i just tried it and still no go, which model and kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
What is your guys opinion on firefly making a kitchen like serendipity has?
[Captivate Android Development] betadan:
I would love a kitchen for FireFly like the one Darky used to have.
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
FF kitchen would be awesome!!! Anyway this can be implemented X?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ya, I will try to get with ChanceM over the weekend and see how I can do it.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I'm getting quite a bit of FC with different apps and phone freezing lately. Could it be that I have to reflash the 2.7 to 2.8 update, or do a full ROM reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
Try clearing dalvik cache, if that doesn't work try a full rom flash
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Question

Will this rom ever be updated to 2.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
wait... There was no 2.8 update, and if you are talking about thee one x posted, that was an april fools joke that kinda went awry. It was supposed to just change the wallpaper but it gave some folks problems. try flashing the stock ff theme.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
It has been adressed. There are a ton of 2.2.1 ROMs out there and FF is superior to them in all respects. Why change it? "If it aint broke, don't fix it" as some form of redneck might say.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Hey, is there anyway to get rid of the ATNT boot logo? I tried to do just that with mobiletech video's tutorial using the cappy version and it soft bricked my phone so i tried it again and it did it again. Does the adb command work for FF?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I've been using that batch for quite a while never had a single issue, how did you soft brick it twice?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Did that. Still getting random FC and phone hangs. I hate doing a reflash...

I meant 2.6 to 2.7. Woops. I never flashed the "2.8 update".

No problems here either.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
I honestly do not know. I used it with Cog before i moved to FF and it was easy and quick.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Yes! Please see if you can open a Kitchen for FireFly. A Rom this great deserves it. Good Call pwnerman. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Umm try and redownload it? I've used it on multiple roms, hell I just now used the odin .pit while I was on stock, flashed supernova with the blank image and ran the batch after it was booted up and running.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Ok i see but i know i am a noob but whats the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Hey i got it to work! I think the problem was a fluke, this time as with cog I received the "superuser request" when running the bat. I did not have that request last time so it must have bugged out.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Other than replacing it with another file, flashing one of the Rogers stock ROMs I put together will get rid of it. The links to them are in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
So, I was at firefly before, the went to serendipity and now back to firefly because I just think this rom is a lot more responsive imao. But I do have one complaint . Sometimes I have to enable wifi in settings to get it to turn on. Whats up with that? It wasnt like that in serendipity.

sent from my phone using my fingers
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
did you just flash 2.7?

it is probably because of onix 2.0.1. kernel.

update to 2.0.4 or go with speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
So X, 2.8 at midnight tonight hahaha im getting jittery.....need my fix lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Don't know if anyone has had this issue but when making phone calls it disconnects immediately and I can't place a call. Is there a way to fix this? it just started doing it this morning which is weird, so maybe it's damn att?
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
How would you update firefly to 2.8? Go to FF fixes and mods and download the update and then boot into recovery mode? I just got the rom yesterday and this will be the first update I'd be doing.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I can place phone calls just fine. It may be a network problem specific to your area.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Yes, that's the easiest way to do it. Updates are only done on Thursdays, so it won't be out until tomorrow at the soonest. Your patience will be greatly rewarded. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
They also seem to come out at approximately 3:00 PM EST.

Gives X enough time for lunch and a nap.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Make sure you are on The stock firefly theme when flashing the update, unless you really really like the boot animation. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Raul77:
Those on Rogers network , if you can Merge calls (conference calling) please share your Modem and Kernel version. I keep getting "Unable to conference calls"

running FireFly 2.7 , Onix 2.0.1 , and Baseband : T959TLJL3

thanks for any help.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
No problem with conf call.

Baseband: UGJK4

Kernel: Speedmod K13a (No OC/UV)
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Usually for call problem, I'd try a different Kernel but I see you're using JL3 modem, try another one perharps?
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
Okay, once I go into recovery mode do I just reinstall packages to complete the upgrade? And I assume that the update doesn't remove any data to where a backup would be needed.
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
no problem for me.

2.7, 2.0.4, jpg
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
It will be done in cwm, install zip from sd card, just like flashing the whole rom. It shouldn't delete anything but a backup is always a good idea when flashing ANYTHING in case things go wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
Works for me on Onix 2.0.3 and JK4 as well as KC1.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Not to get off the subject but since flashing 2.7 & Speedmod K13D i'm getting the best battery life ever. Currently 20:44:10 uptime and still have 41% left!
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
also, if you have another gsm phone around, pop in your sim and see if you can make conf calls.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Im still running the onix kernel but noticed a staggering 60% loss of battery over night yesterday with wifi and auto update on. I know those are power hungry options but its making me think there is a bug somewhere.

EDIT: The reason I say I think there is a bug is because when I make sure to keep these options off I see 20 hours + of battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancered:
I downloaded the Maps update and now my GPS sucks ass again. What the hell.
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
Mine sucked ass too. Try deleting maps data and cache under application-->manage applications. That helped for me but then again it could have been a fluke :)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Honestly if you had wifi on overnight that probably is about right.
[Captivate Android Development] kingmurry:
i've never lost over 10-12 % overnight with wifi and gps on
[Captivate Android Development] Klyentel:
Me too. Definitely a bug. I'm going back to speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Let me rephrase. If you have wifi on all night and you have the sleep policy set to "never"... I would expect you to have significant battery drain over night.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Same here. There has to be a bug in the system. Onix drains my battery like no other. The Paragon Kernal is amazing you should try that out. Its basically a tweaked speedmod.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I agree hence the reason I dumped Onix. I was also noticing some quirky stuff happening now and then. All's good now.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Think I can flash over Paragon without a wipe? Paragon is js3 based... fwiw.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Just checked the wifi sleep policy was set to never. I keep forgetting little settings like that when I flash new roms.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
at one point my phone would reset to never every time i rebooted. i often woke up to a near dead battery (I just turn it off manually when i'm not using it now, definitely saves battery doing that).
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
You should be fine. I went from firefly to paragon without a wipe. Just clear regular cache and dalvik cache before you flash firefly.

Sent from my Captivate Paragon ROM
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Yep. I'm sticking with this rom now and forever! I keep coming back to it. Now for me its perfect with Speedmod K13D. I'm going on a 9 Hour ride to Florida tonight and i'm gonna see how my battery life stands up to it. Thanks xtreme. I also noticed, since I was on Serendipity at the time, what happened with last weeks update???

PS: Is it true that the lagfixes can affect battery life opposed to using stock RFS or what?

Anyone like my new firefly SIG???? If you want to use it its here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22563933/Firefly_anim.gif
[Captivate Android Development] ippon:
sorry man, i think the sig is inducing me a seizure.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
You chose Paragon over FireFly?
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
Both great ROMs. The only two I have ever used. If it works, I tend to stick with it.

Sent from my Captivate Paragon ROM
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
sig = seizure

ext4 vs rfs just makes the phone faster, no effect on battery.

some people say tweaks affect battery. I personally havn't noticed any difference with the tweaks on or off so I would say use them... why not.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
i always have mine set to never. never had an issue with overnight drain though lose only a few %. Weird you lose that much.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Alright, I have some good news and some bad news.

Good News:

There will be an update tomorrow and it has a bunch of different things.

Lot of cool new UI updates and other functionality.

Bad News:

If you don't know by now, I work in a very goal oriented manner for each update. One of my top goals for this week's update was to get the Clock Toggle working. Unfortunately, I have failed at multiple attempts, so it really pisses me off internally, but I will not have that in the 2.8 update.

Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Haha. True. I remember he fell asleep on the job once and woke up and "lol" at himself. Good times.

Thats the bad news? Psssh....you need not let that frustrate you my friend. The fact that there will be an update tomorrow overpowers the "bad news"

I can live without the clock toggle. You know why? Because i know that you WILL eventually find a way. No worries.

I have some good news for YOU X.....once i get my bonus....guess WHO is getting some beer/ stripper money....

uh huh......uh huh.....not he....not her....

YOU!

Hope that cheered you up.

:D
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
HAHAHA!! Lol, that did.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Decisions....

Where would you hide the clock anyway...
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Ok, I am not as pissed as before about the clock toggle thing because I just loaded up the near final version of 2.8 and damn....the UI feels more polished than ever. Everything just flows together beautifully. I am sure you guys will pick apart the mistakes in a few hours, but till then I can enjoy this.

I will release 2.8 after a bit more testing.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
No mistakes	X ..... simply space to grow. ;)

No matter how refined you make it, we'll keep obsessing over our phones.....

We love every thing you do.

Stock modem

I was having a discussion with a buddy of mine last night about all things FF/ROMs/tasty goodness ... and he asked the question: "Out of curiosity, what modem came out of the box on our Cappys?" I had no answer. So I pose it to you guys, what modem was bundled with our Cappys on Eclair 2.1?

Back to the topic @ hand - can't wait to see 2.8, X !

Sent from my Pocket Super Computer
[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
Same here. Is there an app that is constantly sending data back and forth in the background maybe causing the battery drain? I don't think the wifi being on and not transferring data will drain the battery that fast. I too keep my wifi on and night and only notice a few percentage point loss when I wake up.
[Captivate Android Development] ctleng76:
Could this be an issue with Rogers and not your phone? Conferencing calls requires more than one connection with other people which means the land-based central office needs to make more than one connection to your line. I don't know how Rogers works, but this may be a feature you need to pay extra for. I would call Rogers and see what they say about your ability to do conference or 3-way calling. However, be careful about what you divulge about your phone. If they find out you are running a custom ROM you may have a warranty issue on your hands.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Well ji6 is the first rom so I assume that the first modem was ji6. When we use a modem, say kp1 , it is from a stock rom with the same id.

each new modem you see is plucked from the rom with the same alpha-numeric code.

I just got my new Captivate yesterday (after bricking my other one :rolleyes: ) and here are its info:

Firmware: 2.2

Modem: JL1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

ROM: Froyo

Then again, I'm with Rogers so it's not a AT&T phone.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
JF6 I think.

Looking forward to the update, as things are running tre smooth already. Onix kernel working great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Battery update: Finally going to charge the phone, uptime of 37:15:54 with 22% battery remaining. NEVER had a battery last anywhere near this long!
[Captivate Android Development] m1k3yG:
I upgraded to the new Onix 2.0.4 and it is working perfect with firefly 2.7
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What the heck did you do?!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
All i did was switch to SpeedMod K13D, clear all stats & caches. Two or three charging cycles later this is what I get, go figure. I'm afraid to change anything now! :D
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
+1

(not getting quite that kind of uptime, but it's pretty darn good, and all I did was pretty much what you did, so I echo your sentiment)
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
3.0?

I wonder what will constitute a FF 3.0?

At 2.8, you're getting very close to being forced to use 3 digits for updates (2.8.1, etc.).

Will the clock toggle feature be the driver? Maybe a change in default modem or kernel? Perhaps some major new graphic?

Just wondering... :)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Gingerbread...

Edit: 2.8.1 would suggest a minor revision to 2.8, so really I think it would be 2.8, 2.9, 2.10...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
would we have to wait for the rogers release of gb? To keep with the spirit ff?
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
The use of Gingerbread would be a whole new ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I always thought the spirit of ff was being a badass rom. :cool:

And on another note, my F5 key just told me it hates thursdays.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
The spirit of FireFly is that it is based on Rogers ROM.

And there's nothing wrong with it being named 3.0 while still running Froyo... I dunno where you guys thought that xtreme has to use 2.X.X in order to keep it designated as a Froyo based ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
That's just what the Canadians say ;)

I know there's nothing wrong with call it 3.0. Obviously it up to Xtreme to call it whatever he wants. But a man can hope for him to have a gingerbread rom in the near future (come on source code!)...

And I'm not really sure what you mean by that last sentence. Reading is fundamental....
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
No it's just a number jump like that means it is a major update, if it is still just a weekly update like normal when going from 2.9 to the next then I don't see a reason for the jump.

I agree with the 2.10, unless something big changes.

But opinions are like a$$holes.
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
Hows testing going X, im ready for the release!!!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Few more minutes, for some reason the calendar apk is not showing up. Once I fix that, it will be all yours.
[Captivate Android Development] Klyentel:
+1 on the speedmod k13d comments, seriously, the battery life is amazing, I like Onix kernel but it was draining. I can now leave wifi on all day, all night, and not have to run to the charger:D
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I don't get how you guys are getting such good battery life with SpeedMod... Whatever kernel I have to charge it like 15 hours later.

Of course, automatic brightness plays a huge factor in battery life. The way you use the phone does as well.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Have you tried letting your battery fully die, charge it to 100%, rince and repeat a couple times? Also, reseting your battery stats can help a bit.

Personnaly, I had awful battery life until I did the full circle thing. Now getting between 20-35hrs of battery depending on how much I use my phone. (heavy use will most likely make it up to 25hrs, that being games + music + txtin all day + few calls and browsing).

One more thing, I don't use any juice defender or program like it. Although, I do use advanced task killer and I close unnecessary running services.

Hope this help :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Of course I do. I keep on telling people to recalibrate it when they rage at their battery lasting for only like 4 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I keep hitting reload so I can update asap. :-) i'm so addicted! GREAT ROM
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Check the app ;)
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
With minimal use (3 or 4 calls, 10 or so texts, reading gmail once an hour, and occasionally checking xda app), I lose just a little more than 2%/hour.

This may not be as fantastic as some others here are reporting, but I'm satisfied with it, and I got there by clearing batt stats once about 3 or 4 weeks ago, doing 2 near-full discharges, and bumping to full (100%) each morning.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
Just making sure :)

The only thing I can think is that you have a app/widget draining more than it should? Other than that, the battery itself maybe? Then again, having your battery last 12 hrs with normal use isn't so bad as you get home, charge it over night and it's ready waiting for you in the morning.

As for last thing I could think is that your phone search/switch between network alot. I never had that happening and I have no clue how to fix it but my brother had that problem.

[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
you beat the developer to the punch.... hahaha
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Yeah I guess that's probably not cool... Sorry X. :rolleyes:

I just notice the sig pic change so I decided to check the app and there she was.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I always update the app first, to see if any of the FF users are paying attention ;)

Surprisingly, there are quite a few who get the update 5-10 minutes before I officially post it.

I love it.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I wasn't trying to call you out. I actually appreciate you telling me to check the app. I don't think he'll mind.

What would be the reason why it says this content us not supported by your phone im on 2.7 trying to dl 2.8 through website tried app as well
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Try installing astro file manager from the market. That should take care of it.
[Captivate Android Development] dsmitty166:
Haha I was super confused as well...I just got my captivate back from repair, and decided to check the website for the latest update, but it said 2.8 and it only said 2.7 here! Score!!

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] :
What is the best way to update from 2.7 to 2.8? I usually just flash the whole ROM again and restore all of my apps from Titanium Backup. The frustrating thing about that, though, is that not all of my settings (sound settings, contact settings, various other system settings) are not saved and I have to re-configure a lot of things.

What do you guys recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Just download the 2.7 to 2.8 update through the FF Mods & Fixes app, reboot into recovery and install via CWM. Easy peasy, rice and cheesy.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
download the upgrade file as this will not wipe anything. I do this usually. Once in a while I will master clear my phone and flash the whole ROM. after a few updates.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Unless you have a particular issue with the new version i say just use the update and don't wipe/install. Just clear your cache and update. I've been updating my version since 2.1 and i never had any issue that requiered a wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Ooooh, noticing all sorts of little goodies. Nice on the new icon for the music app and the custom usb storage image.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Added one more battery mod to the arsenal. (16 in total) ;)

Landscape GB Battery - DOWNLOAD

If you sent me a request earlier for a battery and it is still not in the list, then please send me the request again. I may have forgotten.
[Captivate Android Development] jamezz23:
Thanks for the update!!
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah, I want to do this but there's always that notice on the first post of this thread that says "You will have to flash the kernel on your own". This always made me nervous. What does this even mean?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
It means the update package doesn't come bundled with a kernel. Whatever kernel you already have installed will stay there. The update packages never alter the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
It means if you want to change the kernel you have to flash it yourself. If you do nothing you just stick with whatever kernel you already have. Nothing to worry about.

Edit: So close... beat by mere seconds.
