[Captivate Android Development] huchacool3:
hey guys, so I recently ventured into flashing this was the first ROM that I picked for my phone, but it seems like I've been having some problems with it. Many of my apps have severe lag and I've been getting a lot of lag with just general navigation of the phone. I checked to make sure voodoo lagfix was enabled just to be sure, and it was, and being new to this I'm not really sure what to do. I was having trouble with the dialer at one point and was told that it was caused by TiBu and that a factory reset would fix it. The factory reset did fix the dialer issue, but is it possible that it screwed something else up? Am I missing something else? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Tankmetal:
Did you start fresh by flashing stock 2.1 first?
[Captivate Android Development] huchacool3:
Yes, I followed all of the directions on the how to flash thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ziphoward:
Alright a few problems. so I was having some problems with my cognition rom(2.36b) and decided go back to stock so I could flash the new cognition. I put my phone into download mode, and it took a few times for ODIN to see my phone. After I got ODIN to see my phone I tried to master clear, it did not work. I had to pull the battery out and try again. I rebooted my phone again, and many program errors came up. I shut off my phone, tried to get into download mode and it wouldn't let me using the volume down + up then insert USB with ODIN open.

Now to get into download mode I must hold buttons with battery out, put USB in, and put battery in and I get download mode instantly, but I cant get ODIN to recognize my phone at all anymore. I tried many different methods(odin open before DL mode, odin closed before download mode, etc). I looked through a few threads and couldnt find anything that would work. Also my window 7 64 now says it doesn't recognize the USB device when I plug it in. Im getting very annoyed! Is there any way to go back to stock besides ODIN??? Any help is appreciated!!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Beat to it, nevermind.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You messed up by master clearing while in download mode, You're supposed to do that while booted into the phone's OS. Always know the instructions when flashing.

Secondly, if your usb connection; whether its windows, the cable, whatever; is flakey, never try using Odin until the issue is resolved. That is one of the quickest ways I know of, personally, to royally screw up the phone and not just the Captivate with Odin.

I haven't used odin ion a few months now for the same reason, Win7 and odin won't talk in download mode anymore, period. Works fine when not in dl mode but that pointless other than master clearing. I've yet to find a solution or info that works as they all consist of reloading the drivers which I have tried dozens of different combos and ways or wiping my system, that ain't gonna happen.

I've just been flashing with out Odin and have had no problems since, actually had more when flashing to stock first before the new rom.

So sorry, if I find info on the odin issue I'll post it and remember to use master clear with the phone fully booted into its operationg system if your going to use it. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] huchacool3:
Do you flash back to stock using clockwork? If so, how has that been working?
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
May be you should try flashing rom using bay_wolf program. Its in the development section as well and you might be able to find it in the first page. :-)

Is there a modem that gives good battery life, 850mhz, and retains bluetooth?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
The one the comes with 3.04 has much better battery then 2.8b8.
[Captivate Android Development] ziphoward:
How do you flash without ODIN? Am I pretty much screwed with ODIN since my usb drivers wont work? Should I try windows XP? What about Ubuntu drivers?

......

After Removing LauncherPro my phone is not stuck on the boot screen...
[Captivate Android Development] Shoey Peachew:
That happened to me. I didn't realize when I first tried the ROM the stock launcher was missing and since I prefer ADWLauncher I thought I would just uninstall LauncherPro. I don't remember their being a disclaimer about this on the first post, which seemed weird.

Anyway, here's the fix.

- Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer. - - Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.

- With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.

- While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.

- If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again.

JL1

The JL1 modem was best in terms of battery life that I've seen on my captivate, once I calibrated the battery and used it for a few days, bluetooth worked fine as did 850Mhz with the stock kernel.

I'm currently using firebird2 v8 with JL2 modem, which seems to sacrifice some battery somewhat and you lose bluetooth, 850Mhz works, it will come in in low signal areas but it seems as if this modem/ kernel combo seems to favor 1900 , ie I am on 1900 more often, but it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects, I get almost zero dropped calls on this modem.

and you gain HSUPA

which was worth it for me as I don't really use bluetooth often and the lower latency really makes 3G browsing much snappier.

I think if you run a i9000 rom you can maintain bluetooth with a HSUPA modem, but in my experience captivate based roms run a little smoother for me, but lot's of people run them and are happy with them, I'd suggest you try perception for that, it was the best i9000 rom I've ran

Flash a Modem

I got cognition 3.04 but I couldn't answer the phone. I am in UT and would like to flash the modem to JK4 but I don't get how to do it. Could someone give me instructions on how to do this? I have clockwork and would like to use that. Please help!
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Taz said it right, master clear while phone is booted up...did you use the one-click Odin and if so, you may have managed to tank your three button combos...perhaps looking into that further may help you gain back your three button fix that DG posted a while ago.

Try re-loading the USB drivers on xp. Use the ones posted in DG's ODIN thread.

If you want to use JK4 it is a I9000 modem and you have to use a reoriented I9000 kernel or you will have call quality issues. General rule: I9000 modems with I9000 kernels. The same foes for captivate modems/kernels.

If you want to flash the jk4 modem try using the firebird kernel, glitterballs' kernel or hardcore's speedmod kernel. I flash the kernel first at 100% battery, then clear dalvik cache and battery stats (in CWM)....reboot the phone once to make sure all went well, then back into CWM to flash the modem. Boot up and clear GPS data to get an accurate GPS test.

Flash it the same way you would a ROM. Into CWM, install from SD card, scroll down to the kernel/rom in question and pick.

If you have issues with just wanting to flash a modem and not knowing how, I would suggest reading some of the modem threads and the kernel threads before you go ahead and cause yourself headaches by screwing something up.

Read twice, flash once....saves tons of time.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
That is probably one mistake.. i installed the rom and that is .. not costume kernel or modem.. means i have to install something else after the rom ?

how do i know what kernel and modem is the best for me?
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
tun.ko

I'm looking for this also. Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
Hey guys, I'm sure the answer to this is somewhere in here but I don't have enough time to go hunting atm, so any help is much appreciated :)

I just flashed from stock Cog 3.04 w/ Firebird and UXJL1 modem. All works great but bluetooth (a problem I know has been discussed a lot but I've never encountered until now). What modems does everyone recommend that will compliment my setup and give me BT? I need to have handsfree in the car...its the law, ya know! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Sean09:
I am getting echoes on incoming calls - outbound is fine though. Any suggestions for a new radio - I assume that is the issue? Running this rom (of course).
[Captivate Android Development] calvinwong:
any way i can have my phone read chinese and type chinese as well? im getting werid symbols....
[Captivate Android Development] Psyclotr0n:
I never could get any modem to work with BT on this rom if I use any i9000 kernel (like Firebird)
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
The ROM alone is fine, you shouldn't need to install anything else. If you want to switch to I9000 kernel and modem (you must do both if you do), just choose one from the modem thread and any of the kernels on here (such as Firebird, Speedmod, SuckerPunch) and copy them to the root of your "internal SD" drive and install them in recovery.

You have to use a captivate modem (the one that comes with it is fine) to use Bluetooth. And voice calling does not work. If you want that feature, you need to switch to an all I9000 system.
[Captivate Android Development] brendel:
It should read Chinese just fine. I think that function is actually part of the Android OS. For Chinese input, I just use Google Pinyin. It seems to work fine for me. I'm sure there are probably couple of other keyboards in the Android market that can do Chinese input ad well.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Basically the easiest recommendation if you want/need BT voice is to just flash Cog 3.04 and don't mess with the modem or kernel. The stock kernel/modem combination works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I use CWM or the modified CWM with the kernels and been going fine, no semi bricks, a few boot loops once or twice but I always have a back rom on the phone.

As far as stock, I haven't bee back to stock or master cleared (once) in a least a few months. Only cache I clear when I remember to, is the dalvik cache and that's only been a few times. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
After installing Cog 3.04, .. witch Kerner is the best one to be installed?
[Captivate Android Development] LlamaLord:
Thanks i was able to fix it. Here is a quick tip on how to do it a different way.

When your phone boots up call you phone it should ring after that try to open the browser & after doing so google LauncherPro and download and install it should work fine after that
[Captivate Android Development] calvinwong:
Nope it doesn't read it at all.. What keyboard do you use and aren't i supposed to install some kind of package or language zip?
[Captivate Android Development] mtbgo7:
It will, of course, depend on each device and each user, but I would stay on the original kernel. I've tried Firebird and speedmod, and their battery drains are about five times faster than the original one.

I am using the original kernel with JJ4 modem, and it just works fine with BT.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Which one is the "original" one? :o
[Captivate Android Development] mtbgo7:
The one in the coginition ROM. I don't know what the name is, though.

Clean system and re-install

You may want to clean your PC/Laptop of all drivers and any traces of ODIN.

Samsung drivers:>right click on My Computer and select properties>Go to advanced tab>Click on environment variables>Create a new system environment variable: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices>set its value to 1>click ok>Exit out>go into device manager, through Control Panel>select view and check "show hidden devices">You should now be able to see something like "ADB Interface">Select the Android device under it, right click and choose Uninstall (if there are several with this heading, delete them all)>A popup window should allow you to check "Delete the driver software for this device">click OK

Re-install drivers. They are updated so this may help. MAKE SURE you are using the correct OS 64bit or 32bit.

Perform a search of your system (bottom left of screen>click window icon>in box at bottom type in ODIN>right click each item that comes up with ODIN in it and delete it.

Install fresh drivers and Odin3 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Remember load drivers first! Wait until completely done. connect USB cable to usb port (laptop, any will work, PC ONLY use usb on back of PC)

Now connect phone wait till you see pop up, this is connecting PC - Phone (look to see that anti virus is not blocking) Once all check marks cone up go to phone, click usb connected. You should now have a AutoPlay window that pops up. Click on Open Folder to View Files.

You can now use ODIN
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
Okay I think I found a solution to this.

I went into my Speedmod tweak settings, enabled ipv6. Booted back to win7, had an error, I then troubleshooted and got a valid IP.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
WHAAAAAAT??!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you telling me if you flash Cognition, your phone is no longer a phone?!!!

Oh, wait....you mean "speech recognition" does not work, maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
What is this 'dalvik cache' people keep recommending be cleared (or not cleared, depending on the post)? What does it hold (is used for)? Is it inside the kernel?

I searched for [dalvik], but there are thousands of hits to look through and they all are just saying clear it or not clear it--not explaining it.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I mean Bluetooth voice dialing, sorry. As in, pressing the button on your bluetooth headpiece, and saying "Call Joe Smith."

It's apparently cache for all the Java applications. Or something like that. If you go into recovery mod and then advanced, it's there. If you clear it, your phone will take a few minutes longer to boot the next time only. I usually clear it whenever I flash a new kernel.

3.05

just curious, when is 3.05 coming out
[Captivate Android Development] nbarsotti:
I have been wondering the same thing. With the release of the Rogers source code a couple weeks ago I expected to see an update to Cognition relatively soon. To the best of my knowledge I don't think anyone has done anything with the Rogers source code yet. It feels the Captivate forums and ROMs have really slowed down in the last couple weeks. I think we need some AT&T source code to spice things up. :)
[Captivate Android Development] watatek:
Dumb question....Got cog3.04 to finally install. When I slide the home screen to the left and end up on the 3rd one, when I hit the home button, 3 translucent black windows come up to show each the 3 screens. It doesn't revert to the main home screen as it did when my phone was still on cog2.1x if I remember correctly. Checked the settings for launcher pro but couldn't find anything to fix it. Not that familiar with launcher pro. Thanks for any help.
[Captivate Android Development] sircaper:
Preferences > Behavior Settings > Home Key Action > it's right now on choice two. You can change it.

[Captivate Android Development] cybercoaster:
Thanks for this info. Sometimes my phone shuts off up to 10 times in one day. Seems to be on the weekend the most. So I have a phone with bad hardware? There is no fix for this other than using Load Monitor? :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] ryan6603:
You might want to look into your phone being defective. there were alot of phones that were manf. before nov 2010 that had a shutting off problem. sounds just like mine and many others. had to bring it in and they told me it was one of them. i thought at first it was an app or something doing it, but traced it down to discussions and such.

Droid keyboards

OK I can't seem to get a question answered at this post (link below), so can somebody in the know please help. Will these keyboards work w/ this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754948) and if so how do I do this:confused:

Thank you.

i can sync contacts to my phone but i lost all notifications on facebook, also using yahoo mail application.. i uninstalled both app and installed them again... still nothing..

About the mobile application.. i have been using cog 2 and now cog 3.04 and i never made the mobile app to work... i using an unlocked captivate with a different provider (no AT&T) .. to make it to work i have to use a different Modem? .. or i can use the one that came with Cog 3.04?

i believe the modem that came with cog will only work with AT&T... correct me if i am wrong.

I would download a different modem.

[Captivate Android Development] jaredc74:
I just upgraded from 2.3b8 to 3.04 today. First things first, outstanding job. Loving the new rom, my GPS has never worked so well. Now, a couple of quick questions. I swapped out the android.policy.jar from the 3.02 version because I like the puzzle lock screen. Everything worked fine swapping these files. I am going to install 3.04 on my wifes captivate tonight and she also wants the puzzle lock screen. Can I just swap the android.policy.jar file into the 3.04.zip so that it is installed automatically? Also, she wants the live wallpapers, can I add them to the .zip before I flash? As long as I put them in the correct directory, will they be transfered over during the flash? I know that I can do it all manually after the flash, but if I can simplify it by putting the files into the .zip first, it would make things easier. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
I think DG is using the source code that was recently released to cook up a new beast but that is just my guess. I doubt we will see an update to this rom. It will most likely be a revamp...
[Captivate Android Development] dugong81:
First things first. Love this ROM. Got more batt life now than ever. Everythings works so well. Kudos to the chef.

However GPS not doing so well for me. I dunno if a fix has been made for this in this thread, but could somebody guide me to the fix please?
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
You dont have to rename them. Put the files in the same location and choose "install from zip" in the CWM menu screen. Make sure you turn off lagfix if your CWM menu isnt in red font.

Also you can use sgs kernel flasher from the market to flash kernels. I dont know if you have to turn off lagfix to use that because i prefer the CWM method.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
Do you know witch Modem ( for international users ) will match the kernel ?.

i read about if you change your modem, you have to change your kernel ..

i wanna use the Mobile AP on my captivate but using a different sim card ( non AT&T)..
[Captivate Android Development] mtbgo7:
I am using JJ4 without changing the kernel. The GPS works fine in my Cap.
[Captivate Android Development] ArkieMD:
Cognition 2.3b4 had noise suppression too...and much better battery life. Especially with speedmod!
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Hi, the new .4 version is awsome! Thanks DG! Just one question: Can update Launcher Pro to Plus version and it will stays on data folder? or even update the free version without any downgrade on performance? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I just tried them, they work fine. Use the installation instructions in the first post there. All the ones that are in .zip files are CWM flashable, so just reboot into recovery, install those zips. There were a few that were .apk, installed fine as well, you just need to navigate to wherever you save them in "My Files" app or similar and click on it and it should prompt to install. Then you'll need to go to Settings>Locale and Text activate the "Multi-Touch Keyboard." It seems only one of those on that page can be installed at a time.

It should work fine, people have modified the zips before installation with success. As long as you are replacing the right thing in the right place, it will work.
[Captivate Android Development] razorguy:
Anyone else having a problem with their notification tone changing? I keep trying but it won't change. Sorry if it's been covered but I'm on my phone and don't feel like digging.. Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Sorry in advance, guys... I'm out of my element, here. I live in the N1 threads.

Just a simple question:

I put Cog on my friend's Cap months ago, with CW, and I think she's on 2.3b??, now. I was planning on updating the phone to 3.04, but I started getting a bit geeked out about the whole "Odin" thing. I never used Odin while adding Cog or upgrading Cog before, but really don't wanna screw up her phone. Soooo.....can I just flash 3.04 over the 2.3b?? version, or do I really have to Odin back to stock, first? I'm used to just flashing stuff, but this Odin concept has me a bit confused, and since it's not my phone I haven't exactly done the same amount of research I would do on my OWN phone.

Any help is appreciated :)
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
In my case I had 2.3b8 and flashed 3.04 right over it, no problems so far. I didn't disable lag fix or anything, not sure if I should of. Either way its working great and better battery and performance.

Still wish you could swipe for brightness though.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Nice!!...anything more than a "normal" flash (from my perspective) is more work than I really wanna exert. Did you need to wipe anything besides cache & dalvik? Seems like it essentially resulted in an full-wipe scenario the last time I updated them....they were kinda pissed. I flash nightlies, and rarely have to re-do anything after a flash, but usually fail to take those details into account when screwing with other people's phones :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I didn't even wipe the cache and dalvik, i thought about doing it now but figured its working fine.

I backed everything using TI backup and then restored the app+data. I used exhange sync for contacts and calendar. I also use sms backup and restore to backup sms messages to xml file and i use sms backup+ to backup sms/mms/call logs to GMail.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Soooo.... I read that as meaning that the 3.04 flash killed all your apps/data, thereby "needing" to restore them with TB?? So I assume that you probably had to start from the android sign-in screen, too...so settings and everything else are probably reset to defaults, as well? I'm not personally worried about needing to restore stuff. I'm just trying to anticipate how involved the process will be from a time-management standpoint.
