Nope, I'm using the paid version. I know what you're talking about, that's not it. It's the phone stalling or even spontaneously rebooting after restoring a number of apps. Even talked to the author about it but we didn't figure out anything.

Care to elaborate on what those "little things" are? Might save me from wasting my time. Thanks. :)

Geotagging?

In the AT&T 2.1 ROM I was able to disable geotagging on pictures from the camera application. I can't find how to disable geotagging on this ROM. Does anyone know where it is? I prefer to only geotag when I want a picture geotagged instead of letting everyone know where I live when I post a picture on-line...
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
As far as I can tell the only way to do it is to turn off "Use wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites" in "Settings" > "Location and security" before using the camera. You would then have to re-enable those options if you need to use them for other applications, obviously. I, too, wish there was just one permanent cut-off for that action without the hassle of that whole rigmarole. I dislike having my home address (or any address) attached to pictures I take. Especially if I'm uploading them to Facebook, Twitpic, Photobucket or anything like that. This seems to be a feature permanently lost in all Froyo ROM's, not just Cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I've been reading the thread for it and the Captivate modem thread, haven't heard anything about battery drain. Modem thread dies on the 15th of last month though. Have heard some weirdness about GPS on occassion, but other than that nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
you get me 2.2 captivate source and I will do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
DG any clue why my settings (like volumes, GPS, screen timeout, everything in the Settings app) reset at boot?
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
Oh too bad. I thought if it was possible to get the voodoo lag fix on this kernel, then color and sharp would be possible too. Shows how much I know.
[Captivate Android Development] k2snowboards88:
I also saw that you wrote:

Known Issues:

Hardware noise cancellation not utilized, software noise cancellation is used instead

You MUST NOT use AT&T Captivate Modems

in the downloads section. Are those the known issues for using the firebird kernel? Or are those known issues for the rom as is?
[Captivate Android Development] mengbo:
Salute! Thanks, great job !
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
Tried this...went to FC's, went into airplane, cleared it in TiBu, rebooted(still in airplane), and now it looks okay. Looks like Darky I9000->cap 3.0 can't restore MMS this way...thanks for the help tho! may restore with SMS backup/restore an nandroid backup, but not really sure if i care enough to do so!!!

Great rom so far, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
My name is LMSarmiento, and I am a DG ROM-aholic. I was sobber for a few hours (was tinkering between modems and other kernels on Perc 10.1) until 15 minutes ago.

Once done with the Cog 3 d/l, it's back to stock via odin, and then time to install and witness the magic.

DG, thanks for the love you've shown all of us with your work on both ROM's... and with sticking it out with Cognition!

Settings Reset @ boot

Just checked and my settings are intact after reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgunn:
So I'm running perception 10.1 and really happy with it but would like to check this out. Can I clockwork backup my perception install, try this out and if I don't like it clockwork restore back to perception without any problems?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just curious, but does Cog 3.0 (or Perception 10) support 3.5mm audio out? I'm really itching to get the Captivate dock to further ultimize my Captivate, but definitely need the audio out feature to go with. Just curious.. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
Try using the SMSBackup+. It works for me.

I haven't had to use headphones for the last few days? But school is starting back up on tuesday and I'll be using headphones all the time. What roms don't support it?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'm not certain if he understood me correctly. My question was in reference to the Samsung Car Dock. The audio out feature will apparently only work with 2.2, but custom ROMs don't appear to always support it. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
[Captivate Android Development] xpeppyx:
Ah. That i am unsure about but would lije to know as well

[Captivate Android Development] BumRush:
Can someone explain to me what the firebird kernel is for? Do I flash it before or after I flash to cognition 3.0?
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
This does it, but not on the camera--so still not very convenient.

http://www.geotagsecurity.com/

The inability to inhibit geotag on photos seems to be a huge deficiency to me. People post photos online, and there are a lot of creeps out there. Big deficiency if this is correct.

However, if this is not something that is part of the ROM inplementation, but is in the kernel itself, then we should cease discussing it in this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] rrlara:
Currently on Cognition v3.02. Its working very well except WIFI having it's glitches once in awhile. Thanks DG.

One thing though, I can not find "Program Monitor" widget anywhere in my phone. I thought since Cognition v3.02 is Froyo 2.2 I would get this feature. I can access to recent apps by press holding on "Home" button and then Task manager is located below. Where did the Program Manager go?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
Program monitor is a touchwiz widget. You will have to use tw as your launcher if you want to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] gflare:
Here are a few little things off the top of my head:

- When making a call, it will alert me to say 'call forwarding is enabled' (because of this, if I make a call in speakerphone, I can't hear anything for a second or two)

- The buttons within contacts and camera apps, for video calling / front facing camera (they've removed all those now I think though)

- In Calendar, when I create a new item it defaults to my google calendar (which is great!) But.... I'm not sure why it feels the need to create it as an event and mark me as "yes I'm going!" This doesn't bother me though

- No access to 'QuickOffice for Captivate' (I guess you could change your Model info, but I didn't bother to since I swap ROMs quite a bit)

- Cannot adjust your brightness by swiping across the status bar (though I think that probably gets removed with TouchWiz on Cognition also)

For me, it all comes down to finding a ROM that has no hiccups when I'm using swype and typing in a search / text / etc. Perception does it some (might just be me) and I'm hoping Cognition works fine.

Also;

You probably know this already, but remember to write down your Android ID :)
[Captivate Android Development] rassler:
Could I get some help please? I bricked my last phone by fooling around with various modems and kernals, so I would prefer for that not to happen again.

I do read here regularly (often daily) but I would like confirmation from those more knowledgable than myself on the subject prior to moving forward.

I would like to install Cog 3 ROM, with Firebird 2 Kernal, and an appropriate modem (maybe JK4?).

What would be the best way to do this? To my understanding, Firebird could just be flashed from CWM, but a matching modem is needed. However, if I install the modem first, will it conflict with the standard Kernal?

I am lost as to which would be the best way to achieve my desired combination. Any detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Bluetooth problem

I did the same thing..Flashed my att captivate with cog 3.04 with firebird2... everthings goiing great except my bluetooth headset is not working well... it has a lot of static... is there any fix???

Thanks in advance

[Captivate Android Development] jfclk33:
Hey DG, just wanted to say thanks for your work! This was my first flash and and everything went smooth as silk. I'm loving how fast and smooth this ROM is. I've noticed no problems at all and battery life has been great. BTW, I'm running COG 3.04 with Firebird kernel and KP1 modem.

Hoping to install a diff unlock like epic. Is this possible on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] proav8tor:
Question about dhcp.

I am having problem with cog 3.04 and a linksys WRT54G wireless router running the linksys firmware. I put the phone in airplane mode (since this is actually happening on an airplane) and enable wifi. The phone connects fine and works great but at some point usually around 2hrs after first connecting I am unable to connect to the internet.

I did notice that when the phone stops connecting to the internet when I look at the IP address assigned its an address that is outside of the dchp selected on the router. (IE 192.168.1.76 and the router is set to give 50 addresses starting at 192.168.1.100.) No matter how many times I "forget network" it keeps assigning the 192.168.1.76 address.

At this point I tried using a static IP setup on the phone but was still unable to connect. This happens with 2 of the same linksys routers in 2 different airplanes.

Once off the airplane and in the hotel the phone connects fine to the hotel wireless.

Any guesses if this a DHCP lease issue or the netmask issue?

Is there any way to force a DHCP renew in android other than "forget network"? (like in terminal emulator?)

I have another flight tomorrow and will try to get some more information since I didn't have net status installed before I was unable to connect.

need a little help

i want to put the firebird 2 kernel. i'm assuming just download the file then rename update.zip and use in cwm. My problem is what modem should i use (im currently using fido). and what is a modem

kinda of a noob, sorry if this is dumb
[Captivate Android Development] nonameputs:
Where do you find this and why do you need to write it down?
[Captivate Android Development] beesonm:
Help Wanted

So I have a version of froyo but would really like to get cognition 3.04. I am using the flash clockworkmod. I get the update.zip file on my phone and then put the downloaded cognition that I have in the same spot. When I select wipe and run the program it get's about a quarter of the way through the instillation and then says E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] DamnMersault:
It's only mildly dumb. Ill-informed would be more apt, perhaps. Don't rename the kernel to update.zip. The update.zip on your SD card should always be the CWM update.zip. When you reboot into recovery mode with Cognition (or any other custom ROM), there will be a menu that will let you install a zip from your SD card, giving you a menu you can use to navigate the filesystem, and select the zip you want, no matter what it's named.

Also, if you do flash the firebird kernel, be sure to grab a modem from an i9000 phone. Check the modem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I believe this is a Galaxy S/Froyo issue. Definitely a *huge* step backwards from 2.1, but seems like this is *not* a Cognition bug. I've seen threads about this very thing with the T-Mobile Vibrant official Froyo that has already come out. Personally, I think the whole "accidentally sharing your address via a photo" is an important issue people should be aware of.

I've found a solution to remove geo-tags from shots *already taken* however. Great app.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Yea I tried that. Hid my Google contacts, then used only Phone contacts, Facebook still didn't sync for me.

[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Flash Kernel then modem. Combination varies depending on location as to which ones work. Seems that some are getting "good press" as someone else put it in this or the perception thread (can't remember cuz I read them both) it is up to you to find the combo that works best for you in your location.

Modems need to match kernel: so install an captivate modem after flashing a captivate kernel and an I9000 modem after flashing an apropriate kernel, etc. They have to be paired properly to work well...

SGS kernel app is a good start, allows you to backup your current kernel and flash between them. Check the modem threads and do a search of this as well as other ROM/kernel threads. Often the really good info is hidden amongst a bunch of other more unimportant stuff.

Good luck

Custom kernel

OK ,dumb noob question here.

I have cog 3.04 installed and very happy with it. BUT, I have not installed Firebird 2 kernel. What are the advantages/disadvantages of installing firebird (or any other custom kernel) over just leaving cog 3.04 as is?

mines done the phantom FC a few times. i noticed when it happens it takes a few seonds for the homscreens in ADW to render again..
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Kind of need to do that. It there any way to reload the phone.apk? I searched for one but I dont think its compatible. Can someone post the phone.apk so that I can just sideload it on?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
do you have the "call connect tone" enabled in call settings? this ROM (for whatever reason) doesn't have a working call_connect_tone_ogg.ogg, if memory serves, and causes the phone.apk to FC when it tries to play the sound. Simply disabling the "call connect tone" will fix it if that's your problem.

if it's not that, then try reflashing and never restore system data in TiBu.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
search this thread, a new phone.apk has been posted a few times, it should remedy the issue. The tone on connect suggestion a post or two above this one would be a good thing to try first as well.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
tone is disabled. I found the phone.apk file, so i just sideload that sucker in?

Cog 3.04 is amazing...I had a sh*t battery life with cog2.x and today I have been unplugged for 14 hrs and still have 36% left...

Thanks DG :)
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
How do you do that?
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
hmm... How do we get the multi-lock screen option on 3.04? I would rather have the puzzle unlock than the AOSP to see text messages etc.

I think the multi lock is currently only available on I9000 based roms. I think DG is working on it though.

I just went to v3.04 a couple of days ago and never thought to check the geotagging setting since I flashed...thanks for the heads up! I disabled it on my stock ROM,b but don't want to have to remember to disable everything every time I use my camera!
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
Okay...so I just took a test picture without disabling anything and it still showed "unknown” in the location under properties....so I think we are good to go as far as geotagging goes.
[Captivate Android Development] evolution36:
I just flashed to this rom from stock eclair rooted and I'm having the worst experience ever. When I receive a phone call it forces shutdown along with alot of my applications doing the same thing. Any advice? Also is there a setting where I can have my GPS turn on every 30 minutes without me having to turn it off and turn it back on to save my battery?
[Captivate Android Development] dwg44:
Email question

Love the ROM. 20X improvement over stock. When you open email client (I have Exchange set up) the list has the subject of the email in large print and then the sender underneath in small print. Usually it is the other way around. Does anyone know if there is a way to change this? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] evolution36:
I followed the steps exactly but maybe it was a bad flash. I'm probably gunna try to wipe it and flash it again. I prob wont use titanium for the back up but i did all apps and data backup when I used titanium

I'm a noob and there is a lot to read thru on this Thread. I just want to make sure that this ROM can be applied to US Captivates? Appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] chocodough:
Yep it sure can. I guess that's what it's designed for primarily.

A lot of us here are still a bit noobish when it comes to custom ROMS. It's a learning experience. It really does make the phone fun again. I was really bored with stock 2.1 and haven't used to phone much until I flashed COG.

It's a great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] techsican:
Where can we get old versions of Cognition. when to pull v2.3b8 at the http://www.ponack.net/designgears/index.html site and when I try to download I get 404 error. Is there another download site I can pull down a copy? Thanks and appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] chocodough:
Personally I am still running 3.02. I think it is a great ROM, I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I still use 3.02 cause DG changed the stock GB launcher to Launcher PRO and I am too lazy to change everything in 3.04 to reflash with it in there. I might if I have a problem with 3.02. The stock GB launcher is so much better IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] ivikane:
I would also like this option, or at least some clarification on if it has plans to be added in the future.

I think what he means is, why was it not included. I like the autocorrect and voice-to-text on the android keyboard and I'm having some issues with the gingerbread keyboard I got from one of the links in this thread. Does anyone know where I can get a working copy of the Froyo keyboard to add into Cog 3.04?

[Captivate Android Development] chocodough:
I have something weird happening in regards to WiFi in COG 3.02. I wouldn't classify it as a problem, just weird.

For example usually when I go into the Market to look around when on WiFi, the 3G icon will appear on the top bar along side the WiFi icon. It only stays there a few seconds then disappears.

It does pause a sec when the 3G icon is there. But I found it weird being as the WiFi icon never disappears at that time.

Is it because it is momentarily switching back to 3G but then goes right back to WiFi for some reason?

I was wondering if this was an issue that was fixed in 3.04? I haven't updated yet being as I am waiting for the next release, which I figured would be out soon.
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Here you go. Just install it like any other apk.

Nope, it still happens to me all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
"Here you go. Just install it like any other apk."

And for us newbies, could you point please to a thread describing how apk's are to be installed? Do they all go into the same folder?
[Captivate Android Development] chocodough:
Whew! Thanks. At least I know it isn't just me.

Do you think it's a bug in the ROM or just a FROYO thing?
[Captivate Android Development] AtariBorn:
I had the same problem going to 3.04. But then I copied the stock launcher from 3.02 and pasted into /system/apps. After making sure it worked, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall LauncherPro.

Worked like a charm and I didn't need to reboot.

Get the stock launcher here...
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Here you go.
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
Move the .apk file to the phone (doesn't really matter), navigate to where you placed the file and launch it.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Told you I was a newbie...

by launch it, do you mean dbl-click it in an explorer window or that it will appear in Apps and just touch its icon there?
[Captivate Android Development] liquid blue:
When you move it to your phone, just tap it. It should ask you to install.
[Captivate Android Development] guthriemd:
You can try: http://db.tt/K1xdjtJ

That's my Public folder on Dropbox. Got some other random stuff but if you look in the Phone ROMs folder, you'll see a few older versions.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
that doesn't work for all apks. for example, you can't just open the touchwizlauncher apk file and expect it to install. in that case, you have to copy the apk to /system/app/
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Just download the Gingerbread keyboard from the market. Easier than the apk method.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Lol.....understate much? Not like crossing the streams bad, but like newter said.... no bueno
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
Wow, I didn't know that. Learn something new today :)

Don't sweat it, we were all once newbs ;)

By launch, I mean to run the .apk on your phone.

Download the .apk to your computer, then move it to your phone. Once that's done, use a file browser like "My Files" found in your app drawer and find the .apk you just moved and click on it. A message prompt should pop-up asking if you want to install, just follow the steps. Easy!
