipe the desktop so you'll have to repopulate, but you'll get all the soft buttons back.
[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
So I'm assuming that you mean to clear data on the touch wiz launcher.

After I did that I still only have one icon on my dock
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Im on Continuum right now so I cant try this atm, however, I did a master clear (which would clear everything including that) when I saw I only had the applications button, no difference.

Thats when I gave up and loaded something else.

lol just switched from continuum to this.....ran continuum for about 2 minutes lmao

Lets see how this one goes.........generally love designgears roms (cognition etc..)

Hey DG,

I just flashed from Beta 2 to beta 3, restoring my apps and data but I will say from originally flashing to the original Beta 1 from Phoenix Unleashed, Perception 2 seems to be giving me the best battery life to date so far. While not perfect it is damned stable and now I cannot go back to Froyo roms lol.

HTH,

you can add whatever you want to the bottom just hit the applications icon then hit the menu button and edit then drag whatever you want down by the apps icon

How do you toggle 2G/3G?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
To toggle 2g/3g, go to settings > wireless and network > mobile network > network mode. Selecting gsm sets it to 2g, selecting wcdma sets it to 3g, and selecting gsm/wcdma auto let's the phone choose based on signal strength.

Is anyone else experiencing the inability to make Voltage Control Ex settings stick on boot (this includes having to set the max freq to 1200)? I have tried reinstalling busybox but that didn't work. Any ideas?

I have had this problem since Beta 1 combined with the Talon kernels since 0.1.3 or 4, whichever had OC/UV enabled.

I came from Continuum to Perception, is it possible that I needed to go back to stock GB first?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
DG or Existz may have to talk with some of the other devs to see how this was resolved with other ROMs. CM7 had the issue to begin with, but it was resolved in the Escapist's kernel later.
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
I started getting the voltage settings problem when I flashed beta 3 last night. I didn't have any problems with it before. I added Talon's 0.1.6 last night and still had the same problem.

I've also been having problems with the task manager since beta 3. Anytime I try and end all programs on it, it just locks up. It doesn't force close, it just sits there and is unresponsive. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am getting insane lag from yesterday...anyone knows the reason and how to get rid of it???
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
I noticed massive lag when I first flashed beta 3, and it got worse when I upgraded to 0.1.6. I also noticed many instances of freezing, no fc's, just frozen up, and forcing a reboot to fix it.

I ended up rolling back to talon 0.1.4, and my phone is snappier than ever! The only problem that I have had since flashing 0.1.4 is earlier, I pressed the power button to wake my phone, and got no lock screen, just an unusable status bar and my walpaper. The power off menu still worked, so I did a reboot and has been great since!

Anyone know if I can flash an update to get home haptic working without upgrading to beta 3?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Dg what are the chances of you developing a ginger kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Agreken:
Thank the gods DG is back!!

Now, question. I got pretty comfortable with ROMing with 2.2, but now I've patched up to 2.3.3 with Haikaido's ROM. Is it safe to Odin 1-click back to 2.1 and apply PII or does having the bootloaders muck everything up? I really can't afford another brick :(

On kernels, ya...a GB Firebird would be awesome!!
[Captivate Android Development] dwmoss:
I believe since you already have the gb bootloaders you don't have to flash back to stock.

Make sure ext is not enabled, wipe davlik cache, and flash PII through clockwork.

Maybe those more knowledgeable will chime in.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Actually, you can flash back to 2.1, just MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT flash the 2.1/2.2 sbl!! In other words, use Odin3 v1.7. DO NOT use Odin One Click or Odin 3 Button Fix.

If you are going to Perception II, you don't even need to disable ext4. The Talon kernel included in Perception II is ext4 compatible.

You need CWMv2.5 for the flash of Perception II beta 1. The other PII roms, beta 2 and beta 3, are CWM3 zips. Installing PII beta 1 will give you CWM3, since it will install Talon Kernel, which includes CWM3.

In a nutshell, as long as you have the GB bootloaders, you can flash PII as long as you have the correct CWM installed. Simply reboot into CWM, clear cache/dalvik cache, and flash away!

Note, PII beta 2 is an update rom, so you have to have beta 1 before you flash beta 2. On the other hand, beta 3 is a full wipe install, so I would guess it can be flashed without beta 2, but I am not positive.
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
anyone else having problems with their Gallery app lagging and sometimes completely locking up? it's been a problem since the first beta, but only lagging.... now on Beta 3, sometimes it locks up completely and i have to pull the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Here you go.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I am assuming you are joking, but if not, I would flash back to Perception 10 completely, or you can pull the kernel out of the Perception10 zip file.
[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
I've flashed Cognitions and Perceptions 4-9 multiple times but I can't get this one to work! Any help?

What I've been doing:

1) Odin to Stock

2) Root the phone with recovery mode update package

3) DL & install CWRM

4) Put Perception 10 on SD card

5) Open CWRM Click Install from SD Card, select P10. Click grant superuser permission.

6) Enjoy....??

Every time I do step 5 though it just brings me to:

Android System recovery (2e)

Samsung Recovery Utils

-for BML-

With the 4 options for reboot/reinstall/delte user data/delete cache data.

If I click reinstall it says can't find update.zip. If I rename P10 to update.zip it will start to open update package then just say "Installation Aborted."

I've tried the process twice with starting over from Odin twice.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
After having ran Cog2.3b6 since it's release I'm now flashing this. Looks good. Looking forward to seeing how it works for me.

Wish me luck!

Thanks DG, out there doing what I just won't find time for. props.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
How's the GPS on this rom? Is it fixed or not?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Just skip the rooting and CWRM and use the update.zip (reinstall packages after you reboot into recovery). I just drop the update.zip on the internal sd card, boot into recovery, reinstall and then load the new rom from zip. That is the cleanest, fastest way to go IMHO.
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
It's alright. I prefer the GPS from assonance better, but I don't use it that often.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
How about on Cognition? Which one has the best GPS?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
That was your first mistake, but now that you've done it I suppose you need to get the proper CWM recovery update.zip on the sdcard and hit reinstall packages a couple of times then choose the Perception 10 zip from the sdcard (don't rename it to 'update.zip') and flash. After you get it working stop flashing to stock unless you really have a good reason to do so.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I use this one as well and really like it...
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Assonance in my opinion. A>P>C IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
But do you think Perception is better than Cognition in overall features? I just can't make up my mind which one would I use, it's my first time to flash a Rom. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] tcortinag:
I have Cog installed and I love it, also reading all posts to make up my mind to install P10 or stay with Cog.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It depends on what you want.

Perception is an I9000 based ROM (Non-Captivate). That means it is generally more cutting edge, but there are some issues inherent to running a non-captivate ROM. (All easy to overcome if you read) It is very fast and things like Bluetooth Dial work.

Cog2.3b8(?) is a Captivate base ROM, so everything looks like a Captivate to the network. It is fast and stable, but I prefer Perception over Cog (I have run the latest version of both).

Just make sure you read about backing up data and the correct steps to flash. I would hate for you to start with a bricked phone on your first try. :)
