Hmm...is there a way to fix the 50% signal fix itself. It keeps removing/hiding my simcard contacts.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
You can delete the apk (can't remember its name.. but its on here a few pages back) or just go in flight mode when you boot, It will bring your sim contacts back. (I personnaly only had to do it twice and next bootup were fine)

Hey guys, a couple days ago there was talk about how Launcher Pro was draining battery and using too much memory resources. What alternate launchers are you guys using again? There's so many to choose from now I thought it'd be better to ask you guys here...
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I personally love ADW Ex (paid version). Although, I've seen Dev suggest 3d launcher or Zoom Launcher.

I guess you can try their free version and go from there but ADW has been great for me + it barely use any ram :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Also on ADW Ex... have tried most of the launchers but always seem to come back to ADW. Might be out of familiarity, but nothing else seemed to impress me enough to make a switch.

Had the same issue my usb cable was working fine until 2.7.. then out of the blue on 2.8+ i got a "Usb not recognizied" message and Odin was also not detecting the phone.

Did a full wipe (master reset/wipe dalvik,etc..) and a fresh 3.0 install and that's when my usb came back. Did not change any driver on the computer.

Alternate Modem Flashes

jde984 ,

Which one would you recommend? Or which one is the most popular the problem I am having? I appreciate you linking the thread for me. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Sadly, it is very hard to suggest a modem as every phone react different to them as well as your area will affect it.

Your best bet is to try the one in the thread he linked, each of them for about a day.. Until you find one that works for you. Also, if you flash one and have barely to no signal, go right ahead and flash another one.. don't wait :rolleyes:

Go and ADW appear to be the most popular alternatives to Launcherpro (not counting the samsung default touchwiz, of course), but I've seen many posts about Zeam, which seems to be nearly as popular as these 3.

Do I have to update from 2.8 to 2.9 before I go to 3.0? Also, do i have to flash a new kernel to run 3.0?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Update sequentially

Use whichever kernel you'd like.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
The name of this apk is xtr50fix-v1.apk

If you really wish to get rid of it so you don't see it again, you can simply uninstall it as you would any other app. It will show up near the bottom of your list of apps, if you choose the "All" tab in "Manage Applications."

Don't fret about your sim contacts. They are still there. You may have to reboot to see them again.

Will there be an announcement in this thread once the phoenix guys release a gingerbread rom? Currently I only follow this one and wanted to know if I should be following others.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
i'm sure someone will let the secret out ;)
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Just to follow up. After having to reflash due to my phone having a boot loop after a bump charge, I keep running into force closes upon startup and general stability issues (force closes resulting in shutdowns, sometime contacts dont appear, other anomalies) so im flashing back to stock 2.2 for the moment.

Has anyone else run into these issues while doing a bump charge on firefly 3.0?

[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Ok, so there is an issue there. Weird. I had to get into recovery mode and reinstall the rom from my SD card to get out of it.

I wonder what could be causing this though. Its like charging death but happens seemingly at random. With this phone being my daily driver and all stability is probably the most decisive feature for me. Ive never had an issue with Firefly though until now.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
It could be some bad flash/data. If you clear your cache/dalvik and flash full FF 3.0, it should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ashah000:
I don't see it being a bad flash when it worked fine for over a day and I had restarted it multiple times. Maybe something got corrupted? Re-flashed and it's working now. Yeah for Ti Backup!!

This a full collaboration of Team Phoenix. I will be bringing all the FF goodies over to Mosaic as well. Just might take some time. We need a bit of time to make the first release more fine tuned and then the real meteor shower will begin. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] 4n6science:
Just flashed 3.0 last night and I have not encountered any problems so far. Everything seems to be working fine.

This is a nice ROM. I like all the customizable features. I'm like a kid in the candy store. Definitely going to stick to this ROM for a while.

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
I agree. I too use a solid black background (really just a tiny transparent gif), and this was the only rom I have found that had a solid black notification bar. I can deal with the gradient, though, since Firefly has the best UI I have found, especially the stock battery indicator and the swype skin, but it would be nice to have a choice on the notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
So I had the problem where everything force closes on start up (I was using FF 2.2 - I don't like having to update a lot). So I decided to install 3.0 and figured it would be best to flash to stock and then upgrade. Well Odin froze, my cap is now bricked and I'm waiting for a jig to come in the mail.

- Moral of the story - Have a jig handy when flashing!
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
If you still get a sign of life, you can get in download mode.

I presume you know how (unplug, battery pull..etc), make sure you try atleast 20 times ;)
[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
Hi BWolf56 - Your sig says you bricked a captivate. Was it bricked so bad the jig did not work?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Pretty much, I was in a hurry.. Hadn't took time to read and understand everything I was doing and I flashed using Odin 1.7 w/o every files I needed and had check/uncheck (can't remember) repartition.

Took 5sec, Odin said it was done and my phone never cameback on (believe me I tried every possible way).

Moral of the story: Read, read, read some more.. Understand.. Make sure one last time and then flash. It will save you some bricking later.

I now read alot and try to help people before they have to go through what I did :) And I also take a good 5-10min before I hit start on Odin just to make sure EVERYTHING is fine but then again, I don't use it much :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:

nothing rom related but i just wanted to say that you (XTREME) are awesome.

They didnt even give an answer to the question!!! i've noticed that that's how you always do it. that's what XDA is all about and you are an awesome part of this community and contribute a lot to it. thanks a lot for everything you do here!!!!

I switched to another lock screen and then switched the font to something else. And then switched back to the Epic lock screen and now it's fine.

Weird. Must be the default font?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Thank you, I really appreciate that.

I joined XDA when it was a little less known and it was mostly Windows Mobile and the guys there were the utmost professionals, so I basically learned from them.

Whats the point of wasting time by telling someone they are wrong, if they need answers and you can provide, get it to them and move on.

I will be bringing more stuff to Mosaic just like I did to FF.

I am planning on updating FF to 3.1, but there are so many things on my plate right now. I will get to it, I really dont want to see FF die, so much good stuff here, but I think the days of 2.2 are numbered.

All the extras will obviously be available on our GB rom.

I want to thank all of you for your continued support.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
FireFly won't die as it currently lives through the work you're bringing into Mosaic :) None of us will ever forget this amazing ROM (even if, like you said, 2.2 days are numbered).

Looking forward to more FF implamentation to Mosaic ;)

Hey,

Just a quick question...It is posible to extract the Fonts.apk from Firefly and use it in Mosaic????

PS. Firefly will live forever in our hearts!
[Captivate Android Development] Bigdog1:
Extreme you dont know how good it feels to hear you say the above. I was just about to ask how to go back to FF. I switch to mosaic but do understand that it is in it's infant stage, however I am missing SOOOOOOOO much from FF that I need to know how to go back.

I really appreciate all the hard work and I too do not want to see FF die. Why can't we have a GINGER-FLY? I am from Jamaica and we do have a fly thast is called a JINGY FLY. You can call your ROM a GINGER-FLY.

Thank you mfor EVERYTHING and you ALL will continue to get my support.

Ill be staying with firefly probably until the official gingerbread update.
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Just a quick question as I just got my replacement Captivate. I was on an older version of Firefly at the time, and I just flashed 3.0 to my phone. When sending an text message, the time stamp is in black, and it's a little hard to read. Everything else is working very well, and I'll more than likely move to Mosaic once it has those Xtreme touches to it :) Any help would be appreciated.

Oh and BTW, I did try to search the thread first, but I didn't come up with anything. Don't hurt me if it's been asked before!

[Captivate Android Development] Ymodem-G:
Another user on XDA (TRusselo) recommended this ROM, and after reading through several of the first pages (And several of the last) this looks like something I'd like to try.

Could anyone confirm any of the following? (I'd just flash it, but I'm stuck at work)

- Is there noise cancellation on this ROM? (As with the Rogers 2.2 image), and is it working on the i896? (Settings -> Call settings -> Voice call)

- Is the Froyo proximity bug still present? (Accelerometer overrides the proximity sensor when the phone is past a certain pitch)

Thanks in advance,
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I ran this ROM for quite a while and I don't recall any of these issues.

Also, it is based on the Roger I896 2.2 Froyo. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Zukoso:
thanks but I mean the stock keyboard from froyo AOSP, not the samsung keypad :)
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Oh sorry, umm I believe it should be avaible on the market. I never personnaly used it :o

Sorry, can't be much more help here.. Phone just died and currently charging lol
[Captivate Android Development] Ymodem-G:
I'm having a little problem with ROM's (I'm new to this, I'll admit it).

My fiancee and I both run modified i896's from Rogers. This noise cancellation problem might not be obvious if you are making calls to other people, but on the receiving end it's very apparent. The mic is very sensitive, and the recording level peaks when there's too much background noise.

This never happened on the stock Rogers 2.2 image, so I think this ROM will be the right choice for us.

Thanks for the feedback!

Edit:

We're currently using:

Me: Continuum 5.4.1 w/ Talon 1.7

Her: Continuum 5.3 w/ Talon 1.6
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Oh ok.. Umm FireFly isn't GB based, It's 2.2. (Just making sure you know)

As for the noise, I believe your modem and Voodoo sound control help here. I'm sure I'm missing something tho, I remember seeing something else about noise cancellation but I could just be going nutz? :p

EDIT: Thanks for the clarification Studa :)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
you are missing something. ;)

I9000 kernels dont have the drivers for the audience chip used for noise cancelation.

so ANY gingerbread kernel wont have it, if you flash firefly you will have to flash a captivate kernel(kb1) and modem that match for that to work.

maybe give fusion a shot its based on kb1 so you won't have to flash a seperate kernel and modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Ymodem-G:
I do, but thanks for the heads up :)

I'll probably have to odin back to stock bootloaders before flashing if I understand things correctly. I have Voodoo on both handsets, but it hasn't helped. And to be honest, I hear zero change on any Mic settings in the application.

The modem could be the problem, but I admit I don't know enough about it to single that out.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I would suggest you don't flash bootloaders again. It greatly increases your chances of bricking.

2.3 Bootloaders work great on 2.2 ROM. (but don't flash Cognition!!!!)

Studa made a clarification that I forgot to mention. The noise cancellation comes with the kernel and it hasn't been ported to GB. Which is probably why you're getting it.

If I can give you some personnal though: Flash full FF 3.0 - It has speedmod k13e and comes with JK4 modem.

Never had any issue with this awesome combo ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Ymodem-G:
I've been told by several i896 owners on XDA that the i896 may not have the audience chip at all. It may only be on the i897.

Can you make any recommendations for a modem/kernel combo? I've flashed a few Kernel's and ROM's but I'll admit I haven't done enough reading on flashing modems to feel comfortable with it.

I spent a half hour or so last night looking for modem flashing information on XDA, but the information I've found seems to be choppy/unreliable. It seems I need a modem.bin file placed in the "phone" section in Odin. The files in the modem thread seem to contain more than that file though, which makes me uneasy.

Thanks for the advice,
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
The files that are in the modem thread are cwm flashable (which is why they have more than the modem.bin). You can simply copy the .zip to your sd card and flash it through cwm recovery.

Look at my post above, I made a little recommandation ;)

Also, it is very hard ot suggest a modem as they act completly different form phone to phone and your area you're in will also make a big difference. JK4 is a great base, it has never fail me. But if it doesn't work for you (which is only in rare case), your only option is: trial and error (reading what people report helps too).
[Captivate Android Development] Ymodem-G:
I'm going to follow that recommendation ;)

I've already soft bricked my device a few times, I have a couple Jigs that can recover from that. I'm in the office right now so I can't look at the files or look at what's involved yet, but I'll be flashing FF 3.0 tonight when I get home.

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
If it's still noisy, look for a kb1 kernel, it'll say next to it, you will have to also flash a modem to match. That combo will have the ability to use the audience chip (if in fact there is one in the I896)
[Captivate Android Development] JJ133169:
