Absolutely, you guys are like a helping hand from the man above. I can't thank all of you enough. As soon as I get a job, my first paycheck will be dedicated to donating back to you guys. That's a promise.

I am not sure what specifically can cause that. I will trouble shoot it and try to come up with a solution later tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
I'm so happy to hear that. I was hoping that we weren't going to lose an amazing developer such as yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Yeah, I just flashed 2.8 fresh and wiped the SD. No need to go back to stock. 99% of the people on here would probably agree with me. Lol...

But anyway, yep I was on Onix. I had it for about 2 weeks. Once I updated 2.7 - 2.8 and immediately put that theme on I started having issues. Can't really pin if it was the update or not.

Either way, this ROM is flawless and keep it up killa. If I wasn't poor, I'd donate! Take my heart in place of money... <3.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Your appreciation is all I need. Thank you. Glad you got it working again. I will try not to mess up the update packages.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
It's a donation to you because we feel you deserve it. Keep it! Well keep mine anyways. No need to pay me back :)
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
it's always been like that if you don't have auto brightness, even on stock samsung 2.1 :)

pressing and holding the notification bar at the top (without pulling down) turns it into a brightness control slider
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
lol..I didn't know about that. wow :o

I guess I should look into these features.

Any more cool stuff like this?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Guys, pls do NOT flash any theme that is not specifically designed for this rom. They may be compatible, but compatibility does not always mean it will work.

Pls unzip n check any theme to see if that contains any jars, along with frame work files. If yes, I would strongly recommend checking out here first. Also, if u still want to experiment, please delete the jars from the theme u plan to flash. And I would strongly suggest taking a nandroid backup in case u want to revert back or u start getting any issues.

Jars location: /system/framework

This folder should contain only two files: framework-res and twframework apks.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Interesting. And if i may ask (for self knowledge) how are they affecting FF negatively/ positively?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Hey guys,

For all those who are looking for IRC for this ROM, look no further. HaiKaiDo has hooked us up with our own channel.

http://irc.shadowcard.net:1337/

Change the channel to #FireFly

Note: If you are using anything other than the webirc

the port is 6667

For those who already have an IRC client here is the server: irc.shadowcard.net

Channel: #FireFly

Port: 6667

For those who want an IRC client get a free one here - http://www.icechat.net/site/

I will be available most of the time to help out and just chill with you guys.

Hope to see you in there.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Yeah guys! Its up and running and ready for you to make your FireFly rom head quarters! Hooray for real time support :D
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
yay for the late nights! except.. i cant seem to connect. i can get to freenode but when i try to connect to irc.shadowcard.net on port 1337 its a nogo. tried on my phone irc client and my desktop pc:confused:

edit: wait wait..what?... i can access it via website on my phone LOL!
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Woops! were gonna edit the post. if youre using the web irc its 1337, if its anything else its 6667 sorry about that :D
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Hey X!

I just saw in a different thread that you got that bootanimation?! Is it working??? Lol.

I love the current one but i'm insanely curious about the upcoming one ;)
[Captivate Android Development] MobileNick:
X, I do hope you mean "figuratively" donate back. I hope you're not considering actually giving donated money back. Can't speak for everyone but I donated as a show of thanks for all your development in Firefly. You've already done this, so there is nothing to be paid back - we're even-Steven! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
I think the IRC channel is a great idea for helping to trouble shoot problems quickly. It also might make a nice addition to the FireFly app. For now maybe it could be a link in the app that would take you to the web page, but in the future it could incorporate a full IRC client. Just a thought.

Also, I wanted to say thank you for everything you've done with FireFly. I know you're going through a hard time right now and people here are willing to help you out. They are not expecting you to pay them back, only that if you come across somebody else who is going through a hard time, you help them out if you can. Just pay it forward is all we ask.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
I didn't know that. That's really cool.

Thanks for sharing.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
Since I updated to firefly 2.8.i have not been getting email notifications. I'm not sure if was doing this in 2.7 either because I only had it for about a day before 2.8 came out. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yeah, I am going to include it in the next update. I posted the preview a few pages back. Let me see if I can post it again.

I think it looks good, but just for safe measure I will put the current one in the app for those who want it.

That is a good idea, I am not sure how I can make that happen tho.

I can put the link to webchat in the app easily, but an integrated IRC client might be a bit more tricky.

Great Idea.

I am not having this issue. I know this is going to sound silly, but it is just a part of the troubleshoot process.

Did you by any chance disable notification?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
K13E out. And offically fantastic!

And just in time for thursday's update.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
X, you know what you have to do now, dont ya? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Its not just FF, its about any ROM in general. JARs contain system level settings/info that form the core functionality of ROM. These contain things like extended power menu, 3G/2G toggle in settings, etc. When u flash these from a ROM that's incompatible with urs, or that has lower functionality that urs, u tend to lose the additional features that were originally part of ur ROM. Some earlier versions of Perception (I think I remember right here) did not have 2G/3G toggle and when I flashed those JARs on mine, I ended losing up that functionality. In some cases it could be as simple as this, and in some cases it could start giving u a loop of FCs rendering phone unsable.
[Captivate Android Development] jacobharasimo:
sounds

great rom, the only issues i can find are that the Samsung keyboard your using clicks when you type. I turned audible selection but it still makes noise. apparently its wired to the audible touch tones. this keyboard needs to have its own setting for sound. I like the keyboard, I like to have key beep when I dial, but I hate sound when I text. is there a fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I sure do. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
I don't know what the deal is but since installing this I'll get errors when listening to music. It will say that none of my mp3s are a supported format. Then it will zip through all of them. I'll reboot and it will play them. Just a few minutes ago I was playing them and mid song it stopped and gave me the error. So I restarted the song and it played through.

Weird stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Ugh. Phone reboots every single time I hang up from a voice call without fail. Last time I flash an update package
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
You didn't happen to flash call recording, too, did you?
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
Would anyone have any clue how I can revert to stock (coming from FF) without a USB cable? I have the update.zip in my internal drive...can transfer to and fro from laptop via Dropbox. That's about all I have going in my favor right now.

I would highly appreciate any help!
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Unfortunately I don't think there is a flashable stock zip. I'm almost certain that you would need to use Odin in order to get back to a stock state.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
That is what I'm fearing. Someone on another thread suggested I download "jf7 ota by design gears" and to run it, but I'm not sure where to find that and I don't have Cognition...so I don't know if it would work and I hoped that there was something from FF.

Thanks a lot anyhow...I'm running out of ideas here. Maybe I should take in to AT&T and pray all the way there that they won't notice the root. Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Look in the dev section there is a thread called "[stock rom] for use to going back to stock with minimum risk before flashing a custom rom" or something to that effect. I know I've seen it...
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
So,the only 2 roms I hadn't flashed were uimi and cyonegen or whatever. So I decided to try out miu. Its impressive and has ALOT

Of great features but after runnin for a day,I had to come back to firefly. I always end up back here:) my donation is coming
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
That wont work.

What wrong with spending the 5$ on a new usb? If you did that you could go about everything the right way and not worry about bricking.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Still requires the use of Odin if I remember the thread. AFAIK the only option for going back to I-897 stock are DG's one click or icezar's version that has seperated the files out.

Lancered, do you not have a USB cable? Odin flashes are almost as easy as using ROM Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
I'm going to look into this right now.

I do have various USB cables, but my USB port has died, it doesn't recognize any of them. I guess I could replace my USB port myself but I don't know if I'm handywoman enough...especially since I have warranty from AT&T. I just need to get this phone back on stock so I can take it in. Or should I chance it and go while rooted and ROMed? I've definitely thought of it.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
"Thanks" :)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
You're right I just found it and it does require odin. My apologies.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
Do you know where I could find these? DG's one click or icezar's version?

I also found the thread and noticed I still need a working USB. Thanks still, studacris.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
no i dont know where those are ... if you cant ever find them though, you could perhaps take it back to att if it were to *ahem *"somehow" not come on and say you were trying to do the kies update? that would be the last resort of coarse, just saying... or would that need a replacement through insurance (which would cost you) and not warranty?
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Here you go. All the needed info can be found in the OP's.

I'm at work so I don't have any of my files to attach..:(
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
Not tell them the port broke? Oh...haha! I'm afraid that they'd put in a different battery (one that is charged) and realize what I'm up to when they see that awesome, giant flashing F. Lol! But who knows, I'm desperate, I might consider this if I don't figure something out soon!

Edit: Modmyphone - I've already bumped into both those threads, don't I need a working USB for either? Let me read through the DG one again...thank you :)
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
If you are comfortable with doing it there are multiple DIYs out there for this. However, a computer repair shop will do it for cheap as well. Especially on a generic laptop. However, if all your USB ports will not recognize your phone, it sounds like you have more of a system issue. You can confirm this by checking to see if any other devices are recognized via USB.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I wasn't talking about a dead battery. If the phone didn't come on at all ... Catch my drift? The chord came out while trying to update through kies... I'm running out of subtlety...
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
I get you I get you! But as a support tech, what would be among the first things you'd think of if the phone doesn't power on? Maybe they'd try a few different cables, which would be cool as none would work. Remember that I'd give them the phone with a dead battery (since I can't charge it). But if they were to replace it (maybe thinking I fried it), the phone would power straight up. So that would give me away?

But umh, I like how you think! Lol!
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Without the USB port on the phone working, it would be hard to even break it in that way, wouldn't it? Using CWM to flash an incorrect kernel would be a relatively easy way of preventing the phone from booting (boot loop it on purpose), thus combined with an actual faulty USB port should make it easy.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
What if you take out the battery on the middle of flashing a new rom or kernel via cwm? If you're "lucky" that could do it. And without a usb port to bring it to download mode, that'd be as permanent as it gets.
[Captivate Android Development] b0wz:
Confirmed, just extracted the gingermix phone.apk and used root explorer (read/write) to paste it into the system over the existing one, and poof....all is good, with the cool stock dialer :D
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
this is due to the kernel.

Kies doesn't pick up what your bootscreen shows. It reads the product code in your nv_data.bin which mostly now incorrectly shows as SGH-I897KZARWC instead of SGH-I897KZAATT (use SGS Toolbox from market to check Product CODE and IMEI...i prefer using it over sgs tools for those 2 tasks because it will generate backups of the files).

Check the development thread for restoring imei and product code threads if you want to fix your product code.

i have a help thread if you want to restore your product code to the proper ATT code. PS - even with proper product code and drivers kies can still be finicky in recognizing devices. Thanks to the superb effort of connexion2005 i also added his Video Guide for the process to my op in the thread.

fix product code and possibly restore imei if needed as well

Anyone know why when I unlock my phone, instead of going right to my default launcher (Zeam) it goes to the stock launcher until I hit home? It's done this on a few ROMs, not just FF 1.5
[Captivate Android Development] SMaximus7:
Same here. It works. Adam, I am at work, but as soon as I get home, your caffeine addiction shall be supplied! Dude you rock! and yes, the man's level of patience and helpfulness is unbelievable. There should be more like you my friend!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Use titanium backup to freeze the stock launcher or remove it. You can also go in with root explorer, or similar app, and rename it to disable it.
[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
I would add to install BusyBox through the (same?) menu.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:

I just completed my Phoenix 3.5 rom switch over. Is there a quick way to change it to the FF one? It took me quite a bit of time to do the switch over. maybe im doing it wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Put it on your internal SD, disable any lagfix and flash it. That's it!
[Captivate Android Development] inneyeseakay:
Use paid version of Titanium Backup...

I have ~100 user apps + gmail/gvoice/facebook and it only takes ~10 minutes to have my phone back up completely restored and ready to use after flashing a new ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Sweet site! love the layout. Looking forward to seeing some more content. Anyway we can get a link/download for the default wallpaper for firefly? I changed mine but would like the option to go back to the default wallpaper(It's pretty slick) :)
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Adam, I'd also like to thank you personally for including root explorer in this release. It's much more of a file manager than astro, es, etc. Much thanks!!!
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
Argh. I would love to see this mythical magical site you people are referring too.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That was an accident believe it or not. I use it on my test build which turned out to also be my final build. I can get in huge trouble for that. I only bought a few copies.

how do I get the wallpaper that's in the screenshots? I don't see them.

[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
*gasps* ... you people are devils! LOL.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
But even if they void your warranty, how much would a new usb port + service cost?

It seems better than doing what is being suggested.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
Even if it's not the exact help I was going for, I appreciate all of the options. Lol...I will keep searching but I might take one of these if nothing turns.

Thanks all :)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That's why i said as a last resort as I'm not sure if he brought in a bricked phone "from the official update" would be a warranty or insurance issue. Warranty, they would give him a refurb at no cost, insurance he would have to pay.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
She! :) And it would be a warranty issue as I do not have a year yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnnie5000:
I had that problem too. Onix isn't playing nice with it. Flash a different kernal and your problem will go away.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnnie5000:
Any chance you've got a usb cable you don't mind cutting up, a set of jumper cables and a spare car battery laying around? We can make that thing not come back on.
[Captivate Android Development] hybernator:
My only idea is the jh7 cwm zip but the one I have is rooted stock rom. I'm not sure if the 1 click unroot will work on jh7, but I believe it can be done via cwm with the zip the actual program makes. I will gladly post them later when I get home if needed or wanted
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Sorry babe, not many of you "femi-flashers"
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
:eek: WHAT?! LOL I am not that adventurous! You guys are comedy!

In any case, I think I already did enough damage and yes, by mistake! I was trying another suggestion from another thread (another forum) and whatever I've flashed turns on my phone but it only shows a little picture: a cellphone--orange triangle--a computer.

I'm so done.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yup, that's a soft brick. Without a working usb port= pretty much sol, guess it's off to att, just remember this happened while trying to upgrade to 2.2 with kies.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
Thank you! You guys are awesome and I'm off to AT&T tomorrow morning.

(and why are we limited to just 5 "thanks" per day? :confused:)
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
so some people don't abuse the thanks option

I got here too late... if it wasn't recognizing your phone please tell me you tried to reinstall the drivers posted in DG's odin thread...or another USB port :)

I am glad you got the phone - ! - computer (never thought I would say that)... Good luck dealing with the death star.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
I had at one point, don't remember when...is call recording included now? Soemtimes I get the error before it reboots, its system.exe (or whatever the android equivalent is) that crashes
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
Well, that's that, then.

Good luck with At&t.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
I'd like to see a video of that, lol!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
flashing a theme on top of call recording may give you that exact error. I suggest you go to the apps and flash the "stock FF" ... even if you are back on stock it won't hurt anything at all....then flash call recording on top of the stock theme and you should be ok.

If that doesn't work tell me the theme you are on and I will make you a custom stock. That fixes only what the theme addressed.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
So completly off last topic.. but as anyone tried the last speedmod k13E yet? I'm about to try it but was hoping for some reviews (if you can call it like that) :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
My phone seems to be... smoother?

Other than that, I can't tell much difference. Time will tell if there is any improvement in battery uptime, but so far, so good.

It does seem to be (at least, to me) a bit more responsive and transitions seem more fluid.

I'm no audiophile, so I couldn't tell you about any improvement in audio. My family claims I'm nearly deaf, anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
U went with the 500hz?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I did.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Trying it out atm. Although something really weird just happened.. I downloaded it and opened it with rom manager (not thinking) and it did a nandroid backup but when my phone turned back on I was back to stock ff 2.8 as if I had just flashed it (which I didnt lol).

Also I lost a couple apps, like ff mods n fix :(

One last thing, it wont let me change MIUI's widget to how I had it :

Any suggestion? Lol

EDIT: omg I suck.. Nvm about MIUI.. Thats fancy widget lol. Although, i'd like to get ff mods n fix back!
