X you continue to amaze us week after week!

I believe we could all run out of words to describe how great each new ROM is.:D

Thanks for all you do.

i was using an app and pressed the home button. it took multiple presses to get to the home screen and when i got on the homescreen all my apps and widgets on the screen and dock were erased for some reason. has anyone else encountered this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
You're absolutely right. Here's a screenshot I found on google.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Just a question to see if anyone knows from experience. How is the speedmod kernel from the past update fairing with the new rom? The reason I ask is that I just did a full clear and flash of the 2.8 rom and would rather not go through the whole process again.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I am going to download the ROM and poke around...see if it can be done with my limited knowledge.

Edit: which rom is this exactly from?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I took a backup of the kernel in 2.8, just in case :-D
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I have attached the old gallery for anyone who may want to switch back to it. Put in System/Apps. If you are having zero issues with the Gallery on 2.9 then leave it be. Some may have issues with one Gallery or the other so here is the alternative (the one used in FF 2.8 and previous).
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Odd, Gallery not causing me any issues whatsoever :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
MIUI...I've seen it on my friends captivate. Not 100% sure if its on by default or if its an add-on. But I do know that it looks hella sexy in person!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
Then stick with the current Gallery :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:

Xtreme,please don't get mad but I don't have time to read the thread because im currently hookin my bro in laws hd2 up with a nice rom,gavin alot of issues so please throw me a bone and not get mad for me not reason through the thread,but are there any tweaks that need to be done to 2.9? I've only noticed battery drain but only a large amount at one time then it stopped. For instance it went from 30% to 7% within 30 minutes but the 7% lasted almost 2 hours?

[Captivate Android Development] blue265:
This ROM is very smooth and everything is working perfectly for me. Really love the theming and smoothness as well as functionality of this phone. The only problem with Firelfy is that it is SOOO good that I don't want to ever flash over it. As a result, I bought a second captivate just so I can continue flashing without screwing up my firefly and having to revert back or miss calls. I know...I have a sickness. But aside from that, I have been a long time lurker and finally wanted to say what a great Rom you've got here.

Also, thanks so much for including the time-fix mms.apk. Its always been a problem for us on Rogers and this saves us from having to find an apk that has the fix.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
is there a way to get rid of the green and go back to the stock icons on the notification bar with FF? I like the stock Icons more but I love how smooth this rom is.
[Captivate Android Development] xThe Enforcer:
Updated and have no problems so far.

[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
I have always been a cognition fan but design gears is jumping ship so im giving firefly a try i just installed 2.9 and so far am loving it! but is there no voodoo lag fix and if not do i need to install some sort of lag fix or does this run great without one, it seems silky smooth but quadrants are super low, i know this is a noob question SORRY!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I am never mad.

Your battery calibration is out of whack, recalibrate it and you will be good to go.

That is tricky (for me at least), I'll check out how the advanced power menu is setup and if there is anything we can do.
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
Thank you for understanding. Ill now recalibrate ny battery. Damn,how bout my bro in law got so excited to flash a rom on his hd2 l,and then after I flashed cynogen 7 for him he was like,can't I just flash the one you have? Hahaha,awsome **** here dude

[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
nah dude, **** is rough out here.

Finally, got one interview coming up, lets hope it goes well.
[Captivate Android Development] LucasBrazil1984:
I am not that experienced myself, but afaik lagfix is a kernel thing. Both onix and speedmod kernels offer it.

In regards to the quadrant score, it's not really representative of real world use. That said I've been getting around 1400 with onix 2.0.5, which is ok, right? More importantly, the rom is really, really smooth.

Sent from my Cappy using kickass FireFly 2.9, oc/uv Onix 2.0.5 and xda premium app.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Fair enough. Not really much of an issue.

LOVE the boot animation!
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
I was really looking forward to the clock/no clock toggle, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone point it out? I swear I spent an hour looking through the settings!

BTW... awesome ROM xtremekilla! Came over from Cognition... not sure that I will go back now! Added Onix with some overclocking and enabled fugu tweaks... very smooth!

By default the options are selected. Deselect and select them again to enable them.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Oh yes... I did a clean flash of 2.9 instead of update. I actually feel 2.9 is more smoother compared to 2.8.

Did you convert the file system to ext4 in the recovery menu?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
doh... that reminded me i forgot to do that after i wiped a couple weeks ago. you earned yourself a thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] Verfassergeist:
Well, I'm echoing some gentleman's sentiments for 'jumping ship' off of Cognition. It's time for a change in my case, and I want to get the most out my Captivate and that evil (but necessary) USB jig I had to buy. But the one question I'm asking right now, is there a MD5 checksum value just chilling around? My internet connection isn't as sound as I would like, and if I do get a download of this rom (oh, look, my rom archive is a 64.8 mb archive, lol) I want to make sure I have the rom I'm looking for.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Uh oh....when did this start? The Great Designgears...who da thunk?
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
I was unaware that we have to do that. This is only my second rom that I flashed. I did a full wipe out and install of 2.9. Do I have to still convert to ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Yes please. By default looks like hardcore's kernels (the kernel bundled with the ROM) does not convert the file system to ext4. U would need to do it manually via CWM after flashing and first bootup. And remember, u got to convert both data and system partitions.

***********BUG REPORT************

firefly mods and fixes 1.5

Extras > Firefly boot logo #2

long press loads blank black picture. (on phone)

#1 works fine.. still image. right?

Bug #2

call recording locks up when press stop or end call, couldnt hang up/call wont end.. "Process com.android.phone is not responding"

firefly with darkfire blue 3.0.1. Does firefly come with call recording stock? or did darkfire add that?
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
long pressing boot logo #2 works okay here.

haven't tried the call recording yet.

ok so dolphin browser doesnt play gif images... just does first frame still.

my bad. damn i like this browser.. themed blue to match blue fire.
[Captivate Android Development] LongDono:
Actually, you will use much more battery because you have two radios using up power instead of just the one (your cell data connection). Using Wi-Fi saves from using network data, but at the cost of a faster depleting battery.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
actually when wifi is connected the phone disables the data connection so it doesnt have 2 radios going.... same as using your advanced power menu to disable data but you still get sms and phone... wifi connected automatically does that even though it doesnt say so (but the 3g icon disappears). and yes 3g data uses more battery than wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] LongDono:
The Customizable Notification Power widget is a major feature of Cyanogenmod 7; I would be quite surprised if it is something that can be easily implemented. It runs in the background all the time and has a lot of menu entries in Settings to support it.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
Okay so basically just reflash firefly and on first boot after installing the rom, change the files then? I was usually just rebooting the system and going right into the roms first startup.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
you can enable/disable lagfix anytime, no need to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
I really feel like a newbie now. Ext4 conversion is basically the lag fix? I did a quick search and didn't find a guide on how to do it yet. Anyone have a helpful link?
[Captivate Android Development] LongDono:
I did some Googling. I made my assumption based on Cyanogenmod 7 on the Captivate being very hard on the battery and being told that it would be as such. I will admit I was wrong about the two radios running at once. It depends on the particular situation and it's not as simple as one would think and I suspect I'm heading into the Off Topic Zone... :)

And might as well throw in a pretty graphic while I'm at it. :D

I think it's safe to say "it depends" and leave it at that. I withdraw my "DUH WIFI kills your battery OMG" comment. :)

...Donovan
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
too much of a cliche to say touche?
[Captivate Android Development] d3v14n7:
The major factor is your 3G signal...

If you have a weak 3G signal and sometimes drop connection, it will use much more battery than WiFi, but if you have a strong connection with 4+ bars at all times, WiFi will use more battery.

So for those with weak signal, keeping WiFi on would be a good idea (until you leave the house/office), those with strong signal can just keep WiFi off all the time (unless you need it).
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
thats what he said...
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
What you can do is go into recovery. From there advanced speedmod ulfk features/lagfix options/convert system to ext4/rfs. Hit yes on the next screen and reboot. That is for system lagfix. Under lagfix options is the lag fix for data as well just select enable lagfix: convert data to ext4. When applying lagfix to data, upon rebooting it will say a new configuration has been detected, convert? Click yes. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Just wanted to say my battery life on this ROM has been the best out of any that I have flashed since Dec 2010 (16 total ROM flashes). Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Lagfix and call recording

For some reason, multi-quote is giving me issues.... so whatever screw it.

@ ppl coming from cognition:

yes you have to enable rfs -> ext4 lagfix as described earlier. What others have failed to mention is go into recovery, advanced ULF options > TWEAKS> enable all tweaks with (R) next to them, this will further speed up the phone. Back out and beboot

What I would try first is flashing the call recording package linked in the second page of the OP. That should revert to a working call recording and at least stop any FC issues for you. If that does not stop it, then I would flash stock FF theme and remove the phone.apk and associated files from the darkfire-blue theme (phoneutils.apk is prolly in there too and the associated call recording .lib files) and flash that way to see if it doesn't get fixed...still getting FC issues, then it'll go down to the different framework files and you will have to you will have to pull the files from the drawable-hdpi (that are themed) and drop them into (a copy) of your framework-res.apk.

or

Delete the framework files from the theme and the phone related apk's and you'll get the bare bones theme, themed dock and apps but that is about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I had forgotten about the tweaks >_<. I'm using onix and there are more tweaks to be enabled than in speedmod including optional.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
Sounds doable for me, do you loose any data from this?
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
that's what I was thinking.

EDIT: after seeing the graphics posted a couple posts back, that really changes my perception of data use and battery drain. When I am home, I am either in the living room or in the basement. In the living room, I have 4 bars, so using 3G would be better than Wifi in that case. In the basement, I have a maximum of 1 bar, so using WiFi would be better than 3G.

This is making more sense to me now I think.

Thanks for all the help gentleman! I gave "thanks" to all that were involved.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
A little tease

This is something I am in the middle of porting over from the Vibrant forums...

Coming soon: (hopefully)
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
No data loss, It is possible to lose root while converting, if that happens just boot back into recovery and under speedmod ulk there is an option to install root, just pick the simple option at the top.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
What do you use to switch off wireless? Do you use a program to automatically do that or do you turn it on and off manually?

I use SuperPower but don't know if that is helping or hurting my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] phoneturf:
Enabling or disabling lagfix on data is straightforward. However, how do you tell if /system is ext4 or rfs? The option is "convert system to ext4/rfs" so it appears to be a toggle, but it does not provide the current state of /system like it does /data.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
After you select this and reboot it will then give you the option to convert to ext4, convert to rfs, or do nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Well I don't know how to check it maybe someone with more experience here can give you an answer? What I do know is you can check the lagfix.log that is in your internal sd card after you enable lagfix. There it shows everything it did and if it is ext4 or rfs.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Xtreme, another awesome update as usual! Good luck on that interview, hope it goes well for you. As i said before I'm in the same boat, two years now and nothing.

One suggestion I think would really tie this rom together and make it uber classy, make the notification bar icons match your new settings icons! Those are super nice and really show class!
[Captivate Android Development] Atomic_R53:
I'm having a problem loading Firefly. I can't get into recovery mode on my I896 with froyo. CWM doesn't let me get into recovery mode. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I am going to assume you are new and that you read up on how to root and flash a custom ROM from the stickied post in the forums.

CWM is recovery mode first off

Are you on stock Rogers ROM? what you will have to do in that case to get into recovery is hold the vol up + vol down at the same time, then press the power button and hold all three till you see the I896 screen and let go of only the power button...again only the power button and it will go to recovery. Then choose zip from sc card find FF and flash it.

All Angry Birds apps now force close

I flashed Firefly 2.9 after flashing to stock from MIUI (got tired of some of the quirks). After that I restored my apps with Tibu (app data, NOT system data restored). Then I decided to enable the lagfix in CWM but forgot to convert system to EXT4.

It was late last night that I noticed all of my Angry Birds apps (original, seasons, and rio) now force close.

This morning I did a complete flash to stock again (with newest, safe flash to stock) and used the old design gears to master clear. Reflashed Firefly 2.9 and restored my apps with Tibu - - kept the phone on RFS.

The Angry Birds apps still force close. I don't truly care about losing the progress on these apps but my wife and some nieces & nephews play them on my phone from time to time.

Firefly 2.9 is awesome and I don't want to switch. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my Angry Birds app problems?

For guys having issues with root: U may have super user installed, but it doesn't mean u r rooted. Go into CWM and select "root/..." from there and root ur phone through CWM.

you may also want to read up on Odin and making a jig before you flash too.... search function is a great thing

Read twice, flash once. Don't make the mistake I did and brick on your first flash...this is just my 2 cents but this will help you get it of your problems.

Then after understanding what you are supposed to do... flash away :)

Yea good luck xtreme! You need more phones to play with! And more money of course.

Btw the auto rotation symbol at the notification bar is broken. I accidentally pressed it today and it went from green to not green. Pressed it again and it stayed off. Restarting the phone brought the green back. Might wanna get that checked out, along with auto rotation itself. I was able to rotate the phone to landscape mode even when I think I disabled auto rotation, by accident of course.
