What do you mean by this? If I use a custom theme, I can revert back to stock theme, then flash say FireFly 2.5 to 2.6 update and all shall be normal?

So it's still raw. Hurry up and put it in the oven! :p

Have you tried clearing cache and davlik cache?
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
That's understandable. Thanks for looking into it. I wonder what 2.7 is going to bring us :D

Thanks for all you hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] juliobahar:
I have this market issue long time even before FF 2.6. I tried this method before and now following your advice. But it doesn't seem to fix this problem.

Some installed apps never show under "My apps" in Market.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
are these invisible apps themed by chance? that sometimes breaks the signing and it won't show up in the market anymore as installed.
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
I recently had the same issue. I was able to fix it by launching the market and then toggling airplane mode on and off.
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
firefly + touchwizGTG launcher can?

or is there any way to make launcher to look like touchwiz?

Bring on 2.7! go android!
[Captivate Android Development] DON2003:
I install GTG TW 5 icons via SGStools, works fine
[Captivate Android Development] k2ham:
I tried suckerpunch 59 and installed it via the kernel flasher. I saw you warning and thought I dodged the bullet since it seemed to be working ok. Last night I rebooted the phone since I was having some trouble connecting to my work (juicedefender related issue I think) and the phone started boot looping. Had to start fresh again and build back with the full 2.6 rom. No more kernel flasher for me, at least not wish suckerpunch.
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
OMG that is the most ridiculous thing ive seen all week

Sent from my firefly captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Sorry my warning was too late for you :(

I have completely trashed kernel flasher... I am in recovery enough anyways that another "install from SD" is pretty easy to do while in there :)
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
agreed ever since go launcher dropped I have been using it on my phone and my wife's phone

that's one of the reasons I like go launcher because it mixes in elements of adw and launcher

LOL... insanity.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
hahaha first thing in the morning and my gf is wondering why I'm laughing so hard to wake her up.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
the reason i went with adw at the end was, customized icons look much better with adw.

i didn't like how go launcher reshuffled the dock in landscape. go launcher does seem faster though.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
First off I would like to say this is the best ROM I have installed so far and thank you for the hard work that went into putting this one together! I like it so much I added Firefly in my sig...

Second, I am having trouble getting my battery to read 100% after a charge. It always reads 97% and I cant figure out how to get it to read properly. I have tried the wiping battery stats used in post #3 along with using a command line Terminal-Emulator as suggested.

Third, I was wondering if there was a lagfix in this ROM and how could I get a better Quad score. It is running smooth for a little while but the crispness of moving threw the screens slows down after awhile and was wondering if and how I can fix that? I am new to all this and don't really understand the whole kernal ect. I just install the ROM and what it gives is what I get.

Thanks,

Chad
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
found a small issue with the call recording package i think.

the dialpad, not for making the initial call, but while in a call, it doesn't have letters on the pad. sometimes, when you call businesses, you have to punch in the numbers that correspond with letters, for phone book directories, for example.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I like Zeam, too, which is definitely among the fastest, but I got spoiled on launcherpro's features and scrollable dock.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
LMFAO! Jokes
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Hey, I need someone who is running FF 2.6 ASAP!
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
For testing? :D
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yup, just want a second opinion on something. (something unique I just did only for FF ;))
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I recently switched from LauncherPro Plus to ADW EX. I like the customization available with ADW, especially the wide selection of icons. I have found that ADW has a bit if lag when first swiping between home screens. There's just not a good setting for the cache. But the main reason I switched was I got sick of not being able to put apps on my SD card without LauncherPro force closing at startup.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Interesting :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
oooh ooooh pick me pick me

edit: got beat... :p
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Need more than one?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Slots FULL!

Check your PM (in 10 minutes) for a quick test.
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Edit: disregard
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
i've noticed the battery stat thing as well.

even if i bump charge, while it will show 100%, as soon as i boot up the phone, it will show 98%.

i just received a second battery two days ago, G7, $14 from dealextreme, and this does show to 100%, so i am thinking this is a battery issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
what up?

10 bars

real rap raw

chocolate drop
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
As a built in function by Samsung, your phone does not charge the battery to 100% and hold it there. Once it hits 100%, the phone lets it drain a bit and then tops it off again. This is to keep the battery from over heating and to ensure longevity. Depending on when you unplug, your indicator can say anywhere between Full and 97%. This is normal. Some devs have been able to hack this so that the indicator will continue to always say 100% for a while after a full charge, but it's really not, it just says it is. There is nothing wrong with your battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Call Record and Phone

I found a problem with the call record add-on. If you make a call and cancel the call it will freeze the phone and in about 20 sec go into the boot animation "F" screen like you just rebooted. I removed the call recording and everything works as usual....

Also, there is a miss aligned button when you open the phone to make a call. The contacts on the far top right corner is cut in half..... Not an issue but thought I would let you know.... Great ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yeah, for some reason, it does that for some people and works for others. This is why I released it as an add-on.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Thanks for the information I didnt know that... The last ROM I installed did the same thing it went from 97% or 98%.....

xtremekilla09, I would like to test whater it is you have brewing up if possible... :p
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
makes sense, although i have no idea why my G9 would show different stats than my G7 battery.
[Captivate Android Development] darksum:
anybody else having issues with the heptic fix? it works fine when i just install it on FF 2.6, but when i try to install it over the Valle-honeycomb theme i get a FC vibration and a bootloop. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
really looking forward to 2.7.

i'm hoping it will fix my sound setting issue. well, there's absolutely no evidence for me to wish that to happen, but otherwise, i'd have to try a complete wipe to see if that will fix the sound issue...

edit: turned out to be an issue with Phone Weaver profiler app.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I regularly charge to 100% with the stock battery on this rom. It may not stay there long, but it will last a good 15 to 20 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Update.zip is needed for recovery to work. If you want to apply any theme / patch, you would need it. This is why you should not delete it.

As for keeping a copy of a ROM, sometime some of us act hastily :D and install a patch or a theme while on the go. I've had situations where I made my phone unstable enough that I had to reinstall the ROM. Similarly post 5688 by k2ham on the kernel causing boot loops. That is why I always keep a copy of a stable ROM on the card for these cases.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Hey xtreme, when you said you got 3 days of battery life earlier, were you using automatic brightness or manual brightness? I find that it has a huge effect on battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Speaking of battery life, has anyone seen the showdown post?

Go FireFly
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Damn right!

Edit: Post 500!
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Some Kernels introduced a slightly lower threshold for the Full charge indication to prevent charge of death (phone turns off when it reaches 100%). It should not be a big impact on battery life, but that is why you get 100% with stock based ROMs but not with a lot of the custom ones.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I was using automatic brightness, but I think I figured out why my results will be different than you guys.

I dont have a data plan, so my phone does not continuously try to connect. My wifi was on the whole time though, but I am pretty sure that data causes faster battery drain.

Sidenote: Testing went well. FF 2.7 should be out soon. I think you guys will like the surprise.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I been having this bug for a while maybe someone can help me out with.

Every time I reboot my phone the following occur: Wifi turns on, autorotation turns off, auto screen brightness gets unchecked, wifi sleep policy gets changed from "only when plugged in" to "never". There may be more but these are just the ones I've noticed. It doesn't happen right away, when it first starts the settings are like they were pre-reboot, but by the time media scanner is finished they change to what I mentioned above (and yes I've tried disabling media scanner).

I've tried flashing to stock and master clear and all that jazz and it didn't help. It's done been doing it on at least 3 different roms (supernova, cm7 and ff).

Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated it. at first it was mildly annoying, but it gets to me a little more every time.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Anxiously awaiting the goodness!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Ah...ok. Well the info I got was supposedly from Samsung, but I think your info makes more sense.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Well if master clearing doesn't help and its happening on multiple different ROMs, my guess would be that its some kind of hardware problem.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I'm anxious to find out if 2.7 is built on speedmod or onix (formerly suckerpunch)!

:D
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
Give it to me now!!! haha jk but ya excited.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
I am and ready to go!!
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Just got back from the dentist mouth is half frozen....but what do I have to look forward to??? FF 2.7 and the SURPRISE......life is now grand!!
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Patiently waiting, fully charged, for FF2.7 and Onix 2.0.2 to be released to make the switch from Speedmod K13C. It's harder than it sounds, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] 41LY45:
It's 3.34 AM. Not sleepy, phone fully charged. :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Give me a few more minutes, I am going to grab some lunch and then hook you guys up.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Ah yea that would explain it. 2G plus no data plan would save a lot of battery. I just leave it on 3G now. I used to toggle between 2G and 3G to save battery, but got lazy afterwards.

Aren't you in EST? SO you're eating lunch at 3ish.... >.< APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am on the east coast. I need to be reminded to eat. :p

Update is ready, get it from the app.

The server is giving me problems, so the download page is down for now. It should be up shortly (I hope).

The download page is down.

The server got a hiccup and I was in the middle of uploading the download page.

I will upload the entire site to my personal server to act as a backup. Give me a sec.

I will give you guys a new link shortly.

Here is the backup download page - LINK

Click on Mirror #3 if you want a torrent of FF 2.7
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
haha, I had to add the yummy, it just looked bad as SEX Dialer. Also, it would have been false advertisement.:p

There might have been a few things, I can't recall now. No harm in applying the official one.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I downloaded the update using the ff mods app. Successfully updated and flashed onix 2.0.1 oc #7 (100 hz).

Everything looks good so far. Dialer is interesting-- I like it!

Blue cwm with Onix is pretty cool, too... But maybe that's just because I had got used to the nice, warm green color.

I noticed "MISC" tweaks still show up as enabled, even though I don't see miscellaneous tweaks in Onix cwm. Is this cause for any concern, or can I just ignore it?

:)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Sweet! Will apply the update now. My battery is fully charged anyways xD

As always, battery mods work?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I still have the minor annoyance of the "stay awake" setting not sticking through a reboot. Other than that, All appears to be well and good.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
witch onix is default 1000 or 100?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
The Samsung keyboard wasn't in the test update.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I can also report that using the update, I didn't lose my battery mod or root.

This may be the smoothest update version yet, and I even updated the kernel.

xtreme, you are, indeed, extreme!
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
I assumed the 100 hz. I'm using it now with 2.7 and it's excellent.

Better download/upload for me, too, but you know that can be inconsistent.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
"MISC" tweaks are in Onix. He moved them to Kernel VM Management. From the OP:

What happened to 'MISC BATTERY TWEAKS'?

The tweaks are actually still there, I just moved them to under Kernel VM Management.. since the tweak actually writes to /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs and /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs , its actually a VM tweak.. I moved it to save some room for upcoming new tweaks.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
DOH!

Thanks, Johnny, you're tha man! I'm just FULL of senior moments since I turned 41...

Feeling slightly less paranoid now (thanks to Johnny Paranoid-- go figure!)

:D
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I know, I couldn't figure this out yet. I'll keep looking.

Default is 100 hz
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Does Onyx need to be flashed seperately? I didn't get it with the update.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
just me or is the download page not working?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
This is, to me, such a minor annoyance that I can honestly say it won't put me off firefly if you never get it fixed.

I just threw it out there so other devs wouldn't get jealous. It makes the rom seem, well, only slightly imperfect. ;)

I'm digging the speeds I'm getting with this kernel. I know it's based on speedmod, so I can't figure why my data speeds are noticeably better... Anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
It does. You can download it from this thread or through SGS Tools / Rom Tools / Captivate Kernels and flash with recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Is it pre installed with a clean instillation

not

an update?
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
can anyone link the download for 2.7 full version (not update.) the download section on FF site is down and I want to get this.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I just tested it and it worked for me. But if it still doesn't work for you try using the firefly app.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Yes it is pre-installed on the Full ROM

You can get it here (Link also in OP)

There server is still not letting me access the files, so till then use the backup site.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
X the site just came back up for me... weird when u linked it it worked but didnt work before!

THANKS. Oh the site looks differnt from ur sig, no wonder.

also the poster above X, the app didnt work for me lol. dunno why

i like chicken
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Nice update Xtreme as usual, love the dialer! One thing I did find however; in Settings/Locale & Text/Samsung Keyboard, the display is visually messed up.

Have a couple of battery requests for you if they'll work in the FF framework.

I actually used both in the themes and they're nice;

crysis eVolution battery

And the one from this theme if possible;

Antondas theme for Phoenix Ultimate

Bug

Beside the Samsung Keyboard setting bug, I found another one: Power Control widget has no icon on it. It is just me?
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
I'm not sure of a app is conflicting with my phones earpiece but sometimes the earpiece stops working and I have to reboot my phone to get out working again. I will investigate this problem and see what the problem is. I'm still on 2.6 and I will update later and see if it fixes anything.

sent from my phone using my fingers
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Have you checked BT settings when it does that to see if it's still paird/connected? My Jawbone does the same thing periodically, just shuts off for no reason, of course it is 2 1/2 years old now, who knows.
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Thanks for the help, But i was talking about the phones earpiece in front of the screen, the speaker, but not the speakerphone. You were talking about a BT Headset lol. Thanks anyways!

EDIT: Could it be the kernel??? I'm on Suckerpunch right now but im fixing to update to 2.7 firefly in a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
thanks for the update x!

a small request. could it be 'un-sexified'?

the dialer looks awesome, but i do lose the call recording function...

i reflashed the recording file, but it's staying with the sexy dialer.

on the upside, the sound setting not sticking is not firefly issue. i installed 'Phone Weaver' profiler, same time i went from 2.5 to 2.6 and that was doing that, i just figured out 10 min ago.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
anyone have link the default gingerbread keyboard? I don't like how the buttons don't have individual outlines and much prefer the grey style.

Thanks ahead of time!
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
You could just go into the market and download 2.3 gingerbread keyboard.

It is the default grey one
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
Cool, lemme try it out!

Do you know if the old FF has the paid version or the free version?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
X, out of curiosity why onix 100hz over 1000hz?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
I've always been using the Gingerbread keyboard by Steven Lin. That's a good one.

I like the rest of the changes though. Very nice. Especially the dialer.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
from the Onix FAQ

"Whats the difference between 100hz and 1000hz?

HZ is an internal timer value used by the Android/Linux kernel. It affects the timer granularity of some kernel functions. With Kernel HZ=100, the Kernel HZ<-->User HZ conversion is disabled, giving better battery life while giving about the same performance (compared to stock)..With Kernel HZ=1000, it should give smoother results."

i would personally prefer better battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Most likely stability...

the 1000mhz version is supposily unstable
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
The 100 vs 1000 debate is simple. 100 is better on battery and 1000 adds more smoothness.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
What I have noticed, so YMMV, but 100hz I am able to OC to 1300, sometimes 1400 everytime, I am able to undervolt it also.

The 1000hz, I can only OC to 1200, and less undervolting is possible before charge deaths.

I personally have not seen real differences in smoothness between the two, nor real battery differences. They are small, as most people using them would attest to. Then again only like 1% of the world are true videophiles and can tell the difference in smoothness probably.

So in the end, because of increased stability, I end up using 100hz version.

USB Not working

I have a similar problem. After a flash in Phoenix I lost my USB. I get "Device Not Recognized". I tried cleaning port but still no luck. I can use same PC cable etc.. and connect my other Captivate. I can't wait to try FF if is as good or better than all the Phoenix I've ran. Can someone please help a Flash Addict. I'm going through withdrawal now.

Has anyone compared the GPS on this to Doc's 7.5 that was released some time ago? Anecdotal claims are what I'm looking for, mainly. I'm really happy with Doc's and have been for some time, but always looking to up my GPS performance if possible.
[Captivate Android Development] b97cherokee:
Yeah already looked there and nothing. I was actually just wanting something like the one shown in screen shot. Still when I do find it any idea how to install it?
