1. your phone will be a refurb no question about it. I got through 3 phones from AT&T all refurbs.

2. I cannot stress this enough back up your /efs/ folder. Back it up once twice, 50 times. I went through 2 phones because i magically lost service and it was because of the efs folder. make sure you follow all directions correctly before flashing. Always have a way back to stock just in-case.

3. My new moto of flashing is do NOT become a flashaholic. If you flash something and you like it and it gets constantly updated. Why flash something else when the ROM you have isnt broken.

4. Kernal: Speedmod (thats just me)

5. Modem: I cant really tell ya there because i flash a new one almost every week ha.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Much easier said than done buddy!!!

For the first 3 months I had my captivate, I did not flash anything, in last 2 months I have flashed atleast 10 times, some times I have this obssesive compulsive urge to flash something ... cant help ;)
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Haha so your a modem flashing aholic huh? Uh oh,moms told me about them:D

On topic,no matter what,if you don't reread anything,make sure you read a million times how to flash back to stock and what each thing says to back up. Most of the flashing back to stock methods require hardware that can permanently damage your phone,so again make sure you read and understand that
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Actually if somebody decides to flash the official froyo update (with 3e recovery) I am not very sure if this method will work, as you'll then have to first flash the modded recovery and I don't know if that can be done without root.

As long as you stay on eclair or any other rom with 2e recovery, you can just reinstall the CWM's update.zip from the recovery twice and you are good. Have done this multiple times.

Sorry for my ignorance but why do we need to backup the efs folder? How can i do it (copy to sd with root explorer i guess? And it's there any problem if im on firefly right now or i need to go back to stock for backup the folder?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I've done it like this Multiple Times. MANY times. On ANY 2.2 Rom. Just to name a few:

1) FF (cuz its Bad@$$)

2) Serendipity

3) Supernova

4) Cognition (I just had to try it out)

EDIT: Thanks again for earlier.

I've never once rooted prior to installing the actual (full) Rom. Yes I flashed to stock/master cleared/ even went as far as formatting internal/ copied CWM/ ROM of choice to internal SD/ "re-installed" CWM (twice usually)/ Install ROM/ PROFIT!

The entire time i have done it this way....i have NEVER (knock on wood) had any battery issues/ FC issues/ Bootloop/ Brick/ etc. And....i find that i am able to use Apps and other services that require...........

ROOT! =)
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Is from I9000 thread, but worked on captivate for me. You can do it via root explorer too.

I did both just in case :D

On a side note, I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time, does anybody have an idea how this tradition of putting a catch phrase with the name of the ROM come about :confused:

Some of them seriously mean nothing, no offense but I can not even make sense of "Eye of the Tiger" :)
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
"Eye of the tiger",2 words....ITS FIERCE
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am not sure how other devs approach it, but I just like to have fun with the tag lines and modmyphone helps me out with that.

To me, "eye of the tiger" means another level of focus and attention to detail for this ROMs last stretch.

More than anything, it is my way of having fun, not all have to agree, but most all enjoy it.;)
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
It is fun for sure :)

Actually just for trivia,

" During the day, a tiger's sight is about the same as a human's, though its visual acuity (ability to see detail) is not as good."

Source: http://www.seaworld.org/infobooks/tiger/sensetiger.html

It should probably be "Senses of the Tiger" LOL

I agree with the fierce part. It's scary, especially when you see a tiger in wild from 100 feet distance ;)

EDIT: or "Eagle's Eye" if you want to focus on details
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
X - i have a great mod idea! well its a mod on a mod.

there is the mod of remapping "

hold

search" to camera, but it removes voice search.

well, remap camera to "hold menu" which currently is the same thing as "

press

search"!

it gets rid of a double feature that has bugged me since day one and noone has done anything with!

Gain without Loss!

Thats why i shook my head when i posted over at our QandA thread when i asked for the changelog to 2.9. I remember posting: "currently downloading/ installing 2.9 eye of the tiger while listening to eye of the tiger on Winamp in the background."

No one got the joke, but I'm glad a few knows. Speaking of which......changelogs....next update? Hmmm....

[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
X posted about it yesterday. No big info beside that it will be the Final FireFly based on Rogers 2.2 (FireFly 3.0)

So I guess the one after that will be 2.3 based and people will have the choice to either Rock the new 2.3 based version or still roll on that perfect Final form of 2.2 based FireFly :)

Just flashed FF over from Serendipity. So far not a lot of difference, but I've only had it on for a couple hours. Give it a few days and we shall see...
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
That's exactly where "Eye of the Tiger" tagline came from. I was sitting around thinking about what to do for 2.9's image since we hadn't even thought of a tagline yet. I said to my 2 year old daughter "What should it be this week?". Not thinking that she'd give me an answer, she says "Tiger". I asked her why tiger and she pointed to the radio. "Eye of the Tiger" was playing. Pretty funny....

Once I thought about it... I thought that it fit perfectly for the release. If you remember back, this was the release that almost never happened. But through the tribe, the fight continued. Hopefully everything works out with X and his personal life that the 3 line can be complete.

I found a huge difference. It's the little things like FF fixes, etc. I liked S, and honestly I was getting better Q scores with it, but I find FF smoother and more customizable. I'd never go elsewhere, just waiting to see what 2.3 brings us.

Beside, X said that he would be pulling FF's final version this week so you could stay on it if you wanted to :rolleyes:

Its just the circle of life.

But it is not the end, evolution my friend is fact.

My battery life with 1.5 seems to be worse than 1.0.

Figured I'd post an update...

Day 2 of using Firefly 1.5 and it is outstanding. Easily beats the crap off of any other ROM and I still can't believe it's not overclocked... Overclocked seems to be over rated and honestly pointless. Puts way to much strain on most batteries too no matter how many tweaks.

I can't even begin to explain how good my battery life has been... Will record a few screenshots and times after I charge to 100% and see how long it takes to drain.

If you ever need beta testers for 2.0 I'd love to help out!!!

Just did it. I was having issues with my install so I reflashed FF1.5. EXT4 was still on and I installed FB2 over it no problem so far. I did have no service, but I rebooted my phone and it came back on. Im loving FB2 so far for the initial impression. Seems quick and smooth and I hope it might make it in FireFly 2.0! I haven't tested with bluetooth but the last FB kernel had some issues I believe.
