No you don't need to root. So save the update.zip, odin back to stock, master clear just in case, apply update.zip, apply the new rom, done.

That's definitely the fastest way to go, skipping the root and clockwork install. Always keep that update.zip file handy :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
New to flashing, but just wondering why it's necessary to go through this long process. All I did was backup everything with TiBU, and then used ROM manager to install Cognition 2.3b8. Did the same to flash 3.02, then 3.03 Update-2. It worked just fine for me. Why the long ordeal?
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
Did you do a clean install or a no-wipe update from Cog2 to Cog3? Do you have to disable the lagfix in the meantime? I'm new to SGS...
[Captivate Android Development] SlickyFats:
I ALWAYS flash back to stock first. I have installed tons of different ROMs and versions of each. You can run into major problems by just continuing to write over the previous ones.
[Captivate Android Development] KappaG9:
especially since the new Cog3.0 built with different framework than Cog2.3
[Captivate Android Development] neotekz:
would it be possible to add voltage control to this rom even though its not overclocked?
[Captivate Android Development] Mr Sin:
Yes, simple as flashing your kernal to glitterball's or paragon thru cwm, or another supported kernal of oc/uv, then install the voltage control apk by xan :)

Make sure to disable voodoo lag fix before flashing tho...
[Captivate Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
i cant decide between this or perception :(
[Captivate Android Development] sneakyws6:
Did you use Ti backup to restore you apps back to the phone. If so you more than likely chose the option that had a system data and that is causing the FC of the phone.

I had to reinstall cog 3 then made sure to only restore user apps and data from my Ti backup.
[Captivate Android Development] huchacool3:
I believe i did do that. Thanks for the tip, i'll try it again.

Edit: that was exactly the problem, thanks alot.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It can't be fixed. If you want BT calling working, use cappy roms with cappy kernels or i9000 roms with i9000 kernels.

CAPTIVATE ROMs (like Cognition) + i9000 KERNELS (like Speedmod or Firebird 2) = BT STATIC DURING PHONE CALLS

(Hope DG will add this previous line to the OP...)
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
He did :D

"Enable HSUPA with Firebird 2: (You will lose bluetooth for calls, full of static)"
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
This was discussed early on in the threads -- you could try either clearing the Dalvik Cache (Advanced menu in CWM) or trying a reflash if that doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] rob1216:
Hi im using version 3.02 but I changed it to use speedmod kernal and a different modem if I use the update download to 3.03 will it change my kernal and modem back to the ones included in cognition, also will it delete all my apps
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
No. Read the changelog. If it doesn't mention a change in the kernel or modem it is not going to touch them.

Also, as long as you use the update packages you will not lose your apps.
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
Hi, im using cognition 2.3b8

I can install the 3.03? or need install 3.02 first? :confused:

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
No, you can use the full 3.03 ROM (don't use the update).
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
thanks! im brazilian and captivate succession is here!

Cognition too!

Can the team port the Portuguese language to captivate?

would be perfect!!!! rsrsrsr
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
Thanks for saving me from detailing that tip. It's an amazing time-saver that I've also utilized through many cog and perc upgrades.
[Captivate Android Development] orthod0ks:
I can't get into Clockwork Recovery mode. When I select either to install ROM from SD Card or boot into Clockwork Recovery mode, the phone just boots into standard recovery mode, which doesn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I know but it seems it's not clear enough because people are still asking...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I've been asking many times if there's a way for SMS to show the time the SMS was sent instead of the time it was received, and I'm getting ignored like mad.

Also, I've run into the battery glitch again where the phone auto shuts down like I did a battery pull. Plugged it into the charger and booting up the phone, my Captivate reports it's charging with 25% battery life. Never had this problem before, and this is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I've already bump charged and wiped batterystats too.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I think I just used ROM manager to "Backup Current ROM" then "Reboot into Recovery" and installed Cog2 from there. Same for Cog3. I didn't flash stock or disable lagfix. It worked, but don't take advice from me I'm still trying to figure things out!
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
What sorts of problems? I mean doesn't flashing a new ROM by force delete the previous ROM? 3.03 seems to be working fine for me (except for Launcher Pro frequently restarting, but as I understand it that's a Launcher Pro running under Android 2.2 problem, no?) Did I just get lucky or am I likely to have problems down the road?

I suppose if I have to flash stock then I have no choice but to boot my computer into Windows, right? No ODIN for Linux yet?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Try recalibrate your battery like explained in this thread
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What I said I did is basically battery recalibration. Bump charge and wiping batterystats = battery recalibration.

I do appreciate your suggestion though. And I'm going to try to recalibrate again.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
If I flash this over Stock Rogers 2.2 JL1, will I have an AT&T bootscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the boot screen is not changeable no matter what you do... or else we would have all gotten rid of that ugly AT&T screen already!!!

I think you're stuck with the Rogers screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Donmotobike:
I know he doesnt but just curious to see....version 3.02 highest in quadrant test out of all the previous versions and it is very fast znd smoooooooooth.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Not sure... I believe flashing to stock with Odin One Click will give you AT&T bootscreen though
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
Oh, I thought it was obvious, but being "stuck with the Rogers screen" is exactly what I want. At least it isn't branded, just says I986, instead of the AT&T logo.

And to your comment about not changing the boot screen. Rogers Captivates change to AT&T boot screen after flash stock.

Wii Controller App

Does anyone know of a way to get a wii controller app to work on the samsung captivate? I have read that it's not possible with any of the apps out now... Every time I try to connect with my phone it says phone not supported or something along those lines... I'm running Cognition v3.02 so I thought maybe I would be able to get it to work. Has anyone found a way to get around my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Gee & people wonder why the mods want a 10 post minimum before one can post in the Dev sections:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
And, boy, does that make it ever so hard for us neophytes to get up to speed. One of the biggest issues is seeing 14 (made-up number) different ways to do things, 6 of which are wrong or leave out (insignificant to you) steps.

I have read this entire thread and most of the links to other things over 3 nights, and still don't feel like I can proceed to install Cognition with confidence of doing it right. Even in the post or two that I somewhat feel are right/understandable, there are huge degrees of assumed knowledge.

An example: someone says "put xxxx on the SD card"

To 99 percent of you who read that, you would know exactly what to do, and how, and which card was meant. My mind has to think...

now how do you do that?

And, which SD card--internal or external?

See? For us who are trying to figure it all out...incomplete info. But I will keep reading (all too often, between the lines), and analyzing, and web searching, and...

I guess I just wish there was a thread titled, "Newbie, here's every single precise step completely explained to install ROM"

1. Download the following to your PC from link provided and store at the location indicated (list)

2. Download the following from Market to your phone (List)

3. Charge Captivate to 100%.

etc.

You have no idea how ignorant we are. Just remember: there was a time when you knew none of this, just like us now.

3. etc
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Interesting. Sorry for my misinformation. So that would imply that it might be possible to eliminate the AT&T screen? I thought it was like hard-wired in there.

Yes, that AT&T logo on the front of the phone sucks.

I have found that reading a ton helps a lot in building my confidence to flash again as my first flash was done hastily without enough reading and low and behold, 17 hours later my soft bricked captivate is back up and running cog. That was a few months ago, I have been waiting and reading till recently when I felt confident enough to flash again.

Apprehension...oh yeah, but it was smooth. You will always be a bit unsure the first couple of times, but be prepared. Know how to use odin and which odin you should be using...have a jig ready in case you really mess yourself up, know how to get into recovery, etc...Once prepared, just take the dive and see what happens. Luckily, if it goes sour, you won't be the first one to have the problem and there should be a fix for it posted somewhere on these forums.

Where is this wallpaper located? After I installed this ROM I restored my TBU and it reset the wallpaper to my old wallpaper.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
What do you mean by that?
[Captivate Android Development] cncmxz600:
Sorry ratflinger. I'll move my question to the Q & A section. Just thought I might get a better answer in the Cog forum. Maybe something to do with a bluetooth version issue? Eh, what do I know.

Thanks anyways
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I think to get rid of the AT&T logo you need to modify the sbl.bin, and I don't think that's possible. Also that is why flashing to stock removes Rogers one. Again, not sure this is correct info...
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
It's in the framework-res.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
For myself, LP is working flawlessly. And yes (on the flashing).
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Or just use a diff launcher for a min and hold screen like normal. Then u will see 2 choices for wallpaper. then go back to ur normal launcher,

On another note.

I asked earlier if any one knew why i cant go back after clicking contacts. It will vibrate but that it. Only way out is home button.
[Captivate Android Development] rsasecure:
Thanks Pal! Found it / expanded the framework-res.apk / pulled the default_wallpaper.jpg out and set it as my wallpaper.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Hmmm... is no one else having problems with LP? The trouble started when I flashed Cog 2.3b8, and continues with 3.03. It just randomly restarts when I go back to it from some others app. I assume that Android is shutting it down to make space in memory for other apps.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
The quick answer is no it won't work because the version of Bluetooth on our phones is newer than what the Wii controller supports and to my knowledge the necessary interface software hasn't been updated to account for this.

[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
Anyone talked about 2.2 vs. 2.2.1 yet? One trivial thing I've noticed is that I can't install the apparently 2.2.1-specific "black market" app that I'd used in other ROMs.

And speaking of other ROMs, I just couldn't get the battery life I get in Cog 3.x regardless of kernel or modem. Could this be partly because even with the battery tweaks, etc., that the SpeedMod, Firebird et al kernels simply suck more juice vs stock (regardless of undervolting, which I tried), or could this be related to 2.2 vs 2.2.1?

Oh, and, possibly unrelated, anyone using SGS Tools much? i.e. some of the replacement apps? I've noticed that some of those haven't even installed on other ROMs (i.e. the replacement Gallery).

Launcher Pro Issue

Hi everybody. My first post here. I have an issue with LauncherPro in the new update of Cognition 3.03 Followed all the rules so I know what I am doing here when flashing ROMS. Here is the problem. Say I press on the big center Square icon to see all the apps and say I open Calculator app. When I am done with calculator app, I press the Back Button key once to leave the app. Why does this action returns me to the home screen where I can see the dock and a wallpaper? I want to switch for example to another app without leaving the screen where all apps are located. What can I do to change that? It's so annoying when u open an app and then press back key u immediately end up on the home screen where all the shortcuts and dock icons are. Please help me with this problem if its a problem. In 3.02 with regular launcher, no problem at all. U open app, when done and press back key, u end up at the black screen with all other apps free to choose what to open next. Hope I was clear with the issue. Many thanks for your reply guys because I am at a loss here.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
v3.04 is LIVE

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Sounds like an extremely nitpicking thing, use a different launcher. LP does it that way so it not crapping all over the memory in the background.
[Captivate Android Development] Mr.Pirate:
Never thought I would get a reply from DesignGears. I salute u for clarifying that to me. I was going crazy with that thing. I even re-flashed everything because of that. So it's a LauncherPro thing. Oh and what happened to the wallpapers? In 3.02 there were plenty of them. Now, its only couple of them? And one more final thing. I have to know. What is the proper way of updating Cognition ROM? There is too much confusion here. Many thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] JBLogic:
Glad i paid attention to my download size.

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

[Captivate Android Development] Auridran:
Is the AOSP lockscreen included in 3.04 blue themed like the stock SGS theme, or is it the totally stock green?

Also, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere since the first or second version of 3.0, so I'll ask it. Is voice processing possible on this ROM like the stock ROM? If it is, is it possible to flash another kernel and modem and still have the voice processing option?

The answers to these questions may get me to flash yet another rom. Thanks for your time.

[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
DG, I LOVE your work, and you are one of the most active developers around for the Captivate. But PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, stop switching back and forth between lock screens! I know it may add a slight bit of bloat, but could you just comprise and include BOTH in the ROM? I love glass lock and only use your Cog versions that include it, but I know others like the stock lock. It's really frustrating to only be able to update when you change your mind about the lock screen.

You can try backing up and restoring Message 2.1/2.2/2.2.1 depending on what you are on right now and see if it restores them.. AFAIK I don't think TiBu restores SMS messages.
