Well sense you dont have to flash stock or disable vodoo and can flash this right over FF wouldnt this be just what you wanted?:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
To Flash the entire update would kill all the installed apps.

I like the blue dialer by the way, how about a green one like it. FYI, I am running Speedmod Kernel n. It improved by earpiece volume just a tad, quadrant score a couple hundred points lower, but still seems quite smooth. I could care less about the lock screens anyway, I use the pattern anyway. I also like the app called keep the lights on, it keeps the buttons lighted while the screen is on. It helps in the dark. You have to install it on its own though.

scratch that had allhsupa with beta have been 3g since dling the official
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Very true. You could use TIBU to back them up and to tell the truth if you guys like this rom as much as we do Phoenix I would get used to restoring your apps as Adam is a mad man lol. He is always trying to make things better and I am sure he will do the same with this if the source turns out to be worth it. I am doing up all my normal colors with the dialer. Just have to get them done. They will be posted in the Phoenix theme thread. Latest by monday.
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
recently got a Captivate and im just wondering: Whats the differences between Firefly and something like.... Cognition or Perception? Is it just the base rom that is different?

And is there even a difference between the Rogers 2.2 and others? oO Sorry for sounding like a noob
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
You won't go wrong to stick with whatever Adam posts. I found Cog OK and I think it uses the same base as Firefly and Perception uses the same or similiar base as Phoenix 3.5, but Adams work is outstanding and he tries to improve the functionality of the phone. Although his Phoenix 3.5 is good, Firefly's rom appears to be even more compatible with the captivate. I personally like Firefly just a bit better than Phoenix, but I like the Speedmod Kernel with it a little better, since the sound is a little louder on the earpiece when making or receiving a call. Ulltimately, it's your choice, but once you've esperienced Adams work, you won't fall far from the Apple Tree.
[Captivate Android Development] mi04se1:
Thats why I have the paid version. Makes restoring alot easier.
[Captivate Android Development] Angelmsx:
not sure if this was mentioned yet. but with this rom and also phoenix 3.5, the auto brightness doesnt really work, it defaults to the lowest level when enabled. other than that this rom is pretty awsome, real fast and snappy.

"End Call" button disappearing - AGAIN

A few days ago I posted on this problem I am having where when I am in a call, I go to another screen, Homescreen, for example, then return the the Phone, the red "End call" button disappears. In other words, even though I am still in a call, when I return to the phone screen, I get the keyboard as if it were a new call, where there is no "End call" button.

I am still having this problem on FF 2.0.5 even after I went through all the hoops to reinstall it - flash to stock 2.1, root, put the FF ROM zip and Update.zip on my sdcard, flash, etc. Strictly by the book. No modifications to the system (except I had to fix permissions to give ROM Manager superuser rights.)

This glitch means I have to wait for the caller to hang up, or I have to reboot to hang up. Very annoying and inconvenient, especially if I have been on hold for five minutes calling the bank or whatever and then have to waste time rebooting :mad:

A couple of guys reported earlier in this discussion that they had no problems like this. But I can't believe I am the only one using this great ROM that has the problem.

Please give it a try, guys. Call a number where you are going to get a recorded message telling you how to get through a labyrinth of "If you want English, press 1, for Urdu, press 2, etc." where you have time to go to your homescreen and then return to the phone app. Do you still have the red End Call button?

Thanks, friends.

Is that going to be yet another themed/stripped i9000 rom?
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
I called myself from my home line, answered, switched to homescreen, moved around through screens, launched browser, switched back to phone and my End Call button is fine. I repeated this on handset and BT headset, worked fine both times.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
It is a JS3 based ROM and is very quick and stable. Yes, it will be themed. That is the only way I do things.

Edit: You don't have to flash it if you don't like the idea of "yet another themed/stripped i9000 rom."
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
I am sure this has been addressed, but can I flash the FireBird Kernal in this?
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
It's a POP account using the native email client. Did it again this morning, 20 emails in the inbox. When I attempted to batch delete nothing happened. Had to open each one and delete! What a pain that is.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
25% battery after 25 hours!
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Thanks, mate for the effort you made to test this. I guess I will have to find another ROM. I can't find a solution to the problem and can't live with it.

Ben
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have you flashed a theme Ben or possibly changed out your dialer, contacts or phone apk for another one?
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Hi Adam and thanks for answering from vacation! Very early in the morning too, if you are still in SoCal.

To answer your question, no, that's the point I tried to make - my Captivate was as clean as possible with a new by-the-book flash and no modification or additions.

BTW, I didn't have the problem on the stock 2.1 that I flashed using the Odin 3.0 1-click. I didn't notice it on the COG ROM either, but I didn't have that ROM very long, so might have missed it.

Thanks anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I wish I could replicate this issue. Tell you what, I am just about finished with SuperNova, I just have to theme it a bit more and I will get it to you. It works great IMO, best work I have done yet. I will get it to you for being so patient.
[Captivate Android Development] xalman:
So if I understand correctly Supernova should be out today... does it replace firefly? will it be a new thread (that I have to bookmark and constantly refresh)?

I woke up this morning thinking that I'd be working in peace... I was going to flash back to FF from phoenix and life was simple... and now my whole world is falling apart LOL damn you adam for making such amazing roms... love your work bro :)
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Thanks so much Adam

The tone and quality of your threads and work have kept me on FF for a "long" time in terms of flashing. About two weeks give or take, ha, ha. I want to settle on a ROM and be pretty much done with this flashing business. No time for this stuff at my age LOL.

You are a very responsive gentlemen, and I will be pleased to try out your new ROM. I was going to give Phoenix a try, but you are saying your new one is the best work you have done, and that impresses me.

I too wish you could replicate the End Call button issue I have. I can't understand it and no one else seems to have it, so I have to think it's my technique flashing or maybe a hardware issue. Whatever it is, it looks like my only solution is a different ROM. God forbid I have to go back to stock.

Last detail, my Cappy is a 1010 build, I think. Builds seem to have some influence on certain behaviors of these devices. I found that build number info somewhere some time ago, but can't remember where I found it. That's the number printed under my serial number on the label under the battery, but not sure that's where I got it from orignally. Bought the device early December last year.

Many thanks Adam. I can't refuse your kind offer. I will stand by.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
If I can get help with the theme to fine tune it than yes, out today. It will be a new thread also. It is not replacing anything. Or maybe it will replace Phoenix. it is I9000 JS3 based and there really is no point to having 2 I9000 based ROMS I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Oh great! Just when I was really loving FF you do this! LOL! :D Can't wait to see it! I'll be watching for it!

You still on vacation in SoCal Adam? Where abouts are you down there?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I leave tomorrow at 4 am. I will be going to the Murrieta area. About 45 min north of San Diego. That is my hometown.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
Mine is a i896, Rogers version. After my S/N is 10.10, is this the hardware build number? Also purchased December'ish 2010.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Pretty near my old stomping grounds, grew up in Laguna, Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach! Loved it there.
[Captivate Android Development] xalman:
you da man... i think i'm going to flash to FF in the mean time.. I must confess that the thought of flashing to stock and staying there till Supernova came out did occur to me.. but then it would be a terrible sin to go back to any other ROM after trying phoenix and ff lol can't wait till your new master piece :D
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is awesome! I have a time share over in Laguna. I would stop by but it sounds like you moved away already.
[Captivate Android Development] tbrummell:
I spent a month this past summer in Temecula for work, it is gorgeous down there. A heck of a lot different then up here in the great white North!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I lived in Temecula actually. Right off of Murrieta Hot Springs Road!!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Yeah moved away years ago before it grew up down there and became traffic city.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
It sure did but I do enjoy counting the Ferraris that drive by every 5 min.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
10.10 or 1010 without the decimal? I don't know that a build number has any decimals in it.

I can't remember how to find the official build number of these devices, so I can't really answer you with certainty. I am pretty sure a search of the forums would tell you.

My comment about Build numbers comes from the fact that I do vaguely recall a thread in the Captivate forums somewhere, probably in Development, that offered some system app specifically for 1010 builds where the original software was not running correctly when installed on the 1010.

Point being, that different builds can have some minor differences, but unless your device is not giving you any specific problems that no one else seems to be having, then not to worry, right?

I probably haven't answered any of your doubts, but hope this information helps a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Build number is displayed under the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
Even on my old stock firmwares I can't press home screen and run the phone app to get the incall functions... iono if it never worked for me but I realized to end call after going to home screen during a call i would have to end it from the notificiation bar.

OH i didn't know I can rerun the call app from the notification bar to get the options back (by pressing the green call button within the notification bar). So for me there is no issue with the end call button if I restore the dialer from the notification bar.

Give it a shot ben.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Ok so i've solved the email deletion issue. I simply killed the process in task manager and re-started email. Now this doesn't make sense as I'd rebooted the device a number of times to no avail yet it's functioning correctly now. Go figure
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Well, you old "devil" you, LOL! Yes, that is an acceptable workaround that I didn't know about. Many thanks.

I am sure I was able to go back to my in call screen from home screen using the phone app icon on the dock, when I had the 2.1 stock ROM, but that's OK.

What still puzzles me is the several answers from members that reported no problem. I wonder if they were also going back from the notification bar?

Thanks again. I really appreciate your taking the effort to respond. Come on down to thaw out in South Florida and I will offer you a nice cold bottle of Tsing Tao or whatever tickles your palate.

Ben

P.S. I may still give Adam's Supernova a shot, but I am kind of tired of going from one ROM to another. On the other hand, Firefly still has problems that are annoying, and need to be patched, such as the high resolution video glitch. I know there have been solutions put up in the thread, but it's a PITA to have to go through and pick them out and apply them. If Supernova is relatively free of that sort of nuisance problems, it may be worth trying out.

Great ROM Adam.

Quick question, I haven't seen it posted.

I am unable to download/preview .mp3s from Gmail app. I get a "player does not support this format" error.

I can however navigate to Gmail through the browser and pull and play the file.

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.

I'm running Cognition 3.02 and my bluetooth is broken. I am looking for a non 2.2.1 rom (2.2.1 roms don't like my phone) that has hsupa, bluetooth, ad blocking and gps working. My gps has always worked no matter what rom I have flashed and I am using an i896 on Rogers. Does this have all the above features working? Sorry, I've searched but this thread is too big to read every post.

Edit: I prefer to run Jk4 modem and SpeedMod k12t kernel as well.

bluetooth problems

Firefly was first rom I tried and it is really good but I continue to have bluetooth problems with this rom. It was worse with 1.5 and a little better with 2.05 but the bluetooth connection with my car intermittenly disconnects. I have to turn bluetooth off on the phone and reconnect on the phone before I can get my car to reconnect. I never had this problem with stock rom. I briefly tried the Paragon rom because of this issue but it wasn't any better with bluetooth and Paragon was worse with some other issues. Does anyone else have this and know of a fix? Does anyone know of any roms that are better with bluetooth - I have seen some posts suggesting that this is a froyo issue but am not sure
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I have no issues at all with bluetooth fwiw. Well nothing more than with the stock rom. Periodically the headset disconnects but that happened on the iphone too.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
oh man, this new SuperNova thing works great with my cars built in BT receiver. Not a single dropped connection or static filled call.

[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
I have never had random shut downs with Firefly, Supernova or any other ROM. There is a thread about this. I don't know how accurate it is, but according to a supposed leaked Samsung document, certain Captivates have that problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I'm on the west coast and it works for me just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
That would be correct, I had one! Had it one week and started it, took it right back and got one out of the imei range.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
are you using supernova? or ff?
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Clearly, you have not tried the Supernova ROM. It works in the U.S. Adam would not publish it otherwise.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Supernova - first impressions

So far, so good. This is a fine ROM IMO. In the first few hours I have used it, no issues, and I am impressed with its theming, and smoothness. It is just a tiny bit short of Firefly 2.0.5, in my particular case, as far as Linpack and Quadrant results, but still very repsectable. We know that Adam doesn't put much stock in the benchmarking, and I agree, the proof is in the pudding.

The theming is good for my old eyes. Battery percentage, and all that other stuff up at the top, are very legible. The clock is up there, too. That's a good thing. The video camera works at all resolutions. GPS is very good, I lock on 7/7 inside my Florida house with tile roof :p

FWIW, I flashed the ROM right on top of Firefly 2.0.5 with no problem. No going back to stock and all that (silliness?) If any of you gurus can tell me this is a no-no and convince me of same, I will listen, but you have your work cut out for you.

I encourage everyone to give this ROM a try. I haven't made calls to test their quality, haven't tested Bluetooth, haven't done a buncfh of stuff. I am not a geek, just a user. My first impression is that this is another solid effort on Adam and his team's part, and I like it.

Kind regards from SoFla

I'm on Supernova now, previously FF 2.0.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
well thats why i was asking lol....is it that obvious?
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Fantastic job Adam with Supernova Adam! I've been using it nonstop pretty much for about 5 hours or so now to test it. I'll echo what BigBen said and add some more to it.

Call quality: seems to be good so far, half a dozen calls and all were clear.

GPS: Seems a bit degraded from FireFly to me. While i can lock 7 indoors and 9-10 on a road test today it wandered off track a bit. Didn't get that with FireFly. I really liked when it kept going while i as stopped!

Theme: My only compliant on the theme is the gray menu icons, which was one of my complaints with Eclair. But then I don't know if Adam is done with this either so we'll see. I like color!

And thank you Adam for the BIG battery numbers! :D

Try it for yourself, I really like it and i'm sure you will too. Another solid winner for Adam!
[Captivate Android Development] Owais1437:
which is the best kernel to flash with this firefly rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Don't know that there is a "best" kernel. I used it straight out of the box and had great results. Others flashed other kernels and liked them as well.
