Not in the root of the phones systems dir, but in /sdcard/aRoms/, make the aRoms dir yourself and it'll be right on top of the list when you select install rom from sdcard, browse for file.

As far as flashing one way versus the other, that boils down to what works well for you and your phone. I personally just keep a copy of CWM's voodoo enabled update.zip in 3 places on my phone just in case and use it to get into cw recovery and flash the rom if coming from stock.

I haven't gone back to stock in a long time. I never master clear anything, wipe any caches, etc., etc., but this is because I've had zero issues doing it that way and because I can't get my PC to recognize my phone in download mode anymore.

So I have to do it without going to stock, I just disable voodoo through either CWM or using the folder method and install Rom from sdcard in Rom Managers options or the cw recovery.

I know that's almost a non answer but it really does come down to what works for you and your phone. Get a few flashes under your belt doing it per the Devs instructions (so you can blame the dev, ;) ) and then start figuring out which shortcuts you can use. :cool:

okay i am about to flash my captivate to the cognition 3.04 rom but i am new kinda new to this. do i need to root the phone again after i flash it over. or is this rom rooted already. and if i do. where can i find the process to root cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] shawn122:
No need to Root the phone again after you flash.

Have fun!!! :D

I've been using the modded twlauncher. I believe it uses less memory and resources then the other launchers. What does everyone think? I just want the launcher that uses the smallest amount of memory and resources.
[Captivate Android Development] thejanitor86:
sweet. thats what i wanted to hear. not like that was the difficult process between the two. now i guess i have one more question. i am just running a rooted stock rom. should i use odin to get it back to completely stock. or can i just unroot and flash it over.
[Captivate Android Development] tsncs:
Anyone know how to fix the lockscreen? If not, it's no big deal, I just like the one that came with this ROM. IDK why it changed back when I reinstalled my apps from TitBu.

Also.....a big thanks to the developers! I am amazed at the work that goes into this.
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Thanks for answering none of my questions. It's much appreciated. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Wrong. At least take the time to read the while thread before you start posting misinformation.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Never, ever, unroot unless you're taking the phone in for repairs. Anyone who suggests this as an installation step has it all wrong.

Either just flash over after clearing data and cache (some people forget this) or Odin back. I'd try the former before messing with the latter... But try Odin if something goes odd after the easy way.

Oh hey, thanks you for correcting me. I'm really sorry about giving out any incorrect information. I have been reading every post since the thread was created which is why I included the disclaimer "as I understand it". Wow, I'm glad I didn't cause that guy to brick his phone. It could have been so much worse. Thanks again and have an awesome day! :)
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
For us who are trying to learn, posts like...

Please be helpful (most appreciated), but be sure what you offer is right.

IMEI and Product ID question with Cognition

Ok, I've been running on the leaked "official" 2.2 ROM for a month or so. It's been fine, but after a month I've now seen all the issues and glitches. I recently had to flash back to eclair after my phone ended up in a reboot loop.

So, I'm thinking about trying a custom ROM. I like what i've seen with Cognition and the praise it seems to get from those who use it.

I'd like to flash it, but I'm concerned as I've seen other posts (not in this thread) about custom roms causing issues with loosing your product id and imei record in the phone (if i'm reading right, its in the nv_data.bin).

My question(s) is this a standard thing with all custom rom's? If so, what issues does this cause if this occurs? If not, Does Cognition ROM have this issue? Lastly, if I flash back to stock eclair later using odin will ATT still see that i flashed ROMs before thus preventing me from getting a new one under warranty in case I brick it?

Sorry for the laundry list of ?'s. I'm new to this and after flashing ROMs on the far more complicated and less useful WinMo platform I'm still a little cautious and want to read as much as possible before flashing to custom roms....

Thanks ahead of time...XDA is a FANTASTIC place to educate oneself...
[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:
Out of curiosity, what Quadrant scores are you guys seeing with Cog?

I just got a 1403. Isn't that a bit low?
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
back up the EFS folder just in case...

I lost my imei number but not because flashing a ROM, was because I was messing with the nv_data.bin file, I was able to restore it because I had the EFS back up.

I my case with Cognition there is no issue with the Imei or Product Id when flashing.

Best regards!
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
You're right, that's not quite as inflated a score as other ROMs I've seen. :D

Seriously, don't use Quadrant. It's been said a million times it's not a good test on true performance for our phones. I use the "feel" test. If it feels smooth to me, then who cares what my benchmark score is.
[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:
Oh, I was actually using it to try to kill my battery - thought that would lower it quickly with a few runs. But then remembered most people getting 2,000+ so figured that was weird. ;)

Well documented. Not sure why it's not in the OP, maybe it is, but, all #'s must be in the (EDIT) X-XXX-XXX-XXXX format. One user created an app that will modify all of your google contacts, you'll need to search.

[Captivate Android Development] m37h:
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't I896 and I897 the same? I know you can't just simply mix and match ROMs and updates created for each.

I THINK even though DG is using Rogers 2.2 as the base, everything was changed to I897, so basically this is I897 ROM. I would also like to know for sure if this is the case.
[Captivate Android Development] m37h:
Since you already have 3.02 you don't need to use ROM manager to apply 3.04, if you don't want to go back to stock.

Titanium Backup > download the 3.04 Cognition Rom > put it in your internal SD card anywhere > go to recovery mode > apply the rom zip file, you should know where it is > restore your Tibu backup

I asked previously whether we can apply system data if we're going from 3.xx, but no one answered. DG?
[Captivate Android Development] rsasecure:
Let me clarify. sending text messages works. Sending a picture messages does not.

Example: I can send a contact a text no problem. I try to send the same contact a pic no good ;)

P.S. Use to work when running Cognition 2.3b8
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Allow me to clarify

EDIT: MMS(Multimedia Message) WILL NOT WORK UNLESS THE # is in the X-XXX-XXX-XXXX FORMAT. That is all.
[Captivate Android Development] rsasecure:
Understood. So the only change here was the ROM Cognition 2.3b8 -> Cognition3.03.....

I've tried x-xxx-xxx-xxxx and xxx-xxx-xxxx. Is the utility you attached something new to be used with Cognitiin3.03?
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
I don't understand X-XXX-XXXX.

How do you fit 999-888-7777 into that format?
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Apologies:

X-XXX-XXX-XXXX

I've attached the file from the user that wrote this app. I wish that I could remember his name to give him the appropriate credit, but, this will modify all of your GMail contacts. EDIT: User is mmoorman12
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
pretty sure he messed that up...

needs to be xxx-xxx-xxxx

none of this: (or anything like it)

x (xxx) xxx-xxxx

x (xxx)-xxx-xxxx

x-(xxx)-xxx-xxxx
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Speaking of that DG. Is there any reason for this, or any plans to fix this? It seems a little crazy, esp since Outlook will format #'s with (XXX) if you have your location set in Windows.

Hi, I just flashed 3.04 and I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble getting the phone to charge to 100 percent? I was on 3.0 3.01 3.02 and 3.03. Haven't had any issue on those charging to 100. After i flashed 3.04, I recalibrated the battery and wiped the bat stats but no good. Charges to 99 when done while turned off and when plugged back in after turned on to get to 100 charges to 96.

Any info would be appreciated. thanx.

[Captivate Android Development] Krynn!:
If you're switching android versions, there's always a risk when you try to restore any system data. On the other hand, it's a fairly minor risk with the SMS/MMS data set. The following procedure has worked great for me through 6 flashes, as well as for 5 other phones that I've helped people with. Your mileage may vary.

Good luck!

Fire up Titanium Backup, go to Backup/Restore, then scroll down until you see

[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2

You may find it easier to find if you rotate your phone to landscape. Look for one of the green lines.

It will end in a 2.1, 2.2, or 2.2.1 depending on on the rom you're running.

Select the Dialer Storage entry.

It'll ask you what you would like to restore, but the only choice will be Data Only. Select it.

Wait for TiBu to notify you that it's finished (check your notification bar), then reboot your phone.

Check your messages. Everything should be there.

Restore "[sms/mms/apn] dialer storage"

Then kill the running messaging client in the background or reboot.

FYI when i updated from stock 2.1 to 2.2 the 'phone' didn't like something about restoring that storage format and would repeatedly FC. Fixed this by going into airplane mode and then clear data on dialer storage. (You wont see this behavior immediately, only after reboot/'phone' is killed)

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Try wiping the battery stats... With the phone on, push and hold the power button and when the menu appears, hit 'Recovery' (in other words, boot your phone into recovery mode), then, using the volume buttons (down scrolls down, up scrolls up) scroll down to 'advanced', then hit the power button to select this, then the third option down in the new menu is Wipe Battery Stats so once again, use the volume button down to go to that option and use the power button to select this option.

If that doesnt work, Id say you have a bad battery.

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Hey DG, two quick things to make you aware of...

1. The app 'Voice Search' is out of date in your rom (and has been since I started using your rom). The market for some reason doesnt see the app but if you do a manual search on the market for it, you'll have the update option available.

2. If you enable the play tone on connect option for voice calls in settings, all phone calls will disconnect when connecting for phone calls.
[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:
That's why I jumped on this ROM as opposed to the I9000 based ROMS. Based on the Captivate.

Oh so I can just jump straight from 3.02 to 3.04 (just noticed there was no update .zip for it). Then again, I don't really have the issues some are having in 3.02 so might as well stay with it.

As for the number, texting was always odd with this phone for me. At times I get (xxx) xxx-xxxx, other times it's +(xxxx) xxx-xxxx. That actually seems to be fixed with this ROM though, finally!
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
It's a PC app. If you still can't send MMS I'm not sure...Perhaps someone else could provide input. Maybe APN settings, maybe just need to re-flash

Also, not sure whether the proceeding 1 is necessary, however, as DG point out any parenthesis will make them fail
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
I am currently running Cog 3.02. If I want to go to 3.04, do I need to flash back to stock first? If so, do I need to first disable voodoo lagfix? If I can go directly to 3.04, will I lose any apps, settings, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
you DO NOT need to disable lagfix, but I did when I upgraded from 3.03 to 3.04, so I guess it wouldn't hurt. My phone is working flawlessly.

When you flash, it's a good idea to master clear/factory reset, so yes, you will lose your apps and settings. Titanium Backup is a backup utility that can restore your apps and data. Make sure you don't restore system data though, as it can cause problems.

Rolling back to a Captivate ROM due to all the issues I've been having with JPY and network speeds. If it stays permanently at a decent speed, then I'll be happy. I'll pay the HSUPA price; I only use UMTS most of the time anyway.

Is this running a basic stock kernel? I'm debating whether to go with this or fish in the murky waters of JPY and going with Perception.

I agree, 3.02 is working just dandy.

Besides, I am still irked about switching the Launcher to LauncherPro. So I figured I'll stick with 3.02 since everything is doing good.

If anyone can let me know how to install the original launcher to the latest version of COG then I'll probably update just to stay current. Is it called Launcher2? That launcher from 3.02 is the best IMO. Simple, smooth and to the point.

On the "seat of your pants" subjective scale, the "as is" 3.04 is smooth, fast, and efficient in both processor and battery usage.

On quadrant runs, it ranged between the 1500's and 1700's (with the vast majority of the results being in the 1600's). She's no slouch.
