I think it has to do with FF having the hacked camera... I would presume that removing whatever makes the power button act as a capture button for the picture and reverting back to "stock" camera would enable the camera apps to work. I could be way off base here, that is just my best semi-informed guess. I am trying to get into the coding etc but have just cracked open my first ROM and am still figuring out the basics.

edit: Defer to Johnny Paranoid's post below
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
It must be a bad flash or bad install of those apps because my camera is able to be utilized by three different apps on my phone. (Retro Camera, FX Camera and Barcode Scanner)
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
This isn't OCed by default right?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Speedmod kernel is a non-oc/uv kernel. If you want one of those try suckerpunch, it is based off of the speedmod kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I was wondering the same thing and am backing up to try a few things, including swapping out the camera.

I've tried reinstalling the camera apps, it wasn't that. I'll try reflashing to see if that was the problem.

UPDATE: I didn't have any luck after reinstalling the update I downloaded through the ff app, so I downloading it from the site, then transferred it to the phone. After flashing that, I'm still having camera issues with all apps. This issue only started happening since updating to 2.4. Ugh, I really don't want to go through the headache of doing a full wipe, reflashing, and manually restoring everything on my launcher screens.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
K good. I don't want it to be oced
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
For future reference, if I flashed say update file to 2.3 to 2.4, but it's a bad flash, would there be harm in flashing again?

And what's the proper method of flashing the update files?

Also, I think some of the themes removes some of the changes made in FireFly 2.4.
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
If it was a bad flash and it still can work, I guess it would be fine to try again. But usually a bad flash would cause a problem. Updates are usually flashed simply through CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
If I flashed ff with only 85-90 percent battery as an emergency, can I just reflash from cwm without flashing back to stock and master clearing?
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
I have flashed 3 times back to back with just wiping dalvik cache and everything worked great.
[Captivate Android Development] crolling:
I am currently running Phoenix 3.5, if I flash FF and restore the system data will I run into problems? Or, should I only restore apps+data?

Once we load 1.5 what are the best settings to use in the speedmod kernel? I have seen mention of battery tweaks and some other stuff too. Should we do the EXT4? Just want to get the most out of FF possible..

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
No worries, We can all wait.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am glad you can wait. I want you guys to have it now. I worked freaken hard on this one. I am so tired.
[Captivate Android Development] scottmac019:
Damn Adam, you are a frickin MANIAC!!! That's why we love you though....can't wait to try out 1.5.....Flashing with Odin now so I can be ready to FLY!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] spaz2k7:
We all do appreciate all the hard work you put into both Phoenix and FF. Unfortunately I do not have the means to donate that's why i decided that I would help out by mirroring both Phoenix and FF.

THANK YOU
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Are you running EXT4? Any speedmod tweaks?
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
No tweaks, just EXT4.

Edit: I did do the Misc Battery Tweak
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Dont even worry about donating. I am not here for the money, that is just an added bonus at times. Just letting me know how my ROM is enough thanks for me.

Nice adam!

I will be running 3.5 for a few days because it is utmost perfect, then I will flash whatever version of this that is out :)
[Captivate Android Development] inningsdefeat500:
I am still on 2.2, can I flash the 2.3 to 2.4?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Do u wipe the dalvik cache from cwm?
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Why would you reflash? If it is only because of flashing at 85% battery, don't reflash. Clear battery stat and within a day or two you'd be at full battery life.

[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
There are two things that can go wrong with swapping files in the zip.

1. If you use winzip it may compress things that it shouldn't. Make sure to use 7-zip our win-rar.

2. You need to resign the file for it to work

Sent from my captivate running the latest firefly
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
I flash with as low as 20% battery and it never affected my battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
It is recommended if you flash over another ROM that you disable lagfix. Coming from a voodoo enabled kernel/rom you would have to insert a folder named "disable_lagfix" in the voodoo folder. Coming from a rom with the same lagfix (ex: flashing over 2.3 with the full version of 2.4) then flashing over with just a dalvik/cache partition wipe is what I have been doing without any issues.
[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
Hey Tsachi, if you read the last couple of sentences, I got it to work! I did resign the file with an autosigner (had to install 2 java development first). And I did use winzip and so far it is working flawlessly. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] neonlazer:
Yes, sometimes i delete battery stats/wipe data..but doesn't seem to make a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] happycappy:
I think I like it. No complaints here.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Battery

Firefly 2.4 with Suckerpunch Voodoo and JK4 have given me the best battery life I've ever had. EVER.

38+ hours of light to lightly moderate use. Mainly phone calls, quite a bit of texting, some data (XDA, news, google), some wifi (gmail), an hour of music, one episode of Regular Show, shooting some 720p video of my kids (4 different 2 min video clips) and showing off the kids to some family members via pictures in the gallery.

I also use Tasker to manage auto sync toggling.

Again, I'd say my use leaned more towards light use, but still, I think that's crazy battery life. Unlike I've ever seen before.

Thanks again Xtreme for the attention to detail in this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Ima be trying some of that!
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Bear in mind that it was light use (i.e. - not a lot of data/wifi use on this charge). But still amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I understand that...but I have not fiddled with stock FF at all. Worth a try...plus I wanna be like you. :D
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Is this with UVing
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
If that is light usage, then mine is super light.

Ever since I reflashed FireFly 2.4, I can't get more than 16 hours with automatic brightness, no music or radio, maybe 10 minutes of data, 20 minutes of gaming, 40 or so text messages, and total of 5 minute phone calls. Well, I never got good battery life for some reason. The most I can get is like 24 hours by using manual brightness and turning off 3G/HSPA.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Does anybody know how to get vibration and a ringtone for calls and texts? I can get it to vibrate in silent mode but not with a ringtone at the same time
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
Wouldn't it just be Settings>Sound>General tab>Vibrate...change to always..then just pick your ringtone? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Ok so I had all of those on and call vibration works but with the same settings I only get noise on a text no vibrate
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Hit the menu key in the mms app and go to settings/notification settings, there you will find what you seek. If you use Third party sms app then go to its settings etc,etc...
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
i think he wants to also have his cell vibrate along with the ringtone...i just looked with the info you provided and can't see where that option would be..just Notifications and Select Ringtone..
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Man I am tired lol I am using another mms.apk and that does have the option. I checked my wifes phone that does have stock ff mms and vibrate works along with ringtone so I am at a loss
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Still haven't got it to work
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
And you are sure you have it set to always vibrate? Just making sure :p like I said I just tested it on my wifes cappy and all works fine hmmm
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Ya I've had it like that the entire time. That's why I don't get it. And for some reason calls are fine
[Captivate Android Development] defnow:
lol. im tired too. ive used chompsms and im pretty sure it had that option to add vibrate and ringtone to it..
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I'm using the stock mms from serendipity as I like the layout of the conversations. That does have the notification settings I was talking about a few posts back

[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Any suggestions on how to fix the video record? whenever I swtich from camera to video it says video failed. I kinda do need this.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
And how in the world did I do a screencapture? Idk what I pressed but it said screen captured and I checked in the gallery. sire enough it was there
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Mine works just fine in every version of FF. Sounds like some didn'y flash correctly. First thing go into recovery and under clockwork mod do a fix permissions. If after reboot still does it then check for third-party apps that might be causing it. If not a re-flash is probably in your future.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Get Shootme from the market, works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I said it a little earlier but try speedmod A or B... I personally have reverted to A as it had great battery life for me. I have followed the speedmod thread from its inception and some report that versions r/s/t have had the best batt life ever for them.... worth a try. Or you could give suckerpunch a try.

ifederov: was your success with suckerpunch just stock or were you UV'ing the battery as well?
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
No like it happened without any third party apps installed I was amazed
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Damn, what the hell is going on with mine? Guess I'll have to do a full wipe and reflash. Thanks for checking yours.

Yea I've been following that thread as well and used every Speedmod kernel since like 12M. Personally, they all gave more or less the same battery life for me. Gotta charge every day, two days if I'm lucky.

I restored user apps via Titanium Backup and I tried to update them in the Market just now. However the Market says I didn't download any apps, and thus I can't update them through the Market. I can update via Appbrain though. Whaaa? It worked before via Market.

Edit: Sync'd Appbrain with my phone and now I can update via Market. However some of the updates on Appbrain aren't showing up on Market. Is this normal?

Which SuckerPunch you using, Voodoo #5 or #54 based on Speedmod C? I know UV settings will be different for each device but if your uv'ing what are your settings? I'm trying #5 as we speak.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I just updated to 2.4 and then took the animations from the absolution theme and put it in the new dark fire, that caused a boot loop so I pull the battery and just flash the 2.4 rom all is good, but odin will not recognize my phone when its in download mode. It will show up when the phone is up and running but not when its in download mode. Anyone know how to cure this?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I know your phone isn't bricked, but these instructions might be able to get Odin to see your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
this Rom kicks ass, i love it, just one issue i have with it, is the SWYPE, i notice since i updated it is FAR LESS accurate than the stock Swype, is anyone else facing this issue? and in general is there any guide to go back to Original Swype?

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
no dice :( anyone else got any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
did you try and restore just the swype data with tibu? i always do that so i dont have to reteach it all the swear words again. also try settings>locale and text>swype settings, you cant adjust for speed vs. accuracy and how often the words choice window pops up.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Yep this rom is amazing. Battery life is pure bliss with a JK4 modem. GPS? 11 sat lock in less than 4 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Have the toggle switches been updated for use with 2.4? Or did the file even need to be updated?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Those can be used with 2.4, no update needed.

My bad for the unannounced hiatus, I'm back now.

Are there any pressing matters that need fixing? I will be combing back through the thread, but it would be easier if you could point them out for me.
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
I think its time to start the whole thread over lol with requests haha
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I know it's stupid, but have you tried to reinstall the drivers found in DG's original Odin thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I could use an oil change, my pc needs the hardware upgrade I havn't had the time to get around to and the cat's litter box could use a scooping :)

[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Is there any way to make the green in the android color battery the right shade green? :)
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
And maybe also remove the blue perhaps? Perhaps...
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I thought that was one of the main reasons people wanted that colored android dude. Otherwise you could just use the original android dude, right?
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Great, thanks. I ended up reformatting and reflashing stock, then FF2.4 to solve my camera issue. Thankfully, that did the trick. I tried leaving the toggle buttons, but still prefer the look of the switches.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
What's wrong with shade of green? Personally I think we need to be a bit less picky. Variety is good and makes the rom unique, take that away and it looks like any other green theme IMO.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Thats great! I dont know what may have caused that issue for you, but lets be glad its past.

As for the toggle switches: that is why I love giving you guys options. I like to think as every Captivate running FireFly is an unique mixture of my available mods.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
Just wondering, aren't we not supposed to mix i9000 modems with Captivate kernels? Because the kernel used in FireFly is a Captivate one (Speedmod for Captivate) and the modem is i9000 (JK4).
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Agreed, this kicks butt the way it is. Imo the only thing missing is a variety of themes.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Did the color circle batt mod get fixed so it is not cut off at the bottom?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Thats true and I guess I will be working on that now. I will see what themes are compatible and then make them available.

However, I cannot promise full functionality (like 5 lockscreens, hide am/pm etc.) with some of the themes. I am not gonna edit every single one for that.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Which one? the last one on the list?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Yes. GB Color Circle Battery.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
That is strange, I don't understand why its doing that. All the icon sizes are the same.

Its not that bad of a cut off though, so I guess we are gonna have to live with it for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
No prob. I like the large number mod as well. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Notice I said perhaps. Perhaps... The green doesn't match the wifi or data shade or the green from the whole theme. It is cool though,i was just throwing it out there! I'm not picky I can't imagine the work put into all of this so thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I was wondering about this as well.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Its ok to mix and match. Results vary and depend on many different conditions such as your geographic location.
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
I'm flattered Nun - but I was trying my best to be like you ...
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
Yes - I have my clock limited to 800 MHz via voltage control app
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
The kernel is a reoriented I9000 kernel, meaning that it has been adapted for the captivate but is still essentially a I9000 Kernel. The modem/kernel pairing you are asking about is related to call quality, BT and the overall "experience" that you get out of the modem. Many people complain of poor sounding calls, bluetooth problems and even bootloops when they mix modems/kernels. FF is a 2.2 rogers captivate release with an I9000 kernel (if it wasn't reoriented it would break stuff on your phone like auto-rotate) this is why it had a I9000 modem and why people are using I9000 modems.

take a look at the two modem threads in the forums and have a read.

I was completely surprised by my battery life. My use was in spurts. Prior to flashing 2.4 and Suckerpunch Voodoo, I was on 2.3 with Speedmod k13c. I wasn't getting as good battery life on k13c as I did back on k12o. 16 hrs if I was lucky. So I thought I'd try out Suckerpunch after XBarbarians recommendation. I flashed it, drained battery, then had a full recharge. Maybe my phone really likes my current configuration - or, more likely, the stars finally aligned properly.

I'm sure once I go back to work, my battery life will diminish. There are a number of radar towers around. Plays havoc with mobiles.
