+1 Try a clean flash, instead of updating.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Yeah, I'm charging to full right now to do just that. You think I should flash back to stock and master clear also? Or just flash 2.8 full over what I got now?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Call recording with themes and @ johnny before his head explodes

Stock FF with call recording works. If you want to theme it you will have to remove some of the framework files from the themes as they don't seem to be compatible. Has to do with the ROM based on 2.2 and call recording coming from 2.2.1 from what I have figured out myself. I personally removed the framework-res.apk and all associated apk's that dealt with the phone from the darkfire blue theme and flashed from there. Worked like a charm, if you want it lemme know and I will link it to you...I don't want to post it because I don't want to take away anything from 10tonhammer who put all the work into the theme... I just deleted some crap.

@Johnny... relax :)

I had this issue for the last two weeks. Rogers is about the same as AT&T (everyone that works there has fetal alcohol syndrome combined with severe mental retardation - as a result, they don't know wtf is happening in other parts of their company and can't tell you what's happening)

This went on for me, mainly after midnight - six am. I called and complained because I am an air ambulance pilot and missing a call = people not getting to keep the finger they cut off drunkenly at 3 am on a friday night, or the northern remote communities not getting the women that have been beaten to a pulp by their drunk hubby's out to a hospital. etc.... Rogers had no clue wtf was happening, couldn't tell me squat. Got a manager on the line from tech support... I may as well have spoken with a three year old that was having a seizure the guy was so stupid... Turns out after me harassing enough it was scheduled work being done on the towers. Not you... my wife's phone isn't modded at all and isn't a cappy but is on the rogers network and she was getting the emergency calls at the same time as me. Compare your phone with another death star user's ... can't be too hard... just ask one of your friends with one of those flashy phones made for half-wits... what are they? oh ya! iphones... bet you it's the same :)

@Xtreme: what happened to the Erebos theme I sent you? :(

Sidenote as I saw a lot of kernal stuff: Went back to Speedmod k13A... still the best batt life I can ask for.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
You should see if you get it on stock as well. I'm having trouble placing calls in my area cause of damn AT&T. Called and they are "investigating" so idk it could be the network. Did some investigating of my own and it turns out my phone switched to the 1900 band when before it was always on 850. No biggie though as I can force 850 but it sucks for the iphones on my plan haha!Glad I'm switching to verizon in a week!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
That's what I thought. It couldn't be the ROM, kernel or modem. These things have never caused a problem like this. It must be network related. But, yeah, the idiots at the call center didn't know Jack Squat and the online tech support were equally as clueless. I'm not sure which of my friends is on AT&T off the top of my head, so maybe I'll just pose a question on the Bookface and see what folks have to say. Either way, I think I'll wait til the morning to re-flash. I really hate having to reset all my ringtones and preferences. ;) Thanks for the reassurance.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
+1 on calling AT&T and speaking to idiots. No one knows anything and everything looks "ok" on their part,HA!
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Where are you located sir?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Origional CWM GPS files needed

xtreme, I hate to bother you but would you have a CWM of the GPS files and settings? I have downloaded Plumbobs and Adams gps fixes and now im all boogered up. I have tried reinstalling the modem but my settings all stay the same and I don't know what they were set at to start.

Thanks,

Chad
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I am in Waterford, MI my friend.

Edit: A friend of mine who's on AT&T and lives about 5 miles away from me said her service is just fine. I think it may be happening when my phone enters sleep mode, but I don't have any apps that kill data or anything when going to sleep. Also, I just got about 10 texts in a row as if they were backed up and all went through at once.
[Captivate Android Development] quarlow:
Since the 2.8 update keep the lights on doesn't work anymore. It seems to have a longer delay than stock, but keep the lights on doesnt make a difference.

Other than that I like all the tweaks to the styling, and I hope going back to a non oc kernel will end my charging death.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I noticed if you flash a battery icon over a theme it changes more than just the battery.

But here is darkfire blue...fwiw.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Awesome UI updates!

Is it just me or is the recent apps popup a bit too wide on the right? Maybe a .9 file issue.

And the top right spinner in the xda app woobles...I think they should all wobble!

GB landscape battery rocks! Nice changes to the pattern unlock and text cursor dragger too!

[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I know a lot of people didn't notice all the UI changes, mostly because they are subtle, but there are 86 changes in total.

Here is a look at all I changed to really polish the Stock FF theme - Link
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Been runnin 2 days now. Its not as fast as others,but I think I noticed the lag after a few tweaks. But it seems more stable and like it moves at a ok speedy pace at all times instead of only working when it wants to. Im sure after playing around with it more I will get it to my exact liking but so far im loving it
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Cool. Gotta love variety.
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Dam.... that's a lot of changes.....

Thanks X
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I saw.... like 5 so far haha. On my phone I mean.

Yea I know bout the drop down bar, but I'm guessing some of the new UI tweaks will remain since the theme doesn't replace them? Then as before, just go back to stock theme before flashing the soon-to-be-released FireFly 2.9 no wipe update? Because last time I tried that, I was still getting constant FCs and boot loops, which xtreme says shouldn't occur now due to no framework folder.

Btw, my phone feels slower after the update... A lot less responsive and media scanner takes forever whereas before it was relatively quick. Could it be that the SD card fix is actually slowing the phone down? I haven't followed it anymore because they said the SD card fix actually does nothing in terms of performance. However I felt that with the proper setting, it does speed things up to a certain extent.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Well, if anyone cares to know, my reception problem seems to have gone away (for now) on it's own. It hasn't done it in over an hour. Hopefully this is the last of it. (Knock on wood)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
i just flashed this and it seems to have borked the font (default) in my app drawer?
[Captivate Android Development] quarlow:
I was also having problems with other su items. I reinstalled su in cwm, don't have the problems anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
loving the polish you gave her X ... well done i've been wanting a change for the status bar.... btw is it possible to add transparency to the status bar as well?

text pointer is awesome..

i'm also having more and more lag with media scanner, but i had a pretty glitchy experience with rescan as well so ... ?? any ideas would be lovely :)
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I care johnny.... ;)

I'm glad you didn't do any redundant flashing/master clearing etc....

can't complain when problems resolve themselves....
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
If I have Battery mod already can I re flash it without uninstalling it first, basically just going to clockwork and installing from zip again? Or do I need to go about it another way? I'd like to see these ui changes but this phone is my daily driver.

Hey. Most likely not related but ever they the modems and two kernel flashes as I would be listening to pandora at gym. Shower.then find out that I have data connection error. I flashed everything. I see 2 to 5 bars. Can text. Can call. No data. Then misteriously all works again. 1 day later I get a text updater from att that they have added two new towers to my area. Maybe not your phone or rom. I haf ph. 8 at the time. All the service providers are suposedly working on the 4g snag LTE stufg eighty now and out seems to be creating havoc.

Does anyone know how to change the number of homescreens on the default launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Sigh, well I'm still getting a force close on boot after going to 2.8 update. Also dloaded the Crysis battery mod again to see the changes to the UI and it didn't work after flashing. My phones been acting a little sluggish too so I think I'm going to go back to stock and get the Rogers screen back then do a full wipe/reset and go to 2.8 full. Also purchasing my first app for tibu full so I don't have to keep hitting "ok" 200 times on putting it back lol. Just have to make sure I copy everything off the internal SD card so I have it all set.

Wish me luck!

can someone post the gingerbread keyboard? The multitouch one FC's for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
@xtremekilla09

Nice work dude. I flashed it last night, and am pretty pleased with the overall performance. Will put it on for about a week and see how it fares after about 3-4 days of no rebooting.

The only inconvinience is the lack of call recording after a few failed attempts last night when trying that in conjunction with the blue theme. Will try it out on stock 2.8 and see how that goes. Otherwise, its covered all the bases I want.

And the best of all is the FF customizer app that downloads the whole bunch of available stuff than have the user go around exploring options. The boot animation is super cool, esp given its simplicity.

My first impressions on this ROM is that I think this would compete seriously with the only other ROM I used consistantly for over 3 months now :) Looking forward to use this till I can make up my mind to flash gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Send me a message, i have a modified darkfire blue that works with call recording. Does.'t change everything blue....maybe i will port it to work with call recording on my days off....not a far stretch...just some cutting and pasting to work ito the call recoding's.framework...shouldn't be too difficult
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is interesting, I will test it out and see if it should be included in FF.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Glad you like it.

There are always going to be issues with call recording mixing and matching with different themes. I JGGW will hook you up though.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
I am continually getting a force close upon boot up but I can never see what the force close is I just feel the vibration for it. I think I need to go back, master clear and then flash again.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Are you using launcher pro?

im fixing to do the cleanest flash ever,than ill let you know the results. im charging up now,gonna wipe batt stats,flash to stock,then charge up again,then root,then flash 2.7,then use the update.zip to update to 2.8 and then flash onix:)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Any reason you're not just flashing the full 2.8 package?
[Captivate Android Development] caviera:
some little issues

Some issues I noticed since upgrade from 2.7 to 2.8:

1. I cannot update hour and date, is cannot be changed.

2. Voodo control kernel is version 4, in ff2.7 kernel is version 6.

solved 1: Disable syncronizacion in accounts, then change time and date settings, then enable sync again
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
it could be swype.

my phone was force closing, with no messages and swype was causing it.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
If you did full flashes, you got the onix 2.0.1 kernel with 2.7, which has voodoo 6.

X went back to the stable standby, speedmod k13d, for 2.8, which has voodoo 4.

I don't know anything about the clock issue, though it seems like I've seen that complaint earlier in this thread?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Launcherpro FC's

I figured out a little trick with launcherpro...

Seems like every time I reboot, if I just leave the phone alone and don't touch it through the whole "media scanning" process, launcherpro almost always fc's.

You can either choose to make it wait or close it, it doesn't matter, because it's just fighting for cpu and memory, and losing to media scanning, so it will work just fine once the scan is complete.

On the other hand, and I really don't know why this works, but if I wait until the first media scan goes through its cycle on the status bar (sdcard logo with "media scan starting," then again with "media scan complete") and then unlock, I might get a moment's delay on some of my widgets, but launcherpro typically doesn't fc, even 2 or 3 reboots in a row.

Oh sure, you still have to sit and watch it flash "media scanning" near the bottom of the screen until you can really use the launcher, but hey, at least it didn't fc, right?

Just thought that was kinda interesting... for the lp users, anyway. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i pressed 'download' instead of 'recovery' after pressing the power button.

how do i get out?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Try pressing the home haptic and the back haptic at the same time.

If that doesn't work, pull the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
batt pull did it. haptic, no.

i was reluctant to pull the battery because last time i saw the yellow guy, i soft bricked my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I know exactly how you feel. If it's not hooked up to your computer, though, and you know how it got into download mode, you can feel safe.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
This was happening to me, and apparently its caused by apps installed on SD. Try moving them to the phone via settings > applications > manage applications > on SD card, and move them all over. Out phones have tones of space so shouldnt be a problem to move the stuff. This is a LP bug. You could try Go Launcher, if you dont have LPP.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
You can also reboot the phone by holding vol+ and power until the download screen disappears.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Every time I make a call...my phone reboots. Running 2.8, with speedmod and jk4.
[Captivate Android Development] jacorso:
I have had this same problem but just ignored it. I've now tried this and it seems to work. Many thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Same issue. I fixed swype by flashing the swype fix in the FF download app.

But I'm getting the reboot every time I make or receive a call. I did just flash the call recorder and I am running a theme.

I need to fix this before I leave the house for the night, lol. Really really don't want to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Did you also flash the call recording app?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I faced this when I flashed the call recording n blue theme. Right after call it wud FC n reboot. What else have u flashed over base 2.8?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I've no apps stored on my sd card. Never had a need to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yep...just did the revert and it works fine.

So head's up...don't flash the call record app from FF app. Especially if running a theme. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jacorso:
You might want to check though. I've never installed them there but I found about five that had installed themselves there. It must be a default for some.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I always just use the 3 button thing to reboot, Works like a charm...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I noticed that when I go to recovery to wipe dalvik cache, it says the following:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Dalvik Cache wiped.

I never got this before till recently. I'm not sure if it's caused by the kernel or FireFly, but is anyone else getting this?
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
It has never NOT said that on my phone. Even the replacement i just got.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Anyone get the call record to work? I have tried it on 7 and 8 and both ROMS force close and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
I've had the FC problem since X came out with the zip. I'm using stock FireFly 2.8 and have flashed the No Clock mod and the Android Dude Battery mod. I've had no problems with it from a clean flash, it's only when I apply those mods and add my apps back that I get the FC's. If somebody could take a look at those 2 mods to make sure it's not one of them, I'll go through my apps 1 by 1 to see which one of them is causing it. It may be LauncherPro for all I know.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
You know you can skip the rooting part right? You can flash to 2.7 (full rom) after you falsh to stock and master clear (clear all cache).

I assume the reason why you just simply want to update from 2.7 to 2.8 is beacuse you want to keep the same kernel? Otherwise, i would have done what jde suggested...Flash straight to 2.8. But....

to each his own. Just thought i'd share that with you. I have flashed that way many times and have had no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
it works for me, and i never had it fc and reboot on me.

it does appear to be incompatible with the 'sexy' dialer, so i had to install one of the other dialers from the ff app and reinstall the recording app. but it works. only thing missing is the letters in the inner dial pad.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Yes, you need to be on stock to get call recording to work...It doesn't work with themes. That is because the rogers 2.2 and 2.2.1 have slightly different framework.apk's. I will try to do something about Darkfire on my days off (darkfire blue) if it works then I will look at porting all of the linked themes over to work with FF's call recording...that is a big IF because I am still learning this crap and if I screw up I will take even longer but I think I have a pretty goddamn good idea of what to do. Wait out till next week when I am off and I will see what I can come up with.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Well se I had a problem last time when straight flashing 2.7 and then using tbu to restore apps. Everything kept force closing so I reflashed 2.7,flashed back to 2.6,restored backup from recovery and then used the update.zip and it worked fine. Idk,it worked though lol
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I cleared the battery stats using SGS tools, charged to 100%, turned off and charged to 100%, and turned it back on. Battery was at 100, and went to 99 by the time phone was fully up. Its end of day now, and I've posted the screenshots. Battery life is pretty good I must say. The whole of display time was for data transfer, setting up and configuring, making changes, downloading and installing apps, taking tibu backups, etc, and no movies or anything like that. 70% of time with display on was for data.

And then I loaded a weather widget (fancy widgets pro) with a 2 hour refresh interval.

Since the phone was turned on I had 2 gmail sync accounts, and had close to 400 texts on gvoice. Display brightness was set to 0, and I disabled the reduced brightness level in hardcore's kernel (was supplied with the ROM). All this and battery is still at 24% left. I am very impressed right on day 1. There's no lag either.

----

But I have something to note here. I am not sure if anyone noted this earlier or not, but felt its best I mention it.

The gallery that comes with 2.8 has the sensor bug. That needs to be updated with the corrected version using SGS tools.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Didn't know that- I'll definitely check when I get home later.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
You called it. Angry Birds (3 versions). All on the sd card. Go figure!

Expect a thanks when I get on my pc again this evening. Good call!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
If for some reason the gallery is the bugged one that drains battery, I put together a CWM flashable gallery zip that X has linked in the second post of the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Why not just use sgs tools and upgrade stock gallery?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I gotcha. Thats crazy.

Question: when you did a restore from TiBu, did you restore ONLY User and Data app? I believe it has been debated in other threads that when you do a system restore that it causes ALL kinds of FCs.

Anyways, I'm about to acquire this great Rom myself. 2.8 full wipe. I like doing full wipes when it involves a different Kernel. If anything i can go back to Onix. I guess i am the only one who has never had issues with Onix 3 days with average use without charge
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
I ran the batch restore all missing apps+data. Which is annoying because I have to manually click install lol. But im thinking of completely wiping the phone and restarting over. I used to do that like every six months on my intercept and it felt like it helped out for a while. But I guess that's why we have full wipe roms. Anyways,im sticking with firefly because it has awsome support. If cezar updates continuum I may have to test it out but I feel like ill always end up back with firefly.
[Captivate Android Development] dwmoss:
I'd recommend getting the paid version of tibu. It makes life so much easier.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I just noticed in settings it says Firefly 2.5...but I installed 2.7 & then updated to 2.8.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Well I moved the 20 or so apps from the card back to the phone, and rebooted but alas, the issue persists.... Same old lp /media scanner showdown..

I don't remember it happening with speed mod but honestly, the benefits of lp and onix outweigh the patience it requires to just let it finish...

But thanks , worth a shot.
