Before converting the file system, the process automatically takes a backup, and then restores this after conversion. It does NOT delete this backup at the end of the process. U can see the backup under "clockworkmod" folder on internal sd.

Do NOT delete anything on ur phone. All I was telling was about the contents of the theme zip file.

Can't backup

I just barely flashed this and tried to make a backup with rom manager but it failed. Is it that damn 3e verification sig???
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
If you're already on firefly 3e doesn't exist, that is stock 2.2 recovery. Rom manager is just useless. The backup that rom manager is supposed to do is a nandroid which is done in cwm recovery under "backup and restore"

Whats so bad about rom manager? ive always used it
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
rom manager uses the update.zip method to do CWM recovery, with almost EVERY custom kernel now CWM is built in. Rom manager and the update.zip it downloaded are useless when not on stock kernel.

Strange question

I have a cappy i use from work. I love firefly but the corporate has enabled that att web block. I know from flashing cognition it wipes that out. Is there a configuration setting that can be done to bypass the att filter like Cog?

[Captivate Android Development] msqrd:
Great rom, thanks!

I installed FireFly 3.0 last night, am upgrading from Rogers 2.2. First off I have to thank everyone on the IRC channel for all their help, especially HaiKaiDo, great community and I really appreciate it.

FireFly is absolutely kickass. I've been loving the new feel to the phone, and it's very snappy and battery life seems improved over the stock rom. When I came to restore my apps from a Titanum backup I was amazed at the amount of Rogers bloatware crud that I didn't choose to restore. No wonder the phone runs faster with a custom rom!

Hurrah for FireFly and I look forward to a GingerBread based rom from you all in the future!

[Captivate Android Development] Rizz67:
Are you using Suckerpunch or the Onix Kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I don't understand how you guys get this great battery life? I turn off my data and after 6 hours it goes down much more than 10%.....

i have cycled my battery as much as I can since updating to 3.0 last Friday.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
What else is running in the background? Turning data off means it won't check the network for email or other services. But that doesn't mean you don't have apps running that aren't using battery.

I have a task manager installed just to check for that. Sometimes the gallery loads or other apps load that I don't need.

Hi, i Just installed this ROM and found it very beautifull and fast. Only 1 thing i want to change: The BG on notification menu. How to do it?

I also have the problems with wifi waking up with errors some times. If i install Speedmod E kernel will solve this? read this on previous pages, anyone has tested this? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
You can install a theme and it will change most of the color scheme. If you like blue or red I would recommend Dark Fire or Dark Fire Blue.

[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I had the same experience as you. But, for some reason, after doing a clean ROM install, I was finally able to reap the benefits of the awesome battery life/performance. And I leave my Background Data on + Auto Sync on as well.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
2G uses a lot less battery than 3G so switch over to 2G if you're not gonna use the data plan for a long time because you're at home or something. The next big thing would be the screen brightness settings. If I use auto brightness, I'll be lucky to get by with around 8 hours of moderate to heavy usage (2 hour drama, bit of web browsing, apps, music, etc.) Turning it to manual brightness helps a bit, but just remember to lower the screen brightness after you make a call, as sometimes your face would accidentally swipe the notification bar at the top, thus raising the screen brightness. Proximity sensor doesn't work as well as its advertised.

Hey I've been reading this "swipe the notification bar" to change brightness thing but doesn't seem to work on my Cappy FF...anyone care to explain how you get this to work?
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Swype from left left to the right to go brighter and the opposite for dimmer. I believe you have to have the "auto brightness" turned off

in menu/settings/display. I find that you kind of have to long press the notification bar to get it started since I upgraded to 3.0, maybe thats just me though. Hope this helps. :)

I've been on this rom a few days and my calendar keeps force closing..any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I'm not sure but try clearing your cache/dalvik in cwm recovery (It can't hurt even if it doesn't fix it tho :rolleyes:)
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I recently turned off the auto brightness and have it about 25% brightness. I have it on H rather than just 3G or even 2G. I didn't realize everyone with great battery life was using 2G. I just uninstalled Super Power (xda app) which use to switch between 3G and 2G when the screen turned on but there was a 30 second delay without data when i turned my screen on. What do you do to switch from 2G to 3G? secret codes?

Flashocolic

So as the title says.. I'm getting some anxious flashocolic problem lol

Duno if it's only me but I keep getting this feeling of "I gotta flash something... GEMME SOMETHING TO FLASH" :eek: lol

So I tried flashing all the themes out there that work on FF = went back to stock theme :rolleyes:

I tried flashing a different ROM.. Took 10min and 3 ROMs (I tried up to 17 different rom so far lol) and I was back on FF :rolleyes:

I tried different ADW Ex theme.. man the free one just suck = back to stock theme :rolleyes:

So really X, I gotta blame this all on you.. You made a ROM that is so

perfect

that it (almost) cured my flashocolic problem and now I'm stock waiting on this upcoming 2.3 Team Phoenix's BEAST!

All this to say a BIG Thanks! and I hope that you guyz can drop that beast in a near future :D
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
had a little issue just now.

not sure if it is FF or because of the fact that i just flashed KC1 modem yesterday.

the phone went into download mode by itself, so i rebooted via volume up/power, and went it came on, it was in airplane mode.

EDIT:

looks like a profile app, 'phone weaver' was causing it.

the phone was going into airplane mode after every reboot, even with different modems flashed.

as soon i uninstalled phone weaver, it's working fine.

very strange though, as airplane mode wasn't chosen in the profile, and i've used this app for the past couple of months with no issues, before my complete flash of 3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
That could be your modem indeed. Although, going in download mode on its own is kinda weird.

As for airplane mode, 3.0 has a fix that makes the phone start in airplane mode to then switch it back off. Maybe the app got a error along the way?

I suggest you try another modem and see if it happens again :)
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
There is a 2G/3G switch under the network settings in Settings. I use that. For most of my work, 2G is more than enough. Switching to 3G is done when I realize I need data and I'm going to be on a long call (e.g., a conference), or when I know I am downloading large mails or things like that. I would not recommend using 3G/2G switch for screen on/off, since that itself would consume more power searching for data signals. Rather u cud put it on for times like when u go to bed.
[Captivate Android Development] hipha:
Thank you soo much. Funny that I never knew about that feature. All this tine I had to stick to the presets on the Power Widget.

Does anybody know how to thank using xda app or if you can?
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
At that point (going to bed that is), I'd just turn off the data = save even more battery. Turn it on in the morning if needed and it will do the update you wouldn't have get either way as you were sleeping ;)
[Captivate Android Development] hipha:
I am on FF 3.0 and I don't have the 2g/3g switch in wireless and network. Is GSM/WCDMA the same thing?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Or ... Just charge the damn thing while you're charging your own battery.

[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Hi all,

I've had my captivate since release date. Mostly I've been running different ROMs from DG, cog 2.2, Perception 10.1, then recently cog 4.3.1. I really liked Perception 10.1. The bluetooth worked great, GPS was great. The only thing it did was the charge death every now and then. But I was bored so I went with cog 4.3.1. Man I hated that rom, nothing worked on it. It had sleep death, gps was worthless, and bluetooth didnt even work at all, and it had no voice dialing. So I installed Firefly 3.0 last night. And I gotta say I love the look of it. It seems snappy, and so far GPS seems pretty good. I got a 10m lock sitting on my couch in under 10 secs, impressive for a first lock. Bluetooth seems to be iffy. Has a hard time connecting to my headset (which it worked flawlessly with Perception and with my PS3) and when it does its fuzzy sounding. Also, the download and upload speeds are ridiculously slow.

When I was on Perception 10.1 I would regularly get 1.5Mb down and 1.2 Mb up. So far with Firefly its about 300kb down and 200kb up. Why such a huge difference, arent they both based on I9000 modems?

Does the modem in Firefly support HSUPA?

I guess what I'd like to know is what modem is working best for people on the east coast of the USA with Firefly 3.0? I'm in S.C. and right now the modem in Firefly 3.0 sucks. I'm rarely getting over 100kb up speed. Just did a speed test and with the H symbol lit and 3 bars I got only 75kb up.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
1. My bluetooth works flawless

2. Yes, HSPA (both U and D) are supported

I get ~3000 kbps download and ~1500-2000 upload speeds

Maybe for ur area JK4 isn't suited, or u are in an area with high connectivity. When at home I easily reach over 3500 kpbs download, while at work its close to 2000.

From most users I've seen, JK4 modem is best suited on US East Coast, and JK4 is the bundled modem. Anyways, it might not be working well on ur phone. Try changing it to something else.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Wow 1st time I hear about such problem with JK4 :eek:

I'm not sure what modem to suggest you as JK4 is a base and should work for pretty much everyone. JVK might be an option, I see alot of ppl using it.

Also, FF does support HSUPA - I'm almost permanently on it lol and my speed is also very good.

And FF is based of Rogers's 2.2.

May I suggest to flash over? Perhaps, it's just a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
I'm not on the east coast, but JK4 has always given my cappy problems (static on the other end of voice calls, spotty reception). UGJL2 works very well for me. Might want to give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:

GPS never works

hello guys i am here desperately seeking for HELP!

i have flashed so many ROMs almost every ROM there is coz i like to test them and try them out, i cant stick to one when everyday theres is something new to flash.. anyways with every ROM that i had flashed on my phone my GPS has never worked at first i didnt mind much because i wasnt using it often but now that i moved to NC i have to use it almost everyday. it takes forever to get a lock and when i think its finally working it gives me a GPS signal lost and again takes ages to get lock again. im tired of getting lost and being late :confused::(:o

can some one suggest me something?? i really dont know what to do..

i am currently running FF3

i dont know about tweaks and that stuff so dont mess with it.

HELP? ...

thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I suggest you try Adam's GPS Fix - I believe it's in the Theme and Apps section. It works great for me :)

All you have to do is to get the file in the root of your sd and flash it through cwm.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Well, I went through my ATT Wap settings and noticed that proxy was enabled on port 80. So I set proxy to not set and port to not set, and then put in the WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM as the username and the speed got better. Its up to about 900kbps down and 700kbps up. So thats much better than where it was at.

I'm still new/confused about all the roms and interswapping of modems etc. So Firefly is based on Rogers 2.2 rom. Isnt that a Captivate Rom? FF uses the speedmod k13 kernel, am I right in assuming this is an I9000 based kernel, and why FF uses an I9000 based modem in JK4? If I wanted to experiment with different modems, I should get I9000 based modems? I want to make sure I have one that uses both 850 and 1900 bands for WCDMA. Where I live (S.C.) I'm 99% sure its 1900 band only, but I do travel some and while traveling I'd like to be using the 850 band if its available since it gets better reception.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:

[Captivate Android Development] clocke:
Try the Plumebob GPS fix that is floating around in the dev forum, I had a day 1 captivate and the gps sucked. After messing with the settings that are posted around, it was ok. I followed the directions and flashed plumebob 1.0 on ff 2.8, and it worked amazingly well next to my car window. Since then have lost my original phone and gotten a replacement refurb captivate, and I get locks within 10 secs with an accuracy of 10 meters, and tracking is damn good without changing anything but lbs settings. If plumebob doesn't help, try the warranty department and get a replacement. Seems there is somewhat of a hardware difference
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I believe you won't have any problem getting to 850 with FF. I haven't used it myself but I've seen people in this thread saying it works like a charm :)

As for FF, there isn't much difference. It's based on I896 Samsung/Rogers's instead of I897 Samsung/AT&T's (which honestly are the same phone but one in canada and the other one in the US).

X (and most of the Devs here) use speedmod kernel and jk4 modem as they're the most stable on our phone (at 99% of the time) and as you can imagine, they want their ROM to be as stable as possible while still being as smooth as butter.

Now, you can (maybe) get a better modem for where you live but jk4 is a great base. Also, it's hard to determine which modem would work best so you gotta try them out after reading on the popular one (I believe there's a thread).
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
If Plumebob GPS fix does'nt work try the "GPS Aids". It can download XTRA and LTO data to help the gps get a faster and better lock.

You can also look for the best gps config in LbsTestMode and play around with them to fit your needs. Clear your gps data and download the extra data with GPS Aids and test it again.

I'm having an issue with Firefly 3.0 and Google Calendar Sync.

(FF3.0, Onix 2.05 w/o OC/UV, Stock FF theme*, JK4 modem. * - custom boot animation)

I've searched already, but I don't see anyone else having this issue (if someone's got a link, I'll take a look).

When I go to "Setting-Accounts and Sync-Manage accounts (click on my account)" and touch "Sync Calendar", it appears to start the sync (spinning arrows icon), but then indicates that is has to FC the process "com.google.process.gapps".

I thought it might have been because I OC/UV'd m phone, but I put the settings back to normal and it's still doing it.

Is this a quick fix I'm missing, or is something more involved happening? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

(By the way, the "phone in a cup to increase signal" trick completely works.)
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Have you tried rebooting? Or have you frozen/uninstalled the calendar apps in TiBu? I froze mine and got a similar error, but I don't use Gmail's calendar so it didn't bother me I just unchecked that sync option.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Thanks for the reply.

I did try rebooting, but it unfortunately didn't change anything. I haven't touched it in TiBu either - the only google process I've touched there is the SNS application, as I don't use any social networking services. I don't know if that would affect this or not, though.
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
Try "untouching" it and see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
No dice. They're on, and it's still FC'ing.
