Hi all,

I'm running on firefly 2.7 and my network location (without gps) on 3g network only does not work. Just wondering if anyone its experiencing the same issue? I cannot get a approximate location on google map just using wireless network. please help.

I should mention that I have an i896 and I'm on Rogers network in canada.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I will try again to get this answered, I have flashed one of x`s themed color dialers, if I want to go back to the updated one in 2.7 how do I do that? Re-flash the update? Or is their a zip that can allow to do this? Thanks for any replies!!
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Quadrant scores aren't really relevant. Is the phone fast? Smooth? That's all that really matters. The only purpose I see and many devs as well have mentioned is bragging rights. And just for the record I just ran quadrant on mine to see and it's around 1350 with Onix out of the box. OC'ing doesn't always produce the best results imo.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
Go into SGS Tools app > secret codes > GPS Test > delete GPS data

reboot wouldnt hurt after that either.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
For now, there is no zip yet. I want to keep the dialer exclusive to FF.

You can grab the DialerTabActivity.apk and place it in your system/app

Sorry if I am not able to answer all questions posted here. Going through some stuff right now. I am sure other members will help out with your questions/concerns.

No problems X I understand and thanks, where do I find the DialerTabActivity.apk? Google it? I know that you are pulled in 20 different directions here!!!!

modmyphone thanks doing that now!!!!!

[Captivate Android Development] acandia007:
I know it doesn't matter, but when I had firefly 2.6 and onix i had 1500. when I OC, I ended up with 1800, and yeah I also like to show it off to my friends as well. :D
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Thanks I see how I can go back to that "stock" dialer using root explorer...love the change. Always learning new stuff here!!!:D

acandia007 I tried onix and my sores were poor, but that really didn`t matter I found the phone laggy without the tweaks. Put the tweaks on and still find that for some reason my phone likes the Speedmod KC13D kernel, I found it way smoother..... I first tried to oc/uv and it froze @ 1.3....I will have to go back and try again when I have more time. Quadrent score on Speedmod is 1350 to 1375 but runs real smooth!!

Timer

Anyone know how to fix the sound for the countdown timer? Mine is muted.
[Captivate Android Development] hipha:
Thanks for your response. However that didn't work either. This its funny because before I had the opposite issue where all I should get was 3g location and gps never worked. Now that gps is perfect, 3g doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
hmm make sure this is on?

settings > location > use wireless networks
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Ok here's one that will bake a few noodles...

I live in an area that is somewhat barbaric (no 3g). I have jk4 and noticed that it was picking up a 3G signal... the network is not active yet but should soon be.... I get 3G speeds and all sorts of good stuff but the phone camps on Edge.

I decided to flash a few other modems to see if I was glitching on jk4 so did kp1 and jl3...neither could find a 3G network where I live...I go back to jk4 and can magically get 3G again but I have to manually select it. The phone doesn't hand off. I have the phone configured to select WCDMA first if there is a signal in the area.

Ideas?

Could jk4 be so awesome that it builds its own 3G towers?!
[Captivate Android Development] hipha:
Yeah that was always on... :S

2.6 Keyboard

Any chance you can post the Gingerbread keyboard from 2.6? I prefer the old keyboard to this new blacked out version.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Try downloading a location spoofer from the market and see if that works.
[Captivate Android Development] chinesedevil:
Use gingerbread keyboard in the market by Steven Lin its the same thing basically but the spacebar and auto correct is orange themed. If you want extra functons with the KB get the paid version for only a dollar.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I think if you have it you could use root explorer (or another program like it) and take out the .apk for the gingerbread keyboard and drop it into the /systems/app folder. You would need the 2.5 to 2.6 update zip to get the .apk from. Worked for me with the " stock dialer" (I put in a themed dialer and wanted to go back to the FF 2.7 "stock dialer"), it rewrote the file and on re-boot the "stock dialer" was back. The same process should work!!
[Captivate Android Development] KayvinM:
make sure you also drop the libjni_gblatinime.so file into system/lib otherwise the keyboard will FC like crazy.

Not exactly sure what it does technicality but it seems to be required for the keyboard to work properly.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I haven't been keeping up with the thread lately. I'm just wondering if there is something I can flash to remove the 'FireFly font scheme' from the lockscreens. I flashed some battery mods and it changed the font scheme of the time.
[Captivate Android Development] capedavenger:
not much to say except great ROM.

i've had this firefly for a week straight and i usually switch ROMs faster than that. :)
[Captivate Android Development] xyanide14:
dunno about you guys, but my phone seems to be crashing frequently...started 5 minutes after flashing this rom.

any ideas as to why this happens?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
@JGGW .have you tried any of the 2011 modems? I'm using jpg currently and I find it's got all that jk4 has but it's more consistent, jq1 is getting similar reports...

Just a thought.....

you'll probably need shoman's method to get 850.

It's worth it.

Sent from a fire fly's abdomen using morse code
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would do a full odin to stock, master clear and a fresh install. The full ROM obviously and I'll be willing to bet that your issues are solved. Don't forget to backup your apps before the master clear :)

I have some time off starting monday so will prolly flash some of the newer modems this coming week.

I find that jk4 has been rock solid for me....I am just wondering what could cause a phantom 3G signal up here in the middle of nowhere...it is gone now btw, perhaps they were testing the new network.

How is the gps and battery life on jpg?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
jpg is great for me in oz... gps is the best so far, i have a 1008, first time i've got a lock in under 10 sec. and battery life is much better. it will idle for hours , as in over night , and maybe loose 1%. data on auto sync off :) my ul/dl speeds are much more consistant and often the same speed, 3down 3up is common. almost never lower than 1.2/1.2. better signal and audio.

coming from jk4,kp1,jl3..... i think you'll be pleased

i will try jq1 today or tomorrow.

if the 3g infrastructure is on it's way, occam's razor says it's likely a test of the up and coming, can you isolate and use the signal with your service?
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
I have another problem, and I know lots of you have this too. I use the e-mail program for my Exchange/Hotmail account. I have it set to vibrate and melody for notification when I get a new message. The problem is that 75% of the time, I get HALF a notification. The vibration/sound stops smack in the middle and cuts right off. It's getting very annoying!

Is there any known way to remedy this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I tried mine as well and it works fine....the only thing i found odd was that when/ if it was interrupted...(ex: I'm watcing a video and a call or text comes in...i go back and i have to let the video buffer again)....it would not start where it left off. I know it may not sound that big of a deal, but i remember the Stock roms with Old youtube app was able to start from where it was paused/ interrupted.

I have tried/ tested the Camera as well and it works fine. I didnt think our phones had Flash to begin with? News to me.

Pretty much what JGGW said except for i would also go as far as reformatting INternal storage + clearing Dalvik/ User cache (even tho Master CLear is supposed to do that anyways/ some have reported NOT).

Txt Message Time Stamp Issue

I am having an issue with my FF 2.7. I had recently just flashed FF 2.6 when I realized that the 2.7 update was available. So I am a complete noob.

My issues is w/ the txt messenging. When I get replies, it get's time stamped to a few hr earlier, so I have to scroll up to find the txts hidden somewhere in the txt chain. What is the solution to this?
[Captivate Android Development] djnoicatse:
@marko190.....Flash the mms/sms time fix in the firefly app or find the zip on the op.
[Captivate Android Development] llobak:
i just flashed firefly 2.7 and i encountered 1 problem. i could not set the time and date of my phone. but i could not find any fixes. Anyone can help me?
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
I just flashed 2.7 and left it off the charger over night. yikes! Lost 25 % of my batt in 6 hours! Is this normal? I odined/mastercleared before flash. Did not restore any system data with ti/bu. Auto sync was on, left kernel/modem stock with lag fix enabled. I had similar batt results with FF 2.2. Suggestions? I'd love to stick with this rom, but the batt loss is def a deal breaker
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
I'm finding the jpg modem helpful for saving a sleeping battery.

last night mine sayed sleeping on 10% from 1am till 1030am.

Nine and a half hours and didn't loose a drop. That's with juice defender set to aggressive.

[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I have that too -email notification sometimes gets chopped off. I've had it on other roms too, but not consistent enough to figure out a pattern

Sent from my captivate running the latest firefly
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
25% over 6 hours is normal for some. Some people here go 2 days with 5+ hours of screen on time. My phone never went more than 14 hours with 2-3 on, no matter the rom /kernel/ modem combination.

If this is unusually high for you check the following:

1. What kernel / modem combination did you have on a rom that worked for you. Try going back to that one.

2. Try the same test with auto sync off, or after a day of usage - initial sync sometimes drain battery fast

3. Check if there are widgets / apps installed by default that you don't get with other roms that work for you. They may be the cause

You can fix this by flashing the "Mms/Sms Time Stamp Fix" in the FF Mods and Fixes app that came with FF2.7.

Nothing major just new boot screen and audio dock support.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
Yup, need that audio dock support as i have the Samsung car dock.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
To everyone mentioning poor battery, make sure to wipe batt stats and give it a few charging cycles before passing judgement on battery life. The battery stats has memory, draining and charging a few cycles will reset it. I'm already seeing great battery life on v2.7 & Onix, not that it wasn't good before that is.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
It is a small change to the framework, I can get it you you tonight when I get back home

[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I have noticed a huge difference in battery life by manually turning wifi on when I need it and turning it off as soon as I don’t as opposed to using the sleep policy. Looking at 60% over 18 hours. Running Onix and KP1 modem. I am overclocked to 1200 and undervolting of course.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I had thought it was prolly a network test, I was just flored by getting 3G that my brain temporarily liquified and I wasn't thinking straight.

As for the other modems, can you link me to getting the 850 band working on jpg.. I read about how to get it a while back but would rather not sift through all sorts of posts before finding it. Thanks in advance :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
I have found this to be true no matter what ROM/kernel/modem combo I'm running.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
I do this as well and right now I am running k13A with jk4, manual brightness settings with the screen filter app on at night. I generally go a good 20 hours/ workday unplugged with approx 1 hour phone use, 100+ texts, reading the news and playing ATC for a while... screen time easily exceeds 3 hours and by the end of the day I am usually down to 30% or so. 3G enabled in every location I get it, automatic switching enabled. Airplane mode while flying cuz I will constantly have the modem searching if not...but I usually game while in the air. (autopilot and my first officer do the work lol)
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hey X. so i found these in the i9000 threads. dude. it would be awesome to be able to use these with firefly/phoenix/supernova. just thought I'd post it up here because i know you know all about this stuff. I get force closes when i drop the keyboard in my system apps. do you know how i can get this working??? whenever i post in the themes and apps or Q&A i never get a response. seems like the second I come to this thread. BAM!!! question answered. i really want the keyboard. The dialer actually works so no need for that!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
+1

Those are slick looking keyboard and dialer! Can anybody make CWM flashable .zip files out of those?
[Captivate Android Development] MrSub:
skimmed through the thread but didn't find what I am looking for. Is the notification tied to the ringer volume on this build?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
You have the option to have them linked or not.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
You need a lib file to make it stop FC'ing. It is usually libjni_latinime.so or libjni_gblatinime.so

I will check it out and see if I can make it work.

Can you give me the link to actual theme? I might need to grab the lib file from it.

Erebos keyboard and dialer CWM file.

I am 99.9% sure I did this right. This is from the Erebos theme in the I9000 thread. I am not responsible for bricking as I am new to making CWM files for the forums (I have successfully done so for myself on multiple occasions).

Enjoy :) lemme know if it works...hopefully someone is brave enough to give this a shot.

note: removed the link so it will no longer work, see my post below for an updated version...the keyboard was wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
ADW force closed a couple times after first boot but seems fine now. The dialer is right, but the keyboard isn't. It's a grey button GB keyboard with orange.

Edit: I fixed the keyboard myself by dropping the gb_kb.apk from the theme in system/app. You must have just put the wrong keyboard .apk in the zip. Same name, different app.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
here's what i did guys. i took the libjni_gblatinime.so file from the rom itself. that file is in system/lib. then i dropped that file via root explorer into my phone. again.. that goes into system/lib. then i took the gbkb.apk from that theme and dropped it in system/app via root explorer and it works like a charm.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Yeah, that's what I did too.
[Captivate Android Development] JGGW:
odd...I took the KB that task650 uploaded from page 594 .... no worries,

i will fix it. Glad to see that it didn't break anyone's phones :) gimme 2 mins and it will be fixed.

I took the GBKB from the theme folder and am uploading. Should be up in a couple of mins...sorry about that guys :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
No worries. I was able to fix it with little effort. Thanks for trying, though. I won't test the new one, but I'm sure it will work just fine if you use the files from the actual theme. I'm loving this kb and dialer, btw!

Try this one. I havn't flashed it myself, don't want to lose call recording :) This should work.

Flashing themes a lot will cause issues unless you make sure every single APK and other file has been reverted, as not all themes change the same things.

i don't think so, unless the revert .zip contained the old build.prop for some reason.

For those discussing battery life.

While I was on factory rogers 2.2, the longest I've gone on battery is just over 4-days.

Usage was mostly email and browser (email mostly) and zero talk time. Stayed on 3G often and rarely went Wifi. I would just turned 3G off just before going to bed.

All animations off, display on brightness at all times.

With being on FF 2.7 w/ Onix 2.0.1+EXT4 , all animations on, brightness lowest, quite a bit of browser/email usage (zero to little talk time) and I'm seeing about 2-days per charge.

I'll let it cycle some more to see how it fares.

@ task650

thanks for the dialer from the dark side.......i was just about to dig one out of ff 2.3 wasn't feelin the sexy one.......

for me when i drop the dialer in system/app it becomes phone.apk

edit , no it doesn't.... it's just that the dialer tab activilty.apk is called phone.apk and the phone.apk is called dialer......oops

edit........i just noticed the sound effects.........lol
