this is an awesome ROM. i flashed mosaic 2.3, but i flashed back to firefly because of how stable it is.

i might go back to mosaic, but firefly is soo comfortable it's great. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ryanshapiro44:
Notification bar really slow when I pull it down anything I can do?
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
I am in the same boat as you. FireFly is just so perfect that you can't help but hope when official 2.3 comes to NA that Xtreme makes a FireFly 4.0 2.3!
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Yeah, I still dream about FF.
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
mosaic IV is great and smooth and has a firefly theme, so it would be like running firefly on Gb

Sent from a phone controlling a computer controlling a different phone
[Captivate Android Development] juliobahar:
Agreed. AFAIK firefly is abandoned by Xkilla. Not in development anymore, unless one of us takes off from where he stopped.

I miss firefly as well, but Mosaic is no diferent to me. Thank u all the dev.s out there
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
It hasnt't been abandoned. X still has plans for it but now he has a full time job so he doesn't have much time for both Mosaic and FireFly. He's doing the best he can!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
FireFly might not be abandoned but truth be told, who's gonna run Froyo when Gingerbread is so smooth. The only way I see FireFly coming back to life is when Rogers releases Gingerbread.

[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
If you read back a few posts you will see a post by me explaining hoe to fix it
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I know I know, its been a while. I will try to put out an update soon.

Refresh the stuff and see if anything new can be done.

If I made it look like abandoned this, thats my bad. I put so much time and effort into FF, that I really can't imagine leaving it.

As wolf said, I do have a job now, and a few things happening in life. So between that and development of Mosaic, I really couldn't come back to it, but I will, soon.

Till next time...

[Captivate Android Development] MobileNick:
Congrats on the job BTW. I know that was a difficult period for you!

Can't wait to see an update to FF - esp if we can soon have a Gingerbread version! :)
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I am not speaking for X...but I think the GB version is Mosaic. There is a FireFly theme for	Mosaic IV which I am sure will come to MV soon. Maybe I am wrong. Just know that Mosaic has X's touch to it.

[Captivate Android Development] enaybee:
I am not much of a commentor. But this is the rom I always fall back on after goofing around with GB roms. For me this is the best, fastest and considerably battery friendly rom. Thanks X for the great job.
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
I enjoy this rom also. Thanks to all those who have and are developing it.

I do have a question though. Is there a way to uninstall the different music apps? The button on my headphones randomly chooses which music app to open and control. I have my one favorite, and would only like that on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Titanium Backup, I think it's included in the ROM, it's also on the market
[Captivate Android Development] MobileNick:
Thanks - I wondered about this. I did see the energy going from FF towards Mosaic so that's what I figured. But I also thought somewhere a few posts above there was some mention of a Gingerbread version of FF once the official GB ROM for Captivate is out ... something like that.

In any case, Mosaic is the GB ROM I've been eyeballing but still happy with FF! :)
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Quick question - is there still a swype fix zip file available? I just flashed my cousin's phone to FF 3.0 today, and the swype is all goofed up with the trial expired message.

(I do see the post by rquiett, but I'd like to avoid the extra step of the new beta.)

If not, no big deal, we'll figure something else out. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Look a page or so back to get in swype beta. X hasn't had time to fix it yet :o
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
All right. I was hoping someone had a copy of the previous fix that was in the ff app. We'll figure something else out. Thanks, bwolf.
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
This is my all time favorite rom! :'( RIP 2.2. I wish there was a way to have this on 2.3.4
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Ummm...there is. Flash Mosaic, and then the firefly theme.

Can I change another modem by choose one of them (Froyo based ROMs) in this thread ?
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
Yes you can
[Captivate Android Development] think pad:
This is the best ROM I have tried and on my Captivate till now.

Can I use ATT bootloader Gingerbread then flash Firefly as I think they are all sepated (boot loader, kernel, rom)?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Yes you can use GB bootloaders on froyo rom. Just make sure that you flash a froyo kernel after and then flash your rom.
[Captivate Android Development] drklazarus26:
KB1

Will a kb1 kernel and modem work with firefly? i know i sound like a newb but i don't wanna brick and im having trouble finding the answer myself.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
i would not have said that if it didnt work...
[Captivate Android Development] drklazarus26:
I didn't mean to offend. people make mistakes all the time. just want to be 100% sure.

I currently have a jk4 modem and speedmod k13E. Can I flash on top of what i have now or do i have to go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Didn't offend,

my signature, and all that look like it, mean team phoenix member so you can trust what anyone with one says :)

Yes you can flash on top of what you have, just disable lagfix if you have enabled it...
[Captivate Android Development] drklazarus26:
Cool man. Thx
[Captivate Android Development] drklazarus26:
How long should the att logo be on before i start to worry?

and yes i disabled lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
was it a kernel with voodoo? do you hear any robot voices? it could be auto enabling voodoo lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] drklazarus26:
yeah it turned on but the modem didnt work. going back to what i had
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
I installed the newest firefly and all was working fine. I installed a different modem from the sgs tools app. Everything was working good. Then outta the blue when the phone boots it says tapatalk has to fc. It does this for all my apps. I reinstalled the default modem. Still a no go. Factory reset. All the apps that come with firefly didnt reonstal. Any ideas why this may happened?
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Did u restore system data in tibu?

Also, this rom should be in development, it's awesome as gb is slow and unstable..

Is there any way to uv on this kernel? Or what is a better alternative kernel to do so??
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Actually, gb is really fast and quite stable. Which is why we made the jump and work on it every single days ;)

As for the kernel that comes with FF (speedmod), it doesn't allow OC/UV. Altough, Onix does if you wanna give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] dang3r1917:
I hate to ask this, but I feel like I'm not getting the absolute best performance possible by staying on firefly. While it was the greatest rom at its peak, I think GB roms are mature enough to beat it.

So, what is a good GB rom to use? What really appealed to me about firefly was its smoothness and speed, which is what I'm looking for in a new rom. Fancy animations and 20 lock screens aren't important to me. What rom/kernel is best now?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Well, Team Phoenix's Mosaic is made by the same people who made FireFly, but the best way to find out the best ROM for you is to try them all. However, Mosaic is certainly one you should try first.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
I was going to say Apex. Seems like a good stable GB rom right now. I like it's theme better than the new GB by mosaic. I'll be trying out apex tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Good luck. Nothing but quality roms in the forums. I am sure you will be satisfied.

[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Been trying out a bunch of different ROMs just to see what else is out there and nothing compares to anything Team Phoenix has made...

Just flashed back to stock/master cleared and need some advice... Come back to Firefly or go to Mosaic?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Mosaic

[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Mosaic it is. I think I just felt like reliving the past last night when I posted this... Rofl
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
So when the battery gets to 15% I get the low battery notification. It says battery is low, no similar inserted. I can click ok or factory test, which takes me to battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
Also, after ff install my phone sometimes randomly shuts down. Is this a known ff issue?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Not really, but I would suggest trying a different kernel and modem. There might be a conflict with your phone in this case.

Let me know if that works out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Love to see FF still going strong! This was my favorite Froyo Rom, bar none :)
[Captivate Android Development] amace04:
Hi, I'm still having issues with the Swype thing.

I've tried following the instructions before, moving the swype.apk and lib file to ext_sd, installing swype beta, but when I launch it, it says "Attention! Swype is not properly licensed. To Fix-Press "Disable Swype" and 1) uncheck the box next to Swype then, 2) hit the BACK button to return and "Generate License)

It gievs three options "Select Android Keyboard" "Disable Swype" and "Generate License"

however, when I have any other keyboard BUT swype active, the only button that's clickable is "Disable Swype" When I enable the swype keyboard, the only button is "Select Android Keyboard (which is not an option to enable)"

Any help? Would love to get this working. Much thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
Well its only happened twice. So if it happens again ill try.
[Captivate Android Development] amace04:
I restored to Stock, so don't worry about this anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] JJ133169:
Couple things. I also experienced OK battery with this rom... I think i was loosing like 4% a hour on standby though... =/

Also any word on a 2.3 version?

and anyone else experience random shutoffs with this rom? I mean my phone would turn off like once every 5 days randomly. This probably doesnt seem like a huge deal to most, but when you use it for an alarmclock there can be NO chance that it could do that.... I know cappys turn off on cold surfaces, but i mean this even happened at work in my pocket... so i Know it wasnt that.

EDITED :

I see at least one other person has experienced this shut down phenomenon. so its not just me... I was paranoid cuz I just got my phone back from samsung and I flashed this rom and it started happening... was hoping they didnt screw up. and Good that its not just me.
[Captivate Android Development] dungdinh:
There are many languages on version 3.0 but not Vietnamese ! Hope to attache it on next ! I love this Rom for my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] iJemuel:
Thank you very much this solved my problem. Instead of moving them I just deleted them and is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
How can I uninstall the music players that came with the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Settings > applications > manage applications > all > uninstall music players...

TiBu can do it as well
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
Thanks! I had already tried the manage applications route but it wouldn't let me uninstall. TiBu did the trick! Thanks for the tip!
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Amazing battery life

Damn the battery life is really good on this rom!! Phone has been up for 12h 52m 0s and the battery is at 88%!!!! With other roms I could never get this far!! Looks likes I won't be flashing to a new rom for a long time.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
firefly truely still is the gold standard!
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Have to agree with you, it's an amazing rom. :D

Oh damn, you're back :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] kofijay:
Still wondering if a 2.3 version is in the pipeline?
[Captivate Android Development] kofijay:
A quick question ...

Is it possible to install the dark keyboard that comes with FF3 on a different rom
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Can't speak for X, well yes I can. Mosaic is it. X, Zelendel, and myself put it together. The current version has a Fire fly theme. That's probably as close as you are ever going to get.

Sent from a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
If you're installing it to a 2.2 ROM you can flash the zip files on this page.

If you're installing it to a 2.3 ROM you can flash the zip file I put together on here.

If those both fail, you can pull the apk out of the zip files and move it manually with something like Root Explorer and put it in /system/app/. You may have to reboot, but that is essentially that the zip files are doing.
[Captivate Android Development] SnowBlind182:
Having Flashed pretty well every Rom there is for the Captivate i've seen all they have to offer and most are alike and almost all have their own quirks, this is probably the smoothest running Rom for consistency and speed i've used, I found with other roms just like stock software, started to slow down after they were heavily used for months and months, FireFly 3.0 has been on my phone for sometime now and works like the day i flashed.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to new stuff
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Yeah I love the rom keep up the good work.

[Captivate Android Development] micjenks:
couldn't agree more, I'm having some hesitation and lag issues with the rom I'm running now. Would never have left Firefly except swype stopped working. Maybe I'll give Mosaic a shot....
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Open the ROM with 7zip, go to /system/app delete Swype.apk go to /system/lib and delete libswypecore.so close it up and flash. Go to Swype.beta.com sign up and download the installer, run it. You now have firefly with a working Swype.

Lol and actually too need to do this for mosaic ATM, the Swype we included expired like 2 days after we released 7 :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] RojasTKD:
Others and I have posted info in this thread on how to remove the old Swype files so you can install the new one and have it working.

I'll see if I can find it... Or you can try searching for "remove Swype" or something similar.

Man, I should really fix that swype issue..lol

I just wanted to drop in and say whats up.

If and when I do find time, I will do a quick update, hopefully worthy of a Firefly Thursday (damn, good times :D).

I really appreciate all comments and all the help from everyone.

To be honest, I am a little surprised that people are still flashing FireFly (you have no idea how many messages I get weekly through the FF website). I am sincerely thankful to all of you for supporting my work. And to all those who left messages through the website, I apologize for not getting back to some of you.

Thank you for being a great community.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
If others used FireFly as the standard and made a Gingerbread FireFly (not the Mosaic VII) version, would you mind? I remember apparation was interested in it or something. I'd help out too if I know how.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
That would just be building a new ROM and calling it firefly... Can't really "use it as a standard"
[Captivate Android Development] DarkisFever:
I remember back in the day when I started getting into Android Custom ROM flashing and shrugging this one off for Darky's ROM. I have since regretted the day I ever did that (It was probably one day on Darky then just flashed over top for Firefly without going to stock). X this ROM was an amazing piece of work! I love every second of Firefly on my cappy. Mosaic has been really good to me and I really appreciate all you and the Mosaic team have done for us. Plus every time a Firefly theme gets posted I eventually start to install it on Mosaic :P
[Captivate Android Development] Steve Punter:
Okay here is a question that I'm sure many of us who still run Firefly would like to know the the answer to. If we switch to using Mosaic, will we be gaining any substantial advantages? Would Mosaic be faster, smoother, more stable, etc?

Firefly works so well for me that I'm hesitant to change to Mosaic out of feast of loosing something I already have.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Mosaic is just like the new generation of Firefly. The performance is insane and alot of stuff was added to Gingerbread. Don't forget that X, who made Firefly what it is, also worked on Mosaic ;)

And if you wanna keep the Firefly theme, we also have it as a flashable zip (instead of the current Mosaic7 red).
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
But as an I9000 build don't you lose some of the benefits of the Audience chip? Also, Don't I9000 Gingerbread ROMS tend to have worse battery drain than I897 Froyo custom ROMS? I think I am sticking to Firefly until we can get a hold of the I897 GB Kernel Source.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
That has been done.. We have roms based on I897 (Like Fusion).

As for the audience chip, I wouldn't worry about it. I honestly don't see a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
I only use my Cappy as an Andro-pod. I teach classes at Gold's and use tons of music and have hundreds of playlists. I can tell a difference in playback between I9000 Apex and I897 Pinnacle. Firefly has been the best for my needs so far though. Sounds great and has good battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Ummm

1. Firefly uses an I9000 kennel and modem so no audience chip support in it either.

2. The audience chip is for noise cancellation during phone calls. Has nothing to with audio playback...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Um like you guys (Team Phoenix) said before, those ROMs are like FireFly. It will never replace FireFly.
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
Sorry, I meant I9000 GB ROMS. I was unaware that the audience chip was only for calls though. I can tell a huge difference between I900 Apex and I897 Pinnacle though. The base sound output from Pinnacle is clean and is very easy to run through the soundboard at the gym.

Have you tried switching modems? I personally hate KC1 out of the UGXXX modems. I find JK4 and KG3 to be the best ones. Hate the others cus it gives me a roaming message here in Canada.

[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I believe not. The entire theme can be used on mosaic but not the current release (doesn't cooperate with themes).

MV was the last to have FF ported to it.still a great release if you're keen for green.

Themes for mosaic V work on VI.

So VI is the last one it was ported to...

After finally trying GB ROMS, I am back to FF. Sure it is a little old now but it is so solid and reliable as well as damn sexy thanks to all of xtreme's work on customizing it.

Go for it dude! Firefly is definitely the best rom I have used. The only thing holding me back from going back is GB's battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
I know this might be a stupid question but why don't dev's use the GB that is available for Canadians just like they used 2.2 for things like FF because it came to Canada first?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
The AT&T leaks came out well before the Rogers official release, I9000 before that.

The Canadian gingerbread is 2.3.3 the latest leak from Samsung for the I897 is 2.3.5. 2 minor version revisions mean less bugs, and since both are sorceless it wouldn't make sense to take a couple steps back.
